Reborn in the red age

When they returned home in the evening, Hu Jiabao, who had received the news from Li Qingfeng, pulled Chuyi back to the room with a gloomy face.

It was fine at the beginning, I could only hear Hu Jiabao's voice preaching.

Later, I don’t know if he was impatient or what, but Chuyi actually dared to talk back to Hu Jiabao who was angry.

Li Qingfeng, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, couldn't help but admire his daughter's bravery in his heart. She was worthy of being invincible in the Yuhong Class. She even dared to provoke the angry Hu Jiabao. She was so brave.

Sure enough, within two minutes, Qingfeng Li heard the crisp sound of flesh contact coming from inside.

Immediately afterwards, Chuyi's crying voice came through the crack in the door, followed by a sobbing voice begging for mercy.

It's really a slap in the face that shatters the heroic spirit.
How could a father, as his beloved child was beaten, stand idly by? He immediately opened the door and rushed in, ready to rescue Chuyi from Hu Jiabao's hands.

Chuyi, who was forced by Hu Jiabao to press his upper body against his legs with his buttocks raised high, saw Li Qingfeng coming in. He complained to Li Qingfeng angrily as if he had seen a savior:

"Dad, save me, Chuyi's butt is about to be broken by this bad woman named Hu, please drive her away quickly"

"hiss"

Li Qingfeng, who had just entered, took a deep breath. Things were getting serious.

My daughter, my daughter, your old father can’t save you this time.

Looking at Hu Jiabao, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly and quickly defended himself: "I didn't teach you that."

"Close the door and get out." Hu Jiabao looked away and said gritting his teeth at Chuyi who was twisting and struggling under him.

"Oh, okay, okay."

When the door was about to close, Qingfeng Li stuck his head into the room again: "Well, Chuyi is still a child."

Being glared at fiercely by Hu Jiabao and seeing Chuyi's desperate eyes, Li Qingfeng quickly closed the door.

Back in the living room, Sha Shiwu was still sitting on the sofa watching Calabash Brothers with great interest, while Cai Genhua was pretending to clean the room, only occasionally looking up towards the study room where the voice for begging for mercy came from.

Li Qingfeng coughed awkwardly and told Cai Genhua to take Shiwu back to sleep, saying that the room was clean and did not need to be cleaned.

With Li Qingfeng's instructions, Cai Genhua quickly put the rag in her hand back into the kitchen, picked up Fifteen from the sofa, and quickly returned to the room to sleep.

Half an hour later, Hu Jiabao finally came out of the room with Chuyi, who was crying.

After seeing Li Qingfeng on the first day of the new year, she was not as close to him as before. She puffed up her lips, didn't look at him, and ran back to her room quickly.

This little girl is really hot-tempered.
After teaching the first-year junior high school student Hu Jiabao a lesson, he said to Li Qingfeng with a worried look on his face: "Hey, what should we do with the first-year junior high school student? Dean Hong would rather use his connections to send her to the first grade of elementary school than let her go to kindergarten."

"Just go to primary school. Don't you want your first-year student to go to primary school as well?" Li Qingfeng spread his hands and said indifferently.

"Is the point I'm talking about whether he can go to primary school? I'm worried about his future in the first grade of junior high school. He's naughty and bullies his classmates at such a young age. What will happen to him when he grows up?"

Seeing Li Qingfeng's indifferent attitude, Hu Jiabao was furious and lashed out at Li Qingfeng in a bad mood. He even added, "Your daughter's mischievous nature is obviously inherited from you."

"Yes, yes, yes, the child's shortcomings are all from me, and his strengths are all from you." After Hu Jiabao finished scolding, Li Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

Li Qingfeng knew very well that he could not disobey a woman who was angry, otherwise she would keep talking endlessly.

Sure enough, after Li Qingfeng decisively admitted his mistake, Hu Jiabao did not continue to dwell on this topic, but continued to think about the events of the first day of the new year with a sad face.

Li Qingfeng didn't care at all about Hu Jiabao's worries. Children are always naughty by nature, and they will be fine when they grow up.

One advantage of the first grade is that they don’t hold grudges.

At night, she still hated Hu Jiabao for beating her and didn't want to pay any attention to Li Qingfeng. After waking up, she remembered nothing and was still talking and laughing as usual, pestering Li Qingfeng to take her out to play.

In the half month since he came back from Harbin, Li Qingfeng always received calls from Huaguo Bank on time every Monday and Wednesday.

