Siheyuan diet for men and women

The bed at the International Hotel is very large, especially when sleeping alone.

He Yushui suffered from insomnia, just like that bastard had left in a clean and carefree manner.

When I went upstairs with him, I felt a little nervous, a little surprised, and a little happy.

But when he stood at the door, motioning towards the room, he said to himself: There are always days when women speak without thinking, and the most appropriate solution is to be alone.

She really wanted to raise her hand and punch him on that hateful mouth of his.

But she was just thinking about it and didn't put it into action. She was just angry, not crazy.

The bastard told her that the room was booked and non-refundable, and the internal rate was $5.50 a night, including breakfast, which she could order by phone to have in the room.

After saying that, he ignored her angry look and turned away, cleanly and decisively.

He Yushui really wanted to follow him downstairs and go home, but when she thought about what her sister-in-law said when they came out, and then looked at the magnificent room.

She knew that Li Xuewu was not a bad person.

But he is a bastard, a righteous bastard, more annoying than a bad guy, making people...

French-style wall decoration, a large bed with golden pillars and carvings, white draperies, green tablecloth, thick purple velvet curtains... This guest room is impeccable, except for a hint of warmth.

Even though this was the most comfortable, luxurious, and most unimaginable room that Yu Shui had ever slept in, she still couldn't sleep alone.

There is no shortage of love at first sight or childhood sweethearts in this world, but there is often no forced love.

If it is true as my sister-in-law said, that a forced melon is not sweet, then why should he be so tolerant and caring towards me?

If he really has no feelings for me, why should he pretend to be such a gentleman and stay out of trouble?

If he was really a gentleman, then what did she hear and see?

Is she not even as good as Qin Huairu and Yu Li?
That night, He Yushui tossed and turned, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. She had never thought that men could be so complicated. She was waiting for him in the cold night, and he should know what this meant.

Even though she decided to go on a blind date and restart her life, she was still attached to this unexpected surprise and wanted to struggle again.

But life is a quagmire and a swamp. The more reckless you are, the deeper you sink into it, and it will be difficult to turn back.

Sometimes time goes very slowly, just like the dawn seen outside the window of the International Hotel in the rain, which takes a long time to come.

Sometimes time passes very quickly, just like the work calendar on Li Xuewu's desk, which disappears after being crossed out.

On January 28, the electronic and electrical industrial production equipment purchased by the steel rolling mill on behalf of Japanese, Hong Kong and Wufeng Bank arrived at the Yingcheng Port.

Chief Engineer Xia Zhongquan led a team to Gangcheng to guide and deploy the installation and maintenance of mechanical equipment.

On January 20, People's Publishing House contacted Li Xuewu and reprinted copies of "Emergency Double Plan".

It's good news, but there is no royalties because after the reform of the royalties system, there is no royalties for reprinting.

It's not just that there's no payment for reprints. In fact, all writers of this period don't get any payment for their works. This is an "integrated" management.

There was also some "good news" on the 29th that would make people curse. What Li Xuewu had been talking about a few days ago came true.

"People's Daily" published a notice today: In response to the demands of the general public, it was officially announced that "old customs will be abolished and there will be no holidays during the Spring Festival."

Li Xuewu didn’t know who the “general public” were. Anyway, they were as mysterious as the “relevant departments”.

Not only is there no holiday for the Spring Festival, but the home visit leave has also been suspended, with the announcement that it will be made up later.

Making up for it later is like your friend borrowing 200 yuan from you and saying he will pay it back later.

Don't expect him to pay it back. Since you want to borrow it, just consider it a donation or throw it away.

Peng Xiaoli was full of complaints, but he didn't dare say them in front of Li Xuewu. However, he kept muttering to himself, showing his unhappiness.

He was unhappy, and in fact, the workers at the steel mill were unhappy too.

But this notice was not issued by the factory, but was issued directly from above through newspapers.

All major train stations and bus stations are broadcasting the announcement that there will be no holidays during the Spring Festival.

