Chapter 1142: Li Xuewu's True Face

"I have just introduced them to Mr. Nakamura."

Li Xuewu smiled and signaled to Kong Xiaobo and Xia Zhongquan on his right, saying, "This is the person in charge of our inspection team."

The seating arrangement for the symposium was very particular; the left hand was for the honored guests, that is, the people from the Sanhe Stock Company.

On the right hand, engineers from the Red Star Factory and the 701 project were arranged; the two sides had been in relatively frequent contact in the past week and got along very harmoniously.

Just before the symposium started, Kong Xiaobo privately revealed to him that the cooperation agreement had already passed the audit of Bingfei.

The next step would be audit and approval by the First Ministry of Machine-Building and the Third Ministry of Machine-Building.

Theoretically, the two sides hadn't reached a cooperation agreement for this project, but in reality, everyone knew they could already talk about execution.

The point wasn't Bingfei, nor the Third Ministry of Machine-Building, and it wasn't even the First Ministry of Machine-Building that was the master of this project.

It was the Red Star Factory; this project could only be the Red Star Factory's.

Li Xuewu gave a lot of face; on the afternoon of the same day, after the two people's conversation ended, he arranged for the office to be responsible for the reception and service work of the 701 project team.

It was mainly in terms of food and lodging, as well as inspection and research.

He didn't cherish his broom as if it were a treasure, and even less did he act arrogant or disdainful, deliberately putting on airs; instead, he arranged for them to visit the factory area very openly and inclusively.

It was mainly scientific research construction, as well as the construction situation of the future ecological industrial park.

Li Xuewu didn't have time; it was Sha Qizhi who was responsible for the reception work.

The foreign affairs office organized them to go to relevant departments for research, inspection, and understanding of the actual situation of the Red Star Factory.

This played a key role in Bingfei quickly passing Li Xuewu's cooperation agreement.

The Red Star Steel Factory could no longer be simply summarized and described as a professional factory; the scale here was too large.

Just listening to the introduction of the relevant person in charge and standing in front of the planning map on the whole wall, one felt surging emotions and yearning.

Under the condition that the French architectural design and engineering team hadn't moved in, the engineering department had already done a lot of forward-looking designs for the planning.

This was thanks to Li Xuewu's ultra-long-range perspective and sensitive industrial sense of smell, as well as his important influence in the Red Star Factory.

It allowed the Red Star Ecological Industrial Park to carry the characteristics of the era and the future in its initial design.

High-rise office buildings, full-area telephone, television, and communication coverage, underground warehouses and parking lots (three defenses) forward-looking construction, life and technology perfectly integrated into the production environment.

Especially the ecological park landscape built according to the Liangma River brought a strong shock to the 701 team from Bing City.

Since ancient times, the capital had been an inch of land and an inch of gold; in the era of industry first, proposing the concept of ecological construction from an ultra-long-range perspective, transferring heavy industry, and technicalizing light industry, these big moves made them suddenly feel that they were bumpkins.

Just last week, the Red Star Factory newspaper and broadcast vigorously publicized the news that the new steel factory located in Steel City had officially started construction, with a total investment of over 5 million yuan.

According to the relatively detailed report in the newspaper, the Red Star Factory had invested more than just over 10 million in Steel City.

Metallurgical industrial projects, hardware industrial projects, automobile industrial projects, electronic industrial projects, etc.

They hadn't seen others yet, but they really felt that the Red Star Factory had money.

In the service department here, they actually saw live seafood, as well as rich local specialties from other places.

Just looking at the workers' attitude toward these products, one could know that these commodities absolutely weren't scarce materials that were sometimes available and sometimes not; they were long-term supplies.

The point was, Red Star Factory workers didn't need coupons to buy commodities in the internal supply and marketing department.

What concept was this?

As long as you had money, the things here could be picked and chosen at will.

Even scarce materials like beef and mutton could be bought by factory workers with just money.

What could they say? They could only say the Red Star Factory was too awesome, and the workers here were too happy.

Thinking of Bingfei, thinking of the unit in the midst of reform, they suddenly felt it was quite meaningless.

Privately inquiring, the Red Star Factory also experienced reform, much earlier than their unit.

This was thanks to the geographical advantage of the capital; they understood this very well.

But quickly completing the reform, forming the management committee, stabilizing the situation, and carrying out economic and production construction made them unable to keep up with the train of thought.