The content of the phone call was that Li Qingfeng was a big savings customer of the bank, and asked Li Qingfeng to go to the bank to collect oil and noodles.

Li Qingfeng understood the bank's intention. It was simply urging him to transfer the money quickly, but it was difficult to say it out loud. So they found an excuse to collect oil and noodles to remind Li Qingfeng.

Otherwise, why didn't these calls come before? Nowadays, banks don't allow you to get physical goods by depositing money.

Tired of being harassed by the bank, Li Qingfeng could only urge Fang Wanzhen to hurry up and urge the bank to release the money as soon as possible.

However, since it involved a huge sum of $400 million, the bank was very cautious and it took a full month to transfer the money to the Lemon Company's account.

The day after the 1.2 billion yuan in funds arrived, Li Qingfeng received a call from his secretary Li Changzhi.

Early in the morning, Qingfeng Li drove to the place he had agreed with Secretary Li.

"Teacher Li, we haven't seen each other for more than a month since we parted in Harbin." At the gate of a certain unit, Li Changzhi shook hands with Li Qingfeng enthusiastically.

Li Qingfeng, who was in a good mood, shook hands with Li Changzhi and greeted him enthusiastically: "It's been a long time since we last met. Secretary Li, did you stay up late last night? Why are there such heavy dark circles under your eyes?"

"Yes, there have been too many things going on recently. I didn't sleep last night."

"Then find a place to rest when you are free today. After all, staying up late can lead to sudden death."

"."

Li Changzhi instantly lost the mood to talk to Li Qingfeng. After a few awkward words, he took Li Qingfeng upstairs to meet Secretary Qian.

"Xiao Li is here, come and sit down. I heard that you love to drink tea, so I just brewed some top-quality Da Hong Pao tea. You can't get such good tea outside."

When they met again, Secretary Qian was even more enthusiastic towards Qingfeng Li. He personally stood up and pulled Qingfeng Li to sit on the sofa.

Seeing Secretary Qian's attitude, Li Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but wonder if anything unexpected would happen.

Suppressing his doubts, Qingfeng Li chatted calmly with Secretary Qian.

When the time was right, Secretary Qian got to the point: "Xiao Li, I've reported your request. The higher-ups are very interested in your chip company. In principle, they will deploy their best talents to your company." Li Qingfeng took a sip of tea and said nothing, because he knew there was a "but" in Secretary Qian's words.

Sure enough, as soon as the teacup was put down, 'but' came immediately.

"But the people you want are the foundation of National Semiconductor and the essence of various local research units. They are all treasures in their units. If you want them to release them, it is not something that can be accomplished with a transfer order from above."

After Secretary Qian finished speaking, Li Qingfeng spoke slowly: "Secretary Qian, I did not ask the organization to coordinate the transfer of personnel. What I meant was that the organization should organize a nationwide recruitment of scientific researchers."

"I have told you the salary we offer. It is entirely voluntary for both parties. If you are willing to come, our company welcomes you. If you are not willing to come, we will not force you."

Li Qingfeng, who is wealthy and powerful, is playing the game of money offensive and raising the salary and benefits to the maximum.

The basic salary is 3,000 yuan a month, and as soon as you join the company you will be given a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment of 70 to 80 square meters to live in.

This is definitely a strong temptation for those scientific researchers in China who are so poor that they are urinating blood, and they don’t have to worry about not being able to recruit people.

The reason for obtaining permission from above is, firstly, to increase credibility and give researchers who are interested in it the illusion that they are also working for the country.

Secondly, poaching talents from units across the country would offend people. After all, we still have to work in China in the future, so we should do it in an organized manner so as not to be targeted by all units.

After all, the poaching activities of the Institute of Microelectronics in the past few years have caused the Institute of Microelectronics to have a bad reputation in Beijing.

If it weren't for Peking University's reputation, they would have come to our door to ask for an explanation.
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Secretary Qian said with a smile: "This is indeed a method that can attract some basic talents, but scholars like Academician Wang will not come to work for you just for money."

Secretary Qian's words pointed out the drawback of Li Qingfeng's method, which was that it could not attract high-end talents.

Although the older generation of scientists were poor, they were truly patriotic and would rather work in a state-owned unit and eat coarse food than use their skills to serve other units.

If there were few such people, it would really be nothing. But the scary thing is that there are quite a few scholars in China who have such ideas, and each of them has real abilities.

