Chapter 3 The Capital of the Thirteenth Taibao Society
Gu Caiwei's debut also increased Lin Yi's sense of urgency to a certain extent, allowing him to focus more on his second entrepreneurial venture.
As expected, Li Moyan didn't stay at home for too long. Two weeks later, he returned to the capital to join him, along with a group of people who arrived at the same time.
Lin Yi and his senior sister met them at a familiar barbecue stall near the school, and greeted each other warmly:
"Shao Yu, Wang Yuqi, Zhang Xun..."
That's right, these are the team members that Lin Yi and his senior sister had when they first started their business at Yiyi Takeout.com, and now they have reunited under their command at their call.
Of course, not everyone showed up. Among the dozen or so people Lin Yifen paid for when the group broke up last time, a total of thirteen actually came today.
The remaining few invariably refused to return on the grounds of "having family matters" and "concentrating on their studies." Lin Yi had no intention of caring about whether it was true or false. His principle was to get together easily and not force it.
In short, these people who came today are all in high spirits, and Lin Yi and his senior sister will definitely regard them as their confidants in the future.
Lin Yixin thought: There are eighteen Arhats in Majek. Will these people here today have the chance to be called the Thirteen Taibao in the future?
It seems that it depends on yourself.
Zhang Xun, a boy with a lively personality, was the first to speak: "Brother, you said you would definitely come back, and everyone was waiting for it. I didn't expect you to come back without even having a summer vacation!"
Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Why, haven't you had enough rest at home?"
Zhang Xun immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "How could it be possible? To be honest, after going through the hard work of starting a business in my freshman year, I only relaxed for a few days at home. After a long time, I felt that my body was getting rusty!"
Regardless of whether he was telling the truth or not, Lin Yi was still satisfied with the high morale he showed.
The reason why I chose to use this group of people instead of recruiting from the public was that on the one hand, everyone had an appointment in advance, and on the other hand, I also liked their young mentality and their drive to dare to fight.
Zhang Xun asked again: "Where is Brother Li? Where did you send him?"
The Brother Li he mentioned was Li Jianguo. These people didn't know that Li Jianguo went to South Korea to find a girlfriend. Of course, Lin Yi would not spread his privacy everywhere, so he simply said:
"Jianguo won't be with us this time. It's just me and my senior sister. In addition, before you come back, we have recruited some team members and will introduce you to them another day."
Zhang Xun was a little surprised, because among Lin Yi and the others in the "Trident", he was most familiar with Li Jianguo. Lin Yi and his senior sister were obviously closer to Shao Yu and Wang Yuqi.
Others didn't think as much as he did, and didn't pay special attention to Li Jianguo's departure. After listening to Lin Yi's words, Shao Yu asked:
"What are we going to do this time?"
When Lin Yi and his senior sister called them back, they didn't tell them the details of their business venture, but they happily went to the appointment.
"This time we are making a taxi-hailing software. My senior sister and I hired a technical team from Xiong Factory. The app is expected to be launched on time in early September, so I am calling you back now."
Most people didn't have much idea when they heard this. They just meant to fight wherever they wanted. However, Shao Yu was a thoughtful person and asked:
"Ride-hailing software? The competition in this market seems to be very fierce. News reports say that it is about to enter the era of oligarchy."
It seemed that he had done a lot of homework during this period. Lin Yi nodded approvingly, and then explained to them:
"Our era is no longer the ancient era when gold was everywhere on the Internet and you could make money at will. Any industry with potential will be fought over. This is not surprising."
"Let me tell you about our future opponents through Shao Yu's words. In the era of oligarchy you just called, there are only three major players, not counting ourselves."
"Dudu Taxi, the founder is Cheng Wei. He used to be a salesman in Factory A. Last year he went out alone and now ranks first in the Beijing market and the national market."
"Kuaido Taxi was founded by a young man named Chen Weixing, but now he is at the helm.
CEO Lu Chuanwei came back from Silicon Valley in the United States."
"There is also Dahuangfeng Taxi in Shanghai. The entrepreneurial team of this company comes from tudou.com. The direct reason why they came out to go it alone is that tudou.com was merged by Youku Video, a subsidiary of Factory A, in March last year."
"The current pattern is that Dudu takes taxis to firmly control the capital market, and then goes south to fight with the other two companies. It has already invaded Lin'an, the base camp of Kudu, and Shencheng, the base of Dahuang Peak. The latter is crucial, so it has been
We are playing the Three Kingdoms Period."
Lin Yi simply introduced the current industry structure and did not go into too much detail with them. For example, he omitted to mention the respective financial backgrounds of the three.
There are actually other taxi-hailing apps on the market, but in Lin's eyes they all look like dead bones in graves, so he ignores them all.
Taxi-hailing software actually still has a "route dispute" between taxis and private cars. There is no need to let them know about this. In short, the mainstream taxi-hailing software is now competing on the taxi track.
The others digested the information given by Lin Yi for a while, and then Wang Yuqi asked: "In other words, the first thing we need to face when going online in the capital is Dudu Taxi?"
"That's right."
Lin Yi affirmed: "The national taxi market stock is about 1 million to 1.1 million vehicles, and there has been almost no increase in the past few years, because the taxi industry relies on licenses to operate, which is a non-renewable resource."
"How much of it does the capital account for? Seventy thousand!"
No further explanation is needed, others have fully understood the importance of the capital.
When Lin Yi graduated from high school, he decided to come to Beijing to develop, not to study, but to start a business.
Because here not only has the most concentrated intellectual resources and the best financing environment in the country, but it is also an irreplaceable key market!
Young people are inherently easier to incite, but the others became a little excited when they heard this, and Zhang Xun asked eagerly:
"Brother, just tell us what you need us to do!"
Lin Yi was not polite and directly assigned tasks to them: "When you were doing takeout before, you all had experience in local promotion, and most of them were city managers, so this time I will let you follow my senior sister in operations."
"Previously, senior sister has recruited a group of operational staff and sent them to investigate the market in Beijing. During this period, I will share the situation with you. You can also do your own homework."
"I need you to come up with a very specific promotion plan for Beijing before the app is launched, and then resolutely implement it."
"I won't be entangled with the capital for too long, so I will only give you a month."
People who react quickly will recall the promise Lin Yi left with his random teams from various places when he heard this: "I will definitely come back."
After finishing the request, Lin Yi specifically reminded: "There are two points to make. The first is that although you are still students at school, I will not accommodate you this time."
"How you balance work and study is your own business. My requirements for your work will not be any different from other employees. If you can't adapt, I have no choice but to apologize."
"Secondly, starting a business this time will only be more difficult than any food delivery website, but the rewards will definitely be more generous than the last time. It depends on whether you have the ability to take it."
He finally looked at these young faces and asked loudly: "The operation team of Dudu Taxi was brought out by Cheng Wei from Factory A, the famous China Railway Supply Army. Do you dare to work with them?"
