Men and Women Eating in the Courtyard

Chapter 1063 Strong Winds and Rough Waves

There is a ventriloquist in the capital, her surname is Zhang and her name is Songying.

Li Xuewu never knew that she had such a skill, and he didn't know whether she was hiding it on purpose or working hard secretly, anyway, it was very unexpected.

Li Xuewu felt that he shouldn't be too harsh on a person who could withstand pressure and was positive!

After a night of hard work, Zhang Songying went to the bathroom, and Li Xuewu lay there thinking about tonight's dinner.

The wife of the deputy ambassador of the foreign embassy has an industrial layout in the port city, and she also has to manage the business markets of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

Even a simple business meeting can invite economic and cultural commissioners to accompany her.

It is impossible to say that Li Xuewu is not tempted by this woman. He can only calculate the steel mill, but not the woman?

How can there be such a reason in this world!

Of course, Li Xuewu is not coveting the other party's exotic customs as the old readers think, but the relationship she represents behind.

Chantal thinks that the channels for goods and funds established by the rolling mill and Wufenghang in the mainland and the port city are very attractive.

Then, Li Xuewu also thinks that she has commercial influence in Southeast Asian countries such as Ben, Nanhan and Lijiapo.

Don't forget that France is the first Western European country to establish normalized foreign relations with the mainland.

One is an unruly ally that challenges the hegemony of the United States on a global scale; the other is a "big family member" who does not obey the baton and openly derails.

The joint communiqué issued in 1964 can be said to be a thunderclap that has shocked many people.

It is precisely because France took the lead in taking the first step to recognize us that other Western European countries put down their fears and changed their positions and attitudes towards us.

Therefore, Chantal has a positive advantage both in specific business and in the cooperation situation between countries.

Li Xuewu must of course admit that the confidence expressed by the other party when talking about machinery, automobiles, electronics and other fields is sufficient.

Even if France does not have such advanced industrial strength now, it does not mean that they cannot have it, but they just do not need it.

The land area of ​​Western European countries is too small, and the distribution of resources is extremely uneven.

If you have learned about the national territory of ancient Western Europe, you will know that it is completely the relationship between villages, and the capital is the duke's castle.

The story of the twelve knights does not necessarily mean that the twelve knights lead the charge. It is very likely that there are only twelve knights on one side of the battlefield.

It is precisely because of the fragmented territory and the history of constant disputes that the current trade pattern with mature industrial division of labor and cooperation has been created.

Everyone is responsible for manufacturing and selling what they need based on their own resources, and no one suffers or is fooled.

This is different from the national conditions in the mainland. Here, Chantal learned that the production base required for industrial trade has basically been fully covered here.

Especially after years of development and progress, the 156 industrial projects provided by Maozi.

The industrial production capacity of the steel mill alone has shocked her.

After learning that the steel mill had actually begun to accumulate the development foundation of heavy and light industries and was developing into a trust-type group company, her incomprehension and shock made her choose to stay.

A group company with heavy industrial production capacity such as steelmaking, steel rolling, and manufacturing, as well as light industrial production capacity such as weapons, food, and electronics.

These symbols and logos are spliced ​​together. Isn't it enough for her to take the initiative to work closely with it?

Li Xuewu also started thinking based on this point. From Chantal's perspective, he stood in France and looked inland, and then stood in the inland to look at the port city and the whole Southeast Asia.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Songying came out of the bathroom with a bath towel and wiped her hair. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Li Xuewu sitting up from the bed, which scared her.

If she hadn't seen Li Xuewu squinting and staring at the painting on the wall, she would have thought he was coming again.

This person's hard power is really unbearable for her, really unbearable.

After Li Xuewu sat there for a long time, she came over and asked softly, "Did you forget to arrange something?"

"No, no, not..."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, sorting out his thoughts, his eyes rolling around.

Zhang Songying knew that he was going to plot against someone again, shrugged his shoulders, and went to the dressing table.

Looking at the man sitting on the bed from the square makeup mirror, she was happy and looking forward to it.

Being able to represent the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to be responsible for foreign affairs reception, and even to negotiate important project cooperation with foreign businessmen, this means that Li Xuewu has gradually moved towards the management position of the factory leader.

Even if he is not a factory leader now, as long as he has enough influence, it is not a matter of time before he gets to the position.

