"I'm going to find Li Hongling, aren't you jealous?"
Chen Feng teased Qin Yan.
"Of course, I'm jealous! But, what's the use? Besides Li Hongling, are you short of women?"
Qin Yan pouted and replied.
"Then what should we do? If things continue like this, my women will only increase, never decrease."
Chen Feng continued to tease Qin Yan.
"What else can be done? Who asked me to meet such an excellent you? Whether it's in China or abroad, excellent men are never short of women around them. However, it's okay. In fact, before I met you, I didn't plan to get married; I just wanted to dedicate myself to the political arena."
Qin Yan explained seriously.
"Don't worry, Director Qin. No matter how many women are around me, you will always be number one in my heart."
Chen Feng said with deep affection.
"My position in your heart is just talk?"
Qin Yan said with a blush.
Chen Feng was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Qin Yan meant.
Without a word...
Three hours later, Chen Feng put on his clothes, left the office, and went to find Li Hongling.
"Brother Feng, why are you here?"
Li Hongling was exceptionally excited to see Chen Feng.
"Xiao Ling, your business talent is truly beyond my imagination. Honestly, I almost missed out on a strong woman like you with such business acumen. If I hadn't gone to Sandong City to investigate the development of coastal identities, I wouldn't have met you. Without meeting you, you would still be working in an electronics factory, and I would have lost a very talented younger sister in the business world."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Brother Feng, you flatter me."
Li Hongling smiled humbly.
Her heart felt sweeter than honey.
To be honest, everything she did was to gain Chen Feng's approval and make him happy.
As the saying goes, her parents gave her the first life, and Chen Feng gave her the second.
If it weren't for Chen Feng back then, she would still be stuck in an electronics factory like other working girls, enduring harassment from disgusting men her whole life. It was Chen Feng who pulled her out of the sea of suffering and made her life shine.
"Director Qin asked me to come find you and hopes you can attend the Mingshan District Entrepreneurs Coordination Meeting."
Chen Feng didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
"Attending the coordination meeting, it's not a big problem. But, I'm afraid Director Qin will be jealous of me."
Li Hongling asked with worry.
"Jealousy is certain. Director Qin already knows that we are not just siblings, and she knows that we have already..."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Ah? Director Qin already knows we have... This... What should I do?"
Li Hongling trembled all over.
As it stands, she did have a bit of talent in business.
But compared to Qin Yan, it was incomparable.
Qin Yan was the top leader of Mingshan District.
China is a country with a strong emphasis on official status. No matter how well you do in business, you still have to obediently listen to the big figures in power. Otherwise, with a thousand and one reasons, they could make you go bankrupt.
"Xiao Ling, don't panic. Director Qin's jealousy is natural for a woman. However, it's okay. You are not the only woman around me, and she is just jealous."
Chen Feng continued with a smile.
"Are you sure it's okay? If it's not okay, then I won't attend the entrepreneurs coordination meeting; I'll send my assistant."
Li Hongling replied earnestly.
"Go with confidence! I can guarantee that Director Qin will be very happy to see you. Because of your appearance, Mingshan District's economy has achieved leapfrog development. Director Qin is the top leader of Mingshan District. With a better economy, she will be in a better mood. To be honest, she needs you right now."
Chen Feng reassured Li Hongling.
"Alright then."
Li Hongling replied awkwardly.
"Xiao Ling, I'm not just here to invite you to the Mingshan District Entrepreneurs Coordination Meeting this time; I also want to visit your company. Is that okay?"
Chen Feng continued.
"Brother Feng, you are too polite. Honestly, this company of mine is actually your company. It's no problem for you to visit your own company."
Li Hongling replied earnestly.
"That's an exaggeration. The company was built with your hard work; it's yours, not mine. Of course, in the future, when I need it, I will still need your strong support."
Chen Feng explained.
"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I will be your strongest backing for life. If you need money, just say the word."
Li Hongling vowed.
Although there was no possibility of marrying Chen Feng in this life, mainly because there were too many excellent women around him. However, even without the possibility of marriage, it did not affect her liking for Chen Feng and her willingness to do anything for him.
"Then thank you in advance."
Chen Feng replied sincerely.
After chatting for a couple more sentences, Chen Feng went to inspect Li Hongling's company warehouse.
Li Hongling's company mainly dealt in the resale of new energy vehicle parts. They had virtually no factory buildings, only warehouses.
Admittedly, Li Hongling was a natural businesswoman.
The warehouse was very large.
Not only was it large, but it was also fully automated.
With just a press of a button, a small robot would automatically pick out the parts you wanted from the multitude of components.
"Xiao Ling, your warehouse is perfect."
Chen Feng exclaimed.
"Thank you for your praise, Brother Feng. In the next step, I plan to further expand the warehouse scale, so that the company will not only be a supplier of parts for the new energy vehicle industry in Mingshan District, but also become a supplier of new energy vehicle parts for China."
Li Hongling said excitedly.
"Hmm, you've got the spirit of a big boss."
Chen Feng nodded with admiration.
"Brother Feng, you are full of talent in the business world. Could you offer some advice?"
Li Hongling asked earnestly.
"To be honest, after this inspection, I really don't have any suggestions. How about this, let me see your customs declaration forms from Europe and America, and I'll see if I can offer any advice."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
Li Hongling didn't hesitate and immediately asked her secretary to bring the customs declaration forms.
Chen Feng was an official in the political arena, and he was in charge of economic matters, so he was very familiar with customs declaration forms.
After a quick glance, Chen Feng discovered a potential issue.
"Xiao Ling, after a brief look, I found that all your parts are supplied by a single company from the United States. This is very dangerous. In economics, there is a classic rule: never put all your eggs in one basket. Your company's supplier is only one American company. Once this American company raises prices arbitrarily or follows the orders of higher-ups in the United States to arbitrarily restrict Chinese enterprises, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chen Feng explained seriously.
"Oh my, Brother Feng, you've hit the nail on the head. Honestly, I've been thinking about this issue too. But I haven't been able to make up my mind. The prices from this American company are really cheap. In terms of procurement scale, the more you buy, the more you earn, so..."
Li Hongling explained.
"Xiao Ling, remember, you are going to do big business in the future. The business world is similar to the political arena in many aspects, such as the issue of vision. To be a high-ranking official, you must have vision, you must be able to endure what ordinary people cannot. Similarly, to do big business, you must maintain absolute clarity and never let greed dominate your mind. You must distinguish between immediate benefits and long-term benefits. Only by broadening your vision can you become a big boss."
Chen Feng advised patiently.
"Brother Feng, after you put it that way, I understand. Next, I will gradually change my current procurement strategy. By the way, Brother Feng, do you know the reason why Director Qin suddenly called us for a meeting this time?"
Li Hongling asked curiously and with confusion.
