Reborn in the red age

After sending Mou Zonghong away, Li Qingfeng, a national celebrity, did not have any free time.

It was either an invitation for an interview here or an invitation for a speech there. Most of them came through Peking University. They were either former classmates or teachers, or former colleagues. Since they were all acquaintances, it was impossible to refuse them, which made Li Qingfeng very annoyed.

In addition to the academic community, government departments also joined in the fun. My hometown was the most active, with the provincial government coming first and then the city government taking turns to come.

Fortunately, the provincial and municipal leaders had some shame and did not ask for donations directly. Instead, they begged Li Qingfeng, an international capitalist, to invest in building a factory in his hometown, or to help the state-owned enterprises in his hometown export their products.

It is very normal these days for wealthy people to give back to their hometowns, and Li Qingfeng did not refuse those reasonable requests.

After giving Wang Weimin a heads-up, he invested in building a DVD player factory in the provincial capital, and instructed the Hong Kong headquarters to ask Lu Fusheng of the Pengcheng game console factory to come to the mainland to set up a branch factory.

The investments in the two factories have been finalized and the province has been given an explanation. As for the export of products, Li Qingfeng really has no way out of it, after all, he is not involved in foreign trade.

After finally settling the matter in his hometown, Hu Jiabao just returned home. When he was going to bed at night, he said attentively: "Qingfeng, I have been studying Chinese medicine recently. I learned two-hand massage from the old Chinese medicine doctor in our school. You have been working hard recently. Can I give you a massage?"

"Ok?"

Putting down the book in his hand, looking at Hu Jiabao who was extremely attentive tonight, Li Qingfeng touched his chin and asked in confusion: "Does your school have a subject called Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"You're looking down on me, aren't you? Our school is so big, can't we find a Chinese medicine doctor?" Hu Jiabao pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Well, since you are willing to do so, I will try your cooking skills with all my strength."

As he spoke, Qingfeng Li put the book aside, turned over and lay face down on the soft big bed, waiting for Hu Jiabao's service.

Seeing Li Qingfeng taking advantage of him, Hu Jiabao secretly gritted his teeth, sat astride Li Qingfeng's waist, and took the initiative to provide massage services to Li Qingfeng.

"Use some force, it's so light, if you hadn't told me it was a massage, I would have thought it was kneading dough."

Hu Jiabao was angry, but his hands followed Li Qingfeng's request and added a bit of strength.

"This is the right intensity. Keep it up."

"Yes, yes, I now believe that your school has Chinese medicine."

At the end of the 30-minute massage, Hu Jiabao exhaled slightly and asked shyly, "Are you comfortable?"

"good"

"Then I have something to tell you."

"I knew it was like this." Li Qingfeng moved sideways to stop Hu Jiabao's action, and said with a smile: "Just tell me what you want to say. We are an old married couple, there is no need to do this."

"My dad called me today. An old classmate of his who works in our city found our home and wanted to invite you to visit Gusu. My dad couldn't refuse for the sake of face, so he agreed to help ask."

After listening to Hu Jiabao's story, Li Qingfeng was speechless.

Well, after the news of the investment in the three inland cities of Sijiucheng, Hacheng and Quancheng spread, there were countless other cities that wanted to invite Li Qingfeng to invest, and the Lemon Company office received a thick stack of invitation letters from local governments.

Other cities may not give face, but Suzhou cannot. After all, it is Hu Jiabao's hometown, so they have to invest a little. However, Li Qingfeng has no idea what to invest in.

Gusu is not like Quancheng. Although Gusu is just a small prefecture-level city, its economy is at the forefront of the country at that time and is much stronger than the capitals of inland provinces.

The two factories in Quancheng can be dealt with, but the ones in Gusu are really not possible.

At this time, Suzhou had taken the lead in completing the industrial transformation from agriculture to industry. In this small prefecture-level city, there were more than 20,000 township enterprises and over one million employees. As early as the late 1980s, the average monthly income per capita in Suzhou city had exceeded 100 million yuan.

The economically strong group cannot be dealt with by one or two small factories.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng didn't answer, Hu Jiabao didn't want to embarrass her man, so she said, "If you feel embarrassed, forget it. You don't have to worry about my dad's face. We don't have a particularly good relationship anyway. We haven't been in touch for many years."

