Chapter 1310 I am a serious person!
"Open a single room?" Qin Huairu looked at Li Xuewu who reappeared at the front desk with a strange look in her eyes. "How long will it take?"
"It'll be renewed every month until she moves out of here." Li Xuewu put the money on the bar naturally, "The rest can be kept in my account."
Looking at the money on the table that was enough to live for half a year, Qin Huairu nodded and helped him register. Of course, the name was Wang Yajuan.
The waitress on the night shift was Xiao Jin, so there was no need to worry about her talking nonsense, as Li Xuewu was generous enough.
He didn't do it behind anyone's back when he sent Wang Yajuan here, so he wasn't afraid of any rumors now.
It took him less than five minutes to go up and down the stairs. Qin Huairu knew his ability and knew that he couldn't accomplish anything in five minutes.
"You're leaving now?" Qin Huairu had just finished registering when she saw Li Xuewu walking out. "She..."
"If you don't leave, you can keep me for a midnight snack." Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, just treat her as an ordinary guest."
"I thought you were going to stay the night." Qin Huairu, who followed him out, teased him and then asked seriously, "Is everything okay? Why don't you use your room?"
"What's the matter? I'm a serious person." Li Xuewu smiled and walked down the stairs. He didn't answer her question, but asked her about her business, "How is the plan to open a store in the city going? Do you have any idea?"
The reason why he didn't use his own room was simple: he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
Qin Huairu also knew this, but she was just testing the relationship between him and Wang Yajuan.
That room was reserved for the group's secretary general, not Li Xuewu's personal use, so how could he use it indiscriminately?
"I'm thinking about it. I'll report to you next week." Qin Huairu pulled his arm and said, "Come up with some names for me. The names of the restaurants."
"How many more? How many do you want to open?" Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "If you take too big a step, you might get hurt easily."
"I do want to talk about it, don't I?"
There was no one around in the middle of the night, so Qin Huairu also dared to make dirty jokes.
"I discussed with Zhuzi and the others that we should open at least three stores, otherwise it would be meaningless."
"Okay, the workshop is really good at cutting materials," Li Xuewu commented jokingly, "You guys are really brave."
He looked at Qin Huairu and asked, "Tell me what kind of restaurant you want to open. I'll rack my brains to find a good name."
"It's convenient for us." Qin Huairu pointed to the guesthouses behind her, "One serves seafood, one serves Fuzhou cuisine, and one serves Sichuan cuisine. They are all our specialties."
Li Xuewu really didn't expect that this woman would be so bold after she got the fighting spirit. It really proves the saying: People die for money and birds die for food.
Lu Xun once said that the more you get married and buy a house, the busier you will be.
Sure enough, getting married and buying a house are both motivations for hard work.
"That's easy. If you sell seafood, you have to open a restaurant. You can't eat seafood without drinking wine. This is the profit point." He nodded in agreement. "We have fresh seafood ingredients and ready-made rice wine."
He pointed at the plaque of the guesthouse and said, "Let's call it [Fisherman's Pride]. Don't forget to write the words Red Star Steel Group Guesthouse below. Be careful or someone will take you in."
"The seafood restaurant is called [Yujiaao], and the Sichuan cuisine restaurant is called [Qinyuanchun], which sounds nice." Li Xuewu thought about it, smiled with satisfaction and said: "The Sichuan cuisine restaurant is called [Langtaosha]."
"Actually, it would be more appropriate to call it Man Jiang Hong, but it's not suitable." He shook his head slightly, denying the idea in his mind.
"I haven't even heard of it." Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I still have to ask you about this matter. I can't figure it out."
"If we really call the guesthouse the First Hotel and the Second Hotel, people will laugh at us to death."
"It's nothing funny. Isn't that what everyone calls her now?" Li Xuewu looked at her and reminded her, "Be careful and don't rush."
"I understand. Don't worry. I'm a very timid person." Qin Huairu assured him seriously, "I won't risk my job."
Li Xuewu looked at her and said nothing more. After getting in the car, he said to Nie Xiaoguang, whose eyes were rolling around, "Go home."
