Shen Shuyi didnât care about words like âson-in-lawâ or âmother-in-lawâ.
Instead, she asked,
âWho do you think controls the future of the semiconductor industry?â
âThe younger generation. There is no doubt, it is in the hands of the younger generation.â
âWhere did this self-confidence come from?â
Lin Yi nodded and tilted his head to Shen Shuyiâs side.
âItâs been almost ten months since Director Shen returned. Guess how much money I spent on the photolithography machine?â
âHow much?â
â58.3 billion. Itâll cost me 200 million a day. Not a single cent is subsidized by the higher-ups.â Lin Yi smiled.
âAmong the people present, who would dare to squander resources like this? I donât even think they have so many assets. â
Shen Shuyi was shocked when she heard the figure of 58.3 billion.
She didnât expect ???????????? to invest so much money.
And most importantly, this was only throughout a ten-month investment.
She had no idea how much money he would burn in the future.
âWhen the photolithography machine project is made public, it will definitely bring you more than 58.3 billion yuan. It might even bring you ten times the return.â
âIf thereâs really such a high return, the people here would all rush to do it like mad dogs. When would I ever get the chance to do it?â Lin Yi said.
âIâm doing this out of my own interest. In laymanâs terms, itâs a passion project.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As he spoke, Lin Yi couldnât help but laugh. âAunt Shen, to be honest, if I had this mindset before developing the photolithography machine, I wouldnât have bothered with it. Itâs much more comfortable to keep harvesting profits repeatedly, crop after crop. Just the thought of it is exhilarating.â
âSo you feel that the future of semiconductors is in the hands of young people?â
âYouâre right. While capitalists talk about money, itâs only the âleeksOâ who talk about passion. But one day, when these âleeksâ have money, thatâs when passion will come into play.â
âAnd what will you do then?â
smiled and stretched out four fingers.
âUp until now, Iâve invested in more than 40 semiconductor-related companies. Although many of them ended up flopping, I believe that under the connection of the photolithography machine, half of these 40 companies will be able to soon stand strong. In less than ten years, the future of the semiconductor industry will be in my hands. Of course, if the powers to be crush me, I wonât live long. Just like Boss Ma, who a few days ago acted big but was immediately suppressed by the regulatory department.â
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment.
It wasnât that Lin Yiâs strategic vision was crazy, but that she had unknowingly been dragged into the trap.
Huaxia was a socialist country, and the will of the common people was the main focus.
Lin Yi had invested in so many companies, and with his strategic vision and the support of his subordinates, the lifeline of Huaxiaâs semiconductor industry was very likely to be in his hands.
However, monopolization was not feasible in Huaxia.
Despite this, this kid actually dragged her into this.
Huarun Group was a company with a state-owned background.
If ???? were to control it, people would accuse it of being a monopoly, but in her hands, this claim fell flat.
Therefore, as long as he did not court death, Lin Yiâs future would be smooth sailing.
Even if he didnât want to be the richest man, this crown might unknowingly land on his head.
âIâm guessing that in the future, you âIl arrange for Lingyun Group to be listed, but you wonât allow foreign investment.â
âAunt Shen is smart. Iâve prepared 30% of the shares for Huarun Group. I wonât take a single cent.â
Lin Yiâs words confirmed Shen Shuyiâs guess.
He gave the shares to Huarun Group because he wanted this umbrella.
At that time, no one would dare to touch him.
â30% is definitely not possible. 51% is more reasonable.â
Lin Yi shrugged. âl donât care. Itâs fine as long as we have different types of rights. I must still have the final say in the company.â
âYouâre really smart.â
âThank you for your compliment, Aunt Shen.â
Shen Shuyi sighed in her heart.
Lin Yiâs intelligence was greater better than Lin Jingzhanâs.
That silly girl, Ruoxu, would definitely not be able to win against him.
âWhen you go on stage later, go and say a few words. It might very well inspire the semiconductor industry.â
âIâm not going to enlighten them.â Lin Yi said.
âThe forty-odd companies I invested in are enough to inspire me for a while. If I inspire others, wonât I be training my own enemies? I canât let others become obstacles in my path to monopolization.â
âThatâs true. The photolithography machine project is too important. Your identity shouldnât be exposed too early. Itâs better to keep a low profile.â Shen Shuyi took off her coat. Lin Yi took the initiative to help her hang it on the chair behind her.
âBy the way, what did Director Shen say? When will we get another update?â
âItâll probably take a few more months. There are no major hurdles. However , at this stage, we can only catch up to the platform power level. It will take at least another two to three years to fully surpass it. â
âItâs enough to be able to follow the reviews. We wonât get choked by others, â Shen Shuyi said.
âBeing able to match the platform power level is sufficient, so at least we wonât be held back by others. But Iâm curious, how did you manage to get hold of the rights for global procurement? Even with shares in Intel and Cymer, itâs not an easy task,â said Shen Shuyi.
Lin Yi leaned close to Shen Shuyiâs ear and whispered for several minutes.
At first, Shen Shuyiâs expression remained calm, but after hearing Lin Yiâs description, her expression unexpectedly turned surprised.
âKid, youâre really a wild horse. How did you come up with so many ideas?â âAs long as your mind doesnât slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.â
Shen Shuyi smiled, appreciating Lin Yiâs intelligence.
If this continued, no one in Huaxia would dare to touch him in the future. Moreover, he had even joined the Central Guards Brigade, which could be considered a yardstick of extreme success.
If he ever did something out of line, he would die the most tragic death.
However, from the looks of the current situation, everything was developing in a good direction.
As the two of them chatted, the number of people in the venue gradually increased.
All the big shots were present.
Lin Yi glanced at the people sitting in the row. All of them were expressionless and had a strong aura.
Lin Yi felt that these peopleâs statuses were almost comparable to Shen Shuyi and the Liang family.
âIn situations like this, donât look around casually. Maintain a proper demeanor,â Shen Shuyi said.
Lin Yi reluctantly sat back down.
âThese people are far behind Shen Shuyi in terms of appearance. Whatâs with their looks? Each one of them looks like theyâre wearing masks of agony,â he muttered.
âIâm already in my fifties. Stop bluffing me.â
âIâm not bluffing,â Lin Yi said.
âLook at these people sitting in the first row. All of them look like their family members have just died. They have such moody faces. If I didnât know better Iâd think they were here to visit a grave.â
âEven if itâs a grave visit, it will be yours theyâre visiting.â âHuh? I missed the part where Iâm the one in trouble.â
Shen Shuyi looked around.
âExcluding ourselves, there are a total of 21 chairs in the first row. Fifteen of those seats are occupied by people from the courtyard, and 13 of them have sons that were beaten up by you a few nights ago. Do you think they will be happy?â
