Lao Biaozi and Mai Qinglan left the capital on Monday and headed north. Mai's father and mother did not accompany them.
Maybe it’s because I’m worried about the living environment in Northeast China, or maybe I’m still harboring illusions about the current changes in the situation in Beijing.
Li Xuewu did not go to the station to see him off because of his busy work schedule.
However, when Shen Guodong came back and told him, Lao Biaozi left very freely, without any sadness or grievance that night.
It seems that he has forgotten his tears after drinking and his mantra after drinking, and nothing has happened.
In fact, men are like this. No matter how much pain and hardship they face, after a drunken moment and a little indulgence, they will quietly pack their bags and run towards the future and the distance.
This time he did not pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He told Shen Guodong to take good care of them and invited several people who were seeing him off to visit him in the Northeast.
Shen Guodong felt uncomfortable when his children, who had grown up relying on each other and supporting each other, moved away one by one.
Especially when I saw the letters sent back from my third uncle and my second son from Hong Kong City, they were full of longing and yearning.
This may be the choices and tribulations that people have to face in adulthood.
After all, it is a journey through mountains and rivers, testing one's longing for hometown and relatives, as well as the feelings and long-cherished wishes between each other.
Li Xuewu was not deliberately avoiding the pain of separation, but he was really busy.
At the foreign trade briefing meeting held last week, Li Huaide was very aggressive. At the meeting, he first emphasized the policies he had solicited from his superiors, and then began to assign work internally.
It seems that units like the Foreign Affairs Office are naturally out of his sight. When Lao Li assigns work, he directly responds to the deputy director.
Of course, Li Xuewu, the deputy director, is also the deputy director and takes on part of the work at a super high level.
At the meeting, Li Huaide listened to reports from Jing Yunong and Gu Weijie on the direction and progress of the negotiations.
Jing Yunong then explained the adjustment plan for negotiation and cooperation methods.
He did not ask for too much discussion on this change, but said what he often said, whether it is a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out.
There is no need to discuss whether this change of plan is correct. After all, Jing Yunong is the deputy director in charge of economic work.
She has always been in charge of negotiations and has enough insights and ideas about economic work. If she doesn't try her plan, is it possible for Lao Li to just imagine it out of thin air?
If these foreign businessmen really like singing and dancing, they may also be able to use their strengths.
But when it comes to foreign cooperation, Lao Li doesn't dare to act haphazardly. If the whole thing breaks up, it will be an international joke.
As soon as he went to work on Monday, Li Xuewu coordinated with people from several departments and began to arrange the venue and subsequent contacts and negotiations.
At 9:30 a.m., arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles entered the steel rolling mill site under the protection of a security vehicle sent by the steel rolling mill.
Guided by the Foreign Affairs Office, the convoy visited the factory area before arriving at the factory guesthouse compound.
Today, the guest house compound was tightly guarded by the security team for one goal only, which was to successfully complete the foreign trade and commercial negotiation meeting.
The duration of the meeting is still uncertain, but several foreign businessmen interested in further contact with the steel rolling mill were invited to live in the guest house.
The service personnel and security personnel here have been screened and temporarily trained, and they are also mixed with personnel from the Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department.
Among the foreign businessmen we hosted today were Andrew, an Italian businessman who has already reached and started cooperation, and Erika Momotani, a Japanese businessman representative.
When the motorcade arrived in front of the guest house, accompanied by Li Xuewu, several leaders of the steel rolling mill were already standing in front of the door.
Including Li Huaide, who was dressed in a strict black woolen jacket, wearing the same style as Li Xuewu, which highlighted the collar of his white shirt.
Not only he is like this, but other leaders and cadres in the steel rolling mill also dress in this way.
The colors may be a little different, but they are all dark colors, and they look very aura when standing together.
The dressing styles of Jing Yunong and Gu Weijie are different from gay men. They use narrow collars as the main design style and refer to the style of slim suits.
