Chapter 870: What are you doing?!

The topic of southerners being better at business than northerners lasted until the exhibition hall closed in the afternoon.

There were fire and safety requirements here, and closing the hall at a unified time was not allowed to continue arranging exhibition stands.

Li Xuewu took the temporary approval slip from Lin cadre and asked Zhou Yao to coordinate the security of the exhibition stand.

Except for extreme situations, as long as it wasn't someone from the Steel Rolling Mill, they couldn't let the other party get close to the exhibition stand.

It was a position close to the corner itself. As long as it wasn't someone with a heart, who would come here at this time.

Guns were all stuck on the waist and couldn't be decorations. Li Xuewu was very concerned about the eyes lighting up and the first impression.

Since he wanted to make things happen, he couldn't be petty.

Waiting for the large force to return to the Tire Factory Second Guesthouse, he first arranged for everyone to eat dinner, and then called everyone to hold a collective meeting.

Li Huai De had social engagements, and Jing Yunong couldn't bear it and went to rest.

Xia Zhongquan insisted on accompanying Li Xuewu, but was rejected by him because his old arms and legs were useless.

Chief Engineer Xia was very hurt, changed into swimming trunks, and took his secretary to the seaside to swim.

It was much simpler for Li Xuewu to preside over the meeting. There was no long-winded opening speech, only business.

First, he introduced the contradictions in the afternoon, vividly provoking everyone's self-esteem and protective emotions.

In a high-spirited atmosphere, Li Xuewu started the pre-war meeting.

What? The opening day is the day after tomorrow?

No! The Steel Rolling Mill's trade fair work started as soon as they got off the train.

First was the atmosphere group. The six girls from the art performance team had been rehearsing since lunch. They would undertake heavy performance tasks in the next month or so.

Relevant sales personnel had also practiced sales skills and walked through the site procedures with them.

According to the layout and requirements of the exhibition stand, they had to readjust the performance plan tonight to adapt to the exhibition stand.

The explanation group, including translators, sales personnel, and technical personnel, had to go through product technology and introduction scripts again.

The publicity scripts of the explanation group were all reviewed and corrected by Li Xuewu, absolutely in line with product characteristics, and also came up with new tricks.

The negotiation group, although hardware products had to be handed over to the Hardware Commodity Export General Company, the Steel Rolling Mill could still strive for a certain right to speak.

Li Xuewu wasn't worried about the negotiation group slacking off and talking down the product price. He was afraid that they wouldn't be able to contact those foreign businessmen and hook up with them.

Li Xuewu would personally watch this work with the cadres of the sales department, striving to get the information and contact information of these foreign businessmen.

Not to mention hooking up with the other party to go to Jingcheng to talk about further cooperation, at least it had to ensure long-term commercial communication and contact.

Just like the 17th Factory, its status was high and its influence was great. Except for participating in the first session, they weren't willing to come to this kind of trade fair. Foreign businessmen went directly to their factory to talk about cooperation.

Li Xuewu instigated Li Huai De to aim at the 17th Factory and use effort. When could they have this kind of treatment!

Li Huai De was afraid of comparison. He compared with Nie Chenglin before, then with Yang Fengshan later, and then even Yang Yuansong couldn't compare to him. He was a bit floating.

Wouldn't the success master find another peak for him to let him understand his insignificance!

Now he privately discussed the situation with Li Huai De, and he talked about how the 17th Factory was doing, and how the factory leaders were so awesome.

Anyway, it was to stimulate Li Huai De, how to stimulate, how to come!

The logistics group and security group were very routine, mainly doing security work. Li Xuewu didn't ask for too much, but expressed an attitude of special emphasis.

Gift distribution group—Li Xuewu paid special attention to this work and also emphasized it at the meeting.

The 100,000 red books that Shen Guodong transported onto the truck were Li Xuewu's important weapon for making things happen. That wasn't a simple red book; that was an amulet, that was the general trend, justice, and great ideals.

You guys are awesome just by selling products?

Look at us, selling feelings! Selling thoughts, selling great harmony in the world!

Red books, notebooks, small ornaments, small samples, each carried the Steel Rolling Mill's logo and attached publicity color pages.

