Chapter 1094: Has the era changed?
"It's still the sauerkraut accumulated at home."
Liu Yin came out of the kitchen, smiling as she said to Han Shu: "Han Laoshi, you don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"
"Old Aunt, both of us mother and son like to eat sauerkraut. You don't have to be so polite."
Han Shu smiled and coaxed Li Ning, sitting on the sofa in the dining room and replying: "Our family throws away quite a bit every year, we didn't dare to accumulate much this year."
"Put in more fatty meat, put in more oil."
Li Xuewu instructed Qin Jingru: "Sauerkraut is delicious only when it absorbs oil."
"Only you know how to eat!" Liu Yin smiled and pointed at him, asking Han Shu: "Do you like to eat steamed or boiled?"
"Old Aunt, if you are so polite again, I won't dare to eat, haha—"
Han Shu hugged Li Ning and stood up, explaining to Liu Yin: "Xuewu calls me teacher, and also calls me sister-in-law. We are real relatives."
"Hehe—yes, then I'll call you Han Shu." Liu Yin smiled and said: "Let's be honest with the filling today, just steam it, it's more fragrant."
"Listen to you, I think it's fragrant no matter how I eat it." Han Shu bounced Li Ning and said: "If you are still picky when eating dumplings, what would that become, haha!"
Actually, Liu Yin and Han Shu had met a few times. Through Li Xuewu's introduction, they also knew each other's identities. It wasn't the first time calling her Old Aunt.
It's just that there were many people those few times, and everyone was polite to each other and didn't say a few words in total.
Today, Han Shu brought her son Dong Mengyuan to be a guest alone, and Liu Yin was here too. Hearing her son call her Han Laoshi, she became polite.
Speaking of which, Liu Yin's own eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son were university teachers, so she didn't find this profession strange or awe-inspiring.
It was just that Li Xuewu called back in the afternoon to instruct, and she asked one more question before knowing that this was still the teacher of her son's current advanced study school.
What did Li Xuewu know about kitchen matters? He just instructed to do it well on the phone, and what to eat was still up to his mother and Qin Jingru.
Qin Jingru knew a little about Han Shu. When Gu Ning gave birth, her mother from Jin Ling came, and Han Shu brought her child to be a guest. At that time, they ate dumplings, so this time they were still treating them to dumplings.
After all, nothing is more delicious than dumplings.
When choosing the filling, Liu Yin also dug out the last bit of sauerkraut from the refrigerator, chopped it all into filling, and the pork belly Li Xuewu brought back a few days ago was just right to mix into the filling.
"Dumpling! Dumplings are fragrant! Very fragrant, very fragrant!"
Li Shu saw the adults talking happily and didn't stay idle, squeezing to the front and shouting.
"You know again, right—"
Liu Yin pointed at her granddaughter's forehead with the white flour on her hand, smiling and teasing her: "Just wanted to eat pastry, now want to eat dumplings, are you a little greedy cat?"
"I, I'm not—"
Li Shu pointed her little finger at her younger brother held by her aunt and said: "Brother is a little greedy cat, brother said he wants to eat pastry, wants to eat dumplings."
"Brother said? Why didn't I hear it?" Liu Yin teased her: "Li Shu didn't say she wanted to eat, right? Then give brother dumplings later, Li Shu won't eat, right."
"I also eat, brother eats, I also eat—" Li Shu jumped twice, trying hard to climb onto the sofa, but her legs were short, so she could only jump.
Li Ning drooled as she looked at the young lady jumping on the ground, her big eyes curiously observing everything in the room.
He was in the drooling period, the corners of his mouth were always wet, and he had to be wiped lightly with a towel. The child's skin was delicate, and if it was a little heavy or the frequency was high, it would be red, swollen, and broken.
He had to endure for at least two months to stop the drooling. By then, he would be about to grow teeth, and his little tongue would also be shouting to talk.
Gu Ning changed her clothes and came down from upstairs, taking the child from Han Shu's hands.
"Is he heavy? I'm tired just holding him."
"It's okay, heavier than Mengyuan when he was little."
