Chapter 886: Do you have anything on tonight?

"Should I be wearing a mask?"

"Why?"

Jing Yunong looked at Li Xuewu, not understanding why he had suddenly said such a thing.

Li Xuewu stepped aside to invite Jing Yunong to go first, then strode into the exhibition hall.

"I'm afraid I have too many enemies and might face malicious retaliation."

"Heh~"

Only then did Jing Yunong understand; Li Xuewu was just pulling her leg.

"With the things you've done, people would remember you even if you were turned to ash; they hate you to the bone~"

"Then you'd better be careful."

Li Xuewu walked beside her and said with a smile, "If a fight breaks out later, don't worry about me. You run first, and I'll cover the rear."

Jing Yunong glanced at him, curled her lip, and said, "I couldn't tell, you're actually quite loyal."

"Actually, that's not it."

Li Xuewu scanned the booths in the exhibition hall, looking at the products on display, but said, "I'm afraid that if you're here, I won't be able to stretch out."

"You think I'm a burden, don't you?"

It was rare for Jing Yunong to actually play along with Li Xuewu's witty remarks. The two of them were like a married couple shopping at a mall, bickering while keeping their eyes on the exhibits.

Sha Qizhi, following behind, scratched his head. What was up with these two today?

They didn't seem to have a great relationship on normal days, so why was their camaraderie heating up today?

"This is the canned food produced by our factory. The varieties are mainly fruit-based, since there's plenty of fruit in the south, after all."

Li Xuewu accompanied Jing Yunong as they walked in front of the booths to view the samples on display.

Of course, the exhibitors weren't giving the two of them a presentation; there were several foreigners walking ahead.

If you went to ask yourself, once they saw you were a local, how could they possibly tell the truth?

Only by following behind the foreigners and pretending to be foreign affairs personnel could one hear as much and as thoroughly as possible.

At first, Jing Yunong didn't want to do this, finding it embarrassing.

But after following Li Xuewu around twice, she exclaimed how truly effective it was.

Because the exhibitors, who were reserved with them, wouldn't hold back in front of foreign businessmen; they wanted to be as comprehensive as possible, hoping to land a big order.

And it must be said, while this tactic was a bit low-key, it was truly effective.

They weren't there for an official inspection, just a side-glance; without proper paperwork, who would bother with them?

Following behind the foreign businessmen, the three of them walked along, looking at one booth after another, and were even able to pick up materials and product introductions from the exhibiting units along the way.

Seeing the three of them following behind and looking like leading cadres, the exhibitors assumed they were foreign affairs cadres accompanying the group for supervision.

Sha Qizhi took the initiative to ask for materials, and they gave them without even asking.

They even assumed they were helping to promote their products because they were afraid the foreign businessmen wouldn't understand the goods or wouldn't be interested.

In any case, Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong didn't say a word; if they really encountered someone who insisted on the truth, they would just dump Sha Qizhi.

Sha Qizhi: "..."

The food exhibition area really did have over a thousand varieties and over a hundred categories, just as Director Chen had said last night. If you counted the overlapping parts of the exhibiting units, a single day wouldn't be enough to look at them carefully.

Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu were just skimming the surface; as long as they understood the origin, factory, and main production situation of the canned goods, that was enough.

If they wanted to know specifics, they could just look at the materials provided by the other party, or coordinate sales data with Selena later.

Selena was almost becoming his business secretary, helping him collect data and having to work for him as well.

The two walked and stopped, looking not only at the food department but also at the textile and porcelain departments.

When Jing Yunong saw good fabric, she couldn't help but urge Li Xuewu to buy more to take back to his family.

Li Xuewu was the type to listen to advice and get fed; Jing Yunong helped him choose fabric, he paid the bill, and incidentally, he also bought her a silk scarf.

Sha Qizhi, carrying bags and items behind them, really felt that these two leaders had something going on today, but looking closely, it didn't seem like it; they were like a married couple!

Around ten in the morning, under Sha Qizhi's reminder, the two headed to the exhibition hall's rest area, preparing to meet the General Manager of Far Reach Trading.

