Chapter 2581: Chapter 2582: Creepy Smile

The bidding meeting has started, and the Vice President of Chaoyang Group, Zheng Jie, approached.

“Director Lin, is our bid still at 8.6 billion?”

Zheng Jie felt that there was still some hope in this bid.

He thought Lin Yi, who has been rooted in Zhong Hai for many years, couldn’t be affected immediately just by changing people.

If successful, the price of 8.6 billion would leave no profit at all.

“No change, just bid at this price.”

“Understood.”

Zheng Jie, carrying paper and electronic versions of the bid documents, headed towards the bidding room inside.

The bidding officially commenced, and the spectators gathered together, waiting for the results.

Lin Yi stood in the corner with some acquaintances, many did not notice the striking young man not far away was the actual controller behind Lingyun Group.

As the bidding began, those sitting outside became restless.

Yisheng Group’s people sat on the other side, deliberately distancing themselves from Lin Yi and others.

“President Zhao, you look radiant; you must have come prepared this time.”

He Yuanyuan glanced at the speaker and found it was a middle-aged man in his fifties, furrowing her brows.

“He’s the former president of Shangping Era, named Long Shangping, he’s in the battery business.”

“Sounds somewhat familiar.” Lin Yi murmured.

“Previously discussed investment matters with President Tian, I was involved too.”

“Invested?” Lin Yi looked at Yan Ci and asked.

“Invested 80 million, the return rate was pretty good.” Tian Yan shrugged and said:

“But judging by this situation, it seems he’s ready to start anew.”

“It’s normal operations; people die for wealth and birds for food. Once in this industry, talking about ethics and morality becomes naive.”

Lin Yi was open-minded; such matters didn’t affect him at all.

Apart from Long Shangping, several others gathered beside Zhao Rongyi.

The latter graciously greeted everyone with handshakes, displaying extreme politeness.

“It’s not necessarily coming prepared. After all, it’s an open bidding, any company can participate.” Zhao Rongyi said:

“Our Yisheng Group has been deeply involved in the real estate industry for nearly twenty years. With such a good project in Zhong Hai, we certainly have to participate. As for whether we can win, we don’t know. We’re just playing along.”

“President Zhao, you’re too modest, clearly this is a sure thing, don’t be too low-key.” Long Shangping laughed and said:

“Once the bidding is over, I’ll set up a table, let’s have a drink together and strive for more cooperation in the future.”

“No problem, I was thinking the same, haha…”

Zhao Rongyi’s voice was loud, as if speaking for Lin Yi to hear.

Instead, Lin Yi was indifferent and started playing a game.

After greetings, Long Shangping and others left, and Yisheng Group’s members gathered again.

“President Zhao, I heard Lingyun Group over there started a price war, bidding at 8.6 billion, a full 900 million less than ours!” the female secretary whispered.

“8.6 billion?”

Zhao Rongyi squinted, “They really dare to bid, this price may not even recover the costs.”

“Barely scraping by, they’re aware of their disadvantage, so they lay down the cultivation method regarding the price.”

“It’s not necessarily the lowest bid principle. Even if they lowered the price to 8.6 billion, it won’t help. This bid is definitely ours, relax.”

The female secretary nodded, looking relaxed, confident in this bid.

Besides, on the other side, the spectators started discussing.

“What do you think of this bid? Does Lingyun Group still have a chance?”

“I feel it doesn’t look good for them, otherwise they wouldn’t need a second bidding. What they want, no one dares to take.”

“Maybe they’ve overestimated themselves and didn’t prepare the bid documents well?”

“Too young, limited perspective.” Long Shangping said:

“Given Master Lin’s influence and status in Zhong Hai, even if his bid documents have issues, or even without bid documents, if he wants to do this project, no one would dare to say anything more. There’s no need for such trouble as now.”

“I agree with Chairman Long.” Another bald man stepped forward and said:

“At Master Lin’s level, bidding is just a formality. Now suddenly Yisheng Group emerges and even calls for a second bidding. Frankly, it’s just giving them ample time to prepare documents, so I think Lingyun Group is out of luck.”

“What you all said makes sense, but I think Director Lin wouldn’t give up easily, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come personally.”

“Haha, don’t worry, once the bidding results come out, everything will be clear.”

About half an hour later, the people responsible for the bids from the two companies came out, each returning to their camps.

“Boss Zheng, how are things inside?” Tian Yan asked.

“Their bid is 900 million higher than ours, which is an advantage. It can earn back a lot of points.”

“That’s great.”

Tian Yan’s gloomy mood lifted, so did He Yuanyuan’s.

But the next moment, she looked at Lin Yi and found his expression unchanged.

As if this matter had nothing to do with him.

This expression was also noticed by others; their excited emotions vanished and the tension entwined their hearts again.

Another long hour passed, and the broadcast sounded again.

Notifying the people from the two companies to enter, the evaluation work was completed, ready to announce the results.

The bid managers went in again, while those outside stared at the big screen, the results would appear here shortly.

The atmosphere on site grew increasingly tense, everyone was focused!

“Yisheng Group won!”

Ten minutes later, a scream broke the silence, but didn’t stir much of a ripple.

It was an expected outcome; if they didn’t win, it would be surprising.

Seeing the bid results, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Rongyi’s mouth, full of smugness.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze, intentionally or otherwise, fell towards Lin Yi’s side.

This result marked the end of an era.

Master Lin, once invincible, was stepping down from his pedestal. The world would belong to Yisheng Group next.

After the win, Zhao Rongyi couldn’t wait to approach Lin Yi.

“I thought you’d pose some obstacle for me, but a nearly hundred billion bid ended in less than two hours, which I didn’t expect. I never had such ease when bidding those tens of millions.”

“President Zhao is impressive.” Lin Yi smiled and said.

He Yuanyuan shivered and got goosebumps.

She knew Lin Yi too well; his smile was too meaningful, yet Zhao Rongyi hadn’t realized!

“Since you’ve said so, I’ll give you some advice as someone with experience.”

Zhao Rongyi’s tone suddenly turned cold.

“You’re merely a product of the times, not creating this era. But now, you’re done. In the future, we’ll play slowly, I’ll make your life miserable!”
