Ordinary Road 2010

"Lin Yi, you're quite energetic. You've just been making waves in the bike-sharing industry. Now that the matter between the little yellow bike and Mobike hasn't been settled yet, why are you making strides to cross over into short videos?"

Brother Xiao Ma's tone sounded like teasing rather than questioning, at least he wasn't angry at Lin Yi's rash visit.

Lin Yi simply stated his intentions: "I know that Goose Factory intends to acquire Musically, but because of Fu Sheng's unreasonable demands, Su Hua has already backed down."

"Facts have proved that the block hand is not so determined, and the body is not big enough to easily swallow Musically. If the overlord takes the bow forcefully, it may cause indigestion."

"So if Goose Factory still plans to eat this cake, it must make plans early."

Since Lin Yi came all the way today, the so-called early planning is naturally to support him to participate in Musically's merger and acquisition.

Brother Xiao Ma asked: "Cuaishou is just making short videos. If he can't do it, why do you think you can do it?"

Lin Yi answered eloquently: "The tonality of Block Hand and Musically is not consistent at all. Even if they are forcibly merged, one will die sooner or later."

"And Douyin is basically copied according to Musically's Sinicization, and the other party has the most coveted overseas users and a vast market, so it can be easily integrated."

"However, please allow me to emphasize that Douyin copied Musically and not the other way around. The reason why its own local version can't get off the ground is only because of insufficient funds and technology."

"If you have a strong team and enough resources to bring in, none of this is a problem."

Brother Xiao Ma didn't care about copying or not, but asked again: "Listen to you, do you still think it's most logical for Byte to acquire it?"

Lin Yi's explanation is: "A byte is a byte, and a goose factory is a goose factory. Although it has mainly caused trouble for Xiongchang in the past few years, can the goose factory really remain indifferent?"

"Pony, there is something you told me. It has been hidden in my heart for several years, and I have never told anyone. Musically only has one chance, and I must remind you."

"Do you remember WhatsApp?"

Lin Yi's specially prepared highlight really worked, and Brother Xiao Ma's expression changed slightly.

It's done.

Chapter 609 Duanshui Master Lin Yi

After the Goose Factory entered the game, Lin Yi's temporary acquisition team lineup was already extremely luxurious.

In terms of funding, Lin Yi and Li Moyan are still the main ones, with Bear Factory and Goose Factory as supplements, and subsequent commitments of precious resources, including but not limited to financial, technical and traffic support.

This is a very attractive condition.

If Musically could get the support of Bear Factory and Goose Factory at the same time, they would not want to sell it at the beginning.

The direct result is that Lin Yi has become full of confidence during the negotiation.

"What's with bytes?"

"How will he promote after he wins Musically? Not to mention domestically, overseas is nothing more than cooperation with Facebook and the like, and the essence is to spend money to buy volume."

"Now that Xiongchang and Goose Factory have agreed to support us, Musically's landing in China is not a problem. As for the matter of spending money, who do you think we will be afraid of?"

Although Yang Luyu and Zhu Jun were more inclined to Zhang Yiming in their hearts, they had to admit that Lin Yi's confidence was justified.

These two people have the right to speak about the ownership of Musically, but it doesn't mean they can do whatever they want, otherwise they wouldn't kill Fu Sheng halfway.

The pressure came to the other side.

This was a very open and honest negotiation, and the three companies were almost open cards, but Zhang Yiming was silent for a long time but did not respond.

He can continue to increase the stakes, but with Xiongchang and Goose Factory behind him, it is really hard to predict how far Lin Yi intends to compete.

Zhang Yiming is very clear that Byte needs Musically, but if this price becomes unaffordable, that is another matter.

So when the negotiation quickly turned against him, he decisively chose to let go.

"Musically let it go to you."

Zhang Yiming came here specially to talk to Lin Yi, not because he had any hobbies of flirting, but because he had something else to say.

"Since you have won Musically and plan to localize it, then you will be a competitor in the future, and I will never be soft."

Liu Zhen, who came with him, was still in charge of singing the white face: "Lin Yi, don't say we didn't remind you, there is no competitor who can compete with us on this track, so do it yourself!"

The reason this guy reacted so strongly was because the acquisition of Musically was the most important thing she'd done since joining the company.

Originally, it was a sure thing, but it failed because of Lin Yi's disruption.

