Chapter 1162: Do you think it’s right?
"What do you think?"
Sitting in the car, on the way back to the factory, Chantal asked Li Huaide: "We can provide more and more extensive support."
“No, this is not a question of the level of support, this is a question of principle.”
Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu confidently, and said to Chantal with a smile: "Red Star Factory has the ability and responsibility to independently support the construction and development of the ecological industrial zone, otherwise we would not have taken on this project."
"We have limited funds and outdated engineering equipment, but our thinking is not outdated and our vision is broad."
He pointed at the ecological industrial zone planning map on the marble table and said, "The reason why we chose to merge with other factories and took the trouble to exchange for land space is to ensure independence and ensure the speed of development."
"Of course, we do not reject cooperation, nor do we reject openness."
Li Huaide tactfully rejected Chantal's broader fund-raising plan and industrial zone co-construction plan.
Li Xuewu didn't know who had tipped her off, or which factories the foreign economic and trade offices introduced to them during their cooperation with the Red Star Factory.
But from the other party's tentative tone, we can gather that someone is optimistic about the potential of the Red Star Factory and the development results of the ecological industrial zone construction, and wants to get a piece of the pie.
Is Lao Li a good person? Is he honest? Can he do business at a loss?
The Red Star Factory is Lao Li's lifeblood. He would fight to the death with anyone who dares to reduce his lifeblood by one millimeter.
“We are going to build a joint industrial building, we are going to build a joint research institute and laboratory, and we are going to build a comprehensive trade warehouse.”
Old Li clearly and accurately pointed out the locations of the functional areas he had just mentioned on the planning map.
It can be seen from this that he had been thinking (dreaming) a lot about the big picture that Li Xuewu had drawn for him and the Lantu that he had unfolded.
You may say that he doesn't understand construction engineering, but he should be able to understand the planning drawings.
“We will invite more joint enterprise cooperation offices to move into the Red Star Factory and the United Industrial Building.”
Li Huaide spread his hands on the blueprint and introduced: "We will invite more scientific research institutions and universities to conduct joint research and cooperation."
“We will also continue to expand our joint trade work and build integrated trade warehouses in more cities.”
He pointed at the locations of more than a dozen important cities on the national map that Li Xuewu had helped to spread out, and said clearly: "This is our vision."
"Inward? Inward vision?"
Chantal understood, but also raised questions about the key points.
She looked at the cities that Li Huaide had mentioned, thinking about something in her mind, but the topic had already extended to foreign countries.
Li Huaide smiled without saying anything, but looked at Li Xuewu and motioned him to speak.
Li Xuewu nodded slightly, and after Chantal finished looking at the map on the table and thought for a while, he introduced them in a friendly manner.
"Our Director Li is always conscientious and down-to-earth in his conduct and work."
As he spoke, he spread a world map on the table and said, "I am young, bold, and a little too ambitious."
"Haha, Deputy Director Li is being modest—"
Li Huaide was criticizing Li Xuewu, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
“The world is as big as your heart, and young people should venture out.”
The word "chuangdang" here is not a verb, but an adjective.
He introduced Chantal: "Deputy Director Li is in charge of our factory's external business, so it would be more convenient for him to introduce it."
"I admire Deputy Director Li's professionalism, especially his international perspective. His experience amazes me."
Chantal smiled with a dagger in her heart, and her flattery was hooked. She was obviously telling the truth, but she was a little afraid in her heart.
What are you afraid of?
I was afraid that there was a person in the Red Star Factory who had never been abroad, was too young, but was well aware of the international situation.
Isn't it scary to have someone who is sharp-tongued, has extraordinary abilities, speaks fluent foreign languages, and has special knowledge in advanced industries and other fields?
If you say this is normal, then during the negotiations he immediately mentioned the helicopter project that France and the UK are currently cooperating on. Do you still think he is normal?
Able to handle complex foreign affairs incidents, able to negotiate helicopter projects, work at the Red Star Factory, and have a part-time job at the garrison...
If you still say he is normal, Chantal can only curse.
"There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A scholar knows everything about the world without leaving home.'"