Originally, the agreed time was ten-thirty, and the three of Li Xuewu had arrived ten minutes early, but they hadn't expected the other party to arrive even earlier.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Jing Yunong had clearly met the other party before; now that the two sides were in contact, she took the initiative to greet him first.

"We arrived late; we were a bit reluctant to leave~"

"It is we who arrived early."

Mr. Li was quite amiable. After shaking hands with Jing Yunong, he shook hands with Li Xuewu under Jing Yunong's introduction.

"Finally seeing the true face of Lushan Mountain. Hehe, seeing the effect of your factory's booth, I was very much looking forward to meeting Mr. Li."

"I was also looking forward to meeting you, Mr. Li~"

Li Xuewu cleverly opened the conversation between the two sides; you call me Mr. Li, I'll call you Mr. Li back.

"Hahaha~"

Mr. Li laughed when he heard him say this, saying it was a coincidence: "As the saying goes, fate brings people together from a thousand miles away; without fate, one wouldn't recognize each other even face to face!"

"I would say, if you aren't of the same family, you don't enter the same door."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said confidently, "Once you enter our country's gate, you've entered the family door; we are family."

"I agree with this statement."

Mr. Li invited the two to sit together, while ordering his entourage to call for tea. He himself sighed to Li Xuewu and the other: "Every time I come to the mainland, I have a feeling of returning home."

"I hope you will come home to visit often in the future."

Li Xuewu was accompanying Jing Yunong to discuss business; naturally, he wouldn't steal the limelight or distinguish between big and small kings.

With a few words, he warmed up the atmosphere, took the hot tea handed over by the other party's entourage and placed it on the coffee table, then listened to Jing Yunong talk with the other party.

"I am an old guest."

Mr. Li was quite talkative. When Jing Yunong asked about his understanding of the mainland and his cooperation with mainland units, he also took the initiative to talk about his past participation in trade fairs.

"From the first session, and even the predecessor of the promotion meeting, which is the predecessor of the trade fair, I haven't missed a single one."

"This is the twentieth trade fair."

Mr. Li nodded with a smile and said, "Maybe I'll run to the eightieth, one-hundredth, or even further."

"I believe there will be such a day."

Li Xuewu interjected with a smile, "The mainland has always been communicating and exchanging with the outside world with an attitude of tolerance and understanding."

"Including the structural adjustments that are temporarily appearing now, it is also for a better future."

"I don't doubt this point."

Mr. Li wanted to point out the current situation of the mainland from the beginning, but Jing Yunong was very cautious and didn't pick up the thread.

But here at Li Xuewu's, he heard a certain attitude.

"I have great confidence in the trade fair, because whether it is quality or the guarantee of order delivery deadlines, I have never encountered any problems."

"Of course."

Mr. Li looked at Li Xuewu and said very seriously, "We must also constantly learn and understand in our cooperation with mainland units."

"It's great that you can think this way."

Jing Yunong took over the conversation, while also glancing at Li Xuewu, reminding him to be cautious with some words.

In fact, she also knew that Li Xuewu could say these things because Li Xuewu had another identity.

But in foreign affairs exchanges, including the attitude towards Hong Kong businessmen, she still felt it was better to be cautious.

Today's talks were naturally not without supervision; foreign affairs personnel were sitting behind the two sides, and she couldn't guarantee what those people would record.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this; the words he said were all carefully considered, positive, and upward; how could he leave any handle for others?

Saying those things deliberately was actually to test Mr. Li's attitude; fishing requires bait.

Jing Yunong seemed to see his meaning too; in this situation, if the fish really bit the bait, that would be a big deal.

If the fish didn't bite the bait but showed disgust for the bait, today's conversation would be over.

She wanted to show a commercial and professional attitude and have a more sincere communication with the other party.

But Li Xuewu didn't think so; as long as they entered the mainland, as long as they were at the trade fair, they came with a purpose.

Through the trade fair and cooperation through the export corporation, of course, there would be no problems.

But now the Rolling Mill wanted to broaden its marketing channels and increase its weight in foreign economic trade.

What if they met the wrong person?