With the current printing means, Li Xuewu had done his best. Anyway, it wasn't as good as the advertising pages of later generations, but it was no problem to roll the peers of now.

Can roll them to death!

The publicity pages of Hong Kong were advanced enough, but they still looked earthy. The accordion publicity pages designed by Li Xuewu could hang and beat everything.

Do you think these small gifts and small samples were waiting to be distributed on the opening day of the 15th?

Of course not!

How could Li Xuewu wait until the day after tomorrow to make things happen!

"Tomorrow! Publicity group and gift group, as well as other personnel without tasks, all participate in the action!"

"Target locations: Yangcheng Hotel, Overseas Chinese Building, Southern Building, Xinhua Guesthouse, Xinya Guesthouse, Peace Hotel, Dongya Guesthouse!"

"Target people: those with obvious foreign characteristics, those accompanied by foreign affairs cadres, including foreign affairs cadres!"

Li Xuewu raised the red book in his hand and shouted: "Remember! You are going to publicize this great red book!"

"Free! Remember! It's free for foreign businessmen!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "As a state of etiquette, a great country with treasures and heaven, we have the responsibility and obligation to popularize our advanced ideas to them!"

"As a symbol of equality, mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence, you must take the initiative to give small gifts such as nail clippers and badges."

"Of course, it also includes exquisite postcards."

Li Xuewu put down the red book, raised the folded page in his hand and said: "Must emphasize, this is a postcard, a postcard publicizing the various rich products of the beautiful Jingcheng!"

"Leader."

Someone shouted with a smile: "Your idea is really great!"

He raised the publicity page in his hand and said: "This doesn't just have the products of our factory, but also various landscapes."

"Stop flattering first, wait until I finish talking!"

Li Xuewu scolded with a smile, gestured to the publicity page in his hand and said: "The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Joint Tertiary Industry Factory, Steel City Steelmaking Factory, Yingcheng Shipyard, etc., on this, you all know what's going on, right?!"

"Understand!!!"

Everyone wasn't a fool. They knew Li Xuewu wanted to treat outsiders as fools, so they were all happy.

What is more fulfilling and happier than deceiving people in this world?

That is only fishing!

(Fish: I thank you~)

Li Xuewu was fishing. These baits could be considered quite valuable.

Casting a wide net, catching many fish, and choosing the best to follow.

With so many small gifts and so much manpower sprinkled down, Li Xuewu didn't believe he couldn't explode big fish the day after tomorrow!

Also, the addresses mentioned above were all places where foreign businessmen came to participate in activities. As long as they squatted, and sprinkled the first handful, there would be fish coming to bite the bait themselves.

Ten foreign businessmen, if one could come, it wouldn't be in vain. If one of these ten foreign businessmen could sign a contract, the capital would be returned.

This wasn't a one-off deal. Li Xuewu and Li Huai De had already discussed it. Pit... no, cooperation had to pay attention to long-term flow and win-win cooperation.

They weren't raw material exports. Processing enterprises only had less profit, absolutely no more loss.

At the end of the meeting, Li Xuewu also encouraged everyone: "Believe in yourself, love to fight to win!"

"When did you come?"

As soon as Li Xuewu returned to the room, he saw Zhang Songying sitting on the sofa looking at documents.

While unbuttoning his short-sleeved shirt, he walked toward the bathroom.

Zhang Songying stood up, responded to Li Xuewu's words, and followed him here.

"Everything arranged properly?"

"Hmm, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease."

Li Xuewu took off his sweat-smelling clothes and took a cold shower with the shower head.

How to describe the weather in Yangcheng? It was considered comfortable at night, but only if there was wind.

Basically, it was twenty-something degrees, and it could reach thirty-something degrees during the day.

Today, from getting off the train, he didn't stand still. Li Xuewu felt tired even with his physical strength. You can imagine how busy he was.

Don't think that meetings are easy. Actually, meetings are the most tiring, especially work meetings that require speaking.

Not the kind where you sit in front and talk nonsense, but a real business meeting. Those who understand, understand.

Don't look at this hotel with a soil-like name like Tire Factory Second Guesthouse, but do you believe there is air conditioning here!

