It is also a vivid case of recent noodles online education website. Noodles, noodles, once as a reality version of "China partner" case was written into the China Youth Daily article, so far its official website is still hung with this article in the media coverage.

Ironically, on the instant noodles, which will receive round A funding, the site, which has a valuation of just over 100 million, is split overnight, just to sign the definitive agreement. The three core team members are almost "anti-enemies."

In the official statement of instant noodles, Wang Chong and Yan Yue Yue, co-founders, were officially dismissed to recover various management rights and retain the right to pursue relevant responsibilities. They also accused Wang Chong and Yan Yue of stopping the direct or indirect use of the illegal instant noodles Code

In the statement, Yu Haoran, the founder of instant noodles, ordered the public to stop a network technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and related parties. Wang Chong and Yan Yue stopped using the trademark of instant noodles and claimed that Yu Hao Ran reserves the right to pursue relevant legal liabilities.

Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue also "to tooth." Yan Yue Yue on July 1, 2014, the instant noodles project team and the original user management staff from the user QQ group kicked out, seriously affecting the instant noodles product market operations.

As a promising online education company, instant noodles bargaining. The biggest problem faced by instant noodles is that three young people, Yu Haoran, Wang Chong, and Yan Yueyue are too young to be seriously misconducted in handling the issue of corporate control.

Ramen it originated from the American University campus

In January 2012, Yoo Ho-ran, the founder of instant noodles, applied to register for the domain name "paomianba.com" and in April of the same year conceived the idea of ​​completing the instant noodle project. In the same year in December, Yu Haoran design noodles bar mark, and invite their students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to participate in the "instant noodles" an early version of the development. This is also the earliest instant noodles.

Subsequently, Yu Hao Ran in accordance with the project development needs, one after another to invite more members to join, as of January 2013, the basic product molding, closed testing. In February 2013, due to the lack of integrated logistics staff, Yu Hao-ran recruiting co-founder Yan Yueyang joined (becoming the 8th member of the noodle bar project team). Yan Yue Yue is responsible for human resources, finance, legal affairs, administrative work.

In April 2013, because of the need to strengthen the content development and operation of the project, instant noodles were recruited by Yu Hao Ran (becoming the 10th member of the noodle bar project team). Wang Chong was responsible for the maintenance of content developer relations in the early stage and later was responsible for the investor relations maintenance in project financing. Wang Chong joined the next day (April 21, 2013), the project entered the internal testing phase.

On June 7, 2013, founder Yu Hao Ran performed a roadshow in Tianjin on behalf of the instant noodles project, started the process of seeking angel investment, and made the first contact with an angel fund. In the same year in October, after the above-mentioned angel fund indicated its interest in learning more about the instant noodles project, Yu Hao-ran, who was in the United States, assigned Wang Chong to further communicate with the relevant funds.

Yu Hao Ran, Wang Chong, Yan Yue three people due to Baidu Summer Summer Camp project get married, the link between the three is once working in Baidu Yang Bin, Yang Bin served as human resources director at Youku potatoes, but also joined the noodles it. Among these people, Yu Haoran 92 years, Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue respectively 88 years, Yang Bin is 70, with Yang Bin the oldest, in which the most stable.

If Yang Born, who has been recognized as Bó Lè by three small buddies, joined the team earlier, the three "partners" may not be able to break up overnight until now. However, the fact is not so ideal. Later, when Yu Haoran was not in the country, Wang Chong and Yan Yueyue established and took a firm hold of the company, laying a hidden danger for the subsequent development.

Serious mistakes in the project were loopholes in the outside world

Noodles Science and Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was established at the end of 2013. However, founder Yu Hao Ran has been studying in the United States for a long time and has not been informed of the shareholding structure and registered capital of the company and has been faked to sign it.

On June 19, 2014, Yu Haoran asked the lawyer for business registration inquiring about it and found out that when the company was registered, Wang Chong held 65% of the shares of the company and Yan Yue Yue held 10% of the shares of the company as its executive director .

Yu Haoran pointed out that during this period of instant noodles company establishment, Wang Chong, Yan Yueyang, "Yu Haoran", Angel Fund and Zhong Xue Zhi Zhi Network Technology signed the so-called "investment in the period when they have not agreed to the main terms and are fake signatures. protocol".

In May 2014, Yu Hao Ran was first informed of the signed version of the above agreement (this version agreement was previously inconsistent with Yu Hao Ran's information that the final version of the investment agreement is inconsistent, in which it is guaranteed that investors and executive directors have the right to lawfully deprive Yu Hao Ran of all the shares) , The agreement does not require Yu Hao Ran signed as a party signed, leading Yu Hao Ran expressed strong protest on the spot.

In the course of meeting with investors thereafter, Yu Haoran said that he was strongly excluded and even attending the meeting can only describe his personal experiences and can not correct Wang Chong and Yan Yue's exaggeration and deviation from the facts.

June 20, 2014, instant noodles team broke serious mistakes. Informed sources told Tencent Technology pointed out that the trademark inquiries found that due to serious misconduct Yue Yue, "instant noodles" trademark in the key application categories by a Henan company registered on April 3.