If it were a commercial negotiation, Jing Yunong could handle it alone; why bring the deputy head of the security group?

"When you drink water, you think of its source; I must be honest."

Mr. Li looked at the two and explained, "Far Reach Trading was actually founded with the help of China Resources, and I also entered the mainland to engage in export trade from that time."

"Far Reach Trading can be said to be the representative of the first generation of national goods going to sea."

"I heard that you had a hand in the operation of Moutai going to sea, right~"

Jing Yunong had clearly done her homework and had some understanding of Far Reach Trading's past.

Mr. Li waved his hand modestly and said, "Just a little suggestion; after all, I am a channel merchant."

"National goods going to sea is actually a very proud thing, including myself."

He pointed to his chest and said, "I would rather see more Hong Kong people use national goods and support national goods."

"From Tsingtao Beer, Snow Beer, Moutai, Zhuyeqing, to Foshan Haitian Pearl River Bridge brand light soy sauce, dace with black beans, canned ham and pork, and so on and so forth~"

Mr. Li waved his hand proudly and said, "Far Reach Trading has been providing canned food, grain and oil, candy, biscuits, and other types of food to Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, and all parts of the world."

He counted on his fingers the national goods he represented or the representative brands of national goods he helped go to sea.

There were some Li Xuewu had heard of and some he hadn't, but from the state of the other party's speech, it could be seen that he was very proud.

"Now Far Reach Trading is deeply familiar to the general public in Hong Kong, and its sales products are all over major supermarkets, restaurants, and convenience stores."

"You know about supermarkets, right?"

When he talked about this, he specifically asked Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu.

When Li Xuewu saw Jing Yunong shake her head, he also shook his head, indicating he didn't understand.

"It's just like the big markets in the mainland before, selling everything, all kinds of goods."

Mr. Li explained to the two, "It's just that all the stalls are placed and operated in a very standardized way indoors; these stalls, including management, belong to one merchant."

"Understood~"

Jing Yunong raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded, "It's just a grocery store made big and complete, like our big department stores."

"That's why it's called a supermarket~"

Mr. Li nodded with a smile, "It's just a grocery store, selling everything, having everything!"

"So the national goods I represent can be accepted by them, facing Hong Kong people of all classes, ages, and professions."

"The management model should be different."

Li Xuewu looked at Jing Yunong and reminded her, "Ours is a counter system; theirs is not necessarily so, maybe freer and more humanized."

"Correct! That's exactly it!"

Mr. Li nodded, "The goods in the supermarket are all placed on shelves, allowing customers entering the store to choose at will."

"About the same~"

Jing Yunong understood it somewhat and said, "We can also choose at will in our big department stores."

"The supply system is different."

Li Xuewu glanced at Jing Yunong and reminded her, "The requirements for management and supply are also different; supermarkets are not suitable for our economic system."

"It seems that Division Chief Li has done a lot of research on the economy."

Hearing these few words from Li Xuewu, Mr. Li showed unexpected attention to him, and even the title changed to his position.

Clearly, he had experience communicating with mainland cadres and knew how to show respect.

Li Xuewu was not overly modest, nor did he show any pride; he just looked at him and nodded, "Doing foreign trade, how can one not understand the economy?"

Whether it was cooperation or communication, even if the other party was shouting kindness, with peers standing behind, Li Xuewu still didn't trust him.

When it was time to express an attitude, it had to be clearly expressed; this was the basis of trade negotiations.

"I don't know what the procurement sources for Mr. Li's canned food, grain and oil, candy, and biscuits are?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Only doing procurement at the trade fair?"

"Oh?"

Mr. Li heard Li Xuewu turn the topic to business, his eyebrows moved, and he asked, "I don't know what Division Chief Li means?"

"Channels~"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, glanced at Jing Yunong, and said to him, "Our factory intends to put several food factories into production and is seeking cooperation with channel procurement merchants."

Jing Yunong looked at him strangely when she heard Li Xuewu speak so bluntly, and then she also focused her gaze on Mr. Li, waiting for his reaction.

"Is this the business that China Resources is currently discussing?"

