"Hehehe——"
Seeing Li Xuewu's slightly stunned expression followed by a wry smile, Bu Qingfang couldn't help but smile.
Only after Li Xuewu hung up the phone did he ask, "Which ex-girlfriend is this?"
She didn't have a deep relationship with Li Xuewu; the only time she did it was because her subordinates asked her to use their connections to do something for Yi Honglei.
Yi Honglei was originally the head of the broadcasting station, and later transferred to the publicity department and concurrently served as the head of the radio station.
Li Xuewu set fire to the freight station, but Yi Honglei, being opportunistic, didn't dare to directly approach Li Xuewu to offer his services. Instead, he went to Bu Qingfang.
Bu Qingfang would naturally support "her own people," so she asked Li Xuewu for help.
Yi Honglei is capable of managing a freight station, but most people wouldn't be transferred like this.
why?
Because he was transferred from a department directly under the group, without the protection of his deputy director status, it would be difficult for him to come back.
One must switch between internal and external roles to make progress; transferring out as a section chief is utterly useless.
Without a major opportunity, this is the limit for a deputy director position in my life, with no further advancement possible.
However, Yi Honglei has reached the age limit, and if he goes any further, he will be stuck at the age limit. Rather than lingering in the awkward position of the publicity department and radio station, it would be better for him to go down to the grassroots level and relax for a few years.
If you don't understand this proactive approach to external investigation, please refer to the advice of editor Wang, who loves learning foreign languages.
The fact that someone would go through the trouble of pulling strings for a cadre who voluntarily gave up on advancement, and even reach Li Xuewu, shows that the relationship between the two was fairly good.
The reason I say it's "okay" is because the two don't have a deep personal relationship; they're just colleagues who share similar ideologies.
Why did she dare to ask such a private question in Li Xuewu's office?
Even if it's a joke, it shouldn't be this blatant.
The answer is simple: since Li Xuewu dared to answer the phone in front of her, it means that there was nothing wrong with the call and the person on the other end.
She had already heard it, so instead of pretending not to, she might as well make a joke honestly, which would also ease Li Xuewu's embarrassment.
That's how telephones were back then; they were only slightly quieter than the village loudspeaker.
In his office, as long as you're not too far away, anyone with good hearing can hear you clearly.
What was being said on the other end of the phone?
She had a son, but regretted not being able to have one for Li Xuewu. It's just a joke, isn't it?
"Wang Yajuan's younger sister."
Since Bu Qingfang is honest enough, Li Xuewu knows better how to build intimate relationships.
Note that in the workplace, "close relationship" doesn't necessarily mean that kind of relationship. It's the "intimate relationship" that's dangerous. Generally, people use the term "close" but not "intimate."
You've heard of close comrades-in-arms, but you've never heard of intimate comrades-in-arms, right? That's the point.
His honesty surprised Bu Qingfang, who then chuckled and said, "The rumors about your relationship are true, Wang Yajuan is yours..."
This time she asked the question frankly, but there was not a trace of intrusion into her privacy on her face.
“We’ve been childhood friends, we live not far from each other, and we played together when we were in school.”
Li Xuewu explained, half-jokingly, "You should know Shen Guodong, right?"
"Oh—I know, I know."
Bu Qingfang had known about Shen Guodong's relationship for a long time, but she nodded and said, "So he has this connection with you."
"I always thought he got the job at our factory because he had a good relationship with Director Li."
"Hehe—he and Director Li do have a good relationship." Li Xuewu said with an undisguised light laugh, "You're not wrong about that."
"I knew it!"
Bu Qingfang gave him a knowing look, and in just a few words, the relationship between the two became even closer, more in sync than before.
Does she believe that Li Xuewu is telling the truth?
How could that be? Even she herself only tells half the truth when she says such things, let alone Li Xuewu.
However, she wasn't a complete novice; she had the ability to discern the truth in someone's words.
There's no need to worry too much about whether these words are true or false. Just knowing that Li Xuewu is willing to share such "private matters" with her is enough to show how far their relationship has progressed.
They should be considered close comrades-in-arms.
So some things can be said, and some jokes can be made, but there should still be limits.
Just like the joke we just made, one sentence is enough, there's no need to hold onto it.
