Chapter 31: We Can Bet

The LBS business department was really valued, and Lin Yi didn't wait too long to get a reply from the other party, and then got a precious opportunity to meet.

Li Luobin, a member of the Xiongchang family, was born in a family of workers in Taihang Province, and his main experience is similar to that of the first generation of Internet entrepreneurs.

To put it simply, when I was young, I went to the United States to study, and after working for a few years, I saw the opportunity to return to China to start a business, and took advantage of the economic take-off and the dividends of industry development to grow into an industry giant.

His first impression is, of course, his handsome appearance, some people say that he looks like Luo Jialiang, some say that Aaron Kwok, and some say that he looks like Leslie Cheung.

In short, everyone agrees that this is a star face, a proper face in the IT industry.

It's handsome, and it can really be eaten.

It is rumored that Li Luobin's wife has a prominent family background and is a "little princess" who was highly sought after in the New York study abroad circle at that time, but she fell in love with Li Luobin at first sight in Yushu, and the two finally got married.

An interesting coincidence is that Mrs. Li also has the surname Ma.

Li Robin has always been elegant and easy-going, and he doesn't put on a show, but he didn't come up and cared about the strategic cooperation between the LBS Division and Wanli Travel, but asked:

"I heard that your last business was a food delivery website, and you should have a lot of experience in the O2O field, what do you think of the food delivery industry?"

This sounds familiar.

Lin Yi recalled it, and already remembered that when he met Liu Chiping from the goose factory for the first time, the other party also asked similar questions.

At the beginning, he could know everything about Liu Chiping, but now that he has a request for help, Lin Yi has no selfishness, and has carefully shared the insights he brought from later generations, and sure enough, Li Robin then asked:

"You should also have more in-depth exchanges with each group, how do you think the group buying industry will develop?"

Li Robin is very thoughtful in terms of etiquette, he can be called a gentleman, and he is very particular about avoiding the fact that he was casually acquired by each group, and he did not reveal Lin Yi's scars.

He wasn't asking Lin Yi for advice, but it wasn't purely a discussion either, because Xiongchang had already taken a controlling stake in Nuomi.com from Renren's Chen Yizhou in August this year.

Glutinous rice is now the second echelon of group buying websites, and it is an order of magnitude worse than each group and reviews.

He hasn't figured it out yet.

And the bear factory is now only holding glutinous rice, and is not wholly owned, if you want to invest a lot of money, Chen Yizhou, who has braked on the downhill road, will definitely not have the strength to follow up, so if you really want to invest, you must first solve the equity problem.

The bear factory is left behind in this kind of foresight.

Lin Yi was not afraid to tell him: "The scale of the group buying industry is far more than that, and the combination with takeaway is also the general trend." ”

"Each group has taken the lead in acquiring my casual takeaway network, and if Xiongchang wants to adhere to the O2O strategy, it must launch a takeaway business as soon as possible."

Lin Yi didn't want to make Wang Xing and Zhang Xuhao unhappy, he finally met Li Luobin, and he didn't want to waste time discussing other people's affairs.

So he immediately changed the topic to his own channel: "I think the LBS+O2O of Xiongchang is a very far-sighted strategic idea, and the Xiongchang map will definitely become an important entrance to the mobile Internet." ”

"The meeting point between Wanli Travel and the Xiongchang map in terms of taxis is so ingenious, it can be called a match made in heaven."

Of course, Lin Yi knew that Xiong Factory's LBS+O2O strategy was a mess, and in the end, he was just talking to himself.

Li Robin also knew Lin Yi's intention today, and he hesitated and said: "Actually, we have considered the taxi market, but we feel that the current situation is still unclear, so we don't want to decide too early." ”

No wonder the bear factory is always half a beat slow, and when the situation is clear, the interests have long been divided by the winners, enough to catch up or something?

With the status of the bear factory, he himself is part of the situation.

Lin Yi complained in his heart, but he still said: "The taxi software market is now a critical period for reshuffling, and Dudu and Kuaidu have the support of Goose Factory and Factory A respectively, and have established a leading position in the market." ”

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that if the bear factory does not make a move now, then it will lose the opportunity to make a move in this market forever."

The two names that Lin Yi deliberately mentioned still had some effect, and Li Robin really cared about the goose factory and the A factory, you must know that not long ago, the three families of BAT were still headed by B.

He groaned for a moment and asked, "How much do you want?" ”

Lin Yi raised his index finger: "100 million dollars." ”

Li Robin was surprised, although the bear factory was very generous, but this amount was by no means a small amount.

"When we talked to Da Huangfeng about taxis before, their expectations were not so high, to be precise, there was an order of magnitude difference."

"It's only been a few days since you acquired Dahuangfeng Taxi, and the scale of your business is limited compared to its then, how can you support such a valuation?"

"In other words, it only cost you a few bucks to buy Da Huangfeng for a taxi, if that's the case, I might as well buy it and do it myself."

Lin Yi told him very calmly: "First of all, Da Huangfeng taking a taxi is already a thing of the past, so we don't have to dwell on the lost opportunity." ”

"Secondly, Wanli Travel and Da Huang Feng are not the same thing at all, Da Huang Feng's idea of taking a taxi is a catch-up type, and what he is looking for you is the last round of financing of Dudu and Kuaidu."

"But my thinking is transcendental, what I'm looking for you is their next round of financing!"

"The last round of financing for Dudu Taxi and Kuaidu Taxi was tens of millions, but as far as I know, the next round of financing they are preparing is going for $100 million, and if you want to compete with them, you can't be less than that."

"What can Xiongchang get by investing in Dahuangfeng Taxi, following Dudu and Kuaidu, the third place in the market?"

"I know that's not what you want, because it's just going to make Xiongchang lose face."

"And to invest in Wanli Travel, what we want to do is to surpass Dudu and Kuaidu, and truly become the first place in the online car-hailing market!"

This is why Lin Yi came to the bear factory after acquiring Da Huangfeng, otherwise he would not be talking about it, but a fool's dream.

Li Robin was not told by him: "What guarantee do you take?" ”

Lin Yi replied: "So I need to get this money before them, if there is a time difference of one to two months, plus the support and drainage of the bear factory, I am confident that it can be achieved." ”

"And it's actually not that difficult, Wanli Travel is the second place in Beijing, the first place in Shencheng, and the third place in Yangcheng, and the current market in other cities is very limited compared to these key areas."

"Dudu and Kuaidu seem to have an advantage, but in fact, they have only been established for more than a year, what moat can they have?"

Li Robin was a little moved when he heard this, if he could really vote for the first place in the taxi market, it would be very tempting for him, and it would also be an important milestone in the mobile transformation of the bear factory.

But 100 million US dollars is not a small amount, and it is not certain whether what Lin Yi said can be fulfilled, so he hesitated for a while.

Li Robin's character is called step by step when it sounds good, and indecisive when it is ugly.

Lin Yi immediately found out about his entanglement, and wanted to complain: 100 million US dollars is really not much, and you will have to spend 600 million yuan to invest in Uber next year, and you won't be able to get so many shares!

He restrained this impulse, but he did not intend to give up on it, if he allowed Robin Li to go back and think about it for himself, the time for this matter to come to an end would be measured in months.

Lin Yi had to make a quick decision, so he threw out an offer again:

"We can make a bet."
