Chapter 1058 Stirring up a Hornet's Nest

On the last day of March, Li Xuewu got up early and walked around the big lake near his home.

It is said to be a big lake, but it is actually just a big puddle with fences and observation decks built around it.

Even though this kind of park-like public facility is inside the villa area, it does not restrict outsiders from visiting and viewing.

There are many peach and apricot trees planted in the distance from the lake to the roadside. March is the flowering period, and the flowers are in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

There were old men who got up earlier wearing wide-brimmed straw hats and sitting by the lake fishing with bamboo fishing poles.

Even the fish baskets at the feet and the small stool under the buttocks are made of bamboo, which is very artistic.

"Fishing in Green Bay in spring, the apricot blossoms are blooming in deep spring"

Li Xuewu was very good at saying a Tang poem in an elegant manner, squatting next to the old man and looking at it.

The fish basket was empty, not even a small fish or shrimp, which was worse than a stick stem.

"Your skills are not good. Did you come too early? The fish hasn't woken up yet."

"Are you related to the fish in this pond?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "How else do you know it hasn't woken up yet?"

After saying that, he took back the fishing rod and grabbed the hook. There was an empty hook on it. Either the fish was small or the fish was old.

The young ones cannot bite the hook, and the old ones cannot bite the hook.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the old man's counterattack, he just woke up early and had nothing to do to play with Kezi.

"I'm not related to this fish, but I know it's not alive because there are often a few tortoises in this pond that catch fish to eat, and the fish come out when they have them."

"Tsk——!"

The old man clicked his tongue, looked back at the sharp-tongued young man, and asked, "Aren't you in class? Why don't you go out and run to the restaurant so early in the morning?"

"It's early. I won't go to work until later."

Li Xuewu walked around the lake, which was a little closer to the entrance. He didn't want to go home early. His mother and Gu Ningniang were still asleep.

The old man hung up the bait and swung the hook, and asked casually: "Which company's secretary is this? So idle?"

"Not a secretary, a driver, or a driver."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "Why don't you be so idle? I will also set up a fishing rod later, watching you fishing with greed, and learn from you."

"Okay - you are good at this class!"

The old man didn't really have the same knowledge as him. Young people always wanted to be competitive, so he really didn't care about taking advantage of others verbally.

"What kind of car are you driving? Is the small car comfortable?"

"The bicycle has two wheels. It's not very comfortable. It hurts my butt when I pedal too fast."

Li Xuewu looked at the fish float on the water and kept talking: "Our leader said that when he makes progress after a year, he will add another pulley to the back to make it stable."

The corners of the old man's mouth were turning up to his ears, and he didn't know that this bad boy was talking to him.

I have never heard of a leader commuting to work by bicycle, and I have never heard of a leader who commutes by bicycle hiring a driver!

Does having a driver mean you have to have a secretary?

Where does the secretary sit?

Sit on the beam!

Thinking about it, this scene is quite surprising.

Otherwise, all the young people in Sijiucheng are very bad. If you can't feel his pulse, if you say that the front door is in the building, he will give you a crotch shaft.

"Then you leaders have potential. If you take a step forward, you can buy a wheel for your car. If you make ten steps forward, you won't be able to save enough money to commute to get off work!"

"Well, you still have potential!"

Li Xuewu squatted aside and said: "Our leaders can only think of changing to a tricycle. You dare to say that you take the train to work, but you are still in trouble!"

The old man didn't want to talk anymore. He said that this bad boy had ten words waiting for him.

I was upset and angry, the fishing line in my hand trembled, and the fish float on the water began to shake slightly.

"Isn't there a fish?"

Li Xuewu watched the fish float and sink, and reminded him softly: "You have to seize the opportunity. Fishing requires a sharp eye and quick hands. If you are slow, you will..."

“Here, I’ll give you the rod, you come and fish!”

The old man was annoyed by his verbosity, so he put the fishing rod in Li Xuewu's hand, stood up and took a step back, watching him brag.