What exactly is the relationship between Li Xuewu and Wang Yajuan? Even if she finds out, what can she do? Can she go around telling everyone that Li Xuewu took care of her? Is that abuse of power for personal gain?
To put it bluntly, can Wang Yajuan's progress be as fast as Zhou Miaomiao's and others?
Look at Li Xue, she's Li Xuewu's younger sister. Does she receive any special treatment?
In government offices, connections matter, but that's about it. Having connections might give you more opportunities, but without ability, you'll never get promoted.
Such examples abound.
What is the social status of Zheng Xicai and Zheng Xiaoyan's father, Zheng Shusen? Has anyone witnessed them making any progress?
Those who are truly talented and knowledgeable in governance can see the potential and ability of the younger generation.
They will give younger generations some opportunities when they are young, but they will not provide endless assistance.
If you push an incompetent person to a high position, they might fall and hit you instead.
Therefore, relationships are not absolute; progress depends on performance.
Anyone who reaches a certain level can be looked down upon for their incompetence in business or other work, but there's always one thing they can't do that you can't do, and that's what makes them a leader.
Bu Qingfang really knew what talents Wang Yajuan had; the cultural troupe's growth and development to its current state was thanks in no small part to Wang Yajuan.
So Wang Yajuan was suddenly transferred to work in the steel city, and today Bu Qingfang finally understands the cause and effect behind it.
The fact that the younger sister could make such a joke, and that she specifically called to inform him of the birth of her child, shows that the two sisters have an extraordinary relationship with Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu didn't care how far she would go. After the joke, he talked about the inspection and research he had done at the No. 7 Steel and Electricity Plant that morning.
The acquisition of Steel & Electricity Plant No. 7 is only the first step; the construction of supporting industries still needs to be discussed.
This includes brick factories, cement plants, sand and gravel plants, clinker plants, coal processing plants, as well as electrolytic aluminum plants, electroplating plants, and so on.
These companies, with their industrial ecosystems, can pull out a whole string of businesses by focusing on any part of a single chain; the key is how they operate.
Bu Qingfang's idea is still for the Energy Corporation to take the lead, with the Group providing support.
The construction of related industrial enterprises is still coordinated and organized by the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group.
In other words, the Energy Corporation acquired the No. 7 Steel and Electricity Plant and was responsible for equipment and process innovation, while Li Xuewu was in charge of other industrial enterprises.
This is not a simple question of who will do the work. Li Xuewu is naturally not afraid to start a new factory, but how to decide and handle the interdependence between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain?
The acquisition of Steel & Electricity Plant No. 7, a joint-stock company by United Energy, involves significant connections. Li Xuewu would never let go of the opportunity to rip off the Santayana Group, especially since he was about to go to East Germany.
-
"What did she tell you?"
At lunchtime, Wang Yajuan found Li Xuewu with her lunchbox in hand.
Unlike other employees in the same group, Li Xuewu rarely sat with other members of the leadership team at the metallurgical plant because he felt uncomfortable.
It's not that Li Xuewu is uncomfortable, but that the other deputy directors of the metallurgical plant will be uncomfortable.
If Li Xuewu were simply the head of the metallurgical plant, they wouldn't care too much.
However, he held a concurrent position, and his influence within the group's leadership team was growing.
Specifically, Li Xuewu's work focus in recent months has shifted towards the work direction of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group and the Group.
He boldly delegated authority in the management of the metallurgical plant, with Executive Deputy Director Yang Zongfang in charge of daily work, and the other deputy directors each performing their respective duties. This management philosophy made the metallurgical plant's work more united and stable.
Fight for what?
There's a group leader above them keeping everyone in check; nobody dares to cause trouble or stand out.
There's no future in causing trouble; the only way to gain the leader's approval is through hard work.
Therefore, although the leadership of the metallurgical plant has undergone several changes this year, each change has brought it closer to unity and hard work.
This resulted in the more authority Li Xuewu delegated, the more successful the work became, the more he trusted his team members, and the more they supported him.
There was even a prevailing opinion in the metallurgical plant that people should not cause trouble for the secretary-general.
When there is work that needs to be coordinated, the supervisor will usually take the initiative to meet and handle it, and Yang Zongfang is basically not needed to get involved.
Because they knew that if Yang Zongfang stepped in to mediate, it meant that Li Xuewu was aware of the situation.
