Reborn in the red age

Looking at Secretary Qian who remained silent for a long time, Li Qingfeng asked tentatively: "Secretary Qian, why don't you say anything? Do you think these people can help coordinate?"

"Xiao Li, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not." Secretary Qian touched his chin, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"You speak, you speak"

“Sometimes, reality and dreams have to be separated. Things in dreams cannot be realized in reality.”

"."

Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly: "You are quite humorous."

"You were the one who joked with me first," Secretary Qian spread his hands seriously.

"It's mainly because of what you just said that I can speak boldly."

"What I said is to coordinate some talents for you, not to give you all the domestic semiconductor professionals."

The private room fell into silence for a moment.

Li Qingfeng's brain was thinking rapidly about how to attract all the domestic semiconductor talents.

It's so hard to get a big shot like Secretary Qian willing to help. If there were only 10 or 20 people, I would feel like I was losing out.

Secretary Qian felt that Li Qingfeng was an ungrateful guy, and was getting too arrogant, so he didn't want to pay any attention to him and just drank and ate.

After a long while, Qingfeng Li asked tentatively, "Secretary Qian, if I invest one or two hundred million dollars, I wonder if you can give me an opportunity to be recruited by scientific research institutions or universities?"

After racking his brains but unable to come up with any good ideas, Li Qingfeng decided to invest some money and give it a try. What if it worked?
The international situation is complicated now. The "honeymoon period" with the United States has ended. This is the time when foreign exchange is most needed. In theory, as long as there is foreign exchange, everything will be easy.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Qingfeng Li was planning to invest $100 million or $200 million, Secretary Qian shook off his nonchalant attitude and became enthusiastic towards Qingfeng Li again.

"Oh, Mr. Li, we very much welcome Lemon Company to invest in China. Don't worry, as long as your company enters the country, no matter what industry it is, it will be given the green light and all policies will be in place," Secretary Qian said kindly, holding Li Qingfeng's hand.

Li Qingfeng waved his hand quickly: "That's not necessary, just do it as it should be, just follow the same policies as other Hong Kong companies."

"How can that be possible? With the huge contributions your company has made to the country, there must be some policy support for you."

"That's okay"

Li Qingfeng shrugged. Since he was willing to give it, he should give it to him.

After another cordial conversation, Secretary Qian pretended to ask casually, "By the way, the two hundred million US dollars of investment is made from the money deposited in the Hong Kong Bank, right?"

Um.?

Li Qingfeng noticed Secretary Qian's expression and was about to nod his head, but he changed his tone and immediately said, "Of course not. We have no plans to use the money in Xiangjiang Bank in the next two years. We plan to transfer this investment in the mainland to the mainland through HSBC."

"Oh, good, good, HSBC is good. HSBC has branches in many cities in the mainland, so it's convenient for them to transfer money in." Secretary Qian nodded, very satisfied with Li Qingfeng's tact.

Li Qingfeng complained in his heart, what a shitty HSBC bank that has branches in China, making it convenient to transfer money in, but no matter how convenient it is for him, can it be as convenient as the Hong Kong branch to transfer money in?

Complaining in his heart, but still showing respect on the surface, Li Qingfeng personally poured a glass of wine for Secretary Qian, and then asked about the nationwide recruitment: "Secretary Qian, what do you think about the recruitment?"

"Oh, it's just a small matter, a small matter. Researchers don't have to work in scientific research institutions. It's not impossible to do scientific research in enterprises. On the contrary, there is more ample research and development funds. Anyway, your chip factory is not located abroad."

At this point, Secretary Qian paused and continued, "I'll go back and report. It's just a nationwide recruitment, so it's not a big problem."

"Oh, thank you so much, Secretary Qian. I'll toast to you."

Both of them had gotten what they wanted. Next, they didn't talk much about the topic that had already been discussed, but chatted about family matters like ordinary people.

After the meal, neither of them stayed in Harbin for long. Early the next morning, after visiting Zhang Yapeng, Li Qingfeng packed his luggage and prepared to leave.

This time when returning to Sijiu City, Li Qingfeng did not take the train, but returned by plane at the invitation of Secretary Qian.

After coming out of the airport, Li Qingfeng didn't even go back home, but went straight to the research institute. He called Fang Wanzhen in Hong Kong and asked her to immediately open a company account at the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China and deposit US$1 billion into it. In addition, he should transfer US$200 million to the company's account in China.

