"Hahaha! I came here well prepared today, but you, Deputy Director Xue, still caught me off guard!"
Gulitong got out of the car and saw Xue Zhifu and Li Xuewu standing at the door of the guesthouse waiting for him. He quickly took two steps forward and shook their hands.
"Welcome Deputy Director Gu to visit the Red Star Factory. Please don't think we are not hosting you well enough."
Xue Zhifu smiled and shook his hand, saying, "The office building is a bit shabby, so let's talk here today. After we're done, let's try our special dishes and sit down for a while."
"Hahaha! That's for sure!"
Gu Litong smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu again, saying, "If you come to the Red Star Factory to discuss cooperation without eating, you will lose a lot!"
"Welcome, Deputy Director Gu. Please come in and talk. Everything is ready and we are waiting for you."
Li Xuewu smiled and gestured for invitation. At the same time, he shook hands with other cadres of Beijing Second Automobile Works and greeted them with a smile.
Don’t think that a group of people standing at the door and greeting each other is just empty talk. In fact, everything they need to say has been said, and it’s all useful.
Gu Litong's "coming prepared" was obviously a joke, but in fact he was referring to the Red Star Factory. They had been preparing for this negotiation for a long time and took it very seriously.
The results of it?
Li Huaide is not here, and neither are other leaders. Only Xue Zhifu, who is in charge of logistics and infrastructure, is here with Li Xuewu. What does this mean?
His words "caught off guard" were meant to remind him that the Red Star Factory did not take him seriously, making him lose face.
Xue Zhifu understood, of course, but there was nothing he could do. As things had come to this point, he could only politely say, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality," and then leave.
The second half of his sentence was already making up for the apology of Red Star Factory, pointing out that the discussion was not held in the main office building and that he wanted to treat the other party to a meal as an apology.
But you don't have to think that Gu Litong cares about who he talks to, or whether he is valued or not. This is just a strategy.
Why is he here today?
He didn't come here to show off his wealth and power, but to negotiate. He was representing Beijing Second Automobile Works to discuss cooperation with Red Star Factory and to compete for interests.
Therefore, the care and magnanimity he showed were actually all for the sake of the negotiations that were about to begin.
Li Xuewu certainly knew this, so he had no intention of chatting with him outside. If he had the ability, he could use it at the negotiation table instead of fighting here.
The goals of both parties are very clear. They need each other, are involved with each other, and cooperate with each other, but they must also distinguish each other in this cooperation and need.
When working together, the units would argue over a dime of profit, and even argue over tables and glare at each other. It is definitely not as friendly as you imagine.
It is certainly different from what is shown in TV dramas. In the protagonist’s highlight moments, he debates with a group of scholars, leaving the other party speechless, and the other party bows their heads in obedience, and even wishes to sell out their own unit.
Do you think this is possible?
If there is no equal power, can the two sides sit down at the negotiating table to discuss cooperation?
If they really want to surrender so easily, why not just send a lackey to publicize the fortune and power of the big company? Why bother with a negotiating representative?
There is a program in later generations called "Win in China's Blue Sky and Clear Water", which is a reality show where a group of business elites fight each other. If you look at what the real business war is like, it is definitely a show where tall, handsome and rich tycoons become losers.
It is normal for well-known business tycoons to argue with each other, point fingers at each other, slam the table and curse when they sit together to discuss work.
Therefore, when this kind of intense confrontation broke out before the negotiations, Li Xuewu was not afraid at all. He easily cooperated with Xue Zhifu to resolve it. He did this with his real ability and hard power.
Even if Li Xuewu dared to challenge the other party to go to the negotiation table, the other party might not dare to turn against him.
What the hell is this? Even if Li Huaide came to preside over the negotiation meeting, what could he say?
It's just the opening and closing remarks, just tying a dog here and giving him a bone...
Well, it’s a bit too difficult for the dog. A dog definitely cannot give an opening or closing speech.
Therefore, the leader still needs to sit here and talk about unity and friendship.
But the truth is there. Ultimately, the person in charge of the negotiations at Red Star Factory is still Li Xuewu, someone he cannot avoid.
