Lin Yi didn't say anything.

Familiar with him, he wouldn't casually lie outside under the guise of Li Robin, so he really went to the bear factory to say hello before he came.

At this time, Yang Luyu and Zhu Jun were even more surprised.

In addition to the Facebook they just mentioned, there are no other big factories that have thrown olive branches to them, but the bear factory seems to be the one farthest away, and no matter how you look at it, it can't be linked to short videos.

But since Lin Yi said so, he can only take it seriously, and if he thinks about it carefully, it seems that the bear factory is not completely impossible.

There is money, there are people, there are skills.

Musically didn't seriously consider Lin Yi as a potential acquisition target at first, and the willingness to meet was just a sign of respect for him.

After taking out the bear factory card, Lin Yi really got the admission ticket.

But Musically's acquisition negotiations have been going on for a long time, and there are many aspects involved, and it is not something that can be decided after one or two meetings, and Lin Yi did not expect to win it on the spot.

At least, he already knew who his opponent was after entering the game.

It is true that Musically has received an offer from Facebook, but the other party has given a hammer deal for an all-cash acquisition, and if the deal is made, Yang Luyu and Zhu Jun and even their team will be out.

Moreover, Facebook's bid was the earliest, and the internal attitude towards short music videos seems to have changed, and after a long delay, it is not so ambitious to win this target.

Therefore, the two companies that musically is mainly talking about now are both domestic short video peers.

The major shareholder of the block is the well-known goose factory, and it is said that they participated in the bidding for music because of the instructions of Xiao Ma himself.

And the other family is not an outsider, and Lin Yi is barely friends, and they made an appointment with him as soon as they learned the news.

Zhang Yiming, it doesn't look like the last time.

Lin Yi and this are not social experts, and they haven't seen each other since the dinner in Wuzhen arranged by Wang Xing.

However, the outside world often refers to them in the name of "BMW", and there are inexplicable marketing claims that they have "very close personal relationships".

This time, Zhang Yiming didn't come to chat with Lin Yi or catch up, he had a businesslike posture, and he also introduced another companion he brought.

"Liu Zhen, the senior vice president of Bytes, she is in charge of Musically's acquisition, and you should not be strangers."

The surname Liu is really everywhere.

This is Liu Qing's cousin, the former head of strategy for Uber's region, who left shortly after the merger of Uber and Duto.

When she left, Liu Qing had not lost control of the capital, so that in the end, she was forced to merge with Wanli Travel, otherwise she would have become Lin Yi's former subordinate.

"Boss Lin, I have admired my name for a long time."

Lin Yi was quite curious about what she heard about her reputation, but she was afraid that most of it was not a good thing.

However, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Lin Yi still shook his hand decently.

Zhang Yiming didn't say much to each other, and after getting to know him, he said straightforwardly:

"Lin Yi, you should know very well why we came to visit today, I don't understand why you want to get involved in the musical thing?"

Although his tone was not a Xingshi question, it was also cold, if outsiders saw it, I am afraid they would not think that he and Lin Yi would be good friends.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry, and roughly recounted the reasons he had explained to Yang Luyu and Zhu Jun.

The more Zhang Yiming listened, the more frowning he became.

There is an information asymmetry in this because Zhang Yiming doesn't know what happened between Lin Yi and his senior sister, so this reason seems a bit childish to him.

So he came to the conclusion that Lin Yi was either teasing him, or he had some other ulterior secret.

Liu Zhen on the side spoke at the right time and said those things for Zhang Yiming that it was inconvenient for him to say directly.

"Lin Yi, with all due respect, I think you have a biased view of the music short video industry, or at least musically itself."

"Musically is valuable to us, but it doesn't mean that anyone can take over and play that value."

"It has a high user base in the U.S. and looks promising, but why would it be looking to sell?"

"Because Musically's growth in the U.S. has hit a bottleneck, there has been little progress in the past year, and even some loss."

"And it is far behind us and similar products under Blockshou in China, and there is at least a hundred-fold gap in the number of users."

"Not to mention that you have no experience in this area, even with the addition of the bear factory, I don't see any ability you have to reverse this situation."

Of course, Lin Yi knew all these things, and he asked rhetorically: "If that's the case, then why are you so obsessed with acquiring it?" ”

Zhang Yiming personally answered him: "Byte has no competitors in China, and the next goal will be to go overseas, and the acquisition of musical can greatly accelerate this process." ”

"But, I have to stress that he doesn't have to."

It's crazy.

If it weren't for the experience of his previous life, Lin Yi would have been frightened by his tone, but he didn't plan to recognize it like that.

"You said that Byte has no opponents in China, and others may have different opinions on this point, such as Li Robin of the Bear Factory."

How did Lin Yi fool Li Robin into entering the game when it came to acquiring Musically?

is to make trouble for Zhang Yiming.

Xiong Factory has suffered greatly in the past two years, and if spending a little money can hinder the development of bytes, Li Robin will definitely be happy to see it.

Of course, this matter can be easily entrusted to Lin Yi, and it is also because Xiong Factory's investment in Wanli Travel has brought unprecedented rich returns.

Zhang Yiming really felt tricky, if Xiong Chang was determined to intervene, and Lin Yiyi was an agent who came forward, then I am afraid this matter would not be good.

For this he came up with a plan.

"Lin Yi, I heard that you and your partner have just cashed out a sum of money, if you want to find an investment outlet for yourself, I can give it to you."

"Whether it's bytes themselves, or whether we're going to give you a separate part of the equity after we acquire Musically, it's no problem."

"To be honest, I'm not worried about what kind of threat musically can pose to me, I just don't want such a good product to be ruined."

"You quit, everything I just said works."

It's a private occasion now, so Zhang Yiming spoke very bluntly or without scruples, but Lin Yi didn't eat him.

Just now, when Zhang Yiming said that he could open up the equity of bytes to him, Lin Yi was really tempted, this should be the easiest way to skyrocket his net worth.

Give him musically, don't do anything, and then sit back and wait for the next few years to appreciate.

But Lin Yi has not forgotten what his purpose is for doing this play, and it is still the same sentence, the growth of wealth on paper is not his only goal.

"You just said that musically would be ruined in my hands, and I'm afraid we have different opinions on this matter."

"As for which of the two of us is right and who is wrong, let time verify."

Strictly speaking, Lin Yi didn't plan to run musically himself, this was what he prepared for his senior sister, but Zhang Yiming didn't need to know those details.

He only needed to know that Lin Yi had rejected his kindness.

"In that case, I'm afraid we won't be friends with each other."

After saying this, he took Liu Zhen and left.
