Reborn in the red age

On the day the meeting started, Hu Jiabao got up early in the morning and was busy all the time. Not only did he personally prepare a relaxing breakfast for Li Qingfeng, he also specially re-ironed the suit that Ma Wenhui had sent him yesterday and put it on Li Qingfeng himself.

Li Qingfeng, who was forced to wear a suit, tugged at his tie awkwardly, and helplessly said to Hu Jiabao who was busy, "It's only been two days since the beginning of autumn, I can just wear a shirt. A suit and tie will make you sweat if you move a little bit."

Li Qingfeng was afraid of heat to begin with, and after wearing the suit for a while, he felt his body sweating slightly and felt very uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's such a big meeting, and you have to go on stage to give a speech. How can you not dress formally?" Hu Jiabao rejected Li Qingfeng's invitation mercilessly, and excitedly took out a new bottle of gel water and was about to spray it on Li Qingfeng's head.

Seeing Hu Jiabao holding a can of unknown object and about to hit him on the head, Li Qingfeng quickly stopped Hu Jiabao's behavior: "Stop, stop, stop, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I learned how to style your hair two days ago for today. I can definitely give you a slicked-back hairstyle like Xiao Ma Ge."

"Come on, it's already uncomfortable, and if you spray another layer of stuff on my hair, won't it be even more uncomfortable?"

"How could that be? The gel water I bought for you is imported, how could it be uncomfortable?"

“It’s still uncomfortable even if he’s imported.”

"Just bear with it for two days"

"."

With no other options, Qingfeng Li finally compromised and let Hu Jiabao torment him.

After all the trouble, Qingfeng Li felt uncomfortable all over his body, but when he saw Hu Jiabao's excited and expectant eyes, he swallowed the complaint that was about to come out of his mouth.

Forget it, as long as she is happy.

After breakfast, Chuyi put on his schoolbag and prepared to go to school. He came to the bedroom to say hello to his parents. When he saw Li Qingfeng's clothes, he asked with sparkling eyes: "Dad, you are dressed like this, are you going out?"

"Yes, Dad has to attend a very big meeting today and he has to give a speech on stage. Chuyi, do you think Dad is in good spirits today?" Hu Jiabao said to Chuyi with a smile.

Facing the girl's comments, Qingfeng Li subconsciously straightened his back and looked at Chuyi, waiting for her to speak.

Chuyi looked at Li Qingfeng's clothes, his eyes rolling around, and it was obvious that he had some thoughts.

Hu Jiabao knew his daughter very well. Without waiting for her to speak, he started to chase her away: "Okay, I guess you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. Go to school quickly."

"I can vomit, I can vomit"

"Why are you vomiting? Hurry up and go to school. Don't be late."

Chuyi ignored Hu Jiabao and instead approached Li Qingfeng and acted like a spoiled child: "Dad, can you take me with you if you have a meeting? I haven't seen what you look like in a meeting, and I'm very curious. Take me with you, and I promise I'll be very good and sit in the corner so as not to disturb your meeting."

"I see you don't want to watch me attend the meeting, you just don't want to go to school, go to school quickly." Li Qingfeng pinched Chuyi's pigtails and ruthlessly exposed her lie.

"No, it's not that I don't want to go to school, I just want to watch you in the meeting."

"Go away, don't force me to hit you"

"Just go, what's the big deal, huh"

Li Qingfeng, dressed neatly in a neat suit, got into a luxurious black car sent by the Feichi Automobile Factory and headed to the China World Trade Center for the conference, as Hu Jiabao saw him off.

Sun Aidang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, carefully controlled the steering wheel when passing a washboard road, and reminded Li Qingfeng behind him: "Brother, be careful. If you sit in the back seat of a GAZ car on this kind of road, you will get carsick."

"Understood. Drive slower. This broken car looks great on the outside but is actually rotten on the inside. Don't drive too fast or it will fall apart." Li Qingfeng nodded, grabbed the hidden handle on the roof, and spoke up.

"Don't worry, I know."

He Guangqin, who was riding in a Mercedes-Benz car for the first time, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead as he listened to the conversation between the two people. Is this car so dangerous?

