Men and women eating in the courtyard

The yacht was drifting on the sea, and everyone gathered on the stern platform to watch the sunset and take photos.

Zhou Xiaobai is the most active with the camera in hand. She got this last time and gained a lot of experience.

This time I acted as a photographer, taking individual photos and group photos for everyone.

Not to mention, reading photography reference books is not free. Luo Yun didn’t even know when she learned this.

"Show me! Oh, let's take a look."

The two girls were trotting, chasing and fighting on the boat, like puppies going to the countryside in later generations.

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk."

Gao Yaqin looked at them with a smile, as if recalling her youth.

Once she was also a girl, running and laughing under the sunset.

"The most beautiful thing is the red sunset, you have to look forward"

Li Xuewu heard her emotion, raised his hand to gesture to the sunset in front of him, and said, "I have a great time to enjoy."

"You are really good at talking, Director Li."

Gao Yaqin shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "I wonder when you started practicing your eloquence?"

"You're not in the army, are you?"

She smiled and joked: "I don't think so, because your military exploits are outstanding enough."

“That’s just a little bit of the past.”

Li Xuewu held the side of the ship and looked into the distance, breathing freely, and said confidently: "I will not live in the past, my goal is the stars and the sea."

“Looks like he was born with it”

Gao Yaqin straightened the hair scattered around her ears, stood next to Li Xuewu, and looked into the distance together.

"When I read about the Three Kingdoms before, I talked about Zhuge Liang's eloquent tongue, his rhetorical battle with the Confucian scholars, and his strength in all directions. I still couldn't understand the meaning of it."

"now I know"

She turned her head to look at Li Xuewu, and looked across to Pike and others not far away on the other side.

Li Xuewu felt the penetrating nature of her gaze and understood the meaning of her words.

"You are so complimentary, it really makes me ashamed."

He patted the railing and said with a smile: "Who in the world dares to compare with Zhuge? I just had a few opportunities and encountered too much luck."

"Well, I don't believe this, and you won't believe it even after you say it, right?"

Gao Yaqin turned back and looked into the distance and said: "If opportunities are equal, then it is too partial to you. If luck is fair, then it is really unfair."

"You praised me again and again. I'm really embarrassed. Please tell me."

Li Xuewu turned around and leaned on the railing, folded his arms and asked: "Everyone must ask for something when they are polite. What can I do for you?"

“A lot, but I ask for very little”

Gao Yaqin turned around and faced Li Xuewu and said seriously: "The foreign trade work of the steel rolling mill is very active and the results are outstanding. There is no doubt about this. I have seen it with my own eyes."

"We must affirm your proactive attitude in foreign trade, and we must carefully summarize and learn your methods with an open mind."

"But have you ever thought that as the person in charge of foreign trade of a steel rolling mill, when you formulate trade terms and set trade forms, you are actually anchoring history."

She held her hand on the railing, looked at Li Xuewu, nodded and said: "What you do and think today will definitely be what you will do as a teacher tomorrow."

"Your factory is ahead of the curve, but it is only your factory. Individual advancement will never be achieved, let alone an absolute advantage."

"Such as the negotiations with Parker."

Gao Yaqin raised her eyebrows and said: "If the steel rolling mill can cooperate with other companies to form an industrial cluster like the British automobile industry, I believe you won't have to waste a lot of words to convince him to agree with your point of view."

"Well, what you said is true."

Li Xuewu crossed his arms and thought carefully, nodded and said: "In fact, we have thought about this and are putting it into practice and working hard."

"You should have heard me introduce the auto parts procurement supply chain system. This is our attempt to form a cooperation-operation-development-integration system."

"Actually, what you want to say is the present, right?"

Li Xuewu smiled, nodded and said: "I fully recognize your efforts and enthusiasm in foreign trade work, but you must be realistic."

"I can tell you frankly that the multi-power combination you envision will not work because people are the most critical issue."

He raised his hand and knocked on the railing, and when Gao Yaqin frowned, he reminded: "I can integrate resources, but you can't integrate people."

“How will you know if it doesn’t work if you don’t give it a try?”

Gao Yaqin is still trying to persuade Li Xuewu: "I can seek support from the leaders above and seek cooperation based on relevant policies, which can ensure mutual fairness to a certain extent."

