Chapter 1080 Goodbye by fate
"Haha, welcome back to Beijing, second brother from Gangcheng!"
When Li Xuewu got out of the car, he saw Erhaier and Guodong and others standing at the door.
He asked Shen Guodong jokingly, "Why didn't you hold a welcoming ceremony? Don't you take it seriously?"
"Didn't you say you had work to do?"
Shen Guodong smiled and said, "We thought we had to wait until after dinner to see you."
As soon as the electrical appliances arrived yesterday, Li Xuewu knew that the second child was back. Shen Guodong called him at noon today and made an appointment to meet in the evening.
I originally thought that Liu Xiangqian and others would stay at the International Hotel for dinner, so he naturally couldn't come back.
So he told Shen Guodong to ask them to come to his house for dinner and he would try to come back early.
Zhang Dayong was punished for the ecological industrial zone incident and was transferred to a new job.
He was able to take the initiative to resolve this matter in order to eliminate the impact as soon as possible. Seeing that Li Huaide was about to move up, he naturally did not want to have any more enemies.
As for the instructions from the man behind him, he was not at the end of his rope.
They are all pursuing a career in politics, and victory and defeat are common in the military, so they are mentally prepared and foresighted.
The capital city has always been a place of troubles. This time it is better to say that it was a blessing in disguise rather than a defeat.
If you jump out of this circle, rearrange your plan and start over, at least you can have a smooth landing.
So from Zhang Dayong's attitude in handling this matter, we can see that he is positive.
He no longer had to face the demands of the person above him, let alone confront Lao Li. He just hoped that this matter would not leave him with any trouble.
He wanted to run away, and Liu Xiangqian didn't want to take the blame, so their demands were the same, and their positive attitude towards dealing with the matter was also the same.
Otherwise, why did he just frown and say nothing when Li Huaide showed his rogue strategy of retreating to advance?
In the past, Liu Xiangqian would have scolded Lao Li for not having any political qualities. No matter how powerful the factory leader was, could he be more powerful than him?
But on the one hand, we have to take into account that Lao Li has connections behind him, and this matter has been heard by the emperor, so naturally we have to tolerate him. Lao Li is not the kind of person who would make trouble.
On the other hand, we have to consider Lao Li’s next appointment and the development trend of the Red Star Factory.
If he really managed to build a Factory 17 in Beijing, he would have to leave himself a way out.
We are all working, there is no need to make it a life-and-death situation. As long as it does not involve matters of principle, we should be tolerant if we can and let it go if we can.
The city needs this money to revitalize other factories and solve practical problems. It is impossible to bet on the steel mill for three years, nor can it be used entirely to purchase machinery and equipment for the steel mill.
As for what will happen to the steel mill and those workers three years from now, we will have to wait and see.
He can't even get through this hurdle, let alone three years later. Who might he be in three years' time? Who should he leave the money for?
Whatever you can afford, be it 30% or 40%, it's better than having no money at all.
Besides, the comprehensive financial settlement cannot be delayed any longer. At most, it will be by the end of the year. The remaining money can be deposited into the city's account. It can't be that the Red Star Factory withheld all of it, right? Is Li Huaide such a bad person?
Not staying for dinner doesn't mean that Liu Xiangqian is angry. The problem has already been resolved, so why is he still angry? At his position, his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all superficial and do not represent his true feelings at all.
I don't want to pretend to be nice to Lao Li because we can't see eye to eye with each other and we can't do anything about each other. We are both thousand-year-old foxes, so there's no need to act out Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
As for whether Liu Xiangqian will make things difficult for the Red Star Factory or create obstacles in the economic development process after this incident, no one can guarantee it.
Do you believe Liu Xiangqian's words that he is upright and has no such mean intentions? Anyway, Lao Li doesn't believe it.
But Lao Li is not afraid of him. Since he dares to take this step, it means that the power behind Lao Li is supporting him. The attention from above is his guardian golden body, plus the soaring momentum of the Red Star Factory.
Judging from the overall situation and the development speed of Red Star Factory, the possibility of advancement this year is very small unless there is some major opportunity.