After hearing this notice, many people who had bought train and bus tickets to go home for the New Year went to the ticket office to refund their tickets and returned to work.

Nowadays, there are not many people who dare to express themselves and speak the truth like Peng Xiaoli.

Anyway, someone has proposed it and the higher-ups have notified us, so we can only follow it.

It's not directed at just one person. Even if you want to reason with someone, who can you talk to?

In fact, what Peng Xiaoli didn’t know was that there would be no Spring Festival holiday for more than ten years from then on.

He felt uncomfortable not just once, but throughout his youth.

Anyway, as far as Li Xuewu knew, in the past ten years or so, no matter whether they were government officials, factory workers, or waiters in shops, supply and marketing cooperatives, or restaurants, they did not take holidays or go home, and all had to actively participate in production labor.

You say that this regulation will make things difficult for city dwellers, workers, and government officials?
Of course not, it is an all-round and three-dimensional notification, so don’t be idle.

Winter is the idle season for farmers, but farmers still have to work, turning the idle time into the busy time.

Of course, Peng Xiaoli dared to tell the truth in front of Li Xuewu. To others, he still supported the decision from above.

Not only did he support it, but when everyone got together to talk about it, they all expressed their support.

Everyone was competing to be more advanced and to work harder, and no one said how ridiculous this decision was.

However, there was an unconcealable helplessness in each other's eyes. After all, there were only a few days of vacation in a year.

No one is born out of cracks in a rock. We are all raised by our parents, so we need time to reunite.

No one is a machine. As long as we give it some oil and connect it to a power source or power, it can run day and night.

The factory leaders were actually quite helpless as well, and they discovered the undercurrents and emotions hidden beneath the voices of support.

It was Li Xuewu, the deputy director of the commission's office, who added a sentence when the document was transferred to him for review: Rest as usual on weekends.

Smart people have actually seen the significance behind this new opinion.

The eighth of next month is New Year’s Eve, which happens to be a weekend.

In other words, you can take a break this year, even if it is just a weekend break.

However, the discussion about this matter in the factory did not stop, and even Peng Xiaoli talked to him about it all day.

This kid has been a bit chatty lately, but he is still sober and knows not to talk casually.

On the 30th, Li Xuewu formally contacted the Dongcheng Credit Union on behalf of the steel rolling mill.

The two sides visited and inspected the projects mentioned in the previous meeting.

It includes the steel rolling mill's tertiary industry project in Beijing and the trade train project dispatched by the Tianjin Trade Management Center.

Yingcheng and Gangcheng are too far away, so there is no need or plan to investigate them for the time being.

However, Bao Peigang is still very satisfied with the projects that are currently mature and under construction.

Especially the fiberglass project in cooperation with Beijing Glass Factory, the electronic supporting industry in cooperation with TV factory, the automobile parts supporting industry in cooperation with chemical plant, etc.

This part was introduced by Li Xuewu in the automobile production parts supply chain project that the steel rolling mill is building.

During the explanation, Li Xuewu revealed that the steel rolling mill intends to build a parts solution to serve automobile manufacturers based on existing automobile industry projects and parts supporting production capacity.

The plan aims to address the current situation where existing automobile manufacturers are overly dependent on fully independent production of parts, advocates optimizing technology and production models, and creates a new upstream and downstream structure of automobile production in different regions.

This is not a new project for the steel mill. Visits and investigations into auto parts manufacturing plants across the country show that the steel mill has already had this planned.

It’s just that the engineering project department that executed this order may not understand it, but this item was included in the plan that Li Xuewu submitted to Li Huaide and other leaders.

Automobile production is definitely not just a one-off building of a jeep or motorcycle factory.

The ultimate goal of the automotive industry is to master upstream and downstream industries and fully mobilize and integrate resources.

Of course, this project is a backup and extension process for automobile manufacturing and does not involve additional investment or budget.

This is why the steel mill still retains a parts purchasing team.

The cost may be the personnel cost of the team, but the cost of the steel mill’s own personnel is almost negligible.

