Xie Shihuang did not intend to continue discussing this issue, but directly put aside the previous ones and started asking: "Lin Yi, do you know why I am willing to see you today?"
As soon as Lin heard this, he knew that today's trip might not be able to fulfill his wish, but he couldn't turn around and leave, so he had to listen silently.
Xie Shihuang didn't pay attention to his reaction and said to himself: "Wang Xing recommended you to me. He thinks you are a young man with great ideas and potential who is worthy of my meeting."
"I have noticed you. Before each group acquired your food delivery website and entered the industry in a big way, you did a lot of work on the board of directors, and Factory A is his most important shareholder."
"You should know that each group's ability to stand out among the fiercely competitive group buying websites is inseparable from the support given by Factory A."
"I also handled the strategic investment in each group. What I mean by saying this is that if Factory A can support one group, it can support more groups."
“In the taxi-hailing software market, since Factory A has chosen Kuadu Taxi, Kuadu Taxi will definitely win and have the last laugh.”
Lin Yi didn't know if Xie Shihuang really felt that way, or if he said it deliberately to emphasize Factory A's momentum.
Just now he thought Lin Yi was arrogant, now it was Lin Yi's turn to laugh at his arrogance in his heart.
Factory A is now convinced that Mi Tuan and Wang Xing are their loyal Ma Zai and will teach them how to behave in the future. Lin Yi has no intention of revealing the secret to him now.
After all, it can be found from the exchange just now that Factory A is very insistent or stubborn about its own opinions, and even if it is said to the other party, it will not be taken seriously.
"Mr. Xie, I'm afraid I disagree with this."
"There's no need to be harsh, Lin Yi. You clearly know that Factory A has already invested in Kuaidu Taxi, but still finding it here today shows that you know the power of Factory A very well."
Xie Shihuang seemed to have misunderstood his attitude, and added an example to enhance his persuasion:
"I might as well tell you that Cheng Wei and Wang Gang of Dudu Taxi are both old subordinates of Factory A for many years. When they started their business, we were the first people they approached. But because we had invested in Kudu, we did not invest again, so
Do you think you have a closer relationship with Factory A than they do?"
Lin Yi naturally knew that there was little hope, but he had to give it a try anyway.
Now that the words have come to this, Lin Yi has temporarily given up the idea of finding Factory A as a backer. He replied:
"So later they took the goose factory's money."
Xie Shihuang's face darkened. He didn't know whether he was secretive about the word Goose Factory, or he was still worried about Cheng Wei and Wang Gang's "betrayal".
"That just shows that the goose factory is their second best option. Of course, even if they take the goose factory's money, it will be in vain."
"Taxi-hailing software is actually also in the o2o field. What Goose Factory is good at is just games and social networking. Only Factory A can exert the greatest strategic synergy."
"Do you still remember the name of the group buying website supported by Goose Factory in Thousand Regiments War?"
At this point, Xie Shihuang felt that the weight might be enough, and he finally came to his conclusion: "Lin Yi, actually I have another suggestion."
"I can introduce you to Lu Chuanwei and Chen Weixing from Kuaidu Taxi. You might as well sit down and have a chat. From the perspective of Factory A, I don't want you to consume each other. Industry integration is the general trend. In this case, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.
.”
Lin Yi laughed to himself. He prepared for a long time before running here to find Factory A for investment, but he was rejected flatly.
Unexpectedly, the other party was still thinking about letting him take a taxi with Kuadu to negotiate. Of course, Lin Yi understood that the so-called "industry integration" was just annexation.
Cheng Wei was like this, and Factory A is also like this now. Could it be that he had left a deep impression on Wang Xing when he sold the Yiyi Takeaway Network to Wang Xing?
In any case, Lin Yi stated very firmly: "Mr. Xie, the emergence of Wanli Travel is not the result of my impulsiveness, but a carefully considered choice."
"This career has just begun now. I have no intention of giving up halfway easily, and I will not give up in the future."
Xie Shihuang advised again: "This does not mean giving up your career."
"Just now you mentioned a team that all takes taxis. You must have known about it for a long time, but you and I have completely opposite views."
"Lu Chuanwei and Chen Weixing are both very cooperative people. This is exactly what I appreciate most about their team."
"Chen Weixing took the initiative to step down and make way for Lu Chuanwei. This kind of mind and magnanimity are very rare, especially for young entrepreneurs."
"The two have cooperated very well since Lu Chuanwei took office. You may think that the conflict between them is just wishful thinking. In fact, the management team of Kuaidu Taxi has been united sincerely and there has been no major disagreement."
"It is precisely because of this foundation that I think you can definitely have a place in Kuaidu. You should try to consider this matter with an open mind."
Lin Yi knew very well how the taxi-hailing software market would develop without his own intervention. He didn't even accept the olive branch offered by Cheng Wei at the beginning, so how could he get on Kudu's ship now?
"There are so many talented people now that I can take a taxi. I don't think I will join in the fun."
Xie Shihuang heard his refusal, so he didn't intend to waste any more words: "In this case, we have to find out in the market. I think this will be a regret after traveling thousands of miles."
In short, it won’t be Factory A’s regret.
Lin Yi did not refute, but made another small request before Xie Shihuang served tea to see the guests off: "Mr.
cooperating."
"Wanli Travel currently only has access to Gouchang Pay. I hope to be able to access Factory A's Zhifubao at the same time. This should be no problem, right?"
A Factory started out as an e-commerce and online shopping company. Zhifubao appeared much earlier than Goose Factory. In the early stages of development, it played an important role in building a bridge of trust between buyers and sellers. It can be called the big brother of third-party payment and even the Internet financial industry.
The application scenarios of Zhifubao are of course much wider than that of Gouchang Payment, but Wanli Travel is not lacking.
However, Xie Shihuang did not intend to use this to embarrass Lin Yi. After all, this is not a bad thing for Factory A.
He did not go overboard and handle the matter without authorization, but directly sent Lin Yi to the Zhifubao Business Department to find the rightful owner.
What’s interesting is that Cheng Wei’s last position before leaving Factory A to start his own business was the deputy general manager of the Zhifubao Business Unit.
In this case, Lin Yi's visit to Factory A will not only be known quickly, but I'm afraid it won't escape Cheng Wei's eyes and ears.
This point did not cause any obstacles to what Lin Yi wanted to discuss. The two parties quickly reached an agreement, and naturally someone followed up and implemented it later.
Lin Yi didn't know that Xie Shihuang's evaluation of him was overestimating his abilities, but when he walked out of Factory A, his first impression of this contact was:
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
