Chapter 1044: The Mountain is High and the Road is Long
After coming out of the office area, Wang Xiaoqin personally saw him to the door, and the two talked for a while.
Li Xuewu knew that she had something to say, and everyone else knew it too, so he let her speak it out.
"Something happened at the steel mill?"
Wang Xiaoqin frowned and asked, "I heard that it was your department's disciplinary inspection team that arrested him?"
"Did you hear all this?"
Li Xuewu nodded with amusement and helplessness, and said: "It is a misunderstanding. Our Director Li is coordinating and handling it. I believe there will be results soon."
"It has nothing to do with you, just be careful"
Wang Xiaoqin warned: "The situation is a little bit wrong now. Some people are unwilling to give in and are looking for trouble everywhere. Maybe they have set their sights on you."
"There's nothing we can do about it. People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of getting fat."
Li Xuewu sighed helplessly and said: "But now is the time when the steel rolling mill needs to be strong and we have to work hard to move forward."
"Grouping, huh? Thinking of advancing?"
Wang Xiaoqin nodded and said: "Stay hidden, there are tall guys supporting us. They will benefit the most, so naturally we should let them go first."
"Especially you, you are prone to attracting bad guys and it is also easy for bad guys to push you to take the blame!"
"Well, I'm thinking, this matter is a bit vague"
Li Xuewu rubbed his chin and said: "The factory's promotion has been planned for a long time. The goal of groupization is actually an opportunity to achieve independent management."
He paused and said: "There will definitely be problems during this period, both internal and external, and they still have to be dealt with slowly."
"So that's the plan for today?"
Wang Xiaoqin raised her eyebrows and reminded: "Don't play it too big, otherwise you won't be able to bear the loss alone, and no one will pay attention to you when you want to do things next time."
"Okay, I understand. It's not a big deal."
Li Xuewu's plans are all out in the open and are an open conspiracy. Everyone attending the meeting today is well aware of this.
Qi Yaowu had already boarded the steel mill, and now that the cooperation had developed to this level, there was basically no need to discuss any further relationship.
Interests have long implicated the two sides together. Li Xuewu wants to use the influence of the Wei San Group to protect the steel mill. Isn't the Wei San Group also reaping the dividends of the steel mill's development?
So both sides had a tacit understanding, and Political Commissar Zhao bluntly put forward his opinions and requirements. The issue of fertilizers and agricultural machinery had to be solved at the steel mill.
Li Xuewu can do it on his own, but this is not the way to do the job, it is a thankless task.
On behalf of the steel rolling mill, he also put forward specific needs and requirements, and Qi Yaowu and others gathered together to discuss and agreed.
Only if the steel rolling mill is good can the Wei San Regiment be better.
Hongxing Village is the steel rolling mill’s base on the mountain, and many inconvenient tasks are carried out on the mountain.
Moreover, the steel rolling mill’s confidential communications station is also on the mountain, so there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
The Weisan Group will support the key points of agricultural development with Hongxing Village as the basis and origin, which will inevitably be much easier than other directions.
And as the cooperation deepens, the relationship between the two parties becomes more solid, and it can be promoted and reported as an achievement in the future.
It is more convenient to connect with steel rolling mills in industry and carry out in-depth cooperation, including forging equipment and facilities, production of directional equipment and equipment, etc.
At least forging production in Steel City can be marked and protected to a certain extent.
Li Xuewu suggested that the management of iron and steel affairs be mainly carried out by the Iron and Steel Institute. Naturally, since the parties had a basis for cooperation, the Iron and Steel Institute invested more in the factory's educational institutions, and Li Xuewu provided more security guarantees to the other party.
Even if Vice President Pei Dayu is worthless, he doesn't have to lower himself to a deputy director.
However, when the deputy director was able to provide him with special protection, the two sides naturally became friends.
Looking at the problems and conflicts that have arisen in various units because of the three branches, Pei Dayu now knows how to get along with the steel rolling mill and Li Xuewu.
The first major move he made after taking office was to launch comprehensive cooperation with steel mills.
The development of school-enterprise cooperation involves all aspects, even including the exchange of cadres and the integration of scientific research forces.