If Li Xuewu was not there, he would try to fool Li Huaide, but Li Huaide was not a fool, so how could he negotiate without Li Xuewu?
Whether it is internal negotiations, trade negotiations, or external negotiations, Li Xuewu can be seen and he is the main negotiator.
This was not something Li Xuewu applied for on his own initiative. He was involved in specific economic and production management business, had knowledge and experience in this area, and was able to give advice before the negotiations.
Li Huaide and others wanted to see the negotiation procedures and materials prepared by Li Xuewu. They felt that they were appropriate and could not give any other suggestions, so Li Xuewu took the lead.
People who are young, quick to react, strong, eloquent, well-educated, and even know several foreign languages are useful everywhere.
In other words, they didn't come in time for a good time. When the Eight-Nation Alliance came, they could just sit there with a small stool and curse at others.
Xue Zhifu is not being modest when he says that the reception and meeting environment in the main office building are simple; it is indeed simple.
You see, the Security Building and the Committee Building are newly built. According to the original plan, after these buildings were completed, the people in the main office building would be moved to these buildings, and then the building would be rebuilt.
After all, this is the factory management building that Lou Yu invested and built back then, and it has been so many years.
It’s not that the quality is bad, nor that the equipment and facilities are bad, but that they can’t keep up with the needs of the work.
There are more people, more departments, and more functional needs, and we can’t accommodate them all.
But plans cannot keep pace with changes. The steel mills will be relocated in the next three years and no money will be invested here.
We have to wait until the construction of the group building is completed and all personnel are relocated, then we will renovate the place and add funds for construction according to actual needs.
Therefore, the conference room, the leadership office, and even the offices of various departments all look very shabby.
In the past, the guesthouse did not have the necessary facilities and everyone had lived through hard times, so it was okay to use the conference room in the main office building for receptions.
In the past, there weren't so many companies and foreign businessmen visiting our factory or negotiating, so it didn't matter whether it was embarrassing or not.
More than a year ago, Li Xuewu arranged for the guesthouse to prepare conference rooms on the first and second floors of the annex building in order to expand the reception space.
The furniture and office supplies used here still retain their former luxury and solemnity.
It is suitable for short meetings and receptions without being overly extravagant.
When he walked into the venue, looking at the solid wood negotiation tables and chairs, the uniform style of white porcelain tea cups, and even the thermos bottles were exquisitely white, Gu Litong was truly filled with emotion.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
Since the Red Star Factory started the tertiary industry and joint industry, it has not only opened up foreign cooperation and trade, but also connected a large number of enterprises.
Not only did we exceed the production targets assigned by higher authorities, but we also had spare capacity and money to develop other industries and the economy. The results were truly impressive.
With money in their pockets, the etiquette of reception became increasingly standardized, and even the clothes worn by the cadres of the Red Star Factory tended to be of the same style.
White shirt, black trousers, black leather shoes, the negotiating lineup on the other side looks impressive.
Looking back at our own team, it seemed like the guerrillas had met the regular army.
Of course I'm not discouraged or ashamed, I just feel that I'm not as powerful as others and I feel psychologically pressured.
After all, this was the third negotiation meeting of this magnitude, and the amount of communication on specific details of the cooperation was too much to count.
Both parties have put in a lot of effort for this cooperation, but there is also an element of comparison in the mutual hospitality.
There is no such high-level hospitality offered when visiting their own factory. Some cadres are even curious about the green plants placed on the conference table in front of them.
This is so fucking depressing. The conference room is spacious enough, and the murals on the wall cover the entire wall from top to bottom and from left to right. It is magnificent and majestic.
The curtains were drawn, but the fluorescent lights were still on, making the room unusually bright, making it even more oppressive.
The person who set up this negotiation environment definitely did it on purpose, in order to use their power to put pressure on others.
But look at the negotiation representatives and business managers from the Red Star Factory sitting opposite. They don’t care about this kind of environment and are obviously used to it.
Many foreign negotiations have been conducted in this conference room. If you look closely at the green plants on the conference table, they don’t need to be watered.
The saliva that both sides spray at each other can keep the flowers growing for a year, so why bother watering them?
