Winning the new financial era

Chapter 108 Recruiting a General

In early November.

The inaugural meeting of Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund was held in the Pangu Seven Star Hotel in Wudaokou.

Zhang Yida also dressed up carefully, and attended the meeting with Ruixiang, Yimin and other executives.

Under the dazzling LED screen in the lobby, Zhang Yida, Lei Dongming, Shen Beipeng, and Xu Xiaoming put their hands on a crystal ball together.

随着LED屏幕上的倒计时，“10、9、8……3、2、1”。

The crystal ball glowed, and Ruixiang's "Cartoon Elephant" logo appeared, as well as a series of words, "The first phase of Ruixiang's industry win-win fund raises 3 million U.S. dollars."

The reporters in the audience immediately captured this wonderful moment, and the flashes shone on the audience.

It was time for the organizer to speak next. Zhang Yida, in a suit and leather shoes, walked to the podium with a corsage pinned on his chest.

Zhang Yida was already familiar with speaking on stage. Looking at the crowded audience, he smiled into the microphone and said:
"First of all, I would like to welcome the arrival and support of all the guests. On behalf of Sharp, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you from the Financial Technology Group...

Why was Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund launched?
In fact, I had this idea when I got the first financing from Xu Xiaoming and Shen Beipeng.

As an entrepreneur, you must first have a good idea, then technology, and then capital.

Speaking of funds, I can share a little story with you here.

A short story about Sharp's A-round financing. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Yida glanced at Xu Xiaoming and Shen Beipeng who were sitting in the first row, they were looking at him with smiles.

Zhang Yida continued:

"At that time, Ruixiang had many development strategies and ideas, but due to financial constraints, it has been unable to realize all the ideas.

In addition, due to limited funds, our office was squeezed into the school's dual innovation center that supports entrepreneurship.

The office buildings outside are too expensive to rent!
Through the introduction of the school teacher, I got to know Mr. Xu Xiaoming, and he introduced me to Mr. Shen Beipeng.

The two teachers have helped Ruixiang a lot, and I am very grateful.

After obtaining the A round of financing, Ruixiang moved to a luxurious 5A Grade A office building.

In the clean, tidy and bright office building, the development of Ruixiang is also on the right track.

Recruit more elite talents, open more business lines...

In one year, Ruixiang has completed the road that traditional enterprises may need to develop for 10 years.

And all of this is inseparable from the investors who accompany Ruixiang's growth all the way.

Therefore, after Ruixiang has achieved certain results.I just want to help support some entrepreneurs who are in the same situation as me, and help them solve their financial problems.

Give them wings and let them fly freely!
Let me introduce the Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund here in detail.

You can understand it as VC, PE and angel.

We don't care what stage the invested company is in, as long as it is a good company we think, we will invest no matter whether it is in the early stage or in the mature stage.

In addition, the name of the fund is "Win-Win", and the purpose is to achieve a win-win situation for both the fund and the invested companies, with strategic investment as the main focus and financial investment as a supplement.

We do not intervene in the controlling stake of the company, and are willing to grow and develop together with the invested company.

The investment fields are mainly emerging technology and new consumer economy companies, supplemented by education, medical care, and industrial technology.

If you have a good entrepreneurial project, you can send another letter of intent for financing to Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund in the future. "

After the speech, the audience applauded like thunder.

Next is the buffet reception.

Zhang Yida took a goblet filled with champagne, and began to chat with the visiting investors and entrepreneurs.

Huang Xin from Meituan, Zhang Ming from Toutiao, and Chen Wei from Didi were all present, chatting together.

Zhang Yida also stepped forward to say hello: "Three brothers, what are you talking about? So happy."

Chen Wei chuckled, his eyes narrowed into a line, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are so generous! We are fighting the fast ones to the death, should we consider supporting our brothers?"

"That's no problem! Ruixiang Industrial Fund will eat up all the shares that are released." Zhang Yida knew that he was joking, but if he really sold the shares, he could still invest a fortune.

Chen Wei didn't continue this topic, and let it go after a haha. Penguin is now the major shareholder of Didi, and it is also leading the D-round financing that will start soon. There are also Temasek and DST, which are well-known international investment banks.

Ruixiang's energy is too small, and besides money, he can't give Didi anything else he wants.

"I heard that Qiandu Waimai will spend 200 billion yuan in subsidies, isn't it very stressful?" Zhang Yida looked at Huang Xin and joked.

"Fortunately, Qiandu, a big dog, came in to disrupt the market. Let it hang around for a few days, and the future will last forever."

Huang Xin said with a confident look, there was a burst of arrogance at that stop.

Zhang Yida nodded, Huang Xin was becoming more and more mature, with the air of a general.No wonder I overthrew one competitor after another, was beaten more by the society, and grew up.

Qiandu missed the opportunity to transform the mobile Internet, and now it is desperately grabbing straws.

O2O has been targeted, and Qiandu Nuomi and Qiandu Waimai have been launched one after another.With the blessing of huge funds and traffic, this is the time when it is in full swing.

Before Zhang Yida asked Zhang Ming, the other party asked first:
"How about your Huimin bicycle? I think the project is very interesting, but the management is a big problem."

"It's not bad! The crowd tactics can handle it. It's relatively low, and the project is not sexy at all, more like a traditional industry."

Zhang Yida was rather modest, deliberately belittling himself.

"I think there is a lot of room for cooperation with Didi in sharing bicycles. When will the next round of financing be opened? Didi will also participate."

Chen Wei made a trip with a very keen sense of smell, so he set his sights on Huimin's bicycle.

"Okay! Didi is welcome to participate in the next round of financing." Zhang Yida knew that Chen Wei had great ambitions, otherwise he would not have acquired Blue Bike in the future.

