Chapter 1391 Plan and act later
On February 21, Mr. Zhou announced that all of my country's domestic public debt had been repaid, and that my country had become a powerful, independent socialist country in the world without any domestic or foreign debt.
On February 22, Li Huaide announced at the eighth working meeting of the Group's Management Committee that Hongxing Steel Group had officially launched the specific implementation plan for the key phase of its "Three-Year Plan"...
Li Xuewu returned from Liaodong on what was nominally his annual leave, but as a group leader, he never had a proper vacation.
You need to attend important meetings, meet with important leaders, and coordinate important business matters.
Zhang Enyuan hasn't been around him for the past few days; every time he sees him, he's assigned a ton of tasks to run.
Not only did he need his secretary Zhang Enyuan to run errands for him, but he himself was also extremely busy, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was running himself ragged.
Even with such a busy schedule, he still has to find time to take his wife and children to visit relatives during the New Year, working day and night.
Fortunately, he only returned to Beijing for a five-day vacation. If he had taken a ten-day or half-month vacation, wouldn't he have been exhausted to death in the capital?
This five-day vacation also includes the departure and return trips; otherwise, he wouldn't be so busy.
Just as he told Gu Ning, having just started working in Liaodong, he needed to sort out the things he was doing.
When a supervisor is in charge, their responsibilities are light but their workload is heavy; when a person is in charge, their responsibilities are heavy but their workload is light.
The pros and cons are various, and it depends on the individual.
Anyway, he was a leader in charge of the group, but Li Xuewu didn't seem to have any worries or troubles.
He currently holds the leadership position, but it's just a title. The main work is handled by Bu Qingfang, unless it's an important task that requires him to assume primary responsibility.
Bu Qingfang is highly experienced, capable, cautious, and upright. Most importantly, she is clear-headed and self-aware. She understands the significance of the group's leadership and Li Xuewu's decision to appoint her as deputy leader, and she won't dwell on unnecessary things or create trouble for herself.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Xuewu came out of the conference room, she came over from the main office to greet him.
Li Xuewu was talking to Li Huaide when he saw her coming over. He nodded and then asked Li Huaide for instructions.
Li Huaide smiled and glanced at Bu Qingfang, then said to Li Xuewu, "Comrade Qingfang has been working very hard lately. You should find time to reward her. It's really not easy for her."
"Oh, finally someone's speaking up for us! You're so kind, Director!"
Seeing that he was joking, Bu Qingfang laughed and playfully gave him a thumbs up, then gestured to Li Xuewu and said with a smile, "That's why I went to see the leader."
"Hahaha--"
Li Huaide chuckled, patted Li Xuewu's arm, and then headed towards the office.
Bu Qingfang stood to the side, waiting until all the leaders in the conference room had left before looking at Li Xuewu.
"Come on, let's talk in your office."
Li Xuewu greeted all the other members of the group's leadership team who came out of the meeting room before greeting her.
He said he was going to the office to talk, but in reality, his office in the group had already been given to Bu Qingfang to use. Only the sign for the leader's office at the door had been changed, with the word "deputy" added in front of it.
Bu Qingfang originally worked in the office of the director of the management committee, but now that office has been handed over to the two deputy managers.
Li Xuewu has been away from the group office for a long time, and the group is under great pressure to build office space. In addition, the group's office building is under construction and will be able to move there next year. This office is useless if it is empty, so it is better to give it to Bu Qingfang to use.
Actually, it wouldn't be against the rules to give this office to Bu Qingfang, as the space isn't very large.
When it comes to character, who can compare to Li Xuewu? And when it comes to cunning, who can compare to the leader?
The moment Bu Qingfang sits in this office, she has already tacitly acknowledged Li Xuewu's influence and leadership.
As long as Li Xuewu remains in a leadership position, there is no possibility that Bu Qingfang will "change her ways".
Given this generosity and benevolence, even if Bu Qingfang had ulterior motives, she would never betray Li Xuewu; this is what is called an open strategy.
In contrast, Bu Qingfang accepted this care and arrangement without saying anything and moved into the office.
