Chapter 880: Not a good person

"Red Star certainly cannot be used anymore."

Ai Jiaqing spoke frankly: "This brand of liquor is for export; we still need to avoid such controversial factors and influences."

"As for the mainland, I think we can continue to use the Five-Star brand, or change it directly to Flying Fairy."

"Why not innovate directly?"

Li Xuewu tapped the table and suggested: "Since it's a new distillery, I don't think we should give people the feeling of 'new bottle, old wine'."

"How to innovate?"

As the meeting continued in the afternoon, Ai Jiaqing's tense nerves eased somewhat, and she tried to accommodate Li Xuewu's wild imagination.

"Create a new brand? Then what does it have to do with Moutai? Can the market accept it?"

"Of course, it still has to have the word 'Moutai'!"

Li Xuewu looked at Ai Jiaqing and said: "They can call it Flying Fairy Moutai, can I call mine Universe Moutai?"

"Heh~ Yes, you can!"

Ai Jiaqing understood Li Xuewu's meaning; this was a case of wanting to be a whore while still wanting to set up a memorial arch for chastity.

Learning Moutai's techniques, poaching Moutai's people, and then turning around to explicitly state that Beijing Moutai has no relation whatsoever to Renhuai Moutai.

Like cousins from the same village, each minding their own business!

Looking at Li Xuewu's shameless appearance, Ai Jiaqing said irritably: "Why don't you call it Ascension Moutai? Drink it and everyone ascends to heaven!"

"Hey!!!"

Li Xuewu, hearing Ai Jiaqing say this, "slapped" the table and pointed at her, saying: "Then let's call it Celestial Fairy Moutai! A fairy flying from beyond the heavens—drink it and become an immortal!"

"..."

Damn! The gentleman is a great talent!

The negotiation team from the Wufeng Hong business group who came with Ai Jiaqing were all stunned.

The mocking smiles that had just appeared on their faces instantly froze, as if struck in a vital point by Li Xuewu's "fairy flying from beyond the heavens" move.

Celestial Fairy Moutai... A fairy flying from beyond the heavens!

What a good name!

The advertising slogan is already thought out: Drink it and become an immortal!

Everyone stared blankly at Li Xuewu, including Ai Jiaqing; they really couldn't imagine how this person's thinking could be so... unconventional and wild.

The key is, the name he pointed out really made it hard for people to refute.

It really is a good name!

"Then..."

Ai Jiaqing turned her head to look at her colleagues beside her, and seeing that they also had expressions of full agreement, she tentatively asked: "Then let's call it Celestial Fairy Moutai?"

"I agree!"

"I approve!"

For the first time in the conference room, there was a scene of unified opinion; as if tired of disputes and endless discussions, everyone applauded one after another.

Ai Jiaqing looked at Li Xuewu, also revealing a smile that was both amused and satisfied.

"Li Chu is a move ahead, with natural wisdom."

"Not at all, not at all."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, and amidst the applause of the crowd, he looked at Ai Jiaqing and said: "It was General Manager Ai who brought it up effortlessly; the credit for the guidance is yours."

Ai Jiaqing showed an expression of disdain for fighting over credit, instructed her colleagues on the preparatory work after the brand was determined, and then turned back to Li Xuewu: "The export brand is determined, what about the domestic one?"

Since the export brand won't use Flying Fairy, the domestic one certainly won't use Five-Star either.

Li Xuewu's persistence in controlling the factory brand and product brand puzzled Ai Jiaqing; she didn't know how Li Xuewu saw the importance of brand to product value.

From the very beginning, Li Xuewu never thought about letting the brand detach from the factory brand, and even split clearly from the original Moutai factory in the early stages of the factory's investment and construction.

He is him, I am me, each with their own setup.

Ai Jiaqing originally wanted to persuade Li Xuewu to borrow the Moutai factory's name; it wasn't that she couldn't coordinate this matter.

But she didn't expect Li Xuewu to insist on not using this trick, but instead firmly stand on his own.

Celestial Fairy Moutai and Flying Fairy Moutai were two different things from the start; every decision revealed Li Xuewu's firm confidence and forward-looking vision.

To say he was self-taught, Ai Jiaqing wouldn't believe it even if she died; she could only consider that he had other channels to learn this trivia.

But why would a proper cadre in Beijing learn this messy, useless knowledge!

