Men and women eating in the courtyard

"This turned out to be a big vegetable field, I remember it very clearly."

Lu Qiming stood on the side of the street and signaled to Li Huaide and others: "We came to survey the site when it was first built, and the memory is still fresh."

"May 1st, it should be May 1st."

He nodded with his hands behind his back and said with certainty: "At that time, there were three carriage roads here just to transport vegetables to the city."

"I was poor at that time and had no money."

Lu Qiming said with a smile: "Fengcheng City spent a lot of money to spend 12 million yuan to build this workers' village."

"Preparation, planning and construction began in 1951, occupancy arrangements began in 1952, and everything was completed in 1957, six years, a full six years."

"Yes, Yu Han, I remember it was five years."

"That's right, Deputy Director Lu."

Yu Han stood on one side and introduced with a smile: "I still remember that you brought the agency team to the construction site to work voluntarily."

"Hahaha--"

Lu Qiming smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It was okay before, but now I can't do it anymore."

"Are they all three floors?"

Li Xuewu stood on the street and observed carefully. There were many people coming in and out, even though it was working time.

The distance between buildings is also very large, which is something that future generations of communities would not even dare to think of.

The architectural style of the houses in the workers' village is basically the same, that is, Mao Zifeng. After all, it is a complex of buildings from the last ten years.

Red bricks and red tiles, and various living facilities are scattered throughout the residential area in a well-proportioned manner.

We stopped and walked along the way, looking at cinemas, grain stations, post offices, schools and other construction facilities.

“They are all three-storey, and the houses are relatively high, so they don’t hit your head.”

Yu Han said: "However, the area inside the house is not very large. It is planned and constructed according to the standards of workers' dormitories."

"The workers' village now built covers an overall area of ​​730,000 square meters, with a construction area of ​​400,000 square meters, and a total of 5 building groups."

He was relatively familiar with data. Following Lu Qiming's words, he gave a detailed introduction to the Red Star Factory team.

Li Huaide has been listening and watching, but did not express any opinions.

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, followed Yu Han and walked beside Li Huaide and Lu Qiming, chatting more.

"The workers' village was originally established in accordance with the spirit of the Communist Party's instructions of 'improving workers' lives on the basis of increasing production.'"

Lu Qiming walked on the street, looking at the passers-by, and said with a smile: "At first, the city used money to build dormitories, and later other companies also built employee dormitories nearby."

"Well, there are advantages to centralized living and management of employees."

Li Huaide nodded, glanced at the dormitory building, and asked, "How many dormitories are there in the workers' village built by the city?"

"The figure for the year it was built was just over 20,000."

Yu Han said: "Three thousand dormitories were allocated in the first year, and the construction speed is quite fast."

“After all, the engineering construction at that time was not as good as it is now.”

Li Xuewu stood aside and said affirmatively: "Especially the degree of application of construction machinery has limited the progress of the project."

"That's true." Lu Qiming raised his head and looked at the buildings in the distance, and said with a smile: "At that time, we were still carrying it on our shoulders."

"It's a brick structure."

Li Xuewu walked downstairs to the dormitory and looked at the foundation and walls. They were completely structural features of a brick house.

This is not the slab building of later generations, but solid red bricks and cement, a real solid project.

"What about you?" Lu Qiming looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I heard that your factory is also preparing to build a workers' village?"

"Well, that's true, but it doesn't occupy such a large area."

Li Xuewu introduced with a smile: "The dormitory building we plan is to have six floors, and the spacing between the buildings should be more careful."

"Including residential gardens and supporting facilities, it needs to be more detailed."

"After all, it's the capital, we can't compare."

Lu Qiming said with a smile: "Even if we want to do greening and a park, we can plant trees and grass. If it lasts a year, it will basically freeze to death in winter."

"Furthermore, there are limited funds, and you can see the living environment here."

He stamped his feet and said, "The floor tiles above the curb were laid three years ago. It's impossible to get them right in one step."

