Lu Feng looked at the painting and nodded, saying, "I don't know much about this kind of thing either, but it's really lifelike, especially the dog, it looks just like the one I drew."
Mr. Feng laughed and squinted as he said, "Actually, this painting was done last year. The theme is family happiness, but I felt something was missing. I was distracted at the time. If you don't like it, Mr. Lu, you can change it."
"No need, no need, this one is quite good." Lu Feng put the painting away and said, "This painting is definitely unique, just like a misprinted banknote. I can pass it on to future generations."
"President Lu is really likable." Mr. Feng kept staring at Lu Feng, not noticing anything unusual about him. He felt that this shouldn't be the case, but then he thought that since Lu Feng didn't understand ink painting, he could understand.
"Hong Kong has been quite turbulent lately. Chen's Capital's stock has been manipulated. After being bought in multiple accounts, there has been no movement. It's unclear whether they are shorting or going long. The Hong Kong dollar has depreciated and appreciated at the same time, and there has been a clear outflow of capital from the island. Have you seen the latest global investment rankings released by major Western banks?"
Lu Feng shook his head and said, "I didn't look, those are too far away from me."
"Hong Kong's ranking in the business and investment environment has dropped four places, but its ranking in the world's most livable cities has risen ten places. However, in the past two years, Hong Kong's environment has deteriorated a lot, and shooting incidents have increased." Mr. Feng sighed as he leaned back in his seat.
“These lists are unimportant; nobody reads them,” Feng Zhiyao couldn’t help but say.
Lu Feng was quite clear about these things. In a few years, these cities would rank higher and higher on the list, and then, when the handover was completed, they would drop year by year. It was a devastating blow to their morale.
"Have many people left?" Lu Feng asked.
"Many have already started preparing. They invest abroad, get green cards, set up a company there, and start investing money."
"And you?" Lu Feng asked, staring at him.
"Me?" Mr. Feng smiled and said, "I am already very old, and I don't even know if I will live to see that year. Actually, I want to go back to Northeast China."
Lu Feng nodded. He was quite familiar with the current situation. It was nothing more than saying to the outside world how prosperous Hong Kong was, but internally, the lower classes were in chaos, violence was increasing, a large amount of capital was flowing out, business operations were declining, and in the end, the currency would collapse.
Look, I gave you such a beautiful place, and you turned it into this.
"Now is a time of crisis, but also an opportunity. Many people's minds are no longer on this; it's a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters." Mr. Feng looked at Lu Feng and asked, "What are your thoughts on Chen's Capital?"
"I really don't dare to have any opinions. It's too big. Even if I sold Jiafeng Electronics, it wouldn't be enough to buy half of theirs. Just the circulating shares alone are over 5 billion, and the total share capital is over 10 billion." Lu Feng said with an awkward smile, "I'm too poor."
"President Lu, please don't say that. With your talent, it's just that the per capita GDP in mainland China is low. If the per capita GDP in mainland China were the same as that in Hong Kong, the market consumption potential would be stimulated, and the capital would become more active. You could easily become worth hundreds of billions, which wouldn't be difficult for you," Mr. Feng said with great certainty.
"You flatter me too much. You've made me feel quite flattered." After a moment's thought, Lu Feng said in a deep voice, "If Mr. Feng is willing, Lu Feng is willing to lend a hand and contribute his efforts."
"There's a condition: if Chen's Capital invests in Jiafeng Electronics in the future, whatever amount of money they contribute and whatever number of shares they acquire, Sun Hung Kai will acquire the same number of shares," Mr. Feng said, looking at Lu Feng.
"That's perfect! Now I can go all out and not be short of money," Lu Feng said with a happy expression.
“We can sign an agreement, and we’ll have dinner here tonight. Since you’re the one who brought this up, you need to think carefully about how you’re going to handle this,” Mr. Feng instructed Zhenkun. “Have the kitchen prepare some food.”
“No need for anything too fancy, just some home-style dishes.” Lu Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and pondered for a moment before saying, “Didn’t Chen’s Capital block me before and prevent other companies from financing me? We can use that as a starting point.”
"Then let's do it your way."
“I’ll have to trouble Mr. Feng again. We can’t let Chen’s Capital get more funds to buy back shares. If the stock price goes up, the cost of controlling the company will be much higher, and I don’t have much money.” Lu Feng said with a wry smile, “To be honest, the money we raised has been almost spent.”
“We can continue to raise funds. If one round doesn’t work, we can try another. Jiafeng Electronics has great potential.” Mr. Feng seemed a little tired as he spoke, and said to Feng Zhiyao, “Take President Lu for a tour of the house. I’ll rest for a bit.”
"Please rest for now." Lu Feng stood up and took his leave.
After Lu Feng and Feng Zhiyao left, Zhenkun prepared to help him back to his room to rest, but Mr. Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm not tired. I was just worried he would ask for money because he kept complaining about being poor."
Zhenkun laughed and said, "Using bank leverage to move Chen's Capital's stock shouldn't cost more than tens of millions."
"This guy is a master at getting something for nothing. Tens of millions is no small sum for him. Moreover, he's always been cautious in his actions. If he fails to pull it off, he doesn't want to bear the loss of tens of millions." Mr. Feng leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Zhenkun walked outside and stopped disturbing them.
Mr. Feng opened his eyes and suddenly said, "Go tell Zhiyao not to lend him any money."
"I'll find an opportunity to say it."
Feng Zhiyao accompanied Lu Feng to the garden, a Chinese-style villa. The garden area covers more than two acres, which is definitely a top-tier luxury residence in Hong Kong where land is extremely valuable.
"Brother Feng, wouldn't the price be too high if we bought stocks through the stock market? Generally speaking, the price of shares in these companies is relatively high." Feng Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we buy them from the small and medium-sized shareholders?"
