Men and women eating in the courtyard

The beds in international hotels are huge, especially when sleeping alone.

He Yuyu had insomnia, just like that bastard walking clean and free, extremely chic.

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

But when he stood at the door, motioning to the room, he said to himself: Women always talk without thinking for a few days, and the most appropriate solution is to be alone and quiet.

At that time, she really wanted to raise her hand and punch him, hitting his hateful mouth.

But she just thought about it and didn't take action. She was just angry, not crazy.

The bastard told her that the room was non-refundable and the internal price was five yuan a night, including breakfast, and she could call to have her meal in the room.

After saying that, he ignored her angry gaze and turned around to leave, neatly and crisply.

He Yuyu really wanted to follow him downstairs and go home, but when he thought about what his sister-in-law said when he came out, he looked at the splendid room.

She knew that Li Xuewu was not a bad person.

But he is a bastard, a kind bastard who is more irritating than a bad guy and makes people...

French-style wall decoration, large bed with carved gold columns, white curtains, green table runner, thick purple velvet curtains... This room is impeccable, but it lacks a touch of warmth.

Even though this was the most comfortable and luxurious room Yuyu had ever slept in, and she had never dared to imagine it, she still couldn't sleep alone.

There is no shortage of love at first sight or childhood sweethearts in this world, but far-fetched love is often not seen.

If it was true, as his sister-in-law said, that strong-willed melons are not sweet, then why should he be so tolerant and caring to her.

If he really didn't care for her, why would he pretend to be such an upright gentleman and not mess with anyone?

If he was really a gentleman, then what she had heard and seen was like.

Is she not even as good as Qin Huairu and Yu Li?

That night, He Yuyu tossed and turned with so many thoughts. He never thought that a man could be so complicated. He should know what it meant as he waited for him in the cold night.

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

But life is like a quagmire and swamp. The more desperate you are, the deeper you sink and it is difficult to turn back.

Sometimes time will be very slow, just like Yu Yu can see, the dawn outside the window of the International Hotel will not come for a long time.

Time sometimes flies very quickly, just like the work calendar on Li Xuewu's desk, ticking and disappearing.

On January 28, the electronic and electrical industrial production equipment entrusted by Japanese merchants, Hong Kong merchants and Ng Fung Hong to be purchased by the steel rolling mill arrived at the Yingcheng Port Terminal.

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

On January 29, the People's Publishing House contacted Li Xuewu and reprinted 200,000 copies of "Double Emergency Plan."

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

It’s not just that there are no royalties for reprints. In fact, writers in this period now have no royalties. It’s an “integrated” management.

There is another piece of "good news" on the 29th that makes people scold me. What Li Xuewu was talking about a few days ago has come true.

"People's Daily" published a notice today: In compliance with the demands of the masses, it officially announced that "the old custom will be broken and there will be no holidays during the Spring Festival."

Li Xuewu didn't know who the "majority of people" were. Anyway, they were as mysterious as the "relevant departments".

Not only are there no holidays during the Spring Festival, but family leave is also suspended, saying it will be made up later.

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

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

Peng Xiaoli was full of complaints and did not dare to say it in front of Li Xuewu, but the mutterings in his mouth were full of displeasure.

He was not happy, and neither were the workers at the rolling mill.

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

All major railway stations and bus stations are using radio to take turns broadcasting notices that there will be no holidays during the Spring Festival.

Many people who originally bought train and bus tickets and planned to go home for the New Year, after hearing this notice, went to the ticket office to refund their tickets and returned to work.

In recent years, there are not many people who dare to express themselves and tell the truth like Peng Xiaoli.

Anyway, someone has suggested it and the higher-ups have notified it, so everyone can only do it.

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

In fact, what Peng Xiaoli didn't know was that there would be no holiday during the Spring Festival for more than ten years.

His discomfort was not just once, but followed him throughout his youth.

