Chapter 1393: If it isn't old, what is it?

"Not to mention whether the power is enough, even if you pull it over, people have to know how to use it."

Xu Si Nian smiled and shook his head, looking at the frozen sea surface and saying: "It's better to be low-key; there are so many eyes watching around. If you turn kitchen hardware into building-demolition weapons, then don't even think about exporting these gas cylinders."

"If it's really as the newspaper says, a disaster every ten years, then our Yingcheng Port area should also be prepared early."

Using gas cylinder cannons to open ice is naturally Li Xuewu's whimsical idea, but it is also him joking with Xu Si Nian; this thing is impossible to explode in the interior, otherwise...

However, he was quite vigilant about this natural disaster, especially since Yingcheng Port was under construction.

You say he is a post-event gunner; weren't there arguments when Yingcheng Port was built before?

There were arguments, of course there were relevant surveys and research, including hydrology and climate, but this is not absolute.

What the newspaper said about a disaster every ten years is not accurate; it is a judgment based on the approximate time statistics of ice disasters in history. Maybe the timeline was stretched for three hundred years, totaling thirty large and small ice disasters, and the result was once every ten years.

This thing really doesn't have a standard; anyway, Li Xuewu didn't hear such news about Bohaiwan in later generations.

However, he is a novice in shipping and port management, and it is also possible that his knowledge is narrow, and he doesn't know if there has been such a serious situation later.

According to the technological development ability of later generations, even if such an ice disaster situation occurs, there are enough icebreakers to ensure the normal operation of the port.

However, speaking of icebreakers, this thing really appeared in Li Xuewu's attention range for the first time.

It is not that he wants to think of one thing after another, and only thinks of letting the Yingcheng Shipyard research, design, and produce icebreakers when he needs to use them, but he thinks of fishing boats.

"Cargo ships can't go out, so fishing boats can't even think about going out, right?" Li Xuewu turned to look at Xu Si Nian, as well as the persons in charge of the shipyard and Yingcheng Port construction department behind him, and asked: "How were they handled in previous years?"

"Previous years? There wasn't such a serious situation in previous years."

Xu Si Nian smiled bitterly, looked at him and said: "You think Bohaiwan is a bathhouse, freezing as soon as you say it."

"It is indeed not that serious."

Song Heping, Deputy Director of the Yingcheng Shipping Management Committee, smiled and added: "The size of the fishing boats produced by our factory is too small and cannot withstand such natural disasters."

"So don't even think about it; there is no chance to go out in this kind of climate."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "This Bohaiwan is not a bathhouse; it is a source of seafood for coastal residents. Have you ever thought about making a name for yourself in the field of fishing boats?"

He pointed his finger at Zhu Chaoying, who was following at the end, the Deputy Chief Designer of Yingcheng Shipping; she was one of the ten golden flowers selected by the Group last year.

Looking at her name, you can see how powerful this comrade is; she was born with an arduous mission.

Of course, this is just a joke, but Zhu Chaoying being able to serve as the Deputy Chief Designer of Yingcheng Shipping also fully proves her design level and work ability.

Li Xuewu being able to point to her is also out of trust in her ability, and also full of interest in ship design and experiments in extreme environments.

If Yingcheng Shipping can overcome the survival ability of fishing boats in extreme environments, then its competitiveness in the domestic fishing vessel market will be further improved.

Similarly, if fishing boats can achieve this goal, then we can study cargo ships and...

International shipping will be a large market in the future, and countries around the world are paying more and more attention to their territorial waters. The concept of a global village will eventually be put forward; how fierce will the competition in the shipbuilding industry around the world be?

Yingcheng Shipping wants to develop continuously, stand firm in the country, in the world, at least in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, so it has to be prepared for a rainy day.

This kind of planning is shackled by the development of the era and influenced by cognition and vision; Xu Si Nian and others may not be able to see it, and may not be able to calculate so much, but Li Xuewu must think of it.

He is the person in charge of the Group's industry in Liaodong, and he is responsible for the course of this big ship.

Sometimes leaders don't need to give instructions or guide hand-in-hand to arrange work; they only need to grasp the outline and pull the thread, and the people below know what to do.

