Chapter 1693: Life is not destined to end

"Are you really cooperating, or are you preparing to use that set of capitalist theories to experiment on us?"

Bai Changmin had been tricked too many times and had grown a brain; he glanced at him and emphasized, "I dragged you here today just to spend money and put in effort; you don't need to use your brain."

"Then you should have just asked General Manager Gao to come." Li Xuewu saw that he wasn't taking the bait and said impatiently, "She is in charge of United Savings now."

"I don't believe a word of it—" Bai Changmin was determined not to be fooled. "Do you think I don't know that United Savings has always operated independently?"

"Her words aren't even as effective as yours."

"If General Manager Gao heard you say that, how heartbroken she would be," Li Xuewu teased. "Are you two still going to be friends?"

"Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, she will never know." Bai Changmin said candidly, "If she finds out, it just means you aren't a friend."

"Isn't it said that the one who borrows money is the boss?" Li Xuewu couldn't stand his arrogance and questioned, "How come I see you, the one who owes money, acting more like the boss?"

"Aha!" Bai Changmin raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Don't you know the times have changed? The one who owes money is the boss!"

"When the hell did that change?"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and said, "When I owed others money, how come no one notified me?"

"Why notify you? So you can act like a boss?" Bai Changmin laughed wickedly. "Don't worry, you have plenty of debts outside; there will be plenty of times for you to act like a boss."

Li Xuewu knew what he was talking about; he glanced at him sideways and said, "I don't think you look like a boss; you look more like a damn young master."

"Hey! You're taking advantage of me!"

Bai Changmin wasn't paying attention and was ambushed by Li Xuewu again.

In their circle, when it came to having a sharp tongue, it had to be Li Xuewu; you couldn't even dream of where he would pull a fart-like remark from to shut you down.

The car stopped at a French restaurant. Don't ask Li Xuewu how he knew, because this restaurant was actually called 【French Restaurant】.

And don't say, if you think about it carefully, this boss is definitely a god-like person; he really has a lot of crazy ideas.

If you want to talk about crazy ideas, it has to be the Japanese devils.

"Did you see that? Looking all blonde and blue-eyed, you never know where those refugees came from."

Li Xuewu pointed at the two yellow-haired lucky cats standing at the door and said, "If you tease them, at most they can only say two or three sentences in French."

"Really or fake?" Bai Changmin didn't quite believe it; he looked at the doormen a few more times and suspected, "Hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat?"

"Otherwise?" Li Xuewu laughed. "Is there any serious French restaurant that would use this ghost name? It's purely to fool the Japanese devils."

"What song is this for again?"

Bai Changmin followed Li Xuewu into the revolving door and asked curiously, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"To attract wealth, this door has good Feng Shui." Li Xuewu was purely talking nonsense. "When we go back, we'll get one too."

"Ha—" Bai Changmin laughed. "Where would we put such a foreign gadget?"

"Put it in the toilet," Li Xuewu laughed loudly. "Put a generator on top; in one day, it's guaranteed to save a few electric characters."

"You really can talk nonsense—"

Bai Changmin finally reacted; the guy was teasing him, purely looking for fun at his expense.

"Then those two doormen you just mentioned—" He was still thinking about this matter and asked, "Was it a joke or real?"

"The real can't be fake, the fake can't be real."

Li Xuewu pointed to the flower wall in the corner and asked, "You haven't been to France, but you should know that chrysanthemums only appear at funerals in Europe, right?"

"Think again, which country is willing to put chrysanthemums in their home."

"Damn!" Bai Changmin reacted instantly and cursed in a low voice, "This is really hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat!"

"Believe it or not, this restaurant is definitely opened by Japanese people, specifically to fool their own people." Li Xuewu said with a smile, "This is the result of economic development far lagging behind cultural progress."

"Why?" Bai Changmin was a bit puzzled; he walked to the third floor and asked, "Does having money mean having no culture?"

"No, it's that the eyes can only see money and cannot see beauty." Li Xuewu said lightly, "What is the final result of lacking aesthetics?"

