Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 612 The richest man is gone?
Ji Qi, who started a new business, is now completely relieved.

With the equity design plan of the new company in hand, even after multiple rounds of financing and even listing, even if he himself only has 30.00% of the company's equity left on the surface, and has not reached the 50.00% control line at all, You can also hold the company firmly in your own hands.

Because he can completely start a family-controlled enterprise and become the major shareholder of the new company. As long as he holds more than 20.00% of the shares and guarantees that the family enterprise controlled by him is completely controlled by his own family members, then Ji Qi will actually control the entire company. The new company has more than 50.00% of the voting rights, which means that the company has the final say on all major and minor matters.

Seeing that Ji Qi's guard and doubts had dropped, Lu Yiming poured him a glass of Moutai with a smile: "Mr. Ji, this glass is to celebrate your new life."

Ji Qi took the wine glass with a wry smile, and said with emotion: "I only know now that capital is supposed to play like this. I feel that my own ideas when starting a business were so naive and naive."

Lu Yiming encouraged: "You are a person with great ideas, and you have enough talent to realize your ideas. Although I am a capitalist, I was also a laborer, so I know that those who work should be rewarded. So I will not use the rules of the game of capital to snatch the fruits of victory that should belong to you, I will only take what I should take."

In middle age, Ji Qi, who thought he had a heart of stone, was still moved to tears at this moment, and promised Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu treats me like a national, and I will repay him with a country."

Lu Yiming laughed loudly: "Work hard, I am a big capitalist, but I am waiting for you to make money for me."

Ji Qi raised his glass: "Happy cooperation."

Lu Yiming also raised his glass and drank it down.

Later, Lu Yiming asked Ji Qi: "By the way, what is the name of our new company? Do you have any ideas?"

Ji Qi thought for a while, and said, "like home."

"puff……"

Lu Yiming, who had just swallowed a sip of soup to hangover, turned his head and sprayed.

Ji Qi was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Rujia, it's as comfortable as living at home, it's really a good name."

Ji Qi joked: "I invested 3000 million without even asking the name of the new company. This is the first time I've seen an investor like you, Mr. Lu."

"No way, I'm such a cheerful person."

On the way back, Yu Jiayi couldn't help asking Lu Yiming in the car: "Mr. Lu, why should we help Mr. Ji complete the equity design of Homeinn?"

From her point of view, Lu Yiming is the capitalist, the one who wants to maximize his profits. What he is doing now is restricting himself and giving Ji Qi the maximum room to play.

Isn't this a betrayal of the bourgeoisie?
Lu Yiming said flatly: "Capital is insatiable, and it is never satisfied. But I am a human being, not a slave to money, so I pay attention to win-win in business. It should be mine, and I will not take a cent less , but I will not give any less of the benefits that should be given, this is fair."

Yu Jiayi seemed to understand but half understood.

Since she joined Future Capital, she has followed Lu Yiming and dismissed many entrepreneurs and financial capitalists. She has met all kinds of people, and only Lu Yiming is the most special.

If she had to describe it, she felt that Lu Yiming should be regarded as a principled capitalist.

Don't underestimate the three words "principled".

Before stepping into the society, Yu Jiayi has already been severely beaten in life, so she deeply understands how difficult it is for a person to have principles and still stick to principles and heart in the face of huge interests.

As an investor, Lu Yiming always considers entrepreneurs and emphasizes "win-win" instead of taking actions to maximize his own interests. In Yu Jiayi's view, this is simply an incredible thing.

She asked herself, if she and Lu Yiming switched positions and identities, would they be able to make the same decision?

She didn't dare to think about the answer, after all, people's hearts can't stand the test.

Zhonghai, Astronomical Building, Nandan Road.

Stepping into the company's gate again, Ji Qi's feeling is completely different from before.

Before coming, he slept soundly for more than twenty hours, slept comfortably, and had a good meal.

Now that he reappears in the company, the tension in his heart has long since disappeared, and he is as relaxed as if he came to visit a supermarket.

"Morning, Mr. Ji."

"Mr. Ji."

"Mr. Ji."

The employees respected him as always, and Ji Qi responded one by one with a smile on his face. If it was in the past, he would be proud at the moment, proud of the business he created.

But now, his heart has become colder than iron and stone.

After recuperating for a few days, the company hardly changed, and it was still running in an orderly manner, as if he was there without him. Ji Qi saw everything in his eyes, and he understood in his heart that Ctrip was no longer his kingdom, and he was no longer his kingdom. Again the monarch of this kingdom.

Ji Qi responded to these employees with a smile, looking as humble as before.

As soon as Ji Qi sat down in the office and took out tea leaves to boil water to make tea, Fan Min walked in and said, "You're here, let's hold a meeting in the small conference room at nine o'clock."

Ji Qi said calmly, "Got it, I just arrived at the company, let's take a break and have a cup of tea."

