Reborn in the red age

After hearing what Li Qingfeng said, Hu Jiabao was still somewhat skeptical, but he did not force Li Qingfeng to eat the turtle and tortoise pills he bought. He decided to take the turtle and tortoise pills to school to test their approximate ingredients after work tomorrow.

Li Qingfeng didn't care. What was real couldn't be fake, and what was fake couldn't be real. Once he went to the laboratory to test the ingredients, everything would be clear.

After sending the two children to school, Li Qingfeng drove to Huaxin to discuss with Secretary Qian the issue of Huaxin's acquisition of the small hybrid chip company.

The equipment and personnel shipped back from America were not given to Huaxin for free.

Strictly speaking, this merger between the two parties is an acquisition, and Huaxin has to pay.

Since it is an acquisition, Huaxin does not have that much money in its account, so naturally it needs shareholders to inject new capital to complete the acquisition.

"Xiao Li, the Microchip Technology Company in the United States is also your industry, and Huaxin is also your industry. Both parties are family, how can you be so petty?"

In the conference room of Huaxin's new headquarters, Secretary Qian came as a representative of the Ministry of Commerce to negotiate with Lemon Company.

They tried to use the relationship between the two parties as a breakthrough point to get Li Qingfeng to give in and ask for less money, or even no money at all to complete the merger of the two companies.

Li Qingfeng was not fooled by this and immediately retorted, "Hey, stop, I need to remind you that the company that wants to acquire Microchip Technology only has my shares, and I am not even the majority shareholder. It is not my industry, and I cannot decide on the specific amount."

Seeing that Li Qingfeng had completely denied all responsibility for the incident, Secretary Qian frowned slightly and cursed Li Qingfeng in his heart for lying with his eyes open.

Do you think I don't know about your relationship with Li Huiying? It's not yours. If it's not yours, how could she get the money to start such a big business?

Suppressing his unhappiness, Secretary Qian nodded perfunctorily and said sarcastically: "Yes, yes, that company is not yours, it belongs to the Americans, and you are just a small shareholder."

Li Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay attention to Secretary Qian's sarcasm. After all, the company was not really his. If he didn't believe it, he could look at the shareholders' shareholding ratio.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng didn't react, Secretary Qian held his forehead and said helplessly: "But you just asked for 500 million US dollars. Isn't that too much? The chip company invested by Shougang still has a process technology of 1.2 microns, and the total investment is only 70 million US dollars."

"Can 800 microns be the same as nanometers? Moreover, the equipment is just a small amount of money. What is valuable is the various patents. The value of the decoding chip alone is more than million US dollars. Only million US dollars is already a huge discount for Huaxin."

Li Qingfeng knocked on the table and gestured with his hands to explain the value of Microchip, to prove that the price he offered was not too much at all, but a huge discount.

"Come on, do you think I don't know what's going on with the decoding chip?"

After Li Qingfeng finished speaking, Secretary Qian stood up from his stool, pointed at Li Qingfeng's nose, and spitted, "It was Huaxin that developed it, but it was just attributed to Microchip. Now you want to sell Huaxin's products to Huaxin at a high price. Is this how you do things?"

The two sides were quite close to each other, and the flying spit almost landed on Li Qingfeng's face. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been sprayed with spit all over his face.

After taking out toilet paper and wiping the spit on the table, Li Qingfeng said slowly, "That's not right. How come the decoding chip was developed by Huaxin?"

"Who was responsible for developing the decoding chip? It was Xu Yuanming! It was Xu Yuanming who led his comrades to work day and night for a year and over 300 sleepless nights to develop it."

"Xu Yuanming is now working at Huaxin. How come this decoding chip cannot be considered as Huaxin's achievement?" Secretary Qian became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone rose more than once when he said this.

After hearing what Secretary Qian said, Qingfeng Li immediately understood what he meant. This old guy was trying to act like a rogue.

Li Qingfeng said nothing, did not argue, just looked at Secretary Qian with a sneer.

When we were doing chip research and development, there was no Huaxin yet. Xu Yuanming was still an employee of Lemon Company at that time. Moreover, Xu Yuanming is from Hong Kong. I was transferred here from Hong Kong. When did he become your comrade?

No matter how you look at it, the patent for the decoding chip has nothing to do with Huaxin.

The only connection is that the R&D team of the decoding chip currently works at Huaxin.