They are all travel companies. Bike-sharing and taxi-hailing can complement each other and share traffic.It has the effect of 1+1>2.

But Didi is still in a fierce battle with Kuai, so he can't take care of this for the time being.

Otherwise, Zhang Yida would panic if Didi stepped in.This is also a master who is not short of money. If you come in and give you a user subsidy, you will be so angry that you will vomit blood.

Shen Beipeng walked over with a goblet in his hand, and said with a smile:

"What are the young heroes talking about? I'm also here to join in the fun."

Zhang Yida, Huang Xin and others greeted him one after another, which also shows that Shen Beipeng's status in the venture capital circle is faintly No. 1 in domestic venture capital.

Several people chatted for a while, Shen Beipeng called Zhang Yida away, and said softly as he walked:
"Didn't you always want to find a CEO for Huimin Bike? I found a suitable candidate."

"Really? That's great." Zhang Yida's current energy is too much involved in Huimin Bicycle. Next year will usher in the mobile payment war, and Yimin Financial's spin-off P2P listing. It can be said that he is very busy. open hand.

Therefore, Zhang Yida has been looking for a suitable candidate to be the CEO of Huimin Bicycle. He will be the chairman to be responsible for the strategic direction, and the CEO will be responsible for the implementation and implementation.

"His name is Huang Xiaofeng, the former general manager of Uber Shanghai. He joined Procter & Gamble after graduation in 97 and became Guan Peisheng; he joined Google in 06 and was the early operation team of Google China; Deputy General Manager."

Shen Beipeng said while walking with Zhang Yida.

Zhang Yida remembered who this was, the CEO of Bicycle in his previous life.He is indeed a capable person. When fof was first introduced to the market for half a year, he led the Baimo team to push it up, and even faintly surpassed it.

This is the difference between having management experience and not having management experience.One is a management expert with nearly 20 years of experience in Internet and consumer product management, and the other is a graduate student from Beijing University with no management experience and one or two failed entrepreneurial experiences.

The great situation was missed by Dai Wei, which is why Zhang Yida founded the shared bicycle without him.

Give 100 million to Dai Wei, let him play by himself!Practice for a few years first, and let the society smooth out the edges and corners.

In the private room on the side of the hotel, Zhang Yida saw Huang Xiaofeng, and Xu Xiaoming was chatting with him.

Zhang Yida shook hands with Huang Xiaofeng, and everyone sat on the sofa and chatted together.

"Mr. Huang, what do you think of Huimin bicycles?" Zhang Yida began to ask questions. Although he was a famous person in his previous life, he had never dealt with him before, so he still had to do some testing.

Huang Xiaofeng just resigned from Uber not long ago and was preparing to start his own business, so he came to Beijing to seek investment. It happened to coincide with the establishment of Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund, so he came here to try his luck.

At the reception, an investor friend introduced him to Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming. They were not interested in his entrepreneurial projects, but they were very interested in him.

Zhang Yida asked them to find a CEO for Huimin Bicycle, and they thought Huang Xiaofeng was not bad, so the next scene happened.

Huang Xiaofeng was born in 75. He is not yet 40 years old. He is in the prime of life. He is no stranger to the famous Zhang Yida. He knows that he is a rising star, so he also tried his best to express:
"Huimin Bicycle pioneered the concept of Internet-based bicycle sharing, which is very extraordinary, and the future development prospects are limitless."

Zhang Yida smiled, but didn't answer, his ears were already numb from hearing all kinds of compliments, it was not worth mentioning.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaofeng knew that he had to show some real skills, and continued:

"But the shortcomings are also obvious. The technical barriers are not high, and there will be a lot of competitors soon."

Seeing that Zhang Yida, Shen and Xu both nodded in agreement, Huang Xiaofeng continued:

"There is only one way to crack it. Occupy the national market as quickly as possible, and form barriers based on scale. Let others be cautious and dare not get out easily."

When it came to the point, it coincided with Zhang Yida's opinion. Zhang Yida looked at Huang Xiaofeng and asked:

"How to occupy the national market as quickly as possible?"

Huang Xiaofeng smiled and said:
"It's still a stupid way, financing - building bicycles - subsidizing users - making high data - refinancing.

The faster the pace, the better. It is best to start a round of financing within a few months.Leave all competitors behind. "

The content is quite simple and unpretentious, but it is indeed the most effective method.

Zhang Yida looked at Huang Xiaofeng, smiled and said:
"I would like to invite Mr. Huang to come to Huimin Bicycle as the CEO. I wonder if Mr. Huang is interested in joining?"

When Huang Xiaofeng heard the question Zhang Yida asked him before, he had some expectation in his heart that he might be trying to recruit himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Xiaofeng stretched out his right hand and said, "I'm so happy!"

Zhang Yida also stretched out his hand to hold Huang Xiaofeng tightly, and said with joy on his face:

"Welcome to Huimin Bicycle Family!"

Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming looked at each other, it's done!They have always been worried that Zhang Yida has too many careers and is too distracted, and now they can finally solve this problem.

Zhang Yida was also very happy, and poached the future CEO of Bicycle, to see what Fu Weiwei and Li Bing would do.

One is a reporter and a media background, and he works in shared bicycles across industries.All focus is on electric vehicles.Bicycle still wants to reach the height of the previous life, and I will never give them this opportunity.

For Huang Xiaofeng, it is also a very lucky thing to join Huimin Bicycle, a company with a bright future.

He feels that whether he has a chance to be brilliant once in his life depends entirely on Huimin bicycles.

Secretly cheer for yourself, you must take Huimin Bicycle to a new height and open a new chapter of glory for yourself!