Not only that, but they even kept Wang Lu, Li Xuewu's former secretary. Although she was not officially assigned a secretary, they appointed Wang Lu as her clerk. How could the department still compete with them?
There have been changes in the personnel relations of the General Management Department. After Liang Zuodong, the former deputy manager of the General Management Department, was dealt with, Sun Jian, the director of the General Manager's Office, stepped forward to take up the position. At the same time, Sun Jian also served as the director of the General Manager's Office. It seems that Director Li has been given an important position.
Li Xuewu was not involved in this personnel arrangement, from recommendation to appointment; it was Bu Qingfang who made the decision.
Neither Li Huaide nor anyone else had any particular interest in Bai Changshan, another deputy director of the Comprehensive Management Department, because he worked for the Municipal Bureau of Industry.
In preparation for and construction of the New Beijing No. 1 Factory, the Hongxing Factory had an agreement with the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Industry to train a group of qualified management cadres for the factory within two years.
This isn't just one or two people, but a complete top-down management system. It's the organizational system responsible for everything from equipment relocation and installation after the completion of the New Beijing No. 1 Plant, to production management and operations.
When the day of "separation" finally arrives, the Beijing Industrial Bureau will only need to assign personnel to take over some key positions to easily support the production and operation of the new Beijing No. 1 Factory.
Bai Changshan is this type of cadre; he has long been labeled within the group and will basically never be reassigned.
These cadres mainly came from the sixteen companies acquired by the group, along with grassroots management and production workers from various workshops and departments of the steel rolling mill whose names had been prepared in advance.
Since reaching this agreement and completing the merger process of sixteen companies, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has more than doubled in size.
On the one hand, it involves coping with the group's top-down personnel reforms, expanding production capacity, and responding to personnel performance adjustments.
On the other hand, it serves as a supplement to the employee training program of the Xinjing No. 1 Factory.
According to the existing employee recruitment plan of Gangcheng Steel Rolling Mill, it is impossible to support so many original steel rolling mill employees. Of the more than 30,000 to nearly 40,000 employees, only more than 7,000 can be employed.
In other words, the steel rolling mill's personnel more than doubled two years ago to meet urgent needs and expand production capacity. But next year, it will reduce its workforce by nearly one-third to improve quality.
The process of downsizing is not only about improving product quality and worker skills, but also about increasing production efficiency and management quality, taking a solid step towards becoming a modern factory.
Workers can be called up, but they cannot be laid off.
At the recently concluded eighth meeting of the Group's Management Committee, Li Huaide specifically mentioned this year's personnel work, emphasizing the need to properly handle personnel placement and deployment.
The detailed implementation plan for the critical stage of the Three-Year Plan made clear arrangements for personnel resettlement.
Currently, only 7,000 of the nearly 40,000 steel rolling mill employees have been transferred to the steel rolling mill in Gangcheng. After more than two years of construction and planning, Xinjing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill is expected to receive 20,000 employees and relocate 3,000 local employees from Beijing.
In other words, even after completing a series of human resource integration tasks, there is still a shortage of nearly 10,000 employees.
The group will use methods such as independent selection and reasonable allocation to resettle these 10,000 people in various branch factories.
The reassignment process will involve assessments and other evaluations; those who pass will be assigned to their posts, while those who fail will be placed on standby.
Another important task for Li Xuewu upon returning to Beijing was to coordinate with the relevant responsible leaders.
On the one hand, there is the transfer and resettlement of the 7,000 employees received by the steel rolling mill in Gangcheng. After all, this relocation is not just a matter of 7,000 employees; there are always families involved, and a single oversight could discourage the workers.
On the other hand, the group's other industrial enterprises in Liaodong need to do a good job in personnel adjustment and resettlement.
The nearly 10,000 workers required by Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill need to be distributed among every enterprise and unit.
As an important industrial production base of the group, the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, which controls the vast majority of industrial enterprises, naturally took on the important task of receiving these transferred workers.
Li Xuewu and Bu Qingfang came to the office and discussed the documents one by one with their notebooks in hand.
