Chapter 228

At this, Lin Yi and Hu Run shook hands.

"I am Lin Yi, CEO of Fengyi Technology; very pleased to meet you, Mr. Hu Run!"

Then he nodded to the young man from Long Country.

"Please sit. Xiao Tang, go brew two cups of coffee!"

"Yes, Lin Zong!"

Tang Tang Chuyu nodded, then trotted off to make the coffee.

After a short wait, Tang Tang Chuyu brought the two cups of coffee, then left the office.

Hu Run smiled and said:

"I apologize for intruding on your work, Mr. Lin!"

Clearly, this foreigner was well-versed in Long Country.

His manner of speaking differed little from that of a native.

"No problem!"

Lin Yi smiled, then said:

"Can we begin now?"

"Of course!" Hu Run replied.

Meanwhile, the young man from Long Country was already setting up his professional camera.

At that moment, upon returning to the secretariat, Tang Tang Chuyu exclaimed excitedly:

"Sister Bai, Hu Run is here to interview the Big Boss!"

"Mm!"

Bai Bai Jie showed no surprise; after all, she had handled the arrangements for this interview herself.

"Actually, the interview was supposed to happen yesterday, but the Chairman was busy, so it was postponed by a day!"

Then, looking at Tang Tang Chuyu, she smiled and said:

[22] "It's just Hu Run. Why are you so excited, Xiao Yu?"

"It's just Hu Run! Why are you so agitated, Xiaoyu!"

"But it's Hu Run! His exclusive interview means our boss is going to make the Hurun List, doesn't it?"

Tang Tang Chuyu said excitedly.

"Isn't that only natural? Or do you think our Big Boss isn't worthy of making that list?"

Bai Bai Jie asked.

"That's true. Our company makes so much money; both batteries and carbon fiber are in short supply."

"Director Yang worries about production capacity every single day!"

Tang Tang Chuyu sighed.

Come to think of it, when she first joined Fengyi Technology, the company was already expanding aggressively.

In a short time, the number of employees had reached three thousand.

Yet she had only been with the company for about a month, and now it had grown into a large enterprise with nearly five thousand employees.

Including the battery production lines, expansion had occurred again and again.

The trucks coming daily to pick up goods could form a line stretching a mile.

And they came one after another.

Besides that, the company was now expanding its overseas exports.

It had already established cooperation with many countries.

Future profits of the company would increase substantially.

If that were the case, and Lin Yi, as the company's boss, still failed to make the Hurun List,

it could only mean there was something wrong with the list itself.

"Bai Bai Jie, if the Big Boss makes the list, where do you think he'll rank?"

Tang Tang Chuyu asked.

Bai Bai Jie put down her work, thought for a moment, and said:

"It shouldn't be low, but since our company isn't publicly listed, we certainly can't achieve valuations like Tencent or Alibaba!"

"I really want to know what the number will be!"

Tang Tang Chuyu murmured.

Meanwhile, in the office, Hu Run's exclusive interview had long since begun.

"...Mr. Lin, I understand the questions asked earlier, but could you tell us how you earned your first pot of gold when founding Fengyi Technology?"

Lin Yi already had a prepared answer for this.

"Actually, as I mentioned just now, I grew up in a mountain village in your province.

Although the scenery there is beautiful, every household in the village was poor, living in hardship.

So, from a young Stone Stone Stone Stone Age, I dreamed of leaving the mountains, seeing the outside world, earning money, earning a lot of money...

Fortunately, through studying, I made it to the great metropolis of Modu, and while at school..."

Lin Yi recounted how he had set up a small stall in his dormitory, boiling tea eggs in a rice cooker to sell,

and spoke about such part-time ventures.

Hu Run took notes with his pen.

He had interviewed many business tycoons before.

But he rarely encountered someone like Lin Yi, who had truly started from nothing.

Although many business tycoons in Long Country appear to have started from nothing,

But if you were to ask what the parents of these big shots did for a living,

I suspect many people would fall silent.

It is not that there are no people like Lin Yi, who succeeded entirely through their own abilities,

but such cases are truly rare.

"I handed out flyers, made milk tea at a milk tea shop, and worked as a food runner in a restaurant.

I held more than ten different jobs in total before finally saving up a sum of money, which I then invested in the US stock market...

Perhaps I was just lucky, as I made a huge fortune...."

"So, Mr. Lin, your first pot of gold came from the stock market, is that correct?"

Hu Run asked.

"That's right; I made several tens of millions of Chinese yuan in total...." Lin Yi said.

In reality, regarding the first pot of gold, the System had already plugged every possible loophole for suspicion.

Moreover, Lin Yi had indeed dabbled in stocks for a while during his sophomore year of university,

but later, feeling the risk was too great, he took a small profit and decisively withdrew.

All of this is a matter of record.

"Hmm, that is quite a substantial sum; I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be such a financial expert.

On a side note, Mr. Lin, do you still trade stocks?"

Hu Run asked with a smile.

"I have already withdrawn; I have always felt that speculation is bad, as the ups and downs of the stock market are just like gambling.

When you are lucky, you might make a lot of money, but even if you master all theoretical knowledge thoroughly,

it is impossible to remain lucky forever...

So I resolutely exited the stock market and used that money to establish the current Fengyi Technology...."

"This reminds me of 'The Autobiography of John D. Rockefeller' that I read; he said he did not engage in speculation, but earned money honestly and spent it honestly!"

Hu Run said.

"Clearly, Mr. Lin possesses wisdom comparable to Mr. Rockefeller,

otherwise, we might never have seen an enterprise like Fengyi Technology."

Then, he asked again:

"Why did Mr. Lin choose to enter high-tech industries like batteries and carbon fiber? You should also be aware that in the current entrepreneurial environment of Dragon Country,

out of every 100 entrepreneurs, at least 80 are involved with the internet...

For someone like Mr. Lin Yi to enter the high-tech physical industry right from the start of his venture is almost unheard of!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi replied:
