Chapter 991: What did Lu Feng do again?
The next morning.
Because they drank too much last night, they originally planned to return in the morning, but in the end Jed and Hans didn't get on the plane until the afternoon.
Fortunately, they were on a private plane, so the problem was not serious.
After sending them on the plane, Lu Feng went straight to Huayu Group.
For the next period of time, his work focus will be on this aspect and he cannot be careless at all.
After all, none of his opponents are simple. Each one has greater power and more sophisticated methods than the other.
At the same time, in the Imperial Capital, in the Purple Gold Pavilion, Li Zhengguo was chatting with a man who looked to be about fifty years old.
"Haha, Zhengguo, why did you, such a busy man, think of coming to see me today?"
The man laughed, breaking the silence around him. Although he was just sitting there quietly, he seemed to be wrapped in an invisible sense of oppression.
He was wearing a well-tailored dark gray Zhongshan suit without a single ornament.
The birds in the trees were chirping, but the moment he leaned his back against the carved mahogany chair, the air in the entire yard seemed to have lost its warmth, and the singing birds also closed their mouths.
"You're joking. The entire burden of China is carried on your shoulders. Compared to you, how can the work I have on hand be considered hard?"
Li Zhengguo smiled slightly, then picked up the teapot on the table and refilled the man's teacup with tea.
If Lu Feng saw this scene, he would be so surprised that he would be speechless. After all, Li Zhengguo was already the third in command at this time, and he was truly at the top of China.
But in front of this man, she still had to stand up and pour water, and the man looked calm from beginning to end, as if all this was as it should be.
"Zhengguo, there's no room for formalities between you and me. We've known each other for so many years, how could I not understand you? Tell me, is there something you want to talk to me about this time?"
Li Zhengguo was slightly stunned, then laughed twice and nodded: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. I do have something to ask you."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it."
Li Zhengguo put down his teacup, his tone somewhat solemn: "This matter is related to Lu Feng."
When the man heard the word "Lu Feng", a hint of expectation flashed across his majestic eyes.
In fact, he had already guessed something when Li Zhengguo came to him.
Looking at the whole of China, the only person who can ask Li Zhengguo to do things for him is Lu Feng. No one else, even Li Zhengguo’s biological brother Li Zhengjun, is likely to be able to do it.
"What new moves has Lu Feng made?"
The man smiled casually, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
Li Zhengguo nodded, a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Lu Feng wants to artificially build an island in the waters of the Magic City to serve as the headquarters of the group."
"This matter involves too much, and I dare not make a decision on my own, so I came to ask for your opinion."
After these words were spoken, even the man was a little distracted, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then he smiled softly, with a hint of sigh in his tone: "I underestimated this kid's ambition." He leaned back in the carved mahogany chair, squinting his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Building an island in the waters of the Magic City is no small matter. There are too many interests involved. If we are not careful, it may even attract international attention."
Li Zhengguo leaned forward, clasped his hands on his knees, and said solemnly:
"I've thought about your concerns over and over again."
"This matter involves maritime planning, international impact, and the potential chain reactions that may follow. After much deliberation, I simply cannot make a decision rashly. I can only ask you for your opinion."
The man leaned back, sinking deeply into the carved mahogany chair.
He placed his left hand on the armrest, tapping it with his index and middle fingers intermittently, making a slow rhythmic "tapping" sound.
The sound echoed in the silent room, like the second hand of a clock, and every beat made people's hearts tense.
The whole yard was so quiet that you could hear the soft sound of leaves falling to the ground.
After two full minutes, the man finally spoke in a deep voice, "Reclaiming land and building islands is not completely unprecedented in terms of policy."
"But the most difficult thing is not the technology, but the rules."
"Today I agreed to Lu Feng, and tomorrow the Wang and Li families will come to ask for land. I can't be hypocritical, right?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on the celadon teacup on the tea table, and his eyes narrowed behind the lenses, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
However, facing this set of rhetoric, Li Zhengguo was well prepared and immediately responded:
"But you know, Lu Feng's situation is different from others. Apart from anything else, just the drone technology he contributed has greatly improved our national defense capabilities."
"And the nerve repair drug? How many paralyzed patients could it save? Which of these two achievements wouldn't benefit the country and its people? Based on these facts alone, it's reasonable to give it a green light for approval."
The man frowned and tapped the handrail faster. "But once the policy is relaxed, it will be difficult to tighten it later."
His tone was filled with warning, "You and I both know that once something starts, it's like a flood bursting through a dam, and there's no way to stop it."
Li Zhengguo swallowed his saliva in response to the man's words. After serving as an official for decades, how could he understand this truth?
But when he thought of Lu Feng's expectant eyes, he could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Of course I understand what you mean, but this guy has done so much for the country. He's spent 20 billion on charity. This alone surpasses all the companies in China."
"Strictly speaking, this is our job. We haven't done anything yet, so we asked him to do it for us. He paid for it, but the reputation falls on us old guys."
"If we don't take any action, I don't know what you would think. Anyway, I feel a little embarrassed."
Li Zhengguo became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally made some insinuations.
Looking at the excited Li Zhengguo, the man smiled helplessly and wanted to explain, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Li Zhengguo again.
"Besides the charity foundation, if he hadn't led the rescue operation in northern Myanmar a while ago, how could those abducted compatriots have returned safely?"
"If the charity foundation's problems can be solved simply by spending money, then going to Myanmar is a real life-or-death experience. But even so, Lu Feng still went, and even asked to go."
"After enduring countless dangers and rescuing our compatriots, we are the ones who gained the fame. What did this kid gain? Just a few worthless jade mines!"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing that Li Zhengguo was getting increasingly angry, the man hurriedly stopped him.
