The hotel cleared out a small auditorium, and they had dinner early in the evening. While Huang Hongsheng and his group were still trying to find out if the news about the economic development zone was true or false, Lu Feng had already changed his clothes and appeared in the auditorium.
Mr. Niu was the first to arrive. He was a short, stout man who was about 1.7 meters tall. The small business owners around him were very interested in the boss from the south. They made a few phone calls, and since they had nothing better to do, more than fifty people came.
"You must be President Lu? Hello, hello!" President Niu extended his hand to shake hands with Lu Feng. He had a strong, pungent smell of mutton on him.
Lu Feng coughed and said, "You are really down-to-earth; it's this kind of everyday life that's so refreshing."
“It’s normal for us sheep farmers to have a bit of a smell. All of us bosses, big and small, are here today. Didn’t you say you were going to give a lecture? Let’s get started!” Boss Niu said straightforwardly.
Lu Feng strode onto the stage. The audience below was a little noisy, discussing what they had for dinner and whose family had some gossip. Holding a wired microphone, Lu Feng began, "Please be quiet, everyone. Let me introduce myself. I am the founder of Jiaming Foods, chairman of Jiafeng Electronics Group, chairman of Hurricane Capital, and also a recipient of the Global Strategic Investment Young Leader Award. Why do I have this title? Because I represent wealth! Anyone who attends my lecture will become rich!"
These words instantly silenced the entire room. What in this world could be more attractive than making money?
"I can assure you all that after listening to what I have to say today, you will unlock the floodgates of wisdom and embark on a path to wealth. I know you are all wealthy people, influential figures in this area, but you are nothing in front of me. Don't even mention you, even Boss Niu is no match for me!" Lu Feng asked the crowd, "How much money do you think I have?"
"One million!" an older woman shouted.
"One million? You underestimate me too much. Keep guessing, guess big, use your imagination. My wealth can challenge the imagination of everyone here, that's how awesome I am!" Lu Feng said arrogantly.
The people below were quite indignant. They weren't poor either; none of them had a net worth of less than 200,000. Who were they trying to bully because they were poor?
In this day and age, having assets of 200,000 yuan already puts you in the upper-middle class. Don't even mention 1994, do you have 200,000 yuan now?
"Ten million!"
"Fifty million!"
The numbers kept going up, but Lu Feng kept shaking his head. He wanted to slowly shock these people and numb their minds.
"No one expected that I'm about to make an announcement. Before I do, I have a small request: if you all agree with what I'm saying during tonight's lecture, please give me a round of applause, okay?"
"Sure, how much?"
"Over a hundred million, right?"
The crowd chattered incessantly, creating a rather chaotic atmosphere.
"Let me tell you all, without hundreds of billions, I'm not qualified to play in the international arena. That's right, hundreds of billions. I do business with those rich people internationally. So how did I earn this money? To make big money, you must have a grand vision, understand?" Lu Feng stood on the stage, smiling as he looked at the crowd and said, "If a person is stingy, that person will never get rich in their life. Those who agree, applaud!"
Sparse applause rang out from the audience.
"To make money, you first have to spend it, and you have to spend it wisely. There's a saying: 'Don't flaunt your wealth to the poor, and don't show weakness to the rich.' What does that mean?" Lu Feng said loudly, "If you have money, pretending in front of the poor is useless. At most, they'll be envious of you, and they might even curse you behind your back and ask you for money. There's no chance for advancement. But in front of the rich, you must act generous. If you have a million, say it's a hundred million!"
“Those bosses are all rich people. If they have a project tomorrow, they might include you in the deal. Isn’t that an opportunity? Life is all about opportunities, so you have to be generous, especially men.”
"When you're around a beautifully dressed woman, do you invite her to dinner?" Lu Feng asked.
"want!"
"don't want!"
"Look, look, the one who said he'd treat me to dinner definitely has a bright future. There was once a particularly beautiful and elegant woman who asked me to treat her to dinner. A man should have vision; either don't treat her at all, or treat her to the most expensive meal. I spent 180,000 yuan on one meal, and she'll never forget it. After that, she talked about me everywhere she went, and my reputation spread." Lu Feng said to the crowd, "Those who understand, please applaud!"
The audience erupted in applause again, much better than before.
"So you have to be magnanimous. A man should be magnanimous. Once I went out to do business with a foreigner named Gates. I don't know if you know him. He asked me, 'How big is your house?'" Lu Feng paused and said, "That was a provocation. If I said, 'My house is only 2,000 square meters,' that would be too small a scale. What kind of person am I? A representative of wealth.' I immediately gave him a number: 9.6 million square kilometers. Those who think that's magnanimous, please applaud!"
Lu Feng led the applause this time, standing on the stage and clapping his hands vigorously. The mechanical and simple action can put people's brains into a simple thinking mode, and follow the inertia to a certain input state. Moreover, the group's simple actions can very effectively suppress individual personality, make people obedient, and facilitate the indoctrination or training of obedience.
“Every era has its own opportunities. In my eyes, money is everywhere. It’s so easy to make money in this world. I once brought back hundreds of millions from Hong Kong with just a few words. You heard me right, just a few words. A Hong Konger gave me hundreds of millions to spend. Do I care about hundreds of millions? Last year, I returned ten times that amount to him. Why is it so efficient at making money? It’s mainly because of local development.”
