“This is an art, so don’t be rude. My idea is to use television sets as a medium. We can cooperate with the county government, you can buy them, and then I can buy them back from you. In this way, the leaders help the entrepreneurs, the entrepreneurs thank them, and they make money.” Lu Feng clapped his hands and said, “It looks good too!”
Mr. Hao sighed and reluctantly agreed to Lu Feng's plan, saying, "What benefits would I get?"
"These are all benefits!" Lu Feng stared at him with wide eyes. Getting involved in this matter was all about benefits, how could he not understand?
"What are the benefits?" President Hao asked, looking completely bewildered.
“At least you’re closer to the leaders now. Think about it, if a development zone is to be established, construction must come first. These projects cost money. Secondly, you can acquire land and sell it to companies that come later. If all else fails, you can introduce people to the leaders. There are opportunities all here.” Lu Feng looked at him. This guy was practically being fed, why was he still so clueless?
Mr. Hao looked troubled and shook his head, saying, "What you're talking about is too slow to generate income. Do you have anything more direct?"
Lu Feng had never seen such a short-sighted boss. Coming to work for him as a day laborer? Paying for a day's work? Lu Feng hated this kind of person the most, because they were so hard to fool!
"How about this, you buy a TV from the boss and bring it back to me, and I'll give you an extra ten yuan, how about that?" Lu Feng had no choice but to offer his terms.
"That's settled then, I'll think about it when I get back!" Mr. Hao said, standing up and picking up his bag.
“Mr. Hao, you need to have a big vision to do business. You need to understand this saying: when you dare to give up a few million in front of you, hundreds of millions will rush towards you tomorrow. There will be earth-shattering changes here.” Lu Feng said to him earnestly.
“I’m just a small-town guy, I only make money in the short term. If you go to the village to collect grain, I’ll deduct every penny from your earnings. We’ll talk about it next time.” Mr. Hao smiled and said, “I’m leaving now. I’ll go back and discuss it with my wife.”
Lu Feng watched him leave. If he wanted to stir things up, these local businesses had to get agitated first, otherwise Huang Hongsheng and his ilk wouldn't take the bait.
A dozen minutes later, Lu Feng found the sheep farm owner's phone number. After the call was connected, Lu Feng exchanged a few pleasantries and introduced himself to the owner.
"Mr. Lu, what brings you here?" the person on the other end of the phone asked curiously. "How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
“I’m quite busy too. I know you have a big business and a lot of influence here, Mr. Niu, so I’d like to ask you to cooperate. Let me tell you, Huai Ren is planned to be included in the Northern Economic Development Zone. You absolutely mustn’t tell anyone about this. I’ve only told you.” Lu Feng said mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Niu on the other end of the phone immediately perked up. He had been wondering for the past two days why all sorts of powerful figures were flocking to this small place; it turned out there was something big going on inside.
Lu Feng repeated the whole story to Boss Niu. After listening, Boss Niu asked, "I just want to ask one question: what benefits will I get?"
"There are opportunities everywhere here, can't you feel it?" Lu Feng was almost going crazy.
"I'm a sheep farmer. Our company has 60,000 sheep and is involved in the wool industry, mutton industry, sheep offal industry, and sheep manure industry. I don't know much about yours. How do you make money from all of these?" Mr. Niu asked, puzzled.
Lu Feng tried to explain the key points to him, such as how many industries a place's development would drive, including technology, electronics, mass consumption, luxury goods, mobile communications, landline phones, finance, and infrastructure. However, this Mr. Niu only knew how to raise sheep and didn't understand any of what Lu Feng was talking about. Moreover, he found the phone call annoying!
“President Lu, should I talk to him?” Zhu Lidong suggested from the side.
Lu Feng knew he couldn't explain it clearly, and to stir their emotions, he couldn't make it too complicated. Suddenly, Lu Feng thought of a way and said, "How about this, come over tonight, and I'll explain it to you in detail. Call more people, all the important people in the area, okay?"
“No problem, I’d also like to meet the boss in Shenzhen.” The person on the other end of the phone sounded quite excited.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng called Boss Hao again, asking him to come to class that evening, but at a different time than Boss Niu.
"Mr. Lu, what kind of class are we taking?" Zhu Lidong asked, puzzled.
"Get them excited and make them believe in my lesson. Have someone talk to the hotel; we need a conference room, microphones, sound equipment, and all that," Lu Feng instructed.
