Ordinary Road 2010

On the other side, Lin Yi and his senior sister were also discussing the resolution of this matter. Although the senior sister trusted him to handle it, she was still a little puzzled.

"If we post this video on the Internet, of course we will be punished, and at least we will need to spend a public relations fee. Not to mention, our business will definitely be affected in the recent period. Maybe it can relieve the pressure we have been under recently. .”

"But it's not necessarily all good for us."

Seeing the doubtful eyes of the senior sister, Lin Yi continued to explain: "We must admit that Are you hungry is now the leader in this industry. To a certain extent, the image of Are you hungry represents the image of this industry."

"The capital city is all we have, but it is only a fraction of that of Areme. For consumers in other cities, the reputation of Areme is equal to the reputation of this industry."

"Sister, we won't stay in the capital all the time, we also need to go to other cities. I don't want to face distrust from consumers because of today's incident."

"Many people may not be able to distinguish whether you are hungry or casual. After watching today's video, he may subconsciously think, oh, you guys who run food delivery websites are all gangsters."

Li Moyan understood what he meant, but still doubted: "Is it so easy for netizens to misunderstand?"

"It's a communication question."

Lin Yi spread his hands, "I can't guarantee that what I said will happen, but I can't guarantee that it won't happen either. The moment we upload the video online, the result is out of our control."

"It is also very possible that in the end there was no splash at all, and it was directly submerged in the massive amount of network information every day."

"In short, we don't want the situation to develop beyond our control, which is why Zhang Xuhao just said that such a settlement is in the best interest of both of us."

Li Moyan didn't realize that Zhang Xuhao and Lin Yi had such an exchange just now: "It should be the first time you two have met, isn't there such a tacit understanding?"

Lin Yi thought that she might have thought about "sympathy and sympathy", but in fact, Lin Yi always thought that this statement was a false proposition.

"A man's thoughts are determined by his identity."

"Zhang Xuhao can think of it because he is now the boss of this industry. When he thinks about himself, he is thinking about the whole industry."

"And the reason why I can think of it is because although we are still unknown now, we will not remain so unknown forever."

"Do you know, Senior Sister, are you hungry? At the end of the year before last, the scale was not much bigger than ours now, and it has been at least ten times our size since a year ago. Is this because he, Zhang Xuhao, can do so much more than us?"

"No, it's because this industry is already in an explosive period. As long as it can continue to develop, even if he wants to share the cake with us, it will be enough to feed himself."

"It's the same for us. If we do everything we can to kill Are you hungry, and we don't hesitate to tarnish the reputation of the entire industry, the final result is that everyone will have nothing to eat."

"This is the so-called fight without breaking."

After listening to Li Moyan, she felt very inspired. At first, she didn't think that it was not because of any defects in knowledge, but because of the limitation of vision.

Some people always say that age is not important, experience is more important, but for most people, it always takes some age to experience more things.

Zhang Xuhao is only in his twenties. He has this knowledge and height because this year is already the fifth year of his business.

And Lin Yi only created this small website last year, and he had such an awareness before he was reminded. He felt very surprised, so he called it a "respectable opponent."

This is also the advantage of the reborn.

Of course, the boss personally ordered things to be done as soon as possible, so Are you hungry? The efficiency is very high, and a "Settlement Agreement" was thrown out soon after.

Although I felt that the other party would not be so petty as to play tricks on this, Lin Yi and Senior Sister read it carefully.

After confirming that it was correct, Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao were able to sign the document on behalf of Random Food Delivery and Are You Hungry respectively.

However, Lin Yi suggested: "Just now Mr. Zhang suggested that villains should be put first before being gentlemen. Then I will say it directly. Please Mr. Zhang finish the matter of apologizing first."

When Zhang Xuhao asked for an apology, he couldn't take pictures or record videos. He just didn't want to leave any clues to them. This is the way to completely end the matter, so of course this clause will not be written in the "Settlement Agreement".

What Lin Yi meant was that he was afraid that he would renege on his debt.

Zhang Xuhao was straightforward: "President Lin please lead the way."

This man didn't drag his feet in the slightest, and he didn't make any weird tricks when apologizing. He seemed to be sincerely apologizing to the students in his hands, and he also took the initiative to inform Lin Yi of the "compensation" he had discussed, which made them feel uncomfortable. All a little flattered.

After this process was completed, Lin Yi didn't make any fuss. Everyone sat together in a friendly manner, exchanged and signed this newly released "Reconciliation Agreement", and then each kept a copy of the original.

Before leaving, Zhang Xuhao took the initiative to shake Lin Yi's hand again, and both of them felt something from the other's powerful response.

