Chapter 2580: Chapter 2581: The Grand Drama
Lin Yi first drove to the Lingyun Group, where executives from both companies had been waiting for a long ti; then they all left together.
“Director Lin, starting yesterday, there have been fluctuations in the stock market. A large number of people are selling off our stocks. Yesterday, it fell by 7.6%, and it continued to drop after today’s opening. The capital market has begun to vote with their feet,” Tian Yan said.
“This is a normal phenonon. In the capital market, expecting human relationships is too immature. I understand their actions, but it’s fine as long as they don’t kick us when we’re down.”
“But this is just the beginning. I’ve heard that large investnt institutions like Zhongsheng Capital and Yonghang Capital are also substantially reducing their holdings, but no announcents have been made yet, so no one knows the exact figures.”
“It doesn’t matter how much; rain will fall, and daughters will marry. These are things I can’t control,” Lin Yi said:
“Otherwise, when the mist clears, there won’t be any thrill.”
About an hour later, executives from both Lingyun Group and Chaoyang Group arrived at the Zhonghai Purchase Center together.
The project bidding eting was to be held today at 10 a.m.
When the executives got out of the car, they discovered many journalists gathered at the entrance.
Lin Yi tugged at his mask and quietly stood at the back of the crowd, hiding himself with no intention of appearing.
Most journalists did not focus on Lin Yi. They all turned their attention to the executives of Chaoyang Group.
A small portion turned towards Qi Xianzhao.
Because, in their eyes, Qi Xianzhao was the head of Lingyun Group.
And since Chaoyang Group can almost be considered a subsidiary of Lingyun Group, his interview value is unprecedentedly high.
Dozens of financial journalists surrounded the executives of the two companies tightly.
He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan perfectly exemplified the concept of running away when the situation looks bad. Upon seeing the journalists, they imdiately followed Lin Yi away, leaving these troubleso matters to Qi Xianzhao.
The three of them took the elevator to the fourth floor.
As the elevator doors opened, they found the place crowded with hundreds of people.
“What’s going on here? So many big shots have co?” He Yuanyuan said.
“They’re all here to watch the excitent,” Lin Yi said with a smile:
“Such an event is rare in a century; it would be a pity to miss it.”
Lin Yi adjusted his suit, “Let’s go, don’t let them see us make a fool of ourselves.”
The two won also adjusted their uniforms and walked towards the crowd in the resting area.
“Director Lin, you’re finally here.”
The speaker was about 1.8 ters tall, of dium build, with thick brows and big eyes, wearing thin black glasses, giving off a very scholarly vibe.
His na was Shen Nanxiang, a global partner of Redwood Capital.
He was hailed as the godfather of China’s investnt sector. He had invested in many industries where Lin Yi had laid out ventures in the semiconductor industry, making the two of them close partners.
“Why did you co?” Lin Yi said with a smile:
“I rember you don’t usually like watching such scenes.”
“I have a eting tomorrow. I was originally planning to co to Zhonghai tomorrow morning, but I’ve been worried about your situation here, so I ca early to check it out.”
Shen Nanxiang glanced at his watch, “In twenty minutes, the bidding will begin. How prepared are you? Are you confident?”
“Even if I’m not confident, I have to go up; otherwise, how can I continue to mix in Zhonghai?”
“But from what I’ve heard, your situation is very unfavorable this ti, and it seems to be targeted at you. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a huge scene.”
“Wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations, and poverty doesn’t extend beyond the fifth cousin. It’s quite normal,” Lin Yi said with a smile:
“Soone always dies during the New Year; if it’s always sunny, it’s not necessarily a good thing. If there are clouds, you just clear them away.”
“You’re so casual; have you thought of a way to deal with it?”
“Not yet,” Lin Yi replied with a mysterious smile, “but I feel like I won’t lose.”
Shen Nanxiang burst into laughter, “You kid are becoming more and more inscrutable.”
“To get such a comnt from you is an honor.”
“Let’s not talk about such frivolous things between us,” Shen Nanxiang said:
“I ca today mainly to enjoy the action, chat with you, and tell you a piece of news.”
Lin Yi didn’t speak, waiting for Shen Nanxiang to continue.
“I’m not here to undermine you; the money I’ve invested in your company will not be withdrawn. If you get through this ti, we’ll make a fortune together. If there’s a problem, I’ll just take the loss.”
“Please don’t say that; it puts pressure on ,” Lin Yi said:
“Even if you withdraw your investnt now, it wouldn’t affect our relationship. I still have that mindset and perspective.”
“But who can guarantee that you will lose?” Shen Nanxiang said with a smile:
“I’m betting this ti, betting that you’ll get through it, betting that no one can do anything against you.”
“Then, tell the truth, what is your company’s actuarial team’s estimated probability of winning the bid?”
“3.78%.”
“Wow, haha…” Lin Yi laughed, “You’re brave to gamble on this. I fear you might lose everything.”
“I just love that thrilling sensation, like riding a roller coaster.”
“Just for that statent, I must treat you to a al,” Lin Yi said:
“I have two cases of special Maotai in the car, sothing money can’t buy. I’ll have soone load them into your car later.”
“Then I won’t be polite with you, haha…”
“Director Lin, he’s here.”
While the two were talking, Tian Yan leaned over and said.
Lin Yi turned his head to see Zhao Rongyi coming out of the elevator with his people.
Seeing Lin Yi, Zhao Rongyi’s face looked grim as if he wanted to devour soone, but he contained himself and didn’t lose his temper.
“I really underestimated you before. No wonder people say, Master Lin’s single cigarette outranks half of Zhonghai’s sky, your deeply rooted power here indeed surprises .”
“And then? What else do you want to say?” Lin Yi looked at Zhao Rongyi, “Still want to compete with ?”
“I know you’re strong, but Zhao Rongyi is no pushover either. I admit I picked the wrong ti, but your era is over.”
Zhao Rongyi pulled out a blue USB drive from his pocket, “Inside is the electronic version of the bidding docunt. From today onwards, you will be pulled down from the altar. As long as I’m here, you’ll never rise again!”
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, remaining calm and composed.
“Then I wish you could give a surprise. I’ve been in Zhonghai for many years and have yet to et an opponent. Don’t let down.”
“We’ll see!”
With a cold snort, Zhao Rongyi left with his people.
anwhile, the broadcast announced that the bidding session for the participating companies was now officially starting.
