Chapter 1512: A White Lotus

"Who can say for sure about the future?"

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said, "You should understand our situation; at least we haven't decided to come out yet."

"Oh, is that so—"

What do you mean you haven't decided to come out yet? Why don't you say you don't have the ability to come out? You have ambition, right?

Waderich looked over the Eastern visitors sitting opposite him suspiciously. Although the social systems of both sides were consistent, the relationship...

"What good does this do for us?"

He asked very straightforwardly, "You don't hope for new technology, and you don't have the desire to land in Rostock. What exactly do you want?"

To be honest, Waderich is a bit confused now.

He is not a stupid person, let alone an arrogant one; on the contrary, he is a very pragmatic person.

Being able to sit in the position of the person in charge of the regional shipyard naturally depends not only on his in-laws' relationship, but also on his own skills and abilities.

The surprise and accident he expressed when they first met were not fake, because he really didn't expect a visiting delegation to visit the Rostock Shipyard.

During this period, staff did come to the shipyard to inspect and investigate, but this is not rare in international trade activities.

So the other party didn't use the banner of this visiting delegation, but came to investigate in the name of the Hong Kong Shunfeng Ocean Shipping Company.

So the surprise is real surprise, and the accident is also real accident.

If you want new technology, there is no need to come to Germany at all, and even if you come to Germany to buy technology, you don't have to come to Rostock.

If you don't want new technology and don't want to build a factory locally, you invite them to go out of Germany to Southeast Asia to undertake orders instead.

Listen to what the other party just said; they are even willing to provide venues and equipment, and are even more willing to share Southeast Asian orders with them.

Are there such good people in the world?

Well, there really are, the one in front of him is one, but he dare not believe it.

So he wants to figure out what the Rostock Shipyard can get and what the other party really wants.

"50% of the net profit of the orders."

Li Xuewu didn't go around in circles and said very directly, "Ship services, office areas, rest areas, equipment and facilities are all provided by us."

"Your side only needs to provide a complete set of shipbuilding technical personnel."

He spread his hands and said frankly, "And the manpower shortage caused by your side sending technical personnel will be supplemented by our side."

"Wait! You mean—"

Waderich was almost confused by him, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him and asked, "Are we sending technical personnel to each other?"

"That's right, for the sake of exchange and learning."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said, "Our side fully guarantees the safety and other rights and interests of your technical personnel working and living at the port."

He tilted his head and emphasized, "We also hope to get technical support and exchange from your side."

"In other words—" Waderich thought for a moment and said, "You are willing to take 50% of the net profit of the orders in exchange for technical support?"

He didn't mention technical exchange at all, because in his view, the technology of Neptune Shipyard and Warnow Shipyard was mediocre, but still better than the other party's.

"It's 50% of the net profit of jointly undertaken orders." Li Xuewu emphasized again, "It also means 50% of the Southeast Asian shipbuilding market."

This is pure nonsense, and Waderich certainly won't believe it.

Saying that 50% of the net profit of joint orders means 50% of the Southeast Asian shipbuilding market, he has never seen anyone who can brag so much.

You mean your shipyard's business volume accounts for more than 50% of the entire Southeast Asian shipbuilding market!

He thought so, but he couldn't immediately refuse the temptation to walk out of the Baltic Sea.

Mecklenburg Bay is too small, even if there are many Nordic countries around, the size of these countries is also too small.

As for shipbuilding, it has to be those countries guarding the Pacific.

History may make mistakes, but it will never be wrong all the time.

Which countries did the shipbuilding industry finally concentrate in? This definitely explains the problem.

Italy's shipbuilding industry developed relatively early, but look at Italy, do they have achievements in large ship projects such as cargo ships and icebreakers?

If you want to talk about luxury high-end ships such as yachts, cruise ships, or passenger ships, then Italians can definitely play new tricks.

You can't train a real navy in a bathtub.

The shipbuilding industry is the same; without a market, where does the business come from? Without business, how can you develop technology and train workers?

This is East Germany. East Germany's shipyards are stepchildren in the Baltic Sea. Except for those Mutual Economic Assistance members, the number of orders from Western Europe can be counted on one's fingers.

If it goes on like this, he even has the heart to organize workers to reclaim wasteland and grow food; at least this way they won't starve to death.

Fortunately, he seems to have found a way to explode orders, the only hesitation is the impact caused by doing so.

