Chapter 815: Confrontation

"Greetings, leaders. Welcome to the chemical plant."

A thin, tall, middle-aged man wearing glasses stood at the bottom of the entrance steps and took the initiative to greet them: "I am Liu Liu Yongtao from the factory office."

"Hello, Director Liu."

Ao Ao Yuhua, Deputy Director of the Steel Rolling Plant's office, smiled and stepped forward to greet Liu Liu Yongtao first. After shaking hands, she began introducing the leaders beside her.

"This is our plant's Deputy Secretary Li."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with the other party, then followed the reception staff's gesture and ascended the steps.

"This is Director Feng from our plant's Logistics Management Division."

"This is Director Gou from our plant's Sales Management Division."

Liu Liu Yongtao memorized the surnames of the three leaders and identified them based on the negotiation personnel information that had long been sent over from the Steel Rolling Plant.

This was a skill that an office director must possess.

After shaking hands and greeting the head of the Steel Rolling Plant's Service Division, Liu Liu Yongtao raised his hand to gesture toward the main entrance on the steps. He smiled and said "please" to Feng Feng Xingke and Gou Gou Zirong, who had already started walking, then quickened his pace slightly to walk beside Li Li Xuewu to lead the way.

Ao Ao Yuhua, who was responsible for the introductions, only introduced these three, which meant these three were the main negotiation leaders.

Those following behind were ordinary office staff or general cadres.

Liu Liu Yongtao was also a department-level cadre. As the host, receiving Li Li Xuewu and Feng Feng Xingke was naturally sufficient.

He still had office staff behind him responsible for coordinating these people to enter the building together.

Although they said they weren't prepared, the chemical plant's office building lobby had long been ready.

At the very least, the floor was very tidy. Upon entering the lobby, one could see a paper banner hanging on the wall, which read: "Welcome to the visiting leaders and comrades of the Steel Rolling Plant."

After going upstairs, Liu Liu Yongtao only took one more step than Li Li Xuewu, his body always turned slightly toward Li Li Xuewu. Clearly, he was an office cadre with mature reception experience.

Li Li Xuewu's expression was also very amiable. He didn't mind Liu Liu Yongtao's surprise and observation, walking up the stairs with composure.

Not only that, he could maintain a warm smile amidst the observing gazes cast by many people in the corridor.

Atmospheric, steady, and dignified without anger—he was a mature cadre.

Liu Liu Yongtao defined this Deputy Secretary from the Steel Rolling Plant in his heart, while also referencing and judging based on the information provided by the Director of the Second Plant's Security Division.

Li Li Xuewu had dealt with the chemical plant before, but not the Beijing Chemical General Plant; it was the Chemical Second Plant.

It must be specially mentioned here that at this time, some large factories were independently managed and responsible after being divided into first, second, and third branch plants.

However, some were not; after being divided, they were still managed by the general plant or the first plant.

The Beijing Chemical Plant was like this. They had four branch plants, many research institutes and small factories, and even a university.

All branch plants and that university were managed by the general plant. The one Li Li Xuewu went to was the Chemical Second Plant, located in the East City, which used to be within his security management jurisdiction.

He had never been to the general plant side and was not familiar with the people here.

On the third floor, in the large conference room, several secretary-like people stood at the entrance. Seeing Liu Liu Yongtao bringing a team over, they scattered to one side and stood there.

Li Li Xuewu did not look at them, but led by Liu Liu Yongtao, arrived at the reception room next to the conference room to sit down.

Only four people entered the reception room: Li Li Xuewu, Feng Feng Xingke, Gou Gou Zirong, and Ao Ao Yuhua.

The reason was simple: only those above the deputy division level were considered leaders. The rest were guided to the large conference room to do preparatory work.

The secretaries who were standing at the door just now came in to pour tea for everyone. Liu Liu Yongtao smiled and exchanged a few polite words before saying he was going to ask the leaders for instructions.

Li Li Xuewu hadn't said much the whole time, leaving Ao Ao Yuhua to organize and coordinate.

Leading a team required the demeanor of a leading leader; falling short would be self-destruction.

He wasn't deliberately being reserved or putting on airs; it was just the rules.

Feng Feng Xingke and Gou Gou Zirong were also in this state. Although they didn't look arrogant or haughty, they all displayed the necessary demeanor and aura.