Just like Li Xuewu's new idea of developing in the field of fishing boat manufacturing at this time, whether it is Deputy Chief Engineer Zhu Chaoying or Song Heping, who is in charge of industrial manufacturing, they have all started deep thinking like Xu Si Nian.

And Li Xuewu, who proposed the future development idea and caused the change in thinking, did not think further, because he didn't understand shipbuilding and didn't understand port operations, and thinking too much was useless.

Leave professional things to professional people; if he says something wrong, the people below can completely deny him and refute him; if he says something right, then they must do as he says.

"I have been in the Steel City Industrial Zone for nearly twenty days." Li Xuewu walked back with his hands in his overcoat pockets, and a group of people followed behind him, listening to his words.

The wind on the pier construction site is really strong; if you don't listen carefully, perhaps only Xu Si Nian and a few others can hear it.

When the leader comes down for research, where will he say nonsense? Especially a practical person like Li Xuewu, every word is a pearl.

"You should have heard some rumors, right?"

Li Xuewu turned his head, swept a playful look at several people, and said: "Right, Director Xu."

"Heh, no one called me."

Xu Si Nian's answer was always to look left and right, and at this moment, facing Li Xuewu's question, he just responded with a smile: "You give us more valuable opinions, we will definitely accept them humbly, actively rectify, and will never let you down."

"It's useless to block me with words; I don't eat this set, you should know my temper."

Li Xuewu smiled easily, raised his hand and patted Xu Si Nian's arm, and continued to walk forward. He walked and said: "I have been visiting and researching for twenty days. I won't say how many problems I found, but this energy for doing work, I always feel that something is wrong."

"Director Xu, you have been in Yingcheng for four years, and in the Liaodong Industrial Zone for four years; you help me think."

He turned his head to look at Xu Si Nian again and said: "Exactly where is it wrong? How can I not think of it."

"Hey—the Secretary-General has a high level and high ability, so the requirements are naturally high—"

Xu Si Nian clapped his hands, smiled and said: "I don't care about others, anyway, I firmly obey the Group's orders and leaders, and follow the organization wholeheartedly."

"Hey—" Li Xuewu also learned his tone, raised his hand and pointed at him, saying: "You Director Xu haven't made much progress in other aspects since arriving in Yingcheng, but this ability to talk nonsense is really impressive—"

"Hahahaha—"

How Li Xuewu performed during his research in the Steel City Industrial Zone had long spread throughout the entire Group, let alone Yingcheng.

Xu Si Nian did not show excessive worry and nervousness; Li Xuewu had long blown the wind to them.

That meal of wine was not drunk in vain; whether it was courtesy first and soldiers later, or preemptive strikes, it was all open and honest.

At least until now, Li Xuewu has not shown excessive desire to interfere with the industrial enterprises of the Group in Liaodong.

Don't talk about pacifying the inside before resisting the outside; those little characters in the Metallurgical Plant are not enough for Li Xuewu to clean up.

Since Li Xuewu didn't intend to clean them up from the beginning, he wouldn't come to find their post-account.

Whatever happened before, it's not discussed; Li Xuewu going to the factory for research is work.

Discussing things as they are, the problems and requirements he raised only target their work and business, and nothing else.

From this point, Xu Si Nian admires him very much in his heart, and also recognizes his way of doing things.

Unified the work ideas of the heads of various industrial enterprises at a high level in thought, and eliminated their defensive psychology.

As long as the words are made clear, they won't think crookedly, and it will be much more convenient for Li Xuewu to talk about work.

Just like now, Li Xuewu came to Yingcheng Shipping for research, looked at the shipbuilding dock, looked at the processing workshop, looked at the workers' dormitory, and other areas; problems were all mentioned at the time.

The main team members of Yingcheng Shipping accompanied him for a whole day, and held a symposium in the evening.

At the symposium, Li Xuewu first conveyed the Group's New Year greetings to the cadres of Yingcheng Shipping, and then publicized the Group's recent ideological work requirements to them.

After this necessary routine was completed, he raised questions and opinions regarding Yingcheng Shipping and port area construction.

His questions, some were prepared long ago, some were discovered on the spot, involving all aspects.