There was silence in the meeting room for a long time. Secretary Qian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Qingfeng Li, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

After the atmosphere became awkward, Secretary Qian coughed lightly and softened his tone: "Anyway, the price is indeed too high. We have to proceed from reality and consider the country's chip industry. We can't just focus on the personal interests in front of us. The collective interests are above all else."

Li Qingfeng didn't respond at all. Under Secretary Qian's puzzled look, he took out a piece of white paper and started writing and drawing on it.

Secretary Qian was so angry at Li Qingfeng's refusal to respond that he sat on the chair sulking.

After writing and drawing for a while, Qingfeng Li turned the white paper over and placed it in front of Secretary Qian. He grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth:
"It's useless to say so much. We need to increase capital this time. Both of us must pay. The total amount is 500 million US dollars. Lemon Company holds 65% of the shares. The 325 million US dollars can be transferred to Huaxin's account tomorrow."

"The 35% of the shares that belong to the Ministry of Commerce require an additional capital of 175 million US dollars. When can you deposit the money? Then we will officially start the acquisition of Microchip."

Secretary Qian:
But no matter how talented you are, you can’t display your abilities if others ignore you.

After a long silence, Secretary Qian looked at Li Qingfeng helplessly: "I didn't realize that you used military tactics at the negotiation table."

"Hehe, I personally highly praise the strategic idea of ​​'you fight yours, I fight mine' and I often use it," Li Qingfeng pursed his lips and said modestly.

"."

There was silence in the room again.

After making sure that Li Qingfeng's decision could not be shaken, Secretary Qian began the negotiations calmly.

Holding the paper handed over by Li Qingfeng, he smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly: "No, now the whole country is asking for money, and the Ministry of Commerce cannot take out such a large amount of foreign exchange."

"It's simple. If you can't come up with the money, then dilute the shares. How much can the Ministry of Commerce come up with? I'll calculate for you how much of the 35% of the Ministry of Commerce will be left after dilution."

“What if you don’t take out a penny?”

Li Qingfeng looked at Secretary Qian deeply, then picked up his pen and began to calculate.

After some calculations, Qingfeng Li raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and handed the result to Secretary Qian.

"What, only 6 percent?"

"Stop, don't try to take advantage of me, yours is not 6%, it's 5.8%"

"."

Secretary Qian was just a representative and had no power to make decisions. After lingering in the conference room for a while, Secretary Qian left Huaxin with a notebook full of words and hurriedly got into the car to leave. At the upstairs window, watching the black Audi slowly leave, He Guangqin, who had been silent, pushed his glasses and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Li, do you think the Ministry of Commerce will increase its capital?"

"It's quite difficult. If you are willing to convert the money into RMB, the Ministry of Commerce can take out the money. But if it's US dollars, it's quite difficult. The best we can do is to take out 20 million to maintain 10% of the shares." Li Qingfeng shook his head and was not very optimistic about the Ministry of Commerce's capital increase.

"It would be great if we could take back all of Huaxin's shares while we can."

"It's not necessary. In this part of the country, it's better to have an official title."

The Ministry of Commerce should have had a plan in place long ago. That afternoon, Secretary Qian called back to say that the Ministry of Commerce was willing to increase its capital by US$27 million and retain a 10% stake in Huaxin.

Li Qingfeng had anticipated this result and agreed without hesitation. He sent He Guangqin as his representative to the Ministry of Commerce to finalize the capital increase agreement in the next period of time.

In just one day, the issue of Huaxin's capital increase was successfully resolved. Li Qingfeng was in a good mood and went home after get off work to pick up his children from school.

Without asking Sun Aidang to drive him home, Li Qingfeng drove his Passat straight to Peking University Primary School and waited quietly at the school gate for the school bell to ring.

"Wow, are all the teachers so rich now? Why are there so many cars?"

When the students were about to leave school, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but mutter a few words under his breath when he saw the road in front of the primary school was full of cars.

Qingfeng Li's voice was not loud, but it was still heard by the people next to him. An ordinary-looking man turned his head, glanced at the car parked on the side of the road, and spat softly:
"Pah, how can a teacher afford a car? Most of those who drive cars are not teachers at school."

"Huh? Not from school? How do you mean?"

Qingfeng Li was stunned, not understanding what this meant.

