Ordinary Road 2010

Lin Yi knew that the choice he made this time was not based solely on courage, which was why he was unwilling to criticize others.

He always remembers the line in "The Great Gatsby": "When you want to criticize anyone, you have to remember that not everyone has the advantages that you once had."

He will not force anyone under the current situation. On the contrary, if there is still no improvement, he will inform others to make plans early.

So Lin Yi also said to Guo Nan sincerely: "Senior Brother Guo, if I stood in your position, I would choose this way, really."

Guo Nan seemed to take this as encouragement, and then replied: "To be honest, Lin Yi, although I was your senior brother in school, since we met, I have always felt that you are much more mature than me."

"I don't think a little temporary difficulty is nothing. I believe you will succeed, and I look forward to the day when you become the most famous alumnus of Jingdian."

Lately, I've been bragging in front of investors every day, so I almost vomited, so this time Lin Yi didn't say anything big, but just responded lightly: "I hope."

Then the two said a few words about his work handover. Originally, Professor Li Feifei was not the only one who sent technical support, and Lin Yi who took over also knew him.

With Guo Nan's sense of responsibility, he would definitely not walk away. I believe that the two of them can make a smooth transition, and Lin Yi has nothing to worry about.

When they arrived downstairs in the dormitory, the two waved goodbye. Guo Nan seemed to be emotionally moved, and after hugging him, he said, "See you again, Jianghu."

Although Lin Yi also said goodbye, he thought that given the size of this world, the two of them might not have the chance to meet again.

How far is Jianghu Road?

It is always difficult to break up and see you again.

Chapter 339

Although Senior Sister and Jianguo didn't say much about Guo Nan's departure, Lin Yi fell into a long silence after talking about it.

"Fuck!"

Li Jianguo couldn't help cursing on the other end of the phone. He wasn't scolding Guo Nan, because he also understood Guo Nan's choice, but it was precisely because of this that his inner resentment had nowhere to vent.

After a while he asked again: "How long can we last?"

This question has been asked almost every day recently, but the senior sister did not dislike him for being long-winded, and repeated the same answer tirelessly: "At the current speed, it can be maintained until the end of the month."

"That's less than half a month..."

This is already the minimum operating cost. Before Hungry? got financing, it could still be on par with the other party, but now it has completely fallen into a disadvantage. If the existing discounts are cut off, both Shi Jianrui and Zhang Xun claim that " There is a risk of collapse."

In fact, even the capital city with the deepest foundation is feeling the pressure under the offensive of Are you hungry.

The three of them couldn't discuss anything. After Li Jianguo hung up, Lin Yi and his senior sister packed up their things and prepared to leave the small activity room.

When the two faced each other, the senior sister found that although Lin Yi's face was still neat, she couldn't hide her haggardness.

"Your eyes are a bit bloodshot."

This made Lin Yi sigh, but immediately realized that this action was a bit inappropriate, and then said: "Sleep a little longer tonight, if you look too tired, it's not good to be in front of investors."

The senior sister nodded silently without saying a word.

When the two went out, Lin Yi's cell phone rang, and he looked at the name: "It's Zhang Xun, I don't know what it is to call so late."

He was a little reluctant to pick it up, and instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

"Go ahead." The senior sister reminded him.

Of course, Lin Yi was not qualified to be willful, so he finally picked it up: "Hello."

"elder brother."

Zhang Xun's address was still the same, but this time it was not as crisp and sharp as before, but sounded a little listless. He hesitated for a while before saying:

"Brother, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You said."

"That's right, when my senior sister left me in Jiangcheng, she said that I could go to the capital to report on my work or be transferred back at any time."

Lin glanced at Senior Sister, and she nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case.

Of course Zhang Xun couldn't see the two of them, so he continued: "I think it's been more than two months since I brought people here to support me at the end of March. Now the school is about to have the final exam, so I want to go back first , I can contact Jiangcheng by phone, what do you think bro?"

Because Zhang Xun was not in front of him, Lin Yi didn't control it deliberately, showing a sneering expression.

He didn't ask the reason why the other party came back, and he didn't intend to guess the other party's small thoughts, but he resolutely rejected the request: "Of course not!"

