Chapter 1036 Pioneer
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the clouds and onto the sparkling sea, the whole world seems to be warmed by the golden light.
The fiery red sun rises from the horizon, the process is full of splendor and beauty.
When I came, the sun was shining and the sea was calm. On the way back, seabirds were flying and it was spring.
The seafood porridge on the breakfast table is extremely delicious against the backdrop of the colorful clouds in the sky.
Outside the window, the colors of red, yellow, purple and pink are intertwined together to form a beautiful and peaceful oil painting.
The yacht entered the Haihe River, and several ships on the sea in the distance were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.
This formed a sharp contrast with the colorful sky, adding a different kind of colorfulness to the journey that was about to end.
After a day and a night of sea voyage, the Bohai Bay trip organized by hosts Zhang Changming and Li Xuewu came to an end.
The yacht returned to the dock and everyone got off the boat with satisfaction and nostalgia on their faces.
The bus they took when they arrived was still waiting at the dock. Inspired by Li Xuewu's ideas, Tianjin Fisheries Corporation also tried to change the reception transportation mode.
However, the condition of the buses they transferred was average. They were small buses for employees to commute, and they looked a bit old even after careful cleaning.
Li Xuewu and others didn't care about it, as no one had eaten fine grains in those days.
The bus that Ji Weidong and Li Xuewu handed over has been sent to the capital, and the specific renovation plan has not yet been determined.
However, Xue Zhifu, Bao Peigang and others had already seen the convenience and superiority of the minibus reception, and this was the focus of their conversation along the way.
Since we had already had breakfast on the boat, the bus went straight to Tianjin Railway Station.
The reception office had already prepared the itinerary for the train, with freight trains coming in and passenger buses returning.
The convenience of cooperation with the Beijing Railway Station is fully demonstrated, and the dispatching office has a large number of car body quotas in its hands this year.
It's not a relationship, nor is it an interest. Just look at the number of wagons used by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and its trade volume last year alone, and it was able to apply for the required indicators.
Of course, this has to be said. Without solid relationships and friendships, the railway will not approve so much even if you apply.
This is how a planned economy works. It is based mainly on last year's actual usage, supplemented by additional special applications. It all depends more or less on which direction other people's pens move.
The cooperation in joint trade, freight fleet, passenger dispatch and other aspects has not only improved the economy of Beijing Railway Station, but also brought about the take-off and development of Liangmahe Industrial Zone.
The passenger train turned directly onto the platform from the freight channel. Under the surprised gazes of the passengers on the two sides and the middle platform, everyone waited until the train stopped before getting off the passenger train.
The train door faces the carriage door, which is extremely convenient and saves the trouble of platform dispatch.
The train conductor had received news early on that a business carriage would be temporarily added to the section from Tianjin to Beijing.
Although he is not a leader within the system, nor a big shot outside the department, everyone in the section knows the cooperative relationship between Jingcheng Station and Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
So when Zhang Changming and Li Xuewu got off the train, they were welcomed by the conductor.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Li Xuewu and Zhang Changming first shook hands and greeted each other, and after introducing each other, they jointly welcomed everyone getting on and off the bus.
When the conductor saw Smith Pike and his entourage, he understood why a single train was required for short-distance business at the steel mill.
Li Xuewu introduced the train conductor to the team leader Xue Zhifu, and the two of them greeted each other with a smile.
Because of the limited boarding time and the 40-odd people in the tour group, all of whom were carrying luggage, they could only chat and laugh.
Zhang Changming's secretary brought several employees to move many boxes onto the train. The conductor kept grinning as they watched them go back and forth.
It’s not that the locomotive can’t pull the cart because there are too many items, but the seafood products exposed in the boxes are so dazzling that people can’t take their eyes off them.
No wonder Zhang Changming was polite. He loaded boxes of special seafood onto the car. This time he had a great harvest.
Not only did he get to know Xue Zhifu, deputy director of the steel rolling mill, Bao Peigang, director of the Dongcheng Credit Union, and others, but he also determined a cooperation plan with Li Xuewu.
Money, it’s all money. A few dozen boxes of seafood are nothing. Connections and cooperation are the real harvest of money.
