Chapter 912: Little Expert at Persuading People
"I still can't figure it out!"
Coming out of the gate of the Steel Rolling Mill, looking at the sentry guards retreating outside the car window, Nakamura Shuji's brow never relaxed.
The business representative sitting in the same car was also full of surprise and absurdity, not knowing how this procurement meeting had turned into this appearance.
Not only did they lose the price bottom line, but they didn't even pick up their underpants.
The president in the back seat was still muttering, just like when he walked out of the office building, muttering, beeping, like a mental patient.
"Hiss~~~ Really strange~"
Nakamura Shuji's voice drifted in the carriage and reached everyone's ears.
"How did he observe it? My expression was already trying very hard to remain restrained. Why could he still see it?"
He was like a child lost in a big forest, panicked and confused.
At this moment, he pulled the business representative to let the other party look at his face, and asked suspiciously: "What can you see on my face?"
"..."
"Sorry, President!"
The business representative had the heart to scold people. The president was possessed. Besides eyes, nose, and mouth, what else could be on his face?
"I am really powerless, sorry, I can't see it."
"Hiss~~~"
Nakamura Shuji didn't make things difficult for the other party, but raised his head, took a deep breath.
He recalled everything that happened in the office, and his hands were involuntarily stroking this "Criminal Psychology" given to him by Li Xuewu.
Could it be that there was an answer he hadn't figured out in this book?
Or did Li-san really have this magical ability to judge cases by observing people's micro-expressions?
If you say that you can judge the truth or falsehood of what the other party said from the changes in people's expressions, he could still believe this.
But judging the numbers he wanted to know from the changes in expressions, this... this is too bluffing!
"Akita-kun,"
He still wouldn't give up and raised his head, looked at the business representative beside him, and asked: "Can you help me confirm again, has the price base list really not been opened?"
"This... President,"
The business representative said very embarrassedly: "If you didn't have any other problems with the situation you saw in the office, then I can only judge by the traces of the use of the document."
He also understood the reason for the president's entanglement, took out that base list, opened it again in front of the president, signaled the creases on the document, and said: "What I can be sure of is that the number of times this document was opened is absolutely not many."
"Hmm... I see."
Nakamura Shuji raised his hand, pinched his somewhat numb brow, and said in a somewhat complaining tone: "I was careless at the time, I didn't dodge, he suddenly attacked me..."
"..."
The business representative looked at the boss's shirking and was quite speechless. You were drinking tea and chatting with the other party in the room, and we were sitting outside.
How would we know what happened in the room? We just saw the interpreter take the document twice, and you came out looking like a lost lamb.
We didn't even dare to ask. We just knew that you signed a contract with them, and the price was cut to the knees. This business... unprecedented, and no one will ever come after.
If it were really good-neighborly and win-win cooperation, that would be fine, but looking at the boss's appearance, it was like being raped, and he didn't even know who did it.
Just from the muttering words in the boss's mouth, they only understood a general idea—the boss was cheated.
The key is that the boss agreed to this scam, and he even swore to them that the whole process was open and there was no problem.
There was indeed no problem, but what problem happened with this price?
Speaking to the end, the boss himself was confused, not knowing how he ended up confronting the other party.
Nakamura Shuji was also thinking about this problem. He went to negotiate well, how did he end up on the gambling table in a muddle?
The key is that he was very sure of the fairness of the gamble between the two sides. When he was docking the procurement machinery price with him, the other party's hand was pressing on the price base list and didn't move away.
This matter was seen with his own eyes, absolutely not fake.
Unless the other party had X-ray eyes and could see it without opening it, otherwise it was absolutely impossible to know.
It was impossible for a traitor to appear on his side and hand over the low price to the other party.
He was thinking about all possibilities, but he couldn't think of how the other party guessed these prices from his face.
Of course, the prices guessed by the other party weren't all accurate.
There were so many machines, and he didn't ask them all. Ten types of machines!
Ten types were enough, because he was stunned when the price of the first machine was guessed by the other party.
The upper and lower range didn't exceed five yuan. Do you dare to believe it?