"How embarrassing--"

Li Xuewu smiled, looked at the fishing rod in his hand and said: "If I catch the fish, it's still yours, and it's yours. I'm so worried about the loss. After all, your hands are too wet, and you haven't caught any fish all morning." .

"If it's mine, I'm younger than you. I'm sorry, boss. I'm picking up a fish for nothing."

"It's yours! Don't be vain, you do what you want!"

The old man was really stubborn. He waved his hand and signaled Li Xuewu to hurry up.

Li Xuewu was also rude, nodded with a smile, stretched out the hook and came back to hang the bait again.

Don't tell me, he really hasn't caught fish a few times. He's talking about catching real fish. The ones that catch people don't count, they can't be counted.

If I remember correctly the last few times, I should have fished once in Kunming Lake with the third uncle, and once in Steel City with Director Li and others.

That time in Kunming Lake, I almost died of autism due to the third uncle. It was the novice protection period at that time, and I caught fish.

On the contrary, Gangcheng returned to normal that time and didn't show much skill. I just don't know if this time is still considered a novice stage.

Is there a two-year novice period?

"Young people, remember to be impatient. Fishing can cultivate your body and soul, but it is too dull."

The old man stood aside with his arms folded and said, "Your poem just proves that it's not the apricot blossoms that are messed up, but your heart that is messed up."

"Shh-"

Just when the old man was talking happily, Li Xuewu turned around and made a silent gesture.

That’s not all. He reminded him: “Don’t interrupt others when they are fishing. It’s not polite.”

“I…”

The old man almost choked and fell to the ground after hearing what he said.

You know it’s not polite to interrupt others when they are fishing. Who interrupted me when I was fishing just now?

Hey! This bad boy!

“Yo——! Your bait is not good”

Li Xuewu saw the float move and his hand speed also caught up, but the fishing rod he pulled up had no strength at all, and the fish obviously escaped.

But he was really shameless. He didn’t say that his craftsmanship was not good, but only said that the old man’s bait was not good.

The old man was so angry that he didn’t say anything. He stood behind with his arms crossed and waited for him to collapse.

He also thought that if he spoke, the fish would be blamed by him if he lost it again.

Now no one should say anything. I will just watch you quietly to see if you can catch any fish!

"Neither the fishing rod nor the fishing line will work"

Li Xuewu's mouth was about to be full of complaints. He wanted to leave a way out for himself, otherwise he would have to look at the old man and say nothing if he really couldn't catch any fish.

But he couldn't let the old man jump up and call out his number, otherwise he would have to use...

"Hey! Hey! I caught a fish!"

What is this saying? God will not let a blind sparrow starve to death!

The old man who was standing behind with his arms folded and watching Li Xuewu busying around without knowing anything was stunned.

The technique of hanging the bait was wrong, the technique of throwing the line was unfamiliar, and the skill of holding the pole was not there, but he actually caught a fish!

Are the fish in this pond his relatives?

"Hey hey——! Crucian carp!"

Li Xuewu stood up and pulled up the fish, which was not big, but the crucian carp as big as a palm, with green scales flashing, jumping around, and was very happy.

He was happy, but the old man was depressed.

A blind cat meets a dead mouse, absolutely!

I have been fishing here for more than half a year, and I have never seen such a novice catch fish.

"Go on, I will learn from you--"

The old man is really stubborn. Seeing Li Xuewu looking at him proudly, he raised his chin to signal him to continue.

Li Xuewu knew that the old man was confused when he heard this.

He didn't think about it. He had left a way out when he was unsure whether he could catch the fish.

Now that he has caught the fish, what is there to be afraid of? Just do it!

"Hey--!"

Li Xuewu hung the fishhook again and threw it out, sitting on the bamboo stool leisurely.

"I am too lazy to learn to grow melons in Qingmen, and I will only spend my years fishing. Fishing is still interesting."

"Humph--fishing is still a book bag"

The old man stood behind and hummed: "Sour, young and whining, so sour."

"Hmm - it's really sour!"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and looked at the float and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have smelled it. How come it smells sour?"

"..."

