Just a few hours later, the group's technology department manager was notified to the entire staff that he had been handed over to the police for allegedly misappropriating company funds by submitting fake invoices for reimbursement.
The news stunned everyone, especially since the audit of Manager Wu's office that morning was so large that the entire group knew about it, and he was detained that afternoon. How could people not be frightened?
Some people in the industry are well-informed and are spreading rumors that President Lu has already had a falling out with foreign investors. The invisible smoke of war is already spreading everywhere, and a battle is about to break out.
Rumors spread among middle management, while senior management sensed Lu Feng's counterattack. The patent appraisal was approved that same day, but relevant departments were still trying to obstruct the process.
Lu Feng's approach was simple: he went on a killing spree. If a process was stuck in a department and progress was slow, the head of that department would be immediately investigated and then reassigned.
On October 1st, Jiafeng Group officially relocated its headquarters. Due to the large number of people involved, the relocation will be carried out in batches, with the total relocation time expected to be one month.
This headquarters building will not only house the group's headquarters, but also integrate all the subsidiaries' offices, making it easier for the headquarters to better manage the subsidiaries, reduce communication costs among the companies, better coordinate group resources, improve administrative efficiency, increase market sensitivity, and avoid the problem of a large vehicle being difficult to turn around.
At 9:30 a.m., a red carpet had been laid out in front of the new building, and several celebrities had been invited to sing. Local leaders at all levels were also present.
Lu Feng was draped in red silk, and the scene was quite spectacular, with over a thousand people present. Many people from television stations and newspapers were also invited.
The heatwave in Shenzhen had subsided somewhat, and Lu Feng, standing below the stage, felt a slight coolness amidst the heat, a smile on his face. Zhu Lidong, standing beside Lu Feng, kept whispering that no money was wasted, this building was truly impressive.
The ceremony on the stage was underway. Lu Feng exchanged pleasantries with the mayor and a few others. There were quite a few people attending the ceremony today, including many business tycoons. This ribbon-cutting ceremony was more like a social event. Many people came because they wanted to see Lu Feng, who had been keeping a very low profile for the past two years.
He's so low-profile that even people who have gotten rich in the last two years don't really know him. They've heard his name, but they don't really know what level of big shot he is.
The general manager of TCL leaned close to Lu Feng and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, where does Jiafeng plan to expand its television business next?"
Lu Feng turned around and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "I can't handle this. You'll have to ask President Du, the current rotating president."
The crowd included not only people from the home appliance industry but also those from the financial industry, including Yang Yuanqing from Lenovo, who was promoted after Zhu Lidong was poached.
Lu Feng glanced at him and said, "President Yang, come here for a moment!"
Yang Yuanqing was taken aback, took two steps forward, and looked at Lu Feng with some confusion.
"Which company makes Lenovo's computer motherboards?" Lu Feng asked.
"We source all our products from overseas, primarily from Intel!"
Lu Feng nodded and asked, "Is it possible to switch to Jiafeng's?"
He paused for a moment, looking at Lu Feng with disbelief. He couldn't believe that Jiafeng could make computer motherboards and processors. He felt that his initial refusal was somewhat of a face-saving gesture. He said, "As long as Jiafeng meets the procurement standards, there will be absolutely no problem. Leave it to me."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Feng laughed and stopped talking.
Standing in the second row, Goodley kept staring at Lu Feng. He had been feeling very uncomfortable these past two days. He had originally thought it would be just a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, but he hadn't expected it to turn into such a big event.
This incident is enough to show Lu Feng's influence in China. He was once high-profile. Before 1995, Lu Feng was a celebrity in the business world. However, he has disappeared from the public eye in the last two years, which has shrouded him in mystery.
Even when small business owners are having dinner and bragging, they will mention a certain big shot. One of them will just say, "Do you know Lu Feng?"
The bragging contest that could win a dinner party in an instant, plus Lu Feng's early fame, if you collect some information from that time, would definitely shock a lot of people.
“President Lu, a lot of things have happened at the company these past few days.” Goodley finally spoke up, saying, “They are all key personnel of the company. We’re moving to the new building soon. Targeting key personnel might hurt their feelings.”
"We'll talk about these things later," Lu Feng replied, and said no more.
As the host invited the leaders, key guests for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and witnesses to take the stage, Lu Feng and his entourage walked towards the stage. First, the leaders gave speeches, explaining how Jiafeng Group had grown to its current state under the care of the local community. Then, Lu Feng briefly talked about the difficulties of starting a business.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began more than an hour later.
After the ceremony came a banquet. Amid the sound of firecrackers, everyone took cars to the restaurant in batches. During the banquet, people came one after another to toast Lu Feng and take photos with him. Lu Feng, who had not participated in activities for a long time, seemed somewhat resistant.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, and with the leaders leaving, everyone gradually departed. Goodley approached Lu Feng again, still hoping to get Manager Wu released.
"This matter has a significant impact and is very detrimental to the employees of the Unity Group, especially since he didn't commit many serious offenses," Goodley said, downplaying the incident.
Lu Feng watched him relentlessly chasing after him. It seemed that Manager Wu's swift imprisonment had caused a rapid decline in the trust that the party group had in him.
"It's no use you coming to me. I'm not in charge of the group's actual operations right now. You should go find President Wei or President Du. Besides, you must remember your identity: Board Secretary!" Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder and walked towards his seat.
