Chapter 1311 This kid has no good intentions
"Why do I feel that the red wine provided by the hotel has a strange taste?"
Catherine was wearing only a white bath towel, standing in front of the window, looking at the night sky of the capital, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, frowning and tasting it, then shook her head slightly and said, "Something is not right."
"Did the protein we just ate smell bad?" Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "This is the Lafite we... airlifted in."
I almost told the truth. This year, Wufeng Winery trial-produced a batch of red wine, and the raw materials were grapes produced in the border areas.
Don't argue, Li Xuewu knows that there is a difference between grapes used to make wine and normal table grapes.
40 degrees north latitude is the golden growing zone for wine grapes. Yantai, the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, Huailai and other places are all excellent grape producing areas.
However, you have all heard of the poem about the fine grape wine in the luminous cup. We have a history of winemaking for more than 2000 years.
In the third year of the Jianyuan period of the Western Han Dynasty (138 BC), Zhang Qian saw local residents making wine with grapes in the Western Regions and brought this technology back to the Central Plains.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the grape planting area expanded from the initial 4000 acres to more than 10 acres, and special wine-making bases were established in Longyou and other places.
Of course, some people would say that the winemaking technology in ancient times was not well developed, and the taste and mellowness must be different from now.
Yes, that’s for sure. Li Xuewu has never tasted wine from the Tang Dynasty and doesn’t know what it tastes like, so he won’t take it too seriously.
But he has drunk domestic wine.
The domestic products mentioned here are the products made in New China.
To give just one example, the wine of Shandong Province has a century-old history passed down in later generations.
Since its birth in 1912, Qindao Wine has successfully produced China's first bottle of grand champagne, the first bottle of whiskey and the first bottle of brandy.
Let me tell you about an economic situation that is easily overlooked. In this era, Shandong Province not only exports mineral water, but also various types of white wine and red wine.
A truly economically powerful province.
You think that European winemaking has a cultural heritage, but in fact, many of the red wines sold in supermarkets in America, Italy, and Hong Kong are produced in the mainland.
Don’t ask whether it is cheap or not, just ask whether it can be sold and whether foreigners drink it.
The pretentious scenes in the movies, like opening a bottle of 82 Lafite or Romanee-Conti, just take a look and that's it.
Ordinary people's consumption will always be the mainstream of the market. Even in developed areas, ordinary people still buy their wine from supermarkets.
Auctions? Wineries? How many?
After Wufeng Winery trial-produced the five-star Moutai liquor, its research and development focus was placed on wine. Everyone knows that there is a lot of money to be made in export trade.
The attitude is serious and the skills are learned openly and secretly.
The Red Star Factory approved special funds to send technicians and engineers to the Qindao Winery, and the only thing missing was they getting a food allowance to start working there.
At the beginning, Qindao Winery naturally welcomed the inspection visit from its sister unit. It took the inspectors from Red Star Factory for a tour and introduced the relevant wines and technologies.
We have held a lot of symposiums and seminars, and people think that's enough.
Take a walk, have a look, and chat. You can go home and work on your own. You can't just think about doing nothing, right?
Hey! They actually guessed it right!
The Secretary-General specifically instructed that as long as the other side did not chase them away with guns, they would stay there and learn the skills well.
I really didn't expect that Qindao Winery would warmly welcome a scabby guy who refused to leave after seeing and drinking.
A week, two weeks...a month passed, and these mixed-race people were in the workshop every day, working more seriously than their engineers.
Who can bear this?
Indifference, cold reception, cold looks, and sarcastic remarks came one after another. Although these guys from the Red Star Factory were embarrassed, they just refused to leave.
Qindao Winery was really at a loss; they couldn't bring themselves to draw their guns and chase these people away.
Li Xuewu knows how to behave himself, and the cadres under his orders know how to do their jobs. While his engineers are busy stealing skills, he is giving gifts and building relationships in each department.
Not to mention anything else, the External Affairs Office has a sum of money every year to customize corporate culture gifts, such as pens, leather notebooks, badges, crafts, art works, etc., which are not expensive and have beautiful styles.
