Lin Yi went out on this trip and met two important people, Liu Chiping and Cheng Wei. He also pretended to be a ghost in front of Wang Xing and told his senior sister all these things when he returned.
Li Moyan was an insider before he set out, and he was not surprised by the result. It would be strange if Lin Yi agreed to Cheng Wei.
"Are you sorry you didn't find Gan Jiawei?"
After Lin Yi came up with this idea, she told her senior sister that if Gan Jiawei really came over, she might have to give up her position as coo, which she didn't mind at all.
"I can't talk about regrets, I just think about it. Wang Xing put so much effort into poaching Gan Jiawei, so I didn't waste time looking for him."
"Gan Jiawei is able to achieve today's status in the world because he made the right choice more than ten years ago. If we start walking on a prosperous road now, how can we know that our achievements will not be higher than his in more than ten years?"
"But senior sister, the operational matters will inevitably fall on you. It is a heavy burden to carry out so many things."
Li Moyan just answered with "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", and there was no need to say more due to the tacit understanding between the two.
Then they exchanged information on their dealings with the transportation committees of Beijing and Peng. At least for now, there is no problem in launching their taxi-hailing app in Beijing.
At the same time, the senior sister said that the manpower preparations had been completed. In accordance with Lin Yi's request to "fill up the office", a large local promotion team was recruited with their original Thirteen Taibao as the backbone.
As for Wang Kai, the development of the app is nearing completion and is undergoing final testing. As for connecting to Goose Factory for payment, it can be completed before it goes online.
Everything is ready now.
The next few days were uneventful. Cheng Wei, who left Wang Xing in a hurry that day, did not take any measures. Lin Yi guessed that he would at least wait until his side went online before taking any action.
It is worth mentioning that school has started again, but this matter has little to do with Lin Yi.
Apart from temporarily living on campus, he and his senior sister don't seem to take their status as college students too seriously.
Even the Thirteen Taibao under them had to give up their studies tactically. For this reason, they even informed the school through Professor Li Feifei.
As for Lin Yi's roommates, they were already used to it that he started his second business after just one summer vacation, so they had a quick meal to celebrate.
On this day in early September, the opening ceremony of Pengcheng Wanli finally arrived on time, in the office Li Moyan found near Xier Banner.
In fact, the senior sister questioned the necessity of this ceremony at first, but Lin Yi felt that it was no longer necessary or possible to start a business secretly for the second time, so she simply made a big splash, and it didn't cost much money.
The people attending the scene were mainly Bailaihao employees under Lin Yi's current command. In addition to the technical department headed by Wang Kai and the functional departments such as legal, financial and administrative manpower that the senior sister had recruited before, the operation department was the most numerous and powerful one.
Today's ceremony was mainly held for them, so Lin Yi gave an inspiring speech with great emotion:
"Dear colleagues:
Welcome to join Pengcheng Wanli. I am honored to announce that today this new company, which my senior sister and I have high hopes for, has opened.
Some of you have met me for the first time, and some of you have accompanied me and my senior sister on another unforgettable journey in the past year.
But no matter when we meet, I promise that from today on, my senior sister and I will treat you as our most trustworthy comrades and partners.
This is a particularly young team, and therefore particularly energetic and high-spirited.
We named this company Pengcheng Wanli, which is not only a spur to ourselves, but also our best wishes to every participant.
As everyone knows, our first step will start with an app called Wanli Chuxing. From this office or this office building, we will go to the entire capital.
And soon, we will go to more cities and further places, bringing our technology and services to more people.
We will embrace the ideal of using technology to change the way 1.4 billion people travel. We will implement our mission step by step and in accordance with our vision.
Students, I hope to change the world with you!"
Regardless of whether they were infected by Lin Yishu or not, the employees in the audience all responded with a round of warm applause to save face.
After Lin Yi gave a speech to his subordinates, he began to entertain the guests present.
There was only one important person, Liu Jianni, who was the financial backer in her last round of entrepreneurship. She personally came to the scene and chatted with Lin Yi for a few words.
"You didn't tell me until you opened the business. It seems like you don't plan to take my money?"
Liu Jianni's tone was still relatively light, but Lin Yi still explained to her very seriously: "You know that we have fallen behind compared to our competitors, so we have no plans to spend time on early financing, but we may still need Mr. Liu's help in the future.
support."
The last cooperation between Lin Yi and Liu Jianni could not be called full trust, but in terms of results, it was still a happy cooperation. With the subsequent help, Lin Yi now regarded her as a friend.
He didn't want to waste his good relationship with Liu Jianni. Pengcheng Wanli might still be able to use her in the future.
Liu Jianni didn't care. If Lin Yi really came to her with this project, she would have to weigh it carefully. As for today, she attended purely as a friend.
"I find that youth is a disguise for you, but you are actually much more mature. Don't worry, you can come to me at any time if you need financing later."
She also said very reasonably: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to talk to me. I'll go talk to Mo Yan. I'm quite curious about you, my senior sister."
There are actually no other important guests today.
Lin Yi notified everyone he could think of. Except for Liu Jianni, Wang Xing found someone to send a congratulatory gift. Professor Li Feifei just made a phone call to express his congratulations.
However, he also received two unexpected gifts, one from Goose Factory and one from Dudu Taxi.
As for the other people at the scene, they refer to the media reporters he hired, most of whom he had contacted through Liu Jianni before to promote him.
So after he left Liu Jianni to his senior sister to entertain him, he went straight to the group of reporters, who naturally asked questions competently.
"Congratulations, classmate Lin, I didn't expect to see your second business venture so soon. I saw at the door that Goose Factory also sent you a gift today. What is your relationship?"
If Liu Chiping agreed to invest, Lin Yi would inevitably brag a lot, but now he can only tell the truth:
"We and Gouchang are mutual business partners. After the Wanli Travel app is launched, it will be connected to Gouchang Payment."
This statement made the reporters a little disappointed, but it doesn't matter, there is the next question.
"Also, I saw that everyone in the city takes taxis. Have you notified them of your opening? Aren't you supposed to be competitors?"
Of course, Lin Yi did not inform Cheng Wei. He did not know whether it was Goose Factory or Wang Xing who revealed the information, but that was not important.
He guessed that Cheng Wei was not trying to show his kindness, but that he might have noticed him, or was giving a warning like "Be careful."
But it doesn't matter, the relationship between the two parties is here, and it is impossible to turn hostility into friendship.
Of course, Lin Yi would not leak the conversation in Wang Xing's office that day, so he just showed a well-trained smile to reporters, showing a few teeth just right.
"Actually, I am very good friends with Mr. Cheng from Dudu Taxi. We have many surprisingly similar views in the field of online taxi-hailing..."
He kept his expression very good while telling lies with his eyes open.
