After the greetings, Xu Sinian stepped forward and reminded: "Lunch is ready."
"Okay, let's eat first"
Li Xuewu smiled and made an invitation gesture to Andrew and others, and then together with Xu Sinian, they led everyone into the hall.
The shipyard's attitude towards the God of Wealth is naturally good, and the food prepared is of the highest quality possible.
Yingcheng is close to the sea, so seafood is naturally indispensable, and there are not only seafood on the table, but also mountain delicacies.
Because Yingcheng is also backed by a mountain, the dining table truly illustrates the true meaning of relying on the mountain to eat from the mountain and relying on the sea to eat from the sea.
As part of the entourage, Zhou Xiaobai and others were arranged in other rooms, but the food was the same.
Together with Luo Yun, he instantly transformed into a foodie, and because he was not familiar with anyone in the group, he didn't have to worry about face issues.
Zhou Miaomiao took the initiative to pick up crabs for the two of them, and explained with a smile how the crabs in Yingcheng were different.
Zhou Xiaobai glanced at her in surprise, then looked at the crabs on the plate and thanked her softly.
Luo Yun acted more directly, not even looking at Zhou Miaomiao, nor paying attention to the crabs on the plate.
The other people at the same table glanced here, but didn't say much, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
But after all, Zhou Miaomiao was a few years older than the two of them, so she knew that it was difficult to handle little girls at this time.
Since this girl named Zhou Xiaobai can talk, let’s start with her.
A crab opened the communication barrier between the two, and starting from the fact that they both had the same surname of Zhou, they talked about their study experiences.
Zhou Xiaobai was not as cautious as Luo Yun. Since Zhou Miaomiao took the initiative to communicate, she would say a few words from time to time.
During the dinner, Peng Xiaoli came over and asked them if they wanted to rest after the meal or if they wanted to go around the camp.
Zhou Xiaobai asked Li Xuewu about his arrangements, but Peng Xiaoli smiled and said that the leaders had a meeting in the afternoon and wanted to see the scene.
Zhou Miaomiao could see the meaning behind Peng Xiaoli's words and took the initiative to ask if it was convenient to go to Yingcheng.
Peng Xiaoli glanced at her and explained with a smile that Xiao Liu, the secretary of Director Xu of the shipyard, would arrange for a driver to take them to Yingcheng.
Zhou Miaomiao understood now that there was nothing going on at the shipyard without them, so he took the initiative to invite Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun to visit Yingcheng together.
Luo Yun glanced at Peng Xiaoli. She didn't trust Zhou Miaomiao, but she knew that Li Xuewu's secretary didn't dare to harm them.
When Zhou Xiaobai nodded hesitantly in agreement, she did not object. She just stated that neither she nor Xiaobai had any money notes when they came out.
At this moment, you can see why Li Huaide liked Zhou Miaomiao and ordered her to stay with him.
The two little girls directly expressed their lack of money. She did not take the initiative to be courteous, but looked at Peng Xiaoli.
Peng Xiaoli explained to the two of them in a low voice that the leader had arrangements, so just have fun.
After Peng Xiaoli finished explaining, Zhou Miaomiao took the initiative to tell Zhou Xiaobai that the products in Yingcheng were not as comprehensive as those in Beijing, but they still had their own characteristics.
They also said that they would not go to particularly expensive shopping malls, but would just go around and take a look at the scenery of Yingcheng.
Peng Xiaoli glanced at Zhou Miaomiao, and then said that the leader has also prepared one for you. Please help the leader buy some children's toys.
Zhou Miaomiao smiled and agreed, saying that the leader would never forget his daughter wherever he went. Last time he went to Yangcheng, he saw the leader and bought a lot of toys.
After Peng Xiaoli left, she and Zhou Xiaobai chatted quietly for a while about what they were going to buy, which made Luo Yun grin.
She is not a three- or five-year-old child anymore. Even if she feels uncomfortable, she will not stop Zhou Xiaobai from contacting him.
Just watching Zhou Miaomiao deliberately approach Zhou Xiaobai and communicate with him for other purposes made her feel sad and pitiful.
You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, but you don't know that the people watching the scenery are also watching you upstairs.
You think people who take the initiative to communicate are pitiful, but you don't know that others see you as being reserved and pitiful.
In the world of women, there is never the most stable law of triangular relationship, because there are three women in one drama.
