"What? Mr. Huang is starting to do this kind of thing? Does that mean if Mr. Ge says something to me, he should be dragged out and shot?" Lu Feng teased Huang Hongsheng.
"How could that be? I'm just worried that if President Ge gets too close to you, he might accidentally become your brother, which wouldn't be appropriate," Huang Hongsheng said with a grin.
"President Ge should be happy."
Ge Quanshun was in his fifties, and facing these two young people who were much younger than him, he was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know what they were talking about, and could only smile awkwardly.
The county is only so big, and the population of the county seat is only a little over 100,000. If you fart in the east, you'll hear it in the west soon enough. With such a big commotion in the county today, how could no one know about it?
Some businesses in the county had already heard the news, especially the arrival of Jiafeng Electronics, which was widely rumored in private. It seemed as if a dramatic change was about to happen in this small town within a few days.
There are only a few enterprises in the county. One is a fertilizer plant, which has been transformed from a state-owned enterprise into a mixed-ownership enterprise. The other is a large sheep farm. There are no high-end industrial enterprises in the entire county. These two enterprises are the two leading enterprises, and most of the county's economy is developed and supported by these two enterprises.
Inside the room, Zhu Lidong was completely bewildered. Smoking a cigarette, he looked at Lu Feng and said, "How come another economic zone has appeared? What do we do now?"
"No rush, things have already started to develop on their own, we don't even need to create momentum ourselves." Lu Feng leaned back in his chair and said, "We need to pave the way for them within a week!"
"Then how do we lay it?" Zhu Lidong really wasn't very good at this.
Just as Lu Feng was about to speak, the waiter knocked on the door and asked Lu Feng, "Mr. Lu, the general manager of Renhe Fertilizer Plant would like to see you, is that alright?"
"A fertilizer plant?" Lu Feng was confused for a moment about why the fertilizer plant wanted to see him.
"This is our big boss, he's incredibly wealthy." The waiter sensed his doubt, as if he looked down on the owner of this small town, and there was a hint of comparison in his words.
"Oh, okay, let's meet up!" Lu Feng stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Zhu Lidong and the others, "The paving bricks have come by themselves."
Lu Feng went out and saw a man in his forties or fifties in the reception room. He was wearing a suit, was quite overweight, and had a briefcase tucked under his arm. He had the same air about him as Lu Feng had a few years ago.
"Hello, I'm Lu Feng from Jiafeng Electronics!" Lu Feng stepped forward and politely extended his hand.
"Hello, I'm the general manager of the fertilizer plant. Just call me General Manager Hao. Please have a seat, don't be shy!" General Manager Hao said, sitting down and crossing his legs. He took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, offered one to Lu Feng, coughed, spat out a mouthful of phlegm into the small trash can beside him, lit the cigarette, and said to Lu Feng, "I've heard of your company, but this is the first time I've heard you're so young. I don't like beating around the bush, so let me get straight to the point: what brings you here?"
His actions just now, especially that spit, startled Lu Feng, who said, "Since you're so straightforward, I'll be straightforward too. Do you know about the Northern Economic Development Zone?"
"The Northern Economic Development Zone?" Mr. Hao's face was full of interest.
“Yes, this is a big deal. You absolutely mustn’t tell anyone else, okay? Besides, I’m here to invest, so you’d better get on good terms with the county leaders,” Lu Feng said, sounding all helpful.
"I'm good buddies with County Chief Ye. I've helped create one-tenth of the jobs in this county. If the fertilizer plant shuts down, the farmers in the village will all be doomed after spring arrives! Let me tell you this, when it comes to meals, you can come out anytime you call." Boss Hao's tone was full of boasting.
“That was before. Think about it, once it becomes the Shenzhen of the North, will anyone even bother with you? Why would I come all this way just to curry favor?” Lu Feng lowered his voice and said, “Think about it, am I right?”
For a moment, Mr. Hong didn't know whether Lu Feng was telling the truth or not, but with so many big bosses gathered in this small place, he really couldn't think of another reason.
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by telling me such big news?" Mr. Hao asked, puzzled.
“You saw it too, I’m not the only one here. The others are competing with me. I need to win over a few locals, understand?” Lu Feng winked at him.
"Oh, I see." President Hao accepted this reason.
The two sat down and chatted for a while. Mr. Hao is an absolute figure in the local business world. Although his net worth is only around six or seven million, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is already the ceiling of wealth in their imagination.
Lu Feng's explanation was simple: this area has been designated as the next Shenzhen, and a large number of companies will flock here in the near future. At that time, brokers will be a business, so Lu Feng came here to get to know the leaders.
If you get along well with your boss, why would you lack opportunities?
What is an opportunity? It's something that wasn't originally yours, but suddenly one day it's given to you. Your boss has a lot of opportunities in his hands. If he says you can do it, you can, even if you can't!
"So, Mr. Lu means you want to find a local partner?" Mr. Hao finally realized something.
"President Hao is truly exceptionally intelligent. You already have a close relationship with County Chief Ye, and now you need to further deepen it," Lu Feng advised.
"Simple. Here's what we'll do: give me 100,000 yuan, and I'll send it over to you," Mr. Hao said directly.
"No, no, no, this method is very crude and rude! It's insulting!" Lu Feng quickly stopped him from thinking about it.
"Mr. Lu, you've got a lot to say. Giving a gift is just a bottle of Moutai with a wad of cash underneath. So tell me, what should we do?" Mr. Hao was getting impatient; this was too much of a dragging on!
