Chapter 1050 God and the God of Wealth
"Who asked you to come to my house?"
As soon as Li Shu entered the room, she was questioned by the devilish aunt and was embarrassed by having her hands tapped.
She was not afraid of him at the moment. Relying on her father's presence, she stiffened her neck and said, "This is grandma's house—"
"this is my house!"
Li Xue glared at her and threatened her: "If you dare to come, I will deal with you after your father leaves."
Li Shu looked back at her father and immediately regained her composure. She turned to her aunt and said, "Then I'll take care of you when my father comes to pick me up!"
"Hahaha--!"
Zhao Yafang and Ji Yuxiu, who were watching the fun, laughed out loud, while Liu Yin patted her daughter and threatened, "If you keep teasing me, go to work!"
"Go to work and be afraid of——!"
Li Shu is very powerful now. Her father is around, her grandmother is helping, and her wife is also on the kang. She even dares to call her aunt.
"Hey! You're talking to me~"
Li Xue came over and threatened: "Believe it or not, I will strangle you right now and make you cry in pain!"
"Hehe! I won't cry!"
Li Shu let her father help her take off her outer cotton coat, and she ran into the kang with a smile on her face, like a happy calf.
The old lady also smiled and hugged her in her arms and kissed her, teasingly saying, "Is little aunt scary?"
"Scary - cluck cluck"
Li Shu huddled in her wife's arms. When she saw her aunt was about to get on the kang to punish her, she started giggling out of fear.
"Xiao Ning and her mother are doing well, right?"
Liu Yin had just cleaned up the table, and the breakfast dishes were still in the pot.
She wiped her hands, looked at her son and said, "I've always wanted to go over with your grandma, but now because the virus is so serious, I don't dare to go."
"It's fine. I'm chubby and can eat and sleep."
Li Xuewu looked at his daughter who was giggling because of her younger sister and smiled and introduced her to her mother: "Xiaoning is at work today, and Jingru is taking care of her at home."
"Yeah, you're going to work already?"
Liu Yin didn't ask about this the first few times she went there. She thought that the second daughter-in-law could also have more rest like the eldest daughter-in-law.
"What about feeding the baby? I have to run back and forth. It's so troublesome."
"This is all we can do for now. It will be fine when he's older and we can feed him with milk powder."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "She has already made arrangements with her workplace that she will take time off to go home to feed the baby during outpatient clinic hours. During surgery time, Jingru will carry the baby. It's tiring for the time being, but there's nothing we can do about it."
“This is really——Ouch~”
Liu Yin felt sorry for her grandson and daughter-in-law. She sat down next to the kang and asked worriedly, "Is Qin Jingru taking care of the child? Do you need me to go over and take care of him?"
"It's okay. There's not much to do at home. She can handle it. The child is still young and just wants to sleep."
Li Xuewu consoled him, "You have a lot of things to do here too. If you go there, you'll worry about this side too. Don't worry, don't go back and forth."
"To learn martial arts, you can ask your mom to come over."
Sister-in-law Zhao Yafang took the initiative to say: "There is nothing much to do at home, and I'm not in a hurry to go to work, so three meals a day will be enough for me."
She looked at her mother-in-law's worried expression and said, "Why don't you ask mom to go over and take a look? She's also worried about it and has something on her mind."
“I’m always thinking about how busy I am at home.”
Li Xuewu sat next to his mother, took her hand and said, "It's not that I didn't think about you, but my sister-in-law just had a baby and needs someone to take care of her."
"You can come if you need me. I'm not in a hurry."
Zhao Yafang didn't make things difficult for her mother-in-law, and took over the conversation and said, "It's fine as long as the old lady stays at home with me. Isn't it hard for us to cook for our mothers?"
"Besides, even if we can't do it, we can still starve. It's more convenient to go to the front yard and eat together."
"I agree, brother, let mom go."
Li Xue advised: "I couldn't sleep at night these few days, and I kept muttering about you."
