Chapter 1166: You tell me, is it okay?

~35 min read 6,901 words

"What are you considering?"

Xiangtaer sat in the car, on the way back to the factory, and asked Li Huai De, "We can provide more extensive support."

"No, this is not a question of the intensity of support, but a question of principle."

Li Huai De looked at Li Xuewu confidently, smiled, and said to Xiangtaer, "The Red Star Factory has the ability and the responsibility to independently support the construction and development of the ecological industrial zone; otherwise, we wouldn't have taken on this project."

"Our funds are limited, and our engineering equipment is backward, but our thinking is not backward, and our vision is very broad."

He pointed to the ecological industrial zone planning map on the marble table and said, "The reason we chose to merge other factories and spend effort to exchange for land space is to be independent and ensure the speed of development."

"Of course, we don't refuse cooperation, and we don't exclude openness."

Li Huai De very tactfully rejected the more extensive fundraising plan and the joint construction plan proposed by Xiangtaer.

Li Xuewu didn't know who had blown wind in her ear, or which departments like the Foreign Economic Office had introduced other factories to them during their cooperation with the Red Star Factory.

But from the other party's probing, he could tell that someone was optimistic about the potential of the Red Star Factory and the development results of the ecological industrial zone construction, and wanted a piece of the pie.

Was Old Li a pushover? Was he honest? He couldn't do a losing business!

The Red Star Factory was Old Li's lifeblood. Whoever dared to reduce his lifeblood by a millimeter, he would dare to play with his life.

"We are going to build a joint industrial building, a joint research institute, a laboratory, and a comprehensive trade warehouse."

Old Li very clearly pointed out the locations of these functional areas he just mentioned on the planning map.

It could be seen that he had spent a lot of time pondering (dreaming) about this big cake drawn by Li Xuewu and this blueprint unfolded.

If you say he doesn't understand architectural engineering, he can at least understand the planning drawings.

"We will invite more joint enterprise cooperation offices to enter the Red Star Factory and enter the joint industrial building."

Li Huai De spread his hands on the drawing and introduced, "We will invite more scientific research units and universities to research and cooperate together."

"We will also continue to expand joint trade work and build comprehensive trade warehouses in more cities."

His finger pointed to the locations of more than a dozen important cities on the national map laid out by Li Xuewu, and he said very clearly, "This is our vision."

"Internal? Is it an internal vision?"

Xiangtaer understood, and also raised questions about the key points.

Her eyes observed the cities Li Huai De had pointed to, and she was calculating something in her heart, but the topic had already extended to foreign countries.

Li Huai De smiled without saying anything, but looked at Li Xuewu, signaling him to speak.

Li Xuewu nodded slightly. Once Xiangtaer finished looking at the map and pondered for a while, he introduced it harmoniously.

"Our Director Li is very conscientious and down-to-earth in his work."

While speaking, he laid out a world map on the table, "I am young, bold, and a bit ambitious."

"Hehehe, Deputy Director Li is being modest—"

Li Huai De criticized Li Xuewu, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"The bigger the heart, the bigger the world; young people should wander a bit."

"Wander" here wasn't a verb, but an adjective.

He introduced to Xiangtaer, "The factory's foreign business is all handled by Deputy Director Li, so it's more convenient for him to introduce it."

"I admire Deputy Director Li's professional quality very much, especially his international perspective; his experience surprises me."

Xiangtaer smiled with a knife hidden in her words, complimenting with hooks, obviously telling the truth, but she was a bit fearful in her heart.

Fearful of what?

Fearful of a Red Star Factory having someone who hadn't been abroad, was excessively young, but knew the international situation like the back of his hand.

In negotiations, his language was sharp, his ability was outstanding, he could speak fluent foreign languages, and he could understand advanced industrial and other special knowledge. You tell me, is it scary?

If you say this is very normal, then in the negotiation, he could mention the helicopter project that France and the UK were currently cooperating on. Do you still think he is normal?

Being able to handle complex foreign affairs accidents, being able to negotiate helicopter projects, holding a position in the Red Star Factory, and having a part-time job in the Garrison District...

If you still say he is normal, then Xiangtaer could only curse.

