"Thank you for your service, you've worked hard."
Before boarding the train, Li Xuewu turned around and shook hands with each of the crew members who saw him off, expressing his gratitude with a smile.
The crew members, including Zhou Xiaoling, were somewhat surprised, not expecting the secretary-general to say goodbye to them.
Actually, the flight attendants had already said a brief goodbye to the Secretary-General on the plane. They came out together to see him off as a sign of respect for their leader.
The Red Star One business jet has basically never undertaken flight missions for ordinary passengers, because it's not worth it.
Fuel costs and flight wear and tear are nothing compared to the few seats in the cabin.
It can only be used by the group's leaders when there is an emergency, or by senior leaders of other units.
There are many reasons why the Red Star 1 business jet has so many flight missions and has maintained a self-sufficient operating status to date.
First of all, the pilots of the Red Star No. 1 Flight Service Team are all from professional military units and have extensive flying experience.
Secondly, the Red Star 1 is an advanced foreign business jet, a professional aircraft with office-like facilities.
Finally, the Red Star-1 boasts service standards that are virtually unmatched or unparalleled in China to date.
All passengers aboard the Red Star No. 1 were welcomed by the entire crew.
The format was a bit exaggerated, but the effect and feedback were quite good, and the emotional value for the guests was maximized.
Imagine, the captain and chief flight attendant are standing on one side of the staircase waiting for you to board, and there's even a salute.
The captains and pilots are all young, doesn't that immediately increase your sense of security?
There are no older flight attendants, and they have been screened and trained, so has their visual appeal also improved?
What is professional? This is called professional.
Customers who have used Red Star No. 1 can hardly find any fault with it; there are even several types of water available.
The Yuquanshan mineral water produced by Hongxing Steel Group has been purchased by Friendship Store for sale.
The airplane offers products that are extremely rare in the regular market, and the service is dazzling.
Some flights were short, and some people arrived at their destination before they could even enjoy all the services provided by the flight attendants, leaving them feeling unsatisfied.
It is rare for the entire crew to escort passengers to their vehicles; such a service is usually reserved for group leaders or senior executives.
Some leaders are rather indifferent, treating them like service personnel, simply nodding and moving on.
The Secretary-General always made them feel respected whenever they rode on the Red Star No. 1.
Bu Qingfang waited until Li Xuewu and the crew politely said goodbye before getting into the car from the other side of the big red flag.
As the No. 1 train of Hongxing Steel Group departed, the crew members had different feelings: some were sentimental, some were excited, and some were lost in thought.
***
"Why was this car arranged again?"
The two met as they descended the gangway. Li Xuewu did not inquire about the car; he asked Bu Qingfang about it after the car started moving.
Bu Qingfang knew that Li Xuewu didn't want to use this car, which was consistent with his usual low-key demeanor; he wasn't a hypocrite.
“This is the car I wanted.” She turned to look at Li Xuewu and said with a smile, “I’ve never ridden in one before, so I’m taking advantage of your help this time.”
Li Xuewu turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Now that you're seated, how does it feel?"
"As for the feeling—" she drawled, feigning a thoughtful look, and after a few seconds reached out and patted Zhang Enyuan in the passenger seat, asking, "Secretary Zhang, tell me, what's it like riding in this big Hongqi?"
"It's probably not as comfortable as flying."
Zhang Enyuan is such a clever person; his answer was impeccable, cleverly subtly changing the subject.
He was the only one among Li Xuewu's secretaries who didn't require Li Xuewu to teach him, and he performed very conscientiously, earning Bu Qingfang's approval.
It could be said that as Li Xuewu's position rose higher and higher, his secretary's power also increased.
Before communicating with Li Xuewu, other department heads must first have a brief consultation with his secretary, at least to learn about Li Xuewu's schedule from him.
Furthermore, they also need to provide the secretary with the main content of the meeting and conversation so that the secretary can make arrangements and give Li Xuewu time and energy to prepare for the communication.
In terms of the connection process, unless one is a deputy factory director or the head of an important industrial enterprise, anyone else who wants to meet with Li Xuewu must go through him.