She stood beside her mother, put her arm around her mother's shoulders and said, "There is no news from my sister-in-law yet. Let's talk about it when there is news. My third sister-in-law and I will have two meals together, and we can eat in the back room."
"Mom, that will be tiring for you."
Li Xuewu could see that his mother was really concerned about him. As soon as she entered the room, she looked at him eagerly and kept talking about him.
So the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister persuaded her, and the old lady agreed, and she took the initiative to ask her mother for help.
Liu Yin was naturally willing. That's what being a mother-in-law is like. You have to worry about this and that, and be careful not to bother your son.
It seems that Li Xuewu is so sensible and knows how to take care of the elderly's emotions in a way that makes people happy. However, his ignorant words made his mother annoyed.
Especially when there are daughters-in-law who are too busy, they complain that the elderly are unhygienic, have bad living habits, or simply do not trust the elderly to take care of the children.
She only thought about disliking her mother-in-law, but she even brought her mother home to take care of her.
It would be good if the in-laws were easy to talk to and considerate of each other, all for the good of their children.
You do the work, I do the money, for the next generation.
There are those who are very fussy. When their daughter's mother comes home, she is always trying to help her daughter calculate things. She always finds fault with her in-laws and says this and that.
In the end, after listening to her mother talk too much, the relationship between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law became increasingly strained, and finally became a big quarrel.
When the child was a little older, the mother went home. She did not take her daughter or grandson with her because they were not her family.
She left the mess behind and went home to complain about how her in-laws were bad and opposed her daughter everywhere, and how her son-in-law was not good either, and he didn't even bother to control his mother.
Just tell me, manly as a man, how this matter should be handled.
These are all family matters, who can say who is right or wrong?
The daughter-in-law worked hard and gave birth to a big fat boy. The mother worked even harder. Not only did she give birth to him and raise him, but she also had to take care of his next generation.
Faced with the unwarranted accusations from his mother-in-law and the cold ridicule from his wife, he couldn't just scold his mother and send her back home, right?
Putting your man in such a difficult situation, no matter how deep the feelings between the couple were before marriage, they are now completely discounted.
From a man's perspective, if a daughter-in-law has this attitude towards her mother, she lacks the virtues of a woman.
If you have no opinion of your own in handling relationships and only listen to what others say, you are a woman without manners.
Making sarcastic remarks to your man and accusing him of siding with the mother-in-law is just a way of speaking for women.
Even if you give birth to a son, even if you have a job and support the family, if you lose three of the four virtues, do you think a man will be satisfied with you?
On the other hand, if your man listened to you, yelled and scolded his mother, and was unfaithful and unfilial, how do you think your children will treat you in the future?
Can you guarantee that your child won’t grow up crooked?
Can you guarantee that your child will not marry a daughter-in-law like you?
It doesn't mean that all mothers-in-law in the world care about and love their daughters-in-law. There is no absolute in the world.
The "four virtues" mentioned here are only viewed from a positive perspective, and it does not deny that this ancient traditional moral code has brought negative effects to women.
Mother-in-law, mother, and daughter-in-law are all women.
Men are the core of handling these three relationships and are the key factor in determining family harmony.
Li Xuewu's favor towards Gu Ning did not include indulgence, and there was nothing in Gu Ning's family values and character that would cause him and his family to make irresponsible remarks.
Especially the attitude of Li Xuewu's family towards Gu Ning, respect, care and love, these do not need to be emphasized.
Even if Gu Ning was no longer good at handling interpersonal relationships, even if his life was monotonous and lonely, he could truly feel this simple love.
Therefore, Li Xuewu is grateful for his parents' support and care, and also thanks his wife for her understanding and tolerance.
A harmonious family brings prosperity to all; this is a truth that many people have summed up and understood thoroughly through the mistakes they have made throughout their lives.
Are you saying that there are no conflicts or disputes between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Li family?
How is that possible? There are times when lips and teeth chatter, let alone two women living together.
Not to mention the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law, don’t daughters and their mothers never have quarrels?
Sometimes, the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law will not actually quarrel, especially in well-educated families, where they will mostly get angry and then go into a cold war when they get anxious.
