Chapter 1511: A Feint
"We—I don't have class today, so I wanted to come out for a walk."
Yulia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her lowered cheeks flushed with a rosy hue like a red apple, appearing as if she were shy.
Dresden University of Technology could indeed be verified, but she didn't know everything about the university.
Having spent the entire night reading through materials, she could only guarantee that she herself was real.
As for whether there were classes at the school today, how could she possibly know?
Li Xuewu did not delve into this question; yesterday, when Director Du Xian asked him if he was willing to follow Deputy Director Li to Dresden University to participate in activities, he could be certain that the university definitely had classes today.
Therefore, it was highly likely that the Yulia before him was lying, or...
"Where are you from?" Li Xuewu tilted his head, looking her over as he asked, "You don't look like you're of Germanic descent."
"I'm from Ukraine, Kiev." Yulia gathered her courage, looked up at him, and asked, "What about you? Where are you from? Japan?"
"That is the greatest insult I have encountered since coming to East Germany."
Li Xuewu's expression turned slightly displeased, even carrying a hint of gloom.
"You're from China? Right!"
Yulia seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing and knew exactly where she had erred.
Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "You are very knowledgeable about East Asian history?"
"No, I am very knowledgeable about the history of World War II." Yulia looked at him and explained, "I had seven family members die in that war."
"My motherland had over thirty million people die in that evil war."
Li Xuewu said indifferently, "Just as I cannot forget that period of history, I likewise cannot accept such a misunderstanding."
"I can very much understand your feelings. Please allow me to express my deepest apologies. I am sorry, sir."
Yulia seemed to sense his dissatisfaction and expressed her apology very sincerely.
"Let's reintroduce ourselves. My surname is Li, from China, Beijing."
Li Xuewu smiled and extended his right hand, accepting her apology.
"My name is Yulia, from Ukraine, Kiev. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Yulia smiled gracefully and extended her right hand, offering only a light handshake.
Li Xuewu did not linger on that softness; it was precise, polite, and gentlemanly.
His gaze was clear as he looked at her and asked, "Why choose to study at a university in East Germany? Kiev has good universities too."
"Just as you certainly didn't come to East Germany for the sake of living, I am also studying abroad in East Germany out of necessity."
Yulia lowered her head, helpless and shy, and explained softly, "My grades were not sufficient to study at a better school in Kiev."
"Yet you are able to study at the best technical university in East Germany?" Li Xuewu looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why is that?"
"Because Dresden needs international students." Yulia smiled, hiding nothing, and explained, "We pay higher tuition fees than local students."
"Oh—I see."
Li Xuewu nodded knowingly and said, "That can be considered paying for knowledge."
"You are absolutely right."
Yulia smiled, looked him over, and asked, "What about you? Did you come to East Germany for... work or study?"
She asked curiously, "I rarely see Chinese people in East Germany. You are the first one I have come into contact with."
"Work, and there is also a purpose of study."
Li Xuewu looked at her with a smile and asked, "Which major are you studying? Perhaps I can learn a thing or two from you."
"I am still just a student."
Yulia lowered her head in embarrassment before explaining, "I am studying mechanical engineering."
"Then that really is fate."
The smile on Li Xuewu's face grew brighter as he took the initiative to explain, "I come from an integrated industrial enterprise, and our main business includes mechanical engineering."
"Really? Are you a mechanical engineer?"
She looked Li Xuewu over and asked, "You look so young, and yet..."
"I am not a mechanical engineer; I am a product designer." Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "I am mainly responsible for product research and development and functional design."
"So you are a designer."
As if truly curious and surprised, Yulia looked at him and asked, "What kind of products are you mainly responsible for?"
"Mostly automobiles, and aircraft as well."
Li Xuewu didn't need a draft to brag; lies came right off his tongue, "I have also done hardware industrial design."
"You are so amazing—"
Yulia exclaimed as she looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Then are you going to... Rostock?"
