Ma Yun was busy with business activities. He chatted with Lu Yan all afternoon and left without eating.
A day later, an investment delegation from Penguin Company came over, and Lu Yan's reception was much more attentive.
First of all, there is no shortage of funds for the time being, but in the future, we are willing to accept Penguin's funds for the Series A financing. Whether we will lead the investment or not will be discussed at that time.
At the same time, we showed them the development of Yixing Taxi-hailing and let them experience the taxi-hailing software on the spot.
Because Yixing Taxi has just crossed the Yangtze River and has not yet entered Shenzhen, Yangcheng and other places. This is the first time for Penguin employees to come into contact with Yixing Taxi's products.
But before they came, they had tried Didi's client. They were shocked by this comparison.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods.
If you compare the Yixing Taxi app to the popular smartphones now!
Didi’s client is basically still at the level of PHS.
Standing in the wind and rain with a PHS in hand, I switched my left hand to my right hand, but my right hand couldn’t get through!
The client that Cheng Wei showed to Penguin Company had too many bugs and crashes were common!
I carefully asked how this client was created, an outsourced product, and the founder didn’t understand technology at all!
The people at Penguin had never used Yixing products before, so they thought Didi would be able to accept it.
When I compared this, I suddenly felt unbearable!
Peng Zhijian, vice president of Penguin Company and managing director of Penguin Industry Win-Win Fund, took his mobile phone and got off an Easy Express after completing the payment.
He said to Yu Shuangpeng who was accompanying him: "It's not bad!"
Yu Shuangpeng said cheerfully: "How about it, Mr. Peng, what I said is true! Our Yixing taxi client was developed by our Mr. Lu himself. He is an expert who has led the design of Shenlong 920 chip and EDA software...
!”
This sounds too flattering, but in Yu Shuangpeng's heart, Lu Yan is definitely the best person.
Hardware, the most difficult chip to make, software, domestic blank EDA software, capable of both soft and hard work, literary and military skills, definitely the best person he has ever seen in his life!
Peng Zhijian laughed and said politely: "You, Mr. Lu, are indeed not simple! You are not very young, but your achievements are not small. There are really not many people in the country who can compare with him!"
The group of people went upstairs and sat in the conference room.
Lu Yan also attended and continued chatting with people from Penguin. The main content was that Yixing Taxi is expected to conduct its first round of financing after the year. Penguin’s funds are welcome, and the matter of leading the investment can be discussed slowly.
What Peng Zhijian means is that they tend to invest in Yixing, and they do not need to participate in management, but they must have a large number of shares...
After chatting for two days, there was no substantial progress, and then the people from Qiandu came again.
In the field of domestic venture capital, the actions of Ahri and Penguin have always attracted the attention of other institutions.
In just a few days, BAT gathered together, and soon attracted venture capital institutions such as Jinshajiang Venture Capital and Sequoia Capital to send people to contact Yi Xing.
The news shocked the industry. Companies such as Didi, Yaoyaoche, KuaiDi and others were really shocked. Even Dianping, which is based in Shenghai, was frightened.
Lu Yan came here this time, and it was obvious that he came with bad intentions.
What’s even more terrible is the three-party interaction between Yixing Taxi, Meituan, and Daily Toutiao.
Earn gold coins by reading headlines, exchange gold coins for coupons, and do linkage marketing!
But fortunately, Yixing has not yet asked for investment from any company. It is obvious that the valuation has not been reached yet. The founders of those companies breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days later, many people from venture capital companies left. Cheng Wei from Didi also returned to Shenghai from Shenzhen Town in disappointment.
It turns out that after Peng Zhijian returned, he felt that Yixing Taxi has become more mature in terms of software, publicity, services and even development concepts.
And it has the largest market share. Unless it spends huge sums of money to grab the market, it will be very difficult and uneconomical to completely kill Yi Xing.
At the same time, the report is that in the next few years, Internet taxi-hailing will be a very important entrepreneurial outlet.
If this market is captured, there will be hundreds of millions of payment orders every year, which will be very important for the promotion of payment.
…
Penguin and Ali are domestic Internet giants, one with user social networking as its core, and the other with e-commerce platform as its core.
The former has a desire to be an e-commerce business, while the latter has not given up the idea of socializing and wants to invade the other party's field.
At this moment, Penguin is already making payments, but it hasn’t been launched yet.
Now, at a glance, this taxi-hailing software market must be won!
There is also the group buying business, which is crucial to the promotion of WeChat payment.
So Penguin Company sent people over again to discuss the details of the investment and shareholding, but did not mention payment at all.
Lu Yan knew their ambitions, but he talked about them leisurely.
At the same time, we will continue to promote Meituan and Yixing in Shenghai.
When I'm not busy, I drink with Yu Shuangpeng and Xu Jiaqing.
After Lao Xu returned to Shenghai, he was no longer as dissolute as before when he was with his parents.
Mainly because of the beating he received in Jinling last time, which left a psychological shadow on him.
Fortunately, Lu Yan was there that day. If he was caught by someone, what would happen to him?
"Brothers, I might be getting married!"
During the meal, Xu Jiaqing suddenly said this, which stunned both Yu Shuangpeng and Lu Yan.
"Damn it, Lao Xu, isn't that all you want?" Yu Shuangpeng looked surprised.
Xu Jiaqing said: "The truth is, when I came back, my parents arranged for me to go on several blind dates, and I met a pretty nice girl. She looks good, works well, is quite responsible, and is the kind of person who can live a stable life.
!”
Yu Shuangpeng said: "I'll go, you, the little white dragon in the waves, are just going to collect the mountains like this?"
Xu Jiaqing picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said, "It's time to close the mountain. I've had enough fun after wandering around for so many years!"
Yu Shuangpeng looked at Xu Jiaqing, then at Lu Yan, and said with the strength of his wine, "You two, it's true! One was innocent in the first half, but now he's a bit promiscuous. The other was a prodigal in his early years, but now he wants to be affectionate!"
Lu Yan said displeased: "Go away, just talk about him, don't talk about me! Besides, this guy won't be able to have a stable partner after marriage!"
Xu Jiaqing said: "Hey, Brother Yan, you are wrong to say that! People like me who date countless people before marriage can only live a stable life after marriage.
Why, we have eaten it and seen it. We know what is good and what is bad, no regrets!
Unlike those who are honest before marriage and haven’t had many relationships with each other, he will be greedy when he sees a beautiful one after marriage!”
Lu Yan drank the beer and said calmly: "What did you eat?"
"puff!"
Yu Shuangpeng couldn't hold it back and squirted half of the wine in a sip, "Damn it, I wouldn't let you two chatter like this!"
Lu Yan smiled, "It's not that my mouth is dirty, it's that your heart is unclean! What I said is fine. What else do you want to eat? How about some oysters and big kidneys?"
