Chapter 795: Really too stupid

(Added for Alliance Leader Black Night 0522! Old Wu will definitely not let down the Alliance Leader's addition!)

"News came from the glass factory saying they aren't doing joint enterprises anymore."

Jing Yunong was now fully responsible for joint enterprises, and the joint enterprise and the steel city industrial production base that was about to be built were the main supply bases for the trade project.

Now that a special meeting on the trade project was being held, she naturally had to raise all the problems of the joint enterprise at this time.

One was to quickly restore the vitality of the joint enterprise, and the other was to let Li Huai De rest assured that the joint enterprise was to be more closely linked to the trade project.

Once a dispute or disagreement appeared between the two, the more closely the joint enterprise was linked to the trade project, the less Li Huai De would move against this project.

No one could guarantee that they would have an ally for a lifetime; even between husband and wife, there would be two hearts, let alone colleagues.

"Including the current tool factory and cold drink factory, they are actually in a state of suspension of work and production."

Jing Yunong was also full of embarrassment, looked at Li Huai De and said: "The tool factory and cold drink factory are themselves branch factories of the factory. If they are changed back, the workers' opinions will be very big."

Li Huai De nodded and said: "But suspension of work and production is not a way either. Drinking one less bottle of soda and eating one less popsicle is fine, but how can it work without tools?"

After finishing, he frowned and said: "The tool factory must at least persist until the Steel City Hardware Tool Factory starts construction."

"According to the existing plan and construction time, I'm afraid in terms of time..."

Jing Yunong hesitated and said: "The tool factory here has to persist until November, or even until December."

"The tool factory in Beijing will eventually be replaced."

Li Huai De knocked on the table and said: "Basically, there is no possibility of cooperation. It's better to cut it off now, and then recommend the Steel City tools to the joint units."

A leader must have decision-making ability. Li Huai De still had great ability in this aspect.

Only after communicating two sentences with Jing Yunong, he instructed Feng Xingke: "The tool factory hasn't moved yet, right? Organize the existing workers to restart work first, providing the most basic guarantee is enough. Persist for two to three months."

"As for the cold drink factory~"

Li Huai De drank a sip of tea, frowned and said: "The basis for cooperation exists, but the demand for products is retreating."

That's right; with the tossing and turning in these few months, even wealthy families didn't dare to drink soda or eat popsicles. What if they made people hate the rich?

The cold drink factory itself existed as a welfare treatment status.

One could see from the fact that its competent department was the Logistics Division that other factories were willing to engage in the cold drink factory together with the Steel Mill at the beginning, also to save money.

After all, this thing couldn't generate benefits, but in order to respond to the call, they had to do it.

If a big factory didn't have a welfare branch factory, could it match the status of a big factory?

"Still have to walk the path of joint factory operation."

Li Xuewu interjected: "It's too disadvantageous for one factory to engage in this. Since other factories need it, there must be a basis for cooperation."

"How to talk?"

Li Huai De asked Li Xuewu: "The joint enterprise has appeared for the second time of trust crisis. This time, talking about cooperation is much harder than the first two times."

"Hard, but we have to talk. Only by talking will we know if it's hard or not."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "The problems in the joint enterprise are not our wish; this is an objective problem. Now everyone has needs; talking is the best plan to solve the problem."

As he spoke, he looked at Jing Yunong again. Her face didn't look good right now, not because she was angry, but because she was a bit regretful.

What she regretted was that the joint enterprise had problems in her hands, and in the end, it was Li Huai De and Li Xuewu who had to help solve the problem.

She had thought about this matter. The reason why the joint enterprise couldn't be started was mainly because she didn't have Li Huai De's foundation, nor did she have Li Xuewu's resources.

Since it's called a joint enterprise, if it can't be joined, how can it be an enterprise?

"Then talk."

Li Huai De looked at Jing Yunong and said: "This matter must be fast, but pay attention to the way and method. Don't easily abandon our interests."