Tell me, is the position of secretary important or not? Does it have much power?
Li Xuewu kept a low profile, and his secretary Zhang Enyuan was also a cautious person. The two complemented each other well and worked together seamlessly.
"hehe--"
"why are you laughing?"
Bu Qingfang turned to look at Li Xuewu, who was chuckling, and said with a smirk, "You've found a good secretary, just like you."
"What kind of people do I belong to?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked with amusement, "Why are you speaking in code now?"
“You know what I mean.” Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, reached out and touched the armrest of the big red flag, and said, “If you ask me, this car isn’t as comfortable as your Volga, but it’s just so captivating.”
“You’re talking about a value beyond its intrinsic worth,” Li Xuewu said, leaning back in his chair. “That’s the principle behind everything.”
“What if it’s a person?” Bu Qingfang glanced at him sideways, smiling meaningfully as she asked, “If a person possesses value beyond themselves, would they also be captivating?”
“This falls under the category of literature,” Li Xuewu emphasized with a smile. “It’s generally described as personal charm.”
"You're really something!"
Bu Qingfang looked at the window with its twinkling lights and said with amusement, "They can make a reason out of anything."
“I’ve been reading a lot of reports lately, so I tend to get serious when we talk.” Li Xuewu turned to look at her and asked, “Talking like this can be a bit annoying, right?”
“I didn’t say that.” Bu Qingfang turned around, smiled at him, and reminded him, “But you have to go to a meeting later, so you’d better be careful then.”
She raised her hand and gestured, "People will think you're too serious and a bit domineering."
"Yes—that's true."
Li Xuewu nodded thoughtfully and said understandingly, "Thank you for reminding me."
"Now you know it's not easy being an outsider, right?"
Bu Qingfang said with a smile, "Whenever I hear Xu Sinian come to Beijing to complain about how difficult the work is, I remind myself that I should avoid going down there if I can avoid it."
How many more years can you keep this up?
Li Xuewu turned to look at her and asked, "Do you want to stay in this position for the rest of your life?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if I reached Director Li's position, what difference would it make?" Bu Qingfang leaned back in her chair, shook her head slightly, and said, "I'd still be fooled by others."
"Who are you talking about?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked her up and down, and asked, "Does the company have any programs planned recently?"
"Hehe, you missed a good show."
Bu Qingfang seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Xuewu raised his wrist to check the time in the dim light reflected from the headlights of the car in front, and reminded her, "You have five minutes to tell this story."
"Old Zhao laughed. I can't help but laugh whenever I think about this. It's been a week already."
Bu Qingfang composed herself slightly, but still explained with a smile: "Some people wanted to save time and didn't want to waste time on the signing process, so they forged the signatures of almost all the leaders involved, and finally reported it to Director Li."
"And then?" Li Xuewu asked, looking at him. "Did Director Li sign it?"
"It's signed, but it hasn't been issued yet."
Bu Qingfang raised her eyebrows and said, "He only realized something was wrong after he signed it. There was only your name on it, not your opinion."
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu knew what she meant by that and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His signature isn't difficult to imitate; anyone with a basic level of imitation skills can do it. What's difficult to imitate is his handwriting, which he's quite experienced in.
His signature style is almost always the same, but the handwriting when writing opinions is different.
As a precaution, he often "encrypts" his written comments.
To put it simply, people with extensive experience working in government agencies generally have this kind of habit.
You say I reviewed this report and that it has my comments and signature, but I don't recognize it.
If you insist that I wrote it, then fine, find previous documents for comparison, point out the specific "password" area, tell the other party your writing style, and it will be obvious whether it was written by you or not.
The same goes for Li Xuewu. The more text there is, the more "codes" are attached, which are generally undetectable to the average person. Who knows your writing habits for a particular character?
They can imitate his signature, but they can't imitate his handwriting. Old Li also has a habit of not signing unless he has his opinion.
The reason this document was signed was probably because I signed it in a haphazard way, only realizing later that something was wrong.