"No, policy is the biggest injustice. As for cooperation, it is also true for enterprises."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "As you can see, there is no unit of equal size in the steel rolling mill joint enterprise, but there is one in the joint trading enterprise."

"Why?"

He nodded slightly and said: "Because resources are limited, they all know how much they can get and how much they need to contribute when the steel rolling mill redistributes resources."

"Instead of multi-end enterprises cooperating, holding meetings and research, etc., there are personnel issues and efficiency issues, which are very complicated."

Li Xuewu lowered his head and stamped his feet, saying: "If you intend to form a trust consortium in the field of foreign trade, or an upstream and downstream joint enterprise in the industry, I can give you some suggestions."

"What I want is for the steel rolling mill to be involved, not a suggestion, Director Li"

Gao Yaqin became serious and said sincerely: "Advanced enterprises must drive backward enterprises. They are all sons and daughters of the organization, big or small, in no particular order."

"Well, about that, Director Gao"

He raised his hand to interrupt her and reminded her: "Frankly speaking, my position is not high enough to coordinate the overall situation."

"As you said, looking at the overall situation and looking at the problem from the perspective of the industry, we haven't reached that level yet."

"Let's turn our attention back to the rolling mill. What do you need us to do?"

"I want more Red Star steel rolling mills to appear in the field of foreign trade and have more annual trade shares."

Gao Yaqin said straightforwardly: "One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together fills the garden with spring. You should understand what I mean."

"I understand, I understand. From your perspective, I fully agree with this."

Li Xuewu raised his hand to signal the other party, then turned back to himself and said: "But what I can tell you is that the steel rolling mill does not have this qualification yet. You are too impatient."

“Leading the industry forward must master core technologies and occupy the position of a leading enterprise.”

"But the steel rolling mill has changed its development goals and re-planned its future industrial development. You know this."

"We will no longer blindly invest in the steel rolling industry without restrictions, but will coordinate development in multiple directions and fields."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said seriously: "This means that our business is too big and we can no longer take into account the core scientific and technological content. We must carry out rapid changes and a rapid iteration process."

"So your factory has started personnel changes, technological changes and industrial changes?"

Gao Yaqin seemed to understand, seeing Liu Shaozong standing over, lowering his head and leaning on the railing.

"I have carefully thought about the production and operation model of the steel rolling mill, including the three-year plan and five-year plan goals you have formulated."

"In fact, you should be able to see that even the management system of our factory is changing, and all the rules are changing with the changes in the overall plan."

Li Xuewu glanced at Liu Shaozong and continued to say to Gao Yaqin: "There are two clear goals for the time being, one is to be promoted, and the other is to become a group, and the level is progressive, step by step."

"It's a very solid idea. There's nothing wrong with it. I've read your report."

Liu Shaozong crossed his arms and said, "Director Gao has seen your advantages in industry work and trade work, and wants to summarize and explore them. This is understandable."

"Of course, I don't mean to deny Director Gao. I hope you can understand."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "What I mean is that the steel rolling mill cannot carry out the policy of internal and external improvement at the same time. What Director Li means is to do your own business and take care of your own people."

He motioned to Liu Shaozong and said: "The recruitment quota for this year's steel rolling mill has been announced. It is conservatively estimated that there will be 36,000 people in the factory by the end of the year."

"Indeed, the development speed is very fast, and the difficulty of business management has increased."

Liu Shaozong nodded to express his understanding, then looked at Gao Yaqin and asked with a smile: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell Director Li directly. If it works, we can do it. If it doesn't work, we can study it again."

"Is that so, Director Li?"

"Haha, it depends on the situation. My abilities are really limited, as you know."

Li Xuewu signaled to everyone who was returning to the cabin and asked them to go together.

As he walked, he said: "I am currently mainly responsible for security supervision and coordination of the management committee office in the steel rolling mill. Specifically, I communicate with Director Li."

He smiled sheepishly and said: "All actions follow the command, and the work I can do is within the rules."

"I can understand it. It's about organizing work."

Liu Shaozong nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, it's amazing. I couldn't do what you did when I was young."

"Haha, you think too highly of me"

Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they should go first and enter the cabin.

When they returned to the living room, took off their coats and coats, and everyone found their seats to chat and have fun, the two of them sat with him again.

"First Ng Fung Hong cooperated with the steel rolling mill in the food industry, then Japanese companies cooperated with the steel rolling mill in the electronics industry, and then they were interested in cooperating with the steel rolling mill in the shipbuilding industry."

