Chapter 1104 A Group of Honeycomb Briquettes
"This used to be a large vegetable garden. I remember it very clearly."
Lu Qiming stood at the side of the street and gestured to Li Huaide and others, "We came to inspect the site when it was first built. I still remember it clearly."
"May 1, it should be May 1."
He put his hands behind his back and nodded, saying with certainty, "At that time, there were three carriage roads here, which were used to transport vegetables to the city."
"We were poor at that time and had no money."
Lu Qiming smiled and said: "Fengcheng City spent a lot of effort to come up with 1200 million yuan to build this workers' village."
"We started preparations, planning and construction in 1951, moved in in 1952, and it was completed in 1957. It took six years, a full six years."
"Right, Yu Han, I remember it was five years."
"That's right, Deputy Director Lu."
Yu Han stood at one side and introduced with a smile: "I still remember that you brought the team to the construction site to do voluntary labor."
"Hahaha--"
Lu Qiming smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It was fine before, but now I can't do it even if you ask me to."
“They’re all three-story buildings?”
Li Xuewu stood on the street and observed carefully. There were many people coming in and out, even though it was working hours.
The distance between buildings is also very large, which is something that later communities would not even dare to imagine.
The architectural style of the houses in the workers' village is basically the same, that is, the Russian style. After all, it is a building complex from the last decade.
Red bricks and red tiles, and various living facilities are scattered throughout the residential area in an orderly manner.
We stopped and walked along the way and visited cinemas, grain stations, post offices, schools and other buildings and facilities.
"They are all three-story buildings. The houses are relatively high and don't hit your head."
Yu Han introduced: "However, the area of the house is not very large. It was planned and built according to the standards of workers' dormitories."
"The workers' village now has a total area of 73 square meters, a construction area of 40 square meters, and a total of five building complexes."
He was quite familiar with the data, and following Lu Qiming's words, he gave a detailed introduction to the people from the Red Star Factory.
Li Huaide just listened and watched without expressing any opinion.
However, Li Xuewu and Yu Han walked on the side of Li Huaide and Lu Qiming and chatted more.
"The workers' village was originally established in accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the Communist Party of China to 'improve the lives of workers on the basis of increasing production.'"
Lu Qiming strolled along the street, looking at the passers-by, and said with a smile: "In the beginning, the city used money to build dormitories, and later other companies also built dormitories for employees nearby."
"Well, there are advantages to having employees living and being managed together."
Li Huaide nodded, glanced at the dormitory building, and asked, "How many dormitories are there in the workers' village built by the city?"
“The figures for the year it was built were just over 20,000.”
Yu Han introduced: "Three thousand dormitories were allocated in the first year. The construction speed is still very fast."
"After all, the engineering and construction at that time was not as good as it is now."
Li Xuewu stood aside and said affirmatively: "Especially the application of construction machinery has limited the progress of the project."
"That's true." Lu Qiming looked up at the buildings in the distance and said with a smile, "Back then, people still carried things on their shoulders or in their hands."
"Otherwise why is it called a brick and tile structure?"
Li Xuewu walked downstairs to the dormitory building and looked at the foundation and walls. The architectural structure was completely that of a brick and tile house.
This is not the plate-type building of later generations, but real red bricks and cement, a truly solid project.
"What about you?" Lu Qiming looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I heard that your factory is also planning to build a workers' village?"
"Yes, that's right, but the area is not that large."
Li Xuewu introduced with a smile: "The dormitory building we planned will be six stories high, and the distance between the buildings should be more careful."
“It includes residential gardens and supporting facilities, and needs to be more detailed.”
"It's the capital after all. We can't compare with it."
Lu Qiming smiled and said, "Even if we want to do greening and build a park, we can plant trees and grass, which will only last for a year, but they will basically freeze to death in winter."
"Another reason is that funds are limited, and you have seen the living conditions here."
He stamped his feet and said, "The floor tiles above the curb were laid three years ago. It's impossible to do it all in one go."
“We are not very well-off financially.”
Li Huaide pointed to the front door and asked, "Is it convenient for you to go in and take a look?"
"Of course, I'll arrange it."
Yu Han responded, turned around and said a few words to the secretary, and some staff members entered the corridor in advance.
