Reborn in the red age

Chapter 186 Microsoft becomes the agent of Lemon Technology!

Under Dean Qian's rational and emotional persuasion, Li Qingfeng agreed to establish a research institute with the Department of Computer Science.

After getting the desired results, Dean Qian took the initiative to contact the school to help coordinate the establishment of the research institute.

The professors majoring in electronics had no objection to the establishment of a research institute and raised their hands to welcome Qingfeng Li who offered money.

After the school's problem was resolved, Li Qingfeng made a call to Xiangjiang and asked the company's general manager Fang Wanzhen to bring the company's legal affairs to Sijiucheng and sit down with the Peking University administration to regulate the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, as well as intellectual property issues.

After negotiations between the two parties, the office space and infrastructure of the two institutes were provided by Peking University, and the laboratory equipment was funded by Lemon Technology.

Both parties jointly dispatched scientific researchers to conduct experimental research. The research results are still the same as before. They are shared by both parties. Peking University enjoys profit sharing, but Peking University cannot use it for commercial purposes.

After the contract was signed, Li Qingfeng entertained Lemon Technology and his team to eat hotpot mutton at Donglaishun in the evening.

In the evening, in the conference room of the Friendship Hotel in Sijiucheng, Li Qingfeng and Fang Wanzhen discussed the development of the company during this period.

"Director Li, in the month since you left, the company's computer business has been developing well. Our products have gained a firm foothold in Xiangjiang and Baodao. The markets in Bangkok and Japan are also being steadily developed. Agents in Southeast Asia It has also been negotiated, and it is expected that our products will be launched in the Southeast Asian market in March this year." Fang Wanzhen took out the information prepared in advance and reported the company's recent development to Li Qingfeng one by one.

Looking at the company's recent sales data, Li Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the big money-spending plan was still very useful. The people in the company's sales department worked hard. In just over two months, they were able to achieve This point.

Putting down the sales data of computers, Li Qingfeng asked about the sales situation of software: "How is the software side? Didn't some European and American companies contact us? How are the talks going?"

"Our software has great advantages. During the Spring Festival, we have signed agency authorization contracts with European and American agents. The software has been launched in the European and American markets at the beginning of the month. Director Li went to Europe and the United States a few days ago to inspect the sales of the software. Based on the feedback, the office Software sales in Europe and the United States are booming.”

Qingfeng Li nodded and asked casually: "I understand, which company in the United States got our agency rights?"

"There are currently two, one is your Stanford alumnus De Yisen, and the other is IBM's operating system partner Microsoft. Their boss Gatsby came to Xiangjiang in person to sign a contract with us. He was very impressed with our two Excellent office software”

"Who? Gates?"

When he heard that Microsoft had represented his Excel and Word products, Qingfeng Li spat out the sip of tea he had just drank. He looked very strange. What the hell was going on? He plagiarized the software that Microsoft would release in the future, and was actually sold by Microsoft. I was sent back to the agent again, which is really amazing.

Qingfeng Li really didn't care much about Microsoft's agency for his office software, and he wasn't afraid of what small tricks he might do behind his back.

Lemon Technology is not IBM. It exposes personal computers to the world so that everyone can produce them.

Both of my own software have applied for patents. As long as Microsoft doesn't copy them, it's up to him. Anyway, I'm not the only one making office software. Relying on the experience of later generations, in the software field, Qingfeng Li is unrivaled.

Seeing Qingfeng Li choking on the water, Fang Wanzhen quickly took out the tissue provided by the Friendship Hotel to help wipe it.

Qingfeng Li waved his hand, took the toilet paper from Fang Wanzhen, and wiped the water stains on his body.

After Qingfeng Li finished sorting it out, Fang Wanzhen asked tentatively: "Director Li, are you dissatisfied with anything about Microsoft?"

"Nothing, nothing, it's just that I didn't expect that Microsoft was the agent for our software. Gates and I know each other, and we have a good relationship. We worked together for a while, and I sold their DOS system to Microsoft." Qingfeng Li He opened his mouth to explain.

Fang Wanzhen nodded clearly: "Oh, that's right. I really didn't know you had such a relationship, and Director Li never mentioned it in the company."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If he acts as an agent, he will act as an agent. It's no big deal."

At this point, Qingfeng Li changed the topic and asked Fang Wanzhen to put the institute's affairs as a priority after returning to Xiangjiang, recruit technicians who are willing to work in the mainland, and procure research equipment as soon as possible and smuggle it to the mainland. Qingfeng Li A Lemon Technology R&D center will be established in Sijiucheng.