"Now, we have negotiated with Ying for further cooperation in the automobile industry, Director Li."

Gao Yaqin nodded slowly and said sincerely: "I have no intention of interfering with your decision-making arrangements, nor do I mean to deprive you of the fruits of your labor."

"To put it bluntly, do you want your foreign trade to continue like this?"

She pointed at Liu Shaozong and asked Li Xuewu: "The Ministry of Industry should come forward to solve policy issues and continue the shipyard's foreign trade model?"

"Of course not, this is only temporary."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "I have never said that the foreign trade of the steel rolling mill is not within the overall trade framework, and Director Li did not mean this either."

“Then why can’t the rolling mills work as formal foreign trade?”

Gao Yaqin knocked on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "If there are any difficulties, I believe they can be solved."

"Your factory's independent development of foreign trade will affect the trade work that the company will carry out after the foreign trade and economic processing."

"Understood! I understand what you mean."

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at her and said: "Either, form a consortium with other companies in the industry, and trade will be classified as foreign trade."

"Either change the current trade form and attribute foreign trade to the Import and Export Corporation, right?"

"I didn't say that, you can think so, but that's not what I meant."

Gao Yaqin looked at him and said: "You can continue to implement the current policy. We won't say anything. I only represent myself."

"Well, let me ask, is that okay?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, raised his hand to indicate the direction of Parker, and said: "Take the automobile industry as an example. The annual transaction volume is 20,000 units, and the total trade volume is 70 million."

"If we apply to the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission to review the steel rolling mill's qualifications for exporting automobile projects, what will we have to pay?"

"first!"

Without waiting for Gao Yaqin to answer, he first said: "To complete this transaction through the Import and Export Corporation, we have no pricing power, no signing power, or even quality assessment power. This is unacceptable to us."

"Secondly"

Li Xuewu continued: "In the process of foreign trade, we cannot monitor the flow of funds, cannot use the funds to purchase technology and equipment, and cannot guarantee safety. This is also unacceptable to us."

"Last point, from the perspective of foreign businessmen, their consideration of the import and export company is secondary to direct connection with the steel rolling mill."

Li Xuewu looked at Gao Yaqin and said: "We also mentioned in the negotiations that investment is not only projects and companies, but also people."

“There is only one solution to this contradiction, and that is to approve enterprises’ independent foreign trade authority through foreign trade and economic cooperation.”

He looked at Gao Yaqin and said bluntly: "Can you coordinate the foreign trade and economic cooperation to issue import and export registration certificates to the steel rolling mills?"

"Are you embarrassing me or testing me?"

Gao Yaqin smiled bitterly and shook her head, looked at Li Xuewu spreading his hands and said, "I can't answer your question now, at least not now."

"So I said you are impatient."

Li Xuewu also smiled and said: "When companies are allowed to have import and export rights and have transparent control of funds, it will be time for foreign economic and trade to flourish."

"This is a bit extreme, but it's worth thinking about. History will prove it."

Gao Yaqin smiled, looked at Liu Shaozong and asked, "What do you think? Director Liu?"

"I say this is also the case. Now when talking about foreign trade, it is better to proceed under the premise of overall planning of the general environment."

Liu Shaozong nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I am not favoring Director Gao. You should understand what I mean."

After seeing Li Xuewu nod, he continued: "I also told Parker that the Red Star Rolling Mill is special. It is taking an experimental path of combining trade and production in the cracks."

"The reason why it is special is that it cannot be copied and spread over a large area. Do you understand?"

He gestured to Gao Yaqin, and then continued: "I have mentioned the changes and transformation of the Red Star Rolling Mill many times when communicating with leaders in the same department."

"You must not know what the leaders above think about this change."

Liu Shaozong pursed his lips and said: "As far as I know, many leaders have made criticisms, but there are more people who support the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to carry out market operations and independent production."

"Especially comrades in charge of people's livelihood and economic fields are particularly concerned about the Red Star Rolling Mill. Director Li didn't tell you that, right?"

"Haha, no, but I can already feel it."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "There are no clues from the newspapers. There are many taboos in the documents issued to the steel rolling mill. I think the higher-ups also want to see if the steel rolling mill can go out."

"I just told you that you are a smart person, and you can tell at once!"

