"Oh, you've come so far."
The old lady and Liu Yin looked at the world map that Li Xuecai found on the Eight Immortals Table, feeling a little sad and worried.
Ji Yuxiu pointed out the location of the port city to the two of them, and Li Xuecai and Li Xuewen studied the direction of their sister's trip south.
"From the capital all the way south, passing through Changzhou, Zhengzhou, Hankou and other places, until you reach Guangzhou."
Li Xuecai pointed at the map with his fingers and introduced: "From Yangcheng, you can go directly to Gangcheng."
"Does this count as going abroad?" Liu Yin nervously clutched her apron and asked worriedly, "Will there be any danger?"
"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as going abroad." Li Xuewen explained seriously, "The land that has been leased will be taken back in the future."
"But aren't foreigners still the ones who have the final say there?" Liu Yin did not let go of her concerns because of her son's explanation. "Foreigners don't have good things."
She frowned and looked at her daughter and asked, "Can't you not go? Isn't it good to work at home?"
She only asked half of the question, and for the second half she looked at her second son, knowing who could make the decision.
Li Xuewu knew his mother's concerns, so he looked at his sister silently and gave her the choice.
Li Xue is not a child anymore. She is an 18-year-old girl. She has been working for two years and should have her own plans and agenda.
Her mother was worried about her safety, afraid that she would be helpless and alone thousands of miles away, and that her family would not be able to support her at all if anything happened.
Out of habit, she wanted to use family affection and her status as a mother to persuade Li Xue to stay and give up the opportunity to go out for training and study.
As the second brother, Li Xuewu can help his sister withstand the pressure, but everything else has to be decided by her own.
"Mom, what danger can there be? This is not 20 or 30 years ago." Li Xue felt the pressure from her mother and took the initiative to comfort her: "Now it is Hong Kong City that is afraid of us, and even more afraid of us."
"I went there to study as required by the organization, not to have fun. All my actions are arranged by the organization, so nothing will happen."
She glanced at her second brother and gestured, "Right, second brother?"
"Explain to mom that she has never been far away." Li Xuewu nodded and kicked the ball back, "I'll help you pack your luggage."
"You don't need to help me," Li Xue glared at her second brother angrily, "I've almost cleaned up everything, you explain it to mom."
"Oh, Mom, it's okay." Li Xuecai stood up, still holding the magnifying glass in his hand, and said, "Li Xue is not a child anymore."
"You are an adult now?" Liu Yin glared at her youngest son. "Aren't you eating at home now? Go, collect firewood."
"Well, I can only help you up to this point." Li Xuecai spread his hands to his younger sister and said, "It's because you, my third brother, have no say at home."
"Why does it take so long to take the train?"
The old lady also felt sorry for her granddaughter and asked, "How long will it take?"
"I'll be gone for only six months and will be back before the end of the year." Li Xue looked at her mother, put her arm around her grandmother's arm and explained, "My second brother took great pains to arrange this for me. How could I refuse his kindness?"
Swah——
Li Xuewu clearly felt the lightning-like gazes from his father and mother at the eight-immortals table staring at him, which was extremely dangerous.
"How dare you believe her words?" Li Xuewu laughed, "I even got angry with Deputy Director Jing in order to cross her name off."
"Don't think I don't know. You are the mastermind!" Liu Yin refused to listen to her son's explanation. She nodded at him and said, "Without your support, would Xiaoxue have the courage to go so far?"
I have to say, ginger is still spicy.
Liu Yin and Li Shun didn't need to listen to what Li Xuewu explained. They just needed to figure out the fundamental problem.
Li Xue has only been working for two years. Even if she has a good idea, she cannot go without Li Xuewu's nod.
Everyone in this compound knows how powerful he is in the Red Star Factory, and he behaves the same way at home. It really shows that he doesn't treat his parents as his own parents.
"Okay, you're so cruel—"
Li Xuewu looked at the girl who secretly winked at him, and helplessly explained to his parents: "It was indeed not me who instigated it. The leader wanted to train her, so what could I do?"
"No matter how incompetent I am, I can't stop my sister from learning and improving, right?"
