Chapter 1668: Safe and Sound

"Secretary-General."

Xiao Zihong stood by the car and took the initiative to help open the car door, his attitude more respectful than before.

Counting back five years, if Li Xuewu had opened the door for him, he would have thought it was in the way, but who let the wheel of fortune turn?

Li Xuewu's rank had advanced a step further, and the title of Secretary-General was well-deserved, with both substance and appearance.

Xiao Zihong didn't need anyone to teach him what attitude to have toward a major leader of the Group.

"Hmm, it's so late and you haven't gotten off work yet?"

Li Xuewu reached out and patted his arm, saying in a gentle tone, "You've worked hard."

"Not hard, there's nothing going on tonight."

Xiao Zihong smiled and explained, "Knowing you were coming, I said I was prepared to wait for you to have tea together."

"Heh, blame Hu Ke, he's too clingy."

Li Xuewu joked, "He wouldn't let me go after drinking, insisted on rambling for a while."

"Why? Did he beg for alms from you?"

Perhaps he had been annoyed by the entanglement during this period, so he had a stress reaction when he heard such words.

Li Xuewu glanced at him, shook his head amusingly, and walked into the lobby of the Tuanjie Hotel with him.

The hotel manager and service staff had long been waiting on the side, and now seeing him come in, they greeted him one after another.

Li Xuewu's attitude was also very warm as he waved to everyone, and only then did he go to the third floor accompanied by Xiao Zihong.

"Is our hotel open to the public?"

He saw quite a few people living on the first and second floors while going upstairs, with people coming in and out of the corridor.

Xiao Zihong frowned slightly, and only responded when he heard his inquiry, "Yes, there are more people, so the pressure of environmental control is high."

"Very normal, don't overthink it, I'm just asking."

Li Xuewu patted his arm again, which was the second time since getting off the car.

This action seemed ordinary, but its significance was different; at least in the eyes of others, the relationship between the two was very close.

"It's good to have more people, which shows our service is good and the environment is good; this is all for our revenue, right?"

He pointed out with a smile to Xiao Zihong, and after going to the third floor, he could clearly feel it was much quieter.

It wasn't that there were fewer people on the third floor, but that there were service personnel on duty here, and the service quality was even better.

The rooms here were very expensive for the public, and the facilities were more complete; some suites could even cost 5 yuan a night.

This was the Tuanjie Hotel, not the standard of the International Hotel.

From the end of this year to the beginning of next year, the Red Steel Group would have five major projects completed one after another.

Yingcheng port area, Yuezhou port area, Steel City industrial zone, Liangma River industrial zone, and Red Star International Hotel.

These were behemoths with a total investment of over ten million; the Red Steel Group invested several projects of millions every year.

Saying they wanted to cut projects, save expenses, and clench their fists didn't mean they wouldn't spend any money.

The electronic technology research institute established through negotiations with Sanhe Stock Company earlier was a project of millions.

Sanhe took a part of the money, and the Red Steel Group took a part itself; this project didn't engage in the fund-raising set.

Why?

Because it's best not to share a hen that can lay eggs with others.

Even Sanhe Stock Company was the passive party, forced by the Red Steel Group to transfer scientific research power.

Li Xuewu didn't come out to play this time; he also carried an inspection task, which was about the reception project.

"Have you been to the airport lately?"

The waiter efficiently opened the room that had been prepared long ago, and there wasn't even a lock on the door.

Li Xuewu nodded to indicate, then walked into the room, turned his head, and asked Xiao Zihong.

Xiao Zihong nodded and responded, "I've been there, entrusted by General Manager Xue, I coordinated some engineering problems."

"Hmm, one post, multiple abilities, more work, more pay."

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa, waved his hand, and gestured for him to sit down, meaning he wanted to talk.

And Xiao Zihong had waited for him here for over two hours; if he didn't have the meaning to talk, he would have left long ago.

Ma Baosen, together with the waiter, brought them hot tea, and the waiter even brought a fruit platter that had been prepared long ago.

"Thank you, you have a heart."

