Lin Mo smiled calmly, "Chief Li, you flatter me. We are not big stars, we are just two ordinary freshmen."

Li Hongxiang stroked his beard and laughed, "A freshman? And an ordinary one?"

"Don't be so modest. At such a young age, you should at least show some talent."

Lin Mo remained calm, showing no sign of restraint, and spoke eloquently: "If you don't reveal your true intentions, you can accomplish anything."

Li Hongxiang couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Lin, your grandson is truly remarkable!"

Lin Yi laughed, "It's just so-so, not bad."

Li Hongxiang scoffed, "Stop pretending, your smile is practically reaching your ears."

Lin Yi laughed louder and nodded noncommittally, "Alright, since you put it that way, what else can I say? Xiao Mo is indeed a good kid."

After saying that, he added with a hint of lingering enthusiasm, "Of course, Yu'er is no less capable than Xiao Mo. In some ways, she is even more outstanding than Xiao Mo."

Li Hongxiang leaned close to Lin Yi's ear and whispered, "Brother Lin, are you showing off?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Guess."

"Yes."

"Congratulations, you got it."

Lin Yi readily admitted it.

Having such a grandson and such a granddaughter-in-law, can't we be proud of it?

Li Hongxiang chuckled, "Alright, I've been traveling all day and I'm starving. Shall we eat and chat?"

Lin Yi raised his hand. "Please."

After the group arrived in the living room and took their seats, they all sat down.

As the younger generation, Lin Mo and An Youyu consciously sat down at the back of the table.

Li Hongxiang smiled apologetically at Xu Yanshu, "Mrs. Xu, could you please let Lin Mo and An Youyu sit a little closer to me?"

Xu Yanshu naturally wouldn't refuse Li Hongxiang's request, and stood up with a smile, saying, "If Chief Li has asked, how can it not be allowed?"

"Xiao Shu, you and I will sit in the back."

Lin Shu stood up and said, "Okay."

At this moment, she was filled with doubt.

Chief Li made a late-night visit, saying he came specifically for his son and the fish. What's going on?

There's no chance to ask now, but judging from Chief Li's attitude, it shouldn't be a bad thing, so there's no need to worry too much.

In the end, Lin Mo and An Youyu sat opposite Li Hongxiang.

Soon, one exquisite dish after another was served on the table. After the maid left, Lin Yi took out a jar of fine wine that he had treasured for many years and poured a glass for Li Hongxiang. "Try it. I usually can't bear to drink this wine. It's only because of you that I would serve it to anyone else."

The air was filled with the mellow aroma of wine. Li Hongxiang took a sniff and said, flattered, "Brother Lin, could this be the wine from many years ago?"

"Otherwise what? There's only one jar in the whole world, no, there's only half a jar left now. Just have a taste, don't drink too much, or I'll feel bad."

Li Hongxiang refused decisively, "Haha, that won't do. I've finally got this chance, I'm going to have a few more drinks tonight."

Lin Mo stared at the wine jar in front of him with curiosity, examining it closely.

The wine that was so treasured by my grandfather and Li Hongxiang must be something extraordinary.

Smelling the aroma of wine in the air, he secretly swallowed and silently pushed the wine glass in front of him towards his grandfather.

This action left Lin Yi completely bewildered. "What are you doing?"

Lin Mo blinked, "I'll try some too."

Lin Yi was immediately stunned, then laughed and scolded, "You're quite the opportunist, aren't you? Do you even know what kind of wine this is?"

Lin Mo shook his head honestly, "I don't know. That's precisely why I want to try it. I'll find out once I try it."

"No."

Lin Yi flatly refused, saying, "It would be a waste to give you such a fine wine."

"You won't give me a drink, huh?"

Lin Mo grabbed An Youyu's hand and pointed to the door. "Grandpa, if you don't give me a drink, Xiaoyu and I will leave right now."

Li Hongxiang kicked Lin Yi under the table. "Brother Lin, these two are the main characters. If they leave, my business won't be able to proceed. Hurry up and pour Lin Mo a drink."

"Me? Pour him a glass?"

Lin Yi's face twitched, and he glared at his grandson with annoyance. "Xiao Mo, you're quite the opportunist, aren't you?"

Lin Mo chuckled dryly, "Grandpa, you can't blame me for this. I learned these tricks from my mom."

Lin Shu: "..."

Fuck!

She didn't say or do anything, so how did they put the blame on her?

Everyone else is a burden to their father, but this kid is a burden to his mother!