Without waiting for Bai Changmin to react, he gave the answer, "What is missing now will sooner or later have to be made up for, and it will cost a high price."

This principle also applies to the people of later generations; after so many years of frugality and suffering, the tourism economy has become more popular year by year.

The capitalist poison and culture that were once hated now require purchasing expensive plane tickets and enduring unequal treatment just to go out and see.

See what?

Not necessarily everything can be seen, nor can everything be understood, but once they see it, they have the foundation for aesthetics.

Aesthetics is not just about the things expressed; besides art, there are also culture, humanities, values, and so on.

Some people say that bilateral relations in later generations are so tense, yet there are still people who go to Japan for tourism; what is it for?

In fact, this phenomenon also occurred in Japan during this era; due to the explosion of the industrial economy, the Japanese public generally enjoyed the benefits of the exchange rate.

They became street wanderers all over the world until the Plaza Accord was signed, and they went from being big landlords in the United States to god-sons, and ordinary people lost this benefit.

Bai Changmin thought for a long time, until he saw the object of tonight's entertainment, and still didn't understand the meaning of his words.

But this had nothing to do with him; didn't he understand aesthetics? The foreign girl bowing at the entrance of the high-end restaurant on the third floor was actually quite beautiful.

"Haha—Bai-san—"

They were still far away when a bald man with a fat head and big ears and a slight limp opened his arms and walked over with a smile.

Li Xuewu looked at the other party's image and then heard his address to Bai Changmin; the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He almost looked around to see if Captain Jia was there.

"Otake-san, you are too polite."

Bai Changmin had already figured out the secret of this restaurant, and there was no longer any inferiority in his eyes when looking at the other party.

What's there to be proud of? Eating fake Western food; this person must be a damn fool.

Fortunately, Li Xuewu was following, otherwise wouldn't it be two fools together?

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li Xuewu, Deputy General Manager of Red Steel Group," Bai Changmin turned to look at Li Xuewu and introduced, "This is Mr. Otake Koji, the capable assistant to Mr. Igawa Masao, Vice President of Toray Industries."

This damn title is long enough; it's almost the same as his second uncle's mother's third grandmother's fourth aunt's nephew.

The more titles, the more empty; the longer, the more fake. Could this Bai-san have encountered a liar?

"Hello, Mr. Otake, nice to meet you, please take care of me."

As soon as Li Xuewu finished speaking, Bai Changmin almost couldn't help laughing out loud; the guy didn't know what bad intentions he was holding back again; he stopped teasing him and started teasing the Japanese devils.

Otake Koji was also stunned by Li Xuewu's polite words full of Japanese flavor, and then he laughed loudly.

Damn, how many years has it been since the defeat, and he can still meet a second-rate Japanese devil.

If it weren't for the height difference, not being able to reach Li Xuewu's shoulders, he would have wanted to take care of Li Xuewu.

"Please! Tonight we eat snails."

Otake Koji raised his hand generously and signaled, "I have already booked the seats; ordinary people can't get a seat on short notice."

"That's—" Li Xuewu laughed and flattered him, "I have long heard of Mr. Otake's name like thunder; it's a pity we haven't met!"

"Hahaha—" Otake Koji found Li Xuewu more and more pleasing to the eye, nodded and said, "Li-san, we are very destined; we hit it off at first sight!"

Hit it off with your boss, you're running around!

Bai Changmin gave Li Xuewu a look, reminding him that he was the protagonist tonight, don't play too far.

Of course, he knew that Li Xuewu's stomach was full of bad water; he would definitely not worship foreign things, let alone flatter the Japanese devils.

Being so abnormal tonight, if there wasn't some fun, he wouldn't believe it even if he died.

Is snail the only thing to eat in French food?

Not really, but only French people eat snails; let alone eating them, Li Xuewu felt sick just looking at them.

It's not like there are no cows in France; they don't eat steak, but prefer snails. Isn't this afraid of microbial poisoning?