Zhang Songying did not expect Li Xuewu to bring her more wealth and status after he reached a high position. This was not her original intention and heart to be with Li Xuewu.

She liked the emotional value of watching the man she liked step by step to the top.

"Do I need to wipe things after going to bed at night?"

Li Xuewu sorted out his thoughts, got out of bed, put on a nightgown, and walked to the desk and sat down.

Don't get me wrong, it's the laces on the nightgown that are clacking, not what you think.

Only the ones that are particularly long and useless are called clacking, and the ones that are of appropriate length and useful are called swinging.

Of course, what you think is swinging, but it's not as long as the laces.

Zhang Songying took some white cream from a small bottle and rubbed it on her face, saying, "I'm going to sleep so I have to put this on."

She tilted her head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Have I aged a lot? You don't even look at me."

"Yeah - it seems I've aged a lot!"

Li Xuewu looked at her seriously for a while, and nodded at Zhang Songying's pouting expression and asked, "You look about 18 years old, right?"

"Puff - hahaha! Go to hell!"

Zhang Songying's original concern disappeared at this moment, and she couldn't help laughing out loud. She couldn't stand Li Xuewu's mouth.

Of course, Li Xuewu couldn't stand her either.

"Hmph - you just know how to coax me!"

She glanced at Li Xuewu with a seductive look and snorted, "If I wasn't eighteen, would you dare to stay at the International Hotel tonight? You would have run away long ago-"

"Just kidding, eighteen is not a restriction for me, nineteen is!"

Li Xuewu took out the manuscript paper provided by the hotel from the drawer, and took his own pen to start writing the report document.

He had just sorted out his thoughts and wanted to put them on paper, and talk to Li Huaide and Jing Yunong about it when he went on a business trip to Tianjin tomorrow.

Zhang Songying combed her dry hair in the mirror and asked, "Why nineteen?"

"Because I came back at the age of nineteen, in 1965"

After writing the first sentence, Li Xuewu looked up at her and said, "Before I left in 1962, I didn't know what restriction meant."

"Huh - so you are such a person!"

Zhang Songying pretended to be disgusted and smiled, saying, "I thought you were an excellent young man who studied hard and was positive since childhood."

"How is that possible? If you want to say that, it should be a good boy. Youth is the wrong word."

Li Xuewu's ability to do two things at the same time can definitely satisfy him to chat with Zhang Songying while writing the report in his hand.

"Besides, as the successor of socialism, I have been a good child since I was young, but I just haven't met a good person."

"Ah-who is not a good person!"

Zhang Songying scolded him, then used a hairpin to hold her long hair, and said: "It turns out that I have influenced you badly."

"You are also suspicious. When did I say that? What I mean is how difficult it is to get to this point today."

Li Xuewu writes very quickly. The article is already in his mind, and he just needs to put it into writing.

Zhang Songying took off her pajamas, changed into a silk short skirt pajamas that she often wore, and walked to the desk.

"I'm going to Tianjin tomorrow, and I still have to write a report? Can't I write it when I come back?"

"It's because I'm going to Tianjin that I have to finish it tonight."

Li Xuewu explained: "As long as I'm on a business trip, I won't have time to deal with these paperwork."

"Oh, by the way--"

He looked up at Zhang Songying and asked: "Is there anything you need me to buy for you? Think about it and tell me."

"Can Tianjin have more goods than Beijing?"

Zhang Songying sat on the chair opposite the desk to accompany him without caring, and said: "Even if there are new things, how much better than Beijing, it's just a novelty."

"You are on a business trip, and you are so busy." She muttered with understanding: "It's so hard to be responsible for the big things of the steel mill, and then think about my insignificant little things."

"Do you still drink tea?"

After taking a look at Li Xuewu, I always felt that something was missing on the table. After thinking carefully, I remembered that he hadn't prepared tea for work.

However, Li Xuewu did drink two cups of warm water during the intermission, and it was so late, so I didn't want him to drink tea again, so I asked this question.

Li Xuewu nodded and said casually: "I'll listen to you, anything is fine."

"Then let's have boiled water, it's very late."

After Zhang Songying said that, she went to the tea cabinet and poured two cups of warm water and put them on the table.

"I heard that the factory and Jinmen Aquatic Products Company have established a new seafood product supply chain, right?"

She seemed to say casually: "The restaurant procurement report said that the factory has separated this business from the joint trade and established a separate channel for management."

"Well, it's not separated from the joint trade, nor is it a separate channel."

