Chapter 51: Lin Yi's halftime battle
Although it is approaching the end of the year, it is impossible for Dudu and Kuaidu to rewrite the industry pattern before the year, but Lin Yi is still very busy during this time.
First, he went back to school.
Lin Yi hasn't given up his bachelor's degree yet, otherwise he can only introduce a high school diploma when he goes out in the future, but he hasn't taken a single class this semester.
He briefly discussed with the school and agreed to let him submit an application and be exempted from the exam, and Lin Yi attended an entrepreneurship forum organized by the school as a guest.
Lin Yi originally thought about donating some money to the school for the convenience of the future, but he didn't have much cash in his hand now, and if he made too few shots, it would be a bit out of value.
Moreover, Professor Li Feifei had refused once before, and he didn't want to hand over the money to the school in a daze, and then use it inexplicably.
In short, Lin Yi gave up this idea for the time being, thinking that there was no hurry for such a thing as donations, so it was better to wait for himself to be really developed before pretending to be this force.
The second is the annual meeting of Wanli Travel.
Lin Yi specially took out a budget to hold a grand annual meeting for Wanli Travel, at which he announced several news in high spirits.
First, Wanli Travel has successfully won the first place in the market share of taxi software in the past month.
Second, Wanlixing's growth goal next year is to cover 400 cities across the country, serve 300 million users, and reach 10 million orders per day.
Believe it or not, the employees cheered excitedly, at least on the surface.
Of course, Lin Yi is very calm in his heart, but employees who have worked hard for so long need encouragement and give them hope.
And he is not the kind of leader who relies only on words, in order to show his praise for the team, he prepared a generous year-end bonus for everyone.
Then, Lin Yi went to the annual meeting of the bear factory.
Yes, at his own request, Li Robin agreed to his request, and judging from the arrangement of the seats, the courtesy to him was not low.
Lin Yi visited the bear factory frequently during this time, and the person he was most familiar with besides Li Robin himself was the person in charge of the LBS business department, and this time he also sat beside him.
"There are also you on occasions like the annual meeting, I think you can just get a work card and come to work in the bear factory. Do you know? There's a whisper in the company asking if you're Robin's illegitimate child."
This person's tone was a little sour, of course what illegitimate children were nonsense, but what he envied was that the bear factory recognized Lin Yi as a celebrity in front of Robin recently.
You must know that with their character as a family, the recent support for Wanli Travel has been a "special encounter" beyond the norm, and it can be said that no effort has been spared.
"I do."
Lin didn't feel embarrassed at all, all the manifestations of his intimate relationship with Xiong Factory, including appearing on such an occasion today, were the result of his active pursuit and deliberate results.
For now, it's been relatively successful.
And his presence is a kind of evidence in itself, so Li Robin listed Wanli Travel as the first place in the taxi industry as the performance of the bear factory in his speech, and called it "the most indispensable partner of the bear factory LBS+020 strategy".
No one finds it strange.
"Hey, everyone in the company guessed that they might want to buy your Wanli Travel, did Robin talk to you about it?"
It was the person in charge of the LBS business department who spoke, and the bastard just now was just joking, but this was not a casual remark, at least in the eyes of the bear factory, it was very possible.
For Lin Yi, relying on the bear factory was a last resort choice after the goose factory and the A factory rejected him successively, and of course selling it was never an option.
No matter what Li Robin thinks, he won't change his attitude, but if his relationship with Xiong Chang is well controlled, it shouldn't make the other party have such thoughts.
There's no need to say this to the person in front of you.
"I think you just bought glutinous rice, so you are buying the heart of Wanli Travel for Robin, if that's the case, wouldn't you become my boss?"
Lin Yi
It is said that Xiong Factory has just acquired all the shares of glutinous rice from Chen Yizhou, and completely took this second-tier group buying website under its umbrella.
The interesting part is that based on the so-called "LBS+O2O" strategy of the bear factory, the internal structure of glutinous rice is placed under the LBS business department upgraded from the map of the bear factory.
The taxi industry is also regarded as O2O, and at present, the map of the bear factory is important for the map positioning and diversion of Wanli Travel, so if the two merge, it will really be put into the LBS division.
Not to mention that Lin Yi is a celebrity in front of Li Luobin, this guy is even more.
"Hey, hey!"
The other party smiled when he heard this, as if his mind had been seen through, and he didn't dwell on the topic of acquiring Wanli Travel anymore, but asked:
"You're very talkative in front of Robin, I heard you once suggested making takeout for him?"
"That's right."
There is nothing to hide about this matter, Lin Yiyi said the advice he gave to Li Robin before.
The other party listened thoughtfully, he didn't want to do things according to Lin Yi's suggestion, but judged in his heart whether Li Robin would adopt Lin Yi's suggestion, so as to prepare for the next strategy of the bear factory.
The rules of survival of large companies are very different from entrepreneurship.
There is a common myth among young people called "as long as I am strong in personal ability and good in business, no one needs to stutter".
This level of cognition limits itself to death.
If you are a little more flexible, you will admit that "you are not as good as your boss thinks you are doing a good job" and strive to "manage upwards".
The person in charge pondered in his mind for a while, and then remembered that Lin Yi next to him continued to chat: "Since you came over today, it seems that Robin has promised you to continue to pay?"
The price of the taxi war, from 100 million from Wanli Travel and Xiong Factory at the beginning, to 200 million from Dudu and Goose Factory, to the latest time Kuaidu and Factory A directly called 500 million, of course he knows about the layer by layer.
It's like a fucking auction.
Since Li Robin has admitted that Wanli Travel is a member of the bear factory, he naturally can't stand by in this subsidy war.
No matter what the final development becomes, as long as the other two have not let go, the bear factory will have to stick to the end.
Otherwise, Wanli Travel is of course a chicken and egg fight, but the outside world has generally regarded Wanli Travel as an agent in the bear factory in the taxi market, what will they think of this decision?
The bear factory lost to the AT and admitted defeat and exited?
This is the opinion that Li Robin can't afford no matter how much money he burns.
Seeing Lin Yi's confirmed nod, this made the person in charge of the LBS division very emotional: "500 million, Robin is really willing to pay the capital."
Strictly speaking, only half of it is from the bear factory, and the other half is from Wanli Travel, but the last round of financing of Wanli Travel is mainly from the bear factory, and it cannot be miscalculated inside and out.
In fact, Xiong Factory spent more money to acquire glutinous rice, but after all, he is just a wage earner, and Lin Yi is the founder and major shareholder of Wanli Travel, which is not the same.
Lin Yi didn't say that Li Robin actually hesitated, at first his attitude towards the subsidy war was relatively calm, and he was already worried about the addition of the goose factory, and it was even more obvious after Factory A made a move.
It's not that the bear factory can't afford this amount, but it is likely to continue to increase according to this trend, so how much will it be next time, 1 billion?
And next time?
In any case, Lin Yi, who asked for money from Li Luobin, gave himself another wave of life.