The motorcycle manufacturing plant is expected to start trial production in July, the automobile manufacturing plant is expected to start trial production in September, and the Yingcheng Shipyard will start production earlier, but not until the second half of the year.
Besides, the three factories in the food industry are estimated to start formal production by the end of the year, and the combined tertiary industry will not be able to reach a certain scale until the first half of next year.
The joint industry will be even later. Factory construction is happening in batches, and equipment and technology are still being coordinated and installed. If it is to form a chain reaction with the joint trade, it is estimated to be in the second half of next year.
Joint trade started early, but the development sought stability rather than perfection or speed, and it took steady steps, which resulted in slow trade expansion.
Unlike foreign trade which generates large orders one after another, the domestic trade market should focus on stability, especially in line with policy factors at all times.
The offices built last year are still in the development and exploration stage. Together with the 12 offices built in major cities across the country this year, it is estimated that it will take around 69 years for them to truly play their functional role.
Therefore, the pattern of great development of Red Star Factory has been set, but it is still in its initial stage.
At this time, it is impossible for the higher-ups to hastily upgrade the Red Star Factory. They have to see its potential and development trends before making a decision.
When various indicators are released in the first quarter of next year, the momentum of Red Star Factory's takeoff will surely be solid, and the evaluation of promotion given at that time will certainly be encouraging.
After being promoted in 68, Red Star Factory rolled up its sleeves and worked hard for a year. After a year of stability, in 69, all branches of the factory completed the construction of independent branches and formed a certain scale.
At the same time, various production and trade indicators are leading among industry enterprises, forming an integrated industrial cluster in the three regions and exerting a certain influence.
All functional departments and service departments have completed independent management and effective support, the ecological industrial zone has completed construction and formed an effective economic siphon effect.
Especially in the comprehensive strength assessment, if the scale and structure of the main factory are not sufficient to complete the management of branch factories and branches, the application for industrial groupization will be approved and supervised by the Ministry of First Machine Building.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the ecological zone established by Li Huaide following Li Xuewu's advice is intended to show the family's assets and extend its fists in three years, thus achieving the structure that a group should have.
Several leaders in the factory have carefully studied and discussed each step, and have researched the risks that need to be avoided and the development demands to a certain extent.
By the beginning of the 70s at the latest, Li Huaide had to become the general manager of the Red Star Steel Group, otherwise he would never be transferred or change his position.
The "Three-Year Plan" refers to the development plan of the Red Star Factory, and the "Five-Year Plan" is the development plan of the Red Star Steel Group.
From 1966 to 1970, it was exactly five years. During these three and five years, as long as the positive growth of production and trade economy and the development trend did not fluctuate, no one dared to mess with Li Huaide. The Red Star Factory was his confidence.

"Hey, now you're awesome!"
Li Xuewu tapped Li Shu's hand, who was sitting on the sofa playing with toys, and said, "Dad came back without even saying hello?"
"I'm playing—"
Li Shu fiddled with the rubber doll in her hand without even raising her head, and replied impatiently.
Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the second child sitting opposite him and said, "You came all the way here to bring these things to her. Isn't it too heavy for her to carry?"
"I brought it back in a rolling box. There are also some at my third uncle's house, and also at Manager Ji's house."
After the second child's experience in Hong Kong, he looks completely different. Both the way he speaks and the way he moves have become more capable.
Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is the kindness in her eyes the moment she saw Li Xuewu.
The brothers are all in different places and busy with their careers, so they cherish every time they meet.
When coming out of the International Hotel, Han Jiankun loaded several lunch boxes into the car. They were the delicious dishes that he had asked Zhang Songying to help prepare.
The taste of some dishes made by chefs in professional kitchens cannot be simulated in your home kitchen.
It’s not that I’m afraid that my brother won’t be used to the food at home after staying in Hong Kong for more than half a year, but I think that today is the day when brothers meet again after a long separation, so I should celebrate.
Qin Jingru also knew Erhai, but they had little contact. She was quite surprised to see Shen Guodong bringing the other person over.
Although she had not inquired about it in detail, she knew that the business of those people in the recycling station was not a legitimate waste collection business.
I've never heard of any scrap recycling station opening branches across the country!
