Reborn in the red age

"In military operations, we generally divide combat units into three groups, and each group is divided into three teams."

"During an offensive operation, one group will serve as the vanguard, responsible for quickly breaking through the enemy's front line of defense and opening up a gap for attack. The three teams in this group can adopt different offensive methods."

"Of course, this kind of grouping and tactical thinking is also applicable in game competitions. You can also learn from this model when you are the attacking party in the bidding competition you will participate in next year."

"Since the rules of the game require six people to form a team, we can divide the six people into groups of three. When the three players in the first group attack a specific area, the player responsible for the assault will first throw a flash bomb or a smoke bomb to interfere with the enemy's vision, and then quickly advance."

"The second member of the team should follow the commando and provide fire cover for it. The remaining member can choose to swerve from the other side."

Watching the major in the brown-green Type 87 military uniform explaining tactics on the stage, Li Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction, expressing his approval of Xie Wanmin's work speed. He got all the personnel in place in just two days, which was an unparalleled efficiency.

This is the first e-sports club in the country, which was specially established by Li Qingfeng for next year's Counter-Strike Global Championship.

Unfortunately, since the people in the country were too poor at that time, there were few real players. We could only find some young people who were in their teens and had quick reactions and had just joined the army. We started them from learning basic tactics and computer usage, and strived to become successful quickly by next year and win the top three in the first bidding competition.

"Can the e-sports players we produce bring back the trophy next year?" Wu Simin, who came here to visit, couldn't help but frown and asked at the new recruits who didn't even know how to operate a computer.

Li Qingfeng spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's about the same. This is the condition in China. It's impossible to be the same as abroad. Our people have low incomes, and not many people will buy an expensive graphics card just to play games."

Wu Simin nodded and said nothing more. Although she had not lived in China for many years, she still knew about the situation there.

Electronic products are still luxury goods for Chinese people at that time. E-sports has no soil for development in China for the time being, and there is still a long way to go before it can reach the level of America.

Coming out of the e-sports club, when leaving, Wu Simin seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, teacher, there is something I forgot to tell you."

"what's up?"

"It's like this. When I was in America, I saw a pirated CD smuggled from our country on the market. It was Windows 95 released by our company last year."

Li Qingfeng was shocked: "You mean, someone smuggled pirated discs from China into America?"

"Yes, and not only Windows 95, but also our office software suite, starting point browser, etc. At present, it seems that a Counter-Strike game will also be added."

After listening to what Wu Simin said, Qingfeng Li was speechless. This meant that all the software of Lemon Company was bought out.

There are only a few software products in total, and you pirated them all.

After a moment of silence, Qingfeng Li asked, "How can you be sure that it was smuggled from our country and not pirated and printed in America?"

"It's all in Chinese, and the activation code is also a domestic code, which proves that it was smuggled out of China, and it was shipped on a large scale. In addition, in the United States, pirated CDs from China are not called pirated, but Chinese versions. In the eyes of users, this is cheap genuine software."

After listening to Wu Simin's story, Li Qingfeng leaned against the car window and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache.

Software piracy has always been a big problem, and since it secured a solid market share, Lemon has been cracking down on piracy around the world, except in China.

After nearly a decade of crackdown on piracy, the phenomenon of piracy abroad has finally been curbed to some extent. There are no large-scale pirated factories on the market, only family-style pirated burning workshops.

I didn't expect that there would be trouble right at my doorstep. I didn't crack down on them all this time, just wanting to give them food to eat. I didn't expect that they were eating from the bowl while still eyeing the pot, and even exported pirated products abroad. It is simply unforgivable.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng was silent, Wu Simin could not help but suggest, "Teacher, let's also crack down on piracy in China. Piracy in China is too rampant now. I went to Zhongguancun to take a look these two days after I came back, and there were pirated copies of our software everywhere."

If the piracy rate abroad is only 30 percent, then the piracy rate in China is as high as 99 percent.

Li Qingfeng thought about it, then shook his head and rejected Wu Simin's proposal.

It costs money to crack down on piracy, and it is not a small amount of money. Cracking down on piracy in the country is a thankless task.

