Chapter 1272: This thing hurts when it hits you

"What did you go to see in the morning?"

At 12 noon, the various inspection groups returned to the Metallurgical Factory Guest House small restaurant for lunch.

Only Li Xuewu's group was late.

At 12:30, many people had finished lunch and gone upstairs to rest before they walked into the lobby, dusty and tired.

This group not only returned late, but Art and the others' leather shoes and trouser legs were also stained with dust and grass clippings.

It didn't look like they went to visit a factory, but rather like they went hiking in the mountains.

A foreign businessman who was relatively familiar with Art asked curiously: "Did you go to see a construction site?"

They were also puzzled. Just look at the industrial production capacity; why did they drill into a construction site?

What was there to see about that thing?

"You will never imagine what we saw—"

Art pinched his fingers and sighed very exaggeratedly: "It broke my stereotypical cognition of civil hardware and completely stunned me."

"Forget it, let's eat first."

Without waiting for the stunned other party to ask again, the shocked expression on Art's face still hadn't dissipated. He shook his head slightly and went to the restaurant.

"What did they see?"

The foreign businessman stood in place curiously, looking at the backs of Art and the others, feeling as uncomfortable as if being scratched by a cat.

They knew very well what Art did. If they associated it, would they have seen some amazing big guy?

But you can't say Art doesn't do small business in rifles, and he isn't arrogant enough to do big business in poached eggs!

It wasn't that no one found Art and the others' strange behavior along the way, but they couldn't ask for a reason.

The more shocked Art performed, the more he could attract the hearts of these people.

So much so that the rumors went out of shape later, saying that the Red Star Factory showed them newly developed secret surface-to-surface and surface-to-air weapons, preparing for export.

Some didn't believe it. Art had this capital and this courage, but he didn't have this ability in the weapons market.

Furthermore, they didn't believe the Red Star Factory was crazy enough to dare to export this thing.

But there were also those who believed it. If Art could even buy this thing, it meant the Red Star Factory lacked technology and equipment, and everything could be discussed.

Hanging in the sky!

From the inspection activities in the morning, they learned that the industrial development resources occupied by the Red Star Factory in Steel City and Ying City were quite powerful.

Although there were large industrial and mining enterprises locally, there were no group-type industrial enterprises of the same type.

Even Liaoning Province didn't have such a trust enterprise that spanned several industries and ran through the upstream and downstream of the steel industry.

Therefore, the heart for cooperation was alive, and the confidence for deep cooperation was also alive.

"Mr. Li, that cannon of yours..."

"Hey! Which cannon of ours?"

There were no outsiders at Art's table, only these good friends who visited in the morning. He also had the intention to talk urgently.

But Li Xuewu didn't agree with his words and reminded him indifferently: "Our metallurgical industry and steel rolling industry are relatively perfect."

"If you want to buy civil gas canisters and drainage pipes, this business can still be discussed."

"Yes, yes, yes—"

Art nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "I just want to buy gas canisters and drainage pipes!"

"In order for every household to use gas stoves and have perfect underground drainage systems, I must import this civil hardware."

Good heavens, they experimented with a 10-liter gas canister in the morning, and the explosion power was equivalent to 150 kilograms of TNT explosives.

It was also equivalent to 3000 grenades.

The position of the shelling was an abandoned brick-and-tile mountain temple seen through binoculars. After the smoke and dust dissipated, the mountain god was gone, and anyway, the temple was gone.

Actually, the shooting accuracy of the gas canister cannon was average, and the range was also average.

But you can't stand the fact that the cost of this thing is also average.

A gas canister is 50 yuan, a section of drainage pipe is 300 yuan, plus steel plates and explosives, etc., raw materials, 200 dollars isn't even used.

But its effect and concealment are much stronger than a 200mm cannon.

His customers aren't all rich businessmen, and they aren't necessarily rich organizations. If they can import "suitable" assembly materials from the Red Star Factory, and use them after welding and installation according to the drawings after landing...