Of course, he just asked more and said less, and the atmosphere at the symposium was always very warm.

He hasn't come to Yingcheng few times, and the cadres of Yingcheng Shipping and the port area are not strangers to him.

The ideas and requirements for his work in Liaodong are what everyone is more concerned about, and also the topic that everyone is most concerned about after the New Year.

Li Xuewu is not pretending to be deep, closing the door to make a car for his work ideas, but doesn't know where to start.

He also emphasized his hope for Yingcheng Shipping and the port area to the cadres present, and explained that he wanted to complete the research work as soon as possible and summarize a work idea report.

This rigor and frankness did not make people disgusted, but instead made everyone present re-recognize this Secretary-General.

Following the rules in work, focusing on procedures, and being warm and broad-minded in treating people and valuing reputation, he is a rare good leader.

How did this evaluation of a good leader come about? I am afraid it has something to do with the dumplings in the stomach that haven't had time to digest.

Eating people's mouth is short—

At the end of the symposium, Li Xuewu specially emphasized one point based on everyone's speeches and his own understanding.

This point is also the consistent work thought of the Group, insisting on promoting the scientific development concept and seeking truth from facts.

In his speech, he specially mentioned the "scientific development is the core driving force of enterprise progress" emphasized by Group Management Committee Director Li Huai De in the New Year's greeting of the Red Star United Radio Station.

What is scientific development? The cadres at the symposium had long studied it and had long practiced it in their work.

Li Huai De played the old tune again, and Li Xuewu emphasized it, which shows the Group's attention and hope for technical reform, industrial reform, and personnel reform in the Group's future development work.

Li Xuewu is not patting Li Huai De's horse, he is talking about dry goods. Although Li Huai De's speech draft was not written by him, the Group's ideological work core document was written by him.

His emphasis on the scientific development concept and the work idea of seeking truth from facts at the Yingcheng Shipping and Port Area Cadre Symposium has a purpose, and it also reveals his work ideas from the side.

Although the New Year has passed, Li Xuewu has been in Liaodong for a short time, so it is not easy to say in this kind of occasion that the cadres of the Group's industrial enterprises in Liaodong are arrogant after having some achievements.

This is not good, a bit arbitrary, and will also hurt the comrades' revolutionary enthusiasm and work enthusiasm.

This is also Li Xuewu seeing that the enterprise had impetuous thoughts and exaggerated work during the research process, so he used a joking tone to give Xu Si Nian a reminder.

He asked Xu Si Nian on the pier that the workers' energy for work was a bit wrong; the purpose was here.

Would he not know where it was wrong?

He could see it, could Xu Si Nian not see it?

If Xu Si Nian could see it, could the team members of Yingcheng Shipping and the port area not see it?

Is it that they can't see it, or they saw it but are unwilling to admit it, unwilling to destroy this hypocritical and false work atmosphere.

Li Xuewu had long reminded him that he doesn't rub sand in his eyes in work and business.

He didn't care how Dong Wenxue managed Liaodong industry before, and couldn't manage it, but now he is sitting in this position.

He can be gentle to these persons in charge, but he has no intention of being gentle to these cadres below.

Of course, he will not take the initiative to intervene in the management of various industrial enterprises, but if the problems cannot be solved and the arrogant thinking cannot be reversed, then don't blame him for being hard.

This is forcing Xu Si Nian and others to open the knife internally, scrape the bone to cure the poison; he can't wait for him to do it himself.

So Xu Si Nian didn't dare to have any fluke in the afternoon research, although he used a joke to cover up his words.

Li Xuewu left him face and a few margins, only emphasizing the Group's work from the side.

Face is given to him; how to do it and to what extent depends entirely on his self-consciousness.

Xu Si Nian and others can completely understand it this way: how much they can complete Li Xuewu's requirements, they can get how much support from him, which is support on the Group Management Committee.

Next year is the last year for the Red Star Plant to formally realize the group system, and it is also the summary year of the three-year plan. By then, the Group management layer must formally determine the rank structure, which is also an important opportunity for them to readjust.

As the main person in charge of Liaodong industry, Li Xuewu's evaluation of everyone's work is also crucial.

