Chapter 383: Chapter 383

Thinking this way, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel excited.

Then he didn’t care what Li Huiqun was saying or where he was, he just started checking the progress in his mind.

[Task completion: 7403548630/7500000000.]

Seeing this, Lin Yi almost choked on the soup in his mouth.

Am I just this close?

This is really frustrating, just 90 million USD short of completing the task, this feeling is a bit upsetting.

"Cough cough, see if there’s anyone who hasn’t paid yet, try to get another 100 million by tonight!"

He casually grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth and turned his gaze to Li Huiqun, saying.

But upon hearing this, Li Huiqun’s previously excited expression froze.

Only after a long while did he speak:

"Boss, you told us not to force them, didn’t you? I’ve been following your instructions strictly. For those who are still hesitating, I haven’t even glanced at them, just like you said."

Hearing these words, Lin Yi felt even more blocked in his heart.

Alright, so in the end, it’s my own fault!!

I really jinxed it, saying that back then. Without those words, as long as Li Huiqun put in some effort, this system task would have been completed by now.

Originally, Lin Yi thought of calling home, asking them to ship some goods abroad in advance, to quickly bring in an extra 100 million USD.

But after a bit of thought, Lin Yi gave up on that idea.

Doing so without any reason might be misunderstood by some people.

This could potentially affect the sales network of the entire Nuclear Group.

Oh well, never mind. Anyway, Li Huiqun will definitely secure some collaborations tomorrow, and this less than a billion dollars shouldn’t be too hard to achieve, right?

Thinking this, Lin Yi felt a bit relieved.

Suppressing the intensely uncomfortable feeling, Lin Yi had Li Huiqun book him a plane ticket back home for tomorrow.

After all, the matters here were already wrapped up, and he came mainly to attend that exchange meeting and show his face.

The following business can be fully handled by Li Huiqun.

After dinner and a brief chat with the ambassador about heading back tomorrow, he returned to his room to rest.

But lying in bed, he just couldn’t fall asleep.

Seeing that the task progress bar had reached the critical point but was stagnant, isn’t it frustrating?

Just as Lin Yi was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his phone suddenly rang nearby.

He absentmindedly picked it up, only to find it was an unfamiliar international number.

He casually answered and said:

"Anyeonghaseyo! I’m deeply sorry for disturbing Lin Yi’s rest so late at night!"

Hearing the somewhat stiff Mandarin from the other side, Lin Yi was taken aback, then asked with some confusion:

Upon hearing this, the other side was obviously stunned, feeling furious inside, but wanting to continue cooperation, he replied with a smile:

"Yes, Mr. Lin Yi, I am Park Toju, the chairman of Hyundai, I look forward to working with you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was a bit puzzled. Aren’t Koreans known for their pride?

After saying this about them, this guy wasn’t angry?

Of course, although he looked down on these guys, Lin Yi still asked:

"Haha, I’m not qualified to advise. May I know what Mr. Park needs from me?" Check latest chapters at novel⁂fire.net

On hearing these words, Park Toju hesitated awkwardly for a few seconds before speaking:

"Well, Mr. Lin, I, I still think it’s better I discuss it with you directly. The President Li doesn’t seem very friendly towards us."

Lin Yi was startled, then he remembered that Li Huiqun was always a zealous nationalist, perhaps Park Toju had approached Li Huiqun before.

But Li Huiqun may not have given him any face.

This did leave Lin Yi a bit dissatisfied.

That guy Li Huiqun, what’s he thinking? It’s business, you can’t act out of preference.

No matter what, you can’t let money slip away, right?

If you don’t like them, directly ask for ten times their collaboration fee of one billion USD, couldn’t you?

Moreover, just ask for a 30% engine usage fee per car, instead of 10%.

Looks like I need to educate this guy properly later.

But now that the call had already come to him, Lin Yi couldn’t just ignore it.

Thus, he deliberately feigned displeasure and asked:

"Oh? Are you saying President Li made things difficult for you? That guy, I’ll definitely criticize him later!! But tell me specifically, what conflicts did you have with President Li!!"

Listening to Lin Yi’s angry voice on the phone, although Park Toju was very displeased, he couldn’t complain about someone else’s employee.

So he quickly responded with a chuckle, "No matter, it’s not President Li’s fault, we share the blame too. Haha, Mr. Lin, please don’t mind this matter, let’s discuss the cooperation. We’ve agreed to everything you proposed earlier, when would you be free to sign the contract?"

However, the more the other side tried to avoid the topic, the more curious Lin Yi became.

He was genuinely curious about what exactly Li Huiqun did to the other side.

"How can that be? As they say, guests should never be turned away. It’s our duty to host our guests.

Tell me first, what exactly did President Li do? Until we understand, let’s not talk about cooperation. I absolutely can’t leave our guest feeling wronged!"

Hearing Lin Yi persistently digging for details, Park Toju recalled the conversation he had with Li Huiqun earlier that morning.

He was almost driven mad with anger.

But, anger aside, he was cautious not to show it to Lin Yi and forcibly suppressed his anger, hesitantly saying:

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, don’t let your mind wander, President Li just discussed the ownership of Sun Wukong with us, that’s all. It’s really insignificant, let’s move on to discussing cooperation."

This time, before the other side finished speaking, Lin Yi interrupted immediately:

"Oh? Discussing the ownership of Sun Wukong?? That President Li is something, isn’t he? Does it even need discussing? Sun Wukong is definitely yours! Not to mention anything else, what does Sun Wukong wield? A staff!

Just look at what Sun Wukong uses as a weapon to know! That President Li, seriously, no way, Mr. Park, hold on, I’ll call President Li right away and have a good talk with him."

After finishing, before the other party could respond, Lin Yi just hung up.

As for why he hung up, it was indeed a negotiation tactic.

After all, Lin Yi had a special cooperation agreement for these particular countries.

And at this very moment, on the other end of the line, Park Toju was so angry at the busy signal he almost smashed his phone on the ground!

"Bastards! You’re all bastards! You’re all bastards, damn it!"

Especially thinking of what Lin Yi just said, it was exactly what Li Huiqun had told him earlier today.

"Damn it! Sun Wukong is originally ours! What does it have to do with his weapon!!! Not just Sun Wukong, even The Buddha is ours!

Even Qin Shi Huang is our founding monarch!! Papermaking Technology, printing, gunpowder, cannons! All four great inventions are ours! You cheeky bastards just keep stealing our culture every day!!"
