Chapter 54: Lin Yi's Lesson
"I'm sorry Lin Yi, Dai Wei's ...... Young and vigorous, vigorous, you take care of him, I will definitely talk about him well when I go back. ”
Lao Zhu is a scene person, although he is already scolding his mother in his heart, he still wants to clean up the mess for the goods.
However, Lin Yi shook his head resolutely.
"Regardless of the attitude of both sides just now, at least we exchanged real opinions, and I guess you can't change Dai Wei's position."
"I'm not going to change mine either."
Lao Zhu didn't deal with Dai Wei for the first day, knowing that he was a stubborn and unpersuaded guy, but he had to show confidence in the face of Lin Yi.
"Don't say that about Lin Yi, I believe everyone is sincere about the merger of the little yellow car and mobike, don't break up because of this small disagreement, it's a pity."
This is not a small disagreement, but Lin Yi doesn't plan to break with him, so he only replied with four words:
"It's not a matter of three."
Lao Zhu chuckled in his heart, the situation he was most afraid of still appeared, Lin Yi and Dai Wei were so-for-tat, obviously the tempers of the two of them came up.
As far as Lin Yi is concerned, this guy Dai Wei has already blown up in front of him twice, and he will definitely not give him a third chance.
Lao Zhu knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he gritted his teeth and left a sentence: "If it really doesn't work, I will ask Brother Xiaoma to come forward, you wait for my news, and I will definitely give you a letter this time." ”
With that, he hurried away.
There were also Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng at the scene, looking at each other, I don't know why the conversation suddenly collapsed just now, and the latter said after looking at each other:
"So what do we do now, is there still a play on the merger?"
Lin Yi waved his hand dryly: "You go back to the company immediately, you don't need to wait here, you can do whatever you have to do." ”
"The merger is definitely out of play, so you should just run this trip for nothing today."
Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
For them, the collapse of the merger means that at least the mobike is still in their hands.
But at the same time, it also means that they can't get out of the quagmire of shared bikes for the time being, and to be honest, the madness of the industry in the past year has put them under great pressure.
Hu Weiwei also wanted to ask more: "Then, ...... later"
Lin Yi simply interrupted: "The rest of the matter, you wait for my news." ”
What he said was waiting for the news was not waiting for the news from Lao Zhu's side, the so-called coming without being rude, he decided to teach Dai Wei, who had a heart higher than the sky, a lesson.
At the beginning, Lin Yi wanted to invest in the little yellow car, just to stop Dai Wei from going his own way, but he didn't give Lin Yi a chance to intervene in the first place.
Since we can't talk about it, let's change the way.
Wang Xiaofeng seemed to see that Lin Yi was not going to be good, so he pulled Hu Weiwei, who was still a little confused, away, and said that he would return to the company to prepare for the competition with the little yellow car.
Lin Yi didn't rush to make a move.
This is Pengcheng, although the conversation with Dai Wei has collapsed, but out of respect, Lin Yi still wants to visit Brother Xiao Ma of the goose factory.
In fact, strictly speaking, in the bike-sharing industry, they should be on opposite sides, namely the largest shareholders of small yellow cars and mobikes.
But even the little yellow car and mobike can sit down and talk about the merger, and Lin Yi and Xiao Ma naturally don't have any idea of competing.
He explained the situation of this negotiation in detail, and after listening to it, Brother Xiao Ma thought about it for a while, and only replied:
"Do what you want."
With Brother Xiaoma's words, Lin repeatedly had no worries.
……
A few days later, a well-known financial media published a long article titled "Bicycle Sharing Funds Are Suspicious, Continuous Financing Still Exceeds Income, and Seems to Be Insolvent", signed by Feng Wenqian.
On the surface, the article questioned the operating conditions and profit prospects of the entire bike-sharing industry, but when talking about crazy financing, it has been using small yellow cars as an example.
The core point is that it unveils the unspoken rules of the bike-sharing industry, that is, misappropriating user deposits that should be managed by special accounts to supplement insufficient liquidity.
This is the first public "negative report" about the industry since the bike-sharing boom in 2016.
This report seems to be a starting gun, and related topics such as "the collapse of shared bicycles" and "small yellow car deposits" have been continuously searched overnight, pushing this industry news to ordinary netizens.
Soon after the news spread, as one of the two leading bike-sharing bikes, mobike, which was not named in the article, took the lead in responding.
"Dear Mobike users,
Since its establishment, the company has been committed to providing everyone with a green, low-carbon, convenient and low-cost way of travel, which has been well received and supported by the majority of users.
In the early days, in accordance with the practice of the rental industry, we collected a certain deposit from the user before use as a credit guarantee for the user, and we never misappropriated the money for other purposes.
In order to improve the user experience, not long ago, we cooperated with Zhifubao, a leading enterprise in domestic Internet finance, to carry out a credit deposit free activity.
As long as the credit score of Fubao reaches a certain level, you can use the full range of mobike bicycle sharing services without paying a deposit.
At present, mobike has fully adopted the credit deposit-free model.
We would like to remind users that they can use mobike without a deposit through the method of credit authentication of Fubao, and the deposit that has been paid before can be returned.
mobike will continue to provide services for everyone, welcome friends from all walks of life to supervise. ”
This announcement came quickly, and those who are interested can see at a glance that they have been prepared.
After mobike went down directly, the attention of public opinion on the issue of shared bicycle deposits was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
Although there are many marginal players in this industry who can be named or unnamed, there is no doubt that the most eye-catching is another industry leader that is known as mobike.
The little yellow car has become a public miss, and all the media are asking where the deposit went.
After two days of silence, they had to respond publicly under pressure from the outside world: "The deposit of the little yellow car has never been misappropriated, and the rumors on the Internet are all false, and it is the malicious slander of competitors." ”
Netizens in 2017 have become well-informed and believe what they don't hear.
It was Lin Yi who lit the last fire for this matter.
He was personally involved when he was spraying with Kalanick back then, and now he doesn't need to hide it when dealing with a mere Dai Wei.
As a giant in the field of travel, Lin Yi bluntly commented when asked about this question in an interview with the media:
】
"Dai Wei is lying."
"I read the announcement of the little yellow car, and I didn't answer a core question, that is, where did the deposit go."
"If Dai Wei and Xiao Huangche really have such a clear conscience, they don't need to talk nonsense at all, just post a screenshot of the bank account."
"The deposit of shared bicycles is a historical problem, and it is not necessary to exist under the existing industry conditions, and the regulator is also obliged to explain why it was misappropriated."
"I appeal to the majority of users to withdraw their deposit in the small yellow car as soon as possible, there is a high probability that there may be problems if it is late."
Lin Yi's words immediately caused an uproar.
Because in the industry, even direct competitors rarely speak ill of each other directly and tear each other's faces on public platforms.
There are really a few people like Lin Yi who openly open their guns.
For a while, netizens were also moved, and the number of applications for deposit refund received on the small yellow car app rose rapidly.
Soon, someone broke out that the time for the little yellow car to refund the deposit was getting longer and longer, so this negative feedback intensified, and more people began to join.
At the same time, more black material about the little yellow car appeared on the Internet, including rumors such as "the founder embezzled public funds and had a Tesla in his hands" and "the team was extravagant and rented a luxury CBD office".
The little yellow car has fallen into the biggest crisis since its establishment.
