Reborn in the red age

When Zhang Yapeng came out of the kitchen, Hu Jiabao warmly invited Zhang Yapeng to sit down, and brought some melon seeds snacks from home and placed them on the coffee table.

After some pleasantries, Hu Jiabao could no longer resist his curiosity and started to find out about Zhang Yapeng's background.

Zhang Yapeng is a very honest person and speaks his mind. He was admitted to university in 78 and has been working in a machinery factory in Harbin since then.

Last year, the labor contract system was reformed. Zhang Yapeng, who had a friend who was a trader, simply went into business. He used his savings of many years to open a small factory in Harbin, mainly making textile products, such as jeans, leather jackets and other clothing.

At present, Big Brother is short of materials and light industrial products are in urgent need. However, the things produced are not difficult to sell, as they are all sent to Big Brother by international traders.

After just half a year in business, I've been doing quite well and made a small fortune.

After finding out Zhang Yapeng's background, Hu Jiabao began to ask Zhang Yapeng about his opinion of Ma Wenhui.

"Wenhui is pretty good. She was a bit of a tomboy when she was young, but her personality changed a lot when she grew up. When I saw her gentle side during the blind date, she didn't seem like a girl from Northeast China at all."

"puff"

Li Qingfeng, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard Zhang Yapeng say that Ma Wenhui had a gentle personality.

The room fell silent, and all three people looked over. Ma Wenhui's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"What are you laughing at?" Hu Jiabao's tone was normal, but the meaning conveyed in his eyes was to warn Li Qingfeng not to spoil the show.

Li Qingfeng covered his mouth, coughed twice, and said with a painful expression, "My asthma is acting up. You guys continue."

"Do you need to take some medicine? Teacher Li, you seem to be in great pain," Zhang Yapeng asked with concern.

Li Qingfeng waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it will be fine in a while"

"Yes, Yapeng, you don't have to worry about him. It's just an old illness and he will be fine soon," Hu Jiabao continued.

After seeing Zhang Yapeng's eyes move away from Li Qingfeng, Hu Jiabao quickly lied with his eyes open: "It is the environment that changes people. We went to the countryside together. Wenhui was really like a tomboy back then. But not long after entering university, her personality changed to be gentle and family-oriented."

"You see, my Chuyi is quite naughty. Wenhui often comes to help me take care of the child when she is free. Sometimes Chuyi makes me so angry that I want to throw her away, but Wenhui doesn't feel annoyed at all and can reason with my daughter calmly."

Looking at Hu Jiabao's sincere expression, he would have believed it if he had not seen Ma Wenhui spanking her own daughter with his own eyes.

Chuyi, who was playing with a Rubik's Cube nearby, was stunned and looked at his mother with a puzzled look. Just as he was about to speak, Li Qingfeng covered his mouth.

"Well, I think I should take some medicine. You guys talk, you guys talk."

Without waiting for the three men to reply, he returned to the bedroom with his daughter in his arms. The conversation between the three of them outside was a bit irritating to the ears.

They didn't leave in the afternoon. When it was time for dinner, Zhang Yapeng suggested that he treat everyone to go out for mutton hotpot, and Li Qingfeng didn't refuse.

The two cars left the family compound one after the other.

Sitting in his own Passat, Qingfeng Li glanced up and down at Hu Jiabao who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Feeling very uncomfortable with Li Qingfeng's gaze, Hu Jiabao frowned and asked angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I was wondering when you became so good at lying. Ma Wenhui is gentle and family-oriented? Do you believe this?"

"Hehe, Wenhui is already so old, and she finally has a partner, we can't let him run away no matter what."

"Just lie to me. My personality is what it is. Can you lie to me forever?"

"After we get married, will he dare to divorce?"

Li Qingfeng curled his lips and said nothing. Divorces are rare among decent families these days. Basically, once you marry someone, it's a lifelong commitment. Unless there is a problem with the person's character and they really can't live together anymore, divorces are rare.

Although Zhang Yapeng looks gentle, he also has the boldness of a Northeastern person.

When we arrived at Donglaishun, we ordered a large table of dishes, fearing that they would not have enough to eat.

Li Qingfeng ordered a bottle of Fenjiu and took three glass cups. Just as he was about to pour the wine into them, Ma Wenhui's pretentious voice came from the side: "Teacher Li, what are you doing? You two men are the only ones drinking at the table. Why are you holding three cups?"

