Reborn in the red age

The summer vacation was coming to an end, and two days before school started, it was time for Hu Jiabao and her two daughters, who had gone abroad for their graduation trip, to return home.

After telling He Guangqin not to disturb him for the next three days, Li Qingfeng drove to the airport and picked up the three of them to take home.

On the way home, Hu Jiabao introduced to Li Qingfeng what he had seen and heard along the way with great emotion, and they talked about the changes in the southern cities of China.

"Qingfeng, you don't know that the Special Economic Zone and the Magic City are really different every day. In terms of development, they have left the North far behind. Even the capital can't compare with the South. Do you still remember Pudong?"

"Of course I remember. Pudong is a land of muddy roads, wastelands and rural wheat fields everywhere. It is completely different from Puxi. There is also a saying that goes, 'I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong.'" Li Qingfeng echoed while driving.

"Yes, yes, Pudong has already started to develop. There are construction sites all around the Oriental Pearl Tower. Yaohan, the first high-end shopping mall introduced in China, is going to open in Pudong. Unfortunately, I heard that it will open at the end of the year. We missed it this time."

"What's the pity? It's just a shopping mall. No matter how high-end it is, it's still a place to sell things. If you want, you can just make a phone call and ask brands like Hermès to send someone to fly to our house to provide door-to-door service."

"Virtue, is this what I mean?"

Hu Jiabao rolled his eyes at Li Qingfeng and turned his head away, not bothering to answer him.

Li Qingfeng shrugged and didn't care. Instead, he turned around and chatted with Chuyi and Shiwu, asking them about their experiences abroad during the summer vacation.

After a long journey during the summer vacation, coupled with the time difference, the two children lay down in the back seat of the car as soon as they got off the plane.

Hearing Li Qingfeng's question, Fifteen, who couldn't even open his eyes, didn't want to answer at all. Chuyi, however, forced himself to open his eyes and complained weakly, "It's not fun. I don't understand what those foreigners say. Besides, the things in the mall are too expensive. I want to bring some gifts for my classmates, but I can't afford them."

"You've been thinking about bringing gifts for your classmates, but you've never thought about buying a gift for your father?" Li Qingfeng joked with a smile.

"I bought it. The one I bought for you is the most expensive one. It cost me a lot of pocket money." As he said that, Chuyi fumbled in his small schoolbag, weakly took out a gift box and handed it to the front.

Curiously, Li Qingfeng took the watch gift box that Chuyi handed over. Before he could open it to check, Hu Jiabao on the co-pilot seat said sourly, "My daughter is really your father's little cotton-padded jacket. The gift for you is one thousand US dollars, and the gift for me is only a fifty-cent hairband."

"You're wrong. How can you measure a child's love by price? Whether it's expensive or not, it's the child's love. We as parents can't be picky about this," Li Qingfeng said in a pretentious manner.

Hu Jiabao snorted coldly: "What kind of thought? Your daughter didn't plan to buy me anything. It was only after I told her that she took a hairband from the gifts she gave to her classmates."

"Mom, no, I bought it because I saw that hairband and thought it was pretty. I thought it would look good on your hair, so I bought it. It's not a gift for a classmate," Chuyi argued weakly from behind.

"Okay, stop quibbling and go to sleep."

"Ok"

Li Qingfeng ignored the argument between the mother and daughter about the gift. He held the steering wheel with one hand and happily opened the watch with the other hand. He took out the basic Longines watch from the box, took off the Breguet watch on his wrist, and replaced it with the basic Longines watch given by his little sister.

Looking at the brand new Longines on his wrist, Qingfeng Li's mouth curled up unconsciously. Although the watch was not expensive and not worthy of his status, it was the first gift his daughter gave him.

Li Qingfeng decided that he would only wear this watch from now on. He would buy a new one on the first day of the new year and then change his watch.

After returning home, I let the two children rest for an hour or two, then woke them up to eat, and started to adjust to the jet lag so that they would not be able to sleep at night.

On the night before school started, at Hu Jiabao's nagging, Li Qingfeng personally went to the school's affiliated middle school with gifts, found the principal who also lived in the staff quarters, had a polite conversation with him, then left the gifts and left.

After the private contact last night, when I sent the first grade student to report to school the next day, he was successfully admitted to the key class of the affiliated middle school with the last score in the sixth grade graduation examination of the affiliated primary school. He was surrounded by top students in the grade, including many talented young people who had won this award or that award.