"Our financial situation is not very rich either."

Li Huaide gestured to the door of the building in front and asked, "Is it convenient to go in and take a look?"

"Of course, I'll make arrangements."

Yu Han responded, turned around and said a few words to his secretary, and a staff member entered the corridor in advance.

"It is still very difficult to carry out such a large project, especially to accommodate 20,000 workers."

Lu Qiming said: "When the planning drawings were taken out, we all saw them. To be honest, we were shocked."

"35 nurseries, 2 kindergartens, 10 primary schools, and 1 junior high school."

He shook his hands and said, "I don't know how much I have invested in just the education foundation."

"This is still necessary. No matter how much investment is made in education, it is worth it."

——

Li Huaide saw Yu Han standing at the door signaling, so he took the lead and walked over.

Lu Qiming invited Li Xuewu to join him, and they entered the corridor.

The building looks very spacious from the outside, and the corridors are not narrow.

The secretary has coordinated with a worker family, and the door is open.

"Sorry to bother you."

Li Huaide entered the house at Yu Han's invitation and first greeted the hostess politely.

The hostess was wearing a plaid cardigan and holding a child less than one year old in her arms.

A secretary must have made it clear to the other party in advance. Knowing that this was a leader's investigation, he seemed very reserved.

Li Xuewu followed Lu Qiming into the house and looked around.

The traces of habitation are very obvious, and the white plaster on the walls has become mottled.

There is a stove in the corner of the room as soon as you enter, and the smoke from the walls to the roof is pitch black.

On the left is the kitchen, and walking straight in is the 20-square-meter main room.

Without the design concept of the living room, bedroom and dining room of later generations, it is just an ordinary dormitory.

The bedroom functions as both a living room and a dining room. There is no kang, but there is a bunk bed, a mahogany cabinet in the corner, and picture frames hanging on the wall.

The photos in the frame are not all of this family, but also of ***, who seem to be very admired.

Under the photo frame is a cabinet with exquisite teacups and thermos bottles on it. A radio is covered with white gauze on the top.

The teacups all come with saucers, but there is only one pair, obviously they were bought for the wedding.

"You do it and I'll get you some water."

The hostess held the children in her arms, not knowing how to entertain them.

After the workers' village was built, many leaders indeed came to see it.

However, those who have never been to their home have always been to advanced worker families or families with organized connections.

This is the first time I have seen a leader come to this building.

She also heard that the visitors were from the province and the guests were from the capital, saying they wanted to see the house and life.

"Thank you, don't be busy, we are just taking a look."

Li Huaide smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

He observed the environment of the house and secretly thought about the residential planning drawings of Red Star Factory that Li Xuewu showed him.

There is still a fundamental difference, at least judging from the drawings given by Li Xuewu, it is much more regular than what is actually seen here.

Whether it is functional area design or house area planning.

After looking around, they sat on the chairs at the hostess's invitation.

Li Xuewu smiled and teased the child who looked at them curiously with wide eyes.

Unexpectedly, the child turned his back on himself and ran towards him with open arms, wanting him to hold him.

"Hahaha--"

Yu Han smiled and joked: "It seems that Deputy Director Li's face is destined to have children."

"In that case, the child is not afraid of me."

Li Xuewu smiled and picked up the child and teased him, not too much. The child's mother was very nervous, fearing that he would drop the child when he was young.

Li Huaide smiled and introduced: "Deputy Director Li also has a child at home, who is more than three months old."

"Yes, just three months old."

Li Xuewu tipped the child and asked, "This child is really fat. I'm afraid he weighs 16 or 7 pounds."

"It seems that our workers in Fengcheng are of high standard."

Li Huaide has seen the layout of this home. Although there are only a few household appliances, it is considered pretty good for a working-class family.

Yu Han said: "After all, it occupies the basis of heavy industry, and the income level of workers is very stable."

"Are the supporting facilities in this building complete?"

Li Huaide looked at the hostess and asked, "Water, electricity, gas, telephone, garbage disposal, etc."

