Lu Feng knew that some things shouldn't be taken too seriously. Pretending to be confused was a good idea in this situation. Getting several contracts for around ten million was incredibly cheap.
After booking his return flight, Lu Feng called Mr. Feng in the evening.
Zhenkun answered the phone. After exchanging a few polite words, he walked towards the study and whispered as he entered, "Lu Feng said he wants to go to Hong Kong first to have dinner with you."
"Didn't you say what it was about?" Mr. Feng asked.
"I just wanted to speak with you."
Mr. Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please transfer the call in."
The call was transferred to the study. Mr. Feng picked up the black landline on the table and said, "Congratulations, you've solved another problem that's been on your mind."
"It's mainly thanks to you that we escaped unscathed," Lu Feng said politely. "I'll be going back to Hong Kong with Zhiyao tomorrow. With the company becoming a conglomerate, there are still some things I need to discuss with you, especially the development direction for next year."
"I'm just a small shareholder. Actually, Mr. Lu didn't need to tell me all this. Since I chose to invest in you, it's because I trust you. My investment philosophy is: you take the money, and if you lose it all, I won't say a word. If you make a profit, it's all your credit," Mr. Feng said with a smile.
“I am truly fortunate to have met an investor like you. However, I have some big plans for next year. I am planning to borrow some money from the bank and mainly invest in research and development,” Lu Feng said into the phone.
"Borrow money?" Mr. Feng was taken aback. As far as he knew, Jiafeng Electronics was profitable this year, and quite profitable at that. He asked, "How big of an investment is it? Do you still need to borrow money from the bank? Don't you have 400 million in your account?"
"It's not enough. Next year's budget is quite large. The company obtained the loan by pledging its shares, which is also for development. As you know, the mainland market will be very tight next year."
“I see. If the company is short of money, I can help you with a second round of financing. The investment contract we signed earlier also states that we have priority in financing. Only after we give up our right to other financing at the same price can we seek external financing,” Mr. Feng said, leaning back in his chair.
"It's not financing, it's debt. We'll talk about it when we meet."
After exchanging a few polite words, Lu Feng hung up the phone, sat in the room, and sighed. As international connections opened up, Lu Feng could feel that he increasingly wanted to control Jiafeng Electronics.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Jiafeng Electronics has developed too fast and has huge growth potential in the future. Although its valuation is a bit high now, its future value is even greater. If it can gain a relatively stable market share in next year's home appliance market battle, then Jiafeng Electronics will have truly established itself firmly.
The following day, the group officially boarded their return flight.
After the company stamp was affixed to several contracts, they were sent to the headquarters of Jiafeng Electronics Group. Wei Yandan paid special attention to these contracts and stamped them immediately to ensure that they were effective.
Eight hours later, the plane landed. After exchanging pleasantries at the airport, Su Yourong returned to the company, Feng Zhiyao also went home, Lu Feng booked a hotel, and Yun Huaiyu's gaze lingered on Lu Feng, clearly not wanting to go back.
"You should go back with Zhiyao. I want to rest by myself for a while," Lu Feng said, seeing through her thoughts.
Although Yun Huaiyu was not very happy, he had no choice but to nod.
Back at the hotel, Lu Feng rested briefly. It was already November, and the end of the year was fast approaching. There was still a lot of work waiting for him at the company.
The dinner with Mr. Feng was moved to the evening. At eight o'clock in the evening, the Feng family home was brightly lit. A Mercedes-Benz was parked at the door. Lu Feng opened the car door and stepped out. He looked a little tired. It was clear that the continuous work over the past few days had made him quite exhausted.
"Mr. Lu, you've worked hard." Zhenkun took a few steps forward, shook Lu Feng's hands politely, and said, "It's a bit chilly tonight, so it's not convenient for Mr. Feng to greet you at the door. Please forgive us."
"No need, no need. I'm already flattered that you're standing here waiting for me." Lu Feng held his hand politely and said, "The weather is indeed getting cold. It's only in Hong Kong; it's below zero in the north of the mainland."
“President Lu, please take care to keep warm when you get back. You just got off the plane today, and the journey was very bumpy. I originally wanted to book for tomorrow, but since you're in a hurry, we had to book for tonight.” Zhenkun extended a hand in a gesture of invitation, saying, “Please come in!”
After entering the main gate and passing through two archways, they entered a banquet hall where Mr. Feng, Feng Zhiyao, Yun Huaiyu, and others were already seated. Upon seeing Lu Feng enter, Mr. Feng smiled and waved, saying, "Please sit down. Judging from your condition, you must be exhausted."
"It's alright, I went back and slept for a while," Lu Feng said, sitting down next to Mr. Feng.
After everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Yun Huaiyu sat next to Zhenkun, looking Lu Feng up and down, and said, "Uncle, President Lu has indeed been quite tired these past two days. When we got off the plane, I was thinking of finding him a massage therapist to help him relax."
"You're not even married yet, and you're already showing concern for people!" Mr. Feng joked.
Zhenkun, who was standing to the side, laughed at the opportune moment. Lu Feng felt that something was wrong with the situation. It seemed like they were trying to force things.
"No, no, no, I must thank Mr. Feng for his kindness first. Huaiyu and I can only be considered friends now. She is a good girl, but you know, I'm too busy. With such a large investment from you, I really can't afford to be distracted. I want to focus all my energy on making the company successful." Lu Feng declined Mr. Feng's offer.
"Look, look, you're implying that I didn't invest enough, aren't you?" Mr. Feng said jokingly.