Speaking of which, Ai Jiaqing really regretted arranging to negotiate with Li Xuewu today; if she had negotiated with Li Chu of the Rolling Mill, she believed it would have been finished long ago.

Of course, she was also wishful thinking.

Could Li Huai De not know his own worth?

He would rather believe in Li Xuewu than believe in himself!

His affirmation of Li Xuewu's business ability was even greater than his affirmation of his own organizational ability.

Want to negotiate with me?!

Get past Li Xuewu's hurdle first!

If you can fool that monkey Li Xuewu, I'll choose to kneel and surrender directly!!!

"The domestic one is simple~"

Li Xuewu smiled, reached out and patted the file cover beside him, which had the proper Red Star Rolling Mill logo on it.

"Red Star?"

Ai Jiaqing felt that she still overestimated the moral standard of the guy in front of her.

"They call it Five-Star Moutai, you call it Red Star Moutai?"

"Why? Is it not allowed?"

Li Xuewu said arrogantly: "Our Red Star Rolling Mill is righteous and upright; why can't the Moutai liquor we produce ourselves be called Red Star brand?"

"You're still justified~!"

Ai Jiaqing looked at Li Xuewu with amusement and irritation, but didn't speak out to oppose his words.

Fine! If he says call it Red Star, then call it Red Star; calling it Red Star is better than calling it other names.

Red Star and Five-Star are very close, and also very easily accepted by domestic purchasing power.

The emphasis is nothing more than the different production locations; one in the south, one in the north.

Northerners drink Red Star Moutai, the taste is more authentic, genuine, the taste of home~!

With the domestic and export issues resolved, the afternoon's negotiations truly entered the fast lane.

Of course, a distillery won't have only one type of liquor, nor only one brand.

The temporarily named Red Star Wufeng Distillery will invest in the construction of production lines for white liquor, red wine, and fruit wine according to time and plan.

Of course, the main brand will still be Moutai white liquor, with other liquors as supplements.

The Rolling Mill has trade convenience in the frontier, so wine and other fruit wines are naturally not restricted by raw materials.

And in Hong Kong, the consumption power for red wine and fruit wine is higher than white liquor, so naturally, it's a business Wufeng Hong cannot let go of.

They chose to cooperate with the Rolling Mill, isn't it just because of this point.

Li Xuewu even mentioned the field of medicinal liquor, which is not a very fresh area, during the negotiations.

Whether in the country or in Hong Kong, medicinal liquor is not a fresh thing.

But Li Xuewu gave Ai Jiaqing an unexpected idea about truly proposing commercialization, and high-end brand operation.

Drinking is actually the same as smoking; everyone clearly knows it's a bad habit that hurts the body, but they still smoke and drink.

Even after that, they eat and supplement wildly to satisfy this bad habit.

If there is a kind of liquor that perfectly combines medicinal supplements with liquor, psychologically turning a bad habit into a great supplement, do you think customers will like it?

Ai Jiaqing didn't know, but Li Xuewu knew.

Ginseng liquor, goji berry liquor, Red-Haired medicinal liquor, cordyceps cigarettes...

This is like burning newspapers at a grave—fooling ghosts!

But it just happens to be accepted by the masses.

Otherwise, how did health products develop?

A pair of tiger bones can make ten years of medicinal plaster, and after ten years there is still more than half left; Li Shun was shocked when he heard it!

Li Xuewu has a family tradition!

A proper family of traditional Chinese medicine; although he doesn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, it doesn't hinder him from understanding this kind of thing.

Of course, if you say the medicinal liquor sold is all like the kind his father Li Shun made himself, I'm afraid all the tigers in the world would be in trouble, entering the ranks of protected animals decades early.

Medicinal efficacy also has money levels; Li Xuewu wouldn't plan to make a business out of a pair of tiger bones for half a lifetime.

But he also didn't think about letting everyone buy it home for one or two yuan and have an "immediate" effect.

It's okay for entertainment, but you still have to exercise more in daily life!

Returning to the topic of medicinal liquor, shouldn't it be mixed with some high technology, such as extraction technology or something.

Anyway, the kind of category Li Xuewu mentioned is something the country can't afford to consume; if foreigners drink it, Li Xuewu doesn't care!

The atmosphere of the discussion meeting, after Li Xuewu proposed the big bluff brand of medicinal liquor, strangely entered the next stage.

Multi-functional food processing plant!

This scope of technical food processing full of technology and ruthless moves.

