Protagonist:

Lin Yi

When Lin Yi walked out of the factory, the sky had completely brightened; sunlight filtered through the clouds, leaving only a faint glow, but there was finally sunlight.

After returning to the Finance Room to brief Ji Shuangshuang on the work, Lin Yu turned around and drove his old Santana toward the Economic Investigation Brigade.

There is a saying: strike while the iron is hot; and another: cut the grass and remove the roots.

Several old-timers had been detained, so the work of those little guys also needed to be properly handled for them.

Besides that, production of the Gas Canister Mortar had to be arranged, along with going to Miles Company to demand money, and stabbing them in the back on the way.

Some news from his previous life could now be brought out to ruthlessly kill those guys.

After all, that was a human life lawsuit!

He only needed to start a team fight, and nature's excellent matching mechanism would naturally match him with teammates capable of charging into battle.

On the other side, back in Yanjing, Lin Bin, who had been busy all night, finally finished organizing the materials he had obtained in Gusu during this period, and delivered the complete materials into Lei Jun's hands.

"Roughly as you guessed, our General Manager Lin should have participated in some special plan, and then acted outside as an executor of that plan."

"Once this point is clarified, the parts of these materials that are not easy to understand become easy to understand."

Lei Jun took the materials, glanced lightly at Lin Bin, turned his head and focused his attention on the materials; regarding Lin Yi's identity, he had made many guesses.

A young master of some family.

An executor of some department's special mission.

An executor of some plan.

Among these guesses, he was more inclined to believe Lin Yi was the heir of some wealthy local family, coming to borrow money from him was merely a test by that wealthy family; once the test was passed, he could obtain a portion of the Inheritance Right, and then start his own business.

Only in this way could it explain why Lin Yi could guess his entrepreneurial intentions and point out problems that might exist in the entrepreneurial process.

If it were a state department, their way of thinking would be different, and naturally they could not see the problems so clearly.

His finger turned over the pages of the File; looking at those lines of text, Lei Jun raised his eye, looked at Lin Bin, and asked with a stern face:

"Are you sure these materials are real?"

"There are photos; how could they be fake?" Facing Lei Jun's questioning, Lin Bin rolled his eyes, opened the File, flipped to the color Printout photos, tapped them hard, then picked up a dv machine beside him and placed it in front of Lei Jun:

"There are videos here too!"

While Lei Jun picked up the dv machine to watch the videos, Lin Bin sat beside him and added:

"Look at these construction workers in the video."

"Working 24 hours a day in three shifts, each shift working 8 hours, getting off work exactly on time, and lining up neatly to get off work; every step they take is neither more nor less, about 70 centimeters."

"If it weren't for these people lining up to go to the canteen to eat, sleep, and rest, I would suspect these people are robots."

"Construction workers like this, who do you think can afford them?"

"Can you afford them?"

"Can't afford them!" Lin Bin asked and answered himself, asked a question, then answered the question.

Lei Jun opposite was thinking; just as he opened his mouth to speak, Lin Bin raised his hand again to interrupt him, switching the video playback to the next scene.

"Come look at these equipment."

"Although it's just basic equipment for producing Electric Rice Cookers, hair dryers, and electric fans, look at the quality."

"These are all brand-new equipment, all brand-new semi-automatic assembly lines; such assembly lines look unremarkable, but a whole set costs at least ten or twenty million."

"He produces three products here, each product has a total of two production lines, totaling 6 production lines; these six production lines cost at least over a hundred million in Funds."

"Besides these production lines, there are also those two factories under construction."

"One is said to be used for producing mobile phones, and the other seems to be a special steel processing factory."

"Two factories plus production line investment, at least 2 billion as a baseline."

"Who do you think would be willing to invest so much Funds?"

"Don't tell me it's those capitalists; you and I are both capitalists; do you think we two would give that much money to a stranger under uncertain prospects?"

"Back then you thought he had a promising future, thought you could mentor him."

"Now it's fine; we are the ones being mentored!"

One question after another completely confused Lei Jun; he held the File and started flipping through it from the beginning again.

After flipping for a while, he placed the File on the table and shook his head slightly:

"I might invest a few tens of millions, but definitely not that much."

"So, we can basically determine that our General Manager Lin should be an executor of some plan."

"Because the plan is special, that's why he came to us to borrow money, using it as cover; if something happens later, he can have an excuse to explain the source of Funds."

"From the national level perspective, we will recognize it; others can't find more information, so naturally they will go by the information he provides."

"Quite a clever method; just don't know how he makes money."

Before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye he saw Lin Bin reach his hand toward the File; under Lin Bin's puzzled gaze, Lin Bin flipped the File to the last page, pointing at the photos and text above and said:

"This is also the place I can't figure out the most."

"The Middle East is not a traditional stewing area; plus electricity is limited, so the Electric Pressure Cooker thing should be something usable but not very useful."

"But Lin Yi insisted on selling this thing to the Arabs, and sold it for over 68 million RMB."

"This is very puzzling."

"It's just a pity that I couldn't go with them during the negotiation; otherwise I could hear what they said."

"However, Lin Yi's transaction this time has given us a reminder: some things that look useless in certain places may just be because that thing doesn't fit the local conditions; if we achieve that fit, perhaps we can make a fortune like him."

Along with Lin Bin's words, Lei Jun's attention also fell on the photos behind the file.

The photos were varied: there were photos of Lin Yi's booth on site, appearance pictures of the electric pressure cooker, and screenshots of an online bank account interface.

Every single photo was proving to Lei Jun that the young man named Lin Yi had, in an extremely short time, found the users his product needed, and then made a sum of money.

Over 68 million; after deducting costs and tax revenue, the other party should be able to earn around 5 million.

The figure of 5 million is not very large to him now, but the problem lies in that these 5 million are the very first step of a journey of a thousand miles.

Only by taking the 1st step can there be the 2nd step, the 3rd step, and even ten thousand steps, a hundred thousand steps.

And up to now, his Xiaomi Technology still hasn't been formally listed, and hasn't begun formal operations.

A journey of a thousand miles — still hasn't taken the 1st step.

How could he have made money then?

Could it be that he really has to return that bill with six 8's?

No way!

In order not to lose, Lei Jun began to review what Lin Bin had just said, chewing over these words; he raised his head, looking at Lin Bin with a blazing gaze:

"So what do you think we should do?"