In fact, Gulitong had just come in and had not yet adapted to the situation, so he was tricked by Li Xuewu, but the effect was surprisingly good.
As the negotiations between the two sides began, Gu Litong could clearly feel that the people on his side were not confident enough to speak! How could they talk?
We want to stop talking, but what reason can we use to suspend the meeting? Can we say that we have never seen this kind of conference room and ask you to introduce it to us?
Li Xuewu didn't even ask Qin Huairu to prepare all the equipment. If she had prepared the topic and the loudspeaker, and arranged for the waiter to pour the tea herself...
After so much conquest and battle, there wasn't much left to talk about. This was considered the final negotiation and both sides were very anxious.
Especially since the last time Li Huaide went to Second Automobile Works to get a lay of the foundation, Li Xuewu only fussed about a few details and rejected Gu Litong's rude request.
After more than two hours of consultation and negotiation, the two sides finally finalized the cooperation plan before lunch.
As soon as the door of the conference room opened, in accordance with the final process of the meeting, both parties moved to the large conference room on the second floor to hold the signing ceremony and interview session.
The conference room on the second floor is larger, more majestic and grand. The area below the main podium is already filled with factory employees and representatives from various departments.
There were also several reporters from major newspapers sitting in the front, making the scene very grand and imposing.
Only now did Gulitong feel the face and place that the Red Star Factory had given them, and the smile on his face never faltered for a moment.
Amid the flashing of lights, Xue Zhifu, as the contract manager of Red Star Factory, and Gu Litong, the contract manager of Beijing Second Automobile Works, signed a cooperation agreement. The agreement came into effect immediately after they stamped each other's stamps.
The agreement includes Beijing Second Automobile Works formally joining the automobile parts supply chain system organized by Hongxing Factory, both parties jointly investing in the construction of Hongxing Bus Factory, and carrying out more cooperative research and exchanges and cooperation in vehicle engineering development.
After the signing ceremony, Gu Litong and Xue Zhifu both sat in the interview seats and were interviewed by reporters from several major newspapers.
Both parties expressed their expectations and introduced the cooperation projects, and introduced the advanced nature of the supply chain system for the future of the automotive industry.
At the same time, Xue Zhifu, on behalf of the Red Star Factory, officially announced that three products have been approved for construction at the bus factory jointly invested and built by the two parties.
They are Hongyun, a 7-seat minibus, Hongtu, a 12-seat small bus, and Honghai, a 45-seat medium and large bus.
Hongyun and Hongtu are what Hongxing Factory has been developing and researching, including dismantling and studying large buses bought from Gangcheng and dismantling microbuses bought from Japan for dismantling experiments.
The initial prototype experiments have basically been completed, and system design and supplementation are underway. The project is progressing rapidly.
The medium and large buses of Hon Hai are developed by Beijing Second Automobile Works with the drawings and technical reserves supported by other factories.
However, due to the relatively backward technology, the core problems of the chassis and other power parts urgently needed to be solved, so after absorbing the chassis research technology of the Red Star Factory, they also decided to develop this project.
Hongxing Bus Factory will independently build production lines, provide independent parts supply channels, and enjoy independent technical support.
The investment situation and proportion of both parties have not been introduced in detail. The main propaganda direction is still to follow the above instructions, vigorously develop production, work hard to build, be self-reliant, self-sufficient, and start a business with hard work.
It is very important that the core values are clear. Li Xuewu, who hosted the interview, reminded them of this issue many times.
Of course, not all reporters at that time were obedient. During the interview, they mentioned the old rival of Red Star Factory, Beijing FAW.
They also knew that Red Star Factory must have made some preparations, so they did not ask Xue Zhifu, but instead asked Gu Litong how FAW should view the cooperation with Red Star Factory.
Gu Litong really wanted to say that it didn't matter whether he watched it while standing or sitting.
But since he is sitting here representing Beijing Second Automobile Works, he has to answer this question directly.
He also gave a roundabout explanation from the aspects of the situation, history, needs and the development demands of both sides, but his attitude was very clear, that is, win-win cooperation.
Especially in the creation and promotion of the automotive parts supply chain, Gu Litong agrees with the development model and ideas of the Red Star Factory.
