Chapter 994: Is the issue of dating serious?

"Deputy Director Jing, Deputy Director Li."

In front of the main office building, Xiang Jingyu'en and Li Xuewu had just gotten out of the car when they saw Secretary Li Haiyang greeting them.

"Director Li is already waiting upstairs."

Secretary Li Haiyang greeted them and explained, then his gaze turned to Li Xuewu, raising his eyebrows slightly to show a hint of inquiry.

Li Xuewu understood, nodded to indicate that the item was successful, turned to Xiang Jingyu'en, and said, "Deputy Director Jing, I won't go up, right?"

"How can that be?"

Xiang Jingyu'en's eyes moved slightly, then she smiled slightly and gestured to the lobby, saying, "Director Li is waiting for you to report."

Not arrogant despite achievements, calm and measured—whoever saw this would praise him as excellent in their heart.

Today's annexation negotiation was very smooth. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to resist going up to claim credit from the leader.

Li Xuewu didn't need these superficial things; Li Huai's trust and appreciation for him were beyond doubt.

But Xiang Jingyu'en wasn't a greedy or treacherous person either. She wouldn't let Li Huai overthink this bit of work achievement, nor would she let others look and feel suspicious.

Especially regarding Li Xuewu, work reports and achievements weren't important; what was important was that the two of them completed the task together.

Overcoming certain difficulties and working together to accomplish something made her feel that this man, Li Xuewu, was very reliable.

"Deputy Director Li, the leader also wants to ask about the land needs and planning for next year; it's possible the leaders above are inquiring."

Secretary Li Haiyang explained softly while inviting the two to step up the stairs.

Li Xuewu smiled, turned back to give Peng Xiaoli a look, then joked to Xiang Jingyu'en, "I was just saying I'd go back and look at the backlogged documents."

"It won't take much of your time."

Xiang Jingyu'en chided him, then entered the lobby after Li Xuewu yielded, and said to him, "It's just right to talk about the annexation docking work."

"It seems you are harder working than me."

Li Xuewu smiled and joked, "At least I rarely work overtime."

"Are you mocking me~"

Several people climbed the stairs. Xiang Jingyu'en gestured to Li Xue behind her and said to Li Xuewu on the side, "Are you still feeling aggrieved for Li Xue, complaining that I got off work late?"

"No! ~"

Li Xue thought the leader was angry and quickly explained.

Then she saw the leader's joking eyes and realized she had been a bit excited just now, fearing that Deputy Director Jing had seen something.

Xiang Jingyu'en didn't mind her little thoughts and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I accept the suggestion; I'll get off work earlier in the future."

Li Xue blushed, but didn't dare to pick up the conversation again, fearing the leader would have something else to say.

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Whether she gets off work late or not has nothing to do with me; she doesn't spend her money on me."

"Besides."

He turned to look at Li Xue and said, "When you're young, you should train more and learn more; opportunities are rare~"

This latter sentence was said to both Li Xue and Xiang Jingyu'en, carrying several layers of meaning.

Xiang Jingyu'en glanced at him, secretly thinking: This person's work ability is impeccable, but his schemes are more numerous than the holes in a sieve.

"Right, what I told you this morning."

Xiang Jingyu'en asked, "Regarding the employment issue, do you have any opinions?"

"Engineering?"

Li Xuewu paused, nodded slowly, and said, "Have you considered temporary workers?"

"Temporary workers?"

Xiang Jingyu'en frowned slightly. She wanted to question: can temporary workers be used in government units, engineering management, and construction sites?

Temporary workers are generally defined as children of factory employees recruited temporarily, or external employees called upon temporarily to expand production and transport work.

There are no temporary workers in government units, and they don't exist in engineering management and site management units.

However, out of trust in Li Xuewu, she didn't question his opinion, but instead pondered it.

Stepping onto the third floor, she raised her eyebrows, turned to look at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Is it secondment, or requisition?"

"No, neither."

Li Xuewu explained seriously, "It's just temporary recruitment, with the same treatment."

"Tell me about it."

Xiang Jingyu'en was actually interested in Li Xuewu's thinking and gestured for him to speak quickly.

