"You are so interesting!" The little brother looked at Lu Feng and smiled and said, "Are you coming to South Africa to play?"

"A business trip, where are you?" Lu Feng asked casually.

"I'm going home. Welcome to the land of Africa!" The little brother said politely.

The plane had stopped, and the stewardess guided the first-class passengers to leave first. Lu Feng stood up and walked outside. He looked at the black man next to him. His clothes did not look like an ordinary person.

"What do you do at home?" Lu Feng asked.

The younger brother looked at Lu Feng in surprise. It was presumptuous to ask someone about their professional income in a foreign country. He looked at Lu Feng and replied, "Mining!"

"Let me tell you, your temperament is as good as mine!" Lu Feng joked.

"Hahahaha!" The younger brother couldn't help laughing. This was the first time he heard such words. The two of them didn't communicate much along the way. They didn't expect to find such an interesting person when they got off the plane.

"I run a company. It's my first time in South Africa and I don't know anyone. Do you want to leave a business card?" Lu Feng took out his own business card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Just call me. This is the phone number." The little brother took the business card and took a look at it, and said in surprise: "Are you from China?"

"right!"

"Cool!" He gestured with his hands and said, "Bruce Lee, kung fu!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Lu Feng walked out of the plane with a smile. The young man was thirty-one years old, his name was Ronald. From the conversation, he felt that he was not the son of an ordinary mine boss.

Lu Feng had just settled in South Africa and was not very familiar with it. With many friends and multiple routes, he might be able to use them.

Outside the airport, people from Regal Security Company arrived yesterday, and the team from the overseas business department also arrived, making arrangements for hotels and pick-up and drop-off vehicles.

After bidding farewell to Ronald, Lu Feng walked out of the airport and saw the captain and the others again, and said, "We meet again!"

"Hello, Mr. Lu!" the captain said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am the vice president of the overseas business department. My name is Han Guoping!" A man in his forties introduced to Lu Feng.

He is about 1.7 meters tall, has a bit of a southern accent, is slightly bald, and wears a pair of rimless glasses. He looks like a greasy middle-aged man in the workplace.

"You arrived yesterday, right?" Lu Feng asked.

"Yes, we have done a lot of work in the early stage. You can get in the car first and we will chat on the way." Han Guoping made a gesture of invitation.

Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa and an important international city. It is basically not associated with poverty. There are flat asphalt roads everywhere and high-rise buildings when you look up. South Africa is an important center for diamonds and mining in the world. A variety of rare metals are mined here.

South Africa's desolation began in the late 1990s, but even more than two decades later, South Africa is still Africa's economic engine.

Han Guoping briefly talked about the ins and outs of this incident along the way. The matter is easy to find out. People are just teasing you openly. If you ask some international people, it will be clear.

"There are many people behind this matter, including pressure from the United States. It is no longer a purely commercial behavior, but involves a national game. What we know now is that the three companies Motorola, Sony, and Panasonic are in conflict with the United States. Several companies, including Intel and AMD, stand together. There is a competitive relationship between the two parties, but they all choose to suppress us."

Han Guoping sighed and said with a hint of helplessness: "They really think highly of us. According to some gossip, these companies have a close relationship with Wall Street. I heard that they reported it through Wall Street, which promoted some departments in the United States to put pressure on the outside world. Some people say Some time ago, they were looking for our industry around the world like a mad dog, and finally chose Africa."

"Last night we had some communication with the three companies we cooperated with locally. The result now is that the business cannot be done. The most important thing now is how to preserve the latest batch of goods, and how to prevent the infringement. After figuring out the patent property matter, my suggestion is to sue locally to defend your rights.”

After briefly explaining the situation, Lu Feng looked very unhappy. This matter was not as easy to deal with as before. It was already settled, and the business was definitely in trouble.

“Caota damn!!”

Lu Feng cursed angrily.

The other people in the business car were silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Lu Feng knew in his heart that the easy road ahead had been completed, and the most difficult part had just begun. This part of the road was by no means the power of a reborn person. Can contend.

After arriving at the hotel, Lu Feng checked in first. Next, he had to meet with the head of South Africa's external department. He still had to listen to others regarding the relevant situation.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a call came to the hotel where Lu Feng was staying. A few minutes later, Han Guoping knocked on Lu Feng's door, walked in and said, "Someone from the embassy wants to talk to you."