Li Xuewu replied while writing: "The joint trade still maintains the original trend of increasing share of seafood product trade."

He glanced at Zhang Songying opposite him, and then continued to write, explaining: "It's just that the source channels of seafood at the distribution terminal have been enriched."

"On the basis of the joint trade, a channel has been added to serve international hotels with special needs for fresh seafood."

"Oh - that's what I said"

Zhang Songying raised her hand and touched her neck and said: "If United Trade cancels the seafood trade, the service department of the factory will no longer sell seafood."

"Well, the service direction is different, there is no direct relationship. It's something made in Tianjin, and our factory is responsible for transportation."

After explaining, Li Xuewu did not continue the topic, but took the initiative to ask about the management of the International Hotel, and also told her about introducing a cadre from the foreign affairs department to take up a temporary position.

"Difficulties, there are always"

Zhang Songying thought for a while and said: "Whether it is business, logistics, or service."

"But I can still cope with it. I'll communicate and solve it slowly. I can't trouble you with everything."

She looked at Li Xuewu and advised him distressedly: "I've heard it all. You've been busy lately, your workload has doubled, and I have to come to you for everything."

"Don't push yourself too hard. There are so many cadres in the steel rolling mill who are not just free earners. They should be pushed and released. Don't be too tired."

"Well, I understand. It should get better after a while. There are a lot of things going on this season."

Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "Do you have any opinions about the vice president?"

"I don't have any objections. It all depends on the factory's arrangements. It's a good thing to have someone to share the work with. I haven't been home for a month."

Zhang Songying said: "If there is a cadre from the foreign affairs department who takes up the post of vice president, it will be much more convenient for the International Hotel's external business."

"Also, employee learning and intelligence collection can be carried out smoothly."

The intelligence gathering she is talking about here is not that special in the conventional sense.

Information can refer to materials useful for international hotel management and services, or foreign publications and impurities that increase service quality, etc.

Li Xuewuke never arranged for Zhang Songying to do any special business at the International Hotel.

When Ji Weidong wanted to drag him along, he didn't want to be directly related or involved with the other party, just like he wouldn't do those things in a place like the International Hotel.

Of course, just because he doesn't do it, and the Red Star Factory doesn't do it, doesn't mean that the Investigation Department and other departments don't do it. As far as Zhang Songying knew, someone was collecting information on the residence and life of foreign affairs personnel at the International Hotel.

This point will be encountered in any hotel serving foreigners in the mainland, so there is no need to make a fuss.

"The person I am contacting for the time being is Deputy Director Zhou Gancheng who is coming here tonight with the foreign businessmen."

Li Xuewu told Zhang Songying: "When the matter is finalized, you should communicate and contact him more. If you need foreign affairs work, you can mention it to him."

"Well, I understand."

Zhang Songying looked at Li Xuewu and asked tentatively: "I heard that our factory has recruited many new college students this year. Is it convenient to arrange for a few to come to the International Hotel for internship and work?"

"Why do you suddenly think of becoming a college student?"

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at her, and said funnyly: "A lot of people, young and old, have made this request to me recently."

“Both the directors of the Technology Department and the Personnel Department said they need a few new college students to enrich the cadre reserve.”

"What?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does the International Hotel also need to improve its cadre reserves?"

"Of course we do. Everyone wants high-quality management talents."

Zhang Songying emphasized, and then explained with some helplessness: "The middle and high-level cadres of the International Hotel are all transferred from the factory."

"Business can be mastered and understood through learning and training, but it is a bit difficult to improve on this basis. After all, the foundation is here."

"Well, if an enterprise wants to develop, its comprehensive strength must be fully promoted."

Li Xuewu nodded, wrote a document and said: "I understand your request. I will discuss it with Director Ding later and select several universities with corresponding majors depending on the situation."

"Then thank you, Deputy Director Li."

Zhang Songying thanked him happily, and seeing Li Xuewu not paying attention, he slid down from the chair and got under the table.

"Hi——! Monster!"

——

The spring breeze in Jinmen still blew on the faces of the people in the steel rolling mill.

After coming out of the train station, Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide and Jing Yunong in a car.

Zhuang Cangshu, who came to pick them up at the station, was a little disappointed when he didn't get into the car.

Of course, this is normal. The leaders want to talk about work. Since they have all come to Tianjin, he has plenty of time to report.