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

Are you saying that this regulation only affects urban residents, workers and government officials?

Of course not, it’s a comprehensive and three-dimensional notification, so don’t be idle.

Winter is originally a slack season for farming, but farmers still have to participate in labor, turning winter slack into winter busy time.

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

Not only did he support it, even when everyone got together to talk about it, all they said was support.

One by one, they competed to advance and work harder, and no one said how absurd this decision was.

However, the helplessness in each other's eyes could not be concealed, after all, there were only a few days of vacation in a year.

No one was born from a crack in the stone, and they were all raised by their parents, so they had to be given time to reunite.

No one was a machine that could run day and night as long as they were given some oil and connected to a power source or power.

The factory leaders were actually helpless, and they also discovered the undercurrents and emotions hidden under the voices of support.

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

The smart ones have actually seen the meaning behind this new opinion.

The 8th of next month, New Year's Eve, is the weekend.

In other words, those who don't rest this year can rest, even if it is a weekend rest.

However, the discussion about this matter in the factory has not stopped, and even Peng Xiaoli has been nagging him for a whole day.

This kid has a tendency to talk a lot recently, that is, 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 last meeting.

Including the tertiary industry project of the steel mill 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 for inspection for the time being.

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

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

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

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

The plan is committed to solving the current situation of excessive reliance on the full independent production of parts by existing automobile manufacturers, advocating the optimization of technology and production models, and creating a new upstream and downstream pattern of automobile production in different regions.

This is not a new project of the steel mill. It can be seen from the visits and investigations of automobile parts production factories across the country that the steel mill has already laid out.

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

Automobile production is definitely not just a jeep or motorcycle factory that can be built and manufactured.

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

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

The purpose of the steel mill still retaining the parts procurement team is just like this.

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

But once the supply chain project is achieved, the benefits and influence it generates will far exceed the automobile industry of the steel city itself.

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

It should develop in parallel with the automobile industry of the steel mill to avoid top-heavy.

The current cooperative unit is only Beijing Second Automobile, and the procurement channels within the supply chain are mainly short-term customized contracts.

But in the future, the supply chain will change this production and procurement pattern, and may even acquire parts processing plants in turn, and then 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 tip of the iceberg has already made him marvel, and he is even more impressed and awed by the existing development goals of the steel rolling mill, which are highly clear and have strong execution.

It is not that the supply and marketing cooperatives have more money to look for investment projects, on the contrary, it is because of less money.

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

Good projects are rare, and projects that are stable and controllable are even rarer.

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

The case happened in Dongcheng, and the key figures and contradictions were also in Dongcheng Credit Union.

The management of the credit union was adjusted in time. Bao Peigang was newly transferred here, so he was naturally motivated.

He was very familiar with the management and actual situation of the Dongcheng Credit Union. He did a lot of homework and even applied to review the case materials at that time.

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

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

Unexpectedly, someone really read his opinions on the current office system of the credit union system, as well as the security and accounting systems.

Bao Peigang also looked up this opinion and checked the investigation context of the entire case.

You don't know until you check it. Once you check it, you will be shocked. It turns out that the big case that shocked the whole Dongcheng was solved by this criminal investigation expert named Li Xuewu from beginning to end.

Especially combined with that inconspicuous but unexpected opinion to him, 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 sure that he had met a young man with real talent and great power.

This was not his evaluation, but the evaluation of Li Xuewu by the person in charge of the case and those people during his investigation.

So he contacted his friends in the discipline inspection department and wanted to meet Li Xuewu.

But he never thought that Li Xuewu, who was not private, would make the meeting with him a public matter.

However, in this way, the meeting between the two was open and normal, and there was a second meeting.

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

Bao Peigang could see that Li Xuewu's speech was still relatively cautious, and he cared a lot about the environment and identity.

He was not disappointed, but was more surprised and recognized by Li Xuewu's mature performance.

There are many problems in credit unions, but the ice is not frozen in a day. If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you still need to work slowly.