"China has an old saying: A scholar doesn't leave his door, yet knows the affairs of the world."

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't care about the pit Xiangtaer dug for him, explaining, "My knowledge is not as good as a scholar's, but I like to read extensively."

While he was speaking, the interpreter behind Xiangtaer wanted to curse; couldn't you just speak plain language? Why are you pulling out words!

Polite words naturally had to be said in Chinese, and work words could be switched to French.

He pointed at the world map with his finger and told Xiangtaer about the Red Star Factory's current planning and layout in world trade.

Things like "two points and one line," "a stroke left and a stroke right," "key development," "cooperation emphasis"—very high-end, very mysterious.

Xiangtaer didn't need an interpreter, but listening to Li Xuewu, she was also confused.

Her business vice president, William Robin, was also confused.

And translated by the interpreter, Li Huai De, after listening to Li Xuewu's words, bit his teeth and pursed his lips hard, not letting himself laugh out loud.

A slight smile, let's not make a scene.

Li Xuewu really knew how to mess around; everyone in the factory said he was the best at fooling foreigners, and it was truly embodied here.

Xue Zhifu was also in the car. After listening to the translation, his look at Li Xuewu was different.

When he couldn't hold it anymore, he turned his head and faced the window.

He thought to himself, you foreigners should thank us; it's fortunate that we watched him strictly and didn't give him a chance to go abroad.

If Li Xuewu were allowed to go abroad, this world trade pattern would be finished, all scams and bluffs.

What the hell is "two points and one line," "a stroke left and a stroke right"? He is the Deputy Director of the Red Star Factory Management Committee; why hasn't he heard of it?

Hey, not to mention he hadn't heard of it, Old Li, who was holding back over there, also said, I'm the first director of the management committee, and I haven't heard of it. Could you have heard of it?

Li Xuewu talked about two points and one line; the two points were Jinmen and Hong Kong, and the line referred to the communication and exchange between the two port cities.

What "a stroke left and a stroke right" is, is expanding trade and economy from the inside out, based on the center point of this line.

Products from the Steel City Industrial Zone go straight to Hong Kong, using Hong Kong as a springboard to radiate the entire Southeast Asia and push outward along the coastline.

Jinmen Port as the second support point, directly expanding to Japan, South Korea, North America, and South America, focusing on the Pacific economy.

You said, the Red Star Factory is too awesome; it hasn't even figured out the domestic offices, and it wants to go to sea. Can you get out!

Of course, it can't get out, and the Red Star Factory doesn't have overseas distribution channels.

But the Red Star Factory doesn't have them, which doesn't mean international traders don't. As long as there are foreign merchant ships docked at Jinmen Port, there won't be a shortage of "sea carriage drivers" here.

In other words, when the Red Star Factory doesn't have the ability to build its own foreign trade channels, it chooses suitable partners for key development.

No matter what kind of person you are outside, as long as you can sell our goods when you come to the interior, you are a good cat.

We want key development, key support, and we will hit out with our independently developed and produced project products at a certain preferential price.

We don't invade the international trade market; we just act as a stirrer in the international trade market.

Yeah, we are the stick—

Key development is there, what about side-focus cooperation?

It's very simple; Geely Star, Saint-Aya, Wufengxing—aren't these all cooperation?

We have a mature industrial system and low-cost factory operations. We want to be the world's factory, so in cooperation, we focus on technical cooperation and shared cooperation.

No one understands the psychology of foreigners better than Li Xuewu. If the Red Star Factory really wants to fight a price war and really wants to introduce policies to support international traders, the world trade situation will surely be broken by this place.

Merchants chase profit like flies. If there is a sweet taste here, you can't drive them away.

It seems like support and policy for foreign merchants, and also a benefit, but for Xiangtaer, it's not like that; she wants to eat alone!

Why did she only start negotiating with the Red Star Factory after the foreign trade team left? It was to avoid alerting other foreign merchants.

And hearing Li Xuewu expound on the Red Star Factory's foreign trade planning, her heart skipped a beat.

Standing from the perspective of the Red Star Factory, building two industrial export ports, running through the trade connection line, doing business at the "doorstep," and making the world factory famous—this approach is too damn correct.

