Reborn in the red age
Chapter 497: I can’t afford to offend the Republicans, but I can’t afford to deal with you?
Back in the car, Li Qingfeng looked a little unhappy. He lit up his usual Peony cigarette, rolled down the window, started the engine and drove away without saying a word. Hu Jiabao did not disturb him, but just sat quietly beside him.
"Is the situation over there, Brother Yongjun, not very good?" Hu Jiabao asked softly after the car had driven some distance away.
Throwing the cigarette butt out of the window, Li Qingfeng sighed, "It's not bad, it's quite bad. Both husband and wife were laid off. Brother Yongjun couldn't find a job after being laid off, and his eldest son works odd jobs on a construction site."
"Times have changed so much. In the past, we all worked in the same educated youth camp. Although life was hard, it was almost the same. But now..." Hu Jiabao couldn't continue here. He shook his head and sighed deeply.
Li Qingfeng did not continue speaking in line with Hu Jiabao's words. This is the way the world works.
The times are developing and society is progressing. Some people get on the bus, some get off, and there are also some who miss the bus.
She informed Hu Jiabao that Zhou Yongjun would be leaving the next day, and asked her to ask for leave from school, buy some gifts or specialties in the morning, and then send Zhou Yongjun to the station together.
"It's so soon. We've only been here for two days. I was thinking about taking Brother Yongjun to visit the Forbidden City tomorrow," Hu Jiabao said in surprise.
Qingfeng Li sighed softly: "What's the point of visiting the Forbidden City? He doesn't have the heart to do that. He is now looking forward to returning home as soon as possible to tell his family the good news."
"That's right, Brother Yongjun's family hasn't had a good life these years." Hu Jiabao nodded in agreement and continued, "I see that the collar of Brother Yongjun's clothes is seriously worn out. I guess my sister-in-law doesn't have many good clothes at home. I'll go to Wenhui's store to get some clothes for him tomorrow."
“Why do I have to go to Ma Wenhui’s store to buy clothes for anyone?”
"Isn't that taking care of Wenhui's business?"
"Taking care of people's business, the question is, have you ever paid them?"
“I gave it to her, but she didn’t want it.”
"."
Early the next morning, the couple sent their two children to school and began to buy gifts for Zhou Yongjun to take back.
After sending most of the purchased items to the post office and mailing them to the address Zhou Yongjun gave him yesterday, he took the few remaining gifts and went to the Kunlun Hotel to pick up Zhou Yongjun.
After sending Zhou Yongjun to the platform, while they were preparing to wait for the train, Hu Jiabao handed the bag in his hand to Zhou Yongjun: "Brother Yongjun, Wenhui asked me to bring some clothes for my sister-in-law and the children. They are all in this bag. I don't know their specific sizes, so I picked the largest size. I'll go back and ask my sister-in-law to use the sewing machine to alter them so they can be worn."
Zhou Yongjun wanted to refuse, but thinking that they all knew his situation, he did not refuse: "Our family has been living a tight life these years, and your sister-in-law hasn't bought new clothes for a long time. I will accept this shamelessly. Xiao Hu, when you see Sister Wen Hui, please say thank you for me."
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."
In the next few days, Li Qingfeng found a piece of worn clothes, put away his mobile phone, rode the bicycle that Hu Jiabao bought when he was in college, and began to wander aimlessly in the city.
After having lunch at a roadside stall, he planned to go to Qianliang Hutong to chat with old neighbors. As soon as his bicycle turned into a small alley, a young woman holding a child stopped Li Qingfeng.
Before I could figure out what was going on, the woman put the child on the ground and started unbuttoning her clothes.
Li Qingfeng was so shocked by this sudden action that he dropped his bicycle and quickly stepped back, raising his hand to stop him: "Hey, hey, comrade, what are you doing? You can't do that. You can't do that."
"What can't you do? In broad daylight, you have such a dirty mind."
The young woman rolled her eyes at Qingfeng Li, then grabbed the collars of her clothes with both hands and pulled them open, revealing rows of CDs hanging inside. She then enthusiastically introduced them to Qingfeng Li, "Brother, do you want a movie? Let's play some at home to relieve our boredom."
