Reborn in the red age

Just as Li Qingfeng thought, the head teacher did not continue to dwell on this matter at the parents' meeting.

He just took it out and pointed it at Li Qingfeng and his daughter, and then continued to talk about the things to pay attention to when going from primary school to junior high school, and urged parents to supervise their children's studies.

After the meeting, a large group of parents and their children buzzed out of the classroom.

After leaving the crowd and returning to his car, Li Qingfeng's smiling face immediately changed, and he said with a dark face and annoyance: "Okay, Chuyi, you are really good. The teacher held a class meeting to talk about the winter vacation homework, but you didn't say a word. Today, I almost made a fool of myself in front of so many people."

"I don't know either. If I knew, why wouldn't I tell you?" Chuyi shrugged and said with a grin.

"Don't be so frivolous with me. Don't invite me to your parent-teacher meetings in the future. I won't come."

"No, today is an exception. Look at the usual parent-teacher conferences, where has this kind of thing happened?"

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever asked someone to write my homework for me, but did that make your mom and I look good?"

"Next time, definitely next time"

"hehe"

When I got home, Hu Jiabao, who had been working overtime tonight, had not come back yet. Cai Genhua, who should have left after making dinner, had not left either. She was sitting on the sofa watching Shiwu doing his homework.

When he saw the father and daughter coming back from the parent-teacher meeting, he said hello and hurried off work to go home to take care of his own children.

"Dad, what did my sister and her friends say at the parent-teacher meeting?" Fifteen put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked curiously.

Li Qingfeng snorted unhappily, threw his coat on the sofa, and sat down. "What else can I say? Talk about your children's studies. Some parents help their children write their homework. That's not right."

He deliberately emphasized the words "writing homework for someone else" and glared at Chuyi as he spoke.

Chuyi stuck out her tongue at Li Qingfeng, made a face, slapped Shiwu on the back of the head for bringing up irrelevant issues, and quickly slipped into her room, fearing that Li Qingfeng would say something to her again.

After getting slapped for no apparent reason, Fifteen glared at Chuyi's back in dissatisfaction.

After returning to the room on the first day of the new year, Fifteen took out a small notebook from his schoolbag, opened the pages, and wrote something on it seriously.

After Fifteen finished writing, Qingfeng Li curiously snatched the notebook and checked the contents.

"March 1995, . My sister attended a parent-teacher conference today. When she came back, I just asked how the conference went. My sister slapped me. I didn't say anything."

Looking at the contents written in the notebook, and then looking at Fifteen who looked indignant, Qingfeng Li started reading from the first page.

"On March 1994, 3, my sister took my snacks away. I asked her for them, but she refused and beat me. I endured it."

"On March 1994, 3, I helped my sister run errands to buy snacks. My sister promised to give me five yuan for the errand. After I came back from buying the snacks, my sister denied it. I asked for the money back, but she not only refused to give it to me, she also kicked me twice. I endured it."

"March 1994, 3, I."

After flipping through the densely written "revenge diary" with a mixture of laughter and tears, I looked at Fifteen and didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, you know what, this kid Fifteen is quite vindictive. Every time he gets beaten, he writes it down in a notebook.

Looking at Fifteen, Qingfeng Li asked, "What do you want to do by memorizing these things? When you have the ability in the future, you will seek revenge on your sister?"

Fifteen stood up, carefully glanced at Chuyi's room, and said in a low voice with great enthusiasm:

"Yes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When I grow taller than my sister, I will start taking revenge according to the notebook. I am not doing this to prove how great I am, but to take back everything I have lost, one by one."

Li Qingfeng smacked his lips. Fifteen's words sounded familiar to him, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

After a long while, I finally remembered where this sentence came from.

He looked at Fifteen with a dark face and said in a deep voice, "Have you been secretly watching A Better Tomorrow at home?"

"Yes, Xiao Ma Ge is my idol, I want to learn from him," Fifteen said with admiration.

"If you dare to watch Hong Kong movies again, I will break your legs"

"."

Facing Qingfeng Li's dark face, Fifteen nodded obediently without saying anything.

