Dong Wenxue carefully studied the work report submitted to him by Li Xuewu, which was quite precise and clear about the future development and positioning of the steelmaking plant.

In the future, steelmaking plants will become small-scale enterprises that follow the precision manufacturing route, gradually abandoning the old baggage of large-scale steelmaking and taking a new development route.

When it comes to steel, the steelmaking plant is located in a steel city, and the most indispensable thing here is steel.

A large part of the raw materials required by the steel rolling mill are directly transported from the steel mill, while unplanned production materials are purchased from the Steel City Steel Mill.

Li Xuewu concluded that future steel output will increase year by year with the development of industrialization, and the output and consumption of steel rolling mills will not have to worry about insufficient raw materials.

Even when there is a shortage of materials, it is still supported by the old foundation of the steelmaking plant and the main artery will not be broken.

The steel rolling mill is large and slow in transformation, so we can only let the steel mill go around and give it a try first.

Dong Wenxu also expressed this determination of pioneering consciousness in his report to the steel rolling mill.

"Female products and smithing supplies will be in great demand in the future."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The improvement of comprehensive strength will inevitably bring about the overall improvement of protective strength. Naturally, the weapons currently owned cannot meet the changing times. Updating equipment must be a trend."

"I understand this"

Dong Wenxue asked: "Firearms are not easy to produce and operate, and their upgrading will inevitably bring risks to the company. Besides, we don't have too many gun factories."

“So we must emphasize the key products”

Li Xuewu clicked on the armrest of the sofa and said: "Daggers, lunch boxes, helmets, body armor, engineer shovels, etc., all require special alloys, and we are in the metallurgy industry. Isn't this our original profession!"

"Haha, it's not as simple as you think?"

Dong Wenxue chuckled lightly, and then said: "Our people are all production workers, but we do not have the development capabilities in this area."

"Just because we don't have it, it doesn't mean we have to develop it ourselves."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "And even if we develop it ourselves, can we really not find the manpower?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and went to pick up the tea cup and reminded him softly: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces. You must pay attention to the introduction of talents."

"Hahaha~"

Listening to Li Xuewu's teasing, Dong Wenxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, nodded at his student, and said: "I think ten thousand years is too long for you, so you only seize the day."

"Ten thousand years? One year is too long for me."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "Don't think that you have taken a big step. Look at Lao Xia from the design department. He has already started researching the engine!"

"That's right!"

Dong Wenxu heard this news for the first time and said in surprise: "With the technical reserves of our factory, do we dare to study engines?"

"Hey, as bold as a man is, so rich is the land."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Your metallurgical project has to accelerate its development. Engines require alloy technology the most. Once Lao Xia's engine technology is settled, it will be time for the steelmaking plant to put its efforts into action."

"This is a development direction"

Dong Wenxue nodded and said: "You asked me to change my strategy, learn advanced technology and ideas, pursue alloy smelting, take the route of precision craftsmanship, and add a small commodity factory to supply blood. Is it actually for the future big projects of the steel rolling mill?"

"Who said that?"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The profit value of small commodities may be higher than the value of large projects. Some people can afford nail clippers for one yuan, but not everyone can afford a car for ten thousand yuan."

"And selling 10,000 nail clippers is not much more labor-intensive than selling a car? Maybe the profit will be higher!"

"Hahaha! I think you should be transferred to the sales office."

Dong Wenxue smiled and asked again: "Now that the wool issue has been resolved, what are the factory's plans for the future? Are you really going to be asked to join the committee?"

"Do you really believe him?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Dong Wexue with squinted eyes, sneered, and said: "Don't say Yang Fengshan is unwilling, even Yang Yuansong will object."

"I've heard some rumors."

Dong Wenxue nodded and said: "There is news that Yang Yuansong discussed this issue in the internal conference room. The specific situation is not known. Gu Weijie should know."

"I won't ask her if it's clear."

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea and said: "Besides, I can guess it without asking. Secretary Yang is playing this game and weighing the pros and cons."

"He can't see the situation clearly."

Dong Wexue also said calmly: "Under this situation, if we simply use suppression as a means, I am afraid that not only will we create conflicts on the side of the committee, but we will not get any benefits from Yang Fengshan and Li Huaide."

"He is the squad leader, so he naturally has his own theory."

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly: "I'm afraid it will be too late by the time he sees it clearly."

"Well, it's very possible."