But once the supply chain project is completed, the benefits and impact it will bring will far exceed the steel city's automotive industry itself.

Of course, the development of a supply chain project cannot be achieved overnight.

It should also develop in tandem with the automobile industry of steel mills to avoid being top-heavy.

The company’s current partner is only Beijing Second Automobile Works, and the procurement channels within the supply chain are mainly short-term custom contracts.

But in the future, the supply chain will change this production and procurement pattern, and may even acquire parts processing plants and integrate the upstream areas of automobile production.

Bao Peigang saw a small part of the tertiary industry of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill from Li Xuewu's introduction.

But the grandeur revealed by the tip of the iceberg has already made him amazed, and he is even more impressed and in awe of the steel mill's existing development goals, which are highly clear and have strong execution.

It is not because the supply and marketing cooperatives have more money that they look for investment projects. On the contrary, they do so because they have less money.

Precisely because we have less money, we need money, we need to make more money, and we must be more cautious about investment.

Good projects are rare, and safe and controllable projects are even rarer.

Bao Peigang was very willing to reach a financial investment cooperation with the steel mill, and even invited Li Xuewu to go with him to inspect the credit union's service outlets.

The case took place in Dongcheng, and the key figures and conflict points were also in Dongcheng Credit Union.

The higher-ups made timely adjustments to the credit union's management. Bao Peigang was newly transferred here, so he was naturally very motivated.

He had a good understanding of the management and actual situation of the Dongcheng Credit Union, did a lot of homework, and even applied to review the case materials at the time.

From a certain detail, that is, when Li Xuewu was interrogating the main culprit, the accountant, Li Xuewu's personal opinion was recorded in the case interrogation record.

Li Xuewu really didn't pay attention. It was written by the clerk. He just glanced at it and signed it.

I didn't expect that someone actually took a close look at his opinions on the current credit union system's office system, as well as its security and accounting systems.

Bao Peigang also sorted out this opinion and reviewed the investigation context of the entire case.

You won’t know until you check. You’ll be shocked to find out that the major case that shocked the entire East City was solved by a criminal investigation expert named Li Xuewu from beginning to end.

Especially combined with that inconspicuous but surprising opinion, he became more interested in Li Xuewu.

After coordinating and understanding the situation with the relevant persons in charge of the case, he also investigated Li Xuewu's personal information and the production data of the steel rolling mill.

Combining all the investigation results, Bao Peigang was convinced that he had met a young man with real talent and great ability.

These were not his comments, but the comments of the person in charge of the case and those who participated in his investigation on Li Xuewu.

So he contacted his friends in the Discipline Inspection Commission and wanted to meet Li Xuewu.

I just didn't think that Li Xuewu was a public figure and treated the meeting with him as a public matter.

However, this made their meeting open and normal, and led to a second meeting.

During the inspection process, Li Xuewu certainly would not scold his son in front of his parents. He only expressed some of his own opinions and insights during the symposium.

Bao Peigang could see that Li Xuewu was quite cautious in his speech and was very concerned about the environment and identity.

He was not disappointed. Instead, he was more surprised and impressed by Li Xuewu's mature performance.

There are many problems with credit unions, but a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. If we want to solve the problems fundamentally, we need to proceed step by step.

Therefore, even if Li Xuewu had valuable suggestions for the reform of the credit union, he was not in a hurry to get them at this time.

As long as there is cooperation and as long as we become friends, there will be plenty of time to sit down and communicate in the future.

At the end of the inspection, Bao Peigang, on behalf of Dongcheng Credit Union, formally expressed his willingness and desire for comprehensive economic cooperation to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Dongcheng Credit Union intends to inject capital into the steel mill's trade, tertiary industry and infrastructure projects in the form of investment and loans.

We are interested in investing in the commercial category of the steel mill workers' village project and applying to build a savings service center.

We are interested in cooperating with the steel rolling mill to explore the training mechanisms and practices for financial personnel and security personnel, and to participate in the Red Star Training Ground project.