Looking at Fifteen's performance, Qingfeng Li touched Fifteen's head with satisfaction. This child is quite obedient.

Just when Qingfeng Li went to the dining table to eat, Fifteen returned to the room and silently took out another notebook and began to write on it:

"March 1995, "

For a period of time after the New Year, Li Qingfeng was extremely busy, whether it was the newly started production of the Feichi 300, the research and development of the international communication satellite officially launched by the Aerospace Industry Corporation, or the sanctions from the United States.

These three things happened at the same time, and each one required Li Qingfeng's participation and approval, making Li Qingfeng a little overwhelmed.

For several days in a row, I had to go to Huaxin Building on time to take charge.

He Guangqin had just arrived at the Aerospace Industry Corporation to attend a seminar on international communications satellites when the phone in his hand rang.

The phone call informed Li Qingfeng that there was a call from the American branch. It was from Shao Hengwei, who said that he had something to report to Li Qingfeng.

Although Li Qingfeng's mobile phone has opened international long-distance service, the signal is really poor.

Making an international long-distance call is not easy in the first place, and it is even more troublesome to call back if the call is disconnected halfway.

In desperation, he could only ask Yi Xuexue to attend the seminar on his behalf, while he got in the car and hurried back to Huaxin.

"Teacher Li, I have found out clearly that Microsoft has somehow managed to get in touch with Republican bigwig Newt Gingrich. He is very interested in our online wallet and wants to replace Activision in taking over our online wallet business." Listening to Shao Hengwei's voice coming from the microphone, Li Qingfeng tapped on the table and fell into deep thought.

Li Qingfeng knew that Newt Gingrich was an important figure in the conservative Republican Party in the U.S. Congress.

In last year's mid-term elections in the United States, the Republican Party achieved a major victory under the leadership of this old man, and defeated the Democratic Party in one fell swoop.

Later he became a political leader of the Republican Party and a powerful figure in American politics.

Li Qingfeng was not surprised at all that Microsoft's Gates had a connection with such a person. The political situation in the United States was different from that in China. Money was paramount there, and the president was a representative pushed forward by the big capitalists. Given Gates' family background, it was normal for him to know high-ranking politicians.

Microsoft was interested in online wallets, which was something Qingfeng Li had not expected.

After thinking for a while, Qingfeng Li asked, "What business is Microsoft doing now?"

Ever since defeating Microsoft and IBM's cooperation on operating systems again, Li Qingfeng hasn't heard much from this old friend.

I haven't been to America much in recent years, so I really don't know what that guy Gates is doing now.

As soon as Li Qingfeng finished speaking, Shao Hengwei immediately replied: "In addition to the old business, Microsoft has focused on games in the past two years and has launched several games one after another, but the market response is not very good. Recently, they intend to create a comprehensive game service forum. It may be for this reason that they are eyeing our online wallet business."

After learning that Microsoft wanted to compete with Activision for online wallets, Shao Hengwei spent money to purchase Microsoft's information consulting through a covert commercial espionage company, the so-called business information consulting company.

Although there was very little information, all of which were about obvious business arrangements and did not involve any information related to technology, Shao Hengwei still inferred some secret information from the information he received.

"No matter how the Republicans negotiate, we only have three options. First, sell the business to Activision before the Republicans reach a conclusion. Second, wait for the conclusion and then sell it to Microsoft according to the White House's instructions. Third, show integrity and tear up the previous verbal promise and confront the White House head-on."

Hearing that Li Qingfeng's tone was a little off, Shao Hengwei tried to persuade him: "Well, I think we don't need to be so hard on money. One hundred and fifty million US dollars is still a lot. After recovering our initial costs, we can still make a profit of one hundred million US dollars. Adding a little money is enough to buy an advanced chip production line."

Having said that, Li Qingfeng knew what to choose without Shao Hengwei's persuasion.

Although Li Qingfeng might be forced to change the buyer halfway through the project sale, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but compared with 150 million US dollars, face was nothing.