The car started and drove out of the factory again. Nie Xiaoguang glanced at the leader in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked softly, "Secretary-General, are you okay?"
"What's the matter?" Li Xuewu, who was looking at the night outside the window, turned his head and reminded him with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense about what happened tonight."
"I understand. I'm very careful with my words." Nie Xiaoguang smiled and assured, "Don't worry, I won't say a single word."
"Well, I believe you." Li Xuewu nodded, looked at his back and asked, "How are you and Han Lu doing?"
“???” Nie Xiaoguang’s mind was suddenly filled with question marks. So if I don’t talk about your business, you want to eat my melon instead?
"That's it." He hesitated for a while, looked back at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Leader, do you think all these girls are the same, liking colorful things?"
"I don't know. I haven't met many girls." Li Xuewu shook his head slightly. "You're asking the wrong person."
"Ah..." Nie Xiaoguang, who was driving, sighed, "Brother Han is right. Women's minds are like needles in the sea. It's hard to tell what they are thinking."
"There's always someone higher than you." He paused, then added, "I'm not talking about Han Lu. Her ambition is higher than the mountains."
"You got in touch with her?" Li Xuewu had long known this boy's stubbornness. "How did she respond to you?"
"I don't know how you fall in love. I can only say one word: do it." Nie Xiaoguang patted the steering wheel and introduced enthusiastically: "I waited for her to get off work, took the initiative to say hello, and introduced myself."
"What happened next?" Li Xuewu asked with great interest, "The girls in the dance troupe are very discerning. There was no conflict, right?"
"Of course not, she has high standards, and I'm not bad either!"
Nie Xiaoguang looked like a complete ruffian, very much like the silly Qiang in the movie Li Xuewu had seen before.
"I'm not stupid. If I confess right away, the chances of failure are too high. I have to get along slowly."
He introduced Li Xuewu, "I have a unique skill. Just go up to her and say hello, then introduce yourself. After that, don't care what she says, just turn around and leave. Even if she kneels down and begs you, don't look back."
"Haha, then what?" Li Xuewu asked with a chuckle: "Did she beg you?"
"Of course she didn't beg me the first time we met, after all, we weren't familiar with each other yet." Nie Xiaoguang nodded, swaying his body and saying, "But the second time we met, she definitely begged me to stay away from her."
"Don't laugh. I can tell from the looks of it that you don't have any experience in love. You don't understand that girls always speak in the opposite way."
He waved his hand seriously, looked at the road ahead and started to talk to Li Xuewu about "The Science of Love".
Li Xuewu was very touched. Finally someone understood that he was a simple, kind and loyal man.
-
"So late today?" Hearing the noise downstairs, Gu Ning got up and looked over. Seeing that it was him coming in from the hallway, he said, "Keep your voice down."
"Are the children asleep?" Li Xuewu said apologetically, "Something happened at work, so who took them back?"
"Xuecai and Yuxiu brought it back." Gu Ning went downstairs and asked, "Have you had dinner? Jingru left some for you."
"We've eaten. What time did they leave?"
Li Xuewu changed into slippers at the door, put down his handbag, walked to the stairs, and took the pajamas handed to him by Gu Ning.
Gu Ning replied softly, "After eight o'clock, she went back after helping me put the child to sleep. She wanted to stay but I didn't let her. She needed to rest."
"Well, let's take a closer look." Li Xuewu nodded, raised the pajamas in his hand and pointed to the bathroom on the first floor, "I'll take a shower first."
"Okay." Gu Ning nodded and poured him a glass of warm water in the living room, fearing that he was thirsty after socializing and drinking.
The June night is not lonely. The chirping of insects seems a bit chaotic, but the croaking of frogs in the big lake can be clearly heard.
If people from later generations who were accustomed to a quiet sleeping environment came to the present, they would probably suffer from insomnia.
There are the sounds of frogs in the distance, crickets nearby, and the flapping of wings or chirping of insects that I can't name.
The capital of this era has not completely weakened the sounds of nature. It is rare to hear the roar of cars or the noise of people strolling on the streets in the middle of the night.