The Iron and Steel College obtains a stable and guaranteed source of students through the factory-affiliated educational institutions, and will not have as many impactful accidents as is the case now.
It is also a kind of technology and capacity output to the steel mill. In the future, more students from the Iron and Steel Institute will become leaders of the steel mill. What this means is self-evident.
This year, the Iron and Steel Institute has sent so many outstanding college students to the steel rolling mill, which are just seeds.
Therefore, the Steel Institute gave the rolling mills everything they could, and the rolling mills also had to provide paired protection and support.
The steel mill itself does not have the ability to directly intervene in education, but its cooperative units do.
The branch bureau can play a role, and the Wei San Regiment can also play a role now. In the future, perhaps the Iron and Steel Institute will also be able to reap dividends from foreign trade cooperation.
There is actually a lot to say about military training. Just like Wang Xiaoqin said, don't overdo it.
But what is considered excessive? Is it excessive to arrest people from the steel mill without making any noise?
Li Huaide wants to retaliate from top to bottom, while Li Xuewu wants to attack from bottom to top.
All the related units involved this time will be under the influence of the Wei San Group in the future. Don't be anxious now, just wait and see.
According to Li Xuewu's method, he naturally wouldn't use his own hands to play with these old things, but if he wanted to play with them, he would play them to death.
The other party can shout start but cannot shout stop.
When Wang Xiaoqin saw his answer, she knew that he was confident and perhaps had planned this move in advance.
She knew Li Xuewu's ability, and she wanted to plan when to go to the toilet in ten days.
It may sound a bit exaggerated, but if you ask him what he will do in ten days, he can definitely name a few things.
"Be cautious about agricultural machinery and fertilizers"
Wang Xiaoqin reminded: "I know you have ideas, but these are scarce materials now, especially in such large quantities."
“Also, the club.”
She actually came out to bring up this matter. She looked at Li Xuewu and reminded him, "It's almost May. You have to participate in the recruitment and review, expansion and construction of members. This is very important."
"I was thinking, there's a lot going on at the factory lately, so I haven't been going to the club as much."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Let's meet on the weekend and discuss things. After the official operation, the daily management will be handed over to the management office."
"That's it, just keep it in mind."
Wang Xiaoqin smiled and said, "I went to see Director Zheng yesterday. He mentioned you and said that you are so busy that he can't see you often. You should visit him more often."
"How is he doing?"
Li Xuewu curled the corner of his mouth and said: "It's not that I can't see anyone, it's that I don't dare to go to the police station."
"Haha, you asked for it, who can you blame?"
Wang Xiaoqin chuckled, glanced at him, and said, "Director Zheng is not in a good condition, and Director Gao is also in a difficult situation. They are having a hard time and there are many problems with their policies."
"Especially the management of the powerful departments. The higher-ups use them but are afraid of them. The city has changed them again. Do you know about this?"
"I don't know much about it. I heard about it when the city's industrial leader came to investigate last time."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "I try not to cause trouble now. I wish I could stay at home and not go out."
"You're at home taking care of your child, right? You must be so happy to have a son." Wang Xiaoqin smiled and said, "When will we host the banquet? It's already the full moon, right?"
"No more treats, I'll treat you guys to dinner later"
Li Xuewu smiled and blinked, saying: "When the club is ready, we will call our friends and have a drink."
"Okay, I understand what you mean."
Wang Xiaoqin nodded and said, "It's good that you are on guard. It's really good if the child is well. Wait until the child is older, bring him out and show him to us."
"Well, wait for the bigger one."
Li Xuewu nodded, pointed to the car, and said, "Then I'll go back to the factory. I have a few meetings to attend. Director Zheng..."
He thought for a while and said, "If I go to see him now, it would be like adding fuel to the fire. I should wait and see. There is still a long way to go."
"I'm just telling you, just keep it to yourself." Wang Xiaoqin nodded, waved to him and said, "Go back, goodbye."
"hehe--"
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, then got on the command vehicle.
Regarding Zheng Fuhua, Li Xuewu was very clear about where he was stuck. His overly serious personality would inevitably lead to conflicts on some issues.