"Why do you ask that?"
Li Xuewu didn't answer but asked instead, smiling, "Why not other cities along the way?"
"Nothing, because I am going to Rostock, and the final stop of this train is also Rostock."
Yulia lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "So I assumed you were also going to Rostock."
"Actually, you guessed right. The purpose of my trip is indeed to go to Rostock." Li Xuewu explained with a smile under Sha Qizhi's surprised gaze, "Our company hopes to purchase a batch of dairy cows from Rostock to take back for breeding and farming."
I knew it would be like this—
Sha Qizhi, who had just been surprised at how the leader could expose his itinerary, twitched the corner of his mouth.
This flavor was too familiar; whenever the leader said something with a straight face, it was almost certainly nonsense.
He didn't believe the girl opposite was a serious university student, nor did he believe the leader couldn't see that.
Of course, he also didn't believe the girl opposite couldn't see that the leader was talking nonsense.
Both of them were talking nonsense while knowing the truth; it was a contest of acting and endurance to see who would slip up first.
It seemed this journey wouldn't be boring.
Sha Qizhi certainly wouldn't ruin the leader's plans; he didn't care how unexpected the topics they discussed were.
Trying to get any information out of Li Xuewu was harder than ascending to heaven.
"Purchase a batch of dairy cows? Take them back for breeding?"
Yulia's brain was about to crash. Listen to this—is this how normal people chat?
You talked about industry for half a day, designing cars and aircraft, and yet your leader actually arranged for you to purchase dairy cows?
"That's right, purchase a batch of dairy cows."
Li Xuewu smiled and explained, "The kindergarten in our factory is very large, and there are many children; we need milk to improve their physical fitness."
"Hehehe—" Yulia just chuckled and didn't take the bait. If she believed that, she'd be a dog.
Li Xuewu, however, didn't care whether she believed him or not; he only emphasized that this was the purpose of his trip.
"How many days will you be staying in Rostock?"
Yulia's eyes wandered as she took the initiative to introduce, "Because it's by the sea, the harbor scenery here is quite good. You can go out and walk around more."
"The weather is too cold; I'm a bit resistant."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't even bring enough thick clothes. It was a miscalculation."
"You can buy cotton-padded clothes at a local shopping mall." Yulia suggested, "You can head straight to the mall after getting off the train. Rostock is still very cold."
"I really didn't consider that point."
Li Xuewu said hesitantly, "We must rush to the pre-booked hotel to gather as soon as possible. As for the cotton-padded clothes..."
"Are you going to rely on a wool coat to resist the bitter cold from the Arctic?" Yulia smiled and shook her head, saying, "If you believe me, definitely don't do that."
"Have you been to Rostock many times?" Li Xuewu seized the contradiction in her words at the right moment and asked, "Listening to you, it seems like you are very familiar with this place."
"It... it is like that." Yulia looked out the train window with a panicked expression, then deliberately looked at Li Xuewu with composure and explained, "I often come here when I'm on vacation."
"Why?" Li Xuewu looked at her curiously and asked, "As far as I know, Rostock doesn't have any famous tourist attractions, or interesting places."
"I like the harbor atmosphere there." This time, Yulia really looked out the window and said indifferently, "I can feel the atmosphere of my hometown there."
"Since when is Kiev by the sea?"
Li Xuewu asked amusedly, "The hometown you just mentioned makes me a bit confused."
"I am from Kiev, but my hometown is in Yakymivka, a seaside city."
Yulia said indifferently, "It's just that I haven't been back for almost ten years, ever since my grandmother passed away."
"The climate is completely different, right?"
Li Xuewu glanced at her, then turned to look out the train window and said, "You can feel the atmosphere of your hometown?"
"You'll know once you've been there."
Yulia seemed to have just woken up from her memories, let out a long sigh, and said with pursed lips, "Perhaps this is a unique quality of emotion."
After saying this, she didn't chat anymore and started reading the textbook in her hand, appearing as if she were truly a good student.
