Chapter 1694: Don't throw the hawk until you see the rabbit

"Hey! How do you say that?"

Li Huai De was annoyed when he saw Gu Litong's bad words.

Li Xuewu pulled him, stretched him into the elevator, and explained softly, "It's not aimed at you."

He raised his chin and said, "There is a hidden story."

"Oh!" Li Huai De's eyes lit up a bit when he heard there was a story, and he said with a smile, "You know?"

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu's eyes swept over Liu Bin, who was shrinking in the corner of the elevator like a mouse, and said, "You will naturally know when you arrive at the restaurant."

"Ha—you're still selling a pass."

Old Li didn't expect at all that this story had anything to do with him; he was joking at this moment.

Li Xuewu smiled without saying a word; all the way to the restaurant, just when taking food, someone was indeed talking about this.

"Yo, two President Lis, morning."

Wang Mr. of Jin Auto saw Liu Bin following the two and walked over with a strange tone.

Before Old Li could speak, Li Xuewu pointed at him and emphasized, "Don't come at me; I didn't offend you!"

Wang Mr. was preempted by him, choked, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "That's also your person."

"Dog fart, it's just the true color of a man."

Li Xuewu didn't care about Old Li's inquiring eyes, signaled to the empty round table, and said, "Go, let's go together over there."

Wang Mr. came to find fault, not to find a companion, but couldn't stand Li Xuewu's joking, so he endured it.

Li Huai De heard that something was wrong; he looked at Wang Mr. and then at Li Xuewu, not knowing what kind of riddle these two goods were playing.

"What are you doing?" Li Huai De asked at this time, "You made me confused."

"You're confused? I'm even more confused."

Wang Mr. laughed coldly and said, "From climbing up last night until now, I haven't rested yet."

"Oh roar, then this has something to do with me?"

Old Li naturally saw his face, and there was a bit of seriousness and earnestness on his face, saying, "It doesn't matter, if I, Old Li, have done anything wrong, you can just speak up."

He also signaled to Li Xuewu and said, "Our Secretary-General also said so; naturally, I will give you an explanation."

"Then I'll say it—"

Wang Mr. raised his eyebrows, first looked at Li Xuewu, and then told Li Huai De about what happened last night.

"I'm not complaining about you, Old Wang."

He raised his hand and signaled, "To talk about this lack of discipline, I, Old Wang, have no qualification to talk about others now."

"But speaking of the matter, the things your Secretary Liu did are really lacking in virtue; does he want to mix in the circle in the future?"

I don't know when it started, but the "circle" culture that Li Xuewu let slip became popular at this time.

Of course, it's not that there was no such saying as small groups before, but that one is more vivid, called pulling mountains.

The name given by the era, after all, pulling mountains is summarized from the barbaric era of occupying mountains as kings and robbing the rich to help the poor.

It can be used now, but it has been redefined and summarized by the circle proposed by Li Xuewu.

A round table can't sit down with two types of people who don't agree with each other; those who can eat and drink tea together must be able to talk.

Surrounded in a circle, helping and supporting each other, that is the circle just mentioned by Wang Mr..

Liu Bin is considered Li Huai De's student; then no matter where he makes progress in the future, he must be labeled with Old Li's label.

Unless Liu Bin finds another way, or changes his family, otherwise people will only recognize him as being taught by Li Huai De.

Now that Liu Bin made a mistake, Wang Mr. didn't look for Liu Bin's trouble either; just look at Gu Litong's cold words and you will know.

Really wanting to be tough with Liu Bin is hitting Old Li in the face, and it's also going against himself.

Being tough with a secretary, isn't this dropping value!

So Li Xuewu wants to push Liu Bin away, let the two face each other, and some things will be fine if they are said openly.

But Wang Mr.'s last question is considered to have sentenced Liu Bin to be beheaded, and now it all depends on Old Li's thoroughness or punishment.