Hiss—

Then don't sell any heavy mortars; this is a proper land house-demolisher.

Don't mention it, Li Xuewu's service is humane. Furniture can be produced as assembly parts. Who requires gas canisters and drainage pipes to be shipped as a whole?

He even designed the tail fins for the other party, and even prepared assembly drawings, electric welding machines, ballistic rulers, and instruction manuals.

English, French, Spanish, there is always one suitable for you.

The Red Star Factory cannot directly export house-demolishers, and international shipping also prohibits the transport of such heavy weapons.

But no port will refuse a ship of gas canisters, and no port will refuse drainage pipes.

Art's eyes were bright, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

He swore to shock the whole world and get the title of the most awesome civil hardware trader!

"Take your time, don't rush, there are plenty of good things."

Li Xuewu knocked on the table with a smile, picked up his wine glass, and signaled everyone to toast for cooperation and for the future.

After seeing what firepower was, Art's friends were completely convinced, and they raised their glasses one after another and shouted "Bottoms up!"

The attention of the whole canteen was attracted. Among the ten groups, their group was the liveliest and the atmosphere was the most jubilant.

"What car is this? How strange?"

On the afternoon of the 28th, it was still Li Xuewu leading the team, and still Art and his group. They had a full lunch and a beautiful nap before setting off.

Some people were curious and wanted to transfer to his group, but were told it was full.

What the hell is full? Just say you won't take them.

Actually, it wasn't like that. Li Xuewu really didn't do any tricks in the afternoon, but the things he showed Art and the others had strong directionality.

The motorcade went straight to the car factory, brushed past other groups visiting here, and entered the experimental factory area.

As soon as he got out of the car, Art was startled by the big guy in front of him.

Looking closely, it seemed that it hadn't finished design yet; it was a model car in the experimental stage.

"Red Star Factory's new project, 'Tantu' (Journey)."

Li Xuewu introduced very indifferently: "Do you want to try it?"

"But this... can this car drive?"

Art was still a bit confused. Looking at this car, it seemed to be just an empty frame. The engine and control system weren't missing, it was just...

"Looks strange—"

That's right, even his friends said it was strange.

However, even if this car was strange again, with the gas canister cannon in the morning as a base, these people didn't dare to guess wildly and unanimously concluded that this car had a way.

"Of course it can drive, although it hasn't achieved mass production yet."

Li Xuewu also didn't pay tax for blowing cowhide, directly fooling the hand-rubbed concept car into not having achieved mass production. The gap here was huge.

He also didn't care about Art's confusion, stepped on the thick steel pipe pedal and jumped onto the car, twisted the igniter, and heard a burst of popping sounds.

"Diesel engine!"

You don't need to listen carefully to distinguish it. If you still can't hear it, you can smell it from the black smoke and smell behind the car.

"This is a big monster; the gasoline engine can't move it."

Li Xuewu smiled domineeringly. Without waiting for Art, who jumped up, to sit down, he stepped on the accelerator to the end. The engine roared, taking the two of them and rushing out.

You look all over the Red Star Factory; there is no factory leader as wild as him, or rather, cadres above the deputy division level don't drive themselves at all, and there is no such way of driving. They played with their lives!

Experimental area, the venue is off-road. Not only are there sand pits, but also water pits, and even sharper stone pits and nail board pits. Anyway, whatever is extreme, they do it, just to test the passing performance of this car.

The hand-rubbed prototype car is really powerful, especially using CNC machine tools to process various supporting parts regardless of cost, and the effect produced is also full-line. This monster car made Art in the passenger seat boil with blood.

If Art were a girl, he might say: You are so bad~ I like it so much~

"Good! Good! Really damn good!"

Squeak—

Li Xuewu stepped on the brake. Art almost rushed out from the front windshield without a windshield, thanks to him holding the steel pipe handrail with his life.

The places where this car can be seen can be described as simple to the extreme.

There is no luxury and comfort to speak of, but abandoning these, the off-road performance and the performance of the military vehicle are all exposed.

