Ordinary Road 2010

"I already know that."

Lin Yi received the news from Peng Yuchen. After the relationship between him and Gu Caiwei was exposed once, Peng Yuchen also monitored his public opinion so that he could find out that someone brought them together again.

This time, I happened to find out about Wanli Travel being hacked, so I passed it on to him.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Liu Jianni's team will react slower than Peng Yuchen. When she came in, she brought a formal report.

Lin Yi and his senior sister didn't inform other people about their school affairs, but only now did they tell their competent CFO.

Liu Jianni was only surprised by Liu Taishan's intervention, and felt that there was nothing surprising about it, so she said:

"Although it is true that the relationship between us and our shareholders is deadlocked, they will not poke it outside. After all, it is not good for them."

"As for the shortage of funds, it is even more out of thin air. At least the previous 12 billion US dollars can be supported for several months."

"So we can definitely issue a clarification announcement. There is no need to worry that investors will come out and make trouble. I will also say hello in advance."

Lin Yi still had the time to mock the mastermind behind the scenes: "The old guy is still a little impatient. If he spreads the news again in a few months, I'm afraid the momentum will be bigger."

After saying this, he found that Liu Jianni's expression was serious, as if he felt that the difficult situation of the company was not a funny topic.

Alright, so Lin Yi began to arrange seriously: "First issue a clarification announcement, in which it is particularly emphasized that the responsibility of the rumor-mongering media should be held accountable."

"If they don't stop, don't send any lawyer's letter, just let them receive the court's subpoena."

Chapter 514 The dawn of the dawn

Liu Jianni still knows the industry she has been in for many years. After Wanli Travel refuted the rumors, no investor jumped out to refute it.

However, they did not help in this matter. When they received the interview invitation, they all responded in a unified manner and refused to comment.

Only Xiongchang responded positively, saying that the rumors on the Internet are not true, and the cooperation with Wanli Travel is as usual.

For this reason, Lin Yi also specially expressed his thanks to Li Robin, which somewhat eased the embarrassment between the two parties after the last trip to the United States.

However, the attacks on the Internet couldn't stop for a while, so Lin Yi just ordered to follow his previous instructions.

In fact, this incident on the Internet has little impact on the company's actual business, because as long as users do not directly feel that there is a problem with the company, only a small number of users will care about and see this kind of business news.

If there is any major impact, it may be that Zhang Jiaqi, an intern in the legal department, is complaining crazily.

Lin Yi's request greatly increased their workload, because there were too many people to sue.

Strictly speaking, this is public revenge, since the last time he had an affair with Gu Caiwei, Lin Yi was very upset with some unscrupulous guys on the Internet.

Although it may not be the same group that spoke out this time and last time, in Lin Yi's view, since they all eat this bowl of rice, they are all the same.

Of course, Liu Taishan is not the only one with these two skills, the real money ability of the rich is not only used for verbal battles.

His third ax is coming soon.

In September, Shenzhou Zhuanche announced the completion of the B round of financing, while their previous A round was completed in July, and they received a total of 9 million US dollars within three months.

It's certainly not a small fortune.

It seems that Liu Taishan has already realized that he always engages in those tricks outside the table that can't be put on the table, and he can only scratch the itch, and there is no way to really shake Lin Yi.

Matters on the battlefield must be resolved on the battlefield.

"Shenzhou Private Car just sees that the taxi market is busy and comes in to pick up cheap ones. To put it bluntly, if you enter the market now and eat shit, you can't keep up with the hot ones. What is it enough for?"

"But is there any way we can counter him?"

Lin Yi has been targeted by Liu one after another, although it is not considered a muscle injury, but he is still disgusted by this kind of endless little tricks.

"It's very difficult. If, as you said, the Taishan Group is behind the scenes to launch public opinion attacks on us, then it will be difficult for us to retaliate against him in the same way, because...he has nothing worth attacking."

"Ha ha!"

As soon as Lin understood, what Liu Jianni meant was of course not that Liu Taishan was blameless, but that the other party had long since lost his reputation on the Internet.

There is no need for Lin Yi to bother to find or even fabricate the black material of the Taishan Group. A random search on the Internet can get a lot of information.