"I am allergic to snails, sorry."

When ordering, he deliberately slowed down by half a beat; after they finished ordering, he asked for a well-done steak and explained.

Bai Changmin's eyes widened, and the look he gave him was enough to eat him.

He was shaken by this grandson at the reception dinner that day, and today again; could these snails be poisonous? Or just disgusting?

"It doesn't matter, loving food also requires courage and luck."

Otake Koji didn't seem to care about Li Xuewu's timidity and laughed and mocked him.

Li Xuewu's mouth twitched; thinking of the restaurant's name made him distrust the conscience of the kitchen.

How many damn snails can France produce in a year? They don't have enough for themselves; most restaurants need to import snails.

Japan, far away in East Asia, is doing this dish; even if they got the real ingredients, is the processing technology up to standard?

Whoever loves to eat can eat; anyway, he won't.

"You are right, I don't have this blessing." Li Xuewu said with a light smile, "It's really a pity."

Bai Changmin had already decided that he would rather go hungry for a while than touch that garlic butter baked snail.

Li Xuewu wouldn't eat it, so he didn't dare to eat it either.

"What business is Mr. Li responsible for at Red Steel Group?"

Otake Koji had already raised his glass and proposed the first toast of the night.

However, unlike the domestic drinking culture, Japanese people drink entirely on their own; they don't drink like cattle, nor do they compete in drinking capacity.

"Actually, Mr. Bai didn't introduce it clearly to you; I am the same as you, also an assistant to the Deputy General Manager." Li Xuewu introduced with a smile, "Mainly responsible for external cooperation and technology introduction related work."

He started talking nonsense again!

Bai Changmin's hand holding the wine glass paused; he couldn't help but glance at Li Xuewu; the guy was shameless, actually demoting himself.

His introduction of Li Xuewu as Deputy General Manager was purely flattering; who demotes themselves, especially when cooperating externally?

Li Xuewu ignored his eye prompts and chatted with Otake Koji very humbly, especially about his experience as an assistant.

The two hit it off, actually leaving Bai Changmin aside, chatting from Toray Industries all the way to carbon fiber.

"We started early; we started working on carbon fiber in '59."

Otake Koji was persuaded by Li Xuewu to drink a few glasses, his cheeks flushed as he introduced, "It was only in January last year that we changed our name from Toyo Rayon Co., Ltd. to the current Toray Industries."

"I know, Mr. Bai has already introduced it."

Li Xuewu was very good at fooling people, flattering the other party and saying, "He said your company mainly operates chemical products like nylon and resin."

"Hey—far more than that!"

Otake Koji waved his hand and introduced with a smile, "We also do engineering plastics; the carbon fiber you just mentioned is another core product."

"So that's how it is; we are also doing this thing." Li Xuewu said as if it were a casual remark, nodding and saying, "But we are later than your Toray; that was 9 years ago."

"Really!" Otake Koji looked at him with some disbelief and asked, "Your carbon fiber production has also started?"

"Hey! I don't know about this."

Li Xuewu was so shrewd; he said the beginning and stopped, stretching back to introduce, "The specific situation is confidential."

"I've heard relevant news, saying it evolved from the nylon industry."

"Then it must not be as advanced as ours."

Otake Koji said as a matter of course, "Our technology even surpasses the United States; even synthetic fibers are on par with DuPont and ICI."

"I know DuPont, an international chemical giant." Li Xuewu nodded and said, "It's just that I don't know how Toray's carbon fiber is doing."

"That goes without saying!" Otake Koji was obviously a straw bag; he tilted his chin and emphasized, "The new products launched last month, like golf clubs, fishing rods, tennis rackets, etc., are all using our Toray carbon fiber."

"Then is the production process of this thing very complicated?" Li Xuewu looked at Otake Koji with confusion, as if he didn't know anything.

Otake Koji smiled and said, "Of course it's very complicated, but for us, it's very simple."