……

There are quite a few cooperation projects listed in the formally submitted letter of intent. As mentioned by Li Xuewu, the projects they know about have all been marked with their willingness to cooperate.

Of course Li Xuewu was willing to give the money, and he could discuss other projects, but he had a different opinion on the issue of savings.

He was not sure how credit savings would develop in the future, but the wallets of steel mill workers could not be put in the hands of others.

In response to this cooperation intention, Li Xuewu raised the issue at the communication meeting, saying that savings were possible, but it had to be in the form of cooperation.

Dongcheng Credit Union, which has savings management qualifications, and Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, which has a large number of workers and cooperative factories and units, jointly invested to build a new unit with savings, development and investment functions.

The unit is jointly led by both parties, has complete independent funding, and jointly develops investment projects, mainly focusing on factory asset management, worker wage payment and savings, engineering project investment, etc.

Bao Peigang attaches great importance to Li Xuewu's opinion and is also thinking about the possibilities and pros and cons of this cooperation.

Rome was not built in a day, and this meeting is only the second meeting between the two sides.

Even though the credit union formally expressed its willingness to cooperate, Li Xuewu and Bao Peigang were both well aware that there was still a long way to go before the day of achieving cooperation.

After all, it is rare for a banking unit to cooperate with a production unit to develop financial operations.

The most common ones are actually workers' salary payment and savings, and credit unions usually act as service providers to provide financial solutions.

Now Li Xuewu wants to reach out to make money and hold the purse, influencing and interfering with the management and operation of funds, which really poses a big problem for Bao Peigang.

When he reported this work to Jing Yunong after returning, Jing Yunong also said that he was a typical example of taking advantage of others and making any money he could.

Li Xuewu was furious. While complaining that he was doing it for the good of the factory, he threatened her that next time she would learn what it meant to pluck the feathers of a passing goose.
-
"How did time pass so quickly?"

Li Xuewu looked down at his work calendar through the thick glass on his desk.

"A month has passed in a flash, and it's the end of the month again?"

"You are busy. There is no moon in the mountains, but a thousand years have passed in the world."

Peng Xiaoli joked: "You really should relax, otherwise when you look up, you will see the factory union beating drums and gongs to present you with a retirement certificate."

"I did think it would be better if they sent it to me now!"

Li Xuewu tapped on the calendar with amusement and asked, "Is it the International Hotel that Deputy Director Jing went to today?"

"Yes, Deputy Director Jing is leading the team, and Director Sha has also been there."

Peng Xiaoli introduced: "Since the docking talks started last Thursday, there has been little substantive progress and we are still in the stage of understanding each other."

“Director Sha is actually very attentive.”

At this point, he took the initiative to praise Shaqizhi: "He took those commercial tour groups to visit several production bases of our factory, and they saw everything they should see."

“Isn’t this his job?”

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, not paying attention to his words, and asked again: "Have the personnel adjustments been completed?"

"Deputy Team Leader Yu is responsible for the report to be submitted on Monday"

While introducing, Peng Xiaoli found the corresponding file from the file folder and placed it in front of Li Xuewu.

"It was mainly about the handover of work and the reading of orders, which was personally supervised by Deputy Team Leader Yu, and everything went smoothly."

This is not an application document, nor a review document. It is a procedural document to be reported after the handover. It does not require immediate signature or review, so Peng Xiaoli did not include it in the work documents.

This was originally an arrangement made by Li Xuewu, and he only needs to take it out when the leader asks about it or inquires about it.

Peng Xiaoli has already figured out Li Xuewu's office habits. He is no longer as restrained and flustered as he was at first, and now feels more casual and confident.

"Boss, today is Saturday, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"Ok?"

Li Xuewu was looking at a document. When he heard him say this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him.

Peng Xiaoli reminded with a smile: "There is a dance party at the International Hotel tonight. Not only the guests of the hotel, but also the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and their families are willing to go."

"You know this as well?"

Li Xuewu's expression changed slightly and he said, "It seems that the security work of the International Hotel is not up to standard."

