"The people over at DiDi want to hike the price?" Chen Yiyang learned this news at the hotel.

"Yes." The junior accountant said, "It seems another company is involved and also wants to buy the Da Vinci car-making team."

"You reply to the people at Da Vinci. Our offer will only be lower, not higher. A company without car-manufacturing qualifications, it's already good if they can sell, yet they dare to hike the price."

Chen Yiyang didn't even have to think hard to know which company was raising the price.

But he was confident.

Because Da Vinci doesn't have car-manufacturing qualifications.

It's already worth celebrating if someone is willing to buy this company.

Now raising the price is purely nonsense.

Moreover, after understanding Da Vinci, Chen Yiyang didn't plan to actually buy the company himself.

So he simply called Zhang Yuling to continue helping him introduce car manufacturers in the Imperial Capital.

As Chen Yiyang continued to stir things up in the car manufacturing field in Beijing City.

His name also entered the ears of many people.

Some meetings and talks in the automobile industry in Beijing City also began to invite him to participate.

Chen Yiyang, with no rejections, attended them all to show his face.

Although he hasn't bought any car factory yet, he did buy Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving Company before, which makes him half a person in the auto industry.

After attending several meetings consecutively.

Chen Yiyang finally met the boss of Rice, Lei Jun, at one of the meetings.

"Hello, Mr. Lei." Chen Yiyang stood up to greet him.

"You must be Chen Yiyang, huh, an young hero indeed." Lei Jun looked curiously at Chen Yiyang.

He's been busy with car manufacturing recently and naturally heard some stories about Chen Yiyang.

Of course, he originally didn't care about such things.

But soon his team recommended an intelligent driving company to him, saying that the company's technology could just fill the gap in Rice Auto's intelligent driving field.

And the name of that company is Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving, which was just acquired by Chen Yiyang a few weeks ago.

"Compared to your achievements back then, mine are still lacking." Chen Yiyang showed modesty in front of Lei Jun.

"Our era is very different from today's." After some small talk, Lei Jun suddenly asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Chen recently bought an intelligent driving company, planning to enter the car manufacturing field?"

"Not really." Chen Yiyang responded bluntly, "I just think the technology level of this company is great. If I buy it, I can sell it to other car manufacturers to make a profit."

Chen Yiyang's response left Lei Jun silent.

He even suspected if his company had a mole. How could this guy just bought it, and then his company needed the Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving's technology?

"So, how much are you planning to sell Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving for?"

"If the other party is a friend, I could consider selling it for six hundred million in cash. If not, I'm planning to sell it for twelve hundred million."

Selling Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving for six hundred million is genuinely not expensive.

Chen Yiyang bought it for about four hundred million.

Lei Jun was prepared for a hefty price.

But didn't expect Chen Yiyang would only price it at six hundred million.

However, the price of six hundred million must come with its own conditions.

"So, how can I become friends with Mr. Chen?" After thinking long, Lei Jun couldn't help but ask.

Rice Auto is his entrepreneurial journey post-50s.

From an age perspective, he hardly has another chance to start over.

Thus, he holds great expectations for Rice Auto, it must succeed, not fail.

Lei Jun was ready, waiting for Chen Yiyang to make a request.

"I saw in earlier news that Changcheng had plans to co-build cars with Rice?" Chen Yiyang suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"I have a good relationship with Changcheng's former CEO, Wei Yujun. So maybe there are some misunderstandings in the outside world." Lei Jun instantly understood what Chen Yiyang wanted.

After thinking for just a few seconds, he decisively continued, "Later I will have the company issue a statement to clear up this misunderstanding."

"Then I wish us a pleasant transaction." Hearing Lei Jun's words, Chen Yiyang extended his hand.

"A pleasant transaction." Lei Jun shook Chen Yiyang's outstretched hand.

Two days later.

The Beijing automotive industry issued two news stories in succession.

One was Lei Jun personally coming forward to clarify that Rice has no intentions to collaborate with Changcheng on car manufacturing, and Rice will independently produce its first new energy vehicle.

The second news was Rice Auto announced acquiring Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving Company for six hundred million.

On the day the news was released, Changcheng Company's stock price took a dive.

Changcheng's former CEO Wei Yujun and Rice's Lei Jun always had a good relationship in the media.

Even when Lei Jun announced to make cars, Wei Yujun praise Rice's car manufacturing would surely succeed on multiple occasions.

There were also rumors that the two companies would jointly manufacture cars.

This led to Changcheng's stock continually rising with these news.

As a result, now Rice suddenly issued a clarification announcement, which is like a slap in the face for Changcheng.

But Wei Yujun still had no way to deal with Lei Jun.

When he called to inquire, the other party simply responded that it was a subordinate who saw recent news and felt a clarification was needed, so they issued the announcement.

But Wei Yujun is no fool.

Rice issued an announcement, and then declared acquisition of Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving from Chen Yiyang's hands, looks like Rice prepared to team up with Chen Yiyang.

Wei Yujun couldn't understand why Lei Jun would give a junior such a big favor.

This isn't just baffling Wei Yujun, but others in the circle couldn't understand as well.

Because Lei Jun wouldn't bother explaining the reasons for this to them.

After all, issuing an announcement that saves the company billions, who wouldn't do that?

Rice's money doesn't grow on trees, Lei Jun has no reason not to agree with Chen Yiyang.

Plus, Rice Auto urgently needs the technology from Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving.

While staying in the hotel, Chen Yiyang, reviewing this deal, also understood another trick to exploit information.

That is creating information gaps in the business field.

From others' perspective, this deal looked like Chen Yiyang got blacklisted by Changcheng's smear campaign, then came to Beijing high profile announcing he'd manufacture cars, targeting Changcheng.

This initially seemed like a foolhardy move.

The result wasn't long after, Lei Jun from Rice, issued an announcement breaking ties with Changcheng, and bought an intelligent driving company from Chen Yiyang at a high price.

To know this company was just acquired by Chen Yiyang for four hundred million not long ago.

In the end, he made a two hundred million profit by flipping it.

Some might even believe if it was said that Chen Yiyang is Lei Jun's illegitimate son.

But from Chen Yiyang's perspective, this matter is actually very ordinary.

Because the leaked intel already hinted to Chen Yiyang that acquiring Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving would be a windfall.

Combined with the news from Chairman Liu about Rice Auto's unsolved intelligent driving issues he gathered.

Easily deduced that the technology of Deep Freeze Intelligent Driving might be what Rice Auto needs.