"this……"

The hostess was asked by Li Huaide and didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Yu Han hesitantly.

Lu Qiming was very cheerful, waving his hand and saying: "It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Oh, I don't know what to say either."

The hostess said hesitantly: "The water is tap water, and the food comes from the water tower. There are supply times."

"Electricity is still guaranteed. The number of power outages in a month is not too many, just a few."

"We have gas and can change it downstairs. Our family sometimes uses gas for cooking."

"But the cooking made with gas doesn't taste good, so I only use it when I'm in a hurry."

"For the rest, I don't know the phone number. The garbage is collected downstairs every morning. There are trash cans."

After she answered, she looked at Yu Han cautiously. It was the leader who had just contacted her, and she didn't know if she said something wrong.

"Telephone calls are mainly open lines, which can reach the communication room level."

Yu Han took the initiative to add: “Water is supplied according to time periods to ensure water conservation and to prevent residents from forgetting to turn off the faucets.”

"There's nothing we can do about electricity. We need unified dispatch. If you provide it, you'll get it. If you don't, you won't get it."

He said helplessly: "What I learned from the electric power side is that the industry is protected during the day and life is protected at night. Special circumstances require special treatment."

"As for gas, our family is also in the same situation."

Yu Han folded his arms and said, "My wife sometimes says that cooking with gas is not fragrant, and wood-fired pots are better."

“We want to realize the installation of gas pipes into households.”

Li Huaide motioned to Li Xuewu and said, "Deputy Director Li, our factory's design at the time included this item, right?"

"Yes, all dormitories are covered."

Li Xuewu said: “Including gas, electricity, telephone, heating, and tap water, pipes are prepared at the beginning of the design.”

"Our factory plans to operate electricity, telephone, heating and tap water independently, so Director Li is more concerned about this part."

"Our factory has taken advantage of it."

Li Huaide continued what Li Xuewu said: "The heating can be connected to the boiler in the factory, so residents do not need to burn the stove themselves."

He pointed to the stove at the door and said: "According to the fire protection conditions, our factory is prepared to control the risk of fire."

"This is necessary if there are control conditions."

Lu Qiming said seriously: "We actually want to control it, but we don't have the foundation."

"Well, we only realized it later."

Li Huaide said with a smile: "There is a lot of experience to learn from."

"It should be said that we learn from each other."

Lu Qiming smiled and stood up together with Li Huaide, shook hands with the hostess and thanked her.

Li Xuewu teased the child and asked him if he could go with his uncle.

The child can't speak, but he is very good in Li Xuewu's arms. There are many people at home today, and he is watching the fun.

After returning the child to the hostess, Li Xuewu also shook hands with her and thanked her.

The hostess sent them out with polite greetings.

She was still surprised when she saw a group of white shirts standing at the door.

These people are dressed the same as the two leaders from the capital who came to the room just now.

These two people gave her the impression of being polite, polite and cultured.

Politeness and politeness can be seen and felt. How can you tell that you are literate?

It's simple, she can understand what they say.

Her lover told her that the speeches of educated leaders, especially capable leaders, are easy to understand.

Those who are pretentious and arrogant are the ones who are lying.

She is also a worker, but on maternity leave.

He must have some knowledge, but he doesn't know what the leader from the capital wants to do.

Did he go all the way from Beijing to the Northeast to study just to build dormitories for the factory?

——

After coming out of the dormitory area, the Red Star Factory team, accompanied by Lu Qiming, visited the school and the management office.

The morning was very tight, and they were not looking at the same place, so the time passed quickly.

It was obvious that Lu Qiming was very interested in Red Star Factory and even ate with them at noon.

In the afternoon, there was an industrial symposium hosted by Lu Qiming.

Representatives from some heavy industrial enterprises in Fengcheng and industrial enterprises in other cities in Liaodong also attended the meeting.

But big companies don't have them, and Lu Qiming doesn't need to help them connect.

