Seeing that he could do this after taking a few deep breaths, Feng Zhiyao exclaimed in amazement, "Brother Feng, you have to unbuckle your belt to take off your pants, but you do it much faster than that."
"Shut up, just don't laugh for a bit, let's go!" Lu Feng said in a low voice, picking up a fruit basket and entering through the gate.
In a private ward on the third floor, Mr. Jiang looked to be in good spirits. He hadn't been reading newspapers or answering the phone for the past few days, and seemed to have been reborn.
His wife, sitting next to him, peeled an orange and said, "You're so carefree, leaving everything to outsiders. Aren't you afraid they'll screw you over?"
“They’re professionals. Leave professional matters to professionals. It’s complicated here, you wouldn’t understand.” Mr. Jiang took the orange and said, “My brother is a really good guy, absolutely no problem.”
"You keep talking about brothers all the time. You're an intellectual, but you act like you're from Liangshan Marsh."
Lu Feng walked to the door, knocked, and President Jiang's wife looked up, opened the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
“I’m looking for General Manager Jiang,” Lu Feng said.
"He is unwell and cannot receive guests. I'm sorry!"
When President Jiang turned around and saw that it was Lu Feng, he quickly got out of bed and said, "This is President Lu. Let him in. Brother, how did your talks go?"
Lu Feng entered the room and saw that President Jiang looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but no words came out. Instead, there was an indescribable guilt in the depths of his eyes.
Although he didn't say a word, President Jiang already knew everything.
Feng Zhiyao stood to the side, pursing his lips, constantly telling himself not to laugh, he absolutely mustn't burst out laughing.
"It's alright, even if we can't raise the price, it doesn't matter. I know you've been very tired lately, please have a seat!" General Manager Jiang said politely.
"Brother! I feel guilty, I...I'm so sorry." Lu Feng's lips were trembling. He sniffed and said, "You trusted me so much, and I've made such a mess of things."
"It's alright, anything is fine. I'm already incredibly grateful that you came to help me." President Jiang comforted Lu Feng, saying, "Don't blame yourself. What price did you negotiate? Or is it the same as before, and the other party is refusing to budge?"
"That's how it is." Lu Feng composed himself and said, "I argued on your behalf, but the municipal government wouldn't allow it, fearing it would scare away foreign investment. I worked on it for several days, blocking the gate and stopping cars, and finally managed to persuade Mayor Wang."
"My target price was $20 million. I was willing to make some concessions on company shares. But when the municipal government saw that they were actually willing to pay that much, they wanted more and asked me to keep negotiating. So I used the extreme pressure tactic and asked for $30 million!"
"Who knew I'd angered them? I realized this price wouldn't work, so I quickly renegotiated. The municipal government wanted to push the price up, but all my efforts were in vain. In the end, the negotiations broke down. Even General Manager Feng pulled out all the stops. We even used a connection in the US to go directly to the head office."
“They even used the influence of Mr. Feng’s father.” Lu Feng finished speaking and looked at Feng Zhiyao.
"Yes, I called my father. He's quite familiar with the company there and wanted to give them another chance to talk. My dad said... pfft..." Feng Zhiyao couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly shut his mouth, covering it with his hand. He wanted to laugh just thinking about his dad talking about this. How could that be?
What's wrong with him?
“He feels sorry for you.” Lu Feng stood up, reached out and pushed him outside, saying, “Go outside and cry.”
After Lu Feng returned, he looked at President Jiang and said, "It's all my fault, no matter what. Things have come to this, and I feel especially sorry for you. I'll make it up to you. Just name your price."
"No way, I already feel bad that you've worked so hard for nothing, how could I possibly take your money? How could I face anyone then?" President Jiang firmly refused.
"The most troublesome thing right now is this technology. It's such a good thing, it's just sitting there unused, what a waste," Lu Feng muttered to himself.
"How can we just leave it there? Didn't we agree that if foreign investors don't invest, you'll invest? Mr. Lu, I feel very reassured leaving it in your hands," Mr. Jiang said earnestly.
"No way!" Lu Feng stood up and waved his hand, saying, "It's not like I broke up with the deal because I wanted the technology. There are plenty of companies in China that want to invest. You talk to those companies first. I already told you, I'll back you up!!!"
