Chapter 180 You Have Lost

"What did Brother Ma say?"

Facing the question from her subordinates, Liu Qing just shook her head with a stern face. After sitting in the car, she closed her eyes and thought for a while. What Xiao Ma had just said flashed through her mind.

It just passed by in a flash.

Liu Qing was not one to give up easily. After adjusting her emotions, she immediately said: "Let's go, let's find the next investor."

Brother Xiao Ma's change of attitude was a major blow to Liu Qing, but she still didn't believe that Lin Yi could turn the tables in her shareholders' meeting and turn things around.

You underestimate me!

Liu Qing soon discovered that Lin Yi started this matter earlier than him, so he always followed him. It was often the shareholders who met him first and then saw him.

So where was Lin Yi at this time?

He's looking for an Uber.

Lin Yi and Kalanick only met once, and that was more than two years ago. This arrogant guy traveled thousands of miles aggressively, threatening to take at least 40% of his equity.

He didn't give me a cent.

Later, the two people had a verbal spat over the air, and spent a year or so spending money to compete with each other. Now that they are face to face again, it feels a little like they were separated from each other a lifetime ago.

It's a pity that neither of them has any leisure and leisure, and they can't have any literary feelings for each other.

It's not quite accurate to say face to face, because Kalanick has already returned to the United States, and Lin Yi doesn't plan to fly all the way to see him, so they just face each other via video link.

"Lin, I heard that you have something very urgent and you want to see me? You can say it now."

Kalanick still looks like he has bulging nostrils, but his professional attitude is still good.

Although they were both very rude when they were scolding each other before, it didn't affect their continued sit down and talk about business now.

Lin Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense to him: "You must have heard about what happened recently, right?"

Kalanick crossed his hands and nodded: "If you are talking about the recent safety incident that embarrassed Jean, yes, I heard about it."

"I regret this. As pioneers in this industry, we have a lot of security experience to exchange, and we are very happy to share it with all like-minded friends, whether it is Jean or you."

Lin Yi interrupted rudely: "You'd better keep talking to Liu Qing."

Kalanick was very dissatisfied with Lin Yi's attitude, but still asked patiently: "If it's not for this reason, then what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin has been bluntly saying: "I am promoting the merger of Wanli Travel and Liu Qing's Xindudu. You are now her largest shareholder. I hope you can support this merger."

Kalanick was not surprised by this. Lin Yi found him after searching around the shareholders. As long as he was not deaf or dumb, he should have known about it.

The Yankee is as direct as ever: "Why should I support you, or what conditions can you give me?"

"I can't give you any conditions."

Lin Yi said matter-of-factly, "You should know that although this incident happened across the ocean in the Tuk-Tuk ride-hailing business, Liu Qing's company operates your APP with the name of Uber."

"I believe you haven't forgotten, because you also made a special statement to distance yourself from the relationship."

"Obviously, you realize that having Uber's name associated with this incident in any way will only harm your reputation."

"Now that you have made such a cut, you must also understand how dangerous it was to let people like Liu Qing continue to use the Uber brand when it merged with Dudu Kuadu."

"Now it has been proven that not only has it failed to save your Uber face, but it may be dragged into the water at any time."

"If I merge it now, then your business in this region, except for the last remaining equity relationship, will really be blown away in the wind."

"I'm helping you."

Of course, Kalanick would not say thank you to Lin Yi, nor would he discuss whether his last merger with Liu Qing was right or wrong.

"As far as I know, before this accident, there was a very significant gap between your company and Jean. I doubt whether this incident had such a big impact on her. Do you really have the ability to merge her?"

Lin Yi said confidently: "I have received considerable support from shareholders. If you have any questions about this, you can communicate with them."

Kalanick found that Lin Yi's state was completely different from when they first met.

"Of course I will seek verification. Lin, I have to remind you that we can consider the matter you mentioned, but the prerequisite is that Uber's interests must be guaranteed."

Lin Yi asked nonchalantly: "What kind of guarantee?"

Kalanick said seriously: "Lin, at least all the promises Jean made to me during the last merger, including that you are not allowed to enter any market outside the mainland, you must abide by these."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "If you go to her about Liu Qing's promises to you, I have no intention of asking them one by one, and I won't take these things seriously."

Kalanick finally became furious: "Lin, you really have no business spirit at all. If you have such an attitude, there is no way Uber can promise you anything!"

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Two years ago, when Uber was eyeing him, Lin Yi was not afraid of him. Today, he is not afraid of this paper tiger that even retracted its claws.

"Kalanick, you know very well that a large number of shareholders have already supported my plan. My attempt to overthrow Liu Qing is very likely to succeed. This is the basis for our negotiations here today."

"I would also like to tell you that the reason why I am so confident is that even without your support, I will still do this and I can still do it."

"The agreements between you and Liu Qing were originally just about playing house. If it could really be done, Cheng Wei would not leave at the beginning."

"But ask yourself, even if she is the winner between me and Liu Qing, will she carry out your so-called promise to the letter?"

"Do not make jokes!"

"You have already lost here. Is it so difficult to admit this fact?"

"So put away your disgusting face. Just because I came to you today does not mean that you are qualified to be the arbiter of this dispute between me and Liu Qing. At best, you can only choose who you lose to in the end. That’s all!”

Kalanick was already shouting curse words on the other side, all the kind of words that need to be silenced during public screenings.

While spewing obscenities, he angrily scolded Lin Yi for being a villain, saying that Uber would always be strong and invincible, saying that they were unfairly competing, and so on.

Lin Yi used his fingers to pick out his ears, thinking he was farting.

"There is one more thing I would like to remind you. Based on my understanding of Liu Qing, if the Tuk-Tuk taxi brand cannot be maintained, she will not mind transferring all her business to Uber."

"In this case, do you really want to be involved with her in this way?"

"If you are really doing it for Uber, I suggest you think about it carefully, Mr. Kalanick, the idiot."

Lin Yi simply hung up the video call.