Old Li frowned slightly, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You knew about this before I did?"

The two don't need those twists and turns; Li Huai De has determined that Li Xuewu will fully support him, and has also set Li Xuewu as his successor in this position, to protect him and support each other.

So he asks whatever he has to say, and even his attitude shows some doubt.

Of course, there will be no dissatisfaction, because until now, he has seen that Li Xuewu is coordinating and handling this matter.

If he really wanted to watch the fun, or dig a hole for him, there wouldn't be this meal this morning.

"Last night, Liu Bin called me."

Li Xuewu laughed coldly and said, "Saying something like accidentally meeting Xiao Liu and them in trouble, asking me what to do."

Li Huai De squinted his eyes when he heard this; this appearance of having no responsibility really doesn't look like his apprentice.

Wang Mr. sat on the other side and didn't speak; he had already said what he should say, and it depends on how Red Steel Group gives an explanation.

He doesn't believe Li Huai De, nor does he believe Li Xuewu, but is afraid that this matter will become a gap between the two families.

If you don't pick it out and say it, Li Huai De will know sooner or later, and there will be a thorn in his heart.

Not to mention other times, at this time, Red Steel Group has already become a climate, and ordinary people really dare not offend.

Especially their enterprises in the automotive industry field, wanting to compete with one of the five major ones is not looking for trouble.

The times are changing, and the industry is also progressing; they, as leaders in the automotive industry, have long seen that the domestic manufacturing industry is ushering in a new round of reshuffling and resource redistribution.

An industry without scientific research assistance is like a strong man without follow-up strength; it looks strong, but it is actually a bag.

He and others have a consistent attitude towards Red Steel Group, towards Li Huai De and Li Xuewu, and that is respect.

Being able to accurately grasp the pulse of progress in the tide of the times, and every step is on the point, doesn't this deserve their respect?

So speak directly if you have something to say, and be polite if you have gifts.

"I asked him two sentences and he was confused."

Li Xuewu raised his chin and signaled to Liu Bin, who was walking over with a fruit plate and tea, and said, "He confessed everything."

Li Huai De didn't speak, just looked at Liu Bin, who was trembling with his hands, with a serious and gloomy face, holding the fruit plate and tea tray.

"Sit down and talk."

His people are naturally managed by him; from this point, you can see how well Li Xuewu's sense of proportion is.

But the more Li Xuewu is there, the more dissatisfied he is with his secretary.

Even if he learned one-tenth of Li Xuewu, it would be enough for him to work by his side.

The previous secretary, Li Haiyang, was a good one; he almost directly told him that he wanted to be Li Xuewu's secretary.

It's not hard to find out after a long time that Li Haiyang has Li Xuewu's shadow on him; this is the trace left by long-term learning and imitation, and it cannot be changed in a short time.

Can't compare with Li Xuewu, can't compare with Li Haiyang?

Can't compare, Liu Bin is not even one-third of Li Haiyang.

But educating people under your hand also requires a sense of proportion; in front of the creditor, he cannot be too serious.

In Liu Bin's eyes, he is already very serious, and even after sitting down, he didn't dare to look up at him.

"I'm sorry, leader, I was wrong."

"Well, it's good to know you're wrong," Li Huai De said lightly, "I'm just afraid you'll quibble and don't know where you're wrong."

"I know, I shouldn't have had crooked thoughts."

Liu Bin's face turned red and white, white and red, sitting there like a quail.

Li Huai De then looked at Wang Mr. and asked, "How is this matter handled? Do you need our help?"

"It's almost done; at worst, I'll go back and write a self-criticism." Wang Mr. said helplessly, "It's just that Director Han's scolding is not worth it; these days are wasted."

"Then I will also go to Director Han to receive this scolding in a while," he nodded and said in Wang Mr.'s surprised eyes, "I can't talk about sharing joys and sorrows, but we still have this responsibility."

"Director Li..."

