"Is it a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise?"
"Well...who knows? I heard it's a township enterprise, or a mixed-ownership enterprise, anyway it's a mess. It's been like this for two years now. The reason it can't be sold is because the profits are not distributed evenly. Mr. Lu, if you want to do it, you have to balance the interests of the three parties. You can't do it if even one of them disagrees."
"Why don't you call that relative of yours now, and I'll talk to him!" Lu Feng said urgently.
"Mr. Lu, what time is it? You have dark circles under your eyes. It's not appropriate to call so late, is it?" Cui Ning said, yawning repeatedly.
Although Lu Feng was anxious, he could only nod and tell Jiang Xiaoyan to go to sleep first. After washing up in his room, he thought about calling Jiang Xiaoyan, but then realized she was probably asleep.
With the lights off, the whole room was pitch black, and only through the window could one see distant twinkling lights, which were hard to tell whether they were lamplight or starlight.
Lu Feng leaned against the headboard, unable to sleep. He silently pondered Cui Ning's words. This matter was definitely not that easy; otherwise, it would have been sold long ago, and it wouldn't have been his turn.
There are plenty of people with strong connections; you can't even get the meat on the bone, let alone the fat.
I don't know how much it will cost to acquire this factory. If I can acquire it with my 150 million yuan starting next year, that would be a great deal.
If he didn't have enough money, Lu Feng was considering whether to pledge the remaining shares of Jiaming Foods to the bank.
The next morning, in the breakfast room, Lu Feng was eating breakfast with several newspapers in front of him. Unsurprisingly, the headlines were all about the debate the night before, each one more sensational than the last.
“You’re in the headlines again today. Some newspapers really write nonsense. This one says that you slammed your fist on the table, glared angrily, and were surrounded by a radiant aura. Your whole presence was overwhelming, and no one could rival you in your gaze.” Zhang Fengxia put down the newspaper and said with a smile, “I suspect that this report was written by Jin Yong.”
"Consider it publicity. Didn't you see President Cui?" Lu Feng asked.
"No, they're probably still sleeping."
While eating breakfast, Lu Feng flipped through all the newspapers. Some newspapers did exaggerate in order to boost sales and grab attention, but there were also many reputable newspapers that were generally quite honest.
Cui Ning didn't leave the room until 10 a.m., and was immediately pulled away by Lu Feng to contact his distant relative.
"Who is it?" came Secretary Cui's lazy voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Gaba, the panda factory didn't sell it, right?"
"No, what's wrong?" The person on the other end of the phone seemed more alert.
“Let me tell you, I have a big boss here, a very rich big boss. You can keep your factory for me, understand?” Cui Ning said.
"Really?" Secretary Cui felt dizzy. The Panda Factory issue was resolved. How much credit did she have for it? Happiness came too suddenly. She hurriedly asked, "Foreign investment? Or from Hong Kong?"
"Secretary Cui, right? Hello, I am the chairman of Jiafeng Technology. I am very interested in your factory and would like to visit it in the next day or two. Is that convenient?" Lu Feng said.
"Oh, hello, hello, what's your surname?"
“His surname is Lu!” Cui Ning reminded him.
“Mr. Lu, of course you can come to inspect the factory. But one or two days won’t be enough. I need to report it to my superiors. Today is Thursday, so please come next Monday. I will receive you and show you around the factory,” Secretary Cui said.
"Okay, then next Monday."
Secretary Cui chatted with Cui Ning for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone. As soon as he hung up, Secretary Cui, who was in his forties, stood there gesturing wildly, extremely excited.
"That's fate! I'm destined for officialdom, there's no stopping me!"
"Problems that no one else can solve will be solved by me."
It took Secretary Cui a long time to calm down. She straightened her suit, looked in the mirror before leaving to make sure she hadn't done anything inappropriate, and then knocked on Huang Youwei's office door.
I must claim credit!