It turned out that the Red Star Factory's reform was for real; there was no exploration stage at all; it succeeded directly.

Everyone was still learning from each other, feeling the stones to cross the river, but you actually flew over, and were running on the other side; you said it was annoying!

Of course, they wouldn't ask, and wouldn't dare to ask sensitive topics; from a few words, they could know that the Red Star Factory's losses were minimal.

Compared to other factories and units, the learning and reform here were very gentle and stable.

Bullshit—

People from the 701 project team had this thought when they heard this introduction.

Meat food and various non-staple foods, industrial products supplied without limit, such high worker benefits; who would make trouble?

Don't say the Red Star Factory leadership asked everyone to work hard and study hard; even if the leader asked everyone to work overtime, they would all be willing.

Looking at the Red Star Factory's production workshops, as well as the newly built tertiary industry workshops.

The mouths of these people were even more sour, because the attention here to worker safety was much higher.

No wonder this was the birthplace of the double plan and safety production standardization.

Listening to the person in charge, Deputy Director Li, who was in charge of safety production work, was pushing for the implementation of key projects for occupational disease prevention and control.

The workshops that had already been built had implemented concrete measures in this aspect.

Including but not limited to dust prevention and control, labor protection, regular physical examinations, and part-time health workers.

Even the current workshops didn't have the generally existing phenomenon of dirt, disorder, and poor conditions.

Clean, tidy, safe, and orderly was the norm here, and it was the first lesson of new worker induction training.

If you don't compare, you don't know; if you compare, you get a fright.

Aircraft manufacturing was considered a high-standard industry for ordinary industry.

But in the Red Star Factory, the 701 team could see that the industrial production standards here were higher than Bingfei.

Just a very simple phenomenon: there were no workers with long hair scattered in the production workshops of the Red Star Factory.

All female workers tied their hair, wore work hats, and wore full sets of work clothes.

Even the shoes of special operation workers had protective steel plates.

According to the workshop director, this kind of boot was used by the factory guard team before; later, after the tertiary industry reform, production capacity improved, and it had already been popularized to ordinary workers.

In the mechanical processing workshop, the situation of steel components slipping out of hands and hitting feet, causing serious injuries, was greatly reduced, and even after safety standardization was implemented, it rarely appeared.

Before, it wasn't news which workshop had casualties today; now it was absolutely big news.

Before, when casualties occurred in the workshop, the workshop director's responsibility wouldn't be very big.

But now, don't even think about it; minor injuries get disciplined, serious injuries or deaths get removed from their posts directly.

Correspondingly, high-pressure safety management also had high rewards encouraging grassroots management.

Safety production 100-day activities, safety no-accident competitions, safety production skill evaluations, etc.

Certificates of merit, mobile red flags, advanced collectives, advanced individuals, prizes, bonuses, all were very tempting.

Li Xuewu did work, balancing punishment and incentives very well.

If you aren't responsible, then wait to fall behind; if you work hard, then you have gains and returns.

Safety production management directly reflected production capacity and quality; the 701 team now didn't dare to doubt the Red Star Factory's ability to build airplanes.

Even if the person in charge of this project, Li Xuewu, had been emphasizing that the Red Star Factory lacked such strength.

But who believed it—

The old factories and old workshops that were maintained had already reached this crazy level.

I heard that the electronic factory built in Steel City was made like a high-class hotel.

Of course, this was just the factory workers' private description, because they didn't know how to describe it either, they could only say the production environment was very, very good.

Just looking at the tertiary industry industrial side's newly built factory area, one knew that the professional factory built in Steel City would only be more professional and excellent than this side.

If the Red Star Factory didn't have the strength to produce airplanes, then what was Bingfei?

Therefore, habitually, people from the 701 team already regarded Li Xuewu's words as a kind of modesty.

The more modest Li Xuewu appeared, the more they felt they couldn't see through the Red Star Factory.

The result of this was that they had less and less confidence in the cooperation of this project.

Looking at the Red Star Factory when they came: a jumping clown, also daring to show off in front of the master?

Looking at the Red Star Factory after coming: Godfather is above, please accept the child's bow!

As long as the cooperation agreement passed the audit of the First Ministry of Machine-Building and the Third Ministry of Machine-Building, the 701 team would be stationed in the Beijing Red Star Factory to work.