Miraculously, they remained unscathed for years.

If Lin Yi really wants to find out those things and re-fry them again, it may not be difficult to create momentum, and it is easy to find people to support.

But it’s really urgent, a certain leader is about to show his influence, put on a good show that will be echoed by hundreds of entrepreneurs, and let hundreds of entrepreneurs stand up and cheer for him, shouting "swear to the death to win the honor defense battle".

In fact, the bosses are all decent people, who they speak to on the surface does not necessarily represent the true thoughts in their hearts, and they can even play tricks on language.

Use the topic to play, just talk for yourself.

In short, Liu Taishan is a very special person, especially if the public opinion points the finger at him, it may arouse a large chain reaction.

"Hey! So there's nothing I can do with him?"

"Strictly speaking, this is the case, but you don't have to belittle yourself because of this. You must know that in the entire business world, there are not many people who are qualified to oppose Liu Taishan. Considering your age, it is already quite an achievement. gone."

Liu Jianni's words were obviously spoken in a very plain tone, but Lin Yi always had a sense of black humor when listening to them.

Well, Lin Yi quickly accepted this reality.

"Then let him be proud for a few days first, and hope that our return to him will not wait until the day when he dies."

……

It wasn't all bad news for Lin Yi recently, there was another thing that he had been waiting for for a long time happened as scheduled.

After the National Day holiday, the group-buying duo Meituan and Dianping announced that they had ended their years of feud, turning hostility into friendship and formally merging into one company.

The news was both unexpected and not unexpected.

The unexpected thing is that after the merger of these two companies, it can be said that they have a dominant position in the group buying market, which has an extremely far-reaching impact on the industry.

Enough for those analysts to write countless reports.

It is said that after the last round of financing, Zhang Xuhao, who was on vacation in Bali and thought he had a chance of winning, was hungry after seeing the news and flew back to China overnight.

Dianping was the most important investor in the previous two rounds, as well as Zhang Xuhao's most important ally in countering the influence of each group.

The team battle is not over yet, and the teammate suddenly GG, who to ask for reasoning?

What is not surprising is that anyone who has followed and observed the industry for a long time will not be difficult to notice that this kind of intentional running-in has lasted for a long time.

What surprised Zhang Xuhao about this result should be that the commentary seems to be willing to let go, although it seems that it is not at a disadvantage.

But if he didn't hear any news, it can only be said that his news in the industry is too closed.

Not only Meituan and Dianping, but also Nuomi under Xiongchang, any two of them have had similar discussions, and it is not surprising that they finally came up with such a combination.

And even ordinary melon-eating people who know nothing outside the industry will feel that this news seems inexplicably familiar.

That's because this isn't the first major merger in the internet industry in 2015.

The earliest was in January, before the Spring Festival, the two major taxi-hailing apps, Dudu and Kuaidu, officially announced their merger. Behind the two parties are Goose Factory and Factory A respectively.

Then in April, Wuba and Ganji, which often run TV commercials, announced their merger.

Then there is each group and Dianping. If there is any drama, it is that the two companies have also announced the appointment of a joint CEO, which will be jointly held by each group's Wang Xing and the original Dianping's boss Zhang.

Now there is no need for Lin Yi to be a prophet. Netizens laughed and said that I have watched this episode.

Anyone who remembers for more than seven seconds should be able to guess that the term of this so-called co-CEO will not exceed one month.

There is more than one similarity between these two mergers. For example, the biggest victims are Xiongchang.

After the merger of Dudu and Kuaidu, Lin Yi's ten-thousand-mile trip was ordered, and he received cold reception for more than half a year, and he has not yet come out.

Wanli Travel was the winner of Xiongchang before.

As for the merger of each group and Dianping, Xiongchang, who had vowed to increase its O2O position with a large amount of money, was the one who took the wax. Li Robin made bold words and said that he would add an additional 200 billion.

Now, should the money be invested or not?

Stimulated by this incident, Xiongchang also began to take stock of the chips in its hands, and then prepared to accelerate the long-planned merger plan.

Yes, this year's wave of mergers is not over yet.

Lin Yi knows that in the remaining three months, there will be several major mergers. This is the so-called big merger year in 2015.

