Reborn in the red age

"Thank you, Teacher Li. Thank you for your contribution to rural students. It is not easy for rural students to go to school."

"You may not know that I have been a teacher in the countryside for so many years. Every time I see a student give up their studies due to family reasons, I feel so sad."

When the old principal of Xiawei Township Junior High School learned about the content of Li Qingfeng's donation, tears immediately fell from his eyes. He held Li Qingfeng's hand and cried inconsolably.

Watching the old principal crying, Qingfeng Li admired in his heart that this gray-haired principal was a good principal who cared about his students.

When he had almost finished crying, Qingfeng Li took his hand and asked, "Principal Wang, is there anything else you need help with at school? If so, please let me know and I will try my best to help you solve it."

"No, no, you are already spending a lot of money to help rural students pay for their tuition and provide free meals. Our school lacks books and teaching materials, and there is a shortage of teachers. The school will find a way to overcome this problem. We cannot let you spend any more money."

"."

Well, this old principal was also a wonderful person. On one hand, he said that Li Qingfeng should not spend any more money, but on the other hand, he told him about the difficulties of the school.

Whether the difficulties can be solved or not depends on you, Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng is not a errand boy. He has already spent a lot of money, so the small amount of money for buying books is nothing. It is supporting the education of his hometown, so it is worth it no matter how much money he spends.

At that time, he waved his hand and said generously: "I can't solve the problem of teaching staff, but the problem of books is not a big problem. So, when I go back, I will contact Xinhua Bookstore and purchase a batch of books and teaching materials from there and have them deliver them to me."

"This, this, this"

"Okay, Principal Wang, stop talking. It's not just your school that has them. I'll send a batch to all the rural schools in Dongming."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Li. On behalf of all the teachers and students of Dongming, I bow to you."

On the way back from Xiawei Township, Hu Jiabao was influenced by Wang Xiaomi and was in a bad mood. He didn't say much on the way and kept staring at the wheat fields outside the window.

After politely declining the county leader's invitation to dinner, Li Qingfeng and his wife returned home.

At this time, everyone in the family was there, and the eldest brother, who had been working overtime, also rushed over with his eldest sister-in-law and his wife.

When Li Qingfeng's mother Hong Xingying saw him coming back, the first thing she asked was, "Old Third, besides agreeing to pay for the rural students' tuition and meals, what other conditions did you agree to?"

“Well, I’ve added a few more items,” Qingfeng Li said awkwardly, touching his nose.

Hong Xingying was not surprised at all, and said expressionlessly: "Well, you are exactly like your father. You have money in your hands, so you just spend it lavishly outside without considering the future at all."

"Mom, look at what you said. There is nothing to consider in the future. I have inquired about the lemon company of the third brother. It is a no-cost business and it earns foreign exchange. It makes billions of US dollars every year. They are not short of this little money." Boss Li helped to smooth things over.

Hong Xingying rolled her eyes at her eldest son and said nothing.

Ever since she heard yesterday that Li Qingfeng was going to be in charge of the tuition fees for all students in the county, Hong Xingying had raised her objection.

In Hong Xingying's opinion, nothing lasts forever. Li Qingfeng has indeed made a lot of money now, but it is impossible to make money forever in business.

I think that Li Qingfeng should just donate some money to the county school. He shouldn't promise such a thing without even a deadline. Doesn't this mean he will have to keep donating?

It's OK now when we are making a lot of money. There are not many students in the whole county. It's okay to pay a few dollars per person for tuition. It's not a big deal. What if business is not good in the future? Should we continue to pay this money?

Keep giving. Your wallet can't take it. If you stop donating, won't the people in the county say he doesn't keep his word? Who knows what they'll say?

Li Qingfeng understood what Li's mother meant, he just smiled and said nothing.

Hu Jiabao on the side said, "Mom, I asked Qingfeng to add these extra conditions. You don't know that it is too difficult for rural children to go to school. I was soft-hearted for a moment, so I begged Qingfeng to do it."