For this trip to the Bohai Bay, Li Xuewu coordinated the cruise ship and fuel, while he was responsible for manpower and materials. They complemented each other and achieved a win-win cooperation.
The entourage from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanied Smith Parker into the carriage, while Peng Xiaoli greeted other guests on behalf of Li Xuewu.
Finally, everyone got on the bus smoothly, and Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with Zhang Changming to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Vice President Zhang, for your hospitality. Welcome to Beijing. Director Xue and I will definitely thank you very much."
"You're welcome, Deputy Director Li. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation and a long-lasting friendship."
Zhang Changming replied with a smile: "I hope the steel rolling mill will develop better and better. Director Han and I are looking forward to your visit again, as well as Director Li and Deputy Director Xue."
"Thank you! Goodbye"
Li Xuewu's politeness was not at all dragging. At the signalman's signal, he stepped into the carriage without being reminded by the conductor and waved goodbye to Zhang Changming.
The conductor got on the train with Li Xuewu and heard the conversation. He knew that the person seeing him off on the platform was Zhang Changming, vice president of Tianjin Fisheries Corporation.
Standing next to him was a deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, who was truly young and promising.
The reason she could tell the other person was promising was not because of her good eyesight, but because she was deeply impressed by his performance from the moment he got off the car.
He does not have the arrogance of leading cadres, nor the arrogance of young people. He is as warm and gentle as the sunshine shining down from overhead.
Although he looked fierce, she could feel the politeness and easy-going nature of his words.
Compared with Deputy Director Xue of the steel rolling mill who was just introduced, the other party has a higher rank and is equally gentle, but not as sincere as Deputy Director Li.
I don’t know if he was like this to all the service staff, or if he was so polite because he felt that this trip depended on their support.
The door closed, the conductor and Li Xuewu waved their hands together, and then took the initiative to indicate that it was okay to enter the carriage.
The nature of the work within the system is very special, especially the railways, which are more complicated than ordinary large factories. They are the ones who handle everything from birth to aging, sickness to death.
However, ambitious and thoughtful railway cadres will also take the initiative to make friends with local and enterprise cadres.
It's simple. Although they don't need local management, they need local support.
Both public and private matters have needs and requests. Even if they are entrusted by relatives and friends, as long as there is a special relationship, it is all a matter of a word.
People in this era value relatives and friends much more than in later generations. In later generations, it can be said that when faith collapsed, credibility also disappeared.
If friends don’t dare to lend money to each other, don’t dare to raise children, and don’t dare to cooperate in business, then can they still be called friends?
Given the environment and era in which Li Xuewu grew up, how many friends, let alone neighbors, would help take care of his children?
Nowadays, if you owe money and don’t pay it back, the government won’t bother you. They will just drown you in gossip and saliva, and you won’t even have to go out to work.
The establishment of relationships and getting along with others are all coincidences or special encounters. Only when you meet and encounter something can you interact with others. It is more intuitive to meet people through work.
Just look at what Li Xuewu said to her, his conversations with the cadres and guests who got off the car, and his conversation with Vice President Zhang when they said goodbye, and you will understand the definition of the four words "young and promising".
The train started, accelerated, and headed straight for the capital.
Li Xuewu exchanged a few words with the train conductor with a smile. The other party was also a cadre and he was serving them, so naturally he had to show some respect.
After returning to the carriage, he made a brief report to Xue Zhifu and arranged for those who had gotten up early to watch the sunrise to go to the sleeper berths to rest.
When Luo Yun came, he looked listless and sleepy, and he was still the same when he left.
Seeing Li Xuewu smiling at her, she kicked Zhou Xiaobai angrily, then buried her head on the pillow.
"Out of sight, out of mind, humph!"
"You didn't sleep, why did you kick me?"
Zhou Xiaobai slapped her in a funny and angry manner, then asked Li Xuewu jokingly: "Brother, don't you want to take a break? Do you still need to go to work today?"
"Of course I have to go to work on Monday. This counts as the start of my workday."
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, helped Luo Yun cover the quilt, and explained: "I'm busy in the morning, I'll find time to rest at noon."
