Chapter 1035: Dangerous Building Hundred Feet High
The yacht was drifting on the sea, and everyone gathered on the stern platform, looking at the sunset and taking photos.
Zhou Xiaobai was the most active in holding the camera. She got it last time and gained a lot of experience.
This time I acted as a photographer, taking individual and group photos for everyone.
It’s true, reading the photography reference book was not in vain. Luo Yun didn’t even know when she learned this.
"Let me see! Oh, let me see!"
The two girls were trotting, chasing, and playing on the boat, like puppies going to the countryside in later generations.
"The sunset is so beautiful, but it is almost dusk"
Gao Yaqin looked at them with a smile, as if recalling her youth.
Once she was a girl, running and laughing in the sunset.
"The most beautiful thing is the sunset, you have to look forward"
Li Xuewu heard her sigh, raised his hand to point to the sunset in front of him, and said: "We have a great time to enjoy."
"You are really good at talking, Director Li"
Gao Yaqin shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "I wonder when did you start to practice your eloquence?"
"Isn't it in the army?"
She smiled and joked: "I don't think so, because your military achievements are outstanding enough."
“That’s just a little bit of the past.”
Li Xuewu leaned against the side of the boat and looked into the distance, breathing freely, and said confidently: "I will not live in the past, my goal is the stars and the sea."
“It seems to be natural.”
Gao Yaqin tidied up the hair around her ears, stood beside Li Xuewu and looked into the distance together.
"When I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before, I couldn't fully understand the meaning of the story about Zhuge Liang's eloquence, his ability to debate with many scholars, and his ability to defeat all enemies."
“Now I know”
She turned her head to look at Li Xuewu, and then looked at Pike and others not far away on the other side.
Li Xuewu felt the penetrating power of her gaze and understood the meaning of her words.
“I am really ashamed by your praise.”
He patted the railing, smiled and said: "Who in the world dares to compare with Zhuge Liang? I just have a little opportunity and too much luck."
"Well, I don't believe that. You won't believe it after you say it, right?"
Gao Yaqin turned her head and looked into the distance, and said: "If opportunities are equal, then they favor you too much. If luck is fair, then it is really unfair."
"You've praised me so much that I feel really embarrassed. Please tell me more."
Li Xuewu turned around and leaned against the railing, crossed his arms and asked, "When you give a gift to someone, you must ask for something. What can I do for you?"
“A lot, but I ask for very little”
Gao Yaqin turned around and faced Li Xuewu and said seriously: "The steel rolling mill's foreign trade work is very active and the results are outstanding. There is no doubt about this. I have seen it with my own eyes."
"We must affirm your proactive attitude in foreign trade, and we must also seriously summarize and humbly learn from your methods and approaches."
"But have you ever thought that as the person in charge of foreign trade of a steel mill, when formulating trade terms and setting trade forms, you are actually anchoring history."
She held the railing, looked at Li Xuewu, nodded and said: "What you do and think today will definitely be what your teacher will do tomorrow."
"Your factory is ahead of the curve, but it is only your factory. The advancement of an individual factory will never become a major force, let alone form an absolute advantage."
"For example, in the negotiations with Pike"
Gao Yaqin raised her eyebrows and said, "If the steel mill can cooperate with other companies to form an industrial cluster like the British automobile industry, I believe you won't have to waste so much time trying to convince him to agree with your point of view."
"Well, you are right, that is true."
Li Xuewu crossed his arms and thought seriously, then nodded and said, "We have actually thought about this, and we are putting it into practice and working hard."
"You should have heard my introduction to the automotive parts procurement supply chain system. This is our attempt at a cooperation-operation-development-integration system."
“You actually want to talk about the present, right?”
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying: "I fully recognize your efforts and enthusiasm in foreign trade work, but you must be realistic."
"I can tell you frankly that the multi-powerful combination you envision will not work because people are the most critical issue."
He raised his hand and knocked on the railing, and when Gao Yaqin frowned, he reminded her: "I can integrate resources, but you can't integrate people."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"
Gao Yaqin is still trying to persuade Li Xuewu: "I can seek support from the leaders above and seek cooperation based on relevant policies, which can ensure fairness for both parties to a certain extent."
“No, policies are the biggest injustice, and this is true for cooperation and for businesses as well.”
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "You can see that there is no unit of equal size in the steel rolling mill's joint venture, but there is in the joint trading enterprise."
