Uncle Shenhao: Take ten nephews to the supermarket at the beginning
Chapter 1433 Why Not Just Ask Me?
"Want to know what I want? Just ask me directly."
"You're all guessing at each other, but you can't find the key point."
Morris jumped to his feet, looking wary. "What are you doing here?"
"If you can come, why can't I?"
Luo Feng walked into the private room, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "I heard you're worried I'll renege on the bill?"
Carlo narrowed his eyes. "Isn't that right? The project has been dragging on for so long, and there's been no sign of funding. How can we trust you?"
"The funds will arrive next week."
Luo Feng spoke calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.
"As for the project progress, Colin will give you a detailed report."
He paused, his gaze sharpening, and said, "But I must remind you, don't try anything funny."
"You've all seen what happened to Master Hong."
The main purpose of this match is to play Wei.
It's important to make these people understand what kind of person Luo Feng is, and that he's not the same person who was forced to sign the new energy contract at the meeting.
Lee Jung-hoon pushed up his glasses, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Is Mr. Luo threatening us?"
These three people, given their backgrounds, have rarely been threatened.
Generally speaking, the wealthier people are, the less they like to be threatened.
"It's a warning."
Luo Feng corrected what he said, then looked at him and said, "I have no interest in kicking you out of the game. Cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation."
"But if anyone tries to break the rules, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Your identities are all extraordinary, and it would be easy for you to pull some tricks, but don't be arrogant or think you're clever."
Morris sneered, "With the three of us combined, are we afraid of Luo Feng alone?"
"Whether you're scared or not, you'll know once you try."
Luo Feng stood up, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I've said everything I need to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
After saying that, he turned and left, with Team Leader Chen following closely behind.
Everyone was staring at the glass of red wine that Luo Feng had just finished drinking.
As the door to the private room closed, Maurice slammed his fist on the table. "Arrogant!"
Carlo's face darkened as he glanced at the two people sitting beside him.
"He's clearly emboldened, what should we do?"
Li Zhengxun paused for a moment, then said, "Let's hold back and take a look at the project report first."
He looked out the window, his eyes deep, "This Luo Feng is no simple man."
After Luo Feng left, the atmosphere in the private room became so heavy it seemed like it could drip water.
Morris irritably loosened his tie, his face beneath his blond hair gloomy.
"Does he think that by promoting Boss Lei, he can keep us in check?"
Carlo toyed with his wine glass and said calmly, "I think he's deliberately spreading rumors to test our limits."
Lee Jung-hoon picked up his teacup, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes behind his glasses.
"Whether it's a test or not, at least it lets us see that he doesn't want to break off relations for the time being."
"Don't want to break off relations?"
Morris scoffed, his fists clenched so tightly on the table they turned white, as if he wanted to smash them into Luo Feng's face.
"Get out of here! He dared to barge in and say such things; he clearly doesn't respect us!"
"so what?"
Lee Jung-hoon put down his teacup and said calmly, "If we take action now, we won't gain anything."
"Boss Lei has just taken over Boss Hong's territory and is eager to make a name for himself, so he will definitely fight us to the death."
He paused, then looked at the other two and said, "Why don't we take a look at the project report first?"
It's clear that among these three people, his IQ is the highest.
He also understood why Luo Feng would do this; bringing out Boss Lei wasn't the most terrifying thing.
Each of them owns their own established businesses.
Only this new energy company falls within their scope of interest.
If Luo Feng can achieve his goal as initially agreed, the three of them won't say much. Everyone's main goal is to make money, and there's no need to ruin the harmony.
But if Luo Feng kicks them out of the new energy sector, it will be very difficult for them to get involved again.
This is far more terrifying than Luo Feng pushing out Boss Lei.
"If he's truly sincere, we'll continue the cooperation; if he dares to play tricks..."
Carlo chimed in, "Then let him experience the power of the three of us working together!"
The next morning, Colin delivered the project report to the three of them.
The report detailed the flow of funds, project progress, and expected returns; the data was comprehensive and appeared flawless.
It must be said that Colin is quite capable; he's not in this position for nothing.