The thank you was to the waiter, and not to trouble was to Xiao Zihong.

He looked at the muskmelon in the fruit platter and knew that this thing was definitely not cheap at this time of year.

Xiao Zihong carefully pulled out a tissue, held a strip for him, and said, "This taste is not bad, we did it ourselves, you try it."

"That warm shed behind?"

Li Xuewu looked at him unexpectedly, then looked at the melon, and only then took it.

Xiao Zihong was actually very kind, otherwise he wouldn't have broken through under Li Xuewu's hands and been able to shepherd one side.

He first invited Li Xuewu to eat, then divided the melon strips that were neatly arranged in the fruit platter to the service staff serving in the room, as well as Li Xuewu and his own secretary.

Four muskmelons were divided among several people, each eating two to three strips, accompanied by fragrant tea, which was just right for a spring night.

Li Xuewu only ate one strip, then refused his offer again, explaining, "Too sweet, it's cloying."

His accent had also changed; he had a family Northeastern accent, and later worked here for more than two years.

However, there was still a taste of Beijing dialect in some colloquialisms, and the accent also reflected the scope of the cadre's work to a certain extent.

Xiao Zihong saw that he didn't eat anymore, so he stopped his mouth; Li Xuewu's ability to restrain his desires left a deep impression on him.

If one were to discuss who in the Group could endure, who could restrain their emotions, and who could calmly handle problems, it would be this young Secretary-General.

He rarely saw Li Xuewu lose his temper, and scolding subordinates was even rarer.

Especially since leaving the Security Department, everyone in the Group said the Secretary-General had become much more scholarly and much kinder.

The word "kind" was a bit incongruous when used on Li Xuewu, but one could indeed feel this attitude.

Li Xuewu was becoming more and more at ease in handling the relationship with grassroots comrades.

Whether it was research visits or going deep into the workshop, he could chat well with anyone, and the workers' impression of him was also very good.

Xiao Zihong was unconvinced before, especially when he was punished and went to the Security Department to be Li Xuewu's deputy.

But after contact, he didn't go from unconvinced to convinced, but directly transitioned to admiration and reverence.

What he revered wasn't Li Xuewu's ability, but this mentality that transformed with rank and position.

There was no twist, no smugness, no hypocrisy, never.

It was as if this identity change hadn't happened at all.

But when facing him, he had to remind himself to be more respectful and humble.

There was a saying in the Group: Don't be crazy; can you be crazier than Li Haiyang?

Both were outstanding young cadres; Li Haiyang followed Li Huai De for three years and took off as soon as he landed.

But look, wasn't he still working obediently under Li Xuewu? Such a crazy person didn't dare to explode; why?

The Secretary-General never said he convinced people with virtue, but he could make you feel it; if you couldn't feel it, it meant you were about to, and could only feel his fists and feet.

"Our factory has a small population, and there is a surplus after the thermal energy conversion project is covered, so we thought about setting up a warm shed."

Xiao Zihong took the towel handed by the secretary, gave it to Li Xuewu first, and only then wiped his hands and corners of his mouth.

"I didn't think I could make a big splash, just to adjust the fun of the workers' lives."

He smiled, gestured to the waiter's direction, and said, "Now it has become a revenue-generating project for the Tuanjie Hotel."

"As long as you put your heart into it, right?"

Li Xuewu also looked at the Tuanjie Hotel manager standing at the door with appreciation and nodded to show approval.

The manager smiled and retreated, Ma Baosen invited the waiter to leave together, leaving the room to the two leaders.

"I heard you're choosing a site in Fengcheng? Building a hotel?"

Xiao Zihong still couldn't help but inquire softly, "The International Hotel project hasn't been completed yet, this—"

He looked at Li Xuewu's complexion and hesitated before asking, "Won't it be too urgent?"

"Have you read the project plan for the International Hotel?"

Li Xuewu picked up his teacup and took a small sip, and seeing that he didn't understand his meaning, he explained, "Operation plan."

"No, I just heard some situations." Xiao Zihong shook his head slightly and said, "Is there any plan?"

