Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 971 Five Years and Five Years

Look what I do!
Everyone in the steel mill knows that I have a kind heart and am honest and kind.

You want me to come up with a bad idea?!
Wrong person?!

When Li Xuewu saw Li Huaide's gaze sweeping over him, his expression couldn't help but pause slightly.

"It's the end of the year, and a batch of fat pigs have been slaughtered in the Wei San Tuan reclamation area."

"Yeah, yeah, keep going."

Li Huaide's solemn expression was as if relieved, and the heavy burden of thousands of gold suddenly collapsed at the moment Li Xuewu opened his mouth.

There is nothing in the steel mill that Li Huaide cannot solve!

If there is, it must be that he hasn't had time to ask Li Xuewu.

"Except for the Wei San Regiment that will stay for the New Year, I think we can get the canteen back and prepare for a New Year event."

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea and explained in a gentle voice: "This year's production plan has been completed so well, and the large-scale learning activities have been carried out so thoroughly. It's time to celebrate."

"and then?"

Gu Weijie was a little anxious. After listening to Li Xuewu's roundabout way, she asked, "What does this have to do with human resources management?"

“That’s a huge deal.”

Li Xuewu turned to look at Gu Weijie and said, "Let's take the report on production and construction work achievements as the theme and express our condolences and praise to the workers working on the front line."

"Of course, if we want to give praise, we have to have a certain order. In addition to the outstanding representatives and advanced individuals of enterprise employees who have performed well this year, I think we can hold a technical competition."

"Technical competition?"

Gu Weijie frowned slightly, glanced at Li Xuewu, then looked at Li Huaide, asking him what he meant.

Li Huaide raised his head slightly and said to Li Xuewu: "How do we calculate the order of skills?"

"The success or failure must be determined by a comprehensive assessment of theoretical knowledge and professional skills!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "From now on, we can start preparing and promoting the event. The New Year is not until February 8th, so we have just enough time to hold the competition."

"We decided that after the competition, everyone in the factory would eat pork on February 6th. This is called being grateful to the person who brought you the favor."

"Give them another month to learn and practice. This is called courtesy before force."

"It is fair and reasonable to hold a six-day theory and skills competition in one month."

"Finally, unqualified personnel must be rotated for labor training. This is called having a trench and a track."

"During the entire month of January, the Personnel Department organized and coordinated the formation of professional skills training teachers for senior skilled workers, and went to workshops and departments to carry out training and education."

He stood up, pointed at the calendar under the glass and explained: "Today is December 12th. Two days are enough to prepare for the event. We can announce it on the 29st."

"Starting from January 1st, all labor positions will carry out job skills training and learning activities according to their categories. The official competition will start on February 1st and end on February 2th. The assessment results will be announced while we are eating pork."

"Stretch out the order, determine the high and low, and set the passing line according to the ratio of departmental job clearance, which is fair and reasonable."

Li Xuewu sat back in his chair, looked at the two of them and said, "The main assessment will be on safety standardization, job operating procedures, job skill practice, etc. We must enforce strict test discipline to ensure fair results."

"Those with outstanding performance should be praised and rewarded, and their skill levels may be adjusted or they may be recognized with labor titles."

"We can even provide high-value material rewards such as radios, electric fans, and televisions to enhance employees' enthusiasm for competition."

"Those whose scores are above the passing line will retain their original positions, or be adjusted to technical positions based on the results of the skills competition and actual production needs."

"For those whose scores are below the passing line, there is no doubt that they are inferior in skills to others and must accept the defeat and be sent to the construction labor team to engage in production and continue learning."

"We completed the staff position adjustments and eliminations before and after the New Year in February, which gave employees enough time to react and learn, and also gave everyone time to celebrate the New Year."

"The new employees of the second phase of the first batch in March will be able to take up their posts, which will alleviate the production pressure to a certain extent and will not affect the production plan."