You can't just give up money for the sake of face, right?
After thinking for a while, Li Qingfeng said, "Well, you go and talk to Activision. Add 50 million to the previous offer and ask them to put our company on the cooperation whitelist. Sign a contract with them and ask Activision to guarantee that the commission for the sales of our game cards will not exceed 10%."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away to make a request."

"Wait, I haven't finished talking yet."

"Please tell me"

"After signing the contract with them, you can contact Microsoft and ask them if they are interested in divesting our online wallet business outside the US market. If they are interested, you can also sell the remaining business to them."

Currently, only the online wallet business in the American market is being discussed for sale. The wallet business in Europe and Japan is not included.

No matter how powerful the White House is, it cannot cover the sky with one hand. It is impossible to force an international company to sell all its global business to them.

After hearing Li Qingfeng's trick, Shao Hengwei in America was stunned: "Ah, this. The essence of our online wallet business is the North American market. Two-thirds of our performance comes from the North American market. After divesting the American market, the remaining leftovers, Microsoft should not be interested, right?"

In 1995, America's GDP led the world, its per capita income was also high, consumers had a strong willingness and ability to consume, and there was a strong demand for all kinds of goods and services. At that time, America was the undisputed largest consumer market in the world.

As Shao Hengwei said, after stripping away the American market, what remains are just leftovers.

"Hehe, that's not right. Microsoft will definitely be interested in it," Qingfeng Li said with a chuckle.

“I don’t quite understand.”

“Since Microsoft has set its sights on the online point-of-sale card business, even if it fails to complete the acquisition, it will certainly not give up easily. It is very likely that it will imitate our model and develop its own wallet business.”

Li Qingfeng said this with a sly smile on his face, and continued, "If they develop it themselves, it will be time-consuming and laborious. They lack people and channels, and it will take three or four months to get it done. By then, Activision will have already digested our market. What else is there for them to play?"

"We will sell them the business after divesting the American market. Microsoft will use a month to quickly integrate it. Then we will change the shell and directly enter the American market to compete with Activision. Let them fight each other."

"In addition, we don't want cash. We want to invest in Microsoft through the project, and we can also give Microsoft a large cash investment."

Li Qingfeng became more and more excited as he spoke. He thought that his operation was brilliant. If he could successfully acquire shares in Microsoft, he could recover a huge loss.

Although if Microsoft loses its killer operating system, it still has a lot of nails to fix its rotten ship. Microsoft's development in other businesses is also not weak, and it is still a large software company with a market value of more than one billion US dollars.

Taking advantage of this Internet bubble, Microsoft, which has incorporated the global point card sales business, may be able to increase its market value several times.

Shao Hengwei was listening on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but secretly admire Li Qingfeng's plan, which was a good trick of "killing with a borrowed knife" and "reaping the benefits" at the same time.

"Teacher Li, your idea is indeed brilliant. It's okay to invest in the project, but can Microsoft accept our cash investment? After all, their company is doing well and doesn't seem to be short of money," Shao Hengwei asked worriedly.

"If they don't accept our investment, just talk to Microsoft slowly. Anyway, they are the ones who are in a hurry, not us." Li Qingfeng continued calmly while fingernails pressed, "And my requirements are not high. As long as the total shares can account for 10%, Microsoft should not refuse."

Shao Hengwei pondered for a while and felt that the problem should not be serious, so he quickly responded: "Teacher Li, you are still thinking far-sightedly. I will do as you say."

"Well, I trust you to do the job, but you have to keep a close eye on it and don't let Microsoft play any tricks. Also, you have to pay attention to the details of the terms when negotiating with Activision, so as not to suffer a loss later." Li Qingfeng reminded worriedly.

"I understand, Teacher Li, I will be careful." Shao Hengwei quickly assured.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingfeng sat in his office in Huaxin Building and rubbed his temples. He had been overworking his brain recently and felt like his head was about to explode.

Fortunately, things in America have been resolved for the time being and all we need to do is wrap it up.

After flipping through the schedule on the table and seeing the arrangement to treat domestic business owners to a meal tomorrow, Li Qingfeng felt a headache again.

Li Qingfeng really didn't want to bother with those people. (End of this chapter)