Because it is a full OEM business, the investment and construction plan made by the Rolling Mill is the infrastructure part, mainly listening to the specific requirements of Wufeng Hong.

Business representative Ling Feng gave everyone present an introduction to the food processing industry; although Li Xuewu had understood it in advance, it was still an eye-opener.

Food processing can be divided into different types such as physical processing, chemical processing, and microbial processing.

These processing methods can not only change the taste and edible value of food, but also extend the shelf life, and may have an impact on the nutritional value of food.

It is emphasized here that it may have an impact on the nutritional value of food; as for whether it is positive or negative, it remains to be studied.

If the economic value exceeds the negative value, the common people in Hong Kong are actually not unable to tolerate it.

You even know that spicy strips are not good things, but have fewer people eaten them?

Regardless of which processing method, its main function is secondary processing of food, or even tertiary or quaternary.

The purpose is to change the basic characteristics of food, including taste, shape characteristics, storage time, etc.

These processing activities include but are not limited to grain and feed processing, vegetable oil processing, sugar industry, slaughter and meat and egg processing, aquatic product processing, edible salt processing, and other food processing industries.

Of course, what Wufeng Hong handed over to the Rolling Mill for OEM construction is definitely not industrial waste, but excellent food to be exported as a brand.

So the products produced by the temporarily named Red Star Multi-functional Food Processing Plant are definitely positively processed.

Wufeng Hong's purpose in seeking cooperation with food processing plants in the mainland is to transform low-priced basic raw materials into high-value products, and ensure food safety and extend shelf life.

The marketing disadvantages of exporting live pigs, live cattle, live poultry, and grains directly have gradually appeared; profits are low, costs are high, and pressure has appeared in competition.

At the meeting, Wufeng Hong proposed OEM needs for more than twenty products for the first phase of the investment project.

Including deep processing of grains, vegetable oil processing, deep processing of meat (non-canned), deep processing of eggs, etc.

Li Xuewu took the information and checked one by one the parts that the Rolling Mill could solve, and for the parts that could not be solved and involved planned production regulations, he also gave clear requirements.

Wufeng Hong must coordinate with relevant departments to open a green light for the food factory, and cannot restrict or strangle the raw materials, otherwise the order cannot be completed.

In meat processing, poultry and egg processing, and grain processing, Li Xuewu also shared the Rolling Mill's existing frontier agricultural and pastoral resources, Jicheng mountain goods, and Steel City port trade resources with the other party.

OEM can be full raw material coverage, or it can just be pure OEM.

Wufeng Hong naturally hopes for the full coverage type, so they can directly take the products for export trade.

Of course, for things the Rolling Mill can't solve, or things that need them to coordinate, Ai Jiaqing also gave Li Xuewu a guarantee on the spot.

Wufeng Hong's business relates to the important work of foreign exchange, no one can block or suppress it, and their office staff in the mainland can be responsible for public relations business throughout the process.

In Hong Kong it's called public relations, in the mainland it's called coordination; it's the same meaning. Li Xuewu hasn't dealt with Wufeng Hong, and business cooperation hasn't started yet.

It's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises in mutual cooperation, but from the willingness to cooperate shown by Ai Jiaqing, Li Xuewu still chose to reach out and shake hands with the other party.

The first two topics of today's discussion meeting were finally successfully concluded, and next, both sides will go back to re-draft the cooperation plan.

Basically, it is to modify and organize according to the content of today's discussion meeting, and discuss it again at the next meeting.

This discussion meeting solved most of the difficulties and differences; as long as there are no accidents or new problems next time, it can basically be officially signed after three rounds.

The sooner the signing and payment, the sooner the Rolling Mill can break ground and start construction.

Of course, it's already late October, and true production will probably be this time next year at the earliest.

Not only does building a factory take time, but determining and coordinating raw material production areas also requires time to prepare.

Equipment and technology don't need much time to prepare; Wufeng Hong isn't cooperating to open a factory in the country for the first time.

After shaking hands, Ai Jiaqing officially represented Wufeng Hong to invite the Rolling Mill side, welcoming the Rolling Mill representatives to attend the reception hosted by Wufeng Hong at the Yangcheng Hotel at 7:00 PM on Sunday.

Li Xuewu didn't expect that such activities could be held during the trade fair; he was very surprised, but also very sincerely accepted the invitation, indicating that he would definitely attend.

