Chapter 1662: Qualification for Pity

"I might have to move my position."

Qi Qi Yaowu drank until his face was red and wanted to pour another cup for Li Li Xuewu, but Wang Wang Xiaoqin persuaded him again.

"Didn't there be news long ago?"

Li Li Xuewu saw him say this, moved his wine glass forward, and nodded to Wang Wang Xiaoqin to signal him to pour it.

"Yes, there was news long ago."

Qi Qi Yaowu nodded with emotion, raised his wine glass to signal, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Li Li Xuewu looked at Wang Wang Xiaoqin suspiciously, but only saw her shake her head, as if there were some words that were hard to say.

He didn't say anything more, raised his wine glass to accompany him for a cup; the wine was mellow, and it was exactly the group's five-star Wuxing Maotai.

Perhaps only during the New Year, perhaps only when they were about to go their separate ways, did everyone have the opportunity to reunite.

Counting the time, Li Li Xuewu had left the Wei Third Regiment for more than three years; meeting again really had too much reluctance.

Their identities were not low, so the gathering ensured safety and convenience, and it was chosen at the club.

In the restaurant of the back courtyard's side room, there were only these people; they were all old comrades-in-arms: Qi Qi Yaowu, Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, Chu Chu Nanfang, Wang Wang Xiaoqin, Zhang Ren Chenggong, Shen Fang, and Li Li Xuewu.

Qi Qi Yaowu, Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, and Zhang Ren Chenggong came from the 816th Regiment; Li Li Xuewu, Shen Fang, and Wang Wang Xiaoqin came from the Public Security Brigade; Chu Chu Nanfang could be considered a fallen phoenix not as good as a chicken.

The three parties gathered together, already not distinguishing between each other.

Nowadays, the Wei Third Regiment was strong and powerful, with amazing combat effectiveness; everyone sitting here today had made contributions and also received the rewards they deserved.

Zhao Zhao Zhenhua silently poured himself a cup of wine, signaled to Chu Chu Nanfang, and drank it in one gulp; it looked heroic, but it was actually depressed.

Zhang Ren Chenggong and Shen Fang didn't drink much tonight, just tasted it and stopped, because they had to be on duty tonight.

Li Li Xuewu could see it; being so depressed, they should be dissatisfied with the adjustment results that were about to be announced.

Actually, sometimes thinking about it, being sharp-edged might not necessarily be a good thing for the person in charge of a team.

Although he didn't understand what problems had occurred here and what had happened, he could have some feelings.

"The leader has already talked to me."

Qi Qi Yaowu, a big, rough man, had red eye sockets, looked at him, and said, "Let me prepare to work in the Logistics Department."

"Adjustment or progress?" Li Li Xuewu nodded slowly and asked; since he already had psychological preparation, how could he have an expression of surprise? He wouldn't put on a pose in front of an old comrade-in-arms.

"Of course it's progress—" Qi Qi Yaowu pursed his lips and said with a wry smile, "The leader gave me face, so I have to take it."

"Come on, let's drink another one." Li Li Xuewu didn't ask in detail, just nodded and poured him a cup of wine.

Qi Qi Yaowu drank very urgently, choking until he was tearful and snotty, causing Wang Wang Xiaoqin in the neighboring seat to scold him for being useless while handing him paper towels.

"Political Commissar, I toast you." Li Li Xuewu smiled, filled a cup for himself again, and looked at Zhao Zhao Zhenhua.

Zhao Zhao Zhenhua raised his wine glass, called Chu Chu Nanfang together, and also had red eye sockets, saying, "If you have a confidant within the four seas, the ends of the earth are like neighbors; no matter where we go, we are still comrades-in-arms."

Li Li Xuewu didn't say anything, stretched his hand across the table to clink glasses with them, and then drank it in one gulp.

"I'm leaving, Old Shen is staying."

Zhang Ren Chenggong raised his teacup and took the initiative to toast Li Li Xuewu, smiling and explaining, "The leader still takes care of me, going to the Seventh Regiment."

"Continuing to be Chief of Staff?" This was the first time Li Li Xuewu took the initiative to ask about a comrade's transfer tonight.

"Deputy Regiment, it counts as progress."

Zhang Ren Chenggong smiled and explained, "The Seventh Regiment's Regiment Commander Wang's age has arrived; it's just these one or two years."

"Don't forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind."

Li Li Xuewu nodded with gratification, raised his wine glass to toast him back, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp again.

