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

Once the agreement is reached, a cooperation agreement is drafted and signed to take effect.

Xingye Metallurgical Plant changed hands.

Lin Yi's decisive and efficient manner aroused Yu Xingmin's strong interest in him.

So when Lin Yi left, he escorted him all the way to the gate of Xingye Textile Factory.

"Sir, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Watching Lin Yi's two cars drive away, Old Chen, the advisor, spoke up.

"I?"

"both sides."

Yu Xingmin chuckled.

He shook his head: "Old Chen, if we only look at this from a business perspective, it is indeed very hasty."

"However, if we view this as an opportunity, then my approach today is to act decisively."

He had a smug look on his face: "These kinds of opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize them in time, someone else will benefit from them."

Old Chen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"As for Lin Andao's son, he is clearly aware of the value of that special steel technology."

"As soon as this type of steel is released, it will be in short supply and generate continuous profits."

"For him, the sooner production starts, the sooner he will benefit."

"Therefore, there is no need to consider or worry about those minor details."

As he spoke, Yu Xingmin laughed and said, "This young man has an extraordinary presence. His future achievements will likely be beyond the reach of his father, Lin Andao."

Old Chen smiled, but then said with some concern, "I remember you said that when doing business, you should try to avoid cooperating with people who have strong personalities."

"Now that he has taken control of the metallurgical plant, it will be very difficult for us to get involved in the future."

"Moreover, the metallurgical plant will definitely expand its production capacity in the future, and even if there are profits, they will be used for expansion."

"At that time, it will be difficult for us to use the metallurgical plant to help the textile factory."

"You have a point."

Yu Xingmin nodded, but his smile remained unchanged.

"However, he is short of money, so if he really chooses to expand production, it would be a rare opportunity for me."

As he spoke, seeing Old Chen's blank expression, Yu Xingmin's smugness grew even stronger.

“If he didn’t need the money, he would have directly discussed an acquisition, instead of the current cooperation.”

"So, if the metallurgical plant wants to expand production after it goes into operation, as long as I suggest a larger scale, he will have no choice but to mortgage his shares to get a loan from the bank."

Upon hearing the word "loan," Old Chen was startled: "Song Wenchang?"

Anyone in the business world knows that President Song Wenchang has always been a man of imposing ambition.

In Shanghai's business community, anyone who dared to take out a mortgage loan from a bank was practically living in Song Wenchang's hands.

As long as the factory has good profit prospects, even if it is not forced to be handed over, some of the profits will definitely fall into Song Wenchang's hands.

Special steel, a business with guaranteed profits and high returns, will definitely become Song Wenchang's prize!

"Do you understand now?"

Yu Xingmin chuckled, a hint of smugness in his voice, and said, "Having fewer shares has its advantages."

"If Song Wenchang wants to easily take over the metallurgical plant, the simplest way is for me to cooperate from the inside."

"At that time, we will not only be able to sell our shares smoothly and realize our profits, but we will also earn a favor from Song Wenchang."

"Why not?"

Once he fully understood, Old Chen's face immediately broke into a wide smile.

He gave a thumbs-up and said, "Sir, experience truly matters."

"This kid surnamed Lin is actually not bad, but he doesn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts yet. After he suffers a few more losses in the future, he will eventually become a seasoned veteran."

Yu Xingmin said with great certainty.

During this meeting and negotiation, Lin Yi acted very arrogantly.

But Yu Xingmin had to admit that the other party had the confidence to be arrogant.

After all, the fact that he was able to obtain special steel technology, which was kept strictly confidential by the foreign steel industry, speaks volumes about his exceptional abilities.

Therefore, in Yu Xingmin's view, although Lin Yi will suffer some hardships, as long as he learns from his mistakes, his future achievements will be considerable.

Of course, this is all predicated on Song Wenchang not resorting to ruthless extermination to eliminate future troubles...

Lin Yi, having secured controlling interest in Xingye Metallurgical Plant, went directly to Yongli Alkali Plant.

He planned to ask Fan Zhongxu to come out of retirement and get the metallurgical plant's production going as soon as possible.

Old Fan has experience running steel mills and has a wide network of connections.

Building a management team and a technical team is a piece of cake for him...

When Lin Yi came to Fan Zhongxu's door, he immediately offered him the position of general manager of Fenghua Metallurgical Plant, leaving Fan Zhongxu completely stunned.

He has also done a thorough investigation of his partners over the past few days.

The Lin Andao gang rose to prominence.

He does indeed own quite a few businesses.

He also knew about the Feng Hua bicycle that Lin Yi created, which became a sensation in Shanghai.

He even expressed his admiration for it in front of Downs.

After all, they were able to come up with a unique idea to create women's bicycles and make them so popular in Shanghai so quickly.

This was certainly partly due to Zhang Xiaolin using human lives to push things along.

However, we cannot ignore Lin Yi's unique insight.

After all, this is the fundamental reason why Fenghua bicycles are so popular.

It was precisely because of this knowledge that Fan Zhongxu was able to confirm that the Lin family had never been involved in the steel industry.

How come a metallurgical plant suddenly appeared after only a few days, and they even want me to be their general manager?

"Of course, it's not appropriate for someone of your status, Lao Fan, to take a salary."

"So I've prepared five percent of the management shares for you."

wow-

There was a crisp sound.

Startled, Tang Side dropped his water glass onto the coffee table. Seeing that Lin Yi and Fan Zhongxu were both looking at him, he felt extremely embarrassed.

With an awkward smile, Downsted said, "Chairman Lin, you're not joking, are you?"

Lin Yi remained silent.

With a quick tug, Ah Sheng immediately pulled out the cooperation agreement that had just been signed and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi then handed it to Downs.

Downs took it with a puzzled look, and after only two glances, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Seeing his expression, Fan Zhongxu, who was sitting behind his desk, got up and walked over quickly.

He leaned closer to take a look and quickly saw the clause about using special steel technology as equity investment.

He immediately showed a shocked expression.

After a long pause, he asked incredulously, "Chairman Lin, is the technology for special steel real?"

He had run a steel mill before, so he knew all too well the value of specialty steel.

Once domestic production is achieved, it means that China's military and heavy industries will no longer be subject to others!

The significance of this goes far beyond the profits of a single steel mill.

"This kind of thing is hard to fake, isn't it?"

"Hehehe, I misspoke."

Fan Zhongxu's face was beaming with joy.

It's written in black and white in the cooperation agreement, so there's no way it could be fake.

He then said, "Thank you for Chairman Lin's trust. I am happy to help with the metallurgical plant's affairs."

"However, five percent of the shares..."

"I think it's perfect."

Knowing that Fan Zhongxu's tendency to be a pushover had struck again, Tang Side quickly interrupted him.

He smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Chairman Lin, you've found the right person to manage the metallurgical plant."

“Our Yongli Ironworks was built from scratch by Mr. Fan.”

"Entrusting the task to him is absolutely the best choice."
