An hour later, within the compound of Dawn Technology, Qi Yun followed Tao Ziming around several research workshops.

"We've recently made groundbreaking progress in our nanomaterials experiments. It's estimated that in another three months, this new material will achieve initial success!" Tao Ziming's tone was slightly excited.

Qi Yun nodded slightly and, after touring the research workshop, followed the other person to the office.

The office was the same as before and could only be described with the word "crude." It seemed the other party really spent all the money where it mattered.

Tao Ziming handed over a bottle of water and politely said, "Mr. Qi, have some water."

Qi Yun placed the water bottle on the table and got straight to the point: "How is the company's current financial situation?"

Tao Ziming opened a drawer, took out a financial statement, and pushed it in front of Qi Yun: "After deducting the material purchases and personnel salaries for this month, we have 730,000 left. It's tough to last through next month."

"But rest assured, I'm actively seeking new financing..."

Qi Yun skimmed through the statement and then returned it to the other party: "How is the financing going?"

Tao Ziming showed a wry smile: "To be honest, I did find someone willing to invest, introduced by my mentor in America."

"However, the other party insists on acquiring 51% of the shares, so I haven't agreed yet."

Qi Yun crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Wouldn't that be like handing over the company to someone else?"

"Yes." Tao Ziming sighed helplessly, "But without the funds, our research experiments can't continue."

"Additionally, my two friends are also eager to sell their shares and leave..."

Qi Yun was already aware of this because, the first time he came, he witnessed a debate between the other party and another person.

It's just that his funds were limited at the time, so he only invested eight million.

"Will you agree to let someone else hold 51% of the shares?" Qi Yun asked with a half-smile.

Tao Ziming heard this, looked up at Qi Yun, with a look of struggle, and was silent for a long time without answering.

It was obvious that he was also very hesitant.

Qi Yun was in no hurry to push. He lit a cigarette and quietly waited for the other to answer.

After a long silence, Tao Ziming sighed deeply: "Compared to losing this company, I am more hopeful that many years of research results can be realized, even if it no longer belongs to me in the end..."

Upon hearing this answer, Qi Yun smiled sincerely.

One reason was that he had the opportunity to naturally acquire this company. Another was that he hadn't misjudged; Tao Ziming was trustworthy, and he could confidently entrust the management of the company to him.

"How many shares do your two friends hold in total? How much do they want?"

Tao Ziming replied: "The two of them hold a total of 20% of the shares and plan to sell for ten million."

Qi Yun nodded slightly: "Call your two friends. Have them come over now to sign the agreement. I'll buy their shares."

"You're... buying them?" Tao Ziming was somewhat surprised; Qi Yun's words were clearly beyond his expectations.

Qi Yun chuckled softly: "What? Do you think I can't come up with that much money?"

Tao Ziming was stunned for two seconds, then quickly waved his hand: "No, no! It's just that you mentioned before that you didn't plan to make any additional investments temporarily..." Seeing Qi Yun's calm demeanor, he suddenly realized something, "Mr. Qi, could it be that you... are willing to increase your investment?"

"That's right." Qi Yun nodded, "After buying their shares, I'll hold a total of 35% of the shares. I hope to acquire another 16%."

"If there's a financial difficulty later, I can even continue to invest."

"Moreover, I can promise you one thing: I won't interfere with the company's affairs moving forward; you will still be in charge."

After hearing this, Tao Ziming once again fell into silence.

Although Qi Yun's goal was also to gain control, he already held 15% of the shares. Compared to Zhao Weilin's demand, Tao Ziming would be able to retain more shares.

Another point was that when the company was about to fail initially, he ran around but couldn't secure any funding.

It was Qi Yun who patted his shoulder, saying, 'I believe in you,' then invested money to pull the company back from the brink of bankruptcy. So, deep down, Tao Ziming leaned more towards Qi Yun.

After a brief consideration, he ultimately agreed: "I can agree to your terms. I'll call them now."

Qi Yun's face showed a satisfied expression: "The reason for gaining control is to help you eliminate interference. You focus on research, and I'll handle the financial troubles. Together, we'll bring this new battery to production."

Tao Ziming nodded solemnly, took out his phone, and started making calls: "Didn't you always want to sell your shares? Mr. Qi is willing to take over... Yes, come to the company and sign the agreement now."

...

Ultimately, Qi Yun spent another 26 million, successfully acquiring 36% of the shares. Combined with the 15% he previously held, he had now completely become the decision-maker of this company.

Although the investment wasn't small, totaling 34 million, he trusted the accuracy of the system's intelligence and had confidence in Tao Ziming as a person.

As long as the new battery is successfully developed in the future, the returns will surely be substantial...

Upon leaving the factory, Qi Yun received a call from Brother Hui. As expected, they still hadn't caught those two people, and Brother Hui was nearly injured himself.

"Damn, those two white guys are like monsters, they got away again." Brother Hui said angrily.