When Liu Yin was a daughter-in-law, she was disciplined and restricted by the old lady. She had to serve her mother-in-law, take care of her husband, and look after the children.
Is it easy for her?
Like all housewives of that period, she did all the chores at home, got up the earliest and went to bed the latest, and was the last to serve the prepared meals.
Even if he cut his hand while cutting vegetables, he didn't dare to cry out in pain, but just cleaned the wound himself.
It’s not that her family doesn’t care about her, but that she doesn’t want her family to care about her. She has become accustomed to taking charge of trivial matters, the family’s finances and the children’s education.
She has lived with the old lady for decades, and they have had their disagreements sometimes. Is it possible that she is being rude to Li Shun?
A man has to support all the expenses and costs of a family, and also use his strength to protect everyone in the family from harm.
If he is asked to worry about household chores again, the woman's status will be threatened.
There is an untested and undiscussed view that of course once a man has mastered the ability to do housework such as washing clothes and cooking while making money, his attitude towards women will undergo a qualitative change.
No, it is not necessarily a good thing, and it may develop into discrimination in marriage attitudes.
This is an extreme situation that occurs when social division of labor and personal skills reach a certain imbalance.
The social relationships between husband and wife in later generations showed extreme manifestations of this aspect, with polarization.
Women are either housewives or wandering the streets, and some even lose their sense of shame and honor and engage in obscene activities.
The same is true in South Korea, where there is a widespread prejudice against women in society.
This social phenomenon is most obvious in the minority Koreans. People who know more about it may know that their domestic violence rate is quite high.
The highest in the world!
Sometimes they even say stupid things like what else women can do besides giving birth to children.
If one day, marriage and family relationships in the mainland become so extreme, or times change, foreign women enter the marriage market.
I wonder if those girls will regret believing the fairy theories promoted by those marriage and love bloggers.
They love to hear nice words too much and glorify selfishness and utilitarianism. While being consumed by capital, they are also bearing the negative consequences of this social reality.
What will happen if we become overly selfish and utilitarian?
That is, female workers in factories will take to the streets because they feel that their social status and enjoyment are not good enough, and their living conditions are not good enough.
Does this mean you have a higher social status?
You will definitely be hated and despised.
The most notable point is that the emergence of a large number of older single women is in contrast to the serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the marriage market.
If you wait for a good price to sell your shares, you will always find yourself in a dilemma of always looking at the mountain above you. When you look back, you have already reached the valley.
At the age of 28, when you should be getting married, having children and having a successful career, you are worried about choosing a good partner for marriage and you are worried about not being able to marry well.
When they reach the age of 32, they are completely panicked. Their previous high standards are reduced layer by layer, but fewer and fewer people want them. They begin to worry about not being able to get married.
They began to wonder what was wrong with this society and what was wrong with men. Didn’t they want to get married anymore?
No, that's not it. The society is still the same society, and men are still the same men. They still want to get married and have a family.
But what remains unchanged is that they still like you when you were twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
If you are 38 years old, oh, congratulations, you have been favored by fate and capital again, and the blind date market for the elderly has become popular.
Those who are unmarried at this age and have a picky attitude must be very good-looking.
Entering this market is like killing gods and Buddhas, which has dazzled a group of rich uncles.
Don’t be fooled by the old man’s age and ugly appearance, he is really rich. He dares to marry you, but you have to accept the fact that his son is the same age as you.
You don't have to worry about who will take care of the children you have after marriage, or the issue of not wanting to have children if your mother-in-law doesn't want you to take care of them, because she doesn't need you to have children, she already has grandchildren, and you can't have children anymore.
There is no need to worry about the bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or the lack of harmony, because you may not have a mother-in-law anymore. The uncles are all uncles, the aunts are all gone, and the mother is probably gone too.
No need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no need to worry about the harm of giving birth to a child, no need to worry about not having money to spend. It seems that all the requirements for marriage set when I was 25 have been met.
Is this a good thing for women?
