Chapter 926: Honesty and Kindness
"Who is so bold!"

Zhang Changming called the clerk aside to talk alone: ​​"I dared to take you out to play during my business trip!"

The clerks were also frightened by their leader's anger. Just now, they kept yawning, and Vice President Zhang looked at them with anger in his eyes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this clerk usually behaves servilely and submissively in the office. He is really loyal at the critical moment!

"Director Bai took us there!"

"Director Bai?!"

Zhang Changming glared and knew it was the old bastard. He was the one who was in a bad mood just now.

This old bastard is a piece of shit at work. He tells a lot of dirty stories and even gets caught.

He didn't want to be with the other person when he came out. It was too embarrassing.

But what can be done about it is that Bai Xiyuan is on good terms with Director Han. He comes here just to be Director Han's dog and have him monitor him.

The steel mill has a lot of trouble, and the seafood company has a lot of mess too.

Zhang Changming has a strong background, and Han Qingwei can't deal with him, so he puts him on the sidelines.

This deputy general manager is much more noble than ordinary cadres, and he is in charge of the general work of the seafood company.

Especially the coordination and communication with various units in the city, because he had connections, all the tasks were handed over to him.

He had finally managed to avoid Han Qingwei, and he also wanted to build a career for himself, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such a rotten plaster.

"How does Director Bai know where there is such a place in Yingcheng!"

Zhang Changming glared and shouted in a low voice: "Tell me! Who took you there?"

"The deputy director of the shipyard office said that he went out for a stroll at night."

It turns out that Li Xuewu passed the blame to Xu Sinian, and Xu Sinian passed it to someone else.

However, the clerk didn't know so much and thought that the people from the shipyard were just being polite and welcoming.

Seeing the leader getting angry, he quickly pulled Vice President Zhang aside and said something nice: "Leader, please don't be angry..."

Zhang Changming slapped the clerk's hand away and cursed in a low voice: "I'm not angry at all!"

After saying that, he glared in the direction of the conference room and cursed, "How dare you, a bunch of good-for-nothings like you, mess up your job!"

At this point he felt that he had gone too far, and glancing at the clerk, he saw that he looked dejected, so he tried hard to hold back.

"Tell me, in your current state, what can you watch and talk about in this morning?"

"I'll have to sign the contract when I get back. Who should I ask for the information here?"

After Zhang Changming finished speaking, he put his hand on the clerk's shoulder, glared at him and said fiercely: "I am very angry now~"

"..."

The clerk was not frightened, and looked away from the leader, especially at this moment...

As his leader put his hand on his shoulder and glared at him, he was wondering whether he should squat down.

It was the intermission of the symposium. Some people were communicating with each other inside the conference room, while others were smoking and chatting together in private outside.

It was a bit noisy in the corridor, and no one noticed Zhang Changming's expression.

Zhang Changming was silent at this moment, but he could hear voices coming from the conference room cubicle.

It was obviously Bai Xiyuan and the deputy director of the shipyard's office.

"Director Bai, how was your rest last night? Would you like to go out for a walk with me tonight?"

"Forget it, you almost scared me to death last night!"

Bai Xiyuan's voice was clearly complaining and teasing: "Don't underestimate your small place, you can have a lot of fun here!"

"Last night we split up and acted separately"

He pointed at the other person with the hand holding the cigarette, and said, "I walked into the alley, guess what I met?"

Without waiting for the deputy director to answer, he said: "She looks like she's in her 30s or almost 40, and she held my hand and wouldn't let go~ Ouch~"

"Huh~"

The deputy director curled his lips and asked, "How can you even swallow this?"

"Of course I can't do it!"

Bai Xiyuan glared, lowered his chin and said righteously, "I am almost a generation older than you, can I be better than her, or can she be better than me!"

"Hahaha~"

The deputy director of the office smiled and asked, "What happened next?"

"later?"

Bai Xiyuan took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at the other party, and said, "The elder sister saw that I was going to refuse, so she held my hand and asked in a low voice, 'Do you and your mother love each other?'"

"???"

Not to mention the deputy director in the office, even Zhang Changming and the clerk who were standing outside the door listening had their eyes widened.

This is such a fancy way of playing!

"I heard this is a possibility!"

Bai Xiyuan raised his eyebrows and imitated me: "When the elder sister saw that I didn't say anything, she thought I was hesitating and took the initiative to give me benefits."