Qi Yun pinched his brow, sighed, and said, "Sorry, Brother Hui, I've caused you trouble."

Brother Hui replied gruffly, "Qi, don't say that, it's just that I didn't manage to take care of things for you." He paused, his tone filled with reluctance, "But don't worry, I've already placed informants all over Hong Kong Island, they won't escape!"

Qi Yun knew the other party had done his best, so he advised, "Brother Hui, those two guys are hard for ordinary people to deal with. I've arranged two people to go over, they should arrive on Hong Kong Island by afternoon. If their whereabouts are discovered again, let those two take action."

Brother Hui, upon hearing this, didn't insist any further. He originally planned to contact two Double Flower Red Sticks, but since Qi Yun sent his own people, he decided to wait.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Qi Yun had actually made dual preparations. He had already sent the identity information and photos of those two people to Ge Dabao, and although their passports were fake from the investigation, having the photos was enough.

As long as they dared to enter the mainland, they would be 'invited' for questioning immediately.

After dealing with these matters, Qi Yun returned to Golden Collar Villa. He didn't go directly home but headed to the property management office instead.

"Mr. Qi is here, please have a seat, please have a seat." The property manager eagerly stood up to greet him.

Although he was unaware of Qi Yun's identity, he had personally seen Director Ma nod and bow to him last time, so he naturally dared not show any slackness.

Qi Yun nodded at him and said, "I want to ask if there are any vacant houses for rent in this community?"

The property manager immediately put on a smiling face, took out a keyring from the drawer, and said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Qi! The owner of unit 102 in building 16 has moved to live out of town and just entrusted us with renting it out. It's well-decorated with furniture and is 185 square meters. Would you like to take a look?"

Building 16?

Qi Yun looked up at the community layout map on the wall. His house was in building 12, and building 16 was right behind it, but it wasn't a villa.

"Show me the place." Qi Yun stood up directly.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the apartment for rent. Qi Yun examined the layout; there were four bedrooms, and the living room alone was fifty square meters.

Since Ah Jiao and others came, the originally rented small duplex already housed five or six people, so he planned to rent another place. It would be convenient for Chen Wei and the others to live here when needed.

The property manager followed behind Qi Yun, introducing with a smile, "This apartment was self-occupied before. Look at the underfloor heating, central air conditioning, and even the kitchen has an oven and dishwasher, the lighting is particularly good..."

"Alright, I'll take this one." Qi Yun decided right away.

"Okay, Mr. Qi, I'll arrange for someone to clean it up immediately." The property manager was very accommodating, "The annual rent for this apartment is sixty thousand, I'll prepare the rental agreement and deliver it to your home later."

"Alright, thank you." Qi Yun nodded in appreciation, then turned to Chen Wei, saying, "Brother Wei, if you need anything, just contact Zhong Rui and have him get it."

Chen Wei nodded, indicating his understanding.

After renting the apartment, Qi Yun returned to the gym at home and began training with Chen Wei.

Since he went to Changbai Mountain last time, he learned a basic set of Military Boxing under the other's guidance, and he stuck to practicing it whenever he had free time. Plus, he drank those herbal soups daily, feeling his physical fitness had greatly improved now.

Although he's still far from the level of Chen Wei and Old Black, he can at least spar with Liu Meng a bit...

Two hours later, Qi Yun collapsed onto the floor, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.

Suddenly, the phone beside him rang. He picked it up and saw it was Mendeleyev calling.

As soon as the call connected, Mendeleyev hurriedly asked, "Old Qi! Did you have something to do with last night's incident!?"

"If you're asking about that shipment, then yes, I had a friend help me out." Qi Yun replied with a smile.

Upon Qi Yun's confirmation, Mendeleyev's voice grew even more excited, "When did you start associating with the H-handed Party!?"

"You know, not only did they release our goods, but someone from their company personally came to beg for my forgiveness just now!"

"And Nokovic told me he wants to return my share of one percent back to me..."

After the other party finished chattering, Qi Yun replied calmly, "I don't know anyone from the H-handed Party, it was a friend who helped contact them."

"It's all the same! Anyway, from now on no one will dare mess with our business in Russia!" Mendeleyev said enthusiastically.

Qi Yun detected a bit of an unsettling change in the other party's tone, so he reminded, "Old Mendeleyev, it's good that no one's causing trouble, but we're running a legitimate business. It's best not to get too involved with those forces, and never take the initiative to contact them..."

Mendeleyev understood his meaning at once and promised, "Don't worry, I just want to make money quietly and won't cause any trouble."

...

In a lavishly decorated office in Shanghai.

Zhao Weilin frowned as he put down the phone and asked the capable-looking female secretary next to him, "Was there a shareholder named Qi Yun during the previous investigation of Dawn Technology?"

The female secretary responded by quickly taking out a tablet and going through the records. She soon nodded and said, "Yes, he holds 15% of the shares."

"Go check his detailed information."
