Chapter 895

The Northeast, rich in natural resources and home to outstanding people.

This fertile land could have nurtured countless of the wealthiest people, but under the weight of various unstable factors, it has been left with too many regrets.

But Li Xuewu is a "later arrival," and he knows the opportunities and the future here all too well.

The Bohai Sea circle changes its situation every year, and its relationship with its neighbors changes day by day.

The rise of a great power brings not only dust and criticism, but also all kinds of blood and tears.

The South can build fortunes from a single sampan, so why can't the Northeast?

Because the people of the Northeast are too honest; the ferocity in their bones is all for the sake of resisting the most primitive hardships of this land.

The more one has experienced suffering, the more one harbors the kindness to save all living beings.

Therefore, more people from the Northeast are synonymous with being warm, generous, forthright, and hospitable.

Li Xuewu has no regional bias, but he does have a heart for building wealth.

The home is the home of the nation, and wealth is the wealth of the people.

When dwelling in the high halls of the temple, one worries for the people; when dwelling far away in the rivers and lakes, one worries for the sovereign.

In the past, Li Xuewu thought of this saying in reverse; he dared not speak recklessly about the great trends of history.

Even now, he dares not presumptuously "worry for the people," because he is not yet qualified.

But history is selective; when Li Xuewu hadn't gone to the Steel City, wasn't the Guandong region doing this very business?

Did anyone manage him?

There are many, many complex reasons for this, not worth mentioning.

Of course, if Guandong can do it, can't Li Xuewu do it?

He can!

Even if Li Xuewu did it, no one would manage him.

But Li Xuewu cannot do it, nor will he do it; there is no need to tarnish his own status for the sake of this little money.

Whether it is the great trend or tacit approval, he will not touch this trade.

But why does he want to build "Big Flying" boats, and why does he dare to say he will let the Northeast get rich first?

First of all, the electronic industry, small commodities, small hardware, and a series of industrial production bases that have been approved and invested in are expected to achieve large-scale production within two years.

What is an industrial base?

What is large-scale production?

Just look at how many more quotas Li Xuewu has added to the coordination order for the Personnel Department.

These quotas are all pegged to the basic line of middle school graduation; after basic training and being put on the assembly line, what will the effect be?

Positions in the Steel Rolling Mill that have higher requirements for technology and ability will gradually be replaced by these young people.

Those who are older, lack cultural quality, lack skills or crafts, and have no room for advancement will gradually sink to basic positions.

For example: cleaning teams, service teams, construction teams, transport teams... etc., positions where physical labor is the most basic skill.

And if they can't do it, or don't want to do it, what then?

There are only a few ways to solve this:

First, those of appropriate age retire early, letting their children take over their jobs in the factory.

Second, find connections and actively transfer jobs to other factories.

Finally, act like a rascal, be marginalized by personnel diversion; they are uncomfortable, and the whole family follows suit in being awkward.

Looking at the changes in personnel structure, the Steel Rolling Mill is undergoing a major blood transfusion starting from the grassroots workers.

Its manifestation is that the average level of worker quality is improved, professional skill positions are effectively supplemented, and relevant talent reserves reach saturation.

The impact of these factors combined is that the Steel Rolling Mill is becoming younger, has momentum, and industrial upgrading starts from the workers, realizing self-transformation.

From metallurgy to steel rolling, from heavy industry to light industry, an all-around, three-dimensional upgrade.

After the production lines of several industrial bases are satisfied in terms of personnel, technology, and hardware, Li Xuewu dares to guarantee that the procurement volume of foreign merchants will absolutely not satisfy the production capacity.

So what to do? Foreign trade to domestic sales?

This is not allowed; no matter from which angle, it is a big problem.

If the Steel Rolling Mill wants to engage in domestic sales, it must go through the supply and marketing system; the degree of acceptance by ordinary people regarding the price, style, and function of these products is a problem.

Selling them cheaply is a disaster for other manufacturers, and he will lose money himself.

Selling them expensively means no one buys them, and inventory will still be tied up.

So it still has to be foreign sales.

There are only so many regular channels, and they have all been distributed to distributors for agency operations.

Should the areas without distributors be abandoned?

Also, foreign merchants are currently very active in providing technology, but what if the situation changes one day?