Bai Changmin seemed to understand something when he heard this; he instantly transformed into a wingman, putting on a fool's expression just like Li Xuewu.

"Haha! Polymers, you should all know."

Otake Koji was very satisfied with this proud state and introduced arrogantly, "It's the process of high-temperature carbonization of polymer spinning, followed by surface treatment."

"If we were to say it, it's very complicated, production is very difficult, many steps, extremely strict parameters, extremely low fault tolerance; a little bit off and it's scrap."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "But we say this internally, hehe, actually it's just like that; there are indicators."

"Then this thing is good!"

Li Xuewu poked Bai Changmin with his elbow and reminded him, "Doesn't your Factory Director Zhang like fishing? Why didn't you think about applying to Mr. Otake to introduce carbon fiber production technology?"

"How can that be!" Before Otake Koji could speak, Bai Changmin cooperated and said in surprise, "How could Mr. Otake make the decision on such a big matter!"

He looked at Otake Koji, who was a bit stunned, and asked, "Mr. Otake, can this kind of technology for making fishing rod materials also be purchased?"

"If it weren't for Mr. Li's reminder, I would have forgotten; if I could bring it back to our leader..."

"Haha, I can understand your mood." Otake Koji laughed awkwardly and said, "But there's no need to buy carbon fiber technology for fishing rods; I can give you a few good ones, which will definitely satisfy your president."

"That's not about the fishing rods," Bai Changmin hesitated and explained softly, "Our leader likes fishing, but he also likes making fishing rods."

"Don't look at us as a chemical enterprise; we actually have a fishing gear factory, just because our leader likes it, so we do it this way."

"So it can be like this?"

Otake Koji was stunned, frowned slightly, and said with some difficulty, "But Vice President Igawa didn't say that carbon fiber technology could be sold."

"Isn't that just a matter of your word?"

Li Xuewu flattered him with a smile, "You must have a say in Toray Industries."

He pointed to Bai Changmin beside him and said, "Besides, their Beijing Chemical has bought a lot of technology from you; one more carbon fiber is not much, one less is not much."

"Then this matter... I have to consider it." Otake Koji thought for a while and said, "I can only promise to help you operate it; specifically..."

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Just as Otake was speaking, Li Xuewu reached out and patted Bai Changmin's hand, and a gold bar rolled onto the ground.

Bai Changmin was also stunned; he got hit and a gold bar exploded?

Li Xuewu was naturally too lazy to bother with the shameless Bai Changmin; he picked up the gold bar and wanted to stuff it to him, pretending to be dissatisfied and reminding him, "They don't pay attention to this here; if you want to express yourself to Mr. Otake, you can't send such vulgar things!"

"I—what's wrong with sending it?" Bai Changmin just wanted to say when did he want to send a gold bar, but seeing Li Xuewu's eye signal, he hurriedly circled around.

"Mr. Otake promised me such an important matter; can I not have a little expression? This is not my character!"

He reached out and took the gold bar and placed it in front of Otake Koji, waving his hand and saying, "Please don't be polite; this is a little bit of my heart."

"Hey! You're confused!"

Just as Otake Koji couldn't help but go to take the gold bar on the table, Li Xuewu grabbed it, stuffed it back to Bai Changmin, and reminded him, "Here, bribing corporate executives is not allowed! Do you know or not!"

Otake Koji's eyes had long been fixed on that palm-wide gold bar; where could he move his eyes away?

When Bai Changmin placed the gold bar in front of him, he stared at it; when Li Xuewu took it away, his eyes followed.

"What's not allowed, we are friends!" Bai Changmin was about to enter the play; he took the gold bar and placed it in front of Otake Koji again, emphasizing seriously, "Mr. Otake is doing things for me; I cannot treat a friend badly!"

"Then you can't—"

"Hey! Don't argue!"

Otake Koji pressed down on the gold bar that Li Xuewu was about to take away again, stiffened his neck and said, "We are all friends; it's not worth it for such a small matter."

