Chapter 357: Chapter 325: Accidentally Produced a Bit Too Much? Poised for Action
"Ahem. Now that we’ve sorted out the production side of things, do you still need our help with the next steps?"
Hearing Ye Ling’s cold snort, Dong Xun gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.
"I can handle the next steps myself. But I still want to thank you for your help this time, President Dong."
Ye Ling didn’t bring up the previous topic either, instead expressing his gratitude.
Dong Xun might be an old fox, but there was no denying he had provided a tremendous amount of help to Tianxin Technology Company!
Without his involvement, or if he hadn’t taken this matter seriously, it would have taken Tianxin Technology Company at least another half-month, maybe even over a month, to get the first batch of 7nm chips ready.
"You’re too kind," Dong Xun said with a soft chuckle.
"President Dong, please keep this matter confidential for now. I still have some follow-up moves to make," Ye Ling added as something came to mind.
"You mean..." Dong Xun paused, then asked with a hint of hesitation, "You want to use this news to make some moves in the capital market?"
’Dong Xun really is an old fox!’
Even though Ye Ling had only revealed a tiny bit of information, he had still keenly picked up on something.
And his guess was dead accurate.
"President Dong, it seems I really can’t hide anything from you."
Ye Ling teased him.
"I’m well aware of your past achievements. It wasn’t hard to guess!" Dong Xun said nonchalantly.
Outsiders might not know the relationship between Celestial Dragon Investment Company and Ye Ling, but it would be a real problem if he, Dong Xun, didn’t.
With Dong Xun’s resources, investigating Ye Ling wasn’t particularly difficult!
He could find out everything, not just about Celestial Dragon Investment Company, but also the exact percentage of shares Ye Ling held in companies like Shengding Group and Character Jumping.
"That’s right. I’m planning to go play in the US Stock market," Ye Ling admitted directly.
"So, how about it? We put in so much effort this time..."
Dong Xun’s words were no longer a hint; they were a clear demand.
They had contributed a lot. If Ye Ling was going to make a move, he had to include them!
’What an old fox!’
Ye Ling grumbled to himself.
He was even starting to suspect that Dong Xun had been waiting for this exact moment.
After all, Dong Xun must have known that Ye Ling would never agree to the benefit he’d asked for at the beginning...
’So was asking for a favor the first time just a probe?’
’Just to set the stage for this!’
’Fine!’
’The little fox is still no match for the old fox!’
"I’m telling you the truth. Regarding the factory this time, setting aside everything else, just getting the approvals put us under a lot of pressure."
Dong Xun’s expression turned serious as he continued, "You know this industry. It became a pariah long ago; no one believes in it anymore."
"Yes, I understand."
Ye Ling nodded in agreement.
Even though the force Dong Xun represented was powerful, it wasn’t as if powers of their level hadn’t been burned before!
In fact, it was usually powers of their level that got burned.
After all, smaller powers wouldn’t even dare touch this sort of thing, right?
"It’s not really a problem to bring you guys in this time..." Ye Ling said, trailing off with a slight pause.
That pause was full of meaning!
"Alright, alright, just spit it out. Whatever your condition is, I’ll do my best to agree," Dong Xun said, rolling his eyes in exasperation.
"It’s simple. You wire the money over, and then you don’t ask about any of the specific operations. I’ll handle everything!" Ye Ling stated his demand directly.
It really wasn’t an unreasonable demand!
The main reason was that this operation was extremely risky. If he didn’t make things clear from the start, it would be a huge hassle if something went wrong midway and Dong Xun’s side demanded to pull out.
He’d made the same demand of Ning Tianliang.
"No problem."
Of course Dong Xun wouldn’t refuse.
"By the way, what’s our share this time?" Dong Xun continued to ask.
"Come on, stop pretending. How much money could you possibly have?"
Ye Ling said, annoyed.
The power behind Dong Xun was formidable, but they didn’t have much funding. That was hardly a secret.
Caught off guard by Ye Ling’s bluntness, Dong Xun coughed awkwardly a few times.
"However much money you can scrape together, we’ll take. But there is one thing I need to remind you of..."
Ye Ling continued, "This operation is very risky. We’re going up against an entity that is even more powerful and more deeply entrenched than the last one, so the risk will be greater."
"More powerful?"
Dong Xun was taken aback for a moment, his eyes narrowing.
He knew what Ye Ling was referring to with ’the last one’.
The last time, Celestial Dragon Investment Company’s target was the Fruit Group!
’So...’
’This time it’s someone even more powerful?’
At that moment, Dong Xun had already roughly guessed Ye Ling’s chosen target!
"I don’t care. We’re definitely in on this one," Dong Xun said, gritting his teeth.
Ye Ling hadn’t been wrong earlier. Their funding was truly scarce, pitifully so!
He had been practically dying of envy when Celestial Dragon Investment Company was raking it in last time...
He had missed the chance to even get a sip of the soup last time, so he was determined to get in on it this time, no matter what.
Even with the risk of losses.
"Alright. Once you’ve made up your mind, just wire the money directly to the company’s account. You know which one," Ye Ling said before hanging up the voice call.
