“Boss Chu, I want to retire.”

When Wang Xing saw Chu Sheng’s first words, everyone was stunned.

Everyone looked at him with surprised eyes, not understanding what he meant at all.

Obviously.

He has a good relationship with Chu Sheng.

After all, on Weibo before, he publicly supported Chu Sheng, and said that Chu Sheng was one of Meituan’s investment shareholders.

It’s just that how many shares of Meituan Chu Sheng owns, Wang Xing has never disclosed to everyone.

And now.

He stood in front of Chu Sheng, and the first sentence he said made everyone dumbfounded.

“What is the retirement, when you told me five years ago that you were going public, you didn’t say anything about retirement.”

Chu Sheng’s words made everyone stunned.

Five years ago, Wang Xing, who has been holding the aura of a well-known serial entrepreneur on the Internet for a long time, finally ushered in his own highlight moment.

In the latest list of “40 business elites under the age of 40 in China in 18 years” released by Fortune magazine, Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan Dianping, topped the list.

On September 20, Meituan Dianping will also officially land on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the second technology company with the same shares and weighted rights listed on Hong Kong Island after Xiaomi.

More than two months ago, on July 9, Rebs sounded the enlarged version of the gong on behalf of Xiaomi on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that cost 300,000 yuan. Eight days later, on July 12, eight companies, including Yingke, were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the same time, and four gongs were placed side by side on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the heads of eight companies were lined up side by side, and the two companies knocked a gong in total.

Most of these companies are emerging technology companies that have only been established for a few years.

Yingke and Pinduoduo took three years from establishment to listing, while Qutoutiao took only two years and three months.

In contrast, Xiaomi and Meituan, which survived eight years to land on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, can be regarded as having a long history.

You know, before Xiaomi, it took Rebs sixteen years to bring Jinshan to market.

For Wang Xing, in addition to Meituan’s eight-year entrepreneurial history, the industry has also widely circulated his entrepreneurial story of nine defeats and one victory since 04 years.

Fast or slow, the secondary market has its own reactions, and the story of Meituan Dianping has just begun.

But no one expected that in this story, there was also a supporting role of Chu Sheng.

………………

Speaking up.

Wang Xing, this person, is very low-key.

In the past few years, with the listing process of Meituan Dianping, various stories about Wang Xing have frequently appeared in the news.

In fact, even for serial entrepreneurs, Wang Xing is willing to take the initiative to meet the media opportunities are not much, especially in recent years.

A few years ago, when Meituan and Dianping merged into such a big thing, he was willing to remain silent.

That is, the company releases 340 capital financing news, which can sometimes become an exception.

At the end of 17 years, the last round of financing before Meituan Dianping’s listing finally landed after long rumors.

At dusk of the same day, Wang Xing was interviewed by the media including Yicai at the headquarters of Yanjing.

Wang Xing was in a good mood at that time, talking about financing, going public, and the investment style of Penguin and Alibaba, and all kinds of questions did not refuse.

In his own words, he was influenced by a certain senior.

And now it seems.

This person is most likely Chu Sheng.

After some pleasantries.

“Teacher Chu, you are familiar with President Wang?”

Huang Xiaochu looked at Chu Sheng cautiously and asked.

“Hmm.”

Chu Sheng nodded: “This guy started his own business, which I instigated. ”

Everyone looked at Wang Xing, and saw him nodding and said with a smile: “That’s right, Boss Chu has helped me a lot, without him, I might not be able to go today.” ”

????

????

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The audience in the live broadcast room was in an uproar.

“What’s the situation?”

“I wipe!”

“No, the relationship between Chu Sheng and Wang Xing is too good.”

“yes, yes.”

“It’s kind of unexpected.”

“I really didn’t expect it.”

“I watched Wang Xing’s interview before, and he said that he has a respected big brother, it won’t be Chu Sheng.”

“Really fake?”

“It seems to be true.”

“Unexpectedly, these two people are still related.”

“………………”

The barrage said that there was everything, but I have to say that everyone is really very curious about the relationship between Wang Xing and Chu Sheng.

But there is one thing to say.

Wang Xing is really too low-key.

As a last resort, I don’t like to show my face in public.

The reporters could only run to the meal he had previously started to develop to see Wang Xing’s update.

Compared with the few words in front of the public, Wang Xing in the meal is extremely active.

In more than ten years from 07 to 18, Wang Xing updated more than 10,000 news messages. Nightmare. ”

Among these tens of thousands of messages, Zheng’er Bajing said that the content of Meituan does not even have fifty items, but that is, this is the probability of a few thousands, reporters are still willing to search for clues, after all, there is a more real Wang Xing alive in the meal.

