I am really a time traveler

Chapter 118 Reminiscing about the past

"do not you know?"

Qi Mengfei asked subconsciously after hearing this. Then she seemed to think of something and couldn't help but shook her head, "That's right. I haven't had much contact with you since then. It's normal that you don't know."

Lin Yicheng frowned and looked at the other person, "What should I say? Did something happen?"

Qi Mengfei thought about it after hearing the words, and felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so she said immediately, "Not long after signing the contract with you, I purchased a large number of materials and hoarded them in the warehouse."

"I just didn't expect that when the materials were coming in and ready to be sent to you, a fire broke out that night and burned all the materials in the warehouse."

"The fire was so fierce that it burned everything and killed two people. I paid a large amount of compensation for this, and the money I had originally paid for the materials was wasted, and the company also lost money. It closed down."

"If it hadn't been for the country's rapid development and me reaping some dividends, I would be begging for food now."

Having said this, Qi Mengfei couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Lin Yicheng fell silent when he heard this. If he guessed correctly, the other party might have been implicated as well.

"Have the prices of those materials increased since then?"

"Yes, isn't this normal? At that time, I imported too many materials and burned them all in one fire. If the market demand can no longer be met, the price of materials will definitely rise."

Qi Mengfei didn't think much at the moment, and subconsciously replied.

Lin Yicheng was silent, the other party also thought of a lot of tricks, and burned the materials to increase the price of the materials.

In this way, it will force the development of Xingtu Company.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, the investment in research and development of such a battery must be very large, and at this time it must start to make money.

Raising the price of materials will definitely be a fatal blow to some companies with insufficient funds.

Especially for a company like Xingtu. After the investigation, there is no background, and there is no company backed by a strong financial backer.

Even if the company cannot be acquired, it can still be used as an injection of foreign capital to gradually erode it.

The other party still has a lot of calculations.

It's a pity that the other party probably didn't expect that at that time, Lin Yicheng brought back two cubic meters of gold, worth more than 10 billion.

Therefore, in terms of funds, Xingtu Company can be said to be extremely robust.

However, what the other party didn't know was that Qi Mengfei suffered an unreasonable disaster.

"Speaking of which, your company hasn't developed because of this reason. I'm really sorry for you."

Qi Mengfei looked at Lin Yicheng with a hint of apology on her face.

She heard that not long after, a partner in the other company's company fell to his death in an accident.

But she felt that maybe it was not an accident, maybe it was because the company was forced into a desperate situation and the other party committed suicide.

After all, later on, Xingtu Company's products were not launched for a long time, and in the end, it also announced its bankruptcy.

She felt that some of this was partly due to her own reasons, which indirectly led to such an accident in the other company.

"You don't have to feel guilty because of this, the reason for this is not yours."

Seeing that the other party had taken all this matter on himself and looked very guilty, Lin Yicheng thought for a moment, this was already seventy or eighty years ago.

Saying it now, in fact, has no effect.

"Ah? Wasn't it because of my poor management at that time that the fire in the warehouse indirectly affected the price of materials at that time and caused your company to have financial problems?"

At that time, she felt that people as old as Lu Qingxi and others should not have sufficient funds in their hands.

Moreover, I haven’t heard of the other party’s background.

In this case, the lack of funds is enough to knock down the opposing company.

"No, actually speaking, you are still implicated by our company."

It was already at this time, and he couldn't let the other party feel so guilty any longer. Lin Yicheng looked at the other party and decided to tell him the whole story.

"At that time, our company invented a new energy battery called Jingli. After signing the contract, due to commercial espionage in the other company, another company knew about this battery."

"Jingli? Haven't heard of it?"

Hearing what Lin Yicheng said, Qi Mengfei who was in front of her thought about it carefully, then shook her head.

This is really not heard of this battery.

Lin Yicheng sighed after hearing this, "Of course you haven't heard of it, because the hostile company then stole some of the relevant results and then patented this product."

"At that time, our Xingtu company's patent had not yet been applied for, and we wanted to speed up the progress. We signed a contract and in the process of mass production. By the way, we could also wait for the patent application to be issued, and then we could announce this battery to the public. .”

"I just didn't expect that there would be such a thing as commercial espionage. Then the company secrets were stolen. Wu Qihui was faked as a suicide because he bumped into the other party."

"The burning of your warehouse is just a way for the other party to force our Xingtu company. They raised the price of materials in order to increase our production costs, so that they can inject funds and slowly eat away at Xingtu."

"It's a pity that the other party underestimated the bloodiness of the three of them. After discovering these situations and after Wu Qihui died, they brought the most advanced military batteries and sought official cooperation."

"Then that battery is called Jinglong."

Lin Yicheng briefly told the other party what happened that year. When he reached the end, Qi Mengfei's eyes widened in front of him.

"what?"

"So my warehouse was burned down because your battery was too advanced? Did Wu Qihui commit suicide?"

At this moment, Qi Mengfei looked at Lin Yicheng in front of her, her eyes full of astonishment and shock.

She originally thought that it was just a splash in business, but she never thought that it turned out to be a huge conspiracy.

What was even more unexpected was that he was still involved in it, but he never noticed anything strange.

Now that she thought about it again, she suddenly realized that everything back then seemed to be just targeting Xingtu Company.

Thinking of this in her heart, Qi Mengfei couldn't help being shocked at the moment.

So, all these years have been spent in vain?

"Well, that was indeed the case back then."

Lin Yicheng took a sip of water and nodded slightly.

At that time, the other party knew too little, so it was normal for him not to notice anything.

After all, the other party doesn't even know what products Xingtu will produce.
