Chapter 1287: Brain washed by love

Once the train passed Shanhai Pass, the temperature in the carriage rose immediately. A conductor asked for the passengers' opinions and helped open the windows, letting the warm spring breeze blow into the carriage.

That's right, in this era, train windows could be opened, especially when the weather was good; the wind blowing in was warm.

Li Xuewu sat in the soft sleeper carriage writing the negotiation report for the Liaodong trip. This was the inconvenience of not having a full-time secretary.

If Peng Xiaoli were still following him, these materials should be written by the secretary and modified by the leader.

However, this intensity of material didn't count for much to Li Xuewu; he just treated it as passing the boring time on the train.

"Yo, studying hard in secret?"

A tease came from the door of the compartment. Li Xuewu didn't need to look up to know who had come.

"Effort is effort, but the door is wide open. Who is studying in secret?"

He looked up with a smile and greeted: "When I passed the restroom just now, passing by your compartment, Li Xue also said you were asleep."

"I get sleepy as soon as I get on the train; my head is dizzy."

Jing Yunong sat down on the bed opposite Li Xuewu. That was where the accompanying officer lived, but he had hidden away for now.

"Looking for you to talk for a while, to avoid sleeping for too long and having my brain turn into paste."

"You have a secretary to help, but I'm busy—" The fountain pen in Li Xuewu's hand didn't stop. He wrote the words he had woven in his heart long ago. The report article was like flowing water, completed in one go.

What Jing Yunong admired most about him was this point: a natural pen-holder. Saying he had a plan in his chest wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Or should I let Li Xue help you?"

"You letting me finish writing the material is helping me." Li Xuewu said amusingly: "That's our eldest young lady at home. How dare I use her? If she messes it up for me, who can I go to for justice?"

"Humph, who wants to write for you anyway."

Li Xue, who came in carrying a thermos and holding a teacup, curled her lips and muttered: "You asked for the tiredness yourself."

"Are you two here to make trouble?"

Li Xuewu glanced at his sister and didn't bother with her, but looked at Jing Yunong and asked: "Should I make room for you two?"

"See, he's annoyed with us."

Jing Yunong twisted her face to raise her eyebrows at Li Xue, and then glanced at Li Xuewu, saying strangely: "Now, we don't manage the economy, and we don't have actual influence. We are indeed annoying."

"Aiyo! Why is it so sour!"

Li Xuewu picked up his teacup and took a sip, but it seemed like he was blocked. He looked at Li Xue and questioned: "Is this tea or vinegar?"

"Poison—Humph—"

Li Xue couldn't stand the two of them getting together and being greasy, and even less could she stand them fighting with their mouths while looking at each other in front of her.

Even if it were her, she smelled the resentful taste floating in the air. These words heard in her ears couldn't help but make her have wild thoughts.

It's a pity, there's just no evidence.

Factory leaders would make some jokes, and some jokes even sounded a bit explicit to them.

However, this was very normal in the circle of leaders. No one would make a fuss about it; they were long used to it.

"Tea brewed by my own sister, even if it's poison, I have to drink it," Li Xuewu sighed and moved his teacup, looked at Jing Yunong opposite and asked: "Have you also switched to black tea?"

"My stomach hasn't been comfortable recently, so I dare not drink green tea."

Jing Yunong looked at the scenery outside the window and said faintly: "Black tea is quite good, nourishing health and stomach."

Li Xuewu stopped the pen in his hand and cast an inquiring look at his sister, wanting to ask what happened to Deputy Director Jing?

Why is she so sentimental?

Li Xue was too lazy to bother with him, rolled her eyes, carried the thermos and went out, but the door "forgot" to close.

"Are you okay?"

Li Xuewu cautiously moved the report in his hand back. This person shouldn't suddenly come at him; he had written it for an afternoon in vain.

"Do I look like I have something wrong?" Jing Yunong glanced at him, and without waiting for his answer, asked again: "The Liaodong matter has come to an end. How will you negotiate with the Santa Ya Group and the Sanhe Stock Company next? You've really dug a big hole for yourself."

