Reborn in the red age

"Hey, Brother Mou, I haven't seen you for a few months. Your aura is even stronger than it was a few months ago."

Sitting in the newly built office building of Huaxin's factory, Li Qingfeng stood up, shook hands with Mou Qizhong enthusiastically, and led him to sit on the sofa.

Hearing the sarcasm in Qingfeng Li's words, Mou Qizhong didn't care and said carelessly: "Brother Li, your factory is well built. However, I have been in business for many years and have some experience in business. I want to remind you."

"Oh? Please give me some advice, bro."

"Brother, there is no future in building a factory and starting a business. Look at all the factories in the country. How many of them are doing well? You can't make much money in a year. You'd better do trade."

At this point, Mou Qizhong paused, his face flushed with excitement, and his tone became three points higher: "Brother, you also know the situation this time. When those planes are shipped to China, the profit will be at least more than 100 million, and the cost is only a few million."

"How much investment and scale do you need to make this much profit from running a factory? Brother, there is no future for industry and manufacturing. You should just work with me."

Listening to Mou Qizhong's sermon, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Fuck it, it was me who came up with the idea of ​​exchanging canned food for airplanes, and you're already teaching me a lesson before I even get the profit."

Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, Li Qingfeng still nodded in agreement.

Now Mou Qizhong is about to reach the highlight moment of his life, and his mentality is already a little bit like "the best in the world, I'm the best".

There is no point in arguing with him at this time. He won't listen and it will end up in an unpleasant situation. The barter of the automobile factory in the Northeast still depends on Mou Qizhong's mediation. There is no point in having an unpleasant situation with him now.

When Mou Qizhong saw Li Qingfeng nodding in agreement, he became even more excited and persuaded Li Qingfeng to give up the physical factory and take out the money to launch a satellite with him.

Li Qingfeng was also very interested in the satellite launch. He ignored his advice to sell the factory and simply talked about the satellite launch.

I have to say that Mou Qizhong has a very creative mind, and the business plan he proposed is highly feasible. Not to mention blowing up the Himalayas, but launching a satellite is definitely a very reliable thing.

Mou Qizhong proposed to first invest in launching a live TV satellite to test the waters. If the plan is feasible, then launch several more satellites to provide live broadcast services to TV stations around the world.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng didn't show any excitement after listening to his plan, Mu Qizhong said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why, does Brother Li also think that I am bragging? Don't believe it?"

"That's not the case. I think this is a very good project," Qingfeng Li explained, shaking his head slowly.

"Oh? Why don't you react? Do you think Big Brother won't help me launch a satellite?"

"I think your plan is too small. What's the point of launching a live TV satellite to provide services to TV stations? If you want to do it on a larger scale, launch 10,000 or 20,000 low-orbit satellites to form a Starlink constellation to occupy the entire low-altitude sky and provide communication services to everyone in the world."

"."

Mou Qizhong smacked his lips, thinking that Li Qingfeng was even more deceptive than himself. He only dared to think of launching a live broadcast satellite, and then selling it to international TV stations that had demand, making some profit in the middle.

They start with 10,000 or 20,000 satellites, occupying the entire low-altitude orbit. The pattern is quite different.

After hesitating for a long time, Mou Qizhong did not continue talking about the satellite launch, but continued to talk with Li Qingfeng about exchanging canned food for airplanes.

"My plan is to ship goods from both places at the same time. They will send a plane over, and I will send a truck of leather goods over at the same time to create a time difference. After the plane arrives, I will go to the bank to mortgage it immediately and get a sum of money in my hand. Then, while negotiating with Sichuan Airlines about selling the plane, I will slowly ship the goods."

"This idea is correct. My only reminder is that when you mortgage an airplane to a bank, don't overvalue it. Otherwise, it will be easy to be accused of defrauding state funds," Li Qingfeng offered his suggestion.

Mou Qizhong nodded and said, "Of course. I've been to jail twice, so I know how to take risks. When I plan to mortgage my property, I only ask the bank to mortgage me 50% of the value. I won't take more than that."

After the two of them discussed the next specific steps in detail, that evening, Li Qingfeng treated them to a dinner at the most luxurious Wangfu Hotel in the city.

