After dinner, Lin Yi and Chen Yutong didn’t return to the office; he drove her to her tutoring class.
After dropping her off, Lin Yi returned to Lingyun Group and went to Qi Xianzhao’s office.
"Director Lin, you’re here."
Seeing Lin Yi, Qi Xianzhao stood up, welcod him in, and asked the secretary to brew a pot of tea.
"How’s the current situation?" Lin Yi asked while sitting on the sofa.
"Still pulling back and forth," Qi Xianzhao said,
"But their stock price remains in decline, even if they try their best to save it, it’s very fragile. Our main pressure is still dostically, where the tech sector and semiconductor industry are struggling to hold on."
"Keep an eye out lately, certain people here might pull so sneaky moves."
Qi Xianzhao understood Lin Yi’s intention.
"Director Lin, you an other than Kaijie Group and the official pressure, people from other companies might stab us in the back?"
"Yes, they might be formidable, so you all need to be prepared to avoid being exploited and try to minimize the impact and pressure."
"We’ll do our best."
"Don’t shoulder all the pressure yourself. If you encounter sothing you can’t handle, hand it over to He Yuanyuan. Whoever she doesn’t like, let her scold them."
"Damn!"
Just then, the door to Qi Xianzhao’s office was pushed open, and He Yuanyuan rushed in from outside.
"Do you believe I’ll strangle you!"
"Damn, why are you outside the door?"
"My assistant said you ca, so I ca to check it out. Just as I reached your door, I heard you badmouthing . I’m going all out against you."
"You can hear through doors, got dog ears."
"Damn! You really never learn your lesson."
"Yuanyuan, calm down, we’re discussing serious business," Qi Xianzhao said,
"Did you hear what Director Lin just said?"
"What did he say? All I heard was him insulting ."
Qi Xianzhao laughed helplessly and explained to He Yuanyuan what Lin Yi had just said.
"Turns out it’s such a ss because soone is causing trouble."
"Yeah, that’s the crux of the issue."
"At such a ti, going empty-handed won’t work. It’s necessary to use real money and pull people together."
Qi Xianzhao nodded in agreent with He Yuanyuan’s statent.
Despite the cutthroat nature of business, sincerity is always crucial.
"My idea is to establish a semiconductor industry association. People who join can gain access to relevant technology, which would make relationships tighter. We get a share of the pie, but others should benefit too."
"We can also set up a semiconductor industry fund. If there’s a shortage of money, it can be accessed from the fund," He Yuanyuan said,
"If they need technology, we provide technology; if they lack money, we provide money. This makes it more appealing."
After pausing for a mont, He Yuanyuan added, "Looking at the current situation, the profit from this short selling is conservatively estimated at around 8 billion. We can take out a billion and put it into the foundation to get things moving."
"Based on 8 billion, taking only a billion might be too little; we’d need at least 2 billion to be more convincing," Qi Xianzhao said.
"2 billion..."
He Yuanyuan muttered, thinking 2 billion seed a bit too much.
Unbeknownst to each other, both looked at Lin Yi.
Though saying nothing, it was clear they were urging him to make a decision.
"No matter how much we profit, we’ll put all of it into the foundation."
"Huh? All of it?"
He Yuanyuan was startled.
"After all our hard work, won’t it be for nothing?"
"Everyone worldwide is watching this short selling. They know how much we profited. I’m taking all the money out to demonstrate my sincerity, and others will feel it too."
Lin Yi said, "At this point, sincerity matters most."
If it weren’t for Shen Shuyi’s call, Lin Yi might have kept a small portion.
But now, there’s no need to keep anything.
As she said, at a certain level, money becos the least useful thing.
His wealth is far less important than the future legacy of the Lin family.
"Are you sure about this? Really going to do it?"
"Of course, but we shouldn’t be limited to just the semiconductor field," Lin Yi said,
"For example, in healthcare, many hospital instrunts are actually imported. We could use part of the money to support research in this area."
"Director Lin, you an whichever aspect of the industrial system is weak, we’ll focus on it?"
"Exactly," Lin Yi said,
"In short, if we’re going to do it, we must show sincerity. Those who are torn will see our sincerity, so those causing trouble behind the scenes will have nowhere to go."
Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan exchanged glances.
Lin Yi’s decision indeed surprised them.
"Start drafting an announcent, don’t just talk with empty promises; be thorough with details. Show when you’re done."
"Got it."
After finishing the business discussion, Lin Yi left, as he didn’t linger at the group. He’d have to pick up Chen Yutong from class soon.
Leaving with Lin Yi was He Yuanyuan; the two took the elevator downstairs together.
"Are you planning sothing else with this approach?"
"No other plans, just to play big against Kaijie Group; otherwise, it’s unsustainable."
"But your approach is indeed brutal, among the entrepreneurs I know, you’re the most ruthless; ordinary people don’t have such boldness."
"Many people understand the reasoning. You and Old Qi know my thod is better than yours, but you can’t bear to part with the money."
"True, that’s 8 billion, not 800 bucks! And we might earn even more. Who could bear putting all the money into the foundation?" He Yuanyuan comnted,
"I do acknowledge your capability in this aspect."
Lin Yi smiled, saying nothing more.
If he hadn’t joined the Central Guards Brigade, experiencing that part of his life, his views wouldn’t differ much from theirs. After all, it’s a large sum; who could relinquish it?
But over the years, eting many people, experiencing life and death, he realized how fragile life is.
This reduced the importance he places on money.
Watching flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard, watching clouds roll in the sky.
Sotis Lin Yi feels this experience might be the best gift from heaven.
"Lin Bro, you’re here too."
Just as they ca out, they saw Gao Zongyuan outside.
No need to ntion, he ca to pick up He Yuanyuan.
"Here for a eting."
"Do you have plans this evening? Want to grab a drink?"
"Lots going on lately, maybe in a few days. You two enjoy yourselves."
"Alright, it’s a promise then."
"Okay."
After chatting briefly, they went their separate ways.
He Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat and said,
"Do you think he has any secret plans, hiding them from us?"