On the second Volga M24 sedan in the convoy, Li Xuewu was talking about what happened last night while leaning sideways.

Of course it's not about Zhang Songying, it's about Chantal and the other two French women.

hiss--

It seems easier to misunderstand this way...

"Since their withdrawal from Annan, their influence in Southeast Asia has been far less than before."

"It was more than ten years ago, I still remember"

Li Huaide nodded and said: "At that time, it was written in the newspapers that it was a victory for the people."

This bus got out relatively early, and Li Huaide, the three of them, and the accompanying cadres and office staff were all a little bit rude when they got on the bus.

In particular, Li Huaide's energy was seriously lacking. He didn't know what bad things he did last night.

He was not in the mood to listen to the report, and it was not appropriate to just tell it to Jing Yunong alone.

Therefore, it was not until before getting off the bus that Li Xuewu handed over the report document that "Strong" had written last night to Li Huaide and Jing Yunong.

After getting off the car, he continued to make a more detailed report and analysis on the matter to the two people.

"You're still evil, right?"

Li Huaide looked at the report in his hand, and finally felt a little energetic as the sun shone in from the car window.

Li Xuewu looked at him and was a little worried that he would die before he left the army. The goal of grouping was achieved, but Lei was in trouble before he could stand up to the enemy.

Is it true that Zhou Miaomiao is also young and ignorant, and does not understand the hard truth of sustainable development?

With her body type, if she hadn't quit smoking and drank tonic, she wouldn't have been sucked dry.

Why don't you go back and give Lao Li some more?

There are too many loopholes in this body, plus there is an unknown person sucking it. If you don't increase the amount of supplements, you will be exhausted at your "work" position sooner or later.

Director Li has really worked hard and devoted himself to this matter, but don't give up now.

You said that Li Xuewu should take care of Zhou Miaomiao?

How can he do that? She is so young, how can you take care of her normal things?

Can Li Xuewu send you to fill the missing loopholes?

"So I guess that on the basis of the overall cooperation of foreign affairs easing, especially under the convenient conditions of having foreign affairs supervision business"

Li Xuewu introduced: "They want to rebuild their influence on Southeast Asia through industrial manufacturing and trade economic network."

In fact, in Li Huaide's view, this matter is likely to be just Li Xuewu's speculation and evaluation on this matter and background relationship.

But in Li Xuewu's own judgment, this is the fact.

In the 21st century, you know that it is the era of the Internet, but in the middle of the 20th century, it was still the world of industrial productivity and trade relationship network.

It can be said that whoever holds the right to world trade has the right to speak on the world.

This unspoken rule comes from the Age of Discovery, when the communication of information and the exchange of goods depended entirely on ship transportation.

In recent years, the communication and exchange of information has entered a stage of rapid development, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day.

But it cannot be defined as the information age of the 1980s and 1990s, because the convenience of information transmission at that time was far from meeting this requirement.

As far as the mainland is concerned, there are only tens of thousands of telephones across the country. Do you dare to say that this is the information age?

In terms of business connections, the mainland and the port city still need face-to-face exchanges and communication. Do you dare to say that this is the information age?

Therefore, this period is at the dawn of the information age.

Of course, this is a stage-by-stage issue from a historical perspective, and it cannot be imprinted in the minds of Li Huaide and Jing Yunong.

But there is no doubt that production and trade will become the two most important economic pillars of this century as proposed by Li Xuewu in his report.

Think about it carefully.

Why did the WTO not allow the mainland to join until the 1990s?

Think again, why should we actively join the WTO?

And after ushering in rapid economic development after joining the WTO, we actively formed a new economic cooperation organization when our national strength increased?

On the one hand, we can join the WTO because we have seen the necessity of foreign trade in economic development, so we have made great efforts.

On the other hand, the influence of some countries in the WTO has gradually shrunk, and the obstacles to the mainland have been reduced as the national strength has increased.

Finally, they have eaten this cake for decades, and the major production and trading countries have long consolidated their dominant position in the global economy.

So you say, when the French woman Chantal saw that the mainland had a highly rich industrial base and did not have the ability to trade with foreign countries, what did she think of?

Isn't this the borrowing chicken to lay eggs that Li Xuewu often plays, and even plays now.

In the past, he borrowed other people's chickens to lay eggs for himself, and now Chantal wants to borrow chickens from the steel mill to lay eggs for her.