It's different for men. It might be a little awkward for two people to sit together, but three people can fight the landlord!
At noon, there was no drinking at the dinner table because of the presence of Andrew and other foreign businessmen.
The meal was very sumptuous, and everyone chatted while eating. Although it was not as lively as the wine table, it was still more relaxed.
After lunch, everyone found a place to rest according to the arrangements of the shipyard.
Liu Shaozong, Gao Yaqin and Zhou Gancheng gathered together without saying anything.
They had lost the spirit they had when they got on the boat, and their sullen faces when they got off the boat only showed their inner injustice.
Especially when they saw Li Xuewu giving directions freely and casually, frost formed on the faces of several people.
No matter how sumptuous the lunch was, it could not calm the inner turmoil.
"Ahem~"
In the small lounge, the three of them were silent for a long time, with no intention of being the first to speak.
Liu Shaozong was in the most torment. He looked at Gao Yaqin and then Zhou Gancheng and couldn't help it.
He coughed twice first, and then said: "Just... that plan is feasible~"
Zhou Gancheng glanced at Gao Yaqin, then fixed on Liu Shaozong's face, waiting for his next words.
Gao Yaqin's face was calm and she had no intention of continuing. She folded her arms and pursed her lips with lowered eyebrows.
"I'm a little vague"
Liu Shaozong lit a cigarette for himself with a frown on his face and said: "I agreed too quickly at that time."
"What do you mean?"
Gao Yaqin raised her eyebrows, and after looking at Liu Shaozong, she looked at Zhou Gancheng.
Zhou Gancheng signaled to Liu Shaozong, meaning to wait for him to finish.
The three of them each represent their own interests, and now they are forced to sit together and do things that run counter to their own goals.
Therefore, even if we sit together, we are still sharing the same bed with different dreams, and each has his or her own agenda.
When Liu Shaozong said this, he naturally wanted to regret it, fearing that he would be tainted by the cause and effect, and would be retaliated against again.
But he couldn't be the first to express this meaning, otherwise he would offend the other two people, and even more so Li Xuewu.
He didn't want to offend the person behind the plan, let alone the person who broke the situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He even has to consider the opinions of the other two people on the same boat.
So he said that he was vague and was intimidated by Li Xuewu on the boat into agreeing too quickly, and expressed doubts about the plan.
If the other two people are also vague, then everyone can act together and it will be fine if they offend anyone. It just doesn't matter if one person is responsible.
However, the other two people didn't think his idea made any sense.
Seeing him slumping and speechless, Gao Yaqin couldn't hold back her anger and shouted directly: "Isn't it too late for you to hide now?"
Ignoring Liu Shaozong's sudden change of expression, she pointed out the essence of the problem without mercy: "If the ship sinks, you will be finished too!"
Yes, everyone was on the boat at the time, so we agreed because we felt the same way.
It's just that it was not as good as it is now. Li Xuewu's violent image gave him too much psychological pressure. Now that he has gone ashore, it has naturally eased a lot.
Another one, if the three of them join forces to kick Li Xuewu off the ship first and resolve the matter quickly, what will be the result?
Obviously, Gao Yaqin doesn't want to.
Facing Liu Shaozong's silence, Gao Yaqin lowered her eyelids, glanced at him with disdain, and said: "Don't think about playing tricks behind your back."
"Also, you need to know"
She tapped her feet, squinted her eyes slightly and reminded: "This is Yingcheng, the shipyard, and the site of the steel rolling mill."
"If I had known I shouldn't have gotten involved!"
Liu Shaozong was a little anxious by what she said. He took a puff of cigarette angrily and extinguished half of the cigarette butt impatiently.
Gao Yaqin, however, was not used to him, and said in a serious tone: "You are still unwilling, do I, the one who takes the blame, speak first?"
She crossed her arms, folded her legs, glanced at Liu Shaozong up and down, and asked, "How about you playing my role instead?"
After finishing speaking, he paused and then curled his lips disdainfully and said: "I want to be a positive character!"
"You think I do?!"
Liu Shaozong patted his chest and asked, "I asked for this! Am I so positive?!"
Of course he is unwilling. In the plan described by Li Xuewu, he is a positive figure and a key link in rectifying the source and turning the world around.
but!
The more upright and positive he is in this plan, in the plan of the person behind him, he is the troublemaker, the bastard who flipped the table.
