He didn't have to wait too long. After Wanli Travel had just established a foothold in this city through the previous generous promotion, he came to the most important goal of this trip to Lin'an:
a factory.
In a few years, this company will not only become a business card for the entire city, but also directly have more than 200,000 employees. The lives of countless families in Lin'an are closely related to the ups and downs of Factory A.
The slightest disturbance in Factory A will cause a storm in the city. As soon as the news that its subsidiary Financial Services Group was preparing to go public came out, the housing prices in Lin'an increased overnight.
At this time, Plant A may not be as big as a tree with deep roots, but as one of the three giants, it is already lush with leaves and flowers.
Lin Yi had no relationship with Factory A before, so he contacted Xie Shihuang of the strategic investment department through Liu Jianni's relationship.
At the Goose Factory, we were communicating with Liu Chiping at least. The A Factory did not talk about Ma Jie Ke and even Cai Chongxin, which was a bit unsightly, but Lin Yi was not qualified to be picky for the time being.
Xie Shihuang is not well-known in the outside world, but he is also one of the "Eighteen Arhats". The story after he followed Ma Jack is nothing to tell, it is just that one man achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
As for his early experiences, the most interesting one was when he was unilaterally broken up by his long-term girlfriend because he only had a monthly salary of 82 yuan.
Spurred by this, Xie Shihuang, who originally just wanted to live a stable life, gave up his job in a state-owned enterprise and chose to go out to work in the world. The direct purpose is said to be to look like a human being and make his girlfriend regret it. After Factory A went public, his net worth was indeed enough to be listed in Forbes.
List.
It's a cool male protagonist, and it's a classic style of breaking off an engagement.
When Lin Yi saw him, he didn't notice any bitterness or hatred on his face, or the joy of having his revenge avenged.
Xie Shihuang obviously didn't know what random thoughts were running in Lin Yi's mind, otherwise he might have jumped up, turned around and left.
Now he just asked in a very business-like manner: "Jenny said that Mr. Lin, who has traveled thousands of miles, wants to see me. What's the point?"
Lin Yi also got straight to the point: "Wanli Travel is seeking a strategic investment, and I think Factory A may be interested in it."
Xie Shihuang had actually guessed it before they met, because other business should not find him here, but after confirming it now, he still felt that it was whimsical.
"Lin Yi, if I remember correctly, this should be our first time dealing with each other. I don't know where you got the confidence to think that Factory A might be interested."
"But I must remind you that Factory A has already strategically invested in Kudu Taxi. We do not plan to choose new targets in this industry, and this investment was finalized by myself."
Lin Yi was not surprised by this attitude, but he was not whimsical.
He has no choice.
So he insisted: "Of course I know that Factory A has invested in Kuadu Taxi, but I think Wanli Travel has advantages that Kuadu Taxi cannot match. I wonder if Mr. Xie is interested in hearing about it?"
Xie Shihuang stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.
Lin Yi knew that the person opposite him was no amateur, and he could call Lu Chuanwei and Chen Weixing at any time, so he didn't tell any nonsense to deceive investors.
“Kuaido Taxi’s team has a big problem.”
Lin Yi directly threw out the most important evidence, "Although Lu Chuanwei has become CEO, Chen Weixing has not completely let go. The relationship between the two people is very subtle."
"It seems that there is not much of an obstacle right now, but Mr. Xie, when competition in this industry becomes more intense, this hidden danger may be an important reason why Kuaidu lags behind its opponents."
"Looking at Wanli Travel, we have a very united and stable team. The only disadvantage is that it went online later. But at that time, we were in the midst of a meaningful entrepreneurship, and we accumulated valuable experience in the process."
After he finished speaking in one breath, Xie Shihuang watched him organize his words.
"I have to say, you surprised me."
"What surprises me the most is that you are very familiar with the internal affairs of Kudu Taxi, which makes me suspect that you have sent a commercial spy in the company."
"But as you said yourself, a few months ago you were fighting fiercely with Hungry? in the takeout market, and were eventually acquired by Wang Xing's Every Group."
"No matter where you know it from, I must say that your hearsay information is not enough to serve as the basis for Factory A to change its strategic investment direction."
What Xie Shihuang actually disagrees with is Lin Yi’s main premise, because he doesn’t believe how long the current competitive situation among taxi-hailing software can last.
Without Lin Yi's intervention, Dahuangfeng in Shencheng would be in decline, and it would be easy for the taxi-hailing market to enter a duopoly structure after it falls behind.
Lin Yi threw out another bargaining chip: "Mr. Xie, I have been in Lin'an for a while. Before this meeting, Wanli Travel had just launched services in Lin'an."
"We have grabbed a share from Kuaidu and Dudu. I think this is the best proof of the combat effectiveness of the Wanli Travel team."
The reason why Lin Yi didn't come to Factory A right away was because he was inspired by the failure of the negotiations at Goose Factory and believed that it was not persuasive to talk empty-handed and want the other party to invest in him.
Actions speak louder than words.
However, Xie Shihuang, who was sitting opposite him, still shook his head.
"For taxi-hailing software, Lin'an is simply an insignificant market. If you have worked so hard and spent so much money to squeeze in just to prove to Factory A that you are better than Kuai, then you may have made a miscalculation."
"To put it bluntly, whether you used to take taxis or travel thousands of miles now, it's not surprising that you can enter the Lin'an market as long as you are willing to spend money."
"Lin Yi, maybe you are very confident in your team, but this is a matter of opinion. I don't think there will be any problems with Kuaidu's team."
"In terms of entrepreneurial experience, Chen Weixing started a business in school and can be regarded as your predecessor; in terms of management experience, Lu Chuanwei's years in Silicon Valley were not in vain."
"And who do you have? As far as I know, you only use a group of school students."
There was no room left in what he said, but Lin Yi had not given up yet. He would try his best on this matter no matter what.
“Mr.
"I think a united, energetic and combative team should not just look at his background and resume."
The corners of Xie Shihuang's mouth twitched. Apparently Lin Yi's early experience in Factory A that he mentioned deliberately did not touch him emotionally.
The truest thought in his heart is: It is too arrogant to compare ourselves with Factory A. If Wanli Travel is Factory A, then who are you?