That is to expand thinking and achieve win-win cooperation.
The main development direction of the future automobile industry is to entrust production to professional factories, strengthen the quality management of parts and components, and then manage automobile assembly and after-sales operations.
In fact, there is no need to ask this question. Beijing Second Automobile Works has already joined the supply chain system, so how could it not support the system?
The more parts manufacturers join in, the lower the price of parts will be, the faster the supply will be, and the better the quality will be.
The more vehicle manufacturers join in, the more it will drive the development of parts companies, and provide more drive and vitality to the supply chain.
The cooperation between Beijing Second Automobile and Red Star Factory has already produced enterprises such as Red Star Bus Factory. If more enterprises can cooperate.
The public-to-public cooperative shareholding system was not widely developed at that time, but in the case of foreign-invested enterprises, as long as both parties were willing, there was no problem in the cooperative operation.
For example, the famous Rubber Industry Company is a joint industrial development model.
The Red Star Factory is now engaged in so many joint industries and tertiary industries. If one day there are delays in the development or other problems in the group management, it can be completely split up and merged into shares.
That is to say, a joint-stock branch is established to carry out independent operation and financial management.
The United Three Industries is already prepared for this. With the Three Industries Management Office as the core, it is entirely possible to set up a joint venture branch as long as the financial settlement is clear.
Why do this? Why not engage in cooperative management instead of operating independently when there is money to be made?
Anyone who manages a business or has business in this area knows that this is called risk aversion.
In other words, it is easy to deal with a favorable situation now, as long as you keep fighting.
However, what should we do if adverse conditions arise and the business cannot continue to operate?
Then the combined tertiary industry and the combined industry got a not very appropriate name: pig killing scheme.
Taking the Red Star Factory as an example, as long as the main enterprise needs it, it can sell its shares in United Tertiary Industry and United Industry to the cooperative enterprise.
The other party had to accept it, because if the Red Star Factory died due to failure to recover in time, all their investments in the United Tertiary Industry and United Industry would be wasted.
By widely investing in these industrial and tertiary industry projects, Red Star Factory has obtained a large amount of cash resources. What problem can't it solve?
As long as the factory can overcome the difficulties and make a comeback, and as long as it still has the ability and resources to make a comeback, it can buy back these shares.
After all, they are internal shares, not tradable shares on the stock market. The important thing is risk avoidance.
Utilize the production efficiency generated by resource advantages and technological advantages, and then slowly recover these shares until they reach a certain balance point.
So we can see that the projects that Hongxing Factory cooperates with other companies are all flood storage areas.
Cooperation with credit unions is like a flood control dam. If an enterprise wants to develop, it must not only consider the tailwinds, but also the headwinds.
Once the dam breaks, it will inevitably cut off its own tail to save the life of the main body.
What is the business's largest cash expense?
In fact, it is the salary, which we have to face every month and puts a lot of pressure on daily operations.
So you can see that when the economy is in a downturn, major companies are laying off and reducing staff.
Someone asked, for such a large company, it would be difficult to reduce its assets by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, so why lay off its excellent employees?
Reducing assets is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Reducing staff is a necessary means to maintain daily operations.
You have never been a manager of a large company, and you have never worked as an HR in a group, but you must know a lot about farmers, right?
Do you think farmers have money? Will they encounter an economic crisis?
It’s not a question of whether it will happen, but whether there are people who have experienced an economic crisis.
There is no money in pocket to send children to school or to see a doctor. Isn’t it all due to the economic crisis?
I was busy working in the fields all year round and had absolutely no money in my pocket, but I was still alive and did not starve to death or freeze to death.
The same goes for enterprises. As long as they are like farmers, with their children no longer in school and their elderly no longer seeing a doctor, they will always be able to survive the lean season.
The autumn harvest can be counted together. The money from the harvest can be used to pay for this year's seeds and fertilizers, and then settle the debts owed for the past six months. Finally, you can use the money you save to do whatever you can.
Next year? It will be the same next year. It will repeat itself over and over again. Otherwise, why do people say that people are repeating themselves?