Therefore, even if Li Xuewu has valuable opinions on the reform of credit unions, he is 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 proposed the willingness and desire for comprehensive economic cooperation to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

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

It intends to invest in the commercial category of the workers' village project of the steel rolling mill and apply to build a savings service center.

It intends to cooperate with the steel rolling mill to explore the training mechanism and practice of financial personnel and security personnel, and participate in the Red Star training ground project.

…

There are really many cooperation projects listed in the formally submitted letter of intent for cooperation. As for the projects mentioned by Li Xuewu, the projects they learned about themselves were marked with the willingness to cooperate.

Li Xuewu was of course willing to give money, and other projects could be discussed, but he had different opinions on savings.

He didn't know how the credit savings would develop in the future, but the money bags of the steel rolling mill workers could not be put in the hands of others.

Li Xuewu mentioned this cooperation intention at the communication meeting. It is okay to do savings, but it must be in the form of cooperation.

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

The unit is jointly led by both parties, with complete autonomy of funds, and jointly developed investment projects, mainly for factory asset processing, workers' salary payment and savings, engineering project investment, etc.

Bao Peigang attaches great importance to Li Xuewu's opinions and is also thinking about the possibilities and advantages and disadvantages of this cooperation.

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

Even if the credit union formally proposed the intention of cooperation, Li Xuewu and Bao Peigang knew that there was still a long way to go before the day of reaching cooperation.

After all, it is rare for a unit with the nature of a bank to cooperate with a production unit to develop fund operations.

The most common is actually the payment of workers' wages and savings, and generally credit unions provide financial solutions as service providers.

Now Li Xuewu wants to reach out to make money, and to hold the money bag, affecting 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 model of plucking feathers from passing geese, and he wanted to make all the money.

Li Xuewu was angry, complaining that he was doing it for the good of the factory, and threatened her that next time she would have to try what it meant to plucking "feathers" from passing geese.

——

"How did time pass so fast?"

Li Xuewu looked down at the work calendar through the thick glass on the 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, and it has been a thousand years in the world."

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

"I was thinking about it, it would be better if they send it to me now!"

Li Xuewu pointed at the calendar with a smile and asked, "Is it the International Hotel that Deputy Director Jing went to today?"

"Yes, Deputy Director Jing led the team, and Director Sha also went there"

Peng Xiaoli introduced: "The docking talks that started last Thursday have not made much substantive progress, and they are still in the understanding stage."

"Director Sha is actually very attentive"

Speaking of this, he also took the initiative to praise Sha Qizhi: "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 smiled and nodded, not paying attention to his words, and asked again: "Have the personnel adjustment work been completed?"

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

While introducing, Peng Xiaoli found the corresponding documents from the file box and placed them in front of Li Xuewu.

"It was mainly 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, but a procedural document to be submitted after the handover. It does not need to be signed or reviewed immediately, so Peng Xiaoli did not put it in the work document.

This was originally arranged by Li Xuewu, and it only needs to be taken out when the leader asks or inquires.

Peng Xiaoli has figured out Li Xuewu's working habits. He is no longer as restrained and flustered as he was at first. He feels more relaxed and confident.

"Leader, it's Saturday today, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"Hmm?"

Li Xuewu was looking at a document. Hearing him say that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

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

"You know all this?"

Li Xuewu's face moved slightly, and he said: "It seems that the security work of the International Hotel is not in place."

"Don't scare me."

Peng Xiaoli pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a weak voice: "The International Hotel does not entertain external guests. It is also the counterpart of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the steel mill's own reception unit. It is not taboo."

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

"Don't you know?"

Li Xuewu closed the file, nodded and said: "Tell Deputy Group Leader Yu to arrange a post inspection after the New Year to see how he performs his duties."

"And more!"

