It is January 12, 1993, ten days before the Chinese New Year. The night wind is a bit cool, but heavy snow has already fallen in the north.
Lu Feng sat there, his mind blank, just staring blankly, like a wooden doll.
Everyone has moments like this, perhaps because they are too tired, or because they have too much on their mind, and they can't tell everyone everything.
As a man, being strong is an innate responsibility. Having lived two lives, Lu Feng has become accustomed to this responsibility.
But he also gets tired. In the past, when he was tired, he would find a deserted street to sit for a while, smoke a cigarette, and not want to talk to anyone, because there are very few people in this world who can understand you, or even none at all.
When you open your heart, the people around you may secretly laugh at you. This world is noisy, but it is also lonely.
Everyone has a place deep in their heart where a bunch of unspeakable things are piled up. Although they are covered in dust, they may suddenly jump into your mind in the dead of night.
Loneliness is a normal part of life. No matter how lively the New Year, how dazzling the fireworks, or how sincere the greetings, they are at most like the numbing effect of alcohol, allowing you to temporarily forget.
Perhaps, when we start accumulating unspeakable things in our hearts, they have already squeezed out the place for happiness.
Lu Feng thought a lot, his mind was in turmoil. Some faces flashed by, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. He was filled with emotion, but in the end, all that remained was a long sigh, which lingered in the wind and was heard by some sleepless person.
For the next few days, Lu Feng stayed at home every day playing house with Duo Duo. The little girl was very cunning, but she was very happy.
The harsh criticism of Jiafeng Electronics from the outside world has not stopped, and many people are speculating when it will go bankrupt, but these things have not made the headlines.
Perhaps because people were tired, for more than a year, every month someone would speculate that Jiafeng Electronics would go bankrupt, but it always miraculously survived.
In the absence of the internet, offline sales channels are extremely important, and in some companies, they are even more important than R&D, marketing, and suppliers.
In a city, there are only a few places to buy things, and once you're inside, there are only a few brands to choose from. If you can get your products in front of the customers, you've already won 50 percent of the battle.
If Jiafeng Electronics fails to manage the emotions of its distributors, its collapse could happen in an instant. The reason why a group of established TV manufacturers, represented by General Manager Li, have stopped their efforts to suppress Jiafeng Electronics' newly launched small home appliances is actually to see if Lu Feng can weather this storm.
Mr. Zheng, the general manager of Desheng and Dejin, also plans to wait and see before making a decision.
Jiafeng Electronics rented Shenzhen's newest stadium, which can accommodate 5,000 people, and is also reimbursing half of the travel and accommodation expenses for those attending the dealer conference.
The day before the scheduled date, Zhu Lidong called to say that several CEOs wanted to talk to him, but Lu Feng declined.
At times like this, they can't meet with any distributors privately. They came to Lu Feng because they wanted to find out more about him.
After lunch, Jiang Xiaoyan prepared some red envelopes and went out. Today she was giving red envelopes to her employees, and tomorrow Huasha Cosmetics would officially close for a break.
"Stay home with your dad," Jiang Xiaoyan instructed before leaving.
Lu Feng was pondering how to bring it up tomorrow when his pager suddenly rang. He picked it up and glanced at it; it read, "Have you forgotten about me? If you don't contact me soon, I'm going to call your house directly."
Lu Feng suddenly remembered that he had promised Su Yourong to talk about finance. He picked up the phone to make the call, glanced at Duo Duo, and stood up to walk towards the bedroom upstairs.
I dialed the number, and the other end answered within two rings.
"I thought you'd forgotten me. I was just thinking that if I didn't say who I was, you probably wouldn't be able to guess me. Looks like you haven't forgotten me after all," Su Yourong said softly, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.
"I've been quite busy these past few days, it's almost Chinese New Year," Lu Feng said.
"Are you still hung up on Jiang Xiaoyan? She has a great figure and is beautiful. You can't wait to stick to her. I can tell you're sounding weak and listless." Su Yourong teased, "But I still think she's not as good as me."
"Where is hello?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled.
"I have a feminine charm."
"What femininity? It's just being provocative. Let's not talk about that. Today, let's briefly discuss the equity structure framework of financial companies." Lu Feng changed the subject.
Lu Feng didn't want to talk too much about relationships between men and women, so he seriously started talking about the financial company, telling her about it little by little. But Su Yourong kept giggling on the other end of the phone, or asking, "Guess what I'm wearing right now?"
The phone call lasted an hour. Lu Feng exchanged a few polite words and hung up, telling her that he was going back to his hometown in a few days and wouldn't be able to call her to discuss these things for the time being.
The only serious thing Su Yourong said during the call was that she hoped to control Chen's Capital by this time next year.
Around 6 p.m., Lu Feng called Zhu Lidong to ask how the preparations were going, and the time was set for the next evening.
After settling things at the factory, Jiang Xiaoyan started preparing to go home, buying clothes for this person, gifts for that person, and preparing a lot of red envelopes. She spent an entire evening sitting there writing in a notebook.
"I'm going out to shop tomorrow, and I'll also buy some cotton-padded clothes for the whole family. My mom said it's freezing where we are now, the water tank has even cracked from the cold, it's really cold," Jiang Xiaoyan said without looking up.
