This is how it is for minority shareholders in large companies. If they were just being bullied, that would be one thing, but now Jiafeng Electronics has signed a non-dilution agreement with all shareholders. Once this agreement expires and there are several rounds of dilution, Zhuang Yuntian's shares may not even be half left.
Zhu Lidong appeared somewhat excited. He could be said to be in complete control now. At the moment of the announcement on stage, he was already the rotating president of the group and had absolute planning and management rights over Jiafeng Electronics for the next six months.
Wei Yandan, Du Guoying, Zhu Lidong, and Liu Cheng walked side by side, chatting and laughing. Wei Yandan teased, "President Zhu, you're really in charge now. You'll have to take care of me for the next six months."
"Yes, yes, yes, we need to hurry up and flatter President Zhu!" Du Guoying said with a grin, "Give us a raise, especially for publicity, which is very important this year."
"No problem!" Zhu Lidong smiled smugly and said, "I'll protect you for the next six months. If anyone dares to mess with you, even if they have to use my name, not even President Lu can do it. I'm the boss now."
"Oh no, if President Lu hears you say that, he'll definitely give you a good scolding!" Liu Cheng said from the side, "You should watch your mouth."
The group reached the elevator. Zhu Lidong said with an exaggerated expression, "It's okay. When I see him, I'll say, 'Hey... that little Lu, you'd better make the most of the European market next year. If you don't achieve results within three months, I'll hold you accountable.'"
Du Guoying was so happy her mouth was practically splitting open. But when she turned around, her smile froze instantly. She quickly straightened up, coughed twice, and the others laughed and joked. It was clear that they were genuinely happy today.
Zhu Lidong was a shrewd man. Seeing Du Guoying become reserved, and feeling a chill down his spine, he turned around and met Lu Feng's eyes.
"President Lu!" Zhu Lidong forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, thinking to himself, "Why have I been so unlucky these past few days?"
When everyone turned around and saw Lu Feng, Wei Yandan covered her mouth and laughed. This guy had gotten himself into trouble for being so smug.
The elevator doors had already opened, and Lu Feng looked at him and said, "President Zhu, don't call me that. I'll hold the elevator for you. Hurry up and get on!"
"I..." Zhu Lidong felt bitter seeing everyone else gloating.
Once in the elevator, Wei Yandan said, "President Lu, the meeting is over for today. There's a banquet tonight. Are there any other receptions afterwards?"
"Ask General Manager Zhu," Lu Feng said, waving his hand.
Zhu Lidong initially thought it was a joke, but these words left him somewhat speechless. He quickly said, "President Lu, I was just joking."
"I know you're joking, but we can't keep joking around like this. Sitting in this position means you have to do these things, like having meals with the shareholders and handling external receptions. From now on, the rotating president will handle these things," Lu Feng instructed.
Liu Cheng chuckled and whispered to Du Guoying, "Accompany the CEO for drinks."
Seeing his serious expression, Zhu Lidong had no choice but to agree.
The elevator doors opened, and Lu Feng stepped out, asking, "Which comes first, the Electronics Conference or the Internet Conference?"
“The day after tomorrow is the Electronics Conference, and the 20th of this month is the Internet Conference!” Wei Yandan replied.
"Keep a close eye on the Tianjin factory area. Treat this as the most important thing at the beginning of the year!" After giving the instructions, Lu Feng went into the restaurant, exchanged a few pleasantries with John, and then they sat down to eat and chat about the current international business situation.
Zhuang Yuntian sat there eating in silence, listening to nothing but useless nonsense for a long time, then stood up and left.
The company entered a new mode of operation. In the last few days of 1994, Jiafeng Electronics completely transformed from Lu Feng's company into everyone's company, completing a qualitative change towards internationalization.
That night, Zhuang Yuntian grew angrier and angrier. After calculating the time difference, he called Eisen directly at Goldman Sachs headquarters.
"Hello, who is this?" Eisen leaned back in his chair, sipping his coffee. He wasn't really in the mood for work; all he was thinking about was the Christmas holiday.
"It's me, Zhuang Yuntian from the Hong Kong branch," Zhuang Yuntian said into the phone.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Eisen asked rather perfunctorily.
"Jiafeng Electronics held a board meeting, which I attended today. This company is now completely tied to the Schroder Group's chariot!" Zhuang Yuntian said in a deep voice, "It's extremely dangerous!"
"Everyone on Earth knows about this. Is there anything else?" Eisen said indifferently.
"There's something else, and it's very important!" Zhuang Yuntian felt that the other party didn't take it seriously, so he simply threw out an explosive statement: "You, Lu Feng, have been hiding things about the R&D budget, so don't blame me for telling you the number."
"They have increased their R&D budget, especially in integrated circuits, with a budget of up to 1.5 billion US dollars. At the same time, Europe is also supporting Jiafeng Electronics. Next year, they will focus on the European market as their breakthrough point. This is definitely due to local support. Think about it, Jiafeng Electronics is a Chinese company, but what about now?"
Upon hearing this, Eisen put down his coffee. If this were true, the international business world would undergo a dramatic transformation next year. The previous rivalry between the United States and Japan would now be joined by Europe, albeit through a proxy.
"Okay, I understand. Fax the relevant information over here, and I'll compile a report and submit it," Eisen said in a deep voice.
"In a few days, I will collect more relevant evidence and data."
Zhuang Yuntian has no evidence or data; he's just trying to make something up, hoping to get the attention of Goldman Sachs executives, or even the two major powers of Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
