Reborn in the red age

Chapter 252 You are the eldest brother now, but you cannot always be the eldest brother

After the Ministry of Foreign Trade received the call from Xiangjiang, everyone in the ministry was confused as to what was going on.

Let’s not talk about the two defectors. This situation is very common. In which department has this situation not happened? I have long been used to it.

Why did Li Qingfeng kick someone out just because of a letter of introduction? Didn't it mean that Wu Ziren and Qingfeng Li had dealt with each other and knew each other?
Considering that something was wrong, the Ministry of Foreign Trade launched an investigation into the matter between Wu Ziren and Li Qingfeng.

When they learned about the acquaintance of Wu Ziren and Li Qingfeng, the faces of the people in the Ministry of Foreign Trade were not very good. This was a major negligence. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to send an enemy there to do investigation work.

However, everyone had passed away, and it was too late to say anything now. Since we could not call people back again, we could only quickly make up a letter of introduction and ask the person who was going to Hong Kong on business to send it along with the foreign exchange.

But on the phone, he asked Wu Ziren to suspend his work and ask comrades from the Xiangjiang office to work with Hao Shiping to persuade Li Qingfeng.

When the Ministry of Foreign Trade asked someone to send a letter of introduction to Xiangjiang, the news that Lemon Company was negotiating with IBM to sell its PC business also spread. After all, there is no airtight wall in the world, and commercial spies are everywhere.

Among them, American companies, including Compaq and AST, were very interested in the sales channels that Lemon Company had established. They also contacted Lemon Company and expressed their interest in purchasing the PC Division.

Regarding this matter, Li Qingfeng said that he would not refuse anyone who came. No matter whether he sold to them or not, he would talk about it first. This way, he could also increase the price of his business, which might lead to tens of millions more dollars in sales.

Looking at Leon who came and left in secret, a sneer flashed across Qingfeng Li's face. Now you guys who do hardware are the eldest brother, but you can't always be the eldest brother.

The purpose of the cooperation between the two parties was achieved, and Intel did not hide it. It took out some information about the 386 chip in the laboratory and shared it with Lemon Company.

Just wait for me. One day, you Intel will be called the father of labor and management.

"That's the truth, Mayor Li Dong"

Qingfeng Li was very interested in the in-depth cooperation proposed by Intel and said, "More in-depth cooperation? What is the specific method of cooperation?"

Anyway, apart from dealing with the investigation team from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, I have nothing else to do in the past two days. Since the people from Intel want to see me, let's meet them.

"Your truth hurts a little"

After everything was settled, Li Qingfeng curiously asked Leon: "As far as I know, Intel has been happily cooperating with Microsoft, hasn't it? Microsoft is also making operating systems, so why did they abandon Microsoft and find our company?" Xiangjiang Company?"

Under Fang Wanzhen's arrangement, Li Qingfeng secretly met Intel's Vice President Leon in an inconspicuous hotel in Hong Kong.

Faced with the in-depth cooperation proposed by Intel, Li Qingfeng naturally would not refuse. He would not suffer any loss anyway, so he immediately agreed, saying that both parties would make joint progress in the future. Lemon Company's future system upgrades would definitely use Intel's X86 architecture.

After seeing Leon off, Hao Shiping and the staff from the Xiangjiang office, who had received the letter of introduction, took the office's vehicle and came to Lemon Technology again.

What was surprising was that Intel secretly sent the company's vice president to Xiangjiang, wanting to meet Li Qingfeng.

"That's no problem. We at Intel want to form an alliance with Lemon Technology. Our two companies will work closely together in the PC industry to jointly promote the development of the PC industry."

"If IBM still uses MS-DOS, then we at Intel will still be Microsoft's staunch partner," Leon shrugged and said nonchalantly.

The 'Wintel' alliance formulated a series of technical specifications during the cooperation, forming the de facto standard for the PC industry, and thus formed a "duopoly" pattern in global personal PC systems.

"Yes, this is the prerequisite for cooperation between our company and IBM"

One of the two companies controls the chip, and the other controls the system. The two companies cooperate closely and coordinate updates to dominate 90% of the world's PC market.

At this moment, Qingfeng Li suddenly understood. Isn't this the famous 'Wintel' alliance in later generations?

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two sides began the main topic.