In general, the signatures of Deputy Secretary-General Bu Qingfang and Executive Deputy Secretary-General Chen Shuzhi are sufficient for approval by Lao Li in the general administration of government agencies.
However, for important business, projects, and official work, the signatures of both individuals were not sufficient, and even signing on behalf of someone else was not allowed. The documents had to be taken to Gangcheng by the confidential secretary and given to Li Xuewu for review, and then brought back to him for inspection.
Old Li insisted on seeing Li Xuewu's opinion and communicating with him over the phone before he would put pen to paper.
It wasn't that he overly relied on Li Xuewu's talent, nor that he believed Li Xuewu wouldn't make mistakes, but rather that he knew Li Xuewu's work habits.
Whoever can persevere in registering the names of the documents they have signed and the names of the persons in charge, etc., during the work coordination and communication process.
This isn't just one or two documents, nor is it from one or two years. Rather, it's from the time Li Xuewu started working, every document he handled, regardless of size, that had a signature in black and white, could be found in his notebook.
When this kind of person gets ruthless, he doesn't even trust himself. How could Old Li not trust him?
Old Li might even doubt that he himself had made a mistake, but he would never doubt that Li Xuewu could make a mistake, and he was even more convinced that Li Xuewu's diaries could not have made any mistakes.
This meticulous and verifiable work style ensured that no office worker dared to deceive Li Xuewu, let alone imitate his name to fool him.
Old Li was caught off guard, and he was both angry and resentful. Why did everyone else imitate it, but he was the only one left?
Isn't this a scam?
"What I find funny is that the person was too clever for their own good, and even knew to mix the document with the pile of documents on Liu Bin's desk, which was the part that urgently needed to be reviewed."
Bu Qingfang shook her head slightly and said, "He never thought of imitating everything. He just stuffed it into the parts that had already been reviewed and had Liu Bin distribute it."
Will it be able to be sent?
Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "I heard from Li Haiyang that Liu Bin is even more meticulous than him."
"This is true."
Bu Qingfang nodded seriously and said, "Even if the document is mixed in with the reviewed parts, Liu Bin will still find it. He has the same habit of taking notes as you."
"I learned it from Li Haiyang, right?"
Li Xuewu chuckled and turned his head away, watching the light gradually brighten outside the car window; they were almost at the factory gate.
The lights of the buildings along the way make the Liangmahe Eco-industrial Zone look more modern.
When the security guards at the factory gate saw the large red flag approaching, they promptly pressed the button to raise the horizontal bar and saluted along with the other security personnel.
Li Xuewu looked at the spirited guards and nodded slightly; these were his former soldiers.
“Li Haiyang told me that he learned many of his work methods and habits from me.”
As the car entered the factory area, Li Xuewu turned to Bu Qingfang and said, "Looks like I'll have to start collecting tuition fees."
"That's too much trouble. Why don't you just open a class at a vocational college? You'll earn more that way—"
Bu Qingfang looked at him jokingly and said, "I believe many people are willing to pay for this kind of knowledge."
"Of course, that includes me."
Just as the red flag came to a steady stop in front of the main office building, she smiled and said to Li Xuewu as she got out of the car, "Save me a front-row seat later."
"Okay, I'll let you give a presentation then—"
***
"Secretary-General, the leader is in the conference room on the third floor."
At the entrance of the main office building, Chen Shuzhi hurriedly came out of the lobby, nodded to Bu Qingfang, and then reported to Li Xuewu: "The experts are waiting in the meeting room."
"I understand." Li Xuewu nodded, and as he walked upstairs, he asked, "Has Comrade Shangguan Qi arrived?"
"Yes, she is also in the meeting room."
Chen Shuzhi was only half a step behind him and half a step ahead of Bu Qingfang. The three of them formed a front-to-back and left-to-right formation and went up to the third floor. They kept in touch with each other all the way.
It was later also called alignment granularity.
From downstairs, the four-story main office building was brightly lit, with leaders working overtime. Knowing that something big was about to happen, some department heads voluntarily stayed behind.
