Chapter 4: Daddy Loves Me Again

The so-called "China Supply Iron Army", which refers to local suppliers, is the earliest business unit after the establishment of the first B2B e-commerce platform of Factory A.

Tiejun refers to the sales and promotion of the local push team, for a factory to make great achievements, this wave of people is the earliest to have O2O experience, a compliment can be called the Whampoa Military Academy in the operation industry, and later a bunch of COO.

But from another point of view, most of the controversial corporate culture of Factory A on the Internet in later generations, including the so-called drinking table culture and scandals such as sexual harassment in the workplace, are also related to this iron army.

If you haven't seen the way sales are managed, you just need to go to the door of the second-hand housing agency every morning to go around.

Cheng Wei, who took a taxi in Dudu, and his angel investor, Wang Gang, who is also his old superior in Factory A, are all from the China Supply Iron Army, so they all have a strong brand of Factory A.

No matter what he said, Lin Yi faced it with the mentality of "strategically despising the enemy and tactically valuing the enemy".

As for how to compete with Cheng Wei's "Iron Army", Lin Yi actually thought of a very suitable candidate, but it is estimated that he can't be poached at the moment.

Lin Yi let her senior sister be the chief operating officer, and threw Shao Yu's group to all the people she set up to push the team, of course, she was not completely in charge, and the next period of attention was mainly focused on studying the capital market with them.

But at the end of the month, he temporarily left this side and came to Pengcheng, the youngest city in the country, alone.

Lin Yi visited Pengcheng for the first time in his life, and found that this ever-changing city of miracles was not exactly the same as when he came in his previous life.

For example, the Goose Factory's high-tech Binhai Building has not yet been completed.

So he got out of the airport and got into a BYD taxi, and the address he reported was: "Master, go to the Goose Factory Building at 10,000 Shennan Avenue." ”

It wasn't far from Bao'an Airport to Nanshan Science and Technology Park, and he was quickly delivered to his destination, where he met the host he had made an appointment in advance.

Lin Yi shook hands with the other party very respectfully, and greeted: "Mr. Liu, long time no see!" ”

The person he asked was Liu Chiping, the president of the Goose Factory Group and who had a relationship in the capital more than a month ago.

Liu Chiping greeted him politely, and after a few words of greeting, he asked: "At the end of the last meeting, you mentioned that you would continue to start a business, but I didn't expect this second meeting to come so quickly, worthy of being a young man." ”

These words carried the taste of the elders praising the juniors, and Lin Yi disagreed: "Yes, I still remember that Mr. Liu and I regretted that we couldn't cooperate on the project of the casual takeaway network, so this time I came as soon as possible." ”

Liu Chiping showed an interested expression: "So which track are you aiming for this time?" ”

"Taxi software!"

Of course, Lin Yimao recommended himself: "As the saying goes, clothing, food, housing and transportation, travel is one of the most important life needs, the market capacity is large enough, and high frequency enough, it is the most potential entrepreneurial market at present." ”

Liu Chiping pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly spoke: "But you are not the only one who has seen this, the taxi software has been quickly killed into the Red Sea in the past year." ”

"To be honest Lin Yi, I'm very surprised by your choice, and it doesn't seem to be much different from you staying in the food delivery industry."

Lin Yi shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu said that the taxi software has become a red sea, and I agree with this." But what you mean is that the industry has reached the second half, and I have a different opinion. ”

"In my opinion, the game of taxi software has just begun, and if the track is a total of 100 meters, the current players only run 1 meter at best."

Liu Chiping took a good time: "How can you see it? ”

Lin Yi couldn't pretend to be an unpredictable prophet this time, so he had to analyze it one by one:

"First, in the past year, the main competition of taxi software is still concentrated in first-tier cities such as Jingshen Yangpeng, due to the reason of Kuaidu taxi, at most one Lin'an, the country still has a vast economic hinterland and sinking market has not been involved."

"Second, at present, the mainstream taxi-hailing software is still concentrated in the limited small pool of taxis, but the true meaning of the sharing economy should be to revitalize all the stock assets, that is, to involve the majority of private car owners."