Don't look at how well the other party speaks; it looks like cooperation, but it is actually training. The engineers and technical workers of Warnemünde Shipyard go to China to lead the other party's grassroots technical workers to produce.

What about the other way around? The other party's technical engineers and workers come to Warnemünde Shipyard to work together; isn't it still a learning process!

So this is not cooperation, but a clever calculation.

Oh my, Marco Polo was right; Chinese people are the best at calculating, the kind that penetrates every pore.

"How to guarantee our interests?"

Waderich asked straightforwardly, "Don't talk about contracts and guarantees; once your technology is mature, we will lose our role."

"Your definition of technical cooperation is still too narrow." Li Xuewu shook his head with a smile and said, "Why do you insist that our technology is vastly different?"

"That's right, we came to learn technology, and we also want to learn technology."

He nodded slowly and continued, "But we also have our advantages. We are more inclined to, and hope that both sides are standing from the perspective of mutual benefit and mutual help to achieve cooperation and technical exchange."

"You don't have to doubt our equipment and business volume."

Li Xuewu said proudly, "Hongxing Steel Group's Yingcheng Shipbuilding has world-advanced shipbuilding equipment and docks."

"The only thing we lack is a mature technical system and a strict quality management system."

He pointed his finger and emphasized, "Your technology will eventually have a day of falling behind, but you lack the core power for new technology research and development."

"We have this kind of core power. Let's help each other, develop together, and share the future. Isn't that good?"

What is core power?

Waderich is quite clear. Saying it like this is still leaving face for their side. The order volume of Warnemünde Shipyard is indeed not good-looking.

When the order volume comes up, there will be profit, and there will be core power for scientific research. This is the other party's cooperation condition.

"Share new technology?" Waderich looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Do you have technical reserves and research and development capabilities in this regard?"

"If I say yes, do you believe it?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and explained seriously, "Our group has an independent research institute, which is run in cooperation with many universities."

"The Shipbuilding Engineering Research Institute is just one of the units. We have great confidence in the future."

"I understand—" Waderich leaned on the chair and said in a tone that was a bit jealous and a bit regretful, "It is the market that gave you confidence."

"And multi-party cooperation." Li Xuewu smiled indifferently and said, "Yingcheng Shipbuilding has accumulated excellent shipbuilding equipment and technical experience from Italy, France, Japan, and many other parties. We can achieve fair cooperation."

What is fair cooperation?

Don't ask for sky-high prices, and I won't sit on the ground and bargain. Let's be honest and sincere with each other, and won't the cooperation be reached?

"Can our technical personnel use the equipment and materials of the Shipbuilding Engineering Research Institute you just mentioned?"

"Of course, no problem. We will also take the initiative to hire lecturers to provide guidance. You can rest assured about this."

"Let me consider it."

Waderich was still a bit hesitant. He was very worried about Northern Russia's attitude. Once he decided to cooperate, would it attract blame from the other party?

The decline of Warnemünde Shipyard is almost a foregone conclusion. Don't look at the flowers and brocade now, but the real crisis has already been unavoidable.

Others don't know, can these enterprise senior executives not know?

Why did East Germany couldn't help but contact the West a few years later, why did the economic crisis occur more than ten years later, and why did East German enterprises break down one after another almost overnight after the East and West merged?

The reason is very simple; it takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep. East Berlin and the southern industrial zone have the support of Northern Russia and can't see it, but the Rostock area has long revealed the decadence of the industrial system.

To talk about the shipbuilding industry, Northern Russia has absolute influence. Where in the joint system are there orders to be divided among these small characters?

If it weren't for Neptune Shipyard and Warnow Shipyard using their income in the early post-war period to pay reparations, they wouldn't even be given these orders.

Now Rostock, with a population of more than 100,000, is experiencing population loss every year, and the pressure on the shipyard is conceivable.

"You have to make a decision as soon as possible."

Li Xuewu was very serious, but also explained frankly enough, "I can only give you one night. I will leave tomorrow morning."

He pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, our group also has the automobile industry, so we must rush to Leipzig."

Sha Qizhi, who was sitting behind him, twitched the corner of his mouth and lowered his head to look at the document in his hand. The leader's negotiation art was beyond his reach.

The reason for going to Leipzig is really sufficient; it can be used everywhere, as if the group is eager to compete for the automobile production technology of Leipzig.

Especially the W50 truck project that everyone is jealous of, this is the engineering construction foundation project that the country needs most.