"Listening to both sides makes you clear; you should take a look."

Li Xuewu put down his teacup and said, "It's not that we are doing a report on how many guests we can receive and how much profit we can make in a year; I'm talking about the investigation and prediction of the market."

"Although you are a person in charge of a production enterprise, you must have market sensitivity and cognitive senses."

He pointed to his head and said to Xiao Zihong, "If you don't have this thinking, you won't go far."

"It worked before, or it works in other units; the factory director is the factory director, and there's no need to consider other things."

Li Xuewu paused here, looked at him and asked, "But now that you are transferred, to another unit, are you willing?"

"The Group is now a fast train; if you are on the train, you run faster than others, is that the principle?"

"Hmm." Xiao Zihong certainly understood his meaning, frowned slightly, and nodded slowly.

"I'll tell you this: don't say in Beijing, even looking at the whole country, the International Hotel is the highest."

Li Xuewu tapped the sofa armrest and said, "Think for yourself, what does this eye-catching effect mean for the current reception market?"

"Your meaning is..." Xiao Zihong seemed to understand, and the look in his eyes when looking at him carried speculation.

"Of course, these are all part of the plan."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "In the future, the reception business under the Group will be divided into two directions."

"One is the Tuanjie Hotel that takes into account the internal, and the other is the International Hotel that provides higher-level service."

He turned his palm and said, "The Tuanjie Hotel relies on the Red Steel Group's branches in various places to carry out necessary expansion."

"And the International Hotel will be established according to the Group's and the economic development status of major cities."

"The first one is in Beijing, the second one is in Fengcheng?"

Xiao Zihong asked, "Even if you are full of confidence in the hotel's operation, where does the money to build this hotel in Fengcheng come from?"

"United Savings Bank." Li Xuewu picked up his teacup, raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly, "You should learn what capital operation is now; this is very important."

After speaking, he took a sip of tea, and while putting down the teacup, he explained, "The International Hotel will take the financing route."

"Of course, from the ownership and operation mode, you can also distinguish the Tuanjie Hotel accordingly."

"Is it money rolling money? Rolling all the time?"

Xiao Zihong really hadn't come into contact with knowledge about capital operation, and listening to it, he only felt it was very incredible.

Those units that invested in the International Hotel threw money in, and before they saw the hotel open, before they saw the trend of returning capital, would they continue to invest in this project?

"Yes, rolling all the time, rolling one after another."

Li Xuewu found it interesting to hear him say this, so he explained along this meaning, "Those without money will retreat, and whoever has money will continue to follow at the table."

"Anyway, the Group's shares will not be diluted, and the operation rights will always be in our hands; it just depends on who the partner is."

To put it bluntly, this is a gold-swallowing beast; if you can't keep up with the rhythm of this project, you will be thrown off.

And keeping up all the time, what you are betting on is that this project of the Red Steel Group will make money every day.

Of course, with the reception market not fully opened in the country, the brand of the International Hotel is considered top-tier.

Originally, it had very brilliant service quality, plus first-class hardware facilities; there weren't many in the country that could fight.

If you want to talk about that kind of high-level reception hotel inside, no one should say who is better.

That kind of hotel is one hundred people serving one person, and the International Hotel is one hundred people serving one thousand people.

At present, the Group attaches great importance to this project, because since the Tuanjie Hotel opened to the public, the cash flow has been abundant.

In this era, many enterprises and units' reception centers are operating at a loss, with poor service attitudes and poor hardware facilities.

One or five cents can stay for a night, solving the problem of accommodation.

But the times are developing, and society is progressing; compared with the previous decade, the economy in the 70s was much better.

Did you think cadres didn't look for better reception centers when they went on business trips before?

They had travel expense indicators, and they couldn't save them if they didn't spend them; they were all reimbursed by tickets, so why wrong themselves?

Especially when coming to Beijing for business trips, who didn't want to go out and turn around? Of course, they had to choose an accommodation location with better service.

The Red Steel Group Tuanjie Hotel opened to the public, and all accommodation passengers could enjoy basic services, such as shuttle buses.

