Reborn in the red age

After hesitating for a while, Li Qingfeng finally got out of the car with Shiwu at the invitation of Li Fuqiang, who was pretending to be cool.

Feeling the knife-like gazes from the people around him, Li Qingfeng hurriedly urged Li Fuqiang to leave quickly and not to stay here.

Li Fuqiang actually enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He wanted to use the excuse that the Mercedes-Benz hadn't arrived yet to stay at the door for a while longer, but seeing Li Qingfeng's expression that showed he really didn't want to stay at the door any longer, he didn't insist.

Li Fuqiang pretended to be calm and said, "Then let's go in first," then he turned slowly and walked into the restaurant.

Li Qingfeng let out a long sigh, secretly sighing that this old man was too pretentious, and quickly pulled Fifteen to follow behind.

The scene at the door had long attracted the attention of the Shanfu Restaurant. As soon as the three descendants entered the restaurant, the lobby manager came up to them and respectfully asked if they had a reservation.

Without answering the lobby manager's question, Li Fuqiang raised his chin slightly, motioning Li Qingfeng to answer.

Li Qingfeng smiled helplessly. Well, he became a secretary now.

After telling them the reservation information, the lobby manager did not dare to delay and personally led them to the private room.

As he walked, Li Fuqiang pretended to be someone who often visited high-end restaurants, commenting on the restaurant's decoration and layout, saying that the lights were nice and that the paintings were tasteful.

You know what, he pretends to be pretty convincing. If someone doesn't know his background, they would really be fooled by him.

After entering the private room, Li Qingfeng didn't want to see Li's father pretending to be cool, so he left Shiwu in the room to accompany Li Fuqiang to order food, while he ran to the door to greet Hu Jiabao and his family as well as Li Hongmei's family.

"Where were you just now?"

Just a few steps out of the private room, I saw Hu Jiabao and his three grandchildren following the waiter.

Looking at the depressed Li Qingfeng, Hu Jiabao pursed his lips and smiled: "We didn't go there. Mom said that Dad would definitely do something weird, so she asked Ai Dang to park the car on the side of the road instead of parking it directly at the door."

As soon as he saw Hu Jiabao's expression, Li Qingfeng knew that the embarrassing scene at the door just now was seen by Hu Jiabao.

He smiled helplessly and invited them to go into the private room.

Li Qingfeng didn't have to wait long downstairs before he saw Li Hongmei's speeding car slowly stop outside the restaurant.

"Brother, why are you waiting for us at the door if you're not with our parents?"

"Don't mention it. You don't know how embarrassing what our dad just did is."

Li Qingfeng waved his hand, not wanting to talk about what had just happened, and led Li Hongmei and her family to the private room.

In the private room, Li Fuqiang, who was scolding his wife, stood up from his stool as if he had found his savior when he saw Li Hongmei and her family. "Oh, you're here. Come on, serve the food!"

"Oh, Dabao, you've grown a lot taller since I last saw you. Come here and let grandma see you." When Hong Xingying saw her little girl's family, she no longer had the urge to continue scolding her husband. She held Dabao's hand with a loving look on her face.

Li Hongmei was very smart. As soon as she came in, she noticed that the atmosphere in the room was not right. She did not ask what had just happened, but continued talking along with what the old couple said.

The whole family arrived, and Li Qingfeng asked the waiter to serve the dishes. The family ate and chatted at the same time, and the atmosphere in the private room was very lively.

To Li Qingfeng, the food at Shanfu Restaurant was just average, not even as good as the food at some small restaurants. The main thing he valued was the environment.

Li Fuqiang was very satisfied with the meal and exclaimed that it was delicious. He said he would try it more often during his stay in the city.

After a lively meal, the moment Li Fuqiang walked out of the private room, he returned to his habit of being a ostentatious nouveau riche.

He talked to the waiter in a grand manner, waved his hand, and asked Li Qingfeng to pay the bill, and specifically asked him to pay the bill in a nice way.

This made Li Qingfeng speechless. Just pay the bill and pay the due amount. What's the point of making the bill look nice?
The family walked out of the restaurant. Wang Hu, who had been instructed, had already parked the Bentley in front of the entrance of Shanfu Restaurant.

This time, Qingfeng Li learned his lesson and did not follow behind Li's father in the car. He left the Bentley to Li's father alone and led Fifteen to quickly walk towards Li Hongmei's Mercedes-Benz.