After the reform and opening up, if it weren't for the perseverance of this group of people, how could China's scientific research capabilities catch up with the world's number one power, the United States, in just a few decades?

Including Academician Wang mentioned above, if Li Qingfeng had not taken control of the Academy of Sciences through some means, Academician Wang would not even look at Li Qingfeng, let alone come to work here.

"Then Secretary Qian, do you have any way to help recruit capable scientific researchers?"

I know that Secretary Qian would not point out the drawbacks of my plan for no reason, and he must have something else to say.

Li Qingfeng was too lazy to play guessing games with Secretary Qian, so he just spoke directly to see what the higher-ups thought.

Secretary Qian smiled and took a sip of tea, then said meaningfully: "Xiao Li, although I know the situation of your company, it is a purely Chinese-owned enterprise, but in name, Lemon Company is still a Hong Kong company and a foreign-owned enterprise."

"What do you mean?"

"I wonder if you have ever considered a joint venture? Just like Volkswagen in Shanghai and Cofco's Coca-Cola."

OK, Qingfeng Li finally understood. It turned out that he was waiting here.

After thinking for a while, Qingfeng Li knocked on the table and said, "It's not impossible to form a joint venture, but what are the rules?"

Having made up his mind, Li Qingfeng had no objection if it was a fair and just joint venture. However, if it was a unilateral poverty alleviation, and they wanted half of the shares without any evidence, and also wanted the domestic unit to be responsible for management, then Li Qingfeng would get up and leave.

"Don't worry, the country will not let you suffer any loss, and you will definitely be satisfied with the conditions."

Noticing Li Qingfeng's expression, Secretary Qian smiled and assured that the joint venture was not based on sacrificing the interests of any party.

Li Qingfeng didn't say anything, waiting for Secretary Qian to speak again.

"It's like this. You are familiar with the current economic situation. The country will definitely not invest too much money in this joint venture, and there is no foreign exchange. This needs to be solved by your company."

Secretary Qian didn't need to explain this, Li Qingfeng also understood it and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng's face showed no strange expression, Secretary Qian continued, "Although the country has no money, it still has sufficient talent. Isn't there a saying abroad that technology can be used as a share? What the higher-ups mean is that we provide talent as a share."

"You can choose any R&D personnel in any research institute in the country. Any equipment and technical patents that can be produced domestically can be provided free of charge as long as you need them."

"The construction of the joint venture's site and factory will also be borne by the finance department. Your company does not need to pay for it, and no leaders will be sent to manage it. The management rights will be handed over to your company. You only need to allow the party building team to move in."

Listening to Secretary Qian's conditions, Li Qingfeng nodded secretly in his heart. These conditions were indeed very sincere and did not harm the interests of any party. They could be said to be fair and just.

"What about the share ratio?"

"Four percent"

Hearing that only 40% of the shares were required, Qingfeng Li was satisfied, but he said, "40% is too high. No, no, now a chip production line abroad costs hundreds of millions of dollars. The most advanced one may not even cost 200 million US dollars. The R&D investment is even more frighteningly high. Tens of millions of dollars won't even make a splash."

"What you said has been taken into consideration. A 40% stake is not high at all. The country has given you all the assets of the semiconductor industry. You can use all the equipment and patents in the country for free. At that time, an astronomical amount of money was spent on the research and development of these things. Is it too much to give you only a 40% stake?"

"Forget it, don't mention these things. Do you know what the international semiconductor industry is like now? Those things are no longer up to date. If you throw them into the international market, I don't think anyone would want them even if they were sold for 10 million yuan."

Li Qingfeng criticized those things as worthless, but in fact it was not the case.

Although domestic equipment and patents are more than two generations behind international technology, if you pick and choose, you can still find some good stuff that is worth some money, and a small number of them can be considered advanced.

"You little bastard, what a load of bullshit, no one wants it even at 10 million, even if you sell it as scrap metal or waste paper, you can still get 10 million."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can talk, but why are you still cursing?"

"I'm just calling you a little bastard, what can you do about it?"

"I won't argue with you, old man. 40% is impossible anyway. I'll give you 30% at most."

"It's just 40%, even 1% less is not enough, at worst we can just break up"

After some bargaining, it was finally decided that Lemon Company would hold 65% of the shares of the new company, and the Ministry of Commerce would hold 35%. (End of this chapter)