I have never heard of dry waste recycling being able to accumulate large cars, small cars and more than a dozen tricycles.
When the number of people at the West Courtyard Recycling Station was the highest, female comrades even had to stay at Sha Zhu's house.
Now it is suddenly empty, except for Shen Guodong and Xiaoyan, who are young, the rest are old and young.
So, where did everyone go?
It’s not that no one has asked about the Siheyuan, but the street office doesn’t care. They just talk about it out of curiosity.
Whenever someone asked about their whereabouts, the West Courtyard's unanimous answer was: in Steel City.
Lao Biaozi is in Gangcheng. Wen Saner was also in Gangcheng before. The neighbors didn’t care about the difference between calling it Gangcheng and Gangcheng.
Qin Jingru has been in the Li family for a long time and has had more contact with these people. She can always guess something by listening to a few words.
Especially when I saw the various toys that Yang Erhai brought for Li Shu, and the gifts he brought for Li Xuewu's family, I knew that he was definitely not in Gangcheng.
How could a small place like Gangcheng have goods more exquisite than those in the capital?
However, Qin Jingru would never ask where he was, where he came from, or what he was going to do. Even if they were sitting in the living room and talking about it without avoiding her, she would not listen or ask.
After Gu Ning came back, he said hello to Shen Guodong and the others and went upstairs. It was Liu Yin's turn to come down to help Qin Jingru prepare dinner.
Li Xuewu, Shen Guodong and their second child were sitting on the sofa in the living room talking. Han Jiankun was helping Qin Jingru water the vegetable garden before dark.
There were guests in the courtyard today. Li Shu received gifts and praises. She was very well-behaved and sensible.
In Liu Yin's words: like a little adult!
"Did the journey back go smoothly?"
Li Xuewu crossed his legs and looked after his daughter who was sitting next to him. He raised his hand to point to the fruit plate on the coffee table and said, "You are in your own home now, take whatever you want to eat."
"Dad! This is a doll!"
Li Shu would occasionally interject when she saw them talking, knowing that she couldn't be left out when the fun was going on.
The second child looked at her and smiled. He had never been here before and seemed a little reserved, especially when facing Gu Ning just now.
At this time, Li Xuewu replied: "Both entering and leaving the customs were smooth, after all, it was a ship from the mainland."
"But there were some problems when we were crossing the strait." He narrowed his left eye and said, "It happened more than once or twice. Seeing that we had strong weapons, they didn't come to provoke us. But they were afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Li Xuewu listened to his daughter's instructions and touched the baby in her arms, but asked in a fierce tone: "Are you worried that Ji Weidong can't handle it?"
He looked at Shen Guodong and warned, "Tell the Dongfeng Shipping Company that if anyone dares to provoke us, don't hesitate to beat them up. Use cannons instead of guns!"
"If Ji Weidong can't bear this kind of pressure, then he shouldn't earn this protection fee."
"There's nothing to say about this. Manager Ji is very responsible."
Yang Erhaier introduced: "After knowing this situation would occur, we installed anti-aircraft machine guns on the ship, so there is no problem dealing with general situations."
"Fuck! You don't have to react so strongly!"
Li Xuewu still thought that he was a radical and that Ji Weidong was a conservative because he was afraid of taking responsibility.
As a result, now they are using anti-aircraft machine guns, and the conservatives think that the radicals are too conservative?
"The main concern is that something might happen. It's okay to follow the Polish merchant ship, but if we are left alone, we will be easily besieged, and there will be no support at sea..."
Yang Erhai shook his head slightly and said: "A thousand-ton cargo ship basically has no self-defense power. We can only use ruthless force and bet on the other party to run into our trap."
"Ji Weidong might be thinking of setting a net to catch big fish!" Shen Guodong raised his eyebrows and said, "There are more than twenty boats. If one of them gets into trouble, they will all get to know each other and calm down."
He took the sliced melon from the fruit plate and handed it to the second child. He also took a piece for himself and said, "It's better to strike with one blow than to strike with a hundred!"
Li Xuewu looked down at his daughter and didn't say anything more about this matter. Since Ji Weidong had made arrangements, he didn't need to add to the situation.