After Liu Liu Yongtao left, Feng Feng Xingke, sitting beside Li Li Xuewu, checked the time on his wrist and said softly to Li Li Xuewu: "Your arrangement really opened my eyes."

Gou Gou Zirong also heard Feng Feng Xingke's flattery; he smiled, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.

Flattering Li Li Xuewu is not considered very rare; everyone is within Li Li Xuewu's jurisdiction, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied about.

Not to mention that some of their work had long since begun to be "guided" by Li Li Xuewu, even in handling relationships with leaders like Li Huai De, Li Li Xuewu is also superior to them.

It is not just a matter of the leaders' attitudes and attention, but more importantly, the methods and leadership talents Li Li Xuewu has demonstrated make them willing to play a supporting role.

If you have the ability, you come and do what he does; if you can really show something impressive, everyone will be convinced.

Li Li Xuewu's attitude toward them is very good, and they are all at the same level; he would never use a chicken feather as a token of authority.

Today, he is here to work at the chemical plant as the lead negotiator, so he accepted this title of Deputy Secretary.

But if he were at the steel mill, he would absolutely never use this Deputy Secretary title to suppress the heads of other departments; that would only make others laugh at him.

The less Li Li Xuewu uses this to suppress them, the more these department heads respect him as a Deputy Secretary.

Coupled with his status in the Garrison District, he has even vaguely become the flag-bearer for these people.

Turning slightly, Li Li Xuewu said softly to Feng Feng Xingke: "This is called seizing the initiative; we are in the wrong, but we cannot lose our nerve."

"Brilliant!"

Feng Feng Xingke also leaned sideways and said to Li Li Xuewu: "When we were leaving, I was still saying, why did you prepare such a show?"

"Just for show."

Li Li Xuewu held his teacup, smiled, blew away the floating tea leaves, and said: "The car was borrowed from a brother unit, and the people were transferred from the Garrison Third Regiment's motor pool."

"Hehe, anyway, your display today is really impressive."

Feng Feng Xingke whispered: "I don't know how many people at the factory are talking about it, just look at this side, their eyeballs are about to fall to the ground."

Ao Ao Yuhua is a female comrade; she is here today mainly to provide service work and will not formally participate in the negotiation work.

The preliminary communication and coordination were all done by the factory office, so she came along today.

Xu Si of the factory office has been transferred to the Yingcheng Shipyard, and Zhang Zhang Guoqi is in the public notice period, so she is temporarily carrying the burden.

Otherwise, she should have been the one accompanying him on an occasion like today; after all, Li Li Xuewu's arrival represents the steel mill, and he is speaking for the steel mill's leadership.

Watching Li Li Xuewu joking with Feng Feng Xingke, Gou Gou Zirong drank his tea alone, while Ao Ao Yuhua sat silently on the side.

Her task for coming here today is more than half completed, and the rest will have to be left to Li Li Xuewu and the others.

As for Li Li Xuewu, she also pays him a lot of attention but has little contact with him.

She used to be the Deputy Director of the Personnel Department, and when Li Li Xuewu joined the company, it was she who signed and confirmed it.

But looking at it now, Li Li Xuewu is not only a Deputy Director as well, but Xie Xie Lan Zhi, who was in contact with Li Li Xuewu at the time, has become her successor.

In government units, the most common thing is ups and downs; some people are fast, some are slow, and one must have a peaceful mindset.

Ao Ao Yuhua's mindset is very peaceful, but the mindset of the leaders at the chemical plant cannot be peaceful.

Liu Liu Yongtao naturally found out about Li Li Xuewu's status: Deputy Secretary of the Steel Mill's Discipline Inspection Commission, Secretary and Deputy Director of the Security Department, and Deputy Regiment Commander of the Garrison Third Regiment—what a strange status.

But no matter how complex the status is, Li Li Xuewu, as the team leader, is still a deputy-division-level cadre; how should the chemical plant arrange the corresponding negotiation leaders!

If you say you want to arrange a Deputy Director to go over, the deputies they brought are all division-level cadres.

If you arrange a division-level cadre to go over, when it comes to discussing this matter, which division-level cadre at the chemical plant can make the final decision on this project?

If someone who cannot make the decision goes, wouldn't that make others laugh?

The most appropriate thing is to arrange for the Deputy Factory Director in charge of logistics to go, but where the hell are they going to find a deputy-division-level Deputy Factory Director!