If the Secretary-General's gaze is drawn to it, then it means the group has taken notice.
At that time, regardless of whether the work is done well or poorly, there will be huge risks involved.
Just like the accident at Furnace No. 4, if Dong Wenxue hadn't worked there for three years, why would Chief Designer Yu Tiecheng have committed suicide?
Therefore, once the factory leaders' initiative was mobilized, those below dared not act recklessly.
Li Xuewu rarely goes to the workshop to ask about the workers' living and working conditions, which causes trouble and distress for grassroots managers.
He's no longer a typical manager or leader in the group or the metallurgical plant, so he needs to be careful about the impact.
Just like when Wang Yajuan suddenly came looking for us, countless eyes were watching this place.
"Did you take gunpowder?"
Li Xuewu looked up and glared at her, then pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down and talk."
Wang Yajuan noticed his suggestive glance, subtly scanned her surroundings, and sat down opposite him with a frown.
"Ugh, this is so annoying—"
"If you're really annoyed, just go back and eat."
Li Xuewu glanced at him and said casually, "Did Ya Mei call you?"
"She wanted the whole world to know she had given birth—"
Wang Yajuan looked up at him with a mixture of helplessness and exasperation, and said, "You insist that I go back to see her."
"Didn't I ask you to promote her on the radio?" Li Xuewu chuckled when he heard her say that. "She also told me the good news."
Is she overly excited?
Wang Yajuan curled her lip and said with dissatisfaction, "Does this kind of thing really have to be reported by phone from so far away? And why do I have to call you?"
"What's wrong with calling me?"
Li Xuewu glanced at her, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What? Envious?"
"You did this on purpose, didn't you—"
Wang Yajuan, like a firecracker that had been lit, glared at him with slightly narrowed eyes, and then gave him a light kick under the table.
What are you envious of? Having children?
If the two of them hadn't... but instead chose..., their child would be in elementary school by now.
Li Xuewu took a kick, then smirked and said, "I just wanted to say that if you're envious, you should have one too. When you give birth, call her to let her know the good news."
"Want one? How do I want one?"
Wang Yajuan glanced at him with a smirk and asked, "You're giving it to me?"
"Give you what?" Li Xuewu scoffed, "You dare take it if I give it to you?"
"If you dare to give it to me, I dare to take it."
Wang Yajuan glared at her and said, "If you're not afraid, then I'm even less afraid."
"It would have been so much better if you had said that six years ago."
After finishing his meal, Li Xuewu put down his chopsticks and asked, "What made you so bold?"
These words left Wang Yajuan silent for a long time. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly spoke up and said, "Actually, the problem is with you, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's my fault." Li Xuewu nodded frankly and admitted, "I also bear some responsibility."
"You have a responsibility—"
Tears welled up in Wang Yajuan's eyes. She sniffed and tried to control her emotions, looking at him as she said, "It was always possible."
"It's possible, but the chances are slim."
Li Xuewu smiled calmly and looked at her, saying, "Even if my parents can accept the reality of having a grandson at such a young age, can your parents accept it? Your father would kill me."
“Hmm—” Wang Yajuan understood what he meant. She sniffed, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a dry voice, “He’s very reluctant to mention your name now.”
“But he absolutely does not regret his decision back then.” Li Xuewu looked at her earnestly and said, “Now I also have a daughter and am a father, so I understand this feeling very well.”
"Li Shu, right—"
Wang Yajuan smiled and said, "I've met her a few times; she's a very pretty young girl."
"But you don't dare to go near her."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Ya Mei told me that the way you look at Li Shu is like you're trying to steal a child."
"Don't listen to her nonsense—"
Wang Yajuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I just don't want to cause you any trouble."
"Then I'll accept your favor."
Li Xuewu knew she was still being stubborn, so he smiled and didn't emphasize it further. Instead, he advised her, "If you really don't want to spend your life making compromises, you have to be prepared to grow old alone."
"Are you trying to scare me?" Wang Yajuan glanced at him and said, "Fine, you just wait."
After saying that, he stood up, gathered the lunchboxes on the table, and turned to walk towards Yu Zhe's table, which was not far away.
This kid is very self-aware; if he runs into Li Xuewu while eating, he'll sit closer to him.
