âI know that. Thereâs no need to care about the short-term gains and losses. This wonât amount to much money.â
âGot it, President Lin. 1â11 prepare it shortly.â
Lin Yi only knew that the Wang family was the number one family in Yanjing, but he didnât know how strong they were.
Even if he was not at fault in this matter, and even if the Wang family would be properly dealt with in the end, the higher-ups would still beat the Lingyun Group up for their sake.
Therefore, Lin Yi needed to take precautions. After all, Didi had already reached the level of a monopoly in the transport industry, so he chose to proactively expose certain issues to the public without causing significant harm to themselves. This would make it difficult for others to find fault in it in the future.â
âThatâs all I want to say for todayâs meeting. Go back and prepare. Just wait for me to update you.â
âGot it, President Lin,â everyone said in unison.
âMeeting dismissed!â
Lin Yi got up and left the meeting room, returning to his office.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Lin Yi had just arrived at the office when someone knocked on the door.
âCome in.â
The door was pushed open, and the head of the legal department, Ma Huaiyang, walked in.
âPresident Lin, I want to tell you about the development of Sacred Farm Development.â
âSacred Farm Development?â
Lin Yi muttered to himself. It was only then that he remembered that they had come to his place to steal things a few days ago and even tried to sue him.
He had been so busy recently that he had forgotten about this.
âI remember now. Howâs it going?â
âWe filed a lawsuit the next day, and we won.â Ma Huaiyang said.
âThe court has sentenced Sacred Farm Development to compensate us for damages to our reputation, patent infringement fees, malicious competition, and six other business compensations. The total amount is 289 million yuan.â
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to be compensated so much money.
However, the thing was that this matter involved Lin Yi, so it became abnormal.
The court clearly knew that the Lingyun Group was under Lin Yi, and he had an extraordinary relationship with Mayor Liang, so they naturally stood on his side.
Due to this, he was awarded a large sum. It was the maximum amount allowed by law.
âThatâs a lot of money. I didnât even think of it.â
Initially, Lin Yi wanted to investigate this matter further. There was no reason not to pursue the matter since he was trying to be pretentious in the first place.
However, there had been a lot of things going on recently, so he was not in the mood to focus on this matter anymore.
It didnât matter how much money he had. He just had to teach them a lesson.
âAfter we won the lawsuit, the court gave them seven days, but seven days have passed. They have no intention of compensating us.â
âTheyâre that bold?â Lin Yi was so angry that he laughed. He felt that this Sacred Farm Development was really quite something.
The court had already sentenced them, but they still refused to pay.
A bunch of tigers.
âIâve already called and negotiated many times, but they just donât have the intention to pay up the money. They just said that thereâs no money in the account and that they need to wait for a few days. This is clearly a rejection. Itâs impossible for such a big company to not be able to fork out this amount of money.â
âWhat do you think?â Lin Yi looked up.
âBecause it was originally prosecuted in your name. I want you to sign an authorization for me. I want to apply to the court for enforcement.â
âThereâs no need to go through so much trouble. After weâre done with this matter, come with me.â Lin Yi stretched and said.
âTo deal with such a pretentious person, we have to use the simplest method.â
âGot it, President Lin.â
Ma Huaiyang nodded and left Lin Yiâs office.
âSighâ¦â
Ma Huaiyang shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, âWhy do you have to posture against President Lin? Youâre really not his match.â
In the office, Lin Yi set aside the matter regarding Sacred Farm Development.
It was not a big deal. He could deal with them at anytime.
He still had to prioritize the matter at hand.
Lin Yi closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, planning out the entire process.
He only felt truly at ease after perfecting the details.
All that was left was to wait for news from Shen Shuyi.
However, Lin Yi had his own decision in his heart. He could only wait until midnight.
If it dragged on for too long, the Wang and Han families would also notice.
To be able to reach their current scale, these two families were not fools.
As the saying went, one had to pee a lot at night. Twelve oâclock in the morning was his deadline.
On this day, the Liang family in Yanjing was busier than Lin Yi had imagined.
They knew that this was an opportunity, but they could not guarantee the success of the operation. They could only do their best.
Otherwise, the Liang familyâs future development would come to an end. It would be very difficult for them to improve in the future.
In the office, Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.
It was a sunny day and the sun was shining brightly.
However, this unknown storm was quietly unfolding.
Some people would be blown to death by the violent winds, while others would soar ninety thousand miles into the sky.
However, no one knew which fate would befall them.
Huangjiang Guild Hall.
Peng Qingzhou, Zhu Zhifeng, Xu Tianjun, and Lu Gaoyue gathered together again.
âOld Xu, are you sure thereâs no problem with the news on your side? Can you give me a definite answer?â Peng Qingzhou said.
âThe deadline for compensation has passed today.â
Xu Tianjun leaned back in his chair and waved his hand pretentiously.
The beauty in the cheongsam behind him walked over and quietly poured a cup of tea. Xu Tianjun lit a cigarette and said,
âThe previous news was still a little unclear, so I didnât bother explaining everything to you. But today, thereâs been news. Guess what?â
âHurry up and tell me. Donât keep me in suspense,â Peng Qingzhou said impatiently.
âDonât be so impatient. Thereâs something else that you probably canât imagine. Listen up. Itâs really quite interesting.â Xu Tianjun changed his posture and said.
âLin Yi is indeed a talent. He secretly set up a company in Meiguo that was in charge of global procurement for his Lingyun Group. Although this isnât illegal, Meiguo definitely wouldnât agree. In addition, heâs too arrogant and despotic. Thus, he was reported. Now, he and a vice president of their company have been arrested. It seems like heâs going to be sentenced.â
âOh my god, is this for real? This is big news!â
Peng Qingzhou and the other two couldnât sit still anymore and almost jumped up.
âThis is too much.â
âThatâs why I said that Lin Yi is a genius. I got himself trapped like this.â
âHeâs an entrepreneur in Huaxia and has a lot of influence. Huaxia wonât just let Meiguo do whatever they want,â Zhu Zhifeng said.
âThatâs true, but weâre talking about Meiguo. When have they ever been reasonable? Even if heâs not jailed, if they keep him detained in Meiguo, itâs no different from being jailed.â Xu Tianjun looked at Peng Qingzhou and said.
âTherefore, donât worry. He wonât be able to come back anymore. Heâs basically crippled. Moreover, there are many people above who have long disliked him. It wonât be long before Lingyun Group collapses. At that time, you can help yourself to a gift without having to compensate a single penny. Who knows, you might even be able to acquire his technology and seize the opportunity to develop further.â
âHaha, thatâs great.â Peng Qingzhou laughed and said, âI was worried that I wouldnât be able to sleep well for the past few days. Now, thereâs no need to worry.â
âWhy else would you say that? Opportunities are fought for. Look, such an opportunity has now appeared.â
âHe was really asking for it,â Lu Gaoyue said.
âHe doesnât even understand Huaxiaâs business policy. He acts so recklessly,
so something was bound to have happened sooner or later.â
âThatâs why they say, young people shouldnât do business. We may lose some money, but this guy has put his life at stake.â Xu Tianjun said, âLetâs wait for the good news. The more interesting developments are yet to come..â