Li Xuewu didn't ask her anything else either, watched the scenery flashing past the window, and fell asleep after a short while.
This actually made Yulia feel a bit depressed. Could it be that after chatting for so long, he had no interest in her at all?
Even if he wasn't a "simp" who only asked questions like "Are you there?", "What are you doing?", or "Have you eaten?", he should at least show off his wealth and status.
Don't all men like to show off when they see a beautiful woman?
But this one?
The key to her depression lay in the other party's constant lying; there was no sincerity at all.
From the information received from her superiors, she of course knew exactly who this man, who was so easy to identify, was.
What the hell is a product designer?
What the hell is coming to purchase dairy cows!
She was now even starting to doubt her own charm. Could it be that her recent maintenance wasn't up to par, and she had become ugly?
If she didn't think that way, should she suspect the other party's orientation?
The train traveled from the morning at East Berlin Station to Rostock in the morning hours.
The land area of East Germany was really small, and East Germany's railway network and high-speed trains were also very developed. No wonder they were able to become a developed country so early.
"Leader, we're almost at the station."
Sha Qizhi didn't deliberately monitor Yulia, who was sitting opposite, but he didn't dare to doze off.
Li Xuewu was the one who was truly asleep; he was really too tired last night and didn't even have much mood to deal with the female university student opposite, whose eyes were overflowing with resentment.
After being woken up by Sha Qizhi, he glanced out the window; the sunlight was a bit dazzling, and the snow covered the side of the railway.
No wonder Yulia reminded him to wear thicker clothes; it was already the dead of winter here.
Actually, it was normal; it didn't take much time to sail from here to the Arctic.
And with the Arctic cold wind blowing down without any obstruction, it would be strange if it weren't cold.
"Is all the luggage packed?"
Li Xuewu turned his head to look at the others in this carriage and asked Sha Qizhi.
Sha Qizhi just nodded, but his eyes glanced at the opposite side as if there were nothing there.
Li Xuewu understood and shook his head helplessly. She hadn't gotten off the train the whole time; she was really coming for him.
What should he do with such a beautiful sugar-coated bullet?
Some people say eat the sugar coating and fire the bullet back!
Nonsense, is the sugar coating that easy to eat?
If you really peel off the sugar coating, can what you fire back be a bullet?
"Have you booked a hotel?"
Li Xuewu already knew the answer the other party was going to give, but he still asked that.
How does that song go? Cooperating with your performance~
Life is like a play, all depending on acting.
Even if he didn't take the initiative to ask this, he would encounter the other party in the hotel lobby in a while. You don't believe it?
This is called a chance encounter; a chance encounter is a good medicine for a one-night stand!
Li Xuewu was very helpless; he rejected the fishnet stockings, and as a result, he encountered a student girl.
If he really rejects the student girl again, will the next one be a mature woman or a hotel waiter?
Is it the East German Stasi or the Northern Russian KGB?
The swallows of Northern Russia are famous in history; I don't know how many have washed their hands of it and become big figures that both sides are tight-lipped about.
Even if they didn't become big figures, the big figures they pulled down from their horses are countless.
Li Xuewu didn't want to become Shao Kang of Modu Electromechanical, that person who looked serious and sanctimonious; I really didn't expect him to become the laughingstock of this visiting delegation.
Temptation comes from every corner around you; how can you do it without a sense of vigilance?
However, at this time, he seemed unable to hide or bypass it. If he really didn't accept this kind of temptation, what means would be used on him next would be out of control.
Therefore, Li Xuewu had to take the initiative to show the lust and straightforwardness that a mature man of this age should have.
"Although I don't know what the scenery of Rostock Port is like, I should be able to see it when I wake up tomorrow morning."
He asked with a smile, "Are you willing to share with me the feelings of homesickness deep in your heart?"
This question was too complicated; could this female university student understand it?
