Chapter 1126: Not Worth Mentioning Li Feiji

"Manager Zhang, what happened to your mouth?"

The front desk clerk, Xiao Wang, saw the leader return after sending off the big leader, and noticing his lips were slightly red and swollen, she asked with concern.

Zhang Songying walked to the front desk, checked himself in the mirror, and said with a laugh, "It's nothing, got bitten by a dog."

"Giggle—you really know how to joke."

Xiao Wang covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "I've never heard of anyone getting their mouth bitten by a dog."

Xiao Liu, who was on duty with her, kicked her under the bar. This silly child, she says whatever comes to mind!

"The French business delegation is holding a banquet here tonight, pay attention to the reception etiquette—"

Zhang Songying didn't mind Xiao Wang's words; he gave the instruction and headed to his office.

Only after the leader had left did Xiao Liu whisper a few words to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang was unconvinced and muttered, "I haven't eaten pork, but haven't I seen a pig run?"

"That was clearly from being gnawed on..."

"Shh—!"

Xiao Liu was so angry she wanted to pinch her, whispering a reminder: "With the way you talk, you'll be transferred to logistics sooner or later!"

"What do you mean 'pork' and 'pig run', who are you calling a pig—"

"It just was..."

Xiao Wang glanced toward the lobby corridor, pursed her lips, and muttered, "She was the one who said she got bitten by a dog."

"She said it was a joke; you're just being rude."

Xiao Liu glared at her and said, "From now on, only talk about work when you're on duty, and talk less about other things."

"Manager Zhang is kind-hearted. When Manager Han comes, if you're still this indiscreet, you'll have a hard time."

"How is Manager Han... I got it."

Xiao Wang twitched her lips, just about to say something, but held it back.

When this International Hotel was first founded, there were two leaders transferred from the Red Star Factory.

One is the current Executive Deputy General Manager, Zhang Songying, and the other is the General Manager, Han Yating.

There is also a Deputy General Manager currently holding a concurrent post, Zhou Gancheng from the Foreign Affairs Department.

Deputy General Manager Zhou is only responsible for external business, so he is rarely seen.

General Manager Han is giving birth and is currently on maternity leave.

She gave birth on May 5th, with a forty-day maternity leave. Today is June 3rd, so she'll be back to work soon.

Speaking of Manager Han, most of the staff have seen her, although she only worked for a while during her pregnancy.

But everyone knows she was transferred from the position of Chief of the Security Section.

What kind of place is the Security Section? Could anyone sit in that position without some means?

Furthermore, many people say that Manager Han was promoted by Deputy Director Li.

With connections, ability, and means, who wouldn't be afraid?

"Now that there are three managers, are more coming?"

Because Xiao Wang is good-looking, she was assigned to work at the front desk.

However, the personnel cadre didn't inquire clearly about this child's mouth; being good-looking doesn't necessarily mean she's suitable for the front desk.

"What kind of place do you think this is? More coming?"

Xiao Liu is also good-looking, came earlier, and is much better at the job than Xiao Wang.

At least she knows what should be said and what shouldn't.

"When the Six Nations Hotel was just renamed the International Hotel and officially opened, it was only designated as a section-level unit."

She glanced at Xiao Wang and asked, "Do you know what that means?"

"Unless it's promoted to deputy department-level, we can have at most two deputy positions."

"Isn't it said that it's going to be promoted—"

Xiao Wang blinked and said, "The factory has been promoted, won't we also rise with the tide?"

"Rise with the tide...?"

Xiao Liu was speechless. After a long silence, she sighed and said, "Wang Lu, sometimes you shouldn't use idioms randomly—"

"Who is the chicken, who is the dog, and who is rising to heaven?"

She turned her head and said earnestly, "Talk to your uncle, it's better to apply for a transfer to logistics."

"I won't—"

Xiao Wang pouted stubbornly and said, "What's wrong with the idiom? I'm a proper middle school graduate."

"This has nothing to do with what grade you graduated from," Xiao Liu said, laughing despite herself. "You're going to cause trouble here sooner or later."

"It doesn't matter, you're my mentor, I'll just learn more from you."

Xiao Wang held her head high and said, "I really like this position, I can meet everything and know everything."

She scanned the lobby and muttered, "I even saw Deputy Director Li that night."