"why?"
He nodded slightly and said: "Because resources are limited, they all know very well how much they can get and how much they need to contribute when the steel mill redistributes resources."
"Instead of multiple companies working together, holding meetings and conducting research, there are personnel issues and efficiency issues involved, which is very complicated."
Li Xuewu lowered his head and stamped his feet, saying: "If you are interested in forming a trust consortium in the field of foreign trade, or an upstream and downstream joint enterprise in the industry, I can give you some advice."
"What I want is the steel mills to participate, not suggestions, Director Li"
Gao Yaqin became serious and said sincerely: "Advanced enterprises must inevitably lead the backward enterprises. They are all children of the organization, big or small, regardless of first or last."
"Well, about this, Director Gao"
He raised his hand to interrupt her and reminded her: "Frankly speaking, I am not in a position to take a high-level view and coordinate the overall situation."
"As you said, in terms of the overall situation and looking at the problem from the perspective of the industry, we haven't reached that level yet."
"Let's turn our attention back to the steel mill. What do you need us to do?"
"I want more Red Star Steel Mills to appear in the foreign trade sector and have a larger annual trade share"
Gao Yaqin said bluntly: "When a single flower blooms it is not spring, when a hundred flowers bloom the whole garden will be filled with spring. You should understand what I mean."
"I understand. From your perspective, I fully agree with this."
Li Xuewu raised his hand to signal the other party, then turned back to himself and said: "But I can tell you that the steel rolling mill does not have this qualification now, you are too impatient."
“To lead the industry’s progress, we must master core technologies and occupy the position of a leading enterprise.”
"But you know that the steel mill has changed its development goals and replanned its future industrial development."
"We will no longer blindly make unlimited investments in the steel rolling industry, but instead coordinate development in multiple directions and fields."
Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said seriously: "This means that our business has grown too big and we can no longer take care of our core technological content. We must undergo a process of rapid change and rapid iteration."
“So your factory has started personnel changes, technological changes, and industrial changes?”
Gao Yaqin seemed to understand. Seeing Liu Shaozong standing over, she lowered her head and leaned against the railing.
"I have seriously considered the production and operation model of the steel mill, including the three-year and five-year plan goals you have set."
"In fact, you should be able to see that even the management system of our factory is changing, and all the rules are changing with the overall plan."
Li Xuewu glanced at Liu Shaozong and continued to say to Gao Yaqin: "There are two clear goals for now. One is promotion, and the other is grouping, with progressive levels and step-by-step progress."
"It's a very sound idea. There's no problem. I've read your report."
Liu Shaozong crossed his arms and said: "Director Gao has seen your strengths in industry and trade work and wants to summarize and explore them. There is nothing wrong with that."
"Of course, I didn't deny Director Gao's intention. I hope you can understand."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "What I mean is that the steel rolling mill cannot implement policies that improve both inside and outside at the same time. Director Li means that we should do our own job well and manage our own people well."
He gestured to Liu Shaozong and said: "The recruitment target for the steel rolling mill this year has been announced. It is conservatively estimated that there will be 36,000 people in the mill by the end of the year."
“Indeed, the development speed is very fast, and the difficulty of enterprise management has increased.”
Liu Shaozong nodded to show his understanding, then looked at Gao Yaqin and asked with a smile: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell Director Li directly. If it works, we will do it. If not, we can study it further."
"Is that so, Director Li?"
"Haha, it depends on the situation. You know my ability is really limited."
Li Xuewu signaled to the people who were returning to the cabin and asked the two to go together.
As he walked, he said: "I am currently mainly responsible for security supervision and coordination work of the Management Committee Office at the steel rolling mill, and specifically I am liaising with Director Li."
He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "All actions must be carried out under command. The work I can do is also within the rules and regulations."
"I understand that. It's organizational work."
Liu Shaozong nodded and said with a smile: "In fact, it's already amazing. I couldn't do what you can when I was young."
"Haha, you think too highly of me"
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to go first and enter the cabin.
When they returned to the living room, took off their coats and jackets, and everyone found a seat to chat and have fun, the two of them sat with him again.
"First, Wufenghang cooperated with the steel mill in the food industry, then Japanese companies cooperated with the steel mill in the electronics industry, and later Italian businessmen cooperated with the steel mill in the shipbuilding industry."
