My mother-in-law is remarrying and wants my family's assets as dowry. Die!

However, Ding Yuxin quickly shook her head, as there was almost no room for maneuver.

Because the premise of bid rigging is that all bidders are actually controlled by one bidder.

Ding Yuxin could not completely control the bidders participating in this auction, or even any of them.

So this method is obviously not going to work?

Seeing Ding Yuxin's increasingly puzzled look, Lin Jun's contempt grew stronger.

Such an idiot, and her father dared to let her take over the business? Dingfeng Group will be finished sooner or later!

Lin Jun then offered further bait: "I can tell President Ding a story. I wonder if President Ding would be willing to listen?"

Ding Yuxin understood that Lin Jun was about to get to the most crucial point, and of course she was willing to listen.

Seeing Ding Yuxin's affirmative reply, Lin Jun smiled and asked, "Do you know the difference between collecting taxes from the wealthy and the poor in ancient times?"

Ding Yuxin really lacked knowledge in this area, and shook her head.

Lin Jun knew she didn't know, that she lacked knowledge in this area, so she explained: "The taxes collected from the wealthy gentry will all be returned to them. Then, since the wealthy gentry took the lead in paying taxes, the poor will have no choice but to follow suit. The taxes collected from the poor can then be divided between the wealthy gentry and the poor in a 30/70 split."

Ding Yuxin was stunned for a full two minutes before she suddenly realized what was going on.

Her face betrayed her excitement: "I understand what President Lin means. He wants me to lead the way by bidding high prices during the auction, which will drive the price up. Then we'll distribute the premium proportionally. Am I right?"

Lin Jun is a very cautious person, and smiled slightly.

Seeing Lin Jun's reaction, Ding Yuxin knew she was right.

But her smile quickly faded, and she asked very seriously, "President Lin, since you intend for me to be this shill, what proportion should the profits be distributed? And how can we ensure I get the technology from Fengshu Technology that I want? What kind of measures should we take to enforce our agreement?"

Lin Jun did not directly answer Ding Yuxin's three questions: "President Ding, this matter depends on your trust in me. I've already explained the proportions, and as for the so-called technology, it's already in my hands!"

Ding Yuxin could only fill in the blanks in Lin Jun's mind, thinking that Lin Jun wanted seven while she wanted three.

This ratio is reasonable, considering that Lin Jun created the target and the opportunity, and I am just a shill. For a shill to get a 30% cut of the premium is honestly not low.

Could it be that Lin Jun wanted to leak the so-called technology to me in private?

Lin Jun certainly has this condition!

Of course, if Lin Jun is willing to do this, whether Ding Yuxin can actually control Fengshu Technology Company becomes completely irrelevant.

It seems that Lin Jun was forced into a corner, which is why he did this!

However, Lin Jun did not mention signing an agreement with him to bind their cooperation.

Instead, he said that the whole thing should be based on trust in Lin Jun!

Does all of this have to be based on verbal agreements?

Ding Yuxin felt that she could not accept this!

In the business world, Ding Yuxin has always had her own principles, which is that everything must be put in writing and signed and stamped to be valid.

But now it's just a verbal promise from Lin Jun, and it's even a bit vague.

Ding Yuxin simply couldn't believe it!

She remained silent for a minute before speaking: "Mr. Lin, I don't mean to distrust you at all. I have always had great respect for your character. However, Mr. Lin said that all cooperation is based on my trust in you. Anything else is too vague. If we are truly going to cooperate, after I show my sincerity, Mr. Lin should also show his sincerity. Shouldn't we solidify the foundation of our cooperation?"

Lin Jun did not respond immediately, but instead tapped her fingers lightly on the surface of her desk.

Ding Yuxin felt as if every time Lin Jun tapped the table, it was as if he was tapping her heart.

She didn't understand what Lin Jun meant. Was it a rejection?

This rich second-generation heiress was really losing her composure: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Jun remained silent, but stopped tapping on the table.

Ding Yuxin became even more impatient: "President Lin, if you feel there's anything wrong with my suggestion, please feel free to point it out. I think our cooperation needs constant refinement to be perfect. This benefits both of us; it's a win-win situation!"

Lin Jun felt it was about time before speaking: "President Ding, you should understand my predicament. If we cooperate in the future, it can only be based on trust; nothing else is possible!"

Ding Yuxin did not expect Lin Jun to reject her so bluntly!

"Why couldn't it be possible?" Ding Yuxin found it extremely incomprehensible. "Signing an agreement that only the two of us know about is a guarantee for President Lin, and it's also a guarantee for me. I can't think of any reason why President Lin would refuse!"

Lin Jun then lightly tapped the table again: "President Ding, have you considered this? If I really sign this agreement with you, it might protect both of us, but once our cooperation is complete, this agreement will become a sword hanging over my head!"

Ding Yuxin finally realized that this Lin Jun was really not simple; he actually thought three steps ahead for every one step he took.

His meaning was very clear: after the auction, Ding Yuxin might use this agreement to blackmail Lin Jun. If Lin Jun did not agree to certain conditions, Ding Yuxin could leak the contents of the agreement to Lin Jun's investors.

Lin Jun's investors may use this as grounds to pursue legal action against Lin Jun!

This is indeed a very big concern for Lin Jun!

Ding Yuxin imagined this to be the end, and sighed softly to herself, wondering why she hadn't thought of this.

It seems I need to learn from Lin Jun, to think three steps ahead before taking any action, and to weigh all the pros and cons carefully!

However, Ding Yuxin felt she could still hold out a little longer: "President Lin, I understand your concerns, but you should also trust me. I would never betray you. I value my reputation above all else; I wouldn't risk the nearly fifty years of reputation our Dingfeng Group has built up."

Lin Jun shook his head firmly: "President Ding, this is the dilemma in our cooperation. I don't completely trust President Ding, and President Ding doesn't completely trust me either. So, President Ding can go back and reconsider my suggestion. After all, the auction isn't until tomorrow, so there's still time!"

Lin Jun was about to see his guest out. He wasn't worried about Ding Yuxin being a blabbermouth, because Ding Yuxin would never leak anything before she got what she wanted.

Even if someone spreads rumors everywhere, Lin Jun is not afraid at all, because he still has Yan Ran's sharpest knife in his hand!

Bribing Lin Jun's secretary to spy on Lin Jun's business secrets is a criminal offense!