Dong Wenxue nodded and said: "There is a high possibility of this kind of loss of control, especially at present, the situation of the working group of the Iron and Steel Institute is likely to extend to the steel rolling mill."

"This is an inevitable stage"

Li Xuewu put down his teacup and said: "Which operation in the past few years did not have a working group? I think the steel rolling mill will eventually break away from Yang Yuansong's control after the debate."

"What a troubled time~"

------------------

Li Xuewu chatted in Dong Wenxu's office until after get off work.

He declined the teacher's invitation, saying he had other things to do tonight.

Dong Wenxue knew that Li Xuewu had private matters in Steel City, so he did not force him and asked his driver to drive Li Xuewu away.

Li Xuewu also made an appointment to take the train back to the capital on the morning of the 7th, so he also asked the driver to pick him up tomorrow morning.

Instead of going back with Ji Weidong and others, in addition to talking to Dong Wenxue, Li Xuewu also wanted to meet Wen San'er and others.

Guanshan Road, Zhou Yamei's house.

Seeing Li Xuewu get out of the car, Fu Zhidong ran out of the door holding the toys in his hands.

"Uncle~"

"Haha, I ran one second slower today than yesterday."

Li Xuewu smiled and rubbed his godson's face with his hand, and asked with a smile: "Is dinner ready?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Not yet~"

Fu Zhidong trotted beside Li Xuewu like a follower, chattering about what happened at home today.

"Mom is still cleaning up today, and I can continue going to school."

"Yeah"

Li Xuewu opened the door and let his godson go in first. Then while changing his shoes, he asked: "How do you feel about returning to the original kindergarten?"

"Hmm... not bad~"

Fu Zhidong jumped up the stairs and stood at the same level as Li Xuewu. He thought for a while and said, "That's right, there is no Yanni here."

"You are quite nostalgic"

Li Xuewu smiled, walked to the living room, looked at Wen San'er sitting on the sofa, and said, "Talked to the literature secretary for a while."

"It's okay. I'll be okay tonight. It's okay if I come early."

When Wen Saner saw Li Xuewu coming in, he stood up, but was waved by Li Xuewu to sit down.

Li Xuewu didn't feel strange or constrained here, he felt like he was at home.

He placed his handbag on the fireplace table, unbuttoned his shirt and asked Wen San'er, "Why didn't you bring Third Aunt and Xinmin?"

“It’s late at night, so it’s not convenient to go back and forth.”

Wen San'er scratched his head with his little finger. He and Zhou Yamei hadn't seen each other much, it was just the "cooperation" last time.

He had never been here often. He didn't expect Zhou Yamei's family to be so rich, or that Li Xuewu had settled here.

Judging from Li Xuewu's posture, he is very familiar with this place, including the child. He would not dare to bring his wife and children over and say the wrong thing again.

Li Xuewu could also see that Wen San'er was cautious and uncomfortable, which was different from when he was in the capital.

"Smoking?"

"No"

Wen San'er waved his hand and smiled, and said: "Your third aunt won't let me smoke either. She said that smoking is bad for the lungs. I don't know where she heard it. Your old lady has been smoking all her life and she hasn't seen anything bad."

.

"hehe"

Li Xuewu chuckled. There was really no way to explain this to Wen Saner.

This thing can't be explained. There is an old lady in her nineties sitting cross-legged on the kang and smoking a big pipe.

Okay, even if you don't smoke, you can't survive her. You have to ask how long you've been smoking. You've been smoking since you were a child and you were a girl.

"It's better to smoke less. My throat is uncomfortable and it's easy to get angry."

Li Xuewu threw the cigarette case and lighter in his hand on the coffee table, gestured to the people upstairs, and said: "I'm going to take a bath and change clothes. You sit down first, don't be formal."

"Go quickly, it's been a tiring day"

Wen San'er responded with a smile: "I won't leave until I'm full."

Li Xuewu smiled and said nothing more. He pulled his godson with his hand and said, "Let's chat with my third uncle and grandpa~"

"Okay~"

Fu Zhidong stood next to Li Xuewu and looked at Wen San'er, who was not a stranger, and responded.

Li Xuewu went upstairs to the kitchen, told Zhou Yamei who was busy at work to add two more dishes, and then went upstairs.

Wen San'er looked at Li Xuewu who was going upstairs, then looked at the direction of the kitchen, and then looked at the child who was sitting on the sofa looking at her.

The last time I saw him, he was busy with tasks and didn't have time to pay attention. He didn't say anything.

This time Li Xuewu decided, hey, third uncle and grandpa.
