Lu Feng placed both hands on her shoulders and patted them twice heavily, asking, "Has a man named Hu Yaoqing visited your home recently?"
“I didn’t see her when she was home,” Ma Jiao said after thinking for a moment. “But it seems she talked to this person on the phone. What’s wrong?”
"I have a grudge against this Hu Yaoqing, and I need to record some evidence to bring him down. Can you help me?" Lu Feng took out a voice recorder from his pocket and said, "Just put it on your coffee table, and it will record automatically."
“No problem!” Ma Jiao readily took the recorder and asked, “Could you also take care of Ma Yue’e? Make her go to jail for a few years too?”
"Huh?" Lu Feng was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect her to be so ruthless to her own mother. He paused for a moment and said, "Isn't this unnecessary?"
"It's absolutely necessary. I've disliked her for a long time. Is that alright?"
Lu Feng shook his head. Manager Ma was just a small fry. He might be implicated, but he would never go to jail. There was no need for him to deal with such a person.
Ma Jiao sighed, quite disappointed. She glanced at the recorder in her hand, then turned and walked away.
Lu Feng watched her retreating figure. After spending the last few days with her, he realized that this girl wasn't inherently bad. On the contrary, she had an inexplicable rebellious streak, the kind of person who would do the opposite of what you asked, and would instead show you how bad she could be.
He really didn't understand what kind of family would create a person's current situation during their adolescence.
Back at the hotel, Lu Feng couldn't sleep. All he could do was wait. Hu Yaoqing's silence these past few days was something he hadn't expected, perhaps because Qin Zhong and He Xiaohui had been following him around.
I called Zhang Fengxia that evening. The factory has started operating at full capacity in the past two days, and the second shipment of goods has already been transported away. The copper raw materials are about to run out.
Once the inventory runs out, production will have to stop.
The head of the purchasing department also called Tianying Copper Industry and replied that the delay in production of the first batch of goods was due to insufficient local mining capacity, and it was expected to be delayed by three to five days. According to the contract, this time was within the normal range.
Advertising campaigns have already begun in Shandong and Hebei provinces, and the marketing department has already gone there. Advertisements are also being placed recently. The first shipment of goods has arrived in Qingdao and is being assembled. It can be launched directly to the market this week, ready to compete with Hisense and Haier.
The second shipment was destined for Tianjin. Both destinations were suitable, and with Wepuda's current marketing and pricing, it was very competitive in the market.
Lu Feng asked around and found out that Zhu Lidong was still away on a business trip.
"How long has it been?"
“I called him the day before yesterday and we had a conference call. The first two provinces went smoothly, but we ran into some trouble in Sichuan. He’s dealing with it now. I heard it’s a dispute.”
Lu Feng had considerable faith in Zhu Lidong's abilities, especially in market planning and negotiating with companies across the country. It's worth noting that Zhu's previous main job was selling Lenovo's OEM products to various companies, and dealing with businesses was one of his strengths.
"Didn't they say anything specific?" Lu Feng asked.
“No, I didn’t dare to ask. The marketing department has been making great strides lately, everyone’s been working like crazy. Every time they open up a sales channel in a province, they have to put up banners to celebrate. General Manager Zhu really knows how to unite people, he’s got the marketing department completely under his control.” Zhang Fengxia’s words carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
It's normal for departments within a company to have both cooperation and competition, and Lu Feng has always encouraged internal competition.
Zhu Lidong's brilliance has overshadowed Zhang Fengxia recently. People within the company say there are two presidents, but one of them is the big president, and that refers to Zhu Lidong.
"He has his pride too. He's embarrassed to have failed to win her over after so long!"
"I'll call him and ask," Lu Feng said, sensing Zhang Fengxia's emotions. "Each department has its own mission. The marketing department is more aggressive, while internal management requires more stability. They are different. If the marketing department is dazzling, then internal management needs more restraint!"
“I know, I’m busy every day, okay? I don’t have time to deal with him. We’ve recently promoted a few capable people. Come back and take a look.”
Lu Feng asked about other things at the factory, and after confirming that everything was fine, he asked for Zhu Lidong's phone number and hung up.
I called Zhu Lidong, and it rang several times before he answered. The voice on the other end sounded very tired: "Who is it?"
"Me, Lu Feng, what's going on?" Lu Feng asked directly.
"Mr. Lu? I'm doing great here!"
"Can't you win over that market? Who's making things difficult for you? Changhong, perhaps?"
"No, it's just a minor dispute, nothing serious. Mr. Zhang told you, right?"
"Don't I have the right to meddle in the company's internal affairs?" Lu Feng's voice was somewhat dissatisfied. Capable people are often arrogant, and this untamed arrogance can sometimes lead to big trouble. He always felt that he could solve everything, but once he messed things up, it was truly irreparable.
"No, no, we set up an assembly plant in Chengdu. We're partners, but there's a dispute over the ownership of the plant and also a brand dispute. Someone here registered a brand name called Weipuda, and then some people came and asked us to work with them. They said we could directly authorize them, they would be responsible for purchasing, and then we would share the profits."
"Robbery?"
"That's right, we're getting this done now. I'm pulling all the strings, and it's currently being processed. Those people are not to be trifled with; they have connections everywhere. The court issued a ruling in just a few days, prohibiting us from using the name 'Weipuda.' It's a mess here; it can't be explained in a few words. But I can handle it," Zhu Lidong assured him.
