Chapter 1607: New World: Never Compromise

"Have you thought carefully about what I said to you last time?"

Li Xuewu looked down at her and asked, "Girls don't have much capital to play in the world, especially intellectuals like you."

"But at least one can live a carefree life, right?" Shangguan Qi hesitated, but still didn't let go of his arm, pursed her lips, and asked, "Will you be good to me?"

"Heh—" Li Xuewu had a smile on his lips, looked at her playfully, and said, "You walk into a forest, will you ask a tiger not to eat you?"

"But I'm worth it." Shangguan Qi keenly understood the deep meaning behind his words, looked up at him firmly, and said, "I definitely won't let you down."

"I hope you won't regret it." Li Xuewu gently shook off her arm, but when she looked lonely, he reached out his hand and said faintly, "Welcome to the animal world."

"Such a life will be very interesting, right?" She couldn't describe what kind of feeling she had in her heart right now. She was both full of fantasies about the unknown world and felt lost and afraid of this unknown. It was the trembling of encountering danger, and also the curiosity of a novel journey.

"Of course, very interesting."

Li Xuewu shook her hand, firmly and powerfully, and even pulled her up from her seat, smiled slightly, and said, "Then let's start with tonight's dinner."

Shangguan Qi had never thought that she would step into the gate of the new world at such a fast speed, and hadn't even seen the appearance of the gate clearly before she was already in the game.

"Secretary-General, the leader is waiting for you upstairs."

The Gemini stopped in front of Qinyuan Chun. Li Xuewu pushed open the car door and got out of the car under Zhang Wei's surprised gaze, but the other party's reaction was quite agile.

Zhang Wei was a secretary brought over from Steel City by Dong Wenxue. He was very young, but he was usable.

He naturally knew Shangguan Qi, and he also knew Shangguan Qi's car, because there weren't many people in the factory who could afford a car, not to mention that the other party was also a cadre in the technical system.

What surprised him was that the Secretary-General actually came in her car, and it looked like he had deliberately brought her to attend today's dinner. What was the situation?

"Hello, Director Zhang."

"Don't, you should still call me Zhang Wei."

Zhang Wei saw her call him Director, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Otherwise I can only call you Officer Guan."

"That's fine, you can also call me by my name."

Shangguan Qi smiled. In front of Li Xuewu, she didn't argue much about this with the other party.

At this time, Li Xuewu had already stepped into the lobby. The two of them greeted each other and then quickly followed.

The reception system was reformed, the reception center and the hotel were managed in parallel, and both belonged to the reception service company, so the manager here had also been replaced by a new person.

However, he wasn't unfamiliar with him, and Li Xuewu could even call out the other party's name.

"Secretary-General, Deputy Director Dong is upstairs."

The manager had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing him come in, he raised his hand to gesture toward the stairs, and politely wanted to see him off.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and stepped onto the stairs.

The manager looked at Zhang Wei who came in. Seeing that he had no other instructions, he sensibly didn't follow him upstairs, but just urged the waiter to be more careful.

The private room door was open. As soon as Li Xuewu arrived at the door, he saw Dong Wenxue sitting in the inner seat drinking tea, while Yu Decai was standing on the side holding a teapot, looking like he had just finished pouring tea.

"Secretary-General, you're here." Yu Decai put down the teapot, his face hung with a few apologetic smiles, and he took the initiative to greet him.

Li Xuewu nodded slightly without paying much attention to him, walked into the private room, and greeted Dong Wenxue, "Teacher."

"Better save that 'teacher' for later; it's quite eye-catching now." Dong Wenxue smiled, waved his hand, and gestured for him to sit down and talk, "In private, just call me big brother, or call me comrade."

"Heh—" Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "If I call you comrade, Teacher Han won't scold me for forgetting my origins and being ungrateful."

"Heh heh heh—" Dong Wenxue laughed bitterly, glanced at him; he didn't expect Li Xuewu to hold such a grudge, his mouth was still so unforgiving.

And Yu Decai, who was standing on the side, had his face change several times, but in the end, he held back and didn't speak. He had actively organized this meal today, and the meaning was self-evident: accompany drinking, admit mistakes.