Whether this step can be taken is the most critical step for their future development.

Once this step is taken, the future is bright, the ceiling from the division level to the deputy bureau level is opened, and they regain hope.

If this step cannot be taken, they will probably wait to return to Beijing or retire to the second line after another term; the Group will not give them another chance, and the new generation will replace the old.

Two years ago, Li Huai De might have missed old feelings, and the cadres of the original Red Star Plant were all arranged in key positions.

Two years later, Li Huai De's influence in personnel work has been weakened, plus the cadres sent down by the Ministry to mix sand, the Group management layer has long changed.

Even if Director Li wants to support them, he is powerless, and can only rely on their own efforts.

Besides, Director Li can survive next year, and can at most serve two more terms as the head of the Group.

Who can guarantee that the organizational ecology pattern of the Group will not change in seven years, and Director Li's mind will not change?

Seven years later, the cadres merged from seventeen enterprises have also worked in the Group for ten years; where is there any closeness or distance? They are all cadres of the Group.

So the longer the time, the weaker the halo of their cadres as the Red Star Plant, and it may even become a burden.

Li Xuewu has an absolute age advantage in the competition for successors, and also has an advantage in work ability.

It can be foreseen that the future of the Red Star Iron and Steel Group is still on Li Xuewu, and even Director Li feels so, so how can they violate Li Xuewu's will.

This is another conspiracy of Li Xuewu, which both harvested the support of Liaodong cadres and gave them hope.

You want to ask why they do work and career; they can shout to serve the people and dedicate their youth to the development of the Red Star Iron and Steel Group, but what about the reality?

Under the current environment, Li Xuewu cannot set a precedent to give them material rewards, so he must emphasize spiritual stimulation.

Honor, rank, and treatment are the core driving forces that Group cadres pursue persistently.

At the current stage, they are thinking about what Li Xuewu wants, and Li Xuewu is also thinking about what they want.

Both sides will eventually compromise at a balance point, just like Xu Si Nian now.

The symposium was held until 9:30 in the evening, and Xu Si Nian accompanied Li Xuewu to talk in the guest house until 11 o'clock.

"Beijing, Tianjin, Yingcheng, and even Steel City are definitely not just the relationship between the head, the butt, and the hand."

Li Xuewu fanned the smoke drifting in front of him, frowned slightly and emphasized: "Don't think about the Yingcheng Port area for the time being, just grasp the work in your hands first."

Xu Si Nian's brows also frowned, listening to Li Xuewu for a while, and then asked: "Is this Director Li's meaning?"

"How do you want me to answer you?"

Li Xuewu glared at him and said: "Are you participating in work for the first time or what?"

Xu Si Nian's bitter face wrinkled together, like Yang Bailao wanting to sell his daughter.

"You want to talk to me about merit and hard work?" Li Xuewu saw that he didn't speak, and snorted coldly: "The world turns without anyone; do you believe this sentence of mine?"

"I believe, of course I believe." Xu Si Nian felt uncomfortable, and his mouth was a bit rushed, "Without me, Xu Si Nian, this Yingcheng Shipping is still the Group's Yingcheng Shipping."

"Since you have this understanding, then I don't need to emphasize organizational discipline to you." Li Xuewu glanced at him and said indifferently: "Understand it and execute it; don't understand it and execute it."

"Don't tell me about your grand goals and great ideals. In the second half of the year, the Group will set up a business operation and management platform in Tianjin, connect with the Hong Kong Andrew Buyer Club, and further promote foreign trade development work."

Li Xuewu pointed at him and reminded: "By then, whether it is shipping or fishery development, it will be the focus of trade work. Do you have psychological preparation for this?"

"Let me be more straightforward." He pointed to the ship model on the wall of the guest room and asked: "Do you use these honors to show off and negotiate with foreigners?"

"The facts are like this, how do you want me to talk?" Xu Si Nian complained: "Can it be changed out of nothing?"

"Are you talking to me?"

Li Xuewu glared and asked: "Do you want me to teach you how to do things?"

Xu Si Nian saw that he was serious and extinguished the fire, smoking one after another without speaking.

