Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 230 A Sneak Peek! (Second Update!)

Looking at the brown paper bag, Lin Yi didn't reach out to take it immediately; instead, he frowned.

After a long while, he finally asked, "How did the news from Yanjing end up being forwarded to you?"

"Shouldn't they all be given to Jinling?"

In short, Qin Chao's face, which had just relaxed, tightened again, but only tightened, because Lin Yi was right.

He sighed, pressed his hand to his temple, and said:

“It was Zhong Zhenbang from the East China Bureau of the State Security Bureau. He contacted me around 8 a.m. and said that some Middle Eastern crown prince was coming to see me.”

"They also said this was a very good opportunity to make investments and that I must seize it."

"It also reflects the intention of the higher-ups."

"Then, he gave me this information."

"Then he brought his men to check our cooperation records."

"They checked until 11 o'clock, but didn't find any problems in principle, so they left."

That's why I asked you, what exactly did you do?

At this point, a look of suspicion appeared on Qin Chao's face. He looked Lin Yi up and down, and finally tilted his head to ask:
"Why do you know any princes in the Middle East?"

This question left Lin Yi unsure where to begin.

Not knowing what to say, he simply remained silent, reached for the brown paper bag, and opened it.

The plan is not complicated. It simply involves increasing manpower, blocking the areas that need to be blocked, guarding the areas that need to be guarded, waiting for people to come, and then waiting for them to leave.

Therefore, the only uncertainty lies with the crown prince.

I don't know the other person's personality, nor do I know what they plan to do.

As for the crown prince's surname and given name, Lin Yi already had a guess in his mind.

Besides Saller, he couldn't think of anyone else who would have such a entourage.

Setting aside this so-called security plan, Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at Qin Chao:
"Did the security bureau say when they would arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chao's face instantly turned bitter. He then looked up and said with a pained expression, "The Security Bureau said that if it were later, it would be this afternoon. If it were earlier, perhaps it would be now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi's phone, which was on his desk, rang.

The two turned their heads almost simultaneously, then turned back to look at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, picked up his phone, and answered the call.

The next moment, a very familiar voice came from the phone.

The voice of Jiang Zhiyu from the State Security Bureau.

Speaking very fast:
"Prince Saler has arrived. Please open the door!"

grass.

Cursing under his breath, Lin Yi quickly walked to the window and looked out. He noticed that a row of luxury cars had appeared on the street outside the factory.

Beside these luxury cars stood several burly men dressed in black.

These burly men were clearly well-trained and very capable fighters.

Hey!
Lin Yi cursed under his breath, then turned and smiled at Qin Chao, telling him to wait in the office.

Qin Chao rejected the suggestion and followed Lin Yi downstairs.

When the two arrived at the factory gate, the owner of the luxury car had already gotten out and appeared next to the guardhouse.

Wearing a white headscarf and a white silk robe, with a large beard that obscured his age, all that could be seen was his smiling face as he looked around with the curiosity of a child.

Standing next to this curious child, Jiang Zhiyu, dressed in a black casual outfit, looked like an ordinary passerby.

When Lin Yi and his companion appeared, everyone outside the guardhouse turned their attention to them.

The most excited of them all was the curious baby.

He walked up to Lin Yi, opened his arms, and was about to hug him when Lin Yi raised his hand to interrupt him, responding in Arabic: "Sorry!"

"I'm not used to this kind of etiquette!"

Qin Chao was overjoyed when he saw the foreigner in the white robe approaching and preparing to hug Lin Yi.

He had heard of Saudi Arabia; it was a very wealthy country.

The security agency also confirmed that the person who came to visit today was the Saudi Crown Prince, who is very wealthy.

These people can casually toss around tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

As long as these people are willing to invest in the company, Suzhou will soon become the capital of Jiangsu Province!
But upon hearing Lin Yi say something, the smile on the other person's face vanished instantly, and he panicked.

He stood behind Lin Yi and gently poked Lin Yi's lower back with his hand:
"Smile!"

"He's a lucky charm; you can't hit someone who's smiling at you!"