"Now, we have reached further cooperation with British businessmen in the automotive industry, Director Li."
Gao Yaqin nodded slowly and said sincerely: "I have no intention of interfering with your decision-making and deployment, nor do I mean to deprive you of the fruits of your labor."
"Speaking of the facts, is your foreign trade going to continue in this way?"
She pointed at Liu Shaozong and asked Li Xuewu, "Let the Ministry of Industry solve the policy problem and continue the shipyard's foreign trade model?"
"Of course not, it's only temporary."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "I have never said that the steel mill's foreign trade is not within the overall trade framework, and Director Li has no such intention either."
“Then why can’t the steel mills operate in the form of formal foreign trade?”
Gao Yaqin knocked on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "If there are any difficulties, I believe they can be solved."
"The fact that your factory develops foreign trade independently will affect the trade work that the company will carry out later after the foreign economic and trade processing."
"I see! I understand what you mean."
Li Xuewu nodded, looked at her and said, "Or, form a consortium with other companies in the industry, and put trade under foreign trade and economic cooperation."
"Either we change the current form of trade and put foreign trade under the Import and Export Corporation, right?"
"I didn't say that, you can think that, but that's not what I meant"
Gao Yaqin looked at him and said, "You can continue to implement the current policies. We won't say anything. I only represent myself."
"Well, let me ask you a question, okay?"
Li Xuewu frowned slightly, raised his hand to indicate the direction of Parker, and said: "Take the automobile industry as an example. The annual transaction volume is 20,000 units and the total trade volume is 70 million."
"If we apply to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation for review of the steel mill's qualification for exporting automobile projects abroad, what will we have to pay?"
"first!"
Without waiting for Gao Yaqin to answer, he said first: "If we complete this transaction through the Import and Export Corporation, we will not have the right to set prices, the right to sign, or even the right to verify quality. This is unacceptable to us."
"Secondly"
Li Xuewu continued: "In the process of foreign trade, we cannot monitor the flow of funds, cannot use the funds to purchase technology and equipment, and cannot guarantee security. This is also unacceptable to us."
"Finally, from the perspective of foreign investors, their consideration of the import and export company is less important than direct contact with the steel mill."
Li Xuewu looked at Gao Yaqin and said, "We also mentioned during the negotiations that investment is not just about projects and companies, but also about people."
"There is only one solution to this contradiction, and that is to allow foreign trade and economic cooperation agencies to approve enterprises' independent foreign trade rights."
He looked at Gao Yaqin and said bluntly: "Can you coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Trade to issue an import and export registration certificate for the steel mill?"
"Are you making things difficult for me or testing me?"
Gao Yaqin shook her head with a wry smile, looked at Li Xuewu and spread her hands and said, "I can't answer your question now, at least not now."
“So I said you were anxious.”
Li Xuewu also smiled and said: "When enterprises are allowed to have foreign import and export rights and have transparent control over funds, it will be the time for foreign economic and trade to flourish."
"This is a bit extreme, but it is worth thinking about. History will prove it all."
Gao Yaqin smiled, looked at Liu Shaozong and asked, "What do you think, Director Liu?"
"I think so too. When discussing foreign trade now, it is better to do so under the premise of overall planning of the overall environment."
Liu Shaozong nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "I am not favoring Director Gao, you should understand what I mean."
Seeing Li Xuewu nod, he continued: "I also told Parker that the Red Star Steel Mill is special. It is taking an experimental path of combining trade and production in the cracks."
"The reason why it is special is that it cannot be copied or spread over a large area, do you understand?"
He gestured to Gao Yaqin, and then continued: "When I was communicating with the leaders in the department, I also mentioned the changes and transformation of the Red Star Steel Mill many times."
“You must not know what your superiors think of this change.”
Liu Shaozong pursed his lips and said: "As far as I know, many leaders have raised critical opinions, but there are more people who support the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to carry out market operations and independent production."
"Especially the comrades in charge of people's livelihood and the economy, they are particularly concerned about the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Didn't Director Li tell you about this?"
“Haha, no, but I’ve already felt it.”
Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "I didn't see any clues in the newspapers, and the documents sent to the steel mill were very evasive. I think the higher-ups also want to see whether the steel mill can go out."
"I told you that you are a smart person. You understand everything at once!"
Liu Shaozong pointed in the direction of Li Xuewu and raised his eyebrows, saying, "You think so too, right?"