The two sides would jointly form a project team to provide services for the dismantling, modification, and installation of the aircraft production line.

Afterward, it wouldn't be disbanded, but would continue the production and subsequent research and development work of this model.

The staff responsible for docking said during private chats that Deputy Director Li was very enthusiastic about airplanes.

It wasn't just helicopters, otherwise there wouldn't be contact and communication with the Feng City Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

Of course, currently, the Red Star Factory would only do helicopters in the aircraft field.

Including subsequent research and design work for light helicopters and medium-to-large helicopters.

With the innate advantage of foreign trade, the Red Star Factory wouldn't follow the rules and just bury its head in building cars.

That is to say, what the 701 team learned, although the Red Star Factory and Bingfei jointly formed a research team, they would absolutely not count on them to build airplanes.

Now this model was implemented, and in the future, there would be other models and production lines introduced.

For example, cooperation with the French was deepening; Deputy Director Li had talked to the French about airplanes, and they were the most advanced medium helicopters.

This attracted the attention of the 701 team; Bingfei also had projects of this type.

However, suffering from no external technical channels, or stubbornness in management, the progress of scientific research projects was very slow.

Besides this, there were also big problems in research funds; after all, the family foundation was thin.

The scientific research needs and theories of the Red Star Factory were different; here it was for the market.

That is to say, all scientific research projects and research results were ultimately to be invested in the market.

For example, the food industry; I heard that the research institute was experimenting with how to secondary process seafood and agricultural and sideline products into small snacks like twists.

Researching with a purpose wouldn't lead to scientific research waste.

At least in the general direction, it could ensure that scientific research work was carried out efficiently.

Therefore, the Red Star Factory's investment in scientific research was the point the 701 team envied the most.

They were researchers, and naturally they were very sensitive to project fund investment.

Moreover, the Red Star Factory's attitude toward scientific research was also what they identified with.

Especially the introduction channels of foreign advanced technology and cooperation with foreign businessmen.

Reception personnel revealed that in the future, the Red Star Factory's aircraft manufacturing industry would still be dominated by civil use.

The scope of civil use was very wide; besides so-called herding cattle, medical treatment, live streaming, etc., there were also agriculture and transportation, and wider market applications.

Compared to military use, the products here could realize economic value more quickly.

Then conversely, the introduction and production of civil aircraft by the Red Star Factory would inevitably provide fresh blood for the mainland's aircraft technology.

The 701 project team had a very absurd intuition.

The Third Ministry of Machine-Building facilitated the 701 team of Bingfei to enter the capital and join the Red Star Factory project team; the purpose wasn't to research new airplanes, but to learn new technology.

That is to say, the Red Star Factory's aircraft manufacturing factory became a buffer zone.

Aircraft from outside could be produced and manufactured here, but they wouldn't be directly supplied for military use.

These technologies would be transferred back to Bingfei through the 701 technical team, where military production would be realized.

Their responsibility wasn't research, but stealing teachers, stealing openly and honestly.

And they also had to work for free for the Red Star Factory.

Wasn't it working for free? The Red Star Factory and Bingfei engaged in a joint operation system; personnel in the project team each took their own unit's salary.

The only thing they had in common was bonuses; when they completed the tasks assigned by the Red Star Factory, or when research and development had results, they would be given a one-time reward.

But in such an environment and purpose, where was the advancement of scientific research? They couldn't even learn the incoming technology, let alone convey it, right?

So the highest achievement they could realize was completing the tasks assigned by the Red Star Factory, as well as the responsibilities endowed by Bingfei in this project.

No wonder the Red Star Factory, while resisting them so much, still cautiously carried out cooperation.

Knowing it couldn't be rejected, then clarify the problem, isolate it, and save trouble later.

And after understanding these, hearing these, and thinking through these, did they have complaints?

Whether they had them in their hearts, I don't know, but in reality, they all had to pretend they didn't understand.

The Sha director responsible for reception spoke very gently, but his ability to hide a knife in a smile was truly remarkable; he said what should be said and clarified it.

How could they dare to have complaints? The 701 project had already lost its meaning the moment the Red Star Factory spread the news of introducing the KH-4 helicopter production line.

Now they could still carry out work in the form of a team, which was entirely an opportunity given by the Red Star Factory.

