Ordinary Road 2010

Lin glanced at him and explained patiently: "I don't want to interfere with your business, I just proposed this idea purely out of financial security considerations."

"After all, according to Janet's investigation, in terms of your finances, how should I put it... just like the famous scenic spot in your P University."

Dai Wei immediately realized that what Lin Yi was talking about was "One Pagoda Lake Map", which is the collective name of Yanyuan's iconic Boya Pagoda, Weiming Lake, and the library.

What he wants to express here is obviously a homonym: a mess.

Lin Yi didn't intend to play tricks, he felt that he was reserved enough, but it seemed that he accidentally stepped on the other party's tail.

Dai Weiteng stood up, and replied decisively: "If the finances are all under control, what kind of business independence is there?"

"This question, don't talk about it!"

All three people present were surprised by his reaction, but Lin Yi was not frightened by him, he just emphasized calmly:

"This is also my necessary condition. Without this, Wanli Travel will not invest."

"If you don't vote, you don't vote, this is your loss!"

Unexpectedly, Dai Wei was stubborn, and he didn't finish his sentence, so he simply left the table and walked towards the door, as if he wanted to leave directly.

Because Lao Zhu was not prepared, he was unable to hold Dai Wei in time.

In his opinion, although Lin Yi's demands were quite a lot, they were not excessive, and it was impossible to talk about deliberately making things difficult.

It is natural to pay a price to get 1 million US dollars, not to mention the support of Wanli Travel is of special significance to the bike-sharing industry.

In fact, he was not very satisfied with Dai Wei in his heart. Even if the negotiation really failed, he didn't have to react like this. He didn't know what he was doing.

Lao Zhu made a decision for a second, and first turned around and apologized:

"I'm sorry Lin Yi and Jian Ni, he may be a little too impulsive, this matter can be discussed further, we will contact you later."

After such an explanation, he hurried out to chase after Dai Wei.

The sudden end of this negotiation was obviously beyond everyone's expectation, Lin Yi asked strangely: "Did I say something particularly unpleasant?"

Liu Jianni spread her hands and said she had no comment.

Lin Yi laughed a few times indifferently. The reason why he wanted to choose the little yellow car was not because he admired the opponent's team, but simply because he didn't want to see it commit crimes again.

"We treat ourselves as dishes, but it seems that some people still only treat us as garlic."

Chapter 556

Lao Zhu failed to chase Dai Wei back.

Although he called again and again later, expressing that he was still trying to get through the work of Dai Wei, and would continue to contact Wanli Chuxing, Liu Jianni, who is experienced, pointed out sharply:

"They must be colluding with other investors and using us as a backup."

Lin Yi said relaxedly: "He uses us as a spare tire, and it depends on whether we are willing to continue to take his orders."

"In this market, regardless of whether the shared bicycles are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple, even if I vote for a gourd brother, I will not consider the small yellow bike."

Are you afraid that you have nowhere to spend your money?

Liu Jianni is very competent, and immediately found him another player of comparable strength on this track, and there were also two people.

This time it's orange.

"Mr. Lin, I have admired you for a long time. I am Hu Weiwei from Mobike. You are younger and more handsome than what you see in the media."

"Wang Xiaofeng, CEO of Mobike."

This pair of partners was obviously more enthusiastic, and they still shook hands with Lin Yi when they shook hands.

Lin Yi didn't care about this false name, but it seemed that compared with someone's attitude, the performance of these two should be normal.

"Call me Lin Yi."

"Then we will be disrespectful. Lin Yi doesn't blame me for being close, we seem to be half-citizens."

Hu Weiwei is also from Zhijiang, her hometown is Dongyang, and the famous Hengdian Film and Television City is located in this small county-level city.

But she said that half of the fellow villagers didn't talk about it from here.

"I'm a university student in Lin'an, so it's my second hometown. Maybe we met each other on the street when we didn't know each other."

Hu Weiwei studied at the City College of Zhijiang University. Those who don't know how to do it may think that he is a great student, but it is actually an independent college affiliated with.