"what did she say?"

"She said mother and daughter, but she only counted it for me alone. What a bargain!"

"Hey! You picked it up!"

The deputy director of the office widened his eyes in surprise, clicking his tongue constantly, secretly hating himself for being lazy last night and not taking a step forward.

"Listen to me~"

Bai Xiyuan took another puff of his cigarette, pursed his lips and said, "At that time, I was as surprised and overjoyed as you are now!"

"Ten dollars, no time limit, she said that's the going rate!"

“Not really”

The deputy director took a puff of his cigarette, smiled and said, "Maybe I can tell that you have an accent from another place. This is just a one-time deal."

"I don't care. We are here to have fun, and having fun is the most important thing~"

Bai Xiyuan smoked a cigarette, raised his eyebrows and said, "The elder sister took me back to her house in many twists and turns. Guess what happened when I entered the house?"

"how?"

The deputy director of the office asked curiously, "Too small?"

"fart!"

Bai Xiyuan exhaled a puff of smoke and said indignantly: "My eldest sister opened the door and said, 'Mom, there are guests at home.' I was so scared that I turned around and ran away!"

“Cough cough~ cough cough~”

Zhang Changming stood outside the door like a clerk, pursing his lips tightly, his face turned red, and he almost laughed out loud.

Bai Xiyuan was still cursing in the room: "I am so unlucky. I don't know where the old onion came from! I was caught by it!"

"Cough cough~"

The deputy director was still coughing, feeling uncomfortable because of the smoke, but he couldn't help laughing. The more he laughed, the more he coughed, and tears came down.

"You...you...cough cough~"

The deputy director of the office covered his mouth for a while before he recovered. He waved his hands and said, "This is really funny~"

"I'm not going with you guys~"

Bai Xiyuan waved his hand and said, "You have no good ideas. You have chosen the good ones, leaving me alone to walk in the dark alley~"

"Who said that!"

The deputy director of the office emphasized: "You were not the only one who was ambushed last night. My situation was not much better~"

Then he said, "I often go to that place because I think it's easier to get things done with someone I know."

"But I don't know what happened to me yesterday, I shaved my hair off!"

The deputy director pouted his lips, looking reluctant to recall the past, and said, "That was really exciting last night~"

"How can I describe it? Time flies! It's killing me!"

"Hahaha!"

Bai Xiyuan was happy to find out that he was not the shabby one and kept laughing.

The two of them are like-minded. From last night to today, they have only seen each other for less than 24 hours, but they have already recognized each other as friends.

Drinking buddies are also friends!
"Let's not go there tonight, let's go somewhere else and I'll take you to eat something good."

"This is what you said!"

Bai Xiyuan pointed at the other party and said, "If you have that old onion, I will force you to eat it!"

"Hahahaha~"

……

This is the way of this cowardly era. When eating becomes a problem, other issues are no longer matters of principle.

The present era is different from later generations. Later generations have basically eliminated the problem of food and clothing. At least having enough food is guaranteed.

However, as time goes by, some things remain unchanged, such as:
The poor eat meat, the rich eat shrimp, and the capable like to eat king;
Men want to be tall, women want to be thin, dogs wear clothes while women show off their flesh;
In the countryside, roosters crow in the morning, and in the city, people crow in the evening...

The difference may be in cognition, which is nothing more than what you have seen and what you have not seen.

Bai Xiyuan is so mean and evil, where does his money come from?

Why he can stand firm in the Seafood Corporation, why he can remain unscathed after causing so much trouble.

Snakes and rats have their own ways, and each has its own secrets. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to learn it.

Zhang Changming has a good family background, is young, has ideals and has achieved a lot. Do you think he is a good person and a good cadre?

It’s still what Li Xuewu taught Nie Xiaoguang: what you see is not necessarily true, let alone what you hear.
-
"Vice President Zhang of the Seafood Corporation seems very angry."

Peng Xiaoli made a cup of strong tea for Li Xuewu and reminded him when he brought it to him.

"Um"

Li Xuewu snorted and asked, "Why?"

"not sure"

Peng Xiaoli told the truth: "It was after he had a drink, I saw him glaring at Director Bai."

"Oh?"

Li Xuewu paused while drinking his tea and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Of course they can't quarrel in front of us."

Peng Xiaoli reported softly: "They all look drunk, and are secretly competing with each other. Anyway, they are angry."