Anti-aircraft machine guns are powerful enough. When they hit the hull, at most they will just damage the machinery inside.
If it hits a person, no matter how delicate and fragile you are, or how strong and strong you are, you will go to see God without saying a word.
What to add? Machine guns?
Stop joking. That is a merchant ship, not a conventional ship. According to international practice, it is allowed to carry some armed protection forces. But if it gets really big, not to mention the port will not allow you to dock, you won't even be allowed to pass by.
Ji Weidong dared to make such arrangements because the merchant ships of Dongfeng Shipping Company sailed along the coastal route, from the Tianjin Port Terminal to the port city, all within its sphere of influence.
27 thousand-ton cargo ships, even if it's unlucky, we can still get three or four ships together to act together.
Having three or four anti-aircraft machine guns at sea is enough. If even this level of armed force cannot protect the cargo fleet, it means that the other party is not coming for the cargo, and no amount of force will be of any use.
"Manager Ji is very successful in the port city and his port business is also doing very well."
After eating the melon in his hand and wiping his hands with the wet towel thrown by Li Xuewu, Yang Erhaier introduced: "Unlike the traditional docks, Prince Ports Company operates in compliance with regulations and guarantees safety. Many large companies are willing to dock and unload here."
"The dock of Wufenghang? Or...?"
Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at him and said, "The last time Ji Weidong came back, he talked nonsense to me. I couldn't believe what he said about Xuantian and Erdi."
"Haha, he's quite funny—"
Yang Erhai said with a smile: "Whenever you meet someone in the port city, you have to become sworn brothers with them. He always claims to be related to the captain of the transport team. Ms. Song is his third aunt, a legitimate royal relative."
"Hey, let's go fishing!"
Shen Guodong raised his eyebrows and said sideways: "When I see him smile, I feel that everyone in the world is a good person except him!"
"It should be, we don't quite understand."
Yang Erhai introduced: "After my third uncle went there, he followed Miss Lou to run the real estate business, and I followed Zhang Wanhe to handle the wharf business."
"Ji Weidong doesn't come here often. When he comes, he just asks us to hang out together. He always talks about business at the dock and rarely talks about his work."
"Carefree?" Shen Guodong heard Blind Spot and asked with a smile, "The glamorous world of capitalism is exciting, right?"
The second child turned around and looked at him seriously and said: "You know me, I am an honest man."
"Well, an honest man never says he is an honest man!"
Shen Guodong said with a sly smile: "Tell me later what fun things there are in Hong Kong City."
"Why don't you just go and see for yourself?"
Li Xuewu held his daughter on his lap and coaxed her to play with toys, saying, "Go when your third uncle comes back, and come back when you've had enough fun."
"I'm not going - whoever wants to go can go!"
Shen Guodong shook his head like a rattle and said: "Not to mention that taking a boat is tiring and dangerous, I can't even bear to be so far away from home. I won't go."
"That's all you can achieve in your life!" Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "You should stay in the alley with a wife and children!"
"Hey hey hey-"
Shen Guodong smiled innocently and did not refute. No matter how glamorous the world is, can it be as comfortable as a warm bed?
Yang Erhai smiled and continued, "The first thing Prince Port Company did was to operate the Wufenghang wharf, and later acquired three more, which caused some trouble."
"But everything has been settled. The docks have been expanded to six locations, and the warehouses have been connected. Manager Ji plans to expand them again this year."
The financial crisis is a crisis for ordinary people and an opportunity for capital.
The market is reshuffled, the fixed asset investment environment is sluggish, and businesses such as docks, logistics, and warehousing are shrinking, so naturally there will be big sales.
When you meet a big spender like Ji Weidong, waving the money of Oriental Times Bank to buy, buy, buy, buy, who would not be confused when seeing him.
With a bank, you have a backer, and with a backer you can hook up with Wufenghang, open up the dock business, and get fleets in.
Once the goods are landed, trading companies can open for business. With money, banks and real estate can thrive.
"Parker contacted his third uncle, who took him to meet Miss Lou. The battle for equity in Watsons was intense, and it was hard to say who would win for the time being, but Miss Lou was confident."