"Before in-depth cooperation, I would like to confirm that the condition for your company to sell its PC business to IBM is that IBM abandons Microsoft and adopts Lemon's operating system?" Leon did not answer directly, but asked about Qingfeng Li and IBM's negotiating terms.

"I came to Xiangjiang secretly this time because I want to have more in-depth cooperation with your company. I wonder if Chairman Li is interested?" Leon said bluntly.

Still in the same reception room as last time, Hao Shiping, who was fully prepared this time, faced Qingfeng Li with an arrogant attitude, his nostrils almost raised to the sky, and said in a sinister tone: "Teacher Li, please give me the introduction you want." I got it too, what reason are you going to use to drive me away this time? I wonder if you still dare to let your henchmen come to drive me out."

"Do I need a reason to drive you away? No matter how we look at it, there is no affiliation between us. What you can rely on to sit here is not the so-called letter of introduction, but the face I gave to the Ministry of Foreign Trade. The letter of introduction is important to As far as I'm concerned, it's useless." Faced with Hao Shiping's provocation, Li Qingfeng sneered and responded unceremoniously.

After hearing Qingfeng Li's unceremonious reply, Hao Shiping suddenly became furious and slammed the table: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You are no longer a comrade of the organization and do not accept the leadership of the organization. What do you think, Qingfeng Li?" What to do?"

"Whether I am a comrade of the organization or not is not up to you Hao. You have no control over what I want to do. Again, there is no affiliation between us. This is not your territory. It is not your turn to step on the horse. Beat the table for labor and management." His voice was loud. Qingfeng Li's voice was even louder than his. He stood up and pointed at the other person's nose to curse.

"you you you.."

Hao Shiping was so angry that his face turned red and he pointed at Qingfeng Li and was speechless.

Since becoming a public servant, apart from being pointed and scolded by his superiors, this is the first time that Hao Shiping has been scolded by someone who is inferior to him. If Xiangjiang was not his territory, Hao Shiping would have to compete with Qingfeng Li today. Fists and kicks.

"What am I? If you point your fingers at me again, see if I dare to beat you up and throw you out."

The two of them were at each other's throats as soon as they met. The quarrel got to such an extent that everyone in the office was shocked. They hurriedly came forward to make peace, for fear that the two would start fighting in the reception room.

"Oh, what are you doing? Why are you still quarreling? We are all comrades. How ugly it would be to make a quarrel like this. Let's calm down. Peace is the most important thing. Is there anything you can't say to people in the office?" Li said to the people in the office. Qingfeng still gave him face, glared at Hao Shiping fiercely, and sat down again angrily.

Seeing Li Qingfeng sit down to save his face, Director Miao from the office nodded with satisfaction. Then he saw Hao Shiping who was still standing. Director Miao frowned, with a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he still persuaded him. Two sentences,
When Hao Shiping saw Qingfeng Li sitting down, he snorted coldly. After muttering a few words in a low voice, he sat down under Director Miao's persuasion.

Seeing both parties sitting down, Director Miao said a few more words of peace. After both parties' anger subsided, he handed over the venue to both parties again.

"Chairman Li, let's not speculate, let's get down to business." Hao Shiping took a sip of tea, suppressed the anger in his heart, and spoke first.

Qingfeng Li sneered and said nonchalantly: "As long as you don't stir up trouble, I have no problem here."

"Okay, I'm here to convey the leadership's message. You are not allowed to sell the personal computer business. You must continue production and sales." After saying this, Hao Shiping paused and looked at Qingfeng Li who didn't take him seriously. attitude, and added on his own initiative: "And 50% of the profits earned from the computer business every year must be spent on purchases in the mainland."

Qingfeng Li was not sure for a moment whether this was the intention of the Ministry of Foreign Trade or Hao Shiping's personal intention. He frowned and asked: "Put 50% of the profit for purchasing in the mainland? What to purchase?"

"This is uncertain. The specific items to be purchased will be discussed and decided by our Ministry of Foreign Trade."

"You mean, I have to buy whatever you specify? For example, pots, pans, and other things that are overstocked in various state-owned factories."

"You can understand it that way," Hao Shiping said matter-of-factly.

"I understand you, uncle"

Qingfeng Li just thought it was ridiculous and didn't bother to continue talking to him. After leaving these words, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"You try to walk on horseback. This is what the ministry wants. If you dare to walk, you are going against the ministry. Be careful when the time comes and you won't be able to eat and walk around in circles."