Liu Shaozong pointed at Gao Yaqin in Li Xuewu's direction, raised his eyebrows and said, "You think so too, right?"

"Of course, the memory is still fresh and I feel the same."

Gao Yaqin smiled, and the three of them all laughed.

"What the Ministry of Industry has given to the steel rolling mills is not an inclusive policy, but an experimental policy. They are reaping dividends, and it may also be their last supper."

Liu Shaozong regained his serious expression and introduced: "How long the steel rolling mills can enjoy this policy depends on how far they explore the market economy and unplanned production work."

"I admire the leadership team of the steel rolling mill very much. They are both competitive and effective, right? Hahaha."

"Are you kidding? Our factory has always been a united collective and a fighting collective."

Li Xuewu smiled and replied to him, then looked at Gao Yaqin and said, "I have a suggestion for you to listen to. If it works, forget it."

"Okay, I want to listen"

Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said, "Director Liu has great respect for you and told me to study with you seriously."

"I'm going to break it! Hahaha!"

Li Xuewu laughed and waved his hands, but he didn't dare to listen to their deception. What these people said may not be accurate.

"You look at the expansion and disruption of foreign trade, but I suggest you look back."

He made a waving gesture and said: "The export of raw materials, agricultural and sideline products, as well as ore and coal can quickly exchange for the required foreign exchange reserve resources."

"But foreign economic and trade situations are of low-end export type and are the targets of economic plunder."

Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "Does Foreign Economic and Trade have any improvement measures in this area?"

"Why are you suddenly asked about this? Is there any decision you need to refer to?"

Gao Yaqin glanced at him with a smile, then thought for a moment and said: "In fact, foreign trade and economic cooperation clearly realizes that the current import and export is still in a passive situation."

"We are also working to improve and optimize trade types, and even adjust the refinement and division of labor of import and export companies."

"Tinmen Fisheries Corporation is actually the result of this change. It used to be managed by one company."

"You might say that policies are coming out very slowly, far slower than market development, which is holding back economic development."

“But what I want to say is that policy guarantee attributes should take precedence over leading attributes.”

Gao Yaqin explained seriously: "Only when the competitiveness and viability of mainland enterprises are fully guaranteed in the trade process can we carry out trade cooperation with foreign countries."

"Regarding this, many problems left over from history need to be solved urgently, and there are more policy changes that need to be experimented and summarized."

"Of course, I am not comparing steel rolling mills to similar companies or companies in the industry. I am talking about the majority."

She nodded to Li Xuewu and said: "Many domestic enterprises have just started, and their development levels vary. Some need support, some need care, and some even need mergers."

"Your factory should have also participated in this process. It should be clear that your factory did not have the ability to trade with foreign countries before."

"The Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant was originally called the Third Steel Rolling Plant of Beijing. Because of its good development and good foundation, it merged with several other factories."

Liu Shaozong briefly recounted it, then nodded to Li Xuewu and said: "The question you asked Director Gao is actually our own question."

"The basis of foreign trade is actually the performance of productivity. When productivity is raised to a certain level, such as a steel rolling mill, it will naturally have the capability of foreign trade."

"The opposite is not true. You dare to use canned food as a key product for foreign trade, but Jingcheng Food Factory has never thought so."

"Thinking limits them"

Liu Shaozong ordered Li Xuewu and Gao Yaqin, indicating: "Director Li means to ask you to look back and look down."

"Refining the import and export categories again?"

Gao Yaqin frowned and thought, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "It is better to relax the import qualification policy for some enterprises as you said."

"Two directions, you can refer to"

Li Xuewu gestured with two fingers and said: "I want to talk about the steel rolling mill. If you think my wife is selling melons, then I want to talk about the Jinmen Fisheries Company."

"Think about their strength, development, and influence."

"Let me spread your thinking. If you give them import and export trade procedures, how will they develop?"

"I said that if I were the person in charge, I would first complete the transformation and reform of the corporate structure, be business-oriented, and directly operate on the personnel structure."

"The second step is to break down trade barriers. As long as there are trade needs and markets in Tianjin, Beijing, Northeast China, and North China, we will produce targeted products and fight there."

"The last step is market management. The main focus and strength will be transferred to the production and operation links, focusing on supply and marketing. Put aside the baggage and let go of your arms to get more."

Li Xuewu clicked on the armrest of the sofa and said to the two of them: "Now the annual output value is 10 million, I can make it 100 million."