The head of the chemical plant is about to wrinkle his brow into a furrow; he suspects that the steel mill is deliberately playing this game.

Later, Liu Liu Yongtao gave a suggestion, which was still to invite Deputy Factory Director Bai, who is in charge of logistics, to preside over the negotiation work.

The reason is also very simple; after all, they are the hosts, and those who come are guests; courtesy costs nothing.

What's more, the person who came from the steel mill is indeed a Deputy Secretary; no matter what level it is, you have to acknowledge it once it's said.

With the Deputy Factory Director coming forward on the chemical plant's side, they can still occupy the initiative in the negotiations and obtain more benefits at the negotiating table.

Especially in terms of cooperation, if Deputy Factory Director Bai doesn't go, no one below can make the decision.

This is indeed a realistic point; the head of the factory thought about it and agreed to invite Deputy Factory Director Bai to be responsible for this negotiation meeting.

Matters of face don't really matter much; what's important is to obtain the due benefits in this negotiation.

They attach great importance to this project, otherwise they would not have agreed to this meeting.

However, for the steel mill's repeated delays, they must also show due regret and concern.

Just as Liu Liu Yongtao said, we are in the right!

When the door of the reception room opened again, Liu Liu Yongtao turned sideways to invite Deputy Factory Director Bai to go first, and then quickly followed into the reception room.

"Deputy Secretary Li."

Liu Liu Yongtao first smiled and greeted Li Li Xuewu, helping Deputy Factory Director Bai identify who Li Li Xuewu was.

Bai Bai Changmin heard Liu Liu Yongtao's greeting and set his eyes on Li Li Xuewu.

So young!

So tall!

Looks so fierce!

"Hello, Deputy Secretary Li."

While sizing up Li Li Xuewu, Bai Bai Changmin had already smiled and reached out his hand, and greeted him.

When Li Li Xuewu also smiled and reached out his hand, Liu Liu Yongtao introduced at the right time: "This is our Deputy Factory Director Bai."

"Hello, Deputy Factory Director Bai."

Li Li Xuewu is taller than the other party, and the natural deterrence and sense of oppression made Bai Bai Changmin's smile lose some color.

"Thank you for your warm hospitality~"

"You are too polite~"

Bai Bai Changmin smiled and let go of the hand holding Li Li Xuewu's.

After Liu Liu Yongtao introduced Feng Feng Xingke, Gou Gou Zirong, and Ao Ao Yuhua to him, he also shook hands with them one by one, fully displaying the demeanor of a host.

Before coming, he had heard Liu Liu Yongtao introduce the identities and simple work reports of the four people.

From the difference in his attitude toward these four people after entering the door, one could see that he had done his homework.

The person he mainly faces after coming over is still Li Li Xuewu; the two of them are now considered to have equal status.

Raising his hand to invite everyone to sit down, Bai Bai Changmin sat on the sofa separated from Li Li Xuewu by only a tea table, and the two smiled and exchanged pleasantries.

What makes Bai Bai Changmin curious about Li Li Xuewu is not only Li Li Xuewu's youth and steadiness, but also the situation downstairs that Liu Liu Yongtao just mentioned.

What exactly is the situation that makes this group from the steel mill so high-profile?

As the persons in charge of their respective sides, the two who met for the first time must expound on the brotherly friendship between the two units from historical and current perspectives.

Both are old hands; such words come easily, and what they are competing on is whose rhetoric is better, and who can make polite words sound fresh and refined.

After simple pleasantries, both sides had a preliminary understanding of each other, and then it was time to get down to business.

"I heard Comrade Liu Yongtao introduce that you are the Deputy Secretary of the Steel Mill's Discipline Inspection Commission."

Bai Bai Changmin looked at Li Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "He also said you are responsible for security business, and also hold a position in the Garrison District, right?"

After asking this, seeing that Li Li Xuewu was not panicked at all and was even looking at him with a smile.

Bai Bai Changmin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "I really didn't understand, why are you..."

"Hehe, don't say you didn't understand, even I am still confused myself."

Li Li Xuewu smiled, straightened his body, looked at Bai Bai Changmin, and explained: "However, the factory is indeed busy right now."

