Chapter 457 Words are superfluous when people don't see eye to eye (Seeking monthly votes)

Mr. Liao, the chairman of Yindu Group, personally led a group over as an intermediary.

The leader was a very imposing middle-aged man, followed by a group of reserved young people.

Upon seeing this lineup, Wu Feng immediately felt that things would be difficult.

He was all too familiar with the demeanor of some of the young men.

He's definitely a privileged kid from a high-ranking family who's never experienced hardship; his arrogance is practically written all over his face.

In mainland China, any business that grows to a certain size inevitably has to deal with these entities.

Wu Feng's situation was rather special, and he interacted with these children of high-ranking officials quite frequently.

The military comrades he had previously supported, who specialized in long-distance transportation and fixed-point warehousing, were mostly from privileged backgrounds.

There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how things are these days!
If you don't have the necessary skills and resources, trying to go out and do legitimate business is just asking for trouble.

Fortunately, the people Wu Feng chose to support were not only his fellow soldiers, but also people with good character and conduct.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have participated in that battle to teach the Annamite bumpkins a lesson.

They all held certain positions, with the highest reaching the rank of deputy division commander, but they retired due to injuries or other reasons.

At least for now, they are trustworthy.

The rapid development of Wu Feng's factory group was partly due to their help and support.

Reform and opening up is a gradual process. Coastal areas have long since entered the market economy environment, but inland areas still retain a strong style of the planned economy era.

There's no need to delve too deeply into some things. Just know that regions with a strong planned economy tend to be unfriendly to private enterprises, and even township collective enterprises.

Without connections to help make connections, it's not an easy thing to do business in inland provinces or to set up fixed assets.

Of course, there are also some children of high-ranking officials who behave quite poorly.

In particular, when the "patriotic Hong Kong businessmen" trade delegation he organized started large-scale export trade with Russia, he encountered even more children of high-ranking officials.

In short, Wu Feng didn't have a good impression of it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to cooperate with Beijing, allowing Beijing to organize a temporary material distribution center and take the lead in export trade with Russia. Those who came forward were all retired senior cadres.

As for the other young people, their heavily Westernized demeanor was also quite obvious.

Of course, they also possessed a strong scholarly air about them.

Needless to say, they are definitely the elite college students recently cultivated in mainland China, and they are so-called overseas returnees who have studied abroad.

Wu Feng has encountered quite a few guys like that!

At its peak, Wang Laboratories had tens of thousands of Chinese engineers and scientists.

Surely not all of these highly skilled technical personnel are of Chinese descent?
Some of them are mainland Chinese university students studying in the United States.

Because of the huge economic gap between mainland China and the United States at that time, many mainland students would experience a strong psychological shock after arriving in the United States.

Yes, some have completely sided with the United States.

Some, though deeply affected, still retained their desire to return and rebuild the country, but the impact on them was profound.

I always felt that the United States was better than mainland China in every aspect.

Those who study economics and trade hold this view even more strongly! It's not that they lack ability!
In this era, those who can get into university in mainland China are definitely not simple-minded.

They were able to study abroad on government scholarships. Even if there was suspicion of using connections, they were all truly talented geniuses.

Wu Feng, however, was not very willing. He had too much contact with international students studying economics and trade, and they simply couldn't find common ground.

People keep using the US as an example, and then they try to apply it rigidly. How can this conversation continue?

The middle-aged man leading the group was straightforward and efficient. After exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the point: "We want to learn about the changes in the German financial market through Mr. Wu's channels!"

"If it's just about understanding, it's not a big problem!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said meaningfully, "If you want to experience it for yourself, I'm afraid I can't oblige!"

When dealing with the mainland, especially when it involves monetary interests, it's best to be clear about the distinctions and avoid getting involved recklessly.

Why would Mr. Wu have such an idea?

One of the young men, who had the air of a privileged family, couldn't help but frown and ask, "Does Mr. Wu think that the mainland can't afford to participate?"

Wu Feng just smiled and remained silent. "Damn it, you can say whatever you want. I just don't want to get involved, so what?"
"Wasn't it Mr. Wu who spearheaded this large-scale investment of Hong Kong capital in the German financial market?"

At this moment, a young man with a scholarly air spoke up and asked bluntly, "Since Mr. Wu is so optimistic about the German financial market, it shouldn't be a problem for us to participate with a learning mindset, right?"

His tone was a bit impulsive, very much like the drive of a young person!

"I don't like hearing that!"

Wu Feng chuckled to make his stance clear, then said leisurely, "Who said that I was the one who started the massive investment of Hong Kong capital in the German financial market?"

"Hasn't it already spread throughout Hong Kong Island?"

The middle-aged team leader was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Could it be that there's some misunderstanding?"

He secretly lamented that he feared he would not be able to complete the mission.

"Hehe, there are so many rich people in Hong Kong, and they are all shrewd and calculating!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "Do you really think they'll listen to my advice and invest a large sum of money?"

"This one……"

The middle-aged team leader was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, it was really unlikely. At least he wouldn't be so brainless.

"It's just a rumor!"

Wu Feng said calmly, "Of course, the German mark is indeed appreciating at the moment. If you want to experience it for yourselves, that's fine, but it's best not to invest too much capital. Just get a direct feel for it!"

He's said everything he needed to say; whether the other party listens or not is their own business.

As for his plan to make a fortune in the European financial markets by taking advantage of the pound crisis and the lira crisis, he naturally wouldn't easily reveal it.

The other party certainly won't keep it a secret, so it won't be so easy for him to make a fortune quietly or get a piece of the action.

Europe has a developed economy, and the financial experts in those countries are not fools. How could they not have predicted the dramatic shocks that a continued appreciation of the German mark would bring to the European exchange rate market?

It is estimated that some institutions and funds have already quietly begun to lay the groundwork, just like Wu Feng did, waiting for the right moment to launch their attack and then achieve a great reputation in the financial market.

Wu Feng would definitely not do that; he would stick to his philosophy of making a fortune quietly until the very end.
