Chapter 5 Your backyard is on fire
Pony is Xiao Ma Ge’s English name.
Given Liu Chiping's position in the Goose Factory, not all investment decisions must be made by Brother Ma. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy to receive a salary of several hundred million a year?
But he specifically mentioned Brother Xiao Ma at this moment, which meant to emphasize to Lin Yi that Goose Factory's choice of Dudu on the taxi-hailing track was unchangeable.
fuck!
Lin Yi knew that he was not that generous, so he had no intention of persuading Gouchang to give up taking taxis and switch to him. From the beginning, he just wanted Liu Chiping to make more bets on his thousands of miles of travel. For a large company, such a job
Double insurance is not expensive.
However, Liu Chiping did not feel this was necessary.
After all, the situation in the taxi-hailing industry is different from that in the group-buying industry. Goose Factory turned its attention to Dianping.com after Gaopeng.com was eliminated, while Dudu Taxi-hailing currently ranks first in market share.
Lin Yi's app hasn't been launched yet, and he has nothing to say in terms of business, so he has no choice but to use Cheng Wei's A-factory background to try to alienate him, but it seems that Liu Chiping, who grew up in Hong Kong and was educated in the United States, doesn't want to accept it.
This is the whole "heart-killing" thing.
Lin Yi really couldn't show Cheng Wei's strength. In his previous life, he had never heard of the harsh news that he would always take a taxi and backstab the Goose Factory.
It's a pity that Goose Factory is well-known in the industry as the best candidate for the financial backer, so Lin Yi was the first to go to Pengcheng to pay homage to the dock.
Regret is regret, Lin Yi had thought about it again and again before coming, and this result was not unexpected.
"Mr. Liu, if I have the chance, I hope to meet Brother Xiao Ma and explain to him the differences between our long-distance travel and taking a taxi in Dudu."
Brother Xiao Ma couldn't just meet him if he wanted to. Although they were in the Gouchang Building, Lin Yi didn't expect to meet him today.
Sure enough, Liu Chiping did not agree, nor did he reject it outright. He just said: "If there is a chance, I will introduce you to Pony."
This was obviously a polite remark, but it left an introduction. Lin Yi did not dwell on this topic anymore and continued:
"Mr. Liu, I'm here today. I actually have another cooperation project that I want to discuss with Goose Factory."
Liu Chiping found that this young man adjusted his mentality very quickly. He could come up with a new cooperation plan immediately without getting investment from the goose factory.
"Tell me."
Lin Yi first foreshadowed: "Just this month, after the latest version of WeChat was released, the Goose Factory payment function was added. Am I right?"
Liu Chiping nodded, already guessing 80% of it.
Just listen to Lin Yi say: "Echang has just entered the third-party payment market, and it must be expanding its own channels. I hope that our Wanli Travel can access the payment method of Gochang."
Liu Chiping had to admit that this young man's response was really fast, because Gouchang Pay was only launched on August 5, and even Dudu Taxi is still being connected, and it is not expected to be available until next month.
Not only did he notice it, he also took the initiative to come over and discuss cooperation.
Although I just rejected him on the investment issue, this matter is not non-negotiable.
Liu Chiping knew that third-party payment would be the direction that Goose Factory would push hard in the future, and with Factory A’s Zhifu Bao at the forefront, Goose Factory actually did not have full confidence that it could surpass its rivals’ years of accumulation.
To a certain extent, the reason why Goose Factory invested in taxi-hailing is also based on the decision made based on this payment strategy.
So at this time, Lin Yi proposed to connect to the Goose Factory for payment, which was a completely beneficial thing for the Goose Factory. He felt that the young man who came to his door looked more handsome.
As for Dudu Taxi, allowing Lin Yi's app to be connected to Gouchang Pay will not have a substantial impact on the industry structure. If there is any good thing, they will of course stick with their own Dudu.
To say the least, Cheng Wei was not qualified to give instructions to the goose factory, and Liu Chiping did not think he had the obligation to explain to him.
"I can't answer you right away about the payment business, but I personally think this matter is feasible. I will let someone contact you after we communicate internally."
As Liu Chiping, saying this is equivalent to agreeing.
The two of them finalized their intention to cooperate in just a few words. As for the details of the contract and how to connect them technically, the people below will naturally implement it. There is no need for the two of them to talk about it all here.
After talking about this matter, Lin Yi took the initiative to say goodbye and left without waiting for Liu Chiping, who had precious time and precious time, to serve tea to see the guests off.
When taking the elevator downstairs, Lin Yipan calculated the gains and losses of today's trip. Although he did not get the investment for the first target goose factory, the payment of the goose factory was settled, so it was not a gain.
Of course, the goose factory payment is just one leg of his expectation, and he does not intend to put all the eggs in the same basket.
If he became dependent on Goose Factory, Lin Yi was afraid that when he and Dudu were having a fierce taxi fight in the future, Goose Factory might give him an unforgettable stab in the back.
Since the goose factory refused, his next target is his hometown, Factory A in Lin'an, and he must visit it.
In fact, in terms of financial strength, Factory A is not inferior to Goose Factory, so why are everyone more willing to take money from Goose Factory?
Because Factory A’s desire for control is too strong.
Take Jack Ma's favorite martial arts as an example. Little Ma from Goose Factory is like the honest and honest Guo Jing. You only need to acknowledge his status in the world and shout "Martial Arts Leader".
Ma Jieke is like Zuo Lengchan, who is all over the place. Respecting him as the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains is not enough. He has to merge the Five Sacred Mountains with you and turn your leader into the leader of the hall!
How overbearing is Factory A?
When Cheng Wei, who left his job to start a business, wanted to raise funds, the first person he approached was his old employer, but he was declined by Factory A, which had already invested in Kudu. However, they refused to give him any money and even gave him a message:
"You are not allowed to take money from the goose factory."
Cheng Wei had this scruple, so he didn't readily agree to the goose factory at first. It was only after Xiao Ma Ge personally came forward to persuade him that he made up his mind.
And it turned out that his concerns were right.
After Dudu Taxi accepted the investment from Goose Factory, Cheng Wei and Wang Gang severed all ties with their old employer and were even banned from the circle of retired employees, the so-called "Factory A Alumni Association."
In any case, the money from Factory A was not something that Lin Yi could just take. Based on the lessons learned from the Goose Factory this time, he felt that he needed to make a careful calculation.
In the end, even though Goose Factory had rejected him, he still insisted on connecting to Gouchang Pay. It was not that he was in a hurry against Goose Factory, but that the payment method would become a focus in the taxi market.
Does being rejected by the goose factory mean that we will never have any contact with each other again?
no.
After Lin Yi went out, he took another look at the 193-meter-high Gouchang Building. There was still a long time for everyone to interact with each other.
…
Liu Chiping was not a chatty person. After Lin left, he immediately started arranging the payment at Goose Factory with Wanli Travel.
Goose Factory, one of the three giants, is already a well-deserved "big factory". Ordinary business lines are reported at many levels, but Liu Chiping, as the president, naturally the things he explains are different.
language.
As a result, before Lin Yi left Pengcheng, he received a call from Gouchang Payment to discuss the interface with Wanli Travel, so he handed the matter over to his CTO Wang Kai.
Lin Yi arranged this trip at this time because he knew that no matter whether the Goose Factory reached an agreement or not, there would be a side effect.
Just as he expected, after Liu Chiping explained the payment to the goose factory to his subordinates, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, he told the person directly:
Chapter completed!
