Sirami was quickly brought back, and this woman, who had been almost forgotten, once again stood in the center of the stage. She was still a little dazed when she returned, but through the snippets of conversation from those around her, she managed to guess the gist of the situation. This woman began to understand that it was impossible to maintain her position without the support of large capital.
The next day, Lu Feng still called Feng Zhiyao. Although the man was somewhat beyond redemption, replacing him would be too costly for Lu Feng, so he tried his best to help Feng Zhiyao regain his composure.
After the call connected, Lu Feng took a deep breath and said, "Zhiyao, what I said the other day was a bit harsh. Don't take it to heart. Now is a crucial time, and I hope you can understand me a little better. I'm here to apologize to you."
Just a few days ago, Feng Zhiyao was secretly thinking that he would never forgive Lu Feng in his life, but upon hearing these words, all those thoughts vanished without a trace. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, it's all in the past."
"I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days to see your dad, mainly to talk to you. Be strong, don't cry over every little thing. Crying won't solve anything, you know?" Lu Feng instructed in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.
"Okay, what date are you coming?"
"I'll let you know a day in advance before I go." Lu Feng then inquired about his recent situation. Feng Zhiyao said that his older brothers would be back in the next couple of days, and that Zhenkun was now basically managing the company, with the board of directors making decisions on some major matters.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng sighed. What kind of incompetent teammates had he encountered? Mr. Feng had left him with a child who was over two hundred months old.
Now he understands why he arranged so many things for Feng Zhiyao back then; Mr. Feng had not overestimated his youngest son at all.
Before leaving, Lu Feng held several meetings at the company to inquire about the situation, especially the progress of the working group sent to the Czech Republic. The two sides have already started negotiations. The other party has a fixed price, but the company wants to negotiate a lower price. According to the feedback from the working group, the contract can be signed at any time if the price is reduced by ten million US dollars.
The last meeting was with the R&D company. This year, the R&D company doesn't have any urgent tasks. Apart from iterating and upgrading existing products, there are only two major categories left: chips and storage. The remaining task is future materials research and development.
Lu Feng briefly explained the situation and then flew to Bangkok on his private jet.
On March 14, 1996, Bangkok had entered summer, with daytime temperatures generally around 30 degrees Celsius. As the cabin door opened, a wave of heat rushed out, and the arrival crew put their hands together and said "Sawasdee ka".
Looking at the welcoming team of more than a dozen people in front of him, with two Mercedes-Benz cars parked beside him and even escort police motorcycles, it was clear that Maha valued Lu Feng highly this time.
After getting off the plane, Lu Feng shook hands with everyone present and was then helped into a Mercedes-Benz, which sped towards the pre-booked hotel.
According to the staff, Sirami and Lu Feng will have lunch together today, the afternoon will be a rest period, and there will be a banquet in the evening, during which Lu Feng will meet with Maha.
Lu Feng naturally followed the instructions. After arriving at the destination and resting briefly, he called his security company and asked them to send a few people over to assist him in case anything unexpected happened.
Bangkok has developed rapidly in recent years, with skyscrapers rising rapidly. Their per capita GDP increased from US$800 in 1990 to more than US$1,800 in 1996, with an average annual GDP growth of more than 10%. However, it suffered a severe blow in 1996, and its GDP declined sharply in the following years before slowly recovering after 2000.
The five-star hotel where Lu Feng was staying was bustling with people, and foreign faces could be seen everywhere. Whether it was taxis on the street or the red-light district, customers were all generous with their money, as if everyone here believed that tomorrow would be better. High-end consumption was everywhere, but little did they know that danger was already approaching.
"The US dollar is like the sea, and the newly issued currency is like the tide. When the tide comes in, prosperity is everywhere. When the tide recedes, a large number of people die on the beach. It's the financial tide!" Lu Feng sighed as he looked at the bustling traffic below.
Around noon, a car pulled up in front of the hotel. The door opened, and Sirami, dressed in an elegant dress and looking very beautiful, walked into the hotel surrounded by several people.
Inside a private room on the 18th floor of the hotel, Lu Feng looked at the exquisitely dressed girl in front of him. Compared to his impression of her in the bar, she was now completely different.
"I've always wanted to treat you to a meal. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today." Sirami looked at Lu Feng sincerely and said, "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me, this is your fate. How have you been lately?" Lu Feng asked.
"well!"
A low sigh seemed to say a lot. Srirasmi talked about her journey over the past year. At the beginning, things were really good. She got whatever she wanted, her family was brought to Bangkok, and she was surrounded by many businessmen. Among them, Sompha had asked her for help. Srirasmi also knew that she had to be useful, not just rely on her looks.
But she came from a humble background, and after Sompa finished her business, they rarely kept in touch. Maha had so many women around him that he gradually forgot about her and had been staying at home with his family for the past few months.
Over the past year, Sirami has come to understand one thing: there is no such thing as a free lunch. Lu Feng, such a big boss, probably only thought of him because he suddenly had a use for him.
"I wonder why Mr. Lu has come this time?" Sirami asked proactively.
"I mainly wanted to check on your situation." After saying that, Lu Feng politely ate with her for a while before continuing, "I also wanted to talk about something. There have been quite a few international restrictions on me lately. I have a batch of production lines in the Czech Republic in Europe, but we lack the shipping capacity to bring them back. I'm also thinking of looking for them here."
