Chapter 826

"Hoo~"

Zhang Changming blew a cigarette, eased the wine, and said: "Speaking of this fishing boat, it really hit today."

As he spoke, he gestured to the direction of Bai Xiyuan and Liu Lin and asked: "We are the ones who deal with fishermen and production teams the most, right?"

Watching his subordinates nod, he introduced to Li Xuewu and Li Huai De: "Our Aquatic Products Corporation has its own deep-sea fishing operation team, and also has near-sea aquaculture areas."

"Other acquisition and dispatch schemes are different."

Zhang Changming introduced: "The fishery brigades of the coastal communes and their logistics teams that eat unified grain, and the deep, middle, and shallow sea operation teams of the state-owned fishing companies all dispatch 60% according to the production plan of the year, and keep 40% for themselves."

"The company signs a dispatch contract with the fishery brigade, and then the fishery brigade implements it to the production team; the excess plan is handled by the accounting unit that undertakes the dispatch task."

"For semi-fishing and semi-agricultural areas and urban residents engaged in shallow miscellaneous sea production, those who eat national unified grain must also be dispatched."

"Semi-fishing and semi-agricultural areas that do not eat national unified grain do not need to be dispatched, nor do they supply fishing materials."

"For products of production units or individuals without dispatch tasks, the aquatic product acquisition department can adopt the form of negotiated purchase or exchange."

"The dispatch form is to take the method of dividing fish at ordinary times, according to the actual output per voyage, buying six and keeping four, checking quarterly, and settling annually."

"The self-retained part of aquatic products is handled by the production unit itself, and it is allowed to be sold in the agricultural trade market or exchanged for fishing materials."

"But!"

Zhang Changming flicked the cigarette ash and emphasized earnestly: "Last month, the management department of the city issued the latest document notice."

"The purchase and sales policy of aquatic products has also been changed from the original dispatch division to unified acquisition; fishermen are not allowed to engage in private fishing."

"No unit or individual is allowed to purchase fish goods privately on the ship, and no one is allowed to buy and sell privately in the streets and alleys."

"Aquatic products are not allowed to enter the trade market, blocking the spontaneous loopholes of capitalism."

Zhang Changming looked at Li Xuewu and tilted his head, saying: "In order to strengthen the management of aquatic product acquisition, the above requires our company to expand the purchase and sales network and expand the scope of service."

He raised his hand to gesture to Han Qingwei when he said this, meaning that the leader knew about this.

"The above also requires us to establish a maritime acquisition fleet to acquire at sea."

"The pressure is very high!"

Han Qingwei nodded, looked at Li Huai De and Li Xuewu, and said: "From brothers to heads of households and big nannies, the burden on us has increased suddenly."

"We all know about things at sea without saying."

Zhang Changming drank too much wine, and dared to speak; the Rolling Mill is not in their system, so there is no taboo to say it.

"No one can guarantee that fishermen will not bring fish back and send them to where; what we do is at most stretching our hands forward."

"Even very annoying."

Zhang Changming smiled bitterly when he saw the leader's reprimanding eyes, and nodded to show he understood.

Looking at Li Xuewu again, his face had a serious expression, and he said: "If the Rolling Mill wants to engage in a fishing boat project, we can talk about deepening cooperation."

Li Xuewu glanced at Li Huai De and showed Li Huai De's attitude of one word and nine tripods very well.

After waiting for Li Huai De to nod, he smiled and said: "We are brother units, you need it, we happen to have it; isn't it a coincidence!"

"Coincidence!"

Zhang Changming took the initiative to raise his wine glass and clinked with Li Xuewu, as if it were a relaxed task.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to be careless anymore; those who tell the truth are not necessarily friends, and enemies may also tell the truth when they hold a gun to you.

Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Changming gave Li Xuewu a thumbs up and sighed sincerely to Han Qingwei and Li Huai De: "It's really an eye-opener today, wine immortal."

"Hehehe~"

Li Huai De smiled and glanced at Li Xuewu, then said to Zhang Changming: "You are all young people, and you are the backbone responsible for specific business; communicate more."

