Chapter 246: Who Would Dare To Disobey Your Sister

“I understand what you mean,” Lin Yi said.

“I’m not the messiah, either, so I’ll just help as much as I can. Don’t worry, I won’t put the cart before the horse.”

Ji Qingyan nodded. It was naturally for the best that Lin Yi understood this.

Charity was naturally a good thing, but one had to control it well as it was a big problem that had existed since ancient times.

It was a social problem that didn’t change because of one’s will. Lin Yi alone couldn’t do resolve it.

“I have a suggestion,” He Yuanyuan said:

“You can use the foundation as a business opportunity for Lingyun Group. Every time you launch a poverty alleviation plan, you can publicize it. It will be very beneficial to the corporate culture and social image.”

“That’s fine,” Ji Qingyan said. “But I think it’s better to wait to do this in the later stages of the plan.”

“Why?”

“Right now, Lingyun Group is still in its fledgling stage. If it’s exposed too early, it won’t be a good thing. The capitalists in the upper class have always maintained the stability of this circle. Once someone rises, the first thing they do is to work together to suppress them. Many companies die in such a situation. Only when they can’t control it will they choose to make peace.”

“With the size of Lingyun group, they might not be able to compete with the entire capital market, so it’s best to keep a low profile and take things one step at a time.”

Ji Qingyan had a better understanding of the dangers of the capital market than Lin Yi and He Yuanyuan.

She wasn’t sure if the other capitalists would do anything bad to Lingyun Group, but it was necessary to take precautions.

Lin Yi didn’t understand it before, but now he understood it deeply.

Longxin was a good example. Stopping them from buying photolithography machines was one of the ways they restricted Longxin’s development. This was the power of capital.

“Boss, what do you think?”

“Your senior sister has spoken. Who dares not to listen?”

“Yo yo yo, I really didn’t think that you were a strict wife.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Ji Qingyan said embarrassedly, but in her heart, she was elated. “This is my pertinent opinion, and he has no reason to refute it.”

“Okay, okay, okay, I understand.”

He Yuanyuan smiled and said, “Director Lin, recently, Cisco’s financing plan has been very smooth. The other party did not suspect the 100 million that you asked Senior Sister to invest.”

“This is within my expectations. What about the others? Did Cisco make any other movements?”

“There’s another big thing. They’re expanding the factory.” He Yuanyuan combed her hair and said.

“I heard through the grapevine that Cisco’s factory in the suburbs of Zhonghai City has imported five more sets of equipment. The production capacity can be increased by at least 30%. They’re working overtime to produce our orders.”

“Do you guys have a rough idea of when they’ll be able to ship the goods?”

“Brother Qi and the people from Cisco have talked about this, and it’ll take about three to four months.”

“They’ve already upgraded the new equipment, and they still need so much time?”

“That’s already a very conservative number,” He Yuanyuan said. “Although they said they’d complete the orders within three to four months, I think it’d already pretty good if they can deliver the goods within four months.”

“I can’t wait for this to happen.”

Ji Qingyan knew everything about Lin Yi’s plan for Cisco, but she still didn’t understand his intentions.

“Right, who’s the person in charge at Cisco’s factory?” Lin Yi asked.

“The factory’s director is Cao Xiangyu, the chairman of Cisco, and the son of Cao Jiadong.” He Yuanyuan said

“He sent his own son there?”

“We don’t know much about Cao Xiangyu. We only know that he was sent to study in England when he was in middle school. He only came back last year,” He Yuanyuan said.

Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.

“Cao Jiadong only has one son?” Lin Yi asked.

“Yes, he only has one son, but he has a daughter named Cao Jingqiu. She’s also studying in England. She’s three years younger than Cao Xiangyu.” He Yuanyuan said.

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at He Yuanyuan.

“I think it’s a waste of your talent to be a CFO. You should be a detective, you know so much.”

“What’s the big deal?” He Yuanyuan said pretentiously. “If you want to know, I can even help you find out when her period arrives.”

Ji Qingyan shook her head speechlessly. What kind of boss did she have? What kind of subordinate did he have? The two of them were a perfect match.

“That’s useless to me. If you want to investigate anyone, you should investigate your senior sister.”

“You don’t have to investigate my senior sister. If you have any ideas at the end of the month, just do it within the next few days.”

Ji Qingyan, “???”

Just like that?

“Can the two of you talk about something normal? This is a meeting!” Ji Qingyan said with a straight face.

“Senior Sister, don’t be shy. You’re already an adult. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“That won’t do either.”

“No problem, I’m just a small accountant. I know what I’m supposed to target,” He Yuanyuan teased, then looked at Lin Yi.

“Boss, the contract is already set in stone. In a few months, the goods will be delivered. Are we really going to give him the rest of the money?” He Yuanyuan said.

“It’s useless even if we buy so many chips.”

“Who says I’m really going to buy them? Isn’t there a breach of contract clause? What are you afraid of?”

“I know,” He Yuanyuan said worriedly.

“Recently, I asked brother Qi about it. Cisco’s Chip 1.0 technology is already the highest level in China’s chip field. Many related experts said that a conservative estimate is that for the next three years, the chip industry in China could be monopolized by Cisco. In terms of technology, it’s no problem for them to remain the leaders in the industry, so our anti-compensation clause is useless.”

“I have my doubts too.” Qingyan said,

“Cisco wouldn’t have agreed to ten times the compensation if they didn’t have the confidence to back it up. It’s too simple-minded to try to deal with Cisco with this alone. The risks are too great.”

Qingyan paused. “And I’m a little confused. Why are you going to trying to deal with Cisco anyway? They’re researchers, so they shouldn’t have anything to do with you.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

The two didn’t know what Lin Yi was up to.

However, they didn’t seem too worried. With his personality, he shouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

“Leader, now that Lingyun Capital has been established, do you have anything specific to say?” He Yuanyuan asked.

“At this stage, we should focus on the technology industry first. We also need to pay particular attention to projects that involve the people’s livelihood” Lin Yi said.

“Do your best to go in as an angel investor. You and Old Qi should be bolder. Don’t be afraid of losing money. Even if we invest in 100 of them and only succeed with one, we’ll be able to recover our losses. Just do it boldly.”

He Yuanyuan had always been meticulous when it came to serious matters. She wrote down Lin Yi’s words in her notebook and prepared to implement them one by one.

“Apart from that, big data and cloud computing centers are also the most important things. Carry out these two projects as soon as possible. This will act as the foundation of Lingyun Group. There can’t be any mistakes.”

“I understand.”

“That’s all I have to say. Let’s do it now.”

“Okay.”

The three of them discussed the details for another half an hour before ending the meeting. He Yuanyuan left as well and didn’t disturb the two of them anymore.

Lin Yi was about to leave after He Yuanyuan left, but he noticed that Ji Qingyan was looking at him strangely.

“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s almost the end of the month, so don’t tell me you have other thoughts.”