If the treatment of temporary workers could solve problems in government and engineering management, this would be a pioneering move.

A single penny can stump a hero; right now, Xiang Jingyu'en has no money, and whoever asks, she says she has no money.

At the beginning of the new year, multiple department funding applications were rejected by her.

Either use old items, coordinate with other departments to share equipment, or if that doesn't work, coordinate with the factory—everyone showing their own magical powers.

Now, whoever dares to mention money in front of her, she dares to get angry, so her temper has been quite bad recently.

Hearing that Li Xuewu could solve her problem, she didn't care that they were in the third-floor corridor and asked directly.

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "Have you considered letting university students participate in internship work?"

"University students?"

Xiang Jingyu'en's eyebrows moved slightly, then she looked at him deeply and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

"Huaqing, the near water tower gets the moon first."

Li Xuewu gestured to the experimental workshop diagonally opposite, where many university students were interning for free in the factory.

"Our factory also has a willingness to cooperate with the Steel Institute; this work is still being pushed forward, but it's not hard to recruit intern students."

"I don't have any objections."

Walking to the door of Li Huai's office, Secretary Li Haiyang had already gone in to report, and was now standing at the door welcoming the two.

"I heard it went smoothly?"

Li Huai stood up with a smile, waved to the two, and gestured to Xue Zhifu and Gu Weijie, who were sitting opposite, to sit on the sofa.

Secretary Li Haiyang was very nimble, helping the leaders arrange the seats together with Li Xue.

There were only two sofas in the office, one small and one large.

However, when leaders hold meetings, only two people sit on the large one, otherwise it's slightly crowded.

At this moment, Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu displayed their style, yielding the sofa to Xiang Jingyu'en and Gu Weijie, while the two sat on chairs moved from opposite the office desk.

"Although there were some twists and turns, fortunately, it was negotiated."

Xiang Jingyu'en sat down while introducing, "It's just that it didn't satisfy the Ministry's wishes; next time, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

After speaking, she gestured to Li Xuewu, letting him report on today's inspection and negotiation situation.

Li Xuewu saw everyone's gaze looking over, sat up straight, and opened his report: "It was mainly the appearance of the Second Auto Works. I talked with Deputy Director Gu Litong of the Second Auto Works."

"Mm, I know this person."

Li Huai saw Secretary Li Haiyang and Li Xue bring tea cups over, nodded slightly, looked at Li Xuewu, and said, "Young and promising, outstanding work ability, a famous excellent young cadre in the Ministry."

"But he's not as good as you!"

After speaking, he made a joke, nodded, and asked, "Seeing him today, didn't you two exchange experiences?"

"Heh heh heh~"

Everyone in the room either held their tea cups and laughed softly, or looked at Li Xuewu with teasing gazes.

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, but said confidently, "There's no comparison now; let's compare when I become a deputy factory director."

"Ha ha ha!"

Everyone in the room laughed out loud this time, partly agreeing with Li Xuewu's joke, and partly agreeing with his confidence.

With Li Xuewu's talent, perhaps he only lacked some experience and qualifications, and then there were human connections.

He had no problems with work ability and organizational ability; everyone recognized this.

But it had to be said that sometimes experience and qualifications are the most testing of a person's comprehensive strength.

Not to mention the side influence of human connections, the key factors limiting Li Xuewu's progress were obvious.

Having ability and achievements only proves you can do it, but to advance, you must make the leader believe you can do it.

The word "believe" is more important than ability.

If it were a few years later, Li Xuewu saying this would be criticized for being too immodest.

But now he is only twenty-one years old, with infinite possibilities in the future; who dares to say he can't reach the position of deputy factory director?

Therefore, everyone in the room just laughed and didn't make a fuss.

After the joke, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Li Xuewu continued his report: "The light truck project newly launched by the Second Auto Works is very successful; they are about to welcome great development."

In the room, everyone was listening to Li Xuewu's report. Secretary Li Haiyang and Li Xue found chairs in the corner to take notes.

Peng Xiaoli, who entered the room later, observed from the door, nodded to Li Xuewu who looked over, and sat next to Secretary Li Haiyang.