The old man was speechless after being rebuked by him. He took the initiative to offer this rebuttal.

"Yohoo - I caught a fish!"

Li Xuewu was really lucky today. He was so proud that the float was not stable, but a fish bit his hook. He caught a fish not long after throwing it down.

"Hey! It's still a crucian carp, too small"

He also pretended to be dissatisfied while picking up the fish and pulling the old man, saying, "You must be better than me. You must be someone who often catches big fish."

The old man didn't say anything. He stood under the shade of the tree. The morning sun made him a little dizzy. He didn't know whether it was because of anger or the sun.

"Man, can you let me fish?"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Actually, I'm just kidding you. I'm a professional fisherman. No one in this city is better than me."

He patted the fish basket and said: "Let's stop here today. You've learned enough. If you want to learn more, you have to pay tuition."

"Fishing——! I'm not afraid of paying tuition!"

The old man is also a stubborn donkey. He can't stand people bragging the most, especially the kid in front of him. He's so annoying. He got the advantage and still acts cute!

"Show me more of your skills, and let me learn more. If you really learn the skills, I will worship you as my teacher and treat you to a teacher's wine."

"Hey, you are not a shabby person"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If I accept you as my apprentice, how can I take you out?"

"Ah, I'll take you out and introduce you as my apprentice. I'll have to take care of you until the end of your life. You're really losing out. You're not becoming my apprentice!"

"Boy! Don't be so arrogant. Show your skill with your hands."

The old man pointed at the fishing rod next to Li Xuewu with a palm leaf fan and said, "Take another shot. If you really catch something, I'll call you Master and take care of you until the end of your life."

"Aren't you cursing me?"

Li Xuewu was feeling unsure. The first shot was a fluke, and the second shot was also a fluke. How could he still catch the third shot?

He was unsure but he couldn't be unsure. He hung a bunch of bait on the hook, focusing on a probability fishing method.

He strung the bait up and lifted it high. He tried to hang two more pairs, and threw it out with the old man's sneer.

Li Xuewu thought that he would not suffer any loss whether he caught a fish or not.

The old man was a stubborn person. It was okay to tease him for fun, but it would be a waste if he got angry.

You let an old man chase you and curse you in the street, even though you don't know him very well, it's so embarrassing to say it out loud.

Ah, such a young man has nothing to do but tease an old man, how can he be so idle.

"Five minutes, if there is no fish, it means the fish has gone home for breakfast, don't blame me, I have to go back for breakfast too."

The old man listened to Li Xuewu chatting with Na, and saw that he was weak. The corners of his mouth were raised to his ears, and he smiled proudly.

"You are here, leader"

Just when the old man was in a stalemate with Li Xuewu, Li Xuewu and Yugan, Han Jiankun came.

He came down from Yong Road, greeted Li Xuewu, glanced at the frowning old man, and then walked towards Li Xuewu.

"I called from the commission office. Deputy Director Zhang, who is in charge of industry in the city, is going to the workers' new village construction site this morning to investigate and ask about your arrangements."

"What arrangements do I have? I'll just receive you as normal. What are you thinking about? Who called me? Are you out of your mind?"

Li Xuewu frowned and stared at him, and said: "This commissioned stall is too big, but its airs have fallen apart. It has lost even the ability to take charge and adapt to changes, and it almost lost the people."

After complaining, he calmed down and realized that it was useless to tell Han Jiankun.

"Is breakfast ready? If you don't want to eat, go and prepare it early. How can you hold a grudge for something like this?"

He stood up, thinking only about work, and forgot about the fishing rod in his hand. With such a twist, the fish float sank.

"Ouch, there's a fish!"

Li Xuewu stretched out the fishing rod and it felt heavy. It was still a big fish.

"Stop looking at me, let me take a walk for you. It's been a whole night, and finally there's a big one."

The old man stood aside and listened to a few words, and he probably understood them.

The young man who dared to tease me was still a leader. The person reporting here was either the secretary or the driver.

At what level can I be assigned a secretary or driver?

