Chapter 1067: Steady and Stable
"This scenery is actually quite good."
The wind in Jinmen is slightly different from that in the capital. You can't say it has the smell of oysters, which is too vulgar and too ugly.
It should be said that the warm breeze blowing in April is like a gentle hand, always with a bit of the freshness of sea salt, and mixed with some loneliness unique to spring.
When you stand on the bank of the Haihe River, watching ships shuttle and wander in the river, looking back suddenly, you will definitely think that your love will always be waiting for you not far away.
Of course, it is not to praise and describe the scenery in front of you more poetically, but just to want to remember a little mood at this time.
Otherwise, you have also seen the famous mountains and rivers that Li Bai has seen. His poems are passed down by ten thousand mouths, but you only left a "wow" in the crowd.
People always have to be a little sentimental, otherwise what are they living for, as long as it is not excessive.
Especially intellectuals, if they encounter life changes, hardships, and setbacks, their emotional side will naturally be expressed at special times.
"I often stand here, looking at the home opposite, thinking about what Li Xin is doing at this time."
Wu Shuping raised her hand to tidy up the hair blown by the sea breeze by her ear, turned her head and looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "He is extremely cute."
At this time, there were only two of them on the pier, and Peng Xiaoli stood far away, not daring to approach.
Li Xuewu looked at her happy face, nodded slightly, untied his overcoat, and covered Wu Shuping with it.
"It's okay above, but the wind in the river channel is still hard."
He stretched the collar of the overcoat and wrapped Wu Shuping, who looked a bit plump after giving birth, inside.
Wu Shuping accepted his concern very calmly and said with a smile: "Gu Ning must be very happy, right? Is your daily life also like this?"
"I really haven't confirmed the topic of happiness with her. She shouldn't hate me."
Li Xuewu wore a navy blue administrative suit, looking a bit old, but more steady.
He blinked at Wu Shuping and said jokingly: "I'm actually not very familiar with her."
"Hahaha—!"
Wu Shuping was amused by him, grabbed the overcoat on her body and asked with curved eyebrows: "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, blind marriage and dumb marriage?"
"That's not to that extent. I still have this bit of freedom, after all, it's a new society."
Li Xuewu pointed to the scar on his face and explained jokingly: "When I was injured, she was my treating doctor. After leaving this scar on me, I decided to take revenge on her and marry her home."
"I didn't expect her to think so too."
In Wu Shumin's colorful curious eyes, he shook his head bitterly and said: "Gu Ning wanted to give me another knife to erase the dark history of her early medical career."
"I don't believe it—"
Wu Shuping pursed her lips and smiled: "Yafang mentioned you two to me. Not only are your personalities suitable, but even your temper and lifestyle are suitable."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows in surprise. Only then did he remember the time Wu Shuping went to the Sihe Academy.
"Maybe this is getting on the wrong sedan chair and marrying the right husband, a wrong love and marriage."
He summarized and leaned on the railing on the pier and looked at the residential area opposite, asking: "What about you, how did you meet Mr. Lai?"
"Childhood sweethearts? Matchmaker's words? Campus love? Or..."
"None of them—"
Wu Shuping stood with Li Xuewu and looked at the home opposite, recalling the past and said: "It was on the ship returning home, Teacher Yang organized us to get to know each other, and just like that..."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head slightly, and the smile on her face gradually became bitter.
Li Xuewu didn't comfort her, nor did he say joking words, just accompanied her silently, looking at the rushing river water, full of longing.
"Actually, it's quite good now. I still have Li Xin, he is very cute." Wu Shuping sobbed and wiped the tears on her face, saying: "I have received all of Jiasheng's letters. He is safe and sound, everything is fine, so we have hope of reunion."
"Sorry, I made you sad."
Li Xuewu handed the handkerchief to her apologetically and said: "I originally wanted to say some happy things, but I didn't expect it, my fault."
"It's not your fault, I just miss him too much."
Wu Shuping sorted out her emotions, wiped her tears, and looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "How long will you stay this time? Go back on Monday or?"