"Gu Litong talked a lot with me, and ultimately, he took a fancy to our factory's car production model and component procurement channels."

Li Xuewu took the cigarette Li Huai offered, didn't rush to light it, but held it in his hand and continued his report.

"He revealed to me that the Second Auto Works actually doesn't want to be a sucker, nor does it want to delay a rare development opportunity."

Ding~

Secretary Li Haiyang walked over and used a lighter to light cigarettes for Xue Zhifu and Li Xuewu; Li Huai didn't smoke.

It must be said that Old Li still had willpower; perhaps he only lit one involuntarily in a crisis, but could endure it at other times.

"Big abacus must be calculated, small abacus must also be calculated!"

Li Huai said, "Big abacus is loyal to the organization, small abacus is loyal to the workers—it's difficult for us!"

"Indeed."

Xue Zhifu took a puff of his cigarette, nodded slightly, and said, "Saying it's a dilemma, but it's actually unspeakable suffering; it's not easy."

"According to the original plan, I asked for land and technical blueprints, along with some technical workers."

Li Xuewu continued, "Coordinating with the Second Auto Works, providing component procurement channels, and simultaneously compensating the two factories with 100,000 yuan in worker resettlement fees."

Leaders can sigh and complain, but he is the Deputy Director of the Management Committee in this room and doesn't have the qualifications to say these things.

"Annexation and acquisition fee of 100,000 yuan per factory."

Xiang Jingyu'en took over, "Like the Second Auto Works, the Ministry's opinion on this item is the biggest; it probably didn't meet their psychological expectations."

"Mm, I understand."

Li Huai nodded, gestured to the office desk, and said, "You hadn't returned yet, and the phone call from Director Han of the city came."

"Is it about the negotiation?"

Xiang Jingyu'en looked at Li Xuewu, then said to Li Huai, "Actually, we..."

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about it."

Li Huai understood her meaning, waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't say 100,000; even if you gave him a million, he'd think it was too little. Just listen to it."

He had this confidence; he wasn't afraid of leaders above making things difficult, nor was he afraid of the local area causing trouble.

"Letting you go is to make them blush; don't just accommodate them blindly."

Li Huai crossed his right leg, his tone slightly firm, and said, "Living at home, no one is rich; I'm not afraid of offending people."

After saying this, the look in everyone's eyes toward him changed slightly, making him appear more calm and confident.

"Talk about the Second Auto Works; do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, leader."

Li Xuewu flicked the cigarette ash, directly stuck the cigarette in the ashtray, and reported seriously: "After seeing the Sixteenth and Seventh Factories, I have some mental preparation regarding the creation of the motorcycle factory."

"As for the Second Auto Works, it's mainly the construction of the component supply chain."

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I actually really hope he takes the bait; that way, the 200,000 for buying the land will be earned back."

"It seems you are well-prepared."

Li Huai smiled at everyone and said, "What is this called? This is called 'the willing fish takes the bait,' right? Heh heh heh~"

"Plan for a moment, plan for a lifetime; plan for a region, plan for the whole situation."

Xiang Jingyu'en looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said to Li Huai, "Planning with strategy, prepared for any eventuality."

"Reasonable!"

Li Huai nodded and said, "With the phoenix tree, don't fear the lack of phoenixes."

He used the title of the speech draft he had issued a few days ago to say this, then said, "It seems our factory's car production model was the right path."

"Still have to watch, one step at a time."

Li Xuewu showed a cautious attitude when achievements were prominent, which won the approval of the several factory leaders present.

Xue Zhifu nodded and said, "This year's construction and production work is relatively heavy; one cannot be too cautious."

Saying this, he looked at Li Huai and said, "I see that with Comrade Xuewu in this project, there's no worry of risk."

"Mm, it's mainly Comrade Yu'en's proper control."

Li Huai looked at Li Xuewu but praised Xiang Jingyu'en, saying, "It seems the annexation work office still needs the two of you to continue taking responsibility and handle the startup well."

"Yes."

Xiang Jingyu'en and Li Xuewu responded simultaneously, then gestured for Li Xuewu to report on the motorcycle factory's thinking.

