To be honest, his curiosity was really aroused. If he insisted on not submitting, who would jump out to suppress his disobedient grandson?
After landing, the group checked into the Hilton Hotel in Seattle in an orderly manner.
Lin Yi didn't panic at all. He ate happily, took a walk around the hotel to eat, and then returned to the room and took a shower.
Until now, no one has approached him. In fact, there are some people in this visiting group that he is very interested in, such as Brother Dong from the dog factory.
But now that he knew that this trip was not that simple, he had no intention of going out to play a familiar social game.
Lin Yi was very patient. He knew that since Cheng Wei could say that without any scruples on the plane, the other party would come to him soon.
However, he did not wait for anyone's call. Instead, he waited until an inexplicable alarm sounded inside the hotel building.
He didn't understand the situation at first, so he called the front desk. Unexpectedly, the other party said it was a fire alarm and asked him to go downstairs to a safe place immediately.
That’s fucking outrageous!
Lin Yi complained endlessly in his heart. A well-known hotel where so many important people were staying together actually had a fire alarm sounding at this time?
He instantly imagined conspiracy theories like dozens of episodes of "Mission: Impossible", but he still followed the instructions and ran out honestly.
After all, if a reborn person accidentally dies in a hotel fire, he will be ridiculed by his peers.
When Lin Yi ran out, he looked around carefully, and then found that there were no sparks or smoke in the corridor of the hotel, and there was no sign of fire.
Run first, after all, it will be too late when the fire gets bigger.
Lin Yi's inexplicable escape journey was not thrilling, and could even be called dull, until the door of a room in front of him was hurriedly opened, and Cheng Wei, who had been with him before, ran out.
He didn't know that Cheng Wei lived here before. Just when Lin Yi was about to invite this guy to go downstairs, three more people ran out of the room one after another.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Cheng Wei is so strong that he can fight one against three, the three people who came out of his room are not some fire-breathing girls.
It just so happened that Lin Yidu knew him.
The three of them, including Cheng Wei, were stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Yi. Lin Yi reacted first, pointed in a certain direction and said:
"This way."
In the event of a fire, you cannot take the elevator and walk downstairs through the safe passage.
Several people seemed to have woken up from a dream, so they followed Lin Yi and retreated from the corridor to the first floor, without any further accidents.
After confirming that it was safe, the few people had time to look at each other. Although it was just a false alarm, they still felt a little embarrassed just now, and they looked at each other for a while.
This awkward silence did not last long. Soon the hotel staff came over to apologize and said that no fire was found. It may be that a guest smoked and triggered the alarm. Now everyone can go back to their rooms to rest.
At this time, the three people who ran out of Cheng Wei's room exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of them spoke:
"Lin Yi, come too."
Lin Yi did not refuse. After all, he had been waiting all night, but he did not expect that this scene would happen so dramatically.
So a group of five people returned to the room they just stayed in. After entering, Lin Yi discovered that he had misunderstood. This was not Cheng Wei's room at all.
This is Robin Li's room.
Yes, Lin Yi all knew the three people who just ran out behind Cheng Wei, and the most familiar one among them was naturally his sponsor father, Robin Li.
Next is Brother Xiao Ma. This tycoon once took the initiative to invite me because he was mediating the subsidy war.
Finally, there is Ma Jieke, who calls himself Feng Qingyang. I am afraid that everyone in China does not recognize his face, but Lin Yi has never had any direct contact with him.
After returning to the room, it may be that this closed space brought a sense of security. Without the feeling of being watched by a large crowd, they all felt more at ease.
The two Boss Ma winked at Robin Li, who then spoke:
"Lin Yi, since you happened to see us, we have nothing to hide. We originally planned to come out this time to have a talk with you."
"Before the fire alarm happened just now, Cheng Wei was reporting to us that he proposed a truce to you on the plane, but you still rejected it."
"Lin Yi, we have communicated many times during this period. Other investors, including Wanli Travel, have come to me to discuss the future of the company with me."
"Everyone is playing their cards right now, so we don't have to avoid Cheng Wei being here. Let's talk about some things openly."
"Wanli Travel currently spends an average of US$160 million per month, and Dudu Kuadu's expenditure will only be above this amount."
"We, to be precise, myself and the two President Ma, we all believe that this situation is meaningless and should not continue."
"More than 300 million US dollars per month. This kind of spending speed was simply unimaginable when we started our business. What can we do with it?"
"This is not the first time we have talked about these things. I will say this. I hope you can reconsider Cheng Wei's suggestion."
"Hey!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. He was laughing at his own miscalculation and naivety.
The people in this room, the two named Ma, were both Cheng Wei's backers, which was not surprising. The only thing he didn't expect was that Li Robin would "change sides" so quickly.
It seems that his position is far more flexible than he thought.
"Are you guys giving me an ultimatum here? If I refuse, will you all cut off all payment interfaces for Wanli Travel?"
Brother Ma on the other side said: "Of course not, none of us are joking about our business reputation."
"But Lin Yi, the three of us here today to discuss the matter between you and Cheng Wei are not trying to force you to do anything, but we hope to see a result in the taxi-hailing industry."
Lin Yi smiled again, this time because at least they didn't use any dirty tricks, so he wouldn't have anything to worry about.
"Let me tell you frankly in front of the three of you. What Cheng Wei gave me was not a proposal to cease the war, but a letter of persuasion to surrender..."
"Peng!"
Lin was only halfway through what he said when he was interrupted by Majek slamming the table. His figure was always thin, but he was waving his arms fiercely.
"Otherwise, what else do you want? What qualifications do you have to refuse Wanli Travel now? Isn't it enough to give you a step up?"
"You just have hundreds of millions of dollars in your account that you haven't spent yet, and you won't give up until you run out of money. But is that your money?"
"You have to figure it out clearly, that's the fucking money of the Bear Factory, the investor's money, not the fucking money you use to play house!"
"Young people, don't be ignorant of the heights of the sky!"
After he finished his anger, as if he was possessed by the momentum, the room became audible, and there was an eerie silence for a while.
Then Lin Yi spoke.
"Today, two Ma bosses and Robin, who I have learned a lot from before, came to give me guidance. As a junior in the industry, I am flattered."
"I don't know if this kind of treatment is unprecedented. It's probably unprecedented. After all, there don't seem to be many people like me who are ignorant of current affairs."
"Three world-famous giants have all gone to great lengths to persuade me, a humble person like me. How can I be lucky enough to have three people serving me?"
Lin Yi's tone was actually very calm, but the four people over there frowned because the words did not sound like they were going in the direction they expected.