After the worker new village was built, the worker commuter buses were idle; some were used as buses in the Liangma River industrial zone, and some were used on the city shuttle buses of the reception hotel.

It seems that the effect brought by this kind of service is not very strong, but the increase in accommodation passengers is very considerable.

Since last year, the Group has not injected capital into reception enterprises, and financial audits show that the reception system after the change has been able to achieve a balance of payments, and even make money.

You see the International Hotel is very small, but that is the real cash cow; it makes a profit of ten or twenty thousand every day.

Actually, Xiao Zihong is also looking at the Red Chamber and crying for Daiyu, purely worrying blindly; can Old Li be willing to do business that doesn't make money?

"Last year I asked you if you wanted to move."

Li Xuewu turned the topic in another direction, looked at Xiao Zihong and said, "Half a year has passed, do you still want to move?"

Xiao Zihong straightened his body and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but held back; he knew Li Xuewu had something to say.

"I can tell you clearly that the Group will focus on investment and development in Fengcheng in the future."

Li Xuewu looked at him and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I hope you can endure loneliness and keep prosperity."

"Secretary-General, I don't quite understand."

Xiao Zihong inquired hesitantly, "Except for the transport project brought by the Tadong Airport, plus our mechanical factory, even if there is an International Hotel project, is there anything else?"

"These are three points, not yet connected into a line."

Li Xuewu explained faintly, "The airport cannot be a freight airport forever, and the scale of your factory will also expand."

He pointed to Xiao Zihong and emphasized, "Think for yourself, will the future mechanical manufacturing also be the world of CNC machine tools?"

"Don't talk about the airport project, don't talk about the hotel project, just talk about your machine tool factory, it's enough for you to eat until you are old."

What Xiao Zihong was struggling with wasn't how much the Group would invest in Fengcheng, but wanting to hear his own arrangements from Li Xuewu's mouth.

Just listening to this meaning of Li Xuewu, one could guess that he was very likely unable to leave.

He didn't leave, and with the upgrade of the mechanical manufacturing factory and the linkage with the International Hotel and the airport, he could also progress.

"The Group attaches great importance to the Northeast, and Fengcheng is the excellent core."

Li Xuewu saw that he was still thinking, and said bluntly, "Do you think the Group wants to develop Steel City as the headquarters of the Northeast branch?"

"Wrong, you should still look at the Five-Year Plan."

He frowned and emphasized, "From the beginning, the Group positioned Steel City as an integrated industrial zone for light and heavy mixed industry."

"Your mechanical factory has a certain foundation in Fengcheng, so it wasn't moved away; it's the same nature as Yingcheng Shipping."

Li Xuewu straightened his waist and continued, "I'll tell you another situation: the project of the Northeast Industrial Development General Company has already entered the demonstration and approval stage."

Hearing him talk about this, Xiao Zihong's eyes lit up.

"Feel that there is a lot to do, right?"

Li Xuewu couldn't help but laugh at his expression, and continued, "I am also considering the site selection problem; should I choose Steel City first and move later, or choose Fengcheng directly and do it in one step?"

"Choosing Fengcheng is for..."

Xiao Zihong asked hesitantly, "Is it to radiate the entire Northeast region?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Li Xuewu drew a circle with his finger and said, "What the Group wants is to build an economic network in Northeast Asia."

"The Northeast has the best industrial production resources, and the Northeast Asia region, except for the north, is the natural customer with the least industrial production capacity in other directions; I think there is a lot to do."

Xiao Zihong was a bit surprised; actually, he had heard this argument long ago, and it was spread from Li Xuewu's mouth.

But he felt that this possibility was very small, unless it was cooperation with Japan and South Korea; North Korea and North Russia, as well as Mongolia, were all product coverage areas under the North Russian industrial system.

The Red Steel Group wants to take root in the Northeast and then expand outward; what it needs to break through is not just the economic cooperation barrier.

"The world is changing, it has been changing."

