Chapter 3726 - 3717: The Show Begins
Chapter 3726: Chapter 3717: The Show Begins
That night, Lin Yi booked a few tables at the hotel, and the guests were all senior executives of Lingyun Group.
There was a bit of showmanship in it too, drawing them a big pie, and paving the way for the final wrap-up.
After dinner, Lin Yi slowly drove home while scrolling through what was happening online.
#Sinus visits Lingyun Group, received by the deputy director of the marketing department.
#Kaijie Group shows weakness, Lingyun Group ruthlessly kicks a dog when it’s down.
#Kaijie Group CEO pays a visit, Lingyun Group executives go fishing by the sea.
#National enterprise, standing at the top of the world.
One message after another spread across the internet like a virus, and the top five trending searches were all about Lingyun Group.
This level of hype had already exceeded Lin Yi’s expectations.
Yan Ci’s ability was beyond doubt.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Shen Shuyi.
"Mom."
"You guys really went big this time. Even your Uncle Lu was stunned."
"They came here to screw us over and stabilize their own stock price. At a time like this, you can’t be talking about Martial World Ethics." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"I understand what you’re thinking, but right now, I’ve got some bad news."
"What bad news?"
"There are some new policies from above to push the localization of semiconductors, and a lot of funding has been allocated," Shen Shuyi said:
"But Lingyun Group isn’t in a leading position, you might not even get to drink the soup."
"They’re afraid of a monopoly, I get it. Big trees catch the wind."
"It hasn’t gotten to that point yet. Originally, under this round of policy guidance, Lingyun Group was still in the C position. But because the Chen family raised a similar concern, saying in name that it should be ’blossom in many places and develop comprehensively,’ Lingyun Group was excluded."
Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, then said in a low voice:
"I’m guessing Shitong Electronics took the biggest slice, right?"
"So you already know the relationship between Shitong Electronics and the Chen family."
"Yeah, it’s invested by the Chen family."
"Right. To avoid suspicion, the Chen family gave the opportunity to Shitong Electronics," Shen Shuyi said:
"I’ve seen the joint statement they released recently. It does have an impact on you. Once the policy news comes out, the blow to you will grow even bigger, and your so-called Technology Sharing Association and foundation will be heavily discounted in their effect."
Lin Yi understood exactly what Shen Shuyi meant.
Without policy and capital support, Sun Shengyao and his Shitong Electronics couldn’t stir up even the slightest ripple.
But once the policy dropped, it would be a different story.
People in the circle could sense the attitude from above. The impression it gave was that Lingyun Group had been left out, so the lure of the Technology Sharing Association and the foundation naturally wouldn’t be that strong anymore.
After all, policy direction is extremely important; reading the situation and going with the trend—that’s the whole point.
"Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already arranged everything that comes after. This time, I’m not just going after Shitong Electronics, but the Chen family as well."
"You’ve already thought of a way to deal with the Chen family?"
"Yeah. I’m waiting for the announcement to be released, so all these monsters and demons can jump out, and then I’ll catch them all in one net."
"You know exactly what the Chen family’s situation is right now. If you’re not absolutely sure, don’t do this," Shen Shuyi said:
"Find some time to call your Uncle Lu and the old man. On matters like this, there’s no room for any mistakes."
"Got it, Mom."
"Do you still need my funds over here?"
"I probably won’t need them for now," Lin Yi said with a smile. "I think you can use them to invest."
"I’ve already put quite a bit of money into your Lingyun Group. If this keeps going, you’re about to acquire me."
"That’s one way to put it, but when there’s something good, I have to think of my mother-in-law. Maybe it’ll help you go one step further."
"Hm?"
Shen Shuyi’s tone shifted, then she laughed.
"Help me go one step further? Sounds like you’ve had too much to drink."
"I can talk nonsense to anyone, just not to my mother-in-law. Anyway, we’re playing big this round. If you’ve got money, just invest it. This is the best chance to move up a level."
"Tell me first what kind of moths you’re trying to stir up this time."
"It’s boring if I tell you now. Just wait for my good news," Lin Yi said with a laugh:
"As soon as the official policy announcement comes down, that’s when I’ll reveal my trump card."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be tomorrow or the day after," Shen Shuyi said.
"Then I’ll get ready too. The show’s about to start."
After talking business, Shen Shuyi hung up.
At this moment, Lin Yi felt incredibly relaxed. Those people who were itching to make a move were kind of funny to him.
Shen Shuyi had a lot of investments in Lingyun Group; that was a guaranteed insurance card.
As long as things didn’t get to the level of ignoring the rules altogether, no one could really do anything to Lingyun Group.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi called Shen Tianzhuo.
"Boss Shen, how’s the plan looking?"
"There are still a few minor issues. I’m doing the final revisions; otherwise it’ll be a bit difficult in execution. But overall, the plan is excellent. I’ll say it again: this is a genius idea. Even if you weren’t my boss, I’d still say that."
"Then I won’t be modest with you, Boss Shen. But we have to speed it up; we might need it at any time."
"Give me one more day. I’m already looking forward to seeing how this thing will overturn the world."
"Haha, let’s look forward to it together."
After arranging the series of follow-up matters, Lin Yi drove home.
He went to bed early with Ji Qingyan to rest.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi, still asleep, was woken up.
"Over in the Beautiful Country, they’ve issued another announcement, restricting a lot of things. But this time, it’s not led by the authorities, though it still has an impact on us."
"That’s within my expectations. If nothing goes wrong, our announcement over here should be coming out soon too."
"But policy guidance and capital don’t necessarily solve substantive problems. In the end, it still depends on our Optical Lithography Factory plan."
"Exactly. But I’m waiting for the news to be made public. As soon as it comes out, all those monsters and demons will jump out, and then we’ll hit them head-on."
"Knew it had to be you. Once this disruptive news comes out, the entire industry will be shaken. I already can’t wait to watch the show," Ji Qingyan said.
"Don’t rush it. The show’s about to start."
Since there was nothing much to do today, after breakfast, the two of them took Little Nuonuo to kindergarten together, then went to Lingyun Group.
Aside from some trivial matters, Shen Shuyi’s investments were also being pushed forward in full swing.
At 1 p.m. that afternoon, the official announcement was formally released, and its content was pretty much what Shen Shuyi had said.
There was a lot of policy support and funding, but none of it went to Lingyun Group.
Seeing the announcement, Lin Yi smiled, stretched lazily, and muttered to himself:
"The show’s about to begin."