“Of course, the memory is still fresh and I can relate to it.”
Gao Yaqin smiled, and her words were suggestive, and the three of them laughed.
"The policy the Ministry of Industry provides to steel mills is not a universal policy, but rather an experimental policy. They are reaping the dividends, and it may also be their last supper."
Liu Shaozong regained his serious expression and introduced: "How long the steel mills can enjoy this policy depends on how far they explore the market economy and unplanned production process."
"I really admire the leadership team of the steel rolling mill. They are both competitive and combat-ready, right? Haha."
"You must be kidding. Our factory has always been a united and fighting collective."
Li Xuewu replied him with a smile, then looked at Gao Yaqin and said, "I have a suggestion for you to listen to. If it works for you, it's fine. If not, forget it."
"Okay, I want to listen"
Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said, "Director Liu respects you very much and told me to learn from you seriously."
"I am so embarrassed! Hahaha!"
Li Xuewu laughed and waved his hands, but he didn't dare to listen to their nonsense, as these people were not sure what they said.
“You are looking at the expansion and breakthrough of foreign trade, but I suggest you look back.”
He waved his hand and indicated: "The export of raw materials, agricultural and sideline products, as well as ore and coal can be quickly exchanged for the required foreign exchange reserve resources."
"But foreign economic and trade is a low-end export type and is the target of economic plunder."
Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "Does the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have any improvement measures in this regard?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this? Is there any decision you need to refer to?"
Gao Yaqin looked at him with a smile, then thought for a moment and said, "In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is very clear that imports and exports are still in a passive situation."
"We are also working on improving and optimizing trade types, and even adjusting the refinement and division of labor of import and export companies."
"Tianjin Fisheries Corporation is actually the result of this change. It was previously managed by one company."
"You may say that policies come out very slowly, much slower than market development, and this has hampered economic development."
"But what I want to say is that the policy guarantee attribute should take precedence over the leading attribute."
Gao Yaqin explained seriously: "Only when the competitiveness and viability of mainland enterprises are fully guaranteed in the trade process can we carry out foreign trade cooperation."
"On this point, many historical problems need to be solved urgently, and more policy changes need to be experimented and summarized."
"Of course, I am not comparing steel mills to other companies of the same type or in the same industry. I am talking about the majority of them."
She pointed to Li Xuewu and said: "Many domestic companies are just starting out, and their development levels vary. Some need support, some need care, and some even need mergers."
"Your factory should have also participated in this process and should be very clear that your factory did not have the ability to engage in foreign trade before."
"The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was originally called the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill No. 3. Because of its good development and solid foundation, it merged with several other factories."
Liu Shaozong gave a brief account, then nodded to Li Xuewu and said: "The question you asked Director Gao is actually our own problem."
"The basis of foreign trade is actually the expression of productivity. When productivity reaches a certain level, such as a steel rolling mill, it will naturally have the ability to engage in foreign trade."
"On the contrary, you dare to use canned food as a key product for foreign trade, but the Beijing Food Factory has never thought of it that way."
“Thinking limits them.”
Liu Shaozong pointed to Li Xuewu and Gao Yaqin, and gestured: "Director Li means that you should look back and look down."
“Further refine the import and export categories?”
Gao Yaqin frowned and thought, then looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Or as you said, relax the import qualification policy for some companies."
“Two directions for your reference”
Li Xuewu pointed with two fingers and said: "If I mention the steel rolling mill, you will think I am bragging, so let me talk about the Tianjin Aquatic Products Company."
"Just think about their strength, development and influence."
"Let me expand your thinking. If we grant them import and export trade procedures, how will they develop?"
"If I were the person in charge, the first thing I would do is to transform the corporate structure, be business-oriented, and directly make changes to the personnel structure."
"The second thing is to break down trade barriers, whether in Tianjin, Beijing, Northeast China or North China, as long as there is a trade need and market, we will match the production target products and overcome them."
"The last thing is market operation. We will focus our main attention and energy on the production and operation links, focusing on supply and marketing, throwing away the burdens and working hard to make more money."
Li Xuewu tapped the armrest of the sofa and said to them: "Now the annual output value is 10 million, and I can achieve 100 million."
“I believe that, especially in the current market environment, the combined trading of rolling mills has proven this.”