Thinking about it makes it interesting. Everyone is fighting, and the Red Star Factory is also fighting, but who is really fighting and who is acting, it's impossible to distinguish.

Anyway, he knows that the Secretary-General has no interest in W50 technology, and the reason for attacking the bomber and fighter engine technology of Ludwigshafen Industry.

The Secretary-General wants jet engines for aircraft, marine diesel engines, and machine tool and its supporting parts production technology too much.

Once the engine production technology is mastered, resources can be integrated to build a supply chain system for the aircraft manufacturing industry.

Marine diesel engine and machine tool production technology are the same.

Liaodong's industrial production and Tianjin's parts supply chain system must complement each other.

Don't consider and worry about Beijing Auto gathering other car companies to form an independent supply chain system; both sides are no longer in the same dimension.

Even if Beijing Auto and other car companies break the supply chain technical barriers set by Red Star Steel Group, what can they do?

It's nothing more than continuing to compete.

Steel Auto has almost all passenger car and military vehicle models except trucks, and its production capacity is second to none in the country.

The consumption of parts can fully support the basic order volume of a supply chain, and the rest is left to partners.

What should those provincial or municipal, or even county and town-level automobile industrial enterprises do if big enterprises like Beijing Auto and No. 17 Factory can hug each other for warmth and build a supply chain system together?

These small car companies cannot get the cooperation resources of big enterprises, and cooperation with Red Star Steel Group's supply chain is more universal.

You say there is also the automobile industry in the town?

This is definitely not a joke. Many large groups and large enterprises in later generations were street enterprises and village enterprises at first.

After unifying production specifications for engines, chassis, and various parts, building cars seems to have become an industry that anyone can do.

Let's put it this way, a certain county has abundant labor resources, and workers cannot be resettled, so an automobile manufacturing plant is established.

There is no need to work hard to purchase and order parts from all over the country. You only need to select the parts required for assembling cars from the Red Star Steel Group's automobile parts supply warehouse and make transportation and inventory preparations.

The rest?

It doesn't necessarily have to buy assembly line equipment, right.

Not having this part of the budget is one reason, and not having supporting technology and workers is also one reason.

Anyway, personnel are abundant, and workers cannot be resettled, so manual assembly is used. The assembly line is not there, but moving racks can still be made.

In this era, the automobile industry is on the eve of an outbreak due to the establishment of Red Star Steel Group.

The market is facing severe challenges.

There are only so many units that can afford cars, but the production capacity and selling price of cars, as well as the local protection system, are very complicated.

So the cars produced by Steel Auto have set up sales channels all over the country, but they can't stop these small workshops from opening.

At present, the selling price of 212 is still maintained at 20,000 yuan per unit, and in some areas, it can even be sold for 30,000 yuan.

This is still the case when Red Star Hongxing Lingyang has developed a second-generation model and is sold nationwide.

With 212 maintaining the car price, these small car companies don't imitate others, but specifically imitate 212.

Just look, the 212s in the country are all kinds of things. From a distance, the appearance is no different, but up close... it's unwatchable.

An appearance similar to 212, covering the entire car system of Hongxing Lingyang Generation I, this has achieved partial complementary advantages.

When 212 was not yet equipped with heaters and radios, the pirated cars used them first.

It's just that the disadvantages of this kind of car are also very obvious, combining the shortcomings of Hongxing Lingyang Generation I and the shortcomings of 212, which can be described as extreme polarization.

Someone asked, since they imitated it, and used the entire car system of Hongxing Lingyang Generation I, why must they put on a 212 shell?

Hongxing Lingyang's most impressive thing is its appearance. Isn't such a design putting the cart before the horse?

This question is not decided by who imitates whom. Steel Auto has never seriously criticized the act of imitating Hongxing Lingyang cars, because there is no patent law in this era.

Imitating 212 is because 212's selling price is high, and they can sell it by lowering the price.

Imitating Hongxing Lingyang Generation I, isn't that nonsense? They are manual operations, can they compare with Steel Auto's assembly line production costs?

If you sell the cars in your hand at the selling price of Hongxing Lingyang Generation I, it is no different from pulling coal from Pingdingshan to sell to Datong, Shanxi.

This also caused a funny phenomenon. The circle headed by Beijing Auto criticized and boycotted this kind of shoddy "spliced cars" and "hand-assembled cars" while excluding these small car companies.

And these small car companies, in the case of being unable to get the cooperation resources of big enterprises, can only rely more on Red Star Steel Group's supply chain.