"In May, a new batch of employees will take up their posts. The pressure on the eliminated employees to learn and train will become greater and greater, and the work enthusiasm of the new employees will also be greatly improved."

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and the other man and said, "Now that we've given them pork to eat, given them time to study, set a competition range, and given them a generous reward, even if they were sent down to work, no one would say anything, right?"

"Well, that makes sense!"

Li Huaide's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded at Li Xuewu with an expression that said, "You are the one who is being mean." He said, "We need to create a personnel vacuum in each workshop and department, and cause competition for positions!"

"First, weed out those workers who have lax labor discipline, are lazy, and fail the skill assessment!"

He pointed at Gu Weijie and said, "Leaving these people behind and filling them into the construction team will speed up the construction of existing projects!"

Gu Weijie listened to his words, her mind spinning, but the expression on her face showed complete agreement.

But when Li Huaide turned to look at Li Xuewu to ask about the shortage of labor and construction forces, she glanced at Li Xuewu, and the look was not a good one.

Li Huaide really has no memory of being beaten for stealing food!
Do you believe what Li Xuewu said?
You're so stupid that you let Li Xuewu sell you out and still cheering for him!

You just saw that he was giving bad advice to lay off workers, but you didn't see that he was also trying to cheat you!

Think about it!

This guy is a man who can hold a boat in the prime minister's stomach!
You set a trick for him, but he doesn't even bother to stab you with the knife, he has to kick you to vent his anger!
You two were so good to each other some time ago, but later you had to get Jin Yaohui and Shi Ruoweng to disgust him and control him.

Now you just wait and see, Shi Ruoweng is lying in the hospital and dares not come back. If the knife is not stabbed well, he will definitely trick you!

This idea is so fucking bad!

Let’s see who those workers will scold then!

"Existing engineering construction projects include three factory areas of the food industry, an electronic and electrical factory, a shipyard, an automobile manufacturing plant, a hardware manufacturing plant, a tertiary industry and joint production manufacturing plant, a guaranteed residential area, a new workers' village, and a steel mill and metallurgical industry."

Li Xuewu noticed Gu Weijie's strange look, but Li Huaide was talking to him and he had no time to think.

"The automobile manufacturing plant must be completed by March, the shipbuilding plant by June, the food industry by August, and the electronic and electrical appliance factory by August..."

He didn't even need to look at the notebook, he just kept muttering, and Li Huaide's brows gradually frowned again.

"After full calculations, next year's construction work is expected to require about 15,000 construction workers."

Li Xuewu reported seriously: "In addition to the more than 2,000 people currently assigned by Dongfeng Construction, local construction units have provided part of the engineering construction force, and it is estimated that there will be a gap of about 8,000 to 10,000 people."

"so much?!"

Li Huaide's hands on the table trembled slightly, then he clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "Then these 8,000 people will be deployed in batches from the existing service offices, logistics offices and other departments, as well as front-line production workshops."

"Next year, 20,000 people will complete their training and take up new posts! It's just right for them to take up new posts in batches!"

He also made up his mind and nodded at Gu Weijie, saying, "We will strive to achieve the goal of eliminating 11,000 people by the end of the year!"

Is Old Li going crazy?
The scolding from eight thousand people was enough to make him choke, now he needs to add more insult to injury!
Gu Weijie was nervous. She looked at Li Huaide and then Li Xuewu, not sure what the two were planning.

This isn't a trick on her, is it? Don't turn around and make her the one who just watched the fun take the blame!

No, this matter must be made clear!
Gu Weijie was thinking in her mind. She had just said that the steel rolling mill originally had 15,000 employees, and added 3,000 professional and technical workers in automobile manufacturing and 2,500 professional and technical workers in shipbuilding.

Next year, we will add another 3,500 merged automobile manufacturing workers. Is that how many?

This group of employees and logistical service personnel will add another 17,000 new forces, and the overall labor and construction force will be reduced by 11,000.

If the elimination rate is calculated based on the current number of employees, the elimination rate is 40.7%.