The Red Star Factory insisted on independent production and insisted on maintaining the integrity of foreign trade contracts.

This was the attitude Li Huai expressed when he reported this project to the higher-ups for the first time.

Didn't the Sanhe Stock Company dig a hole?

Stop joking; how could international commercial cooperation not dig a hole? It was still a big hole.

Didn't I promise to give you an aircraft production line?

You still feel it's not enough, then I'll give you a big one; do you want it or not?

Of course the Red Star Factory wanted it; meat was delivered to the mouth; even if they knew there was a hook, they had to eat it.

Because they were too hungry; if they didn't eat, they would starve to death sooner or later.

Therefore, the Red Star Factory chose both the aircraft production line and the numerical control processing center.

The result was that clear requirements appeared in the cooperation terms: the aircraft production line could only be supplied to the Red Star Factory for the production and manufacturing of aircraft.

The numerical control processing center could only be used for the manufacturing and processing of the Red Star Factory's trade products.

In other words, just giving the aircraft production line, the Sanhe Joint Stock Company didn't have the confidence to require the Red Star Factory to retain the production line.

Once the news spread, their reputation in the international trade market would be ruined.

After all, this was the era of technical blockade.

However, technology transfer for production purposes could be justified; the Red Star Factory's products were only aimed at the civil market, and even carried out foreign trade activities through the Sanhe Joint Stock Company.

Then, whatever the Sanhe Joint Stock Company gave the Red Star Factory could be explained.

If you have the ability, you also come to the mainland to pick up cheap bargains.

That was what was said to the outside, but to the mainland?

The Sanhe Joint Stock Company wished the Red Star Factory's aircraft production line and numerical control processing center were transferred away or hidden.

This way they could occupy an absolute advantage in subsequent commercial cooperation.

You breached the contract; no one would do business with you again, except us.

You not only have to compensate us, but also have to be manipulated by us.

Otherwise, I will accuse you of commercial breach of contract internationally, and even the enterprises in the mainland won't be able to do foreign trade business.

This era was the era of credibility, especially the mainland, which was particularly particular about credit.

Therefore, whether this production line came or not, the Sanhe Joint Stock Company had something to play with.

Was this hole big?

If one wasn't careful, the Red Star Factory would be finished, and foreign trade would also be finished.

Li Xuewu scolded these people as little devils; no one gave them a grievance.

Of course, don't feel aggrieved, everyone; after all, Li Xuewu wasn't a good person either.

From the beginning of the cooperation, he was calculating people, engaging in big flying to copy their retreat.

You aren't engaging in cheap appliances to dominate the market, right? When the Sanhe Joint Stock Company becomes the only one in Japan and South Korea, the Red Star Factory will have to listen to them if it wants to open up the overseas market again.

If they don't let you in, you can't get in; at worst, they'll change a production base.

How much investment can this thing have? They aren't afraid of dying together.

How did Li Xuewu calculate it?

You can be the only one, but I want to make your butt leak wind.

Big flying goes to sea, cheap appliances disrupt your commercial rhythm, making you not the only one.

After excellent and cheap electronic products establish their reputation, Li Xuewu wants these products to quickly overdraw market expectations.

A batch of formal trade goes over, a batch of big flying goes over; anyway, don't let Sanhe be full.

When the market quickly saturates, the Sanhe Joint Stock Company can only provide more advanced products and production technology to maintain the advantage of advancement.

And the Red Star Factory wants to control big flying dumping to keep it at half a year later, not giving Sanhe anxiety.

The previous cooperation was like this, and the aircraft cooperation was also like this.

Smiling on the surface, cursing behind the back.

The Red Star Factory not only complied with the requirements of the Third Ministry of Machine-Building, disguisedly eating the 701 project team, but also seduced the Feng City Aircraft Manufacturing Factory to enter the game.

Why must they pull the Feng City Aircraft Manufacturing Factory into the game?

At this time, Fengfei was still called Factory 112, or State-run Songling Machinery Factory.

Don't be fooled by the factory name; although it was called a machinery factory, airplanes were produced here.

Currently, the newest model was the J-6, and the J-8 was being researched.

Do you know what this means?

Supersonic aircraft, complete aircraft component production capability.

Not only were airplanes produced here, but there was also deep research and production capability in fields such as passenger car and light off-road vehicle manufacturing; mechanical and electronic equipment, tooling and mold manufacturing; metal materials, etc.