"If the cooperation with the Santa Ya Group shrinks, and if the Sanhe Stock Company doesn't take your bait, let's see how you explain it to the leaders of Liaodong Industry. You'll have plenty of small shoes to wear in the future."

"Hmm, this is really a problem."

Li Xuewu twisted the fountain pen in his hand, nodded and said: "My feet are big, so I really can't wear small shoes."

Jing Yunong heard him start talking nonsense again when he was serious, and turned her head to look out the window, too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

This was still an express train, and it took a day and a half from Steel City to Jingcheng. It stopped at every station along the way, which was very tormenting.

"Do you know why Santa Ya Group's president, Chantal, followed to Liaodong in a hurry, signed the framework agreement in a rush, and then disappeared without a trace?"

Li Xuewu picked up his teacup and took a sip, his elbows resting on the small table as he said: "Technology is never the key to negotiation; the market is, including Santa Ya Group and Sanhe Stock Company."

"For us, the technical barrier is a deadly problem that chokes our throat, but for them, it's just a way to solve problems, a bargaining chip that can be put on the negotiation table at any time."

He held the teacup in his hand, not afraid of the temperature of the tea, and said: "As long as the benefits are large enough and the market is wide enough, they don't think what you said, that I cheated and swindled."

"Can you guarantee that the domestic construction market will be open to them?" Jing Yunong turned her head to look at him and asked: "Can you guarantee that investment in the metallurgical industry will have high returns?"

"Don't tell me you have a plan for everything," she raised her eyebrows: "The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Many people are waiting for you to fail once, wishing they could step on you into that bottomless abyss."

"Then I am relatively lucky."

Li Xuewu felt Deputy Director Jing's unusual concern, smiled and said: "I haven't made a mistake even once, and I still have so many enemies waiting to watch my excitement. Don't you think I'm successful enough?"

"Then I wish you success forever."

Jing Yunong narrowed her eyes and said: "Don't fall down, otherwise it will be difficult to rise again."

"Do you believe it? Even if I fall down, no one will dare to step on me," Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows: "Because they don't know if what fell is a person or shit. If they step on it, it will be dirty."

"You are really disgusting—"

Jing Yunong glared at him in disgust, stood up, took her teacup and walked out, "Write your report."

"Still have to thank you for your concern."

Li Xuewu laughed and shouted at the door: "I'm about to finish writing. Come over to 'do' later—"

Unfortunately, the train Li Xuewu and the others were on was late. By the time they arrived in Jingcheng, it was already past the off-duty time.

Calling the office, the duty staff said the leaders had all left, and Director Li had also been discharged from the factory hospital and gone home to recuperate.

Others might believe this, but Li Xuewu didn't.

If he wanted to find Li Huai De, he definitely wouldn't find him at home. He might be at the mahjong table or in some girl's bed.

Jing Yunong wasn't in a hurry about this. After getting off the station, she took Li Xue and got into the car, telling the driver to go straight home.

Since it was like this, even if Li Xuewu wanted to report his work to the Management Committee, it wouldn't work, so he told Han Jiankun to head home.

Sitting in the passenger seat was still Nie Xiaoguang, but he hadn't seen him for more than a week, and the kid had become much more steady.

Coming out of the train station, he actually knew how to help him pick up luggage, and even helped him open the back door.

Li Xuewu looked at Han Jiankun more, and then looked at Nie Xiaoguang's face, but didn't find any injuries.

Of course, if Han Jiankun wanted to make a move, Nie Xiaoguang wouldn't be injured on his face.

"How is the driving learning going?"

Li Xuewu looked at the passenger seat and asked actively: "Can you drive on the road by yourself?"

"I've been driving for several days, but Brother Han just won't let me carry you..."

Nie Xiaoguang glanced at Han Jiankun, and cautiously took back the words behind, looking like he was very afraid of him.

Li Xuewu could see that there was a situation. He endured the smile at the corner of his mouth and didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.

Evil people have to be ground by evil people. If a young man like Nie Xiaoguang didn't have a clear person to organize him, he would cause trouble sooner or later.

"He still needs practice; he's not skilled enough yet," Han Jiankun explained rarely. Nie Xiaoguang sat on the side, although a bit unconvinced, he endured it and didn't speak.

