Reborn in the red age

After boasting to the people from Intel and Nokia at the second dinner, Qingfeng Li stopped Jack Ma, who was beaming, and asked with a smile, "Teacher Ma, I see you were quite busy tonight. How was it? Did you gain anything?"

"Hehe, fortunately, fortunately, I got a few small promotion orders." Jack Ma smiled, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Jack Ma's eyes were not concealed at all, and fell completely into Li Qingfeng's eyes.

It seems that this young man gained a lot from this trip. The several small orders he mentioned were estimated to be worth at least 100,000 RMB each.

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Your website has only been online for a few days, right? Being able to receive a few orders is a good start and a good sign."

"No, no, it's all thanks to you for bringing everyone together that I have the opportunity to promote my website. I must treat you to a meal. Teacher Li, you must do me the honor." Jack Ma looked at Li Qingfeng sincerely and extended an invitation to dinner.

"Haha, Mr. Ma, you are too polite. This is your ability and has nothing to do with me. I am not that shameless."

Li Qingfeng was rather cautious about the idea of ​​having dinner together. Since their identities and status were different, every word and action would be over-interpreted by others.

I had a meal with Jack Ma today, who knows what news may come out tomorrow.

As the rumor spreads, Jack Ma might inexplicably become a member of his faction, or even more outrageous, he might inexplicably have a disciple.

Wherever there are people, there are factions, and the business world is no exception. There are factions divided by region, by industry, and even by company.

The above factions are just routine operations. The outrageous ones are those who entered the industry in the same year and those who have the same background.

There are all kinds of messy factions, and there is a complex relationship between them where you are in me and I am in you.

Even the Lemon Company, as a large collective, has split into dozens of factions.

There are three major factions that can be counted, such as the mainland faction, the overseas Chinese faction and the white alliance.

In addition to these three major factions, there are countless small factions within each major faction.
In addition to these factions, there is also the student faction composed of Wu Simin, Liu Guangmin and others. Although they are small in number, their position among all factions in the company is not low at all.

After all, he was a student that Li Qingfeng had taught for four years, a true elite of the Central Army.
Fang Wanzhen officially announced her retirement next year, and the next candidate has not yet been decided. Various factions are eyeing the position of general manager, and the open and covert fighting has become increasingly fierce.

There was an endless stream of methods such as tripping others up and shooting from behind, and many things ended up at Qingfeng Li's desk.

Li Qingfeng already felt very troubled by the factional struggles within the company and was too lazy to get involved with the mess outside the company.

In the face of Li Qingfeng's polite refusal, Jack Ma did not force it. After thanking Li Qingfeng again, he said goodbye and left, walking towards the place where the domestic bosses gathered.

Looking at the direction where Jack Ma left, Li Qingfeng smiled and shook his head. He had reaped a lot of rewards from the foreigners with his mouth, and now it was the turn of the domestic bosses.

This guy's donation of 10,000 yuan was really worth it. He donated 10,000 yuan and earned millions in return. This return on investment is simply terrifyingly high.
"Mr. Li, the short man just now is a very eloquent person. If he was an American working as a stockbroker on Wall Street, I think he would definitely become a multi-millionaire." The speaker was Trevor, an Intel executive. He was holding a glass of champagne and looked at Jack Ma with some appreciation in his eyes.

Li Qingfeng shrugged and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Is it possible that he will become a billionaire in our country in the future?"

"Haha, it's possible, of course it's possible. This little guy has huge energy in his small body." Trevor said the words of agreement, but his tone was teasing.

Qingfeng Li smiled slightly, without saying much, he picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Trevor, and drank the rice wine in the glass.

"Li, I heard that Huaxin, the company you control, is developing a super graphics accelerator card. How is the progress now?" After finishing a glass of wine, Trevor asked about the internal research and development situation of Huaxin.

As soon as these words came out, Qingfeng Li's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, Huaxin has a spy.

Although the development of the graphics accelerator card is not a strictly confidential project, people in other departments of the company, besides those in the R&D department, also know some information about it.