Sha Qizhi, who was sitting beside Li Xuewu, looked at the opposite side suspiciously.
In his view, it would be better to ask directly, are you willing to accompany me to wake up and see Rostock Port?
"Rostock Port?" Yulia asked unexpectedly, "Which hotel did you book?"
"Fisherman, the name is just Fisherman."
Sha Qizhi gave the real answer to Li Xuewu's inquiry; he believed the leader could handle this matter well.
Li Xuewu turned his head and translated the answer given by Sha Qizhi, looking at the other party with anticipation.
Sure enough, Yulia expressed with great surprise, "The hotel I booked is also Fisherman. What a coincidence?"
"It seems we really have fate."
Li Xuewu smiled and invited, "Then please come with us when we get off the train in a while. Don't be polite."
"You..." she asked hesitantly and surprisingly, "You have a car to pick you up when you come here? You are..."
"The company's car, it was arranged long ago."
Li Xuewu didn't wait for the other party to pester him about his identity and briefly introduced, "I can take you to the hotel together; it's very convenient."
"Then—thank you."
Yulia thought for a moment and said, "If you are not busy, as a thank you, let me treat you to dinner."
"Hehe, let's talk about it in the evening."
Li Xuewu said with a chuckle, "I still have to inspect the dairy cow farming situation here in a while. I don't know when I will be able to return to the hotel."
"There are no dairy cows in Rostock."
Yulia was speechless, looked at him, and emphasized, "What you said must be Rostock District, but not the city."
"That's right, Rostock District."
Li Xuewu seemed to have a moment of surprise, like the embarrassment of having his lies and little tricks exposed by the other party.
"I heard that the economy here is mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry, so we can be considered to have come here for the reputation."
Believe you, a ghost—
Bringing half a train carriage of accompanying personnel just to buy dairy cows?
Are these people crazy, or did the dairy cows go off the rails?
"Alright then, I'll wait for you in the evening."
Yulia seemed like a simple and clear university student, reading the other party's kindness and eager to repay it.
It's just that who can understand the depression flashing in her eyes!
As long as Li Xuewu told the truth, or said a reliable lie, she would have a way to join in and act together.
She had already set up the persona of someone familiar with this place; what was the other party waiting for by not inviting her to be a guide?
Waiting for nothing, we are here to buy dairy cows; if you have the ability, you should say you are an animal husbandry expert and know dairy cows very well.
Don't know!
Yulia wouldn't lift a rock to hit her own feet; some professional knowledge, if you don't know it, you don't know it; blind guessing won't work.
So when Li Xuewu stated these tempting conditions, the other party was actually able to endure not following.
The accompanying Sha Qizhi and other security guards were also surprised and amused. The leader can really talk nonsense.
Yulia really got into their car, which made her partner very anxious. He wanted to warn Yulia several times, but he had no chance to get close to the other party at all.
At this time, Yulia had already broken into the other party's interior according to the requirements of her superiors, and even had some contact.
But what's the use of this? Their identities were exposed; Yulia was like a little mouse, in danger without knowing it.
Why didn't her partner give a destructive warning? Could it be that Yulia's identity is not important?
How is that possible? Girls with such looks and professional training have higher value one after another.
Losing any one of them is a regret that the higher-ups cannot afford.
The higher-ups allow these girls to rest for a year after completing their tasks to avoid possible dangers.
But the higher-ups don't allow the girls to lose contact!
Now from Yulia's perspective, she has broken into the enemy's interior, which is very difficult.
But in her partner's view, Yulia is trapped in the net laid by this enterprise, which is a quagmire.
Judging only by these means and behaviors, that scarred man is really not easy to deal with.
But—what about Yulia?
When he stood across the street and watched the motorcade leave, and there was no longer Yulia's figure at the station, he was completely panicked.
Finished, the target and the action personnel were lost together!
"Fisherman Hotel has the best buffet in Rostock; the seafood there comes from the Arctic Circle."
