Chapter Thirty-Six: Proud of Toes
After sending Ma Huateng away, Lin Feng felt extremely remorseful in his heart. Billions of stocks are delivered in vain, but you don't have the ability to take them, which is definitely the most painful thing in the world. It's not that Lin Feng didn't think about borrowing from banks, but now domestic banks are extremely strict about lending to Internet companies, or they don't trust the prospects of Internet companies at all. Without the vision and courage of a venture capital fund, he dared to invest a large amount of money in an Internet company that was still in its infancy.
Moreover, Lin Feng did not have suitable assets on hand to act as collateral, and Lin Feng did not know the leading figures in the banking industry in Chu City, so it was no problem to borrow millions of dollars with the connections he had laid before, but if he wanted a one-time and fast loan of 50 million, Lin Feng did not have the ability.
Just when Lin Feng was remorseful about this, he received a call from Meng Dong.
"Hey, Brother Lin, I'll sit in the east tonight, brother, and introduce you to a few big people, and I hope to appreciate your face!" Meng Dong's voice came, with a hint of excitement and a hint of fear.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, but immediately agreed. Although a businessman has reached this point, he can't talk about how successful he is and how he can call the wind and rain, but Lin Feng understands in his heart that in the specific environment of China, there is no pure businessman. There is no businessman in the background, no matter how rich you are, which is a plate of roast suckling pig in the eyes of some people, the difference is only when to serve the food and start feasting.
After Lin Feng dressed up a little, he happily went. Unexpectedly, this meal was far less pleasant than Lin Feng thought.
The agreed place is the Chu City Hotel, which is a restaurant with the taste of the government, and the officials of Chu City all eat here. Although it is not first-class in Chu City in terms of grade and decoration, its background in the government has made many businessmen flock to it. After all, ordinary people are not qualified to eat here. Those who can eat here represent their status and status.
Lin Feng came by taxi, and looking at the various high-end cars parked in front of the door, Lin Feng had the idea of buying a car. You can't always sit in a taxi every time you go to talk about things, which is inconvenient, and it is easy to be looked down upon by other companies.
In a certain sense, the quality of a company's car determines the economic strength of a company. The license plate of a car determines the potential energy of the owner of the car, which is also the background of the government.
The agreed box was Qingfeng Pavilion, and when Lin Feng stepped into Qingfeng Pavilion, there was only Meng Dong inside.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, you're finally here. Meng Dong was obviously relieved when he saw Lin Feng coming in.
"Hehe, what did Meng Tai say, the relationship between the two of us, you Meng Tai said something, I haven't come from Lima yet. Lin Feng smiled slightly, looked around, and asked, "Meng Tai, what about the big people you introduced?"
"Hehe, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, I'll be there later. Meng Tai pulled Lin Feng to sit down and began to greet him.
Unexpectedly, it was more than an hour, and although Lin Feng was impatient in his heart, he didn't leave. can put such a big spectrum, it must be a lot of ironclad. Turning his head to look at Meng Dong who was there with the old god on the side, Lin Feng also endured the irritability in his heart, took a sip of juhua tea, cleared the heat and dissolved the fire, and continued to wait!
Seeing that Lin Feng was so patient, Meng Dong smiled slightly, nodded secretly, and the gloom between his brows was a little less.
It wasn't until the lights were on that the box door was pushed open.
Mayor Yu Haowei led a man of about thirty years old in, with a respectful face. Lin Feng and Meng Dong quickly stood up.
"Director Geng, this is Meng Dong, the director of Chu City TV Station, this is Lin Feng you want to meet, Mr. Lin. Meng Tai, Mr. Lin, this is Director Geng from the capital. Mayor Yu solemnly introduced in Chu Mandarin.
"Director Geng, hello. Meng Dong enthusiastically stretched out his right hand, the people from the capital, no matter how small the official position is, they dare not slack off.
Director Geng casually shook Meng Dong's hand gently, and turned to look at Lin Feng deeply.
"Mr. Lin, it is really enviable to be able to create such a foundation at a young age!" Director Geng's tone couldn't tell whether it was praise or sarcasm.