As expected, Li Qingfeng ran a long way as soon as he went out of the door. From afar, he heard Li's father's words "a good car needs a good wax".

Standing far away, looking at Li Hongmei and her husband standing at the door of the Bentley with embarrassed expressions on their faces, Li Qingfeng laughed.

The next day, Li Qingfeng's family accompanied the old couple on a tour around the city and visited all the famous attractions.

After that, Li Qingfeng and his wife no longer showed up, and instead handed the task of accompanying the old couple on their travels to students from Beijing Normal University.

Let them take the two children out to play on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and take the two elderly people to visit the city at the same time.

After making proper arrangements for the old man, Li Qingfeng immediately asked He Guangqin to invite Mou Qizhong to come to the Huaxin headquarters to discuss the satellite launch.

After receiving the notice, Lao Mou rushed over immediately and complained as soon as they met: "Hey, brother, you finally contacted me. You have been talking about launching a satellite for many years. I have prepared everything, but you have never made any move. I thought you had given up."

"No, no, our company has a lot of business, and it's in a period of rapid development recently. I've been busy recently. I just found some time and contacted you immediately," Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

Mou Qizhong said dissatisfiedly: "You are not busy at all. I have been discussing cooperation with Sichuan Province on tourism development recently, and I am also in contact with Manzhouli. I am very busy."

Li Qingfeng pursed his lips and said nothing. This guy is really energetic and is working on projects everywhere.

Each project is bigger and more unreliable than the last. They are pure empty talk, fooling the local government and offending all the higher-ups.

What about blasting a 50-kilometer hole in the Himalayas, allowing the Indian Ocean warm current to enter the Northwest, fundamentally changing the climate, and building the Northwest into a land of fish and rice, with an investment of 56 billion.

They are developing Manzhouli again, trying to build it into the "Hong Kong of the North" and investing 100 billion yuan in this project plan, which sounds completely unreliable.

Pulling Mou Qizhong to sit down, Li Qingfeng took the lead in talking about business: "Old Mou, let's talk about the satellite launch first. Have you confirmed the specific plan and process with Moscow?"

"Of course, it has been decided long ago. Moscow is so poor now that they are almost penniless. Although they have inherited the satellite launching capability from their big brother, they don't have the money to launch satellites. I just mentioned the idea and Moscow agreed immediately." When it came to business, Mou Zhexi excitedly recounted his experience in Moscow.

Listening to Lao Mou bragging about being received by this leader and invited to dinner by that general, Li Qingfeng did not interrupt but just listened quietly.

Meetings with leaders in Moscow are not worth much right now. If Qingfeng Li goes there and shows a little willingness to invest, the president will be able to meet with him.

After waiting for Lao Mou to finish boasting, Li Qingfeng said slowly, "The satellite launched is a live TV satellite. Did we get the ownership, or is it just a transponder?"

"Why do we need to take ownership of the satellite? We can rent out the transponder to TV stations to earn rent. If we take ownership of the satellite, won't we be taken advantage of?" Mou Qizhong looked at Li Qingfeng in confusion.

Li Qingfeng thought about it and agreed. The live TV satellites currently launched were not the satellites needed for his Starlink plan. They were just for accumulating experience. It was not necessary to take ownership of the satellites. It was enough to take ownership of the transponders.

"How are the preparations going so far?"

"I have established the Nand Commercial Satellite Company in Sijiu City. As for the operation of satellite purchase, launch, transponder leasing and other projects, the general framework has been completed. All that is missing is your capital injection. As soon as the funds are in place, the first satellite can be launched immediately."

Speaking of which, Lao Mou has pretty good luck. Over the past few years, he has launched three or four satellites in Moscow, and none of them failed. All of them were launched successfully.

It's just that Lao Mou is too restless, bragging all the time outside, investing here and there, and he has no stable source of income.

Recently, there was a problem with the capital chain, and the satellite project that had already generated profits was sold to the French at a low price.

As a result, the project, which should have been profitable, ended up losing a lot of money.

As for the satellite project with Lao Mou, it was already agreed a long time ago. Now that Lao Mou's preparations were complete, Li Qingfeng had no reason to hesitate and asked directly, "How much is the total investment? How much do you need me to invest?"

"The total investment is 30 million US dollars, half of which will be shared by Nan De and Lemon," Mou Qizhong said quickly.