Of course, it was impossible to turn on the air conditioning at this time. Here you could see the sea, which meant there was sea breeze blowing in.

But to say this is the sea, actually Li Xuewu knew that this was a river, just closer to the sea.

The river surface was very wide, and there was a beach by the river. If you didn't look far, you could treat it as the sea in your heart.

It was called sea breeze because Li Xuewu could smell the salty taste in the wind. In Yangcheng now, there was no urban building group, and the sea taste could still drift in.

Later generations?

Seafood taste is about the same!

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu with some heartache. After he finished washing, she pushed him to lie on the bed and massaged him with her familiar strength.

"You didn't go out to look around?"

"What do you mean, it's hot as death."

Zhang Songying rode on Li Xuewu's buttocks, pressing with the strength she was familiar with.

"They said they wanted to go out to play, but the logistics cadres and security side persuaded them, saying that it's not safe in the city now, and there are little bastards making trouble."

"Hmm, this is a fact."

Li Xuewu explained in a muffled voice: "We had already made a scene before we came, and it was quite serious."

This kind of situation problem, Li Huai De and Li Xuewu, as factory leaders, naturally had to pay attention.

Why did Li Huai De choose this time point, and even didn't hesitate to almost miss the time, without arranging gaps.

The Yangcheng Export Commodity Trade Fair was no longer the first session.

Twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn.

And when preparing for the autumn exhibition work this year, it happened to catch up with the rise of the so-called "finding the Fourth Uncle" in the university learning activity.

At that time, many Eastern Wind factions gathered in Yangcheng and said they were going to the Yangcheng Export Trade Fair to find the Fourth Uncle.

The trade fair was an economic and trade activity carried out under the concern and influence of Mr. Z. The person in charge here couldn't handle the little bastards, so they reported the matter up.

After Mr. Z got the news, he issued instructions and posted a notice in front of the exhibition hall, requiring the normal progress of the export commodity trade fair and not allowing them to go inside to find the Fourth Uncle.

While posting the notice, Mr. Z also sent the first session, that is, the initiator Mr. L who first proposed to prepare for the trade fair, and others to Yangcheng to do work for those little bastards and the Eastern Wind faction.

It was also after long negotiations that the other party's action to find the Fourth Uncle was stopped.

This is also why Li Xuewu found that the later time had to accept the visit requirements of the little bastards when he got the exhibition materials.

A "finding the Fourth Uncle" almost made the Yangcheng Trade Fair, which had a considerable impact on domestic export trade, unable to open.

You can imagine how much influence the little bastards have now, and how severe the situation is now.

Now look at the red book that Li Xuewu doesn't leave his hand, and the things he asked the publicity group to do—how prominent they are.

Let's put it this way: 1/3 of the country's export trade now depends on the Yangcheng Trade Fair. It is an important position for our foreign exchange income source.

Mr. Z also had no way. This firefighter is not easy to be!

He sent out words that traditional handicrafts cannot be called Fourth Uncle products, stone seals for export are waste utilization, and old antiques can be sold.

Foreigners appreciate these, and we can also exchange them for foreign exchange.

It was just a few days before Li Xuewu and the others set off that this storm was handled properly.

Li Xuewu naturally understood these contents through Li Huai De's relationship. Listening to the cadres responsible for organization, everyone was panicked and scared out of their wits.

The Yangcheng Export Commodity Trade Fair was preserved at the last moment, and this also became one of the few "cat eyes" on the closed door.

The content Li Xuewu explained to Zhang Songying was naturally the essence he judged and refined, but it still gave her a shock when she heard it.

This kind of danger in the situation is something ordinary people cannot predict. By the time they really need to experience and understand, they have already been wrapped by the general trend and running forward.

Even if there is an abyss in front, there is no chance to brake or avoid it.

Why does Li Xuewu work hard to move forward? He just wants to see the scenery in front and doesn't want to be a "blind man" anymore.

You see Li Xuewu is hardworking, arranging and making things happen. Actually, the relevant personnel responsible for foreign affairs docking work are not easy either.

During the preparation period of the Yangcheng Trade Fair, the staff participating in the exhibition must move into the corresponding guesthouse more than half a month before the opening.