"Tomorrow, go back on Saturday." Li Xuewu explained: "The site meeting will be held for two days, time is very tight, and there is a gathering with Jinmen Aquatic Products Company tonight."
"Do you need me to participate?"
Li Xuewu arranged for someone to pick her up. It shouldn't be just to see her, or stand here to act for some people.
Wu Shuping is a very smart and capable woman. Sensibility is uncontrollable, and IQ is her instinct for survival.
"Is it about preparing to build a recycling station? Or..."
"And the seafood supply chain, two things, one bright and one dark, both need you to preside over the work."
Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to go tonight. It's just a meeting, there will be opportunities later."
"No, it's not inconvenient."
Wu Shuping pursed her lips and looked at Li Xuewu and said stubbornly: "Since I want to do something, I choose to do it well."
"Thank you, I know this is a very difficult choice for you, sorry."
Li Xuewu nodded and explained: "The work here is very important, I can't rest assured of others."
"I know, so don't be too polite."
Wu Shuping smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your trust, this makes me very honored, and I also hope to support myself and have a job to raise Li Xin."
Although Li Xuewu once told her that as long as she helped him do the cover-up work here in Jinmen, the living expenses of their mother and son would be borne by him.
But even in the capital, in the closed environment of the prison, Wu Shuping still insisted on supporting herself and not relying on others to support her.
Having Li Xuewu need her talent is undoubtedly a good thing for her who is trapped in a predicament.
It is also out of respect for her that Li Xuewu dared to speak directly to her and ask her to participate in the operation of the recycling station in Jinmen.
Having such a talented person in Jinmen to master the operation of the recycling station, Shen Guodong doesn't have to worry about problems here at all.
Running back and forth from the capital to Jinmen is ultimately not a normal business method, not to mention that there is a lot of work in the capital.
"Your work in Jinmen is very important, especially in the early stage of the recycling station, the pressure will be great."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "You communicate more with Shen Guodong, he will help you complete the early construction, and I will also draw a few people to help you."
"Rest assured, I am not as fragile as you think, my family has also been doing business for generations."
Wu Shuping smiled confidently, and then said seriously: "I have the confidence to complete the work you handed over to me, but the premise is that I have to take good care of the child."
"This is certain, I think so too."
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "If Lu Jie can't take care of it alone, I can help you hire another nanny."
He pursed his lips and looked at Wu Shuping apologetically and said: "I can do limited things for you. Because Gu Ning is inconvenient to take care of the child at work, I ordered two refrigerators from Hong Kong and left one for you."
"No need to be so troublesome."
Wu Shuping smiled movedly and said: "And it's not a job running outside all the time. Will the helper you arranged for me know nothing?"
"Of course not, but their ability is limited, it is true, you need to make more decisions."
Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "I will draw someone back from Hong Kong. He is a brother I trust enough. You can arrange for him to do anything."
"In addition, Zhou Xiaobai, who came last time, is also willing to come to Jinmen to help you do things. I will also transfer two young people from the recycling station in the capital to here."
Such an arrangement was decided after he discussed with Shen Guodong. Erhaier has received the news and will return with the ship recently.
"It's Ms. Xiaobai. Isn't she working at the club in the capital?"
Wu Shuping blinked and said: "Last time she also mentioned this to me."
"Well, it's just playing in the club, it doesn't count as work. This time it is also mainly for learning and exercise."
Li Xuewu shook his head helplessly, looked at her and asked: "Did Zhou Xiaobai mention her family background to you?"
"No—but I can see it."
Wu Shuping said: "Between words and deeds, there are rules and seriousness that children from ordinary families don't have."
"Her father is a cadre with deep qualifications and works in the army."
Li Xuewu explained simply, and then said: "Whether she is in the club or coming to Jinmen, work is one aspect, you should understand what I mean."
"I understand, but..."
Wu Shuping asked in surprise: "If you want to exercise, shouldn't you go to the unit?"
"I think so too, I believe her parents think so too."
Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "But who let her not think so, rebellious children are always very willful."
"Although I haven't seen her father, I understand their family's arrangements and ideas."
Turning around, leaning against the railing, he said: "It should be waiting for her to grow up a bit, so that she can be sent to the army or other units to exercise."
"Now, let her be for the time being, anyway, there won't be any problems."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "You can't arrange for her to do the work of the recycling station. That is the general manager of the seafood supply chain I invited."
"Chi—hahaha!"
Wu Shuping couldn't help laughing, glanced at Li Xuewu and said: "Your courage is really big, not only did you abduct other people's daughter, but you also want to use other people's banner."
"Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't do anything, we are clean and white."
Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "Her father won't be afraid that I will use her daughter to do things."
"I'm afraid he is still thinking about using my convenience to give his daughter more opportunities to contact society, otherwise what do you think she can come to Jinmen for?"
"So, is she my leader?"
Wu Shuping asked amusingly: "Do I have to ask her for instructions and report work?"
"Don't, let her learn more from you."
Li Xuewu pointed to the opposite side of the river behind him and said: "Is it okay for me to arrange for her to live with you? It should be good for you."
"Will her father come to investigate me?"
Wu Shuping raised her eyebrows without caring, and asked with a smile: "If he asks about the relationship between you and Zhou Xiaobai, how should I answer?"
"Whatever, even if you say we slept together, it's fine—" Li Xuewu laughed heartily: "Her father won't care about this."
Wu Shuping narrowed her eyes and threatened deliberately: "But you really slept together!"
During the break at noon, Li Huade slept a spirit-replenishing sleep in the lounge, and felt refreshed after waking up.
Seeing Li Xuewu walking over, he greeted: "You didn't take a rest?"
"Went to see a friend."
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, refusing Li Haiyang's intention to make tea for him.
He took the initiative to report: "Is it going to be a meal with Director Han and Deputy General Manager Zhang tonight?"
"Well, Director Han arranged for the secretary to say so."
Li Huade drank a cup of hot tea that Li Haiyang had prepared long ago, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Said it's been a long time since we drank, and we want to practice."
He raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu and said: "If I had one-tenth of your drinking capacity, I wouldn't be blocked by him and clamoring."
"It's okay, I'll help you block the wine."
Li Xuewu sat down with a smile and said: "It's just that I don't know the firepower layout of the other party, I'm afraid that two fists are hard to beat four hands."
"There won't be too many people."
Li Huade waved his hand and said: "It should be just the four of us. Oh, by the way, you mean a friend wants to come together?"
"It is like this, leader."
Li Xuewu blinked slightly and said: "A friend from the capital distribution wants to sit together with us and ask for convenience."
"It doesn't matter, it's not an important meal, it's just making a friend."
Li Huade didn't react at first, until he didn't hear Li Xuewu's timely feedback, he thought clearly about the meaning in Li Xuewu's words.
He glanced at Li Haiyang who was organizing documents, looked at Li Xuewu opposite, raised his eyebrows, and confirmed.
Li Xuewu nodded implicitly, but said jokingly: "I hope you don't mind, I'll give you a surprise tonight."
"Hahahaha—"
Li Huade smiled and nodded: "I'm looking forward to you giving me a surprise tonight!"
The spirit raised at noon, the meeting in the afternoon was full of confidence.
In the large conference room of the Jinmen Trade Management Center, representatives of various departments and staff accompanying the Rolling Mill have arrived.
When Li Huade and Jing Yunong's group walked into the conference room, warm applause sounded instantly.
This applause must be warm, because today is the hat-giving meeting.
Knocking down 12 offices in one go, how many positions are set down?
6 will be built next month, and another 6 will be built in September. Before the official production of automobiles and motorcycles this year, the sales network must be laid out.
According to the three-year plan, this work should be completed within two years.
But who let the Rolling Mill talk about several big orders in February and March, with money in the pocket, and suddenly had confidence.
"Comrades are very enthusiastic, hahahaha—!"