The negotiation subject changed, and this time it was the turn of the Eastern Trade representative to sit in the position of the Wufeng Hong negotiation group just now.

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with negotiation representative Selina, then invited everyone to sit down.

The Eastern Trade agreement was easy to negotiate, mainly OEM and agency contracts, not involving investment and construction of production.

The discussion mainly included existing small commodities, small hardware, and other export-oriented products produced by the Rolling Mill.

When the negotiation just started, Selina frankly said that everyone is an acquaintance, so there is no need to treat her like she treated General Manager Ai.

Li Xuewu seemed to really cherish the fair sex, and didn't really make any special requirements for Eastern Trade.

Actually, this has nothing to do with personal feelings; Li Xuewu has no feelings for her, and the agency contract is a simple matter.

It's nothing more than the threshold set for the agency agreement; Li Xuewu doesn't need to make things difficult for himself.

After all, the major shareholder of Eastern Trade is Eastern Era Bank, and the major shareholder of Eastern Era Bank is...

Annual purchase volume exceeds 1 million yuan, the Rolling Mill charges a 100,000 yuan Hong Kong exclusive agency fee.

Annual purchase volume exceeds 3 million yuan, the Rolling Mill charges a 50,000 yuan Hong Kong exclusive agency fee.

Annual purchase volume exceeds 5 million yuan, the Rolling Mill will waive the Hong Kong exclusive agency fee.

Yes, Li Xuewu still showed a ruthless attitude at the negotiation table; it's mainly about doing work, and one must distinguish between primary and secondary.

The agency certainly won't be signed globally; this isn't letting people settle scores later.

Absolute fairness and justice are impossible, but he must make the right judgment in line with the current situation.

Agency is graded and regional; Hong Kong is definitely an inevitable choice for export, and also a golden area for agency.

According to existing export conditions, the Rolling Mill seems to have no other direction for cooperation.

Then why list Hong Kong separately instead of global agency?

Very simple, Li Xuewu doesn't believe that trade barriers cannot be opened; at least at the trade fair, Kenichi Nishida showed this intention.

It's just that the other party is playing tug-of-war, and Li Xuewu is playing fishing.

Looking at the world now, Li Xuewu presided over the signing of this agency agreement, which seems to favor his own company, but what about later?

In less than five years, when looking at the world, everyone will know how much this agreement lost; who will the eyes be focused on then?

If his ambition is not in the Rolling Mill, it's fine to say, pat his butt and leave without caring.

But this is the foundation of his planning, how could he let people say he made a wrong decision.

Li Chu must always be correct, so that the future can possibly be Deputy Factory Director Li, or even Factory Director Li, Secretary Li.

Therefore, even if Selina stared at him, he still had to strike hard when necessary.

Selina had some complaints that were hard to voice on this occasion, but she still actively cooperated with Li Xuewu to discuss the specific implementation details of the cooperation plan.

Especially in terms of customs coordination, Eastern Trade still has to rely on Wufeng Hong's help.

Li Xuewu dares to play around in Beijing, in Steel City, and within the scope he can influence, but in this professional field, he is really helpless.

The Rolling Mill wants to set up an export food factory, and Wufeng Hong is responsible for handling the certificates and procedures; letting Li Huai De coordinate, it's hard to say how many turns it would take.

Eastern Trade wants to act as an agent for the Rolling Mill's small hardware and small commodity export business; Li Xuewu is naturally willing and supportive.

But he is helpless in terms of procedures, and leads the topic to Ai Jiaqing's side.

Ai Jiaqing glanced at him and nodded in agreement to help coordinate this matter.

Why did Wufeng Hong agree to help coordinate Eastern Trade's business?

Because the products Eastern Trade acts as an agent for are not just from the Rolling Mill, there are other units, and there is business that cooperates with Wufeng Hong.

Counting the last ones to sit at the table, Dongfeng Shipping and Eastern Era Bank, five units, internal and external differences, but cooperation can basically form a main interest chain.

Eastern Trade leans against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and next, it will cooperate with Wufeng Hong to implement a series of mechanical equipment import businesses for the Rolling Mill, as well as OEM business for related industrial products and electronic products.

The business Selina is most interested in is actually furniture, solid wood furniture, combined with artistic styling, etc., which counts as high-demand goods in Hong Kong.

General Hong Kong businessmen purchase timber from Southeast Asia and process it locally, with high labor costs.

