Chapter 218: Within Ten Years, China’s GDP Will Definitely Become the World’s Largest! (Part 3/5)

“Okay! I will definitely take a closer look when I get back!” Director Guan promised.

“Mr. Gao, let’s go for the check-up first,” Du Shenghua suggested.

“Alright,” Gao Mingzhou nodded, saying, “You guys go ahead and eat! Weiwei can accompany me for the check-up!”

Upon hearing this, Gao Wei quickly left with Du Shenghua and the others.

Gao Wei stayed to accompany her father for the check-up.

By this time, Tang Feng had also returned home.

On his way home, he passed by a flower shop and went in to pick a bouquet of flowers.

“Brother Feng!” Su Xiaoli, who was busy in the kitchen, heard some noise outside and quickly came out.

“Here!” Tang Feng handed the bouquet of flowers to her.

“How beautiful!” Su Xiaoli happily accepted the flowers.

“Is the meal ready?” Tang Feng asked.

“Not yet. But it will be ready soon. You go wash your hands and wait at the dining table,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Do you need any help?”

“No need.”

Seeing her insistence, Tang Feng did not persist.

He went to the bathroom.

Then he sat down at the dining table.

Soon, dishes were brought to the table one after another.

Ning Xiao and the others also sat down.

“What beautiful flowers! Tang Feng, did you buy these?” Yu Li appeared somewhat surprised.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “I passed by a flower shop on the way home and bought a bouquet.”

“The flowers you chose are really appropriate! And the arrangement is very pleasing! Did you take any courses related to floristry before?” Ning Xiao guessed.

“Sort of. It might also have to do with my ability to paint,” Tang Feng responded.

“I think with your level, you could totally offer a floristry course! I believe there would definitely be a lot of people signing up!” Guan Qian suggested.

“Let’s not. I still have a lot of things to do,” Tang Feng said with a wry smile.

He indeed had many skills, but he rarely used them in daily life.

Of course, the most important reason was that his time was limited.

There are only twenty-four hours in a day.

In this respect, nature is quite fair.

If time could be bought and sold, the lives of the poor could probably be shortened to negligible lengths.

“Don’t just talk! Hurry up and eat! Otherwise, the dishes will get cold and won’t taste good!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but urge everyone.

Tang Feng and the others began to eat.

“Brother Feng, I have met Liu Dong and had a discussion with him. I must say, his capabilities are indeed strong. His ideas for Jingdong Mall are basically in line with what you said yesterday,” Su Xiaoli said while eating a piece of braised pork, speaking slowly.

“He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Sushi District! His abilities are definitely strong! Of course, the path he has chosen is also very good! If he can make it work, the future is promising,” Tang Feng smiled.

“Right now, Jingdong Mall’s valuation is one billion. His idea is to exchange thirty percent of the shares for two billion in financing,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Two billion is definitely not enough for Jingdong Mall. But Liu Dong surely doesn’t want to give away too much equity. Otherwise, he could easily lose control of Jingdong Mall,” Tang Feng paused, then continued, “You can agree to him for now. According to my judgment, after this round of financing, it won’t take long for Jingdong Mall to start a new round of financing.”

“My agreement won’t matter. There are indeed several institutions interested in investing in Jingdong Mall. Moreover, the capital behind these institutions comes from America. For Liu Dong, he might not choose just one investment institution but allow all of them to participate! That way, it would align with the interests of Jingdong Mall,” Su Xiaoli shared her thoughts.

“You’re right!” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “He might indeed do that! But I don’t like the idea of those capitals from America coming in to share the pie.”

“The only way to keep those capitals out is to pay a high premium! But that way, we’d be at a loss,” Su Xiaoli said, her expression becoming somewhat grave.

“It’s not necessarily about paying a high premium. The prospects for Jingdong Mall are very good. Now is the best time to get involved. Arrange another meeting with Liu Dong, and I’ll talk to him personally,” Tang Feng said.

“Okay! I’ll call him and arrange another meeting!” Su Xiaoli nodded in agreement.

“Let’s finalize this matter as soon as possible! Once the funding is in place, Liu Dong can expand his efforts,” Tang Feng stated.

Su Xiaoli nodded.

“By the way, you’re coming with me to Daocheng District tomorrow,” Tang Feng changed the subject.

“What are we going to do in Daocheng District?”

“While you were in Hangzhou, I had already talked with Lin Bin from Jingfang Company. He’s leaving Jingfang Company to start a new company with me. I suggested to him that the headquarters of the new company should be in Daocheng District.”

“Does that mean Jingfang Company refused to cooperate with you?”

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “The directors of Jingfang Company still want to introduce a foreign 6.5-generation production line.”

“What’s the new company called?”

“Huafang.”

“That’s a nice name! Sounds even more imposing than Jingfang!”

“The name is just a symbol! If nothing goes wrong, the headquarters of Huafang Company will be in Daocheng District! I hope to produce an 8th-generation production line within a month. That way, Huafang Company can produce the best panels in the world,” Tang Feng said with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

“It seems the foreign panel manufacturers have to start worrying,” Su Xiaoli laughed.

“No choice! Competition is like that! If we can’t produce the best panels, then we have to accept the expensive ones offered by others! Once we can produce better ones, we can make a huge profit! That’s the power of technology!” Tang Feng also couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hope that day comes soon,” Ning Xiao and the others also seemed very happy.

After the meal, Ning Xiao and the two others stayed for a while before leaving.

Then, only Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli were left at home.

The two sat on the sofa.

Su Xiaoli nestled in Tang Feng’s arms.

“Brother Feng, weren’t you treating Mr. Gao? How did it go?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“There shouldn’t be any problems! I treated him and told him to go for another check-up! Once the check-up results are out, we will know,” Tang Feng answered.

“Mr. Gao is still working at such an old age, which is really admirable!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “Based on his current age, he could completely retire and enjoy his old age.”
