After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 506: The Power Struggle, Finally Landed
"Boss Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard that you have made some big news quietly."

Lu Liang came to Cheng Wei's office. Liu Qing was also there. She had a smile on her face and didn't look like a loser at all.

She came to Didi with funds and resources in great glory. Now that she is leaving, she should do so in a carefree manner.

Even if we take a step back, she holds a 1.85% stake in Didi, which is currently worth more than million US dollars.

Three hundred million US dollars per year, equivalent to more than 20 billion RMB, is a number that many people dare not even think about.

"It's all rumors, it's not true."

Lu Liang smiled. How could he possibly encourage the growth of unhealthy tendencies when the product was boycotted by the country?

It was all Sun Yutao's own decision, and it was all the behavior of Sumitomo Mitsui. It had nothing to do with him directly.

"Mr. Lu's words are still so flawless." Liu Qing narrowed her eyes, as if teasing, but also mocking.

Lu Liang's behavior is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when in danger. It only covers its head but not its butt.

But I have to say that it is indeed useful. The company's behavior has nothing to do with individuals. As long as Lu Liang refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to him.

"Boss Lu, Boss Liu, have some tea."

Cheng Wei smiled apologetically, made some tea, and glanced at his watch: "Boss Lu, Boss Zhu will be here soon, how about meeting him first?"

Zhu Jingshi, who was appointed by Lu Liang, was transferred back from the International Department on the day Liu Qing returned from New York. He has been handing over his work and it is almost finished now.

When a COO of a normal company resigns, the work handover procedures will take at least two months, and at most a year and a half.

But Didi is preparing for an IPO and intends to face investors in the market with a completely new look, so many businesses do not need to be reorganized and the handover work is much less.

In addition, Liu Qing strongly requested that everything be kept simple, and if nothing goes wrong, all the procedures can be completed by mid-next month, before the Spring Festival.

"Then let's meet."

Seeing Lu Liang nod, Liu Qing put away her crossed legs and smiled: "Then I won't bother you. See you in the meeting room."

"See you in the conference room."

The two nodded, and Liu Qing left. Cheng Wei couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Lu, I always feel unreal."

He thought the situation was settled, but getting Liu Qing to leave would be a difficult process. Unexpectedly, it went smoothly.

"The paratroopers are able to suppress the real boss. In addition to funds and resources, she herself is an extremely powerful person."

Lu Liang chuckled and took a sip of tea, not hiding his admiration for Liu Qing at all.

If the direction is wrong, there is no point in trying. Many people understand this principle, but few can do it.

Instead of staying in Didi and wasting time, it is better to let go. This is a kind of absolute confidence in oneself.

She believes that it was she who made Didi successful, not Didi that made her successful. If she changes to another field, she can still create another legend.

Cheng Wei remained silent for a long time.

Lu Liang smiled and joked: "Boss Cheng, are you reluctant to let Boss Liu leave, or are you unable to move without Boss Liu?"

"Nothing, I just feel a little lost. After all, we worked together." Cheng Wei explained hurriedly.

In the early years, he also came into contact with many VCs and was well aware of a saying in the investment community: creativity is worthless and investing in companies is just investing in themselves.

Most VCs, including Zhu Hu and Shen Peng, invest in startups without even looking at the business plan.

Generally, we talk to the founder of the company, and if we think this person has shining points and is good, we will invest money.

If he showed even a little bit of lack of confidence, Lu Liang would probably become the next Liu Qing.

He will first manage Didi for him until a qualified manager is found, and then he will become a mascot.

"Boss Liu left so abruptly. She must have thought about her next step. Don't worry about her. Maybe we'll see each other again."

"makes sense."

While they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Jingshi knocked on the door and came in. He was 42 years old, had been out on business for a long time, had a slightly dark skin, and looked very lean and capable.

He nodded to Cheng Wei, said hello, and then looked at Lu Liang: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Zhu Jingshi."

Although Cheng Wei was kind to him, it was Lu Liang who brought him back, otherwise he would still be wandering abroad.

This is a grace of rebirth, and he will remember it in his heart.

"Mr. Zhu, please take a seat." Lu Liang asked Zhu Jingshi with a smile on his face about his short-term plans for the next three years.

COO stands for Chief Operating Officer, who is responsible for formulating the company's long-term strategy and supervising the execution of work by the general managers of each branch.

Their main responsibilities include implementing the company's decisions, plans and instructions, and managing the company's operations.

The difference between him and the CEO, to put it simply, is that one is responsible for internal affairs while the other is responsible for external affairs, so Lu Liang wanted to hear his opinion.

Zhu Jingshi pondered for a moment: "The first step is to clear up the women's rights issues within the group before going public."

"How do you plan to deal with it?" Lu Liang smiled slightly playfully.

In recent years, women have claimed to have awakened, and women's carriages have appeared in all walks of life, even on the subway.

This year, Didi has been involved in two serious cases and many disputes, in which women are always the victims. Didi is not popular among women, so Liu Qing can only set up a diversity and inclusion alliance to increase the number of female employees in the company, and use the banner of being a woman, empathizing with women, and caring about women to divert the focus of public opinion.