"But!" Li Xuewu frowned and said, "I don't want him to insult your professional ethics; if you can't do it, wouldn't you be ashamed of him?"

"How can this be an insult to me!"

Otake Koji defended Bai Changmin with a serious attitude, "Compared to this kind of thing, I value friendship more!"

"How can I watch you hurt your harmony and feelings because of me, because of this thing!"

He put the gold bar into his handbag, nodded and said, "Then sacrifice me alone to fulfill everyone."

"This—" Li Xuewu frowned and said, "I still can't figure it out."

"It doesn't matter, you are still young."

Otake Koji smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Besides, I just said it was difficult, I didn't say I wouldn't help?"

"He is just too young!" Bai Changmin followed his meaning and taught Li Xuewu a lesson, "This junior of mine, achieved success at a young age, doesn't know the depth."

"Hey—don't say that; everyone came from this age." Otake Koji waved his hand with a smile and said, "I can understand."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to me."

Otake Koji pointed at Bai Changmin's arm with his finger and said softly, "What technology and equipment to sell, isn't it up to Vice President Igawa?"

"That's for sure!" Bai Changmin laughed and glanced at Li Xuewu, saying, "With your support and help, I can still achieve my wish."

"Hahaha—" Having taught a young kid like Li Xuewu a lesson, tasted delicious French food, and received a gold bar, Otake Koji was naturally very happy and couldn't help laughing loudly.

Japan, which is in the barbaric era of the economy, is also crazy enough; as long as the heart is there, what things do they dare not sell?

Think about it, Toshiba dared to sell five-axis linkage machine tools; it's not without background and environmental influence.

This year, the semiconductor competition between Japan and the United States has begun, and the trade war is in full swing; Japan's export control is extremely loose.

Just like Li Xuewu reminded Bai Changmin, some things should not be put on the table; it is more appropriate to settle them privately.

Of course, carbon fiber and such things have not been truly unearthed for their potential yet; thinking about using it as a fishing rod makes people feel ridiculous.

Li Xuewu used money to "buy" carbon fiber technology and equipment to be used in high-profit products such as weapons, ships, cars, and airplanes.

Fishing rods, although also very profitable, currently do not have a group of empty soldiers in the country who can afford such things.

Carbon fiber and such things have just begun to exert force; if he doesn't pick up a bargain, Li Xuewu wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

The banquet lasted until late at night; with Li Xuewu there, Otake Koji was bound to be drunk.

"Are you really willing?"

Bai Changmin was also a bit drunk, but much more sober than Otake Koji; at least he could still think.

Li Xuewu looked at the street scene around him, and seeing no one, he turned and unzipped his pants to start releasing water.

"What's there to be unwilling about? I was prepared when I came."

He explained the act of suddenly taking out the gold bar and emphasized, "If there is no expression in a private meeting, didn't we come for nothing?"

"Then he did it on purpose?" Bai Changmin frowned and asked, "Calling me here is just for money?"

"Otherwise?" Li Xuewu shook his baton and looked back at him and asked, "You don't really think he treats you as a friend, do you?"

"It's really hell—"

Bai Changmin cursed secretly, "If I had known earlier, I should have brought a camera."

"Uh-huh, it's not too late to know now."

Li Xuewu raised his chin and signaled to Qi Yan, who was circling from behind the restaurant, and said with a smile, "Do you want to try Sony's technology?"

Qi Yan heard his words, raised the camera in his hand and signaled, expressionless.

He really couldn't understand why the leader wanted to do this.

Sending gold bars openly, and asking him to take pictures, and only allowing Bai Changmin and the other party to be photographed, not him.

Bai Changmin didn't know; if he knew, wouldn't he be pissed off?

Qi Yan was about to show him the camera, but at this time there were no digital cameras, so how could he see what was taken?

Unless you go to the darkroom to take out the film, Li Xuewu says whatever he wants; anyway, Bai Changmin already believes it.

He not only believed it, but was also amazed.

"You damn calculated it early?"

Bai Changmin couldn't believe it; how could Li Xuewu know the other party's intention in advance.