Li Xuewu could tell by observing the speeches of the representatives at the symposium that Lu Qiming wanted to bring a catfish to Liaodong Industry.

Perhaps after the Steel City Industry became prosperous with the investment in the Red Star Factory, he thought of expanding this influence.

If Hongxing Factory takes the lead and introduces more advanced management and order demands from outside the customs, it will be a great boost to Liaodong industry.

Of course, Liaodong's industry is developing very well and is very prosperous.

But in the context of large enterprises and monopoly enterprises, they naturally develop very well.

However, many newly established companies or small businesses that are developing slowly still have many problems.

Big companies don't need to take care of it, they can handle production on their own.

But small businesses are not good at it. If they are not careful, they will go astray and hit a dead end.

If we can set up a benchmark in Liaodong, even if we fail to secure media for the first machine factory this time, we can do the next best thing and promote the model of the Red Star Steel Plant.

As long as there is a direction for learning, especially if you start from an enterprise of the size of Red Star Factory, it is entirely possible to learn and copy.

Needless to say, there are twenty companies that can learn a few tricks from Red Star Factory, and he will make money from the emergence of two companies like Red Star Factory.

And it's a huge profit.

The Red Star Factory traveled all the way to Steel City to invest in building a factory, so why can't the local Steel City or Liaodong Industry build a factory?

To put it bluntly, it is still a process of resource possession and allocation.

The Red Star Factory will start the automobile industry in Steel City first, and then there will be no automobile industry in Steel City.

It even affects several cities around the Steel City, and there will no longer be a larger automobile industry.

There is a tendency for talent to be enriched, and there is also a tendency for industry to be enriched.

Hongxing Factory came to Steel City because it valued the industrial base here.

At the symposium, Li Xuewu gave a business analysis on industrial management and supply chain management at Red Star Factory.

This was also specifically requested by Lu Qiming, who wanted these companies to hear how work should be done.

While other representatives were speaking, Li Xuewu was also taking notes seriously, and also marked the information of these factories on the documents given at the meeting.

Seeing that he took it so seriously, the person in charge of the company who spoke later became much more serious and correct in his attitude.

At the end, Lu Qiming, who presided over the meeting, mentioned that when they were speaking, the deputy director Li who asked questions from time to time was the person in charge of coordinating industrial and trade development at the Red Star Factory.

He jokingly said that if he could get in touch with Deputy Director Li, orders would come like a snowflake.

This is actually not an exaggeration. If you can get orders from the supply chain, you will make a fortune.

——

Due to time constraints, the symposium ended one and a half hours before the train arrived at the station in the afternoon.

This gave everyone at the Red Star Factory time to pack their luggage, and also gave them time to board the train and head to the train station.

Lu Qiming was very particular and kept sending them to the platform.

The official carriage from the Red Star Factory was mounted at the end along with the train.

Before boarding the train, Li Huaide and Lu Qiming stood on the platform and had a brief conversation.

"I still sincerely invite Red Star Factory to come to Fengcheng to participate in industrial construction."

Lu Qiming said sincerely: "I hope that the Red Star Factory can bring some different opportunities to Liaodong industry."

"As for the No. 1 machine factory, we can negotiate any conditions that can be given. There is absolutely no problem."

He looked at Li Huaide and Li Xuewu and said, "Our purpose is to pay tuition, learn skills, and learn knowledge."

"Liu Chok Tong told me last night that the No. 1 Machinery Factory is now worth 3.4 million. I told him that 3.4 million is the price we estimated ourselves."

Lu Qiming stretched out two fingers and said: "I paid him a price. If Red Star Factory feels that it is negotiable at this price, I will take care of everything."

"Does it include technology, land, fixed assets and personnel processing authority?"

Li Xuewu took over the conversation directly and asked bluntly: "Two million yuan takes over the No. 1 Machinery Factory. What price do we have to pay?"

"I said, Deputy Director Li, everything can be discussed."