"Wang Lu, Sister Wang, let's discuss something."

Hearing this girl getting more and more outrageous, Xiao Liu looked at her seriously and said, "I'm your mentor, but in reality, we are colleagues; there is no master-disciple relationship."

"So, don't ever use the term 'mentor' again. I don't ask for your gratitude or repayment in the future, I just hope we interact as ordinary colleagues from now on..."

"How can that be—"

Xiao Wang said somewhat obsessively, "My uncle said that in the workplace, you have to have a good relationship with leaders and colleagues, otherwise how can you form cliques..."

"Hiss—Wang Lu—!"

Xiao Liu grabbed her hand, opened her mouth, and asked, "Is what your uncle said about 'uniting and advancing together'?"

"Uh... something like that, something like that."

Wang Lu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Forming cliques does sound a bit unpleasant, huh."

"Wang Lu—your uncle hasn't had it easy, right."

Xiao Liu said with a bitter smile, "After wasting so many years in the Technical Department, he's only just been promoted to Chief Engineer..."

"Really—?!"

After receiving the news, Xia Zhongquan almost jumped three feet high and flipped the table in front of him.

"Is it really a CNC machining center?"

He gripped the phone tightly, pressing it hard against his ear, afraid he might have misheard because he was so loud.

"Good! Very good! I know!"

Bang—

After hanging up the phone, he trotted out of the office and ordered the Office Director who had run out upon hearing the noise: "Gather the engineers related to electromechanical engineering and metal machining, I'm holding a meeting, hurry!"

"Come back—!"

As if remembering something, just as the Office Director had run two steps away, he shouted again.

Without waiting for the Office Director to return, he chased after him and arranged, "Gather the engineers related to aerospace engineering as well."

After speaking, he pushed the Office Director to go arrange it quickly.

If his legs could keep up with the speed of the phone, he would have wanted to run and notify them himself.

Xia Zhongquan now truly felt like the ground couldn't hold him; he wanted to run after walking a few steps.

Time waits for no one, opportunity must not be missed, and once lost, it won't return.

The call was from Deputy Director Li's secretary, Peng Xiaoli, notifying him to prepare for a project research meeting.

On the phone, Peng Xiaoli didn't explain very clearly, only telling him the name of the material project he had in hand.

This was enough to make Xia Zhongquan excited. Others might not be clear about this, but he had heard Li Xuewu mention it.

As early as when Li Xuewu returned from Steel City, he had sought him out to understand the situation of CNC lathes and machining centers.

If it weren't for the trip to Yangcheng, I'm afraid if Li Xuewu had asked him, he wouldn't have been able to explain it clearly.

The domestic side knows very little about advanced foreign technology, especially with the technological blockade of the past two years.

That time at the guesthouse in Yangcheng, Li Xuewu talked about the industrial exhibition being held in Japan and specifically mentioned CNC lathes.

Several people chatted about the comparison between CNC lathes and ordinary lathes.

At that time, Li Xuewu told him that the future of the machining industry would definitely be dominated by CNC lathes.

Therefore, he required the Red Star Factory's technical research department to be prepared in this regard.

At the trade fair, Xia Zhongquan paid special attention to this technology and also learned about it from foreign technical engineers.

After returning, he checked some materials, but unfortunately, the domestic materials were not very complete.

It wasn't until the foreign trade project was officially launched, during the period of guiding equipment installation in Steel City and Yingcheng, that he contacted Italian and Japanese engineers and gained a detailed understanding of this technology.

High precision, wide adaptability, especially suitable for precision parts in aerospace, aviation, automotive, mold, and other fields.

Let's put it this way, if there were a CNC machining center, the Red Star Factory's automotive industry could directly rise to a higher level.

Parts processed by ordinary lathes cannot compare to the precision of those processed by CNC lathes.

You could say there are master craftsmen who can achieve precision that CNC lathes cannot.

But, how many master craftsmen can there be?

The Red Star Factory wants to engage in industrial production, not build rockets where one is enough; this is for batch production.

The more he understood this thing, the more he felt happy, and the more he felt powerless.

Li Xuewu asking him to prepare was because he wanted to arrange this advanced technology for the Red Star Factory as well.

However, how could that be possible?