After talking with his first-grade class teacher, Hu Jiabao left the affiliated high school with a long sigh.

"How come other people's children are so outstanding? In their class in the first grade, there are five or six students who skipped grades. There are also silver medalists in the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad, bronze medals in the Hope Cup, and gold medals in the Spring Festival Cup. I don't expect that I can be as good as them in the first grade, but at least I won't fall too far behind and just keep up with the learning progress."

Hu Jiabao continued worriedly, "Look at those kids. They all look like little prodigies. I'm really worried that the first graders will feel stressed and inferior in such a class."

"puff"

Hearing Hu Jiabao's worry, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What kind of inferiority complex is that? Just look at the shamelessness of that girl in the first grade. Let alone the last place in the exam, even if she is the last, so what? It doesn't affect her good mood every day at all.

Hu Jiabao looked at him coldly with a straight face: "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Do you think what I said is funny?"

“No, I think you.”

Just as Qingfeng Li was about to bring out his old arguments, Hu Jiabao interrupted him coldly, "Don't talk about fate first, luck second, and feng shui, or that you don't need to study hard in the first year of junior high school. What I'm talking about now is the education of children."

"Well, isn't it because they think they skipped a grade and won a prize? Well, I'll organize an international competition for our first graders to participate in. Then I'll do some internal work and get them a gold medal. Aren't international competitions more important than domestic ones?"

"Domestic ones are fine too. Isn't the minimum entry threshold for the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition junior high school? This is easier to handle. I will find a few senior engineers from the company to serve as the guidance teacher team for the first grade of junior high school. Then it will be easy."

Without waiting for Li Qingfeng to finish his words, Hu Jiabao, who was furious, clenched his fist and punched Li Qingfeng's shoulder three times.

After beating Li Qingfeng, Hu Jiabao picked up his bag and took out the car keys from Li Qingfeng's pocket. He walked angrily to the car, opened the door and drove away.

Rubbing his aching shoulder, Li Qingfeng sighed helplessly: "Why are you hitting me? Isn't that how science and innovation competitions are conducted?"

Hu Jiabao drove away Li Qingfeng's car. Li Qingfeng had no means of transportation and could only take a bus on the roadside to go to work at Huaxin.

Taxi drivers in the capital are good at chatting. After knowing that Li Qingfeng was going to Zhongguancun Huaxin Building, they started chatting with Li Qingfeng.

"Dude, a while ago, that magazine called Forbes published the list of the richest people in mainland China in 1994. Did you see it?"

Li Qingfeng, who was sitting in the back seat, nodded in agreement: "How can I not watch it? I have to watch it."

"I think this list is nonsense. Why don't you consider your boss Li Qingfeng as a native of our capital? If you ask me, among the richest people in mainland China, your boss is definitely number one. He can even compete for the title of the richest man in the world."

When the list was released, they specifically sought out Li Qingfeng's name and wanted to add it to the Forbes list, but Li Qingfeng resolutely refused to participate in the Forbes Rich List, so Li Qingfeng was not on the list. Including Lemon Company, which insisted on not going public and did not publish financial reports every year, so its specific wealth status was difficult to accurately assess, and it also did not participate in the world corporate rankings.

Since the reason for non-participation was not made public, the people did not know the specific situation and thought that American companies were disgusting. As a result, this matter made the Chinese people feel very uncomfortable and they did not approve of this list.

The taxi driver held the steering wheel with one hand and gestured with the other, spitting as he continued, "How can the Liu brothers and Mou Qizhong, who are old-fashioned people in China, compare with your boss? How rich is your boss? He is rich enough to rival a country. I heard from my sister-in-law who works in the logistics department of Peking University that your boss earns more than 10 billion US dollars a year. What does that mean? If converted into RMB, it can be piled up into a mountain."

"."

Listening to the taxi driver's boasting, Li Qingfeng wanted to ask, if his annual income was less than 10 billion US dollars, where would he get the rest?

You guys really dare to think that you can earn more than 10 billion US dollars every year.
Which company only counts revenue and not expenses?

From the relationship between Huaxin and Lemon Company, to Lemon Company's international status, to how much money Qingfeng Li had, he never stopped talking.

