Reborn in the red age

(Just catch the mistress, why are you taking her clothes off? I feel embarrassed watching this)

"Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly. Didn't Hongmei and her husband arrive today? The train is almost arriving and you are still sleeping. How come you, as a brother, don't worry about them at all?"

On the weekend, Li Qingfeng, who was taking a nap after breakfast, was woken up by Hu Jiabao, who urged him to hurry up and go to the train station to pick someone up.

No one knew what happened to Fifteen last night. After waking up in the middle of the night, he kept crying in the room. It took a long time to coax him back to sleep, which made Li Qingfeng unable to sleep well in the second half of the night.

He got up and washed his face, leaving Hu Jiabao at home to look after the children. Li Qingfeng picked up the car keys, went downstairs and drove towards the train station.

Driving along the streets of the old city, Li Qingfeng's first impression was that there were many more people setting up stalls outside than in the first half of the year. Many stall owners were very shy when setting up their stalls, and it was obvious that they were too embarrassed to do so.

Li Qingfeng sighed deeply, and in his heart lamented that life was really hard for ordinary people these days. Then he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking out the window.

"Hongmei, brother-in-law, here, here"

The train that Li Hongmei was on arrived at the station. Li Qingfeng saw Li Hongmei and her husband at the exit and waved and shouted.

When the couple saw Qingfeng Li, they tightened their luggage and walked away from the crowd towards Qingfeng Li.

He took a step forward, took the suitcase from Li Hongmei, and said with a smile, "Why are you two here? Where's Lele?"

Li Hongmei rubbed her head which was aching from sitting on the train for too long: "We came to the sea, why bring the children with us? We can't do anything with the children around."

"We left the child in our hometown with his grandmother. We're new here and haven't established ourselves yet, so it's not convenient to take the child with us," my brother-in-law Sun Qian explained as he handed over a cigarette.

"Okay, you two can make the decision. Let's go. The train station is not a place to talk. Let's go home first. Your sister-in-law has prepared a big table of delicious food to entertain you."

As he spoke, Qingfeng Li took the lead and walked out with his luggage, and the couple quickly followed.

It has been six or seven years since Li Hongmei last came to Sijiu City. In the past few years, Sijiu City has changed with each passing day, and many high-rise buildings have been built on the ground. Along the way, Li Hongmei kept shouting and yelling, which made Li Qingfeng's ears hurt.

When they returned home, Hu Jiabao had already prepared a large table of lunch and warmly invited the couple to wash their hands and eat.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Qingfeng asked the two if there was any industry they wanted to work in.

"I haven't decided yet. We plan to wait for a few days and see which industry has opportunities."

Li Hongmei shook her head. She had been a little confused since she resigned. She didn't know what to do for a while. She was not willing to follow in her father's footsteps and make pirated discs. She thought about coming to Beijing to see if there were any good opportunities.

Li Qingfeng nodded: "Don't worry about what industry you choose, your brother is here to support you. Go around the city first and take a few days off before deciding what to do."

"I think so too," Li Hongmei nodded in agreement.

"."

Hu Jiabao next to him seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "By the way, Hongmei, do you know treasury bonds?"

"Yes, in the past two years, part of our monthly salary was in the form of treasury bonds."

"When I went back to my parents' home this year, my brother told me about treasury bonds and said that you can make money by trading treasury bonds."

Before Hu Jiabao could finish his words, Li Qingfeng interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop. I know what you mean by trading treasury bonds. Hongmei and the others can't do that."

It is true that you can make money by trading treasury bonds, but now all transactions are in cash, and you need to carry the money back and forth between two places, which is very risky.

Li Qingfeng's words aroused Li Hongmei's dissatisfaction: "Brother, sister-in-law hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you saying that I can't do it?"

"If you say you can't do it, then you can't do it. Do you think it's easy to take a train back and forth between two places with a bag of cash? That's a job that could easily get you killed. Can you do it?"

Seeing that Li Hongmei was a little unconvinced, Li Qingfeng continued without waiting for her to speak: "Sun Qian studied physics in college and even assembled televisions. If you really can't find a job, I have an idle factory in Shijingshan. You can use that factory to find someone to assemble DVD players. It's much better than dealing in treasury bonds."

