Chapter 1031 scared me to death!

Chapter 1031 scared me to death!
"Mr. Pike, your point of view is really... shocking to me."
Li Xuewu said he was shocked, but his face showed full satisfaction and a smile.
He waved to Peng Xiaoli, then asked Pike, "Is this your first time in Beijing?"
"Of course, it's the first time, one of the many wonderful first times in life."
Parker seemed to be in a very relaxed mental state, with no signs of nervousness at all from participating in foreign affairs activities.
Even though the person sitting opposite him was a partner for cooperation and negotiation, it was clear that the old-fashioned capital had such a foundation.
He looked at Li Xuewu and spread his hands, indicating the scene passing by outside the window, and said seriously: "Your country is too big and has absolute depth of development."
"I have no doubt about the future of this place, and I have no doubt that a country with thousands of years of splendid civilization will always lag behind."
“Thank you, thank you for your sincere opinion.”
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, took a picture album from Peng Xiaoli and placed it on the small table between the two sides.
"As a personal invitation, and to express my welcome to you, I have a gift for you."
"Oh? This is such a surprise."
Pike's eyes had long been on the album. He looked up at Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu, nodded and confirmed, "Can I take a look now?"
"Of course, it's yours."
Li Xuewu politely pushed the album forward and raised his hand to signal him to do as he pleased.
Pike first greeted the two with a smile, and then opened the album in front of him.
"oh--!"
As soon as he opened the first page, he was shocked by the exquisite design in the album.
The outline of a factory building suddenly appeared on the spread-out painting page, and some buildings and scenes of workers working appeared on the paper.
Three-dimensional paper models are an extension of traditional paper-cutting techniques, with unique and exquisite shapes.
“It was the early days of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill”
Li Xuewu leaned forward and introduced: "At that time we had just ushered in a new social change, and everything started from scratch."
“I have learned about your history. It was very difficult and I feel deeply touched.”
Pike nodded and said, "The British mainland was also bombed by the Germans, and even our king had to hide in the air-raid shelter."
"War is cruel and cold-blooded. It leaves deep scars on every nation."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "So we must be independent, work hard, and innovate scientifically."
At his signal, Parker turned to the second page. A steel-making blast furnace rose from the ground, and several representative steel workers stood in the workshop with tools in their hands.
"Gangcheng Steel Plant, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, with an annual production capacity of 45 tons"
Li Xuewu introduced: "We now have six blast furnaces, including two blast furnaces for refining special steel."
"Raw materials are purchased locally and the output steel is mainly supplied to projects such as rolling mills, shipyards, hardware factories and the automobile industry."
"This way"
He motioned for Parker to continue turning the pages and introduced: "Yingcheng Shipyard, located in an excellent port in Bohai Bay, is a downstream project acquired by the steel rolling mill last year."
"The shipyard has the capacity to manufacture 10,000-ton cargo ships, and orders mainly include cargo ships, fishing boats, speedboats and luxury yachts."
"Andrew's project?"
Parker interrupted Li Xuewu's introduction, nodded and said, "I heard Andrew introduce this place, it's beautiful."
"It's like this. We have cooperated with Geely Star Shipping to develop a luxury yacht project. What Mr. Andrew saw is probably just the tip of the iceberg."
Li Xuewu tapped the location of the Yingcheng Port Pier on the painting page and emphasized: "The shipyard project far exceeded his expectations."
After saying that, he opened the document handed over by Peng Xiaoli, found a plan and placed it in front of the other party.
It was all in English, so there was no difficulty in reading. Just by lowering his head, Parker knew what Li Xuewu wanted to say.
"A project to develop a large cargo ship?"
He looked at Li Xuewu in surprise and asked, "Does Yingcheng Shipyard already have the ability to manufacture large cargo ships?"
It's no wonder that he was suspicious. The information provided to Andrew by the steel mill showed that the Yingcheng Shipyard would not be able to complete all construction projects until June of this year at the earliest.