Who would have thought that this Mr. Li really had sharp ears and actually knew the content of the cooperation the Rolling Mill was currently discussing.

Seeing that Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong didn't show any surprise, he knew it was indeed the case.

He hesitated for a long time before asking, "With your factory cooperating with China Resources, do you still need to expand channel procurement?"

"Of course."

Jing Yunong knew how to grasp the timing and accurately seized the initiative, saying, "China Resources only obtained the Hong Kong agency rights for our factory."

"Oh? Is that so!"

Mr. Li looked at the two with surprise; he didn't expect that there were units in the mainland that could distinguish the concept of regional agency.

The key was that they were already executing it this way, handing over the export food agency rights for Hong Kong to China Resources, and then coming to find him; the meaning was already very clear.

"What do the two leaders mean...?"

"It still depends on what you mean."

Jing Yunong smiled slightly and said, "After all, the factory is still in the planning stage; I believe you already know the general situation here."

"Is it Moutai?"

Mr. Li nodded and said, "I have paid attention to this news."

"Then, regarding the issue of agency rights."

He looked at the two and asked, "What agreement has your factory set?"

"China Resources is very special."

Li Xuewu took over the conversation and explained to Mr. Li, "I believe you know this point without me saying it."

"This doesn't include the other cooperative relationships between China Resources and our factory, so it cannot be compared horizontally."

"We also haven't determined other agency plans according to the standards of China Resources."

Jing Yunong said, "It's still discussed according to region and agency time; this is very appropriate for everyone."

"Hmm."

Mr. Li nodded, expressing agreement, but in business, one talks business; the conditions that should be discussed still had to be discussed.

"How does your factory ensure that there will be no phenomenon of cross-regional sales or chaotic goods after the goods leave the factory, or how to ensure the supply and delivery of goods?"

"I will explain this point."

Li Xuewu glanced at Jing Yunong and said to Mr. Li, "Regarding the issue of productivity, you actually know the situation in the mainland; we don't need to worry about this point."

"As for guaranteeing the supply of goods, we can provide convenient transportation channels, not including customs clearance, but we can reach the port."

"Product packaging is also determined by region; there will be obvious regional indications on it, and there will be strict management of procurement merchants and agents."

"Including you in Hong Kong, it's the same."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "Goods arriving at the port that are not Hong Kong-owned goods are strictly prohibited from flowing into local channels and are limited to cargo flow."

"Actually, this kind of binding force is not enough to guarantee the flow of goods, right?"

Mr. Li looked at Li Xuewu and said, "At least you are in the mainland and have no way to influence the outside; Hong Kong might not even be able to reach it."

"Not necessarily."

Li Xuewu took the lead before Jing Yunong and answered, "As long as an agent reports that goods from other regional agents appear in their location, we will arrange for people to go and investigate."

"Once the problem is verified, the light ones will be fined, and the heavy ones will have their agency rights canceled, and even deeper-level punishments will be made."

"Also."

Li Xuewu emphasized, "We are very sure that we can guarantee the execution of this system; our influence might be beyond your imagination."

As he spoke, he tapped his feet and added, "If you really violate commercial rules and touch the bottom line of commercial ethics, you won't need to come to this trade fair anymore; I said it!"

Listening to Li Xuewu's serious and earnest rhetoric, Mr. Li's gaze condensed slightly, and he once again scrutinized this young man, judging the truth of the other party's words in his heart.

"Are you saying that you are using the power of China Resources to execute this kind of supervision?"

"No."

Li Xuewu shook his head seriously and said, "For us, China Resources is just a relatively close strategic partner, but it is also in the sequence of agent management."

"Hehe~ interesting~"

Mr. Li chuckled; it was hard to see any components of lying on Li Xuewu's face, but he still didn't believe the young man's words.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, appearing very confident, not afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and even less afraid that he wouldn't talk anymore.

"Then let's talk about the agency conditions first."

Mr. Li noncommittally took a sip of tea and asked the two, "If I want to represent the distribution rights of your factory in Macau, what conditions are there?"

"It's like this."