It could be seen that he did have progress, at least he didn't touch the radio again, or open the window to look at the beauties on the street.

"It's not easy to train him to the standard of an automobile soldier," Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The burden is heavy and the road is long."

"Just him? The standard of an automobile soldier?"

Han Jiankun was always quiet, but regarding Nie Xiaoguang, he really broke his defense.

He never argued with others, and even less held grudges against others, but because he didn't want to live up to Li Xuewu's expectations, and even less wanted to let Li Xuewu down, he had to train a qualified driver with effort.

Li Xuewu trained him and took care of him, so he had to repay him. He couldn't just leave the leader alone after making progress.

Look at Peng Xiaoli, so valued by Wang Xiaoqin, but she was still dedicated and respectful to Li Xuewu.

The organization is very particular about these empty things, even Han Jiankun couldn't break the rule, so he was considered to be competing with Nie Xiaoguang.

"I learned to drive using a Liberation truck, and I was very skilled on the single-sided bridge; it wasn't difficult at all."

Nie Xiaoguang had strong self-esteem. Even though he knew Han Jiankun's driving skills were steady and reliable, he still boasted.

But Han Jiankun didn't spoil him. He glanced at him and reminded: "Don't bring out those driving skills learned in the motorcade to lose face. If you go to drive a big truck, I don't want to manage you at all."

"Rough technology is not an advantage, and even less a style. Don't listen to those drivers bragging to you. If you take them as a standard, you can only be an apprentice for the rest of your life."

"I take you as a standard—"

Nie Xiaoguang lay back on the passenger seat and said helplessly: "But you didn't show me two moves, let me open my eyes, and know your power from the bottom of my heart."

Li Xuewu's gaze lifted from the notebook in his hand, glanced at the two people in the front and passenger seats, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"What do you want to see? What do you want to see?" Han Jiankun said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you, driving a small car requires stability and accuracy. Have you seen anyone drifting a small car?"

"What is power? Is it power when the car flies and the people and goods roll into a ball in the carriage?"

He said seriously: "Driving for five or eight years without a single accident, without a single mistake, is called power."

"You treat a car like an airplane. Which leader dares to sit in your car and play with his life with you? Are you filming a movie? Looking for excitement?"

"Leader, what kind of driver is considered powerful?"

Nie Xiaoguang relapsed and talked too much again. Unable to beat the suddenly talkative Han Jiankun, he turned to ask Li Xuewu.

Seeing Han Jiankun about to get angry and punch him, he dodged to one side, only then remembering that he couldn't chat with the leader in the car.

Han Jiankun taught him this truth with a big flying kick: don't treat the leader in the back seat like the big master at the door.

You say you want to chat, so you chat; you say you want to say hello, so you say hello.

"What kind of driver is considered powerful?"

Li Xuewu raised his head and really thought about it seriously. Only then did he answer under Nie Xiaoguang's embarrassed gaze: "I think it's like sitting in an office when sitting in a car."

"Just like now, you almost can't feel the shaking of acceleration and deceleration, and there is no collision brought by emergency braking."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Xiaoguang: "Regarding how to be a good driver, I still suggest you learn more from Comrade Han Jiankun, because when he was your age, he was already engaged in the most dangerous transport work on the plateau in ice and snow."

"Master, you have this experience?"

Nie Xiaoguang's eyes brightened and he asked curiously: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Han Jiankun didn't bother with him, steadily parked the car at the entrance of the alley, tilted his head and told him: "Get off."

"Okay, see you tomorrow—"

Nie Xiaoguang looked out, only then realizing he had arrived home.

This kid was also familiar with Han Jiankun. Although he was afraid of him, he dared to be cheeky.

Pushing open the car door, he slipped out of the car, stood on the side of the road and waved, looking like a dog-legged person.

Han Jiankun really didn't like him. He turned his face, stepped on the accelerator lightly and passed the alley, not wanting to see him again.

"Haven't disciplined him much these days?" Li Xuewu sat in the back seat and laughed: "Looks like there's quite a lot of progress."

"Rotten wood is hard to carve; too jumpy."