When facing competitive pressure, they can only crazily imitate 212 cars.

The result?

Beijing Auto is naturally dissatisfied with the initiator Red Star Steel Group, but they cannot produce evidence to accuse the unreasonableness of the Red Star supply chain.

Because in essence, the Red Star supply chain only provides parts for automobile system assembly and does not include automobile shells.

In other words, if the common people have the conditions, they can fully purchase a batch of parts according to the parts list and take them home to assemble cars by themselves.

Whether you use shoelaces or iron wire, the supply chain doesn't care about you, because the supply chain doesn't sell cars, so it can't be called a violation.

So the situation now is that Beijing Auto knows who did the bad things, but they dare not scold the street openly.

Because Old Li is more routing and better at scolding the street than them.

Because of this competition and contradiction, big car companies fight openly and secretly, and after coming to East Germany, they are full of tricks and guard against each other.

Li Xuewu is also terribly bad. The technical procurement team of Red Star Steel Group he led clearly has no interest in W50 and other automobile technologies, but he insists on making a posture of being a stirrer who is determined to win.

That's right, everyone in the circle calls them stirrers.

They don't do the good steel industry, but insist on crossing the line, and they do it so well and so absolutely, how can they live?

So Li Xuewu shouted that he must go to Leipzig and must bring W50 back to Red Star Steel Group.

So unsurprisingly, almost all enterprises showed concern and interest in W50.

Coupled with the fact that the meeting between Deputy Director Li and the person in charge of the East German Economic Committee was not ideal, everyone wanted to get the first prize in technical cooperation.

The previous cooperation negotiations were shelved; isn't this just the opportunity for these "miscellaneous troops" to perform?

Even if it's grabbing, they have to bring the best truck in East Germany back, because even if they can't use it themselves, they can exchange benefits with car companies.

Where is the next target for Li Xuewu, who is feinting and watching the fun?

Don't ask, Sha Qizhi doesn't know either.

Because the next target must be when the time is ripe, Li Xuewu will rush over at the critical moment to make the final decision.

Preliminary work is all in progress, and someone who can make the final decision is needed, and Li Xuewu is the person who makes the final decision when Red Star Steel Group comes to East Germany.

Of course, nominally, the final decision-maker is Li Huai De, who is talking nonsense at the Leipzig hotel, and he acts according to Li Xuewu's phone call.

If Li Xuewu can win the shipyard cooperation project in Rostock, Old Li will immediately notify the visiting delegation working group at the hotel and start his performance time.

The working group of Red Star Steel Group won a certain project under his leadership, which is gratifying!

Everyone wants to fight for the first place. Is the first place so easy to fight for?

Li Xuewu pinned his hopes on Rostock, but Waderich was very surprised by his urgency.

"You only have one day?"

"No, not me, it's you."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and emphasized very seriously, "If you can't give me your decision before tomorrow morning, we can only give up the work here. Our schedule is very tight."

"Your enterprise produces both ships and cars?" Waderich didn't quite believe it, and his eyes revealed an attitude of "you are bragging."

"That's right, there are also the food industry and hardware industry."

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "In addition, we also produce helicopters, construction companies, energy companies, etc."

He said very helplessly, "A large group enterprise, you should be able to understand how tight my time is."

Can I understand? I can understand a fart!

Vasily looked at him speechlessly, thinking, I'm not the person in charge of a large group enterprise.

Look at how capable you are; you're only in your twenties, right!

"Even if a cooperation agreement is signed, it depends on actual action, right?" Li Xuewu could see the suspicion in the other party's eyes and said indifferently, "We very much welcome you and the comrades of the shipyard to visit the group."

"Being able to inspect and investigate on the spot will also be helpful for our next cooperation."

Oh, seeing is believing?

This made Waderich a bit surprised. Could it be that what he said was all true?

"You don't believe me, but you have to believe the qualification review of our group's visit by your Economic Committee, right?"

Li Xuewu raised his chin with a smile and said, "You have a whole night to investigate our information, as long as you can catch up with the signing."

"Not really—" Seeing that Li Xuewu said so, Waderich seemed to have no reason to continue doubting.

However, he still decided to contact the Economic Committee to investigate the background and strength of this Chinese company immediately after the conversation between the two sides ended.

At the same time, he also had to report the content of this cooperation.

Yes, after fully considering the pros and cons of this cooperation, Waderich decided to use the word cooperation when reporting, rather than technical cooperation, or exchange.