“Not necessarily, maybe they are talking about work.”

Li Xuewu put down his teacup and said casually: "This morning's symposium was very successful. They will naturally study and discuss it."

"..."

Peng Xiaoli looked at Li Xuewu speechlessly. In that situation, with that expression, you were so drunk at noon, and you still said they were talking about work?

I'm afraid he spoke the truth after drinking, and there was internal discord!

Another thing, whether this morning's symposium was a success or not, you still don't know for sure~
Look at those people from the Seafood Corporation. They are all so sleepy and what they say is so irrelevant that it almost made Vice President Zhang curse.

Fortunately, there were many people attending the meeting, and everyone contributed a few words to cover up the issue.

Naturally, everyone drank in anger at the lunch banquet. Andrew and his friends were fine, but Zhang Changming and his friends were very drunk.

The research plan of the Seafood Corporation in the afternoon was naturally cancelled. Everyone was knocked down by Li Xuewu, so why bother conducting a few more researches?

Inspection and research are very serious matters, but who can blame me for having a banquet at noon? Isn’t it serious enough to spend the whole morning there?

Zhang Changming felt that it was not enough, but Bai Xiyuan was holding him back.

Li Xuewu finally took the time to accompany Andrew and his group.

In the morning, we took a general look, and in the afternoon, we went to the production workshop to let Andrew know the actual situation of the shipyard.

This cannot be concealed, and Li Xuewu has no intention of hiding it. After all, he needs to learn skills from his master.

To fool Zhang Changming and his people, because they are either involved in the construction or are just customers.

Aren’t customers meant to be fooled?
Nothing wrong!

The Italian shipbuilders are no match. If they are fooled, the Yingcheng Shipyard itself will be in trouble.

In addition to the information that Li Xuewu introduced during the negotiations, Xu Sinian seized the opportunity and brought the shipyard's chief designer Liao Jing to introduce the basic situation to Andrew.

Liao Jing is a lesbian, short and thin, who looks to be in her forties, but in very good spirits.

Especially when talking to Andrew and the engineer he brought with him, he seemed very excited.

It may not be appropriate to describe it as "seeing good people, one wants to emulate them", but this is how I feel.

Andrew is a very down-to-earth person. I am not talking about his business and personal qualities, but his attitude towards production.

These old-fashioned capitalists are very practical about enterprise production management and they say what they mean.

The shipyard's equipment and technology are really backward.

He and the engineer named David shook their heads after every conversation, and Li Xuewu could see their attitudes.

Liao Jing was also very anxious, but she still patiently explained to them the current execution capabilities of the shipyard.

'Not very realistic'

Andrew looked at Li Xuewu and shook his head, saying: "It is actually impossible to complete industrial upgrading and guarantee product quality by relying solely on manpower accumulation. Li, you should know this."

"Please speak frankly, we are good friends and there is nothing we cannot say."

Li Xuewu looked at Andrew very frankly and expressed his acceptance of his final decision.

Andrew was also very hesitant and said, "Although I heard you talk about the situation here and the future development in Yangcheng, I didn't expect..."

As he spoke, he gestured to the "shabby" conditions inside and outside the workshop.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning~"

Li Xuewu took over the conversation and nodded slowly: "I must admit that my explanation of the shipyard has caused you misunderstanding, but please forgive my limitations in technology and cognition."

"Li, this..."

Andrew saw that Li Xuewu spoke so heavily and sadly, yet was still so polite, and the words of refusal he wanted to say were stuck in his mouth.

But doing business is not charity. He came all the way to the mainland and even came to the Northeast.

In fact, he was not unfamiliar with this land. To be honest, there were many merchants in Italy before the city was built, most of whom were shipbuilders.

Don’t think that when talking about shipbuilding, we have to mention Bincheng. In fact, Yingcheng has a very good geographical location.

Precisely because of this connection, Andrew became interested when Li Xuewu mentioned Yingcheng Shipyard.

But when he got here, what he saw was beyond his expectations.

I won’t talk about the factory building and stuff, after all, it’s newly built, but the machinery and equipment here are really not that good.

Of course, it is impossible that these are the equipment they left behind when they left, but in these machines, one can still see the glory of the past.

This is nonsense. Although the shipyard's equipment is not updated as fast as that of the car factory, it has been almost half a century and it is still the same.

Yes, he could see some Russian influence in the shipyard's technology, but to be honest, it was nothing surprising.