Readers who live in Nanluoguxiang should have experienced this well: you can hear the clatter of tourists and the sound of motorcycles racing along the streets in the middle of the night.
There are none here, and if there were, they would have been shot long ago.
If you wander the streets late at night without a work permit or valid identification, it is guaranteed that you will not stay there for more than half an hour, or you will have to go to the police station and wait for your family to pick you up.
Li Xuewu took a shower, changed into pajamas and came out. Gu Ning was still waiting for him on the sofa, and he had something to say.
On weekdays, the couple are quite harmonious and understand each other.
Gu Ning was busy studying, so he would never do anything to disturb her. He mostly took care of the children and left the second floor to her.
Li Xuewu is busy with work and has trouble taking care of the family. Gu Ning never quarrels with him and always communicates with him in a calm manner.
Today's situation is not special. Whenever there is something going on at home, the couple will find a time when no one is around to talk.
"Are Xuecai and his wife eating here?"
Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and drank a sip of warm water. He looked at Gu Ning who was sitting on the sofa and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I left some food for them. They said they were waiting at home. We sent the kids off and went back." Gu Ning tidied the hair by her ears, looked at Li Xuewu and explained, then asked, "How did you arrange things for Jingru?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about that, too."
Li Xuewu nodded, crossed his legs and looked at the fireplace, thinking: "If you say you don't need her for the time being, I'm afraid she'll get suspicious. If you keep using her, I know you'll be worried too."
"Mom asked me about this a while ago. I thought I would wait until she was a little bit pregnant and it was not convenient for her to have the baby before discussing it with her."
"In fact, now is the most dangerous stage." Gu Ning emphasized: "This is her first child, so we should be more cautious."
"Yes, that's the truth." Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "I'm not afraid that she will feel wronged."
"After all, he has worked in our family for two years and has always been diligent and conscientious."
Li Xuewu is still soft-hearted, especially towards people around him.
"But what you said makes sense." He thought for a moment and said, "Mom told me that we can send the child to the compound. We can drop him off in the morning and pick him up in the evening. We can eat in the company cafeteria."
"I have no problem. After all, it's not far from home." Gu Ning thought for a while while holding the teacup. "You can leave early in the morning and go to mom's house to eat. Then come back after dinner in the evening."
"That doesn't mean you're left behind."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "I'll think about it again. I'll find time to talk to Jiankun about Jingru's matter and ask him to persuade her."
"As for the nanny at home, I'll look around and see if there's a suitable one, even if it's just to make breakfast and dinner for me."
"There's no need to force it. They're all the same." Gu Ning lowered his head and thought for a while, "Should I ask my mom if there's anyone suitable?"
"Don't bother mom. She's traveling thousands of miles away and still worries about us." Li Xuewu shook his head slightly. "It's not that hard to find someone who can cook and take care of the kids. The hard part is that the person has to be down-to-earth."
Being practical actually means being reliable.
Not to mention that the children at home need a reliable nanny, even if there is no trust in the people upstairs and downstairs, Li Xuewu dare not hire anyone to his house casually.
The couple sat on the sofa in a dilemma, unable to find anyone they could trust around them.
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that Li Xuewu is a cautious person. He keeps his work and life very separate and there is basically no intersection.
Gu Ning has an even more limited social circle. He only has a few people at work and doesn’t even contact his relatives at home.
The only person he could count on was Li Xuewu's mother-in-law, but he didn't want to trouble her since she was too far away.
If they needed a nanny, Li Xuewu only had to spread the word and the person who sent the nanny would kick down the door of their house.
Do you know when the custom of sending nannies to leaders' homes began?
If you really send it in, it would be like sending yourself up.
Li Xuewu would never give this opportunity to others. It was convenient for him to use Qin Jingru, but he couldn't stop her from having a baby.
Now we really have to make a choice. Qin Jingru won't be back for at least two or three years. We have to wait until her child is older.
By that time, Han Jiankun's job will be stable and his salary will be high, so he may not need her to come out to work.