He is so righteous, so righteous that the other party wants to sacrifice him.
In fact, what Li Xuewu threatened on the ship was not done by Li Xuewu, but by him.
A lone hero!
Li Xuewu saw that he loved acting so much, so he gave him the opportunity to be a big man and be a conscience.
It's just not that radical. He wants to report the problem to the Ministry of Industry and higher levels through working relationships.
This is compliant and reasonable, avoids direct confrontation, and avoids sensitive areas.
Being a hero has to pay a price, you just think, Zhou Qiancheng is a taboo existence, how can he have the determination to bring order to the chaos?
Zhou Gancheng could see the hesitation and suffering in his heart. Even at the dinner table just now, Liu Shaozong's brows did not loosen.
No one had a good lunch. The more they saw Li Xuewu's heroic spirit, the more they felt at a loss.
Why did you get on this boat?
This is not a yacht, this is obviously a pirate ship!
"How about we switch?"
Zhou Gancheng raised his eyebrows and said to Liu Shaozong: "If you think the part about you in the plan is too bright, actually I don't want to be an undercover agent and a traitor who works behind the scenes."
"..."
Liu Shaozong glanced at him speechlessly, picked up half of the cigarette butt in the ashtray and lit it again.
He didn't want to talk now, let alone talk to these two people. He was speechless.
None of the three of them are good characters in this plan!
After quite a while, after half-smoking the cigarette butt, Liu Shaozong was still unconvinced and asked: "If we write it together, it will help him, right?!"
That's right, Li Xuewu came up with this plan just to let the three of them play a triangle formation so that he could hide himself.
All the pressure has been borne by the three of them. Li Xuewu is now very good and can easily discuss cooperation with foreign businessmen.
What the hell is this!
"What if?"
Gao Yaqin asked angrily: "Let him break the jar and then we are all finished?"
She sneered and said: "Since things are already like this, it's better to take the initiative and solve this matter."
"I still don't believe it!"
Liu Shaozong put out the cigarette butt and said angrily: "I don't believe he dares to burn the boat!"
"Hmm~hmm~"
Zhou Gancheng squinted his eyes and said, "I don't believe it either, but do you dare to bet?"
Although Liu Shaozong looked very excited, he sat there motionless and had no intention of getting up to deal with Li Xuewu.
Of the three people here, whoever is not the top person in the unit cannot understand anything.
They could tell at a glance what Li Xuewu was going to do and what game he was planning.
But the conspiracy can be broken, but how to break the conspiracy?
They set it up like this on purpose, trapping the three of them in plain sight. Can you refuse to agree if you want?
It's okay, but the other two can, but Zhou Gancheng can't.
If the ship sinks, the best the other two can do is find another job somewhere else, or wait for the next opportunity to start over again.
But what about him?
If career opportunities can come back, can life come back again?
I have never heard of anyone being able to come back from the dead!
Even if there is, it will not fall on his head, and he will not even be left with ashes by then.
Liu Shaozong naturally understood. At present, neither of them had any intention of resisting Li Xuewu's plan.
He asked helplessly: "Even if he has a brilliant plan, what will happen if he really finds out the person behind it?"
"Could it be...?"
Liu Shaozong glanced at the two of them with squinted eyes and asked, "Actually, he has a back-up plan?"
"It's hard to say~"
Zhou Gancheng rubbed the gauze on his forehead tiredly, but when his hand failed to hold it, he grinned in pain.
"I won't tell you in detail about his background, but what I can confirm is that he is stronger than you think."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Leave aside the background relationship, but from this point of view"
Gao Yaqin looked at Liu Shaozong and asked: "Do you think the steel rolling mill will give up on him? Will Li Huaide give up on him?"
She looked a little gloomy and said: "I haven't mentioned his other identity yet. They protect each other and are unbreakable."
They are naturally aware of Li Xuewu's other identity. He is the first deputy political commissar and deputy commander of the Third Regiment of the Garrison Area. He is an inconspicuous but truly awesome presence.
Cadres with this status who can still serve in local factories do not have a simple role.
Not to mention the background relationship of Li Xuewu that was vaguely mentioned in Zhou Gancheng's words.
Who is Li Xuewu's father-in-law? He hasn't even gotten off the boat yet, so he knows it with just a few words.
After getting off the boat, they also found out who the father named Zhou Xiaobai was.
This is really cool!
