Chapter 1132 A Single Man and a Single Woman Having Dinner Together
"What the hell is this?"
Liu Yin got out of the car holding the child and walked into the yard, while Gu Ning followed with Li Shu.
The "fire stick" in Li Xuewu's hand caught the attention of Qin Jingru who was helping.
"Knife, the devil's knife."
Li Xuewu looked at the weapon in his hand speechlessly. This was the one that Zhao Laosi had stuck in the car.
Zuo Jie said that Li Yuanchao wanted to "get to know" him in a roundabout way, so he gave him this thing.
You know what, Li Xuewu really doesn't know this kind of knife.
It’s not that he has never seen it before, or that he doesn’t know what kind of knife it is, but he knows a lot about this kind of knife.
This kind of thing always appeared in TV dramas in the past, such as committing seppuku or something like that.
Li Xuewu had played with many things in his previous life, but he had never played with the Japanese sword.
The main reason is that a lot of this stuff is seized, but few people really value it or show it off.
Anyway, Li Xuewu had never seen it before, so he didn't know how to tell whether it was good or bad.
Zuo Jie said that when Li Yuanchao delivered it to him, he mentioned that it was a good knife, but he didn't say where it came from.
It's hard to be sure. There's a high probability that these guys copied it from somewhere.
You know what, these little brats dare not do anything.
As for the cause and effect, Li Xuewu is not afraid, and he is even less afraid that the real culprit will come looking for him in the future.
I'll return it to whoever dares to claim it. He doesn't need it that much anyway.
He didn't even bother to hang it on the wall to show off. It would be fine if he had captured it himself.
There's no telling how many innocent souls have been killed on this knife. It wouldn't be a good thing to have it at home.
So he planned to find an opportunity to put it away, and when it was convenient and there was no controversy in the future, he could give it away.
"Scared—so long?"
When Qin Jingru saw Li Shu opening her arms to ask her for a hug, she bent down and hugged Li Shu.
His eyes were fixed on what Li Xuewu was holding, and he said, "I've seen it in movies, but this is the first time I've seen it in person."
"I'll show you enough when we get inside."
Li Xuewu walked into the yard carrying the child's luggage bag.
"Wow - did you clean up today?"
As soon as he entered the yard, he realized that the fence was neatly trimmed and the part that was broken last year had been repaired with new branches.
The small vegetables planted in early spring have grown well, and I have already eaten several crops of the Chinese cabbage near the window.
It looked one way yesterday and it looked another way today.
Obviously, Qin Jingru has not been idle in these two days. The soil in the yard has been leveled and the paths have been cleaned. This may be the credit of Han Jiankun.
"Just finished——"
Qin Jingru teased Li Shu and asked her if she missed her, while she took the time to respond to Li Xuewu's words.
"I thought you guys wouldn't come back until after dinner, I didn't prepare anything."
"What are you going to prepare? I'll do it tonight."
Liu Yin coaxed Li Ning back to sleep on the first floor, but the boy fell asleep in the car.
At this moment, she came out and said to Qin Jingru who had entered the room, "Take a break. It's the weekend and you are busier and more tired than usual."
"I didn't ask you to work hard, just take a rest at home, but you didn't want to hear——"
"There's not much work to do, why should I be tired?"
Qin Jingru felt relieved after hearing what Aunt Liu said, but she was just being polite.
Starting from the morning, I had to clean the house, change the bed sheets and quilt covers, and put Li Shu's toys away.
Fortunately, we now have washing machines, which saves her a lot of trouble.
In the morning, Han Jiankun was busy outside while she was busy inside the house.
When it was afternoon, she cleaned the kitchen while Han Jiankun went to the lake to cut some willow branches.
After she finished cleaning up, the two of them worked together to tighten the fence again. The three chickens they raised were very naughty.
Even if it flapped its wings, it couldn't fly, but it was greedy for the seedlings in the vegetable field and forced its way into the fence.
These three chickens are the heroes of the Li family. They used to provide eggs for Li Shu, and now they provide eggs for the mother and her two daughters. They are nutritious products.