As he spoke, he looked at Han Qingwei beside him and said: "My meaning and Director Han's are the same; we hold hands, connect hearts, do a good job in trade projects, maintain brotherly relations, and everyone moves forward together and develops together."

"I toast you!"

Zhang Changming laughed wantonly, as if he was not afraid of being drunk.

After drinking with Li Huai De, he looked at the other party and said: "The management side gave a bottom line, 1% of the annual shipment volume is decided by ourselves."

He looked at Han Qingwei again, spread his hands and said: "This is our sincerity."

"Cooperation and win-win~"

Han Qingwei smiled and said to Li Xuewu: "Just like Director Li said, you are young people, your brains are active, you have the spirit of breaking through, communicate more, the future is still long."

"Listen to you."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, glanced at Zhang Changming opposite, and said: "Our Director Li also looks forward to the development of Tianjin in the future and is willing to invest more energy and time in this side."

Gesturing to the direction of the Purple Bamboo Forest, he said: "In the afternoon, we turned around several alternative addresses for the office, and one of them was very much to Director Li's heart."

"Oh?! Which one is it?"

Han Qingwei gestured to Li Xuewu and said: "Tell me, I want to hear it; I am very willing to see the Rolling Mill office settle in Tianjin."

"It is the former East Asia Bank site facing the 17th Wharf of Meihe."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Close to the port and the street, it is also the trade zone of our Tianjin; Director Li is very satisfied with that side."

"It's just too expensive, hehe."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Huai De, as if it were offensive to break the leader's mind.

When Han Qingwei looked over, Li Huai De also smiled freely and said: "I really like it, but the price is too high; our trade project has just started after all."

Han Qingwei raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Changming, and Zhang Changming also accurately received the leader's message.

"Was it for this that Deputy Director Zhuang asked about the Foreign Aid Office a few days ago?"

Zhang Changming took the initiative to say: "Why? I know that property; it has been empty for many years; how much did they want?"

"Twenty-eight thousand."

Of course, this cannot be said by Li Huai De and Li Xuewu; Zhuang Cangshu was very sensible and took over the conversation: "It's also my fault; I didn't do a good job, and there might be a problem with communication."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Changming waved his hand and said to Li Xuewu and Li Huai De: "The Foreign Aid Office is separated from the Housing Management Bureau by a wall, and no one has the final say in the Housing Management Bureau."

As he spoke, he took this stub very righteously and asked Li Huai De: "Director Li, we want the best, the most satisfactory one; what is your idea?"

"Of course, the cheaper the better."

Li Huai De cannot let Li Huai De speak, and he cannot say the price, so he will lose face, so he turned from defense to offense in a confrontation.

"The leader's meaning is that he has taken a fancy to the trade advantage of Tianjin Port and wants to slowly transfer the management and sales center of the trade project to Tianjin."

"This is a good thing."

Han Qingwei glanced at Zhang Changming and blocked it before he spoke; the people of the Rolling Mill didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and they couldn't be too active.

The one who rushes is not a business!

He said to Li Huai De: "In the future, when the trade project comes to Tianjin, we will have more time to sit together and drink."

"Hehe~"

Li Huai De smiled lightly: "I really hope to come to Tianjin often!"

Zhang Changming was a little anxious, glanced at Han Qingwei, and seeing that the leader no longer blocked it, he said: "This matter is not an outsider; maybe I can help."

"Oh?!"

Li Xuewu was surprised: "Deputy General Zhang has such ability?!"

"Hahaha~"

Han Qingwei smiled and looked at Li Huai De and Li Xuewu respectively, and explained softly: "Comrade Changming has some relationships in the city."

"That's really great."

Li Xuewu smiled and raised his wine glass to toast Zhang Changming: "It's really a fate that brings us together today; I toast you a cup of wine."

Zhang Changming smiled bitterly and clinked glasses with Li Xuewu, holding the wine glass and saying: "Help is okay, but this wine must be slower~"

After speaking, he also drank the wine in the cup very heroically.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone was amused by his words; who doesn't know that the company's Deputy General Zhang has a good capacity for alcohol, but today he hit an iron plate.