"The product positioning of the Sixteenth Factory has problems, and sales performance is very average; it's a production thinking for heavy sidecar motorcycles."

Li Xuewu reported: "Our factory isn't suitable for building this kind of motorcycle. First, sidecar motorcycles under 500CC displacement have no competitiveness, and fuel consumption is too high."

"Secondly, there are restrictions on the scope of use, mainly because road conditions aren't acceptable; there are better solutions for urban and rural transport."

"Mm."

Li Huai nodded and said, "Our factory is building light motorcycles, right? This exists as an obvious competitive pressure."

"Yes, there is some overlapping conflict."

Li Xuewu said: "Light motorcycles fully meet urban road conditions and load needs; for extreme rural road conditions, even a 500CC displacement won't solve many practical problems."

He glanced at the others and said: "For this part of the solution, I am more inclined to recommend the Red Star Antelope, using a Jeep to replace it."

Xue Zhifu and others nodded in agreement with this view. Product sales is a traditional concept, but in the cracks between the planned economy and the market economy, sales have a fresher definition.

Li Xuewu's thinking on the Steel Rolling Mill's product layout had no problems and also brought them some thinking.

"500CC sidecar motorcycles aren't suitable, but I think heavy-duty freight three-wheeled vehicles are feasible."

Li Xuewu beckoned to Peng Xiaoli, took a document from his hand, placed it on the coffee table, and gestured to Li Huai: "This is the Shanghai 58-I gasoline three-wheeler. Does it look familiar to you?"

"Mm~ too familiar."

Li Huai and others all leaned forward to look, then sat up straight, nodded, and asked: "Our factory unified procurement of a batch before, right?"

"A long time ago; the factory now uses it for workshop parts transfer work."

Of the several leaders sitting in this room, only Li Huai was an "old man"; the other three came last year.

Li Xuewu actually didn't know much about when the factory procured these things, but he had carefully observed this thing.

"Load 1.5 tons, speed 70km/h."

He looked at Li Huai and introduced: "When it was designed, it united more than 50 factories including Shanghai Auto Decoration Factory, Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory, and Shanghai Auto Chassis Factory to tackle key problems, but we don't need to."

Under the gaze of several people, Li Xuewu tapped the document on the table and said: "The data is all here; just tinker with it and it can be used."

Mature technology and products don't need too much scientific research support, just don't let the "tape measure department" mistake centimeters for meters.

Understanding the meaning in Li Xuewu's words, the light in everyone's eyes looking at him became somewhat strange.

Plagiarism = tinker with it?

"1.5 tons of load, it can truly meet short-distance freight transport."

Li Huai was very satisfied with Li Xuewu's excellent style of "diligence and thrift," not caring at all whether Shanghai had any opinions.

Beijing's car, what does it have to do with you in Shanghai?

Besides, based on Li Xuewu's nature, if you could pick out similarities in appearance, the money for the Willys would be considered wasted!

"Not only that, the price of the three-wheeler can also be studied."

Li Xuewu bent down and pointed to the data on the document to explain: "This three-wheeler is the first automotive product from Shanghai's transition from parts manufacturing to whole-vehicle manufacturing and batch production."

"Same path as the Beijing Auto Factory."

Xiang Jingyu'en said: "A product of hard work and self-reliance."

"It's like that."

Li Xuewu nodded: "The engine uses a 4-stroke twin-cylinder water-cooled V-type gasoline engine, while the Sixteenth Factory uses a twin-cylinder opposed air-cooled engine."

Fearing Li Huai and others wouldn't understand, he explained the pros and cons of air-cooling and water-cooling.

Xiang Jingyu'en frowned and asked: "So the Sixteenth Factory's engine needs to be changed?"

"This is inevitable, but it won't be a waste."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "Freight three-wheelers can have two types, heavy and light. Light uses air-cooling, heavy uses water-cooling, forming sales differentiation."

"And!"

He sat up straight and emphasized: "Our factory has its own tertiary industry, and some parts can be replaced with cheaper and more durable engineering plastics and fiberglass."

"And processing advantages."

