Reborn in the red age

After the banquet, the first thing Qingfeng Li did was to politely drive away those annoying compradors and health product dealers.

The remaining industrialists who are pleasing to the eye will stay and have the next round of chat in Huaxin's reception room.

He had not had much contact with domestic entrepreneurs before. After today's contact, let alone Wanxiang Group, which makes machinery, the rest, whether it is Liu Yonghao who makes feed, Zong Qinghou who makes children's drinks, or the bosses who make breeding, each of them has a unique temperament, which left a deep impression on Li Qingfeng.

Except for those who had urgent matters to deal with in the company, Li Qingfeng did not let the rest of the people leave. He booked rooms for them to stay at the nearby New Century Nikko Hotel.

The next day, he took them to visit Huaxin's chip factory, and then they took a bus and Li Qingfeng personally sent them to the airport to fly home.

Arriving at the airport, Jack Ma, who had been following him for two days, got off the bus and approached Li Qingfeng. He said in a slightly awkward voice, "Teacher Li, I am short of money. How can I afford the plane ticket?"

The Jack Ma of this period was not the Jack Ma who later shouted "I don't like money, I'm not interested in money".

Teachers' income is not high, the translation agency in Hangzhou doesn't make any money, and the newly established Haibo Network Company doesn't even know what it does, let alone the income.

At this time, Jack Ma really didn't have much money in his pocket, but he really wanted to make money, and make a lot of money.

Air tickets are not cheap these days. A short-distance flight will cost hundreds of dollars, and a longer journey will cost thousands of dollars.

Although Jack Ma could still afford it if he gritted his teeth, he came here from Hangzhou by train, and given the situation on the train, he didn't dare to bring much money with him.

When I met Jack Ma, I didn't notice that any part of his body was big, strong or prominent. I guess there wasn't much money in the small pocket of his anti-theft shorts, maybe a thousand yuan at most. This amount of money is not enough to buy a plane ticket now.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry. We at Lemon Company will cover all the airfare. Just get on the plane with confidence," Li Qingfeng waved his hand and spoke before Jack Ma could finish his words.

When Jack Ma heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with surprise and gratitude, and he hurriedly said: "Oh, Teacher Li, how can I be so embarrassed? Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. A plane ticket doesn't cost much. Besides, you are my guests. I invited you here. It's only natural for me to pay for your departure tickets," Li Qingfeng patted Jack Ma's shoulder and said with a smile.

After hearing what Qingfeng Li said, Jack Ma felt warm in his heart. He rubbed his hands with a simple smile on his face.

Just as he was about to say something, Li Qingfeng saw Lao Ren coming to find him, so he waved his hand gently, interrupting Jack Ma's words, and looked at Lao Ren with a smile.

Lao Ren reached out his hand and shook Li Qingfeng's hand, then said with a smile: "Teacher Li, the plane to Pengcheng will start checking tickets soon, so I will leave first. Don't forget what we agreed on. I will arrange for someone to come when I get back."

"Don't worry, I will ask someone to clean up the office for you today and equip you with office equipment," Li Qingfeng said proudly.

What I agreed with Mr. Ren was to rent the Huaxin Building to establish Warwick's R&D center and office in the capital.

Originally, Qingfeng Li was going to lend it to them for free, in the name of his shares in Warwick, but Lao Ren insisted on paying rent, and Qingfeng Li couldn't persuade him. He rented them a floor at a preferential price, and promised to equip them with all the office furniture and equipment they needed for free.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Li. I'll go first and we'll see each other another day."

"Okay, see you next time."

After seeing off Old Ren who came to say goodbye to him, Qingfeng Li turned to look at Jack Ma: "Teacher Ma, what did you want to say just now?"

"It's like this, Teacher Li. Actually, the reason I was able to come here this time was because I took advantage of a trick and tricked you."

Before Jack Ma could finish, Qingfeng Li interrupted again, "You mean the fact that you didn't buy a car but only published a statement in the newspaper?"

"Um, yes, I came back from America and have always wanted to see you, but I can't see you through normal channels, so I can only take a different approach and try to take a gamble."

"It's not a lie. I only invited companies that supported Mercedes-Benz in the newspaper. I didn't say that you have to buy a car to receive the invitation. The fact that you were able to meet me in that way shows that you have ideas and courage. Most people don't have the courage to spend one-third of their net worth to gamble for a chance to meet me."

Having said that, Qingfeng Li looked at Jack Ma with appreciation.

There is a reason for this guy's success. His courage and ability to take action are not something that ordinary people can have. It can be said that Jack Ma has all the internal qualities required of a successful person.

After a pause, Qingfeng Li continued, "We haven't talked privately in the past two days. Today, as we are parting, I will give you a chance to chat with me privately. What questions do you have that you need me to answer?"

Jack Ma was excited to hear that Li Qingfeng, a pioneer of the international Internet, was willing to help him solve his problems.

With eyes full of expectation, he asked: "Teacher Li, where do you think the future development of the Internet will go? I am confused now. After returning from America, I have some inspiration in my mind, but I have no idea how to do it specifically."

Li Qingfeng smacked his lips and looked at Jack Ma with interest.

After a long while, he finally asked a strange question: "Are you interested in money?"

".Forehead"

Jack Ma was confused by this question. He had no idea what the question was, but he still followed his heart and nodded quickly.

