Chapter 3: Squeeze the scumbag

Chapter 3: Squeeze the scumbag

The next day, Yin Shan checked the time and arrived at the coffee shop on time. He found Lu Yunchao sitting in a corner with a box next to him. Yin Shan calmed himself down, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, smiled, and walked towards Lu Yunchao. "Yunchao, you're here so early! I just told my parents about your help with our family. My parents are very happy and said they'd use this as collateral. I have a business trip that will take me over a month, so I'll give it to you first." Yin Shan said, taking out the RS7 car key and handing it to Lu Yunchao.

In his previous life, because Lu Yunchao liked this car, Yin Shan wanted to give Lu Yunchao a surprise, so he bought this car. However, this kind of car is completely useless after the end of the world. But now, using this car to get more funds is simply a good deal.

Lu Yunchao's eyes lit up. The latest RS7! He had only heard Yin Shan say that he had just picked up a new car a few days ago, but he didn't know what it was. It turned out to be this one. Greed flashed in Lu Yunchao's eyes, and his hand reached for the car keys uncontrollably. Suddenly, he thought of something and retracted it. Then he looked at Yin Shan complainingly and said, "What's our relationship? You don't need to use the new car as collateral. I trust you. You don't have to do this, Shanshan. I love you. Whatever you do, I support you!" Yin Shan took in Lu Yunchao's series of expressions, remained calm, and continued to tempt him, "My dad has started a multinational business this time, saying it's for artificial intelligence. Aren't we at war with the United States right now? He took the opportunity to grab some materials. Anyway, I don't quite understand it, but from what I heard from my dad, he said he wants to put all his working capital into it. He will make many times the profit later."

Lu Yunchao listened to Yin Shan's words and roughly understood what her father was trying to do. It was simply that he had used some channels to acquire a batch of rare metals, but he didn't have enough funds to purchase so much. However, the more he could acquire, the more money he would make later. Artificial intelligence was invented in China, but the key component, the brain, required a rare metal. Despite its vast territory and abundant resources, China lacked this metal, and the only way to manufacture it was to procure it from the United States. The United States wanted to acquire this invention through the metal, but negotiations between the two sides broke down after many attempts, leading to the technology's stagnation.

Lu Yunchao remembered the news reports at the time: one ton of rare metals could produce 20 AIs. At current market prices, one AI would cost 60 million. While this technology sounded high-end, the key components lay in the AI. Therefore, something worth 60 million was actually worth at least 40 million in its core. Artificial intelligence could be widely applied in various fields. If he could get an extra ton now, he could earn more than a mere 500,000 in commissions later. The thought intrigued Lu Yunchao, so he said to Yin Shan, "Shan Shan, I don't want a commission. And if you give me two days, I can raise more. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"

Yin Shan raised an eyebrow, having taken the bait. Then, looking annoyed, he said to Lu Yunchao, "Yunchao, my dad is going to die tomorrow, so I'm afraid it's too late. I know you'd do anything for me, but don't refuse this bribe. I'll still let you drive the car, and my dad will give it to you later when he gets the funds. Don't worry!"

Hearing the tight deadline, Lu Yunchao pretended to be embarrassed and said to Yin Shan, "Shanshan, do you remember Wang Yun? The vice president back then." Yin Shan smiled slightly, knowing that Lu Yunchao was anxious, so she continued, "I know. There were rumors in school that Wang Yun was in love with you, but in the end, you had the foresight to choose me! But why did you mention her? Are you two in contact? Lu Yunchao, you said you wouldn't contact her! Take this one million. I'll tell my dad that time was tight and I couldn't raise the money. Anyway, one million is only enough to buy one ton of materials. One ton less doesn't matter!"

Yin Shan finished speaking, picked up the car keys and turned to leave. Lu Yunchao suddenly became anxious. If Yin Shan left like this, where would he make the money? He could only get 500,000 yuan in benefits for 1 million yuan. If he could give out more, what about Yin Shan, what about Wang Yun? There are so many women in the world, why should he keep being a licking dog here!

Thinking of this, Lu Yunchao quickly grabbed Yin Shan and said, "Shanshan, listen to me. Wang Yun's father is my current boss. Our company is going to do a project, and I'll be in charge. I have 22 million in start-up funds, but this project only requires an initial investment of 2 million, and it won't be used for at least six months. I'll take out the 20 million, and you go give it to your uncle! Don't worry, it's absolutely safe, and there will be no problems."

After hearing this, Yin Shan knew that Wang Yun and Lu Yunchao had been in cahoots for a long time. The 22 million in start-up capital was simply a plan to tell Wang Yun that there was a big deal, and that 20 million could bring back 30 million. Yin Shan thought about it in his mind. Wang Yun's family started out in the catering business, and in the catering industry, 20 million in working capital might be enough, but it would inevitably affect the operation of the chain stores. So in order to maintain operations, some stores would have to be dumped. However, there are only two months left until the end of the world. Yin Shan is sure that if the Wang family paid out the 20 million, they would have a hard time when the end of the world comes. So Yin Shan pretended to hesitate: "Really, Yunchao, don't put your whole life on the line for me again. This is not a small matter. Are you sure?"

When Lu Yunchao heard Yin Shan say this, he knew she believed it, so he spoke confidently, "Don't worry, for your sake, I'll be fine. I'll make arrangements right now. The money needs to be transferred several times to prevent it from being discovered. I'll transfer it to you before the bank closes today at the latest. By the way, can you give me your uncle's account number?"

Yin Shan quickly gave Lu Yunchao a list of account numbers. As for how Lu Yunchao would explain it to Wang Yun, Yin Shan didn't care; she just wanted the money to stock up on supplies! Now that her goal had been achieved, Yin Shan didn't want to spend another second with him, so she quickly said, "Yunchao, go ahead. Be safe. I'll be back from my business trip just in time for your birthday!"