A shipyard that has not been completed yet is ready to rush to build a 10,000-ton giant ship?
“You may have heard of Ben Thanh Shipyard”
Li Xuewu introduced frankly: "Just at last year's Yangcheng Foreign Trade Fair, our two sides reached a unanimous cooperation agreement."
"Bincheng..."
Pike nodded in understanding, temporarily dispelling his doubts, and looked at the document in his hand.
Li Xuewu continued to introduce when he was halfway through reading: "The advantages of container transportation in long-distance shipping and rail transportation have already emerged."
"So the next 10,000-ton giant ship project to be built by Yingcheng Shipyard will be a container ship."
“Oh, I’ve seen that.”
Parker pointed at the mark on the document and nodded in confirmation: "Whoever says that the mainland's thinking is backward is simply nonsense."
He looked up at Li Xuewu, smiled and said with emotion: "From what I understand, there are not many companies that are starting to plan container ships now."
“No, advanced transportation has already begun in Europe and the United States, so we are not ahead of the curve.”
Li Xuewu would not be fooled by his two words. He pointed to the market research report at the back of the document and said, "It's not too late to catch up now."
Pike looked at the report carefully, frowned slightly, and asked, "Where did this data come from?"
"In the newspaper"
If Li Xuewu wants to say something, he will say it naturally. If he doesn't want to say it, he will lie without any hesitation.
Just this one sentence made Parker speechless. He didn't expect any newspaper to be so boring and bold as to publish data on several large ships in the world and the overall shipping situation.
Information exchange in those days was not as smooth and transparent as in later generations, and a lot of key data was kept as confidential.
He could only say that the steel rolling mill had a profound foundation and that Li Xuewu had extraordinary powers.
Putting down the documents in his hand, Parker nodded with a smile and said, "It's a good idea. I think this project has great potential."
"Thank you"
Li Xuewu seemed to see through his thoughts and did not dwell on this project. He continued to introduce the picture album.
After visiting the rolling mill, steel mill and shipyard, Li Xuewu showed him the tertiary industry factory, Tianjin Trade Management Center and the joint enterprise introduction.
The last page was a national map with small red flags erected in cities where steel mills had established partnerships and offices.
"Oh--"
Parker looked at the cities marked on the paper film, as well as the associated company and office marks, and asked in surprise, "Are you already building your own sales network?"
"Integration, connecting the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and forming an in-depth enterprise integrating humanities, travel, scientific research, teaching, production, sales, and convalescence."
Li Xuewu pointed to several key cities and introduced: "This, this, this, this, and this are the selected cities for offices to be developed this year."
Combining the previous introduction to joint enterprises and trade, Parker knew that the office that Li Xuewu mentioned was actually the prototype of a sales subsidiary.
It has an integrated management structure including sales, procurement, finance, maintenance and after-sales, and is called a branch.
However, as the overall architecture continues to improve, these branch structures can independently complete incubation and extension to form subsidiaries and third-level branches.
The establishment of an office in each large or key city means that the province has a development anchor.
Next, we will create a provincial sales company and extend it to municipal branches, during which time we can also incubate independent projects.
By then, the steel rolling mill will use Beijing as the main control brain, Tianjin as the core eye, and Steel City as the hematopoietic heart, with tentacles spread across the country, and the domestic sales situation of products will be completely opened up.
With Tianjin as the key node and Yingcheng as a transportation springboard, goods will go out of the country and into the world. This giant beast with both internal and external strengths will break down all trade barriers with its low prices and high-quality and efficient weapons.
Even in the face of siege and blockade, it will not affect its rapid development. On the contrary, it will give it stronger power, and the products produced will be more refined and cheaper.
By that time, factories and enterprises of the same type can only passively compete inward, competing with it in terms of labor, technology, equipment, materials, and even culture.
Beads of sweat appeared on Pike's forehead. He knew too well the cultural heritage of this nation and this country.