Subconsciously, he followed Li Qingfeng's example in the back seat and reached out to grab the handle on the roof of the passenger seat, praying that the car would not fall apart on the road.

After learning that Li Qingfeng was going to speak on behalf of domestic enterprises at the foreign investment conference, Zhang Yapeng, who was far away in Harbin, immediately realized that this was a good advertising opportunity. He organized the engineers in the factory to modify the original GAZ-24, the only car currently in production, the current Mercedes-Benz C28.

Both the exterior and interior have been upgraded, with the Mercedes-Benz C28 applying the designer's next-generation self-produced luxury sedan appearance.

It was originally a mid-sized car, but the factory engineers forcibly transformed it into a large car, and the body size is much larger than the original one.

The exterior does look a lot more luxurious, and there is no trace of the original GAZ car at all, but this thing has also become a porcelain doll that cannot withstand intense driving. Once the speed is too fast, there is a risk of falling apart at any time.

The car stopped safely at the gate of China World Trade Center. The staff who had been waiting at the gate for a long time came forward to open the back door and guided Li Qingfeng towards the inside of the venue.

The meeting had not started yet. Li Qingfeng followed the staff's instructions and walked along the red carpet to the lounge for high-tech enterprise representatives.

The heavy door of the lounge was pushed open by two etiquette ladies. Li Qingfeng adjusted his tie and walked in with steady steps.

At this time, the corporate representatives in the lounge were sitting on the sofas and in the left and right corners of the lounge, holding coffee or tea, and enthusiastically discussing the direction of cutting-edge technology in English with different accents.

When Li Qingfeng appeared at the door, the foreign representatives who were having a lively conversation all looked towards the door.

When they saw Li Qingfeng's face clearly, the originally noisy conference room suddenly became quiet. The foreign representatives who were talking loudly put down the white porcelain teacups in their hands before they could even close their mouths.

Their casual expressions instantly became solemn. They quickly straightened their clothes and got off the soft sofa one by one. Their eyes were fixed on Qingfeng Li. Everyone greeted Qingfeng Li with a sincere smile on their face.

Looking at these internationally renowned foreign representatives, all of whom stood up to greet him, Qingfeng Li swept his eyes across their faces one by one, with a standard smile on his face, and nodded slightly in the direction of the crowd.

The staff member who led Li Qingfeng in was shocked to the point of being unable to describe in words when he saw most of the foreigners standing up to greet him. He was the lobby manager of a foreign-related hotel and was seconded here this time. He knew all too well how arrogant these foreigners were in China.

He looks down on this and that, and treats domestic officials and businessmen equally with a condescending attitude.

Today's scene was the first time he had seen it in all these years.

Seeing the staff member who was leading him to his seat suddenly freeze in place, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly and reminded him in a low voice: "Comrade, where is my seat?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was distracted." Hearing Li Qingfeng's question, the staff member woke up in shock and hurriedly apologized to Li Qingfeng.

"It's okay, take me to my seat."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, your seat is in the front, please follow me."

On the way to the location, people kept reaching out to Li Qingfeng. Basically, Li Qingfeng would pause and simply shake hands with the other person.

It took Qingfeng Li a full five minutes to walk the short distance of twenty meters to reach his position.

After Li Qingfeng sat down, the neighbors around him came up to him and started chatting with him.

One of them actually aroused Li Qingfeng's interest. He didn't expect that their company would actually come to attend this meeting.

"Hello, I didn't expect Nokia would also attend this meeting," Li Qingfeng said with emotion after shaking hands with the Nokia representative.

Nokia representative Larfu shrugged and said, "Why don't we participate? You know, we have business in China, and we have an office in Beijing. Since we have been invited, why don't we come?"

"Nokia has state-owned business in China? And an office?"

"Of course, we opened our first office in Beijing in 85, mainly selling our company's cables, optical cables, transmission equipment and other products. We did not carry out large-scale publicity, so Mr. Li may not have noticed us."

“It seems that I am ignorant.”

After hearing this guy's explanation, Li Qingfeng curled his lips and said, "It would be more appropriate to call your office a sales department. You only sell things to domestic companies. I'm not in the communications industry, so it would be strange if I knew that."

