Lin Yi hasn't been to the Bear Factory for a while.
This was not because he was alienated from his former sponsor, but because he had already experienced Majek's mentality.
That is to say, Xiong Factory has obviously fallen behind in BAT, so he can still allow Lin Yi and Xiong Factory to continue to maintain relatively close cooperation.
Can Lin Yi flirt with Goose Chang?
He had met Wang Xing in Wuzhen before and was exposed by the media. Factory A didn't say anything, but he probably had some opinions in his heart.
Because this time after Wang Xing stabbed him with a backhand, Majek reacted immediately, and his words sounded a bit like "look at who you make friends with".
But this time when he came to visit, Lin Yi was upright.
He not only informed in advance but also fully communicated with Factory A, obtained permission and authorization from the other party, and came here with an important mission.
Robin Li did not meet him alone, but brought his newly found assistant with him and made a warm introduction to both parties.
"Dr. Lu Qi, the pride of Chinese people in Silicon Valley and a true genius, has been my friend for more than ten years."
"This is Lin Yi, the founder of Wanli Travel, the fastest-rising super rookie in recent years. The key is that he is a post-90s generation, did you know?"
This was the first time for Lin Yi to meet Lu Qi.
The other person's appearance seemed quite polite and academic. Robin's statement that they had been friends for many years was true. They looked like they could get along well.
"Dr. Lu, I have long admired your name."
"Lin Yi, I heard about you when I was in the United States. Kalanick publicly said that among his opponents here, you are the one he hates the most. This may represent a kind of recognition."
"Ha ha!"
The two got to know each other quite happily. After a while, Robin Li asked:
"Lin Yi, I'm afraid you came here today not just to get to know this new friend. If you have anything to say, you might as well just tell me."
He looked open to discussion, but Lin Yi still gave it away: "I do have something important to do here today."
"But before that, I would like to hear what Dr. Lu has to say about the next development of the Bear Factory after he takes office. Isn't it an honor?"
Lu Qi and Robin Li looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
"Actually, I communicated with Robin many times before returning to China. I am deeply worried about the current situation of the bear factory and believe that it is impossible to completely solve the chronic problems of the bear factory for many years without making a determined effort."
"First of all, I believe that we must resolutely restore the reputation of Xiong Factory and completely eliminate the negative impact of irresponsible medical advertising."
"This is not only a moral burden, but also to restore users' confidence in us."
When talking about this, Robin Li's expression became unnatural, but Lu Qi on the side continued to speak firmly:
"With this lesson, I think Xiong Factory should focus more on tapping its own talents and completely distinguish the main channel from the moat."
"Xiong Factory is a technology-driven company."
"This is the foundation of our establishment. It is what distinguishes it from the other two equally famous manufacturers and its unique value and role in the domestic Internet ecosystem."
"To be honest, Lin Yi, I admire you very much, but not in terms of your flexibility in jumping between several major manufacturers in the past few years in order to fight for taxis."
"I appreciate even more the reason and composure you showed after winning this battle. You did not become blindly arrogant because of your temporary gain."
"You took the initiative to shrink the battle line, which is equivalent to clenching your open palm into a fist. In my opinion, this is increasing rather than reducing your own strength."
Lin Yi expressed his gratitude for his praise. Although Lu Qi was only the second-in-command of the Xiong Factory, he was fully qualified to evaluate Lin Yi's actions based on his status in the world.
But having said that, Lu Qi is certainly a talented person, but his ability to carry out reforms in Xiong Factory in such a drastic manner is inseparable from the unfavorable situation of Xiong Factory after the incident of Classmate Wei.
Public opinion crisis, business falling behind, stock price falling...
He also took orders in times of crisis.
Seeing how Lu Qi was so ambitious and ready to do something big, Lin Yi, who knew the outcome, could only silently feel regretful in his heart.
Let’s not talk about the future, now we have to complete our mission first.
Lin Yi is here to cause trouble for Wang Xing!
Since Lu Qi's idea was very different from what he expected, Lin Yi could talk about the things he had discussed with Factory A.
"Since Dr. Lu is so honest, I won't hide it anymore."
"I came here today actually as a messenger, on behalf of Factory A and Zhang Xuhao of Are You Hungry?, to propose to you the merger of the two takeout businesses."
"The war that has taken place in the food delivery industry in the past two years is actually no less intense than the taxi-hailing industry that I have personally experienced. Both of you have read Xiong Factory's reports, and the details are clearer than me."
"It has to be said that in the past competition, each group has had the upper hand. The current situation is that the combined market share of Xiongchang Takeaway and Hungry? is not as good as that of each group."
"Under such circumstances, there is no point in continuing to fight alone. It is better for everyone to join hands and fight against each group. It is still unclear who will win."
After all, Lu Qi had just returned to China. Robin Li had a clearer understanding of the general trend of the industry and pointed out in just one second:
"Wang Xing just crossed the line with you. You didn't want to pay the cost to go against him, and you also wanted to set a fire in his backyard, so you thought of us, right?"
Lin Yi smiled and did not refute.
This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with him. Of course he has a motive for being so eager to contact us, and there's nothing hard to admit.
"I admit that I have selfish motives, but this suggestion is a better choice for both of you. This is the basis for me to promote this matter. Otherwise, there is no need for you to listen to me."
"If you are willing, I can ask Zhang Xuhao from Are You Hungry to visit me personally and discuss the details of our cooperation in detail?"
Lin Yi was full of confidence in this. He knew that this matter was bound to happen, and his push only accelerated the progress a little.
He had already sent his blessing to Wang Xing in his heart: You're welcome, please accept it.
On the other side, before Robin Li could comment, Lu Qi had already stated: "I think this is a good suggestion. The O2O track is not our core area."
"I have considered making this part of the business independent before. If we can complete the integration and reduce competition, that would be the best."
Lu Qi's attitude was consistent with what he said before, and Lin Yi was not surprised by this.
Robin Li seemed to have some opinions at first, but after Lu Qi said this, he didn't speak, showing full respect.
At least for the time being.
At this point, Lin Yi has fulfilled his mission today, because he can only match the wishes, and Zhang Xuhao has to negotiate more details himself.
However, he did not leave immediately because Lu Qi had not finished speaking:
"Put aside the takeout thing, I have another cooperation I want to discuss with you."