When it comes to comparing culture, who can beat them?
What he was afraid of was not that the Red Star Steel Mill, a giant trust, would disrupt the pattern of world trade; what he was afraid of was that there was more than just the Red Star Steel Mill trust.
Intelligent and research-oriented enterprises can be incubated around the capital, production and manufacturing enterprises can be incubated around the Steel City, and trade and exchange enterprises can be incubated around Tianjin.
The three points are interconnected and interdependent. In the end, the more incubations there are, the more integrated enterprises there will be, and finally a particularly large trust economic consortium will be formed.
This is only in the north. If this kind of group-type, integrated trust appears in the south where the climate and industrial production environment are better, wouldn’t that be another Russian one?
Pike slowly raised his stiff neck. He had been too focused just now and even ignored politeness and courtesy. He smiled apologetically at Li Xuewu and the other man.
“It’s really shocking, indeed.”
He shook his head and sighed: "I believe there are many projects and content that you have not introduced, but I can imagine how big such an enterprise is."
Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and gave him an expression that said, "Yes, you guessed it," but there was no reward.
"You should be aware that the nature of our enterprise is collective and is owned by an organization."
He looked at Pike and explained seriously: "The creation and development of all factories must meet the needs of the times, the needs of the people, and the needs of the organization."
"At the same time, the tertiary industry that applies to and serves the joint enterprises is another exploration of the economy compared to market liberalization."
Li Xuewu tapped the document at hand and reminded: "We need foreign trade to maintain the introduction of technology and equipment, and then quickly improve the existing production level."
"Perfect layout and management ideas"
Pike nodded in agreement, then leaned back, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is this your work, Mr. Li?"
He suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "It's quite characteristic of your style. It's more perspective and forward-looking."
“It is the result of collective thinking and labor”
Li Xuewu explained seriously, then smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Parker observes me very carefully."
"Hahaha!"
Pike laughed out loud, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Xuewu again, and said seriously: "Thank you for your invitation, I think this trip will be a pleasant one."
"Of course!"
Li Xuewu emphasized with a smile.
-
This truck was originally going to the Tianjin Aquatic Products Company, so Zhang Changming was already waiting when it arrived at the dispatch freight station.
"Hahaha!"
Li Xuewu was the first to step out of the car, and took the initiative to reach out and hug Zhang Changming who was coming towards him.
"Oh--"
Zhang Changming originally wanted to shake hands with Li Xuewu, but he didn't expect this bastard to be so enthusiastic.
But just as he was about to push Li Xuewu away, he heard him whisper something in his ear.
"it is true?"
"It can't be fake"
Li Xuewu looked at him with surprise, smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Please don't blame me for bringing too many friends."
"How can that be possible? I can't even welcome you soon enough!"
Zhang Changming looked at Li Xuewu with a smile, and then, after the other party's introduction, he began to greet the people getting off the bus.
Li Xuewu introduced everyone to him, including Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, who followed behind and looked around like two huskies.
"The car is ready, go directly to the dock"
As the host, Zhang Changming had originally prepared a boat for going out to sea, but when he heard Li Xuewu say that he had borrowed a yacht, he naturally chose the better one.
As for the fuel costs, that was not within his consideration. Why would he care about the fuel costs when he could discuss things on the yacht?
It's not just the fuel, but the materials and manpower required are huge.
Last night he had arranged for someone to contact the yacht to deliver a lot of things, and this morning he even arranged for professional service personnel to board the boat in advance.
The car was a minibus, and the riding experience was definitely not as comfortable as in later generations.
However, everyone could get on the bus, and one bus went directly to the dock, which made communication more convenient.
It was a busy time in Tianjin at around nine o'clock. Whether at the fishery company or on the street, people in the car suppressed their inner excitement while looking at the scenery outside the window.
Li Xuewu and Zhang Changming sat together, with Xue Zhifu and Pike sitting nearby.