He was startled when he saw the fish biting the hook. When he saw Li Xuewu greeting him, he was stunned for a moment and said: "This is your fish, as promised..."

"Hurry up, it's almost noon. I have something urgent to do here."

After saying that, he saw the old man coming over and handed the fishing rod to him steadily.

The old man was also very embarrassed. He had just promised that the fish would be returned to his family, and he had to call him "Master".

Now the young man hurriedly left with the people. He was fishing with a fishing rod here, but he felt that the fish was boring.

Just say, how can we catch fish? ——

"I'm really sorry for bothering you."

Seeing Li Xuewu get out of the car, Zhang Dayong was very polite. He smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello: "I just made it last minute, I'm a little pressed for time."

"Look what you said, I made an appointment with you last time. You can come at any time and I will welcome you at any time."

Li Xuewu smiled, shook hands, and pointed to the construction site of Workers' New Village: "I took the call from the office at home and haven't gone to the factory yet."

"I don't know which part you want to see this time, so I can be mentally prepared in advance."

"You're welcome, Deputy Director Li, we are going to Liangma River for investigation today. There is a project that may be related to here, so come and take a look."

Zhang Dayong patted Li Xuewu's arm and motioned to come with him.

On the road on the bank of the Liangma River, he pointed to the wide river channel: "Actually, the Liangma River is not a big river. During the city expansion process, its arrangement and disposal were considered."

"Are we going to intercept the river and fill it up?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said, "We have never heard of this design plan in the city before."

"Besides, there is a huge difference in the impact on industry and development with this river compared to without it. The land cannot be replenished by just one river."

"Yes, you are right, we are also considering this issue."

Zhang Dayong stood under the big tree beside the road, looked at the river and said: "This idea was mainly caused by the steel rolling mill's request for land."

He pointed to the top of the Liangma River, where the steel rolling mill is across the river from the workers' new village, and said: "Fill that area in and you can get more than half of the land your factory needs."

"If you tell me this, if we fill it all the way to that end, we can not only solve the problem of the land our factory needs, but also create an additional industrial zone out of thin air."

Li Xuewu spoke a little hastily. He pointed to the slightly crude but neatly arranged equipment and facilities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and said: "When the steel rolling mill designed the entire industrial zone, this area was also included."

"It is designed with the theme of ecology combined with humanities, and it exists as a natural isolation zone between industrial areas and residential areas."

"Now that you are talking about filling in this area, the ecological theme we originally designed is no longer there. If the industrial area and the living area are really connected together, the reaction will not be as simple as one and one connection."

Li Xuewu raised his fist and bumped it to indicate: "We are facing each other across the river. Industry is industry, life is life, and the development of both sides complements each other."

"When they collide, life is mixed with industry, and industry encroaches on life, it will inevitably cause dangers, including in many aspects."

"Well, you have to take this into consideration."

Zhang Dayong stood on the shore with his hands behind his back and said: "It's still in the demonstration stage. I was passing by and gave you, Director Li, a call."

"He told me that he would arrange for a professional person to come and connect with me. I guessed it was you. You were the one who introduced me last time."

"I participated in the design of Workers' New Village"

Li Xuewu softened his tone and said: "What I am anxious about is not that the city will fill in this section, but that I have to fill in this section."

"Haha - can you guess it?"

Zhang Dayong smiled and did not go into details, but he had already given Li Xuewu a clear signal.

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said: "The location of the steel rolling mill is not an urgent or thorny issue, so why waste so much effort."

"I'm afraid that the land below is not enough, so we have to start filling it in from the beginning, right?"

"Still in the demonstration stage"

Zhang Dayong only answered this sentence, touched his face and said: "You don't have to worry, even if this thing is done, it will take a long time to get the project approved."

"Okay, I understand"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and motioned to the worker Xincun: "Let me show you the scene."

"Well, let's go and take a look."

After Zhang Dayong finished what he wanted to say, he followed Li Xuewu to the area in front of the construction site.

Li Xuewu introduced him to the layout and construction of several functional areas.

He didn't stay long, and got in the car and left after half an hour. Li Xuewu watched his car get onto the main road before returning to the car.