“I believe that, especially in the current market environment, the combined trade of the rolling mills has proven this”

Liu Shaozong nodded and affirmed: "At least I can eat oranges from Sichuan Province now, right? Haha~"

"Since you mentioned oranges, let me use them as an example for my second point."

Li Xuewu picked up the oranges on the table and gestured, and said: "On the premise of changing the attributes of collective production and management of the commune, it only takes two steps to deliver the oranges from the tree to the dining table."

"It's very simple. It's not my responsibility to pick it off, but I am responsible for the transportation and management. As long as the market price remains unchanged, if I sell more, will the collective make more?"

"The formulation of planned production targets must be scientifically based, but the yield of fruit trees is not under individual control."

Li Xuewu threw away the oranges in his hand and said with a smile: "The commune's collective fruit trees can grow in the fields, and the fruits I sell can grow in the farmers' yards."

“It’s still a market economy, how dare you say that?”

Liu Shaozong smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not realistic yet, your road is temporarily blocked."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Gao Yaqin frowned slightly and waved her hand to deny Liu Shaozong's words. She looked at Li Xuewu and paused, then asked: "You are talking about the third industry, right?"

"Haha, Director Gao is smarter."

Li Xuewu smiled and threw the orange to the stunned Liu Shaozong, then looked at Gao Yaqin and asked: "Large factories dare not give foreign trade qualifications, and single-attribute factories should hesitate to give foreign trade qualifications. What about the tertiary industry?"

"System and personnel management are still under the planning of the planned economy, and quality and production management are also within control. Only operations and markets have a lively atmosphere and the ability to beat."

He looked at Gao Yaqin and asked with a smile: "Has foreign trade and economics ever thought about setting up a test field?"

"The third industry of the steel rolling mill?"

Gao Yaqin smiled and asked, "Are you willing?"

“Of course I’m not willing to give it all away, but I can do some of it, such as the food industry.”

Li Xuewu smiled and spread his hands and said: "We have cooperated with Wu Feng Hong in three food factories, two are joint-stock companies and one is wholly owned but implements the compensation trade system."

"Your calculation is really clever!"

Gao Yaqin glanced at him funny and said: "By issuing independent import and export trade qualifications to food factories, you will have the advantage of cooperating with Wu Feng Hong, right?"

"I'll go into more detail"

She squinted her eyes and looked at Li Xuewu, and said, "You want to lay out the food industry and transform into an agricultural and sideline food reprocessing enterprise, with the core business objectives of exporting deeply processed products and importing raw food, right?"

"No wonder you work in foreign trade and economics. There is a certain reason."

Li Xuewu smiled and clapped. Although he did not directly affirm what she said, he already expressed his agreement.

Gao Yaqin looked at Liu Shaozong and said: "The import of basic raw materials for agricultural and sideline food is a big part, but there is a small gap in the export of deeply processed food."

"In this case, I will go back and report to the leader and study it."

After explaining to Liu Shaozong, she looked at Li Xuewu and said: "The food processing industry in China is still in its infancy. How to develop must find its own path and a path that suits you."

Liu Shaozong looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Have you ever communicated with Wufengxing about this?"

"No, no need to communicate"

Li Xuewu looked at Gao Yaqin and explained: "We are solely responsible for the operation of the food processing plant, and they have no ability to interfere."

"I want to say that your factory has the foresight to finalize foreign trade cooperation."

Gao Yaqin smiled, pointed to Parker and asked, "Are you interested in the automobile project as an experimental project and I can apply for it for you?"

"It still doesn't work, thank you, Director Gao"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "Wu Fengxing can withhold the funds we need, but the Automobile Distribution Corporation cannot."

"Chicken thief!"

Gao Yaqin laughed and scolded him, and then said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about foreign exchange management. This is the lifeblood of all industrial development."

"Of course, I support industrial development, and I also want domestic industry to make great strides and develop greatly."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "But the premise is that I have to wait until I become the head of the steel rolling mill before mentioning this, otherwise I will be powerless."

"shameless!"

Gao Yaqin once again commented on Li Xuewu clearly and concisely, and then the three of them laughed.

——

Dinner was still a seafood feast, but the pattern and dishes were changed. Everyone looked very satisfied after eating their own harvest.

After the meal, they were still chatting. It was too cold at night and no one wanted to go out.

