Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Here it comes, here it comes, the car is coming!"

"That, should it be?"

"What are you waiting for!"

Li Huaide's ambitions were only half revealed when he was interrupted by the messenger.

He didn't have time to get angry, and followed the gazes of others to look at the street.

"Director Li, you should go down!"

Seeing that he was still standing there watching, Li Xuewu came over and grabbed his arm and pulled him down like a donkey.

"Oh, okay--"

Old Li was obviously a little panicked. He might have said in his heart that he was not nervous many times because he was calm just now.

But when the time came, he still couldn't help shaking his legs. After all, the person he was going to meet was not someone he could meet casually.

After being greeted by Li Xuewu, he had come to his senses and walked a while in a panic. Li Xuewu pinched his arm again, and he sorted out his mood clearly, and then walked steadily.

The signal light command car was parked not far away, and the radio intercom contacted the security guard on duty. This section had been isolated.

When the motorcade slowly stopped at the side of the road, Li Xuewu spotted Mr. Z's car and gave Li Huaide a push.

Li Huaide felt his gesture and trotted forward without looking back, while the others deliberately slowed down.

The door was opened by the secretary. Li Huaide stood two steps away from the door, waiting with enthusiasm until Mr. Z got out of the car.

"It's the director of the management committee of Red Star Factory, Li Huaide"

Lu Yun, who came from the car behind, introduced Mr. Z softly.

"Mr. Z, welcome to Red Star Factory! Welcome--!"

After hearing Lu Yun's introduction, Li Huaide dared to take Mr. Z's hand. He was so excited that he trembled when he spoke, not inferior to Dehua's.

Mr. Z shook his hand warmly, and then looked behind him.

"Mr. Z, welcome--!"

There were no welcome banners, no banners, and no colorful flags and gongs and drums in a line. There were only worker representatives, female worker representatives, and student representatives presenting bouquets to Mr. Z who came to visit and inspect.

The welcome scene was warm but not warm, respectful but not grand, pragmatic, truth-seeking, down-to-earth, and all sincere.

The slightly ordinary welcome ceremony here was in sharp contrast to the loud gongs and drums and flying colorful flags at the trade fair.

Mr. Z took the bouquets from the three representatives with a smile and thanked them.

There are no elementary school students smearing red cheeks here. The flowers are just the flowers blooming in spring picked along the Liangma River, so simple and natural.

Looking at the small but energetic welcoming team, Mr. Z nodded slightly.

When shaking hands with the members of the Red Star Factory team standing in line, it was like a spring breeze. Mr. Z's demeanor made all the factory leaders who usually don't pretend admire him.

Li Xuewu was standing behind the crowd, but he could still feel the greatness of Mr. Z.

Compared with the last time we met, in just one year, he could clearly feel Mr. Z's haggardness and fatigue.

He turned the tide and saved the collapsing building, and remained true to his original intention, studying for the rise of the nation.

Although Mr. Z was carrying a heavy burden, he still walked firmly and steadily, and walked onto the temporary hardened platform under the guidance of Li Huaide.

For such a short distance, Li Huaide tried to suppress his excitement and nervousness, and reported to Mr. Z the significance of choosing this land to welcome Mr. Z.

It was spring and bright, and looking far away from a high place, there was a wide Liangma River on the left and behind, and a lively trade fair on the right, like a market.

Looking ahead, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill with buildings stacked up in front of the right was in front, and a large construction site was under construction.

The Liangma River, which went straight from the left, split this prosperous scene into two parts. It was not blocked, but full of vitality and spring.

"Is that the trade fair you mentioned?"

Walking up the platform, the gentleman raised his eyes slightly and looked over. The trade fair was not very big, but it was more lively and prosperous than the market.

Although he knew that this was only a small part of the prosperity under the planned economy, he still saw the hope of the country's prosperity in the future.

I came here today just to see what the future of the career they sacrificed for, were willing to dedicate, and worked hard for their whole lives would be like.