The No. 1 Prison Station became the designated supplier of clothing for leading cadres of the steel rolling mill. Tailor Li came to give the measurements and styles.
At least cadres at the deputy director level or above will not miss this outfit, and no one will miss such work uniform customization work.
This is what foreign businessmen saw when they got off the bus today.
Dressed in black with a hint of white, and a little red among the flowers, the red ones are the two female leaders, whom they have met many times.
Of course, no introduction is needed to know that the steel rolling mill sent out all the supervisors today, and the pressure on them has increased.
The sunshine at the end of February is just right, and it is warm and warm. It really means that the spring breeze is coming and everything on the earth is reviving.
Reporters from the factory management committee office and the factory newspaper were taking photos with their cameras.
Especially when the Italian businessman Negisi, the leader of the business tour group, shook hands with Li Huaide, the director of the steel rolling mill management committee, the flashlights flashed frequently to witness this critical moment.
"Hello, Mr. Li"
"Hello, Mr. Negis, welcome to the steel rolling mill."
Click! Click! Click!
…
The greetings in front of the door were very lively, and the factory leaders headed by Li Huaide shook hands with foreign businessmen in order.
Each leader has a corresponding translator and reporters following him.
Li Xuewu did not go up to join in the fun, but stood aside and followed the proceedings of the meeting.
Just after the two parties exchanged greetings, a welcome team composed of guest house waiters lined up on one side to welcome the foreign business representatives.
All service personnel wore blue overalls and faced the upcoming battle with the best spirit.
Of course it is a battle. For the steel rolling mill, it is a battle related to future development. For the factory leaders, it is a battle related to future progress.
But for them, this is related to whether the guest house can maintain its brand name and achieve the same status as having an international hotel outside and a steel mill hospitality inside.
Wherever there are people, there will be a world. Where there are equal scopes of work, there will be comparison and competition.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The steel rolling mill has two reception venues, one is the guest house located inside the steel rolling mill, and the other is the International Hotel in the city.
The International Hotel has attracted all the attention and support from the factory leaders since its establishment. In contrast, the guesthouse lags behind in terms of service facilities.
You can see that Qin Huairu's cultural level is not very high, but she is definitely a strong person.
The service and management personnel of international hotels are diverted and trained from the guest house. Even the vice president of the hotel is the original deputy director of the guest house.
Can she teach her apprentice to starve her master to death?
Of course, we have to compete for the attention of leaders, the trust of employees, the standards of service, and the popularity of hospitality work.
Every hospitality mission is a battlefield for their competition and an opportunity for comparison.
Qin Huairu and Zhang Songying have no conflicts or differences, but this does not prevent them from leading their respective teams to compete for the first place.
Both sides will see who is the trump card in service work and hospitality work in the factory.
After receiving the notice from the External Reception Office, Qin Huairu took action and did not rest throughout the weekend.
Qin Jingru wanted to go home and asked her if she would go back together because there would be a convenient car, but she gave up.
I can return home anytime, but the opportunity to work doesn't come often.
On the one hand, employees are arranged to carry out general cleaning, clean up dead spots, and improve service quality.
On the one hand, it is necessary to strictly check the kitchen dishes and supplies to ensure food hygiene standards.
The last step is to carry out a series of language preparation work in order to receive foreign businessmen.
You have to say that it is impossible for service staff to learn a foreign language in two days.
But I can still remember basic foreign languages, nod yes and shake no, come and e and go. As long as you can gesture, anyone can provide basic services.
The key is not to talk, but to prepare materials. Qin Huairu has put a lot of effort into this aspect.
All functional rooms or equipment, such as restaurants, restrooms, conference rooms, etc., were marked with multi-language information at her request from the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office.
This trick really solves the big problem of service guidance. Even if there is a translator to follow, there are still many places that cannot be found at the moment.
Qin Huairu knew that Li Xuewu once told her that success or failure is determined by details, and that with her knowledge and ability, she could not achieve any earth-shattering work results.