While speaking, he also looked at Feng Feng Xingke and Gou Gou Zirong and others on his side and said: "Our Director Li has to go to the higher-ups for a meeting, and Deputy Factory Director Jing, who is responsible for this work, has gone to Yingcheng."

"It's really helpless."

Li Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "Deputy Factory Director Nie is watching several construction projects in our factory, and Deputy Factory Director Cheng still has to preside over the production work in the factory."

"When I came, Director Li specifically told me to express his regrets for him, and please forgive me."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it's all the same, all the same."

Bai Bai Changmin smiled and looked at Li Li Xuewu; in his heart, he dared not underestimate this Deputy Secretary Li anymore.

A set of combination punches was both solid and fierce, all hitting the point.

Liu Liu Yongtao saw that the talk was almost done, and after receiving a look from Deputy Factory Director Bai, he smiled and said: "Deputy Secretary Li, leaders, time is almost up, let's move to the conference room."

Bai Bai Changmin smiled, stood up, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and said: "That's good, business is important."

Li Li Xuewu also stood up, faced Bai Bai Changmin's gaze, and said confidently: "Let's talk about money without hurting feelings."

"Hahaha~"

Bai Bai Changmin determined that Li Li Xuewu was an opponent, raised his hand to make an invitation, and said: "Please!"

"Please!"

Li Li Xuewu also replied, and then the two, accompanied by Liu Liu Yongtao, walked out of the door together and headed toward the conference room.

The large conference room had long been fully arranged, and the negotiation team members from the steel mill and the chemical plant had also taken their seats on both sides.

To accommodate the steel mill, the chemical plant had also prepared an equal number of people during the time they were waiting.

Including the two main business cadres equal to the steel mill, Logistics Department Director Si Xiao Litong and Engineer Huang Jing Yongjie.

As soon as they entered the venue, it meant that the negotiation had officially begun.

Li Li Xuewu and Bai Bai Changmin sat facing each other in the middle positions of their respective sides, with business heads on both sides.

Others sat along the two sides; Ao Ao Yuhua sat below Gou Gou Zirong, also facing Liu Liu Yongtao.

Before the meeting began, Liu Liu Yongtao introduced the identities of Si Xiao Litong and Huang Jing Yongjie to the steel mill side, and Feng Feng Xingke and Gou Gou Zirong stood up to shake hands with the two people sitting opposite them respectively.

Pleasantries and politeness filled the conference room before the negotiation, and as the service staff closed the door, the negotiation officially began, and the harmony in the conference room instantly dissipated.

First, the steel mill side introduced the situation, and the cadres from the management department expounded and introduced the latest construction progress and management mode of the joint enterprise.

Subsequently, representatives from the logistics department introduced the current projects to be cooperated on and production needs.

Finally, representatives from the sales department introduced the joint enterprise's product workshops and product projects to be developed.

The three of them introduced the new operation situation of the joint enterprise to the chemical plant regarding several development directions.

Bai Bai Changmin listened while recording key information in the notebook in his hand.

After the steel mill representative's speech ended, he looked at Si Xiao Litong and Huang Jing Yongjie beside him.

Si Xiao Litong knew that the leader wanted him to speak, so he asked: "Please ask the comrades from the steel mill to explain the reasons for the failure of the previous two cooperations."

He looked at Li Li Xuewu, who was sitting in the middle, and said in a very straightforward tone: "After all, the foundation of cooperation is credibility; without this foundation, no matter how well you talk, it's useless."

After finishing, he raised his head slightly, paused, and said again: "Deputy Factory Director Jing from your factory also spoke very well last time."

Feng Feng Xingke glanced at the other party and knew that the chemical plant would make a fuss about this point.

What he didn't expect was that the other party was so straightforward and left no room for face.

"I will answer this question."

Feng Feng Xingke smiled slightly, glanced at Li Li Xuewu, and then said to Si Xiao Litong: "Today, we are sitting here, and the mood is the same as when Deputy Factory Director Jing came here to talk about projects and cooperation last time."

"The goal is also the same."

Feng Feng Xingke answered seriously: "Our common goal is to solve the service difficulties and personnel difficulties that most brother factories are facing."

"Of course, this is also a difficulty for the steel mill."

Feng Feng Xingke nodded and said: "A mountain nine ren high, the stone's will is even firmer; difficulties are truly difficulties. The steel mill is an explorer and practitioner on this road, and it is inevitable to bump heads and fall down."

