President Jiang was naturally not in a good mood. He had placed very high hopes on Lu Feng, but after waiting for so many days, this was the answer he received.
"I'll leave it to you to handle. This thing has really worn me out. I'm not suited for business; I'm better suited to working on my own things." President Jiang sighed, looking somewhat haggard.
“I really can’t do this. If I mess it up for you and then I take over, what am I? Am I even human? Mr. Jiang, you must apply for the patent. You can sell licenses. I’ll give you a safety net: 50 million RMB to invest in production. You don’t have to pay a single penny. You’ll have a 50% stake, and the patent will still be in your hands. This is my guarantee for you.”
“If someone offers a higher price, you should talk to them, understand?” Lu Feng said sincerely, looking at him.
"Didn't you say it was 150 million? How did it become 50 million?" President Jiang's wife complained, "Aren't you professionals? You dropped two-thirds of it."
"Do you understand business? Don't talk nonsense." President Jiang looked at Lu Feng and said, "I still want to thank you. The business world is full of twists and turns and tricks. To be honest, I'm a little scared. I know you didn't do this on purpose. You did it for my own good."
"I'm ashamed! I'm so ashamed!" Lu Feng sighed deeply.
Lu Feng comforted him for a while and told him very firmly that he should first try to find out the domestic prices, and if that didn't work, then come back to him. Even if he lost the 50 million, it wouldn't be his problem at all, since he still held the patent rights and could sell it again.
After Lu Feng left, President Jiang's wife sat there with a gloomy face and said, "I think that President Lu, so young, doesn't seem like a good person."
"Shut up, you're just a teacher, what do you know?" President Jiang said bluntly.
"The original price of 150 million was so high, yet the negotiations broke down. I'm telling you, just agree to it. Once you have the money, you'll be set.
"That 150 million is for you? That's an investment company. I own shares in it, and the patent rights belong to the company. It's risky. If things go wrong, I might not get a single penny. Giving you 150 million to buy your patent rights? What are you dreaming of?" President Jiang retorted.
"My woman's intuition tells me that this Lu Feng is no good."
"You're just relying on your intuition." President Jiang stood up, packed his things, and said, "Discharge!"
The two packed their things and muttered to themselves as they returned home. At any moment, foreign capital would withdraw, and domestic capital and swindlers would flock in. Some even waited downstairs at his house, claiming to be some powerful company and asking for 100 million yuan.
Mr. Jiang has learned a lot during this period. He doesn't ask what kind of company the other party is or how much money they have. He only asks for one thing: a ten-year patent license, tens of millions of yuan, and a cash payment and contract signing.
The other party talked at length about the cooperative company and the production prospects, but General Manager Jiang ignored them all. As for the cooperative company, it was not impossible. Nowadays, the registered capital of companies is based on a subscription system. He could talk about it after the money was subscribed.
Over two days, various people trying to make money without any investment took turns trying to scam people. There are so many scammers these days. They don't care about success or failure. They just follow the same script. If they can't fool one person, they might be able to fool another.
Mr. Jiang was exhausted from talking to them. They were all scammers or small companies. Many people who were genuinely interested in VCDs and were preparing to produce them didn't contact him.
They're just waiting for a fool to buy it, then they produce it, buy the product back, disassemble it, and then pirate it. That's how society is; it's deeply ingrained. That's also why Mr. Jiang was disappointed with patent rights in his previous life and didn't even register them.
For two days, Lu Feng stayed in the hotel, mostly calling Jiang Xiaoyan to inquire about the company's sales and the media company's progress.
The media company has been registered, and negotiations are underway to bring the first batch of celebrities to the mainland. A dubbing studio has been established in Beijing to collaborate with film studios for dubbing Hong Kong films, and the acquisition of some music copyrights is also being accelerated.
Seeing that Lu Feng hadn't made any moves in the past two days, Feng Zhiyao knocked on the door and came in, asking, "Brother Feng, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"
"Rob? Those who really want to rob are already itching to do it, but not now, after production is complete. The copyright culture in China is already corrupt. It won't be possible without more than a decade of strengthened supervision and increased policy力度. Besides, I'm not in a hurry. What's in a hurry now is the municipal government," Lu Feng said casually.
"Municipal?" Feng Zhiyao asked, somewhat puzzled.
It is indeed a municipal matter. Now that foreign capital has withdrawn, they must implement this matter this year. Other domestic companies, seeing that foreign capital has withdrawn, are naturally not in a hurry and are all waiting to get something for nothing.
It's like a girl who gets dumped, thinking there are tons of suitors vying to marry her, only to find a bunch of ugly ducklings squatting next to her, not only refusing to give a bride price but also wanting more dowry.
Looking at it this way, Lu Feng seems to be a particularly suitable matchmaker.
Mayor Wang has already reached an agreement with Lu Feng in private. Now it's time to persuade President Jiang. President Jiang also wants Lu Feng to take over, but Lu Feng has been repeatedly declining.
Inside the office, General Manager Jiang sat opposite, looking quite unwell. Mayor Wang, sitting across from him, smoked a cigarette and advised, "The foreign capital has already left. Let bygones be bygones. You've seen the situation in China, and you've encountered quite a few scammers these past few days. I think Jiafeng Electronics is a good company. What do you think?"
"I told him that day that Mr. Lu felt that if we broke up the negotiations, he wouldn't agree, and he felt he would be letting me down." Mr. Jiang sighed and picked up a cigarette from the table.
Mayor Wang choked on his cigarette and coughed repeatedly when he heard this. Lu Feng still wasn't willing?
