When Lu Feng woke up in the morning, breakfast was already prepared: porridge, a cold dish, and eggs wrapped around slices of steamed bread, fried until golden brown and crispy.
He sat down and said to Aunt Liu and her daughter, "You two come and eat too. Just order whatever you like at home. I'm not a talkative person, but I'm not a serious one either."
"Please have a seat!" Jiang Xiaoyan invited.
Aunt Liu quickly thanked them, and the five of them sat down. Duo Duo watched as Zhou Ya picked up a slice of steamed bun and said, "Sister, have some!"
Zhou Ya nodded, and Aunt Liu looked at her daughter and said, "You should thank them."
"Thank you!" Zhou Ya said timidly.
"Aunt Liu, don't be so polite, just make yourself at home." Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Duoduo with a smile on her face.
Despite her mischievous behavior in front of Lu Feng and Jiang Xiaoyan, the little one is very well-behaved and sensible in front of outsiders. According to Lu Feng, she's only a bully at home, but everyone who sees her outside praises her as a polite and well-mannered child.
She knows all the manners she learned at school, but she's a real troublemaker in front of her parents. Lu Feng understands this about her personality. Her childhood was basically protected by Jiang Xiaoyan, and she lived in fear every day.
Now, when facing Lu Feng, there is a compensatory mentality, hoping to get more attention and endless pampering from Lu Feng. Educating children is a very complex subject.
After dinner, we took Duoduo to school. The house had already been cleaned up, so Aunt Liu and her daughter needed to find something to do. They couldn't just sit on the sofa and watch TV after only two days.
After dropping Duo Duo off, Lu Feng went to the R&D company. During this period, apart from attending banquets, he mainly kept an eye on the R&D company, especially paying attention to the progress of various R&D projects, making sure the direction didn't go astray.
Around 8 a.m., the construction site was already bustling with activity. Old Zhou didn't care about anything. His confidence in beating and kicking his wife stemmed from the fact that the children were grown up and she was old, and it was impossible for her to leave him.
However, once he actually left, how could he not feel uneasy? With his circumstances, where could he find a woman to live with?
Dropping the steel bars he was holding, Old Zhou climbed down from the scaffolding and jogged to the canteen. He found a woman there who was on good terms with Aunt Liu and asked, "My husband didn't say where he went?"
"Dead!" the woman said without looking up as she picked vegetables.
"Look at what you're saying! Where did you go? You should have told me!"
"He beat her to death with a stick that day, and no one on the construction site could stop him. Now he's thinking about his wife? Old Zhou, how can you be so heartless?"
"I just had a little drink, that's not..."
"When do you not drink? If it weren't for Erpang and his gang stopping you that day, you would have picked up a steel bar and started hitting them. Don't ask anymore, they've gone to work. How can anyone starve to death in a big city?" The woman said, putting the vegetable leaves into a garbage bag.
"What are you saying? It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. It's still a home, after all. Even if you don't care about me, there's still Xiaoya. She's a grown woman now. What kind of image would it be if she got married without her father?" Old Zhou advised, while also saying that he would never do it again.
The woman sighed, feeling helpless. Every family has its own problems, and many couples appear loving on the surface, but behind the scenes, they have a lot of trivial matters to deal with.
"She's gone to work as a nanny, don't worry."
Where is it?
"They're rich, they've gone to make money." The woman picked up the vegetables she had prepared and said, "I'm cooking, don't ask me any questions."
Old Zhou could tell that he probably wouldn't get any information from them in a day or two, so he had no choice but to go back to the construction site to work.
Besides visiting the R&D company, Lu Feng has also been going to Guangfa Trading several times in the past few days. The company seems to be quite legitimate, with all the necessary permits and licenses, and it has many partner companies.
Over the course of a week, I attended no fewer than ten banquets, and I encountered many foreign trade agency companies at these banquets.
Someone called him proactively, offering very low prices, only about two percent commission, and guaranteeing it was an irrevocable letter of credit transaction, making it sound incredibly appealing.
Lu Feng also learned a lot about the ins and outs of it. Although letters of credit seem to be very secure, there are many ways to tamper with them.
Letters of credit are mainly used for international trade and interbank transactions. They come in many types, including irrevocable letters of credit, confirmed letters of credit, sight letters of credit, deferred payment letters of credit, pseudo-deferred payment letters of credit, revolving letters of credit, non-revolving letters of credit, and so on.
Each letter of credit has different terms and different bank payment methods. For example, in agency trade exports, the other party may issue a tripartite letter of credit. In this type of letter of credit, the buyer is the payer, the agent company is the first beneficiary, and Jiafeng Electronics is the second beneficiary.
The biggest risk here is that if there are problems with the documents, the bank will be unable to cash the checks, and the money will be withheld by the agency and used for the company's working capital.
Collecting debts is a real hassle.
When Lu Feng was negotiating with Guangfa Trading, he hoped they would settle the payment directly without using a letter of credit, and sell the goods directly to them, letting them sell them wherever they wanted.
The other party refused to accept such conditions, arguing that they had never bought domestic electronic products internationally, and that they would need to take the goods to find buyers. They worried that if they couldn't sell them, they would be stuck with the goods, which was too risky.
Lu Feng talked to three companies that acted as agents for import and export trade. He understood the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket better than anyone else.
Even with the risk of being scammed, Lu Feng still wanted to give it a try to help domestic electronic products go global. Once this path was successful, he would immediately break away from the agency and do it himself. He had to give this a shot.
Feng Zhiyao has returned to Hong Kong. In the Feng family study, Mr. Feng picked up a brush, looked at a traditional Chinese ink painting in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and finally put it down.
