Perhaps we might even collaborate in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Yi thought to himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You are an investor; what possibility for collaboration is there between your internet live-streaming business and my manufacturing enterprise?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, unless your father personally steps in, with that meager amount of money you have, he, Lin Yi, truly does not look highly upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just considering his current overseas assets exceeding ten billion US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In terms of liquid cash, even the entire Wanda Group might not be able to produce such an amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, as the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since the other party was so enthusiastic, expressing both admiration and a desire to cooperate,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Yi nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then let's exchange contact information; when I have time, I will introduce some friends to you, President Lin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Wang Shicong said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright!\" Lin Yi did not object.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he now possessed some government background,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>expanding his network of connections would\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>do him no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He could not possibly call Secretary Wang or Vice Mayor Zhou every time some trivial matter arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doing so would make him appear far too incapable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, the two exchanged WeChat contacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Yi then directly took the elevator and went home.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who was that man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirley, the beauty beside Wang Wang Shicong, asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Shirley could be considered a first-generation internet celebrity, possessing a stunningly beautiful appearance,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>and Wang Wang Shicong happened to favor exactly this type.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their romance in Sydney this year had sparked widespread attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From the very beginning, Shirley had been sizing up Lin Yi; he was somewhat handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the very least, he was far more handsome than her boyfriend, Wang Wang Shicong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Wang Shicong's looks were merely average, leaning toward below average.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, to Shirley, that was all that mattered,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>because she did not know Lin Yi's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This brother is quite extraordinary; he is still a university student, much younger than me,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>yet the enterprise he founded has attracted deep attention from the higher-ups,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>moreover, this fellow has rejected numerous venture capital firms, including some international giants,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>such as Sequoia Capital and Hillhouse Capital,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>if this brother were willing to let these venture firms invest, his company would be valued at least in the tens of billions...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Wang Shicong remarked with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So... formidable!\" Shirley was also startled by what her boyfriend said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To think that a student who had not yet graduated from university had directly created a company with assets starting in the tens of billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such a person was probably comparable to Bill Gates of Microsoft.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Exactly, I was also shocked after investigating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Wang Shicong continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My father always says at home that the friends I keep are all bad companions and fair-weather friends; now that I have met Lin Yi, let's see what he has to say then, hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this, Shirley also smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, it was obvious that this woman had certainly taken note of Lin Yi in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Yi naturally knew nothing of their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for Wang Wang Shicong, he did not care too much about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He regarded it merely as a small interlude;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>if it were Old Wang, he estimated he would treat the matter seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, that man was currently the wealthiest Chinese person and the business leader of Dragon Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Lin Yi felt that his future self would certainly surpass the other, at the present stage, the other was still Dragon Country's undisputed number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, Lin Yi did not possess foresight at this time; he could not possibly know that Wanda would suffer a catastrophic collapse in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Old Wang frantically sold off assets to repay debts, causing his net worth to shrink drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon returning home, he turned on the television.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Yi cooked a bowl of instant noodles for himself and began watching the 100-inch large TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Accompanied by a familiar melody, CCTV-1 began broadcasting the \"Xinwen Xinwen Lianbo\" news program.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the format of \"Xinwen Xinwen Lianbo\" basically consisted of the first ten minutes discussing how busy the leaders were,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the middle ten minutes depicting how happy Dragon Country was, and the last ten minutes showing how chaotic foreign countries were.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reality indeed matched this, at least regarding international news.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The news reported that the United States had launched an air raid on the capital of Syria using two aircraft carriers and F\u002FA-18E\u002FF fighter jets firing depleted uranium munitions, targeting forces such as the Houthi armed group in Yemen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This air raid had caused a severe disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At least a hundred Syrian civilians lost their lives in this airstrike.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Ugly Nation's spokesperson, however, stated this was retaliation for Syria's recent attack on Ugly Nation bases.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In response, Syria lodged a severe protest and accused the Ugly Nation of atrocities before the Lianheguo Assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They exposed the Ugly Nation's heinous acts of massacring civilians with depleted uranium shells and stealing oil resources within Syrian territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, the Ugly Nation's representative walked out directly, utterly unwilling to listen to Syria's speech, carrying their arrogance to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Yi did not know that the Syrian side had also been enraged by the Ugly Nation's atrocities at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>and that depleted uranium shells had actually been used against Syria due to the previous incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>(PS: For this new book, I beg for flowers, tips, and review votes; your support is the author's motivation!)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People mine uranium-bearing ores from nature and, through steps such as crushing, leaching, and precipitation, extract uranium concentrate, known as \"yellowcake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then, the yellowcake is heated and reduced to uranium trioxide, which reacts with hydrofluoric acid to produce uranium hexafluoride, a volatile solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Next, it is separated into enriched uranium and depleted uranium.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Enriched uranium contains a higher proportion of uranium-235 and can be used to manufacture nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Depleted uranium contains a lower proportion of uranium-235; it has weaker radioactivity but higher density.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, the depleted uranium is converted into metallic uranium or alloys, then forged and machined to produce depleted uranium warheads.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although depleted uranium has far lower radioactivity than enriched uranium, it still possesses certain radioactivity and chemical toxicity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When a depleted uranium projectile strikes a target, the resulting high temperature and pressure melt the warhead and splash it into microscopic particles, forming a depleted uranium aerosol.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These aerosols disperse with the wind into the surrounding air, water sources, and soil, causing long-term harm to living organisms.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Depleted uranium aerosols can enter the human body through breathing, food, or skin contact, damaging organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, bones, and brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Depleted uranium also damages the human immune system and genetic material, leading to severe consequences such as cancer, birth defects, and miscarriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, the Ugly Army used approximately 300 tons of depleted uranium munitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the war, the incidence of leukemia and birth defects in Iraq increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even soldiers of the Ugly Army developed many mysterious illnesses,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>known as \"Gulf War Syndrome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the 1999 war against Kosovo, North Yue used approximately 30,000 rounds of depleted uranium munitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the war, cancer mortality rates in Kosovo and the Balkan region also rose markedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>During the 2003 Iraq War, the Ugly Army again used approximately 1,000 tons of depleted uranium munitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the war, the number of cancer patients in Basra, a city in southern Iraq, increased tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 ·Seeking flowers·· ·····\u003C\u002Fp>",1260,"2026-06-16T04:12:22.327Z","2026-06-17T08:50:51.634Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","28d0755b42a11e7d4b3e436401a30862b18ec0aa192d44fc2d809ccfdbeb47bb","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-106","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-104",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