Li Xuewu looked at him like a fool; some things are not complicated, but once explained, it's like a devil's seed.

He couldn't teach Bai Changmin how to accept gold bars, right?

"That gold bar is half a jin; find a way to report it."

"Report it?" Bai Changmin was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "This damn thing has been sent out; how can I report it?"

"It's not three or five pieces!"

"Then I'm sorry—"

Li Xuewu twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I can report it; let's count this money as Red Steel Group's."

He opened the car door and got into the car; before closing the door, he emphasized to Bai Changmin, "Remember, the carbon fiber project belongs to Red Steel Group."

"Damn—" Bai Changmin knew this kid was not a good bird; he brought the other party to get money, never thinking about being taken advantage of.

"What is carbon fiber?"

When he came back, Li Huai De hadn't rested yet, and Gao Yaqin hadn't returned from Osaka, so only the two of them held a small meeting.

Li Xuewu first explained what carbon fiber is, and then emphasized, "This is the password to open future industrial technology, which is crucial."

"Then we picked up a bargain?"

Li Huai De was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "How much did you buy it for?"

"I don't know yet." Li Xuewu sighed and said, "I estimate that Bai Changmin is also calculating whether he wants this technology."

"He is such a shrewd person." Li Huai De shook his head and said, "You are so serious, and he can still let go."

"Forget it, then let's cooperate."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "I estimate that this money will not be small, and it needs to be transported back through special channels."

What is a special channel?

The sea carriage driver, it can't be sold publicly, but smuggling should be fine.

That's why Li Xuewu said this money would not be small; the gold bar just sent out was for Otake Koji, not for Toray.

Now to get the technology and equipment, you have to pay extra money.

"It's a bit of a pity." Li Huai De thought for a while and said, "But we don't have a chemical industry foundation, so we can't do this."

"Well, and their technology can currently only produce T300; although it is already a world-class product, it will gradually be eliminated."

Li Xuewu frowned and said, "During this period, if the domestic carbon fiber technology cannot keep up, we will still be in a backward state."

"Are you still planning to eat one fish in multiple ways?"

Li Huai De seemed to have thought of something; Red Steel Group has spent very little money introducing technology from abroad over the years, even if it spent, it wouldn't be much.

Because Li Xuewu knows how to operate, the technology bought for any amount of money can be sold domestically in a targeted manner, picking up the technology for nothing.

This process may be a bit long, and it requires the Red Steel Group's research institute to fully understand the technology.

Generally speaking, imported equipment and technology components will be sold, so that it can appear more moral.

Of course, it just appears more moral; whether there is morality, taste it yourself.

Anyway, these technologies were sold in the front, and Red Steel Group used them in the back; sometimes it was even sold in four directions: east, west, north, and south.

Losing money is impossible; the difference is how much you can earn.

"Beijing Auto is almost there."

Li Huai De drank a cup of warm tea and explained, "We talked for an afternoon today, mainly about this problem."

"I didn't say much; even if Director Han asked me, I didn't say anything else." Old Li laughed and said, "Old Luo has fallen this time."

"Does it still have anything to do with him?" Li Xuewu asked unexpectedly, "Is the higher-up going to hold him accountable?"

"At least it's joint liability." Li Huai De nodded and said, "It was his support that let Wang Youhan lead the team to Japan."

"Now that there is a problem, naturally he has to bear it."

"That's true—" Li Xuewu thought for a while and asked, "Is Beijing Auto planning to use our arrangement for the bridge?"

"Old Luo said not for the time being; who knows." Li Huai De said indifferently, "Anyway, I have already said what I had to say; whether he appreciates it or not, he owes me this favor."

"Beijing Auto's problem still needs to be handled slowly."

He thought for a while, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Is there any hope for Honda? If not, then give up decisively."

"Director Han has already said that Beijing Auto can't pull it up, so only we can go up; we must take Toyota."

"Why? Will the Ministry of International Trade and Industry help?"