Han Shu smiled and patted Li Ning's butt, saying: "This fat boy, this little butt!"
"Ya—!"
Li Ning shouted loudly in his mother's arms, but kicked his little legs to stop her from patting.
Li Xuewu smiled and explained to Han Shu: "Touching anywhere is fine, just can't touch our butt and neck. If you touch it, he'll get anxious."
"He knows how to be afraid!"
Qin Jingru came out of the kitchen with a basin of filling, smiling and saying: "I said I was deliberately scaring him into falling, his little hands were hugging your neck tightly, not scared at all."
"The bigger he gets, the harder he is to coax. He doesn't sleep through the night, and he has to make a fuss in the middle of the night."
Li Xuewu went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and after coming back, he wanted to help wrap dumplings, but was driven out by his mother: "You don't need to help, there's only a little work, go to the living room and sit and talk."
"Then we won't be polite—"
Han Shu smiled and picked up Li Shu and went to the living room with Gu Ning, knowing Li Xuewu had something to say to her, and she couldn't go back too late, so she could only eat what was ready.
Dong Mengyuan had also reached the age of liking toys, and little sister Li Shu's toy basket was an eye-opener for him.
His own toys were packed in a wooden box, while the sister at his senior brother's house possessed four big baskets of toys, not counting the ones buried in the sandpit in the room.
Li Shu had a sharp mouth and loved to talk, but she wasn't stingy. Whether it was Dong Mengyuan coming or Fu Zhidong from Steel City, she didn't hold onto these toys.
Little brother liked to play, so she followed along, without saying snatching or not letting him play.
There was just one thing that wasn't good: she always wanted to teach little brothers how to play with toys. Her way of playing was purely destructive; there were so many toys she didn't feel bad.
Most of the toy cars Dong Mengyuan dug out were missing wheels or missing some parts.
Toys at this time were mostly iron, which could withstand falling and hitting. If it were the plastic kind of later generations, they would have been ravaged to pieces long ago.
The porcelain doll bought for her earliest, if Li Xue hadn't seen it was good and put it away early, it would definitely be broken into pieces and couldn't be found now.
As long as Li Xuewu went on a business trip, he would definitely think about buying toys for his daughter. Gu Yan bought them box by box every time he came back.
Plus the concern of Ji Weidong and Old Biaozi and others, Li Shu had many new toys that hadn't been unpacked yet; she really couldn't play with them all.
"I want! I want to get down—"
Li Shu saw little brother playing with toy cars, looked at her aunt and said: "I want to go down."
Han Shu hugged her and wouldn't let go, smiling and asking: "What do you call me? Call me and let me hear, if it sounds good, I'll let you down."
"I... Big Aunt!"
Li Shu covered Han Shu's face with her little hand and kissed her hard; she was really willing to act spoiled.
Han Shu was amused by her, put her in front of her son and instructed: "Coax sister to play, don't bully sister—"
Before Dong Mengyuan could nod and agree, Li Shu nodded hard and promised: "Mm-hmm, Big Aunt, I know, I won't bully him!"
"What does your unit think?"
After listening to Li Xuewu's exposition on the need for scientific and technological talent support for the introduction of technology and new equipment.
She also understood Red Star Factory's determination and goal to net scientific and technological talents.
Han Shu frowned slightly and reminded: "Engaging in talent enrichment and technological monopoly during this period, aren't you afraid of being too prominent?"
"The tree is already very big, and the wind has long been summoned. Now it's a last resort."
Li Xuewu drank a cup of hot tea and said: "Red Star Factory has already walked on a road of no return that must succeed. Turning back inevitably means collapse and death, so we can only bite the bullet and move forward."
He put down the teacup, picked up the teapot to refill hot tea for Han Shu and Gu Ning, and continued: "The higher-ups treat Red Star Factory as a vanguard, as an experimental product."
"Our factory itself also wants to walk a route that leads the era and masters the development context, so in terms of science and technology, we inevitably have to accumulate and enrich. There is no other way."
"Too radical. I don't oppose your high-speed development, but expanding like a snowball, be careful of exploding if you can't eat it."