They also knew that, under normal circumstances, the leaders wouldn't react so quickly during a meeting; they would have to wait until the next morning to receive the notification.
But isn't the point of being on guard against special circumstances? What if tonight's meeting touches on their topics?
If they can arrive at the meeting room promptly, or just as the meeting ends, this is a plus, demonstrating their diligence and the mental preparation and basic qualities required for tough and challenging tasks.
Gaining the trust and confidence of their superiors is the primary condition for them to pursue career advancement; otherwise, how could they possibly get the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities?
Heads of various units and departments worked overtime temporarily, leaving only staff on duty in the offices; other staff members went home as usual, as they did not need to wait for feedback from the meeting.
This is one of the advantages of being an ordinary employee.
Those who were supposed to leave have left, and those who were supposed to stay have stayed. The office building is quite crowded, yet very quiet.
All eyes were on the third-floor conference room, which was waiting for someone.
"Hello, Secretary-General!"
At the end of the third-floor corridor is a small conference room, which is also where the management committee members hold meetings.
The secretary who was standing guard at the door was the first to see Secretary Li Xuewu walking with two deputy secretaries-general.
They greeted him proactively and stood on either side, making room for him to pass through.
Li Xuewu nodded slightly and stepped into the group's best conference room, which was covered with a dark red carpet.
The meeting room lights were brighter than the corridor lights, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he still tried to look at the front.
Li Huaide sat there, smiling and nodding at him, saying, "See, speak of the devil, and he appears."
"Hehehe——"
A soft laugh rang out in the conference room, and everyone's eyes followed the secretary's greeting as Li Xuewu entered the room.
“Cao Cao shouldn’t be as fast as me.” Li Xuewu walked to his seat and sat down, letting Zhang Enyuan quickly arrange his notes, documents, and thermos.
Zhang Enyuan was a very competent secretary. The two deputy secretaries-general stopped at the door of the conference room, as he followed Li Xuewu into the room.
In the short time it took Li Xuewu to exchange pleasantries with other group leaders, he had already prepared everything.
Even the two deputy secretaries-general were not qualified to enter the meeting room, so Zhang Enyuan was naturally not qualified to stay.
So after preparing what Li Xuewu needed, he quickly left the venue.
When the secretary standing guard at the door saw him come out, she gently closed the conference room door, signifying the official start of the evening's meeting.
***
"Alright, we've finally got the Secretary-General back. Let's begin tonight's meeting."
Li Huaide seemed unaffected by the fake signature controversy. He summarized everyone's jokes with Li Xuewu and gradually suppressed his smile.
He straightened his posture, gave a brief opening speech to everyone, and then raised his hand to indicate the direction of Li Xuewu, saying, "At the age of one and a half, good news comes from the steel city."
"I'm sure everyone wants to hear the Secretary-General's opinion and views on this matter, since he's here on the scene."
At this point, Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Secretary-General, my comrades and I have read the two reports you submitted."
"The reason we called you back so hastily is because everyone is paying so much attention to and concerned about the two reports."
He glanced at everyone, then looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Could you please give us a detailed account of what happened at the time, and also share your thoughts and opinions on this matter, okay?"
"Yes, Director Li, everyone."
Li Xuewu nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, then looked down at the documents he had prepared beforehand and gave a detailed report as requested by Li Huaide.
The main focus was on the production report provided by the Steelfly expert group and the feasibility study for in-depth cooperation between the two parties.
Li Xuewu's report mainly elaborated on the context and objectives of these two reports.
He arrived at the meeting room at 8:10, and Zhang Enyuan specifically checked the time on his hand.
The meeting ended at 0:49 a.m. This working meeting on the collaborative project lasted for more than four hours, and almost everyone was exhausted.
The working discussion meetings, especially those for Shenyang Aircraft Corporation projects, are expansive and mainly focus on technical cooperation.
Almost all members of the leadership team had high hopes for this collaboration, and those whose work or departments were involved were particularly enthusiastic.
It's not that even though Hongxing Steel Group has been developing for so long, people still admire Shenfei, the big brother of the group.