Bang Geng knows to go to the river to catch fish and shrimp to feed the chickens, but the Li family doesn't have such idle people.
The cabbages picked from the vegetable garden are not enough for a chicken to eat for one meal, so they can only be fed with rice bran.
The orchard in the west garden is spacious, and you can get enough to eat the insects in the soil during the day.
At this time, there are insects on the fruit trees, but I can’t bear to use pesticides at home.
How to do?
Using brute force, he shook the fruit tree to make the bugs fall off, and the chicks picked them up and ate them.
Of course, this stuff can’t be eaten all, and anything can happen, so the orchard in the west yard of Li Xuewu’s house doesn’t produce much fruit.
Only when Qin Jingru is free at home will she use the broom to sweep the ground, and the chicks can have a full meal.
"Sister Xiao Ning, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Qin Jingru put Li Shu on the ground, and the little devil set his eyes on the toy basket again.
I just cleaned up everything this morning and now I have to sort it out again.
"Little ancestor! Can you please give me some peace of mind!"
"I can eat anything, what do you want to eat, mom?"
Gu Ning glanced at the child in the room before picking up her bag and going upstairs.
Qin Jingru asked. She stood by the stairs and said to Li Xuewu, "Mom liked the roast duck we bought last time. Let's go buy another one."
"Don't buy it, it's too expensive——"
Liu Yin waved her hand and said, "It's not a festival, I'm not a guest."
"If you want to eat, just buy it. Why wait until the New Year or other festivals?"
Li Xuewu walked to the door, took out some money from his handbag, handed it to Han Jiankun and said, "Buy two. The last time we had some, we didn't have enough. Ask for more."
"I've never heard of anyone eating roast duck as a meal—"
Seeing that Han Jiankun had already taken the money and left, Liu Yin couldn't catch up with him even if she wanted to.
At this moment, he was satisfied with his daughter-in-law's filial piety, and also complained about his son's extravagance.
If her daughter-in-law wants to eat it, she won't object at all.
I have to go out and buy it just because she likes it. It really hurts me.
"Don't do this again in the future. What can't mom eat?"
Liu Yin couldn't bear to say more to her son, so she just nagged him a few words and then went to take care of Li Shu.
Li Xuewu's filial piety to his mother is not only reflected in roast duck.
He lives a relatively frugal life and rarely engages in revenge spending.
There was no question of him being extravagant; he rarely even had the chance to spend money.
In the past, I had to give living expenses to Zhou Yamei in Gangcheng, and pocket money to Yu Li and Qin Huairu.
No one asks him for money now, and his money is rarely touched in his wallet.
He didn't give his mother any money because his mother didn't want his money either.
Coming here to take care of the children is the love of a grandmother and the care of a mother.
Li Xuewu only secretly told Qin Jingru to improve the standard of food, mentioned a few of his mother's favorite foods, and prepared one or two more dishes every day.
When I go to the mall or go on a business trip, I bring a piece of cloth or a pair of shoes for my mother.
Filial piety is in every detail of life and every corner of daily life.
If he really wanted to show filial piety, it would be too deliberate, and he is not that kind of person.
Look at Li Shu, she takes after her father.
I want this, I want that, this one doesn’t taste good, please help me eat it…
She does whatever she wants and says whatever she wants. She is never polite to her father and is like a real bandit.

"Deputy Director Li is busy..."
On Monday afternoon, Peng Xiaoli stood at the door and knocked, and Xie Lanzhi walked in with a smile.
"Hey, come on, big sister, haha——"
Li Xuewu looked up when he heard a knock on the door, and stood up when he saw Sister Xie coming in.
He quickly unwrapped the pen and smiled, inviting her to sit on the sofa.
"Xiao Li, make that black tea."
Knowing Sister Xie's preferences, Li Xuewu specifically reminded Peng Xiaoli and then sat down on the sofa.
"No need to be so troublesome. I can drink anything." Sister Xie looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smile, "Why are you so polite?"