The development of the Red Star Factory has stood out since the big learning activity last year.

Far beyond the factories and units of the same level, it quickly completed the unity of thought, condensed the core driving force of development, dared to fight, dared to take detours, and tried and failed, and finally found a bright way out.

There is a list on his desk, which is the enterprise he cares about the most and misses the most. This list is the foundation of the country's prosperity and the hope of the national industry.

In the list, the newly entered Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has emerged as a dark horse, like bamboo shoots after rain, and its development momentum is rising steadily.

In the national economic summary work at the end of 1966, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill performed very well among heavy industrial enterprises.

Not only did industrial production exceed the planned target, but it also completed the transformation of mixed development of light and heavy industries.

What is important is that under the changing situation last year, Hongxing Factory quickly adjusted its development ideas to meet the development requirements of the new era and the new period, and took a distinctive path.

Last year, there were frequent good news, and this year is even more victorious. While other factories are still trapped in the circle of ideological rectification and team rectification, Hongxing Factory's products have gone abroad and invited foreign trade customers into its home, achieving a new breakthrough in efficient production capacity transformation.

Based on the production capacity of heavy industry, we break through the upstream and downstream barriers of the industry, get rid of the obstacles to industry cooperation, and achieve the innovation and goals of joint industry and joint tertiary industries.

In implementing the industrial, construction, cultural and educational instructions issued on May 7 last year, the steel rolling mill has achieved innovations and achievements that other mills have not achieved.

In Mr.'s list, every time he fills in the results of the steel rolling mill, there are a few more lines of records on the list, and the fresh handwriting reveals that it is always new.

"The exhibition is just a way for Hongxing Factory, United Enterprises and United Industries to practice and verify the service concept of industrial products for the people."

Li Huaide stood in front of a display board and introduced today's reception at Red Star Factory to his husband and the entourage behind him.

The display board is not a traditional wooden blackboard, but a display stand made of rolled steel plates welded together.

The platform is tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, so you can see the design drawings on the platform without having to bend down.

This is the construction rendering of the steel rolling mill ecological industrial zone. It is like a picture scroll displayed in front of everyone, making it easier to look up at any time and mark the location of the land on the map.

On the renderings, buildings such as factories, R\u0026D institutions, schools, shopping malls, residential areas, service areas, and gymnasiums are reasonably distributed on both sides of the Liangma River, forming an ideal picture of harmonious coexistence between man, nature, and industry.

"Take the location where we are standing as the core, which is the location of the future group office building."

Li Huaide stood in front of the platform, pointing at the planning diagram and giving a concise and efficient introduction.

Every sentence, every word, every word was carefully discussed and finalized by Li Xuewu and him. It was absolutely concise and concise, and the words conveyed the meaning clearly.

"Expand the living space forward, face each other across the road, and be with the Liangma River"

He raised his hand to indicate the construction sites on both sides of the Liangma River and introduced: "Based on the park landscape built on both sides of the river, we will expand humanities, education, living and medical spaces to both sides."

"Your factory is going to be grouped into a group, right?"

Mr. Z asked him, then pointed to the location of the steel rolling mill on the drawing and the location of the tertiary industry and joint factory adjacent to another branch of Liangma River and asked: "How is it handled here?"

This branch line is not blocked, but directly connected to the moat.

"This is the second section of our factory's ecological industrial zone planning, which is the industry and scientific research section."

Li Huaide had adapted to the rhythm of the introduction and said very naturally: "The Red Star Factory has invested in building a new steel rolling mill project in Steel City, where the existing steel rolling production equipment and supporting production equipment will be dismantled in the future."

"Our scheduled time is to complete this largest investment and construction goal within three years."

"It is a very decisive choice. It is no less than tearing down and rebuilding. It also makes the comrades of the Ministry of Industry sweat, right? Huh?" Mr. Z turned to look at Du Xian of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce who was accompanying him and asked.

"I support enterprises to be self-reliant, self-reliant and self-reliant, and to bravely move forward to create a new world."