He's a driver, and besides, he has a connection with his sister, so he's just worried that Li Xuewu might need him if something comes up.
However, I was a little stunned when I saw Director Wang suddenly walk over. What did she want to do?
"Yu Zhe, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
"Uh—uh—ah?"
Yu Zhe was stunned. What did Director Wang mean by that?
Seeing his expression, Wang Yajuan asked, somewhat annoyed, "What, do you think I'm not old enough?"
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhe to react. She turned around and walked towards the cafeteria door, then left.
"This this……"
Yu Zhe swallowed a mouthful of rice, feeling inexplicably hurt. He hadn't done anything wrong—
-
"Boss, Director Wang from Shenfei is here." Zhang Enyuan knocked on the door and entered the office, then walked over and whispered, "He's downstairs."
"Wang Xin? What brings him here?"
Li Xuewu knew that Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and Steel Aircraft Corporation had a technical exchange activity recently, but he did not know that Wang Xin would be there.
It was already said to be a technical exchange, and this wasn't the first time. The previous times were all about exchanging technical personnel, so Li Xuewu was naturally surprised by Wang Xin's arrival this time.
But in an instant, he realized that Wang Xin's visit to the metallurgical plant must mean that there was progress on the matter of Tadong Airport.
In fact, Shenfei is very patient. This matter was first mentioned in September, and it has only just begun to show some progress today. This is very much in line with the practices of companies in this era: research, research, and more research.
He didn't want to ask Zhang Enyuan about the other party's purpose in coming, so after his initial surprise, he stood up and prepared to go downstairs to greet the other party.
Don't worry about whether the other person's status is different from his or hers; everyone who comes is a guest.
If Wang Xin came uninvited and was just dropping by, then it would be enough for him to greet him at the door.
But this time, Wang Xin was clearly using the pretext of leading the team to try and meet with Li Xuewu.
Now that he represents Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, Li Xuewu has to make a gesture; otherwise, if negotiations really start later, there will be no room for coordination between the two sides.
Just as Li Xuewu came downstairs to the lobby, Wang Xin also walked in with his secretary.
"Why didn't you let me know you were coming? What if I wasn't here?"
Taking the initiative, Li Xuewu didn't give him a chance to speak, and his first words were a complaint against him.
Listen up, it's not that I, Li Xuewu, am impolite, it's just that you came too suddenly.
Wang Xin laughed heartily, shook hands with Li Xuewu, and said, "You really don't stand to lose at all, do you? What, are you afraid of me coming?"
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll come, it's that I'm afraid you'll come and not see me."
Li Xuewu patted his arm with a smile and gestured for him to come upstairs, saying, "Come upstairs, let's talk. When did you arrive in Steel City?"
"In the morning, I went to Gangfei first."
Wang Xin acted like an old friend, supporting Li Xuewu's arm as they walked upstairs together. He introduced Li Xuewu, saying, "I just came from Director Kong's place."
"If you had come in the morning, you might not have been able to see me."
Li Xuewu tucked his chin in and said earnestly, "This morning we went to the No. 7 Steel and Electricity Plant and met with Wang Lu from Steel City."
"I heard you're going to acquire a thermal power plant, right?" Wang Xin nodded and said with admiration, "You guys are really rich, you can even acquire a thermal power plant."
"You didn't see it, the situation at Factory No. 7 is terrible, it's not worth much money."
Li Xuewu casually waved his hand and explained, "It's not that we want to merge with the No. 7 Thermal Power Plant, it's the United Energy Corporation."
"The energy company wants to build the seventh plant because it wants to provide power to industrial enterprises."
He reached out and nudged Wang Xin's arm, saying, "Hey, you guys have a factory in Steel City, right? Do you need a dedicated power line?"
"That's too extravagant—"
Wang Xin glanced at him and said, "These days, which workplace doesn't experience power outages?"
"Our group doesn't have that."
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and said, "Since the thermal power plant was built and connected to the grid, there has been no power outage. Ensuring power supply is very necessary."
"Okay, I'll go back and ask."
Wang Xin stepped onto the third floor, turned to Li Xuewu and complained, "You already have a hot spot factory in Gangcheng, why are you still looking for a site there? Why don't you go to Fengcheng?"
