Chapter 125
Qi Peng was a little angry. He had been a reporter for so many years and was always treated politely wherever he went. This was the first time he was grabbed by the collar and thrown into a small dark room.
When Qi Zhongtang saw him, he quickly came over and whispered,"Act as planned, but you must not let others connect you with Jiangnan Radio, at least you must not let the Hong Kong businessmen know that we have a relationship."
Qi Peng nodded. He knew what Qi Zhongtang meant. Since Qi Zhongtang returned from Beijing, everyone felt that he was a different person. He was irritable and angry, and everyone who dealt with him was a little scared.
This time, Qi Zhongtang personally found him to come to Anton. At the beginning, this job was also an opportunity for this distant uncle to help. Otherwise, who would run 1,500 kilometers for a piece of news? It's almost crazy!
Because of Qi Peng's previous experience, Zhou Feng personally led people to handle the order of the venue. Both Li Daochang and Li Jiale were very cautious about this question and answer meeting. I don't know what Jiangnan is up to.
The questions raised by the other reporters were relatively standard, basically questions about corporate development and local support. One of the most frequently asked questions was about Zhengfeng Charity.
Li Jiale kept silent about the specific charity projects in full accordance with Zhou Feng's previous instructions, and just said that everyone would know in the future.
Zhou Feng wanted to hand all of this over to Old Li to deal with, and there was really no need to disclose too much when no action was taken. Even if they did, it was up to their mood whether to say it or not.
Zhou Feng did not intend to accept donations from any person or organization, so there was no need to accept other people's instructions.
Seeing that the Q&A session was coming to an end, Qi Peng finally stood up.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry that my previous behavior has caused you trouble, but I do have a question that I really want to discuss with you."
Li Jiale smiled and nodded and said,"Please go ahead."
Everyone looked at Qi Peng, wanting to know what this man was going to do.
Qi Peng glanced at the leaders sitting on the stage and said sincerely:
"As a Chinese journalist, I am very happy to see that excellent Hong Kong companies can come to the mainland to invest and build factories, and immediately reach orders worth tens of millions of dollars with domestic companies."
"My first question is, the 712 Integrated Circuit Factory has just started production, and your order is the factory's first order. Why do you dare to directly reach a cooperation of tens of millions of dollars with such a company?"
Everyone was shocked by Qi Peng's bold question. He was obviously trying to sabotage him!
After saying that, he looked at Li Daochang apologetically and said,"Of course, I don't have an opinion on the 712 Integrated Circuit Factory, but I think this matter is abnormal. I hope Zhengfeng Company can help me solve the puzzle."
Li Jiale breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He thought to himself, why else? The big boss insisted on asking for it. Of course, this can't be said to anyone.
"Is 10 million US dollars a lot?"
Everyone gasped when this was said. This is what a Hong Kong businessman would say. If a mainland company dared to be so arrogant, it would be drowned in spit.
"There is naturally a huge demand for the next 10 million US dollar order. As for why we chose 712, it is because of their professionalism and the strong support from the local government. We firmly believe that we can take root in this land."
""Pa pa pa!"
As soon as Li Jiale finished speaking, Qiu Bo took the lead in clapping, and the others followed suit.
"Mr. Li said it very well. As the county magistrate of Futian County, I would like to express my position again. I will definitely provide the best business environment for Zhengfeng Company. I hope that our local government and enterprises can achieve a win-win situation!"
Qiu Bo wanted to end this directly. He didn't want Qi Peng to continue asking questions. This kind of guy who didn't know the depth of the matter made him very disgusted.
But Qi Peng finally got such an opportunity and was not willing to give it up. He spoke loudly:
"Good! Mr. Li is very courageous, but I would like to ask, you reached a multi-million dollar order with 712, why did you only pay three million dollars?"
"Was this request made by Qiyier or your company?"
Li Jiale understood the intention of this guy. He wanted to mess up this order. Although Zhou Feng and Li Daochang had a close relationship, this heart-piercing question really needed to be answered properly. After all, Qiyier was not Li Daochang's.
Li Jiale frowned and said,"Isn't it customary to pay 30% of the advance payment for an order of 10 million?"
Looking at his watch, Li Jiale continued impatiently,"Sir, please stop asking such meaningless questions. Everyone's time is precious."
Everyone felt Li Jiale's dissatisfaction. Qi Peng asked tricky questions and his attitude was a bit aggressive. Not to mention Hong Kong businessmen, no one would be too happy to be obviously questioned.
But Li Jiale's attitude made Qi Peng more excited. He glanced at Zhou Feng, fearing that this guy would rush over and grab his collar again. Seeing that Zhou Feng didn't move, he hurriedly said:
"Mr. Li, you are right. It is normal to pay an advance payment. However, as far as I know, your company has been established for less than half a year and does not have any finalized projects. It would be fine if you blindly produce such a large number of products and sell them, but what if you cannot sell them?"
"The 712 is a newly established enterprise. It is a key unit that our country invested a lot of foreign exchange to build and carries many hopes. It doesn’t matter if your company loses business, but where can we go to ask for the balance payment at that time?"
"Who will fill the foreign exchange hole of 7 million? Will the state have to pay for it?"
Qi Peng glanced around, attracting all eyes, and said rapidly:"What will happen to our front-line workers who work day and night? What they worked so hard for is not foreign exchange, but a huge burden."
"Mr. Li, as an ordinary person, I ask you to pay the full amount to prevent any accidents from happening. Don't let everyone's hard work go to waste!"
Qi Peng said it with all his might and deep feelings. The workers' representatives who didn't know what was going on were really moved by his words, thinking that he was really thinking about the 712 Factory.
Zhou Feng really didn't expect Qi Peng to say this. This tm moral high ground belongs to him, and he is really good at standing!
Li Daochang wanted to tear Qi Peng apart alive, and even Qi Zhongtang together. If he lost, he should just stay there honestly, but he had to come out to make trouble.
This Hong Kong Island Company belongs to Zhou Feng. If it were someone else, I don't know what he would think. Maybe he would think that Qi Peng was arranged by Li Daochang!
These words had no effect on the two parties of the cooperation, but the leaders of the China Merchants Group present were a little scared. They didn't know the details of Zhengfeng Company before, and now they heard that this cooperation was really risky.