"Hello, Deputy Director Dong." Shangguan Qi entered the room under Zhang Wei's concession. Seeing Li Xuewu finish his pleasantries, she then took the initiative to greet him.

Of course, she didn't forget Yu Decai, "Hello, Manager Yu."

"Shangguan Qi." Dong Wenxue knew her, smiled, nodded, and asked, "Is your father doing well?"

"Very well." Shangguan Qi smiled and said, "He also wanted to ask about the progress of your computer introduction work."

"Heh—" Dong Wenxue rubbed his forehead bitterly, looked at Li Xuewu, and explained, "You have to think of a way for this matter. The IBM360 given to United Savings the year before last isn't enough. Because of fighting for this computer, they almost started a fight, and they submitted a report to me asking to buy another one."

"Still want a 360?" Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Shangguan Qi and asked, "Why haven't you told me about this?"

"That—" Shangguan Qi was hesitant when asked by him, and explained embarrassedly, "It was a suggestion my father made when Deputy Director Dong came for research."

Dong Wenxue's gaze turned back and forth between the two several times before he turned his head to wave at Yu Decai and Zhang Wei, gesturing for them to sit down as well.

This sounded quite ambiguous, as if the relationship between Li Xuewu and Shangguan Qi was very close, and such a request should have been discussed with him first.

Especially when combined with Shangguan Qi's astonishment and blushing, did they really have something going on?

Dong Wenxue couldn't grasp Li Xuewu's pulse now, and didn't know what kind of things he would do if he went crazy.

This time, the other party came aggressively, extremely viciously, and could be considered to have touched his reverse scale.

And as luck would have it, Yu Decai bumped into his muzzle.

This student, he didn't even dare to call himself a teacher now. The polite correction just now also showed his intention.

He took a step back on his own initiative, and also asked Li Xuewu to be tolerant and magnanimous, and let Yu Decai go.

However, Li Xuewu used a joke to damage Yu Decai, but didn't mention the teacher title. It seemed that he didn't care, and he didn't care either.

Or rather, this title wasn't that important in the relationship between each other.

Besides, Shangguan Qi, he didn't expect Li Xuewu to bring her to the banquet, neither up nor down, how could Yu Decai open his mouth to speak?

Shangguan Qi actually saw that the atmosphere today wasn't normal as soon as she entered the door, and had been trying hard to think, wanting to keep up with the rhythm.

But Li Xuewu's sentence just now confused her. Were they already this close? Talking about everything? Or were they using her to cause a misunderstanding to express something?

Oh my, this new world is so difficult!

The pre-ordered dishes were served quickly. With the waiter's meticulousness, today's dinner looked particularly satisfactory.

"IBM has updated the 360 model." Following the previous topic, Shangguan Qi introduced the computer her father had taken a fancy to for Li Xuewu and Dong Wenxue.

"Because the 85 model introduced a high-speed cache memory, it can provide high-priority data 12 times faster than before."

When she spoke to this point and saw Deputy Director Dong frown slightly, she took the initiative to stop and ask, "Am I being too complicated?"

"Cache, it's a reservoir."

Li Xuewu used a very vivid metaphor, "A technology to improve the computing speed of a computer system."

After speaking, he also looked at Shangguan Qi and asked, "Intel technology?"

"Heh—" Shangguan Qi smiled and looked at him, saying, "You still know more than I do."

"Heh—" Li Xuewu also smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, looked at Dong Wenxue, who had a probing meaning in his eyes, and said, "Intellectuals are also dirty when they scold people."

"No—I didn't—" Shangguan Qi was anxious when she saw him misunderstand, and wanted to explain, but her anxious appearance made Dong Wenxue and the others laugh.

Yu Decai accompanied him with a smile carefully, his eyes sweeping over the other party, hesitating about which angle to cut into the topic. He couldn't come here for nothing today.

But Li Xuewu didn't seem to be in a hurry. The topic still revolved around the computer he had seen but couldn't understand, making him dizzy and confused.