"It is my greatest achievement today to meet a colleague like Mr. Lin."

"me too."

After he left, the senior sister stood beside Lin Yi and said, "I really felt a little sympathetic just now."

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head: "Do you feel sorry for each other? I don't think so."

"Through the entire relationship today, Zhang Xuhao has always had a superior attitude. It is obvious that he is hungry for this matter, and the right is wrong, but he still has a strong look that will not give in. He praised me like a senior. Promising descendants."

In terms of their superficial ages, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Xuhao treating him as a junior, but of course Lin Yi doesn't think so. They are the first managers of two rival companies.

They should be equal.

"Why is he?"

"Just because he is now the well-deserved number one in this industry, because his scale is at least ten times larger than ours, and because we can only parry under his attack during this period of time, but we have no power to fight back."

"To be honest, Senior Sister, I am quite annoyed by his superior attitude."

"The best way to respond to this gesture is of course not to choke him, but to hit back at his previous run and let him know that we are not an opponent he can casually despise."

"It's enough patience for this period of time, now we have to fight back."

"Sister, are you ready?"

Li Moyan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 270 I Had Tea With The Boss

The counterattack that Lin Yi mentioned was of course not a counterattack.

They have discussed it many times before. If they are rich, they can come up with many tit-for-tat measures, but the problem is that they don't have money?

Today, he mistakenly thought that his senior sister was injured, which caused him to be in a mess at the time, but he quickly adjusted after seeing his senior sister in the hospital, and he was able to cope with Zhang Xuhao with ease.

Lin Yi didn't want to think about it.

However, he also realized one thing, that is, the stalemate could not continue like this, otherwise his subordinates would lose confidence after a long time.

Anyway, it's not his style to sit and wait for death, so he went to find someone he didn't know very well.

Liu Jianni was obviously very surprised at his approach: "Student Lin Yi, I didn't expect to see you here."

They are now in the office of Liu Jianni's company, the address was given to Lin Yi by Professor Li Feifei.

Lin Yi took a sip of the coffee that the secretary had just brought over in his spare time. It was steaming, but it was a bit too bitter for Lin Yi.

"Mr. Liu's coffee doesn't taste very good."

"It's instant coffee from a coffee machine. I do have better coffee here, but not everyone can drink it."

When Liu Jianni heard him call herself "Mr. Liu", she sort of guessed his reason for coming.

Lin Yi didn't bother with the topic of coffee anymore, and then she said at the beginning: "Mr. Liu said he didn't expect to see me here, so where did he think of seeing me?"

"Maybe it's at Professor Li Feifei's place, or maybe it's at another entrepreneurship competition, who knows?"

Liu Jianni leaned back on the back of the comfortable chair, holding a pen in her hand and said, "My time is very precious, please tell me the purpose of your visit."

It seemed that she didn't intend to greet her, so Lin Yi got straight to the point: "Mr. Liu has seen the project of my random food delivery network as early as in the entrepreneurial competition. I came today to raise funds."

"Lin Yi, Professor Li also asked me about your project years ago, but I have already declined. If I was interested, I would have discussed investment with you at the entrepreneurship competition."

She didn't address him as "Student Lin Yi" this time, which meant that she now regarded him as an entrepreneur who came to talk about investment, not a contestant in a student competition.

This attitude was expected, and Lin Yi certainly did not give up so easily: "Can I ask Mr. Liu why he is not optimistic about our project? Is it because the market capacity is not enough or is it that we are too hungry to do it?"

Liu Jianni tapped with a pen: "Originally, I was not obliged to explain to you. For the sake of Professor Li Feifei, I can spend a few minutes to briefly respond to your dissatisfaction."

"According to what I know, Ele.me has made a lot of moves recently after receiving an investment of 300 million US dollars at the beginning of the year. You should have been very uncomfortable. Is there any good way to deal with Ele.me's pressing step by step?"

Lin Yi told the truth: "We have many ways, but they all need money."

Liu Jianni shook her head: "My place is not Shantang, nor is there any venture capital institution that is Shantang. They all want to eat meat. I guess you have encountered a lot of obstacles in other companies during this period, right? "

"Let me ask this, Lin Yi, I made an opinion during the last entrepreneurial competition, have you changed it?"

"No."

"Look, if I were you, before you come to me to try your luck, you will at least implement the suggestion I made last time, so that you can speak."

Liu Jianni gave a helpless expression, and was about to end the conversation: "I can only tell you with regret that you may not have good luck with me today."

