"Why don't you go back later? Don't overwork yourself. It's just after the New Year, so take a few more days off," President Liu said with concern.
Zhu Lidong didn't understand what he meant. If it were before, he would have thought that the boss was being nice to him. But now that Lu Feng had said something so detailed and convincing, he started to have doubts.
"It's alright!" Zhu Lidong refused.
On stage, General Manager Hou began, "Friends and comrades, it is a great pleasure to gather here tonight. I believe that tonight's gathering represents over 70% of the nation's future wealthiest individuals. Our high-tech industrial park will soon expand and be subdivided into various specialized industrial parks..."
The applause came in waves. There was no shortage of sycophants here. These people were very important to their identity. The importance of their circle was astonishing. Although Lu Feng helped Jiaming Foods break through the encirclement and make contact with some companies and banks, he only managed to get in touch with a few.
As for those overseas returnees and prestigious university circles, they remain a monolithic entity!
Lu Feng had no interest in listening to his nonsense. He turned around and glanced at the crowd. He really didn't care much about those banks. Nowadays, banks in China are divided into regions, and it's almost impossible to get a loan across regions.
They all get loans from local industrial and commercial banks, agricultural banks, or other local banks, while some funds and investment companies have a lot of research potential.
Zhuang Yuntian sat there drinking his wine by himself. He was forty-seven years old this year. As the mainland chairman of Fulong Fund, he had long cooperated with various enterprises to conduct equity transactions and loans and other financial transactions.
"President Lu?" Zhuang Yuntian looked up and saw Lu Feng with slight surprise. He reached out and touched his sideburns, asking, "Is there something you need?"
Lu Feng sat down and asked, "President Zhuang, what's your accent?"
“I was born in Singapore. My father is from Europe and America, and my mother is from mainland China. I’m a true mixed-race person.” Zhuang Yuntian said, picking up a glass of red wine and drinking it all in one gulp.
“My dad is from Hulong Village, and my mom is from Geda Liang Village, so in a sense I am also mixed-race.”
Zhuang Yuntian was amused by his words, picked up the glass next to him, poured a glass of wine, and placed it in front of Lu Feng, saying, "This is what I brought myself, brandy, it's very expensive!"
Lu Feng picked it up and smelled it; the taste was strange. He took a sip, and it burned his throat.
“President Lu, I’ve admired you for a long time. I even participated in the financing competition for Jiaming Foods, but I was eliminated in the first round by President Gao because I didn’t give him any money,” Zhuang Yuntian said in a low voice.
Lu Feng's expression stiffened, but he smiled and said, "Then it's not their fault. If it were me, I would have eliminated you too."
"Haha, Mr. Lu is such a humorous person. To be frank, Fulong Fund is very interested in Jiaming Foods. If you are considering selling your shares, you can also consider us, at the previous price."
"No, no, no, let's not talk about Jiaming Foods. I've already stepped down from Jiaming Foods' management. I want to talk to you about Jiafeng." Lu Feng looked at him, who was smiling like a fox, and asked, "Do you borrow money from outside?"
"Borrowing? Mr. Lu, would you like a bridge loan or collateral?"
“As you know, Jiao Enfan and I are sworn enemies. Let’s make a bet. You give me 100 million yuan, with a six-month term. If my sales exceed Jiao Enfan’s within the term, the loan will be extended for another year, and there will be no interest. If I lose, the interest rate will be increased by 80% from the standard rate!” Lu Feng asked, “How about it?”
Zhuang Yuntian frowned slightly and said, "Can I understand this to mean that you only need to use a portion of the money to set up a shell company, and then buy your own products, and you can surpass Jiao Enfan within a month, so that you can get a loan of 100 million yuan for a year and a half without interest?"
"What kind of talk is that? You can set some harsh conditions." Lu Feng forced a smile; he actually had that idea.
“President Lu, I know your style of doing things. In Northeastern dialect, you’re the kind of person who’s always on credit and always in a hurry.”
"You, a foreigner, know so much?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled.
Zhuang Yuntian laughed, held up his fingers to make an eight shape, and said, "I went back to the mainland with my mother when I was eight years old."