And the OEM plan given by Li Xuewu here is not perfect, and even frankly told her that this business will be outsourced by the Rolling Mill.

Selina doesn't care whether the Rolling Mill is OEM or outsourced; she only cares about the supply guarantee of the products and product quality.

Regarding these two points, Li Xuewu also gave a clear answer.

Supply is absolutely no problem; if she gives many orders, then let Shen Guodong contact more detention centers.

The Four Nine City is too big, and there are many detention centers; if it really doesn't work, go to Hebei Province to coordinate, or even go to Steel City and Jicheng to coordinate.

As long as the detention center has the heart to generate income, the recycling station dares to pass this business to the other party through Huang Gan.

Timber naturally doesn't need to be worried about; Second Uncle in Jicheng is responsible for coordination, and there is as much as you want.

The solid wood furniture Selina mentioned requires more manual skills, so in terms of free labor, Li Xuewu is an expert.

As for product quality, there is even less need to worry; he even dared to stand up and let Selina look at his clothes and pants.

That handwork! That tailoring! That skill!

Liu Guangfu dares to guarantee with his prison term that he worked very hard, just for that little bit of oil in the food, and for the fact that winter is coming and he can take a warm bath, he also dares to make this guarantee.

If they are so serious about making clothes, let alone carpenters.

Now the recycling station is only cooperating with the Xicheng Third Detention Center, mainly glass coffee tables; as long as Selina handles the procedure issues and brings out order samples, it is absolutely guaranteed in quality and quantity.

The Rolling Mill doesn't look down on the commodity orders coordinated by Eastern Trade, but the recycling station looks down on them.

After subcontracting to various detention centers, that's sitting at home and counting money.

Wen Saner sitting on the side also felt inexplicably amused; it was his own company, but it had to go through the Rolling Mill's procedure.

And Eastern Trade is Li Xuewu's, but he sat in the Rolling Mill's position.

Selina is just working for Eastern Trade, but now she has to argue with her boss and discuss more benefits.

This kind of ridiculous scene, only those who know the inside story at the scene can't help but cover their faces, really afraid of revealing the truth.

Furniture, textiles, hardware, electronics, clothing, and other projects, Selina went through the catalog one by one and talked with Li Xuewu.

Ai Jiaqing sat on the side watching the fun; the first half of today's negotiation meeting was Li Xuewu torturing her, and now it became Selina torturing Li Xuewu.

This is called "evil people have evil people to grind them"!

Selina really wanted to grind Li Xuewu; when the afternoon negotiation meeting ended, she took the initiative to invite Li Xuewu to drink coffee, wanting to talk about the 66-6 sniper rifle.

But she was rejected by Li Xuewu; it wasn't that he didn't like drinking coffee, he was in Yangcheng, and he really wanted to try "foreign" things.

Although Selina spoke fluent English, her ancestors were Russian, and the word "beauty" was engraved in her genes.

Naturally, office romances cannot happen during work, but work is over, so practicing shooting together is fine, right?

Selina invited him to test guns on the second day of the trade fair, but Li Xuewu was unwilling, mainly because he was wary of her identity.

After all, the negotiation hadn't landed yet; if a real affair occurred, things would be hard to talk about.

Now everything is settled, even if he is her hidden boss, everyone will go their separate ways in a few days, what else can happen?

Do you think Selina wants to play for real with Li Xuewu?

Of course not, she just wants to try something new.

You understand my "playing hard to get," and I understand your "pretending to be reserved."

She couldn't hold it anymore, but Li Xuewu couldn't today.

Because he had an appointment with Third Uncle to eat at home tonight.

He had been in Yangcheng for almost a week; if it weren't for the busy work of the trade fair, Li Xuewu would have visited long ago.

If it weren't for knowing Li Xuewu was busy with work, Third Uncle Li Tong would have come to see his nephew long ago.

It's Saturday, the week's work is coming to an end, Third Uncle had made an appointment with him early, and would come to pick him up today.

Sending Ai Jiaqing and her group away, enduring Lou Jie's white eyes, and then enduring Selina's suspicious eyes intentionally drifting towards him.

But he really couldn't endure Wen Saner's teasing eyes about the "shura field," and threatened silently with his mouth, "See you when we get back to Beijing!"

Wen Saner rolled his eyes, knowing that Li Xuewu only knew this one trick!

The ultimate move!

Everyone laughed and said goodbye; Li Huai De, who had returned early, happened to meet them walking out, and both sides had another round of pleasantries.

