Reborn in the red age

"Mother and son are safe. Congratulations to Chairman Li on the birth of his son."

Just when Li Qingfeng was stunned, the door of the delivery room was opened, and a beautiful little nurse came out of the delivery room and congratulated Li Qingfeng.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Miss Nurse." After hearing the news that the mother and child were safe, Qingfeng Li shouted hello three times in a row, and shouted to the company executives who had just rushed over after receiving the news: "Director Zhou."

Manager Zhou took out the red envelope that he had prepared, stepped forward with a smile, and stuffed it into the hands of the nurse who came out to announce the good news.

Touching the thick red envelope, the little nurse was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This wealthy family is so generous, and the red envelope they gave her was higher than her monthly salary.

Soon the child was taken out. Li Qingfeng stepped forward and took the swaddle from the nurse. He held it in his arms and looked at it. He only had one thought in his mind: Why is this kid so ugly? He is much uglier than when he was born in the first year of junior high school. .

Next to him, Fang Wanzhen and other senior executives also came up to flatter him.

"Director Li, the young master is so good-looking. He is almost carved from the same mold as you."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fang is right. The young master is so beautiful. He must have inherited the excellent genes of you and your wife."

"The young master is so cute, with big eyes. He will definitely be a smart kid in the future."

Their nickname is Shi Fifteen, and their elder name is Li Zimu. When others hear this name, they will know that they are biological siblings.

When he saw the child for the first time, Hu Jiabao blurted out: "Qingfeng, look, we are fifteen and look like you."

Fortunately, a child's anger comes and goes quickly. After a while, the first day of junior high school heard the cry. He lay beside the crib curiously and looked at Fifteen. From time to time, he stretched out his little hand and poked Fifteen curiously. s face.

In Li Qingfeng's heart, a daughter is naturally closer than a son. When he saw Chu Yi poking Shi Fifteen's face, he just pretended that he didn't see it. It was just a poke in the face anyway, and nothing would happen.

When Chu first thought about the spanking experience, he pursed his lips and said nothing, but he still retracted his outstretched hand.

After a long while, she cried loudly. While crying, she complained about why she didn't wake her up when she gave birth to her brother last night, so that she didn't see the birth of her brother immediately.

"Oh, why are you so mean to my child? You just want to touch your brother's face in the first year of junior high school. Just touch it. You won't lose the meat anyway." Li Qingfeng was blowing hot air on the chicken soup that the nanny Aunt Zhou had just made. Seeing Hu Jiabao yelling at his precious daughter, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and speak out.

Too lazy to pay attention to these people, Li Qingfeng carried the child into the clean delivery room without saying a word, intending to let Hu Jiabao take a look at the child.

I had a very sweet sleep. When I woke up and came to the ward in the first year of junior high school, I looked at my mother's deflated belly and saw a little person appeared on the small bed next to the hospital bed. I was stunned and raised my little hands in disbelief. Rubbed his eyes twice.

Fortunately, the couple had no plans to have a third child, otherwise it would be difficult to name the third child.

This time, because the baby was born faster, Hu Jiabao's complexion was much better than when he was in the first grade of junior high school.

"."

Qingfeng Li and his wife were very helpless in the first year of junior high school. Who told you to sleep like a dead pig? Such a big noise didn't wake you up. Besides, why did they wake you up at that moment? Trouble?

Hu Jiabao glanced at Qingfeng Li and said calmly: "Don't interrupt when I am taking care of the children, otherwise, you will take care of the children at home from now on!"

The senior executives of Lemon Company looked at each other in confusion as they watched the departing chairman. Did they say something wrong? It shouldn’t be, what we said are all good things.

Listening to the executives saying that the child looked like him, Qingfeng Li fell silent. This child was so ugly and had nothing like his suave, handsome and chic temperament.

Fortunately, Qingfeng Li tried to save trouble when naming the first year of junior high school. This time when the second child was born, he no longer had to rack his brains to think of a name. He could just follow the name of the first year of junior high school.

But Hu Jiabao is different. As a woman in this era, she will more or less value boys. Even Hu Jiabao, who was born in the Hu family, a family where men and women are equal, is no exception.

In the first year of junior high school, he poked once and when he was about to reach out and poke again, Hu Jiabao's vicious voice sounded from behind: "In the first year of junior high school, your butt is itchy again, right?"