But as long as you do every little thing with your heart, pay close attention to the details, and grasp the fundamentals, you can still achieve results.
The work in the factory not only requires young officers who make rapid progress, but also cadres who work steadily and step by step.
This is especially true when providing services. As long as people provide services and people are served, there will be emotional feelings and value.
A very simple line-up to welcome, and uniform greetings and greetings can immediately improve the overall service level.
Don't reach out to hit someone with a smiling face, let alone doing business. If you see people smile, you will receive good and considerate service.
Of course, service staff are not required to use a formulaic smile to meet service standards, but rather a service-oriented smile from the heart.
It's very simple. The guest house of the steel rolling mill will not engage in any crazy behavior such as biting chopsticks. This is not training employees, but training animals.
There are so many bells and whistles, and the salary is 3,500, and even having enough to eat is a problem. The more you laugh, the uglier you look.
The benefits are kept up and the salary level is fair. As long as it is required by the service, everyone can laugh.
You can still smile even when talking to neighbors, let alone guests.
Active laughter and passive laughter are completely different concepts, and they are also ways of coping in different situations.
When international hotels entertain foreign businessmen, the problem of tipping has already arisen.
The Foreign Affairs Office reported to Li Xuewu when handling this matter.
Li Xuewu's opinion is that the tip is not small, but it is not big either.
This is a kind of recognition of service personnel by foreign businessmen, and it is also their habit of living abroad.
On the premise of fully respecting the other party's living habits, the service staff can accept the tip and praise given by the other party.
However, tips cannot become the personal property of employees, let alone excessive or deviated service due to earning tips.
According to the service standards, all tips should be handed over to the hotel's financial management, and based on monthly accounting and summary, they should be distributed to the service staff on duty in the form of special allowances.
In other words, after the waiter receives the tip, he must distribute it equally to the team members of this class and this group.
Under the current management system, especially under economic constraints, economic management is a big problem.
In fact, many external reception places will accept tips, but it is all handled by the unit.
Li Xuewu has a different opinion. He will not use the tips earned by waiters to supplement the factory's funds.
The national conditions and social environment are different. He prefers that service personnel work as a team rather than highlighting any one individual.
The service staff at the International Hotel had no complaints or complaints about this issue. The money was originally earned from their labor.
The factory gave them all the discounts without deducting a penny, which was an unexpected surprise.
Everyone also agrees with the requirement of equal division within the group.
The service process cannot be completed by one person. After all, the waiter cannot do the dishes.
This kind of requirement also exists abroad. While waitresses in restaurants earn tips, they also have to share part of the profits with their colleagues in the kitchen.
Tipping is a small thing but not something to be underestimated.
Just as the steel rolling mill does not ignore the hospitality attitude towards foreign businessmen, it just proves that the factory attaches great importance to foreign trade.
The business symposium officially started at ten o'clock, hosted by Jing Yunong, and Li Huaide delivered a welcome speech and keynote speech.
Participating in the symposium were French businessman Chantal, British businessman Smith Packer, Kuwaiti businessman Mohamed Att, Italian businessman Negishi, Yemeni businessman Mohamed Ali Abadi, and Hong Kong businessman Nand.
Other foreign investors include Italian businessman Andrew and Japanese businessman Erika Momotani.
At the symposium, Li Huaide elaborated on the form and significance of further business negotiations, and also put forward his vision and hope for the business talks to be held in the next week.
At the symposium, the steel rolling mill formally presented industrial projects including hardware, shipbuilding, milling, building materials, steel rolling, food, automobiles, etc. to the foreign investors attending the meeting.
All product data and picture displays were made into a sample book and distributed to foreign businessmen.
It is easy to adapt to reading in different languages.
Similar to the meticulous preparations for the guest house, the Foreign Affairs Office and the commissioning office are also fully prepared for this meeting.