So it was Qin Jingru who was unable to get over it, and Li Xuewu was mentally prepared that she would leave.
He did think about finding a suitable person from the compound or the neighbors, but then he thought better of it.
Firstly, there was no suitable one, and secondly, he didn't want to get too involved with the compound.
It didn't matter before, but now that his position is higher, more people are asking him to do things for them.
We are all neighbors. How can I refuse him in person? After all, my parents and brothers all live in the compound.
Now when he picks up Li Shu and her brother, he leaves right after dropping them off and returns right after picking them up. He rarely stays and never gives others a chance to speak.
It was precisely his behavior that expressed his rejection of personal relationships, so naturally fewer people came to him.
"I'll think about it again. If it doesn't work, I'll find two." Li Xuewu let out a long sigh. "Li Shu needs a piano teacher and her family needs a live-in nanny. It's a perfect pair."
Gu Ning looked up at him and said nothing. He always made the decisions on household matters and never made things difficult for her.
He seemed to be omnipotent and had a solution to any problem. This was the ability she envied and trusted the most.
"It's late, go to bed." Li Xuewu put down his teacup and stood up, reaching out to pull her. "Giving Li Shu and Li Ning another brother or sister, I think this problem has been solved."
Gu Ning, who was about to raise his hand to hold Li Xuewu's hand, glared at him unhappily and slapped his hand, but was caught by Li Xuewu.
"Um..." Gu Ning was held in his arms and reminded quietly: "The child is still upstairs."
"It's okay. I won't wake up for a while."
Li Xuewu sniffed the scent on Gu Ning's body and said gently, "It's rare for us to enjoy our time together, so let's do something interesting."
Gu Ning didn't believe that he could come up with anything interesting in the middle of the night. She didn't have the strength to push him away and fell into his arms.
In the living room?
This bad guy is too embarrassed to see anyone.

At the end of June, under the guidance of Li Xuewu, Propaganda Department Director Bu Qingfang presided over and coordinated the Red Star Literature and Art Publishing House to upgrade the literature and art propaganda team.
The upgraded art troupe is a deputy-department-level unit and is still affiliated with the Red Star Literature and Art Publishing House and managed by the Propaganda Department.
The full name is the East is Red Art Troupe of the Red Star Steel Group Literature and Art Publishing House, abbreviated as the East is Red Art Troupe.
Jiang Peiqun, former head of the Propaganda Section 2, was appointed as the head of the art troupe.
Zhang Li, former captain of the art and literature propaganda team and deputy chief of the Propaganda Section 1, was appointed deputy head of the art troupe and was in charge of administrative work.
Wang Yajuan, former instructor of the Art and Literature Propaganda Team and deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section 3, was appointed as deputy director of the art troupe and was in charge of the art and literature work.
He Yushui, former deputy general manager of Red Star International Hotel, serves as the political commissar of the art troupe.
The news of the establishment of the art troupe did not cause much discussion in the agency, but some people paid attention to the job change of the main person in charge.
Especially He Yushui, the vice president of Red Star International Hotel, was transferred across departments and positions, which makes people hard to guess what the purpose is.
In fact, He Yushui was also confused. Li Xuewu gave her so many big books. She had thought that she would be involved in ideological work.
But she had never thought about being transferred to the art troupe, let alone engaging in ideological guidance and educational work, which completely confused her.
She had no reason to refuse Li Xuewu's arrangement, and when organizing the conversation, she could only express some subjective enthusiasm.
There was no reaction from the art troupe. Only the management level changed, and the space for cadres was further expanded.
The work of the group should be done as usual.
Wang Yajuan was a little disappointed. She didn't expect Li Xuewu to be so straightforward. After she refused the job in the art team, even her position as instructor was replaced by deputy director.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Wang Yajuan has also made progress. She has gone from a deputy section chief to a full section chief. There is nothing to be pretentious about.
She also knew that she shouldn't be pretentious.
The literary and artistic propaganda team that He Yushui is in charge of is under the Comprehensive Management Department and is directly responsible to and reports to the Secretary-General.