After hearing what the young woman said, Li Qingfeng finally reacted. He thought he had met a female hooligan, but it turned out that she was selling CDs.
As the number of DVD players increased, the demand for discs also continued to rise. Not only could audio and video stores be found everywhere on the roadside, but even many housewives who were taking care of their children at home and found it inconvenient for them to go out to work would buy some discs from wholesalers and start selling them on the streets.
Along the way, Qingfeng Li met a lot of people.
But other people usually put the discs in baskets and sell them. This is the first time I've seen a woman like this.
Li Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the bicycle from the ground, and said to the young woman in a bad mood: "You female comrade, really, you are just selling CDs, how can you be so bad as this?"
"Brother, the way you are dressed, I see that you look like someone who knows the business. I have quite a few good stuff here, including CDs of Golden Leopard, Huaxi Night, and Passionate Group Road. Take a look, they are all hot-selling items." As she said this, the young woman stepped forward, pulled out a CD from her lining, and handed it to Li Qingfeng.
The young woman was still breastfeeding, and the two headlights made Li Qingfeng dizzy. He quickly called out to the young woman who was coming over here.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't get close to me. I want to buy your disc. How much is it?" Li Qingfeng was about to take money out of his pocket.
When the young woman heard what Li Qingfeng said, she immediately smiled and said hurriedly, "One ticket is thirty-five. Big brother, give me one more. If you take two, I'll give you five dollars off for each ticket."
After years of development, CDs have made a breakthrough and have long been mass-produced in China. The price of CDs has been driven down. Pengcheng sends large quantities of produced CDs to pirated CD printing factories all over the country every day.
An ordinary pirated disc is only sold for ten yuan outside now, so the price quoted by this young woman is a bit outrageous.
Li Qingfeng's hand froze in his pocket as he was taking out the money. He frowned and said, "Big sister, your price is not very reasonable. An ordinary pirated disc outside is only ten yuan a piece. Why are you selling it so expensively?"
"Brother, this is different from what's sold outside. This is a lifestyle film. Thirty-five is not expensive at all." The young woman raised her eyebrows and said ambiguously.
Li Qingfeng was not aloof from the world. He had some knowledge of the famous life films, which were the ones shown in video halls at midnight.
While Li Qingfeng was silent, the young woman continued to introduce her film: "Brother, Summer in Huaxi is a domestic life film. I heard that it was shot by college students. The three heroines in it are so beautiful. They are all beautiful girls from Sichuan Province."
"Come on, don't say anything. What kind of life film is this? How could I not know what it is? These are dirty, immoral films. They are illegal, don't you know that?"
As he spoke, Qingfeng Li gestured at the child on the ground and said righteously: "Look at you, you're still holding a child, it's simply..." Before Qingfeng Li could finish his words, the young woman's face had turned a little ugly. She quickly closed her open clothes, glared at Qingfeng Li with a bad look, and was about to leave with the child in her arms.
Seeing the young woman was about to leave, Li Qingfeng hurriedly took two quick steps to catch up with her. Without waiting for her to speak, he whispered, "Wait, give me a copy of the domestic one you just mentioned."
"."
The young woman paused and looked back at Qingfeng Li in surprise, unable to believe what she had just heard.
"What are you standing there for? Forty, no need to change, give it to me quickly."
"."
After paying off his debts, Li Qingfeng had no plans to go back to Qianliang Hutong to visit his old neighbors. He got on his bicycle and turned around to head home.
As the first domestically produced life film, this thing must be viewed with a critical eye, and its harm to society must be analyzed and resisted.
As a gentleman, you must never tolerate evil!
Li Qingfeng pondered this matter in his mind and pedaled the bicycle a little faster.
The young woman happily took the forty yuan and spat at Qingfeng Li's disappearing back, saying with disdain, "Bah, a gangster is a gangster, why pretend to be a gentleman?"
The young woman muttered to herself as she swiftly picked up the child from the ground, tidied up his clothes, and her face returned to its previous smiling expression. She had made an easy profit from this deal today, but she had to move to another place quickly to avoid that guy coming over later.
"Fuck you, what the hell is this?"
After returning home, Li Qingfeng walked straight into the study, inserted the CD into the CD-ROM drive on the host computer, watched the content played, and was so angry that he cursed.
