âAre you sure itâs okay?â
Lin Yiâs words stunned the three of them.
Wasnât it good that everything went smoothly?
Did something have to happen?
âEverything went quite smoothly. After all, the two companies earned more than 100 million US dollars in profits, so they were very cooperative,â Qi Xianzhao said.
âThe project managers of the two companies also said that they want to come to our company to take a look and do a tour inspection soon. From the looks of it, they might want to do a long-term partnership.â
âYou guys can handle this kind of thing.â Lin Yi said.
âIf there are any other relevant collaborations in the future, we donât need to take them. You can direct them to Huarun Group for such matters. Let them handle the operations, and we can act as intermediaries to make some profit from acting as the pimp.â
âIâm good at this.â He Yuanyuan said.
âPimp?â
âSh*t, I mean we can earn our fees from being the middlemen.â
Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, the atmosphere in the office was obviously much more relaxed.
âPresident Lin, do you have time now? Itâs almost the end of the year. Iâve formulated a companyâs development plan for the new year. I want to talk to you about this and see if thereâs anything you want to modify.â
âSure.â
Lin Yi changed his posture. âSince the three of you are here, letâs have a small meeting and talk about these things.â
âPresident Tian, do you want to go first?â Qi Xianzhao said.
âItâs better if you go first. My work plan is based on your discussion. Itâs meaningless for me to go first.â
âAlright then.â
Qi Xianzhao cleared his throat and said,
âThe three-nanometer photolithography machine project has been set up. This is the most important thing for the company in the new year. Secondly, we are raising the priority of the chip and mobile phone business to solidify our status in the industry and a stable source of income.â
Lin Yi nodded. There was nothing wrong with Qi Xianzhaoâs plan.
âNext, I plan to establish a new laboratory and, based on our position in the semiconductor and chip industry, create an Internet of Things (loT) ecosystem to usher people into a smart era.â
âTell me more about this loT plan.â
âIn simple terms, I want users to treat their home, including the ownerâs car and garage, as an electronic commodity. They can use our chips as the brain to control various units inside the house, such as the television, air conditioner, washing machine, electric lights, and more. This enables a highly intelligent way of living.â
Lin Yi pondered for a few seconds.
âGo on.â
âNext is the overseas arrangement of semiconductors and chips,â Qi Xianzhao said.
âAlthough we have successfully developed the most advanced photolithography machine and have already put it into production, compared to ASML, Jaewon Television, and Samsung, our products are not famous enough. Therefore, I plan to try to expand the international market next year and turn Lingyun Group into an international company.â
Lin Yi nodded. Shen Shuyi often said that Qi Xianzhao was a talented person. As long as he was nurtured and given a big enough stage, he would definitely become a famous figure in the future.
Now that he looked at it, she was right.
From both the big picture and the global perspective, He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan were slightly inferior to him.
âThese are the general direction of the companyâs development next year. President Lin, please give me some suggestions.â
Lin Yi looked at He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan.
âWhat do you two think?â
âWeâve already seen it beforehand. We were aware of the content. I donât think thereâs anything wrong with it.â He Yuanyuan said.
âBut 1 think weâll be very busy next year. I suggest President Lin increase our salary.â
âAlright, your suggestion is invalid.â
âDamn.â
âThereâs nothing wrong with the proposal itself, but let me add some details.â
Hearing Lin Yiâs words, the three of them subconsciously sat up straight.
Lin Yi was a boss who didnât handle things himself. He wouldnât speak unless it was something important.
Once he was about to speak, it meant something big would definitely happen.
âDo you know why I spent so much effort to develop a photolithography machine and a new mobile phone operating system?â
âOut of fear of a monopoly.â said Tian Yan.
âYes,â Lin Yi said.
âTo me, making money is very important, but my sense of mission is more important.â
Lin Yi changed his posture.
âLet me ask you a very simple question. What software do you use when drawing?â
âCAD,â Tian Yan said.
âWhat software is Finance using?â
âThe SAP from Deguo.â
âWhat software does the chip design use?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEDA of Meiguo Synopsys,â Qi Xianzhao said.
âI wonât say anything else. Looking at these three things alone, two of them are Meiguon, and the other is Deguon. If they try to choke us out, how will Lingyun Group continue operating? Can any of you give me an answer?â
âWellâ¦â
Lin Yiâs question stunned the three of them, and they didnât know how to answer.
Because this was a very terrifying thought.
If the three software companies stopped serving Lingyun Group, more than 80% of the Lingyun Groupâs business would be paralyzed.
âSuch a thing is unlikely to happen.â He Yuanyuan voiced her thoughts.
âItâs unlikely, but that doesnât itâs impossible.â Lin Yi said.
âIndividuals are insignificant in the face of national interest. When that time comes, no one will be able to stay neutral.â
âOld Qiâs plan is to venture into international waters next year. To make money, we must snatch meat from othersâ mouths. When their interests are violated, anything can happen.â
âPresident Lin, do you mean that these projects will be the core of next yearâs development?â
âI canât say that itâll be the core, but these things have to be taken seriously. A technology company should maintain a proper appearance,â Lin Yi said.
âOther projects also need to be developed, we canât neglect them. After all, the group still has so many employees, and we canât rely on love alone. We still need to make money.â
âI understand, President Lin. Iâll go back and perfect this proposal.â
âThen Iâll have to take my plan back and revise it. Weâll report it together.â
Lin Yi nodded and looked at He Yuanyuan. âWhat about you? Do you have anything to report?â
âMy plan for the new year is to raise my salary.â
âAlright, meeting adjourned.â
He Yuanyuan,ââ¦â
After the three of them left, Lin Yi drove to Huashan Hospital to have lunch with Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin and change his dressing.
Originally, Li Chuhan was the one to do this job, but since Qiao Xin had volunteered, Li Chuhan didnât think too much about it. It was just a change of dressing, and there wasnât any technical difficulty, so she let Qiao Xin take over.
However, during this process, all the nurses from the cardiology department surrounded Lin Yi and sat around him.
They looked at Lin Yi eagerly and licked their lips as they watched.
âCan you guys behave? My name is Lin Yi, not Tang Sanzang.â
âItâs mainly because your abs are too tempting. Can I lick them?â A long-haired nurse said..
