The atmosphere froze for a moment. Li Zhengde gave an awkward laugh and said, "Anywhere is fine. Companies have their own development plans. This is not something to be forced, and we are doing quite well. It is indeed necessary to help some cities develop. I have always emphasized that in the production process, we should try to go out as much as possible."
“Our main considerations are the port and supporting facilities. Of course, the headquarters will be based in Shenzhen and have a global reach,” Lu Feng said to Li Zhengde. “However, we don’t know anyone there. I wonder if you can offer some assistance in this regard. We hope to open a factory there and expand our production capacity, but we’re worried that we won’t be able to communicate well since we’re unfamiliar with the area.”
"Oh dear, this..." Li Zhengde really didn't want to get involved. Although it's normal for companies to set up factories outside, as long as the headquarters is here, taxes and other aspects will definitely be paid. Of course, he doesn't expect Jiafeng Electronics to pay taxes now. The key thing is that he feels uneasy about sending the money out himself.
"Didn't you say that if you have any difficulties, just say so?" Lu Feng quickly added fuel to the fire when he saw that the man didn't want to help.
"President Lu, this matter can be discussed with you later, everything will be fine," Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Lu Feng knew he wouldn't get anything out of Vice Mayor Liu, so he said, "This factory is indeed in a bit of a rush. There's no need to talk to Vice Mayor Liu; after that, you'd have to report to your superiors. Today is perfect, because the market is booming and we're facing a pretty urgent situation. This year, we plan to build a large factory to meet our production capacity for the next ten years, which is a very good thing for the country."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Li Zhengde pondered for a moment and said, "I can ask about this for you. I think it's a good thing. It will lead to greater expansion, better products, a broader market, and the ability to serve more people."
Lu Feng wasn't sure if he was just joking or genuinely trying to help, so he said, "We only discovered the shortage when we were calculating production capacity after the New Year. Because of this, I didn't even have a proper New Year. This will determine whether Jiafeng Electronics soars to new heights or falls to the ground. If you can't give me an answer here, I'll have to find another way."
Should we look for another way?
It goes without saying who they can turn to. Li Zhengde's expression changed, and he smiled and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder, saying, "Since it's a good thing, I think they should welcome you very much. Besides, you are now a national outstanding private technology innovation enterprise, so you should be taken care of! We can go and communicate and negotiate with them, and then give you feedback on the specific situation."
"Thank you so much. You are truly a good leader who serves the people." Lu Feng shook Li Zhengde's hand with a big smile and said happily, "Let's exchange phone numbers. It will be more convenient for me to contact you if anything comes up."
Li Zhengde didn't want Lu Feng to bother him. He knew this person quite well because he was the one who proposed the supplementary opinions on the national investment promotion policy. In it, he explicitly used the term "Lu Feng-style wealth-creation method." He demanded that people like Lu Feng be nipped in the bud.
Moreover, this model of exchanging land for loans has created significant social inequality and has not effectively promoted enterprise development.
Don't be fooled by what Lu Feng did with the money; the vast majority of his cronies who received the funds spent 99% of them on eating, drinking, and having fun.
Moreover, Li Zhengde knew that this young man was shameless and capable of anything. He had never had any contact with him because he was afraid of repeating Huang Youwei's mistakes. There were many companies in Shenzhen, and they didn't rely on him to stand out, so he naturally wouldn't be favored by the leaders.
"Our doors are always open to law-abiding enterprises. As long as you come, you can see me. Contact information doesn't seem so important, does it?" Li Zhengde raised his glass again and said, "I sincerely hope that more outstanding private enterprises like Jiafeng Electronics will emerge. Cheers!"
Lu Feng picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, which greatly improved the atmosphere. The others whispered among themselves, wondering who Lu Feng was, since he had acted like he was forcing someone to submit.
"I heard he's a son-in-law!" someone whispered.
"Son-in-law? Whose son-in-law?"
"How would I know!"
These words reached Lu Feng's ears, but he didn't take them to heart. The more people believed they had powerful backers, the better.
Lunch was served past 1 p.m. Today, as the only private enterprise representative, Lu Feng was definitely a special case. According to Li Zhengde's original plan, he intended to have a good chat with him, after all, this was a highlight moment in the development of privatization, and also to show those state-owned enterprise leaders that they shouldn't think that just because they don't work hard, no one else will.
The problem is, he's genuinely a little afraid of Lu Feng. If you're even slightly polite, he'll take advantage of you. If there's no pole to lean on, he'll build his own ladder to get over there. This kind of person leaves him feeling helpless.
He seems to lack emotional intelligence. If you casually say something like "Come over sometime," he'll tell you, "Tomorrow, I like to eat this and that, so you can prepare it."
Lu Feng understood that he wasn't in Suzhou, nor was he the darling of his "family." Unlike Huang Youwei, he wouldn't be pampered like that. He could only seize this opportunity to grab whatever he could, otherwise he wouldn't get anything at all.
Around 3 p.m., Lu Feng drove back to the company. On the way back, he had already decided that if Li Zhengde didn't help, he would have to call and urge him again.
The company has returned to normal operations. The period after the Lunar New Year is the off-season for home appliances, so corresponding advertising and marketing should begin to be planned in preparation for the peak sales season.
Du Guoying also recruited more than a dozen people to form the Jiaxun Pager Marketing Department, but most of the people and resources still needed to be sourced from headquarters.
