Chapter 1619: Early Autumn Flower Affairs

"Why did Yu Zhe come?"

After getting off work, Li Li Xuewu saw Yu Li frowning as she came down from upstairs, her eyes filled with puzzlement as she looked at him.

It must be that he called him; Yu Li dared to believe 100% that without his permission, her brother wouldn't dare to step out of the capital for half a step, because this was his original words.

Arranging for Yu Zhe to return to the capital was her asking Li Li Xuewu to "teach" her brother a lesson, warning him not to cause trouble.

Now Yu Zhe appeared in Steel City again; if it wasn't him, who could it be, but she hadn't received this news.

"Did you let him come?"

"How did you know?" Li Li Xuewu looked at her amusingly and asked: "Did he come to see you?"

"Do you think he would take the initiative to see me?"

Yu Li curled her lips, took the briefcase from his hand, walked toward the living room and said: "I went to the processing plant this afternoon, and happened to see him at Zhao Lao Si's."

"Hehehe—" Li Li Xuewu was also helpless; he never thought it would be such a coincidence.

"He only knows how to mess around when he comes."

Yu Li complained not without reason: "When I went, he was taking money from Lao Si, and even said you gave it."

"Hmm." Li Li Xuewu responded, unbuttoned the collar of his half-sleeve shirt, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but there was no follow-up.

Yu Li turned her head and glanced at him, saying: "Why give him money; it's not like he doesn't earn money."

"You give him money, and he just knows how to spend it wildly; I asked him what he came to Steel City for, and he wouldn't say."

Speaking of this, she hummed with dissatisfaction again, angrily saying: "Must be going to find that Zhang Meili again."

"Twenty-something years old, how long do you want to manage him?" Li Li Xuewu explained indifferently: "Let him come to handle some things; it's not very convenient for me here."

"What kind of thing must he handle—"

Yu Li sent the briefcase to the study, and after coming out, muttered: "You don't know his character, like a hairy rabbit, what can he do."

"Hmm, just don't worry about it." Li Li Xuewu still didn't want to say, asked indifferently: "What to eat tonight? Hot, eat cold water noodles; fry some meat sauce."

"Didn't buy meat." Yu Li glanced at him and said: "Should have told me earlier if you wanted to eat."

"If there isn't, then forget it." Li Li Xuewu picked up the newspaper indifferently and read it, saying: "Just get something casual."

Yu Li looked at him again, then went to the kitchen unwillingly; since Banggeng hadn't been home recently, the meals for two were easy to make; Li Li Xuewu wasn't a picky eater.

Since returning, Li Li Xuewu had been collecting information about the large aircraft project; of course, he also collected data on domestic helicopters and other aircraft models, focusing on the aviation industry engine project.

With the current financial strength of Red Steel Group, it was impossible to pry the research and development of a heavy-capital project like large aircraft.

At least he didn't have this energy, let alone the conditions to persuade the group to transform at a critical junction.

Since the large aircraft project couldn't be handled, could he make an article on engines and key systems?

Not producing large aircraft, but acting as a power solution system supplier for the large aircraft project.

If there are no accidents, under the current international technical blockade environment, Red Steel Group has no chance of obtaining such important technology related to the national destiny.

But as long as there is a blockade, there will definitely be loopholes.

From 1970 to the time the domestic large aircraft project forms a scale, there is at least ten years of time.

Red Steel Group has already established initial stable cooperative contacts with multiple enterprises in East Germany, and thus has the opportunity to purchase advanced turbofan engine and jet engine technology from the West.

Another thing, in the next ten years, the international situation will be turbulent one after another; it's not that there is no opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Think about the scene when the North Soviet Union collapsed, a whale falls and all things are born; when the Mao family split, how many good things were sold cheaply.

Many people only know the dumping market after the split, but don't know that ten years before the split, those Mao people already had situations of filling their own pockets and daring to sell anything.

Of course, the earlier the time, the smaller their courage, the stricter the management, but it's not that there is no opportunity.

Li Li Xuewu will not give up laying out this feast; with the size of Red Steel Group at that time, and the first-mover advantage of controlling the key points of historical time, what technology can't be obtained.

Of course, one cannot place all hope on that time; one must do a good job in the foundation of industrial engineering and prepare for the later take-off.