In the meal, Wang Xing is obsessed with scrutinizing various nouns, and likes maps, knives, and statistics.

Wang Xing not only had to know the third character pronounced ru, but also studied that the fourth character actually had four pronunciations: zhu, y, 1, ju.

When he is fine, he also has to figure out the difference between these actions that can be done with a knife, such as “chopping, chopping, chopping, cutting, cutting, stabbing and cutting, picking, chopping, shooting, inserting, prying, cutting, latticing, blocking, scraping, carving, carving, carving” and other actions that can be done with a knife.

It’s hard to imagine that a serious-looking science and engineering man would repeatedly practice a new skill, just so as not to start directly, but to peel a tea egg with chopsticks and a spoon.

From time to time, Wang Xing will also develop a small hobby, such as fancy the English menu of Chinese restaurants.

More often, as an entrepreneur, Wang Xing will sigh a lot: “What matters is not the current position, but direction and speed, and acceleration.” ”

This is Wang Xing’s, this guy is indeed a magical person.

……………………

No one expected that Wang Xing would suddenly appear in the yearning, and he was also called Boss Chu Sheng.

Let’s be honest though.

For the audience, the appearance of this level of rich people gives people the feeling that they are completely two concepts with those stars in the entertainment industry.

If Chu Sheng before let several movie kings come to visit specifically, giving people the feeling of being approachable, then he who appeared in front of Wang Xing made people feel a little majestic.

“Mr. Wang, I’m a regular user of Fanno.”

Looking at Wang Xing, Huang Xiaochu said with a smile.

“yes, that’s a coincidence.”

Wang Xing laughed.

“Godfather, what is rice?”

Reba looked at Chu Sheng curiously and asked puzzled.

She really didn’t know about this thing, after all, she was still young at that time.

Chu Sheng smiled and explained to Reba.

Rice is a platform created by Wang Xing before, in fact, it was still very famous in the early years.

In addition to Wang Xing, who is the founder of Fanno, the god-level figure on Fanno is Zhang Xiaolong, the founder of Prestige, who has been diving for many years.

He once said: “Weibo is a place to wear clothes, and dinner is a place to undress.”

A year or two later, Zhang Xiaolong left Fangno, and finally left behind 2,400 Fangno news.

Six years later, Fanno shut down the registration service. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

This means that people outside can no longer come in, and Fanno has truly become a small world for old users.

And although it has been reduced to the self-reserved land of Wang Xing and a small group of old users, the rice has also been popular.

Under the banner of the Chinese version of Twitter, Fanno was founded in 07.

First half of ’09. The number of users has soared to the millions.

If it goes smoothly, it will be another story that will change the social pattern of China.

And then.

In the middle of ’09, the meal was shut down.

Interestingly, a month after the banno was shut down, Sina Weibo was born.

No one knows what happened in between.

This is true even today.

Moreover, it turned out to be an old user.

“That’s awesome!”

Listening to Chu Sheng say the development of the rice network back then, everyone was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this is actually a website that is ahead of the entire era.

Although it is a pity to fail in the end, I have to say that Wang Xing, this guy, is still very powerful.

In fact, before that, Wang (bbed) Xing has been enthusiastic about various types of social entrepreneurship.

At the beginning of 04, the twenty-five-year-old Wang Xing interrupted his doctoral studies in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Delaware, and when he returned from the United States to start a business, his first project was called “Duoduoyou” (a pan-population SNS).

After “Duoduo Friends”, I did a second project called “Yuzi Tu” (for overseas friends).

In the fall of ’05, Wang Xing decided to focus on a market segment, and finally determined to be a college campus SNS, which later led to the campus intranet.

The school’s intranet attracted 30,000 users within three months of its release, and Wang Xing also made a name for himself in the Chinese Internet circle.

But the flip side of the rapid growth of users is that Wang Xing had no money to increase servers and bandwidth in 06 years, and had to sell the intranet to Thousand Oaks Interactive Group, and later Chen Yizhou, CEO of Thousand Oaks, changed the campus intranet to Renren, and Renren went public in one year.

Wang Xing and other core team members of the intranet also joined Thousand Oaks Group with this acquisition.

As soon as the lock-up period passed, everyone left the company one after another.

After leaving the Thousand Oaks Group, Wang Xing continued to socialize, and founded Fanno in 07.

The shutdown of Fanyu eventually pushed Wang Xing out of the social realm, and finally founded Meituan in 2010.