Passing through a 1.5-meter deep water pit, this car didn't spend any effort. Both of their pants were soaked, but their hearts were hot.

Looking at Art's miserable state, his friends didn't find it funny at all, and they all wanted to try this car.

What are you afraid of if your pants are wet? Understanding the performance of this car is the key.

Who said arms dealers don't sell cars?

Good military vehicles are also weapons!

"Very good—"

Art shouted excitedly. When he jumped off the car, he could still feel the wind blowing on his butt.

The Northeast at the end of March is not warm at all. Even if the afternoon sun is big, it can't stand the spring wind blowing at this time.

What is most important for a man?

The crotch, the crotch is the most important, so the two of them didn't have any hesitation, and under the guidance of the security personnel, they hurried back to the car to change clothes.

Art just said that after lunch, Li Xuewu exhorted them to bring a change of clothes in the afternoon, from head to toe.

At first, he thought Li Xuewu was going to take them swimming, but he didn't expect it to be winter swimming. His eggs were frozen stiff.

"Exciting, really damn exciting!"

If it weren't for the real cold, Art would definitely not give up the opportunity to drive that car himself for another round. He felt his thighs were frozen numb.

The winter at this time is just colder than later generations. Later generations can wear short sleeves at the end of March, but now wearing short sleeves can freeze you dry.

"It's just you, Art—"

Li Xuewu sat on the chair and put on cotton pants, curled his lips and said: "If someone else came, I wouldn't let him see this car."

"This is a secret project of our factory."

He introduced while putting on clothes: "It's not that this car has any dangerous secrets, but it's an important trade secret."

"I understand, I understand what you mean."

Art was very afraid of the cold. He was wrapped in a military overcoat and frozen, but he still looked at his friends driving that car and screaming.

They are all young people, all doing head-chopping business. In this life, they like three things: cars, guns, and women.

"If it were in my hometown, I would be willing to exchange one hundred women for this car of yours, two hundred is also fine."

"Don't blow cowhide!"

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "Are the women in your hometown inlaid with gold edges? Two hundred want to exchange for this car of mine?"

"You wouldn't be comparing it with our factory's 'Lingyang' (Hongxing Lingyang), would you?"

"No, no, no, there is no comparability at all."

Art shook his head repeatedly, very much agreeing with Li Xuewu's words, and looked at the distance with greedy eyes: "Ten Lingyangs can't compare to this one car."

"Hey! You're right, ten Lingyangs can't compare to this one!"

Li Xuewu put on his clothes, changed into new leather shoes, stood up and rubbed his hands and said: "At least this number after mass production."

"Eighty thousand? RMB?"

Art raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Worth it, very worth it."

Twelve sets of automotive industrial systems such as transmission, steering, braking, etc., are worth this eighty thousand yuan, not to mention this solid car body structure.

"Mounting a heavy machine gun on this car is absolutely no problem."

"What the hell? Heavy machine gun?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him dissatisfiedly, dodged his feet, pointed his hand at the experimental workshop and signaled him to follow him.

The security cadre opened the gate in advance, letting Art see a shocking scene.

It was also the 'Tantu' military vehicle that Li Xuewu mentioned, but the appearance had changed. It was no longer the bare frame car that was experimented with just now.

There was indeed a heavy machine gun on the roof, but what was installed in the back position?

"Type 63 107mm light towed rocket launcher, you must have heard its big name."

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders: "Katyusha is easy to use, and 107 is also easy to use. When there is a chance, I will take you to try it."

"Isn't 107 using a bracket?"

Art was a bit confused, gestured to the back seat of the car, and asked: "Can it be stable when mounted on a car?"

"Stable, stable as a batch—"

Li Xuewu patted his arm and said: "If you can reach an agreement with Mr. Ji, the cars we sell will be equipped with fixed positions for free."

Damn, how much is a fixed position? Li Xuewu said eighty thousand yuan for one car. Who knows how much he wants to sell it to him.