Han Jiankun's tone was helpless: "Always looking heartless, clearly can do better, but just doesn't want to."

"Young people, always have some rebellious psychology, understandable," Li Xuewu said with a smile: "But what needs to be organized still needs to be organized. Jade is not carved, it doesn't become a tool; rotten wood needs more carving."

He didn't have the heart to spoil Nie Xiaoguang. If he was driven by an unreliable driver, he would also lose his life.

So what should be understood should be understood, and what should be tempered should be tempered. Nie Xiaoguang becoming a talent in front of him could also be considered an explanation.

Nie Chenglin's death still left scars and complaints in the hearts of some people in Red Star Factory. Old Li taking a knife could be considered a relief, but this knot still needed someone to open it.

Since Nie Xiaoguang had a fate with him, and Old Li took the initiative to support him, he simply raked the grass and hit the rabbit, earning a good reputation.

Don't look at those people secretly sympathizing with the Nie father and son and scolding Li Huai De for not acting like a human; if they really wanted to move, no one would stand out.

Li Xuewu being able to use Nie Xiaoguang as a driver meant he had the intention of care and cultivation, which could be considered ending Nie Chenglin's cause and effect.

Those people wouldn't be grateful to him, but they would also have a respect. This is like a seed that will sprout in the future.

"Can't find Zhang Jianguo?"

The Sunday sun was just right. Li Xuewu brought his daughter to the club, both to coax the child and to work.

Zuo Jie and Zhao Lao Si gathered in front of him, puffing clouds and mist in Yu Li's office, talking about recent business.

Coincidentally, Ji Yuxiu came to the club with Li Xuecai to play. Knowing he was here, both came to the office to see him.

"Can't find him; he disappeared."

Ji Yuxiu shook her head slightly and said: "The special case team is about to lose heart. This kind of rat-catching action is the most tormenting."

In the eyes of the branch bureau, people Li Kezhang Jianguo are rats, objects that everyone shouts to beat.

However, in this era, the method of locking targets based on organizational relationships and household registration relationships doesn't work for stubborn masters Li Kezhang Jianguo, because they don't have fixed residences and work units.

Staying in the East City for one night today, running to the West City tomorrow, maybe hiding in some corner to sleep during the day.

The tight hoop spell brought by the powerful department above hasn't been removed yet. Large-scale net-like investigation is not realistic; they can only rely on luck to catch people.

Ji Yuxiu was also saying that the case-solving rate of the bureau has obviously declined in the past two years. Many people are afraid of the head and tail when doing things and handling cases, and their hands and feet are tied.

Characters Li Kezhang Jianguo don't have enough level on the branch bureau's case list. Don't look at him stabbing Xie Qianjin to death with a scraper.

In this era, many people like Xie Qianjin died. Their case belongs to the opposing contradiction between stubborn masters and old soldiers.

The current focus of the branch bureau's work is still on maintaining social stability. Cases like theirs, which are highly targeted and have low social harm, have already been ranked far away.

You think about it, the case can fall into the hands of Duan Youting, and you know where the importance can be ranked in the branch bureau.

"Actually, it can be considered a good thing," Zuo Jie said while smoking: "Zhang Jianguo ran away, the stubborn masters have no leader, the old soldiers are withering day by day, and they have voluntarily exited the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are quiet."

"That's also temporary; he holds grudges," Zhao Lao Si reminded: "Stabbing him once doesn't necessarily mean he holds a grudge against you."

"But the old soldiers played him around, which is much more powerful than stabbing him once," he said firmly: "Zhang Jianguo will definitely come back for revenge. It will be lively then."

"Can he still rebel?"

Zuo Jie stood up with his eyebrows and said: "If you don't wash your hands in a golden basin and retire from the rivers and lakes early, and still think about making a comeback, then he must die in this man-eating rivers and lakes."

"The rivers and lakes you are talking about are just the loyalty and fantasy of young people," Ji Yuxiu reminded: "Under the leadership of the organization, groups like rivers and lakes are absolutely not allowed to exist."

"Didn't Zhao Weidong use this point?"

