Time flies by very quickly, and it’s November in the blink of an eye. Jiafeng Electronics’ case has been in court. At the end of October, many media around the world were paying attention, but now it has become indifferent.
With the joint efforts of many parties, the best result Lu Feng can accept now is that the assets are frozen in South Africa. According to local laws, the South African Patent Protection Agency will conduct a thorough investigation of Jiafeng Electronics and reject the transfer to the United States.
, this request was rejected, and many parties were under pressure.
Such a result caused heavy losses to Jiafeng Electronics, but it had to accept it.
Han Guoping had been meeting with the court during this period. At noon, Han Guoping returned to the hotel and saw Lu Feng in the restaurant.
"Mr. Lu, the trial is over today and will continue next Monday."
"How is the matter? Does the court accept the lawyer's statement?" Lu Feng put down his chopsticks and asked.
"I basically accept it. These barristers have extensive connections in the local area. He had a meal with the judge in charge of hearing the case a few days ago and asked in private. As long as there is not too much pressure from above, it will be stable.
Han Guoping sat down and said: "But the lawyer also said that as soon as this case is judged, our assets in South Africa will be frozen immediately. His advice to us is to quickly exchange the currency for value-preserving assets. The frozen assets will at least pay back."
If it can appreciate in value, maybe in a few years, things will turn around."
During this period, Lu Feng has been thinking about what happened in the next few years, at least those related to this incident, so that he can have some countermeasures in his hands.
But after thinking about it for such a long time, Lu Feng really never thought that he could counter the United States in the 1990s!
"Are there any outstanding assets here?" Lu Feng asked.
"The main ones here are minerals. I'm really not sure about the others. I personally think that the main investment is in minerals. Resources are the most valuable. At present, we have assets worth about 200 million yuan." Han Guoping thought:
"With this money, you can buy a small mine here, or you can buy land."
I will definitely not buy the land. The land in South Africa will not be worth much in 20 or 30 years. The main consideration is the mineral resources.
"Let's talk tomorrow. I'll call and ask." Lu Feng thought of the black guy on the plane. Maybe he could ask him about the situation.
As things have developed to this day, Jiafeng Electronics has decided to fight hard. It has not agreed to any of the three options. So much money is frozen in South Africa. As long as it does not bow its head for one day, this money will always be useless paper.
The financial capital on Wall Street was also a little surprised when they saw this result. They really couldn't understand what Lu Feng was thinking. There were obviously better choices, but they had to kill everything.
Although the assets have been frozen and the vitality of Jiafeng Electronics has been damaged, they can feel that Jiafeng Electronics will still develop in a high-precision direction. This is by no means the result they want.
They are also watching the court situation in South Africa. Many technology companies have seen this and continue to react to Wall Street, hoping that the United States will come forward to put pressure on Jiafeng Electronics and directly confiscate its assets in South Africa and seal up their global R&D centers.
Although some of the practices in the United States are a little more despicable, in the 1990s, they still wanted to save face, at least for a small company like Jiafeng Electronics.
There are also disagreements within Goldman Sachs about this matter. Some people believe that there is no need to focus on a small company. We should look at global high-quality industries instead of worrying about a small company. Even if we let him toss it,
What else can be worked out?
Another group of people, represented by Lambert, believe that people like Lu Feng are very threatening. If they are left alone, big trouble will easily happen. If they really grow up, it will be too late to curb them. What's more, the Schroeder Group is
Support behind.
The two sides argued endlessly, and naturally there was no strength to put pressure on Jiafeng Electronics again, while Fuso did not have enough power to suppress Jiafeng Electronics.
In the office, Lambert took a look at his fund situation, threw the report on the table a little irritably, and sighed.
He knew that the continuous attack on Lu Feng would not continue, which meant a loss of nearly 200 million yuan. Jiafeng Electronics was short-tailed to survive.
However, he had a very bad premonition in his heart. In Lambert's eyes, Jiafeng Electronics had insufficient evidence. What made him feel uneasy was Lu Feng. There was an indescribable feeling about this man.
"Perhaps this time's suppression will make him speed up investment!"
Lambert muttered, picked up the appointment form next to him, looked through it, and crossed out all the previous appointments, leaving only a financial dinner in the evening, which was attended by all heavyweights, including
Soros.
In the evening, Lu Feng still called the black guy on the plane.
"Hello? Who is this?" Ronald's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, do you still remember me?" Lu Feng asked towards the phone.
"Um...who are you?" The person on the phone obviously didn't remember.
"We left our phone number on the plane. I've almost finished handling the things here. It's fate that I can meet you. If you have time, come out for a meal. I'll treat you!" Lu Feng said boldly.