"The biggest advantage of Tantu, and also the core of the design, is modularization."

Li Xuewu pointed to a row of Tantu prototypes parked in the experimental workshop. The assembly effects of these cars were different.

"Squad transport vehicle, counting individual equipment, eight people can be taken away easily," he pointed one by one and introduced to Art: "Logistics supply vehicle, can install the cooking squad's equipment."

"Command vehicle, assault vehicle, heavy machine gun, light machine gun, desert version, snow version, jungle version..."

The more Li Xuewu introduced, the less Art's eyes were enough. He asked woodenly: "Mr. Li, I don't seem to understand what you mean..."

He hesitated and asked: "I don't seem to be the most suitable trade partner for these treasures of yours."

"Don't belittle yourself—"

Li Xuewu patted his arm with a smile: "Without a chicken, where is the egg? Currently, this car is still overcoming some design loopholes, doing final mass production preparations, including passing extreme experiments, finding modular disadvantages, and making final design supplements, etc."

He is a big cake painting expert on par with art masters like Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong. Fooling Art is also an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another.

"You also know that we lack complex battlefield practice opportunities here. When the time comes, I want to explore cooperation opportunities in this regard with you, a partner who has been tested for a long time."

"No problem, absolutely no problem!"

Art had already guessed Li Xuewu's purpose in showing him this car. Wasn't it just wanting him to help carry goods and blow cowhide?

When the time comes, find a suitable battlefield to put this modular motorcade in, and use it in the form of a special team or assault team to insert in the battlefield.

If 107 is really equipped to the company/platoon level and can achieve motorization, the power of this team will be great.

No one can refuse this standard carrier of a synthetic battalion; it is definitely a big killer for light infantry in the future.

No wonder Li Xuewu said it was the Red Star Factory's secret weapon. Once mass-produced, it will inevitably change the battlefield pattern of small-scale conflicts.

"You must take care of us first," Art said with a smile: "As long as mass production is achieved, I will order 100 units first, and there will only be more, not less!"

"Easy to talk, easy to talk, let's talk when the time comes."

Li Xuewu watched the fish take the bait with a smile, nodded, and signaled outside the door: "They should be finished testing the car soon, let's go out."

Showing Tantu to Art is to hook this big fish, let him want to come back next year, continue to increase the order volume for weapons, and cultivate a batch of loyal users of cheap weapons and cars in his trade zone.

As long as those people make a name for themselves, there is no need to worry about the Red Star Factory's cars and weapons lacking corresponding orders.

Cars and weapons can be exported, hardware industry, electronics industry, food industry, etc., all go in along with it.

This is Li Xuewu's layout for industrial exports. Whatever the customer wants, he can satisfy it and add value.

Don't underestimate small characters like Art. There aren't many big orders in the international arms market; they are all small flies like him flying around.

But when there are many flies, they can also form a situation of dark clouds pressing down.

In the absence of brand influence and trade bases, chain-style export of commodities is the simplest way.

And when export products generate a certain influence, they will inevitably stimulate the domestic trade economy, such as the Tantu car that Li Xuewu attaches great importance to.

It relates to another layout of Red Star Auto in the refined military vehicle market.

Including the luxury and comfortable land cruiser on the same platform as Tantu currently under development, the two cars hit the 212 in the military market, and the power of refinement is like this.

After completing the crushing market occupation in the military market, the civil market will also push boutique cars forward with the continuous upgrading of Red Star Lingyang.

212 is greedy for size and completeness, and it will definitely not be able to beat the several off-road vehicle brands after the Red Star Factory refines the market.

After killing 212, the Red Star Auto Factory is waiting to welcome the import car shockwave of the open market.

The reputation of the Type 66-6 sniper rifle was made this way.

Why is the domestic order for this sniper rifle growing in a tiered manner?

The reason is very simple. The monkey side is fighting jungle warfare, and this thing didn't perform very well. It's also to blame the monkey for not knowing how to use it and not using it correctly.