After sending away the visiting group, Li Xuewu stood in the courtyard and simply reported the main content and results of today's negotiation to Li Huai De.

Li Huai De nodded with satisfaction; although he didn't explicitly praise Li Xuewu, he emphasized again that this matter would be left to Li Xuewu to be responsible for.

He didn't know what he was busy with all day; after finishing talking with Li Xuewu, he pointed to Li Haiyang and Sha Qizhi to move things from the trunk of the Jeep.

"Some local specialties, small gifts, all sent by friends."

Li Huai De smiled and stood on the side to explain: "Aren't you going to visit your Third Uncle? Take some, they are practical and good-looking."

"How can this be done?"

Li Xuewu said embarrassedly: "These are gifts sent to you, how can I..."

"Hey!"

Li Huai De pretended to be dissatisfied and waved his hand, saying: "What's mine or yours? If you give all these things to me, can I carry them all back to Beijing!"

He raised his chin very generously and said: "Take whatever you like; you came out to do work with me, your face is my face."

"What's more, we still have a favor in it."

As he spoke, Li Huai De pointed to the Jeep and said: "Without the Jeep you coordinated, I would be embarrassed to go out; how can one go out in a truck!"

"Hi! You are too polite."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I made an appointment with my Third Uncle before I came; he also asked me if I needed to coordinate vehicles when I came here, but I didn't dare to confirm this matter."

Li Huai De thought about preparing gifts for Li Xuewu to take to Third Uncle's house; it really was a favor debt.

The comrades who came to Yangcheng first didn't coordinate the vehicles well, and there were only four large trucks.

Li Huai De and Jing Yunong are factory leaders; it's best to take small cars when going out to visit guests and negotiate, how can one go out in a large truck.

So Li Xuewu called Third Uncle and coordinated two Jeeps from Third Uncle's unit, which are exactly the ones Li Huai De and Jing Yunong are using now.

The condition of the cars is still okay; after all, they are managed by duty, especially the license plates hanging on them, which is convenient wherever they go; this gave Li Huai De a lot of face.

He is a factory leader, but he also has a bit of "rivers and lakes" spirit; although he is Li Xuewu's Third Uncle, he doesn't want Li Xuewu to lose private feelings because of public affairs.

Isn't that right, he waved his hand to signal Sha Qizhi and Li Haiyang to unload more, and unload the expensive and practical ones.

What good things hasn't he seen; these were all sent by the leaders of the participating units sitting together bragging and giving each other gifts.

Of course, they are all export commodity quality, fine workmanship, and foreign styles.

Li Xuewu even looked at the tea set and desk lamp; they were really practical.

He pretended to be embarrassed and stopped them, but Sha Qizhi ignored him and moved hard; really following the Factory Director's requirements, he aimed for the expensive ones.

Li Haiyang glanced at him, then looked at Factory Director Li and Deputy Group Leader Li who were talking on the side, and didn't say anything.

They are all surnamed Li, the most awesome Big Factory Director Li and Small Factory Director Li of the Rolling Mill; what kind of thing is he, daring to speak on this?

So when Li Tong came to pick up his nephew, he found that a pile of things had already been prepared in the courtyard.

Li Huai De had already left in the car, there was still a social engagement in the evening; Li Xuewu had also just come out of the building, Sha Qizhi followed behind and ran over to help load things first.

"What is this for?"

Third Uncle Li Tong was naturally happy to see his nephew, especially hearing that his nephew was rising step by step and was now at the same level as him; he wanted to praise him as soon as he got out of the car.

But he didn't expect that his nephew's secretary would come up to say hello and start loading things into the car.

He was also stunned; if his nephew bought some fruit or something, he would have allowed it, but these are all expensive things, they are gifts; is he asking him to help deliver goods?

Li Xuewu smiled and walked to Third Uncle, gave him a salute, and saw Third Uncle wearing a uniform; he should have just finished work.

"The leader gave them, I couldn't refuse, said I must send them to your house."

"Why be so polite!"

Third Uncle understood instantly and said very embarrassedly: "You are my nephew, isn't it right for me to help you?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to stop Sha Qizhi from loading, saying he wanted to take Li Xuewu to talk to the leader.

Li Xuewu stopped Third Uncle and said with a smile: "The leader left long ago, he specially sent them back; if I wanted to be polite, I would have been polite long ago."

