Chapter 28 Battle of Shencheng

Liu Qing left.

She talked with Lin Yi and her senior sister for a long time. Of course, Lin Yi mainly chatted with her, and they didn't seem to talk about anything serious until they left.

"What is this person here for?"

Li Moyan felt that Liu Qing came out of nowhere. He never directly stated his intention from the beginning to the end, as if it was really just a chat between friends.

She didn't hear it, which didn't mean she was short-sighted. It's just that the senior sister didn't have the experience of the other party's game like Lin Yi.

"This matter starts with taking a taxi from Dahuang Peak."

"Senior sister, do you know why Cheng Wei suddenly thought of joining forces with Kuadu Taxi to give up the acquisition and isolate Dahuangfeng Taxi and let it exit naturally?"

This statement seems abrupt if asked alone, but it becomes obvious when combined with the context.

"Is it related to her?"

"That's right."

Lin Yi said with certainty, "This is Liu Qingchu's idea. In other words, we previously thought that we, Dudu and Kuadu were the only three parties bidding for Dahuang Peak, but in fact she also exists."

"Of course, my saying this doesn't mean that she is the mastermind behind it. I guess she didn't know about the existence of Wanli Travel before, or she didn't take it seriously."

"Our acquisition of Dahuangfeng was an unexpected result for her. It shows that her observation of the industry has been very flawed, so she came here to see us today."

Lin Yi originally thought that he had the broadest vision when it came to taking a taxi in Dahuang Peak, but now it seems that at least he has not discovered Liu Qing's existence.

He believed that Cheng Wei definitely didn't reveal himself to Liu Qing, and maybe he didn't even reveal it to Lu Chuanwei, who was Kuai Du.

In short, everyone has their own interests and motivations, as well as their own blind spots and limitations.

Li Moyan also made an inference after receiving the information given by Lin Yi:

"Liu Qing does not want Dudu and Kuadu to acquire Dahuangfeng, or to rush to acquire Dahuangfeng and raise the price and thereby harm their interests, but her position is not against a specific company."

"Reminiscent of what she just said, what she means is that if there is only one player left in the taxi-hailing industry, then the outcome of market competition has already been determined. And Goldman Sachs is optimistic about the prospects of the industry, so they can invest money.

It’s time to cultivate the market.”

The senior sister said a declarative sentence instead of a question. Now she was sure of the other party's purpose.

"In other words, Goldman Sachs doesn't care who the winner is in the ride-hailing industry. He just wants to share the monopoly profits."

"But since they all have a monopoly, there are probably many people who are willing to pay the money. Why choose Goldman Sachs?"

What the senior sister didn't think about was actually not complicated at all.

"Investment is not fortune telling. The core of the financial industry is about resources, and the core of trading is profit distribution."

Lin stopped at one o'clock: "But for the time being, we don't need to consider these things. Considering the current development stage of Wanli Travel, it is still too far away."

"Liu Qing is not a riddler. The reason why she did not tell us these words directly means that we have just caught her or Goldman Sachs' eyes, rather than being truly optimistic."

Li Moyan understood something, but did not intend to express any opinions. According to the division of labor between the two, Lin Yilai was responsible for all matters related to capital operation.

"Is there anything special about this person? Your attitude towards her seems a bit unusual?"

The senior sister was always very perceptive, and Lin Yi himself didn't even notice anything unusual in his behavior, but she had already noticed it.

Liu Qing is still working as her banker at Goldman Sachs, and is neither a Tuk-Tuk taxi coo nor a CEO. Lin Yi has no intention of pretending to be a prophet in front of her senior sister.

So he just said: "This woman is Liu Taishan's daughter, and we will have many opportunities to deal with her in the future."

"Her appearance at least reminds us that the situation of traveling thousands of miles is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface, and we still have a long way to go."

Of course Li Moyan knows who Liu Taishan is, but the main business of Taishan Group is

As someone who assembles, I don’t see how it has much to do with the taxi-hailing software industry.

She didn't worry about whether Liu Taishan's daughter would have anything to do with dealing with Liu Qing in the future. She habitually chose to believe it.



After getting rid of the uninvited guest Liu Qing, Lin Yi did not leave Shencheng immediately. He first asked his senior sister to return to Beijing to take charge, while he himself stayed in the city he had just captured.

Beijing and Shenzhou are top priorities and must be guarded by each of them, and Lin Yi believes that Dudu and Kuaidu will not let him take the Dahuang Peak without any expression.

Although Li Yongjin left with his two partners, most of the middle-level cadres of Dahuangfeng Taxi were retained by Lin Yi.

Especially since the Shencheng team was basically intact and maintained its combat effectiveness. After discussing with his senior sister, Lin Yi selected Shao Yu from among their most trusted people to serve as this crucial city manager.

For the time being, he will continue to operate under the name of Dahuangfeng Taxi, aiming to firmly defend his position as No. 1 in the Shencheng market.

This is what Lin Yi values ​​most.

In other cities, it was much simpler. The two parties merged directly. In terms of personnel appointments, Wanli Travel was the main one, with the original Dahuangfeng team as the assistant. The senior sister rushed back to the capital headquarters to avoid any mistakes in the process.

Dahuangfeng Taxi also has a large scale in Yangcheng. The happiest person about this is naturally Mo Qing, who is there. After the merger, the share of Wanli Travel is rapidly approaching that of Dudu and Kuaidu.

Lin Yi is not only busy digesting Dahuangfeng Taxi, but is also planning to open another wave of maps and enter a batch of new cities.

However, his plan was not implemented yet, Dudu's counterattack took the lead.

Cheng Wei went to war without declaring it, and directly stepped up promotion efforts in Shanghai. It seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in people's hearts after Dahuangfeng Taxi was merged.

Lin Yi would never allow this to happen.

Dahuangfeng Taxi's team in Shanghai was originally larger than Dudu's. Lin Yi retained this group of people and injected funds to compete with Dudu.

There was nothing new in his methods. He just spent money to rob the driver and passengers, and scattered a lot of money. Lin Yi didn't care and was determined not to let Cheng Wei succeed.

Shanghai is a very interesting place. It is a paradise for petty bourgeoisie in the minds of many people. The locals pride themselves on the so-called Shanghai-style culture.

People in Shanghai are very particular about their accent.

Dahuangfeng Taxi is the first taxi-hailing app to be launched in Shanghai and treats Shanghai as its headquarters. Many people in Shanghai support it as a "local brand" preconceivedly.

In other words, there is a group of core users that Dudu is very difficult to pry away. Not to say it is invincible, at least it will cost more effort and cost.

This is the reason why Lin Yi retains this brand in Shanghai.

In any case, Dudu's sneak attack in Shanghai did not achieve its intended goal. In addition to continuing to follow up to avoid falling behind, Kuaidu also opened up new battlefields elsewhere.