"Has the Steel City matter been resolved?"

After a long while, the two finally finalized the promotion procedure for the computer introduction work, and Dong Wenxue turned the topic back in his anxious gaze.

"Did Wang Xin go to you too?" Li Xuewu looked at him unexpectedly, picked up his wine glass, took a sip of white wine, and said, "He has a wide range of social contacts."

"Director Zhang of the Third Ministry of Machine Building greeted me."

Dong Wenxue picked up the wet towel on the table to wipe his hands and explained very bluntly, "If there was no endorsement from him, no one would dare to stand up and coordinate this matter."

"He's just wiping the butt for the other side; do you expect me to appreciate his favor?" Li Xuewu picked up a piece of food calmly and said without any waves, "This matter isn't over."

He didn't ask Dong Wenxue whether his efforts in this matter were for him or for Gu An. Politics didn't need reasons and processes, only results.

"Didn't he go to you?" Dong Wenxue frowned and said, "He said he would provide a sincere answer according to your requirements."

"Hmm, I received the answer." Li Xuewu put down his chopsticks and looked at him, saying, "I also agreed. There's no need to involve Gu An in this matter."

"He doesn't blame you." Dong Wenxue nodded slightly and said, "He said this is a matter between the two of you; it's impossible to let you bear the pressure alone."

"Heh—" Li Xuewu chuckled, lowered his head slightly, and said, "I'm really afraid that after he goes back... forget it, let's not talk about it."

"No one dares to threaten him." Dong Wenxue suddenly changed his face, pointed at the dining table seriously, and emphasized, "Don't tell me they still want to retaliate and kill him to silence him?"

"Then what about framing and implicating?" Li Xuewu raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him, and asked, "Are you sure the person behind the scenes won't jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"What are you worried about? Who are you suspecting?" Dong Wenxue frowned and stared into his eyes, asking, "Have you told Gu An about this?"

"Of course, he is Gu Ning's big brother."

Li Xuewu picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp, saying faintly, "And I told Jin Ling about these things a long time ago. He didn't know, so he bumped into it."

"Was it a while ago..." Dong Wenxue widened his eyes, looked at him, and asked, "Was it the time Xiao Ning took the children to Jin Ling?"

Zhang Wei had long since left the table, not knowing what he was doing. Anyway, the words in this private room weren't something he could listen to. Helping to watch the door of the private room was his work.

And Yu Decai, who couldn't leave and didn't dare to leave, was on pins and needles, his face changing when he heard this.

He finally understood why Li Xuewu held such a grudge against his slow reaction. Under the numbness, the hand holding the wine glass was trembling a little.

"The Steel Flight matter isn't the end, but the beginning." Li Xuewu raised his eyes, stared at Dong Wenxue, and reminded him, "This matter isn't over, and it can't be over."

"But Director Zhang promised that this matter ends here," Dong Wenxue narrowed his eyes and emphasized, "With Shenfei bearing all the responsibility, what are you still worried about?"

"Shenfei?" Li Xuewu sneered, "They can't bear it, and Director Zhang can't either. His shoulders are too narrow."

"Are you saying—" Dong Wenxue suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, looked at him in disbelief, and said, "What does he want so many planes for?"

"Don't know, maybe flying for fun?"

Li Xuewu lowered his head and said faintly, "I just know that once something happens, where the planes came from, who handled them, following this line will be investigated to the end."

"I don't have any intention of padding the coffin bottom for others." He said with a hint of reminder in his tone, "When the time comes, there might not be time or opportunity to defend yourself."

"Secretary-General..." Yu Decai finally knew fear, stood up with his wine glass, his voice trembling as he said, "Please criticize me."

"Manager Yu." Li Xuewu finally looked at him directly, but the cold light in his narrowed eyes seemed to pierce through people's hearts, "You are proud."

"I'm sorry, Secretary-General." Yu Decai's hand was trembling, the wine liquid swaying, just like his heart couldn't calmly face today's conversation.

"Once a person is proud, they will be complacent."

Li Xuewu raised his wine glass to respond to his toast and said faintly, "In the process of self-expansion, you will lose your direction."

