Ordinary Road 2010

"Should I call a lawyer?"

"No need, let them go back, this is not something that lawyers can solve, let them spend more time on explaining Chinese characters."

That being said, Li Moyan actually didn't pay much attention to it. The lawyers handling such a high-profile case would be very attentive without having to explain it.

After sending those lawyers away, Han Xue came back and couldn't help asking, "Mo Yan, have you ever thought about how long you'll be stuck here?"

Li Moyan didn't answer, but she had an answer in her heart.

Han Xue sighed secretly and asked again: "Do you want to tell Lin Yi about this?"

"Tell him, he needs to anticipate Muse's situation and possible dangers, and prepare as much as possible."

Chapter 657

Lin Yi's life during this period was very regular.

He spends about half of the time in Shencheng every week as the interim CEO of Muse; the other half of the time stays in Beijing, dealing with the affairs of Pengcheng Automobile, and sometimes listening to reports from Wanli Travel.

Shao Yu occasionally rushes from Yuezhou to Shanghai to report to him. As the production base is nearing completion, production matters are also on the agenda.

As for Gu Caiwei, if it was convenient for her to work, she might follow her to Shencheng, but most of the time they still met in the half week in Beijing.

After a period of fermentation, the matter of the senior sister has been fermented. In addition to her being almost world-famous, the influence on Muse has also gradually stabilized.

Fortunately, Muse's previous extremely strong growth momentum has not been interrupted, and it is likely to win the honor of "the fastest APP in history to exceed hundreds of millions of monthly active users".

After Lin Yi took office, he didn't do anything, and slightly adjusted the development direction of Muse.

He temporarily lowered Muse's over-reliance on the single investment in the North American market, and asked the team to open up the situation in other markets around the world as much as possible.

Muse's subordinates are also beginning to get used to his new boss, and because they deliberately avoid mentioning the senior sister, it seems that they have collectively forgotten this person.

In short, things are going on in an orderly manner. If it is not for the senior sister who still cannot come back, I can almost say "the years are quiet".

Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the progress of the lawyers in Canada. Instead, he asked Mr. Zong, who was here last time, about the progress every now and then.

There is still a little luck in his heart, maybe this time things will develop differently from the one that only he knows about?

But with the passage of time, this hope is gradually dimming.

Because Mr. Zong couldn't give a clear answer for a long time, he repeatedly apologized on the phone, and Lin couldn't blame him once he knew about it.

It's really not that simple.

It was at this time that Lin Yi learned the news during his daily phone calls.

"The Yankees came today."

His heart trembled, although the senior sister was trapped in Canada, the whole world knows who is the instigator of this incident.

"How to say?"

"They proposed that an American company take over Muse's American business, and they pretended to give a list, but I rejected it."

Although he knew this was the result, Lin Yi was still very moved by his senior sister's determination.

But the senior sister didn't want to make him feel emotional: "The other party threatened that if they don't sell Muse to them, they may face a ban in the United States."

"I tell you this to remind you that Muse must be prepared. In the worst case, it will directly lose this market. Under this premise, it will continue to maintain its business and services in other parts of the world."

"When I was there, it was already separated separately. What needs to be done now is isolation and protection."

Lin Yi replied two words: "Bandit."

After all, he is not a guy who only complains, and immediately said: "I have long been mentally prepared for this, even if it is not foolproof, but I will definitely not be sniped, don't worry."

It's okay to explain this matter here, of course Lin Yi doesn't need to teach by hand.

In fact, he already knew what it was that framed the senior sister this time, because he had seen her true colors more than others.

But after it was confirmed, it was inevitable that monstrous anger would arise.

Anger is the emotion of the weak.

Lin Yi knew that this was essentially because of his powerlessness, if he could break the shackles on his senior sister at any time, he wouldn't have to bear it at all.

At this time, he could only say: "I will take care of this matter, and then return the Muse to you intact. This is the only thing I can do."

The senior sister was keenly aware of this emotion: "Lin Yi, what you do is very important, otherwise I wouldn't entrust the Muse to you in advance before these things happen."

Lin Yi didn't hide it either: "I understand that I just felt lost and at a loss for a short time after being forced to admit my limitations. In fact, I have already adjusted myself."

"When I was in Hong Kong City, this feeling sprouted in my heart, but it was diluted by the joy of Wanli Travel's listing."

"I once thought that I had gone a long way on the expected path, and this is indeed the case for personal destiny."

"But when I saw that place, I realized that I was still so insignificant about the fate of a city and the future of a country."

"And what happened to you now is another confirmation, making me re-examine my position."

Perhaps only the senior sister who is familiar with him can understand his thoughts at once.

"Lin Yi, you are not a superman."

"We often overlook this when we are full of ambition, thinking that we are omnipotent, and thinking that the fate of the world is to be conquered by us."

"The truth is, the world is too big for us to be in it."

"I'm not Superman either."

"In the face of all this that happened to me suddenly, of course I also panicked."

"Han Xue asked me if I had considered how long I might stay here if I rejected them. This is not my home, so I naturally considered it."

"But I always believe that people should do something and not do something."

"Lin Yi, I never expected you to be able to rescue me like a god descending, and I hope you don't have such expectations of yourself."

"Because what we do is not something that can be achieved by one or two people."

"This accident, on the contrary, convinced us that we are on the right path, and all we need to do is to persevere."

"During the period after I came out, I had the opportunity to read a lot of comments on the Internet."

"I saw countless people supporting me, even though we didn't know each other, and they didn't know who I was."

"But they knew that what I was doing was meaningful and valuable, so these strangers were generous with their inspiration."

"Lin Yi, did you see it?"