Li Xuewu looked at Zhuang Cangshu and said: "Deputy Director Zhuang is temporarily responsible for the business of the Tianjin office; please ask Deputy General Zhang for more advice."

"A place has a place's style of doing things; when in Rome, do as the Romans do; if you don't understand anything, you have to visit more."

"No, no, no~"

Zhang Changming waved his hand and said: "This matter is not too difficult."

He looked at Li Xuewu and asked directly: "Have we replied to the housing management side?"

"This..."

Li Xuewu looked at Zhuang Cangshu and blinked twice, saying: "I haven't seen the specific acquisition plan, what is the final agreed price?"

Zhuang Cangshu saw Li Xuewu blink, so he knew the problem was solved, and smiled at Zhang Changming: "We also asked the Engineering Office to estimate the price, 130,000."

"Almost, it's an old house of more than 20 years."

Zhang Changming pressed the cigarette butt in his hand, nodded to Li Xuewu and said: "Okay, I will ask about this tomorrow, and I will give you a definite answer then."

After speaking, he asked: "Aren't we not leaving tomorrow? Let's ask more."

Li Xuewu smiled and raised the wine in the cup, saying: "Then I will trouble you, thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhang Changming to react, and drank the wine in the cup again.

Zhang Changming smiled bitterly and glanced at Li Xuewu, knowing that this was a lesson for not knowing Taishan, and could only follow and drink a cup.

Li Xuewu didn't show the bottom of the cup again, smiled and put down the wine glass, looked at Li Huai De and gestured to Zhang Changming's direction: "Tomorrow I will talk to Deputy General Zhang about the work of the shipyard; we need the advice and opinions of insiders in this regard."

"Let go, communicate more."

Li Huai De knew that tonight's wine was not drunk in vain, and it was considered a good start for tomorrow's symposium.

After mutual probing and communication, what can be said at the dinner table is said first, and what can be done is promised first; the next step is to wait for the hangover to talk at the conference table.

Without black and white, Li Xuewu doesn't believe he is blowing a cow with himself here.

This wave of "scheming" is nothing; commercial banquets are not purely for eating seafood and drinking good wine; those who are are big fools without hearts.

Is there really anyone who only cares about eating at such a banquet?!

"Taste this prawn."

Han Qingwei gestured for Li Xuewu to taste the delicacies in front of him; the words to be talked about have landed, and it is time to communicate feelings.

Li Xuewu took a bite of the fresh and chewy, very elastic, and very textured.

"Prawns are now special supply commodities and do not circulate in the market."

Bai Xiyuan explained: "Our company also has export business, mainly in Southeast Asian countries; we couldn't eat this when we guaranteed exports a few days ago."

Zhang Changming saw Li Xuewu's surprise, so he smiled and explained: "Our company also has a brand, called Food Import and Export Corporation Tianjin Aquatic Products Company."

"Business is separated, management is not separated."

He didn't explain in detail, just let Li Xuewu know that their company is also very capable.

Li Xuewu nodded clearly, listening to Bai Xiyuan continue to talk about the situation of the Aquatic Products Company.

He focused on introducing the near-sea aquaculture industry and deep-sea fishing operations, especially emphasizing the rich profits and fish catches of deep-sea fishing now.

Li Xuewu listened very carefully; although he didn't understand fishing, and didn't understand shipbuilding, it didn't prevent him from managing this project.

If there is a need, there will be manufacturing; since the Tianjin Aquatic Products Corporation needs it, the Yingcheng Shipyard will manufacture it.

Deep-sea fishing boats, near-sea fishing cargo ships, plus freezers and ice makers, formulate the style and specifications of fishing boats according to the fishing nets used and fishing methods.

The knowledge here is too great; Li Xuewu doesn't need to study it, as long as he understands the general meaning.

He can design a car, but he dare not blow this cow for designing a large fishing boat.

If the car design is not good, it will fall into the ditch at most; if the fishing boat design is not good, it will capsize.

Professional things are left to professional people, but it is not bad to listen to the introduction of professionals now.

The banquet then entered this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere; everyone put down their wine glasses and moved their chopsticks.