Li Xuewu, as the foreign trade coordination director, explained the investment and development of the steel rolling mill in related projects.
Chief Engineer Xia Zhongquan conducted a horizontal comparison and evaluation of domestic and foreign advanced products for each project's flagship products.
Finally, Jing Yunong elaborated on each project and product sales cooperation requirements.
Especially in terms of cooperation form and credit guarantee, the asset certificate issued by Oriental Times Bank is a prerequisite, and a credit guarantee report jointly issued by United Industries is also provided.
Attached are information materials from Hong Kong City Ng Fong Bank and a credit guarantee certificate issued by Oriental Times Bank as the fund remitter.
The foreign businessmen present saw such sincerity shown by the steel rolling mill, and even considered their concerns clearly, and were full of hope and confidence in the subsequent negotiations.
In fact, these six foreign businessmen were also thinking that if the steel rolling mill had taken out these things long ago, they would definitely not be the only ones negotiating today.
But it is precisely because of this that they have the desire and trust in further negotiations with the steel rolling mill to reap this rich fruit.
After this round of negotiations, they knew that the steel rolling mill's guarantee would definitely be known to others.
But the top priority item selection has been controlled by them. Who can not be excited when they eat the fattest piece of meat?
No matter how well concealed this emotional change is, it will still be expressed in words.
Jing Yunong and Gu Weijie looked at each other, and invariably looked at Li Xuewu, who was as shrewd as a monkey.
Giving foreign businessmen a negotiating advantage, creating differences in the negotiation sequence, and guiding foreign businessmen to proactively negotiate and communicate was precisely the shrewdness of Li Xuewu, who decided to negotiate hospitality in batches.
Putting the right of choice in the hands of foreign businessmen does not necessarily allow the other party to take the initiative. Instead, it gives the other party the power to negotiate.
The representatives of the six parties present must be anxious to start negotiations, staring at the samples in their hands, trying to quickly select the fattest piece of meat.
They arrived at the steel rolling mill and were invited to participate in the first negotiation meetings to let the other foreign businessmen who were still staying in the International Hotel think.
You ate first, so what else should we eat?
This trick of dividing and transforming is not a strange trick among the Thirty-Six Strategies, even children can understand it.
But as long as it is used correctly, no matter how old you are, you have to obey it. This is a conspiracy.
Why do representatives from the six parties involved in the first phase of negotiations know that this bank guarantee will not be kept secret for long?
Of course they knew that since the steel rolling mill invited them to come to the mainland, the more cooperation the better.
As long as everyone applies for cooperation, the steel rolling mill will be willing to negotiate with them.
No one turns away customers.
So they may be the first business negotiators to see this guarantee, but it will definitely not be the last.
This is a little whip, reminding them that the negotiations cannot be completed within a week, and these projects and guarantee information will be spread to the International Hotel at any time.
At that time, they will form a competitive relationship with their counterparts staying in international hotels.
What's special is that they are currently living in the guest house of the steel rolling mill, and the other party is staying in the International Hotel, with no communication channels at all.
The only option is to passively negotiate with the steel rolling mills, or actively give up this forced competitive relationship.
If they don't see the samples in their hands, they will really get angry. After all, they are foreign businessmen and have more choices.
But now the sample in my hand weighs more than a thousand pieces of gold. It is really as heavy as a thousand kilograms of gold.
Of course, this is talking about profits, the profits that can be earned after cooperating with the steel rolling mill and continuing the cooperation.
The steel rolling mill frankly marked the required equipment and technology in the sample collection, as well as the current development level of the mainland, as well as the development advantages of the steel rolling mill itself.
It clearly stated the negotiation conditions for equipment, technology and orders.
As for the cooperation methods, these can be discussed, including Andrew's commissioned production, Japanese merchants' compensation for foreign trade, and Hong Kong City Ng Fung Hong's capital injection cooperation. There are various forms and options.
The premise is to ensure the operating advantages of the steel rolling mill, and more importantly, to ensure that the steel rolling mill has absolute trade initiative in the development process.