Zhao Lao Si looked at Zuo Jie with disdain and said: "Who would have thought, the old soldiers played dirty first and broke the rules."

"Just wait, Zhang Jianguo will come back, and there will be no rules. That's when the people above will have a headache."

"Why talk about him? It has nothing to do with us."

Li Xuecai glanced at his second brother who was looking at documents behind the desk and muttered: "Isn't he just a hooligan—"

"Not people from the same world," Zuo Jie looked at Ji Yuxiu and said with a smile: "You will never have an intersection."

"Old soldiers are possible, but stubborn masters will never provoke people like you," Zhao Lao Si also said with a smile: "I'm talking about identity. Stubborn masters never associate with ordinary common people."

"The river water doesn't violate the well water in the rivers and lakes."

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at the people in the room, and asked: "Where did Zhou Xiaobai go? I haven't seen her making trouble for a while, and I'm not used to it."

"Hehehe—"

Everyone laughed lightly, thinking of Zhou Xiaobai's tossing, which was the life young people should have.

"Hehehe, you asked the right person."

Zuo Jie said amusingly: "Zhou Xiaobai returned to Jinmen, and it has something to do with what we just talked about."

"Oh? She also went to join the fun?" Li Xuewu picked up his teacup and took a sip with a smile: "She likes trouble the best."

"That's not it; it's Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang," Zuo Jie raised his eyebrows and explained with a smile: "Both of them participated in the action of encircling and suppressing Zhang Jianguo. Zhong Yuemin was injured, and Zhang Haiyang helped him out. As a result, the relationship became harmonious."

"Hehehehe—"

Hearing Zuo Jie's words, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it good that the relationship became harmonious?"

Li Xuewu also asked amusingly: "Zhou Xiaobai ran to Jinmen to do what? Hiding from them?"

"That's it—" Zuo Jie said with a smile: "I don't know who gave the two of them the bad idea, but they both came to find Zhou Xiaobai, saying they would be buddies in the future, but would compete fairly."

"Hahahaha—"

After hearing this explanation, everyone laughed, laughing at the young people's strange love concepts, which actually produced friendship.

"Watched too many love movies!"

Li Xuecai said amusingly: "Still competing fairly. No wonder Zhou Xiaobai had to run away. Wouldn't this be embarrassing to death?"

"That's what it means," Zuo Jie introduced: "Both of them bought gifts for Zhou Xiaobai and really started competing."

"Last week, these two made a big joke at the club. Zhou Xiaobai didn't dare to come anymore and returned to Jinmen," Zhao Lao Si also said with a smile.

"Good heavens, two young people whose brains were washed by love forced away one of my capable generals."

Li Xuewu looked at Zuo Jie amusingly and asked: "Who is responsible for the business in Jingcheng? Is there any problem with the supply chain?"

"Rest assured, the sales network is very mature," Zuo Jie answered seriously: "Large teams like Li Yuanchao's have more than forty people, and small teams have three or four people. The combat effectiveness is very strong."

"Currently, the business expansion in Jingcheng is extremely wide, mainly docking with the Trade Management Center in Jinmen, acting as a sales agent there."

Zhou Xiaobai's ability is still okay, but the more powerful one is actually Wu Shuping. With her own strength, she remotely commanded Zhou Xiaobai, according to Li Xuewu's arrangement and intention, using the resources of the old soldiers, using the supply chain as a cover, and docking the Jingcheng market with Red Star Factory's Trade Management Center in Jinmen.

Is it a direct docking?

Of course not. First of all, the old soldiers don't have the basic conditions for public-to-public cooperation, that is, they don't have compliant units.

Without public-to-public cooperation, they can't get settlement funds.

Secondly, the old soldiers don't have the resources to dock with the Trade Management Center, and the Trade Management Center won't dock with these retail investors.

Therefore, Jinmen Shunfeng Trading became the link between the two sides.

The actual controller behind Shunfeng Trading is Wu Shuping. She goes to the Trade Management Center every day to find suitable products for distribution.

Can Shunfeng Trading get electrical appliances, seafood, and hardware directly from Red Star Factory?

Of course not. Doing so would be against the rules.