Transferring from Chief of Staff to Deputy Regiment Commander cannot be simply considered from the inherent thinking of the three major members; it must be analyzed and viewed comprehensively.

Just from the most basic rank and order, the Regiment Chief of Staff and the Deputy Regiment Commander usually belong to the same level, both are Deputy Regiment level.

Rank and salary are the same, but it cannot be counted as a horizontal transfer.

If looking at the order, the first and second positions won't be mentioned; the Deputy Regiment Commander in charge of military affairs is in the third position, while the Chief of Staff might be in the fifth or sixth position. No wonder Zhang Ren Chenggong said it counts as progress.

Of course, this kind of adjustment also depends on the result, combining the organization's comprehensive consideration of personal circumstances, there might be two situations.

First is as a stable transition for exiting the core sequence, which is the so-called "fading out" signal.

Because cadres have professional age limits, professional ability and unit transformation needs are disconnected, or comprehensive management ability is difficult to assume higher command positions after assessment, the organization might make such an arrangement.

At this time, the transfer's main purpose is to let the cadre hand over work stably, gradually exit the core command sequence, and prepare for subsequent transfer and placement.

It no longer assumes the responsibility of assessment for promotion, but is a way for cadres to "soft land," taking into account both the cadre's professional dignity and the optimization of the troop team.

Some senior battalion commanders, when facing retirement, might also first hold the post of Deputy Regiment Commander to improve retirement treatment.

The second is to prepare for further taking charge of the whole regiment, just like the meaning Zhang Ren Chenggong just expressed.

Transferring from Chief of Staff to Deputy Regiment Commander is the most ideal path that also conforms to the conventional path of talent cultivation. Its core purpose is to let the main officer complete the transformation from "specialist" to "generalist."

The Chief of Staff mainly grasps combat planning and training coordination, focusing on "planning" and "strategy"; the Deputy Regiment Commander is in charge of administrative, logistics, and training implementation, focusing on "management" and "unification."

This kind of transfer aims to let the cadre supplement comprehensive management experience and become familiar with the overall work.

For a Chief of Staff Li Kezhang Ren Chenggong who has outstanding ability, age advantage, and is listed as a key cultivation object by the organization, transferring to Deputy Regiment Commander is often a necessary tempering before succeeding the Regiment Commander.

After completing the role transformation through a 1-2 year buffer period, one can smoothly be promoted to the main person in charge of the regiment, realizing a key leap in the military career.

"You guys keep drinking, I have to go back."

Zhang Ren Chenggong, after drinking a cup with Li Li Xuewu, took the initiative to stand up, looked at the few people, nodded, and said, "I'm on duty tonight."

"I'll accompany you." Shen Fang also wanted to stand up, but was pressed back by him, "Replace me to accompany the leaders for a few cups."

Zhang Ren Chenggong patted his shoulder, walked out of the restaurant quickly, and the figure bypassing the window looked somewhat embarrassed.

This is comradeship; he couldn't even bear to let his happy event disturb everyone's mood.

What kind of success is one person's success? Even if going to the Seventh Regiment, it's just taking over someone else's territory.

Shen Fang silently ate a hot dish, wiped the corner of his mouth, and raised his wine glass to signal Li Li Xuewu.

Li Li Xuewu also silently accompanied him for a cup; the two had known each other for many years, so the tacit understanding naturally didn't need to be said.

Slap—

It was Wang Wang Xiaoqin who slapped Qi Qi Yaowu on the back; this big man from Shandong Province was covering his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling.

Zhao Zhao Zhenhua appeared much more open and aboveboard, tears mixed with white wine, cup after cup.

"Actually, he doesn't want to leave," Shen Fang sent away Qi Qi Yaowu, Chu Chu Nanfang, and Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, smoked a cigarette, and only then said after a long silence, "At least he doesn't want to leave like this right now."

"Don't laugh at him; he feels aggrieved in his heart." Wang Wang Xiaoqin turned her head to look at Li Li Xuewu.

"Hmm, it's quite unexpected to hear."

Li Li Xuewu nodded slowly, looked at her, and asked, "Do you know what the situation is?"

"You haven't been in the capital for these two years; you missed many situations, and even more, you don't know the dangers inside here."

Wang Wang Xiaoqin shrank her body; the overcoat on her body couldn't block the cold wind in the winter day.

Li Li Xuewu signaled to the lit flower hall, asked them to stay for a while longer, and go drink a cup of tea together.

