Lu Feng knew that to have a devastating effect on Chen's Capital's stock, it wouldn't be possible for an individual or a single company to do it alone; it would require inducing a panic retreat.
Some people present were still unhappy, but they didn't dare to curse. If you dare to curse someone, they might beat you up, and the worst part is you can't win the fight.
Calling the police is useless. If you call some thugs to deal with him, you'll probably get half-dead by Lu Feng when they arrive.
The atmosphere at the scene became much more harmonious for a while.
Tang Zhongren didn't want to have a direct confrontation with Lu Feng, so he took a glass of wine and retreated to the back of the crowd, thinking to himself, "Just wait and see how long you can be so arrogant. In the near future, I will take back what I owed you with interest."
Lu Feng, holding a wine glass, went wherever he went, and there was no one within two or three meters. People avoided him as if he were a plague god.
Lu Feng was quite relaxed, eating and drinking, and wandering around the scene by himself. Standing in a corner, he heard a few people chatting next to him.
"Old Zou, there's a shipment coming from the mainland recently, are you interested in taking it?"
"What kind of goods are they? Are the profit margins high?"
"They say it's a television set, but the profit margin is quite high. You can rent a boat from the shipping group to transport it there; it's a sure-fire way to make money."
"Mainland China is exporting television sets?" Mr. Zou frowned and asked, "You're not smuggling anything else, are you?"
"How could that be? It really is a television."
"Which company is it? I don't need to find the seller, right?"
"Which company can tell you that as long as the goods arrive and are loaded onto the ship, that's fine. The information they gave us is that there are a few buyers, but the quantities they want are not large. It would be best to find a few more buyers. You have a brand in the US, right? If all else fails, buy it back, dress it up in a Western style, and then sell it to the mainland."
Everyone burst into laughter; it seemed this was a standard procedure.
Lu Feng stood aside and listened. If he wasn't mistaken, the goods they were discussing should be from Weipuda. Sure enough, these agents were not middlemen between buyers and sellers, but rather intermediaries in Hong Kong, with another layer in between.
The more times you trade, the less secure your repayment becomes.
Lu Feng was just about to go over and chat for a bit, to ask about the ins and outs, when a middle-aged man approached him, holding a wine glass, and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu. I heard you're quite the big shot on the mainland."
"It's nothing special, just someone giving me face in business." Lu Feng looked at him and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Let me introduce myself. I am the general manager of Blue Fox Financial. I don't know if you are the richest person in mainland China, but I do know one thing: you are indeed good at creating public opinion." He looked at Lu Feng with admiration in his eyes, as if to say, "I need shameless people like you."
“We have a financial advisor position in our company. I wonder if Mr. Lu would be interested? You don’t need to go to work; you can just be listed as an advisor. I can offer you a sky-high salary of one million a month.”
Seeing Lu Feng's confident demeanor, the other party realized that even if Lu Feng were truly the richest man in the mainland, he wouldn't be able to refuse such a condition; it was practically free money.
Lu Feng smiled at him and refused. His little tricks were easily seen through; money in this world isn't so easy to earn.
"Do you know these people over there?" Lu Feng asked, pointing to a group of people not far away.
"I don't know you. This is my business card. You can call me anytime, Mr. Lu. I just think you're a very interesting person. I have no other intentions. The terms remain the same." After saying that, the other person raised his wine glass, turned around, and left.
Lu Feng walked forward and stood beside the group, saying, "Excuse me, could you please stop here? You were just saying that a batch of television sets is coming out of mainland China..."
Before Lu Feng could finish speaking, the group walked away, looking at him with disgust.
That night, many people came to see Lu Feng. They were mostly from financial companies, and some of them were small companies. Their idea was simply to take advantage of Lu Feng's recent popularity to promote their own companies and make a quick buck, which is somewhat similar to the strategy of managing internet celebrities in later generations.
Lu Feng left before 10 o'clock. He had finished what he needed to do and was going to another banquet the next day.
In a society with advanced media, using outrageous personal remarks or attention-grabbing methods to gain public support is a very cheap and effective way to sell products.
This product could be an object or a person.
The quickest way to market yourself is to first grab attention with sensational and eye-catching words, and then establish yourself as a topic of discussion.
Those companies approached Lu Feng simply to leverage his popularity to increase their own exposure and make a quick buck. As for whether they would actually receive the million-dollar salary, that was another matter entirely.
If you can maintain your personal buzz, you become a walking billboard, and you can monetize it by starting a company, becoming a spokesperson, or promoting products.
Before 10 o'clock, Lu Feng had returned to the hotel. After thinking it over, he called Zhang Fengxia and told her about what happened that night, asking her to be careful.
"How's it going on your end? I heard from a friend in Hong Kong that you're now on the cover of the Dragon Tiger Daily, and the picture is quite... indescribable!" Zhang Fengxia's voice was full of surprise on the other end of the phone. She said, "She said she'd mail me a copy and told me that this stuff is much more exciting than reading a novel."
Lu Feng was speechless and said, "How come you still have friends from Hong Kong?"
"My classmate!"
"Did your classmate tell you that this Dragon Tiger Newspaper is not suitable for children?" Lu Feng asked.