Li Huade smiled and looked at the cadres and employees below after sitting down, and said: "Is it because you know there is good news today?"
He looked at Li Xuewu and Zhuang Cangshu on his right and asked: "It couldn't be criticism?"
Because of his words, the venue became serious instantly, and some cadres and employees who hadn't contacted the leaders much became nervous.
Li Huade looked at the bottom and nodded, his tone was serious: "I have to say the ugly words first. Hats can be given, but if the work is not done well, it is not as simple as taking off the hat."
"Right, Director Zhuang?"
"Yes, leader, we will definitely work hard."
Zhuang Cangshu was named by Director Li, knowing that it was not only aimed at him, but also at everyone in the management center.
Fed so many carrots in the morning, it's time to give a stick in the afternoon, otherwise they would be spoiled.
Warmth and tolerance are for the masses, seriousness and earnestness are for their persons in charge.
Li Huade nodded and signaled to Jing Yunong beside him: "Jing Deputy Director and I brought twelve test papers today."
He looked at the bottom and raised his hand and pointed, saying: "Those whose names are called today enter the examination room first, and the remaining six test papers are left for those who want to do things and dare to do things."
"Those who enter the examination room first don't be proud, and don't be nervous, play your talents normally."
Li Huade looked at some cadres sitting in the front row and said: "Use your youth and blood to cast a glory."
"The results of this test paper are not for me, Li Huade, to see, nor are they for Deputy Director Jing, or Deputy Director Li to see."
He patted the document in his hand and said: "It is for you to do, for all 32,000 employees in the factory to see, and for the organization to see."
"Those who perform excellently, the organization will not be stingy in training. Those who make up the numbers, comrades will drive you down, so you have to think clearly whether you can bear this heavy responsibility of opening up the territory."
Li Huade is representing the Rolling Mill at the site meeting, representing the Management Committee to express his attitude at the cadre appointment conference of the Trade Management Center.
This is not scaring them, nor is it joking with them.
The office director candidates appointed by the factory this time are all elite soldiers selected after careful investigation and investigation.
The Rolling Mill has no work foundation for many office locations selected this time. It is truly necessary for them to build trade nodes from scratch.
Li Huade gave them hope, and the Rolling Mill also invested huge manpower and material resources in this layout.
Therefore, the main theme of today's site meeting should not be happy and lively, but should be serious preparation to meet the challenge.
Jing Yunong also emphasized this point in her subsequent speech, focusing on explaining the strategic intention of the factory's laying of this sales network.
It is to open offices in major cities across the country by the end of this year to carry out trade, service, and procurement work.
The responsibility of the Joint Trade Center is very heavy, and the burden is also very heavy. The two main factory leaders personally attended the site meeting, which is enough to explain the severity of this work.
Jing Yunong announced in her speech the cities that will take the lead in opening offices in May: Jicheng, Fengcheng, Changshan, Lvcheng, Changan, Quzhou.
And the cities that will open offices in September are: Bingcheng, Yangcheng, Jincheng, Lincheng, Quancheng, Chuncheng.
Among the six cities that will start investment and construction in May, the Rolling Mill has a work foundation in Jicheng.
And Fengcheng, as the provincial capital of Liaoning Province, the Rolling Mill has also laid a good communication foundation with the other party in Hong Kong and Yingcheng work.
The other four cities have a weak work foundation, which is the goal of carrying out work with the attitude of self-reliance and arduous entrepreneurship that the cadres selected and sent by Li Huade must strictly implement.
Among the 6 cities that will start investment and construction in September, Bingcheng is located in Heilongjiang Province and can communicate through the nearby trade network.
Because the Rolling Mill has the experience of participating in the foreign trade fair in Yangcheng, it also has a certain foundation.
The fruit trade channels in Jincheng and Lincheng have been opened, and there is a relatively mature communication network.
Only Quancheng, which is closer to the capital, and Chuncheng, which is the farthest away, have no work foundation.