The people of the Rolling Mill eat a lot, and the people of the Aquatic Products Corporation eat little; they are tired of eating.

Seafood lies in the word fresh; even if it is special supply, it cannot stop the deterioration and loss of transportation; to eat the freshest, it must be on a yacht, caught and made.

But there is no such high-end condition now, so we can only take the second best; those caught on the ship at night can be considered fresh if they can be eaten on the same day.

Everyone has depth; they are talking about millions of businesses at the table; they can't be piled up with clam shells in front of them.

It's enough to be full of wine and food; don't lose the face of the Rolling Mill.

Li Xuewu thought the program tonight ended here, but he didn't expect to be invited by Zhang Changming again; the group arrived next to the banquet hall and found that this was still a small dance hall.

Li Huai De's eyes clearly lit up; he likes this very much!

He... he just likes this art of dancing!

Li Xuewu walked down the stairs, feeling the softness of the red carpet under his feet; it is very energetic to dance on this.

It's not that the soft carpet is suitable for dancing, but it is suitable for dancing while hugging each other; you hold me, I hold you, it's easy to fall if you don't get close.

So, Tianjin people know how to play!

Such places are basically closed in the capital, unless they are internal ones like the Aquatic Products Company, which are used by a small number of people and are preserved.

And those who dance in such places are no longer young people who love dance, and women are no longer flowers blooming in youth.

It is impossible to buy tickets or enter as a worker; it can only be...

Li Xuewu's guess was correct; they had just sat down in the lounge area, and before they had two sips of tea, they saw more than a dozen girls in white skirts walk in.

Although they changed their clothes, Li Xuewu still recognized the girl who poured wine for him.

And that girl also sat down beside Li Xuewu under his gaze.

It can only be a waiter; guesthouses, management offices, foreign offices, and even cultural troupes in this era have such dance tasks.

Don't think crookedly; theoretically, nothing will happen; social dance in this era is very formal and is a social activity.

The above also dances, and even goes to dance after working until midnight; the objects participating in the dance party are mainly dance actors and bands of K, Z, and H.

I don't know the reason later, Z and H are not allowed to go, only K people are retained.

Li Xuewu also heard Li Huai De say a word when chatting; he didn't know the specifics; after all, he couldn't get into the Chun'ou Studio northwest of FengZ Garden now.

There is no dim light, and the songs are positive; everyone is just taking advantage of the time of the scattered wine to move around.

Li Xuewu danced a song with the waiter named Bai Ling, and then sat on the sofa to rest.

The number of female comrades is greater than that of male comrades; this situation can only appear on such occasions.

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't dance, Bai Ling sat beside him to be lazy, and also listened to him talking about the customs of Tianjin with Deputy General Zhang.

Maybe she was curious about this tall, fierce and elegant man, Bai Ling's eyes were always on Li Xuewu.

When talking, Li Xuewu smiled and she smiled, and when Li Xuewu was serious, she also put away her smile.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to her; a chance encounter, he wouldn't touch this relationship; his circle of friends is very simple.

Also, whether the cup of wine she poured had Zhang Changming's relationship is hard to say; it is better to stay away from such girls with many thoughts.

Li Huai De and Han Qingwei are both people who like art; except for a ten-minute break in the middle, they basically danced the whole show.

Neither of their stomachs is small; dancing with them is a technical job.

Li Huai De is okay, Han Qingwei's dance posture is a bit funny.

His figure is short, but he likes to find tall female comrades to dance, and it is easy to step continuously when he can't keep up with the steps.

Li Xuewu estimated that if it weren't for the gap in status covering up the facts of the scene, everyone would have laughed by now.

Didn't play for a long time on the dance hall side, and dispersed before ten o'clock; although Li Huai De drank a lot of wine, his reason was still there, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

However, after saying goodbye to the people of the Aquatic Products Company, when walking in the corridor back to the room, Li Huai De said to Li Xuewu softly: "This activity is good; we can learn from the advanced experience here when we have our own foreign reception guesthouse in the future."

Li Xuewu found it funny in his heart; he didn't expect that dancing would lead to advanced experience.

