Reborn in the red age

Chapter 223 Want to invest in shares? Okay, go and get IBM to solve it for me.

At first glance, this well-dressed middle-aged man was coming for him. Qingfeng Li and others did not rush to get in the car, but stood there waiting for him to come.

"Chairman, this is Li Guodong, the fourth generation of the four major families. He is not the son of the first wife." After seeing the person's face clearly, the sales manager Liu Yuanwen stepped forward and whispered the person's identity in Qingfeng Li's ear. .

After knowing the identity of the visitor, Li Qingfeng nodded indifferently, feeling a little contempt for this family that made its fortune by selling opium.

As for the four major families, Li Qingfeng still knew something about it. People in Xiangjiang liked this tune and would always select the four major kings, the four major families, the four major talents and the like.

Different from the new four major families known to everyone in later generations, the four major families at this time were still the four oldest families: He, Li, Li, and Zhou.

In addition to these four major families, there are quite a few families who have been eyeing the position of the fourth one and want to take his place at any time. Even though Xiangjiang is not a big place, there are really many different families.

In addition to local family consortiums, there are also a large number of British-funded consortiums that monopolize all important industries in the city. Various forces are entangled in the city of Xiangjiang, frantically absorbing nutrients and strengthening themselves.

"Hello, Chairman Li, I am Li Guodong, nice to meet you." Li Guodong walked up to Qingfeng Li, stretched out his right hand, and said in English with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Even if you know in your heart what he wants to do when he comes to you, you still have to give him the face he deserves before the negotiation breaks down.

Li Qingfeng held Li Guodong's right hand and said in English with a smile: "Hello Mr. Li, I am also very happy to see you."

"I've wanted to get to know you, my family, for a long time, but you haven't been in Xiangjiang all this time. Chairman Li, you won't be angry for this sudden interruption, right?"

"Why don't you belong to the same family? You are the 4th generation descendant of the Li family in Xiangjiang. It is a truly famous family. I am just a humble boy. I don't dare to climb up to the famous family in Xiangjiang."

The two of them went back and forth like this, chatting at the entrance of Haicheng Nightclub for about ten minutes, but never got to the main topic.

"Director Li, are you free tomorrow? Can you be a guest at home?" Li Guodong, who felt that he was almost done with testing, invited Qingfeng Li to be a guest at home tomorrow.

The time for my visit to Xiangjiang this time was tight, so how could I have time to talk to him? Qingfeng Li declined without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I won't stay in Xiangjiang for a long time this time. How about visiting him as a guest?" Better next time”

They are all adults who have been mixed up in society, so they naturally know what rejection means. A look of displeasure flashed across Li Guodong's face, and his tone was no longer as kind as before: "Director Li, you are not from Xiangjiang. There are some rules in Xiangjiang shopping malls. You may not be very clear about it, but as a member of the family, in order to prevent you from suffering in the future, I feel that I have an obligation to give you a heads up."

"Please enlighten me." Li Qingfeng raised his hand, signaling for him to speak.

"Director Li, look at the companies in Xiangjiang. If you look at any company of any scale, there are several consortiums standing behind it. Even though Xiangjiang is not a big place, the water inside is very deep. If you want to do business in Xiangjiang, you can't go it alone. , Enterprises that live alone cannot survive in Hong Kong.”

"Increasing some background, absorbing some external funds, and appropriately selling some shares will be beneficial to the future development of you and your company." At this point, Li Guodong paused, glanced at the expressionless Qingfeng Li, and continued said:

"You will get something if you give up. It seems that you have lost some shares of the company, but the company can develop better and clear many obstacles for you, Director Li. As long as most of the shares are still in the hands of Director Li, you will definitely get more than I have lost a lot, Director Li, can you understand what I mean?"

Threats, naked threats, very consistent with the style of local snakes.

Anyway, it's okay now. It's not easy for such a stupid second generation ancestor to pop out. It's okay to play with him.

When Li Guodong finished speaking, Li Qingfeng nodded deeply, expressing his agreement with this statement.

Seeing Qingfeng Li nodding, Li Guodong thought he had persuaded Qingfeng Li. He smiled confidently and continued: "Director Li, our Li family is very interested in Lemon Company. I wonder if we will accept the investment from our Li family? What if our Li family If the shareholding is successful, the bank under the Li family can provide Lemon Company with a large amount of low-interest loan."

"Mr. Li, our company's financial situation is good. The most important thing is money." Li Qingfeng waved his hand and said with a half-smile: "Just now you said you could clear the obstacles for us. It just so happens that our company has two urgent matters that need to be solved. , if the Li family can help solve the problem, I can transfer 20% of the company shares to the Li family for free."

