"In the past two years, we have been desperately trying to go abroad and open up overseas markets. Only after going abroad did we realize that not only are people divided into different classes, but countries are also divided into different classes. People from poor places are not well received in rich countries. To give a simple example, you know landlords and rich people, right? They can walk around with their heads held high. They are very fierce. They can impose sanctions on you if they want, and they can make you unable to survive if they want."
“But I did nothing wrong. Just because I came from a bad family? Because my family is no good? Why is my family no good? In the end, it’s because my family members are no good. Now that Jiafeng has a little bit of a foundation, he can’t just eat, drink, and have fun as soon as he has some money. I also know that many people say I’m transferring assets and spending the company’s money as if it were my own.”
“I am open to auditing and checking the accounts. In all the years since I founded Jiafeng, I have never cashed out a single penny. Apart from my salary and some dividends, I have no other income. I understand that everyone wants to live a good life, earn more, and have time to spend. But the company’s current situation is not the time to enjoy life.”
"If things aren't going well for our family, then we need to be even more careful with our money. As for whether or not we'll distribute dividends, I can tell you all that we will definitely distribute dividends. Whether it will be a large dividend, I can't give you an answer. Some people say that we have more than two billion US dollars in the account and have taken out two or three hundred million to distribute to everyone. There's a bit of Pigsy's flavor to that kind of talk. Let's pack our bags and go back to Gao Village."
"The company will get better and better, and I believe the annual dividends will also increase. Don't compare your salary with Intel's engineers, but compare your abilities with theirs. In China, you are definitely among the top-tier engineers in terms of income. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it during the meeting. We won't discuss it outside of the meeting."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. The crowd looked at each other, seemingly hesitant. A man in his forties in the front row was nudged by the person next to him and said, "Mr. Lu, we actually want to know, is Jiafeng still yours now?"
“I founded Jiafeng. I am the founder and also the chairman of the board of directors,” Lu Feng replied.
"According to company regulations, if a dividend distribution plan is proposed by the board of directors, it can be implemented as long as more than 51% of the shareholders approve it, right?" the man asked again.
“That’s one way to put it!” Lu Feng stared at the man, his brows furrowing slightly.
Those present immediately understood that Lu Feng no longer had absolute control over the company. Ever since Schroder Group came in, the management had been discussing in private how such a large sum of money had been poured in, as if the other party had too much money to spend. Many people said that control was no longer in President Lu's hands, and now this was confirmed.
After a conversation, Liu Cheng summarized the R&D company's work over the past year. Then came the selection of the board of directors' representative. After a vote, Liu Cheng was finally selected as the representative to attend the board meeting.
After the meeting, Lu Feng and Liu Cheng walked out of the conference room. On their way back to the office, Lu Feng asked, "Who was that person who asked me the question?"
"Yang Fuqun, the head of the domestic R&D center, is a veteran employee. He was previously in charge of overseas technical exchanges." Liu Cheng sensed something and said, "He's just a straightforward guy, but he's quite reliable when it comes to getting things done."
“It’s clear he’s very familiar with the benefits and compensation in Silicon Valley. At this juncture, we should try to use some reliable people. You need to make sure you can sit in the board representative position for the next two years.” Lu Feng stopped and looked at Liu Cheng, saying, “Some capable people who have their own ideas should be let go. This year I said that everything should be focused on R&D, but next year it may not be the case.”
Liu Cheng could sense something, but he just nodded without saying a word.
Lu Feng walked slowly toward his office, letting out a long sigh and muttering to himself, "My wife's in labor, and I just heard the news... I might be cuckolded. I'm really in a dilemma!"