But Ji Weidong is responsible for tracking Art's sales area, and the battle results are good.

The quality of the Type 66-6 sniper rifle is even more durable than the original Russian version.

The reason lies in the fact that the Red Star Factory is willing to use materials and is more focused on using its heart.

The gun body structure and materials have been improved and upgraded on the original basis, like other first-model products, walking volume without walking price, easy to use and affordable.

In the situation where SVD has not been fully laid out in the international market, Type 66-6 has already started a situation of scrambling to buy.

Art bought too much last time, so there is some stock, and he is unwilling to press more funds this time.

But his friends can't bear to part with this gold nugget. They haven't sat at the negotiating table yet, and they have already started discussing the quantity of orders.

Trusting Type 66-6, they have confidence in other weapons, and they haven't thought about how long it will take for Tantu to be mass-produced.

After going back, they will inevitably blow cowhide for the Red Star Factory, saying that they got their hands on such an awesome diesel version car in the mainland, in Steel City.

Do you want a frame machine off-road vehicle equipped with 107 launchers?

I heard this thing hurts when it hits you.

"Starting contact now?"

Li Xuewu finished dinner and was walking slowly toward the conference room, but was reminded by Fan Hua in a low voice, and had to speed up his pace.

The direction of travel also changed, going downstairs and toward the auxiliary building.

There is a summary meeting and symposium every night, but he couldn't attend today's symposium.

At 7:00 PM sharp, Li Xuewu came to the General Dispatch Room of the Liaoning Industrial Leadership Group Office. Dong Wenxue and Gao Yaqin were already waiting here.

After arriving here, Dong Wenxue relayed a task, which was to immediately prepare for contact negotiations with the Santa Ya Group.

The instruction was transmitted from the Red Star Factory via secret telegram, a collective resolution of the Management Committee, appointing Gao Yaqin, Dong Wenxue, and Li Xuewu as negotiation representatives.

"I don't know the specific situation very well, but the Santa Ya Group is very eager and very direct, wanting to complete the inspection task and conduct negotiations as soon as possible."

Gao Yaqin introduced: "In order not to affect the inspection tasks of other inspection team members, we must complete this task within one day tomorrow."

"It was requested by the Santa Ya Group, right?"

Li Xuewu shook his chin and said: "They are too anxious, very afraid that we will take this opportunity to blackmail them."

"So they are anxious, compressing the time to the minimum, so that everyone has no preparation and no backhand, and also reduces their losses."

"That's how it's said, but how to operate specifically..."

Dong Wenxue pushed his glasses and said: "This afternoon, President Chantel of the Santa Ya Group proposed the opinion of exchanging CNC machining technology for construction engineering cooperation."

"Where does the Santa Ya Group get CNC machining technology?" Li Xuewu frowned slightly and asked: "French? Can she get it out? It's fake, right?"

"German, the data has already been given to us."

Li Xuewu looked at the two of them in surprise. His gaze swept across this office, the layout map of the Red Star Factory in Liaoning industry hanging on the wall, a row of tables and cabinets against the wall, piled up with technical materials.

And the technical department director and some engineers who came with them.

Dong Wenxue pointed to those who were busy with work on the table and said: "If the comparison results have discrepancies, there will be something to talk about at the negotiating table."

Obviously, the technical department director personally went down to the field, taking engineers to mark the technical parameter comparison between Japan and Germany with red and blue pencils on the spread CNC machine tool drawings.

Since the Santa Ya Group wants to use CNC technology for trading, at least they must state the necessity of the technology provided by the other party at the negotiating table.

On the basis of having secretly obtained the CNC machining center, in the past half year, the Red Star Factory has designed and produced a batch of CNC machine tools.

Of course, mass production and forming a machine processing cluster will have to wait for a period of time, and it is currently in the experimental production stage, checking for gaps and filling leaks.

As long as there is an industrial mother machine, the door to CNC lathe research and development has been opened to the Red Star Factory.

