"Mr. Lu, you're joking. How can I compare to you? My cousin told me that you didn't give them money, but instead gave them a bunch of TVs?"
"Yes, I'm only doing this because of you. I was thinking of giving him more money, but then I thought, giving him more is definitely not an option. If he takes it, it's like he's bribing you. The problem is, I really want to give him more." Lu Feng chuckled and said, "I'm so smart. I gave him goods worth 1.5 million. You don't need to thank me. You've been working hard for me too."
Secretary Cui originally wanted to find fault with him, but now she was speechless. It was her cousin who had suffered a loss, but he made it sound like she had benefited.
He stammered for a long time without saying a word, then silently ate his noodles.
Lu Feng sat there watching him finish his meal, then asked, "Did President Huang want to see me?"
"Didn't I already say I wanted to have breakfast with you? Let's go!" Secretary Cui said, standing up and walking straight out the door.
Zhang Fengxia was confused about what had happened and looked at Lu Feng, asking, "What's wrong? Did you offend him?"
"So what if you offend him? It's nothing, go about your business!"
Secretary Cui arrived by car, and once inside, she headed straight for the breakfast stall.
Huang Youwei was thinking of having breakfast and chatting with Lu Feng, but the tofu pudding in front of him was getting cold and he still hadn't seen Lu Feng, so he looked a little unhappy.
The car stopped, and Lu Feng got out. Seeing Huang Youwei sitting on a small stool by the roadside, he hurried over and said, "Why are you eating here?"
Why are you so late?
Secretary Cui spoke first: "I went there, but President Lu was having breakfast. He said he would come over after he finished eating, so I was delayed."
Huang Youwei frowned and said, "Now that President Lu is rich and powerful, he's leaving someone as unimportant as me standing on the side of the road. What kind of luxurious breakfast did President Lu have for breakfast?"
"Xiaolongbao!"
"Your steamed buns, one of them must cost thirty or fifty yuan, right?" Huang Youwei said, smearing some chive blossoms on his tofu pudding.
"Secretary Cui has a problem with me!"
"Can't he? His relative introduced you to the business, and you've been dragging your feet on the payment for so long. You even paid with goods as payment. If he doesn't mess with you, who else will he mess with?" Huang Youwei said irritably, "No businessman is without guile. You've gone a bit too far with your cunning."
“He really made over a million dollars easily. He introduced you to me. Putting aside how much of a role you played in the acquisition of the electronics factory project, if I didn’t know you, I would have given you the money.”
"If we don't talk about this, you're in trouble, you know?" Huang Youwei picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite.
"In what way? I'm constantly in trouble every day."
"Sichuan, I have news. Changhong is going to destroy you. You won't be able to expand your market there. Your president has fallen into a trap there. According to a friend of mine, a new company has been established there to harass you in terms of trademarks, patents, and brand names. They're also suppressing you in the market. The latest market competition will be here in a month at most."
Lu Feng looked at him, wondering how this old guy knew more than he did.
"You're more like a businessman than I am."
"I'm a businessman by nature. Before this, I worked in various state-owned enterprises. Doing business is my original profession. Be careful. I don't think you can withstand this wave. You don't have enough cash. It can drag you down."
How to bring it down?
"What I heard was that a middleman would be brought together to connect Weipuda and Changhong, allowing them to share sales channels and establish a new company. If you want to sell, you can put more than ten million into it."
Lu Feng nodded slightly and said, "Sharing sales channels is just bait. They want to trap my cash flow of more than ten million yuan, and then they will lower prices in the terminal market. I will have to grit my teeth and follow suit, otherwise I will be ruined."
“That’s right, you’re a quick learner. Talking to you is especially insightful!” Huang Youwei picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with a crunching sound. He said, “This isn’t a conspiracy, it’s an open strategy.”
“Zhu Lidong doesn’t dare to take the plunge, but he’s unwilling to leave that market, so he’s been maneuvering.” Lu Feng instantly understood where he was stuck.
“The guy under you understands the market, but he doesn’t understand the big picture. My advice is to just stay where you are. If you can stabilize three provinces this year, you’ll have won,” Huang Youwei said, staring at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng gave a wry smile and said, "You already know the answer, why are you still teasing me!"
