Chapter 1433: A Great Start to Work

"Thank you for your service, you've worked hard."

Before boarding the car, Li Xuewu turned back to shake hands with the flight crew who had seen him off, expressing his gratitude with a smile.

Including Zhou Xiaoling, the crew members were somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected the Secretary-General to bid them farewell as well.

In fact, the flight attendants had already said a simple goodbye to the Secretary-General on the plane; their coming out to see him off to the car was purely out of respect for a leader.

The Red Star No. 1 business jet basically never undertook flight missions for ordinary passengers because it wasn't worth it.

The fuel costs and flight wear-and-tear were completely disproportionate to those few seats in the cabin.

It could only be utilized when group leaders had urgent missions, or for high-ranking leaders from other units.

There are many reasons why the Red Star No. 1 business jet had so many flight missions and had maintained a self-sustaining situation since its operation.

First, the pilots of the Red Star No. 1 flight service team all came from professional units and possessed rich flight experience.

Second, the Red Star No. 1 was an advanced foreign business jet, a professional aircraft equipped with office conditions.

Finally, the Red Star No. 1 possessed a service standard that was almost unseen and unmatched domestically to this day.

Any passenger boarding the Red Star No. 1 would receive a welcome from the entire flight crew.

The form was a bit exaggerated, but the effect and feedback were quite good; the guests' emotional value was maximized.

Just imagine, the captain and the chief flight attendant leading a team to stand on one side of the boarding stairs waiting for you to board, complete with a salute service.

The captain and pilots were not young; didn't that immediately boost one's sense of security?

The flight attendants were not old, and having been screened and trained, didn't the visual effect also improve?

What is called professional? This is what is called professional.

As long as they were guests who had used the Red Star No. 1, they could hardly find any faults; there were even several kinds of water available.

The Yuquan Mountain mineral water produced by the Red Star Steel Group had already been purchased by the Friendship Store for sale.

And the plane provided this product, which was absolutely rare in the conventional market, offering a dazzling array of services.

For those with short flight distances, they would arrive at their destination before even enjoying all the services provided by the flight attendants, and some people even felt a sense of wanting more.

And the entire flight crew seeing guests off to their car—this kind of service was very rare, reserved only for group leaders or high-ranking leaders.

Some leaders were relatively cold, viewing them as service personnel, just nodding and passing by.

But every time the Secretary-General took the Red Star No. 1, he made them feel the sensation of being respected.

It was only after Li Xuewu had politely bid farewell to the crew that Bu Qingfang boarded the car from the other side of the large Red Flag.

Watching the Red Star Steel Group's No. 1 car leave, the crew members had mixed feelings—some moved, some excited, and some lost in wild thoughts.

"Why was this car arranged again?"

When the two met just after stepping off the boarding stairs, Li Xuewu hadn't asked about the car; it was only after the car started moving that he asked Bu Qingfang.

Bu Qingfang knew that Li Xuewu was unwilling to use this car, which was completely consistent with the low-key nature he displayed daily; he was not a hypocritical person.

"It was I who requested this car." She turned her head to look at Li Xuewu and said with a smile, "I haven't ridden in it yet; this time I'm just taking advantage of you."

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at her and said amusedly, "Now that you're sitting in it, how does it feel?"

"How does it feel—" She drew out a long tone, her gaze feigning thought. After a few seconds, she reached out and patted Zhang Enyuan in the front passenger seat, asking, "Secretary Zhang, you tell me, what does it feel like to ride in this large Red Flag?"

"It should not be as comfortable as a plane."

What a clever person Zhang Enyuan was; his answer was impeccable, cleverly swapping the concept.

He was the only one among Li Xuewu's secretaries who didn't need Li Xuewu to take pains to teach him, and he performed his duties very conscientiously, which also earned Bu Qingfang's affirmation.

It could be said that as Li Xuewu's position grew higher, the power of his secretary also grew greater.

Before other department heads communicated with Li Xuewu, they must have a brief coordination with his secretary, at least to understand Li Xuewu's itinerary from him.

Furthermore, they also had to provide the main content of the meeting to the secretary to facilitate the secretary's arrangements, and also to give Li Xuewu time and energy to prepare for the communication.