Now the fragrant bun thrown out by the Santa Ya Group is considered a meat bun in the eyes of the other party, but in the eyes of the Red Star Factory, it has no filling.

It's just that the skin looks good but is useless. If the comparison proves that the technical gap between Japan and Germany is not large, it can be completely solved by itself, then there is something to play.

This is considered a surprise, catching the other party off guard.

The Red Star Factory is not in a hurry to announce the comparison results; it wants to slap the other party stunned at the negotiating table, and then the Santa Ya Group will have to come up with better things.

And the initiative of the negotiation will fall completely into the hands of the Red Star Factory.

To say it's sinister, Li Xuewu feels Gao Yaqin is more sinister than him; this woman is really not easy to mess with.

He has always been upright, bright, and has no branches, and is very disdainful of this kind of trick of digging holes and burying people.

Of course, Gao Yaqin's status is higher than his. Since the leader decided to dig a hole and bury people, he can only follow the trend.

Sigh, I'm afraid I'll stain my good reputation this time—

"We have made some contingency plans."

Dong Wenxue handed a document to Li Xuewu and introduced: "I suspect that the Santa Ya Group doesn't just want the cooperation rights for construction engineering."

"Mineral resources?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly. He saw some possible mineral trading targets in the materials, which were geological mineral data for the Liaoning region.

Of course, Steel City doesn't have much; the most it has is iron ore, but even if there's a lot of iron ore here, it's not as much as in Australia, so it's not worth the Santa Ya Group's concern.

"Non-ferrous metals, rare non-metallic mineral resources..."

Don't overestimate Li Xuewu's knowledge reserve. He understands some fur of automotive engineering because he had calculations early on and did research in advance.

He understands some fur of ships because he has engineers to explain it to him.

He understands some fur of aircraft because Shangguan Qi often goes to his office to report, and he understood some from the side.

If you let him understand geological mineral knowledge, that's embarrassing him.

He recognizes the Chinese characters in the materials and understands the meaning, but if the ore is placed in front of him, he won't recognize any of them.

In his eyes, all ores have only one name: stone.

"Not only that, but also technology."

Dong Wenxue sat there frowning and said: "The Santa Ya Group has provided us with quite a few scattered technologies and equipment, and has basically figured out our technical reserves and the technical characteristics we have mastered."

"That is to say, the Santa Ya Group wants to carry out reverse output of technology," he explained: "The Santa Ya Group can introduce technology from outside to us, and can also output technology from us to other regions."

Don't belittle yourself, thinking that all our technologies in this era are backward and all productivity is inferior to foreign countries.

There is nothing absolute in the world. In fact, many of our technologies are leading in the world, even because of the special situation of the blockade, these technologies have been well protected, and the products have become unique existences.

Otherwise, where did so many industrial products go every year?

"Without a few rounds of probing, going directly to the negotiating table, how can we talk?"

Li Xuewu touched the beard stubble on his chin and was also worried.

While flipping through the materials, he shook his head.

His fingertips crossed the words "Construction engineering technology cooperation can be opened, some mineral resources can be cooperatively developed, standards and systems must be left with backhands."

On the other side of the table spread with CNC machine tool drawings were a few gears, and engineers were doing tests with self-developed gear precision testers.

No need to think, this is the second hole buried.

With Li Xuewu's experience and mind, this kind of chain hole is not worth mentioning in his eyes. These are all things he played with... cough cough, won't say anymore.

Gao Yaqin glanced at him and asked as if unintentionally: "Don't you know why the Santa Ya Group is so anxious to get to the negotiating table?"

"Hmm? I don't know—" Li Xuewu was stunned, looked at Gao Yaqin and asked back: "Do you know?"

"If I knew, would I still ask you?" Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously and asked: "I thought you knew."

"Why should I know?"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and said: "I don't even understand what you mean. I didn't even know when I came."

"That day, when we came out of the capital," Gao Yaqin showed her cards, looking at Li Xuewu with meaningful eyes and asked: "Didn't you chat for a long time on the deck? Wasn't it about this matter?"

