Lin Yi has had no contact with Wang Xing recently, because he is busy with the subsidy war in front of him.

Of course, Wang Xing is not idle, every group is now holding both group buying and takeaway, and the two-front battle is still very happy.

There is another reason, that is, after all, each group is a member of the A factory department, and Wanli Travel is fighting with Kuaidu, but Lin Yi feels that Wang Xing is not like the kind of person who will have scruples.

Brother Xiao Ma is not the kind of person who has no purpose, he suddenly mentioned Wang Xing, even if it is an unintentional question, there must be a reason.

Lin Yi didn't take much effort to think of his intention to come to the capital this time.

"Group buying websites are now a typical two-strong pattern, each group and reviews are far ahead, and the accumulation of reviews is more profound in terms of qualifications, which has been established long before the rise of the concept of O2O, and the user reputation is also good."

"But from an operational point of view, each regiment grows faster and the team is more combative, so that it can come up and get the first position."

"Personally, I actually appreciate the development path of Dianping, which is the kind of entrepreneurial idea of a more old-school or traditional Internet company."

"Polishing the product."

"Of course, this can't be wrong, but I think today's market environment may not give entrepreneurs as much time and opportunity as possible."

"For example, in our taxi software industry, the one who thought that polishing the product could win in the end might be Shake Taxi, right?"

Shake Dache is the first batch of pioneers of taxi software, which was established earlier than Cheng Wei's Dudu, and was once the market leader.

But now, even if it has not disappeared completely, its presence in the market is almost negligible, especially after this subsidy war, except for the top three players with their own backers, all other players have been cleared out.

Brother Xiao Ma knew about Shake Taxi, because it was this company that rejected the investment of the goose factory at the beginning, so they went to Dudu and Cheng Wei.

He understood that Lin Yi was complaining that the comment was too slow: "So you are optimistic about each group?"

Lin Yi did not admit it: "What I said was that before, since the rise of the 020 concept in 2010, the large-scale entry of capital has transformed the industry, including reviews, which have also been caught in this wave."

"Judging from the current market position, there is actually still a chance for reviews, so I don't think it's too late for the goose factory to enter the game."

Brother Xiao Ma smiled slightly, although this is not a secret, Lin Yi is really keen, and immediately noticed that he came to talk about the investment of Dianping this time.

Although Liu Chiping did not tell him that Lin Yi had talked about reviews when he came to the door to invest in the goose factory, it was not surprising.

Because the review has also been in contact with the bear factory for a long time before, and each group will definitely pay close attention to the trend of the review, if the relationship between Lin Yi and Wang Xing is really so good, then it is possible that they have analyzed it between them.

Brother Xiao Ma is completely secretive, and there are not many people in the industry who need to be scrupulous at his level.

"Goose Factory has just invested $400 million in exchange for a 20% stake in Dianping, and this news will be announced in the near future."

After revealing a big news to Lin Yi in advance, Brother Xiao Ma asked again, "You just said that each group and the comments, it seems that you haven't commented on the glutinous rice that the bear factory is preparing to start from the stove?"

Of course, Lin Yi knew what happened to Nuomi, but Li Robin was now half of his boss after all, even if he was sure that Brother Xiao Ma would not do anything to inform, he would not say anything that should not be said behind his back.

"The gap between glutinous rice and the top two is still too big at present, but how far it can develop in the future depends on the determination of Xiong Factory, and of course, it also depends on the right time, place and people."

Brother Xiao Ma found out about Lin Yi's defense, so he didn't ask again, after all, the relationship between the two was not like Lin Yi and Li Robin.

The two skipped this topic, and Lin Yi accidentally found that Brother Xiao Ma seemed to be inconvenient in his movements, so he asked casually.

may think that this is not a secret, and Xiao Ma also said bluntly: "My lumbar spine has not been very good, and I have been treated once before. Good lately

If there is a tendency to relapse, there may be another operation."

When he mentioned this, he also implied that he came to see Lin Yi with his illness, expressing that he attached great importance to the taxi industry.

But Lin Yi thought of another thing, thinking of Xiao Ma just now that Liu Chiping had not returned from abroad, and he recalled a major event in the goose factory during this time.

"Didn't Liu always go to the United States?"

This question was inexplicable, and Brother Xiao Ma also seemed very surprised.

"Hmm...... This opportunity is very important for the goose factory and may not be available again for many years to come. Although Brother Pony can't rush there due to injury, no matter how much attention is paid to it."

This is even more strange, it seems to be a bit of a "teaching little pony" to do things.

This matter actually has nothing to do with Lin Yi.

There has always been a rumor that in order to enter the international market, Goose Factory had negotiated the acquisition of hatsApp.

Because of Xiao Ma's back injury, he was unable to go to the scene to negotiate in person, which led to the amputation of Zuckerberg's Febook.

hatsApp is now a mobile messaging startup with a small number of employees but 500 million international users, which is worth a lot of money, and there are almost only two companies with the strength and willingness to acquire.

In the information society, social software is a very special infrastructure, which is a kind of land beyond reality, a more abstract but objective boundary.

After the goose factory missed the hatsApp, it was unfavorable for hat to go to sea, and the internationalization strategy has always been tepid, which many people deeply regret.

Lin Yi is also one of them.

So even though the two sides were friends and foes at this time, and although he shouldn't have known about it, he still took the liberty of making a few suggestions.

Lin Yi comforted himself in his heart and said:

Even if the goose factory can really win hatsApp, it is impossible to increase its strength in a short period of time, but it will have a huge cash expenditure, which will affect the support for Dudu Taxi.

Brother Xiao Ma was very stylish, he didn't blame him for his abruptness, and he didn't delve into what he knew, but he gave such an answer:

"The goose factory treats it as the most important thing to do, and sending Martin in the event that I can't make it already speaks for itself."

"But the acquisition of hatsApp still failed, and the other party regretted that it had to terminate the negotiations with the goose factory due to force majeure."

Brother Xiao Ma didn't explain much, so Lin Yi didn't know what the social giant was thinking.

Force majeure.

Just such a short message made him instantly understand a previously misunderstood question:

The goose factory has never missed hatsApp, and the so-called Xiao Ma Ge's absence is even more nonsense, because this opportunity has never belonged to the goose factory.

This world seems to be high and unobstructed, but in fact, there are invisible walls everywhere, separating the species called humans piece by piece.

Although in Lin Yi's eyes at this moment, BAT is already an unattainable behemoth, a titan giant who covers the sky with one hand.

But on the other side of the sea, the gate on the top of the hill was never completely open to them.

After saying goodbye and going out, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky at that time, and the black and oppressive clouds shrouded the earth, as if it was a wall of sighs that had not been illuminated by sunlight for tens of thousands of years in the deepest part of the underworld.

That's the line between gods and mortals.
