Reborn in the red age

Chapter 192 Just got off the plane and encountered a car accident warning

After returning from the airport, Li Qingfeng did not go back to school directly. Instead, he turned the car to Wang Weimin's foreign trade company.

"Weimin, how's your foreign trade company doing lately? Have you delivered your leather goods order?" After Li Qingfeng came in, he briefly asked Wang Weimin about his company's situation.

Wang Weimin quickly opened the filing cabinet and took out a stack of information from it and handed it to Li Qingfeng: "Brother, from the Chinese New Year to now, our OEM business has been good. We have placed a lot of orders from the United States, and we have also placed orders for leather goods." Yes, the other company is very satisfied with us and placed a large order. This is the account book during this period."

Qingfeng Li, who had made a fortune through these small things like OEM orders, was not interested. However, it was Wang Weimin's hard work that made Qingfeng Li take a serious look at it.

The profitability of OEM orders is still good. From the end of the New Year to now, we have delivered four batches of goods in large quantities, with a profit of over one hundred thousand US dollars.

This is why Li Qingfeng asked Wang Weimin not to exploit domestic factories too harshly, otherwise the profits could be doubled at least.

After briefly praising Wang Weimin, Li Qingfeng revealed the real purpose of his visit: "Weimin, that's what it's about. I want you to go to Xiangjiang to inspect the market goods there, and import some small things for sale in the mainland. Are you interested?"

This was what Li Qingfeng had thought about on his way back. If he wanted to increase computer production, it was unrealistic to expect the government to take the lead. He had to rely on his own large investment to quickly increase production.

Now that the authorities have relaxed and you can build assembly factories by yourself, then you can open factories by yourself. If you need land and money, you can build several large factories in one go.

Purchasing several various parts production lines from Japan in the name of Lemon Technology, recruiting technicians in Xiangjiang, and recruiting workers in the special zone, we can quickly complete the self-production of some parts, which can not only increase production capacity, but also greatly reduce our own production costs.

The reason why Wang Weimin asked Wang Weimin to go to Xiangjiang to purchase goods and sell them back was mainly because he wanted to exchange U.S. dollars for Great Unity. He had all U.S. dollars in hand, and Great Unity didn't have much reserves.

The cost of building several large factories in the special zone, from laying the foundation to putting them into operation, is not a small amount. The current domestic bank exchange rate to the U.S. dollar is 1.5 to 1, and the black market exchange rate is 8 to 1. Qingfeng Li is not stupid. , naturally will not choose to exchange currency.

A large amount of U.S. dollars has entered the domestic black market, which is disrupting the domestic financial market. Going directly to the bank to exchange foreign exchange is too costly. Importing goods from Xiangjiang and selling them in the mainland is a reasonable and legal way to exchange foreign exchange. No one can say anything.

"What? Can I go to Xiangjiang?" Wang Weimin said excitedly without reacting when he heard that he was asked to go to Xiangjiang.

"Of course you can. I'll ask the company over in Xiangjiang to send you an invitation letter. You can take the invitation letter to the Special Administrative Region and apply for a pass, and you can freely enter and leave Xiangjiang."

"Okay, okay, I'm willing to go."

Seeing that Wang Weimin was willing to go, Li Qingfeng explained his plan to him in detail and granted him two million US dollars in purchasing funds.

Two million U.S. dollars is a lot. Even if the goods imported from Xiangjiang are sold at the original price at the black market exchange rate, they can get 16 million U.S. dollars.

How many factories and buildings will be built? How much will it cost based on current prices and labor costs? The remaining money after building the house is estimated to be enough to pay 10,000 workers for a year, which is enough for Qingfeng Li to work hard for several years.

When Wang Weimin heard that he had a purchase price of two million US dollars, Wang Weimin's hand holding the tea jar was shaking. It took him a long time to recover, and he slammed the enamel jar on the coffee table, eager to prepare for a big fight.

After discussing everything with Wang Weimin, Li Qingfeng said before leaving: "It should be quite chaotic over there in the Special Economic Zone now. Don't go alone when you go. Bring more people. It's best to bring some self-defense guys to avoid being there." Something happened"

"Manpower is not a problem. We have a lot of people here. I will bring four or five good players who dare to fight and fight with me." After saying this, Wang Weimin paused and looked around carefully to make sure there was no one behind him. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, can you get a pistol for self-defense?"