Gu Weijie interjected: "The advantages of special steel can be manifested."

"It's like that."

Li Xuewu nodded: "The price can be cut by at least half, fully meeting sales needs."

"Let me see."

Li Huai heard that money was to be made, and immediately wasn't confused. He sat up straight and picked up the document on the coffee table to read.

Although he still didn't quite understand, he knew very well what a price cut meant for the market impact.

Even if the Steel Rolling Mill's motorcycle factory was still in the startup phase, this didn't prevent him from thinking about how much profit and achievement could be earned from motorcycles in the future.

Mainly because this thing is cheap and widely used, exactly the transport resource the market is lacking.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Beijing, ox and horse carts and rickshaws on the big streets are still transport forces; this thing has a market.

If it could really be cheap to two or three thousand per unit, it might sell like crazy.

A big Liberation is 35,000, a Dongfeng is 39,000, but their load is only 5 tons.

What concept is this?

Anyone with decent math skills can calculate it: 35,000 can buy ten three-wheelers, but the transport capacity can accumulate to 15 tons, tripling it.

Setting aside the issue of long-distance single-item transport, this heavy-duty tricycle completely outperforms the Liberation truck.

Very coincidentally, Director Li's math ability was quite good. Although he didn't know how much money this project could earn, he just felt that the money spent on buying three-wheelers before was a waste.

"This is the production thinking for light and heavy freight three-wheelers. Let's talk about the Seventh Factory's motorcycle reform plan..."

In Li Huai's office, 300,000 was spent on annexation and acquisition, bringing back two pieces of land, two batches of workers, and two types of motorcycle production technology.

Li Xuewu reported on the relevant reform plans and future development directions.

Regarding the Seventh Factory's 250CC motorcycle, his meaning was to retain the production capacity but it needed to be redesigned.

On the basis of having light motorcycle design plans and heavy freight three-wheeler production plans, it would be retained as a product supplementation plan.

60CC, 250CC, 500CC—three product layouts, after digesting these technical reserves, forming market brand occupancy.

It was still the production thinking of a price butcher: removing unnecessary parts, simplifying the structure, using engineering plastics, utilizing component procurement channels, and fully utilizing price wars to occupy the market.

In this day and age, motorcycles were truly relatively cheap and easy-to-use travel tools. If it weren't for production structure needs, the country would have realized motorcycle freedom long ago.

However, current industrial and engineering production needed heavy machinery equipment more, and limited production resources were all used for the development of these equipment.

Another point, motorcycles in the civilian market were too expensive and not accepted by the common people.

On one hand, there was a need; on the other, there was the price. The common people could only stand back and look.

But if the 600-yuan small motorcycle plan was realized, after completing exquisite design and appearance optimization, could it open up the civilian motorcycle market in advance?

This still needed the test of the market and time, but several leaders had full confidence in postal procurement and transport procurement.

Taking the Steel Rolling Mill itself, cadres at the deputy division level and above had a need for assigned cars, and some deputy section and section chiefs had work travel needs.

If all were to be assigned cars, this was obviously impossible, but to a certain extent, could motorcycles replace assigned cars to meet work needs?

One couldn't afford a car worth tens of thousands, but if a 600-yuan motorcycle was still too stingy, there was no way to justify it.

The 250CC motorcycle production plan was recognized and supported by Li Huai. Although the civilian market acceptance wasn't high, production could be reduced.

Last time in the frontier, he was interested in that Russian motorcycle he saw in the warehouse, and during the conversation, he had the intention of choosing that style.

Actually, Old Li was just fresh for a moment. If it were designed according to that shape, could he ride it?

According to the organization's cadre commuting management regulations, at Old Li's level, one was absolutely not allowed to touch the steering wheel.

As for the design, Li Xuewu naturally wouldn't indulge him and just acted as if he hadn't heard this opinion.

Everything else was easy to talk about, but in terms of design, in this Steel Rolling Mill, who understood design better than Li Xuewu?!

Chief Engineer Xia Zhongquan would have to give a thumbs up and say he admired it!

Those who do management and are cadres shouldn't stick their feet into our design circle; what are you blindly commanding?!