"It is very difficult to carry out such a large project, especially to accommodate 2 households of employees."
Lu Qiming introduced: "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 the education foundation alone."
"This is still necessary. Any investment in education is worth it."
-
Seeing Yu Han standing at the door and motioning, Li Huaide walked over first.
Lu Qiming invited Li Xuewu to join him, and the few of them went into the corridor.
The building looks spacious from the outside, and the corridors are not narrow.
The secretary has already coordinated with a working-class family and left the door open.
"sorry for disturbance."
Li Huaide entered the house at Yu Han's invitation and first said a polite word to the hostess.
The hostess was wearing a plaid shirt and holding a child less than one year old in her arms.
The secretary must have made it clear to the other party in advance. Knowing that this was a leader's visit for investigation, he seemed very reserved.
Li Xuewu followed Lu Qiming into the house and looked around.
The signs of habitation were very obvious, and the white lime painted on the walls had become mottled.
There was a stove in the corner of the room as soon as you entered the door, and the walls and the roof were all black with smoke.
On the left is the kitchen, and going straight inside is the main room of 20 square meters.
Without the later design concepts of living room, bedroom and dining room, it was just an ordinary dormitory.
The bedroom serves as both a living room and a dining room. There is no kang, but a bunk bed. There is a mahogany cabinet in the corner and photo frames hanging on the wall.
The photos in the frames are not all of this family, there are also photos of ***, it seems that they admire him very much.
Below the photo frame is a cabinet with exquisite teacups and thermoses on it, and a radio with the top covered with white gauze.
The teacups all came with saucers, but there was only one pair, apparently bought for the wedding.
"You do it, and I'll pour you some water."
The hostess was holding the child and didn't know how to entertain them.
After this workers' village was built, many leaders came to visit.
However, I had never been to their home. I only visited the families of advanced workers or families with organizational connections.
This is the first time I see a leader coming to this building complex.
She also heard that the visitor was from the province and was from Beijing, and that he wanted to see the house and experience life there.
"Thank you, don't bother, we'll just take a look."
Li Huaide smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you."
He observed the environment of the house, thinking secretly in his heart about the residential planning drawings of the Red Star Factory that Li Xuewu showed him.
There are still essential differences. At least judging from the drawings provided by Li Xuewu, it is much more regular than what we actually see here.
Whether it is functional area design or house area planning.
After looking around, they sat on the chairs as invited by the hostess.
Li Xuewu smiled and teased the child who was looking at them curiously with his big eyes.
Unexpectedly, the child was not shy and ran towards him with open arms, wanting him to hold him.
"Hahaha--"
Yu Han smiled and joked, "It seems that Deputy Director Li is kind and popular with children."
"If you put it that way, the child is not afraid of me."
Li Xuewu picked up the child and teased him with a smile, but he didn't do anything too much. The child's mother was very nervous, fearing that he would drop the child.
Li Huaide introduced with a smile: "Deputy Director Li also has a child at home, who is about three months old."
"Yes, just three months."
Li Xuewu shook the child and asked, "This child is really fat. He must be about 16 or 17 kilograms."
"It seems that the workers in Fengcheng are of high quality."
Li Huaide had seen the layout of this family. Although there were only a few household appliances, it was considered quite good for a working-class family.
Yu Han introduced: "After all, it occupies a heavy industrial base, 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 one……"
The hostess didn't know how to answer Li Huaide's question and looked at Yu Han hesitantly.
Lu Qiming was very straightforward and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, just say whatever you want to say."
"Oh, I don't know what to say."
The hostess hesitated and said, "The water is from the tap, and the water we drink is from the water tower. There are supply time periods."
"Electricity is still guaranteed. There aren't too many power outages in a month, just a few rare ones."
"We do have gas, and we can change it downstairs. We sometimes use gas to cook."
"But gas-cooked food doesn't taste good, I only use it when I'm in a hurry."
"As for the rest, I don't know the phone number. Trash is collected downstairs every morning. There is a trash can."
After she answered, she looked at Yu Han cautiously. It was this leader who had just contacted her, and she didn't know if she had said something wrong.
"The telephone is mainly based on open lines, which can reach the first level of the switchboard room."
