Lu Feng nodded slightly and got into the car. Just as he arrived at the hotel, he received news that the Thai baht had closed down another 10 points.
It was already dawn, and Lu Feng told Su Yourong and Zhenkun to rest first, as he needed to talk to Sean.
In a small, secluded restaurant, a sumptuous breakfast was laid out on the table, but Lu Feng had no appetite and kept smoking one cigarette after another. Sean across from him was also silent, while the translator sitting next to him seemed a little hungry, his eyes occasionally glancing at the breakfast.
"You eat first!" Lu Feng said to her.
The translator declined a couple of times, but Sean told her to eat first, so the translator started eating in silence.
A dozen minutes later, as dawn broke outside, Sean spoke up: "Today's meeting is not a strategy or a negotiation tactic, but a necessity for collateral. When the Thai baht completely collapses, everything in Thailand will become worthless in an instant, except for gold and arms, which will be sold globally."
“They haven’t gone that far, and besides, the risk of this isn’t that great!” Lu Feng said to him, “I will also invest most of my cash.”
“Since there’s no risk, then what’s the point of signing an agreement? It’s just a piece of waste paper, right?” Sean looked at Lu Feng and said, “They don’t even dare to sign a piece of waste paper. They’re not very confident. Mr. Lu, you shouldn’t waste your breath on me. You should go and talk to them.”
Lu Feng was speechless after hearing this, so he could only lower his head and eat. After they had almost finished eating, Lu Feng asked, "What if they don't agree? Will you leave today?"
“Go back and rest for a bit. If they still don’t agree when they wake up, then set off back. By the way, you’re the one who asked me to come, so you should reimburse all the expenses incurred on the way!” Sean said to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was speechless after hearing this. He didn't want to offend him now, so he could only remain silent and try his best to make the matter go through.
After finishing his meal, Lu Feng said goodbye. He washed his face with cold water in the bathroom, dried it off, and then immediately contacted the relevant person in charge.
In the hotel lounge, Lu Feng explained the other party's concerns and ideas. The other party expressed their understanding, but the problem was that they did not want to pay such a high price.
"Mr. Lu, since this matter arose because of you, whether it's weapons or gold reserves, it's extremely important for a country. Anyway, there's absolutely no problem with this matter. Could you mortgage your company to them?"
"What did you say?" Lu Feng was shocked. For a moment, he thought he hadn't rested and was hallucinating.
“You are an old friend of Thailand, and I believe you can understand that we have the utmost respect for you. Moreover, Jiafeng Group will have the green light to do business in Thailand in the future! Which Sean friend is also an old friend of yours? Please help us with this matter. Thank you.” The other party said sincerely.
Lu Feng sat there dumbfounded. He hadn't slept all night, and although he was in good spirits, he was completely numb from head to toe.
"Um... there's something you might not know. My company is about to be completely acquired. I'm helping you make this connection not because this whole thing started because of me, but out of humanitarian considerations. As for future business dealings, that goes without saying. I might not be doing business in the future." Lu Feng directly blocked his path.
"I'm busy with these things purely because I'm a kind-hearted person. It has nothing to do with what happened before, nor with our country. I believe that individuals should repay kindness, and countries should do so even more. What do you think? If we are unable to meet the other party's conditions, leading to the failure of this cooperation, I can only express my regret."
The people opposite him fell silent, and their overjoyed expressions subsided considerably. They wanted to use the name of the nation to make a big promise to Lu Feng, but the problem was, let alone the nation, even the ruler of the Earth wouldn't dare to fool a fool like that!
After talking for more than half an hour, the other party only said that Lu Feng should stall as much as possible, as they needed to report to their superiors.
At 9:30 a.m., Lu Feng dragged his tired body back to his room, and without even washing up, he went straight to sleep.
At 3 p.m., Sean and his group had woken up and were discussing whether to leave. Sean made several phone calls to Europe to find out the latest situation of the Thai baht, and at the same time asked someone to inquire about the movements on Wall Street. He already knew that they had to agree to his conditions.
After learning about the situation, Sean notified the others to go back to their rooms and sleep. When he didn't receive any news, he pretended to be asleep.
At 4:30 pm, Lu Feng woke up, washed up, and called Zhenkun. His room was not far from the European tour group's location. He asked the waiter if Sean had left.
The message I received was that everyone was sleeping!
"Still sleeping at this hour?" Su Yourong said, tying her hair up. "Europeans seem to sleep a lot. They must be jet-lagged, right?"
Lu Feng pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid they're not just jet-lagged, but waiting for news. We can't let this drag on; we need to put some pressure on them."
"For whom?" Su Yourong asked.
“If the Thai side and Sean refuse to give up, then we’ll give up.” Lu Feng stood up, walked to the phone, and called the person in charge of the task force handling this matter directly.
After the call connected, Lu Feng expressed that he had done his best, and finally said: "The psychological gap between the two sides is too big, and time is quite tight. I have done my best because there are still things to do in China. I need to rush back. The European group is still adjusting to the time difference. They will leave after they wake up."
"Mr. Lu, we are in discussions, please give us a little more time!" the other end said anxiously.
“It’s not that I’m not giving you time, it’s that Wall Street isn’t giving you time. I think you can resolve this through diplomatic means!” Lu Feng suggested.