If she were Li Huai De, she would want to hug Li Xuewu and kiss him. Such a subordinate is very rare.

But she wasn't from the Red Star Factory; she was the one who wanted to eat alone!

The Red Star Factory currently has three main types of cooperation partners: one is internal channels like Wufengxing, one is technical channels like her and Andrew, and the last is retail investors attracted by the foreign trade meeting.

She doesn't consider trust representatives like Wufengxing; there is no comparability at all; people have the same blood flowing in their bones.

Originally, she should be wary of old money families like Andrew, guarding against the other party snatching her opportunities.

But now the Red Star Factory has turned its butt and is actually preparing to support those retail investors she is least worried about.

What are retail investors? They shoot and change places, going wherever there is profit. If they really become a climate here...

No need to think; as long as the Red Star Factory gives certain policy support and preferential policies, these retail investors will soon become big players and eventually become international traders.

In this process, if one out of ten traders supported by the Red Star Factory deepens cooperation and becomes a core, that's enough.

By then, how should the first batch of trade enterprises like them, which focus on predatory management, conduct themselves?

Of course, this is just Li Xuewu's introduction; there is no actual policy yet, and Saint-Aya still has time.

Besides, is what Li Xuewu said necessarily true?

This question is worth thinking about; she has to go back and ponder it before coming to a conclusion.

"Still thinking about the Saint-Aya Group?"

This afternoon, Li Xuewu took a car to the city to negotiate the acquisition of a theater, and together with him was Bu Qingfang, the director of the propaganda department.

There were three cars in total, and in the two cars behind were several cadres from the art propaganda team and the engineering department.

Bu Qingfang saw Li Xuewu's brow still tightly locked after getting in the car, smiled, patted his knee, and said, "Fishing requires patience."

As for how Bu Qingfang knew that Li Xuewu was fooling foreigners on the Hongtu No. 1, it wasn't difficult.

She was the person in charge of propaganda work, so naturally, she had to grasp the work status and movements of the factory's main leaders.

Especially this kind of major foreign reception and exchange activity was the focus of internal reporting and research.

Bu Qingfang had been in the propaganda post for nearly eight years. It was no exaggeration to say that any wind or grass movement in the factory couldn't be hidden from her.

Li Xuewu glanced at her, dissipated a bit of his worry, smiled, and asked, "Will this year's propaganda work be more convenient?"

"Why? Are you asking for a favor now?"

Seeing Li Xuewu about to explain, Bu Qingfang waved her hand and joked, "Fine, if you have something to say, just say it. Who told the propaganda department to owe you."

"Yo, hearing you say that, I feel so embarrassed—"

Li Xuewu leaned on the seat, looking at the increasing traffic on the road into the city, feeling very happy about the current economic development situation.

Society is tending toward stability, the situation is tending toward stability, people's hearts are settled, and grasping reform and production is a kind of appeal and affirmation of stability.

"Look, whether it's the art team or the broadcasting station, I didn't ask for a favor when I helped—"

Li Xuewu smiled and spread his hands, mentioning to Bu Qingfang, "Is this a fact?"

"Does this count as an account?"

Bu Qingfang smiled and looked at him, asking, "Tell me, how big is the demand? Don't scare me, my heart is small."

"You're looking at people through a crack in the door—"

Li Xuewu folded his right leg and said seriously, "The art team has undergone expansion and reform, and currently needs to undergo secondary development."

"While satisfying the internal art propaganda needs of the Red Star Factory, it can also satisfy the craft propaganda work of the joint industrial brother units."

He pointed at his spread palm and continued, "Now, according to Director Li's instructions, continue to expand influence, go out, and promote the advanced culture and experience of the Red Star Factory. Isn't this very good?"

"You mentioning this reminds me—"

Bu Qingfang was more than ten years older than Li Xuewu and showed enough respect for him in work, but was quite relaxed and easygoing in private.

She slapped Li Xuewu on the thigh, looked at him seriously, and said, "The leadership intends to reform and upgrade the factory newspaper, right?"

"We discussed this at the last meeting, about where the future of the factory newspaper will go as an important public opinion position and mouthpiece for the factory's organizational work."