"Ha ha"

Li Qingfeng showed a meaningful expression, thinking in his heart that if Jack Ma dared to show off on TV again in twenty years, he would jump out and tear him down.

He had already thought of the words to sabotage him, and when the time came, he would directly tell the reporter: "When I first communicated with Jack Ma privately, I asked Jack Ma if he was interested in money, and Jack Ma nodded very quickly." Putting away his thoughts, Li Qingfeng thought about Jack Ma's question and said: "The future of the Internet must be full of infinite possibilities. At present, it is still in its infancy, but it has already shown strong vitality."

"In the future, the speed and scope of information dissemination will grow exponentially, and the way people obtain information will be more convenient and faster, and will no longer be restricted by time and space. For business, this means that companies can find target customers more accurately and promote their products and services."

“If you don’t know how to do it, you might as well start with the most basic information integration and connection.”

Li Qingfeng's words have pointed out the direction of entrepreneurship, allowing Jack Ma to do his yellow pages.

In later generations, Jack Ma made five million in just three years from the Yellow Pages. He was later recruited by Telecom and got a job in a state-owned enterprise.

Now, Qingfeng Li didn't want to interfere too much with his entrepreneurial trajectory, so he decided to just follow history.

Jack Ma, who was a little confused just now, listened to Li Qingfeng's story, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he already had a rough plan in his mind.

Seeing Jack Ma's eyes, Li Qingfeng knew that he had already made up his mind, so he didn't continue talking. Instead, he changed the subject and revealed an important piece of information to Jack Ma:
"The international Internet that China connected to last year will be open to the public in the next few months. There is no need to worry about not being able to connect to the Internet in China."

When Jack Ma heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. "Teacher Li, this is really great news. I was worried that there would be no Internet access in China. If I were to engage in Internet-related business, the market size would be greatly limited. Now that it is open to the public, this worry is finally resolved. I can do it with confidence."

"Now that you have an idea, just go for it. The time, the place and the people are all right. I believe that you will be seen in the newspaper soon."

"Thank you so much, I"

"Don't say these polite words. Just support our Mercedes-Benz cars after you become big."

"Don't worry, no matter how big my business is in the future, I and my company will always be loyal customers of Mercedes-Benz."

Li Qingfeng didn't believe these words. What he and his company would always be loyal customers of Feichi Enterprise was just hearsay.

Nothing in the world remains unchanged. People drive the right car for the right stage. If Jack Ma can still create Alibaba and make it a leading Internet company in China, if Mercedes-Benz cars are not up to the level of the company at that time, they will still be ruthlessly replaced.

After sending the last guest to the plane, Qingfeng Li yawned. He felt a little tired after getting up so early this morning.

Sitting in the car, Li Qingfeng was just about to go home and rest when the mobile phone in the car rang. He picked up the phone and heard the excited voice of Mou Qizhong, whom he hadn't seen since the beginning of the year: "Brother, do you want to buy US dollars? Cheap! Large quantity! Guaranteed authenticity!"

"."

Li Qingfeng didn't react for a moment, and several questions popped up in his mind. Was he a victim of a phone scam? Or did Lao Mou commit a crime to make a quick buck?
After a long silence, Lao Mou finally responded when he heard "Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

"Lao Mou, you are still young and have plenty of good life to enjoy. You must not go down the path of crime." Li Qingfeng's tone was very serious, revealing an unquestionable determination.

Mou Qizhong was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, seemingly not expecting Li Qingfeng to react like this, and then he quickly said, "Brother, what are you talking about? How could I embark on the path of crime?"

"Come on, buy US dollars, cheap? Large quantity? Guaranteed authenticity! Which of these words has nothing to do with illegal crimes? You are not trying to make money with me, you are trying to drag me into the fence with you," Li Qingfeng complained.

"You can't stay in the fence. All the goods come from the national mint. At least half of the small-denomination US dollars circulating in Asia come from here."

"hiss"

Li Qingfeng took a deep breath. The information revealed by Old Mou was quite shocking.

His expression changed several times before Qingfeng Li tentatively asked on the phone, "Are you talking about the super dollars shipped from the east?"

Anyone who uses the super dollar knows that it is something made by the mint and is theoretically real.

Because this thing is impossible to detect, technically they are exactly the same, the only way to distinguish them is to look at the serial number.
"Yes, there is a great famine outside now. I heard that people have already started to starve to death. They are printing Benjamins like crazy now, trying to find reliable buyers to buy up large quantities of this batch of goods."

After hearing what Lao Mou said, Qingfeng Li felt no wavering at all. Wasn't it normal for famine to occur over there?
"Where are you now?"

"Moscow"

"I'll tell you when you come back"

“Okay, I’m on a plane now.”

After hanging up the phone, Qingfeng Li fell into deep thought.

It’s not that he wanted to purchase these super dollars, but Li Qingfeng was very curious about this thing and wanted to see these super dollars.

After all, you can't make much money doing this, at most 20 or 30 million. Not only does it take a long time, but the risks are also high.

What's more, the profit is not high, and the lemon company makes money much faster than a money printing machine.

One smuggling trip takes one month and can earn more than 10 million US dollars in net profit. In the same period of time, Lemon Company has already received several hundred million US dollars in gross profit.

Only someone like Lao Mou who doesn't make much money would be interested in this line of work (End of this chapter)