Yang Erhai nodded and said: "There are also big banks backing them up, but they don't have the size and influence of Wufeng Bank in the trade field."
This is absolutely true. If you want to compare the trading volume with Wufenghang in Hong Kong, you are simply crazy.
Most of the daily necessities of Hong Kong people are transported and sold by Wu Fung Hang. How can you compare!
Sister Lou is good at calculating. If one family can’t eat enough, then two families can eat together. Watsons has brand influence in Hong Kong and has many stores.
The retail of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products is not easy to operate. Now the Oriental Group and Wufenghang are going to give it a big blow.
"Leader, the meal is ready—"
Just as the three were talking, Qin Jingru came out of the kitchen and greeted them.
After getting Li Xuewu's response, she went upstairs to greet Gu Ning and helped her hold the child.
"Let's eat first and then talk after dinner."
Li Xuewu stood up, patted the second child's arm and said: "Ji Weidong, have you dealt with your identity well? You have to be on your own when you come back this time."
"Yes, and they gave me a new name."
The second child smiled and said: "My name is Yang Zhao in the household registration book, and my address is in Tianjin."
"Well, it's to make things easier for you."
Li Xuewu invited them to the table, which was already filled with food. It was a large table and very rich.
Liu Yin greeted them warmly. Both of them called Liu Yin godmother. Now they called her dear and didn't feel as awkward as they did when they were children.
-
After dinner, Li Xuewu sat in the yard with the two men, smoking and chatting until after ten o'clock.
I explained the situation in Tianjin, as well as the situation of Teacher Wu and Zhou Xiaobai to my second child.
Shen Guodong will help him lay a solid foundation and at the same time transfer two boys over to run errands and help.
Shops in Tianjin don’t need to be too low-key or hidden. After all, it is a trading port city, and even in this era it is an economically developed place.
There are frequent visits from outsiders, and branches of trading units are scattered all over the docks. Who would care about the addition of a small station of a Beijing scrap company?
What's more, relying on the trade management center to do distribution work, we have the advantage of the seafood trade chain. If there is any problem, just talk to Vice President Zhang of Jinmen Aquatic Products and it will be solved. It is very convenient.
If the work here wasn't so important, he wouldn't be willing to transfer his second child back. He has gained so much experience and prospects after only staying in Hong Kong for half a year. If he had stayed for three years, he would have to take the postgraduate entrance examination and come back!
Of course, Teacher Wu is mainly responsible for coordination and financial work, the second child is responsible for the specific execution and management, and Zhou Xiaobai has no control over it at all.
Her biggest role is to take money and not do anything. It would be best if she had nothing to do in Tianjin.
Zhou Xiaobai said that she was going to Tianjin to work, but she would have to return to Beijing every Saturday and Sunday to reunite with her family.
In fact, this is the attitude of Zhou Zhennan and his wife. You can exercise and study, but you can't stay home. You have to treat this as a serious job.
As for whether Zhou Xiaobai can learn anything from this job, they don’t care. What they care about is the word "seriousness".
Li Xuewu can guarantee this point. After all, he is a serious man. Who among you here doesn’t know this, right?
"Go and close the study window."
As soon as Li Xuewu went upstairs, he heard Gu Ning's greeting from the master bedroom: "It will rain tonight."
"Have you read the weather forecast in the newspaper?"
Li Xuewu had just sent his second child away. There were lights on in the yard, so he didn't really pay attention to the weather.
Gu Ning walked out of the master bedroom and said, "Jingru said that. Didn't you pay attention when you read the newspaper this morning?"
"Haha, I really don't care about this."
Li Xuewu checked the windows upstairs and then went downstairs for a walk.
Han Jiankun had packed up everything that needed to be packed outside. When he left at night, he had closed all the windows downstairs tightly, leaving only the windows upstairs.
You say that Qin Jingru knew it was going to rain today, so why did she ask Han Jiankun to water the vegetable garden?
It's very simple. The weather forecast today is not as accurate as it will be in the future. Even in the future, the weather forecast is not that accurate.
The vegetable garden is a delicate thing. If I don’t water it tonight and wait for it to rain, what if it doesn’t rain?
