Josem was stunned when he saw the dollars in the box.
In Huaxia, 5 million yuan was not enough to buy a house in a first-tier city. However, because of the exchange rate, 5 million dollars was a considerable amount of wealth.
Although he had been in office for more than three years and many people had given him under-the-table income, he had never seen such a large amount.
“Mr. Lin, what are you trying to do?” Josem didn’t know what Lin Yi was planning.
However, seeing so much money at once, he could not remain calm.
Lin Yi pulled a chair over and poured himself a glass of red wine.
“I think you’ve already made your decision.”
…..
“You’re talking about Ms. Tian.”
“What else? What do you think I’m here for? To introduce you to a partner so you can have a twilight romance?”
“I’m very sorry, we haven’t reached a conclusion yet. You need to go back and wait,” Josem said with a shrug.
“If that’s the case, there’s no need to continue today’s conversation.” Lin Yi finished the red wine in his glass. “Thank you for the wine. It seems to be from a wooden barrel. It tastes good.”
With that, Lin Yi closed his briefcase and prepared to leave.
“Hey, Mr. Lin, what are you trying to do?” Josem stopped Lin Yi from behind. “I think we can talk.”
“That’s what I was asking. 1 need a straight answer.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Josem said, “We can let this go, but you have to promise me something.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
“Don’t use your shares in Cymer and Intel to disturb Meiguo’s business development.”
“Haha…”
Lin Yi smiled. “You Meiguons are so humorous. You’re secretly obstructing others, but you can’t allow others to obstruct you? Isn’t that too two-faced?”
Josem didn’t really know what “two-faced” meant, but he could guess that Lin Yi was cursing himself for being selfish.
“I’m not in charge of this, so there’s nothing I can do about it,” Josem said innocently. “But I hope you can do it.”
“First of all, you’re not qualified to negotiate with me. I’ve already taken her away. You have to reevaluate your position.”
“No!”
Josem said, “What you’re doing is dishonest. We re only temporarily returning the person to you. This matter hasn’t been completely resolved!”
“Are you talking about righteousness and morality with me?” Lin Yi asked.
“Do 1 look like a good person? Why do you trust me so much?”
Josem didn’t say anything. He felt like he’d fallen into a trap.
“But don’t worry, I’m a businessman. As long as you don’t go overboard, I won’t fight you to the death.” Lin Yi said.
“And I’m here today to discuss something with you. If you’re willing to cooperate with me, the money is yours, and no one will know a thing about it.”
Josem didn’t say anything. He looked at Lin Yi and then at the dollars on the ground.
It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.
“What do you want me to do?”
“File a lawsuit against Tian Yan and myself!”
At eight in the evening, Lin Yi drove back to the embassy.
“President Lin, you’re finally back.”
Knowing that Lin Yi was back, Tian Yan went to his room immediately.
“Is something wrong?”
“The situation in Huaxia isn’t very good. Longxin and Didi’s shares are still falling.” Tian Yan said.
“Among the companies we invested in, six of them are listed companies. The market isn’t very good either. At this points, we’ve lost more than ten billion yuan. Even the science and technology innovation board has become unstable. President Qi called me just now and said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the financial regulatory authorities are going to the company today to talk to the executives. The matter has blown up a little.”
“They’re coming to the company?”
“Yes, it is.”
“It’s not a big problem.” Lin Yi wasn’t anxious at all.
There were two types of visits. One was when the leaders of the relevant departments took the initiative to go over, and the other was when they requested you to go over and see them.
Although it was only a matter of who left and who stayed, the nature of the two was worlds apart.
If the heads of the departments only went to the Lingyun Group to talk to the relevant leaders, it just meant that they wanted to understand the actual situation better.
They would only give some verbal orders after this. It was not a real issue and would not cause any substantial impact.
But if they asked you to go over to talk, you had to be careful.
This was because you were very likely to receive a ban. If that were the case, it would be quite detrimental.
Other than that, he still had Shen Shuyi in Huaxia. Due to this, Lin Yi was not worried at all.
If she still had not called him, it meant that his company was fine.
“You’re so calm. Is there someone protecting us?” Tian Yan probed.
“It’s a little much to say that someone is protecting us. It’s just that this person is backing us up. There will definitely be some impact, but it won’t hurt us,” Lin Yi said.
“By the way, you have to be mentally prepared. You might have to appear in court in a few days.”
Tian Yan’s worries were justified as Longxin and Didi were both affected.
Huaxia’s science and technology innovation board fell drastically like a submarine.
Shen Shuyi had been watching all this, but she did not do anything.
The upper limit of the stock market was nothing.
At their size, many things could be controlled.
It was only at this moment that she realized that the Lingyun Group had developed into a behemoth.
He was the only person in Huaxia who could shake the entire scientific innovation board by himself.
Shen Shuyi sat calmly on the fishing platform. She was not in a hurry and did not even have any intention of dealing with this.
However, at this moment, the regulators could not sit still anymore.
If the science and technology innovation board continued to fall like this, it was very likely that it would be used by someone with ulterior motives. If that happened, this incident would be whipped into a storm. In the end, the people who would suffer the most from this would be the ordinary people. This was not good.
So, the day after the company visit, the regulators issued the ‘Plan and Statement for the Semiconductor Industry’.
The main message was to mention the various subdivisions and ensure policy support.
They were just short of telling the others that they were supporting the Lingyun Group and not to cause any more trouble.
Due to this reason, the stocks of Longxin and Didi quickly stopped falling and even started to rise again.
However, the strange thing was that this statement supporting the Lingyun Group could not be found the next day.
It was as if it had never appeared. However, Longxin and Didi’s shares were already at a very stable state by that point. There were no other fluctuations.
This had achieved their goal.
However, this incident alerted Shen Shuyi.
A red-headed document had disappeared just like that. This was completely unheard of.
However, the sharp Shen Shuyi smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Her intuition told her that the person who was stirring up trouble in the dark might have made a move..