Luo Feng entrusted him with the new energy project and would occasionally oversee the pace and details. There were no problems, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Morris turned to the last page, his brow furrowing even more.
"The returns are five percentage points lower than we expected. What is he doing?"
Carlo leaned closer to take a look, and his face darkened as he said, "This is clearly an attempt to drive down the price!"
Lee Jung-hoon, however, stared at an attachment in the report, a new list of partners, and a few names caught his eye.
"These are all manufacturers on Boss Lei's territory."
Li Zhengxun pointed at the list and said with a sneer, "Luo Feng is paving the way for Boss Lei."
"paving?"
Upon hearing this, Morris immediately snorted coldly, "I think he wants to share our profits with that traitor!"
"Right now, this Boss Lei is nothing more than Luo Feng's dog, biting people whenever he wants."
"not necessarily."
Lee Jung-hoon shook his head, having other ideas.
“These manufacturers’ quotes are three percent lower than the market price. Think about it, if they really wanted to lower the price, they could have found a cheaper channel.”
"Don't think of Luo Feng as so stupid. He's actually very smart, as you can tell from his choice of the new energy theme."
"Then tell me, what exactly does he mean?" Maurice asked, sounding a little impatient.
"This one……"
Lee Jung-hoon pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he's telling us that cooperation is possible, but we have to follow his rules."
Carlo, growing impatient, said, "Who cares about the rules! Let's just withdraw our investment and see what they do then!"
“That’s right!” Morris nodded in agreement. “As long as the investment is withdrawn, all his plans and schemes will come to nothing.”
"Withdrawal of investment?"
Lee Jung-hoon glanced at him and couldn't help but shake his head.
These two guys come from really good families; they've helped us so much.
Otherwise, how did they get to their positions? Their perspective is so one-sided; they have no vision whatsoever.
"Have you forgotten that the money we invested has already been used for initial construction? If we withdraw our investment now, we will only lose more."
As soon as these words came out.
Both Maurice and Carlo remained silent for a long while before Maurice finally spoke.
"So you mean we're just going to put up with this?"
"No, I can't stand it." Carlo waved his hand, his face full of impatience.
"Tolerate? There's no need for that."
Lee Jung-hoon shook his head, pushed up his glasses, and a calculating smile appeared on his lips.
"I think we can agree to his request first, but there's a condition: we can only proceed if he agrees." "What condition?"
"Let Boss Lei hand over the docks that Master Hong used to have, and let us manage them."
A glint of light flashed in Li Zhengxun's eyes. "Doesn't he want to support Boss Lei? Then let him show some sincerity."
"We'll take this opportunity to make our own money. Who cares about Boss Hong or Boss Lei? What does it have to do with us?"
In reality, these three people didn't have a deep relationship with Master Hong, so there was no need for them to fight to the death for Master Hong and Luo Feng.
What you get in your hands is the key.
Carlo and Maurice exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.
Making a profit is what the three of them expected.
We can't just end up with nothing, can we?
"That's a good idea!"
Carlo clapped his hands. "If he doesn't agree, it means he's not sincere, and that gives us a good reason to take action."
Morris nodded and said, "Let's do it that way."
"I want to see what he chooses."
The three reached an agreement and gave the order to have the assistant contact Colin immediately and convey the terms.
When Colin received the message, he was supervising the project's progress. Upon seeing the conditions, his expression changed, and he immediately called Luo Feng.
"Mr. Luo, they want Boss Lei to hand over the management of the dock. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him!"
Luo Feng was at the resort flying kites with the children when he heard this and smiled.
"Making things difficult? They want to see just how much Boss Lei means to me."
"What should we do then?" Colin asked anxiously. "Boss Lei will definitely not agree. Those docks are Red Boss's stronghold. He only managed to take them over after losing so many brothers."
"He has no choice but to agree."
Luo Feng said calmly, "Go tell Boss Lei that we can give him the dock, but they have to exchange it for equivalent resources."
Colin was taken aback and asked, "Equivalent resources?"
"Correct."
Luo Feng looked at the children laughing and playing in the distance, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Make them give up that piece of land in the south of the city, so we can build a new energy power station."
This is a major project with huge investments expected in the future.