Then we have to wait another day!
She was extremely busy in the morning, and Han Jiankun also had to help take care of Li Shu, so he had no time to water the vegetable garden.
She had time in the morning, but it was too late. She couldn't water the vegetable garden after the sun came out because the hot water would easily burn the vegetables.
Anyone who waters flowers knows that you shouldn’t water them in the middle of the day, and the same goes for watering the ground.
Caidi thought so, but people living in the house had to be on guard, because the doors and windows at that time were still made of wood and were not as strong as those in later generations.
If it rains heavily and the wind blows the window open, the glass will definitely break. You won't be able to sleep well all night. In serious cases, the window sash may be blown off.
"I have prepared all the things for my sister-in-law and her family. I asked Jingru to mail them this morning."
When Gu Ning saw him coming back, he informed him, glanced at the child sleeping in the crib, and lay down on the bed.
Li Shu was tired from playing today and fell asleep early. Liu Yin carried her to her room.
"Did mom help with the shopping?"
Li Xuewu took his pajamas and threw them on the bed, found his underwear and went to the bathroom. He hadn't washed up when he came back.
Gu Ning lay on the bed, holding her hair and said, "Jingru went by herself. Mom doesn't have the time."
Li Shu needs one adult to look after her, and with Li Ning added, it's not enough for two people to handle the job. The epidemic of meningitis is serious outside right now, so I dare not walk around with a child in my arms.
When Li Xuewu came out of the shower, Gu Ning was about to fall asleep, but was touched by Li Xuewu.
"Are you not going to let me sleep?"
Gu Ning patted his bad hand and said, "I have to get up and feed the baby soon. If I want to sleep in the middle of the night, will I be able to go to work tomorrow?"
"It won't take long..."
Li Xuewu hugged Gu Ning and said, "Besides, if you want a son, you can't give up me--"
Gu Ning turned over, pushed him away and said, "Just go to sleep. You always said it wouldn't take long. I would be a fool if I believed you again."
"well--!"
Li Xuewu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling in the dark night and sighed: "When I didn't have a son, I wanted a son. When I had a son, I wanted a wife!"
"If you can't sleep, go to the study and read."
Gu Ning heard him sighing and rolled his eyes and said, "Focus on serious matters."
“Isn’t having children a serious matter?”
Li Xuewu complained: "Reading is to grow the spirit, but the body also needs a healthy life. We can't just throw the baby out with the bathwater."
"Why are you up late at night reading a book?"
He propped himself up and looked at Gu Ning and said, "I've never heard of anyone who could delay doing something like that just because of reading. What an interesting book that must be!"
-
On Saturday, Jing Yunong and Gu Weijie returned from Hebei and Henan provinces, bringing back a series of cooperation contents and initiatives.
In response to the attention and support of the industrial departments of four provinces to the steel rolling mill some time ago, Li Huaide took the initiative to put forward this suggestion.
That is, four deputy directors set out at the same time, leading teams to visit and investigate the industrial departments of the four provinces.
The purpose is to use this opportunity to nominally promote the concept of an eco-industrial zone for the steel mill, and to internally communicate the content of joint trade and joint industrial cooperation, on the other hand.
The four provinces are all rich in resources, and they would not actively recruit steel rolling mills if they did not have the hard power.
Steel and coal resources are abundant, even though transportation is inconvenient at this time and these resources cannot be transported to steel mills to form effective cooperation.
But at least the two sides have retained channels for further cooperation and communication, and can also carry out in-depth cooperation in other areas, such as industrial products trade.
Red Star Factory has received many orders from foreign companies. Does it rely on United Industry to realize production?
This is an impossible task. Li Xuewu designed and built the supply chain system to solve this problem and deepen foreign trade.
It is not simply about being a middleman and reselling these industrial products to foreign companies, but about producing them in a refined manner and through division of labor and cooperation.
For example, the tracks that the steel rolling mill was responsible for producing earlier are no longer included in the design plan of the new steel rolling mill.
But does that mean the steel rolling mill doesn’t have to complete the production tasks assigned by the organization?