"Go back to the factory, hurry up!"

Li Xuewu was a little anxious, and he had no choice but to be anxious. The city came to talk about the weakness of the steel rolling mill all of a sudden.

If you don't fill it in early, you won't fill it in later. He didn't fill it in until the construction of the new village education area for steel rolling mill workers started.

Just tell me why?

Li Xuewu no longer has the intention of scolding others. He cannot say that other people's methods are shameful. He can only say that if you are controlled by others, you will inevitably suffer criticism.

Especially during this critical period, Li Huaide was active above, muddying the water, and many things were unclear.

Dealing with the city is not just a matter of one person. When Liu Xiang came, he said yes, but when the other one came, he didn't necessarily say it was great.

Moreover, the comprehensive development of steel rolling mills and the establishment of factory areas in blocks have made it difficult for the city to do so.

Li Xuewu knew very well the purpose of Zhang Dayong's visit today, which was to form a good relationship, but also to serve as a reminder and threat.

Tell the rolling mills clearly that as long as you are not afraid of changing plans, they will always have something to play with.

Unless the steel rolling mill becomes ruthless and stops the construction of the school, it will be a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At this stage, if the steel rolling mill is to develop, every penny has its necessary value.

Now that this construction site is abandoned, the next construction site will lose hundreds of thousands. This hole will always exist. Where can we dig it out?

He was in a hurry that morning because Li Huaide's attitude was unclear and made him a little anxious.

Nothing can be seen from the handling of the commission. Those people are acting according to the wishes of the leader.

The last time something happened to Cheng Kaiyuan, Li Huaide approached Zhang Dayong and Liu Xiangqian, but both of them hid.

This had to make Li Huaide feel resentful, so this time Zhang Dayong came to investigate, but he didn't see him and didn't give him any face.

Listening to what Zhang Dayong said just now, he was already expressing his dissatisfaction.

They are the competent authority, and they are still in charge of the steel rolling mill. If they want to see you, they will see you. If something happens to you, it is normal for them to hide.

If I really see you and don't do anything for you, it won't look good on both sides.

The city is the only one showing attitude, not your steel rolling mill. Why do you still want us to apologize to you?

Li Xuewu felt that Lao Li seemed a little anxious because he was under too much pressure and had too many things recently.

The pressure made him grumpy, and he seemed eager to deal with some things.

If Zhang Dayong had communicated in advance today and came to investigate at normal times, maybe Li Huaide could really see him.

Even if he arranged for Jing Yunong to come and meet him, it would still be a good deal in terms of face.

Letting Li Xuewu come here was really left to Zhang Dayong, and his attitude was clearly expressed to the city.

Sitting in the command car, Li Xuewu was also very annoyed. It was really difficult to do something.

What to do if it’s difficult? Is it possible that we can’t do anything?

He was annoyed with the factory's attitude towards this matter, and also annoyed with the city's too reluctant and picky attitude towards the steel rolling mill.

In fact, it is not necessary. It is nothing more than a shot to get the first start, so as to prevent the steel rolling mill from setting a bad example and setting a bad start for other industrial plants.

If trouble really breaks out, and the steel rolling mill really arranges to move its industrial headquarters to Tianjin or Steel City, then the pressure the city will bear is no less than that of the steel rolling mill.

If the fire is too big, no one will think about it when the board falls. Zhang Dayong knows it, and Liu Xiangqian also knows it.

Now it depends on who stands on the edge first and who compromises first.

Li Xuewu couldn't wait. He knew that Lao Li would not bow his head. He was also a stubborn donkey.

You see, he is usually very easy to talk to in business, but in fact, he really cares about face.

What's stuck now is face. You asked him to plan for groupization, to bow his head when his spirits are high?

If you want to fight, fight well and drive your horse. Li Xuewu never fights an unprepared battle.

He had to support Lao Li in this game, even if he had to save face and suffer the consequences, he had to get through this.

——

"What do you mean city?"

As soon as Jing Yunong came out of the office, he saw Li Xuewu going upstairs.

