.

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

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

Fan Min waited until everyone in the office was gone, then asked: "Old Ji, what happened? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can just tell me directly? There is no need to resign directly."

Ji Qi shook his head slightly and said: "There is nothing more to say. You don't need to persuade me. I have made up my mind."

Then, Ji Qi looked at Liang Jianzhang and said, "Mr. Liang should know why I want to resign."

Fan Min felt very confused. He stared at Liang Jianzhang and his tone gradually became serious: "What on earth is going on?"

Liang Jianzhang opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

He is not Shen Nanpeng. He can't open his mouth to describe others. And if he really needs to talk, he is no match for Ji Qi, who has a background 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 made Fan Min break his guard. He chased out the door and asked Ji Qi: "What happened? Are you hiding something from me?"

Among the four gentlemen of Ctrip, Fan Min was the last one to join. Naturally, he was not very emotionally close to the other three. At most, they were partners.

But precisely because of this, there is no direct conflict of interest between him and Ji Qi, and they usually cooperate very well, so they can talk to each other.

Fan Min was 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 no longer has a place for me, so what's the point of me staying?"

"There is no place for you? Lao Ji, where do you start from?"

Fan Min still didn't turn the corner: "You are a founding shareholder, how could there be no place for you?"

Since he was leaving anyway, Ji Qi had no reservations. He sighed and said, "Old Fan, I have submitted my resignation anyway, so I will tell you clearly. With several financings, the shares in my hands have There are already fewer and fewer. Didn’t the company say it is going to be listed? After the listing, the shares will be further diluted. Once the equity changes occur, I will not be included in the list of board members. I am a person who wants to save face. Rather than being eliminated by that time, I’m going to be kicked out. It’s better for me to resign now and still retain some dignity.”

At this moment, Fan Min finally understood why Ji Qi left. As he said, Ctrip no longer had his position as the founder, and if he didn't leave, he would be kicked out in the future.

Fan Min actually had no say in this matter. A feeling of sadness emerged in his heart. He patted Ji Qi's shoulder and sighed: "Then what are you going to do next? Do you want to do it?" Can I find some connections and help you arrange a job?"

Ji Qi smiled and said: "That's no need. I got 30 million start-up capital from Mr. Lu and plan to start a business again."

"..."

Fan Min froze when he patted Ji Qi's shoulder.

What is the operation of 30 million start-up capital?

"You haven't even left the company yet, and you've already found your next job?"

"No, are you ready to resign after finding a new job?"

"Thirty million."

Before joining Ctrip, Fan Min was already a heavyweight in the China Overseas Tourism Industry. After receiving a master's degree from the School of Management of China Shipping University in 1990, he officially entered the tourism industry. In 1999, he I have already sat in the position of the general manager of China Overseas Travel Agency, and I have access to luxury cars and a dedicated driver to pick me up and drop me off.

But even so, the start-up capital of 30 million was a figure that he could not even imagine.

You should know that Ctrip's initial start-up capital was only two million, and it was prepared by the three founders Shen Nanpeng, Liang Jianzhang and Ji Qi working together.

Now that Ji Qi has gone out to work on his own, before even saying this, the father of the funder has already spent 30 million on him?

For some reason, Fan Min felt sour, as if he had eaten several kilograms of large lemons.

Soon, the news that Ji Qi received 30 million yuan in financing and left Ctrip to start a business again began to spread throughout China Overseas's tourism industry.

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

The emergence of Home Inns has made many peers 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 all turned their attention to Homeinns for exploration and scrutiny.

Especially after learning that the founder of Homeinn is Ji Qi, one of Ctrip's Four Gentlemen, he became even more cautious.

Ctrip, founded in 1999, 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 company in the online travel industry. Companies that enter the market first.

Before the rise of online tourism, offline travel agencies had developed on a large scale for more than ten years, but overall they were still in a chaotic state of local separatism. There was great flexibility in prices between different channels. The emergence of Ctrip has broken the trend to some extent. This information asymmetry situation arises.

Originally, having an industry leader like Ctrip was enough to make other peers uncomfortable, but now Ji Qi has "run away from home" and started a new business with 30 million yuan of capital from the richest man Lu.

Now that there is one more person sharing the meat, won’t everyone have an even worse life in the future?

For a time, the online travel industry was filled with complaints, showing both anger and helplessness.

After all, in addition to Ji Qi, a "professional", there are also rumors that Home Inns received 30 million in venture capital from Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming.

The richest man in Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, in everyone's opinion, this is not as simple as Ji Qi starting a business, but the fate of the richest man in Xia State, who has come to compete with these people for business!

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

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, are you getting carried away by the continuous success with such random investment?"

Lu Yiming remained calm and calm when faced with reporters' doubts and questions: "Please rest assured, I am very calm. I am neither arrogant nor losing my mind. I invest in aquaculture 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 does not take up too much of my time and energy."

"As for investing in the tourism industry, I am purely optimistic about the development of this industry, and everyone should know that I have always liked investing in Internet-related companies, so investing in Homeinns is a 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 long been saturated, right? Are there any new business opportunities in this?"
