"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Mr. Ma said he still doesn't have time, but he already knows the reason for your visit. You can just talk to Mr. Cai about this matter."
Facts have proved that his guess was correct, so this time, although Ma Jieke, who had seen the dragon but never saw its end, still arrogantly did not see Lin Yi, but sent him to his chief steward Cai Chongxin.
There is a sense of déjà vu that says “I’m upset when I see you, but I have to do my best”.
Lin Yi didn't care. After so many visits, there was finally a substantial turning point, which was enough to make him excited.
"Mr. Cai, I have admired you for a long time."
Lin Yi directly stretched out his hands when shaking hands with the other party, without hiding his excitement.
Cai Chongxin was almost startled by his enthusiastic hand, but he still gave him a steady and strong handshake with experience.
"Mr. Lin is a young hero."
The two of them didn't exchange much greetings, firstly because they were unfamiliar with each other when they met for the first time, and secondly because they both knew the current situation very well.
Lin Yidu shamelessly came to the door so many times, which is clearly his intention, and Cai Chongxin must have received instructions from Ma Jack before meeting.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have come here many times for important cooperation with our Factory A. I wonder what kind of cooperation you want to discuss with us?"
Of course it’s that kind of cooperation.
Although it can be explained clearly in one sentence, Lin Yi would not say that.
Since the other party asked knowingly, he had to answer the question: "I won't tell lies in front of Mr. Cai. I heard that Factory A is discussing the withdrawal of shares with Dudu Kuaidu."
"I think that although your fate with Dudu is over, the scale and potential of the taxi-hailing industry in the past two years is obvious to everyone. Factory A, which has always been in a high position, will not miss it."
"In this case, I think our Wanli Travel will have a good chance of cooperation with Factory A, so without any presumption, I recommend myself."
Cai Chongxin didn't care where Lin Yi knew the news from Factory A, and he didn't waste time pretending anymore. He simply pointed to the core:
"We have indeed been observing and tracking the taxi-hailing industry for a long time. Although this is my first time dealing with Lin Yi, I am confident that I have enough understanding of Wanli Travel."
"As far as I know, when Wanli Travel was just starting out, you once found the strategic investment department of our Factory A. I think you are also very aware of the strength of Factory A."
"What I mean by this is that the basis for cooperation between the two parties has always existed, but I have a question that Mr. Lin needs to answer first."
"Because this is not the first time Factory A has made a move in the taxi industry. We had high hopes for Lu Chuanwei and Chen Weixing from Kuaidu, and we spared no effort to support them."
"But the final result, frankly, disappointed Jack and me."
“Although the merger of Dudu and Kuadu was completed with our consent, it was based on the fact that Kuadu’s failure was irreversible.”
"It has been almost a year since the merger of the two companies. Wanli Travel has been at a disadvantage to Dudu Kuaidu, and now it seems that it has reached a more dangerous situation."
"In this case, Mr. Lin, how can you convince us that you still have the strength to fight against Dudu, and that we can expect a victory from you?"
Lin Yi didn't feel that Cai Chongxin was making things difficult for him. The more he asked and the higher the demands, it proved that they were really considering giving money.
"Mr. Cai, I am happy to tell you that although Uber is still a disruptor in the current market structure, neither Cheng Wei nor I regard it as a serious problem. That foreign devil Kalanick is very ungrounded."
"As for Dudu and us, although the outside world has always believed that the two companies are very homogeneous, there are fundamental differences in the business philosophy between Wanli Travel and Dudu."
"Wanli Travel has always put safety first, and I can confidently say that we are the company that invests the most in this aspect in the entire industry."
"As for Dudu, they still put competition first. Perhaps this is an important reason why they have been able to survive to this day."
"However, in the process of rapid expansion, its original hidden dangers have also been magnified. Just like if a speeding train does not stop, even a loose screw before departure may cause derailment.
risk."
"I believe Mr. Cai is very familiar with and understands Dudu's business methods, so he should be able to understand that if Dudu's business continues to develop like this, something will definitely happen."
"It's not me cursing him."
Cai Chongxin did not believe it easily. He asked: "You said that everything will have problems. This is a very accidental assumption. Even if Wanli Travel can do better than him, can you guarantee that there will be no problems at all?"
"And even if we assume that this premise is true, how can you be sure that you can live to see that day after traveling thousands of miles?"
Lin Yi replied sincerely: "I can't guarantee it."
"This is a question of probability, but it is not a small probability event. I believe Mr. Cai will be able to understand it with his knowledge background."
"Because there are tens of millions of orders generated every day based on the volume of taxis and Wanli travel in the capital, it could happen at any time."
"I'm not praying for it to happen. I don't know in what form such a problem will appear or how it is possible, but I know that although the dangers are invisible and intangible, they are there."
"As for how I was able to see that day after traveling thousands of miles, of course it was inseparable from the support of Factory A. This is exactly why I am here today."
Cai Chongxin shook his head and said: "You mean, Factory A's money was invested in you just to take a chance?"
Lin Yi has no stage fright: "Investment is a probability, whether it is for me or others, this is the same."
"But the probability that I am fighting is not the same as the probability that Factory A is fighting."
"Let me ask Mr. Cai, although the investment in Kuaidu Taxi is not successful in your opinion, have you lost money on this project?"
Cai Chongxin seemed to be touched by this sentence and thought about it in silence.
"I must correct your mistake. In your opinion, as long as you don't lose money, it is not considered a failure. In the eyes of Factory A, this is definitely not the case."
"I'm going to give you an example that you may be familiar with, because I heard that you have a good relationship with Wang Xing. When you came to see Jack on the first day, you met Zhang Xuhao in the waiting room who was hungry."
"Factory A originally invested 50 million yuan in each group, and when we exited not long ago, we got 900 million yuan. Can this be considered a huge return?"
"900 million is nothing!"
"Wang Xing returned us 900 million, thinking that this would be regarded as severing ties with Factory A. We will ask Hungry to tell him that Factory A can give far more than 900 million."
"And when he took something from Factory A, we would use our own method to make him vomit it out!"
"If you want money, that's no problem. We can take 1 billion or 2 billion. But if you take money from Factory A, you must have corresponding awareness. For example, you and Wang Xing can no longer be flirtatious."
"Can it be done?"
Cai Chongxin actually received the instruction from Jack Ma and decided to invest thousands of miles to travel.
He had been asking and asking questions for a long time just now, not only to give Lin Yi the confidence to trick Lin Yi, but also to give him a warning on behalf of Factory A.
Lin Yi's mental activity at the moment was that for every number mentioned in Cai Chongxin's words just now, the units he omitted were US dollars.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be rich.
It will make you ignore all other characteristics of this person, and only the word handsome will be left in your mind.