Li Xuewu smiled and didn't care about Chantal's trick. He explained, "Although I'm not as knowledgeable as a scholar, I like to read a lot of books."
As he was speaking, the translator behind Chantal wanted to curse, "Can't you speak in plain language? What are you talking about?"
Of course you should say polite words in Chinese, but you can switch to French when you are working.
He pointed at the world map and told Chantal about the Red Star Factory's current plans and layout in world trade.
What are two points in a straight line, a stroke and a hook, what are the key developments and the emphasis on cooperation? It's very high-end and mysterious.
Chantal didn't need a translator, but what Li Xuewu said was confusing.
Her vice president of business, William Robin, was also confused.
According to the translator, after hearing what Li Xuewu said, Li Huaide gritted his teeth and pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
Just smile and let's stop making trouble.
Li Xuewu is really good at making trouble. Everyone in the factory says he is the best at deceiving foreigners, and it really comes true here.
Xue Zhifu was also in the car. After hearing what the translator said, he looked at Li Xuewu differently.
When he couldn't bear it any longer, he turned his head and faced the window.
What he was thinking was, you foreigners should thank us, because we kept a close eye on him and didn't give him the opportunity to go abroad.
If Li Xuewu were allowed to go abroad, the world trade pattern would be ruined. It would all be a scam and a hoax.
What the hell is that? Two points and a straight line, a stroke and a hook. He is the deputy director of the Management Committee of the Red Star Factory, how come he has never heard of it?
Hey, don’t say that he hasn’t heard of it. Old Li who is holding it in over there also said, “I’m the director of the management committee, and I haven’t heard of it. How can you have heard of it?”
Li Xuewu talked about two points and a line. The two points are Tianjin and the port city, and the line refers to the communication and exchanges between the two port cities.
What are the left and right strokes? They are to expand the trade economy from the inside to the outside based on the center points of this line respectively.
The products of Gangcheng Industrial Zone go directly to Port City, using Port City as a springboard to radiate throughout Southeast Asia and outward along the coastline.
As the second support point, Tianjin Port directly expands to Japan, South Korea, North America and South America, focusing on the Pacific economy.
You said that the Red Star Factory is too awesome. They haven’t even set up their domestic offices yet, and now they want to go overseas. Can they do it?
Of course it can’t be exported, as Red Star Factory has no overseas distribution channels.
But the fact that the Red Star Factory doesn’t have them doesn’t mean that there aren’t any international traders. As long as there are foreign merchant ships docked at Tianjin Port, there will be no shortage of sea coachmen.
In other words, when Red Star Factory was unable to build its own foreign trade channels, it chose suitable partners for key development.
No matter what kind of person you are outside, once you come to the mainland, as long as you can sell our goods, you are a good cat.
We will focus on development and support, and market the project products that we independently develop and produce at certain preferential prices.
We do not invade the international trade market, we only act as a troublemaker in the international trade market.
Well, we are sticks--
Now that we have focused on development, what about focusing on cooperation?
It’s very simple. Geelystar, Santaya and Wufengxing, aren’t they all collaborations?
We have a mature industrial system and low-cost operating factories. We want to be the world's factory, so when we cooperate, we focus on technical cooperation and shared cooperation.
No one understands the psychology of foreigners better than Li Xuewu. If the Red Star Factory really wants to engage in a price war and introduce policies to support international traders, then the world trade situation will definitely be disrupted here.
Merchants are profit-driven, just like flies. There is something really sweet here, and you can’t drive them away.
It seems that this is a policy of support and benefit to foreign investors, but it is not the case for Chantal, she wants to have it all to herself!
Why did she wait until the foreign trade team had left before she started negotiating with the Red Star Factory? It was because she was afraid of arousing the vigilance of other foreign investors.
But when she heard Li Xuewu explain the foreign trade plans of Red Star Factory, her heart skipped a beat.
From the perspective of the Red Star Factory, it is absolutely right to create two industrial outlets, run through trade connections, do business "at home", and make the company known as the world's factory.
If she were Li Huaide, she would want to hug Li Xuewu and kiss him. Such a subordinate is very rare.
But she is not from the Red Star Factory, she is the one who wants to have the best of both worlds!