Yu Han volunteered to add: “Water is supplied in time slots to ensure water conservation and prevent residents from forgetting to turn off the tap.”
"There's nothing we can do about electricity. It's a centralized dispatch. If you give it, you get it. If you don't give it, you don't get it."
He said helplessly: "What I learned from the power company is that they protect industry during the day and people's lives at night. Special circumstances require special treatment."
"As for gas, it's the same situation in our house."
Yu Han crossed his arms and said, "My wife sometimes says that cooking with gas is not tasty, and that wood-fired pots are better."
"We want to install gas pipelines into every household."
Li Huaide gestured to Li Xuewu and said, "Deputy Director Li, our factory's design at the time had this item, right?"
“Yes, all dormitories are fully covered.”
Li Xuewu introduced: "Including gas, electricity, telephone, heating, tap water, the pipelines were prepared at the beginning of the design."
"Our factory is preparing to independently operate electricity, telephone, heating and tap water, so Director Li is more concerned about this part."
"Our factory has taken advantage of this."
Li Huaide continued what Li Xuewu said: "The heating can be connected to the factory's boiler, so residents don't have to burn the stove themselves."
He pointed to the stove at the door and said, "According to fire protection conditions, our factory is going to control the fire danger."
“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 realized it later after all."
Li Huaide smiled and said, "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 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 cannot speak, but he is very well behaved in Li Xuewu's arms. Many people came to the house today, and he was watching the fun.
After returning the child to the hostess, Li Xuewu shook hands with her and expressed his gratitude.
The hostess said politely to them and saw them out.
She was still surprised when she saw a group of people in white shirts standing at the door.
These people were dressed the same as the two leaders from Beijing who had just entered the room.
The two men gave her the impression of being polite, courteous and cultured.
Politeness and politeness can be seen and felt, but how can one tell if one is cultured?
It was simple, she could understand what they said.
Her husband told her that the speech of educated leaders, especially capable leaders, is easy to understand.
Those who try to be mysterious and quibble with words are the ones who are fake.
She is also a worker, but she is on maternity leave.
He must have some insights, but I have no idea what this leader from Beijing is trying to do.
Did you come all the way from Beijing to Northeast China to study just to build dormitories for the factory?
-
After coming out of the dormitory area, the Red Star Factory group, accompanied by Lu Qiming, visited the school and the management office.
The morning schedule was very tight and they were not visiting the same place, so the time passed quickly.
It can be seen that Lu Qiming cares a lot about the Red Star Factory and he also ate lunch with them.
In the afternoon, there was an industrial symposium chaired by Lu Qiming.
Some heavy industrial enterprises in Fengcheng and representatives of industrial enterprises from other cities and prefectures in Liaodong also attended the meeting.
But big companies don’t have that, so Lu Qiming doesn’t need to help them make connections.
Li Xuewu could tell by observing the speeches of the representatives at the symposium that Lu Qiming wanted to bring in a catfish for Liaodong's industry.
Perhaps after the steel city industry became prosperous with the investment from the Red Star Factory, he thought of expanding this influence.
If the Red Star Factory takes the lead and introduces more advanced management and order demands from outside the Great Wall, it will be a great boost to Liaodong's industry.
Of course, Liaodong's industry is well developed and prosperous.
But in the context of large and monopolistic enterprises, they naturally develop very well.
However, many newly established companies or slow-growing small businesses still face many problems.
There is no need to guide or manage large enterprises, they can handle production on their own.
But small businesses are not like this. If they are not careful, they will go astray and end up in a dead end.
If we can set a benchmark in Liaodong, even if we fail to find a match for the First Machine Factory this time, we can do the next best thing and publicize the model of the Red Star Steel Plant.
As long as there is a direction to learn, especially when starting from an enterprise of the scale of Red Star Factory, it is entirely possible to learn and copy.
Needless to say, if there are twenty companies that can learn a few tricks from the Red Star Factory, he will make money if two companies like the Red Star Factory emerge.
And it’s huge profit.
The Red Star Factory came all the way to Gangcheng to invest and build a factory, so why can't Gangcheng 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 first develop the automobile industry in Gangcheng, and then Gangcheng will no longer have an automobile industry.