Considering the current situation in the Special Administrative Region, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and nodded slowly, but still said uneasily: "This is okay, but you have to be careful not to be discovered. Also, keep your gun when you pass the border. In the SAR, do not take it to Xiangjiang.”

"Okay, no problem. I'll pack up and leave the day after tomorrow."

After waiting for Wang Weimin to count the people, Li Qingfeng took the list and called Lemon Technology in Xiangjiang through the phone number of Wang Weimin's office. He told Fang Wanzhen that Wang Weimin was going to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow and asked her to prepare invitation letters for several people. Arrange people to prepare reception at the gate.

After settling the matter of Wang Weimin going to Xiangjiang, Li Qingfeng rode his bicycle back to school.

After returning to the dormitory, Qingfeng Li began to pack his luggage and prepare to attend the Stanford anniversary. It would be fine if they didn't send an invitation letter. It would be inappropriate not to go if he received the invitation letter. After all, it is the world's top prestigious school in the future, and it is still necessary to build good relationships.

Among other things, from 94 to 96, the only window period for the trade embargo against China, Li Qingfeng also planned to purchase internationally advanced technology and equipment through Stanford's relationship. The relationship with Stanford must be well established.

Stanford's anniversary is held in five days. Calculating the time, after returning from attending Stanford's anniversary, it happens to be the day to go to Gusu's Hu's house to propose marriage.

I have asked for too much leave since I started working, and this is the second time I have asked for leave this month. Qingfeng Li walked back and forth in the dean's office, feeling a little embarrassed to go in and ask for leave.

"Teacher Li, stop waiting at the door and come in." Just when Li Qingfeng was struggling, the dean's voice came from the dean's office.

Qingfeng Li scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, pushed the door open and walked in.

The dean pointed to the sofa for Qingfeng Li to sit down, took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Qingfeng Li, and said angrily: "You came here to ask for leave, right?"

"Yes, I received an invitation to Stanford's anniversary. The professor there asked me to go. It would be inappropriate not to go." Qingfeng Li nodded and said awkwardly.

"Well, this is a good opportunity. Foreign countries are ahead of us in the computer field. It can also be helpful to us to communicate with professors there and learn about the latest international developments."

"Then you agree?"

"You don't need the school to provide foreign exchange when you go abroad, why don't I agree?" The dean looked at Qingfeng Li funny, then changed the subject, pretending to be surprised and said: "It happens that our school has a study abroad plan, when will you Leaving? I can be my companion then."

Qingfeng Li: "."

How could such a coincidence happen? It should be when I leave, and when they leave, right?

After some thought, Qingfeng Li decided not to worry about the small amount of money. Who asked him to ask for leave often? It didn't cost much anyway, so he paid for it himself. Looking at the smiling dean, Li Qingfeng sighed inwardly, but he didn't show anything on his face. He said that all the funds for the school's outing were covered by himself.

"Hey, hey, how can that work? How can that work? How can you allow you to fund the inspection privately for a public inspection? This is not appropriate."

"Yes, yes, I didn't think it through well." Hearing the meaning of the dean's words, Li Qingfeng quickly changed his words: "Isn't Lemon Technology going to jointly set up a research center with our school? Our external inspections are also to study international Cutting-edge technology, I think it would be more appropriate for them to sponsor this money.”

"This...this...this...our college has to send people out to inspect each major. There are about ten people in total. Can other companies provide this money?" After pondering for a moment, the dean said in a pretentious manner.

Qingfeng Li patted his chest and said firmly: "I think it's okay. Let's go over and talk about it. I think they can sponsor 40,000 US dollars."

Under the expectant gaze of the dean, Li Qingfeng made a long-distance call on the phone in the dean's office and asked Fang Wanzhen to transfer $40,000 to Peking University's account to sponsor Peking University professors to go abroad to inspect cutting-edge international technologies.

There was no class the next morning, so Qingfeng Li got up early and went to the American Consulate in China to prepare for a visa.

The visa he applied for at that time was a two-year study visa, which expired after returning to China. Qingfeng Li needed to apply for a new visa if he wanted to go to the United States.

Arriving at the American Consulate, Qingfeng Li's lips twitched as he looked at the crowds of people queuing up at the door. How long will this guy wait in line? It's his turn and everyone is off work, right?

Qingfeng Li did not rush to queue, but stood behind and looked for scalpers. No matter what era there are smart people, there are scalpers in department stores. Qingfeng Li did not believe that there was no queue in front of the consulate.