If the elimination rate is calculated based on the total employee base, it would be 29.7%.

In other words, even if temporary workers, service teams, logistics teams and other personnel who do not have actual productivity are deployed as the main force.

When all projects go into production by the end of next year, 30 to 40 percent of the people will be involved in the construction.

From a positive perspective, this suggestion has greatly alleviated the investment and construction pressure of the factory to a certain extent, and has also reduced the waste of human resources that she is most worried about at the moment.

Especially when technical competitions and job adjustment activities are launched, they will definitely stimulate the learning and work enthusiasm of existing employees.

The problem of bloated staff that originally existed in production workshops and service departments will be completely solved.

In particular, the personnel vacuum mentioned by Li Huaide and the purpose of competitive pressure in manufacturing positions are in line with the current policy of steel rolling mills to dare to act and be brave in the process of groupization goals.

but!

Gu Weijie is very aware of the political risks involved, and I believe Li Xuewu and Li Huaide will not be blind to it.

"Director Li, we can have a skills competition, we can assign positions, and we can reduce the number of service and logistics positions."

She reminded seriously: "But with such a large-scale job transfer and adjustment, you have to pay attention to the ideological fluctuations of these 8,000 people and 11,000 people."

"Comrade Xuewu gave me some suggestions on this issue last week."

Li Huaide flipped through the documents in front of him and said: "The premise of labor recruitment work must be correct propaganda guidance and political ideological education."

"First of all, we must emphasize the spirit of dedication. In order to achieve the grand goal of groupization, to complete the construction of tertiary industry projects, and to build trade production projects, we must not only form a construction team of workers."

He looked up at Gu Weijie and continued, "We also need to form a youth assault team and a labor production culture propaganda team."

“We must also draw on the cadres from the factory organs to establish an advanced ideology with cadres, young people and staff taking the lead…”

Listening to how Li Huaide turned this matter around, from a political standpoint and in a fundamental sense, this labor team was given a deeper political mission and labor significance.

Gu Weijie turned her head and looked at Li Xuewu with slight surprise. The meaning in her eyes was obvious: You are so mean!
It is not enough to eliminate 8,000 people, but now some government officials have to be laid off.

In other words, after solving the problem of bloated staff in labor positions once, we must also solve the problem of redundant staff in management positions.

Good job!
We can hear from Li Huaide's words that this task is arduous, glorious, and carries a historical mission.

Just tell me, which of these selected cadres dares to refute?
Workers can fight to keep their jobs by participating in technical competitions, but officials in government agencies can only obey assignments!
Li Xuewu understood Gu Weijie's look, turned to look at her and smiled, then continued: "I suggest that Comrade Shi Ruoweng, deputy director of the Management Committee Office, lead the cadres to work on the production line and set an example!"

Li Huaide nodded when he saw Gu Weijie's surprised look, indicating that Li Xuewu had already discussed this matter with him.

He also said: "As long as the production and construction goals are not achieved, the team led by cadres will never be withdrawn, and cadres must be continuously assigned and transferred to the grassroots for labor training, and we must be determined to speed up the construction of the steel rolling mill project."

"..."

Gu Weijie began to understand a little. This suggestion was not only to solve the problem of overstaffing in the steel rolling mill's office, but the deeper layout was for Li Huaide and Li Xuewu to complete the adjustment of the cadre team.

Other factories are now adjusting their cadres in the name of extensive learning, sending them down to the countryside for training and study, and the steel rolling mills are doing much the same.

It is just more moderate in comparison, at least retaining the basic treatment and development opportunities for cadres.

This is certainly not to bully them, but to give them the historical mission of taking the lead in labor and making sacrifices for the goal of steel mill grouping.

They are there to take the lead in the work, but they are also in management positions, managing these workers on the front line.

Li Huaide also said that these cadres will not be withdrawn until the project is completed.

My goodness, she has read Li Xuewu’s project construction and development plan. This plan will last at least five years.