What happened in the past two days made Hao Shiping's anger reach a critical point. Qingfeng Li's scolding words completely made Hao Shiping explode. Regardless of the presence of people from the office, he slammed the table and threatened Qingfeng Li.

Hao Shiping's fair and just threat frightened Director Miao. Director Miao cursed in his heart that the person named Hao was a scumbag. Why couldn't he tell the difference between the king and the king? This was not like those self-employed people in the mainland, where you could flatten and round at will. Object.

He was about to open his mouth to make peace, but before Director Miao could speak, he felt an afterimage flash in front of him, a breeze passed by, and then a crisp slap sounded in his ears.

Hao Shiping didn't expect that Qingfeng Li would dare to hit him. Feeling the burning pain on his face, after a burst of tinnitus, Hao Shiping covered his beaten face and pointed at Qingfeng Li angrily: "Li, if you dare to hit me, you will I'll wait. When I go back, I'll let you squat on the fence."

"Squatting on the fence, right? Okay, before the labor and management squat on the fence, I can't beat you to death, you idiot." As he said that, Qingfeng Li kept moving, and with a backhand, he hit Hao Shiping's unprotected left cheek again. superior.

Hao Shiping was in his forties this year, almost fifty. Facing Li Qingfeng, who was not yet thirty, he had absolutely no power to fight back and screamed after being beaten.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Li, we are all comrades, how can we take action? If you have something to say, please talk to me." Faced with the sudden fight, Director Miao's head was pounding, and he quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.

Faced with Hao Shiping's threat, Qingfeng Li was now giving no face to anyone. Director Miao stopped him to no avail, and the movements of his hands never stopped.

The commotion in the reception room was so loud, and the people outside were not deaf, so someone soon opened the door and rushed in.

"You dare to bully the chairman of the board in our company. Brother, come on, come on, beat this street boy to death."

Logistics manager Zhou saw Li Qingfeng chasing Hao Shiping. He was stunned for a moment, and then an angry expression appeared on his face. After shouting, he took the lead and rushed forward.

Hao Shiping:? ? ? Who are these people riding horses? Didn’t you see that I was being chased and beaten? Why am I the one bullying others?
As Director Zhou shouted, others also reacted. No matter what the specific situation was, it was absolutely right to follow the big boss and beat people.

Immediately, a large group of people, with expressions of common hatred and hatred on their faces, followed Supervisor Zhou and chased Hao Shiping.

Director Miao originally wanted to persuade him, but after he was punched in the face by someone in the chaos, he stopped caring and quietly hid behind him, letting Hao Shiping get hammered by someone from the Lemon Company.

Li Qingfeng, who was angry, was also worried that Hao Shiping would be beaten up by his employees. After all, he would still have to work in the country in the future. Beating him was nothing. If he was beaten up, he would not go back. Already?
When Qingfeng Li asked him to stop, the people who were beating Hao Shiping quickly stopped.

Those who can work in Lemon Company are all highly educated people. They know what they can and cannot do. They are very measured in their actions and use clever skills, which is similar to scratching an itch.

More than a dozen people surrounded Hao Shiping and beat him, which probably did not cause as much damage as Qingfeng Li's previous blows.

Seeing Hao Shiping lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Li Qingfeng waved his hands in disgust and asked Manager Zhou to take him to the hospital for a checkup to make sure nothing happened.

After everyone carried Hao Shiping out, Li Qingfeng said to Director Miao: "Director Miao, I'm sorry, I didn't hold back my anger just now. You have to help me testify. Today's matter is entirely the fault of Hao. "

"Of course, of course, I saw everything. It was Hao Shiping who failed to blackmail and threatened again, and then he took action. Even if the lawsuit goes to Haizi, I will say so."

"Thank you so much, Director Miao. Are there any difficulties in the office? There happens to be a batch of vehicles in the company's fleet that are about to be retired. Let's donate them to the office for running errands."

"It just so happens that there are not enough vehicles in the office. Thank you very much, Teacher Li."

After sending away Director Miao, Li Qingfeng arranged for several cars to be transferred from the fleet.

After sitting alone in the conference room and calming down for a while, he picked up the phone on the table and called Wang Weimin, informing Wang Weimin to arrange for someone to send Hu Jiabao and his wife to Xiangjiang immediately.

I don't know if what Hao Shiping just said is true or not. For safety reasons, Li Qingfeng decided to send Hu Jiabao and his children to Xiangjiang first.