The Red Star Factory currently has three main partners: one is the internal channel like Wufenghang, one is the technical channel like her and Andrew, and the last is the retail investors attracted by foreign trade.
She would not consider trust representatives like Wufenghang. There is no comparison at all. They have the same blood in their bones.
Originally, she should be wary of old money families like Andrew, and guard against them snatching her opportunities.
But now that Red Star Factory has changed its mind, it is actually preparing to start supporting those retail investors that she is least worried about.
What are retail investors? They move from place to place after making a move. They go wherever there is profit. If they really become successful here...
There is no doubt that as long as the Red Star Factory provides certain policy support and preferential policies, these retail investors will soon become big investors and finally become international traders.
In this process, it is enough if one out of ten traders supported by Red Star Factory deepens cooperation and becomes the core.
What will happen to these first-batch trading companies that pursue predatory business objectives when the time comes?
Of course, this is just Li Xuewu’s introduction. No actual policies have been introduced yet, so Santaya still has time.
Besides, is what Li Xuewu said necessarily true?
This question is worth thinking about, and she needs to go back and think about it before making a conclusion.
-
"Still thinking about the Santaya Group?"
That afternoon, Li Xuewu took a car to the city to discuss the acquisition of the theater. He was accompanied by Bu Qingfang, director of the Propaganda Department.
There were three cars in total, and the two cars at the back had several cadres from the Art and Literature Propaganda Team and the Engineering Department.
Bu Qingfang saw that Li Xuewu was still frowning after getting in the car, so she smiled and patted his knee and said, "You have to be patient when fishing."
It is actually not difficult to find out how Bu Qingfang knew that Li Xuewu was deceiving foreigners on Hongtu No. 1.
She is the person in charge of publicity work, so of course she needs to be aware of the work status and trends of the factory's main leaders.
In particular, such major external reception and exchange activities are the focus of internal reporting and research.
Bu Qingfang has been working in the propaganda field for almost eight years. It is no exaggeration to say that any disturbance in the factory can be hidden from her.
Li Xuewu glanced at her, his frown faded a little, and he asked with a smile, "Is the publicity work more convenient this year?"
"What? You want favors now?"
Seeing that Li Xuewu wanted to explain, Bu Qingfang waved his hand and said jokingly: "Okay, if you have something to say, just tell me. It's our Propaganda Department that owes you."
"Oh, what you said, I am so embarrassed——"
Li Xuewu leaned back in his chair, looking at the increasing traffic on the road leading into the city. He was very pleased with the current economic development situation.
The society tends to be stable, the situation tends to be stable, people's minds are settled, and grasping reform and production is a demand and affirmation of stability.
"Look, whether it's the propaganda team or the radio station, I didn't ask for favors when I helped them—"
Li Xuewu smiled and spread his hands, and said to Bu Qingfang: "Is this true?"
“Does this count?”
Bu Qingfang smiled at him and asked, "Tell me, how big is your request? Don't scare me, I'm a petty person."
"You are looking at people through the crack of the door—"
Li Xuewu folded his right leg and said seriously: "The propaganda team has been expanded and reformed, and is currently undergoing a secondary development."
"While meeting the needs of Red Star Factory's internal literary and artistic propaganda, it can also meet the needs of the technological propaganda work of the United Industrial Brothers."
He tapped his open palm and continued, "Now, according to Director Li's instructions, we should continue to expand our influence, go out and publicize the advanced culture and experience of the Red Star Factory. Isn't that great?"
"As for the radio station, after the reorganization and reform, the programs are becoming more and more innovative, closer to the voices of the factory workers, and more representative of the masses."
Li Xuewu looked at Bu Qingfang and said, "The radio station has done a great job in reform and publicity, and has been praised by the factory leaders."
"So what's the next step? As an important branch of the propaganda department, should the factory newspaper also seek reform and development?"
"You remind me now—"
Bu Qingfang is more than ten years older than Li Xuewu. She shows enough respect to him at work, but is very relaxed and easy-going in private.
She slapped Li Xuewu on the thigh, looked at him seriously and said, "The leadership intends to reform and upgrade the factory newspaper, right?"