"Our regiment has developed too well."

Shen Fang exhaled a puff of smoke, both emotional and somewhat helpless, and said, "Looking back, it seems like I was dreaming."

He looked at Li Li Xuewu and said, "Ask the Garrison District, who is as awesome as our regiment, using helicopters for the first time."

"In the Garrison District's grand competition, every project's top three had the names of our regiment's soldiers; it was infinitely glorious."

"It's cold at high altitudes?" Li Li Xuewu patted his shoulder, supported him to the steps of the flower hall.

Shen Fang walked very steadily, waved his hand to signal he wasn't drunk, but tripped over the threshold when entering the door.

The flower hall was as its name suggested; all around were octagonal halls surrounded by glass windows, and under the windows were radiators covered by green flower boxes.

Inside, the air was humid, the temperature was pleasant, and flowers were blooming, red, pink, yellow, and purple, which was very pleasing.

Everyone has a love for beauty; even the two people with low emotions felt slightly relieved when walking into it.

Surrounded by flowers, tables and chairs were interspersed, and on the table were tea trays and teacups, and there were three thermos bottles of hot water prepared at their feet.

Li Li Xuewu pointed to the opposite side of the tea tray, while he walked to the inside and took the initiative to make tea for the two.

The south is particular about Kung Fu tea, while the north is slightly rough, preferring to be straightforward; tea leaves aren't even washed, more is added, hot water is poured, and the taste spreads.

The teapot tilted, and thick tea soup was poured into the tea cup; each got a portion of fragrant tea to relieve the wine.

If it's to relieve wine, strong tea is good, but the night was deep, and they were all people in the government office, unable to control themselves, and had to work tomorrow.

So the tea Li Li Xuewu made wasn't strong or light, just like the measure he treated his comrades-in-arms tonight, just right.

"The meaning above is actually very clear."

Shen Fang had no taboos here, and whatever words he couldn't hide, he said directly.

"Only leaving Chu Chu Nanfang, Wang Xiaoqin, and me, anyone with heels could think of how it's considered."

"You think about things with your heels?"

Wang Wang Xiaoqin was holding a teacup, unable to bear his vulgarity, and glanced at him dissatisfiedly.

Shen Fang didn't care at all, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I could think of it with my heels, I wouldn't do it like this."

"That's considering with your heels."

Wang Wang Xiaoqin took a light sip of hot tea, frowned slightly, put down the teacup, and said, "Be more mature, look from top to bottom."

Li Li Xuewu listened to the conversation between the two, looked at her, then looked at him, picked up the thermos bottle, and refilled the teapot with hot water.

"Where did Political Commissar Zhao go?" He asked.

"Political Department, Deputy Director." Shen Fang's mouth was harder, he raised the teacup and took a fierce sip, not minding it was hot.

"That can be considered okay." Li Li Xuewu nodded and said, "At least you weren't completely wiped out."

"Losing you is our biggest loss." Wang Wang Xiaoqin raised her head and glanced at him, then said, "Until today, Qi Qi Yaowu is still nagging about this matter."

"Each has their own fate." Li Li Xuewu raised the teacup and said, "Where in the world is there a banquet that doesn't end."

He drank a cup of hot tea, smiled faintly, and said, "If we really stayed together for a lifetime, we might get tired of looking at each other."

"Heh—" Wang Wang Xiaoqin said amusingly, "You always have something to say; now you also have the demeanor of an associate professor."

"Right, I'm a cultural person now."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and put down the teacup, picked up the teapot, and refilled the two's teacups with new tea.

Wang Wang Xiaoqin and Shen Fang looked at each other and couldn't help but joke with a smile, "Do we have to call you Professor Li from now on?"

"Sure," Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as you don't find it tooth-aching, I don't find it cold."

"Hahahaha—" Shen Fang had already been amused by the conversation between the two and laughed loudly.

Zhou Wang Yamei carried a food box and walked in, smiling and nodding to Wang Wang Xiaoqin and Shen Fang who turned their heads.

"Is this also your confidante?"

Shen Fang was originally careless, and today he drank wine, so he started joking while borrowing the fun.

Li Li Xuewu also smiled and didn't speak, while Zhou Wang Yamei generously served them the fruit platter.

"The restaurant said there were many meat dishes tonight; a few leaders eat some fruit to relieve the greasiness."

She set the fruit, picked up the teapot to refill their tea again, and only then left politely.

