Ordinary Road 2010

"Let me tell you the truth, what kind of thing are you? What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with us, don't be ashamed!"

Considering Liu Jianni's entrustment before coming here, Lin Yi originally thought that no matter what the other party said, he just had to hold his ground and not be moved.

As for if they said something nasty, just take it as the wind blowing in your ears, and just don't care about it at all, but when things come to an end, Lin Yi finds that it seems difficult for him to stick to this principle.

I can't bear it, hate!

Lin Yi commented in amazement: "It turns out that when the bosses quarrel, they seem to be no different from the wretches shouting and scolding on the street."

"I don't know if you have noticed that in today's scene, I look like the villain in the hot-blooded boy anime."

When Lin Yi said this, his expression was still relaxed, and he even raised the corners of his mouth to smile, which seemed a little frivolous to the other party.

"What are you, Skull and Bones?"

The four people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, not because they were frightened by what Lin Yi said, but because they didn't expect that he would dare to talk back under such circumstances.

That's Majack!

After the person reacted, he became even more furious, shouting and yelling: "Lawless! Lawless! Who the hell are you to talk to me like that!"

Lin Yi doesn't quarrel when he is particularly angry, because anger will affect the quickness and coherence of thinking, so he is usually relatively calm when he quarrels.

"Are you law or heaven?"

"Boss Ma's words are easy to misunderstand. We are all ordinary citizens equal to each other in the law. Are you a Tianlong person? Should we be extra careful when talking to you, or should we bow our knees?"

"Apart from your high ranking on the rich list, do you have anything else to respect? Because of this, do you have the right to dictate to others while others can only listen obediently?"

"Alright alright alright..."

Except that the first paragraph was said by Li Robin, Ma Jack has been robbing him all the time.

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling, Cheng Wei, who was very well-behaved in front of the three big brothers, finally stood up to persuade them to fight.

"Both of you don't say a few words, so why get angry."

"But I didn't say you, Lin Yi. The three bosses took the precious time to discuss this matter because they cared about you. How could they blame you? Hurry up and apologize."

Over there, Jack Ma had already seen that Lin Yi was not easy to "tame", so he just sneered, and brother Ma and Robin Li could still sit next to him.

Lin didn't pay any attention to someone's blatant deviating behavior. Since he had retaliated just now, he can simply talk about it today.

"There's no need for us to play tricks, so let's talk about it openly. You all think it's a great honor to meet me today, and it's only natural to be able to give advice here."

"Just now you asked me what qualifications I have to negotiate terms, so now I have to ask a question, what qualifications do you have to dictate to me?"

"Except for Robin, who has always been an important shareholder of Wanli Travel, the other two are basically on the side of my competitors. Why do I have to give up my career and bow down as soon as you speak?"

"I might as well make it more clear. Who gave you the power to allow you to give and receive privately here, and the three of you can hold a small meeting to decide on the ownership of an industry?"

"What are you relying on?"

"At least in your opinion, it is based on BAT, the three major factories that are famous in the world and feared by everyone."

"But this view does not hold for me."

"Dachang, I don't know if you will feel a little proud when you hear this term. Do you know what I think of?"

"In the year when I was in... freshman year of high school, there was a company named Fu from Baodao, also known as a big factory. It was a real manufacturing industry, an assembly line, and blue-collar workers like ants, instead of taking money. Hypocritically claiming to be a high-income middle class with several times the social average salary."

"That year, many people died in this big factory surnamed Fu, causing the boss surnamed Guo to jump in a hurry, praying everywhere to God and Buddha, and Mazu's blessing."

"I guess you must feel baffled in your heart now. Why do I bring this up? Do you have the slightest relationship with that kind of big screw-driving factory without technical content?"

"Yes, you are exactly the same."

"Are you surprised?"

"If this is the case, then you must have not been to the grassroots level of the company for too long."

"Although you brag all day long and say you want to suffocate your dreams, you don't even know what your subordinates are thinking."