"This topic is too big; being down-to-earth and taking one step at a time is the right way."

Li Xuewu was blatantly touched on the thigh and knew she was deliberately taking advantage of him, but a woman in her thirties, he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Judging from several newspapers and magazines with good sales and promotion results on the market, combined with the reform experience of the art team and the broadcasting station, my opinion is to seek truth from facts and work hard."

"Ha, you say I'm exaggerating and faking, but your four-character opinion is too concise."

Bu Qingfang was just joking with him; how could she be serious? But the young man's body was really good!

"Hurry up and give me some pointers; I can't wait."

"I wouldn't dare to give pointers; we are all comrades. If you have anything to say, I'll just say it directly."

Li Xuewu smiled and retorted, telling her to respect herself and stop taking advantage of him.

Of course, these were all jokes. Although the two didn't have a particularly close private relationship, their work relationship was quite tacit.

In fact, many people have the habit of separating work and life. Maintaining friendly tacit understanding at work is enough; there's no need to become like relatives.

The higher one goes, the more this is the case. Cadres at the division level in the factory rarely drink together every day; the influence is very bad.

Especially when it comes to promotion and appointment, the organizational department will focus on examining the interpersonal relationships of the parties involved.

Having this kind of obvious collusion and interaction will affect one's future.

The most suitable type is the "gentleman's friendship is as light as water" type like Li Xuewu and Bu Qingfang. If you don't believe it, savor it carefully.

"First is internal reform; this must change, and the speed must be fast."

Li Xuewu was talking seriously, and Bu Qingfang opened her notebook to take notes. This was attitude and tacit understanding.

No matter how much they messed around, Li Xuewu's position and the power in his hands were her leadership.

Otherwise, why was Li Xuewu leading the team today?

"Politics, news, learning, etc., must have independent layouts; life, service, logistics, etc., must have independent layouts; culture, entertainment, construction must have independent layouts. This is the most basic requirement."

Li Xuewu explained to her while speaking, and it was very clear.

According to his requirements, the factory newspaper must separate into magazine publications, issue comprehensive newspaper publications, broaden the vision, enlarge it, and lower it.

Broad is the width of the surface, seeing more industrial development; big is the pattern, paying attention to the development of joint units and tertiary industrial development, as well as the development of the world trade pattern.

Low is the mentality; reporting must have a leading role, a guiding role, and also reflect the actual thoughts and problems of the masses.

Content that cannot be explained clearly or in detail in the newspaper must be explained clearly, thoroughly, and transparently in the magazine.

Making publications is for the public to read. It's not good if only organ cadres can understand; it's only good if factory workers and their families can understand and love to read.

This is the first step; the second step is external reform.

External reform has two layers: one is inside the factory area, and one is outside the factory area.

Li Xuewu had talked about the inside of the factory area before, and the factory newspaper was doing it, which was cooperation with the art team and the broadcasting station.

But this time Li Xuewu put forward new requirements and expectations, which was to gradually knead the three units together.

"A clenched fist has strength."

Li Xuewu gestured his fist to Bu Qingfang and explained, "The factory newspaper, the broadcasting station, and the art team, and even the external performance service work we are about to do, are all key propaganda work."

"You must attach importance to them from the height of ideology. You are to promote the Red Star Factory brand. Without unity, without centripetal force, how can you promote it?"

He pointed at his palm and said, "You should have already interpreted the preliminary opinions and content of the group-based organizational structure issued by the factory management committee office."

In the process of future group-based development, the factory art publishing house will be established with these three teams as the main foundation.

Art, performance, broadcasting, film, and newspaper are important cultural and propaganda components of the Red Star Factory in the future.

The factory propaganda department will be upgraded to the group propaganda department, and there will be no branch institutions at the section level under it, only branch institutions directly under the factory, which are the branch factory propaganda departments.

The current secondary branch institutions must jointly establish a publishing house at the division level to make further progress and upgrades in the future.

Bu Qingfang also understood this point, so when Li Xuewu spoke, her notes were more detailed, and there was no joking expression on her face.

In the expression of external cooperation and expansion, Li Xuewu emphasized that the Red Star Factory media must be more efficient and stable, and must more actively expand its influence.