Of course, the positions in government agencies cannot be left empty during these five years. The high school and college students recruited in May and June this year will come in handy.

Young grassroots cadres will continue to emerge and advance to middle-level management positions, gradually replacing the original old ideas and stubbornness, thus realizing the rejuvenation and innovation of the cadre team.

As for what to do with those cadres assigned to the labor teams, no one can tell what will happen five years later.

In case some construction projects are added to the steel rolling mill during these five years, it may be delayed for another five years.

Five years and five years, five years and five years, if these people don't retire they will basically lose their competitiveness.

When Gu Weijie thought of this, cold sweat ran down the back of her head. She really didn't expect that she would fall into this trap.

But Li Huaide and Li Xuewu invited her to the meeting, which was just another level of compromise and discussion.

She is in charge of personnel management, and the specific implementation plans and management systems must be implemented by her.

We have put some pressure on her before and provided her with a solution. Now we are giving her a share of the cake. What do you think she will say?

“The second thing is to emphasize the spirit of learning.”

Li Huaide continued: "In the process of labor construction, we must strengthen collective learning and self-learning!"

"We need to organize job skills assessments regularly, and outstanding workers need to be re-adjusted and re-employed, either returning to their original workshops or being transferred to positions where they are more needed."

Okay!

Just now when Li Huaide emphasized the changes in personnel positions, he mentioned 11,000... The unit is not people, but person-times.

In other words, once you are assigned to the labor team, you do not stay there forever. As long as you pass the assessment, you will return to the production position.

The pressure in Gu Weijie's heart was suddenly relieved a lot. The job adjustments of more than 8,000 people would have caused a big uproar if this relaxation had not been made.

Li Huaide dared to say it, so he was naturally prepared. He continued to emphasize: "Another thing is to emphasize the issue of welfare benefits."

"There is a matching salary for any position. If the technical level does not change, the salary will remain the same."

What he said made it very clear that job adjustment is not a punishment, but simply a redistribution of labor work by the steel mill according to the workers' work ability and technical capabilities.

The salary, treatment and benefits remain unchanged, but the location and method of work have changed.

"Fourth, we must emphasize the awareness of being the master and the successor, and have a sense of the overall situation and correct technical concepts."

Li Huaide said: "Most of the newly recruited employees in the steel rolling mill are children of employees, and the positions to be adjusted are also for their children."

"We don't follow the old custom of passing down knowledge from father to son. That is a backward ideology. Let's just do a technical competition!"

"You have been adjusted. You can either achieve self-improvement, compete with technology, or compete for positions with ability."

"If we don't form a group, we must obey the overall situation and make way for the future of the steel mill and the future of the employees' children."

Gu Weijie glanced at Li Huaide, lowered her head and silently took notes, still calculating in her mind.

"I have some suggestions and plans regarding the future of this construction team."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to say: "By the end of next year, the number of workers in the labor team will reach 11,000. I estimate that 3,000 to 4,000 people will be able to return to production positions."

"In other words, the total number of people has increased, and the number of people returning to work for training also exists, but people are constantly being eliminated, achieving a virtuous circle."

"According to next year's new recruitment targets, the size of this workforce will remain at a dynamic level of 7,000 to 8,000 people within two years."

"My suggestion is to continue to train new employees to join production positions and continue to eliminate unqualified technical workers to labor positions."

"The total number of workers in the steel rolling mill is estimated to be around 40,000 by the end of next year, and 8,000 people account for one-fifth of the total. This just proves that the technical training and production labor in the steel rolling mill are meaningful."

"The continued involvement of these 8,000 people in the project construction not only exercises their minds and strengthens their will, but also supports the steel mill's project construction work for the next five years."

"The existing scientific research, education, living and other construction facilities including the Jingcheng Workers' New Village, Gangcheng Workers' New Village, Liangmahe Industrial Zone, Gangcheng Sanatorium Resort, the new Gangcheng Steel Rolling Industrial Base, and other projects will be launched in the next five years. Construction is a big problem."