"No need, brother. When we came to Beijing, we brought some capital for business. We have been teachers for so many years, and the only business we did was setting up stalls. How could we do the job of a factory manager?" Without waiting for Li Hongmei to speak, Sun Qian quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Seeing that Li Hongmei didn't say anything, Li Qingfeng didn't continue to persuade her. He nodded perfunctorily, indicating that it was up to them.

After chatting for a while at home in the afternoon, Li Qingfeng drove them back to Li Hongmei's house in Sijiu City.

"These are the bedding, washing machine, TV and other things your sister-in-law prepared for you. I'll go buy them for you later." Li Qingfeng took the couple on a tour in the yard of Wang Weimin's former foreign trade company.

"Third brother, no need, we can buy whatever we need ourselves."

"Forget it. You two just arrived in the city and don't even have tickets. How are you going to buy one? I'll buy it for you."

"Just listen to my brother. He is very rich and doesn't need this little money."

After walking around the yard, Li Hongmei was very satisfied with this small courtyard house.

Wang Weimin had thrown away all the old furniture in the house when he set up the foreign trade company. Now the house was empty. After a quick look, they closed the door and went to two markets to buy all the furniture and appliances for the house.

After wandering around Beijing for a week, Li Hongmei and her husband found Li Qingfeng and said they wanted to open a store in Zhongguancun to sell electronic products.

Li Qingfeng was not too surprised at their decision to make electronic products. The couple used to be in the business of assembling televisions, and now they were picking up their old business again.

Li Qingfeng's properties are spread all over the city, and Zhongguancun naturally has properties belonging to him. He found a store in a good location and lent it to the couple to open a store.

As for the supply channels, that is easier to solve. Many businesses have settled in Pengcheng's Electronic Building. Other things are hard to find, but as long as the electronic products are available in China, they can be found in the market of the Electronic Building.

Just when the couple went to Pengcheng to select goods, the design team hired from Japan at a high price took one and a half months to successfully draw a complete set of construction design drawings.

China Construction, which had been well prepared, immediately arranged for various construction materials and equipment to be delivered to the site as soon as it received the drawings.

In order to complete the construction of the factory as soon as possible, Li Qingfeng negotiated with China Construction that if the factory was completed one month ahead of schedule, the workers' construction fees would be increased by 3%, with no upper limit.

Inspired by Li Qingfeng's money, China Construction shouted out the slogan: "When the moon is bright, it's day; when it's sunny, one day is equivalent to two days; when it rains lightly, we work hard; when it rains heavily, we work hard; when there's no rain, we work desperately; when we roll up our sleeves, we work hard."

In this way, the construction site was under construction day and night, with a very fast speed and a change every day. During this period, Li Hongmei's electronic product dealership also opened, but the business was very ordinary, and she could only sell some expensive pagers and the like.

There is no way, who asked them to open the store at the wrong time? After what happened in August, people have already spent all their money, and now most people are penniless.
On the second day after the beginning of winter, everyone in the research institute wanted to go to the construction site. Li Qingfeng, who had nothing to do, went to the construction site once on the first day of work and never went there again after that.

It would not be good if the boss himself did not show up, so he simply went with the people from the Microelectronics Research Institute.

At this time, the workers on the construction site were working hard. The construction site of more than 300 acres was full of busy figures.

The entire semiconductor factory has already taken shape, and some easy-to-build office buildings, dormitories and other buildings have been largely completed.

The construction standards for chip factory buildings are very high. In order to prevent the impact of vibrations from the surrounding environment on the production plant, one or two thousand pillars must be driven into the foundation of the factory alone, and a core foundation more than one meter thick must be cast as a whole on the pile foundation.

This project is too big, and the temperature is about to drop, so we can only wait until the beginning of spring after the New Year.

"Not bad, not bad. It hasn't been long and the framework of the office building and dormitory has been built." Wearing a plastic safety helmet on his head, Li Qingfeng walked around the construction site and couldn't help nodding frequently.

Academician Wang, who came to inspect together, shook his head and said: "These are nothing. We can just find a construction team to do it. The real hard battle has not yet begun."

"Don't worry, leaders. We at China Construction have many experiences in building electronic factories. Although your company has relatively high requirements, we are confident that we can complete it within one year." After hearing what Academician Wang said, the person in charge of China Construction who was standing nearby jumped out immediately and assured him by patting his chest.

Li Qingfeng and the others looked at each other, and no one said anything in response to each other's assurances.

A chip factory is different from an ordinary factory and has very high requirements. The construction period was set at two years. Given our financial ability, we would be lucky if we could build it in a year and a half. It was simply impossible to complete it within a year.