"No, right? How long?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows in the blank and curious gazes of Dong Wenxue and others, and said: "Just chatted a bit, talked about the situation of the inspection delegation."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Gao Yaqin replied with full disbelief, as if she really believed it.

Li Xuewu was too lazy to bother with her. Of course, the truth couldn't be told. Do you think Li Xuewu is stupid?

What to say? How to say it?

Do you want him to say that President Chantel of the Santa Ya Group asked him how to make up her mind to divorce and preserve her property, reorganize a family with the cheating old man, and make her husband lose his reputation, fall into hell, and never turn over?

Stop making trouble. If he said it, it would be a big joke. Who would believe it!

Furthermore, if someone really believed it, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

Then people would ask, what is your relationship with that Chantel, why does she ask you for such a private problem?

You tell me, how should Li Xuewu answer?

Do you want him to say that he and Chantel are private best friends?

After all, persuading people to divorce, instigating cheating, and covering up facts, this kind of thing can only be done by best friends.

March 29th, the weather is very good.

Around 9:30, all ten inspection groups set off, but the main leaders of the Red Star Factory were not seen.

Of course, some people found that President Chantel of the Santa Ya Group also didn't appear in the assembled team.

Where are the people? Where did they all go?

Actually, they didn't go far, just in the casting workshop of the car factory.

Dong Wenxue wasn't here; he had to sit in the inspection delegation and couldn't give up the whole forest for the Santa Ya Group.

Gao Yaqin got out of the car with Chantel, and Li Xuewu's car also arrived.

With the help of safety management personnel, everyone put on red vests and safety helmets. This is a requirement of the visit process and also a safety management feature of the Red Star Factory.

Even if the King of Heaven comes, he has to wear this set.

Including the leaders of Steel City industry, leaders of Steel City, and leaders of Liaoning who came here for research, they were all very shocked and surprised.

The hygiene and safety management of the factory area made them surprised and reflective. Just this one point compared the Liaoning industry down.

There is a saying in the industrial system: how can industry not have deaths?

But in the entire Red Star Factory system, any casualty accident is a top priority and will be investigated by the safety and supervision system.

Not only will the workshop director be punished, but the person in charge of the line will also be cleaned up, so the safety red line is constantly warned.

Especially when Li Xuewu comes to the grassroots for inspection, the cadres below are even more vigilant. This is the first person responsible for safety management and established the current strict safety management system.

Li Xuewu has a deep obsession with safety management. If he picks up a fire extinguisher to look at it and it hasn't been checked or tested, wait to be cleaned up.

He will also look at production operation specifications, look at safety production standardization charts. No matter what business he comes down to see, he will look at safety.

So in the past two years, the Red Star Factory has expanded its business rapidly, the number of workers has increased exponentially, and industrial factories have been added year after year, but casualty accidents have shown a downward trend. This is a big satellite.

Li Xuewu can get a certificate of safety production every year. This is issued by the system, and the gold content is particularly high.

Why did no one question him when he became Secretary-General, and there was not a single voice of opposition from the middle and grassroots levels of the factory?

It's very simple. The credit is solid, and the achievements are convincing.

Just this one item of production standardization saves the Red Star Factory how much money and how much production cost every year.

Small problems accumulated are big troubles, and what Li Xuewu does is clean up small problems, not giving big troubles time and space to accumulate.

The situation reflected in reality is that when Chantel turned to look at the Red Star Factory's car factory, she couldn't help but exclaim.

The entire workshop floor is divided by area, and oil paint colors are used for distinction.

The red area is strictly forbidden for personnel to pass, and the green area can be walked. It is even stricter than the execution of pedestrian zebra crossings.

All production equipment has been given danger points and risk warnings.

There are more safety warning signs than white paper slogans, comparable to modern factory management models, giving Chantel a shocking blow.

"I've been to your factory in the capital," she looked at Gao Yaqin beside her and said: "The impression here is different again."