He promised with his mouth, saying that he would discuss it after going to Yangcheng for inspection; at that time, he could dig deeply and focus on development.

After pulling two idle eggs with Li Huai De, he took another comfortable hot bath after returning to the room.

There was no business to handle this time, and he soaked for almost an hour.

He made a cup of hot tea with the thermos in the room, sat on the rattan sofa by the window, looked at the night view and moonlight outside the window, blew the night wind that didn't know when it became gentle, emptied his brain, and relaxed his nerves.

After a meal, it was more tiring than shooting ten people!

The itinerary for Friday was very tight, but it went very smoothly.

In the morning, Liu Lin, Deputy Director of the Office of the Aquatic Products Corporation, accompanied Li Huai De and Wang Zongli to see the aquatic product distribution market, and looked at the warehouse and reprocessing factory.

And at the Aquatic Products Corporation, Zhang Changming presided over the reception of the inspection team represented by Li Xuewu from the Rolling Mill.

Both sides carried out trade consultations and specific matters of deep cooperation in a friendly atmosphere.

The symposium determined the trade conditions for several major categories of products within the trade project, and the commodity trade plan outside the project.

The most important thing is to finalize the main sales channels and trade direction of the Yingcheng Shipyard in Tianjin for the next five years.

Tianjin Aquatic Products promised that it will provide no less than 200 fishing boat orders of more than 200 tons within three years, and no less than 50 fishing boat orders of more than 500 tons within five years.

At the same time, after Tianjin Aquatic Products inspects and determines the construction capacity and qualifications of Yingcheng Shipyard, it will provide 5 orders for 500-ton refrigerated transport ships, and 3 orders for 1,000-ton cargo ships.

The agreement condition is that Yingcheng Shipyard guarantees to start construction on time, complete on time, and manufacture ships according to order requirements.

At the same time, the Rolling Mill guarantees the cooperative status of Tianjin Aquatic Products in the trade project, and guarantees that the number of ships delivered by the agency sales is no less than 50% of the external sales of the Tianjin office.

That is to say, for the fishing boats produced by Yingcheng Shipyard, as long as they are sold locally in Tianjin, if ten ships are sold, five of them must be from the Aquatic Products Corporation.

The Aquatic Products Corporation holds the acquisition and sales of Tianjin fishery, and they want to ensure the advanced nature of the fishing fleet and related fleets belonging to the Aquatic Products Corporation in terms of technology.

Li Xuewu was able to talk about half of the conditions because of the advantages of the shipyard itself; Tianjin needs fishing boats too much now.

Of course, after the order is talked about, Yingcheng Shipyard will not worry about having no work to start in the next five years.

However, this is not the goal of the Rolling Mill's acquisition of Yingcheng Shipyard; the workload of more than 14,000 tons a year cannot reach the production potential of Yingcheng Shipyard at all.

If you build a 14,000-ton giant ship, it is estimated that you can't finish it in a year, but if you say they are all 500-ton fishing boats and cargo ships, you can realize it.

Shipbuilding is not the bigger the simpler; tonnage improvement represents a doubling of technical requirements.

This is the development idea provided by Li Xuewu for Yingcheng Shipyard; start with the small ones, and you can build big ones slowly.

Shipbuilding is actually the same thing as car manufacturing; Yingcheng Shipyard does not produce engines itself; as long as you want heavy industry in this land of the Northeast, you can definitely find it.

Heavy diesel engines are purchased from the 17th Factory, which are special marine diesel engines.

Li Xuewu really doesn't understand the shipbuilding industry, and it is estimated that Xu Sinian is also confused now.

After talking with Zhang Changming, it was time for lunch; Han Qingwei called the leaders of the company who were at home, and had a slightly simpler lunch with Li Huai De and others who came back.

Li Xuewu estimated that Han Qingwei's reappearance might be related to the results of the morning's negotiations, or it might be related to the fact that they were leaving today.

Of course, the morning only finalized the intention of cooperation, and did not sign any documents for the cooperation of ships.

Even if Li Xuewu wanted to sign, the other party would not agree.