This kind of technology is like a national treasure abroad, and it's not easily exported.

Domestic machining technology is still mainly reliant on ordinary lathes; they wouldn't even dare to think about CNC lathes.

But now the dream has suddenly turned into reality; Li Xuewu actually had his secretary send back a set of materials for a CNC machining center, asking him to determine its feasibility.

What does this mean?

When Li Xuewu speaks, you just need to cover your ears; don't believe a single punctuation mark.

However, when Li Xuewu does things, you can completely rest assured and follow him.

He would never make such a big fuss about something that wasn't certain.

Not asking for too much, even if they could just get one set of such equipment, Xia Zhongquan would have the confidence to master the technology.

The professors from Huaqing and other universities who came for "labor" were almost bored to death.

The projects in the research institute couldn't satisfy their scientific research requirements at all, because this is the Red Star Factory's research institute.

Just like the Physical Engineering Research Institute, someone applied for nuclear technology research; where would Li Xuewu get research materials for them?

Recently, there have been more and more professor-level researchers in the research institute. Since the Great Learning activity began, many people have left their teaching and research posts.

Li Huai De and Gu Weijie have never relaxed their collection and assistance of scientific and technological forces.

These people are arranged to come to the Red Star Factory for labor; they might not be useful for a while, but they will be sooner or later.

Even if they come with their families, how much rice and oil can they eat in a year?

But as long as one technology or one project uses them, the value input of everyone will be recouped.

A person like Li Huai De doesn't have absolute ideological concepts; he can be said to be an opportunist.

The automotive maintenance project Li Xuewu started showed him sufficient benefits and also made him feel the power of science and technology.

Therefore, during the transformation of the Red Star Factory, engineering and technical personnel were not affected at all.

Even when Li Xuewu proposed to widely recruit scientific and technological research personnel and create a research institute, even when funds were so tight, Old Li gritted his teeth and took out money to support it.

Therefore, it is also time for the research institute to blossom and bear fruit, and enjoy a bumper harvest.

In the process of foreign trade, the Red Star Factory is not lacking in technology and scientific research vision at all, and can provide scientific and reasonable solutions to the cooperation proposed by foreign businessmen.

This gave sufficient support and confidence in commercial negotiations, allowing Li Xuewu to dare to slam the table and challenge the other party.

Others teaching you how to do it, and you being able to do it as soon as you get it, are two completely different things.

Without technological self-confidence, how can there be self-confidence in negotiations?

"Negotiated successfully?"

As soon as Li Xuewu returned to the Red Star Factory, he didn't even go to the Security Building, but came directly to the third floor of the main office building.

Li Huai De was reading documents. Seeing him enter the room, he raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud: "Hahaha—"

Li Haiyang stood by the tea cabinet making tea for Li Xuewu, feeling emotional in his heart; this tacit understanding is unique to only one person in the whole factory.

Li Xuewu didn't say a word upon entering the room, but Li Huai De already knew the result.

"A light helicopter production line, a procurement contract for a CNC machining center."

Li Xuewu sat opposite Li Huai De, not arrogant, nor proud, nodding very calmly, saying: "Fortunately, I didn't fail the mission, both were taken down."

"Phew—"

Li Huai De let out a long breath and clenched his fingers. At this moment, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette.

"It's really not easy, really not easy. Whichever one is taken down, they are all heavy weapons for our factory."

He looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "What are you planning to exchange the helicopter production line for? Who are you exchanging it with?"

"Leader, I'm afraid it can't be exchanged."

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huai De's stunned expression and explained seriously: "The Japanese businessmen are also very cautious, insisting that the helicopter production line doesn't cost money, but the transaction must be completed in the form of compensation trade."

"The CNC machining center is the same, it must be controlled within foreign trade production."

"What does this mean?"

Li Huai De frowned and asked: "How it's used has to be listened to by them? The negotiated plan even has a tail?"

"You can't have your cake and eat it too; the consequence of having both is that both the fish and the bear's paw have thorns."

Li Xuewu explained: "This negotiation itself was pressing the Japanese businessmen to talk, betting that they were anxious to recall the person involved this time, Momotani Eriko."

"In terms of grasping the scale, I have a clear feeling that the other party's bottom line should be about there."

