This county is really very simple. There is only one cross street in the whole county. Apart from seven or eight high-rise buildings, the rest are all single-story houses. The only four-star hotel in the county is the Guoyi Hotel, which is mainly used for government receptions.
Huang Hongsheng and his group were all settled here. Downstairs, Li Dongsheng and a few others sat in a room filled with smoke. They looked at each other and Chen Weirong spoke up: "We don't know anything, yet Lu Feng led us all over the country? And to this small place, what are we doing?"
“The key is that we’re scared now, really scared. What if they come up with some killer move? Who can withstand it?” Li Dongsheng clapped his hands and said bluntly.
That's a very unpleasant thing to say. It's as if all the people present are afraid of Lu Feng, but deep down they also know that if things really get out of hand, they are genuinely afraid!
These were all old comrades-in-arms, and only Ge Quanshun was sitting there, unable to get a word in edgewise. After discussing it among themselves, they concluded that they could afford to wait it out.
Lu Feng can stay here for a month, and they can accompany him for a month. The key is that Lu Feng can't afford to waste time. He still has a lot of things to deal with at Jiafeng Electronics.
"So I think that our staying here now is strategically significant. Even if we only hold off Lu Feng, it's still a success." Huang Hongsheng defined the matter.
Inside the room, Lu Feng smoked a cigarette, looking at the gray sky outside. The weather here was still somewhat gloomy and cold. Years of coal mining and backward infrastructure development had made the whole world gray, as if covered with a layer of coal dust.
The legal representative said to Lu Feng, "Mr. Lu, I saw that they live downstairs."
"This... what should we do?" Zhu Lidong was somewhat troubled and said, "Change the location?"
"It's not about changing locations, it's about ensuring our marketing plan isn't leaked. Once they get their hands on it, they'll roll it out nationwide very quickly. The first one will always be raking in the profits, while the second one won't even get a decent share." Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, scratching his head in frustration, and sighed before asking, "How's it going in the county? Are those people really that ambitious?"
"He was very polite on the phone before he came, but now he's starting to get arrogant," Zhu Lidong said.
For such a small place, to be favored by a large corporation is like meeting a god of wealth in this era. Now that so many companies are flocking here, the county is somewhat bewildered.
Inside the county meeting room, County Head Ye Chengxiong sat there looking at the people present. After a long silence, County Head Ye finally spoke: "Do you think that so many companies have come here without saying a word? Could there be some information that we don't know about?"
They couldn't figure out why this was happening, but it just happened. There had to be a reason, otherwise, why would these bosses go crazy and come all the way from the south to such a godforsaken place as northwestern Shanxi?
"County Chief Ye, could this be related to the new district in the north?" Director Wang from the Finance Department asked suspiciously.
A single sentence seemed to awaken someone from a dream, and the eyes of everyone present lit up. This was indeed possible. Since the early 1980s, there had been rumors of opening up to the outside world in both the south and the north. In the south, policies were being granted to one city after another, but this was very rare in the north. It was said that a circle was to be drawn in this area.
People have been waiting for this circle for almost twenty years.
County Magistrate Ye's face showed a hint of pride. He never expected to encounter such a thing in his lifetime. He cleared his throat, picked up the enamel cup in front of him, blew away the tea leaves, took a sip, and let out a pleasant sound.
"Then we don't need to be so nervous about Jiafeng Electronics. Now they're the ones asking for our help, so let them put on a show," County Chief Ye said happily.
Everyone present looked relaxed, exchanging smiles; good days were finally coming.
Lu Feng stood upstairs watching the people coming and going below, his mind racing. Before he knew it, it was already dark outside. Suddenly, Lu Feng said, "The plan remains the same, just with some minor changes!"
"Change what?" Zhu Lidong asked curiously.
"Originally, the name belonged to them, but the money was with us. Now, the money goes to the county, and the goods go to the county, creating a completely cooperative model!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
“Nobody feels comfortable handing over their money and goods to the county government. If they seize them, we'll really lose everything.” Zhu Lidong felt that this change would prevent the other party from falling into the trap.
"Of course, if it were just our obligation, these people definitely wouldn't have fallen for it. This time, we're not playing with money, we're playing with power!" Lu Feng smiled slightly and said, "With so much money and goods handed over to the county, the county will definitely help sell them. With the leaders endorsing them, ordinary people still look for good deals when buying things. But what kind of people will buy them?"
“Let me tell you, local entrepreneurs will buy it, people who want to curry favor with him will buy it, and they’ll buy it in huge quantities. So, this logic works, doesn’t it?” Lu Feng laughed and said, “Do you think they believe that?”
After pondering the logic behind it, everyone agreed that it made sense and was highly feasible. If these people invested some money and goods here and were held back, Jiafeng Electronics would have won a large part of the battle.
"Let's stick to this plan for now. It's getting late, let's eat. My treat, knife-cut noodles!" Lu Feng stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go!"
When I went downstairs, I ran into Huang Hongsheng and a few others in the elevator. Everyone smiled when they saw each other, but the smiles looked very fake.
"Mr. Lu, where are you going?" Li Dongsheng asked.
"Let's go get some knife-cut noodles, what about you guys?" Lu Feng asked.
"Same!"
"How about we go together? It's my treat. It's fate that we met here." Lu Feng invited him without any politeness.