In other words, equipment and technology must be labeled and negotiated as valuable products, and the products must be used for compensation or distribution and sales during the cooperation period.
And if the steel rolling mill needs to end the cooperation early, it only needs to compensate the corresponding remaining amount.
Of course, this includes secondary investment in equipment and technology, and both parties have equal opportunities.
What's the meaning?
During the construction and production process of the factory, if equipment upgrades and technology upgrades are required in response to the development of the times, it is considered an iterative update.
If the technological development far exceeds the technical application limited by production costs, the other party will need to continue to provide equivalent equipment and technical supplements, otherwise the value of the backward equipment and technology will be discounted.
This negotiation item will serve as a restriction for the partner’s unreserved technical investment, and it is also a fair and reasonable cooperation plan.
Of course, if the steel rolling mill itself possesses more advanced technology or equipment and replaces that provided by the other party, then the residual value of the corresponding mechanical equipment and technology will be discounted.
The advanced technology we have exceeds the equipment technology you can provide, so why should we waste money?
As a priority partner, we should always take the initiative in technology and equipment, and we should also master the advancement of product development and production.
After all, these things are going to be sold abroad. You just ship a few ships of broken machines and put them here for us to produce. The products have no competitive advantage and it's not okay to just make hard-earned money.
It is impossible to say that in a few years there will be no sales for these products, and we will still owe you money, and we will eventually go bankrupt.
Do you think foreign businessmen have never used this method before?
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were a lot of fools who fooled those stupid people who thought that all steel and machinery were the same and bought them with their eyes closed.
Even in later generations, some units were deceived, and the dumb ones suffered a lot.
Whoever suffers a loss and is deceived by Li Xuewu will not fall into this trap. He has always deceived others, and there is absolutely no reason to be deceived by others.
It's not that I can't afford to lose the money, but I can't afford to lose this person.
If you look at the business warning books, the manufacturers named are so embarrassed that they will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of their lives.
Look at that so-and-so, when he was in charge of a certain unit, he was cheated when cooperating with foreign businessmen and cried for his father...
It sounds shabby, let alone written down in a book.
The new negotiation method and cooperation terms are more like a gambling agreement. As long as foreign businessmen can continue to provide advanced technological advantages and equipment, they can complete the suppression of mainland factories and the advantage of purchasing goods.
If the technology leadership is obvious and the equipment technology is high-end to a certain extent, you can even have this low-cost production base forever.
Even if they lose the bet, they will only make less money and will not lose money. For them, what could be more sincere and secure than this cooperation?
Seeing the foreign business representatives holding the documents in their hands and saying nothing, Li Huaide also noticed their intentions.
He announced the end of the meeting very directly and asked the delegates to take a short break. A welcome luncheon was already prepared in the reception room on the first floor.
According to the meeting negotiation schedule, there will be a one-and-a-half-hour break after the luncheon, and the first round of negotiations will officially begin at two o'clock.
From receiving the sample materials to the first round of project selection and negotiation, the steel rolling mill only left foreign investors one noon.
These foreign businessmen basically bring only a security consultant and a secretary to the mainland.
Now they have to read these documents urgently, which is really a test for them.
The fat meat is among a bunch of lean meat. Let's see who can choose the one that suits you first and the one you need.
What if two foreign investors choose the same project?
This is a good thing!
Think about it, isn’t this the kind of competitive relationship that steel rolling mills want to see?
Only with competition can there be value in negotiation, and only with competition can there be a need for comparison.
The leaders of the steel rolling mill are very discerning and know that these foreign businessmen cannot have lunch and are not in the mood to eat.
Of course, there is no need for them to accompany me, let alone other people to interfere.
Therefore, Li Xuewu, deputy director of the Administrative Committee Office, was appointed by the Administrative Committee to stay in the guest house as the hospitality representative, while other leaders went to the small canteen to eat together.