"What is a big factory?"

"No sense of accomplishment, no passion, no dreams."

"Go to the fucking factory!"

"Youth is like an insignificant screw in this huge and delicate machine, or like fuel is thrown into the burning furnace."

"Do you know what the biggest problem is?"

"Young people don't worship you anymore."

"When I was in college, I met a teacher who taught economics who praised you very much. It was like a god. He sincerely believed that you should manage the country's economy so that it can develop well. .”

"But now?"

"I know you're all university speakers, but do you really go out to young people and listen to them?"

"Do you usually go online, do you know what the outside world thinks of you, do you care?"

"If you care, whether it's for your own reputation or for the company's image, have you ever made any efforts?"

"There was a time in the past when you were followed by the spotlight wherever you went, people lined the streets to welcome you warmly, young people cheered for you, and regarded you as heroes who changed the world."

"But now young people think you have betrayed that ideal."

"Have you really changed the world, or just yourself?"

"I am also a person who has started a business. I know that sometimes in order to fool investors' money, I dare to say any nonsense."

"But I think there should be a little bit of my sincerity hidden in those carefully compiled grand blueprints."

"So next time, when you are concerned about whether your wealth has appreciated or depreciated, and how to explain to shareholders when the stock price fluctuates, please think about the awesomeness you have boasted, and think about whether the world today is The world you once wanted to pursue."

"Think about whether you would still worship the person you are today if you were an ordinary young man again."

Chapter 507 The Darkest Hour

After Lin Yi's generous speech, no one applauded him, and the reactions of several people were different.

Ma Jack's eyes were full of contempt, as if wondering how he could have talked to such an idiot just now.

He simply said: "If you can raise another penny in the market, I will take your last name."

Then he straightly stood up and left the room, as if Lin Yi had some infectious disease that made him eager to stay away.

"Oh!"

This time, he didn't slap the table with his iron palm, but slammed the door when he left. Fortunately, the door of this hotel seems to be quite solid.

The second person to leave was Brother Xiao Ma. He seemed to have something to say when he passed by Lin Yi, but he still didn't speak in the end.

However, Brother Xiao Ma was still polite. He pointed to the door to indicate that he was going out, barely saying hello.

The third one to leave was Cheng Wei, because after Ma Jieke and Xiao Ma had left, he had no reason to stay here.

Cheng Wei's face was full of confusion when Lin Yi gave a long speech just now. If he had to describe it, it would probably be equivalent to a black question mark face:

"What are you talking about?"

But no matter how far the channels between the two parties are, Cheng Wei at least understands one thing, and it is enough for him.

Obviously, the plan they had prepared tonight had failed ahead of schedule, and it was hard to say that it was caused by the unexpected fire alarm.

Before he left, he also left a sentence for Lin Yi: "If you figure it out, come to me anytime."

In Cheng Wei's view, although the goal was not achieved today, the result is nothing more than a delay of a few months. As the winner, he doesn't mind waiting a little longer.

Li Robin didn't leave because this was his room.

He looked at the young man whom he had supported for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Lin Yi, you may be blaming me for today's matter, but I really want to help you."

"You're still so young, even if you can't make a trip of thousands of miles, you still have many chances to start over."

"But if you offend everyone, no one will pay you in the future, and no one will cooperate with you."

Li Robin also seemed to feel that his words might be in vain, so he finally said:

"Do it yourself."

Lin Yi didn't say anything more, anyway, he was grateful for Li Luobin's previous support, so he said goodbye and left the lively room just now.

……

The next day was the activity site of the forum, but for Lin Yi, the whole process seemed lackluster.

Of course, he is not qualified to speak on stage on such an occasion. If there is any gain, it may be that he stood in the corner of the group photo and was photographed together.

Even so, being able to appear in this photo is a symbol in itself, so Lin Yi is still satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

For the rest of the forum, he was basically alone. He was not familiar with the attendees in China, and he was not interested in meeting those in the United States, and few people came to talk to him.