The relationship with Zhida is roughly equivalent to "P Da" and "P Da Qingniao".

This kind of coquettish operation is not unique to Zhida. If outsiders don't misunderstand and don't talk about it, they can't fool people locally, so she didn't deliberately emphasize it.

The two established a friendship, and then another person named Wang Xiaofeng introduced himself: "I also have a relationship with us when traveling thousands of miles."

"Before I came to Mobike, I was the general manager of Uber in the Shanghai area, but I left in 2014. I didn't catch up with Kalanick when he was crazy about spending money and fighting."

The rivers and lakes are so small.

Lin Yi is also very face-saving: "Then I have to thank you for being merciful."

The two sides chatted politely for a while before getting to the point. Lin Yi asked them to introduce the origin and development of Mobike.

Hu Weiwei was the first to speak: "To tell you the truth, I worked as a reporter for ten years after graduation, mainly in the field of automobiles, so I am familiar with Li Bing of Bitauto."

"Later, I accidentally proposed to him the idea of ​​sharing bicycles. Although he was optimistic about it, he didn't want to do it himself. He asked me to implement it. He just gave an angel investment, and I just drove the ducks to the shelves and became a monk halfway through."

"Fortunately, the direction of shared bicycles has been recognized by investors, and we got financing last year."

"With the expansion of the company's scale, I deeply felt that my management experience was limited. At this time, Xiaofeng joined our team and took the position of CEO."

When she introduced here, Wang Xiaofeng gave a timely greeting.

Based on his own experience, Lin Yi roughly understood that the relationship between them was roughly equivalent to the relationship between Kuaidu Chen Weixing and Lu Chuanwei back then.

"Shared bicycles have received more attention this year. In fact, we have completed two consecutive rounds of financing last month."

"But we rushed over immediately when we heard the news about Wanli Travel, because no one will ignore your influence in the field of travel, and we are deeply honored to receive this invitation."

"If we can join forces with Wanli Travel, I believe it will be a great boost for both of us."

Hu Weiwei introduced the basic situation, and then handed over the right to speak to Wang Xiaofeng, who was in charge of the company's business.

Obviously, the Mobike team has three key roles.

Hu Weiwei is the founder.

Wang Xiaofeng is the CEO. From the perspective of internal level and business management, he is now the top decision maker and the actual person in charge.

There is another one who did not show up today, but took the key position of Mobike's chairman, that is Hu Weiwei's nobleman Li Bing.

It sounds a bit complicated for a start-up company, and it seems that it is not as straightforward as Dai Wei's speech at the little yellow car.

Lin Yi didn't need to worry about that, he straightforwardly put forward the exact same conditions that he had offered to Xiao Huangche.

"We can offer $1 million."

This sentence made Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng's eyes light up, but they knew that he must have something to say, so they continued to listen quietly.

"We have two requirements. The first point is that Wanli Travel will send you a financial director. The use of large amounts of funds requires permission."

The two looked at each other, and Wang Xiaofeng answered, "No problem, but you can't interfere with the company's normal business operations. This must be stipulated in the contract."

Lin Yi agreed, and then stretched out a second finger.

"Secondly, we asked for a director to have a single veto on important matters that should be discussed by the board of directors, and this right is the only one."

Hu Weiwei replied: "We need to discuss this matter."

It seems that they need off-field coaching, which may represent the degree of control these two people have over the company.

Lin Yi decided to put more pressure on them: "I can borrow one of your conference rooms, but you must give us an answer before leaving today."

The two solemnly agreed.

While Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng were having a small meeting and making phone calls cautiously, Lin Yi and Liu Jianni who were waiting on the other side were also discussing the team they met today.

"It seems that Li Bing's position in the team is still very important, and he played a key role in Mobike's early financing."

Li Bing made his debut very early, but not many people know about his initial entrepreneurial experience, which is not the same as those bigwigs in BAT.

However, the project he is currently engaged in will be well-known in the future, and he is the most vocal among the so-called "new car-making forces".

Lin Yi told the truth: "I actually don't care how the three of them divide their labor, and regardless of whether I want this or that, I really don't plan to get involved in the bike-sharing business."