In order to enable the technical personnel to learn real skills, the team leaders were replaced three times, and all of them were drunk.
One after another, they faced challenges head-on and finally mastered the technology.
The Qindao Winery is also afraid of the tenacity of the people at the Red Star Factory. If they don't teach them some skills, these people will make the factory a mess and they will have no chance of working there.
Li Xuewu was very negative and Qindao Winery had some opinions. He told the cadres leading the team that they should exchange technology for technology.
The team leader thought about exchanging the Red Star Factory's steel rolling technology for other people's wine-making technology, but he didn't dare to say it for his own safety.
If you say it, the other person will be mad to death.
It's fine that you, a steelmaker, are not doing your job and are brewing wine, but you also want me, a brewer, to follow you and roll steel?
Don’t blame Li Xuewu for being shameless. Wufenghang can provide advanced winemaking technology and equipment from abroad.
However, we need to adapt to local conditions. This is the inland area and we need to fully consider the actual situation here.
Li Xuewu didn't understand climate, technology, temperature difference, water quality, etc., but he could understand the complexity of this job.
So why choose Qindao Winery to learn from?
He has been the signature dish of the family for a hundred years.
In the 1898th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in AD, Germany invaded Jiaozhou Bay, and Qindao was opened up as a commercial port, attracting a large influx of soldiers and foreign businessmen.
At that time, the brewing industry in Qindao area mainly adopted traditional folk methods to make "Shaojiu" with sorghum and other raw materials.
However, these "shochu" do not conform to the drinking habits of foreigners.
In order to meet their needs, foreign businessmen began to import "foreign liquor" from abroad. Some of these foreign liquors were bottled, and some were shipped in oak barrels as raw juice, and then blended in Qindao.
Over time, a large number of barrels and bottles accumulated here.
In 1912, a German grocer opened a small shop at No. Hunan Road.
During the grape harvest season, he bought some fresh grapes from local vendors.
After the wine is crushed, he uses his own old oak barrels for fermentation and blending, and finally bottles and sells the resulting wine.
This homemade wine is very popular among customers.
However, with the outbreak of World War I, shipping by sea became difficult and to meet this challenge he decided to expand his operation by adding a few more barrels, although the maximum capacity of these barrels was only 600 liters.
This small shop thus became the first wine workshop in Qindao area.
A few years later, Clark, the owner of the German firm Fuchang Trading Company at No. 1000 Hunan Road, invested in and acquired the shop and added more than ten wine barrels with a capacity of liters.
In 1930, in order to further expand its business and raise funds, Fook Cheong & Co. decided to sell the winery to the German firm Melchers & Co. for taels of silver.
The foreign company named the brewery "Meikou Brewery" and appointed Dr. Luo Dewei, a chemistry doctor who ran the Laoshan Soda Factory, as the factory director.
Melchers & Co. invested a large amount of money to purchase five 4000-liter oak barrels and equipped them with simple equipment such as refrigerators and wooden cage grape presses.
With the outbreak of World War II, importing foreign wine became difficult, and the Meiko Brewery began to actively expand production.
They made more than a dozen 2000-liter barrels, bringing the total number of oak barrels to 158, and the storage capacity of grape juice increased to 10 liters.
In addition, a hydraulic grape press, filter, windmill and other equipment were added.
The products of Meiko Brewery are not only sold in many bars and shops in the city, but also have agency stores in Shanghai, Tianjin and Bangkok in Southeast Asia, achieving large-scale export.
In the spring of 1954, Mr. Zhou entertained foreign guests at a press conference at the Geneva Conference with champagne produced by Qindao Winery, winning wide praise from those present.
In 1963, Qindao White Wine stood out at the Second National Wine Evaluation Conference, won the honor of being one of the most famous wines in the country, and became the winner of China's first white wine gold medal.
With such a brilliant record, you can imagine how jealous Li Xuewu must have been. Ten years later, the country began to develop the wine industry, but the Qindao Winery failed to seize the opportunity and went bankrupt twenty years later.
