Ruixiang's annual meeting this year quickly became a hot search list on major social media the next day. The conversation between Zhang Yida and Anping was even edited into a short video by various Internet celebrities and UP masters, which quickly spread on the Internet.
Come.
Words such as "OKR" and "incubation entrepreneurship" have also been interpreted and elaborated by professional financial media people.
Ruixiang's move is very eye-catching. At least in the past few days, the number of resumes received in the HR mailbox has doubled.
Of course, everything has two sides. Some people are optimistic about it, while others are naturally opposed to it.
In the view of this group of naysayers, Rui Xiang's move was more of a show than practical. The purpose was to gain a good reputation so that he could poach people from other giants later.
But in general, the public is quite looking forward to and optimistic about Ruixiang Incubation employees opening a pig farm.
Not every company has such good benefits and will help employees realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
Internally, Ruixiang also clearly feels that employees are more motivated to work, and they no longer feel that OKR is as dispensable as before, and they even have some resistance.
"What is this? 10 people collect 10 million OKR and then start a business?"
Zhang Yida threw the documents on the table and asked Lin Zhenyang.
Lin Zhenyang smiled and said, "The effect of the annual meeting is too obvious. Now many employees are ready to take action."
Zhang Yida also underestimated the attractiveness of "incubation entrepreneurship" to employees. After thinking about it carefully, he also found it reasonable.
For some employees who joined Ruixiang in the early stages, the company options they received alone ensured that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and they could naturally start a business with confidence and boldness.
Generally speaking, when a company goes public, there will be a wave of resignations, unless the company's stock price plummets, or the cost of option exercise is too high for employees to afford apartments.
Ruixiang's valuation has increased nearly a thousand times from its Series A financing round of US$250 million to today. Employees who joined early, even if they are very junior employees, have options worth tens of millions.
People often say that when you are full and warm, it is a very normal idea to want to start a business now.
In the past, no one took the lead and set an example. Anping was the first to take the initiative, and others began to follow suit.
"Ten people are too many. It's best not to have more than three people in a startup team. With more people, there will be more ideas, and without a backbone, startup projects will often fail."
Zhang Yida's words were mature words, and Lin Zhenyang nodded in agreement.
He thought for a while and said: "Let me emphasize it again, the entrepreneurial team cannot exceed three people. In this case, most people can be screened out, leaving only two or three teams that are qualified."
Zhang Yida estimates that two or three teams are enough, and it would be just right to start a business.
If the Anping project fails, one of the two or three projects here will be enough to set an example and not disappoint the employees.
Now all the employees in the company are looking at incubating startups and want to see what step they can take.
"Okay, just two or three, let's try our best to help."
Zhang Yida thought of this and asked again: "Is it related to the group industry?"
This issue is very important. If it is not relevant, you can't help even if you want to.
"There is a connection!"
Lin Zhenyang smiled and said, "You said that two days ago. As long as you are not stupid, you know how to make choices."
Zhang Yida nodded, "That's good. Oh, by the way, what's the direction of starting a business?"
“One plan is to provide development, operation, training, promotion and other integrated solution services to the majority of enterprises based on TouRongHui, DouYu, Kuaishou, and Pinduoduo.
The scope of services includes mini program development, online and offline interoperable O2O services, social customer relationship management SCRM, mobile e-commerce VSHOP, light app and other comprehensive business services.
There is also a plan to develop casual games.”
Lin Zhenyang thought for a while and couldn't remember what another project was.
Zhang Yida just read the relevant documents, and he still had some impressions, so he reminded: "Is it the African music streaming project?"
Lin Zhenyang nodded, "Yes, that's the one. I heard that Africans like music and listen to music on their mobile phones every day. Black young people like to wear headphones to show off even if they don't play music."
Zhang Yida shook his head, "I'm not very optimistic about this project. The music streaming software we jointly developed with Transsion has been in development for several years.
I heard that Universal Music has also established a branch in Nigeria, and international streaming music giants like Soundpotion are also planning to enter Africa.
The market is good, but the competition will be very fierce.
They just want to enter Africa with 10 million angel investments, but their chances of success are slim.
However, this is all up to them to decide. You can persuade them and explain the strong relationship. Don't make a decision just by patting your head on your head. Do a good market research first."
Lin Zhenyang nodded, "Compared with the other two domestic projects, the risk factor of this overseas project in Africa is much higher.
We are beyond our reach overseas and the help we can provide is very limited."
"Okay, that's it for today."
Zhang Yida tidied up and got ready to get off work.
"Hey, I got off work so early today. Is Erya back from Chengdu?"
Lin Zhenyang looked at Zhao Erya's WeChat Moments a few days ago and said that she was on a business trip to Chengdu. She heard that she was going to inspect a cooperation project, so she asked accordingly.
"Yes, she plans to go to Chengdu to see how people make animated films. She plans to learn a thing or two."
Lin Zhenyang felt that these two couples worked too hard. They had so much money and they only thought about work every day.
However, when you are young, you should pursue your career more.
"When are you going to have the wedding banquet? You guys have been putting it off and your family didn't press for the wedding?"
Zhang Yida smiled and said, "Come on, come on."
Both families were pressing for it, and he knew that delaying it would not be an option, but he felt it was a bit hasty.
According to his idea, he still wants the company to develop more stably. Now that his business is expanding globally, he often flies around the world, and he is as busy as a spinning top. It is really not the right time.
Lin Zhenyang did not continue to ask further questions. Even if he was a partner and good friend, it was not easy to ask too much about this topic.
Zhang Yida returned home and didn't see Zhao Erya. After calling to ask, he found out that there was actually a meeting in the company.
Well, I really focus on my career.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Zhao Erya returned home exhausted.
Although he was very tired, his eyes were full of energy, presumably because he had gained a lot from this business trip.
"Are you back? Have you eaten yet?"
Zhang Yida got up from the sofa and took the luggage in her hand.
"I ate it at the company."
Zhao Erya lay on the sofa and told Zhang Yida what she had seen and heard during this business trip.
"The "Dumpling" studio is really good. You invested in a good project.
I can see that they are a group of people who take their work seriously, are focused, persistent, and full of craftsman spirit.
They were very enthusiastic and took us to visit their studio and explained the animation production process to us...
I think this cartoon will definitely be a hit."
Zhang Yida nodded. He had heard of relevant stories. Director Jiaozi graduated from the West China Medical College of Sichuan University, the most famous school in their hometown. After graduation, he gave up medicine to pursue painting. He stayed at home for three and a half years and produced his debut film "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon".
During this period, I once lived on my mother's pension of more than 1,000 yuan, which was extremely bitter.
After the first animation became popular, other animations were filmed in the meantime, but they were not well-known until Nezha appeared and once again soared into the sky.
Zhang Yida feels that this is a person who truly loves animation. His achievement is not accidental, but the inevitable result of long-term accumulation.
This is what content creation is like. It's normal to have an idea occasionally, but to be able to make a living in the long term, you have to rely on continuous accumulation and the most important thing is faith.