Lu Qiming waved his hands seriously and said, "Even if you think it's more than two million, you can still talk, no problem."

"Technology, land, and fixed assets must be included."

He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I know what you mean about personnel processing authority."

"What I can say is that you can negotiate with anyone you want or don't want. You make a personnel list and leave the rest to me to coordinate."

Because the departure time was getting closer and closer, Lu Qiming did not dare to waste time. He stretched out his hand and shook Li Xuewu's hand.

"I know that Red Star Factory has many concerns about investing in a machine factory, but I also ask Red Star Factory to give us a chance to prove ourselves."

"Leader, should I coordinate with Director Dong?"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and suggested: "Please ask the steelmaking plant to organize an inspection and negotiation team to connect with the No. 1 Machinery Factory?"

"Regional management restrictions can be optimized, and personnel management restrictions also have some advantages. The main reason is that upstream and downstream industries can be connected."

"Organizing acquisitions and mergers in the name of steel mills, right?"

Li Huaide thought for a while, nodded under Lu Qiming's concerned gaze, looked at the other party and said, "Let's just say this first. I'll talk to my literary comrades when I get to Steel City."

"Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

After hearing the result he wanted, Lu Qiming finally felt relieved, shook hands with Li Huaide again and said, "You are welcome to visit Fengcheng often."

"This is for sure. Liaodong Industry and Fengcheng Industry have a lot to learn from."

Li Huaide smiled modestly, said goodbye to Lu Qiming, and let him get on the train.

The inspection and research team of the Red Star Factory had already boarded the train through the door at the other end, and now only Lu Qiming and his party were on the platform.

The conductor on duty standing at the door of the carriage carefully arranged the conductors to perform service and guidance work.

She had just listened at the door of the carriage.

These white shirts must be from companies, just look at the leather bags they are carrying and there are small metal logo plates on them.

Another one, there is the iconic badge on the chest of the white shirt.

This was very special. She rarely saw companies with such uniform attire, and it was rare that such a great company needed such a large number of cadres to send.

What he started talking about was a two-million-dollar job, which sounded really shocking.

But what she heard was just the tip of the iceberg. Red Star Factory's investment in Liaodong Industry was more than two million.

And the output value that the Red Star Factory can bring to Liaodong Industry may not be worth 20 million.

Therefore, it was not too much for Lu Qiming, the deputy director in charge of industry in Liaodong, to personally escort them to the station.

In other words, it was actually Lu Qiming who was chasing after them, biting them without letting go, and trying his best to tear down the Red Star Factory.

Keeping the Red Star Factory means introducing a spark to Fengcheng's small and medium-sized industries.

——

Watching the train start slowly, Lu Qiming and his group waved on the platform and sent the Red Star Factory group away.

It wasn't until the train disappeared that Lu Qiming turned around and took a deep breath.

Yu Han smiled and said: "This bone is really hard to crack, isn't it?"

"It's not just hard to chew, it's sharp teeth."

Lu Qiming smiled casually, shook his head slightly and said, "Of course, there is definitely a reason why they have successfully transformed and developed."

"I agree with you on this."

Yu Han nodded in agreement: "When I first saw Deputy Director Li yesterday, I felt that this person was gentle on the surface, but in fact he was too gangster."

"You can see that he speaks kindly and has a fierce look on his face, but he is polite and courteous. But when it comes to work, he must be sharp and murderous."

He walked with Lu Qiming to the car and said jokingly: "Liu Chok Tong is almost two rounds older than him, but in fact he is not big enough to kill him."

"You also saw it last night, and your confidence was completely shattered. The nagging person and the mastery of the conversation's rhythm really showed his age."

"One more thing." Lu Qiming nodded at him before getting in the car and said, "Old Li and Xiao Li have a tacit understanding of cooperation."

"I also discovered this."

After Yu Han waited for Lu Qiming to get in the car, he followed him from the other side.

He closed the car door and said: "You can tell when you are drinking, people who cooperate in fighting, both offensive and defensive, have a high degree of tacit understanding."