She could not fail to see the purpose of this arrangement.
It’s not that Li Xuewu didn’t trust her or didn’t need her, it’s that she gave up this opportunity herself.
If Li Xuewu disliked her, there would be no deputy director to preside over the arrangements of literary and artistic work.
From the security team to the commission office, and then to the position of secretary-general, many people have felt the change in Li Xuewu's work attitude.
There is no longer the secrecy in personnel arrangements as before, and things have become more direct.
Who to hire and how to arrange them can all be coordinated and handled generously, unlike before when we had to worry about harmonious relations between departments.
Now that he is the factory leader, all departments have to work according to his instructions.
Li Xuewu attended the founding ceremony of the East is Red Art Troupe of the Literature and Art Publishing House and delivered an instructive speech.
In his speech, he pointed out the need to cultivate individual singers and writers with excellent songwriting and composing abilities.
We should actively explore the highlights in the lives and work of employees within the group and write works that are representative and positive.
In particular, the literary and artistic light cavalry, who mainly perform simple forms such as crosstalk, drums, and bamboo clapperboards, must not only hone their skills on the theater stage, but also go deep into the grassroots to serve the public.
He talked with the main responsible persons of the art troupe about the development of the band and orchestra, and asked the art troupe to attach importance to learning, actively communicate, explore and exchange, and master the world's advanced vocal performance skills.
At the end of his speech, Li Xuewu pointed out that artistic performances for publicity purposes must not lose the fun of the program itself, and must not make the audience feel bored.
The Dongfanghong Art Troupe should base itself on political needs, actively explore various forms of artistic performances, and actively develop...
After the meeting, several leaders of the art troupe saw the leaders out, and at the bottom of the stairs, everyone had a brief exchange.
Ding Zigui stood beside Li Xuewu, listening to his conversation with several responsible persons, with a smile on his face the whole time.
He fell very hard. If Li Xuewu hadn't helped him up, he would have been relegated to the side by now.
So he supported Li Xuewu's work without hesitation.
"Comrade Zhang Li is an old member of the Security Department." Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with Zhang Li, saying, "When I first arrived at the Security Department, she was the head of the militia office."
"Learning from you has helped me make progress." Zhang Li was good at talking. She held Li Xuewu's hand and said something with a double meaning.
Li Xuewu laughed and let go of her hand, saying, "I'm not worried about your awareness and management ability, but you should pay attention to methods and approaches in your work, and don't just seek perfection."
After talking about Zhang Li, Li Xuewu shook hands with Wang Yajuan again and said with a smile: "From the captain of the dance team, to the deputy captain of the propaganda team, to the position of instructor, and now the deputy head of the team."
He nodded slowly and encouraged: "After so many years of training, I believe you can achieve results and lead the team well."
Wang Yajuan didn't say much and just saluted Li Xuewu.
After Li Xuewu returned the gift, he looked at He Yushui who was standing beside him and said, "I put you in this position after careful consideration."
He Yushui was looking forward to hearing from Li Xuewu about the reason why she was transferred here.
Holding Li Xuewu's hand, she could feel its softness, powerlessness, yet tolerance.
"You come from a textile factory, and you have rich experience in grassroots management and mass work." He shook He Yushui's hand and said seriously: "If you can do a good job in service at the International Hotel, I believe you can also do a good job in the political work of the art troupe."
"Yes..." Although He Yushui still didn't understand the reason why Li Xuewu arranged her to come here, she still saluted him like Wang Yajuan.
Starting from the propaganda team, the art troupe has begun to implement formal management, and the relevant clothing and daily management are all disciplined.
Li Xuewu accepted their salute and returned the salute.
Finally, he talked for a few words with the head of the art troupe, Jiang Peiqun, and the general manager of the publishing house, Ding Zigui, then got in the car and left.
The work of the art troupe is very important, otherwise there would not be one chief and two deputies, three section chiefs and deputy section chiefs from the Propaganda Department to manage it.
During the organizational conversation, Li Xuewu had already talked to Jiang Peiqun about how he wanted to lead the art troupe and that the organization would continue to use him.