The higher-ups didn't want any problems within the system, but a big problem occurred at the branch office.
It is estimated that the impact will not be felt immediately or attributed to individuals, but the results have already appeared.
Wang Xiaoqin just mentioned that the people above have been replaced, but this is of no use to Zheng Fuhua.
He has reached his ceiling. Unless the people above him are replaced, no one will worry that his progress will affect themselves, let alone the situation.
But where can we find such people? There are many people who are selfless in selecting and employing people these days, but it also depends on their level.
Judging from Zheng Fuhua's case, he will most likely retire from his position as deputy director.
Gao Zhen can give it a try. He has a chance. Even if he doesn't make any progress, he can still be transferred to another position. At least he can take a step forward in solving his salary problem before retirement.
No matter how well he completes his work under the current circumstances, this can be guaranteed as long as there are no ideological or serious mistakes.
Actually, it’s unfair. The problem at the branch is not the root cause. It is entirely related to the changes in the situation.
It mainly depends on Lai Shanchuan. This person has been investigated and there is no problem with his own situation. The problem lies entirely in his poor parenting skills.
It is very clear that it is not a big deal for him to have certain connections. In his position, he cannot do the job well without connections.
But the situation was so disturbing that Lai Yide wanted to try his luck and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle, especially since he was dissatisfied with his father's current position.
The last time they suffered Li Xuewu's ruthless beating, the father and son's moods changed a little.
Lai Yide, the medicine, completely opened Lai Shanchuan's heart. Especially with the frequent communications with his superiors, he no longer had the energy to work down to earth.
It is only a matter of time before he gets into trouble. Even if nothing happens during this period, or in the next seven or eight years, he will not be able to escape in the future, and his crime will be even greater by then.
His death was entirely his own fault. He was willing to die and had to die. The result of not dying would be to confess to the organization, there is no doubt about that.
As long as Lai Yide is still alive, Lai Shanchuan will definitely find a way out for his son.
But does he dare to confess?
Lai Shanchuan is impeccable at work. Even if there are some mistakes, they are still within the normal range.
Zheng Fuhua only had a working relationship with him, so the branch did not have to take too much responsibility for him.
But things happened. Even a little negligence and bias in his work caused immeasurable serious consequences.
If the situation had not changed to the point of affecting their state of mind, and had not given them the courage to cross the line, would there have been today's outcome?
Li Xuewu felt that what happened was not accidental, but inevitable.
Maybe even Gao Zhen and Zheng Fuhua don’t feel that they are wronged. This is a loophole that has accumulated over time in the management process.
There are not so many ifs. No one's life and work can be reversed, just like Lai Shanchuan cannot come back to life to explain everything.
-
"Let's just say, which factory that manufactures and sells cars also has to provide driving training services!"
Xia Zhongquan stared at Li Xuewu with his eyes wide open and asked, "Just tell me, which factory did this?"
“Well, no one does that.”
Li Xuewu smiled, took a sip of hot tea, looked at the several prototypes parked on site and said, "Just because no one is doing it doesn't mean we can't do it. Are there any regulations?"
"You--you are such a talent!"
Xia Zhongquan was nearly knocked over by him, and he sat on the chair and rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to provide maintenance services?"
"Haven't you heard?"
Li Xuewu looked at him and raised his eyebrows. He said, "The Personnel Department and the Sales Department are organizing the transferred workers to receive car maintenance training. What do you think they are going to do?"
"What! There's really a maintenance service?!"
Xia Zhongquan was so surprised that he almost stood up. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Do you want to open a car repair shop, or do you want to open them one place at a time?"
"Don't get excited, think about it carefully"
Li Xuewu crossed his legs and asked him, "Who makes more money, selling cars or repairing cars?"
"of course--"
Xia Zhongquan was halfway through his words when he turned to the director of the vehicle management office and said, "Lao Wang, you answer this question."
Wang Zhi looked at him amusedly and said, "Deputy Director Li didn't ask me, and I'm not in charge of sales and maintenance."
"But I think repairing cars is more profitable."
