Lin Yi met with Robin Li again. Although he had not yet revealed what he had planned, he felt that he should tell the other party about such an important decision.
Robin Li couldn't say anything against it, because Xiong Factory had been a little stressed recently.
The merger of each group with Dianping seems to have nothing to do with Xiong Factory, but the one who will be hurt the most is actually the person in front of me.
After the merger of the two companies, the structure of the group buying and takeout markets has changed greatly. Should Xiong Factory continue to advance its o2o strategy?
If you persist, how should you proceed?
There are so many things that Robin Li needs to make a decision on, which must be quite difficult for someone with difficulty in making choices.
So after thinking about it, Robin Li could only say: "The Bear Factory really can't help you any more. I already said this when we paid for the US$600 million last time."
"But if Wanli Travel can develop better, of course we will be more happy to see it happen, because after all, Xiong Factory is still an important shareholder of yours."
"As for the person you are looking for now, I can only say... Majek is not an easy person to get along with, especially since you made him lose face on the spot that day in the United States. Anyway, you should work hard on your own."
Robin Li felt a little lonely when he said this. More than a year ago, he was very excited about Wanli Travel occupying the top spot in the taxi industry. Some people even jokingly called Lin Yi his illegitimate son.
At that time, Xiong Factory's o2o strategy had just begun, and everything looked very wonderful. Who knew that the situation would quickly evolve into what it is today.
He had to admit that Xiong Factory was no longer able to protect him when he traveled thousands of miles.
"Of course, this matter has not been finalized at Factory A. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part."
"But no matter what, Robin, I still want to thank you, and thank Xiong Factory for supporting Wanli Travel and myself over the past two years or so. This is an indispensable condition for us to get to where we are today."
Lin Yi said that these were not completely superficial words, but he still had some real feelings. He was very sure that if it were not for the 100 million US dollars given by Xiong Factory, he would have been out of the game two years ago.
If you think about it carefully, Robin Li really didn't treat himself badly.
The initial US$100 million and the repeated increases in the first round of subsidy war were actually deceiving him with the intention of deceiving him.
Although Xiong Factory had his own considerations and reasons for having to follow, after all, he paid for it with real money as he wished.
The US$600 million in the last round is interesting enough. Goose Factory and A Factory alone should not support Dudu more than this amount.
As for the day when the Internet forum was in the United States, I not only lost the face of Jack Ma on the spot, but also the face of Robin Li.
But he did not feel dissatisfied. When Wanli Travel faced cyber attacks before, he stood up to help refute the rumors.
Calculating it this way, Robin Li is at least a person of good temper.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi wanted to remind him a few more words that it might not be too late to change some things about the backwardness of the Bear Factory itself, but he was immediately stopped by himself.
Do you really think he is Robin Li’s illegitimate son?
Let alone an illegitimate child, even if he is the Crown Prince of Xiongchang, who is publicly designated by Robin Li, as long as he does not officially ascend to the throne, he will not be qualified to comment on certain matters.
Besides, it's always easy to point out problems. Doesn't Robin Li know what's wrong with the Bear Factory?
It's just that a company like this, which has been established for many years, has a huge organization and a bloated structure, has complex internal relationships and intricate management. It is difficult for outsiders to imagine it unless they go deep into it.
…
After obtaining Li Robin's permission or understanding, Lin Yi followed his plan and flew to Lin'an with a ticket.
When Lin Yi landed at Xiaoshan Airport, he discovered that he seemed to have rarely gone home this year.
In fact, since the merger happened at the beginning of the year, the good days before traveling thousands of miles have ended. Affected by this, of course I have no time to think about whether to go home or not.
He didn't come here to see Lin's father and Lin's mother this time, but took a taxi directly to Factory A.
However, I don't know if it was an intentional arrangement, but Lin Yi soon discovered an interesting thing. The first person he saw in the waiting room was not from Factory A.
To be precise, it is not from Factory A yet.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhang."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lin Yi couldn't remember the last time he saw Zhang Xuhao, but when he talked about it, the other party still remembered it.
"Before you sold Yiyi Takeaway.com, we were looking for financing at the same time, and then we met in the corridor of Red Mountain Capital. Do you remember?"
Zhang Xuhao sounded quite proud when he mentioned this matter. After all, he won that round of competition.
Lin Yi didn't mind, after all, so much time had passed, but it just felt like an unexpected coincidence.
"In that case, it is fate that we two appeared here at the same time today. The scene is somewhat similar to that time."
These two people are no longer traveling together, but they are still concerned about each other's situation, so they are well aware of the purpose of their appearance here.
Strictly speaking, it is actually different, because at that time, the relationship between the two parties was either/or. Hongshan Capital chose Hungry, so it would no longer choose any food delivery website.
But today Factory A doesn’t have to make an exclusive choice between the two of them, so Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao don’t have to be at war with each other.
"The goose factory has been abandoned. Are you hungry?"
Zhang Xuhao didn't shy away from it, and there was no resentment in his voice.
"Before, Dianping and the entire Goose Factory were the most important source of funding for Hungry. Now after merging with each group, each group chose Goose Factory, so it will naturally abandon our little spare tire."
"Although it is a passive choice, every group has choices and we naturally have choices. Now it is fate that has pushed us to the side of Factory A."
He didn't seem to worry much about whether Factory A would choose him. He seemed to have already figured out the issue while waiting.
After not seeing each other for more than two years, Lin Yi felt that although Zhang Xuhao was still full of fighting spirit, he was no longer as sharp as before.
He is 30 years old this year.
Lin Yi thought of this small detail inexplicably. It seemed that the surprise prepared by Wang Xing this time had left a profound lesson for Zhang Xuhao.
"Knock knock".
Although the atmosphere between the two people was harmonious, they did not talk for long before they were interrupted by a real person from Factory A.
"Hello, both of you. Mr. Ma has time to meet you now. Mr. Zhang, who is hungry, please follow me in as instructed. Mr. Lin, who has traveled thousands of miles, please sit down for a moment."
Zhang Xuhao immediately stood up and buttoned up his suit, quickly checked that there was nothing inappropriate about his outfit, and then planned to follow the little secretary from Factory A to see Ma Jack.
When Lin Yi passed by, he encouraged him very kindly:
"Come on."
Zhang Xuhao turned around and saw that the two looked at each other and smiled.
