To establish a joint venture?
This idea would definitely be profitable for Jiafeng, as he wouldn't have to pay for internet access, and there would be additional revenue from the cell towers.
“If we could form a joint venture, that would be wonderful.” Lu Feng said to Young Master Zhou, “Your company has already made such a big concession, so we’ll just contribute more in terms of funding. It’s no big deal, we’re all on the same side.”
Director Hou across from him praised, "As expected of President Lu, you speak with such generosity. I love having friends like you the most. Come on, let's have a drink."
"I have a lot of bad habits, but I have one good point: I'm willing to spend money. As long as I think the money is well spent, no amount of money matters." Lu Feng clinked glasses with Director Hou and continued to boast about his wealth, unaware that he was spending more money to gain control of the company.
Over drinks, they quickly became acquainted. At the dinner table, Mr. Zhou kept saying that he should take good care of President Lu in the future, as President Lu's presence here was like coming home.
"As long as Mr. Lu has no problem with it, then there's no problem." Young Master Zhou hiccuped, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm actually quite interested in how you made your fortune. Back in Suzhou, how did you manage to take over Panda's unfinished factory?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng casually replied, "He bought it with money, of course."
"No, no, no, as far as I know, many people have tried to work at this factory before, and they all failed. How come it's so easy for you?" Young Master Zhou lit a cigarette and smiled at Lu Feng as if he were one of his own. "There's no need for these formalities between us. Huang Youwei must have put in a lot of private influence back then, right?"
"There really isn't one!" Lu Feng said helplessly.
Lu Feng knew exactly what Young Master Zhou wanted to know. The problem was that there was really nothing fishy going on. The only thing worth mentioning was that Huang Youwei had provided Lu Feng with some background support when he wanted to push this matter forward, and that was all.
Mr. Zhou was quite dissatisfied with this answer. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, scratched his hair, and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Mr. Lu, you don't even consider me one of your own. I've already been so sincere. You don't need to do all this. Wouldn't it be better if we were just honest with each other?"
“I’m being very honest. If I have it, I have it; if I don’t, I don’t,” Lu Feng said to him.
Dean Wu, sitting diagonally across from him, couldn't help but speak up, saying, "President Lu, whether it exists or not isn't up to you, is it? The issue now isn't whether it exists or not, but whether you're sincere in cooperating, whether you want to do this business, and whether you consider the people at this table as your own."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng seemed to suddenly understand and hurriedly said, "If that's the case, then it must exist!"
"That solves the problem, it's so simple!"
"Come, come, Mr. Lu, you've finally seen the light! Let me toast you!"
Lu Feng clinked glasses with everyone and said, "I've been at odds with Huang Youwei for a long time. Working with him was really unpleasant, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped contacting him for the past few years. Let me tell you, this guy has a strange personality and is very difficult to get along with."
The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became lively, with everyone cursing Huang Youwei. Among those present were several who had tried to curry favor with him in previous years, but he was completely unmoved. When they took him to a karaoke bar to find a girl, he berated Director Hou so severely that he almost got investigated.
"With Mr. Lu's help, this matter is much easier to handle." Young Master Zhou seemed very happy, holding a cigarette between two fingers, and asked, "How's the investigation in Suzhou going?"
Wang Shouzi put down his chopsticks and said, "Back then, he set up a development zone over there, and several villages were demolished. It caused a lot of unpleasantness at the time. One villager was seriously injured. The Panda Electronics Factory was also not peaceful. A lot of the land involved belonged to the village collectives, and we are already in contact with them."
“President Lu, you should be very clear about what happened back then. If we delve into this, the charges of loss of state-owned assets and illegal embezzlement will be unavoidable. When some villagers come forward, and you corroborate their testimony, won’t that settle the matter?” Young Master Zhou said confidently, “Once this is settled, the joint venture company will be established, won’t it?”
"If they investigate, won't I end up in jail?" Lu Feng said to the crowd, "I can't stand out like this."
"What are you afraid of? Huang Youwei was arrested, and the court will decide the verdict, won't it?" Dean Wu smiled slightly at Lu Feng and said smugly, "How he's sentenced is up to me, isn't it?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this. As long as Lu Feng cooperated, Huang Youwei wouldn't be able to escape even if he had wings. If you really wanted to find fault, you could find some fatal flaws.
Young Master Zhou said to Fatty Tan, "He wants to check the accounts, right? Let him check, we'll cooperate fully! Let's see who checks faster!"
The dinner didn't finish until after 9 p.m., and Mr. Zhou was in a good mood and didn't want the party to end. So the group went to a dance hall and found more than a dozen girls to sing and dance. During the dance, Mr. Zhou assured Lu Feng that the joint venture would be finalized in the next few days, and that he would definitely not be treated unfairly if he was in the same boat as Lu Feng.
Once this cooperation is successful, he can find a way to promote cooperation between postal and telecommunications groups in multiple provinces and establish joint ventures. However, other companies cannot be treated like this one. He needs to be given some benefits, and any projects or lucrative opportunities in the future should be considered for him.
Lu Feng repeatedly assured the other party that as long as he could make a profit, he would not hesitate to do so, which made the other party happy.
It was already past midnight when they got back to the hotel. Lu Feng had drunk a bit too much and went straight to sleep without even washing up.
The next morning, as the city held a meeting, Huang Youwei personally inquired about the three million yuan from back then. Some people in the municipal government began to sense that something was wrong. At the meeting, Huang Youwei asked Director Hou to detain that General Manager Tan first, so that he could be found if he ran away. Unexpectedly, Director Hou refused on the spot, saying that there was no legal basis for it.