He pointed at Li Xuewu and said to Xia Zhongquan: "I trust Deputy Director Li more. He will never do business at a loss."
"Hey! You are blindly worshipping someone else!"
Xia Zhongquan held the teacup in his hand, blew away the tea foam, looked at Wang Zhi and said, "Are you so indecisive?"
"What do you think?"
Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who makes more money by selling cars or repairing them?"
"I said? I said I made money."
Xia Zhongquan smiled and took a sip of hot tea, saying, "If you don't take care of sales and maintenance, then I will?"
“You have to ask him this question.”
He pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "You know what, I really don't dare to answer this question without investigating it."
"It's very simple. Buying a car is temporary, but repairing a car is a lifelong thing." Li Xuewu put down his teacup, stood up and walked to the front of the finalized car and said, "Can you guarantee that these cars will not break down within a period of time?"
"Of course—I can't guarantee it!"
Xia Zhongquan also stood up. The tea from the Vehicle Engineering Research Institute was labor protection tea. It was not tasty and had too many stems.
"Don't say I can't guarantee it. Even Factory 17 can guarantee it? I don't think so!"
"But we can guarantee it!"
Li Xuewu turned his head, looked at Xia Zhongquan and said: "If there is a failure in core components within two years due to quality reasons, we will repair and replace them free of charge."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "If there is any working failure within three months, take it to the sales outlet's maintenance workshop for inspection. No repair fee will be charged, only the workpiece fee."
"All the wearing parts, including lubricants, tires, radios, etc., can be replaced and repaired in the maintenance workshop."
“A maintenance workshop cannot be as comprehensive as a steel mill, but it must have a wide range of maintenance methods.”
Li Xuewu kicked the tire of the tricycle and said: "A major repair is not as good as a minor replacement. The spare parts will be recycled and processed in a unified manner, which will bring in another source of income."
"You really deserve to be hanged!"
Xia Zhongquan grinned and said, "If we do this, people will be willing to do it. Replacing parts and repairing are two different things!"
"But what if the cost of replacing parts is less than the repair cost?" Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's free within three months, half price after three months, and full repair fee will be charged after one year."
"That is to say, the probability of failure within three months is small, but having this maintenance policy can attract more people to buy it."
Wang Zhi stood aside and figured it out. He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "During this period of three months to a year, there is a probability of minor repairs. But we charge half of the repair fee, which ensures operations and provides customers with the habit of replacing parts."
"What about a year from now?"
Xia Zhongquan asked the question even though he knew the answer. He still couldn't understand why Li Xuewu did this.
Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said: "After a year, more cars will be sold, the maintenance base will be larger, and the number of corporate vehicles coming to the maintenance point will form a virtuous circle."
"To put it simply, word of mouth will be maintained at a reasonable balance because of the free service in the early stage and the proactive maintenance in the later stage."
"It is this balance that will be enough for Beijing Auto to pursue for the next ten years."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "They only know that our cars are cheap, but they don't know that our service is better."
Yes, compared to the 212 Jeep, the Red Star Antelope may be slightly weaker in power, but its overall structure is lighter.
The body structure uses more lightweight materials, and its wear resistance is reduced, but we provide free repairs as long as you replace parts. After all, the cars produced by our factory are not for you to crash into walls.
Xia Zhongquan and Wang Zhi understood very well that Li Xuewu was raising pigs and scattering the piglets, and he would always harvest these pigs.
Just do it this way, won’t it cause any backlash?
Of course not, because the maintenance of exclusive models is recorded, and as long as it is a Red Star Gazelle, the operating failure can be solved in the store.
Compared with other factories that only sell but not repair, some units that do not have maintenance capabilities will definitely prefer to choose Antelope.
What's wrong with a little less power? We don't drive on extreme roads every day. As long as the safety and load-bearing capacity of official vehicles are guaranteed, the overall strength of the Red Star Antelope is definitely better than that of the 212.
The trick Li Xuewu used was to target customers first and profiteers later.
You can't say that the sales outlet is unscrupulous. After all, the maintenance guarantee provided in the previous year is considered to be a conscientious enterprise in this era.