Still that sentence, he dare not say to promote Red Steel Group to win in all industrial fields, at least in most key technical fields, it will not be in a backward stage.

As long as a technical breakthrough is achieved in a certain field, the related technical fields will also be driven to develop.

Taking Steel Flight as an example, if there were no three helicopter production lines, the domestic aircraft manufacturing industry would not accept an alien like Red Steel Group into the circle.

Even now, Steel Flight can independently complete the production of small helicopters and is preparing to produce medium helicopters, but in the eyes of that circle, Steel Flight is still unreliable.

Envious of Steel Flight's industrial strength, but in mentality, it is still in a state of inferiority and arrogance.

Li Li Xuewu does things with plans; when he makes plans for the aircraft field of Red Steel Group, it is impossible to just slap his head, call a few experts to discuss and verify, and then it's over.

He must have his own ideas, and then invite experts to conduct special research and argumentation, combine his ideas to give theoretical guidance, and form a final report.

His ideas are not necessarily always right; he needs experts to provide professional evidence to discuss and refute.

So before starting a project, he must independently complete the process of establishing ideas.

Very hard; when Yu Li passed the noodles through water and placed them on the dining table, she still didn't see him move.

"Eat, wait until after eating to look."

She has always cared about Li Li Xuewu's health; most of her energy in the few months she came to Steel City was placed on taking care of his daily life, fortunately Zhao Lao Si was also in Steel City.

Speaking of which, the basic disk of the recycling station in Steel City is no worse than in the capital, because of the foundation laid by Guanshan for many years, they took over the whole thing and used it immediately.

Yu Li also rarely goes to the front line to see the site, but spends more time looking at account books and talking to those in charge.

Visibly, Li Li Xuewu's mental state is much better than before she came.

Just look at Li Li Xuewu's clothes; they are clearly good materials, but Banggeng has no concept of washing clothes, throwing everything into the washing machine, and as a result, ruined good clothes.

After Yu Li came, Li Li Xuewu's underwear and underpants were never put in the washing machine, and his white shirts for all four seasons were all hand-washed, without a bit of stain.

Li Li Xuewu isn't very lazy, he also has times when he washes his own clothes, just forgets when he gets busy.

Sometimes he doesn't dislike himself, wearing a shirt for three or four days, or even a week, without noticing.

Looking now, the clothes on him don't have a day's gap, all washed once a day, white shirts are always white.

It is precisely because of her care for him that Li Li Xuewu takes extra care of Yu Zhe and her family.

Without Li Li Xuewu's permission, she is still single, so she can only take more care of the family.

She is looking forward to Li Li Xuewu giving her a hope, even just one, she would recognize it whether it's a boy or a girl.

It's just that Li Li Xuewu is hard-hearted; let alone her, even the one in Hong Kong hasn't heard any movement.

There are some things she dare not ask again, because it's not just her alone; she knows how many there are.

Of course, there are some who don't need to be missed.

For example, Qin Qin Huairu; she knows that the two have long been estranged, even before Qin Qin Huairu got married.

Zhang Zhang Songying, doesn't necessarily see each other once a year; she asked Li Li Xuewu what feelings he has for her, what about Zhang Zhang Songying?

Zhou Wang Yamei counts as one, Wu Wu Shuping counts as one, all don't need to think about it, it's impossible to have a chance.

Zhou Zhou Xiao Bai, even less chance.

Tong Tong Huimei and Jin Jin Jiaojiao, in her view, still have a few chances, because they don't fight or grab.

In addition, she also knows there is a Ran Ran Qiuye, Wang Wang Yajuan, and Seeing Gu Li Aisha who often appears in the club.

From Li Li Xuewu's attitude last night, it's not hard to see that he is thin-hearted, won't make things difficult for himself, and won't make things embarrassing for his family.

So whether these few can achieve their wishes depends on opportunity, and whether there will be special changes in the future.

At least in her view, Wang Wang Yajuan and Ran Ran Qiuye have fewer chances, and Seeing Gu Li Aisha has even less chance.

Counting down, at most there is Lou Lou Xiaoe in Hong Kong, her, and those two canaries.

Opportunities are all fought for by oneself; sometimes one shouldn't force it too much, let it happen naturally.