This is certainly wrong, but reflecting on the fundamental core issue, is it because the social labor force is lacking in a special way that women have to go to work to earn money to support their families?
This leads to a serious imbalance in the division of labor in the family. Once children are born or conflicts arise between parents, this imbalance will be exacerbated.
The relationship between husband and wife will develop into a state of hostility, and they may even file for divorce on the grounds of no love.
In fact, it’s not that they have lost love, but that reality has caught on to their inner misunderstandings about marriage and hit them hard, leaving them dizzy.
As for family, why did the ancients conclude that if a family is well-off, everything will be prosperous, instead of saying that if a man is well-off, everything will be prosperous, or if a woman is well-off, everything will be prosperous?
In later generations, some women took advantage of the imbalance in the marriage market, became overconfident, and made high-level marriage demands on men, which was a manifestation of lack of confidence.
When a man has money, he gives up the fantasy of love and waves money around to select one girlfriend after another like he is choosing a concubine. This is also a manifestation of lack of confidence.
The emergence of these two extreme situations has accelerated the crisis of confidence in marriage among men and women of marriageable age.
The girl actively asks for money and property to fill the increasingly tense crisis of trust in the marriage, without considering what she can bring or what she can contribute to the union.
Some couples may even ask their mother-in-law to pay for all the expenses of having a child and help take care of the child before getting married, otherwise they will not have the child.
This phenomenon may only occur in China. Try going to the United States. If you dare to say this, the elderly will probably give you a big hug.
Long live understanding, because they just don't want to take care of children, they are more selfish and have their own lives to enjoy. These fairy theories are what they have left over from their fun, and now they have given up and let it go.
But it is not the case in China. The ancients were better able to find a state between social relations and the harmony between heaven, earth and man to regulate and constrain family relationships.
Harmony and beauty have become symbols of good family relationships and are praised by people.
No matter how bad a person's character is, no matter how heartless a mother is, she would not think that it is a good thing for her daughter and son-in-law to get divorced, right?
What if her son also finds a daughter-in-law as annoying as her daughter, and her mother is also like her?
That would be fun, only magic can defeat magic!
Harmony becomes the cause of prosperity, and prosperity becomes the result of harmony. There will be many things in the process, but since the cause and effect are determined, nothing is difficult.
Liu Yin's active contribution created harmony for this family. Zhao Yafang, Gu Ning, Ji Yuxiu, and sister-in-law Li Xue would not step out of this circle to consider issues in all matters.
Including the men in the Li family, just as Li Shun learned from his father, Li Xuewen and his two brothers also learned from their father how to do things and how to be a person.
The result is that all the uncles have the same character. They are tolerant, understanding and caring towards their wives. They do not seek luxury in terms of economy and life, but stability.
Even an unstable factor like Li Xuewu was far beyond the budget of Li Shun and his wife, and they were able to start a family and build a career smoothly as soon as they became adults.
Li Shun once muttered before lying on the kang to sleep that it would be a great success if his second son Li Xuewu could not bring home a child before he turned 16.
Furthermore, having a child before the age of 35 is considered a great success.
His ideals and demands for his second son were particularly simple and tolerant, even to the point of finding a powerful and cunning daughter-in-law.
They never expected that everything their son did would be beyond their expectations, and his life growth was completely different from what they had expected.
When you see him being naughty, you hope he should behave himself, but he refuses to do so and climbs over the wall to get into the roof.
You saw him succeed in his studies and hoped he would get into a good university, but he refused and almost brought home a grandson.
You saw him suddenly returning home in the wind and snow, and hoped that he would live a stable life, but he refused to do so and went through so much trouble to become a cadre.
You watched him bounce around and become a section chief, thinking he was finally settled, but he didn't! He put out the fire of his leader.
You saw him find a girl from the supply and marketing cooperative who was eloquent, good at managing the household, and thought that they would have a good life after they got married! But he killed her.
It's no exaggeration to say that this son is a rebellious son. He is completely a son who is rebellious to both his wife and him.
Time flies by. Who would have thought that this son also has a son. He can no longer be called a young man, but a serious man.