While speaking, he reached out to help Sha Qizhi load things into the car.

They were all small and medium-sized things; the trunk was full, the back seat was also full, and finally, a pair of desk lamps were left, which Li Xuewu held and got into the passenger seat.

"Hurry up, Third Uncle, Third Aunt is waiting anxiously."

"This... what is this all about~"

Li Tong was also full of embarrassment and awkwardness; he just helped his nephew and coordinated two cars, and received so many gifts.

After Third Uncle got into the car, Li Xuewu reminded him with a smile: "The things are given to you, I don't care who you give them to, just don't mess up the car matter."

"Hi! I said you guys were overthinking!"

Third Uncle drove the car out helplessly, complaining in his mouth: "We are old comrades-in-arms, if I say borrow a car, can they be unwilling?"

"This isn't a matter of willingness or unwillingness."

Li Xuewu explained: "The car is public property after all; the trade fair in Yangcheng is so big, many units are borrowing cars, borrowing them to us is naturally a favor."

As he spoke, he glanced at Third Uncle and said: "It's not good to let people bear pressure because of our affairs, right?"

"Hehe~"

Third Uncle smiled, glanced at Li Xuewu, and said: "Okay, kid, you've improved so fast, it seems you've been tempered in society!"

"Don't you really damage me~"

Li Xuewu half-seriously and half-jokingly advised Third Uncle: "You should also change your straightforward temper; we are dedicated to the public, but we are also individuals; if we are individuals, there will be emotional exchanges."

"Fine~ you kid are lecturing me~"

Li Tong smiled and asked: "Is everything good at home?"

"Very good~"

Li Xuewu heard Third Uncle change the topic to ask about the situation at home, knowing he didn't want to talk about this topic, so he didn't continue.

"When I came out, Grandma also urged me to come home and see, she misses you guys."

"I called a few days ago."

Li Tong nodded and said: "Asked her about the situation at home, she said everything was good no matter what I asked, I don't know if it's really good."

"It's really good, otherwise I wouldn't be so relieved to come out, right?"

Li Xuewu saw that Third Uncle was really concerned about home, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law and my mother, as well as Li Xue and Yuxiu are living at home, there are people in the courtyard to take care of them."

"Grandma is still on my side, mainly because Li Shu can't let go; after I go back, she might go home, she also can't let go of my sister-in-law's side."

"Both the palm and the back of the hand are meat."

Li Tong looked at his nephew and said: "Worried about the eldest, heartache for the second, can't bear to let go of either side."

"I know this."

Li Xuewu looked at Second Uncle and said: "One Li Shu is enough to tire her out, it's all for me."

"Hmm, you are an adult, I won't say this anymore."

Li Tong saw his nephew was mature and steady, and a satisfied smile hung on his face.

The uncle and nephew were only fifteen years apart; Li Xuewu had envied Second Uncle and Third Uncle for being able to "run away from home" since he was a child.

At sixteen, he couldn't say how rebellious he was, but he wasn't willing to listen to his father.

But he was willing to listen to his own uncle, and he envied Third Uncle's might even more.

Although Third Uncle wasn't a frontline cadre, there were no weak cadres at this time; even a staff officer at the division level like him could fight.

Even more because Third Uncle arranged for him to join the army, took care of his life, and supported him in going to the southern frontline, so their relationship was very close after he came to Yangcheng.

They hadn't seen each other for a few months, and there was no gap at all; they talked and laughed all the way to their family courtyard.

Although Third Uncle was also a deputy regiment level, he wasn't in a main leadership position, serving as a staff officer at the division level.

Everyone understands; this position of staff officer doesn't carry a "long" title, and it doesn't make a sound even if you fart.

You say he can write and talk, and engage in text and organizational work?

Actually, it's not; Third Uncle's cultural level isn't very high, junior high school education.

Everything he can write and say now was supplemented later with Third Aunt's help.

He was mainly responsible for training plans at the division level; it was also a coincidence that he followed the right leader and was arranged in this position.

Third Uncle was quite upright when he was young, tall, dared to fight and work hard, and was very liked by the leader.

Walking up step by step, he met Third Aunt who worked in the art troupe; it can be considered a coincidence of creation.

This year, because Li Xuewu was jumping very fiercely in Beijing and became in-laws with Gu Haitao, Third Uncle's position in the unit was really solidified a lot.

Of course, these are all empty in Third Uncle's eyes; he actually prefers to lead the team on the front line.