Isn't this a coincidence? They were in Feng City, the Red Star Factory was in Steel City; the business was very similar.

According to Li Xuewu's temperament, think about it, could he let go of this big fish?

And the future fate of Fengfei was also quite tortuous; intervening in cooperation at this time was actually a very good opportunity.

In the Liaodong industrial field, it was very rare to have such a comprehensive business unit.

Dare not say to integrate the other party, but in cooperation, it was fully possible to realize mutual benefit and win-win through joint industry and tertiary industry.

At the very least, promote the supply chain over there; even if there was no way to intervene in aircraft manufacturing, cooperation could be carried out in other fields.

The supply chain wasn't just one category of aircraft components; there were many projects.

But the Red Star Factory might use Fengfei's machinery and components in the future.

After the Feng City First Machinery Factory was integrated, the Red Star Factory wanted to build a first-class mechanical processing factory in the Liaodong region, giving the old iron in the Northeast a lesson with the most advanced technology and management.

Put the advertisement out, and also sell machine tools and numerical control machine tools.

Our own mechanical processing factory is using these lathes and numerical control lathes; what else do you have to worry about?

The formation of the industrial chain was like this, and the expansion of the supply chain was continuous and highly penetrating.

Speaking of which, Bingfei, don't look at it being far away; Li Xuewu wanted to calculate them, and they couldn't run away either.

Today the 701 team was at the Red Star Factory; tomorrow Li Xuewu would dare to want more aircraft scientific research personnel to support construction.

You don't want to come?

Then do you still want to learn advanced technology?

You came?

Then I have quite a lot of work to hand over to your engineer team right here.

Anyway, the results researched are taken out by you for military use, and I use them for civil use here.

Not interfering with each other, and even less interference, free strong labor.

Even, this year aircraft industrial manufacturing was carried out, and next year the vocational technical college would open classes.

He had already thought about the teachers; just use the strong labor.

With the scientific research environment and funding temptation of the Red Star Factory in the capital, he didn't believe Bingfei's engineers wouldn't be confused.

Today we obtained the production line for light helicopters, which was a small step forward for the mainland's civil aircraft manufacturing industry.

Tomorrow we would take off our pants and pee further, higher, and stronger—!

Of course, we couldn't take big steps; big steps would tear the eggs; what to do if we pee on our hands?

The result of Bingfei and Fengfei entering the game was inevitably that the mainland would eat the introduced technology faster.

The Red Star Factory obtained support and help from above to expand and maintain the current foreign trade qualifications.

That is to say, the more advanced technology the Red Star Factory brought back from the outside through commercial means, the larger the opening for the Red Star Factory's foreign trade through the Ministry of Industry, and the more rights it had.

Under the trend of maintaining high production efficiency and high conversion rate of civil commodities, the Red Star Factory's products would inevitably become a business card for foreign trade.

When the situation formed and stabilized, the foreign trade channels here stabilized.

Why engage in a trade management center in Tianjin instead of the capital?

Because the capital wasn't suitable for foreign trade management, and even less suitable for foreign businessmen to enter frequently.

But Tianjin was different; this place itself was an important port for the mainland to cooperate with foreign businessmen.

Don't say there was no foreign trade in these years; in fact, business had always been done.

Closing was relative, and it wasn't our initiative; it was because some clowns couldn't bear to see us get rich.

With Tianjin as a support point, the Red Star Factory wanted to exert force in the capital to pry open the overseas market.

Placing the production base in Steel City, scattered in Feng City and the capital, was to absorb effective resources.

When the Red Star Factory's foreign trade channels stabilized, it was time for the Tianjin Trade Management Center to usher in great development.

Not only must there be mainland supply chain enterprises entering, but there must also be enterprises like Jilixing Shipbuilding Company entering to trade and develop together.

And the Red Star Steel Group, which had special foreign trade qualifications, technical and equipment introduction special qualifications, would become more and more famous in the eyes of foreign businessmen.

When carrying out foreign trade activities, it had more choices and credit foundations.

With the Hong Kong Oriental Era Bank as a springboard, funds realized fast and active circulation, which could drive a large batch of domestic industrial factories to realize foreign trade goals.

What to do if they didn't have the qualifications and ability?