The other party stared tightly at his eyes, as if he could drill into his brain to check his memory.
By the time it got to the end, he didn't dare to look directly into Li Xuewu's eyes, fearing that the other party really obtained information this way.
But even so, the other party guessed eight out of ten machine prices, and the two that were wrong were only off by less than ten yuan.
What could he do? Admit defeat if you lose the gamble.
With such a large procurement order, he knew he had fallen into the other party's trap the moment he signed the contract.
And the reason he didn't refuse to sign or breach the contract was, first of all, that the loss of this order was completely incomparable to the content under the framework agreement of cooperation between the three parties and the Steel Rolling Mill.
Secondly, it was the procurement price of this order. He was doing national trade, so of course, he knew the water content in it.
The other party's pricing was nothing more than wringing out the water content, and he would just lose a sum.
If you really want to talk about hurting muscles and bones, it really wouldn't go that far. After all, his machinery import and export stock company had been operating for many years, and he could still control the costs.
Paying tuition, learning management knowledge—this was a situation he encountered many times at the beginning of his business.
His predecessors in the business world taught him that for business, there is no such thing as always making money, and don't be annoyed if you lose; that is the tuition you need to pay.
He wasn't afraid of paying tuition, he was afraid of not learning.
Today, this young and powerful Li-san gave him a lesson.
When signing, Li-san also generously expressed that if it wasn't convenient for him, he could choose not to sign.
Come to the Steel Rolling Mill tomorrow, and he would rearrange a negotiation meeting, where they could set up a formation and negotiate face-to-face.
From beginning to end, Li-san didn't look at the price base list he provided, but since the other party could guess the price from his expression, what else was there to negotiate?
Another thing, the other party's atmosphere and benevolence also made him unable to agree to Li-san's kindness.
He was a businessman, but also a resounding man. How could he give up his dignity for such a little bit of profit?
Still that sentence, admit defeat if you lose the gamble, he was willing to pay tuition.
And the other party's words and deeds, and this "Criminal Psychology" presented, were regarded as treasures by him.
His business representative was reminding him in words that he might have been cheated, or that he wasn't sober at the time and made a wrong decision.
But he reflected on it and was very sure that his thoughts at the time weren't bewitched by Li-san.
It could only be said that the other party used his psychology, using language and aura to interfere with his judgment.
This also made him attach more importance to the book in his hand. He hoped to master the human heart too.
This kind of ability is too powerful. You can peek into the other party's psychology and obtain the other party's thoughts in a few words. It can be called extremely powerful!
This tuition was paid too worthily. He wanted to learn, he wanted to learn this kind of ability, and he also wanted to master the ability to peek into the other party's bottom price in future business negotiations!
Li-san can! Why can't I?!
"Leader, how did you do it?"
When the clerk of the Economic and Trade Office was organizing the contracts signed today, looking at Deputy Director Li drinking tea lightly, he couldn't help but ask.
Li Xuewu just glanced at him and reminded him lightly: "This is a secret. Knowing too much is no good for you."
"... Leader, I read few books, but don't scare me~"
They had gone around Yangcheng with Li Xuewu and were familiar with him. They knew that the leader liked to joke.
He could also see that the leader was in a good mood, thinking about asking more and learning more.
"Looking at you feather fan and silk scarf, waving your hands, the masts and oars are turned into ashes and smoke, I am really surging with emotion, unable to understand for a while, just want to learn a trick or two from you."
"Read too many novels?"
Li Xuewu looked at him amusedly and said: "Still a trick or two, do you take me for a Jianghu hero? Or a coach who sells arts."
"How can a Jianghu art seller compare to you!"
This kid's mouth was also very sweet. He took the thermos and added water to Li Xuewu's teacup, complimenting him one after another: "Let alone your kung fu, just this ability to look at people!"
He put the teacup away, and two fingers gestured at his own eyes to signal: "One look determines life and death!"
"Go~ don't talk nonsense~"
Li Xuewu laughed lightly, scolded the other party and said: "Do you take me for having hidden weapons in my eyes? Still determining life and death."