Chantal is a more ruthless character than Li Xuewu, because of her identity and the inherent advantages of an international trader, she wants to use the chicken of the steel mill to produce more, better and cheaper eggs, drive the Southeast Asian market to abandon local eggs, and let these countries gradually rely on their trade network in the future.

Only by listening to them can the normal operation of industry and people's livelihood be maintained.

The game between big countries is warm and gentle when it is positive and harmful when it is negative.

Li Huaide looked at the report in his hand and listened to his explanation. Anyway, he cursed in his heart.

This woman is really not a good person!

Then do you think her investment and contribution to the mainland is kind?

Cultural Commissioner Jima Roman and Chantal expressed their keen concern for the construction of a new era ecological industrial zone at the source of Liangma River by the rolling mill.

Chantal proposed that as the basis of cooperation and friendship, she will actively participate in the construction of this project, provide construction machinery and equipment, design and technology, and even funds.

Is this a manifestation of friendship?

Yes, of course. When Li Xuewu reported this to Li Huaide and Jing Yunong, he also confirmed the other party's good intentions and good intentions.

But if they are not of the same kind, their hearts must be different.

Even if they are of the same kind, their hearts are the same?

How many people in the future will be willing to spend a few dollars given by their father-in-law on the Internet and dare to attack others wantonly, really thinking that the Internet is a lawless place.

My father even said openly that these people were cheap and servile. Some people even lowered their status to compete for these bones and treated this thing as a business.

They dared to sell their souls for a few dollars, and dared to hurt others for personal interests and enjoyment. Do you think they are human or dogs?

Don’t say you don’t know or don’t know. They are all people who have completed nine years of compulsory education. If they don’t know that scolding others is wrong, what is the difference between them and dogs?

Li Xuewu is suspicious of everyone, especially people like Chantal who come to the mainland with obvious interests.

The culture of one country entering another country can be described as exchange or invasion.

If you use other people’s machinery and equipment, you have to learn their operating specifications and processes.

If you use other people’s technology and design, you have to understand their cultural origins and characteristics.

Li Huaide thought that Li Xuewu’s analysis and judgment were a bit exaggerated.

But after his spirit recovered, his IQ also regained the high ground. He remembered that Li Xuewu had never failed, and he knew that he had to trust him this time.

Lao Li has suffered a lot in this regard. He failed to listen to Li Xuewu several times, and he suffered a big sin.

After experiencing the benefits of listening to Li Xuewu's suggestions several times, he has become accustomed to asking Li Xuewu about everything, so this time he still values ​​his opinion.

"Where's Comrade Yunong? Let's talk about it."

Li Huaide put down the document in his hand and said seriously: "Opportunities and dangers coexist, which are truly reflected in foreign trade work."

"This is the inevitable result. I had expected it, but I didn't expect that the opponent's angle of attack would be so tricky."

Jing Yunong glanced at the document and then closed it. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is not a simple sugar-coated cannonball. Eat the sugarcoat and hit the cannonball back."

"Chantal wants to fully grasp the initiative and voice in cooperation."

She patted the document on her lap lightly and said: "If I guess correctly, she has been investigating the industrial production base of the steel rolling mill, the trade cooperation environment, and the cooperation with other joint enterprises for a while."

"On this basis, she must be fully prepared, including various technologies, equipment and professional services that can be provided."

Jing Yunong was like a fish seeing bait, hesitating and extremely embarrassed.

Li Huaide breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Li Xuewu and asked calmly: "What do you think?"

"I insist on a dual attitude of cooperation and caution, haha——"

Li Xuewu also knew the logical contradiction in his words, and explained with a chuckle: "The opportunity is rare, and such cooperation should not be given up."

"I also really hope that the steel rolling mill can complete this cooperation."

Jing Yunong interjected: "With the foundation for the comprehensive development of light and heavy industries, we have continuous foreign trade channels, and we have financial cooperation with the Port City Unicom."

She looked at Li Xuewu and Li Huaide and shook her head slightly: "If we have more direct and powerful partners on the basis of these many conveniences, the development of our factory will really take off."

"You can see higher and further when you fly, but it is also more dangerous. After all, your feet are not touching the ground."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "This is what I mean by caution. When faced with cultural differences, communication differences, and even differences in mutual trust and trade that arise during cooperation, we must treat them with caution, otherwise disputes may arise. ".