It was just a bridging process; unless it was a deputy factory-level or an important industrial enterprise head, others had to go through him to meet with Li Xuewu.

You tell me, is the secretary's position important, and is the power great?

It was just that Li Xuewu appeared low-key, and his secretary Zhang Enyuan was also a cautious person; the two's cooperation was complementary and tacit.

"Hehe—"

"What are you laughing at?"

Bu Qingfang turned her head to look at Li Xuewu, who was chuckling, curled her lips, and said, "You really found a good secretary; he's on the same path as you."

"What path am I on?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked amusedly, "Why are you using jargon?"

"You understand what I mean." Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, reached out to touch the armrest of the Red Flag, and said, "If you ask me, this car isn't as comfortable to ride in as your Volga, but it's just fascinating."

"You're talking about the value beyond itself." Li Xuewu leaned back in his seat and said, "Everything follows this principle."

"What if it's a person?" Bu Qingfang glanced at him sideways and asked with a meaningful smile, "If a person possesses value beyond themselves, will it also make people fascinated?"

"That belongs to the category of literature." Li Xuewu emphasized with a smile, "It's generally described as personal charm."

"You really have a way—"

Bu Qingfang looked amusedly out the window at the flickering lights and said, "You can find a reason for everything."

"I've been reading too many reports lately; I get serious as I talk." Li Xuewu turned his head to look at her and asked, "Talking like this is a bit annoying, right?"

"I didn't say that." Bu Qingfang turned her head back, looked at him with a smile, and reminded him, "However, you have a meeting in a while; you'll have to be careful then."

She raised her hand to signal and said, "People will think you're being overly serious and a bit aggressive."

"Hmm—that is indeed the case."

Li Xuewu thought about it, nodded, and said understandingly, "Thank you for your reminder."

"Now you know that external assignments are not easy to do, right?"

Bu Qingfang said with a smile, "Every time I hear Xu Sinian complaining in Beijing that the work below is not easy to do, I remind myself: if I can avoid going down, I won't go down."

"How many more years can you persist?"

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at her and asked, "Do you want to work in this position for a lifetime?"

"It doesn't matter anymore; even if I reached Director Li's current position, so what?" Bu Qingfang leaned back in her seat, shook her head slightly, and said, "Wouldn't I still be fooled by others?"

"Who are you talking about?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and scrutinized her, asking, "Is there any program in the group lately?"

"Hehe, you missed a good show."

Bu Qingfang seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Xuewu raised his wrist to check the time by the faint light reflected from the car headlights in front and reminded her, "You have five minutes to tell this story."

"It's hilarious; I can't help but laugh whenever I think about this, and it's been a week."

Bu Qingfang collected her emotions slightly, but still explained with a smile, "Someone tried to save trouble and didn't want to waste time on the signing process, so they imitated the signatures of almost all the leaders involved and finally reported it to Director Li."

"And then?" Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "Did Director Li sign it?"

"He signed it, but it wasn't issued."

Bu Qingfang raised her eyebrows and said, "It was only after he finished signing that he realized something was wrong; there was only your name on it, but no opinion from you."

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu knew what she meant, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

His signature was not hard to imitate; as long as one had a certain foundation in imitation, it could be done. What was hard to imitate was his handwriting; he had more experience in this regard.

His signature style was almost unchanging, but the handwriting of his written opinions was different.

What was more cautious was that he often performed "encryption" processing when writing opinions.

Let's put it this way: people with rich experience in government work generally have this habit.

You say this report was reviewed by me, and it has my opinion and signature on it, but I don't acknowledge it.

If you insist that I wrote it, then fine, find previous documents for comparison, point out the specific "password" area, and tell the other party your writing habits; whether you wrote it or not will be clear at a glance.

Li Xuewu was the same; the more text there was, the more "passwords" were attached. Ordinary people couldn't see it; who would know your writing habits on a certain character?

They could imitate the signature, but they couldn't imitate his handwriting, and Old Li had the habit of not signing without seeing his opinion.

The reason this document was signed was probably because he signed it out of habit, and only realized something was wrong afterward.

