David couldn't resolve the argument with either group, so he had no choice but to send Li Lin and her group away first. Downstairs at the headquarters, David looked at Li Lin and said, "I'm really sorry, but based on information from various sources, your company definitely has investment value. I'll go back and prepare a report to submit. Wait for my news."
“Okay, thank you very much.” Li Lin shook David’s hand and said, “Actually, this time we are raising funds globally, not only here, but also on Wall Street. Even if the cooperation doesn’t work out, it’s okay. Thank you again for your confidence in us.”
David felt a little anxious when he heard this. What would happen to the City of London's reputation if Wall Street beat them to it right under their noses?
“Okay, I’ll communicate with the higher-ups as soon as possible!” David said in a deep voice.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, David turned back to write his report as soon as Li Lin and her group left.
Meanwhile, many companies in the financial district have taken notice of Lambert's actions. Over the years, Lambert has become an investment trendsetter, and companies he favors tend to experience explosive growth in the coming years.
This meal with Lu Feng is bound to attract attention.
Before David could even finish writing his report, senior executives at Schroder Investment Group were already in a meeting discussing the matter. They were eager to know why Jiafeng Electronics had suddenly become a Wall Street sensation and an investment darling.
This is something that not only people in the City of London want to know, but people on Wall Street also want to know.
After Li Lin returned, she immediately called Liu Yilong to inform him of the situation. Less than half an hour later, a folder was placed on Lu Feng's coffee table.
"President Lu, there's definitely some activity in the Financial City. A young investor named David met with Li Lin today." Liu Yilong sat down, slightly excited, and said, "I feel like the whole world is watching our company. I've also heard that people in China are discussing it, saying that we are the first private enterprise to go global."
“What others say doesn’t matter. No matter how much noise there is outside, we must focus on the core.” Lu Feng opened the folder and looked at it for a while. After closing it, he sat there thinking for a long time before saying, “If anyone from Schroders calls, just say I’m having dinner with the CEO of Bear Stearns.”
Liu Yilong was taken aback when he heard this, then thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, an hour later, the executive vice president of Schroder Investment Group called to have a chat with Lu Feng.
"You're looking for our CEO, Mr. Lu? He's been very busy lately, having dinner with the CEO of Bear Stearns." Liu Yilong said into the phone, "How about I make a reservation for you?"
"An appointment?" The vice president on the other end of the phone was a little surprised. He was here to invest and spend money, so why did he have to wait in line?
This was the first time he had encountered something like this. Although he was a little annoyed, he had no choice but to endure it when he thought about what had been discussed in the meeting today.
"Which companies are you currently in contact with? Have you already expressed interest in accepting investment from other companies?" The voice on the other end of the phone asked with an air of superiority that made the person quite uncomfortable.
"I don't know, but quite a few companies have been contacting me these past few days, all of them big companies!" Hearing the other party's tone, Liu Yilong instantly lost interest and casually hung up the phone.
At the headquarters of Schroder Investment Group, in the office of the executive vice president, a man in his fifties listened to the dial tone after the phone call was disconnected, feeling completely numb.
For countless years, no one has dared to hang up on him.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely call back and yell at them right now, but he was able to become the executive vice president because of his reverse thinking: why did the other party dare to treat him like this?
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper, sensing that something was amiss.
As night fell, the room remained dark, while outside, the bustling traffic made it seem as if the whole world was coming to a busy start, with people from all over the globe discussing the day's events, whether at a dinner party, on the phone, or at the dinner table.
Whether rich or poor, everyone is busy. If you have money, there will be someone richer than you; if you have power, there will be someone more powerful than you. Lu Feng looked out the window and lit a cigarette. Suddenly, he felt a little emotional. No matter whether you are rich or poor, you are running on a road that you can never reach the end.
Perhaps the happiest and wisest people are those who stop on this path.
The following day, and three days later, Lambert's lunch date with Lu Feng made headlines in major financial newspapers, attracting global attention in the financial industry. Some even claimed that if Jiafeng Electronics were listed in the United States at that moment, it would be snapped up!
Lu Feng ate his breakfast while reading the newspaper. He had been pondering a question last night: why had Lambert invited him to dinner? His addition to the fire had completely ignited the flames, turning them into a raging inferno.
In Hong Kong, at dusk, in the conference room, seven or eight shareholders sat together again. Zhenkun looked at the newspaper printed by fax in front of him without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was very somber. Feng Zhiyao remained silent after reading the report; he had already heard quite a bit of news in the past two days.
"Zhiyao, why aren't you saying anything?" Uncle Li asked, looking up.
"I dare not say anything, in case I say something wrong and they all stand up and leave again," Feng Zhiyao said with a hint of resentment.
"Hehehe, what are young people afraid of making mistakes? What you said that day was right. According to the reports, Jiafeng Electronics' financing is very likely to be successful. It was my fault, and I apologize to you," Uncle Li said to Feng Zhiyao.
“Brother Feng is very capable; there’s nothing he can’t handle,” Feng Zhiyao couldn’t help but say.
“It’s because we don’t know enough.” Uncle Li looked at Zhenkun, his gaze turning cold, and said in a deep voice, “What did you do? This is the second time, isn’t it? Zhenkun, you are also a company veteran. Even if you retire, the company will take care of you in your old age. You can rest assured about that.”