"Well, Chantal must have used her personal connections to break through France's trade barriers to technology exports. Now it's up to us to do something."

Li Huaide nodded and said: "I have one attitude on this matter. Cooperation is okay, but losses cannot be taken. I, Lao Li, have never made a loss-making business."

——

After half a year of development and construction, the Jinmen Trade Management Center has begun to take shape.

Reasonable planning and construction have been made comprehensively from the aspects of personnel, finance, business and other aspects.

Compared with the relatively solid personnel system of the steel rolling mill, this is a new unit, so it naturally has a new atmosphere.

Both Li Huaide and Jing Yunong have high hopes for the trading work of the steel rolling mill.

The person in charge of the Jinmen Trade Management Center is Zhuang Cangshu, the former deputy director of sales.

The leader of the management center is Li Xuewu, and Zhuang Cangshu reports directly to Li Xuewu, which shows that Li Huaide attaches great importance to this place.

In the steel rolling mill, those who can directly talk to Li Xuewu about business work are basically team leader-level cadres.

The deputy team leader level all reports to the same team leader, so naturally Li Xuewu is nowhere to be found.

At the Tianjin Trade Management Center, Li Huaide and Jing Yunong saw what the steel rolling mill would look like in the future after completing institutional reforms and innovations such as office systems and financial systems.

The commercial atmosphere here is stronger, breaking the traditional administrative management routine, and fully serving the trade itself and the joint units.

This is more like an on-the-ground trade market created by the steel rolling mill.

In the joint office on the second floor, a number of cooperative units and enterprises have arranged for permanent personnel to be responsible for business-to-business docking work.

The Trade Management Center provides them with office environment, accommodation and dining service conditions, and also provides guidance and assistance in trade cooperation.

Accompanied by Zhuang Cangshu, Li Huaide and his party inspected key departments of the Trade Management Center and held symposiums with relevant staff.

The symposiums of this era are fundamentally different from the Hello Everyone meetings of later generations.

At this time, factory workers really dared to make suggestions and requests to factory leaders.

Of course, if you ask about issuing extra bathing tickets and handling invoices, they won't mention it.

They are all young people with ideals and pursuits. They work wholeheartedly for the good of the collective and for the progress and development of the unit.

The representatives who participated in the symposium proactively reported the work here to the leaders from the main factory and put forward valuable opinions on specific work.

Regarding highly professional opinions, Li Xuewu, as the leader in charge, directly coordinated and communicated with the participating management center cadres to resolve the issues.

As for the extensive suggestions and opinions, Li Huaide asked the central management office to register them and take these issues back for careful study.

Employees who dare to ask and speak, and leaders who dare to ask and act are the best strategies for enterprise development.

At noon, Li Huaide took the initiative to refuse the reception banquet arranged by Zhuang Cangshu and took Jing Yunong, Li Xuewu and other rolling mill staff to the staff canteen for lunch.

I have to say that it makes sense to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and to rely on the sea to eat the sea.

The most abundant meal in the canteen of the steel mill should be pork or other livestock meat.

Chicken and duck meat are generally unaffordable. How many tens of thousands of people eat two chickens?

In the staff canteen of the Jinmen Trade Management Center, fish and seafood are the most abundant meals.

Of course, even if it is close to the sea, there are not many such ingredients.

Fish meat is basically stewed in large pieces, and the size of a child's palm is divided into lunch boxes.

This is already higher than the treatment at the steel mill. Braised pork and stewed potatoes, basically no meat can be seen, all are braised potatoes.

Facts have proved that leaders' meals are not all delicacies from mountains and seas, jade plates and delicacies, steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables are the same.

You say Li Huaide is delicious, but in fact, in this era, even meat is delicious. I wish I could eat a calf in one bite.

It's not that there is nothing to eat, but being able to eat and afford it is a symbol of status.

And these can be arranged in receptions, and it is impossible to have fish and meat every meal in daily life.

A long table was occupied by employees of the management center and leaders from the factory.

Li Huaide and Jing Yunong deliberately sat in between the employees of the management center, obviously wanting to chat with everyone while eating and learn about the situation here.

"The food standard of the management center is high~"

Li Huaide smiled and said to the people at the same table: "It seems that your Director Zhuang has asked for treatment from Deputy Director Li!"

"Hehehe——"

Several male and female employees at the same table laughed. They were basically selected from the steel rolling mill to work here, and they were naturally familiar with the names of Li Huaide and Li Xuewu.