She stood at the door and waited for him for a while, then asked about the reception work in the morning.

After Li Xuewu came back, he did not come to Li Huaide to report first. Instead, he went back to his office and called several key contacts for verification.

First, I asked Ren Xiaoyu, and the other party checked and said that this project was not communicated and promoted through the government office, but was handled by Deputy Director Zhang.

Li Xuewu frowned when he heard this, and then asked Ren Xiaoyu some details.

After hanging up the phone, he did not call his godfather Zheng Shusen. It was related to specific work, especially if someone took the initiative to promote it, so it was not easy to embarrass him.

As long as you ask, your godfather will definitely ask. Once you pay attention, you will be alerted by the other party.

At that time, this matter will be even more difficult to deal with. The result of mixing work and human relationships will become more and more chaotic.

Especially now Li Xuewu is not sure how cruel Lao Li can be.

If Lao Li chooses to compromise in advance, then the relationship he entrusted will be hidden, which will be embarrassing.

Now we should focus on inquiring, ask clearly about the other party's intentions and reality, master first-hand information, and then communicate and report to Li Huaide.

Otherwise, if you just talk about the situation this morning without giving any clues or the background relationship of the matter, what is the use of the leader asking you to do it?

"It's a bit troublesome, I asked around"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said to Jing Yunong, "Let's go and talk to Director Li. I'm afraid the leader will have to personally intervene."

"Is it also related to the location of the new steel rolling mill? I heard the city complained about it last time."

Jing Yunong also said with worried eyes: "I told Director Li about this matter. As long as the steel rolling mill makes big moves, it will already affect this nerve, especially when it needs the support of the city."

"It's not just this matter. I'm afraid Deputy Director Zhang came to visit unexpectedly today and had ulterior motives."

Li Xuewu squinted his left eye slightly, shook his head gently at Jing Yunong, and then knocked on Li Huaide's door.

"Come, Comrade Yunong, learn martial arts."

Li Huaide was reading documents and stood up from his seat when he heard the two voices.

"Leader, let me report to you on the reception work in the morning."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to say hello, and with Li Huaide's concession, he asked Jing Yunong to sit down first, and then he sat next to her on the couch.

"Hayang told me about this just now, saying that you were back."

While Li Haiyang was serving tea to them, Li Huaide crossed his right leg and combed his hair and said, "I was thinking that something must have happened if you didn't come directly to my place."

“The situation is quite troublesome.”

Li Xuewu followed his words and said: "Deputy Director Zhang told a situation. The city is preparing to respond to the steel rolling mill's land application and fill in a section of the Liangma River from near the factory area."

"Haha - it turns out that this is what I worked on for a long time!"

Li Huaide snorted coldly and nodded without showing too much surprise or anger.

He leaned on the armrest, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Fill it in, we will take as much as they fill it in, and we will continue to take it after he fills it out."

It seemed as if he was getting angry, but also seemed to have made up his mind. Under his seemingly calm appearance, he already had an opinion on this matter.

"As long as the river continues, we will move the factory to the river. I don't believe it can fill up the entire Liangma River!"

"Leader, this matter should be more than just filling the river and building land, I'm afraid."

Li Xuewu expressed his worries: "This time we are making a fuss in the name of our land. If next time, the land replacement work opposite encounters setbacks, we will be passive."

"Well, I know, this matter does not involve Zhang Dayong and has nothing to do with him directly."

Li Huaide frowned, lowered his head slightly and said, "Have you asked the Ministry of Industry?"

He looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "What did they say? This project has been declared above, and the land application has been put up together."

"I just called Liu Shaozong and he said he was asking. It's hard to talk about this matter right now."

Li Xuewu knew that Li Huaide would ask him this, so he was very prepared and said: "I asked the city privately, but the situation is unclear."

"They said that this matter was promoted by Deputy Director Zhang and there was no work process."

He glanced at Jing Yunong and then continued to report: "Deputy Director Zhang mentioned vaguely in the morning that this project is still under investigation and discussion, and the launch date is uncertain."