"Don't scare me"

Peng Xiaoli twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a weak voice: "The International Hotel does not host external guests, but it is the counterpart of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the steel mill's own host. It does not violate any taboos."

"Another thing is that this news is not known to everyone. I dare say that not many people in our factory know about it either."

"Don't you know?"

Li Xuewu closed the document, nodded and said: "Tell Deputy Team Leader Yu to arrange a job inspection after the New Year to see how they are performing their duties."

"besides!"

After he finished explaining, he pointed at Peng Xiaoli and reminded him: "Tell the International Hotel to keep a low profile and not to show off. Also tell the Security Department to strengthen safety management."

"I understand, I'll do it right away"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was serious, Peng Xiaoli also responded seriously.

When he saw that the leader had nothing else to say, he said something and turned to leave the office.

In fact, Li Xuewu did not deny weekend dances. It is a social means, especially for foreigners.

With the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Investigation Department there, it was impossible for anyone to enter the dance hall as Peng Xiaoli imagined.

Furthermore, the dancing activities held there were not organized by Han Yating and Zhang Songying on their own initiative.

Just think about it, who has the ability, who likes dancing, and who dares to ask the International Hotel to organize such a social event.

Otherwise, why would Li Xuewu say that Old Li is both green and playful? He is flattered by girls like Zhou Miaomiao and really thinks he has excellent dancing skills.

I was scared to death when I called Li Xuewu late at night a few days ago. Now that I have nothing to do these days, I want to have fun again.

Li Xuewu also heard Zhang Songying mention to him that the weekend dances there are not only popular among foreign businessmen, but also foreign envoys and their families.

Maybe it’s because of the superior environment, or maybe it’s because of the good security, there really is a feeling of decadence and decadence here.

Of course, the International Hotel also made a lot of money from this wave. Otherwise, you would think that the internal price for a high-end room is only 5.5 yuan. Where did the money go?

The internal price is 5.5 yuan, and it is even more outrageous for foreign businessmen or foreign affairs travelers.

Even though the facilities inside are advanced and excellent, and the service is particularly attentive and thoughtful, the foreigners don't feel bad about staying here at more than ten or twenty yuan a night, which surprised the waiters.

On the one hand, people lament that foreigners are really rich, and on the other hand, they lament that their own company is really heartless.

If we talk about unscrupulous places, it has to be the teahouses and coffee shops in international hotels, and the high-end kitchens.

Li Xuewu explained to Zhang Songying how foreigners in later generations made money from Chinese people.

Chef Shang’s ready-made health-preserving chefs allow these foreigners who are obsessed with Chinese culture to have a taste of the impact of capital.

The portions should not be too large, the dishes should be exquisite, with more fancy decorations and some fairy-like names.

What we eat is not the food, but the culture and cultivation, and the main focus is to create a stylish pit.

However, the ingredients here are indeed excellent. Shen Guodong took the order. Except for the beef, mutton and seafood which were purchased from United Trade, all other fresh vegetables were supplied by him.

Capital is always fluid, and when a big fish turns the world upside down, there will naturally be a group of people following behind to reap the spoils.

With a recycling station as small as this, there is endless wealth to be generated just by relying on the steel mill.

According to the news brought back by Lao Biaozi last weekend, the matter in Gangcheng has been completely settled and the earlier influence from Guandong has been basically eliminated.

As for the development of recycling stations and shipping terminals in the steel city, he had no idea and simply copied the Beijing model and cooperated with local governments and steel mills.

Fortunately, Dong Wenxue was at the steel plant and he knew him, so communication was not difficult.

Relying on the steel plant and its recent large-scale investment and construction projects, Lao Biaozi seized the opportunity and performed very well.

Not only did it assist Dongfeng Construction in conducting local engineering recruitment business, it also coordinated several parties to complete the procurement of construction materials.

Not to mention the profits he made in the middle, even the relationships he made during the operation were a considerable fortune for him in Steel City.

What's more, the steel rolling mill also has a recruitment target of 1,000 people in Steel City, and many people use connections to recruit.