Li Xuewu pinched his fingers and continued, "At the beginning of this year, the Group's team was discussing whether to set up a new sales company area in the Northeast region."

"Still need to refine?" Xiao Zihong was stunned and asked, "Isn't the Tianjin Trade Management Center responsible for it?"

"Business exchanges are increasing, especially after the Yingcheng port area and Fengcheng are connected into a line."

Li Xuewu said, "By then, the sales company's business will expand to a degree you can't imagine."

"So in the future, there will be the Northeast area, North China area, Southwest area, etc., of the Sales General Company."

He nodded slowly and said, "Even the newly established Jiangnan area will be gradually split, depending on business development."

Xiao Zihong only truly understood why the Group frequently interacted with the Liaodong side and why Group leaders came to Fengcheng many times.

After standing firm in Steel City and Yingcheng, they wanted to advance inland, take Fengcheng as a base, concentrate their strength to radiate to the surroundings, and form absolute influence.

Before, it was said that the Red Steel Group came directly to Fengcheng from Beijing; without a certain influence and strength, where could they get the current treatment?

Not to mention anything else, every time Li Xuewu came to Liaodong, Hu Ke received him personally; this treatment was not something an ordinary person could have.

Li Huai De hadn't come for two years; if he had come, Liaodong would have at least had leaders like Deputy Director Lu to receive him.

What he could see was the Group's tactics, and what Li Xuewu and these Group leaders were doing now was strategy.

"This is the reason I want you to stay in Fengcheng."

Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "I told you that the Group is engaging in the rejuvenation of cadres."

"I understand." Xiao Zihong said with a bitter smile, "This year, our workshop 6 produced a 27-year-old workshop director."

"There will be more and more such situations in the future."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The most obvious one is the electronics factory; the oldest workshop director is no more than 35 years old; the pressure you will face when you return to the Group will be even greater."

He smiled when he reached this point and said, "Isn't that saying good, a new generation replaces the old."

"Don't say that, it's so desolate."

Xiao Zihong had already figured it out after his explanation, and joked at this moment, "I still want to fight for the Group for a few more years."

"I also want to live for a few more years."

Everyone has prospects for their future and life; even farmers facing the loess and backing the sky will hope for a good harvest next year.

Sitting in the chair, listening to the judge read the verdict about him, the expression on Sun Ming's face instantly stiffened.

He had thought that he would face capital punishment, but he just never thought it would come so early and so fast.

From being arrested in October last year to now, it had only been half a year.

He still wanted to live, really, he didn't want to die; he had long ago expressed repentance to the joint investigation team and actively awakened to cooperate.

However, he awakened a bit late and didn't cooperate thoroughly enough, so there was no room for maneuver regarding his verdict.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

This era is quite special; there are many forms of trial, and for someone like Sun Ming, even only one judge met with him, and there wasn't even a defense stage for a lawyer.

However, no matter how simple the procedure was, it gave Sun Ming a chance to speak, which was the most basic respect for life.

"Do I still have a chance to make up for my mistakes?"

Sun Ming said with a trembling voice, "I am willing to repent, I am willing to reform; you can let me labor reform for a lifetime, I don't want to die..."

The judge looked at him, didn't answer, didn't promise him anything, just followed the procedure and listened to him finish.

Sun Ming couldn't speak anymore; he had long expected it; he had a premonition when his second aunt's husband died.

If his second aunt's husband hadn't died in advance this time, he might not have died.

This feeling is very mysterious and real, because for this case until now, someone has to take responsibility.

It can only be said that his second aunt's husband died in vain.

Li Xuewu received this news in Fengcheng, and Liu Wei called him personally.

She mentioned Sun Ming's last request on the phone, wanting to see him, but she refused.

There was no need to see, and nothing to see; Liu Wei didn't think Li Xuewu would see him, nor did she think Sun Ming could say anything.

No regrets after the move; from the moment Sun Ming couldn't control his desires, he should have been mentally prepared.

What should be eaten has been eaten, what should be drunk has been drunk, and the rest can only be faced calmly.