"With these 8,000 people, Dongfeng Construction only needs to take on the technical management and engineering management. While saving construction funds, it can also train the workforce, killing two birds with one stone."

"I agree with Comrade Xuewu's opinion."

Li Huaide took a pill to quit smoking, and his hands and mouth were busy too.

"The three production areas of Jingcheng, Gangcheng and Yingcheng will maintain an industrial productivity of 30,000 people and retain a construction productivity of 8,000 people. We will continue to recruit workers in the next five years."

"Of course, it is impossible to delegate targets to thousands of people in batches like we are doing now."

Li Huaide looked at Gu Weijie and explained: "The recruitment focus will be on the training of workers in our own vocational and technical schools, as well as the recruitment of high school graduates and college students inside and outside the school."

"Five years!"

He raised his hand and gestured with a palm, saying: "In five years, we will be able to basically complete the construction of existing projects, and the new projects will have the capacity for sustained construction."

"The new employees have highly standardized and compliant technical production capabilities, the financial situation has completed a virtuous cycle, and the entire factory has completely transitioned to a group production management model..."

Gu Weijie could see that Li Huaide highly agreed with Li Xuewu's personnel suggestion.

In the subsequent communication, she did not mention any new issues. Regarding the two directions currently discussed, she also said that the personnel work plan for next year would be revised and discussed at the meeting next Monday.

Because Li Xuewu and Li Huaide had to hold talks with visiting Italian business representatives in a while, she left first after the meeting.

Just as she was about to leave, she looked back at the two people who were still discussing, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

The old fox wants to scheme against everyone, and the little fox wants to remove the stool, dismantle the old fox's mass and political foundation, and cut off one of the old fox's legs.

This game is so fun!
-
"You dare call this a blueprint?!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Xuewu, as a business representative, welcomed Andrew and his party downstairs at the guesthouse.

The other party's show was quite grand, not because Andrew brought a lot of people, but because he was given a lot of commercial service personnel.

Li Xuewu just took a quick glance, greeted these people, and then took Andrew and others to the conference room on the second floor.

The conference room in the main office building is mainly used for internal meetings, and currently external meetings are basically held in the guesthouse.

In the future, for external meetings or considering the convenient conditions in the city, we will also consider holding receptions at the International Hotel.

After a few pleasantries, everyone sat down on both sides of the conference table at Li Huaide's invitation.

Andrew came here with great sincerity this time, and he will leave with a definite attitude.

So when he first expressed his opinion, he submitted a thick stack of ship manufacturing drawings to the steel mill.

As the chief technical engineer, Xia Zhongquan also attended the meeting with the ship technical engineers from the technical office.

Li Xuewu sat next to him, listening to Andrew's speech, and casually took out a ship design drawing to look at it.

As he fiddled with the blueprint in his hand, he couldn't help but whisper to Xia Zhongquan beside him: "You dare to call this a design blueprint?"

After saying this, he curled his lips and said with disdain: "What a crap you drew, it's not even as good as mine."

"..."

Xia Zhongquan was stunned for a moment, looked at the drawings in Li Xuewu's hand, and recalled the masterpieces of this soul designer in the past, and tears almost fell.

He was also used to seeing soulful masterpieces, and he felt inexplicably sad about this kind of "conventional" design draft.

"It's certainly not as good as your painting. At least it lacks some soul."

"..."

Mr. Zhou, an expert in Huaqing shipbuilding, was sitting next to them. When he heard their conversation, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

There was even a hint of pity and a bit of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Xia Zhongquan.

Pity is the respect for Xia Zhongquan's ability to endure humiliation, and contempt is that Old Xia's flattery is a bit fawning.

"Well, you still understand me!"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, giving Xia Zhongquan a look that said, "We are family."

He thinks he is a soul harvester and has more than 200 souls in his hands. Do you want to compete with him in soul design?

