After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 507

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a round smoke ring.

Like his arrogance, he couldn't see any flaws.

"Do you know how many years of hard work my company put in to gain a foothold in the industry?" Lu Yi asked, raising an eyebrow.

In a time of great upheaval, he spent a whole month running around doing business in order to earn his first pot of gold.

With passion and unwavering courage, he finally founded the company he is today.

"You may see this as just a company that you can invest in or acquire, but do you know how difficult it is to build the whole company? Nanfeng Xiaokang is not as easy as you think."

He suddenly felt ridiculous for talking to a young man about the hardships he had experienced back then.

"I spent a full 10 billion on that laboratory in Hong Kong. Researching new energy vehicles is no easy task; it's a long and arduous journey. What makes you think you can get me to agree to it for 20 billion?" He snorted and stubbed out his cigarette.

Just as Lin Ling was about to retort, there was a knock on the door.

The two men turned their gazes toward the door simultaneously, and his assistant soon left.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Su and Miss Lu have arrived. They had arranged a time with you before. What do you think..." The assistant's gaze fell on Lu Yi, then swept over Lin Ling with a complicated expression.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, I knew their conversation wasn't going smoothly.

If successful, their own CEO, who doesn't smoke, would even seem extremely dissatisfied.

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and then waved his hand.

"Since there's an appointment, we should stick to it. We can't keep people waiting, can we?" This may seem like fulfilling an agreement, but it's actually a way of telling them to leave.

Lin Ling, not wanting to make a fool of himself, simply gave a meaningful look before slowly getting up.

"President Lu must have endured a lot of hardship to build Nanfeng Xiaokang, but once certain industries reach their end, there is no way to turn things around. I am not trying to suppress the industry, nor am I trying to cause you trouble. I just want to seek cooperation and win-win results. You can consider it."

He wasn't trying to be conciliatory; he wanted to reason with them and appeal to their emotions.

Lu Yi stubbed out his cigarette, said nothing, and just stared intently at Lin Ling.

Sensing that the other party still maintained a dissatisfied and arrogant attitude, Lin Ling decided not to linger any longer.

There are many industries at the forefront of development, and new energy vehicles can only achieve better development with the support of policies.

Since you've already made plans with others, it means that many more people are eyeing this opportunity.

Flowers always attract bees, but only flies swarm around toilets.

He strode out of the office, walking briskly without looking back or hesitating.

Anyway, we have enough capital to make one more Nanfeng Xiaokang, so it doesn't matter if we lose one more.

As Lin Ling was leaving in the elevator, she suddenly saw two beautiful figures not far away.

A woman dressed in an elegant suit and white high heels exuded a capable and efficient aura.

With her long hair tied in a ponytail, she looks every bit the successful career woman.

The other person had curly hair and heavy makeup.

The perfume she wore was a bit pungent, and her blue dress accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her look exceptionally charming.

Although Lin Ling guessed the identities of the two, he did not make a sound and left in the elevator.

After he left Nanfeng Xiaokang and returned to his car, he immediately began to review the situation.

His right index finger tapped lightly on the steering wheel, his gaze fixed on the distance, seemingly vacant, but actually lost in thought.

They must both be optimistic about the development prospects of the new energy vehicle industry, which will be a major trend. Their presence here must have been well-prepared.

The real reason Lu Yi didn't want to do business with him wasn't because his offer was too low.

Rather, it was because the other party never took him seriously from the beginning.

Perhaps he wanted to not only prevent his company from going bankrupt through the acquisition, but also to make connections with powerful figures.

He can make the most money and also build relationships; he is truly a profit-driven businessman.

What advantages does he have compared to those two women?
