Zhao Mo was silent for a few seconds.
Lin Yi’s words surprised him.
He had only played a small trick in the dark. He did not expect him to decypher so much from it.
“It looks like Cisco was never your target. You must have been waiting for me to come out.”
“Of course, none of the Cao family members can put up a fight. It’s meaningless to toy with them.”
“Alright, then let’s spar. I hope you’ll be an opponent that I can respect.”
“Don’t be so hostile. In order to welcome you, I even prepared a welcome gift for you. One has to be polite, right?”
“A welcome gift? What do you mean?”
“Don’t worry, you’ll know soon.”
With that, Lin Yi hung up. Liang Ruoxu hurriedly asked,
“Are you lying to Zhao Mo about the welcome gift?”
“I usually only fool you. How could I fool someone like Zhao Mo?”
Liang Ruoxu’s expression changed drastically, “What are you going to do?”
“Don’t worry, you’ll find out later.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi picked up his phone and called Liu Yinxi.
“Let’s get to work.”
Lin Yi hung up after giving a simple order.
Liang Ruoxu sat on the chair with a headache.
What was Lin Yi doing?
Was he really going to fight Zhao Mo to the death?
…
Huashan Hospital, cardiology department, ICU.
Cao Jiadong weakly lay on the bed with Cao Xiangyu and Cao Jingqiu by his side.
After being angered by Lin Yi twice during the day, Cao Jiadong was sent here.
As the best hospital in Zhonghai, Huashan Hospital was always the first choice for the rich.
Cao Jiadong’s condition was worse than expected.
Even though Zhao Wen was angered to the point of vomiting blood by Lin Yi back then, because of their difference in age, Zhao Wen was once again full of energy after resting for a few days.
Cao Jiadong’s condition was much worse. He might even have to undergo a cardiac stent procedure.
However, at this moment, other than the three people from the Cao family, there was also a man in his thirties in the ward.
The man was well-proportioned, standing at about 1.8 meters tall. He had a simple buzz cut and was wearing a light blue shirt. He also had on a pair of leather shoes handmade by an Italian craftsman. He stood there with a dignified aura, causing the atmosphere in the ward to turn cold.
This man was Zhao Mo.
“Director Zhao, we were negligent in this matter,” Cao Jiadong said from the hospital bed.
“It’s not your fault. I didn’t expect him to buy Didi in secret. Moreover, he hid his moves very well. You didn’t lose by your own fault,” Zhao Mo said.
“Actually, he knew of my existence since long ago and had been waiting for me to enter the arena. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t take Cisco seriously.”
“But I’m a little puzzled. During the call just now, he said that he had prepared a greeting gift. What tricks is he playing now?” Cao Jiadong said.
“This is between him and me. Don’t worry about it.”
Sitting at the side, Cao Jingqiu knitted her brows and remained silent.
With Lin Yi’s character, this gift would not just be for show.
Moreover, Zhao Mo had already said that Lin Yi had been waiting for him to join the battle.
In that case, whatever he prepared for Zhao Mo would definitely not be small.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even bother to do it. Something small wouldn’t match Lin Yi’s style of doing things.
Once again, that bad feeling vaguely spread within her.
What Lin Yi was going to do next might surprise Zhao Mo.
Cao Jiadong, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at Zhao Mo shakily.
“Director Zhao, can Cisco still be saved?”
“The chances of doing happening is very slim. In order to supply the three billion yuan goods, Cisco’s capital chain was already stretched extremely tight. Moreover, they still have to deal with the compensation of thirty billion yuan. Other than going bankrupt, Cisco really has no other options.”
Hearing such an answer, Cao Jiadong’s face turned ashen. He, who was already weak, looked like a terminally ill person at that point.
“What Cisco can do now is to cut their losses in time,” Zhao Mo said.
“Back then, in order to deliver all of Didi’s ordered goods on time, didn’t you push back all the orders from other companies? Now, use these goods to supply other companies and get back the balance from the contracts. You should be able to get about two billion yuan before declaring bankruptcy. However, this will still be the worst possible solution.”
“Then what’s the best option?” Cao Jiadong hurriedly asked.
“I’ll try to think of a way to make him give up the 30 billion yuan compensation. If you are successful, Cisco will still have a chance to breathe,” Zhao Mo said.
“But even so, your outcome will not be optimistic. That’s because Longxin has already taken the lead in developing the source code for Chip 2.0, leaving all other companies in the industry far behind.”
Zhao Mo looked at the Cao family and said,
“Rather than saying that you were defeated by Lin Yi, it’s better to say that you were eliminated by the market. Technology is like this. It’s more about survival of the fittest. It can let you stand at the top of the pyramid for a short period of time, or it can let you fall to pieces in a day. As long as Cisco is unable to surpass Longxin in terms of technology, you will always face the risk of bankruptcy. Do you understand what I mean?”
“I understand,” Cao Jiadong sighed.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Thirty years ago, he founded Cisco in a small workshop.
It took 30 years of tireless work to achieve the scale and achievements that he had today.
However, just as Zhao Mo had said, he had once climbed to the top, but after a press conference, he fell and shattered into pieces.
If one did not personally experience this feeling, no one would be able to empathize with it.
“Director Zhao, what do you plan to do next?” Cao Xiangyu gritted his teeth and said.
“Let’s start with his Didi.” Zhao Mo smiled and said.
“Didn’t he earn 30 billion from Cisco? In that case, I’ll completely destroy Didi. I can’t let him take advantage of me, Zhao Mo.”
Cao Jingqiu looked at Zhao Mo. She felt that both he and Lin Yi gave off an unfathomable feeling.
He had countless trump cards in his hands, and he did not know which one he wanted to play.
In this confrontation between the two, she could not tell who would have the last laugh.
Even so, the only thing that could not be changed was the Cao’s family’s demise.
He had completely withdrawn his support toward them.
“Alright, rest well here. I still have to go back and do something else.” Zhao Mo said.
“As for whether Cisco can return to his peak, don’t think about it for the time being. This isn’t something you should consider.”
“Got it, Director Zhao.”
Although Cisco was on the verge of bankruptcy, a smile appeared on Zhao Mo’s lips. He subconsciously stretched and muttered to himself,
“He’s been looking forward to my participation. I’m looking forward to what he’ll prepare for me.”
Ring!
Cao Xiangyu’s phone rang at this moment. It was a call from her secretary.
“What did you say? Our warehouse at Sci-Tech is on fire?!”