"Well, you're welcome—"
Li Xuewu joked: "You are the God of Wealth now, everyone who sees you must be polite."
"If you describe me like that, I'll start sweating."
Xie Lanzhi replied to Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "We are just a small sect and temple, how can we dare to call ourselves Bodhisattvas? We are just servants."
"Serving the people is what makes us public servants—"
Li Xuewu folded his right leg and greeted with a smile: "How is it? It's been almost a month since you took up the new post. How do you feel?"
"Is this a joke?"
Sister Xie took the tea from Peng Xiaoli with a smile, nodded to him, and then said to Li Xuewu: "Why don't you go to my place and try it?"
"No, I don't have the ability."
Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "I know my own weight very well."
"As for security work, that's my specialty. Even service and coordination work is killing me, so why would I work in finance?"
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then shook his head and said, "I can't do it. This is beyond my ability."
"It's not really a financial job, it's more of a management job."
Xie Lanzhi said: "In the first few days after taking over, everything was difficult and I felt like a headless fly."
"Fortunately, the people from the credit union are familiar with the work. If it were us, we would have to do it ourselves—"
She shook her head and said, "I am still learning on the job. I majored in finance, but I haven't touched it for many years and I have almost forgotten it."
"At least you have some basic knowledge. I have no experience in this area at all."
Li Xuewu held the teacup in his hand and got to the point, "Last week Xiaoli told me that the factory will hold a meeting this Wednesday to discuss the operation of insurance funds."
"I came here to talk to you about this."
Xie Lanzhi nodded, took out a document from her bag and handed it to Li Xuewu, saying, "I rushed this out over the weekend."
"We invited several experts from Huaqing University and the University of Finance and Economics, as well as several comrades from credit unions and savings banks."
She introduced: "Regarding the proposal you put forward at the meeting on the operation of insurance funds, the experts gave certain suggestions and opinions."
“How feasible is it?”
Li Xuewu did not look at the document. It was a thick stack and it took him a long time to finish reading it.
Both he and Sister Xie are very busy, so they can only look at documents like this in detail when they have time.
Now we just need to discuss the conclusion and process clearly, and then form specific opinions when we look back and look at it carefully.
Not only will he attend the meeting on Wednesday, but Sister Xie will also go.
Ms. Xie was not present at the last insurance-related office meeting because no one mentioned connecting insurance funds with savings banks at that time.
But Li Xuewu brought it up, and the leaders were also thinking about it, and now two weeks have passed.
The factory leaders need to research and think about this opinion, and at the same time give Li Xuewu and the United Savings Bank time.
So that they can be prepared and express all their ideas during the meeting this week to satisfy the leaders.
Leaders may not understand the specific procedures of these businesses, and they don’t need to understand them.
They only need to control the security, operation and responsibility of the funds.
Xie Lanzhi certainly wanted to realize this idea. Li Xuewu's idea would be beneficial to the Red Star Factory's insurance funds and to the United Savings Bank.
The influx of more than 10 million yuan of funds instantly increased the savings bank's savings, and also provided a more stable communication channel and significance between it and Hong Kong City Oriental Times Bank.
What’s important is that the current domestic business investment market is not perfect.
The investment direction of the United Savings Bank is relatively fixed, which is nothing more than the Red Star Factory, United Industry and the tertiary industry.
Basically, any project that these factories and enterprises can come up with can get funding from above.
Only when it cannot obtain funds, or because of the background of tightening investment from above, will the United Savings Bank be faced with the situation of not being able to choose projects at will.
These affiliated companies cannot obtain the investment and construction plans from above, which means that they cannot get production plans in a short period of time and can only transform the projects they have into tertiary industry projects.
Whether tertiary industry projects can make money is still a question, mainly because of responsibility.
If the budget is raised from above for construction, even if there is a loss, there is a production plan to cover it.
But the tertiary industry is in trouble. They have projects and have applied for funds from the United Savings Bank. The products they produce need to be put on the market.