There was no other way; he couldn't travel back and forth between the capital and Liaodong. These tasks needed someone in the capital to help him coordinate.
It's not impossible to use someone else, especially since many of these tasks are outside Bu Qingfang's job responsibilities.
But given his character of not wanting to give anyone any leverage, how could he possibly allow other leaders in charge to interfere with his Liaodong affairs?
Therefore, Bu Qingfang, who seemed to be doing a lot of extra work, would complain to Li Huaide, but in reality, she was willing to help Li Xuewu and do these trivial tasks.
why?
Everyone has their own ambitions, and she didn't want to be stuck in the position of deputy leader for the rest of her life. She would have to deal with these tasks sooner or later, so she might as well train herself now and also gain favor from Li Xuewu.
Countless people would fight to owe Li Xuewu a favor, and even real money couldn't buy it. It's just a joke, but she won't complain or refuse.
In the office, every time Li Xuewu clearly explained a task, Bu Qingfang would make a note of it and call Wang Lu to arrange for a specific person to handle it, ensuring that each task was completed thoroughly.
So what you can see in the third-floor corridor is the leader sitting in his office making plans, the deputy leader directing the troops in the middle, and Wang Lu running around busily.
After the two of them finished handing over their work in the office, they were both so tired that their throats were itchy and burning, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally.
"If this happens every month, my hair will be completely white in less than two years."
This time, Bu Qingfang wasn't faking it; she genuinely felt emotional and spoke frankly to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu, holding his teacup, smiled wryly and said to her, "If you grow gray hair early, wouldn't I have to dedicate myself to this cause until my dying breath?"
“Please don’t—” Bu Qingfang said with a laugh, “Everyone says that health is the foundation of everything.”
"Sigh, we still don't have enough manpower. It's exhausting."
Li Xuewu took a sip of warm tea, put down the teacup and murmured a few words, then, as if remembering something, looked at Bu Qingfang and said, "You've reminded me of something."
"Don't tell me you've forgotten something, like your job?"
Bu Qingfang said with a wry smile, "I'm fine, but I'm afraid Wang Lu is going to cry from exhaustion."
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "You still find it easy to use a lazy girl like her."
“If you can use it, why can’t I?” Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, not caring about his humility and defense. Everyone knew about the kinship between Wang Lu and Li Xuewu.
Besides, even if we disregard Li Xuewu's feelings, we still have to consider the feelings of Xia Zhongquan, the group's chief engineer.
Li Xuewu could say that Wang Lu was a lazy girl, and that he could treat her like a child, but who in the group could ignore Wang Lu's background and connections?
Even the office was given to her, and Bu Qingfang didn't mind using Li Xuewu's name as a shield to intimidate others.
Li Xuewu didn't care about this; it was a win-win situation because Li Xuewu also needed someone in the group to cheer him on and maintain his previous authority and influence.
She needs Li Xuewu's influence to lay the foundation for her current work and future plans.
Bu Qingfang had thought about it long ago. She could serve as Li Xuewu's deputy and seek a deputy leadership position, contributing her time and effort. Why couldn't she follow Li Xuewu and seek a position in Liaodong?
Li Xuewu wants to make great strides in Liaodong, but he can't let go of the group's interests. He's currently juggling internal and external affairs, but his abilities are insufficient, so he needs someone to help him maintain balance.
But this situation cannot last. He will come back sooner or later. Then, will Liaodong not need anyone to take over?
Although she was in the capital and didn't have the same advantages as the cadres in Liaodong who were closer to the capital, she still had her own strengths.
At least during Li Xuewu's term, there is ample time to build the group's network of relationships. During this period, she must actively cooperate with Li Xuewu's work in Beijing.
Only by making a contribution can one share the cake.
When Li Xuewu returns to Beijing, someone must take over in Liaodong. Even if she can't get the position of leader of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, she can still get a deputy director position in a unit by being demoted. She thinks Xu Sinian's Yingcheng Shipbuilding is very good.
Of course, she had considered the position of leader of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, but she was aware of her limitations.
Although this era emphasizes that women can hold up half the sky, there are almost no women in important positions.
