Cui Ning simply left Lu Feng his home phone number. As for his case, Lu Feng didn't want to get too involved. Although it might seem like he wasn't being a good friend, Lu Feng only believed one thing when it came to business friends: as long as there's mutual benefit, they're always friends.
After completing all the formalities, Lu Feng walked out of the detention center. He had thought that Zhang Fengxia would come to pick him up, but there was no sign of her. Lu Feng was just about to hail a taxi to go back to the hotel.
"Mr. Lu, right?" A Santana stopped in front of Lu Feng.
Lu Feng sized up the man, who looked to be in his fifties. He didn't seem like an ordinary person, and his demeanor was certainly not that of a businessman. He nodded and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Li Junfeng, the local mayor. I just finished a meeting this morning and decided to release you. I'm here to replace Director Cai and make contact with you. Get in the car first, I'll treat you to dinner." Li Junfeng waved his hand and said very politely.
Although Lu Feng didn't understand what was going on, he still got into the car. Since he didn't have a penny on him, he naturally had to treat everyone.
Inside a local restaurant, the place was bustling with noise, and the floor was littered with trash. The four-legged tables and plastic stools made it seem chaotic, but it also had an indescribable sense of warmth and human touch.
They ordered three dishes, two bowls of rice, and two bottles of soda. The two of them ate in silence. The weather was already getting hot, and with so many people around, Lu Feng's head was covered in sweat.
The ceiling fan above my head was spinning lazily, better than nothing, and drinking soda after a full meal felt incredibly refreshing.
"These soft drinks are made in local workshops, they're very cheap. If Jiaming Foods opened a factory here, the prices should be very low, right?" Li Junfeng asked without looking up.
“Definitely. There are no transportation costs, so the price is naturally low. This soda is completely concocted. Although we also concoct, it contains 30% fruit juice. To be honest, buying cheap fruit doesn't really make much money.” Lu Feng said as he put down the soda.
"I can tell from the taste. How was the meal?"
“That’s good. Now that Mayor Li is in charge, when can we have a proper talk?” Lu Feng silently calculated the time in his mind and said, “I really can’t wait too long. We need to decide in the next three to five days.”
"It won't take more than three to five days. Let's talk now. I'm sitting right here, aren't I?"
"Now?" Lu Feng looked around and said, "That Director Cai brought a bunch of people from finance and market supervision departments last time."
"No need. I estimate that Director Cai needs to rest for a while. Let's talk now. Tell me your conditions, what do you want?"
“Free land, about 1,500 to 3,000 mu, low-interest or even interest-free loans from banks, this amount is no less than 20 million yuan, and it cannot be a special fund. I have the right to misappropriate it for up to five months, and there is also a three-year tax exemption.”
"You want quite a lot, what do you have?"
"I have a market, and I will make a fortune in the next three months. Summer is here, and the beverage boom is coming. The first phase of our several factories will start construction soon, and more than a dozen factories will start construction next year. The majority of the factory buildings will be completed within three years, and all will be completed in five years!"
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he saw that the man was silent. People nowadays don't believe in the market and think that it's too unrealistic. They need you to come up with something practical, like a factory or something.
“We have no competitors in the northern market. Even if we fail to compete in the southern market, we will not go bankrupt. You have to believe in the market and believe that we will experience exponential growth in the next few years. To be honest, we need to do this now. If we grow and then invest here, the conditions will not be the same.”
"Alright, alright, I've seen all the market data for your factory. I agree to your conditions. Twenty million is one-third of the investment funds. I don't believe in the market; I believe in you." Li Junfeng looked at Lu Feng and said, "I've looked at your information."
"Really?" Lu Feng was a little excited, picked up his soda and said, "I believe you must value my good and kind character."
"No, no, no, I've read about your rise to wealth. You're a real scoundrel. Someone like you has a bright future!"
Lu Feng's smiling face froze, but he still touched the soda bottle to his face. Li Junfeng understood a principle very well: in the business world, there is no morality or human feelings, only money. Only when the money is in place can a company survive, and people without principles will always survive more easily than those with principles.
Lu Feng didn't ask Director Cai any further questions, nor did he ask why he had been detained or why he had been released inexplicably. He only knew that the matter was settled.
What was originally a thorny problem suddenly became as easy as a long-term case of constipation being cured.
After having dinner and chatting for a while, they became acquainted with Mayor Li and drove Lu Feng back to his hotel, agreeing to sign a detailed contract the next day.
After asking the front desk, Zhang Fengxia was still there. He went upstairs and knocked on the door. When the door opened, Zhang Fengxia was surprised to see Lu Feng and asked, "Why are you out?"
"How dare you say that? Don't you know I'm releasing you today?"
"How would I know? You didn't even call me. You were released, you didn't run away on your own, did you?" Zhang Fengxia asked suspiciously.
"I ran away?" Lu Feng said irritably, "How could I run away? I was eating breakfast in my pajamas when I was taken away. What does that mean? Are you going to detain me for a few days and still pay me my salary?"
"That's true!" Zhang Fengxia said awkwardly, sticking out her tongue. "I'll be more careful next time."