They study the latest document instructions, foreign affairs reports, etc., in closed-off learning every day.

Until after the trade fair opens, they participate in the meeting during the day and continue to complete relevant political learning at night.

When Li Xuewu came back in the afternoon, he stepped on the spot at the door of several guesthouses.

During the trade fair, the security work here is very strict. According to what he learned, foreign businessmen can only move within the urban area of Yangcheng.

If you want to leave Yangcheng, you must go to the relevant department to handle the pass.

Speaking of which, it may be very familiar. If you look at the neighbor across the Yalu River in later generations, you will feel that the foreign affairs work now is also like this.

Sometimes exhibition hall staff will accompany guests to go out, guarding against them taking photos that damage the image.

Don't feel that this kind of thing is nothing, and don't look at this problem with an inferior heart. Backward development is not a human reason, but a historical reason.

Being able to make foreign businessmen flock to it shows that domestic economy and trade have something to learn from.

It is very difficult when learning to walk. We have just stood up with our backs straight, everything is waiting to be done, and there are many things that need to be done.

When Li Xuewu talked about the situation to Zhang Songying, he emphasized this point. Development is an eternal theme, but how to develop and what the development goal is needs to be clarified.

Participating units are not easy, staff are not easy, actually foreign businessmen who come from afar are not easy either.

They need to come to Yangcheng to report at least a week in advance, and they pass through customs from Hong Kong.

Why a week in advance?

Because if foreign businessmen want to participate in the trade fair, they must first accept about a week of political education.

There are also requirements for clothing, just like when you go to eat Western food, the restaurant also requires you to be dressed appropriately.

During the exhibition, foreign businessmen must wear Zhongshan suits. Li Xuewu guessed that it might be to give them a sense of submission, which makes it easier for negotiations.

Of course, this kind of rule is superficial work in Li Xuewu's view, but some purchasing businessmen are still worried about being pointed out as capitalists.

What to do then?

Li Xuewu met several foreigners in front of the guesthouse. These people were all holding red books in their hands.

Whenever they met an inspection, or had difficulties, they would recite the sentence records.

Don't listen carefully to what they are reading. Scattering Chinese to read sentence records is a worse thing than singing out of tune.

Li Xuewu asked the doorman to sweep, actually there are smart people.

Many main persons in charge of Hong Kong business firms heard that there was this program this year, and they were afraid.

What to do then?

Otherwise, why does Li Xuewu say southerners are smart? People send deputies or workers to participate in the study meeting at the opening.

They themselves will come to Yangcheng after the trade fair opens. In this way, eighty percent, maybe, possibly, they will perfectly hide.

Li Xuewu lay on the bed enjoying the Jing-style massage, flipping through the trade fair materials, and could only say that these people thought blindly.

You can hide from the first day of the lunar month, can you hide from the fifteenth day?

You don't learn before the meeting, do you participate in the meeting negotiation?

The materials in Li Xuewu's hands clearly require that before purchasing negotiations, exhibition hall staff and foreign businessman customers must first recite a sentence record.

You say the person who designed this program is not great!

If you don't learn the sentence record, you can't talk about business.

Li Xuewu told this thing to Zhang Songying, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

"Why?"

Zhang Songying lay on Li Xuewu's neck and looked at the document along his shoulder and asked: "Why arrange it like this?"

"This is called a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

Li Xuewu turned over suddenly, facing Zhang Songying and explained: "The ideals and development direction we represent are inevitably advanced, so facing trading partners in backward areas, we naturally have to take the initiative to help them correct their ideological mistakes."

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu in surprise, looking at the smile on his face, and then she reacted that he was teasing her.

"I just said it!"

"But this is 'fact'!"

Li Xuewu turned his face to the side, and his gaze emphasized to her with meaning: "Your thoughts must not slide down~"

"Go to yours~"

Zhang Songying patted his bad hand with amusement, but couldn't bear to really pat it off, as if she deliberately indulged him.

"My thoughts have never been on the slope, how can I slide down?!"

"I don't understand what you said!"

She lowered her body and looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said: "Anyway, you let me sit, and I will do it."

"Then you get up first!"