After he finished his instructions, he nodded and reminded Peng Xiaoli: "Tell the International Hotel to be low-key and not to be ostentatious. At the same time, tell the Security Department to strengthen safety management."

"I know, I'll do it now."

Peng Xiaoli saw that Li Xuewu was serious, so he also responded seriously.

When he saw that the leader had nothing else to tell him, he said something and turned around and left the office.

In fact, Li Xuewu did not deny the weekend dance party. It was 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 thought.

In addition, the dancing activities there were not initiated by Han Yating and Zhang Songying on their own initiative.

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

Otherwise, how could Li Xuewu say that Lao Li is both a novice and a playful person? Being flattered by girls like Zhou Miaomiao, he really thinks that his dancing skills are superb.

A few days ago, I was so scared when I called Li Xuewu late at night. It seems that there is nothing to do these days, so I want to have fun again.

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

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

Of course, the International Hotel has also made a lot of money this time, otherwise you would think that the internal price of the high-end room is 5.5 yuan, where did the money go.

The internal price of 5.5 yuan is even more outrageous for foreign businessmen or foreign affairs individual guests.

Even if the internal equipment and facilities are advanced and excellent, and the service is particularly considerate and thoughtful, the foreigners don’t feel bad staying there for more than ten or twenty yuan a night. The waiters were surprised.

On the one hand, they lamented that the foreigners are really rich, and on the other hand, they lamented that their unit is really black-hearted.

If we talk about black-heartedness, we have to mention the teahouses and coffee shops in the International Hotel, and then the high-end kitchens.

Li Xuewu explained to Zhang Songying the tricks that foreigners used to make money from Chinese people in later generations.

With the ready-made health-preserving chefs of Shang Shifu, these foreigners who are obsessed with Chinese culture can also taste the beating of capital.

The dishes should not be large in quantity, but exquisite in style, with more fancy decorations and fairy-like names.

What you eat is not food, but culture and cultivation, focusing on a stylish pit.

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

Capital is mobile. When a big fish turns the river and the sea upside down, there will naturally be a group of people following behind to eat the melons.

With such a small size as the recycling station, there is endless wealth to operate just by relying on the steel rolling mill.

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

As for the development of recycling stations and shipping terminals in Gangcheng, he was also clueless and copied the Beijing model, cooperating with local governments and steel mills.

Fortunately, Dong Wenxue was at the steel mill, and he also knew him, so it was not difficult to communicate.

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

Not only did he assist Dongfeng Construction in carrying out engineering recruitment business in the local area, but he also coordinated several parties to complete the procurement of building materials.

Not to mention the benefits in the middle, even the relationships made during the operation are also a considerable fortune for him in Gangcheng.

What's more, the steel rolling mill also has a personnel recruitment quota of 1,000 people in Gangcheng, and there are many people who rely on relationships.

Even if the steel rolling mill has set academic qualifications 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 to do things for the steel mill, and also to help the steel mill maintain local relations, so naturally we have to give some face.

When the basic conditions are met, Li Wenbiao did arrange some people to work in the factory.

This also opened up the pattern and ideas for his work in the local area, and he can be considered to have made his way in the Steel City.

There are always problems between the local government and the steel mill that are not convenient to communicate and solve directly. Through his coordination and operation, solutions can always be found.

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

After Gangcheng was settled, the work in Jicheng became much easier. Li Wenbiao also had time to go to Jicheng twice.

With the help of his second uncle, Xilin also found a foothold in Jicheng.

Although she was not as popular as Li Wenbiao and was not familiar with the local area to a certain extent, her relationship with the forestry industry was stable.

After the winter, Li Xuewu coordinated the Xicheng No. 3 Prison and the newly cooperated Chadian Farm to successively consume four train cars of logs from Jicheng Forestry, which solved a big problem.

This part of the wood was originally an unplanned product. If it is not disposed of this year, after the plan starts next year, this part will be considered as a waste of work and will be allocated.

