"Buzzing—buzzing—"
Zhou Xiaoli's phone vibrated on the bedside table, the sound quite loud.
"Royal power?"
"That person's name is pretty imposing."
Ye Kai glanced at the names in the contacts displayed on the phone screen, made a casual comment, and then handed the phone to Zhou Xiaoli.
"This is the competitor I mentioned who is developing a new energy battery project. They have also invested over 100 million yuan in this project, but they haven't found a clear direction for development yet. They are simply optimistic about this sector."
"The only thing to be aware of is that his expertise is in batteries, so he obviously has an advantage over us laymen."
Zhou Xiaoli took the phone and glanced at it, but did not choose to answer the call, simply letting it continue to vibrate in her hand.
"Um?"
"Professionals aren't really a concern; they often get trapped in habitual thinking patterns and can't break free..."
Seeing that Miss Zhou didn't seem inclined to answer the phone, but the other party seemed persistent, Ye Kai suddenly had a bold idea. So he took the phone back and placed it on Miss Zhou's canyon.
"ah--"
Zhou Xiaoli was caught off guard and was shaken by the sudden high-frequency vibration, her whole body seemed to tremble.
Although she told Ye Kai that she was an old woman, she was only twenty-two years old. Her young body was naturally very sensitive to this kind of method, and she almost shouted out loud.
"You're up to your old tricks again!"
Zhou Xiaoli glared at Ye Kai, but didn't take her phone away. Instead, she gripped Ye Kai's arm tightly with her fingers and pressed herself against his chest, seemingly enjoying it immensely.
"It seems Mr. Wang is quite interested in Miss Zhou, the bell rang for a full two minutes."
"Miss Zhou, why don't you go with the flow and give him a chance to try? After all, we are also very interested in learning more about this project they have."
Only after the phone stopped vibrating completely did Ye Kai speak to Zhou Xiaoli, whose eyes were glazed over.
"You want me to be a corporate spy?"
Zhou Xiaoli, who had just opened her eyes again, suddenly became interested after hearing what he said. She sat up and excitedly pulled Ye Kai aside to ask him a question.
"It's not really about being a corporate spy, just getting to the bottom of things."
"I am very optimistic about the new energy battery project. If we can understand the other party's technical route, it will also benefit our development. At least we can avoid the other party's advantages and stick to our own goals without wavering."
"If we unfortunately collide, we'll only be caught in a vicious cycle of ineffective competition, which benefits no one."
Ye Kai explained to Zhou Xiaoli.
In fact, Ye Kai felt that the other party might have had the same considerations.
Zhou Xiaoli is currently forming alliances and working on new energy power battery projects, and this kind of news cannot be kept from those who are interested.
As someone who has chosen the same path, Wang Quan must also want to figure out the general direction of Miss Zhou's project. If cooperation is possible, then cooperation will be chosen; if competition is the only option, then either he should choose to bypass this path in the initial stage, or he should go all the way down this road and see who can see the dawn of victory first.
However, the latter competition is extremely brutal, and the losers have no choice but to die.
"It's not that it's impossible."
"However, I have no interest in seeing him alone; you'll have to come with me."
Miss Zhou is currently completely devoted to Ye Kai, so how could she possibly have feelings for other men? Even if she's just pretending, it's hard to resist.
"Shall I go with you to meet your blind date?"
"Looking at it this way... doesn't it feel really strange...?"
Ye Kai was taken aback when he heard that Miss Zhou would make such a request.
Miss Zhou is very decisive. She picked up her phone, found Wang Quan's call history, and dialed back directly.
As expected, Wang Quan extended a strong invitation to Miss Zhou, wanting to treat her to dinner.
"I haven't had much time lately."
"My business partner's younger brother came to Beijing, and I need to make time to accompany him and show him around the city."
Zhou Xiaoli made no attempt to hide anything, directly mentioning Ye Kai's special status and expressing that she valued this younger brother who was her partner highly and wanted to show him hospitality.
"Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?"
"Since it's Miss Zhou's brother who's here, it's a perfect opportunity to meet him. I should invite him to dinner as a welcome back party. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Wang Quan's voice was somewhat hoarse, with a strong smoky quality, and it was difficult to discern any changes in his emotions during his speech.
This is a ruthless person.
While listening to their conversation, Ye Kai mentally labeled this unfamiliar new energy battery project tycoon as someone not to be trifled with.
Sure enough, those who can thrive in the capital are not ordinary people.
After some back and forth, Zhou Xiaoli reluctantly agreed.
Why did you expose my identity so directly?
"In that case, even if we go to have dinner with him, we probably won't get any useful information."
Ye Kai was a little confused, wondering why Zhou Xiaoli was doing this.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Now that the other side has figured out Ye Kai's identity, how could they not be wary of them trying to extract information from him?
Tonight's dinner may not be enough to achieve our goal.
You're overthinking it.
"Actually, it's very difficult to maintain absolute mystery in this industry."
"Even among our company's project partners, there's a possibility that someone might leak the direction of technological development, and the other company might do the same."
"The only difference is what decisions each side will make after receiving information about the other's technological development direction?"
"Cooperation, confrontation, or surrender?"
"Should we invest money? If so, how long? And at what stop-loss level should we set the stop-loss order?"
"For investors, this is the issue they care about most."
In front of Ye Kai, Zhou Xiaoli gracefully put on her underwear and then began to touch up her makeup.
Every move she made exuded the air of a well-bred lady, radiating confidence.
Ye Kai suddenly realized that Miss Zhou was even more attractive to him at this moment than when she was naked.
Indeed, the beauty of mystery is extremely alluring in many situations.
"Oh, right."
"Just yesterday, we received good news from the lab: we have made a new breakthrough in key technologies."
"Although it is not yet certain whether this breakthrough can be translated into the application market, investment banks such as Sequoia Capital are willing to invest 100 million yuan in exchange for 10% equity in our company, which means that our company's valuation has risen to around 1 billion yuan."
"How about it, isn't this good news?"
After putting on her coat, Miss Zhou finally shared the news.
"Really?!"
"Doesn't that mean the value of my current shares has more than tripled?"
Upon hearing this news, Ye Kai did some mental calculations and suddenly realized that his equity stake in the Green Energy Core Power project was now worth over 261 million.
When it comes to the speed of making money, you have to look at how things are done in the capital market.
Trying to get something for nothing!