This time coming to Tianjin, Li Huai De also officially invited the Tianjin Aquatic Products Corporation on behalf of the Rolling Mill, asking them to be guests at the Rolling Mill in the capital.

Han Qingwei has officially responded on behalf of the Tianjin Aquatic Products Corporation; the Aquatic Products Corporation will return to the Rolling Mill in November.

At that time, they will inspect several major projects of the Rolling Mill and sign the agreement on the cooperation that has been negotiated.

Why choose November? Because Han Qingwei also said that he wanted to see the Rolling Mill's cars.

Li Xuewu didn't feel that he was very interested in the automobile manufacturing industry, but felt that he was waiting, waiting to see if the wind in the capital would be smaller in two months.

If the wind in the capital gets bigger and bigger by then, it is estimated that he will not come to the capital.

Such people are cautious, and will never take risks.

The morning's work is finished, and the afternoon's work is easy.

After resting for a period of time at noon and avoiding the big sun, Li Xuewu and his party came out of the guesthouse, exchanged greetings with Zhang Changming who came to see them off, and got into the car.

The three-day itinerary is very tight; on the first day, four office site selections were seen, and an intentional negotiation was made with the Tianjin Aquatic Products Corporation.

On the second morning, the details of the cooperation intention were officially finalized, and the relationship between the two units was handled.

In the afternoon, Li Huai De and Li Xuewu will rush to Jingu; they will continue to inspect the site selection work of the office in Jingu Xingang.

On the third morning, that is, tomorrow morning, they may come back to listen to the results if there is definite news here.

Zhang Changming said at noon that he had made an appointment with the leaders of the city, and would take Zhuang Cangshu to talk about the East Asia Bank site in the afternoon.

Li Huai De was not at ease, so he left Li Haiyang here, so the team was reduced from seven to six after getting in the car.

Two cars, boarded the ship at Meihekou Wharf, and arrived in Jingu in more than two hours.

Shipping is convenient; since the history of urban construction, large cities have been built in locations convenient for shipping; this is not unreasonable.

The motorcade came down from the ship, passed through Jingu County, and went straight to the Xingang Wharf reopened in 1952.

Li Xuewu looked at the desolation outside the window and found it difficult to find the buildings in his memory.

The motorcade did not enter the busy wharf, and was stopped by the security guard only on the outskirts of the port.

The staff went to coordinate the entry procedures, but Li Huai De and Li Xuewu got out of the car, stood on the side of the road and looked at the wharf in the distance.

"This is the big port that can accommodate 10,000-ton freighters."

Li Huai De looked at the busy scene in the distance and sighed: "The development of the motherland is really different every day; I didn't dare to think before that our own ships could be built so big."

"Building big ships is no longer an ability; in the future, it will become more and more subdivided and professional."

Li Xuewu rubbed his nose; he wanted to smoke; facing such an open scene, he felt comfortable only after lighting a cigarette.

"Last night, I chatted with Zhang Changming and Bai Xiyuan; now deep-sea fishing boats are designed according to fishing gear."

He pointed to the wooden fishing boats floating on the sea and said: "Such general-purpose fishing boats will be eliminated."

"Like trawlers, purse seiners, whaling ships, fishery processing ships, etc."

Li Xuewu turned back and leaned against the wooden railing, looking at the water bubble on the other side, and said: "The current situation is not very good; first solve the technical problems, then solve the development problems."

Li Huai De leaned on the railing, looked at the ships in the distance, and said: "What you said makes sense, and you see it very thoroughly."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Actually, is the development of the shipbuilding industry unfavorable to the development of the shipyard?"

"Or do you have no confidence in the shipyard?"

Li Huai De smiled and didn't care much about Li Xuewu's answer, and looked up at the seagulls circling in the sky again.

From the capital to Tianjin, from Tianjin to the seaside, Li Xuewu could clearly feel that Li Huai De's mentality had changed.

Or it can be said that the mind is much broader, the vision is broad, and the thought is sublimated?

"The development of the shipbuilding industry does not depend on whether I have confidence or not."