It is their desire and focus on professional skills that demonstrates the sensitivity and pursuit of opportunities by the leaders of Hongxing Steel Group during its development.
Is Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) large in scale?
It is indeed very large, you could say extremely large. This means that the current corporate management system is relatively rigid and has not been fully liberalized, hence the concept of group-based management.
If the company were to evolve into a group, then companies like Tianjin Aquatic Products, Beijing Automobile, and Beijing Second Automobile, which were previously contacted by Hongxing Steel Group, including Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, would all have the capability and qualifications to form a group company.
Given Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's massive technological reserves and production cooperation needs, and the initial exploratory cooperation between these two behemoth companies, do you think Hongxing Steel Group should take it seriously?
At the meeting, Li Xuewu first introduced the automobile procurement project of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, as well as the special metals and machining projects that he was interested in.
When introducing his participation in the J-8 test flight activities, Li Xuewu emphasized the importance of the J-8 project to national defense construction and its importance in the test of time.
Only after the key aspects of the project were clearly explained to all the leaders of the group did they begin to introduce the key points and advantages of cooperating with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.
The issues that Li Xuewu considers and the directions he focuses on are the key points that all members of the group's leadership team need to hear.
To their delight, Li Xuewu viewed the group's cooperation with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation as an opportunity for the group's industrial enterprises in Liaodong to integrate into the local industrial circle.
After he started working in Liaodong, he had been looking for and waiting for this opportunity. He couldn't say whether Liaodong industry had contributed to this cooperation, but he firmly believed that it was a situation that all parties hoped to see Hongxing Steel Group be able to negotiate a cooperation framework agreement with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and begin full cooperation.
Hongxing Steel Group possesses mature and modern management advantages, production capacity, and most importantly, market conversion rate and economic development capabilities.
Designing and manufacturing aircraft also requires costs, and relying solely on government funding has been a persistent problem for Shenyang Aircraft Corporation for many years due to insufficient funding.
Now that the authorities have relaxed restrictions a bit, giving them opportunities to learn and develop, Shen Fei naturally hopes to find a good mentor, preferably one who is very good at making money.
And here comes Hongxing Steel Group.
The industrial sector is watching Hongxing Steel Group closely, as it is a typical example of a rising star in Beijing's industrial landscape.
To put it simply, the transformation of Hongxing Factory into a group enterprise is just as satisfying as a loser's rise to power.
When discussing technological cooperation, Li Xuewu specifically mentioned the prospect of expanding into the aviation field, seizing opportunities, and actively accelerating the development of Steel Flight.
To truly master the technology in the aviation and aircraft field, relying solely on accumulated knowledge and working in isolation is unacceptable for university students.
Even with the fertile ground for university students' development, insufficient accumulation of original technologies is useless without the right seeds.
Therefore, it is necessary to introduce and learn technologies, continuously attract talent, and engage in cross-industry cooperation with advanced industrial enterprises and sister companies.
This feedback to Hongxing Steel is that it can increase the group's influence and the depth of its integrated industry.
The group's leadership team members raised questions and expressed their opinions. After a long period of discussion and research, it was finally decided that Gao Yaqin, Cheng Kaiyuan, and Li Xuewu would jointly form a negotiation leadership group to carry out preliminary work.
At the same time, authorized by Li Huaide, Director of the Management Committee and General Manager of the Group, Li Xuewu will officially reply to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's cooperation invitation on behalf of Hongxing Steel Group.
At this point, the collaborative project, which Li Xuewu had organized and prepared for nearly a month, was officially launched.
As for how to cooperate next and what the goals of the cooperation are, we'll have to wait for the outcome of the negotiations.
This is just the initial proposal, the first step in a long journey; we're still a long way from discussing goals.
"How about it? Stay tonight and go back at dawn?" Li Huaide walked up to Li Xuewu, shook his hand, and asked, "Do you want to go home and check on things?"
"I cannot miss tomorrow's event."
Li Xuewu held his hand and explained to the other team members, "I have to fly back as soon as possible."