"Ah~"

Zhang Songying being able to get Li Xuewu's key naturally meant she got Li Xuewu's permission.

Of course, this was also because Lou Jie had already left and went to the Yangcheng Hotel to find Lou Yu who lived there.

The time for docking work was very tight, so naturally, it couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.

Lou Jie had many words to say to her father, and Lou Yu also had many things to explain to his daughter.

Li Xuewu generously arranged for the father and daughter to do the handover without him present.

Don't suspect the person you use, don't use the person you suspect.

If he was really worried about Lou Jie having problems, he wouldn't have spent so much effort.

"The one I met on the train is..."

"Hmm? Oh~"

Cutting the knife breaks the water, the water flows more, raising the cup of warm water, when will it rest.

His combat power and secret of winning all depend on this cup of warm water.

During the halftime break, Zhang Songying asked this somewhat over-the-line question.

Li Xuewu also listened seriously and answered seriously: "That is my cousin."

"..."

Zhang Songying only felt that this answer was more chaotic and absurd than her being in Li Xuewu's room at this moment.

This bad person is just like this, always talking nonsense with a straight face.

Although she didn't know the spatial layout of the leader's soft bag, she had never heard of bringing a cousin on a business trip.

She didn't see Li Xuewu when boarding the train, but she saw Li Xuewu sending a woman on the train to leave when getting off the train.

Lou Yu arranged for the hotel's car to pick up Lou Jie, and some people saw it, including Zhang Songying.

Asking it out today was also a manifestation of her grievance in her heart.

She was asked to accompany him on a business trip, but he didn't see her on the way. She also thought Li Xuewu was afraid of bad influence.

Didn't expect the other party to "hide beauty in a golden house," and her consideration for him became a joke.

But she had no reason to question Li Xuewu. Whatever Li Xuewu answered her was what it was.

Looking at the lonely Zhang Songying, Li Xuewu explained seriously: "She has a special identity and needs to take a special channel. This time she came to handle things, it has nothing to do with us."

"Is that so~"

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu blankly, didn't react to the specific meaning of Li Xuewu's words, just didn't understand but felt it was great.

In this era, as long as it involves special, it is nothing more than those few types of people.

She couldn't guess what the woman was doing from Li Xuewu's words and expressions, as if it was really extraordinary.

Li Xuewu put down the water cup, stood by the bed and nodded, sighed, and said: "Cousin, she will be hard to see again after this departure."

"Ah? Not going back?"

Zhang Songying was bluffed by Li Xuewu. The more he said this, the more she thought in that direction.

Where is this?

This is Yangcheng. Outside the city is the pass. Past it is the capitalist hell of water and fire. Parting for years, isn't it talking about people from the Investigation Department?

"Hmm, not going back."

Li Xuewu "looked directly" at Zhang Songying and said seriously: "She can't stay in Yangcheng for a few days either. I can't tell you more, it violates discipline."

"Fine, fine, fine, don't say it anymore~"

Zhang Songying apologized repeatedly, expressing that she said the wrong thing and added trouble to Li Xuewu.

Afterward, she also found Li Xuewu's direct look, leaned over and bit it, vaguely expressing that she would never ask again.

Women are all coaxed~

They don't necessarily want to know what you did or what you are preparing to do; they just want to know if you care about them.

Li Xuewu risked the "danger" of violating discipline to explain the cousin's identity to her, which already expressed his importance to her.

Think about it, if Li Xuewu didn't value her, why would he tell her these things? This is fully trusting her!

Zhang Songying is very regretful now. Li Xuewu trusts her so much, but she is a bit talkative. She should give him more tolerance.

What bad intentions can Li Xuewu have? Eating and drinking for free, if you don't even want to pay the energy to coax women to be happy, which woman is willing to be with you.

You say Zhang Songying is stupid?

Can a fool develop into a good relationship after sharing weal and woe through sisterly love?

Can a fool balance reality and obsession, and walk to today's management position through special relationships?

Can a fool accompany Li Xuewu and live through a summer?

You understand my hesitation, I understand your cover-up.

She doesn't care who the woman on the train is. Anyway, it's not someone from the Steel Rolling Mill, so it's not on the same track as her.