Wangfu Hotel opened in 89 with a total investment of million US dollars. When it opened last year, the luxurious interior decoration shocked the entire city, surpassing Kunlun Hotel to become the most luxurious and high-end place in the city.

"Oh, it's a waste of money, it's a waste of money. We brothers don't care about this. Let's just find a restaurant to eat." Standing at the entrance of Wangfu Hotel, Mou Qi Zhong took Li Qingfeng's hand and said hypocritically.

Li Qingfeng pursed his lips, said a few polite words, and pulled Mou Qizhong towards the hotel.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Before they even entered the door, Li Qingfeng and the others were stopped and asked if Li Qingfeng had an appointment.

After being stopped, Qingfeng Li was stunned. He had never eaten here before and didn't know that one had to make a reservation to eat here.

"We don't have a reservation. Excuse me, can't we eat here without a reservation?"

"Yes, our restaurant is reservation-based. Guests need to make a reservation to dine in our restaurant."

This was a bit of a dilemma. Li Qingfeng had not made any reservations in advance and just wanted people to come over to eat. However, who knew that this crappy restaurant required reservations only. Without a reservation, one could not even get in.

Normally it’s not too bad, if you can’t get in you can just eat somewhere else. But today we’re treating you to a meal, if you really can’t get in, it would be really embarrassing.

Just as Li Qingfeng was about to negotiate with the waiter again, Liu Guangmin, who had come to eat with him and was also his assistant, stepped forward and said with a cold face, "Why? Do we, a foreign company, need to make an appointment to eat at this shabby restaurant of yours?"

Hearing the words "foreign company", the waiter was stunned. He didn't care about the other party's address, but kept smiling and asked: "Which company are you an employee of? Do you have any ID?"

"Humph"

Liu Guangmin snorted coldly, took out the employee ID card of Lemon Company headquarters and threw it directly to the other party.

When the other party checked his ID, Liu Guangmin kept talking and said arrogantly: "We are from Hong Kong Lemon Company, one of the best software manufacturers in the world, with annual turnover of billions of dollars and branches all over the world. We come to your small shabby restaurant to eat to give you face, and you are putting on airs in front of me."

Liu Guangmin's actions were indeed a bit arrogant, and Li Qingfeng even suspected that the waiter would chase him away. However, what Li Qingfeng did not expect was that after checking the ID, the waiter did not show any anger at Liu Guangmin's arrogant words, but respectfully invited several people in and even arranged a private room for them.

After ordering the dishes and waiting for the waiter to leave, Liu Guangmin smiled and explained to Li Qingfeng: "Teacher, you don't often come to this kind of place to eat, you don't know..."

"They are just looking down on others. They treat Chinese people one way and foreigners another. As long as a Western-looking person comes over, the waiter will greet him from a distance and will not even mention the reservation."

"But if a Chinese person wants to come in to eat, we first ask if he has a reservation. If he doesn't have a reservation, he won't be allowed in no matter what. To deal with such a person, we must first show our attitude and give him a good scolding, and then he will behave himself."

After listening to Liu Guangmin's explanation, Qingfeng Li nodded in understanding, and then added: "The most important thing is to have a foreign company, or a foreigner's skin. If you show your work permit for a state-owned enterprise, they will probably just kick you out."

"Teacher, that's a good idea," Liu Guangmin smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The little episode just now did not attract much attention from several people. After the food came, everyone started to chat while eating, and all they talked about were what Mou Qizhong had seen and heard in Moscow over the past few months.

After listening to Mou Qizhong's story, several people who didn't know the situation on Big Brother's side were all filled with emotion. They didn't understand how the huge Big Brother could suddenly become like this.

Both the host and the guests had a great time during the meal. When the meal was over, the drunk Mou Qizhong hugged Li Qingfeng's neck and insisted on becoming sworn brothers with Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng was left in a state of confusion, and only with the help of Liu Guangmin and other young people, the two were finally separated.

In the next few days, Mou Qizhong jumped up and down in the city, trying to find this relationship and that relationship. Finally, it was Li Qingfeng who took action and, with the help of Sichuan Airlines, he finally got the import permit for the aircraft.

With the approval of the plane, the next step is to go to Moscow to formally sign the contract, and then both parties will ship the goods and exchange the agreed materials.