"As for going out to study for half a year," he pointed to the location of Gangcheng on the map and introduced, "The factory is going to set up an international business office here. Their study and training will be supported by partners."
"Whether it's Wufenghang, Zhongrun, or other foreign-funded enterprises, they all provide training resources, but the people are still in the offices."
"Not going out? Just training?" Liu Yin was obviously unconvinced. "If I have to be locked up for half a year, I will be suffocated to death."
"The security environment over there is still guaranteed," Li Xuewu pointed at Li Xue and introduced, "The factory will arrange for someone to accompany you, and they will also provide security support, so there will be no problem."
"Since you've said so, just follow your child's wishes." The old lady took off her reading glasses and said, "You're already so old, how can you not take care of yourself?"
"Going out to study is an opportunity," Zhao Yafang also advised, "especially going to Hong Kong City. When you come back, you must focus on training and using them."
She had already received Li Xue's request, and now she helped her sister-in-law to persuade her.
There are only a few people who can make decisions in the family. Zhao Yafang is the eldest daughter-in-law, and Li Xuewu is a capable person. One word from them is worth ten words from others.
Gu Ning didn't say anything. She sat aside and looked at Li Xue with some envy. She had heard Li Xuewu talk a lot about Hong Kong City.
She does not yearn for or like the petty bourgeois lifestyle in Hong Kong, she just hopes to be exposed to more professional knowledge and diverse culture.
In fact, she was still too well-behaved. At that time, many young men in Guangzhou went to the port city for travel and vacation through special channels.
With Gu Ning's status, if she had a more active mind, wouldn't it be easy for her to go to Hong Kong City with the help of her father's connections in Yangcheng?
It’s just that the Gu family’s education does not allow it, and the Gu family members will not do such a risky thing. Others are others, and they are themselves.
"I don't want to hinder her growth and progress, it's just..." Liu Yin said this and didn't say anything else. It would be useless to say anything more, the children have grown up and have their own life choices.
"Mom..." Li Xue saw her mother lowering her head, so she quickly went over and hugged her mother's neck, whispering warm words.
-
A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. She is the only daughter in the family. How can she not worry about whether Li Shun can come down the mountain and come home?
Li Xue had not made this plan before. Jing Yunong brought it up when he was chatting with Li Xuewu.
If I don't train my own sister, will I miss this opportunity?
Jing Yunong liked Li Xue very much. He discovered her innocent and lively side from the very beginning. He taught her personally for two years and developed feelings for her.
In addition to his relationship with Li Xuewu, he took the initiative to stage a "torture trick" and arranged for Li Xue to join the troupe to study in Hong Kong.
This meant that time was very tight, and Li Xue was afraid that her family would not let her go, so she waited until two days before leaving to tell them.
The day before she left, the whole family came to Li Xue's house to see her off and had a reunion dinner together.
Not surprisingly, the self-torture tactic finally hurt Li Xuewu. Li Xue took the pressure onto him and was forgiven by her parents.
For this training, Li Xuewu arranged several people, including Sha Qizhi, Xu Ning and Zhang Songying.
Zhou Miaomiao was not arranged by him, and Li Xue was made by Jing Yunong. Strictly speaking, even Zhang Songying does not count.
Because the others who went to Gangcheng were for training and study, while Zhang Songying was for inspection and study, there were one group and two classes.
The team led by Zhang Songying will investigate the pharmaceutical cosmetics market and production situation in Hong Kong. After staying in Hong Kong for a period of time, they will fly to France for further investigation.
At the invitation of Santaya Group, Red Star Steel Group also hopes to learn advanced production technology and management methods from abroad.
After talking with Zhang Songying that time, I received a call from her in the evening.
Li Xuewu arranged for her to be transferred to the Pharmaceutical Corporation, where she led inspection teams to investigate not only the pharmaceutical and cosmetics market in Gangcheng.
Including a series of "light" industries such as services, culture, medical care, education, and media. As the vanguard team, they are responsible for opening up inspection channels. In the future, more comrades will go out to study and communicate.
To be honest, Li Xuewu was a little worried about allowing his sister to attend the training, but he hoped that Li Xue could grow up quickly.
