Chapter 3340: Chapter 3332: Someone Even I Have to Salute

This news was within Lin Yi’s expectations.

He appeared particularly calm.

"Was the negotiation smooth?"

"Overall, it went quite smoothly."

"What do you mean by ’overall smooth’?"

"We listed eight technologies in total, but they disagreed on three of them, so we only finalized five," Gao Zongyuan said:

"However, being able to settle on these five was already beyond our expectations."

"That’s normal, stay calm."

"Lin Bro, what should we do next?"

"It’s hard to explain over the phone, let’s meet up this evening and chat over dinner."

"Let’s go to Brother Qin’s place, head over after you get off work."

"Alright."

After hanging up Gao Zongyuan’s call, Lin Yi remained calm.

The fact that they were willing to hand over the core technology for collaboration likely means there’s something fishy going on.

Next, it depends on the investigation results from Ning Che’s side.

Ring ring ring――

As if thinking could bring it into reality.

Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Ning Che.

"I’ve looked into what you asked, and it’s clear: Kaijie Group and Mirta Company have no connection."

"Are you sure there’s no connection?"

Lin Yi was a bit surprised; this contradicted his assumption.

"I’m sure."

Ning Che said:

"Although I’m not as skilled as Yuluo in this field, investigating such minor issues is still manageable."

Lin Yi frowned, staying silent for a moment.

"You should have organized the information, right? Send it over to me."

"Okay."

After hanging up on Ning Che, he quickly received her email.

Getting a cup of coffee, Lin Yi found a quiet place to carefully read through the materials.

In the company’s related introduction, there was nothing connected to Kaijie Group.

Ning Che had even checked into the core members of Kaijie Group.

Though all of them are outstanding figures in venture capital, none of the funds they manage have invested in Mirta Group.

Especially the direct participants in this matter, the Viggins father and son duo, have not even a slight connection.

Lin Yi rested his chin on one hand, pondering the situation at hand.

If there is no connection between the two companies, then Mirta Group’s actions are rather strange.

With their capabilities and worldwide reputation, there’s no reason for them to do such things, even handing over core technologies.

Could it be the result of a private negotiation?

Hmm?

Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed an interesting piece of information.

Four years ago, Mirta Group received a $2.2 billion investment from Huaqi Bank.

Although this investment seemed ordinary, it allowed both parties to find some common ground.

Within the Kaijie Group, Huaqi Bank is also one of the significant investors.

Now that there is such a connection between the two, the investment we see now can be explained.

At the same time, this also suggests that the danger is further intensifying.

The one pulling all the strings from behind might not just be Kaijie Group; there’s also Huaqi Bank.

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, realizing the situation was more complicated than he imagined.

At that moment, a shadow appeared in front of Lin Yi.

Looking up, he found Liu Heceng standing there.

"President Liu."

Seemingly because Lin Yi was sitting there unharmed, Liu Heping’s face didn’t look pleased.

Because his plan was to have Ma Changzhi teach him a lesson, preventing him from attending the car expo.

Now that he’s alright, naturally he was holding back a stomach full of anger.

"Besides asking me to come over personally, did they say anything else?"

"No, they just said my level wasn’t high enough, and that the money is ready, they will repay it once you go over."

"They didn’t lay a hand on you, did they?"

"They did, but it wasn’t a big problem."

"Those damned bastards," Liu Heceng said gravely:

"They even dare to touch my people, take a week’s vacation and go rest."

Lin Yi laughed.

"It’s almost the car expo, and everyone is quite busy. If I take leave and go back, the store won’t be able to manage."

"Don’t think like that, everyone feels the same; the Earth will keep spinning without anyone, don’t consider yourself too important, just go home and rest."

"Got it."

Liu Heping nodded and left.

Watching his back, Lin Yi stretched lazily.

Then dialed Lu Xingchuan’s number.

"Uncle Lu, are you busy?" Lin Yi asked with a cheeky smile.

"I’m at home having dinner with the old man," Lu Xingchuan said:

"We really have no fate; every time you come over I’m not home, there’s not even a single chance to meet."

"That’s not an issue; if there’s no opportunity, I’ll create one, I’ll be visiting Jing City tomorrow to see you."

"You have something, don’t you?"

"It’s nothing major, mainly I just miss you."

"As if I don’t know your little schemes," Lu Xingchuan said: "Wait at home, I have a meeting tomorrow and need to go over."

"That’s great! What time will you arrive, I’ll pick you up."

"The official people will be picking up, you better not; bumping into them wouldn’t be good," Lu Xingchuan said:

"After I’m done, I’ll give you a call."

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Lu."

After work, Lin Yi put on his clothes and went to Qin Han’s BBQ place.

Once he arrived at the private room, the three of them were already there.

Without Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan, but with a few internet celebrity models on the side, the room was quite lively.

"Master Lin is here."

Seeing Lin Yi come in, the internet celebrity models stood up to greet him.

"Let’s keep it light, no need to be so serious in a private setting."

"Thank you, Master Lin."

After seating himself, Lin Yi first ate a few bites.

After getting about seventy percent full, he rinsed his mouth with a glass of beer.

"Besides the five core technologies, anything else mentioned?"

"The rest was just an introduction to that piece of land, nothing else was discussed," Gao Zongyuan asked:

"Lin Bro, is there something fishy about this?"

"Eight or nine possibilities out of ten."

"So, we shouldn’t collaborate with them, right?"

"If you don’t take advantage of a deal, you’re a fool, but you must have an insurance plan."

"Insurance?"

"You all prepare for tomorrow; I’ll take you to meet someone important."

"Huh? What kind of person makes you say something like that?"

"Someone I meet and have to salute."

"Wow, you’re expanding our horizons, taking us to see big shots."

"You could say that; at least you will get familiar faces," Lin Yi said:

"Since you will all take over the group’s future business, building connections early on is necessary."

"Got it."

After the meal, the four of them went to a bar for a while.

When he returned home that night, Lin Yi received a call from Li Guotao.

"Master Lin, the task you assigned to us has been handled; he drank too much and we arranged him in a hotel."

"Well done."

"Thank you, Master Lin, for the praise, we just did what we had to."

"Alright, go about your business."

Lin Yi put down the phone, quietly sympathizing with Liu Heceng for a second.