"In the last meeting, we discussed what the future of the factory newspaper would be as an important voice and platform for the factory's organizational work."
"This is a huge issue, we need to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time."
Li Xuewu was touched on the thigh by her blatantly. He knew that she was taking advantage of him on purpose, but he couldn't afford to offend a woman in her thirties.
"Based on the sales and promotion performance of several newspapers and magazines on the market, combined with the reform experience of the propaganda team and the radio station, my opinion is to seek truth from facts and work hard."
"Ha, you said I was exaggerating. Your four-word opinion is too concise."
Bu Qingfang was just joking with him, she wouldn't take it seriously, but young people just have good bodies!
"Please give me some advice, I can't wait any longer."
"I don't deserve your advice. We are all comrades. I will just say what I want to say."
Li Xuewu smiled and retorted to her, telling her to respect herself and stop taking advantage of him.
Of course, these are all jokes. Although the two don’t have a particularly close personal relationship, they still have a tacit working relationship.
In fact, many people have the habit of separating work and life. It is enough to maintain a friendly understanding at work. There is no need to treat each other like relatives.
The higher you go, the more this happens. There are very few department-level cadres in the factory who get together to drink every day, and it has a very bad influence.
Especially when promoting and appointing people, the organization department will focus on the interpersonal relationships of the parties involved.
Having such obvious connections and social connections will affect your future.
The most suitable ones are the type of gentlemen like Li Xuewu and Bu Qingfang, whose friendship is as pure as water. If you don’t believe me, think about it carefully.
"The first is internal change, which must happen, and fast."
Li Xuewu was talking seriously and Bu Qingfang even opened his notebook to take notes. This is attitude and tacit understanding.
No matter how much trouble there is, Li Xuewu's position and the power he holds still mean he is her leader.
Otherwise, why is Li Xuewu leading the team today?
"Political affairs, news, learning, etc. should have independent pages; life, services, logistics, etc. should have independent pages; culture, entertainment, and construction should have independent pages. This is the most basic requirement."
Li Xuewu explained to her as he spoke, and he made it very clear.
According to his requirements, the factory newspaper should publish an independent magazine, a comprehensive newspaper, and should broaden and enlarge its vision, but also lower it.
Wide refers to the breadth of the area, and we need to see more industrial development; big refers to the pattern, and we need to pay attention to the development of joint units and tertiary industries, as well as the development of the world trade pattern.
Low is a mentality. Reports should play a leading role, as well as a guiding role, and should also reflect the actual thoughts and problems of the masses.
Things that cannot be explained clearly and in detail in newspapers must be explained clearly and thoroughly in magazines.
Publications are made for the general public. It is not good enough if only government officials can understand it. It is good only if factory employees and their families can understand it and like to read it.
This is the first step. The second step is to make external changes.
There are two levels of external changes, one inside the factory and the other outside the factory.
Li Xuewu has talked about this before in the factory area. The factory newspaper is also being produced in cooperation with the propaganda team and the radio station.
But this time, Li Xuewu put forward new requirements and expectations, which was to gradually integrate the three units together.
“A clenched fist is powerful.”
Li Xuewu gestured with his fist towards Bu Qingfang and said to her, "The factory newspaper, radio station, propaganda team, and even the external performance service work we are about to do are all key tasks in the publicity field."
"You need to attach great importance to this in your mind and promote the Red Star Factory brand. How can you promote it without unity and centripetal force?"
He nodded and said, "You should have read the preliminary opinions and contents of the group organizational structure issued by the factory management committee."
"In the future group formation process, we will use these three teams as the main foundation to establish the factory's literary and artistic publishing house."
Literature and art, performances, radio, film, and newspapers are important cultural and publicity components of the Red Star Factory in the future.
The factory propaganda department was upgraded to the group propaganda department. There are no department-level branches under it, only factory-level direct branches, namely the branch propaganda departments.
The current second-level branches must jointly form a department-level publishing house in order to make further progress and upgrade in the future.
Bu Qingfang also understood this, so when Li Xuewu said this, she took notes more carefully and there was no joking expression on her face anymore.
