Chapter 9 Brocade Clothes Do Not Travel at Night
Mobike agreed.
This result was expected by Lin Yi, not because he consciously ate this orange bicycle, but because he had more choices than the other party.
If you don't agree, then change to another one.
For the bike-sharing industry, this investment not only represents financial support, voice promotion and traffic import.
Because everyone expects that the hegemon in the field of mobility will not miss the feast of shared bicycles, and even play a leading role in it.
Then if the money is not obtained by themselves, it will definitely be obtained by a competitor, which is something that relatively weak players are not willing to face.
In any case, Mobike accepted his conditions, and Lin Yi had no regrets.
The rest went well, and the two sides soon announced that Wanli would invest $100 million in Mobike to become the largest shareholder of the other party.
This is the largest investment in the history of the bike-sharing industry, making mobike the most high-profile leader in the industry.
In fact, there are many problems with mobike, for example, the price of its early models is too high, and the cost is an order of magnitude higher than that of the small yellow car, which seriously affects the speed of launch.
However, Lin did what he said and did not interfere in these business details, and they themselves would learn war in the war.
They're going to be more and more like each other anyway.
As the winner of the taxi-hailing war that burned tens of billions of dollars, no one knows better than Lin Yi that the result of this war of attrition is "homogenization".
In short, after Lin Yi gave $100 million and ordered the integration of mobike into the Wanli Travel app, he sent the other party away.
……
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night.
made a bet in the bike-sharing industry, and then Lin returned to Lin'an.
At the beginning of September, the G20 summit was hosted here, and it is the most important international conference that the city has hosted in recent years.
Of course, it is also a watershed moment in local housing prices, and the next time real estate agents encounter this kind of major theme that can be hyped for several years in a row, they will have to wait until the Asian Games.
Lin Yi is not here to attend this summit.
At the beginning of this year, he took $2 billion from Factory A, which was the key support for Wanli to survive the most difficult period.
At that time, the province was in the middle of the matchmaking and coordination, and Lin Yike agreed to land a southern headquarters in the future science and technology city.
As for whether the geographical location of Lin'an is considered "southern", Lingnan people may have their own opinions.
However, no matter what it is called, it does not affect the package of conditions such as jobs and taxes that Wanli Travel promises to provide to the local people.
This matter has not just been implemented, otherwise it would seem that Lin Yi is too ignorant.
After Lin Yi negotiated with Factory A, it was arranged even before the money arrived, and this southern headquarters has been in operation for more than half a year, and it is the city with the largest concentration of employees outside the capital.
It's just that the competition between Wanli Travel and Dudu Taxi has reached a critical moment, so it didn't make a big deal about it.
Now that the victory or defeat of the taxi has been divided, the local government will timely raise whether to hold an unveiling ceremony, after all, Wanli Travel is also a star enterprise.
Lin Yi naturally won't refuse, there are still many opportunities to deal with him in the future.
If there is a little selfishness, Lin'an is his hometown after all, and he may use it one day to build a good relationship in the local area.
What made Lin Yi a little crying and laughing was that the other party still lifted him up.
The leader who came to attend the ceremony privately told him that if Wanli Travel could continue to expand its scale in Lin'an, he could consider granting him a piece of land to build his own building.
Lin Yi doesn't have a hobby of yard buildings, not to mention that they don't have a self-built headquarters building in the capital.
Commercial land is not worth much.
However, if a large factory that can provide a large number of jobs is settled, the price of residential land in the surrounding area will immediately be different.
Lin Yi also did not frankly explain that the next plan he envisioned for Wanli Travel was not to attack in all directions, but to reduce food and clothing and transform into profits.
So he just said haha and dealt with it.
The collateral impact of this incident is that the local TV station reported on it, with the headline "Wanli Travel Southern Headquarters Settled in the Future Science and Technology City in the West of the City, and the Founder Personally Attended the Unveiling".
Ms. Yu Xiujuan is very proud of this.
"Hello, come out, Lin Yi is very handsome in this suit today, you can wear more in the future, don't be sloppy every day when you are the boss."
Lin Yi seriously suspected that even if he combed his back in a suit and leather shoes outside every day, he would still be disgusted and sloppy by her when he returned home.
This time, Lin went back to the old house, because there was no advance notice, and it was not a festival, so he didn't ask his relatives to come over to get together.
However, Yu Xiujuan still chattered about the changes in her family at the dinner table.
It may not be worth mentioning compared to Lin Yi's earth-shaking situation in the past few years, but this is what they can feel around them.
"Xiaoqian is still in college, but Xiaohui is out of business now. I heard that some time ago, the company promoted him to sales director, and invited us to a big restaurant for dinner, and toasted me and your father......"
Lin Yi's cousin Cheng Zihui was originally a clever person, and he didn't worry about spending money by selling houses in his previous life, but his foundation was too shallow so he couldn't go up.
With Lin Yi this time, although Cheng Zihui knows his relatives very well and is usually very measured, he is just closer to Lin's father and Lin's mother.
But just the fake identity of "Boss Lin of Wanli Travel" is enough for him to enter a completely different social level.
】
The sales director will not be his end.
Lin Yi did not prohibit his relatives from playing his own banner outside, as long as they were not committing adultery or violating the law and discipline, he didn't mind making it easier for them.
After all, seeing the people around you getting better and better is also the meaning of struggle.
Speaking of cousins, after Lin Yi sold the casual takeaway network in 2013, the house he helped Lin's father and Lin's mother buy has already been delivered, and it has already been renovated.
But Lin's father and Lin mother were reluctant to move over, saying that they were reluctant to live in the old neighborhoods here.
Lin Yi casually planned, since this is the case, they can buy another set in the surrounding places, and when they want to come back to visit the door, they will be there.
In this regard, Ms. Yu Xiujuan gave him a disdainful look: "You burn a lot of money, right?" ”
She began to count: "Also, if you have money, don't just know how to buy a house, it looks like a small family, and you have to pay attention to food and clothing." ”
Lin Yi retorted: "You still say that I, you yourself are not even willing to pour half a plate of leftovers, and you have to bring it out to warm it up the next day." ”
Ms. Yu Xiujuan was not dissatisfied with his rebuttal: "Your father and I eat leftovers at home, and people outside can't see it." ”
"But you're different, you look at who is coming and going now, such big leaders on TV are here, don't let people think you're shabby, make more friends, do you know......"
Lin's father and Lin's mother have never made any high-ranking officials and nobles in their lives, and now they are paradoxically teaching their sons experience.
Lin Yi didn't feel ridiculous, he was eating the meal made by Ms. Yu Xiujuan herself, and at the same time felt something warm flowing in his stomach.