"Mr. Li, we don't have so much cash in our company's account right now. Please give me two months. After two months, the branches in various places will transfer part of the profits from the first half of the year back to the headquarters. Then we can raise enough money with a little more effort," Fang Wanzhen said somewhat embarrassedly into the microphone.

Hearing Fang Wanzhen's words, Li Qingfeng was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Where's the company's money?"

"Seventy percent of the company's funds are in Japan. Last year, the annual profits of the American branch were not returned to the headquarters. All of them were allocated to Ms. Li Huiying's chip company. In addition, according to your request, the company's headquarters building in Central has begun construction. Now the headquarters can only raise $800 million in cash."

Listening to Fang Wanzhen's report through the microphone, Li Qingfeng's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).

Lemon Company is a high-profit software company with no heavy asset investments, so it has an alarming amount of cash on its account.

In Li Qingfeng's impression, there were always 10 to 20 billion US dollars in reserve in the headquarters account. That was why he dared to ask Secretary Qian for 10 billion US dollars.

Now the situation has become serious. The headquarters does not have enough funds and there is still a gap of 400 million US dollars.

If the money is not in place, it means that the higher-ups have been deceived. It's chilling to think about it.
After thinking for a while, Qingfeng Li asked tentatively: "Can we withdraw some funds from Japan now?"

"The Japanese economy is very hot this year. Both housing prices and stock markets have doubled. Our investment in Japan can bring us a point of return every day."

Before Fang Wanzhen could finish, Li Qingfeng interrupted her: "Stop, don't say anymore. You've convinced me. Japan's investment will not be affected for the time being."

One point of return is quite a lot. With the current size of Lemon Company's capital in Japan, it makes tens of millions of dollars in profit every day.

No wonder some people in Japan dare to shout the slogan: If you sell Tokyo, you can buy the whole America. The current Japanese economy is really crazy.

Unable to withdraw funds from Japan, facing the gap of US$400 million, Li Qingfeng was at a loss for a moment.

I can only leave the problem to Fang Wanzhen and ask her to find a way to fill this gap as soon as possible.

Faced with the chairman who had thrown the problem to her, Fang Wanzhen had no choice but to propose a bank loan. With Lemon Company's assets, it would be easy to borrow several hundred million dollars, and no bank would doubt that Lemon Company could not repay the huge amount.

Li Qingfeng smacked his lips. There was nothing else he could do now. If he wanted to fill the gap quickly, this was the only way.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingfeng rubbed his brows. The company was at such a strength now, but it actually needed to borrow money from the bank. It was embarrassing to say it out loud.

After cancelling his leave at the Academic Affairs Office, Li Qingfeng opened the key and returned home. The little babysitter Cai Genhua was watching TV with her two children on the sofa. When she saw Li Qingfeng coming back, she quickly stood up from the sofa and shyly hid her hand holding the remote control behind her back.

"dad"

Chuyi, who was already six years old, saw Li Qingfeng coming back, and quickly jumped off the sofa and rushed towards Li Qingfeng barefoot.

As for Fifteen, who was less than three years old, he was so absorbed in the content on TV that he had no intention of getting up.

Li Qingfeng picked up his eldest daughter and pinched Chuyi's chubby face. He smiled and said, "Oh, my eldest daughter has become heavier again. Daddy can hardly hold her anymore."

"Hehe, Auntie Cai's cooking is better than mom's. Chuyi eats a lot every day." Chuyi patted his round belly in Qingfeng Li's arms and said with a smile.

"Really? You haven't told your mother this, have you?"

"No, I'm not stupid, I won't rush to ask for scolding"

"What a clever girl"

After talking to Chuyi at the door, Cai Genhua also came over and said embarrassedly: "Teacher Li, you are back from your business trip. I just finished my housework, so I took Chuyi and Shiwu to watch TV."

Seeing the nervous look on the little girl's face, Qingfeng Li smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. There is no work to do all the time at home. If there is no work, it's good to watch TV and take a rest. It's a good combination of work and rest. Just take good care of the two children."

"Oh, thank you, Teacher Li. Don't worry, I will take good care of Chuyi and Chuyi." Seeing Li Qingfeng's kind attitude, Cai Genhua nodded quickly to express her opinion.

He put Chuyi on the ground and sent her and Cai Genhua to continue watching TV.

After Qingfeng Li returned to the master bedroom bathroom and took a shower, he put on his clothes and came out to watch TV with his two children.