After some searching, I quickly found the scalper who was waiting in line. I spent 50 yuan and was led to the front of the queue, where I changed places with an old man who was waiting in line.

The 50 yuan spent was quite worthwhile. After entering the visa hall 10 minutes later, the consular officer refused the visa very quickly. It took one minute for a person to just ask a few questions and then directly turn the person away.

Five minutes later, Qingfeng Li came to the visa officer. Qingfeng Li handed over his passport, invitation letter from Stanford, certificate of assets from the United States, and certificate of assets from Hong Kong.

After reading the information, the consulate gave Li Qingfeng a surprised look, without asking a single question. After stamping and completing the formalities, the consulate returned all the information to Qingfeng Li: "Welcome to America."

After successfully obtaining the visa, Qingfeng Li did not stay here any longer and turned around to leave the American Consulate.

Before leaving for the United States, Li Qingfeng came to Hu Jiabao's hospital and told her that he was going to the United States to attend the school anniversary and would come back before the marriage proposal at the end of the month.

In the evening, the two returned to the courtyard house in Qianliang Hutong. The next day, Qingfeng Li drove to the airport with Hu Jiabao. After Qingfeng Li got on the plane, the Passat was driven back by Hu Jiabao, who had already passed the driver's license test.

There are direct flights, so not having to transfer can save a lot of time. After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Qingfeng Li successfully arrived at San Francisco Airport.

The little mixed race who arrived in the United States yesterday had been waiting at the airport for a long time. He got into the Cadillac executive sedan borrowed from his alumnus De Yisen and drove steadily to Silicon Valley.

Coming to the United States again, Qingfeng Li, who was used to seeing shabby small houses in China, felt a little dazed as he looked at the luxurious metropolis passing by.

In the back seat of the car, the little hybrid leaning on Qingfeng Li took out Qingfeng Li's itinerary and confirmed tonight's itinerary to Qingfeng Li: "Dear, your schoolmate De Yisen and Microsoft's Gatsby, both Everyone wants to invite you to dinner today, do you need to reply to them?”

"I won't see anyone today. I'll push everything for me. We'll wait until tomorrow's school anniversary. I'm going to get off the jet lag tonight and have a good rest." Qingfeng Li said calmly as he looked away from the car.

The little mixed-blood nodded and took back the itinerary: "Okay, I understand. Then I will go back tonight and inform them to make another appointment another day."

"Just inform Gatsby. That schoolmate of mine will definitely attend the school anniversary tomorrow. Let's talk at the school anniversary tomorrow."

There was no bed for Qingfeng Li to rest on the Air China plane. Qingfeng Li was very tired after getting off the plane. He asked the little mixed-blood not to disturb him. Qingfeng Li closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

After sleeping for a while in the back seat, Qingfeng Li was awakened by the piercing sound of the horn. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pickup truck crashing into the car he was riding in from the front.

Qingfeng Li's pupils shrank sharply, and before his body had time to react, the car from the opposite side had already hit him.

Feeling a violent impact, Qingfeng Li's head hit the passenger seat so hard that his body, which was not wearing a seat belt, almost flew out.

The little mixed-blood next to him didn't fare much better. He hit something on his forehead, creating a small hole and bleeding a lot, not to mention the driver.

Fortunately, both cars were not very fast, and the Cadillac was of good quality, so nothing serious happened to the three of them.

The driver covered the wound on his forehead, cursed and pushed the door open to get out of the car, ready to argue with the driver who deliberately hit him.

As soon as the driver got out of the car, the pickup truck that hit him from the opposite side was rolled down. A black gun muzzle protruded from the car. He emptied the magazine at the driver's feet and threw a piece of paper out of the car. , the pickup truck reversed and drove away.

After the pickup truck drove away, the frightened driver suddenly collapsed to the ground. It took him a long time to regain his senses, crawled up from the ground, and tremblingly picked up the piece of paper on the ground.

"Boss, we just encountered a premeditated attack. This is the message left by the other party." The driver quickly got into the car and handed the paper thrown from the pickup truck to Qingfeng Li behind.

After making sure that the surrounding area was safe, Qingfeng Li calmly put the pistol back into space and patted the little hybrid on top of him. Qingfeng Li straightened up from the back seat of the car and took the piece of paper from the driver's hand with a dark face.

There are several English words printed on the paper, and what is written on them is:

"Welcome to USA"