Shunfeng Trading receives distribution orders from the Trade Management Center, that is, the kind of orders with very small quantities that cannot form a scale, or certain orders that exceeded the quantity that should have been in the order during delivery.

These goods naturally cannot be thrown away; that would cause huge waste.

The only thing Shunfeng Trading can stably get goods from is through the Trade Management Center's account, directly from Jinmen Aquatic Products.

This is a dark line Li Xuewu made for Li Huai De and Director Han of the Aquatic Products Company, and it is the foundation laid for Shunfeng Trading.

Besides this, any distribution order Shunfeng Trading received from the Trade Management Center was the work Wu Shuping did.

With these orders, the old soldier sales team in Jingcheng also received the distribution list from Zhou Xiaobai's hands.

Because they don't have capital, they earn commissions, so the business is done very conveniently and efficiently.

For example, if there is a distribution list for 100 TV sets from Jinmen today, whoever can eat it, this order is theirs.

Small teams generally can't eat that much. The list comes down, and the goods have to be moved on the same day, and the money has to be received.

Large teams naturally have resources in this regard. They have already contacted customers in advance. When there are goods, team members immediately ride bicycles to ask door-to-door, and once confirmed, they collect money and pick up goods.

Small teams are at a disadvantage in the competition and can only fight for orders, or several small teams grab large orders together.

Small teams have been working together for a long time and have become large teams, earning commissions, earning fees—money really blinds people.

Therefore, the sales network built by Zhou Xiaobai in Jingcheng is a pyramid structure where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp.

Jinmen Shunfeng Trading receives orders from the Trade Management Center without having to form its own sales team.

Using this loose and relatively competitive pyramid structure, almost all goods, according to value, sales difficulty, etc., can be matched to suitable sales teams on the same day, completing distribution business on the same day.

Small orders can be realized through unit combination ordering, and large orders can be completed only by the trade union issuing a certificate.

Where do the commissions or fees of the sales network come from?

Naturally, it is paid by Shunfeng Trading. Small teams can take away commissions on the same day, and large teams choose weekly or monthly settlements.

No need to see Zhou Xiaobai in person; money will be remitted to their personal accounts through the Red Star United Savings Bank.

Although this set of processes is not very complicated, it won't work if any link is missing. The important thing is that it is very safe.

From the beginning of the year to now, the competitiveness of small teams has become worse and worse, and there are more and more situations of huddling together for warmth.

Sales teams like Li Yuanchao's, standing at the top of the pyramid, are also facing competitive pressure under the pyramid.

And with fewer small teams, Zhou Xiaobai's tasks are also fewer, and even distribution lists are contacted by phone.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden in Jinmen because of the fun made by Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin.

She is a dignified general manager of a trading company, and she was actually fought over by two lackeys. Do you think I'm that worthless?

"Aiya, who is this, so beautiful—"

As soon as Li Shu returned to the courtyard, she became the most dazzling star, especially since she returned with her father.

Li Xuewu became a factory leader. Which worker in the Red Star Factory living in this courtyard wouldn't want to curry favor with him?

They are all neighbors in the same courtyard. It's a bit embarrassing to curry favor with Li Xuewu directly, so praising the child became a better choice.

So since the beginning of spring this year, Li Shu found that she "suddenly" became beautiful, smart... became a stranger to herself. Is everyone talking about me?

Fortunately, she is still young and doesn't quite understand this kind of human sophistication; otherwise, she would have floated long ago.

Now facing the neighbors' praise, she just giggled. Very happy, but she wouldn't take it to heart.

Li Xuewu saw the clues and hidden dangers here, so he was also very distressed. Can we still come back to this courtyard in the future?

Isn't it said that workers and leaders in this era sit on an equal footing and don't flatter or curry favor?

If you are serious, you can only say that these are records with words, but are the records with words true?

As long as workers need progress and the allocation of welfare resources, they cannot avoid dealing with people who manage resource allocation.

Not to mention leaders, just a cook like Seeing Sha Zhu—which worker dares to offend him? That spoonful he gives you is not much or little, but it just tastes wrong in the mouth.