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

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

At that time, their leaders did not seem to trust Li Xuewu's relationship too much, and they had the mentality of trying their best.

Unexpectedly, after the beginning of winter, Xilin took the initiative to contact and ask for timber, and even prepared the train for transportation.

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

But the premise is not that you have to have this ability. The dispatch of train cars alone is a big problem.

In addition, not everyone can cooperate with the forestry industry. Even if these timbers are redundant, they cannot be allocated to individuals casually. What if something goes wrong?

After all, this is unplanned. The part that exceeds the plan has been written off in the forestry industry. The money is transferred to logistics or to someone else's pocket.

If the account is gone, it will be troublesome if there is an investigation suddenly.

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

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

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

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

Just for furniture, the recycling station grandma's tool box has not been opened for a long time, and it is completely out of stock.

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

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

In addition, with the liquidity of joint trade, as long as these wooden products are manufactured, redesigned, packaged and installed, they will be packed and loaded on the train and transported to where they are needed.

As long as the items are purchased with tickets, they must be planned and in short supply.

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

Grandma now has no time to do it herself, and is mostly busy with furniture design.

Li Xuewu arranged to purchase a lot of foreign furniture design style books and materials from the port city for Grandma's reference.

Now the recycling station still controls the resources for furniture production, and there must always be a basis for taking this part of the dividend.

The consequence of the popularity of glass coffee tables in Beijing is that glass factories have developed the techniques of acid and alkali corrosion, and mass production has seized the furniture market.

No business can be profitable for a lifetime, and this day has been expected.

Grandma has become accustomed to this situation, but Shen Guodong is a little narrow-minded and has been complaining about it several times.

Li Xuewu gave him an idea to make modular furniture, bind the market, and 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.

Including all the parts that can be assembled into a cabinet are disassembled for production and sales.

How many meters, how many sections, and what pattern of furniture the customer needs, can be bought and assembled by themselves.

It is convenient for customers to purchase and choose, and it is convenient for factories to produce and transport.

It mainly reduces the costs of both parties and directly competes with those furniture factories on price.

This is Li Xuewu's old routine that can't afford to play with sand, and he will start a price war if he disagrees.

The only disadvantage of assembling furniture is that the design needs to be particularly delicate and the size needs to be carefully grasped.

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

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

Li Xuewu just smiled when he heard him say this, and did not say that he was wishful thinking.

At the beginning of a business, you can't kill it with one stick. If this project can cultivate Shen Guodong's overall view, it is worth it no matter how much he earns.

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

Don't talk about monopoly all the time. Except for tobacco, salt... and so on, others are just jokes.

Monopoly furniture? You want to eat shit!

——

"Leader, there is your letter"

Peng Xiaoli came back to report, and brought back his letter.

Even if there is a phone, letters are still the most important way of communication in this era.

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

Some of them talked about work, some about life, some about family, and some were just nonsense.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to the letter at first, but after reading the document in his hand and glancing at it, he took it seriously.

Steel City Forward, Nakamura from Nissho.

The letter was written in Chinese very thoughtfully. It first asked about his health, and then talked about this time's machinery purchase and his expectations for the electronic and electrical appliances factory.

At the same time, he also talked about the development of the international electronic and electrical industry, especially Lijiapo, saying that electrical appliance production is also taking place there.

The whole letter gave Li Xuewu a feeling that time was waiting for me.

At the end of the letter, Nakamura mentioned that he was grateful for the gift Li Xuewu gave him last time, and specially prepared a generous gift in return.

If it weren't for Nakamura's reminder, he would have forgotten what he gave last time, which was the book he wrote.

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

What did Nakamura give?

The three-piece color TV set, washing machine, and refrigerator are all relatively high-end.

Why do you think Li Xuewu squinted his eyes, and why did you think it was funny?

Of course, when I squint my eyes, I don't think Nakamura is bribing me, or causing me financial trouble.