"However, we do not give up exploration, nor do we abandon practice, let alone give up lightly; we are determined to make a name for ourselves on this road."

Deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces, Feng Feng Xingke summarized the failures of the previous two times as the inevitable result of doing work, and expressed the steel mill's rich experience.

Finally, Feng Feng Xingke smiled slightly and said sincerely: "He who travels a hundred miles covers ninety; the more difficult the cause, the more it tests friendship. We sincerely issue an invitation again for the two factories to join hands and move forward, overcome difficulties together, and make progress together."

Li Li Xuewu maintained a smile throughout, glanced at the few people opposite who were looking at each other, and said: "Director Feng expressed the bitterness and hardship of our steel mill people; this is what we have in our hearts."

After finishing, he glanced at Feng Feng Xingke, and then said: "Deputy Factory Director Jing has something to do and didn't come. If she were here, she would definitely be like all of us, expressing deep regrets for the previous two cooperations."

"As the old saying goes, bones break but tendons remain; brothers don't break kinship."

Li Li Xuewu sat in the chair with great momentum, but his tone was gentle, his voice soft, and his attitude clear.

His hand moved slightly on the table, signaling the other party and his own side, and said: "The steel mill and the chemical plant are in the same place, and they are brother units helping each other in the same place."

"I believe."

Li Li Xuewu pursed his lips and paused before saying: "The other party is also sitting here with the mood of 'the sea accepts all rivers, the sun and moon enter the bosom'."

"We must look forward~"

Compared to Feng Feng Xingke's words of pulling relationships, pouring out bitterness, sending kindness, and patting shoulders, Li Li Xuewu's words were simpler and more straightforward, pointing directly to the heart.

He spoke very slowly, but the rhythm was strong, the semantics were coherent, every sentence was reasonable, and every word was a pearl.

Especially the last sentence, which was both cutting and hitting, leaving the chemical plant people with no reason to bring this up again.

"Let's talk about specific business."

Bai Bai Changmin knew that this matter had to come to an end; the other party would not say anything humble about this issue, and it would be useless to pursue it further.

Negotiation pays attention to a rhythm and contradiction problem; this is not a debate competition, there is no need to fight with words.

Si Xiao Litong nodded, looked at the steel mill group, and asked: "Please ask the comrades from the steel mill to explain the reasons for the 3-7 profit sharing and personnel distribution ratio; I am quite surprised by this."

After finishing, he looked at his notebook, then raised his head and stared at Li Li Xuewu, saying: "I remember that in the previous cooperation plans, it was a 50-50 split."

"That is indeed the case."

Gou Gou Zirong smiled and nodded, then said: "Precisely because of the lessons learned from the two previous failures in building the factory, this time we carefully studied and organized discussions many times before modifying and perfecting the cooperation plan."

Under his signal, a person in charge handed a stack of cooperation plans to the other side.

The office staff on the opposite side quickly distributed these documents to their leaders.

While the chemical plant leaders were looking at the cooperation plan, Gou Gou Zirong also explained the latest cooperation plan in his hand.

"First is the change in the management system, abandoning the previous branch factory responsibility system, removing restrictive conditions, breaking down technical cooperation barriers, and carrying out production management in the form of management department—workshop—production group."

"Second is the change in the technical equity system; all technical applications in the workshop are based on product production needs, and technical profit sharing is carried out according to the proportion of technical investment."

Gou Gou Zirong looked at the other party seriously and said: "For example, the packaging workshop needs the steel mill's technology and the glass factory's technology."

"Then the products produced by that workshop will be shared by these two companies according to the proportion of technical investment."

Gou Gou Zirong lowered his head, looked at the plan in his hand, and continued to introduce: "The change in the personnel equity system has new changes based on the changes in the technical and management systems."

"In the technical equity workshop, personnel allocation needs to be configured according to a 7-3 ratio, which is to say, the steel mill provides seven people, and other factories provide three people."

"Here I want to give a special explanation."

Gou Gou Zirong raised his head, looked at Si Xiao Litong who was about to speak, and took the initiative to say the point he wanted to know.

"Under the premise that the steel mill provides the venue, provides the factory building, provides electricity, heat, and all other necessary conditions for industrial production!"

"It also provides product orders, transportation, sales, and a series of other issues."

