Ordinary Road 2010

He still remembered Lao Zhu's reminder before he came here, so he didn't show any impoliteness, and he didn't drag Lin Yi's attitude to talk about things.

"I fully agree with this merger, but after the merger, I hope that our new company can still be run by ourselves, not by investors."

Dai Wei didn't directly say that he would be the chairman, but he could tell that Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng who were opposite him had no obsession with it.

What's more, even if they have any ideas, Dai Wei feels that his conditions are completely enough to defeat them and win the position of chairman.

"No, this matter is not negotiable."

Although Lin Yi's tone was flat, the opinions he gave were unquestionable.

Dai Wei's feeling is right.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yi has never trusted him. If he can work honestly, according to the previous discussion, Lin Yi, the remaining CEO, will not object.

However, if he wants to make a fuss, there is no way.

Dai Wei's heart sank after hearing this, and he became even more worried because of this.

Xiao Huang Che has raised seven or eight rounds in the past two years, and his equity has been diluted severely. It is not easy for him to maintain control after the merger.

This is due to the fact that Mobike's control rights are scattered, and neither Hu Weiwei nor Wang Xiaofeng can form a strong competition with him.

So his opponent became Lin Yi.

Lao Zhu saw that he was nervous about this issue, so he smoothed things over and said, "How about this? After all, there are many differences between the little yellow car and the Mobike, and I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing during the run-in."

"In order to protect their respective rights, both parties retain a veto right, with Dai Wei on the small yellow car side and Wanli Travel on the Mobike side."

"As for the position of chairman, it can be decided by shareholder vote."

Lao Zhu played a trick on Lin Yi, meaning that he would support him in the matter of the chairman, so that both parties would have an explanation.

Dai Wei didn't say a word either.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to get more support than Lin Yi from the investors, but with a veto in hand, at least the CEO should be able to sit firmly.

But Lin Yi directly refused: "I don't want to play house with you and play some mutual veto game. We have discussed just now that the one-vote veto of both parties will be invalidated at the same time, so there is no need to waste time again."

"I still say that, this matter is not negotiable."

Although the general meeting of shareholders is the highest authority of the company, generally speaking, few things need to be dealt with at this level.

Therefore, the most direct manifestation of the company's management authority is the board of directors, and Lin Yi does not intend to give in on this.

He had already considered it before, Dai Wei would at best take on the role of a tool man, and if he was disobedient, he would just stand aside.

Lin Yi believed that Dai Wei would not be able to shake the sky in the post-merger board of directors.

It may be that the word "playing house" offended Dai Wei, or it may be Lin Yi's attitude that offended him, in short, his face suddenly changed after hearing it.

In Dai Wei's view, Lin has already given Lin enough face today, but the latter made no secret of his intention to marginalize him, which is absolutely unacceptable.

He will never let go of the little yellow car!

Dai Weiteng stood up and said sonorously: "I think this merger should be based on the premise of mutual respect between the two parties, rather than a unilateral annexation."

"Little yellow car and Mobike have been working on the bicycle sharing track for a long time, not to marry clothes for Wanlixing!"

With a gun in his arms, he also wanted to pick up Mobike's Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng, but the latter two knew exactly which side they were on, so they didn't say a word.

They had already accepted that after the merger of the two companies, regardless of whether it was Dai Wei or Lin Yi, they would inevitably end up marginalized.

Now it seems that there are still variables?

Seeing their reaction, Dai Wei just sneered, feeling that such an unambitious opponent was really ashamed to be with them, so he didn't take them to heart, and turned and left directly.

Only Lao Zhu was left sitting there messy.

As for Lin Yi, he is introspecting: Is my fucking temper too good?

Chapter 602 Lin Yi’s Lesson

"I'm sorry Lin Yi, Dai Wei is...youthful and energetic, please take care of him, I will definitely talk about him when I go back."

Lao Zhu was a showman, even though he was scolding his mother in his heart, he still wanted to clean up the mess for that guy.

But Lin Yi shook his head resolutely.

