Chapter 81: Those Who Learn From Me Live, Those Who Like Me Die
By this time, without Lin Yi's repeated explanations, Liu Jianni could understand why he was unwilling to go public in the United States.
Just when Lin was preparing for the IPO step by step, a person he hadn't contacted for a long time approached him.
"Brother Xing, I haven't seen you for a while."
The king of every group, since the online ride-hailing business was quietly launched in Jianye last year, Lin Yize promoted the merger of A Factory's Hungry?
contacts.
After all, they were equally famous as him, and they had some friendship in the past, so Lin Yi didn't put on any airs.
Since there must be something going on here, let's meet up.
"I heard that you are also planning to go public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"
In theory, a confidentiality agreement should be signed for the listing. The various intermediaries of Wanli Travel's IPO, that is, members of the "Kunpeng Project Team" should not be leaked, and the scope of knowledge must be strictly controlled internally.
However, there are too many people who know about it, and there are also those who have participated in the bidding for thousands of miles of travel and were not selected, so it is almost inevitable that the news will be leaked.
Of course Lin Yi didn't want to hide it.
The financial industry is a small circle, and there are only a few companies at this level in the Internet industry. It is only normal for Wang Xing to know about this.
What's more, he used a very subtle word "ye".
"It seems that this time, we both want to get together again?"
Wang Xing admitted openly: "I did have this idea, but I didn't make the decision as early as you. Looking back now, you should have started thinking about it when we merged with Dudu Express."
"Each group is also discussing the listing with major shareholders. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be launched later."
Hearing what he said, Lin Yi guessed which intermediary agency Wang Xing must have received the news from. They like to boast that "I have done all Wanli Travel projects".
"You didn't come here specifically to tell me the news, right?"
Except for the brief friction between the two parties a year ago, each group has nothing to do with the business of Wanli Travel, and the listing of Wangxing has nothing to do with him at all.
Wang Xing really didn't mean anything else when he mentioned this, it was just a casual chat. As soon as Lin asked him, he told him the reason for his visit today.
"Do you know about the little yellow car?"
After Lin Yi transferred Mobike to Factory A, he had already retired from the shared bicycle industry and had no intention of getting involved in it anymore.
However, as it was a hot topic in the past two years, and it was somewhat related to the travel field they were in, someone would still report to him.
What happened to the little yellow car?
All I can say is that it's a piece of cake.
Because of Lin Yi's pressure, Xiaohuangche, with the support of Goose Factory, refunded all users' deposits, and almost ran out of funds overnight.
Since the end of last year, there have been various rumors that there is a problem with the capital chain of the yellow car. The supplier has not paid the payment. It is said that even the mortgaged assets and the loan have not been repaid.
Recently, the lid can no longer be closed at all, and the supplier has directly sued the company in court. The debt crisis can no longer be hidden.
I can only express my regrets to Lin Yi, the partner and investor of the little yellow car, but he has done his best to let this thunder not explode in the hands of ordinary users.
"Isn't it a bit strange that you came to me about this matter? Don't you know that Dai Wei from the Little Yellow Car rejected me before he fell into the arms of Goose Factory?"
"Oh, there's also a part of you in the middle."
"Later, Xiaohuangche and Mobike discussed merging, but it was also because of me that they broke up with Dai Wei. I am probably the person he least likes to see in this industry, at least one of them."
"How do you think I can help?"
Wang Xing's serious look showed that he was not joking, and he immediately cleared up his confusion.
"That's why I came to find you."
"After returning the deposit, the little yellow car ran out of money immediately. Everyone knows this."
"Actually, Mobike is pretty much the same, otherwise it wouldn't have turned around and sold itself out. But in the end, it wasn't you, who had been rumored for a long time, who traveled thousands of miles, but the wealthy Factory A who paid for the US$3 billion."
"At the end of last year, Xiaohuangche began to fail. At that time, we were actually willing to help him. As long as Dai Wei can make sense, it should be no problem to continue financing."
"But he would rather take out a mortgage than accept our offer."
"This Dai Wei doesn't know what is wrong. He has made the company a mess by himself, but he still doesn't want us to put our hands in to help him."
"Now that a few months have passed, the crisis of the little yellow cars has fully emerged, and people inside are already in a state of panic."
"This car is out of control."
"At this time, we are still willing to give him a chance and propose to refer to Mobike's exit method, with each group fully acquiring the other party."
"But Dai Wei still disagrees. He seems to want to grab the little yellow cart and bury him with him."
When Lin heard him talk about the cause and effect, the first thing he thought of was: "You guys are very rich, how can you actually buy a small yellow car with full capital?"
Is this the point?
Wang Xing rolled his eyes and explained angrily: "We just got financing!"
"Let's get back to the subject. The core of the problem now is Dai Wei himself, because he has a veto power. Everyone is anxious but still unable to move forward."
"Later, Mr. Zhu from Lancangjiang Venture Capital was so angry that he cursed his mother, and then he heard a little bit of his long-hidden inner thoughts from Dai Wei's mouth."
"Do you know who gave him the courage?"
Lin Yi originally just wanted to be a melon eater, but when he thought that Wang Xing came here to tell him stories today, a ridiculous idea finally emerged.
"me?"
Wang Xing indeed nodded.
"Dai Wei has a very high self-esteem. He always feels that he is older than you, has a deeper family background than you, and goes to a better school than you. There is no reason why he should lose to you in starting a business."
"He initially chose the Goose Factory to invest because the Goose Factory offered more management but less supervision, but Lao Zhu realized at that time that he wanted to compete with you."
"Now that the little yellow car has become like this, it may be shut down at any time."
"But he still kept in mind that in 2015, you also encountered great difficulties during your ten-thousand-mile trip, and it was in turmoil."
"Dai Wei feels that the difficulties he encounters are temporary. Sooner or later, he will meet a knowledgeable boss like Factory A and save his dream of sharing bicycles."
"If Factory A hadn't acquired Mobike, it is said that he really planned to find Factory A."
Lin Yi only felt one word: "Fuck!"
He obviously wants the appreciation of Factory A with the investment from Goose Factory, but who is so generous to him?
Lin Yi himself was really dancing on the edge of a knife when he was moving between BATs. If he was not careful, he would be in jeopardy, but he had some planning and reliance.
What about Dai Wei, sincerity?
Although Lin Yi felt that this matter was outrageous, he still confirmed:
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"I don't think so. Brother Ma asked me to say hello to you."
Wang Xing knew that his friendship with Lin Yi was over, but as soon as he said these words, Lin Yi couldn't refuse.
"Okay, then you say it."
"Actually, we don't have a very specific plan. We just think that since he has unrealistic illusions because of your deeds, it might work wonders for you to stimulate him."
"What kind of stimulus?"
"You decide for yourself. Anyway, we are just treating a dead horse as a living horse."
Wang Xing made a final comment: "Dai Wei is a headstrong person with high vision and low power. He is also very emotional. It is difficult to predict his reaction."
Lin Yi complained: "There is no need to explain the word stupid in such a specific way."