Du Xian smiled and looked at Li Huaide and nodded: "Since the Red Star Factory dares to move the steel rolling industry to Steel City, it shows that they have the need and are more prepared to bear the pressure of investment and construction."

"We will definitely be able to complete this goal of transformation and relocation of heavy industry. Please believe in our determination, sir."

After Li Huaide made his statement, he pointed his finger in the direction of the steel rolling mill and explained: "The steel rolling industry relies heavily on energy resources and transportation resources."

"We have studied and judged the future development pattern and needs of Beijing's industry in corporate strategic planning. Heavy industry is no longer suitable for unlimited development in the city."

"Moreover, the current equipment, technology, production capacity and products of the steel rolling mill remain at the leading level in the country."

"However, we can clearly feel that the gap between this level and the world-class level is huge, and it is still too late to catch up now."

Li Huaide said very seriously: "If you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf. We are not losing the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds, let alone giving up heavy industry."

He pointed to the location of the factory's workshops and explained: "In the future, these production areas will serve scientific research and light industrial manufacturing."

"The leading edge of science and technology will shape the trend of industrial development. We must not only produce heavy industrial products, but also make them well, quickly and advanced!"

"Is it complementary advantages? Hmm——"

Mr. Z listened very carefully, nodded to Du Xian and said: "Use the current advantages of heavy industry to develop light industry, supplement it with the establishment of trade channels, and at the same time accumulate strength, and then go back to support heavy industry, and the cycle continues, endlessly."

The gentleman was thinking as he spoke, looking keenly at the planning map and the steel rolling mill in the distance.

"Sir, I can't say whether this is the right path to take, but in terms of practicing the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, Red Star Factory is correct."

Du Xian admired Li Huaide's work at the Red Star Factory, otherwise he wouldn't have helped pull the strings here last time.

Mr. Z nodded and said: "In industrial development, we are still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. What is right and what is wrong."

He clicked on the scientific research location marked on the planning map and asked, "How is the foundation?"

"At present, three universities have completed school-enterprise cooperation agreements with Red Star Factory, and there are 12 laboratories and R\u0026D centers in operation."

Li Huaidehui reported: "Including engine R\u0026D center, transmission R\u0026D center, physics and chemistry research institute, etc."

He confidently demonstrated the scientific research reserve strength of the steel rolling mill, pointing to the divided areas on the drawing to introduce the future scientific research strength.

After hearing that the steel rolling mill was created through the accumulation of science and technology completed by Huaqing University and the Iron and Steel Institute in Beijing, Mr. Xiang was silent.

This is the most important news he has heard since 1965 that attaches great importance to scientific and technological development and academic development. Before that, it had always been bad news.

The future investment of 20 million in scientific development mentioned in Li Huaide's report really made him feel the importance that the steel rolling mill places on scientific research.

Especially when he heard that Li Huaide mentioned that the steel rolling mill was cooperating with many universities to establish its own educational institution and ensure the teaching and practical needs, he clenched his skinny hands, as if he was helpless.

The steel rolling mill is at the forefront of the times, its development has exceeded conventional limitations, and it has occupied the commanding heights ideologically.

Therefore, the development model here is becoming more and more rapid and excellent, and it cannot be easily copied or learned.

If we want to promote and implement it nationwide, even such development opportunities cannot be created, regardless of the ideological understanding of cadres.

Some people say that the steel rolling mill developed by borrowing the inspiration from the Yangcheng Foreign Commodity Fair.

Whether others say something mean or biased, Mr. Z knows very well that this is the inevitable result of accumulated experience and correct thinking.

The Yangcheng Foreign Commodity Fair has been held for dozens of times. How many Red Star factories have been established?

Not many, he would be satisfied with one in a year, but is it possible?

"No wonder you want to hold your own industrial exhibition. This is confidence in technology and production."

Mr. Z did not comment on the education at the rolling mill, nor did he ask more.