In the car, perhaps feeling the pressure brought by a car full of Easterners, Yulia sat down close to Li Xuewu.
The pressure feedback to her was the performance of telling Li Xuewu the content she memorized yesterday in an endless stream.
But the more nervous she was, the faster she spoke, and she was about to lose her emotions.
"It seems you really come here often."
Li Xuewu looked at the street scene outside the window through the car window; he was indeed cold for a moment when he just got off the train.
But it was only cold for a moment, because after all, it was noon, and the sun was still very sufficient.
"Believe me, you can spend a journey full of memories here."
Yulia emphasized confidently, and as if remembering something, she looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You haven't told me yet how many days you will be staying here."
"This hasn't been decided yet, it depends on the completion of the task." Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the girl beside him and explained, "If it's completed quickly, perhaps I really have time to invite you to be my guide."
He looked out the window and said, "I am very curious about everything here."
"Of course, no problem, as long as you have time."
Yulia guaranteed seriously, "I can stay here for at least three days before going back to school to report."
"Then let's wish our work on this trip success in advance." Li Xuewu laughed and looked at Sha Qizhi across the aisle, as well as the accompanying security guards.
The car was a minibus, which was the best car the stationed personnel could find.
After all, this is the northernmost area with relatively few people; where can you find more cars?
Passenger cars, still passenger cars, a total of three passenger cars, took the action personnel of Red Star Steel Group this time and headed straight to the Fisherman Hotel at the port, and started action after a short rest.
Watching the passenger car enter the hotel parking lot, Yulia breathed a sigh of relief when Li Xuewu wasn't paying attention; she was very afraid that Li Xuewu and others would sell her.
From her partner disappearing, to Li Xuewu's fickle attitude, she couldn't help but be vigilant.
The premise of completing the task is to protect yourself well.
If she is now sure that she is in danger, she has the right to get rid of this danger at any time.
But can she get rid of it now?
"Help Miss Yulia with her luggage."
As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, Li Xuewu naturally ordered Sha Qizhi.
Sha Qizhi's cooperation with him was very tacit, and he smiled and reached out to take the luggage in Yulia's hand.
The two didn't speak the same language, and Yulia refused in a panic, but Sha Qizhi only smiled, thinking she was being polite.
Until the hotel staff noticed the situation here, Li Xuewu walked over and explained to both sides.
But he also persuaded Yulia that her luggage was so heavy, she could let them help.
So while Li Xuewu was explaining to Yulia, Sha Qizhi had already taken away her luggage.
"I can do it myself—"
Yulia wanted to get her luggage back, but her hand had already been held by the other party.
"Don't worry, it won't be lost."
Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "You can completely stay with us, which can also save room money."
"Don't worry, I have no malice."
He seemed to want to emphasize this point, smiled and explained to the surprised Yulia, "We have company reimbursement."
"This—is this appropriate?"
Yulia now really had a sense of powerlessness. How could the task be getting smoother and smoother, but her heart was getting less and less bottom?
Isn't she about to complete the task assigned by her superiors? Why does she feel that danger is everywhere?
There was naturally nothing suspicious in her luggage, but the other party's behavior made her feel very presumptuous.
"Nothing, there are many people, and many rooms were booked."
Li Xuewu explained this, but he didn't let go of the hand he was holding.
From the perspective of the hotel staff, the two seemed to be a couple; otherwise, why would they be holding hands?
Even in the relatively open West, holding hands on such an occasion is not an ordinary relationship.
"Help Miss Yulia arrange a room." Just when Sha Qizhi and others finished the procedures and came back, Li Xuewu ordered, "Best next to my room."
This fluency of giving orders made Yulia's eyes brighten; she said she didn't recognize the wrong person, the other party's face was really too prominent.
Being able to command the accompanying personnel to cooperate with his actions, how could he be just a simple product designer?
"Thank you, I really don't know how to thank you." Yulia looked at him with clear and stupid eyes, grateful, and wanted to push the suggestion of eating dinner together again.