What if the Steel Rolling Mill's technology achieves a breakthrough, or the distributing country raises tariffs to ensure the competitiveness of its own domestic goods?

Foreign merchants cooperating with the Steel Rolling Mill is a natural attribute of unfairness; sooner or later, they will split up.

When foreign merchants consider technology protection and product protection, they will decisively stop procurement agreements, even if it means losing money.

Then what will happen at that time?

Li Xuewu is already used to it; he must keep a backup plan for everything, even if it's the best of friends, you can't guarantee the other party won't stab you in the back.

The stab from behind is the most painful; Li Xuewu is not willing to be stabbed by others from behind, he can only be the one standing behind others.

Therefore, laying out light boats has become a necessary means of dealing with overcapacity.

Within one year, the shipyard will achieve production; within two years, the industrial layout will be completed; in the third year, it will be able to start at full power and produce at full speed.

This rhythm is relatively parallel to the industrial base, and it can realize Li Xuewu's goal.

First, he must kill the "Han River Miracle"—what the hell kind of miracle—dump these home appliances and small commodities over there, and let them see what a real miracle is.

Second, through cooperation with the "Little Devils," during the period of technology learning and exploration, even if it doesn't make money, he must drag down their production industry.

These ten-plus years are the period of rapid development for the Little Devils' electronic industry; if Li Xuewu's layout is successful, he can break one of their legs, and by then, it won't be clear who is working for whom.

What?

Can't build "Big Flying" boats if cooperating with Little Devil distributors?!

Of course that's impossible; only the more "Big Flying" boats are shipped, the more dependent the Little Devils will be on the Steel Rolling Mill's industry.

Within three years, Li Xuewu wants to drive down the production cost of fiberglass and achieve the track of independent research and development for landing engines.

Attach six wings to the cheap fiberglass hulls and become the delivery angels for the people on the other side.

Japan, South Korea, North Korea, the Russians...

Li Xuewu has already selected the targets; three years later, if "Big Qiangzi" is still alive, then give him this opportunity.

If he has no capital, he can lend it to him; as long as the order volume is sufficient, the Steel Rolling Mill will give away "Big Flying" boats for free.

Li Xuewu doesn't touch this business, but he is willing to cultivate a group of water knights who don't produce electronic products but only act as porters for the Steel Rolling Mill.

If one "Big Qiangzi" stands up, then ten, twenty, one hundred "Big Qiangzis" will appear.

Send electronic industrial products out with zero tariffs, and then transport the scarce materials needed by the Steel Rolling Mill back, achieving a win-win.

Oh oh, the "win-win" here refers to the Steel Rolling Mill, while Li Xuewu is a "triple-win."

He wants to win three times!

The noon shift bell rang, and Li Xuewu stood up from behind his desk.

For the whole morning, he hadn't had the chance to walk out of the office or take a turn around the department.

Since taking the position of Deputy Division Chief, the time he spent walking around the department had gradually decreased.

And after taking concurrent charge of the entire department as Deputy Division Chief, he was even less likely to go to various offices to take a look.

Unless there was an inspection activity or a task, he wouldn't go to the large office.

Now that he was serving as the First Deputy Leader of the Security Group, fully responsible for the Security Group's work, and concurrently serving as the Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office, he went down even less.

One reason was that time didn't allow it; the work was really too much and too busy.

The second reason was that he understood the mentality of the grassroots workers—they didn't want leaders coming down during work hours.

The third reason was that as the person in charge of the Security Group, going down frequently would cause trouble for the work of the other two deputy leaders.

Nominally, Li Xuewu was responsible for security work, Chu Yougong was responsible for supervision and confidentiality, and Xiao Zihong was responsible for training and firefighting.

But in reality, it wasn't like that; Xiao Zihong, as the former Deputy Division Chief of the Security Division, had always been responsible for relevant business work.

This time, with the work adjustment and re-division of labor, he was responsible for training and firefighting.

However, the business aspects of security work were still handed over to him to preside over and be responsible for.

Li Xuewu was in charge of the overall work of the Security Group, so he inevitably had to give up something in terms of business.

If Xiao Zihong did well, then give him more burdens; if Chu Yougong had many ideas, then arrange more work for him.

Structurally, the three were at the same level, all under the leadership of Dong Wenxue.

But in reality, it was Li Xuewu leading the two.

