Chapter 563: Do You Dare to Go Solo?

Lin Yi reached the second floor and was about to eat something when He Yuanyuan, Zhao Wen, and the others followed him in.

“How much money do we have on the books now?” Lin Yi asked in the restaurant.

“I’ve already done my calculations. The company has about 20 billion yuan in total.” He Yuanyuan said.

“However, apart from these, Sino-Han Capital, Xinhua Airlines, and Longteng Machinery have invested a total of 13 billion yuan into us. At this same time, Senior Sister has also invested 3 billion yuan. If we include all of them, we have about 36 billion yuan on our books.”

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said,

“Now, you and Old Qi need to open the stock market and try your best to buy up all the shares in the hands of the retail investors. Reduce the circulation of our shares in the stock market and spend our 20 billion yuan first. If you don’t have enough money, use the remaining 16 billion yuan.”

In this 1v4 game, Lin Yi didn’t really want to rely on the strength of others.

However, in order to make this game more fun, he would only borrow their strength when he had no other choice.

“Are you sure you want to spend all this money?”

Lin Yi nodded. “Just do as I say.”

“Got it.”

He Yuanyuan and Qi Xianzhao left first, preparing to do the tasks that Lin Yi had arranged.

At this moment, Zhao Wen walked over. Lin Yi handed the seven signed contracts to her.

“It’s all done. Here’s the contract.”

Zhao Wen took the contract silently and said to Lin Yi,

“Let me introduce you to someone.”

“Who?”

Zhao Wen turned around and gave Zhu Feng a look.

The latter walked over and greeted Lin Yi, handing over his business card with both hands.

“Hello, Mr. Lin. Let me introduce myself first. I’m Zhu Feng, the person in charge of Muddy Waters LLC’s operations in the Asia-Pacific region.”

After learning Feng Zhu’s identity, Lin Yi paused and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

He never thought that he would be able to meet the people from Muddy Waters at this time.

“Are you here to watch the show? I’ll prepare a seat in the front row for you.”

“Mr. Lin, you’ve misunderstood,” Feng Zhu said politely.

“I’ll clarify the untrue information that we previously released at the press conference later. We apologize for the negative impact it may have had on you.”

“Huh? You want to apologize?”

This time, Lin Yi was even more confused.

It was clearly you who moved first and caused the situation to turn out like this. Now, you are actually looking at me and saying that you want to speak up on my behalf?

What kind of strange plan was this?

I finally thought of a way to deal with this, but you guys actually surrendered?

‘Man, this is boring.’

“Yes, the information online is all fake. We did this on purpose to discredit Lingyun Group and Didi. I’ll clarify this matter at the press conference later. I hope to recoup as much of losses as possible.”

Lin Yi was still confused. He couldn’t understand why Muddy Waters would do this.

However, Lin Yi subconsciously looked at Zhao Wen.

This person called Feng Zhu was brought over by her, so this matter might be related to her.

“Can you explain to me what happened?”

“Pfizer joined forces with the six major pharmaceutical companies and put Muddy Waters under some pressure. They were forced to apologize because of this attack,” Zhao Wen said.

Lin Yi suddenly understood. “You’re afraid that this incident will affect our cooperation, right?”

“That’s right.” Zhao Wen nodded and said, “A partnership agreement has been reached. The major pharmaceutical companies will definitely not want their interests to be damaged.”

“Alright, I understand after you’ve explained it.”

Muddy Waters did have some influence in the financial industry.

However, compared to Pfizer and the six major pharmaceutical companies, they were like an insignificant ant.

Under just a little pressure, they disarmed and surrendered immediately.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but want to laugh.

This was too much of a coincidence. He had already taken out his saber, but someone had helped him kill the prey in front of him. It was quite interesting.

“Mr. Lin, I apologize to you sincerely. If you have any other requests, you can ask me now. As long as it doesn’t violate my principles, I will do as you say.”

Lin Yi played with the business card in his hand, then placed it on the table and gently pushed it back.

This action confused Zhao Wen and Zhu Feng. They did not know what he meant.

“I can convince Pfizer and the six pharmaceutical companies to withdraw all the pressure on you and ensure Muddy Waters will not have to worry about this. The two of us will have a solo duel and see who ends up standing at the end of it.”

Lin Yi looked at Feng Zhu with a cold smile.

“Do you dare to accept this?”

“Well …”

Feng Zhu was stunned and began to reevaluate Lin Yi.

At first, he thought that Lin Yi had put pressure on Pfizer and the six pharmaceutical companies, which was why they did this.

However, from the conversation just now, he could tell that things were not as he initially assumed.

Lin Yi didn’t ask Pfizer or the six pharmaceutical companies to do anything. They did it willingly.

The reason why he wanted to hold this press conference might be because he had really thought of a solution.

If he wasn’t completely confident, he probably wouldn’t have dared to say such things to him!

This was because the information he had on hand was enough to run circles around Didi!

Looking at the powerful aura emitted from Lin Yi, Feng Zhu’s body trembled uncontrollably.

This was the first time he felt pressure from a person.

It was also the first time he doubted his own ability.

If the two of them fought alone without any external interference, would he be Lin Yi’s match?

Feng Zhu didn’t dare to think about it, nor did he dare to be so confident.

“Do you dare?” Lin Yi asked again.

“Mr. Lin, you must be joking. With my ability, how can I compare to you? I’ll apologize to the media outlets later. Don’t worry about that.”

“Boring.”

Lin Yi stood up. “I won’t be attending the press conference later. Go find the person in charge of Lingyun Group’s public relations department and handle this.”

“Understood, Mr. Lin.” Feng Zhu bowed.

Seeing Lin Yi leave, the three of them followed.

“You’re just going to leave?”

“He has already appeared personally. It’s a little redundant for me to stay here. I might as well go back to the company to see how things are going. There are still many things for me to do, so I won’t waste time here.”

“But if you stay here and clarify the negative news with the reporters present, then have Muddy Waters support your statements from the sidelines, the countereffect will be greater. This way, you will walk away the winner in this short-selling game,” Qin Han said.

“There’s an old Huaxian saying that says that silence is better than words. If I don’t show up at this time, it will leave everyone with an endless trail of imagination. This effect of this will be even better.”

Qin Han rolled his eyes at Lin Yi. “I feel like you’re just doing this because you want to act cool.”