There is no way to completely fight piracy in the country now. Let’s not talk about whether the grassroots police will strictly enforce the law. Even if they do, what will happen?
Ordinary people are not afraid of going to jail but are afraid of being poor. As long as they know that they can make money, and a lot of money, by printing pirated goods, they don’t care whether they will go to jail if they are caught.

It is obvious what to choose between doing hard labor and earning a few hundred yuan a month without any risk of breaking the law, and earning tens of thousands a month and being sentenced to three years in prison if caught.

Make the money first, at worst you can just live there for a few years.

Besides, even Li Qingfeng's father, Li Fuqiang, had printed pirated CDs, and now his cousins ​​in his hometown are still doing the pirated CD business, so he really doesn't have the confidence to crack down on piracy on a large scale.

Wu Simin asked in confusion: "Then let them pirate as much as they want?"

"What else?" Qingfeng Li asked in return.

"Forehead"

Wu Simin didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing this, Li Qingfeng smiled and continued, "Tomorrow I will ask Secretary Xie to contact the relevant departments and ask them to crack down on smuggling at the ports and resolutely not allow pirated discs to leave the country."

"is that useful?"

"Let's see if it works first. If it doesn't work, then consider solving the problem of piracy at the source."

"All right"

The car drove slowly towards the Huaxin Building. On the way, Li Qingfeng asked Wu Simin about the internal situation of the headquarters in the past two years.

Li Qingfeng has not shown up at the Hong Kong headquarters for more than a year. If there is something to be done, it will be resolved by fax. If a face-to-face meeting is required, Li Qingfeng will also ask people from the headquarters to fly to the capital to meet. Li Qingfeng really has no idea about the current situation of the headquarters.

The reason why he didn't go to the headquarters was that he had nothing to do, and secondly, the little mixed-blood wanted a child, but Qingfeng Li was unwilling to give it to him.
Listening to Wu Simin's report, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly.

The development of the headquarters seems to be stable in the past two years, but there is serious internal bureaucracy, the rules and regulations and approval procedures are becoming more and more complicated, and coordination between departments has begun to be slow.

There are many factions within the organization, and various factions are fighting openly and secretly.

Fortunately, the supervisory departments have maintained the bottom line and large-scale corruption has not begun to occur.

Li Qingfeng sighed deeply. As the company grew larger, this kind of situation was inevitable. Lemon Company also began to show some common problems of large enterprises.

This kind of thing cannot be solved. It is something that all large companies, whether domestic or foreign, must go through. When the car was about to arrive at the entrance of Huaxin Building, Sun Aidang pressed the brakes to slow down the car, turned his head and said to Li Qingfeng: "Brother, do you see if there is anything wrong at the entrance?"

Li Qingfeng looked in the direction where Sun Aidan's finger pointed, and saw a circle of people gathered downstairs of the company, bustling about and seemingly arguing about something. He frowned and motioned Sun Aidan to drive the car over.

As soon as the car stopped, Li Qingfeng opened the door and walked out. Before he could ask anything, he heard a noisy sound.

What followed was a man's hysterical shouting. The voice sounded slightly familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Pushing through the crowd, when he saw who was shoving and shoving the Huaxin security guard, Li Qingfeng immediately understood what was going on.

The person who came was the first grade English teacher, Huang Haimei’s cheap boyfriend, and the big bootlicker Zhao Xuewu.

When Li Qingfeng saw Zhao Xuewu's figure, he subconsciously wanted to hide. He knew the reason why he appeared here without asking.

If I show up now, how will we meet again in the future?

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Just as Li Qingfeng was about to retreat to the back, the security guard who was struggling with Zhao Xuewu saw Li Qingfeng.

He immediately ignored the entanglement with Zhao Xuewu, stood at attention and shouted loudly: "Hello, Chairman!"

With this shout, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qingfeng. Zhao Xuewu also stopped struggling and stared straight at Li Qingfeng with a look of embarrassment and avoidance.

Having been discovered, Qingfeng Li could no longer hide and could only step forward.

The security guard was afraid that Li Qingfeng would think that they were not doing their job well, so he hurried forward to explain: "Chairman, it was this person who insisted."