Jing Yunong took a document from Sha Qizhi's hand and handed it to the other party, saying, "After chatting with you last time, we also researched a plan; please take a look."

"Okay, thank you."

Mr. Li took the document and started reading; the cooperation plan above was quite regular, similar to the agreements currently prevalent in Hong Kong.

But there were some differences in specific requirements, such as the issues of cross-regional sales and chaotic goods just discussed.

There were strict judgment standards here; according to dealer feedback and actual investigation, they were divided into articles and clauses, all with specific punishment details.

The lightest was a fine on the agency deposit, and the heaviest was not only the confiscation of the entire agency deposit but also the cancellation of the relevant agent's distribution qualifications and reporting to the relevant departments.

Mr. Li was really seeing a mainland factory treat distributors so cautiously and seriously for the first time; in the past, when he came to the mainland for cooperation, it was mostly verbal coordination or agency through the export corporation.

This time, he really met an expert; not only were there regional agency conditions, but there was also an agency deposit, and the fines for distributors were reflected in the deposit.

This was really...

Jing Yunong saw Mr. Li frown and was also worried in her heart.

She had carefully studied the agency plan prepared by Li Xuewu; it could be said to be extremely favorable to the Rolling Mill, and the management of the distribution agency units was also strict.

But it was... too strict; it was a bit like managing subordinate units.

Not to mention the control of distribution channels, it also made clear regulations and restrictions on brand marketing.

The first article was: During the marketing process, the distributor's agency goods cannot contain any elements or purposes that slander, libel, or insult CN.

Even more so, they cannot use the goods to create any contradictions and conflicts unrelated to business.

The second article: Distributors must not carry out false or misleading commercial propaganda regarding the performance, function, quality, etc., of the agency goods.

It is strictly forbidden to exaggerate, deceive...

"It is indeed very sufficient."

Mr. Li didn't have any objections to that thick document at the beginning.

But after reading a few pages, he flipped back to the directory part again to retrieve relevant information, and he was really surprised in his heart.

He raised his head and glanced at Jing Yunong, nodded, but didn't get unhappy or angry as Jing Yunong had thought.

"Our factory treats all agents and cooperative units equally; there is no differential treatment."

"Hmm, I understand this, and I also agree with it."

Mr. Li nodded and said to Jing Yunong, "It's better to be strict; this way everyone has business to do, and there's no need to argue or talk, which actually saves a lot of trouble."

As he said this, he specifically glanced at Li Xuewu, because he found that this Deputy Director Jing was a bit sensitive and had looked at this young man several times.

Could it be some important figure?

Mr. Li knew the situation in the mainland very well; some descendants entering factories to work and holding important positions was not fresh.

But looking at Li Xuewu's appearance, he didn't seem pampered, but rather like someone who had been tempered.

"Thank you for your understanding; our starting point and agency distribution are the same, which is to create a better marketing environment and sell more excellent goods."

"Hmm, regarding agency fees and deposits..."

After Mr. Li nodded, he flipped the document in his hand to the relevant position and mentioned, "Is it calculated based on the deposit and agency fee..."

"Comprehensive comparison calculation."

Jing Yunong explained, "All distribution agencies need to pay a certain brand agency deposit, which is different from the factory brand."

"Oh?"

Mr. Li gave up checking the text on the document; he couldn't read it anymore, there were too many clauses.

"Is it calculated differently according to the brand?"

"Yes, this is fairer."

Jing Yunong nodded and said, "We are currently preparing to build three food factories, and other factory brands will appear in the future, so it is calculated according to brand agency."

"Agency fees are also distinguished according to brand agency; the first year is calculated according to the planned procurement volume."

"The second year is calculated according to the previous year's procurement volume; if there is more, it will be refunded, and if there is less, it will be deducted from the deposit."

"However, if the deposit does not meet the quota, goods cannot be shipped."

Jing Yunong was also explaining the powerful agency plan with trepidation.

"So."

Mr. Li raised the document in his hand and asked, "Do I have to pay a deposit, agency fee, and advance payment in the first year?"

"No, it is calculated and paid after the first year's procurement period expires."