Li Xuewu glanced at him, and then said: "When I need you, you are not good again; if I really hand over the port area to you, what results can you produce?"

"Blowing cowhide on the credit book?"

"Don't speak too ugly—" Xu Si Nian also glared and said: "This Yingcheng Shipping can have today; I can't say merit, but I can say hard work, right? Shouldn't I say it?"

"Can you, do you want to settle the account with me?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, sat up straight and said: "Do you want me to take you to the Group to talk about hard work and calculate your merit as Director Xu all these years?"

"You talk to me about merit and hard work; are you worthy?" He also said with fire, pointing his finger at the sofa armrest and said: "Who advocated the acquisition of Yingcheng Shipping, and who did the industrialization and market layout? It's me."

"Who planned the Yingcheng Port area, and who did the foreign trade work extension for the Steel City Industrial Park and the entire Liaodong industrial layout? It's still me."

Li Xuewu stretched out his finger and pointed at Xu Si Nian, narrowed his eyes and emphasized: "It's you, Director Xu, who came to Yingcheng and sat firmly in the position of Yingcheng Shipyard; who is helping you?"

"I let you settle your heart and put your mind on the Yingcheng Shipyard; what's wrong with that? Did I treat you badly, or chill your heart?"

He glared and asked: "Do you want me to recommend you to serve as Deputy Secretary-General in Beijing? Merit planning—"

"Forget it, I have no blessing to enjoy."

Xu Si Nian was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to soften, and he also knew that this was not Li Xuewu's meaning.

The relationship with Li Huai De has always been lukewarm and unable to break the ice. It's not that he is arrogant, but Li Huai De doesn't bother with him at all, and he doesn't know what the reason is.

You want to say that Li Xuewu's set, he can also play; isn't it a vote, isn't it harmony with the light?

Old Li looks at him like guarding against a thief; these years, if it weren't for Li Xuewu taking care of him in the Group, Old Li would have started against him long ago.

This also made his work in Yingcheng passive and drilled into a dead end.

The more he can't get Li Huai De's trust and support, the more he needs Li Xuewu's care and works hard to make achievements.

But the more he relies on Li Xuewu's care and actively performs, the less he gets Li Huai De's recognition.

This damn thing has entered a dead cycle; it seems there is only one way to go, and that is to follow Li Xuewu.

He also can't say whether this is Li Xuewu's calculation, but Li Xuewu is indeed sincere and frank enough to him.

How to say it, he is a bitch who wants to set up a memorial archway; he feels a bit excessive and shameless himself.

Everyone wants to take the fat meat of the Yingcheng Port area, and he is also delusional; the near water tower gets the moon first.

But the case involving the vice president of the Santa Ya Group some time ago is enough to show how big the future of the port area is.

"You, you are just owing to be beaten—"

Li Xuewu saw his attitude soften, pursed his mouth and glared at him and said: "If you don't suffer, you don't know that loss is hard to eat."

"This damn thing is playing for nothing again?"

Xu Si Nian was still a bit unwilling, looked at him and asked: "Can't I make more contributions to the Group and do more work?"

"The starting point is good, I can understand the mood, but there is no need to put dedication on the mouth; it is too hypocritical."

Li Xuewu pierced his ghost thoughts in one needle, picked up the teacup and said indifferently: "The port area will take at least three years to be built and operated; you can afford to wait."

"I wait for a fart—" Xu Si Nian pursed his mouth and looked to the side, resentfully: "He only gave you three years, and can give me three more?"

"Even you can't trust, let alone me; I count as a fart—"

"Tsk—" Li Xuewu looked at him with a bit of dissatisfaction, frowned and said: "You are also a head now, how can you say fart, fart, vulgar."

"Don't talk about me either; we are called crows standing on the coal pile, don't just look at others being black." Xu Si Nian glared at him, and seeing Li Xuewu's playful eyes, he said awkwardly: "I haven't seen you scolding people, so let's not pretend to be hypocritical."

"Hypocrisy is not pretended; being a grandson is pretended."

Li Xuewu put down the teacup and looked at him, saying: "This person, when it's time to be a grandson, still has to be one."

"Am I not grandson enough now?"

