Reborn in the red age

Before calling Li Qingfeng, Principal Wu had already learned about the situation of Lemon Company in detail and knew the significance of office software to Lemon Company.

Operating system and office software, these two sectors are the foundation of Lemon Company, and we will never allow others to get involved.

Principal Wu was not surprised to see Qingfeng Li refuse without hesitation.

Principal Wu smiled and waved his hand, motioning Li Qingfeng to sit down first, then he explained: "Xiao Li, you misunderstood. The cooperative development I mentioned is not the development of new office software, but the cooperative development of the Chinese version of Lemon Company's software."

Having said that, he glanced at Qingfeng Li. Seeing that Qingfeng Li had no other expression, he continued, "Although Lemon Company's office software also has a Chinese version, there are still some inconsistencies in the processing of Chinese. This is a problem that Founder, which has been studying Chinese electronicization for many years, still has some strengths."

Li Qingfeng curled his lips secretly, forget it, Fang Zheng’s strength is just that.

The reason why the Chinese system is not smooth is mainly because not many people use the Chinese version of office software and there is little profit. That is why Lemon Company did not invest manpower and material resources in optimization.

"Lemon Company has sufficient software R&D capabilities and can optimize the Chinese processing system on its own, so there is no need to bother Fang Zheng to come in."

Having said this, Qingfeng Li paused. He didn't want to get involved with Fang Zheng, but he had to give the school face. After thinking for a while, he continued:
"Our company is very optimistic about the online gaming business recently and is interested in building a global gaming platform. If Founder wants to expand into other businesses, it can consider electronic games."

"Video games?"

Principal Wu murmured softly with a look of disgust on his face. Having been in education for so many years and being a relatively old-fashioned person, Principal Wu held a negative attitude towards electronic games.

In his opinion, electronic games can easily make young people addicted, neglect their studies, and even affect their physical and mental health. It is an industry that should be cracked down on.

Principal Wu looked at Li Qingfeng seriously and said earnestly, "Little Li, our Peking University is a temple of academics, a place to cultivate talents and promote knowledge progress. How can we engage in electronic games? This runs counter to the mission and values ​​of the school."

"Teenagers have poor willpower, and electronic games often make them addicted, neglecting their studies and careers. The negative impact on society cannot be ignored. We should focus our energy on more meaningful scientific research and education, and contribute our own strength to the development of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation."

After hearing Principal Wu's sermon, Qingfeng Li felt a headache.

Intellectuals who work in education are really not suitable for doing business. They neither cheat nor rob. It is really pedantic to consider this and that when making money.

Too lazy to argue with Principal Wu, Qingfeng Li adjusted his sitting posture slightly, cleared his throat and said, "Principal Wu, I understand your point of view, but I would like to ask, given the current domestic economic situation, how many young people in your opinion can access online games?"

Principal Wu naturally understood what Qingfeng Li meant. He frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he spoke quietly:
"The current computer penetration rate in China is indeed not high, and only a very small number of young people can access online games. But even so, schools cannot take the lead in producing electronic games, otherwise others will follow suit. When economic conditions improve, domestic electronic games will surely flood the market and become uncontrollable."

Qingfeng Li nodded in understanding. This was something Qingfeng Li had not considered.

As expected, one should do his job according to his position. Li Qingfeng thought about Founder's business with a pure businessman's mindset and naturally had no scruples.

Principal Wu considers issues from the perspective of the school and the school-enterprise, so naturally he puts social responsibility first.

It was hopeless to persuade Fang Zheng to develop games now, and Li Qingfeng did not want Fang Zheng to interfere in his company's business, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing Li Qingfeng's embarrassment, Principal Wu sighed deeply: "Forget it, forget it. I am an old man and I am forcing you. I will open the Internet dedicated line for you as usual. Forget about the cooperation between you and Founder."

Hearing Principal Wu say this, Qingfeng Li felt quite embarrassed.

After all, he accepted the benefits offered by the other party, but did not agree to the other party's conditions. Li Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed.

After pondering for a moment, Qingfeng Li said tentatively: "This is so embarrassing, how about I donate some money to the school?"

"No thanks, it's like a business hotline. Just consider our students when you are planning to build a domestic branch."

"College students are guaranteed jobs, but how many students are interested in corporate jobs?"