Li Xuewu waved his hand with a smile and said, "You're welcome, just a small effort."
He signaled to the others again and said, "Everyone go upstairs to rest for 20 minutes, and gather here in half an hour. Go."
"Leader, the elevator is here."
Sha Qizhi didn't disperse with the crowd, but followed Li Xuewu closely, with the luggage of the three of them in his hand.
At this moment, Yulia was really confused. Could it be that the other party was really interested in her?
Then what was he doing on the train!
"You live in this room." When Sha Qizhi handed the room key to him, Li Xuewu handed one of them to Yulia and said, "Next to my room."
"Thank you, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner in the evening." Yulia pushed the door open and entered the room with a blushing face, and closed the door very embarrassedly.
After Li Xuewu left a few steps, he dispersed the smile on his face and seriously ordered Sha Qizhi, "Arrange two people to stare at her, try not to let her have contact with the outside world, especially those who don't look simple."
Who are those who don't look simple?
The leader's words are easy to understand; it's those who are eager to connect with Yulia.
Li Xuewu wanted to play hard; he had already trapped people here, just to see the other party take the initiative to reveal flaws.
If you don't pull out the people behind the scenes and deal with them in the open, how much effort you put in is in vain.
Of course, this is someone else's territory; how easy is it to pull out the other party?
However, Li Xuewu didn't care about the result of doing so, at least he could ensure the smooth progress of his trip.
If the other party really showed flaws, he wouldn't mind killing two birds with one stone.
"I've been on the train all morning, and I see you're still reading. The academic pressure must be very high."
Li Xuewu knocked on the other party's door very gentlemanly and said with a smile, "The plan has changed. I might be back very soon. You take a nap first and wait for me to come back."
"Okay, I'll wait for you—"
Yulia didn't know what his plan was, nor did she know what changes had occurred.
Of course, she couldn't take the initiative to ask at this time; this is a taboo for undercover agents. She had to pretend to be pure; ignorance is the correct way of expression.
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, turned around, and took Sha Qizhi out, without even changing his clothes.
Yulia stood at the door of the room, watching the figure disappear at the stairs in the middle of the corridor, and her heart moved.
Li Xuewu's room was right next to her room; with her ability, she was fully capable of going in to see.
She had already discovered that Li Xuewu didn't carry that leather document bag when he left, but went empty-handed. What was in that document bag?
She wasn't sure if her guess was right, or if the document bag was handed to someone else by Li Xuewu when the three separated just now.
But this possibility was not high; she was more inclined to believe that the bag contained important documents and was locked in the room by Li Xuewu.
The problem now is, picking the lock is not a problem, but whether there are other people in the room after picking the lock is the problem.
Even if there were no other people, could this person be unprepared?
She was now eager to contact her superiors, even if it was just her partner.
Yulia wanted to ask what state she was in now; she was very afraid of taking a wrong step and being doomed forever.
The other party's attitude was very vague, hot and cold; this care and invitation to dinner before leaving made her feel even more bottomless.
What should she do?
She couldn't stay at the door for too long; it was easy to cause misunderstandings.
So she only had a very short time to think about whether to go to the other party's room to find out.
Clumsy means, trying to cover up only makes the purpose of their trip reveal weirdness everywhere.
The superiors didn't ask her to do which step, but how much benefit credit and achievements can be exchanged for directly supervised and urged her to work hard to complete the task.
Going to his room doesn't necessarily mean she has to pick the lock herself; she can also see it when she goes to the other party's room in the evening.
So, now she has to prepare carefully; the key lies in the emotional exchange at the dinner party.
If she really gets into the same room in one step, she is confident that she has the ability to make this person surrender under her pomegranate skirt.
Of course, black silk is not allowed; white silk is needed.
The indoor temperature of the hotel is very high, so naturally choose a skirt, and it must be a bit shorter, which is convenient for the other party to get their hands in.