"Okay, you don't have to cover for her. I know my son well. He is a soft-hearted and generous man. Even if you don't say it, he will do the same as others if they act pitifully." Hong Xingying glanced at Hu Jiabao and said lightly.

“You are smart”

Li Qingfeng grinned and gave Li's mother a thumbs up.

Zheng Lili, the eldest sister-in-law standing by, saw that the matter was successfully concluded, and hurried in to invite everyone to eat, and asked them to talk at the table if they had anything to say, otherwise the food would get cold.

During the meal, Li's father pretended to speak and coughed, then began to praise Li Qingfeng for his contributions to students across the county, which brought honor to the Li family and gave them a good reputation throughout the county.

What Mr. Li said was very good, but no one listened to him. The family should eat and drink as usual, but apart from a nod from time to time, no one agreed with him.

At the dinner table, Boss Li patted Qingfeng Li on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Third brother, I am very happy that you support the education of our county. However, I have a suggestion for you. It is best not to give money directly to the school. Find someone to buy it in kind and send it to the school. Otherwise, who knows whether this money will reach the students' mouths."

"I know exactly what kind of people they are. I don't trust the people in the county except you."

“Just keep it in mind.”

"Don't worry, I've got it all figured out." Li Qingfeng put down his bowl, turned to look at Li's mother and said, "Mom, didn't I set up a special education fund? I plan to let you manage the money. It won't take much effort. Talk to the vendors and have them deliver vegetables and meat to school every day. And by the way, monitor the school to see if there's any corruption."

When Li's mother, who was having dinner, heard that Li Qingfeng wanted to manage the fund himself, she was stunned and pointed at herself in disbelief: "Me? I'm a retired old lady, how can I do it?"

"Why not? It's just buying some vegetables and taking care of someone. You can definitely do it," Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

The sister-in-law next to him also agreed: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. The performance of our unit is not good. If you are too busy, I will help you."

The elder brother and Hu Jiabao beside him also thought this was a good idea and started to join the persuasion team.

With the persuasion of her son and daughter-in-law, Li's mother gradually gained confidence and felt that she could give it a try.

It’s not a big deal, just buying vegetables and taking care of someone, things I do regularly.

After a little thought, Li's mother accepted the task and promised that she would manage the money well and use it for its intended purpose, and would never let the corrupt elements get a penny.

With Li's mother's promise to look after the education fund at home, Li Qingfeng felt much more relieved. After dinner in the evening, he took Li Lao Da to the living room and told Li's mother a lot of the inside stories.

After completing the education funding investigation, Li Qingfeng did not stay in his hometown for long and prepared to return to Sijiu City tomorrow.

After all, the first grade of junior high school has started, and she has been taking leave to delay her studies, even though her grades have no room for improvement.
Early the next morning, after the county leaders learned that Li Qingfeng was leaving, they went to the train station to see him off in person, and used their privileges to buy four soft sleeper tickets in a compartment for Li Qingfeng.

On the platform, Li Qingfeng took the soft sleeper ticket handed over by Zhao Hao and solemnly assured: "Secretary Zhao, don't worry, when I return to Sijiucheng, I will transfer the donation to our county to the county's bank account."

"."

The train arrived safely at Sijiucheng Railway Station. Sun Aidang, who had been notified, was already waiting on the platform.

When he saw Li Qingfeng and his family getting off the train, he immediately went to greet them and took the heavy luggage from Hu Jiabao.

On the way out with the luggage, Sun Kangmei said, "Brother, the city leaders asked the company yesterday when you would be back. They want to meet with you. Do you want to see them?"

"Not for now. I don't know how many leaders I've met in the past two days. Now I don't want to see even the most powerful person. Let me rest for two days before we talk." Li Qingfeng now has a headache when he mentions the word "leader". He waved his hand impatiently and asked them to wait.

"Okay, I'll tell the people at the company after I send you home."

"Besides the city leaders, are there any other people who want to see me?" "Then there are too many. You haven't been in Beijing recently, so you don't know. Since your interview was reported in the news, the door of our company's domestic office has been trampled by people who want to visit you."

