What Lin Yi didn't expect was that Softbank's $5 billion had not been covered by others before it was hot in his hands.

As his own younger brother's mobike, the two main operators, Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng, came together.

This is rare.

Since Wanli Travel gave Mobike 100 million US dollars, and later increased its holdings continuously, and held a veto, it is undoubtedly the most important shareholder of the other party.

However, Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng may have been precautionary against traveling thousands of miles, so they carefully kept their distance from each other.

The obligations that should be fulfilled never include the lake, and the etiquette that should be there is absolutely thoughtful, but it is not yet intimate.

Hu Weiwei also specially explained: "Chairman Li did not come in person because he had other things to delay, and he was by no means neglected. ”

Lin Yi knows what Li Bing is busy with, and after announcing an eye-catching electric supercar at the end of last year and swiping several track records for marketing, his future is finally about to launch his first production car.

This reminded Lin Yi that the car-building team he had high hopes for had not yet handed over the job.

But having said that, although Li Bing is still the chairman of mobike, with the increase in the equity ratio of Wanli Travel, his role has actually changed.

It's purely that Lin Yi doesn't have any idea about the chairman position who doesn't sit for long, otherwise he should have been replaced a long time ago.

Getting back to the point, after greeting Lin at the beginning, Lin asked about their intentions at the beginning, and the two of them immediately began to complain about their bitterness when they saw the opportunity.

"You don't know, mobike is under a lot of pressure right now."

"Although we completed the D round and D+ round of financing in the first two months of the year, which seems to have the upper hand, Xiaohuangche raised a one-time financing of 450 million US dollars in March, which once again set a new industry record."

"In terms of business, the two sides have been very tight on the number of launches, but you know that the cost of mobike was relatively high at the beginning, and then it was reduced with our efforts, but we are not advantageous over this."

"Again, I heard that Xiaohuangche is still preparing for the D+ round of financing, so the gap in funds will be further widened, so the situation of mobike is not optimistic."

Of course, Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng have exaggerated, but there is basically no difference in the facts.

Why is the little yellow car so rich?

Because after Dai Wei rejected Lin Yi, the gold owner father he found for himself was a goose factory!

No one knows the banknote ability of the goose factory better than Lin Yi, otherwise it would not have been suppressed by Cheng Wei, and in the end, Liu Qing could not be turned over without the support of Brother Xiaoma.

So the two mobikers immediately came to meet after hearing that Wanli Travel got 5 billion US dollars, and complained, and the purpose was unknown.

Lin Yi smiled and asked, "You guys aren't as miserable as you say, are you?" ”

"Some time ago, I didn't announce the landing in Singapore with great fanfare, and my investors were asking me why you are still holding back when mobikes have entered overseas."

Wang Xiaofeng has always been quick to talk and looks very straightforward.

"I won't tell you Lin Yi, the so-called entry into the overseas market of shared bicycles is nothing more than a gimmick, and whether it can make a profit is not at all a matter of words."

"On the one hand, Xiaohuangche was the first to release its overseas strategy at the end of last year, regardless of whether it made money or not, at least it swiped enough news pages, so of course we have to not be left behind."

"On the other hand, now a bunch of media are commenting on shared bicycles as one of the new four major inventions, and they have put us there, and we can't say anything if we don't do something."

The so-called new four major inventions refer to high-speed rail, payment codes, bicycle sharing and online shopping, which were very popular concepts on the Internet that year.

But it's only been popular for a year.

Wang Xiaofeng's words are a bit cheap and obedient, when he relied on this name to promote or pretend to be forced, he didn't see him crying out, maybe he didn't pay less for public relations.

Lin Yi didn't bother to talk to him about this, and asked dryly, "Let's be straight, how much do you want?" ”

Not to mention, being someone else's gold father, it feels quite fresh.

The other two were also prepared, Hu Weiwei quickly took out a financing plan and handed it over, briefly explaining:

"We have a preliminary plan to target $600 million to $800 million in the next round of funding."

Ooh.

Lin Yi didn't go through their plans carefully, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little startled when he heard this amount.

Wanli Travel raised $5 billion, how far has it come. Where is mobike, and how much money is going to cost?

That's not how money works.

Hu Weiwei observed the words and found that Lin Yi seemed to have some opinions, so he added:

"As long as Wanli Travel bears a part, it will continue to lead the investment to show its confidence and support for mobike, and we can make up the rest through other investors."

Lin Yi thought for a while and replied: "It's okay to pay for it, but Wanli Travel has hardly interfered in your business for so long." ”

"Now that you have acknowledged that our support is crucial to mobikes, I think we should also agree on business issues."

If you don't take advantage of this time to make a request, what are you waiting for?

Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng glanced at each other, and what they were worried about still happened.

Because they have always felt that Wanli Travel is also a giant in the field of travel after all, and there will definitely be direct ambitions for shared bicycles in addition to investment, so they have to take precautions.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and this time it is estimated that they will not be able to hide.

Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng were also mentally prepared, and really began to report to Lin Yi on the business status of mobike, and listened to his "instructions".

Of course, Lin Yi didn't say it casually.

He got involved in the bike-sharing industry, knowing that he couldn't stop this noisy farce, so he could only do a small bit.

At this time, he emphasized to Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng: "I know that mobike's funds are tight, I can finance it, and I can think of other ways, but the user's deposit cannot be moved." ”

This is not the first time that Lin Yi has said this request, and the financial director he sent to mobike has been following the other party's impulse.

No matter what Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng thought in their hearts, they all nodded yes at the moment.

Lin Yi originally only planned to talk about this one thing, but he carefully looked at the expenditure of mobikes and really found some other problems.

"The company's marketing expenses are very high, although it is a normal phenomenon in the promotion stage, but what do I think Hu Weiwei has spent a lot on you alone?"

It's a little embarrassing to ask, as if he is accusing the other party of harming the public and private interests.

Wang Xiaofeng hurriedly helped explain: "So, recently, Xiaohuangche invited a popular idol, a contemporary spokesperson named Lu Han, and the effect of soliciting customers among female users is good." ”

"So we thought about emulating that Wei Wei, as the founder of the company, has a good image, so we felt that it was suitable for her to do this."

"As a rare female entrepreneur, she has indeed received a lot of recognition, which has played a certain role in the promotion of mobike."

Lin Yi knew that they had some tacit understanding.

Hu Weiwei has no ability to manage a large company at all, and after Wang Xiaofeng took office, it is equivalent to taking a back seat, and it is still the kind that adds to the chaos.

But after all, she is the founder of the company, and she can't kick it away, so she thought about finding her a job to shine in this kind of vase.

Hu Weiwei himself is a journalist, whether it is because of his personality that he likes to show his head, or because he thinks that it is good for him to brush up on his popularity, he is also satisfied with this arrangement, so he hit it off.

Strictly speaking, it is a bit of a suspicion of spending the company's money to package itself.

Lin Yi didn't care about their mess, and went straight to the core: "The little yellow car invited Lu Han to have an effect, so may I ask Hu Weiwei to come forward to make this endorsement, does it work well?" ”

The other side was a little embarrassed, but Wang Xiaofeng replied: "It's okay." ”

I didn't have enough confidence to say this, so Lin Yi knocked on the table:

"Think again."
