Reborn in the red age

"What about decoding chips? Currently, decoding chips are not only in huge domestic demand, but also exported in large quantities. Without decoding chips, China will lose an important channel for earning foreign exchange."

Liu Guangmin smiled and waved his hand: "The decoding chip is not a big problem. Although Huaxin is not allowed to make it, it can be handed over to our chip companies in the United States for production."

"After the products are produced in America and then exported to China, we agree to use RMB for transactions. Although this is a bit troublesome and will cause some minor losses to our company's interests, there will still be profits. Domestic sales can be guaranteed, and foreign exchange can still be earned from exports."

As the general manager of Huaxin, Xu Yuanming understood what Liu Guangmin meant. This meant sacrificing Huaxin.

Xu Yuanming was not happy about this. He had worked so hard to build up Huaxin, which produced more than 200,000 to 300,000 chips per month and had trained more and more skilled technical workers. Now he wanted to disband Huaxin. That would be a scam.

Seeing Ni Guangnan had turned off his temper, Xu Yuanming immediately stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "What about Huaxin? Huaxin currently has several thousand employees, and the only chip it produces is the decoding chip. According to what you said, if the production license of the decoding chip is cancelled, will Huaxin be dissolved?"

"It's not like we'll have to disband. There's an urgent shortage of chips in China, so we can definitely produce the chips that are needed in China. Even though it doesn't require much technology, it's still a job. We can afford to run the factory and wait for the right opportunity."

Xu Yuanming angrily slammed the table, pointed at Liu Guangmin and shouted: "Nonsense, we have so many senior engineers in Huaxin, and the most advanced production line in the country, are we producing garbage?"

"There's no other way. It's better to produce garbage than to go bankrupt, right? We just have to wait for time. America can't be that strong. Once the country gets through this hurdle and the economy recovers, those foreign companies will come back, and then we can re-authorize Huaxin." Liu Guangmin spread his hands helplessly, saying that this was the only way Huaxin could do if it wanted to survive.

Xu Yuanming snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at Li Qingfeng, ignoring Liu Guangmin and waiting for Li Qingfeng to make a decision.

Li Qingfeng, who was sitting in the main seat, pondered for a while, smiled bitterly and nodded slightly. Given the current situation, temporarily giving up Huaxin was the best choice.

I never expected that I would encounter a dilemma similar to that of Huawei in later generations.

After making the choice, Li Qingfeng said angrily in his heart: America, you are going too far. Just wait for me. After I transfer the personnel and equipment back to the country, I will show you how I will deal with you.

If I don't snatch all of your American Internet patents, I will write my name backwards from now on.

Li Qingfeng picked up the document and instead of using a shredder to shred it, he took out a lighter and burned it.

After watching the document turn to ashes, Qingfeng Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Damn it, the label of traitor has been pinned on me."

The office fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Qingfeng Li with pity.

It would be fine if foreign capital withdrew from China, and the Chinese people would not say much. But Lemon Company, which is a local company, also wanted to withdraw along with the foreign capital. Once the news got out, I couldn't imagine how the people would curse Li Qingfeng.

"Not really, not really. Chinese people are still rational and can understand your good intentions." Liu Guangmin, the proposer of the plan, saw that no one was talking, so he had to bite the bullet and come out to comfort everyone.

Li Qingfeng glanced at him and said with a look of despair: "Do you believe this yourself?"

Liu Guangmin touched his nose and didn't dare to respond.

Looking at the people who were either sitting or standing, Qingfeng Li waved his hand weakly, signaling them to leave. He wanted to be alone and quiet.

After everyone left, Li Qingfeng looked at the empty office and felt sorry for himself for a while. Then he started to think about where to move to after the news got out.

He no longer dared to live in the staff housing estate at Peking University, as too many people knew about the place. Li Qingfeng was afraid that angry students would come to his house and point fingers at him and scold him.

After the plan was finalized internally, the people below quickly began to take action, contacting relevant persons in charge one after another to prepare for the withdrawal of funds out of the country.

Huaxin is also carrying out emergency production and working overtime to produce more chips before the authorization is cancelled.

The news from Lemon Company spread quickly. When the leaders learned that Lemon Company was going to run away, someone immediately asked Li Qingfeng to come for a talk and be questioned.

Just when Li Qingfeng was ready to face the leaders' anger calmly, Secretary Qian came up to him.

"Xiao Li, the boss has heard about your company's news. He also understands your company's difficulties and has notified everyone that the bank will unconditionally cooperate with the withdrawal of funds from your Lemon Company."