What to do next?
The failure rate of the Jiefang brand cars owned by No. 17 is even higher, so why is no one looking for them?
As long as you can sell the products and provide good service, people will keep falling into the trap. As more people fall into the trap, the pit will become flat.
Establishing maintenance workshops at sales outlets is necessary for the diversion of personnel, the development of sales channels, and winning the automobile sales war.
Xia Zhongquan didn't understand and didn't ask, but in his heart he had already labeled Li Xuewu as a black-hearted person.
"With a load capacity of 500 tons and a power of CC, it is not much behind even when compared with light trucks."
Seeing that Li Xuewu was interested in the newly developed load-bearing tricycle, he took the initiative to introduce it: "It completely meets the definition and needs you gave."
"What about fuel consumption?"
Li Xuewu squatted beside the tricycle and looked at the body structure and the functions it was equipped with.
You know what, if there really is such a means of transportation in this era, it would definitely be a blessing for small factories or transportation units.
Large trucks have low cost-effectiveness, high utilization rate and fuel consumption, and are not suitable. This kind of three-wheeled vehicle is easy to operate and use, and has a high loading capacity.
If this thing is really deployed throughout the city for small freight transportation, it will definitely achieve a wave of rapid development.
Just by hearing about it, many companies have already placed orders. Shanghai also produces this thing, but the shipping cost to Beijing is high, and the price of the Shanghai model is a bit high.
This is not the case with the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, which has consistent price advantages, rich functionalities, and is now introducing advanced foreign technology.
It is really hard to say who is good or bad, who wins or loses.
The body frame cannot be built with cutting corners, but some of the less demanding parts will eventually have to be replaced with lighter materials.
On the one hand, it saves construction costs, and on the other hand, it reduces vehicle weight and increases load capacity.
For parts like headlights, wheel baskets, doors, etc., use alloy if possible, and use fiberglass if possible.
"Fuel consumption can't be reduced any further. It's basically reached the technical limit."
Wang Zhi said with embarrassment: "Unless the new project technology and equipment are introduced to the factory in time, we will not have time to overcome and research and improve the processing technology."
“Don’t wait, just leave space.”
Li Xuewu patted the carport and said: "Let's first make a batch of cheap cars to open up the market. Low prices will naturally come with high fuel consumption."
"There's a saying now that the more oil you drink, the more energy you have, right?
"Yes, but it sounds ridiculous and is helpless to say."
Wang Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It's because our technology is not up to standard and we are unable to reduce fuel consumption."
"It's okay, take it slow, we're just starting out"
Li Xuewu opened the car door and stepped on it to try. It was either a steering wheel or a handlebar to control the steering.
This thing is much easier to drive than a car, and it is also much easier to train.
Providing driving training services is something that must be done and is also a means of competition.
If all drivers are trained at service outlets, then their recognition of the Red Star Antelope brand will naturally be high.
"Let me ask, is this thing prone to tipping over when turning a corner?"
Li Xuewu leaned his head out of the car window and asked Xia Zhongquan. He seemed to have heard someone say that a tricycle should not turn too quickly, as it would easily lose balance.
Xia Zhongquan would not tolerate anyone slandering his work. He looked at Li Xuewu and curled his lips and said, "With the way you drive, any car can easily overturn."
“My technique is fine!”
Li Xuewu smiled and waved, "Come on, get on, I'll take you for a ride!"
"Comrade Li Xuewu!"
Xia Zhongquan glared and said, "You're starting to retaliate, right? You want to kill me!"
-
“How about a tricycle?”
Jing Yunong saw Li Xuewu coming in and asked with a smile.
Xue Zhifu then continued: "It looks like there's no problem. Where's the motorcycle?"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard the price is right, I want to buy one myself."
"I was just about to say that."
Li Xuewu put down his notebook on the conference table and introduced to several leaders who were looking at him with concern: "There is basically no problem with the load-carrying motorcycles."
"The production technology and processes are already being developed, and basically production can be achieved once the production line is built."
"The sales department needs to complete the study of basic information and maintenance training and education as soon as possible. The establishment of the office will be gradually rolled out, and the staff must keep up."