Even though the steel mill has set strict educational requirements for different jobs, the quota of 1,000 people is still very popular.

Li Wenbiao certainly knew that he could not cause trouble for Li Xuewu, and all personnel operations were completed through Dong Wenxue.

This is doing things for the steel plant and also helping the steel plant maintain local relations, so naturally we have to give it some face.

When the basic conditions were met, Li Wenbiao actually arranged for some people to work in the factory.

This also opened up the horizons and ideas for his local work, and he was able to figure things out in the steel city.

There are always problems between local governments and steel mills that are inconvenient to solve through direct communication, but through his coordination and operation, solutions can always be found.

This is also the main reason why he can survive and live well in Steel City.

After Gangcheng was settled, the work in Jicheng became much easier. Li Wenbiao also had some time to spare and made two trips to Jicheng.

With the help of her second uncle, Xilin also gained a foothold in Jicheng.

Although he was not as successful as Li Wenbiao and was not familiar with the local area to a certain extent, his relationship with the forestry industry had become stable.

After the winter came, under the coordination of Li Xuewu, the Xicheng No. 3 Prison and the newly-cooperated Chadian Farm successively consumed four trainloads of logs from Jicheng Forestry, which effectively solved a major problem.

This part of the wood is an unplanned product. If it is not disposed of this year, when the plan starts next year, it will be considered a waste of effort and all of it will be allocated.

So the forestry industry is also thinking about how to make money and how to deal with these logs.

The last time Li Xuewu went to Jicheng, he and his second uncle sat down with their leader and talked about this matter.

At that time, their leaders didn't seem to trust Li Xuewu's connections very much, and they just wanted to try their best.

Unexpectedly, as soon as winter came, Xilin took the initiative to contact us and asked to purchase timber, and even prepared a train for transportation.

In fact, these woods are not difficult to sell. Anyone who has the ability to transport these woods can make a lot of money.

But the prerequisite is that you have to have this ability. The scheduling of train cars alone is a big problem.

Furthermore, not everyone can cooperate in the forestry industry. Even if these timbers are in surplus, they cannot be allocated to individuals at will. What if something goes wrong?
After all, this was unplanned, and the part that exceeded the plan has been written off in the forestry department, and the money may have been transferred to logistics or someone else's pocket.

The accounts are all gone, and it would be troublesome if there was a sudden investigation.

Therefore, when Xilin came to the Xicheng No. 3 Prison and Chadian Farm with the purchase documents, the continuous requests for goods really made the forestry side see the possibility of continuing stable cooperation.

It's only January, and winter is still two or three months away. There is plenty of unplanned timber in the forest farm, and it all depends on how much Xilin can sell.

Li Xuewu is very optimistic about this line. It is simple and clear and does not involve many units.

Especially in Xicheng No. 3 Prison and Chadian Farm, the demand for wood is particularly great whether it is for furniture or papermaking.

Just taking furniture as an example, the tool box at the recycling station hasn't been opened for a long time and is completely out of stock.

Wooden products such as tables, chairs, benches, household furniture, chess packaging, etc. are all produced by these two units.

The prison's labor is free, and these two places have another prison as an example, so they dare to invest in machinery.

Coupled with the fluidity of the joint trade, as soon as these wooden products are manufactured, redesigned, packaged and installed, they will be packed and loaded onto trains and transported to where they are needed.

Anything purchased with a ticket must be a planned commodity with tight supply and demand.

Furniture is indeed a large item and a must-have for marriage. It is needed all year round by ordinary people or companies.

My grandmother has no time to do anything by herself now, and is mostly busy designing furniture.

Li Xuewu arranged to purchase a lot of foreign furniture design books and materials from Hong Kong for grandma's reference.

Now that the recycling station still controls the resources for furniture production, it should always have the confidence to take dividends from this part.

As a result of the popularity of glass coffee tables in Beijing, glass factories have developed techniques for acid and alkali corrosion and are producing them in large quantities to seize the furniture market.

No business can last forever, and this day had been expected.

