As soon as the joint announcement of the three came out, everyone felt that the subsidy war in full swing was finally about to start to cool down.

After the subsidy ebbed, as they expected, the overall order volume of the three companies declined, indicating that some users have given up on continuing to use ride-hailing apps.

This is not a pity, which shows that before the advent of taxi software, they were not the common group of people who took taxis, and they were not Lin Yi's target customers.

It's just that under the previous crazy subsidy policy, it was "mistakenly" absorbed due to the temptation of "free taxis".

However, thanks to Lin Yi's proposed phased truce plan of first cutting and then canceling, this decline is still acceptable for the time being.

Moreover, on the one hand, the subsidy ebbed, on the other hand, the order volume shrank, and the cash expenditure pressure of the three companies was greatly eased under the effect of the two phases.

According to the previous discussion, they will gradually reduce the taxi subsidy by city and batch by batch until it is completely abolished.

Therefore, Lin Yi planned to take the time to organize a celebration banquet, and at the same time reward the employees who performed well some time ago.

"Senior sister, it is expected that after this wave of subsidies passes, there will be at least a period of relative calm, and we can just practice our internal skills."

"Since we got the investment in the bear factory, our expansion speed has not stopped, although the meritorious people were promoted immediately, but we still need to organize a large-scale collective promotion to boost morale, which can become the company's customization in the future."

"The other thing is that the team is swelling so fast, and there are bound to be unsuitable people mixed in."

"Senior sister, do you remember when we fought with Hungry in the capital, we met those gossip bastards who did it with you and ended up in the hospital, right? That's the after-effect of developing too fast."

"There was no time before, and now we need to try to put the team in order and prepare for the next competition."

The internal management of Wanli Travel has always been Li Moyan's grasp, and after expanding to this scale, Lin Yi can't even guarantee that all the city managers can recognize his face.

The senior sister didn't shirk it, but just asked, "Do you mean that there will be such a subsidy war between us and Dudu and Kuaidu?"

Lin Yi replied, "Not necessarily like this, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop."

As if to confirm his words, Lin Yi's mobile phone rang immediately, and he took the opportunity to light up his senior sister, which was a name they had only been in contact with once:

Liu Qing.

Li Moyan had already remembered that Lin Yi had predicted that he would deal with this woman in the future, but he didn't expect her to come out again after a big battle.

Liu Qing called to make an appointment, and Lin Yi also readily agreed, so Lin Yi and his sister met the managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific and the daughter of Taishan Group again after a few months.

She was no different from before, with a full investment banker posture, and after sitting down, she first said politely:

"Congratulations to the two of you, from the last round of financing of the bear factory to the subsidy war in the first two months, it is dazzling. I didn't expect a noise to come down, but in the end, Wanli Travel became the biggest winner, which is really remarkable."

Although Liu Qing is polite, she is also a little sincere, after all, compared with Dudu and Kuaidu, what she was least optimistic about at the beginning was Wanli Travel.

"Just in time."

Lin Yi didn't proudly show off his many arrangements, and the woman in front of him obviously didn't come to congratulate him.

Sure enough, after Liu Qing finished greetings, he said, "The last time I came here, I exchanged a lot of views with the two of you about the industry, I don't know if you remember?"

"Of course."

"Well, in that case, I'll be straightforward. I believe that after this subsidy war, the two have also found that such a confrontation is actually largely due to the internal friction of the industry, although it has objectively greatly promoted the popularity of ride-hailing software, but it has also caused a lot of waste."

Liu Qing said seductively: "If Wanli Travel, Dutu Taxi and Kuaidu Taxi can turn hostility into friendship, it is for the entire industry

It will be a positive boost."

Since she took the initiative to talk about things this time, Lin Yi didn't talk to her anymore: "Mr. Liu, I think we have a basic consensus, and the industry will definitely consolidate next."

"But there has never been a precedent for a direct merger of three companies, and it is difficult to negotiate to meet everyone's needs."

"So from a practical point of view, it is more feasible for the two companies to merge in advance, just like when we preemptively acquired Da Huangfeng, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for us."

Liu Qing showed a very approving look: "Lin Yi, I'm glad that you can show such an attitude, this will be very timely."

"You may have noticed that on February 13, Uber has stated that it wants to enter the domestic market, which is a completely different rival from Dudu and Kuaidu."

"I can tell you that my colleagues in North America have been in close contact with Kalanick, the founder of Uber, and Goldman Sachs has a lot of money for him."

"If the domestic taxi industry cannot complete the integration as soon as possible, it will have to face external competition in a scattered state, and it will be an extremely difficult war of resistance."

Lin Yi was really surprised, he was not surprised that Uber had a lot to do with Goldman Sachs, but he didn't expect to hear such words from Liu Qing's mouth.

"It's really rare to find a banker like Mr. Liu who has a sense of family and country, and he has received four years of education at P University."

Lin Yi's words sounded perfectly fine, but Liu Qing always felt that the taste was a little weird.

"Passing the award, in short, I want to emphasize that this matter is imminent, I hope you can put aside your prejudices as soon as possible and unite with the outside world, and I am willing to play some positive roles for you to thread the needle."

"Of course, I'm more than happy to have that happen."

Liu Qing's attitude this time was still very different from the last time, but Lin Yi's response was also very different.

Last time, although Wanli Travel had just acquired Dahuangfeng Taxi, it had not had time to digest it, and there was a significant gap between Dudu and Kuaidu, and at that time, what integration could only be a stepping stone for others.

And this time, the scale of Wanli Travel is not false compared to any of the other two, so there is naturally room for negotiation in this matter.

Because there has always been only the big to swallow the small, there is no reason for the first place to be merged by the second or third place.

But it is conceivable that Dudu and Kuaidu are probably not so happy.

Lin Yi and Liu Qing seemed to have a very pleasant conversation, and after chatting, they politely sent her out of the door, but the senior sister who was very familiar with Lin Yi still saw some clues, and asked after coming back:

"Are you really going to rely on Liu Qing to talk about Dudu and Kuaidu?"

"Not at the time, even if I agree with her and will take her advice, it doesn't mean that I have to use her to achieve it."

Lin Yi thought about it and gave such a reason: "I heard that she is very familiar with Cheng Wei."

Li Moyan knew that Lin Yi definitely didn't just deny a person by chasing after the wind and shadows, but no matter what it was, it was enough to explain one thing:

He doesn't trust this Liu Qing.