He was laughing and joking in his mouth, signaled under the coffee table and said: "I also told the Japanese businessman, it's all in that book. If you like it, take one and read it yourself."
"I've read it~"
The young man smiled, put away the thermos, walked to Li Xuewu's desk and explained: "I read your book when it was just published, I just didn't see this kung fu of yours."
As he said this, what he did with his hands was still the gesture of shooting lasers from his eyes just now, as if he really believed that Li Xuewu had this ability.
"I just want to know, how did you see that price base list from the other party's face."
"Didn't I say it all? It's written in the book."
Li Xuewu then dismissed him and said: "This is knowledge in psychology. You have to have accumulation, study and exercise slowly to reach the realm."
"Really?"
The young man obviously still didn't believe it, but Li Xuewu said so, and he wasn't easy to refute.
However, he also had a ghost idea. He stood in front of Li Xuewu's desk, looked at Li Xuewu's eyes and asked: "Leader, what do you think I am thinking in my heart now?"
"Hmm?"
Li Xuewu raised his head amusedly, looked from the document in his hand to the other party's eyes, and said: "Let me see~ you are thinking..."
"He wants to invite me to dinner at noon!"
Before Li Xuewu finished speaking, Sha Qizhi's voice came from the door.
The young man turned his head and greeted embarrassedly: "Hello, Director Sha."
"I was wondering why you wouldn't go back."
Sha Qizhi smiled and pointed at him, saying: "So you are here messing with the leader. Quick, Director Wu is looking for you for the contract!"
"Hey! Yes!"
The young man smiled, took the document on the table, and secretly signaled Li Xuewu: "Leader, let's look again when we have time!"
After speaking, he didn't care about Sha Qizhi's laughing and scolding, and ran out of the office with a smile.
"This kid~"
Sha Qizhi said with a smile, and under Li Xuewu's signal, sat opposite the desk.
"Leader, let me report to you about the work of the Foreign Affairs Office."
He opened his notebook, but looked at Li Xuewu and reported: "The reception work for the Japanese businessmen is over. Next, it is mainly the visiting business of the commercial tour group."
"At the same time, we must also complete the follow-up work arrangements for this trade. According to your instructions, we have made a plan."
Sha Qizhi said while handing the document at his side to Li Xuewu. It was still the habit of being a secretary; the document was facing Li Xuewu, presented in an open state.
Li Xuewu looked at it, asked in a joking tone: "Is the work going smoothly? Is anyone making things difficult for you?"
"Independent office structure, luckily I haven't encountered this situation yet, all thanks to your past guidance."
Sha Qizhi answered very cautiously, fearing that Li Xuewu would worry, and fearing that he wouldn't be able to explain if something happened later.
Li Xuewu nodded slowly, his eyes still on the plan, but his heart was satisfied with the step he had taken.
If Xu Ning was the first cadre with considerable ability he cultivated and taught, then Sha Qizhi was the cadre who had been with him the longest, learned the most, and had the greatest potential.
At the beginning, he was in a hurry to use Xu Ning, Han Yating, Han Zhan, and others, which was completely forced.
With Fu Bin in front, and Li Huai taking advantage of the trend to take off, Dong Wen didn't set an ambush. If he didn't arrange for people to top up, how could today's position be stable?
Even so, things in the factory were also difficult to handle, pressing the gourd and floating the ladle.
The Steel Rolling Mill had always had other voices interfering with the normal progress of work, and the branch factories also had various intrigues, unable to be peaceful.
Li Huai had great ambitions and wanted to act with the heart of a Bodhisattva, but he had to perform the role of a Vajra's anger. He was also very helpless.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning."
Li Xuewu put the plan he had read on the desk, raised his head and said to Sha Qizhi: "As far as you are concerned, as far as the Foreign Affairs Office is concerned, it is the same. It's nothing more than seeing how you walk and how you walk steadily."
"The first shot of the Foreign Affairs Office wasn't perfect. You have to summarize the experience and lessons and make adjustments in time."