Cheng Wei seemed like a duck to water on this occasion, and he was able to chat with both of them a few times. He was a rising star who had attracted much attention on the forum.

As he said, he will not return to China immediately after the forum, but will follow Liu Qing around Silicon Valley, which can be regarded as setting up an international pattern.

Lin Yi didn't have that kind of arrangement, and he didn't plan to hang out or go on vacation in the United States, so he went back to China alone after being his background board.

……

"How's it going?"

As Liu Jianni who urged him to participate in this forum, of course, after he came back, she came to pay attention to the progress as soon as possible.

"I may be disappointing you, Jenny."

Although he said so, Lin Yi's tone and expression were still relaxed. This result was not too unexpected, and he did not regret it.

Liu Jianni had a very bad feeling in her heart, and she asked suspiciously:

"Cheng Wei found you, or who found you, how did you talk about it?"

"Cheng Wei did look for me, but it was mainly three other people who looked for me, namely Jack Ma, Brother Xiao Ma, and Robin Li. They set up a dragon gate array together to greet me in a very face-saving way."

"and then?"

"Then it's a long story, um... To be precise, I offended all three of them at one time in a historic way. This should be the first achievement in the industry, right?"

This remark sounded a bit silly, but Liu Jianni didn't want to argue with him now, and just continued to ask for details a little helplessly.

Lin Yi told her about the high-level remarks he made in front of Jack Ma, Brother Xiao Ma and Robin Li, almost pointing at their noses and cursing.

"you really……"

Liu Jianni hesitated to speak, but Lin Yi probably guessed that she might want to swear but forcibly held back, which is really very polite.

Her emotional mediation ability is very strong, and she fully accepted this fact in a short while, and was able to continue to ask clearly:

"Lin Yi, this is not a joke, do you know the consequences of doing so?"

"According to what you said, the three most powerful people at the top of the industry tried to mediate the war of attrition between us and Kuaidu, but you scolded us back."

"What you said is already a fait accompli and I can accept it. Whether you are impulsive or premeditated, I don't want to get entangled or ask why."

"But what measures are you going to take for traveling thousands of miles in the future, and what plans do you have, I hope you can tell me the truth, otherwise I can only suspect that after you mess up this matter, we will only have a bad way."

Lin Yi was satisfied with Liu Jianni's reaction. She still maintained a calm attitude and professional judgment. She is an excellent CFO.

"Before I talk about that, let me ask those investors who came to the door every day during the two days I left, have they been here?"

Liu Jianni replied: "After you promised to attend this forum, they haven't come again, and there hasn't even been a single news from yesterday to now."

"According to your description just now, it is obvious that your statement to those three people has reached their ears, and they have given up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade you."

Lin Yi and Liu Jianni knew very well that Ma Jieke, Xiao Ma and Li Luobin appeared at the same time, and such a big battle represented not only the three of them and the three major manufacturers of BAT.

Behind them, there were Dudu Kuaidu and dozens of investors from Wanli Travel's previous financing, so Ma Jieke dared to say through gritted teeth that Lin Yi would never raise a penny again.

"Of course I know the consequences of doing so, but on the premise of not accepting their mediation, it doesn't seem to matter whether I deal with it well or not."

"It doesn't mean that I have given up on myself. After all, our options were limited before going to the United States. The next few months may be very difficult for us."

Liu Jianni didn't care about these foreshadowing words, but pointed to the point: "What should we do?"

Chapter 508

In the next period of time, Lin Yi became particularly clean.

Of course, it does not mean that he does not have a job, and the business activities of Wanli Travel are completely normal, but that the previous situation of being blocked by investors has not happened again.

They adopted a cold approach, as if they had acquiesced to Lin to spend the money in the account now, and then he would accept his doomed fate sooner or later when he was at the end of his rope.