"An event at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"
Dong Wenxue raised his wrist to check the time, nodded and said, "Then you really need to hurry up and go home to see your child. You need to do it as soon as possible."
"I'm not going back, it's too much trouble."
Li Xuewu released Li Huaide's hand and looked at Dong Wenxue, saying, "I've only come back twice a month. Let's see how it goes next time I come back. Let's focus on our work first."
"Secretary-General, you've worked hard!"
Cheng Kaiyuan walked over and shook hands with him, then gestured for Gao Yaqin, who had stood up and was walking over, to come over. He said, "Deputy Director Gao and I are waiting for your news and are ready to go to Liaodong to meet you at any time."
"Okay, I will confirm the meeting time as soon as possible and get back to you as soon as I have any news."
Li Xuewu shook hands with Gao Yaqin, who had come over, and said, "That's all for tonight. I'll head to the airport first. I want to stay in Steel City as much as possible."
"In that case, I wish you a safe journey and great success." Li Huaide smiled and nodded, then gestured to Liu Bin, who was standing at the door, and asked, "Is the car arranged?"
"Deputy Secretary-General Bu has already made arrangements; the car is downstairs." Secretary Liu Bin nodded in reply, "The late-night snack you asked me to prepare is also in the car."
"This is for you. Eat it on the way."
Li Huaide patted Li Xuewu's arm, sighed softly, and said, "I was planning to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning so you would have time to go home and see your children, but it looks like we'll have to wait until next time."
"Then next time, let's have breakfast together."
Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the other team members, saying, "You are also welcome to come to Liaodong for breakfast."
"Hehehe——"
I know that Li Xuewu will be flying back to Gangcheng overnight to attend the completion ceremony tomorrow morning.
So no one was in a hurry to leave. Even if they didn't come over to say goodbye, they wouldn't get in the way at this time.
At least maintain a semblance of unity. If they can't even do that, then Old Li won't mind making them lose face.
Everyone knows that Director Li is extremely concerned about his image.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time."
Li Huaide gave a final summary, saw Li Xuewu out, and said, "We're waiting for your good news."
Just like when they arrived, Bu Qingfang and Chen Shuzhi accompanied Director Li to see Li Xuewu off at the stairwell, and then went down the stairs with him to the building entrance.
Chen Shuzhi also had to organize the work after the meeting, so he only saw Li Xuewu off to his car, while Bu Qingfang had to take Li Xuewu to the airport.
"There's no need to go to such lengths."
Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with Chen Shuzhi, then said to Bu Qingfang, who was about to get into the car, "We can walk by ourselves, you should go home and rest early too."
"It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
Bu Qingfang opened the car door, looked at him through the car, and said, "I'll bring you back in a bit. I'll have the driver take me straight home."
She raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's really unnecessary to go home at this time. It'll just be too much trouble for the kids. I'll just come back."
"We'll all go to the guesthouse in a bit."
Chen Shuzhi saw Li Xuewu off to his car and joked with Bu Qingfang, "I won't wait for you to come back to sleep."
"Get lost, Old Chen, you've gone astray!"
Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, bent down and got into the car, pointing at Chen Shuzhi across Li Xuewu.
The two appeared to have a harmonious relationship, at least in front of Li Xuewu.
The large red flag slowly drove out of the office area amidst the bright lights, crossed the factory road illuminated by streetlights, and exited the gate under the salute and watchful eyes of the guards, gradually accelerating.
At the airport, the Red Star No. 1 was ready for takeoff, and the standby crew members were on duty to escort Li Xuewu and his secretary Zhang Enyuan back to Gangcheng.
I rushed back to Beijing without even having a chance to see my child or witness the morning sun.
Perhaps this is the significance of the existence of the Red Star No. 1 business jet. Li Xuewu has also transformed from being a father and husband to a more important role that requires him.
-
"You really aren't planning on setting off firecrackers?"
Zhang Jing and Sun Jia confirmed the final details, and after looking at the steel rolling mill area, they realized it was indeed different from the Beijing Red Star Factory.
Hongxing Steel Group originated from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. The history before that is too complicated to recount, as the process of merging the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 plants was far too complex.
