“W-what did you say? You are President Lin from the Lingyun Group?!”

“Surprising isn’t it?”

“It’s indeed a little out of my expectations.” Cao Jingqiu calmed herself down.

This piece of news had indeed had a huge impact on her.

She did not expect to meet this big shot who wanted to invest in her in such a manner.

“Can you sit down now?”

“Of course.”

“Do you still think I’m a scumbag?”

“No, I don’t. You’re a good person.”

“Your attitude changed so fast that I don’t even dare to invest in you anymore.”

“I can’t help it. Who asked you to be rich? Our financing plan is set for 14 million. If you invest more, my attitude might become even more enthusiastic,” Cao Jingqiu said with a smile.

Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table twice. “I’ll invest 20 million.”

“Oh? You invested 6 million more for no reason. Are you trying to hit on Me? President Lin, you’re really daring.”

......

“36% of the shares.”

Cao Jingqiu’s expression froze as she started to re-examine Lin Yi. She didn’t expect him to bring this up.

“According to the normal equity pricing, 20 million will only get you 32% .”

“But this is an angel stage investment. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll continue investing in the Series A and Series B.” Lin Yi pried open the leg of a king crab. “Other companies can’t give you that much money.”

“14 million is already more than most companies can offer. Now, President Lin is adding another 6 million. Is there any other reason behind this?”

Cao Jingqiu’s sharp business sense surprised Lin Yi.

It was much better than Cao Xiangyu’s.

“If I said I saw your company’s potential, you’d think I was bragging,” Lin Yi said.

“But if I said I was looking at your boobs and back, you’d think I was a jerk. In this scenario, I will choose not to invest 20 million anymore. So, let’s go with your original financing plan of 14 million.”

At this time, no matter how he answered, he would fall into Cao Jingqiu’s trap.

Therefore, hecouldn’t answer directly.

Lin Yi’s reversal of the situation made Cao Jingqiu unsure of what to do.

“I know Lingyun Group is rich, but from what I know, every possible invesment for a venture capital company should be strictly scrutinized. Why is Director Lin being so casual about this?”

“Lingyun Group is already so rich. Do you think 6 million is a lot of money to us?”

“Of course,” Cao Jingqiu said. “If President Lin didn’t have such an interest in this investment, why would he meet me here in the middle of his busy schedule?”

“I came here to have a meal and coincidentally invited you here. Is there a problem?”

“But why did you choose this place? Isn’t it to make the deal official?”

“Peninsula Hotel is one of my businesses, I don’t pay for my meals here.”

Cao Jingqiu, “…”

Even though she looked calm, Cao Jingqiu was still shocked. She didn’t expect this hotel to be his.

Perhaps this was just a microcosm. Lingyun Group had more tentacles in other industries than she thought.

“Okay, 20 million, 36% of the shares.”

“Let’s sign the contract.”

The two signed the investment contract, and Lin Yi established a preliminary relationship with Cao Jingqiu.

The next step was to prevent her from getting involved in Cisco’s business.

However, based on the current situation, it seemed that Cao Jingqiu wasn’t interested in Cisco at all.

Otherwise, with Cisco’s current size, she wouldn’t care about this little bit of money.

“Director Lin, when are you planning to send someone over?” Cao Jingqiu asked.

In the investment field, venture capital companies would usually send someone after confirming their investment, but it was just for show and they didn’t have much power.

“I’m not going to send anyone, I believe in your ability.”

“We’ve only met once, yet you believe in my ability?”

“You can even clear the name of an idiot like Li Qingfeng, so what do I have to be afraid of?” Lin Yi said.

“Business is business. As long as you can make a profit, it’s fine, but you still have to hand in a post-deployment report.”

“That’s easy to say. I’m working on it, but the direction of the post-deployment is in the media industry. Do you have any pointers, President Lin?”

“The media industry is good,” Lin Yi said. “Sign more beautiful actresses, but none which are too young. It’s against the law if you’re under eighteen.”

“I understandwhat you are getting at.” Cao Jingqiu said with a smile.

“Since you’re so generous, I’ll do you a favor too.”

“What favor?”

“Didn’t you scam Li Qingfeng today? That b*stard didn’t want to let it go and is looking to get someone to deal with you.”

“Did his brain get eaten by a dog?”

“It’s possible it was completely devoured.”

“Okay, I’ll handle this.”

Ring, ring, ring…

At that moment, Cao Jingqiu’s phone rang, and she picked it up elegantly.

“I’m thinking about it, let’s not talk about it for now.”

“Don’t we have my brother at home? Let him handle it. I’m a woman, I won’t get involved.”

“We’ll see. I’m in the middle of something. We’ll talk when we have time.” Cao Jingqiu said.

The call was short, and Cao Jingqiu soon hung up. Even so, Lin Yi managed to gather some useful information from this.

The person who called her should be her father, Cao Jiadong.

From his tone, it sounded like he wanted her to go back and take over his job.

She just didn’t have any thoughts of doing os.

Poor Cao Xiangyu. He was doing his best, but Cao Jiadong seemed to have already excluded him.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so bad?” Lin Yi asked casually.

“It’s something at home. My head hurts just thinking about this.”

“What’s wrong? Does your family wants you to earn money and buy a house for your brother?”

“With our family’s situation, we don’t need to worry about a house.” Cao Jingqiu took a sip of coffee. “It’s just some trivial matters. My dad can’t handle it and wants me to help.”

“I really didn’t see that coming. It’s a big family.”

“It’s just a small business.” Cao Jingqiu didn’t say too much to Lin Yi. “There’s something at home that I need to take care of. Please excuse me.”

“Okay.”

CaoJingqiu left while Lin Yi ate his food silently.

The last sentence she said before she left revealed a lot of information.

Although she was independent, she didn’t seem to be completely separated from the rest of the family. If that was the case, Lin Yi had to be more cautious in the future.

Ring, ring, ring…

At this time, Lin Yi’s phone rang. He realized that it was Shen Tianzhuo calling.

“Director Shen, it’s already two o’clock in the morning in the United States. Why are you still in the mood to call me?”

“Programmers don’t have a regular schedule,” Shen Tianzhuo teased.

“Then you must not be a good programmer, because your hair is too luxuriant.”

“Haha, it’s fun talking to you.” Shen Tianzhuo laughed.

“I just finished my work, so I thought to give you a call since I was bored.”

“When are you coming back? I’ll pick you up.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“I can’t hide anything from you.” Shen Tianzhuo said.

“I’ve decided. I’ll be back in a few days. Get your money ready. It’s going to be a big project.”