The women in the factory are the ones she needs to be vigilant about, such as the girl in the cultural propaganda team, such as the bitch in the broadcasting station...

Isn't Qin Huairu beside her her competitor?

Of course not, that's a sister!

Qin Huairu contacted Li Xuewu earlier than her, and her progress was more prominent than hers.

But judging from Qin Huairu's performance and the family conditions she carries behind her, not to mention the future, just now, the two have already drifted away.

It's not that Li Xuewu is heartless, nor is it that Qin Huairu has turned over a new leaf, but as time goes by, Li Xuewu goes further and further, and Qin Huairu can only stand still.

Some people say the best attachment is watching him grow slowly, growing into a towering tree, shielding her from wind and rain.

But this tree doesn't belong to them, so the big tree is growing, and they are still that little grass.

The higher Li Xuewu walks, the more pressure Qin Huairu has when she is with him, and at the same time facing the left and right of the family, she pays more and more attention to the influence between the two.

It was originally a dew-like relationship. With pressure and no stimulation, what's the point of being together?

It's better to leave the most beautiful memories, let the years accumulate, maybe at some moment both want to recall the past and experience the stimulation of endurance.

So now Qin Huairu is collecting the work of the guesthouse instead, and no longer has too much contact with Li Xuewu.

Zhang Songying is different. Li Xuewu has already told her the next arrangement, and she has to pick the big beam for Li Xuewu.

The Six-Nation Hotel is still entertaining progressive teachers and students from other places, but one day these people will leave.

According to the situation Li Xuewu explained to her, coming to Yangcheng this time, she needs to learn the advanced experience of major hotels, and then she will be the general manager of the Six-Nation Hotel.

The purpose of the leaders wanting to set up a foreign reception hotel in the city is not clear to her, but she can see that the future of the Six-Nation Hotel will be more brilliant than the guesthouse in the factory.

From the identity of the guests received, one can see the difference. The guesthouse serves the workers of the Steel Rolling Mill, and outsiders who spend money to stay have to buy tickets through workers.

And the Six-Nation Hotel is external. Although it is a kind of external with bias and restrictions, it is actually multi-business.

Accommodation, catering, meetings, Western food, coffee, shopping, entertainment, agency, etc.

Conversely, the guesthouse, although it has already operated many, many items, is all based on the existing resources of the Steel Rolling Mill, and the primary goal of service is also factory workers.

Don't think that the wind is blowing in this era, so there are no foreign things.

The most representative coffee, Li Xuewu once brought her a can to let her taste.

Zhang Songying is a woman in this era who is interested in new things but is willing to try boldly.

From the cosmetics in her makeup bag, it can be seen that she will not look at this kind of thing differently.

Just because Li Xuewu gave it, she had also heard the name of this drink. It was a foreign product pursued by fashionable women and progressive youth. She didn't have the conditions to taste it before, but now she wants to satisfy her addiction?

How to say, it's not right to say it's as bitter as Chinese medicine like others said, and it hasn't reached the point of being as difficult to drink as medicine.

Of course, she hasn't reached that realm of endless aftertaste mentioned in the book.

She listened to Li Xuewu's suggestion, adding sugar, milk, and various sweeteners to the coffee.

Don't say, this kind of attempt, although some failed, some test tastes were really quite good.

What Li Xuewu gave her was the canned coffee produced by the Modu Coffee Factory, whose predecessor was the old brand Desheng Coffee Shop in Modu.

In 1959, Desheng was taken over for operation and renamed Modu Coffee Factory.

This iron-canned Modu coffee became the only brand that could be seen in the country before opening up.

Restaurants, high-

This type of canned Shanghai coffee became the only brand visible in the country before the opening up.

All restaurants, high-end hotels, or well-known domestic cafes used coffee from the Shanghai Coffee Factory.

The preparation method was very simple: wrap the coffee powder in gauze, put it in a pot to boil, and for those who were particular, filter it once through filter paper.

It sounds simple, but it was not cheap, costing 3 yuan and 5 jiao per can!

In the eyes of urban office workers at the time, whose average monthly wage was only a few dozen yuan, this was a noble luxury item.