Looking at him eating noodles, Yu Li still couldn't help but ask: "You let Yu Zhe come, is it because of that Sun Ming you mentioned before? What are they going to do?"

"You can really ponder." Li Li Xuewu looked at her unexpectedly and asked: "Sure Yu Zhe didn't tell you anything? Did you guess it yourself?"

"Can't you tell me the truth?"

Yu Li was angry and amused, hammered him hard with her hand holding the chopsticks, and pouted: "Can I still ruin your business?"

"I didn't think so." Li Li Xuewu smiled, shook his head slightly and said: "Just afraid you'll think too much."

"Can I not think too much—"

Yu Li glared at him and pouted: "For no reason, calling him over from thousands of miles away, what for?"

"Will you be relieved if I tell you?"

Li Li Xuewu finished eating, put down his chopsticks and took another sip of noodle soup, saying indifferently: "Give him an opportunity."

"Tell me the truth." Yu Li's tone carried a bit of pleading, looking at him pitifully and saying: "Yu Zhe won't be in danger, right?"

"Eating can have the danger of choking, how can you ask me to guarantee you?" Li Li Xuewu said straightforwardly, looking at her and emphasizing seriously: "He's not a child anymore; daring to come to Steel City to see me, daring to take this task, shows he has the confidence to do it well, and the ability to do it well."

"..." Yu Li breathed through her nostrils, stared at him and asked: "He just got married, doesn't have children yet, our family is a single line for three generations..."

"De de de—" Li Li Xuewu said amusingly: "What's what—"

He glanced at Yu Li and said: "If there's really a long or short, do I have to help your family give birth to a child?"

"Go to yours—" Yu Li was so anxious she was about to shed tears, glared at him and pouted: "If something happens to him, how can I have the face to go home and see my parents, do you want me to die?"

The subtext of this sentence was still herself, alone and helpless, couldn't pit her brother.

"Sigh—" Li Li Xuewu sighed helplessly, signaled her: "Eat first, tell you after eating."

He stood up and went to the study; the noodles in Yu Li's bowl weren't fragrant anymore; she ate two quick bites, tidied up the kitchen, and then chased to the study.

"How much do you know about the current internal situation of Red Steel Group?"

Li Li Xuewu was looking at documents; seeing her come in, he didn't wait for her to beg again, and asked straightforwardly.

Yu Li looked at him and said: "Not much, business-wise? Or..."

"When I first came to Steel City, the metallurgical plant had a safety production accident; preliminary investigation found that the No. 4 furnace had problems at the beginning of design and construction..."

"I know this." Yu Li didn't wait for him to finish, nodded and said: "You told me."

"Hmm." Li Li Xuewu nodded slowly, continued to explain: "Several investigation groups came this year and didn't figure out the actual situation; now the group arranged for Deputy Director Su, who is in charge of quality and safety supervision, to come down to investigate."

"And then?" Yu Li frowned and asked: "Is he the one who has an average relationship with you?"

"Has nothing to do with this; I'm talking about facts." Li Li Xuewu emphasized indifferently: "Because the No. 4 furnace involves Deputy Director Dong, the group suspects that I implemented interference in the investigation and made trouble."

"Now the wife of the main designer of the No. 4 furnace, Yu Bai Tiecheng, went to the group to report my dereliction of duty..."

"Why?" Yu Li asked worriedly: "Did you really do this?"

"Listen to me finish." Li Li Xuewu waved his hand, continued to explain: "The facts are very complicated, but I can guarantee to you, I have never framed anyone, let alone damaged the interests of the organization; can't explain clearly in one or two sentences."

"Then tell me about Yu Zhe." Yu Li asked concernedly: "What did you let him come for? Handle the person who reported you?"

"Hehe—" Li Li Xuewu looked at her amusingly and asked: "Am I that low?"

"I don't think you are." Yu Li also said very seriously: "You don't need to do this."

"Hmm, I let Yu Zhe come, indeed to let him contact Sun Ming." Li Li Xuewu admitted this point, and explained in Yu Li's puzzled gaze: "I let him borrow my name to create a project to make money."

"What do you mean?" Yu Li had emphasized to her brother more than once not to mention his name outside.