"No, no, no. We still have to maintain my father-in-law's reputation outside. I don't find it difficult. I just don't know what to invest in Gusu. Our family is not engaged in industry, so there are not so many factories to build." Li Qingfeng knew that Hu Jiabao had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

"That's still a dilemma. I'm investing in Gusu for my dad's sake. What if I lose money? You don't have to worry about it. I'll call my mom tomorrow to explain the situation. Don't worry, my dad won't have any objections to you as long as my mom is here."

"Don't worry, you won't lose money even if you invest casually. Your Gusu is developing very well economically. Just invest some money there and buy some land. Even if the factory loses money, as long as the land is still there, you can not only earn back all the money you lost, but also make a lot of money."

Hu Jiabao looked at Li Qingfeng in confusion: "Really? You are not lying to me by saying nice things, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? Domestic real estate is about to take off. Look, the current housing prices in Beijing are over 1,000 yuan, and they are about to rise. In the next 20 to 30 years, it is not an exaggeration to say that good properties in Beijing will sell for over 100,000 yuan."

"Hiss~ If what you said is true, will there be any way for ordinary people to survive in the future?"

"Why do you worry so much? This is the general trend. Just make sure you are not an ordinary citizen."

"."

After thinking all night, Li Qingfeng still couldn't figure out what project he could do in Gusu. He couldn't invest in real estate, right?

Now that Li Qingfeng was asked to engage in real estate, he felt that it was a bit of a lowering of his status.

Li Qingfeng had no idea for the moment, so he simply gave up thinking about it and decided to wait until he had time to meet with the Gusu government.

As for now, Li Qingfeng doesn't have the time, as the automotive industrial equipment drifting on the sea is about to arrive at the port.

Qingfeng Li wanted to personally check out such a large project. "Teacher Li, in addition to the industrial equipment, there is also a team of more than 300 mechanical engineers sent by the Russians. They will help us install the production line and leave."

Standing at the dock of Dalian Port, Zhang Yapeng, who had been coordinating with the local government in Harbin, briefed Li Qingfeng on the Russian fleet that was about to arrive.

Upon hearing about the team of more than 300 engineers that came with the ship, Li Qingfeng was deeply moved by the generous gift from the Russians.

Knowing that you lack professional talents, we have specially sent you more than 300 people to enrich your talent pool.

Not bad, not bad, what a good deal.

"You must make good arrangements for this team of more than 300 engineers. Provide them with the best treatment, good food and drink, and don't let them work for nothing. Although Moscow pays them, we should also show some appreciation by giving each of them 500 US dollars or 1,000 RMB per month as living expenses."

"Five hundred dollars per person, one thousand RMB? Isn't this a bit too much? They won't stay in the country for long before they are recalled by Moscow. Our bribery is useless."

Recalled by Moscow? Li Qingfeng's mouth curled up slightly. When the production line is assembled and started running, Moscow will be gone. Who will recall them?
As long as they were given enough money and could stay in China to enjoy a life of luxury, Qingfeng Li believed that few people would be willing to return to China to live a frugal life. These people were destined to never return to Moscow.

"It's okay, just do as I say, I know what I'm doing."

"All right"

Seeing Qingfeng Li's firm attitude, Zhang Yapeng said nothing more, nodded, and promised to carry out Li Qingfeng's request.

Soon, a huge transport fleet appeared on the sea surface of Dalian Port. The pilots in the port quickly went out of the port to board the ships and lead the ships into the port.

After the first cargo ship entered the port, more than 300 engineers got off the ship first. Zhang Yapeng took his men on board and talked with the other party in fluent Russian.

After some greetings, Zhang Yapeng led a middle-aged bearded man to Li Qingfeng and introduced him to him: "Teacher Li, this is Mr. Kirill, the head of the engineering team."

"Hello, welcome to China"

Qingfeng Li shook hands with Kirill enthusiastically and showed off a very standard Russian sentence.

Kirill listened to Qingfeng Li's standard Russian and immediately spoke a lot of Russian, enthusiastically wanting to hug Qingfeng Li.

"Er Yapeng, translate, what did this guy say?"

