Mr. Zheng is very slick. When the issue of channel sharing was not settled, he started thinking about backing out. After everyone politely went downstairs, Lu Feng personally saw Mr. Zheng off to his car.
"President Lu, the world is a place where unity is followed by division, and division by unity. The electronics industry will undergo tremendous changes in the next few years. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, survival is the top priority. If we join forces, there will be no harm and only benefits." President Zheng looked at Lu Feng seriously and said, "I hope you will think about it carefully."
“I know, how about we make a gentleman’s agreement? Before we cooperate, we’ll inform each other of any developments in the market, and we won’t engage in direct confrontation.” Lu Feng asked, “What do you think?”
"No problem, Mr. Lu. I know Jiafeng Electronics is having a tough time. Don't try to tough it out. Bankruptcy is just company liquidation, it doesn't really affect you. If you really can't hold on, then apply for bankruptcy reorganization. I feel like the situation this year is shrouded in gloom."
Mr. Zheng's words were particularly alarming, as if the world was about to end.
Lu Feng laughed. After chatting for so long, he finally revealed his thoughts. So he wanted to copy Jiafeng Electronics' secrets. But copying those secrets is not easy; it's easy to end up in the King of Hell.
"President Zheng, you've even planned out the bankruptcy reorganization for me?" Lu Feng said, looking at him.
"No, it's just that the current market environment is like this, Mr. Lu. Changhong has the ambition of the Qin state, and we can't be complacent. Right now, in the south there are Konka, TCL, Skyworth, and others, and in the north there is Haier... and..." Mr. Zheng's hand, which was sticking out of the car window, froze.
"That's all. They're mostly in the south. The rest are peonies, chrysanthemums, and things like that," Lu Feng said, helping him out.
"But the central region is a big threat. You started out relying on pandas. Do you know how glorious pandas used to be? In the next two years, it will be a battleground for many, not to mention foreign invaders like Sharp and Sony..."
"Alright, alright, go back to sleep." Lu Feng grabbed his hand and shoved it into the car, saying, "Go back and talk to your wife about borrowing money, stop with the fancy words."
"Really, the current situation is very similar to the Warring States period. The world is about to be in turmoil. Who will be able to compete for the Central Plains and rule the world? It is unknown many years from now. But we are in the midst of the struggle of a great era. We should remember our mission. Great changes bring great opportunities. We should strive to be strong. If we do not speak out, we will make a name for ourselves. Our cooperation is like a widow finding a bachelor. It's a perfect match..."
Lu Feng couldn't stand it anymore and waved to the driver, signaling that he could drive.
The car had already started moving forward, and President Zheng was still gesturing out the window with one hand, shouting, "President Lu, we must seriously consider our cooperation. In this great era, we should strive for great things. My heart is filled with ambition; I am confident I can live two hundred years, and I will surely ride the waves for three thousand miles..."
Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, standing there speechless. This guy was really good at playing the fool.
Wei Yandan pondered from the side, "I think President Zheng's analogy for the current situation is quite appropriate."
“This man seems to have a fire burning in his chest.” Feng Zhiyao said with deep emotion, “I never expected that there would be so many passionate people on the mainland. I believe his future will be extraordinary.”
"He spouts a few lines, and you get all worked up about it, huh?" Lu Feng looked at him and said, "Whether someone is ordinary or extraordinary has nothing to do with their abilities. As for having a burning passion, what good is that? Do you really think every spark can start a prairie fire? How many fires would there be every year then?"
"I just think he's so bold and ambitious, that kind of feeling... you're not like a young person at all. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you." Feng Zhiyao waved his hand dismissively, his face full of disdain. Sometimes he felt that Lu Feng had a knack for putting people down.
“I know what you want. You go to a night market, sit there and listen to people spouting dreams. Your state of mind is important, but more importantly, you need to be realistic. You can talk a good game, but the next day when you sober up, you won’t know what to do. Are you addicted to listening to people brag?” Lu Feng said to the two of them, “Go back to sleep.”
Lu Feng had already guessed most of what President Zheng was thinking, and could only say that while President Zheng's idea was good, there was absolutely no room for its implementation.
Many companies will indeed go bankrupt this year, but Jiafeng Electronics is not among them. Moreover, Lu Feng knows that there are quite a few people who are hoping for Jiafeng Electronics to collapse so they can have a feast.
It was almost 11 o'clock when Lu Feng got back to his room, but he was still worried, so he called Jiang Wanmeng.
"Hello, who is it?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously asleep, and their voice was somewhat muffled.
"Brother, it's me, Lu Feng. How's it going over there?" Lu Feng asked with concern.
"They're coming tomorrow, and I don't know how to negotiate. There are a lot of things involved, the key being the patent rights and the equity ratio of the joint venture." The person on the other end of the phone sighed with some worry.
“You’re in R&D, so it’s normal that you don’t know these things. It’s okay, I’m here with the brothers. I’ll definitely talk it out for you when I get there. I have some things to take care of here, so I’ll go over after I’m settled. How about the day after tomorrow?” Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, “If you think the timing isn’t right, I’ll bring some people over to talk to you first.”
"No, no, no, it's too much trouble for you. I already feel bad for making you put your own things aside, and your actions really make me feel ashamed." The voice on the phone was full of apology.
“It’s alright, don’t be so formal with me. You finally have a chance, and as your brother, I’ll definitely help you. Let them rest for a few days, and I’ll bring people over then.” Lu Feng was afraid that he would be fooled, so he reminded him, “Don’t agree to anything before I go, so that it won’t be easy to negotiate.”
"Thank you so much."