"Third, the remaining players of the domestic taxi software that you see now are not all, don't forget that there are foreigners on the other side of the ocean who are eyeing them, and I heard that their trial operation in Shencheng has started cold."

Lin Yi's words are still very informative, and Liu Chiping replied after thinking about it: "Do you think the sinking market will be the main battlefield for taxi software?" Judging from past experience, they seem to be just the last spoils of the victors in the first and second tier cities. ”

"As for taxis or private cars, this is a policy limit, needless to say."

"You noticed that Uber's actions show that it has an international perspective, but it doesn't pose any threat in the short term, and it won't change the pattern of the domestic market."

Liu Chiping replied to his tirade in one breath, Lin Yi of course had the following, but he was stopped by reaching out, and the president of the goose factory looked at him and said:

"It's a pity that Lin Yi, we have already bet on the track of taxi software, and it is the current market share of the No. 1 Dudu taxi, we don't think there is a need to re-bet."

Of course, Lin Yi knew this, and Cheng Wei got the $15 million given by the goose factory in April this year, which was a key step in the development history of Dudu.

The most outrageous thing is that the reason why the money from the goose factory fell on Cheng Wei, who was born in factory A, was because his competitors in the capital at that time rejected the goose factory.

Refused?

Later people will only feel incredible when they look at this story, this is the moment and that time, the "father's love" of the goose factory that future entrepreneurs can't ask for now does not seem so tempting.

The reason for the other party was that it was worried that the shareholding of the goose factory would affect the independence of the company.

But Lin Yi, with the experience of a "prophet", of course, no one knows better than him how important it is to have a good "father" in this war.

That's the difference between heaven and earth, life and death!

So he knew that the goose factory had already taken a taxi, but he still insisted on running this trip, and at this time Lin Yi argued:

"The taxi software has no winner or loser, and it is completely possible to bet long with the financial resources of the goose factory."

"As far as I know, in the battle of thousands of regiments, the goose factory was a joint venture with the American group buying website groupon to set up Gaopeng.com, and now it has been eliminated by the market, but now the goose factory is in contact with the review network."

"Mr. Liu just believes that Dudu can take a taxi and have the last laugh?"

Liu Chiping wondered in his heart, Dianping.com is the only existence in the group buying industry that can compete with each group, in fact, it has not only contacted the goose factory, but also the bear factory.

It's not unusual for someone who knows something about the industry to guess this, but Lin Yi swears so much as if he knows everything about the goose factory.

However, Liu Chiping's face remained unchanged: "The key is not financial resources, Lin Yi, why do you make me believe that we have the need to disperse betting?" ”

"Because Cheng Wei is afraid of the power of Factory A!"

Lin Yi looked at him and said very seriously, "Mr. Liu, you know very well that Cheng Wei and Wang Gang are both from Factory A, and they are inextricably linked with Factory A, and as far as I know, after you found Dudu, their first reaction was to refuse, right?" ”

"They have been in Factory A for too long, and they know very well what kind of behemoth Factory A is, but Factory A has already chosen Lin'an's Kuaidu to take a taxi on this track and is unwilling to accept them."

"Even so, Cheng Wei was still very hesitant in the face of the olive branch you threw out, and in the end, it was Brother Xiao Ma who came forward in person, and they had no other choice so they had to give in."

"Mr. Liu, you know very well that you will definitely meet Factory A in the future, with their attitude, can you guarantee that they will always have their hearts set on the Goose Factory?"

Liu Chiping was really a little surprised this time, he didn't expect Lin Yi to even be able to hear such details, could it be that there was an informant on the side of Dudu Taxi?

However, this elder has also seen the world, and he was not easily moved by Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, you have done your homework very carefully, and you know your competitors very well. However, we will not decide the company's overall strategy and investment direction based on this kind of speculation. ”

"I also want to remind you that as you just said, the goose factory's choice of Dudu taxi was personally decided by Pony after seeing the process."