He was just learning on the spot, deliberately covering up for Li Xuewu. According to him, if Hongxing Steel Group were to acquire the thermal power plant in Fengcheng and establish dedicated power supply lines for industrial enterprises, they would use it.
"Don't worry, the No. 7 Steel Power Plant is the first one with a dedicated power supply line for industrial enterprises, but it is definitely not the last one."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "I'll contact you when United Energy builds its factory in Fengcheng. Shenfei must support our work."
"Are you really going to go all out?"
Wang Xin was somewhat surprised by Li Xuewu's boasting and asked skeptically, "Does your group really intend to get into power supply?"
"There is still a difference."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "United Energy only supplies electricity to industrial enterprises."
"Replenish with mains electricity."
Wang Xin nodded knowingly and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll wait for your good news."
"If the No. 7 Steel and Electricity Plant can be done well, I believe the day when it is located in Fengcheng will not be far away."
The group entered Li Xuewu's office; they maintained a friendly relationship and were not led to the reception room.
Zhang Enyuan offered to make tea for the two of them, and Wang Xin's secretary also offered to help.
Li Xuewu and Wang Xin sat on the sofa chatting, while the two secretaries became quite polite.
Wang Xin couldn't help but smile at the scene, then turned to Li Xuewu and said, "I heard you've partnered with Shouqi and Dongfeng?"
Which collaboration are you referring to?
Li Xuewu pretended not to know and asked suspiciously, "A taxi project?"
"Shouqi's move this time really startled the Beijing auto industry."
Wang Xin knew he was pretending to be stupid, so he deliberately ignored him and continued, "If your Aries really take over the taxi replacement project, this area will be yours from now on."
"That sounds so mystical—"
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's just losing money to gain publicity."
"If Shouqi can choose the Aries for its taxis, it will be a way of promoting us."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "As you know, Aries' sales are alright overseas, but the sales figures in China are really terrible."
“It’s all the same, it’s just that your production capacity is too high.” Wang Xin said with some envy, “Companies like Steel & Gas are rare even in the whole country.”
"Let's adapt to local conditions," Li Xuewu smiled and said, "If it weren't for the industrial soil of Steel City, we wouldn't be able to make cars even if we wanted to."
"What about the plane?"
Wang Xin, finding his pretentious manner unbearable, asked with amusement, "Steel City didn't have an aircraft manufacturing plant before, let alone any supporting industrial enterprises."
"We'll have to rely on an older brother like Shen Fei to take care of us." Li Xuewu said jokingly, looking at him. "What new technologies or support did you bring us this time?"
"Or is there some good news?"
"Good news?" Wang Xin looked at him and said, "Does the news about Tadong Airport count?"
"That depends on how you put it."
Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."
Just listen to Li Xuewu's nonsense. Do you think he'll forget about this?
Wang Xin's understanding of Hongxing Steel Group is no less than that of the employees working in the group.
He even knew that Li Xuewu was organizing and summarizing the management experience of Liaodong industry, and that the focus of his work was moving towards a higher level.
Li Xuewu was originally the group's secretary-general, but this position was appointed with the support of Li Huaide, the director of the management committee.
The secretary-general is the secretary-general of the management committee, not the leader of the group's working meetings.
Now that the group is led by the management committee, Li Xuewu is undoubtedly the group's leader.
But what if one day the group is no longer led by the management committee, or is not only led by the management committee? Wouldn't Li Xuewu be in a very awkward position?
This explains why Li Xuewu shifted his focus to the group after streamlining the industrial management in Liaodong.
Otherwise, what's the point of all this back and forth? Are we just playing around?
To put it bluntly, when Li Xuewu came down from the group, he was only promoted by Li Huaide, and he was promoted to the position of Secretary-General of the Management Committee by Dong Wenxue and others.
But when Li Xuewu was preparing to return, he was the powerful secretary-general who held absolute influence over the Liaodong industry. How could that be the same?
To gain more support and recognition within the group and to have more control over resource allocation, Li Xuewu needed to employ certain methods to shift his work focus back to the group.
How did he do it?
Several months ago, Li Huaide had already reminded Li Xuewu to sort out the work in Liaodong as soon as possible and return to work at the group.
Li Xuewu knew, of course, that he couldn't stay away from the group's management for too long, otherwise he would be marginalized. He had to juggle responsibilities both above and below him, and between his colleagues.