He had no problem building fishing boats, small boats, or even large cargo ships.

It's the cost...

Andrew looked at the workers and shook his head secretly. He felt that the shipyard could still be built, probably because of the labor costs.

It’s really too cheap!
Of course, it is not denied that there are advanced technologies and excellent ship resources outside that the mainland cannot obtain.

First, there is no money to buy it, and foreign exchange is tight, so it has to be placed where it is more needed.

Second, no one is selling. At this point in time, if the boss doesn’t give the order, who would dare to help the enemy?

Andrew was playing a marginal game. He wanted to cooperate with Yingcheng Shipyard to build yachts on an OEM basis.

He doesn't dare to do that with other ships because it involves the risk of technology leakage.

But yachts are different. From design to construction, they have their own set of standards.

Even if it was given to the mainland and the Yingcheng Shipyard, they would not be able to fully understand it.

Another thing, even if you understand it thoroughly, what can you do?

Just as Li Xuewu said before, there will be no yacht consumer market in the mainland for a long time in the future.

This was the actual situation he saw when he took a train from Guangzhou all the way north.

The backward villages along the way, the gray and confused world, and the occasional flashes of red all made him feel that it was impossible to create a market here.

"Li, this is not a simple technical problem, and it cannot be solved by simply upgrading the equipment."

Andrew nodded his head and said, "This is a problem of thinking..."

"What did you say?!"

Before he could finish his words, a cadre from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs corrected his dangerous words.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaling him not to be nervous, and then raised his hand to ask Andrew to continue.

"You are talking about the shipbuilding concept, construction management, technology, and so on, right?"

"Is such that"

Andrew hadn't yet understood why his words had caused such a strong reaction from the foreign affairs department cadre. He glanced at the other party and continued talking to Li Xuewu.

"The shipbuilding industry is no longer the handicraft industry of the last century."

"Material science, fluid mechanics, management science, etc., etc., it involves so many things."

Seeing him shaking his head, Li Xuewu said again in a low and sad voice: "Please forgive my ignorance. I really don't know how to understand what you said..."

Liao Jing looked at him in surprise. Although she had never met Deputy Director Li, as far as she knew, he was the most technically knowledgeable person among the leaders of the steel mill.

The understanding mentioned here does not mean the kind of mastering the technology, but the kind of understanding and support, and truly believing in science.

But why did he start to cry poor at this point, and act like he was poor and ignorant...

Not so!

Liao Jing came back in the 1950s. At the time when the motherland was being built, she resolutely resigned from her job at a top foreign shipyard and returned to China to participate in the construction.

It was precisely because of her ability in this area that she was able to take on the responsibility of running a shipyard at the age of just over 40.

As for what Andrew said, the shipyard does have backward equipment and technology.

However, this gap is not an insurmountable chasm. With the technical support provided by the Russians, there is no problem with the shipyard's production capacity.

She tried to refute Andrew several times, but was stopped by Director Xu.

At this moment, she wanted to persuade Deputy Director Li again, but was pulled back by Director Xu again.

Liao Jing looked at Director Xu in confusion, who also had a gloomy and sad expression. What was going on between these two people?

While the foreign businessman was not paying attention, Xu Sinian winked at Liao Jing, signaling her not to speak and not to be miserable.

Liao Jing could naturally see what he meant, but what did it mean?
Of course she knew she couldn't speak, but why?

Isn't this just boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige?
You can obviously persevere, be self-reliant and work hard, so why do you have to pretend to be so self-degrading?

"Mr. Andrew, my good friend, I'm sorry that I couldn't make a satisfactory inspection for you."

Li Xuewu's face was full of regret, and he kept talking about the good friendship between them.

"I didn't think this through carefully. I was delusional enough to want to learn from you and let Yingcheng Shipyard take a different path. Really~"

As he said this, he sighed intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had really suffered a great blow.

Andrew is an old man, he has seen all kinds of situations, if he threatens or acts tough, the worst that can happen is that he will lose his life.

But it is difficult for him to deal with such a "fragile and weak" person. If he really refuses her, he will feel uncomfortable.

Especially considering all factors, there are indeed certain advantages here.

If there are no major economic changes in the mainland in the next fifty years and the blockade situation does not change, he is confident that he can build a world-leading shipping company in the Pacific.