He is very clear that once the word technical exchange is used, it will definitely encounter obstacles from Northern Russia.

Waderich doesn't want to be a historical sinner of Warnemünde Shipyard. At least they have no loss in this kind of cooperation, right?

The order volume is decreasing, and engineering and technical personnel have nothing to do. Can't they go out to earn some extra money?

"One last question." Waderich frowned slightly and looked into his eyes and asked, "You should know that the shipbuilding industry is the same as the automobile industry; it is a system project."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Many parts of our shipyard are not produced independently, and some technologies need to rely on other countries and enterprises. Are you sure there is the technology you want here?"

"Do you know? Technology is not important."

Li Xuewu leaned forward slightly, looked at him and explained softly, "What's important is to let some parties know that we have such technology."

He raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Once they think we have such technology, we will naturally have these technologies."

"As for parts and materials."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "We even have the technology, so are we still short of materials that come to us voluntarily? They want products more!"

"..." Waderich understood everything. Where is the enterprise represented by this young man here to buy technology? It is clearly here to...

That's right, Neptune Shipyard and Warnow Shipyard in Warnemünde can give the other party sufficient reasons for technical control, which can be used to threaten other partners to sell the same or even better and more advanced shipbuilding technology.

Conversely, when having technology, the party that invests more hopes to get returns from the enterprise quickly.

Isn't this just a middleman making the difference!

Thinking of the technical cooperation parties mentioned by the other party just now, such as Italy, France, and Japan, he also completely understood the other party's strategy.

Damn it, eating from both ends of society and capital!

Does this mean that they can get shipbuilding orders provided by the capitalist world when they go to the other party's shipyard?

Then wouldn't they become traitors—

But thinking of the massive orders waiting there, he felt that being a traitor was not bad. Anyway, Northern Russia didn't treat them as their own people.

Once he figured it out, his confidence in their little technical advantage was not so strong. This cooperation is indeed a win-win.

Shipbuilding is indeed a system project, but the other party only needs their technology and quality management system. Even the equipment is not theirs, so what parts and subsystems are they talking about.

East German technology, Western equipment, building ships needed in Southeast Asia, the person who designed this set of economic cooperation theory is really a talent.

"What aspect of work are you responsible for in your company?"

Waderich suddenly became interested in Li Xuewu and asked, "Is this cooperation method your innovation?"

"This is the wisdom of the collective and the result of unity."

Li Xuewu knew that this project was done, stood up with a smile and extended his right hand, saying, "Then let's wish our cooperation success and everything goes well."

"Everything goes well..."

Waderich couldn't catch his witty remarks, but the smile on his face revealed his yearning and sincerity for capital.

The other party is also a socialist country, but they also do middlemen who earn the difference. Aren't they worse than traitors?

So cooperating with the other party, he has no pressure.

"Where are you resting tonight?"

Just as they were parting, Waderich invited enthusiastically, "If there is no suitable choice, our reception room welcomes you and your team."

"Fisherman Hotel, the room has already been booked." Li Xuewu reported the resting place for tonight very frankly, and every word was sincere.

"We all want to see the scenery of Rostock Port in the morning. I heard it is a choice you absolutely cannot miss."

"Hehehe—" Waderich nodded with a smile and said with a double meaning, "It seems you are well prepared, then I won't keep you."

"I look forward to your reply—"

Li Xuewu shook hands with him again before getting in the car and said, "I also hope the cooperation is successful, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Waderich waved his hand and said, "If the cooperation can be reached, I will definitely give you a rare gift."

"I very much want a German version of 'Mein Kampf'."

Li Xuewu sat in the car and told Waderich the gift he most wanted from the lowered car window.

When the car started, Sha Qizhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, clearly saw that Waderich outside the car window was no longer smiling.

Looking from the rearview mirror again, the other party stood there speechlessly, letting his hair mess up in the wind.

Standing in the wind and messing up was not only Waderich, but also Yulia.

Said she would be back soon...

Said they would have a romantic dinner together...

Said...

Damn it!

The makeup was done, the white silk was worn, and even the padding was hit to the appropriate standard, absolutely ensuring that the headlights wouldn't shake.

But! Where are you!

Yulia looked at the time on the wall, and then at the time on her hand, confirming that there was no time that was inaccurate.

However! It's 8:30, are you planning to have a midnight snack with me?