Liu Shaozong nodded and said affirmatively: "At least I can eat oranges from Sichuan Province now, right? Hehe~"
“Since you mentioned oranges, I’ll use them as an example for my second point.”
Li Xuewu picked up the orange on the table and gestured, saying: "On the premise of changing the collective production and management attributes of the commune, I can get the oranges from the tree to the table in just two steps."
"It's very simple. Picking the fruits is not my responsibility, but I am responsible for transportation and operation. Assuming the market price remains unchanged, if I sell more, will the collective earn more?"
“The formulation of production plans must be based on scientific evidence, but the yield of fruit trees is not controlled by individuals.”
Li Xuewu tossed the orange in his hand and said with a smile: "The commune's collective fruit forest can grow in the fields, and the fruits I sell can grow in the farmers' yards."
"It's still a market economy, how dare you say that"
Liu Shaozong smiled and shook his head, saying: "It is not realistic at the moment, your path is temporarily blocked."
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Gao Yaqin frowned slightly and waved her hand to deny Liu Shaozong's words. She looked at Li Xuewu and paused, then asked, "You are talking about the tertiary industry, right?"
"Haha, Director Gao is one step smarter."
Li Xuewu smiled and threw the orange to the stunned Liu Shaozong, then looked at Gao Yaqin and asked, "We dare not give foreign trade qualifications to large factories, and we are hesitant about giving foreign trade qualifications to single-attribute factories. What about the tertiary industry?"
“The system and personnel management are still coordinated by the planned economy, and quality and production management are also within the controllable range. Only the operation and market have a fresh atmosphere and beating ability.”
He looked at Gao Yaqin and asked with a smile: "Has the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation ever thought about setting up a test field?"
"The third industry of the steel mill?"
Gao Yaqin smiled and asked, "Are you willing to do it?"
“Of course we can’t give it all away, but we can give some of it away, such as in the food industry.”
Li Xuewu smiled and spread his hands, saying: "We have cooperated with Wufenghang in three food factories, two of which are joint-stock companies, and one is wholly owned but implements the compensatory trade system."
"Your calculations are really brilliant!"
Gao Yaqin glanced at him with amusement and said, "By granting the food factory independent import and export qualifications, you will have the advantage of cooperating with Wufeng Bank, right?"
"Let me go into more depth."
She squinted her eyes and looked at Li Xuewu, saying, "You want to develop the food industry and transform into an agricultural and sideline food reprocessing enterprise, with the core business goals of exporting deep-processed products and importing raw food, right?"
"No wonder you work in foreign trade, there is a reason for that."
Li Xuewu smiled and clapped his hands. Although he did not directly confirm her words, he had expressed his agreement.
Gao Yaqin looked at Liu Shaozong and said, "The import of basic raw materials for agricultural and sideline products is a major item, but there is a small gap in the export of deep-processed foods."
"Well, I'll go back and report to my leader and look into this."
After explaining everything to Liu Shaozong, she looked at Li Xuewu and said, "The food processing industry in China is still in its infancy. To develop it, you still have to find your own path, a path that suits you."
Liu Shaozong looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Have you communicated with Wufengxing about this?"
“No, no need to communicate”
Li Xuewu looked at Gao Yaqin and explained: "We are fully responsible for the operation of the food processing plant, and they have no ability to interfere."
"I want to say that your factory is foresighted in finalizing foreign trade cooperation."
Gao Yaqin smiled, pointed at Parker and asked, "Are you interested in the automotive project as an experimental project and I can help you apply for it?"
"Still no, thank you Director Gao"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Wufenghang can intercept the funds we need, but the Automobile Distribution Corporation cannot."
"Chicken thief!"
Gao Yaqin scolded him with a smile, then said helplessly: "We can't do anything about foreign exchange management, which is the lifeblood of all industrial development."
"Of course, I support industrial development, and I would prefer that domestic industry take big steps and develop greatly."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "But the prerequisite is that you have to wait until I become the head of the steel rolling mill before you mention this, otherwise I will be powerless to do anything."
"shameless!"
Gao Yaqin once again gave a concise and clear evaluation of Li Xuewu, and then the three of them laughed.
-
Dinner was still a seafood feast, but with different styles and dishes. Everyone enjoyed what they had reaped and looked very satisfied.
After dinner, we continued chatting. It was too cold at night and no one wanted to go out.