"You really have good fortune—"

Shen Fang was stepped on by Wang Wang Xiaoqin under the table but still didn't move, shaking his head with emotion.

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked, "Looking at it this way, sister-in-law's family education is still not strict enough."

"Hahahaha!" This time it was Wang Wang Xiaoqin; she laughed loudly, patted Shen Fang who was stunned on the shoulder, and laughed until she bent her waist.

"You are already a cultural person, and your mouth is still so poisonous."

Shen Fang took a while to react, picked up the teacup and sipped it awkwardly, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him, cast his gaze toward Wang Wang Xiaoqin, and asked, "Are you going to take another step forward?"

"Hmm," Wang Wang Xiaoqin wiped the tears of laughter, drank a cup of hot tea, and explained, "After Qi Qi Yaowu and the others finished talking, the leader talked to me."

"Chu Chu Nanfang is taking the lead; it won't be easy for you two to be deputies, right?" Li Li Xuewu raised the teacup to look at the two and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with? Don't be polite."

Shen Fang and Wang Wang Xiaoqin looked at each other, the smile on their faces disappeared, and their brows frowned lightly.

After a while, Shen Fang asked, "Do you think the above did this to..."

"Try not to say such words in the future."

Wang Wang Xiaoqin frowned and interrupted him, "What you need to consider now is to take over Zhang Ren Chenggong's shift well, don't make mistakes."

"Sigh—" Shen Fang sighed and didn't say anything more; he also knew his career had come to an end.

He wasn't from a professional background in the first place, and without systematic qualifications, being able to reach this step could be considered a chance encounter.

He didn't have Li Li Xuewu's talent, able to jump out of the three realms and not be in the five elements, not having to suffer this reincarnation of suffering.

Just like what Wang Wang Xiaoqin said, doing the work in front of one's eyes is the right thing; thinking too much is being irresponsible to oneself.

Look at Wang Wang Xiaoqin again?

Actually, compared to Shen Fang, she has more possibilities.

Shen Fang was from the police station, but she had worked in political management positions for a long time and also had corporate management work experience.

If one were to really talk about it, after Qi Qi Yaowu and Zhao Zhao Zhenhua left, this circle had to take her as the core.

Why did he say it wouldn't be easy for the two to be deputies? Because Chu Chu Nanfang was neither 816 nor the Public Security Brigade.

When Chu Chu Nanfang first came to the Wei Third Regiment, they knew his background; his qualifications were deeper than everyone else's.

Under the current general environment, him taking the lead was almost a nailed-down thing.

When he came, Li Li Xuewu knew it would be like this, unless Qi Qi Yaowu and the others excluded him and joined forces to kick him away.

It's just that Qi Qi Yaowu and the others didn't have such bad intentions, and never thought about forming a clique, and Chu Chu Nanfang was even more magnanimous.

After a pot of tea was finished, Wang Wang Xiaoqin only then spoke of her worries, nothing more than whether the structural changes would affect the Wei Third Regiment's position in the Red Steel Group's joint unit system.

Li Li Xuewu couldn't give a guarantee, but now that everyone was an old acquaintance, there were ways to coordinate contradictions.

He didn't say who would fill these vacancies after Qi Qi Yaowu and the others left; whether the Wei Third Regiment would still have this combat effectiveness at that time was another matter.

However, cooperation is originally like this; no one dares to guarantee that brother units will always be brothers, right?

"What kind of brother units."

Gu Xiao Litong laughed and relayed the words of Wang Youhan, Deputy Director of the Beijing Automobile Management Committee, to Li Li Xuewu.

He described it vividly, "Are there brother units that stab in the back? Huh? You tell me—hahaha!"

"He didn't scold you together?"

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him amusingly and said, "You are also not a good thing."

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Xiao Litong said with a full face of innocence, "If one were to talk about it, we are brother units."

"Ha!" Li Li Xuewu sneered coldly and said, "You are one Beijing Auto, one Beijing Second Auto, of course you are brother units."

"What kind of tone is this?" Gu Xiao Litong asked with a mischievous smile, "Is it jealousy? Or envy?"

"I'm hateful—" Li Li Xuewu put down the teacup, sized him up, nodded, and asked himself, "How did I make a bastard friend like you."

"Hahahaha!" Harbin Auto Deputy Factory Director Dong Qiaomu laughed and patted the table, "Right, there's no mistake in describing it like that!"

