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

He made a fortune in the stock market through quick in-and-out short-term trading.

The stock price of Sothink is likely to see further gains.

But according to Lin Yide's estimate, it shouldn't be too high.

After all, the current price advantage lies entirely with the Xin Card.

Unless Sothink comes up with some explosive news, it has no hope of recovering its market position.

Without a market, retail investors won't be foolish enough to rush in and prop up the stock price of Sothink again.

Therefore, the possibility of making a fortune again is extremely slim.

For the next two days, Lin Yi did not go to the exchange.

A thousand dollars hired a private investigator who easily located Carrier Engineering in New Jersey.

The industrial disaster Tony described—air conditioning—was a product of this engineering company.

However, according to information gathered by private investigator Thorson, things are somewhat different from what Tony said.

Carrier Engineering has been established for more than ten years, and its main business since its inception has been the manufacture of air conditioners.

Previously, Carrier's customers were mainly focused on factories.

We specialize in providing air conditioners and air conditioning equipment to factories in need.

Large size, high noise level.

This is a characteristic of Carrier's products.

If used in a factory, no one would mind these two drawbacks.

As for entering the home air conditioning market, Carrier only started doing that last year.

Compared to the industrial version, the technology has improved significantly.

The area has been reduced by more than half, to about sixteen square meters.

Even in terms of noise control, there have been some improvements.

Unfortunately, the market did not recognize it.

The exorbitant prices make it unaffordable for the American middle class, while the wealthy, accustomed to luxury, cannot tolerate the noise from air conditioners.

The market outlook was bleak, and Carrier's products were thus considered industrial waste.

When Lin Yi suddenly came to visit, Kaili, as the major shareholder and founder, was initially very polite.

Not only did they prepare coffee, but they also brought out their own Cuban cigars for entertaining guests.

Upon hearing Lin Yi explain his purpose—to invest in his company—Carli's brows immediately furrowed.

The man, who had been leaning forward on the sofa, suddenly leaned back as he exhaled a puff of smoke: "Mr. Lin, didn't you come here to order an air conditioner?"

"I'm sorry, my business doesn't need air conditioners at the moment."

"However, Mr. Carrier and I share the same view on the future of home air conditioning."

"Compared to industrial air conditioners, residential air conditioners have a much brighter future."

"Based on this, I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Despite ten years of accumulation, Carrier Engineering Company is not a large company.

However, the mature supply chain, technological reserves, and brand awareness all make it worthwhile for Lin Yi to invest heavily to become the second largest shareholder.

It won't be difficult to gain controlling interest at the shareholders' meeting by using technology as a secondary investment.

We will definitely be able to bring split-type air conditioners to the market in the shortest possible time.

Sales performance is good, and brand awareness is also high.

With these two points in place, the company's IPO will be a natural outcome.

Then came the share dilution, turning Carrier, the founder, into a minority shareholder and manager.

This is the overall plan.

Based on this, Lin Yi didn't take Carrier's sudden arrogance to heart at all.

After all, there will be a time when he calls me "Dad".

"Hehehe."

Carrier chuckled.

He took a puff of his cigar and said with a hint of disdain, "Lin, do you know what kind of companies need investment in the United States?"

"of course I know."

“Every business that needs to grow needs investment.”

"..."

Carrier understood the underlying meaning in Lin Yi's words.

Doesn't this mean that if Carrier refuses to invest, it will stop developing?

Damn it, this is a curse!

He cursed inwardly, then smiled contemptuously: "Lin, I think you don't know that Carrier Engineering is the most powerful air conditioner manufacturer in the entire United States."

"To be more precise, Carrier Engineering is also the world's most advanced air conditioning manufacturer."

"Our financial situation is good, and our orders are booked until this time next year."

"No investment is needed at all!"

"You know what? A lot of people on Wall Street wanted to invest in my company before, but I turned them all down!"

"Maybe you're very rich, but I'm sorry, I think you've come to the wrong place this time."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yi and smiled, "If you really want to invest in the United States, I sincerely suggest you go to the railroad company; they will definitely welcome you."

"After all, all Americans know that the best job for a yellow man like you is building railroads."

Lin Yi was stunned.

I can't understand what I did wrong to make this guy say such vicious things.

This is blatant racism!

Perhaps the investment from himself, an Asian, stimulated his distorted sense of superiority based on his skin color.

Since discrimination has already occurred, there is naturally no need to continue the discussion.

Lin Yi shook his head, got up and left.

The two were speaking in a bird language, and Ah Sheng, who was following closely behind, had no idea what they were talking about.

However, Thorson, the private detective who had accompanied Lin Yi and was very dutiful, looked extremely embarrassed.

Following Lin Yi out of Carrier's office, he took two quick steps and approached him: "Sir, the guy inside is just an isolated case; not all Americans are like that."

“I have many friends in Chinatown.”

"Torsen, thank you."

Lin Yi smiled at him and said as they walked, "I have a big business deal. Are you interested?"

"It's a pleasure to serve you."

"Continue the investigation into this engineering company."

"I need to know all the information about every shareholder and technical staff member."

"Okay, I'll get this done as quickly as possible."

Thorsen readily agreed.

They didn't even discuss the fees.

Although it was only his first time working with Lin Yi, he had already experienced the other party's generosity.

He initially only wanted two hundred dollars for this deal.

After all, his detective agency was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he was the only detective left.

The initial offer of one thousand was originally just to make myself look more like a famous detective, and to pave the way for the subsequent discounts.

To my surprise, the other party agreed immediately!

He hadn't encountered such a generous client in a long time.

"very good."

Lin Yi nodded and walked quickly.

"This is the first step. After you have all the information, please tell them that as long as they choose to leave Carrier, there will be a job with a salary that will at least double that of them."

"Ok sir."

Thorson grinned, his face crinkling with laughter. "Apart from that idiot from before, I believe no one can resist the temptation of money."

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Torson, you are very smart and you will definitely succeed in the future."

As for that big idiot Carrier, I'll show him what the power of capital is this time!