Lin Yi glanced at his eldest daughter and said, "Xiao Shu, teach your child some good things in the future, and don't pass on all your bad habits to Xiao Mo."

Lin Shu: "..."

She was wronged!

Lin Mo rubbed his hands together, picked up the wine jar, poured himself a cup, smelled it, and his mind cleared up.

This made him marvel inwardly; this wine…

It’s a bit awesome!

Without hesitation, he poured An Youyu a glass. He wouldn't forget An Youyu when he encountered something so good.

Seeing Lin Mo pour her a glass of wine, An Youyu's eyes widened. She tugged at his sleeve under the table and whispered, "Why did you pour me wine? I don't drink."

Lin Mo glanced at his grandfather's dark face and said with a smile, "Try it, this wine is good. I'm reluctant to drink it myself, but I certainly won't be stingy with it if you drink it."

"Grandpa, don't you think so?"

The moment An Youyu's gaze fell upon him, Lin Yi's expression changed, and he nodded with a smile, saying, "Of course, if Yu'er wants to drink, I can give her half a jar of wine without any problem."

Li Hongxiang coughed, "Brother Lin, could you share half with me?"

Lin Yi smirked and pointed at An Youyu to his left, "She's my future granddaughter-in-law, and what are you?"

“I am… the chief of the Senate!”

"It's not my business?"

"..."

Li Hongxiang's aged face was filled with speechlessness. He shook his head and sighed, "Brother Lin, only you dare to treat me like this. The two from the Leng family and the Shen family would never dare to speak to me like this."

Lin Yi smiled. "They are them, and I am me."

Li Hongxiang chuckled softly, looking at Lin Mo's put-down wine glass with a puzzled expression. "Didn't you want to try it?"

Lin Mo spread his hands, "Don't we have something to talk about later? We should finish talking first before we drink."

Li Hongxiang took a bite of food. "They're quite particular. Alright, there are no outsiders here, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm here today for Moyu Technology's MY battery technology. Can this technology be submitted to the Academy of Sciences?"

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised. He wasn't surprised by Li Hongxiang's purpose, but rather by Li Hongxiang's directness.

"MY Battery Technology?"

Xu Yanshu and Lin Shu exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Li Hongxiang is a figure of immense stature, yet he made a special late-night visit for MY battery technology, demonstrating that this technology is far more important than they imagined.

"Chief Li..."

"Don't rush to answer. Let me tell you what my conditions are."

"can."

Seeing Li Hongxiang say this, Lin Mo did not refuse. His eyes showed a bit of curiosity. He also wanted to know what kind of compensation the Elders' Council would offer in order to obtain the MY battery technology.

Li Hongxiang smiled confidently, “There are two aspects: a cash compensation of 100 billion yuan, and 50% of the subsequent dividends. In the future, any electronic device using this technology will be subject to corresponding patent fees, making it like a money-printing machine that never stops until a better technology emerges.”

"In addition, the Senate is prepared to give you a piece of land."

"A piece of land?"

Lin Mo wasn't surprised by the cash compensation and profit sharing; instead, he was very interested in the second compensation. "Chief Li, could you elaborate?"

“There is an industrial park under construction in the eastern suburbs of the capital, that’s the land.”

Upon hearing Li Hongxiang's answer, Lin Mo's eyes widened. "Chief Li, are you saying that the entire industrial park that's being demolished and rebuilt in the eastern suburbs is for me?"

"Correct."

Li Hongxiang nodded without hesitation, “MY’s battery technology is very advanced. The emergence of this technology can completely shake up the existing level of technology. To be honest, we have gained a lot in this matter, so we should show our sincerity.”

“Not only will you have that piece of land in the eastern suburbs, but I can also make you a promise: you can have someone design it, and you won’t need to pay for the subsequent construction and expenses; the Elders’ Council will cover it all.”

"how?"

Lin Moqing couldn't help but gasp.

The conditions offered by Li Hongxiang far exceeded his expectations.

Compared to the land in the eastern suburbs, the 10 billion yuan cash compensation pales in comparison, and it also provides subsequent construction and funding.

This……

That shows real sincerity!

Chapter 780 Betting Agreement

"The compensation offered was very good, and I was very tempted by it."

Lin Mo smiled, then suddenly changed the subject, "However, Chief Li, I have one more condition, and I hope you can agree to it."

Within reasonable limits, it's neither shameful nor excessive to strive for the maximum benefit for oneself.

After all, it's the Elders' Council that wants MY battery technology, so it's only natural that they would make some reasonable demands.