Standing at the head of the bed, he looked at Hu Jiabao for a while, then turned to look at his newborn little brother.

Tired, destroy it.

One sentence left Qingfeng Li speechless. He quickly gave up the idea of ​​speaking up and looked at Chu Yi with a helpless expression.

After all, raising children, especially children under 5 years old, is terrifying just thinking about it.

It was a good thing that the second child was born. After serving Hu Jiabao and drinking chicken soup, Qingfeng Li notified his parents who were waiting for news at home.

The elders on both sides are relatively easy to communicate with each other. The Hu family can call their work directly. On the Li family, since the pirated disc factory opened, Li's father applied to the community to install a landline phone, which is called "connection". business.

The elders on both sides were very happy when they learned that the mother and child were safe. That is to say, it is not convenient to come to Xiangjiang now, otherwise they would have to come to Xiangjiang to see the child.

Hu Jiabao stayed in the hospital for a week. After confirming that the mother and child were in good health, he was discharged home and began confinement under the care of Aunt Zhou.

After Hu Jiabao was discharged from the hospital, Li Qingfeng also began to go out to meet guests.

The first person to come to the door was Zhou Yingjie, the director of the Xiangjiang Office. After Zhou Yingjie came in, he first expressed concern and condolences on behalf of the mainland to Qingfeng Li for the attack. Secondly, he congratulated Qingfeng Li on the birth of his son and gave him a gift. .

The things were not expensive, but after all, it was someone else's intention, and Qingfeng Li was still very satisfied.

After going through a set of procedures, today's business began.

Zhou Yingjie stopped his words for a moment and said slowly: "Teacher Li, regarding the DVD player, I have obtained authorization from the mainland and want to talk to you."

"Director Zhou, please speak"

Hearing the words "video disc player", Li Qingfeng was surprised. He didn't know what China was going to talk to him about, but his face remained calm. "It's like this. Video disc players have a huge and vast market in the global consumer electronics field. Comrade Wang Weimin's factory is obviously unable to supply the market demand. China wants to introduce your company's technology and build several video disc players in the special zone. Production factory, selling DVD players to the world."

Qingfeng Li immediately understood that video disc players had attracted the attention of the country. He saw the huge market for video disc players in the future and wanted to compete personally.

Qingfeng Li didn't feel anything wrong with the state's participation in the VCD market competition. This was normal. Now that the development of state-owned enterprises had begun to decline, it was understandable that the state wanted to change the loss-making situation of state-owned enterprises through new products.

Anyway, he had no intention of manufacturing DVD players himself. It made no difference to Qingfeng Li whether the DVD players were produced by Wang Weimin's family alone or by the country himself.

From the beginning to the end, Li Qingfeng only thought about selling chips and collecting royalties. There was nothing more satisfying than lying down and collecting money.

Just like the previous lemon PCs and operating systems, you can't have both, you have to make a trade-off, and you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Neither players nor referees will end well.

After Zhou Yingjie finished speaking, Li Qingfeng nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I support with both hands the desire to engage in the production of DVD players in China."

"Well, Teacher Li really understands justice."

Zhou Yingjie obviously did not expect Li Qingfeng to agree so readily. The expected argument did not happen, and the drafts prepared in advance were all in vain.

"It's all for the development of the country," Li Qingfeng waved his hand and said boldly.

Zhou Yingjie nodded with deep understanding, and his impression of Qingfeng Li became a little better. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qingfeng Li.

"The technology of the video disc player is very simple and does not require the introduction of technology. You only need to purchase chips from us and purchase laser heads from abroad and assemble them domestically." At this point, Li Qingfeng paused, looked at Zhou Yingjie and then continued: "Currently China has not joined the WTO, and the patent law has no restrictions on the domestic market. However, if it is exported, the country needs to pay patent fees to our company in accordance with the rules."

When he heard the word patent fee, Zhou Yingjie's expression changed, and his good impression of Qingfeng Li disappeared without a trace.

Immediately he began to cry for poverty: "Teacher Li, you now know the situation of the country. The country is still very poor. Your company has a big business and is not bad at this point."