"Still need to be steady, look at the road you came from, and look at the road now. Sometimes once a person falls, it's very difficult to climb up again, Manager Yu."

"Secretary-General..." He saw Li Xuewu finish his wine after speaking. He didn't know whether he should apologize or drink. The other party didn't seem to give him a chance to apologize. This wine tasted like a knife in his mouth, scraping bones and intestines, regretting it too late.

"Let's stop here today. Xiao Ning and the children are still waiting for me at home."

Li Xuewu only finished talking about things and didn't linger on the wine in the cup and the food on the plate. He nodded to Dong Wenxue, who was still frowning, and got up and walked out.

Shangguan Qi got up and followed, not daring to disturb the thoughtful Deputy Director Dong, nodded to Manager Yu, who was still standing with a bitter face, and chased out quickly.

After a long while, Dong Wenxue turned his head, looked at Yu Decai on the side, and sighed, "Decai, how did that saying go?"

"Oh, right." He patted his forehead and said, "The machine calculation is too clever, but it miscalculated one's own life."

After saying this, he shook his head helplessly and said regretfully, "Go, go to Liaodong, go to Yingcheng. The port area is under construction. This is an opportunity for you."

On July 7th, Lv Yuanshen, the factory director of Steel City Automobile Manufacturing Plant, was transferred to be the manager of the Group's Quality and Safety Department, and the former Quality and Safety Department manager Yu Decai was transferred to be the director of the Yingcheng Port Area Management Committee.

In the cadre appointment and removal briefing published at the same time, there was also the name of Shangguan Qi. She concurrently served as the director of the Technical Research Office of the Comprehensive Division of the Technical Development Department (Section Chief level).

"How should this agreement be signed?" Wang Xin pinched his eyebrows, stood in front of Li Xuewu's desk, and said helplessly, "You don't want to continue the cooperation at all, right?"

He lowered his arm, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the bastard opposite him, asking, "Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys? Are we the chicken?"

"Don't overestimate yourself." Li Xuewu glanced at him and said faintly, "I reminded you, I won't give you all the opportunity to make wrong decisions again."

He reached out and pointed at the document Wang Xin threw on the desk, saying, "Either sign it, or close all cooperative projects. The road is wide, each goes their own way."

"Fine, you're waiting for us here, right."

Wang Xin was so angry that he gritted his back teeth and nodded, saying, "What about the airport! We handed the airport over to you all. How do you calculate this?"

"Easy to calculate, there is no account in this world that cannot be calculated by finance." Li Xuewu said calmly, "You want the airport back, then bear the current renovation costs."

"You abandon the airport project, then re-evaluate the risks."

He pointed to the document on the table and said, "The third-party projects are still in your hands. Industrial rise is just around the corner, isn't it?"

"Maybe one day I'll have to call you President Wang."

"Thank you, thanks to your blessing." Wang Xin knew that getting angry and cursing couldn't solve the problem, because he definitely couldn't out-curse the bastard opposite him.

What is the highest realm of cursing?

It's cursing without using dirty words, but he felt the other party's words were so dirty!

"Tell the truth, what exactly do you mean."

He pulled open a chair, sat opposite Li Xuewu, and asked while suppressing his emotions, "Doesn't your Red Steel Group always emphasize fair cooperation and mutual benefit?"

"Now that you've come up with such conditions, it goes against your consistent style, right?"

"You feel the conditions are harsh because you put the focus on the basis of breaking the contract again." Li Xuewu sat up straight, pointed at the desk, and emphasized, "If you look forward and guarantee performance, then these conditions are naturally nonsense, aren't they?"

"But our money is pressed inside!"

Wang Xin couldn't help but refute loudly, "Why does the third installment of the Tadong Airport merger project need to be transferred to the scientific research mortgage deposit? This is not in line with the rules."

"Of course, this decision is the common wish of both of us." Li Xuewu spread his hands and explained, "If you don't agree, then we end the cooperation, and this money will definitely be allocated to your account, not a cent less."