After a walk around, I had lunch at the construction site.

As the Party A, we naturally had to eat our own food. Although the conditions at the construction site were difficult, we still had fish, meat, eight dishes and one soup.

"It's too expensive. I see the workers outside are eating only plain food, while we are eating meat and fish here. How can this be possible?" Sitting at the table and looking at the table full of delicious food and wine, Academician Wang frowned.

The person in charge quickly said: "You are the client. How can we let you eat meals on the construction site when you hand over such a large project to us, China Construction?"

"As far as I know, the construction site is working all night long. The workers have to work very hard. The soup is bland and there is no meat in the dishes. Can the body withstand it?" Li Qingfeng also asked his doubts.

There are few equipment on construction sites nowadays, and most of the time, it all depends on manpower. With the intensity of work on construction sites nowadays, problems can easily arise if there is no motivation.

"Boss Li, don't worry, the workers are all strong and there will be absolutely no problem."

“Will that fill anyone up?”

"There are rules for the daily meals, and generally everyone can eat their fill. For those who have a bigger appetite, if there is any leftover after the workers have finished eating, they will be allowed to eat as much as they want."

Li Qingfeng shook his head after hearing what this guy said. To sum it up, just boil the cabbage in boiling water, and each person has a limited amount. Those with big appetites who can't eat enough will have to find a way to solve the problem themselves.

This kind of food is the standard food on construction sites in that era, and it's all the same.

The only advantage of working on a China Construction construction site is that large state-owned enterprises like China Construction still have the dignity to pay workers. On other small construction sites, it is common to not get paid for working for a year.

After thinking for a while, Li Qingfeng decided to give the workers some benefits. He would provide subsidies in the form of half a pound of meat and one pound of rice per worker per day. There were only a thousand workers working in two shifts on the construction site, so this amount of subsidies would not cost much.

The main reason for not giving cash is that they are worried that the money will not reach the workers.
After Li Qingfeng expressed his ideas, the person in charge of the construction site raised his glass and said with emotion: "Boss Li, you are really a good comrade who cares about the workers. I thank you on behalf of the workers. I'll drink it, you can do as you please." As he said this, he drank the wine in the glass.

Li Qingfeng thought that the other party was a good leader, so he gave him face and drank the wine in his glass.

"Great, great, Boss Li is such a big drinker"

After another round of pleasantries, the person in charge of the construction site said hesitantly, "Boss Li, the logistical materials for our construction site are all purchased in bulk, and the price is cheap. Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you to have someone deliver a truckload of materials every once in a while?"

"."

The smile on Qingfeng Li's face disappeared. He was silent for a while before he said, "So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, in order to avoid trouble on your side, why don't we let our construction site do centralized purchasing and report the bills to your company every day. We can settle the payment once a week. What do you think, Boss Li?" The person in charge looked at Li Qingfeng expectantly and said.

"What's the problem? We have a lot of idle people in our company, and we have cars. It's not a big deal to make a trip here every day."

"This..." The person in charge looked a little embarrassed. He glanced at Li Qingfeng inconspicuously and continued, "You don't know, according to the construction site regulations, in order to prevent workers from food poisoning, the meals must be made from ingredients purchased by our logistics department."

Li Qingfeng was so angry that his teeth were itching. This grandson didn't say anything just now, but just said that it was troublesome to deliver supplies every day. Now it has become a rule on the construction site. Is it obvious that he is going to take advantage of me?
Despite his unhappiness, he still negotiated with the other party in a friendly manner: "Can't you be flexible? It's all for the workers' sake."

“We have rules for this.”

"Then we can drive two pigs here every day and you can kill them yourself. Is that okay?"

"No, we have regulations on our construction site."

Li Qingfeng's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "Can I only pay in cash?"

"You can only pay in cash!" The person in charge of the construction site still had that smiling face and his tone was very firm.

"No compromise at all?"

"Boss Li, you're making it very difficult for me."

"Is it difficult?" Li Qingfeng stood up from the stool. Just as he was about to imitate Brother Crow and flip the table, he saw Academician Wang still sitting on the stool.

Everyone at the dinner table was looking at him in confusion. If he didn't do something, it might affect his status.

With his mind racing, Qingfeng Li took a step forward and with a loud crash, he overturned the table next to him, spilling the soup all over the people at the table.

"Difficult? Then don't do it." (End of this chapter)