But regardless of whether there is a work foundation, the grass-roots creation of the office is difficult for the first batch of office cadres, and they are all heavy responsibilities.
Li Xuewu pointed out in his subsequent speech that the twelve key cities include provincial capitals and large cities. The creation of offices has an important strategic significance for the overall sales situation of the Rolling Mill.
Only by fixing the anchor points deeply can we connect points into lines, sweep surfaces with points, and finally form a comprehensive and specific sales network.
The office team is brought out, takes root, and whether it is good or bad depends entirely on whether the first cadre can take responsibility and dare to take on heavy responsibilities.
A bear soldier bears one, a bear general bears a nest. Li Xuewu patted the table and emphasized that he must win this tough battle and open a new situation for the Rolling Mill!
"Oh, it turns out to be Wu Laoshi—"
After the site meeting of the Trade Management Center ended, Li Huade and others conducted organizational talks with the cadres of the management center and the main persons in charge of the six offices that were about to open in May.
After the talk, Li Xuewu refused the evening banquet arranged by Zhuang Cangshu on behalf of Li Huade, and explained to Jing Yunong at the same time.
Jing Yunong didn't care that these two went out to socialize at night without taking her.
The journey was exhausting, and people were tired, especially after a meeting all afternoon.
She also agreed with Li Xuewu that she would eat a bite in the canteen tonight and rest early.
When Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huade out of the Trade Management Center, he saw Wu Shuping standing by the car in relatively decent clothes.
"Hello, Director Li, sorry to bother you today."
Wu Shuping greeted with a smile, walked over very politely, and held the other party's hand when she saw Li Huade reach out.
"Hahahaha—this Li Xuewu!"
Li Huade shook Wu Shuping's hand lightly and let go of it properly, pointed at Li Xuewu and said to her: "He told me at noon that he would give me a surprise tonight, hahahaha!"
"I didn't expect it to be you—!"
"Re-introduce you."
Li Xuewu joked: "This is Ms. Wu Shuping, who is responsible for the seafood supply chain distribution business."
"Hahahaha, good, good."
Obviously, Li Huade was very satisfied with the person in charge of the seafood business arranged by Li Xuewu in Jinmen.
For others, this project is very hidden, and they can't even find the specific person working.
The project has no implementation subject, let alone an interest subject, and is completely attached to the business communication of the four units.
Even Li Huade, he doesn't know who is doing this project and who is the person in charge.
Of course, if you say that his wife is the person in charge, that is completely covering his ears and stealing the bell.
However, at the end of last month, his wife received a salary remittance slip, administrative level 15 deputy division chief salary standard, 127 yuan, not more, not less, hit into the bank account.
You say a dignified Management Committee Director will care about this little salary?
Of course he doesn't care. Li Huade's family doesn't worry about living treatment at all, but this is a matter of attitude.
And is this 127 yuan?
This is 127 yuan per month!
Can you guarantee that Director Li's wife will not be promoted because of outstanding work performance and excellent results?
There are also labor bonuses and salary subsidies.
Old Li doesn't care how this money came from, and doesn't care how much Li Xuewu earned in this channel. He only cares whether this money is safe.
How to determine if this money is safe?
Very simple, Director Han's wife of the Aquatic Products Company received salary remittance, and Deputy General Manager Zhang's brother-in-law also received salary return.
Most importantly, Zhou Xiaobai also received it.
Li Xuewu will not joke about his future, let alone joke about other people's future.
He dared not joke about Zhou Zhennan's daughter, so Old Li was very gratified with his arrangement.
At the beginning, he was not envious of Li Xuewu's layout and arrangement in the distribution unit.
Frontier office, he specially arranged his secretary as the person in charge.
Such a good trade foundation, such a stable work foundation, was actually made into a pile of dog shit by Jin Yaohui, and he had to pinch his nose to ask Li Xuewu to take over the distribution unit, which was disgusting.
It was enough to arrange a way out for him, but this Jin Yaohui dared to hate him, and even threatened him by jumping off the building in front of him.