"Okay, you don't need to explain, let's go first." Before he could finish, Li Qingfeng waved his hand to interrupt him, and then said to Zhao Xuewu: "Why are you here, Teacher Zhao? Come on, come and sit in my office."

"I won't go. I have something to do at home. Let's talk another day." Zhao Xuewu was about to leave.

"Teacher Zhao, since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Li Qingfeng took a few quick steps and blocked Zhao Xuewu's way, with a bitter smile on his face, "We still have to meet in the future. We have to make things clear today, otherwise it will be even more awkward for us to meet in the future, don't you think?"

Zhao Xuewu paused, he looked up at Li Qingfeng, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes, after a moment, he nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing to Li Qingfeng's proposal.

In order to avoid Zhao Xuewu from being too embarrassed, Li Qingfeng did not deal with the matter personally. Instead, he called He Guangqin over and asked him to talk to Zhao Xuewu, while he and Wu Simin waited for the result in the office.

After He Guangqin left, Wu Simin asked curiously, "Teacher, what happened to that person just now? Why did you call her teacher?"

"Hi, that's my daughter's English teacher. He came to work at the company to help his girlfriend. He must have been dumped by his girlfriend."

"Ah, there is such a thing? Please tell me in detail."

"."

After expressing his admiration for the girl's cheerful personality, Qingfeng Li told Wu Simin the whole story in detail.

After listening to this, Wu Simin asked in confusion, "That's impossible, right? That Huang Haimei came into the company through this teacher, and she dumped him right after she got a permanent job?"

"Nothing is impossible. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Maybe it was Teacher Zhao who forced her to get married." Li Qingfeng said indifferently.

"No, if Huang Haimei is really as you said, she is definitely a smart person. She wouldn't dump someone so quickly. Even if she did, she would make the teacher think that he was wrong."

"Want to bet? One hundred bucks."

"Can"

"Okay, then let's wait for Secretary He to come back."

Half an hour later, He Guangqin led Zhao Xuewu in from outside. Huang Haimei was not there, and no one knew what they talked about.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Zhao wants to thank you, I brought him here."

Zhao Xuewu walked forward with a complicated expression on his face, showing gratitude but also a bit of loneliness.

He lowered his head slightly and said to Li Qingfeng, "Professor Li, Secretary He asked me to meet Hai Mei just now. We talked for a while and I figured out a lot. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to have a frank talk with Hai Mei."

"Teacher Zhao, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything, and there's no need for you to thank me. Let the past be the past. If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know."

Zhao Xuewu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Professor Li, I know that Huang Haimei and I may not be suitable for each other. We have been dating since college, and it is hard to accept that we broke up suddenly after so many years. I am sorry for causing trouble for you and the company by making such a scene today."

"Mr. Zhao, it's good that you can think it through. There are many better women in the world. Why do you have to love only one? You have a good education and a good job. You can find a better one in the future."

After Zhao Xuewu thanked him again, he said goodbye and left. Wu Simin looked at his departing back, curled her lips, and reluctantly took out her wallet from her bag, pulled out two blue hundred-dollar bills, and handed one to each of the two people present.

Li Qingfeng put away the hundred yuan with a smile, looked at He Guangqin who was in a daze with the banknotes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why are you standing there? You got a bargain, put it away quickly, and use the money to have a good meal tonight."

"Ah, this is not good. It's not appropriate to take a hundred yuan from Wu Gaojing (senior manager) for no reason, right?" Although he didn't know what the situation was, he knew that it would be a waste not to take advantage of the opportunity. He Guangqin still took the money with a smile, but he was making excuses like this.

"If you think it's inappropriate, you can buy Simin a cup of milk tea."

"No problem, but milk tea is for little girls. Wu Gaojing probably doesn't like it, right?"

Wu Simin said: "I love to drink"

"Okay, no problem. Wu Gaojing can drink as many cups as he wants. I'll treat you," He Guangqin said proudly, patting his chest.

Wu Simin rolled her eyes at He Guangqin, grabbed the phone from her bag and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Xianzonglin? Please pack up all the milk tea in your store and send it to Huaxin Building."