"What about you? You go to bed so late and get up so early, why don't you lie down for a while?"
This carriage belongs to Xue Zhifu. He, Bao Peigang and Smith Pike are drinking morning tea and talking about the cooperation content finalized yesterday.
So the two girls still took advantage of their leader and slept in the soft sleeper compartment.
Zhou Xiaobai was smiling all morning, with his eyes curved like two caterpillars.
Last night she and Li Xuewu chatted until very late, looking at the stars, the moon, and talking about her life and ideals.
Luo Yun, who was lying on the side while chatting, yawned repeatedly, and finally he couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
She also hugged Li Xuewu and refused to let him leave, and in the end the three of them slept together in the master bedroom, which made the people traveling with them laugh at her for a long time.
Li Xuewu didn't even take off his clothes. He was so blatant that he wasn't afraid of gossip. Such a carefree attitude added some youthfulness and recklessness to this journey.
She was very satisfied with her time with Brother Wu, and of course she was so happy to have received a gift that she couldn't sleep.
"I like it very much, thank you"
Zhou Xiaobai raised the camera in her hand, thinking that it was lent to her by Brother Wu again, but unexpectedly it was a gift from Brother Wu.
Now he was holding it in his hands, fiddling with it and showing it off like a treasure.
Li Xuewu rubbed her head, smiled and pushed her down on the bed, then covered her with a quilt.
"No more playing, get some more sleep!"
After holding down Zhou Xiaobai, who was as lively as a puppy, Li Xuewu gave him some instructions and left the box.
Peng Xiaoli was waiting in the corridor. When he came out, he handed over the sorted notebook and materials, and reported on today's itinerary.
"After arriving at the factory, you need to report your foreign affairs work to Director Li and prepare a work report."
Peng Xiaoli reported: "I have just coordinated with Secretary Wu. Deputy Director Xue's first itinerary is also to visit Director Li. You can come with us."
"I will submit the expense receipts for this trip to the finance department for verification this morning. If necessary, please coordinate with Deputy Director Jing."
The main reason is that the reception this time cost too much. The fuel cost alone exceeded the usual amount, not to mention the train costs to and from Tianjin.
Li Xuewu didn't care. He took the documents and walked to the soft seat at one end of the soft sleeper car. He spread the documents on the table and asked while reading them.
Regarding expense reimbursement, Peng Xiaoli had already prepared the report document, and the specific details of the expenses were attached at the end.
After checking them one by one, Li Xuewu signed his name at the end, indicating the explanation of this reception itinerary.
Peng Xiaoli took the document and handed it to Wu Jianjun, who came over when he saw them. The other party was Deputy Director Xue's secretary.
Wu Jianjun first greeted Li Xuewu with a smile, then took the document, read it, said a few words to Peng Xiaoli, and went back.
The trip was led by Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu, so naturally the signatures of the two main leaders were required.
Li Xuewu was the first to sign and Xue Zhifu was the second to sign. This was considered the initial verification procedure for business reception.
A one-day and one-night reception trip cost several thousand dollars, so naturally there has to be an explanation.
"According to your request, I have a meeting with Chief Engineer Xia in the morning. The time is a bit tight, so I arranged it half an hour before lunch."
"Director Li will host a trade meeting at 2:30 pm. You are required to attend. The main topic is to summarize the previous week..."
Peng Xiaoli has long been accustomed to the work and life of a secretary. He takes service work as the overall situation and serving the leaders as his goal. He balances study and training, does a good job as a secretary, and shoulders the obligations and responsibilities that he must fulfill.
While the leaders were communicating and chatting last night, he began to organize the negotiation materials and results, which he would immediately hand over to the Management Committee after returning.
I also have to help Li Xuewu write a speech for a special economic and trade meeting scheduled to be held on Monday afternoon.
In particular, we will summarize the negotiation and economic and trade achievements and experiences of the previous week, and deploy and investigate the work for the next week.
The content will include the economic and trade reception itinerary and negotiations that will be prepared on Sunday together with Deputy Director Xue and Deputy General Manager Zhang Changming of the China Fisheries Corporation.
Anyway, the money cannot be wasted. The business tour group pays for staying at the International Hotel, but when they are invited to the steel mill, it is the steel mill that pays.
