Wedding Countdown

"President Ma, the money's all burned up."

"So soon?"

The standoff among the three markets had consumed a tremendous amount of cash flow in the ride-hailing industry.

Bibi and Kuaidi's funds had been burned through in an instant, and both had entered a relatively weakened phase.

Thus, at President Ma's instruction, the remaining thirty million yuan was quickly transferred. Kuaidi, meanwhile, had also received an investment of over fifty million yuan.

The Hornet, on the other hand, had developed rapidly after changing its route. On top of that, it seemed to have received Jiang Qin's true teachings, and venture capital firms had helped it secure a sizable round of financing.

This was the gradual shift from market advantages to capital advantages.

Put simply, the larger the market, the more optimistic capital became. Most importantly, capital had Jiang Qin—the iron-blooded tyrant it was most optimistic about—standing behind it.

Given the circumstances, the market standoff seemed likely to continue.

During the Group Buying War, Lashou, Sui Xin Group, Nuomi, and later Pintuan had faced off in Shanghai for over a year. Even after Pintuan defended its position, many opponents had continued to return for another assault.

Everyone had grown wiser afterward and knew that a prolonged standoff would lead nowhere. Yet when it was their own turn, no one was willing to let go first.

Some experts estimated that this standoff would likely continue until the beginning of next year.

"Bibi currently has a huge advantage, but Kuaidi isn't weak at all. Its later-stage push has been extremely fierce. It seems to have been holding back during the early stages."

"Most frightening of all, the Hornet's team seems to have had an epiphany after meeting Jiang Qin. Its guerrilla tactics are remarkably ingenious, with a hint of Blue Butterfly Gliding Through Clouds."