You just said that the daughter of the deputy commander of the Capital Region was running around with him when she had nothing to do!
The moment they learned Zhou Xiaobai's identity, cold sweat broke out on the three of them's backs.
Li Xuewu really wasn't trying to scare them on the ship. If Li Xuewu was linked with foreign affairs risks, Zhou Xiaobai, who was traveling with him, would also be involved.
At that time, who among them will be able to solve Zhou Xiaobai's problem, and how can they withstand Li Xuewu's counterattack.
It is said that Li Xuewu came from an ordinary family, was a typical prodigal son, and was a representative of young talents.
Do you dare to believe this?!
Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Shaozong caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the door, and he was sure to be Li Xuewu's secretary Peng Xiaoli.
He knew that Li Xuewu, who was a security guard, would not let them disappear so easily.
Think about the cases Li Xuewu handled before. If they could even catch the lurking Japanese, they were nothing.
Such a ruthless person shouldn't be so young, the kind who would look down upon him at a glance!
Damn your habit of looking at people!
Since this road was blocked, the three of them were no longer confused. They went out and found a phone number to reply to the capital.
There is no way, people under the eaves have to bow their heads, they can only follow Li Xuewu's plan!
------------------
Brothers Shuke and Beta once said: What is easy to realize is not a dream, what is given up lightly is not a promise. If you want to succeed, you must dare to challenge. Shipbuilding cannot get out of the weird circle, and the shipyard will always be a trap.
Joking.
During the planned economy period, the overall development of the shipbuilding industry can be clearly seen from the annual tonnage growth.
The current economic focus is on land, and the twelve nautical miles of sea rights and territorial waters are not yet capable of being developed.
Therefore, several large shipyards in the mainland are either servicing ships or discrediting development.
It seems that there are only a few Yingcheng Shipyards that actively seek advanced foreign technologies and implement OEM production.
Li Xuewu and Andrew, who were wearing woolen coats, walked in front, and beside them was Xu Sinian, who was introducing the situation of the shipyard.
Liu Shaozong and other entourage followed behind, looking at the scene and discussing the inspection situation.
An engineering team headed by Xia Zhongquan, chief engineer of the steel rolling mill, Zhao Hongtu, deputy chief engineer of the shipyard, and David, chief engineer of Geely Star Company, has arrived at the site in advance.
They are giving instructions and discussing at the shipping dock. This time they want to survey the yacht manufacturing dock, and also determine the construction machinery and human resources.
In order to ensure the integrity of the shipbuilding process and the stability of the construction period, these conditions must be written in the contract.
A clerk held up the drawings and was helping the engineers mark the locations and data they wanted to see.
Zhou Miaomiao and the three of them also came out of the shipyard office area together. First they took photos with the crowd at the beach, and then boarded the car and went to the city under the arrangement of Xiao Liu.
"In fact, Yingcheng has not lacked shipbuilding genes since ancient times."
Li Xuewu raised his hand to gesture to the vast sea, and introduced to Andrew beside him: "When it comes to conquering the sea, we are not later than Italy, or even earlier."
Everyone stood on the pier, looking down, the shipbuilding dock was unobstructed, and looking into the distance was the sea of stars that needed to be conquered.
"The shipyard under our feet is still very young. From the establishment of the project to where you are standing, it has only been a mere dozen years."
Li Xuewu pointed to the mouth of the river not far away and said with a smile: "The old man here told me that this place used to be a mudflat, and you couldn't get out if you walked in."
"This side is close to the mouth of the river. There are reeds, ponds, and puddles everywhere. Frogs and firecrackers are jumping all over the ground."
He turned back to point out the tens of thousands of square meters of factory buildings that had been completed, and said with emotion: "Without heavy machinery and efficient engineering teams, can you imagine this kind of perseverance?"
Andrew glanced at the buildings not far away with some clicks of tongue, looked at the surrounding environment, and had some feelings after Li Xuewu's introduction.
“When workers move to a construction site, the first biggest problem is food, housing, and water.”
Li Xuewu introduced with a slight frown: "The saline-alkali water underground here cannot be used as construction water or domestic water, so we have to use trucks to pull water from far away from the city."
"Of course"
He smiled and said: "The water problem has been solved now. The water pipes have been connected."
"Think about how hard it was for those who opened up wasteland to build the factory. Reeds can even grow in the temporary work sheds."