Han Shu shook her head slightly and said: "Of course you think that current technical personnel and scholars are experiencing a kind of training and tempering, exchanging their loyalty for more superior living conditions."
"However, have you ever thought that this kind of loyalty is extreme and has era limitations? What about the future? Not considering it?"
"Then there must be time to consider it. But what we lack most is time."
Li Xuewu folded his right leg and sighed: "Red Star Factory's current development is like cooking oil on a hot fire. A slight mistake will lead to a big mistake."
"The factory leaders' consideration is still on the break-even point of production and sales."
He hammered his thigh and said: "Since last year, Red Star Factory has already cut off its own retreat. Haven't you noticed that our factory's reform is one stage faster than the general environment?"
"Bravely taking on heavy responsibilities, a pioneer of reform."
Han Shu didn't have much envy or admiration when she said this; there was more worry.
Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu both played important roles on Red Star Factory's development road.
Success is Red Star Factory, failure is Red Star Factory.
You shouldn't just see how much profit they can get after Red Star Factory becomes Red Star Steel Group; you should see what setbacks they will suffer when Red Star Factory's groupization fails.
Han Shu was considering advance and retreat from a comprehensive level, not with the momentum of having no life or death as Li Xuewu said; it was more comprehensive.
She thought for a while and said: "Have you considered splitting businesses to reduce risks and improve the anti-risk ability brought by policy changes?"
"Split? No, we are more inclined to walk integration and industrialization. This is a more stable development path."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Splitting can quickly weaken the risks brought by radicalism, but it's also cutting off one's own arm. If you cut off too much, there's even less hope for groupization."
"But the big factory form you are engaging in now counts as a threat, do you know?"
Han Shu reminded: "Unless you can continuously obtain high-quality, high-efficiency orders, otherwise maintaining these people and maintaining production plans is difficult. Where will you get so many raw materials?"
"It seems that the new era worker training system has been established, but it will take at least three years to achieve success. What do you plan to do in these three years?"
She shook her head slightly and said: "Do you know how many waiting-for-employment worker children and how many worker life problems that need to be solved can be produced in three years?"
"Regarding this point, we still have precautions. United Tertiary Industry is one aspect, and the construction engineering team is another."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "At the same time, we also believe that the organization definitely has a way to solve the increasingly growing waiting-for-employment problem."
"Are you serious?"
Han Shu looked him over and said: "Do you know the result of two batches of students in school not being able to be assigned and new students not being able to be recruited?"
"I know, of course I know."
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The purpose of our factory's expansion of technical personnel this time is also to alleviate the pressure on the organization and universities."
"Stop saying pretty words. If it's taking advantage of the fire, just say it's taking advantage of the fire. Why pull in sharing worries for the organization? I don't believe your factory's Li Huai De has this consciousness."
Han Shu drooped her eyelids and said: "You yourself know that Red Star Factory's development is cooking oil on a hot fire, so you should think about withdrawing the fire, instead of adding fuel to the fire and engaging in talent enrichment."
"Can't withdraw anymore, it's late. Now we can only walk to the dark on one road. Whoever withdraws dies."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "The solution to talent enrichment is to establish a separate scientific and technological research institute, independent operation, independent management."
He signaled outside the window and said: "If it really doesn't work, send them to the mountains in Miyun, but we must eat the technology and new equipment."
Li Xuewu emphasized: "This is an important foundation related to whether Red Star Factory can have a big leap-forward development in the next ten years."
"We don't want to make strict restrictions in terms of management, and we won't even interfere with them doing academic work. We all understand the principle of blocking is not as good as dredging."
"As for the problem of reducing enterprise development risks," Li Xuewu thought for a while and explained: "On one hand, it is to build an integrated industrial base in Steel City, make the factory small, and make the management big."
"This can reduce fixed asset investment, control human resource costs, reduce trial and error costs, etc."
Li Xuewu said again: "Heavy industry and light industry form industrialization, relying on the introduction of technology and equipment to update production processes."
"Not only can it improve production efficiency and quality, but it can also accelerate supply and marketing, providing a product base for our United Trade platform."