Now, in order to take over the British company Smith & Pike, the steel rolling mill has spent a huge amount of money.
The money has been spent, and we must achieve results, otherwise how will we explain ourselves when we return?
Of course, once the results are achieved, how to talk about and write about them is another matter.
Li Xuewu looked at a news report written by Peng Xiaoli, tapped the pencil in his hand, and ticked several paragraphs that described his actions.
"Don't need these, you can keep the others, they are well written."
"Boss, what a pity! I spent most of the night writing."
Peng Xiaoli persuaded, "I have discussed this with Secretary Wu. The news release is in sync. If your part is not implemented, it will not be good for Deputy Director Xue...right?"
"Oh - you know how to talk!"
Li Xuewu smiled, pushed aside the draft and said, "If you don't know, you might think you're going to write about it in a major newspaper. Is it that exaggerated?"
"I'm not exaggerating at all, you're just too strict with yourself."
Peng Xiaoli smiled bitterly as he sat opposite her. He leaned forward and whispered, "Whose secretary doesn't rack his brains to write down the leader's deeds and achievements? Look at me!"
He gestured at himself and said helplessly: "My situation is just the opposite. I'm racking my brains to think of how to downplay your actions and efforts from the transcript. It's too difficult."
"Don't flatter me, it's a bad habit"
Li Xuewu looked at the document in his hand, criticized him casually, and reminded him: "Do your work solidly, and don't just make a fuss on paper."
"This is my job. I have to write truthfully. If you don't allow me to, if I weaken it further, I'm afraid others won't know how these achievements came about."
Peng Xiaoli smiled bitterly and said, "I can't explain that they all fell from the sky, right?"
Boom-!
Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and hit him on the head with a pencil, then said with a twitch of his mouth, "Nonsense."
After saying this, he shook his head slightly, changed the pen at hand, and wrote his opinions and signed his name on the document.
Peng Xiaoli brought some documents home on Saturday night, waiting to make instructions when Li Xuewu was free.
After all, he was not sure whether he could return to the factory on time on Monday.
At least the leaders have read and approved these documents, and can notify the factory in time to take action.
Generally speaking, whether it is a business application or coordination documents, as long as it reaches Li Xuewu and he approves it, there will basically be no problem.
Neither the other deputy directors nor Director Li would block his signature.
The leaders all knew that if they could pass Li Xuewu’s review, then they must be in need.
According to the office system formulated by Li Xuewu himself, the huge and direct procedural control was so strict that even Li Huaide frowned.
The office management system currently being implemented by the steel rolling mill was actually promoted by Ding Zigui before Li Xuewu arrived at the Management Committee Office.
The previous people had already done a lot of groundwork, but it was not until Li Xuewu's turn that it was officially implemented.
You can see how comprehensive this office system is by looking at the fact that Li Huaide’s work schedule needs to be drafted and approved by the Management Committee Office.
Li Xuewu is certainly not Shang Yang, nor is he Xiao He, who made a set of procedures to kill himself.
The core content of Li Xuewu's system is flexibility in strictness, supervision in execution, overall planning accompanied by coordinated operations, and coordination and discussion among multiple departments.
Regarding business approval work, starting from the first step of the submission procedure, it will circulate through the business leader, supervisor, senior leader, and finally to the execution department, and the time limit cannot exceed one week.
In other words, the results submitted on Monday must be seen on the next Monday, and Li Xuewu took the lead in implementation.
If there are any delays in approval, the commission office must have opinions and suggestions during coordination. If not, criticism must be reported.
It turns out that the approval and review opinions of the steel rolling mill were basically obtained by the business department cadres running around the building with documents, from one department to another.
Waiting for this leader to approve, and then rushing to that leader to review, the leaders are annoyed, and the business cadres are also annoyed.
It is different now. Business applications must be submitted for review step by step. The general office or organization office of each department will collect the review documents and submit them to the management committee office.
After the management committee office organizes the information into categories, it will be reviewed by the director and deputy director of the relevant committee office and then transferred to the corresponding supervisor.
Once the approval is completed by the responsible leader, the other party’s secretary will connect with the commission’s office secretary, and the work will be transferred to the executive department.