Liu Yin listened to her son's instructions. When he came to pick her and Li Shu up in the evening, she couldn't help but shed tears as she watched her son's tall figure disappear through the Chuihua Gate.
She didn't know why she was crying. It couldn't be that she was sad to see her son get better. She could only be happy, happy.
-
"Yes, I am Li Xuewu."
Li Xuewu held the phone and asked, "Has Political Commissar Zhao returned?"
"Yes, yes, please ask him to answer the phone."
After a while, Zhao Zhenhua's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Comrade Xuewu, I think it must be good news, right?"
"No reward for guessing it right, haha——"
Li Xuewu made a joke and then said seriously: "The fertilizer issue has been settled. 70 tons, one container, will arrive at the Tianjin Port in a month."
"Oh! That's what I told you!"
Zhao Zhenhua laughed loudly on the phone and said, "If there is anything, I have to find you, Captain Li. You handled this matter very neatly. OK, you are better than us!"
"Stop feeding me the drug!"
Li Xuewu laughed twice and asked, "Is Qi Tuan here too? I think he laughed the loudest."
"Hahahaha! Comrades, please learn martial arts!"
Qi Yaowu answered the phone and laughed, "I have to say I admire you. You got 70 tons out of tons. I'll buy you a drink!"
"Remember the wine, I will definitely drink it, let's talk about serious matters first"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "After the fertilizer arrives at the Tianjin Port Terminal, it will go directly to the Beijing Freight Station through the joint trade supply chain channel."
"What? Is there a problem?"
Qi Yaowu understood that Li Xuewu's emphasis must have some hidden meaning.
"Do you want me to arrange for transportation or protection?"
"Both. I talk, you listen."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "One month later will be the critical period for farming, and the demand for chemical fertilizers will reach its peak."
"70 tons of fertilizer will not attract attention at the Port of Tianjin, but you have to be prepared all the way to the Beijing Freight Station, as it might be confiscated."
"How dare he! Who dares to take my things!"
Qi Yaowu suddenly became anxious and shouted on the phone: "Don't worry about this. I will arrange people to escort the shipment starting from Tianjin Port, and not a single grain will be lost."
"Don't be anxious, I'm talking to you about this problem, just listen to me"
Li Xuewu explained: "If you need 50 tons, the 70 tons you need is not just the transportation standard for a container, but there are also 20 tons for you to handle the relationship."
"With the output of the reclamation area on the mountain, we bought fertilizers and agricultural machinery, and added this year's seeds and other investments for construction. Basically, last year's work was in vain."
"So, with 20 tons of this stuff, you have to figure out how to handle it. It's both good and bad."
Li Xuewu said on the phone: "The profit from seaming is not enough to cover all the expenses, but at least it can cover part of them."
"I see, you are one of us, I won't thank you, it's too hypocritical"
Qi Yaowu said seriously on the phone: "I owe you a drink, and I'll owe you a drink on behalf of the political commissar, it's on both of us."
"Hahaha--!"
Li Xuewu laughed out loud after hearing his words, then nodded when he saw Peng Xiaoli coming in with the documents, and continued, "Okay, I'll remember about the wine, and we'll talk about it later when the agricultural machinery issue is settled."
"Okay, that's it."
He chatted a little with Qi Yaowu, said a few words to Zhao Zhenhua, and then hung up the phone.
"Leader, a meeting is about to start"
Seeing that Li Xuewu had hung up the phone, Peng Xiaoli reminded him: "The leaders from the credit union are here, and Deputy Director Jing is receiving them."
"All right"
Li Xuewu nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Who's here?"
"The team is led by Director Bao, and includes Deputy Director Zhou Yao who is in charge of loan business, and Deputy Director Ling Yun who is in charge of savings business."
Peng Xiaoli introduced the other party's situation one by one, and helped Li Xuewu prepare a notebook and materials.
Li Xuewu put on his coat, took him out the door and walked downstairs.
On the way, I met Sun Jian coming out of the office, so I asked him to talk to me.