Who said that? Come out and let me see!

I think your soul is particularly suitable for my design draft, please lend it to me!
Xia Zhongquan fully admires and praises Li Xuewu's design ability, but he really can't praise Li Xuewu's design works.

What can he do facing Li Xuewu's smile?
Of course, I had to respond with an admiring smile, then turn my head away and pretend to listen to the Italian business representative's speech.

Andrew had inspected the production and operation capabilities of the steel rolling mill last time, and personally accompanied Li Xuewu to Jicheng to visit the shipyard.

This time, it was not just a matter of continuing negotiations. He brought a complete set of cooperation and procurement plans with him in a very clear manner.

Here, the fiberglass production equipment and technology discussed last time, as well as the production equipment and technology of powertrain systems such as diesel engines, transmissions, gearboxes, generators, etc. are marked in detail.

Andrew said that the complete production equipment and technology he could provide only included the parts mentioned above, and the rest needed to be purchased in the mainland.

Li Xuewu had been preparing for today's negotiations for a long time, so naturally he didn't care about his problems.

As the commercial negotiation representative of the steel rolling mill, he also took the initiative to explain the production cooperation of core components.

Except for fiberglass, which needs to be produced in cooperation with Beijing Glass Factory, other equipment will be independently produced by the rolling mill itself.

Andrew had already received the cooperation plan for this part, so the two parties quickly completed the negotiation agreement on core components.

“Yacht manufacturing is not a job that can be completed by one person or one factory”

He sat on the other side of the desk, spread out his hands and said: "I have no doubt about your factory's shipbuilding capabilities, but yachts are special, especially the procurement of parts."

"Mr. Andrew"

Li Xuewu spoke directly in French, and at the same time gestured to the other party's secretary, asking him to translate it into Chinese for others to hear.

"Our factory's decision to take on your company's production order is not an impulsive boast, nor is it a deception of your time and feelings. Our goals are the same."

He said sincerely: "The road to development and construction will definitely not be smooth. We are willing to work together with your company to solve all the difficulties and problems encountered on the road to development."

"We also ask Mr. Andrew to have confidence in our cooperation like we do and to raise any questions or difficulties you have."

"Thank you Mr. Li Xuewu"

Andrew nodded to his entourage, looked at the concerned eyes of everyone in the conference room, and then said: "I would like to raise a few purchasing requirements."

Li Xuewu calmly raised his head slightly, indicating that he could speak and he was listening.

Andrew nodded and said: "First of all, the engine room auxiliary equipment, including air compressors and supporting equipment, air conditioning and refrigeration, pressure vessels and other equipment."

"Okay, sure, no problem."

Li Xuewu raised his hand seriously, found a cooperation document from the documents at hand and placed it in the middle of the table.

"This is a cooperation agreement between our factory and Beijing Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing Plant. The main content is the purchase of equipment for the modification of refrigerated trains."

While the translator was quietly explaining the document in detail to the other party, Li Xuewu also gave a brief introduction: "Including air compressors, air conditioners and pressure vessels, we can contact the refrigeration equipment factory to complete the production task according to the purchasing standards you proposed."

At the end of the translation, the translator nodded to Andrew, indicating the authenticity and completeness of the document.

Andrew was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the steel mill had its own large equipment such as refrigerated transport trains.

He looked at the documents in the translator's hand, turned to Li Xuewu and continued: "We need to purchase deck machinery, including mooring equipment, anchors, anchor chains, chain (anchor) devices, etc."

"besides"

Without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, he continued, "Lifebuoy, life raft, waterproof clothing, thermal insulation clothing, heat preservation clothing, fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment."

"Instruments, electronic appliances, wires and circuits, communication electronics and other aviation electrical appliances."

"Spraying equipment, sandblasting equipment, abrasives, special paints and other surface treatment tools."

He listed a long series of purchasing requirements in one breath, as if to emphasize the special nature of yacht manufacturing.

