Chapter 1178: The Meaning of History

Although Lin Yi was the one who bought the car, Caie Mitsui was the one to transfer the money.

The entire process lasted for more than ten minutes, and the driver was dumbfounded from beginning to end.

During this period of time, Yoshika Higashino also sent a message over.

The people from Black Gold Corporation were driving towards the seaside.

All of this was in line with their suspicions. They were going to smuggle the Bass ores in.

Lin Yi drove towards the beach.

Even though the situation was clear, Lin Yi still had doubts in his heart.

Was Caie Mitsui’s man reliable?

Did anyone from Black Gold Corporation find out?

All of these would be potential problems.

Other than that, after what happened last time, Jeffrey would definitely be extra careful when making deals. Therefore, the people sent this time would all be stronger than Jimmy!

Therefore, it was very likely that Paul and Eliza, who had never appeared until this point, would be sent to supervise!

According to the intelligence, the two of them were not weak. They were both D-class.

In other words, their strength was not much weaker than his. They might even be stronger than him!

If he included the other parties, this operation might not be as easy as he had imagined.

Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he drove, thinking about these things.

“What are you thinking about? Did you think of something bad?” Caie Mitsui asked.

Lin Yi’s expression gave her a bad feeling.

With his ability, it was rare for him to show such an expression.

“I’m wondering if the man you sent is reliable. The one called Yoshika Higashino isn’t very good.”

“Don’t worry about that. She didn’t go too close. She’s only in charge of surveying.” Caie Mitsui said,

“The people we sent to follow them are intelligence personnel trained by our Mitsui family. You Huaxians are used to calling them ninjas. I’m still confident in their skills when it comes to this. There won’t be any problems.”

“Then there’s nothing to worry about.”

Because he had interacted with these so-called ninjas before, Lin Yi was confident of their abilities.

Back then, when they snuck into the Jiuzhou Pavilion, he did not even discover their tracks.

If it wasn’t for Li Chuhan, he might not have known about this.

For this reason, the chances that they had been exposed was not high.

It was a cool night by the sea. Lin Yi and Caie Mitsui drove the car to Toyo Harbor.

As the largest seaport in the island nation, the modernization level of Toyo Harbor was unparalleled in the world.

Containers could be seen everywhere. It was like a steel maze.

“These people are quite bold. They actually dare to transport the goods over so openly.” Lin Yi smiled.

“There’s an ancient saying in Huaxia. The most dangerous place is often the safest. They might be taking advantage of this,” Caie Mitsui said.

According to the news from Yoshika Higashino, the people from Black Gold Corporation had already arrived at Toyo Harbor. They had also overheard that the other party would take the Marquis freighter that was about to arrive at the port to deliver the Bass ore to the people waiting at the pier.

For Lin Yi, this kind of transaction approach seemed quite fresh.

This was because in the past, they would always use a run down boat and secretly dock in the middle of the night.

Moreover, according to tradition, there would definitely be some accidents along the way.

Either a spy was revealed and the transaction was terminated, or both parties would double-cross the other.

However, in the twenty-first century, these bad guys also seemed to have changed with the times.

“Mr. Lin, 1 have a question for you,” Caie Mitsui said while waiting.

“Yes, and 1 answered. The minion wave is the most important to consider, and I don’t want to work with you,” Lin Yi cut in, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“Are you unwilling to cooperate because we’re from Sunrise Land?” Caie Mitsui asked.

“This is an era where cooperation brings about win-win situations. Only by working together can we create greater benefits and value.”

Lin Yi lowered the seat and lay flat in the car with his hands behind his head.

“When I was in junior high school, the most annoying class was history. That’s because 1 understood mathematics, physics, and chemistry at a glance. 1 didn’t even need to learn it. I could save a lot of time which 1 could then use to play video games, but my history wasn’t good. If I didn’t memorize it, 1 wouldn’t know anything at all. I didn’t even score more than 20 points in the exam.”

Caie Mitsui didn’t say anything and listened quietly.

“But at that time, 1 was rebellious and disobedient. 1 wouldn’t learn history even if 1 was beaten to death. When I saw the teacher, 1 rolled my eyes. When the teacher saw me, his head hurt.”

“In the end, I went to a high school that was divided into a liberal arts and a science stream. 1 chose science without hesitation, but it wasn’t because my mathematics, physics, and chemistry that was good. 1 just didn’t have to study history anymore. 1 felt like there was nothing more satisfying than being able to escape this subject.”

“This thought lasted until 1 graduated from university and met my first client. Only then did my perspective change.”

“Is that person very powerful?”

In Caie Mitsui’s opinion, someone who could affect Lin Yi was definitely not an ordinary person.

“He’s a university professor, teaching history, but he’s really impressive, at the level of a doctoral supervisor. He was interested in one of our company’s 200-square-meter apartments. According to Central Sea’s market prices, that apartment is worth over 20 million. For me, it’s a big deal.”

“To be able to strike up a conversation with him, I decided to get into his interests. 1 bought quite a few history books and studied intensively for a week. After that, 1 had gained some understanding of the history of various dynasties. But it was precisely during that time that I suddenly understood a principle.”

“History isn’t used for exams. It’s used to remember.”

“Win-win cooperation is indeed the prevailing economic model in today’s world, but even a wise person loves money with discretion. A real man knows when to act and when not to. While 1 might not be a good person, 1 do have principles.”

“Why is Mr. Lin so sure that what we’re doing is shameful?”

“If you are really doing something noble, why do you have to be so sneaky?” Lin Yi smiled.

“If you really think that way, you’re overestimating yourself whilst underestimating me.”

“But 1 can tell you clearly that where there’s light, there’s darkness. This world is balanced. The more good there is, the more evil there will also be.” Caie Mitsui looked at Lin Yi.

“You have to believe me. No organization in this world is clean. Not even a country.”

“Just like we discussed earlier, this is a matter of principles. 1 might not be entirely clean either, but there are limits I won’t cross.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Of course, I’m not saying that you’re shameless. I just don’t want to do this.”

Caie Mitsui was not angry. She was extremely tolerant of Lin Yi.

“If I hand over all the decision-making authority to you, adopting dual-class shares, giving you both the decision-making power and the right to veto, even if it means we earn less in profits, would that be acceptable?”

“Nope.”

“What a pity.” Caie Mitsui’s expression returned to normal. “You lost a chance to conquer the world.”

Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Caie Mitsui calmly.

“So what if I conquer the world? After thousands of years, won’t 1 also be a pile of yellow soil and a cup of turbid wine?”