Grandma has become accustomed to this situation, but Shen Guodong is a little petty and complained about it a few times.

Li Xuewu gave him some advice, to develop modular furniture, to bind the market and to improve competitiveness.

What is modular furniture?

It's very simple, you need a cabinet, but I don't sell you a cabinet, I sell you parts.

All parts that can be assembled into cabinets are disassembled for production and sales.

No matter how many meters, how many sections, or what pattern of furniture the customer requires, the customer can buy it and assemble it themselves.

It makes purchasing and selection easier for customers, and it makes production and transportation easier for factories.

The main purpose is to reduce the costs of both parties and compete directly with those furniture factories on price.

This is Li Xuewu's old trick of raising sand, and he starts a price war as soon as he disagrees with something.

The only disadvantage of assembled furniture is that the design needs to be extremely sophisticated and the dimensions must be carefully controlled.

But compared with the advantages, design has become the most worthwhile job.

Shen Guodong really thought that relying on this item alone and relying on the production capacity of the three prisons and Chadian Farm, he could completely monopolize the market.

When Li Xuewu heard him say this, he just smiled and didn't say that he was dreaming.

When you first start a business, you can't just give up everything at once. If this project can help Shen Guodong develop a sense of the overall situation, it will be worth it no matter how much he earns.

At least it can let Shen Guodong know the difficulties of starting a business, and also let him know how big this country is.

Don't talk about monopoly all the time. Except for tobacco, salt, etc., the others are just a joke.

Monopolizing furniture? You’re dreaming!
-
"Leader, there is a letter for you"

Peng Xiaoli came back to report and brought back his letters.

Even with the advent of telephones, letters are still the most important means of communication in this era.

Many people wrote letters to Li Xuewu, from all over the world.

Some talk about work, some talk about life, some talk about family, and some are just full of nonsense.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to the letter at first, but after reading the document in his hand and taking a quick look at it, he started to take it seriously.

Forwarded from Gangcheng, from Nakamura of Japanese company.

The letter was written in Chinese, which was very considerate. It first asked about his health, then talked about the machinery purchase and the expectations for the electronics and electrical factory.

At the same time, he also talked about the development of the international electronic and electrical industry, and specifically mentioned Lijiaopo, saying that electrical appliance production was also being carried out there.

The whole letter gave Li Xuewu a feeling that time was running out.

At the end of the letter, Nakamura expressed his gratitude for the gift Li Xuewu gave him last time, and he specially prepared a generous gift in return.

If Nakamura hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten what he gave last time. It was the book he wrote.

After opening the list attached to the letter, Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and then shook his head in amusement.

What did Nakamura give?
A set of three items: a color TV, a washing machine and a refrigerator, all of which are relatively high-end.

Why do you think Li Xuewu squints his eyes, and why do you think it's funny?
Of course, squinting did not mean that he thought Nakamura was bribing him or causing him financial trouble.

He felt that Xiao Guiza always did things in a petty manner and was always calculating in his mind.

These three household appliances were sent to him by ship from such a long distance.

Don’t you know that these things can be found in China?
In fact, he knew, and he also knew that Li Xuewu had the ability to buy these, but he still gave them to him.

Why?

On the one hand, it means introducing the actual product, and on the other hand, it also means showing off.

The most important thing may be to supervise or remind both parties of the gap in cooperation.

I will give you three household appliances. You can use them yourself and compare them to see whether ours is better or yours is better.

They were playing psychological warfare because they were afraid that the steel mill would have other ideas, take up their investment and support, and start their own production.

It is very likely that the steel rolling mill chose three foreign companies to cooperate in procurement, which aroused the other party's vigilance.

Otherwise, why would Li Xuewu think they were ridiculous? He was just being cunning about this.

"We already have a washing machine at home. My mother-in-law bought it for us."

Li Xuewu pointed at the list and said to Peng Xiaoli: "It's inconvenient for Deputy Director Gu to live alone, so give this one to her."

After saying that, he pointed to the color TV and said, "Director Li has the habit of watching TV news every night, so this one is for him."

