Chapter 448 - Other Attempts (1)As it turned out, Ji Feng"s doubts were not unreasonable. Around five o"clock that afternoon, Ji Feng received a call from a stranger.
"I am Ji Feng, who is this?"
"Mr. Ji? I am Chen Chao. " A laughing voice came over the phone, "We met around 2: 00 this afternoon …"
"So it"s Chief Chen!"
Ji Feng immediately thought of the person who had called. He was the leader of the Equipment Management Office of the United University, Chen Chao.
Ji Feng asked, "Group Leader Chen, did you arrange a list of equipment?"
"That"s right!"
Chen Chao laughed and said, "I have a part in the list, but there are still some questions I need to ask you. Mr. Ji, do you have some time right now? I would like to buy you a cup of tea and sit down to talk about it."
Tea?
Ji Feng was slightly startled. He immediately nodded and said, "No problem. I"ll treat you. Where is the location?"
Chen Chao laughed, "It"s at the teahouse opposite the school"s east gate. I"ve already reserved a place for you. You can come over directly."
Ji Feng nodded his head, "Fine, I"ll be at the academy as well. I"ll be there in around twenty minutes."
"Alright, I"ll see you then." Chen Chao chuckled and hung up the phone.
"Drink your tea..." Ji Feng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Lei Lei, I have some things to take care of, so I can"t go home now. The location is not far from here, you should go over too.
"Yes."
Tong Lei nodded.Afterwards, Ji Feng and Tong Lei brought Han Zhen, Bai Zhu, and the others to the east gate of the United University. Opposite them was a teahouse. After entering, Ji Feng saw Chen Chao sitting in the resting area, waiting for them.
"Mister Ji, this way!" Upon seeing Ji Feng, Chen Chao smiled as he greeted him.
"Lei Lei, find a seat and sit." Ji Feng first arranged for Tong Lei and the others, then he walked over.
However, Chen Chao brought him directly inside and entered a private room.
Chen Chao laughed, "Mr. Ji, it"s like this. Today, besides having a talk with you about the donation, I have to introduce you to a friend..."
Ji Feng calmly asked, "Who is it?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "We will know once we enter it. Let"s go..."
As he said that, he pushed open the door of the private box, and Ji Feng immediately saw that there was another person inside, Ji Feng looked him up and down, and realised that he was a middle-aged man around forty or fifty years old, with a slightly bald head, and long hair that flowed over his head from his left side, just in time to cover the "skylight" above his head.
At first glance, Ji Feng was clearly displeased.
It was not because Ji Feng was a good-looking man. Other than the fact that he had a bald head, this middle-aged man was not that ugly. Although he was not exactly a talented man with an elegant demeanor, he was at least a mature middle-aged man.
However, this man"s gaze was crafty and erratic, causing one to feel displeasure at the sight of him.Ji Feng thought to himself. If such a person appeared in a TV or movie, then the only way would be to act the life of the villain. If he acted the part of a good person, the audience might not feel comfortable watching him …
"Mr. Ji, let me introduce you. This is the manager of our Equipment Management Office, Lu Xinfu." Chen Chao"s words caused Ji Feng to turn his attention to Zhang Xuan. "This is Ji Feng, the consultant from the Tengfei Corporation."
"h.e.l.lo, Manager Lu!"
Ji Feng smiled as he stretched out his hand, thinking to himself, so he is actually the chief of the Equipment Management Office, which is also the uncle of Chen Chao who was secretly discussing about him at the same time as those other people started discussing about him!
However, when Chen Chao introduced him, he did not say that this Manager Lu was his uncle!"Teacher Ji is really young and capable!" Lu Xinfu chuckled as he stood up. He shook hands with Ji Feng and said, "Mister Ji, have we met somewhere before?"
"I don"t think so?" Ji Feng smiled. "I"m a bit of a otaku, and I rarely come out …""No, I"ve heard of your name before. It sounds familiar." Lu Xinfu said.
"That"s still possible!" Ji Feng smiled as he nodded, "Actually, I"m also a student of our school."
"Didn"t I say it!"Lu Xinfu laughed and said, "You are indeed our school"s student. You are young and capable. Mr. Ji, you are the pride of our school. Even if you leave school, you will still contribute to our school …"
Ji Feng did not say that he had already left the school, but from Lu Xinfu"s point of view, since Ji Feng was a consultant for the Tengfei Group, then it was clear that he had graduated. Hence, he took Ji Feng"s words to mean, I was once a student of our school …"Supervisor Lu is too kind." Ji Feng smiled.
The few of them greeted each other again.