Liu Bin only knew how much trouble he had caused at this time. Sometimes making a mistake, escaping by luck is not necessarily more appropriate than receiving punishment; only experienced people like Old Li will understand this truth.

"I know your heart has grown grass."

Li Huai De glanced at his secretary and said lightly, "Is it affected by the incident in Osaka?"

Seeing Liu Bin nod, he sighed and asked, "What did the Secretary-General say to you at that time?"

"I... should strengthen learning."

Liu Bin responded, and looked up at Li Xuewu and said sorry, "I let you down."

"I am quite disappointed." Li Xuewu also said self-reproachfully, "But this matter also has something to do with me."

He looked at Wang Mr. and Old Li and explained, "At that time, I knew the people from Panasonic were not well-intentioned, but I chatted with Liu Bin for a while and thought it was fine, who would have thought—"

"Oh—" Wang Mr. suddenly realized, "So the things they whispered together were what you encountered in Osaka!"

He glared at Liu Bin again, angrily, "You little Liu, you can't listen to good words, you have to cause this trouble; now it's good, your leaders are also embarrassed with you."

"I'm sorry, Factory Manager Wang, I really know I was wrong." Liu Bin explained with a crying face, "We played well together, and I really couldn't help it, so I showed off a few words as fun."

"I think you guys are just idle and farting."

Wang Mr. saw that Old Li had scolded him, so he shouted a few words, just to let Old Li know that he had vented his anger.

But looking at his tone, you know, he hated iron for not becoming steel, without a trace of direct resentment.

"They are all young people; how many can resist temptation." Li Xuewu nodded and said, "After we go back, let's organize a training class together; our Red Steel is responsible for organization work, inviting everyone to participate, just to learn theoretical knowledge."

"Well, I think it's feasible," Li Huai De pointed at Liu Bin and said, "You are the first student."

This is the attitude given by Red Steel Group, getting beaten together, and organizing a training class to remedy the situation.

It not only gives these brother units decency and convenience, but also gives the leaders above an attitude that they admit and correct their mistakes.

Otherwise, why say that everyone's view of Li Xuewu, this young man, has never been a rising star.

If this is a rising star, then the young talents in their units really have nowhere to put them.

To say that Li Xuewu is an old slicker, an old fox, they all believe it, and they envy Red Steel Group for having such a ruthless person.

Eliminating the impact of this matter in a few words, and appropriately giving a solution and idea.

No wonder he could still sleep after receiving the news last night; this confidence is really not something ordinary people can have.

"Then our Jin Auto will not be polite."

Wang Mr. finally smiled, arched his hands and thanked, "Not many, not many, we only have a dozen people."

"Easy to say, easy to say, arrange as many as come."

Just a training class, Old Li still has this confidence; he has decided to throw Liu Bin on the mountain to study for a few months.

Young people, always don't accept why the leader always says to grind their temper; now they should know.

"You two came just for this matter?" Han Song's eyes swept back and forth on the opposite Li Huai De and Li Xuewu, and put down the documents in his hand, saying, "My fast knife here doesn't kill innocent people."

"That secretary of yours, didn't he run away?"

He glanced at Old Li and hummed, "Go back, I won't deal with him here."

"The monk can run, but the temple can't."

Li Huai De said lightly, "Even if he is the Monkey King, he can't run out of your palm."

"Don't give me a high hat," Han Song looked at him and asked, "Tell me, what are you going to do now?"

"This attitude of taking thirty boards yourself doesn't look like your Li Huai De's style of doing things."

"You are still our old leader," Li Huai De complained with dissatisfaction, "You don't understand me at all."

"Am I the kind of person who picks up cheap and sells well?"

He tilted his chin and said, "Don't worry, my secretary made a mistake, that must be my responsibility."

"You are not wrong to slap these thirty boards on me; you should review, you should punish."

"Yo roar—" Han Song had some interest, looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to say such a thing."

