The way he called him "Brother Feng" was especially affectionate. Lu Feng smiled as he looked at Feng Zhiyao, but Zhen Kun's expression was not good. He had told Zhiyao several times that his current status made such an intimate address in a work setting inappropriate.
"You've lost weight recently!" Lu Feng looked Feng Zhiyao up and down and said, "But you look more energetic. How have you been lately?"
"It's alright, but it's definitely not as fun as being by your side. Brother Feng, please have a seat," Feng Zhiyao said politely.
After a round of pleasantries, they finally sat down. Zhenkun cleared his throat and began, "I won't go into unnecessary small talk. We support overseas financing, but things may not go smoothly. Compared to last year's overseas acquisition, this time it will be much more difficult. It's a well-known fact that Wall Street investments are hard to come by. I wonder how determined Mr. Lu is?"
“Of course I am absolutely determined. This time, we not only summarized the current development situation, but also plan to provide more comprehensive services in the next few years. The electronics mall project has always been something we want to do.” Lu Feng pondered for a moment and said, “If the other party invests money, the electronics mall will be the main growth point in the next few years, and we will sort out and integrate the products.”
"The idea of an electronics mall is great, but there are risks involved. I'm worried that the other party won't accept the proposal." Zhenkun frowned and said, "Is there a more realistic plan, one that can better impress investors? What if the electronics mall doesn't work out?"
Lu Feng's proposal was rejected, but he wasn't in a hurry. Feng Zhiyao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say, "If Brother Feng says he can do it, then he can do it. If those people on Wall Street don't believe it, they can ask them to check Brother Feng's previous entrepreneurial experience. As long as he says it, he can definitely do it."
Lu Feng felt embarrassed by what he heard, and smiled at Feng Zhiyao, gesturing with his hand and saying, "Zhiyao, keep a low profile!"
Zhenkun glanced at Feng Zhiyao's application with a helpless expression and said, "Previous experiences are somewhat relevant, but they are completely different from the present. The market faced by a small company is different from that of a large global group. It is very difficult for many large international companies to achieve several growth points every year."
“I know that. The electronics mall is one plan, and another is overseas market expansion.” Lu Feng gestured to his assistant to take out a folder and give one to everyone present. He said, “Jiafeng’s technology is indeed quite average compared to international competitors, so we plan to target the low-end market overseas. We expect good market results in the short term. Africa is the best example.”
“I think you should write more detailed information about some of the data and market expectations, and not exaggerate them,” Zhenkun said, flipping through the document. “Otherwise, people won’t believe it. Don’t write things like ‘establish a foothold in the international market within a year, double the valuation in two years, and become a world-class company in three years.’ You should focus on how long it will take to go public.”
"I think whether or not a company goes public ultimately depends on its development. If I'm strong enough, I can still be among the world's top 100 companies even without going public. Of course, if they care about that, we can talk about it later," Lu Feng said casually.
Zhenkun could tell that Lu Feng's attitude towards international capital was similar to his attitude towards Sun Hung Kai Properties, and this kind of attitude was not acceptable.
They talked a lot in the meeting room, and in the end, Zhenkun could only ask the professional team in charge of financing at Sun Hung Kai to rewrite the prospectus. Zhenkun talked a lot with Lu Feng about international capital, telling him not to be arrogant when he met with them, but to be humble and modest.
“The investment company you’re about to face is completely different from the ones you’ve faced before. They have absolute control over the world. They may not be able to make you succeed, but they can definitely make you fail.” Zhenkun looked at Lu Feng and instructed, “I still hope you can put away that arrogance. You already offended people by using Buffett’s name to host some international banquets before.”
"I'll try my best, you can rest assured about that," Lu Feng replied.
“I’ll have them revise this prospectus. Come over to my house for lunch today. Mr. Feng was very happy to hear you were here.” Zhenkun said with emotion, “He’s happier to hear about you now than to see Zhiyao.”
"I am truly honored."
Outside the conference room, Lu Feng overheard several vice presidents saying they weren't optimistic about his ability to secure Goldman Sachs' funding. However, they suggested that with some effort, given Jiafeng Electronics' current development, Lu Feng might be able to secure investment from other companies if he adopted a positive attitude.
Lu Feng smiled and ignored the outside noise, then followed Feng Zhiyao to his office.
"Brother Feng, please have a seat!" Feng Zhiyao personally brought a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
"Your office is pretty good." Lu Feng looked around. The office was indeed very large, more than 100 square meters. He said, "It's much better than mine. You've made it big now."
"What am I? I used to be a vice president in the investment department, and now I'm the vice president of the group." Feng Zhiyao sat down with a sigh and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Brother Feng, life is tough. I'm like a prince in ancient times, surrounded by a bunch of eunuchs. I can't do anything right. The interpersonal relationships are complicated. The board of directors is acting like they've lost their minds. I can't do this, I can't do that!"
Seeing his irritated expression, Lu Feng took a sip of tea and said, "You need to demonstrate your abilities. Sun Hung Kai is a mature company. If you want to be the leader, you need to show the ability of a leader and use ruthless methods to control the situation."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyao leaned back lazily on the sofa, sighed, and said, "It feels so boring. When I was by your side, you had it so easy. Everyone in the company did whatever you said, and even the shareholders didn't dare to say anything. But when Zhenkun left, you got to scold him back."