Seeing him say this, she was a bit panicked, and puzzled again.

"Yu Zhe is the fishing rod in my hand."

Li Li Xuewu pinched his fingers and signaled: "I need a fishing line, as well as a fishhook and bait."

"Sun Ming is the fishhook?" Yu Li was very smart, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Then what are the fishing line and bait?"

"Yu Zhe's relationship with me, his relationship with Sun Ming, and the relationship I gave him, are all fishing lines."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Getting goods from Red Steel Group to go to sea by ship, and then bringing goods back by ship, this is the bait; Sun Ming will definitely be willing to do it."

"This—" Yu Li frowned and reminded him: "Will this affect the Maritime Carriage Plan?"

"No, two different things." Li Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "The source of the Carriage Plan has two, one is the recycling station, one is the big ship on the high seas."

"But what Yu Zhe gave Sun Ming is the opposite direction." He raised his eyebrows: "The Carriage Plan exports dumped products, brings back industrial raw materials; no one will really care."

"But what Sun Ming wants to do is bring back luxury goods, export high-quality raw materials."

"This..." Yu Li was a bit confused, but could still understand his meaning, asking: "Are you trying to let Sun Ming fall into the net?"

"He was already doing this kind of thing."

Li Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying indifferently: "That uncle-in-law of his—"

Speaking of this, he didn't want to say more, but continued to talk about Yu Zhe's relationship: "As long as Yu Zhe helps him earn the first sum of money, introduces the other party to the person arranged in the capital, the rest doesn't need to be managed."

"My relationship with him, his relationship with Sun Ming, and with that person, are all fishing lines that can be broken at any time."

Li Li Xuewu put down the teacup and said very casually: "As long as he doesn't admit it, who can force him to admit it?"

"And then? Over in the capital—"

Yu Li frowned and asked: "Who did you arrange to take over, is it our person?"

"No." Li Li Xuewu looked at her, thought for a while and said: "Do you know the Sanhe Joint-Stock Company?"

"Know." Yu Li raised her eyebrows and asked: "Do you want them to know each other?"

"The office of the Sanhe Joint-Stock Company in the capital had some trouble." Li Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "The office director is very close to Deputy Director Su."

"Hmm? —" Yu Li was stunned, didn't expect how the words came back, and it was related to Su Weide.

"That person from the Sanhe Joint-Stock Company... how to say, quite complicated."

Li Li Xuewu thought for a while and explained: "He wants to stay in the country, to save his love."

"Ah?" Yu Li was even more confused, looking at him with strange eyes and asking: "There's also love?"

"Hehehe—" Li Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "Indeed it is love, complicated love."

Yu Li couldn't imagine how complicated this love was; it couldn't be more complicated than Li Li Xuewu's plan, right?

"So, that person in charge of the office is the one you arranged to contact Su Weide?"

She seemed to have thought of something, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Then you arrange for Sun Ming to contact him, Sun Ming has an accident, and it will implicate Su Weide?"

"Hmm, probably like this."

Li Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said: "Sun Ming won't have an accident easily, unless Su Weide really comes to Steel City to check the No. 4 furnace."

"But he will definitely come to check." Yu Li raised her eyebrows and said: "So Su Weide doesn't know there is this relationship with Sun Ming, he will definitely check to his uncle-in-law?"

"Right, as long as he really checks."

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "He will grab his own tail and pull hard, and then drag himself into the abyss."

"Of course, I don't want to be a destroyer of rules, still have to let him suffer the consequences of his own actions."

He said it very casually, making Yu Li terrified, hesitating to ask: "Yu Zhe won't be investigated?"

"He is just a fishing rod." Li Li Xuewu smiled, made a gesture and compared: "I can cut the fishing line, but I'm always reluctant to throw away the fishing rod, right?"

Yu Li couldn't be completely relieved, but since he said so, what else could she say.

But thinking about it, Su Weide is really unlucky; coming to investigate with great interest, only to grab his own tail, and will implicate a bunch of people.

Li Li Xuewu won't have any suspicion in this, and no one will be able to find out what he did.

Su Weide's failure can only be the firepower attracted by Sun Ming's actions; by then, Li Li Xuewu will have the opportunity to rectify those old cadres who have worked on the front line for a long time represented by Sun Ming's uncle-in-law.

