"We've only just gained a foothold. The fiercer competition is yet to come. The market is expanding, and more than a dozen large companies are all crammed into the single product of televisions. Intense and vicious competition is inevitable. This is true for any industry. You must remember one thing: in a single market, there is always one large company at the top, two medium-sized companies below them, and a whole bunch of small companies below them."
Lu Feng picked up a piece of food, took a bite, and said, "Moreover, product diversification is very detrimental to a company. It is necessary to diversify and hedge against market risks. It's like how a company that sells cigarettes can also produce lung-clearing medicines."
“I’ve studied industrial clusters. They’re about large-scale market coverage. If a risk arises in a certain area, the risk can be mitigated and transferred to other industries for sharing.” Zhang Fengxia put down her chopsticks and said, “Can we not talk about work? Eating with you is like attending a class.”
"The kickbacks in the business department must be dealt with strictly. It's hard to completely eliminate this kind of thing, but we must crack down on every case we find, so they'll have a psychological burden next time they do it." Lu Feng stared at her and said, "Do you understand?"
"I know!! Can we talk about something else? I didn't find this restaurant to listen to your meetings."
"Alright, alright, whatever you want to talk about."
"If Xiaoyan can't have children, will you still love her?"
"I never loved her anyway."
"Huh???" Zhang Fengxia stared at her with wide eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief. It took her a while to react: "Then why are you so good to her? With your current status, what kind of woman don't you have?"
"Love is such an ethereal thing. When you have money and power, love is everywhere. I prefer the word responsibility. I have the responsibility and the obligation to give her a good life. This is the vow I made in my heart that day!"
"On the wedding day?" Zhang Fengxia's eyes were a little moist as she said, "I never thought that two people from the countryside, introduced by someone else, could have such a deep love. I always thought those people were so rigid, like wooden figures."
"Not the wedding day, but the day I met her!"
Zhang Fengxia was completely bewildered!
"It's hard to explain. Every era has its own shackles. Everyone is dancing in chains. I'm different. I'm not bound by any constraints. Whether I have children or not is not important."
Zhang Fengxia still didn't understand. Although she had returned from studying abroad, she was still deeply influenced by the rigid thinking of the time. She said, "Does a family exist without children?"
"Isn't there a lot?"
"You're going to give all that money to outsiders? And your daughter is adopted... this..."
"Ugh, don't think so much. Just live life to the fullest. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Maybe I'll time travel. Earning over twenty billion won't help!" Lu Feng covered his face with his hands, rubbing them in frustration. His heart was bleeding at that moment. "My two billion!"
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Let's eat!"
Zhang Fengxia could sense that although this person was about the same age as her, he had a lot of stories behind him and had experienced inhuman things.
During the meal, the two drank a bottle of red wine, and the bill came to over a thousand yuan. Lu Feng tried to pay the bill, but Zhang Fengxia refused and ended up paying it herself.
It was already past ten o'clock when we got back to the factory. Lu Feng got out of the car and said, "Get some rest. You have to hold a morning meeting tomorrow. Don't let the factory fall into chaos while I'm gone for a few days."
Zhang Fengxia got out of the car, walked to his side and said, "Let me sit in your room for a while and have some water!"
"You don't have water in your room?" Lu Feng reached out and patted her head, saying, "Weren't you just listening to Eileen Chang? Love is restraint!"
Zhang Fengxia looked up, her eyes sparkling. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from drinking some red wine. She said, "I couldn't control myself anymore."
"Come on, go back to sleep. You'll experience a lot in your life. When you stand at the crossroads of time and look back on your life, you'll eventually find that the things you once treasured were so childish and ridiculous." Lu Feng patted her shoulder and said, "Go back and rest, and work hard."
Zhang Fengxia nodded and said, "Okay, you should get some rest too. You two haven't seen each other for so long, she probably won't let you sleep well."
Lu Feng chuckled: "Why are you always digging into our little affair? Let's go!"
Zhu Lidong was still awake and witnessed everything from the window. The moonlight mixed with the streetlights illuminated Zhang Fengxia's solitary figure.
As someone close to them, he knew a bit more about their situation than others. He could only sigh and mutter, "Hopefully it won't affect their work. So much emotional turmoil can be the starting point for the destruction of a business empire."
The next day, the plane took off on time and landed at the airport at 9:50. Although the scale of the event was not as large as last time, General Manager Hong and Cui Ning were all present.
That's how business works. When you can bring enough benefit to someone, you're more important than their own father.
"Mr. Lu, it's been so long! I've missed you so much! You know, last night when your business department told me you were coming back, I was so excited I couldn't sleep a wink. I miss you even more than your wife!"
Mr. Hong pressed his chubby face against Lu Feng's, and without saying a word, he hugged Lu Feng tightly and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Lu Feng was disgusted by him and hurriedly backed away, cursing inwardly that there was a traitor in the business department who had sold his itinerary. He decided to buy his own plane tickets in the future.
Cui Ning was also disgusted by President Hong's attitude. He realized why he wasn't doing well in business: it was because he cared too much about his reputation.
“Mr. Lu, I have to talk to you. Your men are really disgusting. I tried to call you, but I couldn’t get your number. I paged you, but you didn’t answer. I’ve already lost money. If it weren’t for our brotherhood, I would never have done that business.” Mr. Hong’s eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he was about to cry. He said, “You can’t do this.”
