Some people in the marketing department really wanted Zhu Lidong to take this position, but Zhu Lidong understood that this position could go to anyone but him.
No large company has the same person in charge of marketing and CEO. If Zhu Lidong had the ability to do both, then Lu Feng wouldn't be able to do anything. If he were unhappy tomorrow, Jiafeng Electronics would collapse instantly.
The meeting discussed many recent events, including the launch of new products and the ongoing process of group formation. Among these, the location of the headquarters remained a point of contention.
"Mr. Lu, it's like this. We currently have two places to consider: Shenzhen and Zhuhai. Zhuhai is really bustling right now, with very strong policy support. Most importantly, the Giant Building is under construction in full swing." Zhu Lidong organized his thoughts and said, "This building has just started construction, but it has already sold very well. The initial investment is over 300 million yuan. I think being able to move into this building will be of great help in terms of publicity."
Those present nodded in agreement. They were already familiar with Zhuhai's policies on attracting and supporting businesses, which were more effective than those in Shenzhen. Moreover, Shenzhen already had too many businesses and talents, and was nearing saturation.
Everyone's attention is on Zhuhai, and even on the Giant Building. It's been incredibly popular since construction started this year. This building is poised to become a landmark of its time, and the publicity has been overwhelming.
After listening to them talk for a while, Lu Feng said, "I hope you remember one thing: if you're not an insider, by the time you realize there's money to be made here, it's too late, very late."
"Mr. Lu, he's selling pre-sale apartments now. How many floors are left? I asked someone to inquire," a vice president said.
"Let's go to Shenzhen!" Lu Feng closed the folder in front of him and continued without consulting anyone else. "First, we'll rent an office building. Before the end of the year, we'll reach an agreement with the Shenzhen municipal government to get a piece of land. We'll build the building ourselves, with a total investment of around 500 to 600 million yuan. We'll complete it within five years. In the early stages, we'll use the land as collateral to obtain cash flow. After it's built, we'll mortgage the entire building. That's settled."
Those present exchanged glances and dared not speak, clearly indicating that Lu Feng had already planned everything out.
"Anything else?" Lu Feng asked.
"We've heard from Guangfa Trading that the products we shipped overseas have been sold and the money has been transferred. However, Li Guangfa has frozen our letters of credit and can't come up with the money. They haven't been negotiating with us. They say they lost money on this deal and the previous profit-sharing ratio doesn't count."
Lu Feng wasn't surprised at all by the outcome of this shipment. He knew exactly what Li Guangfa was thinking. He sat there and sneered, "Trying to play these tricks on me? Does he want to have a chat with me?"
“Yes, we sent the department head over, but we couldn’t even see him. He used to be very easy to communicate with, but his attitude changed immediately after the goods were sold!” The vice president looked worried.
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng looked at Zhu Lidong with a half-smile and said, "Doesn't this resemble the batch of televisions you lent out on credit before?"
"Huh?" Zhu Lidong didn't expect Lu Feng to bring up that matter. He looked a little embarrassed and said, "You were the one who mainly took the lead in this matter. You can't push the responsibility onto me."
“I know it’s my responsibility. Actually, it’s a good thing. The main purpose is to find out if our products have a market in the international market. Um… Ms. Zhang…” Lu Feng subconsciously glanced to his left and found that Zhang Fengxia was no longer there.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on their movements? How's that going?" Lu Feng asked.
"You'll have to ask Mr. Zhang's secretary about that!"
"Alright then, that's all for now. I just got back and was dragged to the municipal government for a lot of questioning. I'll go back and rest for a bit. I'll be staying at the factory for the time being." Lu Feng tidied up his folders, stood up, and walked out.
After Lu Feng left, the atmosphere was noticeably different. A vice president in his forties whispered, "President Zhu, I don't think Wei Yandan is qualified enough. The position of CEO can't be held by a woman forever, can it?"
"What do you mean by seniority?" Zhu Lidong's face darkened as he looked at him and said, "Is it about who's older? If that's the case, then Chairman Lu should also give you his position?"
The other person shrank back in fright and dared not say another word.
"President Lu has his reasons. The company's hiring decisions are based on factors such as ability and future development. Stop talking nonsense all day long. What do you know?" Zhu Lidong said to everyone, "Put your minds on your work and stop gossiping!"
Lu Feng returned to his office, reviewed the documents on his desk, ate a quick lunch in the office, and then went to his bedroom to lie down on the bed, intending to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep.
After Jiafeng Electronics released some information, the city's business community and media were in an uproar. For a time, the business circle was talking about Lu Feng's divorce and Zhang Fengxia's resignation.
Local business owners, those with unmarried daughters, were thinking about how to introduce them to each other, while those without daughters were busy looking for Zhang Fengxia's contact information. For a time, everyone was extremely busy.
In the afternoon, invitations to various dinner parties and gatherings from the local business community poured in like snowflakes. As long as Lu Feng showed up at any of these parties, he knew without asking that local socialites would flock to him.
Now, not only in the province, but also nationwide, Lu Feng is the youngest and best-looking self-made millionaire.
Despite the outside disturbances, Lu Feng had no time to pay attention. He held three meetings in the afternoon to investigate some of the company's internal management. Meanwhile, Wei Yandan was rushing back.