Li Xuewu finally said: "We have two insurances. One is that our factory's reform is much faster than the external situation, so we won't be caught off guard if there is a policy change."
"The second is that Red Star Factory possesses a relatively broad worker and mass foundation, and is still advancing in terms of infrastructure and industrial construction."
He looked at Han Shu and said: "Technology, production, sales, three-legged standing, we can achieve a virtuous cycle."
"Even if it's entering the game with one's body?"
Han Shu understood the meaning in his words and said: "You and Wenxue are both young, and there is still a very long road to walk in the future. Why be in such a hurry?"
She said with some incomprehension: "It's very obvious that Li Huai De doesn't have good intentions. Now it's a tailwind, what will you do if you encounter a headwind?"
"He wants to use you to take the thunder!"
"Mm, Teacher and I have considered this point, so we have been expanding our influence."
Li Xuewu deliberated and said: "The headwind has appeared several times. Li Huai De does have preparations in this regard, but as far as the current situation is concerned, I am more inclined to believe he doesn't dare to play the 'kill the dog when the rabbit is dead' game."
"You and Wenxue won't...?"
Han Shu frowned slightly and said: "Don't think you are god-like, calculating everything. Li Huai De's background is not simple."
She reminded Li Xuewu: "You take him to take the thunder, maybe that thunder will strike straight down."
"So Li Huai De must get fat. We are fattening him up, the fatter the better."
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Fat enough to withstand all the thunder."
Gu Ning coaxed the child to sleep, listening to their sword-and-shadow conversation, feeling her brain wasn't enough. What is this going to do?
Han Shu and her son left with Han Jiankun and his wife. The car first sent Han Shu and her son, then Han Jiankun drove home.
It was really a bit late. It was rare to gather together, so they talked a bit more.
Li Ning had long been sent back upstairs to sleep, and Li Shu couldn't hold on later, so she was taken upstairs by Liu Yin to wash and coax to sleep.
Dong Mengyuan, who left last, was also dizzy and dragging. Children gathered together and consumed electricity very quickly, and it was very easy to fall asleep.
When Li Xuewu closed the door and returned upstairs, he said a few words to his mother before entering the master bedroom. Gu Ning was reading in the study.
"It's very late, rest. You still have to serve that little ancestor in the middle of the night."
"Mm, finished reading."
Gu Ning responded, read for a while longer, and only came back when Li Xuewu came out after showering.
She first looked at the child in the crib before getting into bed.
"That talent recruitment plan you told Sister Han about, won't there be any danger?"
"What danger? Policy-wise?"
Li Xuewu lay back on the bed and sighed slightly: "No one can touch this, can't calculate it, can only guess based on experience and vision."
"How come I see you are full of confidence?" Gu Ning looked him over, turned off the bedside lamp on the side and asked: "Did you learn about any policy?"
"Where would I have that ability? Do you think your lover is such an amazing character?"
Li Xuewu teased her, then said seriously: "Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme, things will turn for the better after reaching the extreme. You should be able to feel it."
Turning off the bedside lamp on his side, through the moonlight shining in from the window, Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said: "Han Laoshi also said that there are too many people in universities, and new students can't go up."
"Furthermore, there are more and more unemployed youth in the city, and the development speed of factories and units and the positions they can provide are limited. How do you think this problem should be solved?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Once there are many idlers, chaos will inevitably arise. Haven't you heard the joke that three idle men gathered together will produce an idea king?"
Gu Ning rolled her eyes at him and said: "So? How should the problem be solved?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be doing security work at Red Star Factory."
Li Xuewu laughed lightly: "I only know that Red Star Factory's expansion of business, construction of new production workshops, implementation of three shifts, and training of new workers are in line with current policy needs."
"Han Laoshi's worries are actually considered from the perspective of scholars, or economics and humanities. We enterprises are different."
He looked at Gu Ning and explained: "We value actual benefits more. As long as it's useful, we launch it; if it's useless, we throw it away."
"What this or that, we aren't the city, do we still need to manage social problems?"
"Now our factory is continuously expanding, workshop construction can't keep up with the investment and creation of new projects. It's just a time of vitality."