If it was through the Import and Export Corporation, not only would they suffer losses and restrictions in contracts and pricing power, but they would also lack necessary communication and trust in production.

But now the supply chain gave them a second choice.

Join the supply chain; not only could they get the most suitable components from domestic enterprises, but also welfare goods and daily necessities.

Even more, they could put their own products into the supply chain to get production orders.

Whether the orders were foreign trade, they didn't need to care; the Red Star Factory Trade Management Center would give clear production requirements and instructions, and communication was also with the management center, and they didn't need to care about foreign exchange for payment.

Pricing power wouldn't be restricted, but it appeared in the form of public bidding.

No advantage, but no disadvantage either; two-way selection.

Supply chain enterprises fully released production capacity overflow and developed vigorously in tertiary industry.

This kind of situation was easier to stimulate industrial development, and at the same time could drive high-level employment.

The Red Star Factory steel industry hadn't recruited people; the 20,000 newly recruited people were all tertiary industry and joint industry, properly new investment industry.

The Red Star Factory's leading advantage appeared; in foreign trade, it had a more extensive commodity catalog; when negotiating, it didn't need to worry about political factors at all.

That is to say, talking about business in business, how much should this thing sell for; if you give less, it won't work.

While earning marketing expenses, the Red Star Factory also returned high profits to supply chain enterprises.

Did this count as a market economy?

Not completely; it even ran counter to the theoretical basis of market liberalization.

But if you want to say this was a planned economy, it didn't match at all.

It could only be said to be an economic form that met the mainland's industrial production and trade situation under the conditions of a planned economy.

Only public-to-public, public-to-outside, just be a middleman, and want to earn the price difference.

The more excellent the trade performance, the more active and confident it was in trade dominance.

If the Sanhe Joint Stock Company wanted to continue to cooperate with the Red Star Factory, it had to constantly take out real skills.

Today I can be satisfied with the KH-4 old model, old production line; wait for me to produce this thing and fly to the sky; I want to make you cry.

At the beginning, of course, I want to produce KH-4, but next year, the year after, I research AKB-48 with this model; then can I still sell it to you as compensation trade?

Do you want the distribution rights?

If you want, I'll give you a high price; slaughtering you without discussion.

If you don't want, I'll find someone else to sell, cutting off your road to aircraft sales, using low prices to kill you.

You want to talk well, want a friendship price; okay, take more advanced aircraft technology to exchange.

The little devils' hearts were very wild; they didn't care about the technical blockade set at all.

As long as there was money to earn, what did they care about Ugly Dad or not; this was free trade; can you manage it!

Earn money first, then talk; how to explain...

I'll hold a press conference, bow and apologize, that's fine, right!

You just say, do I lack your bow?

The Stock Company president said, you just go and sell, it doesn't matter what you sell, as long as you earn money, I'll guard the front press conference and be responsible for bowing.

Did Nakamura Shuji know in his heart that Li Xuewu saw the big hole he dug?

Did he know Li Xuewu dug a big hole for him in return?

This was inevitably known, but in international trade activities, it was to dig holes for each other; otherwise, how could one control the other party to earn money for oneself?

This was comparing who could dig holes better, who was more insidious, who was more evil.

Just think about it, why did all the Red Star Factory leaders unanimously believe that Li Xuewu had absolute advantages and advanced experience in foreign trade.

Saying he could speak foreign languages, saying he was young and witty enough, saying his brain was flexible and he understood a lot.

Of course, these were all beautiful words; behind the back, who didn't know that Deputy Director Li was particularly good at pitting foreigners.

If you want to talk about playing tricks and playing bad moves, he had already hidden and secretly enjoyed it; you might not even be able to see it.

These people from the 701 project team, didn't they react only after the contract (selling contract) was signed and they wandered around for several days?

Kong Xiaobo, sitting next to Li Xuewu, didn't dare to underestimate Li Xuewu at all.

Why?

Because this contract (selling contract) was something he himself actively fought with the factory to sign.

If there was a capable person at the Bingfei factory who could see it, I'm afraid they would laugh their teeth off.

This Kong Xiaobo was so knowledgeable and awesome in technology and management, but what was the result?

Selling himself, and so actively!

Typically letting people sell him and still having to help them count money.

If you want to say Kong Xiaobo wasn't satisfied?