For such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, could he still be kind? Could he still be soft-hearted?
Of course, for Jin Yaohui's family, he didn't make things too difficult.
Li Xuewu didn't know who he arranged to talk to Jin Yaohui's family, anyway, collecting the body and cremation, there was no reaction at all.
What reaction?
The floating wealth in the family was confiscated by the discipline inspection, if they dared to jump again, those hidden ones would have to be dug out. Do Jin Yaohui's children want to go to work?
Otherwise, how could Li Huade say that Jin Yaohui is a big fool, who could actually make a move of knocking on the door in the middle of the night, making him so angry that he wanted to give the other party a slap.
He really didn't collect much from the frontier office, but he was made a mess by Jin Yaohui.
If Jin Yaohui was as steady as Li Xuewu, why would he reuse Li Xuewu.
Just looking at the people he associates with and the means of his actions, he knows that he is definitely not someone who can be manipulated by him, but cooperation is still possible.
"It is really a woman who has read poetry and books."
Li Huade sat in the back seat of the car and praised Li Xuewu with a smile: "In terms of temperament and language expression, it is different."
"Director Li, you are over-praising."
Wu Shuping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and smiled and said: "I still need to learn more from you."
She glanced at Li Xuewu and said: "After all, I have no management experience. If you have anything you don't understand in the future, I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."
"Hey, isn't it far to say that—"
Li Huade smiled understandingly, understood the hidden meaning in her words, nodded and said: "We live next door to each other, but if there is a need, helping each other is what we should do."
"Comrade Xuewu, what do you say?"
"Yes, Director Li, it is still you who speak with intimacy. She really needs to learn."
Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Wu Shuping and said: "Since Director Li didn't treat you as an outsider, don't be too polite, just do things well."
"Yes, I understand."
Wu Shuping smiled gently and said: "If I do anything wrong, please criticize me more."
"Look, just finished saying—" Li Huade smiled and pointed at her, and said to Li Xuewu: "After you said that, she cared."
"However, you should communicate more with Comrade Xuewu in business. He has a lot of experience."
Li Huade shook his finger beside his head and said: "The important thing is the train of thought. If the train of thought is correct, the work will be easy to do."
"I am not worried about her in business."
Li Xuewu looked at the car and was about to arrive at the reception hotel, and signaled to Li Huade in front: "I'm just afraid that Jinmen is not easy to talk to."
"So I brought her here today to open up the situation with your tiger power."
"It doesn't matter, I'll talk to Old Han here."
Li Huade touched Li Xuewu's arm and said: "You can talk about Zhang Changming's side later. I believe Wu Laoshi can handle it."
As they were talking, the car had stopped in front of the hotel, and the reception cadre of Jinmen Aquatic Products helped open the car door, and Zhang Changming had been waiting outside.
"Director Li, hahaha, long time no see."
Zhang Changming smiled and shook hands with Li Huade, and greeted Li Xuewu who got off the car later: "Deputy Director Li, how have you been?"
"No illness, no illness, hahahaha—"
Li Xuewu joked and shook hands with him, then beckoned and hugged Wu Shuping's shoulder and introduced to the other party: "This is my friend, Wu Shuping."
"Hello, Deputy General Manager Zhang, we have met."
Wu Shuping took the initiative to greet: "Last time you and Director Han were playing cards at Director Li's house, and you came to my side for a meal, just next door."
"Oh oh, I remember, Wu Laoshi."
Zhang Changming smiled and shook hands with her and said: "Sorry, sorry, you are too beautiful today, I didn't recognize you."
He quickly let go of his hand, patted Li Xuewu's arm and said: "Xuewu didn't introduce you much last time, just said it was a confidante."
"It is indeed a person who has read poetry and books, and the words are all in sets." Li Xuewu smiled and said to Li Huade: "Why don't I remember such a sentence!"
"Hahahaha—quick, please inside!"
Zhang Changming smiled and raised his hand to signal inside the hotel: "Director Han is waiting for us inside."
"Director Han said he wants to practice?"
