In 2012, Lin Ning joined a start-up company that made taxi-hailing software that no one had heard of. With a low salary, he wrote code, hired drivers, and stayed up late to go online. He just hoped that the company could survive tomorrow.
Later, the company experienced financing, subsidy wars, mergers and listings, and its valuation soared. Some people cashed in tens of millions through options, some bought river view mansions, and some quietly left the company after it became big.
Lin Ning rose from an ordinary programmer to a technical director, but found that the real world is not in the code: capital determines the direction, the system divides the levels, and performance determines whether to stay or not. People who once fought side by side may also stand opposite each other.
From a small entrepreneurial team to an industry giant, this is the story of a group of ordinary people who were pushed to the poker table by the times.
The car has started.
But after getting on the bus, no one knows how long they can sit there.