Li Xuewu did not make excessive welcome greetings after welcoming them to the restaurant on the first floor.
Just say "eat well, drink well, drink well, eat well" and that's it.
The other six foreign business representatives liked Li Xuewu's opening speech at the banquet very much, and they all laughed and read the documents while eating.
Andrew's coming along this time was not a mere appearance or decoration, he also wanted to lend a hand.
There are indeed projects in the steel rolling mill that he is interested in, and he can deepen cooperation and expand operations.
Even if it is inconvenient to invest or does not have the corresponding resources, he can still join the partnership in the form of capital investment.
Economic cooperation has risks, and risk sharing is an appropriate business method.
On the contrary, Erika Momotani, the representative of Nissho United Co., Ltd., did not look at the samples, but sat next to Li Xuewu and started chatting.
You have to say that when Xiao Gui Si speaks Chinese, he always speaks in a left-wing way, and Li Xuewu doesn't understand why.
Of course, there are people who say it well in Chinese, and it doesn’t sound like a person who knows the current affairs is a hero.
For example, Erika Momotani took the initiative to chat with him.
"Li Jun, it's such an honor to meet you again."
She bowed slightly and greeted with a smile: "I didn't have a great time discussing with you last time at the International Hotel. I hope I'll have the opportunity to ask you out again."
"..."
Li Xuewu thought about it with some hesitation. She was talking about playing billiards, not the kind of "comparison" that readers thought, right?
"How is Miss Momotani's life in the capital?"
He put a piece of beef on the plate and chopped it up with a knife and fork, swapping it with the beef in front of Erika.
"Thank you Mr. Li, you are a gentleman"
Erika Momotani thanked him politely, and then took the initiative to introduce: "Actually, it's a bit boring."
"oh?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "The representative of your country's office in Beijing has also contacted you, right? Don't you have any private contacts?"
“Yes, but it’s boring”
Momotani Erika stabbed a piece of steak elegantly with a fork, and put it into her mouth with a hint of temptation. After eating, she continued to answer: "Do you know anything about the men in our country?"
She raised her eyes and explained: "It's just about life and habits."
"Does what you learn from war documents count?"
Li Xuewu looked at her a little apologetically and said, "Please forgive me for being rude. The education and training I have experienced have required understanding in this area."
"Of course, of course I understand"
Erika Momotani nodded seriously and said: "I firmly oppose any acts of aggression or war, and I deeply apologize for being a latecomer to that period of history."
"Actually, it's not necessary. If you haven't participated in that period of history, you just need to face it squarely."
Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I am not qualified to forgive anyone on behalf of the dead compatriots."
"But these are outside of today's topic."
He spread his hands and said: "Actually, I yearn for peace more, and I believe you do the same."
"We are now having equal and normal economic exchanges. I am also willing to make friends with you. I believe what you say."
"Thank you, Li Jun. Really, you are a gentleman and a hero with independent thinking."
Erika Momotani praised her very seriously, then bowed slightly and said, "I haven't thanked you for your hospitality yet."
“That’s right, everyone who comes is a guest.”
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, took a piece of matsutake and put it on the other party's plate, indicating: "You can try this flavor."
“Yes, I like eating very much”
Erika Momotani squinted her eyes slightly and smiled, then nodded and said: "I have actually eaten it in Yuben, and it tastes like this."
"Well, it is an export product and is difficult to buy in the market."
Li Xuewu explained: "Our country is still very backward and poor now, so we will use some natural resources in exchange for needed development capabilities, such as machinery and equipment, or technology."
"I understand what you mean, this is the basis of our cooperation"
Erika Momotani bowed and said: "I'm sorry, but the three presidents have actually made explanations. Regarding your appeals and requests, I will pass the information to them as soon as possible."
"Don't be so polite, it's a form of cooperation."
Li Xuewu helped her pick out a few more light and delicious side dishes, and at the same time introduced the ingredients of the dishes, and continued to deal with her.
