Before Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei's New Year's Eve trip to Haojing could take place, they went to another water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
It was his first time to come to this place, but what happened here had already had an important impact on him and Wanli Travel.
Wuzhen.
It’s the annual World Internet Conference again, and netizens generally pay more attention to who they eat with than what the big guys brag about here.
It was Majek who called Lin Yi here.
Factory A invested thousands of miles to travel, but it does not mean that Ma Jie Ke's grudge has been eliminated. In fact, he still dislikes Lin Yi. During this period, the communication between the two parties was completed through Cai Chongxin.
This time Majek came to Wuzhen just to regain the face he had last year.
Of course he came to Lin Yi to support himself. After all, Brother Ma was full of guests last year, so he couldn't be too deserted.
Lin rushed over as soon as he received the news. For him, he still had to cherish the opportunity to repair the relationship with the major shareholder.
This year, Ding Sanshi was the host of this game. In addition to Ma Jie Ke and Lin Yi brought by him, there were also Zhang Chaoyang from Fox Factory, Zhou Hongyi who made anti-virus software, and a passerby from Ju Factory.
A passerby is making fun of him. He must be considered a big shot in the industry, but a migrant worker whom no one has ever heard of is really dwarfed by a group of bosses.
Despite the small number of people, the lineup is quite interesting if you look closely.
Among them, Ding Sanshi and Zhang Chaoyang were both among the first batch of portal developers. The latter has lagged far behind in recent years, but the "seniority" in the circle can be counted.
Needless to say, the red-clothed leader, the vigorous 3Q battle was as popular as Brother Ma's bayonet.
Lin Yi is now quite wealthy in terms of wealth. With his status in the world of traveling thousands of miles, it is more than enough to have dinner with them at the same table.
However, he rarely interrupted. After getting to know a few people under the introduction of Majek, he focused on destroying the delicious food in front of him.
The dishes Ding Sanshi ordered were not bad.
Lin pretended to listen to their chat while eating, but in reality the words went in one ear and out the other. Fortunately, others did not insist on pulling him into the conversation.
It's not that he meant to be perfunctory, but that a spirited young man in his early twenties really had nothing in common with these middle-aged uncles.
What serious topics do you think they can talk about?
When he was drinking and changing glasses, he kept talking about "thinking about what it was like back then". The stories he boasted were all stories about the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon that Lin Yi didn't know. The most he could do was listen to gossip and gain insights.
Lin Yi is very clear about his positioning.
Today, Majek specially brought him here to counter everyone’s comments about him last year, which roughly meant:
I not only have brothers, but also younger brothers!
Sure enough, when a few people here were eating happily around the small dining table, Lin Yi discovered that someone had taken a photo of this scene.
He faithfully fulfilled his role as backdrop or mascot.
The amazing thing is that no one at this table mentioned the matter of paying the bill. After they had finished drinking and eating, they all patted their butts and walked away, as if they didn't know what was going on.
Lin Yi could only pray that the store owner would not be deprived of his meal.
Majek's face turned red after drinking some wine, but he was still conscious. Although he didn't need help, Lin Yi still insisted on sending him back.
He tremblingly pointed at Lin Yi with his finger and gave a generous evaluation:
"You're doing well today."
With such words, Lin Yi felt that his trip was not in vain.
Today, I have tried my best to help Jack Ma keep up his reputation. He has been very respectful throughout the whole process. If he didn't know, he might have thought he was his secretary.
Four words: The horse's head is looking forward.
It seems that Majek is still satisfied with this. I don’t know how his wine tastes. He won’t wake up the next morning and refuse to admit it, right?
Lin Yi said a few modest words, but secretly made malicious speculations in his heart. Fortunately, Ma Jieke couldn't hear it, otherwise he would probably fall out on the spot.
"I heard that you recently invested in a bike-sharing company, and then Goose Factory and the king of each group invested in another one?"
Jack Ma is quite well informed, and I don’t know whether he is so concerned about the Goose Factory or the King of Every Group.
"That's what happened, and I've also seen the little yellow car team they voted for. To be honest, I was picked by them because I didn't like it."
What Lin Yi said was obviously somewhat different from the reality, but Majek was very happy after hearing this and waved his hand excitedly:
"That's how it should be!"
"I'm telling you, Goose Factory is just a paper tiger. There's nothing to be afraid of. Just fight him and don't have any worries."
"If you don't have enough money, just come to me. I promise to give you a lot more than them."
Guessed it right.
Majek made a lot of body movements when he spoke and seemed excited. It may not be entirely due to the effect of alcohol. It seemed that Lin Yi had found the correct communication posture.
Unfortunately, although the bike-sharing thing was right with Goose Factory, it was not the direction he wanted to take things in. After thinking about it, he mentioned Li Bing's matter again.
"The future is indeed a very good project, and I was already excited about it."
"But when I heard that they had already taken the money from the goose factory, I immediately sternly refused, saying that I was afraid that we were not from the same group, so Li Bing had to leave with regrets."
Lin Yi said it sincerely, as if he only hated Ma Jack for not seeing him on the spot to draw a clear line between him and the Goose Factory!
When he thought about it, Jack, who was just a bicycle-sharing company, was so generous, so if he sponsored his own bike, wouldn't he have to spend 1 billion to 2 billion?
Maybe it was due to his acting skills, but Ma Jack just laughed and shook his head: "You are not the first person from Factory A to tell me that you want to build a car."
Lin Yi felt a little regretful. He knew who Ma Jie Ke was talking about. As expected, Feng Qingyang was not that easy to fool.
Unexpectedly, there was a twist and turn, and Majek made a detour and came back and said: "I know what you mean, come up with something, it doesn't matter if I throw in a little."
"The Li Bing you are talking about bought an electric supercar for Brother Ma. Even if I don't want your supercar, I can't just pay for it without even looking at the PPT, right?"
Today’s trip is here!
No wonder the boss is so difficult to serve, and there are countless people vying to post it. It's so generous to take action when you are happy.
Lin Yi didn't care whether he had deliberately suppressed it before expressing it. Anyway, he thanked him first and then talked about it.
Later, along the way, Ma Jack took advantage of the drunkenness to lecture Lin Yi on the principles of life.
"It's not surprising that you young people have extreme ideas. It's a good thing to have character, but don't be too dogmatic."
"Today's game is actually nothing. I know that you are also from Zhijiang. I will introduce other people to you someday. They are all seniors from the same hometown..."
It’s not that Majek has no friends, it’s just that his inner circle does not coincide with the industry.
Although Lin Yi agreed with his mouth, he disagreed in his heart. He could ask for Ma Jack's money, but he didn't intend to get too close to the other party's circle.
