Chapter 3335: Chapter 3327: Undercurrents of the Tide

Changed into new clothes.

Lin Yi is still puzzled.

Similar things have happened more than once.

These hidden organizations have intelligence capabilities that surpass many in the Central Guards Brigade.

First Mammon, and now the Kaijie Group has appeared.

Linking these things together, it doesn’t seem like a good omen.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi sent another reminder message before going out to meet Ji Qingyan.

After handing the child to his mother-in-law, the two drove off.

"All of a sudden, you received a message about dinner, but Old Gao didn’t say a word to me."

"I feel like this dinner isn’t arranged by Old Gao, it’s more likely by Tao Yuan."

"Had a change of heart and confessed to me?"

"With Tao Yuan’s personality, there’s no way she’d confess to you," Ji Qingyan said with a laugh:

"It seems like Old Gao’s family encountered a project; they’re uncertain about the decision. According to her, Old Gao knows you’re quite busy recently, so he didn’t feel comfortable calling you."

"Old Gao knows I’m busy, yet she still called me. Doesn’t she have any sense?"

"That’s where you’re wrong. She does have sense; she just doesn’t want to use it on you."

"That damn woman," Lin Yi grumbled:

"What kind of project did Old Gao encounter?"

"I don’t know either. I heard it was a foreign company looking to cooperate with them."

"A foreign company..."

Lin Yi murmured and said:

"Is there something suspicious they found?"

"I don’t know about that."

Lin Yi nodded, driving to Qin Han’s barbecue restaurant.

When the two arrived, everyone else was already there.

"Old Lin, look at you, putting on another show today," Qin Han laughed and said:

"I bet that streamer is dumbfounded, having your A7 fall so far behind."

"No choice, the skills speak for themselves."

Lin Yi laughed and replied, then looked at Old Gao.

"What happened that made you hesitate to speak up?"

Gao Zongyuan chuckled, "In our industry, there’s a company called Mirta that’s quite famous and wants to cooperate with us."

"Isn’t that a good thing? What’s the hesitation?"

"In theory, it’s a good thing, but it doesn’t feel right."

"Found something fishy?"

"Their capabilities are strong. Besides the arresting cables, anything we can do, they can do too. Normally, there’s no need for them to cooperate with us," Gao Zongyuan said:

"Last time at dinner, the Kaijie Group sought cooperation with Brother Qin, and you said that company wasn’t great and advised not to contact them again, which made me think of this."

"What’s the main content of the cooperation?" Lin Yi asked:

"Isn’t it about developing arresting cables?"

In Lin Yi’s view, this is their only advantage.

But arresting cables are military supplies that cannot be carelessly partnered on.

This is surely something Old Gao is aware of.

"They didn’t mention arresting cables, just said they want a deep collaboration and to set up factories here."

"Deep collaboration..."

Lin Yi murmured, his face serious, "Besides setting up factories, is there any research and development involved?"

"Not yet. For now, it’s just preliminary talks; they haven’t mentioned that, and it seems like building factories is their focus."

"Normally, besides arresting cables, Old Gao’s family likely has all other technologies, so there’s really no need for further R&D," Liang Jinming said.

"But the issue is, if it’s merely for setting up a factory, there’s no need to involve Old Gao’s family. Other countries in Southeast Terra have cheaper land and labor; no reason to do it here."

"Actually, it’s not as absolute as you say," Gao Zongyuan said:

"In some areas, there will surely be research projects, but it’s not that time yet. Specifically, I’ll have to ask when I go back."

"Huh?"

Lin Yi looked at Gao Zongyuan, "Didn’t they approach you for this?"

"Definitely not, they spoke to my dad."

"Uncle Gao’s willingness to cooperate must be clear."

Gao Zongyuan nodded, "The conditions from the other side are quite good, and my dad has no reason to refuse."

"If it wasn’t for the Kaijie Group incident last time, I probably wouldn’t have thought much of it."

"So it seems, everything looks reasonable," Liang Jinming said.

"The problem is, it appears reasonable, but it’s not quite right," He Yuanyuan said.

Ji Qingyan was sitting beside, smiling faintly.

Though Lin Yi and Yuanyuan quarrel whenever they meet,

she is someone Lin Yi brought up, and their ways of thinking are becoming more alike.

"Besides this, did they say anything else?" Lin Yi asked.

Gao Zongyuan thought for a moment and said:

"There’s also... they have a piece of land in the Beautiful Country; if possible, it can be an investment project offered to me at a discounted price."

"Another piece of land?" Lin Yi asked:

"Where is it?"

"Seems like in the center of Miami."

"What use is that to you guys?" Lin Yi muttered.

"It’s useless to them, but valuable to Brother Qin’s family. If this project succeeds, Uncle Gao and Uncle Qin can collaborate," Liang Jinming said.

"Huh?"

Liang Jinming’s words enlightened Lin Yi.

This was a point he had overlooked.

"This move is quite clever."

Lin Yi’s words drew the attention of several people.

"What’s up?"

"Their goal might be to bind the Gao family and Qin family together," Lin Yi said:

"Given the relationship between the Gao family and Qin family, if they acquire this land, the two will surely collaborate, meaning the Qin family will naturally be involved in this project."

"That’s looking down on others, why not include our Liang family?"

"Damn, what kind of bizarre competitive streak is that?" Gao Zongyuan retorted.

"Because airlines have uniqueness, normally, even with bad intentions, they wouldn’t target you," Ji Qingyan said.

"Have Uncle Gao continue negotiations, get their core technology. If they’re willing, keep talking; if not, tell them to get lost."

"That’s unlikely."

"If there’s really a catch, then it’s possible."

Lin Yi said:

"After all, there’s no need to involve the Gao family in this matter; the event itself is abnormal, so it can’t be handled routinely."

"Understood." Gao Zongyuan nodded and said:

"And if they agree?"

"If they agree, inform me immediately. Even if it doesn’t kill them, we’ll make their life difficult."

"Also, regarding that piece of land, both families should appropriately release some information, see if other companies approach for cooperation. If they do, inform me immediately."

"Domestic and international both need attention?"

Lin Yi nodded, "At this crucial moment, if you want to play this game, you can’t make a single mistake."

"Understood."