Li Xuewu seemed to have heard the doorway, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Or is there some plan early on?"

Such visits and exchanges must be prepared in advance; good things are naturally left for the biological son, and Beijing Auto is the biological son of the automobile industry.

Like Steel Auto, a small piece of garbage from a poor family, being able to survive is already a grace.

It's just that the biological son is no longer useful now, whether it's a god-son or a small piece of garbage, anyway, the plan cannot be allowed to fail.

Giving it to Red Steel Group is better than giving it to other small pieces of garbage; at least Red Steel Group has a certain reputation in the international automobile industry market.

"Then it depends on our plan."

Old Li thought for a while and explained, "You have to think clearly; choosing Toyota is naturally the focus of attention, and we will eat a big one in one breath."

"But this big one is not so easy to digest; even if Beijing Auto doesn't say anything, Toyota may not look down on us."

He paused here and said, "Unlike Honda, you already have a foundation for communication, and the subsequent cooperation will be more sincere."

"Honda hasn't replied yet."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "Then I will go to Toyota tomorrow morning, and also expose this matter, to see Honda's reaction."

The method of borrowing power to hit power should not be too natural; he already had a general idea when discussing with Li Huai De.

"You have to be cautious, be careful and be careful." Li Huai De reminded him seriously, "Cooperating with Honda, we are not considered a target."

"But you went to Toyota; who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at you; by then, you will end up like Wang Youhan..."

"Well, this matter still needs to be carefully considered."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "If Toyota is easy to talk to tomorrow, then talk to Toyota; who told Honda not to be active."

"But if Toyota is vague, then scare Honda and force them to submit."

"Well, you master this scale."

Li Huai De patted the sofa armrest, stood up and said, "I don't know if I'm tired or what these days, I lack energy."

He raised his wrist to check the time and said, "I have to go back to rest; if it's too late and the sleepy energy passes, I will have insomnia."

"You must not make mistakes."

Li Xuewu sent him out and joked, "I heard that Director Han is catching this matter; don't hit the muzzle of the gun."

"Hi—" Old Li raised his chin with a smile and said, "When you reach my age, you will know what is called powerlessness."

"Men also have a flower age; if you are young, you have to let go, so that the bird won't be able to fly when you are old."

Damn, can this be said so philosophically? One set after another.

He watched Old Li return to the room, and when he turned around, he thought something was wrong; he came back with Liu Bin, and he went out to eat with Bai Changmin at night, so where did Liu Bin go?

Old Li came to talk to him, the leader hadn't rested yet, and Liu Bin, the secretary, dared to rest?

In the middle of the night, Li Xuewu was sleeping soundly, when suddenly the phone at the head of the bed rang; isn't this funny?

Is there anyone calling him in Japan?

"Hello?"

He answered in a daze, not expecting Liu Bin's panicked voice to come from the receiver, "Secretary-General, they are in trouble."

"Who is in trouble?" Li Xuewu was stunned by what he said, frowned and asked, "In the middle of the night, what do you want to say?"

"Beijing Second Auto, and Jin Auto."

Liu Bin explained nervously, "It's the secretary of Deputy Factory Director Gu and the others; they said they went out to play, fought with others, and made a big scene."

"Hmm?" Li Xuewu's brain was recovering, paused, and then asked, "No, how do you know?"

He hadn't asked if such a shitty thing was worth disturbing his rest in the middle of the night?

One guess and there's a problem; it's Liu Bin.

Liu Bin is really capable of making trouble, stammering and explaining, "I just passed by there and saw it..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me!" Li Xuewu asked seriously, "Tell the truth, have you been caught?"

"No!" Asked by the Secretary-General, Liu Bin, who was nervous, could no longer hide it and confessed.

"That... I ran fast, they didn't catch up with me."

"Fart, no matter how fast you run, won't they see your face?" Li Xuewu scolded, "The monk can run, but the temple can't! Do you understand?"