On the one hand, we strengthened the safety management of the training team, and on the other hand, we maintained close contact with the port city to ensure the safety of their training.
Ji Weidong brought him a message, telling him not to worry, that Li Xue would not suffer any loss in Gangcheng, and any grievances she suffered would be considered his.
Li Xuewu didn't dare to believe what others said, but Ji Weidong's words were still accurate, especially in this matter.
There are many complex forces in Hong Kong City, but no one dares to provoke someone like Ji Weidong.
With capital support from above, backers behind him, and fearless criminals at his disposal, who would dare to provoke him?
Lou Xiao'e did not respond with too many assurances, just saying "I know."
She knew it, and she knew it.
Any extra words Li Xuewu said would be a sign of his distrust and disrespect for her.
The mother was worried about Li Xue's life and safety in Gangcheng, but for Li Xuewu, he was actually more worried that Li Xue would learn the wrong things.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Saturday, October 6.
The factory organized a farewell party for the cadres on this trip, and arranged for them to board a passenger ship to Tianjin at noon.
Not taking the train?
Of course not. Even though the Red Star Factory had convenient facilities in this regard, how could it possibly arrange for dozens of people to take a train to Guangzhou?
After leaving Tianjin, he took a passenger ship directly to the port city. This was a special line opened this year, and Li Xuewu didn’t even know who was using it.
You said that at that time there was only one port between the mainland and the port city, Yangcheng?
No, there are also customs clearance in Tianjin and Beihai. Passengers and cargo can all pass through customs and take passenger ships to the port city, but it is unclear who the passengers are.
Just in January of this year, the People's Daily published an article titled "The 'free market' is a butcher's knife that kills people without blood."
Five months later, Red Star Steel Group is trying to learn from the free market, improve production capacity and develop the economy.
This shows how complex the policy and production and operation environment is at that time.
-
"I didn't expect you to participate in this field training."
In the farewell procession, Peng Xiaoli was neither the saddest nor the happiest, but he was the most awkward.
I didn't know what identity I should use to see Li Xue off. On the dock, the wind blew his hair into a mess, making him look a little embarrassed.
"I think the organization's arrangement is a bit hypocritical." Li Xue looked at him and said, "But I cherish this learning opportunity very much."
"I understand. This opportunity is very rare. I have heard everything they said about you." Peng Xiaoli nodded, looked at Li Xue and said, "You have this ability and this luck. You will definitely be valued when you come back."
"Is that what you came to the dock to tell me?"
Li Xue tidied the hair by her ears, looked at him and said, "I never believe in luck, I only look at the cause."
"Go back and don't delay your work."
She could feel Peng Xiaoli's inner thoughts and guessed what he wanted to say, but both of them felt it was inconvenient at the moment.
"Li Xue—" Just as she turned around and prepared to get on the boat, Peng Xiaoli stopped her and took out a watch and handed it to her, "This is for you. I wish you a safe journey, academic success, and a safe return."
"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."
Li Xue glanced at the watch in his hand, shook her head slightly and said, "Thank you for coming to see me off. That's enough."
She nodded, stepped onto the gangway, and after getting on board, she looked back and saw Peng Xiaoli still standing there awkwardly.
"Go back and work hard."
"You too, have a great trip!"
Peng Xiaoli held his watch, waved his hand, held back his tears, and smiled as he saw her off.
Gu Cheng got out of the car, glanced at Li Xue who turned and walked towards the cabin, and then came to Peng Xiaoli.
"The falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is merciless."
He patted his best friend's shoulder and sighed, "There is an ocean in her eyes, but you only have her in your eyes."
"Huh - you're so literary." Peng Xiaoli let out a long breath, wiped his eyes and said, "You want to write a poem?"
"Write your lovelorn poem? It's not impossible—"
Gu Cheng chuckled and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to lunch at noon to celebrate your new life and freedom."
"I'm not even in love, so how can I feel lost?" Peng Xiaoli looked at the watch in his hand and smiled bitterly, "I have always been free."
"Don't pretend to be strong. I know how you feel. Who hasn't had unrequited love?" Gu Cheng patted his shoulder, took him back, and said as he walked, "Grow up and find a good girl."
