Upon returning to the city, Lu Feng went straight to the municipal government office, entered Huang Youwei's office, sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said, "Have a smoke!"
"Signed?"
"Signed!" Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh as he smoked. This was truly a brilliant move!
"Mr. Lu, you're a businessman. I hope you remember that nothing in this world is free. You wouldn't have gotten away with this so easily without my help!"
“I know that Jiaming Foods should be a major taxpayer in our city this year, and a key enterprise in the province as well. We may have to go to the provincial capital for a meeting. Don’t worry.” Lu Feng tapped his cigarette ash in the ashtray and said, “I now own 25% of the shares in the electronics factory.”
Huang Youwei looked up in surprise and said, "Is President Lu planning to become the next Zhao Ergou?"
"Hahaha, just kidding. I want to know how much money the city plans to ask for? And what's the situation with the pandas?" Lu Feng asked.
"You're planning to acquire it outright? I bet you can't do it without two or three hundred million. The city is easy to deal with. They invested 180 million back then, and with the inflation of the last two years, you can just give them 200 million. But let me tell you in advance, Panda Electronics' technology patent license expires at the end of this year. They originally licensed it for three years, and this is the third year."
Lu Feng's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Now you know why those companies failed to acquire it, right? Dealing with Xiaoli Village was a headache enough, and there were a whole bunch of other problems afterward, especially with you now. I heard you scolded some vice president at the electronics conference?" Huang Youwei smiled and shook his head, saying, "Young man, be more tactful!"
"I'll contact Panda in the meantime!"
"Don't contact Panda yet. First, tell me if you can come up with that much money. Acquiring the shares held by local companies requires money, and buying technology patent licenses also costs money. Even if you manage to get Panda to grant you the licenses, where will you get the money?" Huang Youwei sat down, lit a cigarette, and said, "You can't make it work without four or five hundred million!"
Lu Feng took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "When you're in the business, who pays for everything themselves? I have a plan here, what do you think?"
"If it involves financial crimes such as illegal fundraising, then don't say anything."
"Am I the kind of person who does that kind of thing?" Lu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I want to borrow money to make the acquisition. I can raise 150 million yuan without any problem. Leveraging 400 or 500 million yuan with that money is a piece of cake."
"Tell me!"
“I want to borrow 200 million yuan from the city to acquire your shares in the electronics factory. Then, I’ll use the money I have to buy the shares in Panda Factory. After the full acquisition, I’ll mortgage the factory to the bank to get cash, and then pay you back,” Lu Feng said, leaning back in his chair.
After listening for a moment, Huang Youwei laughed and said, "You're quite the maneuverer. You take all the profits while the bank bears the risk. I really don't know where you get so many unique ideas. Okay, but it's unlikely that the general manager of Panda will authorize you. His term expires next April."
"Lift?"
"He hasn't achieved anything, so it's going to be tough. I heard he can't sleep now. He's over forty, and if he can't get promoted, he really can't get promoted. There are still six months left. He's not interested in you, and when the new guy comes, he won't be interested in you either. You should understand that."
Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, "I understand, but I still want to see him."
Lu Feng returned to the hotel in the late afternoon. He was in a very good mood today. It just so happened that it was the last day of September, so he ordered several tables of lavish food and invited everyone to come.
Zhang Fengxia had been busy with the office's affairs. Recently, Liucheng had poached several more circuit engineers. Cui Ning sat there with a slight worry in her mind. The acquisition was progressing very smoothly, and Lu Feng never mentioned his 1.25 million yuan intermediary fee again.
"Come on, let's raise a glass." Lu Feng stood up and said, "This is a huge step, the most important step for Jiafeng Electronics Technology to achieve success. I believe that by this time next year, Jiafeng Electronics' televisions will occupy half of the television industry and become a leader in the electronics technology world. Cheers!"
The atmosphere was lively, but Su Yourong was staring at Lu Feng, her crescent-shaped eyes sparkling. She knew that Jiafeng Technology had no future!