It's not that he doesn't care about education, nor does he have any opinions on the education model of the steel rolling mill, but he really hopes that the education of the steel rolling mill can be implemented.

But he also knew that if he cared too much, the seedlings that had just developed here would be damaged by wind, frost, rain and snow.

For the purpose of protection, he turned the topic to the direction of transforming technology into production.

This also explains and defines the development of technology and education in steel rolling mills.

Everything is for production, everything is for the economy, everything is for the people.

"I can see that your factory is developing well and your trade fairs are going well."

He looked at the construction site not far away, the steel rolling mill in production and the exhibition, which really reflected the contradictory relationship between the future, the present and reality.

"Comrade Zhinan, when will our other industrial enterprises be as confident as the steel rolling mill and let the citizens try their products, take a look and choose one?"

Zhao Zhinan, deputy director of foreign trade and economic cooperation, smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I want to have ten capable teams like Red Star Factory. You don't need to tell me, I also want to show off my muscles in battle."

"Hahaha--!"

The accompanying cadres and the cadres of the steel rolling mill all laughed softly.

Du Xian, director of the First Machinery Department, smiled and answered: "Not to mention you, Deputy Director Zhao, I only have this precious lump in my hand!"

"Hahaha--!"

From the moment he got off the bus, his impression on Li Xuewu was that he was unsmiling, wise, friendly, serious and very charming.

But after close contact, you can clearly feel his humor and fun in his work and conversations.

"How is the construction situation in the industrial zone? Are there any difficulties?"

"Mr. Z, I am Liu Wentao, deputy commander-in-chief of the ecological industrial zone construction project headquarters of Hongxing Factory."

At Li Huaide's signal, a cadre wearing work clothes and a safety helmet stepped forward to report: "The construction of the project is stable and orderly. We will adhere to safety, technology and quality standards and resolutely complete the project within the construction period." Building goals!”

Mr. Z is satisfied with the report of the steel rolling mill, especially standing here, looking at the planning drawings, looking at the construction site, and listening to the personal reports of the construction workers.

He nodded to the deputy commander who saluted him, looked at Li Huaide and asked, "How much is the investment in the Red Star Factory?"

Li Huaide replied seriously: "Sir, at least 20 million."

"Oh? Didn't they say that your factory will spend 80 million to build it?"

At Li Huaide's signal, Mr. Z led the team down and asked about the rumor.

Li Huaide became a little nervous and replied: "Eighty million is the total investment, 20 million is the capital project investment, and the new factory and workers' village in the steel city will require at least 40 million."

"There are also trade and scientific research construction, which require at least 20 million investment, with a total investment budget of 80 million."

"Moreover, we didn't use the 80 million yuan for investment and construction in one go." He wiped the sweat on his head and explained: "We set an investment and construction target of 80 million yuan in the five-year plan. The rumors are wrong. ".

"Haha - I was even fooled!"

Mr. Z nodded to him humorously and said: "This proves that your factory's publicity work is well done. What is true is true, and what is true is false."

Li Huaide didn't dare to accept this. How could he have the guts to lie to the leader? It was all a mistake. Publicity work had never been his focus, because Gu Weijie managed it very well.

"Tell me, where are these 80 million spent and when are you planning to spend them?"

On the way to the industrial exhibition, Mr. Z listened to reports from several other leaders of the steel rolling mill.

Including the design and significance of ecological zone construction introduced by Cheng Kaiyuan, including ecology, education, medical care, residence, industry, and technology.

Jing Yunong introduced the goal of building a steel rolling mill group, coordinated development of light and heavy industries, diversifying brands, opening up upstream and downstream channels, etc.

In addition, he made a detailed introduction to the creation of trade unions, financial and economic unions, financial settlement and corporate credit guarantee systems, as well as the establishment of import and export trade channels, the creation of trade platforms and port economy according to Mr.'s requirements.

Gu Weijie introduced the problems that Red Star Factory is facing, including land, resources, technology, equipment, channels, talent training, etc.

He also reported to Mr. Xue Zhifu on the solutions and ideas for these problems.