The executive department must hand over the tasks it has undertaken in the form of a receipt to the secretary of the commission office within the specified time.
These applications will be compiled into a book by the commission office, and at the end of each month, the secretaries will liaise with the relevant departments and the executive departments regarding the tasks in the accounts and process the sales.
If the task has been completed, a task evaluation statement must be submitted along with the summary and plan before the end of the month.
If the task is not completed, an explanation of the actual situation of the task must be made immediately and submitted to the secretary of the commission office, and then forwarded to the relevant leaders for attention.
That is to say, a task takes up to one week from initiation to approval, while it takes one month from execution to completion according to normal procedures.
The length of the task execution period directly determines the commission's assessment of the execution department's ability to act, using tangible data to reflect the other party's work ability.
The half-yearly comprehensive ability assessment of cadres and the annual comprehensive assessment of cadres' management capabilities now have data basis. The organization and personnel departments will conduct interviews and investigations with cadres and departments with poor execution performance.
If there is a work stoppage, the relevant personnel will be reassigned according to organizational procedures.
You may ask how this set of organizational supervision procedures can be resolutely implemented in the current paper-based office environment.
The answer is the Security Supervision Department that Li Xuewu is in charge of. In one year, the number of people in the department has increased several times, and the workload has increased countless times.
After the disciplinary and supervisory departments were merged into the group, Li Xuewu took drastic measures to reform them, changing their previous style of passive supervision to active investigation.
In the organizational and personnel related work, we conduct supervision and inspection on the daily management and execution of business departments.
In the past, the working style in government offices was to spend half a day reading a newspaper, drinking a cup of tea and smoking a cigarette.
Now all the newspaper racks in the office have been cleared out by the Commission Office and moved to the reading room. People can read newspapers during work, but it must be necessary for work.
The supervisory department will conduct on-site inspections at any time, and the office materials on the workstations will also be randomly checked to examine the actual work situation of the cadres.
The unhealthy habits of slacking off, gossiping and doing private work have been completely eradicated.
Li Xuewu, as deputy director of the Management Committee Office, is not a mere figure who just fans, lights cigarettes and pours water for the leaders.
As soon as his eyelids drooped, the secretary of the commission's office felt his feet go cold, knowing that someone was going to be in trouble.
In terms of jurisdiction, employees of each department are under the management and command of the leaders of the department to which they belong, and other departments have no right or obligation to directly manage them.
But this doesn't work on the management committee's side. The factory management agency's title of steward is not for nothing. As long as they are in the office area, there is nothing that the committee's office cannot manage.
Li Xuewu does not seek fame or profit. Since he was transferred to a leadership position, no one has dared to come to his office to give gifts.
To be honest, it is really harsh. If you violate the system, the lighter punishment is a warning talk or criticism through a notice. If it is serious, the supervisor will have a talk and the job position will be adjusted.
If he is dissatisfied with your work, he will call your supervisor directly, and if you are punished, he will punish your supervisor.
Be ruthless to others and be strict with yourself.
Li Xuewu consciously would not create a situation where the system would hold people back, and would not allow such problems that exceeded the bottom line of the system to arise.
As long as the business is managed by people, there will be loopholes. He has never thought of using a set of systems to manage the unit so that there are no thieves in the world.
Even when Jing Yunong asked him to participate in the establishment of the financial system, he reminded him that as long as there is a pen, the system will always be a system on paper.
To put it into practice, there must be strict monitoring and review procedures, supervision and implementation procedures, and procedures for training and education of management personnel.
Jing Yunong really listened to these words and put them into practice.
Since the new management system of the steel rolling mill was promoted and tested and fully implemented, many unreasonable applications have been rejected by the commission.
Some people approached their department heads and wanted to take a step ahead and sign in advance to ensure that it passed the commission's office, but they were often humiliated by their heads.
Special situations can be coordinated. This is the way out that Li Xuewu leaves for the business department, but it may also be a dead end for the supervisor.
If the signature is signed in advance, the leader's attitude and opinion on the application must be indicated, and there is a high probability that it will be approved when it reaches the commission office.
