Chapter 1316 The reason for not attending!
Hearing Shuang Yeye's question, Gao Xiaofeng frowned. He couldn't very well say directly that Chairman Lu didn't want to get involved.
If that's really the case, the next day all sorts of speculations about why Lu Feng didn't show up will make headlines.
After thinking about it, he decided to find an excuse:
"Well, fellow journalists, there's a reason why our company's chairman isn't attending this event!"
"As everyone knows, our chairman has more than just Huayu Group; he owns many other businesses as well!"
"The advent of the artificial heart is a major event for Huayu Group, but it's just a minor matter to the chairman, which is why he didn't attend the event!"
Upon hearing this, the reporters were once again at a loss for words, overwhelmed by Huayu Group's extravagant spending.
Is this something a human would say?
Such a significant project as an artificial heart was considered a trivial matter by some, who were even unwilling to dedicate time to it.
This is a technological product that can change the fate of countless people.
If it were any other medical group, they would probably start preparing three years in advance, and by the time the technology is truly perfected, they would be eager to announce it to the whole world.
But when it came to Huayu, the chairman didn't even bother to attend.
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
Seeing that everyone had been successfully fooled by him, Gao Xiaofeng secretly gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.
Actually, the reason why Lu Feng was unwilling to participate in such activities was quite simple: he didn't want to become too famous.
There's a saying: "People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat."
While frequent public appearances may bring some traffic to a businessman's business, the disadvantages ultimately outweigh the advantages.
This would tie an individual's every action to the group.
If something happens to this person, especially negative news, he will drag the entire company down with him.
For example, when people mention Tengfei now, the first thing that comes to mind is its leader, Ma Fei.
In this situation, if Ma Fei were to be involved in any negative news, it would be a devastating blow to Tengfei.
Because he realized this, Ma Fei has rarely appeared in the public eye in recent years. Why? It's to reduce his relationship with Teng Fei and avoid giving anyone with ulterior motives any dirt on him.
Ma Tian, Ren Zhongguo, and others made the same choice. The founders of these groups are now semi-behind the scenes, handing over the management of their companies to others.
For example, Ma Tian, now Feng Tianxiang manages most of the big and small affairs of Alibaba 99, especially when it comes to going to various public places, Ma Tian will push away as much as possible.
Lu Feng needs to do the same now.
In the past, before he had fully developed his career, he had to do everything himself. Because he was not a big player, even though he appeared frequently, the public would not notice him.
But things are different now. The Lu Group, Fengyuan Group, and other major corporations under his control have become leaders in their respective fields and can even stir up trouble on the international stage.
At this point, he could no longer appear in public so frequently.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will cause huge losses to many companies.
It's fine to have the heads of major corporations attend such events. After all, even if something happens to them, it only affects a single corporation. And if things really come to that, Chairman Lu Feng can step in to quell the situation.
Time passed by second by second, and soon two hours had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Many reporters, who had been full of enthusiasm, also became somewhat tired.
They pointed numerous cameras at the entrance to the operating room, while they went to rest on the side.
Only Gao Xiaofeng remained standing not far from the operating room, silently praying for his wife.
Meanwhile, although Lu Feng did not appear on the scene directly, he was watching everything through surveillance cameras in the hospital's administrative building, with Su Jinrou standing next to him.
"Little brother, I really admire you so much! You've even managed to create an artificial heart. I feel like you might even be able to create all the internal organs in the future. At that time, there might not be any patients in the world!"
Su Jinrou looked at the man in front of her with some admiration. Although she was a few years older than Lu Feng, she had already been conquered by this man. Things that seemed impossible to outsiders were as simple as playing house for him.
Hearing this, Lu Feng, who was intently observing the surveillance footage, chuckled and turned around.
"Sis, don't praise me like that. It makes me sound like I'm amazing. But actually, I didn't create either the artificial heart or the cancer-fighting drug. These are all thanks to the researchers!"
Lu Feng was very modest and did not take credit for himself.
Seeing his humble demeanor, Su Jinrou became even more satisfied, and even felt a touch of envy towards Shen Suyuan.
“You’re too modest. Yes, these technologies were developed by researchers, but if you hadn’t given them the opportunity and a platform to showcase their abilities, how could they have invented these world-shaking things?”
Su Jinrou stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
As a member of a prestigious family, she was not just a pretty face who knew nothing.
The researchers were able to come up with such an incredible thing entirely thanks to Lu Feng's strong support.
If these people hadn't joined Lu Feng's organization, but instead gone to the Intermediate People's Court or some other place, they might still be figuring out how to curry favor with their superiors to secure research funding.
The saying "Even a hero can be brought down by a penny" is most apt for researchers.
Even if you are a genius, one in a million, and can develop all sorts of groundbreaking technological products, it's all for naught without a stable research site, high-tech equipment, and inexhaustible research funding.
Therefore, in Su Jinrou's view, the emergence of these amazing products is all thanks to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng simply smiled at her words, offering no explanation, and instead steered the conversation to other topics:
"Sister, have you received the share of Huayu Group's profits that belong to the Su family on time recently?"
"It's been given. Mr. Gao gives it quarterly, very promptly, and the amount is correct!"
Su Jinrou nodded slightly:
"Speaking of which, little brother, I really have to thank you for giving the Su family such a precious gift!"
She couldn't contain her excitement when the topic turned to the profits the Su family received from Huayu Group.
In all her life, she had never seen a company with such terrifying money-making ability.