Li Qingfeng didn't know any Russian at all, he only knew that one sentence, which he learned on the way here.
"Well, Kirill said that they are experiencing unprecedented difficulties at this time. The one billion yuan worth of supplies we exchanged with them has alleviated the shortage of supplies in Moscow. Thank you very much for your help to Moscow."

After listening to Zhang Yapeng's translation, Li Qingfeng grinned: "Haha, after being thanked by the Russians like this, I thought we had lost money on this deal. Obviously, we got a big advantage, and they are still thanking us."

"From the perspective of the Russians, we did help them, and we can accept their thanks with peace of mind. After all, these things are just a pile of waste to the Russians. They can't be eaten or worn, and are far less practical than supplies."

"That makes sense. When you get back, you can try to persuade those Russians. There are a lot of good things over there. See if there is any good technology or equipment in their automobile industry that we can use, and exchange it all for them with materials."

"I will do this after I settle them down. I will take this opportunity to plunder Moscow's automotive industry technology."

The two men bullied Kirill for not understanding Chinese, and in front of Kirill, they talked and laughed about how to continue to fleece Moscow.

Kirill, who didn't understand Chinese, saw the two of them laughing. He didn't understand what was going on, so he also grinned and laughed foolishly.

The fleet was too large. It would take at least a month or two to unload the cargo. Li Qingfeng and the others would not wait foolishly at the port.

After arranging the unloading of the ship at the port, Li Qingfeng and more than 300 engineers from Moscow took a train to Harbin.

Harbin City attached great importance to the automobile factory established within its jurisdiction. After receiving the news that the automobile factory's personnel were about to return and lacked vehicles for personnel transportation, it quickly arranged several imported buses to go to the railway station and arranged for leaders who were familiar with Li Qingfeng to greet them at the railway station.

Standing in front of the Hino RC bus sent by Harbin City, Li Qingfeng said with emotion to Mayor Han who was holding his hand tightly, "Oh, it's really too much trouble for you. You even lent the foreign affairs bus to our factory to pick up people. I don't know what to say."

Hino RC was the most luxurious bus in China in the 1980s and 1990s. It was imported from Japan in large quantities and was used as a special bus for diplomatic receptions and foreign tour groups traveling to China.

"Teacher Li has brought such a large investment to our Harbin city and provided tens of thousands of jobs. This is what our government should do for such a small matter," Mayor Han said with a smile.

Looking at the smile that had never faded since he met Li Qingfeng, Li Qingfeng recalled the first time he met Mayor Han.

At that time, this big boss was still putting on airs and was unwilling to speak up in person to solicit investment. He just instructed a group of subordinates to send him off.

It has only been a few years. When Li Qingfeng was still on the train, this person was already waiting on the platform.

Instructing Zhang Yapeng to take these Russian engineers back to the factory, Li Qingfeng took Mayor Han's special car to the Harbin Government Building to accept interviews from reporters.
Ever since Li Qingfeng's name first appeared in the news, he instantly became the top star of this era and the object of worship for countless Chinese people.

No matter what he did, all kinds of media would rush to report it, and accepting interviews had become a common occurrence for Qingfeng Li.

It was because information was not well developed in those days, and most televisions were still in black and white, so not many people recognized Li Qingfeng when he walked on the street. Otherwise, Li Qingfeng would have learned from the celebrities of later generations and worn a mask when going to the street to buy vegetables.

After finishing the interview and making some passionate remarks, he had lunch and drank some wine with local leaders, and then, under the arrangement of Mayor Han, he went to the Mercedes-Benz factory in Pingfang District.

The Feichi Automobile Factory is not a newly built factory, but a reconstruction of an old factory covering a large area. The original site was an industrial equipment manufacturing plant in Harbin.

At that time, due to time urgency, there was no time to build a new car factory. Zhang Yapeng reported this issue to the leadership team of Harbin and asked the local authorities to help coordinate a suitable factory.

Harbin naturally attached great importance to large automobile factories. After a meeting and discussion, it quickly selected several large state-owned enterprises that had been making losses for many years and let Zhang Yapeng choose.

After some negotiations and paying a large amount of relocation fees, Zhang Yapeng successfully obtained the site of this industrial equipment manufacturing plant. (End of this chapter)
