Lu Feng sat on the sofa, pondering the lithography machine. This thing was not easy to buy. If people on the mainland tried to buy it, they might not sell it. This matter had to be entrusted to companies in Hong Kong.
The phone rang at home, and Lu Feng answered it, asking, "Who is it?"
"Brother Feng, it's me, Zhiyao!" Feng Zhiyao's voice came from the other end of the phone, asking anxiously, "You haven't been arrested, have you?"
"What do you think? You called my home phone!" Lu Feng said, somewhat speechless.
"I was so worried! I'm so glad you're alright. I was afraid you'd get arrested." Upon learning that Lu Feng was safe, Feng Zhiyao immediately thought that the company should be fine too, and asked, "Wasn't the company frozen?"
"No, don't worry, the company is operating normally. These things are just fabrications by the other side. The mainland won't arrest me just because they issue an extradition letter. After all, we are a country ruled by law. Tell Zhenkun and the others not to be too nervous," Lu Feng assured them.
Feng Zhiyao was in a great mood after hearing this and said happily, "I told you it was nothing. A group of people even had a meeting this afternoon to discuss this matter."
Although he didn't say what the meeting was about, Lu Feng guessed it and said into the phone, "Tell them not to worry. By the way, if you're not too busy lately, could you keep an eye out for something for me? Globally, could you keep an eye out for companies that sell lithography machines and related equipment, preferably the latest models that can produce millimeter-scale chips?"
"Okay, I'll ask around!"
"How's your dad doing lately?" Lu Feng asked casually.
“It’s not good. It’s the same problem as before. My health was already poor, and I was hospitalized again in May. This time it’s even more serious. I’m only being kept alive by machines. My eldest and second eldest brothers came back to visit me once, but I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult.” Feng Zhiyao was quite depressed when he talked about this.
“It will get better. You’re getting old. Are you in charge of the company now?” Lu Feng inquired.
"I guess so. On a large scale, there's Uncle Kun and several presidents, and above that, there's the board of directors. I'm just responsible for some financial business, which involves dealing with listed companies and issuing stocks, and so on."
"Work hard. You'd better hold onto Sun Hung Kai's shares. Use this time to purge the management team, find more people outside, and make sure they are familiar with the group's business." Lu Feng had originally planned to tell him this, and then gradually take control of the board of directors, but he felt that he didn't have the means to do so.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng leaned back on the sofa and pondered. If something really happened to Mr. Feng at this time, given Feng Zhiyao's abilities, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control the overall situation, and the board of directors might very well lose control.
Thinking about this, Lu Feng felt a bit annoyed. He couldn't control so much, so he would just go with the flow. Jiafeng was not a product of this era; it was unpredictable, and no one knew how it would develop in the future.
"Alright, stop pretending to write, go to sleep." Lu Feng stood up and said to Duo Duo, who was putting on an act.
Upon hearing this, Duoduo felt as if she had been granted a pardon and ran upstairs with a big smile on her face.
The following day, at 8:30 a.m., He Zheng and his entourage, led by Vice Mayor Liu, visited the R&D company. Liu Cheng and several senior executives were responsible for receiving them, and the local media provided follow-up reports.
Inside the meeting room, several engineers took out a large stack of technical documents and sat down to discuss the details. For Vice Mayor Liu and his group of people who didn't understand technology, the content was too boring, and they began to fidget in less than half a hour.
"How about this, we'll go out and investigate Jiafeng's other development plans first, while you all analyze things here," Vice Mayor Liu suggested.
He Zheng's butt was already sore from sitting for so long, so he stood up, stretched, and walked out. The discussion on core technology issues was still in full swing.
After leaving the office, they found a spot where they each lit a cigarette. Liu Cheng stood to the side, glanced at his watch, and said, "By the way, I told President Lu about what I instructed yesterday. He said he's coming today, and he just needs to stay out of the photos when the reporters are taking pictures. In any case, he's still in charge of the reception team."
"President Lu is coming?" Upon hearing this, Vice Mayor Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at He Zheng, sensing that this matter was not so simple.
He Zheng completely ignored Liu Cheng's comment, took a puff of his cigarette, and said slowly, "President Liu, you know what I told you yesterday, right? You can write up this chip guidance internally, just put my name on it, and promote it in the local media. As for the semiconductor industry planning guidance, let the city handle that."
He Zheng arranged the work perfectly in just a few words, while he himself had no work at all!
"Don't worry, that's no problem," Vice Mayor Liu readily agreed.
"I think we should discuss this matter when President Lu arrives," Liu Cheng said, looking troubled.
He Zheng's expression changed upon hearing this, and he looked quite uncomfortable. He frowned and glared at Liu Cheng, scolding, "What are we waiting for him to come for? This matter has to be done no matter who comes. Can't you even handle such a small thing? Vice Mayor Liu, this is a matter."
Vice Mayor Liu didn't know how to answer. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Feng came up the stairs and said, "This is really a problem."
Before he even arrived, his voice preceded him. He Zheng and the other two turned around at the sound and saw Lu Feng striding over. He glanced at the three of them and then looked directly at Vice Mayor Liu, asking, "Where is Mayor Zhou?"
“He’s resting today, so I’ll take charge,” Vice Mayor Liu replied.
"Okay, get things sorted out as soon as possible so they can get back quickly," Lu Feng said.
This questioning attitude from the very beginning clearly showed that he didn't take Vice Mayor Liu seriously. It was as if Lu Feng was in control of everything, especially his disregard for He Zheng, which made him very angry.
