Chapter 42 Non-Aggression Pact
Lin Yi talked to Xiongchang about a big matter, but there was no need to procrastinate on other things.
After that day, soon the media reported that Zhang Xuhao, who was hungry, visited the headquarters of Wanli Travel in Beijing, and Lin Yi came forward to receive him, and the two sides conducted friendly consultations and reached a series of cooperation intentions.
It's all bullshit.
What kind of cooperation can Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao have?
The latter went to Beijing mainly to negotiate with Xiongchang on the merger of the takeaway business, and by the way, he went to the middleman Lin Yi to express his gratitude for matchmaking.
Lin Yi also took advantage of it and made a small news, which was completely for someone.
The room for cooperation between the two companies is really small, so that the media can't make it up, so they have to start from the two of them appeared in the "Youth Daily" together, and forcibly introduce them to their deep friendship over the years and mutual strength.
Lin Yi, who wrote the report, wanted to laugh himself.
Not to mention what their relationship was at the beginning, Lin Yi can now seem to get along well with Zhang Xuhao, except for having Factory A as the boss, the main reason is that there is no direct conflict of interest.
Otherwise, Lin Yi believed that both of them would stab each other without hesitation.
In short, this news did not stir up a little wave after it was issued, until the news of Ele.me's merger with Xiongchang Takeaway was officially announced.
The smart person's reaction was fast, and Lin Yi's mobile phone rang immediately.
"Hello?"
"Are you hungry and the bear factory?"
"I can't say the same thing, the main thing is that both sides have the intention to cooperate, and I have only played a small contribution in the middle at best."
"Let's talk."
Lin Yi's pretense of modesty did not cause any misunderstanding among Wang Xing, and directly proposed to meet, and Lin Yi did not refuse.
But this time, it wasn't him who went to see Wang Xing, but asked the guy to come to him himself.
After seeing people, Lin Yi also took Wang Xing to wander around the current headquarters building of Wanli Travel, and after sitting down, he didn't forget to show off:
"When each group bought my casual takeaway network, my first impression of you was that the office was luxurious, much better than when we were in the basement of the school."
"I went to that negotiation with the mentality of breaking the boat, but you didn't even show up and agreed to my asking price of $20 million through the screen."
"But I have to thank you, if it weren't for the start-up capital you gave, there would be no second venture for me, and you wouldn't be sitting here today, it's all fate."
"How about Brother Xing, how do you think the headquarters of Wanli Travel is better than each regiment today?"
He also added intimately: "In fact, in terms of office environment, our headquarters in Lin'an is more luxurious and comfortable, and I will take you to meet you another day." ”

Wang Xing was a little speechless about his pretense, Lin Yi was certainly not such a boring person.
"I'm not here to visit your office, if you want to vent your long-standing frustration with me, please continue."
"You can wait until you're done, and then we'll get down to business."
Alas, that's not interesting.
Since Wang Xing didn't cooperate with his performance, Lin Yi didn't go down to his heart, he leaned back in his chair.
"Okay, let's talk."
"In addition to the merger between Hungry and Xiongchang Takeaway, what other pit did you dig for me, hasn't it been announced yet?"
Lin Yi smiled mysteriously: "It depends on whether you came today with any sincerity." ”
That means no.
Wang Xing made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't feel contempt for Lin Yi because of this.
"I'll admit that the direction of your counterattack was a bit unexpected to me, and my original thought was that you shouldn't take the time and effort to do the thankless task of group buying or takeout."
Of course, Wang Xing's words are well-founded, and Lin Yi's promise to investors to make a profit is not a secret in the circle.
Or rather, it is precisely because of this that Wang Xing generously carried out trial operations in Jianye.
"You have a misunderstanding."
Talking about business, Lin Yi's attitude also became serious, "Do you think that you are doing group buying and takeaway, which is thankless and investors do not recognize." ”
"But is a taxi a good business?"
"You only see that Uber and our Wanli Travel are sweet and sweet in the eyes of capital, and the valuation is higher than the other, but you ignore the huge efforts we have made to make profits."
"It's been a while since every group of taxis was launched in Jianye, and I'm sure you've seen the data yourself."
"If you don't believe in evil and think it's because the scope of the spread is not enough, then you can open a few more cities, and I promise to accompany you to the end."
"But that's not going to be fun."
"To put it bluntly, everyone earns a lot of hard money, and if you think your share is less, it doesn't mean that my job is more profitable."
Wang Xing didn't comment on his comments, but just asked, "Then according to your meaning, how do you want me to deal with it?" ”
Lin Yi replied: "I mean, everyone should not make things difficult for each other, the well water will not interfere with the river water, and everyone will be safe and secure in the future." ”
"There are no boundaries in each group, which sounds very scary to my peers."
"I'll give you a piece of advice for free, not only should every group have a border, any company should have a border, and Wanli Travel is no exception."
"If you have the time to covet our taxi business, you might as well think about how to improve your own one-third of an acre of land, especially the treatment of millions of riders."
Wang Xing has some understanding of Lin Yi's opinion, not only through previous friendships.
Action is the best illustration.
Wanli Travel has been doing subtraction instead of addition after merging and taking a taxi, which is completely two extremes with the four-sided attack of each regiment.
Wang Xing gave his answer: "I promise that the taxi business of each group will only stay in Jianye and will not appear in any other city." ”
This does not mean that he accepts Lin Yi's proposition.
Lin Yi knew that this guy was holding back his badness, and the reason why he still wanted to keep the business that he couldn't make ends meet in Jianye was to keep a seed.
In case one day Wanli Travel overturns like the previous taxi, then he can tear up this agreement at any time and make a quick comeback.
However, Lin Yi still accepted it, and promised not to make trouble for Wang Xing again.
Later, when the other partners asked about the verbal "non-aggression contract", Lin Yi said this:
"Even if we force each group to completely cancel the taxi team, they can still step on the line at any time in the future, and it won't even take much effort."
"But the presence of each regiment in Jianye actually reminds each of us that we may only be one chance away from an existential crisis."
"It's better for us to always remember what happened to the Dutu taxi body, and then instead of praying to the Buddha that it doesn't happen to us, it's about how we can do better."