"Turn around! What's the other person's last name?"

"The last name is Xu!"

The call was transferred, and Lu Feng picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Ambassador Xu, I am Lu Feng from Jiafeng Electronics Group."

"Hello, Mr. Lu. First of all, I welcome you to South Africa. Something like this happened recently. I feel sorry for you. However, the matter has already happened and we can only solve it. You have already checked into the hotel, right?" The head's voice was quite kind.

"Yes, you have worked hard and still have to worry about my affairs."

"As the ambassador to the local area, I am here to serve you. The current situation may be a bit complicated, and it is not convenient to talk over the phone. Please come and come."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng hurriedly put on his coat and said to Han Guoping: "Go to the embassy."

I went downstairs and got in the car, went straight to the Chinese Embassy in the local area, and walked in under the leadership of the guard. There was already a man in his fifties waiting in the living room.

"Hello, hello, why are you still waiting here?" Lu Feng hurried over, grabbed the other person's hand with both hands and said, "I've left you to worry."

"Yes, you should sit down first and come with me to meet with the head of the local foreign affairs department later." Ambassador Xu sat down and said, "This matter is purely a groundless suppression. We have already lodged representations with the United States, but what? , you also know that they have been overbearing for more than a day or two, and things like this will basically have no results."

"I know that robbers are not made in a day, but the African business is really important to us. Can we continue supplying in another way, or make some kind of concession?" Lu Feng's face was covered with dark clouds, and he licked his lips. He pursed his lips and said, "Tell me, what should you do if you are robbed? Just spend money to eliminate the disaster!"

"You can't say that. We are not at the mercy of others." Ambassador Xu glanced at the time and said, "Let's go. If you have any questions, just ask. In the final analysis, the local people are also the victims. All three companies need to find their way out again."

Flanders was on the phone in his office, with seven or eight people standing next to him, responding to different situations on the phone.

"We only have a few requirements for Jiafeng Electronics. We only need to do one of them. The first option is to give up the high investment in R\u0026D. They will definitely use China's subsidies to engage in unfair competition. The second option , accepting Wall Street's control, there will be Wall Street companies holding the control, which shall not be less than 51%. The third option is to relocate the headquarters to the United States and hand over all production materials for review. We must ensure that they do not Plagiarism and infringement of intellectual property rights.”

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of arrogance. It seemed that this tiny company could only choose one of these three conditions. It had to agree or not.

"I will pass on these three choices, but this must not hinder the policy operation of our three companies. You have no power to govern our domestic companies. We will make our own judgment on whether there is infringement." Flanders said solemnly into the phone: "We It has its own laws and regulations.”

"Dear Mr. Friend, we fully respect you, but patent rights are one of the contents of global assistance. We have found evidence of their infringement, so we need your cooperation."

"What about the evidence?"

"Don't worry, we will provide it."

"when?"

"After checking!"

None of the other think tanks and assistants in the office made a sound. At this moment, they all felt useless, absolutely useless! ! ! !

"Then this call ends here!" After a few polite words, Flanders hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Lu Feng and Ambassador Xu were already waiting in the reception room. Due to their status, Han Guoping and his party did not come in.

A few minutes later, Flanders came over accompanied by a group of people. First he shook hands with Ambassador Xu, and then Ambassador Xu introduced Lu Feng.

"Welcome Mr. Lu to South Africa!" Flanders said, holding Lu Feng's hand.

"Thank you for the welcome."

After the two parties took a group photo, they went to the living room and sat down. Flanders said, "I just finished the call with the United States. I will not hide it from everyone. This matter is not easy to solve. They gave Jiafeng Electronics Three options for the group.”

After Flanders finished talking about the three choices, not only Lu Feng, but also Ambassador Xu's face turned dark. There is no such a bully. Lu Feng sat there with an ugly expression. This time it was really a desperate situation.

"The lesser of two powers, I think handing over the production means and relocating the headquarters may be an option." Flanders suggested; "Otherwise, business activities here may not be able to continue."

"Thank you for your help in this matter. No matter which one of these three choices it is, it is fatal to us." Lu Feng looked at Ambassador Xu and said: "I will go back and think about it. This kind of thing is not right now." It can be decided.”

"We still hope it will be as soon as possible, we are also bearing the pressure!" Flanders urged.