Jing Yunong saw the other party's face become serious and explained earnestly, "Only after calculating the procurement volume in the first year can the first year's agency fee be calculated."

"Oh?"

Mr. Li was a bit surprised by this plan and asked uncomprehendingly, "What if my company only wanted goods for the first year, didn't pay for the second year, and didn't order goods anymore?"

"Then naturally there is no agency fee."

Jing Yunong smiled politely and didn't feel this was a loophole.

Mr. Li also blinked, smiled suddenly, and said, "Then the deposit is gone too, right?"

"That is the case."

Jing Yunong saw the other party react and smiled apologetically, and couldn't help but glance at Li Xuewu again.

Mr. Li also followed her gaze to Li Xuewu and asked with a smile, "This plan was planned by Division Chief Li, right?"

"A little opinion."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "The comrades in the office worked hard."

Mr. Li nodded with a smile, still finding it interesting, and couldn't help but tap on the document, saying, "This is called 'the willing fish takes the bait'! Wonderful!"

"Hahahaha~"

The three looked at each other and laughed; after testing for so long, it turned out they were all old foxes, just chatting.

"No matter~ no matter, this is the mall."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "It's a good thing; I can see the rigor and liveliness of your factory, which is something I haven't seen in other factories in the mainland."

"A small trick, not worth mentioning."

Li Xuewu smiled modestly and said, "This is also to adapt to the international trade situation and make flexible trade means."

"Hmm, this represents your strong ability, full confidence, and high-minded thinking!"

Mr. Li raised his hand and pointed, "I don't care about many rules; the more rules, the safer it proves."

"Then what are the specific numbers?"

He pointed to the blank space on the document; the data here was all left blank, and after talking for a long time, he didn't know how much money it would take to take down the Macau distribution agency rights.

Jing Yunong also gave the answer: "Because we still have to talk about agency in other regions next, please determine the target you want to talk about."

"Once the negotiation starts, we will lock the agency region being negotiated; your side cannot talk about other regions before settling the relevant regions, and other agents cannot talk about the business in that region."

"Powerful!"

Hearing her say this, Mr. Li couldn't help but raise a thumb and said, "Just for this point, I firmly believe that your factory will do big things sooner or later."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Jing Yunong took another product catalog from Sha Qizhi's hand and handed it over, saying, "This is our factory's product catalog; both those under construction and those already in production are marked."

"Good, good, I will definitely look at it carefully."

Mr. Li stood up, shook hands with the two, and said, "Seeing you today, I know there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people."

"You are too polite."

Jing Yunong, as a leader, exchanged pleasantries with the other party: "I hope we can reach cooperation; I am very much looking forward to you coming to Beijing to walk around and take a look."

"Definitely, definitely."

Mr. Li sent the two off for a few steps, and the two sides parted ways.

Today was just a talk, not a negotiation; negotiation requires full understanding and sitting at the negotiating table.

Far Reach Trading needed to carefully investigate the Rolling Mill's investment in the food factory and also do a background check on the Rolling Mill to determine the magnitude of the cooperative unit.

Secondly, it was also to study the distribution agency cooperation plan already in hand and judge the execution ability of this plan.

Finally, it was to select agency brands for evaluation, compare agency regions, and specific cooperation matters.

These all needed to be determined in the next first negotiation, second negotiation, or more negotiations, and finally sign a cooperation agreement.

The Rolling Mill side pulled a big banner from China Resources; they really borrowed someone else's chicken, and now the chicken coop hadn't even been built, but they had already started selling eggs.

Do you believe it?

Jing Yunong didn't believe it either, but Li Xuewu did it.

Not only did he play a trick of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, but he also wanted to play the trick of empty-handed white wolf!

That was the agency deposit!

The cooperation plan marked that the deposit could be refunded to the distribution agent, but there were specific refund requirements.

Don't worry, in this world, projects that make you pay a deposit are all more difficult to refund than constipation.

Li Xuewu didn't intend to refund these deposits at all, because this was his channel to raise funds for factory construction!

When negotiating with China Resources, the Rolling Mill promised to be responsible for many infrastructure and machinery projects.

