  Feng Yu called Director Fang, and this is the first time Director Fang heard about this. He only told Feng Yu: “I know.”


  Although Director Fang did not make any promises, Feng Yu knew he doesn’t need to worry about this problem.

  China also wants to show the world the success of its economic reforms. They want to tell the world that China also has a super tycoon and make use of this to attract investors and improve the Chinese economy.

  Feng Yu is currently a celebrity in China and is a living example of the success of the Chinese economy. If Feng Yu falls, there will be a severe impact on China’s plan to attract investors.

  Your government can cheat your own fellow countrymen’s money, let alone us. Who dares to make any investments in China?!

  Feng Yu was relieved after hanging up. Since this order is not from the top brass of the government, it should be from someone at a lower level.

  Someone had said that once you are rich, all sorts of demons and monsters will appear to demand a share of your earnings. Feng Yu did not believe this in the past, but now, he knew this is true.

  “Don’t worry. Someone will settle this for us.”


  “Manager Feng, what about our cooperation with Changhong?” Zhong Qingxian asked.

  “We should continue to negotiate with them. It will be beneficial to us if we can cooperate, but we will only accept exchanging shares and not a merger. They have lots of experienced workers, technology developers, and they are China’s number one TV manufacture. You can tell them that I can help them sell off all their 21-inch color TVs as part of the negotiations.”


  “Manager Feng, that is a large amount!” Changhong’s had produced a large amount of 21-inch TVs when they own the majority of the market share. But 21-inch TVs suddenly lose their popularity, and they have a stockpile of goods left in their warehouses.

  “It’s fine. It can be sold. Although there will be no profits, there will be no losses either. At least they can recover their cost.”


  How did Changhong clear this batch of 21-inch colored TVs in Feng Yu’s previous life? They exported and donated them. In this life, Feng Yu will use the same method, and he can get better results.

  Feng Yu will export these TVs to Eastern Europe. In Feng Yu’s previous life, many Russian families were still using black and white TVs in 2005.

  In Russia, most of the products in the market are from China, Japan, and Europe, and China sold 21-inch colored TV at low prices.

  In this life, the situation remains the same. Russia’s TV manufacturing industry had declined, and Feng Yu believes that he can sell off all the 21-inch TVs if he sells them at cost price.

  Also, Feng Yu can buy a portion of TVs for donations. This will serve as a promotion for his companies and help the poor. At the same time, it will increase his reputation.

  ……


  Feng Yu and his men did not wait long, and that leader called to ask Zhong Qingxian when the merger can start.

  If this leader can let Changhong acquire Wind and Rain Electronics and Wind and Rain Home Appliances, it will be a great credit, and he can use it to get a promotion.

  The leader even has plans to park this new company under his department, and he will appoint himself as the Director and General Manager. It will be a better position compared to his position as a Committee member in his department.

  The leader will be the head of this company, and he can continue to get promoted within his ministry.

  “We have considered your proposal and will continue to discuss with Changhong on our cooperation. But our cooperation will not be what you proposed.” Zhong Qingxian replied.

  “Zhong Qingxian! I am not discussing it with you! I am ordering you!” The leader is furious. You are just a soft-drink seller, and you think you can negotiate with me after you have become the Chairman of Tai Hua Holdings?!

  Don’t you understand that you are not supposed to oppose government officials? I can destroy Lehaha Group anytime I want!

  “Order? Fine. I will wait for your official government orders. Remember to affix the order with a red seal.”


  The line was cut, and the leader was stunned. Zhong Qingxian had slammed the phone and is not afraid of him.

  How dare Zhong Qingxian oppose him?

  The leader thought for a while and concluded that Feng Yu must have returned. He heard that Feng Yu has powerful connections.

  The leader had purposely waited when Feng Yu is overseas before he approached Zhong Qingxian, and he had heard that Feng Yu does not interfere with the company’s operations.

  The leader thought he could settle this before Feng Yu return. But this matter took longer than he expected. He even hinted to Zhong Qingxian that he could give him some benefits if he agrees, but Zhong Qingxian still refused.

  Now, the leader cannot back off. If he doesn’t deal with Zhong Qingxian, his promise to his leaders will become a joke, and he will be a laughingstock among his colleagues. He might even be transferred to a useless department.

  Because of the leader’s current position, he doesn’t care what the local authorities and leaders think. Also, the local authorities and leaders thought this is a decision made by the higher-ups, and dare not question anything.

  The leader ordered his secretary. “Go and issue a memo to Tai Hua Holdings. Tell them to think of the big picture and must respect the collective decision of the leaders. They must carry out the instructions of the leaders and start their merger with Changhong.”


  After the secretary left, the leader received a phone call from his superior, telling him to go to his superior’s office.

  When the leader stepped into the office, he noticed a man inside. It’s Director Fang! Why is Director Fang here?

  “I heard our department is setting up the merger between Changhong with Wind and Rain Electronics and Wind and Rain Home Appliances?” The head of the department asked.

  “Huh… that’s right. This is for the economic reform in the industry, and by pooling our resources, we can move out of Asia and expand around the world.”


  Before the Department head can say anything, Director Fang asked. “This is a good idea. But did the other party agree?”


  “They had agreed.”


  “Really?” Director Fang smiled coldly. “If they agreed, why will they raise a complaint with me? Do you know Changhong still has orders from the military? Changhong’s problems cannot be settled so easily. Also, those companies fall under the Provincial Government’s jurisdiction. Who are you to interfere? Wind and Rain Electronics and Wind and Rain Home Appliances are shareholdings, and who are you to send people to guide them? Do you know the consequences of lying to your superiors?”


  “Hmph! Who told you to do this? Why didn’t you report to me about this? You had tarnished our department’s reputation by doing this! Luckily, we found out in time, and there is no negative impact yet.” The Department Head scolded.

  The Department Head does not want to be embarrassed in front of Director Fang, and he will discipline his men himself.

  Director Fang stood up. “The Leader said. If they are no committing crimes and are managing their business properly, we should offer support and let these people help the rest of the people prosper. You all should not do whatever you want for credits for your promotions! That’s all I have to say. You all will clear up the mess yourself!”


  The Department Head asked after Director Fang left. “Did you issue any orders under the department’s name?”


  After a while, the Department Head shouted angrily. “From now onwards, you are suspended! Get out!”
