At the headquarters of Jiafeng Group, Lu Feng, Zhu Lidong, Du Guoying, and a few others held a meeting to learn about the mobile phone market situation. With the launch of Jiaxun mobile phones, the "Big Brother" mobile phone brand was almost driven out of the market, and the remaining mobile phone manufacturers were also retreating step by step.
Over the past few months, Zhu Lidong has successfully negotiated deals with several economically strong provinces, including Guangzhou, Zhejiang, Liaoning, and Shandong. Currently, his mobile phone market coverage has reached approximately 80% of the domestic consumer market.
Monthly sales have stabilized at 5,000 mobile phones, which now covers more than 50% of the domestic market.
In the market, Jiaxun mobile phones are also known as "small three-phones". The R&D company simply went in this direction and divided its products into business-oriented configurations and phones for women.
"Call over a few senior executives in a bit. While they're all here, have a quick meeting to discuss some things," Lu Feng instructed Zhu Lidong.
"What about the electronics store?" Zhu Lidong asked.
"We're not expanding anymore; those few stores are enough." Lu Feng had no interest in starting any more electronics malls.
An hour later, everyone gathered in the headquarters conference room. Lu Feng sat there smoking, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Compared to the company's usual serious meetings, these people were simply unruly.
Wei Yandan arrived last, pulled out a chair and sat down. She first talked about the construction progress of the headquarters building, which is expected to be ready for relocation by the end of August. The entire building has 20 floors and the interior decoration is absolutely top-notch in China.
"Let's not talk about that for now." Lu Feng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and looked at everyone, saying, "I called you all here today to have a chat. We're probably the oldest people at Jiafeng, Liu Cheng and Zhu Lidong, who came right after their companies were registered."
Zhu Lidong laughed when he heard this and said, "When I came here, you were still helping me with the planning of the industrial park in Suzhou. Later I found out that the land had nothing to do with you at that time."
The people at the scene laughed and started talking about how they came to Jiafeng. After they finished talking enthusiastically, they suddenly fell silent.
These people came from all over the country, and more than five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
“Now Jiafeng has reached another crossroads. Everyone knows about that Goodley party and his attempt to win over the management. I doubt he'll tolerate me by the end of the year, so I’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts,” Lu Feng said to the crowd.
"Wherever President Lu goes, I will go," Zhu Lidong was the first to declare.
"I owe my success to Mr. Lu's promotion. I believe that with you, my future will be even brighter."
Everyone expressed their willingness to follow Lu Feng, who nodded and said, "My idea is to go to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is about to return to China and, as the financial hub of Asia, it has a richer financial market. Going back leads to the mainland market, while going outwards leads to global finance. I registered a company there a few years ago, and now it's time to put it into use."
“Since everyone is willing to follow me, let’s go over there and take up temporary positions first. We can also start working on buying houses there.” Lu Feng knew that Hong Kong’s housing prices weren’t too high yet, so he suggested to everyone, “If you have the means, buy a bigger villa. You can’t lose money on a house. If you don’t have the money, you can borrow from me.”
Zhu Lidong was deeply moved when he heard that he could borrow money. What kind of relationship would make President Lu ask to borrow money? He thought it was the first time in all these years that he had heard such words from Lu Feng.
"President Liu, the R&D company needs to be organized properly, all patents need to be registered, and chip production needs to be expedited." Lu Feng thought of the chips and continued, "After the chips are produced, they need to be sold wholesale. Don't act like a big company in this regard; have the spirit of a small workshop. Anyone can come."
"The first batch of communication chips is expected to be off the production line in August this year. However, such large-scale wholesale will impact our mobile phone market," Liu Cheng said.
"Don't worry about the impact yet. First, we need to develop the market. Once the market is established, it will force the government to invest in this area and pay attention to it. Only when the market is large will there be opportunities and a future." Lu Feng said to everyone, "In the future, whether you are investing or doing business, you must have a broad vision and an enterprising spirit. Never think that you can build the entire market on your own. Competition can stimulate the potential of products, and only when the product potential is brought out can you have a larger market."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Lu Feng then changed the subject, discussing various topics including overseas markets, R&D markets, inflation in mainland China, and internal company matters.
The problems remain the same. Despite Lu Feng's repeated orders, nepotism, corruption, and slow administrative efficiency continue to emerge. This is the disease of large corporations, and no one can cure it.
After leaving the conference room, on his way to the restaurant, Lu Feng passed by the finance department's office area and suddenly remembered his futures investment. He went into the finance manager's office and instructed, "Sell all my futures holdings after the futures market opens tonight. By the way, how much have they gone up?"
"Twenty times!"
"So much?" Lu Feng asked in surprise, "Does that mean I've already made a profit of one billion?"
The other person nodded, also looking shocked.
Lu Feng closed the door and thought to himself, "Finance is still the fastest way to make money. I've earned a billion dollars in such a short time."
This shows that Soros and John were truly betting their businesses and their very lives on it; no wonder South Africa was in such chaos.
When ordinary people see the riots in these countries on the news, they probably just sigh and say that those places are really barbaric. They would never dream that these things could be related to major powers and finance.