Gou Gou Zirong's hand on the table opened slightly, looked at the other party, and asked: "Is it not normal for the cooperation party with technical equity to only need to provide production equipment and early-stage technical workers to enjoy 30% of the personnel allocation benefits?"

This question was really arrogant; those who didn't know would think this was the steel mill's conference room and the chemical plant people were begging to cooperate.

Si Xiao Litong also frowned after he threw out this question and said: "But you have to know the proportion of production equipment and technical workers in the product value."

After finishing, he raised his head slightly and said: "Without equipment and workers, there are no good products."

"This is definitely true."

Gou Gou Zirong also had a serious expression and said: "Without equipment and workers, products cannot be made!"

"But equipment and workers are not absolute conditions; equipment can be bought, workers can be taught. The steel mill is not the only one in the country, and we dare not say that without the steel mill, the whole country cannot use white iron sheets!"

"Hehe, don't be so angry."

Bai Bai Changmin smiled and looked at Gou Gou Zirong and Li Li Xuewu, then said: "Technology and equipment are indeed not necessary conditions that limit production, but cooperation is."

"This is of course."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and squinted his eyes, looking a bit like a fox and a bit like a hungry wolf.

"If we want production technology, we can completely go to the Beijing Machinery Factory to order a batch of machinery back to produce it ourselves, right?"

While speaking, he glanced at Gou Gou Zirong and others, and said with a smile: "The steel mill is not short of masters who engage in machinery."

In the confident eyes of Gou Gou Zirong and others, Li Li Xuewu straightened his expression, looked at Bai Bai Changmin, and said: "The mountain doesn't turn, the water turns; no one dares to say that their products and technology will be eternal and always leading."

"But cooperation can."

Li Li Xuewu was still using that speed and tone, saying unhurriedly: "Technical exchange, collision of ideas, product iteration, thinking innovation—this is a process of everyone participating and improving together."

When he said this, Li Li Xuewu signaled Si Xiao Litong and asked: "Director Si, do you dare to say that the chemical plant doesn't need the steel mill's technology?"

After finishing, he tapped the table lightly with his finger and said: "If you dare to say this, I don't even dare to say that the steel mill doesn't need the chemical plant's technology; that's called bragging."

"Right?!"

His words made the tense atmosphere in the conference room relax, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

"What is called win-win cooperation?"

Li Li Xuewu looked at Bai Bai Changmin and said seriously: "The joint enterprise takes products as the priority and technology as the priority; what it highlights is adapting to market needs, satisfying people's needs, and hitting fast, accurately, and ruthlessly!"

While speaking, he tapped the table lightly and looked at the chemical plant group: "Winter is coming soon, I want ten tons of cotton-padded clothes; if you tell me you can only deliver next summer, is that okay!"

Si Xiao Litong didn't laugh, because what Li Li Xuewu said wasn't funny, but rather very dangerous.

Very dangerous for the chemical plant, and very dangerous for this negotiation.

This person is completely not the young and simple person he appeared to be; he has great wisdom, great vision, and great ability.

Bai Bai Changmin smiled and said: "So discussing the importance of technology and equipment here is a false proposition."

After finishing, he looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "Then, Deputy Secretary Li, tell us how much of this ratio we can bear."

"Actually, to tell the truth, this plan really wasn't made by me."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to the plan in front of him, saying: "If it were up to my decision, it would be impossible to give such a high ratio."

As soon as this was said, everyone on the opposite side looked over.

What do you mean? You are here to smash the place!

So according to your meaning, if you were presiding over this cooperation plan, you wouldn't even give a 3-7 split?

Li Li Xuewu was deliberately showing this meaning; the plan was his plan, so he could say whatever he wanted.

"This year is a critical year for the steel mill; we need to advance, we need to open up wasteland, we need to achieve great results, and we need great progress."

Li Li Xuewu looked at everyone, the smile on his face had already disappeared, and he seriously explained his words.

"Just now, the comrades from the management department also introduced that the joint enterprise is going to start more than twenty, nearly thirty product workshops this time."

"We even plan to gradually increase the number of newly opened workshops and the number of research institutes."

Li Li Xuewu pointed to the cooperation plan in front of him and said: "The general direction is packaging workshops, auto parts, tertiary industry workshops, and military product workshops."

"Here, I want to emphasize the auto parts production workshop, because this is the main purpose of our coming to talk about cooperation this time."

