Hearing the other party mention an unspoken request, Lin Yi instinctively wanted to joke about it.
Since it’s an unspoken request, better not to say it.
However, seeing Zhuang Yan’s serious demeanor, Lin Yi finally didn’t joke and instead waited quietly for Zhuang Yan to continue.
"Brother also knows that this might put you in a difficult position, but I have no other choice.
Because our cooperation was too smooth, but without timely communication with you, I shifted all the focus from Xuanrui Studio to Guangshuo.
Not only that, but just a month ago, I also acquired hundreds of acres of land next to Guangshuo, and construction of the new factory has already begun.
The total investment not only exhausted all my available funds, but I also need to add an additional billion in total investment later on.
Alas, I originally thought that your orders would continue to increase, and expanding the factory was just a matter of time, plus the additional funds wouldn’t be any problem.
But brother, I really didn’t anticipate that Nuclear Technology’s development direction would turn out .
This is also my fault for having limited foresight and looking at things too narrowly."
After hearing this, Lin Yi also understood, so Brother Zhuang saw a profit and actually built another electronics factory?
And judging by this, the investment is quite significant.
Lin Yi felt helpless about this.
Just as Zhuang Yan said, it was he who underestimated his ambitions—how could he possibly limit Nuclear Technology’s development over a few factories?
One could see this from Core Technology’s independence.
However, buying land and building factories aligns exactly with his own thoughts.
Seeing Lin Yi in silence, Zhuang Yan couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy.
It wasn’t because of Lin Yi’s expression; he blamed himself for being too greedy.
If he hadn’t invested all his funds into the new factory, even if Lin Yi stopped cooperating with him, what would it matter?
But it’s too late to say anything now, seeing Lin Yi not speaking, he could only continue:
"Brother, don’t feel too pressured. I know it’s not your concern; it’s my greed.
How about this, my two factories could join Nuclear Technology."
Although he knew that once joining Nuclear, 51% of the factory’s shares would go to Nuclear Technology, it was the only option left.
If there were any other way, he wouldn’t want to give half of his factory to someone else.
Lin Yi, who was pondering how to execute his plan, only came to his senses upon hearing Zhuang Yan’s words.
Looking at Zhuang Yan with some confusion, he then asked:
"Brother Zhuang, are you saying you want to join Nuclear Technology?? Are you planning to quit this business?"
Once the words left his mouth, Lin Yi realized what the other was planning.
He couldn’t help but let out a wry smile, then poured another cup of tea for Zhuang Yan and said with a grin:
"Hey, Brother Zhuang, stop overthinking. When I was struggling the most, it was always you who supported me; how could I possibly do something so ungrateful now?
Brother, you’re worried that once all of Nuclear Technology’s businesses launch, they’ll replace your Guangshuo, right?
That’s indeed what I was planning to discuss with you on this trip."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yan let out a long sigh in his heart but didn’t interrupt Lin Yi.
And Lin Yi continued:
"In a while, Guangshuo Electronics Factory’s core smartphone business will be fully suspended.
However, our cooperation won’t stop, haha.
Hey, let me be straightforward: Guangshuo Electronics Factory will undergo reform and become Nuclear Group’s exclusive experimental lab factory.
Put it this way, Brother Zhuang, you understand, right? It’s not collaborating with Core Technology, but with Nuclear Group.
You should have some understanding of Nuclear Group by now; it will continuously release various new products in the future.
Just like Core Technology, there will be countless independent subsidiaries in operation in the future.
Every product will go through research, testing, and then production, with the first step of research happening in Nuclear Group’s laboratory.
The second step, testing, I plan to conduct at Guangshuo in the future, where all new experiments will be held.
It’s a good thing you’re planning to build a new factory, so there’s no need to renovate the old one. Start with the walls of the new factory; leave out the office area, factory area, and interior structure for now. I’ll have Nuclear Group’s design team conduct an on-site survey later.
As for the old factory, if you’d like, it can serve as a sub-experiment factory."
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhuang Yan was stunned, holding a teacup in his hand motionless for quite a while.
His eyes were filled with shock.
He initially thought Lin Yi was just going to leave him with some leftovers, but now it’s more than just leftovers?
Now he’s been directly served a whole pot of meat!
ps: Sorry for the late update, brothers. More to come soon!