Therefore, she speculated that if Xu Sinian actively considered Li Xuewu's proposal during the three-year term and achieved enough results, he would have the opportunity to take up the mantle.
After all, in terms of seniority, Xu Sinian is no less qualified than her, especially in terms of local work experience, which is even stronger than hers.
Since we can't get a top position in Liaodong's industry, let's be realistic and aim for the upgraded Yingcheng Shipbuilding.
However, Li Xuewu was not optimistic about her going to Yingcheng Shipyard. He was well aware of how difficult things had been for Xu Sinian in recent years.
Some might ask, what troubles does Lao Xu have in Yingcheng? He gets whatever he wants.
Anyone who has actually been in charge of acquiring or merging companies knows the ins and outs of this business. Regardless of the various factions and relationships involved, being in charge who has to be both the referee and the player is in a very difficult position.
In other words, the group has always invested heavily in and managed Yingcheng Shipbuilding, continuously deploying technical and management resources, as well as workers, to dilute the original personnel structure.
Even so, according to Xu Sinian, there are quite a few cliques within Yingcheng Shipbuilding. He has spent a significant amount of his energy on internal coordination in recent years.
Li Xuewu wouldn't dare say he could do better than Xu Sinian in this position. Both of them were well aware that they were too far from the ground to use force. Saying that softness can overcome hardness might seem like child's play, but it was the truth.
You have to coax, you have to hit, and you have to play with.
Even Li Xuewu had to employ a policy of appeasement when he went to Liaodong, let alone Xu Sinian, who was so busy that he almost had a fire at home.
Even a shrewd person like Xu Sinian was overwhelmed by the situation, and Bu Qingfang, who had no experience in grassroots management, couldn't possibly understand the intricacies of the matter. In any case, he didn't approve of it.
He could guess something from Bu Qingfang's concern for Yingcheng's ships, but he didn't give a reply.
They're all adults; no reply is a reply in itself. Li Xuewu's attitude was quite clear.
"Tell me about my situation first," Li Xuewu said, crossing his right leg and leaning slightly against the sofa armrest. "The situation in Liaodong is more complicated, and I need help."
"What kind of helper?" Bu Qingfang raised her eyes and asked, "Someone transferred from the General Management Department?"
“It’s not that we lack secretaries.” Li Xuewu waved his hand and said seriously, “We lack people who want to do things, are capable of doing things, and dare to do things, and who have experience in a certain field.”
"Oh, you want some college students?"
Bu Qingfang understood; Li Xuewu meant that he needed some young people to break the ice.
The desire to do things, the ability to do things, and the courage to do things—these three qualities clearly indicate that the person has only recently graduated and started working. They haven't lost their ideals and beliefs about their career, and their youthful passion and impulsiveness haven't been completely worn down.
I can't say any more, or some people will cry.
To put it bluntly, Li Xuewu encountered some deep-rooted problems in Liaodong and needed someone to help him fight on the front lines.
These young people are energetic, principled, and driven. They dare to fight and are not afraid of anyone. What great work!
Li Xuewu was not afraid of these people causing him trouble. As long as he stood behind them holding the reins and whip, the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group could truly get the cart running.
Of course, for these young people, going to Liaodong for training is not a bad thing. Being able to train under Li Xuewu will broaden their career path.
For Li Xuewu, the process of industrial management is actually the advancement and deepening of personnel reform.
It seems Li Xuewu is about to start his first major campaign in Liaodong, but it remains to be seen who will suffer the consequences.
Anyway, the young people that Li Xuewu wants will gradually get involved in various aspects of work in Liaodong, and then use a certain fulcrum to leverage the entire management system of Liaodong.
These young people will gradually integrate into the industrial management system of Liaodong and become key figures in it.
To put it bluntly, Li Xuewu wanted to replace the disobedient old stubbornness with a young person who was a blank slate.
In Bu Qingfang's view, he was going to build his own imperial guard, which was also laying the foundation for further progress in the future.
She could think of going to Yingcheng Shipbuilding, but Li Xuewu never thought about what he would do after returning to the group.