Li Xuewu laughed: "No matter how many problems there are, they are crushed on the road by the wheels of the high-speed development train. What other problems are there?"
Gu Ning pursed her lips and said: "Calculating like this, aren't you tired?"
She raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu, saying: "Calculating policies, calculating manpower, calculating production, calculating sales, and also calculating the rivers and lakes in the unit. Doesn't your head hurt?"
"I calculate others, shouldn't others have a headache? Why would my head hurt?"
Li Xuewu laughed: "If one day I become a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, that's when I'll have a headache."
"Hey—! It's not that I'm chatting with you guys! Our men are about to change guns for cannons, this thing!"
Li Yuanchao, standing at the shop entrance, patted the bicycle saddle and said: "We won't ride this in the future!"
"Whoa—!"
Someone who was flattering immediately complimented: "Brother Li, we don't even care about this 28-inch bike anymore. What do you care about?"
Someone over there guessed: "Don't tell me you got your hands on that jeep your dad has?"
"Egg! It's nothing to borrow it for a temporary spin, but more than that is playing a trick on the small car class at the service office!"
Li Yuanchao raised his eyebrows: "But if you say for a long time, don't say I don't dare. In this capital, among the old soldier circle, who dares?"
"Do you dare? Do you dare? Or do you dare?"
He pointed his finger at whoever, and whoever shook their head. In their circle, Li Yuanchao was the most awesome. Even he didn't dare, who would dare to drive the family's car.
Besides, the family's car didn't belong to them; it was uniformly equipped by the courtyard service office. More than that was just an exclusive car.
It was the courtyard security office's sidecar that they could sometimes borrow for a spin after getting along well with the squad leader, and show off to the little brothers.
But if you talk about reality, driving a 212 jeep around the capital every day, at this time, there really wasn't one.
Why emphasize this time? Because later on, this 212 became popular, there were more cars on the road, and even the street power supply station had this kind of car, so it wasn't eye-catching for young people to drive it.
However, at this moment, especially when the little cubs had nothing to do and were wandering around, having a 28-inch bike was enough to be awesome.
But if Li Yuanchao wanted to stand out in the capital's old soldier circle, just having a 28-inch bike wasn't enough; he had to play new tricks.
"It can be considered letting our Old Li catch up with the fashion once, catching the tail of the era's development!"
Li Yuanchao said with a smile: "Do you know what I've been doing recently? This!"
He pointed to the small badge next to the badge on his chest and signaled: "Know the newly opened Dongfeng Sports Club? I'm a youth member there."
"We have really heard of this!"
Someone said: "I heard it's by invitation or something, very mysterious, don't know what it's for."
"What's it for? For learning!"
Li Yuanchao took out a thick book from the schoolbag in the bicycle basket to show everyone, explaining proudly: "I'm now a proper progressive youth!"
"Yo! Yuanchao, you're even engaging in philosophy! Hahaha—!"
Zhong Yuemin snatched the book from his hand and looked at it. Seeing the word philosophy, he started joking.
Li Yuanchao snatched the book from his hand, stiffened his neck and said: "Those who can't keep up with the new situation, can't see through the new pulse, can't see the new atmosphere, and don't learn will sooner or later become frogs at the bottom of the well—!"
He put the book back into the schoolbag and raised his eyebrows: "We don't just learn this. Law, literature, thought, fighting, artistic cultivation, we have to know a trick or two in everything!"
"Of course, I'm just starting to learn now. Wait until I practice literary and martial arts, then I'll show you guys!"
"But for now—!"
He stood at the entrance of the special operation shop outside the Wei Third Regiment courtyard and looked around, explaining: "Let you see how I change guns for cannons! Keep watching!"
Saying this, he handed the bike to his brother and walked into the shop alone.
It was just after opening in the morning, and the salesperson was cleaning the hygiene in the room and organizing the goods on the shelves. Seeing him come in, he greeted him.
Li Yuanchao bragged to his brothers outside, but here, he didn't dare to play tough. Behind this shop was the Wei Third Regiment.