Although this matter cannot be regarded as her responsibility, this Ms. Liu has already noticed that Zhang Yiming seems to be disappointed with her role.

It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, my life in this company will be more difficult.

Liu Zhen even briefly had an idea: Lin Yi suddenly jumped out of nowhere to compete for this Musically. Couldn't his main purpose be to make things difficult for himself, the Liu family?

This is obviously self-indulgent.

However, Lin Yi was satisfied with being able to step on this foot in the process.

Regardless of their psychological activities, as the winner, Lin Yi didn't need to worry about it at all. He said very gracefully:

"We'll see."

Zhang Yiming also mentioned before leaving: "You have a better relationship with the giants than me. This may be something I need to learn."

"However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. I think it's not easy for you to have both sides."

Regarding the existence of BAT, Zhang Yiming's previous attitude was direct confrontation, while Lin's policy has always been to use their strength to do his own thing.

It's not right or wrong, it's just a choice.

When Zhang Yiming summed up the lessons of this major defeat, his reminder or prediction did indeed come true.

……

After Byte withdrew, it was finally settled who would get Musically.

Soon, the company officially announced that it had changed hands and sold most of its shares at a consideration of US$15 billion. The acquirer included the two founders of Wanli Travel, Xiongchang and Goose Factory, and the original entrepreneurial team retained a small amount of equity.

After the transaction is completed, Li Moyan, the former president of Wanli Travel, will become the largest shareholder and actual controller of Musically, and will serve as CEO.

This news naturally detonated the field of public opinion.

The parties involved in it, Lin Yi can be said to be very prosperous recently, and the status of Xiongchang and Goose Factory in the arena is needless to say.

On the contrary, Li Moyan, who was the protagonist, was the most low-key before.

Under such circumstances, no one really asked Li Moyan why she left Wanli for a trip, but only cared about how she planned to show her talents after she took office.

Not to mention all kinds of turmoil and speculation from the outside world, one person was very upset when he saw this news.

Ma Jack.

The most taboo of factory A is half-heartedness. If it is only Lin Yi himself, or at most Xiong Factory, they may not care about it.

Only the goose factory can't do it.

Since he dared to go to Brother Ma, Lin Yi had anticipated his dissatisfaction with Factory A, and had already prepared countermeasures.

Lin Yi was very self-aware, and before the other party sent a question, he took the initiative to fly back to Lin'an to explain the matter to Ma Jieke face to face.

"Tell me, why did you get involved with them again?"

"The bid for Musically this time is mainly the choice of my partner after quitting the company, and I only played the role of a matchmaker..."

Lin Yi's rhetoric is to separate himself from his senior sister, to show that he is not hooking up with the goose factory.

Of course Ma Jack didn't believe it.

Although Lin Yi didn't reveal that he was looking for Brother Xiaoma, but because Lin Yi himself still owns the shares after the acquisition, it is impossible for him to completely separate the relationship.

So Lin Yi immediately took out the plan he had prepared in advance:

"Although the short-term cooperation with Goose Factory on Musically was not my original intention, it was really negligence not to communicate in advance."

"I have an idea. Wanli Travel has been discussing the merger of Mobike before. I wonder if Factory A is interested in this?"

Ok?

Ma Jieke confirmed in surprise: "You mean, you are willing to give up the Mobike to us?"

Lin Yi's reason is as follows: "We have promised to achieve profitability in 2017. If Mobike is taken over and consolidated, then this huge loss will be included in the account."

"I've thought about this issue for a long time before, and I think it's a matter of course for Factory A to come forward to acquire it. After all, you are the second largest shareholder."

Ma Jieke immediately understood that this was not a whim but a long-planned plan by Lin Yi.

Although Lin Yi stepped on the little yellow car some time ago, and the entire shared bicycle industry was a bit depressed, Mobike, which had been prepared for a long time, was less affected.

It can even be said that it was a blessing in disguise, and directly became the leader of the industry when the small yellow car declined.

Now neither the little yellow car nor the Mobike has overturned, and judging from the frenzy in the past two years, this is a good target.

If Lin Yiping said for no reason that he would send the Mobike to Factory A, then Ma Jieke would probably have to think about it carefully.

Now that Lin Yi has made Factory A unhappy because of his cooperation with Goose Factory, and what he said is true about the impact on profitability, it seems reasonable to let go of Mobike at this time.