"Regardless of the attitudes of the two parties just now, at least we exchanged a round of real opinions. I guess you should have no way to change Dai Wei's position."

"I wouldn't change mine either."

It was not the first day that Lao Zhu had dealt with Dai Wei, and he knew that he was a stubborn guy who would not listen to persuasion, but he had to show confidence when facing Lin Yi.

"Don't talk about Lin Yi like that, I believe that everyone is sincere about the merger of Xiaohuang Che and Mobike. Don't just break up because of this small disagreement. That's really a pity."

This was not a small disagreement, but Lin Yi didn't intend to break up with him, and only replied with four words:

"There are only three things."

Lao Zhu's heart skipped a beat, the situation he feared the most had happened. Lin Yi and Dai Wei were so confrontational, it was obvious that both of them had lost their tempers.

For Lin Yi, this guy Dai Wei has blown his hair in front of him twice, and he will never give it a third chance.

Old Zhu knew that it would be useless to say more at this time, so he gritted his teeth and said: "If it is really impossible, I will ask Brother Xiao Ma to come forward, wait for my news, and I will definitely give you a letter this time."

After speaking, he hurried away.

There were also Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng looking at each other. I don't know why the conversation suddenly broke down just now. They looked at each other and the latter said:

"Then what should we do now, is there still a chance for the merger?"

Lin Yi waved his hand bluntly: "Go back to the company right away, you don't need to wait here, just do what you have to do."

"The matter of the merger must be dead, so you can just treat it as a waste of time."

Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, if the merger falls through, at least Mobike is still under their control.

But at the same time, it also means that they have no way to get out of the quagmire of shared bicycles for the time being. To be honest, the madness of the industry in the past year has put them under great pressure.

Hu Weiwei wanted to ask one more question: "Then, later..."

Lin Yi simply interrupted: "The rest of the matter, you wait for my news."

What he said was waiting for news, not waiting for news from Lao Zhu, the so-called non-reciprocal indecent, he decided to teach Dai Wei 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 from the beginning.

Since we can't agree, let's find another way.

Wang Xiaofeng seemed to see that Lin Yi didn't intend to be good, so he pulled away Hu Weiwei who was still a little confused, and said that he would go back to the company to prepare to compete with the little yellow car.

Lin Yi didn't act in a hurry.

This is Pengcheng, although the talks with Dai Wei have already broken down, but out of respect, Lin Yi still wants to pay a visit to Brother Ma from the Goose Factory.

In fact, strictly speaking, they should be on opposite sides in the bike-sharing industry, being the largest shareholders of Xiaohuangche and Mobike.

But even Xiao Huang Che and Mobike can sit down and discuss the merger, so Lin Yi and Xiao Ma naturally don't have any idea of ​​competing.

He gave a detailed account of the negotiation. Brother Xiaoma thought about it after listening to it, and only answered:

"Do as you wish."

With Xiao Ma's words, Lin has no worries.

……

A few days later, a well-known financial media published a long article titled "Bicycle-Sharing Funds Doubtful, Continuous Financing Still Overwhelmed, Seems Insolvency", signed by Feng Wenqian.

On the surface, the article questioned the operating conditions and profit prospects of the entire shared bicycle industry, but it has been using the small yellow car as an example when talking about the crazy financing.

The core point is that it uncovers the unspoken rules of the bike-sharing industry, that is, misappropriating user deposits that should have been managed by special accounts to supplement the lack of liquidity.

This is the first public "negative report" on the industry since the bike-sharing boom in 2016.

This report seemed to be a starting gun, and related topics such as "bike sharing collapsed" and "little yellow car deposit" were continuously searched overnight, pushing this industry news to ordinary netizens.

Not long after the news spread, Mobike, one of the two leading bike-sharing companies and not named in the article, responded first.

“Dear Mobike users:

Since its establishment, the company has been committed to providing you with green, low-carbon, convenient and low-cost travel methods, and has won praise and support from users.

In the early days, in accordance with the practice of the leasing industry, we collected a certain deposit from users before using it as a credit guarantee for users, and we never used this money for other purposes.