This is determined by the development stage of the industry. Up to now, those who work on the Internet have found that the speed of copying by their peers is too fast, and it is impossible to play any special tricks on the business model.

Therefore, the homogeneity of all players in the industry is too high, and they can only burn money and fight each other. In this situation, the investors who pay the money are the most uncomfortable.

So when they slapped the table, they stopped playing!

Under the will of the various financial backers, including the BAT Big Three that Lin Yi once "singled out", everything happened naturally.

How does the merger of each regiment affect Lin Yi?

The dawn he was waiting for had already seen the light.

Chapter 515 The Way to Defeat the Giants

"Congratulations, Brother Xing."

Lin Yi and Wang Xing are already very familiar with each other. Not only can they show up in the other party's office at any time, but it's also easy to make jokes.

There is a saying that people are in high spirits on happy occasions. Although Wang Xing is not a showy person, the joy on his face can hardly be hidden now.

"There is still a long way to go for each regiment, and there are many difficulties to overcome."

Lin Yi unceremoniously said: "If you really want to be a little humble, can I trouble you to control the curvature of the corners of your mouth a little bit."

These are purely Lin Yi's slanderous words. He had a father who was a businessman and could be influenced by his ears and eyes. How could Wang Xing, who has been working hard for many years after starting his business, be so poor.

Lin Yi didn't come here to make fun of him, so he asked after a few words:

"After the merger, you will become the second company to integrate the two great beasts of Factory A and Goose Factory. How do you plan to deal with them?"

As soon as Wang Xing heard it, he knew that this key issue was the reason for Lin Yi's visit today.

"Of course I hope that Goose Factory and A Factory can support me at the same time. This is very important for the new team that has just merged."

"If Cheng Wei can find a suitable balance between the two, I think there is no reason why each group and I can't."

Lin Yi didn't play sloppy with him: "Let's not talk about whether Cheng Wei can balance the two companies, even if he can do it, is it because of his particularly soft figure or Liu Qing's superb wrist."

"The background of Cheng Wei and Wang Gang is a convenience, and you can't compare in this regard."

"What's more, Cheng Weiwei was originally a member of the Goose Factory. After the merger, he mainly needs to convince Xiao Ma."

"Before you and each group have been hardcore members of the A factory, you ask yourself, do you think you can explain to him with Ma Jieke?"

Lin Yiyi understood this matter so accurately that it was as if he had seen it for himself. Although it was not the first time for Wang Xing to discuss this matter with him, he was still surprised.

Because although both Goose Factory and Factory A agreed to merge each group and Dianping, a troublesome matter arose directly after the merger.

That is, Goose Factory’s shareholding ratio in Dianping is so high that after the merger of the two companies, Goose Factory’s shareholding in Xinmeituan is actually higher than that of Factory A, which has always supported it.

So in the future, each group will be regarded as A factory or goose factory?

Wang Xing thought about it and did not hide it, and chose to share this matter, because no matter what the result is, it will be known to the outside world in an open manner.

"I have already made an appointment with Ma Jieke and Cai Chongxin, and I plan to go to Lin'an to communicate with them face to face, and try to get the understanding of Factory A."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "But what Factory A wants to see is not you trying to win their understanding, but you obediently kicking Goose Factory out?"

"I wouldn't do it."

Wang Xing's tone was very firm, "As I said just now, I will do my best to strive for the best result for each group."

He didn't say what he would do if he couldn't get it, but it was enough for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said to Wang Xing before leaving: "I think the next time we meet, we should be in two hostile camps if there is no accident."

"During the time I've been with you, I think I've learned a lot, especially the sentence you mentioned last time."

"The way to defeat a giant is to become a giant."

……

Lin Yi didn't know what it was like when Wang Xing went to see Ma Jieke and Cai Chongxin, but he expected it would not be too pleasant.

Because after the end, Wang Xing called him: "The matter you asked me two years ago, is it still counted now?"

"What's the matter?"

"You want Forrest Gump."

"Forget it, why not count it?"

After receiving Wang Xing's hint, it seems that it can no longer be called a hint. Even the contact information was given by him, which is almost a direct assist.