It will even affect several cities around the steel city, and there will no longer be a large automobile industry.
Talents tend to be concentrated, and industries also tend to be concentrated.
The Red Star Factory came to Gangcheng because it valued the industrial base here.
At the symposium, Li Xuewu from the Red Star Factory gave a business analysis on industrial management and supply chain management.
This was also Lu Qiming's special request. He wanted these companies to hear how their work should be done.
While other representatives were speaking, Li Xuewu was taking notes seriously and also marked the information of these factories on the documents provided at the meeting.
Seeing how serious he was, the company leaders who spoke later became more correct and serious.
At the end, Lu Qiming, who was chairing the meeting, mentioned that the deputy director Li who asked questions from time to time while they were speaking was the person in charge of coordinating industrial and trade development at Red Star Factory.
He joked that if he could get in touch with Deputy Director Li, orders would come in like snowflakes.
This is not an exaggeration. If you can get orders from the supply chain, you will become rich.
-
Due to time constraints, the symposium ended one and a half hours before the afternoon train arrived.
This gave the people 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 walked them all the way to the platform.
The official carriage of the Red Star Factory was attached to the last part of the train.
Before boarding the train, Li Huaide and Lu Qiming had a brief conversation on the platform.
"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."
"Regarding the First Machine Factory, we can negotiate any conditions that can be offered. There is absolutely no problem with that."
He looked at Li Huaide and Li Xuewu and said, "Our goal is to pay tuition, learn skills, and acquire knowledge."
"Liu Zuodong told me last night that the No. 340 Machine Factory is now worth 340 million. I told him that million is our own estimate."
Lu Qiming held up two fingers and said, "I gave him a counter-offer. If Red Star Factory feels that it is negotiable, I will take care of everything."
"Does it include technology, land, fixed assets and personnel management authority?"
Li Xuewu took over the conversation directly and asked bluntly: "Two million to take over the First Machine Factory, what else do we need to pay?"
"I told you, Deputy Director Li, everything is negotiable."
Lu Qiming waved his hand seriously and said, "Even if you think two million is too much, we can still negotiate, no problem."
"Technology, land, and fixed assets must be included."
He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I know what you mean about the personnel handling authority."
"What I can say is that you can negotiate who you want or who you don't want. You make a list of people, and I will coordinate the rest."
As the departure time was getting closer, Lu Qiming did not dare to waste time, so he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Xuewu.
"I know that Red Star Factory has many concerns about investing in the First Machine Factory, but please give us a chance to prove ourselves."
"Leader, can I coordinate with Director Dong?"
Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and suggested, "Can the steel mill organize an inspection and negotiation team to connect with the First Machinery Plant?"
"Regional management restrictions can be optimized, and personnel management restrictions also have some advantages, mainly because upstream and downstream industries can be connected."
"Organizing acquisitions and mergers in the name of the steel mill, right?"
Li Huaide thought about it, nodded under Lu Qiming's concerned gaze, looked at him and said, "Let's put it this way first. I'll talk to Comrade Wenxue when I get to Gangcheng."
"Then wish us a happy cooperation?"
Hearing the result he wanted, Lu Qiming finally put his mind at ease. He shook hands with Li Huaide again and said, "You are welcome to visit Fengcheng often."
"That's for sure. There are many things we can learn from Liaodong's industry and Fengcheng's industry."
Li Huaide smiled modestly, said goodbye to Lu Qiming, and let the other party send him to the train.
The inspection and research team of the Red Star Factory had already boarded the train from the other door, and now only Lu Qiming and his group were left on the platform.
The conductor standing on duty at the door of the carriage carefully arranged the train attendants to perform service and guidance work.
She had heard it just now at the door of the carriage.
These white shirts should be from companies, as you can see from the small metal logo plates on the bags they are carrying.
Another thing is that there is a signature badge on the chest of the white shirt.
This is very special. She rarely sees companies with such uniform dress, and rarely does such a powerful company need such a senior cadre.
The first thing they talked about was a job worth two million, which sounded really shocking.
But what she heard was just the tip of the iceberg. The Red Star Factory's investment in Liaodong industry was much more than two million.
The output value that the Red Star Factory can bring to Liaodong's industry is probably no more than 20 million.