Merchants of later generations touted and pursued European wines, but in fact, when it comes to wine culture and wine technology, China is not inferior at all.
Li Xuewu's idea is very simple. You do your thing and I learn mine. When you can't do it anymore, I will learn from the authentic old brand.
Just like the acquisition of Baicaotang Pharmaceutical by Red Star Steel Group some time ago, if you don’t check the information in the future, who would know that Baicaotang has already changed its owner?
The Red Star brand will gradually rise and become a symbol of the group, and also a core of the product brand matrix.
Red Star Steel Group now has multiple sub-brands, such as the Baicaotang Pharmaceutical just mentioned, the liquor brand Tianxian Moutai (also known as Five-Star Moutai), the soft drink brand Little Penguin, and the electrical appliance brands Yazhi and Jiayue.
These trademarks have one to five five-pointed stars in the implicit position, representing the brand level of the Red Star Steel Group.
The brand of Tianxian Moutai is unique to Red Star Steel Group, so some people also call Tianxian Moutai Five-Star Moutai.
The trademark of Yazhi, an electrical appliance brand that cooperates with Sanhe Corporation, has only one five-pointed star, which represents the wider scope of cooperation of the brand.
Regarding wine, Li Xuewu provided the winery with two development ideas. When there was no confidence in the quality of the wine in the early stage, they should put their own label on it.
If the market response is good, then we can put our own brand on it. After all, we are doing export trade and the market rules are not strong at this time.
What Catherine drank was most likely the private label wine provided by Wufeng Winery. After all, it was free wine provided in the hotel's high-end rooms.
It's fine for leisure and bathing, and it definitely tastes like red wine. As for the taste, that's it.
It’s hard to say. He seldom drinks, but he has experienced Chantal’s “sweet words and sharp tongue”.
-
What project did Catherine discuss with Li Xuewu?
Most people would never imagine how bold and presumptuous this girl could be.
"You mean, the Bohai Bay Economic Zone?" Li Xuewu looked at her with suspicion, his tone full of surprise and strangeness, "Doing the import and export shipping commercial agency business [Note 1]?"
Seeing Catherine turning around, he shook his head helplessly and amusedly, wondering why the coachman always encountered such people and things.
He is the mastermind behind the largest "Bohai Bay Economic Zone" in Northeast Asia, but in the end he always meets this kind of funny traitor.
It's fine that my second uncle's eldest sister and brother-in-law are obsessed with money, but why is it that a rich girl like Catherine is also thinking about making quick money?
“You think this project is not feasible?”
Catherine walked over barefoot on the wool carpet, looked at Li Xuewu sitting on the bed stool, raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you tell me why?"
"Well, it's really hard to explain right away." Li Xuewu raised his hand and patted the seat beside him, motioning her to sit down and talk slowly.
Catherine was very curious. She raised her hand and placed the wine glass on the small table next to the bed. Then she untied the belt of Li Xuewu's pajamas, picked up the "toothbrush" and started brushing her teeth.
"Ahem - now can you tell me why?"
She held the toothbrush and looked up at Li Xuewu, seeming to have a special liking for this plan and project.
Li Xuewu looked down at her helplessly and asked, "You must have done some research on the economic situation in Northeast Asia, right?"
Catherine was not in a position to speak, so she just nodded, indicating that she did not come up with this idea on a whim, but was suddenly possessed by great intelligence.
"Well, since you have already done the relevant research, it will be much easier for me to explain."
Li Xuewu propped his elbows on the bed, lying on his back and saying, "If you focus on the maritime trade in Northeast Asia, you can't avoid Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Mao."
"Right now, Japan has the best economic development, so let's talk about this country first, hiss——"
He sensed Catherine's agreement, and continued, "It must be said that Japan's import and export trade situation is very strong and optimistic at this stage."
"With the market highly dependent on America, the export industry has developed rapidly and the export volume has increased year by year."
