After a few more years of return, there may be new opportunities in the mainland market. Of course, the Hong Kong business community is now divided into two factions: one believes that the mainland has no investment value, while the other believes that the mainland market has unlimited potential.
Before seven o'clock, there were already twenty or thirty people in the banquet hall, most of whom were familiar faces. Li Guangfa was radiant, with his hair slicked back, and his eyes were almost closed from smiling.
He kept shaking hands politely with people, clearly the star of the banquet.
Lu Feng handed over the invitation at the door, stepped into the banquet hall, and smiled when he saw Huang Hongsheng, saying, "Mr. Huang, it's been a long time! You seem to be in good spirits lately!"
"You're doing alright, not bad either!" He patted Lu Feng on the shoulder and said, "You're in pretty good shape."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Feng laughed and said to him, "I'm not seventy or eighty years old, and I haven't suffered any setbacks or blows, so I'll definitely be fine."
“If you haven’t suffered any setbacks, then we’re even less of a problem,” Li Dongsheng said as he walked over.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Lu Feng deliberately said, "As long as we withstand the pressure, they will be helpless. They're all here to make money, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Hongsheng couldn't stop smiling as he said, "I think he came here today to reconcile with you. He's just scared and chickened out."
“That’s right, I think so too. That slap you gave him was really loud, he was scared.” Li Dongsheng’s words were full of sarcasm.
Lu Feng seemed not to understand, and said with extra seriousness, "It really is the way of dealing with people. Some people can't understand what you're saying, so you have to greet them in a way they can understand!"
Two more executives in their forties walked over, laughed when they heard this, gave Lu Feng a thumbs up, and praised him, "Brilliant, Mr. Lu is truly brilliant!"
The group burst into laughter, and Lu Feng joined in, creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere that even made Li Guangfa turn around to look.
"Alright, everyone, please take your seats. It's getting late," Li Guangfa said to the crowd.
There were four tables in total, two on the left and two on the right. The banquet hall was quite spacious, but it felt a bit empty. Lu Feng sat down, and next to him sat Huang Hongsheng, Li Dongsheng, General Manager Chen, and a group of other executives from the home appliance industry.
They chatted about recent industry trends, speaking very politely, especially towards Lu Feng. They were incredibly tolerant, as if afraid he might slap them in a bad mood, or as if they were looking at a funny monkey and didn't want to argue with him, so they flattered him in everything they said.
As the food was served, Li Guangfa stood up and addressed the crowd: "Next year will be a crucial year for home appliance exports. Many company executives couldn't come today because they live too far away, but they all called me. Trade agents and manufacturing companies are not enemies; they complement each other."
"The purpose of today's gathering is to bring everyone together for a meal and to make a good start for our cooperation next year. So far, only Jiafeng Electronics has not reached an agreement with us. I don't know what Mr. Lu means by this?"
Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, his face full of shock, staring wide-eyed at Li Guangfa as if incredulous. The others present exchanged glances, their expressions laced with sarcasm.
Li Guangfa stepped forward and looked at Lu Feng, asking, "No need to be so surprised. That's right, only Jiafeng Electronics is left. Do you want to talk?"
"I......."
"You're not qualified to talk!" Li Guangfa's expression changed, and he pointed at Lu Feng and shouted, "You'll only be qualified to talk to me if that slap is returned tenfold."
“Everyone here is my collaborator. Today was supposed to be a dinner for collaborators. Since President Lu is not a collaborator, there is no need for him to sit with them.” Li Guangfa gave a sinister smile and said to everyone, “Everyone, please go to another table. Let’s open another table, and President Lu can eat alone at this one.”
As everyone prepared to stand up, Lu Feng looked at Huang Hongsheng and said, "President Huang, that 'Shared Advance and Retreat Alliance' was yours, and I signed it. How come you've turned around and sold me out?"
Everyone smiled, as if to say, "You're the only fool."
"That's just a proposal, Mr. Lu. Better to die for your friend than for me. Take your time eating." Mr. Huang stood up and walked across to the other side.
The waiter brought over another table and began serving the food.
Of the five tables, only Lu Feng was sitting at this one. Everyone in the room turned to look at him, their eyes full of mockery!