When Li Guodong heard that there was such a good thing, he agreed without thinking, with a proud expression on his face: "Don't say two things, I'm not bragging to you. With the power of our Li family, even if it's eight out of ten, Nothing is a problem”

Generally speaking, as long as the words "I'm not bragging to you" appear in the words, it means that the other party is bragging. Facing the other party's proud expression, Qingfeng Li smiled and did not refute. He held out a finger and said, "First thing, we are a computer company and we are in urgent need of technology in the semiconductor field. We are in urgent need of technology from Toshiba or Intel." advanced technology"

While Li Guodong looked like he had eaten shit, Qingfeng Li stretched out a second finger: "The second thing is that our company has a little feud with IBM. The other party launched a crazy revenge on our company politically in the United States. , currently in a stalemate in the United States, we need your Li family to solve IBM."

"Okay, as long as the Li family can help resolve these two matters, I can immediately transfer you 20% of the Li family's shares."

After talking about the two things, Li Qingfeng looked at Li Guodong with a smile, waiting to see how he would answer.

It's not that Qingfeng Li looks down on the current four major families. The four of them are far behind their successors. After leaving Xiangjiang, their international influence is not even as high as that of Lemon Technology, which was founded less than two years ago.

Maybe they have some influence in Southeast Asia. Whether it is IBM or Toshiba, even Intel, which is still relatively weak, will not pay attention to them.

It is completely impossible to solve the two issues raised by Qingfeng Li.

Li Guodong's face was very ugly. He looked at Qingfeng Li who was smiling but not smiling. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Director Li, you are making a big joke."

"Really? Didn't you joke with me first?" Li Qingfeng also put away his smile and said coldly and expressionlessly.

As a local snake, the fourth generation of a wealthy family is mainly about being lawless. At the entrance of Haicheng Nightclub, a place where people come and go, he threatened Li Qingfeng in public: "Okay, okay, in this place in Xiangjiang, you dare to play tricks on our Li family. Do you believe that I will prevent your company from opening in Hong Kong?"

"Will my company not be able to open? Mr. Li, you take yourself too seriously. You are not qualified to threaten me, and you cannot represent the Li family. Before threatening me, you should go back and ask your elders in the family to see if they can What do you mean?" Li Qingfeng sneered at the harsh words of Li Guodong, the fourth generation of a wealthy family, and spoke with disdain.

The concubinage system was abolished in Xiangjiang in 71. This led to a characteristic of the families in Xiangjiang, that is, they have a large population and are truly big families.

Which of the third-generation descendants of the Li family doesn’t have several aunts and wives? There are even more descendants in the fourth generation. Except for the children of the main wife or the capable children, the rest have no say at all in the family. They receive a monthly sum of money and can just live and die in this life.

What Qingfeng Li said just now has already saved face for the Li family. Let alone a fourth-generation bastard raised by a daughter-in-law, even if the second generation of their Li family came, they would not be able to threaten Qingfeng Li.

The Li family's biggest industry is currently a bank. This bank is doing well and is one of the best among the dozens of small and medium-sized banks in Hong Kong. However, it does not pose a threat to Qingfeng Li.

Other industries are those selling milk, rice, groceries, and real estate, which are even more incomparable to the industry that Lemon Technology is in.

Lemon Technology is a high-tech enterprise. It is engaged in the research and development of software and hardware. All its products are OEM, and all its revenue is overseas. It does not even have its own factory locally. What threat does it have?

In the past, gangsters could be arranged to smash and kidnap companies.

But times have changed a long time ago. It’s not like the lawless days of the 1960s and 1970s. The lame tycoons are still using sewing machines inside. For a global enterprise like Lemon Company, why don’t you arrange for a gangster to try smashing one inside? The British Hong Kong authorities cannot kill you.

Being ridiculed openly by Qingfeng Li in public, especially the statement that he could not represent the Li family, stepped on Li Guodong's sore spot. The eldest young master's temper suddenly rose. In anger, he ordered his bodyguards to go up and teach Qingfeng Li a lesson.

Qingfeng Li and his party are also accompanied by bodyguards for tonight's trip. Since the negotiation between the two parties just broke down, the bodyguards have been prepared.

The moment the opponent made a move, several bodyguards from Lemon Company immediately stepped forward and took control of the opponent.

Looking at the impulsive and irritable Li Guodong, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but shook his head. His mother-in-law is his mother-in-law, and he doesn't have the bearing of a child of a big family in his cultivation.

When he was about to get in the car, Li Qingfeng listened to the incompetent Li Guodong barking insults. He felt that it was not very pleasant to his ears, so he asked several bodyguards in the company: "Master Li's throat will be hurt by shouting like this. You guys can help Master Li take care of his throat."

Several bodyguards were not vague at all. With a strong hand, they tore off a piece of cloth from Li Guodong's clothes, rubbed it and stuffed it into Li Guodong's mouth, and the world suddenly became quiet.

Smiling at Li Guodong, who was glaring at him, Li Qingfeng got into the Mercedes-Benz W126 and the motorcade drove away.