"Regarding light motorcycles, Comrade Xia Zhongquan has set a goal. After the introduction of technology and professional equipment, the established production cost price can definitely be achieved."
"That is about 300 yuan, and the selling price is controlled within 500 yuan."
"My suggestion is to start with a wave of advertising-style sales. That is to say, the cost price plus the operating price should be controlled at around 350 yuan per batch."
Li Xuewu looked at everyone and said: "As long as we can achieve production in July, we will push all the motorcycles produced in the remaining half of the year to the market at a low price."
"350 yuan, wow!"
Xue Zhifu shook his head with emotion and said: "I'm afraid tens of thousands of motorcycles will be thrown into the market for testing."
“Half sales, half promotion”
Li Xuewu explained: "We will start with internal sales. Employees of the steel rolling mill, employees of the tertiary industry, employees of joint enterprises, and employees of cooperative units will enjoy preferential policies."
"In addition, the trade line will be expanded by the end of this year. The border areas and the Northeast have both resources and money, so we will use motorcycles to open up the market."
“How many types of motorcycles?”
Cheng Kaiyuan only rested for two days before returning to work.
His spirit has returned to normal, but his attitude is a little depressed and he speaks very cautiously.
“Four types: heavy-duty three-wheeled motorcycles, light-duty three-wheeled motorcycles, 125CC motorcycles, and 50CC motorcycles”
Li Xuewu introduced: "The application environment varies depending on the motorcycle model. In any case, we must first expand the market based on low prices."
“Will we put a standard 500 yuan motorcycle on the market next year?”
Jing Yunong asked: "If you raise the price suddenly, be careful that the market tolerance response may be too strong."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the 350 yuan light motorcycle is not directly thrown into the market. The internal price can be explained."
Li Xuewu replied: "Tens of thousands of machines may seem like a lot, but in reality they are scattered and have little impact."
"What's important is that throwing away these tens of thousands of motorcycles is a reasonable response to the investors, that is, Dongcheng Credit Union."
He looked at everyone and smiled, "Ten million. Five million was spent on motorcycles. If the market is not expanded in time, future cooperation will be at a standstill."
"This is a mature industrial project. They won't lose money."
Li Huaide tapped the table with the pencil in his hand and said, "If it is not for expanding our influence, achieving diversified operations and improving our ability to resist risks, we will never introduce investment."
“It’s just a loan at best!”
He threw away the pencil in his hand and said, "It hurts. I have to share the money I earned with the children I raised. My heart feels like it's bleeding."
Several leaders felt the same way, but Li Xuewu held back and said nothing.
Old Li only saw that the project made money and had to be distributed to others, and he felt very distressed. Why didn't he think about the time when he was prominent in front of others?
When Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang, who were in charge of industry in the city, came, who said, “I want this, this, this, and this”?
He doesn't blink or feel bad when spending money, but feels bad when making money. He's really something!
"Motorcycles can basically cover all aspects of sales, which is much better than car sales."
Li Xuewu said: "The Red Star Antelope has basically been finalized. The engine may be replaced in the future, and some excellent parts may replace the current model."
"However, for the cars that started production in September, even if new engines are developed, they will not be replaced for the time being."
He emphasized: "My plan is to gradually adapt the production capacity to the improvement, reach a certain level, and then implement optimization."
"Technical reserves and leading technology, right?"
Cheng Kaiyuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you confident that the core components will surpass the Beijing Automobile Factory?"
“We can maintain the same level this year, surpass others within three years, and make them unable to catch up within five years”
Li Xuewu answered confidently: "There is a cycle for fully mastering technology, continuously improving research and development, and cultivating talents in the automotive industry."
He gestured in the direction of Li Huaide and said: "The rapid production of the automobile industry at the steel rolling mill must be attributed to the technical talents that Director Li recruited from other factories."
"Of course, these people have problems with their background and some conditions, but that does not prevent them from contributing to the automotive industry in the steel rolling mills."
"Um--"
Li Huaide pondered for a moment and said: "We also need to talk about the supply chain and independent production of core components. The automobile industry card can play a key role when played at the critical moment of promotion at the end of the year."