-
The effect of the news about the cooperation with Second Automobile Works after it was published in the newspaper was surprisingly good. Some companies related to the automobile industry have already written to us to inquire about the situation of the automobile parts supply chain.
Li Xuewu and Li Huaide suggested that supply chain enterprise meetings could be held regularly.
Jointly display and promote the sales of own resources, and express willingness to cooperate.
The meeting can be conducted in the form of a trade fair, where not only parts and products can be bought and sold, but also technology and production equipment can be exchanged.
This kind of offline trade can even be placed in a trade management center and become a regular activity.
Expanding trade and production space is to enhance the company's ability to resist risks, while expanding service and application industries is to enhance the company's comprehensive development potential and technology reserve capabilities.
So on Friday morning, introduced by Han Shu, Li Xuewu accompanied Xue Zhifu to visit and investigate several medical and nursing schools in the capital.
We focused on examining the current situation of graduates from medical colleges and universities, and also learned about the current development of medical science in order to prepare for the next phase of medical construction.
Several universities visited expressed surprise and suspicion about the Red Star Factory's plan to build a large comprehensive hospital. They couldn't believe why a factory would build such a large hospital.
What else can I do? Make money!
I won’t explain here how high the siphoning capacity of medical resources is. If you don’t understand, just go to a large hospital and see how many people are coming in and out.
Don’t say that medical care is all free at this time. If hospitals don’t make money, that’s too one-sided and too stereotypical. How can hospitals survive if they don’t make money?
On the contrary, when the market-oriented economic transformation took place, many hospitals encountered problems.
This topic is too heavy and too big, so I won’t talk about it. Let’s just talk about the hospital run by the Red Star Factory.
The basic needs are the factory workers and other residents in the ecological industrial zone.
The basic number of factory employees seeking medical treatment in Beijing is over 50,000. If their families are included, the loss will be three to five times greater, plus there is the siphon effect.
Li Xuewu asked the engineering department to build a big hospital, even if it would waste some resources if built now, they had to start building it first.
When there are more people and the need for construction arises in the future, the land will not be cheap anymore when construction starts.
The hospital building is taller, bigger and more numerous than the main office building.
With more patients, there is a greater need for doctors, and this cannot be done without the support of medical schools.
Therefore, the medical schools that Xue Zhifu and Li Xuewu visited were all willing to cooperate with the Red Star Factory and exchange medical personnel.
The main purpose is to assign graduates to internships, but the school cannot afford to keep them.
Why did Li Xuewu suggest Gu Weijie to cast a wide net and recruit college students across the country at this time?
Everyone knows that college students are a treasure, but in this period, not many people are actually recruiting in large numbers.
Moreover, at this time, many factories and units are still busy with learning. Who would care about the future development of the factory and the adjustment of the personnel infrastructure?
Han Shu's connections were still very strong, and at the symposium, Li Xuewu also talked about the situation of the Red Star Factory Hospital based on the concept of an ecological industrial zone.
Dongcheng District is the largest, the most powerful, has the strongest comprehensive capabilities, the most advanced medical equipment, and the best medical staff... In short, we are not afraid to spend money.
Whatever you say before is of no use, the last six words are worth a ton of gold, these are Lao Li’s original words.
Not only will a comprehensive hospital be built in the capital, but also the Red Star Second Hospital and sanatorium will be built in the Steel City.
When conditions are right, we will also merge with several medical schools to build the group's own medical system.
In the existing plans and programs, medical care and education have equal status, and these two things, together with housing, constitute the mainstay of the Red Star Factory's welfare system.
In other words, if these three things are built well, even if other welfare benefits are not as good as others, they will still be far better than those of other companies.
This kind of soft power is very supportive to the development of the enterprise. When recruiting college students, we told them that they would be guaranteed housing after three years, and their children would be provided with a one-stop service from kindergarten to entering the factory. The company has its own comprehensive hospital, which is the best.
Just tell me what kind of engineers and college students we can’t recruit, and we will develop better and better in the future.
Behind the creation of a medical system is the anchoring and labeling of the pharmaceutical system.
With an independent medical system, it becomes natural to develop the traditional Chinese medicine system.
