People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Chapter 133 The Crowd Gains Momentum, the Last Glimmer of the New World

"Seventh Miss, isn't it reasonable to feel a little smug watching others fall into your trap?"

Lin Yi chuckled.

He really hoped that people like Song Wenchang and Kong Yongzhi would also join in the fun at this time.

He was confident he could easily handle any tricks these people played, relying solely on simple business tactics.

Taking this opportunity to humiliate these people once again will be very beneficial to me.

This would not only make local powerful figures like Chen Bonan and Liu Yuanfu more loyal to him, but also elevate his prestige in the business world.

The higher one's prestige, the more things one can do.

He has organized the textile association, and he can also lead the establishment of an automobile industry association when the automobile project is about to begin construction.

Although there are currently no companies in China engaged in this field.

But this cake is very big, especially when you draw it yourself.

Anyone with ambition, ability, and confidence in themselves will likely want to get involved.

Even if we settle for second best, at least it will garner attention in the academic community.

When experts and scholars gather together, they become a force that cannot be ignored.

When the masses gather, that's the foundation.

However, doing this step by step is not only too slow, but also very difficult.

In particular, these engineering experts and scholars have more faith in data and a better understanding of China's meager industrial capabilities.

It's not that he can just draw up a pie in the sky and produce a set of car manufacturing blueprints to get these people excited, join the Automobile Manufacturers Association, and follow him to do great things.

After all, even some professors at Shanghai University are currently pessimistic about car manufacturing.

From a single screw to a finished car rolling off the assembly line, this process is extremely demanding on the industrial base.

And this is precisely what China is currently lacking the most.

Normally, this requires the nation's resources to accumulate and cultivate.

Now that he's doing it himself, without showing off his skills and crushing the likes of Song Wenchang and Kong Yongzhi, no one will easily believe he has the ability.

So he's been waiting for someone to offer their head as a stepping stone, to build up his momentum.

Unfortunately, the Lunar New Year has passed, but it still hasn't arrived.

I've been feeling down about this for the past couple of days.

A bunch of trash!

"If you walk the dark road too often, you'll eventually run into a ghost."

Sheng Aiyi was unaware that Lin Yi had so many schemes up his sleeve; at this moment, she only felt that he was getting a little carried away.

The intention was to remind people to be cautious, but once the words were spoken, they took on a different meaning.

I couldn't help but be annoyed at myself for speaking without thinking.

"I'm not afraid of people, so why would I be afraid of ghosts?"

Lin Yi chuckled, completely unconcerned about that.

Without waiting for Sheng Aiyi to speak again, he said, "By the way, there is another matter I would like to ask Miss Qi for help today."

"Need money again?"

This was the only possibility Sheng Aiyi could think of.

"No, I'm going to the United States after the Chinese New Year."

"If anything important happens to me while I'm away, I'll have to trouble Miss Seven to lend a hand."

"No need to do anything else, just wait half a month until I come back."

Song Wenchang, Kong Yongzhi, and their ilk remained inactive.

Although Lin Yi was not afraid, if he went to the United States, he would inevitably be unable to act effectively due to the distance.

If these people really take advantage of this lull to make a move, only Sheng Aiyi can help.

What are you going to the US for?

"I have business to handle, it's very important, I have no choice but to go."

"What kind of business, stocks?"

Sheng Aiyi's eyes gleamed faintly.

During her last trip to the United States, she only received 50% of the profits.

However, with such a large initial investment, the returns are still quite substantial.

She would be very happy to earn it again if given the chance.

Not to mention, I'll get to see that annoying guy every day again!

"No, it's an acquisition of an oil company."

"You know, this kind of basic industry involves too many things, so I can only make one trip."

"That's it."

Sheng Aiyi nodded, then asked, "Do you need to invest?"

"If Miss Seven is interested, we can give you some shares, but the amount will not be too much."

Lin Yi readily agreed.

It doesn't matter to the minority shareholders; they'll just be buying some shares from the Americans for her.

"Then it's a deal."

A slight smile appeared on Sheng Aiyi's lips, but she quickly concealed it.

"Since you helped me, I've agreed to your request. If anything happens, I'll do my best."

"I knew Miss Seven was the best friend."

Lin Yi chuckled and stood up from the sofa: "There's a lot going on at the end of the year, so I won't bother Miss Qi any longer."

"We'll discuss the oil company shares by telegram later."

"Okay, no need to see me out."

As he spoke, his eyes betrayed his disappointment, and he felt a surge of anger.

After Lin Yi lifted his foot, she finally said, "Stay."

"Is there anything else you need, Miss Seven?"

He put his foot down again and looked back at her.

"There's something I need to tell you."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Sheng Aiyi's lips: "I bought New World, and it will be closed for renovations after the Spring Festival."

"If you had returned from the US in time, you might have been able to make it to the opening ceremony."

"By the way, we'll rename it Paramount."

"Then congratulations in advance, Miss Seven. The Paramount Ballroom is sure to have a prosperous business."

Lin Yi offered his congratulations.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Aiyi shook her head: "That's really hard to say."

A sly glint flashed in her eyes as she chuckled, "From now on, the Paramount will only be a dance venue. All that other shady stuff will disappear."

"What I'm afraid of is that someone like Mr. Lin won't come back."

Lin Yi: "...Hehe, Miss Seven has probably misunderstood. I never go to places like the New World."

"I'll take my leave now. When the Paramount opens, even if I can't make it back in time, I'll definitely send someone to congratulate me."

After saying this, Lin Yi hurriedly left.

As soon as he left the house, he sent Ah Sheng to Jin Cheng Bank.

Visiting my old friend Chen Daochang was already on my itinerary.

I originally just planned to sit for a while, but now I can't.

Tonight we absolutely have to organize a gathering, get all our drinking buddies together at New World and have some fun.

Sheng Aiyi, this woman, is she planning to offend every man in Shanghai!

Inside the Sheng Mansion, watching Lin Yi leave in a hurry, Sheng Aiyi was in a great mood.

With a smile on her face, she took the gift left by Lin Yi and began to look through it.

She initially thought it was just an ordinary gift, but when she opened the box and saw the exquisite phoenix crown inside, she was completely stunned.

A moment later, with two blushes appearing on her face, Sheng Aiyi hurriedly closed the box.

Looking around, he saw that several servants were standing in the distance, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart was pounding wildly at that moment.

What does this guy mean?

Can a phoenix crown be given away casually?

Was he implying something, or did he simply not think much of it?

A bunch of thoughts suddenly popped into her mind, and the Seventh Miss was thrown into a state of turmoil.

Even when Aunt Wu came up to her and said that the young master had arrived, it took her three times to come to her senses.

"Who?"

"Young Master."

"not see."