The position of director of the art troupe and vice president of the Literature and Art Publishing House was something he had to work hard to get.
The vice president of the publishing house is the carrot that Li Xuewu is dangling in front of him, and he has to work hard to get it.
The way to control subordinates is actually very simple. It is nothing more than drawing a line, setting a number, leading them in front, and chasing them from behind.
Otherwise, why do those who work say that they are like oxen and horses?
-
On the last day of June, Li Xuewu attended the signing ceremony of the shareholding agreement of the Energy Corporation in the morning and inspected the food factory in the afternoon.
The equity investment agreement was conducted in accordance with the framework agreement reached earlier, and investment negotiations were conducted with multiple capitals including Dongcheng Credit Union, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank and Red Star United Savings Bank.
The investments in technology, management, equipment, mining, etc. are basically in place, only the capital investment is left, which is also fully in place today.
The project has attracted much attention from the system. It is led by Red Star Steel Group, and in collaboration with a number of technology and mining companies, it combines bank capital to integrate mining resources and carry out high-quality development. The project has officially been launched.
Lu Qiming, deputy director of Liaodong in charge of industrial construction and development, Zhang Jianshe, deputy director of the First Ministry of Machine Building in charge of business affairs, Zheng Shusen, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Management Committee Office, and other leaders attended the signing ceremony.
Leaders of foreign companies in Beijing, such as the president of Santaya Group, the vice president of Sanhe Co., Ltd., and the general manager of Geely Star Shipping, also came to offer their congratulations.
Leaders and persons in charge from the capital system, mining system and other departments also came to express their congratulations.
Secretary General Li Xuewu performed very well in the reception work. Besides being young, he also has an amazing alcohol tolerance.
From the welcome speech to the event site, to the celebration banquet, and finally to the farewell, the beautiful words were impervious to wind and rain.
There would be no drinking contest in such an occasion, but as the host, Li Xuewu accompanied the factory leaders on a long tour. Li Huaide and others inevitably blushed, but he was the only one who was fine.
Those who had drunk with him before, or had heard of him, all smiled when they met him and did not dare to toast him excessively.
Even those who had never experienced his abilities could tell from everyone's attitude that this young group leader was not someone to be trifled with.
After so many years, Li Xuewu is no longer an unknown rookie, and his reputation in the circle is well-known.
This is really a reputation, both good and bad, it was in the past and it is now.
He can communicate with all the foreigners present in fluent foreign languages and greet all the leaders present with his rich experience and knowledge. Tell me, is he awesome now?
If you want to know anything about the business and work of Red Star Factory, there will be no problem in consulting him.
As the Secretary-General, he has to coordinate and handle a lot of business work, and he pays attention to almost all projects.
It would be embarrassing to ask about specific parameters, but when it comes to discussing projects, he can definitely take care of everyone.
It is not difficult to see from the attitude of Li Huaide and other Red Star Steel Group leaders towards him at the scene that he is the absolute powerful figure in Red Star Factory.
"Li, do you have time to go up and do it?"
Catherine, the general manager of Geely Star Shipping, also came to the capital from Yingcheng. It seemed that the team left to her by her father had taken over completely.
The two of them had a brief exchange at the banquet just now, and Li Xuewu was busy entertaining other people.
By now the banquet was over and Li Xuewu was seeing off some important guests. In the lobby of the International Hotel, she, with a blushing face, asked him to come up and do it.
What? I'm a serious person!
Li Xuewu looked at the sky outside the hall window. It was broad daylight, and the world was clear. How could he think about that kind of thing in the daytime?
This is too bullying. Who does Catherine think he is?
"I'm busy now, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"I want to eat more tonight--" Catherine winked at him with a smile and went upstairs with her little butt wiggling.
"He's not big, but he has a big appetite."
Li Xuewu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, watched her go upstairs and leave, then turned around and continued to get busy.
Catherine asked him out not just for sexual interest. Xu Sinian from Yingcheng Shipbuilding called him and said that Geely Star Shipbuilding had new ideas and wanted to discuss a new project.
