Xing Wang
王兴
Xing Wang (王兴) is the founder of Meituan and an active investor in China's tech ecosystem. He founded Meituan, which grew into one of China's largest on-demand service platforms, and has since deployed capital as a personal investor — notably backing Light Year AI (光年之外), a general-purpose LLM startup that drew attention in 2023 alongside other prominent AI ventures . His early entrepreneurial history includes multiple ventures before Meituan, during which he maintained a stable core team — a pattern cited by Gaotu Techedu co-founder Lü Weisheng as a hallmark of founders with "大将风范" (the bearing of a great commander) . Wang's influence extends through informal channels too: ZhenFund's Yusen Dai has quoted his observation that "真正极度渴望成功的人其实并不多，而在这基础上，愿意付出非凡代价去追求的人就更少了" (truly desperate-for-success people are rare; rarer still are those willing to pay an extraordinary price) , and he once assigned his team the book *Leadership Pipeline* . In the venture world, his strategic foresight has been ranked alongside that of Innovation Works' Wang Hua — "42章经" founder Qu Kai once judged that only Wang and Wang Hua qualified as "天才级" (genius-level) in predicting mobile internet trends .

峰瑞资本·Gaotu Techedu Co-founder Lü Weisheng: When Hiring, "Drive" Comes First; Winning Battles Is the Best Team Building | Rong Talk --- Lü Weisheng, co-founder of Gaotu Techedu, shares his management philosophy on talent selection and team building. His core belief: the single most important trait in a candidate is "要性" (drive/ambition) — an intense hunger to achieve and grow. Technical skills can be taught, but raw motivation is what separates those who merely execute from those who transform organizations. On team culture, Lü argues that nothing builds cohesion faster than shared victory. "打胜仗是最好的团建" — winning together creates trust, alignment, and momentum that no offsite retreat or trust fall can replicate. Teams forged in challenging, high-stakes environments develop the resilience and mutual reliance that sustain them through future crises. The conversation, hosted by Rong Talk (榕汇), delves into how this philosophy shaped Gaotu Techedu's evolution through China's fiercely competitive online education landscape — from its early days as a startup to navigating regulatory upheaval and reinvention.
How do you identify the right people when building a startup? How do you lead a team to win?