For comprehensive government management work, generally speaking, the signatures of Deputy Secretary-General Bu Qingfang and Executive Deputy Secretary-General Chen Shouzhi were enough to pass Old Li's review.

But for important business, projects, and government work, their signatures were not enough; even signing on behalf of others wouldn't work. The document had to be brought to Steel City by the confidential secretary and handed to Li Xuewu for review, and then brought back for him to see.

Old Li had to see Li Xuewu's opinion and communicate over the phone before he would put pen to paper.

It wasn't that he overly relied on Li Xuewu's talent, nor was it that he was convinced Li Xuewu wouldn't make mistakes, but that he knew Li Xuewu's work habits.

Who could persist in registering the document names, responsible persons, and other information for every document they had signed and written opinions on during the process of work coordination and communication?

This wasn't just one or two documents, nor one or two years, but from the day Li Xuewu started working, every document he handled, regardless of size, as long as it was signed in black and white, could be found in his notebook.

Such a person didn't even trust himself when he was ruthless; how could Old Li not trust him?

Old Li would even suspect that he had made a mistake before he would suspect that Li Xuewu had made a mistake, and he was even more convinced that those diaries of Li Xuewu wouldn't make mistakes.

This work style of extreme verifiability made no one in the government dare to fool Li Xuewu, and even less dare to imitate his name to fool him.

Old Li had been tricked, and he was both angry and hateful; why did they imitate everyone else, but leave only him?

Isn't this setting someone up—

"I find it funny that that person's cleverness wasn't used in the right place; he even knew to mix the document into the pile of documents on Liu Bin's desk, which were the parts urgently awaiting review."

Bu Qingfang shook her head slightly and said, "He didn't think about imitating all of them and just stuffing them into the part that had already been reviewed, letting Liu Bin issue them, and that would be it."

"Could they be issued?"

Li Xuewu hummed with a laugh and said, "I heard from Li Haiyang that Liu Bin works even more meticulously than he does."

"That is indeed true."

Bu Qingfang nodded seriously and said, "Even if the document were mixed into the reviewed part, it would still be discovered by Liu Bin; he has the same habit of taking notes as you do."

"Learned from Li Haiyang, I suppose—"

Li Xuewu turned his head amusedly, watching the light gradually brighten outside the car window; they were almost at the factory gate.

The lights of the buildings along the way made the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone look more modernized.

The security guards at the factory gate saw the large Red Flag approaching, pressed the button to raise the crossbar in time, and at the same time saluted together with the other security personnel.

Li Xuewu looked at the spirited security guards and nodded slightly; these were his former soldiers.

"Li Haiyang told me that many of his work methods and habits were learned from me."

As the car entered the factory area, Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Bu Qingfang and said, "It seems I have to collect tuition fees."

"That's too much trouble; you should just open a class at the vocational college; that way you'll earn more—"

Bu Qingfang looked at him jokingly and said, "I believe many people are willing to pay for such knowledge."

"Of course, including me."

Just as the large Red Flag stopped steadily in front of the main office building, she said to Li Xuewu with a smile as she got out of the car, "Leave a front-row seat for me when the time comes."

"Sure, I'll let you give a lecture then too—"

"Secretary-General, the leaders are in the third-floor conference room."

In front of the main office building, Chen Shouzhi hurried out from the lobby. After nodding to Bu Qingfang, he looked at Li Xuewu and reported, "The experts are waiting in the reception room."

"I know." Li Xuewu nodded, and while walking upstairs, asked, "Has Comrade Shangguan Qi arrived?"

"Yes, she is also in the reception room."

Chen Shouzhi only lagged half a step behind him and half a step ahead of Bu Qingfang; the three of them went up to the third floor in a front-and-back, left-and-right formation, and the information docking never stopped along the way.

In later generations, this is also called aligning granularity.

Looking from downstairs, the four-story main office building was brightly lit; leaders were working overtime, knowing that something big was about to happen, and some department heads took the initiative to stay behind.

They also knew that under normal circumstances, leaders wouldn't react so quickly when holding a meeting; they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to issue a notice to them.

But isn't the precaution for special circumstances? What if tonight's meeting involved content related to them?