The establishment of Hongxing Steel Group is based on Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, which is the core, fundamental, and key business.
However, since the development plan was formulated three years ago, which determined that the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant would be transferred to the steel city, and that the steel rolling and metallurgical projects would be optimally integrated, while driving and developing other projects and forming an integrated and modern industrial zone, the fate of the Beijing Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant has also begun its countdown.
Similarly, from that time onward, the steel rolling business was no longer the group's only core industry.
The group's development goal is to develop a mixed industry of light and heavy industries and to integrate the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
Establishing a professional and modern steel rolling industry has become a key task for the group.
Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill did not go bankrupt or disappear; rather, it transformed into a spark that illuminated the entire group.
The original workforce numbered over 13,000, with more than 8,000 workers directly involved in production.
Now that the entire project has been completed and the last piece of machinery has been installed, the Steel City Rolling Mill has inherited the glory of the Red Star Rolling Mill, but it only has 8,000 employees.
The other workers and cadres were like sparks, scattered throughout the group, becoming the backbone of support for other brother units, and the pillars supporting the establishment of the new Beijing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing.
Starting today, Beijing Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill officially enters its countdown phase, and Steel City Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill also begins its countdown, preparing to undertake the production plans assigned by various parties.
In fact, many workers from the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill have already been relocated. Only the main industrial plant is still absorbing the most important industrial workers. Most of the others have gone to the New Beijing No. 1 Factory.
Many workers cannot accept the difficulty of working in the steel city, leaving their hometowns and families, and commuting thousands of miles away.
Similarly, the group's expectations and goals for industrial enterprises deterred many veteran workers, who then chose to work at the Xinjing No. 1 Factory.
Although they were reluctant to give up the benefits at Hongxing Steel Group, they were even more reluctant to leave the working environment there.
However, news has circulated that the handover of management of the New Beijing No. 1 Factory by Beijing Industrial Group will be delayed.
Many people are speculating whether Beijing's industries are not fully prepared or have other motives.
That's too simple. Hongxing Steel Group is developing really well. Its steel rolling industry is so complete, and its products are especially abundant. As the offspring of Hongxing Steel Group, Xinjing No. 1 Plant, even though it has changed its name, is still related by blood.
Wouldn't it be a huge loss not to take advantage of this opportunity?
If we can complete the production plan assigned by Beijing Industry Group and have the conditions to undertake the production tasks given by Hongxing Steel Group, that would be great.
Hongxing Steel Group also intends to maintain its influence over Xinjing No. 1 Plant, which is directly reflected in its care and support for the workers.
Meanwhile, the continued production capacity of Xinjing No. 1 Plant will also provide some support for Hongxing Steel Group's industrial production in North China in the future.
Therefore, as the Beijing Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was about to close and the Steel City Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was about to start operation, Beijing Industry and Hongxing Steel Group began negotiations on a new cooperation project.
After all, Hongxing Steel Group needs to establish itself in Beijing, and there are still many light industrial and office areas here.
The group's workers' village is also located here, and the entire Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone is under their jurisdiction.
Therefore, it is important to maintain good relationships, as everyone is already acquainted. The progress of the negotiations mainly revolves around future cooperation, and Beijing Industrial Group should also actively cooperate with Hongxing Steel Group's vision and arrangements for the future.
Both sides want each other to prosper, and in this friendly atmosphere, cooperation is naturally easy to discuss.
Representatives from Beijing's industrial sector attended today's completion ceremony for the steel rolling mill in Gangcheng.
They arrived ahead of time, unlike Li Xuewu who was in such a rush.
In fact, Li Xuewu had made preparations in advance. The group had temporarily summoned him back for a meeting, which is why he flew overnight.
It's said that not many people can afford to fly these days, but Li Xuewu still doesn't like commuting by plane because no matter how good the environment or service is, it can't offset the fatigue.
He fell asleep as soon as he boarded the plane, but had to wake up four hours later. By the time he arrived at the metallurgical plant, he couldn't fall asleep again.