“Mr. Wang, is it because of the meal that you gave up the social dream that you have been insisting on since you started your business?”

Teacher He thought about it and asked Wang Xing.

Let’s be honest.

This is what many people have on their minds.

After all, Wang Xing seems to have never set foot in software in the social field since the meal.

Of course.

It also means that he is more mature.

“Not really.”

Wang Xing smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: “Starting a business itself is also an attempt, whether it is rice or Meituan, in fact, it is my attempt, this single Chu boss knows best, without him, I can’t succeed.” ”

Everyone’s eyes looked at Chu Sheng again, all a little curious.

“Teacher Chu, Mr. Wang used to do the intranet, cooking or not, it is a social media, social network, it seems that it can affect the dissemination of information, more socially significant things, do e-commerce and Meituan is also very good, but isn’t it a little vulgar?”

Huang Xiaochu looked at Chu Sheng and asked cautiously.

Chu Sheng smiled and shook his head slightly: “I think it’s okay, at least I don’t think it’s very vulgar.” ”

“Huh?”

Huang Xiaochu was slightly startled.

Chu Sheng said lightly: “Every time consumers spend money, they are voting, voting to choose the world you want to support.” Then each vote is a transaction, and the transaction amount represents the number of votes you have voted, representing how many consumers you have influenced. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Sheng looked at them seriously and said: “In my opinion, entrepreneurship is a way to change the world, I think every entrepreneur actually wants to live in a world that they want to live in more, but they can’t wait for others to build this world.” ”

Chu Sheng said.

Wang Xing on the side nodded frequently, and it was obvious that Chu Sheng’s words were very correct in his opinion.

After all, Meituan won the group buying war that year and became a leader in the group buying industry, with a market share of 80%. Ele.me was taken down by Ali again.

afterwards

Meituan couldn’t wait to cross the border into the taxi market and bought Mobike in a big way.

Doing taxi and collecting Mobike has made Meituan successfully among the poles of the travel market that cannot be ignored, but this position is indeed real money.

At present, in addition to takeaway and in-store dining, Meituan also covers hotels, tourism, taxi, ticketing, short-term rental, fresh food retail and other aspects.

It is worth mentioning that although Meituan Dianping still has a distinctive takeaway company label, in Wang Xing’s plan, the company’s future is to serve e-commerce platforms, and Meituan’s learning goal is Amazon.

After all, there are hundreds of millions of domestic middle class, and this user scale has a huge demand for services, including catering, travel, travel, etc.

“Although it looks like we’re growing a lot of different businesses, we’re actually just working toward one goal.”

Wang Xing smiled at Huang Xiaochu and others: “Meituan Dianping is a company centered on user needs. ”

Hearing Wang Xing’s words, Huang Xiaochu didn’t say anything, just lowered his head and was thinking about something.

On the contrary, Peng Peng hesitated and asked Wang Xing curiously: “Mr. Wang, Meituan’s business seems to cover many industries, your front is very long, and each project seems to have strong competitors, so it won’t seem a little unfocused?” ”

Hearing Peng Peng’s words, everyone was a little surprised, but they didn’t expect that he could actually ask such a meaningful question.

Wang Xing smiled and looked at Chu Sheng: “Boss Chu, what do you think?” ”

Chu Sheng laughed: “There is a sentence I agree with very much, you must be very focused on doing traditional industries, but to do the Internet is actually to be an octopus, claws are stretched everywhere, you see that the focus is not effective.” ”

These are the words of his heart.

In Chu Sheng’s view, traditional industries should focus on expanding the scale and reducing the cost of individual users.

In the Internet era, the economic laws have changed, and the larger the number of users, the greater the value of each user, forming a network effect.

“To open up the margin, the value of each user is reflected in multiple services, as long as you manage well and choose the right track, these network effects will continue to expand.”

Chu Sheng said calmly: “Wang Xing, this guy, I think he is a deep learning machine, he will spend a lot of time researching, pondering, learning, and can choose the right new track.” ”

He said it from the heart.

You know, whether it is group buying, takeaway or hotel tourism business, Wang Xing’s team is not the first to enter the track, but the magic of Meituan is that it can always quickly find its own positioning, and finally grab the first and second position in the market.

In Chu Sheng’s opinion, this is really awesome.

Or rather.

In the history of domestic enterprise development, there are few people like Wang Xing.

He has repeatedly lost battles, persevered, and has the determination and will not to give up.

Moreover.

He is always able to find the one that suits him among various projects.

This is probably the legendary talent who is both hard working and talented.