Li Xuewu knows these prodigal children of capitalists too well. How can they learn real skills without wasting money?
Their growth process is a waste, wasting the resources at their fingertips, wasting their youth and energy, and then turning back and continuing to run the family business.
You know what, after a period of wasting time, most of the heirs can show a certain business acumen and decision-making ability.
It is often these prodigal sons who support the continuation and prosperity of the family, regardless of gender.
In foreign countries, there is no such thing as passing the throne to males rather than females. Even the throne can be passed to daughters, let alone a business.
Catherine was not Andrew's only child, so the resources she could abuse and waste were limited.
Besides the fact that he had high hopes for this girl, it is hard to say that Andrew did it on purpose to arrange for her to work in the mainland.
With so many children, people become less concerned about family alliances.
If a girl can be trained, she should be used; if she cannot be used, she should be married off.
Don't say they are cruel. In fact, this principle is the same everywhere. Even rich families have their own ups and downs, and their relationships are different.
In order to perform and win the attention of her father Andrew, Catherine knows how to sacrifice and give.
On the one hand, he had to make a difference in Geely Star Shipping and take control of the development of this enterprise. On the other hand, he had to make use of the resources left by his father for communication and continuation.
An Italian girl came all the way to the mainland and had to overcome the difficult situations of language barriers and different living habits, and also had to support the heavy responsibility of running a business. And you expect her to quickly build up her interpersonal relationships?
Catherine had to admit that her abilities were limited and that she couldn't achieve this with her communication skills alone.
Because her father did not leave her many political resources, and she had no reliable support.
Just tell her that the cooperation with Red Star Steel Group is an important channel for Geely Star Shipping to gain a foothold in the mainland.
Li Xuewu, leader of Red Star Steel Group, is the important link and person in charge of the cooperation with Geely Star Shipbuilding.
Another plus is that the person in charge speaks French.
It's not surprising that Italians can speak French. Faced with such an obvious hint from her father, why would Catherine hesitate?
Be bold and just do it——
Her father is not a bad guy, and he also hopes that his daughter can make friends with Li Xuewu with her personal charm.
Catherine didn't want to waste time and energy. She was obviously working very hard and there were some things that could be discussed in bed, so why did she have to engage in hypocritical socializing?
Of course, she is not worthless, and anyone would be willing to marry her.
From the first time she saw Li Xuewu, she was no longer so resistant and resentful of her father's suggestions.
This is a pretty good oriental man. Although a little fierce, the wisdom in his eyes can impress people.
This is a Spartan man.
After the first intimate contact, the depression in her heart disappeared and she no longer wondered why her father left her brother in Hong Kong and arranged for her to come to the mainland.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
If she wants to bloom in this land, she must bravely absorb nutrients and find a big tree to shelter her from wind and rain.
So, is Li Xuewu a big tree?
“I don’t know how mineral water is made, but I know the companies in Laoshan are doing very well.”
When Li Xuewu inspected the food factory, he told the person in charge, "Don't work in isolation, and don't be complacent. Go out."
He waved his hand and said, "Our factory keeps the technology and process confidential. Other factories don't have that."
Listen, this is such an asshole.
Since the establishment of the project confidentiality system at Red Star Steel Group, all technical personnel have participated in the study of confidentiality regulations.
Some advanced technologies have been used for isolation and prevention.
But in this era, many processing techniques and production technologies are interconnected. Although not so frequent, communication does exist.
Li Xuewu requires the group's technology to be kept confidential, but encourages technical personnel to learn technology from other companies. Do you think he is a bad person?
The person in charge was also full of surprise. He stared at him blankly and didn't dare to say anything.
You are the secretary general already, why do you still look like a bandit?
Especially when he was talking, the scar on his face trembled slightly, making him look even more bandit-like.
"I don't know where the local mineral water resources in Beijing are. Please ask the professors and experts from the School of Geology to participate in the investigation."
Li Xuewu gave instructions and requirements at the project work meeting, "Don't sit in the office and wait. Excellent resources will not come if you sit and wait. If you sit here, you will only wait for me to scold you."