"Due to the low-lying terrain, the house foundations are built low and are easily flooded. The foundations can only be made by mounding soil, compacting it with a roller, and making artificial foundations on top of the backfill soil."
Li Xuewu stood on the dock, looked at the work area and office area, nodded slightly and said: "Our workers are the cutest people, and they have the courage and perseverance to change the world."
“That’s why I chose this place”
Andrew understood the implication of Li Xuewu's words, smiled and nodded affirmatively.
Seeing what he said, Li Xuewu also smiled and said: "Cooperation is for win-win results, at least the purpose is the same."
He turned back, gestured to the dock at his feet, and said: "Yingcheng Shipyard has great development potential, and you can see it from the dock we built."
"A giant ship of 10,000 tons~"
Andrew smiled and nodded, and said very understandingly: "With the current standard capacity in the international shipping market, the port city is also developing a giant ship economy."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This must be the trend of the future!"
Li Xuewu pointed his finger at him and said affirmatively: "Believe me, our factory has vision and ideas that are not inferior to those of the international leaders!"
"What you see is a 10,000-ton shipbuilding dock."
He pointed his finger below and said seriously: "What I see is that the appearance of 10,000-ton standard giant ships in batches can drive the circulation of commodities and how much economic development it can drive."
"Tell it the other way around"
Li Xuewu pointed his finger at Xu Sinian again and said: "The manufacturing capacity of 10,000-ton giant ships represents the future and development of the shipyard."
"In other words, we have the ability to build bigger ships, more ships, and we have more confidence and ability to build smaller, more luxurious ships."
“Please rest assured about this”
When Xu Sinian saw Li Xuewu turning the conversation over to him, he nodded and confirmed: "There is an old saying in China: If you don't have diamonds, you won't get the porcelain job."
"Yingcheng Shipyard's existing technology reserves, manpower reserves, and material reserves are fully satisfied with its rapid development in the future."
As he spoke, he gestured to the shipyard at his feet and the machine shop in the distance, saying: "The existing production capacity has not yet reached its peak. As Deputy Director Li said, the shipyard has unlimited potential."
"I understand"
Andrew nodded, and as far as he could see, everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind.
He gestured to several docks in the shipyard and asked Xu Sinian: "Do you have a production plan for next year?"
"The next three years, even five years"
Xu Sinian smiled confidently and nodded: "Actually, the machine shop is already producing non-stop."
"It's just that this is the first winter, so a lot of work hasn't had time to start, and there are no new ships built in the dock."
"but!"
He said with certainty: "All programs that can carry out production work are already preparing workpieces and are waiting for the official production in the spring."
"Standard parts construction mode?"
Andrew glanced at Xu Sinian in surprise, and then threw the question to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, looked at the sea and said: "Just like producing cars, we must quickly produce ships."
"Terrible~"
Andrew shook his head slightly and asked: "Even if your dock is big enough and the fishing boats are small enough, how fast can six or ten boats be started at the same time?"
"You should trust us"
Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the cable facilities laid around the dock and the high-hanging lighthouse: "In your opinion, there are 24 hours in a day, but in our opinion, there are only 24 hours in a day."
"Impossible~"
Andrew shook his head with a look on his face and said: "You can't arrange for workers to work 24 hours a day."
"Why?"
Li Xuewu smiled, spread his hands, and said: "What limits us can be mechanical equipment or technical capabilities, but it is definitely not hard work."
"No! It's not a matter of hard work!"
Andrew shook his head slightly and said: "You have to know that night construction is inefficient, and overtime work is also a burden on the workers' bodies and the machinery itself."
“None of this is a problem”
Xu Sinian said firmly: "We have planned and arranged a three-shift project management model to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted construction operations."
He patted the iron railings on the pier, pursed his lips and said resolutely: "Time waits for no one, this big ship in the shipyard must start moving."
The steel rolling mill has not given an exact start time, but every day at the shipyard, the pressure on the shipyard increases.
Especially the pressure from Li Xuewu, who has urged the shipyard to lay the first keel as soon as possible more than once.
This winter, the reason why the shipyard has continued construction without interruption and has even started some machining production is because of Li Xuewu's request.
If you need people, give people, if you need money, give money, if you need equipment, give equipment, if you need materials, give materials.
As long as the shipyard needed it and the rolling mill could mobilize it, Li Xuewu gave it to Xu Sinian.