With low manufacturing costs, a potential market with lots of money and stupid people, and vast and smooth transportation channels, he couldn't think of a place more suitable for yacht business than the Pacific Ocean.

However, there is a prerequisite here, that is, the initial investment cost.

It would take three years to fully support Yingcheng Shipyard in completing its equipment and technological innovation and teach them the modern shipbuilding industry management system.

He estimated that it would take at least five to eight years to recover this investment cost.

In other words, he won't be able to make a lot of money here for a maximum of eight years and a minimum of five years.

As for businessmen, the profit they talk about is different from the actual profit they make.

According to Andrew's estimation, cost is nothing more than resources. Sometimes resources are worth a fortune, but sometimes they are just a piece of waste paper in his hands.

Pure profit generation can be achieved in less than half a year, but if you want to make big money, forget it within five years.

It will take three years to ensure that the yacht manufacturing part of this shipyard can reach the basic level of Italy, but it may not be able to reach the high standards even in five years.

Fortunately, the market here is not that competitive. Those with money buy big ones, and those without money buy small ones. It’s all for face, and there’s not much enjoyment.

How to consider it still needs to be thought about.

Especially Li Xuewu's humble attitude, which clearly showed his desire to learn and become a disciple, made him feel very embarrassed.

So, during the whole afternoon's inspection, every time he shook his head and said no, or showed dissatisfaction, Li Xuewu would show a low and sad expression at the right time.

Liao Jing finally realized that Deputy Director Li was enduring humiliation just to get the shipyard on the fast track and learn advanced technology.

She used to think that her sacrifices were great enough, but she didn't expect to see young people, especially young leaders, who have a sense of patriotism and the courage to make sacrifices.

She has met many people with such noble character, but it is rare to find someone who is in this position and can achieve such a level.

Just as Liao Jing was observing Deputy Director Li, whom she met for the first time, with appreciation and admiration, Li Xuewu also accompanied Andrew and his party to complete the afternoon's inspection mission.

After sending the foreign businessmen back to rest, Li Xuewu called everyone to a meeting in the small conference room.

His first sentence made Liao Jingzhen so confused that his brain stopped working.

"Everyone must be vigilant, know what we need and what we resist!"

Li Xuewu sat at one end of the conference table and said solemnly: "The old capitalists in the West are good at selling equipment, selling technology, and peddling their dangerous ideas!"

The meeting room was completely silent, especially the cadre from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who quietly closed his notebook, which contained all the words he had prepared to criticize Li Xuewu.

why?
Because Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill had too close contact with the Italian businessmen, especially in terms of ideological identification, and even became their apprentice. This is just nonsense.

However, before he could criticize Deputy Director Li, the other party gave them a political lesson.

This tone was even more impolite and serious than those he had prepared.

Listen, we call them foreign businessmen, but what does Director Li call them?
A good friend in front of people, a capitalist behind people’s back!

"What we want is technology, equipment, and their advanced management experience"

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said, "But everyone here knows that our organization never believes in the so-called "take-it-as-it-is" approach!"

"If you just put on someone else's clothes, not only will the size not necessarily be right, but the smell will easily make your nose irritated!"

He slapped the table again and said, "You're going to catch a cold! You're going to get an infectious disease!"

It's over~ It's over~
The foreign affairs cadres were sweating coldly as they listened to Deputy Director Li's speech. If it really got out, the higher-ups would probably investigate what he said.

"If the equipment is dead, then there can be no thoughts or ideas in it?"

Li Xuewu looked at everyone and said, "I want to give you a heads-up. Even if the equipment comes in, you still have to keep your mind straight and not get confused!"

"Not to mention the technical and management concepts! Be vigilant!"

"..."

Liao Jing was shocked, and the image she had previously built of Deputy Director Li in her mind was shattered.

This is really a reputation, both good and bad, it used to be before and now it is...

She was ignorant before, but today she finally realized what it means to turn against someone.

At the meeting, Li Xuewu specifically called out the leaders of the foreign affairs department and asked them to keep a close eye on Andrew and his group.

He emphasized how important the opportunities brought by Italian businessmen were to Yingcheng Shipyard, and at the same time instructed Xu Sinian that he had to eat this piece of fat meat even if he had to force it!
Coming out of the conference room, Liao Jing's face was still full of disbelief.

She was not doubting Li Xuewu, she was doubting herself.

Is it that the prescription of my glasses is not strong enough, or am I blind?
"Surprising?"

