Protagonist:

Lin Yi

Hiss—

The sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed in the room; Lei Jun and the other two stared with eyes wide as saucers, as if they had heard some terrifying news.

Sichuan Mahjong missing one suit uses only Characters, Dots, and Bamboos, totaling 108 tiles, with no Red Dragon, White Dragon, or East/South/West/North Winds.

Low-level players just grab tiles and play randomly, winning by chaotic luck.

Mid-level players know to calculate opponents' hands, able to guess what tiles the other side holds through the various tiles they discard.

High-level players cheat.

No matter which level of player, none have ever heard of someone able to memorize the positions of all 108 tiles.

Because this simply cannot be done.

"How do you know?" Lin Bin was the first to snap out of his daze, tilting his head to look at Zhao Ming.

At this moment Zhao Ming was rubbing his temples with both hands, eyes full of fatigue, looking like he had overused his brain.

Hearing the question, he lifted an eyelid: "In the fourth round I kept feeding him tiles; that 8 of Characters I held from start to finish."

After saying this, he did not continue explaining, but raised his eyes, casting a questioning glance at Lei Jun.

Receiving this look, Lei Jun gave a slight nod:

"I've already finalized things with him. Zhao Ming, you take two people, move an office computer over to Room 804, Sheng Hao Hotel, Zhongguancun, in a bit."

"He'll give us a startup proposal."

"Then there's Lin Bin, you get the funds ready these two days. The proposal should arrive Sunday; once it passes review, you go arrange the transfer Monday, then head to Gusu."

"Ensure fund safety, and also probe his background."

Having arranged the two's work, Lei Jun turned back, clapped his hands once toward the dozen-plus people looking at him, pulling everyone's attention to himself:

"Everyone, I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news to tell you."

"The good news is this person who suddenly appeared, the proposal he brought, might solve our confusion and let us walk our own path."

"The bad news is, he might be setting a trap for us, and our workload will increase, we'll get even busier."

"So, I'm declaring two days off."

"Everyone go back and rest well. Two days later, when that young man brings the proposal back, we'll analyze his proposal together, word by word."

"Now, off work!"

Finishing what he wanted to say, Lei Jun waved a big hand at Zhao Ming and the others: "Let's go, play Mahjong."

On the streets of Zhongguancun, Lin Yi held a cup of milk tea in his left hand, a beef burger in his right, humming a tune, hopping and skipping toward Sheng Hao Hotel.

Back in the room, he drank the milk tea, finished the beef burger, executed a beautiful carp-flip, and threw himself onto the bed.

This trip to borrow money went even more smoothly than he had imagined.

So smoothly he himself couldn't believe it.

Rolling around on the bed a few times, Lin Yi climbed up again, sat at the desk, pulled a notebook from the luggage he carried, and began planning the so-called startup proposal.

This busy spell lasted until dinnertime.

Just as he was preparing to go downstairs to eat, the hotel room door was knocked from outside, followed immediately by a familiar voice.

It was Zhao Ming.

The door opened; Zhao Ming and his people carried a desktop computer into the room, quickly set it up, drank the hot water Lin Yi handed over, nodded, and turned to leave.

The whole process not a word spoken, not a word asked.

Looking at the booting computer, Lin Yi sighed inwardly, picked up the hotel phone to call the front desk, asked them to send up a meal, turned and sat back at the computer, and started working.

Two days passed in a flash; staring wide-eyed, after checking the text and punctuation errors in the document, Lin Yi finally saved the file, then dragged it into a U disk.

Two U disks.

One copy each, top and bottom.

Stuffing the U disks into his pocket, Lin Yi then walked into the bathroom, began tidying his personal appearance.

Ten-odd minutes later, an elegant, handsome young science-and-engineering boss walked out of the bathroom, picked up the leather briefcase placed on the bed, stepped into his leather shoes, and walked out of the room in a leisurely, unhurried manner.

Yingu Building.

Lei Jun was pacing nonstop in his office, circling back and forth, turning until Lin Bin beside him had a splitting headache:

"President Lei, the money hasn't even been paid out yet, what are you panicking for?"

"If anyone should panic, it's him!"

At this remark, Lei Jun stopped, rolled his eyes, then took a few steps to stand before Lin Bin:

"You don't know, on October 30th the Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext officially opens."

"In just these few days, quite a few high-tech enterprises have already gone up."

"And going forward, national policy will tilt toward the sci-tech innovation sector."

"The earlier we get the proposal, the earlier we research it thoroughly, the earlier we can list."

Hearing this, Lin Bin touched his nose and countered: "Aren't you the one who wants to go ring the bell at Nasdaq?"

"……" Lei Jun didn't want to speak, simultaneously shooting back a white-eye.

Right then, the door was pushed open from outside; Zhao Ming poked his head in at the doorway:

"Mr. Lin has arrived, in the Guest Room."

"I'm coming right now!" Hearing the person had come, Lei Jun shook off the anxiety on his face, straightened his body ramrod straight, tugged lightly at his suit collar, adjusted his tie, shot a meaningful look at Lin Bin, then strode out of the office with head high and chest out.

In the guest room, Lin Yi held a teacup with both hands, a smile on his face as he stood behind Chen Kai, watching him open the file on the U disk.

At this moment, Lei Jun walked in with people; Lin Yi turned his gaze, nodding like an old friend, then his gaze returned to the computer monitor.

Lei Jun walked calmly to behind Chen Kai, nodding to Lin Yi with a calm face, his gaze also falling on the computer monitor.

Immediately he saw the file name displayed on the computer monitor.

【Competitors are idiots, but oneself is even more of an idiot!】

Hiss—

He sucked in a breath of cold air, turned his head, blinked at Lin Yi, using his eyes to ask: What do you mean?

Lin Yi understood the meaning in his eyes, slowly sipped a mouthful of tea, and replied:

"A few days ago I already told you, right now we are at a high-speed development wind vent; at this wind vent, even pigs can fly."

"At this wind vent, one needs to not make mistakes oneself, then wait for competitors to make mistakes."

"So we must treat ourselves as idiots first."

"The specific content is all inside; this U disk contains the first half, the second half, to be continued."

Hiss—

Lei Jun wanted to curse, really wanted to curse.

But he still forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stood behind Chen Kai, and read the planning case bit by bit.

The planning case had no common market analysis, only one road after another, one road after another that must be walked.

System software, mobile phone hardware, supply chain, constraints and counter-constraints, peer poaching recommendations, peer marketing.

In this series of things, he saw a person's name.

Jin Fan.

This name was highlighted in red bold font, followed by several large red exclamation marks.

After the exclamation marks, these few red words.

(This person does not listen to advice, absolutely cannot be kept; see him then kill!)

Reading this sentence twice in his heart, Lei Jun's eyeballs quietly turned back, quietly looked at Lin Yi, and simultaneously made up his mind in his heart.

A person Lin Yi singled out for annotation absolutely has extraordinary qualities.

Must fish him into hand to take a look.