He looked at Li Xuewu with clear eyes, saw through but didn't say through, and his eyes were full of understanding.

"Okay, then I will treat everyone equally."

"No problem, I'll take it."

Old Li responded decisively, but before Han Song could speak, he said, "Not only do you want to punish, but we also want to punish ourselves."

"Are you sick?" Han Song saw that he was singing high, threw the pencil in his hand and scolded, "Acting with me?"

"It's not acting, it's sincere."

Li Huai De seriously explained Li Xuewu's opinion, emphasizing the significance of organizing theoretical training classes.

This made Han Song look at it squarely, and even more admired Old Li's attitude.

"It seems you are still serious?"

"If it's our fault, we admit it."

Li Xuewu smiled and explained, "Even without this incident, we would have organized a training class after we went back."

He raised his chin and signaled, "You also know that after coming out this time, many people's mentality will change."

"Oh—" Han Song nodded slowly and said, "It seems that Red Steel Group's organization work has ideas and attitudes."

"It's not that we are bragging, my opinion and our Director Li's opinion are consistent, that is to tighten this string."

Li Xuewu became serious and said, "Always take organizational discipline as the bottom line of daily work."

"Bottom line consciousness is an important foundation for implementing and promoting new directions and new changes in industrial development in the new era."

He frowned slightly and said, "Last year we went to East Germany, that was a camp country; now we come to Japan, it's another new situation."

"There will be more and more such situations in the future; we will eventually have a set of effective management ideas for our cadres that have both protection and educational significance."

"Your suggestion is correct," Han Song leaned on the back of the chair and pointed at him, saying, "Organization work, you can't relax at any time."

"So this training class is feasible?"

Li Huai De inquired at this time, "Can you invite you to give a lecture then?"

"If Director Han comes to give a lecture, it will be a benefit for the students of this training class; I can't help but want to listen."

"Hahaha—" Han Song pointed at Li Huai De and Li Xuewu who had just joked, "You two!"

"It's not that I want to trouble you."

Li Huai De said with a smile, "When we came, our Secretary-General said that we must invite you to give a lesson."

"We also discussed that this time is not all bad things; if we really pave the way for the training class, then we can be considered to have traces to follow in the future."

He nodded and said, "And this time coming to Japan, I believe the comrades of brother units also have their own gains; everyone can communicate with each other while learning together."

"Bad things turn into good things, killing many birds with one stone, what do you think?"

"I have no opinion if you are willing to set up a stage to sing." Han Song nodded after hearing his words, "The impact of this matter is very bad, and the leader is also very angry after hearing it."

"He wants to complain about me, saying that I, the leader of the team, didn't do a good job."

He looked at the two and said, "I was also thinking about how to handle this matter properly when you came."

"Now it's good, your ideas are correct, and it saved me some trouble; I will report this matter to the leader, and I believe he will also support your opinion."

"Since the leader agrees, then let the Ministry host it, and we will assist."

Li Xuewu first looked at Old Li, then said to Han Song, "We will do the organization work; your face is big, your vision is high, just be responsible for finding teachers."

He smiled and said to Old Li, "With Director Han to be this housekeeper for us, we have saved a lot of trouble."

"Oh, is your Li Zong willing?"

Han Song naturally heard the meaning behind Li Xuewu's words, looked at Li Huai De with a smile and emphasized, "Hundreds of people, it will cost money."

"It should be spent; who told us to be your soldiers, Red Steel Group will always follow the organization's decision."

Li Huai De also heard Li Xuewu's signal and said very seriously, "I will contact the country to prepare for the work when I go down; once we land, our training class will start."

"Okay, you are a person with a heart."

Han Song thought for a while and said, "I won't record your secretary's incident; you handle it yourself."

"Also, if you want to save this game, then do it better, and let me have face, okay?"

"Don't worry, face is greatly available."

Li Huai De saw him say this, and also joked, "Red Steel Group will never let the organization down."