Xu Sinian caught up with her and walked away together. He said with a wry smile: "I used to think he was simple and kind, and a good person."

Liao Jing turned around and looked at Xu Sinian blankly. She didn't expect that she was not the first one to be deceived.

Xu Sinian glanced at her, nodded helplessly, and said: "Later I slapped myself and remembered the saying that there are no good people in this world."

"Hmm~"

Liao Jing was amused by him but still held back her laughter and said, "Not really, Deputy Director Li..."

She considered her words carefully before saying, "Young, energetic, smart, and a career-oriented person."

"Um"

Xu Sinian listened to her explaining the consensus between the two of them in various ways, and could not help but nod and give a thumbs up to Liao Jing's literary talent.

According to him, although he is young, he is definitely a piece of shit. He is insidious and cunning and will do anything to achieve his goals.

"Is everything okay?"

Liao Jing gestured in the direction of the guesthouse and said, "Something seems to be wrong over at the Seafood Corporation."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it"

Xu Sinian smiled meaningfully and promised, "I know them best. I will not say a bad word about them before I send them to the car tomorrow!"

……

We had dinner very early, maybe because we drank a little too much at lunch, so we left early.

Li Xuewu was worried that Zhang Changming might have health problems, so he ordered a few bottles of wine in the evening to help him clear his bowels.

Don’t think this is a joke. If you drink too much at noon, drinking some wine with this meal can help relieve your drunkenness.

Li Xuewu doesn’t quite understand the specific principles, these are the truths explored by the predecessors.

Don't be so disbelieving. At the dinner table, you can choose not to believe whatever they say, but you must listen carefully to what is related to drinking.

After dinner, Xu Sinian arranged for everyone to go to the city to buy "local specialties", while Li Xuewu stayed in the guesthouse to deal with Andrew.

It was still the same topic from the afternoon, but Andrew had obviously made a decision.

There was no chance for Li Xuewu to express any regret or sadness. He took the initiative to mention the backwardness of the shipyard, where technological and equipment innovations were needed, where a comprehensive quality management system needed to be established, and so on.

There is a lot of knowledge involved here, especially for an old man like Andrew. He has been around from the beginning of the century to now, and his mind is full of hard stuff.

In the afternoon, Li Xuewu showed his willingness to be a student, and Andrew seemed to have the desire to be a teacher.

So what he talked about at this time was also very comprehensive, including how to grasp the selection of technology introduction, how to carry out personnel management and cultivate technical talents.

In the end, he even gave Li Xuewu some ideas for product design and breakthrough directions in shipbuilding.

Although Li Xuewu is not a technical person, he has a good brain and had already taken out his notebook to take notes.

He could draw inferences from the drawings Andrew drew on the white paper and the knowledge points he talked about, and ask key questions.

This really tickled Andrew's itch as he loved being a teacher. He didn't see many smart students like Li Xuewu.

He learns whatever you say, and can integrate what you have learned, think divergently, and truly understand what you mean.

One taught seriously, the other learned seriously, and the translator's mouth was full of sparks.

The person in charge of foreign affairs also looked at Li Xuewu with strange eyes. If it weren't for the meeting held in the afternoon, he would definitely suspect that Li Xuewu's mind was damaged.

But the more he looked at Li Xuewu, the more he felt cold sweat on his back, especially the thirst for knowledge that Li Xuewu displayed, which did not seem to be acted.

If such a person were to work in an institution, he would be a monster!

Considering that the other party is only 20 years old and is already an important cadre at such a young age, doesn’t this confirm this point of view!

"I want to know about the introduction of fiberglass, engines, and other technologies"

Andrew raised his reading glasses, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You hope so much, do you have any other purpose?"

Look, now you can’t blame Li Xuewu for speaking harshly at the meeting. Capitalists speak very directly and ask whatever they want to ask.

"Of course"

Li Xuewu said frankly: "Just introducing these technologies cost us a lot of our factory's capital reserves, and we also made adjustments to existing production."

"With such a huge investment, these technologies are certainly not just for shipbuilding."

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?"

Andrew was also surprised by Li Xuewu's frankness. Most of the mainlanders he had interacted with were humble and reserved, and would not say many things directly.

Especially when facing his questioning, he was prepared for Li Xuewu to lie to him.