"It's not just the water resources in Beijing, we can also look to the border areas, Liaodong, and Jicheng."
He knocked on the table and arranged it carefully: "The food processing plant is located in the capital, but the water processing plant does not necessarily have to be in the capital."
"From what I've learned, it's easier to make water than to can food."
"Hehehe——" A burst of laughter was heard in the conference hall.
This is indeed a joke. Who dares to say that making canned food is harder than making water?
But after the laughter, Li Xuewu's words reached their ears, "The profit of canned food is definitely not as good as that of water. Do you believe it?"
Li Xuewu put his palm on the table and said to the leaders of the food industry, "If you say that I priced the mineral water too high and it can't be sold at all, what's the point of high profits?"
"You are wrong. You are in the food industry, an industry that challenges consumers' taste buds." He emphasized seriously: "You must have brand awareness and make consumers trust your brand, not those weird snacks that cannot be seen in the packaging."
"I won't go into detail here about how to refine the market. It's all in the planning document I gave you."
Li Xuewu mentioned several names at the meeting and asked the responsible persons whether they had studied the plan carefully.
Fortunately, this was his project and no one dared to ignore it.
At the meeting, several responsible persons, encouraged by him, asked questions and key points that they did not understand in the plan.
Li Xuewu patiently answered questions and gave introductions, especially on how price attention could be transformed into brand style.
Making high-end water does not mean that Hongxing Factory has to raise its sights and ignore consumer needs.
In addition to making mineral water and segmenting the market, Li Xuewu also tested and tasted several beverages submitted by the laboratory at the meeting.
Some are delicious, some are just average.
"This tea drink is not good. What's the taste?" Li Xuewu pushed a tea drink in a glass bottle out. "I don't ask you to make the tea drink as fragrant as hot brewed tea, but at least the taste should be taken into consideration."
“And this packaging, it’s so ugly.”
He frowned slightly and said, "Who designed this bottle? Could it be purchased directly from the bottle factory? It's too low-end."
"It seems like I'm deliberately making things difficult for you by telling you to redesign it." Li Xuewu pointed at the table and said, "The products that customers buy are definitely not just for their practicality, they also have to have emotional value."
"If everyone values practicality, then why drink beverages? Wouldn't boiled water be more economical? Right?"
Li Xuewu put the drinks that he had tasted and thought were okay in one place and instructed the relevant persons in charge to do secondary research.
As for some drinks that even he was not used to, he simply pushed them to the middle of the table and let the person in charge taste them himself to see if they tasted good.
Just sprinkling sweetness and juice will not do the trick. If the product is not as good as the earlier soda factories, then there is really no need to do it.
After returning from the food factory, Li Xuewu reported and communicated with Cheng Kaiyuan and Li Huaide respectively.
He firmly believes that beverages are definitely a good project. Now the market is so simple that there is only orange soda, so how can it not be a good project?
But working from the bottom up is different from working from the top down, his ideas and will cannot be fully transformed into products.
This may be the helplessness of being a leader. He can only coordinate and guide little by little. He can't just call his subordinates idiots.
Swearing is out of the question. Li Xuewu wants to maintain his image as a modest gentleman. Swearing and losing temper will not solve any problems, but will instead cause dissatisfaction and hostility from those below him.
Speaking of modest gentlemen, Li Xuewu received this evaluation when he invited Catherine to dinner.
Catherine looked at him with an obsessive gaze and praised his excellence, which made Li Xuewu almost believe it.
If you really believe her words, then what about the mischievousness and troublemaker she was over the past decade?
No matter how modest a gentleman is, he cannot impress a girl without real strength.
After dinner, at Catherine's invitation, Li Xuewu went upstairs to do it.
As you can see, twice.
Catherine was not as impatient as she appeared. She was resistant to being thrown down and beaten, and raised her hands in surrender after two rounds.
Li Xuewu had eaten Western food before, so he knew when to stop.
We are here to discuss business today, so please don't drink too much.
Don't ask what cup it is, B+——
PS: Phew~ I finally caught up with the progress.