Some people have already organized a game to play poker, and there are also people drinking and watching the sea in the living room.

It was pitch dark outside, but the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a rare beauty.

Xue Zhifu and Li Xuewu were sitting at the bar, eating dried fruits and still drinking.

"How was the chat? I see you are very engaged."

Xue Zhifu's eyes pointed in the direction of Gao Yaqin, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "It's not very ideal. She still wants to test me."

"Take your time, Rome wasn't built in a day, there has to be a process."

Xue Zhifu took a sip from his wine glass and said, "If the steel rolling mill can go abroad before I retire, you will win."

"Don't say that!"

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I wish you good health, don't suddenly get sick and tell me you have one year left."

"Hahaha! What a loss to you!"

Xue Zhifu had a drink with Li Xuewu, and then affirmed: "For you, I have to take care of myself and see the day when you achieve your goal."

"Let's work together"

Li Xuewu smiled and took a sip of wine, then lowered his glass and said softly: "I must tell Director Li immediately when I get back. I must declare my groupization goals as soon as possible."

"Is the Ministry of Industry trying to get in trouble?"

Xue Zhifu frowned and glanced at Liu Shaozong over there. There was a lot of excitement over there, and Liu Shaozong liked playing cards the most.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The will to intervene is very strong. If it drags on, it is likely to be suppressed by the higher authorities."

"I saw it, but I didn't expect it."

Xue Zhifu nodded and said, "When Gao Yaqin was talking to you just now, he took the initiative to intervene because he was afraid that you would talk about the core issue."

"Especially in foreign trade work"

He tapped Li Xuewu with the finger holding the wine glass and reminded: "The Ministry of Industry will never let go of the transformation of the steel rolling mill into an import and export production enterprise."

"Well, it can be seen that he is very nervous."

Li Xuewu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So my suggestion is to declare separately, and declare the tertiary industry and joint trade independently as corporate attributes of the trade category."

"Anyway, they are all products of the group's goal. Whether it is management or system, they are all under the same framework."

“It means differentiating categories in terms of operations, each with its own advantages and flexibility.”

"Go back and study it, this is very important."

Xue Zhifu frowned and said: "Focus on making the attitudes of both parties clear, and let Director Li fully understand the pros and cons."

"It's not difficult. What's difficult is how to do it and how to achieve it."

Li Xuewu sat up straight, rolled his eyes, and motioned to Gao Yaqin and Liu Shaozong, who had been looking over there, and said, "There are two wolves squatting in front of your house. Which one should you kill first?"

"Fuck! This metaphor is perfect!"

Xue Zhifu almost laughed out loud. He nodded to Li Xuewu in a funny way, then shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter who you hit first, you have to close the door first."

"That's what I'm saying, close the door."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "As soon as the group project is officially made public, it will not only face criticism and heated discussions, but also vultures and falcons."

"It's one thing to send it up, but it's another thing to hold it back."

"So you support continuing to recruit workers?"

Xue Zhifu raised his eyebrows and said, "The huge size will inevitably bring survival problems, which can discourage some people's ideas."

"At the same time, with more workers, we will have more voice and autonomy."

As he spoke, he thought, "The realization of the goal of groupization is not only the independence of various factory reforms, but also the change of ideological systems."

"I really can't keep up with the thinking for a while. I don't know if I'm behind in learning."

Xue Zhifu sighed, and then said, "You report the actual situation. How to discuss and decide still needs to be decided by the group after discussion."

"Also, don't pursue the import and export trade rights of the food industry too closely, be careful of the Ministry of Industry's opinions."

He reminded, "After all, we are now eating the policies given by the top."

"I understand, I understand."

Li Xuewu took a sip of wine, then smiled and said, "You have worked hard today, I toast you a glass."

"You are the hero of today's trade negotiations"

Xue Zhifu clinked glasses with Li Xuewu and emphasized: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth, especially Director Bao, who would be interested in the motorcycle field."

"As you wish, you will get what you want. There is an inevitable cause and effect relationship."

Li Xuewu nodded, took a sip of wine and said: "I am very satisfied with the results of this trip. I just need you to give me a good review."

"Hehe, of course it's a good review"

Xue Zhifu chuckled and pointed in the direction of Zhou Xiaobai and said: "Go and talk to them. You have been busy all day, and it's time to relax."