And the investigation attracted by Sun Ming, I'm afraid even Su Weide can't stop it, because it's not the same system.

By then Sun Ming will be investigated, which will make the Carriage Plan more stable, and more highlight the actual effect of promoting industrial development, and will be more relaxed toward the Carriage Plan.

Looking at the group internally, Su Weide failed, unable to protect himself, will that newly arrived Zhou Wanquan who wants to stand firm follow him and fall?

Even if he gets out in time, I'm afraid he will be covered in trouble, and Li Li Xuewu's goal will be achieved.

As for whether Su Weide will completely fall this time, in fact, Li Li Xuewu doesn't care; hitting the snake at seven inches, having this person is better than a friend.

Without Su Weide, what will Cheng Kaiyuan think, what will Jing Jing Yunong do; sometimes enemies used well are more useful than friends.

So now he is hiding from Su Weide, as if he is afraid, and even joining hands with Jing Jing Yunong to hold him up.

The more arrogant Su Weide is, the more honest Li Li Huai De is, and Zhou Wanquan will be vigilant against Su Weide instead.

Others won't stare at Li Li Xuewu anymore; even if they want to pick up a bargain, they have to wait until Li Li Xuewu really falls.

Besides, Li Li Huai De won't let him fall.

Workplace games are themselves compromises and pulls.

This year is the second year Li Li Xuewu has been in charge of the group's Liaodong industry; he needs a relatively stable development time; light collisions can only be scratching an itch, giving people a feeling of being fierce but weak.

Now he wants to pit Su Weide first, break his two legs, and leave enough space and time for development.

Rectify those who are smart slowly, and take those who are stupid out to sacrifice the flag.

Li Li Xuewu won't let Lao Li fall into the mortal world, let alone let Lao Li ascend to heaven in one morning.

It's just maintaining that state of constantly producing results but not coming down, and constantly making mistakes but not going up.

For Lao Li, it's a disaster, but for Li Li Xuewu, it's the healthiest state.

As long as Li Li Huai De is in that position, those who have reached the point in the group will either go to other units to serve, or be suppressed by Lao Li until he takes the position.

During this period, Li Li Xuewu doesn't begrudge sharing; now he has already saved two games in his hands, one is the Beijing No. 1 Factory laid out long ago, and one is the newly developed Beijing Chemical.

Both are in one system; the Beijing No. 1 Factory definitely wants to rely on Red Steel again, because most of the cadres there were cultivated by Red Steel and sent over.

Believe that Beijing Industry will be willing to have the deputy position of Red Steel Group serve as the main person in charge.

And on the Beijing Chemical side, just looking at their desire for Li Li Xuewu to take the position, whether it's sincere or not, they definitely hope to obtain more cadres with group experience to escort them.

In addition, he has a hidden project.

Since Red Steel Group belongs to Beijing Industry again, the relationship between Red Steel Group and the city will ease; after all, a rebellious son returning home is still a biological son.

Among these units related to Red Steel, which one can refuse the management talent of Red Steel Group?

As long as they go over, they will definitely be arranged as the main person in charge by Beijing.

Since they can't get ahead in Red Steel Group, it's better to change the mountain and be the king.

Another thing, they go over, and can also enjoy the treatment and resources of cooperation with Red Steel Group.

This kind of divergent management means is precisely the performance of experience sharing and common progress that the above hopes to see.

And on the Red Steel Group side, with Li Li Xuewu's growth and progress, and the organizational structure created by Li Li Huai De, even if new team members come, where will they have such deep roots.

So, Li Li Xuewu's small abacus is clattering, who can calculate better than him.

Even his teacher Dong Wenxue is within one ring.

With the stain in Steel City, plus the problem of the No. 4 furnace, Dong Wenxue has long since cut off his future path.

And not only does Li Li Xuewu's plan for the future not have him, even Li Li Huai De's plan for the future doesn't have his position.

In Li Li Huai De's view, Dong Wenxue's style of work is too soft and not suitable for taking on heavy responsibilities.

Looking at his performance during his work in Steel City, it's clear at a glance, and even has a kind of blind naivety.

Conversely, Li Li Xuewu is different; this is a firm and smart guy, a natural alpha wolf.