Li Xuewu stayed in Fengcheng for two days, first meeting with university leaders with Hu Ke, and finalizing the school-enterprise cooperation.

Hu Ke still attached great importance to this project, went to Steel City to see him personally, and invited him to Fengcheng to coordinate cooperation.

He had to give this face, both sides finalized, and next they would prepare for the project establishment and promotion work.

Returning from Fengcheng, Zhang Enyuan took the initiative to report to his office about the work situation after going to the hardware factory.

Ma Baosen, seeing his master, also tried his best to perform, serving tea and water, as if accepting an exam.

After Zhang Enyuan reported his work, he felt he was an eyesore and drove him out.

Actually, the relationship between secretaries is very subtle, because the one who left is considered to have lost reliance on the leader, and the new secretary is the one with the backer.

But this relationship hadn't been seen in Zhang Enyuan and Ma Baosen, at least not yet.

"Deputy Factory Director Zhang has been in frequent contact with Director Li; this is the situation I found out."

Closing the office door, Zhang Enyuan walked back and reported softly, "I know that after he came to Steel City, he has been coordinating with the joint investigation team, for the purpose of handling his brother's affairs."

"The relationship between these two brothers is really good."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "He said the same thing in front of me, very directly."

"The cases involved by Sun Ming are being understood one by one; it looks like he is a bit anxious."

Zhang Enyuan said hesitantly, "I communicated privately with Director Liu Wei, and she is also very helpless."

"Very normal, she called me."

Li Xuewu picked up his teacup and took a sip, saying, "Her meaning is that the above wants to finish these cases as soon as possible."

"That's it," Zhang Enyuan said softly, "We also guessed so, so Sun Ming was sentenced first."

Actually, Li Xuewu had some words he didn't say to Liu Wei, and naturally wouldn't say to Zhang Enyuan.

He had long known that there would be such a time, because Old Li mentioned this point in a call with him earlier.

Old Li mentioned Su Weide's recent movements on the phone; nominally he returned to the Group, but in fact, he hadn't come to work, even more hidden than Old Xiong.

At least everyone knew where Xiong Bencheng was, but if you wanted to find Su Weide, you had to spend some effort.

Li Huai De revealed on the phone that the above hoped that the Red Steel Group would restore management order as soon as possible, didn't want to waste time on these cases, and didn't want to cause more waves.

This also verified the suggestion Li Xuewu gave him; he went to apply for retaining Su Weide to test the reaction from above.

Now everything indicates that the suggestion Li Xuewu gave was correct, and he must be convinced.

After the situation and predicament faced over the past year, Old Li had lost some confidence.

Now, whenever there is an important decision, he must contact Li Xuewu.

Either Liu Bin contacts him, or he calls personally, and even requires Li Xuewu to answer his calls at any time.

It was also under this pressure that Old Li's request for him to return to the Group as soon as possible increased by a few points.

Old Li certainly wouldn't say things like begging him to return to the Group to work as soon as possible, but frequently asked about the candidate for Deputy Secretary-General.

Li Xuewu didn't want to find trouble for himself; he already had this candidate, but he still needed time to observe and coordinate.

In mid-March, the provincial university expert group organized by Liaodong officially moved into the Red Steel Group Liaodong Steel City Industrial Zone. Li Xuewu specially provided them with office space and provided accommodation arrangements, just to let them come and see what projects could be cooperated with.

Hu Ke's strength this time was also great; he invited the persons in charge and experts of universities in the province, and went to the workshop to see the site and the production line to see the technology personally.

You can't find cooperation projects by sitting in the office; now that there is on-site office, whoever finds the project is whose.

Li Xuewu was naturally willing, even if it was free food and drink, it was equivalent to enjoying a full-process diagnosis for free.

These university professors and experts might have a generation gap with industrial production or front-line production.

However, they can think about problems from a theoretical perspective, combined with the front line, which is definitely a rare opportunity.

Li Xuewu also had Zhang Jing arrange for people to call each factory and let them pick up people personally.

Whichever field matches the corresponding production project, go to which factory, except for core industry, you can go anywhere.