After the annexation and motorcycle factory work were discussed, Li Xuewu picked up his tea cup to drink tea, letting other leaders discuss the land planning for this year and next year.

During this time, Li Huai also asked Li Xuewu about the overall thinking for the land planning along the Liangma River industrial zone.

Li Xuewu had instructed Peng Xiaoli to take the documents regarding this part before going upstairs.

In the report to several people, he pointed out several key locations, which were production, worker villages and supporting facilities, technology research parks, education and medical areas, and group office areas, among other key regions.

Li Huai attached great importance to the functions and design plans of several regions, viewing and discussing relevant issues with several other leaders.

On key issues, Li Xuewu also interpreted and explained the actual situation.

It was still a money issue; everyone wanted to build it all at once and then welcome great development.

But in reality, these regions could only be built one by one, and even some land locations on the blueprints weren't within the Steel Rolling Mill's construction red line.

The solution Li Xuewu gave was to use fixed assets such as acquired land, urban replacement land, and equivalent tertiary industry joint production cooperation plans to solve the land replacement problem.

Li Huai was considering applying to the superiors, together with the group-based goal application, so that when the group-based goal was realized, land expansion could also be smoothly completed.

But today, when Gu Weijie and Xue Zhifu came to report and coordinate the application plan, they proposed this year's land needs and future land planning plans.

He saw it and realized that Li Xuewu's group future development plan required so much land.

If it were really built, I'm afraid all this land on both sides of the Liangma River would have to be given to the Steel Rolling Mill.

You could say to reduce the land planning, which would not only save resources but also realize construction goals as soon as possible.

But looking at the design expectation plan for the group office building, he really couldn't bear to.

The seventeen-story twin-tower polygonal design, with the connecting corridor and podium building just right, dazzled Old Li's eyes; he only felt that this big pancake was big and round.

This magnificent, luxurious, solemn, and imposing exterior design, paired with the Liangma River Park design plan, with gardens and technology shining together, was exactly the image of the group building in his mind.

Before, he had never thought about what special achievements he could make after becoming the number one person.

But Li Xuewu helped him make a group-based progress, a ladder of wisdom thinking.

This was a dream, but it was also a dream that was about to be realized.

He had dreamed of a group-based building, but had no thinking; even in his dreams, he couldn't imagine what the building should look like.

Now it was good; Li Xuewu not only gave him the direction to strive for but also helped him design the dream and put it in front of his eyes.

Seeing Li Huai holding that blueprint, his face slightly flushed, excited and abnormal, steam was almost coming out of his ears.

The water that had entered his brain before was now all evaporated; he was now abnormally firm in the future development direction—it must be done this way!

He had already thought about it: in the future, his office would be on the seventeenth floor at the very top, facing the sun, just right to see the river view park and production park, and also to see the ships coming and going in the river.

Seventeenth floor, there should be an elevator, right? In the future, he wouldn't have to climb stairs. He still remembered the feeling of taking the elevator last time, like ascending to the clouds.

Thinking this way, he felt a bit lightheaded; it seemed he was really about to realize his goal.

As for why it had to be built according to the design thinking submitted by Li Xuewu, it was because this brat had designed the group office building on the opposite bank of the Liangma River!

This was very dry!

The opposite side is not our family's land!

Open your eyes and look for yourself; the other party's factory is still smoking!

However!

Li Huai didn't care about that much anymore; demolition or replacement, he had already determined that his office was on the opposite side.

The land on this side had been fully designed and planned by Li Xuewu; life and office naturally had to choose the windward side, and it was better to have a park.

When Xiang Jingyu'en and others came out of Li Huai's office, seeing Li Huai's still excited mental state, they only felt that this person, Li Xuewu, had problems.

Don't be some disciple of a charlatan; otherwise, how could he be so good at fooling people's hearts.

Old Li before didn't say how unambitious he was, but he didn't have any too lofty ideals either.

But look, the land planning work was discussed, and Old Li was about to whip the whole factory's workers to work hard.

This is definitely Old Li being fed opium!

"Regarding the temporary workers, do you think these university students...?"

At the door of Xiang Jingyu'en's office, she stopped Li Xuewu and asked this.