Li Xuewu turned around, faced the sea and said: "I firmly believe that we will definitely be the strongest in the shipbuilding industry in the future."

"But it's still that sentence, solve the production problems in front of you first, and then mention development."

Li Xuewu glanced at the direction of the port gate and said: "Building fishing boats is just one direction; the future is the world of shipping; communication between countries in the world will become more and more close and frequent."

"Even if we are surrounded by enemies now."

He raised his hands, his tone paused, and continued: "But you also heard what the people from the Aquatic Products Company said, export trade is still continuing."

"One thousand tons is a watershed; it can be sea transport or inland river transport; if it is larger, it can only be sea transport."

Li Xuewu saw the staff running back, so he patted the dust on his hands, smiled at Li Huai De and said: "Don't worry, Yingcheng Shipyard has a five-year start-up time, and I have already negotiated the order."

"Including 1,000-ton cargo ships."

His confidence is easy to infect people; Li Huai De glanced at him, also smiled, and nodded: "I am at ease with you handling things."

As he spoke, he patted Li Xuewu's arm and signaled to get in the car and continue the journey.

This afternoon, I have to look at two freight yards; many goods of the Rolling Mill will be shipped and unloaded at the Xingang in the future.

Including parts, steel, and automobiles transported from Steel City, and automobile parts and other commodities produced by joint enterprises to be transported out of the capital.

Shipping must be cheaper than train transportation, and it does not occupy the train's car skin plan; the railway transportation plan is too tight now, and you don't know where it will be blocked by the little cubs.

These people are engaged in "big tourism," taking trains without money, staying in hotels and eating without money; anyway, they are rushing all over the country.

Those from the South Island can go to Harbin to see, and those from Harbin can also go to the South Island to turn around; they are all rushing to the capital from all directions; as long as they get on the train, it is considered a trip.

When coming out, the leader of the Beijing Station said that even if there is a trade project, it must be a special train; it cannot be sent from the Beijing Station, but must be hung from the Rolling Mill and go directly.

Li Xuewu asked the Finance Office to measure it; considering comprehensively, shipping saves about 35% compared to railway transportation.

The reason actually lies in the large transport capacity of shipping, the large restrictions of railway transportation, and the low fuel cost of shipping.

A train with the maximum full load is equivalent to the transport capacity of a cargo ship of the Dongfeng Shipping Company now.

Eleven years ago, that is, in 1955, the country began to promote container transportation, and the railway department also began to promote operation.

The plan formulated by Li Xuewu for the transport route from Steel City to the capital is segmented operation.

Simply put, the first segment: Steel City and Yingcheng realize interconnection in the form of shipping and railway transportation.

Because the distance between cities is short, the transport of heavy steel or parts is based on reality; if it is convenient to use ships, inland river transport is implemented; if it is not convenient, railway is used.

The second segment: Yingcheng to Tianjin takes shipping as an important development direction, reducing the cost and car skin plan of railway transportation.

The third segment: Tianjin to the capital is converted into two forms of shipping and railway transportation.

Tianjin to the capital has inland river transport lines such as the South Canal, Ziya River, North Canal, Ji Canal, and Liangma River.

The car skin plan between Steel City and the capital is more inclined to use refrigerated trains.

According to the urgency of time and the requirements of cargo types and transportation, Tianjin will be included in the trade route in the future.

Steel-Capital: Railway, shipping direct.

Steel-Ying: Shipping, railway direct.

Ying-Tian: Shipping direct.

Tian-Capital: Railway, shipping direct.

More transportation means and channels allow the capital and Steel City to have more convenient communication conditions.

For heavy industrial enterprises like the Rolling Mill, the cost saved in transportation every year is enough to support a shipyard.

The use of containers makes shipping a key node in changing transportation.

He gestured to the furnishings in the lobby and said: "This place is a bit too big; ordinary units can't use it, and those who can use it aren't willing to rent it, so it's been empty for five years."

"Renting?"

Li Xuewu turned to look at him and asked: "Are you talking about renting?"

"No."