In the statement on external cooperation and expansion, Li Xuewu emphasized that Red Star Media must be more efficient and stable, and must more actively expand its influence.
This merger of 16 Beijing enterprises and one Fengcheng enterprise is the best opportunity for the factory publicity department to do its work.
In order to establish the framework of a literary and art publishing house, the company newspaper is a more penetrating media carrier than the propaganda team and the radio station.
Therefore, while merging the propaganda forces of the 17 companies, we must also expand the propaganda power of the Red Star Factory newspaper.
It is necessary to strengthen the construction of publicity departments of key branches such as Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory, Steel City Industry, and Tianjin Trade.
It is also necessary to unify the factory newspaper, make it independent, and control it under the control of the Red Star Factory Propaganda Department in the form of a branch.
In the process of future upgrading and group formation, the establishment of a publishing house will be the most powerful means to unify the propaganda tone.
Otherwise, if the Red Star Factory reports an opinion and the Fengcheng First Machine Factory reports an opinion, wouldn't it be a big joke?
The management and leadership of branch factories will become more and more strict, and the authority will be tightened as the factories are promoted and grouped.
For example, leaders at the branch level are not allowed to express their opinions and attitudes without authorization from the Red Star Factory Management Committee.
Whether internally or externally, the key to managing opinions and attitudes is the factory report.
“Internally, we must lay a solid foundation and do a good job of construction, and externally, we must continue to expand until we have won the propaganda work of the joint units.”
-
Li Xuewu's attitude and opinions were very aggressive. He pointed out without reservation that the publicity work of the Red Star Factory would be of great use in the future.
A word of advice to Bu Qingfang: keep your guns ready before going to the battlefield, and don't just rush in with your bare butt.
After hearing his words, Bu Qingfang felt heavy in his heart, mixed with joy and sorrow.
Where does joy come from, and where does sorrow come from?
Who is Li Xuewu? He is the main driving force behind the factory's advancement and groupization, and the successor that Li Huaide values the most and focuses on training.
He is now gradually taking over the business coordination and organizational work of the entire factory, which is the job of the director of the factory management committee office. How could Bu Qingfang not pay attention to what he says?
To a large extent, Li Xuewu's words represent the opinions and work direction of the management committee.
So here comes the key question. Li Xuewu pointed it out to her and explained clearly the factory management committee's arrangements and directions for publicity work. What does this mean?
It's very simple. As the head of the publicity department, she basically doesn't have to worry about her position being adjusted during the factory's promotion and groupization process.
At the very least, when the company was incorporated into a group, he was also a deputy in the corporate publicity department, in charge of publishing business.
This is certainly a happy event. Many department-level cadres are running around like headless flies, trying to find things to do in various ways in order to make achievements.
The purpose is to keep up with the factory's progress in the process of upgrading and groupization.
Now Li Xuewu has given her the way forward and the direction, and she just needs to work hard and move forward.
What are you worried about?
Listen carefully, is Li Xuewu chatting with her about family matters?
Hongxing Factory has two opportunities in the next three years, one is promotion and the other is groupization.
Li Xuewu has made it clear the key to her future advancement, which is the factory's requirements for publicity work.
As long as she completes the construction of the literary and art publishing house's structure and the reform of the factory newspaper and other propaganda departments, she will be able to be promoted along with the factory based on this merit.
After completing the overall construction and improvement of the publishing house and promoting the influence of the Red Star Factory, she will have the opportunity to become the head of the company's publicity department.
How big this opportunity is depends entirely on how much influence the Propaganda Department and other units have on the Red Star Factory under her leadership.
If she can publicize the culture and advanced experience of Red Star Factory to the outside world and bring more potential value and commercial value, then she will be able to serve as a deputy.
If she can manage the publicity work of the joint unit, she will definitely be able to become the full-time employee.
Is it so easy to publicize to the outside world? Is it so simple to take down the publicity work of other units?
Not to mention the full-time position, even the deputy position is not easy to get. This idea must have been thought up by Li Xuewu.
The person who is best at motivating and mobilizing enthusiasm in the whole factory is Li Xuewu, an old painter, who is best at painting big pictures.