Li Huade joked while walking inside: "Did he eat elixir recently? Dare to challenge us like this? Don't you know we have a Dinghai God Needle?"
"You have to talk to our Director Han about this."
Zhang Changming smiled and said: "Director Han said soldier to soldier, general to general. I only need to accompany Xuewu well, and he will deal with you."
"But I say in advance, I will definitely not be able to drink Xuewu, I admit defeat."
He pulled Li Xuewu's arm and said: "If I have any offense at the wine table, you just treat me as having worked hard."
"This doesn't look like Deputy General Manager Zhang—!"
At the door of the private room, Li Xuewu smiled and said to Li Huade: "He was also a warrior on the alcohol battlefield!"
"What kind of warrior can pass the test in your place!"
A secretary opened the private room door, Li Huade walked in first, smiled and shook hands with Director Han, and exchanged pleasantries.
Li Xuewu was yielding to Zhang Changming, and finally Wu Shuping walked in first, followed by Li Xuewu, and finally Zhang Changming.
The secretary was very sensible and closed the door temporarily, guarding the door, and would only open the door when serving dishes.
In the private room, except for Wu Shuping who is not very familiar, the four are considered drinking friends.
In the pleasantries, there are jokes and closeness, and under the excitement is the involvement and bondage of different interests.
After introducing Wu Shuping, Li Xuewu, Director Han took the initiative to shake hands with her and talked about the meal at home last time.
After sitting down in order, the secretary at the door knocked gently, and then the waiter serving dishes walked in with cold dishes.
"Today it was not prepared in our guesthouse, knowing that you are all tired of eating."
Han Qingwei smiled and said: "This restaurant's Huaiyang cuisine is unique, it is really authentic and rare in Jinmen."
He pointed at Zhang Changming and introduced: "It was Changming who told me, I came once and couldn't quit, especially liking the taste here."
"It seems that I have a blessing today."
Li Xuewu smiled and looked at him and said: "Our Director Li said that your taste in diet is unique, with a distinct evaluation standard, and it is worth trusting."
"Your Director Li is also an old glutton."
Han Qingwei smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to move their chopsticks, and he nodded and said: "I have no other hobbies, I only love the desire of the mouth and tongue, but unfortunately my body doesn't allow it."
"I couldn't afford to eat when I was young, but now I can afford to eat, I can't move."
"Still need to pay attention to restraint, I also like this bite." Li Huade picked up the wine glass and said to him: "It is very necessary to find a Chinese medicine doctor to regulate it."
"Chinese medicine? It's almost a fairy."
Han Qingwei picked up the wine glass and said: "Unless it is a rejuvenating elixir!"
After speaking, he clinked glasses with Li Huade and said: "Come on, we can't compare with young people, let's drink slowly and ponder the taste, hahahaha!"
Huaiyang cuisine is one of the four traditional cuisines, originating from Yangzhou and Huai'an.
Raw materials are mostly aquatic products, with river and lake fresh as the main material, top cooking skills as support, original flavor and color as superior, and satisfying everyone's mouth as pursuit.
Elegant and popular without losing its elegance, especially the unique concept of "harmony, essence, clarity, and freshness."
Han Qingwei treats guests, either eating and drinking in the guesthouse, or it must be this kind of high-end restaurant with unique taste.
Being able to treat
Being able to host a dinner here, and specifically securing a private room, is enough to show his influence in this part of Jinmen.
This is not a formal social engagement between work units, but merely a long-awaited reunion between good friends.
Therefore, there is no competitive drinking or toasting like the jokes made before at the table; there is no adversarial relationship here.
From recent work, they moved on to the weather, and then discussed the changes in the situation and their impact.
Both are insiders, drinking the bitterness in their own cups.
Han Qingwei and Li Huai De hold similar positions, but he envies Li Huai De a bit more.
After all, the Steel Mill is visibly soaring, while he, sitting on the advantage of local resources, cannot see any breakthrough development for Jinmen's aquatic products.