The car was not going very fast, and everyone arrived at the dock while chatting.
“It’s so beautiful~”
When Parker saw the Geely Star yacht, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Xue Zhifu and Bao Peigang were amazed when they saw it for the first time. The art of the ship broke their stereotypes about transportation tools for the first time.
While they were watching the cruise ship, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, who had been here once, boarded the ship early with their backpacks.
The wind in the Haihe River is very strong. Standing on the dock and feeling the cold wind is much cooler than walking on the street.
It's not a feeling at all. Standing here will give you a freezing and piercing feeling.
Zhang Changming had seen this ship a long time ago. It attracted a lot of attention when it was parked here.
Many people were wondering who the boat belonged to and why it was so high-end.
Of course, not many people know the owner of the ship, but there are some people who know that the ship is under the jurisdiction of the Red Star Trade Management Center opposite.
But that is a formal organizational unit, and people without connections can't even get through the gate.
"Get on the boat first, and we'll talk slowly on the way out to sea"
Zhang Changming invited them, "The fishing gear is ready. I have also prepared a chef who is best at cooking seafood."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang"
Parker took the initiative to express his gratitude. Although he was not the only one invited today, he still felt honored by the hospitality.
Zhang Changming was good at talking. He gestured to Li Xuewu and said politely, "Director Li's friends are my friends. You're too polite."
Li Xuewu was standing on the dock dealing with Bao Peigang. This guy had seen a lot of things, but he had never seen such a luxurious cruise ship.
"From your factory?"
Bao Peigang pointed at the Geely Star and asked Li Xuewu, "I only heard you talk about the shipyard, but I didn't expect..."
"You think too much, hahahaha"
Li Xuewu did not feel embarrassed. He motioned him to get on board and said as he walked: "We can build it, but we are afraid that after we build it, our factory leaders will all go in."
"Oh? Oh, hahaha!"
Bao Peigang also reacted and covered up his embarrassment with loud laughter, and said apologetically: "I thought it was something else."
“That’s what I’m talking about.”
Li Xuewu smiled and winked at him, then they went up the gangway together.
The captain, wearing a white coat, shook hands and saluted every guest who came on board.
Li Xuewu returned a standard salute and then shook hands with him to express his gratitude.
Everyone gathered in the cabin's living room. Warm clothes had been hung in the closet at the reminder of the service staff. Now they no longer looked bulky and were much more convenient.
The composition of today's guests can be seen from their seating positions.
Liu Shaozong and two other people sat together, Bao Peigang and Pike sat with Xue Zhifu, and Zhang Changming sat on the single sofa and chatted with Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun.
He was also curious when he suddenly saw Li Xuewu taking two little girls out to play.
"What are the plans for today?"
Li Xuewu hung up his coat, walked into the living room with a smile, and asked Zhang Changming, "Are we going to the sea to eat seafood?"
"Of course not, we agreed to go fishing!"
Zhang Changming turned around and introduced to Li Xuewu: "We expect to reach the core location of Bohai Bay in an hour."
He looked at his watch and said, "The sun is shining brightly and it's not too cold now. Let's compete to see who can get the most before lunch."
After that, he turned to the other guests and asked, "It's less than an hour, even if it's just a warm-up, do you have any objections?"
"Hahaha, I don't care."
Bao Peigang sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand, and waved his hand with a smile, saying: "I don't have any sea fishing skills, I just came out for fun!"
“I agree with Director Bao’s opinion.”
Liu Shaozong crossed his legs and said with a smile: "I have no experience in river fishing, I came here purely for this rare opportunity."
He said to Zhang Changming: "But I have to ask one more question. If we don't get anything this morning, won't we go hungry?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing his joke, everyone in the room laughed. It would be a joke if they really went to the sea hungry.
Zhang Changming waved his hand and explained with a smile: "Fishing is also fishing. The other seafood ingredients have been prepared. We have no shortage of this."