The worry behind it naturally didn't need to be said; Li Xuewu must understand.

Li Xuewu waited for Gu Weijie and others to pass before saying softly: "Find a few more schools, engineering majors are fine..."

"Other suitable majors are also fine; break them up, and set up an honorary competition mechanism..."

"University students are the most simple and honest, and also the cheapest; the key is that they are easy to use..."

He didn't say anything more about the rest; when it came to personnel management, Xiang Jingyu'en's ability wasn't inferior to his.

At this moment, she didn't even enter the door, waved her hand to signal Li Xuewu could go, and Xiang Jingyu'en went to Deputy Director Gu's office.

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders; why did he have a feeling of killing the donkey after the millstone was used?

After the work thinking was finalized, the plan was executed very quickly.

Saturday morning, January 10th.

Dong Wenxue returned to Beijing from Steel City and attended the creation office meeting of the motorcycle manufacturing plant.

At the meeting, Li Huai presided over and emphasized the development thinking regarding the automotive industry within the next year.

Cen Fuyao, the director of the Steel City Production Base Management Office of the Economic and Trade Office, who accompanied Dong Wenxue to the meeting, was also there.

Automotive industry development was the main pillar defining the Steel Rolling Mill's future development, and everyone attached great importance to it.

At the meeting, Li Huai coordinated personnel, finance, production, and logistics departments, and announced and discussed specific execution plans.

Li Xuewu, as the Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office, interpreted the plan at the meeting and answered some questions.

Calling the comrades from Steel City back was mainly to start working on the relocation, site selection, and construction of the two motorcycle factories from now on.

There were too many construction projects this year; if they didn't give time for design and relaxation, the engineering department wouldn't be able to complete the task.

According to the plan, the motorcycle manufacturing plant, like the car manufacturing plant, would be in one place, forming an industrial cluster effect.

At the meeting, Li Xuewu also emphasized that this factory creation and cadre selection work must strictly abide by organizational work discipline, and strictly prohibit any violations.

Selected cadres must unconditionally obey organizational arrangements, must not have personal emotions or opinions, and must complete the construction tasks assigned by the organization for this project with quality and quantity.

Regarding the worker selection opinion, Gu Weijie made a speech, mainly targeting annexed workers and the Steel Rolling Mill's existing recruitment and elimination plans, requiring personnel departments to fully coordinate resettlement and solve production needs.

Especially this personnel reform, many workers in service departments had opinions and were unwilling to go to production posts to work.

Gu Weijie also got ruthless: those who didn't cooperate with organizational work would have their post duties lifted, be suspended from posts and salaries, and those who still didn't obey the adjustment would be dismissed.

In a large factory of tens of thousands of people, especially now that the worker scale had expanded to 30,000, the pressure on personnel management work increased sharply.

Gu Weijie emphasized that one cannot be afraid of offending people, and even less afraid of psychological burdens; for an enterprise to develop, there must be sacrifices.

She had already coordinated with the city's personnel department and the factory's labor union, obtaining full execution power in worker management.

The condition was that the Steel Rolling Mill would absorb more unemployed youth, consider local Beijing personnel first in recruitment, and solve the actual difficulty of employment.

Now, graduates and unemployed youth had become the most tense and headache-inducing problem in Beijing.

With the Steel Rolling Mill recruiting thousands or tens of thousands of unemployed youth, the city naturally had to give the green light.

Especially since the personnel management needs proposed by the Steel Rolling Mill were still within the scope of the rules, targeting employees who didn't obey management and didn't obey personnel adjustments.

Everyone's pressure was very high in the new year; Gu Weijie's serious speech at the meeting truly cooled down the somewhat noisy personnel work in the Steel Rolling Mill.

Xie Lan Zhi, the deputy leader in charge of personnel work, reported that the post competition and assessment activities had been carried out for a week with good results.

The workers' enthusiasm for learning was high, the internal management status of the workshop had improved, and especially the concept of safe production had been fully implemented.

In the post competition and assessment held next month, the post adjustment arrangements for unqualified personnel were already being made.

