Lu Feng called a meeting with all the senior executives and, based on the previous risk prevention measures, further strengthened them by splitting up the outsourcing company, transferring key personnel to the new company, and finding some unimportant people to take the fall.
Of course, the various authorities aren't fools. To resolve this crisis, the fundamental solution is to start with the leadership. Money must be spent where necessary. There's a famous saying in the business world: smart businessmen only earn limited profits, because those who try to monopolize the profits will be killed.
At 1 p.m., market supervision officials apprehended one of the Jiafeng Electronics team members in a banquet hall of a five-star hotel, seizing and sealing the products on site on charges of false advertising and illegal assembly.
Less than an hour later, the Edinburgh City Council shut down another Jiafeng Electronics team that was conducting promotional activities in the city, citing the same reason.
The phone kept ringing. Teams across the UK were getting into trouble one after another. Lu Feng's face was grim. Standing at the office door, he said in a deep voice, "Notify all teams to suspend all business activities. Any ongoing activities that haven't been investigated yet should be turned into social gatherings to cooperate with any local departments that come to inspect."
One phone call after another was made. All the senior executives in the office had gloomy expressions, and the entire large office was terribly oppressive. It seemed that everyone's hard work over such a long period of time was going to be in vain.
The head of the outsourcing company walked in and whispered to Lu Feng, "The core members have completed their resignation procedures, and now there are less than fifty people left. We have found someone."
"Have they arrived?" Lu Feng asked.
The person in charge brought over a British man in his forties. He was in his forties, had a big beard, and looked somewhat disheveled. He looked at Lu Feng with a flustered expression, clearly a poor man living in poverty.
"What do you do at the company?" Lu Feng asked.
"I was in charge of stage setup and such, mainly doing odd jobs backstage," he replied.
"The company has been treating you very well lately, hasn't it?" Lu Feng asked again.
He nodded. This job was definitely good for him; it wasn't demanding, and the pay was quite good.
“As you know, our company is good at creating miracles, and we’re fair to everyone. You have the potential to become rich overnight, and I have high hopes for you. Right now, the company might run into some problems. If you’re willing to help me with this, I’m willing to consider you my brother. Don’t live an ordinary life. Doing odd jobs is a job that doesn’t involve much risk-taking. Just nod your head, and the next second you’ll be the chairman of the company!” Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, “You’ll get a monthly salary of five thousand pounds. If the police arrest you, I’ll compensate you with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds.”
He looked at Lu Feng with some hesitation.
“You’re already so old, do you have any other hope for your life? Take a gamble, you won’t be in jail for long, at most half a year. After you come out, you’ll have everything. Maybe you’ll only be detained for a few days, but you can still get tens of thousands of pounds. I’ll give you five seconds to think about it!” Lu Feng didn’t intend to waste any more words. If it didn’t work out, he would find someone else.
The man thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Take him away and replace him as the actual controller of the company!" Lu Feng ordered the person next to him.
At 4 p.m., the quality inspection, market supervision and tax authorities conducted a joint enforcement action, sealing off the outsourcing company on the spot, and also intend to investigate Jiafeng Electronics, an affiliated company.
Lu Feng was prepared for this thorough investigation and looked at Manager Li, asking, "How much cash can you come up with now?"
"Cash?" Manager Li didn't know what he wanted to do. After thinking for a moment, he said, "One or two million, but there's a bank downstairs, so it'll be convenient to withdraw money."
"How much can you take? It would be best to take out ten million and put it all in my office," Lu Feng instructed.
Manager Li didn't know why, but he had no choice but to comply.
An hour later, law enforcement personnel filled the office area across several floors. Everyone left their posts, and Lu Feng, as the company's head, presented various business licenses and customs documents. A large pile of documents was laid out on his desk, and he checked them all.
After confirming that everything was in order, one of the white men, who appeared to be a bureau chief, walked over and asked Lu Feng, "What is your relationship with Reggs Sales Company?"
"It's a cooperative relationship. Here are all the contracts. We entrust them with the sales of our products, they guarantee us sales volume, and we guarantee them exclusive agency rights in the market," Lu Feng replied.
Who is the actual controller of this company?
“It’s a man named Hunter. I’ve met him twice, but I don’t know him very well,” Lu Feng replied.
"Hehehe!" He chuckled disdainfully. As the person in charge of this joint law enforcement operation, he was an expert at investigating such companies. He said, "He only became the actual controller of Reggs Sales Company this afternoon. You had already been in contact with him for months? Besides, how did he suddenly become the boss from being a general manager?"
Lu Feng wasn't in a hurry after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Please come into the office. I'll talk to you about this slowly. There's no rush. We're not going to run away."
The bureau chief squinted at Lu Feng, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Lu Feng's office. He pushed open the door, and the floor, sofa, and table inside were all covered with money, which was quite shocking at first glance.
"Please come in. This is our company's decor. Feel free to step on the floor; it's called 'bringing wealth with your feet.' This sofa is for our distinguished guests. The backrest isn't just a cushion; it's backed by two million pounds—'backed by a mountain of gold.' Please have a seat!"
As Lu Feng spoke, he subtly observed the reaction of the person in front of him. Clearly, the person was extremely shocked. How many people could withstand such a sight?