He wasn't afraid of how awesome the head of the Wei Third Regiment was; he was afraid of folding here, and there would be no place to reason if he lost face.
"I want a Comet motorcycle, the kind of small motorcycle that just arrived."
He knew the rules. Without waiting for the salesperson to ask, he carefully took out a certificate from his wallet, handed it over along with his identity card, and held his face high.
Why?
It was convenient for the salesperson to verify that the photo on the identity card was consistent with him.
The salesperson was also efficient. Seeing he was prepared, he first verified his identity, then looked at the purchase certificate, and then asked: "Did you bring enough money?"
"That's inevitable!"
Seeing that the identity review passed, Li Yuanchao knew the Youth Club hadn't lied to him, and couldn't help but be excited in his heart.
He took out a large bundle of money from his pocket and placed it on the counter, very generously signaling to the salesperson: "You count it, it's all whole money."
The whole money Li Yuanchao mentioned was single ten-yuan notes. There were no hundred-yuan notes at this time.
While he was taking out money, the crowd outside looking into the room was lively.
"Whoa! What is Yuanchao doing!"
"Is this not living anymore?"
"He went to look at motorcycles—!"
Zhong Yuemin stepped on his bicycle, stretched his neck and looked into the room. He had been to this special operation shop countless times.
He hadn't been to the car showroom on the other side, including the Red Star Hongxing Lingyang and the fire-fighting Hongxing Lingyang, which were their dreams.
They had also seen the motorcycles on the other side, 500CC, 250CC, all big guys.
"Looks like Li Yuanchao took money to buy a motorcycle?"
Zheng Tong shook his head and pushed his glasses, saying: "Can't be, how can an individual buy a motorcycle!"
"Besides, even if you can buy it, how much family wealth do you have to smash into it to afford it!"
"Not necessarily, let's see how he says it."
Zhong Yuemin still looked inside and said: "This place is very special. Maybe there are cheap goods."
"Maybe—"
Yuan Jun pursed his lips and said: "Didn't you just hear him say, catching up with fashion, catching the tail."
"Damn! Don't tell me he just entered that Youth Club and got the quota to buy a car?"
Zheng Tong said in surprise: "Seems like someone mentioned it here last time, saying the welfare treatment of this Youth Club is capped."
"This place is indeed special. Sailor shirts, training pants, many people are digging for goods here."
Zhong Yuemin stood on the rear rack of the car, looking at the excitement inside and said: "I bought that set of equipment here. It can't be bought anywhere else."
"Although I know it's not proper equipment, it looks the same when worn, and it's even more comfortable, with better fabric. Who doesn't want to get a set."
Zheng Tong sighed: "I don't dare to go in easily. I have no money in my pocket. If I go in and get dazzled, I want everything, it's too annoying."
"Hey hey! Coming out! Coming out!"
They were just talking when they saw Li Yuanchao pushing a small motorcycle out of the shop.
"Damn! Yuanchao is awesome!"
"Awesome awesome, really awesome enough!"
"This time you are the first in the capital. You have to be convinced!"
Everyone complimented him in a jumble. Li Yuanchao was very satisfied, cupped his hands, and thanked the brothers who were supporting him.
He didn't care about the envy, jealousy, and hatred in the crowd, because this was the effect he wanted.
If you don't attract hatred, how can you prove you have strength, how can you prove you are awesome in the capital?
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, thank you for coming to support me, Li Yuanchao, tonight at the old place, my treat!"
"Alright! Yuanchao is generous!"
"That is, it must be said that he has this strength!"
"Otherwise, why would everyone admire him!"
Li Yuanchao bought a car and treated everyone to dinner; this was the sentence he wanted.
He bought the car just to make a name for himself. If no one publicized it for him, how could he make a name for himself?
Of course, he spoke very grandly here, but in fact, those who could attend his dinner in the evening were all face-people.
Those who felt they didn't have strength, who would dare to get close? At most, they would shout and cheer, flatter him, and please him.
If you eat his food, you have to do things for him. If you can't do it, you say spitting out the food won't work; he has to beat you out.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the motorcycle through the crowd, very curious.