Xu Si Nian glared, saw Li Xuewu's playful eyes, and said awkwardly: "I'm almost a grandson, and now it's good, I'm a grandson again."

"Under the eaves, you have to bow your head—"

Li Xuewu stood up holding the sofa armrest, stood by the window of the guest house with the teacup, looked at the night outside and said: "I can only give you two years at most."

He pointed to the direction of the port outside the window and said: "The foreign trade pattern in Tianjin is changing with each passing day, and the economic development pattern of the entire Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia is also changing."

"The Group attaches more and more importance to export trade work, and it will eventually become a trend. Shipping must develop; if shipbuilding can't keep up with the situation, you will be the first to be adjusted."

Speaking of this, Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Xu Si Nian and said: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance, didn't help you talk about feelings; this is a matter of principle. The Group and Director Li might be able to give you three years of time and patience, but I can't."

"I know, you are fiercer than them."

Xu Si Nian pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said: "If you weren't fierce, you wouldn't be able to stand firm in Liaodong, let alone thinking about climbing the ladder back to Beijing."

"I won't make it difficult for you, and you also know what I want." Li Xuewu looked at the night and said frankly: "I don't need to draw a big cake for you now."

"What you want, what I can give, definitely won't be bad for you."

"I believe you." Xu Si Nian stood up and said helplessly: "I can only believe you now."

The night is not a disguise for conspiracy, but the sparks splashed when the winner breaks the chain; wait for the prairie fire, and it will be the birthmark of the new world.

Li Xuewu ended the research work in Yingcheng and rushed to Fengcheng to continue the scheduled itinerary.

In Fengcheng, he visited the Machinery Manufacturing Plant and also visited the CNC Machine Tool Research Institute.

The person in charge of the Machinery Manufacturing Plant is Xiao Zihong. After Jing Yunong completed the acquisition and transformation of Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Plant, he handed over the split Machinery Manufacturing Plant to him.

Although the CNC Machine Tool Research Institute is based on the technical research and development department of Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Plant, it does not belong to the management of Fengcheng Machinery Plant now.

As early as when splitting Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Plant, Jing Yunong received Li Xuewu's news and organized and protected the relatively advanced CNC machine tool research power in the factory.

In order not to be affected by the university study activities, this research institution was specially hung under the Group's Academy of Science and Technology and is a branch of the Academy.

Li Xuewu came here to see the heavy weapons of the Red Star Iron and Steel Group, which are the two CNC machining centers that the Sanhe Corporation secretly transported in regardless of the world's condemnation.

It can be said that the Fengcheng Machinery Manufacturing Plant of the Red Star Iron and Steel Group was able to overcome the CNC machine tool design and manufacturing problems in such a short time, thanks to these two CNC machining centers.

Similarly, the batch of college students who went to Japan to study, as well as the relevant technology that came with the CNC machining center, have become the new direction for the development of the Fengcheng Machinery Manufacturing Plant.

To say that he could learn aircraft manufacturing principles from Shangguan Qi, and he also mastered some basic mechanical manufacturing, but in front of CNC machine tools, especially more complex CNC machining centers, Li Xuewu is a blind man.

He naturally knows the processing principle of this thing, what X-axis and Y-axis, etc., but if you want to go deeper, he doesn't understand, let alone what processing accuracy is.

However, he can proceed from reality and judge the technology and research and development capabilities currently mastered by the Fengcheng Machinery Manufacturing Plant.

Xiao Zihong does not have his style and style in management; it is derived from the methods learned during his work in the Security Department. He is also the first batch of cadres to come into contact with the office system reform, so his management level has improved.

The management problems Li Xuewu saw in other factory areas are rarely seen here. Talking to Xiao Zihong about industrial development and management, listening to his reports also has independent thinking.

It can be seen that Xiao Zihong has some ideas and goals for the future development of the Fengcheng Machinery Plant.

Li Xuewu will not narrowly align all people's work ideas and frequencies with him.

He is very hopeful that Xiao Zihong can plan the future of the Fengcheng Machinery Plant well. If there is anything inappropriate, he only needs to make adjustments after he makes a move.

