In the 1990s, Thailand's economy began to take off, and a large number of people became lost in the pursuit of making money, as if money was everywhere. The rise of places like Pattaya provided fertile ground for slackers.
The incident at Wright's Bar didn't cause much of a stir in the industry. Countless similar incidents were happening under the cover of night; at most, only those who followed Viper would notice.
At midnight, Lu Feng returned to the hotel. After a quick wash, he had a meeting with Kevin to briefly discuss the situation at the Schroder Group.
“They don’t want to fulfill the contract now. What Li Lin meant on the phone was that we are too unstable. They can just quit the overseas market whenever they want, and we have already violated the contract.” Kevin said with a worried look on his face as he smoked a cigarette. “It’s most troublesome when something goes wrong at a critical time like financing.”
"What do they mean now? Do they want to terminate the contract immediately?" Lu Feng frowned.
"Team Leader Li is right. After some effort, the contract is still valid until the end of the year. Their intention is that they will invest money only when there is a breakthrough in the overseas market." Kevin sighed.
“It seems we can’t drag this out for too long. Ruixin Lab has already spent some money, and if the funding doesn’t come in, it will trigger a chain reaction. We need to hurry.” Lu Feng lit a cigarette and said, “In the meantime, I’ll resolve the security issue first. We can’t let them harass us any longer.”
“We still need to rely on Charon for this. In my opinion, we can treat the bureau chiefs in Bangkok to a meal. We should spend some money if necessary. Compared to the $3.5 billion in financing, this amount is negligible,” Kevin suggested.
"We don't need him. He's just a few thugs. I just took care of one of them at the bar." Lu Feng casually recounted what had happened that evening.
Kevin stared wide-eyed at President Lu sitting in front of him, completely shocked. He was dressed in a suit and looked gentle and refined. Kevin couldn't even imagine what he had been like just a few hours ago.
"You...you really are both scholarly and martial!" Kevin laughed awkwardly. He had been kept in the army by Lu Feng through a combination of intimidation and threats.
“When you’re out in the game, it’s always good to have more skills. How about tomorrow morning, you guys hold a conference call to discuss things with President Wei and Li Lin? I’ll try to get this sorted out within a month! How’s the work going in Thompala?” Lu Feng asked.
"We registered the company today. The Chinese name is Guangming (光明), and he will serve as the chairman of the board. We will hold 80% of the shares, and he won't need to contribute a single penny. All the money we invested in the partnership will be transferred to this company. We've already contacted the advertiser, and they've promised to film it within a week," Kevin reported on the day's events.
Tompara has its own sales channels, so there's no need to worry about shops, personnel, or freight. The original products need to be relabeled, which will take some time.
Advertising, character development, scriptwriting, and staff training all take time.
Lu Feng could only accelerate all of this, and accelerate it even more!
It wasn't until 1 a.m. that Lu Feng returned to his room to rest. That night, in the bustling Pattaya, people began to hear about a man nicknamed "The Rich Man."
A new legend is about to begin in the martial arts world!
At midnight, Mu Zha was in a good mood. Everything that happened tonight satisfied him. A gunfight, the dissolution of Jiafeng Electronics, and now it was time to collect the money.
He casually took out his phone and called Zha Tai.
"Who is it?" Zha Tai asked, somewhat annoyed that his sweet dream had been disturbed.
"Boss, it's me, Mu Zha. Jiafeng Electronics has already disbanded. One of his bodyguards died. I've finished the job. Shouldn't the money be in your account by now?" Mu Zha said, slightly drunk.
Zha Tai was very annoyed that his sleep was disturbed. Who told him that he would get paid immediately after finishing the work?
"What time is it? Do you think it's appropriate to call now? Don't bother me!" Zha Tai shouted and hung up the phone.
"Hold!"
Mu Zha cursed and casually tossed his phone aside. He wasn't worried about Zha Tai not paying him. Apart from the military, no one in Thailand had ever dared to default on his money.
"The matter with the Chinese businessmen is all over. Brothers, you've worked hard. Let's have a blast tonight. Go have fun with whoever you want," Mu Zha announced as he stood up.
The tall men kept making strange noises, while the girls accompanying them giggled, making the scene extremely absurd.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, several newspapers were placed on Lu Feng's dining table. One was the Wall Street Journal, and the other was the Financial Times of London. These two important newspapers published articles about Jiafeng Electronics.
“The international reputation is very low!” Kevin looked at Lu Feng and sighed. “This is very detrimental to our international image. Not to mention the Wall Street Journal, which is now targeting us, the City of London doesn’t have a good impression of us either. Other countries will also keep an eye on our international image when they allow a company to enter their markets.”
Lu Feng picked up a card and glanced at it. The title was: "The clown will eventually pass by like a shooting star, and no one will remember him." It was a scathing critique of Jiafeng Electronics.
The Financial Times was more moderate in comparison, after all, Schroders had invested.
"It's a small problem. Go ahead and criticize if you want. You need to learn to be unrepentant in the face of criticism, do your own thing well, and when you grow up and have your own voice, you can criticize them in return." Lu Feng casually tossed the food aside like trash and started eating.
"The office location is finalized today, and the existing staff should be moved there as needed." Lu Feng plans to personally oversee the creation of Tumpara.
In the morning, we rented an office space, and all the original branch managers were rehired. In less than five hours, Jiafeng Electronics' branch was revived.