These factories themselves have no management and sales capabilities and can only rely on the Red Star Factory's Trade Management Center for hosting and operation.
This uncertainty made them lose confidence in their projects, and they did not dare to do it even if the United Savings Bank invested in them.
What a loss, how can I make up for it?
So, the United Savings Bank has money but cannot spend it.
The longer an employee's salary remains in the bank, the higher the interest payable.
For banks, every day that money is kept in a savings account for one more day is a loss.
Xie Lanzhi's biggest headache now is to find good projects, invest money, and ensure the normal operation of banking business through loans.
If we can get through to the Oriental Times Bank and realize the goal of goods exchange and foreign trade interconnection, it will undoubtedly open up a huge source for the United Savings Bank.
By then, if the domestic investment market is not good, it can be operated as guarantee funds for commodity export trade to achieve roundabout exchange.
On the one hand, Hongxing Factory has revitalized business-to-business trade in China through the Joint Trade Management Center located in Tianjin.
It provides economic liquidity to the joint units and also provides a good foundation for the joint savings bank in trade fund settlement.
On the other hand, the Trade Management Center helps joint enterprises to sell excellent products through foreign trade.
For example, the Santaya Group purchases valves, bearings, connectors and other hardware products in large quantities through the Red Star Factory's supply chain.
The products of Hongxing Factory have been represented by the other party for operation in Southeast Asia, and now the goal of common progress and win-win cooperation has been achieved.
As long as other factories join the Red Star Factory's trade supply chain, they don't need to know who they are producing for or selling to.
They only need to deliver high-quality products to the dispatching center on time according to the production plan issued by the supply chain, that is, the trade management center.
The Trade Management Center will transfer the payment to the account as soon as the goods are accepted.
Now, key joint units have an office space in Tianjin, that is, in the building of the Trade Management Center, for on-site communication.
They can grab production orders from the supply chain as soon as possible, and can also coordinate and handle problems as soon as they arise.
Therefore, more and more factories have sent working groups to Tianjin and settled in the Trade Management Center.
In order for these factories to recover their funds, they need the help of the United Savings Bank.
It is expected that this year, the United Savings Bank will be fully connected with the Trade Management Center.
By then, the trading method of the supply chain system will be simpler.
There is no need to go to the bank to exchange money any more. You can directly connect with the Red Star United Savings Bank in the building of the Trade Management Center, and the payment for goods will be made on the spot. The joint units can check the accounts directly.
Li Xuewu has laid a solid foundation in the three channels of production, trade and finance.
Now all that’s left is to connect the dots using the Union Savings Bank.
"I am very confident."
Xie Lanzhi looked at Li Xuewu confidently and said, "Using banks to achieve fund management and trade services is an inevitable means of modern business."
"The days of carrying sacks of money with accountants and cashiers, and security guards are over."
"Hahaha--"
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's a little exaggerated, but it's true."
"exaggerate?"
Sister Xie looked at Li Xuewu with amusement and said, "The supply and marketing cooperative came to settle the payment and arrange the purchase plan for this autumn. Do you know how they paid?"
The Red Star Factory is now starting to make changes from within. In addition to the bills which are still being issued by the Finance Department, all personal wages are deposited into personal accounts.
As for trade settlement transactions, after opening accounts for the First Light Industry Bureau and the First Light Industry Ministry, the roots of the triangular debts were completely cut off.
In other words, to arrange the production plan of Red Star Factory, we had to start from last month to set the price first, and after the production was completed, we would pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time.
This is a situation that is rarely encountered in the Ministry of Light Industry, and even the Ministry of Industry sent people to conduct research.
That is to say, it is necessary to prove the feasibility of this planned production and operation.
If funds are guaranteed and serviced through banks, it will be convenient for the Ministry of Industry and a breakthrough in management.
Now, the products of the united tertiary industry and the united industry are distributed through the supply chain or trade management center, or the factory sales office.
All the payment for the goods had to be deposited into the Red Star Factory’s account at the Red Star United Savings Bank.
