Chapter 44 Dinner
After dinner, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Han Dong was in charge of staff training, while Lu Feng went back to the office to draw pictures. As for Gao Zhiwei, the general manager, he just wandered around the factory with nothing to do.

A good packaging design requires a professional team to polish it for a long time. If Lu Feng did it himself, it would probably take several years. He didn't have the heart to do it, so he just copied and drew some classic packaging from later generations. Half a day is enough. .

Lu Feng also knows that it is very difficult to enter the market by himself. As long as people lower their profits, they can squeeze the market in an instant, and even the best products cannot be sold.

Now is not the Internet age, there are comparisons, there are self-media promotions, and the kids will buy whatever the store owner says is delicious, and even if the products are put forward, the sales will soar.

Facing this kind of situation, Lu Feng thought very simply. He should survive first. As long as the profit can pay his employees, he would win. The simplest business competition is the price war, which is also the cruelest. Otherwise, how can we call it price? Where is the butcher?

It's just the beginning.

Some people in the local business community paid attention. Some were optimistic about Lu Feng, while others thought he was not good. It seemed to be a topic of gossip.

"Hey, Old Chen, do you know that Lu Feng?" A man in his forties, with parted hair, was very elegant, chatting on the phone.

"You worry a lot?" The other end of the phone laughed: "I don't know each other, but I do know Ren Qianbo."

"You still know him?"

"His father-in-law used to work in the same unit as me, and then I was transferred to Hong Leong Group. It's been quite lively recently, and many people are talking about this matter." The words on the other end of the phone were full of gossip.

There is a lack of entertainment activities, a little interesting things are spread everywhere, and some people make up nonsense, saying that Lu Feng has a crush on Ren Qianbo's wife!

"Have you not seen each other for a while? Call the old horse and have a drink?"

"No problem, I'll bring some new girls to my unit!"

"No, it's boring. Call that Lu Feng and Ren Qianbo."

"Ah?" The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, it's going to be very lively tonight."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng handed over the manuscript to the boss, looked at the time, and wondered whether he should go to the commissary, supply and marketing cooperatives and other places.

The phone rang suddenly, and Lu Feng hurried back to the office to answer the phone.

"Hey, who is it?"

"Are you Lu Feng?" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of arrogance, giving people a feeling of superiority, which was very uncomfortable.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Chen Mancang, the general manager of Hong Leong Group. I've been listening to your business for the past few days. I'll have dinner tonight in the small canteen of the Metallurgical Group, you know?"

Lu Feng frowned secretly, not knowing what was going on for a while.

"Hey, do you hear that?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little uncomfortable.

"heard it!"

"I heard you call back, what's wrong?" After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lu Feng put down the phone, and the first thing he thought of was that the current steel industry is all state-owned enterprises, and Mr. Chen is also the boss of a state-owned enterprise.

The other party's aggressive tone, coupled with the feeling that asking you to eat is to show your face, Lu Feng felt that if he went to the meal tonight, it might be a joke, if he didn't, he would really not be able to get along.

He can tear it apart with Ren Qianbo, and dare not fight hard with these state-owned enterprises. Although the reform of state-owned enterprises is being done, there are already many public-private partnerships, but they are not thorough.

What is a state-owned enterprise is an iron rice bowl. It was not until the end of the 90s that this iron rice bowl was smashed.

A company like Ren Qianbo is already considered a big private company. Private companies are worth millions, and the whole city can count them on one hand. It is these people who are really arrogant, and you can hear it from the tone of their voices.

Those who go to Tianyue Hotel to eat can only be said to be rich people, and those who are good are drinking Moutai in the small cafeteria.

Lu Feng went through all the things that could and would happen in his mind, told the big head to take care of the factory, rode a motorcycle to Gao Zhiwei's side and said, "Get in the car!"

"What are you doing?"

"Take you to eat delicious food!" Lu Feng smiled at him and said, "Don't be afraid, get in the car!"

Gao Zhiwei sat on it suspiciously, still a little uneasy in his heart, and the motorcycle sped into the Suburban Metallurgical Group. The five-mile radius here is full of steelmaking sites, including residential buildings, living quarters, and even large supermarkets. , not much worse than the city center.

He went directly into the factory, inquired with the security guard, went straight to the second canteen, stopped at the door and found that Ren Qianbo had just arrived, opened the car door and got out.

The four eyes met, and everyone understood that everyone was a joke tonight, and it was for drinking.

Lu Feng stepped into the cafeteria. He heard that it was not for ordinary employees. Sure enough, after entering, the people inside were all leather shoes, suit pants, white shirts, and back hair, all standard equipment.

All he heard was this section chief and that section chief. Lu Feng started his business because he didn't like this kind of atmosphere.

On the second floor, the decoration instantly became luxurious, giving people a sense of magnificence. Ren Qianbo's back was straight, and he stood there like a pacesetter.

"Go to the rich room and wait!" A waiter walked over and pointed to the largest private room.

"Didn't you say treat me to something delicious?" Gao Zhiwei whispered.

"Yeah, don't worry, eat something!"

"I'm not used to this kind of occasion. I'm in the market. I'm most afraid of this kind of waiting and waiting, but I dare not speak." Gao Zhiwei frowned and said: "It's uncomfortable to use the tone, I'm going back."

"I'm not feeling well when you come back to me, so I brought you here."

The two were muttering to each other, there was a polite voice outside the door, the chat was very lively, the door opened, Lu Feng saw four or five men, all dressed in the same clothes, there were three men in the middle, and two or three men with belts standing next to them. With a standard smile, slightly arched waist, eyes full of sincerity.

That state is obviously a manifestation of skill, and ordinary people can't do it.

"Mr. Ren, when did you come?" Chen Mancang walked in and asked.

"Mr. Chen, I just came!"

"You are the one from Jiamei Foods. Lu Feng, right?"

"Yes, I am."

"The wine was on top last time, really."

"I said it was fake wine, but if you still don't believe me, you still bet with me, won't you lose?"

"I didn't say bet!"

"Look at this man, words don't count."

Lu Feng was a little embarrassed standing there, but he was used to people like them. I asked you a question, and you just answered, and they turned around to talk about other things.

"Sit down, sit down!"

Lu Feng sat down, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, he didn't move, he just finished eating and left.

"Lu Feng, I called you here. Let me introduce you." The man sitting in the first place said, "This is the general manager of Hong Leong Group, Mr. Chen, and this is the president of the local Agricultural Bank of China. As for me, I am the general manager of this steel smelting group, surnamed Huang."

Lu Feng said politely one by one, if state-owned enterprises count as business circles, these three people are definitely the top three existences in the local business circles.

Everyone was chatting, very well-behaved, even Ren Qianbo had something to say, the atmosphere at the dinner table was not very active, Mr. Huang squinted his eyes and glanced at Lu Feng, and said: "Lu Feng, do you think Ren Is it always your opponent?"