Now all the pressure is on Xu Sinian. When he sees the first boat launched into the water for trial sailing, he will be relieved.
Therefore, uninterrupted construction is Yingcheng Shipyard’s own choice and an inevitable choice.
The factory, which was originally planned to employ about 3,000 people, is now applying for approval to increase the number to 8,000 or even 10,000 large-scale shipyards.
The advanced experience from Bincheng Shipyard told him that in order to quickly realize production, under the premise that the current mechanical equipment is not perfect, it is necessary to code people.
Skilled workers require time and workload to hone, and new shipyards are even more challenging in this regard.
The first batch of skilled workers selected from Yingcheng Shipyard have gone to Bincheng Shipyard for study and training.
The second, third, and even fourth batch will be organized next month...
Xu Sinian gave Andrew the technical reserve capabilities of Yingcheng Shipyard, which mainly come from the shipyard itself. Others include Bincheng Shipbuilding, steel rolling mills, steelmaking plants, Huaqing University, etc.
Talent training and mechanical transformation capabilities rely more on the development and progress of the shipyard itself to drive new opportunities and create new capabilities.
Andrew was silent for a long time after hearing this, and sighed slightly: "Even so, my team of engineers and technical workers cannot work in shifts 24 hours a day."
He looked at the team surveying the site in the shipyard and said seriously: "In the West, this level of labor was a long time ago. I understand the demands of developing countries."
"but"
Andrew shook his head slightly and said: "Our company can't do this yet."
"We are not forcing it"
Li Xuewu smiled and said to Andrew: "We are more focused on self-reliance and hard work, including current shipyards, even steel mills, rolling mills, automobile factories, etc."
"I can only say that your future will be limitless."
Andrew is very satisfied with this labor and management model, and even more satisfied with the development demands of workers.
In his factory, if the workers were to work like this, he would be hanged.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention that it will be boycotted by the industry, even the ships it builds will also be boycotted by society.
The Western world does not allow the existence of King Juan.
The atmosphere on the pier was peaceful and respectful, but the dock work area below the pier was not so harmonious.
Geely Star's chief engineer was very enthusiastic and discussed with Zhao Hongtu, deputy chief engineer of the shipyard, with the help of a translator which dock they should use as a special dock for yacht production to facilitate subsequent design, construction and modification.
Yingcheng Shipyard has four docks, three large and one small. According to Zhao Hongtu's intention, they should be given smaller docks to facilitate yacht construction.
But David disagreed. He wanted a big one, so that multiple ships could be constructed at the same time, which was fast and convenient, saving engineering time.
Andrew listened to the argument below and gave Li Xuewu a meaningful look.
But Li Xuewu ignored the arguments among the technicians below, pointed at the luxury yacht parked on the pier in the distance, and asked about the shipbuilding environment in Italy.
"Actually, it's not as healthy as your shipbuilding industry."
Andrew spread his hands helplessly and introduced: "Although Italy's coastline is not as long as your country, there must be more shipyards than your country."
"I'm not trying to compare or be proud."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked, "Can you understand what I mean?"
“I understand, the competition is fierce”
Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "Just like in your developed countries, there are many fat people, but most of them are poor and unhealthy. There are few thin people, but they are the exclusive preserve of the rich. It happens to be the other way around here."
"Hahaha~"
Andrew smiled and waved his hand. Although it was surprising to say this, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.
He said that the mainland's shipbuilding environment is healthy and there is little competitive pressure. Isn't it because the mainland currently lacks shipbuilding capabilities and development potential?
To say "poor" in one word is not an exaggeration.
Italy is very wealthy, but its shipyards are bloated, competition is fierce, costs remain high, and the shipbuilding environment is unhealthy.
He shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Do you know the purpose of my father giving me this yacht?"
"It's actually a helpless move!"
He sighed deeply and nodded: "If it weren't for the pressure of competition, why would I come all the way to Asia to develop and cooperate with you, right?"
"Haha, there are pros and cons."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Intense competition means the speed of technological update and iteration is accelerating. Whoever masters advanced technology first will make the first profit."
“That’s it”
Andrew nodded, pointed at the machine shop and said, "I wouldn't dare to build a workshop as big as yours. It's too wasteful."
He turned back to look at his yacht and said: "Our shipyard spends more money on technology research and development and leading advantages."