Some people have already formed a group to play poker, and some are drinking and watching the sea in the living room.
It was pitch black outside, but the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a rare beautiful sight.
Xue Zhifu and Li Xuewu were sitting at the bar, eating dried fruits and drinking.
"How was the conversation? I saw you guys were really engaged."
Xue Zhifu signaled Gao Yaqin's direction with his eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "It's not very ideal. She still wants to test me."
"Take your time. Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes a process."
Xue Zhifu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, saying: "If the steel rolling mill can go abroad before I retire, you will win."
"Don't say that!"
Li Xuewu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I wish you good health. Don't suddenly retire due to illness and tell me that you only have one year left."
"Hahaha! You are so mean!"
Xue Zhifu clinked glasses with Li Xuewu, then affirmed: "For your sake, I have to take care of my health and see the day when you achieve your goal."
“Let’s work together”
Li Xuewu smiled and took a sip of wine, then put down his glass and said softly: "I have to tell Director Li immediately after I go back that the group goal must be reported as soon as possible."
"Is it the Ministry of Industry that is trying to make things difficult for us?"
Xue Zhifu frowned and glanced at Liu Shaozong over there. It was lively over there and Liu Shaozong loved playing cards the most.
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The desire to intervene is very strong. If it is delayed, it is very likely to be suppressed from above."
“I saw it, but I didn’t expect it.”
Xue Zhifu nodded and said, "Just now when Gao Yaqin was talking to you, he took the initiative to interrupt because he was afraid that you would talk about the core issue."
“Especially in foreign trade.”
He pointed at Li Xuewu with the finger holding the wine glass and reminded him: "The Ministry of Industry will never let the steel mill transform into an import and export production enterprise."
"Yeah, you can see he's nervous."
Li Xuewu let out a long sigh and said, "So my suggestion is to declare them separately, and declare the tertiary industry and joint trade independently as corporate attributes of the trade category."
"Anyway, they are all products of the group goal. Whether it is management or system, they are all under the same framework."
"It means differentiating categories in operations, each with its own advantages and flexibility."
"Go back and study this, this is very important"
Xue Zhifu frowned and said: "Focus on making the attitudes of both sides clear, and also let Director Li fully understand the pros and cons."
“It’s not difficult, the difficult part is how to do it and how to achieve it.”
Li Xuewu sat up straight, rolled his eyes, and motioned to Gao Yaqin and Liu Shaozong who had been looking over there, saying, "There are two wolves squatting at your door. Which one should we kill first?"
"Fuck! That's a great metaphor!"
Xue Zhifu almost burst out laughing. He pointed at Li Xuewu with amusement, then shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter which one you hit first. You have to close the door first."
"That's what I'm saying, close the door."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Once the group project is officially announced, it will not only face criticism and heated discussions, but also vultures and falcons."
"Delivering it is one thing, but keeping it is another."
“So you support continuing to recruit workers?”
Xue Zhifu raised his eyebrows and said: "The huge size will inevitably bring survival difficulties, which can discourage some people's ideas."
“At the same time, having more workers means having more say and autonomy.”
As he spoke, he thought: "To achieve the goal of groupization, not only the various changes in the factories are independent, but also the ideological system is changing."
"I really couldn't keep up with the train of thought for a while. I don't know if I'm falling behind in my studies."
Xue Zhifu sighed, and then said: "You should report the actual situation. How to discuss and decide still needs to be discussed and decided by the group."
"Also, don't be too strict about the import and export rights of the food industry, or the Ministry of Industry may have objections."
He reminded: "After all, we are now following the policies given by above."
"I understand. I get it."
Li Xuewu took a sip of wine, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. I'd like to toast you."
"You are the hero of today's trade negotiations"
Xue Zhifu clinked glasses with Li Xuewu and emphasized: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth, especially since Director Bao was interested in the motorcycle field."
"Asking for benevolence will bring you benevolence. There is an inevitable cause and effect relationship."
Li Xuewu nodded, took a sip of wine and said: "I am very satisfied with the results of this trip. All I need is a good review from you."
“Hahaha, of course it’s a good review.”
Xue Zhifu chuckled and pointed in the direction of Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Go and talk to them. You've been busy all day. It's time to relax."
"Thank you for your understanding, you are a good leader"
Li Xuewu smiled and flattered him blatantly, which made Xue Zhifu smile and wave his hands.
