"Alright, see you later, you tough guy!" Lu Feng said and hung up the phone.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Feng's expression was not good. The other party was almost desperate. Neither side had figured out whether this game was a fight of wits or a battle of words.
If they were going to use underhanded tactics, he really needed to be careful. Just as he was thinking about this, the phone rang again. Lu Feng answered the phone and said, "What's up, gangster?"
"What kind of gangster?" Huang Youwei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Huang, why are you calling me? A few thugs just threatened me, saying they'd chop off my hand."
"Is that so? Then you need to be more careful." Huang Youwei paused for a moment and then asked, "How are Wepda's sales lately?"
"Why are you still concerned about this? It's alright. Mr. Zhu has been busy developing the market recently. According to the original plan, it should be rolled out by the middle of next month, and sales will naturally increase then."
"Tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll do my best to help you. In a few months, a batch of corporate awards will be announced, and I plan to give you the title of Advanced Enterprise."
"No, no, could you please give me a well-known trademark?"
"Are you trying to bargain with me?" Huang Youwei changed the subject and said, "Haochen Copper Industry has a stake in your matter. The head of the local police station there happens to be my classmate. I'll have him find a few people to protect you."
"Is it that serious?" Lu Feng frowned, his mind filled with surprise. It seemed that things had exceeded his expectations.
"Maybe. I hope you succeed."
"We're in the same boat!"
"I don't want to hear such words from your mouth again, and I especially don't want to hear such words from someone in the business world."
"Don't worry, I won't say it again," Lu Feng said sincerely.
Huang Youwei gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone. Lu Feng sat alone in the empty room and began to ponder. He recalled when he first arrived, Huang Youwei didn't want him, then he thought about the electronics factory, and then the local chamber of commerce invited him.
After pondering it for a while, he began to appreciate its unique flavor. A dozen minutes later, Lu Feng chuckled to himself and muttered, "I've played this role of a pawn very well!"
The phone rang, and Lu Feng answered it. It was Zhang Fengxia calling.
"This Hu Yaoqing works for a mining company. He collaborates with local mines and is responsible for transportation, mining teams, and ore refining. He used to do lending, so he's involved in both legitimate and illegitimate businesses. I heard he has a group of people under him and is considered a troublemaker in the area. As for Manager Ma, she's just an ordinary manager. I asked a small company that collaborates with Tianying Copper Industry, and she's been working there for a long time. Oh, and she has a daughter who's a senior in high school at the local No. 6 Middle School."
"That's all?" Lu Feng asked.
"I couldn't find out anything else, but I heard from a manager in the marketing department that Jiao Enfan was in Suzhou today. He ran into him at a hotel that day, where the Copper Industry Association was holding a consultation meeting."
"Understood. When will Mr. Zhu be back?"
"Next month, he called me this afternoon and told us to start shipping. He said that Shandong and Hebei are ready, and advertising will start tomorrow. They've already set up more than a dozen small assembly plants. You have to sign off on this!"
"It's approved. You signed it for me. The first batch of goods must be of guaranteed quality. At the same time, strict controls must be implemented at every stage to prevent any loss of goods. Tell the finance department to pay attention and assign tasks to the sales companies below. The performance evaluation must be strict. Only then will they be worthy of their high salaries, understand?"
"I'll go down for a meeting later. Also, should we raise the price a bit? The people from the marketing department came to me today and said our profit margin is too low. After water transportation and the cost of assembly workers, the profit is close to zero by the time it reaches the end market," Zhang Fengxia said helplessly.
"At this price, let's capture the market first!"
Lu Feng gave a couple more instructions to ensure the whole process went smoothly before hanging up the phone. He stood up and stretched his stiff body. Everything was arranged. Since they wanted to play, he would play along.
“If you won’t choose, then I will. Taking down two people is enough. A recording and a file are all I need.”
Lu Feng pondered for a while and had already made up his mind. He went into the bathroom to take a shower when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Lu Feng, covered in foam, stared at the door as if facing a formidable enemy, his guard on high alert.
Li Na's voice came from outside the door: "It's me. I'm afraid to sleep alone. I...I'm scared!"
Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief!