"But—"

Li Huai De frowned and stood up, pacing twice before asking: "What to do after the production line is pulled back?"

He walked to the side of the desk, supported himself on the pile of documents, and looked at Li Xuewu, asking: "We produce it ourselves?"

"I'm afraid that's the only way—"

Li Xuewu nodded helplessly and said: "The Japanese businessmen want to act as agents for the overseas distribution rights of this helicopter."

"The purpose is to lock this negotiation firmly within the scope of commercial cooperation."

He looked at Li Huai De, shook his head slightly, and said: "I have no way to press down any further, afraid that if I press too hard, it will collapse."

"This helicopter production line is still equipment from more than ten years ago, it was modified later, and it belongs to the product of replacement."

"Still old?"

Li Huai De felt even more of a headache, put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around, and asked: "Can production be guaranteed?"

"The other party said yes, and they will help us upgrade the product to the latest model production capacity."

Li Xuewu moved his chair and looked at Li Huai De, explaining: "It's just a production line, there's no way to say whether it's new or old."

"A production line is also a manifestation of technology, and with our factory's technical reserves, it's completely impossible to bring it out."

He spread his hands and said: "Even for Project 701, I haven't heard of production being realized."

"But—are we going to build airplanes?"

Li Huai De was truly a bit confused. A steel rolling enterprise, engaging in automotive production already made the brother units in the system drop their eyeballs; now if they engage in airplane production...

Then people wouldn't say that Li Huai De only knows how to brag!

Building cars and building airplanes are two completely different things. In Li Huai De's plan, this airplane production line was completely Li Xuewu's alternative plan; even if it were brought back, it would have to be exchanged with other factories of the Ministry of Industry.

Why would you want an airplane production line? Isn't it better to have a factory?

Now Old Li truly has a big head. He dares to brag about building cars; after all, many factories have tried this thing.

If the Red Star Factory really gets the car production line up and running, his status in the world will indeed be awesome.

But now he has to report to the superiors that the Red Star Factory is going to build airplanes; you tell me how the leaders above will look at him.

Don't call yourself Li Huai De anymore, call yourself Li Airplane.

The ground can't even hold you, you still want to go to heaven!

"Can it really be built?"

Li Huai De didn't have much confidence, so he looked at Li Xuewu, and the tone of his question was also hollow.

Li Xuewu took a photo out of his bag, placed it on the pile of documents, and pointed it out to him.

"Light helicopter, can seat four people, sedan car body structure, overall relatively simple."

He explained to Li Huai De: "All parts can be produced domestically, the engine can follow the steps of Project 701, find Factory 331 for procurement."

Factory 331 is the Zhuzhou Engine Factory, founded in 1951, one of the first six major aviation enterprises established.

"Hmm, Liming Factory is also fine, Comrade Kaiyuan told me."

As Li Xuewu explained the situation and technical specifications of this type of aircraft clearly, Li Huai De gradually accepted the fact that he was about to be called Li Airplane.

He had already started considering the production of this aircraft.

"Can it only be exported? Can't it be sold domestically?"

Li Huai De still considered things very comprehensively. He took the photo, looked at it, and asked: "Can it be supplied to the military?"

"Training, postal, police, patrol, agriculture, medical, rescue, etc."

Li Xuewu introduced: "When I was in the south in '62, I heard that this thing had been captured."

"It is the earliest commercial spacecraft, it started production in the 1940s, and the Americans used it during the Korean War, mainly for communication, reconnaissance, and rescue."

"When I decided to ask them for aircraft, I considered that they could only give this kind."

Li Xuewu took a sip of hot tea and said: "No way, advanced technology cannot be given to us."

"Is this thing easy to sell? Is it safe?"

Li Huai De took the photo and looked at it, took the time to glance at Li Xuewu, and asked: "It won't be produced and then not sellable, right?"

"Although it's a light helicopter, it's very suitable for our factory's production because its technical requirements are not that high."

Li Xuewu explained: "The foreign commercial selling price is 50,000 US dollars each, equivalent to about 160,000 of ours."

"So..."

Li Huai De just wanted to say it's so expensive, but then he thought again, this is an airplane, if an airplane isn't expensive, what is?

If it really is 160,000 yuan each, this is very cheap, although it is a helicopter.

