When Lu Feng called, he was told that Su Yourong was in a meeting and would call him back later. He hung up and went back to work.
At the United Capital meeting room, the door opened, and Su Yourong walked out in a business suit, a smile on her face. She had gained a little weight recently, which made her figure look even more charming. She wore exquisite makeup and shook hands with a man in his fifties, saying, "Then I wish President Chu all the best for the company's IPO."
"I still want to thank President Su. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also exceptionally capable. Choosing United Capital was truly the best choice for us when it came to going public," President Chu said politely.
“There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I had planned to host a banquet for you tonight, but unfortunately I am very busy here, so I can only apologize,” Su Yourong said politely.
As the two exchanged pleasantries, an assistant approached and whispered, "President Su, Mr. Lu from Jiafeng Electronics called looking for you. I've already replied to him; he'll call you back as soon as the meeting is over."
Su Yourong rolled her eyes when she heard the name Lu Feng. She thought he was so engrossed in his relationship with the foreign girl that he had forgotten about her. His sudden call meant he probably wanted her to do something for him again.
Thinking about this, I felt furious. Although the relationship between the two of them was based on mutual exploitation, it shouldn't be so blatant. They contact each other when they need each other, and then can't even find each other when they don't.
"Okay, I understand."
After seeing President Chu off, Su Yourong returned to her office and sat down. In the past six months, Su Yourong had developed very well. Not only was she thriving in Hong Kong's financial world, but with the expansion of United Capital, she had also come into contact with some international capital.
Su Yourong has now established herself as a top financial figure in Hong Kong!
Lighting a cigarette, Su Yourong exhaled a puff of smoke, her expression somewhat impatient, while outside it was pouring rain.
A few minutes later, Su Yourong returned Lu Feng's call.
"Hey, it's not easy for a busy person like President Lu to remember me. I haven't heard from you since I finished my business at the end of last year. I thought you were abducted by aliens." Su Yourong's voice was full of sarcasm.
Lu Feng smiled a little embarrassed when he heard her words and said, "I'm just too busy, you know that."
"Of course I'm busy! I'm always cuddling with that foreign girl, busy stirring up trouble. I don't have time for me at all," Su Yourong said, her voice tinged with bitterness. "Why are you calling me now? To borrow money? To raise funds?"
“We’re old acquaintances, why be like this? It was my fault. I’ll buy you a gift to apologize, how about that?” Lu Feng chuckled and said, “To express my apology, I’ll go to Hong Kong tomorrow to be with you.”
"Come keep me company?" Su Yourong was quite surprised. From Lu Feng's words, she could tell that he was serious. Such a grand gesture was definitely not a simple matter. Su Yourong asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
"I didn't do anything, I just missed you," Lu Feng said sweetly.
"If you don't say anything, I won't see you. We need to do this, so just tell me what you want." Su Yourong knew Lu Feng too well. If she weren't useful to him, this man would never have taken the initiative to have any interaction with her.
Seeing her like this, Lu Feng had no choice but to briefly explain the situation. Su Yourong's face turned ugly after hearing it. This man really only came to her when he needed her.
"Ha! Lu Feng, you're doing well now, huh? I'm not attractive to you, huh?" Su Yourong sneered. "You won't contact me anymore just because you don't need me, right?"
"How could that be? I've been thinking about you day and night, and I even dreamed about you last night. I've just been busy, please understand." Lu Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "Now, I'm afraid that if I don't align myself with Wall Street, Sun Hung Kai won't support me anymore. So I still need you to cover for me. If you handle this well, it will be a great achievement for you in the global capital world."
"So I have to help you?" Su Yourong said irritably, "You just know how to coax me. Do you think I'm that easy to coax?"
"You'll get to meet some big names in international capital, and your status and position will definitely be different then. Plus, I can give you a cut of the profits from this, putting it into your own pocket," Lu Feng tempted. "When have I ever done anything without giving you a share?"
Hearing this, Su Yourong felt a little better and said, "Let's meet and talk tomorrow. Which hotel are you staying at?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lu Feng seemed to have already sensed something.
"Are you going to let me help you or not?" Su Yourong said irritably, "You don't want to? Then forget it."
"What kind of talk is that? I don't even know where the hotel is. I'll let you know as soon as I book it," Lu Feng said with a smile.
"That's more like it. Bye, see you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng got busy with his work. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to come back for a while after leaving tomorrow.
In 1994, no Chinese company was able to raise money on Wall Street. For international capital, mainland China was a wasteland for investment. Due to certain prejudices, international capital believed that investment in this place was not stable and that its development potential was very small, making it impossible to give birth to large international companies.
Moreover, very little of their investment is domestic; most of it is concentrated in coastal cities to take advantage of government policies.
In the international arena, there is no Chinese presence. To grow and thrive internationally, what is needed is not just corporate capability, but national influence. Otherwise, before you can even develop, the other side can easily impose a law that bankrupts you.
Compared to the domestic practices, the international practices are more ruthless and realistic. Various personal connections and national influences are intertwined, requiring skillful maneuvering. Putting aside the issue of high-ranking officials being detained, they might even divide people into several groups and smuggle them out in batches using woven bags.