Li Xuewu planned the Coachman Plan, so how could he not study the economic, cultural and policy situations of several countries in Northeast Asia?
He was not kidding. The Japanese economy was indeed showing a positive trend at that time, with manufactured goods exports reaching US$1707.8 billion, exceeding America's US$1453 billion.
In other words, according to the data, Japan can make a net profit of more than 20 billion US dollars every year from trade with America.
You have to know that the US dollar is very strong at this time.
In addition, Japan's annual export growth rate reached 16.8%, more than twice the growth rate of world trade during the same period.
At the same time, the types of Japanese export products and target markets are also expanding.
In the early 60s, Japan's exports consisted mainly of textiles and steel, just like the interior of the country today.
However, with the development of the economy, export products have gradually shifted to household appliances such as automobiles, televisions, and semiconductor radios.
This transformation not only improved the technological content and market competitiveness of Japanese products, but also enabled them to occupy an important position in the global market.
Li Xuewu said that he was crossing the river by feeling the stones. Now you know which stone he was feeling, right?
China's economy depends on Japan, and China has stepped on all the landmines that Japan has stepped on during its economic development.
Li Xuewu insisted on promoting the Red Star Factory to invest in the electronics industry in Gangcheng and develop the automobile and semiconductor industries, also with a competitive mentality.
With the help of traitors like Sanhe Corporation, the implementation of the "Free Trade Zone" plan was relatively smooth.
Of course, if you say that Japan's economic development is faster than that of the mainland, you have to look at their export policy support measures.
For example, by providing financial support and tax incentives, enterprises are encouraged to carry out technological innovation and expand overseas markets.
These policy measures have effectively promoted the growth of Japan's exports and enhanced its international competitiveness.
On the other hand, in the mainland, all Li Xuewu could do was to try to maneuver in the cracks and avoid being struck by lightning.
"If you want to be an import and export agent for Japan, you will face a very serious problem."
Li Xuewu looked up at her and said, "The main source of parts for Japan's electronics and semiconductor industries is still America."
"The main export destination is still America. What can you do? Don't tell me you want to engage in smuggling."
He stood up and Catherine rolled her eyes and said "slut", then Li Xuewu lay down again.
"You have to know that since 65, we have begun to make changes in accordance with the notice of the New Technology Import Group on April 4, "Report on Several Major Issues in the Work of Introducing New Technologies."
He introduced: "The report points out that in 65 we should make full use of the current relatively favorable international environment, adapt to the domestic economic situation and construction needs, and more actively carry out the work of introducing new technologies from capitalist countries."
“The focus is on equipment and technology for the metallurgical, mining, automobile, machine tool, instrumentation and electronic industries, as well as engineering machinery needed for the construction of the Third Front.”
“Among the three ways to introduce new technology (importing complete sets of equipment, importing individual equipment, and purchasing technical data), we should put more effort into exploring the latter two.”
Li Xuewu turned his palm and emphasized: "You should know that our factory has made development plans for the electronics industry and the automotive industry."
"If you want to be a commercial agent for ships in the Bohai Bay Economic Zone, your biggest competitor is Japan."
He raised his head slightly, looked at Catherine and said, "The mainland will not and cannot open up import channels for these two industrial products."
"I'm telling you clearly now that it's not feasible for a shipping agent to trade with Japan. Now let me tell you about Korea."
"South Korea is also having a hard time at this stage," Li Xuewu said calmly, "The total import and export volume and trade deficit are serious."
In the late 60s, Korea's total imports and exports were relatively low.
In 1961, South Korea's imports exceeded $3 million, while exports amounted to only $3000 million, resulting in a serious trade deficit.
What does it mean?
What this means is that in the process of international trade, South Korea suffers a net loss of 270 million US dollars every year. Note that the unit is still US dollars.
There is no need to elaborate on the costs and consequences of being dumped by foreign goods, as the conclusion has already been drawn.
At that time, South Korea's imports mainly included food, raw materials and machinery and equipment, while its exports were mainly agricultural products and a small amount of industrial products.