After taxis entered Zhongguancun, their drivers shifted their focus from how much money Qingfeng Li had to the origin of the name Zhongguancun.

“I don’t understand why the authorities want to set up high-tech companies in Zhongguancun. This place is not a good place.”

"How to say?"

"Zhongguancun, Zhongguancun. The word guan means official. Later it was changed to guan, which means closing a door. In the past, this place was a nursing home and cemetery for eunuchs. How can this be a good place?"

Li Qingfeng didn't think much of the taxi driver's disdain. What kind of people were eunuchs? The emperor's close ministers were chosen by the eunuchs as a place for retirement and burial. How could the feng shui of this place be bad?
The taxi stopped downstairs of the company. After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Li Qingfeng finally felt his ears were quiet.

I'd better try to take this taxi less often in the future, it's too talkative.

"Hello, are you Mr. Li Qingfeng?"

As he walked into the company building and passed by a young man, a voice that sounded a little suppressed and excited rang in Qingfeng Li's ears.

Li Qingfeng stopped and turned to look curiously at the young man who made the voice. Coming out of Huaxin Building, is there anyone who doesn't recognize him?

After glancing at the other person several times, Qingfeng Li felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Since he couldn't remember, he stopped thinking about who the person was. He smiled and nodded, then said, "Hello young man, I'm Li Qingfeng."

Seeing Qingfeng Li nod in acknowledgement, the young man was a little nervous, but introduced himself with a hint of expectation: "Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Lei Bushi, I admired you very much during college, and now I am the general manager of Capital Kingsoft Company. I am very fortunate to meet you today."

After hearing the young man's introduction, Qingfeng Li raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down carefully again. Seeing that the other person's appearance gradually overlapped with the person in his memory, Qingfeng Li showed a slight smile on his face.

As expected of a man holding the script of a cool male protagonist, at that time, Lei Jun was just a young man who had just graduated from college and had entered the society for a few years. At the age of more than 20, he had already become the general manager of a company.

After looking at each other for a few more times, Qingfeng Li took the initiative to extend his hand to Lei Bushi and said with a smile: "Are you OK?"

"."

This way of greeting made Lei Jun unable to react for a while. What kind of novel way of greeting is this? I have never seen it in China, and I have never heard of it abroad?
Although he didn't understand, Lei Jun, who saw his idol, excitedly stretched out his right hand and tightly held Li Qingfeng's hand: "I'm fine, thank you"

"."

This time it was Li Qingfeng who was confused and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After two seconds of silence, Li Qingfeng asked, "I heard you say that you are the general manager of Kingsoft. As far as I know, Kingsoft and Lemon are competitors."

"Teacher Li, you are too kind. Kingsoft is just a small company. How can it be compared with Lemon, let alone compete with Lemon? There is no company in the world that can compete with Lemon in the software field," Lei Jun said flatteringly.

"Haha, that's interesting. If you have nothing to do, let's chat on the sofa over there."

"It's okay, it's okay. I couldn't ask for more because I can sit down and chat with my idol."

Li Qingfeng pursed his lips and asked the front desk on the first floor to bring two cups of tea. The two of them sat down on the sofas in the hall.

"Tell me, why are you here at Huaxin Building today? It seems like there is no cooperation between our two companies."

"It's like this, Mr. Ding Guangqing invited me to visit the domestic branch of Lemon Company."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qingfeng Li understood what was going on.

The overall framework of Lemon Company's domestic headquarters has been completed, and the operation of the domestic headquarters has officially entered the right track. Currently, Ding Guangqing is poaching talents from domestic enterprises on a large scale.

Poaching is an old tradition of the Lemon Group. They have been doing this since the company was first established. When Huaxin was founded, Li Qingfeng brought this skill to its extreme and almost destroyed the domestic semiconductor research institute.

Now that the domestic headquarters is short of staff, Ding Guangqing naturally has to pick up the traditional skills of Lemon Company.

Kingsoft is a company with a certain scale in China, so Lei Jun, who had made great achievements at a young age, naturally appeared on Ding Guangqing's recruitment list.

"He didn't invite you to visit, he wanted to poach you, right?"

"Yes"

"What position was given?"

“Technical Manager”

Li Qingfeng smacked his lips and thought that Lei Jun should go into marketing, as he was a genius in marketing.

Just one line "Are you OK?" can sweep the domestic music scene. Who can compare? (End of this chapter)