"Go, go, go—which onion are you!"

Gu Xiao Litong waved his hand and said, "We brothers knew each other before you knew where you were, what are you joining in the fun for!"

He pulled Li Li Xuewu's arm and asked, "You tell me, how am I a bastard?"

"Hehe—" Li Li Xuewu looked at the few people opposite and said, "Do you all know what kind of person I hate most in my life?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Two-faced grass on the wall."

"Hahahaha—" This time everyone laughed, laughing at Gu Xiao Litong's bitter face.

"Hi! I've been wronged to death—"

Gu Xiao Litong waved his hand, stopped everyone's jokes, and tried hard to explain, "I'm sacrificing myself to feed the tiger; this is to get into the enemy's interior to obtain intelligence!"

"How do I see you looking like a bad guy!"

Jin Ling Auto's Deputy Factory Director Liu Yang held a teacup, but his shoulders shrugged while laughing, "Looking at it, it's like one!"

"You are the one who looks like a bad guy!" Gu Xiao Litong said, and even he laughed himself. He gathered his middle-part hairstyle and asked Li Li Xuewu somewhat unconfidently, "Is my hairstyle wrong?"

"Hehe—" Li Li Xuewu nodded lightly and said, "If one were to talk about acting as a traitor, you wouldn't even need makeup."

"Hahahaha—" Sichuan Auto Deputy General Manager Tang Rongxuan sprayed the tea in his mouth while laughing; this table in the teahouse was the most joyful.

There were also guests dissatisfied with the noise here, just about to stand up and come over to ask for an explanation, but were pulled back by their companions.

Without other reasons, one didn't need to listen carefully to what they were talking about; just looking at the young people standing or sitting around that table, one knew those people talking and laughing were not easy to provoke.

Li Li Xuewu came back this time also at the invitation of Gu Xiao Litong to meet with the deputy heads of various factories who came to Beijing to discuss the Automobile City project.

Before the formal meeting started, Gu Xiao Litong, as the host, first hosted a banquet for the brother counterparts who came from afar.

After the lunch ended, he took everyone out to drink tea, and his purpose was to sit on the second floor of the teahouse facing the street to watch the main road.

What was on the main road facing the teahouse?

Besides pedestrians on both sides of the street, there were cars coming and going; this was the most prosperous street in the capital.

Although everyone was talking and laughing, their gazes drifted toward the window; various cars shuttled through their line of sight, which also represented who was strong and who was weak in the domestic automobile field today.

Li Li Xuewu sat confidently by the window, with his back to the window, letting them look.

How many cars were in the capital, and how many of these cars were Red Star manufactured? He knew without looking.

Compared to other automobile manufacturing factories' neglect of the market, the Group Sales Corporation did market research every quarter.

Relatively speaking, the car ownership in this era wasn't high, and the management of cars was very convenient.

If the Red Steel Group wanted to know the market share of the Red Star brand, it only needed to go to the statistical department to verify it.

Gu Xiao Litong was somewhat envious; one could tell his mood at this time just by looking at him looking out the window from time to time, and then looking at Li Li Xuewu.

"Do you know why Deputy Director Wang hates you?"

He teased on purpose, "He said you are insidious and cunning, lacking the demeanor of a gentleman."

"Is this what he said?" Li Li Xuewu glanced at him suspiciously and said, "How come I hear it like you are biting words and chewing characters?"

"Stop teasing me—"

Tang Rongxuan held his stomach and waved his hand, amused, "The lunch was almost laughed out."

"Still have to say northerners are humorous."

Liu Yang smiled and raised the teacup to signal, "We wouldn't make such jokes."

"But in the matter of bragging, our habits are consistent." Li Li Xuewu raised his chin and signaled to Tang Rongxuan, "You call it 'setting up a dragon gate formation,' we call it 'pulling a calf'."

"Hahahaha—" Tang Rongxuan couldn't stop laughing; since they started drinking tea, his laughter hadn't stopped.

It wasn't strange that Li Li Xuewu and the others were talking and joking; it was really that Old Tang's laughter point was too low; he laughed himself while talking.

"Beijing Auto's Old Wang saying you are insidious is because of the 212 R&D project you did last year."

Gu Xiao Litong explained with a smile, "Now you tell me, how many factories are producing 212."

He pointed to the heads of several automobile manufacturing factories sitting around and asked a circle, and only then said to Li Li Xuewu, "It was you who didn't talk about martial arts first; don't blame others for scolding mothers."