That is, he won't threaten him, otherwise Li Li Huai De would have taken ruthless action long ago.

So, Dong Wenxue's current situation is actually the best situation he can get.

If it weren't for Li Li Xuewu's operation, he would have encountered the setbacks Cheng Kaiyuan encountered; Li Li Huai De is not a soft persimmon and will definitely suppress his sharpness of returning to the capital.

Now the group's firepower is seemingly concentrated in Steel City, but in reality, it's still in the capital.

"Is your eldest in the first grade?"

Gao Gao Yaqin came from the capital, passing through Steel City; she was going to Fengcheng for the final talk with Shen Fei.

It can be seen how angry Wang Xin is, not even willing to come to Steel City to see him, let alone receive him to go to Fengcheng.

To talk about the relationship between the two, it can't be counted as a private feud, only that the concepts don't match.

Li Li Xuewu wants a comprehensive strategic partnership, while Wang Xin wants cooperation for mutual benefit, not owing each other.

Right, the Red Star Factory emphasized the concept of mutual benefit at the beginning of external cooperation, but things are different now.

Think carefully, does Red Steel Group still do small projects?

If it were before, if the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory came over, Red Steel Group would definitely seriously investigate cooperation; after all, the pharmaceutical industry is also a high-profit industry.

But now that the Ninth Pharmaceutical and Linghe Auto and such enterprises come over, Red Steel Group doesn't look at them anymore.

Can't say Red Steel is proud and looks down on people, only that the cooperation cost is too high now.

Speaking like this, unless it's the size of Shen Fei, possessing mature industrial ability and technical foundation, why would Red Steel Group pull them to save projects.

Look at the East City Credit Union, which was very fierce in initial investment, otherwise it would never appear on the group's current cooperation list.

Even now, Red Steel Group takes the initiative to acquire the shares of the United Savings Bank in their hands at a premium, and they are unwilling, even taking the initiative to add investment.

Holding a golden rice bowl, how can one throw it away casually.

Red Steel Group's cooperation with Shen Fei in the aircraft manufacturing field is comprehensive, including helicopters, parts OEM industry, and engine research and development, etc.

Similarly, there is a foundation for tertiary industrial cooperation, as well as an airport replacement relationship.

Now who can provide cooperation projects at the level of tens of millions of funds?

Beijing Chemical can provide, so the next cooperation focus of Red Steel Group is the chemical industrial park of Beijing Chemical in Liaodong.

Wang Xin is angry?

Let him be angry first, Li Li Xuewu doesn't care.

Since aircraft cooperation is blocked, then break it into pieces, rely engine research and development on the large aircraft project, and use foreign technology to participate with hard strength.

As long as it becomes a link in the large aircraft project, it's not the other party eating Red Steel Group's resources, but Red Steel Group developing by relying on the other party's resources.

Look at the helicopter project again; as long as cooperation with Gan Fei is achieved, the Helicopter Research Institute will provide technical innovation and support, and by then, it will be able to eat the other party's resources as well.

The most critical thing is that Red Steel Group now possesses the largest CNC machine tool industrial cluster, and no enterprise can compare with the parts industrial cluster created by Red Steel Group combined with Liaodong Industry in Steel City.

There is only one factory in this cluster, the parts factory.

However, attached to this factory, there are many factories undertaking upstream and downstream processes and synchronous production.

Not only factories newly built by Steel City Industrial Investment, but also parts production resources gathered from the whole province by Liaodong Industry's overall planning, only then did it have today's scale.

If you look down from the perspective of helicopters, you only see a large factory area connected to the Red Steel Industrial Park, forming an industrial satellite city outside Steel City.

If you look down from the perspective of a helicopter, you can see a large factory area connected to the Red Steel Industrial Park, forming an industrial satellite city outside the city of Steel City.

Here, the Red Steel Industrial Park is particularly well-planned, with all kinds of industrial facilities complete, and other projects have also benefited from the dividends.

Steel City's industry is developing rapidly, driven by the Red Steel Group, setting off a trend of learning from, catching up with, and surpassing others throughout the province. I don't know how many people envy Steel City's industry.

