According to Lu Feng's understanding, the country had been preparing since last year, and after the Spring Festival, the highest-level leaders came down to personally deploy resources. This was no longer an unprepared battle, but a situation that required all-out efforts.
In the second quarter, Hurricane Semiconductor's shipments remained stable, and United Securities' second-quarter profit increased by 370%, its stock price soared, and its market value exceeded HK$25 billion. Because the industrial park had been under construction for several months, the first batch of funds needed to be in place, so Lu Feng borrowed HK$180 million from United Securities to meet the funding needs of the industrial park.
After years of technological accumulation, Hurricane Capital's industries have officially entered a mature stage, with semiconductors, securities, food, and banking all starting to generate profits. In the second quarter, all companies under Hurricane Capital generated a total profit of 67 million RMB. However, Lu Feng is not concerned about profits.
The lithography machine and other related equipment will be obsolete in a few years. International restrictions on China have been relaxed considerably. Lu Feng plans to completely replace semiconductor equipment after 2000. At the same time, the mobile phone business will also enter a money-burning war starting next year.
Entering June, areas south of the Yangtze River began to experience continuous torrential rains, marking the arrival of the flood season. The flood prevention preparations made over the past six months withstood the first wave of impact, but were now in grave danger during the second wave in July.
Lu Feng instructed Jiaming Foods to transport all its stored bottled water and instant noodles to the disaster area as soon as possible. Hong Kong also launched a charity performance to raise funds. The charitable foundation established under Lu Feng's name contributed 50 million RMB to purchase flood relief supplies in neighboring countries.
In mid-July, the domestic floods had become international news. Suddenly one day, the person in charge of the foundation called Lu Feng, saying that they had received a huge donation from overseas.
"Donations? Our foundation doesn't solicit donations from the public!" Lu Feng asked, somewhat puzzled. "Do you know who donated?"
"It was transferred from a Swiss bank. There was only one pinyin on it, 'zhang,' so it should belong to someone with the surname Zhang."
Lu Feng paused for a moment, already knowing who it was, and said, "I understand. Use this money to buy supplies."
Lu Feng did not donate through any public channels. Instead, he purchased supplies and then had the company's flood relief team contact the front lines in the disaster area to deliver the supplies directly.
Due to the severe flooding, the construction of the industrial park had to be postponed. The first phase of the project, which was originally scheduled to be completed in August, had to be delayed until after October.
In Switzerland, Su Yourong's due date has arrived. After seven months of development, her agency has grown into a medium-sized enterprise with over a hundred employees. It collaborates with 47 large and medium-sized financial companies in Europe, not only introducing jobs but also assisting people who want to stay in European countries with their work visas.
Because these types of agencies operate in a gray area, they rely entirely on deception and fraud. In less than three months, this company started making a profit. Its business focused solely on wealthy individuals from Asian countries, helping them with immigration, job placement, home purchases, and car sales.
Most of the people who have access to companies like Su Yourong's who go abroad are wealthy people from China. The way they introduce these people is by exploiting various legal loopholes in the local laws and trying every means to extract money from these people who have just gone abroad.
If it succeeds, it's all thanks to the intermediary; if it fails, the other party is unfamiliar with Europe and can't do anything to the staff.
At 3 PM on August 15th, Su Yourong gave birth. The nurse brought the baby to her and said in broken Chinese, "Congratulations, Ms. Zhang, it's a boy, and he's very healthy!"
When Su Yourong heard that it was indeed a son, a smile appeared on her face. She had an ultrasound a few months ago, and the doctor said it was a son. Now she could finally relax.
After resting in the ward for a few hours, the nurses brought the baby to her after performing a series of examinations. Looking at the ugly little guy in her arms, Su Yourong muttered, "If this were ancient times, you would be the eldest son. It's a pity you're not the legitimate eldest son. It's not your fault, it's that your mother didn't try hard enough!"