If they could appear in the conference room in time, or appear just as the meeting ended, this would be a bonus point, representing their serious work attitude and their psychological preparation and basic quality for fighting hard and big battles.

Making leaders trust and feel at ease is the primary condition for them to pursue work progress; otherwise, how could they get opportunities to perform?

Heads of various units and departments were working overtime temporarily; only duty personnel were left in the offices, and other staff members got off work normally; they didn't need to wait for meeting feedback.

This is the benefit of being an ordinary employee.

Those who should leave had left, and those who should stay had stayed; the whole office building was full of people, yet it was very quiet.

All eyes were focused on the third-floor conference room, and the third-floor conference room was waiting for someone.

"Hello, Secretary-General—"

The small conference room was at the end of the third-floor corridor, which was also where the management committee members held meetings.

The secretary on duty at the door was the first to see Secretary-General Li Xuewu, who was walking with vigor and leading the two deputy secretaries-general.

They took the initiative to greet him, and at the same time stood on both sides, leaving a passage for him to pass.

Li Xuewu nodded slightly and walked into the group's best conference room, which was covered with a dark red carpet.

The lights in the conference room were brighter than those in the corridor; he was a bit unaccustomed to it, but he still tried hard to look to the front.

Li Huai De was sitting there, nodding to him with a smile, and said, "Look, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives."

"Hahaha—"

A burst of chuckles erupted in the conference room, and everyone's eyes also focused on Li Xuewu, who had walked into the conference room, following the secretary's greeting.

"Cao Cao shouldn't be faster than me." Li Xuewu walked to his seat and sat down, letting Zhang Enyuan nimbly arrange his notebook, documents, and thermos cup.

Zhang Enyuan was a very qualified secretary; the two deputy secretaries-general stopped at the door of the conference room, and he was the one who followed Li Xuewu into the conference room.

In the brief moment Li Xuewu was exchanging pleasantries with other group leaders, he had already prepared everything.

Even the two deputy secretaries-general were not qualified to enter the conference room, so naturally, Zhang Enyuan was not qualified to stay.

So after preparing the things Li Xuewu needed, he quickly withdrew from the venue.

The secretary on duty at the door saw him come out and gently closed the door of the conference room, representing that tonight's meeting had officially begun.

"Good, we have finally waited for the Secretary-General to return, so let's start tonight's meeting."

Li Huai De didn't seem to be affected by the fake signature storm; he summarized everyone's jokes with Li Xuewu and gradually restrained the smile on his face.

He straightened his posture, looked at everyone, and gave a brief opening remark. Only then did he raise his hand to signal in Li Xuewu's direction and said, "At the half-year mark, good news comes from Steel City."

"I suppose everyone wants to hear the Secretary-General's opinions and views on this matter; after all, he was on the scene."

Speaking of this, Li Huai De looked at Li Xuewu again and said, "Secretary-General, I and other comrades have all read the two reports you submitted."

"Calling you back in such a hurry is also because everyone attaches importance to and pays attention to the two reports."

His gaze swept over everyone and then looked at Li Xuewu, saying, "Can you introduce the situation at that time in detail to everyone, and also talk about your views and opinions on this matter, okay?"

"Okay, Director Li, everyone."

Li Xuewu nodded slightly, scanned everyone again, lowered his head to look at the document he had prepared long ago, and made a detailed report according to Li Huai De's request.

It was mainly aimed at the production report provided by the Shenfei expert group and the feasibility demonstration of deep cooperation between the two sides.

Li Xuewu's report was mainly to further elaborate on the environment and goals of these two reports.

The time he arrived at the office was 8:10, and Zhang Enyuan specifically checked the time on his hand.

The meeting ended at 0:49 in the morning; this cooperative project work meeting lasted for more than four hours, and almost everyone's energy was exhausted.

Work discussion meeting, especially the project involving Shenfei, which has scalability, mainly targeting the level of technical cooperation.

Almost all members of the leadership team have high hopes for this cooperation, and those with ties to their own supervised businesses or departments are even more proactive.

It is not that Red Star Steel Group has developed for so long, and everyone still envies an older brother like Shenfei.