These words were reminding Jing Yunong not to wear new shoes and walk the old path. Now suspension of work and production might not be an opportunity for the joint enterprise to reorganize and reopen.

Jing Yunong also had this meaning, and didn't feel ashamed because of Li Huai De's words, but nodded instead, and asked Li Xuewu: "Do you have any projects on your side that can be discussed together?"

"Don't say, there really is one."

Li Xuewu smiled, glanced at Jing Yunong, and then reported to Li Huai De: "Do you still have an impression of the canned food I mentioned just now?"

Li Huai De raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "The one sold in the service department of the reception center?"

He lived in the reception center a lot, so he knew clearly what was sold downstairs.

It wasn't that he went to see what was sold in the service department; he went to see the attendants. Of course, he was also shrewd; he wouldn't touch those little girls. With Liu Lan there, he could solve the big fire.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The Security Division, together with Red Star Village and the Garrison Third Regiment, started a small food factory, mainly producing canned food and pickled vegetables."

"What do you mean?"

Jing Yunong's eyebrows couldn't help but jump, and she asked: "Move the factory on the mountain down?"

"No, no, no!"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "The one on the mountain is too small, and it's not very suitable for us. At the very least, we can't get seasonal vegetables; where can we go to pickle vegetables?"

After finishing, he knocked on the table and said: "But we can start a canned food factory ourselves. The raw materials are ready-made, and the cooperative units are also ready-made."

"Fruit canned food, there are orchard farms around, and there is a continuous supply of fruit from the frontier."

"Aquatic canned food, there is also aquaculture around, and there are many rivers; there are still many fish."

"Seafood canned food, we are cooperating with the Tianjin Marine Products Company, and we have a shipyard in Yingcheng ourselves, so we can develop the fishing trade."

"Meat canned food, the frontier is about to enter the slaughter season for livestock, and the raw materials are abundant."

"Agricultural and sideline product canned food, green beans, vegetables, corn, etc., it just depends on how to deep-process them."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "There is another benefit to making canned food, which is that these things can be like small hardware commodities."

"Export to earn foreign exchange?"

Li Huai De's eyes lit up. He didn't care about the types of canned food Li Xuewu mentioned, but projects that earned foreign exchange and achieved results were good projects.

Regardless of who was in charge of industrial and economic work at this time, they attached the same importance to exporting to earn foreign exchange.

He now controlled the steering wheel of the Steel Mill, and the next step was to look forward and find a direction.

To get more attention and recognition from above, he had to lay the foundation starting now.

"Yes, export to earn foreign exchange."

Li Xuewu explained: "In the July newspaper, the Xiguang Green City Canned Food Factory started the canned food export project in 1964, and provided 750 tons of canned food to the foreign trade department that year."

"By this year, they improved the canning and sealing technology of canned food, and cooperated with the Institute of Biochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Xiguang Light Industry Research Institute to improve product technology. The annual export volume is nearly four thousand tons."

"Of course, we are developing from zero, but we have industrial and raw material advantages."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "I suggest sending special groups to investigate and learn from excellent and advanced canned food factories across the country."

"I think it's feasible!"

Li Huai De nodded and said: "First, we must treat this problem rigorously; second, we must consider the environment and conditions for starting a factory; third, we must have sufficient data for analysis."

"It's best to be familiar with the operation process of export trade."

Li Huai De looked at Jing Yunong and said: "This matter should still be led by you, and the Sales Division and Technical Division should send people to handle it."

"Okay."

The people whose names were called by the desk were all recording Li Huai De's words with pens, and those whose names weren't called were also recording.

Li Xuewu looked at Jing Yunong and said: "The canned food factory and cold drink factory can be discussed together, and they can also be combined with the cooperation of auto parts production to be discussed together."

"The canned food factory and cold drink factory merge to become a food factory, producing products including canned food and cold drinks; these are all welfare products."

"Also, to start a large canned food factory, it cannot be separated from supporting industries."

Li Xuewu reminded Jing Yunong: "Including glass factories, chemical factories, marine products companies, aquatic products companies, etc."