"Don't mention paint and spray tools, we are a professional shipyard."

Li Xuewu's answer was very straightforward and direct: "Deck machinery, aviation electrical appliances, engineering equipment, surface treatment and other needs can be purchased and assembled directly from Yingcheng Shipyard."

"We at Yingcheng Shipyard also have instruments and electronic control equipment. If you have special requirements, we also have a professional design and research team to provide special production guidance."

He flipped through the documents and provided the translator with a document on cooperation with Beijing Television Factory.

"Our factory is cooperating with the Beijing Television Factory to develop tertiary industry to meet the production needs of electrical instruments and other engineering projects."

I don’t know if the translator can explain the meaning of the tertiary industry clearly to the other party, but Li Xuewu doesn’t care.

"Life buoys, life rafts, waterproof clothing, thermal insulation clothing, heat preservation clothing, fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment are not a problem at all."

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Li Huaide with a smile, and said: "Our factory has its own fire-fighting equipment manufacturing plant, and our product sales are very successful."

Li Huaide felt the confidence from Li Xuewu. He also smiled slightly, and his eyes were full of pride when he looked at Andrew.

How dare you, a family-owned shipyard, compare yourself with a group enterprise that is committed to building a trust-like enterprise? It's like an ant trying to shake a tree.

We are called a steel rolling mill, do you really think we are a steel rolling mill?!
Li Huaide is now increasingly looking forward to establishing a group company, which will be called the Red Star Group in the future, the kind that makes people envious when they hear it.

Sitting in the conference room were not just people from the steel mill, nor were they just Italian business representatives. Officials from other departments such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry saw what Andrew meant and smiled playfully at this time.

Seeing that Li Xuewu answered so easily, Andrew frowned and looked seriously at the document handed over by Li Xuewu.

The translator quickly explained the contents of the contract to him and guaranteed the reliability of the relevant cooperation.

“Yacht manufacturing is a very complex and rigorous project”

Andrew seemed to be annotating his own pettiness and worries. After looking at the document in his hand, he said: "In addition to the industrial foundation, we also need rich living facilities."

"Including office, living, kitchen, sanitation, furniture, electrical appliances, decoration, etc."

He explained: "Welding, cutting, and flaw detection are used on yachts, and special glass, hardware, plastic, rubber, steel, wood, etc. are required."

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu was not surprised by Andrew's emphasis and even chuckled.

His performance today was nothing like the lack of knowledge he had when he was looking at the blueprints just now.

What Xia Zhongquan admires most is this point about him. No matter whether he understands it or not, he dares to brag and he can brag on point!
"Special glass, hardware, plastic, rubber, and steel can all be purchased from the United Tertiary Industry Enterprises"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said with a smile: "I said, please have confidence in our cooperation, we are a very large company."

"We can produce the office, living, kitchen, sanitary, electrical appliances, wood furniture and decorations you mentioned by ourselves."

"For things that our factory cannot produce, we have joint enterprises. For things that the joint enterprises cannot produce, we can purchase them from supply chain companies."

Li Xuewu pointed to the wood furniture mentioned in the plan and introduced: "What a coincidence, we just received the news."

As he said this, he glanced at everyone at the conference table and said with a smile: "Our factory's cooperative distribution unit is planning to build a large furniture manufacturing plant in Tianjin."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone in the conference room chuckled as they listened to Li Xuewu's humorous tone.

Although Andrew had doubts in his heart, he still maintained a gentlemanly smile on his face.

He did want to use the complexity of yacht manufacturing to make it difficult for the steel mill in negotiations.

Don’t say that foreigners don’t know how to show their power, they are very good at it!
The desire to cooperate was strong, but that did not stop him from deliberately making things difficult for the steel mill.

As long as the steel mill shows any ambiguity or hesitation at the negotiation table today, it will be suppressed by the other side in momentum.

This is related to the issue of initiative and voice in the entire cooperation process.