The Red Steel Group has several machining centers imported from Japan, which were later imitated and developed by the Group's research institute, and there are quite a few treasures.

This thing is the heavy weapon of the enterprise, and it will not be exposed without deep cooperation.

The Red Steel Group's CNC machine tools have started to be supplied to domestic enterprises in small quantities.

The integrated processing center located in the Steel City Industrial Zone has completed the overall layout of CNC machine tools.

The scene of hundreds of CNC lathes arranged neatly and starting work together is still very spectacular, and the professors and experts were stunned.

Hu Ke, who was visiting together, was also surprised and sighed, "Even if Factory 17 and Beijing Auto join forces, they can't beat you."

What is processed in the CNC machine tool production workshop is not just auto parts, but this category is the majority.

The auto parts supply chain organized by the Red Steel Group is about to be established in Steel City.

Hu Ke knows this best, because he presided over the approval; it sounds complicated, but it is actually a car city project.

In the third year of Li Xuewu's presiding over the Group's industrial work, he finally made a big project in Liaodong.

Beijing Auto and Factory 17, which have already heard about this project, have the biggest reaction, and both sides have stepped up the construction of the parts supply chain.

Hu Ke is quite familiar with the competition between the Red Steel Group and Beijing Auto and Factory 17 in the auto parts industry.

The car city project organized by Red Steel has a considerable influence on local car manufacturers in Liaodong.

Last time, Linghe Auto Factory came to Li Xuewu to talk about cooperation; Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to them, but people's enthusiasm didn't decrease.

They couldn't open Li Xuewu's door, but they took the initiative to contact Liaodong Industry and actively leaned toward this industrial chain.

Although there is no plan to relocate the factory, a cooperation agreement has been reached one step ahead in parts procurement.

Large-scale procurement not only saves costs but also speeds up the efficiency of vehicle assembly.

Fengcheng Auto Manufacturing Factory is really considering the problem of relocation, wanting to eat the first cup of soup in Steel City.

Hu Ke gave Wang Lu confidence; Wang Lu really dared to do it, and circled a large piece of land near the Red Steel Group Industrial Zone.

Just when Li Xuewu accompanied these experts to see the site, he could feel the smell of dust in the air.

Big construction is like this; the car city project has basically been negotiated, the Beijing Chemical project has started construction, Wang Lu can't wait, and after getting a sum of money from Hu Ke, she started the four-through-one-level project preparation.

If the factory construction can be completed this year, mechanical equipment can be installed in winter, and production can start next spring.

The plan is to do it this way, it just depends on the strength of the Red Steel Group in promoting this project.

So for such an activity scene today, Wang Lu is bound to come.

Therefore, Wang Lu is bound to show up at an event site like this today.

Li Xuewu also felt it was amusing; how did he feel that he had become Hu Ke's deputy now?

He has been contributing to Liaodong's economic and industrial construction, and at the same time quickly promoting the Group's light and heavy industry to take root in Liaodong.

"Leader, people from Sanhe are here."

Li Xuewu was discussing the drone project with the old professor, making the other party stunned.

Ma Baosen came behind him and reported softly.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, gave an instruction, and continued to talk to the old professors about how to fly.

Nakamura Shuji came to Steel City personally; he had long been mentally prepared, and this butt still had to be wiped by him.

Nishida Kenichi was considered to have messed up, and the two of them sang a red face and a white face.

Ninomiya Kazunari couldn't come; Ninomiya was developing the North American market, and the household appliances produced by the Red Steel Group were going crazy over there.

Just think, the products designed by Sanhe Stock Company, produced by the Red Steel Group, beat everything in competitiveness.

The style is exquisite and novel, the material use is scientific, the production technology is qualified, the cost is very low, and the price space is adjustable.

Just the last item, originally the North American appliance market was famous all over the world, but the shark Jiamei broke in and completely overturned the local market.

Products like televisions are not very good at fighting, but if you talk about kitchen small appliances and household small appliances, they directly pierced America's exquisite coat.

