Chapter 379: Another Month
After Liu Yun returned to the company, the secretary Lin Mi reported something to him.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liang from Ctrip would like to take a moment to meet with you. They seem to be in a hurry. ”
Liu Yun just sat down, hurriedly took a sip of tea, and was slightly stunned when he heard the secretary's report. The last time I talked to him about this was Liu Yueru, and at that time Liu Yun said that it would be delayed for a while.
His goal was simple: to cut off a large piece of meat from Ctrip, and to make them feel the pain, so that he could take the initiative in the negotiations.
When Liu Yun was about to meet with Mr. Liang from Ctrip, the Warcraft "derailment door" incident suddenly broke out, and the company's employees were involved, and even caused a hurtful incident.
Liu Yun spent all his energy on dealing with this crisis and follow-up rescue measures, and the matter of finding a meeting with Ctrip President Liang was thrown out of the clouds.
However, during this time, the expansion rate of Yoyo Vacation Network did not stop, even if Liu Yueru resigned from Yoyo Vacation Network.
Xu Ying, the person in charge of the Shanghai branch, was directly transferred back to the headquarters by Liu Yun to replace Liu Yueru as the general manager of Yoyo Holiday Network because of her outstanding performance.
When she went to the Shanghai branch, she was nominated by Liu Yueru, which also verified her vision. This strong woman has fought a bloody way on Ctrip's turf, and she is mainly anti-customer.
In terms of ability, she is enough, and in terms of resume, the successful experience in the largest metropolis in China is enough to convince the public.
Even if Liu Yun now agreed to meet with that Liang Jianzhang, it would be more than a month later than originally expected.
"Ctrip must be in a hurry, even if he knew that we were in trouble, he would still try his best to contact me, why did it delay until today?"
Lin Mi hesitated for a while, but still answered truthfully: "Mr. Liu, your guess is completely correct, Ctrip is indeed in a hurry." However, this matter was suppressed by Director Zhu, so that I didn't have to report it. ”
Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Lin Mi thought about it for a while, organized the language, and said: "The real meaning comes from Mr. Xu. She thought that now was the time to pursue the victory, and it was far from the point of negotiation, so she told Director Zhu what she meant. She suppressed Ctrip's request. ”
Liu Yun said with a smile: "Now that you report this matter to me, does it mean that Mr. Xu thinks it's time to negotiate." ”
Lin Mi nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, that's what it means." ”
Liu Yun didn't reply immediately, only said: "You go back first, I'll think about it." So he sent the secretary away.
When Lin Mi closed the office door, he quietly glanced at Liu Yun and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
At this time, she felt that this hand of fate was really wonderful, she had just come to work in Youyou, and her classmate and best friend Liu Yueru had resigned from the company, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the world is impermanent.
When Liu Yueru left, she also deliberately talked to Lin Mi and told her not to think about anything and to be Liu Yun's secretary with peace of mind. This unexpected turmoil will not have any impact on her job position.
Liu Yueru just wanted to take a break for a few years and recharge herself. She and Liu Yun are cousins and brothers, they are their own people, and they are the veterans of the company, if they really want to come back, they can come back at any time, so Lin Mi doesn't have to worry.
After the secretary left, Liu Yun immediately called Xu Ying's phone.
"Xiao Xu, I already know about Ctrip. He got straight to the point and said directly.
"Mr. Liu, the reason why I did this is very simple. 1. Let you deal with this turmoil of Warcraft with peace of mind. 2. Let Ctrip bleed more. On the other end of the phone, Xu Ying also replied directly, unequivocally.
Liu Yun picked up his phone, got up from his chair, walked to the window and asked, "Oh? But now let the secretary report this matter to me, do you think Ctrip's blood has been shed enough?"
Xu Ying pondered for a moment and said slowly: "No, the blood hasn't flowed enough." However, I reported this matter to Mr. Liu through Secretary Lin, with only one purpose, to let Ctrip shed more blood. This needs to be achieved at the negotiating table. ”
There was a hint of coldness in her tone.
"Do you have any good advice?"
"I can roughly guess the purpose of the other party, which is nothing more than that they withdraw from the hotel reservation market, and we withdraw from the reservation market. ”
"We're at a loss, and I'm sure I'm not going to agree. ”
"Mr. Liu, I think you can talk to them, but you must open your mouth and give some demands that they can't agree to, and in the mall, I will continue to keep the offensive and let them retreat, so that with a two-pronged approach, their pressure will inevitably be great. ”
Liu Yun suddenly felt that this girl was a rare talent. She was cultivated and promoted by Liu Yueru, and the work ability she shows now really lives up to expectations. He had to sigh silently, his cousin's vision was really unique.
"Xiao Xu, then tell me what kind of request I should make, which will make the other party feel more excessive. ”
Xu Ying grinned and said: "Negotiation is nothing more than asking for a price in the sky, sitting on the ground and bargaining, Mr. Liu should be proficient in this way." ”
Liu Yun was slightly stunned, this girl really dared to say, and then replied: "In four months, how much money have we burned in the ticket booking business market?"
"The reserve funds have burned 80 million, mainly for vouchers and advertising for customer bookings, and now there are 40 million. ”
Liu Yun understands that this fund is the $15 million that he and Ali jointly injected at the beginning.
He glanced at the calendar as he spoke, roughly estimated the time in his heart, and said, "Ctrip, you delay it for a while, I have to deal with the launch of the Yoyo Security Guard recently, and if you want to meet, you can wait until mid-May." ”
It is now the middle of April, and Liu Yun decided to postpone it for another month, after all, the spare funds are enough, and he still has the means to raise funds.
Xu Ying was also slightly stunned, Ctrip is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and if it drags on any longer, the other party may tear his face and fight to the death.
Liu Yun added: "Actually, there are some things that you don't need me to come forward, you can talk about them." Well, the premise of our withdrawal from the booking market is that Ctrip withdraws from the hotel booking market, and we will have to pay us a one-time payment of $100 million as a loss fee. Either agree to this condition, or wait another month. ”
Xu Ying said in surprise: "It is impossible for the other party to agree to this condition." ”
Liu Yun said with a smile: "Of course Ctrip won't agree, you just drag them." The mountain people have their own tricks. ”
After he hung up the phone, he put the Ctrip affair aside.
Now Yoyo has steadily moved towards an ecological empire, while Ctrip, which is just a pure travel website, is completely different.
Their only advantage is that companies listed on the NASDAQ can continuously raise capital through AB shares without losing control.
It's a pity that even so, it is still impossible to break through the ecological blockade chain laid by Liu Yun.