"He's telling lies. Do you believe him?"

Li Huaide drooped his eyelids and said, "It's not up to them to decide how long the argument will take and how much investment they will make. The Liangma River is right there, and it won't run away on its own. He is using this as a straitjacket."

"How about I coordinate with the engineering team and come up with a backup plan to deal with this situation?"

Li Xuewu explained: “We have made preparation plans for river drying, congestion, closure, etc., but we have not considered landfilling.”

This situation is really complicated. The Liangma River is very wide and was used to transport canals. Even after so many years, it is still in use.

Sometimes the steel rolling mill will use river transportation to this side, directly connecting the river to Jinmen.

When it comes to filling rivers and creating land, only the city can think of it. Most people really don't have this power. After all, the investment is huge.

Li Huaide waved his hand and said: "It's useless, it can't be prevented, it can't be blocked, as you said, no matter how many plans you design, it will be useless."

He lightly punched the armrest of the sofa and said: "If it doesn't work, cancel the construction plan. The school project is no longer needed and we will continue to use it as a goods yard."

"Leader, the loss is too great"

Li Xuewu frowned and said: "The initial investment there has already cost no less than 200,000 yuan. If..."

"Don't think so. The lesson of 200,000 yuan is not a big lesson, at least not for us."

Li Huaide said forcefully: "You organize it and make an application report first, saying that because the city has made adjustments to the land planning, the steel rolling mill has to make a response plan."

"Stop all investments in the Liangma River Industrial Zone, stop all mergers and land replacements, notify the city of cancellation of land applications, and cancel construction applications."

"At the same time, the application report submitted to the Ministry of Industry clearly pointed out that the Ministry needs to coordinate and select a new industrial zone address in Hebei Province or other provinces in Central China. We can sell the land here and move."

"Director Li, there is no need to rush this matter."

Jing Yunong persuaded: "After all, the city has only given a suggestion for discussion. If we overreact, the impact will be too great."

"He does it on the first day of the month, and I will do it on the fifteenth!"

Li Huaide waved his hand to suppress it, and explained: "Submitting an application is just a runway. The suspension of construction sites will at most lose some progress."

"But we must make a necessary and strong response to this kind of temptation. We can't let him get ahead of us and cause trouble again and again!"

He pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "Let's do it this way. After notifying the city, you will contact Hebei Province and Henan Province to ask if they are willing to accept the relocation of the steel mill."

"Yes, leader, I will do it now."

Li Xuewu nodded, made a note on his notebook, looked at Jing Yunong, and then got up and left.

He hoped that Jing Yunong could communicate with Li Huaide after he left. Even if he wanted to create momentum and make threats, he had to control the scope of influence. When things really got out of hand, no one would have a good time.

Indeed, if the several reports and applications of the steel mill were submitted, the higher-ups would be furious.

Forcing the factory to stop construction and forcing large industrial enterprises to leave would affect economic construction, especially disrupting the economic deployment of heavy industrial transformation comprehensive enterprises that the ministry and even the higher-ups focused on this year.

While facing the problems of loss of industrial base, loss of industrial structure, and damage to employment channels for personnel, the city also had to face the questions and pressure from the higher-ups.

It is conceivable that Zhang Dayong, who took the initiative to promote this project, could not bear all this, and even Liu Xiangqian, who was in charge of the main work, could not bear Li Huaide's anger this time.

But, should this be done?

In Li Xuewu's opinion, the external situation currently facing the steel mill is somewhat complicated, and many difficulties limit the development space of the steel mill.

If, driven by interests and influence, more departments impose excessive requirements and restrictions on the steel mill during its transformation and development, then the steel mill will be exhausted.

Therefore, from Li Xuewu's point of view, it is necessary for Lao Li to implement the strategy of hitting the first punch to avoid a hundred punches.

The key is to see whether it can be controlled to a certain extent, or the strength.

This punch was thrown without scruples, and it is very likely to cripple Zhang Dayong, cripple Liu Xiangqian, and even knock down many people.