"I think you have premeditated!"

Han Song saw them stand up, also stood up with a smile, pointed at the two and said, "One who can speak, one who can think, okay? Your group's old, middle-aged and young unity work is done well!"

"That is also your guidance and credit." Li Xuewu heard his ridicule, but returned it.

"Your time is precious, don't waste time on these things."

When sending them out, Han Song patted Li Xuewu's arm seriously and emphasized, "Take a few more projects, this is a rare opportunity for you!"

"I understand, I will go to Toyota after leaving you."

Li Xuewu explained softly, "If I can take Toyota, I will take it; if I can't take Toyota, I will pull Honda off the horse."

"Good, doing things is to have this momentum of 'who else but me'!" Han Song looked at him and said, "Go do things, I will give you a celebration wine after returning to the country."

"How can that be, this wine must be invited by us."

Li Xuewu smiled and signaled to Old Li, "Just don't dislike our wine being thin then."

"Five-star Moutai, still thin?"

Han Song raised his chin with a smile, signaling that they could go, and looked at the two with appreciation and relief.

This old and young, cooperating tacitly, really can make Red Steel Group as stable as a rock; he naturally wants to appreciate and be relieved.

At the beginning, he disagreed with the higher-ups wanting to delegate Red Steel Group to the city, and specifically talked to Director Du once.

It was also because of his opinion that Red Steel Group had two mothers-in-law now.

These two mothers-in-law each have their own hearts; naturally, they don't want the other party to manage too broadly, nor do they want the other party to manage too much.

It is a group enterprise after all, an object of key concern above; if it weren't for this, it would have been squeezed to death.

Li Huai De has to face Zhou Wanquan's pursuit and interception; Han Song is also a bit dissatisfied, but he didn't express it.

Who should Red Steel Group belong to? This matter has long been concluded; it is not something that one or two people can influence.

But falling into specific practice, he believes that with Li Xuewu there, Li Huai De, this pile of stinky dog shit, is enough for Zhou Wanquan to choke.

Competition is everywhere, but it cannot be seen, but it can be said. Isn't there an old saying, people fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense.

You just think about it, even the Buddha has a competitive heart, how could the Ministry not have it.

"Toyota's chairman is going to retire?"

Wang Mr. sat in the car smoking, looked at the information in his hand and asked, "Is the current number one person Toyota Eiji?"

"Toyota's organizational structure and business model are very complex." Li Xuewu opened the window of the minibus, letting the wind extract the smoke in the carriage.

The wind takes one more bite, and these people take one less bite; he is all for everyone's health.

Old Dong of Ha Auto is about to be bald, but he insisted on leaving half a circle of hair around, trying to cover up the fact of baldness.

Now it's good, the wind is coming, his half-side hair is dancing with the wind, wanton and reckless, just like seaweed.

"Can we see Toyota Eiji today?"

Gu Litong had long been out of anger, and Li Xuewu didn't eat alone, actually pulling them all into the car.

At this moment, there were him and Jin Auto's Deputy Factory Manager Wang Mr., Long March Auto's Yang Aidong, Ha Auto's Old Dong, and Nan Auto's Liu Yang on the minibus.

Look at these people and you will know, this is another small circle, belonging to the Steel City Auto City circle.

"Not necessarily; even if we can see, it doesn't make much sense." Li Xuewu held the investigation data given by the team, which was very detailed, including Toyota's detailed situation.

"Seeing Toyota Eiji is useless, then who are we going to see?"

Liu Yang frowned and asked, "If the words have no strength, is it useless to see?"

"You may not know," Li Xuewu shook the data in his hand and explained, "In April, Japan introduced a policy of capital liberalization in the automotive industry."

"Normally speaking, Japan's economy has entered a period of rapid development, and the explosion of the automotive industry is as it should be."

He tilted his head and said, "Now Japan has introduced such a policy to stimulate the automotive industry; what kind of existence do you think Toyota will become?"