"I don't have time right now, can you help me contact them and see if there's anyone in our sales or production department who has connections at the agricultural machinery factory?"
"What's wrong, leader?"
Sun Jian asked in surprise: "Do we want to produce agricultural machinery or farm the land?"
"Well, it's not us, it's the Wei San Group."
Li Xuewu explained: "There is a reclamation area on the mountain. They want to improve production efficiency, so they asked me to buy a batch of agricultural machinery and tools."
He told Sun Jian about the basic situation of the agricultural reclamation area and mentioned some specific requirements, meaning that he should contact them first and he could contact him for specific communication.
Li Xuewu has no shortage of ability to make contacts and handle relationships, nor does he lack connections in this area. What he lacks is time to deal with these trivial matters.
It can let Sun Jian take care of this matter and deal with the early problems, and then he can show up in the end, even if it's just to treat the other party to a meal.
The most important thing is to resolve this issue as soon as possible and deliver the agricultural machinery to the Wei San Regiment.
Sun Jian accompanied him to the stairs. After learning about the leader's request, he promised to contact him immediately.
At the same time, he also reported a situation to Li Xuewu. There were internship quotas for college students this year. Director Ding of the Commission's Office asked about it and the Security Department needed a few this year.
"Is this negotiable?"
Li Xuewu smiled and raised his eyebrows, saying: "Any thirty or twenty people will be fine, our requirements are not high."
"Ha ha--!"
Sun Jian laughed and said, "I thought so too, but Director Ding said we can get them all, haha!"
There are more than one hundred college students in total, and Li Xuewu really wants to rent out the entire campus. Then, the steel rolling mill security department will be the most educated security organization in the entire city.
Of course what he said was not true, he was just making a joke of himself with Sun Jian.
"That's fine. Director Ding, please make the arrangements as appropriate. It would be best to recruit a group of college students from industrial safety colleges or colleges with relevant majors."
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "We should treat everyone equally regardless of gender, and continue with the original training mechanism, okay?"
After saying a few words to Sun Jian, he went downstairs. Sun Jian could see that he didn't care about the nature of the matter, so he didn't mention it any more.
He knew the specific reasons, as deputy team leader Yu Decai had told him about them once.
Last year, when Yu Decai was in charge of the office work, the Security Department accepted three college students for internship.
They are all good talents and they do their jobs very well, but there were problems in their training. Only Zhou Yao, the current head of the Security Section, has become a capable person.
Yu Decai also told him with regret that he was primarily responsible for the problems that occurred with the other two college students.
Li Xuewu entrusted the person to him for training, but he failed to care for and take good care of him, and thus lost the most valuable talent in vain.
Looking at Zhou Yao, who has become the backbone of the Security Department today, you can see how heavy the losses were.
Even if the other party could not reach Zhou Yao's current position, being a deputy section chief, section chief, or important clerk, wouldn't that also be a loss?
Sun Jian learned that since then, Li Xuewu has paid special attention to college students who come to the factory to work or intern.
Regarding life, work, safety, etc., we have issued documents many times in the name of the security group and the management committee office, demanding improvements and protection for these pillars of society.
However, he never directed or deployed these talents to the Security Department. He was even more concerned about Zhou Yao's growth and had many organizational talks with her, for fear of losing another one.
You don’t have to show your grief on your face; it only really hurts when it’s in your heart.
It is obvious that Li Xuewu is heartbroken and regretful, so Yu Decai felt so guilty and repeatedly reminded him this year to make good arrangements for college students' internships.
These students have just graduated from school and do not have the maturity to face the challenges and difficulties in society and work.
At this time, we need the care and help of the organization. In actual work and life, in thoughts and studies, all need careful care.
Caring is not pampering, nor is it indulgence, just like Li Xuewu's care for Zhou Yao, arranging her directly to the training ground for three months of training and education.
Look at the results after I came back. I had no difficulty working in the Security Department and was able to adapt to the job requirements quickly.
After a few months of internship and more than half a year of work, he had become the head of the Security Department and the most promising young cadre in the security team.
