Ordinary Road 2010

Chapter 330

Lin Yi didn't know if Wang Huiwen was exaggerating, but generally speaking, it wasn't a bluff, because no matter whether it was about Are You Hungry or about Casual, every group at the moment was a ferocious giant beast.

It only took them two years to stand out from the group buying market, and later catch up in the takeaway market. From this perspective, each group is really good at fighting.

Lin Yi never underestimated each regiment, but he was not afraid of each regiment either.

Each regiment was fast, and still is, but not forever.They must have a loophole, otherwise, even if the giants intervene in the subsequent battle between yellow and blue, they wouldn't have fought for so many years.

Facing Wang Huiwen's threat at this moment, he just asked casually: "Didn't Wang always say these words to Zhang Xuhao, did he scare him?"

Wang Huiwen remembered Zhang Xuhao's attitude: "He is even more impatient than you, and kicked me out before I finished speaking."

Lin Yi smiled. This time, he simply felt that Zhang Xuhao seemed to be someone who could do such a thing. That scene should be quite joyful.

After laughing, he corrected his expression, and said solemnly: "You said that I am more patient than Zhang Xuhao, but it does not mean that I am weaker than him."

Wang Huiwen nodded: "I don't think so either, I know that position determines attitude."

"I explained your situation at the beginning. If you are sitting in Zhang Xuhao's position now, I think you will not have so much patience with me."

This time, neither of the two people on the opposite side spoke, and Wang Huiwen took it on his own.

"I know it's not an easy decision."

He looked at the senior sister who didn't say anything at the side: "For you, for you, selling the company may be more difficult to accept than failure and bankruptcy."

He paused before saying, "Actually, I only told half of the story about the school just now."

"Although you didn't expose it face to face, you should have thought of it. Wang Xing and I founded Xiaonei in the fall of 2005, and sold it to Chen Yizhou for 2006 million US dollars in October 10."

"This is a very painful decision for us. Before that, I was the most opposed in the team, but in the end I had to face reality."

"When it went public in the U.S. for $70 billion, I did wonder what would have happened if we hadn't sold Xiaonei."

"But now I have figured it out. If Xiaonei hadn't been sold at that time, it might have been forced to shut down because of a broken capital chain. I don't think that would be a better ending than it is now."

"And if that's the case, there probably won't be every group today, and there won't be me and Wang Xing."

After Wang Huiwen finished telling the story, he smiled kindly: "I don't ask you to make a decision on the spot. There is my contact information on this plan. When you figure it out, you can bring it to me."

"But watch out, I won't wait for you too long."

After Wang Huiwen said these words, he got up to leave, and he showed a triumphant smile when he left the Jingdian campus.

……

After Wang Huiwen left, only Lin Yi and senior sister were left in the small activity room. The two of them were silent for a long time at the same time, but the atmosphere was not at all ambiguous.

It was the senior sister who spoke first: "Last time you said, wait until the group really comes to buy us. Now that they have put the proposal on the table, it's time to make this decision."

This time Lin Yi told the whole story.

"Senior sister, I really knew from a long time ago that each group will definitely enter the food delivery industry, so from the very beginning of the business, I have always regarded selling to each group as the last way out."

"Of course, if we can quickly become bigger and stronger and overcome the hurdle of being hungry, then I will never be afraid to confront each group head-on."

"But now we haven't decided the winner with Hungry? To be precise, we are at a disadvantage, and each team will enter the arena strongly."

"What Wang Huiwen said just now is not nonsense. Among the three parties, including Are you hungry, we are the most unfavorable in the current situation."

"I didn't even tell you and Jianguo in the past, because I didn't want you to think that my will to start a business was not strong. In fact, I have been spending 120 points of effort on casual food delivery online."

"But this website is not mine after all, so now, it's time for you and Jianguo to know all about it."

"Senior sister, what do you think?"

The senior sister has always been a straightforward person, and this time she was silent for a while before saying, "I never doubted your determination to start a business."

"But Lin Yi, do you still remember what you said when you invited me to join on behalf of yourself and Jianguo?"

"You said that I have a sense of justice, that I don't want to live a mediocre life, and that I want to help others, and then you said that your business is not just for money."