"We issue orders, set products, provide factory buildings, and let them provide machines, worker children's recruitment indicators, and profit sharing at three to seven!"

"That..."

Feng Xingke hesitated and said: "If we only have three recruitment indicators, will the workers be unwilling?"

"Cough cough~ Yes~"

Gou Zirong also coughed to remind Li Xuewu not to walk the old path of Deputy Factory Director Jing, and at the same time signaled Li Xuewu, who was looking over, to look at Director Li's face.

After all, Director Li had just finished saying that he should be cautious in the issue of employing and recruiting people. You are saying this now, isn't it going against the Director?

Li Huai De frowned, and also saw the look in Jing Yunong's eyes.

He didn't even need to think; Jing Yunong's meaning must be: You still say I didn't do well, aren't you guys just using these three tricks too!

Zi lu~~~

Li Huai De just picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and didn't refute Li Xuewu's words. He believed that Li Xuewu must have sufficient reasons.

In other matters, he might be superior to Li Xuewu, and others might have their strengths.

But!

In business and planning, in his impression, Li Xuewu had never missed a shot.

Dang~ Dang~!

Li Xuewu knocked on the conference table with a pencil, looked at everyone and said: "What are you thinking! Three to seven, we get seven!"

"Ah!???"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and cast their eyes toward Li Xuewu.

And Jing Yunong was also surprised, narrowing her eyes slightly, not knowing how Li Xuewu could be so confident.

And Li Huai De was smiling, calmly putting down the teacup gently.

Glancing at Jing Yunong: How about it? Isn't it that I... I understand him!

"Does this still need thinking?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "We have target products, accurate sales channels, and stable raw material suppliers! We only need their technology!"

"Not... Division Chief Li!"

Gou Zirong leaned forward and reminded Li Xuewu: "Didn't you say let them provide machines too~"

"Where can't you buy machines in the whole country?!"

"Does our factory lack money?!"

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, Li Huai De couldn't help but sit up straight. Since he took office, because the trade project was doing well, he had indeed been waving his arms in reform and development projects.

Especially the grand blueprint (the big pie drawn) Li Xuewu described to him, which made him full of hope for the future of the Steel Mill.

The promotion that wasn't realized in the hands of Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan would be realized in his hands. By then, he could be promoted on the spot and become...

"We have raw materials, workshops, workers, and products."

Li Xuewu looked at Gou Zirong and said: "Is technology only available from them? Letting them provide machines is giving them an opportunity to solve actual worker problems with us, and create results and profits!"

"Three to seven! This is a hard indicator!"

Li Xuewu finally looked at Jing Yunong seriously and said: "If we didn't need them to provide machines and technology, we wouldn't even give three to seven. If we can talk, we talk; if we can't, we change cooperative units."

As he spoke, he didn't turn his head to look at Li Huai De, and said to everyone: "Director Li's support for the current trade project is unreserved, and his confidence in the joint enterprise and industrial base is also very sufficient. Just for this point, three to seven is not excessive at all."

"Cough cough~"

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, Li Huai De coughed, unable to hide the smile on his face. Looking at Jing Yunong and other cadres attending the meeting, he said: "Hehe, everyone is for work. Putting forward opinions is right, and Comrade Xuewu's opinions are also very practical."

"Of course!"

Li Huai De put away his smile and said seriously: "I also want to express my stance here. For the Steel Mill, the trade project is still in the exploration and development stage."

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of taking detours. Be brave to challenge, have a sense of competition, and at the same time pay attention to cooperative relationships."

As he spoke, he signaled to Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "Just like you said, win-win cooperation."

Li Xuewu nodded, expressing his agreement.

"We are a factory, we are running an enterprise, not welfare."

Li Huai De looked at everyone and said: "We can't be as calculating as capitalist merchants, but we must also cooperate with integrity and manage with heart."

"I agree with Director Li's opinion."