It wasn't that his subordinates were bothering him, but rather that he couldn't sleep; once the sun came out, he lost all sleepiness.
As the main character today, he will be giving a speech on behalf of the group at the ceremony, and Kuang Yusheng has also made preparations.
He spoke on behalf of the group about the future, and Kuang Yusheng made a statement on behalf of the steel rolling mill. The event was scheduled to start at nine o'clock, but they had to start preparing at seven in the morning.
Your eyes are a little red.
Zhou Peilan glanced at the secretary-general, who had changed his clothes and was coming out of the office, and reminded him, "Why don't you rest a little longer? There's still some time before the event starts."
"Forget it, we don't have time."
Li Xuewu glanced at his watch and said, "The guests have already arrived. If I don't show up soon, people will say we're neglecting them."
"Director Zhang has already gone over to explain."
Zhou Linghua came out of the office and reported to him, "You have half an hour to prepare."
"Hmm, shall Director Wang from Shenfei come?"
Li Xuewu walked into the main office, which was the preparation office for this event.
Wang Min handed him a list, which was a roster of organizations that had decided to attend the event so far.
Li Xuewu casually flipped through the list, nodded, and said, "I can't remember all the numbers. You guys prepare accordingly. Every unit and every individual participating in the event should receive a gift."
"Make it more practical."
He offered a reminder, then said with a smile, "Since you're eating and taking things, you can put in a good word for us when you get back."
"Director Zhang is ready."
Zhou Peilan noticed that his collar was a little crooked, pointed at him, and reminded him, "Do you need me to help you?"
“Wang Min will come; his hand is in good condition.”
Li Xuewu chose Wang Min, who was closest to him, instead of Zhou Peilan.
He could still consider this level of consideration, and he didn't care. The main thing was that Zhou Peilan was still young, and it wasn't good for an unmarried young woman to get entangled with him.
It's best to avoid gossip.
"Your clothes are really neat and tidy—"
Wang Min smiled and looked at him, jokingly saying, "Especially your height, you really fit the clothes well."
"You'll have a chance to speak next time."
Li Xuewu teased him, saying, "But you have to prove yourself. Professor Liu said you're good with words, but you haven't made any progress in your professional skills."
Zhou Peilan and her three colleagues received a perk when they came to work for Li Xuewu: they would receive professorial training.
It was Li Xuewu who invited professors from the academy to provide one-on-one assistance and training for them.
They are required to regularly report their work and academic progress to professors, which is considered part of the graduate student process.
For graduate students without a bachelor's degree or proof of academic qualifications, the number of years they can pursue is unknown; it all depends on their own efforts and fate.
Zhou Peilan was the only one among them who worked exceptionally hard, a fact that even Li Xuewu acknowledged.
Li Xuewu only stayed in the office for a short while, chatted with the four people to relax, and then led them downstairs, where the car was already waiting for him.
The event took place in the courtyard of the steel rolling mill, with the modern factory buildings serving as a backdrop, and a high platform had already been erected.
There are no tables or chairs downstairs, so everyone will stand and listen, but you can sit down to eat lunch.
There must be proper hospitality.
"Secretary-General, it's your turn."
The ceremony for the completion of the steel rolling mill, which also served as the commencement of trial production, was hosted by Zhang Jing, director of the Group's Liaodong Industrial Leading Group Office.
The speaking time for the event was very short, so there wasn't much time to prepare.
Zhang Jing gave a brief introduction, and then Li Xuewu went on stage under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He first welcomed the guests who came to the event today, and then briefly explained the group's expectations and attention to the Steel City Rolling Mill.
Kuang Yusheng's statement was shorter than his speech, but his voice was very loud.
After the ceremony, there was a tour. During this time, Li Xuewu had a dialogue with Wang Xin, the deputy director of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, who was invited to attend the ceremony. Both of them had been looking forward to it, and Li Xuewu formally conveyed the group's willingness to cooperate.
At the same time, Wang Xin also confirmed that he would organize an expert group and leaders to conduct negotiations with Hongxing Steel Group as soon as possible after returning.