"Look at me now, am I not doing well?"
He boasted, "My father-in-law has only one daughter. She can get whatever she wants. Even if her salary is not enough for her to spend, my father-in-law still has to support her."
"We want to buy a house. My parents are still discussing how big to buy. My father-in-law has already paid the full amount for us..."
"Are you sure you're here to comfort me?"
Listening to Gu Cheng's words, Peng Xiaoli's heart ached even more, "If I could keep Li Xue, I would also have all of what you said."
"Alas - you are just like this, that's why she doesn't like you." Gu Cheng nodded at him and said, "Too contrived, too pretentious."
"You obviously like her, but you have to say something vulgar, as if you are hypocritical if you don't do it for power."
"We are brothers, how can I not know you?" Gu Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "If you really like power, wouldn't you have been married long ago?"
"I'm not trying to bully you. Director Wei's daughter is waiting for you. It's easy wealth!"
He nudged Peng Xiaoli with his shoulder and said, "I asked around. They only have one daughter. You know Director Wei's ability."
"You say I'm hypocritical, I admit it, but there can't be no love, right?" Peng Xiaoli looked at him and said, "You don't know what Wei Zaike's daughter looks like, and you don't know what he looks like? I can't bring myself to say that."
"Tsk, tsk—look at you like that—"
Gu Cheng clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't starve you. If I starved you for three years, a sow would be as beautiful as Diao Chan."
He pointed at Peng Xiaoli and said, "You are just like Lin Daiyu, with a heart as high as the sky but a life as fragile as paper. You deserve to be hurt by love."
"I am willing to..." Peng Xiaoli rolled his eyes and sighed, "It's nothing more than waiting another half a year."
"Bullshit—I'll make a bet with you!"
Gu Cheng glared and said, "You will still be standing here half a year later. Li Xue is definitely not the Li Xue who left today. Do you believe it?"
"Let's not bet on anything big, let's just bet on the lighter that the Secretary-General gave you. I'm determined to win this time."
"Get lost, get lost, get lost—" Peng Xiaoli certainly wouldn't show any good looks to this kind of person who took advantage of others' misfortune, "I am also making progress."
"Yes, you are making progress, but others are growing faster than you." Gu Cheng gestured with his hands and asked, "Overtaking on a curve, do you understand?"
"You came here two years earlier than him, but he had more opportunities. He has been with Deputy Director Jing for two years, so he has already laid a good foundation."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "You are now a deputy section chief in a second-level department. When you return, you may be a deputy section chief in a first-level department."
"Half a year of training is equivalent to your past one to two years. If you don't express your feelings, you may have to call them leaders."
"Don't bother me, I confessed, but she didn't agree--"
Peng Xiaoli lowered his head again, looked at the lady's watch in his hand, and said, "Maybe you are right. There is a big gap between us."
"The gap is your heart, your inferiority complex." Gu Cheng stood by the car and lit a cigarette for himself, saying, "Listen to my advice. Among our group of people, no one is more proud than Li Xue. She is not suitable for you."
"Haven't you figured out what Deputy Director Jing meant?"
He turned his head and looked at the direction the passenger ship left, and said, "When Li Xue comes back, she will definitely be transferred to a lower position, either to the Finance Department or the Audit Department. It will definitely be a unit that is convenient for training good officers."
"With the Secretary-General here and Deputy Director Jing, she will surely rise rapidly in the next two years. What about you?"
Peng Xiaoli had to admit that Gu Cheng's words were a bit hurtful and straightforward, but they were absolutely the truth.
"Of course you have the support of the Secretary-General and the support of Representative Wang, but there is still a layer of separation."
Gu Cheng sighed and said, "In fact, I have already seen that Li Xue will not choose you, and the Secretary-General will not agree with you."
"You are in the middle of a situation and you are obsessed with it."
"Well, you're right. I'm stubborn." Peng Xiaoli took his cigarette and put it in his mouth. "I really like her."
"From the day you became the secretary of the Secretary-General, you have lost the qualifications to pursue her. Don't you understand?"
