Soros's proposal received the support of the vast majority of people, who believed that the economy has cyclical patterns and, in economic terms, cannot be manipulated.
Even if Wall Street is shorting the market, it can only be said that they are following economic laws, and cannot be considered a deliberate attack.
After the meeting, Soros immediately contacted Federal Reserve officials and reported the matter, hoping to obtain financial support.
As night fell in Hong Kong, Lu Feng changed his clothes and prepared to go to his appointment. He looked at Su Yourong beside him and asked, "Are you coming tonight?"
"Of course I'll go. There's no banquet here that I can't attend if I want to." Su Yourong stood up and said, "I'm too lazy to change clothes anyway. Tonight, everyone's probably just here to watch the fun."
"It's better to make a big fuss. Now that everyone knows, they'll have to think twice before taking any extreme measures!" Lu Feng said.
"Do you know what's been circulating in the industry lately? It's said that Feng Zhiyao is colluding with you, an outsider, to seize the Feng family's assets." Su Yourong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "You should still be careful. By the way, the sales contract for that villa has been signed and is in the car. I'll give it to you now."
The two chatted as they left. After getting into the car, Lu Feng glanced at the contract, made sure there were no problems, and put it aside. As he looked at the night view outside the car window, his phone rang.
He answered the phone, saying, "Hello, who is this?"
"President Lu, it's me, Ma Wanjun!"
"How is the situation over there now? Has it eased up?" Lu Feng asked.
“It’s much better now. They seem to have reached some kind of agreement. The harassment at the mine has stopped. They’ve recently organized lawyers to litigate the ownership issue, but they’re demanding that we start production as soon as possible.” Ma Wanjun asked Lu Feng for his opinion.
The losses from the production stoppage over the past few months have been considerable. The workers' wages have been paid in advance by the headquarters. Jiafeng cannot afford to remain shut down for an extended period, especially since the tungsten ore futures issue is now over.
Since they require us to resume work, let's resume work as soon as possible. We should be more obedient on their turf, and everything can be discussed and negotiated.
"Then resume production, and set prices according to market rates. We need to keep the pricing power in our hands. Also, I have something to tell you: if those processing companies or other companies are interested in buying the mine, we can talk to them, but the price should be at least 20% higher than what we pay," Lu Feng instructed.
Lu Feng knew that China's control over Africa was weak, and if Britain hadn't intervened this time, his words there would have been practically meaningless.
In this situation, leaving heavy assets there is like leaving gold in someone else's house. The usefulness of the tungsten mine has already been demonstrated, and as long as someone takes over, it can be sold.
After hanging up the phone, the car had already arrived at the door of Feng Zhiyao's villa.
"How was the matter over there resolved?" Su Yourong asked.
“Schroder’s people stepped in to resolve this. Only when we go international will we understand what national strength represents. Tungsten ore has many future applications, but unfortunately it’s thousands of miles away and we can’t control it. It’s better to make a move sooner rather than later, otherwise we’ll be guilty of possessing a treasure.” Lu Feng said helplessly.
"I still think you should stay put for now, stay peacefully in Hong Kong, and not get involved in other things," Su Yourong advised.
Lu Feng didn't say anything, but took out a cigarette and lit it. He really didn't want to get involved anymore. With the production of communication chips, the mobile phone industry had been able to take root in China. In addition, at this point in the world, it was really not a good idea to mess around internationally.
Lu Feng guessed that he would take a few years off and then seek external cooperation opportunities after China joined the WTO.
Feng Zhiyao got out of the car and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Brother Feng, I have a feeling this matter can't be resolved with just one talk. I'm also annoyed by staying here. Let's get the old house back tonight."
"We'll see how things go when we get there," Lu Feng said, then instructed the driver to drive off.
To put it bluntly, today's trip was just a meeting. Lu Feng didn't expect Feng Zhicheng to give up everything after just one conversation. He just wanted to know how much support Feng Zhicheng had behind him.
"Are there many people at today's banquet?" Lu Feng asked Su Yourong.
"Not many, probably only a few dozen people. It was organized by the son of a freight company owner. If Feng Zhicheng hadn't met with Feng Zhiyao here, I doubt many important figures would have given him face. At least I certainly wouldn't have come," Su Yourong said arrogantly.
The car stopped at the entrance of a suburban manor. The receptionist glanced at the invitation and drove the guide car inside. It was the height of summer, and the chirping of insects constantly assaulted the ears, as annoying as the distant noise.
The car stopped at the reception entrance. As Su Yourong got out of the car, the people who were greeting her at the entrance became excited and rushed forward to try and establish a connection. Su Yourong responded to them skillfully.
"Please come in. Your presence is truly an honor to our humble abode!"
Su Yourong led Lu Feng and the other man inside, exuding an air of complete control. Once inside, Su Yourong said, "Let him prepare a lounge for a while. This kind of banquet is meaningless; it's just eating, drinking, singing, and hiring some third-rate models to liven things up."
It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that the three of them asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes. Feng Zhicheng finally arrived late, politely greeting everyone outside before heading into the private room.
Upon entering the private room, Feng Zhicheng saw that Lu Feng and the others were already there, and the leftover food on the table had not yet been cleared away. He said, "It seems I'm late. You've all finished eating."
"It's alright, you're so busy, have a seat." Lu Feng pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "I called you here today because of your family matters, I'm sure you know the answer to that."
