Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 619: "Her" Power

"Brother Chao, are you serious?"

After hearing Li Jianchao's ideas, Chen Mo took a deep breath and tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers.

In Chen Mo's philosophy of employing people, loyalty always comes before ability.

When it comes to loyalty, Li Jianchao is a role model - from the care he received during the Shanghe period to the determination shown by those who followed him later, he has shown great drive both in Xiaomi and on the other side.

Everyone calls Zhang Xiaolong the "Father of WeChat", but in fact, Li Jianchao is the one. WeChat was just developed and promoted by Zhang Xiaolong.

Therefore, whether it is developing the WeChat business or building a team for overseas markets, this veteran has made great contributions to the Bi'an Group.

In Chen Mo's heart, Li Jianchao's importance is second only to Sun Ziwei, even surpassing Xu Chaojun, Chen Tong, Zhang Changfa and others, not to mention later comers such as Wang Jian and Zhou Shouzi.

Although as Li Jianchao himself said, there is indeed a ceiling to his ability, just like a diligent old ox, he may not be able to expand territory, but he is the most reliable in maintaining stability.

Chen Mo rarely paced back and forth in the office, and his leather shoes left messy marks on the carpet.

Li Jianchao's resignation has somewhat disrupted his overseas business layout, which was originally scheduled to be adjusted next year.

"You..." Chen Mo suddenly stopped and said, "Don't rush to make a decision. Hand over the work at hand first. I'll give you a month to think it over carefully!"

"Boss, I've thought it through very clearly." Li Jianchao said in a gentle but firm voice, "Of course I'm not leaving right away. I'll wait until my successor is in place."

"Isn't it just that you don't have enough time to spend with your family?" Chen Mo interrupted, "You are only in your early forties, the right age to make a living, why are you complaining about your old age and returning to your hometown?

What if you are transferred back to headquarters?"

"This"

Seeing that Li Jianchao's expression was relaxed, Chen Mo struck while the iron was hot: "Before the end of June, I will find a new CEO of Bi'an International to take over your job. How about transferring you back then? Or you can discuss it with your sister-in-law?"

"That's not necessary."

"Then it's happily decided!" Chen Mo made the final decision, "Brother Chao, you are too self-deprecating. You are able to manage a team of thousands of people in more than 20 countries in an orderly manner. This ability is unique in the group."

Li Jianchao's eyes turned red after being affirmed by Chen Mo so sincerely: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Li Jianchao left, Chen Mo put his legs on the table and fell into deep thought.

Li Jianchao, what position in China is more suitable?

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo had an idea in mind - setting up a new international business division to coordinate domestic and foreign resources would be the most suitable stage for this veteran.

It seems that Zhou Shouzi's promotion plan has to be brought forward. One move will affect the whole body, but Leng Ning, the candidate to replace Zhou Shouzi, is not mature enough for the time being.
At this time, thinking of the good performance of Wu Dan, the investment talent he had recruited before, Chen Mo's brows relaxed slightly.

Thinking about the follow-up plans, it seems that it is time to talk to Xiao Zhou. Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and started calling people.

Soon, Zhou Shouzi came to Chen Mo's room and left after 2 hours.
On the last day of the New Year's Day holiday, the executives, relieved of their burdens, were finally able to enjoy themselves.

Chen Mo also shed his boss's halo, and everyone ate, drank and had fun together, calling each other brothers without any airs.

The only small episode was that when everyone was dancing wildly in the KTV room, Chen Mo was voted by the public to be banned from singing because his singing was too "amazing", and he could only serve as the leader of the atmosphere group with a wronged look on his face.

Happy times are always short. When the holiday is over, everyone packs up and rushes to their respective battlefields with renewed energy.

The convoy drove out of the villa and headed towards the rising sun, and the new year's journey of the Bian Group began.

At this time, in Hangzhou, thousands of miles away.

In the warm winter sun, Didi’s headquarters is bustling with activity.

The entire team had an extremely fulfilling three-day holiday - of course, the kind of "fulfilling" that came from taking time off instead of overtime pay.

The ride-sharing business launched on New Year's Day was like a dark horse, with the market response far exceeding expectations.

This finally made Liu Qing breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the pressure from Didi was too great before, and millions of subsidies were burned every day. Although Didi is now strong and provides reciprocal subsidies, even paper money cannot be burned day and night like this.

"People from the other side are all crazy." She rubbed her temple and turned to look at the meeting room.

It seems that Huang Jieli made the right choice by handing over the leadership of the ride-sharing business.

After several months of observation, she found that this person was a very capable professional manager who had previously worked at Yahoo and Tencent. He was good at fighting tough battles and was one of the core operators during the period of fierce competition between Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo.

Recalling the scene when she and Cheng Wei talked to Huang Jieli and wanted her to be in charge of the ride-sharing business
At that time, Huang Jieli felt that she had only worked on user-side products before, and she was a little afraid to be directly responsible for a specific new business. She said, "Doing business is too tiring, I don't want to do it."

Cheng Wei's face darkened and he said, "This is not a question of whether you want to do it or not. This is something the company requires you to do."