"No, Secretary-General, I ran with my clothes covering my face!" Liu Bin explained, "I was in the toilet when they were caught, and I slipped out from the back door."

"You are really a—freak!" Li Xuewu was speechless and asked, "Won't they sell you out?"

"How is that possible." Liu Bin answered without confidence, emphasizing, "Going out to play, whoever is unlucky is unlucky."

"You just hope there are no dogs among those people." Li Xuewu was too lazy to bother with him, and before hanging up the phone, he told him to go back to the room and not go anywhere.

Liu Bin had long been scared out of his wits; if it weren't for the girl who made him unable to hold his urine, and he rushed to the toilet, he would have been wiped out by others long ago.

Now running back to the hotel is also lucky; a little later or a little earlier, he would be dead.

In fact, he called Li Xuewu because he was afraid that Old Li would know; the Secretary-General wouldn't clean him up immediately if he knew, but if President Li knew, his future would be finished.

Li Xuewu naturally didn't have the idea of killing Liu Bin; he lay down for a while and called Gu Litong's room, but no one answered.

He called other people's rooms, and it was still like this.

He finally understood that Gu Litong and others must have been called up by Director Han to pick up their secretaries at this time.

This matter is interesting; the leaders are busy, but the secretaries are here for team building.

Early the next morning, before Li Xuewu could finish packing and go out, Gao Yaqin called again.

"Bundled sales?" He asked with a frown, "What does it mean? What does Panasonic want to bundle?"

"Electronic components, and they are inventory items." Gao Yaqin reminded with a frown, "I asked them, and they said they weren't sure if there was a problem."

"They said they couldn't guarantee it, but most of them are good."

"Talking nonsense," Li Xuewu said helplessly, "Must have heard some news and raised the price temporarily again."

"Is it because of your itinerary tomorrow?"

Gao Yaqin asked, "When are you planning to meet with people from Kyocera and Rohm?"

"If you really want to talk, then you have to be as soon as possible."

"Of course, tomorrow is the fifth day."

Li Xuewu sighed and said, "Currently, we are the only ones who haven't completed the formal contract signing, so it might be a bit late."

He thought for a while and said, "Well, let Huang Zongfang stay there, you come back first, and test their determination."

"I estimate that Panasonic didn't take the initiative to mention this opinion; it is very likely that they received some reminders."

"Then what should we do?" Gao Yaqin asked with a frown, "Just take it like this? It's troublesome for me to come back and forth."

"It's troublesome, but you have to come back." Li Xuewu said lightly, "If they don't cooperate, then we can only go back empty-handed."

"Who would have thought that things would reach this point and still have twists and turns." Gao Yaqin was silent for a while, then asked, "Did something happen on your side again?"

Look, she used the word "again," which shows how surprised she is about this matter.

"I was just saying," Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Must have not looked at the almanac when going out."

"You really can talk nonsense." Gao Yaqin scolded him, said two more words, and hung up the phone.

Li Xuewu packed up and went out, just in time to see Liu Bin accompanying Old Li walking out.

Looking at Old Li's expression, he seemed not to know what happened last night.

Li Xuewu saw Liu Bin looking at him nervously, turned his head lightly, and chatted with Old Li.

He had taught Liu Bin in vain these past few days; even to verify his inner demons, he shouldn't have made such a thing happen.

Liu Bin walked behind Old Li, not daring to breathe, fearing that he would attract Li Xuewu's attention and say something to Old Li.

Others wouldn't even care about Li Huai De's Secretary-General's bad words, but if Li Xuewu said it, he would be in trouble.

"Hey! Deputy Factory Director Gu, what are you doing?"

They bumped into Gu Litong, who walked out with a full face of official business at the elevator entrance, and Li Xuewu greeted him with a smile.

Gu Litong glanced at Liu Bin, but couldn't help sighing.

"Consider yourself lucky, life is not destined to end."

Liu Bin understood; Deputy Factory Director Gu said this to him; feeling ashamed, his head was about to hang down to his crotch. ===== CHAPTER 1694 =====