Why is factory A interested in shared bicycles?

Last year, Ma Jack publicly proposed the concept of "new retail". Lin Yi believed that shared bicycles have no synergy with the taxi business, but there may be some points of agreement in segmented businesses such as community group buying.

As for the lack of profitability that Lin Yi despises, it is not a problem at all with the fact that Factory A has a big family and a big business.

Originally, even if Factory A had an idea about Mobike, it couldn’t buy it directly due to the existence of Wanli Travel, but it was different because Lin Yi proposed it himself.

It is not the style of Factory A not to eat the meat that is delivered to the mouth.

Lin Yibu has been working on this game for a long time.

To be honest, after the taxi-hailing war ended, Lin Yi was already very limited by Factory A, so there was no need to be so scruples about Ma Jieke's attitude.

But he still works hard to maintain a good relationship with the other party, so that when needed, he can borrow the power of Factory A like he did against Zhang Yiming this time.

Lin Yi didn't want Mobike, a money-losing product, and handed it over to Factory A in a decent way, in exchange for their understanding of Musically, which was a good deal.

This wave is called everyone's joy.

Chapter 610 Life is a farewell

When Lin Yi returned to the capital, it was just in time for the senior sister's farewell dinner.

It's a dinner party, but it's actually not that big.Originally, someone suggested that we should make a big deal to commemorate the outstanding contributions made by President Li Moyan in the past few years in traveling thousands of miles, and wish her great success in her new career.

Those who make this suggestion are obviously ignorant of the inside story.

Li Moyan refused, one is that she herself does not want to make too much fanfare, and the other is that Wanli Travel has never advocated internal entertainment, so it is meaningless to invite a group of subordinates who have little contact with them to make a big splash.

So in the end, all the senior executives and veterans of the company participated. The group of people who started the business with her and Lin Yi at the beginning, several of them were stationed in other places and only returned to Beijing to report on their work regularly. This time they came here on a special trip.

The reason why they were chosen was because they had the longest and deepest friendship with Lin Yi and Li Moyan, and many of them were her direct subordinates.

Among them, Shao Yu, Wang Yuqi, and Zhang Xiaochuan who were not present have all been promoted to vice presidents, and the rest are at least at the level of general manager of the business department and head of the region.

"Except for the company's annual meeting, it seems that there are very few opportunities to gather people together."

Lin Yi saw that he and his senior sister's original team gathered together again, and he couldn't help feeling very emotional in his heart.

"That's right. When we started our business, Lin Yi joked that we were the Thirteenth Taibao. Unfortunately, no one knew about it except ourselves."

"Now that three or four years have passed, our group of people has achieved some results and has a little reputation outside. It's just that I didn't expect that you, Senior Sister Mo Yan, would be the first to leave."

This is what Wang Yuqi said.

The relationship between her and Li Moyan has always been the closest, and she is also the one who insists on calling "Senior Sister Mo Yan" besides Lin Yi.

Hearing the sadness in the words, Li Moyan said: "It is because of your dedication and growth that Wanli Travel has reached the current situation, so I can leave with peace of mind. This is the recognition of all of you."

"But I don't want my life to be limited to this, so I hope to make more attempts."

Senior Sister's tone was as firm and powerful as ever.

Zhang Xun, who was present here, immediately joked: "What Senior Sister Mo Yan said is that with Senior Sister Mo Yan's omnipotence and the prestige accumulated here, wouldn't it be easy to reduce dimensionality and strike when crossing over into the short video industry?"

He and others are used to addressing Mr. Li, but today they changed their name to "Senior Sister Mo Yan", not because she has officially resigned from the company, but because she judged the situation based on the current situation.

Although Wanli Travel has developed to a stable stage, and all of these people are not low-ranking, but with Zhang Xun's qualifications, the current rank can only be said to be average.

Zhang Xun knew that Lin Yi didn't want to see him a little bit, and he knew the reason, but he didn't give up hope of going further.

For example, he knew that Lin Yi liked Liu Diangong's science fiction novels, so he hinted that he was also a fan when he had the opportunity, but it didn't seem to be effective.

This time Lin Yi didn't speak up either.

Of course Li Moyan knew that his words were flattery, and she didn't dare to express confidence when she switched to short music videos, but she was not timid, she just said simply:

"Every row is like a mountain."