Li Xuewu didn't worry about this; just watch, he would still have to thank himself.

"Thank you for the trust of the Red Star Factory leadership, thank you for the support of Deputy Director Li."

Kong Xiaobo thanked Li Xuewu with a smile after Li Xuewu's opening speech.

He was speaking in the capacity of the person in charge of the inspection team's management team.

Li Xuewu had just introduced the cooperation overview of the aircraft project in his speech.

He expounded on the importance of this project in the Red Star Factory's group-building process.

He also emphasized the importance and attention attached to this project by the Red Star Factory leadership and relevant comrades.

At the end of the speech, Li Xuewu also smiled and issued an invitation to the representatives of several parties present.

He wanted to promote communication and cooperation between the inspection team and the Japanese business representatives.

After all, in the coming year, the inspection team would have to go to Japan to work and study.

Nakamura Shuji would go back with the inspection team to escort the inspection team.

Japan had already carried out commercial actions for the project, formulating plans for the transformation and dismantling of this production line.

Once the mainland's inspection team went over, they would directly participate in it.

If there were any concerns and thoughts, naturally it was better to speak out now and ask clearly.

What Li Xuewu could solve, naturally he would solve on the spot; what couldn't be solved, he would communicate with the representatives of the parties present to solve.

If it couldn't be solved on the spot, then the person who raised the problem shouldn't participate in the inspection team.

Solve the problem first before going; otherwise, it would be troublesome when outside.

They were going to learn and work, not to make trouble or raise problems.

Kong Xiaobo, as the representative of the 701 project team, couldn't say the internal code name 701.

From today on, he could only use the name and identity of the Red Star Factory to carry out work externally.

In the introduction to the Japanese businessmen, he was the project team leader of the helicopter project of the Red Star Factory Aircraft Research Institute.

"I am very looking forward to this project—"

He looked at the Japanese business representatives opposite him very reservedly and seriously, saying, "If we can get fair and sufficient participation treatment, I think this is the goal our inspection team is looking forward to most."

"Regarding this point, Mr. Li should understand."

Nakamura Shuji understood what he meant, signaled to Li Xuewu's side, nodded with a smile, and said, "Please believe in our sincerity, friends of the inspection team."

"On this project, not only did the Red Star Factory invest a lot of financial and material resources."

He gently signaled himself and said, "We, the Sanhe Joint Stock Company, are also looking forward to it, and hope even more that this project can land smoothly."

"As long as the friends of the inspection team execute work according to the procedural documents formulated by both sides."

Nakamura Shuji took a serious expression and said, "I will definitely guarantee that your side gets sufficient and fair treatment; we are friends."

"Thank you, Mr. Nakamura—"

Kong Xiaobo was very satisfied with the other party's answer, had a smile on his face, and nodded in thanks.

Subsequently, the Red Star Factory's chief engineer Xia Zhongquan, on behalf of the project team, explained and clarified the key issues involved in the inspection activities.

At the same time, he also inquired about the problems mentioned in the process of forming the inspection team to the Sanhe Joint Stock Company.

Nakamura Shuji's team gave answers very patiently, including his few subordinates.

Beautiful women always got preferential treatment; during the symposium, whether it was the 701 team or the comrades of the Red Star Factory Aircraft Research Institute, they all responded with polite smiles to their answers and explanations.

Needless to say, the etiquette of bowing and smiling politely, even if they did nothing and just sat there, made the male comrades present polite in their speech.

In the subsequent symposium, Li Xuewu didn't speak too much, but listened to the speeches and opinions of the representatives of both sides.

If there were problems, solve them; on-site communication was very convenient.

This was the last formal communication before the inspection team set off; afterward, they would only see each other on the airplane.

Just when Qiu Guanlin, the deputy chief engineer of the 701 team, finished asking relevant life questions and obtained the Japanese side's answer, a young man raised his hand.

The form of the symposium was originally relatively relaxed, allowing participants to ask questions.

So seeing the young man who raised his hand to ask a question even though he wasn't a representative, Li Xuewu also took him very seriously and asked him to speak.

He didn't recognize the other party, so he could be sure that this young man was from the Bingfei factory.

"Hello, Deputy Director Li, hello, Mr. Nakamura, my name is Zhu Lei."

