When Lin Yi chose the road of taxi software, he knew in his previous life that he couldn't play on his own, and he had to find a "father" for himself.

He had three choices, and they were in order.

Now that both Goose Factory and Factory A have rejected him, in fact, there is only one company in the world that is qualified to take on this role, and they just haven't bet on the ride-hailing software yet.

So he didn't have a choice.

With the experience of the first two times, Lin Yi did not go back to Beijing directly and then go to the door to ask for support.

After seeing Emperor Xie Shihuang, he didn't even go home, just said hello to his parents and rushed to Shencheng, which was not far from Lin'an.

This time, he made an appointment with another stranger, and according to the agreed location, he directly found the Times Fortune Building near Changshou Road.

The company's office area is only a few dozen square meters in total, which is much simpler than his office in the capital, and it seems that he is also a budget-conscious master.

It was in this environment that he met Li Yongjin, a middle-aged man with a thin build, who is now the founder and CEO of Dahuangfeng Taxi.

The two just introduced themselves to each other, and without much greeting, they cut to the chase, as the host, Li Yongjin asked:

"I don't know why Mr. Lin is anxious to see me?"

Lin Yi didn't sell him either: "I heard that Mr. Li is considering selling Dahuangfeng to take a taxi, so hurry up and come over to sign up." ”

Li Yongjin actually guessed his intention, because before Lin Yi arrived, he had already talked to Du Du and Kuaidu respectively.

He was just surprised by Lin Yi's youth, and this face looked like he was twenty years old.

Among the founders of several mainstream ride-hailing apps on the market, Li Yongjin is the oldest, and Cheng Wei from Dudu and Chen Weixing from Kuaidu are in the same year, both of whom are 30 years old this year.

As for this one, I heard that he is just a sophomore.

Li Yongjin didn't feel offended by such a young boy who proposed to buy him, and after a little surprise, he let go of this emotion.

"Mr. Lin is very well-informed, we don't say dark words, Da Huangfeng Taxi does intend to sell."

Li Yongjin is inevitably a little embarrassed when he talks about this, and any founder will feel frustrated when he sees his company come to this point.

Lin Yi keenly noticed this, so he took the opportunity to say: "I especially understand Mr. Li's mood now, because just a few months ago, I myself had such an experience. ”

"On the way here, I've been thinking about how to impress Mr. Li and make you agree to cross Dudu and quickly hand over Da Huangfeng to me."

Then I thought, why did it have to be handed over to me? We can continue to make the cause of Rhubarb Peak bigger together! ”

Li Yongjin didn't know what to think, and there was an interested expression on his face:

"How?"

Lin Yi gave his own plan: "Wanli Travel and Dahuangfeng Taxi not only complement each other in business, but also are indispensable talents for us in the team. ”

"I know that Mr. Li was the CFO of Tudou before founding Dahuangfeng, and he once single-handedly handled the listing of Tudou."

"There is no such talent here for the time being, and I retain the position of CFO in order to attract like-minded people like Mr. Li to join."

The CFO is the Chief Financial Officer.

Lin Yi's words are not completely nonsense to win Da Huang Feng, he knows better than anyone how important money is, if it weren't for the acquisition of Da Huang Feng, he wouldn't be able to dig up someone like Li Yongjin.

Of course, the cost to him is not small.

"I have two acquisition plans, one is the acquisition of Dahuangfeng Taxi, and part of the cash plus part of the existing equity of Dahuangfeng will be replaced by the equity of Wanli Travel in a certain proportion."

"The second is that Dahuangfeng Taxi becomes a holding subsidiary of Wanli Travel, and Mr. Li and other shareholders can retain their rights and interests in Dahuangfeng while continuing to operate in Shencheng under an independent brand, but the business in other cities will be merged into Wanli Travel."

Shencheng is the second largest taxi market in the country, and it has a strong benchmarking significance, and Dahuangfeng Taxi's market position in Shencheng is the primary factor for Lin Yi and the other two companies to be willing to buy him.

"Either way, after the transaction is completed, I am looking forward to Mr. Li being able to take on the role of CFO of Wanli Travel."

"Mr. Li, I know that you must have talked to Dudu and Kuaidu, and I believe that the conditions I gave are the most lenient among the three."

Lin Yiken gave such a condition because the market positions of Dudu and Kuaidu seemed to be higher than his own, otherwise it was not enough to impress Li Yongjin.

He is determined to take a taxi to Da Huangfeng.

Li Yongjin heard Lin Yi's sincerity, such a condition is indeed something that the other two can't give, but he has to ask one more question:

"Then what about the existing team of Da Huangfeng Taxi?"

Lin Yi replied: "If it is the first type, the main management team of Da Huang Feng can be absorbed into Wanli Travel with Mr. Li, and then make appropriate arrangements as appropriate." ”

"If it is the second type, then the team of Shencheng can be retained to continue to operate, and other cities will be directly merged into Wanli Travel."

He also emphasized: "I know that Mr. Li also has two partners, and I can guarantee that each of them will have at least one vice president-level position." ”

Li Yongjin's partners are all from tudou.com like him, and Lin Yi doesn't want it that much, but it doesn't matter if he has two more vice presidents.

This guarantee is not as strong as that for Li Yongjin himself, and he can naturally hear it.

Li Yongjin decided to go back and discuss with the other two, and now he has a very important question: "Mr. Lin, even if you buy Dahuangfeng Taxi, what are your plans next?" ”

This was not too explicit, but Lin Yi understood that he was worried about the future of Wanli Travel after acquiring Dahuangfeng Taxi.

The reason why Da Huangfeng came to the point of selling his body is a bit similar to the casual takeaway network a few months ago, the main reason is that he can't raise capital.

The reason for the inability to raise capital is that after the end of the giants, the capital market is no longer optimistic that such a start-up company with no background and no backing can compete with them.

Da Huangfeng's early investors told him that Goose Factory and Factory A were considering a big bet, and the collective judgment of the venture capital industry was:

"This industry is no longer a game for startups and VCs."

If it is said that after the completion of the acquisition, Wanli Travel quickly came to the current point of Dahuangfeng, then no matter how good the conditions Lin Yi gave Li Yongjin for this acquisition, it would be meaningless.

Why didn't he have this concern for Dudu and Kuaidu?

Because behind those two are the goose factory and the A factory!

This is also the reason why Lin Yi had to rush to the two factories before.

Lin Yi naturally thought about this for a long time, but he didn't plan to tell Li Yongjin now, so he just replied:

"I understand Mr. Li's worries, and I also understand the current trend of the industry and the situation of Wanli Travel, and I will see it when the time comes."

Li Yongjin knew that this was a key issue, and Lin Yi would not share more, he said solemnly:

"Mr. Lin, I need to discuss it with my team again."