"Hahaha--!"

Lu Qiming signaled to his secretary, and then said to Yu Han: "If the No. 1 machine factory can really negotiate, we will meet many times in the future."

"If you say that, I'm really not convinced."

Yu Han said with a smile: "I have to look around again and again. I still don't believe it. No one in the agency can drink better than him?"

"Okay, five pounds of base weight, it almost scared me."

Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows and said, "I asked the agency to count, and he drank more than five kilograms alone, not counting the pouring and toasting."

"Wine barrels are not enough to describe him. Wine vats are true gods."

"The important thing is whether he is drunk or not."

Yu Han shook his head slightly and said, "I had a chat with Deputy Director Hu Ke. He is a serious, well-connected and capable young cadre."

"We think he is young and promising, and he is also outstanding in the capital."

"That's right - that's what I said."

Lu Qiming patted his knees and said, "If this happens all over the capital, I don't believe anything you say."

"He's really capable. Comrade Hu Ke called me overnight to confirm."

Yu Han introduced solemnly: "I got first-class merit before I changed my job, and I won the May 1st Model Worker Award after I changed my job."

"In the professional fields of industrial safety, security and industrial safety, he is still an expert and has published serious books."

"Oh, I really don't know."

Lu Qiming smiled and shook his head and said: "What is this? You don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain!"

"Right? Hahaha——!"

——

The Hongxing Factory inspection and research team’s inspection function is over from the moment they get on the car.

The rest can only be said to be research, after all, the rest is just internal work.

However, in order to have more contact opportunities with the Red Star Factory and to show their sense of service, Wang Lu, the head of Steel City Industry, and Liu Lixin from the Industrial Bureau also got on the bus.

I don’t know if they had the same idea, but the people in Steel City Industry waited an extra day, and the people in Yingcheng Industry also waited an extra day.

Even though they knew that the Red Star Factory team had no intention of going to Yingcheng Shipyard for investigation.

However, when Li Huaide hosted them for dinner in the car conference room and discussed the actual work of the two industrial bases, they still felt that it was right to stay.

Compared to the large-scale meetings held in the province, they prefer to sit down and talk slowly behind closed doors.

After all, the meat is already in his bowl, so why talk about it?

Go to Fengcheng to discuss whether the funds of the Red Star Factory are located in Fengcheng. What does it have to do with them?

Thinking about it conversely, Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory took away the 2 million investment from the Red Star Factory, which was their loss.

If you want a machinery factory or a machine tool factory, they also have them in the city.

If it is not as big as the Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory, let’s team up with five of them and compete together!

You have to say that Red Star Factory has invested enough in the two regions.

But who would object to more funds landing?

Li Xuewu also learned about the operating conditions of the two companies in the Red Star Factory from the communication and exchange process between the two parties.

It is necessary to look at business management from a macro perspective, especially to draw on pertinent advice from third parties.

While Li Xuewu was talking to Wang Lu and Ge Ping, Li Huaide was also listening carefully.

This was the important purpose of his visit to Steel City for investigation.

It can be said that Steel City will become more and more important in the industrial layout of Red Star Factory in the future.

As a de facto heavy industry production base, Red Star Factory will invest more and more here in the future.

Several projects currently under construction are the focus of Li Huaide's attention.

Especially from the perspective of industrial management, he also wanted to hear what Wang Lu and Ge Ping thought of the Red Star Factory.

Of course, the two of them are more from the perspective of service providers. When it comes to managers, they are actually not.

At present, territorial management is not very standardized. Hongxing Factory's enterprises in Gangcheng and Yingcheng are still managed by Hongxing Factory itself.

Especially since the Red Star Factory is about to be upgraded, the Red Star Factory will be managed by itself in the future.

Of course, the current system division of national and local taxes is still relatively complicated. During the planned economy period, factories still belonged to organizations and collectives.

This also gave the Red Star Factory more confidence to communicate and coordinate with the local government.

