“But I don’t think he would have thought that Muddy Waters would be capable enough to release so much negative news surrounding him.”
“That’s right.” Cao Jiadong nodded.
“It’s been a whole day and a night. Other than those PR posts, Lin Yi hasn’t done anything. Maybe he’s resigned to his fate. Even if he comes out to explain later, the matter has been brewing for so long that it might not be of any help.”
After hearing Cao Jiadong’s thoughts, Cao Xiangyu nodded repeatedly.
He’d been thinking the same thing.
At this point, no matter what response they gave, it was difficult to salvage the situation.
Muddy Waters was not to be trifled with.
Thinking of this, Cao Xiangyu tilted his head and glanced at Cao Jingqiu.
Realizing that his sister had not expressed her thoughts yet, he could not help but feel suspicious.
“Jingqiu, what do you think of this matter?”
“I don’t know either.” Cao Jingqiu stared straight ahead as if she was in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
However, this answer confused the father and son.
The current situation was already clear. What else was there left to consider?
“Jingqiu, do you think there is another possible outcome?”
“Perhaps.” Cao Jingqiu said.
“It’s just a feeling. There’s no basis for it.”
“What do you think? Tell me,” Cao Jiadong asked.
“You guys think too lowly of Lin Yi, just like what happened to us. Who would have thought that he could make Cisco go bankrupt? This person’s thoughts are more complex than you think, so I feel that all this was within his expectations.” Cao Jingqiu said.
“Lin Yi hasn’t done anything for the past day and night. You think he’s at his wit’s end, but could he be waiting for a chance to turn the tables?”
“In this sort of situation, how could there still be a chance for him to turn the tables?” Cao Xiangyu said.
“Cisco was like the sun in the sky in Huaxia. Who would have thought that we would become like this overnight?” Cao Jingqiu asked.
“Who would have thought that he had secretly developed the code for Chip 2.0?”
Cao Jiadong and Cao Xiangyu stopped talking.
Lin Yi’s actions were unimaginable.
He was indeed capable of doing something that was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“What you said is also possible. However, I still feel that there is a high chance of him being crushed to death at this moment,” Cao Xiangyu said.
“Lin Yi might be smart, but Zhao Mo’s ability is obvious to all of us. He poured the entire Huayin Group’s strength into this matter. In front of absolute capital, Lin Yi’s chances of survival are very slim.”
“Perhaps.”
Cao Jingqiu did not reply, since she did not know what to say.
Even if the Huayin Group had absolute power, this matter still boiled down to who had the most money.
Lin Yi had quietly accumulated a hundred billion yuan. This was nothing to be scoffed at.
In a few minutes, the truth would be revealed.
About ten minutes later, all the lights except for those at the front of the stage went out.
This also indicated that the press conference was about to begin.
At the same time, Tian Yan was wearing a white female suit and black high heels. She looked at everyone with a smile and said,
“Recently, there have been some negative comments about our Lingyun Group and Didi on the Internet. After our investigation, we have confirmed that this was all nonsense. Next, let’s invite Mr. Zhu Feng of Muddy Waters to explain this matter.”
After a simple opening speech, Tian Yan walked down.
Zhu Feng, who was dressed casually, immediately took her place.
Even though he had not fought Lin Yi head-on, the conversation in the morning clearly showed him that he wasn’t that man’s match.
Seeing Feng Zhu walk onto the stage, the people below the stage were shocked.
This was because of his identity.
Because many people knew that the informant was the famous Muddy Waters in Meiguo.
And now, Lingyun Group actually invited the people from Muddy Waters LLC to hold this press conference. What was going on?
Standing on the stage, Feng Zhu straightened his expression and said,
“Good morning, reporters and media friends.”
“There was a lot of negative news about Lingyun Group and Didi on the Internet yesterday. I believe everyone knows that we were the ones who leaked the news. I’m standing here today to clarify this matter.
“First of all, I want to express my sincerest apologies to the president of Lingyun Group and the actual owner of Didi, Mr. Lin Yi.”
“All the negative information on the Internet was fabricated by us. There’s no truth to it.
“Because of our misconduct, we have caused huge economic losses to the Lingyun Group and Didi. Here, I am willing to bear all the responsibility and ask for their forgiveness.
“I also hope that everyone here can continue to support Lingyun Group and Didi. Don’t be swayed by this fake information. Don’t let these two conscientious companies be humiliated.”
With that, Feng Zhu bowed deeply to the higher-ups of Lingyun Group and Didi and walked out of the side door.
There were only a few minutes between the beginning and the end of the presentation.
However, to the people present, such news was no different from an earth-shattering tsunami.
Muddy Waters had dug up so much negative information, but in the end, they actually jumped out and admitted that this information was fake. Wasn’t this digging their own grave?
“How could this be?!” Cao Xiangyu widened his eyes and said.
“They could have killed Lin Yi, but they betrayed us. Isn’t this a joke?!”
“After what they did, Didi’s stock value will definitely skyrocket. It might even bounce back to its original value. How did Lin Yi do this?” Cao Jiadong said in shock.
Cao Jingqiu’s heart was beating wildly. She had thought that Lin Yi might be able to turn the tide.
However, she did not expect it to happen so cleanly and thoroughly.
What kind of forceful method was needed to achieve such an outcome?
Compared to all the possible solutions, this one was undoubtedly the best and most effective!
Lin Yi was too terrifying.
After Zhu Feng’s speech ended, the senior leaders of Lingyun Group and Didi spoke on stage one after another.
However, to the audience below, this was no longer important.
This was because Lingyun Group and Didi had already won this short-selling war.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the president did not even show his face and handled this matter so casually.
This was too amazing!
“I believe this news will soon reach Zhao Mo’s ears.”
“I wonder how he will feel after hearing about this.” Cao Jingqiu replied.