Andrew didn't expect that the steel mill was so well prepared, and all the problems were solved and answered.

It's like a steel mill that has everything except an old man like him who needs to provide a design and manufacturing plan.

In today's game of cards, the trump card he played at the beginning didn't work at all against Li Xuewu.

When others see that pile of drawings, they will be shocked, confused, respectful and admiring.

But in the eyes of Li Xuewu, the only evaluation he got was “What a crap your drawing is, it’s not even as good as mine.”

This is called ignorance is bliss; when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly.

Andrew knew he couldn't win, but he still had a backup plan.

Just as the negotiations were coming to an end, Andrew invited representatives from the steel rolling mill to go to Tianjin and the Yingcheng Shipyard for on-site inspection and work.

The Italian side had already reported this arrangement in advance, and the on-site invitation was just a way for Andrew to show courtesy.

As the person in charge of the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide first expressed his gratitude for Andrew's invitation. He also extended an invitation to Andrew on behalf of the steel rolling mill.

Invite the other company to move into the steel rolling mill's trade center in Tianjin to conduct business.

The two sides concluded the negotiations in a polite and peaceful atmosphere.

The restaurant of the guesthouse had already prepared a Chinese feast to entertain the God of Wealth of the steel mill.

According to the negotiation meeting process, after lunch, Li Huaide and Li Xuewu led the relevant personnel of the steel rolling mill's Foreign Affairs Office, Economic and Trade Office, Technical Office, and Management Committee Office, accompanied Andrew's team, and relevant comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and the Ministry of Industry to the Beijing Railway Station and boarded the train to Tianjin.

At the negotiation meeting, Li Huaide's proactive invitation was the same as Andrew's false politeness.

Andrew had already communicated with Li Xuewu, and he would place the technical team and production management team in Tianjin.

Due to the situation and political conditions, Tianjin's Trade Management Center rented several offices for office use.

Why should we choose the Tianjin Resettlement Office?

The office was supposed to be in Yingcheng, but he brought the technical workers and management team. These people are all foreigners and need living and entertainment, which the mainland certainly will not and cannot provide.

There are often cargo ships traveling to and from the Tianjin Port Terminal. His people all have a "home" in the port city, so the Tianjin Resettlement Office makes it convenient for these foreigners to return to the port for vacation.

The lifestyle of foreigners is different from that of mainland workers. For them, work is work, but there must be life and entertainment.

Especially in this era, technical personnel are very popular and are Andrew's favorites.

This time, Andrew's trade negotiation team will accompany Li Huaide to Tianjin and stay at the Tianjin Trade Management Center for one night.

The two parties also had a simple moving-in ceremony at the Tianjin Trade Management Center, and Andrew also had to arrange for people to start working directly.

Tomorrow morning, Li Xuewu will serve as the negotiation representative of the steel rolling mill and will go to Yingcheng Shipyard for inspection and negotiation with others on Andrew's yacht.

It was impossible for Li Huaide to take the other ship, especially a cross-sea voyage. What if something went wrong?

Andrew's technical and production management team are already waiting in Tianjin. They will go to Yingcheng with the fleet and come up with a construction supplement plan.

This is the temporary negotiation process. What Li Xuewu can see now is that old Andrew seems to want to show off to him.

Because this trade negotiation team is more important and has more people, we coordinated with Beijing Station to arrange a soft-seat carriage.

It was also quite interesting on the train. Li Huaide knew the accompanying cadres from the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Liu Shaozong, deputy director of the Planning Department of the First Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.

Gao Yaqin is the deputy director of the Technical Department of the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation in Europe.

However, the deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accompanied him was Li Xuewu's old acquaintance, Zhou Gancheng.

He was the foreign affairs cadre who handled the Li Shu incident in Northeast China.

The two men stood at the connection of the train, each holding an unlit cigarette, looking at each other in silence, which was quite funny.

Li Xuewu saw that Zhou Gancheng was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes, as if to ask, how come you have become a deputy director?