"Three monks have no water to drink"; one department with one chief and two deputies—if the names were right and the words were smooth, it would be fine, but like Li Xuewu's situation, this relationship was really very complex.

You see, Li Xuewu came out of the office, took his lunch box to the canteen to eat, and Xiao Zihong could time it perfectly to come out and have a "chance encounter" with Li Xuewu.

And Chu Yougong? Passing by his office, he was still busy in there.

Was he really busy, not hearing the bell for lunch, or was he deliberately being this busy? That was unknown.

Xiao Zihong walked beside Li Xuewu, chatting and laughing, talking about the group's work and interesting things during the recent period.

Mentioning the Security Section's operation to crack down on people climbing over the wall to enter and exit the factory area at night, he jokingly called it a "destruction of love."

Li Xuewu was also very surprised; these college students didn't date on campus, so why did they start gathering together after coming to the Steel Rolling Mill?

Could it be that there was magic in love at the Steel Rolling Mill?

This question was really hard to answer; at the very least, when Wang Yajuan, who came to the small canteen for dinner, saw Li Xuewu leading people into the gate, she couldn't help but feel something unusual in her heart.

The boy of the past had now become a grown man, a big cadre.

He was one way in the office, and another way in life.

It was just that he lacked the recklessness of his youth and had gained a bit more of the steadiness and grandeur of a middle-aged man.

She greeted Li Xuewu, who was looking over, very naturally, calling him "Leader."

Li Xuewu didn't mind her form of address either; he pointed to the stack of lunch boxes in her hand and asked with a smile, "Your appetite is quite good~"

"Not at all, I'm bringing them for the group."

She explained with a smile, "They are researching a program, so I had to help them get food."

"Hmm, this cadre is doing a good job."

Li Xuewu was just passing by; he cracked a joke and went to the window side.

However, in the time it took to say just two sentences, Wang Yajuan had already attracted several focused gazes.

She knew very well what this represented; perhaps she would have cared before, but now she was calm.

She didn't dare to claim his label, but working at the Steel Rolling Mill, how could she guarantee their relationship wouldn't be known by outsiders?

Being calm and generous was actually beneficial to both of them.

If they really hid and tucked, the mouths of those people in the group wouldn't be able to contain it; if it spread like wildfire, she really wouldn't be able to stay.

Also, I don't know what's going on, but those few people who came back from Yangcheng all looked at her strangely.

The fact that she knew Li Xuewu was no longer news in their circle.

Including Zhou Miaomiao, Zhou Xiaoling, and others, even those who had clashed with Li Xuewu.

It was just that after going to Yangcheng once, what did they discover, or what changes occurred, why did they start again?

Wang Yajuan felt that this matter must have something to do with Li Xuewu, but she couldn't go and ask Li Xuewu about it, so she could only be vague.

Speaking of which, it was awkward and strange; the relationship between women really couldn't be described, more fickle than a child's face.

Good with you today, good with her tomorrow; you couldn't tell who had a good relationship with whom.

Some had fast mouths; they had only been back for one day, and the gossip and scandals in the dance troupe were known by all who should know.

Including those things that happened in Yangcheng, just the six of them—no one knew whose mouth was lacking.

Of course, so far, these words were still spreading within the dance troupe; they also knew the depth.

What should be said and what shouldn't be said—they weren't children anymore.

But hearing that Zhou Xiaoling had taken the initiative to approach Division Chief Li, these people inevitably felt sour in their hearts and began to feel sorry for Wang Yajuan.

A trend of "forgetting the old for the new" permeated the dance troupe.

Wang Yajuan herself, who had been molded into a pitiful and tragic figure by gossip, was still kept in the dark and didn't know what was going on, but her sad story already had several versions.

Clearly, they were just childhood sweethearts, but now it was made to look like she was the one who was properly married and then abandoned.

It was also because their minds were simple; they had gathered together since they were young and hadn't had much contact with the outside world.

So thinking about things easily became emotional, sentimental, like Lin Daiyu.

Sometimes, they would even project themselves into the characters and hate Zhou Xiaoling on behalf of Wang Yajuan.

Loving fantasy—isn't that just the feeling they should have at their age? Feeling that love is the most precious beauty in this world.

Zhou Miaomiao's approach had caused debate and discussion in the dance troupe.