Erika Momotani looks very polite, with the temperament of an office girl, but more of the courage and perseverance to stay abroad.
This may be related to the need for work and productivity in today's Japanese society. After all, so many men have died, and many women have to pay off their debts to their ugly fathers.
The placement of such an elite in the country by a Japanese businessman fully represents that she is capable and prepared.
It's hard to say whether Li Xuewu has any intention of bringing glory to the country. He doesn't like exchanges that are overly purposeful.
Even if the relationship with Jing Yunong requires further communication, it will be a matter of course.
It's hard for Li Xuewu to guess whether Momotani Erika means this, but based on his guess, it's nine out of ten.
------------------
Negotiations in the afternoon are conducted in groups. Each factory leader will lead a negotiation team composed of multiple departments to communicate and negotiate with foreign businessmen.
The Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee has a total of five business leaders in Beijing, and Li Xuewu is also included in the first team of supervisors to participate in business negotiations.
Foreign businessmen have just learned about product samples and negotiation methods in detail, but factory leaders and negotiation teams have already been prepared.
So this is an interactive negotiation that is not very reciprocal, at least in terms of information.
Of course, it is impossible to reach an agreement on the first day of negotiations, and foreign businessmen still have time to understand and communicate.
Li Xuewu is in charge of the metalworking and automobile industries, which are very difficult foreign trade projects and even have many restrictions.
Basically hardware, electronics, food and other industrial products are handed over to other leaders who have poor understanding of business and trade.
He is the person in charge of foreign trade coordination, so of course he has to shoulder the most arduous and difficult part.
In other words, for items such as hardware, if a steamed bun can tie up a dog, how can he still be used?
The metallurgy industry and the automobile industry are still unpopular projects in the international market and are not easy to develop.
The No. 17 Factory did sell some large trucks, but because the quality was unstable and required multiple repairs, it did not open up the market.
Someone asked, if the No. 17 factory does not have the opportunity or ability to open up the automobile export market, why can the steel rolling mill have one?
It's very simple. A large truck costs 36,000 yuan, but how many Red Star Antelopes can be bought with 36,000 yuan?
If Li Xuewu wants to sell a car, can he simply sell the car?
Don’t bring any feelings or anything like that!
Do you know where the foreign businessmen came from who came to Li Xuewu to discuss cooperation?
Say it and I'll make you hungry, Kuwait.
Anyone with a certain understanding of international energy history in this place will know that they are so poor that they have so much money left.
It was originally an emirate, wearing tattered animal skins and no one cared about it. The borderline was too much. Contact was basically by shouting, and going out was basically by walking. A wealthy family might have a camel, and that was the top rich man in the village.
But who discovered oil at home? It was a large oil field with the largest reserves in the world.
What is the current GDP per capita?
Li Xuewu doesn't know either, but he knows the approximate per capita income level around him.
Between fifty and sixty yuan is considered the normal income level for people in the capital. This has to be compared with those who have jobs and work seriously.
But do you know what the per capita annual income in Kuwait is now?
Twenty thousand, Dao Le.
In other words, the annual income of a random person is equivalent to the annual income of dozens of mature workers in Beijing.
This is not comparable at all, let alone comparative.
At first, Li Xuewu really thought that the Kuwaiti businessman named Mohammad Att came here for the Red Star Antelope, but he did not expect that he came here for the rhinestone products.
"Well...have you done any research on our products before?"
"I know something about it"
Art nodded seriously. He could see Li Xuewu's suspicion and explained: "I more agree with the needs of your Type 56 in the international market. It is a good weapon."
"...Indeed, I have to admit it"
Li Xuewu looked at him for a moment, nodded at the strange expressions of the negotiating team around him and said: "But we do not produce Type 56 semi-automatic rifles."
"This requires a production license. Our factory is just a technical extension and cooperates with the Light Weapons Research Institute to produce a high-precision sniper rifle."