Even if there was cash investment from China Resources, that money was Hong Kong dollars; really take it back to the mainland to spend?

Only a fool would do that!

All deposits and other funds paid by distribution agents would be deposited into the account opened by the Rolling Mill at the Oriental Era Bank.

What for?

What for? It wouldn't enter the mainland in the form of foreign exchange!

Either purchase machinery, purchase raw materials, or purchase machinery and raw materials needed by other factories.

In any case, this capital project cannot be directly cashed out, otherwise, it would be kicked by a donkey.

Industrial goods are exported to distributors, and distributors hand over the money to the Oriental Era Bank.

Oriental Trading takes money from the Oriental Era Bank, purchases materials needed by the Rolling Mill, and sends them back through East Wind Shipping.

Do you say it's interesting?

The Rolling Mill resells duty-free imported machinery and raw materials to brother units in need, in exchange for construction materials and operating materials.

Measured by money, but absolutely cannot trade with money, otherwise every step is a loss.

Walking out of the rest area, Jing Yunong still couldn't help but glance at the man beside her several times; she was truly dazzled by his talent.

Such a bad yet talented person, which woman could not love him?

"Eat together at noon?"

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and said to Jing Yunong, "They said there is a Sichuan restaurant nearby, it's a must."

"Forget it, I have an appointment with Bincheng Shipbuilding in the afternoon to discuss technology and equipment introduction."

Jing Yunong's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Li Xuewu, she said, "I'll just make do here at noon; if you use the car, go first, and let the driver pick me up when you come back."

"It's better if we stay; let the chemical plant pick us up later."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to open the car door for her and said, "It's too troublesome for the driver to send us back, pick you up, go back to the hostel, and then go to see Bincheng Shipbuilding."

"Alright then."

Jing Yunong nodded, stepped onto the jeep, and said to Li Xuewu who was closing the car door, "I wish your afternoon trip all the best."

"You too."

Li Xuewu patted the driver's car door, reminding him that he could drive, and didn't turn back until he watched the vehicle leave.

"Leader."

Sha Qizhi raised his eyebrows and asked hesitantly, "Do you feel that Deputy Director Jing's attitude... um, how should I put it, is gentler?"

"Should be milder, right?"

Li Xuewu corrected him, patted his arm, and took him to walk beside the exhibition hall to go to a restaurant.

While walking, he explained, "Leaders, they are all like this; as long as your work goes smoothly, she won't be serious and harsh, and you'll feel she's mild."

"Is that so?"

Sha Qizhi tilted his head and thought about it; it seemed reasonable, but it also seemed... hiss~

"How did this happen?"

Selena looked at Li Xuewu, who was a bit disheveled, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"Just came back from the chemical plant."

Li Xuewu looked down at himself; his white shirt was already dirty, and there were white spots on his trousers, which he got when he drilled into the factory building to look at the machines.

He looked like this, and Bai Changmin, who went with him, looked even worse.

The factory leaders at this time were really something; Li Xuewu took the lead to ensure that every decision he made was absolutely correct.

And Bai Changmin worked tirelessly to follow him to look under the machines and study production technology; that was really being serious and responsible for his work.

After the two ate lunch, they didn't care about resting or not and went directly to visit the agreed-upon unit.

Guangzhou Pearl River Plastic Products Factory, Guangzhou Plastic Machinery Mold Factory, Guangzhou Organic Glass Products Factory.

Among them, the Pearl River Plastic Products Factory had the largest scale and the strongest production capacity.

According to the business person in charge, they had already trial-produced PE blown film based on Japanese product samples as early as the fifties.

The equipment at the beginning of production was a domestic extruder, self-equipped with traction and winding devices, and produced PVC pipes.

Now the factory had developed into an important enterprise in the plastic industry with more than 1,500 employees and a factory area of more than 10,000 square meters.

Listen to that, more than 1,500 people dared to call themselves an important enterprise, and it was even taken out by the person in charge to show off.

Looking back at the Rolling Mill, Li Xuewu didn't say a word.