How could that be? Anyone familiar with Li Xuewu knows that leaders always plan ten steps ahead before taking any action.
The sheer number of contingency plans in his office safe speaks volumes.
Li Xuewu needed to employ people, and he was planning to establish a presence in Liaodong, creating another system to cultivate cadres following those in the Security Department.
When Li Xuewu returns to Beijing in the future, he will have at least three factions at his disposal: the security faction, the secretarial faction, and the Liaodong faction.
Whether other cadres from different systems will gravitate towards him during this process is unclear; perhaps only when he becomes the head of the group will it become clear.
What should we see clearly? We should see clearly who our own people are.
“University students are welcome, as are those with special talents.” Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, “Right now I need people who are familiar with foreign trade, industrial management, engineering technology, electromechanical technology and other related fields.”
He sat up straight, nodded, and said, "It would be best if we could find a few college students who have completed about two years of internships. For now, we'll need one in each field, and we'll take it slowly."
“I can’t make you come quickly even if you want to—” Bu Qingfang said with a wry smile, “You’ve really put me in a difficult position. This is a job that will offend people.”
College students who have completed about two years of internships are treated like treasures and pampered in every department.
Li Xuewu, on the other hand, is even asking for one person per field for the time being, which means he really intends to build his own team.
It makes sense when you think about it. Back in my previous job, under Director Li's watchful eye, I couldn't really act too recklessly.
But things are different now. Li Xuewu has this kind of work need, so he can openly and legitimately support his team.
In this process, his influence will spread to the entire Liaodong administration system and gradually become deeply entrenched.
Did Li Huaide not know? He knew perfectly well, but he was powerless to do anything about it; that's the game of power.
Li Huaide is the main person in charge of the group, but his influence cannot completely penetrate every corner of the group, and the higher-ups would not allow this to happen.
Therefore, to abide by the rules of the game, he must relinquish some power and give room for his subordinates to act.
Li Xuewu had a good grasp of Lao Li's psychological bottom line, which is why he dared to frankly tell her about his plan.
Bu Qingfang had no objection to this task, because Li Xuewu trusted her so much and was giving her an opportunity.
To be honest, working in the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group Office is actually a good job.
In a large group like this, it takes a lot of time and achievements to get ahead, but things are different in Liaodong.
There's been talk of a shortage of college graduates these past few years, but that's relative. We bring in hundreds every year, but they're scattered across various organizations – isn't that a talent shortage? We need to look at it holistically.
It's two different things for young people to make progress early or late. There are plenty of opportunities and jobs available in Liaodong.
Li Xuewu will need to intern for about two years, which means he will have gained a certain understanding of the work, acquired certain work experience, and developed a certain career plan and work belief.
We don't want freshmen, because they are too idealistic and reckless, and they don't know how to cherish opportunities.
Following Li Xuewu's requirements, suitable people were selected and interviewed one by one, and it was almost impossible for any to refuse.
Although doing this would offend people, was Bu Qingfang afraid of that? Complaining to Li Xuewu was to curry favor, but as long as she accepted the task, she wasn't afraid of those leaders showing their teeth.
Even the fiercest dog can't compare to a smiling tiger.
Li Xuewu then told her a few more requirements, and seeing that she understood, he nodded and said, "Go on with your business."
He stated bluntly, "Yingcheng Port Area will definitely be a key project for the group in the future. It will take more than two years to complete, so you can start preparing in that direction."
"Yingcheng Port Area?" Bu Qingfang was genuinely surprised, her expression seemingly sincere. "Director Xu isn't..."
“It’s impossible for him. I’ve already talked to him.”
Li Xuewu picked up his teacup, glanced at her, and said calmly, "Yingcheng Shipbuilding is also very important for the future. He can't handle it all by himself, so he won't take on this responsibility anymore."
"Well—" Bu Qingfang frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but held back.
Li Xuewu understood, but simply lowered his eyes and drank his tea without responding to her words. Instead, he said, "I'm just giving you a suggestion; how things develop is up to you."
"Of course I need your advice."
Bu Qingfang looked at him and said seriously, "I don't know the leader's arrangements for Yingcheng Port Area."
