Before long, Yang Lin arrived.
Xiaoyao immediately poured Yang Lin a cup of tea. "Brother Lin, have some tea!"
"Alright." Yang Lin drank the cup of tea and asked Lu Feng, "President Lu, what are your instructions?"
"Brother Lin, take a look at these," Lu Feng said, handing Yang Lin the documents Chen Yi had written.
Yang Lin took the documents and began to read. A moment later, his eyes lit up. "President Lu, did you write this? Every point is spot on. I’ve noticed many of the company’s problems recently, but I just couldn’t think of any solutions. If we follow these suggestions, it seems like we could solve every single one of them."
Yang Lin looked at Lu Feng, his expression filled with admiration.
Only after becoming the head of the electronics company did he realize how difficult it was to manage. Many issues were a tangled mess.
But the proposals in these documents were all extremely useful; all they had to do was implement them.
As they were talking, Master Kai appeared, striding into the main hall of the Tea City. He broke into a wide smile and said, "President Lu, I have some good news for you! Take a look at these orders."
As he spoke, Master Kai took out a stack of printouts and handed them to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng took one look at the documents and his eyes widened in surprise. They were purchase orders for the induction rice cookers.
An order from Kael Supermarket Chain!
An order from the Borui Premium Chain!
...
The documents were filled with orders from retail chains—all of them powerful sales channels with branches all over the country.
The fact that Master Kai could secure orders from all these major chains at once was truly remarkable.
He was even more shocked when he saw the order quantity for the induction rice cookers—a total of 200,000 units. Furthermore, every single one was ordered at a factory price of 20,000.
Holy hell, that was 4 billion in sales revenue right there.
Frankly, this level of sales was simply incredible.
Who could possibly secure 4 billion in sales right after their company launched, before they had even manufactured many units, and while the product was still completely unknown?
Yang Lin leaned over to look at the orders and was stunned. "Master Kai, how did you manage to get so many orders? And the deadlines are so generous! We can easily fulfill them."
Master Kai knew Yang Lin was the person in charge of the electronics company, so he explained politely, "I have some connections with the bosses of those companies. I invited them and a certain VIP to have some tea—the very same premium Qingfeng Tea President Lu gave me. After tea, I used the induction rice cooker to make a pot of rice for everyone to share."
Lu Feng understood immediately. Master Kai had secured these orders with a combination of his personal influence—his "face"—and the impressive performance of the induction rice cooker.
But to secure 4 billion in orders just by relying on one’s influence? That was some truly immense ’face’.
Of course, this wasn’t something just anyone could achieve. Firstly, Master Kai truly had that much influence, and secondly, the product was truly that good.
If the product had been subpar, they never would have placed such large orders, no matter how much respect they had for him.
"Master Kai, let’s discuss you investing in the company. Would you be interested?" Lu Feng proposed.
’Since partnering with Master Kai has so many benefits, there’s no reason not to bring him into the electronics company.’
Master Kai’s eyes lit up. "President Lu, of course I’m willing!"
’Isn’t this the very sentence I’ve been waiting for after all my efforts?’
Afterward, the two parties began a series of negotiations. The first point was the valuation of the electronics company, based on its acquisition price. The second was the value of its technology.
However, the precise value of the induction rice cooker technology was currently incalculable—all they knew was that it was immense.
In the end, Master Kai invested his network of connections plus 200 million for a 20% stake in the company. The deal also gave him the exclusive distribution rights for Tianzhou City and the greater Min Province.
Master Kai’s side would also be responsible for future marketing and promotion.
Frankly, without factoring in the value of the induction cooker technology, it looked like Master Kai was taking a loss. With the technology included, however, it was a completely different story.
Investment agreements like this required both parties to hire professional lawyers to draft the contracts and ensure everything was in order before signing.
This was naturally not a problem for Master Kai. As for Lu Feng, he now had plenty of money to hire top lawyers.
And so, after the negotiations, the two parties signed the investment contract at the Tea City the very next day, making Master Kai a shareholder in Qingfeng Electronics.
