Watanabe's words silenced everyone in the office. Lu Feng, Zhu Lidong, and the others wanted to talk to them about integrity and rules, but they couldn't bring themselves to say these things; they felt too weak and it would be like begging for mercy.
"I'm Chinese, I don't need to abide by US laws. Besides, you're not American either. You're always cheering for your master, it's really despicable," Lu Feng mocked.
"Excuse me, but I got my green card over twenty years ago. I'm an American. Let me tell you something else: this time, you won't survive. Don't think your small company is so powerful. In front of Wall Street, you're like paper. You'll never understand the power of Wall Street." Watanabe's voice smugly rang out: "You're nothing more than ants swept away by this autumn wind."
"Is that so? Since things have come to this, let's wait and see!" Lu Feng looked at the phone and said in a low voice, "Let's see how much an ant like me can accomplish in this storm."
Lu Feng hung up the phone without waiting for him to speak.
The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat somber. Even the sound of Lu Feng lighting his cigarette seemed crisp and clear. Watanabe's so-called "autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves" was nothing more than a Wall Street operation targeting Asia.
Whenever the United States needs money or wants to buy up valuable companies at bargain prices, it tightens its monetary policy, causing a large amount of dollars to flow back to the United States. This leads to liquidity problems in some countries, financial problems, financial crises, and then Wall Street begins to buy up assets at bargain prices.
This time, however, it's targeting Asia.
Compared to such a large-scale operation, Jiafeng Electronics is really just a tiny ant.
Lu Feng silently smoked his cigarette. Everyone else remained silent. Lu Feng stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray and said to everyone, "Compromise is useless. Now there's only one way left, and that's to deal with him!"
"What should we do?" Zhu Lidong asked.
"The mines we had in Africa should be put to use now. I'll handle that. You all need to ensure the company's smooth operation. In addition to meeting our established targets this year, we must also do well in the mobile phone market." Lu Feng looked at Du Guoying, who was sitting in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Just one request: whether they're from the US or Japan, deal with them to the death!"
Lu Feng knew that as long as he fought Wall Street to the death, Schroder would definitely back down, and John would then find a way to force Lu Feng out of the board of directors.
Since things were going to come to this point no matter what, he had no more reservations.
After giving instructions, Lu Feng returned to the villa. When he got home, he found that Jiang Xiaoyan had not returned yet. Just as he was about to make a call, Su Yourong called.
"That shipment is most likely a waste. I just finished talking to a few lawyers. If the US investigates, it involves illegal smuggling." Su Yourong's voice was quite displeased. She didn't gain much from this, but the risks were considerable.
“If they’re going to investigate, they’ll definitely trace it back to me first. Hong Kong is still under British control. If they come after me before July next year, I can’t take it. I can’t go back to the mainland to live permanently.”
For Su Yourong, if she can't stay in Hong Kong and has nowhere else to go abroad, then she really has no choice but to go to Africa to find a lawless place to watch gorillas bar their teeth.
"Nobody wanted things to get to this point. I've spoken with people at Goldman Sachs, and according to international practice, they shouldn't pursue the matter. Don't worry." Lu Feng could only try to reassure her for now. If they really put pressure on her, Su Yourong would definitely be the first to betray Lu Feng.
“The insurance company and the company that owns that ship have both contacted me. Because it was clearly stated in the contract that it did not involve any clauses that violated the relevant laws of various countries, they will not provide any compensation and will also pursue liability for breach of contract, which will cost you money.” Su Yourong made it clear about the responsibilities as soon as possible.
"No problem, but you still need to help me find companies that sell lithography machines. If you have any news, I'll handle it this time. Don't worry about one thing: as long as you work for me, no matter how big the problem is, I won't let you handle it all by yourself," Lu Feng reassured him.
Su Yourong has a wide network of connections in Hong Kong, and at this time she tries to avoid making enemies with anyone.
After reassuring Su Yourong, Lu Feng hung up the phone. Then, a bigwig from the Science and Technology Commission called, hoping they could coordinate the matter through the foreign affairs department. Even though Lu Feng knew the goods couldn't be returned, he still wanted the government to give them a piece of his mind.
After the two phone calls, Lu Feng called Lambert again, hoping that the two sides could ease the tension. Naturally, Lambert did not answer Lu Feng's call. After Eisen answered the phone, the two only exchanged a few words before hanging up.
Lu Feng made it very clear on the phone that if the goods weren't returned, he wouldn't be polite. Eisen on the other end of the line didn't take Lu Feng's threat seriously at all, telling him to be as impolite as he wanted, they wanted to see what Lu Feng could do.
There's no turning back now. So let's send all the world's tungsten mines to the heavens.
In Cape Town, South Africa, Ronald had a very good year. He sold all the tungsten mines owned by his family to Jiafeng Electronics, and they took over the management. Jiafeng only sent a team to supervise the mines, but those people never went to the mines. They were just eating and drinking their fill.
In addition, Jiafeng has been buying up mines like crazy in the past year, and now controls 80% of the local tungsten mines. It can be said that Lu Feng is now the 'Tungsten King' of South Africa.
Ma Wanjun, general manager of South African Tungsten, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiafeng Group, came out of his office and hurriedly went downstairs with several folders in his hand.