Some felt she was base and shameless, while others whose minds were already active felt that there was another ladder to success in this world.

Saying their thoughts were simple—they really thought Zhou Miaomiao's path was simple, selectable, and replicable.

Of course, they were naturally beautiful and were all dancers; the effect on stage gave them a unique temperament.

So their spirits were high, feeling that if they went, they could also do it.

Isn't it just losing this face and the... anyway, Zhou Miaomiao wasn't ashamed, so what could everyone say?

After Zhou Miaomiao came back from Yangcheng, she was working hard to learn organizational knowledge, clearly wanting to make progress.

If you ask her, she says she is studying, arming her mind, and actively requesting progress.

But is progress requested? Isn't it "waist-balled" (a pun on sexual favors)?

They pitied Wang Yajuan on one hand, and envied wanting to become Wang Yajuan on the other.

Zhou Miaomiao was the experimental signal; as long as she made progress, it proved that this path was passable.

Good heavens, these girls really had transcendent ideas; didn't they know the principle of "many wolves and little meat"?

One Zhou Miaomiao is fine; two Zhou Miaomiao, Director Li can also resist.

If three come, I'm afraid he won't live to see the day the Steel Rolling Mill becomes a group.

You say there are young ones to share the firepower?

Stop messing around; that path Zhou Xiaoling had already tested, it didn't work, and she's still lost now.

Since there is a path that works, which one do you think they will choose?

Who says being a leader isn't dangerous!

"Leader, I'm here to report work to you."

Zhang Songying stood at the entrance of the small canteen with a smile; when she saw Li Xuewu come out of the door, she greeted him.

Li Xuewu looked her over and asked with amusement, "Aren't you cold?"

"I'm used to it; I just came out of the guesthouse."

Zhang Songying was dressed a bit thinly, highlighting her good figure, but it was "beautifully freezing."

"I want to report to you about the renovation work of the Six Nations Hotel; after returning from Yangcheng, we summarized the inspection results, combined with the leader's opinions, and made a plan."

"Group Leader Li, you go ahead and get busy."

"See you later~"

Seeing that Li Xuewu had work here, the cadres who came out with him all greeted him and left first.

Li Xuewu nodded to acknowledge them and called Zhang Songying into the room.

He took a document from her hand and started reading it at the dining table.

"The management models of the hotels in Yangcheng are basically the same; what's different is personnel management and service style."

While Li Xuewu was reading the document, Zhang Songying was also sitting on the side reporting the key content.

The two sat at the entrance; people coming in and out unconsciously lowered their speaking volume, careful not to disturb them.

Li Xuewu read the document very quickly, using the pencil Zhang Songying gave him to make comments on the document.

Especially in management, he gave very standard suggestions regarding some service-related issues.

"Organize it again."

In about twenty minutes, he had gone through the whole plan and gave the points marked for modification to Zhang Songying.

"You take the inspection team to participate in tomorrow morning's meeting."

Li Xuewu stood up and said to Zhang Songying: "The construction unit undertaking the hotel renovation will also be there; we'll coordinate together then."

"Okay."

Zhang Songying packed up the documents and stood up; seeing that the canteen was already empty and seeing that Li Xuewu was about to leave, she hurriedly chased after him.

"Aren't you taking a noon nap?"

She looked at Li Xuewu's somewhat exhausted expression, raised her eyebrows and said, "I guess you won't rest well if you go back; why not go to the guesthouse to sleep?"

"No, I have to get busy."

Li Xuewu looked at her and smiled, "I'm afraid I won't rest well if I go to the guesthouse."

"Pfft~ You don't recognize a good heart~"

Zhang Songying scolded him with a smile, wrinkled her nose, and went towards the guesthouse.

And Li Xuewu walked towards the office; let alone not having rest time today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have any noon nap time for the next week.

Just as he entered the office, Sha Qizhi was standing by the desk holding the phone, signaling to Li Xuewu.

"Oh oh, Factory Director Bai, our leader is back, please wait a moment."

He said while signaling to Li Xuewu, indicating that this call was relatively important and needed him to answer.

"Hello, Factory Director Bai."

Li Xuewu walked behind the desk and sat down, took the phone from Sha Qizhi's hand, and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me just after coming back?"

"Miss you! I missed you so much I couldn't sleep!"