Xie Lanzhi raised her eyebrows and told Li Xuewu: "Their deputy director led the team, four security guards with guns, two accountants, and two cashiers, and they came to us carrying two sacks of money."
"I would say this is pure show-off."
Li Xuewu rolled his eyes in amusement and said, "Write a check, put it in the account, and let us go get the money, isn't that enough?"
"You may not know—"
He smiled and introduced it to Sister Xie: "There are also comparisons within the supply and marketing cooperative."
“Although they don’t have sales targets, they do have indicators and they have to settle accounts at the end of the year.”
Li Xuewu tilted his head and said, "The director of the Dongcheng Jiaodaokou Central Supply and Marketing Cooperative, which cooperates with our factory, is going to be promoted to the second-in-command of the district supply and marketing cooperative."
"No wonder--"
Xie Lanzhi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What is this? Showing off your grades?"
"I earned it honestly, why can't I show it to the public?"
Li Xuewu smiled and took a sip of tea, saying, "You're not the only one who said that the money was transferred from the supply and marketing cooperative to the bank. I'm afraid the news has spread a long time ago."
“Who benefits the most from the feedback of reputation?”
"I said—"
Xie Lanzhi pursed her lips and said, "This is a good thing. Our cooperation will be more extensive in the future."
Li Xuewu nodded but did not make any positive comments.
It was still the weekend when Shen Guodong told him that Director Ma came from the delivery room to announce the good news - he had been promoted.
This promotion was like a rocket to the position of deputy director of the district supply and marketing cooperative.
After all, he is the deputy director, and he has risen to the position rapidly based on his work performance. He needs to stabilize his work and business.
As for the future, the other party will definitely continue to take advantage of the Red Star Factory cake.
It would be really great if we could really connect the Red Star Factory's trade management center with the district supply and marketing system.
In the future, it may really be possible to see cars and motorcycles being sold in supply and marketing cooperatives.
The worst case scenario is that Red Star Factory’s canned food, nail clippers and kitchen supplies need to be sold in more stores.
The two talked about this and that, always focusing on the financial operations of the United Savings Bank, and finally talked about the issue of exchanging funds in Hong Kong.
Li Xuewu expressed his thoughts and opinions, and explained to Xie Lanzhi in detail the background and prospects of this opinion.
Xie Lanzhi also communicated Li Xuewu's ideas based on the opinions given by the expert group.
The more thoroughly prepared the two are, the greater their chances of winning over the factory leaders and gaining their support.
After discussing work, Sister Xie somewhat embarrassedly talked about the last issue regarding the marriage registration review of factory employees.
It was Xiao Jin who found Li Xuewu, and Sister Xie took advantage of the situation and asked her lover to help.
As a result, Ren Xiaoyu encountered some stumbles and things became very unpleasant.
It was rare for her to lose her temper with Ren Xiaoyu at home.
This matter was not her business, nor was it her family's business. It was the last thing she did before her transfer.
If this matter fell on deaf ears, not only would she have to bear the gossip of the factory workers behind her back, but she would also feel guilty watching those lovers reluctantly break up.
In the end, although the result was good, she felt that Ren Xiaoyu was too incompetent, and she had not had time to thank Li Xuewu.
"Why are you thanking me—"
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "We are all working for the factory and for the factory employees."
"Xiao Jin is getting married and sent me an invitation. I don't have time to go, so I asked Xiao Li to go on my behalf."
He gestured to Peng Xiaoli who had come in and asked, "Xiao Jin from the guesthouse is getting married. Should I give the gift as a gift?"
"I wrote this for you. 50 cents."
Peng Xiaoli introduced with a smile: "Comrade Jin Ling has found a good partner."
"It's still a registration issue. Big brother suggests we should not touch this matter."
The "big brother" that Li Xuewu mentioned is Sister Xie's lover Ren Xiaoyu.
"After all, it involves the civil affairs department, so we can be prepared for any trouble in the future. It's better to coordinate it."
"You're more stable than me in this matter."