This time, merging sixteen Beijing enterprises and one Fengcheng enterprise was the best opportunity for the factory propaganda department to do work.

The framework of the art publishing house must be set up, and the factory newspaper is a more penetrating media carrier than the art team and the broadcasting station.

Therefore, while merging the propaganda power of seventeen enterprises, it is also necessary to expand the propaganda power of the Red Star Factory newspaper.

It is necessary to strengthen the propaganda department construction work of key branch institutions such as Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory, Steel City Industry, and Jinmen Trade.

It is even more necessary to unify the factory newspaper and make it independent, mastering it in the hands of the Red Star Factory propaganda department in the form of building branches.

In the process of future promotion and group-based development, the establishment of a publishing house is the most powerful means to unify the propaganda caliber.

Otherwise, the Red Star Factory newspaper has one opinion, and the Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory newspaper has another; wouldn't that become a big joke.

The management and leadership of branch factories will become stricter and stricter, and the authority will become tighter and tighter in the process of factory promotion and group-based development.

For leaders at the branch factory level, without the authorization of the Red Star Factory management committee, they are not allowed to express opinions and attitudes.

It is the same internally and externally. How to manage opinions and attitudes, the factory newspaper is the key.

"Internally, we must lay a good foundation and do a good job in construction; externally, we must continue to expand until we take down the propaganda work of the joint units."

Li Xuewu's attitude and opinions were very aggressive. He undisguisedly pointed out that the Red Star Factory's propaganda work would have great use in the future.

Reminding Bu Qingfang, before going to the battlefield, prepare the gun barrel well; don't rush up with your butt naked.

Bu Qingfang heard his words, and her heart was also heavy, both happy and worried.

Where did the joy come from, and where did the worry come from?

Who is Li Xuewu? The main promoter of factory promotion and group-based development, and the successor Li Huai De values most and focuses on cultivating.

He is now gradually taking over the business coordination and organizational work of the entire factory. This is the work of the director of the factory management committee office. Could Bu Qingfang not attach importance to it?

To a large extent, Li Xuewu's words represented the opinions and work direction of the management committee.

Then the key question comes: Li Xuewu pointed her out and explained the management committee's layout and direction for propaganda work clearly. What does this mean?

It's very simple; as the person in charge of the propaganda department, she basically doesn't have to worry about her position being adjusted during the factory's promotion and group-based development process.

At the very least, during group-based development, she will also be the deputy of the enterprise propaganda department, in charge of publishing house business.

This is naturally a happy event. How many division-level cadres are running around like headless flies, looking for things to do and trying to make meritorious service?

Isn't it just to keep up with the factory's progress in the process of promotion and group-based development?

Now Li Xuewu has given her the road and direction forward; she just needs to work hard and rush forward.

What is she worried about?

Listening to the sound in the words—

The Red Star Factory has two opportunities in the next three years: one is promotion, and one is group-based development.

Li Xuewu has already made it clear what the key to her future progress is, which is the factory's requirements for propaganda work.

As long as the construction of the art publishing house framework is completed, and the reform of the factory newspaper and other propaganda departments is completed, she can follow the factory's promotion with this merit.

While completing the overall construction and improvement of the publishing house, and expanding the influence of the Red Star Factory, she will have the opportunity to become the person in charge of the enterprise propaganda department.

How big is this opportunity? It entirely depends on how much influence the propaganda department has generated for the Red Star Factory under her hands.

Is external propaganda so easy? Is it so simple to take down the propaganda work of other units?

Don't talk about the main position; even the deputy position is not easy to get. This idea is definitely something Li Xuewu thought of.

The whole factory's best person at stimulating and mobilizing enthusiasm is Li Xuewu. He is an old painter, and the best thing he does is draw big cakes.

Of course, after listening to it, Bu Qingfang only had the share of agreeing; otherwise, she wouldn't even have the opportunity to compete and work hard.

Li Xuewu also talked about his support for Bu Qingfang, not just in work.

Contacting the city's culture and real estate departments to acquire the stalled grand theater was the best support for Bu Qingfang.

Continuously carrying out art performances, promoting the culture and experience of the Red Star Factory in various artistic forms such as repertoire, is an excellent means to expand influence.