"The members of the commercial tour group are not necessarily what you see or what you understand, and the reception work isn't just about finishing the understanding of the customs of their country."
Li Xuewu pointed to the plan in his hand and specifically exhorted: "Communicate more, contact more, and in the capacity of the Steel Rolling Mill's Foreign Affairs Office, determine the itinerary with them and actively provide solutions to problems that appear during the trip."
"Of course, this isn't asking you to please them or flatter them, but to do service, valuable service."
He looked at Sha Qizhi and asked: "What is valuable service?"
"It means that all the work you do today is for one goal, which is to provide guidance and foundation for the Steel Rolling Mill to carry out cooperation on various projects..."
"Yes."
Sha Qizhi's attitude was very upright, his body sat straight, listening carefully to Li Xuewu's lecture.
His mentality had changed very well, and the relationship between him and Li Xuewu had quietly changed.
Before, he was a secretary who followed every day; now he is a pawn who opens up the wasteland. From the tone of speaking to the way of doing things, he had intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from Li Xuewu.
This wasn't because of the change in identity, but an attitude that should be self-reflected.
If you don't grasp the scale, you will inevitably suffer the backlash of this physical distance in the relationship. From Peng Xiaoli's perspective, he was a bit ignorant of the depth.
Of course, Peng Xiaoli followed Xiao Zihong into Li Xuewu's office and saw Sha Qizhi reporting work, and didn't feel surprised at all.
He still hadn't figured out what he was running back and forth for.
Of course, Peng Xiaoli also knew that something had happened, and it was related to confidentiality, but he didn't know who it was aimed at.
The leader didn't explain when arranging the work, and Deputy Team Leader Xiao didn't explain clearly when leading the team.
Anyway, he was in the clouds and mist, and had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
He really didn't know that being a secretary had to deal with such business.
Smiling and greeting Sha Qizhi, he took the thermos to make tea for Deputy Team Leader Xiao, and refilled hot water for the leader's teacup.
When serving Director Sha, he was stopped by him.
Sha Qizhi's hand was on the teacup, smiling and saying to him: "The work report is finished, I will hand over the time to Deputy Team Leader Xiao."
He stood up, took the teacup to put it away, but was actively taken over by Peng Xiaoli.
Sha Qizhi also looked at him with a smile and let him be.
Watching the interaction between the two, Xiao Zihong also looked at Li Xuewu with interest. Seeing him drinking tea calmly, a playful smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
After Sha Qizhi left, Peng Xiaoli went to tidy up the documents on the table, and Xiao Zihong reported to Li Xuewu.
His report was different from the secretary's report. Secretaries are used to reporting work in chronological order, while he used a flashback technique, starting from the training ground.
The difference in identity and the angle from which the position looks at the problem are different, and the understanding and opinions of the work are naturally different.
In Xiao Zihong's view, although this matter was very urgent, it was also a minor ailment, which was nothing to the security group.
It was even more incomparable to the domineering image of Li Xuewu in his impression. The other party dared to touch the tiger's butt at this time; it was really an old birthday star eating arsenic.
"My opinion is thunderous means, deterring the small."
The opinion he gave was very direct. I don't know if it was because of the time in the Security Division that brought some changes to his personality, but the words spoken were quite tough.
"Judging from various signs, the other party is organized, premeditated, and carrying out activities with destructive goals, which is exactly the object of our severe crackdown."
Xiao Zihong pointed at the office desk with his finger, and said with a serious expression: "Don't worry about who is standing behind them. Start from the bottom and comb from the head. I really want to see what kind of thing is standing behind these monsters."
"Not necessarily~"
Li Xuewu waved his hand at Peng Xiaoli, signaling him to move the documents on the table away; they were all things he had already processed.
"My opinion is roughly the same as the leader's. I don't approve of doing it with great fanfare."
"If you really want to do it at this time, you won't suppress the work of the Confidentiality Department. After all, it's more convenient for them to operate, isn't it?"
"So~"
Li Xuewu twisted his fountain pen, scratched his temple, and said to Xiao Zihong with a very gentle attitude: "Fishing requires bait, fishing requires patience, and determination."