Mr. listened carefully to the systematic report of the steel rolling mill. Compared with the notes on his list notebook, this time it was more detailed and more real.

Especially about the development concept of the ecological industrial zone, he had already remembered it in his mind when Li Huaide introduced it just now.

Now listening to the detailed introduction of the factory team members, he understood the purpose and goal of Red Star Factory.

It is not just to build a factory or a group, but to respond to the development of the times and the development of the city, and to make a layout for the development of enterprises in the next few decades.

The pressure they bear today is to lay the foundation and build in the future.

Standing at the entrance of the trade fair, looking at the people being isolated by security guards, Mr. felt the excitement here very personally.

"This road is not easy to walk, you have to walk steadily"

He said this to Li Huaide and others, and also to the accompanying cadres. It seems that he is talking about the road of the trade fair, but it is actually the road of market-oriented development.

Hearing the cheers and greetings of the people, Mr. waved his hands in response eagerly, and when visiting the industrial booths, he looked at the products of the rolling mill and the joint plant carefully.

He also took the initiative to ask the nearby people about some fresh products, tools, and food.

When he heard the unanimous praise, he finally had a more gratified smile on his face.

In the automobile industry exhibition area, he was very interested in looking at a whole row of various vehicles, including real models standing on and beside the vehicles.

Even though the time had exceeded the scheduled time limit when he came, he still walked up to the booth, looked at it in person, and tried it.

The model was not the kind of girl who was dressed very simply in later generations, but the application of the corresponding exhibition car, with workers in professional uniforms standing there to simulate the operation.

For example, in the security patrol car, the guards on the car were communicating with walkie-talkies, and there were fully armed guards standing with guns to show their weapons and equipment.

There were also drivers who repaired and maintained the car to check the condition of the vehicle.

Looking at the fire tool car, the operator and the firefighters cooperated in work and demonstration, showing the purpose of the vehicle to the fullest.

Mr. was very interested in the beautifully designed and stylish Antelope car. At the invitation of Li Huaide, he got on the car and tried it himself.

Some factory reporters squeezed in the crowd of accompanying reporters and took pictures. This was a task specially requested by Deputy Director Li.

"Well, the functions are very complete, very advanced, and the seats are also very comfortable."

Mr. took a closer look in the car, nodded to the people standing at the door of the car and said: "I see that a lot of new materials are used?"

"That's right, the new alloy and fiberglass replaced the original heavy non-load-bearing parts, reduced the weight of the car, and increased the load."

The introducer standing by the car enthusiastically explained the functions and design ideas of the car to Mr.

Mr. Li was particularly respectful of grassroots workers. After listening to her introduction carefully, he nodded and praised her for her good speech.

When he came over just now, he heard the tour guide patiently explaining and introducing to the masses.

"Thank you, sir. It is my honor to serve you."

The tour guide thanked him excitedly and raised his hand to introduce the price and maintenance plan of the car.

When he heard that the price of this car was only one-fifth of the price of the 212 Jeep, the popular product of Beijing Automobile Factory, Mr. Li was still surprised.

He looked at the car in front of him with some doubt and didn't think it was cheap.

At this time, Du Xian stepped forward and asked Li Huaide if this was the credit of the supply chain system built by your factory?

Li Huaide used his words to talk about the supply chain of the entire system of the steel rolling mill, especially the supply chain of automobile parts production.

"Subdividing the task of car manufacturing and outsourcing it, only responsible for the research and development of core technology and the research and development and production of complete equipment, is the secret weapon to achieve the price advantage of automobiles."

"No wonder, this idea is very good."

What Mr. Z saw was not only the success of the Red Star Factory, but also this new model of business cooperation, profit sharing, and achievement sharing.

Li Huaide also connected the three industries and the industry together with the supply chain, and completely linked the content introduced by the previous members of the factory team into a whole.

Mr. Z finally understood, and he couldn't let go of the Red Star Antelope Jeep, and smiled with satisfaction: "This is the service to the people marked on the car logo!"