"Ask the company to make a visitor list for me tomorrow. I'll take a look at it first."

"Ok"

The car returned smoothly to Li Qingfeng's home in Sijiu City. Cai Genhua had come back from her hometown after the Lantern Festival and cleaned the house in advance.

Li Qingfeng has been very busy in the past month or so. He has been either flying or taking the train. He is exhausted both physically and mentally.

After returning to his familiar home, Li Qingfeng stretched out his body, told Hu Jiabao to call him when it was time for dinner, and then threw himself directly onto the soft big bed. Soon, he began to snore softly.

Hu Jiabao packed up the clothes in the luggage, and seeing that Li Qingfeng had fallen asleep, he gently covered him with the quilt. He took out the note with the bank account number from Li Qingfeng's clothes, and then took out the family passbook. He tiptoed, closed the door gently, and left the bedroom.

"Xiao Cai, I'm going to go out and do something. You stay at home and play with the kids for a while."

"Okay, Mr. Hu, please go out. I'm at home."

Taking advantage of the fact that the bank was still open, Hu Jiabao drove his family car to a nearby bank branch and remitted the donation and education fund he had promised to the county.

The next day after returning to the old city, the whole family went to work and school.

Those who are not working or going to school are not idle either. Starting from noon, they keep meeting with people, first the old leaders of the school, and then the leaders of the city.

For several days in a row, every day he was either in the car or at the wine table, which made Li Qingfeng very depressed. He kept sighing that his idle life was about to disappear.

Two things were finalized during this meeting with the top leader. One was to set up the Chinese headquarters of Lemon Company, which would be located in Zhongguancun in the old city of Beijing. The global headquarters would still be in Hong Kong.

It’s not that Li Qingfeng doesn’t want to move the company back to China completely, but he doesn’t dare to go back.

After all, there were a lot of "Grandpa, which company do I want?" in the 1990s.
It's unlikely that this kind of thing will happen to Qingfeng Li, but one should still be on guard and try to avoid it before it happens. If someone in the second or third generation really gets crazy and insists on taking Qingfeng Li's company, it will be difficult to resolve the issue at that time.

The second thing is the domestic operation of Li Qingfeng's companies. Not to mention the products of the Lemon Company and the Chip Company, there are no competing products in the country, and they are 100% government procurement products.

The focus is on the automobile factory that is about to be established. The leaders said that they will give it special attention. As long as the car's cost-effectiveness is acceptable, the country will designate the cars produced by the automobile factory as the government's unified procurement vehicles.

This is very important. How did German cars remain popular in China? In addition to being the first to enter the domestic market, another reason is their status as official cars.

For example, Audi and Passat, even in 2020, some people still think that they are symbols of official cars.

This incident is enough to prove how much of a brand impression an official car can leave in the minds of ordinary people.

"Brother Li, long time no see. We met again after our last separation. You gave me a big surprise. Even the leader asked for your opinion. I'm so envious of you, brother."

In the office of Lemon Company, Li Qingfeng met Mou Qizhong who came to visit him on his own initiative.

"What surprise or not? Brother, you gave me a surprise. When did I say that I would cooperate with you to launch satellites on Big Brother's side? You also told reporters that you would launch 10,000 to 20,000 low-orbit satellites to form a Starlink to occupy the entire low altitude and provide mobile communication services to all mankind." Li Qingfeng hugged Mou Qizhong speechlessly and said unhappily.

Not long after the news about Li Qingfeng appeared, Mou Qizhong started bragging to the reporters again, and even involved himself.

The shocking news about the Starlink project shocked the whole of China and caused a lot of uproar. Many people were discussing this matter during that time.

As soon as the Starlink project came out, gossipy reporters immediately gave the two the title of "China's Gemini" and publicized it in newspapers.

Li Qingfeng refused to accept this title. How could Lao Mou, a big liar, be compared with his buddies?

My buddy is definitely the 'world's single star', and the most dazzling one in the world.

Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Mu Qizhong was surprised: "You forgot, just two days before the canned food was successfully exchanged for the plane, in your office, I persuaded you to cooperate in launching a satellite, and you said that it was meaningless to launch a single heading satellite, and if we were to launch, we should launch 10,000 or 20,000 satellites."

"Forehead"

After recalling, Li Qingfeng remembered that day when Mou Qizhong boasted to him about launching a satellite. How could Li Qingfeng let Mou Qizhong beat him, so he proposed the Starlink project which was later known as Musk's.

After remembering this, Qingfeng Li smiled awkwardly: "That was just a discussion, not even a project plan. Why did you tell the reporter about it?"

"Why keep such a thrilling project hidden? Telling it to the public can definitely boost the morale of the Chinese people."

Li Qingfeng curled his lips. What a bullshit to boost the morale of the countrymen. It's just to make it easier for you to attract attention.

What a fucking histrionic personality.

Not wanting to argue with Mou Qizhong about this, Li Qingfeng made him a cup of tea and then asked about the purpose of his visit.

Mou Qizhong slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "What else can it be for? Of course, it is to implement the satellite launch project. Big Brother's economy is getting more and more difficult. Now as long as you pay, they will sell everything. It is a good opportunity for us brothers to launch a satellite."

After hearing this guy's purpose in looking for him, Li Qingfeng sprayed the tea in his mouth directly, almost spraying it on Mou Qizhong's face.

This guy is really acting on impulse, without any plan at all. How many planes have you exchanged for? You want to launch a satellite. Do you have the money to launch a satellite?
"Brother, brother, don't be so excited. I know time is tight, but opportunities are fleeting. Big Brother's financial situation can't always be so difficult. Things will get better one day. If we don't seize the opportunity now, there will be no such good opportunity in the future."

"Forget it. My fleet for the automobile production line is still on the way, and the locomotive factory has not yet been built. I really don't have time to work with you on this satellite launch project. Why don't you look for someone else? Look for your former partners."

Mou Qizhong curled his lips, showing his disdain for them: "Why look for them? That group of people has no vision. I persuaded them to come and trade canned food for airplanes with me. What did they say? They said that trading canned food for airplanes is unreliable and a joke. They also advised me not to do trade and to do real estate. Real estate is the only thing that can make money. Don't you think this is nonsense?"

Um, this makes it difficult to comment.

People who are often reborn know that in the next thirty years, real estate will be the most profitable business in the country.

For several years in a row, those real estate tycoons have taken turns to become the richest man in China.

Although it collapsed in the end and everything was in a mess, no one can deny the glory of the real estate market before the collapse.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng was silent, Mou Qizhong thought that Li Qingfeng was also optimistic about the real estate industry, and hurriedly persuaded him with great sorrow: "Brother, you must not be short-sighted. The real estate industry is really not good. It is too passive to exchange money for bricks and cement and throw them on the ground. You can only make big money by doing trade."

"You misunderstood. I am not interested in real estate or trade. I am in science and technology and am only interested in science and technology and industry." After giving Mou Qizhong a complicated look, Li Qingfeng said slowly.

Anyone with a little economic acumen can see that real estate is bound to take off in the next few years. However, in Lao Mou's eyes, such a promising project was fraught with dangers. No wonder this guy ended up in such a miserable state. He just didn't have the good business acumen.

Under Mou Qizhong's questioning, Li Qingfeng gave a vague answer that they would discuss the satellite launch project after the automobile factory was established.

After getting Li Qingfeng's answer on the satellite project and having a meal at Li Qingfeng's place at noon, Mou Qizhong left the Lemon Company's office happily.

Looking at the old man's back as he left, Li Qingfeng decided to stay away from him in the future. This guy has too much of a rough and tumble vibe, and he was a warlord from the 1980s and 1990s. He was not the same kind of person as himself.

Another most important point is that this guy is a bit thick-skinned. He only cooperated once for mutual benefit and it did not involve any project, but he came to me to discuss a big project worth tens of millions of dollars.

When he gets into trouble, he will be blocked at his door to ask for money. (End of this chapter)
