Gao Zhiwei recited all the swear words he had learned from Lu Feng. Although some of them were not very civilized, it felt really good, especially when he was under pressure. After swearing them out, he felt much more relaxed.
Today is January 20th, and the 22nd is Lunar New Year's Eve. The family has prepared all the food. Lu Feng's family is eating, and Xie Heng, Jiang Fuqiao, Jiang Fulu and others keep toasting Lu Feng.
After the children finished eating, they ran downstairs to play. Although they had moved to the city, the county town was not prosperous. There were large areas of wild fields and farmland, and groups of children with firecrackers in their pockets were setting them off everywhere.
The women finished eating and started packing up, while the men were still drinking around Lu Feng. They were discussing important matters, both domestic and international, and occasionally asked Lu Feng for advice on business. Sometimes they would try to find out if they could get orders from Jiaming Foods.
Not only were the Jiang brothers keeping an eye on the raw material supply factory for Jiaming Foods, but Xie Heng was also complaining that the sand pit business was not easy. He had some money in his hands and was implying that he hoped Lu Feng could help him get the raw material supply.
Lu Feng also stated bluntly that Jiaming Foods had slipped out of his control, and that its specific operations were decided by a vote of the board of directors, while he only had voting rights.
The drinking session lasted until after 3 p.m. Lu Feng's pager kept ringing. At first, it was just sarcastic remarks, but the later messages were all full of profanities, which made Lu Feng frown.
Hong Kong, the Fung family.
Feng Zhiyao returned yesterday. Before leaving, he visited Jiafeng Electronics' factory and had a long talk with several senior executives, including Zhu Lidong and Zhang Fengxia.
The Feng family courtyard was already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Their family was quite large. Feng Zhiyao had two older brothers, both of whom had their own businesses. One was the overseas head of Sun Hung Kai Properties in the United States, and the other was in Singapore, developing new financial markets.
They would all come back for the New Year. Of the three brothers, only Feng Zhiyao had nothing but enthusiasm.
Inside the study, Mr. Feng nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the couplet he had written. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feng Zhiyao walk in and said, "Put this couplet on the door of the study. Go get a stool."
Feng Zhiyao brought over stools, and the father and son put up Spring Festival couplets. Mr. Feng stood aside watching and asked, "How did you feel after being away for a while?"
"It's very impressive!" Feng Zhiyao said, expressing his true feelings.
"Shocking?" Mr. Feng asked, puzzled. "What's so shocking?"
"I used to think that the mainland was so poor that people couldn't even afford to eat. Shenzhen is very new and prosperous. I went to Suzhou, and although it's not as good as Shenzhen, it's still much better than the mainland I imagined," Feng Zhiyao said, expressing his true feelings.
“Suzhou and Hangzhou have been prosperous cities since ancient times, how could they be inferior? Your head is full of foreign things. If you had read even a couple of lines of poetry, you wouldn’t look down on Suzhou and Hangzhou.” Mr. Feng sighed and said, “I guess you’ve broadened your horizons. How is Lu Feng as a person?”
“This person has good qualities!” Feng Zhiyao said earnestly.
Seeing that his arrogant attitude had subsided considerably and a smile had appeared on his face, Mr. Feng realized that being able to recognize the strengths in others was progress, and asked, "What are some of your strengths that I can learn from you?"
"Shameless!!"
"Huh?" Mr. Feng was stunned for a moment before saying, "What kind of advantage is that?"
"But I think that's his biggest strength. He's also greedy and ruthless. In order to bind his distributors, he made his vice president apologize. He even cried on stage, pretending to be weak and trying to gain sympathy. You know, when product sales drop, they push inventory onto distributors and tell them about their dreams, using the future to lure these people."
Feng Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "This person will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Once Jiafeng Electronics collapses, those distributors will be ruined!"
"Didn't you notice his positive and uplifting qualities?" Mr. Feng asked.
Feng Zhiyao thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This person is not a positive person. I talked to his executives, and there's something about him. I'd like to go and see him after the New Year."
Mr. Feng was somewhat helpless. Lu Feng did have a bit of a scoundrel's air about him, but most importantly, he had a broad perspective. He was a man with ambitions and had a unique vision in terms of recognizing people, industrial planning, and the market.
You can't get anything done by being ruthless and deceitful. Even if you did, you'd just be a street thug.
"You can decide for yourself. Go if you want." Mr. Feng put his hands behind his back and stepped into the house.
What Feng Zhiyao saw in Lu Feng was only the most superficial aspect. All his methods were for the ultimate goal. Although his methods were not very clean, his goal was very bright and righteous.
It was already five o'clock in the evening. Lu Feng was a little tipsy, and his pager was ringing more frequently, with a message coming in almost every few minutes. Needless to say, the content was all cursing him.
"Beep beep beep!"
Lu Feng picked it up and glanced at it. The contents read: "If you have the guts, call me and I'll curse you to death. Why are you bragging so much? Come to the market if you dare. Whoever backs down is a coward. I've kept the whole factory running for you, and all you can do is curse, huh?"
The next part is a phone number.
"Who is it? They keep calling you. Why don't you call back?" Jiang Xiaoyan said.
Lu Feng waved his hand, preparing to put the pager aside, when another message came in.
"Beep beep beep!"
You son of a bitch, you really think you're something special just because of one lucky break? When the cat's away, the mice will play, and you're acting like a business guru. If Jiaming Foods doesn't drop by at least 20% this month...