"We are doing scientific research projects."

Li Li Xuewu emphasized seriously and dissatisfiedly, "Giving you authorization drawings and production data was for you to learn, refer to, and research; who told you to produce?"

He wasn't happy either, questioning the car factory heads who were laughing like Hu San Tai Ye.

Harbin Auto's Dong Qiaomu pointed at him and said, "We paid for the drawings and production formulas; what we do with them is none of your business!"

"Ha! I have no way to deal with this."

Li Li Xuewu's momentum instantly converged, he spread his hands toward Gu Xiao Litong and said, "Who told us to meet a bastard."

"You also saw it; I just emphasized that those drawings and production data were for learning and research, not allowed for other uses; it was them who violated the regulations, it has nothing to do with us."

He pointed at Gu Xiao Litong and said, "Since you are this grass on the wall, you bring a word to Beijing Auto's Deputy Director Wang, just say he cried at the wrong grave, and Red Steel is powerless to help."

"If he can't get over it, he can completely publish in the newspaper to scold the leaders of these car factories that imitate 212, or file a lawsuit."

"Dog fart—" Changzheng Auto's Yang Aidong laughed and scolded, "The drawings and parameters were bought from you; if we scold, we scold you, and if we file a lawsuit, we find you; what does it have to do with us."

"That is!" Dong Qiaomu curled his lips, hugged his arms, and said indignantly, "We paid; if we want to find someone, we find the initiator."

He looked at the others and spread his hands, "If one were to talk about it, we are also victims, deceived, right?"

"Right, right, right!" Yang Aidong and the others nodded one after another.

Li Li Xuewu looked at them with a full face of speechlessness, then looked at Gu Xiao Litong and signaled, "You saw it, right? Look at what kind of people you found? Same virtue as you—"

"Hey! You are getting arrogant!"

Dong Qiaomu pointed at him with a smile and said, "You are the youngest here; do you still want organizational discipline."

"Look, I'm reasoning with you, you say transaction; I'm talking to you about transaction, you say you were deceived."

Li Li Xuewu clapped his hands and sat up straight, "Now I say you are birds of a feather, did I wrong you?"

"No need to argue, he is scolding me."

Gu Xiao Litong had self-knowledge, laughed and explained, "You haven't dealt with him much; you don't know this person is best at beating around the bush and pointing at the mulberry to scold the locust."

"Oh, oh, if you say so, we are relieved."

Yang Aidong raised the teacup and joked on purpose, "I thought he was really scolding us."

"Old Yang, with your character, scolding you isn't too much."

Gu Xiao Litong laughed and scolded, and only then said seriously, "But don't just talk about me, also look at Beijing Auto's changes."

"Your character isn't that great either!"

Yang Aidong curled his lips and signaled to Li Li Xuewu, "Our Changzheng Auto is Red Steel's stable cooperation partner, unlike you two-faced goods."

"Hey! You are standing up!"

Gu Xiao Litong laughed and scolded, and only then said seriously, "But don't just talk about me, also look at Beijing Auto's changes."

He pointed his finger at the tea table and said seriously, "You all heard it, right? The superior allocated 12 million to Beijing Auto for technical upgrading and resource reorganization."

"Technical upgrading doesn't need to be said; it must be changing to mechanization and assembly line operations. What I want to say is the focus on resource reorganization."

"What kind of reorganization method?" Liu Yang held the teacup by his mouth and asked, "Tear down and build, build and tear down, playing the old tune?"

"Hey! This time it might be for real!" Gu Xiao Litong pointed at the few people and said, "If one were to talk about it, this is all forced by you."

"None of our business, we didn't put a knife to their necks." Dong Qiaomu drank a mouthful of hot tea indifferently.

"You all think, I just said, how many automobile manufacturing factories are there in the country?"

Gu Xiao Litong continued to ask, "And how many factories are producing 212?"

"The year before last, Steel Auto's production of the Hongxing Lingyang Second Generation caught 212 off guard, and later it was scared by the Journey."

He frowned and said, "Now not only do they have to face the realistic problem that even bicycle factories can assemble 212, they also encountered Steel Auto's full series of vehicle model upgrades, is that right?"

Gu Xiao Litong first asked Li Li Xuewu, and seeing he didn't deny it, he continued, "The Hongxing Lingyang Third Generation is here; for Beijing Auto, it's the wolf is here."

