January 2015 was a buzzing month for the tech industry.

One of the things that has the most to do with Lin Yi is that he spent a lot of energy trying to stop it, but in the end he could only watch it happen, naturally Dudu Taxi and Kuaidu Taxi officially announced their merger.

For Lin Yi, if there is anything that can prove that his appearance has had an impact on this matter, it may be that this time the two parties did not choose to announce the merger on Valentine's Day, but advanced it to late January.

Judging from this time, they should have announced it immediately after negotiating the conditions, and did not pick a date for this merger to make a marketing event.

Lin Yi didn't know what the merger conditions between Dudu and Kuaidu had become, but judging from the fact that this process lasted for at least three weeks, even with the edict of the two Ma bosses, I am afraid that this negotiation will definitely not go smoothly.

As for the conditions he gave to Lu Chuanwei, at most they were just taken out at the negotiation table with Dudu and used as bargaining chips, anyway, Wanli Travel never sat at that table.

Before Lin Yi and Liu Jianni left that day, Lu Chuanwei also sighed to him, "If it was Kuaidu who took a taxi to buy Da Huangfeng, I don't know if the result would have been different."

This sounds particularly like Xiang Yu Wujiang said when he killed himself, "Heaven is going to kill me, it is not a crime of war", which is a forcible salvage.

Lin Yi wanted to say "no", but he still didn't do such a boring thing.

Although this incident happened very suddenly and unexpectedly, causing Lu Chuanwei to become unhappy, Lin Yi had not lost his fighting spirit.

He's still working on it.

Thinking of the sentence "BAT is a god in the sky", the best way Lin Yi could come up with was to go back to Beijing and go to the bear factory to find Li Robin for help.

To be fair, so far, Xiong Chang and Li Robin himself have been very supportive of Wanli Travel, but he did not readily agree this time.

"Lin Yi, although I really want to help you in this matter, I can't meddle in the affairs of Factory A and Goose Factory, what do you want me to do?"

"I want an opportunity to propose a merger plan for Wanli Travel to Kuaidu Taxi to Jack in person, and I promise that it will be better than Dudu."

Robin Lee neither asked him about his merger plan, nor did he question how he guaranteed it, but only said with a look of embarrassment:

"Lin Yi, how can I talk to Jack about this matter in my capacity? I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think. ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"The problem that Wanli Travel is encountering now is really tricky, but I think that almost all the whole year before taking a taxi has been under Wanli Travel, but I haven't fallen behind, is there any other way to solve this matter?"

Lin Yi knew that Li Robin's personality was more tactful, and when he said this, he had actually rejected Lin Yi's request with a clear attitude.

Although it is unfortunate, it is also expected.

Of course, Xiong Factory's support for Wanli Travel and Lin Yi is not unlimited, not to mention that in Li Luobin's opinion, even if he intervenes, nothing will change.

If there was a chance to face Chen Majack, then Lin Yi would be willing to go even if he humiliated himself, but Li Robin obviously didn't think so.

Lin Yixin complained in his heart that Li Robin's personality was too gentle and not open-minded enough.

That is, he was born early, and the timing of the card position in the Internet industry is just right, and if he started a business now, he would have died 800 times.

Anyway, after all, Li Robin was his master and not his subordinate, Lin Yi couldn't force him to do things, and Wanli Travel couldn't come up with any other way to stop it, so the unwanted result still happened.

And that's not all.

There were other big things happening in the industry in January, and to add insult to injury, it was still not good news for Wanli Travel.

Uber, which just showed its big face last month, made the news again, announcing that it would raise $1.6 billion from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. through convertible bonds.

1.6 billion!

Lin Yi couldn't help but complain: "When Liu Qing was still at Goldman Sachs, he came over to fool us, saying that Goldman Sachs was willing to invest $2 billion in the taxi industry to cultivate the market. ”

"It turns out that she didn't say anything, Goldman Sachs really prepared this money, but unfortunately it wasn't for us."

Several partners of Wanli Travel have felt that Lin Yi has been using more and more foul language recently, which may be a reflection of his mental condition.

"Uber raised $1.8 billion in December and another $1.6 billion in January, which means that their cash reserves have increased by $3.4 billion in two months."

"He's not worried about the money, how will he spend it next?"

"There is no better story to tell than to invest in this huge market."

Considering the urgency of this matter, Lin Yi's words could not be called prophecy.

Although Uber is rich, it also has a big stall, in fact, what makes him extremely nervous is that Dudu and Kuaidu's last round of financing are 700 million and 600 million respectively.

Although several months have passed, the three have not fought a big war before, which means that the bulk of this money is now in Cheng Wei's hands, which has obviously exceeded the 800 million US dollars of Wanli Travel.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sleep at night, and recently he has been discussing the next round of financing with Liu Jianni almost every day, desperately imagining the response plan that Wanli Travel should take under every change of situation.

However, Lin Yi is not the only one who is frustrated.

The format of the startup circle is changing too fast, and Lin Yi's friend, Wang Xing, also announced a $700 million Series D financing this month.

It should be good news, but it has to be taken together.

Almost at the same time, Lin Yi's old rival who was an old rival of casual takeaway network, and Zhang Xuhao, who is still tenaciously fighting against each group, announced that Eleme had completed a $350 million Series E financing.

Doesn't that sound like it's only half of each regiment, but isn't that a big advantage?

That's not how the account is calculated, because the opponent of each group is not only Eleme, its main business is group buying.

The amount of financing in the last round between the two sides can be used as a reference, when the financing of each group was 300 million US dollars, and Eleme was only 80 million.

Sure enough, the other one of the two heroes of the group buying, Dianping appeared in the list of Ele.me in this round of financing, and the others are Goose Factory, Dog Factory, Hongshan Capital, etc.

A little understanding of the grievances of the rivers and lakes can be seen at a glance, all of them are the main force of the goose factory system.

In other words, the essence of this round of financing is that the elite of the goose factory department has exhausted its elite and supported the takeaway market to encircle and suppress every group of the A factory system.

Lin Yi didn't have much sympathy for Wang Xing, and the only thing he felt particularly unhappy about was:

Obviously, the goose factory and the A factory have already dealt with each other like this, why can they still reach an agreement on the merger of Dudu and Kuaidu!

It's not scientific!

Could it be that Liu Qianjin's energy is really so unfathomable that the two horse bosses, who are almost incompatible, have to pinch their noses and shake hands and make peace, and personally carry her sedan chair?