Of course, after hearing this, Bu Qingfang had no choice but to agree, otherwise she would not even have the chance to compete or work hard.
Li Xuewu also talked about his support for Bu Qingfang, not just in work.
Contacting the city’s cultural and real estate departments and acquiring the shut-down theater would be the most beneficial support for Bu Qingfang.
Continuously carrying out artistic performances and promoting the culture and experience of Red Star Factory through various art forms such as repertoires is an excellent means to expand influence.
That’s it, but what about the occupation of propaganda positions in other factories?
Li Xuewu also said that if the mountain doesn’t come to you, you should just go to the mountain with confidence.
In the name of a joint unit, we cooperated with newspapers and radio stations of brother factories, merging and assimilating each other through business capabilities, equipment levels, and development ideas.
Whether it is publishing a newspaper or setting up a propaganda team, it costs money and is an investment that cannot generate direct economic benefits.
Moreover, it is risky to carry out propaganda at this time, and we must be cautious in interpreting ideas and policies, as well as promoting work.
If after contact and cooperation, the Red Star Factory is willing to help them with publicity, the newspapers will report on their business, the propaganda team will come to the factory to perform, and the theaters and cinemas will be open to their employees.
On the basis of cooperation in the provision of tertiary welfare, will publicity work fail to break through these publicity barriers within three years?
You don’t need to offer much, just clench your fists and take down a few target factories first. Once they see the results, they will naturally take the initiative to propose it.
Li Xuewu made a special report on this matter to Li Huaide. After listening to his report, Li Huaide's attitude was firm.
Old Li said that we should not be afraid to spend money on publicity work and we should invest heavily in it. If we can accomplish it in three years, Red Star Factory will not lose money even if it spends one million.
It's not a loss at all. Everyone knows that spending one million to buy the right to speak in dozens of factories is not a loss.
By controlling the voices of these factories, the Red Star Factory had, to a certain extent, the voting rights of these factories.
The media of the publishing house will speak on behalf of these factories, and the influence will be huge.
It’s hard to say how powerful Lao Li, as the head of Red Star Factory, will be by then.
The thoughts and understanding within United Industries were unified, and it was natural for them to follow Li Huaide.
As long as he walks steadily, as long as he is fair and just, and as long as he leads everyone forward, his foundation will be very solid.
If anyone wants to plot against the Red Star Factory or Li Huaide again, they will have to think twice.
Damn it, one call and a hundred responses, dozens of key enterprises have spoken out, anyone who comes has to think carefully and seriously.
Otherwise, do you think Bu Qingfang would be troubled and worried? Li Huaide is willing to spend one million to enhance the influence of Red Star Factory?
After listening to what Li Xuewu said, Bu Qingfang felt that there was a reason for his rapid rise to prominence. With this kind of thinking and planning, if she were in Li Huaide's position, she would also make use of Li Xuewu.
-
In the afternoon, Li Xuewu led the propaganda and engineering departments of the Red Star Factory to inspect several theaters provided by the city.
Some are Peking Opera theaters left over from the Qing Dynasty, the kind with teahouses, and some are theaters and cinemas built in the 1920s and 1930s.
There are also theaters and new cinemas built in the 1940s and 1950s.
Each has its own advantages. The old buildings have average structures and average venues, but they are cheap. The new buildings have average locations and okay venues, but they are too expensive.
In addition to these professional theaters, Li Xuewu and his colleagues also visited the theaters and cinemas owned by the unit.
Due to changes in literary and artistic propaganda work, units are willing to divest these industries in exchange for more sufficient financial budgets.
Bu Qingfang talked about Li Xuewu's opinions along the way, and later also talked about the discoveries and investigations this time.
At the same time, the opinions of representatives from the Engineering Department and the Propaganda Team were also heard.
Zhou Miaomiao hopes for a theater with a larger stage and more seats, while Wang Yajuan says that continuous performances and publicity should focus more on quality.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if the theater is small, the performance teams can be dispersed, and the performances can be rotated to make it more fresh.
Of course, the fact that two people have completely opposite attitudes and opinions does not mean that what they say is contradictory.