Even to a sophisticated woman Li Kezhang Songying, who lived a lavish life, this stuff was a form of extravagant and wasteful living; one can imagine that coffee culture was no longer quite so dazzling.

However, in the eyes of the capital's "wan zhu" (playboys) and veterans, including the mainstream "little brats" of today, going to a high-end hotel for a cup of coffee after playing around with their respective female companions was also an indispensable pleasure.

There were only a few places where one could drink coffee, with the furthest one being all the way at the zoo.

And coffee had become the most representative symbol of a comprehensive international hotel.

Yes, Li Huai De's ambitions were high and far-reaching; he felt that the history of the Six Nations Hotel was very special, and being located in Dongjiaomin Lane, it should have such foreign novelties.

He even wanted to change the name of the Six Nations Hotel to the International Hotel.

Of course, calling it the Six Nations Hotel now was not contradictory, because the Steel Rolling Factory had bought this building with its humiliating history, renovated it, and provided it free of charge for progressive teachers and students to live in and conduct research and criticism.

What was being criticized was the architecture, the history, and the deeper-level ideology; it had nothing to do with the Steel Rolling Factory.

But once it began normal operations in the future, it could no longer be called by that name, or it would be torn to shreds by public opinion.

Running a hotel was for making money, but also for uniting all forces that could be united.

You can doubt Li Huai De's business ability, but do not doubt his vision and thinking.

Accommodation and dining were just basic services; meetings were administrative services to elevate the hotel's prestige; Western food, coffee, and shopping were to saturate operations and ensure self-sufficiency.

What would he do with the money earned?

Entertainment, of course; as long as there is something fun (third tone), there will be people who know how to play (fourth tone).

If he could use these novelties to help him establish certain connections, or even expand existing ones, he would have hit the jackpot.

If things really went as Li Xuewu had planned, and he got the agency services up and running, then he would be only a step away from becoming a group leader.

To put it bluntly, it was all business, all transactions.

Zhang Songying used her sincerity and ability to gain Li Xuewu's support and care, and she would inevitably have to give back what he wanted.

The Six Nations Hotel needed to be trendy to satisfy the pursuits of the "little brats," gathering them in the outer layer to serve as a protective color.

It also needed to have character to satisfy the pursuits of the dignitaries, gathering them in the inner layer to serve as support points.

And it needed to have ideology to satisfy the requirements of the leadership, serving them well to become a core guide.

Why had Zhang Songying traveled thousands of miles to Yangcheng? It wasn't to bring warmth to Li Xuewu; she had to learn.

So, early in the morning, while everyone else was still asleep, she had already returned to her room to prepare for the day's itinerary.

Unlike the exhibition team's mission, she didn't have to follow their rhythm; she had logistics office staff following her movements.

Li Xuewu didn't run into her while eating breakfast, but thinking that everyone's tasks were very tight, he didn't pay it any mind.

The exhibition hall wasn't ready yet, and the engineering team had to continue today; except for those with propaganda tasks, everyone else went to help.

Li Huai De had returned very late last night and hadn't gotten up this morning.

Xiang Jingyu Nong was the same, perhaps due to not being accustomed to the local environment, so Li Xuewu didn't wait for them.

Two trucks loaded with propaganda materials sent these people to the vicinity of the designated foreign guest hotels in small groups.

Li Xuewu also wore a standard green uniform, disguised as a "little brat," holding a red book in his hand and carrying a green satchel, following behind the others as they charged into the hotel area.

It was absurd to say, but Li Xuewu understood clearly from the materials that the security at foreign guest hotels was very strict.

After getting off the truck and bringing the propaganda group over, he felt it too.

However, when those guards saw the attire of Li Xuewu and his group, as well as the red books in their hands, they all looked as if their hands and feet had been tied.

It wasn't that no one told them to leave, but Li Xuewu didn't take it to heart. Among the young people he had arranged, there were students from Huaqing University who didn't even spare the guards a glance and went straight into the hotel lobby.

You tell me, weren't those guards frustrated?

They were practically bursting with frustration!

But if you asked them if they dared to reach out and stop them!

Even if you gave them two sets of guts, they wouldn't dare to stop them, fearing they might trigger the kind of conflict that happened a while ago.