After the dinner party, Wang Lu, head of Steel City Industry, asked Li Xuewu a question.

“Does Red Star Factory have any plans to build a workers’ village in Steel City?”

"Actually, in our planning definition, employee dormitories and workers' villages are two different things."

Li Xuewu glanced at Li Huaide and saw that he indicated that he would answer, so he explained to Wang Lu.

"The workers' village we visited in the morning is actually a staff dormitory in our definition, but it has the attributes of a village because of the workers' families."

“However, the workers’ village defined in our factory’s planning is actually employee housing, which has property value.”

He spread his hands and said: "We also have employee dormitories, which provide free accommodation for single employees. Several people can share a room."

"But the planned workers' village is not that. It is a residential right-of-ownership house designed with families as the core. It needs to be replaced and purchased."

"Replacement or purchase?" Wang Lu asked with some surprise: "Don't your factory solve the housing problem for workers?"

"Solved, staff dormitory, multiple rooms."

Li Xuewu said bluntly: "We still have a relationship as a couple now, but we won't have one in the future."

"There are only two ways to obtain housing in the future. One is to replace the current house with a factory building."

"The other is to get a discount based on factors such as length of service, contribution, status, etc., and then compensate for the purchase price to get the building."

“Of course, what needs to be made clear here is” Li Xuewu emphasized: “These houses belong to the workers themselves, not to the factory.”

"The factory will also implement another plan, which is the housing allocation you mentioned."

Li Xuewu said: "We will reserve a certain proportion of housing resources to provide outstanding employees or needy families."

"However, the right to use and own these houses does not belong to the employees, and they need to be arranged according to the unified requirements of the factory."

“Does the concept of home ownership apply to buildings?”

Wang Lu asked curiously: "If the factory is moved, changed, or sold, what will happen to these houses?"

"So I say workers' villages and staff dormitories are two different things."

Li Xuewu glanced at Li Huaide with a smile and explained: "Our eco-industrial zone is separate, industry is industry, and residential is residential."

"No matter how industry changes its form and ownership, residential buildings will not be affected."

He spread his hands and said to Wang Lu: "So, in the future, whether the Red Star Factory is in Steel City or Yingcheng, it will build employee dormitories, not workers' villages."

Li Xuewu knew Wang Lu's purpose in asking this question.

The construction of a workers' village means that the employees of the Red Star Factory will settle in Steel City, and at the same time, people from Steel City will continue to be recruited into the factory.

Even if you have your own education and training system to train your employees, can you prevent your employees from getting married and having children?

It won't take many years, as long as the Beijing workers in the Red Star Factory marry wives from Steel City, the Red Star Factory will have to solve this part of the employment pressure.

It's different when building dormitories. As temporary living places, workers' mentality is also temporary, and they don't even dare to have sex with each other.

Workers in the capital will still go back to the capital, and workers in the steel city will still go back to the steel city.

Wang Lu was a little disappointed with Li Xuewu's answer. She thought Steel City had a chance to accept workers from the capital.

Li Xuewu really didn't dare to agree to this. Now the capital's household registration is very special. If it happens in the future, it will be a big deal.

Anyone who has come into contact with special factories in later generations will know that this company has been operating in Province A for decades and has its own schools and services.

However, when people in this company talk or show their identity, they are all from Province B or City B.

They may have never been to City B in their lives, but they are managed by City B and are considered people of City B.

Even the land belonging to the factory area is considered to belong to City B.

This is the situation of the Red Star Factory now. It wants land from Steel City and Yingcheng. All these lands belong to the Red Star Factory.

The Red Star Factory will achieve great success in the future. Wherever its headquarters is, this piece of land belongs.

Therefore, for the benefit of everyone in the future, Li Xuewu never thought of moving the workers from the capital to the Steel City to settle down.

If he really wants to do this, it doesn’t take long. In twenty years, there will be people who criticize his ancestors every day.

What kind of workers' village is it? Wouldn't it be nice to build it with 30 dormitory buildings?