Of course not. The steel rolling mill will complete the processes included in the steel rolling industry, and other parts and processes will be handed over to more professional factories to complete.
The processes related to the steel rolling industry in other factories are also interacted with the rolling mill to complete.
In this way, all the advanced advantages of heavy industry can be integrated into an industrial supply chain system.
Division of labor, cooperation, assembly line operation, and building a refined and professional production system are the core goals of Red Star Steel Group in the future.
Reducing production costs will bring real benefits to companies in each supply chain system.
Hebei Province is a major steel-producing province, and Henan Province is not far behind. The heavy industry systems of both provinces are very developed, especially the advantage of distance, which gives Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill more cooperation options.
Cheng Kaiyuan who went to Shaanxi Province and Xue Zhifu who went to E Province have not returned yet, but good news has come back that they are still on the train.
I have to say that the country is too big, and traveling is a hassle. If it is really like in South Korea, the weather forecast only has one content: it will rain across the country tonight, then transportation would be really convenient, right?
After returning from an office meeting in the main office building, Ding Zigui pestered me and we chatted for a while.
It was about coordinating industrial integration procedures with the city. Li Xuewu had a lot of work on hand, so Li Huaide gave this task to him.
The main content had been agreed upon yesterday. Now Ding Zigui just needed to go through the formalities with the city government. After all, he was in charge of the factory's official seal.
Ding Zigui went to him to ask about the details, fearing that it would cause trouble if he didn't understand them clearly.
When he heard that the steel mill would take on at least 50,000 workers and several hundred cadres, he was shocked and wondered whether the factory would survive.
It’s hard enough to feed more than 30,000 people now, let alone more than 50,000 people?
Li Xuewu explained to him that it was just procedural work now. Once the procedures were finalized, the tertiary industry would start building the corresponding workshops.
The workshop is built very quickly and the handling machinery is also very fast, so it does not delay much production time.
When merging with other factories, one naturally has to take over the production tasks of these factories.
As long as the production tasks are completed, the wages of these workers and cadres will naturally not be the responsibility of the Red Star Factory, but will be managed by the city's industry.
Even the salaries of the cadres and workers of the Red Star Factory are not simply calculated independently. The salary allocation is applied for from above according to the number of staff.
The enterprise itself will be responsible for the excess. If you have money, you can hire them. If you don’t have money, don’t hire them.
Of course, today's companies and factories are wealthy, so temporary workers exist.
Most of these people are supported by children of employees or people who need resettlement, and they also serve as interns and supplementary forces for the factory.
When the sixteen factories were merged, they had to deal with the layoff or regularization procedures of temporary workers, and it could not be left to the Red Star Factory to handle.
The Red Star Factory didn't care whether the employees arranged by the other party were temporary workers or not, because these people's organizational relations would not be merged into the steel rolling mill. Why bother so much, these people were just here to work short-term.
It may take three years at the longest or two and a half years at the shortest. As soon as the new steel rolling mill is completed, these workers will be transferred. The city will even gradually transfer some workers to other factories during these three years.
Fifty thousand people sounds like a lot and looks scary, but in fact, after being adjusted to the tertiary industry, the number of people who really need to be arranged by Red Star Factory into the steel rolling industry system may be more than ten thousand.
Just as Li Xuewu communicated with Liu Xiangqian and others, these people will work with the steel mill employees to complete the three-shift production work.
This year, the steel rolling mill will definitely exceed the production target assigned by the superiors again.
It is uncertain how much money will be earned, but what is certain is that these 50,000 people are able to afford it.
Moreover, these 50,000 people cannot be stuffed here all at once. We have to wait until the construction of the workshops in the tertiary industry is completed and the machinery, equipment and technology are integrated and regulated before we can start the resettlement and relocation work.
Each factory may have a machining department, or a maintenance department, or a labor protection products production department, and these cannot be duplicated.
The corresponding machinery and equipment, technical reserves, workers and cadres that can be found in the tertiary industry will be incorporated into the existing production order of the Red Star Factory.
If no corresponding production type can be found, the new production workshop will be used as the basis to integrate it into a new tertiary industry project workshop.
