“You’re right, but I think we can treat this as a signal.” Lin Yi said.
“Normally speaking, with my relationship with Lu Beichen, even if I die, no one would dare to have plans toward Lingyun Group. However, if these people want to join forces to attack Lu Beichen, the Lingyun Group will definitely become their target because Elder Lu can no longer restrict them.”
They were silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
“If they want to touch your Lingyun Group, the Wei and Zhu families can not do so by relying on their own capabilities. They have to join forces with other families. There will have to be at least ten families,” Ning Che said.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che hadn’t noticed it before, but now, they realized how terrifying Lin Yi’s behemoth was.
Whether they wanted to take him down or the Lingyun Group he founded, trying to do it alone was impossible.
They had to work together to have some hope.
“If that’s the case, the other families won’t be idle either,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“The semiconductor industry is the hottest sunrise industry right now. Many people are eyeing it greedily. If they can carve out a piece from Lingyun Group, it would immensely benefit their own family businesses. These wolves and tigers will certainly band together; no one wants to fall behind.”
“That depends on their stance toward Elder Lu.” Ning Che said.
“If they have designs on Elder Lu, they will definitely make a move on the Lingyun Group. If they don’t, everything will be fine. The Lingyun Group will be safe.”
Qiu Yuluo poured some water on herself and looked at Lin Yi.
“If the families associated with Team 4, all twenty-something of them, really make a move, do you think Lingyun Group can withstand it?”
“Definitely. We wouldn’t even need others. Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, and Tian Yan alone could handle them,” Lin Yi said confidently.
By “others,” Lin Yi was referring to Ji Qingyan.
Ji Qingyan’s business acumen far surpassed Qi Xianzhao’s. If those three joined forces, those clowns attempting to challenge Lingyun Group wouldn’t stand a chance.
The only entities capable of defeating them would be colossal giants like Poly and Huaxia Merchants Group, backed by national power for a dimensional strike. Otherwise, there was no domestic rival capable of posing a threat.
“Are you that confident?” Ning Che said with a smile.
“Of course. A portion of the shares of my photolithography research institute are owned by Huarun Group. If the matter really gets out of hand, Shen Shuyi will take action.”
“Shen Shuyi…”
At the mention of Shen Shuyi’s name, the two of them were filled with respect.
Although they worked in the Central Guards Brigade, the two of them were also involved in the family’s business and knew of Shen Shuyi.
She was extremely impressive.
In the business world, she was basically the ceiling for women.
“I forgot about this. President Shen is your future mother-in-law.”
“That’s true, but not many people know about her investing in the photolithography machine. Therefore, we can boldly test their attitude towards Elder Lu.”
“We can wait for news from the Lingyun Group, but we have to deal with the Zhou family as soon as possible.”
“Zhou Liang is gone. The Zhou family only has one company left. If they end up being used, I would have let Zhou Liang down.”
Lin Yi washed his face with water and sighed. “That’s what I was thinking as well.”
“Don’t be anxious. I’ve already contacted Fan Jiayi and asked her to send me the details of the project. We’ll know what’s going on later.”
Lin Yi nodded and stood up from the hot spring.
“Let’s go and find a place to drink.”
The two girls also stood up with Lin Yi, splashing a pool of water. Their fair thighs made it impossible for anyone to look away.
After leaving the hotel, the three of them found a roadside stall.
They ordered some barbecue and side dishes and prepared to drink more. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to sleep.
Just as the barbecue was served, Qiu Yuluo received a call from Fan Jiayi.
“The relevant information has been sent over.”
“What exactly happened?”
“They plan to partner up and build the largest water park in Terra in Zhonghai, with an investment of 48 billion.”
Qiu Yuluo said, chewing her food slowly.
“But there’s an interesting point: this water park also includes a private yacht business.”
“Private yacht business?” Ning Che put down her chopsticks. “Doesn’t Lingyun Group have Wangjiang Dock, which deals with exactly that and at a significant scale?
“Exactly, this is a signal that they want to swallow Lingyun Group,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“I bet these people have already met, otherwise they wouldn’t dare go after Lingyun Group’s business.”
The two nodded, and Ning Che said.
“What we know for sure now is that these families have joined forces. A major storm is definitely brewing.”
“Even though we’re certain, we still need to keep a close eye on Lingyun Group to further confirm this,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“But the most important thing right now is handling the Zhou family’s situation.”
Both women looked at Lin Yi, waiting for his opinion.
“This is simple. You can contact Liang Ruo Xu and explain the situation to her. One word from her can halt the project,” Lin Yi said.
“Then we just wait for the other side to take the bait.”
Halting the projects of a few companies would definitely provoke them.
They would investigate the cause, putting Lin Yi in a proactive position, allowing him to manipulate the situation according to his own strategy.
They drank until past ten that night, slightly tipsy, before returning to the hotel.
Before bed, Lin Yi called Qiao Xin to check on Li Chuhan. Finding everything in order, he slept peacefully.
As for contacting Liang Ruo Xu, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che handled it. Lin Yi didn’t need to worry.
The next morning, around eight, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were up, starting to deal with the matters of the three companies.
Liang Ruoxu’s actions were swift and effective. Half an hour after Qiu Yuluo’s call, she halted the projects of the three companies, leaving them no chance to proceed.
Chengdu Yuelai Hotel was the highest-class hotel in the area. It was slightly higher-class than Lin Yi’s Peninsula Hotel.
This was also the hotel that ordinary people most feared.
The per capita fee of 1,000 yuan was not something ordinary people could afford.
Yuelai Hotel, Room 302 measured about 30 square meters. It was not big, but it was abnormally stylish.
A young man sat in the private room, facing a large table of dishes. He did not say a word and his expression was ugly.
And this person was Zhou Xicheng’s nephew, Zhou Liang’s cousin, Zhou Yuan!
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and two young men entered.
“Old Zhou, why are you looking for us?”