He opened the collection to the last position and showed him a paragraph of text.
Art spread his hands and did not read the text, but said with some regret: "Actually, I also discovered it, but I still want to try it."
"You want the fifth and sixth forms?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "I can help you with this matter, but only if you spend some time with me and go somewhere with me."
"Where? Can I go?"
Art was very impressed by the visiting regulations here. Basically, as long as it was a place he applied to go to, he would definitely not be able to go.
Now Li Xuewu mentioned taking him out, which aroused his interest.
Li Xuewu didn't explain too much. He first went out to make a phone call, and then took Art and the foreign affairs staff downstairs.
Art had to take a car provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Li Xuewu did not get in his car, but got into his own command car.
A convoy of three vehicles left the factory gate and headed straight into the city.
The convoy turned around the streets and finally drove into a compound. On the gate of the compound was written "The Third Regiment of the Garrison Area"...
"?long"
Xiao Gao had been waiting in the parking lot for a long time, followed by several clerks.
When Art got out of the car, he knew where he was being taken.
Looking at the Five and Six Styles in the hands of the guards, the serious atmosphere in the compound, and the shouts and shouts on the training ground, he obeyed the arrangements seriously and followed the team to the training ground.
Li Xuewu did not lead him inside. At a shooting training ground, several researchers from the Light Weapon Research Institute were still collecting data.
Seeing them coming, they all stopped what they were doing.
After arriving here, Art saw many people saluting Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu also saluted back one by one.
The translator accompanying him didn't dare to talk nonsense, so his doubts were destined to be answered by no one.
However, when he saw Li Xuewu motioning for him to come forward and look at the guns on the table, he couldn't help but ask, "Are they new guns?"
“You try it first”
Li Xuewu smiled and signaled: "There are no bullets, let's check the situation first."
Art nodded and walked forward suspiciously to observe.
In addition to the familiar Type 56 rifle group, there was also a rifle with a beautiful shape and a long barrel that caught his attention.
When he picked up the rifle, Li Xuewu stood beside him and introduced: "What you have in your hands now is the precision shooting rifle I mentioned."
“It’s so beautiful”
Art nodded and agreed: "Did you design a new one?"
"certainly!"
Li Xuewu said shamelessly: "We designed it independently."
After speaking, he emphasized: "It is not only beautiful, but also very expensive!"
"Expensive?"
Art raised his eyebrows and asked, "How expensive is it? Tell me and I'll listen."
"Fifteen thousand"
Li Xuewu gritted his teeth and shouted the price with all his strength, hoping it would not be too high or too low.
"Haha~"
Art was not a stickler. He chuckled and said: "Your neighbor has made a Type 64 rifle. It costs up to 5,000 US dollars. It is also said to be very accurate and powerful, but..."
He shook his head slightly and said, "That's just what they said. I've seen it, and it's rubbish."
Li Xuewu could hear the meaning of his words, raised his head confidently, emphasized the quotation just now, and said: "Ten thousand, I'm talking about Dao Le".
"I didn't tell you about the yen either."
Art has a bit of an arrogant attitude because he has been fooled by too many people in the international market and has gained too much experience.
At this moment, he put down the sniper rifle in his hand and said: "Mr. Li, I have seen this gun, not in the mainland."
"Oh? Really?"
Li Xuewu did not show excessive surprise and said: "But our sales direction does not include foreign countries."
"Come on, let's be frank"
He gestured to the sniper rifle at hand and said: "This is a sniper rifle designed by Mao Zi and is still in the experimental stage."
"No, this is the Type 66-6 sniper rifle"
Li Xuewu tilted his head slightly and said seriously: "I know you may have seen Maozi's gun in the south, but it is definitely not the Type 66-6."
He emphasized: "Maozi's gun is still in the experimental stage. How can we copy it? It's completely a collision of ideas."
Li Xuewu looked at Art's surprised eyes and said with some regret: "It hit hard!"