"You don't need to know that much. You just need to know that Director Li attaches great importance to Yingcheng Port Area."
Li Xuewu put down his teacup, looked at her and emphasized, "It's not just Director Li; the entire group attaches great importance to this key gateway for foreign trade."
"Yes, I understand." Bu Qingfang's furrowed brows remained, and her answer was somewhat hesitant.
Li Xuewu pursed his lips. Seeing how stubborn she was, he thought for a moment and patiently reminded her, "The entire industrial system of the Future Group in Liaodong needs to be integrated."
"Huh? It's—" Bu Qingfang's eyes widened as she asked, "The young leader of Liaodong Industrial is going to—"
"This is the direction I'm striving for."
Li Xuewu's lips curled up slightly as he said, "If Hongxing Factory is to be upgraded to Hongxing Steel Group, all its branches will have to be reshuffled sooner or later. You only have this one chance."
"What I can tell you definitively is that no matter how the industrial system in Liaodong is integrated, Yingcheng Port Area will always be under the direct jurisdiction of the group. That is absolutely true."
"I understand—" Bu Qingfang finally understood, and her eyes became much clearer.
From this perspective, Li Xuewu's suggestion that she prepare to go to Yingcheng Port District was the best option.
Being directly under the group, a key outlet for the group's foreign trade, and a crucial node controlling the operation of the entire Liaodong industrial system, one would not be weak in rank.
It is necessary to benchmark against other port management agencies; the group would never have done anything that would diminish its prestige.
Even if it's just a formality, the main responsible persons in the port area will be aligned with their peers in terms of rank, so that it's easier to discuss work.
Furthermore, a new job also has its advantages. Her departure from the position of deputy leader of the group brings certain inherent advantages, which is definitely a good thing.
"Like I said, I'll listen to you."
Bu Qingfang spoke with great conviction, but whether there was any other meaning behind her words remains unknown.
Trust in the workplace is based on mutual understanding; some things lose their power if spoken aloud.
“Okay, that’s settled then. You go ahead and get back to work.” Li Xuewu stood up and said with a smile, “I’m going to see Deputy Director Dong. Thank you for all the work just now.”
"It's not about how hard it is; it's only worth it if I can help you."
Bu Qingfang spoke very eloquently, smiling as she saw him off, adding, "Just don't forget this favor, otherwise I'll have to go and complain to Director Li."
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu chuckled and glanced back at her, saying, "Director Li is reasonable?"
-
According to the schedule, Li Xuewu was supposed to meet Dong Wenxue, so he didn't visit his home these past few days.
It's quite simple. At this point, both of their identities are somewhat sensitive, so unless it's a necessary occasion, they should try to avoid meeting each other to avoid giving others any leverage.
But if you meet in the office, no one can say anything; it's a proper working relationship, and things can be clearly explained anywhere.
When Li Xuewu met with Dong Wenxue, he came prepared with a research report on his work in Liaodong.
One of the documents has already been presented to Li Huaide, but Lao Li is still looking at it and hasn't given him a reply.
Seeing Dong Wenxue was also related to this research report, since it was a summary of Dong Wenxue's work in Liaodong from his perspective. This summary had both good and bad points, and it had to be clearly analyzed; otherwise, if he returned to Liaodong and started making adjustments and doing work based on this research report, it would disappoint his teacher.
No matter how much Dong Wenxue supports his work, he cannot avoid the entanglements of human nature; after all, things are done by people.
When Li Xuewu wants to get things done, he will inevitably have to negate some of his policies and work. Won't he be unhappy about that?
"Your abilities and vision have always been trusted by Director Li and me." Dong Wenxue carefully flipped through the report in his hand, nodded slightly and said, "No one is perfect, and I am not a perfectionist, much less a nitpicker."
He looked up at Li Xuewu sitting opposite him and said, "You don't need to worry about my feelings. I was mentally prepared for this the day I left Liaodong."
Seeing that Li Xuewu was about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "The student surpasses the teacher. I am very happy that you can point out my faults and correct them."