"The wolf has long been here—"

Changzheng Auto was located in Hebei Province and knew Steel Auto best; he curled his lips and said, "Their reaction is really slow enough."

"The stall is big, and they can't turn around."

Gu Xiao Litong nodded and said, "If it were you, it's not necessarily that someone would have this ability."

"The key is Steel Auto's fighting style is completely different. Li Li Xuewu is right here; if you don't believe it, ask him."

He pointed to Li Li Xuewu and said, "You ask him, say if the Hongxing Lingyang car's development is playing the hooligan."

"This is called strategic tactics; you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him and emphasized seriously, "We are a serious enterprise."

"I didn't say Red Steel isn't serious; I'm saying you aren't serious." Gu Xiao Litong glanced at him and signaled to the car flow outside the window, "These two years Beijing Auto is also actively changing its thinking, and also started to reflect on the set of the past."

"So people are prepared, and only then did they take a complete and feasible plan to find the superior for funds."

He patted the tea table lightly with his hand and said, "You should know that Beijing Auto and the 171 Factory have formed a parts supply chain alliance internally; people's parts industry is very complete."

"If they really turn over in this, then our Automobile City project in Steel City might encounter an earthquake."

"Are you afraid?" Dong Qiaomu's personality was very direct, looked at him and said, "Can't we beat them with so many factories?"

"Besides, Red Steel has a very complete parts processing system in Steel City; that's numerical control lathe operation."

He sat up straight, pointed at the table seriously and emphasized, "I dare to say this, the Automobile City project is built, for Beijing Auto and the 171 Factory, it's an earthquake! You tell me!"

"That's true—" Yang Aidong frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "The project hasn't started yet; morale cannot be lost."

"This has nothing to do with morale; this is a fact."

Dong Qiaomu raised his chin and signaled to Li Li Xuewu who was sitting with his back to the window, "We can ask Red Steel if they are afraid."

This corner of the second floor of the teahouse suddenly became quiet, and everyone's gaze gathered on Li Li Xuewu.

Li Li Xuewu put down the teacup and said faintly, "The Red Steel Group's automobile industry didn't come from begging or borrowing from the grass-roots level to standing firm; it was fought out by ourselves."

He scanned the crowd and asked back, "What are we afraid of? Shouldn't it be them who have always been afraid of us?"

"Right!" Dong Qiaomu patted the table, his tone firm, "Whether they can spend this 12 million clearly is another matter; our Automobile City project is about to start."

"I came today to give everyone a bottom line." Li Li Xuewu adjusted his posture, looked at the few people and said, "Last month I talked with Deputy Director Lu in Fengcheng who is in charge of industry."

"Including Hu Ke, as well as Wang Lu, the Deputy Director in charge of industrial work in Steel City, I talked about our plan."

He said faintly, "I won't describe their reactions, just the results of the preliminary communication."

"First is the land, right next to the Red Steel Industrial Zone, dividing another piece of land, until the foot of the mountain."

Li Li Xuewu pointed with his finger and sketched the approximate map of Steel City on the table with tea water.

After marking the Red Steel Industrial Zone and the urban area, only then did he tell everyone the orientation where the proposed automobile factory would be built.

"Then talk about traffic and conditions." He pointed on the tea table and explained, "Liaodong Industry allocates special funds, and Steel City is responsible for the four connections and one leveling of this plot."

Those who study architectural engineering should all know the four connections and one leveling; it refers to the basic preparation work before the construction project starts, referring to water connection, electricity connection, road connection, communication connection, and site leveling.

One should know that in this era, being able to do this for an enterprise to move in is unique in the whole country.

It can be said that this term "four connections and one leveling" was a new term proposed by Li Li Xuewu during communication with the Liaodong industrial side.

Wang Lu's courage was really big; relying on the Red Steel Group and the abundant resources Steel City already possessed, he dared to guarantee the implementation of this project to Lu Qiming.

So to speak, if Steel City really did this set of standards for the move-in of the Automobile City, it would be considered a new trick to spoil the child in the whole country, the existence of buying a horse bone with a thousand gold.

Just after Li Li Xuewu explained the policy of four connections and one leveling, the factory directors and deputy factory directors of these automobile manufacturing factories sitting around looked at each other, and the shock in their eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Don't be happy too early." Li Li Xuewu knocked on the tea table with his finger and reminded, "Steel City also has conditions."

