Since Lin Yi invested $100 million in mobike, he has not worried about the other party's affairs except for letting Liu Jianni send a financial director.

But in October, they came to the door on their own.

This time it was not the last time, Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng did not show up, which does not mean that they are contemptuous, because it is the chairman of the company who came.

Li Bing, who has a lot of experience in the circle, although he is not a particularly successful group, but he is not a general person who has no such person, and his aura is still very sufficient.

"Lin Yi, right, I heard that the two of them are full of praise for you, so I came to visit this time, mainly to get to know you."

"Mr. Li is polite, since we have invested in mobike, it is a family."

Lin Yi chatted with Li Bing for a while, and the other party expressed his intention in a hurry.

"After mobike got your $100 million, the original plan was to solve the high cost of bicycles, and in October we were ready to launch a cheap light riding version to catch up with the number of small yellow bikes."

"But not long ago, Xiaohuangche just announced that it had completed its Series C financing, with a total amount of $130 million, exceeding our previous $100 million."

"Actually, it was obtained in two financings, but there was only 14 days apart, so there is no problem with counting it as the same round, but the direct purpose is undoubtedly to press the mobike."

Lin Yi knew about this matter, although he did not interfere in the other party's business, but since Wanli Travel had already invested, Liu Jianni would regularly track the industry situation and report to him.

Looking at this financing alone is actually nothing, the magic is that this is the fifth financing of Xiaohuangche since 2016.

And just before the C round of financing, which was completed in two tranches, the B round of the little yellow car was only a month apart.

What is the concept of financing five times a year?

Lin Yi, who experienced the taxi battle, felt crazy!

Therefore, Dai Wei's attitude towards Lin Yi is understandable, he may feel that he is going to be windy and rainy in the capital market, and he is terrible.

The mobike invested by Wanli Travel has also completed three financings this year, and it is clear that their appetite has not been satisfied.

"And what do you mean?"

"Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng's initial idea is to do another C+ round of financing, with a target amount of more than 50 million US dollars, which can beat the small yellow car to retain the honor of being the first in the industry."

Lin Yi thought that he was here to consult his own opinion, and he clearly asked for money.

But Lin Yi really doesn't care, 100 million US dollars are given, and it doesn't make much difference if you give more or less than tens of millions.

At least until the rapid wave of bike-sharing came to an abrupt end, his investment was still increasing on paper.

"No problem, if you want Wanli Travel to lead the investment or even the whole package, we can pick it up; If you want to find other institutions to lead the investment, then we will follow the investment on a proportional basis. ”

Lin Yi now sounds like a big money guy who is not bad for money, and this amount of money really doesn't have to be too careful.

Give money simply without ink, and it doesn't matter if you talk about it.

The perfect financier.

Li Bing is not a verbose person, he did not make any decisions on the spot, and he was not too involved in the operation of mobike.

】

"Thank you Lin Yi, I will bring your support to Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng, I believe that your attitude will bring them great encouragement, and my trip today can be regarded as a mission that has not been in vain."

After talking about business, he didn't turn around and left, and the two of them began to talk about gossip.

"This round of the little yellow car was led by the goose factory, and I heard that they didn't talk well, and the goose factory is already considering other options."

"But the attitude of the little yellow car suddenly changed, and he was very concerned about the goose factory, so he kept this important investment."

The entry of the goose factory is also expected, and there is a guy familiar to Lin Yi in the investment lineup this time, and Wang Xing of each group is involved in his personal capacity.

Lin Yi smiled, no one knew better than him why Dai Wei suddenly greeted the goose factory with a smile.

Obviously, he felt that he was more difficult to serve.

"Although the goose factory is a good boss with a good reputation, he must also be able to bear the matter himself, and the little yellow car may disappoint him."

It's normal for Lin to not see the little yellow car, because he is now an investor in mobike, but Li Bing always feels that he seems to have something else.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

"Have you seen their people?"

Lin Yi has nothing to hide: "Before I negotiated with mobike, it was Xiao Huangche and his investors who took the initiative to find me. ”

"The conditions I gave are the same as yours, but it's a pity that Dai Wei of the little yellow car is from a young master's background, and he thinks I'm too harsh, so he rejected me."

Li Bing smiled after hearing this: "Dai Wei is my junior brother, although I have never dealt with him, I have always thought that he is a very good young man. ”

"In this way, we still have to thank him, otherwise Mobike and we may miss this fate with Wanli Travel."

Lin Yi has a limited understanding of the person in front of him, and he just knew that he also graduated from P University.

"Dai Wei's angel investor is the senior brother of P University, and the first step of Xiao Huang Che to make a fortune was also to cause a sensation through the campus marketing of P University and successfully get out of the circle."

"It seems that even if you didn't have a mobike, you would have had the opportunity to invest in a small yellow car."

Of course, this is said casually, the circle of P is very wide, and it is impossible for everyone to play together, and Li Robin of the Bear Factory is still P big.

The smaller the circle, the easier it is to unite.

Li Bing said with a smile: "If that's the case, I may not have the opportunity to invest, and to be honest, the sharing of bicycles is also unintentional." ”

"At the beginning, Hu Weiwei suggested to me that the concept of shared bicycles could be done, but I didn't think there was much potential, so I invested some money in her and didn't care."

"To be honest, the development of shared bicycles is far beyond my expectations, mainly because capital is too hungry and has hyped this subject to a position that does not belong to it."

"It's hard to ride a mobike now, and it's involuntary to go with the flow."

"Eh, I want to state that this is just my personal private communication, and it does not represent the thoughts of Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng, nor does it represent mobike."

Of course, Lin Yi said that he didn't mind, but he was actually a little strange in his heart.

Li Bing is an old Jianghu, it is not strange for him to have such a judgment, but as the chairman of mobike, it is a bit weird to come and tell Lin Yi about this.

What's more, the two didn't have any friendship before, and this is the first time they've met.

He's certainly not the kind of person who talks deeply.

"Lin Yi, I can see that you don't spend too much energy on mobikes not because you respect the management rights of the two of them, but because you are not optimistic about the development of shared bicycles."

"Of course, you are different from me, not to invest a little money to test the water, I can understand the consideration of Wanli Travel in the layout of the industry."

"But I think in the areas that you are really optimistic about and interested in, maybe it is us, and the two of us can work together deeply."

As soon as Lin heard this, he understood, and Li Bing finally tried to see the dagger.

"I heard you want to build a car?"