He went to find Zhang Changming with a glass of wine. He was now in charge of logistics business management and had a lot of contact with the fishery company, so he took the opportunity to build more relationships with them.
Li Xuewu drank the wine in his glass, threw a peanut at Zhou Xiaobai who was whispering, and gestured to her to go outside the door.
"whee--"
Zhou Xiaobai understood, stood up and followed him out with a smile. She knew that Brother Wu was done with his work.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the starry sky!"
Li Xuewu smiled, put his arm around Zhou Xiaobai's shoulders and took her to the corridor.
Luo Yun followed behind, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. He didn't know whether these two people would take him with them when they went to play.
After getting on the boat, she has always been with Zhou Xiaobai, even when she was gaining benefits from Li Xuewu.
Now seeing that Li Xuewu only called Zhou Xiaobai, and Zhou Xiaobai just pulled her out without making any arrangements, she was really confused for a moment.
But since Li Xuewu dared to put his arm around Zhou Xiaobai's shoulders with a smile in front of everyone, she had to follow.
During the time she was dating Zuo Jie, she learned a lot, including how to behave in society.
Zuo Jie also learned and applied what he learned as he went along, some of which he learned from the club, some from the members, and some from Li Xuewu.
The club is a complex small society, which is more special and very challenging.
He shared some of his insights with Luo Yun, and Luo Yun was also growing and learning.
This is also the reason why Li Xuewu is willing to train her and let her manage the clothing business slowly.
She herself had an excellent background, so even without Li Xuewu's support, she could still make progress smoothly.
Especially since they have the advantage of advanced academic qualifications, they do not care about development in this era.
But since such a person has appeared and Zuo Jie has chosen him, he must show his appreciation.
Anyway, she was arranged to study with Shen Guodong temporarily, and she was not told to take over the business immediately. There is still time to make arrangements.
Zhou Xiaobai is different. Li Xuewu is testing her and also testing her family to see what decision they will make about her future.
Simply put, letting her and Luo Yun come to work in the club is itself an attitude of closeness.
Since Zhou Xiaobai is willing to get close to me and is willing to develop in the direction I taught her, it proves that she herself has the willingness to learn and the ability to work.
Besides, her family background is what Li Xuewu needs, but it is also what he is more wary of.
I believe her parents are also hesitating and worried, or are trying to test the waters.
A grown girl followed him out. Do you think Zhou Zhennan is blind?
No, Li Xuewu would not look down on the other party like that, and the other party would not allow him to look down on him.
So Li Xuewu clearly expressed his relationship with Zhou Xiaobai and brought Luo Yun along.
Now, Li Xuewu has included Zhou Xiaobai into the framework of the steel rolling mill's cooperation with Tianjin Aquatic Products, which means that Zhou Xiaobai has stepped half a foot into his core circle.
If the Zhou family does not make any further statement, or is indifferent in their attitude, it means that they have no definite direction for Zhou Xiaobai's future and development.
Perhaps it can be said that they are willing to give their daughter the opportunity to make mistakes and learn, after all, Zhou Xiaobai is still young.
The innocence that is universally concerned and recognized is actually worthless in the face of absolute strength.
On the one hand, does Li Xuewu dare to touch Zhou Xiaobai?
Even when they sleep in each other's arms, they won't cross the line. You can tell this without even looking at them at the bedside.
On the other hand, even if Zhou Xiaobai and Li Xuewu cross the bottom line, will it affect her future personal life?
If she found an ordinary man, or a conservative man bound by secular ethics, quarrels might occur.
But judging from Zhou Xiaobai's current situation and her attitude towards new things, we can see what she wants.
But all the questions are just guesses. Li Xuewu will not do anything stupid, nor will he allow Zhou Xiaobai to do anything stupid.
The skylight in the master bedroom was opened, and one could see the starry sky while lying on the big bed.
Zhou Xiaobai lay in Li Xuewu's arms, stretched out his hand blankly, and murmured, "It seems to be right in front of me."
"The tower is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands"
Li Xuewu also looked at the starry sky right in front of him and said with a smile: "I don't know what the principle is. I'm just a poor student."
"Hehehe—what a wonderful word!"
Zhou Xiaobai laughed, turned his head to look at Luo Yun on the other side and asked: "Do you know what the reason is?"
"Don't ask me, I'm just a light bulb"
