During this time in Shencheng, Lin Yi did not go to meet Gu Caiwei.

It's not all because he is busy with work, but mainly because Gu Caiwei has begun to gather a certain amount of popularity after the hype of "A Beautiful Girl Once in 5,000 Years", and her career has improved.

After the team and business of the original Da Huang Feng on the Shencheng side were all stabilized, he immediately returned to the capital.

After Lin got off the plane, he went to Xierqi, but he didn't go back to his own company, but the Xiongchang Building at No. 10 Shangdi 10th Street.

As early as when Lin Yi was rejected by the goose factory and the A factory, he knew that if he wanted to stand in the taxi market with Dudu and Kuaidu, he must have a comparable backer, and everyone he met in the process of acquiring Dahuangfeng repeatedly reminded him of this.

If Lin Yi has learned any lesson from the entrepreneurial experience of casual takeaway network, it is a particularly simple truth:

Money is needed to fight a war.

Of course, it is important to have money, but it is also important to take whose money you take, or it is simply two sides of the same coin.

In 2013, there was of course only one answer that could go hand in hand with the goose factory and the A factory, and that was the bear factory in the BAT triumvirate.

Lin Yi met with the person in charge of the LBS division of the bear factory today.

LBS stands for Lo Based Services, which was upgraded from the Bear Factory map last year.

The name change is just a façade, and its actual significance represents that the bear factory is ready to take the map as one of the strategic directions of mobile transformation, so the LBS division is now in a high position within the bear factory.

The other party received him very politely, and was very interested in Lin Yi's cooperation plan for Wanli Travel to access the map data of the bear factory.

In fact, Xiongchang had such cooperation with Dudu taxi before, but after Dudu took the money from the goose factory, he naturally only used the map of the goose factory.

The model is very mature, and under Lin Yi's deliberate efforts, the two talked happily until Lin Yi proposed a different cooperation plan:

"We hope to be able to directly embed Wanlixing's taxi function in the Xiongchang map, that is, when users search for routes from a certain place to a certain place, they can automatically recommend Wanli Travel to call a taxi, and use it directly without switching apps."

As the electronic map service provider with the highest market share at present, this is equivalent to using the Xiongchang map to attract traffic for Wanli Travel, and it is expected to be a huge traffic entrance.

The other party is very interested, and there are many opportunities for cooperation between taxi software and map software, and it should be said that they complement each other and improve each other in terms of data.

Lin Yi's proposal seems to open up a new way of using map software.

However, the person in charge was very cautious and said that this decision was very important, and he could not agree immediately, and had to go back to continue the study and then ask for internal instructions.

At this time, Lin Yi made a timely request: "Can you let me meet Mr. Li Robin and explain my suggestion in person?" ”

At this point, Lin Yi can be regarded as a poor dagger, his original purpose was to find an opportunity to meet Li Robin, and then personally told him that he was going to defect to the bear factory, and the LBS division was just a springboard.

With such a deliberate mind, why not take the line of strategic investment?

Because the war investment has been fooled by Cheng Wei!

Da Huangfeng had actually been in contact with the bear factory for a long time, and when Cheng Weida heard the news, he immediately found the person in charge of the war investment and lobbied:

Instead of investing in the third place in an industry, it is better to directly invest in the first place in Dudu taxi, and he can persuade angel investors to give up some equity to absorb the bear factory.

Of course it's!

The fact is that Dudu Taxi did not let the bear factory in at all, so that the bear factory missed the fleeting opportunity of the taxi industry, and a year later, it was unwilling to spend 600 million US dollars to invest in Uber, which came across the sea.

Lin Yi could imagine that Cheng Wei would definitely not say that he was hypocritical from the beginning, and in the end he was nothing more than a shirk that he could not convince investors.

Wanli Travel has just acquired Dahuangfeng, and its current industry status is somewhat similar to its original status, and Lin Yi doesn't want to follow Li Yongjin's old path.

There is another important reason, Lin Yi reflected that he went to the Goose Factory and Factory A twice, but only saw Liu Chiping and Xie Shihuang, and did not see Brother Xiao Ma and Ma Jack himself.

It's not that those two people are small coffees, and with Lin Yi's current identity, it is not a disadvantage to see Liu Chiping and Xie Shihuang.

But everyone thinks differently, and the same thing can be decided in different hands.

And the bear factory is not the same as the other two major factories, the goose factory has the famous five tiger generals and Liu Chiping, and the eighteen arhats of Majack in factory A are even more widely spread, but who can people think of when they mention the bear factory?

Lee Robin.

And then it was gone.

The top artificial intelligence experts who were once heavily promoted by Xiongchang and the professional managers who returned from Microsoft all parted ways not long after they cooperated.

So much so that many years later, Xiong Factory wanted to regroup, and the candidate who could make a move was actually Li Robin's wife, who had retired for many years, and re-emerged.

Mom-and-pop shops don't have a good reputation in the corporate world.

Of course, the bear factory is not without talents, Lin Yi and Cheng Wei coincidentally chose the CTO from the bear factory, which shows that everyone still recognizes their technical strength.

Some people also say that Xiong Factory is the most low-key among the three major factories, but if Li Robin can really maintain his status in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep a low profile.

The problem is actually just one sentence: there are tens of thousands of people in the bear factory, but only Li Robin is the only one who can make a decision.

For Lin Yi, he didn't care about the Xiong Factory's employment strategy, and he had no intention of teaching Li Robin to do things. It's just that after considering all the above factors, this time I made up my mind to say that I wanted to see Robin Lee in person.

The bear factory was his only option.

The person in charge of the LBS division is also a smart person, and after hearing this request, he looked at Lin Yi with great meaning, as if to say that he had sensed his intentions.

But the other side did not object.

His starting point is not as complicated as Lin Yi's, and it is completely from a business point of view.

Map APP is actually a high-frequency application, but it has always seemed to be only used to guide the way, there is no good monetization channel, and the first market share of Xiongchang Map seems to be of little value.

The company's attention is both an opportunity and a pressure, and he has been thinking about which angle to open the situation, and he only thought about accessing the group buying website to do LBS+020.

Now Lin Yi's proposal to use maps to attract traffic to taxi-hailing software has inspired him, and this kind of in-depth cooperation model that binds each other can greatly enhance the value of the Xiongchang map, which sounds like a good opportunity.

This kind of strategic cooperation will definitely be accompanied by the exchange of equity, with the size of both parties, it is natural that the bear factory will take a stake in Wanli Travel, and now Lin Yi seems to be very willing to accept it, or it is impossible to ask for it.

None of that has anything to do with him.

He was just very conscientious about how to maximize the benefits of the LBS division in such a cooperation, and how to report this to his boss Robin Lee.

"You go back and wait for my news, and I'll contact you anytime if Robin is willing to see you."