Does it look like the mainland at this time?
"I can tell you clearly that South Korea's economic situation is very bad at this time. The country is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the maintenance of the entire regime depends entirely on the assistance of America."
Li Xuewu said earnestly: "From independence to 61, America provided $31 billion in aid."
"Of course, we cannot deny the work and achievements that South Korea has made in improving its economy. One thing worth mentioning is the "export-led" economic development strategy that they just proposed."
"Huh..." Catherine raised her head, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you sure this economic policy can save the market?"
"Definitely. I predict that South Korea's export situation in the next few years will be mainly reflected in the implementation and effectiveness of its export-oriented economic strategy."
Li Xuewu stressed: "They are very similar to the industrial and economic development plans that our group is implementing, with the focus on developing labor-intensive industries."
"The purpose of this strategy is to promote the rapid development of the domestic economy through the international market. We are also actively engaged in export trade. Isn't it very similar?"
"Now that you put it that way—" Catherine frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be really similar."
“Do you know what their main exports are?”
Li Xuewu reached out and touched her head, motioning her to continue, while he continued to introduce her.
"Even now, South Korea's export market is mainly concentrated in the international market, and its main export products include labor-intensive products such as textiles, clothing, and footwear."
"These products have the advantages of low cost and high efficiency in production, and will definitely gain an advantage in the international market."
Li Xuewu said in a serious tone: "I dare say that in the future, South Korea will become our competitor in core industries such as shipbuilding, semiconductors and automobile manufacturing."
"So, if you want to be South Korea's shipping agent, you have to undermine their foundation in intensive industries and semiconductor industries."
"According to you," Catherine raised her head and complained with her mouth covered with toothpaste foam, "this business is completely gone?"
Japan, which has the best economic development, and South Korea, which is on the rise, both have development ideas that overlap with the layout of Red Star Steel Group.
In other words, she wants to engage in import trade, and most of her products are exported by Red Star Steel Group.
She wants to engage in export trade, and the Red Star Steel Group doesn't mind providing her with sufficient products, but they are worried that she won't be able to sell them.
Without traitors and guides like Sanhe Corporation, how could we have opened up local trade channels?
"If you don't mind, you can go to the Northern Dynasty and take a look."
Li Xuewu sat up, took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, motioning her to wipe the toothpaste foam on her mouth.
Catherine climbed up with a somewhat melancholy look on her face, sat down on the bed stool, and lay down in the same position as Li Xuewu had just done.
Now it's Li Xuewu's turn to work hard.
Li Xuewu looked at her tired appearance and joked with her: "The little flying stick is here!"
"Ah——" Catherine was so impulsive that she raised her head and let out a long sigh, as if her lungs were pierced.
Why bother going to the Northern Dynasty? That's the Russians' backyard.
Of course, Catherine did not look down on the Northern Dynasty, but she was powerless.
The current import and export form of the Northern Dynasty is mainly reflected in the trade relations with the Russians.
Now the Northern Dynasty has indeed entered what seems to be its most glorious era.
Under the diplomatic strategy of bootlicking, the Northern Dynasty turned closer to the Russians and gained huge economic benefits.
The Russians provided a large amount of economic assistance to the Northern Dynasties, including technical equipment and industrial equipment.
Although the goods exported by the Northern Dynasty were mainly primary products, whose value was far less than the industrial equipment and raw materials provided by the Russians, the Russians did not care about this trade deficit and instead continued to expand the scale of aid.
Such relaxed trade conditions and large amounts of aid enabled the Northern Dynasty's economy to develop rapidly, and its level of industrialization ranked among the highest among developing countries.
However, this relatively single trade situation is very dangerous. Once the relationship between the two sides cools, the economy will collapse.
As a result, Li Xuewu certainly knew that after entering the 70s, the Russians began to express dissatisfaction with the economic situation of the Northern Dynasty, believing that the Northern Dynasty's debt scale was constantly expanding and that it was uncooperative.