"Since the Japanese businessmen want all the overseas distribution rights, it shows that this type of aircraft has a market."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "What I can strive for is that we have complete production permission domestically."

"That is to say, overseas distribution rights, as long as the other party guarantees the best sales plan, they must be supplied to them."

"50,000 US dollars each, how much can we earn?"

Li Huai De scratched his chin, put down the photo in his hand, and asked: "Can we earn 10,000 US dollars?"

"Hehe, the specifics still depend on the production formula calculation, but—"

Li Xuewu looked at him confidently and said: "At the very least, not lower than 10,000 US dollars."

"Hahaha—"

Li Huai De laughed, hammered the pile of documents, looked at Li Xuewu, and said: "Then let's do it, the Red Star Factory is going to build airplanes!"

"Airplanes are not heavy weapons, the CNC machining center is."

Li Xuewu reminded him: "With this kind of production equipment, as an industrial mother machine, it can completely improve the industrial level and catch up to the world's advanced level."

"My suggestion is, buy as much as you can, use overseas funds, take this opportunity, and make a big catch."

"Hmm—no problem, do as you say."

Li Huai De nodded and said: "I'm assured when you do things."

He walked back to his seat, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked: "Where is the most intuitive value of this kind of equipment reflected?"

This question is so high-level; it means how to make money.

"CNC lathes, we beg others to buy them and can't buy them, but—"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huai De and said: "As long as we have this kind of equipment, combined with the technical reserves and production capacity of the Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory, I believe we will soon have a CNC lathe factory."

"Furthermore, whether it's the technical difficulties of automotive engine production or the production difficulties of weapons and equipment, they will all be solved."

He leaned forward and whispered to Li Huai De: "The fear is that we won't be able to keep these machines, so we have to..."

"Understand, I understand, rest assured—"

Li Huai De nodded. He understood Li Xuewu's meaning too well; it was just to tell him to brag a little less.

He glanced at Li Xuewu and nodded very casually; this actually didn't need to be reminded.

What's so good about bragging about a CNC machining center? How many people know about this thing if you brag about it?

If you want to brag, you have to brag about the helicopter; at a glance, Li Xuewu has no experience in bragging.

"When can it be taken down?"

Li Huai De pushed the photo to Li Xuewu and emphasized: "I mean the airplane production line."

"Negotiations need to be stable, but the plan will be executed very quickly."

Li Xuewu reported: "My reply to the other party is that we need our factory's technical personnel to do a feasibility analysis."

"And as I guess, the other party must want to complete this 'transaction' as soon as possible, to avoid complications."

He whispered and explained: "Sanhe Stock Company is also taking a huge risk to complete this transaction..."

"Hmm, hmm, I understand, you handle this matter well."

Li Huai De understood; he only understood the significance and purpose of this transaction. As for the technology...

Li Xuewu needs technical personnel to investigate and support, and you still expect him to understand airplane building and CNC machining?

Being a leader isn't being a technical engineer; why understand so much?

After talking with Li Xuewu and sending him away, Li Huai De was about to handle his most proficient and most skilled work.

He waved his hand, signaling Li Haiyang to close the door, and then picked up the phone.

"Ahem—get me Director Du of the First Ministry of Machine Building."

"Haha—Director Du, it's me, Li Huai De!"

He stood in front of the desk, took the phone, and said with a smile: "Leader, hello, I'm here to report to you on the important work of our factory recently—"

"It's like this, our factory strictly implements the work spirit of self-reliance and arduous struggle... the instructions on grasping ideology and production... so we are preparing to build a helicopter production factory."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, it's a helicopter, not a tractor."

"No—no—, I didn't drink alcohol, nor am I sick."

"Hahaha—not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, it's just a light helicopter, the selling price outside is only 50,000 US dollars."

You absolutely have to believe in Li Huai De's strength and ability to brag.

Li Xuewu left his office, and the phone hadn't stopped ringing.

As long as it was a leader who cared about him and the development of the Red Star Factory, he reported to them all.

He didn't mention a word about the CNC machining center.

Old Li's principle of bragging is that you can brag about how good your child is, but don't show off the child's mother.

Everyone knows your child's mother is good, wouldn't that mean someone would pry this good mother away?

