Li Fang had previously worked in finance and didn't know much about financing and salaries, but since leading the team here, she has learned almost everything.
Especially in terms of negotiation, she felt that after negotiating a few more contracts, she could deal with financial companies and maximize the company's profits.
However, Mr. Lu's methods were completely haphazard. He claimed to be here to raise funds, but he came up with all sorts of nonsensical things.
She had a lot to say, but she couldn't ask any more questions and could only do as she was told.
Back at the villa, Lu Feng finalized the press release. By the time he finished, it was already past 1 a.m. Seeing everyone yawning, he instructed, "You've all worked hard. You don't need to get up early tomorrow. Sleep in."
Lu Feng walked upstairs. Li Fang, with something on her mind, was wide awake and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lu, what's the use of those press releases? I don't think what we've been doing these past two days has anything to do with fundraising."
Lu Feng went down the stairs, sat down on the sofa, picked up the warm tea on the coffee table, took a sip, and said, "So what do you think financing should look like?"
“We should go to those financial companies, submit our various documents and reports, and then the two sides can start negotiating,” Li Fang said earnestly.
"You've been here for so long, how have the talks gone?"
"I... I only did it because of an unexpected event, otherwise we would have reached an agreement," Li Fang said somewhat unsure of herself.
"When you go to them, you're just at their mercy. Although Mr. Feng didn't discuss any financing with me tonight, the fact that we met was already a great honor. He's a very influential figure in Hong Kong's financial world. You've seen tomorrow's press release. If you see that even someone like Mr. Feng has expressed interest in Jiafeng Electronics, what about the others?"
Li Fang thought about it and realized that this starting point was different from what she had thought, but there was nothing wrong with it.
"Don't work yourself to death, learn to leverage opportunities, get on the coattails of celebrities, and things will go very smoothly. Any other questions?" Lu Feng asked her.
"No problem, there are just some things I don't quite understand..." Li Fang rubbed her hands awkwardly.
Do you know Buffett?
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it..."
"He's a stock market speculator, and his net worth is probably around 20 to 30 billion US dollars now, which is equivalent to more than 100 billion RMB. His assets will continue to increase as the stock market rises. If you were to have a meal with someone like that, how much would you be willing to spend?" Lu Feng asked her.
Li Fang thought for a moment and said, "Eating with him would cost money, but I can treat him!"
"For example, if you spent millions to treat him to dinner for about two hours, would you be willing?"
Li Fang shook her head directly and said, "From a financial perspective, I don't think it's a good deal. Besides, who would believe that so much money is worth it?"
"What if you talked to him about stocks while having dinner, and then spread the word that the stock market guru was bullish on that stock, do you think it would be snapped up?"
Li Fang seemed to understand and nodded repeatedly.
“So, chatting with Mr. Feng is the same as paying to have dinner with Buffett.” Lu Feng stood up, patted her on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be as curious as a child, get some rest.”
Lu Feng walked upstairs, quite disappointed with Li Fang. She was just a mediocre finance staff member, capable of middle management but not of being a senior planner for the company.
Li Fang didn't think much about it, and she didn't realize what she had missed. She had once had the same opportunity as Wei Yandan, but unfortunately, she lacked the ability and foresight to seize it.
The following day, while the events of the previous night's financial banquet were still being talked about, Lu Feng had become the hottest celebrity in the financial world. However, newspapers such as "Daily Finance" and "Financial Daily" published news that Mr. Feng was optimistic about Jiafeng Electronics.
Many people started discussing it early in the morning.
Some people even wanted to buy shares of Jiafeng Electronics, but unfortunately it wasn't even listed. In just two days, even ordinary investors could sense that this richest man in mainland China was no ordinary person, and his hype tactics were too clever.
Feng Zhiyao walked towards his father's study with the newspaper in his hand, his face extremely grim. He knocked on the door, went inside, and said, "Dad, why is this person so arrogant?"
"Who are you unhappy with this time?" Mr. Feng asked without looking up.
"It's that so-called richest man from last night. He spread rumors in the newspaper, saying that you were optimistic about his company. He kept praising you. You only chatted with him for a while. How shameless of you."
"I asked you to take him downstairs last night, did you?"
“I don’t deal with people like that.” Feng Zhiyao put the newspaper on the table, his whole demeanor showing resistance.
"Shamelessness is such a rare and precious quality!" Mr. Feng picked up the newspaper and started reading.
Feng Zhiyao stared wide-eyed at his father, feeling as if his worldview was about to be overturned. Shamelessness had become a quality?
"Give him a chance and he'll climb up. Not bad. These press releases are well-written. Although not a single word directly says that I'm optimistic about him, reading the whole thing makes it sound like I'm about to invest. You lack that kind of tact and shrewdness."
Mr. Feng picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said, "It's quite suitable for you to be friends with him!"
“I don’t want to know this kind of person. He’s the same kind of person as Tang Zhongren. Tang Zhongren called me a while ago, saying he wanted to give me a welcome dinner. I find all those rich kids around him disgusting.” Feng Zhiyao’s face was full of righteous indignation.