After that, he pointed in the direction of the kitchen and introduced: "It's ready now. We'll eat on time at 12 o'clock, so no one will go hungry."
"Director Liu has been hungry since he received the news yesterday. He has been waiting for your meal."
Gao Yaqin glanced at Liu Shaozong and joked with a smile.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Zhang Changming waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all comrades and friends. Now that you have come to me, I will definitely satisfy you."
"Director Li, shall we go to the front?"
After he finished his introduction, he stood up at the signal of his secretary and greeted Li Xuewu at the same time.
Li Xuewu nodded and gestured to everyone, "You guys continue chatting. Vice President Zhang and I will go meet the captain. We will set sail soon."
These words were spoken to the guests and also to consult Xue Zhifu.
Xue Zhifu smiled and nodded. As the host, he took over the baton from Li Xuewu and took the initiative to greet the guests.
Although he doesn't speak English, the translator is always there and doesn't affect everyone's chat.
Seeing Li Xuewu leaving the living room, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun followed him.
Li Xuewu turned around and asked, and the two just said that they were going to the bedroom to rest because they had gotten up too early in the morning and were still sleepy.
"Be careful not to oversleep, or I'll throw you onto an uninhabited island!"
"Humph!"
-
"You are a ghost!"
After meeting the captain with Zhang Changming and shaking hands and exchanging a few words with several ship managers, the order to set sail was confirmed.
This is just politeness and formality. If you ask Li Xuewu to learn about sailing seriously, he won't do it.
When the yacht left the dock, the two men came back from the cockpit. Zhang Changming signaled to Li Xuewu and then went to the restaurant.
His personality is somewhat similar to Li Xuewu's. He is easy-going and playful, but he is serious and reliable in his work.
He spoke so politely in the living room and always made sure that the meals for lunch, dinner, midnight snack, and tomorrow morning met his standards.
After parting with him, Li Xuewu walked towards the living room and made an appointment to take him to meet the British later.
But just as he turned the corner of a guest room, he was startled by a figure that suddenly appeared.
"Fuck your uncle!"
Li Xuewu broke out in a cold sweat. He held the gun in his hand, but he moved his fingers away and almost fired it.
"When did you come back?!"
"What's wrong with you? This is China!"
Ji Weidong was also shocked. He just wanted to play a joke on Li Xuewu, but he almost ended up sending himself to the King of Hell.
If he really went to the underworld, and people asked him how he got there, what would he say?
You were joking with your friend and he got shot?
This is a fucking joke from hell!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hit Li Xuewu with a stick, and said with a gasp: "How many people want to kill you? I'm scared to death!"
"I really should kick you into the sea!"
Li Xuewu looked around and luckily there was no one in the corridor at the moment, otherwise he would have given someone a scare.
He put away the gun in his hand and pushed the bastard who suddenly appeared into the cabin.
"You haven't told me yet, when did you come back?"
"I rushed back as soon as I received your message. Damn! I'm so tired!"
Ji Weidong kept complaining, then he threw himself on the sofa, looked at Li Xuewu and said with a grin, "I heard you have a son?"
"none of your business!"
Li Xuewu sat on the cabinet at the door with his legs raised, looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you say hello when you came back? Did you have a lot of fun?"
"What is my identity? Keep it a secret, understand?"
Ji Weidong curled his lips, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Now, there are less than a handful of people in the mainland who know that I'm back. This time it's top secret."
"Get lost, there are more than five people in our factory who know you."
Li Xuewu grabbed an apple from the cupboard, took a bite, pointed at him and said, "Don't tell me you sneaked back by yourself."
"Bullshit, who do you think I am? I am also organized and disciplined, okay?"
Ji Weidong stood up, took a cigarette from the coffee table and lit it, then gestured to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu waved his hands, shook the apple in his hand and said: "I have to quit smoking. It's not good for the children."
"What the fuck?"
Ji Weidong stared at him with his eyes wide open, as if he didn't know him, and asked, "Are you serious?"