He felt that Xiao Gui Shang always acted with a petty attitude and was always scheming in his heart.

Transported from such a long distance by ship, I gave him these three household appliances.

Didn’t you, Zhongcun, know that these things are available in China?

In fact, he knew, and even more so, that Li Xuewu had the ability to buy these, but he still gave them away.

Why?

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

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

I will give you three household appliances. Use them yourself and compare them to see which one is better, ours or yours.

I am playing with my heart, but I am afraid that the steel rolling mill will have other ideas, eat up their investment and support, and turn to its own production.

It is very likely that the steel rolling mill chose three foreign companies to cooperate with in the procurement, which aroused the vigilance of the other parties.

Otherwise, Li Xuewu thought they were ridiculous, and all his tricks were used here.

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

Li Xuewu clicked on the list and told Peng Xiaoli: "It's not convenient for Deputy Director Gu to live alone, so give this to her."

After that, he clicked on the color TV and explained: "Director Li has the habit of watching TV news every night, so I gave this one to him."

"This refrigerator is for free..."

"Hey! Leader~~~"

Peng Xiaoli felt distressed when he saw that the leader was giving away all the gifts sent by foreign businessmen in a few words.

There were reasons for giving away the previous two things to Deputy Director Gu and Director Li. He felt sorry for Li Xuewu when he had to give away this refrigerator.

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

"Haha, what's so good about this baby?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him with a chuckle, let go of the list, sat back on the chair, and said: "It's just some household appliances. Our electrical appliance factory will be completed this year, and maybe next year you can have it at home too." There is a refrigerator."

"I don't dare think about it!"

Peng Xiaoli smiled bitterly and said: "This thing doesn't look cheap at first glance. It is shipped in from abroad."

He picked up the list and looked at it, but still felt distressed and said, "Even if our factory produces it ourselves, I can't afford it."

"Be more ambitious!"

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 the leader would really give away all the electrical appliances, and not a single one would be left.

Hearing his hesitation and distress, Li Xuewu raised his head and motioned to him: "Go ahead and make arrangements."

"yes!"

Seeing that the leader insisted on doing this, he could only do it, take the list and make arrangements.

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

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

In fact, Peng Xiaoli hesitated 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 away the washing machine, right?

However, he still said so. On the one hand, he did not dare to change Li Xuewu's opinion. On the other hand, he also wanted to see what Deputy Director Gu's reaction was.

"Thank you, team leader, for me."

Gu Weijie gave him a funny look, then nodded and said, "I am in need of a place to do laundry. I almost have no clean clothes to wear."

"Hey, boss, you are joking"

Peng Xiaoli also heard Deputy Director Gu's ridicule and jokes, 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.

"This is the coldest winter in the world. Can you give me a refrigerator?"

Jing Yunong was still reviewing the documents in his hand, but his words seemed to be really dissatisfied.

"Is there anything that can't be made when the weather outside is minus ten or twenty degrees?"

"……this"

Peng Xiaoli almost made her sweat as she asked why this gift would cause trouble.

You don’t even want a refrigerator, but what do you want, a stove?

"Haha~"

Just when he was laughing stiffly, not knowing how to reply to the leader, he saw Deputy Director Jing laughing out loud again.

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

"Leader, we..."

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

He had no choice but to leave the office and wait to go back to ask the leader how to deal with it.

If the gift was not sent out, then there was something wrong with his work.

When he came to Director Li again, it was finally normal. The leader didn't tease him anymore, let alone make trouble.

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

However, when he came out, he clearly saw Li Haiyang's meaningful eyes.

They all got together with the factory office, how could he not understand what the other party meant.

It seems that this batch of electrical gifts has not yet reached Deputy Director Li's hands, but it has already been known to everyone.

At least he didn't see excitement or other expressions in Li Haiyang's eyes, which can only mean that this kid knew it a long time ago.

Director Li performed very well, and he was just a little short of the fire. (End of this chapter)