The problem is, this project has never been announced to the public. It is only an internal project of the company. No one in China knows about it. How did you, a foreigner, know about it?
Although he was thinking very fast in his mind, his face remained calm and he kept smiling as he spoke: "The project has just been launched and the progress is not high. What's the matter? Intel also has the idea of ​​entering the graphics accelerator card market?"

"Of course, as a leader in the global chip industry, our company has always had a keen interest in the field of graphics accelerator cards. We are currently looking for partners around the world to produce our own graphics accelerator cards." Trevor shook the champagne in his hand, his eyes flashing with undisguised pride.

Li Qingfeng curled his lips, thinking how could this grandson be so pretentious, don't you know how you became the leader in this industry? And he still boasts shamelessly to flatter himself.

If it weren't for your government's intervention, your crappy factory would have closed down long ago.

Although he complained in his heart, Li Qingfeng would not slap his ally in the face. Instead, he would go along with what the other party said and flatter him.

Trevor was also a wonderful person. While Li Qingfeng was praising Intel, he was praising Lemon Company. The two sides had a business promotion interaction that lasted for more than ten minutes.

After the business talk ended, Trevor pretended to be joking and asked, "First it was the decoding chip, then the communication chip, and now it is developing a graphics accelerator card. Huaxin's research and development direction is really broad. I wonder if it will be interested in the central processing unit in the future."

Ever since Huaxin began to be able to design and produce its own chips, especially communication chips, Intel has been worried that Li Qingfeng would abandon them and do it on his own. After all, the alliance between the two parties is not very reliable.

If Lemon Company abandons Intel, it is likely to pose a threat to Intel with its market share in operating systems.

Probing Qingfeng Li's attitude was Trevor's main purpose for coming to China this time. As for the donation, it was just a side thing.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qingfeng immediately understood what the other party meant. He looked at him meaningfully, gave him a reassuring look, and said, "Don't worry, I have no idea about CPU. Although Huaxin's research and development directions are broad, it will not take food from its allies."

"Haha, right, right, we are allies, so we should support each other and develop together. How can there be competition between allies? Wouldn't that give our opponents an opportunity?"

"Of course. Intel's position in the chip field is very important. Huaxin still has a lot to learn from you. I hope that Intel will give us some advice and provide us with some technical support in chip research and development."

"As it should be, as allies, it is common for us to help each other in technological research and development."

The two of them smiled on the surface, but in fact they were both thinking about their own things in their minds, and did not believe a single punctuation mark in what the other said.

I don't know what Trevor is thinking, but Li Qingfeng is thinking that once Huaxin's lithography plant is successfully developed, Huaxin's CPU project will be immediately launched and developed, snatching Intel's market. The two countries belong to different camps, and the two companies have no trust at all. The alliance is formed purely out of interests.

Once there are greater benefits or more suitable allies, whether it is Lemon Company or Intel, they will ruthlessly kick the other party out of their chariot.

After the two evening parties ended and all the guests were sent away, Li Qingfeng, who had been smiling just a moment ago, immediately frowned and called out to He Guangqin who had just returned from seeing someone off.

"Guangqin, you should have heard the conversation between Trevor and I just now, right?"

“Yes, I listened to the whole thing.”

"Who do you think is the person who leaked the information in Huaxin?"

He Guangqin pushed his glasses and showed an embarrassment on his face: "It's hard to say. There are too many people in Huaxin. There are more than 10,000 people in the factory and the headquarters. There are at least 5,000 people who know about the graphics accelerator card. Trying to find the person who leaked the information from these 5,000 people is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

It is indeed as He Guangqin said, too many people know this news, and trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, there are countless cases of information leaks in domestic companies these days. It’s not because there are so many spies, but because the awareness of confidentiality is not so high, and most people cannot resist the temptation of money.

Foreign forces can get a lot of secret information by just paying a little money.

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Li Qingfeng said seriously: "We have to find a needle in a haystack. We have to search quickly. There are too many secrets in Huaxin. There can't be any leaks of the photolithography project alone."

