Sean hesitated. Money can be so easy to make sometimes. By being a fence-sitter, the more fiercely the two sides fight, the more money he makes. But at this moment, he was hesitant.
"The Schroder Group is not to be trifled with. To invest such a huge sum in a small company like Jiafeng is a huge gamble. Are they crazy?" Sean opened the folder belonging to Jiafeng. The first page contained detailed information about Jiafeng's board members. The more money invested, the higher the expectations for the company.
It's no exaggeration to say that Jiafeng is now a core member of Schroders' investment team. He's tripping up their precious asset. If it were a Wall Street firm, Sean wouldn't have much business there, so it wouldn't matter if he tripped them up. But London is his core.
He had to weigh the consequences of offending the Schroders Group, and more importantly, the consequences of angering John. Sean was a shrewd businessman with a very sophisticated ability to weigh the pros and cons; maximizing profits was his pursuit, not seeking thrills.
After a long silence, Sean sighed, pulled Jiafeng's file out of the folder, stuffed it into the shredder, and muttered, "You said you were a hoodlum, and I didn't really believe it at first, but now I see you really are a local thug. Nobody knows better than you when it comes to finding a backer. The most important thing in this world is having someone protecting you. You've played the game well!"
George probably won't understand why he lost until the company collapses. If he becomes Siemens' darling, Sean will never give up the money he's about to get.
At 11 a.m., Lu Feng glanced at the time difference and decided to call headquarters. Before this, Lu Feng had never thought about himself. All his food, supplies and expenses were borne by the company. His monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan, but he never cared. He was single-mindedly focused on making the company successful.
Now, Lu Feng is starting to think about putting something in his own pocket. No one knows what the future of the company will be like. If the worst happens, there's nothing that can be done. You can't let years of hard work go to waste.
After the call was connected, the secretary's office on the other end heard that it was Lu Feng calling and transferred it to Wei Yandan. It was dinner time in China at the time, and Wei Yandan was also surprised to hear that President Lu was calling her. He basically doesn't concern himself with internal affairs now, and if he wants to make a call, he calls Liu Cheng.
Wei Yandan was slightly puzzled, and answered the phone, "President Lu, what's the matter?"
"How's things going inside the company lately?" Lu Feng asked.
"Everything is stable internally, and overall profits in the first quarter were stable. The Tianjin plant has officially started operation. By the way, the group headquarters office building is expected to be topped out by the end of this year, and will be put into use by the end of 1997 at the latest." Wei Yandan briefly explained some of the company's situation.
According to the company's internal responsibilities and reporting requirements, Wei Yandan no longer needs to report any situation to Lu Feng; she only needs to report at board meetings.
"It's good that everything is stable. We still need to crack down on corruption in the factory area. You're the rotating president now, right?" Lu Feng asked.
"Yes, I just took it over from General Manager Zhu. It's just a title, nothing more. We'll just keep doing the same things as before," Wei Yandan said with a smile.
“There’s something I need to discuss. Our international business is expanding quite a bit right now, and we’ll be hosting some important guests, so we need to equip ourselves with a private jet. It’s not really appropriate for me to bring this up myself, so you should submit a budget proposal to the board of directors. Here’s my current plan: after we buy the private jet, we can resell it to me at a low price, and then I’ll lease it back to the company. When you propose this to the board, just say it’s your idea. What do you think of this?” Lu Feng asked.
"Forehead.........."
Wei Yandan hesitated for a moment; this was clearly a way of making her take the blame.
"If it's difficult, I'll talk to Zhu Lidong."
"No need, no need, I'll talk to the board of directors. Besides, with your current net worth, you really deserve a private jet." Wei Yandan hurriedly said, "I can handle this, don't worry."
"When purchasing aircraft, remember not to buy Boeing. It seems that there are more accidents around the world. Safety comes first. No matter how much money you make, it's meaningless if something happens."
"Yes, yes, I'll submit the application tomorrow!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Feng exchanged a few polite words and then hung up the phone.