Under the gaze of everyone in the chemical plant, Li Li Xuewu said something shocking: "Our factory is going to build cars."

As soon as this was said, everyone in the chemical plant was startled, and then looked over in disbelief.

Saying they want to build cars might be the dream of all heavy industrial production factories.

But this dream was popular ten years ago; why did the steel mill only start dreaming now?

Li Li Xuewu said confidently: "This is not me bragging; the whole car will be out in two months, the technology has basically been completely conquered, and the production line and factory are already under construction in Steel City."

Buzz~~

Inevitably, the chemical plant group began to whisper to each other, all with expressions of disbelief.

And looking at the confident and calm expressions of the steel mill group, these people all knew that this matter was probably true.

Bai Bai Changmin was shocked to the point of losing his composure, his face completely devoid of the calmness just now; he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is the auto parts workshop you mentioned for the new car?"

"This is exactly the purpose of our coming."

Li Li Xuewu said seriously: "The chemical technology and product production technology support involved in car manufacturing are all directions we can cooperate on."

After finishing, he tapped the cooperation plan and said: "The plan says 3-7 split, but it doesn't mean we only use your three people!"

This is indeed the case; car manufacturing is a group of parts industrial chains, which will use a large number of workers and technology.

Li Li Xuewu dared to say he wanted to build cars, and had already invested in construction, so it was really time to realize the dream.

Regardless of whether their car can actually be built, the posture they have pulled out now is very bluffing.

"I know that Chemical Plant No. 2 can produce sponge, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and engineering plastics."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Huang Jing Yongjie, who hadn't spoken, and said: "Now the plastic industry is booming, and our factory will participate in the Import and Export Exhibition in Yangcheng in October, and is also preparing to go to Yangcheng to inspect the plastic production environment."

"Well, the development of plastic production in Yangcheng is indeed faster than in Beijing."

Huang Jing Yongjie frowned slightly and said: "But this is the direction of chemical production; do you need to do it so big?"

"Not really."

Li Li Xuewu explained: "The application of plastic is too extensive, and we only need auto parts."

While speaking, he picked up a car picture and explained: "Car light covers can replace glass with polystyrene, which is stronger and more durable."

"Car lining boards, non-stress parts, flooring, etc., polyvinyl chloride can replace wood and steel plates, bringing a more excellent user experience while being lightweight."

"Fuel tanks, air duct assemblies..."

He used a pencil to indicate the positions on the drawing that could be replaced by plastic, explaining to the chemical plant group how he was reducing the weight of the car.

And in the eyes of the chemical plant group, he was playing with his life.

Si Xiao Litong interrupted and asked: "If everything is plastic, can this car still be driven?"

"This question has to be asked to Engineer Huang."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Huang Jing Yongjie opposite, saying: "I believe professional technical personnel can explain this problem from another angle."

Huang Jing Yongjie frowned slightly, his eyes still looking at the drawing Li Li Xuewu put down, and after hearing his words, he said: "No problem, plastic's strength and toughness have irreplaceable advantages."

After finishing, he looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "How did you think of using plastic on cars?"

"Actually, didn't it start long ago?"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Water pipes, steering wheels, dashboards, etc., the automotive industry needs a lot of technical support."

After finishing, he pulled the topic back and said: "We not only want to build cars, but also ships; shipbuilding also needs chemical technology and products."

"Also want to build ships?"

Bai Bai Changmin couldn't help but ask, looking at Li Li Xuewu full of suspicion.

Li Li Xuewu smiled confidently and asked back: "Do you know what our Deputy Factory Director Jing went to Yingcheng for?"

After finishing, without waiting for Bai Bai Changmin and others to guess, he said directly: "We acquired the largest shipyard in Yingcheng, and she went to receive it."

Buzz~~~

Another burst of discussion sounded; the good negotiation table became a place for Li Li Xuewu to show off his report card.

Bai Bai Changmin and others were a bit speechless; they were still saying earlier, isn't the steel mill a bit too generous, and they even sat in a Volga.

Also, the steel mill wants to cooperate, but not a single Deputy Factory Director came, and they arranged for a Deputy Secretary to come; what is this?

Saying they are busy, who believes it?

Didn't expect it!

They are going to build cars, and they are going to build ships, and they have already put it into action!