Small, even shorter than a 28-inch bike, the wheel spokes weren't as wide, as big, or as thick as 250CC or 500CC.
Suddenly looking, I thought it was a bicycle, just without pedals.
You say it's not as tall as a bicycle, not as domineering as a 250CC motorcycle, but this little thing is more pleasing the more you look at it, more lovable.
"Today is Youth Day, the day our Youth Club was officially established." Li Yuanchao explained to everyone: "All members of this batch can apply for the purchase qualification of a motorcycle."
"We can be considered to have eaten welfare. The president of the Dongfeng Sports Club, which is our boss, is a factory leader of Red Star Factory."
He blew this awesome thing really solidly, holding the motorcycle handlebar, standing at the shop entrance and talking: "Outsiders can't buy it. It hasn't been mass-produced yet. There are only a few in the shop."
"Yuanchao, this thing isn't cheap, right?" Zhong Yuemin got closer, looking at the motorcycle under Li Yuanchao's crotch and said: "I just saw you take out a large bundle of money."
"This is nothing, I really picked up a bargain!" Li Yuanchao shook his head and said: "Do you know what the annual membership fee for our Youth Club is?"
Not waiting for everyone to guess, he stretched out two fingers and said fiercely: "Two hundred!"
"But inside..." He stopped suddenly when he got here, raised his eyebrows: "This can't be said, but what I can say is that two hundred yuan a year is absolutely worth it. I think it's worth it."
Regardless of the itching in the hearts of the people around, he only said half of his words and started talking about this car again.
"Just for this, I think it's worth it!"
He pointed his thumb behind his back and raised his eyebrows: "See, the normal retail price of this car in the shop is 499, can't take it down even with one yuan less. Hey, I can get it cheap!"
"Why?" Zheng Tong asked curiously: "Why can you get it cheap?"
"Hehe! Because I have this!"
He flicked the badge on his chest and said: "This is worth 49 yuan of face!"
"450 yuan? You mean you bought this motorcycle for 450 yuan?!"
Zhong Yuemin looked at this motorcycle in shock, and then looked at Li Yuanchao in disbelief. The others were no better than him, all looking at him with shock and curiosity.
Li Yuanchao was extremely satisfied with everyone's attitude, curled his lips and said: "Internal price, ordinary people absolutely can't enjoy it, and even if you pay the full price, you can't buy it now!"
He reminded everyone: "Didn't I just say it, it hasn't started mass production yet!"
"When will it be mass-produced?" Zhong Yuemin couldn't wait to ask: "Do you have inside information?"
"Of course! You don't look at which area I mix in."
He flicked the badge on his chest again and said: "The news I got is that it will be officially mass-produced in July. As for when the goods will be sufficient, it's hard to say."
Li Yuanchao shook the motorcycle under his crotch and raised his eyebrows: "You guys also saw it, beautiful and cheap, can be called a model. Who doesn't love it?"
"Oh, by the way, forgot to tell you!"
Li Yuanchao seemed to have remembered something, pulled Zhong Yuemin over and said in a low voice: "I asked about that Zhou Xiaobai you like. She used to work in the club."
"Of course I know she works there."
Zhong Yuemin looked at Li Yuanchao and said: "I just haven't seen her recently, so I'm asking where she went. I can't find her in the courtyard."
"Of course you can't find her! She's not even in the club! No!"
Li Yuanchao raised his neck and said: "Specifically, she's not even in the capital!"
"What? Went to another place?"
Zhong Yuemin frowned and said: "I said I couldn't find her recently. So it was..."
"What is it? Are you listening to me?"
Li Yuanchao looked him over and continued: "I found out that this Zhou Xiaobai is also a member of the Youth Club. We have activities and programs every weekend. Do you understand?"
"She comes back every week?"
Zhong Yuemin understood, his eyes staring at Li Yuanchao and asking: "What time, where, do you know? If you know, tell me, I owe you a favor!"
"Don't come with this set. Do I help you ask about this for your favor?"
Li Yuanchao looked him over and said: "She comes back on Saturday, leaves on Monday, went to Tianjin. She doesn't live at home, just at the International Hotel."