This is there, what about the occupation of other factory propaganda positions?

Li Xuewu also talked about it: If the mountain doesn't come to you, you go to the mountain generously.

In the name of joint units, carry out cooperation with the newspapers and broadcasting stations of brother factories, and merge and assimilate the other party through business ability, equipment level, and development thinking.

Making newspapers or art teams, all require money, and it is an investment that cannot generate direct economic benefits.

And at this time, engaging in propaganda is risky. The interpretation of ideology and policy, as well as the propaganda of work, must be cautious.

If after contact and cooperation, the Red Star Factory is willing to help them with propaganda, anyway, the newspaper will report on their enterprises, the art team will come to the factory to perform, and the theater and cinema will be open to their workers.

On the basis of tertiary welfare supply cooperation, can't propaganda work break through these propaganda barriers within three years?

No need for much; as long as you clench your fist, take down a few target factories first. Once they see the effect, they will naturally propose it themselves.

Li Xuewu had made a special report on this matter to Li Huai De. After listening to his report, Li Huai De's attitude was firm.

Old Li said, don't be afraid of spending money on propaganda work; smash it hard. If you can take it down in three years, the Red Star Factory won't lose money even if it smashes one million.

It's damn not losing money. Everyone knows that buying the right to speak of dozens of key enterprises for one million won't lose money.

Mastering the throat of these factories, then the Red Star Factory will have the right to vote for these factories to a certain extent.

The media of the publishing house will speak on behalf of these factories, and the influence will be huge.

By then, how awesome will Old Li, as the head of the Red Star Factory, be? This is really hard to say.

The internal unity of the joint industry, unified thinking, unified understanding, naturally will follow Li Huai De.

As long as he walks steadily, as long as he is fair and just, and leads everyone to rush forward, how solid will his foundation be.

If anyone wants to calculate against the Red Star Factory and calculate against Li Huai De, they have to think about it.

Damn it, one call and a hundred responses, dozens of key enterprises speaking out, whoever comes must think carefully and seriously.

Otherwise, do you think Bu Qingfang would be worried, and Li Huai De would be willing to spend one million to improve the influence of the Red Star Factory?

After listening to Li Xuewu's words, Bu Qingfang felt that it was not unreasonable for him to rise to the top. With this kind of thinking and planning, if she were in Li Huai De's position, she would also reuse Li Xuewu.

In the afternoon, Li Xuewu led the team, and the Red Star Factory's propaganda department and engineering department focused on inspecting several theaters provided by the city.

Some were Beijing opera theaters left over from the Qing Dynasty, with teahouses, and some were theaters and cinemas built in the twenties and thirties.

There were also theaters and new-style cinemas built in the forties and fifties.

Each has its own merits. The building structure of the very old ones is average, and the venue is average, but they are cheap. The geographical location of the ones with short years is average, and the venue is okay, but they are too expensive.

Besides these professional theaters, Li Xuewu and the others also inspected theaters and cinemas belonging to units.

Because of the reform of art propaganda work, units intended to sell these industries in exchange for more sufficient fiscal budgets.

Bu Qingfang chatted about Li Xuewu's opinions along the way, and later also chatted about this discovery and inspection situation.

At the same time, she also listened to the opinions of representatives of the engineering department and the art team.

Each has its merits; older buildings have average structures and average sites, but are cheap. Buildings with a short history have average locations and average sites, but are too expensive.

That is to say, it doesn't matter if the theater is small; the performance team can be dispersed to perform in turns, which is more fresh.

Of course, the attitudes and opinions of the two were diametrically opposed, which didn't mean there was a contradiction in what they said.

Actually, it was because the angles of looking at the problem were different, and the considerations were also different.

Neither Li Xuewu nor Bu Qingfang made an evaluation of this.

The engineering department mainly inspected the quality of the buildings and maintenance costs, as well as renovation costs.

Some buildings had been empty for a long time and needed maintenance, and some buildings didn't meet the performance needs, which meant they needed renovation.

Finally, it was Li Xuewu who made the decision, taking into account everyone's opinions, and selected four medium-sized theaters from the theaters that met the standard requirements for building quality, according to the east, west, south, and north directions of the city.