But there is still one hurdle here at Jing Yunong. If the financial review fails, the application will still be rejected and will never reach Li Huaide.
If the application is rejected, the responsible leader will lose face and it will be difficult to submit the application again.
The responsible leader has to go to Director Li for coordination, and then coordinate with Deputy Director Jing for financial funds.
Special issues or tasks have their own particularity and necessity, and have been taken seriously by the relevant leaders, so there will be resolutions and results.
Li Xuewu used the time on the train to review documents. Xue Zhifu stayed up until after midnight last night, almost midnight.
Being a cadre is not easy and it is hard work. Now that the office environment is improving under the new order and system, everyone should cherish it.
Old Li is a person who hates being bound by rules, but he didn't even complain when faced with the schedule work that was personally reviewed by Li Xuewu, let alone others.
When the train stops at Jingcheng Station, the carriages will be handed over to the dispatcher. Li Xuewu and others will certainly not wait to return to the factory with the carriages.
The newly purchased luxury coach stopped at the platform early, and the group got off the train and got on the coach with the farewell of the conductor.
Finally, Li Xuewu shook hands with the train conductor and dispatcher to express his gratitude, and then boarded the luxury coach.
Just by looking at the reception conditions at the steel mill, the train conductor knew that this foreign affairs operation would definitely be a success.
-
"Hahaha, I can hear the excitement"
When Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu walked from the corridor on the third floor to the door of Li Huaide's office, they saw the other party stand up from behind the desk and come to greet them.
"Director Li, I have accomplished your mission."
Xue Zhifu smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Li Huaide, saying: "We have finally chewed this tough bone."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Naofu."
Li Huaide smiled and patted his arm, then greeted Li Xuewu, shook hands with him and said, "Comrade Xuewu, you have also worked hard."
"Please don't say that. I just went out for fun with Deputy Director Xue. I don't deserve it. Hahaha."
Li Xuewu took the fat hand that Li Huaide handed over with both hands and shook it, making jokes.
"Hahaha!"
Li Huaide also laughed, pointed at him and said to Xue Zhifu: "Deputy Director Li is always modest, I'm afraid it's because the gains this time are too great!"
"On the way back, I reminded him not to talk about enjoyment, but about hard work."
Xue Zhifu sat on the sofa at Li Huaide's request and also joked: "It's Deputy Director Li's fault for being so frank and honest that he let the cat out of the bag."
"I've heard that this enjoyment is not easy to come by. It takes hundreds of kilometers to travel back and forth in one day and one night, and you have to go to the sea."
Li Huaide waved his hand to signal Li Xuewu to sit down as well. He then sat in the main seat and said, "Reception work is not easy, and trade negotiations are even more difficult, but the hard work is worth it. This is a tough nut to crack!"
“It’s hard work, but it’s worth it.”
Xue Zhifu sat on the right hand side of Li Huaide. He gestured to Li Xuewu who was sitting next to him and said, "When we got off the car, Deputy Director Li whispered to me that this reception cost several thousand yuan. I felt both distressed and relieved."
"Well, it's worth it. You have to sacrifice to gain."
Li Huaide took the teacup handed over by his secretary Li Haiyang and said affirmatively: "If you pay a few thousand yuan for reception expenses and get back tens of millions of trade contracts, this business can't be said to be a loss no matter where it goes."
"Deputy Director Li"
Xue Zhifu gestured to Li Xuewu and said, "Hurry up and give Director Li a detailed report on what we have gained from this trip to the sea."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Xue, Director Li"
Li Xuewu took over the conversation with a smile, opened the notebook in his hand and began to introduce: "This trip mainly completed the following ten work plans..."
In order of priority and time, Li Xuewu reported to Li Huaide the cooperation intentions reached with Watsons representative, British businessman Smith & Packer and others.
As an independent investor, British company Smith & Parker reached an agreement with the steel rolling mill on the introduction of passenger car technology and equipment, and the import and export of automobiles.
As the general manager of Watsons, he reached a cooperation intention with Hongcheng Oriental Commercial Trading Co., Ltd. on third-party sales channel agency.