"Two million annual production capacity, good guy."

Old Dong called out good guy directly, looking at the data on the data and sighing, "It's more than all our domestic automotive manufacturing industries combined."

"This is certain," Gu Litong raised his head and emphasized, "World's third, the name is big enough."

"We are going to see Toyota Shoichiro."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "This is Toyota's Managing Director, responsible for overseas and sales work."

"Toyota's manufacturing and sales are operated separately, which is different from Honda, and actually easier to talk about."

He looked at several people and emphasized, "The key is to think about what you want; Steel Auto is preparing to introduce an engine production line, so they want Toyota's own equipment and technology."

"Engines are still better from Japan."

Gu Litong said with some envy, "We went to talk, but we didn't talk it down."

"Actually, Red Star Generation 3 technology is also fine."

Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "You can really try Red Star's engine, it's completely feasible to bring your 130."

"Then our engine factory will be shut down?"

Gu Litong looked at him, still hesitating, "We have already invested a lot of manpower and material resources to attack the key."

"It's not that I'm hitting you," Li Xuewu touched him with the back of his hand and reminded, "No matter how much you invest in scientific research, you are chasing from behind; it's better to take a shortcut to save time and effort."

"Hey! This idea is correct."

Liu Yang pointed at Gu Litong and said, "Red Steel Group's scientific research is done well, it's not without reason."

"What is introduction? Isn't it introducing good technology to learn thoroughly and use it in your own enterprise?"

He spread his hands and said, "We don't have this opportunity anyway, we can only copy homework from Steel Auto."

"It would be fine if it was copied well," Yang Aidong laughed and said, "It wasn't copied well, and the face was lost."

The minibus turned into the gate of Toyota headquarters; because there was coordination and communication in advance, it was quite smooth all the way.

The leader in charge of sales must be elegant and open; Toyota Shoichiro has a kind of Confucian spirit on him.

Li Xuewu and others got out of the car and saw him standing there waiting for them, performing very humbly.

Under the introduction of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry specialist, Li Xuewu shook hands and greeted him first, followed by Gu Litong and others.

In fact, so many automotive industrial enterprises came together today; even if you want to see their chairman, it is not difficult.

But Li Xuewu decided, so it was all easy to arrange.

Toyota Shoichiro's figure is not high; standing next to Li Xuewu for a photo is very disadvantageous, but he still smiled very politely.

The greeting ended, both sides went upstairs; what Toyota arranged was not a conference room, but a very large reception room.

Li Xuewu seemed to see the deep meaning of the other party's arrangement, smiled and didn't care.

Still that sentence, Toyota can take it if it can, if it can't take it, use Toyota to take Honda.

Toyota occupies 40% of the Japanese auto market, Nissan occupies 22%, and Honda only occupies 8%; you say how big the gap is.

If you summarize the three major auto enterprises in Japan in one sentence, that is:

Toyota is an all-around hegemon, Nissan is a hard-core second, and Honda is still a small car player mainly for motorcycles.

In fact, small players also have small benefits; at least the motorcycle engine and manufacturing technology that Li Xuewu is aiming at have hope.

"This is a new model launched this year." Toyota Shoichiro showed Li Xuewu a car model very enthusiastically; it is Toyota's current flagship official luxury car, Crown S60/S70.

This is Toyota's current flagship official luxury car; the one Nishida Kenichi gave to Suwide was this model.

However, the style of that car was the previous generation, which looked more rugged than the model.

Toyota not only has flagship models like Crown, but also global volume god car Corolla E20, as well as civilian rear-drive sports car Celica, mid-size car Carina, Hilux pickup, Toyoace light truck.

Toyota's car style is, durable, fuel-efficient, moderate and conservative, reliability full.

This is similar to Steel Auto's car-making philosophy, big and complete, small and refined.

"Very beautiful," Li Xuewu smiled and praised, "The standard for laymen to evaluate a car first is beauty."