She was about to bite her teeth off, looking at the stars in the distance, as well as the light and shadow of the lighthouse in the distance, her heart was haggard beyond description.

"I still prefer local dairy cows..."

Bursts of discussion came from the corridor that was not very soundproof. Yulia, who could understand Chinese, naturally knew who had returned.

Dairy cows! Still dairy cows!

She was really going crazy. Is there such a way to fish! If you want me to take the bait, you have to throw the hook down!

Click—

The sound of opening the door rang out. She confirmed that the other party walked past her room, and then... opened his own room?

Did you forget me?

If you really forgot me, why did you have to say things like dairy cows to fish me?

It's really damn it. No wonder this task was raised to so many levels by the superiors. It's not for nothing, it's not for nothing!

Since the other party didn't come to find her, she could only take the initiative to find the other party.

Of course, at this time, she couldn't go over in this outfit.

Click—

After changing into pajamas, Yulia rubbed her eyes, walked out of the door with sleepy eyes, and looked at the room next door.

Just right, Li Xuewu was talking softly with his entourage at the door. She couldn't hear clearly, but it was definitely not about buying dairy cows.

"You're back—"

There was no resentment, let alone any surprise, only the ignorance of just waking up, as if she were sleepwalking.

This is what a female university student should look like.

"Oh, sorry, I'm back late."

Li Xuewu looked at her apologetically and took the initiative to explain, "The car broke down on the way back. Because I couldn't find a repair shop, I had to walk back."

"Oh, so that's how it is—"

Yulia endured her anger, closed her eyes and yawned a big yawn, as if the sleepiness was still there.

The leather shoes on his feet didn't have a bit of mud; he didn't even want to act, right? Did he really take me as a female university student who knows nothing?

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, really sorry."

Li Xuewu expressed his apology again, spread his hands and said, "I should have come back earlier. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I fell asleep waiting for you." Yulia walked to his side, looked at the person who took the initiative to leave, and asked Li Xuewu, "Can I still find something to eat now?"

"The hotel should provide hot food."

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Do you want to try your luck with me at the restaurant?"

"Why not?" Yulia smiled understandingly and said, "I also want to hear about your encounter this afternoon."

"Don't mention it, that was really a nightmare."

Li Xuewu waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let's go, I hope the restaurant hasn't closed yet. I'm about to starve to death."

"What about your team?"

Yulia looked at the other rooms suspiciously; no one wanted to come out to find food. Could it be that they weren't hungry?

"They have to rest and change their dirty clothes."

Li Xuewu spread his hands to show his own, and said, "I also just changed into a set of clothes and came out."

I believe you, a ghost—

Yulia nodded with a smile and said, "Then your speed is really fast."

Is this considered scolding someone?

Li Xuewu glanced at this girl and asked, "You didn't go out for a walk this afternoon? Just alone in the room?"

"Yeah, I was waiting for you—"

Yulia showed faint dissatisfaction at this time, turned around and signaled her room, and said, "I'll go change my clothes, you wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party entering the door, and glanced at the room opposite.

Knock knock—

A light knock on the door sounded, indicating that there was someone opposite. This was the security personnel they left behind when they left at noon.

Since he said he would focus on monitoring Yulia, Li Xuewu would definitely not let go of this butterfly. No matter if she was poisonous or not, it had to be handled properly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting—"

Yulia, who re-tied her double ponytails and changed into a white silk short skirt, walked out gracefully, as if she had forgotten the depression of waiting for nothing all afternoon, and walked over to hold his arm lightly with a smile.

Huh? A bit of material—

Li Xuewu didn't care about her closeness, talked about the encounter in the afternoon with a smile, and took the other party into the elevator.

Sha Qizhi originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by the security personnel, because the Secretary-General had just explained to them what to do.

Just now, someone was waiting on the floor where the restaurant was located. In this hotel, could the other party still turn the sky?

Unless the girl is willing to lose face and squat down in the elevator...

Imagine, the elevator door opens, a girl stands up and wipes her mouth. What would people who see it think?

Of course, it's not thinking "Is it that fast?", but stereotypically thinking that the two have a situation.

If it can be photographed, it will definitely become a story-filled news.

This is called yellow mud falling into the crotch; if it's not shit, it's shit.

Li Xuewu certainly wouldn't allow this to happen. He deliberately kept standing parallel to Yulia, not giving the other party a chance to squat down.

"Are you and your colleagues really here in Rostock to buy dairy cows?"