The research on Chinese herbal medicine cultivation in the mountains has been going on for a year. In another year or two, when there are results, it will be time to harvest.
The development of traditional Chinese medicine in the mainland is very rapid at this time. Although there are technical limitations, the development of Western medicine has surpassed this momentum.
But it is undeniable that during this period, traditional Chinese medicine was the main means of treatment in rural areas. Although Baiyao tablets from Western medicine were effective, they had not yet taken over the market so quickly.
More importantly, the cultivation and development of Chinese herbal medicines are for external use, and Wufenghang is interested in cooperating with Hongxing Factory in pharmaceutical engineering.
However, Li Xuewu insisted on suggesting that Li Huaide wait a little longer until the Chinese herbal medicine cultivation technology in cooperation with Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital matured.
In other words, we must occupy a dominant position and conquer the port city's pharmaceutical market with absolute advantages.
You said that many people in the mainland use traditional Chinese medicine, but in fact there are also many people using traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong and even more in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, the main medicinal materials are all imported from the mainland, they are all raw herbs and processed outside.
Since he could make little money from the raw materials, Li Xuewu suggested that Li Huaide make finished Chinese medicines with packaging and directly sell the technology for money.
Li Shun doesn’t have many prescriptions in his hand now, just a few large boxes.
The rare medical book has long been properly preserved and is a family heirloom of the Li family.
Medical institutions and pharmaceutical institutions are developed in parallel. Even with the current medical system, Red Star Factory will not suffer any loss, let alone go bankrupt.
But it is time to start building the structure of the medical system. Since last year, the Red Star Factory Hospital has been poaching people from various units and hospitals.
As long as you are willing to come, the treatment and safety are guaranteed, and there will be absolutely no mess.
So now there are almost more doctors than patients in the Red Star Factory Hospital, and this situation will continue for another two to three years.
But things will definitely be different three years later. Even though there are an abundance of medical personnel now, we must be fully prepared to face the big test three years later.
The Red Star Factory’s group assessment must definitely improve its scores in terms of medical standards and demonstrate an overwhelming advantage.
Li Xuewu asked Ji Weidong to help the Red Star Factory prepare medical equipment and instruments, as well as related technologies in Gangcheng, in order to take off three years later.
Imported equipment and abundant medical resources give us an absolute advantage in the initial development.
No one knows what challenges the healthcare system will face in ten or twenty years.
But Li Xuewu knew that he had to start laying out the plan here, and he was the decisive factor in the layout.
The house is built big, but the key must be held in your own hands. No matter how good the system is, it will not work without the formula.
After completing the investigation, Red Star Factory signed cooperation agreements with several medical schools, including recruiting medical students to intern in the factory and providing them with appropriate treatment.
At the same time, Red Star Factory will provide a welfare benefits system to several medical schools and incorporate the medical schools into the joint trade, industry and tertiary industry system.

On Saturday, Li Xuewu turned towards the courtyard after get off work.
The weather was hot, and Liu Yin was particularly concerned about the old lady and sister-in-law Zhao Yafang, as well as the children, as they would get hot.
A trial production was carried out in Gangcheng, and the electronic and electrical appliance factory produced a batch of electric fans, which were handed over to the factory for trial use, and opinions were collected and feedback was given.
Li Xuewu's family had air conditioners but no fans, so he bought two and sent one here. He was thinking about his eldest nephew, and was also afraid that his mother would be worried about home.
You said that at that time we had televisions and radios, so shouldn't every household have an electric fan?
Well, I wouldn’t even dare to dream about it.
The money and tickets used to buy an electric fan can be used to buy a radio. Who would be so stupid!
Therefore, most families don’t have this thing, especially in the north. People have to rely on their bodies to withstand the hot weather, and as long as they can’t avoid the sun, there’s nothing to worry about.
But it’s different in the factory, with big fans, big ice cubes, or water sprays for cooling. Ordinary people don’t have those conditions.
Han Jiankun took the electric fan down from the car and became the focus of the courtyard.
"What is this? Uncle Wu, is it a fan? This thing is really pretty!"