“What’s real or fake?”
Li Xuewu walked to the bedside and sat down, saying: "I'm slowly trying to control myself. I don't have a smoking addiction to begin with."
After saying that, she nodded at him and asked, "Are you coming home this time?"
"What do you think? You have a son!"
Ji Weidong curled his lips, sat opposite Li Xuewu, sighed and said: "I don't even know what to say when the child is born."
"say what?"
Li Xuewu looked him over and said, "Tell me about your romantic affairs, partying every night?"
"I didn't! It was all just a show!"
Ji Weidong defended himself: "Besides, this is all for work. I am not tempted at all. Those are just paper tigers."
"Well, your awareness is enough to get you shot, you are just a paper tiger."
Li Xuewu glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "We don't talk about this now, we talk about being advanced."
"What a coincidence! I am the first to come in!"
Ji Weidong flicked the ash off his cigarette and emphasized while smoking: "I've advanced myself, and it's not advanced enough?"
"Oh, right!"
He suddenly remembered something and ran to the suitcase at the end of the bed to search.
Just like a mouse digging a hole, he searched for a long time before he walked over to Li Xuewu with a box in his hand and gestured to give it to him.
"What the hell is this?"
Li Xuewu took a look at the purple packaging box and found it quite pretty.
The key point is that there is a bow on it. The "gay" element is a bit too much!
He looked at Ji Weidong with some suspicion and asked, "For me?"
"Bullshit! It's for my godson!"
Ji Weidong stuffed the box into Li Xuewu's hand, walked back to his seat and explained: "No other token of thanks, I don't know how to buy anything, so I just bought a set of gold locks."
"real or fake?"
Li Xuewu seemed to be blinded by the money and really opened the box and started to look at it.
The box was lined with soft cloth and fixed with a gold lock the size of a child's fist. The style was extremely exquisite and it even made a clanging sound.
It is a small pendant bell, called "dangling" in the north. Families with good taste will hang a horse collar on the gate when they have a son.
When making a longevity lock for a boy, people usually choose a pendant with a bell.
To be more specific, it may be a pursuit and implication of martial arts in ancient times.
A man of aspirations looks forward to his ambitions and rides across the world.
Li Xuewu took a closer look at it, but couldn't bear to bite it because it was not solid and would break easily if he bit it too hard.
"Isn't it Shajin?"
He nonchalantly criticized: "I heard that there is a kind of fake gold in the south that looks just like the real thing."
“…You…”
Ji Weidong had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth as he said, "You are still so shameless! Give me back my coat!"
"Hey - you still remember it!"
Li Xuewu glanced at him, put away the gold lock in his hand, shook it and said: "It's thoughtful, thank you."
After saying thank you, he muttered, "It's a pity it's not solid."
"and this!"
Ji Weidong was too lazy to waste time talking to him and threw another document over.
Li Xuewu picked up the phone and looked at it while saying, "Why do you worry so much? I was just teasing you. A gold lock will be enough. Why give me a house as a gift?"
"I send you……"
Ji Weidong's words rolled over in his mouth several times, but he still managed not to curse out loud. This bastard's shamelessness was so damn similar to his own.
"Car? You bought it so quickly?"
Li Xuewu knew that this couldn't be the title deed to the house, so he deliberately gave it to Ji Weidong.
After reading the documents, I found out that the bus that Ji Weidong had purchased from the port city a few days ago had arrived.
"I mean what I said, I am polite"
Li Xuewu didn't care about Ji Weidong's expression, and said with a smile: "You really don't want to give me a house?"
"I gave you a set, you want another one?"
Ji Weidong waved his hands, turned his head away and didn't want to look at him, and snorted: "The leaders of your factory really know how to enjoy themselves. They want such a nice car."
"How can you say that!"
Li Xuewu put away the documents and explained: "This car is not specially prepared for the leaders, it is for welcoming inspections and entertaining customers."