Li Xuewu's worry is not unreasonable. If Li Shu listens to too much flattery, her self-confidence will be there, but if she encounters setbacks, she really won't have any room for self-adjustment.

Falling from a low-lying area won't hurt much, but falling from high altitude really hurts to the bone.

Therefore, he should first be a father, and only then should he be a factory leader. In this courtyard, he has explained and emphasized it many times, but it is almost useless.

Especially after he became the secretary-general, even the First Master didn't dare to call him Xuewu directly.

How do people call him?

Not calling him Secretary-General, and not being able to call him Leader, but quietly calling him "You". The distance is far.

Li Xuewu feels strange and uncomfortable every time he comes back, so for the past two months, he just sends Li Shu over, and Gu Ning doesn't come back anymore.

The eldest sister-in-law's work is intermittent, the school's situation is repeated, and the eldest brother has completely given up and hid in the first supervision office to gnaw on more complex physics knowledge.

Li Xuewu doesn't know what the eldest brother is studying. Maybe he wants to peek at the mysteries of the universe, holding a telescope to look at the stars?

"When did you come back? Didn't you say you were on a business trip?"

Seeing Sha Zhu came out of the courtyard in cloth shoes and was stunned when he saw Li Xuewu, then greeted him with a smile.

Li Xuewu put Li Shu in the courtyard and watched her playing happily with the children in the courtyard.

"Arrived home last night. Didn't you go out?"

"Where to? I am now a housewife," Seeing Sha Zhu smiled and pointed to He Zhuang walking clumsily in the courtyard, saying: "Looking after the child, coaxing the child, feeding the child, and having to cook three meals."

"Then you are really happy."

Li Xuewu said amusingly: "It would be even better if you didn't have to go to work, right?"

"I love hearing you say that."

Seeing Sha Zhu squatted beside Li Xuewu, smiled and looked at his son playing in the courtyard, saying: "If I didn't have to go to work, I could play with him every day."

"I haven't seen a father like this," First Master's wife said with a smile, saying: "Still not spoiling the child."

"My father didn't care about me when I was little, didn't I live well?" Seeing Sha Zhu curled his lips and said with a smile: "I don't care how others raise their sons; anyway, I won't hit my son."

"Look, this is really a biological father."

Hou Qinghua glanced at Seeing Sha Zhu and said: "Can't bear to move a finger, raising him like a treasure."

"Whose child isn't a treasure?"

Seeing Sha Zhu raised his head and pointed to Yan Fang, who was squatting on the ground picking up small stones to play, and asked: "Did Yan Jiefang and his wife go out?"

"What Yan Jiefang and his wife, Jiekuang and Jiedi also went to help," First Master's wife introduced: "I heard the freight station is very busy."

"Really going to make money—"

Seeing Sha Zhu said enviously, looked at Li Xuewu beside him and asked: "Do you think it's appropriate for me to buy a tricycle now?"

"You ask me? How would I know."

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "Hesitating, either don't think about it, or don't ask. You really became a housewife?"

"Hahahaha—"

The laughter of the women in the courtyard didn't have a bit of restraint or reserve, and Seeing Sha Zhu followed with a helpless smile.

"More than a thousand, heart aches just thinking about it."

"Then don't buy it, keep the money to have babies."

Li Xuewu looked at the children in the courtyard and asked Third Master's wife: "Did Yan Jiefang's tricycle make money?"

"Make what money, tired to death—"

Hou Qinghua was very cautious, insisting that Yan Jiefang's tricycle didn't make money, and if asked, it was hard-earned money.

Seeing Sha Zhu looked at Li Xuewu and winked: "Third Master's wife is so calculating. People are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being strong. This is keeping a hand."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense—"

Hou Qinghua knew Seeing Sha Zhu's big mouth and warned seriously: "What time is this now? What Jiefang and the others earn is hard-earned money. If you say so, we become capitalists."

"Forget it, there are plenty of people riding tricycles on the street, and they all became capitalists?"

Seeing Sha Zhu said nonchalantly: "Besides, who wants to talk about your family's affairs? The more money you earn, the better, and the better life is."

