"Let me put it this way: the warden personally sought me out and arranged for me to come here. If you want to die here, I have nothing to say. As for how much power is behind this, you can figure it out yourself."
Brother Long and Brother Hu were almost scared out of their wits. They thought Lu Feng was just a businessman with a few hundred thousand yuan, but this kind of situation was beyond their imagination.
A gentle breeze blew in, and a cold sweat broke out on the backs of the group. They were filled with lingering fear, wondering how such a person could have been locked up with them.
For four or five days in a row, the food at Lu Feng's detention center improved considerably. At the same time, seven or eight people were transferred out. Speculation about Jiaming Foods continued, and people called to inquire about the situation.
With mid-May approaching, Gao Zhiwei hesitated about whether to go south. Zhang Fengxia called Jiang Xiaoyan and told her that she had already spent the money and made all the arrangements, and that Lu Feng would be fine.
A week later, the atmosphere in the provincial conference room was serious. In the past week, the matter of Jiaming Foods had caused a great uproar, and the two sides had clearly divided into two factions. One side wanted to deal with it as speculation, while the other side said that since there is only a market, risk and leverage are allowed to exist. Investment and speculation are only one word apart, but speculation will exist as long as there is a market.
"Alright, after arguing for so long without reaching a conclusion, I heard that Yan Hai's brother provinces have also been affected by us. There's already some news about this matter. Read it aloud!"
"To sum up the message in one sentence: it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."
"So now the question is, is Lu Feng a good cat at catching mice?"
"I believe that Jiaming Foods has provided a large number of jobs in various provinces, promoted healthy market competition, and driven industrial development, especially in the canned food sector, which has greatly boosted the production of fruit in rural areas. We should support it."
The meeting lasted for two hours with endless debate, and some people even walked out in the heat of the moment. The final decision was to release Lu Feng first. This matter had already affected the market, not only local investment but also foreign investment. It was like a large stone being thrown into a still lake.
"That's about attracting investment. Should we accept Jiaming Foods to set up shop here? Personally, I think that although Jiaming Foods has high leverage, its market is very good. Although it currently has a huge funding gap, it can seek financing in the south. I don't think we should give up this opportunity."
“I disagree. This matter is extremely risky. Lu Feng is trying to obtain policies, land, and loans everywhere, which is very risky and could easily lead to an unfinished project. Moreover, there is no collateral.” Director Cai objected, “I gathered a lot of people to talk to him that day, and we are certain that he is not a good target.”
"First of all, Jiaming Foods' six factories have already started operation, which has greatly boosted the local economy. Although they initially planned to have sixteen factories, they failed to reach agreements with several locations, so now they only have twelve. We are not in a hurry and need to have a long-term vision."
"Alright then, let's hand over the reception for Jiaming Foods to Director Li. Just transfer it from the Investment Promotion Office. Okay, meeting adjourned!"
.........
There were only five people left in the detention cell. Several prison guards came over, holding documents, and said, "Lu Feng, come out for a moment, sign this document, and you can leave."
"Can we walk now?" Lu Feng asked with a hint of joy on his face.
"Yes, let's get the formalities done and go!"
When Cui Ning heard that Lu Feng could walk, he became anxious and stood up to ask, "Can I walk too? He's a speculator, and so am I!"
"Your bet is too small, keep squatting."
"What kind of talk is that?" Cui Ning turned around anxiously and said to Lu Feng, "President Lu, please do me a favor. I'm familiar with this TV business. As long as you provide the money and I provide the connections, we'll definitely make a fortune, really!"
Lu Feng signed several documents, and seeing that he was indeed a problem, as he might not be able to be contacted after leaving, he said, "Leave me your phone number. I don't change easily. I might do this for the next year or two. Contact me then. Of course, if you are sentenced, there's nothing I can do."
"What kind of talk is that? Mr. Lu, please help me!"
