Lu Feng had no time to think about anything else and followed the waiter upstairs to the second floor. Meanwhile, the people watching the football babes outside learned about Jiafeng Electronics for the first time.
Everyone here is a respectable person. The circle is only so big, and everyone knows who has some dirty secrets. It's not appropriate to gossip about it here. Lu Feng's appearance gave everyone a common topic, and they stood together and chatted.
The first floor is brightly lit and resplendent, while the second floor is slightly dim. The floor is covered with wool carpets with intricate patterns. The hallway has a high ceiling, about six or seven meters high, making people feel quite small. The sides are decorated with typical medieval murals and lamps.
After walking a few dozen meters forward, around the corner was a large solid wood door. Two waiters stood at the door, their bodies ramrod straight. When they saw Lu Feng and Sean approaching, they bowed slightly, and the other waiter knocked on the door and went in to announce their arrival.
“This place is like a palace!” Lu Feng said to Sean in a low voice, looking at the surrounding decorations.
“That’s normal. That’s the kind of prestige they want. This floor is probably specifically for receiving leaders. With this kind of presence, who wouldn’t like it?” Sean said in a low voice, “Regardless of East or West, money is never the ultimate goal. It’s power.”
Lu Feng deeply agreed with this statement. Su Yourong was rich back then, and she also spent a lot of money to build a manor, making it look like a palace. The places where those rich people lived all had high ceilings and tall gates, and some even had thresholds that were knee-high.
After waiting for about a minute, the door opened, and the waiter came out, saying, "Please come in!"
Lu Feng strode in. John was sitting on a separate sofa, with two men in their sixties sitting next to him, smoking cigars. Opposite them were three men in their fifties, their hair slightly gray, but full of energy. Judging from their demeanor, they had definitely held high positions for many years, and they had an air of being bossy.
"You've arrived? Let me introduce you." John hurriedly stood up and introduced to everyone, "This is Mr. Lu Feng, the founder of Jiafeng Electronics Group and an important investment of our group. Mr. Lu has always admired you both very much, and it is a great honor to meet you both today."
“This is Mr. Harry!” John introduced the man to his left, then looked at the tall man next to him and said, “This is Mr. Brice.”
"Greetings, gentlemen. It is an honor to meet you both today. I am new to your country and am quite impressed by the prosperity of this developed nation. I have been to many developed countries, but in terms of customs, commerce, and markets, your country is far behind Britain. In fact, I believe that your country is among the world's best in these areas in Europe. I am sure that your wisdom and efforts have contributed to these achievements," Lu Feng flattered.
The two laughed when they heard this, which lightened the atmosphere considerably. Who could resist a foreigner's recognition of their work?
John finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Lu Feng, who had never seen anything like this before, wouldn't know how to speak, but now it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
“It seems Mr. Lu understands these feelings all too well. I’ve also experienced it firsthand. After doing business in so many countries around the world, I understand that the difference in the ability of the person in charge is really huge.” Sean chimed in from the side, looking at the two of them and saying, “We meet again. I’d like to say hello to you both.”
“Mr. Sean seems to be doing well lately, even more energetic than me.” Harry took a puff of his cigar and said with a smile, “Please sit down, Sean is an old friend, no need to be reserved, this is just a casual get-together.”
Lu Feng and Sean sat down, and their conversation revolved around international business matters, changes in commerce within the EU or internationally, and sometimes gossip. The conversation was quite lighthearted, and Sean was clearly suited to this kind of setting, occasionally mentioning Jia Feng in a friendly way.
Brice placed the cigar in the ashtray beside him and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "How long has your company been here? Sean just said it's doing well?"
“We only started developing our business here this year, but the UK market is so good, and we’re doing quite well. We currently have over 50,000 agents. However, our development has recently hit a snag, which is a real headache. It might be affecting some businesses, but we will overcome it. In such a regulated market environment, we will never leave easily.” Lu Feng looked troubled, but after speaking, he looked at the two of them with a touch of sincerity and said, “I don’t understand your society and rules, but I know one truth: allowing capable people to rise in the ranks is beneficial to the country, to the world, and to humanity.”
"Hahahaha!" Harry laughed, looking at Lu Feng and saying, "You're so young, but you have quite a broad perspective, talking about the whole world and all of humanity. We two are insignificant."
“You two are insignificant? That’s an insult to us. Over the years, there have been tremendous changes in market regulation and customs import and export.” Sean said from the side, “I have personally witnessed the whole process of improvement. Even companies like Jiafeng came here because of your efforts. There’s a saying that beautiful houses always attract beautiful women.”
The others echoed this sentiment, and for a moment the room reeked of farts.
Brice was in an indescribably pleasant mood. If the others in the room thought he was going to take another step up, he would think it was just flattery. But Lu Feng was an outsider, so this kind of flattery was different. It was as if he had received the affirmation of all mankind.
John helped by taking pictures, and the atmosphere of the conversation was exceptionally good. Seeing that the situation was about right, Lu Feng said, "It's a pity that I can't vote, otherwise I would definitely vote for you. I can only do what I can. We Easterners have a saying, 'A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water.' You have created such a good market environment, which is truly a blessing for all mankind!"
