There were many people present, but only Sean knew that Lu Feng was about to leave. Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Siemens and Nokia on their continued success, and then wished Jia Feng all the best in his development in Europe.
The Siemens team leader felt this moment was quite memorable, so he hired a photographer to take a photo of them raising their glasses. Years later, this photo circulated on the internet, and with the help of marketing accounts, Lu Feng in the photo became known as a conman of the century. They filled in various exaggerated stories to make Lu Feng seem like a master conman.
Ultimately, it all boils down to greed. If you're not greedy, you won't be fooled. This deception lasted until mid-1997. Siemens saw Nokia's rise to prominence and its plan to gradually erode Nokia's dominance fell through. Only when Siemens went to sell its shares with the contract did it realize it had been cheated. This incident shocked the whole of Europe.
At that time, Elmi, who was the executive president of the group's business division, resigned to take responsibility. Her father insisted that he did not know Lu Feng and pushed all the problems onto Lu Feng. However, he was still convicted of contract fraud and imprisoned.
At Shenzhen International Airport, Zhang Fengxia arrived with her suitcase. Before leaving, she called home to tell her parents that she was going abroad for further studies, which would probably take two or three years. As for marriage, she still felt that it was her own business and that she could decide who to be with and what kind of life to live.
Zhang Fengxia's father sounded disappointed on the other end of the phone, and the call was cut off before he could even give her a scolding.
As Zhang Fengxia boarded a connecting flight to Paris, she looked out at the gray sky and felt a little heavy-hearted. The years she had lived felt like a dream, and on this somewhat depressing day, it was all over.
She would see Lu Feng in a few days, but she felt no joy at all. She was at a crossroads in her life, and there was nothing in her heart but confusion. She had run away from home to work for Lu Feng, and now she was running away from home again, embarking on the road to go abroad.
Zhang Fengxia kept thinking about why she was always unhappy despite having more than the average person, while the other female workers in the factory were much happier than her.
Why is it that when other women firmly choose one person, they can be firmly chosen by another, while I am like a flower swaying in a storm?
She wanted to end the relationship; it was too exhausting. It felt like guarding an ending without a conclusion, or waiting for a novel that would never be finished.
Sitting next to her was a girl in her late twenties, wearing a dress and looking rather simple and honest. She had a curious look on her face and was looking around, clearly it was her first time flying.
"Hello!" She greeted Zhang Fengxia shyly, then excitedly shared, "I'm starting a new life. I'm transiting through the US to work. Are you going to the US too?"
"I'm flying to Paris after my layover." Zhang Fengxia finished speaking and sat there motionless. She even thought to herself that she shouldn't have gone to Paris and that she should never see that person again so that she could start a new life.
"Paris is great! Do people there not speak English? I've been learning English lately. My cousin owns a restaurant in Los Angeles, and they say you can earn a thousand dollars a month washing dishes there." The girl was very talkative and had many things she wanted to verify with Zhang Fengxia, so she kept chattering away.
Zhang Fengxia remained silent, only looking outside, her mind in turmoil.
As the plane took off, her thoughts became increasingly chaotic.
Too many people in this world are hesitant about relationships. Everyone who hasn't been in a relationship thinks that if they're unhappy, they can just cut ties. But only those who are in the relationship realize that not everyone has the heart to make that decisive cut.
One after another, funds were transferred into the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Wei Yandan looked at the recent financial statements and couldn't hide her joy. With the completion of the interim financial report, the finance department briefly informed the board members of some data. The profits in the first half of the year were definitely satisfactory to the board.
At the headquarters meeting, both Wei Yandan and Zhu Lidong were extremely impressed with Lu Feng's ability to make money. They could even say that Lu Feng had been single-handedly earning money to support the company all these years.
With the popularization of VCDs, pirated DVDs began to explode. Although piracy was rampant, Jiafeng's entertainment business actually increased its revenue.
The domestic television market has entered a mature stage, and the era of foreign companies' dominance has come to an end. Lu Feng's emergence brought this home appliance war to a close two years ahead of schedule. The only difference from the previous life is that Panda TV declared bankruptcy this year, a full ten years earlier.
As Jiafeng expanded overseas, companies like Changhong and Konka also began to establish a presence in surrounding impoverished countries. Under Jiafeng's disruptive influence, the price of pagers quickly entered the era of two thousand yuan.
Jiafeng is like a catfish in a fishpond. If other fish don't work hard, they will be completely ruined by this company. This year, Jiafeng has received many national honors, and Lu Feng himself has been awarded the title of Pioneer of Reform of the Times.
Lu Feng's emergence advanced China's manufacturing industry by several years, but only in home appliance manufacturing, semiconductors, and communication-related technologies. Larger-scale technological barriers remained largely ineffective.
Two days later, Lu Feng met with John before leaving and rejected the board's plan to distribute dividends at the end of the year. He also urged John to expedite the private jet project, saying that Lu Feng didn't want a new one, otherwise who knows how long it would take.
Lu Feng didn't have much stuff; he packed almost everything into one suitcase. He didn't take anything from his office. Lu Feng told the company that he was going to check on the branch office and would return in half a month. In the morning, he also held a meeting for the entire management team, and everyone shouted the slogan of "growing bigger and stronger".
