Ctrip has a very rich history. Next, discuss why Ctrip has four founders.

Why are there four founders?

Unlike many companies, Ctrip has four founders. Why is this happening? This starts with Shen Nanpeng, one of the founders. Shen Nanpeng's investment banking experience enables him to get the hottest and latest market development trends first, and then look at and operate a company from the perspective of investors, which is why Ctrip can go public in three years and two brands in five years. This is why Ctrip has four founders, who learn from each other's strengths like the Tang Priest team. Shen Nanpeng knows where his strengths and weaknesses lie. Regardless of his background or experience, the four-person team has achieved results. From the beginning, it has been designed as an enterprise and commercialized according to the standards of listed companies. It is not packaged before listing and can withstand the scrutiny of critical investors. After successfully listing two startup companies, in 2005, Shen Nanpeng became one of the founding partners of Sequoia Capital China and became a professional investor.

The four founders were called the Four Gentlemen of Ctrip by the media. Next, let's take a look at the karma and introduction between the four gentlemen.

The karma and introduction of the four gentlemen

Among the Four Gentlemen, Shen Nanpeng and Liang Jianzhang were the first to know each other. 1982, Shen Nanpeng and Liang Jianzhang met because they won the first prize of Liang Jianzhang and the third prize of Shen Nanpeng in the first national computer competition for middle school students.

But the first organizer was Miracle, a poor student whose life was changed through education. He has always been full of entrepreneurial passion. Miracle and Shen Nanpeng are alumni of Jiaotong University.

Miracle, 1965 was born in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, and is a graduate student majoring in robotics in Shanghai Jiaotong University. Established Home Inn, Hanting Hotel, Zhu Hua Group, Lishan Investment and other Xiecheng technologies. Shanghai 10th CPPCC member.

At the beginning, he was responsible for innovation, internationalization, strategy, technology and management. He left Ctrip in 2007 and returned on 20 13.

Shen Nanpeng was born in Haining, Zhejiang Province after 1965. If he had 100 yuan in his hand, he would only invest in 20 yuan. He was hailed as a mathematical genius since he was a child and was sent to Jiaotong University. After graduation, I went to the Mathematics Department of Columbia University and found that I was proficient that day, so I applied for an MBA from Yale University. He has worked as an executive of Citibank, Lehman Brothers Asia, Deutsche Bank, founder of Home Inn, global managing partner of Sequoia Capital, tutor of big business schools, member of the 13th CPPCC, angel investor, director of EasyHome China and Focus Media.

Be responsible for specific business and market in the early stage of starting a business. Later, he founded a cruise company.

Now, Sun Jie, a Ctrip woman, will take over the baton of Four Gentlemen as CEO, and she will lead Ctrip to face new challenges.

Two young geniuses in charge of market financing and strategic innovation respectively, a poor disciple with skills who has worked hard all his life, plus a senior management talent who has successfully operated hotels for many years.