Ronald on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant. After all, he was also a well-known second-generation rich man in the local area. According to Lu Feng, he was a gas man in the mine. I really don’t know who Mr. Lu was. He was not just anyone.
I just wanted to be polite to the person I was making friends with.
Lu Feng could feel the other party's hesitation, so he thought for a moment and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll ask the butler to cancel the restaurant reservation."
When Ronald heard that Lu Feng had a butler and was probably not an ordinary citizen, he said, "No, it's fate that we met. Where is the restaurant?"
"I'll ask the housekeeper later." Lu Feng said into the phone, "Hang up now. I'll call you later."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng sat there and thought for a while. This young man was actually watching others order dishes at such a young age. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably never see him.
Lu Feng thought of this, stood up and left the room, and rang the doorbell.
When the door opened, Han Guoping was a little surprised to see Lu Feng and said, "Mr. Lu, what do you want? Just give me a call."
"It's okay. Let's go out for a meal. Now, book the best hotel in Cape Town. It's a bit more upscale. Send out all the bodyguards and luxury cars to meet a rich second generation. Maybe you'll gain something. Things have already happened.
At this point, a blind cat will kill a mouse."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!"
"Also, just say you are my butler and I will tell you..."
"Needless to say, distinguished British Sir, Asia's richest man, Wall Street hunter Mr. Lu, I am honored to be your butler." Han Guoping's face was serious, as if this scene had been waiting for an unknown amount of time in his heart, and it was finally his turn.
Entered the stage.
Lu Feng was stunned when he looked at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "You get into acting very quickly? Where did you learn that?"
"The senior management of the group basically knows how to do it. This is considered a required course." Han Guoping said with a shy smile.
Lu Feng really didn't expect this group of people to communicate in private, but when he thought about it, his boss often used this method. People like Zhu Lidong and Du Guoying had cooperated countless times, so how could the people below not know about it.
Although Lu Feng has repeatedly said that flattery is not allowed within the company, it is impossible to completely eliminate it. In addition, this incident also shows that they have carefully considered it. As the saying goes, I can not want it, but you
I have to give it away!
"Okay, then get ready!" Lu Feng ordered.
Half an hour later, Lu Feng informed Ronald that he was at the Sun Hotel. He hung up the phone and went downstairs. The captain and his team had already changed their clothes. Lu Feng got into the car with everyone surrounding him, and the five cars sped away.
The Grand Sun Hotel is the largest hotel in Cape Town and the Villa Hotel. The motorcade passed through the Western-style gatehouse and went directly to the hotel entrance.
Before the doorman could approach, the team leader and his team had already blocked them aside, opened the car door, and with the breeze blowing, Lu Feng stepped out of the car. He was dressed in a suit, with a windbreaker draped over his body, his hair combed meticulously, and he stepped out
Walk towards inside.
A few minutes later, a Maserati sports car sped by. Ronald got out of the car, threw the car keys to the doorman, walked inside and asked the foreman: "Is Mr. Lu here?"
"You mean, Mr. Lu from China?"
"Yes, how do you know?" Ronald was a little confused. Is it possible that Lu Feng told others about his hometown wherever he went?
"A lot of people came in just now, and they didn't let us serve at all. Please come here." The foreman walked and talked about the scene just now. There were more than a dozen people. When they walked in, Lu Feng raised his hands and took off his windbreaker.
Someone behind him immediately took it, and as soon as he raised his hand, someone next to him immediately handed him a cigar.
The movements were so smooth that everyone in the hall was stunned.
Ronald was considered a knowledgeable person. He knew that rich people tended to be more ostentatious, but he had never seen someone like Lu Feng. He stood in the elevator and was a little confused for a while, wondering what Lu Feng was.
The largest private room in the restaurant was reserved by Lu Feng. It was more than 700 square meters. It was just a private room for eating. The interior was brightly lit and extremely luxurious. Lu Feng was sitting on the sofa alone watching TV. A dozen or so people from South Korea's Captain Peace stood beside him.
, waiters, waiters, seven or eight people stood opposite.
The private room door was pushed open, and the foreman led Ronald in. As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the formation in front of him. There were two rows of people standing. On the large sofa, Lu Feng turned his back to Ronald and crossed his legs to watch.
On the TV, I could only see his mysterious back.
Han Guoping walked over and said in English: "Mr. Lu, the guests have arrived."
Lu Feng stood up, turned around, and stretched out his hand. Han Guoping hurriedly handed over the cigar. Lu Feng took a puff and said with a smile: "We meet again. We are really destined."
"Yes, it's fate, but when you're on a plane, it's normal to meet fellow travelers," Ronald said.
"No! This is my first time to take a flight. Because both of my planes had problems, I had no choice but to take a passenger plane." Lu Feng pointed to the dining table in front of him and said: "Please take a seat!"