When she first came, she had two ponytails, her skin was fair and clear, and her face was full of youth and beauty.
It is completely different from his current short, capable hair, slightly dark skin, and a face full of dignity and capability.
Can you say Li Xuewu didn't take care of her?
Just when the first batch of college students entered the factory for pre-internship education, Gu Weijie, who presided over the meeting and gave a speech, mentioned her example.
It talks about how the steel rolling mill cultivates and uses talents, and how Zhou Yao received training and exercise from the organization, growing step by step from a college student who just started working to the head of the most powerful department of the security group.
These college students who had just gathered from campus and came to the factory naturally did not understand what Zhou Yao had experienced during her growth.
They only felt the organization's care and concern from the leaders' stories, listened to Zhou Yao's relatively brief resume during her growth, and fantasized that they would become cadres like her in a year.
In fact, it is not really a fantasy. If one is as hardworking and motivated as Zhou Yao is, and shines in every position, he will naturally be promoted and appointed by the organization.
Of course, if you want to be like Zhou Yao, hard work and achievements are not enough, you also need a little bit of luck.
-
"Oh, Deputy Director Li, you're so hard to get an appointment with—!"
As soon as they met, Bao Peigang took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Li Xuewu who came in, without any airs of a senior director at all.
He is the director of Dongcheng Credit Union and is on equal footing with Li Huaide.
Jing Yunong is the one who receives and accompanies guests here, but when he meets Li Xuewu, the deputy director of the Management Committee Office, he is even more enthusiastic than when he met Jing Yunong.
Of course there was some personal connection involved, but more importantly he did not dare to underestimate Li Xuewu's power.
When Director Bao stood up and shook hands and greeted them, the two deputy directors who came with him didn't understand what was going on and also stood up.
Those who know him know that Li Xuewu is a deputy director at the deputy division level, while those who don’t know him would think that he is the deputy director of the steel mill management committee.
At this time, the names of organizational cadres were also very confusing and complicated, and they remained the same even in later generations.
If you are called director or deputy director, you must know his rank. But if you are called director or deputy director, you may not understand his rank.
The higher ones, those above the ministerial level, are called directors; the lower ones, such as the village director, the top leader of the village, are also called directors.
The gap was too big, so when Bao Peigang called him Deputy Director Li, Zhou Yao and Ling Yun both took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xuewu.
It was only when Bao Peigang introduced him to them that the two of them realized that the extremely young Li Xuewu was "only" a deputy director.
The word "just" here needs to be put in double quotation marks, because even if he is not the deputy director of the steel rolling mill management committee, even if he is the deputy director of the management committee office, it is enough for them to respect him.
Bao Peigang was so polite. How could they not understand that Li Xuewu's power was not just as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Of course, they also figured it out from the way Li Xuewu received them.
This young cadre was not arrogant or conceited. He shook hands with them and greeted them politely in a calm and natural manner, showing great leadership qualities.
In particular, the welcome speeches were better than those just said by Deputy Director Jing.
The basic qualities of a cadre do not necessarily have to be reflected in the way he speaks and treats others.
However, it is certain that cadres with excellent interpersonal etiquette and basic quality abilities will go further.
At least from the moment they met Li Xuewu, the first impression made them feel particularly good.
He did not talk to them without knowing their identities, nor did he deliberately create topics to attract their attention.
The gentle breeze and drizzle moisten everything silently.
Along with them came a deputy director of the office, whose communication level was totally not up to par with that of Deputy Director Li.
Whenever the chief director goes out on business, especially to a public cooperative unit, he will always bring the deputy director of the office with him.
It usually won’t be the director. The director is the chief steward of the unit. If he leaves, many things will be impossible to do.
Therefore, deputy directors have more contact with public cooperation units, and their overall quality is tested better.
Memory is the foundation. You have to remember the other person's name, identity, and even background relationships.
The second thing is the art of speaking. You have to make both parties feel comfortable and at the critical moment, you have to pass the message to the leader so that the leader can continue speaking and get to the right point.