This scene was captured by the reporter of the factory newspaper. He continued to capture it with some excitement, but he knew that the scene just now was what Deputy Director Li wanted.

This is not in vain. Deputy Director Li specially helped them purchase the most advanced camera from abroad.

If he didn't take the scene of Mr. Z touching the car, even if he didn't take it well, he would have run away.

He was afraid that Deputy Director Li would kill him!

"How long will it take to produce such a car?"

"The plan is to produce more than 100 cars per day in September this year"

Li Huaide reported: "The construction of the factory has entered the later stage, and the imported equipment and technology are being installed and debugged."

"100 cars per day, 3,000 cars per month, and 36,000 cars per year!"

Hearing this output and price, Mr. Z could no longer contain his excitement. He patted the car body hard and said, "This is the people's car!"

"Red Star Factory strives to practice the concept of serving the people, and all products are designed for this goal."

Li Huaide guided Mr. Z to the motorcycle booth and introduced several products of tricycles and motorcycles.

Heavy-duty cargo tricycles, light-duty cargo tricycles, motorcycles, light motorcycles, etc.

When he heard that the price of the Comet motorcycle would be less than 500 yuan, Mr. Z was no longer surprised, but he got on the motorcycle with the help of the instructor without Li Huaide's invitation.

"Although its power is only 50CC, the overall body structure uses new alloy steel, which is strong, lightweight and has a stable load-bearing capacity."

The commentator enthusiastically introduced: "The scope of use includes but is not limited to household, transportation, postal, communications, patrol, etc."

"Is this also due to the supply chain system?"

Mr. Z nodded with satisfaction, even though a reporter kept taking photos of him looking at the car.

The design of this car is very sophisticated, and it is even more beautiful. You can see the exquisite details of the body parts, which are far beyond the comparison of those stupid, bulky industrial products today.

Although some materials of the body appear to be made of plastic and not stronger than steel, the bumpers and body structure are indeed as the commentator said.

Even if the car body tilts or falls, as long as the bump is not particularly serious, these parts will not be used.

In the event of a serious collision accident, the legs are all in addition to parts, even if they are made of solid steel, they will be useless.

Everyone is dead, no matter how strong the car body is, it is of no use.

People die but cars are still there, passed down from generation to generation?

The explainer was very good at capturing the essence of the sales, explaining that this alloy material has good ductility and the flexibility of plastic can protect the driver's body even in the event of an impact.

After getting off the motorcycle, Mr. Z was very satisfied with the motorcycle.

It also confirms the sales slogan of the steel rolling mill, which is to serve the people.

Make cars for the people, motorcycles and transport vehicles for the people.

Mr. Z then visited engineering vehicles, especially fire-fighting vehicles.

He spoke highly of the development ideas and quality improvement of the steel rolling mill.

In front of the platform, Mr. Z mentioned the miracle of nail clippers produced by Red Star Factory at the last Canton Fair, and even mentioned small hardware. He said that the development of Red Star Factory is really a big step forward every time, which surprises people.

When talking about building cars, he said with a smile that these cars should be sent to Yangcheng for display. Even if they are not sold, it would be good to have them on display.

The exhibition was not particularly large. The steel rolling mill only chose a few distinctive booths to take Mr. Z to visit.

Just walk around the other booths and listen to the people’s discussions to confirm the excellence of the products.

After walking out of the exhibition and returning to the entrance, Mr. Z's fleet was ready.

He looked at the team at the Red Star Factory with great satisfaction, nodded, and spoke a few words to the comrades in the steel rolling mill at Du Xian's request.

"I am happy from the bottom of my heart to see that you are developing well and having strong combat effectiveness."

Mr. Z is a little thin, but his words are very sonorous and powerful.

"The few requests I mentioned are also hopes."

"First, accelerate the development speed and consolidate the foundation of production and construction."

“Second, we must do a good job in trade exchanges and give priority to service and quality.”