The factory project built by the Russians for the Northern Dynasty failed to be put into production as scheduled, and there is a possibility that the Northern Dynasty deliberately delayed production and transferred resources.
These factors led to a gradual reduction in Russia's economic aid to the Northern Dynasties, and the Northern Dynasties' economic growth was also affected.
This is also why Li Xuewu never relies on a single channel in presiding over the foreign trade cooperation of Red Star Steel Group.
After satisfying her oral desires and satisfying her heart, Catherine propped herself up and looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You won't let me down, right? You satisfy my needs every time I see you."
"Don't say that, I will feel pressured." Li Xuewu pushed away the gentleness pressing on his face, stood up seriously like a saint and went to the bathroom. His heart was now extremely strong.
Catherine watched the Sigma man leave, twitched the corners of her mouth in dissatisfaction, jumped off the bed and followed him.
She didn't come to see Li Xuewu just to challenge him to a fight. Although the process was very enjoyable, she still had to stick to her career.
I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River and I won't give up until I achieve my goal.
Li Xuewu looked at Catherine who followed in, smiled and shook his head, it was truly a match made in heaven.
Who has tested the strength of hotel bathroom glass?
I heard that most people can't break it.
Faced with the stubborn Catherine, Li Xuewu finally gave her a chance, which was to be a shipping agent for Yingcheng Port.
Why can’t Japan and South Korea do it, but Yingcheng Port can?
It's simple, the butt determines the head.
If Li Xuewu says that she can sit, she can do it. If he says that she can't do it, he won't let her sit even if she can. That's the reason.
As for why Catherine was chosen as the agent, the reason is very simple: she is young and ambitious.
These two conditions are indispensable.
They are young and ignorant, and even if they can be controlled, they cannot be trusted. They have too much ambition and are difficult to control, and are prone to rebel.
So when these two conditions are combined, you become a business agent who is easy to handle and hardworking.
In fact, the Santaya Group is also discussing related work. How could Li Xuewu put all his eggs in one basket?
The Santaya Group can negotiate, and so can Geelystar Shipping.
Just like you can eat rich French food like Chantal, you can also enjoy trendy Italian food like Catherine.
Li Xuewu is very professional about food and is good at cooking Western food, especially this kind of Western food that is delivered to your door.
God knows what he has paid for the development of the group and how hard he has worked.
-
On July 7, Shen Guodong officially joined the organization from the street office and received his identity card and badge.
He excitedly ran to Xiaoyan to share his joy, and then hurried to the Red Star Factory to report to Brother Wu.
But in the end he didn't call in advance and the trip was in vain.
Li Xuewu's schedule in the second half of the year is very tight, and he has a lot of work to implement and handle.
On the first day of July, the Red Star Factory also organized a group of progressive young people to join the big family of the organization.
However, since he was not responsible for organizational work, he did not participate in specific activities and ceremonies.
He accompanied Li Huaide and Jing Yunong to the Red Star United Savings Bank for work research.
By July, a number of buildings in the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone will be put into use, including the United United Savings Bank Building.
Li Huaide came here to see the delivery and use of the building, and also wanted to hear the work report of Xie Lanzhi, the president of the Savings Bank.
The weather was a bit hot, but the building was quite cool. Li Huaide put away the folding fan in his hand, pointed at the words carved in plaster on the wall and said with a smile: "So it's used here, hehe."
Xie Lanzhi glanced at Li Xuewu and saw that the secretary general was smiling without saying anything. She knew that this opportunity was left to her.
"When the building was completed, I came to see the site and stood in your position. I felt that something seemed to be missing there."
She smiled and said: "I reported my ideas to the Secretary-General, and he told me that what is lacking here is confidence and culture."
"I didn't dare to ask you for a calligraphy, so I asked the Secretary General for help. I hope you won't blame me for acting on my own."
"Hahahaha——" Li Huaide's face was full of smiles, and he didn't look angry at all, but he still pointed at her with the folding fan in his hand, glanced at Li Xuewu, and said, "You——"
The eight large characters "Star Union Integrity, Building Momentum for Win-Win" are all in red, while the background wall is all white, which is eye-catching and grand.
