There's only one flight a day to Renhuai, and it's already booked for today. Lu Feng booked one for tomorrow.
Today is definitely a joyous day for Huang Hongsheng and his group, as well as Ge Quanshun. What was originally Lu Feng's target turned out to be a huge windfall for them.
With the contract signed, everyone felt relieved. After years of fighting with Lu Feng, they had finally won, which was cause for celebration.
At the dinner table, County Chief Ye clinked glasses with everyone, repeatedly urging them to execute the contract as soon as possible, saying that while transporting goods was difficult, making money was easy!
Huang Hongsheng had drunk a bit too much and wanted to call Lu Feng to make fun of him, but when he called, the other end said that Lu Feng had already checked out.
Hei Zi is also looking for Lu Feng. He started contacting Lu Feng this morning. No matter how you look at it, this whole thing started because of him. In Hei Zi's eyes, President Lu is a generous person and he wouldn't just ignore it.
As a result, they couldn't find Lu Feng anywhere for a whole day and night. It seemed that he had offended a boss who might stay here for the rest of his life because of someone who could disappear at any time!
The past month has been relatively peaceful in the electronics industry, with nothing particularly outrageous happening, which has been quite strange for many industry professionals.
Putting aside the fact that Lu Feng has been eerily quiet for the past month, the key point is that other companies haven't caused any trouble either. Before Lu Feng entered this industry, there was constant infighting among the major manufacturers, and things have become even more lively since Lu Feng arrived.
Within the industry, people started calling each other to find out what Lu Feng was up to. They discovered that not only was Lu Feng not in Shenzhen, but Huang Hongsheng and Chen Weirong were also not there.
It seemed like something extraordinary had been discovered, and the news was spreading like wildfire throughout the industry. But Lu Feng didn't care about any of that; he boarded a plane and headed to his next destination to finish this matter as soon as possible.
In Chengdu, at the general manager's office of Changhong Group, a man in his thirties knocked on the door. No one answered, so he knocked on the door of the deputy general manager's office next door.
"What's wrong?" the vice president asked, looking up in confusion.
"There's a rumor circulating in the industry today that Lu Feng, Huang Hongsheng, and a group of others have gone to a county in Shanxi."
"You ran off to a county?" He frowned and asked, "What are you going there for?"
"I heard they're going to set up some kind of Northern Economic Development Zone!"
The vice president was stunned. They hadn't heard of such a big deal. If those other companies got there first, it would be a real problem. Because it was a state-owned enterprise, they immediately went to the provincial government to ask if there was any information about it, but the provincial government said they didn't know.
The whole industry was talking about the economic development zone, but the leaders of various provinces were quite frustrated because they had never heard of it. It was as if the rumor had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Some leaders were even secretly wondering if they were not qualified to know about this.
Zhu Lidong has already led his team to contact the local county government. They are very interested in this matter. He can get a good reputation without doing anything. Isn't this free?
Lu Feng got into the car from the airport and chatted with Zhu Lidong a lot along the way. A banner was put up at the entrance of the county government building, which read "Warmly welcome Mr. Lu Feng, Chairman of Jiafeng Electronics Group, to Renhuai County".
The county magistrate and more than a dozen deputy county magistrates were all present at the entrance to greet him. The scene was absolutely grand. When Lu Feng got out of the car, several strings of firecrackers were even set off to show their welcome, just like a new bride getting out of the car.
"Hello, hello!" Lu Feng stepped forward and shook hands with a man in his forties, saying politely, "I am Lu Feng, the chairman of Jiafeng Electronics Group."
"Welcome, Mr. Lu, to Renhuai, Guizhou. I am the county magistrate, Li Quan Hong. Would you like a cigarette?" County Magistrate Li said politely.
"No need, no need. Let me introduce you all. I'm here today for one thing: to discuss something with the county. I had a long chat with General Manager Zhu on the way here, and the county is quite supportive of our work," Lu Feng said to him.
"Absolutely support it, but Weipuda TVs aren't sold around here!"
"It's alright, we can set up a dedicated sales point. This can be resolved. As long as the people need it, Jiafeng will do its duty without hesitation," Lu Feng said with great enthusiasm.
"Mr. Lu, you are right. You have a very high level of awareness. Please come in. Tea has been prepared."
The county government compound was similar to that in Huai'ren, very dilapidated. There were a few old benches inside. One of the brighter rooms had a cement floor, while the others had brick or clay floors.
"Mr. Lu, have a smoke!"
As they were talking, three or five cigarettes flew over, and Lu Feng quickly went to catch them.
"General Manager Zhu has already told us the specifics. We'll be using our name to sell the products in the county, and we'll subsidize each TV set with two or three hundred yuan, right?" County Chief Li asked.
"That's right, that's right. The reason I'm doing this is mainly because I was poor before, and now that I have money, I want to give back to society and do some good deeds. That's our original intention," Lu Feng said to the crowd.
“President Lu, we were just talking yesterday. Since we’re using the county’s name to provide subsidies, could you put some money here and let people who buy TVs apply for it? That would seem more authentic, otherwise ordinary people won’t believe it,” a deputy county head suggested.
"Yes, that is indeed a problem; it's like a promotional event."
Others chimed in.
Zhu Lidong whispered in Lu Feng's ear, "President Lu, it's all the same wherever we go. These people all want to collect the deposit. We've been arguing about this all night."
“I think it’s too much trouble to keep the money in the county and then bring it back to us. But what these people said makes sense. How about this, the county can issue a voucher, and we can stamp it too, so that both sides can recognize it.” Lu Feng said to County Chief Li, “Wouldn’t that solve the problem? We don’t necessarily have to keep the cash in the county.”