Now Li Li Xuewu has contacted the chemical industrial park again. The heads of industry who heard the news have all called him, and their words are nothing more than saying everything is negotiable, as long as the chemical industrial park can be located in their area.

Li Li Xuewu can't make the decision; this still has to be left to the Beijing Chemical Industry to decide.

However, chemical production is best kept close to the sea because factors like pollution and transportation make seawater resources a natural prerequisite.

Yingcheng certainly has great opportunities because the Red Steel Group's port area is right there.

Li Li Xuewu has also expressed his interest in the port area. Now, Yingcheng calls every few days to ask about the project's progress.

Think about it carefully: Shenfei destroyed a great cooperative situation because of some people's greed. Even Gao Gao Yaqin thinks they are short-sighted and not worth cooperating with.

When she arrived in Steel City, she wasn't angry or regretful about Li Li Xuewu's decision at all.

It was Shenfei that was regretful, wondering why they didn't consider it carefully. Now, things are a mess.

The completed transaction naturally cannot be torn up. The Tadong Airport is still in the hands of the Red Steel Group, and Shenfei has no money to redeem the Red Steel Group's investment in the airport project.

Similarly, most of the Red Steel Group's small-scale tertiary industries were packaged and handed over to Shenfei. After the other party confirmed the termination of the cooperation, they already arranged for cadres to go to Beijing to take over the enterprises.

Originally, they intended to require the Red Steel Group to retain 5% of the shares to continue the excellent management model.

But now they don't dare to let the Red Steel Group manage it, because after their calculations, they already know that the Red Steel Group has mortgaged the shares in its hands.

They don't quite understand what this left-hand-to-right-hand trick is, but it's definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, while they were doing the final calculations, they arranged for people to take over management completely.

The Red Steel Group was happy to let them do so. The management personnel were withdrawn, but the workers and other grassroots management personnel could not be withdrawn, so Red Steel didn't lose anything.

The withdrawn management layer is not hard to place; on the contrary, the employee reduction plan set by Li Li Xuewu many years ago has been implemented.

Back during the personnel reform, some workers who did not meet the future development of the Red Steel Group and lacked room for cultivation were transferred to the tertiary industries.

Looking at those workers now, they are qualified, but as long as time passes, Shenfei will definitely be able to feel what those middle-aged workers mean compared to the vigor in the Red Steel Group's factories.

Their retirement, welfare benefits, and family placement, etc., are all problems.

The Red Steel Group got rid of personnel pressure through one transformation after another. Now it is truly traveling light.

Li Li Xuewu didn't expect Gao Gao Yaqin to come. Hearing her ask about Li Shu, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "She said herself she wants to go to elementary school; she doesn't want to be a little brat in kindergarten like her younger brother."

"Hehehe—" Gao Gao Yaqin also found it amusing and asked with a smile: "Can she keep up?"

"We'll see." Li Li Xuewu nodded indifferently, took a sip of hot tea, and said: "If she can't keep up, let her repeat a year. Anyway, she's old enough."

"That's too old." Gao Gao Yaqin said with a smile: "If she reads smoothly, she might be able to go to college at sixteen."

"Hahaha—" Li Li Xuewu naturally wasn't afraid of his daughter studying well. He smiled and looked at her, asking: "How are you arranging your children? Are they all going to your spouse's unit?"

"He always says their unit is better than ours."

Gao Gao Yaqin sighed helplessly and said: "Maybe it's just like he said; after all, the opportunity is rare."

Li Li Xuewu doesn't know much about the family situations of these leaders in the group, but he has a general idea.

Gao Gao Yaqin's spouse works in the shipping system, which is actually related to foreign trade; otherwise, the two wouldn't have met.

In this era, if you go to the shipping system, it's truly stylish and practical—the kind where you drink coffee and eat bread.

Otherwise, why would Gao Gao Yaqin be willing to let her children go to her spouse's unit instead of coming to the Red Steel Group?

If you really want to talk about it, the Red Steel Group's welfare benefits are very good within the industrial system, especially in terms of supply and marketing guarantees, truly achieving sufficient supply.

But compared to foreign trade and shipping, it's not worth looking at. After all, the opportunities for working abroad are definitely not on the scale of the Red Steel Group's tens of thousands of people.