After Xia Zhongquan produced two feasibility reports, Li Xuewu appeared at the International Hotel again.

This time he couldn't pretend to be ignorant, but he didn't show excessive satisfaction.

It can only be said that the goal of both sides insisting on mutual benefit and win-win results is firm.

He brought Li Huai De's seal and, on behalf of the Red Star Factory, signed a cooperation plan with Nakamura Shuji, the person in charge of Sanhe Stock Company.

This plan is not a new plan framework, but a supplementary contract under the cooperation plan for the electronics industry.

Sanhe Stock Company can sell electronics and electrical production lines, but cannot blatantly sell airplane production lines, and even less can it sell advanced industrial mother machines.

However, as a cooperation in the electronics industry, based on production needs, is there any problem with supplementing the procurement of machining production equipment and transportation equipment for the domestic side?

Yes, the supplementary contract filing is for machining production equipment and transportation equipment.

As long as you don't look at the specific content of the contract, it is completely normal commercial cooperation.

Look, we are already cooperating to produce electronics and electrical appliances, providing a few CNC machining centers is very normal, right?

Furthermore, the Red Star Factory has a need for transporting electronic and electrical components, so it's very normal for us to help provide a helicopter production line, right?

As for what the Red Star Factory uses the production equipment and transportation equipment for, we don't care; this is not within our scope of responsibility.

Sanhe Stock Company is only responsible for the sales of the Red Star Factory's industrial products; it bears no other responsibilities.

This kind of cowardly yet arrogant behavior of burying one's head in the sand made Li Xuewu clearly understand the mentality of the little devils.

As long as cooperation is needed, they would even dare to sell their father's ashes.

The cooperation agreement was signed on Tuesday afternoon; Nakamura Shuji's side had been preparing all along.

Therefore, after the agreement was signed, the Foreign Affairs Office gave a specific plan for Momotani Eriko's departure.

This doesn't need to be kept secret; Li Xuewu must be told, otherwise he wouldn't have time to arrange it.

Li Xuewu only waited at the International Hotel for half an hour before Nakamura Shuji told him it was the Wednesday morning flight.

It takes more than an hour to walk from the International Hotel to the airport, and it's still a breakfast flight.

Because Nakamura Shuji was straightforward, Li Xuewu wasn't stingy either.

He arranged two cars from the factory guard team to carry out security work.

Of course, it couldn't be a duty vehicle; if that thing were driven out of the factory area, it would be watched.

It's not that petty thieves are watching, it's that...

At this time, the situation outside is still relatively tense; Li Xuewu wouldn't dare to drive an armed duty vehicle mounted with a light machine gun onto the street.

Just two Red Star Hongxing Lingyang jeeps, combined with his command vehicle, were completely enough to handle this security work.

Of course, you see three jeeps, at most they can seat twelve or thirteen people.

However, you wouldn't dare say what equipment these three cars are carrying.

Li Xuewu is a person who cherishes his life; he knows Momotani Eriko caused trouble and poked a hornet's nest, but he doesn't know how big it is.

But since someone committed a crime on the street to take her life, it shows that the intelligence she holds is very important.

To what extent is it important?

Even if the Investigation Department has already obtained all the intelligence from Momotani Eriko's mouth, you see Nakamura Shuji still took out so many things to exchange for her and preserve her life.

This is enough to show that the things in her mouth are important even if they are leaked.

Of course, since the Investigation Department handed the person over to the Red Star Factory to handle, it shows that this intelligence is not for internal use.

Therefore, Li Xuewu was also bold in his actions, biting off two big pieces of fat meat from Sanhe Stock Company's hands.

That night, Li Xuewu rested at the International Hotel.

Not only him, but all personnel participating in the operation stayed at the best guesthouse the Red Star Factory had in the city.

The captain of the guard team is He Yuan, who was one of the three helpers who followed Li Xuewu to save Ran Qiuye from the water tower back then.

Because Li Xuewu has a lot of work, Yu Decai is mostly responsible for the work of the Security Department.

He Yuan also rarely gets to contact Li Xuewu; this time, executing a mission with his old leader again, he was naturally very happy.

But he wanted to find Li Xuewu to reminisce about the past, but Zhang Songying wouldn't agree.

Having finally caught him once, how could he let Li Xuewu waste his time and energy on chatting with him?

