Lu Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said, "You don't really think such a high-profit business can last until the end of this year, do you?"
“Why not? You can go to other countries after you finish in the UK. There are so many countries in the world. Once the model is mature, it can be developed in two or three months. The profit model is very stable.” John’s voice on the other end of the phone was full of joy.
John is now extremely confident in Lu Feng's earning ability, even somewhat obsessed with it. Sometimes he fantasizes about making tens of billions of dollars by the end of the year using this model, and then using the dividends to get back the principal of the investment group, so he won't have to be under so much pressure.
John, a seasoned investor with decades of experience, would never have dared to dream of such a thing before. But Lu Feng's performance surprised him greatly. This method of "harvesting韭菜" (a metaphor for exploiting investors) was so sophisticated that it made him start to have wild fantasies as well.
Lu Feng almost burst out laughing when he heard this. Even if he made money, he would invest it in research and development. As for dividends? Apart from the annual dividends for management, he had never received any dividends.
"What do the people from Siemens want to talk to me about? Or rather, what do I have to talk to them about? The home appliance industry accounts for less than five percent of Siemens' total business, so why are they making such a big fuss about me? I don't really believe it's just for this little bit of money, and I certainly don't believe that a meeting can lead to an agreement." Lu Feng said into the phone, "Since the board of directors is willing to buy me a plane, then let's get it approved quickly. Ordering a plane is quite slow; if all else fails, we can buy a used one."
“You don’t need to worry about the private jet. As long as the business is stable, I’ll introduce you to it tonight. Anyway, let’s sit down and talk.” John was clearly very interested in this matter, as the profits involved were substantial. Not only him, but even the Schroders Group valued this money highly.
If Lu Feng can consistently profit from people around the world, he'll be a money-making machine. It won't be long before, with the cover of various stakeholders, this kind of income can continue for a year or two and make people green with envy.
"Alright!" Lu Feng reluctantly agreed.
Inside a luxurious office, Elmi, dressed in a gray suit, looked somewhat aloof. The small cinched waist of the suit accentuated her figure, making her appear quite alluring.
In the past year, Elmi has become a dazzling flower in the European business world. No matter what event she attends, she is always the focus of the camera. With her delicate features, golden hair, and tall stature, it is unknown how many suitors she has.
The outside world even praised her as the perfect combination of beauty and ability, but little did they know that Nokia's excellent product strength was supporting her.
"Don't talk to me about difficulties. I don't want to hear about your difficulties. Increase more channels, cooperate with local distributors and retailers in the short term, and completely open up the market. First, we need to make a profit. Use the local profits to build local sales channels. Do you understand?" Elmi glared at the group of executives in front of him and scolded them.
The manager standing in front looked troubled and said, "But the cooperation prices offered by these distributors are too high. We can't compete with Ericsson on price in the end market."
"Then figure out a solution! Are you just passing the problem on to me? Did headquarters send me down here to listen to your problems?" Elmi was extremely angry.
The people in front of her couldn't do anything but push the problems onto her. In the UK market, there were no cheaper distributors like Jiafeng, the terminal prices were too high and they lacked competitiveness, the brand wasn't considered good locally, and the headquarters was unwilling to invest more money. Under such circumstances, no one could help.
"How about we start a franchise model?" a white man in the front row suggested. "Free franchising, we can promise some empty promises, like rebates after sales reach a certain amount, which will stimulate some social capital to come in and help us sell!"
