Lu Feng took Johnnie To out for a meal, then they went back to the hotel and booked a room. Lu Feng then went downstairs to buy him some clothes, running around taking care of everything. Zhang Fengxia watched coldly from the side the whole time.
After buying the clothes, Lu Feng got out of the car with the clothes in his arms. He forgot to close the car door and turned to look at her, saying, "Close the car door and lock the car!"
"Are you sure he'll have great luck in the next ten years? It feels like you've found your long-lost brother!" Zhang Fengxia asked, closing the car door in bewilderment.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Lu Feng spent most of the day making perfect arrangements for Johnnie To. For dinner, they had steak at the hotel's Western restaurant. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and Johnnie To looked like a CEO of high society that evening.
Wearing a black suit and with his hair slicked back, he looked incredibly energetic, the dejection he had felt that morning completely gone. With Lu Feng's mystical blessing, even though Du Qifeng's wife had run away, his parents were dead, his child wasn't his own, his brother had betrayed him, and he was bankrupt, he still felt that the future was promising.
Zhang Fengxia was stunned by his energy. She sat down and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "I really admire you. He didn't want to live this morning."
"That was when my life went astray. From now on, I want to make peace with my past self. God's test for me is over, and now my real life begins," Johnnie To said earnestly.
“That’s right. Only those who have seen prosperity can endure loneliness; only those who have possessed can lose. You’ve grasped it!” Lu Feng raised his wine glass and said, “Come, let’s drink to a bright tomorrow!”
The wine glasses clinked, Zhang Fengxia took a sip, and muttered to herself, "I have a feeling he has mental problems. If you prevent him from making money, won't he just commit suicide?"
"Don't worry, they're all with me, how could they not get rich?" Lu Feng said confidently.
Zhang Fengxia stared at him with wide eyes, wondering why both of them seemed a bit mentally unstable. Was this thing contagious?
"Here's the thing, our factory is very large, covering about 5,000 acres when fully completed. Of course, the initial construction will only cover about 1,000 acres. You've managed the company before, so you're familiar with the local ways, right?"
“Very familiar!” Johnnie To nodded repeatedly, then suddenly looked up and asked, “What do you do?”
"Making food."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I understand everything from the product to the market. You can just wait to count your money," Johnnie To said confidently. "Judging from your age, your father must be a very wealthy man in your area, right?"
Clearly, he mistook Lu Feng for the kind of rich second-generation who just wanted to live a life of leisure. Zhang Fengxia was about to speak when Lu Feng stopped her. He had just regained some courage and didn't want to provoke her further.
"Yes, I can authorize you to use some of the company's money to build a team first. The core members of the department need to be complete. You can go to the job market to find them, or you can find people you know before. I don't care. My requirement is that they can manage a team of more than two thousand people. The new factory can't be built in a short time. I have already applied to rent some local factories for production."
"Not only will you need to build a team, but you'll also need to plan the construction of the new factory, as well as everything related to production and marketing. I can tell you this: you're going to be incredibly busy for the foreseeable future!"
"It's alright, I'm not afraid of being busy," Johnnie To said, raising his head. "I'm just afraid of being idle."
Lu Feng then asked him some questions about factory management and future development. The other party answered fluently, and even if he couldn't figure out some questions right away, he could provide some ideas.
Lu Feng felt slightly relieved. His mind should be fine. In his previous life, he read in a book that there were rumors that he had suffered a shock and had mental problems, but now it seemed to be just a rumor.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Zhang Fengxia stood at the door and asked, "Are you sure you want to hand over the factory here to him?"
Lu Feng could tell that she had been doubting him all day. He said, "Do you think I'm joking? I believe in him and I think he can do it. He just lacks an opportunity. There are many capable people in this world who just lack an opportunity. Many people never get that opportunity in their entire lives."
After finishing his speech, Lu Feng went back to his room to rest.
Two days later, the application was approved. The whole process was very fast, and even the rented factory was arranged. The original No. 1 Machinery Factory covered an area of 1,500 acres and could accommodate 2,800 employees to work at the same time. What Lu Feng did not expect was that such a large factory would actually get a seven-month rent reduction.
Lu Feng registered the company and opened several company accounts at the bank. He handed over the management to Du Qifeng and let him handle the low-interest bank loans. After a while, the finance department could take over the supervision.
Although the factory is said to cover 1,500 acres, the actual factory is not that big. It mainly consists of the adjacent staff housing, some office buildings, three large factory buildings, two large warehouses, and a four-story office building, which is already considered a very luxurious setup.
"Today is February 20th. In a month, will we be able to recruit all the staff and conduct some employee training?" Lu Feng stopped and looked at Du Qifeng, saying, "I will transfer one million to the company account first. You can finish the loan in the next few days, and then use the money to start operations. I guarantee that the machines and raw materials will be in place within a month."
"No problem, but don't you need my involvement in product design and marketing?"
"These arrangements have been finalized. If we develop new products in the future, you will be involved. However, you can conduct some market research in the local area and submit it to me. I'm heading back tomorrow, and a group of finance personnel will be arriving in a few days. The company's accounts will also be entrusted to a bank for supervision..."
