Chapter 149: The Dawn Dawns
Liu Jianni still knows a lot about the industry she has been engaged in for many years, and after Wanli Travel refuted the rumors, no investor jumped out to refute it.
However, they did not help in this matter, and when they received the interview invitation, they all replied uniformly without comment.
Only Xiongchang replied positively, saying that the rumors on the Internet were untrue, and the cooperation with Wanli Travel was as usual.
For this reason, Lin Yi also specially expressed his gratitude to Li Robin, which was regarded as slightly alleviating the embarrassment between the two sides after the last trip to the United States.
However, the attacks on the Internet couldn't stop for a while, and Lin Yi just ordered to carry out his previous instructions.
In fact, this turmoil on the Internet does not have much impact on the company's actual business, because as long as users do not directly feel that the company has a problem, there are only a few people who will care about and see this kind of business news.
If I have to say that there is any major impact, it may be that Zhang Jiaqi, an intern in the legal department, is complaining wildly.
Lin Yi's request greatly increased their workload, because there were too many people to sue.
Strictly speaking, this can be regarded as a personal vendetta of the communiqué, since the last time he had an affair with Gu Caiwei, Lin Yi has been very unhappy with some unscrupulous guys on the Internet.
Although this time and the last time they spoke out may not be the same batch, in Lin Yi's opinion, since they all eat this bowl of rice, it is all the way.
Of course, Liu Taishan is not the only one, and the real money ability of rich people is not only used for verbal wars.
His third axe was coming soon.
In September, Shenzhou announced the completion of Series B financing, while their previous Series A was completed in July, and they received a total of $800 million in three months.
It's certainly not a small amount of money.
It seems that Liu Taishan has realized that he always engages in those off-the-board tricks that can't be put on the table, and he can only scratch his boots, and there is no way to really shake Lin Yi.
What happens on the battlefield has to be solved on the battlefield.
"Shenzhou special car is to see the current taxi market is lively to come in and pick up cheap, to put it mildly, now you can't catch up with the hot ones when you enter the market to eat, what is enough?"
"But is there any way we can counter him?"
Lin Yi was targeted by the surname Liu one after another, although it was not a break in his muscles and bones, but he was still disgusted by this endless little action.
"It's difficult, if according to what you said, it is also the Taishan Group that is hiding behind the scenes to launch a public opinion attack on us, then it is difficult for us to treat others in their own way, because ...... He has nothing to attack about. ”
"Haha!"
Lin Yi understood, of course, what Liu Jianni meant was not that Liu Taishan was blameless, but that the other party had no reputation on the Internet for a long time.
The black material of Taishan Group doesn't need Lin Yi to bother to find it or even make it up, just search on the Internet and you can do it.
But the amazing thing is that they have been unscathed for many years.
If Lin Yi really wants to turn those things over and fry cold rice again, the momentum may not be difficult to create, and it is easy to find people to support him.
But if it's really annoying, a certain titan will show his influence and play a good show, so that hundreds of entrepreneurs can stand on their feet and cheer for themselves, shouting "swear to win the battle of honor and defense".
In fact, the elders are all decent people, and who they speak to on the surface does not necessarily represent what they really think in their hearts, and they can even play some tricks in language.
Borrowing the topic to play, just talking to yourself.
In short, Liu Taishan is a very special person, especially if the finger is pointed at him in public opinion, it may provoke a large number of joint reactions.
"Hey! So there's nothing I can do about him? ”
"Strictly speaking, but you don't have to be presumptuous. You must know that in the entire business world, there are not many people who are qualified to fight against Liu Taishan, considering that your age is already a big achievement. ”
Liu Jianni's words were obviously said in a very flat tone, but Lin Yi always had a feeling of black humor when she heard it.
Well, Lin Yi quickly accepted this reality.
"Then let him be proud for a few days, and hope that our return to him will not wait until the day when he dies."
……
Recently, it wasn't all bad news for Lin Yi, and there was another thing that he had been waiting for for a long time that happened as scheduled.
After the National Day holiday, the group buying duo and Dianping announced the end of the multi-year feud, turned the conflict into a jade silk, and officially merged into one company.
The news was both unexpected and unexpected.
The surprise is that after the merger of these two companies, it can be said that they have a dominant position in the group buying market, which has a profound impact on the industry.
Enough for those analysts to water countless reports.
It is said that after the last round of financing, I thought that the winning ticket was in my hands, and Zhang Xuhao, who was on vacation in Bali, saw the news and flew back to China overnight.
commented that in the previous two rounds, he was the most important investor of Eleme, and he was also the most important ally of Zhang Xuhao to resist the influence of each group.
The team battle hasn't finished yet, and the teammates suddenly gg, who is going to reason with this?
Not surprisingly, anyone who has been tracking and observing the industry for a long time will not be able to notice that this kind of intention has been going on for quite some time.
Zhang Xuhao's surprise at this result should be that the review seems to be willing to let go even though it is not falling behind.
But if you don't hear any rumors, you can only say that his news in the industry is too closed.
Not only every group and Pingping, including the glutinous rice under Xiong Factory, any two of them have had similar negotiations, and it is not surprising that they finally came up with such a permutation.
And even ordinary people who don't know anything about melons outside the industry will feel that this news looks inexplicably familiar.
That's because this isn't the first major merger in the internet industry in 2015.
As early as January, before the Spring Festival, the two major taxi-hailing software were officially merged with Kuaidu, and behind the two sides were the goose factory and the A factory.
Then in April, the five-eight and Ganji, which often run TV commercials, announced a merger.
And then there is each group and the review together, if there is any drama, it is that the two companies also announced the appointment of a co-CEO, which is jointly served by Wang Xing of each group and Boss Zhang of the original review.
Now there is no need for Lin Yi to be a prophet, netizens laughed and said that I have watched this episode.
As long as anyone who remembers more than seven seconds should guess, the term of office of this so-called co-CEO will not exceed a month.
The similarities between the two mergers are not limited to this one, for example, the biggest victim is the bear factory.
After the merger of Dudu and Kuaidu, Lin Yi's Wanli Travel was left alone, and he was given a cold reception for most of the year, and he has not yet come out.
Wanli Travel was the head of the bear factory before.
And the merger of each group and Dianping, the one who sat on the wax was also the bear factory that vowed to increase the O2O position in a big way, and Li Robin released all the bold words that he would add 20 billion.
Now, should this money be invested or not?
Stimulated by this incident, Xiongchang also began to take stock of the chips in his hands, and then prepared to accelerate the long-planned merger plan.
Yes, this year's merger wave isn't over yet.
Lin Yi knew that in the remaining three months, there would be several major mergers, which was the so-called merger year in 2015.
This is determined by the stage of development of the industry, and now those who are engaged in the Internet have found that the speed of plagiarism is too fast, and it is impossible to play any special tricks in the business model.
Therefore, the homogeneity of all players in the industry is too high, and they can only burn money and consume each other, and the most unhappy thing in this situation is the investors who pay for it.
So they slapped the table and stopped playing!
Under the will of the BAT triumvirate, including Lin Yi, who had "singled out", everything happened naturally.
What impact did the merger of each regiment have on Lin Yi?
The dawn he had been waiting for had already seen the light.