When a leader, who dislikes less work and dislikes many capable people under his hand.

He stayed in Fengcheng for one night and had a meal with Hu Ke from the Liaodong Industrial Management Bureau who heard the news.

This meal doesn't count in Hu Ke's words, because Liaodong Deputy Director Lu Qiming also wants to see him, but there is no time tonight, and he is afraid that he will be in a hurry and inconvenient.

Hu Ke brought him Lu Qiming's greetings and blessings, knowing that he was going to return to Beijing tomorrow, and also asked Hu Ke to bring him some local specialties of Fengcheng.

At Lu Qiming's position, he can't avoid human feelings, especially for Li Xuewu's identity.

Regarding the grand plan of Liaodong industrial development, a little local specialty doesn't cost much money, but it is a heart.

Li Xuewu naturally couldn't refuse, and on the fourth day of the New Year, he finished the symposium with the cadres of the Machinery Plant and was sent to the train back to Beijing by them.

Including the local specialties sent by Hu Ke, and some sent to him by Xiao Zihong, they were all on the luggage rack.

He is naturally not returning to Beijing alone; Secretary Zhang Enyuan accompanied him, and the two used their work permits to ask the railway for a soft sleeper, which was just right to form a report on the recent research.

Zhang Enyuan knew that the Secretary-General's writing skills were very solid, so he didn't dare to show off in front of an expert and make a fool of himself, but he also worked very hard to do auxiliary work.

This train belongs to the Fengcheng Bureau and has no cooperative relationship with the Red Star Iron and Steel Group, so Li Xuewu's work permit is only division level, so it did not attract the attention of the train conductor.

If it were a train of the Beijing Bureau, tea would not be mentioned, fruit plates and pastries would definitely be there, and the train conductor would also come to visit, pick up at the station, send off at the station, and the service would definitely be in

He stayed in Fengcheng for one night and had a meal with Hu Ke from the Liaodong Industrial Management Bureau, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

In Hu Ke's words, this meal didn't count, because Liaodong Deputy Director Lu Qiming also wanted to see him, but there was no time tonight, and he was also afraid that his hurried arrival and departure would be inconvenient.

Hu Ke brought him greetings and blessings from Lu Qiming; knowing he was setting off to return to the capital tomorrow, he also entrusted Hu Ke to bring him some local specialties from Fengcheng.

At Lu Qiming's position, one cannot avoid the ways of the world, especially when dealing with someone of Li Xuewu's status.

It concerns the grand plan for Liaodong's industrial development; a few local specialties don't cost much, but they represent a gesture of goodwill.

Naturally, Li Xuewu could not refuse. On the afternoon of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after he finished the symposium with the cadres of the machinery factory, he let them send him to the train back to the capital.

Including the local specialties sent by Hu Ke, as well as some given to him by Xiao Zihong, they were all on the luggage rack.

Of course, he was not returning to the capital alone; his secretary Zhang Enyuan accompanied him. The two used their work IDs to request a soft sleeper from the railway, which was just right for summarizing their recent research into a report.

Zhang Enyuan knew that the Secretary-General's writing skills were very solid, so he didn't dare to show off and make a fool of himself, but he still worked very hard to provide assistance.

This train belonged to the Fengcheng Bureau and had no cooperative relationship with the Red Star Steel Group. Li Xuewu's work ID was only at the department level, so it did not attract the train conductor's attention.

If it were a train from the Capital Bureau, not to mention tea, there would definitely be fruit platters and pastries, and the conductor would also come to visit, meeting him upon boarding and seeing him off upon arrival; the service would definitely be impeccable.

However, Li Xuewu was not an arrogant or extravagant person, nor was he the type to nitpick, so he didn't care about these things.

His time was very tight now, and he really didn't want to waste it on socializing, so the compartment was quiet.

The train departed from Fengcheng Station at noon and arrived at the Capital Station at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Before the train had even come to a steady stop, the conductor received a report from the train attendant that there was a large Red Flag car on the platform.

Although the train slowed down after entering the station, its speed was not slow at all. By the time the conductor received the news, she had already seen the black high-end sedan on the platform.