Therefore, it was not too much for Lu Qiming, the deputy director of Liaodong in charge of industry, to personally send them to the station.
In other words, it was actually Lu Qiming who was chasing them relentlessly and refused to let go, determined to do his best to take over the Red Star Factory.
Keeping the Red Star Factory means introducing a spark to Fengcheng's small and medium-sized industries.
-
Watching the train slowly start to move, Lu Qiming and his group waved on the platform and saw off the people from Red Star Factory.
Only until the train disappeared did Lu Qiming turn around and take a deep breath.
Yu Han smiled and said, "This bone is really hard to chew, isn't it?"
"It's more than just hard to chew, it hurts my teeth."
Lu Qiming smiled and shook his head slightly, saying, "Of course, there must be a reason why they have successfully transformed and developed."
“I agree with you on this point.”
Yu Han nodded and agreed, "When I first saw Deputy Director Li yesterday, I felt that he looked gentle on the surface, but in reality he was full of banditry."
"You see he speaks kindly, with a fierce look on his face, but he is polite and courteous. But as soon as he talks about work, he will definitely show his sharp edge and murderous intent."
He walked with Lu Qiming to the car and said jokingly, "Liu Zuodong is almost two years older than him, but in fact he is not big enough for him to kill."
"You saw it last night. He lost all his confidence. The way he chatted and the rhythm of the conversation were so good that you couldn't tell his age."
"One more thing." Lu Qiming nodded at him before getting in the car and said, "Old Li and Little Li work very well together."
“I discovered that, too.”
Yu Han waited until Lu Qiming got on the car before he followed him in from the other side.
He closed the car door and said, "You can tell when they were drinking. They played well together, attacking and defending. They had a very high level of tacit understanding."
"Hahaha--!"
Lu Qiming signaled to his secretary, then said to Yu Han, "If we can really negotiate with the First Machinery Factory, we will meet many times in the future."
"If you say so, I really don't agree."
Yu Han said with a smile: "I'll have to check it out later. I just don't believe that there is no one in the agency who can drink more than him."
"Okay, five pounds as a base, it almost scared me."
Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows and said, "I asked the agency to count, and he drank more than five kilograms by himself, not counting the people who poured wine and toasted."
"It's not enough to say that he's a wine barrel, let's say a wine vat. He's truly a god."
"The key is that I can't get drunk."
Yu Han shook his head slightly and said, "I talked to Deputy Director Hu Ke. He is a serious, well-connected, and capable young cadre."
"We see that he is young and promising, and he is also outstanding in the capital."
"Yes—that's what I said."
Lu Qiming patted his knees and said, "If this is the case everywhere in Beijing, I won't believe anything you say."
"He's really capable. Comrade Hu Ke called overnight to confirm it."
Yu Han introduced seriously: "Before demobilization, he won the first-class merit, and after demobilization, he won the May 1st Labor Model."
"In the field of industrial safety, security and workplace safety, he is an expert and has published a book."
"Oh, I really don't know."
Lu Qiming smiled and shook his head, saying, "What do you mean by that? You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain!"
“Right? Hahahaha——!”
-
For the Red Star Factory inspection and research team, the inspection function ended from the moment they got on the bus.
The rest can only be regarded as research, after all, what follows is just internal work.
However, in order to have more opportunities to interact with the Red Star Factory and to demonstrate their service awareness, Wang Lu, head of Gangcheng 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 from Gangcheng Industry waited one more day, and the people from Yingcheng Industry also waited one more day.
Even though he knew that the Red Star Factory had no intention of conducting research at the Yingcheng Shipyard.
However, after Li Huaide treated them to dinner in the conference room on the car and discussed the substantive work of the two industrial bases, they felt it was right to stay.
Compared with the small-scale meetings held in the province, they prefer to sit down and talk slowly behind closed doors.
After all, the meat is already in your bowl, so there's no point in talking about it.
Let’s go to Fengcheng to discuss. The Red Star Factory’s funds are in Fengcheng. What does it have to do with them?
On the other hand, Fengcheng No. 200 Machine Factory took away the million investment of Red Star Factory, which was their loss.
If you want a machinery factory or a machine tool factory, they have them in the city.