Xie Lanzhi stood up and nodded, saying, "The last stone in my heart has been lifted."
"Not really, hehe——"
Li Xuewu walked her to the door, and the two chatted for a few more words before returning to the office.
"Boss, Ms. Chantal from the Santaya Group wants to invite you to dinner tonight."
Peng Xiaoli reported: "Thank you for your help and support in this cooperation."
"At night? No, no, no—"
Li Xuewu shook his head and pouted, "It's late at night, a man and a woman, having dinner together, there are disadvantages even if there is no privacy, I won't go."
"Tell him I'm a serious person"
"Leader - is that true... Oh!"
Peng Xiaoli just made a joke, and when he saw his boss glaring at him, he quickly said with a smile: "You have an appointment tonight, and it was already scheduled."
-
Rumble——!
Don't be afraid, it's not thunder, nor is it fireworks, nor is it a train passing by.
But on Tuesday, June 17th, we planted a big mushroom in Lop Nur.
The big white mushrooms are particularly beautiful and safe.
Of course, as long as you are a Chinese, you will feel more secure at this moment.
With the big mushroom, we can finally stand up straight and develop.
Although Li Xuewu could not hear the roar of the explosion or see the surging air waves, he could feel the surge and excitement in his heart.
At this moment, perhaps all Chinese people can clearly feel that their backbone has become stronger and they will no longer be afraid of threats from others.
Specially, the factory radio broadcast a special news program in real time that day.
It started at eight o'clock and ended at eight-twenty when a muffled explosion sounded. The entire factory stared at the loudspeaker with expectant eyes and was completely excited.
The employees hugged each other, their eyes filled with tears, and they were full of excitement, shouting inaudible excitement.
Li Xuewu stood in front of the office window, listening to the celebration sounds coming from the corridor, the smile on his face was so proud and proud.
"lead--"
Peng Xiaoli stood at the door of the office, and perhaps because of excitement, his voice was a little hoarse and reminded: "It's almost nine o'clock, you have to go to the guesthouse."
"Oh, I see."
Li Xuewu nodded. According to the agreed schedule and time, today he would receive the representatives of the Santaya Group who came to the factory to discuss business.
This date was chosen at a really good time.
He looked at the emerald green outside the window, his heart pounding. He shook his head slightly, feeling that today's meeting might not be what the other party expected.
Just as Li Xuewu expected, the business representative of Santaya Group received the relevant news when he came out of the hotel.
Those who were waiting on the road, hearing the news on the radio, and looking at the people cheering and celebrating on both sides of the street, of course they understood what was happening.
For a moment, there was deathly silence in the car, which lasted until the vehicle entered the Red Star Factory.
After entering the factory, they saw the spirit of the guards and the smiling faces in the factory, and the confident glow made them frown.
From today on, the great Eastern country has truly become an important player on the world stage.
The deeper the convoy went into the Red Star Factory, the more obvious and intense this warm atmosphere became.
The radio was repeating the latest news, and propaganda officials were already hanging and posting celebratory banners.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
William Robin, vice president of Santaya Business Group, got out of a Mercedes-Benz sedan and shook hands with the representatives of the Red Star Factory who were standing in front of the guesthouse to greet them.
Li Xuewu just stood there, smiled and politely extended his hand, and greeted: "Hello, Mr. Robin."
"Hello, Lady Amandine—"
"Mr. Li, congratulations--"
When Amandine saw Li Xuewu turning around to greet her, she smiled and said, "We heard good news about you on the way here."
"It's our good news—"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and emphasized: "A better and safer living and development environment can bring more possibilities for our cooperation."
"I believe you also sincerely hope that we can step into the right position and show the charm of our ancient country with 5,000 years of history on the world stage."
"Of course, I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time."
Amandine smiled and shook her head, saying in agreement: "Once you come here, who can not be fascinated by this long history and culture?"
"Welcome to the Red Star Factory."
When Li Xuewu heard her say this, he smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and made a gesture of invitation.