The direction of diversion was mainly new projects, new factories, tertiary industry factories, and labor teams.

One-fourth of government cadres and employees were diverted, and two-thirds of service and logistics labor personnel were diverted.

After new workers successively completed training and assessment work, some posts would be filled by new workers, and some posts would be abolished.

And in this personnel reform activity, some who couldn't perform their duties or couldn't work would be transferred, retired early, or cleared out.

Strictly speaking, the Steel Rolling Mill's industrial reform work had just begun, but the personnel reform work had been in full swing since the beginning, reaching a white-hot state.

It was just that the assessment and training education plan given by Li Xuewu, plus the fact that newly recruited personnel and employees' children occupied the main part, gave the reform work more room for relaxation.

Otherwise, with the current situation, launching a large-scale adjustment and reform of worker posts would undoubtedly be like adding fuel to the fire.

Even so, Gu Weijie's work pressure had increased recently, and she had visited the workshop many times to listen to workers' feedback.

And she had repeatedly required personnel departments and propaganda departments to go to the grassroots level to carry out practical research work.

Security and supervision also fully cooperated, especially recently, the security section and supervision section jointly handled cases, dealing heavy blows to violations of discipline.

Not only was the deputy director of the dispatch workshop arrested, but several other unlucky ones also hit the muzzle of the gun.

As for why they were strictly managing discipline at this time, it was to eliminate workers' resentment and strictly establish a fair and just personnel reform atmosphere.

Personnel reform is like walking on a tightrope; any negligence could bring about disastrous results.

Gu Weijie reported to Li Huai many times just to solve these problems.

Propaganda needed to guide, personnel departments needed to execute, and security and supervision needed to "kill" a few to eliminate opposition to this reform.

Coming down from the meeting, Li Xuewu accompanied Dong Wenxue and his party, called Chief Engineer Xia Zhongquan, and visited the experimental workshop.

The several projects currently underway here were precisely for the car manufacturing plant.

Including light motorcycles, special vehicles, Jeeps, vans, etc.

Li Xuewu mainly communicated with Xia Zhongquan about the technical blueprint digestion problem of the two motorcycle factories.

And the design plans for heavy-duty freight three-wheelers and light-duty freight three-wheelers discussed and studied at the meeting yesterday.

The redesign and lightweight design of the 250CC motorcycle were also put on the agenda.

What needed to be digested wasn't just the motorcycle factory's technical workers, but also a small number of scientific research personnel.

These people had more experience in imitating and researching motorcycles than the Steel Rolling Mill's, and could provide certain thinking and experience.

In front of the comrades from the Steel City Auto Factory, several people also discussed the important significance of separating research and development from production.

In the future, the Beijing factory area would no longer possess heavy industrial factories, but would play an important role as a scientific research base.

The goal was to transform science and technology into actual productive forces; both he and Dong Wenxue were optimistic about the development of the research institute.

Don't look at the research institute now having many projects that the Steel Rolling Mill didn't need, or research that those teachers and students came up with on a whim.

Li Xuewu fully supported their experiments and inventions; if the Steel Rolling Mill couldn't use them, they could sell the blueprints to tertiary industry joint units, or sell them to other units.

As long as one project succeeded, the invested research funding would all be earned back.

Machinery, chemistry, electronics, etc. —as long as Huaqing teachers and students were willing to do research in the institute without taking a salary, he would fully guarantee the living conditions of these people.

Eat well, live well, use well!

This was a group of young people whose eyes were clear and simple, and who didn't pay attention to living conditions in their behavior—they were the group of people Li Xuewu liked even more.

Of course, he liked anyone who worked hard without taking money.

The worker village employee apartment construction would be completed this year, and these university students would be the first batch to move in.

Is the issue of dating serious?

That naturally wouldn't be managed, and it should be encouraged. If they really got pregnant, they'd have to get a marriage certificate and register their household!

At this time, the Steel Rolling Mill had to stand on the side of the university students, provide them with convenient conditions, register their household in the Steel Rolling Mill, and join the Steel Rolling Mill.

Would university students regret doing this?

Don't ask; asking means love is priceless! ===== CHAPTER 995 =====