In fact, it is because of different perspectives on the problem and different considerations.
Neither Li Xuewu nor Bu Qingfang commented on this.
The Engineering Department mainly examines the quality and maintenance costs of buildings, as well as the costs of renovation.
Some buildings have been vacant for a long time and need repair, while others do not meet the needs of performances and need to be renovated.
In the end, it was Li Xuewu who made the final decision. Taking everyone's opinions into consideration, he selected four medium-sized theaters from theaters whose building quality met the standard requirements according to the directions of the east, west, south, and north of the city.
Two cinemas were selected according to the directions of the east and west cities, and a large theater was selected in the city center, near the Red Star International Hotel.
I have to say, cultural fixed assets are so damn cheap nowadays!
After they came back, they also held a closed-door meeting. People from the Engineering Department said that the cost of renovation and maintenance would not be too high and would be within a controllable range.
The main reason is that the Red Star Factory is now engaged in large projects and large construction sites, so the workers and construction materials are readily available.
If you're talking about performance equipment and theater equipment, that's not very difficult.
As long as he has money, Li Xuewu can find a way to import it from abroad.
Li Xuewu asked Ji Weidong to order a batch of Western orchestras that Lao Li mentioned last time from Gangcheng.
Ji Weidong's original words were that Li Huaide was a toad and a frog.
There's no way. Lao Li's hobbies are actually very vulgar. He used to smoke, but now he has even quit smoking.
You said he likes girls, but Zhou Miaomiao is already in a relationship. How much productivity do you think he has left?
A few days ago, Yingcheng Shipbuilding submitted a report applying for cooperation with foreign businessmen to build yachts and engage in leasing business, and Li Huaide happily approved it.
You asked, if Mr. Li doesn’t dare to take the boat, why do we have to approve this document?
Which rich person in the world buys a plane and a yacht and lives on them every day?
Is the focus on planes and yachts?
Isn’t the point that he has a plane and a yacht?
Lao Li likes Western orchestras. Does he understand them or does he like the tune? Neither.
The fact that the Red Star Factory has a Western orchestra proves that it is quite capable in foreign trade work. We have all started to try out foreign trade!
In the future, when there are major events, we will invite foreign businessmen and mainland partners, and when the Western orchestra comes on stage, they will play "The Helmsman Depends on the Sea Sailing" and "Unity is Strength"... What do you think?
Even Ji Weidong felt that Lao Li was really arrogant after hearing this. He played really fancy games!
If Li Xuewu hadn't repeatedly assured that this idea was definitely not his, Ji Weidong would have suspected that Li Xuewu had done it on purpose to disgust foreigners.
It’s not because of anything else, it’s just because Li Xuewu is so damn mean. The news that he taught the cultural attaché of the French Foreign Affairs Embassy to swear in the streets has spread in the foreign affairs circle in Beijing.
"Oh, you mean the one from the Red Star Factory, the one that taught foreigners to curse?"
-
On Wednesday morning, Li Xuewu, on behalf of Red Star Factory, made a special visit to the Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Branch regarding the motorcycle distribution business.
The person who received him was Deputy Director Ma, who had just taken office. The two could be considered old friends and had an old relationship.
"Hahaha, I said that no one would come to see me for no reason. How could Deputy Director Li have the time to come and see me?"
"You criticize me—"
Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with Deputy Director Ma, and whispered, "Congratulations."
Deputy Director Ma smiled and raised his head without responding to the conversation, but he had already received Li Xuewu's congratulations.
Of course, it wasn’t something he had just received. It was the news of his progress that Shen Guodong sent to his home.
In the past two years, the relationship between Li Xuewu and him has developed very steadily. Although they seldom meet, their care and support for each other are absolute.
Deputy Director Ma also spared no effort in supporting Lao Biaozi, Shen Guodong and the recycling station.
With Wang Shuhua clearing the name of the recycling station in the street and Deputy Director Ma in charge of the business, who would dare to cause trouble for them?
Li Xuewu's repayment to his godmother is his family affection, and his repayment to Deputy Director Ma is real affection.
Lao Biaozi once made up his mind to sacrifice himself to repay Director Ma's support.