"You are right, after all, a car is a commodity," Toyota Shoichiro affirmed, "Appearance must be a standard for customers to consider whether to buy."

"Well, we have also thought about this."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and introduced, "Red Steel Group's Vehicle Engineering Institute has specifically established a design office."

Gu Litong and others looked at Li Xuewu sitting in the first seat of the reception room and talking eloquently; it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

If their factory also established a research institute, then they would have a way when talking about technical research and design ideas.

Currently speaking, automotive design and engineering really belong to Red Steel's research institute, even stronger than FAW and Beijing Auto.

During that period, Red Steel Group dug a lot of people from FAW and Beijing Auto; at that time, they said they were enemies, but later proved they were all wrong.

Red Steel Group can be considered to have picked it up; the scientific research and educational foundation are very thick, and the explosion of industrial manufacturing potential is inevitable.

Only a comprehensive enterprise like Red Steel Group has the qualification and confidence to sit in front of Toyota Shoichiro and blow the bull.

"We have an Auto City project in Steel City." Li Xuewu finally talked about this project; he introduced the identities and industrial situation of Gu Litong and others one by one.

Those introduced also made some additions, taking the opportunity to chat with Toyota Shoichiro for two sentences.

Li Xuewu was very patient at this time; he was also a group, and Toyota Shoichiro's pressure was there.

The reception room sofa was full, and behind them stood some Toyota staff, as well as Li Xuewu and others' accompanying personnel.

If you want to say that both sides are communicating and exchanging under friendly conditions, then this wording is just accurate.

Toyota Shoichiro listened very seriously, and even took simple notes from his secretary's notebook.

After several people finished introducing, he asked about the Steel City Auto City project seriously.

Hearing Li Xuewu introduce the combined development of the Steel City Auto City project with the mechanical processing project, chemical industrial park, metallurgy, and Yingcheng Port, there was even an envious look on his face.

"The power of unity is really great."

Toyota Shoichiro nodded and said, "It is a smart decision for you to combine parts production and assembly together."

"We are preparing to outsource parts production." Li Xuewu explained, "Formulate production standards through the supply chain, and unify procurement and application."

"This will save a lot of costs."

Toyota Shoichiro thought thoughtfully and said, "If Toyota's production scale in the country was not so large, it should have used this idea."

Toyota in Japan is like Beijing Auto; the body is too big and can't turn around.

Li Xuewu and these automotive industrial enterprises are very flexible; they have the opportunity to make adjustments in time to deal with market and era changes.

Just like the Auto City project, he asked Beijing Auto and the 17th Factory to move over; would they be willing?

Even if they were willing, the local area wouldn't be willing; isn't this giving a big gift to Liaodong for nothing.

"It's not just a matter of saving costs, but also convenience in research and development and transportation." Li Xuewu emphasized, "This is also easier to get industrial preferential policies."

"I understand what you mean."

Toyota Shoichiro looked at him with a smile and asked, "Currently you have policies, right?"

"Of course," Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "If there were no good policies, we wouldn't have met, would we?"

Wang Mr. twitched the corners of his mouth, sighing in his heart, Li Xuewu can really talk, both fooling the other party and flattering the leader.

The reception room chatted for more than half an hour, and everyone came to the conference room under the invitation of Toyota Shoichiro.

Toyota's preparation was quite rich; there were public relations ladies introducing Toyota's development history and main products.

Later, engineers came up to introduce Toyota's manufacturing technology and research and development results to everyone.

It should be said that the name of the first in the country and the third in the world is not taken for nothing, and even the staff are very professional.

Of course, Li Xuewu didn't say that Honda was not professional enough, just not good enough.

The introduction mentioned the scientific research and technological development of engines; Li Xuewu listened very seriously and talked with Toyota Shoichiro in the subsequent conversation.