After obtaining the import permit, Mou Qizhong enthusiastically invited Li Qingfeng to go to Moscow to witness the birth of the largest barter transaction in history.

Li Qingfeng wanted to go over and take a look, but thinking of his own situation, he declined Mou Qizhong's invitation and sent Zhang Yapeng to urge the big brother to speed up the progress of the entire automobile industry.

After seeing off Mou Qizhong and Zhang Yapeng at the train station again, Hu Jiabao asked Li Qingfeng as soon as he got home, "Is the canned food-for-plane deal true? Did Mou Qizhong go to Moscow this time to sign a formal contract with them?"

"Of course. Didn't you say this was a fantasy and told me to just go to bed? Now that it's done, you feel slapped in the face, right?" Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at Hu Jiabao with pride.

Hu Jiabao rolled his eyes at Li Qingfeng and said unconvincedly, "Virtue, whether the plane can come back or not is still to be determined."

"Doctor Xiao Hu, stop deceiving yourself. The plane incident is a done deal. Do you think it's fun to deceive yourself like this?"

"It's just empty talk now. Let's wait until the plane lands at our airport."

After saying this, Hu Jiabao said nothing more to Li Qingfeng. He used the excuse of helping Xiao Cai cook and quickly went into the kitchen and never came out again.

Seeing that Hu Jiabao felt guilty, Li Qingfeng did not continue to ask questions. He smiled and shrugged, then went into the study to busy himself with his own things.

This time, Big Brother's trip returned very quickly. In just half a month, Mou Qizhong and his party returned home from Moscow.

Along with them came a group of genuine Russians, who were responsible for supervising the shipment of Mou Qi Zhong and also contacting Li Qingfeng with orders to negotiate the transaction of a complete set of automotive equipment.

Li Qingfeng was not in a hurry to contact them. A project worth tens of billions of US dollars was far from comparable to just a few planes.

Now both parties are still in the stage of mutual worry. Without the smooth completion of the first transaction and the establishment of a solid foundation of trust between the two parties, subsequent matters cannot be discussed at all.

After the contract was officially signed in Moscow, Mou Zhexi quickly took out five million in cash from the account of the Nan De Company, swept through the inventory of all factories around the old city, and quickly gathered the first batch of supplies to be sent to Moscow.

The quantity of traded goods was too large, and domestic freight to the big brother was limited. Mou Qizhong only applied for a batch of freight trains. One freight train could carry at most 5 to 10 million tons of goods.

The supplies worth 400 million will take at least several years to be distributed in batches. Five million is enough to leverage this 400 million transaction. Exchanging canned food for airplanes is definitely a good deal.

For Mou Qizhong, the most important thing is the transaction of the first batch of goods. As long as Moscow sends a plane according to the terms of the contract, there will be no problem with the funds for the subsequent purchase of materials.

Standing in the warehouse rented by Mou Qizhong in Beijing, Li Qingfeng scanned Mou Qizhong's first batch of goods list and said jokingly, "Old Mou, you are really smart. The first batch of goods is just some bulky and worthless thermos liner. At least give them some valuable things."

"My funds are not limited. If I exchange them all for valuable things, I will have financial pressure." Mou Zhexi waved his hand nonchalantly, not paying any attention to Li Qingfeng's ridicule.

"What did the Russian inspection team say? Most of the goods you shipped were thermos bottles. Do you have any problem with that?"

"That's not true. They are short of everything right now. They can't even produce thermos liner. But any light industrial product is a good thing for the Russians."

Li Qingfeng nodded and stopped teasing. Instead, he looked at the goods in each warehouse with great interest.

Five million tons of goods filled up several large warehouses, which was quite shocking to see.

While touring the warehouse, Qingfeng Li casually asked about the transaction: "When are you going to start the transaction?"

"Let's wait for the Sichuan Airlines people to come over. Without them, I can't fly the plane from Moscow."

Hearing the word Sichuan Airlines, Qingfeng Li asked curiously, "Let me ask, an airplane costs 100 million yuan, how much do you plan to sell it to Sichuan Airlines for?"

"We offered 200 million yuan to let them bargain, and the psychological price was between 140 million and 150 million yuan."
