Lin Yi did not directly agree to Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng's request for money.
First of all, funds of this magnitude are no longer a small amount of money. Even if Lin Yi already has a charter in mind, he still has to discuss it with people in the company.
Secondly, if you agree too quickly, the other party will not cherish it. You can try to grind them down a little bit more.
There is another reason that is inconvenient to say. Lin Yi knows that the shared bicycles are going to overturn, and he is already ready to find a scapegoat for him to take over.
Therefore, Wanli Travel will not lead the investment alone in this round.
The reason is also readily available. It would be quite stressful for one person to raise such a large amount of financing, and it would not be conducive to risk diversification.
So he found Factory A.
Although Majek is a bit narrow-minded, he seems to be quite accurate in judging people. His first reaction was to doubt Lin Yi:
"With such a great opportunity, you are actually willing to let us, Factory A, come in?"
No matter what, I am loyal!
Lin Yi almost wanted to have Ma Jieke disemboweled, but of course he finally convinced him with reason:
"You can afford to travel thousands of miles with this money, but the crux of the problem is that Goose Factory personally invested in the little yellow car. If Mobike only has thousands of miles of travel, I don't think the brand is enough."
Needless to say, the grievances and grievances between Factory A and Goose Factory were not revealed for a day or two.
They are each other's most loyal fans, and they never tire of causing trouble for each other. They do nothing to benefit themselves but only harm others.
The feeling of falling in love and killing each other.
Majek was still not convinced, so he smiled and said, "You kid must not be telling the truth."
Lin Yiyi pretended to be convinced and admitted honestly: "In terms of Mobike's business model, I think there is a link that cannot be separated from the support of Factory A."
"Mobike requires a deposit of 299 yuan before using it. The deposit for the small yellow bike is 199 yuan. Now both sides have accumulated a very large amount."
"Putting this money there is a big temptation for them, so I think it would be better to simply return it to users than to let Mobike see that they can't eat it."
"It just so happened that Zhi Fubao was promoting credit points. It is completely free of deposit at this level. I think this will be the competitive advantage of Mobike compared to small yellow bikes."
This time Majek believed it.
We are all people who can't afford to be early if we don't have any advantage, so we still have to show the real thing.
What Lin Yi said about this matter was true and false. It was also a beneficial and harmless thing for Factory A, so he agreed.
What Lin Yi didn't know was that Factory A had already been itching to watch the popularity of shared bicycles in the past two years.
However, among the two leading companies, Xiaohuang Bicycle has returned to its rival Goose Factory, while the other Mobike belongs to its own camp, Wanli Travel.
Even if Lin Yi doesn't look for Ma Jack, Factory A might soon come looking for him.
…
Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng didn't know that Lin Yi had found a stronger backer for them.
Although they were not depressed when they left Wanli Travel, they were always a little disappointed and failed to achieve the desired results.
Wang Xiaofeng cheered: "I don't think Lin Yi's tone is serious. Wanli Chuxing probably still wants to lead the investment. He just wants to get more conditions."
"It seems that we will have to rely on others even more in the future, but there is nothing we can do about it. We here rely so much on Wanli travel, and we don't know what the little yellow car is like about the goose factory."
"Anyway, let's come back next time."
Hu Weiwei is actually not that weak and needs his comfort.
"I thought about Xiaofeng for a moment. Since Lin Yi has pointed this out, it will be inconvenient for me to flaunt my name as the founder in the future."
"And he's right. You are the CEO of the company now. Me hanging around all the time can easily cause confusion or misunderstanding to others, which is not conducive to your establishing prestige and carrying out your work."
"As a start-up company, our time is still too short, and there are many shortcomings in management. It is normal for him to have opinions."
Wang Xiaofeng was greatly moved by these words.
Hu Weiwei was sensible. Because he did not want to intensify the conflict between the two people, he deliberately did not mention the matter pointed out by Lin Yi.
Wang Xiaofeng's idea is that as long as Hu Weiwei doesn't mention it, he won't take the initiative to mention it.
If Lin Yi is still upset when you go next time, then find a private opportunity to negotiate with Lin Yi. Spending such a small amount of money in exchange for team stability within the company is worth it.
You can't just follow Liu Qing and fire Cheng Wei, right?
Every company will have internal friction to a greater or lesser extent, resulting in some unnecessary but necessary "management costs".
Wang Xiaofeng almost didn't tell Lin Yi what he said, otherwise Lin Yi would not approve it.
He is not denying the importance of team stability, but is it too much to be so invested in this kind of thing at this stage?
So what Lin Yi means is that Mobike raises money too quickly and spends money indiscriminately.
But Hu Weiwei got it wrong.
Lin Yi had no grievances with her, so of course he wouldn't be targeting her specifically, and given her age, he couldn't have any other intentions.
Hu Weiwei thought of a possibility.
She used to be a reporter. Although she worked in the automotive section, she naturally knew some colleagues from other sections, such as the entertainment section.
"Tell me, Lin Yi just mentioned that Xiaohuangche hired Lu Han. Could this be a reminder for us to also hire a spokesperson?"
Wang Xiaofeng asked in confusion: "What do you mean, who do you want to invite?"
He didn't expect that the problem was because he didn't understand the situation, so Hu Weiwei gave him some popular science.
"I talked to my former journalist friend that the girlfriend of Lin Yi, the boss of Wanli Travel, is the popular female star Gu Caiwei. She is very beautiful and has become very popular in the past two years."
"At the end of last year, the top male idol named Kris Wu had a conflict with them in Haojing. It was probably because of jealousy, and he was beaten up on the spot."
"This is not over yet. He was sent to prison again a few days later. Some people saw him kneeling to Gu Caiwei to beg for mercy before he was taken away."
Kris' house collapse is the hottest entertainment news this year, and this will definitely be heard by some.
Wang Xiaofeng then remembered that when they first got to know Lin Yi, they had read about his scandal in the documents, but it was just a piece of gossip and they didn't expect it to be useful one day.
"Is this reliable?"
Hu Weiwei said resolutely: "I'm 100% sure that the news has spread throughout the entertainment industry. After that, male celebrities will avoid Gu Caiwei when they meet her."
After Wang Xiaofeng accepted this fact, he was still surprised: "Can't you see that Lin Yi is so cruel?"
On the contrary, Hu Weiwei thought it was normal: "If you are just in your early 20s, you are already the richest man born in the 1990s, in charge of a US$50 billion company, and your girlfriend is a big star, what kind of temper will you have?"
Wang Xiaofeng was right when he thought about it. If it were him, it would have expanded to the point of no end.
He originally thought that using Gu Caiwei as a spokesperson to please Lin Yi seemed a bit far-fetched, but after hearing what Hu Weiwei said, he actually felt that it made sense.
Think about it, Lin Yi abandoned a well-known idol just for her. If this flatterer is really successful, it would be reasonable to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, right?
At least I can say a couple of nice things.
Wang Xiaofeng still has a question: "Why doesn't he ask his girlfriend to be his spokesperson?"
Hu Weiwei replied matter-of-factly: "Although they have had an affair, they haven't admitted it publicly yet. If Lin invited her, wouldn't she be cheating?"
Wang Xiaofeng didn't know much about things in the entertainment industry, but he was finally convinced by what Hu Weiwei said.