"If you don't fish to the end, how can you know what fish are in this pond? If you don't fish to the end, how can you know which fish here is the most bastard?"
His tone changed from kind to gloomy, just between a few words, making Xiao Zihong's relaxed expression become serious.
"Does Director Li mean...?"
"What Director Li means is not important."
Li Xuewu looked at Xiao Zihong and said seriously: "As long as this kind of thing happens in the Steel Rolling Mill, it is challenging the authority of the security group!"
He knew very well why Xiao Zihong took the initiative to propose a plan for rapid crackdown and rapid problem-solving, because the other party also knew that this matter was not feasible.
Xiao Zihong wasn't a rookie who had just come to work at the Steel Rolling Mill. He didn't know everything about what happened at the Steel Rolling Mill recently, but he wasn't a headless fly either.
Could his soft-faced personality from before become a hero in these few months?
He was advancing by retreating. He clearly knew that Li Xuewu would absolutely not take strong action this time, so he took the initiative to appear radical.
In this way, Li Xuewu would take his attitude into account and naturally wouldn't let him preside over this work again.
Originally, this matter should have been the responsibility of Deputy Team Leader Chu, but it was handed to him.
It would be fine if it were just a simple confidentiality case. This kind of internal dispute in the factory—even if he were stupid again, he wouldn't jump into it.
I believe Li Xuewu let him handle this matter, and there was such a meaning.
He didn't want to be stained with dust, and every time he was used as a vanguard, Xiao Zihong had enough.
It was impossible to carry the pot again; he would never carry the pot again in this life.
But this pot wasn't something he didn't want to carry. Li Xuewu tapped the desk with his finger and said: "Since they are so ignorant of depth and making trouble at an inappropriate time, then find them out and beat them all down!"
The farce that happened at the gate of the Steel Rolling Mill on Thursday seemed to have disappeared, but those who cared knew that this matter was still fermenting.
The security group of the Steel Rolling Mill had had concrete actions since Friday. A batch of people were selected for training, a batch of people were transferred to the capital, a batch of people were transferred out of the capital, a batch of people were reassigned positions...
Those who didn't know thought that there was a problem with the security group. In fact, in this kind of personnel change, the pattern of the security group had long changed.
Many people might not be clear that the cadres of the security group weren't just internal transfers, but also expanding outward.
This represented that the influence of Dong Wen and Li Xuewu was spreading to every corner of the Steel Rolling Mill.
Especially Li Xuewu's concurrent post as Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office, in charge of coordinating various production and trade projects of the Steel Rolling Mill.
Personnel, finance, logistics, etc. —he was involved in all aspects of work.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Director Li was laying out, and Deputy Director Li was also laying out.
The hidden meaning here was likely that Director Li was encouraging Deputy Director Li to lay out.
The personnel changes in the security group quietly drove the personnel changes in other groups. The entire factory organ was moving, really pulling one hair and moving the whole body.
The ones who mastered this change were Director Li and Deputy Director Gu. The two had always been online in their control of personnel rights.
Precisely because the security group started to move, other groups didn't have big public opinion when facing personnel and organizational adjustments.
The calm on the surface was actually an undercurrent surging inside the Steel Rolling Mill.
It was different from the big study activity some time ago. This time, two giant hands were fighting in the muddy water.
The impact brought was to make the Japanese businessman visit event, which should have been boiling in the Steel Rolling Mill, become something everyone tacitly refused to mention.
This kind of silence seemed to have become a unique ability of people in this era. They seemed to have seen life and death, and had no reaction to anything else.
If they weren't allowed to say it, they wouldn't say it; if they weren't allowed to talk about it, they wouldn't talk about it; if they weren't allowed to ask, they wouldn't ask. In the wind and waves of the big study, they really cherished a quiet life.
On Friday, Li Xuewu signed a series of mechanical and technical procurement agreements on behalf of the Steel Rolling Mill, which met the common interests of both sides under the framework of cooperation with Japanese businessmen.
This matter wasn't written in detail in everyone's cognition, let alone published in newspapers.
