Chapter 2100: Chapter 2100: Lin Yi’s Viciousness

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Heh heh…”

Zhong Yuguo laughed, but it was filled with sarcasm.

“Isn’t it obvious? The few investment projects led by President Shen don’t align with the company’s future development plans at all, which is why we raised objections.”

After Zhong Yuguo finished speaking, everyone’s gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Lin Yi.

They had known about Lin Yi for a long time.

They just never had the opportunity to meet him.

They originally thought that anyone who could build a semiconductor empire in just a few years must have some extraordinary abilities.

But now that they saw him, he didn’t seem like much.

Lin Yi nodded seriously. “I understand what you’re getting at. You all just think these projects aren’t profitable and are afraid the company’s capital chain will break. Am I right?”

“You’re right,” Zhong Yuguo said.

“That’s much easier to deal with. After all, if money can solve the problem, it’s not really a problem.”

“What do you mean, President Lin? Can you make yourself clearer?” Zhong Yuguo said calmly.

He and the others present were curious about what kind of trick Lin Yi would pull.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I just heard Aunt Shen say that this is a trillion-dollar plan. In simple terms, over the next ten years, a trillion will be invested in these three projects. My thought is, let Lingyun Group underwrite the projects. If the returns are really low, or if it impacts Huaran Group’s ability to invest in other projects, then however much is missing, I’ll cover it.”

When they heard this, everyone in the room stared in disbelief, and some even couldn’t stay seated.

It was only at that moment that they realized Lin Yi’s true difference.

Whether or not he could do it, just having the guts to say something like that required immense boldness.

“President Lin, we are all businesspeople, and we must be responsible for what we say,” Zhong Yuguo said.

“I admit that your Lingyun Group has made remarkable achievements and has become the leader in the Huaxian semiconductor industry, but do you really think a trillion dollars is just something you can talk about lightly?”

“I have a decent reputation in this circle. As long as I want it, a trillion dollars won’t be a problem,” Lin Yi said.

“Not to mention my Lingyun Group, just Didi Chuxing under us is worth about that much, and I hold 100% of the shares.”

After speaking, Lin Yi paused for a moment and then added,

“Of course, talking is pointless. We can have the secretary draft the contract right now, and I’ll sign it on the spot. That should put everyone at ease.”

Shen Shuyi sat to the side, smiling.

Lin Yi’s move had left Zhong Yuguo and the others utterly bewildered, to the point where they could barely sit in their chairs.

Lin Yi had spoken so clearly that it was obvious he had the boldness to put up such a sum of money.

But their goal was not really to oppose these three projects.

They wanted to use this opportunity to force Shen Shuyi out!

However, thanks to Lin Yi’s actions, all the problems Shen Shuyi was facing were suddenly solved, and the leverage they had was now useless!

This opportunity had been completely wasted.

“President Lin, there might be something you’re misunderstanding. This is an internal matter of Huaran Group, and you don’t have the right to participate.”

Li Zheng was quicker to react than Zhong Yuguo, immediately blocking Lin Yi’s proposal and giving him no chance.

“What? Does President Li not want me to get involved?” Lin Yi said with a smile. “Or do you think my proposal isn’t good?”

“You must understand, Huaran Group’s nature is not something comparable to private enterprises like yours.” Li Zheng lit a cigarette and said rather unkindly,

“Internal matters of our group are not something you can just step into. You probably don’t have the qualifications.”

“President Li, please put out the cigarette. My Aunt Shen can’t stand the smell of smoke,” Lin Yi said calmly.

“I know you have some influence in Zhonghai, but this is Yanjing, right under the emperor’s nose. Don’t overestimate yourself.”

“I’m well aware that we’re in the capital, but I still suggest you put out the cigarette.”

In an instant, a cold aura emanated from Lin Yi, sending chills down Li Zheng’s spine and freezing him from head to toe.

“President Shen, my apologies. I forgot you can’t stand the smell of smoke.”

Li Zheng found an excuse for himself and extinguished the cigarette. However, when he faced Lin Yi again, his expression grew even darker.

“President Lin, your proposal is completely unrealistic. If that’s all you have to say, I don’t think there’s any need to continue the meeting.”

“Both of our companies have cooperated many times in the past. Why is it unrealistic this time?” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Or is it that your real goal isn’t about profitability, but to push my Aunt Shen out?”

Lin Yi’s casual remark made everyone in the room restless.

They never expected Lin Yi to see right through their intentions!

Bang!

Zhong Yuguo, enraged and humiliated, slammed the table.

“What nonsense are you spouting?! We are only considering the company’s interests. We never had such thoughts!”

“If you haven’t, then that’s for the best. You all can continue the meeting; I won’t get involved.” Lin Yi casually touched his waist and pulled out a black defensive master dagger.

“But if anyone here is having any crooked thoughts, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“What, what are you doing?!”

Zhong Yuguo said in a panic.

“Nothing. Just a little reminder to stop thinking about messing with my Aunt Shen. Acting tough is one thing, but playing with fire is another.”

As Lin Yi finished speaking, he threw the knife, which landed sharply, piercing the big television at the end of the conference table.

The room fell silent, with everyone utterly terrified by Lin Yi’s actions. Not a single person dared to speak.

Except for Shen Shuyi, who remained calm as usual.

Lin Yi doing something like this was no surprise to her.

In her eyes, this was the best way to intimidate these people.

“I’m telling you all, my Aunt Shen is kind-hearted and doesn’t want to deal with you, but don’t push it too far,” Lin Yi continued.

“I’m Lin Yi, just a hooligan who can do anything. Don’t push me to do something bad, or it won’t be good for anyone.”

“What do you think you are? How dare you act wildly here! I’ll call the police and have you arrested right now!” Zhong Yuguo pointed at Lin Yi’s nose as he spoke.

Lin Yi pulled out a scalpel and drove it straight into the solid wooden table.

“Feel free to call the police whenever you like,” Lin Yi said with a cold smile.

“But just know that back in the day, when I broke the legs of those people in the compound, none of them dared make a sound. Do you think I’d be afraid of this? If so, you’re underestimating me.”