After drinking some tea, Ji Feng asked: "Manager Lu, Chief Chen, are the equipment checklists ready?"Chen Chao nodded and said, "That"s right, the list has indeed been prepared."
Ji Feng asked, "Then give me a copy. As long as it is within the capabilities of our Soaring Cloud Corporation, we will do our best to buy it. It can also be considered as contributing to the school"s construction."Chen Chao and Lu Xinfu looked at each other, and it seemed like they had exchanged words at that moment. Ji Feng saw everything and remained silent.
"Mr. Ji, it"s like this … The list has been organized, but there are still some problems among them. " Chen Chao said vaguely, "The reason I invited you here was actually to communicate with you on these issues."
"Oh? "What"s the problem?" Ji Feng asked. Previously, Chen Chao had said on the phone that he wanted to communicate, so Ji Feng wasn"t surprised.
"The main reason is that some equipment is not easy to purchase right now. Many of the equipment in our laboratory has to be communicated with foreign authorities before being purchased." Chen Chao said, "So, if it"s just the Tengfei Corporation buying it, I"m afraid some special equipment won"t be able to do it …"Ji Feng was somewhat surprised, "Really?!"
"Little Chen is right!" At this moment, Lu Xinfu spoke up. "I bought a lot of the equipment in the laboratory through my hands, so I know this the best. Mr. Ji, you might not know this very well.
Ji Feng thoughtfully nodded, then asked, "Then, how should we solve this problem? "Can"t we get the school to step in and ask the relevant authorities to help communicate with them?"Lu Xinfu laughed, "How can it be that easy? There are so many universities in the country, and we are all lacking equipment. However, due to the tight foreign seals, the number of students we can buy every year is limited."
"Then how should I solve this problem?" Ji Feng asked."We can only apply first and then make a reservation. We can try our best to carry out an attack, so we can request the help of the national department." Lu Xinfu said.
"Is that enough?" Ji Feng asked.
"The problem should not be too big. However, it will take a longer time. Moreover, the cost will be a little higher. Moreover, the funds must be made available first." Lu Xinfu said.
"So that"s how it is..."Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully.
Chen Chao sighed on the side, "Hai! "It"s all because of our country"s backwardness. Some of the best equipment can"t even be produced by itself. Otherwise, why would we be in such a difficult situation …"However, Ji Feng did not wait for him to finish and directly said: "Then we won"t be buying top grade equipment!"
"W-what?" Lu Xinfu and Chen Chao were stunned at the same time.
"Actually, although Director Xiao took the initiative to propose this donation plan, if I were to say that I"m not afraid of you two making a joke, the Tengfei Group"s current capital is not particularly plentiful." Ji Feng shook his head, "Therefore, as I said before, the Tengfei Corporation can only contribute as much as they can within their capabilities."
He stared into the eyes of Chen Chao and Lu Xinfu and said, "If you want to buy some top tier equipment, I"m afraid that even with all the contributions from Tengfei Group, you might not be able to buy one …"
"It can"t be?"
Chen Chao was surprised. "We"ve heard of the Tengfei Corporation. That Kang Yuan Slimming Powder and 3D TV is extremely popular. How could they not have any money …""Little Chen!"
Before Chen Que could finish, he was stopped by Lu Xinfu. At the same time, he glared at him and said, "Don"t spout nonsense. First listen to what Mister Ji has to say!"Seeing this, Ji Feng understood something, and a meaningful look appeared on his face.
It seemed like there was something strange going on …
"Mr. Ji, what do you mean …" Lu Xinfu stopped Chen Chao, then looked at Ji Feng, "May I know how much your company wants to contribute? Can you give me a rough estimate? "Because the laboratory is currently lacking too much equipment, so …"
"That"s hard to say. The main issue is the lack of equipment in the laboratory. Some equipment that"s easy to buy will be directly purchased in the name of Tengfei Corporation …"
"That"s not good, right?"
Lu Xinfu said, "For this aspect, if you don"t buy it from a professional, it"s very likely to cause problems! "Mr. Ji, how about this? You take a look at the list, then we"ll contact the merchant …"
Ji Feng laughed when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "I"m sorry, but I only need the equipment list. As for ordering and transportation, we will send someone else to settle them."
Lu Xinfu"s face turned ugly. He frowned, "Mr Ji, this is not good. If the equipment I bought isn"t good enough, or if it"s not suitable at all, then when the time comes … "
Ji Feng smiled, "In that case, our corporation shall bear the responsibility of the whole thing."However, as soon as Ji Feng finished speaking, Lu Xinfu"s face completely darkened.