"We only met two or three times at that time. I don't know why you know me so well. After thinking about it for a long time, there is only one answer."

"Because you are also such a person, so you can see through me at a glance."

"I don't think it's my misunderstanding, so I want to ask, do you still remember what you said at the beginning?"

Lin Yi replied without hesitation: "Of course it counts."

The senior sister smiled gratifiedly: "Thank you for your answer."

"Since the time I started my business with you and Jianguo, it may be the busiest period in my life. I never practiced martial arts so hard when I was young."

"But I think it is also the most fulfilling period of time. As early as Lao Yang who sold Malatang, I found that what we did was valuable."

"The sense of accomplishment reached its peak in the first two months. I am very pleased that we have organized such an event, which makes me prouder than any event I have organized in the student union."

"Although you went to the interview with the Youth Daily alone, I think it is an encouragement and affirmation to our entire team."

"Do you know? When Han Xue and some other people found out that I was only a minority shareholder, they once asked me why I was willing to help two junior brothers. Is it because Jianguo is my younger brother?"

"no."

The senior sister looked straight at Lin Yi with piercing eyes: "Because I have always believed that we are doing the right thing, and this conviction reached its peak on May NO.20."

"With this premise, in fact, I don't care too much about success or failure. At the beginning you said that the two of you started a business not just for money, and of course I would not take this as a goal."

This was the first time since they started their business together, Lin Yi and his senior sister had such a direct and frank communication, and Lin Yi had no reservations in front of his senior sister.

"Sister, I am very grateful for your trust."

"Because of you, with Jianguo, and with your help, I also believe that we have been doing the right thing, but I think this is not all."

"Of course we want to do the right thing, but we can't ignore success and failure. We also need success in the worldly sense."

"Because the world doesn't listen to losers."

Chapter 331 Brothers in Two Lifetimes

After Lin Yi finished chatting with the senior sister, both of them agreed not to tell Liu Jianni the news of Wang Huiwen's visit for the time being, not because they suspected that the investor's position on this matter was suspicious, but because they hoped to form a unified position internally .

It was a major matter and it was inconvenient to explain by phone or video. After the two agreed to stay with their senior sister to follow up on the progress of the financing in Beijing, Lin Yi flew to Shencheng again.

Here he met Li Jianguo, another partner of Random Food Delivery Network, his college roommate Li Jianguo, although the two hadn't appeared in the dormitory together for a long time.

Li Jianguo was surprised by his arrival, and asked curiously, "Why are you back? Didn't you say that the financing has not been discussed yet?"

The three still have meetings every day, so he is very clear about the progress of Lin Yi and his senior sister in the capital, and then he frowned when he thought of something:

"Are you hungry and did something else?"

This inexplicable guess made Lin Yi smile, Li Jianguo was really vigilant, he felt a little nervous.

"It's not Jianguo."

On the way, Lin Yi had been thinking about how to speak, but in the end he found that he could only tell the truth, because his roommate was a very pure person.

"A very important thing happened today, and my senior sister and I thought we should let you know, so I flew over overnight to find you."

Now Li Jianguo was even more surprised: "Can't both of you make up your mind about any major issues? Besides, if it's urgent, wouldn't it be faster to hold an online meeting?"

Lin Yi looked at him with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "This must be a decision made by the three of us together. Because it has something to do with me, I will come here and explain to you face to face."

"Today we met a person in the capital. That person is Wang Huiwen from each group. You know each group. I won't introduce this person much. Anyway, he can represent each group and Wang Xing."

"He proposed to us to acquire casual food delivery, and..."

Just as Lin Yi said this, he was interrupted by Li Jianguo's exclamation: "Acquisition?"

"Listen to me, Jianguo."

"Every regiment proposed to us to buy, and they came to us after Zhang Xuhao rejected them to buy Are You Hungry. If we don't agree, they will do it themselves."

"The reason why Wang Huiwen came to us today is because he came to investigate secretly at the end of last year, and I had already met him at that time."

Lin stopped here as soon as he talked, and did not continue to talk about his idea of ​​treating every group as a way out when he started his business.