This is a piece of calligraphy that Li Xuewu personally discussed with Li Huaide. At the beginning, they didn't say where it would be used. When I saw it today, I was really surprised.
Okay, the flattery was done right.
Jing Yunong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She felt more and more that Li Xuewu was going to kill Old Li.
In the past, Lao Li seemed to be quite wise, but now he seems to be more amiable and calm on the surface. In fact, he is a troublemaker and knows nothing about business. If this continues, Lao Li will be in big trouble.
"Director Li, all the equipment and facilities in the office building have been installed." Xie Lanzhi personally guided and introduced, "The imported advanced computers have also been used to build the savings system."
"Okay, we must make good use of the hard-earned technology." Li Huaide nodded, and looked at the electronic equipment arranged at the front desk and the layout of the workstations according to Xie Lanzhi's introduction. "It's very reasonable."
It is indeed reasonable. The new office building of Red Star Steel Group was designed by the design team of Red Star Factory and then improved by French designers. Finally, Li Xuewu put forward additional opinions during the review process.
It can be said that details are reflected everywhere, and anyone who sees the actual effects will say that these designs are excellent.
Is Li Xuewu a design genius?
Of course not. It’s just that cattle and horses in the past were particularly familiar with their own pens. Modern designs must have summarized the experience of predecessors and must be reasonable.
Even the savings bank's savings branch building and internal layout had his opinions and requirements.
When bank tellers who were about to take up their posts came to the savings bank for pre-job training, it was the first time they saw such a large area of bulletproof glass.
That’s right, this is the largest area of bulletproof glass that the Beijing Glass Factory can produce, and the United Savings Bank purchased a lot of it.
At the head office of the United Savings Bank that Li Huaide visited during his inspection, there were 12 windows in a row, and each window was equipped with bulletproof glass.
With the current production technology, the transparent bottom of the glass is already very good, and electronic connectors are used for internal and external intercoms.
The area where bank cash tellers work is equipped with explosion-proof and anti-theft barriers, achieving the best anti-theft and robbery capabilities.
The ordinary work area is designed as a more modern reception and office space to fully meet the needs of customers who come here to handle business.
The bank employees who were undergoing training were wearing the same blue uniform, which was a combination of a skirt, short-sleeved shirt and a small vest for summer wear. They had their hair tied up and all of them looked very energetic.
Li Huaide was very satisfied with the design and planning here, and talked a lot about it while standing in the lobby of the head office.
In fact, what he didn't pay attention to was the security situation here. Li Xuewu invited a number of professional security technical personnel to participate in the overall design specifications, and the savings banks that have been built are all of unified specifications.
Security protection should not only rely on manpower, but also on complete equipment and protection devices.
In her introduction, Xie Lanzhi specifically mentioned the third batch of 19 United Savings Bank branches and savings offices that are about to be built, all of which have the same design specifications.
Among the newly built savings banks, 9 are located in Beijing.
With the establishment and development of Red Star Steel Group, the credibility of United Savings Bank has also been greatly enhanced.
The savings interest rate in this era was not very high. The current savings rate was only 2.16, and the highest one-year fixed savings rate was only 3.96, and this interest rate remained unchanged for several years.
The operation of low interest rates has reduced people's desire to deposit money in banks. The Red Star United Savings Bank does not dare to break the rules, let alone violate interest rate regulations to absorb deposits.
But how do you attract enough savings?
On the one hand, we actively publicize and guide the employees of Red Star Steel Group and joint enterprises to save here.
On the other hand, we actively carry out business cooperation and establish an economic exchange framework alliance with brother enterprises.
On this basis, Red Star United Savings Bank has actively launched loan services with employee wages as credit collateral.
Although initial loan services are only for home and car purchases, this enthusiasm has also been responded to by the market.
Xie Lanzhi mentioned in her work report that they are studying whether to expand loans to more workers.