This isn't just being arrogant; it's like a cow flying in a plane—it's gone to the sky!

Not to mention being generous; if these are all accomplished, the person in front of him might have to sit in a Red Flag.

"Our invitation to cooperate is very sincere."

Li Li Xuewu said seriously: "Whether it is the development of the automotive industry, the development of the shipbuilding industry, or even the industrial production base being formed by the steel mill, we invite brother enterprises to share prosperity and achievements."

"Setting systems, setting technology, setting personnel is to clarify responsibilities, clarify assets, and be responsible to the steel mill and all partners."

Li Li Xuewu looked at everyone and said: "The joint enterprise currently has industrial production partners such as Glass Factory No. 3, Jinmen Seafood, Beijing Aquatic Products, Television Factory, Textile Factory No. 3, and Leather Factory No. 1."

"There are educational and technical research partners such as Huaqing University, Steel Institute, and Light Weapons Research Institute."

"There are service and trade partners such as Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Wufengxing Company, Garrison Third Regiment, Red Star Commune, Beijing Scrap Company, and Frontier Reclamation Corps."

The names of the units he called out directly tilted the balance of the negotiation to the steel mill's side, making the people sitting opposite straighten their expressions and disturb their hearts.

Now they only need to consider two things: if what he said is true, or if what he said is false.

Now it is Bai Bai Changmin's turn to think and judge.

He needs the opinions of two people: one is the logistics person in charge, Si Xiao Litong, and the other is the technical engineer, Huang Jing Yongjie.

Huang Jing Yongjie is a technical person, and when facing Deputy Factory Director Bai's inquiry, he could only give his opinions and suggestions from a technical perspective.

And Si Xiao Litong thinks a bit more, focusing on profit distribution and personnel distribution.

He doesn't care how awesome the steel mill's development is, building ships, cars, or planes; he only cares about what he can get right now.

As long as these product workshops use the chemical plant and need the chemical plant to constantly innovate technology and continuously support them, it is a bottomless pit of investment.

Technology is also a cost; technology is also money; now is the negotiation time, saying what you want, this is the essence of negotiation.

After discussing with the two, Bai Bai Changmin looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "There are a few questions for final consultation."

"First is how to ensure fairness in profit distribution, second is how to ensure fairness in management systems, then is how to ensure execution in personnel systems, and finally is how to ensure operation in welfare systems."

"Four points, I will answer them one by one."

Li Li Xuewu said: "First is the profit distribution system, which is related to financial management."

While saying this, he looked at Feng Feng Xingke and said: "Director Feng, our plan also stipulates that the management department is responsible for this, right?"

Seeing Feng Feng Xingke nod, Li Li Xuewu looked at Bai Bai Changmin and said: "Independent financial accounting, the management department forms its own system, supports quarterly audits, and also supports financial stationing for supervision."

While speaking, Li Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "We are even willing to invite a financial section chief sent by the cooperation unit to manage financial work."

As soon as this was said, everyone on the opposite side smiled slightly; this was generous and humorous.

"All products produced by the joint enterprise are executed according to the independent financial management system, including welfare items."

Li Li Xuewu looked at everyone and said: "There is no such thing as taking more or less; if you want more, you spend more money, and if you want less, you spend less money."

"The money you spend has nothing to do with dividends."

"Fairness in management systems is very simple."

Li Li Xuewu said straightforwardly: "All management and executive positions in the joint enterprise management department welcome all partners to send people and contribute."

"Hehehe~"

The chemical plant people all laughed when they heard this sentence.

Li Li Xuewu also smiled and continued: "Management is done by people; if you want management to be fair, personnel work must be just, so all positions in the joint enterprise management department are for the capable to go up and the weak to go down."

"Finally is the welfare system."

Li Li Xuewu's finger tapped the table lightly and said: "I already mentioned it just now; it's still the same meaning. We have to join forces to do big things."

"I have a food factory, you have an ice cream factory; put them together and you have canned food, and I can also eat ice cream; that's what it means."

Bai Bai Changmin nodded, considering he understood all the meanings in Li Li Xuewu's words, and asked seriously: "Can Deputy Secretary Li make the decision on all the contents of the negotiation above?"

"Hehe~"

Li Li Xuewu smiled slightly, squinted his eyes, looked at Bai Bai Changmin, and asked: "Are you doubting me, or are you doubting the steel mill?!"