Jing Yunong nodded and said: "According to the investment ratio, property use, and other objective factors, it is necessary to reasonably evaluate the account sharing."

"Well, does anyone have any opinions?"

Li Huai De smiled and nodded at Jing Yunong, then looked at the others at the table.

How could the others have opinions? Li Xuewu proposed, Li Huai De agreed, Jing Yunong echoed; they were just here to listen.

Seeing everyone nod, Li Huai De smiled and signaled to Li Xuewu to let him continue to arrange work.

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude for his support.

And Li Huai De pursed his lips reservedly, although he still couldn't help but smile, he still had to maintain his bearing and style.

"The joint enterprise is not to engage in big projects, big factories, nor is it to build factories to settle personnel. Everything is based on the actual manufacturing needs of commodities as the premise for setting the scale of the factory."

Li Xuewu also told Jing Yunong and the cadres attending the meeting: "The original big factory model will be broken, including the production base far away in the Steel City, which also applies to the existing plans and models."

As he spoke, he signaled to the comprehensive office personnel standing at the door to distribute the joint enterprise restart plan he had drafted to the people at the meeting.

When Jing Yunong received the document, she looked at the cover; it was very new, and she couldn't help but think of a rumor from before.

It was said that Li Xuewu kept many documents in the safe in his office, all of which were plans for various projects, including the joint enterprise project plan in front of her.

It was also said that when the joint enterprise was first established, Li Xuewu took Yu Decai to skip the preparatory office and prepare a relatively complete plan.

But because the project changed hands and she took over, Li Xuewu withdrew from the project team along with Li Huai De and took this plan that hadn't been revealed yet.

Opening the plan, the pages inside were also brand new, but the words inside couldn't have been achieved overnight; one could tell by the thickness of the plan.

Sure enough, he would only take it out when he truly mastered the joint project!

That rumor was true!

If this was the case, then did Li Xuewu also have sufficient plans when doing other projects, or when making other work arrangements?

Were many people in the Steel Mill within his plans?

Plans, this is saying it nicely; what about saying it not nicely?

Calculation?

Everyone who received the project plan was thinking this way. Maybe when Li Xuewu handed it to the office for printing, he just changed the original title.

They looked at each other, and all saw surprise and terrible meaning in each other's eyes.

The final reason for confirming this guess was: Li Huai De didn't flip through the project plan!

Why?

Because this project was originally started by Li Xuewu and Li Huai De when they returned from the frontier.

Even if Li Xuewu wrote it, Li Huai De must have read it, so he didn't flip through it.

Hiss~~~

This is the Tiger of the Security Division~~~~!

"So!"

After everyone received the plan, Li Xuewu continued to introduce: "The joint enterprise only has one management team, with the level set at the division level. Other factories formed by joint groups only set up workshop-level management."

"This..."

Xu Sinian's brain felt like it was going to explode with a "boom". He suddenly raised his head to look at Li Xuewu, his eyes wide open.

At the beginning... the level set for the joint enterprise seemed to be deputy factory level... but why did this plan clearly write that it was division level, and the organizational structure was so tight; one could tell it wasn't temporarily modified.

That meant that the original draft proposed by Li Xuewu and Li Huai De was a division-level unit. Did it suddenly become a deputy factory level when the project person in charge changed at the meeting?

If this was really the case, then the deputy factory level was actually... a meat bone thrown out by Li Huai De and Li Xuewu for them to grab?

Hiss~~~

This damn...

Everyone had more or less a feeling, and felt something was wrong when they heard division-level general management.

However, Xu Sinian held the position of director of the preparatory office for the joint enterprise, and he remembered every step of preparing the joint enterprise in April very clearly.

Yes!

It was when Li Huai De and Li Xuewu saw that the project couldn't be kept, and weren't willing to let it go to the factory director, so they buried a landmine directly.

What was the result?

It was Jing Yunong sitting here listening to Li Xuewu arrange work.

Every step of this was designed by Li Huai De and Li Xuewu long ago, or rather, a helpless transformation plan to push Jing Yunong to be of two hearts with Factory Director Yang.

