Huang Youwei knew Lu Feng all too well. His methods were as transparent as if they were transparent to him. Even though multiple sources indicated that Lu Feng was quitting, Huang Youwei still didn't believe it.
“Let him wait a few more days. Based on my understanding of Jiafeng Group, their phones need to be launched after the New Year. The timeline is very tight. He has to find a way out. First, find a major market, and then slowly expand into other provinces over the next year,” Huang Youwei said confidently.
Lu Feng seemed to have found his own happiness. Anyway, his big plane was just sitting there. He could buy anything, or even half a shopping mall and take it away.
Every day, besides enjoying himself, he goes shopping all sorts of things. He even bought himself a Ferrari sports car on a whim. Although Li Xiaohua bought the first Ferrari in China, Lu Feng's car is still among the top five in the country.
Two days passed in a flash, and no one contacted him at all. It seemed that Lu Feng had given up on himself, and Huang Youwei had completely abandoned him. Now it was just a matter of who could outlast whom.
The story of Huang Youwei ripping off Lu Feng by demanding exorbitant prices has spread like wildfire throughout the city and province. People who originally thought Lu Feng and Huang Youwei were having an affair are now confused. A few days ago, many local businessmen handed him their business cards and invited him to dinners, trying to get closer to him.
Upon hearing that Huang Youwei was going to kill this "own son," Lu Feng felt like a lone wolf for the past two days, with no one paying any attention to him.
Two days passed in a flash, and the financial gathering officially began. There weren't many people attending this time, only about thirty or forty in total. There are still too few people in China with enough money to invest in overseas markets.
Around 10 a.m., Lu Feng took a car to the venue. When he arrived, he found that most of the people there were prominent figures, including Mr. Mou, who was known as the richest man in mainland China, Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group, and a large number of others.
Lenovo's CEO, Mr. Liu, exchanged pleasantries with everyone. When he saw Lu Feng arrive, he walked over and said politely, "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be here too."
“I happen to be here recently and heard about this gathering, so I came to join.” Lu Feng asked him, “I didn’t realize that President Liu was also interested in investing in overseas markets?”
"I'm just joining in the fun, mainly to get acquainted with you. Old Shi, this is President Lu, who's been making waves in the area these past few days," President Liu introduced.
"I used to only read your news in the newspapers a few years ago, but seeing you in person today, you still look so young." President Shi said, shaking Lu Feng's hand, "We've all gotten old."
"If you put it that way, then I'm even older," President Mou teased. "I met President Lu a few years ago, back when Jiafeng Group hadn't yet developed to its current state."
Many of them were old acquaintances, and during their casual conversation, they couldn't help but inquire about how Lu Feng and Huang Youwei had fallen out. Lu Feng could only laugh and deny that the two had any relationship.
As the event officially began and everyone took their seats, a vice president of an international financial institution took the stage to introduce the prospects for overseas investment, focusing on US stocks and supplementing them with overseas commodity futures. He talked extensively about the development prospects of global finance and the investment logic of various countries over the next ten years.
The people present weren't really interested in investing overseas. They knew very well how they got rich, like pigs in a sty who grew fat by being favored and getting a few extra bites of food. Letting them go out now would be like fighting wild boars outside.
Many people make a fortune through unconventional means in this era, but few can achieve long-term success. The most important factor for those who can go far is self-awareness, which is extremely important.
The speaker on stage was very enthusiastic, constantly implying that as long as you invest in overseas stocks, you will have a minimum annual return of 50%, with professional traders managing the market and enough capital to select a few good stocks to make money like water, without mentioning at all the handling fees and asset management fees for investing overseas.
The audience members were whispering and chatting amongst themselves, trying to establish connections. Lu Feng sat next to Shi Yuzhu, but the two were not familiar with each other and didn't have much to say to each other.
"Does Mr. Lu have spare money to invest?" Mr. Shi asked first.
"I do have some spare cash," Lu Feng replied casually.
Jiafeng Group distributes dividends every year, as does Jiamei Foods. All of this money is directly deposited into Lu Feng's personal account. Although Jiafeng distributes hundreds of millions of yuan in dividends every year, the vast majority of the money goes into the hands of senior executives who hold a large number of shares. In addition, Lu Feng also receives a salary. Furthermore, after Schroder Group invested, Zhu Lidong, Wei Yandan, and other senior executives will not be as frugal in their dealings as before.
Lu Feng turned a blind eye to many things, but Zhu Lidong and his ilk were all shrewd people, so they naturally left Lu Feng a share of the spoils.
All sorts of miscellaneous money were pooled into one account. Lu Feng's food, drink, and other expenses over the years were all paid for by the company. A rough estimate suggests that Lu Feng's personal assets were close to 200 million yuan.
This is only because Lu Feng is focused on the company's affairs. If he really put his mind to turning the company's money into his own, let alone two hundred million, two billion would be too little.
Although everyone says that the richest man in mainland China is Mr. Mou, many people in the industry are talking privately that the richest person should be Lu Feng. If Jia Feng fabricates an investment project overseas, he can throw out US dollars!
"To be honest, I really envy you. You're so young and so rich. In my opinion, overseas investment isn't very reliable. Going to someone else's territory is never as good as staying at home. We're the family here, but over there, they have their own family too." President Shi glanced at Lu Feng and said, "Why not invest in the mainland?"
“That’s true. Stocks are too unpredictable. Once you buy them, they drop. If you try to buy more, even Nuwa (the goddess of mythology) would be troubled, let alone us mere mortals.” Lu Feng sighed and said, “Stocks are like love. You always see other people’s marriage certificates, but when it’s your turn, you’re left with nothing.”