If you say it is not as large as Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory, gather five of them and compare them together!
You might say that Red Star Factory has invested enough in the two regions.
But who would object to more capital being invested?
Li Xuewu also learned about the operating conditions of the two enterprises of Red Star Factory from the communication and exchanges between the two sides.
It is necessary to look at corporate management from a macro perspective, especially to draw on constructive advice from third parties.
While Li Xuewu was talking to Wang Lu and Ge Ping, Li Huaide was also listening attentively.
This was the important purpose of his visit to Gangcheng for investigation.
It can be said that Gangcheng will become more and more important in the industrial layout of Hongxing Factory in the future.
As an actual heavy industrial 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, both of them are more from the perspective of service providers. To be considered as managers, actually, they are and are not.
At present, local management is not very standardized, and the enterprises of Red Star Factory in Gangcheng and Yingcheng are still under the management of Red Star Factory itself.
Especially since the Red Star Factory is about to be upgraded, it will be managed by itself in the future.
Of course, the current system division of national taxes and local taxes is still relatively complicated. During the planned economy period, factories were still organized and collective.
This also gave Hongxing Factory more confidence to communicate and coordinate with local authorities.
After the dinner, Wang Lu, head of Gangcheng Industry, asked Li Xuewu a question.
"Does Red Star Factory have any plans to build a workers' village in Steel City?"
“In fact, in our planning definition, staff dormitories and workers’ villages are two different things.”
Li Xuewu glanced at Li Huaide and saw that he was indicating that he should answer, so he explained to Wang Lu.
"The workers' village we visited this morning is actually what we define as a staff dormitory, 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 and has property value."
He spread his hands and said, "We also have staff dormitories, which are free for single employees to live in. There are several people in one room."
"But the planned workers' village is not like that. It is designed with the family as the core, and the housing rights need to be replaced and purchased."
"Replacement and purchase?" Wang Lu asked in surprise, "Don't you want to solve the housing problem for your workers?"
"Solved. Staff dormitory, multi-person room."
Li Xuewu said bluntly: "We are still husband and wife now, but we won't be in the future."
"If you want to get a house in the future, there are only two ways. One is to exchange your current house with the factory for a building."
"The other is to use factors such as length of service, contribution, and status to calculate discounts, and then compensate for the purchase price to get the house."
"Of course, what needs to be made clear here," Li Xuewu stressed, "is that these houses belong to the workers themselves, not the factory."
"And 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 for outstanding employees or families in need."
"But the use and ownership of these houses do not belong to the employees, and they need to be dispatched according to the unified requirements of the factory."
“Does the concept of home ownership apply to buildings?”
Wang Lu asked curiously, "What if the factory is relocated, changed, or sold? What will happen to these houses?"
“So I said that workers’ villages and staff dormitories are two different things.”
Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at Li Huaide, explaining: "Our ecological industrial zone is separate. Industry is industry, and residence is residence."
“No matter how the industry changes its form and ownership, the residential sector will not be affected.”
He spread his hands and said to Wang Lu: "So, in the future, whether the Red Star Factory is in Gangcheng or Yingcheng, it will build staff dormitories instead of workers' villages."
Li Xuewu knew the purpose of Wang Lu asking this question.
Building a workers' village means that employees of the Red Star Factory will settle in Gangcheng, and at the same time, more people will be recruited from Gangcheng into the factory.
Even if you have your own education and training system to train employees, can you stop them from getting married and having children?
It won't take many years, as long as the Beijing employees of the Red Star Factory marry women from Steel City, the Red Star Factory will have to solve this part of the employment pressure.
Building dormitories is different. They are temporary living places and the workers’ mentality is also temporary. They don’t even dare to date.
Workers from the capital will return to the capital, and workers from the steel city will return to the steel city.
Wang Lu was somewhat disappointed with Li Xuewu's answer. She had thought that Gangcheng would have a chance to accept workers from Beijing.
Li Xuewu really didn't dare to agree to her on this point. Now the Beijing household registration is already very special. If it happens in the future, it will be very troublesome.
Anyone who has come into contact with the special factory in later generations knows that this enterprise has been operating in Province A for decades and has its own schools and services.