There was no need to guess; either a high-ranking leader was boarding or a high-ranking leader was getting off. But how could there be a high-ranking leader on her train? The latter could be ruled out first.

But if a high-ranking leader were to board, she should have received notification from the station in advance and prepared the carriage.

The conductor was confused, but despite the confusion in her heart, her feet were nimble. She spotted the platform location where the Red Flag was parked and quickly determined the corresponding carriage.

Based on her work experience, she didn't rush into the carriage to chase the platform; at this time, passengers were in a hurry to get off and were blocking the aisle, so she could only wait for the train to stop before getting off.

Rushing over from the platform would definitely save more time than rushing over from inside the carriage.

It was just that there were particularly many passengers getting off in the capital today, and her duty on the passenger train side was to handle special situations that might arise.

By the time she came out of the carriage, helped the train attendant organize the queue of passengers getting off, and rushed over there, it was already too late.

She watched as the department-level official who had boarded in Fengcheng was invited into the back seat of the car by the secretary who had gotten off the Red Flag, while his accompanying secretary and the secretary who had gotten off loaded the luggage and returned to the car.

By the time she rushed over wanting to greet them, the Red Flag sedan had already started and, under the guidance of the platform staff, drove off to the other side; she could only stare in astonishment.

Besides lamenting that the waters in the capital were deep, she could only complain that the Fengcheng station side had not paid attention to the key information of the key passenger.

For such special passengers, leaders would emphasize the need to do a good job in service every time they held a meeting.

What is called service work?

Could it be that what she did was not enough?

This depends on how one understands it; if a key passenger boards and she doesn't discover it or do a good job of coordination, then the work was not done well.

The railway is the main means of transportation in this era, and it is also a bond for maintaining relationships and handling affairs with various local units and departments by relying on this condition.

Every key passenger who boards has the potential to become a key factor affecting future work; if one can do a good job in advance, why not do it?

It was just that the scar-faced man was really a bit young, and on top of that, the two of them didn't put on airs, nor did they have any special requests, staying in the carriage busy with something the whole time, so she didn't notice anything special.

Now she saw something special, but it was too late.

It is said that the waters in the capital are deep; perhaps there are not many people who use large Red Flags, and which one of them is not a famous and prominent figure?

Li Xuewu really didn't feel that he had this kind of stature, and he didn't expect Li Huai De to pull such a stunt on him.

The Volga M24 he took over from Li Huai De had already been driven to Steel City by Yu Zhe, so he naturally couldn't drag it back this time.

He had notified the Comprehensive Management Department in advance that he needed a car upon returning to the capital, specifically instructing them to use an Antelope.

And the result? Is this what you call a damn surprise?

Li Xuewu sat in the back seat looking out the window without saying much, and Li Haiyang in the passenger seat also remained silent.

Only Zhang Enyuan, who was visiting the capital for the first time, couldn't help but feel excited and curious; he had only seen this car in the newspaper and didn't expect to be sitting in it so soon.

He was even more curious about the streetscape of the capital, which looked more imposing than that of Steel City, especially the high-rise buildings along the street.

At this time, a six-story building was considered a high-rise, and an eleven-story building was considered a skyscraper, because people needed to look up at them.

Li Haiyang also saw the actions of the Secretary-General's new secretary in the rearview mirror, but he was also secretly wondering why the Secretary-General had chosen such an old secretary this time.

Although Zhang Enyuan was no longer a young man in his twenties, he was not an old comrade in his forties either; a man in his thirties is in his prime, so how could he be old?

But in Li Haiyang's eyes, being selected as a secretary only in his thirties—if that's not old, what is?

Such a person has almost no potential for development; even if he works by the Secretary-General's side for a lifetime, he will only be a section chief in the end, and at most a deputy department head if he goes down.

Not to mention that Li Haiyang was wildly arrogant, even Zhang Enyuan himself, following the Secretary-General to the group, getting off the car and going upstairs, saw young faces along the way that stung his eyes.

His first impression of the group's headquarters was that it was young—young and promisingly young; he really doubted if he was old.

He had the feeling of an "ascender who has gone through hardships, becoming one of the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers besieging the monkey."

The Red Star Steel Group is powerful indeed!