"So? Cooperation cleared to zero?" Wang Xin frowned and asked, "We helped Steel Flight bear the risks, I helped you solve such a big problem, and you actually..."

"Don't speak so high-sounding."

Li Xuewu's face suddenly became serious and emphasized, "You aren't helping Steel Flight, but accepting the instructions of certain people. Do you think I don't know the twists and turns here?"

"Never think that I and Red Steel will thank you, and I also remind you all, taking everything, good or bad, onto yourselves, sooner or later you will fall."

"Are you threatening me?" Wang Xin narrowed his eyes and stared at him, asking, "Or do you think Shenfei can't turn without Red Steel."

"Ha—" Li Xuewu shook his head amusedly, beckoned to Zhang Enyuan standing at the door, and said, "See Factory Director Wang off."

"You will regret it." Wang Xin slapped the table, stood up, pointed at him, didn't take the new contract, and left angrily with his people.

Zhang Enyuan really followed his instructions to see him off, but the other party didn't have a good face, and he wasn't convenient to say anything.

After returning, Office Director Zhang Jing was there. He stood on the side and listened for a while. It turned out the leader was arranging the liquidation work of various projects with Shenfei.

"Leader, do you really want to break the cooperation with Shenfei?"

After Zhang Jing left, he stepped forward and reminded him softly, "We have already invested a lot of resources in the early stage. Wouldn't it be a huge loss to withdraw now?"

"If you don't cut it when you should, you will suffer chaos."

Li Xuewu turned his body to look out the window and said indifferently, "Canceling the cooperation today seems like a loss, but compared to the risks we will face in the future, it's not worth mentioning."

"But—" Zhang Enyuan asked hesitantly, "The planes have already been transported away. Hasn't the risk that should be borne already been transferred to Shenfei?"

"Who told you that?" Li Xuewu turned around, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Risk is risk. How can risk be transferred."

"The one you just explained to Director Zhang..." Zhang Enyuan hesitated, but still asked, "Those ten planes can't be counted as secondment?"

"Of course, the secondment procedures they did over there are based on the project cooperation between Red Steel and Shenfei. Now that the cooperation project is canceled, naturally, asset liquidation must be carried out."

Li Xuewu said righteously, "What should be owed is returned, what should be returned is returned, nothing is owed, the road is wide, each goes their own way."

He walked to the desk, picked up the contract to look at it, and sneered, "Those ten planes will be used to offset the balance of the airport. We are going to take the sales procedure."

"Sales procedure..." Zhang Enyuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "If it's like this, wouldn't there be no risk?"

"It's just infinitely reduced."

Li Xuewu threw away the contract in his hand, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Normal sales procedure, whoever comes to check, whoever comes to ask, black and white, there is evidence to check."

He still had one sentence he didn't say, which was "What can you do to me."

Did Wang Xin offend him?

Or does he hate Shenfei?

Neither. These are all calculations.

In the original plan, Shenfei had nothing to do with it at all. It was they who took the initiative to come up, and it was Wang Xin who took the initiative to lick the feet of that person.

The reason why he signed that secondment letter at the group headquarters was because he didn't want to keep his brother-in-law in Steel City for too long. The longer the time, the harder it would be to explain if something happened later.

What was the original plan?

In the capital, it was in the capital.

He held the opening and wouldn't let go, just to let that person know that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals he found would only show off their power and bully people, and were useless.

Li Xuewu dared to refuse to deliver the planes in the sun. Did they dare to stand up and point at his nose to say who was right and who was wrong?

Conspiracies ultimately dare not be exposed to the sun, so those caught in the middle have to sit on wax. The decisions made when jumping over the wall in a hurry are very likely to expose some horse feet.

Do you think he is a vegetarian?

Why did the sudden passing of the third uncle make him so nervous? It was because he was worried that this was a retaliation. He didn't expect the third aunt to give him a lesson.

The trip to Yangcheng also eased his nerves. Forcing his brother-in-law to stay in Steel City was definitely not a long-term plan. Since someone came up to take the place, it was better to follow the plan.