Seeing the look Li Xuewu cast over, Xu Sinian calmed down and lowered his head to look at the document again.

Why mention past things? Jing Yunong was sitting here, and wasn't he also sitting here listening to arrangements? Success or failure, so what if he knew!

Yes, so what if he knew? Look at Deputy Factory Director Jing; she was acting as if she didn't see it right now, listening to Li Xuewu's speech seriously.

"One division-level management team, not setting up any logistics and security service departments; these all rely on the Steel Mill to provide."

Li Xuewu emphasized: "The joint enterprise is restarting; let them start lightly, don't carry burdens, carry Director Li's expectations, don't carry pressure, carry the Steel Mill's hope."

Yu Decai secretly raised his head and looked at Director Li's expression.

Hmm, reserved, yet with a little smile.

Good, noted!

(Don't carry... carry Director Li... don't carry... carry Director Li...)

He noted down Division Chief Li's golden sentences, and would study and ponder them well when he went back, feeling that this was more important than the work content he had noted down.

"The joint enterprise doesn't abandon the branch factory system; one workshop, one person in charge, uniformly responsible to the joint enterprise management division."

"What to build, what to produce, how to adjust personnel, how to allocate materials, etc., everything is allocated by the management division."

Li Xuewu looked at everyone and said: "Cooperate with the glass factory; products are mainly canned food bottles, auto glass, interior decoration glass, beverage bottles, wine bottles, and telescopes needed by the military factory that is being built."

"The food factory also needs packaging, so we can form a packaging factory with other joint units, producing metal canned food lids, metal canned food boxes, and other packaging, etc."

"And when talking about cooperation with the glass factory, we can also unite with other factories to engage in auto parts production workshops."

"Including cooperating with chemical factories to engage in sponge, car seats, interior car decoration, sound insulation and anti-static products."

"Textile factory engages in clothing production, wool materials, interior car soft cloth and other fabric commodities."

"Leather factory engages in car seats, car decoration, leather clothes, leather shoes, etc."

"Beijing TV Factory, engages in car instruments, car radios, electronic control systems."

After Li Xuewu finished talking about the operation mode of the joint enterprise using the auto parts factory to restart work, he emphasized again: "The personnel of the joint enterprise and production base are absolutely not fixed."

"If the production workshop only needs ten people, then use ten people; not one more."

"If the production workshop needs one thousand people, then use one thousand people; not one less!"

"We aren't afraid of not being able to pay wages!"

The trade work meeting lasted for an hour and a half. Besides determining the joint enterprise construction project plan, they also agreed on a series of production product plans.

For example, heating equipment urgently needed after winter. The Steel Mill's radiators were developed by themselves. Outside, only big units or important places had them; ordinary families didn't have them.

But it wasn't that they couldn't afford them, but that there were none for sale.

This was just a probe by the Steel Mill to use its industrial advantages to carry out some industrial production.

Although things were very ordinary, they were people's livelihood items, but simple things earning big names and big results were common cases.

Li Xuewu only set up an earthquake and other danger prevention drill system, and he could get a medal, making them envious to death.

Who dared to look down on Li Xuewu's ideas and opinions again?

Anyway, whatever Li Xuewu proposed, Li Huai De supported, Jing Yunong was responsible for leading everyone to execute.

After the meeting, other cadres tidied up their documents and stood up to walk out.

The comprehensive office secretary standing at the door opened the big door of the conference room, but found several people standing at the door.

And what was even more surprising was that many people in the third-floor corridor were dodging their eyes and looking over here.

Yes!

The two secretaries looked at each other and understood what was going on.

The factory office would announce and notify the organization of meetings. People in the Steel Mill organ naturally all knew what meeting Li Huai De was hosting today.

It was precisely because they all knew that today's meeting was a trade work meeting that it aroused their attention.

Talking about trade, but they all knew that what was to be discussed today also included joint enterprises, as well as the industrial production base involving auto production factories, and the shipyard.