Yulia listened to his serious nonsense, feeling angry in her heart, but asked amusedly, "Then did you buy them?"

"As you can see, no—"

Li Xuewu spread his hands helplessly and said, "Our team has different opinions. I am very optimistic about the dairy cows here, but they said..."

"Said what?" Yulia was curious this time and asked.

"Said the milk of the dairy cows here is too small." He walked in front, without looking back and said, "Said the milk of the dairy cows is too small."

"..." Yulia lowered her head and looked at herself for no reason, a breath didn't come up, almost suffocating herself.

Alright, alright, this is saying I'm small, right!

If it weren't for pretending to be pure, and the padding was hit less, I could have suffocated an F for you, do you believe it!

"Hehe—you guys still look at this." Yulia smiled and said, "I basically don't understand agricultural knowledge."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just saying it casually." Li Xuewu took her to the front desk and asked the waiter, "Excuse me, is the restaurant still open?"

"Sorry sir, the restaurant has closed." The waiter replied very mechanically, "However, the kitchen has delivery service."

"Is that so?" Li Xuewu frowned, looked at the closed restaurant door, turned to look at Yulia and asked, "Then... go to my room to eat? Will this be too wrong for you."

"This sentence should be asked by me." Yulia said understandingly, "It is for me to repay your generosity. If you don't mind, this meal must be paid by me."

"Then help us send it to the room."

Li Xuewu didn't care about Yulia's politeness, and ordered a few German specialty dishes on the menu handed over by the waiter.

No need to ask, except for sausages, it's ham, or stewed meat.

Yulia also ordered salad and fruit for herself while he was ordering. She had waited until so late, and she didn't want to wrong herself.

Clearly about to starve to death, but still have to pretend to be in a good mood. This job is not easy—

"I'll pay—"

"Forget it, I'll take your heart."

Just when Yulia decided to take out her wallet, Li Xuewu grabbed her hand with a smile and said to the waiter, "Charge it to my room."

"How can this be, I clearly agreed to treat—"

Yulia still wanted to insist, but her hand was held by the other party, and she couldn't take out the money.

"That's it, let's go back upstairs and wait for the meal."

Li Xuewu didn't care about her politeness, pulled her hand and walked back, saying with a smile, "This meal counts as your treat, I'll pay."

"Then how embarrassing~"

Yulia saw that the other party had already held her hand; this was the fish taking the bait, and she had to take the other party's bait too.

She pretended to be delicate and said, "I want to thank you."

"It's not too late to thank me slowly—"

Li Xuewu was not in a hurry, and his gentlemanly temperament was indeed easy to take down a female university student who had not yet entered the world.

But Yulia was not; she had seen too many such men.

Showing a little bit of wisdom, showing generosity in front of the girl, and then taking the opportunity to show his financial resources or achievements, so as to gain the other party's worship.

When a female university student who has just entered the world worships a man, the distance to her fall is not far away.

Returning to the elevator, clearly Li Xuewu had let go of her hand to let her go first, but at this moment she took the initiative to hold him again.

When Li Xuewu looked down, what greeted him was Yulia's bright and shy gaze, which contained worship and admiration.

I know everything you want, I can give you all the emotional value you want, why don't you obediently come into my bowl?

"Your smile is very beautiful, like the sunshine in winter, dazzling, warm, and even more like a white lotus."

Li Xuewu's praise made Yulia lower her head shyly, looking at her toes proudly and saying, "Thank you—"

"No need to be polite, this is what you deserve."

Gurgle—

The discordant sound disturbed this romance, making Yulia blush extremely, her stomach was too unpromising—

"My fault, shouldn't have let you go hungry."

Li Xuewu pretended to be helpless and took the responsibility on himself, saying guiltily, "Should have known, I wouldn't have gone out in the afternoon."

"It doesn't matter, I also have fault."

Yulia naturally couldn't watch him blame himself, and took the initiative to explain, "If I hadn't fallen asleep, I wouldn't have missed the meal time."

"You must eat more in a while." Li Xuewu looked at her gently and emphasized, "Consider it my compensation to you."

In the room opposite, Sha Qizhi turned his head and glanced at the substitute security guard... and the table full of food.

Even if they recorded all their accounts on that girl, they didn't have to eat like this, right? Eating an enemy? ===== CHAPTER 1513 =====

Even if they charged all of their expenses to that young lady, there was no need to eat like that, was there? Were they trying to eat their enemy?