"Stop, Director Zhou, that's not what you said. Do you know how much our company has invested in research and development of DVD players? From chip to finished product, we have invested nearly hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Our company is not engaged in the production of video disc players, but has given up the video disc player project. If we are not even allowed to collect patent fees and rely solely on selling chips, when will we recover the cost?"

Qingfeng Li's words about R&D expenses were somewhat exaggerated. The hundreds of millions of dollars he mentioned included the total expenses of setting up a chip company in the United States.

The developers of decoding chips are mainly domestic technical experts. They do not have the habit of spending as much as foreign experts. They can always save money on research and development. The total research and development expenses are about 40 million US dollars.

Qingfeng Li's words made Zhou Yingjie feel quite angry. After a long while, he tentatively asked how much the Lemon Company would charge in royalties for a DVD player.

"Not much, we charge a patent fee of US$5 for each machine," Qingfeng Li said calmly.

Zhou Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was only $5, and the good impression that had disappeared came back again.

It was only the early days of VCD at this time, prices had not yet been driven down, and export profits were still very high.

In China, the profit from exporting video disc players to Hong Kong has long been clearly calculated. A machine has a profit of at least fifty US dollars. The patent fee of five US dollars is only one-tenth of the profit. It is not much and can be afforded.

After all the patent fees were discussed, the topic finally turned to the most important chip: "As for chips, as far as I know, the current production capacity of the 742 factory is limited. I don't know how many chips Mr. Li can provide us every month."

Li Qingfeng also had a headache when talking about chips. Factory 742 was really struggling. For more than half a year, the production process had not improved at all. The output was more than per month. Wang Weimin was so angry that he scolded his mother.

"Director Zhou, the chip output of Factory 742 is indeed relatively low, so let me first place a chip OEM order with America for you," Li Qingfeng said, rubbing his eyebrows.

Factory 742 is too stretched, so we still have to place orders from foreign foundries. Otherwise, relying solely on the poor output of Factory 742, it is estimated that by the time DVD is successfully developed, VCDs will not be able to sell units.

After the matter of the DVD player was settled, Zhou Yingjie did not stay with Qingfeng Li any longer, and hurriedly said goodbye and left to report the good news to the country.

After Zhou Yingjie left, the Hong Kong film and television industry formed an alliance and sent a representative to discuss the issue of pirated discs with Qingfeng Li.

This group of people, Qingfeng Li, has never met him. What a joke. I neither produced the pirated discs nor smuggled them in. Why should they come to me to solve the problem of pirated discs?

Qingfeng Li was nowhere to be found, and the Film and Television Alliance could do nothing about it. Fortunately, there were not many VCDs in Xiangjiang, so it had little impact on the sales of their official video tapes. There were only 10,000 copies of each film, so they simply let it go.

Let’s wait until there are more VCDs in stock. At worst, we can crack down on piracy and print discs ourselves at the same time.

For projects with immediate returns on investment, the domestic response was very fast. After Zhou Yingjie reported Qingfeng Li's reply, action started on the same day.

In just one month, the factory, equipment, and workers were all in place, and a large number of accessories were purchased to start assembling the DVD players. They were just waiting for the decoding chips to arrive, and they were immediately installed and shipped to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and other regions.

As for the disc issue, China has chosen the same approach as Wang Weimin, encouraging domestic village and town enterprises to produce pirated discs and allowing the smuggling of pirated discs.

In order to export video disc players more smoothly, they not only purchased all the film and television tapes from Asian countries back to China, but also purchased several disc pressing machines. One machine can produce tens of thousands of pirated discs a day.
Qingfeng Li's family waited until Hu Jiabao was born, then packed up and left Xiangjiang.

Before leaving, Fang Wanzhen came over and asked Qingfeng Li what to do with the already built building in Pengcheng, whether to rent it out directly or leave it temporarily idle for future use.

When he heard about the building in Pengcheng, Li Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to remember that he had invested in a building there last time when he was asked by the leader of Pengcheng. If Fang Wanzhen hadn't come here today, Qingfeng Li would have I almost forgot.

Qingfeng Li thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen that building since it was built. This time we are going back to Sijiu City and are going to take the train. After we wait in Pengcheng, we will go and see that building before making a decision. "

"Okay, then I will arrange for someone to accompany you there now."

We took the company's motorcade through customs and drove all the way to the completed 24-story high-rise building in Futian District. (End of chapter)
