"This is no longer about money. I've already raised the issues with the futures contracts. Don't worry, I believe they will try their best."
John was relieved to hear this. Little did he know that the matter had escalated to an extremely high level. Britain was trying to prevent the sun from setting, and both its influence in Hong Kong and Africa indicated that the sun on which the sun never sets might be about to fall.
Lu Feng communicated with Ma Wanjun every day, and rushed to the airport as soon as he received approval. As the plane took off, Lu Feng secretly hoped that the trip would go smoothly.
As the plane landed in Cape Town, an embassy car was already waiting at the airport. After getting in the car, Lu Feng briefly inquired about the situation. The embassy staff told him not to go to the company, but to stay at the embassy's accommodation first, as the situation was quite dangerous.
In the evening, Lu Feng met with the Chinese envoy stationed in the area. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Feng asked, "Can't we guarantee the safety of our businesses here?"
"The US has protested, saying our acquisition is illegal, and they are putting pressure on us. You know our relationship with the US right now. I can only tell you that the situation is extremely complicated, possibly the most complicated ever. If they believe our acquisition is illegal, we have no recourse but to take legal action," the ambassador said helplessly.
What were their criteria for judgment?
“We are involved in a monopoly, and the acquisition process was illegal because it was conducted without state consent.”
Lu Feng had no appetite for the food in front of him. After inquiring about the international situation, he went back to rest. As soon as he got to his room, he called Ma Wanjun to communicate.
It was already past 9 p.m. when Lu Feng received several calls from the embassy. They tried to communicate, presented various pieces of evidence, and told the other party that people and property in their country were being harmed, but the other party simply ignored them.
The phone call lasted until after 1 a.m. Lu Feng felt extremely powerless and dejected. For the first time, he realized what it meant for a weak country to have no diplomacy. No matter how right you are, people don't really pay attention to you. No matter how much you talk, it's useless.
At two in the morning, Lu Feng had just fallen asleep when the phone suddenly rang. He woke up as if on cue, grabbed the phone, and asked, "What's the latest news? Can I meet with them?"
"Lu Feng, Fengxia has given birth. I'm Fengxia's mother." The voice on the other end of the phone was very cold.
"Really? That's great, Fengxia, you've worked so hard." Lu Feng sat up and said, "I hope mother and daughter are safe."
“Everything is fine. I called you because I felt it was necessary to inform you as the child’s father. Also, as Fengxia’s mother, it’s time for you to put the marriage on the agenda and give her a proper status, right?” Fengxia’s mother asked.
Lu Feng sat there stunned for a while before saying, "I will definitely handle this matter properly, don't worry."
"When will you properly handle this?" the other party pressed.
“Once I’ve finished dealing with all this mess, Fengxia will need to rest and recuperate. What do you think? Besides, I can’t run away, so there’s no rush,” Lu Feng explained.
The other party didn't press the issue; they said a few words and then hung up.
Lu Feng leaned against the headboard, unable to sleep, and lit a cigarette, smoking silently.
In Hong Kong, during the day, after Lu Feng left, the Feng family's affairs disappeared from the media. Feng Zhicheng and his elder brother Feng Zhixiong reached a private reconciliation, and now everything has stabilized. However, Feng Zhicheng is unaware of Mr. Feng's condition; he had previously learned from the doctor that Mr. Feng did not have much time left.
As long as Mr. Fung is alive, Fung Chi-shing will be forced to work at the company under the name Fung Chi-yiu, which is not what he wants. Moreover, without a transfer of power, he cannot get Sun Hung Kai to invest in his financial company, nor can he expand his real estate plus finance model.
Inside the office, Feng Zhicheng had just finished a meeting and sat there looking somewhat worried. Standing opposite him was Zhenkun, whom he treated with considerable respect.
"My house is about twenty years old, isn't it?" Feng Zhicheng asked casually.
“We bought the land in 1971 and moved in in 1973. It’s been 23 years. The row of houses in the backyard and study was built in 1978. Your dad didn’t have the money then, so he built them in batches,” Zhenkun replied.
"It needs some repairs. Here's what we'll do: take out some money to fix it up, let Zhiyao stay in a hotel for now, go and inform them, and find a construction team while you're at it," Feng Zhicheng instructed.
The next day, Feng Zhiyao received a phone call telling him to pack his things and move out, as they needed to renovate the house. Feng Zhiyao was quite happy, so he took two suitcases and drove away from the Feng family villa.
In less than two days, construction scaffolding was erected here, completely surrounding the yard.
Aside from going to the hospital every day, Feng Zhiyao spent his time waiting for the house to be repaired. During this time, he called Feng Zhicheng several times, but no one answered. Feng Zhiyao thought his second brother was too busy and didn't take it to heart.
A week later, several lawyers, accompanied by court officials, came to him and wanted to take the car away.
"This is my car!" Feng Zhiyao looked at the seven or eight people in front of him, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Are you trying to rob me?"
"I'm sorry, this car belongs to Sun Hung Kai Properties and was used by Chairman Mr. Fung. It is company property and now needs to be taken back," the lawyer replied.
“Mr. Fung is my father, and Sun Hung Kai Properties is my family’s.” Fung Chi-yiu had already sensed that something was amiss.
“I was entrusted by Mr. Fung Chi-shing. Now the ownership of Sun Hung Kai Properties belongs to him, including some of the property under Mr. Fung’s name. According to the distribution of property, this car should be taken back.”