Gu Cheng frowned slightly and reminded: "Li Xue has a bright future, and the Secretary-General will not allow close relationships to affect her development."
What is a close relationship? Peng Xiaoli is Li Xuewu's secretary, and Li Xue is Li Xuewu's sister. This is called a close relationship.
According to the unspoken rules, this is also considered inbreeding, and is a situation that must be considered and avoided when promoting and appointing cadres.
If Li Xue and Peng Xiaoli are together, it will affect their progress. According to the latest cadre appointment conditions announced by the Commission's Office, close relatives cannot be in the same department, let alone in the same agency.
Of course, the situation of Li Xuewu and Li Xue is special. One is the factory leader and the other is the factory leader's secretary, so no one takes it seriously.
But considering Peng Xiaoli and Li Xue, even for Li Xue herself, there is no need for her to be with Peng Xiaoli.
This delay, which would affect the two's progress for perhaps three to five years, would be a huge loss.
Why did Gu Cheng say that he was stubborn and unrepentant? With Peng Xiaoli's intelligence and cleverness, how could he not see this?
This may be the reason why Peng Xiaoli decided to stay in the security team and not follow Li Xuewu to the committee office.
He wanted to belong to a different department from Li Xue, but deliberately ignored his disciple relationship with Li Xuewu.
Now that Li Xue explicitly rejected his watch, it was an attitude and a statement. How could he not understand it?
He knew that he was wishful thinking.
-
Li Xuewu couldn't bear to leave his sister, so he took the opportunity of a business trip on Saturday and went to Tianjin on the same boat with Li Xue.
Also traveling with them were Li Huaide, Gao Yaqin, and Zhang Jinsong.
This time Gao Yaqin was in charge of business negotiations and made great contributions in Tianjin. She also presided over and prepared the construction of the sales headquarters, making great contributions.
Therefore, Gao Yaqin participated in this trip to Tianjin, which seemed to be a business trip but was actually a trip for fun.
Zhang Jinsong, who is also a new member of the team, does not have much contact with everyone on a daily basis, especially in private.
Li Huaide called Gao Yaqin and also called him, and his purpose was obvious.
Within the organizational ecology, co-optation and differentiation occur at all times and everywhere. This is a compulsory course for Lao Li.
Of course, there is a reason for pulling the two out on the weekend. Gao Yaqin is now in charge of economic work and has to report the work results in Tianjin to Li Huaide.
Zhang Jinsong is in charge of logistics. Li Huaide and Li Xuewu are studying several projects and are planning to put them in the logistics department and want to discuss them with him.
This passenger ship of the Red Star Factory is very large and has a large tonnage. The situation on the inland river section is very stable. There is almost no shaking in the cabin. Even Lao Li did not get seasick. This is very evident.
Several people were sitting in the first class cabin. The waiters had already prepared fruits and vegetables to entertain the leaders. Li Xue was called over by Li Xuewu to make tea and pour water for everyone.
"Find a place to sit by yourself. Your second brother can't bear to leave you. He has to order you around so that he can feel at ease."
Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xue with a smile, and said to Li Xuewu, "Not to mention you, I would not be willing to send my sister so far away if it were me."
"Oh - don't mention it -" Li Xuewu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "My parents complained about me a lot."
“Hehehe——” Li Huaide chuckled, “Don’t blame me for making a wrong judgment. I’m doing this for your own good.”
He nodded at Li Xuewu and said to Gao Yaqin and Zhang Jinsong, "Actually, there isn't much of a conflict. They just had different starting points. They were both for Li Xue's good, but they ended up arguing with each other again."
"I heard about it," Gao Yaqin nodded with a smile, looked at Li Xue and said, "After all, he is a good comrade. He has the care of your second brother and the attention of Deputy Director Jing. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a troublesome thing."
"It's my fault for not discussing it with the secretary...my second brother in advance," Li Xue explained embarrassedly, "I made them angry because I lacked organizational skills and my thinking was not up to standard."
"Now you are reflecting on yourself—"
Li Xuewu glanced at her, let out a long breath, shook his head slightly and said, "You're older now, you have your own ideas, I can't control you anymore."