"Thank you for your understanding, you are a good leader"

Li Xuewu smiled and flattered him blatantly, which made Xue Zhifu smile and wave his hand.

He took the wine glass to find Zhang Changming. He is now in charge of logistics business management and has a lot of contact with the aquatic company. Take this opportunity to build more relationships.

Li Xuewu drank the wine in the glass, threw a peanut at Zhou Xiaobai who was whispering, and gestured to her outside the door.

"Hehe——"

Zhou Xiaobai understood, stood up and followed him out with a smile, she knew that Brother Wu was done with his work.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the stars!"

Li Xuewu smiled and put his arm around Zhou Xiaobai's shoulders, and took her to the corridor.

Luo Yun followed behind, not knowing whether to go in or out, whether these two people would take her with them to play.

She has been with Zhou Xiaobai since she got on the boat, even when she got benefits from Li Xuewu.

Now seeing that Li Xuewu only called Zhou Xiaobai, and Zhou Xiaobai just pulled her out without arranging anything, she was really confused for a while.

But since Li Xuewu dared to put his arm around Zhou Xiaobai's shoulders with a smile in front of everyone, she had to follow.

During the time she was dating Zuo Jie, she learned a lot of knowledge, including how to behave in society.

Zuo Jie also learned and applied what he learned from the club, from the members, and from Li Xuewu.

The club is a complex small society, more special, and very training.

He told Luo Yun some of his insights, and Luo Yun was also growing and learning.

This is also the reason why Li Xuewu is willing to train her and let her manage the clothing business slowly.

Her background is excellent, even without Li Xuewu's support, she can still go smoothly.

Especially they have the advantage of advanced academic qualifications, and they don't look at development in this era.

But since such a person has appeared, and Zuo Jie has chosen her, he must express something.

Anyway, she is arranged to study with Shen Guodong temporarily, and she didn't say that she will take over the business immediately. There is still time to arrange.

Zhou Xiaobai is different. Li Xuewu is testing her and her family to see how they decide on her future.

Simply put, letting her and Luo Yun come to work in the club is itself a kind of close attitude.

Since Zhou Xiaobai is willing to get close to him and is willing to develop in the direction he taught her, it proves that she has the willingness to learn and the ability to work.

Besides, her family background is what Li Xuewu needs and what he is more afraid of.

I believe her parents are also hesitating, worried, or testing in reverse.

A grown-up girl ran out with him, do you think Zhou Zhennan is blind?

No, Li Xuewu would not despise the other party so much, and the other party would not allow him to despise.

So Li Xuewu clearly expressed his relationship with Zhou Xiaobai and brought Luo Yun with him.

Now, Li Xuewu has included Zhou Xiaobai in the framework of the steel rolling mill's cooperation with Jinmen Aquatic Products, which means that he has half a foot in his core circle.

If the Zhou family does not make further statements, or their attitude is indifferent, it means that they have no definite direction for Zhou Xiaobai's future and development.

Perhaps it can be said that they are willing to give their daughter the opportunity to try and fail, to learn, after all, Zhou Xiaobai is still young.

The innocence that the world pays attention to and recognizes is actually worthless in the face of absolute strength.

On the one hand, does Li Xuewu dare to touch Zhou Xiaobai?

Even if they hug each other to sleep, they will not cross the line. You don't need to see it at the head of the bed to know this.

On the other hand, even if Zhou Xiaobai and Li Xuewu broke the bottom line, would it affect her future personal life?

If she found an ordinary man, or a conservative man limited by secular ethics, there might be a quarrel.

But based on Zhou Xiaobai's current situation and her attitude towards new things, it can be seen what she wants.

But all the questions are just guesses. Li Xuewu will not do stupid things, nor will he allow Zhou Xiaobai to do stupid things.

The skylight of the master bedroom was pushed open, and the starry sky could be seen at a glance while lying on the big bed.

Zhou Xiaobai lay in Li Xuewu's arms, stretched out his hand blankly, and murmured: "It seems to be right in front of me."

"The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked with your hands"

Li Xuewu also looked at the starry sky in front of him and said with a smile: "I don't know what the principle is, I am just a poor student."

"Hehe - this word is really wonderful!"

Zhou Xiaobai laughed, turned his head to look at Luo Yun on the other side and asked: "Do you know what the reason is?"

"Don't ask me, I'm just a light bulb"