Fan Min felt a little surprised. After all, Ji Qi was a well-known hard-working Saburo in the company. He went to work in the company at dawn every day and left late at night. It had never happened before like today. .

But after all, it was only a few days of vacation. Fan Min thought that Ji Qi's biological clock might not be adjusted properly, so he didn't think much about it.

Slowly boiling water to make tea, facing the pile of documents piled up on the desk like a hill, Ji Qi didn't even have any interest in flipping through them.

After half an hour, it was more than [-]:[-], Ji Qi got up, went to the bathroom to use the toilet, and then walked towards the meeting room.

In the conference room, all the participants were already seated, and Ji Qi was the last one to enter.Although Liang Jianzhang, who presided over the meeting, was surprised, he was also very happy to see that Ji Qi looked good, and said, "How are you resting? I think you seem to be more energetic."

Ji Qi sat on his seat and said slowly, "Not bad."

Hearing this, Liang Jianzhang smiled slightly and said, "That's good, you have a heavy burden on you, and I'm worried that you won't be able to do the job in a bad state of mind. Now that you've rested, let's discuss it together. What are your opinions and views on the company's layout for the next month?"

Ji Qi yawned, and said slowly: "I don't have any opinions, and I don't have any opinions. I was informed of a meeting just now, and I didn't want to come. But after thinking about it, I still came here. I came to resign, and I don't want to come. done."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the conference room looked at Ji Qi in unison, their eyes full of doubt and shock.

One of the founders of the company is resigning?
What is this God unfolding?

The expression on Liang Jianzhang's face became stiff. After a while, he smiled and said: "Old Ji, there is a meeting now, don't be joking, be more serious."

Although a few people have already ventilated and invited Ji Qi out of the company when the time is right, but now it is still before the company goes public, and there are really many things. The founders create a lot of extra work out of thin air.

Therefore, Ji Qi's decision to resign caught Liang Jianzhang a little off guard.

For the other company executives present, it was even more incomprehensible.Ctrip was founded by Ji Qi and Liang Jianzhang, and now there are rumors that the company will go public in the United States. It can be said that it has been hard work for several years, and spring will soon bloom.Now that Ji Qi actually said that he was going to resign, he might be suffering from some serious illness, right?

Is there any benefit after all the work is done?
What is the God of Wealth in the new century.

Ji Qi said solemnly: "I'm not joking with you, I'm serious."

Not only that, he also directly took out the resignation letter.

"Hey, I have everything ready. I wrote it all night last night."

In the sunshine where everyone was puzzled, Ji Qi let out a long sigh, with a feeling of relief in it.

"Ctrip was born from our hands. I watched it develop and grow step by step, just like my own child. When the child grows up and the wings are hardened, naturally there is no need for the old father. Ctrip can go today, I am very relieved. In the past few years, I have also felt that my body has been hollowed out, and I have been unable to cope with the company's increasing orders. If this is the case, I should also retire."

Obviously, everyone knew that Ji Qi's words were just bullshit.

What's the point of retiring after success? Isn't this just a step away from success?Shouldn't you hold on a little longer?
The management of the company who didn't know the truth suddenly couldn't sit still.

"What's wrong with Mr. Ji? I was in a bad state of mind some time ago, and I resigned immediately after I came back from vacation. Will something happen here?"

"Could it be that the founders of the company are in conflict?"

"The company is just about to go public, so don't make conflicts at this time, please."

Everyone was discussing and looking a little flustered.

Those who can sit in this office are not ordinary wage earners. They have more or less shares in their hands, and they just wait for the company to go public and get dividends and make a fortune. As a result, they are very upset when something like this happens now. .

Seeing this, Liang Jianzhang hurriedly said: "Let's postpone today's meeting until the afternoon. We will talk about it in the afternoon. The meeting will end."

Afterwards, he and Fan Min stopped Ji Qi who wanted to leave.

Fan Min waited until all the people in the office had left, and then asked: "Old Ji, what happened? You can directly express your dissatisfaction? There is no need to resign directly."

Ji Qi shook his head slightly and said, "There's nothing more to say, you don't have to persuade me, I've made up my mind."

Afterwards, Ji Qi looked at Liang Jianzhang and said, "Mr. Liang should know why I resigned."

Fan Min felt very baffled, staring at Liang Jianzhang, his tone gradually became serious: "What's going on?"

Liang Jianzhang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He is not Shen Nanpeng, who can make cakes for others without opening his mouth.And if it's really a matter of word of mouth, he's no match for Ji Qi, who was born in sales.

Seeing that Liang Jianzhang didn't speak, Ji Qi smiled, got up and left.

Liang Jianzhang did not stop him.

Liang Jianzhang's silence directly broke Fan Min's defense. He chased out the door in two or three steps and asked Ji Qi, "What happened? Are you hiding something from me?"

Among the Ctrip four gentlemen, Fan Min was the last to join, and naturally he was not very close to the other three emotionally, at most they were partners.

But because of this, there is no direct conflict of interest between him and Ji Qi, and they cooperate very well on weekdays, so they can talk.