"You sound so old-fashioned when you say that." Zhang Jinsong looked at Li Xue, then looked at Li Xuewu and said, "If you didn't know, you would think you were talking about your daughter."
"Hehehe——" Gao Yaqin said with a smile: "If it was a daughter, it would be easy to deal with, but a younger sister is hard to say and hard to control, right?"
Li Xuewu raised his teacup to toast her with empathy, looking like a close friend. Li Huaide and Zhang Jinsong also laughed.
Li Xue only responded with one sentence and then sat behind her second brother. She looked very well behaved and not at all presumptuous.
Judging from the polite words said by Li Huaide, Gao Yaqin and others, they actually knew very well that they had no objection to Li Xuewu taking care of Li Xue.
Li Xuewu is an upright and honest person, and he is well-known in the agency. He never takes advantage of the public, and Li Xue is the only relative he has arranged for personnel matters. Who can say anything about him?
Moreover, in the past two years that Li Xue has been working, Li Xuewu has not shown much favoritism towards this younger sister. Instead, because of his relationship with Deputy Director Tong Jing, he rarely has contact with Li Xue in the office.
Not to mention that it was Jing Yunong who wanted to arrange the secretary this time, even if it was Li Xuewu who wanted to take care of his sister, who could say anything.
"Mr. Xu is quite capable of getting things done." Zhang Jinsong looked at the murals in the cabin, as well as the promotional frames, which were made of wood and attached to the wall.
"Last time, Director Zhao from the Industry Bureau took a ship to Tianjin and said that the service of our ship can be promoted as a model standard for shipping."
"You mean Comrade Xu Sinian?"
Li Huaide chuckled, holding his teacup and looking around the first-class cabin, nodded, and said, "He is a very clever person."
"This time when we go to Tianjin, you two should have a good chat."
He gestured in the direction of Li Xuewu and said, "Well, the secretary-general has a good relationship with him. They used to be together often."
"It was Mr. Xu who introduced me to the world, haha..." Li Xuewu chuckled, "I had just started working at that time and was very stupid."
"I don't believe that—" Zhang Jinsong smiled and looked at Gao Yaqin opposite him, and asked, "Deputy Director Gao, do you believe it?"
"I always listen carefully to his words, they sound very false—"
"Hahaha——" Gao Yaqin's answer was very funny. Several people laughed. She turned around and looked at Li Xue and said, "Don't mind it."
“No, the leaders have a really good relationship.”
Li Xue smiled and said, "My second brother often tells his friends in private that our factory values unity the most, which is why we have achieved today's results."
"Look, this one is obviously the secretary-general's biological sister—" Gao Yaqin nodded at her with a smile, and said to Li Xuewu: "I'm not being nosy, young eagles spread their wings and fly high, it's good to learn more."
“Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles.”
Zhang Jinsong smiled and nodded, saying, "If there is no chance, we should go out for a walk, take a look, and change our horizons."
"It's difficult - this period." Li Huaide shook his head slightly. Everyone understood what he meant. "Young cadres still have a chance to go out."
"Not necessarily. In the past two years, there have been many opportunities for the higher-ups to lead teams out for inspections," Gao Yaqin introduced. "They were all to the camp countries."
"I'd rather go to Western countries and see how they built up their economy," Zhang Jinsong said, stubbed out his cigarette, raised his eyebrows and said, "How did they build up their economy?"
"Rich primitive accumulation and economic exploitation," Gao Yaqin said rather bluntly, "through the prosperous and hypocritical surface, all you can see is hegemony and tyranny. They lack the history of thinking."
"Well, I agree with Comrade Yaqin's point of view," Li Huaide nodded. "After all, she has worked in the foreign economic department, so she has the knowledge and experience in this area."
"Isn't that what the higher-ups thought when they arranged for Deputy Director Gao to come to the Red Star Factory? Haha." Li Xuewu chuckled, took a sip from his teacup, and said, "I think if we take it step by step, no matter whether it's a faction country or a Western country, we will eventually be able to get our products there."
"You have to have this ambition—" Li Huaide nodded at Li Xuewu and said to Gao Yaqin: "The sales company has a heavy responsibility."