"I can, I have the confidence"
Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "Cheap cars do not mean cheap services, nor do they mean cheap quality. The Red Star Gazelle, Comet and Red Bull series of motorcycles will surely make a splash in the market."
"I believe in the factory's technology. No one doubts this. Haha."
Xue Zhifu scratched his hair and said, "The technical investment budget given this year has exceeded the target. Now it's time for Deputy Director Jing to worry."
“It doesn’t matter. There is no upper limit to technology investment.”
Jing Yunong smiled and said: "It is definitely difficult. I spent a year's budget in three months, but my mind is steady."
"But we must see that the fruits of technological investment are fruitful and the returns are huge."
"Director Li has emphasized the policy of scientific development and technology priority many times, and we are also studying and discussing how to cooperate in implementation."
Jing Yunong paused, looked at Li Huaide and said: "Part of the fund raising needs your review and approval, and I also want to think of a solution from the credit union."
"Loan?"
Li Huaide picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, saying: "You can raise some money for the factory's budget. This year is quite difficult. Everyone should persevere. There will be no problem on my side."
"About Loans"
He put down the teacup, thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about the specific project. Even if it's a loan, the other party must be able to repay it."
"There's going to be some movement from the lubricant series with the chemical plant. They want to participate in the oil refining project. It seems that they want to set up a separate refinery."
Jing Yunong suggested: "Why don't we get a joint loan and I'll ask the chemical plant for their opinion."
"Even if we take out a loan of 500 million and save 100 million for technology investment, it will last for a while."
She was really worried and said, "As long as we can hold on until September, we should be able to get the funds back and pay off our debts."
"Lend as much as possible, pressure is also motivation"
Li Huaide knocked on the table and said, "The purchase order flow of tens of millions is enough to repay the loan. Time waits for no one."
"That's settled then, loan."
Jing Yunong nodded and said, "I'll come down to report this work to you."
Li Huaide glanced at a few people and saw that no one had any more work to propose, so he said: "Then let's start discussing the issue of the group framework."
-
A meeting was held on March 10th, but many issues have not been finalized.
I have been working on this for the past month or so.
When Li Xuewu said he was busy, he was actually busy building the group's framework.
A group company means directly crossing over from the single management model of a factory to a multi-level, multi-departmental management method.
The most direct problem is that the establishment of a group requires the formation of a management team, including various departments and offices.
The original team of the steel rolling mill needs to be reorganized, the existing departments need to be further reduced, and the functions need to be redivided.
Now everyone has become more active and knows that there is an opportunity for advancement. There are many people eyeing the top positions in various departments.
However, although Li Xuewu saw how excited they were, he himself was not excited at all.
His path to progress has been paved; as for others competing for positions, they actually fail to see the key issue.
When a steel mill is upgraded, there may not be major changes in the management level, but changes will be made at the grassroots level.
To achieve the goal of groupization, the management level needs to change, and the changes below will be even greater.
These people keep a close eye on their colleagues, but in fact they are looking at the world from a narrow perspective.
They didn't even think about the fact that it was impossible for the higher-ups to allow the steel mill to suddenly promote a batch of section-level and division-level cadres. They would definitely have to be transferred out of the province.
Even the group headquarters and factory offices need to reorganize their organizational relationships.
What Li Huaide and others are busy doing now is to promote and train a group of cadres as much as possible before promotion.
If you get promoted at the end of the year, it will be difficult to get promoted again.
Unless the groupization goal is fully achieved, the group will have greater autonomy and more say in the use of cadres.
But it is obvious that the sand introduced into the process will not allow the steel mill to become too powerful.
Li Xuewu had a vague realization when he was cooperating in the planning and establishment of the group structure.
There will be no problem for Old Li. As long as he proceeds step by step, he will be promoted step by step. The higher-ups must give him enough face.
But as for the top managers of each factory and other important positions in the group, I'm afraid he doesn't have the final say alone.
The reason why Gu Weijie, Jing Yunong and others united was simple: they knew each other well and could cooperate.
Now is the time to unite and face the outside world, as they don't have much time left.