Besides these, the padding should be thinner; after all, this time she is a female university student, not an office worker.
Well, she also has to comb it into double ponytails; besides being more pure, it can also increase the other party's speed.
After thinking about these, she returned to the room and opened her suitcase, confirmed that no one had opened it, and then let go of the heart that had been slightly raised, and made full preparations for the evening.
Sigh, another romantic night.
"You didn't move her suitcase, did you?"
Li Xuewu asked Sha Qizhi before walking out of the hotel and getting into the car.
Sha Qizhi shook his head and said, "You didn't order it, so I didn't move it."
"It's right not to move it." Li Xuewu stepped into the minibus and explained, "She must be prepared."
"I also thought of this point."
Sha Qizhi glanced upstairs, not even daring to look a second time, very afraid that the other party would see his abnormality.
"You don't have to be nervous either." Li Xuewu smiled and explained, "She has no aggressiveness."
"Are you sure?" Sha Qizhi frowned and reminded, "I heard that they all have pocket pistols on them."
"You've watched too many movies, right?"
Li Xuewu turned his head away amusedly, looked out the window and said, "The more they have such an identity, the less they will carry these things; there will be no weapons in their handbags."
"Actually, sometimes women can easily solve a strong man without force."
He touched Sha Qizhi's arm with a smile, and the expression on his face had already been read by the other party.
"Why do you have to take risks yourself?"
Sha Qizhi said helplessly, "We don't have to be like this; it's not necessary."
"You are like this every time—"
Perhaps remembering something, he actually complained, "Every time you encounter trouble, you want to do it yourself. Do you not trust our own people or do you think they are too powerful?"
"Alright, your mouth is powerful."
Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "Do you know her background? Is there any good result if you are targeted by them?"
"If you don't pull out this line, our future itinerary will have no peace."
"You must pay attention to safety—"
Sha Qizhi still reminded without relaxing, "Especially be wary of the other party's special means."
"Hmm, I know." Li Xuewu nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.
Actually, Li Xuewu had known this for a long time; taking risks himself was also a helpless move.
He just took Sha Qizhi to the door and said that the plan had changed and he might return early in the afternoon; that was deceiving the other party.
The purpose was to circle the other party in the room to get busy, saving them from going out to connect.
What Li Xuewu has to do now is to isolate Yulia from the other party's contact and let the other party jump over the wall in a hurry.
"There are many shipyards in Warnemünde, and these shipyards belong to a state-owned enterprise."
Sha Qizhi took the initiative to introduce after arriving at the destination, "These enterprises account for more than 30% of East Germany's shipbuilding industry output value, mainly producing cargo ships, container ships, icebreakers, fishing boats, etc."
Li Xuewu looked at the fishing boats in the harbor; the taste of fish and shrimp here was average, but it was affordable.
This is an industrial port; if you go to a traditional fishing port, there are old fishing boats everywhere.
Be realistic, fishing boats are not new and perfect; fishing boats are for going to sea to fish and work; how can they be packed so neatly and cleanly? On the contrary, industrial ships.
Li Xuewu spotted an icebreaker under production parked in the dock at a glance.
It's not that he knows much about the shipbuilding industry, but he can judge the corresponding ship type just by observation.
It was the reminder of the accompanying engineering and technical personnel that Li Xuewu also saw the huge "hammer" on the bow.
The working principle of the icebreaker doesn't need to be explained; it's nothing more than swinging back and forth and left and right, and Li Xuewu also understands.
But it's very difficult to really explain it clearly, so he came, aiming at Rostock's shipbuilding industry.
Clearly it was the automobile industry that was agreed upon, why did he aim at the shipbuilding industry again?
The reason is very simple; it's too far north here, no one pays attention, and the competition pressure is small.
Another point, through preliminary investigations, although the output value of shipbuilding here accounts for one-third of East Germany, there is a lack of industrial foundation here, and the shipbuilding industry is still serving the Western European Strait, and there is Northern Russia pressing on it, so life is not very good.