Money moves people's hearts. Hearing that Yan Jiefang bought a tricycle, brothers and sisters went into battle together, running the work of the Jingcheng freight station all day long. If it was the weekend, the whole family wouldn't rest. This isn't earning money; this is earning life.

If it really didn't make money, who would be willing not to rest on the weekend and go to the freight station to eat hard work.

There are quite a few neighbors in this courtyard. Watching Seeing Sha Zhu and Hou Qinghua teasing, everyone's eyes are turning.

A light cargo tricycle costs more than a thousand yuan, which is an astronomical figure for many families.

But it can't be helped that some families can afford it, and it doesn't even empty the old capital.

If there are many children in the family and they can't be assigned work, they can't always eat the old capital at home, right? Sitting and eating the mountain empty.

Those who are active in their minds are already asking how to buy a tricycle, how to run the goods at the Jingcheng freight station, and how to collect money.

Hou Qinghua tucks her tail and doesn't tell the truth, for only one reason: it makes money, and she is afraid that too many people will earn this money.

But the more she covers up, the more she can arouse everyone's curiosity, and everyone is more convinced in their hearts that running goods with a tricycle really makes money.

Li Xuewu has been squatting at the door of his house, watching Li Shu playing with the children, without interrupting, as if he didn't care, but in fact, he cares very much, and has even been thinking about work matters.

Tricycles can not only drive the freight economy, but everything surrounding tricycle transportation is within the economic scope.

The rapid development of Zhou Xiaobai's business in Jingcheng is also related to this kind of tricycle sold by Red Star Factory.

For those large goods, it's not convenient for trucks to deliver, so this kind of small tricycle has to deliver, which is convenient and practical.

It's a bit early to talk about express delivery, but it might be close to talk about distribution, which can be considered the early development sprout of logistics.

Tricycles are Red Star Factory's products, the freight station is Red Star Factory's cooperative enterprise, and most of the goods distributed in the freight station are the business of the Trade Management Center.

That is to say, the tricycle economy is actually Red Star Factory's economy. How to guide the situation and promote the development of this economy is also a practical work problem Li Xuewu needs to consider.

On Monday, as soon as Li Xuewu went to work, he told Wang Lu to arrange for the United Savings Bank to prepare, and he was going down to investigate.

After telling Wang Lu, he went to Li Huai De's office to report the negotiation process and results of the Steel City trip.

In the process of his report, Jing Yunong also entered the office. She was also a member of the negotiation team.

The two discussed and explained the cooperation projects and agreements separately. Although Li Huai De didn't understand the specific details, he generally understood.

Actually, it's just that the foundation of Liaodong Industry is laid, and it only remains to get investment and technology.

Need to continue talking with Santa Ya Group, talk with Sanhe Stock Company, and talk with Zhongrun and Wufengxing.

But before that, Red Star Factory needs to form an Energy and Mineral General Company, integrate the thermal energy, electricity, engineering, and other resources currently owned by Red Star Factory, and then, in the form of building professional factories, investigate and build factories in areas in Liaodong that have already signed cooperation framework agreements.

That is to say, whether it's pulling investment or wanting technology, there must first be a main body for cooperation. This main body cannot be Red Star Factory.

Because Red Star Factory wants to form a steel group, it doesn't accept a joint-stock system, and it won't change its current business nature.

After the Energy and Mineral Company is formed, with a main body for cooperation, there will be a foundation for joint-stock cooperation.

Technology shares, management shares, capital shares—various share capitals are superimposed. The plate Red Star Factory is playing this time is very complicated.

Why?

Because mineral development has been a complex project since ancient times. If the plate is not big enough, it is easy to be eaten by others.

Li Xuewu reported to Li Huai De, contacting the Jingcheng Chemical Plant, contacting united units related to mineral resource development, with the purpose of diluting Santa Ya Group's technical monopoly and influence on the newly built Energy and Mineral Company.

It doesn't matter if there is more capital. Anyway, Red Star Factory didn't invest much money, but making money is certain.

Management, equipment, resources, etc., the important thing is the establishment of the new joint-stock company, which can also settle many Red Star Factory employees.

Doing work, what is solved is the problem of people. After all, work is done by people.