Those caught in the middle have already lost their credibility and will inevitably report the ins and outs of this matter upward. As for mixing in some subjective opinions, there's no need to say.

The other side won't let him go, but they won't rush over to target him in a hurry.

And him? He is also not a good cake.

Others don't know those sordid and dirty things, but doesn't he know?

If they don't return these planes, so be it. If they really dare to take them out to use, he doesn't mind stretching them out to bask in the sun to see if they have the guts.

Actually, he just wanted to force the other side to forcibly order his brother-in-law to take the planes away, or have those running dogs caught in the middle come to the front to make a decision for him.

When that time really comes, he really doesn't mind cooperating with the other side to perform a bitter drama.

Really, his acting skills are quite good, and he can interpret the "having no choice" to the fullest, trying his best to provide emotional value to the other side.

People of this era might not see clearly the right and wrong of such things, but can't he see clearly?

There are some things he can't do, and it's not convenient to do, but he still has an unknown father-in-law. Everything is shaken out, let's see who fails first.

Therefore, his ruthlessness isn't in banishing Chen Shouzhi, teaching Yu Decai a lesson, or having a showdown with Li Huai De, but that he wants to wipe them all out, taking this opportunity to pit and kill all future troubles.

Who are the future troubles?

Those who jumped out, those who didn't jump out, or those who were jumping up and down before and after this matter are the future troubles.

To this step, did he give up? Did he compromise?

Of course, the attitude shown to others was that he compromised, because there was no need to pull this string any longer. Once his brother-in-law left with the planes, he lost the first opportunity.

But at the same time, he also had a backup plan.

The position Gu An vacated was well occupied by Wang Xin of Shenfei. Li Xuewu didn't even know what he was thinking. Was he tired of living?

Since they don't admit the crime of beheading, Li Xuewu doesn't mind sending them a crime of scraping.

There are only four words in his creed: Never Compromise.

Wang Xin had just left, and Gao Yaqin called over immediately.

"You at least owe me an explanation."

One could hear that she was suppressing her anger on the phone, but she still maintained her reason, because she was certain that Li Xuewu wasn't a madman, nor was he a fool.

Li Xuewu wouldn't make a decision that harmed the group's interests, because this would damage his future. Li Xuewu wouldn't do something like cutting off his own roots.

Then, there must be some reason that prompted him to make the decision to cut off cooperation with Shenfei, but this decision should have been discussed with her in advance.

"I don't know if giving you complete trust will become my disaster."

She asked with some disappointment, "Do you trust me so little? Even if I'm not your comrade-in-arms, I should count as your comrade, right?"

"Is our comrade relationship not worth you telling me in advance?"

"Tell you what?" Li Xuewu said faintly, "To drag you in too?"

He sighed deeply and said, "You know, this is the situation I least want to see."

"Then you should have given me a hint in advance, right?"

Gao Yaqin said very aggrievedly, "Do you know what my first reaction was when I heard Wang Xin's phone call? I'm a fool."

She exhaled from her nostrils and emphasized with a very tragic tone, "I was like a fool being fooled around by you."

"Believe me, this is the greatest protection I have for you." Li Xuewu didn't explain anything, but said seriously, "And I have never failed the trust of my friends."

"You'd better do what you say." Gao Yaqin on the other end of the phone didn't say anything more and hung up. Things had reached this point, what was the use of entangling this?

Compared to high-sounding talk, she would rather have Li Xuewu not make any explanations.

And Li Xuewu put down the phone, and had to have a headache about answering the Liaodong industry matter.

"Enyuan, contact Director Hu."

He scratched his eyebrows and gave an instruction to the secretary who was tidying up the room, "Just say let's make an appointment to meet, regarding the fertilizer plant matter."

"Do you have any requirements for the time?"

Zhang Enyuan put down the work in his hand, walked over, and asked softly, "Do you want to be as soon as possible, after all..."

"Ask about their time first."

Li Xuewu let out a long breath and said, "It's July. Time flies. If we drag it on, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle."

"Then how about setting it on Friday?" Zhang Enyuan looked at the itinerary in the notebook and reported, "After you come back on Saturday, you can rest for a while longer."