Bang Geng followed Li Xuewu like a follower, gnashing his teeth and staring at the weapon in Han Jiankun's hand.
Han Jiankun followed Li Xuewu's signal and walked ahead, carrying the fan through the Chuihua Gate and went to Li's house.
Li Xuewu greeted the neighbors who were enjoying the cool air in the yard. There were not many people around at that time.
After all, those at home have to cook dinner and wait for their husbands and children to come back for dinner.
The men in Beijing lived a very free and easy life at this time, especially the old-fashioned men.
When I get home from work, wash my face and sit on a chair, if there is no food on the table, I will definitely slam the table and curse.
So we see more old ladies in the yard now. They don’t have to do housework, and their eyesight isn’t very good at dark, so they just don’t get in the way at home.
You can sit for half the night with a palm-leaf fan, and as long as there are people, you can continue to sit and chat.
"A big head and three iron fan blades. How can you tell it's good-looking?"
Li Xuewu's palm was a little small, and he couldn't even catch Banggeng's big head.
The child was laughing and jumping around and wanted to follow into the house, but was stopped by Li Xuewu.
Han Jiankun greeted the old lady before entering the house, and then went in after hearing her response.
Li Xuewu also let go of the stick and let him make noise.
"Go tell your mom later and ask her to buy you one so you can brag about it to your family every day."
"That's great!" Bang Geng saw Uncle Wu's driver put the fan on the cabinet and taught the old lady and Zhao Yafang how to use it, so he smiled and said, "How strong is this thing? It won't be blown away by me, right?"
"How can you say that——"
Zhao Yafang came out holding the child, greeted Li Xuewu with a smile, looked at Bang Geng and asked, "Is your mother still at get off work?"
"Yeah, he said he would be back later." Banggeng's eyes were still fixed on the fan. When he saw Han Jiankun turned it on, he rushed to get some fresh air with an intoxicated expression, which made everyone laugh.
"Don't let the wind blow directly on you, especially for children, or when you are sweating, as this may cause a wind attack or a stroke."
Li Xuewu reminded the old lady and Zhao Yafang that they would suffer if they bought this thing.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I've been here for so many years, why would you buy this thing?"
Zhao Yafang liked it very much, and said to Li Xuewu with a smile: "How much is it? I'll give it to you."
"No price. This is produced as an experiment in the factory. I don't even know how much it will sell for. I'll tell you later when I know the price."
Li Xuewu smiled and evaded his sister-in-law, and said to the old lady: "It's a new era now, life is getting better and better, people have to look forward."
"Yes, it's really hot today. I didn't feel it in previous years, but this year it just got hot and I can't stand it, especially the children."
Zhao Yafang smiled and said to the old lady: "Just give me a chance, and we mothers can enjoy it too."
"Hahaha--"
The old lady naturally did not object to what Zhao Yafang said. She was not in charge of the household and was not in charge of the accounts. You can buy whatever you want, but don't buy anything from me. I won't accept it.
This was exactly what An Li Xuewu was thinking. After hearing what his grandson said to his eldest grandson's wife, he knew that this thing must have been bought.
Looking at the way Li Xuewu does things now, it must be flawless. He never takes advantage of the public, so how could he take public property casually?
He said it had no price, but he sent it home because he was thinking of her and her family.
Children need to think clearly about this feeling.
Zhao Yafang asked for the price, and now she accepted Li Xuewu's favor, which means that the children all have a score to settle with each other, and they have to reconcile.
Li Xuewu sent a fan to his home, which became a new topic in the compound.
Those who were curious were too embarrassed to come into the house to take a look, so they just leaned over the window to look inside.
Tell me whether it is polite or not.
You said he was impolite, but he didn't enter the house and didn't disturb you.
You say he is polite, but he has a big black face with big buck teeth and is leaning on the window looking at you. Don’t you think he is creepy?
Zhao Yafang knew how to use it, so she reached out and turned off the fan. It was still daylight, so she asked Li Xuewu about her family.
The old lady was also concerned, so Li Xuewu told her about his mother, Gu Ning and the children, and asked them to go for a walk during the day.
Actually, it’s not that far away. It only takes about 20 minutes by bus.