"Only when the sea is turbulent can a hero's true character be revealed." Gao Yaqin said confidently: "Wherever the ships of Yingcheng sail, our trade will be there, and we will make it bigger and stronger and create brilliance."
"So, the topic is back to Mr. Xu." Zhang Jinsong said with a smile: "I really need to find an opportunity to interact with him more."
"I've already thought of the first question I want to ask him when we meet," he tapped the armrest of the rattan chair and raised his eyebrows, "How did this speedboat get its name? Why did it get the name Shrimp Crawler?"
"Hahaha--"
-
This time I came to Tianjin, in addition to visiting the site, listening to reports and discussing business, I really came to have fun.
Xu Sinian set out from Yingcheng and headed straight for Tianjin.
The old guy contacted Li Xuewu and Li Huaide in advance, saying that he wanted to go out to sea to fish and play mahjong, and experience the fun of playing the Great Wall on the sea.
Mr. Li is not interested in fishing, but he cannot miss playing mahjong, which is beneficial to his physical and mental health.
However, Li Xuewu thought that Li Huaide, who was so afraid of death, would not board a ship, unless it was a large ship like a passenger ship of several thousand tons.
Even though Yingcheng Shipbuilding has built so many ships with extremely high delivery standards, Li Huaide does not dare to board a ship built by his own factory.
This matter cannot be spread outside, otherwise people will think that Yingcheng’s shipbuilding technology and quality are not up to standard.
They play for fun, but at their level, they play with a purpose.
How could the four members of the Red Star Factory team come to Tianjin just to have fun?
Based on Tianjin Trade Management Center, we have expanded into supply chain procurement companies and distribution companies, and also differentiated into an international business department.
In the past three months, when the International Business Department was just established, it has relied on the support of the group to sign orders worth more than 80 million yuan, which is enough to attract the attention and concern of Tianjin and the foreign trade system.
Although the Red Star Factory did not build a factory in Tianjin and did not bring production supply and demand relationships to Tianjin, it did launch a big satellite in business.
Last year, Red Star Factory successively acquired several buildings around the Trade Management Center for business expansion.
Now, with these buildings as the core, the area has expanded to the surrounding areas, and many import and export trade and provincial commercial enterprises have set up offices.
Obviously, driven by the Trade Management Center, this place has become a new business district, which is a business opportunity.
Tianjin cannot but attach importance to it, and the foreign trade system attaches more importance to these 80 million. Red Star Factory, relying on its own strength, has leveraged not only the 80 million in foreign trade, but also the export rules under the foreign trade system.
Gao Yaqin not only presided over a series of tasks in Tianjin, but also actively contacted and coordinated with foreign trade and economic departments, communicated and handled the entry and exit procedures, created an import and export channel unique to the Red Star Steel Group, and achieved formalized and standardized development.
With foreign-funded enterprises such as Santaya Group, Sanhe Corporation, and Geely Star Shipbuilding as the export core, Hong Kong-funded enterprises such as Zhongrun and Wufenghang as the bridge, and Red Star Steel Group Sales Corporation as the foundation, multilateral cooperation has been reached in many aspects such as minerals, trade, and energy.
In particular, the investment of commercial banks has invigorated the capital economy, promoted the development of enterprises and the circulation of goods, provided a certain research basis for market-oriented discussions, and also attracted wider attention.
With tens of millions of investment, the key production, management and commercial nodes in Gangcheng, Fengcheng, Yingcheng, Tianjin and Beijing radiate the coastal and northeastern heavy industries. Red Star Steel Group is like an economic beam threading a needle, illuminating not only the path forward for economic development.
Whoever grasps the pulse of the times can seize the opportunities of its development, and these opportunities are essential for progress.
The passenger ship docked in Tianjin. Li Xuewu said goodbye to his sister Li Xue and accompanied several leaders off the ship.
After acquiring several surrounding buildings, the Trade Management Center prepared to create a commercial trade club based on the advantage of having a dock at its doorstep.
As the name suggests, this kind of club is not the kind for playing bridge or watching movies. It is a professional club serving business.
Accommodation, catering, transportation, meetings, sports, sea fishing, etc.