Bai Changmin, the deputy director of the chemical plant, didn't say a word when listening to the other party's pride; his meaning was the same as Li Xuewu's.

They came to learn skills, not to smash the place!

Compare the number of people?

Compare the scale of the factory area?

Not to mention that the Rolling Mill had a main factory area of more than 10,000 people and three branch factories with more than 1,000 people; just taking the five or six branch factories of the chemical plant, they couldn't compare.

Low-key, the two looked at each other, and each other's eyes were saying that humility makes people progress~

The main products of Pearl River Plastic Products Factory included fishing line, artificial leather, sandals, slippers, particles, eyeglass frames, flashlights, buttons, soap boxes, combs, cups, bowls, hair clips, clothes clips, student rulers, etc.

According to the person in charge, they used currently relatively advanced injection molding machines, 28 ounces and 40 ounces, which were imported from Italy.

Li Xuewu didn't understand the meaning represented by this specification, and Bai Changmin was also confused.

The two specifically drilled under the machines to take a look and carefully observed the product production process on the production line.

It could be said... didn't understand, but felt awesome!

Really didn't understand; Li Xuewu wasn't a mechanical expert, but he wasn't a novice either; Bai Changmin was an expert in the field of chemistry, but his understanding of the plastic industry was only at the level of theoretical research.

The person in charge proudly introduced the molds customized from Hong Kong and introduced the production principle of plastic basins to the two.

Yes, looking so advanced, so awesome, it was actually just making plastic basins.

You really shouldn't think plastic basins are ordinary; that was in later generations; at this time, it was extraordinary; anyway, Li Xuewu's family had always used enamel basins and had never used plastic ones.

After visiting the plastic basin production line, the two looked at the plastic bucket production line and the plastic slipper production line.

Anyway, after a tour, Li Xuewu finally knew how the plastic slippers he wore at home were manufactured.

A group of people looked at the plastic production workshop, the paint, foam, sponge, and artificial rubber production workshops; when they came back, they didn't look like people anymore.

Bai Jiahei became flowery, a piece of white, a piece of black; the white shirt was black, and the black trousers were dyed white by the industrial materials.

Selena helplessly and amusedly scolded Li Xuewu, signaling him to go upstairs and change his clothes quickly.

"The Japanese and Hong Kong representatives have already arrived; don't drag it out too long."

"Okay, you deal with it first."

Li Xuewu looked at the conference room, gave Sha Qizhi a look, and then went upstairs.

He drilled into the machines, but Sha Qizhi didn't; he had to be responsible for collecting and organizing materials.

Leaving Sha Qizhi to cooperate with Selena to take care of the foreign businessmen was because he didn't trust Selena alone, and he was also afraid of losing courtesy.

There were several sets of Bai Jiahei in his luggage; taking a shower and changing clothes would only take three to five minutes.

Just as he came out of the room, he saw Zhang Songying walking this way.

"I said, was it you I just saw~"

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu and emphasized, "Is this going out again?"

"Meeting a few foreign businessmen."

Li Xuewu said while walking, "Didn't you go to the Xinya Hotel? Why are you back so early?"

"I came back after seeing almost everything."

Zhang Songying stood in place waiting for Li Xuewu, and only continued after he reached her side, "Is tomorrow's activity confirmed? If there's no problem, I have to give them an answer."

"No problem."

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and told her, "Director Li also asked about this yesterday; we will go together tomorrow morning."

"Oh, by the way!"

Li Xuewu just finished explaining, looked back at Zhang Songying, pointed at her, and asked, "Do you have anything on tonight?"

"To... tonight?"

"No... nothing~"

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu with great surprise; he seemed... he seemed to have never asked her out so blatantly before.

This is in the hallway; if you want that, just give me a look and I'll know, why ask so loudly?

"That's perfect."

Li Xuewu walked two more steps forward and said to her, "Tonight I have an appointment to eat with people from the fruit distribution general companies of Guangxi and Sichuan provinces; you accompany me~"

"I... eat...?"

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu, who had already gone downstairs, with words stuck in her throat; she really didn't know what to say.

Isn't that... for that? ===== CHAPTER 887 =====