"Technical secondary schools have gradually stopped guaranteeing job placements since last year. Don't you know what this means?" Principal Wu looked at Li Qingfeng with interest and said.

The trend of abolishing guaranteed employment for graduates has been in the works since last year, when the government officially proposed to reform the employment system of "guaranteed unified employment and unified distribution" and "guaranteed employment of cadres" for college graduates. Starting from technical secondary schools, a system will be implemented in which a small number of graduates will be arranged for employment by the state, while the majority of graduates will "choose their own jobs".

After several years of adjustment and transition, the system of guaranteed job placement for students upon graduation was officially abolished in 96.

Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly: "Okay, when the time comes, I will move the Human Resources Department to our school and give priority to selecting people from our school. After recruiting people from our school, I will consider other schools."

"cough cough"

Principal Wu coughed and said with a smile on his face, "It's not that serious. It seems that I, an old man, am taking advantage of my alumni relationship and taking more than I deserve. Just give our school more places."

Li Qingfeng felt embarrassed that after getting the school's international line, he only needed to recruit more students from the school when raising funds for the domestic branch.

After agreeing on the campus recruitment, Qingfeng Li hesitated for a moment and said, "President Wu, are you interested in launching a satellite?"

Li Qingfeng has always had the idea of ​​the Starlink project, but the current technology is not yet mature, and there were too many things to do in the past two years, so he could not take care of this project for the time being.

I have been free recently and plan to prepare this project well. I will first go to the north with Mou Qizhong to launch a satellite to test the waters.

It had been agreed long ago to launch a satellite together. Big brother Mou Qizhong had already negotiated with the north and had been urging Li Qingfeng to act quickly.

Peking University had nothing to do with the planned partner institutions and organizations, but now, due to a favor from President Wu, Li Qingfeng plans to invite Peking University to join the Starlink project.

Although Peking University’s satellite major is relatively poor, its mathematics is top-notch in the country and can always be used.

Principal Wu, who had wanted to see the guest off, immediately became interested after hearing what Qingfeng Li said. He sat down again with his butt slightly raised, and asked Qingfeng Li to explain in detail what happened.

"That's right. This idea was inspired by Mou Zongqi. I'm planning on it."

After listening to Li Qingfeng's story, Principal Wu opened his mouth wide. After a long while, Principal Wu finally reacted and looked at Li Qingfeng in shock: "Navigation positioning, satellite communications, high-speed Internet access, rocket launches, manned aviation, you are trying to steal the country's work!"

"It's not that exaggerated. We won't take the country's work away from us." Li Qingfeng smiled and said calmly, "The initial goal is just to get a navigation system. As for the rest, it's just an ideal plan. Whether it can be implemented depends on the subsequent technological development and national policies."

Principal Wu frowned. "Your idea is very bold, but it is not easy to implement. It requires huge capital investment, top technical talents and strong policy support. Are you sure?"

"Funding is not a problem. The remaining two items depend on the results of the negotiation with the higher-ups. Of course, if you can help, I think the negotiation with the higher-ups will go more smoothly."

Principal Wu did not give a direct answer to Qingfeng Li's invitation. He narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the table with his fingers, weighing the pros and cons.

After a long while, Principal Wu slowly shook his head and refused to join Li Qingfeng's Starlink project.

President Wu's refusal did not surprise Li Qingfeng. Peking University is not an aerospace university and its focus is different.

If the people sitting opposite were the presidents of Harbin Institute of Technology or Beihang University, they would definitely agree to Li Qingfeng's invitation to the Starlink project without hesitation.

Although he felt sorry for Principal Wu missing out on the chance to become famous in this world, Qingfeng Li did not try to persuade him. He thought that the opportunity had been given to him, and it was up to him whether to accept it or not.

After exchanging a few simple polite words and saying goodbye, Qingfeng Li left Principal Wu's office.

After coming out of Principal Wu's office, Li Qingfeng politely declined Jiang Yiping's invitation to dinner, returned to the car, took out his phone and called Huaxin, asking them to come to the school as soon as possible to set up an Internet dedicated line.

Although Li Qingfeng said that Huaxin does not need this for the time being, in fact, Huaxin's access to the international Internet can bring great convenience to Huaxin.

At the very least, we can get international news much faster, without having to rely on Hong Kong to pass it on, and we can grasp the international cutting-edge development trends in the industry at the first time. (End of this chapter)