And selected two cinemas according to the east and west directions of the city, and selected a large theater in the city center, which was close to the Red Star International Hotel.

It has to be said that the current cultural fixed assets are really damn cheap!

After returning, they also held a closed-door meeting. People from the engineering department said that the cost of renovation and maintenance would not be too much and was within a controllable range.

Mainly because the Red Star Factory was now engaged in large projects and large construction sites, and these workers and building materials were ready-made.

If you say performance equipment and theater equipment, this is not very difficult.

As long as there is money, Li Xuewu has a way to import it from abroad.

Last time Old Li mentioned the Western orchestra, Li Xuewu ordered a batch from Hong Kong through Ji Weidong.

Ji Weidong's original words were that Li Huai De was a toad matching a frog.

No way, Old Li's hobby is actually very vulgar. He used to smoke, but now he has even quit smoking.

You say he likes girls, but Zhou Miaomiao is already in a relationship. You tell me how much productivity he has left.

A few days ago, Yingcheng Shipping reported to apply for cooperation with foreign merchants to build yachts for leasing business, and Li Huai De approved it happily.

You asked, Old Li doesn't dare to take a boat, why did he still approve this document?

Does any billionaire in the world buy a plane or yacht and live on it every day?

Is the point the plane and yacht?

Isn't the point that he has a plane and yacht?

Old Li likes Western orchestras. Does he understand it or does he like this style? Neither.

The Red Star Factory having a Western orchestra proves that it has "B-grade" in foreign trade work. We have started playing with foreign stuff!

Later, when there are major activities, invite foreign business partners and domestic cooperation partners, and the Western orchestra takes the stage, specifically playing "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman," "Unity is Strength"... You tell me, is it okay?

Even Ji Weidong felt that Old Li was burning enough, and what he played was really damn fancy!

If it weren't for Li Xuewu repeatedly guaranteeing that this idea was definitely not thought of by him, Ji Weidong would have suspected that Li Xuewu deliberately came up with it to disgust foreigners.

Not for anything else, just because Li Xuewu was too damn damaging. The matter of him teaching the French foreign affairs museum cultural commissioner to curse on the street had already spread in Beijing's foreign affairs circle.

"Oh, you're talking about that one from the Red Star Factory, the one who taught foreigners to curse?"

Wednesday morning, Li Xuewu, on behalf of the Red Star Factory, made a special visit to the Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Branch for motorcycle distribution business.

The one who received him was Deputy Director Ma, who had just taken office not long ago. The two could be considered old friends and old relationships.

"Hahaha, I said that if there's nothing to do, you wouldn't go to the Three Treasures Hall. How could you, Deputy Director Li, have time to see me!"

"You criticize me—"

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with Deputy Director Ma, saying in a low voice, "Congratulations."

Deputy Director Ma smiled and tilted his head, not taking this topic, but Li Xuewu's congratulations had already been received.

Of course, it wasn't just received; the news of his progress was sent to his home by Shen Guodong.

In the past two years, Li Xuewu's relationship with him had developed very stably. The two sides rarely met, but mutual concern and support were absolute.

Deputy Director Ma's support for Old Biaozi, for Shen Guodong, and for the recycling station was also unreserved.

With Wang Shu in the neighborhood to rectify the name of the recycling station, and Deputy Director Ma to preside over the business, who would dare to come and find trouble for them.

Repaying godmother was Li Xuewu's family affection, and repaying Deputy Director Ma was real feelings.

Old Biaozi once made a ruthless decision to sacrifice himself and offer his body to repay the support of the then Director Ma.

Of course, it wasn't offered to Director Ma, but to Director Ma's daughter.

Director Ma was so scared that he almost knelt down to become sworn brothers on the spot, emphasizing that there was no enmity between the two, which scared this pig away. His little cabbage couldn't withstand his arching.

Not to mention the holidays, that's too vulgar. Shen Guodong is more honest than Old Biaozi, deals with Deputy Director Ma more, and deals with his wife even more.

Don't think crookedly; it must be emphasized here, otherwise you will shoot yellow guns again!

