This person is really something else, acting like a hypocrite. He was angry, but he didn't dare to tell Boss Jiang. He couldn't very well say, "We made a deal in private, and I sold you out."
“President Lu is a good person, and he was doing this for your own good. I never expected it to turn out like this. This project must be implemented as soon as possible; it can’t be delayed. You know him well; he’s truly a very good partner,” Mayor Wang advised.
“I agree. Why are you trying to persuade me? You go and persuade him. I’m really exhausted by this. You go and talk to President Lu. He feels guilty when he sees me. Maybe it will be better if you two step in.” After saying that, President Jiang stood up and said, “I’m going back to the research institute.”
Mayor Wang sighed as he watched his retreating figure. He was foolish, but you couldn't really blame him for being foolish. It was just that Lu Feng was too shrewd. From beginning to end, he was doing things to trick Jiang Wanmeng, but in front of him, he always presented himself as someone who would protect him without hesitation.
Mayor Wang picked up the phone on the table and called Lu Feng.
Lu Feng reclined in the wicker chair and answered the phone, "Who is this?"
"Mayor Wang, Director Jiang has agreed. Do you want to continue pretending and sign the contract in a few days, or tomorrow?" Mayor Wang asked.
"Let's do it tomorrow, lest something goes wrong. When the time comes, tell President Jiang the truth: you've been persuading him for a long time. Let's hold a signing ceremony and a media conference. You can go up and say a few words. Make sure you have all the proper decorum," Lu Feng thought to himself.
"Don't worry, someone will take care of these things."
The following day, it was officially announced that the VCD technology had been acquired by Jiafeng Electronics, which immediately caused a stir. Smart people had already realized that this was all a trick played by Lu Feng.
He Jiale and Vice Mayor Liu were overjoyed, while Huang Youwei was the only one who put the newspaper aside after reading it.
The signing ceremony was held that afternoon. In fact, before that, all the stages, promotional materials, and site selection for the industrial base had been arranged. It was like a wedding, where everything was arranged except for the groom.
The slogan on the backdrop of the stage was the name of a foreign company. Due to time constraints, the staff made a patch and pasted the words "Jiafeng Electronics" on it.
There were many media present. Lu Feng sat in the front row next to President Jiang, and the two chatted quietly.
"President Lu, I really don't understand business, I don't have the talent for it. I won't interfere too much in the company's internal affairs," President Jiang said, looking like a wilted eggplant.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a share of the profits every year. Half of the company's total output is yours. How could your brother let you down?" Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Leave it all to me."
Mayor Wang stood on the stage and explained a lot of things that had happened before, which could be considered a response. He also explained why he chose Jiafeng Electronics.
He spoke for an hour, his spittle flying everywhere. Finally, it was Lu Feng's turn. Stepping onto the stage, Lu Feng looked at the crowd and said, "First of all, I would like to pay tribute to the scientific researchers across the country. I firmly believe that this technology is just our first breakthrough. In the next few years, a hundred flowers will bloom. Jiafeng Electronics is especially honored to have obtained the patent authorization from General Manager Jiang. Jiafeng Electronics will continue to adhere to the principle of high quality, low price, and sincere service to the people, bringing VCDs to thousands of households."
He said a lot of polite words, but also revealed a key piece of information: the VCDs produced by Jiafeng Electronics will not be very expensive. Then he talked about the industrial base.
After the speeches, the signing ceremony began. Jiafeng Electronics, the Municipal Government, and General Manager Jiang all signed the contract, exchanged texts, shook hands, and applause rang out.
They had dinner together that evening. Lu Feng hoped to get things started as soon as possible. President Jiang needed to go to the R&D company to hand over all the design drafts and tell Liu Cheng the core details. He also asked the R&D company to start designing and negotiating the appearance, packaging, and supply chain as soon as possible.
After dinner, back at the hotel, Lu Feng called Liu Cheng, Zhang Fengxia, Zhu Lidong, and others, telling them that the focus for the next month or two must be on VCDs.
Feng Zhiyao booked a flight to Suzhou for the next day. Lu Feng needed to go back to take charge of the overall situation. Once the product was launched, a whole host of problems would arise, such as the cities where it needed to be sold, the average purchasing power of the people, and issues like plagiarism and piracy.
Mr. Zheng and Mr. Li were on the phone, discussing nothing more than how to take the products back and disassemble them as soon as they were manufactured, and how to block Jiafeng Electronics' VCDs in various markets.
The discussion was very detailed. The hardware was already in place, and we talked a lot about the software. Mr. Zheng believed that, given the price of VCDs, the target audience should be the upper-middle class.
In terms of content creation, we should focus on high-end items, such as foreign symphonies, waltzes, ballroom dancing, aerobics, or high-quality films that are related to art.
