“Where are you?”
“The Peninsula Hotel.”
“I’ll be there in half an hour. Wait for me there.”
With that, Lin Yi turned the car around and drove toward the Peninsula Hotel.
When he arrived at the café on the first floor, he saw that Zhao Wen was already seated in the corner.
Compared to her previous attire, Zhao Wen’s attire at this moment was much more reserved.
She was wearing beige canvas shorts and a simple white half-sleeve shirt. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look like a pure university student.
“Is there a new development at your headquarters?” Lin Yi asked after sitting down.
“The headquarters have agreed.” Zhao Wen nodded.
“You said that there are about 78 known drugs on the market that sell for more than 100,000 yuan. Pfizer and the six major pharmaceutical companies have contacted 42 of them for you. There are still more than a dozen companies waiting for a reply, but the rest have already clearly rejected the proposal. Therefore, the final number of drugs with the reduced pricing is about 50, including the Nosinogen Sodium and Zolgensma you mentioned.”
“Waiter.” Lin Yi snapped his fingers.
“President Lin.”
“Get a glass of ’82for this beautiful young lady.”
“You’re trying to kill me.”
“I’m just expressing my gratitude.” Lin Yi smiled.
“Actually, I didn’t expect you to be able to negotiate this well. You far exceeded my expectations.”
“As long as it’s profitable, what can they do?” Zhao Wen said and looked at her watch.
“It’s almost 10 a.m. U.S. time now. The official contract should be sent to me before 12 noon tomorrow. Should I deliver it to you or will you come and get it?”
“I’ve got an important operation tomorrow. It won’t be over until night. Bring it to the hospital. I’ll read the contents first.”
It was better for the contract between the two parties to take effect as soon as possible.
After the surgery tomorrow, he would start treating the SMA. If he signed it early enough, he would benefit immediately.
“Alright, after the official contract is out, I’ll send it to the hospital.”
The two of them chatted for almost an hour before going their separate ways.
Lin Yi didn’t plan on leaving. He returned to his room and rested for the night.
…
Yanjing, Huayin Group, General Manager’s Office.
The atmosphere in the room was especially oppressive.
Zhao Mo and the others were all holding cigarettes in their hands. The ground was covered in ashes.
For the entire day, the four of them did not leave the office except to seat.
Moreover, each of their expressions was worse than the other.
This was because they had all borrowed Didi shares from brokerages, and none of them had skimped out.
They had thought that they could deal a final blow to Lingyun Group and blow them up.
However, they did not expect that even after throwing out nearly 90 billion in a row, the other party would simply absorb it all!
To the four of them, the Lingyun Group was like a black hole.
It seemed that no matter how much money was thrown in, there would be no ripple at all.
This caused their determination to waver.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Fu Zhengyi walked in nervously.
“Director Zhao, the second round has already reached 50 billion, but Lingyun Group has absorbed everything. Other than that, the retail investors have only dumped a few billion. They’re not following the trend like in the first round.”
“Alright, I understand,” Zhao Mo said coldly.
The atmosphere in the room fell into silence. Lu Xuan stepped on the cigarette butt in his hand and cursed.
“What the f*ck is going on? Including the 44 billion he previously bought, he has already absorbed a total of 95 billion. Where did he get so much money?!”
Not only Lu Xuan, but Zhao Mo and the others were also thinking about this.
Where did Lin Yi get this money from?
Even if Lingyun Group was not listed, it was impossible for them to have so much reserve funds.
It was completely unreasonable!
“Now is not the time to pay attention to this.” Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and said.
“I have a feeling that he doesn’t have much money left. Perhaps the gap between us isn’t that big.”
“I agree with Old Sun.” Gu Changchuan said.
“We only have 10 billion shares left. It’s possible he only has 9 billion left. We can’t let up.”
Sun Ce shrugged. “There’s no other option than to do this. The shares in our hands were all borrowed. We have no choice but to dump them.”
“Alright, why are all of you crying?” Gu Changchuan threw away the cigarette butt.
“Muddy Waters has already made good progress. After they move, Didi’s reputation and reputation will definitely collapse. Don’t start mourning your losses yet.”
“Boss Gu is right. At most, we’ll just profit less,” Sun Ce said.
“The few of us have borrowed more than 100 billion yuan worth of shares. When Muddy Waters moves in, we’ll easily earn a few billion yuan.”
“But I made such a big plan and only ended up earning a few billion. This was such a waste of time,” Zhao Mo said.
“Hey, you’re just earning a little less.” Sun Ce laughed.
“As long as you win, you’ll still be viewed as one of the most awesome investors.”
“Alright, then I’ll just pocket less.” Zhao Mo said.
“But this person called Lin Yi is indeed quite capable. He actually absorbed so much. It’s far beyond my expectations.”
“Don’t worry, there must be something fishy going on,” Sun Ce said.
“It’s impossible for a well-developed company to have so much cash in hand. If we’re short of money, we’ll borrow from the bank. Although we’re only making a small profit, he’ll definitely suffer a huge loss in the end. He might even sell Didi to pay off his debts and stop the bleeding. In short, just wait and see. We’ll definitely win this round!”
“Thanks for reminding me.” Zhao Mo rubbed his chin. “Let me see how he cleans up this mess in the end!”
“Since it’s a sure win, why are we still sitting here? The hot spring we went to previously is not bad. Let’s go check it out,” Lu Xuan said.
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll inform Muddy Waters to make their preparations. We still have 10 billion yuan worth of shares on hand. We’ll be able to sell it all off tomorrow. It’s time for them to join the game.” Zhao Mo held his phone. “I can’t wait anymore.”
Soon, the call went through. Zhao Mo said,
“Mr. Chu, are you ready?”
“Is it time to start?”
“If you’re ready, you can start tomorrow.” Zhao Mo said.
“You guys are omnipotent in the industry. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“Don’t worry, President Zhao. We’ve already sorted out the information on Lin Yi.” Feng Zhu smiled.
“When we find a suitable time tomorrow, we’ll reveal them one by one. I believe it will cause quite a stir. They might not be far from bankruptcy and delisting by the time we’re done.”
Zhao Mo smiled confidently.
“Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