"Can." Li Xuewu nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, looked at him, and said, "Ask if Factory Director Yang has time, and invite him over."

"Good, I'll go make the call now."

Zhang Enyuan saw that he had no other instructions, nodded slightly, and went out.

While waiting for Yang Zongfang, Zhang Jing came back again, reporting the progress of several key tasks, as well as the situation of contacting various units to execute financial liquidation.

Li Xuewu listened very seriously, but didn't make any other decisions. You have to eat a meal bite by bite, and walk a road step by step.

"Secretary-General, you're looking for me."

Yang Zongfang walked in with a notebook, nodded to Zhang Jing, and sat opposite Li Xuewu under his gesture.

He was very relaxed now, folded his right leg, spread the notebook on his legs and opened it, and also prepared a fountain pen, looking like he could take notes at any time.

Li Xuewu didn't care about his way of acting. To talk about acting, his acting skills were even higher than the other party's.

He didn't look at advertisements, only at the curative effect.

"Lv Yuanshen of Steel Auto was transferred to the group headquarters. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Me?" Yang Zongfang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to look for himself because of this matter, and even mentioned it so bluntly, making him not react.

"Can I have thoughts?"

"Heh—heh heh heh—"

Li Xuewu couldn't help but laugh, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Why can't you? Have you lost even this bit of ambition?"

"That's not it." Yang Zongfang also smiled, but it was a bitter smile, shook his head slightly, and said, "The burden of Steel Auto isn't small. My qualifications aren't enough."

"If you still maintain the argument of seniority in your concept, I think you won't go very far either." Li Xuewu stood up, one hand in his pocket, pointed at himself with one finger, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Standing in front of you is the best counter-example of this argument."

"Heh heh heh—" Yang Zongfang waved his hand and said with a smile, "How can I compare with you? It's really inappropriate for you to use yourself as a metaphor."

Li Xuewu walked to the window. Hearing him say this, he turned back and asked meaningfully, "Why do you say that? Do you think my example is inappropriate?"

"No." Yang Zongfang thought for a while, turned his body, and explained seriously, "It's that your example can't represent the majority."

"You aren't the majority either." Li Xuewu walked past his side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Comrade, don't be overly modest."

Yang Zongfang couldn't understand his meaning, remained silent, and didn't speak, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Li Xuewu walked to the big table, rummaged for a while, took out a document, walked over, handed it to him, and gestured for him to open it and see.

"Although Liaodong industry has Red Star Electronics and Steel City Aircraft, there are only four core industries." Li Xuewu gestured with his fingers and emphasized, "Metallurgy, steel rolling, shipbuilding, and automobiles."

He pointed at Yang Zongfang and said, "No other projects are needed. As long as Red Steel Group has these four heavy industrial foundations, it can stand."

"Of course, the four industries I just mentioned aren't the enterprises that produce the highest profits for the group, nor are they the enterprises with the highest output."

Li Xuewu sat diagonally opposite him, on his own desk, with one leg supported on the ground, looked at him, and said, "You know why I came to Liaodong, right?"

"Know." Yang Zongfang looked at the opinion paper on the development plan of Steel City Automobile Manufacturing Plant, nodded, and replied, "Industry, economy, organization, culture."

"Right." Li Xuewu looked at him and emphasized, "But combined in one place, it is to integrate Liaodong's light and heavy industrial resources and form a management structure."

"Northeast Branch?" Yang Zongfang raised his head to look at him and said, "I have heard many guesses about this kind of plan, didn't expect..."

"It's not a branch, it's a head office."

Li Xuewu stood up straight, smiled faintly, walked back behind his desk, took a document out of the drawer, placed it on the desktop, tapped it, and pushed it over.

Yang Zongfang was a bit hesitant, looked at him, and asked, "Can I look?"

"Of course." Li Xuewu raised his hand and gestured, "If you can offer some opinions, that would be even better."

"I haven't even looked yet." Yang Zongfang looked at him with a smile and said, "Can you stop putting pressure on me first?"

