At 9:00 AM, the conference officially kicked off. There were many exhibiting companies, and even more companies that had received invitations to visit. To ensure the value of the event, each company's invitation letter required a deposit of over one million yuan.
Moreover, they are qualified to conduct audits, since there are too many scammers these days.
Lu Feng didn't go out in the morning. He stayed home with Jiang Xiaoyan, tidying up the house, mopping the floor, and playing with her. It was another kind of fun in life.
Around 4 PM, several cars pulled up in front of the villa. Lu Feng quickly tidied himself up, changed into a gray casual outfit, and got into the car.
"Mr. Lu, are you going to wear this?"
Lu Feng looked him over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"How about you change into a suit?"
"We're here by invitation, not as part of the exhibition organizers, so why be so formal?" Lu Feng said to the driver, "Drive!"
The car was parked in the parking lot, which was already packed with cars today. The group of seven walked toward the venue, which wasn't too crowded. After their invitations were checked, each person was given a name tag, which allowed them to come and go freely for the next week.
Lu Feng's goal was very direct. He contacted several relevant suppliers, but the prices for materials such as the casing, cardboard packaging, and motherboard aluminum foil were not very good.
Some even waved their hands after hearing Lu Feng's offer and refused to discuss it further.
"Mr. Lu, you're pushing the price too hard. The quantity is large, but it's really hard to do business at this price," Liu Cheng reminded him from the side.
“I’m trying to squeeze every last penny out of you. You don’t understand. Every penny that suppliers save is a bullet fired at the enemy in market competition,” Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
Liu Cheng was genuinely surprised that Lu Feng was so strict with suppliers, and muttered, "Wasn't it already secured?"
"Is it stable?" Lu Feng stopped and looked at him, saying, "You're in R&D, you don't understand the market, but let me tell you, the market is the battlefield. Have you ever seen a war end without a single person dying?"
"Then who should die?"
Lu Feng glanced at Jiao Enfan standing not far away, pointed at him, and said coldly, "He'll be the first to die!"
"Hey...hey you...do you have any manners? Pointing at people with your finger!!" A loud shout came from the other end.
Jiao Enfan turned his head and saw that it was Lu Feng. A look of disdain flashed across his face. He strode over and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "I've been looking for you all morning."
"You care about me that much?" Lu Feng put his hands in his pockets and looked at him, saying, "That must break so many girls' hearts!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen President Lu. It's only natural that we should meet on such an occasion. We hadn't even started our businesses last year, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. My Enfan high-end TV has established itself in the high-end market. You've achieved some success, but you're far behind me. That's true, when you're a peasant starting a business, your vision is limited."
"You want to argue with me?" Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure?"
Jiao Enfan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He knew that if it came to subtly insulting someone, ten of him wouldn't be a match for Lu Feng. After stammering for a while, he said, "I'm telling the truth. Have you found a supplier for you yet?"
"No, many manufacturers aren't qualified to supply us. There's nothing we can do. Sales are good, that's just how it is. I heard you sold two of your high-end TVs in Suzhou recently?" Lu Feng leaned closer and whispered, "Tell me quietly, did you buy them yourself because you were afraid of losing face?"
"That's still better than Mr. Lu selling it at a loss, right? Mr. Lu, don't be so smug. This is nothing. Keep playing around. If you can find a suitable copper raw material supplier, I'll change my surname to yours!" Jiao Enfan said through gritted teeth.
"Still want my surname?" Lu Feng laughed. "You think you can inherit my family business after failing in your entrepreneurial venture? Dream on!"
"Pfft!" Liu Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly turned his back to everyone.
"Heh, let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness!"
"So hard you can't even get hard." Lu Feng said irritably, "Let's go, let's go. It's really bad luck to meet this kind of person. I thought we could have a chat about technology, industry and trade, and trade, industry and technology, but it's all just empty nonsense."
Jiao Enfan watched Lu Feng leave with his men, his face turning purple, his eyes filled with a sinister glint. The humiliation Lu Feng had inflicted on him was something he had never experienced in his life.
I visited a few more companies, but none of the conversations were very pleasant. There was one company that seemed particularly suitable, but when I heard that it was Jiafeng Electronics Technology, I stopped talking.
Lu Feng assumed it was because of his reputation, since Jiao Enfan had been criticizing him wherever he went. However, after asking three or four suitable companies, he found that they were all in the same situation.
"Why won't you sell?" Lu Feng stared at the manager in front of him and asked, "You have to give me a reason. We were talking so well just now, why did you stop talking as soon as you mentioned Jiafeng Electronics?"
"If you don't want to talk, go look at other manufacturers."
"What do you mean you don't want to talk? Do you believe I'll complain to the organizing committee? This is discrimination against businesses. The price, quantity, and shipping method are all fine, but you put on a long face as soon as I mention a name. Who are you trying to impress?" Lu Feng questioned.
"Sir, please watch your temper. We have the right to cooperate with whomever we want. Due to our limited production capacity, we cannot handle such a large order."
"Bullshit, I've never heard of anyone complaining about having too much business. If the volume is large, we can open another factory every month and start production immediately."
"Sir, please don't cause trouble here. If you keep bothering me, I'll call security."
Liu Cheng pulled Lu Feng along, and many staff members from the nearby booths came out to watch. A refined man in his fifties walked over, glanced at Lu Feng, and said, "President Lu has quite a temper. He starts cursing at the slightest disagreement. That's a true reflection of the common people."
Lu Feng looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you? You're nothing like a commoner; you exude the air of a hypocrite."
