Chapter 168 Who is the enemy of the world's heroes
Lin Yi finally understood the whole story, but he still had one doubt.
"I wonder if Mr. Cheng came to me specifically and told me this without reservation. Does he have any hope for me or Wanli Travel?"
"I don't know either."
Cheng Wei gave an unexpected answer. He thought about it and then added:
"Although I am no longer the CEO of Kuaidu, Liu Qing did not kick me out. In fact, I left as soon as the results of the shareholders' meeting came out."
"I was in a very complicated mood and was wandering around the company aimlessly. I walked downstairs to you unknowingly, and then by some strange coincidence decided to come up and see you."
"I know I can't hide this from you, so I don't have to hide anything from you. I just told you some more details."
"As for what I hope for you, I can't tell you right now."
Cheng Wei's confusion was normal. He had originally been in contact with Lin Yi as the CEO of Dudu, so when he suddenly lost this identity, he inevitably felt at a loss.
"But I think that if there is one person who can, or I am willing to share this matter with, it must be you."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Thank you very much for Mr. Cheng's kindness. This news is still very important to me. Knowing it in advance will give us more time to react."
】
"Looking at Mr. Cheng's goodwill, I would like to remind you that this news will not be announced so soon. During this period, you will still have the opportunity to interact among the shareholders of Dudu Kuaidu."
Of course Lin Yi knew that this chance was very slim.
Since those investors have decided to support Liu Qing in doing something so outrageous as firing the founder, they won't change their minds for a while.
For his part, Mr. Yu hoped that Cheng Wei and Liu Qing could have a more violent quarrel in the company, and even make it more ugly in public.
Personally speaking, he personally does not want to see someone like Liu Qing take charge of the largest taxi-hailing app in the country.
"It's not necessary."
Cheng Wei is obviously very clear about his situation, "I have worked with Liu Qing for so long, and I know that she is an impeccable person. It was not until I became her enemy that I understood what it felt like."
"You may sound a little ridiculous, but I still think I know Liu Qing so well."
"When she told me that she was going to remove me, I did have doubts and felt as if I had never understood her."
"But after what happened, when I look back now, I realize that everything was actually foreshadowed."
"I didn't misjudge Liu Qing, or this is what the Liu Qing I know can do. It's just that I was limited by my experience in the industry and there were few such precedents, so I subconsciously avoided this kind of thing.
It’s just a possibility.”
"I do look forward to revenge against Liu Qing, but she won't give me this chance."
"And I will not accomplish this goal at the expense of Dudu Taxi. I am very sure that my feelings for this company that I founded must be greater than hers."
"So if you hope that the fight between me and Liu Qing will affect the company's operations and then benefit you, I'm afraid you're making a mistake."
"But I did figure out why I came here to find you."
After talking so much, Cheng Wei seemed to be much more relaxed than at the beginning, and even gave Lin Yi a rare smile.
"Lin Yi, I said before that I have a hunch that the winner in this industry will be between the two of us."
"Now this premonition has not disappeared, but has become stronger."
"Although I can't give any reason now, and I have no intention of making any wedding clothes for you, I do feel that you are more likely to be the one to clean up the situation than Liu Qing. This can be regarded as a prophecy."
Lin Yi is not a psychologist. He doesn't want to analyze whether Cheng Wei's sympathy is sympathy or some other effect. He is still grateful for this report.
"Let me lend you some good words."
…
Lin Yi didn't know if Cheng Wei had any more overt and covert fights with Liu Qing after he returned. Based on his understanding of Cheng Wei, he shouldn't be able to break his fighting spirit so easily.
But just like Cheng Wei said, at least they didn't make this matter known to everyone.
There were many insiders about this matter, and although the parties involved kept it secret, it slowly spread within the industry.
There was no movement at all from the media.
I don’t know if they have no information or if they have already collected hush money from Dudu Kuadu, but in short, no information at the company level has leaked out.
Whenever this matter is announced, whether it is "The founder is out and Cheng Weicheng is the second leader of the Qiao Gang?" or "The situation in the capital has changed and the senior investment banking department veterans have collectively dismissed their classes," it will not be good news for the company.
So Liu Qing didn't do that at all.
Shortly after Lin Yi and Cheng Wei met this time, Dudujiu and Uber suddenly joined forces to announce that the two parties had reached an agreement to merge.
Uber's previously split branch responsible for mainland business will be fully integrated into Dudu Kuadu, while Uber's headquarters in the United States will become one of the shareholders of the new company and send a director.
After the merger, the president and CEO of the new company will be Liu Qing, the former president of Dudu Kuaidu, and she will also become a member of Uber's board of directors.
Suddenly, all eyes were focused on these two companies, and the influx of media was overwhelming.
"What is the relationship between the two companies after the merger?"
Liu Qing spoke to reporters: "Although we have completed the merger with Uber at the company level, we will currently operate both Uber and Uber brands at the product level."
"On the team, we will integrate the strengths of both Uber and Uber. We are very experienced in this. We have already demonstrated it once when we merged with Kudu, and achieved very good results."
"In terms of business, Uber and the new company are also on the same page and are inseparable, and all our users can communicate with each other."
“Overseas Uber users can still use our products in China, and our users can use Uber directly overseas.”
The reporter asked: "In other words, they have almost given up their previous alliances with Lyft and Grab and switched to cooperation with Uber, right?"
Liu Qing said: "Our original cooperation will not be abandoned, but I think it should be understood this way. With Uber's leading position in the global market, we are providing customers with more high-quality and convenient overseas taxi services."
The reporter is also a human being, so he no longer dwells on this. He just added another question: "What position will Mr. Cheng Wei, the former CEO of Capital City, take after the merger? I don't see it mentioned in the announcement."
Liu Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he said warmly: "For personal reasons, Will will retreat behind the scenes after the merger and will not hold any position in the new company."
"Of course we are very grateful for all his contributions to the company. The future development of the company depends on the solid foundation he has laid."
"After this merger, our new company will have the localization team from Dudu and Uber's international vision. I believe that this new company will go further."