"Third, do a good job in ecological demonstration construction and build an industrial park. I want to see it!"

"Fourth, strengthen your ideology and be a diligent old scalper, not a toad with your face turned to the sky!"

Wow——

The cadres and masses of the steel rolling mill who came to see him off burst into applause.

Just when Mr. Z waved and was about to leave, Gu Weijie took the gift box handed over by Li Xuewu and stepped forward and said: "Mr. Z, welcome to the steel rolling mill. This is a gift from all the employees of our factory."

"Oh? You still want to give me a gift?"

Mr. Z also found it novel. When he went to inspect below, he had never encountered a cadre or unit giving him gifts so blatantly.

Yes, there were, but they were all fruits or food, which were eaten on the way to the inspection.

It's different now. The gift boxes delivered from the steel rolling mill are beautifully packaged, and they must not be cheap from the outside.

It’s even less likely to be steamed buns or eggs.

Lu Yun, who was following behind, was very calm and not particularly surprised, even though he didn't know that the steel rolling mill would come to such an event.

Lu Yun knew very well that the steel rolling mill would not shoot itself in the foot.

Today's visit itinerary has been perfect, and I must be prepared for this time.

He remained silent and waited to see what happened, but he shocked the other cadres accompanying him.

Zhao Zhinan from the Foreign Economic and Trade Department looked at the cadres of the steel rolling mill in surprise. Du Xian from the First Machinery Department was full of surprise, but tried hard to restrain his expression.

The city director Qiu Liming, deputy director Liu Xiangqian, and deputy director Zheng Shusen who came with him were all startled by the steel rolling mill.

In particular, Mr. Z’s words about giving gifts to the officials of the steel rolling mill have an unclear meaning.

Seeing Mr. Z's gentle but slightly teasing words, Gu Weijie took the initiative to open the gift box.

"Mr. Z, this is a set of souvenirs from the steel rolling mill."

Since everyone had misunderstood, she had to speak in the direction of the misunderstanding.

But she had already opened the gift box, so the misunderstanding was naturally resolved.

Everyone looked at the items inside the gift box curiously, with expressions of sudden realization.

Attracting enough attention, Gu Weijie introduced with a smile: "Here are the Three-Year Plan and the Five-Year Plan of the Red Star Factory."

"Every customer who comes to visit the factory will be given the "Introduction Manual on the Historical Development of Red Star Factory" as a gift."

She handed the gift to Lu Yun, who came to help pick it up, and raised her hand to signal: "This gift box contains the first nail clippers produced by the steel rolling mill, the first thermos cup, and the Red Star Antelope car you just test drove. ".

Of course, the car cannot be put into the gift box. The gift box contains the car model.

Made of full-size alloy, the proportions are reproduced, and even the paint is of the same quality.

Mr. Z suddenly laughed when he looked at this "local specialty" and praised: "It's very exquisite and beautiful."

"This is an idea thought up by Comrade Li Xuewu, who is responsible for product research and development and economic work in our factory."

Li Huaide reciprocated the favor, remembering Li Xuewu's hard work and loyalty to him, and specifically named him at the critical moment.

"Comrade Li Xuewu is not only a retired combat hero, but also a model industrial worker and an outstanding cadre in the field of defense and garrison."

He waved to Li Xuewu, who was behind the team, and introduced: "He also made suggestions in the development and construction of the Red Star Factory."

"In addition to plans and plans, as well as the specialness of the products, this gift will also be given to guests who come to the factory to study and visit."

Just when Li Xuewu came over, Li Huaide emphasized: "Including foreign businessmen."

"Oh, it's Comrade Li Xuewu, I remember you."

Mr. Z nodded to indicate to Lu Yun that he could accept the gift box. He raised his hand and held it for Li Xuewu. He shook it and said, "You are a people's defender!"

“Thank you for coming to Hongxing Factory for guidance”

Li Xuewu sounded a little excited, but said enthusiastically and seriously: "The development of Red Star Factory is the glory of our Red Star people."