It is the longing for and focus on professional technology, and it is the sensitivity and pursuit of opportunities by these group leaders during the development process of Red Star Steel Group.

Is Shenfei's scale large or not?

Of course it is large, one could say very large; it is just that the current enterprise management system is relatively rigid, has not yet fully opened up, and has not proposed the concept of group-based operation.

If evolving according to the scale of group-based operations, including Shenfei, Jinmen Aquatic Products, Beijing Automobile, and Beijing Second Automobile, which Red Star Steel Group has been in contact with, all have the ability and qualifications to form group companies.

Shenfei has such a large-scale technical reserve and production cooperation demand; with two trust-type behemoth enterprises launching tentative preliminary cooperation, would you say Red Star Steel Group should or should not attach importance to it?

At the meeting, Li Xuewu first introduced the automobile project purchased by Shenfei, as well as the situation of the special metal and machining projects they are concerned about.

When introducing his participation in the J-8 test flight activity, Li Xuewu particularly emphasized the importance of the J-8 project for national defense construction, as well as the importance of the era's test.

It was to explain clearly to all the group's leaders the key to this project, and only then did he begin to introduce the key and advantages of launching cooperation with Shenfei.

The problems Li Xuewu considers and the directions he focuses on are the key points that all group leadership team members must listen to.

What did not disappoint them was that Li Xuewu took the cooperation between the group and Shenfei as an opportunity for the group's Liaodong industrial enterprises to integrate into the local industrial circle.

After he went to work in Liaodong, he had always been looking for and waiting for this opportunity; he could not say whether Liaodong industry had contributed to this cooperation, but he firmly believed that Red Star Steel Group being able to carry out cooperation framework agreement negotiations with Shenfei and starting comprehensive cooperation was a situation that many parties hoped to see.

Red Star Steel Group possesses mature and modernized management advantages, production capabilities, etc., and the most critical thing is the market conversion rate, as well as economic construction capability.

Designing and manufacturing aircraft also requires costs; relying only on allocations from above, the disadvantage of insufficient funding has tested Shenfei for many years.

Now that the authorities have slightly relaxed the restrictions and given them opportunities for learning and development, Shenfei of course hopes to find a good master, preferably the kind that is very capable of making money.

Isn't that right, Red Star Steel Group has appeared.

The industrial circle is watching Red Star Steel Group; this is a typical example of a sudden rise in the Beijing industrial circle.

Let's put it this way, Red Star Factory being promoted to a group enterprise is as satisfying as a loser making a comeback.

When expounding on the technical cooperation part, Li Xuewu specifically proposed the prospect of laying out the aviation field, seizing opportunities, and actively accelerating the promotion of steel-flight development.

If one wants to fully grasp the technology in the aviation and aircraft fields, relying solely on hoarding college students to work behind closed doors is undesirable.

With insufficient primitive technical accumulation, even if there is soil for college students to develop, it will not work without seeds.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce technology, learn technology, and constantly absorb talent, and launch cross-industrial cooperation with advanced industrial enterprises and brother units.

What this feeds back to Red Star Steel is: it can increase the group's influence and the thickness of the joint industry.

The group leadership team members separately asked questions and expounded their opinions; after a long discussion and study, it was finally decided that Gao Yaqin, Cheng Kaiyuan, and Li Xuewu would jointly form a negotiation leadership group to carry out preliminary work.

At the same time, authorized by the group management committee director and general manager Li Huai De, Li Xuewu will represent Red Star Steel Group to formally reply to Shenfei's cooperation invitation.

Up to this point, the cooperation project that Li Xuewu organized relevant personnel to prepare for nearly a month has been formally established.

As for how to cooperate next and what the goals of the cooperation are, this still has to wait for the results of the negotiations.

This is just the establishment of the project, the first step of a long march; it is still far from talking about goals.

"How about it? Stay tonight and go back after dawn?" Li Huai De walked to Li Xuewu's side on his own initiative, shook hands with him, and asked: "Do you want to go home and take a look?"

"Tomorrow's activity cannot be missed."

Li Xuewu held his hand and also explained to the other leadership team members: "I have to fly back as soon as possible."

"The activity at nine tomorrow morning?"