But the old leader also said that he had long been unsuitable for the front line and couldn't walk to this position.

If you want professionalization, you not only need solid team-leading ability, but also organizational ability.

Third Uncle is too straightforward and too kind; sitting in the office is fine, but going down will sooner or later lead to trouble.

Why do people say listen to advice and eat full; Third Uncle is straightforward but not stupid, so his current life is still very good.

Although his father-in-law's level isn't high, he has a certain influence and can help him maintain one or two.

You can tell from the family area where Third Uncle lives; although he doesn't have much energy, he is also stronger than the average person.

If it weren't for such a monster coming out of the Li family's eldest house, maybe the children of the eldest and second houses would have to rely on this Third Uncle for more promotion.

Now it's different; Li Xuewu's takeoff like a skyrocket gave the brothers and sisters confidence to take over their parents' shift, daring to start from the grassroots level without fear of being suppressed.

There is no absolute safety in this world, let alone a backer that never falls.

The Li family children all have a spirit of righteousness and courage, daring to fight and work hard, daring to start from the micro-end.

What they fear is villains making trouble; clearly you have this opportunity for progress, but he just wants to mess it up for you.

The Li family has a protector like Li Xuewu, so no such villain appears.

Even if it's the worst, the least capable child, if there are no villains in the workplace, they live comfortably.

So the family is prosperous; if one person rises, everyone else rises.

The family's hope used to be Third Uncle, then it was eldest brother Xuewen, and now it is Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu's position in the family is equivalent to the reserve head; even Third Aunt and the little cousin have to go downstairs to welcome him.

Of course, this isn't saying Third Aunt is snobbish, nor is it saying how high Li Xuewu's position is, but this subtle family inheritance and influence restrict everyone.

Do you think Third Aunt went downstairs to welcome Li Xuewu?

No, it's the hope and wish for the family's future.

However, as soon as Li Xuewu got out of the car and greeted Third Aunt, he could still see the strangeness in the other party's eyes.

He could guess some situations, especially seeing a car full of things, he was even more clear in his heart.

Li Xuewu didn't say anything, just laughed and played with little cousin Li Xuehan for a while, and then went upstairs to eat under Third Aunt's urging.

The things in the car are naturally not urgent; although Third Uncle said not to care on the car, Li Xuewu's meaning he also understood.

The car was coordinated from below; he would go to see his old comrades-in-arms later, everyone is busy during the day, and the evening is just right.

People are coming and going in the family area at this time, it's not easy to move things upstairs.

Even if it's under the guise of a nephew sending gifts, it won't be easy to take them out later.

Receiving and sending are both a kind of learning.

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the room, he saw the wrapped dumplings on the table, and didn't be polite, smiled and said to Third Aunt: "Third Aunt, I've missed the dumplings you wrapped!"

"Then eat more!"

Hong Min smiled and nodded, took the dumplings on the table to the pot to boil, and said in her mouth: "Since you said you were coming to Yangcheng, your Third Uncle has been thinking about you; hearing you were busy, he didn't even dare to call."

"My Third Uncle is considerate of me."

Li Xuewu smiled, flicked Li Xuehan's forehead, and asked: "Didn't learn from others to go out and make trouble, right?"

"My mom won't let me~"

Li Xuehan wrinkled his nose and complained to Li Xuewu in a low voice: "Our classmates have looked for me several times, now they all say I'm a coward."

"Go~"

Li Tong frowned and scolded his son, saying: "You go and you're not a coward? Those are all..."

"Li Tong, peel the garlic."

Before Third Uncle finished speaking, he was stopped by Third Aunt, who called him to the kitchen.

Li Xuewu wanted to get up to help, but was stopped by Third Uncle, signaling him to be busy.

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa and said to his cousin: "Then, they are all charging into battle, or are they in deep water and hot fire? How many have sacrificed?"

Li Xuehan heard the meaning in Second Brother's words, pursed his lips and didn't speak.

He wasn't afraid of his father, a little afraid of his mother, but the one he was most afraid of was actually Second Brother.

Second Brother didn't beat him less when he was here, and didn't help him fight less; he used to be half a good person in his heart.

Later, when he went to Beijing to attend Second Brother's wedding and saw the scar on his face, that half was gone too.

This is not a good person; it's best not to deal with him when he speaks, otherwise he'll get beaten! ===== CHAPTER 881 =====