But he can't rush things. What's the use of him going back? Without achievements and leverage, who will support him or listen to his opinions?
Therefore, starting in the second half of the year, he actively explored the potential of Liaodong's industry and gradually discovered key projects related to industry, economy, organization, and culture.
While managing Liaodong Industry, he also oversaw key projects of the group and other industrial enterprises, and each assignment brought him a certain boost to his reputation.
Once he has accumulated enough experience and knowledge, even if the people in the group's leadership are unwilling, they will have to fully respect his opinions and actively seek his advice.
Knowing this, Wang Xin was convinced that Li Xuewu desperately needed the Tadong Airport project to increase his influence within the group.
How could I possibly forget?
Of course, it's impossible to demand an exorbitant price just because Li Xuewu is fond of this project, since Li Xuewu isn't a complete fool.
The merger of Tadong Airport was not initiated by Hongxing Steel Group; rather, it was Shenyang Aircraft Corporation that wanted to find a buyer for Tadong Airport.
Even if Li Xuewu needs the Tadong Airport project, he won't tarnish his reputation as a negotiation expert. Thinking this way, he should be wary of Li Xuewu's attitude. Even if he wants to sell Tadong Airport, the negotiations will be very difficult.
"I'll remind you if you forget."
Wang Xin ignored Li Xuewu's words and said somewhat helplessly, "The price assessment for Tadong Airport has been completed, and it differs quite a bit from our estimated price."
"Bigger? How much bigger?"
Li Xuewu, feigning ignorance, looked at him and asked, "What is your estimated price?"
"Didn't I tell you that already?"
Wang Xin said with a wry smile, "We valued Tadong Airport at over nine million."
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu laughed, looking at him and waiting for him to continue.
"After we checked carefully, we found that there were still more than seven million."
"And then?" Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What was the bank's valuation?"
“We don’t accept the valuation given by your United Savings Bank.”
Wang Xin said seriously, "It's impossible to buy Tadong Airport for two million."
"Two million?" Li Xuewu turned to Zhang Enyuan and asked, "Do you have the assessment plan for the United Savings Bank? Find it for me."
The Secretary-General is quite the actor!
Zhang Enyuan responded verbally, then hurriedly went to rummage through the cabinet, thinking about the sentence in his mind.
Actually, the Secretary-General was looking at this report yesterday, but today he asked if it was available.
Yes, you've seen it before.
Of course, Zhang Enyuan knew how to cooperate with his superiors, so he wouldn't give himself away at this moment.
He was searching through things, while Li Xuewu reassured him, "That's how bank assessments work. They don't look at the intrinsic value; they only calculate the actual figures."
"Furthermore, the production cost must be calculated by reverse calculation from the excess loss data."
"Found it, Secretary General."
Zhang Enyuan had actually been hovering around that document, and only picked it out with feigned surprise when he realized that the Secretary-General really needed it.
Wang Xin's secretary stared at them with a strange look in his eyes, but Zhang Enyuan didn't seem to care.
Two million, hmm—
Li Xuewu muttered to himself as he opened the report and began to read it, focusing on the conclusions.
"Their calculation is based on both above-ground and underground structures, which makes sense."
He looked up at Wang Xin and said, "The basic facilities at Tadong Airport are indeed insufficient. No matter how much you praise it, you can't build more buildings."
"Kotadon Airport has a good location."
Wang Xin emphasized, "Besides, the airport office building is sufficient. Why would we need to build so many more buildings?"
"The most important thing is the airport's qualifications."
He explained, "This can't be approved right now; you should be aware of that."
"Two million is a bit low."
Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "What are your opinions?"
"I remember reminding you that we should each have a third party conduct an evaluation, right?"
He deliberately asked, "How much did the third-party agency you hired give you in terms of valuation?"
"Anyway, it's more than what you guys give."
Wang Xin complained, "We never expected you would offer two million."
“It wasn’t us who gave it to us, it was the bank,” Li Xuewu emphasized. “We only have management rights over the United Savings Bank, not the right to interfere in its operations. Do you think a bank can be privately run?”
"You said you'd give us more than we did."
He pointed to the sofa armrest and said, "Actually, it's not that much more, right?"