"That's luxurious enough, an imported bus with a super luxurious chassis."
Ji Weidong put out his cigarette, turned around and looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Did your factory really send it?"
"Bullshit, now I have to borrow money to live."
Li Xuewu pointed in the direction of the living room and introduced: "Today we are going to entertain the God of Wealth. We are from the Dongcheng Credit Union and we are serving some traditional Chinese cuisine."
"Hey, that's interesting."
Ji Weidong looked at Li Xuewu and smiled evilly, saying, "You made a lot of money in Yangcheng last year, and now you say you have no money to live on!"
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me, how much did your factory leaders give you?"
"Well, if everyone in the organization is a villain like you, then there's no point in pursuing a career."
Li Xuewu glanced at him and emphasized: "This year the steel rolling mill will invest in more than a dozen projects at the same time, not including scientific research."
"Just think about how much money you have to spend."
He stood up and asked Ji Weidong: "How many days will you stay when you come back? If you stay longer, I won't entertain you."
"Hey, hey! What are you doing?"
Ji Weidong raised his hand to stop him and said, "Tell me about that fat sheep in Kuwait. I came back specifically to slaughter him."
"Who told you, Fatty?"
Li Xuewu sat back on the bed, looked at him and said, "If you want to approach him with this mentality, I advise you to pack up and go back to Gangcheng as soon as possible."
After saying that, he threw away the apple in his hand, washed his hands with the tea in the cup, and introduced: "For an order of 10 million, I'd better find a reliable person to handle it, so that I can feel at ease."
"I'm the safest one!"
Ji Weidong sneered, then asked sideways: "Tell me, what's going on? Our leader called me and told me that if I can get this order, I can at least do a few more big projects."
“You don’t have to tell me this.”
Li Xuewu looked at him and reminded: "I can think of you guys, but the business is totally mismatched, so I can only entrust it to you."
“Easy to talk about”
Ji Weidong smiled and said shamelessly: "We are willing to do this kind of business with no capital. It makes money quickly and is exciting."
"An international trader from Kuwait, mainly dealing in hardware and farm tools, and also doing some arms trading on the side"
Li Xuewu began to introduce and told Ji Weidong the weapons part of the 10 million order, as well as the trade-related demands.
Finally, he reminded Ji Weidong not to treat others as fools, otherwise he would be a big fool.
Ji Weidong pondered for a moment, narrowed his left eye slightly and asked: "Have you ever thought that there may be other problems here?"
He moved his fingers and said, "What if he is not from Kuwait? Or even if he is from Kuwait, isn't he selling his products in Africa?"
"None of my business!"
Li Xuewu raised his eyelids and said, "He is an alien. As long as the money is paid, I will do this business. If I don't make money, I am stupid, are you stupid?"
"You're not stupid! You can't just ignore us if you take our place!"
Ji Weidong stood up and sneered, "What the hell are you talking about experimental cooperation and follow-up investigation? Bullshit!"
He spread his hands and cursed: "If these weapons are leaked out, where can I follow them? Can I visit the natives' homes and pay them a return visit?"
"Sir, I am a representative of a weapons manufacturer, and I came to visit you specially."
Ji Weidong performed vividly: "I came here this time just to ask you whether these five-six style and 66-6 style are very cruel and enjoyable to hit people!"
"How should I answer, sir?"
Ji Weidong stared at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you saying it's so cool?!"
"Fuck! You really have a talent for acting!"
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement, shook his head slightly and said: "If I had known you a few years earlier, I would definitely suggest you to apply to the Film Academy."
"Get lost! I'm just acting with you!"
Ji Weidong curled his lips and said fiercely: "I've made it clear to you, our leader said that this time we want 20% of the profit, no negotiation."
"Twenty percent? Why aren't you guys dying of starvation?"
When Li Xuewu heard him grinning, the smile disappeared from his face. He glared and cursed, "I just sent you back alone to take away 20%?"
