Those present then understood some of the hidden secrets.
Even if Hua Feng were sitting right here, there are some things he couldn't do.
Only Jiang Hetang and Dong Haotian heard different points.
Compared to the conventional methods Lu Fan mentioned, Jiang Hetang knew better that the most crucial thing was the so-called information.
This is the umpteenth time that information has been provided to Lu Fan by his so-called friend.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has connections to the highest levels of society.
Lu Fan looked at his father-in-law, Jiang Hetang, and smiled slightly.
"Uncle Hua, the reason I asked Uncle Dong to invite you out today is actually for this matter."
"I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."
As Lu Fan spoke, he picked up his wine glass and sat down next to Hua Feng.
"This deal is off!"
Hua Feng refused without even thinking.
Collusion between officials and businessmen is a major taboo, especially for someone in one's position, who should absolutely not engage in such collusion.
Otherwise, the economic market in the south of the city would be in complete chaos.
Some people in the tax office also run small shops or companies on the side.
Although he knew, he turned a blind eye.
After all, minor incidents don't have much impact and don't concern me much, so I don't bother with them.
But now Lu Fan still wants to cooperate with me directly, isn't that a joke?
One is the world's richest man, and the other is a big shot in the economic market of Nancheng.
If these two were to collude, it wouldn't be a small-scale affair.
It's not far off, even if it doesn't turn the tide.
"Uncle Hua, it's not too late to make a decision after you've heard what I have to say!"
"Of course I know the impact of this matter, but I must have my reasons for saying this."
As he spoke, Lu Fan reached out and clinked his wine glass against Hua Feng's.
"What the economy of Nancheng and even the entire Great Xia needs is nothing more than balanced and stable development."
“I know that my little bit of money is nothing in the eyes of the authorities.”
"But the authorities can't allow me to have a monopoly."
Lu Fan swirled the wine around his neck and slowly expressed his views.
What he said was true; both Hua Feng and any one of them knew it.
"Knowing that you still attacked Bulgari? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Hua Feng snorted; he still had some goodwill towards this ambitious young man.
From his perspective, he shouldn't have said these things, since they had nothing to do with him and he couldn't make any decisions.
If it weren't for that bit of goodwill, and out of respect for Dong Haotian, he would have already gotten up and left.
"Uncle Hua, I swear to God, they were the ones who attacked the Jiang Group first!"
"I had no choice. If I didn't do something, the Jiang Group would fall into my hands, and how could I face my father-in-law like that!"
Lu Fan also directly played the emotional card.
There's also the right to self-defense under the law, since they've already come knocking on your door.
If we don't do something, wouldn't we lose face?
Hua Feng merely glanced at Lu Fan's words.
He couldn't believe that a young man who had built such a large-scale business would be so disregard for the bigger picture.
Furthermore, the previous suppression of Pinduoduo and Mihoyo by Baogeli did not cause Lu Fan any loss.
It even allowed him to make a small profit.
They haven't suffered any losses, yet they're still talking about these things.
It was merely Lu Fan using his youthful impetuosity as an excuse to launch a high-sounding attack on Baogeli.
But he knew there was nothing he could do. No matter what business tactics Lu Fan used, these were not things he should be concerned about.
If he broke the law, the police would naturally come looking for Lu Fan.
Stop beating around the bush and just say what you have to say!
Hua Feng felt like he was about to burst into tears. In all his years of life, he had rarely felt this way.
He felt extremely uneasy and had to carefully consider Lu Fan's words.
I was afraid that I would get caught up in it if I wasn't careful.
During this time, I also kept an eye on things and glanced around.
For some reason, he suddenly regretted coming to the dinner party tonight.
I had originally hoped to find Lu Fan and resolve this matter privately.
It seems that I've been caught in this kid's trap.
Lu Fan and the others noticed Hua Feng's little tricks.
As people get older, they really do become more timid, especially people like Hua Feng.
I'll be able to retire in a few years.
In the last two years, he had to be more careful.
"Uncle Hua, you don't need to worry so much. I won't engage in that kind of collusion between officials and businessmen, nor do I need to do those things."
"The reason I called you here tonight is not to discuss the acquisition of Bulgari."
Lu Fan knew what Hua Feng was worried about, and immediately dispelled Hua Feng's concerns.
As expected, after hearing Lu Fan's explanation, Hua Feng felt much relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"My main goal is to use your connections, Uncle Hua, to transfer 51% of Baogeli shares to the government free of charge..."
Hua Feng had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Fan's next sentence almost made him spit out his drink.
"Do you...do you know what you're saying?"
Hua Feng said irritably.
Putting everything else aside, this is still far from being realized.
This kid is already thinking about allocating other people's shares.
Isn't this a joke?
Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Baogeli's market value is second only to Jiang's Group.
A multi-billion dollar conglomerate is giving away its assets for free. What's the big deal? Are they just burning money?
Hua Feng couldn't quite keep up with Lu Fan's train of thought.
To be honest, he was a little worried just now, but he was worried that someone would use this as leverage against him, which would ruin his reputation in his later years.
As for now, he felt that Lu Fan's thought process was truly astonishing.
"Uncle Hua, I'm definitely going to take Baogeli, you don't need to worry about that."
"As for transferring 51% of Baogeli's shares to the government free of charge, I also have my own considerations."
"I think you can understand me about this!"
Lu Fan didn't say it directly; there were some things that were inconvenient to say.
Rather than having superiors watching him and regarding the Jiang Group as a thorn in their side, he decided to stay away from them.
Lu Fan might as well just take out the Baogeli and let the authorities take control.
This binds the Jiang Group and the Great Xia Group together.
Although it sounds like he suffered a great loss, from a long-term development perspective, it is entirely beneficial to the Jiang Group.
Moreover, Lu Fan's current focus is on overseas markets, and with Great Xia protecting him domestically, he doesn't need to worry at all.
"You...you little rascal!"
Hua Feng pondered for a moment and couldn't help but admire Lu Fan's vision.
Indeed, those who can build a large and successful enterprise all possess keen insight.
The way they solve problems is also simple and crude.
Anyway, Baogeli isn't Lu Fan's property. Using someone else's assets as a rope to tie the Jiang Group to the government is pointless.
That's a brilliant plan!
