After receiving the determination from his senior sister, Lin Yi decided that he should express his determination.
Now that the other party has unabashedly revealed his coveting for Muse, it's time for him to respond.
He went to see Majek.
"What you mean is that you hope our Factory A can invest in Muse?"
Majek looked at Lin Yi with a look that cared for the mentally retarded, as if he had told some ridiculous joke.
Muse's development this year has been obvious to all, and it is certainly a very high-quality investment target. But the problem is that Goose Factory has already invested in it.
That's right, it was because Lin Yicai had joined both the Goose Factory and the Bear Factory that he came to see him.
"I know that some time ago, the fund under your name invested in Byte and had some cooperation with them, but this does not prevent Factory A from continuing to participate in Muse's financing."
Zhang Yiming is a person who is very good at introspection.
The last time he suffered a loss in the bidding for Musically, he told Lin Yi that he wanted to learn how he handled relationships with major manufacturers, and then he turned around and started flirting with Factory A.
On the one hand, this is because Byte's current business core is e-commerce Factory A and there is no conflict. On the other hand, it is because both Goose Factory and Bear Factory are on the side of its rival Muse.
What Lin Yi said is true. Big manufacturers don't need to choose sides, it's the ones below who need to choose sides.
"Whether we invested in Byte and whether we invested in Muse are completely two different questions. Don't you know this?"
Of course Lin Yi knew that, since Ma Jack himself didn't mind poking him away, Lin Yi would no longer play tricks on him.
"I know you are very concerned about the existence of the Goose Factory, but the fact of traveling thousands of miles shows that there is room for mutual benefit for everyone."
"Of course, I definitely don't want to teach you how to do things."
"Another more important and simpler thing is that Muse actually has no worries about not being able to raise money. Whether it is Goose Factory or other investors, they waved a lot of money and begged me to take them over."
"You should know that I am not exaggerating at all. Muse was such a popular product to begin with, but after this incident, it became like advertising."
"And the reason why I hope to introduce Factory A is just because you are so representative."
"Muse is encountering difficulties now, but it is not an operational difficulty per se, but a man-made difficulty. These things cannot stop us for long."
"I hope that the joining of Factory A can show our unity in defending ourselves."
"This is not just my personal wish."
After hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, Ma Jieke immediately understood Lin Yi's words, so he had to think carefully about it.
A major premise for this matter is that he admits that Muse is a good project.
Another thing that Jack Ma didn't say, but that both Lin Yi and himself knew, was that Factory A and Goose Factory were no longer so tit-for-tat.
The past few years should be regarded as the peak period for the two companies to differentiate themselves in the industry, represented by the crazy subsidies during the taxi-hailing war.
However, in the past two years, with the changes in the industry situation, although the "A Factory Series" and "Goose Factory Series" have not disappeared, they have gradually become calmer.
There are many reasons for this. In short, the phenomenon is that the two families are not fighting so fiercely.
The inner feelings of the two bosses Ma are unknown, but at least it seems that there is no room for cooperation, so Lin Yi dared to come over.
The reasons he just mentioned are also true.
Lin Yi had previously thought about introducing a state-owned strategic investor, but was dissuaded.
After all, Muse's main market is still overseas. This is really eye-catching. Considering the affordability of foreigners, it is better not to irritate them.
Lin Yi is not afraid of this, but considering the safety of his senior sister, he should not give anyone a thumbs up for the time being.
Of course, this itself was a bizarre thing, but he had to respect reality, so he gave up the idea for the time being.
The next best thing is that he is planning to gather BAT to endorse himself again.
Majek also smiled: "You kid, people say that you are the only one who has the ability to fuse BAT, so you decided to demonstrate it one more time to show others, right?"
With his relaxed tone, it seemed like there was something going on.
"The three BAT companies are all top manufacturers in the industry. I can't influence anyone. If I have any ability, it is to find common interests among everyone."
"Besides, this time, it's not for myself."
Majek did not hesitate for too long. What is worth considering is whether Factory A's overseas business will be affected by Muse.
But having said that, Factory A has not made much money overseas, or it has been unable to make ends meet. Maybe this time, with the support of Muse’s explosive traffic, there will be unexpected gains.
In short, after the most difficult thing to deal with, Majek, let go, the matter became more or less settled.
Lin Yi immediately went to find Brother Xiao Ma and Robin Li. They were already shareholders of Muse before and had no problem with increasing their holdings.
Since the last time they formed a group to acquire Musically, they have actually raised funds once, otherwise it would not be enough to support Muse's rapid development needs.
But the rewards are also amazing.
From that time to now, in just over a year, Muse's valuation has increased more than ten times, reaching about one-third of Byte.
Douyin is not the only one under Zhang Yiming.
However, because Douyin’s international version of TT has been unable to develop under the suppression of Muse, the crazy growth of Byte is actually hindered.
Instead, it was the wave of support that erupted after the senior sister's accident, and Muse almost took advantage of Douyin in the mainland.
BAT has BAT's card, and since three companies are going down at the same time, the movement must be huge.
So they pooled together US$3 billion to give Lin Yi.
After Muse got the money, Zhang Yiming probably became even more restless, but Lin Yi really wasn't targeting him this time.
When this round of financing was officially announced, a female reporter named Feng Wenqian interviewed him.
"Boss Lin, there are rumors that you are the only candidate that BAT can accept at the same time. Your appointment as CEO is an opportunity for Muse. What do you think of this?"
Lin Yi smiled very humbly.
"This is everyone's support. Let's not talk about the past. This time it is purely the entire industry's firm optimism and support for Muse."
"Ms. Li Moyan will always be the core and leader of Muse. I just faked this achievement on the basis of her."
"But I want to pass this financing and prove beyond a doubt that we at Muse have no reason and will never succumb to outside pressure."
"We know very well that only by doing a good job, continuing to develop, expand our territory, serve more users around the world, and bring joy will be the most uncomfortable thing for our opponents."
"Muse will not be intimidated by the difficulties before us, because the source of strength behind us is not only BAT, but also many people who support us."
"We are grateful for their company and sincerely believe that everyone will be reunited one day."
