96: I'm with 80 million

Moreover, practice has proven that there is still great potential for domestic chip development.

After speaking with Young Master Fang, Ye Lin turned to Zhang Zhi and said, "I am willing to invest 20 million yuan in your Shixing Technology, specifically for basic research on chips."

"Ah?" Zhang Zhi was stunned. 20 million yuan wasn't a huge amount, but it wasn't a small sum either. This Young Master Ye just offered it up?

Ye Lin's words not only surprised Zhang Zhi, but also somewhat astonished Young Master Fang and Young Master Long.

Young Master Fang shook his head and said meaningfully, "Young Master Ye, as far as I know, you are just a police officer, earning a salary. Wang Corporation, the Wang Family's company, is managed by your uncle. Can you really afford that much money?"

He didn't want to say it directly, but it was like, 'Big brother, if you don't have the money, don't try to fool people.'

Initially, he had a good impression of Ye Lin—capable and bold. So why was he bragging now, or perhaps trying to get something for nothing?

Some large families also had this bad habit: claiming to invest a certain amount to gain shares, but in reality, not putting in a single penny and getting shares for free.

Zhang Zhi seemed to have thought of this as well, and his expression became a little grim. This Young Master Ye wasn't being straightforward.

But with Young Master Fang present, and his good relationship with Young Master Fang, it made him uncomfortable, unsure how to refuse.

Ye Lin smiled slightly, calmly picked up his tea and took a sip, then said placidly, "Young Master Fang knows quite a lot, but do you know that my uncle recently opened a gaming company?"

"I know, I know that one. Storm Games, which claims that anything from Storm is a masterpiece," Young Master Long interjected quickly.

"They released "lord's canyon." I have it on my phone."

Young Master Long also enjoyed playing games. He picked up his phone from the table, excitedly opened the game interface, and proudly showed it to Ye Lin, "Young Master Ye, look, this skin of mine is a limited edition. It cost 100,000 yuan and adds 20 attack points from the start. It slays all who stand in its way!"

Ye Lin hadn't paid much attention at first, but upon hearing "+20 attack points," he immediately took the phone and looked closely.

In the character skin section, there was indeed a dazzling, winged battle armor: [Heavenly God Descends Armor], initial attack power +20.

Ye Lin's expression changed drastically, and he then pulled out his own phone.

Young Master Long, seeing Ye Lin's reaction, said proudly, "Envious, aren't you, Young Master Ye? This is a truly limited edition skin, just released. If you want to buy it now, you can't."

Young Master Fang watched coldly from the side. If Ye Lin was planning to snatch the skin, then his evaluation of Ye Lin would drop a few points.

Ye Lin quickly dialed Wang Chao's number.

"How's it going, nephew? Is the blind date over?" Wang Chao on the other end thought it was about the blind date.

"The blind date is over. I want to ask you something: Did you release the [Heavenly God Descends Armor] skin in "lord's canyon"?" Ye Lin went straight to the point.

"Yes, you know about it? It sold so well! I only released 100 sets, 100,000 yuan per set, and they sold out in minutes. Nephew, you're really amazing, it truly makes money!" Wang Chao's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

As soon as Ye Lin heard that it was indeed this guy who did it, his temper immediately flared, "Are you stupid? How many times have I told you not to do things that break the balance? It makes money quickly, but the game's lifespan will be gone, understand?"

"Shut down the server, update it, recall this skin, and refund the money to people," Ye Lin said in a commanding tone.

"No, I've already taken their money. How can I refund it? Besides, the market response is very good," Wang Chao said, a little unconvinced.

"If you still want me to design games for you in the future, then listen to me, otherwise, you can do it yourself from now on!" With that, Ye Lin directly hung up the phone.

The three people in the room remained silent, watching Ye Lin quietly.

"Did you design this game?" Young Master Long asked cautiously.

Ye Lin sighed and said irritably, "I designed it. I have technical shares in Storm Games. But unfortunately, this pig teammate is impossible to lead. I told him not to mess around, but he insisted on messing around."

Upon hearing that Ye Lin designed the game, Young Master Long's eyes lit up, and he said with an adoring expression, "Brother, you're amazing!"

"You can catch thieves, you can fight, and you can design games. Brother, you're an all-rounder!" Young Master Long almost shouted.

"You missed one thing," Young Master Fang said with a grin from the side, "Our Young Master Ye also knows Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"Huh?"

"He knows medicine?"

Young Master Long and Chairman Zhang were both a little incredulous. Traditional Chinese Medicine usually requires age and experience, and Ye Lin looked so young.

"Young Master Ye just cured Secretary Kang's father, didn't he?" Young Master Fang looked at Ye Lin with shining eyes. This Ye Lin was truly remarkable; he had to befriend him.

"It was just a coincidence," Ye Lin said lightly.

Suddenly, Young Master Long pointed at his phone and exclaimed, "Holy cow, the game is down!"

The game interface, which had been open moments ago, suddenly froze, and several large lines of text popped up: Emergency server shutdown. The [Heavenly God Descends Armor] will be recalled. All purchased players will receive a refund and a complimentary set of the latest fashion.

Seeing that Wang Chao had finally listened to him, Ye Lin's expression improved. He was just afraid of greed clouding judgment.

"Young Master Ye is mighty!" Young Master Fang applauded.

Young Master Long and Chairman Zhang also clapped, genuinely impressed.

"Alright, I trust Young Master Ye's judgment. The Fang Family will contribute 80 million yuan, making it a total of 100 million to invest in Shixing Technology," Young Master Fang announced loudly.

"Ah? Really?" Zhang Zhi was so happy he almost jumped up. He couldn't believe how smoothly things were going.

Everyone always said Young Master Fang was difficult to deal with, but wasn't he quite nice now?

"Chairman Zhang, I trust Young Master Ye, but if you misuse the money, my Fang Family isn't foolish," Young Master Fang said, his expression darkening as he threatened.

"Understood, understood, Young Master Fang. I promise, I promise this money won't be misused," Zhang Zhi quickly patted his chest and assured him.

Actually, this amount of money wasn't small, but what excited him most was gaining Young Master Fang's approval. He had initially thought Young Master Fang would at most help him find policies. Now that Young Master Fang had invested, Shixing Technology would be allied with Young Master Fang. Things would be much smoother when conducting business in the provincial capital in the future, as the Fang Family's influence spread to every corner.

Fang Yaowei directly investing 80 million yuan surprised Ye Lin.

His own 20 million yuan investment was partly due to sentiment from his previous life, not wanting the country to be constrained by others again. However, he also knew that the return on investment for this kind of thing was very low, and he was prepared to lose the money.

He believed that with Fang Yaowei's discernment, he wouldn't fail to see this. Yet, he still followed suit, which made Ye Lin admire him.

"Young Master Fang, come, I'll toast you." Ye Lin directly picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

Young Master Fang also picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. The two exchanged a smile.

With the important business concluded, it was time to discuss other matters.