It was just quiet, as if spending so much money and picking up such a cheap deal wouldn't cause any ripples in the Steel Rolling Mill.
Li Xuewu also hoped more for such a state. During the most intense period of the big study activity, he tried his best to make a fortune in silence.
He really didn't want the Steel Rolling Mill to touch this minefield at the most critical moment of development.
If you really want to say why he risked the world's disapproval and chose to contact Japanese businessmen, Italy, and other foreign businessmen during this period, this still had to be considered from comprehensive environmental factors.
History is a little girl, let it be painted and dressed up. What you see isn't necessarily real.
Before Li Xuewu personally experienced it and went to Yangcheng, his social circle in the industrial field was only limited to the surroundings of the Steel Rolling Mill.
And only after arriving in Yangcheng did he know that there were so many factories in the mainland cooperating with foreign businessmen.
Although there was an import and export corporation separated in the middle, the specific business was still negotiated by both sides.
Especially after understanding diversified trade means such as compensation trade from Wufengxing's channels, Li Xuewu felt even more that this was an opportunity.
No one understood the opportunities and wealth contained in this era better than him. What is said here isn't an individual, but a collective.
Ten years can change an enterprise, can change an industrial system, and can also change the social status of a country.
For his own ideals, Li Xuewu finally wanted to do something, even if it was... letting Director Li take risks.
Of course, he wouldn't take risks. Li Xuewu's title in the offices of various leading groups was Deputy Director, and the positive one must be Li Huai.
Li Xuewu could say that he had always been performing business management work under the wise leadership of Director Li.
So if there were achievements, Director Li would share them with him, and if something really happened...
It was him!
It was all him!
It was all him who let me do this!
It was in this quiet, peaceful, and trusting atmosphere that Li Xuewu, together with Li Huai, led the technical and business team to visit the 17th Factory delegation participating in the meeting in Beijing on Saturday, November 8th.
The 17th Factory had always been absorbing foreign technology, and their design and technical team had always been solving technology introduction and localization.
This included equipment restricted by foreign countries that couldn't be produced independently, as well as imported mechanical equipment that was particularly expensive.
There was actually a very interesting connection here. The later developed mechatronics discipline applied this theory.
In Yangcheng, both sides had already consulted on the auto parts procurement agreement. It was precisely because they knew that the other party would participate in the 5th Annual Negotiation of the Japanese-Chinese Comprehensive Trade held in Beijing, so the procurement consultation meeting was extended to Beijing.
The other party was led by a deputy factory director. Li Huai didn't feel that the status was unequal. The other party was a group, so what did he have to be inferior about?
Old Li believed in his heart that the other party wouldn't be arrogant for a few days. Li Xuewu said that he would also be a collective leader in the future!
Perhaps because of the foreshadowing of the Yangcheng meeting and the opportunity of the Japanese businessmen's talks in Beijing, the negotiation of the procurement agreement between the two sides went very smoothly.
Some details were finally decided by Li Huai and the other party's deputy general manager, or compromised, or each took a step back. Everyone was very satisfied with the negotiation results.
The Steel Rolling Mill realized a supply chain-style production mode in the automotive industry, while the 17th Factory had one more auto parts purchaser.
As long as there were no quality and delivery problems, then both sides were the most perfect partners.
Beijing Automobile Factory?
There was really a problem here. To put it bluntly, the other party was somewhat afraid of the concept car that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was about to test drive.
Concept car was still the naming given by Li Xuewu, purely hand-assembled, not yet on the production line for large-scale production, used as an experimental commercial car.
The Beijing Automobile Factory also exhibited in Yangcheng, so they naturally knew very well where Director Li was bragging.
What?
The Steel Rolling Mill also wants to build cars?
This kind of news could be heard frequently a few years ago, and now such fools are rare.
But! When the leaders of the Ministry of Industry came forward and invited them to dinner, Li Huai's speech during the meal really gave the other party a fright.
What is this, overtaking on a bend!
The Beijing Automobile Factory was actually the same as the 17th Factory; there weren't many fist products they could take out.