"Hey! Do you have some conscience?"
Ji Weidong said harshly: "How can it be me alone? We have to take so much risk and go through so many convenient procedures."
"Okay! You want 20%, right?"
Li Xuewu stood up, nodded and said, "So I don't need you anymore, okay?"
"Hey! What are you doing!"
Ji Weidong grabbed Li Xuewu who was about to leave and asked with glaring eyes: "Are all the people in your factory stingy?"
"Yicheng, do you want love?"
Li Xuewu stiffened his neck, looked at him and said: "Even this 10% was something I took the initiative to help you get. After all, it's just a name on the list, to help you out."
He patted Ji Weidong on the chest and reminded him: "Don't be so greedy, it will not do you any good."
"Don't worry, you won't die!"
Ji Weidong rolled his eyes, let go of Li Xuewu's arm, scratched his head and said: "How am I going to explain it when I go back? Our leader also said that we can give some benefits."
"That's easy."
Li Xuewu stomped on the yacht under his feet and suggested with raised eyebrows: "How about a speedboat with four or five high-speed engines? It can fly and the sailors from the port city will definitely not be able to catch it."
"I really am... Oh my god!"
Ji Weidong was about to curse, but then he frowned and said meaningfully, "How did you think of this way to make money?"
"Oh - I see!"
He nodded at Li Xuewu and said with a wicked smile: "Are you going to cause trouble again?"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and said, "It's the same as Dongfeng Shipping, 25%, we will help you with the formalities, do you want to do it?"
"Fuck it!"
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and said: "Let's talk about it when you have figured out how to play in Hong Kong City."
"Oh, yes, that Art."
When he was getting up to leave, Li Xuewu reminded him, "Don't make things too awkward. This is not a one-time deal. It might be beneficial to your future development."
"If you want to do me a favor, why not introduce me to that English guy?"
Ji Weidong walked him to the door and said, "I've seen that Smith Parker. He's been active in Hong Kong's business community for many years and is a big shot in Watsons."
"I'll meet him first, he's a bit experienced"
Li Xuewu blinked his eyes and said as if to warn: "I suspect he has other intentions. Can you help me check his background?"
"give it to me"
Ji Weidong waved his hand and said, "You go and entertain them first, I'll go out to find you later."
"We're going fishing later, but you don't like it"
As Li Xuewu walked out, he said, "Just stay here and think about your Art."
"What the hell is Art? Damn it!"
Ji Weidong closed the cabin door while cursing, and the sound echoed in the corridor.
There was a lively conversation going on in the living room, with people from several systems sitting together, feeling less cautious and more casual.
But because of the British presence, everyone was relatively serious and no one joked around.
Parker seemed to enjoy interacting with mainlanders, and listened with a smile to the translator's retelling of everyone's conversation.
The translation has interval restrictions and he cannot keep up with the pace of speech, so he will only say a few more words when asked.
"Come on, Director Li."
Bao Peigang waved to Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "We were just talking about this ship, please introduce it to me."
“The boat is not ours”
Li Xuewu looked at a few people and said with a smile: "Yingcheng Shipyard is cooperating with Geely Star on a yacht project. This ship belongs to Mr. Andrew, the boss of Geely Star."
"Andrew, have you seen"
He spoke to Pike in English, then grabbed a drink from the bar and walked towards the sofa area.
"If Director Bao really likes it, you might as well give it a try. Our shipyard can really build it."
"Forget it! You're embarrassing me!"
Bao Peigang glanced at Li Xuewu, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Your Director Li is afraid of making mistakes, but I am not afraid?"
"Well, it depends on how you put it."
Li Xuewu sat on the sofa, raised his hand and pointed to the cabin and said: "This thing is a luxury, but if it is used in the right place, it will become a necessity."
"Don't hurt me!"
Bao Peigang smiled bitterly and said, "If we really have this necessity, you will make money, but I will be exhausted to death!"