Zhang Jinsong came here this time to investigate the establishment of the commercial trade club, which is his project.
Several people got off the dock and took the sales company's car to the company headquarters not far away.
That’s right, the headquarters of Red Star Steel Group Sales Corporation is in Tianjin, which was determined during the group’s planning process.
The Red Star Factory is committed to placing economic and trade work in Tianjin, and all eggs should not be put in the same basket.
Just like placing the production project in Liaodong, this is why Beijing Industry did not dare to control the Red Star Factory.
"We have already negotiated the property here, and all that's left is signing the purchase contract."
Zhuang Cangshu was particularly active. It was rare for four team leaders to come together.
“The size and condition of these properties are very good, and they can be directly renovated and turned into business clubs.”
He pointed and introduced: "On this basis, we can also run seafood restaurants, leisure and entertainment, vacation and recuperation, etc."
"I'm really jealous of the spending of those foreign engineers."
Zhuang Cangshu said bluntly: "This year, the Santaya Group has sent more and more workers, and many people have come to Geely Star Shipping."
"If we include the Yingcheng Port terminal construction project, I estimate that the number of foreign engineers will exceed 500 in the next three years."
He looked at Li Huaide and others and said seriously: "These people all have paid vacations every month."
"They would take a boat back to the port city for vacation, and each time they would spend several thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan."
"You mean, let them spend their money here?"
Zhang Jinsong looked at Zhuang Cangshu and asked doubtfully, "Why? What kind of leisure and vacation experience can be provided here that would make them choose to stay here instead of going to Hong Kong City."
"You have to think it over before you speak," he reminded, "There are things in Hong Kong that you definitely can't have here."
"I understand what you mean," Zhuang Cangshu nodded and explained seriously, "They have about 7 days of vacation every month, but it takes 6 days to go back and forth from here to the port city."
"If you calculate it this way, even if they get more vacation time, most of the time is wasted on the road."
He spread his hands and said, "We can learn from international hotels and create a more closed hospitality service organization."
“There will be no illegal services here, but we must strive to maintain the same service quality as Hong Kong City, including accommodation, catering, entertainment, sports, etc.” He emphasized: “It’s mainly about investment in equipment and facilities, as well as daily supply and demand.”
"Televisions, washing machines, cinemas, fitness equipment, sea fishing, swimming pools, basketball courts, etc., these are all suggestions they put forward."
“You did some market research, right?”
Li Huaide nodded, looked at the buildings in front of him, turned around and asked Li Xuewu: "What do you think? How about this suggestion?"
"It's good to earn money from foreigners," Li Xuewu nodded slightly and said, "If we compare the prices here with those in Hong Kong, they won't have any objections. Foreign businessmen are eager to save on the cost of the ship tickets."
"We still lack a certain foundation to run a business club like this in Tianjin. What do you think?"
"Well, whether it's seafood or land, one should remember the well-digger when drinking water—" Li Huaide nodded after hearing Li Xuewu's answer. The two of them agreed, "I think we should be more careful."
"The water in Tianjin is very deep."
"Director Li, what you are talking about is——"
Zhang Jinsong didn’t understand what they said, but he could tell there was something else going on. Did they want to seek opinions from a third party?
"Tianjin Fisheries General Company is our joint brother company." Gao Yaqin explained to him: "During this business negotiation, their Vice President Zhang was very enthusiastic and gave us a lot of support and help."
"He is a very prestigious and powerful local tyrant." Li Huaide said calmly: "In order to earn this little money, there is absolutely no need to go around him, whether you are dealing with the insiders or the outsiders."
"When acquiring these land and buildings, Vice President Zhang helped a lot, right?" He glanced at Zhuang Cangshu and said, "Contact him and see if he has any opinions or suggestions. It's a win-win cooperation."
"Yes, Director Li, I didn't think it through." Zhuang Cangshu's forehead was sweating, and he nodded and said, "I'll contact Vice President Zhang next time."
"Don't come down, just today." Li Xuewu had to take care of him. He was Jing Yunong's man. He looked at Li Huaide and the others and said, "We are not outsiders. Let's have dinner together tonight?"