As if he could see right through the other party, Li Xuewu bluntly said, "I don't know which company you hired for the evaluation, but I'm saying that you hired that company, so of course the price will be a bit inflated. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Wang Xin looked at him, hesitated, and said, "Two million is absolutely impossible."
“We didn’t say we would definitely pay two million,” Li Xuewu said with a smile. “We’ve already said this is just a reference. You can also say that a third-party assessment would be over nine million.”
“One is one, two is two, there’s no need for us to tell this lie.”
Wang Xin thought for a moment and said, "I actually brought my authority here today to see how to discuss the Tadong Airport project."
"How about we cooperate, like I said?"
Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and said, "You know the strength of Hongxing Steel Group. We'll provide management and logistical support, and you'll provide aircraft and technical support. Let's join hands to grow bigger and stronger and create brilliance."
"hehe--"
The more he said this, the more Wang Xin felt that his proposed cooperation was unreliable.
A collaboration with Hongxing Steel Group?
They still have this confidence in their original field, namely aircraft design and manufacturing, but to compete with Hongxing Steel Group in terms of business management is just asking for trouble.
The merger project of Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Plant demonstrates that Hongxing Steel Group has a very effective management system. It does not show any favoritism in its management, but rather breaks up and reorganizes the No. 1 Machinery Plant and vigorously promotes organizational and personnel reforms.
The results of it?
In the Liaodong industrial management system, Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Plant was about to go bankrupt.
Under the management of Hongxing Steel Group, Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Plant not only turned a profit and came back to life, but even managed to develop CNC machine tools.
You see, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is handing over its only competitive asset, Tadong Airport, to Hongxing Steel Group as a bargaining chip in the cooperation. In the long run, it's really hard to say who will own Tadong Airport.
Who can outsmart Li Xuewu? With him in Liaodong, it's better to leave the Tadong Airport card out in the street than to include it in a cooperative project.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's management decided not to cooperate and instead to sell the company.
“We have other projects we want to do, so we still want to sell Tadon Airport as a whole.”
Wang Xin expressed his attitude firmly and clearly, looking at Li Xuewu and waiting for his reply.
Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said, "Actually, cooperation is the best way."
"We still have a partnership."
Wang Xin smiled and said, "The current cooperation model between Shenfei and Gangfei is very good."
Li Xuewu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright, even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly. Since you don't intend to cooperate, then let's sell."
"However, have you considered what I mentioned last time, exchanging shares for it?"
He explained again, "Our tertiary industry is indeed generating decent revenue."
"You don't need to doubt that we're trying to get rid of you or deliberately trick you."
Li Xuewu said earnestly, "It is true that the group's business and organizational structure need to be adjusted, and the tertiary industry is no longer of much use to us."
"So that means you've completed your initial capital accumulation, right?" Wang Xin nodded understandingly and said, "We have indeed considered that."
"But your tertiary industry is located in the Liangmahe Industrial Zone, right?"
He raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Is that okay?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xuewu looked at him with surprise and asked, "If we sell you the shares of the tertiary industry, would we ask you to move out of the Liangmahe Industrial Zone?"
"That's impossible."
He smiled and said, "We have never said that the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone belongs to Hongxing Steel Group. There has never been such a thing."
“Hongxing Steel Group is only the supervising unit of Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone. We have also established relevant management departments for the industrial enterprises in the industrial zone, which are more focused on service work.”
Li Xuewu emphasized, "Don't worry, once the shares in the tertiary industry are exchanged, you will be part of the industrial zone. We should strengthen cooperation and communication in the future."
"All the shares in the tertiary industry?" Wang Xin raised an eyebrow and asked, "All the shares in exchange for Tadong Airport?"
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu's lips curled up, revealing a "you want to eat shit" smile. He didn't say anything, but he believed that the other party already understood.
Wang Xin smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, the tertiary industry is not bad either."
Hmm, it's alright.
The annual losses of Tadong Airport are not even enough to cover the profits of Hongxing Steel Group's tertiary industries. Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is the one that's getting rid of the burden, yet they're still bragging about it.
"Alright, that's enough."
Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "If you choose to take a share in each of the tertiary industries, then we will still be in a cooperative relationship."
"What you mean is?" Wang Xin raised an eyebrow and said, "We become the major shareholder?"
This is like someone who's become a major shareholder through stock trading!
