Chapter 43 Industry attention
Ma Yun was busy with business activities, chatted with Lu Yan all afternoon, and left without eating.
The next day, the investment delegation of Penguin Company came over, and Lu Yan's reception was much more attentive.
First of all, there is no shortage of funds for the time being, but when the A round of financing is in the future, it is willing to accept Penguin's funds. If you don't lead the vote, you will talk about it then.
At the same time, I showed them the development of Yixing Taxi, and let these people experience the taxi software on the spot.
Because it is easy to take a taxi, it will just cross the Yangtze River, and it has not yet entered Shenzhen, Yangcheng and other places. The employees of Penguin Company are still in contact with Yixing taxi products for the first time.
But before they came, they tried Didi's client. This comparison is shocking.
If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.
If you compare the easy-to-travel taxi client to a smartphone that is now popular!
The client of Didi is basically still at the level of PHS.
Holding PHS in hand, standing in the wind and rain, changing the left hand to the right hand, the right hand can't get through!
Cheng Wei took the client to Penguin to see, there are too many bugs, and crashes are common!
Carefully ask how this client came out, outsourcing products, this founder doesn't understand technology at all!
The people at Penguin had never used Yixing's products before, and they felt that Didi could accept it.
This will be compared, and I suddenly feel unbearable!
Peng Zhijian, vice president of Penguin Company and managing director of Penguin Industry Win-Win Fund, held his mobile phone, and after completing the payment, he got off an easy-to-go express car.
Said to Yu Shuangpeng, who accompanied him: "It's not bad!"
Yu Shuangpeng grinned and said: "How about it, Mr. Peng, what I said is true! The client of our Yixing taxi is personally developed by our Mr. Lu, and he is a ...... who has led the Shenlong 920 chip and EDA software design!"
This sounds too flattering, but in Yu Shuangpeng's heart, this Lu Yan is definitely the number one bull.
Hardware, the most difficult chip, software, domestic blank EDA software, can be soft and hard, can be civil and martial, absolutely the first person he has seen in his life!
Peng Zhijian smiled and said politely: "You Mr. Lu, it's really not simple! He is not very old, but he has made a lot of careers, and there are really few people in China who can compare with him!"
The group went upstairs and went to sit in the conference room.
Lu Yan also attended, chatting with the penguins. The main content is that Yixing Taxi, it is estimated that the first round of financing will be carried out after the year, and the funds of Penguin are welcome, and the matter of leading the investment can be discussed slowly.
What Peng Zhijian means is that they tend to invest in Yixing, and they can not participate in the management, but the shares must be .......
After chatting for two days, there was no substantial progress, and then the people of Qiandu came again.
In the field of domestic venture capital, the actions of Ahri and Penguin have always been noticed by other institutions.
In just a few days, BAT gathered, and soon attracted GSR Ventures, Sequoia Capital and other venture capital institutions, all of which sent people to contact Yixing.
The news shook the industry, and companies such as Didi, Shake Zhaoche, and Kuaidi were really shocked. Even the public comments, which are based in Shenghai, are also frightened.
Lu Yan came over this time, obviously not well.
What's even worse is the three-way interaction between Yixing Taxi, Meituan, and Daily Toutiao.
Look at the headlines to earn gold coins, exchange gold coins for coupons, and linkage marketing!
But fortunately, Yi Xing has not asked for any investment for the time being, obviously in the area of valuation, and has not yet been negotiated. The founders of those companies breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few days, many VC firms left. Didi's Cheng Wei also returned to Shenghai from Shenzhen in disappointment.
It turned out that after Peng Zhijian and others went back, he felt that Yixing Taxi was more mature in terms of software, publicity, service and even development concepts.
And the largest market share, unless it is to spend a lot of money to grab the market, it is easy to completely kill it, it is very difficult, and it is not worth it.
At the same time, the report is that in the next few years, Internet taxis will be a very important entrepreneurial outlet.
If this market is won, how many billion payment orders per year are too important for the promotion of payment.
......
Penguin and Ahri are domestic Internet giants, one with user social networking as the core and the other as the e-commerce platform.
The former has a heart to do e-commerce, and the latter has not broken the idea of socializing, and both want to invade each other's fields.
At the moment, the penguin is already making payments, but it hasn't been launched yet.
Now that I look at it, this taxi software market must be won!
There is also a group buying business, which is crucial for the promotion of WeChat Pay.
As a result, Penguin sent people over again to discuss the details of the investment in the shares, but there was no mention of payment.
Lu Yan knew their ambitions, but he talked unhurriedly.
At the same time, we will continue to promote Meituan and Yixing in Shenghai.
When he is not busy, he drinks with Yu Shuangpeng and Xu Jiaqing.
After Lao Xu returned to Shenghai, he went to his parents' side, and he was no longer as prodigal as before.
The main thing is that the last time he was beaten in Jinling, it made a psychological shadow for him.
Fortunately, Lu Yan was there that day, if he was caught by someone, he might not have the end!
"Brothers, I might be getting married!"
During the meal, Xu Jiaqing suddenly said this, which stunned Yu Shuangpeng and Lu Yan.
", Lao Xu, don't you have a lot to do with this, right?" Yu Shuangpeng looked surprised.
Xu Jiaqing said: "It's true, when I came back, I was arranged by my parents to kiss several times, and I met a very good girl." The appearance is okay, the work is okay, it's quite a duty, it's the kind of person who can live a peaceful and stable life!"
Yu Shuangpeng said: "I'll go, you little white dragon in the waves, just like this?"
Xu Jiaqing picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said: "I've collected the mountain, I've been wandering for so many years, I've had enough!"
Yu Shuangpeng looked at Xu Jiaqing, then at Lu Yan, and said with the strength of the wine: "You two, it's really! An early prodigal and now to play affectionately!"
Lu Yan said unhappily: "Get out, talk about him, don't mention me! Besides, just this goods, I won't bring it with me after marriage!"
Xu Jiaqing said: "Hey, Brother Yan, you're wrong to say that! A person like me, who has read countless people before marriage, can live a peaceful and stable life after getting married."
Why, we've eaten and seen. I know what is good and bad, no regrets!
It's not like the kind of honest person who was honest before marriage, and he didn't have a few places, but when he saw a beautiful one after marriage, he was greedy!"
Lu Yan drank the beer and said lightly, "What did you eat?"
"Poof!"
Yu Shuangpeng couldn't hold back, and squirted half of his wine in one sip, "Damn, don't take you two to talk like this!"
Lu Yan smiled, "It's not that my mouth is dirty, it's that your heart is not clean! What I said is fine, what else do you eat, why don't you have some oysters and big kidneys?"