Seeing this, Liu Qing smiled and said, "Boss Cheng, let me and Jie Li have a private chat." Cheng Wei nodded and left without saying anything.
After Cheng Wei left, Liu Qing gently closed the door, her high heels making elegant arcs on the ground.

Liu Qing walked around the conference table and sat next to Huang Jieli from his original confrontation position. He took her hand and said,
"Sister." Her voice was very soft, but it carried a force that could not be ignored.
“Don’t tell me you’re not suitable for this or that.

We women should not limit ourselves in the workplace right from the start. Remember that we have unlimited possibilities. Setting limits on ourselves will only deprive us of the possibility of growth.

Looking at the female pioneers in history who were underestimated by men in patriarchal societies but eventually shone, from Marie Curie to Dong Mingzhu, history tells us that women have never lacked abilities, but only lacked a stage to display their abilities and compete fairly.

Every time we are responsible for a business, we not only shoulder a responsibility, but also have to continue to grow in this field.

When you use women’s unique keen insight into user needs and use delicate management wisdom to rally the team, you can unleash the power of us women and crush the doubts and challenges that come our way.”

At this point, Liu Qing took out a list from his file bag.
"Of course, you are not fighting alone. These are the best soldiers I have selected from various business units, and they will all be under your command.

Today you are at the helm of the ride-hailing business, but tomorrow you may be writing and creating the 'new female business history' of our time."

Liu Qing paused for a moment before slowly saying, "The future of Didi will shine brightly in our hands!"

Huang Jie Li was deeply moved after hearing this. She held Liu Qing's hand as if she had found her organization. Her sharp words in the past were now speechless due to excitement.

Liu Qing showed a meaningful smile and patted the other person's hand, "I understand. I understand."

Subsequently, the core management team of Didi Hitch gradually took shape under Liu Qing's planning and construction.

(The power of "her": Huang Jieli, second from left, Liu Qing, in the middle)
Just after the New Year’s Day holiday, the data curve of Didi’s Hitch business showed an exciting upward line.

After winning the first battle, the team led by Huang Jieli planned to build on their success and prepare to introduce social elements to ride-sharing, and to this end they continued to optimize the product.

Ignoring the fatigue of the technical team who had been working overtime for more than ten days, Didi worked day and night and finally launched a new version on January 2015, 1.

Didi's Hitch function embeds a new concept of "social travel": passengers and drivers can comment on each other, and personal homepages have newly added ambiguous label categories such as "good-looking" and "sweet voice".

The slogan of Didi’s official website was quietly changed to “Meet the Beauty”.

The popularity of Didi Hitch exceeded market expectations and suppressed taxi travel, and also made the person in charge Huang Jieli extremely popular for a while.

Huang Jieli, wearing a neat and tidy Chanel professional suit, spoke freely in the face of the media's interviews:

“With this version update of Didi, we are not simply solving travel needs, but reconstructing the way strangers connect with each other.

Through the precise matching of ride-sharing, the distance between car owners and passengers can be shortened, making this society full of warmth.

Let users regard ride-sharing as a 'new way to meet friends', this scenario."

Her lips painted with bean paste-colored lipstick uttered a very impactful word,
".Isn't it sexy?"

According to Huang Jieli's idea, Didi Hitch would soon become a wild horse running wildly in China's travel market.

As she expected, the ride-sharing business expanded rapidly. The daily data curve was like a warrior marching forward, but in less than half a month the warrior stopped moving forward.

Judging from the data, when the number of hitchhiking drivers reaches a certain scale, the growth curve slows down significantly.

Behind this lies a distinct user characteristic: people who can drive private cars for commuting generally have strong economic strength. An income of a few to a dozen yuan is quite attractive to express drivers, but seems insignificant to hitchhikers.

After all, most hitchhikers have fixed commuting routes, and it is obviously not worth it to spend time and effort on detours for such a small income.

In-depth analysis found that economic benefits are only a secondary demand of a small number of hitchhikers. In comparison, the social attributes that the platform focused on in its early days are more attractive.

At the same time, Uber adopted a completely different market strategy - launching an unprecedented winter subsidy plan.

The plan stipulates that as long as drivers complete the basic task of 80 orders per week, they can receive an additional reward of 7000 yuan. Those with outstanding performance can even earn a monthly subsidy of 2.8 yuan.

This simple and crude subsidy method is exactly the same as the one used by Ele.me and Meituan Waimai last year.

However, Uber's high subsidies soon encountered a "wool-pulling" crisis.

Some users took advantage of system loopholes and obtained subsidies by placing false orders. Since Uber's decision-making system is far away from its headquarters in the United States, the local technical team in China does not have the authority to modify it.

This exposes the shortcomings of the American globalization strategy of "one system to dominate the world", which directly leads to its service quality lagging significantly behind the other two competitors.

It is worth noting that in the face of the rapid expansion of Didi Hitch, taxi travel has shown unusual calm.

The company is quietly completing a strategic transformation: from an early operation-driven model such as local sales subsidies to a data-driven model centered on product innovation and technological breakthroughs.

This indicates that the competition landscape of the online car-hailing market is undergoing a profound change. The industry war is upgrading from the 1.0 era of pure money-burning competition to the 2.0 era of comprehensive competition of technical strength and business model.