Liu Jianni thought that Lin Yi was really not optimistic about this industry.

"Then why did you choose this team? If you compare it from the founder's point of view, Dai Wei of Little Yellow Car seems to be far above this Hu Weiwei."

Lin Yi said seriously: "Hu Weiwei's background is average, and Mobike's management rights seem to be scattered, which is not what I care about."

"Dai Wei has a good background and a good family background, that's why he has such a big temper and dares to blow up his hair in front of him."

"Jenny, I don't want these things because I want to make a difference in this industry, but just to stop them from doing whatever they want."

Chapter 557

Mobike agreed.

This result was expected by Lin Yi, not because he consciously decided on the orange bicycle, but because he had more choices than the other party.

If you don't agree, then change to another one.

For the shared bicycle industry, the investment of Wanli Chuxing not only represents financial support, promotion of volume and introduction of traffic.

Because everyone expects that the overlord of this travel field will not miss the feast of shared bicycles, and even play a leading role in it.

Then if the money is not obtained by oneself, it will be obtained by a competitor, which is something that relatively weak players are unwilling to face.

In any case, Mobike accepted his terms, and Lin Yi had no regrets.

The rest of the matter went smoothly, and the two parties soon announced that Wanli Travel would invest US$1 million in Mobike to become the largest shareholder of the other party.

This is the largest investment in the history of the shared bicycle industry, making Mobike surpass the small yellow car and become the industry's most watched leader.

In fact, Mobike has many problems. For example, the price of its early models is too high, and the cost is an order of magnitude higher than that of the small yellow car, which seriously affects the speed of launch.

However, Lin Yi did what he said and did not intervene in the details of these operations. They themselves will learn about war in the war.

Anyway, they will become more and more alike.

As the winner of the tens of billions of taxi wars, no one knows better than Lin Yi that the result of this war of attrition is "homogenization".

In short, after Lin Yi gave 1 million US dollars and ordered to integrate Mobike into Wanli Travel's APP, he sent the other party away.

……

As the saying goes, wealth does not return home, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night.

He made a random bet in the bike-sharing industry, and then Lin Yi returned to Lin'an in a hurry.

At the beginning of September, the G9 summit was just held here, which is the most important international conference hosted by this city in recent years.

Of course, it is also a watershed for local housing prices. The next time real estate agents encounter such a major theme that can be hyped for several years, they will have to wait until the Asian Games.

Lin Yi is not here to attend this summit.

At the beginning of this year, he took 20 billion US dollars from Factory A, which was the key support for Wanli Travel to survive the most difficult period.

At that time, the province was in the middle of the matchmaking and coordination, but Lin Yi agreed to set up a southern headquarters in the future science and technology city.

People in Lingnan may have their own views on whether Lin'an's geographical location is considered "South".

However, no matter what the name is, it will not affect the package of conditions such as jobs and taxes promised by Wanli Travel to the local area.

This matter was not implemented just now, otherwise it would appear that Lin Yi was too ignorant.

After Lin Yi negotiated with Factory A, it was arranged even before the money arrived. This southern headquarters has been in operation for more than half a year, and it is the city where the employees of Wanli Travel have the most concentration outside the capital.

It’s just that the competition between Wanli Chuxing and Tutu Taxi came to a critical moment, so I didn’t make a big fuss about it.

Now that the taxi-hailing war has been divided, the local area has timely proposed whether to hold a unveiling ceremony, after all, Wanli Travel can be regarded as a star enterprise.

Naturally, Lin Yi would not refuse, and there will be more opportunities to deal with them in the future.

If there is a little selfishness, Lin'an is my hometown after all, and it may come in handy to build good relations there.

What made Lin Yi dumbfounded was that the other party praised him quite a bit.

The leaders who came to attend the ceremony told him in private that if Wanli Travel can continue to expand in Lin'an, they can consider granting him a piece of land to build a building of their own.

Lin Yi didn't have a hobby of building buildings, not to mention that they didn't have a self-built headquarters building in the capital.