Even the trade backbones who were recruited and trained in the first batch of the second phase became familiar with them during the two people's several visits to Tianjin.

In addition to the communication and exchanges between employees, they basically knew something about the factory.

A young employee boldly asked Li Huaide: "Leader, are you used to eating in our canteen?"

As soon as this question was asked, the accompanying Zhuang Cangshu's face froze, and the scene became quiet.

The employee who asked the question also found that he seemed to have caused trouble, and he didn't mean that.

Li Huaide didn't care about this. He was very patient and tolerant towards grassroots cadres and workers.

"What? Are you afraid that I won't want to leave because I eat too well? Hahaha——"

He cleverly changed the question and answer, and his humorous words made everyone laugh.

"If you ask me, the attitude and confidence of employees towards work can be seen from the issue of eating. If they eat well, they will be motivated, right?"

He smiled and said to the employees at the same table, and then said to Li Xuewu: "We must also work hard. When the canteen of the steel rolling mill has the standard here, it will be a reflection of the improvement of the comprehensive strength of the factory."

"Director Li, can I ask you a question?"

A female comrade at the next table raised her hand hesitantly and asked tentatively: "Our factory needs to upgrade and move towards groupization. When will that be?"

Her question attracted the attention of the surrounding employees, who looked over and listened carefully.

She asked again: "What impact will the upgrading and grouping of our factory have on us?"

"That's a good question," Li Huaide nodded with a smile, and said: "It proves that our work is meaningful to hear that everyone is concerned about the upgrading and grouping of our factory."

"We dare not say exactly when the upgrading and grouping process will take place, and we can only cooperate with the arrangements and inspections of the department."

He answered cautiously: "But please believe that my comrades and I in the factory are in the same urgent mood as you, and we are working hard together."

"As for the impact of these two changes on everyone, I believe you have organized to study the three-year plan and five-year plan documents, right?"

Li Huaide smiled and glanced at Zhuang Cangshu, which doubled the pressure on him.

Several employees nodded in agreement, proving that the documents were indeed learned, but some people did not learn them well.

He explained: "The reason why we need to improve the management level and establish a more convenient and scientific management organization on the basis of the management structure of the steel rolling mill is to better create a grand blueprint for industry in the new era and new period."

"You are all employees of the steel mill, and you are part of this big family. Our family business has grown, and our children have grown up and are able to make a living. We have to separate and live separately, right?"

The employees around him looked at him thoughtfully, and the smart ones had understood.

"If we separate and live separately, will we no longer be a family? Of course not, we will always be a family!"

Li Huaide's voice was generous and powerful, without any fatigue in the morning.

He said: "Separating and living separately is to create a better living environment and space for children, so that everyone can develop better."

After seeing everyone's suddenly enlightened expressions, Li Huaide joked: "Tianjin Trade Management Center is the child of the steel mill who will grow up. When the children grow up and there are more children, parents have to build a bigger house to shelter them from the wind and rain."

"Now everyone understands why we need to upgrade and why we need to establish a group company."

"Thank you Director Li--"

"Thank you Director Li--"

After the silence, the cafeteria scene suddenly rang with warm applause and words of thanks.

Li Huaide smiled and waved to them, saying: "The Trade Management Center is the child of the steel rolling mill, and you are the children of the management center."

He said sincerely: "I have only one request for everyone, and that is to eat well and work well. Thank you all."

The cafeteria burst into warm applause again.

Then during the meal of the factory leaders, some people asked some questions from time to time.

According to the business plan, Li Huaide and Jing Yunong answered respectively. Li Xuewu did not steal the limelight. It was unnecessary and meaningless.

When he came out of the restaurant for lunch, many employees still came to say hello, which left a good impression on Li Huaide.

Zhuang Cangshu's meal was tasteless and he couldn't taste it at all. He was only worried about whether the leaders were satisfied.

Li Xuewu also knew that he was a little too cautious and cautious, so he did not make too many criticisms or corrections on this matter.

No matter how close Jinmen is to the capital, it is still more than two hours' drive away. It is better for the person in charge here to be cautious.

After all, it is close to the seaside, and the wind and waves are strong, and it will be bad if the boat capsizes.

The Trade Management Center is considered the core of the interests of Li Huaide and the others. It was moved from the steel rolling mill to Tianjin just for the sake of stability.
