Chapter 2630: Highly concerned

Li Yimiao said, "I want to ask, if the Mi Group forms a joint venture with our Hujiang Machinery Factory, will it not be like other joint ventures, carrying out large-scale layoffs?"

Mi Xiuyuan smiled. Li Yimiao quickly said, "Mr. Mi, I'm not asking for myself. I am indeed asking for the workers in our factory."

Mi Xiuyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "I believe you, Engineer Li. Talents like you don't have to worry about finding a job. I can also answer you: if I am truly fortunate enough to form a joint venture with Hujiang Machinery Factory, I will definitely not carry out large-scale layoffs. I will retain everyone who can be retained."

Li Yimiao showed a smile this time: "That's really great. Come, Mr. Mi, I'll toast you again!"

Mi Xiuyuan looked troubled and said, "My alcohol tolerance isn't good; I can't drink so fiercely."

Su Xinghui smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Come, Engineer Li, I'll drink this cup with you on behalf of Mr. Mi."

Li Yimiao raised his glass very readily and drank this cup with Su Xinghui. He was truly very happy. With Mi Xiuyuan making this statement, the workers of Hujiang Machinery Factory could be considered to have a place to settle.

After drinking this cup, Li Yimiao filled his glass again and said to Su Xinghui, "Director Su, I'll toast you. Thank you for inviting the Mi Group here!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Engineer Li, you are so happy? Now the Mi Group has just come in, the negotiations haven't started yet, and there isn't even a stroke of the character 'eight' yet. You look like the cooperation between the Mi Group and Hujiang Machinery Factory has already been decided."

Li Yimiao said, "I have heard that this time the mayor has spoken, letting the Mi Group and the Ono Company compete fairly. Whoever has better conditions will cooperate. The Ono Company's conditions are so harsh, how could they compete with the Mi Group?"

Su Xinghui said, "Engineer Li, you are very well-informed. You even know what the mayor said just yesterday."

Li Yimiao smiled and said, "Such things have no secrets to begin with. Isn't there a saying? The content of the discussion at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee—as soon as the Standing Committee meeting ends, everyone knows it."

Su Xinghui knew that Li Yimiao must have his own news channels. Now there are many people concerned about the joint venture of Hujiang Machinery Factory.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll drink this cup with you, wishing the Mi Group and your Hujiang Machinery Factory a smooth and successful cooperation."

With his worries gone, Li Yimiao drank freely. Mi Xiuyuan drank with him while chatting casually, talking about some topics on how to manage Hujiang Machinery Factory in the future. Li Yimiao answered fluently, and his insights were quite enlightening for Mi Xiuyuan.

Although Mi Xiuyuan was a good hand at business management, he had only managed his own enterprises, directly following modern industrial and commercial management rules and regulations. Forming a joint venture with Hujiang Machinery Factory was still a first for him.

Hujiang Machinery Factory was originally a state-owned enterprise. Where would Mi Xiuyuan have experience dealing with state-owned enterprises? And state-owned enterprises are completely different from private enterprises; it is impossible to completely and crudely copy the management methods of private enterprises.

Now that he heard Li Yimiao's words, Li Yimiao's understanding of Hujiang Machinery Factory was very beneficial to Mi Xiuyuan, allowing him to take fewer detours.

Finally, Li Yimiao was seven or eight parts drunk. Su Xinghui said, "Engineer Li, let's drink until here today. Li Jun, send your uncle back."

Li Jun hadn't drunk much. He nodded and said, "Director Su, I will definitely send my uncle home safely. You can rest assured."

Su Xinghui and Mi Xiuyuan returned to the municipal government guesthouse. Mi Xiuyuan said, "This Li Yimiao is really a talent; he is worth utilizing."