"It means exactly what it says. The world is in decline and people's hearts are no longer the same. A good school that mainly served children of faculty and staff has now been ruined by these self-employed individuals. As long as they can afford the school selection fee, they can send their own children to school. It's simply a disgrace to society." The man became more and more excited as he spoke, with a look of resentment on his face.

Looking at the man's angry expression, Qingfeng Li touched his nose and felt that the man was a bit cynical.

Everyone wants to go to a good school, and it is understandable that parents want to create better learning conditions for their children.

Looking at the somewhat agitated man, Li Qingfeng spoke to comfort him, "As long as you don't take away the normal enrollment quota for students, there's no need to make a big deal out of it by paying a little school selection fee to buy the extra enrollment quota."

"Education should be fair and just, but now it has become a playground for the rich. These people think they can buy everything with money. They are destroying the purity of education." Faced with Li Qingfeng's comfort, the man did not appreciate it at all.

After listening to what this buddy said, Qingfeng Li shook his head slowly, thinking that this buddy had become stupid because of reading too much.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness. Your children can receive the best education in the country in the capital, but there are not even many regular teachers in rural schools.

The unequal distribution of educational resources is the greatest injustice.

The man saw Li Qingfeng shaking his head and thought he didn't agree with what he said. He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked a few steps to the side, away from Li Qingfeng's position.

Li Qingfeng was too lazy to say anything more to this nerd. He shrugged his shoulders and waited for the two children to come out of school.

Not long after the school bell rang, the first-year student appeared at the gate, skipping and jumping with his schoolbag on his back.

After weighing the light schoolbag, Qingfeng Li said nothing and took Chuyi with him, waiting for Shiwu to come out of school.

"Dad, look, your son came out with a female classmate."

Although he was not a good student in the first grade of junior high school, his eyesight was very good and he could find his younger brother's shadow from a distance in the crowd.

Following Chuyi's finger, Qingfeng Li saw from afar Shiwu, smiling and trying to get close to a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. His son was really good. He knew that the little girl was pretty at such a young age.

When Fifteen was about to reach the door, Chuyi greeted him with a smile and teased, "Little Fifteen, why don't you go with your male classmates after school?"

"Ah, this, I"

Being teased by his sister in front of his father, Fifteen's face turned red and he stammered, unable to speak.

Li Qingfeng took a step forward, grabbed Chuyi's pigtail, and pulled Chuyi aside as he was about to tease the little porcelain doll.

Ignoring Fifteen who was calling him dad, Qingfeng Li showed a gentle smile on his face and said with a smile: "Little boy, you are so cute, what's your name?"

"Hello uncle, my name is Han Xiaoxue, and I'm Li Zimu's deskmate." The little porcelain doll was very polite and greeted Li Qingfeng in a crisp voice.

"Oh, Xiaoxue is so cute." Li Qingfeng touched the little porcelain doll's head and took out a few pieces of chocolate from his pocket: "Here, uncle has some chocolate for you to eat."

"Thank you uncle"

The little porcelain doll was not shy at all. She thanked him politely and took the chocolate from Qingfeng Li with a smile.

Just when Li Qingfeng wanted to touch the little porcelain doll's head again, a man jumped out from the side, quickly pulled the little porcelain doll behind him, and looked at Li Qingfeng vigilantly.

Seeing the man's face, Qingfeng Li was stunned. Isn't this the nerd? Could he be the father of this little porcelain doll?
"Sir, what do you do? Why are you giving things to my daughter?" The man frowned and looked at Li Qingfeng with suspicion.

Knowing that his behavior had caused misunderstanding, Li Qingfeng was about to explain when the little porcelain doll spoke up: "Dad, this uncle is the father of my classmate Li Muzi. The uncle likes me very much and gave me chocolate."

The man's expression eased a little after hearing his daughter's words, but because of the conversation just now, he didn't have a very good impression of Li Qingfeng.

Just when he was about to say thank you, the little porcelain doll spoke again: "Dad, Li Zimu's family has a car. Li Zimu said he could ask his father to take us back."

As soon as these words came out, the man's face changed.

He snatched the chocolate from the little porcelain doll and slapped it into Li Qingfeng's hand, then walked forward, pulling his daughter along.

As he walked, he also warned Han Xiaoxue: "Don't play with that Li Zimu in the future" (End of this chapter)