"My impression of the Red Star Factory's capital industrial zone is that the equipment and environment are old, but the workers' enthusiasm and management are advanced," Chantel raised her hand to gesture to the surrounding production environment and said: "Here, the gap in equipment and environment has been completely changed. Will all Red Star Factory factories be this standard in the future?"

"That's the plan for now."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and explained: "Some factories in the capital are about to face replacement and relocation planning, so no further investment in equipment and environment is made."

"You should not have visited our third-industry workshop. The production environment there is the same standard as here," he introduced while walking: "In the future, with better technology and equipment, this standard will still be improved."

"As expected of an enterprise that can complete the construction of a trust scale."

Chantel blew a rainbow fart, looking while walking: "Have the workers' work clothes also been upgraded? They were dark blue before, right?"

"Yes, dark blue cotton fabric."

Li Xuewu stood with his hands behind his back and explained with a smile: "Now it's canvas fabric, mainly to be wear-resistant and sturdy, protecting the workers' physical health."

"Actually, we wanted to use polyester, which is polyester fiber. That kind of new material is more breathable and lighter, but it's too expensive."

"Hehe, polyester fiber, huh."

Chantel seemed to have heard some information, gave a light laugh, and didn't continue.

It wasn't that she looked down on the Red Star Factory, nor was it that she concluded that the mainland didn't have the conditions to produce polyester fiber, but it wasn't necessary now.

The raw materials for polyester are mainly terephthalic acid (PTA) and ethylene glycol (EG).

These raw materials generate polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through esterification reactions.

The rest is various esterification, prepolymerization reactions, etc. Talking about chemical knowledge might be very complicated, but in reality, it is still industrial production and operation.

Three years ago, the mainland's polyester fiber production was 100 tons.

However, the annual incremental production is 314%. The starting stage is a bit slower, but this material is still precious in the early stage of industrial development, but it becomes worthless the further it goes, to the point of being insanely involutionary.

Unless the Red Star Factory deepens its cultivation in the chemical field, a trust-type enterprise based on steel has no need to get involved in this industry at all.

Then why did Li Xuewu say it?

Technology, maybe it's a bait, maybe it's really wanted, or maybe it's just to test her bottom line.

Going out to look around during the day, isn't it just to test each other, so as to prepare for the negotiations that can start at any time?

"The production of Red Star Lingyang has been scaled and normalized..."

Rumble—

Just when Li Xuewu hadn't finished this sentence, the overhead crane not far ahead broke down. After a roar, the assembly line pulled the gate.

Pulling the gate isn't terrible. The few minutes when the assembly line stops can be completely chased back, as long as it isn't a long-term shutdown.

And in order to ensure the smoothness of the assembly line, the first time any equipment on this line breaks down, the fault will be investigated, but it won't be repaired.

Why? Because time doesn't allow it. It's faster to change parts directly.

Put a new part on, and take the old part down to see what's wrong slowly. There is plenty of time to repair and maintain it.

The sudden breakdown seemed to have lost face in front of foreign businessmen, but Gao Yaqin and Li Xuewu's attitudes were very calm, and they stood there watching.

And the professional maintenance team entered the field very quickly. Several big guys carried the gearbox and walked past them, clearly letting Chantel and the engineers behind her see the precision nameplate of the gearbox.

Chantel curled her lips, glanced at Li Xuewu beside her, and then glanced at Gao Yaqin on the other side, her eyes almost rolling white.

Damn, acting for the old lady, right!

This overhead crane "breakdown" is damn performing an exercise, right!

Deliberately showing off your processing precision, hinting that you already have higher-precision processing equipment?

No, brother, is it necessary to do this?

Can't you be kind when doing things?

"Cough cough—" Gao Yaqin coughed lightly, didn't care that Chantel saw the traces of this performance, and asked inadvertently: "I heard that our factory's silicon steel sheets have a market in Western Europe?"

Damn—what does it mean—

Chantel turned her head suddenly and looked at Gao Yaqin.

This woman doesn't look like a good person!