On the one hand, it is necessary to push the steel rolling mill onto the fast track of groupization as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it is necessary to seize the opportunity to deploy forces so as to gain an advantage in future competition.
Competition is everywhere. Lao Li is working hard, and others are also working hard.
Only a fool would start infighting at this time, wasting time and energy, and then not knowing why he failed.
However, while they are focusing on development, it does not prevent them from cutting off the previous tails and clearly seeing the hidden dangers.
When Li Xuewu went to the construction site for inspection in the afternoon, Peng Xiaoli told him a piece of news.
Yang Yuansong, the former secretary of the steel rolling mill, was transferred and was said to have gone to Shaanxi Province, to a department under the First Ministry of Machine Building.
Wow, Li Xuewu was very surprised, but also expected.
He knew that Li Huaide was going to make an effort to clean up the mess from last time, but he didn't expect that his methods would be so cruel and he would kick the man so far away.
I have to say that Shaanxi Province is a good place with outstanding people, rich resources and a long history.
But it has to be said that the big cities in that area are better. As for the general cities, their development lags far behind those in the east.
It is not easy to go to Shaanxi Province and come back. Yang Yuansong has his own connections. This is like a gecko cutting off its tail, which is its survival instinct.
If you look at his results and compare them with Yang Fengshan's, you will know that he is still somewhat calculating.
Yang Fengshan is more straightforward. Under his stubborn heart, he is isolated and does not tend to be strong. He isolates himself.
During this period, it was not unfair for him to lose to Li Huaide, nor was it unfair for him to be used as a stepping stone by Yang Yuansong.
But it must be said that Yang Fengshan is more persistent than Yang Yuansong, and at least he has some bottom line.
As for Yang Yuansong, Li Xuewu had a completely bad impression of him.
Instead of looking at his actions towards the steel mill from his own perspective, he looked at them from a third-party perspective.
In fact, Li Huaide should have known about it, and Li Xuewu had guessed it, but it was only when Cheng Kaiyuan told them everything that they realized how much Yang Yuansong had done.
We now know that the incident caused by Cheng Kaiyuan was planned and organized by him behind the scenes.
He even contacted the relevant personnel, and Cheng Kaiyuan mentioned several names, who were middle-level managers in the factory.
Li Huaide listened and kept it in mind, but he was not in a hurry to take any action.
These cadres had contact and cooperation with Yang Yuansong before, and there was an emotional relationship between them as superiors and subordinates.
There are naturally some biases when making decisions, but it does not affect their use, at least for the time being.
We still need to observe and evaluate slowly in the future. After all, it was Cheng Kaiyuan who said these names, and Li Huaide did not trust him.
What if he deliberately said a few names, or if these names were mixed with true and false ones, who would be able to tell?
If you really want to do big things, don't care about these details and just deal with problems slowly.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and managing a factory requires even more meticulousness.
In addition to the time when Cheng Kaiyuan stood up, he also provided information and suggestions when Li Xuewu was ambushed in Tianjin.
Even Li Xuewu's itinerary information was obtained by him from the factory and handed over to the other party.
This is going to kill all the key figures in the steel rolling mill, including Li Xuewu, the successor.
Even though Li Xuewu knew about it, there was nothing he could do as he couldn't get in touch with the other party, and the other party was well prepared.
You can't use violence, he is the one who uses his brain now.
But no matter how far away Shaanxi Province is, is it still possible to go abroad?
Alas, let me tell you something troublesome. I had a stomachache for three days. I couldn't bear it any longer and went to check it out. It turned out that I had a kidney stone, 4 mm, stuck in the ureter. The pain was so severe that I couldn't stand or sit. I will go to have the stone crushed tomorrow. I will try not to delay the update. I may still feel pain after the stone crushing. My weight loss journey is long. I told you last time that I started to lose weight after the checkup and heart CAT scan. I lost 16 pounds in 12 days. My mouth tasted so good that even drinking cold water tasted bad. It's difficult, but I will continue to drink and persist, exercise well, and strive to write well, long, and perfect. Thank you all for your support and concern. Thank you very much.