"Secretary Qian, I..." When Li Qingfeng wanted to say something, Secretary Qian interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He continued with emotion: "You have done enough for the country. Don't feel sorry for the country. It is the country that feels sorry for you. In the final analysis, the country is not strong enough to protect the interests of our citizens overseas."

"Don't worry. Domestic bonds have already been issued twice, raising a large amount of funds for domestic demand. Foreign exchange is also sufficient for the time being. The withdrawal of more than one billion US dollars from your company will not have a big impact on the country."

After Secretary Qian finished speaking and made sure that he would not speak again, Qingfeng Li looked at Secretary Qian strangely and said, "Um, Secretary Qian, I think you may have misunderstood. I have no intention of withdrawing the company's funds in China. I am just transferring them."

"Oh, you won't take it away! Hmm? What's going on? Tell me in detail."

Li Qingfeng explained the plan in detail and asked Qian Shuqi to keep it confidential as much as possible and not let the news spread among the top leaders.

After all, during this period, there were too many spies from foreign forces in the country, spread across all levels of society, and many of them were in high positions.

Just the positions of those who were turned over and announced in later generations are enough to make people's scalps shudder, and we don't know how many more there are that have not been announced.

After listening to Li Qingfeng's plan, Secretary Qian cheered excitedly and said that Li Qingfeng was a good comrade who was loyal to the country.

After some excited cheers, Secretary Qian looked at Li Qingfeng in confusion: "Why do you ask me to keep it highly confidential and not even tell irrelevant people at the top? Don't you trust the leaders above?"

"Well, there are too many nephews and nieces of the leaders doing business outside. I'm worried that after they get to know the news, they will spread rumors outside, causing the news to leak," Li Qingfeng said embarrassedly.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble for himself, Li Qingfeng did not dare to tell anyone that there was a spy among the top brass, and decided to let them investigate it themselves.

They are all in high positions and have great power. What if Secretary Qian really finds out something and accidentally arrests some young master or something? If the news gets out, what will he do if the other party wants to fight him to death?
After hearing Li Qingfeng's concerns, Secretary Qian showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. After all, his nephew was also doing business outside.
It's like this these days. If your son can't do business, then let your nephews and nieces do it. There are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

It’s impossible that others are living a good life while we are still poor, right?
After assuring Li Qingfeng that he would keep the secret, Secretary Qian did not stay long with Li Qingfeng. After discussing some details, he hurriedly said goodbye and left, returning to report the good news to his superiors.

Since his superiors knew that Li Qingfeng had no plan to withdraw funds and was just pretending to do so for America to see, the news about Lemon Company's withdrawal of funds was not published in the newspapers, thus preventing Li Qingfeng from being criticized by people across the country.

One month after all the funds were transferred to Hong Kong, Huaxin stopped producing decoding chips.

Li Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no news about him in the newspaper and no gossip was spreading in the school.

After all, Qingfeng Li really didn't want to be labeled a traitor and a traitor to his country.
Li Qingfeng did not deposit the 1.2 billion US dollars transferred from China into HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, but directly converted it all into Japanese yen, preparing to reap another wave of profits from Japan.

The 1.2 billion U.S. dollars was under surveillance by the United States. Li Qingfeng did not dare to touch the money and left it in Japan, waiting for the yen to appreciate.

Li Qingfeng secretly drew funds from all over the world one after another, and with the cooperation of the country, he secretly transferred a sum of money every month. It took four months for all the money to finally enter the secret account of Mercedes-Benz, of which $100 million could be used by Mercedes-Benz at will.

Zhang Yapeng is not a person who would not spend money. After learning that he could use $100 million of the money at his will, he organized an inspection team to Japan, intending to introduce some advanced technologies from Japan.

Recruit a group of senior automotive engineers to optimize and upgrade the engines obtained from the Russians.

The engineers on the Russian side had long been bribed by Zhang Yaping's sugar-coated bullets, and now Moscow is in such a mess again, the Russians don't want to go back and live that kind of life of lack of food and clothing.

They all privately expressed their willingness to stay and work at the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory and were willing to help recruit more talents from abroad.

It’s just that the Russian automobile industry has always been very poor. Their level of engine research is really average. It’s no problem for them to make small improvements, but it’s really difficult for them to make a comprehensive upgrade.

Therefore, Zhang Yapeng could only think of ways to try to introduce talents from international countries to carry out all-round technological upgrades for the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory.

Li Qingfeng, who had been paying close attention to the developments in the United States, finally put his mind at ease after learning that he had deceived the United States this time.

Silently taking out the calendar from the drawer and looking at the circled day on it, Qingfeng Li sneered secretly and muttered to himself:

"It is now 1991, three years before the end of Batumi and five years before the start of the Wassenaar Arrangement. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. We will settle this account five years later." (End of this chapter)