Preliminary contact has already been made. The Warnemünde Shipyard expressed more surprise at the guests who came from afar. Factory Director Waderich heard the news that the visiting delegation arrived in East Germany, but didn't expect the visiting delegation to really come to Rostock.
This isn't a joke; their shipbuilding technology here is okay, inherited from the original military industry, but this place is already a thing of the past; where is the ability to cooperate again?
In his view, what is truly favored by the visiting delegation should be the steel industry and mechanical industry, even if it is the chemical industry and food industry, it is better than the shipbuilding industry.
If it weren't for occupying a port city and having an old foundation to support it, Waderich really didn't know how long this kind of life could last.
"We have a shipyard in Northeast Asia." Li Xuewu said this straightforwardly when meeting with the shipyard management as a negotiation representative.
He also knew that Westerners don't like to go around in circles, especially managers engaged in heavy industry work.
If you really play fake, then there is no real.
"Only one? Producing what kind of ships?"
Waderich asked curiously, "What is the annual production capacity?"
Actually, if you really ask according to his ideas, asking about annual production capacity is superfluous.
Since you came to Rostock to choose technology, the other party's shipyard can't be much bigger.
"There is only one." Li Xuewu introduced confidently, "We produce fishing boats under 500 tons."
"Oh, fishing boats—"
"Large fishing boats under 800 tons, cargo ships over 1000 tons, large cargo ships over 5000 tons, and container cargo ships of 10,000 to 15,000 tons."
Li Xuewu spoke with a gasp; after the other party said something looking down on him, he talked a lot.
This made Waderich stare straight; do you talk like this? Is this a shipyard?
"We also produce speedboats; this is in cooperation with an Italian brand, and the sales are very impressive."
Can it not be impressive? Those old iron in the Northeast, in order to save enough capital to turn over, worked hard to engage in the small-road economy.
That's right, small-road economy, don't take the big road, don't take the usual road, just go to the sea to make a living.
"Then what is your production capacity?"
Waderich looked at him in surprise and asked, "Producing so many ship types, what is your production capacity?"
"I really don't know about this."
Li Xuewu smiled, and just when the other party breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly said, "I really don't know how many fishing boats and cargo ships were built this year, but I know that three cargo ships of 10,000 tons or more have been delivered."
"What! 10,000-ton cargo ship!"
Waderich's eyes widened like light bulbs, and he looked at Li Xuewu's eyes and emphasized, "You should know the concept of a 10,000-ton cargo ship; there is no room for bragging here."
"I'm not bragging. If you don't believe it, you can go to our place and take a look."
Li Xuewu said with a confident smile, "We have every opportunity to cooperate; I believe this day will not be far away."
"Cooperation, what does your side want to cooperate on?"
Waderich looked at him vigilantly and said, "I did receive the notice issued from above, but I didn't expect you to come here."
"So there is no preparation."
"No need to prepare, this is quite good."
Li Xuewu smiled and said casually while sitting in the conference room, "We hope to get advanced technology from the shipyard, including various large ships."
"As far as I know, you are here to learn new technology." Waderich looked at him cautiously and said, "But you should not know that our shipbuilding technology here is not the most advanced and excellent in the industry."
"That's right, but we also know that the most advanced and excellent technology cannot be taken away."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "We can only settle for the next best thing; choosing Rostock is definitely right."
"Your pragmatism makes me surprised."
Waderich hesitated for a moment and said, "What kind of way do you want to cooperate?"
"Delegated personnel? Need technical support? Or..."
"Why not develop a wider cooperative relationship?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is your side willing to accept shipbuilding orders from Southeast Asia?"
"We can provide venues and equipment, learn together, and progress together."
"Go to Southeast Asia?" Waderich suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him and asked, "Do you want to come to Rostock?" ===== CHAPTER 1512 =====