As a result, the land of the steel mill was obtained, and the river at the door was saved, but Li Huaide's position was going to collapse, and the position of the steel mill was embarrassing.

Li Huaide is of course still the person in charge of the steel mill, but after the upgrade and groupization, the higher-ups will not allow a person who dares to smash the pot to be the manager.

Lao Li made this decision out of necessity. If he didn't do this, he couldn't control the situation inside the steel mill. If he did this, he might not be able to withstand the situation outside.

Li Xuewu was also worried about his decision and could only give his greatest support in the implementation of the specific work.

He wrote the application reports to the Ministry of Industry, the city and relevant leaders himself, and was extremely careful in the choice of words, striving to be safe.

At the same time, he had to fully express Li Huaide's attitude and the attitude of the steel rolling mill.

After the application was written, he checked it several times and asked Peng Xiaoli to submit it to Li Huaide's office for review.

After reading several applications, Li Huaide signed at the back and said that he would bear the consequences of this action.

Jing Yunong, who was talking to him in the office, looked at him and also picked up a pen to sign his name at the back of the document.

The document was handed over to the management committee office. Several leaders who heard about this matter went to the committee office to sign their names before the document was sent.

Even the union leader Kumamoto Chengdu, who had been recuperating in the hospital, "overcame" physical difficulties and took the initiative to come to the committee office to sign despite his "illness".

This time, the application documents were not sent to these leaders, but they had their own persistence and understanding of signing.

The steel mill has always been a united collective, and the management team is also united.

At this critical moment of external relations, they should not and cannot let Li Huaide bear all the pressure alone.

The meaning of Li Huaide's signature is of course different from the signature of all the members of the steel mill management team.

Just when Li Xuewu called the leadership office in charge of industry in Hebei Province and Henan Province for consultation, and promised to give a detailed consultation letter after the telephone contact, the reaction from above came down.

First, Liu Shaozong, who received the application report, called Li Xuewu. The first sentence was "You are crazy!" The second sentence was "What is your factory going to do?"

Li Xuewu ignored his questioning, but reiterated the authenticity and significance of the application report.

This let Liu Shaozong know that the steel mill was going to be serious this time. It was not accurate to say that the fish would die and the net would be broken, because the steel mill, this fish, would be treated as a treasure if it swam away from the capital to other provinces, and it would not die.

At most, some construction costs would be lost, but the preferential conditions given by other provinces were not worth mentioning at all.

But it was troublesome for Zhang Dayong and Liu Xiangqian, who were in charge of industry. This network must be broken.

Without getting definite feedback from Li Xuewu, Liu Shaozong could only pass the application report up one level at a time.

I don’t know where it was passed to, but the leaders of the factory basically received inquiry calls from above.

Especially Li Huaide, he received the most calls, but his answers were basically the same.

The wording of the report written by Li Xuewu was very precise. Li Huaide had a backup in his hand. When he answered the leader's questions, the core meaning was based on this.

Do not complain, do not say grievances, speak directly to the facts, from the perspective of harmonious coexistence of humanities education, industrial development, and ecological construction, make this decision on the ecological damage and economic losses caused by the expansion of the steel mill.

Li Huaide did not complain a word on the phone, his tone was guilty and sad.

It is a pity that the steel mill did not bring more development power to Beijing, and it is even more sad because the development of the factory has affected the construction of ecological balance.

Therefore, he was also very guilty. When the steel mill was at a critical stage of change and transformation, he reluctantly made the decision to relocate.

With the purpose of protecting the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone, it is not hesitant to give up its own development time and space to maintain the health of this land and water.

After saying this, even if the leaders above knew what was going on, they could not say the words of reprimand.

He could only ask about the details and the scale of the project the steel mill was going to build on both sides of the Liangma River before hanging up the phone.

The steel mill had stirred up a hornet's nest that day. Zhang Dayong, who was considered to be the one who had stirred up a hornet's nest, called Li Huaide but he didn't answer. He also called Li Xuewu but he didn't answer.

He knew that things had gotten serious and someone was going to be screwed.