News came out from the organ, and basically everyone in the workshop knew it too. In their spare time, they were all concerned about and discussing this matter.

The joint enterprise was the most intuitive problem. Li Huai De and Jing Yunong walking together again represented that the biggest problem behind the joint enterprise had been solved.

Then, how were the cadre use and worker selection of the joint enterprise arranged?

This was the problem the organ and workshop were most concerned about.

Meetings in the organ were to be kept secret, but it was basically the same as saying nothing. Once the conference room door opened, there were no secrets left.

Opening the conference room door, the two secretaries moved aside and invited the department leaders to walk out.

And the factory office secretaries standing at the door stood on both sides, looking at the department leaders who walked past their eyes with envious and respectful eyes while talking in low voices.

They were all fantasizing that one day they could be like these big figures in the factory, walking out of this conference room.

They were also waiting, waiting for the leaders to leave, and then using the excuse of tidying up the conference room to intercept the two comprehensive office secretaries to ask about the content of the meeting just now.

These department leaders who walked out didn't see, or rather didn't care about, the attention of these secretaries and those who stayed in the third-floor corridor.

They were already used to other people's eyes being on them, and they were also used to these services in the organ. They were now discussing and talking about the big things in the factory in low voices.

They were people who did big things; the content of the discussion was naturally important, so how could they have time to pay attention to the respectful eyes beside them?

Following the appearance of one leader after another, the secretaries' eyes were all on the inside, waiting for the last leader to appear.

Deputy Factory Director Jing came out, walking out with the Finance Division Chief. The two were talking about something in low voices.

Mainly Deputy Factory Director Jing was talking, and Division Chief Lv was nodding.

Following that was Director Li, walking beside him was Deputy Division Chief Li of the Security Division.

Different from the conversation posture of Deputy Factory Director Jing and Division Chief Lv, Deputy Division Chief Li was talking, and Director Li was nodding.

Who the hell is the leader?!

"Leader, going to Yangcheng next month, let's take time to inspect the plastic factory."

Li Xuewu reported work to Li Huai De while walking. Naturally, he wouldn't overstep his bounds and treat himself as a leader, making Li Huai De embarrassed.

"Plastic factory?"

Li Huai De raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is it also for export? There is a plastic factory in Beijing; why go to Yangcheng to see?"

"No, engaging in auto parts."

Li Xuewu explained in a low voice: "Plastic is low-cost and has a wide range of applications; it can be used as a main support point for light industry."

Then he explained: "The plastic factory in the whole country still has to look at Yangcheng. The processing technology there is more mature and standardized. We have to choose the best when looking for a teacher."

After finishing, he explained with a smile: "However, the technology is better in Hong Kong. Do you still remember the matter of the Hong Kong Wufeng Company coming to inspect that I mentioned to you last time?"

"How? Is there news?"

Li Huai De naturally remembered Wufeng Company; this was the channel Li Xuewu had told him about for the Steel Mill's hardware tools and commodities to go out.

It was also the main reason he signed the project proposal at the Steel Mill at the beginning.

It was just that he had been busy recently, and Li Xuewu hadn't been home, so he hadn't been able to take care of this work.

Now that Li Xuewu had brought it up on his own initiative, he thought of it.

Li Xuewu said softly: "They will definitely come to the Yangcheng Export Commodities Fair; we can prepare now."

"Hmm..."

Li Huai De hesitated and said: "It's time to prepare. Just the existing hardware tools, nail clippers, and canned food aren't enough; these are all too small."

"So cooperate with them to do something big."

Li Xuewu took Li Huai De downstairs and reported softly: "Wufeng Company has its own freight terminal in Hong Kong, and we have one in Yingcheng, so cooperate to engage in freight and take their transport orders."

"Also, build the shipyard and take Hong Kong's shipbuilding orders through them, fishing boats, cargo ships, passenger ferries, etc."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The trade person in charge of Wufeng Company talked to me, wanting to establish a winery in Beijing, and the selected target is Moutai."