Qingfeng Li: Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"Yes, I still have to take care of the children, so I won't drink today. Wenhui never drinks, so you and Yapeng can just drink." Hu Jiabao also realized something and quickly spoke up to help cover for her.

Qingfeng Li: Do you two want to listen to what you two are talking about?
After silently looking at the two women who were cooperating with each other tacitly, Li Qingfeng silently covered one of the cups.

Li Qingfeng and Zhang Yapeng were the main people chatting at the dinner table. Through their interactions in the evening, Li Qingfeng had a good impression of Zhang Yapeng. He thought Zhang Yapeng was an honest man without so many twists and turns in his mind, and he should be able to live a good life with Ma Wenhui.

Even if he comes into contact with the colorful world in the future and has some twists and turns in his mind, that's okay. He will behave himself after a few beatings.

Ma Wenhui has a broken palm, so it hurts a bit when she hits someone
After the meal, the two groups went their separate ways, and Ma Wenhui drove Zhang Yapeng to the guesthouse.

Li Qingfeng was driven home by Hu Jiabao, who had not drunk any alcohol.

Although there is no rule against drinking and driving these days, and no one checks this on the road, there are drunk drivers everywhere at night.

After all, there is a poem:

The Yellow Springs Road is sparsely populated.

There are always cars competing for height.

Cup after cup, empty.
The graves will be green next year.

Who made Li Qingfeng cherish his life? He would never do anything that would endanger his life.

Not long after school started, Qingfeng Li received calls from Hong Kong for a week straight.

There was no other reason. The sales of PS/2, the second generation personal PC developed by IBM, were so strong. With its advanced design and powerful performance, it sold million units in January, sweeping the global computer market and defeating Compaq and other peers.

Not only computer manufacturers were affected by IBM's impact, but Lemon Company was also hurt. Its operating system sales in January this year were terrible, falling by 60%.

All I can say is that a father is a father after all. If he doesn’t take action, it’s fine, but once he takes action, it’s simply fatal.

The company's senior executives were panicked, fearing that IBM would achieve huge success around the world just like it did with its compatible computers, and that the Lemon Company's great fortune would be ruined.

Li Qingfeng was not panicked at all. Even the compatible computer companies were not panicked, so why should a software company panic? Faced with such a Buddhist boss, the executives were speechless and could only focus on office software, increase advertising investment, and compete with Microsoft for the PS/2 office software market.

Yes, the deal between Microsoft, the sixth largest company, and IBM was certainly not just about the operating system. When the PS/2 series was launched, two Microsoft office software programs compatible with the PS/2 series computers were also launched simultaneously, catching the Lemon Company off guard.

Fortunately, Lemon Company started out as a software company, and its software engineers were the best in the consumer software field. After working for a week, they successfully developed office software for the PS/2 system, quickly put it on the market, and competed with Microsoft.

"Teacher, it's bad, our house has been robbed"

As soon as Li Qingfeng entered the office, Yu Zheng came up to him with an angry look on his face.

"The house was robbed? What happened?"

"Take a look for yourself," Yu Zheng said as he handed over a floppy disk.

Li Qingfeng took it curiously and took a look at it, then he gasped. Wow, it said Lianxiang - Word Processing System.

After running Lianxiang's word processing system on the computer in the institute, Li Qingfeng fell silent.

No, this is just a modified Word. How did it become the domestic word processing system he wanted?

"Teacher, don't you think this is too much? When the Academy of Sciences built the local area network, we contributed money and manpower, and now they turn around and stab us in the back without any shame at all," Yu Zheng said angrily, pointing at the wrod on the computer.

Li Qingfeng took his hand off the mouse and rubbed his temple: "Where did you get this software?"

"In Zhongguancun next door, they are selling this system openly. In addition to Word, they also sell pirated Excel and PPT, and even "Block Cube"."

Li Qingfeng was confused by Liu Aiguo's outrageous actions. Well, he really was trying to pull the wool over the eyes of a sheep.

Of course, one cannot ignore something like this. Li Qingfeng immediately called Professor Dong and asked them what the Academy of Sciences meant.
"What happened?"

Facing Li Qingfeng's questioning, Professor Dong on the other side of the microphone was obviously unaware and asked in confusion.

"You do not know?"

"What do I know?"

After a moment's silence, Qingfeng Li told the story of Lian trying to pirate his software.

Professor Dong was also surprised when he heard what happened. He asked Li Qingfeng to wait for a moment and he would ask his superiors about this matter right away.