The propaganda groups were configured as three-person teams consisting of one translator, one propaganda member, and one gift member.

With a clear division of labor and a small profile, they absolutely wouldn't trigger strong vigilance from the guards.

As long as these "little brats" didn't cause trouble, the guards were very clear that they wouldn't do anything outrageous to foreign guests.

Why?

Because there were very few "little brats" who came here, and people at this time were not very friendly toward foreigners.

No one was willing to talk to them, and the looks they gave them were like they were looking at monsters.

Even in later generations, when foreigners came to some small cities, people's gazes were still very strange.

Especially with the current rules; when they entered the country, they had already been told that they couldn't hire their own translators and must use the translators hired by the exhibiting unit when discussing business.

Most foreign businessmen didn't speak Chinese and couldn't communicate with everyone, creating a natural barrier, so they were naturally treated as outsiders.

Fearing a lack of communication, the propaganda group brought their own translators.

Since you don't speak Chinese, I speak English; I'll give you some little trinkets so you can learn a thing or two!

When Li Xuewu and his group entered the hotel, they were watched by someone; he guessed it might be staff from the foreign affairs department, or perhaps from the investigation department or the security department.

Faced with their inquiries, these people chose to watch coldly and refused to tell them which floor the foreign businessmen were staying on.

"Just because you won't say it, you think I won't know?!"

Li Xuewu was also a troublemaker; imitating a passionate youth with a head full of ideals, he waved the red book in his hand and said, "We'll knock on doors floor by floor; I don't believe we won't find the foreign businessmen!"

"Which organization are you from?"

Finally, someone spoke up, but the tone wasn't very good. A middle-aged cadre stepped out and looked at Li Xuewu with a sinister gaze.

Li Xuewu, however, didn't fear him; he tilted his neck and said, "From the Third Middle School Red Generation, so what?!"

"You want to chat with me?!"

Li Xuewu was rotten to the core; imitating the arrogance and domineering nature of those "little brats" in the capital, he pointed his finger at the other person's chest and asked, "Give me a smile! Is this how you serve the people?!"

"SMILE!!!"

His loud shout not only startled the few cadres in front of him but also gave the members of the propaganda group behind him a fright.

They had never seen Deputy Group Leader Li act so arrogantly; if it weren't for his mature temperament, they really wouldn't have been able to take him as a leader.

Now that Deputy Group Leader Li had put on the face of a young man, it really made their eyeballs want to shatter.

Who could have imagined that Li Xuewu would dare to point at a leader's chest and tell him to smile?

How could they possibly smile!

The other side really couldn't figure out the background of Li Xuewu's group; it was just that there were too many "little brats" in Yangcheng at this time, and it was too chaotic, so no one dared to say that Li Xuewu and his group were fake.

"What are you trying to do?!"

The middle-aged cadre suppressed his anger, tried hard to maintain a stable mood, blocked the front desk, looked at Li Xuewu, and said, "Instructions have already come down from above: do not disturb foreign businessmen, and do not affect the trade fair."

"Are you teaching me how to do my job?!"

Li Xuewu maintained his consistent arrogance, pointed at the other person with the hand holding the red book, and said, "We are here to spread advanced spiritual civilization!"

"What?!"

The middle-aged cadre seemed to have had an illusion; he hadn't reacted to what these "middle-school-aged" youths were trying to do.

Li Xuewu, however, raised his eyebrows and said impressively, "God, do you know him?"

After saying this, ignoring the middle-aged cadre's frown, he pointed to the top of his head and continued, "That is the gospel that foreigners believe in."

"This!"

Li Xuewu patted the red book in his hand, stared with wide eyes, and said, "Today, I have brought them a different kind of gospel, to tell them how they should view the world!"

"And let them know what is called advanced spiritual civilization!"

"..."

The middle-aged cadre was somewhat speechless; he finally understood the young man's words and figured out what the other party was trying to do.

This was clearly here to pick a fight!

The higher-ups didn't want these "little brats" to disturb foreign businessmen, but they couldn't stop them from wanting to compete with them.

The point was, these "little brats" weren't even coming for the foreign businessmen, but for the other side's God!

God's gospel vs. the spiritual civilization of the red book?