"Really?"

Li Huai De raised his eyebrows, then asked: "Isn't it said that Moutai wine can only be brewed in Moutai Town?"

"No, it's not like that."

Li Xuewu said softly: "The Academy of Sciences analyzed the brewing taste and technology of Moutai wine and discovered twelve strains of bacteria. As long as you brew wine according to the secret recipe, it's all the same taste, so the above intended to choose it as a target for expansion and operation."

"Is that so~~"

Li Huai De rubbed his chin, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Do you mean? We go to talk to Wufeng Company about this when we go to Yangcheng?"

"You still have to take action."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "We can all do specific business, but in terms of communication with the other party, we can't suppress the situation."

"Hahaha~"

Li Huai De smiled and patted Li Xuewu on the arm, saying: "This is a good thing. You arrange it, and we will go to talk to them with sincerity."

"I thought so too."

Li Xuewu reported softly: "For Wufeng Company, which has export rights, we can carry out trade cooperation from multiple aspects and multiple angles."

"The key is the export bargaining power."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "The import and export company doesn't have our professional vision, nor do they understand the market situation. We set one yuan, they dare to ask for ten yuan from foreign businessmen; we ask for ten yuan, they might turn around and only ask for one yuan."

As he spoke, he leaned into Li Huai De's ear and said: "You should know the way inside."

Li Huai De nodded and said: "You don't need to say, I understand. They don't care whether our commodities sell well or not. I know about this matter, and I'll have a count when I'm with Wufeng Company."

After finishing, he looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "I will definitely handle the matter I promised you. I have already contacted several auto factories such as Beijing Auto Factory and 17 Factory. Things are being handled; don't be anxious."

"Thank you, Leader."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "We also have cooperation with Huaqing. I will also connect with them later to see if there is any possibility of cooperation."

"Hehe, looking at you reminds me of myself back then, just the same, only fighting for the morning and evening."

Li Huai De patted Li Xuewu on the arm and said: "Yaohui... it's not his fault; it's Guoqi who forgot. When the news was given there, it was already late."

"Sigh~"

When he said this, he sighed again and said: "He is also busy. People, it's inevitable to make mistakes. I have already criticized him."

Li Xuewu understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. It was Feng Xingke who turned over the problem at the meeting just now and named Jin Yaohui.

And when he arranged trade work, he cooled his face again. Li Huai De was afraid that he had opinions on Jin Yaohui, or Zhang Guoqi.

Of course, it might also be afraid that he had no opinions.

Who would like their subordinates to form cliques?

However, Li Xuewu wouldn't say it here even if he had opinions. He wouldn't do things that would make Li Huai De lose face and offend two people.

"So busy now, I understand."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Especially since Director Zhang just took over the office business, let's grind together more. We are all working under your leadership; unity is the most important."

"That's the best~"

Li Huai De smiled, and the satisfaction in his eyes looking at Li Xuewu was full, so much so that people upstairs and downstairs could feel it.

Li Xuewu's heart moved when he heard Li Huai De mention Zhang Guoqi.

Seeing him say this right now, he smiled slightly and said: "I suggest, it's better to ask Director Zhang to take over the factory office business as soon as possible, so that he can be prepared."

"Not very appropriate."

Li Huai De thought for a while and said: "The personnel order hasn't finished the procedure yet; it will make people talk."

"There is a matter, I haven't thought about it well, you help me ponder it."

Li Huai De scratched his face and opened his mouth: "The task assigned from above is to receive students and teachers who come to Beijing for exchanges from all over the country."

"Haven't found a suitable place yet?"

Li Xuewu was a bit surprised. This matter came down last weekend, and he even saw it mentioned in the work briefing a few days ago.

Li Huai De waved his hand and said: "Guoqi found several houses in the city, but they were all too small and not suitable."

As he spoke, he even glanced at Li Xuewu and said: "It doesn't match the image of our factory."

Li Xuewu nodded, indicating he understood.