"Zhang Xun, now is a critical period for the company. You are the only one in Jiangcheng who came from the capital. You represent the company there, representing the three of us. If you leave Jiangcheng, it will collapse immediately!"

"Now you have to stay there honestly and take care of Jiangcheng's affairs. We are still trying to find a way, and things haven't reached that point yet."

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

There was another second or two of silence on the other side, and then a forced laughter came: "Brother, I feel relieved when you say that, I'll hang up if it's okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi shook his head: "Zhang Xun is really..."

He didn't continue talking, but the senior sister commented: "When I left Zhang Xun in Jiangcheng, he still thought the company's situation was very good. Now it's a little bit difficult and he's surprised."

Lin Yi knew that the current situation of casual food delivery.com could not be said to be "slightly difficult", so he didn't criticize much.

"It's no wonder that the hearts of the people below are fluctuating. The news that Senior Brother Guo has left cannot be concealed from others. Zhang Xun must have received wind when he left the capital."

"Although we all know that Senior Brother Guo didn't run away, but when something like this happens at this moment, it is inevitable that some people will think wildly."

They walked towards the dormitory, Lin Yi raised his head to look at the dark night, and a bright first-quarter moon was shining in the western sky.

"The moon is short tonight."

Lin Yi didn't notice that the senior sister walking beside seemed to be touched, and her footsteps stopped slightly.

He was still thinking about his plans for tomorrow: "Let's go find Liu Jianni again tomorrow, but I feel like she doesn't have much hope..."

A call interrupted him.

"Lin Yi."

"Ok?"

Lin Yi felt that the senior sister's tone was a bit strange, so he turned his head to look at her, but he couldn't see clearly in the dim light of night, only those bright eyes could be distinguished.

"Don't go to Liu Jianni tomorrow, go to Wang Huiwen."

Lin Yi's footsteps stopped.

Of course, the senior sister also stopped, and the two looked at each other in the dark.

"Senior sister, can you...can you accept such a result?"

Li Moyan replied: "I have been an investor running with you for a while. I am very aware of the current situation. It is meaningless to continue running like a headless chicken."

"On the contrary, if you really wait until the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry before you go back to Wang Huiwen, then I'm afraid you can only endure his slaughter?"

"And Lin Yi."

She paused, "That day when you said that you would take over $500 million from Mr. Pan and continue to compete with Hungry?, I suddenly realized that I had a misunderstanding before."

"What misunderstanding?"

The senior sister said sonorously with her signature tone of gold and stone: "Lin Yi, in fact, you are the one who is most unwilling to sell casually, right?"

"Jianguo and I cherish the hard work we put into Casual, but you are the one who puts the most effort into it."

"So I think, you are not willing to sell casually, this must be a difficult decision for you, right?"

"what……"

Hearing these few words from the senior sister's mouth, Lin Yi's eyes turned red instantly, and he almost had the urge to cry, an unspeakable emotion welled up in his heart.

Why do I want to sell casually?

Zhang Xuhao kept saying that the company was his own child. Could it be that I, Lin Yihui, are the kind of people who are blind to money?

"Sister..."

Under the dark night, both of them could not see each other clearly, but they seemed to have understood each other's intentions from his slightly trembling tone.

Lin Yi calmed down for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Of course I don't want to sell it!"

"But Senior Sister, I also want to tell you frankly. I will not just watch this ship sink. When that day comes, I will make up my mind."

"Senior Sister, if it was in the past, um... I mean a long time ago, maybe I would be like you and Jianguo, who would rather lose proudly than wrong myself."

"But I've been through a lot, and I know there are going to be tough trade-offs on the road to success, probably more than once."

"But I am not blindly pursuing utilitarian success. Someone once reminded me that I have to go to a higher and farther place to do more things I want to do."

"Senior sister, do you believe it?"

Taking advantage of the looming silhouette under the moonlight, Lin Yi was not sure when he saw that the senior sister on the opposite side seemed to smile:

"Of course I do."

Chapter 340 Take what you need

When Lin Yi and Li Moyan told Li Jianguo of their decision to meet Wang Huiwen, he was silent for a while, and only said:

"I see."