After having one of his men secure the contract, Master Kai smiled and said, "President Lu, you can rest assured. Even though I’m a shareholder now, I won’t be sending anyone to participate in company operations, much less interfere in any way."
"To a pleasant partnership, Master Kai!" Lu Feng was naturally satisfied with this. After all, no one who starts a company wants outside interference, even if he himself was a hands-off boss who paid no mind to its daily affairs.
Still, this demonstrated Master Kai’s magnanimity. Anyone else, upon becoming a shareholder, would have insisted on sending a representative or inserting themselves into a management position.
They would even have had that point written clearly into the contract.
"To a pleasant partnership, President Lu." Master Kai was also in high spirits. Just then, his phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the screen, and answered with a slight frown. "Hello, Mr. Hu. Yes, I’m already looking into the item you mentioned. I know you’re not worried about the finder’s fee, but this isn’t something I can find at a moment’s notice."
Lu Feng’s curiosity was piqued. ’Clearly, the item Master Kai is looking for is out of the ordinary, and this Mr. Hu on the other end of the line must be someone important. Otherwise, Master Kai wouldn’t bother with so many excuses. He must figure it’s better to placate the guy than to offend him, even if he can’t find it.’
When Master Kai hung up, Lu Feng asked out of curiosity, "Master Kai, if you don’t mind my asking, what is it you’re looking for?"
’I have a game world that should have just about anything,’ he thought. ’If it’s something I can do easily, I don’t mind helping him out now that we’re partners.’
Hearing his question, Master Kai explained, "It’s for the brother-in-law of a very powerful man. He’s got more money than he knows what to do with, and he’s asked me to find a piece of top-grade jadeite. He wants to have it carved into a Longevity Buddha."
"I’ve already made some inquiries about top-grade jadeite. It’s either held in private collections by people unwilling to sell, or it’s in a museum. It’s almost impossible to find on the open market."
"And damn it, it takes time to ask around! My usual channels don’t overlap much with the jadeite business, but he just keeps pushing and pushing."
"If it weren’t for that important man he’s related to, I wouldn’t even give him the damn time of day!"
"Master Kai, perhaps I can help you with that. My channels aren’t limited to just Gold; I have access to other resources as well." Lu Feng’s eyes lit up as he spoke. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
’Come to think of it, I do have some good jadeite,’ he mused. ’The people in the game found a jadeite collector’s hoard (Chapter 86).’
’I really can help Master Kai with this.’
Master Kai was surprised by Lu Feng’s words. "President Lu, are you serious?"
"Yes. Give me three days, Master Kai," Lu Feng said with a nod.
’The items were already in the storeroom at Qingfeng Base; he could retrieve them in an instant,’ he thought. ’But since I’ve said it, I need to create a plausible time buffer.’
"Alright. In three days, I’ll bring him to have tea with you, President Lu." Master Kai was even more astonished.
He had initially thought that this President Lu simply had a channel for acquiring Gold, but now it was clear he was much more resourceful than that.
’After all, the man could create that Qingfeng Tea himself and acquire advanced technology; the tech behind that induction rice cooker was definitely nothing ordinary.’
’And now, he was claiming he could find a source for top-grade jadeite in just three days.’
’And I’ve already been searching for this top-grade jadeite for quite a while now.’
’Granted, I don’t have channels in this area, but that just proves how hard it is to find.’
’Yet this President Lu says he can find it in three days.’
After Master Kai left, Lu Feng also left the teahouse. He drove his Panamera back to the villa, entered the game world, and went to Qingfeng Base. From the warehouse area, he took the jadeite that the previous team had found and brought it out of the game.
He then exited the bomb shelter and emerged into Zhuangyuan District above.
But as soon as he reached the surface, he heard a burst of gunfire. It had to be the base’s guards clearing out approaching zombies.
Seeing him emerge, Lin Jiao immediately came over to report. "Boss, something’s been off the last couple of days. Zombies are appearing more frequently, and they seem different than before. They’ve become... more rabid."