"Dad, you are back"

When the show "Black Cat Sheriff" ended on TV, Fifteen, who was immersed in the cartoon, turned his gaze away and saw Li Qingfeng sitting on the sofa.

Li Qingfeng said with a dark face: "I'm back. You can continue watching your cartoon. The second episode will start soon."

"it is good"

Fifteen nodded and obediently turned his attention back to the TV.

Looking at Chuyi who was hanging on him, and then at Shiwu who was watching TV in a daze, Li Qingfeng sighed deeply.

If he had not been sure that this kid was indeed his own, Qingfeng Li would have suspected that Fifteen was taken away by mistake in the hospital and had not inherited any of his and Hu Jiabao's cleverness.

At noon, Hu Jiabao came back from school and saw Li Qingfeng at home. He immediately pulled Li Qingfeng aside to ask about Zhang Yapeng.

Hu Jiabao finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Zhang Yapeng was not hurt and had just been kidnapped for two days.

During the days when Zhang Yapeng had the accident, Hu Jiabao had been living in fear at home, fearing that something had happened to Zhang Yapeng and that her best friend Ma Wenhui, who was pregnant, would not be able to bear the blow and something would happen to her again.

"By the way, Chuyi is old enough to go to school now. Go ask your school tomorrow about the rules." At the dinner table, Hu Jiabao looked at Chuyi who was eating with big mouthfuls of rice and said to Li Qingfeng.

Chuyi, who was eating happily, suddenly felt that the rice in the bowl no longer tasted good after hearing what his mother said.

He stopped eating, opened his eyes wide, and looked at his father pitifully, with rejection written all over his little face.

Li Qingfeng pinched Chuyi's chubby face and nodded: "Time flies so fast. We are also of legal school age. I will ask around tomorrow to see what the rules of the affiliated kindergarten are."

Now Chuyi's face completely fell and he was no longer in the mood to eat.

"Can't she go directly to elementary school? I see that many people send their children directly to elementary school, and not many people go to kindergarten." Hu Jiabao frowned. He didn't want her to go to kindergarten in the first grade, but wanted her to go directly to the first grade.

Children of working parents basically grow up in orphanage classes, which contain more or less early childhood education. Many people do not send their children to kindergarten, but wait until they reach the legal age and then send them directly to first grade.

Li Qingfeng shook his head, not quite agreeing with Hu Jiabao's idea: "We still have to go to kindergarten. With the temperament of the first grade, if we don't go to kindergarten for a year to make a transition and go directly to the first grade, then the teacher will call us parents every few days."

Hu Jiabao recalled the experience of being reported to the teacher of the Yuhong class every other day, and he couldn't help but shudder. His daughter was too terrible, so he decided to let her go to kindergarten for a year as a transition.

Li Qingfeng was very concerned about the issue of the first-year junior high school student going to school. In the afternoon, he went straight to the management office of the family quarters, inquired about the situation, and then went straight to the kindergarten affiliated with the school.

When I arrived at the place and met the director, it turned out to be an acquaintance. We had met many times before.

But the reasons for the meetings were not good things, either because they were naughty in the first grade of junior high school or because they beat other children.
Looking at the middle-aged female head teacher opposite him, Qingfeng Li greeted her awkwardly: "Hey, squad leader Hong, you have been transferred to the kindergarten?"

This person was the former monitor of the Yuhong class and was transferred to the kindergarten to serve as the principal.

When Dean Hong of the affiliated kindergarten heard that Junior One wanted to go to kindergarten, he quickly shook his head and refused: "Teacher Li, isn't your Junior One six years old this year? He has reached the legal school age. I suggest that he should go to the first grade instead of kindergarten."

"Well, he's not even 6 years old yet. In my family, the first day of the lunar month is small, so he won't be until December," Li Qingfeng said embarrassedly.

"It's not a big deal. I know the principal of our school's affiliated primary school. I'll say hello. When school starts, you and Dr. Hu can take the first grade student directly to the school to complete the enrollment procedures."

Seeing Dean Hong, who would rather use his connections to help Chuyi go to the first grade than let him go to kindergarten at his school, Qingfeng Li felt a headache.

Li Qingfeng continued to ask, "Is it true that the first grade students can't go to kindergarten?"

"Teacher Li, you know your daughter's personality very well. Our kindergarten really doesn't dare to accept her."
