Chapter 65: We Are the Same Kind of People

When Li Robin told Lin Yi that he was going to invest heavily in the group buying market and would soon launch his own takeaway brand, he definitely couldn't imagine what Lin Yi did after he went out.

He went to find Wang Xing.

The headquarters of each regiment in the capital is still the same as before, and Lin Yi has come here for the third time, but the situation is very different.

When I came here for the first time, each group was ready to buy casual takeaway networks, but relying on Wang Xing's cheerfulness, Lin Yi got a good price.

The second time I came over, it was before Wanli Travel went online, and Wang Xing, as a friend of Cheng Wei, sent out an invitation to meet on his behalf.

This time, it was purely him who came over to find Wang Xing, if you want to define the identities of the two, they should be Wang Xing's friends.

"Although I have long known that you will not settle down after selling the casual takeaway network, but the momentum you can make in a year is much more than I expected."

Wang Xing's tone was very emotional, but Lin Yi didn't come to him to reminisce about the past.

"Bear Factory is preparing to launch a subsidy war in the group buying and food delivery markets, in an attempt to replicate Wanli's success in the ride-hailing industry."

Lin Yi casually sold Li Robin.

Wang Xing didn't answer immediately, he was a little puzzled by Lin Yi's attitude, so he was still making all kinds of speculations in his heart.

If Lin Yi informed him of the news of the goose factory last time, he could explain the past through the personal relationship between the two, after all, Lin Yi had no obligation to keep the goose factory secret.

And he only has the name of Factory A, and there is no direct competition with Wanli Travel, but the news just now is not the same.

This difference is not that the news of the goose factory's investment review has long been known and has not helped, but this time the news of the bear factory is indeed the first time I have heard of it.

The key is that Lin Yi has no friendship with the goose factory, and if it is counted from the time of the tutu taxi, it is still a hostile relationship, so it is easy to understand that he sells Xiaoma brother.

But Li Robin is his financier, and the first person they want to thank in addition to the team itself must be Li Robin.

What does this mean?

Lin Yi didn't know what Wang Xing was thinking, so he asked himself: "It's been February since Dianping took $400 million from the goose factory, and I guess the next round of each group is coming soon, right?"

Wang Xing quickly weighed it, for the sake of Lin Yi's self-denial, there was no need to hide the news from him, not to mention that he was not capable of obstructing it.

"$300 million, that's pretty much it."

Since Lin Yi founded the casual takeaway network and sold it to each group, each group at this time should have established a leading position in the takeaway market faster than in his previous life, which also had a positive impact on his situation in the group buying market.

In other words, each regiment should be stronger.

"The reviews all took $400 million, and each group only took $300 million?"

Wang Xing understood that Lin Yi had misunderstood: "You must know that Ping Ping exchanged $400 million for 20% of the equity, that is, his post-investment valuation is $2 billion, and the valuation of each group in this round is $4 billion, and the gap between the two is at least double."

"It's not necessary to take extra money, at least for each group." ….

"I'll admit I'm surprised that you were able to come out on top with this subsidy war, but you quickly stopped with BAT's intervention and have proven that this type of competition is not sustainable."

"I think your boss Robin Lee may have been overly optimistic and didn't properly review what happened in the group buying industry before."

"Each group was not the richest at the beginning, and it could even be called poor. When I got $12 million in Series A financing from Redmountain Capital, Tuanbao had already taken two or three hundred million yuan, while Dianping.com had taken $100 million in the latest round at that time."

Lin Yi commented: "They didn't win against you in the first place, because they spent money in the wrong way, not because they lost because they had more money than you."

Direct subsidy to users is the most efficient way to spend money, this truth was told to him by Wang Xing at the beginning.

Lin Yi didn't give it back to him, but he didn't defend the bear factory, but said, "Li Robin is not my boss."

"Oh?"

This sentence was very interesting, and Wang Xing felt that he seemed to have captured Lin Yi's thoughts.

"Then what do you mean by coming here today to tell me the news, or what do you want from me?"

"First of all, I want to state that although I didn't know about the Bear Factory's actions in advance, the Bear Factory's purchase of glutinous rice into the Legion Purchasing Industry is very clear, and each regiment has been prepared for it, so I won't be particularly grateful for your tipping report."

Lin Yi felt that it was more pleasant to get along with Wang Xing that it was always easier to talk to smart people, and you didn't need to say it too explicitly.

This is provided that you have not had any previous conflicts.

For example, Liu Qing, who took the initiative to come to him before, although the other party's attitude was better, it was obvious that Lin Yi did not feel this kind of pleasure.

"I don't expect anything from you, your very existence is meaning to me."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yi asked rhetorically: "You just said that the post-investment valuation of each group in this round is 4 billion US dollars, so there is still a lot of room for financing, why don't you add it when the financing amount is less than the comments?"

Wang Xing has actually explained this question, but since Lin Yi has brought it up again, it means that he does not agree with the previous statement, or does not fully agree with it.

Wang Xing understood.

He suddenly remembered that on the day Lin Yi and Cheng Wei met on his side, Lin Yi proposed to poach his own COO Gan Jiawei, who had the background of Factory A, and those specious words at that time all had answers today.

The $400 million was given by the goose factory, and the $300 million in each group was only co-invested, and if Wang Xing wanted no less than the financing amount of the review, Factory A would never be stingy with an extra $100 million.

"That's right, it's because I don't want Factory A to continue to increase its holdings and form a greater influence on each group, and I also want to dilute his equity by introducing new investors."

"This is a thought I've only shared with you so far."

Wang Xing directly admitted it.

Lin smiled, although each regiment seems to be integrating into Factory A, it has actually maintained its independence, because in the BAT Big Three, it is Factory A that will have a direct conflict with it in the process of each regiment's gradual growth.

Wang Xing realized this from the beginning.

And Factory A is not dark under the lights, Ma Jack has praised Wang Xing on various occasions, and it is estimated that he still has the calculation of letting each regiment charge for himself.

It is precisely because of the attitude of each regiment that Factory A has never given up on entering the legion purchase market directly, so it will have a reputation later.

It is difficult to say whether this disagreement between the two sides was initially due to Wang Xing's deliberate vigilance, or the ill-will of Factory A, perhaps it was mutual cause and effect.

At this moment, the reason why Wang Xing dared to blatantly admit to Lin Yi was that he was sure that Lin Yi would not go to Factory A to report that he had "different aspirations", and second, he confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

"Because we are the same kind of people."

"Most people have never really thought and are willing to do anything to avoid real thinking."

"For them, it is acceptable to habitually take refuge under the wings of giants, to get a predictable return and inner peace, even if they cannot ask for it."

"But that's not the case for us."

"We are challengers, we are eagles, we are the Lion King."

"We are the ones who shuttle through the shadows of giants, unwilling to be a vassal and a branch, squeezing a way out of the cracks, just to grow into a towering tree for ourselves!"