Bai Changmin of the Beijing Chemical Plant was also able to joke; he said on the phone with a smile, "Isn't it just missing you? I chased after you and ran back."

"Oh? You're back in Beijing?"

Li Xuewu was also very surprised by his call; he thought it was from Yangcheng.

Bai Changmin replied, "I knew you came back by train; I specially coordinated a plane ticket and arrived in Beijing one day before you."

"Then you aren't chasing me."

Li Xuewu smiled and picked up a fountain pen; Sha Qizhi was very observant and helped him unscrew it, and prepared document paper.

"It was me chasing you on the ground; you went to the sky!"

"Go away~"

Bai Changmin joked, and then said seriously to Li Xuewu, "Deputy Director Li, when can our project be launched?"

"Why? Are you in a hurry?"

Li Xuewu wrote several names on the document paper, such as "Chemical Plant," "Bai Changmin," and "Zhu Xiaolin."

He also wrote project names like paint, plastic, foam, sponge, and artificial rubber while on the phone.

He pointed at the document paper with his finger; Sha Qizhi understood and went to find the relevant investment and construction plan, opened it, and placed it by Li Xuewu's hand.

Li Xuewu held the phone and said, "I'm really not pretending; I really don't have time."

He held the phone while complaining, flipping through the chemical investment and construction plan, found the initial design investment and construction funds item, and had a rough idea in his heart.

"You just say how busy I am after coming back; I'm really chasing my heels with the back of my head..."

"Afternoon?"

"No time in the afternoon."

Li Xuewu held the document and said helplessly, "There is a food industry work meeting in the afternoon, a conference call with the Steel City, and a project docking meeting with the Glass Factory."

"Really, why would I lie to you~"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and helplessly, "You old brother just say, do I look like someone who talks nonsense? When have I not said one is one and two is two?"

"Tomorrow won't work either, really won't work."

Li Xuewu listened to Bai Changmin on the phone wanting to make an appointment for tomorrow, his fingers stroking the work schedule and explaining: "There are two meetings in our factory tomorrow morning, and there is a coordination meeting with the TV factory."

"Afternoon is even worse; the Second Machinery Factory is coming to coordinate the purchase of production line machinery, and our Director is not home, so I have to preside."

Bai Changmin listened to Li Xuewu rambling on the phone, really looking like he couldn't get busy, and knew clearly what he was thinking.

"I say Division Chief Li, we are friends."

He first played an emotional card, and then said on the phone, "The cooperation between our brother units is very smooth."

"This time our Director Zhu led a team to Yangcheng, just to develop more chemical industries; you know this better than I do."

"To put it bluntly, our factory has long wanted to do chemical products for the automotive industry, but there has never been an opportunity."

"This time is an opportunity; our leaders support it, we are friends, you just handle this matter!"

"Factory Director Bai, Old Brother Bai!"

Li Xuewu smiled while holding the phone, "Cooperation must be done; what is our relationship? Can I still mess things up?"

"Like this."

He slid his finger on the calendar under the glass on the desk, looked for a few days later, and said, "This Sunday, Beijing Hotel, my treat."

"No! Can we go outside to eat?"

Bai Changmin didn't dare to let Li Xuewu push him to the weekend; Director Zhu was still waiting for an answer.

This kid is too ghostly, with 180 hearts; if he really drags it out, the cooperation will become more passive the more it's dragged, and it will be harder to talk about.

The Steel Rolling Mill's momentum is very fierce now, more developed than the Chemical Plant.

If the Chemical Plant were really weak, this cooperation would be easy to talk about.

It's just this kind of strong-strong alliance that's scary; both sides want to eat the biggest piece of the profit cake, so a project has to be ground.

Director Zhu wants to see the development of the third industry as soon as possible, throw off the factory's burdens, and if there can be a little bit of profit, wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise?

The Steel Rolling Mill is engaged in the automotive industry; third-industry cooperation to produce automotive parts will definitely have gains.

And I heard that the Steel Rolling Mill is selecting sites in major cities across the country to establish offices, preparing for trade procurement and diversified operations.

Zhu Xiaolin's meaning is to take a ride through third-industry cooperation and see how the Steel Rolling Mill is developing.

If this train is really good to drive, they also want to achieve the goal of groupization.