Deputy Director Ma has pursuits, so naturally, he wouldn't take things from the unit to his home, so nutritional supplements, seasonal vegetables, eggs, and meat products were all sent home by Shen Guodong.

Sometimes when Deputy Director Ma was at home, his wife would keep him for a meal, and Shen Guodong would also eat there generously, and the relationship was very good.

So when he heard that Li Xuewu was coming to visit, Deputy Director Ma also went downstairs to greet him personally.

Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Branch, not very big, only manages the supply and marketing business of this half of Dongcheng, so-so.

You listen to Li Xuewu bragging; this half of Dongcheng is already very big. With this half, what's missing from the other half?

"I've heard about it; is that motorcycle model off the assembly line?"

Deputy Director Ma had heard about it. Li Xuewu had quit smoking, so he didn't be too polite after entering the room.

The two were also very casual. Li Xuewu didn't bring so many people, light and simple, and he also let Li Xuewu come to the office.

This kind of relationship talking about business is very convenient, and both sides understand each other very well.

"It's been off the assembly line for more than half a month, and the production capacity is still improving."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to introduce, "There is no inventory at all. It's gone the same day it comes out. Just in the Beijing area, we can't supply it."

"Then why think about opening a shop?"

Deputy Director Ma smiled and pointed at Li Xuewu, saying, "Just go straight from your factory; it saves costs and increases profits."

"You are still criticizing us—"

Li Xuewu joked, then explained, "We have to consider the long term, and also consider market share."

"This thing is not high-tech. Maybe there will be followers within a year or two, as long as we sell well."

"Hmm, that's true—"

Deputy Director Ma took a puff of his cigarette, nodded, and asked, "What is your factory's thinking? Tell me, I'll listen."

"It's very simple; our factory is willing to cooperate with the supply and marketing company to lay goods and sell in the Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

Li Xuewu explained, "At the same time, please coordinate on your behalf to recommend and lay goods to Xicheng and other county supply and marketing branches."

"Especially, in order to build the motorcycle brand, we will choose several suitable store locations in Beijing to build into standard demonstration stores."

"Wait, what does this standard demonstration store mean?"

Deputy Director Ma was a ghost of a person. As soon as he heard it, he understood, and pointed at Li Xuewu with amusement, saying, "You don't trust us?"

"Two sets of systems, two kinds of means."

Li Xuewu didn't deny this point, but specifically pointed it out, "We don't have the right to decide how to sell the goods laid to the supply and marketing company, but we want to establish a brand image. This is the standard and concept of the Red Star Factory serving the people."

The supply and marketing cooperative selling motorcycles naturally requires tickets, and the service is also uneven. Li Xuewu had a deep experience when buying a bicycle.

He wanted the supply and marketing company to provide procedures and support the Red Star Factory in opening standard demonstration stores, which was to force the supply and marketing cooperative to improve service quality.

Standard demonstration stores don't require tickets, but the price is higher, and the service is better. This is to ensure the sales volume of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The products produced by the Red Star Factory can only be sold in the factory area in principle, or sold in batches publicly.

Building terminals and opening shops in the city is not allowed; the supply and marketing system doesn't allow it.

Look at why no one cares about the franchise store behind the Third Guard Regiment dormitory; because that store is inside the courtyard, and the supply and marketing company can't manage it.

Just like the service department inside the Red Star Factory, this is an internal business of the factory.

Now, to build a brand at the terminal, occupy the market, and form an effect, one must obtain the permission and support of the supply and marketing company.

So now do you understand why Li Xuewu wants to talk about cooperation and take the initiative to provide real estate to cooperate in building standard demonstration stores? ===== CHAPTER 1167 =====

Building terminals and opening shops in the city is not allowed; the supply and marketing system doesn't allow it.

Look at why the franchise store behind the Third Garrison Regiment dormitory isn't managed by anyone—because that storefront is inside the compound, and the supply and marketing company can't manage it.

Just like the service department inside the Red Star Factory, this is internal factory business.

Now, to build a brand at the terminal, occupy the market, and form an effect, one must obtain the permission and support of the supply and marketing company.

So now you understand why Li Xuewu wants to talk about cooperation, take the initiative to provide real estate, and cooperate to build brand-standard demonstration stores, right?