As for the investment money, Luo Feng planned to have Li Zhengxun, Carlo Morris, and the other two come up with it.
Colin suddenly realized and said, "What are you doing...?"
"To retreat is to advance."
Luo Feng hung up the phone and watched the kites in the children's hands fly higher and higher, his smile widening.
Trying to play tricks on him?
Then you have to be prepared to lose.
"Slow down!"
Bai Ningbing squatted down and walked over with a plate of snacks. Seeing the little ones running around so happily, she couldn't help but worry.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Bai."
Luo Feng stepped forward, hugged Bai Ningbing, and pressed his cheek against her back.
"Stop fooling around, I still have something in my hand!" Bai Ningbing said coquettishly.
However, she was also very happy inside.
A man is only real when he's in your hands.
Otherwise, it's only fit to hang on the wall.
"I've missed you a lot these past few days," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Really? I didn't notice."
Bai Ningbing gave a cold snort and turned her head away.
Although the two have long been like an old married couple, Luo Feng has yet to give her the wedding she envisioned.
Besides, Luo Feng has so many women around him. If a wedding were to be held for just one of them, wouldn't the others be furious? Luo Feng's entire harem would be thrown into chaos as well.
"I think you've become more and more of a womanizer since you left China."
Upon hearing the last two words, Luo Feng's eyelids twitched. Although Bai Ningbing had a grand vision, she also had a petty side.
This is actually quite normal; a person is inherently complex.
Bai Ningbing was indeed flawless on matters of principle; in fact, she did things in a way that left no room for criticism.
This is why Luo Feng is so important to her, and at times, Bai Ningbing can also be of great help to Luo Feng.
This is something that no other woman can do.
Even though Lin Naizi provided Luo Feng with such great help in terms of intelligence, that was all.
The two people are from completely different fields and have different styles, so it's impossible to make a comparison.
"You need to know that you hold a place in my heart that no one else can compare to."
He took a deep breath and then slowly looked at the little ones beside him.
"We look forward to the day when one of us will be added to this group."
Bai Ningbing couldn't help but shake her head.
"Your heart is currently adrift; when will it finally settle down?"
Luo Feng smiled faintly, "Soon."
"Soon, how long do you think it will take?"
"Do you understand what you really want?"
Bai Ningbing's tone was very gentle, sounding not at all like a reprimand, but rather like a comforting reassurance.
Only with this kind of tone will it not sound harsh to others.
In fact, it had been a long time since the two had had such a heart-to-heart talk.
There are too many things to do, and both of them have their own things to do. It's difficult enough for them to even get together, let alone sit down together in peace, put aside all the messy things, and have a proper talk.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng fell silent.
This is a question he has always wanted to know; he also wants to know what he really wants.
Is it an endless stream of wealth, supreme power, or something else?
In fact, Luo Feng's original intention has not changed. He just wants to live a peaceful and stable life with the people around him. That would be enough for him.
Even if you have the biggest dreams, so what?
Success is nothing special.
He never enjoys the result, but the process.
Besides, things are ultimately beyond one's control.
Especially after arriving in Europe, Luo Feng felt that the value of this statement was increasing.
Perhaps it's something every adult has to go through.
Whether you're poor or rich, everyone has their own troubles at this stage.
Don't think that rich people don't have their own troubles, otherwise why would so many people commit suicide?
Luo Feng gently grasped Bai Ningbing's hand and whispered, "Once the new energy project is completed, we will return to China."
Bai Ningbing's delicate body trembled slightly, and the icing sugar on the edge of the dessert plate fell in a soft patter.
In the distance came the sounds of children laughing and scrambling for kite strings. Luo Feng suddenly noticed that her eyelashes were almost transparent in the sunlight.
"I……"
Bai Ningbing opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.
She knew that Luo Feng was an adventurous person, and that was why she fell in love with him so easily.
But now she wants things to be calm, and she doesn't know why.
Bai Ningbing understood Luo Feng very well, understood everything about him, even the women in his harem.
But sometimes, she doesn't even know what she's thinking.
Bai Ningbing would never have been so conflicted before.
Three days later, at the Ray's Freight Office. (End of Chapter)