Who the hell doesn't want to make progress? Who thinks their hat is too high?

Li Huai De can, why can't Zhu Xiaolin?

It can be said that the bragging Li Huai De did in Yangcheng really stimulated the nerves of many factory leaders.

The goal of groupization has quietly become the new struggle direction for these people.

Especially the high-spirited appearance of the big bosses of the 17th Factory, Import and Export Corporation, shipping, coal, and other industry groups made them very jealous.

Li Huai De is also damaging; his showing off is not to fill his own face, but to stir up trouble.

"The embankment higher than the shore will be destroyed by the waves."

Old Li is just being urged by the waves; he has hooked out the ambitions of these people, so when everyone thinks about groupization, he won't be the first bird to be shot.

But if you talk about competitive pressure, the Steel Rolling Mill has already embarked on the groupization path of industrial transformation and development, and multi-directional extension of enterprises.

On a 100-meter road, he ran 50 meters, only then calling those people to the starting line.

When the call for groupization rises, it will directly push the Steel Rolling Mill's progress.

The Steel Rolling Mill will be the first to groupize, which will stimulate those units behind; what really needs competition is them.

Zhu Xiaolin saw this point; he didn't want to be fooled by Old Li, the wave-urged one, and wanted to follow him.

You run 50 meters, I'll run 30 meters; if you trip, I can stop and run back.

Really cunning!

Can Li Xuewu let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to slaughter a chicken?

As long as you get on the track, let alone you running 30 meters, even if you take the first step, you have to pay the tuition first.

Old Li can't pave the way for you for nothing; the tuition that should be collected must be collected.

The development and transformation of the Steel Rolling Mill's industrial industry—Li Xuewu's goal is not to spend money.

Right, it's to achieve this goal at zero cost.

Then where does the money for transformation and development come from?

Pit foreign merchants, pit the locality, pit teammates; anyway, whichever is easy to use, he uses.

The Steel Rolling Mill wants to develop, naturally it's the right way to borrow other people's money to make its own money.

Does the Steel Rolling Mill have no money?

It has, and a lot; joint third industry, joint trade, small hardware industrial base, etc. —this year is absolutely a harvest year.

These words were said by Jing Yunong, not made up by Li Xuewu.

But even if you have money, you can't spend it randomly; this money must be spent on the back of the knife... the scabbard... the handle...

Anyway, now that you can cheat and pit, why use your own money? The Steel Rolling Mill's money is still useful!

Look at how wealthy Deputy Director Gu is now; with a wave of her pen, the third-phase plan for next year will directly launch seven buildings, solving the housing difficulties of 1,000 workers at once.

There are phases four, five, six, and seven next year.

If it's really built at this speed, the Steel Rolling Mill's worker village project will really be more than half completed.

What Deputy Secretary Gu said about using the whole of next year to thoroughly solve the problem of worker housing is really not bragging.

Why does she dare to say this? Because Li Xuewu is backing her up.

External cooperation focuses on not spending a cent, relying entirely on a mouth to fool.

Fooled so many projects for the Steel Rolling Mill, fooled so much capital space, giving her the courage to brag.

Third-industry cooperation between the Chemical Plant and the Steel Rolling Mill is just a beginning; there are more projects to follow.

Bai Changmin knows Li Xuewu's style too well; he is just manipulating him.

So he was very active on the phone, inviting Li Xuewu to come to their Chemical Plant for dinner tomorrow noon, the kind that he couldn't refuse.

He didn't wait for Li Xuewu to refuse, hung up the phone directly, and didn't give him room to speak.

Li Xuewu held the phone, shook his head with amusement, hung up the phone and muttered, "I'm not someone who gets soft after eating someone's food."

Sha Qizhi stood on the side and understood; this means that if you should pit, you still have to pit!

"Hello, Director Yu."

Seeing Yu Decai coming from the corridor, Sha Qizhi took the initiative to greet him.

Yu Decai shook hands with him, signaled towards Li Xuewu's office direction and asked, "Is the leader still busy?"

"A call from the Steel City, it's Deputy Director Dong."

Sha Qizhi explained, "He's been talking for a while, it shouldn't delay the meeting."

Saying this, he signaled towards the meeting room direction and said, "Deputy Group Leader Lang and Deputy Group Leader Bi are already there."