Dong Wenxue raised his wrist to check the time, nodded and said: "Then you really have to hurry; if you want to go home and see the children, you must be quick."

"I won't go back, it's too troublesome."

Li Xuewu let go of Li Huai De's hand, looked at Dong Wenxue and said: "I come back twice a month; wait until the next time I come back to see them, let's get busy with the work at hand first."

"The Secretary-General has worked hard—"

Cheng Kaiyuan walked over and shook hands with him, signaled to Gao Yaqin who had stood up and walked over, and said: "Deputy Director Gao and I are waiting for your news, ready to go to Liaodong to join you at any time."

"Good, I will determine the meeting time as soon as possible, and feedback will be given as soon as there is news."

Li Xuewu shook hands with Gao Yaqin who walked over again, and said: "Then that's it for tonight, I'll go to the airport first; even if I can have a little more time, I want to stay in Steel City."

"Since that's the case, then I wish you a smooth journey and success." Li Huai De nodded with a smile, raised his hand to signal to Liu Bin standing at the door and said: "Is the car arranged?"

"Deputy Secretary-General Bu has already arranged it, the car is right downstairs." Secretary Liu Bin nodded and replied: "The midnight snack you asked me to prepare is also in the car."

"It's prepared for you, eat it on the road."

Li Huai De patted Li Xuewu's arm, sighed softly, and said: "I originally planned to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning, and also let you have time to go home and see the children; now it seems I have to wait for next time."

"Then next time, let's have breakfast together."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the other leadership team members and said: "Everyone is also welcome to come to Liaodong for breakfast."

"Hehehe—"

Everyone knew that Li Xuewu was going to take a plane back to Steel City overnight to attend the completion ceremony held tomorrow morning.

So everyone was not in a hurry to leave; even if they didn't take the initiative to come over to say goodbye, they wouldn't be an eyesore at this time.

At least maintain superficial unity; if even this cannot be done, then Old Li wouldn't mind making them lose face.

Everyone knows that Director Li loves face the most.

"Alright, don't waste time."

Li Huai De made the final summary, sent Li Xuewu out the door, and said: "We are waiting for your good news."

Bu Qingfang and Chen Shouzhi, just like when they came, followed Director Li to send Li Xuewu to the stairwell, went down the stairs with Li Xuewu, and sent him to the building entrance.

Chen Shouzhi still had to organize the work after the meeting ended, so he only sent Li Xuewu to the car, while Bu Qingfang was going to send Li Xuewu to the airport.

"There's no need for such a big fuss."

Li Xuewu shook hands with Chen Shouzhi with a smile, and said to Bu Qingfang who was about to get in the car: "We can go by ourselves, you should also get off work and rest early."

"It doesn't matter for this little while."

Bu Qingfang opened the car door, looked at him through the car and said: "I'll send you back in a while, I'll let the driver send me directly home."

She raised her wrist to check her watch, smiled and said: "Actually, there's really no need to go home at this hour, it's just tossing the children, forget it, I'll come back."

"We are all going to the guesthouse in a while."

Chen Shouzhi sent Li Xuewu into the car and joked with Bu Qingfang: "I won't wait for you to come back to sleep."

"Go to hell, Old Chen, you've learned to be bad!"

Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, bent down to get into the car, and pointed at Chen Shouzhi through Li Xuewu.

The relationship shown by the two was considered harmonious, at least in front of Li Xuewu it was like this.

The big Red Flag slowly drove out of the office area amidst the bright lights, passed through the factory road illuminated by street lamps, went out the gate under the salute and gaze of the security guards, and gradually accelerated.

At the airport, Red Star One had already made preparations for takeoff, the standby flight crew was on duty, and would escort Li Xuewu and secretary Zhang Enyuan back to Steel City.

Returning to Beijing in a hurry, he didn't even have time to see the children, let alone see the morning sun.

Perhaps this is the significance of the existence of the Red Star One business jet; Li Xuewu was also transforming from the identity of a father and husband to a role that was more important and needed him.

"Really not preparing firecrackers?"

Zhang Jing was confirming the final details with Sun Jia, looked at the factory area of the steel mill, it was indeed different from the Beijing Red Star Factory.

