"There are plenty of people willing to be pawns; if all else fails, why not try another company?"
"No, he's experienced. He's a man of the world, a man who gets things done. In a situation like this, most people would be terrified. We have to give him a little incentive, push him a little further, send out the telegram, and make it as harsh as possible."
"So, the talks between the two sides were particularly pleasant, and Jiafeng Electronics has officially moved in?"
"It was too mild. They said that Jiafeng Electronics had already signed a contract with us, and Chairman Lu Feng announced that he would invest several hundred million yuan in the new factory area. Then they introduced me and said that I had introduced some local companies in the hope of boosting the development of local businesses. Lu Feng said that the local small businesses were not very interesting and named a few of them."
"Isn't this...too...?"
"Let's settle this score first, and then keep the person here!"
"Okay, I'll take care of it!"
On the way back, Lu Feng talked to Ye Wusheng. He hadn't discussed these things with him before, and they had only talked about good conditions, such as money, land, and policies.
“I had thought about this before, and I had asked a lot of people in the municipal government privately. They all said the conditions were good. Although the area lacks businesses, it's not that desperate for them!”
Ye Wusheng said with some annoyance, "Isn't this just lying?"
"Yeah, it's just like dating. The guy first tells the girl how rich he is, and after he's won her over, he tells her that he doesn't actually have much money and that he's planning to live off her," Lu Feng joked expressionlessly.
"Mr. Lu, you're right, there are a lot of men like that these days."
"Yes, he's a scumbag!"
Lu Feng leaned back in his seat and remained silent, pondering to himself that there was probably a lot going on here. The more the other party tried to conceal things, the bigger the trap seemed to be, and who knew what they wanted him to do.
Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch, unless it is obtained through deception.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Lu Feng got out and went back to his room. The first thing he did was call Huang Youwei.
"What's up?" Huang Youwei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Huang, this is Lu Feng."
"What's up?"
"Did He Jiale from Dongguan call you?" Lu Feng asked.
"Yeah, they were trying to get to know about the company's development through the provincial government. I wasn't happy about it at the time. You and I had a fight at the foreign acquisition party that day. I thought, since I couldn't keep you anyway, I might as well do you a favor!" Huang Youwei said casually, "What happened?"
"What did you say? I had a few drinks and I was emotional at the time, don't betray me!" Lu Feng was speechless.
"I didn't say much, just that you're really short of money, almost desperate for cash. Your development philosophy is... technology, industry, and trade. Then we talked about some recent worries and the copper association. I also have some things on my mind and feel frustrated. We're all outsiders, so I just wanted to get it off my chest."
Goodness, they even specified the color of the underwear; they're really going all out on selling it!
Lu Feng recounted what had happened that day, and Huang Youwei on the other end of the phone laughed out loud, saying, "Go out and run a errand, and you'll see how good I am to you. Why don't you set up another factory in Suzhou?"
"I'd be happy to pay for it!"
"Look at you, always talking about money, it hurts feelings, doesn't it? I don't really like dealing with businessmen like you, all you talk about is money, money, money all day long." Huang Youwei was very impatient.
"Hello!!! You people, all you talk about is political achievements, what else do you talk about if not money? Say 'I love you'?"
“If I tell you I love you and you come back to open the factory, then I’ll tell you every day.”
"Stop disgusting me, Mr. Huang, I was wrong, please don't sell me out, thank you so much!"
"I've been too good to you, making you mistakenly believe that other municipalities are just as easy to talk to, protecting you like you're a flower of the motherland. It's good for you to go out and make your way in the world. That's fine." Huang Youwei said to himself, laughing as he told him to let him experience some hardship outside!
After hanging up the phone, Huang Youwei was in a good mood. Lu Feng went outside to find out the current situation and promised him something. Maybe he would come back, even if it wasn't Suzhou, but some other city in the province. That would be fine too, and it could be attributed to him.
Lu Feng put down the phone and sat there with only one thought in his mind.
Let's get out of here!
At nine o'clock in the evening, the weather was getting cooler and there were few pedestrians on the road. It was a cloudy night, and the world under the night sky was so dark that you could not see your hand in front of your face. Two figures flashed by and approached a small two-story building.
Are you sure no one's here?
"The car hasn't come back yet, hurry up."
"If we pull off this job, we'll be rich. The work here isn't good, so let's go back later."
"Let's not talk about that now, let's get to work!"
A figure pried open the window and slipped inside, while another person crouched below the window, looking around. A car drove by, its headlights exceptionally bright, illuminating the face of the man below the window.
It was that middle-aged man from the train!