"I heard it from Wang Lu." She looked at Li Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "She said she was sending her child to elementary school. I was wondering, she hasn't even given birth, where did the child come from?"

"Hehehe—" Li Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and sighed: "This is the bitterness of working away from home."

"You're doing fine too. You still have these relatives at home to help out; you don't have to worry."

Gao Gao Yaqin knew about Wang Lu's relative relationship with Li Li Xuewu. The topic shifted, and she talked about the completion and acceptance of the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone Gymnasium.

"Aren't you going back to attend the ceremony at the beginning of the month?"

"Is it necessary?" Li Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "Let's talk about it in the middle of the month. When the exhibition starts, I have to go back and teach a few classes."

"I forgot, you're still a teacher."

Gao Gao Yaqin looked at him quite playfully and said: "How is it? After a semester, how does it compare to being a cadre?"

"Students are naturally simpler."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "I'm just ringing the bell as long as I'm a monk for a day. When they don't need me there anymore, I'll leave immediately."

"That shouldn't be the case." Gao Gao Yaqin raised her eyebrows and said: "You are still very capable."

"Not enough." Li Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Where would I get so much energy and time to do academic research? Let's not mislead the students."

"What about the investigation team?" Gao Gao Yaqin looked him up and down and asked: "It's been more than half a month; there should be some clues, right?"

"I don't know." Li Li Xuewu saw her look of disbelief and explained amusingly: "Think about it, what are people saying about me? How would I dare to go over and ask?"

"I haven't asked a single word, let alone seen them. I'm keeping silent on this matter."

"You really can hold back." Gao Gao Yaqin curled her lips, picked up her teacup, and said: "The group has been calm recently, but I don't know how long it can be maintained."

"Maybe." Li Li Xuewu looked at her with a smile and said: "When the truth comes out in Steel City, perhaps it will be completely calm."

"Dream on—" Gao Gao Yaqin glanced at him meaningfully and said: "You won't admit defeat. If he wins, who knows how rampant he'll be, so—"

They probed each other on this topic. She didn't say the rest but reminded Li Li Xuewu that news had come from above.

"I actually heard about it a long time ago."

Li Li Xuewu nodded, frowned slightly in thought, and responded: "Didn't they propose restoring organizational activities last year? It's normal to implement them now."

"But it has nothing to do with us." Gao Gao Yaqin reminded him: "The main activities now are within the groups."

"Hmm, what does Director Li mean?"

Li Li Xuewu thought for a while and asked her: "They won't expand the area of organizational activities so quickly, will they?"

"I haven't heard of it anyway." Gao Gao Yaqin cared about this: "We only participated in the organizational study meeting and the work style and discipline meeting, but we haven't participated in any office meetings."

"Hmm, that's normal." Li Li Xuewu smiled indifferently and said: "Haste makes waste."

"You really are sitting firmly on the fishing platform—"

Gao Gao Yaqin rolled her eyes at him and said: "Do you know that Director Li approved 100,000 yuan for the Optoelectronics Research Institute?"

"I haven't heard of it?" Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked: "Was there any discovery?"

"I heard that the lithography system was successfully developed."

Gao Gao Yaqin pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows: "Part of this 100,000 yuan includes bonuses. Many people are discussing it. That Peter alone got more than 3,000."

"A copy of the KARL-ZEISS-JENA optical system?" Li Li Xuewu remembered that Shangguan Qi had mentioned the general situation to him, but he couldn't remember it; after all, he wasn't a professional.

Gao Gao Yaqin wasn't a professional either. She shook her head slightly and said: "I don't know. Anyway, it's a system. It succeeded, and they got bonuses and research funding."

"Actually, it's compensation." Li Li Xuewu said meaningfully: "Things from a while ago."

"Then it's better to say it's a bonus." Gao Gao Yaqin looked at him and said very bluntly: "That Peter insisted on coming back to work; otherwise, Director Li wouldn't have been able to get the person back. He is truly loyal."

"Foreigners' minds aren't necessarily all straightforward."

Li Li Xuewu reminded her indifferently: "Don't underestimate foreigners in future international project negotiations."

"What's going on with that Sanhe?"

Following his words, Gao Gao Yaqin frowned and asked: "How come I heard that Old Su got involved with that Takahashi, and even caused a scandal?"
