Mr. Zheng immediately contacted Li Quanliang and told him the news. Li Quanliang was very excited after hearing it.
"President Zheng, you really have a knack for this. In the market, time is money. The faster we produce, the faster we can capture the market. This time, take an engineer with you," President Li said excitedly.
"Don't worry, should we talk to Mr. Hou from TCL, and also to companies like Panda and Konka?" Mr. Zheng asked.
"Let's not talk about this yet, Mr. Zheng. Our relationship isn't like those other companies, you understand?" Li Quanliang kept him in suspense. He knew what Mr. Zheng wanted, and said, "If Jiafeng Electronics really goes bankrupt, do you have the money to buy in?"
"I don't have that much cash, and that's been bothering me for a while now," Mr. Zheng said with a sigh.
“I can lend you some of my money. You can mortgage the factory to me and I can give you low interest. If there are any policies in place, interest-free is also an option. We’re all family here, so it’s easy to talk.”
"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Li. Changhong shines so much brighter under your management than before." General Manager Zheng quickly began to flatter him.
The two chatted for a while, mainly about how to take down Jiafeng Electronics' VCD business. In this matter, these two companies became the core companies, while other companies were placed on the periphery. The two communicated as soon as they had any news, and then decided whether to notify other companies.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Li leaned back in his chair and hummed "Shajiabang." He thought to himself, "Mr. Zheng's industry isn't big, but his ambitions are. He actually wants to swallow Jiafeng Electronics. He's really insatiable."
If things proceed as planned, Mr. Li doesn't want to bring down Lu Feng only to have another General Manager Zheng rise up. Changhong still has significant technological shortcomings in small home appliances. If they can swallow both General Manager Zheng and Lu Feng, their position as the industry leader will be very secure in the future.
The more Mr. Li thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't help but grin and mutter to himself, "With the company doing so well, I wonder if I'll get promoted in a few years? These days, all the heads of state-owned enterprises are going to important positions. If only I were..."
The more Mr. Li thought about it, the happier he became. He was so happy that he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He felt that his life was full of light!
Everyone has their own calculations. As the saying goes, you're eyeing someone else's high returns, while someone else is eyeing your principal. The numbers in front of everyone seem particularly attractive.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaoyan took Duoduo to school. The little guy stayed up all night to finish his homework and finally did it. Around nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Cheng called and said that three VCD players had been produced, but the meeting yesterday said that the parts that needed optimization had not yet been completed.
Lu Feng told them not to move and picked up the phone to call President Zheng.
"Hey, Mr. Zheng, it's me, Lu Feng. What's up?" Lu Feng asked with a grin, his face beaming with happiness.
"Just finished a meeting, what's up?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to watch a VCD yesterday? I happen to be going to the R&D company today, let's watch one together, and then have lunch together, how about it?" Lu Feng asked.
"So soon?" President Zheng was overjoyed. He thought Lu Feng would postpone it for two days, but he didn't expect him to be so proactive. He hurriedly said, "No problem, where should we meet? I'll be there right away!"
"Right here at the entrance of the R&D company? Didn't you say you were bringing a friend?" Lu Feng asked.
"I just feel bad that he's interested in such an important matter; it's a trade secret," Mr. Zheng said politely.
"We're all brothers, what's with all the secrets? You have to bring your friends. I'll definitely give you face today, you understand?"
"Okay, absolutely no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng changed his clothes and drove to the R&D company. He waited downstairs for only a few minutes before President Zheng's car pulled up at the door.
"Why did President Lu personally greet you? Just arrange for a security guard to give directions." President Zheng got out of the car, followed by a man who looked to be in his forties, bald, wearing a casual shirt and a pair of high-prescription glasses.
This guy's appearance and attire practically scream "engineer."
"Let me introduce you. This is my friend, his family is in the building materials business. That... his name is He Tian. This is Mr. Lu, the CEO of Jiafeng Electronics," said General Manager Zheng.
Lu Feng was all too familiar with President Zheng's tricks. Looking at his slightly stiff face, his shifty eyes, and his hand clenching nervously, it was enough to fool most people, but it was still a bit naive for Lu Feng, who paid more attention to details.
"Hello, welcome, welcome." Lu Feng shook hands with the other person.
After exchanging a few polite words, they went upstairs. Along the way, Lu Feng kept telling He Tian how good his relationship with President Zheng was, and that he would do anything for President Zheng except for his wife and children.
"President Liu, are you ready?" Lu Feng asked as he opened Liu Cheng's office.
"Alright, we can go now." Liu Cheng stood up and gave the order to the person next to him. After introducing themselves to each other, they walked out the door and headed towards the conference room.
Three VCD players were placed on the conference room table. One was assembled, and the other two had been disassembled. Lu Feng introduced, "This is the VCD player!"
"Such a small thing!" Mr. Zheng stared wide-eyed at it. It was the first time he had ever seen one, and he was extremely curious.
"Take a look, it's just this little thing, but it cost me fifty million." Lu Feng said, sitting halfway down on the conference table, and boasted, "Let me tell you, this thing will sweep the market this year, and you can forget about selling videotapes anymore."
"New technology is amazing! Is this thing really expensive? The cost must be shockingly high, right?" President Zheng asked, gesturing to He Tian with his hand behind his back, signaling him to take a look quickly.