In the past, the country was poor and weak, and was bullied by the great powers, the worst of which was France.
Today we use the most shocking words to teach these barbarians how to trade.
The premise of trade is not guns but courtesy.
A country of etiquette wins people over with virtue.
If virtue cannot convince others, then let them know what it means to be a human being.
William Robin had been observing Li Xuewu's expression and look.
I have already been thinking about and being wary of the main person in charge of this partner.
However, after going through the negotiation process and what he saw today, he felt that no amount of vigilance was too much.
The Red Star Factory was a rising trust, just like China today.
From the perspective of partners, they need to think carefully about how to adjust their attitude towards cooperation with Red Star Factory in China.
The only entertainment options that Red Star Factory can offer right now are two.
One is an international hotel, but it focuses more on reception and is not suitable for business.
The other place is a guesthouse. The reception conditions here are average, but the conditions for business negotiations are acceptable.
As usual, the Santaya Business Group's business cooperation in the mainland is carried out under the economic guidance of the Foreign Affairs Embassy, perhaps because they have deeper cooperation and requirements.
Li Xuewu had never asked about these things and had no idea.
Of course, from the relationship between Chantal and foreign embassies, it is not difficult to see that this cooperation is not just of commercial significance.
Intrinsically, it has the purpose of exploration and experimentation.
Santaya Business Group is willing to be a pioneer in this business cooperation attempt. Even if something goes wrong, they are willing to bear this part of the loss.
But if it succeeds, their commercial and trade position in the country will be secured, and they will get the most delicious piece of meat.
Even if it fails, as a result of this kind of effort, you can still gain a good impression in foreign affairs.
It provides a real solution for more French companies or capital in the future.
Therefore, whenever I met with the business representatives of the Santaya Group, I could always see the economic attaché of the Foreign Affairs Embassy.
There was not much greeting between the representatives of both sides after they sat down. After all, Li Xuewu did not have much personal interaction with the other party.
Mr. Robin is the vice president of Santaya Group and a professional manager.
Robin is a doer, not a manager, and certainly not someone who makes such important decisions.
It’s not that his power is small, but the cooperation with Red Star Factory was led and arranged by Chantal from beginning to end.
Robin is only responsible for promoting these collaborations and generating better economic benefits.
Therefore, the other party came today to discuss the project. After all, the framework of the cooperation agreement has been signed and we are just waiting for its implementation.
"I believe you have received the bank's information, right?"
Robin nodded slightly and said, "We want to know when the machining and parts production will begin."
He spread his hands and explained, "We cooperated with the Red Star Factory because we were attracted by your heavy industrial production capacity. These should be able to be produced quickly, right?"
"Yes, we can produce it at any time."
Li Xuewu nodded first, and then introduced: "But during the cooperation negotiations, we have already mentioned that we want to achieve such a large cooperation project through cooperation."
He flipped open the materials in front of him and continued, "We have a better production plan for valves, bearings and other hardware parts in the agreement."
“It’s about the machining companies.”
Just as Li Xuewu was explaining the situation, the office staff sent the other party relevant documents.
It has been translated. In this regard, the Red Star Factory has strong foreign affairs office and office, and its attitude towards business and trade is also very good.
"Our factory has acquired a large machining enterprise and is currently in the negotiation stage."
Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "This company's machining capabilities are among the best in the region, and it's also the most outstanding one."
"We believe that during the acquisition period, the relevant hardware components will be able to achieve a large and stable supply."
"That is to say——"
William Robin looked at the information in his hand and asked, "Before the end of this year, or early next year, can this project be completed independently?"
"Does your factory produce it independently?"
He raised his head, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Just now you mentioned co-production of these, I wonder if other projects are..."
"No, or not entirely."
Li Xuewu explained: "Even after the acquisition, the machining company is a multi-party cooperative and jointly invested enterprise."
In fact, French businessmen care a lot about this, and so do other foreign businessmen.
They believe that more investors can represent the stability and reliability of a company.