Red Star Steel Group developed from Red Star Steel Rolling Factory; there is no need to talk about the history before that, the process of merging Factory One, Factory Two, and Factory Four was too complicated.

And establishing Red Star Steel Group, Red Star Steel Rolling Factory was the main body, the foundation, and the key business.

But since formulating the development plan three years ago, determining the transfer of Red Star Steel Rolling Factory to Steel City, achieving optimal integration of steel rolling and metallurgical projects, and at the same time driving and developing other projects, and forming an integrated, modernized industrial zone, the fate of the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Factory also began its countdown.

Similarly, the steel rolling business also started from that time, no longer being the group's only core industry.

Mixed development of light and heavy industry, opening up the upstream and downstream structure of the industrial chain became the group's development goal.

Forming a professional, modernized steel rolling industry became a key task of the group.

Red Star Steel Rolling Factory did not go bankrupt, nor did it disappear, but turned into sparks, lighting up the entire group.

The original number of employees was more than 13,000, and the number of workers directly participating in production exceeded 8,000.

Nowadays, the Steel City Steel Rolling Factory, which has achieved full completion and the last piece of mechanical equipment has been installed, inherited the glory of the Red Star Steel Rolling Factory, but the total number of people is only 8,000.

Other workers and cadres are those sparks, scattered in every corner of the group, and have also become the backbone force supporting other brother units, and even more so the pillars supporting Beijing industry in forming the New Beijing First Steel Rolling Factory.

Starting from today, the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Factory formally enters the countdown, and the Steel City Red Star Steel Rolling Factory also begins the countdown, preparing to undertake the production plans assigned by all parties.

Actually, many workers from the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Factory have already been coordinated away; only the main industry is still absorbing the most important industry, and others mostly went to the New Beijing First Factory.

Many workers could not accept going to Steel City to work, leaving their hometowns, staying away from their families, and the difficulties of commuting thousands of miles.

Similarly, the group's expectations and goals for industrial enterprises also made many old workers shrink back, and they actively chose to go to the New Beijing First Factory to work.

Although they were reluctant to give up the treatment of Red Star Steel Group, and even more reluctant to give up the working environment here.

However, news came out that the management handover of Beijing industry to the New Beijing First Factory would be a bit later.

Many people were guessing whether Beijing industry was not fully prepared, or had other purposes.

It's too simple, Red Star Steel Group is developing really well, the steel rolling industry is so complete, the products are particularly rich; as the biological child of Red Star Steel Group, although the surname has been changed, there is always a blood relationship.

Not borrowing this east wind, not taking advantage of this cheapness, isn't it a bit too much of a loss?

If they could complete the production plan assigned by Beijing industry, and have the conditions to undertake the production tasks given by Red Star Steel Group, that would be great.

Red Star Steel Group also intends to maintain its influence on the New Beijing First Factory, directly expressed in its care and concern for the workers.

At the same time, the New Beijing First Factory maintaining production capacity can also provide certain assistance to Red Star Steel Group's industrial production in the North China region in the future.

Therefore, when the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Factory is about to close, and when the Steel City Red Star Steel Rolling Factory is about to start operations, Beijing industry and Red Star Steel Group have started negotiation work for the latest cooperation project.

After all, Red Star Steel Group wants to gain a foothold in Beijing, and there are still many light industries and office areas here.

The group's worker new village is also here, and the entire Liangma River ecological industrial zone is also under the jurisdiction of the other party.

So the relationship must be handled well, everyone is also an acquaintance, and the negotiation progress is mainly centered on future cooperation; Beijing industry must also actively cooperate with Red Star Steel Group's outlook and arrangements for the future.

Both sides hope that each other will live well; in this friendly atmosphere, cooperation is naturally easy to talk about.

At today's Steel City Steel Rolling Factory completion ceremony, there were representatives from Beijing industry attending.

They came early, not as rushed as Li Xuewu.

Actually, Li Xuewu also made preparations in advance, it was the group that temporarily called him back for a meeting, so he flew overnight.

It is said that there are not many people in this era who can take a plane, but for flight commuting, Li Xuewu still doesn't like it, because no matter how good the environment and service are, they cannot offset this sense of fatigue.

He fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane, but had to wake up four hours later; once he arrived at the metallurgical plant, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

It's not that the people below were troubling him, but he couldn't sleep anymore; once the sun came out, he had no sleepiness.

As the protagonist today, he had to represent the group to give a speech at the ceremony, and Kuang Yusheng also made preparations.

He represented the group to talk about the outlook, Kuang Yusheng represented the steel rolling factory to make a statement; the activity started at nine, but they had to make preparations from seven in the morning.

"Your eyes are a bit red."

Zhou Peilan looked at the Secretary-General who had changed his clothes and came out of the office, and reminded him: "How about you rest for a while? There is still a while before the activity starts."

"Forget it, there's no time."

Li Xuewu looked at his watch and said: "The guests have already arrived by now, if I don't appear again, people will say we are slow to treat guests."

"Director Zhang has already gone over to explain."

Zhou Linghua came out of the office, looked at him and reported: "You still have half an hour to prepare."

"Hmm, is Factory Director Wang from Shenfei coming?"

Li Xuewu walked into the big office, which was the preparatory office for this activity.

Wang Min handed him a list, which was the roster of units that had decided to attend the activity so far.

Li Xuewu flipped through it casually, nodded and said: "I can't remember how many there are, you guys look and prepare; every unit and every individual who comes to participate in the activity must have a gift."

"Make it practical."

He reminded, smiled and said: "Eating and taking, it will be easier to speak well of us when they go back."

"Director Zhang has already prepared it."

Zhou Peilan saw that his collar was a bit crooked, pointed her finger at him and reminded: "Do you need me to help you?"

"Wang Min, come here, his hands are convenient."

Li Xuewu pointed to Wang Min who was closest to him, and did not use Zhou Peilan.

He could still consider this level of attention; he didn't care, mainly because Zhou Peilan was still young, and it was not good for an unmarried girl to get involved in any entanglements with him.

It is best not to have gossip.

"Your suit is really neat—"

Wang Min smiled and looked at him, joking: "Especially your height, you really carry clothes well."

"Wait until next time there is a chance, I'll change you to go up and speak."

Li Xuewu teased him: "But you have to fight for me; Professor Liu said your mouth is sharp, but there is no progress in business."

The four of Zhou Peilan working here with Li Xuewu also had a benefit, which was the professor's cultivation.

It was Li Xuewu who, in order to cultivate them, invited professors from the academy to help and cultivate them one-on-one.

They had to regularly report their work and academic progress to the professors, which counted as graduate steps.

Graduate students without diplomas and certificates, nobody knows how many years, it just depends on their own efforts and fortune.

Zhou Peilan was the only one among them who was particularly hardworking, Li Xuewu admitted this.

Li Xuewu only stayed in the office for a while, talked with the four for a while, relaxed his mood, and then took them downstairs; the car was already waiting for him.

The activity was in the big courtyard of the steel rolling factory, with the modernized factory building as the background, and a high platform had already been built.

There were no tables and chairs below, everyone stood to listen, but they could sit and eat at noon.

Hospitality, after all, must be there.

"Secretary-General, it's your turn to go on stage."

The host of the steel rolling factory completion ceremony, which was also the trial production start activity, was Zhang Jing, director of the group's Liaodong industrial leadership group office.

The speech time for the activity part was very short, so there was no more preparation.

Zhang Jing gave a brief introduction, and Li Xuewu went on stage under the attention of a crowd of eyes.

He first expressed his welcome to the guests who came to participate in the activity today, and briefly expounded on the group's expectations and attention to the Steel City Steel Rolling Factory.

Kuang Yusheng's statement speech was shorter than his speech, but the voice was very loud.

After the ceremony ended, it was the tour segment; during this period, Li Xuewu had a dialogue that both sides were looking forward to with Liu Xin, the deputy factory director of Shenfei who was invited to attend, and formally conveyed the group's reply of willingness to cooperate to the other party.

At the same time, Liu Xin also confirmed that after going back, he would organize an expert group and leaders to carry out negotiation work with Red Star Steel Group as soon as possible.
