This incident is actually an opportunity for Wanli Travel. Because users despise Tuk-Tuk taxis, there has been substantial growth in a short period of time.
But Lin Yi and his friends were not complacent and gloating about their misfortune.
He wasn't angry either.
For Liu Qing and people like her, anger is a futile emotion that cannot harm them in the slightest.
Compared to scolding her lightly like last time, Lin Yi felt that it was too easy on her. With his current position, he should be able to do more.
"I think it's time."
None of the top management of Wanli Travel objected to his proposal, although there seemed to be little certainty in doing so. Liu Jianni asked:
"Where do you want to start?"
"Liu Qing's Xindudu has been merged twice. The ownership structure is indeed too complicated, but I think one thing is certain, that is, her most important shareholder must still be Goose Factory."
Lin Yi's judgment is well-founded. When Cheng Wei was still there, he had participated in the team building of Xiao Ma from Goose Factory in Wuzhen.
This is also the direct reason why Factory A switched to their Wanli Travel.
After Dudu Kuadu merges with Uber China, Uber’s shareholding in the new company may exceed that of Goose Factory, but Lin Yi and Kalanick have no close relationship, and their previous interactions were not pleasant.
Moreover, Uber is far away in the United States. From the day Kalanick gave up its business in China, it can’t be said to be a backer. Even if Silicon Valley still regards him as a hot potato, he is not as good as Ma Xiaoguo in China.
“It doesn’t even matter how many shares the Goose Factory itself holds now, but that its representativeness and directional significance are too strong.”
Just do what he said, Lin Yi immediately bought a plane ticket and flew to Pengcheng. This time he didn't get the rejection like he did with Majek.
"Lin Yi, are you worried about anything that requires you to see me immediately?"
Brother Ma is really generous, especially considering the unpleasant experience the two had last time in the United States. It is very valuable to give them this opportunity today.
This impromptu meeting must have affected his original schedule for today, so Lin Yi didn't waste time going around in circles.
"You must have heard about what happened in the past few days. I came here today to discuss the ownership of the taxi-hailing industry."
Brother Ma stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.
"First of all, I would like to explain how the Tuk-Tuk taxi app has been affected since the second case occurred."
"Although we can't see the backend data, according to our monitoring of peers, its order data has declined significantly in the past two days."
"Please note that the decline I just mentioned has excluded the impact of the ride-hailing business, which they claim will be offline indefinitely."
"In other words, two major safety accidents occurred in just one hundred days, which has substantially affected the reputation of the Tuk-Tuk taxi brand."
"One side of the evidence is that after the incident, the number of visits and order transactions of our Wanli Travel showed a huge increase. This has never happened when the subsidies from both parties are equal."
"Then there is only one explanation, which is that many ordinary netizens spontaneously boycotted Tuk-Tuk taxis out of a simple sense of justice."
"I'm not here today to show off that we took advantage of this tragedy, because there are still some users who have simply uninstalled all taxi-hailing apps, which means we have lost these users forever."
"Liu Qing, and the brand that is still called Tuk-Tuk Taxi, have even affected the public's trust in the entire taxi-hailing industry."
Brother Ma calmly listened to these words, and then asked: "So what do you hope I can do when you find me here?"
Lin Yizheng said seriously: "I hope you can support me, or support Wanli Travel to get rid of the bad apples and restore the reputation of the taxi-hailing industry."
Brother Xiao Ma said: "Lin Yi, you should know that even before their merger, Goose Factory could not decide anything about Dudu Kuadu alone, not to mention that after the merger, we are no longer her largest shareholder."
"you can."
Lin Yi's tone was decisive, "How did Cheng Wei get kicked out?"
Brother Xiaoma stopped talking. It seemed that Lin Yi wanted to give Liu Qing what he had done to Cheng Wei, and give her a taste of it again, and treat him the same way he did.
He thought for a while and said: "There is one starting point in your suggestion that I agree with, that is, I don't want you to engage in unnecessary competition."
"You mentioned Will's departure just now. It's not actually because we have any unspeakable relationship with Jean. It's purely because we don't want to see you continue to fight."
"You must know better than I do that the taxi-hailing industry has only developed in three or four years, and the cumulative financing amount has already reached tens of billions of dollars."
"Lin Yi, you have to understand how many investors are behind Dudu Kuadu. Even the goose factory cannot underestimate the opinions of these people."
"In fact, in our opinion, the dispute in the taxi industry should have ended at this time last year, but it was delayed for another year because of your stubbornness."
"What's the cost of this year?"
"Billions of dollars!"
"Even in my opinion, such a price is still expensive, and it is an unnecessary war."
Xiao Ma is quite polite in what he says, and Lin Yi is very self-aware. The "stubbornness" he refers to is himself.
Now is not the time to talk about this. Lin Yi immediately said: "I am definitely not here to fight for Cheng Wei."
"Pony, let me ask you to think about it. You supported Liu Qing because she could do what you wanted her to do."
"But now that Liu Qing and the entire Tuk-Tuk taxi industry have become a burden and negative equity in the industry, what reason do you have to hold on to her?"
"In these two cases, although Wanli Travel was also affected and Chiyu suffered some accidental injuries, some netizens think that those of us who make taxi-hailing software are not good."
"But there are also many netizens who appreciate the security concepts we have always expressed and adhered to with practical actions, and have voted with their feet to become our loyal users."
"You know very well that under the current circumstances, only Wanli Travel is still a clean asset, and no one is more suitable than us to clean up Liu Qing's mess."
"Pony, the outside world has always believed that they are members of the Goose Factory Clan. Won't these two incidents have an impact on your image?"
"If Goose Factory can set an example in this case and punish netizens according to their wishes, you can fully expect Goose Factory's reputation to reach an unprecedented height."
This is an angle that Xiao Ma has never imagined.
He thought for a moment and asked another question: "Can you eat her?"
Lin's eyes lit up and he said confidently: "Now and then, don't look at how famous Liu Qing was before. With her current reputation, will any organization dare to pay her in the short term?"
"The ride-hailing business is the sector with the most beautiful financial model and the strongest profitability. It must have been very tough after it went offline this time. This does not include the loss of drivers and passengers."
This time, Brother Ma paused longer, and then said:
"Last time Liu Qing was able to unseat Cheng Wei, her supporters included not only Goose Factory, but we alone couldn't have done it."
This is not rejection.
Lin Yi was very excited: "I think anyone with conscience will agree that Dudu should pay the price for what he has done."