During the inspection of Red Star Factory, what prompted the other party to come to the negotiation table was Red Star Factory's foreign trade foundation and the effective cooperation mechanism of the tertiary industry and the joint industry.
The fundamental way to attract each other is for multiple companies to jointly build a steel upstream and downstream trust.
Red Star Ecological Industry is the powerful tool for incubating this cooperative enterprise.
Therefore, the Santaya Group decided to participate in the design and construction of this project in order to gain the trust and foundation of the incubator from the very beginning.
"I believe you are also aware that our factory has cooperated with the local bank to establish a savings bank - Red Star United Savings Bank."
Li Xuewu said: "In the future, Red Star Factory's commercial investment in the tertiary industry and industrial integration will be completed through banks."
"That is to say, a stable production pattern is formed with product economy as the leading factor, capital power as the catalyst, and production and technological power as the strong guarantee."
"Is this also true for the machining company you mentioned?"
William Robin tapped the document in his hand and asked, "I need to clarify, can you explain more clearly about the main body of hardware parts production?"
"Red Star Factory will completely acquire this enterprise and then reorganize and integrate its assets."
Li Xuewu introduced: "During this process, we have decided to become a machining company and have started recruiting partners for the project."
"That is to say, we provide equipment and technology, and our partners provide funds and other resources to jointly complete the reconstruction of the machining enterprise."
He knocked on the table, pointed to the document in the other person's hand and said, "Regarding the question of the production subject, I will give you a clear answer here."
“Even if Red Star Factory becomes a machining enterprise, it is still a part of United Industries and a piece of the puzzle of the Trade Management Center.”
Li Xuewu looked at the other party and said, "You don't need to worry about how we produce it, let alone where these parts come from."
“You just need to make sure that the products provided by our trade management center supply chain are qualified.”
He was very tough, but he used the most appropriate polite words to emphasize: "We don't ask who you sell to or where you sell it to, right?"
"So, this is a secret?"
Vice President William Robin frowned slightly, exchanged glances with Amandine, then looked at Li Xuewu and asked tentatively, "We can't know?"
"No, it's not confidential. I think you misunderstood."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said seriously: "The factories we cooperate with have all been inspected and investigated. The situation you think does not exist."
"The reason we emphasize this is that we want to confirm the brand of supply chain, and then."
He sat up straight, leaned back in his chair, and said with a playful look in his eyes: "I don't want to tell you either, unless you tell me where the product is distributed and who the distributor is."
-
"It is said that the negotiations with the French company Santaya Group broke down?"
Walking from the main office building to the small cafeteria, Cheng Kaiyuan happened to meet Li Xuewu coming over.
He greeted her with a smile, and they walked towards the backyard together. He asked this question on the way.
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked with amusement, "Where did you hear that?"
"It's not like this?"
Cheng Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "That's what I said--"
"The atmosphere in the government is really like that. Everyone believes everything they hear."
"You're right, this kind of atmosphere is really not good."
Li Xuewu echoed, "The contract has already been signed, how can there be a joke that the negotiations have fallen through?"
He smiled disdainfully, thinking back to the day when he came out of the conference room with a deliberately stern face, but he didn't expect that the news would really explode on Cheng Kaiyuan's side.
At that time in the conference room, Li Xuewu communicated with the other party in French. Perhaps the service staff did not understand what they said and only judged from their expressions.
The French, the old money gentleman, always has that dead look on his face.
Especially after being beaten up by Li Xuewu, his forehead was full of lumps. It would be strange if he could laugh.
However, the two sides are negotiating on the project and discussing when it will be implemented.
What happened? Just because Li Xuewu deliberately put on a stern face and even said a few harsh words to Peng Xiaoli at the door, what was the result?
You see, what Peng Xiaoli said was indeed correct. The two of them used the trick of Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai and really connected this line.
Cheng Kaiyuan just met Li Xuewu and asked this question casually, but he didn't expect to be a little stupid.
He was extremely embarrassed at the moment, but he didn't expect that Li Xuewu was just testing him.
Is he the mastermind behind this?