The young man greeted very politely, and under Shangguan Qi's nervous expression, asked a question in an overly weird tone: "How is the living environment in Japan? If my lover and I go to Japan, what difficulties will we encounter in life?"

This question sounded like there was no problem, very normal; going abroad to live for half a year, naturally one had to ask about the worries in one's heart.

However, what time was this? What work project?

The management team strictly prohibited both husband and wife from appearing in the inspection team at the same time, and boyfriend and girlfriend relationships weren't allowed either.

Moreover, such a serious and important project, why ask about survival problems in Japan?

The inspection team acted as a group from takeoff to landing, and after arriving in Japan, they wouldn't even have the opportunity to survive and go out alone.

The whole process was working and living in the aircraft manufacturing factory, and all living materials were provided by the project team.

So his question wasn't just touching the red line; it was completely trampling on the red line.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows when he heard him ask, and his gaze fell from his body onto Kong Xiaobo's face.

What did he want to do?

What was the proud expression on Zhu Lei's face for?

Turning his head along his line of sight, he saw a young woman sitting in the seat for those attending.

The young woman was full of despair, as if frozen, staring blankly at Zhu Lei.

What the hell was this playing?

Li Xuewu's brows knitted, playing childish games on my project?

The scene fell into an ice cave in an instant, and even the Japanese businessmen felt Li Xuewu's attitude.

Nakamura Shuji looked at the young man asking the question and really wanted to kick the other party out with one foot.

Is it easy for me to engage in a project? You come to mess with me while I'm trying to curry favor with the Red Star Factory!

Still want to go to Japan? I'll kick you into the sea halfway!

"I'll answer this question."

Just at the moment the scene fell into a stalemate, Mikami Yua answered with a smile: "I come from Tokyo; the pace of life there is very fast."

"If you talk about lifestyle," she slightly signaled to the few colleagues beside her and emphasized, "Compared to Tokyo, we prefer the capital; it's too hot there; life in the capital makes me very comfortable."

"Thank you, Miss Mikami—"

Li Xuewu didn't look at Zhu Lei, and even less gave him another opportunity to ask questions, and thanked her actively.

Subsequently, he looked at Nakamura Shuji and proposed, "I think today's symposium should end here; if there are any questions later, you can tell the person in charge, and then the project team will be responsible for communication and coordination."

No fire, no scolding, and even less explanation and advice, just rationally solving the problem.

Nakamura Shuji stood up with a smile, shook hands with Li Xuewu, and was sent out the door by him personally.

Originally, the foreign affairs office organized a banquet at noon, so the parties at the symposium could communicate and coordinate further in a relatively relaxed environment.

It was just that under this kind of situation, don't even think about the banquet; investigation meetings and criticism meetings were to be held.

Li Xuewu stood at the entrance of the reception house, watched the other party's motorcade leave, and then turned his head to look at Kong Xiaobo who was following behind.

"I don't want to hear your explanation, and I don't care what his background is."

He pointed at Kong Xiaobo's chest and said coldly, "Immediately, right now, let him get out of the Red Star Factory for me, otherwise I'll send him to the shooting range!"

After speaking, he didn't care about Kong Xiaobo, whose face was flushed, took Peng Xiaoli, got into the command vehicle, and left.

Kong Xiaobo stood on the spot trembling all over; he knew this was Li Xuewu's true face. ===== CHAPTER 1143 =====

He did not lose his temper, did not scold anyone, and certainly did not pursue accountability; he simply solved the problem rationally.

Nakamura Shuji smiled as he stood up, shook hands with Li Xuewu, and was personally escorted out the door by him.

Originally, the Foreign Affairs Office had organized a banquet for noon, where the various parties could further communicate and coordinate in a more relaxed environment.

But under the current circumstances, a banquet was out of the question; the investigation and criticism meetings had to be held.

Li Xuewu stood at the entrance of the guesthouse, watching the other party's motorcade depart, before turning his head to glance at Kong Xiaobo, who was following behind him.

"I don't want to hear your explanation, and I don't care what his background is."

He pointed at Kong Xiaobo's chest and said coldly: "Immediately, right now, have him get the hell out of the Red Star Factory, or I will send him to the firing range!"

After saying this, he ignored the flushed Kong Xiaobo and left with Peng Xiaoli in the command vehicle.

Kong Xiaobo stood where he was, trembling all over; he knew this was the true face of Li Xuewu.