The content of this cooperation is very complicated, comparable to the relationship between supply and marketing cooperatives, recycling stations and waste recycling companies.
It's the relationships that are complicated, not the people.
Smith Packer and Ji Weidong have completed the specific procedures and arrangements for their future cooperation.
Li Huaide had known about this part for a long time, and it was also the steel mill's first attempt to go overseas.
Oriental Trade is the general agent of the steel mill and also a pathfinder for the steel mill's foreign economic and trade.
As long as Oriental Trade develops smoothly and continues to sell the goods operated by the steel mill overseas, it will prove that the steel mill has the possibility and ability to go global.
As for the ownership of Oriental Commerce, this is not within the scope of discussion.
It's very simple. The steel mill does not have the ability and qualifications to establish overseas companies, let alone the qualifications to invest in overseas companies.
The only cooperation with Wufeng Bank was carried out through Oriental Trading, and its main investor was Oriental Times Bank, a bank that had close cooperation with the steel mill, which was based on trust.
After listening to Li Xuewu's report on the cooperation with British businessmen, Li Huaide nodded in agreement and praised the two for their efforts in related work.
Li Xuewu smiled modestly and continued to introduce the large-scale investment in the automobile industry and the motorcycle industry of the Dongcheng Credit Union that Director Bao Peigang and Deputy Director Xue had reached with the British company Smith & Parker regarding the steel rolling mill.
According to the investment intention, Dongcheng Credit Union will allocate 10 million yuan for special credit investment, focusing on car brands and motorcycle brands.
Regarding this investment, Li Xuewu gave Li Huaide a detailed report on the cheap car and motorcycle project.
Chief Engineer Xia Zhongquan had already submitted a research and development report related to motorcycles. Li Huaide did not read it carefully, but he could understand it after listening to Li Xuewu's explanation.
When he heard Li Xuewu report that the manufacturing cost of motorcycles could be reduced to around 300 yuan, he was very surprised and showed a lack of confidence.
However, because the report was made by Li Xuewu and supported by research data collected by Xia Zhongquan from the research institute, he did not deny it too much.
When Li Xuewu priced the small motorcycle at around one thousand yuan, he already had some doubts, fearing that the thing would not be usable after it was built.
Now Li Xuewu wants to introduce advanced engine and core component manufacturing technologies to achieve the goal of further reducing manufacturing costs, and he has given his greatest support.
In fact, he understood what Li Xuewu reported to him about the business, but he was a little embarrassed about the specific execution or how to do it.
Instead of giving random commands and affecting development, it is better to grasp a line and let the people below work hard.
As long as there are no personnel mistakes and there is financial surplus, there is no need to worry about these young cadres causing trouble.
In Li Xuewu's subsequent report, when he heard that an unplanned aquatic product trade supply chain cooperation had been reached with Tianjin Fisheries Corporation, he finally showed an expression of understanding.
He understood this. He understood it especially well after Li Xuewu introduced it to him vaguely once.
He even arranged for his frail and sick wife to participate in the preparation and construction of the project.
Of course, Li Xuewu had never met the other person, but he knew that the other person had worked hard.
Don’t ask. If you ask, Li Xuewu can only say that working while sick is not hard enough?
In this project, the steel rolling mill was only involved in the transportation link and did not participate in the distribution process.
Therefore, the responsibility involved is not big, or even negligible, and the cooperation between the three units is beyond the reach of outsiders.
The aquatic products are purchased from Tianjin Fisheries Corporation outside the plan and transported to various offices through the steel rolling mill trade chain project.
Under the arrangement of completing the distribution task in advance, it will be delivered to the canteens of various units or service department outlets.
The various units will not settle accounts with the Tianjin Aquatic Products Corporation, nor with the joint trade project responsible for transportation, but will settle accounts with the Aquatic Products Distribution and Trade Department.
The Aquatic Products Distribution and Trade Department collects the payment and then settles with the steel rolling mill and Tianjin Aquatic Products Company.
It is equivalent to the combined tertiary industry of the steel rolling mill and the aquatic products company, but they do not belong to each other.
The supply chain is invisible and intangible and can be interrupted at any time. It is safe as hell if it exists or not.
