After Cheng Wei said these harsh words, he knew that it would be useless to talk to Lin Yiduo anymore, so he said hello to Wang Xing and left first.
So there are only two people left here. Wang Xing, as the middleman, just listened to the whole process of their negotiations breaking down, which was not beyond his expectation.
He reminded Cheng Wei early in the morning that it was impossible for Lin Yi to give up now. Cheng Wei knew this, but still insisted on giving it a try.
That's what business is like. If you give up trying because you think there's little hope, then what else can you do for your career?
Many successful people simply persisted longer than others.
After Cheng Wei left, Wang Xing reminded him: "He is probably rushing back now to attack your launch in the capital. Aren't you going to go back and discuss it with the others?"
He had already figured out that Lin Yi must have decided to make a taxi-hailing software when he sold the Yiyi Takeaway website to him.
As for not telling him, it must be because he was concerned about his friendship with Cheng Wei and was afraid that he would secretly inform Cheng Wei.
Wang Xing did not blame Lin for his selfishness. Being cautious in business is the minimum.
Lin Yi was not nervous after hearing what he said: "We have made all the preparations we need to make, and we will not easily mess up our position just because others have done more."
Seeing that he was so hesitant, Wang Xing naturally stopped trying to persuade him and instead asked, "Although I know you won't agree to Cheng Wei, everyone can see the fierce competition in taxi-hailing software. Why did you choose this path?"
He is different from Lao Xiong who is keen on gossiping about men and women. Wang Xing is a very curious person.
Lin Yize replied nonchalantly: "All the good roads have been taken by people, and there are only a few roads left, which will naturally become crowded. You should be the most aware of this, right?"
Wang Xing immediately understood that the school and fanfou he had founded had gotten up early in the morning, rushed to the evening market, and finally made wedding clothes for others.
Why did he choose group buying instead of online shopping? Did he not want to?
Wang Xing did not question Lin Yi's choice again, but asked: "Then how do you plan to compete with Cheng Wei? After all, he started a year earlier than you. It may not be easy for you to catch up."
Lin Yi analyzed: "Dudu Taxi has been going smoothly since occupying the Beijing market. It took the investment from Goose Factory and went south to compete with Kuadu and Dahuangfeng. It seems that it is in a state of turmoil, but it actually has a solid advantage."
"This time I will help him light up the flames of the capital. It should be enough for him to worry about for a while. As for the future, I can only say that there is still a long way to go."
Wang Xing hasn't yet figured out where Lin Yi's confidence comes from. Lin Yi naturally still has reservations, and he hasn't said anything about the most critical part.
Before Wang Xing could continue his research, Lin Yi took the initiative and said: "Having said that, I really want to ask you for help with something. Let's see if Boss Wang is willing to give up."
"Give me love, what do you want?"
There is no love-hate relationship between Wang Xing and Lin Yi, and his personal life is also very simple. His wife is an early employee of each group who started the business with him.
"I want to be alone."
After each group acquired the casual takeout website, Wang Xing and Lin Yi had several exchanges at the beginning. This was Lin Yi's first request, so he asked in a dignified manner:
"Who do you want?"
"I want your coo."
Wang Xing raised his eyebrows. The coo of each group was Gan Jiawei, the former vice president of Factory A. He was the most important executive introduced by each group besides the founding team.
This is also a legendary figure, employee No. 67 of Factory A. He once worked as a deputy section-level cadre in a state-owned enterprise. Later, he transitioned to the Internet and still worked successfully.
"Why do you want Forrest Gump?"
Lin Yi showed a mysterious smile: "To tell you the truth, Gan Jiawei used to be the boss of the China Railway Supplies Army in Factory A. In other words, he was the immediate boss of Cheng Wei and Wang Gang in Factory A. So I think he has
With blessings, I should be able to suppress the luck of taking a taxi in Dudu."
This is true.
Lin Yi felt that in the competition with Cheng Wei, he was definitely technically competent and financially prepared. Only in terms of operations, he felt that his experience was definitely not as good as that of a veteran like Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei didn't win the Beijing market for free. He used 800,000 yuan to grab it from Shake Taxi, which had raised US$3.5 million in financing.
He relies on years of experience in local marketing and an "iron army" brought from Factory A.
Wang Xing was a little nervous when Lin called Gan Jiawei's name just now, but he gave such a metaphysical reason, which made him dumbfounded.
Before Cheng Wei left, he said, "If you want to fight, then fight." Now that Lin Yi was so "superstitious," Wang Xing, who had always been rational, felt that these two were really good match.
In fact, it is not just about metaphysics. The status in the world may seem illusory, but it is a kind of personal intangible asset.
Is it the same thing if the same sentence is said by a big boss who has long been successful and by an unknown person who no one knows?
But no matter what Lin Yi's reason was, Wang Xing would not agree.
"Forrest Gump is one of the most valuable assets of every regiment. I will definitely not let him go. Besides, given his status, do you think he will agree to join you in the ring with his old subordinates?"
Lin Yikang said generously: "As long as he is willing to come, the terms can be easily negotiated. I can guarantee that he will be more generous than you in terms of equity."
Wang Xing smiled and shook his head: "This is not a matter of money, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to great lengths to hire A-Gump. Even the people under him have become wealthy and free. Do you think he can still do it after so many years in Factory A?"
Are you someone who is short of money?"
He had already figured out that Lin Yi's desire to poach Gan Jiawei was not necessarily false, but raising it in front of him at this moment was somewhat childish.
"If you really want to poach Forrest Gump, you should contact him privately instead of discussing it with me here, right?"
"Don't say I won't give you a chance. If you don't believe me, you can contact A-Gump yourself. I believe he will let you give up soon."
Lin Yi said matter-of-factly: "When an executive of his level leaves office, he definitely doesn't leave just because he wants to. If Jack Ma hadn't nodded, could you have brought him out of Factory A?"
Wang Xing said seriously: "Feng Qingyang and I both respect Forrest Gump."
The wind is clear...
Lin Yi wanted to laugh a little in his heart, the title Wang Xing was really used very carefully.
He was very self-aware and knew that with his current status in the world, he would not be able to recruit a big shot like Gan Jiawei, so he did not insist on insisting, nor did he intend to get in trouble like Wang Xing said.
"I know that Gan Jiawei is a very important person to every group, and you will definitely not let him go now. But when the day comes that he can leave, I hope you can make him consider me."
These words made Wang Xing frown, and a trace of doubt and subtle nervousness arose in his heart, as if some secrets that had been buried deep in his heart and had never been shared with others had been revealed.
However, he still insisted without changing his expression: "Forrest Gump once said that each regiment would be his last full-time job, so I'm afraid you are having a wild dream."
Lin Yi was unexpectedly relieved. He smiled and said, "Just think of me as being whimsical."
After talking about this topic, Lin Yi quickly said goodbye and left, while Wang Xing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, observing the high-rise buildings outside, watching Lin Yi's back leaving the office building.