They had produced the first motorcycle, the first small sedan, and the first light truck.
However, the only one that really fell into their hands and could realize industrial production was that famous 212 Jeep.
Of course, with the mergers and efforts over the years, there were also light trucks and motorcycles in continuous production.
But the application market for these two was relatively small. When they were just produced in the 1950s, they were still facing the market and could be purchased by citizens.
Now, I heard that the motorcycle business wasn't very good, and the sales of light trucks were considered passable.
Originally, only 212 was the most capable, but a reckless youth appeared beside them.
This reckless youth didn't engage in full-category auto parts production, nor did he engage in core technology research and development. He plunged into the automobile production industry and relied entirely on plagiarism.
Of course, they had to disparage the Steel Rolling Mill in their mouths and say some unpleasant things, but in fact, when Li Huai invited the leaders above to help and transferred workers from the Beijing Automobile Factory to help, the other party had already started to set an ambush.
The automobile research situation here, the other party had already started to collect intelligence.
Although they didn't know the specific design parameters, judging from the intelligence obtained, the car was very different from the original Willys.
Just looking at the appearance, you absolutely couldn't see the shadow of Willys.
However, as long as someone with a heart takes a look, they will definitely be able to guess where this car was plagiarized from.
They also guessed based on intelligence that the engine and transmission and other parts independently produced by the Steel Rolling Mill might have been optimized and improved, but absolutely not too much.
After all, the time was too short and too urgent; no one could realize the research and development of a new engine and transmission system in such a short time.
But even if it was improved, as long as it guaranteed the power of the original Willys, in the eyes of the Beijing Automobile Factory, this was also a threat.
We make Jeeps, and you make them too! Isn't this choking the line!
So on Saturday afternoon, when Li Xuewu led the team to the Beijing Automobile Factory for parts procurement agreement negotiations, they touched ice.
The attitude of the Beijing Automobile Factory's negotiation representative was neither salty nor light, but what he said was like nonsense.
It was just parts procurement, but it was negotiated by the other party as technology introduction and support.
That is to say, the Beijing Automobile Factory regarded the parts procurement business as technical support for the Steel Rolling Mill's automobile industry.
Don't underestimate this kind of negotiation trap; this is blatantly grabbing.
If this were agreed to, wouldn't it set the name of a godfather and a godson!
Li Xuewu wouldn't carry this scolding name, and he would make the Steel Rolling Mill's automobile industry always carry a godfather.
So after repeatedly confirming whether the other party was willing to change the terms of the cooperation agreement and getting a negative reply, Li Xuewu made the decision to suspend the negotiation process.
The meeting ended in such a very unpleasant atmosphere. When the meeting was dismissed, Li Xuewu didn't even want to shake hands with the person in charge of the other party.
When accepting an interview with the Industrial News, he stated that the Beijing Automobile Factory lacked a kind of confidence and tolerance in facing the market.
The Industrial News was originally arranged by the above to do special interviews, mainly because the leaders of the Ministry of Industry were more willing to see a big market where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend in the automotive industry.
After the negotiation with the 17th Factory ended, Li Huai and the deputy factory director of the 17th Factory were interviewed by the Industrial News respectively.
When it came to the Beijing Automobile Factory, not only was Li Xuewu played once, but even the reporters from the Ministry of Industry began to frown.
They all came with tasks. The tasks said clearly: the negotiation between the Steel Rolling Mill and the 17th Factory was smooth, the negotiation between the Steel Rolling Mill and the Beijing Automobile Factory was smooth, and Beijing added another car-building enterprise.
The headlines and drafts were already being written, but looking at the two sides coming out of the conference room, how could this problem appear!
Don't be surprised at the reporter's reaction. At this time, not only is the economy planned, but many jobs are also planned.
In the plan, both sides should have reached cooperation in a united and harmonious atmosphere and realized another victory in the automobile industry under the care of the leaders of the Ministry of Industry.
Since the Steel Rolling Mill's negotiation representative spoke out, and it was so sharp, pointing directly at the Beijing Automobile Factory for having no confidence and tolerance, then what did the cadres of the Beijing Automobile Factory say?