However, when the people from this company speak or show their identities, they are all from Province B or City B.
They may never have been to City B in their lives, but they are governed by City B and are considered people of City B.
Even the land belonging to the factory belongs to City B.
This is the situation with the Red Star Factory now. It controls land with Gangcheng and Yingcheng. All of these lands belong to the Red Star Factory.
The Red Star Factory will have a great future. This piece of land will belong to wherever its headquarters is.
So, for the sake of everyone's future benefit, Li Xuewu never thought of moving the workers from Beijing to Gangcheng to settle down.
If he really does this, in less than twenty years, there will be people cursing his ancestors every day.
Why build a workers' village? Wouldn't it be better to build thirty dormitory buildings?
He has no control over those who are willing to find a partner and settle down in Gangcheng.
You were willing, your father-in-law liked you, and the two of you got married in Gangcheng. This is normal and does not count as marrying into the family.
But from now on, they can no longer enjoy the benefits of the capital, so even if they want to curse, they can't blame Li Xuewu.
What are you scolding?
Scolding Li Xuewu for not stopping him from finding a girlfriend and getting married?

"I thought you weren't coming."
Zhou Yamei heard Li Xuewu's call and had been waiting.
The call came yesterday and Li Xuewu couldn't say for sure.
"Just finished, is the child asleep?"
Li Xuewu handed the bag in his hand to Zhou Yamei who came to pick him up and took a look 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 need anything."
"It was sent by Fengcheng. I'm too lazy to take it back."
Li Xuewu changed his slippers at the door and walked to the living room, asking, "Is there hot water? I want to take a bath."
"It's ready. I know you need it."
Zhou Yamei helped him dust off the dirt on his shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet, then followed him into the living room and asked, "Do you want to wash them now?"
"Well, I feel sweaty when I'm on a train."
Li Xuewu shook his neck, sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The temperature was just right.
"From Fengcheng to Gangcheng, how many hours does it take?"
Zhou Yamei walked up to him and gestured, "Give me your socks. Do you want to wash your pants?"
"You can wash your socks, but not your pants."
Li Xuewu lay down on the sofa a little tiredly and said, "I brought some spare clothes, which are enough for me."
Zhou Yamei helped him take off his socks, went to the bathroom to run some hot water, and then came back to call him.
"Are you tired in Fengcheng? Why do you look like that?"
"It's exhausting to deal with a bunch of honeycomb coals."
Li Xuewu pulled the corner of his mouth, pointed to the bathroom and asked, "Want to join me? Rub my back for me."
"You go wash first, I'll clean up."
Zhou Yamei pushed him away, turned around and went to the entrance to pack up the local specialties that Li Xuewu brought.
This is the time when all kinds of fresh fruits come down, so the box contains various seasonal fruits and dried fruits, as well as various rare ingredients.
In the past, Fu Haibo often brought these things home, as she recognized the value of these local specialties.
I was nervous when eating the things Fu Haibo brought back, but I was not afraid at all when receiving these things from Li Xuewu.
It’s not that Li Xuewu is more capable or doing better than Fu Haibo.
Rather, Li Xuewu is more cautious and more careful about his reputation than Fu Haibo.
Xu Ning had been working in Gangcheng for more than a year. She might have guessed the relationship between Li Xuewu and her, but she didn't even dare to send him a gift.
Li Xuewu also never let her accept money or gifts from anyone.
She didn't need to tell him what she liked to eat or use. Just give Li Wenbiao a call from Beijing and he would send the food to her home.
Li Xuewu came less often this year, but the things he brought were just as much.
After cleaning up the things at the door, she was sweating and her hands were dirty, so she went to the bathroom.
"Can you stay for two days?"
Zhou Yamei first helped him wash his socks and underwear before getting into the bathtub.
Li Xuewu lay there with his eyes closed like an old man, 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 he wanted to discuss work with you and that 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 smiled and pulled Zhou Yamei over, saying, "Let's talk about the two basic points of firmly grasping personnel and economy, and strictly guarding against and plugging a coordination loophole."
Zhou Yamei knew that he was talking nonsense, so she asked angrily, "Do you want to talk about holding on to a core idea and creating a new industry full of charm?"
"You understand industry."