"International Hotel? I know!"
Zhong Yuemin's mouth was dry, his heart was blocked. Last time Zhou Xiaobai told him not to look for her anymore, but he wasn't reconciled and went several times.
But even if he guarded the door for a day, he wouldn't see the other side come out. At first, he could bump into Luo Yun, but that girl wouldn't say anything.
Later, he couldn't even see Luo Yun. He thought the two weren't there anymore and went to the courtyard to ask.
Good guy, after going around in circles, the person was still a club person, just went to Tianjin. He said he couldn't find anyone.
"Don't say I'm not generous. That place has many rules and is managed strictly. I can't bring you in. The rest can only depend on yourself."
Li Yuanchao really knew how to speak. He said: "However, brother, as long as I see her in the club, I will definitely notify you."
"No words, enough meaning!"
Zhong Yuemin nodded and said: "I'll treat you tonight, let's eat at Old Mo's."
"Don't! I have serious business here!"
Li Yuanchao looked at him and said: "Still that sentence, I'm not doing this for your favor. Lovers will eventually get married!"
After speaking, he patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder and said: "She will go to the club every weekend. You caught a good time. If it's not playing tennis, it's going to the shooting range to shoot targets. Remember her hobbies."
"I understand, I understand!"
Zhong Yuemin was a bit stunned. He was the kind of person who wouldn't stop until he reached his goal. At this moment, listening to Li Yuanchao informing him and giving him advice, he took the other side as a good person, as one of his own.
Li Yuanchao smiled, kicked the motorcycle to start, revved the engine, and said to Zhong Yuemin: "If you want to hold the beauty in your arms, I'll give you another trick to reach the goal in one step."
He raised his eyebrows and said: "You also have a little family wealth. Work hard to get one and give it to her. I don't believe Zhou Xiaobai can resist this!"
After speaking, he greeted everyone, instructed them to help bring his car back, stepped on the motorcycle and went first, rushing out.
Looking at Li Yuanchao, who was awesome and brought a large group of people away, Zhong Yuemin stood there stunned.
It's impossible to say he wasn't envious. They were all young people, all mixing on the street, how could he ride a motorcycle!
On weekdays, he boasted that he wasn't much lower than the other side, and even if they met, he didn't need to flatter the other side, but now the gap was suddenly opened.
Their cars used pedals, others' cars only needed one kick. Those drinking oil are just more awesome than those eating steamed buns!
"This era is changing too fast!"
Actually, the era didn't change; it was someone who kicked the era's wheel with a super-forward vision, making the era walk slightly off track.
Selling small motorcycles before mass production wasn't to give these people welfare to show off, but an advertising effect of rarity.
Where is there a place to advertise properly in this year? Word of mouth is still the old tradition.
Li Xuewu specially approved a portion of Comet trial production for targeted market release, just to advertise.
It's useless to throw this car to office workers. They won't buy it, even if it's 49 cheaper.
Chasing fashion, daring to spend money, still has to count these little cubs. They have accumulated quite a bit since last year to now.
Meeting such an awesome mount, isn't it just emptying the family wealth to buy it and stand out?
They must not be idle after buying the car. If this car is idle for a minute, it's their loss. They only have two months to show off.
This car must be ridden around the capital, wishing everyone knew they bought a motorcycle, that they are very awesome.
They have leisure and money. Red Star Factory at most takes out 49 yuan to let these people help advertise in the whole city for two months. Is it suitable or not?
Calculating hearts, no matter how ghostly these young people are, they are not as good as the old ones who have experienced wind and rain.
Having money to play with motorcycles, there is no upper limit to this thing. Red Star Factory launches new products every year. Whoever can't keep up will lose face.
Li Xuewu eats one fish in several ways, not only benefiting Red Star Factory, but also winning over the Youth Club, and also picking the roots of the little cubs.
Giving the ruffians a way out in front, winning the hearts of those people, and now using the Youth Club to win the hearts of the old soldiers, he has unknowingly grasped the pulse of the era's young people.
The youth generation's red flag bearer is truly worthy of the name. ===== CHAPTER 1095 =====
