With numerous media reports and in-depth television coverage, this trivial matter quickly became a hot topic in Hong Kong within just one day.
Some people support Lu Feng, arguing that he's rich, and they're right. Those rich people only know how to study women, and Lu Feng is more open and honest, unlike those hypocritical rich people.
Another group of people thought that Lu Feng was a mainland Chinese who came here to act arrogantly and had the air of a nouveau riche, and was not on the same level as the traditional elite class.
Controversy can maintain the buzz, and the topic begins to expand, from the original women's art exhibition to a discussion comparing mainland China and Hong Kong, and then to whether air quality is important.
Women, mainland China, children, the wealthy, and even air quality are all highly sensitive topics in Hong Kong. If the two sides were to really engage in a heated debate, they might never reach a conclusion in their lifetime.
For two consecutive days, Lu Feng frequently made headlines, receiving one phone interview after another. He was also very busy these past two days, first announcing that he would start a film company and invest 100 million to make a movie, then when news broke in Hong Kong that a child had gone missing in Mong Kok, Lu Feng jumped out again and offered a reward of one million to help find the child.
In the past few days, if anyone farted in Hong Kong, Lu Feng would publicly call out to reporters, offering a reward of one million dollars to find the person who farted.
Taking advantage of the recent surge in popularity, Lu Feng has been sharing his art exhibition plans with the media, with a planned investment of 300,000 yuan, including venue, meals, media expenses, and fees for the master.
The money wasn't much, but it was basically enough. Booking an entire floor of a five-star hotel wasn't expensive, especially since Lu Feng was currently very popular and could get a discount. The masters were even less valuable, and the meal wouldn't cost much. As for the media, a red envelope would suffice.
Lu Feng is very popular, but this matter has basically nothing to do with Hurricane Capital's financing, and it's unlikely that any investors will actually throw money at him just because it's a hot topic.
Moreover, the other day, Brett and Chen Yanhua publicly stated that anyone who invests in Hurricane Capital is at odds with them. These big shots have a large circle, and with just one sentence, they have basically blocked half of Jufeng Capital's financing path.
Lu Feng wasn't worried about this situation. If others wouldn't invest, he could find a way himself.
On Saturday, a news article titled "European Devil Mission Venture Capital Recognizes Hurricane Capital" made the South China Morning Post's headline. Instantly, Lu Feng's whirlwind swept into the financial world, and countless people's first reaction upon seeing this news was, "Which company is Devil Mission Venture Capital?"
Then someone found the company, a Swedish investment institution. The host of an Asian TV economic program connected with the president named Riels. In the phone call, Riels was extremely optimistic about Lu Feng. He had previously learned about Jiafeng Group in the European market and also knew about Lu Feng.
He believes that in the future semiconductor landscape, a new star will inevitably rise in Asia.
The other party gave a lot of detailed data about Jiafeng Group over the phone, as well as many technical terms, which left the host somewhat bewildered.
Then, in the evening, the Economic Daily also published a news article. Another venture capital firm from Europe, called Tomorrow Star Ventures, was also optimistic about Hurricane Capital and confident that it could defeat Devil Mission Ventures. The report mentioned that the president, who was in his fifties, was particularly optimistic about Lu Feng. This is a Dutch venture capital firm with professional investment experience in semiconductors.
Hurricane Capital suddenly became a hot commodity, attracting investment from European institutions. However, it was ignored in Hong Kong. People kept searching for information about the two companies, but the distance was too great, and no one knew anything about them.
The only certainty is that someone always answers the phone, and they are very knowledgeable about the semiconductor industry, sometimes even more knowledgeable than knowledgeable. It feels like these two investment institutions aren't in the investment business; they're in the semiconductor industry.
Lu Feng's Future and Breath Art Exhibition Gala Dinner was in full swing, while Su Yourong was somewhat bewildered. Looking at the materials and explanations handed over by her assistant, she wasn't quite sure whether the two venture capital firms were legitimate or not.
"Can't find it?" Su Yourong asked.
“Unless we go to the local authorities to investigate, and given that one of these companies is in Sweden and the other in the Netherlands, and we’re not even sure of the specific cities, it would take at least half a month to get around to it,” the assistant replied.
"Then let's send someone to investigate. First, contact the heads of these two companies by phone to find out their locations, and then meet them in person to ask them about it." Su Yourong was still a little puzzled by the two companies that had suddenly appeared.
Based on her understanding of Lu Feng, this was definitely something he did. Lu Feng's reputation was ruined in Europe, and Su Yourong didn't believe John would tolerate him.
However, information is relatively limited globally these days. Last year, Schroders heavily promoted Jiafeng Group in Europe, almost portraying Lu Feng as a god. It's quite normal that some medium-sized venture capital firms were kept in the dark by this company located far away in Asia.
If European companies want to enter the market, Su Yourong needs to act quickly.
That very evening, they assembled a five-person inspection team, checked flight tickets, and then called Riels, but he wouldn't answer the phone.
At 8 p.m., Liu Cheng finished his work and was about to leave when he ran into Zhu Lidong downstairs.
"Don't ever recruit Ruixin R&D Center for this kind of thing again. They're full of elites; they don't do phone scams." Liu Cheng said helplessly, "I still lied to them that it was some new phone game. It's only because those few people who are focused on scientific research are so naive that they cooperated obediently!"
“This wasn’t recruited by me. It was at President Lu’s request. He’s incredibly busy right now, so we wanted to help out.” Zhu Lidong said with a smile, “I’ve been laughing so hard reading the newspapers these past few days. When it comes to getting things done, you have to look to President Lu.”