Of course, safety is relative, provided that the steel mill does not change its transportation and Tianjin Aquatic Products does not change its purchasing and delivery.
What the Aquatic Products Distribution and Trade Department needs to do is to ensure this, including paying wages on time.
Li Huaide's lover took a copy, so he naturally helped his lover complete the corresponding work.
This is income from labor, it is reasonable and compliant, and it cannot be traced. It can only be said that the network is too big and the road is too deep.
If you understand this one, you will understand the rest, but I don’t know how you will feel about it.
Li Xuewu reported the coordination process with Liu Shaozong, the representative of the Ministry of Industry, and reported the other party's attitude and opinions to Li Huaide.
At the same time, at Xue Zhifu's reminder, both of them made a relatively negative assessment of the influence of the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation on the process of steel mill groupization.
Li Huaide is the biggest beneficiary of this plan and the main promoter.
He has been maintaining and developing relevant relationships and driving forces, so naturally he was unhappy when he received feedback from the two.
And when Li Xuewu reported the suggestions and opinions put forward by Gao Yaqin of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, his face looked even more ugly.
It is not necessary to say that anyone is being asked to reap the benefits, but the fact is that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is a little impatient and is even interfering in the steel mill's business projects.
Apart from the fear of Liu Shaozong of the Ministry of Industry, it was bound to arouse resentment from several other parties, which added countless complications to the groupization work that the steel rolling mill was preparing to apply for.
Li Xuewu invited these people for different purposes. Once they boarded Li Xuewu's boat, they would inevitably show sincerity and make demands.
Liu Shaozong of the Ministry of Industry clearly defined the support policy for the foreign trade projects of steel rolling mills as special and necessary, which also demonstrated the attitude from above.
The requirement is to carry out production and trade work in accordance with the guidance of the Ministry of Industry.
Gao Yaqin from the Foreign Trade Department brought a project of establishing a trade network by multiple strong alliances, which was not very attractive to Li Xuewu. As compensation, she also accepted Li Xuewu's suggestion to apply for foreign trade qualifications for the food industry separately.
Of course, the requirements put forward are also very tricky, that is, after the steel rolling mill's foreign trade projects are achieved in the future, they must go through the foreign trade and economic management procedures.
As for how long this road is and how long it will take, Liu Shaozong also mentioned in the confrontation that it all depends on the ability of the leaders above to experiment and explore the unplanned market economy of the steel mill in the new era.
To put it bluntly, if the steel rolling mill wants to maintain its independence in foreign economic and trade work, it must constantly create miracles, do work that is different from ordinary people, and even open up a feasible path for economic and trade development for other units.
Li Huaide took a deep breath and accepted this reality with great difficulty. This was the inevitable cause and effect that had been planted since the steel mill changed its development goals.
It’s not Li Xuewu’s fault that he dug a big hole for him. He voluntarily took this path.
He was originally conservative, but with the constant advice and support of Li Xuewu, he embarked on the pioneering path of reform.
Sometimes, when Lao Li faces the teasing about his relationship with his colleagues, he can only smile bitterly. He doesn't know how he embarked on the path of reform.
Although not very radical, he tried his best to control the development of the situation, and the development of the steel mill exceeded his expectations.
It is hard to say whether receiving large domestic and foreign orders one after another is a good thing for him and the steel mill.
But he is very clear about his current situation and has embarked on a special path of resolutely transforming the economy and revitalizing production.
The leaders above looked at him differently and even kept an eye on him. He received so much support and recognition because of his active contributions to business management and the economy.
Old Li knew clearly that he had never taken sides, but it was the damn team that took sides with him.
After listening to Li Xuewu's report on coordinating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make the International Hotel the designated reception hotel for foreign affairs activities, he even showed a helpless expression.
He still thinks he is not advanced enough and is afraid that he is not revolutionary enough in the eyes of his leaders. Is Li Xuewu helping him or hurting him?
It’s hard to say, really hard to say. From a positive perspective, Li Xuewu is supporting him to keep improving, gaining attention and achieving results.
But sometimes he would calm down and think that if he continued to make progress and show more positive performance, he would really become a pioneer in the reform team!
I never thought of being a pioneer! Really!