Naturally, Fang Wanzhen would not refuse the boss's order. She nodded and said that she would make arrangements immediately after returning.

There were classes tomorrow morning. After discussing the company's affairs with Fang Wanzhen, Qingfeng Li did not stay at the Friendship Hotel longer and drove the Passat back to school.

"Teacher Li, good morning"

"Good morning to you, classmate"

Since his remarks in class last time, Qingfeng Li is now the most popular teacher in the school. Every time he walks on campus, students will take the initiative to say hello to Qingfeng Li.

When I came to the classroom, I saw that the ladder classroom, which could accommodate 150 people, was packed with students who came to attend classes. Many students were sitting on the steps.

At the end of the class, the students all gathered around and asked if they had any knowledge of the professional courses. They all came to discuss with Qingfeng Li how to improve themselves.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd of students, several students from the Chinese Department chased Qingfeng Li's office, wanting to discuss with Qingfeng Li how to strengthen the country.

Regarding this situation, Li Qingfeng only felt a deep headache. He really underestimated the enthusiasm of the students. Now he regrets why he said such words in class.

Seeing that he could no longer stay in school, Li Qingfeng, who had no classes in the afternoon, simply went to Wang Weimin's place to chat with Chen Defa. He hadn't talked to him since he came to the capital on a scam.

After making a phone call to Wang Weimin and confirming that he was at the old maintenance point, Qingfeng Li drove the Passat to the maintenance point to have a look.

Parked the car at the entrance of the old maintenance station. The previous maintenance station has now changed its brand, and the signboard "Ocean International Trading Company" is hung at the door. Through the wide open door, you can see that the men and women in the yard are all wearing suits.

After taking a look at the people inside who were wearing coats, suits and leather shoes, and then looking at the large gray cotton-padded jacket wrapped around him, Qingfeng Li only had one feeling in his heart: This is bad, he has become a country bumpkin.

Walking into the courtyard, people in the courtyard took the initiative to say hello after seeing Qingfeng Li, and Qingfeng Li smiled and nodded in response.

When we came to the main room, the main room had changed a lot. Wang Weimin had removed the fire kang, renovated the room, and hung the ceiling. Now the main room looks like an office.

Wang Weimin had his hair slicked back and was wearing a suit, sitting behind an imposing desk. Facing the Lemon PC given to him by Qingfeng Li, he was typing on the keyboard with fingerpicking to record something. “Brother, you’re here, sit down quickly, I’ll give you some water.” Seeing Qingfeng Li coming, Wang Weimin quickly stood up from his chair and warmly greeted Qingfeng Li to sit down.

Without rushing to sit down, Li Qingfeng went around behind the desk, looked at the monitor, and found that Wang Weimin was making a spreadsheet in Excel.

Li Qingfeng sat on the boss's chair, patted Wang Weimin who was holding a thermos bottle to pour water, and praised with a smile: "Okay, you can actually type on a computer now. Not bad, good, good progress."

"Hey, isn't it necessary to keep pace with the times? It can't always be used for playing games. There is an old saying that says, after three days of separation, treat each other with admiration. I am no longer the Wu Xia Amen." Wang Weimin scratched his head Scratching his head, he said sheepishly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and call Chen Defa. I've tricked him here. I haven't talked to him yet."

"Brother, no one is here right now. I went out to study new business. I won't be back until this afternoon."

When he heard that he was developing a new business, Li Qingfeng asked curiously: "New business? You said it was a foreign trade company, but in fact it is just a job of uploading and distributing goods. What kind of business development can be done?"

"Brother, you are looking down on me. In addition to taking orders from the United States, our company is also currently thinking about exporting domestic belts abroad," Wang Weimin said proudly.

"Belt OEM? What's going on?"

"Hey, last time the foreigner came over for inspection and introduced us to an OEM business for belts and leather bags. This time we don't need to use materials for processing. All the raw materials are purchased domestically, and the work and materials are contracted. They just put their brand and the price is very good. high"

"The foreigner asked you how many benefits you wanted?"

"Brother, you are so amazing. I can't hide anything from you. He said that after the matter is completed, he will ask for a favor fee of 10,000 US dollars, and I agreed."