"It's not you, and it's not that I have any supernatural ability to move mountains and seas, and move stars. These long rivers formed by thousands of people are our source of strength."

Sure enough, Senior Sister is still Senior Sister.

Lin Yi was not surprised to hear these words from her mouth, and took it for granted: "Thank you, I should have been the one to encourage you."

The senior sister shook her head and said, "There is no should or shouldn't. People who are in the same heart are comrades. People who are on the same road support each other are called should."

"Lin Yi, I have the answer to Han Xue's question."

"I'm ready. I'll be trapped in this limited world for the rest of my life. I can only talk to you in this way. I won't see you again in this life."

"I am willing to defend what I think is worth defending with such determination, and I hope you will do the same."

Lin Yi lowered his head, then smiled and said, "I understand."

Chapter 658

After receiving the senior sister's determination, Lin Yi decided to show it.

Now that the other party has unabashedly revealed his covetousness for Muse, it's time for him to respond.

He went to Marjack.

"You mean to say that we hope that our factory A can take a stake in Muse?"

Ma Jieke looked at Lin Yi with a look of caring for the mentally handicapped, as if he had told some ridiculous joke.

The development of Muse this year is obvious to all. Of course, it is a very high-quality investment target, but the problem is that Goose Factory has already invested in it.

That's right, it was because Lin Yi had entered both the Goose Factory and the Bear Factory that Lin Yi came to him.

"I know that some time ago, the fund under your name invested in Byte and had a little cooperation with them, but this does not prevent Factory A from continuing to participate in the financing of Muse."

Zhang Yiming is a person who is very good at introspection.

Last time he suffered a disadvantage in bidding for Musically. At that time, he told Lin Yi that he wanted to learn how he handled the relationship with the big factory, and then turned around and flirted with factory A.

On the one hand, this is because Byte’s current business core is e-commerce Factory A has no conflicts, and on the other hand, because both Goose Factory and Xiong Factory are on the side of its opponent Muse.

What Lin Yi said was true, there is no need for big manufacturers to choose sides, but those below need to choose sides.

"Whether we voted for Byte or not is completely different from whether we voted for Muse. Don't you know that?"

Of course Lin Yi knew that since Ma Jieke himself didn't mind poking him open, Lin Yi would stop playing sloppy with him.

"I know you are very concerned about the existence of the goose factory, but the fact of traveling thousands of miles shows that there is room for mutual benefit."

"Of course, I definitely don't want to teach you how to do things."

"There is also a more important and simpler thing. In fact, Muse is not worried about not being able to raise money. Whether it is Goose Factory or other investors, they waved a lot of money and begged me to accept them."

"You should know that I am not exaggerating at all. Muse is such a sweet potato, but after this incident, it is equivalent to an advertisement."

"The reason why I hope to introduce Factory A is because you are so representative."

"Muse is encountering difficulties now, but they are not operational difficulties, but artificially created difficulties. These things will not stop us for too long."

"I hope that the joining of Factory A will show that we are defending ourselves as a kind of unity."

"It's not just my personal wish."

Hearing Xiange's elegant meaning, Ma Jieke immediately understood Lin Yi's words, so he had to think carefully about it.

A major premise of this matter is that he admits that Muse is a good project.

Another thing that Ma Jieke didn't say, but what Lin Yi and he himself knew was that in fact, Factory A and Goose Factory were not so tit-for-tat anymore.

The past few years should be regarded as the peak period for the two companies to differentiate each other in the industry, represented by the crazy subsidies during the taxi war.

But in the past two years, with the changes in the industry situation, although the "A factory series" and the "goose factory series" have not disappeared, they have gradually tended to calm down.

There are many reasons for this. In short, from the perspective of the phenomenon, the fight between the two is not so fierce.

The feelings of the two bosses Ma are unknown, but at least it seems that there is no room for cooperation, so Lin Yi dared to come.

The reasons he just said are also true.

Lin Yi had previously conceived of introducing a state-owned strategic investor, but was persuaded.

After all, Muse's main market is still overseas, which is too eye-catching. Considering the affordability of foreigners, it is better not to stimulate them.

Lin Yi is not afraid of this, but considering the safety of his senior sister, he should not give others a handle for now.

Of course, this itself was also a bizarre thing, but he had to respect reality, so he dismissed the idea for the time being.

The next best thing is that he is going to gather BAT again for his endorsement.

Ma Jieke also smiled: "You boy, people say that only you are capable of combining BAT, so you decided to demonstrate it one more time to others, right?"

With his relaxed tone, it seems that there is a reason for the matter.

"The three BAT companies are the top companies in the industry, and I can't influence any of them. If there is anything I can do, it is to find common interests for everyone."

"Besides, this time, it's not for myself."

Ma Jieke did not hesitate for too long. It is worth considering whether the overseas business of Factory A will be affected by Muse.

But having said that, Factory A did not earn much money overseas, or it could not make ends meet. Maybe this time, with the blessing of Muse's explosive traffic, there will be unexpected gains.

In short, after Ma Jack, who was the most difficult to deal with, let go, the matter was seven or eight points.

Lin Yi immediately went to find brother Ma and Robin Li. They were already shareholders of Muse before, and they had nothing to say about increasing their holdings.

Since they formed a group to acquire Musically last time, they actually raised a capital in the middle, otherwise it would not be enough to support the rapid development needs of Muse.

But the rewards are also amazing.

From that time to the present, in just over a year, the valuation of Muse has increased by more than ten times, reaching about one-third of the byte.

Douyin is not the only one under Zhang Yiming.

However, because Douyin's international version of TT has been unable to start under the suppression of Muse, the crazy growth of bytes is actually hindered.