This is not because Lin Yiyi's senior sister is different from Jianguo, but to seek Li Jianguo's opinion, and he does not want his attitude to have a preconceived influence on him.

After hearing what he said, Li Jianguo was still immersed in that unexpected emotion, and asked, "What's your opinion with my sister?"

Lin Yi replied: "We want to hear your opinion."

Li Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was a disagreement between the two people, which was rarely seen in the previous entrepreneurial process.

This time he didn't worry any more, but lowered his head and pondered for a while, but it didn't take long before he raised his head and said, "Of course I object."

He didn’t listen to Lin’s question, so he told the whole story: “The casual food delivery network is our painstaking effort, why should he jump out and buy it?”

"What the hell, no matter what he says about each group, even if each group is a big company in the industry, it can't buy and sell by force and grab it from us, right?"

"As for him saying that he wants to do it himself, let's compare it with each other. Anyway, we have never been afraid when we are hungry. So what if we change to each group, who is afraid of whom?"

After he finished speaking, he asked, "Since you came here to find me, it means that you and my sister disagree. Which one of you intends to sell?"

"It's me, but I don't intend to sell it."

At this time, Lin Yi revealed his original plan and expressed his attitude: "I am not insisting on selling to each group now, after all, Wang Huiwen just came here today to inform, but what I want to ask for your opinion is , Can this be regarded as an optional retreat."

Li Jianguo asked: "Why does he think we will sell the company to him?"

Lin explained Wang Huiwen's opinion today, and then added: "He has a good eye, and the problems he pointed out are all critical."

Now Li Jianguo was silent.

My family knew about my own family affairs. Although Lin Yi and the three of them didn't reveal their words in front of other employees, they did not seldom discuss it in private.

After a while, Li Jianguo suddenly announced another piece of news: "Lin Yi, I broke up."

This time it was replaced by Lin Yi in surprise. He knew that Jianguo's foreign relationship would end disastrously in the end, but he remembered that it happened during the summer vacation of his freshman year, and it hadn't arrived yet.

He realized that this was the butterfly effect brought by him again.

"When did it happen?"

"It's the May Day holiday."

Lin Yi recalled some scenes in his mind, Li Jianguo got drunk and shouted something "worth it", "I think it's worth it", and his hesitation on the day he first arrived in Shencheng, all of which were strung together.

It turned out to be the case.

"Then why didn't you tell us?"

Li Jianguo laughed at himself: "I don't know what to say."

"Actually, there is no special reason, that is, the two of us are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. She didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, so I didn't see each other."

"After I started my business, I had less and less time. Later, it became more and more difficult to guarantee phone and video calls with her. In fact, she has complained many times."

"May Day was originally a holiday, and she thought that even if I couldn't buy a plane ticket to see her, I could at least talk to her. But it happened to be a critical moment for our activities, and you and my sister were too busy How could I be lazy?"

He paused for a while when he said this, and then showed a cheerful smile: "Hey, it's all over."

"I'm not saying this to blame anyone or regret anything. Even if it never happens, I will start a business with you and my sister."

"Until now, the three of us have never taken a penny from here, and I didn't do it for that."

"Lin Yi, I always knew that my contribution to the website was not as good as that of you and my sister. It was your idea to do food delivery. Since Changhua's letter, I have always admired you. My sister will not say anything. She has taken care of me since I was a child."

"But Lin Yi, what I can guarantee is that I will never put less effort into it than you two. There is also my hard work in it, all the hard work in the past nearly a year."

"Whatever, to be honest, I hated you when you gave me such a name, but I've gotten used to it after so long."

"I have feelings."

"Lin Yi, if we just sell casually, casually, I don't know how to explain to myself."

Lin Yi looked at this 1.9-meter tall man from the Northeast. He looked tall, but he was actually less than 20 years old.

I was only a freshman, but I didn't take a few classes.

Jianguo is a very emotional person, whether it was the last time or this time, he is worthy of himself.

"We have been brothers for two lifetimes."

Lin Yi said something that made him puzzled, "I see, Jianguo."

Chapter 332 I Fall In Love With An Angel

Li Jianguo's words made Lin Yi's heart a little heavy.
