The high profile of traveling in the capital is also a little good for Lin Yi.

That is, the employees who began to float some time ago were forced to realize that Wanli Travel was far from the time when they could unscrupulously shout "Lao Tzu is the first in the world".

Lin Yi naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and repeatedly emphasized that judging from the financing situation and follow-up momentum of Dudu Taxi, it cannot be said that he is eyeing the tiger, it should be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

In fact, from a business point of view, the situation of Wanli Travel is not so crisis.

Li Moyan reported on the situation of the chauffeured car business since it was launched in August:

"Because we have the earliest launch time among the three, and we have increased our investment immediately after the financing is received, our current share in the car market is relatively optimistic."

"Specifically, as of now, our advantage in the private car market may be more significant than that of the taxi market, which can suppress Dudu in northern cities and fast capital in southern cities."

"Of course, after the success of this round of financing, we believe that more funds will be invested, and we will continue to pay close attention to this and adjust operational measures in a timely manner."

Although Lin Yi told the media before that he would not restart the subsidy war, this was also a tacit understanding with Dudu and Kuaidu when the war was suspended.

But everyone has got so much money, if you don't spend it, will it be in the bank to eat interest? A little action is inevitable.

"How's it going over there?"

Li Moyan replied: "According to our market research, Uber's popularity and acceptance in first-tier cities are relatively high, and its market share is also considerable. ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"However, Uber has not continued to sink so far, and in terms of coverage, it is very different from us and Dukuai, and it does not pose a major threat for the time being."

Lin nodded a little, although they are all opponents, but it is also necessary to distinguish between long-term worries and near-term worries.

He turned to the other side again: "We and Dudu have already received this round of financing, so it's impossible for Kuaidu to be indifferent, right?" ”

This question is answered by Jenny Liu, who is responsible for monitoring and regularly reporting on the dynamics of the capital market.

"Kuaidu originally had a C2 round of financing plan with a relatively small amount, but as soon as our $800 million financing results were announced, we immediately changed our plan and sought a large amount of financing of at least $500 million."

"As soon as the $700 million came out this time, they were even more anxious. According to the exact information I got from a friend in a venture capital institution, it is now Factory A that is directly coming forward to negotiate the financing of Kuaidu. ”

She added: "Factory A is very strong, and the intention to make a quick decision is obvious. ”

Kuaidu has gradually lagged behind Wanli Travel and Dudu in the past half a year's cycle, and the efforts of many parties are still fruitless, and it should be said that the financing is not smooth.

Everyone knows that Factory A is the general backstage of Kuaidu, but Factory A jumped directly to the front desk regardless of face, which also reflects their mentality.

This could be bad news for Miles Travel. Because if Factory A comes forward, it will be helpful for Kuaidu's financing in any case.

But Lin Yi had a different opinion, and he felt that it might be time to realize the that he bragged about on Zhang Lei's side.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Kuaidu is the focus of our recent attention, and we must pay close attention to it." ”

Liu Jianni nodded solemnly.

Originally, she was relieved that Kaolin Capital's $800 million was in hand, this was her first battle after joining Wanli Travel, although she experienced a little twists and turns in the United States, but finally got an ideal result.

Whether it is for the company or for Lin Yi, who invited her, Liu Jianni can have an explanation, and she is worthy of the management equity worth 20 million US dollars.

Oh, and now it's more than 20 million.

However, as soon as the $700 million in a taxi came out, her nerves were tensed again, even if Liu Qing's statement that "there are more investors in contact" was regarded as a bluff, this amount itself was not much more than the $800 million of Wanli Travel.

What's more, their lineup of investors is equally luxurious.

Liu Jianni and Liu Qing have known each other for a long time, and they don't have much personal relationship, but after this battle, they are already very jealous of that woman.

Although financing is of course first of all based on the company's endowment, the success of this round of financing will not be Cheng Wei's credit.

In short, she's been under a lot of pressure lately.

……

Something happened during this period of relative business calm.

In the port city to the south, a group of waste youths began to make trouble under the organization of a few roe deer rats, and they made some noise.

Lin Yi, who experienced it for the second time, didn't care too much, because what they had been tracking before finally landed on the ground.

Following Wanli Travel and Kuaidu Taxi, Kuaidu also announced the completion of a Series D financing with an amount of 600 million US dollars, which also swiped a wave of screens.

As the saying goes, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.

Although many people saw Kuaidu's weakness and flaws through this round of financing, they still had to sing war songs with strong spirits and learn from Wanli and Dudu to make a big show.

How so?

Laymen look at the lively insiders, and the people who eat melons just sigh that the taxi industry is really "immeasurable", but Lin Yi and Liu Jianni obviously saw something else.

"Very hasty."

Liu Jianni faithfully fulfilled her duties, "Although in terms of amount, Kuaidu's $600 million in this round is not too different from the other two, and in terms of time, it is only a month between each family." ”

"But from the investor lineup, it is timid, and the $600 million from Kuaidu comes from SoftBank, Tiger Fund and Factory A."

"Factory A was the most important strategic investor in Kuaidu before, and the relationship between the two is needless to say, and if it is a regular co-investment, it is not worth paying special attention to."

"The relationship between SoftBank and Factory A is also well known, although there was an unpleasant scene when Zhifubao was divested before, but the two are still very close, especially in investment strategies, they often work together, and are responsible for capital and business support respectively."

"It is normal for a company that is optimistic about Factory A to recommend SoftBank to get investment from the other party, but Kuaidu's current performance is hardly excellent."

"Tiger Fund is more interesting, of course, it is also a very well-known investment institution, and it seems to be a completely market-oriented investment decision."

"But in fact, in September, Factory A completed its listing on the NASDAQ, because it gave a large discount on the issue price, and the IPO soared by more than 30% on the same day, which made investors very satisfied."

"Among them, it is said that the Tiger Fund has received a big cake in this, which can basically confirm that it is not groundless."

"If this is the case, then it is entirely possible that Tiger Fund's investment is a return or exchange of interests for Factory A."

"In other words, the only investor who has nothing to do with it is actually paid for the face of Factory A."

A smile appeared on Liu Jianni's face, and she gave her conclusion: "It can be said that this round of financing of Kuaidu Taxi is the group building of Factory A's capital. ”

"Four words, entertain yourself."
