"You're absolutely right! You're getting more and more handsome!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
John's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the praise; it seemed that today's matter was quite significant.
We sat down and chatted about everyday things, whether we were adjusting well to the place, eating, drinking, and using the restroom. As the steak and other dishes arrived, we opened a bottle of red wine and started talking about serious matters.
“Mr. Lu, I won’t comment on some of your business strategies, but as things stand, your business layout isn’t very good right now. Cooperating with major distributors and channel partners would allow you to showcase your products to more users in a short period of time.” John tried to make sure his words weren’t harsh.
"I just feel that your current efficiency is a bit low. We can speed things up and try a different approach to business activities."
Lu Feng put a piece of beef in his mouth and chewed, saying, "My current plan is particularly good, and I've also spent a lot of money to hire a consultant. He's very capable. Don't worry, the board of directors may not be satisfied with the interim report this year, but the annual report will definitely be outstanding."
“Mr. Lu, some things are better left unsaid. Even in direct sales, you need to quickly establish a sales network, define the target audience for your products, and define your product positioning.” John really didn’t want to be too harsh.
“I know, I will try my best. Now, there’s a problem in front of me. Let me tell you, once this is solved, sales will skyrocket within six months. I guarantee it.” Lu Feng looked up at John and said, “If I can’t do it, I’ll walk away with my head down!”
John stared at Lu Feng expectantly, put down his knife and fork, took a deep breath and said, "Nobody wants to see you fail. I only want to see profits. Schroder Group isn't my family's business. I also have my own performance to show. I hope Mr. Lu isn't playing me for a fool."
“I’m not kidding you. You’ve solved this problem for me, and I guarantee you 100% that. In fact, this might even bring you a lot of benefits,” Lu Feng said earnestly.
"Okay, tell me what the problem is, and I'll try my best to solve it for you personally." John reluctantly compromised.
"Does the Schroder Group have a loan business?" Lu Feng asked.
“We are an investment group, and finance is a separate subsidiary. Do you need money?” John looked at Lu Feng with some suspicion. Could this guy be planning to borrow money from Europe and run away?
“I’m not short of money, but my brothers and sisters under me are!” Lu Feng said in a deep voice. “I need to help them get a loan. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just enough for a year or two of living expenses. See if you can help them out and try to get the interest rate as low as possible.”
"Your siblings?" John was puzzled. Lu Feng was so rich, why wasn't he willing to help his siblings?
“That’s right, but not relatives. They’re the people from the event I organized the other day. As long as we give them living expenses, I have a way to get them to sell my goods for free!” Lu Feng said with great certainty.
"No salary, we'll help you sell goods for free?" John's forehead was full of question marks. How could that be? Everyone isn't stupid. Why would they help him sell goods without making a single penny?
"right!"
“Every time I talk to you, I regret investing in you! Seriously, Lu!” John’s face darkened as he stared at Lu Feng and said, “Are you insulting the intelligence of the British?”
"It doesn't matter what nationality you are, it's all the same to me. Let me put it simply: I'll create a dream of getting rich quick, give that dream to them for free, then create successful people as role models, and then spread it among the masses, one to ten, ten to a hundred!" Lu Feng gave a brief introduction.
"Multi-level marketing?" John asked, squinting.
"No! Direct selling, from a legal perspective, there won't be any problems, because we actually have the goods, we actually get commissions, and everyone is an individual agent. It's just that I have a lot of agents," Lu Feng said earnestly.
John kept shaking his head. He couldn't imagine that Lu Feng had brought this stuff to Europe. Last year, some pyramid schemes had already come to Europe, and relevant laws were being drafted. However, according to the definition of pyramid schemes, his stuff didn't really count.
However, if he provides loans to impoverished people and then fails to find downstream agents, the lives of those people will be disastrous.
"They're already struggling to make ends meet. Don't you feel guilty doing this?"
“Having a conscience can make you money, but losing your conscience can make you even more!” Lu Feng leaned forward and whispered, “Theirs or your performance record, it’s your choice.”