At the table, they did mention the matter of Beijing filling in the Liangma River to grant land to the Steel Mill a few days ago.
Han Qingwei jokingly teased Li Huai De, inviting him to come to Jinmen for official business, saying the feng shui is better here.
Li Huai De jokingly replied that Jinmen has Han Qingwei, an immortal of wine, which is enough; he, old Li, had better not be greedy for more.
It is clear that someone entrusted Han Qingwei to probe old Li's stance; after all, people in Hubei Province can hear the wind, let alone Jinmen.
However, old Li's mouth is tight; he didn't give Han Qingwei a chance to speak it out, directly denying this possibility, saying coming to Jinmen is not appropriate.
This place indeed possesses the convenience of a seaport, but it also loses a side of land, lacking a natural gateway.
Look at all the dynasties throughout history; which emperor would want to establish the national capital by the seaside?
One must be steady in life, and the same goes for business; unlike the extreme pursuit of economic convenience in later generations, for a large group, it is better to be steady.
Both sides also exchanged views on business work; the construction progress of the Steel Mill's food factory has been damaged, but Li Huai De guarantees it will not be delayed for too long.
The processing of seafood products and canned goods will still follow the cooperation plan, purchasing raw materials from the aquatic products company.
Of course, since Li Xuewu has already brought Wu Shuping along, the topic of the seafood supply chain was not discussed; those who understand, understand.
Han Qingwei may not be short of this one or two hundred yuan every month, but he is short of a stable and safe 127 yuan, or even more.
So when he saw Wu Shuping, he already had confidence in this project.
With wine and food finished, both host and guests were happy.
Because Li Xuewu and Li Huai De are returning to Beijing tomorrow, Han Qingwei saw them to the entrance and said a few more friendly words.
Afterward, he stood in front of the door, watching their car leave, appearing full of sincerity.
On the way back, Li Xuewu and Li Huai De chatted for a while about the upcoming cooperation.
He advocates a cooperation strategy of leading and pulling, giving suppliers preferential convenience for fishing boats and patrol boats, and actively cooperating in aquatic product procurement to dispel their concerns.
Li Huai De is of the same opinion; he still has a very good impression of Han Qingwei and Zhang Changming of Jinmen Aquatic Products, and he also urged Li Xuewu to study it after returning to see if the channels can be widened.
Li Xuewu has thought about it; the only way is to build a cold chain transportation system, but the Steel Mill only has two refrigerated trains, so naturally, they cannot compete with the aquatic products company's business in winter.
It is convenient to occupy the market in the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn, but the transportation costs are there; at this time, how many people can afford seafood?
Therefore, deep processing of seafood products is the only channel for deep cooperation.
Only then can the seafood supply chain operate under such cost constraints.
Based on short-distance, refrigerated transportation, supplying Steel City, Feng City, Ji City, Beijing, and other places; people in these places dare to eat it and can afford it.
Getting off in front of the two villas, Li Xuewu and Wu Shuping watched Li Huai De leave before returning to their side.
Wu Shuping told Li Xuewu that she saw Zhou Miaomiao in the afternoon, right across the street.
Knowing that she was going to follow Li Xuewu and the others to the banquet, she was still a bit jealous.
Li Xuewu shook his head with amusement and said nothing; some people don't even have the qualifications to be arrogant because of favor, yet they actually want to put on the airs of a main consort.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard the child crying; Wu Shuping hurriedly took off her coat and went to the guest room on the first floor, which was the room where Lu Jie lived.
Perhaps it was because they came back late and the child was hungry, crying so sadly.
Lu Jie walked out of the room and greeted Li Xuewu apologetically.
Li Xuewu waved his hand, not minding this; children, no matter how carefully they are cared for, will cry; that is his instinct.
After washing up upstairs, Wu Shuping had already returned to the master bedroom holding the child.
"Let me hold him, good child."
Li Xuewu smiled and took the child from her arms into his own, saying, "You are the older brother; the one in Beijing is the younger brother, and you also have an older sister named Li Shu."