Dong Wenxue smiled and said, "I never thought, nor did I believe, that you would follow Xiao Gui Cao's example."
"Actually, I'd rather have it easier," Li Xuewu said with a smile, quite frankly. "It's just not my choice."
“Of course I understand you.” Dong Wenxue first put down the report in his hand, then crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen and said, “Young people always think about making achievements and realizing their ambitions, which is a good thing. It’s absurd to wait until you are seventy or eighty years old to think about striving and starting a business.”
"I'm telling you, you should listen to what Director Li said more often." He nodded slowly and said, "Put down your burdens, unleash your potential, and go all out. We all support you."
As Li Xuewu's teacher, he certainly had this intention, but Li Xuewu could not trust Li Huaide.
At least we can't trust Li Huaide the same way we trust Dong Wenxue. Don't be fooled by what Dong Wenxue says; does he not know what Li Xuewu is thinking? He knows perfectly well.
He said this to ease the relationship between Li Xuewu and Li Huaide, which was also one of Li Huaide's purposes in transferring him back to the capital, and it was also his subjective intention.
Don't be skeptical that conversations in the office could reach Li Huaide's ears; there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
Li Xuewu's trip back to Beijing was precisely for this research report, in order to gain the support of the entire group so that he could return to Liaodong and make his mark. Dong Wenxue knew this very well.
But the reality is that Li Xuewu cannot get everyone's support; thinking that way is unrealistic.
But Li Xuewu was also trying, as long as Li Huaide agreed, plus the leaders he could confirm.
This also serves as a demonstration of his influence within the group and a test of his actual influence after leaving the group's central leadership.
The first person I need to see is Li Huaide, the second is Dong Wenxue, and the next person I need to see is Cheng Kaiyuan.
Why? Because Cheng Kaiyuan is the leader in charge of industrial work in the group and the decision-maker for all industrial enterprises in the group. Li Xuewu is now his subordinate.
Li Xuewu also held the position of director of the metallurgical plant management committee, so he was naturally considered Li Xuewu's subordinate.
However, Li Xuewu is still a leader of the group and the head of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, so the relationship between the two is quite delicate.
The key issue lies not in the leadership, but in the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, a temporary management body positioned between Cheng Kaiyuan and the group's main industrial enterprises.
From Cheng Kaiyuan's perspective, it would be better to eliminate this temporary management body so that his management will could be directly implemented and penetrate into all units.
However, the actual situation did not allow it. Due to geographical distances and varying degrees of completeness among industrial enterprises, Cheng Kaiyuan had to abandon this idea.
Just think about it, the steel rolling mill in Gangcheng isn't even finished yet, Yingcheng Shipbuilding is still expanding, and the steel machinery parts manufacturing plant is still integrating resources from Fengcheng and Gangcheng...
There was a huge mess to deal with, and without this temporary management body, Cheng Kaiyuan would have to personally go to Liaodong to oversee things.
Given Cheng Kaiyuan's current status, would he be willing?
Of course, no one wanted to go. Li Xuewu going to Liaodong was progress, Dong Wenxue coming out of Liaodong was also progress, but Cheng Kaiyuan going to Liaodong was regression, it was exile.
So Cheng Kaiyuan was in an awkward position. He couldn't go to Liaodong to oversee operations for an extended period, so he could only watch helplessly as Li Xuewu took on the role of head of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, which took away a large portion of his power and isolated him from his will and influence.
Can he target Li Xuewu?
Of course not. The two of them are now in a superior-subordinate relationship as well as a cooperative one, and some things need to be discussed.
If Li Xuewu respects him, his work in the group will be easier, and his decisions will be implemented effectively.
If Li Xuewu refuses to cooperate, then he will truly become a figurehead, only able to manage the industrial enterprises in the capital.
Old Li's arrangement for Li Xuewu to go to Liaodong was precisely to divide his responsibilities and powers.
If we really consider the consequences, the fact that he, who was in charge of industrial work, could continue to be responsible for related work after making a mistake means that the Liaodong Industrial Management Group was a form of punishment for him.
Having understood Li Huaide's meaning, he became less hostile towards Li Xuewu, especially regarding Li Xuewu's attitude.