The above said that as early as October 2013, a number of members of the instant noodles team had asked Yan Yue Yue to apply for a trademark, but until June 2014 when there was a contradiction within the company to organize the data, it was discovered that the trademark was maliciously robbed Note.

This means that if the team expands its use of instant noodles under this applicable category, it may face prosecution, which is undoubtedly a very big mistake for this young team. Yan Yue Yue is also facing a huge accusation within the team.

The story ends up being Wang Chong and Yan Yue Yue being expelled from the team. An early instant noodles staff said that in the face of today's situation, Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue in front of her are reluctant to say anything, they just kept saying "they are very sad."

Yu Hao Ran said that in addition to Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue left, still in normal operation, the instant noodles it has set up a new company, and is gradually opening a new trademark brewing.

Yang Bin are frustrated: watching all heartache

In the eve of the noodle bar burst out on the eve of the noodles it seems thriving, several young people in their 20s after several years of hard work, A round of financing will soon arrive. According to a person familiar with the matter, three VCs give 15% of the shareholding investment of 2 million U.S. dollars, while one investor is willing to give 20% of the shareholding share of 3 million U.S. dollars. According to this calculation, the instant noodles price is estimated at nearly 100 million yuan RMB.

But on the eve of round A financing reached, Yu Hao Ran, Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue, Yang Bin four people together, the equity issue broke out, the story is intense, Yu Hao Ran angry 15 minutes after leaving the scene, the threat did not understand the spot Wang Chong.

Yu Hao Ran said, "I have removed all the code on github (Editor's Note: It is understood that technical staff have previously backed up the code in the Yu Hao Ran backup code); teamwork platform, I also turn off your permission; I An e-mail will be sent to the angels, sent out one hour later, and an e-mail sent to us about the A-wave investors will be sent in half an hour later. In the e-mail, I will clarify the exaggerated data Before you are unwilling to explain the lies are also explained, but also the real product development plan made it clear that it is responsible for the investor to ensure that we talk about now, let's see if the e-mail sent, or let's go with things And investors make it clear. "

For this scene, Wang Chong then thought that Yu Hao ran the original words is "the code only I have a copy," "inside the history of Wang Chong, as this at the beginning of the establishment of the company, how to partner with our angel investors together I framed, want to kick me out of such a thing "and so on. No matter what the two parties described in this passage is true, Yu Haoran's "threat" seems to have played a role. In the following hours, Wang Chong volunteered to propose that all four accept and agree on "reconciliation."

On the very next day when the four people gathered together to erupt, Wang Chong said he did not react suddenly and could not do so in accordance with the "reconciliation" plan. Because "Hao Ran is not impulsive within 15 minutes to do such a thing, but carefully set the Board."

Wang Chong also believes that Yu Hao Ran has three requirements: 1, the second half to go back to school; 2, to be CEO; 3, to control. These three goals can not be achieved at the same time. As Wang Chong said, "In fact, I said that sentence, investors vote on what basis you a part-time person?" In a bystander point of view, Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue Yu Hao Ran expressed dissatisfaction with sufficient reason.

Although noodles were created by Yu Hao Ran in the United States, team members generally recognized him for remotely controlling and promoting most of the work on technology, products and markets, but after all, Yu Hao Ran has long been studying in the United States. In contrast, because of the ability and judgment of Yu Haoran once recognized, Wang Chong chose to drop out of school only when he could complete his thesis and Yan Zuoyuan resigned after he got the teaching of the U.S. middle school. He returned one at home Project teams without a legal identity become a company that operates, and why should they not have more say than a part-time founders? After all, they pay more for this matter.

Yang noodles as the middle of the development of things, so that as a middleman Yang Bin is also very embarrassed, Yang Bin told the media, who accounted for a large stake in things, it can be seen Wang Chong and Hao Ran on the same thing described the opposite, one of two people Individual liars.

Yang Bin said that so far there is no evidence that they were lying between the two of them. See Yu Hao Ran to clean up his computer and keyboard, is already a tearful. "It was a bit distressed to see a man who had been in such a situation for ninety-nine years.

For the event of a final breakdown in cooperation, Wang Chong believes that Yu Hao Ran came back from the United States, saw the situation of the company there is a psychological gap, there are others instigated behind the final state of disillusionment. "Frankly speaking, it is also five years since I met Hao Ran. Before he was not such a person, I still recognized him in many aspects. In fact, the real initiator is the person behind him."

"Unfortunately, rumor has been floating in the world; for every person who makes mistakes, we should have given more opportunities, not to mention a classmate completely lost." Yu Hao Ran said hesitated to lie with a billion valuation of their own can not agree with the education of people More is to be honest, habitual lie to or not. "Think about it, this is my lead the first four projects, and work hard, everything is not difficult."

When asked about "the greatest feeling after this incident," Yu Haoran said that this venture gave himself a great lesson: "I used to have more direct project management disputes. This is really a lack of commercial experience. Before we trust a person Without a rigorous investigation, the next time I myself must learn from the experience and lessons, can be used without doubt, but before employing people to go through careful inspection.

Things have become rampant now, all parties have lost. Informed sources said Yu Hao Ran, Wang Chong, Yan Yue Yue 3 individual contradictions open, so that investor dissatisfaction, investors have even threatened that if the entrepreneurial team a few people really want to make trouble, let us all fail.
