Chapter 3682: Chapter 3674: Caught Off Guard

Sinus took a sip of coffee.

"How’s your situation going?"

"Actually, no one wants to short us," Fred said:

"So right now, we don’t have the trouble of stabilizing the stock market."

"This isn’t a problem for us either, and our stock price will continue to rise in the future, staying at a high level. Breaking 200 billion isn’t an issue."

"If that’s the case, it’s really a great thing. Congratulations," Fred said with a smile:

"We can also cooperate in this aspect in the future."

"That’s my idea too," Sinus said:

"We already hold some of TVB’s technology and have absorbed many engineers from Lingyun Group. In up to a year, we can develop high-process chips."

"We’re planning to invest in this project too, with deep cooperation on both sides. Through this opportunity, we can dominate the global market."

"I think the same; as long as we limit the use of DEA software, they won’t be able to design chips," Sinus said:

"We can even use this method to limit TVB, slow down their research progress, and buy us time."

"Your thoughts are similar to mine; by using DEA software, we can completely block Lingyun Group and limit TVB’s research speed, which is our strategy."

"Here’s to a successful cooperation."

The two raised their coffee cups in the air and took a gentle sip.

Their assistants were nearby, taking notes of the key points of their discussion.

They both anticipated that once announced to the public, the two companies’ stocks would rise significantly again.

For the two companies, it’s a win-win situation.

"Mr. Sinus, something interesting happened in the past few days, I assume you know, right?"

"Are you referring to the fruit manufacturer’s purchase of chips?"

"That’s right. Initially, I thought they wouldn’t sell chips, but I didn’t expect them to compromise so quickly. It seems the Yan Country people aren’t as resilient as imagined."

"Restricting their chip development poses the question of whether they can survive in the future. They will surely do whatever it takes to ensure their capital chain remains intact, and collaborating on both sides will even boost their reputation; there’s no reason not to cooperate."

"Treating them as opponents really seems like a waste of time."

"Who says otherwise."

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

At this moment, Sinus’ assistant’s phone rang.

The latter stepped into the distance to answer the call.

When he returned, his expression was particularly serious.

"Mr. Sinus, there’s a problem on the fruit side."

"What’s the matter?"

Sinus asked nonchalantly.

"The purchased chips were shipped back to their country, but encountered a shootout on the way, and the truck transporting the chips was caught in the crossfire, completely burned, with nothing left."

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this news, both their faces changed.

"Such a thing actually happened!"

"This incident has been confirmed; their 1.8 billion dollars went to waste."

"Isn’t it too coincidental? Normally, such a thing wouldn’t happen," Fred said with confusion.

"There’s definitely a conspiracy behind this!"

Sinus narrowed his eyes.

"They’re doing it on purpose!"

Both recalled their cooperation this time.

Fred said:

"No wonder the collaboration went so smoothly; they might have planned this from the beginning."

"Apart from the identity of Lingyun Group’s behind-the-scenes boss, he’s also from the Central Guards Brigade. It’s not surprising he can pull off such a thing."

"Isn’t he too bold!"

Fred remained very surprised, not believing Lin Yi dared to do such a thing.

"He’s always been bold; you just didn’t know,"

"It seems we’ve underestimated him,"

Fred narrowed his eyes and said:

"I think harsher methods need to be used to restrain them, not giving him any chance."

"This matter is just a minor episode, but it won’t affect us; I won’t give him such an opportunity either."

In Sinus’ view, as long as the EDA software is restricted, Lingyun Group won’t be able to engage in chip design work.

Main operations will be suspended entirely, and related upstream and downstream industries will also fall into stagnation.

This can fully strike their business.

It won’t be long before they exit the historical stage.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

At this moment, Fred’s assistant’s phone rang.

When he answered the phone, his face changed dramatically.

"Mr. Fred, Lingyun Group announced that they’ve acquired 10% of the group’s shares and have become the number one shareholder."

"What did you say! They’ve become our largest shareholder?!"

This news left both of them dumbfounded.

Even Sinus froze in his chair.

Unable to recover for a long time.

Bang!

Fred slammed the table, "This is impossible; how could such a massive acquisition escape my notice."

The furious Fred took out his phone and dialed the group’s people.

After making several calls, he returned to his seat in defeat.

"The news is true; Lingyun Group acquired 10% of the shares from over twenty shareholders and became our largest shareholder."

Sinus’ expression was incredibly dark.

He understood well the impact this would have.

With the support of DEA software, they’ll be unimpeded in the chip industry.

All his plans would go up in smoke.

All preparations at this moment turned into jokes.

"Bastard!"

Sinus slammed the table with his fist.

Someone’s borrowed a large amount of stock, preparing to short Kaijie Group.

Now that the news has spread, the group’s stock is bound to plunge.

This essentially means they’ve succeeded in shorting.

Sinus now understood everything was orchestrated by Lin Yi.

Ring ring ring—

Ring ring ring—

Ring ring ring—

The phones of four people rang in succession.

Each caller was inquiring about Lingyun Group’s acquisition of Synopsys.

Clearly, the news has already spread.

And this is just the beginning.

Sinus already foresees the potential stock drop.

He sat in his chair, appearing lethargic.

The method of shorting like this was something he never expected.

"Let’s end our discussion here today; I need to go handle company matters."

"Mr. Sinus, this matter is very important; if not handled well, both companies will be affected."

"You’d better focus on your own affairs; allowing such a thing to happen is your negligence!"

After scolding, Sinus left.

"Notify the group’s executives for a meeting, prepare the funds; whenever they sell, we’ll buy as much; we must stabilize the stock price."

"But the current stock price is already in a high state; the decline will be significant and may require huge funds," the assistant said.

"No matter how much it costs, we must stabilize the stock price!"

"Understood."