"Heh heh heh—" Li Xuewu nodded, gestured that he could look, and continued to speak himself, "Red Star Steel City Industrial Zone cannot bear the group's core goal of developing a mixed economy of light and heavy industry. In the future, it will inevitably extend its industrial tentacles to multiple fields."

"Just like now, Beijing Industry is forcing me to introduce Red Steel Group into the chemical field."

He leaned on the back of the chair helplessly, loosely rested his legs on the desk, and said casually, "They are crazy about developing third-party industry, and even hit me with the idea."

"Regarding this point, I don't feel strange at all." Yang Zongfang raised his head to look at him and said seriously, "No industrial enterprise can refuse your joining."

"Don't over-flatter me. I can distinguish how many pounds I weigh."

Li Xuewu pointed at him, gestured for him to continue looking, and he himself narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the green plants in the corner, saying, "The problem now is that the group isn't prepared to extend to the chemical field, and can't even come up with this investment."

"Introduce bank investment?" Yang Zongfang raised his head, looked at him, and asked tentatively, "Or use United Savings as the main investor?"

"Not determined yet, but it's a direction." Li Xuewu nodded slowly, his eyes thoughtful, and said, "This way Beijing Chemical will be even more at ease, just as they wished."

"Why does Liaodong specifically want to find us?" Yang Zongfang asked puzzledly, "Is it because we have export and joint sales channels? It won't be that simple, right?"

"If I say it's their blind trust in successful cases, do you believe it?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and explained, "Because they can't afford to lose."

"You have said that investment has risks." Yang Zongfang shook his head bitterly, looked at the document in his hand, and said, "Why do they believe that Red Steel Group's investment is always correct."

"Because Red Steel Group possesses a management mechanism that makes them respect and trust." Li Xuewu put down his legs, tapped the desktop with his fingers, looked at him, and emphasized, "Do you know how much effort it takes to establish this set of modern management mechanisms?"

"They don't trust a certain person, a certain unit, but the risk resistance and mature measures to avoid failure that this enterprise possesses."

Li Xuewu spread his hands, pointed at the document he was looking at, and asked, "Do you know now why I insist on establishing the Northeast Industrial Development Head Office in Liaodong?"

"Uh..." Yang Zongfang thought for a while, looked at him, and tried to ask, "Match this kind of trust?"

Snap—

Li Xuewu snapped his fingers at him, smiled confidently, and said, "That's right, to consolidate and strengthen the group's development strength in Northeast industry, and also to let them see with their own eyes the growth and rise of Red Steel Group's industrial system."

"This is an industrial system development vortex."

He gestured with his palms facing upward and closing, "Red Steel Group's development speed is the centripetal force generated by the vortex. The stronger the development, the more opportunities will be attracted."

"If all production units are classified under the Production Management Department, do you know what kind of situation will appear?"

"A plate of loose sand, each doing their own thing?"

Yang Zongfang had gradually followed his train of thought. After talking for so long, it seemed he also understood the purpose of him looking for himself.

Rather than handing Steel Auto to others, Li Xuewu was more willing to use his own defeated subordinate who had been tamed. He had enough confidence to let himself cooperate with him to carry out work.

"You can write a development plan for Steel Auto." Li Xuewu pointed at him and said, "Write it like a work plan for the next three years."

He glanced at the opinion book on the development plan of the automobile industry he handed to the other party, which the other party temporarily placed on the desk, and said, "You can also take this back for reference."

"Secretary-General." Yang Zongfang asked hesitantly, "Have you thought about whether other leaders of the group will support your opinion?"

He raised his eyebrows and reminded, "If the matter is done halfway and the file is broken, it will be a waste of all previous efforts."

"Since I hope you can go further, then I will say one more sentence." Li Xuewu crossed his hands on his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him seriously, and said, "When you are invincible and win every battle, no one will stand in front of you and say you are doing wrong."

"If someone dares to say so, do you know what I will do?"

He stood up, smiled confidently, reached out his hand, and said, "We are comrades. I believe you have the ability to support the group's automobile business. Come on, you can do it." ===== CHAPTER 1608 =====
