After Da Tou and Han Dong left, Lu Feng tidied up the table, sat down, and saw Gao Zhiwei still staring at him. He said, "Do I have flowers on my face?"
"Are you really not worried?"
"This is expected, what's the panic?" Lu Feng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have the photos from last time been developed yet?"
"It's washed out, what are you doing?"
"That's good." Lu Feng nodded, flipping through a large pile of folders on the table, and asked, "What's the current market share? How much stock are you consuming each day, and what about raw materials?"
"I heard from Da Tou that it's more than two thousand yuan. The remaining money can last for about three or four days."
"That's enough!" Lu Feng closed the folder, pulled out a piece of paper, and started writing. He would pause every now and then to think for a moment. Halfway through, he said, "Don't bother your men lately. They don't need to push the market anymore. Just hand out some flyers. There's something big going on."
"What's the big deal?" Gao Zhiwei asked, puzzled.
"Do you know about Project 1024?" Lu Feng asked casually.
Gao Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat. This string of numbers would make anyone in big cities grit their teeth in hatred. Countless people had gone bankrupt because of it, the very beginning of pyramid schemes.
"Are you crazy? Is this your idea?"
“Don’t get angry when you hear ‘Project 1024.’ That’s called ‘Project 1024 Sunshine Project.’ Mine is called ‘Project 1024 Financial Project.’ In our small town, not many people have heard of pyramid schemes. We’re just using its name,” Lu Feng explained.
Gao Zhiwei stared at him speechlessly, a man who even tried to capitalize on the hype surrounding pyramid schemes. He nodded and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Print the photos I took that day onto the flyers, put my slogan on them, and tell people that I have a special relationship with the bank and that I'm a close friend of President Ma. Now the country has launched the 1024 Financial Project. Invest in the Pearl River Delta region, and no matter how much you invest, you'll get your money back in five months. For the remaining ten months, you'll receive 20% of the profits each month, and finally get your principal back. Limited spots available, first come, first served."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he looked at Gao Zhiwei and asked, "Did you understand?"
Gao Zhiwei didn't say anything. He stood up, walked to the landline, picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and pressed '1' twice.
"What are you doing?" Lu Feng slammed down the phone, staring at him with wide eyes. "Are you crazy?"
“Call 110! There’s a criminal involved in illegal fundraising here. If I don’t call the police, I’ll be an accomplice.” Gao Zhiwei looked at him and said, “Do you know how many years you’ll get for doing this? And you’re even returning 20% every month? How many months can you keep doing this?”
"Don't rush me, listen to me. Of course I know that illegal fundraising is illegal!" Lu Feng smiled slyly and said, "For example, if we raise three million, we'll return six hundred thousand in the first month, leaving us with two million four hundred thousand. With that money, I can definitely take down Ren Qianbo by the second month. Then, I'll tell those people that illegal fundraising is illegal, and we are law-abiding citizens. We'll return the money in full, so they won't lose anything, and we won't have committed any crimes."
Gao Zhiwei was stunned for a moment before he reacted, clapping and exclaiming in amazement, "President Lu, it's fortunate you went into business, otherwise someone like you would be of no benefit to society at all."
"Why do I feel uncomfortable with your compliments? I know you admire me."
Gao Zhiwei understood that Lu Feng was exploiting legal loopholes. Only when illegal fundraising led to a broken capital chain and caused significant losses would he be held accountable. His method was simply a way to borrow money from others in disguise.
"Comparing yourself to Ren Qianbo in spending money will definitely result in huge losses. Whether you can make up for those losses or not, you'll still have to go to jail. And if someone reports you, you might get arrested..."
Gao Zhiwei paused in his speech, looked at Lu Feng suspiciously, and asked, "Are you the legal representative of this factory?"
"Putting that aside, given the size of Wanyuan Foods, we'd need to invest at least a million yuan. But I think five or six hundred thousand yuan should be enough, then we can tighten the discounts at the retail level."
As Gao Zhiwei listened to his incessant chatter, he realized that he wasn't the legal representative of the factory, so even if it collapsed, he wouldn't be the one arrested. He still had time to continue operating.
Gao Zhiwei even felt that when Ren Qianbo smashed his workshop, Lu Feng was already planning everything now, arranging all the arrangements perfectly.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhiwei felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at the smiling Lu Feng, he felt a chill run down his spine. This guy was too petty. He could have chosen so many industries to start a business, but he chose to enter the children's food industry. He was really vindictive.
"What do you think?" Lu Feng asked, placing his calculation spreadsheet in front of him.
"If you think it's okay, then it's okay, Mr. Lu. Don't worry, I am loyal to you and have no other intentions. I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation. If I have offended you in the past, please don't take it to heart!" Gao Zhiwei said humbly.
Lu Feng looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, just tell me and I'll do it!"
"Pick a few people with good judgment. You can't be too explicit about this kind of thing, or you'll give them something to talk about. Just give them a hint," Lu Feng instructed.
"I see!"
Gao Zhiwei discussed some more details and then left with his men!
Ren Qianbo had just hung up the phone with President Zuo, his face full of smiles. Seeing him so happy, Liu Biao smiled and flattered him, saying, "President Ren, you're not really going to fight him. Just a little force, and you'll have a fatal blow!"
Ren Qianbo's smile faded, and he raised his hand to gesture for silence before speaking, "I thought he would drag it out, since according to the contract, they can only delay for half a month. I didn't expect him to settle it so quickly!"
"It doesn't matter whether it's settled sooner or later. He probably realizes he's no match for you and is now in despair."
Ren Qianbo could only hope for this, but he had known Lu Feng for some time. Although Lu Feng was young, he was very shrewd and would push him to the brink of collapse and despair.
"I have to go check on it!" Ren Qianbo was extremely worried.
Mr. Chen called Ren Qianbo to congratulate him on continuing to dominate the children's food industry. After exchanging a few polite words, they hung up.
After finishing his work, General Manager Huang picked up the phone and said, "Secretary Niu, come in for a moment."
A few minutes later, a man in his forties walked in and said, "Mr. Huang, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'll transfer driver Xiao Zhao to a different position in a few days. I'll arrange for a quick-witted person to come over. Being a driver isn't something just anyone can do; it's not just about driving, you know?"
"I understand, don't worry."
At 11:30 a.m., Lu Feng was eating lunch in the small canteen when a security guard ran in and said, "Director Lu, there's a General Manager Ren who wants to see you. He says he wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
"Fuck your mother!" Big Head cursed, his mouth full of rice, and rice grains sprayed out.
"Don't swear, we're all civilized people." Han Dong reassured Da Tou, then turned to the security guard and said, "Please tell him I swear!"
“Let’s talk!” Lu Feng put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, “Have him park his car outside and come in. I’ll wait for him in my office.”