It was very simple: the house was too small, couldn't receive so many people, couldn't show the Steel Mill's sincerity, couldn't produce any influence, and couldn't highlight Li Huai De's determination to contribute to the Great Learning activity.

He didn't have any relative relationship with those students and teachers, and they weren't people from the Steel Mill, so why should Li Huai De mobilize the masses to receive them?

The focus wasn't on these people who came for exchanges, but on how the people who received them looked at it.

Receiving forty or fifty people stingily, isn't this pulling idle eggs? By then, it would instead leave a bad impression on the above.

However, the houses in the city all had doors and households. Those confiscated ones weren't suitable, and there were no others elsewhere.

Gu Weijie wanted to integrate these places and settle them in batches and locations, but Li Huai De didn't agree; he wanted to consider it again.

Scattering and receiving is also receiving, but here there are a dozen, there there are dozens, how can it produce influence?

Li Xuewu's ghost ideas had been one after another, group after group, these few days; he even suspected that Li Xuewu had been thinking about these things during his month of training.

Li Xuewu had just dug a hole for Zhang Guoqi based on Li Huai De's explanation, but it was denied by Li Huai De.

Now Li Huai De asked about other things; wouldn't Li Xuewu continue to dig?

"Leader, is your meaning to find a place that is big, well-located, and has suitable conditions?"

Li Xuewu stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking thoughtful, and tried to ask a question.

Li Huai De nodded and said: "It must be in the city; otherwise it's not convenient."

Yes, if it's not in the city, how can people see it? He wished he could arrange it right under people's noses.

"Like this~~~"

Li Xuewu pretended to think and said: "Then we need a bigger one, it's best to buy a big building and turn it into a big reception center, where you can eat and stay, and use it yourself later..."

"That's the train of thought!"

Li Huai De smiled and blinked, pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "I'll leave this matter to you. Help me think of a way as soon as possible, the faster the better."

After finishing, he patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder and went to the small canteen behind the lobby. It was already noon and time to get off work; he was naturally going to eat.

Li Xuewu stood in the lobby and looked at Li Huai De's back, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and he thought: I will naturally think about it well.

Putting away the meaningful look that appeared for a moment, he turned around and was about to return to the Security Building.

"You damn scared me!"

Li Xuewu's hand was already touching the pistol on his waist. Seeing clearly that it was Zhang Guoqi standing behind him, he cursed with a smile.

Zhang Guoqi said with a fake smile: "Don't be cold to people; do I look that scary?"

Li Xuewu pointed at him and said: "Wait for next time; I'll stand behind you and scare you half to death!"

"Don't wait for next time~"

Zhang Guoqi grabbed Li Xuewu, who was about to leave, and asked with a smile: "Just came downstairs and saw you talking warmly with the leader. What were you talking about?"

Li Xuewu's eyelids moved, and he said with a smile: "Not telling you~"

"Fuck~"

Zhang Guoqi smiled and caught up with Li Xuewu, saying: "Still damn brothers~ you..."

His words weren't finished before he was pulled by Li Xuewu to the side of the main office building's main gate.

"You..."

"Shh~ Do you want everyone to hear!"

Li Xuewu scared him, and pretended to look mysteriously at the people coming down from upstairs to eat.

Zhang Guoqi didn't expect Li Xuewu to be so on the road; dare he say that what he said to the leader just now was really secret work!

However, he didn't expect Li Xuewu to be stupid and smoky, still treating him as a good brother.

At this time, he also pretended to be close and followed Li Xuewu to the side, as if he wanted to say something secret.

Li Xuewu was really too stupid. Everyone said he was smart, but wasn't he still in Zhang Guoqi's hands?!

However, he didn't expect that Li Xuewu was playing the fool and still considered him a good brother.

At this moment, he also feigned intimacy and walked to one side with Li Xuewu, looking as if he wanted to whisper something.

Li Xuewu is truly too stupid; everyone says he's smart, but hasn't he still fallen into my, Zhang Guoqi's, hands?!