Li Qingfeng nodded and asked Wang Weimin to get the information from there and prepare to send the company's information to the United States. The small foreign trade company in the United States will investigate it and sign an OEM contract if there is no problem.

Since he was not here, Li Qingfeng did not stay here for long and drove Wang Weimin to the computer assembly factory in the suburbs. Fang Wanzhen and the others were inspecting the assembly factory today and would not return to Xiangjiang tomorrow.

That computer assembly factory was still very important to the current Lemon Technology, and Qingfeng Li felt that he needed to follow it to see what was going on there.

When we arrived at the assembly plant, the security guard at the door didn't even stop him, and drove the Passat smoothly into the interior of the assembly plant.

Qingfeng Li came once when the factory was just completed, but he hasn't been here since. This was also the second time Qingfeng Li came. According to his memory, he drove the car to the factory office building. Qingfeng Li parked the car casually in an open space. , open the door and get out of the car, ready to walk around.

"Brother, this is the computer assembly factory. This office building is really grand." Wang Weimin got out of the car and looked at the internal environment of the factory curiously.

Glancing at the imposing six-story office building, Qingfeng Li curled his lips and couldn't understand why an assembly factory without any technical content had so many leaders.

When Li Qingfeng came here last time, he was shocked when he saw the scale of leadership. There was a section chief, four deputy section chiefs, and a lot of formal and temporary clerks in one department.

Almost all the offices in the six-story office building are occupied. It is difficult to find a few free offices. The factory leaders are so busy that there are almost too many workers.

Instead of rushing to find Fang Wanzhen and the others, Li Qingfeng took Wang Weimin and went straight to the assembly workshop.

It was working time at this time. When the two came to the workshop, the assembly workers were working in full swing.

The country really attaches great importance to this assembly factory. The workers are all very young. If you look at it, there are no workers under the age of thirty. They are all excellent employees transferred from other factories.

Because Wang Weimin was wearing a suit, the workers thought that Li Qingfeng and the others were from the Xiangjiang inspection team today, and no one stopped them when they entered the workshop.

Li Qingfeng came behind an old worker and watched him skillfully assemble various accessories in the chassis. His technique was very professional, and every screw was carefully inspected.

While the other party was finishing assembling a host, Li Qingfeng smiled and handed him a cigarette, trying to get close to him: "Comrade, don't be in a hurry to assemble the next machine, come and have a cigarette and take a rest."

"No smoking, no smoking. There are regulations in the factory. This thing is expensive and you can't smoke in the workshop." Facing Li Qingfeng, the worker was very cautious and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Qingfeng Li continued to persuade: "Oh, I'm not a Hong Kong businessman, so I don't need to be so careful."

The worker took a look at Wang Weimin, who was in a suit. He didn't believe what Li Qingfeng said. He smiled honestly and waved his hands: "Comrade, you really can't smoke. We really have regulations in the factory."

Noticing the workers' gaze, Li Qingfeng smiled, patted Wang Weimin on the arm, and asked him to say a few words.

When Wang Weimin's authentic Beijing movie came out, the worker looked at the two of them up and down in surprise, and asked doubtfully: "Are you really not a Hong Kong businessman?"

"If it's true, I'm a teacher at Peking University. This machine was jointly developed by our school and a Hong Kong businessman. We are following the Hong Kong businessman to take a look today." As he said this, Qingfeng Li took out his work permit and handed it to The other party: 'Look, this is my work permit. I'm not lying to you, am I?' ’

The worker took a careful look at Qingfeng Li's work permit, and after confirming that Qingfeng Li was not a Hong Kong businessman, he stopped holding it. He took the cigarette that Qingfeng Li handed him again, lit it, and started smoking in the workshop.

The three of them had a cigarette each, and they started smoking unscrupulously in the workshop. Li Qingfeng said to the workers: "Comrade, how is the output of our factory now? How many units can we assemble every month?"

"That's quite a lot. The Hong Kong businessmen are rushing to transport a large amount of imported parts to the factory. Our factory now works three shifts a day, 24 hours a day. There is no holiday during the Chinese New Year. Last month We have assembled 20,000 consoles. I heard that Hong Kong companies are going to increase orders again, so the workload this month has increased a lot."

After chatting for a while, Li Qingfeng estimated that time was almost up and asked his real intention: "Comrade, this computer is so rare, can you use it?"

"I am a small worker who only knows how to assemble it. Only the leaders can use this thing. I heard that several leaders took the machine home to play games."