Just as he finished speaking, Wang Yu, who was in charge of finance in the Management Group, walked up from the stairs.

Yu Decai couldn't go in directly this time, so he stood at the door waiting for him, and said two sentences to Sha Qizhi at the same time.

His hearing was quite good; the door of Li Xuewu's office wasn't closed, and he could hear some of the conversation, seemingly talking about electronic industry work.

"We have to show some courage."

Li Xuewu stood by the desk, with his back to the office door, smoking a cigarette while talking on the phone with Dong Wenxue.

"The situation at the shipyard is also very complex; I gave him a trick, telling him to go to Yingcheng to beg for help, and then compensate with recruitment quotas."

"This matter is more complex."

Dong Wenxue understood Li Xuewu's suggestion and reminded him, "Asking for land and loans is not the same thing as asking for building materials."

"Then we have to talk with an open heart."

Li Xuewu took a hard drag on his cigarette and said to Dong Wenxue: "I still suggest you communicate more with the locality; the Steel City is such a small place, you can recognize everyone you should know in the time it takes to pee."

"You just go find them and say it clearly."

Li Xuewu finished the last drag, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and said: "What we want to invest in is not a production line, but an industrial cluster, the kind with dozens of production lines."

"Also, we want land for production and construction, and everything is on their land; what are they afraid of regarding loans? I haven't even mentioned tax exemption to support enterprises yet."

"Don't be polite to them; just ask one thing: do they want a big factory with a conservative estimate of 20,000 workers in the Steel City?!"

"If you want it, give land, give money, give people!"

"If you don't want it, we'll go talk to Tianjin!"

Li Xuewu deliberately said threatening words: "You just say that Tianjin is close to Beijing, convenient for the Steel Rolling Mill's industrial layout, and convenient for shipping."

"It's because our steel rolling mill is in the Steel City, and we want to accelerate the construction of the industrial system across the whole factory, so we chose the Steel City."

"Are you really planning not to spend a cent?"

Dong Wenxue listened to his student's sharp and mean words and scratched his head, saying helplessly: "If you do this, our popularity will be exhausted sooner or later~"

"Forget it~ I don't know you~"

Li Xuewu joked, "They just bully you for being a humble gentleman and not wanting to be the same as them."

"Anyway, our conditions have been raised; as long as they are met, we will start working, and first recruit 2,000 people in the Steel City and surrounding cities to go fishing!"

Li Xuewu patted the table with a smile and said, "I don't believe the leaders of the Steel City can't be anxious when they see this situation!"

"Hehe~"

Dong Wenxue also laughed on the phone, praising his trick for having miraculous effects.

Obviously, the settlement of an industrial cluster will inevitably bring about a certain industrial talent siphon phenomenon.

You can call it a human vortex, it's the same meaning.

These 2,000 people's bait is thrown down, and the Steel Rolling Mill will set a hard condition of middle school graduation; let's see who is anxious then.

If the Steel City doesn't work hard, it might attract other big sharks.

Cities are very sensitive to the control of talent; if a vortex appears in the Steel City, the unemployed youth of other cities will inevitably flock here.

By then, if others take the initiative to invite the Steel Rolling Mill to build a factory, wouldn't it solve more employment difficulties for unemployed youth?

This is called reverse thinking—fishing in the Steel City and giving the other party a sense of crisis.

Anyway, Li Xuewu made it clear to Dong Wenxue on the phone that the electronic industry base must be built.

The investment in the infrastructure part is very large; the Steel Rolling Mill can take it out itself, but it is unfavorable for the development of other projects next year.

So rather than watching the finance side unable to squeeze out much, it's better not to want a cent from the Steel Rolling Mill and solve this problem directly from the hands of the locality.

Anyway, if this money is thrown down, it will also be heard in the Steel City.

Including infrastructure workers, building materials, taxes, etc., they will all stay in the Steel City; what are they unwilling to do?

Now it depends on who can hold their breath and whose dirty tricks are more damaging.

In terms of being bad, Li Xuewu never yields.

Ending the conference call, coming out of the office, nodding to Sha Qizhi who was waiting for him, he was about to walk to the meeting room together.

Just as he said a word, he saw Liu Haizhong standing not far away in the corridor with a hurried smile, trying to please him.

Liu Haizhong had been here for a while, standing in the corridor waiting for Li Xuewu.

