Chapter 432: Chapter 202: Clearly Had the Advantage—How Did I Lose? (Part 2)

Ye Bingcheng smiled and said, "Actually, it’s not a big deal. If I don’t gamble, I’ll just retire with my current title, but if I win the gamble, I can change things."

He’s currently considered a deputy.

Feng Jianhui said, "Li Yang is being stubborn this time, refusing to settle, and has offended quite a few people."

"If you have the strength, you’re not afraid to offend people." Ye Bingcheng showed full confidence.

Feng Jianhui was quite surprised, as this statement wasn’t untrue, but how many people in the world can really achieve that?

Strength also depends on the phase, who can always win?

Feng Jianhui said, "Why do I feel like Li Yang isn’t very fond of me?"

"If just seeing someone makes them fond of you, it shows they’re not worth recruiting. Not being fond is proof of strength."

"He’s just a college student..."

"He’s a Jing University student managing billions."

"He failed his exams."

"His roommate didn’t fail, his classmates didn’t fail... and Jiang Banxia is quite young too..."

Before Ye Bingcheng made a decision, he definitely gathered a lot of information.

If he didn’t have any certainty at all, he certainly wouldn’t risk it.

In this current environment, even Bai Jingxuan doesn’t dare to step out in support of Li Yang. If he dares to act, it represents the potential consequences he might face.

Taking responsibility surely means there are benefits to gain.

Going to Jiangbei, that’s his benefit.

Feng Jianhui: "I still feel you’re overthinking. You support Li Yang, indeed making it harder for Cen Family to shirk responsibility, but even if it exhausts them, your efforts and gains aren’t proportional."

"The gains are for the future."

"Does Extreme Shadow Cars have a future? Li Yang has hinted about emigrating. Whether he does it or not, having said it, whatever happens next, everyone will be cautious."

Ye Bingcheng remained silent. He was betting on Li Yang himself, not the so-called company.

It’s the same for Green Water Group; there are no visible gains yet.

...

On the seventeenth day of the first month, Li Yang drove to the Capital City, with classes starting on the eighteenth.

Bai Qing didn’t come along, might wait until March or April to find time to come to the Capital City.

"Woohoo, haven’t seen Master Jiang in a while, let me regain some feel."

Jiang Banxia lowered her head and softly said, "It’s only been ten days."

Li Yang retorted, "As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, these ten days feel like thirty years to me."

"Oh come on, it means three seasons."

"Ah? I thought it meant three autumns, representing three years?"

"Hhh, Master Li is uneducated!"

"It doesn’t matter, as long as there’s someone!"

Li Yang didn’t quite understand the exact meaning, but he used it anyway.

Xue Ning gets excited, Bai Qing feels satisfied, and Jiang Banxia, this size, is eternal.

Every angle is just right.

"Hmm... it’s soon to break five billion."

"Impressive! I’ll rely on you to support me then, remember to pay me a salary."

"Hmm, Master Li..."

"What’s up?"

"Kiss me."

...

In places Li Yang couldn’t see, countless games were played.

In places Li Yang could see, games were also taking place.

Li Yang went to the Hellobike Electric Vehicle office to check out the company’s operations.

This company can be said to have an unbeatable start.

Almost equivalent to unlimited funds and resources domestically.

Such a company, even if it’s a pile of crap, can scale up.

With Ali’s QR code scan, you can ride a bike without a deposit, plus there’s a dedicated entrance on Ali, leading by unknown generations ahead of ofo.

After all, most people aren’t willing to download an app just to ride, and David can’t get big companies to give him resources, especially since he chose money in two rounds of financing.

Since he chose money, having fewer resources is normal.

Who can be like Li Yang, investing two hundred million, taking only 30% of shares, using the rest to buy resources?

Ali only put in twenty million, Shunwei Capital fifty million, Baoshan Investment forty million, even combined they didn’t put more money than Li Yang.

Yet the three took 70% of the shares, and the money not put in was all exchanged for resources.

Li Yang reviewed a bunch of reports and gained some understanding of the real business war.

The regional manager of ofo Yellow Bikes secretly went to deflate Hellobike Electric Vehicle’s tires, scattered nails on the seats, stole helmets...

These are all talents!

Though they had lawsuits, Li Yang decided to poach these people.

If he could poach them, he wouldn’t pursue their responsibilities, if they refused to switch jobs, then he would pursue them to the end.

The electric vehicles had just launched about ten days ago and were already spread throughout the Capital City.

The advantage of electric vehicles is that they save effort, they’re fast, and not too expensive; currently new registered users are mostly riding for free.

The disadvantage is you can’t use them as fitness equipment, and in current temperatures, the speed can feel chilly.

However, the user overlap with shared bikes is high, both sides are officially in competition.

Business competition is about money and resources.

David ran out of money.

He wanted to continue financing, but given his stingy nature and harsh conditions, hardly any ventures were willing to join at this moment.

David ran white with worry.

Because he suddenly realized the crucial importance of resources in startups.

At first, he only wanted money, thinking that as long as he had money, he could solve everything without needing a large scale.

But when faced with a competitor, he found out that money isn’t enough.

Penguin contacted him, willing to add shared bike entrance in WeChat, but... the conditions are harsh.