Maybe he felt that this statement was too vague, so he quickly added: "Sister, Lin Yi, I still believe in the decision of the two of you as always, you can go ahead and do it."

After getting Jianguo's support, Lin Yi and Li Moyan still didn't inform Liu Jianni, but they didn't go to Wang Huiwen either. Lin Yi told the senior sister:

"We can't take the initiative to go to him. This is too passive for us. We don't have many cards and can't be manipulated by him."

Li Moyan only asked: "Are you sure that Wang Huiwen will come to see us again?"

Lin nodded: "Of course, we regard each regiment as a way out. Why doesn't each regiment regard us as an opportunity, and he will definitely come again."

Guess right.

After two difficult days, Lin Yi and Li Moyan met Wang Huiwen, an important figure in each regiment, in the small underground activity room.

After the two parties were seated, Wang Huiwen first took a look at the place, and then casually chatted about the past:

"When Wang Xing and I started our business in Haifeng Garden, we didn't even have a basement like yours. There were three desks in the living room and three camp beds in the bedroom. The key is that there was no heating in the room, and everyone couldn't stand the cold."

As soon as Lin knew that there were three of them at that time, and one was Wang Xing's high school classmate, he was not in a hurry to talk about business, so he chatted with him: "Didn't you start your business in Huaqing Jiayuan?"

Wang Huiwen smiled proudly: "It seems that you really paid attention to us."

"Wang Xing returned to China at the end of 03. In March of 04, the three of us pooled up 3 yuan and started a business together. At the beginning, we were in Haifeng Garden."

"We had two failed products at the beginning, and we didn't make a name for ourselves until we built Xiaonei. In order to facilitate promotion, we moved to Huaqing Jiayuan, which is closer to T University, but it's still the same. It's both a dormitory and an office."

When the bosses reminisce about the glorious years, they always say that I also suffered from hardships when I was young. This may not be true.

But outsiders often ignore some conditions intentionally or unintentionally in order to myth them.

The person in front of him and the Wang Xing he mentioned are all the proud sons of T University who graduated from T University. The first stop for them to promote Xiaonei is their alma mater.

In the era when they created the school intranet, ordinary parents like Lin Yi's parents only knew that Internet cafes were similar to game halls, and that children would be beaten if they secretly went online to go home.

However, Wang Huiwen has been mentioning the school intranet, and it is not ruled out that he is giving Lin Yi a psychological hint, even if he and Wang Xing have sold their own projects, it is no big deal.

Lin Yi chatted a few words with this enthusiastic guy, and then Wang Huiwen said: "You are willing to see me today. I guess the financing has not gone well recently, right?"

At this moment, Lin Yi once again recalled his previous doubts about each group's interference, but he didn't question him face to face. This kind of thinking is very bizarre.

And it's meaningless, even if he really did it, what can Lin Yi do to him now?

Although Lin Yi accepted the reality, he could not easily show weakness at this time: "We are indeed still negotiating financing, but the company can still support it at present, and we are not in a hurry."

The casual financial situation is actually only enough to last until the end of the month, but this matter is a core secret, only Lin Yi, the three of them, and Liu Jianni know about it, and they are not afraid of being exposed by him on the spot.

Wang Huiwen didn't question it, but just smiled slightly: "You said that you are not in a hurry, but are you hungry? Now you are stepping on the floor and running wildly, one step behind and one step behind. You should understand this truth."

Of course Lin Yi understood that he had been reminding himself and the people around him since the beginning of his business.

"Mr. Wang said that one step behind and one step behind, I very much agree with this point of view. But if each group is to do takeaway, it seems that it is not a day or two behind from now on."

Of course Wang Huiwen also understood this truth, otherwise he would not have appeared here.

"So this cooperation is a win-win situation for us. You don't have to worry about me taking advantage of you."

"Both Wang Xing and I are not stingy people. You will soon realize this. We will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Hearing this, Lin Yi and senior sister looked at each other, and read trust and support from her eyes.

So he took out the acquisition plan that Wang Huiwen had left behind at that time, with the name Hungry still clearly written on it, but at this time neither side felt that there was any abruptness.

"We did read Mr. Wang's proposal last time, but this plan is actually a framework. We think there are still many things worth discussing."