Lin put his hands on the table, leaned his upper body forward, and said in a more serious tone: "Mr. Liu, I'm really not here to try my luck this time."

"Actually, I didn't come here empty-handed today. I brought an important piece of information that I haven't shared with other investors before."

"The reason why I came to you is not because the two of us met once. Originally, according to my thinking, since you are friends with the investor who is hungry, you have been excluded from my shortlist."

"Professor Li Feifei strongly recommended you to me, thinking that your professionalism is completely trustworthy. Even if we don't reach an agreement in the end, you won't betray me casually. That's why I'm here."

Lin Yi is not only out of trust in Professor Li Feifei, but also out of a little understanding of the financial industry.

People in this industry are the best at calculating accounts. The so-called "friend" is never a static concept, but can be very flexible.

When it's profitable, even "friends" have to step aside.

This time Liu Jianni finally became more serious, she put down the pen and said formally: "Thank you Professor Li for your trust, now you can speak."

Lin Yi didn't keep it secret: "Last winter, a customer visited our small website, and he found me in a difficult way. At first, he probably wanted to investigate secretly, so he didn't reveal his identity, but he didn't expect me to put He recognized it."

Liu Jianni knew that Lin Yi stopped here on purpose, but she was really curious, so she asked cooperatively: "Then what is his identity?"

"It's Wang Huiwen from each regiment."

Every regiment!

Liu Jianni has been observing the O2O industry. Of course, it is impossible not to know the last winner of the "Thousand Regiments War" in the past two years.

The most famous Mr. Wang in this company should be the boss Wang Xing, who is also a well-known serial entrepreneur in the industry.

He was born in T University. When he was studying in the United States, he majored in computer science. Then he resolutely interrupted his studies and returned to China to start his own business, taking advantage of the C2C boom at that time. He is considered a veteran of the Internet industry.

The so-called C2C means Copy to China, copying the business model of Silicon Valley to China.

It seems that Wang Xing's luck is not good. He founded Xiaonei and Fanfou successively, but failed to do so. It was not until three years ago that he led his own group network to stand out in the battle of thousands of groups.

So who is Wang Huiwen?

This is Wang Xing's brother who slept in his lower bunk when he was an undergraduate student at T University, probably equivalent to the relationship between Lin Yi and Li Jianguo.

Wang Huiwen was also one of the first two veterans to start a business with Wang Xing. He left for a while, but later returned to Wang Xing's command and is now the vice president of each group.

There is no need for Lin Yi to explain these things, Liu Jianni herself knows everything about people who already have a certain status in the industry.

Liu Jianni also knows that because Wang Huiwen left for a period of time, his status has actually been shaken after returning to each regiment, and he has been actively looking for new business directions to prove that he is the "one man under ten thousand" of each regiment superior".

She was really interested in the news: "What do you mean by that?"

Of course, Lin Yi's intention was not just to show off that he had had tea and chatted with the boss, so he answered in a somewhat mysterious way:

"It's exactly what you think, Mr. Liu."

Chapter 271 Say Your Wish

Why didn't Lin Yi approach Liu Jianni or other investors with this matter in the first place?

Because he has always felt that once such a thing as pretending to be a ghost has started, it may be difficult to get it back in the future.

But given the current situation of Casual Food Delivery Network, it's hard to say that he still has a choice, so he finally ran here to fool around.

It stands to reason that Liu Jianni's experience in the world should not be easily fooled by Lin Yi, but what he told Liu Jianni cannot be falsified. On the contrary, as long as she investigates more seriously, she can indeed find a series of clues that may prove to be true. of.

Still hit an information asymmetry.

Wang Huiwen did go to find Lin Yi that day, but Liu Jianni couldn't directly ask Wang Huiwen what they talked about, because if Lin Yi's statement was true, it would be the "commercial secret" of each group.

She is not familiar enough with Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen to share business secrets.

In short, he used this bait to successfully arouse Liu Jianni's interest. Of course, the latter would not believe him directly, so she still needs a little time to check.

So Lin Yi went back to school and waited patiently.

During this period of time, because the casual food delivery network did not continue to expand outwards, Lin Yi and the three of them usually stayed in the school except for running around in other areas of the capital, and Li Jianguo was able to attend a few more classes.

As they no longer leave early and return late like last semester, they naturally spend more time with other people in the dormitory.

When Zheng Xun, the head of the dormitory, came back this day, he clapped his hands excitedly: "There is a good thing, brothers, don't say that I don't take care of you next time."

Lao Zheng was usually quite serious, but this kind of appearance was rare. Everyone became interested immediately, and Wang Wenfeng immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you know what two days are?"