Fifteen million dollars is not a lot. Li Qingfeng was about to nod and agree, but then he remembered Mou Qizhong's tricks in Manzhouli last year. He couldn't help but look at him with suspicion: "Old Mou, when investing, you won't cheat me like you cheated the Manzhouli government, right?"

Last year, Lao Mou threatened to invest 100 billion yuan in Manzhouli, Mongolia, and build it into the Hong Kong of the north.

The local government actually believed in this unreliable project and actually allocated ten square kilometers of land in Manzhouli to Lao Mou.

When it came time to invest real money, Lao Mou only took out 150 million.
This is just Lao Mou’s routine operation, the real cool operation is yet to come.

After Lao Mou got the land, he mortgaged the ten square kilometers of land to the bank and received 450 million in cash.
"How could I cheat you? What happened in Manzhouli was just an accident." Lao Mou felt a little embarrassed when talking about his actions in Manzhouli.

The two were quite familiar with each other and knew each other's strengths, so Lao Mou told the truth: "I was just bragging a little to show off in front of the whole country, but who knew that the locals actually took it seriously and put me on the spot. I can only bite the bullet and take it one step at a time."

"."

Among the many bigwigs who made a name for themselves across the country in the early days of reform and opening up, there was only one weirdo like Lao Mou.

No wonder when something happened later, there was no one to help and speak for him. He had offended all the leaders, and they all wanted him to go in and operate the sewing machine. Who could help him?
"Okay, launching a satellite is a project that we have agreed on a long time ago. Since you are ready, let's start during this period. I will contact the finance department tomorrow and transfer the money to the company's account."

Having verbally agreed to invest in the satellite company, Li Qingfeng hadn't seen Mou Qizhong for a long time, so he didn't let him leave at noon and asked him to stay for lunch to try the working lunch at Huaxin.

Naturally, Lao Mou would not refuse this, and the two of them stood up and left the office side by side.

When he was leaving the office, Secretary He Guangqin came up to him and whispered, "Teacher Li, the old man is here. He will be visiting the company now."

When Li Qingfeng heard that Li Fuqiang had come to the company, he felt a headache.

It's easy to tell why the old man came to Huaxin. His image as a gentle and elegant businessman might be ruined.

When Mou Qizhong heard that Li Fuqiang had arrived, he immediately offered to go and say hello.

Li Qingfeng couldn't refuse such a reasonable request, so he could only take Lao Mou to find Li Fuqiang.

Led by He Guangqin, the three searched everywhere in the Huaxin Building for Li Fuqiang.

Along the way, Qingfeng Li prayed silently in his heart that his father would not cause any more trouble.

At this time, Li Fuqiang maintained the same image as the day he went to the Busan restaurant for dinner. He walked around the company with his hands behind his back, just like a leader on an inspection tour.

The employee who was responsible for taking Li Fuqiang on the tour accompanied him carefully, always with a respectful smile on his face, and introduced the company's facilities to Li Fuqiang from time to time.

Occasionally, Father Li would stand in front of some advanced equipment to observe it, nod his head twice in satisfaction and then leave, as if he could understand it.

Fortunately, Mr. Li is very sensible. He may act cool, but he never affects the normal work of his employees. He is afraid of embarrassing himself and does not make random comments.

After finding Mr. Li, and seeing that he hadn't caused any trouble, Qingfeng Li breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to ask, "Dad, weren't you touring around the city these past few days? Why are you here at the company?"

"Oh, I passed by here and heard Xiao Liu say that this is our family's property, so I came up to take a look and asked Xiao Liu to take your mother and the others to continue shopping." Li Fuqiang turned his head to take a look, and spoke in a relaxed manner using the poor Mandarin he had learned in the past few days.

As he spoke, Li Fuqiang looked at Mou Qizhong standing beside him and asked in confusion, "Hey, this comrade looks very familiar. Have we met him somewhere before?"

"Hey, hello, old man. I'm Mou Qi Zhong. You must have seen me in newspapers or on TV." Mou Qi Zhong smiled and stretched out his right hand towards Li Fuqiang.

Mou Qizhong is sixteen years older than Li Qingfeng and ten years younger than Li's father. It is really difficult to call him uncle, so he simply uses "grandfather" instead.

Li Fuqiang naturally knew who Mou Qizhong belonged to. After all, it was a canned food-for-plane deal, and everyone in the country knew about it.

He stayed on Mou Qizhong's face for two seconds, then stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Xiao Mou, you are very good, I am optimistic about you, work hard, your future is limitless"
