In the middle of the bidding meeting, everyone sitting in the seats had different thoughts.
In this bidding meeting, only a small part of the people came for Lin's project, while the vast majority of people had other plans.
Therefore, there were not many real bidders, and the bids were very high, and the plans given were mediocre, as if they were trying to peel off another layer of skin from Lin, who was so skinny that a camel was bigger than a horse.
Just when everyone thought that Lin's company might really be on the verge of collapse, a company came up with an exquisite plan for Lin's bidding, and the price was very reasonable.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion now, but I didn't expect that at this time, there would actually be a company willing to cooperate with Lin.
Zhou Cishen was not surprised. He tapped his knees with his fingers, thoughtfully.
Lin Zhiyuan looked back, and then asked the assistant next to him in a low voice: "What is the origin of this company? Why are they not on the bidding list?"
The assistant said: "Complex is an overseas company that is very famous. It has cooperated with Zhou Group not long ago, and their person in charge, William, also came to Nancheng for this purpose.
For this bidding, they may have made a temporary decision, so it was not recorded on the bidding list."
Lin Zhiyuan heard this and looked to the other corner of the venue.
William met his gaze, nodded and smiled.
The assistant continued: "Complex has been thinking about exploring the domestic market in the past two years, and has been trying continuously. Cooperating with Zhou Shihe is just the beginning. It is estimated that participating in the bidding this time is to use Lin's power to completely expand the domestic market.
."
Lin Zhiyuan said: "First the Zhou family, then the Lin family. It seems that his ambition is not small."
However, if he simply wanted to expand the market, it would be understandable to cooperate with two large companies one after another.
But if he had other ideas, the purpose would be too obvious.
Lin Zhiyuan added: "Go check the details of this company and the person in charge, William."
"yes."
As the bidding meeting ended, Lin Zhiyuan also stood up.
But before he had taken a few steps, he was blocked by someone.
Ruan Xingwan stood in front of him and smiled slightly: "Hello, Chairman Lin, I am Ruan Xingwan, we have met before."
Lin Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Remember, what can I do for you?"
Ruan Xingwan looked around, and his smile became even brighter: "I saw a lot of familiar faces, all of them are well-known people in Nancheng. I have a few words to ask Chairman Lin, but I don't know if it's convenient."
Ruan Xingwan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, attracting everyone who was about to leave.
Even William stopped, but just stood outside the crowd and watched this scene quietly.
Ruan Xingwan is beautiful, and she dresses up deliberately. She is the center of attention no matter where she is placed. In addition, she also said a few secret words, which shows that people have a heart for gossip.
Lin Zhiyuan also noticed their thoughts, frowned slightly, and said nothing for a while.
Lin Zhiyi walked over and said coldly: "Miss Ruan came here uninvited. She knew it might be inconvenient, but she still asked deliberately, putting my father in a dilemma. She didn't even have the basic courtesy and education."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan just smiled at her: "Miss Lin's words are serious. I just want to ask Chairman Lin a few words. Why is there a dilemma? But if Chairman Lin doesn't dare to speak in front of everyone,
If you answer me face to face, that’s okay, we can find a quiet place to chat.”
Lin Zhiyi's expression changed: "Miss Ruan, pay attention to your wording!"
Lin Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to stop her and looked at Ruan Xingwan, his expression as elegant and gentle as ever: "There is nothing you dare not ask."
Ruan Xingwan looked at Lin Zhiyi, then slowly looked away, and continued: "I came here to ask Chairman Lin if he had customized a pocket watch more than 20 years ago."
Lin Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with anger, but it was fleeting. He answered with ease: "I don't know why Miss Ruan asked me this. As you said, it has been twenty years. I also remember a pocket watch.
Not sure anymore.
Maybe I’ve bought it, maybe I haven’t.”
Ruan Xingwan was not surprised by his answer. He just took out a yellowed book from his bag: "This is the purchase record of the pocket watch manufacturer. Chairman Lin is a noble man who forgets things a lot, but there are clear records in this."
Hey, Chairman Lin once customized two pocket watches as wedding anniversary gifts for you and your wife. When I say this, is Chairman Lin impressed?"
Lin Zhiyuan's face tightened slightly: "I remember, this is what happened.
But Miss Ruan, I must remind you that my wife has passed away for some reason a long time ago, and I hope you will not make any articles about her."
"Chairman Lin is overly worried. I'm just asking. She has passed away, so I will not be disrespectful to Mrs. Ling."
Ruan Xingwan added, "But I would like to ask, among all of you, has anyone here ever seen Chairman Lin's wife?"
Several business tycoons who were about the same age as Lin Zhiyuan glanced at each other, but did not say anything immediately.
Lin Zhiyuan's wife passed away many years ago, and those who have seen her must be from the older generation like them.
Although it has been so long, I can no longer remember what she looked like, but I vaguely remember that she was particularly beautiful.
However, they just came to watch the fun. They haven't figured out what the situation is yet, so they definitely won't speak out rashly. It's not worthwhile to offend Lin Zhiyuan for a little girl like her.
Lin Zhiyi said: "That's enough, Miss Ruan, you are not welcome here, please get out!"
At this time, an old and steady voice came from outside the crowd: "I have seen it."
As the voice fell, the crowd slowly made way for them.
The person who came is Mr. Jin.
Old Jin walked up to Ruan Xingwan with a cane: "Little girl, Chairman Lin's wife was once my student. There may be no one here who is more familiar with her than me."
At this point, Lin Zhiyuan's expression could no longer be described as ugly. Lin Zhiyi wanted to speak several times, but he blocked her back.
Ruan Xingwan nodded to Mr. Jin, put his hand into the bag again, paused for a few seconds, then took out the pocket watch and handed it to Mr. Jin.
Outside the crowd, William looked at the pocket watch, his expression suddenly changed, and just as he was about to step forward, he was held back by the assistant beside him.
The assistant whispered: "Sir, Lin Zhiyuan's people have started to stare at us."
They have been waiting for this moment for so long. If they were discovered by Lin Zhiyuan at this time, they would really have failed.
William's hands on his sides were clasped together and he looked over again.