As long as you have work credit, you can get a loan to purchase the corresponding products, not limited to the Red Star brand.
In addition, the United Savings Bank is also studying whether to provide targeted opening of housing mortgage, precious metal mortgage and other property mortgage loan businesses.
Once this type of economic operation is carried out, it will be necessary to expand more departments and train more employees.
In fact, United Savings Bank has been developing very rapidly. With excellent investment background and endorsement from Red Star Steel Group, its business volume is increasing year by year, whether it is personal savings or commercial transactions.
Rapid development will inevitably bring about certain risks and needs, and there is already a shortage of professional financial and management personnel.
Every month, the Human Resources Department organizes selection and training according to needs, and trains batches of graduates with high school education or above into professional banking technical talents and sends them to savings banks.
At the symposium, Li Huaide listened to the written report. When he asked whether the United Savings Bank had any difficulties in its work, Xie Lanzhi reported the contradiction between the shortage of employees and the increasingly accelerated development.
Li Huaide couldn't figure out what problem he could solve, so he finally looked to Li Xuewu and asked him for his advice.
As soon as Li Xuewu saw the internship team downstairs, he knew that the savings bank was about to face the problem of manpower shortage.
When Xie Lanzhi mentioned it, Li Huaide asked him for his opinion again, so he started talking.
"United Savings Bank. We are not the only one that is united." Li Xuewu tapped his notebook. "Write a letter to the Dongcheng Credit Union, asking them to coordinate the training or assign employees to work here."
"Hehehe——" A burst of laughter was heard at the symposium. This was indeed a "bold" opinion.
Xie Lanzhi has always been strong-willed. Apart from the group of outsiders who came when the bank was established, she has never raised any human resource needs to the credit union since then.
The reason is self-explanatory. The desire for control is too strong and they are unwilling to share the burden of the United Savings Bank with others.
These are problems that are out in the open, but no one dares to speak out, especially the officials of the United Savings Bank.
This shows how majestic Sister Xie is, as she has been engaged in personnel work for many years.
Li Xuewu was not shy about this and said frankly: "Why should we share the money we earn with them after working so hard? Tell them, they can't just work hard."
Everyone could tell that this was sarcasm, and everyone's eyes were more or less directed towards Xie Lanzhi.
Xie Lanzhi did not refute immediately or say something serious. Some of the words coming from Li Xuewu still saved her face.
She is serious and responsible in her work. In fact, Deputy Director Jing who is in charge of financial affairs is an even more serious person.
The two have similar temperaments and sometimes disagreements occur at work, and most of the time someone ends up being wronged.
After Li Xuewu pointed at her, he looked at Li Huaide and continued, "It seems that our group is still short of talent."
"Well, this matter really needs to be taken seriously." Li Huaide nodded and gestured to Xie Lanzhi, "Have you communicated with Deputy Director Gu? You can talk about it later. She should have quite a few quotas for college students."
"Han Xin recruited soldiers, the more the better."
Li Xuewu looked at Sister Xie and reminded her, "You still have to develop in the future, and the need for college students is necessary."
"It just so happens that now is a good time. Students from the School of Finance and Economics and the School of Accounting can be enrolled in a unified group."
He looked at Li Huaide again and asked, "I think the United Savings Bank's need for talent is not an isolated case. Should the Commission Office send a notice to the lower levels to collect some information on human resource needs?"
"Okay, let's find out the bottom line." Li Huaide nodded, looked at everyone and said, "The group's cultivation and emphasis on talent is needless to say. This year, it has invested more than 20, right?"
He glanced at Li Xuewu, and after confirming it, he continued, "You can check your pockets to see how much capital you need to run this business."
"Please ask Deputy Director Gu to solve your talent needs at once and get the job done as soon as possible, okay."
Xie Lanzhi took the lead in applauding, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall made Lao Li the focus and synonym of wisdom.
In fact, Jing Yunong took a look at Li Xuewu, who was hiding his achievements and fame, and was now really sure that this kid had no good intentions.