If it's too much trouble, it would be more convenient to ask Li Xuewu to pick her up on his way to and from get off work, but Zhao Yafang was too lazy to move with the child.
People who don’t have children don’t know, but after having children, whenever you move, you will be dizzy looking at all the huge bags and boxes.
Zhao Yafang agreed with her mouth, but her body was really unwilling to move.
Li Xuewu could see that the old lady wanted to go, but was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Zhao Yafang at home.
So I told my sister-in-law that she would pick them up tomorrow morning, let them play for a day, and then send them back after dinner.
Perhaps she understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, or noticed the old lady's look of longing for her child, so she smiled and agreed.
My eldest brother will be back from studying literature tomorrow, so it will be a good time for our family to reunite.
Of course, Ji Yuxiu could go, but Li Xue couldn't. She was not at home and was traveling around the country with Jing Yunong.
"Hey, are you busy learning martial arts?"
"What are you doing? Don't tell me you want to see the fan too!"
Li Xuewu turned around and saw Sha Zhu greeting him. He smiled and got up and left the house.
It’s like this every time he comes home. He can’t sit in the room for ten minutes before someone comes to see him.
Especially after he stopped living here, Shen Guodong would ask him about business when he saw him, and Sha Zhu and others would chat with him when they saw him.
Or when neighbors ask him for help, there is always endless things to say and things to do.
"Why did I hear that they are cooperating with Beijing Second Automobile Works to produce buses?"
Sha Zhu followed him out and said with a smile: "Will our factory workers have commuter buses to go to and from get off work in the future?"
He raised his chin and said, "Shougang has them all. Workers can take buses directly to the factory and the streets to and from work. It's very convenient."
"Why do you care about this?"
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and said, "You are always late and leave early. Even if there is a commuter bus, you can still take it, right?"
After saying that, he nodded to Han Jiankun, motioning him to go and prepare the car, and then he went home.
Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, "I was thinking that with the commuter bus, these bicycles would no longer be needed, and the factory would have to get rid of a batch of them."
"Hiss—you are so mean!"
Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "It's a bit of a waste of your talent to keep you in the kitchen. I'll suggest to the factory that you be transferred to the Trade Management Center. You're a business genius!"
"Hehe - if you dare to adjust, I dare to go!"
Sha Zhu laughed and said, "I've wanted to buy a whole bicycle for a long time, but I never saved up the industrial tickets, and now the price has gone up again."
"Wait a little longer, our factory will be selling motorcycles soon." Li Xuewu teased him with a smile: "No need for a ticket, just the money for two bicycles will be enough."
"Hey! Why don't you eat here? I'm cooking fish for class tonight!" Seeing him walking out, Sha Zhu hurriedly greeted him, "I came here to invite you to drink."
"No, I'm afraid you'll drink too much." Li Xuewu pouted and said, "See you later, buddy!"
As he was walking out, Yu Shui and her boyfriend came into the yard, probably to send her home.
Dai Xiangyang still greeted Li Xuewu politely, but there was something wrong with his eyes.
Especially since Yu Shui went into the yard without even looking at Li Xuewu, how could he not be suspicious.
Looking back at Li Xuewu's figure leaving, he said something to Yu Shui and did not go into the yard. Instead, he greeted his brother-in-law at Chuihua Gate.
"Brother, this Director Li...does Yu Shui have any conflicts with him?"
"Hey, what's the problem? We live in the same courtyard." Sha Zhu is a gangster, but he is actually very open-minded. When Dai Xiangyang asked, he said, "It's nothing. We will know it sooner or later."
He sighed and said, "He worked here at the branch before learning martial arts. The person Yu Shui was with was the one who had an accident on a business trip to the Northeast."
"We haven't hidden this from you, you probably know it all." Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Of course, it has nothing to do with learning martial arts."
He explained this in order to make the girl's emotional background clear so that the other party would not think in the wrong way and would not suspect Li Xuewu or anything like that.
"Don't worry about it. Yu Shui and Xue Wu are related. I think they have this knot in their hearts."
"I understand." Dai Xiangyang finally figured it out, nodded and said with a smile: "I will be good to Yu Shui, don't worry."