Zhuang Cangshu twitched the corner of his mouth and explained: "The aid-foreign office coordinated with the housing management office; if it can be negotiated, then we can go through the buying procedures."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and said: "I estimate they have no choice with this property either; it's better to sell it than to leave it empty."

Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, indicating he understood; it was only at this time that people dared to sell these properties.

Chaos has its benefits; at least there are bastards in power who don't feel pain when selling their grandfather's fields.

Properties like this are generally held by the housing management office; various units apply if they need housing or office space, and they coordinate it.

If it's for public use, then go through the allocation procedures; if it's for public institutions, then go through the rental procedures.

Commercial buying and selling methods are extremely rare; after all, this is also a kind of asset loss.

But what time is it now?

Li Xuewu estimated that the housing management office had also "reformed," and there were people using their positions to fish for things.

Li Huai De perhaps thought of himself and understood the mindset of the people in the housing management office.

The two went upstairs to take a look; and don't say, although there was a lot of dust and many dilapidated places, the flaws didn't obscure the virtues, and the more they looked, the more they liked it.

The ceiling is high, and people feel bright in it; if the infrastructure is complete, this location is truly suitable as a trade office.

"As a bridgehead for the trade project's eastward expansion and the expansion of sea transport exports, the Jinmen office has its important existence significance."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "Jinmen has abundant marine resources, an excellent geographical location, and developed transport and trade foundations; in the future, it must become an extension of trade project management."

Li Huai De paused slightly while going downstairs, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked: "Do you think this location is suitable?"

"I think Jinmen is suitable."

Li Xuewu's hand rested lightly on Li Huai De's elbow, signaling to continue walking down, while saying: "When I came, I was still hesitating whether to set up an office in Jinmen or in Jingu."

"After all, Jingu's port environment is better than the one inside Jinmen city."

Li Xuewu's voice was very soft, only the two of them could hear: "But now it seems that we must make a choice within Jinmen city."

"Oh?"

Li Huai De replied: "Are you saying we don't need to look at Jingu anymore?"

"No, we still have to look."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Our purpose in coming is not just for those small commodities, but also for the most important shipping trade."

Li Huai De frowned slightly, walking down step by step, and said: "The trade project is in the initial stage, and the commodity list is under construction; we shouldn't take too big a step."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Li Xuewu, saying: "It's easy to tear your balls."

"Yes, it's because it's close to the capital."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's mainly that you will have to work harder in the future, running between the capital and Jinmen."

"Hehe~ Have I had less hard work?"

Li Huai De chuckled, pointed at Li Xuewu, stepped down the steps, walked to the middle of the lobby, and looked at the screen wall facing the gate again; the totem painting on it was actually quite good-looking.

Beckoning Zhuang Cangshu over, Li Huai De raised his eyebrows and asked: "What's their asking price?"

"This..."

Zhuang Cangshu glanced at Li Xuewu, then said softly: "It hasn't reached the stage of asking price yet, but the news I heard is that some units have asked for 280,000."

"Bullshit!"

Li Huai De scolded not too heavily, then waved his hand and said to Zhuang Cangshu: "Press it down to 150,000 before talking!"

After finishing, he walked outside with his hands behind his back; he wanted to look at the Roman columns at the door again; this thing wasn't used much in the capital's architecture.

"Deputy Secretary Li... this..."

Zhuang Cangshu looked at Li Xuewu with difficulty, spreading his hands with a face full of bitterness.

This isn't a matter of bargaining; it's a bone-breaking price cut.

Li Xuewu patted his arm and said with a smile: "Listen to the leader; press it down to 150,000 first."

Seeing Li Xuewu say the same, Zhuang Cangshu shook his head helplessly, truly not knowing what to say.

The group returned to the backyard, looked at the dormitory building and other equipment and facilities, and then got into the car to go to the next place.

In less than two hours, the group looked at four locations, all with courtyards and office buildings like this, but Li Huai De didn't say much about the following three.

The reason for the requirement of having a courtyard was because the office had to sell cars, so they had to prepare showrooms and warehouses for the cars, and also leave enough living space for the stationed staff.

The Rolling Mill hadn't thought about hiring a large number of office staff locally; this had to do with the current personnel management system.