"Of course there should be conditions." Yang Aidong nodded and said, "If we were given this environment for nothing, we wouldn't feel at ease."

"Hehe—" Li Li Xuewu smiled, glanced at him, and only then said, "The Automobile City has to pay taxes when it lands."

"Pay taxes?" Liu Yang frowned slightly and asked, "Industrial and commercial tax, or the accumulation tax that Bincheng once engaged in?"

"Industrial and commercial tax, the accumulation tax has already been canceled." Li Li Xuewu raised the teacup and drank, explaining, "In principle, the branch factories you build in Steel City have to pay industrial and commercial tax to the local area; this belongs to the nature of negotiation, not forced."

"Negotiation..." Yang Aidong could actually better understand this kind of statement, frowned slightly and asked, "How do we calculate the industrial and commercial tax in our own province?"

"That's why I said it needs to be solved through negotiation."

Li Li Xuewu lifted his breath and said, "I believe everyone has considered this before participating in this project."

"And everyone is very clear about how high the success rate of this project is, especially when we join hands together."

He nodded slowly and said, "But what I want to say is, without the support of the local area, no project can last long."

"The relationship between an enterprise and the local area should be a relationship of mutual promotion. We are not here to take advantage, right?"

"That's true." Dong Qiaomu nodded and said, "Since we can get the land and enjoy the early-stage engineering construction treatment, it can be seen that people are sincere."

"What about after paying the industrial and commercial tax?"

Liu Yang frowned and asked, "Will there be troublesome things like worker placement, local coordination, etc.?"

"Everyone has this worry; actually, you don't need to say it."

Li Li Xuewu folded his right leg, nodded and explained, "Even our group faces such problems in Liaodong."

He pointed to the few people and asked, "Don't you have this kind of problem bothering you in your own province? You all have it, right?"

Seeing the few people nod, he only then continued to explain, "Actually, if I were to say it, it depends on human effort."

"We hold together for warmth; the original meaning of the Automobile City is also that unity is victory, right."

"Is it cooperative investment, or fighting on one's own?"

Tang Rongxuan asked, "We have to build branch factories; there must be a plan."

"This cannot be said to be fighting on one's own."

Li Li Xuewu smiled, looked at him and said, "It should be said to be self-reliance and arduous struggle."

After his words were finished, the few people smiled lightly, understanding the meaning behind his words.

"Red Steel can guarantee the full opening of the supply chain system here, ensuring that factories settling in the Automobile City enjoy all treatments."

Li Li Xuewu pointed on the armrest of the chair and continued, "Red Steel will also conditionally open export channels, giving everyone an opportunity to display themselves on the international stage."

"Of course, there are conditions."

He emphasized seriously, "Whether we can go out, and whether we can go out, depends on whether the quality of everyone's products can be recognized by others; this is the standard."

"Furthermore, the Red Steel Group Sales Corporation has a plan this year, which is to form Automobile Cities in major domestic cities." Li Li Xuewu saw them stunned, smiled and explained, "It's not this Automobile City, but sales and service ports, providing multiple vehicle models and after-sales service."

"Can our cars also move in?"

Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Or is it that only products of the Automobile City project can enter this market?"

"This point depends on the regulation of the Sales Corporation, but as far as I know, there will be discounts on fees."

Li Li Xuewu looked at him and explained, "Because the Steel City Automobile City project itself compressed production costs, and used the Red Steel Group Logistics Corporation's channels for transportation, transportation costs were further compressed, and our sales space was expanded."

"This method is relatively good." Tang Rongxuan supported the armrest and straightened his body, "If we can bring down the price of products, our competitiveness can also be greatly improved."

"The important thing is competitiveness."

Li Li Xuewu pointed at him and said, "Red Steel gave Steel Auto an order and indicator this year to expand production capacity."

He gave everyone an explanation without any avoidance, "When I held a meeting for the Steel Auto team, I also said that we only have a few years at most; the domestic market is only this big, and whoever occupies it is whose."

"What to do after the original market space is occupied? We have to fight for new market space."

Li Li Xuewu's speech had a lot of wolf nature, staring at the few people with powerful eyes, "In the future, we are going to eliminate a large batch of brother units, and we are going to win the market and widen the gap."

"When we look back again, perhaps they are no longer there, or waiting for us to receive their inheritance."

He raised his chin slightly and said frankly, "Only then do we have the qualification to show the virtue of pity."

"But now, we must be ruthless." ===== CHAPTER 1663 =====
