Return To 1990

Chapter 36: Brother

Gao Zhiwei was very ambitious. He had high-level knowledge about market control, marketing, and product positioning.

This was also the reason he became the general manager of Wahaha in the 1980s.

However, he now realized he did not have a big future. If he stayed in the company, he could only be a middle-level manager for his entire life. Now that he met Mr. Lu, he wanted to seize the opportunity.

This night was destined to be sleepless!

The next morning, He Yanli's face was covered with embarrassment and she went straight home. After finishing breakfast, Lu Feng headed to Datou’s house. The duo then went to the State Administration Office in the morning to complete the formalities for the rental of the industrial area. It was similar to what he had guessed, $21,000 a year.

After he got the key, he went straight to the factory. He looked at the weeds in the yard and sighed. “When this sugar factory functioned at its peak, there were seven to eight hundred people working here. It's definitely a huge factory."

Seven to eight hundred people?

Lu Feng nodded in his heart. The early stages of development were almost the same for every business. He wanted to set up the factory before year-end. Lu Feng no longer showed interest in Ren Qianbo. He wanted to compete with Wahaha.

"This year, we will expand the number of people working in the factory to seven to eight hundred. Our goal is big. We will start this factory this year and open the factory to the south next year. All kinds of food will occupy all kinds of stores, supermarkets, and supply and marketing cooperatives!" Lu Feng stared at the production plant covered in weeds.

"Ah?” When Han Dong was dumbfounded hearing Lu Feng's bold words. He was not even sure if this factory could start production, yet Lu Feng was already thinking of building a branch factory.

"Boss Lu, I think we should be a little more practical. The most important issue right now is how to get rid of so much grass!" Han Dong said.

"Hire employees!" Lu Feng asked the two, "Is the assembly line connected?"

"We called some of the companies and quoted a price. If we get the full set, it's over 190,000. It's too expensive." Han Dong looked at Datou.

Lu Feng possessed little capital at the moment. He knew that after buying the machine and renting the factory, nothing would remain. This kind of feeling of being stretched thin was really annoying.

The slightest carelessness would result in eternal damnation.

Datou was being optimistic and felt fine. After all, Lu Feng had some money right now. He really had nothing when he got the workshop.

"The machine dealer asked for advance payment. We have to pay first and then only will we be able to bring it here."

"Making the payment first? You won't be fooled, right?" Lu Feng frowned.

Datou and Han Dong looked at each other. Brother Feng, who had always dared to take risks, suddenly became careful. It wasn't Lu Feng's fault, though; there were too many scammers out in the market right now.

Especially when it comes to phone fraud, many companies were trying to prevent themselves from falling for it and demanded payment first. But now that the communication wasn't trustworthy, many companies were about to close down. People here did not know that yet.

Some people bought an enterprise shell and claimed to use foreign exchange to buy imported goods. Who knew how many people had been deceived?

The sound of soaring car engines came from outside the factory. Lu Feng did not need to look to know that it was Ren Qianbo. He was got familiar with his car during this period of time. As expected, Ren Qianbo rushed in angrily.

There were several bloody marks on his face, and he looked extremely angry.

"Hey, Boss Ren?" Lu Feng looked at him in surprise. After sizing him up for a while, he asked, “Did you meet the Baigujing with the Tang Priest?(1) Or is it a chance encounter with Mei Chaofeng(2)?"

"Damn it!" Ren Qianbo's expression turned sinister as he pointed at Lu Feng and barked, ''You're such a f**king despicable person, aren't you? Talking to my wife behind my back, why didn't you just tell my parents?"

"You're the one who did the dirty work first; besides, be a good son-in-law."

"Fck me! Fck, wait for your father. I've made you feel good all day because you are incompetent. Isn't it a waste of time? I'm going to break your factory. Playing with me? You're should have just been thankful I didn't kill you."

Ren Qianbo was purely here to vent his emotions. He was spewing all kinds of vulgarities like he was going to eat them.

"Let me enlighten you. If you buy a machine, you'll get it for 200,000. This factory costs 20,000 a year. How much money do you have to compete with me in the market after that? You're trash."

Lu Feng nodded in his heart. He had been wondering earlier how he could make money, but now it seemed Ren Qianbo was also focusing on him. The other party shouldn't be a problem. It was just that he was so arrogant and looked very annoying.

"Boss Ren, you came alone?" Lu Feng smiled and asked.

Ren Qianbo instantly woke up. He looked at the three of them and said, “Don't worry about me. Don't interfere with my family's affairs in the future. I'll leave first."

"Datou, this place seems to be a bit off-road. Even if you beat someone up, no one can hear you, right?"

"Right, there's no one within a two-mile radius!"

Ren Qianbo had already started to retreat. He turned around and ran away.

"Catch him and beat him to death. Show him hell!" Lu Feng roared and picked up a rock from the ground.

Datou also sprinted. When Ren got kicked a few times while entering his car. Datou wanted to drag him out of the car window, but the car had already started.

"Datou, let go!" Lu Feng shouted.

Datou released his grip and the car sped away.

"Alright, leave him alone." Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "Go pay now. The sooner the assembly line is installed, the better. All that's left is to contact the supplier and continue working on the product."

Lu Feng returned home on his motorcycle and rummaged through the money bag under his bed. He counted the sum of $190,000 and went straight to the bank. He made a few more phone calls before making the payment. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he sent the money over.

Lu Feng left the bank list and sat down on the steps to the bank. He sighed as he looked at the people who came under the scorching sun.

"Boss Lu, if there's nothing else. I'll go back first." Han Dong said.

Lu Feng nodded and said," Let's go back. In the next few days, aside from waiting for the machines, you guys should find out Wan Yuan's suppliers and communicate more!"

"Okay!"

"Brother Feng, I'm going back as well." Datou declared.

"Wait!" Lu Feng gestured for him to sit down.

"What's the matter, Brother Feng?" Big Head mumbled.

Lu Feng put his arm around Datou's shoulder and said, "You should have a share in this factory. Thank you for your unconditional trust. I plan to sell you 5% of the original stock for one dollar."

"5%?" Big-head suddenly thought of something. Five percent of the over 200,000 of investment. He was a little touched and said, “Brother Feng, it's just too much. I can’t afford to invest in them. When I go back, I would tell my father that the factory is lacking in money."

Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, “There's no need, it's just one dollar, I trust you. When the time comes, you'll be in charge of finance. Also, if you have nothing to do these days, head to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register the company. You can become an accountant."

"What accountant?" Datou asked, confused.

"It's the corporate line. Write your name there and remember to bring your ID card." Lu Feng smiled and continued, "Go ahead and get busy. Brother Feng would sit here for a while."

Datou left happily. This was the first time he came to know what a brother was. He felt trusted.

Lu Feng looked at his back and thought to himself, Sometimes knowing too much doesn't make him happy. As an accountant, he would do good.

Of course, Lu Feng would not cheat him. He was just afraid that an uncontrollable factor would appear and capture the legal entity. He would not be able to manage the overall situation then.
