As the food and drinks were served, along with a few bottles of red wine, and after several rounds of drinks and dishes, Lu Feng began to introduce the mobile phone business. He said that the mobile phone business would become another major pillar industry for Jiafeng in the future, and he also said a few words about the Tianjin plant that went into production this year and the Jiafeng Group building that will be put into use in the second half of next year.
At the dinner table, Lu Feng talked non-stop, saying that the future was bright and that as long as he was allowed to do it, Jia Feng would definitely be able to reach a new level. He also mentioned that John had given him a private jet.
“Actually, these are all minor issues. The biggest problem now is that Schroders Group wants to withdraw from the market prematurely. I spoke with John yesterday, and it was very unpleasant. They still want to recoup some of their profits first, and there's a lot of talk about a large dividend this year.” Lu Feng said to the two of them, “I just explained from various perspectives why we can't distribute dividends. The company needs money, and the board meeting this year will definitely discuss this matter. I hope you can vote against it.”
"Brother Feng, don't worry, Jiafeng is at a critical moment now, and I will definitely go without hesitation," Feng Zhiyao said with great loyalty.
Su Yourong chimed in, "Although it's called the board of directors, there aren't many people. President Lu said we should still give him face."
After a satisfying meal, it was already 3 PM. Lu Feng settled the two of them down for a meeting at the marketing department, which was nothing more than the usual business between the various departments.
In the last ten days of 1995, a banner was hung high at the entrance of a five-star hotel in Shenzhen. At 8:30 a.m., a series of high-end cars stopped at the hotel entrance. Wei Yandan, Zhu Lidong, Liu Cheng, Du Guoying and other senior executives got out of the cars one after another, and then entered the hotel amidst the welcoming voices of two rows of hostesses.
The entire floor of the hotel was booked, complete with meeting rooms and banquet halls. An emcee company was hired to provide services throughout the event. At around 10 a.m., firecrackers went off outside the hotel, and the second board meeting of Jiafeng Group officially began.
As the music played, everyone entered the venue. As Lu Feng stepped in, everyone stood up and applauded. Lu Feng looked exceptionally smart in his high-end custom-made suit. He waved to the crowd and walked towards the front row.
John was the second to enter. As the founder, Lu Feng entered first, and then it was John, the major shareholder, who entered second. As John entered the venue, apart from the background music, there was no sound at all, which was in stark contrast to before.
This sudden show of force made John a little embarrassed. He looked at Lu Feng with a somewhat unpleasant expression. Just as John was about to walk to the front row, someone behind him suddenly raised their hands and clapped loudly.
In an instant, this person attracted everyone's attention. Lu Feng also looked back and saw that it was none other than Yang Fuqun, the person who had opened the account of the R&D company and was asking Lu Feng if the company was his.
As Yang Fuqun clapped, the others followed suit. Those who attended the meeting were all middle and senior managers of the company. It was originally a group for creating atmosphere, but Lu Feng had them attend in order to make the company seem like a company for its employees.
I never expected that he would try to sabotage me in this matter.
Most of the people applauding John had gloomy expressions and looked at Lu Feng with disdain. These people already understood that Lu Feng did not want to share profits and did not have absolute control over the company.
John walked up to Lu Feng, a smile appearing on his white face, and said in his London accent, "Freedom is the most precious thing."
“Here, rules are more important than freedom!” Lu Feng glanced at him and said nothing more, though his expression was rather gloomy.
Next came Feng Zhiyao, Su Yourong, and then the senior management representatives. Their entrance took about ten minutes, but the applause during those ten minutes already reflected a lot.
A tall, sweet-looking woman walked onto the stage and began her opening remarks. Today's meeting was not only a board meeting, but also the year-end summary report, including a series of matters such as the transfer of senior executives.
"Next, let's welcome Ms. Wei Yandan, the group's president, to give us her work report." The host finished speaking and stepped down.
Wei Yandan, dressed in a light blue business suit and looking very energetic, walked onto the stage with a folder in her hand. Looking down at the audience, she said, "Distinguished directors, shareholders, and shareholder representatives, good morning. It is an honor that, under the guidance of the board of directors and with the cooperation of various departments, Jiafeng Group has gone through an extraordinary year in 1995."
