Lu Feng pondered for a moment, then asked the two, "Are there any requirements regarding equity?"
"Five percent of the voting rights, annual performance reports with detailed fund allocation, and some oversight, though the oversight will be relatively lenient. I know Mr. Lu is someone who doesn't like to be tied down." Mr. Feng knew him very well.
It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted.
The first round of financing is very important, especially in terms of the conditions attached. If the shareholders in the first round of financing obtain voting rights, the right to appoint and dismiss senior executives, and the power to participate in the company's core decision-making, then subsequent shareholders will definitely demand that they also have these rights.
"How much of this 500 million can be laundered? How will the accounts be handled?" Lu Feng asked the crucial question, lest he be charged with money laundering and arrested when he returned to the mainland.
“Generally speaking…” Zhenkun pondered for a moment and said, “Two hundred and five hundred million to three hundred million, go to the casino and find some companies to launder the money, that’s about it. Of course, you can also invest in movies, which takes longer, but you can buy the box office yourself, so the laundering is slower, but you’ll get more money out.”
"How do I invest this laundered money?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled. "I can't just take the money back to the mainland, can I?"
“You can register a new company here and use it to control Jiafeng Electronics. The money will then be transferred from the new company to Jiafeng Electronics’ account,” Mr. Feng suggested.
Lu Feng thought about it for a moment and agreed, saying, "That would be the best solution, but are you sure that we can launder 250 to 300 million yuan out of these 500 million?"
"I'll help you find a company that takes a cut of the profits, and I guarantee it will be no less than 230 million. How about that?" Mr. Feng reassured you.
"It can't be lower than this number, otherwise it won't be worth it for me. If it's lower than 230 million, you'll have to make up the rest." Lu Feng said to the two of them bluntly, "If you agree, then this matter is settled."
Zhenkun hesitated. He was giving Lu Feng black money just to save money. If he filled all the gaps in funding, it wouldn't be worth it if there were too many shortfalls.
Mr. Feng waved his hand and stood up, saying, "We'll do it your way. We don't care how much of the 500 million can be laundered yet. If it's less than 230 million, I'll make up the difference for you."
Lu Feng smiled, stood up, extended his hand to Mr. Feng, and the two shook hands. He said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I will certainly not let you down!"
“Mr. Lu, I’ve been looking at your files a lot these past few days and have heard a bit about some of your things. I’m also familiar with your style of doing things. My fund has invested in many risky companies, but to be honest, this is the first time I’ve invested in something as high-risk as yours. As for the regulators, I’d like Zhiyao to go with you.” Mr. Feng said sincerely, holding Lu Feng’s hand.
Mr. Feng has a very clear understanding of Lu Feng's background. This person is cunning and deceitful, and there's no need to worry about losing money when investing in him. He's incredibly shrewd. The only thing to worry about is that he might run away with the investors' money.
As for letting Zhiyao follow Lu Feng, it's because they want him to learn more and not be so straightforward. As the saying goes, it takes three years to learn something good, but only three days to learn something bad. By following Lu Feng, he'll definitely learn faster.
Mr. Feng has been in business for many years and knows very well what kind of people can get along in the business world. These people are kind-hearted bad people. They have the ability to do evil, but they have a kind heart. They can use dirty tricks and also get along in high-end places.
Someone like Feng Zhiyao, fresh out of school, is no match for someone like Lu Feng who has no bottom line. Business is like war; no matter how much military strategy you read, it's not as practical as going into battle.
The two parties drafted a contract, which Lu Feng reviewed twice before signing it after confirming that it was correct.
Inside the reception room, President Du sat there looking somewhat uneasy. They had been out for almost an hour, and there was still no news from inside. He was afraid that Lu Feng would come out and leave soon.
"Mr. Feng, are you interested in the entertainment industry?" Mr. Du couldn't help but ask. "My company, Starry Sky Media, is doing very well. I can offer Sun Hung Kai some shares as a free investment. What do you think?"
Feng Zhiyao was well aware of President Du's little tricks and schemes. He sat there with his legs crossed and said, "I'm not the chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties. Why are you asking me? I am not either. Why am I sitting here with you? I'm going back to my room to sleep."
As he spoke, Feng Zhiyao stood up, preparing to return to his room. Suddenly, Zhenkun opened the door and glanced into the room, saying, "We've finished talking. Everyone, come back and sit for a while."
Hot tea had already been laid out in the hall. Wu Jie and the others only saw that Lu Feng was still sitting there, and Mr. Feng's smile was much more amiable. The atmosphere in the hall was obviously much better.
This is a good sign.
“It’s getting late, and everyone is tired. I wanted to ask Mr. Lu to stay the night, but he kept declining, so I couldn’t insist.” Mr. Feng said to everyone, “Then I won’t stay any longer.”
"Um... Mr. Feng, I have something to ask you," President Du finally spoke up.
Mr. Feng glanced at him and then gave Lu Feng an inquiring look, since this man had come with him.
Lu Feng knew that President Du wanted to use him to get on board Sun Hung Kai's fast track. All he had to do was ask for a favor, which wouldn't be a bad deal.
"This is Mr. Du from Starry Sky Media. He admires you greatly and came here today mainly to meet you," Lu Feng said politely, pulling Mr. Du over.
Mr. Du looked at Lu Feng with more gratitude in his eyes, and then continued the conversation, saying, "Mr. Feng, my company is also preparing to raise funds, but I would like to borrow your name and give you five percent of the shares so that Sun Hung Kai can invest and become a shareholder!"
