People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

With the red envelope in hand, the loan application process went extremely smoothly.

Within two days, the 1.8 million loan from four banks was quickly secured.

Half of the funds were allocated to the newly established equipment factory, and Lin Yi planned to use the other half as the first investment in Yongli Alkali Plant.

The timing was perfect.

On that very day, Lin Yi received a call from Fan Zhongxu.

The other party had prepared the information he needed...

At Pier 3, I briefly looked through the documents brought by Fan Zhongxu at Andao Company.

Having obtained several key data points, Lin Yi directly stated his terms.

"The investment of three million remains unchanged, but I want 45% of the shares."

According to the information provided by Fan Zhongxu.

He invested more than seven million yuan in Yongli Alkali Plant.

However, more than half of that was the investment from the previous patent purchase.

However, as of now, apart from the land retaining its value and some production equipment still having some residual value, everything else has been wasted.

Of course, Wynn also has brand value.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi did not find any valuation for this aspect in the data.

Fan Zhongxu himself probably didn't realize the commercial value inherent in China's First Alkali.

Lin Yi, of course, wouldn't turn down his own money and would remind the other party.

Although he admired Fan Zhongxu, since it was business, he had to follow the rules of business.

He will not help Fan Zhongxu share this part of the loss.

As for 45%, there is room for negotiation.

Forty-three percent is Lin Yi's bottom line, but he would be even happier if he could get more.

"Chairman Lin, 45 percent is too high."

The assistant manager of the alkali plant, Tang Side, was the first to shake his head.

“If you want that many, then your shares will exceed Mr. Fan’s.”

"As you can see, I own 5% of the shares in the alkali plant, and Professor Hou contributed his technology, accounting for 8%."

“If you take this much, then Mr. Fan will only have 42 percent left.”

"He has devoted so much effort and resources to the alkali plant; this is inappropriate."

Hearing the other party playing the emotional card, Lin Yi smiled but didn't say anything. His gaze swept across Professor Hou's face and looked at Fan Zhongxu.

The reason he set the bottom line at 43% was that controlling stake was also an important consideration.

In the process of enterprise development, various choices will inevitably be made.

When faced with these choices, everyone's thinking will certainly differ to some extent.

Tang Side, the assistant manager, was Fan Zhongxu's confidant and would always stand with Fan Zhongxu through thick and thin.

If Lin Yi and Fan Zhongxu disagree, then whoever holds more shares will naturally have their way.

Since they couldn't win over Downsted, the attitude of Professor Hou, who was in charge of technology, was crucial.

As long as he stands with Lin Yi, the alkali plant will have to listen to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was confident about this.

For someone in the tech field, just give them a promising research topic, and you'll be able to win them over.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario.

According to Lin Yi's plan, when his steel plant is established, he intends to bring Fan Zhongxu into the investment.

No need to invest money; just exchange shares of the alkali plant.

At that time, absolute control will naturally be obtained.

Fan Zhongxu had no idea that everything was already part of Lin Yi's plan.

When Lin Yi started watching him, he knew that Lin Yi was waiting for him to give in.

After hesitating for a long time, Fan Zhongxu gritted his teeth and said, "Forty-two percent, no more than that."

"And there are additional conditions: the three million promised by Chairman Lin must be settled within two months."

"Forty-three, apart from ensuring that all funds are in place within two months, I will not be involved in the daily production management."

Lin Yi smiled and stated his final condition.

He didn't understand the production management of the alkali plant, nor did he plan to send anyone to get involved.

His motto is: leave professional matters to professionals.

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Fan Zhongxu's gaze subconsciously drifted towards Professor Hou, who was unwilling to get involved in the matter.

As for Downsted, he had a furrowed brow.

Although the words were not explicitly stated.

But Lin Yi kept the shareholding at 43%, clearly aiming for a stronger voice in the company.

Although Professor Hou and Fan Zhongxu have a close relationship now, it's hard to say which side he will take when faced with interests.

While he was fretting over these thoughts, Fan Zhongxu had already made a decision.

"Okay, then forty-three percent."

There was no other way; Lin Yi's investment was now a matter of life and death for Yongli.

Apart from Lin Yi, they cannot find any other investors in the short term.

It's better than selling the alkali plant to Song Wenchang.

"Pleasant to work with."

Lin Yi stood up from the sofa and extended his right hand to Fan Zhongxu.

With the general direction set, the remaining details become much easier to handle.

Downs drafted an investment agreement that, in addition to equity provisions, also stipulated an investment of three million, to be made in three installments.

One million will be paid within three days of signing the agreement.

The remaining amount will be paid in installments of one million each at the thirty-day and sixty-day mark.

Fan Zhongxu also guaranteed in the agreement that the industrial alkali would be officially launched on the market within 45 days.

Once the final funding arrives, the fertilizer plant must begin construction immediately.

As for the clause regarding 'non-major matters' that Downstreet secretly added, which the major shareholder has the right to make decisions on its own, Lin Yi pretended not to see it.

Ultimately, the determination of whether a matter is of great importance depends on who controls the majority of the shares.

The signature took effect, but there was no champagne or fireworks.

For Lin Yi, this was just an investment that wasn't even of medium size, something he was used to taking lightly.

While Fan Zhongxu was happy, he was mostly exhausted.

These past two months have been incredibly difficult for him...

216 Ferguson Road, Lin Mansion.

"Uncle Nan, are you sick?"

Uncle Nan, who had been away from home for several days, finally returned.

However, his voice was hoarse, and his left cheek was bulging out.

Lin Yi, who had just returned home, saw him looking like this and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just have a sore throat."

Uncle Nan said with a hint of pain on his face.

"Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen the doctor, and he prescribed some medicine."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and while refilling the water glass in front of him, asked, "Was this trip for business again?"

"Well, I had some things to take care of and visited a few regular customers, so I was delayed for a few days."

Uncle Nan casually said, picked up his water glass and took a sip, immediately showing a pained expression on his face.

This forced Lin Yi, who had originally planned to subtly probe, to abandon his little scheme.

He was somewhat puzzled by Uncle Nan's recent series of outings.

It's normal for business to run into problems, but if this veteran has to step in for every little thing, then something's not right.

It should be noted that the Lin family's shipping business has been around for many years.

Although Lin Yi has not been involved and is unaware of the details so far.

But after so many years, even a makeshift team should have developed a complete management process.

If it's something minor, there's no reason why Uncle Nan, the person in charge, should have to get involved.

But if it's something important, Uncle Nan should at least give him a brief explanation.

But now it's clear that he doesn't want to say a single word more.

Lin Yi strongly suspected that he was intentionally keeping it from him.

But seeing Uncle Nan in this state, he couldn't bear to ask any further questions.

All I could say was, "Please take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. If anything comes up at the company, just leave it to me."

"it is good."

Uncle Nan nodded, though he had originally intended to laugh.

But as soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but show a pained expression on his face again.

It's confirmed, it's a razor-sharp voice!

This Lin Yishu.

Common heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs are extremely slow to take effect.

We need a powerful weapon like cephalosporin.

He was about to remind Uncle Nan that he should see a Western doctor.

Before he could even utter a word, he froze in shock.

Anti-inflammatory drugs?!