About an hour later, instead of receiving a call from Professor Dong, I received a call from Professor Dong himself.

"I understand what you said on the phone. According to Liu Aiguo, their software is self-developed. Even if it is similar to your company's products, it is just a coincidence. Moreover, they have applied for a patent in China and passed the review of the Patent Office."

Qingfeng Li stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Wait, you said he applied for a patent for this thing?"

“Yes, all the formalities are complete.”

"As far as I know, our company's products have been patented in all countries around the world, except Big Brother. How did he get approved?"

Professor Dong smiled awkwardly: "You also know that he made a lot of changes to your procedures. The current patent law is not perfect, and his father is a big lawyer in this field. It is easy for him to find loopholes in domestic laws."

Li Qingfeng took a deep breath and said nothing. Instead, he stared at Professor Dong, waiting for him to come up with an explanation.

Professor Dong, who felt guilty, felt a little embarrassed by Li Qingfeng's gaze. After a long while, he weakly opened his mouth to explain: "Well, Lian Xiang was defrauded of a large sum of money last year, and it was all payment for goods given in advance by various units. The leaders had no choice but to temporarily support Liu Aiguo to make money and repay the debt in this way."

"So, what do you mean?"

"You can initiate a lawsuit in Hong Kong and find a domestic lawyer to sue Lian Xiang."

Professor Dong's voice became lower and lower. If the office had not been so quiet, Qingfeng Li would have almost not heard what Professor Dong said.

"As far as I know, the current domestic trademark lawyer is Liu Aiguo's father. If he wants to sue domestic companies for patent infringement, he must go through the patent company established by his father in Hong Kong. Do you want me to ask my father to sue my son?"

"Well, Lawyer Liu is still very professional and ethical. He shouldn't be partial to anyone, right?"

"Do you believe this?"

"Do not believe"

"."

Li Qingfeng was very angry at Lian Xiang's disgusting behavior, but he did not start to deal with him immediately.

It's not that I can't clean it up, but I can't spare the time for the time being because Ma Wenhui is getting married.
The older young woman was about to get married, so Li Qingfeng had to put aside other things in his hands and wait until after Ma Wenhui's wedding to decide on everything.

When Hu Jiabao received the invitation, he was very happy and asked Li Qingfeng to buy the most popular Western-style wedding dress from Hong Kong and send it to Ma Wenhui.

The wedding was held in their hometown. After Wang Weimin, who was far away in Wuxi, received the news and rushed back, he entrusted the first and fifteenth days of the new year to the care of Wang Weimin's wife, and the three of them took a train to Harbin.

"Brother, what's wrong with Ma Wenhui? She got married too quickly. What's wrong with the man?" On the sleeper berth on the train, Wang Weimin poked his head down from the upper bunk and looked at Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng flipped through the storybook he bought when he got on the bus and said casually, "What's so fast about this? Blind date, isn't it just a matter of seeing each other for a moment? Some people go on a blind date on the first day and get the marriage certificate on the second day. Wen Hui is still relatively slow."

"That's right. Wenhui is not young anymore. It's not too late to have a baby now. If she waits any longer, she will become an elderly mother and it will be easy for problems to occur during childbirth." Hu Jiabao gave the most professional advice from a doctor's perspective.

Seeing that the couple acted as if it was a matter of course, Wang Weimin did not continue discussing the issue. Instead, he talked to Li Qingfeng about business matters. In fact, he was madly complaining about Factory 742, calling them a bunch of rubbish. More than a year had passed, and the production line still hadn't been implemented.

Hearing that another year had passed and there was still no significant change in chip output and cost, and the production line purchased from Japan was still not in place, Li Qingfeng frowned. This speed was indeed a bit slow.

After thinking about it, Li Qingfeng felt that he should put some pressure on Factory 742, otherwise, they would really think that this chip order was going to rot in their pot.

"Well, go back and tell Factory 742 that the production technology of decoding chips is mature abroad, and the cost has been further reduced. Lemon Company in Hong Kong is planning to give up supporting the domestic chip industry and is preparing to give domestic orders to Japanese companies for production."

"Okay, after Ma Wenhui's work is over, I will go to Factory 742 as soon as I return to Wuxi." After hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Wang Weimin rubbed his hands excitedly.

After passing Shanhaiguan, looking at the strange yet familiar black soil outside, Li Qingfeng sighed in his heart.

The first time I left the customs was in 75, and now it is . Time flies so fast, and thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