In order to improve the user experience, not long ago we cooperated with Zhifubao of Factory A, a leading company in domestic Internet finance, to carry out credit deposit-free activities.

As long as the Zhifubao credit score reaches a certain level, you can use all Mobike bike-sharing services without paying a deposit.

At present, Mobike has fully adopted the credit deposit-free model.

We would like to remind all users that through the Zhifubao credit certification, you can use Mobike without deposit, and the deposit you have paid before can be refunded upon application.

Mobike will continue to provide services for everyone, and friends from all walks of life are welcome to supervise. "

This announcement came very quickly, and anyone with a heart could tell at a glance that it was well prepared.

After Mobike left the field directly, the attention of public opinion on the deposit issue of shared bicycles was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

Although there are still many fringe players who can be named or not named in this industry, there is no doubt that the most eye-catching one is another industry leader that is also known as Mobike.

The little yellow car became the target of public criticism, and all the media were asking about the whereabouts of the deposit.

After two days of silence, they had no choice but to respond publicly under pressure from the outside world: "The deposit for the little yellow car has never been embezzled, and the rumors on the Internet are all false and malicious slander by competitors."

Netizens in 2017 are well-informed and will not believe what they hear.

It was Lin Yi who ignited the last fire for this matter.

When he confronted Kalanick back then, he ended up in person, and now he doesn't need to hide when he's dealing with a mere Dai Wei.

As a giant in the field of travel, Lin Yi bluntly commented when he was asked this question in an interview with the media:

"Dai Wei is lying."

"I read the announcement of the little yellow car, and it was so hype that it didn't answer a core question, that is, where did the deposit go?"

"If Dai Wei and Xiao Huang Che really have such a clear conscience, there is no need to talk nonsense at all, just post a screenshot of the bank account."

"The deposit for shared bicycles is a problem left over from history. It is unnecessary to exist under the current industry conditions. As for why it was embezzled, the supervisory bank is also obliged to explain."

"I appeal to all users to withdraw their deposits in the small yellow car as soon as possible. If it is late, there is a high probability that problems may occur."

Lin Yi's words immediately caused an uproar.

Because in the industry, even direct competitors seldom swear at each other directly, tear each other's faces on public platforms.

There are very few people who openly fired guns like Lin Yi.

For a while, netizens were also moved by the news, and the number of deposit refund applications received on the Xiaohuangche APP increased rapidly.

Soon someone broke out that the time for the small yellow car to refund the deposit was getting longer and longer, so the 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 owned a Tesla" and "the team was extravagant and extravagant and rented a luxury office in the CBD".

The little yellow car has fallen into the biggest crisis since its establishment.

Chapter 603 The Capital Is Actually Myself

"Too deceiving!"

Dai Wei was losing his temper in Little Yellow Che's office, loudly scolding a guy who didn't know martial arts for engaging in business bullying and persecuting his colleagues.

But scolding will not help solve the current plight of the little yellow car.

When Dai Wei started his business, he had a few helpers, all of whom were his little brothers in P University. At this time, he surrounded him and asked worriedly:

"What should we do now, honestly refund the user's deposit?"

The timing of Lin Yi's attack this time was relatively early. Xiao Huangche's last round of financing of 7 million US dollars was not long ago, and if he really wanted to refund the deposit, he might not be able to afford it.

But in this way, the company's liquidity will soon be exhausted, which means that the financing has been wasted, which is absolutely unacceptable to them.

Dai Wei categorically rejected this suggestion, thought for a while and said: "Extend the account period, and refund according to the deadline of the refund period, so as to reduce the pressure of outflow of funds as much as possible."

This is just a stopgap measure, his partner reminded: "We have no way to estimate now, to what extent this wave of refunding deposits can be stopped."

"But once the deposit is refunded, it means that the user will never use our little yellow car again, which will cause the loss of users. This is the more terrible result."

Dai Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Users who give up their yellow bikes will most likely turn to Mobike. That's what that guy surnamed Lin is trying to instigate this run on!"