Fan Min is very puzzled by Ji Qi's decision to leave.

Ji Qi sighed and said, "It's not that I want to leave Ctrip, but that Ctrip has no place for me, so what's the point of me staying?"

"There is no place for you? Old Ji, where did you start talking?"

Fan Min still didn't turn the corner: "You are the founding shareholder, how could you not have your place?"

Anyway, Ji Qi didn't hold back, sighed, and said, "Old Fan, I've already submitted my resignation letter anyway, so I'll tell you clearly. With several rounds of financing, the shares in my hand It has become less and less. Didn’t the company say that it will go public? After the listing, the shares will be further diluted. Once the shareholding changes, I will not be included in the list of board members. I am a person who saves face. It would be better for me to resign now to get out of the house, so I can retain a little bit of dignity."

Now, Fan Min finally understood why Ji Qi left. As he said, Ctrip no longer has his position as the founder. If he didn't leave, he would be kicked out in the future.

Regarding this matter, Fan Min actually did not have any right to speak.There was a sorrow of cunning and dead lackeys in his heart.Patting Ji Qi on the shoulder, he sighed, "Then what are you going to do next? Do you want me to find a relationship and arrange a job for you?"

Ji Qi said with a smile: "That's not necessary, I got 3000 million start-up capital from Mr. Lu, and I plan to start a business again."

"..."

Fan Min's hand on Ji Qi's shoulder froze all of a sudden.

What is the operation of 3000 million start-up funds?
"You haven't left the company yet, so you've already found your next home?"

"No, you're planning to resign after you've found your next job?"

"3000 million."

Before joining Ctrip, Fan Min was already a heavyweight in China Overseas tourism industry.In 1990, after receiving a master's degree from the School of Management of Zhonghai Jiaotong University, he officially entered the tourism industry. In [-], he was already the general manager of Zhonghai Travel Agency. pickup.

But even so, the start-up capital of 3000 million is a number that he can't even imagine.

You must know that Ctrip's initial start-up capital was only 200 million yuan, which was prepared by the three founders Shen Nanpeng, Liang Jianzhang and Ji Qi.

Now that Ji Qi has gone out to do it alone, before he has even written off his horoscope, the beneficiary's father immediately dropped 3000 million yuan?
For some reason, Fan Min became sour, as if he had eaten several catties of big lemons.

Soon, Ji Qi received 3000 million yuan in financing, and the news of leaving Ctrip to start a business again began to spread wildly throughout the tourism industry in Zhonghai.

At the same time, a company called "Home Inns Group" also appeared in everyone's sight.

The emergence of Home Inns has made many colleagues in the industry feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.

Pioneers in the domestic online travel industry, such as Huaxia Travel Network, Yitong.com, and CYTS Online, have cast their eyes on Home Inns for exploration and examination.

Especially after learning that the founder of Home Inn is Ji Qi, one of the Four Gentlemen of Ctrip, he became extremely cautious.

Founded in [-], Ctrip was the first to solve the basic booking needs of domestic air tickets and hotels through the combination of e-commerce and call centers. It mainly sells standard products such as air tickets and hotels. It is the largest online travel industry. The first to enter the enterprise.

Before the rise of online travel, offline travel agencies have been developing on a large scale for more than ten years, but they are still in a chaotic state of local separatism in general, and there is great flexibility in prices between different channels. This information asymmetry situation.

Originally, having an industry leader like Ctrip was already enough to make other colleagues feel uncomfortable, but now Ji Qi has "run away from home" and started a new business with 3000 million funds from Lu's richest man.

Now that there is one more person who divides the meat, won't everyone have a better life in the future?

For a while, the online travel industry complained, showing both anger and helplessness.

After all, apart from the "professional" Ji Qi, there are even more rumors that Homeinn has received 3000 million venture capital from Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming.

The richest man in Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, from everyone's point of view, this is not as simple as Ji Qi starting a business, but the end of the richest man in the Xia Kingdom, and he is here to compete with these people for business!

At a regular press conference, a reporter asked Lu Yiming this question: "Mr. Lu, you were obviously investing in chips and laying out the semiconductor industry before, why did you suddenly invest directly in aquaculture and spend money on tourism?" ?”

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, are you being blinded by continuous success in investing in such a random way?"

Facing the doubts and questions from reporters, Lu Yiming remained calm and calm: "Everyone, please rest assured that I am calm, neither inflated nor irrational, investing in aquaculture is to support the economic development of my hometown, and I am only responsible for investing money , does not participate in the actual operation and management, so it will not take up too much of my time and energy."

"As for investing in the tourism industry, I'm just optimistic about the development of this industry, and everyone should know that I always like to invest in Internet-related companies, so investing in Home Inns is a very normal move, and there is nothing to make a fuss about."

A reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, why are you so optimistic about the tourism industry? Now that there are so many tourism companies, the market has already been saturated? Is there any new business opportunity?"