He has no control over anyone who is willing to find someone to settle down in Steel City.

If you are willing, your father-in-law will fall in love with you, and the two of you will get married in Steel City. This is normal and does not count as an intrusion.

But in the future, they would no longer be able to enjoy the dividends from the capital. Even if they wanted to scold Li Xuewu, they couldn't.

What are you scolding?

Scolding Li Xuewu for not stopping him from getting married?

"I thought you weren't coming."

Zhou Yamei heard Li Xuewu's call and has been waiting.

The call came yesterday, and Li Xuewu was not sure.

"You just finished your work. Is the child asleep?"

Li Xuewu handed the bag in his hand to Zhou Yamei, who came to pick it up, and glanced upstairs.

"I didn't dare tell him because I was afraid you wouldn't come."

Zhou Yamei put his bag away, looked at the box on the ground that the secretary and driver had just brought in, and said, "We don't lack anything."

"It's a gift from Fengcheng, I'm too lazy to take it back."

Li Xuewu changed his slippers at the door, walked towards the living room, and asked, "Is there hot water? I want to take a bath."

"It's burned, I know you want to use it."

Zhou Yamei helped him dust off his shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet, then followed him into the living room and said, "Would you like to wash them now?"

"Well, I feel sweaty every time I take the train."

Li Xuewu shook his neck, sat on the sofa, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The temperature was just right.

"How many hours does it take to get from Fengcheng to Gangcheng?"

Zhou Yamei walked up to him and gestured: "Give me the socks. Do you need to wash the pants?"

"You can wash the socks, but not the pants."

Li Xuewu lay on the sofa tiredly and said, "I brought a change of clothes, which is enough."

Zhou Yamei helped him take off his socks, went to the bathroom to put in hot water, and then came back to call him.

"Are you tired in Fengcheng? Why do you look like this?"

"Aren't you tired of dealing with a bunch of briquettes?"

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, gestured to the bathroom and asked: "Together? Help me rub my back."

"You go wash it first, and I'll tidy it up."

Zhou Yamei pushed him, turned around and went to the entrance to pack up the local specialties that Li Xuewu had brought.

This is the time when all kinds of fresh food come out, so there are many kinds of seasonal fruits and dried fruits in the box, as well as various rare ingredients.

In the past, Fu Haibo often carried these things to her home. She recognized the value of these local products.

He was worried about eating the things Fu Haibo brought back, but he was not afraid at all when accepting these things from Li Xuewu.

It's not that Li Xuewu is more capable or better at mixing than Fu Haibo.

But Li Xuewu is more cautious and cherishes feathers more than Fu Haibo.

Xu Ning had been working in Gangcheng for more than a year and might have guessed the relationship between Li Xuewu and her, but he didn't dare to send her a gift in return.

Li Xuewu would never let her handle anyone's money or gifts.

She didn't need to tell her what she liked to eat or use. Li Wenbiao sent her a greeting from the capital.

Li Xuewu came less often this year, but he didn't send a lot of things.

After packing up these things at the door, she was sweating and had her hands dirty, so she happened to go to the bathroom.

"Can you stay for two days?"

Zhou Yamei first helped him wash his socks and underwear, and then got into the bathtub.

Li Xuewu lay there with his eyes closed and meditative like an uncle, and said vaguely: "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation, there is important work to discuss."

Zhou Yamei glanced at him and said, "Biaozi also said that he wanted to discuss work with you. He said he would come tomorrow morning."

"Well, he won't let me go."

Li Xuewu nodded, opened his eyes, looked across and said, "Let's talk about work first."

He pulled Zhou Yamei over with a smile and said: "Let's talk about the two basic points of focusing on personnel and economics, and strictly guarding against blocking a coordination loophole."

Zhou Yamei knew that his words were not serious and said angrily: "Do you want to talk about holding on to a core idea unswervingly and creating a charming new industry?"

"It's better that you understand industry."
