At 8:30 a.m., Lu Feng was eating breakfast when he looked at Zhu Lidong and asked, "It's almost April, and the off-season after the New Year is almost over. Why hasn't Wepuda's sales picked up yet?"
Zhu Lidong suddenly felt that the breakfast in his mouth didn't taste so good anymore. He put down his chopsticks and said, "The market is very competitive. Since the beginning of this year, the promotional activities of major manufacturers have not ended. We are also lowering prices and having promotions. In April, we will launch a TV and VCD combo set!"
“Televisions are still our main business, our core business. Entrusting this to you is a sign of our trust in you, and I believe in your abilities.” Lu Feng looked up at the person opposite him and said, “Could you get me some xiaolongbao?”
Du Guoying stood up and placed the steamed buns in front of Lu Feng.
"Yes, but there are many manufacturers targeting us, and they are very competitive on pricing. Don't worry, we will come up with a plan in the next few days, put it on the market for testing, and there will be a change in April," Zhu Lidong assured.
Lu Feng didn't press further, and instead asked Wei Yandan, "How's that...that person in charge at the media company?"
“It’s already been sentenced, over four years. Because it involved the transfer of benefits under a contract, not much money has been recovered,” Wei Yandan replied.
"This matter needs to be publicized prominently within the company. The audit team shouldn't be idle either; they should visit the subsidiary companies every now and then. So, who is the woman who runs the media company now? What's her name again?" Lu Feng asked while eating.
"Mei Jiaojiao!"
"What do you think of this person?" Lu Feng asked without looking up.
“You’re doing a good job, but you haven’t been officially promoted yet; you’re still the vice president,” Wei Yandan said.
"Promote those who perform well, and use your own people as much as possible. Parachuted-in management will discourage those below," Lu Feng instructed.
"good!"
Before nine o'clock, a Porsche 911 pulled up in front of Jiafeng Electronics' headquarters. Elmi got out of the car in her high heels. Shenzhen at the end of March was already quite hot, and a breeze carrying a bit of heat hit her face. Elmi took out her small handbag from the car and swayed her hips as she went upstairs.
Just after finishing breakfast, Lu Feng returned to his office and before he could even sit down, a clerk knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Lu, Nokia's Elmi is looking for you. He's already in the meeting room."
Lu Feng knew that many people had come to see him today, but he didn't expect that the first one to come to him would be Elmi.
"I'm going to the reception room!" Lu Feng walked towards the door.
Inside the reception room, Elmi mentally prepared her response. Regarding the acquisition of Jiafeng Electronics that day, she could explain it as wanting to help Lu Feng through his difficulties, but because she was worried about him, her tone wasn't very friendly.
Lu Feng pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Elmi sitting there with a cup of coffee in front of her. She was still as beautiful and charming as ever. When she saw Lu Feng, she smiled and said, "Hello, it feels like it's been a long time!"
“That’s right. Although I don’t like attending meaningless dinners and parties, I used to get invited a lot. But for some reason, no one has invited me for the past week,” Lu Feng said, sitting down. “Isn’t that strange?”
Elmi smiled and said, "Actually, this is good too, it allows me to relax a bit."
"Then I have to thank you. I've had a pretty peaceful week. What? You came with a letter of intent to acquire me?" Lu Feng asked, crossing his legs.
“Mr. Lu, you’re joking. When I called you that day, I was worried about you. There were rumors circulating that the investors were going to withdraw. I talked to my dad about it, and we said that if they really wanted to withdraw, we would step in and cover for you. Of course, because I was anxious, my tone might not have been very nice.” Elmi looked at Lu Feng and said, “I believe you won’t mind.”
"No, no, no! I mind it!" Lu Feng leaned back on the sofa and said, "That's not called a bad tone, that's called arrogance. How much is Nokia worth now? Jiafeng Electronics is valued at tens of billions. Can you handle that?"
Generally speaking, if a beautiful woman like herself were to back down, the other party would give her face and let the matter slide. However, Lu Feng actually brought it up directly, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.
"I was just trying to be helpful. Besides, helping you is helping myself, right?" Elmi continued to try and build rapport. "Look at you, what's with that expression? It's only been a few days, and you're already acting like this, so cold!"
"You have no idea what I've been through these past few days. If I didn't like you, I would never talk to you like this," Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
"You're just being stubborn with me. I've already told you I'm doing this for your own good, so why are you like this? Are you even being reasonable?" Elmi became assertive, saying to Lu Feng, "You just bully me. I've done so much for your own good, and this is what I get in return?"
She choked up as she spoke, her eyes reddening.
Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and sat there watching her cry, but she just couldn't shed a tear.
Around ten o'clock, a clerk knocked on the door and said to Lu Feng, "Mr. Lu, the CEO of Jin'ao Technology wants to see you."
"Jin'ao Technology?" Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you want with me?"
"This company supplies pager displays; it's the one that asked for payment a while ago," the clerk reminded her.
"Oh!" Lu Feng said meaningfully, "Let him in!"
A moment later, a man in his forties knocked on the door and came in. When he saw Lu Feng, he smiled broadly, bowed slightly, and exuded humility. His face was full of the air of a nice guy.
"Mr. Lu, hello!" Mr. Cao shook hands with Lu Feng and said, "I am a supplier of pager display screens for Jiaxun. I have heard of your name before, and I have been dealing with a vice president of the marketing department."