Ahead, with Qin Chao poking his lower back, Lin Yi couldn't help but turn around, slapping Qin Chao's hand away. He then turned back, pointed at the office building, and spoke to Saler:
Shall we talk inside?

"Hmm!" Saller nodded, turned to give instructions to the person beside him, took a briefcase from their hand, gave Jiang Zhiyu a smile, and then walked up to Lin Yi:

"Please lead the way, Mr. Lin."

“Okay!” Lin Yi nodded, turned and walked in front, with Salergan behind. Qin Chao was about to follow when he was stopped by Salergan, who said in broken Chinese:

"I'm planning to invest in some businesses in Suzhou, Mr. Qin. You can talk to my assistant about it."

Upon hearing that the tycoon in front of him was planning to invest in some industries, Qin Chao immediately transformed into a pure GDP warrior, decisively forgetting Lin Yi's existence.

He turned around, and another bearded man dressed similarly to Saler approached him: "Mayor Qin, let's have a chat."

Upon arriving at the office, after arranging for everyone to sit on the sofa, Lin Yi sat directly opposite Saler and asked:
"Mr. Saller, what brings you here today?"

"cooperate!"

Hearing the two words he uttered, Lin Yi chuckled, then unceremoniously sprawled out on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked:
Do you think there's a need for us to cooperate?

"Or rather, do you still have any credibility with me?"

Seeing that Saler's face was getting darker and darker, Lin Yi pressed his advantage and began to softly list his grievances on his fingers:
"Let's start with the matter of Israel."

"Israel bombed it, and then your brother told the people in the UAE about it."

"Then let's talk about the international defense exhibition."

"Are you really going to put me on the hot seat?!"

"You won't be happy unless you roast me to death!"

The complaining made Saller turn his head away guiltily, touching his nose. He then forced himself to remain calm and turned his head back.

"Mr. Lin, in your Chinese terms, we also have our own difficulties."

"You've probably heard about America's recent international activities."

"Within their own country, their armies have actually begun self-examination, adjustment, and purging of abscesses."

"Externally, they use Iraq as a springboard to attack Syria, contain Türkiye and Iran, and at the same time contain Russia."

"In this environment, we can only choose a path that makes us appear to have a choice."

"I am deeply sorry for my previous behavior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Salle stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Yi to express his apology.

Lin Yi did not accept his bow. When Saler bowed, he moved aside, allowing Saler's bow to fall into empty space.

Watching his actions, Saller sighed softly, sat back on the sofa, opened the briefcase beside him, took out a document, and placed it on the table:
"This is our apology!"

On the opposite sofa, Lin Yi glanced at the documents, let out a soft scoff, and then burst out laughing:
"Mr. Sale, you don't think I'm the kind of person who can be easily bribed, do you?"

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Saler was silent for a moment, then pushed the document forward again.

After waiting a while, seeing that Lin Yi didn't take the document, he licked his lips and explained softly:

"This is an investment document."

"A $20 billion investment letter. Mr. Lin, just sign your name on this letter, and the funds will be in your account tomorrow." *Whoosh!*
Lin Yi grabbed the document and quickly flipped through it.

In just a few minutes, he finished reading the document, which was dozens of pages long.

This investment document is almost identical to the one Rashid gave us a few days ago.

The only difference is that the investor has changed from a Dubai state-owned holding group to a Saudi investment fund.

After putting down the document, Lin Yi, still with a stern face, pressed on with the following question:

"is it necessary?"

"It's necessary!" Saller's expression turned extremely serious in that instant, his blue eyes fixed on Lin Yi as he explained:

"Thanks to your reminder, Mr. Lin, the foundation under my control also purchased a large number of mining company stocks a couple of days ago."

"With your actions these past two days, Mr. Lin, these stocks have seen a very significant increase."

“This time, we invested a total of approximately $14 billion.”

"In just one week, we got our principal back and earned returns far exceeding that."

"To be more precise, the $20 billion investment was actually earned for us by you, Mr. Lin!"

"We're investing this money here, which, in your Chinese terms, is called 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha'."

They know quite a lot.

Lin Yi mentally muttered a complaint as he placed his fingers on the file:

"Are there really no conditions?"

"no!"

"Really do not have?"