"Actually, engine manufacturing technology is not difficult; the difficulty is the process." Toyota Shoichiro paused, looked at several people and said, "You are all automotive manufacturing enterprises, so you should be able to understand what quality control is most afraid of."

"Skilled technical workers at each station are precious wealth for Toyota."

"Pay more attention to workers' technical training?"

Li Xuewu thought for a while, first introduced Red Steel Group's vocational technical college system, and then talked about the current management model, which made Toyota Shoichiro listen very carefully.

"You mean to say that you built an education system from kindergarten to vocational technical college?"

Toyota Shoichiro looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Just to cultivate professional workers for your enterprise?"

"This is an additional purpose," Li Xuewu emphasized, "Mainly to better settle the children of employees."

"Our system is different from yours; our enterprise must have responsibility and sense of responsibility."

This sentence of his has a bit of scolding, but it passed.

"Everything about employees is our problem."

"Too strange." Toyota Shoichiro thought for a while and asked, "Then your education system has results?"

"Of course, this year is the second batch of graduates entering Red Steel Group to work."

Li Xuewu smiled and introduced, "The comprehensive performance of the first batch of students is very excellent, more resilient and focused than old workers."

"Really—" Toyota Shoichiro looked at Gu Litong and others and asked, "Are you the same?"

"No, we are not," Gu Litong smiled awkwardly and explained, "Our factory is only responsible for education before junior high school."

"I understand," Toyota Shoichiro looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Your enterprise is bigger and more comprehensive."

He nodded with a smile and said, "Only with sufficient capital can we expand the scope of business faster."

"Coming to Toyota today is for this matter."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "If there is an opportunity to cooperate with Toyota, I believe this future big gift package will be very generous."

"I am also looking forward to it—"

Toyota Shoichiro is the person in charge of overseas business; he naturally knows the demand of the domestic automotive industry very well.

Another point, he also knows Red Star Auto's export volume very well; these are key data for evaluating competitors.

The initial negotiation of the project is a difficult and cumbersome process; the conference room cannot hold so many demands at all.

So in the conference room next to this conference room, there is another conference room holding a business discussion meeting.

Li Xuewu talked about a direction here, and the conference room next door would follow up, quickly transitioning to the negotiation stage.

Toyota has engine production technology; under the current background, they are not stingy about selling this technology.

But still that sentence, cooperation is the ultimate goal.

As long as there is a foundation for cooperation, Toyota can be smoother when entering the domestic market.

He has already thought about the Auto City project in Steel City; if technology and equipment are exported, it will definitely affect the development of this project in the next ten years.

So both sides talked tacitly, and there was no too fierce dispute; the price is not in a hurry, the key is the degree.

Li Xuewu is not sure if there will be results here, so he hasn't sent a message to Oshima Yoshiko.

But Toyota Shoichiro's secretary came to report that many reporters had arrived and applied for interviews.

Li Xuewu turned his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we can talk about it and then interview together."

Toyota Shoichiro looked at him, and it was considered that he had grasped the character of this person: don't throw the hawk until you see the rabbit? ===== CHAPTER 1695 =====

But as I said before, cooperation is the ultimate goal.

As long as there is a foundation for cooperation, Toyota will be able to enter the domestic market more smoothly.

He has already thought about the Honggang Group's automotive city project in Steel City; if they export technology and equipment, it will absolutely affect the development of this project for the next ten-plus years.

Therefore, both sides are talking with a tacit understanding; there are no overly intense disputes, and neither side is in a rush regarding price—the key is the degree.

Li Xuewu is not sure if a result can be negotiated here, so he hasn't sent word to Yoshiko Oshima yet.

However, Shoichiro Toyoda's secretary came to report that many reporters have already arrived and have applied for interviews.

Li Xuewu's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "No rush, we can talk things through and then do the interviews together."

Shoichiro Toyoda glanced at him, having essentially grasped this man's character: he won't release the hawk until he sees the rabbit, right?