After Li Xuewu knocked on the door and entered the room, the conversation between the two remained in a relatively relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Cheng Kaiyuan was prepared, while Li Xuewu was open and natural, truly embodying the spirit of a gentleman's friendship that is as light as water.
Furthermore, he also voted in favor of Li Xuewu going to Liaodong, so the two naturally had a very harmonious relationship.
But to say that the two have a very good relationship is an understatement, because the group's leadership is currently in a state of disarray.
As expected, after Li Xuewu went to Liaodong, and with Dong Wenxue's return to Beijing, the leadership team adopted a multilateral and multidimensional organizational ecosystem.
No one can say for sure who is absolutely close to whom, let alone who is absolutely distant from whom.
Even Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong's relationship became ambiguous because of that vote at the meeting.
Therefore, during his meeting with Cheng Kaiyuan, Li Xuewu discussed the overall industrial situation of the group in Liaodong based on the research report he had in hand, talked about some issues, and mentioned some plans.
Cheng Kaiyuan naturally understood his meaning, and after carefully listening to his report, he raised several questions.
It covers all aspects, which shows that he has put in a lot of effort and is not unfamiliar with the industry in Liaodong.
This is called give and take, mutual compromise.
Overall, Li Xuewu was satisfied with his conversation with Cheng Kaiyuan, and Cheng Kaiyuan was also very satisfied with his research and the work plan for the future, which was good enough.
For the third stop, Li Xuewu surprisingly chose Gao Yaqin instead of the more crucial Gu Weijie.
Many people are paying close attention to Li Xuewu's itinerary, hoping to discern his intentions through dynamic analysis.
In fact, no matter how Li Xuewu arranges things, there will always be unexpected moves; these people are always good at making up stories.
However, Gao Yaqin was neither surprised nor taken aback by Li Xuewu's arrival, because she had been mentally prepared for it.
Although Li Xuewu went to Liaodong, he was still the head of the group's economic management team office.
There are many working groups within the group. These are temporary organizations set up by Director Li to facilitate coordination among key personnel and supervisors to discuss work.
Although they are not officially employed, they wield real power.
In other words, as a leader, Li Xuewu held the position of deputy head in many organizations similar to economic management groups, which gave him the right to oversee these tasks.
Li Xuewu is qualified to discuss matters including economic affairs with her and to provide her with feedback and suggestions.
Li Xuewu came to her office to discuss with Gao Yaqin, who was in charge of the group's economic work, matters such as foreign trade, port construction, mine development, and technological cooperation, from the perspective of the Liaodong Industrial Management Group.
Because the Liaodong Industrial Management Group and the Group's economic work are related in the automotive, hardware and other industrial sectors.
This is a cooperative relationship between different levels, especially the scheduling relationship between Yingcheng Port Area and Tianjin Trade Management Center.
Gao Yaqin took the research report shared by Li Xuewu very seriously, but focused on the economic work section.
The two also had in-depth discussions about the relevant work, and there were occasional arguments with furrowed brows and loud voices.
However, this is all normal. Since Gao Yaqin came to work at the group, the two have had no conflicts or disputes.
Of course, there was competition last time, but it was fair competition, and she didn't resort to any underhanded tactics.
Li Xuewu specifically mentioned the Tianjin Trade Management Center's aversion to the connection with the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group.
These were also questions he brought from Liaodong, providing feedback on some contradictions encountered in practical work.
What does Gao Yaqin think?
Anyway, Li Xuewu wasn't there to cause trouble, nor was he deliberately trying to make things difficult for her or find fault with her management.
If there's something to say, just say it. Whoever is at fault, go find them and explain things clearly.
While Li Xuewu is concerned about the industrial economy of Liaodong, he is also quite interested in the establishment of food and drug sales networks, which is also a recent focus of Gao Yaqin's work.
The two also discussed related work, which made the atmosphere of the conversation much more harmonious at the end.
"do you have time at night?"
Gao Yaqin saw him to the door and said with a smile, "I'm treating you to dinner, as a welcome back and farewell dinner."