In the evening, Nakamura Shuji hosted a banquet and invited Li Xuewu to dinner at the Chinese restaurant.

It was very simple, he didn't bring all his subordinates, only brought Mikami Yua.

Is this because he's afraid Li Xuewu has a choice phobia, so he only brings one person each time?

Where is this hospitality? This is a beauty pageant.

If he could, Li Xuewu would really like to say change a batch.

For the smooth landing of the two cooperation projects of helicopter and CNC machining center, Li Xuewu gave Nakamura Shuji a lot of face.

Not only did he stay at the International Hotel, he made enough of a gesture of confidentiality, and at the same time, they talked happily at the dinner table.

Of course, security work still had to be done. Zhou Xiaobai wasn't home, so he temporarily grabbed Zhang Songying to accompany him to the banquet.

Therefore, at the dinner table, Mikami Yua was discharging electricity at him, and Zhang Songying just treated it as if she was charging Li Xuewu.

After the banquet ended, Mikami Yua very reservedly didn't express any excessive meaning to Li Xuewu.

She just made an appointment to have breakfast together tomorrow morning.

Of course, it was to have breakfast together after the mission was completed. Li Xuewu's plan was to set off at 3:30 in the morning, and have breakfast right after returning.

One meal, Li Xuewu's battery had long been fully charged by Mikami Yua, so it was time for the discharging process.

Knowing Li Xuewu had to get up early tomorrow, then tonight, it couldn't be delayed any further.

Early to bed and early to rise, why waste words with He Yuan?

The front desk had long changed shifts, but Wang Lu, who lived in the dormitory here, saw Manager Zhang accompanying Deputy Director Li into the elevator.

What for?

Didn't learn a lesson from being bitten by a dog in the morning, and now taking the initiative to send herself to be bitten?

Why else would you say this child is young and ignorant? Could it only be Zhang Songying being bitten?

Couldn't it be Zhang Songying taking the initiative to bite back?

Calm and tranquil, without a ripple.

At 3:30 in the morning, the factory guard team got into the cars first, two Toyota Crowns brought by Nakamura Shuji.

Yes, at this time there were Toyota Crown sedans domestically, the second generation Crown.

In 1964, at the 16th Yangcheng Trade Fair (Yangcheng Import and Export Commodities Fair), a mysterious visitor ordered 10 Crown sedans at once.

Don't ask who it was, even if you asked, I wouldn't dare say; you must know who it is.

The second-generation Crown sedan was the first high-end model shown by Toyota Motor in the mainland.

Li Xuewu was also seeing it for the first time; using the light from the doorway, he also sized it up a few times.

Nakamura Shuji introduced it to him with a smile, but didn't show too much interest in cooperation.

He knew the Red Star Factory was engaging in automotive production, but Japan didn't have an import market for this kind of luxury sedan.

He could introduce some Hongxing Lingyang cars from the Red Star Factory to use as engineering vehicles, but he would absolutely not cooperate with the Red Star Factory to produce sedans.

Especially luxury sedans; Toyota was trying every possible way to export them, he would be crazy to buy them back.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to pulling coal from Pingdingshan and selling it to Datong?

Li Xuewu observing this sedan was just out of novelty, looking at the design and style.

The Red Star Factory wants to produce sedans, but that's the kind of cheap sedan.

This kind of luxury sedan can only be thought about after future development is good.

The mainland also doesn't have a market for luxury sedans; below the big Red Flag, everything is garbage.

For cadres like Li Huai De, in their eyes, Mercedes-Benz is nothing, the big Red Flag is the goal of life.

Of course, Li Huai De is about to achieve this goal.

As long as the Red Star Factory completes the upgrade work, he can change cars.

Momotani Eriko was dressed very discreetly, even wearing sunglasses late at night.

If you ask Li Xuewu, it's purely taking off your pants to fart, an unnecessary move.

Originally Li Xuewu told Nakamura Shuji, don't bother with these things, just use his car to send the person to the airport.

But Nakamura Shuji had no bottom in his heart, so he could only have five cars go together.

With more cars, the target was also obvious; the Red Star Factory's security escort, the Toyota car in the middle, even a fool would know who was in the car.

However, he didn't say much. After watching Momotani Eriko get into the car, he yawned and was about to walk toward the command vehicle.