"Really do not have!"

After Salle answered again, the document on the table vanished instantly and fell into Lin Yi's arms.

Lin Yi patted the document with his hand and continued to ask with a smile:

"Mr. Nasal, is there anything else you've come here for?"

As soon as he finished asking the question, he held up three fingers in front of Lin Yi.

"I have three things to say. First, I want to apologize to Mr. Lin about the UAE International Defence Exhibition."

"The second thing is to inquire about when is the right time to sell the stocks this time."

"The third thing is that we need some good guys."

After hearing Saler's three things, especially the third one, Lin Yi felt guilty and looked away.

For the sake of money, the first thing has been done so far.

The second thing can be implemented next week.

As for the third thing.

What does "handy" mean?
Hypersonic missile? Nuclear weapon?

Can that thing be sold?

No.

With a blink of an eye, Lin Yi already knew the answer.

He first took out a pen from his pocket and began signing his name on the document, saying as he did so:
“I have felt your sincerity, so the first thing you did upon arriving is to declare the matter closed and brought to a close.”

"The second thing."

“I have already made an appointment with Rashid that we will start our escape next Monday, after the morning trading session, which is at 12 o’clock.”

"The third thing..."

Lin Yi spread his hands, giving a helpless look:

"For a country, what is convenient is too dangerous, and I am powerless to help."

"And they are not allowed to have the ability either."

The almost explicit words instantly darkened Saler's face, and he lowered his head, which had been held high.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then shrugged as if to make it seem casual.

"It's just talk."

Seeing Lin Yi finish signing the investment letter, he stood up decisively, took the letter, put it back in his briefcase, and said with a smile:

"I will stay in Suzhou for the next few days until this matter is over."

"This may be troublesome for Mr. Lin, please don't mind."

Understanding the meaning behind the other party's words, Lin Yi did not refuse, but simply followed behind Saler and saw him out of the factory.

Because he had a pleasant conversation with the other party's assistant, Qin Chao's car left with the luxury convoy, leaving Lin Yi all alone.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back to my office, Ji Shuangshuang appeared carrying a salted duck, shook it, and said with a smug look on her face:

"The new dish at that salted duck shop in the village is salted duck with added sugar."

Looking at the sugar coating on the salted duck, Lin Yi felt a sense of helplessness for no reason.

That feeling was like the helplessness of a widow being falsely accused.

At noon, Lin Yi held his nose and ate salted duck covered in sugar. In the afternoon, he chose to cook for himself.

On Sunday, Lin Yi took a day off and did nothing but stay in bed and sleep all day.

To conserve energy for the upcoming battle.

Before you know it, it's Monday again.

After arranging his work for the coming week, Lin Yi went to sleep in his office, waiting for nightfall.

Just after getting off work in the afternoon, Rashid appeared in front of Lin Yi in his little Maybach. Besides him, there was another person in the car.

Salle.

When they met again, Salle had changed out of his signature Arab robe and into a suit without any tags, but which was obviously very expensive.

Lin Yi led the people to the meeting room, placed the prepared landline phone in front of them, and then waited quietly.

The waiting time is the hardest to endure.

After a long wait, the American Stock Exchange finally opened.

Thanks to Lin Yi's actions last week and the official response from Science, the stock price started to surge upwards again as soon as the market opened.

The speed at which it was running terrified the three instigators.

With a heart full of trepidation, the second hand pointed to 12.

12 points!
The phone on the table rang right on time. I pressed the speakerphone button, and Hancock's greeting came through the receiver.

Ji Shuangshuang didn't exchange pleasantries with Hancock and went straight to stating her requirements:

"Sell all stocks immediately!"

"Sell them off as quickly as possible!"

Simple and quick commands were transmitted to Hancock's ears via electrical signals.

Hancock, a trader, was not surprised at all by Ji Shuangshuang's decision; he simply said "ok".

In any case, he can still earn commissions.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi waited a while before opening the New York Stock Exchange website.

On the New York Stock Exchange website, several stocks that were originally marked as sold out, including Chilean chemical and mining companies, FMC, Talison, and Galaxy Resources, immediately changed their status.

It went from being sold out to being available for sale.