"The Steel Rolling Mill should focus more on the production of basic industrial materials and increase investment in technical research on the steel rolling industry, rather than this kind of greedy meritocracy of drawing a tiger like a cat."
Good, it's really a loss that it's in a planned social system. When a reporter faces such explosive news, the first thing he thinks of isn't exposure to attract eyeballs, but worrying about whether the cooperation between the two sides can still proceed.
Secondly, what he thought of was to report this news to the competent leader in time, and then report it to the leaders of the Ministry of Industry by the competent leader.
Anyway, no one stood by and watched the fun, all regretting and annoyed that the two large enterprises didn't reach cooperation.
They felt even more a pity because the goal of Beijing adding another automobile industry couldn't be realized immediately.
Therefore, Li Xuewu hadn't returned to the factory yet, and Li Huai had already received the complete news.
When he knocked on the door of Director Li's office and prepared to report, he saw the look of anger on the other party's face.
"You don't have to blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's Old Feng who is making trouble!"
Li Huai threw the medicine box in his hand and complained angrily: "He just looks down on us, he just thinks we are a grass-roots team singing a messy play!"
"But does he have the ability to sing this rival play with us? Hiding behind and playing dark tricks, what kind of hero is that!"
Li Huai scolded for a long time in front of Li Xuewu in the office and still felt angry. He wanted to grab the cigarette on the table, but held back.
"Damn the bastard!"
"..."
Li Xuewu really couldn't pick up this conversation. He knew that the top leader of the Beijing Automobile Factory was surnamed Feng, but he didn't know who it was specifically.
The one who negotiated with him today was actually just a sales section chief, really looking up to his identity and giving him a half-level reception.
"People being arrogant also have the capital to be arrogant."
Li Xuewu waved his hand, didn't let Li Haiyang, who was watching at the door, come in, bent down and picked up the medicine box on the ground, persuading in his mouth.
"They are the first trial company to hang a sign in the twelve 'trusts' of the ministries. The eldest son and eldest grandson, inheriting the family business."
Old Li didn't know if this damaging kid was persuading himself or arching fire for himself.
He took the medicine box handed by Li Xuewu and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Recently, he was also under great pressure. Li Xuewu saw him smoking again, and now eating medicine was just resisting stubbornly, fighting the last struggle with quitting smoking.
What Li Xuewu said actually happened in October 1964, when the country required the establishment of twelve trust enterprises in various departments.
Trust is a bad word abroad, but it wasn't at this time in the country.
At this time, there was no such thing as monopoly and anti-monopoly, the whole country was a game of chess.
Why did Li Xuewu say that people were the eldest son and eldest grandson? You can tell from the factory sign.
CN Automobile Industry Company Beijing Branch.
Is it arrogant?
When people started their business in 1964, they had four branches, two general factories, and seventy-five directly affiliated factories under them.
Beiqi, Beichi, Tangchi, Yifu, Erfu...
Except for the secretary who was still called secretary, the rest of the leadership team were all called general manager, deputy general manager, and chief engineer.
Li Huai of the Steel Rolling Mill also had this dream, but he had been working hard and had never realized it.
He was angry, all because the automobile industry of the Steel Rolling Mill was really a small shrimp compared to the other party.
The Beijing Automobile Factory was now located in the Dabeiyao Beijing Metal Structure Factory area, and based on this, created the "Dongjiao Automobile Street."
"Eldest son and eldest grandson, it's a habit to take more and ask for more. He is just deliberately bullying you, don't be the same as him."
Li Xuewu handed the teacup on the table to Li Huai to take medicine, and even "persuaded": "If it really doesn't work, let's endure it, don't be embarrassed, wait a few years to build a car..."
"No!"
Li Huai, who had just put the medicine into his mouth, was excited, and the pill sprayed out of his mouth again.
Along with it came the denunciation of Old Feng of the Beijing Automobile Factory.
"Damn it, this matter isn't over!" ===== CHAPTER 913 =====
