Daxia will not allow private enterprises to dominate the market.
It will also not be allowed for the size of these assets to exceed the scope of official control.
The Jiang Group's assets are now almost at their limit. If he were to acquire Baogeli as well...
At that time, the excessively large size of the Jiang Group will inevitably attract the attention of the authorities.
This is not necessarily a good thing for Lu Fan and the Jiang Group.
"Money is something you only need enough to spend; there's no need to hoard so much!"
"The reason we want to take over Baogeli this time is entirely due to concerns about the safety of the Jiang Group in the future."
"They broke the balance first, and I don't want to see things happen that I don't want to see."
After explaining his plan, Lu Fan continued to play the emotional card.
It wasn't to gain Hua Feng's empathy, nor was there any need to evoke his empathy.
He said this mainly to dispel Hua Feng's concerns.
After all, it's really not good to give money to the government without a legitimate reason.
And this legitimate reason ultimately required Hua Feng's idea, and it had to go through his hands to be completed.
"You little rascal, put away your little schemes!"
"Stop beating around the bush!"
Hua Feng said in a relaxed tone.
Although it will still involve me, the meaning is completely different now than before.
If Lu Fan wanted to cooperate with him, he would have to use some underhanded means to acquire Baogeli.
That would just lead to accusations of collusion between officials and businessmen.
If you are caught by someone with ulterior motives and gossiped about, you might ruin your reputation in your later years.
After all, the official channels are much more complex than those in the shopping malls; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as unfathomable.
After so many years of hard work and dedication, I've finally reached the age where I'm about to retire.
If the ship capsizes in the end, all the efforts of the first half of my life will have been wasted.
He wouldn't dare gamble.
"Uncle Hua, there's no rush. You can think about it."
Lu Fan saw through Hua Feng's thoughts and didn't continue speaking.
"There's still plenty of time, no rush, come on, let's drink!"
At this moment, Dong Haotian also stood up, holding a wine glass.
Since he was the one who made the connection, it was natural for him to step forward and ease the tension.
However, it must be said that Lu Fan is indeed a person destined for greatness.
Putting everything else aside, the act of selling off Baogeli's shares alone deserves Dong Haotian's approval.
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
This statement is equally applicable here.
This is especially true for those who control most of the official economic resources.
At this stage, it's no longer very meaningful to talk about how much money you make.
For them, money may just be a number.
They are more concerned about the company's continued development; only in this way can they be worthy of a lifetime of hard work.
The ultimate goal of a company's continued development is inevitably to have intricate connections with the government.
If one can align oneself with the authorities, as long as one doesn't do anything reckless, there will be no worries whatsoever.
Sitting to the side, Jiang Hetang's eyes were full of admiration for Lu Fan.
He had worked hard for half his life and built the Jiang Group from scratch, so he knew all too well.
No matter how the Jiang Group develops, it will ultimately be unable to escape the limitations of a private enterprise.
Just as Lu Fan said, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow. When a private enterprise grows to a certain size, it will inevitably be suppressed.
With a shrewd and exceptionally capable leader like Lu Fan, the group can still shine.
But no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.
Moreover, the market economy is constantly changing, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
If Lu Fan's plan succeeds, it will be a major breakthrough for the Jiang Group.
The gap between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises is not small.
That's what you call a big company.
The projects that state-owned enterprises rejected or didn't want were the ones that allowed most private companies to make a fortune.
It can even lead to a huge leap for enterprises; that's the difference.
Hua Feng didn't say anything more, and tonight's matter was considered closed.
However, this does not mean that the matter is over.
On the contrary, perhaps now is just the beginning.
Who in a high position wouldn't want to accomplish something spectacular? Hua Feng is no exception.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked accepting Dong Haotian's invitation.
They hoped to resolve the economic dispute between the Jiang Group and Baogeli.
For him, this was a considerable political achievement.
That would be enough to get Hua Feng's name on the tax office's wall of honor.
However, what Lu Fan is saying now, if it really succeeds...
For Hua Feng personally, this is no longer something that can be summarized as mere political achievements.
He knew very well that Baogeli's annual revenue was at least 50 to 60 billion a year.
If he actually facilitated this, it would mean that he single-handedly brought in tens of billions of dollars in revenue for the official treasury.
However, Lu Fan's idea was far too audacious, and his actions were undeniably ambitious.
Assets worth hundreds of billions of yuan are being sold off so easily, which makes Huafeng cautious.
He still needs to carefully consider this matter; being tempted is one thing, but the other is another.
It is precisely in times like these that we must remain calm.
However, Hua Feng's thoughts have now shifted from initial worry to a subtle anticipation.
Between pushing cups and placing goblets.
Before we knew it, we were eating a meal late into the night.
The three bottles of Guojiao Special Supply were completely drunk, and Dong Haotian then took out two jars of Laojiao from his own wine cellar.
