Chapter 3706: Chapter 3697: Taking You Back for Investigation

"I’ll stop the car and talk to you about this matter properly."

The sound of brakes came through the phone, and then Lu Xingchuan said:

"I understand your initial strategy, but there might be changes later. If there’s official support from the back, Kaijie Group’s pressure will be much less because the current situation is their official favorite."

After a pause, Lu Xingchuan continued:

"The money and stock prices they’ve lost will be regained one day, but Lingyun Group’s situation won’t be that good."

"You’ve made money through shorting, but you can only feed it back to Lingyun Group, the cost being other companies and industries taking on the risk for you. Once such a situation occurs, Lingyun Group’s reputation within the circle will crumble, and the upper management won’t have a good impression of you. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

This was what Lin Yi had been worrying about all along.

If their officials step in, the situation will be very difficult to handle.

So he needs to increase the stakes from his side and also apply pressure on them.

"The progress of domestic production has accelerated, but it may still need some time."

"From a long-term perspective, I hope you can drive the entire industry chain. If you can earn considerable profits through shorting while being willing to give up part of the profit or technology, allowing other companies in the industry to benefit, the situation wouldn’t be too ugly. As long as there’s a breakthrough in some technologies, their ban would be just a piece of paper. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Uncle Lu, don’t worry, I understand everything."

"I still have some confidence in you. Great fortunes are gambled. Whether Lingyun Group can take another step depends on this opportunity."

"No problem, leave it to me."

"But don’t panic, the situation isn’t that bad at the moment. After all, in many aspects you are also restricting them. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to resolve, call me again. Policy and funding are not issues."

"Understood, thank you, Uncle Lu."

"Let’s stop here for today. Call me again if anything comes up."

"Okay."

After hanging up Lu Xingchuan’s call, Lin Yi sat in the car, pondering for a while.

His expression showed some eagerness.

The greater the pressure, the more excited Lin Yi was.

After all, he still had some cards to play.

Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang.

It was a call from Shen Shuyi.

"Mom."

"How’s the group situation being handled? Did you encounter any tough problems?"

"Just had a call with Uncle Lu, the situation looks decent right now. But if their officials step in, things could get tricky."

Shen Shuyi laughed over the phone.

"They’ve learned your essence, not playing by the book, putting pressure on the whole tech sector and semiconductor industry. Not lining up with you, does it feel like you’re at a loss for exertion?"

"That’s pretty much it, but it’s not a big deal. Once I reorganize my cards, I can continue playing with them."

"I can’t help much with your situation, but I’ve prepared 100 billion in funding for you. Both I and Uncle Lu can withstand the pressure from above, so take your time playing with them."

"Hehe, thanks mom, now I feel more confident."

"Don’t rush to feel confident yet, after the good news, there’s some bad news too."

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

For her to admit it’s bad news as his mother-in-law, it must be quite serious.

"What is it?"

"The Chen family should know."

"If I remember correctly, the head of Dragon Eagle is Chen Zhengnan. Is it their family?"

"Yes." Shen Shuyi said:

"Their family’s industry holds a significant portion in the semiconductor field, but it’s always been suppressed by Lingyun Group, and they haven’t had the chance to shine in recent years. So, be wary of their backstabbing."

"I understand."

"Yesterday, I had dinner with Uncle Lu and we discussed this matter for a while." Shen Shuyi said:

"The semiconductor industry is currently under pressure. Although there’s some unrest below, Uncle Lu’s ability can still keep it under control. The pressure on Uncle Lu is caused by the Chen family’s secret interference. Even if we know it’s them, we can’t do much."

"This is indeed a sophisticated overt plot."

"Yes, it’s unsolvable, so I’m here to give you some assistance."

"Thanks, mom."

"We’re family, no need to say thanks. But in this matter, have a core principle. As long as you do this, there won’t be major issues." Shen Shuyi continued:

"In this matter, regardless of the outcome, you must not make money. Just aim for reputation, don’t even take a penny."

"I understand, letting go of wealth will lead to its return."

"That’s the point. Money is the least useful thing, and you can see clearly in this situation."

"I understand."

"That’s all I have to say. For the rest, you should know what to do, so I won’t say much."

"Hmm."

Shen Shuyi didn’t give Lin Yi too much pressure, and hung up the call after saying what needed to be said.

Initially, Lin Yi was feeling eager, but upon learning about the Chen family’s covert actions, he felt a bit of pressure.

This situation of being attacked from both sides left him a bit overwhelmed.

No wonder the pressure domestically suddenly increased; it turns out there’s a hidden hand behind it.

"These dirty scoundrels." Lin Yi chuckled, "The uglier the toad, the more tricks it plays."

After sorting out his emotions, Lin Yi drove to Jinyue Mansion and picked up Chen Yutong.

"Where’s your sister?"

"She left early this morning, probably dealing with loan matters."

Chen Yutong shifted her body and looked at Lin Yi, saying:

"Lin Bro, you’re resourceful and capable. Is there any way to get rid of Xu Kai?"

"Why get rid of him? He’s still fun to have around the company; otherwise, it’d be boring."

"My main concern is that his character seems off. I’m afraid he’ll mess with my sister one day, and it’d be too late to cry then."

"Don’t underestimate your sister. She’s quite capable, handling a Xu Kai won’t be a problem." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"But my sister’s job completion rate is high. Compared to someone like him with no bottoms, she might suffer."

"Don’t worry too much, this isn’t your concern. Your task is to work on your thesis and prepare for the exams to study abroad."

"Understood, but with you by my sister’s side, I don’t have to worry much." Chen Yutong said confidently:

"Feels like you could crush Xu Kai with your little finger, so it’s indeed something I don’t need to worry about."

"Exactly."

Although he might resign in less than a week, this matter isn’t suitable to discuss with Chen Yutong.

Leaving quietly would be better.