The tertiary industry of the Red Star Factory does not have a factory structure and is uniformly managed by the Tertiary Industry Management Office.
The workshop responsibility system is implemented below. What to produce is decided by the management office, while how to produce and how to produce more are decided by the workshop.
Such a flat management model directly enhances the power of workshop directors and breaks down the communication barriers between management and grassroots managers.
There is a disadvantage to doing this, which is that the structure is not safe and stable enough, but with the support of the Red Star Factory, there is no need to worry about this.
Li Xuewu told Ding Zigui that the city’s core goal was to get rid of these burdens and integrate them into the steel rolling mill without losing their industrial production capacity.
But it can reduce the pressure of industrial management and at the same time obtain funds to revitalize other assets.
Importantly, Red Star Factory agreed to help the city rebuild a steel rolling mill in three years.
Based on the current steel rolling mill production equipment, a number of cadres and employees will be selected from these 50,000 people to be trained as steel rolling workers.
Three years later, the workers in the tertiary industry will most likely be transferred to the light industry and tertiary industry system of the steel rolling mill.
The vast majority of workers trained for the steel rolling industry will be transferred to newly built steel rolling mills in the city.
The core demand of the Red Star Factory is that there is still room for the redeployment of these workers, so that workers who are transferred to other positions in the factory and workers who do not want to leave Beijing can be accommodated there.
In just three years, vocational and technical colleges will train a group of skilled workers who meet the needs of the new era.
The eliminated workers took this opportunity to transfer to the city's steel mills.
Just as the old-fashioned steel rolling equipment in use today is being eliminated, they are history's choice.
Of course, if the tertiary industry faces major policy adjustments, it will directly separate from the steel mill, just as the city worries.
In other words, in order to maintain its vitality for rapid growth, the Red Star Group in the future will decisively get rid of its burdens, just like the city is doing now.
The people who made this decision are not bad people, and the companies that made this choice are not evil companies. What is cruel is the characteristics that the times have given to industrial development.
Isn't industrial development itself about burning the lives of working workers and driving the development of the times?
After talking with Ding Zigui, Li Xuewu went upstairs and was reminded by Peng Xiaoli that an unexpected person had come and was waiting for him in his office.
"Hey! Director Yu, what a rare visitor!"
There was no trace of the conflict and fighting between the two people on Li Xuewu's face. He was hypocritical and kind, as if he was meeting old friends.
Yu Daru stood up and looked at Li Xuewu, with a hint of sincerity and regret in his eyes.
"I heard that you are very busy and the Red Star Factory is developing better and better."
"No, no, it's a great time. Come and sit down. I didn't even know you were here."
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand to motion him to sit down, and then he sat down opposite him and greeted him: "If I had known you were coming, I would have been waiting for you."
"Let's not be so polite."
Yu Daru tried to give him a slightly free and easy smile and said: "My work has been adjusted and I have to go out of town. I wanted to come and see you before I leave."
"Oh? Why so sudden? Aren't you doing well in the branch?" Li Xuewu frowned slightly and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"It's my own fault. I have limited ability and don't want to cause trouble to the organization." Yu Daru held the teacup and shook his head slightly, saying, "I took the initiative to go to the border. I think I'm doing my best."
This time Li Xuewu was really surprised. He looked at him for a long time before asking, "Go to the border? Go a step further?"
"No, it's still the same situation now."
Yu Daru said calmly: "It's a blessing to be able to do something down to earth, which can also make me feel at peace."
"I have a new respect for you now," Li Xuewu nodded and said, "It is easy to see the shortcomings of others, but it is the most difficult to see your own shortcomings."
"You always speak so philosophically!"
Yu Daru put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Li Xuewu, nodded, and said with a smile: "I came here to say sorry to you, to make up for the regret in my heart."
"There's no need to be so sentimental, right?" Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and asked, "When are you leaving? I'll make arrangements tonight and see you off."
"No, the train is at 1pm."
Yu Daru stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "I am satisfied to hear you say this. I hope we can be friends again."
Li Xuewu stood up, shook his hand and said, "I have never been very friendly to my friends."
"Hahahaha—see you again if we're lucky!"
"Goodbye, and have a safe journey!"