Ninomiya Kazunari is not a master of negotiation, but he is an expert in market strategy.

He didn't come up to engage in a price war, but used a whole set of marketing strategies to let Jiamei appliances break into the North American market.

Li Xuewu is praised by colleagues as a psychology expert; in fact, in enterprise management, there are many psychology experts.

Just like now, Li Xuewu deliberately left him out, and even asked his secretary to invite him to the scene to see how many experts and professors were working in the Group; isn't this the rhythm of technological revitalization of industry?

Nakamura Shuji also saw this implication, knowing that Sanhe Stock Company had lost the first opportunity in this cooperation negotiation, so he performed very humbly.

It was mainly because Nishida Kenichi's guts were too big; just to test the Red Steel Group's cooperation intention, he dared to make such a thing.

And speaking of it, Nishida Kenichi's layout in the mainland and the lead left in Hong Kong definitely touched the Red Steel Group's reverse scale.

Inside the Group, everyone thought Director Li was magnanimous, or that his brain was burned, to invite Su Weide back to work.

But on Sanhe's side, this was clearly a gun pressed against the forehead.

If Su Weide was completely finished or dead, Nakamura Shuji wouldn't feel that this negotiation was very difficult.

On the contrary, Su Weide not only survived but also returned to the Red Steel Group.

Where is this Li Huai De magnanimous? It is clearly a bait laid for several parties, and under the bait is a trap.

Putting Su Weide in that position neither affects the overall situation nor urges this bait not to play dead.

Old Li revealed on the phone that if Su Weide didn't return to work, he would care about the other party.

No need for anything else, just arrange for the United Hospital to organize medical experts to consult, and take a magnifying glass to see if Su Weide is sick or not.

By then, Su Weide had better be really sick, otherwise, not sick would become sick.

"Mr. Nakamura, safe and sound."

Li Xuewu finally finished "busy," walked over from the crowd, and greeted Nakamura Shuji who had been waiting for a long time with a smile.

Nakamura Shuji bowed slightly when shaking hands, expressing great respect.

He didn't believe Li Xuewu's smile at all, just as Li Xuewu never took their bowing and apologizing seriously.

So after shaking hands and exchanging greetings, he didn't wait for Li Xuewu to attack, and took the initiative to express his apology.

Nakamura is very interesting; he wants to apologize on behalf of Nishida Kenichi and Sanhe Stock Company, but he won't say those empty words, but instead curses with a bitter face.

What is he cursing? Cursing Nishida Kenichi.

Smart, just like a child causing trouble at school, the parent comes, feels embarrassed to talk about compensation, and curses the child hard.

Cursing until the other party's parents feel embarrassed, cursing until the teacher feels embarrassed, cursing until he saves a lot of money.

Li Xuewu is not the kind of person who spoils children, so hearing Nakamura curse, he also added fuel to the fire and cursed along.

Nakamura felt a bit embarrassed when he saw this, thinking, why don't you play according to the routine?

I am here to extinguish the fire, not to light it; why does Li Xuewu curse even worse than I do?

"I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would have arranged for us to meet in Tianjin."

Li Xuewu said bluntly, "Just go to the Seaside Club, let's take a boat to the sea to talk."

"I fully understand your mood."

Nakamura knelt very decisively; he was afraid that Li Xuewu would get anxious and give him two slaps.

Also don't say that Takahashi and the others didn't accomplish anything; they found out quite a bit of intelligence from Su Weide.

Actually, what Sanhe cares about most is Li Xuewu; intelligence about him is collected separately.

Nakamura knows better than anyone how Li Xuewu walked up step by step, and his eyes have been aiming at his waist.

It's really unreasonable; how can a Group leader's daily work routine involve carrying a handgun?

"If you are here to talk about cooperation, I welcome it." Li Xuewu looked at Nakamura and said, "But before the negotiation, it's better to settle the accounts clearly." ===== CHAPTER 1669 =====

"If you are here to discuss cooperation, I welcome it," Li Xuewu said, looking at Nakamura. "But before we negotiate, it would be better to settle the accounts clearly first."