Nakamura Shuji took the initiative to invite him to get into the car where Momotani Eriko was.

This is because he's afraid that if something happens, Li Xuewu will run away first; how chaotic must it be on the little devil's side to make this old guy have no bottom?

Here, Li Xuewu dares to say that as long as his car drives out, no one dares to attack him.

If you want to die, you have to choose a good piece of land; are you crazy, bumping into Li Xuewu, is it good to bump into the muzzle of a gun?

Li Xuewu was too lazy to entangle, he invited him, so he took the initiative to sit beside Momotani Eriko.

This actually moved Momotani, who was about to set off to return to her country with her future life and death uncertain, so much that she cried and said "Arigato" and "Doudouyimasu".

Li Xuewu wanted to say, anywhere is fine, just don't bother your aunt, let her live a few more days.

Along the way, he just leaned on the back seat and slept; Momotani Eriko just cried, and Nakamura Shuji in the passenger seat comforted her from time to time.

Until the person was sent onto the plane, Li Xuewu didn't get out of the car.

He was certain that since the Red Star Factory's car drove out, absolutely no one would dare to attack them.

Even if it was one car, even if he used the command vehicle to send Momotani to the airport, even if there were only the driver and Momotani in the car.

If you don't have this bit of confidence, don't mix in Beijing.

"Mikami, you made an appointment to have dinner with Li-san, right?"

Returning to the city, Nakamura Shuji took the initiative to retreat, leaving Mikami Yua to Li Xuewu.

"Then I won't disturb you, I still have work to complete."

"Yes, thank you, President, please walk slowly."

Mikami Yua stood by the Toyota car and bowed to send off her boss, then turned to look at Li Xuewu in the car.

Li Xuewu smiled, waved his hand, and signaled her to get in the car.

Still that Toyota Crown, Nakamura Shuji used one, and this one was left for Mikami Yua.

"Where do you like to have breakfast? I'll treat you."

"Thank you, I heard from the staff that the breakfast at the Xinqiao Hotel is delicious—"

Without the President there, Mikami Yua showed a relaxed state of mind.

She thanked Li Xuewu very politely, and then stated the location where she wanted to eat.

Li Xuewu told Han Jiankun, the command vehicle led the way, and the Toyota Crown followed all the way to the Xinqiao Hotel.

Actually, he hadn't eaten breakfast at the Xinqiao Hotel, but he had eaten dinner there.

Back when Selena came to Beijing on a business trip, he met her there.

However, in his opinion, eating breakfast at a hotel is just idle chatter.

If you want to eat well and be full, you can find a small restaurant on the roadside.

But, since she mentioned it, it shows that the Xinqiao Hotel is good in her heart.

Furthermore, bringing Mikami Yua, it's really not good to drill into a small restaurant, it's easy to misunderstand.

Therefore, a little after eight in the morning, the two cars arrived at the entrance of the Xinqiao Hotel.

Li Xuewu walked inside with her very casually, but didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in the hotel.

It had been more than a year since he last came; the Xinqiao Hotel hadn't changed much, but the guests eating in the hotel had changed a batch.

Before, you could often see people from the Foreign Affairs Office, or overseas businessmen, but now you don't see any.

Instead, there are some young people sitting in the restaurant, chattering and acting recklessly.

Li Xuewu glanced at them and knew their identities; most of them were veterans, and there were also two tables of ruffians.

Is this a meeting to settle scores, or a chaotic gang fight?

The two groups of people who were just arguing about fighting lost their voices as soon as Li Xuewu appeared.

The waiters in the restaurant also discovered Li Xuewu's extraordinary nature, so they took the initiative to invite them to eat on the second floor.

Han Jiankun's waist was bulging; these people naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous, plus Li Xuewu's highly recognizable face, everyone knew who had come.

It's just that they couldn't imagine what Li Xuewu was doing bringing a girl here early in the morning.

Just by being glanced at by Li Xuewu, the few leaders lost the courage to argue.

After watching Li Xuewu go upstairs, they started making noise again.

"Hahaha—bumpkins!"

Someone shouted: "Don't come here to embarrass yourselves, you've embarrassed all the men of the Four Nine Cities!" ===== CHAPTER 1127 =====