"This refrigerator comes with..."

"Hey! Leader~~~"

Peng Xiaoli saw that his leader gave away all the gifts sent by foreign businessmen in just a few words, and his mouth twitched with heartache.

There were reasons for giving the first two items to Deputy Director Gu and Director Li, but this refrigerator had to be given to someone else, and he felt sorry for Li Xuewu.

At this moment, he held down the list and reminded with a wry smile: "This is for you, why don't you keep one for yourself?"

"Haha, what's so good about it?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and glanced at him, let go of the list, leaned back in his chair and said, "They are just some household appliances. Our appliance factory will be completed this year. Maybe you will have a refrigerator at home next year."

"I dare not think about it!"

Peng Xiaoli smiled bitterly and said: "This thing doesn't look cheap at first glance, and it's shipped from abroad."

He picked up the list and looked at it, still feeling distressed, and said, "Even if our factory produced it, I couldn't afford it."

"Have more ambition!"

Li Xuewu said something to him, then waved his hand and said, "I don't need the refrigerator at home, so give it to Deputy Director Jing."

"This……"

Peng Xiaoli didn't expect that his leader would actually give away all the electrical appliances, leaving nothing behind.

Hearing his hesitation and heartache, Li Xuewu raised his head and motioned to him: "Go and arrange it."

"Yes!"

Seeing that his leader was determined to do so, he had no choice but to do as he was told and took the list to make the arrangements.

On the third floor of the main office building, he first went to Deputy Director Gu's office, knocked on the door gently and entered the room, explained the reason for the letter and gift from foreign businessmen, and also talked about Li Xuewu's suggestion to transfer the gift.

For the first time, he saw an expression of surprise and a dilemma on Deputy Director Gu's face.

In fact, Peng Xiaoli was hesitant about whether to convey Li Xuewu's original words.

Although I know that Deputy Director Gu is single now, there is no need to use this as an excuse to give him a washing machine, right?
But he still said this. On the one hand, he didn't dare to change Li Xuewu's opinion, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what Deputy Director Gu's reaction would be.

"Thank your team leader for me."

Gu Weijie looked at him with amusement, then nodded and said, "I just need a place to wash clothes. I almost have no clean clothes to wear."

"Hey, leader, you are joking."

Peng Xiaoli also heard the teasing and joking from Deputy Director Gu, but the leader did accept the gift, which really made him understand something.

When he arrived at Deputy Director Jing's room and explained his purpose, he got a different reaction.

"You're giving me a refrigerator in this cold winter?"

Jing Yunong was still reviewing documents, but his tone sounded genuinely dissatisfied.

"Is there anything that can't be frozen in the weather outside with temperatures below 10 or 20 degrees below zero?"

"……this"

Peng Xiaoli almost broke into a sweat because of her question. How could giving a gift cause such trouble?

You don’t even want a refrigerator, what do you want, a stove?
"Haha~"

Just when he was laughing stiffly, racking his brains for how to reply to his leader, he saw Deputy Director Jing laughing out loud.

"Okay, go back and tell Li Xuewu that my family doesn't need a refrigerator, so let him keep it for his own use."

"Leader, we..."

Peng Xiaoli wanted to explain, but he saw Deputy Director Jing waved his hand and lowered his head to look at the documents again.

He had no choice but to leave the office and wait to go back and ask his leader what to do.

If the gift is not delivered, then there is something wrong with his work.

When he came to Director Li again, everything was finally back to normal. The leader no longer teased him or caused any trouble.

Director Li was very surprised, but not too surprised and nodded to indicate that he accepted the gift.

However, when he came out, he could clearly see Li Haiyang's meaningful look.

He has been involved in the factory office, so how could he not understand what the other party meant?

It seems that this batch of electrical gifts had already become known to everyone before it even reached Deputy Director Li.

At least he didn't see any excitement or other expressions in Li Haiyang's eyes, which only meant that the boy had known it for a long time.

Director Li performed very well, but he was just a little short of perfection. (End of this chapter)