Ralph nodded noncommittally, and did not talk more about this topic. Instead, he switched to the mobile phone business: "Does Lemon Company want to get into the telecommunications industry?"

"No, I don't have that idea at all. We are a technology company and have nothing to do with telecommunications." Li Qingfeng shook his head to deny Ralph's question, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Ralph, why do you ask this question?"

"I've seen Lemon Company's layout in the past year, and it seems to be developing into the communications industry. I just happened to meet them today, so I just asked casually."

Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, no wonder you, Nokia, came to attend this meeting. It turns out you came here for me."

"You misunderstood. Our company has no interest in the telecommunications industry and will not enter the telecommunications equipment industry." Since someone came to test the waters, Li Qingfeng simply gave a clear conclusion.

"What a pity." Larfu shook his head slightly, a hint of barely perceptible joy flashed in his eyes, and he said hypocritically: "We originally thought that we could start some cooperation with potential companies like your company in the field of telecommunications. After all, the communications industry is developing so rapidly now. If more innovative partners join in, more sparks will be created, and the communications industry will also be able to develop rapidly."

Looking at Larfu who lied without blinking an eye, Li Qingfeng smiled on the surface but cursed in his heart, "You are such a good pretender, you bastard."

It's no wonder that Lalf came over to test the waters. The truth is that Lemon Company has recently been developing communication chips and investing in small telecommunications companies, which has made those in the communications industry very worried, fearing that Lemon Company is thinking of doing communications.

After all, Lemon Company is too rich. Since the release of Windows 90, it has completely dominated the global personal computer operating system market, with an exaggerated market share of %.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is making a fortune every day. If a company with such terrifying cash flow enters the telecommunications field, it will not be a good thing for all telecommunications equipment manufacturers.

After getting a positive response from Qingfeng Li, Larfu smiled and said to Qingfeng Li: "Mr. Li, our company is developing the latest generation of GSM mobile phones. We are currently seeking cooperation with software developers to jointly develop operating systems for mobile devices. Lemon Company's system development capabilities are beyond doubt. I wonder if there is a chance for cooperation?"

Qingfeng Li pondered for a moment, then smiled and said cheerfully, "Mr. Ralph, this sounds like a good opportunity. We at Lemon Company look forward to cooperating with you. After the meeting, we can have some preliminary exchanges."

"Mr. Li, this is a very wise decision. I believe that our cooperation will create products that will attract global attention."

"You have first-class hardware engineers, and we have first-class software engineers. There is no reason why the products we create together cannot be successful."

After a simple verbal agreement on cooperation with Larfu, a staff member pushed the door open and walked into the lounge, announcing that the meeting was about to begin and everyone could go to the conference room and take their seats.

Before going to the conference room, Li Qingfeng found the waiter in the lounge and asked for a glass of water.

Having just spoken a lot with these foreigners, Li Qingfeng was now feeling dry in the mouth. He would be speaking on stage soon, so he needed to drink some water to moisten his throat.

After arriving at the venue, Qingfeng Li briefly looked at the approximate number of people in the venue, turned to look at his secretary He Guangqin, and asked: "How many people came this time? I see that the venue is full."

Some time ago, Li Qingfeng gave up, but He Guangqin did not. He had been communicating with the organizers the whole time. He Guangqin knew the specific situation at the meeting very well.

"It's quite a lot. Before you helped to invite them, there were only about fifty companies that expressed their willingness to come, and at most a hundred people would show up. Now there are a total of 184 companies of all sizes participating in the conference, and there are 368 people here." He Guangqin stated the specific number of people at the venue without any hesitation.

"Oh, really? It seems I still have enough face."

"Of course, our company still has great appeal around the world."

"Hahaha, give me the speech. I'll take a look at it again while there's still time."

After the meeting started, the leaders of the organizing unit took turns to speak on stage. Then, Li Qingfeng, as the representative of the Chinese enterprises, was invited to speak on stage.

At the back of the venue, Qian Xiaotao couldn't help but swear when he saw who was standing on the stage:

"Fuck, why is it him?" (End of this chapter)