Of course, it was not promised to Director Ma, but to Director Ma’s daughter.
Director Ma was so frightened that he almost swore brotherhood with him on the spot, emphasizing that they had no grudge against each other. This frightened the pig, but he could not resist his little cabbage.
Let's not mention the festivals and holidays, that would be too vulgar. Shen Guodong is more honest than Lao Biaozi. He deals a lot with Deputy Director Ma and even more with his wife.
Don’t think in the wrong way. I must emphasize this point, otherwise you will start to make fun of me again!
Deputy Director Ma has his own aspirations, so he naturally would not take things home from the unit, so the nutritional supplements, seasonal vegetables, eggs and meat were all sent home by Shen Guodong.
Sometimes when Deputy Director Ma was at home, his wife would invite him to dinner and Shen Guodong would eat there openly, and they had a very good relationship.
So when Deputy Director Ma heard that Li Xuewu was coming to visit, he went downstairs to greet him in person.
The Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Branch is not very big. It only manages the supply and marketing business in Dongcheng, so it’s just so-so.
Listen to Li Xuewu's bragging, this half of East City is already very big. With this half, what else is missing?
"I've heard about it. Which model of motorcycle has rolled off the production line?"
Deputy Director Ma heard that Li Xuewu had quit smoking, so he was not polite when he let him in after entering the room.
The two of them were also very casual. Li Xuewu did not bring so many people with him. He traveled light and he also asked Li Xuewu to come to the office.
It is very convenient to discuss business with this kind of relationship as the two sides know each other very well.
"It has been offline for more than half a month, and the production capacity is still increasing."
Li Xuewu took the initiative to introduce: "We don't have any inventory at all. We sell it out on the same day. We can't even supply it in the Beijing area alone."
"Then why do you still want to open a store?"
Deputy Director Ma nodded at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "Just ship it directly from your factory, which will save costs and increase profits."
"You still criticize us."
Li Xuewu joked with a smile, and then explained: "We need to think long-term and also consider market share."
"This thing isn't high-tech. Maybe someone will follow suit and produce it in a year or two. As long as we sell it well, we'll be fine."
"Well, that's true——"
Deputy Director Ma took a puff of his cigarette, nodded and asked, "What's your factory's idea? Tell me about it. I want to hear it."
"It's very simple. Our factory is willing to cooperate with the supply and marketing company and sell goods to the Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative."
Li Xuewu explained: "At the same time, please coordinate and recommend the distribution of goods to Xicheng and other county supply and marketing branches."
“In particular, in order to build a motorcycle brand, we will select several suitable stores in Beijing and turn them into standard demonstration stores.”
"Wait, what does this standard demonstration store mean?"
Deputy Director Ma was a man of many tricks. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He pointed at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "You don't trust us, so what?"
“Two systems, two approaches.”
Li Xuewu did not deny this, but also pointed out that "we have no right to decide how to sell the goods sold to the supply and marketing company, but we must establish a brand image. This is the standard and concept of the Red Star Factory in serving the people."
The supply and marketing cooperatives sell motorcycles, so of course you need a ticket, and the service is also uneven. Li Xuewu experienced this deeply when he bought a bicycle.
He asked the supply and marketing company to provide procedures and support the Red Star Factory to open a standard demonstration store, in order to force the supply and marketing cooperative to improve its service quality.
Standard demonstration stores do not require tickets, but the prices are higher and the service is better, in order to ensure the sales volume of the supply and marketing cooperatives.
In principle, the products produced by the Red Star Factory can only be sold within the factory area, or sold in bulk from business to business.
Building terminals and opening stores in the city is not allowed because the supply and marketing system does not allow it.
You see, why is no one in charge of the franchise store behind the Wei San Regiment dormitory? Because the store is inside the compound and the supply and marketing company has no control over it.
Just like the service department within the Red Star Factory, this is an internal business of the factory.
Now, if you want to build a brand at the terminal, occupy the market and create an effect, you must obtain the permission and support of the supply and marketing company.
So now you understand why Li Xuewu came to discuss cooperation, actively provided real estate, and cooperated to build a brand standard demonstration store.