Although Lin Feng was a little unhappy in his heart, he squeezed out a bright smile on his face, and enthusiastically reached out to shake hands with Director Geng.
Director Geng nodded lightly again and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Mr. Lin, I won't say polite words, I'll get straight to the point. Director Geng waited for everyone to sit down and said straight to the point. However, that tone and demeanor really made Lin Feng unhappy.
looks like a towering person, if this is in a place like a bar, I'm afraid that someone will be raped early.
"Mr. Lin's fast food restaurant has become very famous recently, and the country is also very happy to have an entrepreneur like Mr. Lin. However, in today's environment of pursuing stable and harmonious development, we hope that Mr. Lin will no longer compete with McDonald's and KFC on some issues, undermining the great unity of the motherland and the stable development of society. Director Geng said.
"Director Geng, I" Lin Feng wanted to defend himself a few words, but was stopped by Meng Dong.
Director Geng frowned, glanced at Lin Feng, and said, "In short, regarding this 'fried throttle' incident, I hope that Mr. Lin will not cause trouble again." Otherwise, it's not good for everyone. Of course, for a conscientious entrepreneur like Mr. Lin, the state will also give some support. We will give certain tax incentives to the branches of fast food restaurants across the country, and the quota will be moderately reduced. ”
Although Director Geng's attitude and tone made Lin Feng angry, the moderate reduction of this tax quota made Lin Feng happy. The quota is lowered, that is, under the condition that the tax is unchanged at 5.45%, the estimated turnover of each fast food restaurant branch of Lin Feng will be reduced, which is definitely good news for each branch.
"Okay, I've finished speaking, I hope Mr. Lin will not live up to the expectations of the country. Mayor Yu, I still have something to do, and I want to go to other provinces to inspect, so I'll leave first. After speaking, he didn't say hello to Lin Feng and Meng Dong, but left under the mayor's respectful send-off.
"Damn! It's too arrogant. Although Lin Feng's meal was very beneficial, Director Geng's attitude made Lin Feng really unhappy.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, everyone from the capital is like this. Just get used to it. Meng Dong has long been used to it. It's not that the other party is arrogant, but that he and others are really out of the eyes of others.
Don't look at yourself as a station director, Lin Feng is a well-known entrepreneur, but in the eyes of the other party, he is just a local chicken and a dog, at most he has a little energy in this kind of prefecture-level city, if he enters the capital, it is not bullshit.
Although Lin Feng knew that this was the case, he was not comfortable in his heart when he was looked at like an ant. Fortunately, this time he got a benefit, which made Lin Feng's heart ease a little.
Not long after, Mayor Yu returned.
Mayor Yu asked Meng Dong to invite Lin Feng to the banquet today, what he was afraid of was that Lin Feng would be furious at the banquet. These officials from the capital are like this, looking down on the officials below, not to mention their own prefecture-level cities, even the officials of the provincial capital city are not in their eyes.
Jingguan, Jingguan, see most of the officials.
Fortunately, although Lin Feng was young, he held back, which really made the mayor appreciate it very much. To be an official is to be a man, and the same is true for business.
However, Mayor Yu still explained the causal relationship to Lin Feng, and he was afraid that Lin Feng would always harbor this resentment and get into trouble sooner or later.
It turned out that the country was bidding to host the 2008 Olympic Games and applying to join the WTO. However, the people involved in the incident are McDonald's and KFC, two Fortune 500 companies, two multinational companies with a pivotal position in the whole of Shijie. At this critical juncture, the country must not afford to make any mistakes.
Therefore, the state hopes that this incident will be reduced to a small matter. However, Lin Feng always provoked incidents, making this incident always cause waves, and after being helpless, the state would send officials down to guide Lin Feng.
However, if he gave Lin Feng a stick, he naturally wanted to give Lin Feng a date. Of course, this is also because the country is extremely optimistic about Lin Feng's fast food restaurants. I also hope that Lin Feng's fast food restaurant can gain a firm foothold in China, even surpassing McDonald's and KFC.
In short, Lin Feng is Saion's lost horse this time.
