The three of them sensed that something was wrong, and after a brief discussion, they decided to go back.
Inside the county government meeting room, County Chief Ye was anxious to see Ge Quanshun. The other three had left, but these two couldn't leave. They had been planning to use the money the county had earned to build roads, but now that these two had also left, the road project would truly be a long way off.
Ge Quanshun was getting a little anxious waiting in the conference room. With Huang Hongsheng and the others gone, Lu Feng really had no competitors left. If they reached an agreement today, then there would be nothing left for him.
"President Ge, please have a seat!" County Head Ye said with a smile as he walked in, "Is it still about the cooperation?"
“I thought about it last night, and this cooperation still has potential. Has no one in the county reached any agreement?” Ge Quanshun asked bluntly.
"Go ahead and negotiate. If it works out, it's yours. Actually, I've always thought that among these entrepreneurs, Mr. Ge is the most reliable. As for that Lu Feng, he's young and doesn't seem very steady." County Chief Ye praised him, wanting to acquire the Panda TV Factory first.
Hearing this, Ge Quanshun was secretly delighted. Sure enough, he was the ultimate winner. His plan was simple: as long as he could boost the short-term sales of Panda TV Factory and give people a sense of promising future, he could sell it off quickly.
The two chatted happily, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Lu Feng parked his car at the gate, got out, and ran towards the county government compound. He saw a staff member carrying documents and asked, "Where is County Chief Ye?"
"He seems to be in the conference room. Are you looking for him?"
"Understood!" Lu Feng said and rushed towards the conference room. When he got to the door, he pushed it open and just overheard County Chief Ye and Ge Quanshun discussing the prospects of cooperation.
"President Lu?" County Chief Ye asked, somewhat surprised.
When Ge Quanshun saw Lu Feng panting heavily, his heart skipped a beat, sensing that things weren't too bad.
"Weren't we supposed to be discussing cooperation?" Lu Feng walked in, sat down, picked up a glass of water, took a couple of sips, and said, "Let's talk about it together. The 20 million worth of goods we agreed on before, plus a 10 million deposit, we can continue to discuss it."
County Chief Ye was momentarily bewildered by Lu Feng's actions, feeling as if Lu Feng was there to stir up trouble. But he didn't care about that; even if Lu Feng was a self-inflicted shill, he was still happy.
Besides, since Lu Feng is so eager, let him sign the contract quietly first.
"I'm talking to General Manager Ge right now!" County Chief Ye smiled awkwardly.
"It's alright, we can talk anytime." Lu Feng sat down and asked Ge Quanshun, "Mr. Ge, you're so interested? Can you compete with me? With Panda's strength, it's no match!"
"If we can't compete, let President Lu do it. If President Lu wants to finish all the business in the world, then I'll go back home and farm." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Ge Quanshun's words.
"Then go back home and farm," Lu Feng said dismissively, leaning back in his chair. "Doing business is such tiring work, let me do it. Didn't they leave today? Why didn't you leave?"
"Of course I'll stay with President Lu!" Ge Quanshun snorted coldly, his expression quite unfriendly, clearly indicating that everyone was serious about this.
Lu Feng took a drag of his cigarette, not backing down an inch; "I'm not afraid to be blunt, I know some people here. Don't even mention you, even that damn Boss Niu, so what? That's how I operate, nobody can mess with me, nobody can come and they'll all be screwed!"
Lu Feng's words were undeniably arrogant, especially in front of County Chief Ye, clearly indicating his intention to control everything.
County Chief Ye's face was grim, but he thought to himself, "You're all so arrogant now, just wait and see. Once the contract is signed, try being arrogant again."
"Mr. Lu, don't get so angry, have some water." County Chief Ye comforted him, "Both of you want to invest in our county and want to gain a foothold in the Northern Economic Development Zone. How about this, Mr. Lu, let's talk first. Mr. Ge, have some water!"
County Chief Ye pulled Lu Feng outside, and the two stood outside smoking. County Chief Ye's thinking was simple: at this point, they should catch as many as they could.
"President Lu, I have something to tell you. We've received notification that the Northern Economic Development Zone is a done deal, but we're not allowed to announce it. I'm just letting you know that our county can quietly arrange for some companies to move in. There will definitely be a limited number of slots." County Head Ye lowered his voice, speaking very frankly. "You'll definitely be one of them. Setting the price of TVs so low will give the county a good reputation, and you'll sell them faster. Isn't that great?"
Lu Feng felt something was off as he listened. He frowned slightly, looked at him, and nodded, saying, "Ah! Yes, what's wrong?"
"Don't tell anyone about this. I've already signed a contract with General Manager Ge. Both the inventory and the deposit are much higher than what we discussed the other day. But I think you're a great guy. I wouldn't tell anyone else this." County Chief Ye put his arm around Lu Feng's shoulder and said, "Don't spread rumors when you go out. Thirty million worth of goods and fifteen million in deposits. This is my greatest sincerity to you."
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at County Chief Ye's face. This is no good person!
I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would do something like this, which is typical of businessmen.
Seeing Lu Feng hesitate, County Chief Ye said, "We really can't go any lower. At most, the deposit will be reduced by two or three million. You absolutely must not tell President Ge about this. This is a special favor for you, understand?"
Lu Feng almost laughed when he heard this. The other party really thought he wanted to invest here and sign this contract. He even believed the convincing from a northern economic development zone.
“Okay, but I need some time to discuss this with the company’s senior management and shareholders. I can’t make a decision on this matter myself,” Lu Feng declined.