Where is the key node for delivering messages?
Often the leader will look at you and say something like, “Isn’t that right, Comrade XX or Deputy Director XX?”
This means that the leader lacks key data support when commenting on this matter, or he needs you to remind him where the core point is.
Leaders have to deal with so many things in a day, how can they remember all the problems?
But the deputy director must remember them all.
Especially in public, leaders should be careful when speaking and should not just say whatever they want.
The deputy director who accompanied him was the guarantee that his speech was correct and not distorted, and also the teleprompter who could take over the conversation at any time when he needed data.
This kind of position tests one's psychological quality and comprehensive abilities the most, and most people really can't do it.
What if I don’t take the deputy director out with me and the leader needs to give a speech?
The leader basically doesn't dare to speak nonsense. Just listen to him, the same old words will wear you out.
If you meet someone who is unfamiliar with the business, and he talks for three hours, you can summarize it in five words.
Li Xuewu, the deputy director of the commission's office, made several visiting representatives from the Dongcheng Credit Union see the ceiling of the deputy director position.
Not only can he support Deputy Director Jing in speaking, but he can also indirectly cooperate in expressing his own opinions.
While taking care of the other party's emotions and opinions, you can also communicate with your own leaders in a targeted and clever way using concise and concealed words, and then give explanations and answers to the other party's questions on the spot.
Bao Peigang brought two deputy directors in charge of specific business here today to complete the cooperation negotiations.
Of course, it is not just about investment business. That part has basically been discussed and the funds have been received in a planned manner.
This time he came to complete the follow-up cooperation between Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and Dongcheng Credit Union.
Including other investment, savings, loans, foreign currency and inter-unit reconciliation and other business contents.
The steel mill’s current cooperative bank is ICBC, and all matters including savings, business-to-business transactions, etc. are managed by the other party.
But since the middle of last year, when Li Xuewu communicated with Li Huaide about preparing to set up the steel rolling mill's own financial management structure, Li Huaide already had this plan.
As the steel rolling mill developed and progressed, this plan was gradually put on the agenda.
Especially when Dongcheng Credit Union appeared on the steel rolling mill's cooperation list by chance.
In fact, there is no need to consider too much about the strength comparison between banks. At this time, all banks do not have any financial pressure problems.
There are only differences in funding sources and operational capabilities. But for a steel mill, is there any difference between the 100 yuan borrowed from ICBC and the 100 yuan borrowed from a credit union?
No, you still have to pay the interest and handle the partnerships in the same way.
Li Xuewu's purpose of gradually promoting cooperation between credit unions and steel mills is to take advantage of the period of changes in the current management structure of credit unions and use certain rules to obtain qualifications for financial management and operations.
To put it simply, banks can attract deposits, and so can credit unions, which can engage in investment and lending business just like banks.
Could the steel mill take this opportunity to cooperate with the credit union to open a savings bank in the future workers' village?
With this structure, it is responsible for the payment of workers' wages, the financial settlement of joint enterprises and trade, and the operation and use of commercial loans.
After mastering the financial power, the steel mill will have unlimited driving force for its development and can even continuously create the financial energy needed for development.
Deputy Director Ling Yun, who is in charge of savings business, gave an introduction and answered questions on this topic.
He brought the credit union's regulations and systems on cooperating with other units to establish savings offices, and provided some solutions to the requirements and needs raised by the steel mill.
Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong watched and listened, and after the other party finished their introduction, they raised their opinions on related questions.
Bao Peigang was very active and proactive in promoting the implementation of this cooperation. The credit union's expansion out of rural areas and development towards factories was also part of the business adjustment.
The diversity of funding sources is essential to ensure that credit unions have greater ability and basic qualities to resist risks during their development.
This coincides with the demands of the steel mills.
So the initial contact and negotiations between the two sides went smoothly, and the atmosphere in the reception room was always filled with laughter.
The steel mill treats the credit union as the God of Wealth, and the credit union treats the steel mill as God, so now God and the God of Wealth are sitting together and laughing.