Currently, the company has a total of 7200 employees, including 5472 female employees and 1728 male employees, with a female to male ratio of 76:24.

If we want to solve the feminist issue within the company, we must at least reduce the ratio to 40:60, but if we fire half of the women, public opinion will explode if it is not handled properly.

If one wants to control the ratio by increasing the number of male employees, it will undoubtedly increase a lot of labor costs.

Lu Liang began to doubt whether this COO was qualified.

"All conflicting issues are essentially class issues. Mr. Lu, you have used it before and it is very useful."

Zhu Jingshi flattered her calmly and described his plan: "Through differentiation, we can promote the positions of several women, let them replace General Manager Liu in the hearts of female employees, and then slowly transfer some women away from important management positions."

"Through equity incentives and the listing, we will start a last-in-first-out system. If they want equality, we will give them equality. As long as equal rights for men and women are implemented, I believe that a large number of women will voluntarily resign because they cannot bear the high pressure."

"Finally, we asked the technical department to develop several functions, allowing female passengers to choose their own drivers, giving priority to female drivers, and requiring each driver to be equipped with a listening device, in order to please female users."

Women like to speak online, and most of the money of contemporary men is spent by women, so there is a saying in the market: whoever wins the women wins the world.

As for men, they are the silent majority anyway and are too lazy to speak up to fight for their rights, or they are constrained by the idea that men should not be petty and can be simply ignored.

Lu Liang burst out laughing.

This is a cruel statement, but it is the truth. A certain company leader once said that men's purchasing power is not as good as that of a dog.

He said, "Mr. Zhu, go ahead."

"The second step is to continue to consolidate the market and actively explore overseas markets..."

"The third step is to develop driverless technology and develop new energy industries..."

When Zhu Jingshi talked about the new energy industry, he glanced at Lu Liang and said, "Mr. Lu, maybe we can cooperate more deeply."

After all, Didi holds a 20% stake in Tianxing Technology, and Tianxing Technology also holds a 2% stake in Didi, so they are natural partners.

"Okay, let's talk sometime."

Lu Liang glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "It's almost time, let's go to the meeting room together."

He stood up and left his seat, passing by Cheng Wei and Zhu Jingshi, and patted them on the shoulders: "Didi will rely on you from now on."

The two looked at each other and nodded heavily.

The meeting was held at two o'clock. Because there were many important things to be announced, many people came and it lasted for a long time.

That night, several pieces of news
It quickly became a hot topic and sparked discussion among netizens.

The Power Struggle, Finally Landed

"Liu Qing leaves Didi, Lu Liang takes over"

《Super Unicorns About to Launch IPOs》

The beginning of the decline of the Liu Dynasty and the birth of a new giant

Didi: Women's safety when travelling is urgent, three new rules issued

"The beginning and end of the Lu Liu dispute..."

Among the top ten hot searches, seven are related to Didi.

It stands to reason that it is difficult for business matters to occupy the hot search headlines of the entire network, and the hot search headlines are basically dominated by the entertainment industry.

However, the news was too explosive. It not only concerned the power change of a unicorn group, but also the disputes between contemporary independent and outstanding female representatives and contemporary young business leaders.

A few days ago, Bitcoin soared and then plummeted, Xiao Wang sued Binance, and the public speculated that Lu Liang was the boss behind the scenes.

The accumulation of various hot topics led to a power change in Didi. What was originally a business matter became so popular that it completely broke the circle.

What Lu Liang didn't expect was that the number of people blaming him was much smaller than he had imagined.

It all started when a self-media blogger shared the inside information about why Liu Qing left Didi and why Lu Liang was able to take over so smoothly.

Years ago, Didi submitted an application for listing review, but the Ministry of Commerce rejected the review, so Luliang was introduced to assist in the listing.

The previous generation of Lao Liutou specialized in representing foreigners in lawsuits and accumulated connections for this generation of Lao Liutou.

This generation of old Liutou has become a comprador, and the 5G voting scandal is still fresh in their minds, causing Huawei to lose the 5G customization rights.

Liu Qing is a master's student who studied in the United States and joined Goldman Sachs after graduation. According to the tradition of the Liu family, she should have some rare attributes.

Didi is also the holder of a domestic high-precision map license. Maps and road information have been military secrets throughout the dynasties.

Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that Liu Qing submitted some data that should not have been submitted when submitting her application for review last time, which led to its rejection by the Ministry of Commerce.

Although the 5G voting scandal has been covered by various tax evasion and yin-yang contracts in the entertainment industry, it does not mean that the Internet has no memory of it.

Last year's "Southern Affairs", this year's "Westward Affairs", and the "Wolf Warrior 60" which grossed 2 billion yuan in the middle of the year, all prove the rise of national pride.

At this time, Liu Qing still wanted to follow the ancestral teachings and become a member of the "family of loyal heroes", which was simply going against the will of the world.

Lu Liang was acting in the name of justice and indirectly protecting the integrity of national information.
