Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Su Yourong sighed and said, "You're not planning to pay, so you get what you pay for. Where can you find so many good ones? Consulting firms are expensive, and they don't play much of a role in this kind of small-scale international merger and acquisition. The law firms and accounting firms we found are very professional companies, so don't worry."
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Lu Feng was now really hard to believe her words. This woman was capable of causing trouble the moment he relaxed his guard.
"You can go ask them. They're so rude. You don't want to spend any money, yet you want the best. How can you be like this?" Su Yourong was also a little annoyed. She muttered, "It's like paying for a beautiful woman. Isn't that unreasonable?"
Lu Feng was rendered speechless by her words.
"Alright, alright, this is a crucial moment, and you've let me down!" Lu Feng said irritably.
"You got a free bicycle and you still complain about the chain falling off, and you even yelled at me!" Su Yourong said aggrievedly, "How can you be like this? You're never satisfied with taking advantage of others. I don't care anymore, you deal with it yourself. If you're angry, I'm hanging up!"
The call was disconnected, and she still felt wronged, as if Lu Feng had wronged her. She felt uncomfortable about it. After thinking for a moment, Lu Feng realized, "Damn it, she's taking advantage of United Capital. What's she complaining about?"
The only person who could push Lu Feng to this point is probably Su Yourong. Lu Feng wanted to call her and reason with her, but now was not the time to argue about right and wrong.
Lu Feng stood up and first went to confirm with the two important intermediaries, the accounting firm and the law firm, which were indeed well-known companies in Hong Kong.
Lu Feng was finally relieved.
After a quick dinner, Lu Feng returned to his room and decided to contact Hirata Ichiro again. After exchanging a few polite words on the phone, the other party simply said that this was a temporary decision made by the company's senior management, and that he would continue to push the matter forward.
He can take his time, but Lu Feng can't wait.
Lu Feng originally wanted to ask directly what internal problems had occurred, but he knew that if he interfered so directly in the company's internal affairs, they wouldn't tell him. In the end, he could only exchange a few polite words and hang up the phone.
Around 10 p.m., Lu Feng lay in bed unable to sleep. Even he was at a loss in the current situation, but going back was absolutely out of the question.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and difficult at the end, but the most difficult is the beginning.
The problem facing Lu Feng now is that he doesn't know who is behind this, and without finding the root cause of the problem, he can't solve it.
Lu Feng finally drifted off to sleep around midnight. He woke up around 8 a.m. the next morning and the first thing he did was call Yui Kurai, as she was the only person he could talk to now.
Around noon, in the hotel restaurant, Lu Feng sat opposite Yui Kurai. She seemed to be in much better spirits and asked Lu Feng, "Lu Feng-kun, how's everything going? Is it going smoothly?"
"It's not going well, it's been paused." Lu Feng sighed, sounding somewhat helpless.
Yui Kurai's face froze, and she hurriedly asked, "Can't you agree on a price? Or is there another reason?"
"It's probably something going on within the upper echelons. I'd like to get in touch with Hirata Ichiro's confidants. Do you know who's close to him?" Lu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Ideally, someone who has a comprehensive understanding of his affairs."
"I'm not quite sure either. Strictly speaking, I'm in his department. I'll go to headquarters this afternoon and ask." Yui Kurai seemed even more anxious than Lu Feng.
"Okay, call me if you have any news. It's best not to meet in a work-related manner," Lu Feng instructed.
After the meal, Yui Kurai left in a hurry. She was even more anxious about this matter than Lu Feng was.
The acquisition has been halted, which is good news for Watanabe Shi. He told Yoshida Toichi the news, and Yoshida was very excited when he heard it.
Yoshida Toichi collected some publicly available information about Jiafeng Electronics. He learned that Lu Feng really wanted to develop communications this year, and now that the acquisition had failed, he was probably in a state of confusion.
If you want to claim credit on Wall Street, you have to do things quietly, otherwise no one will know what you've done.
Yoshida Toichi found out which hotel Lu Feng was staying at and made a phone call.
The phone rang in Lu Feng's room. He answered, "Who is this?"
"Mr. Lu, there's a... um... phone call to you. The person on the other end says they are..." The receptionist's Chinese was very broken.
"Wait a mininute!"
Lu Feng stood up and called the young translator from across the hall to answer the phone.
“Someone called you and asked if I could get through. They said the call was very important and it was about acquiring Ruixin Labs,” the translator said to Lu Feng.
"Bring them in!"
Yoshida Toichi answered the phone and asked directly, "Lu Feng from Jiafeng Electronics, right?"
“It’s me, who are you?” Lu Feng asked.
"You'll find out when you have the chance. Was the acquisition not going smoothly? Do you know what you did wrong?" The voice on the other end of the phone was mocking, as if he were the mastermind behind everything.
"I'm really not sure. If you'd like to offer some guidance, I'm all ears." Lu Feng didn't know where the other party came from, so he could only be polite for the time being.
“What were you doing in Dubai a few months ago? Whose name were you using to swindle and cheat people? Have you forgotten so quickly? Let me tell you, just because Mr. Buffett is unwilling to bother with a nobody like you doesn’t mean no one is. I’ll show you a way now: go to the Wall Street Journal, buy a page, and formally apologize to him!” Yoshida Toichi said in a gloomy voice.