The movie being played on the screen at this moment was The Calabash Brothers, produced by the Magic City Art Film Studio in the 1980s.
I didn't see the three women, but I did see seven gourds calling grandpa.
Listening to the voice of "Grandpa, Grandpa" coming from the speakers, Li Qingfeng felt a headache.
After all this trouble, Qingfeng Li no longer had the mood to continue wandering around the city, so he decided to put on a suit and shirt and go to work.
Arriving at Huaxin Building, Li Qingfeng had a stern face. The employees he met along the way greeted him cautiously, for fear of offending this boss who was obviously in a low mood.
He Guangqin saw Li Qingfeng coming back with a bad look on his face. He hesitated for a long time outside the office, but finally knocked on the door and walked into Li Qingfeng's office.
"Teacher Li, there are a few things I need to report to you."
"Speak," Li Qingfeng said without even raising his head.
He Guangqin swallowed his saliva, opened the folder and said, "CCTV reporter Liu sent a message that the content of the interview that day will be broadcast tomorrow, May 13th."
"In addition, the latest news came from America. We have successfully completed the relevant negotiations with Microsoft. This cooperation mainly involves the online wallet business. In addition to the domestic market in America, the global business is valued at $100 million, and this will be used as capital investment in Microsoft. At that time, we will own 8% of Microsoft's shares."
"Aerospace Industries sent back a message."
After listening to all of He Guangqin's reports, Li Qingfeng nodded. They were all good news. All of his plans had been achieved, and the depressed mood he felt after being fooled by that young woman was slightly relieved.
Seeing that Li Qingfeng's expression had eased, He Guangqin quickly continued, "By the way, Activision has a lot of objections to us selling the remaining business to Microsoft. They protested to our company and publicly accused our company of being dishonest in the newspapers."
Damn, I compromised, do you really think I'm made of mud?
Li Qingfeng slammed the table hard, shaking the documents on the table a few times: "Who does he think he is? He even accused us of being dishonest? Why should we sell things to them? Don't they know?"
He Guangqin was so frightened that he shrank his neck and dared not speak.
Standing up and pacing back and forth in the office, Li Qingfeng snorted coldly: "Didn't they publicly accuse us in the newspaper? Let's also put an advertisement in the newspaper and say that if Activision feels that we are not trustworthy, then we can buy it back at double the price and ask them if they will sell it to us."
"Teacher Li, Activision spent 200 million. If you promise to buy it back for double the amount, they might actually agree to it right away," He Guangqin said cautiously.
"He bought it for nothing. It's only two hundred million dollars. Is that a lot?" Li Qingfeng glared at He Guangqin and continued, "This operation is led by the Republican group. After Activision gets the two hundred million, should it give tens of millions of party dues to the Republican Party? Should the leaders of the party take some? Should it make some money for itself? Should it share some with the other capitalists who jointly promote it?"
"How much will be left after dividing the money? They won't do such a stupid thing as just giving each of them a few million dollars. They are planning to make the pie bigger so they can eat their fill."
Li Qingfeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his aura was fully released. He Guangqin was so frightened that he dared not breathe. He just nodded submissively, waiting for Li Qingfeng to continue speaking.
After venting all his anger, Qingfeng Li took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then said, "It's settled. Go and make arrangements to publish this news in American newspapers with great fanfare."
"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll arrange it right away." He Guangqin paused, then continued to remind them, "I'm afraid that after Activision sees our statement, they will continue to pester us. After all, their reaction this time is so big, I don't think they will give up easily."
"If they continue to pester us, then we will not be polite. We will collect some dirt on them and then issue a targeted statement to expose all of it so that the American people can see what kind of people they are."
After hearing this, He Guangqin secretly groaned inwardly, thinking that this time he would really have to go toe to toe with Activision. However, looking at Li Qingfeng's resolute attitude, he could only bite the bullet and agree, saying that he would do it right away.
Regarding the dispute with Activision, Li Qingfeng said that Activision is nothing.
If they can't afford to offend the Republicans, can they not deal with a small game publishing company like you?
You pissed off your buddy and he snatched the game you released, leaving you with nowhere to go. (End of this chapter)