"Engine and powertrain, including electric motor and other technologies, are to be fed back to the automotive industry"

Li Xuewu said seriously: "Our factory has just finalized the design of the new car, and will complete the mass production task in the first half of next year."

"For us who have no experience or foundation in car manufacturing, it is difficult and the task is arduous."

Andrew raised his head slightly in understanding, looked at Li Xuewu, and waited for him to continue.

"But no matter how difficult it is, our factory has to take this path, just like building a ship."

Li Xuewu tapped the armrest of the sofa and said seriously: "When existing resources and mobilized unplanned resources limit future development, it is necessary to achieve self-breakthrough."

"The issues of the steel mill are very complicated. What I can say is that whether it is shipbuilding or car manufacturing, we must face the fact that we are still very backward and we need to learn and take the first step."

Andrew nodded. He could understand this "we" as the steel mill or the current mainland. Li Xuewu said this on purpose.

"Our factory cooperated with other factories to set up a part of auto parts manufacturing plant, and purchased part from other parts factories."

Li Xuewu explained: "But the core part needs to be completed by our factory ourselves, which is related to future technological iterations and updates."

"So we need technologies like engines, right?"

Andrew nodded in understanding.

“It’s not just that”

Li Xuewu moved his body, adjusted his sitting position, and continued to explain to Andrew: "Automobile and shipbuilding will bring practical economic benefits to our factory and help us achieve the transfer and innovation of heavy industry."

"It's in the steel city not far from here"

He gestured to the north and said, "We want to build a car factory, an electronics and electrical appliance factory, as well as hardware equipment and so on."

"This includes electrical housings, integrated molding of automotive parts, electrical and electronic equipment, communications engineering, arc extinguishing equipment, cable protection, insulating tubes, insulating rods and other equipment."

Li Xuewu gestured with his hands and said: "The manufacturing efficiency of the engine determines the production efficiency of the car, and the fiberglass technology determines the replacement and application of newer materials."

"Have you ever thought of building a ship?"

Andrew listened to Li Xuewu's talk and already had the answer in his mind, but he still asked this question out of concern.

Li Xuewu's reply was also very firm: "I want to build it, but I can't build it?"

Without waiting for Andrew to ask, Li Xuewu continued: "Our usage and purchasing concepts directly determine the sales characteristics of the goods."

"That is to say, in the general concept, strong and durable ones are the best."

Li Xuewu knocked on the iron coffee table in front of him and said, "If wood can be used, glass will not be used. If steel can be used, glass will be even less likely to be used. The same is true for shipbuilding."

"I understand~"

Andrew really understood that the mainland is a demand market, planned production, luxury and lightness are not the main development goals of the shipping industry.

This is definitely something I learned from the Russians, there is no doubt about it.

After clarifying the last point about the concerns about fiberglass technology, Andrew fully understood the basis for cooperation, and we could talk about cooperation next.

Coincidentally, at this moment Zhang Changming came down from upstairs, glanced at this side as if he didn't care, and then walked towards this side.

"Are you okay? You didn't drink much tonight."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet people and asked Peng Xiaoli to make tea for him.

Zhang Changming waved his hand and said, "I still feel a little dizzy. The alcohol in Northeast China is very strong."

As he spoke, he sat on the sofa, muttering: "Drinking makes me miss things, and I can't get my work done, ah~"

After everyone was seated, he gestured in Andrew's direction, as if he had just remembered, and asked, "Did I disturb you?"

“No, just chatting.”

Li Xuewu smiled, looked at him and asked, "I heard from Xiaoli that you and Director Bai had a quarrel?"

"Blame me~Blame me~"

Before Zhang Changming could answer, Li Xuewu apologized first: "It's my fault. I told Director Xu that I wanted to be a good host. I didn't expect that..."

"Don't talk about him~"

Zhang Changming seemed to be in no mood to talk about this. He took a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, and said, "I've always wanted to talk to you, but I never had the time."

There is no fool who can reach this position, let alone a drunkard.

He was drunk, so even if he was making trouble with Bai Xiyuan, it was intentional.

If we don't make such a fuss, will Bai Xiyuan leave tonight?
Han Qingwei treated him as a useless figurehead, and he also used Han Qingwei as a shield and a stepping stone for advancement.

In this respect, he is very compatible with Li Xuewu. Both of them are so young, promising, upright and kind, right?
"Our leader wants to ask about the cannery."

He looked up at Li Xuewu and asked, "I heard it's a joint-stock company?"