He actually had the heart to go into Li Xuewu's office to find him, but in the time he hesitated, he saw three or four division-level and deputy division-level leaders in the corridor.

Listening to the secretary and them exchanging pleasantries, he knew these were all called over by Li Xuewu for a meeting, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The image of the naughty boy in the courtyard had long been blurred, replaced by the dazzling brilliance of Li Xuewu walking in the Steel Rolling Mill.

Before, he was the Second Uncle; now, who is he?

These division-level leaders were all waiting for Li Xuewu in the meeting room; how dare he go to the office to disturb him.

Especially since the other party was still talking on the phone, talking about things he had a judgment on in his heart, knowing it was a big event for the factory.

It was hard to wait until Li Xuewu came out; he tried to squeeze out a smile, wanting to go up and greet him, but was intercepted by someone from the Engineering Division.

Engineering had a project that needed to be approved as soon as possible, and finance needed the signature of the leader in charge; Deputy Director Jing was not home, so only Director Li could sign.

But Director Li was also not home today, so he couldn't wait another day.

Lang Zhennan of Engineering brought people over here when he came to the meeting; he knew very well that Li Xuewu's signature was more useful than anyone else's.

Li Xuewu did the same; in terms of business, as long as it was normal procedure and within Li Huai De's requirements, he signed his opinion.

Note, it's not just signing the name, but signing the opinion.

This represents that he, who is in charge of coordinating project work, agrees, and can temporarily start working, with the remaining parts waiting for Director Li to return.

Just such a small room for maneuver—who knows how many problems it can solve in government units.

What are government office staff most afraid of?

It must be that they have urgent work in their hands, and none of the leaders who can make decisions are at home.

Sign on behalf of someone over the phone?

With so much work, who would sign on your behalf?

Li Huai De also knew very well that his running around would delay things, so he handed the coordination work to Li Xuewu.

As long as it was signed with Li Xuewu's opinion, he only needed to look at the opinion afterwards and sign it, which was much easier.

Here, after sending away the Engineering people, Li Xuewu didn't ignore Liu Haizhong, but walked to his side and stopped, asking, "Looking for me?"

"Yes, something to find you for."

Liu Haizhong saw Li Xuewu was so busy, and had already retreated in his heart, thinking that if Li Xuewu pretended not to see him, he would just bird-quietly go back.

Now seeing Li Xuewu take the initiative to talk to him, his whole person was different; excited, or called moved to the point of choking.

Li Xuewu looked at him, pointed to his watch, and said, "I have a meeting; either you say it quickly now, or wait until I finish the meeting."

"Say it now, it's about Guangtian."

Liu Haizhong didn't stretch it anymore, didn't dare to delay time, and hurriedly said like a bald mouth: "He was set a quota to go to the Steel City, this... this is really too far."

"What's wrong with the Steel City?"

Li Xuewu looked Liu Haizhong up and down; he was wearing cotton work clothes, with a few oil stains, and holding cotton gloves in his hand, clutching them tangledly.

"Don't want to go?"

"Yes, it's not... not very appropriate."

Liu Haizhong said with very little confidence, slightly bowing his waist: "It's too far, I can't take care of the family, his mother is in that situation, my family..."

"Is this the reason?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't you understand the significance of this batch of people going to the Steel City?"

Looking at Liu Haizhong's somewhat cramped appearance, Li Xuewu changed the way of asking: "Did you ask Liu Guangtian's opinion when you came to me to cancel his quota?"

"I..."

Liu Haizhong tilted his head in a dilemma, not knowing how to explain.

Li Xuewu reached out and patted his arm, saying: "Alright, go back to work; this is a good thing, ah."

After he finished speaking, he stepped towards the meeting room; he couldn't let those cadres wait for him alone for so long.

Sha Qizhi stopped Liu Haizhong, who still wanted to speak, and reminded him: "Master Liu, the quota for going to the Steel City is selected; you know this, right?"

After asking this, he emphasized: "Everyone is fighting to go; don't pit your own son."

After speaking, he signaled to the meeting room and said: "I'm busy here; you go ask around more, and discuss it well with your son, okay."

No coldness, no politeness, and no airs.

Liu Haizhong felt that the Steel City his son was going to was not as far away as the gap between his status and Li Xuewu's.