"And this honor cannot be separated from your care, let alone the attention of all leaders."

"I am just an ordinary employee of the Red Star Factory. I have done what I should do, and I will continue to work hard and conscientiously to do my job like the 32,000 colleagues."

Li Xuewu let go of Mr. Z's hand and saluted, and said forcefully: "I sincerely hope that I can invite you to visit and provide guidance when the Hongxing Ecological Industrial Zone is completed."

"Okay - I'm waiting for this day to come!"

Mr. Z smiled and nodded, patted Li Xuewu's arm, turned around and got into the car.

Li Xuewu did not use this opportunity to talk about slogans at length.

This was Li Huaide's arrangement, and it was also an invitation to Mr. Z to inspect again as a representative of workers and cadres.

If this was said by Li Huaide, it would not be as appropriate as what Li Xuewu said.

Why did he tell Li Xuewu about his past identity and achievements when he called him over?

The retired combat hero is one identity, the industrial model worker is another identity, and the advanced worker in the field of defense and garrison is another identity.

He has actually received commendations and awards for these identities and achievements.

At the end, the gift box highlights the core and theme of industrial development, and also explains Li Xuewu's talents and contributions in the fields of economy and production.

So, if Li Xuewu, who has accumulated so many BUFFs, does not speak as an employee representative, who is qualified to bypass him and send an invitation to Mr. Z?

Listen to what Mr. Z said when he heard Li Huaide’s introduction about Li Xuewu.

I remember you, the People's Defender.

Mr. Z knew Li Xuewu, and the title of People’s Defender came out of Mr. Z’s mouth for the second time in a non-concrete way.

Naturally, the people around him didn't know what the title of People's Defender was, and why Li Xuewu would say this when he mentioned it.

Of course they didn't know the words in Li Xuewu's hand, let alone the background of this matter.

Therefore, Li Xuewu's identity became increasingly psychedelic and special, especially his last words, which really made the visiting cadres pay attention to him.

As Mr. Z got on the bus, these cadres also got on the bus with the cadres of the steel rolling mill seeing him off.

Regarding the name Li Xuewu, it was not difficult to find out his background during the car ride back.

He comes from an ordinary family, has real combat experience, outstanding work ability and outstanding achievements.

Especially his other identity, that is, Gu Haitao's son-in-law.

Is this status special?

No, it's not special at all now, and it doesn't even have much impact on Li Xuewu's help at work.

Gu Haitao has been away from Beijing for a long time. He has been in the south for a long time, and later he asked himself to take a back seat.

Now he is just a vice principal, and his influence has been reduced to the point where he is not noticed.

So his son-in-law is so great, is it because Gu Haitao has a keen eye for it, or has he already laid the foundation for it?

Li Xuewu didn't know about these speculations, let alone didn't want to know, because the convoy had already left, the reception work was over, and he was still busy.

The industrial fair at the rolling mill is still going on and will last into the evening.

Especially after Mr. Z left, the restrictions on the crowd were completely released, and the enthusiasm of the citizens was once again released.

The special forces of the security department were withdrawn, but not all the guards were withdrawn, and law and order at the scene still had to be maintained.

The leaders stood on the roadside and were still talking to the three leaders of the city.

Mr. Z left, but they didn’t leave,

In his previous introduction, Li Huaide mentioned the city's support for ecological industrial construction and said that the city would allocate land for special industrial zones, which is a conciliatory attitude.

And Mr. Z did not mention the issue of filling the river, let alone the city's affairs, which is a tacit understanding.

Now that Mr. Z has come, he also said that he must come to see the industrial zone after it is completed, which shows his attitude and concern about this matter.

Therefore, eliminating misunderstandings, eliminating influences, and continuing cooperation are the core and main theme of the future relationship between the steel rolling mill and the city.

No one wants to have conflicts or disputes, and Li Huaide is not a combative Teddy.

If Liu Xiangqian and other pressures had not angered this old rabbit, would he bite anyone?