"Then how do we investigate? Should we conduct an internal investigation within the company?" He Guangqin pushed his glasses, looking hesitant.

"There are too many people. If we rely solely on internal investigation, it will take a long time to find the person. Let's bring in external personnel."

"Outsiders? What do you mean?"

"If you have any problems, find the police and mobilize the police to investigate."

"."

After this incident, Li Qingfeng's good mood at the Charity Federation was wiped out. He could not even take care of the nutrition meal project for the time being. He asked He Guangqin to select suitable personnel as soon as possible to connect with the Charity Federation, and then called the police and drove directly home.

When he got home, Hu Jiabao, who had arrived long ago, was already asleep. Li Qingfeng, who tiptoed to the bed, still woke up the sleeping Hu Jiabao.

Hu Jiabao sat up from the bed and looked at Qingfeng Li with sleepy eyes: "What time is it?"

"One o'clock"

"Have those people been arranged?"

"Well, I came back after sending everyone away."

As Li Qingfeng spoke, he tiredly unbuttoned the collar of his shirt. He was really old and couldn't stay up late. After two nights of hard work, Li Qingfeng was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Hu Jiabao folded Li Qingfeng's clothes and put them on the bedside. He yawned and said, "When I came back, Chuyi told me that my dad called me in the evening. I called him back. He said that he had nothing to do after retirement. He saw the nutritious meal donation you organized on TV and wanted to go to the mountainous area to do something for the local people."

"Forget it. You are already old and have dedicated most of your life to the medical field. You should just enjoy your life at home after retirement. The conditions in the mountainous areas are terrible. Even young people living in the city can't stand it, let alone an old man in his seventies." After hearing this, Li Qingfeng immediately refused without hesitation.

"That's what I said, but my parents insisted on going, saying that I should go while I can still move and make use of my remaining energy."

"Forget it. Cars can't get into the mountains. You have to crawl to get there. My parents have trouble climbing stairs, so they can't adapt to the harsh environment in the mountains."

"I've tried to persuade you, but you can't persuade me. You have a lot of tricks. Think of a way."

"How can you say that? I'm a gentleman, how could I have any evil ideas?" Li Qingfeng couldn't stand being slandered, even by his own wife, so he stiffened his neck and refuted it.

Hu Jiabao rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Okay, I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, you have many ways to deal with it, okay?"

“That’s more like it.” Li Qingfeng’s eyes rolled, and an idea immediately came to his mind. He smiled and gave Hu Jiabao some advice: “Look, don’t parents want to make contributions and use their remaining energy? There’s no place to use it. Just use it in Gusu.”

"What do you mean?"

"Donate some money to the local welfare home in Gusu and set up a charity foundation. Let the old couple be in charge. They don't have to do anything but give money to the welfare home. When they are free, they can bring some gifts to visit the children."

Hu Jiabao smiled brightly and patted Qingfeng Li on the shoulder. "I thought you didn't have many ideas, but you're up to something bad as soon as you turn your eyes."

"."

Li Qingfeng was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned around and went to sleep with his arm as a pillow.

The next day during working hours, when Li Qingfeng arrived at Huaxin, several policemen in police uniforms had been chatting with Xie Wanmin, secretary of the Huaxin Party Group, in the reception room for some time.

After receiving He Guangqin's report in the early morning, the branch in the jurisdiction did not dare to neglect it and reported it to the Municipal Bureau overnight.

Huaxin is a representative of domestic high-tech enterprises on the list, not to mention that it has state shares. After the Municipal Bureau received the news, they woke up everyone from their beds at night to hold a meeting, regardless of the early morning rush hour. They quickly organized police forces and selected several police officers with rich experience in economic crime investigation to form a special task force, which arrived at the Huaxin Building early in the morning, led by the deputy director.

When Li Qingfeng passed by the reception room, he glanced inside but had no intention of going in.

It's enough to have Xie Wanmin here. It would be too much for me to show up myself. I can just wait for the report in the office. (End of this chapter)