"So, you're going to take another path, right?"
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said: "With our not-so-leading technological advantages, we will seek ultra-low-cost manufacturing processes and opportunities to explore the sales space of yachts."
"Hahaha!"
Andrew didn't care at all about Li Xuewu's words, smiled and nodded: "This is also the basis for me to discuss cooperation with you!"
"That's right!"
Li Xuewu also smiled and said: "We need technology, we need orders, and we need this job. This is a win-win situation for us!"
"I like this idea of yours!"
Andrew nodded to Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "I have never seen many young people with your kind of thinking ability, as well as pioneering and enterprising advanced management."
"You're honored~"
Li Xuewu smiled and shook his head and said: "In our place, I can catch a lot of them everywhere."
"Hahaha!"
Andrew obviously didn't believe Li Xuewu's words. He knew that Chinese people like to be self-effacing and don't like to express themselves very much.
Although he didn't have contact with Li Xuewu for a long time or many times, he was still very accurate in judging people.
Rather than saying that he was investing in Yingcheng Shipyard, it would be better to say that he was investing in Li Xuewu.
He looked at the sea in the distance and said with emotion: "Now we are only building small yachts, but in the future there will be big yachts."
"Just like my boat"
Andrew smiled and pointed at his yacht to Li Xuewu, and the meaning in his words was even heard by the accompanying cadres behind him.
Li Xuewu and Xu Sinian stood here to accompany the Italians, blowing the sea breeze, bragging, and playing tricks. The purpose could be as impure as possible.
And this old man from Italy was able to travel across the ocean to Asia to make a career in the world. He was no fool at all. His answers were impeccable and he even pointed out Li Xuewu's little idea of stealing his skills from his master.
Li Xuewu didn't care, just like Andrew didn't care about what he saw.
"Can you tell us about the ship manufacturing situation in the port city?"
He smiled and signaled to Xu Sinian and others: "We who stay at home still want to know about the outside world, including Guishao and Nanhan across the street."
"..."
Come on! This is not just about stealing the skills from a master, but also harboring evil intentions, wanting to starve the master to death after learning!
------------------
When we came back after watching the scene, it was already dark, and everyone was hissing in the sea breeze.
But the atmosphere of the debate among the engineering team was still very lively, as if they were not cold.
Before dinner, a discussion meeting was arranged at the shipyard to facilitate all parties to express their opinions.
As soon as the meeting began, the engineer representatives from both sides began to speak actively, which was necessary to create a more favorable advantage for the subsequent business negotiations.
The initial debate was mainly about the choice of dock and the investment in technical equipment.
The opinion given by Yingcheng Shipyard is that the request made by the other party is too excessive!
The project department has independent personnel management, independent material management, and independent equipment management. Doesn’t this mean selling the factory?
Deputy Chief Engineer Zhao Hongtu means that such management methods will cause a waste of technical equipment and manpower.
We should make overall plans and coordinate all forces from the perspective of Yingcheng Shipyard.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The explanation given by Geely Star is that the independent project department needs independent rights because it is worried that the shipyard will threaten them with these conditions in the later stages of the cooperation.
Even if the shipyard does not take the initiative to threaten it, if it encounters an emergency or force majeure and refuses to provide construction power, wouldn't they lose money?
Starting from this issue, the two sides gradually expanded their focus from shipbuilding technology to all aspects of the issue. The key point was to dig out step by step and calculate step by step. No one planned to let the other go.
This thing is just like fighting and negotiating. Fighting is for better negotiation, so the harder you fight, the easier it is to negotiate.
Do you think Li Xuewu and Andrew have any intention of getting involved or reconciling?
It's not harmful to the body to argue. Isn't that what you spend money on to support people?
Xu Sinian was cunning and cunning, and he waited until the issue was almost noisy before he stepped forward to be the peacemaker and said that dinner was ready and he would eat first and then talk about this after dinner.
The engineers at Yingcheng Shipyard are still a little indignant, but look at the engineers at Geely Star Shipyard.
Just after the meeting was dismissed, these guys immediately dropped their hateful faces and kept showing kindness to the shipyard's reception.
This confuses the people at the shipyard, and they don't know what kind of trick the other party is playing.
It was Xu Sinian who explained in private that everyone works for capitalists, work is work, and life is life.
The salary is just that much, so I don't have to worry about everything at work, and I don't have to worry about life.
This can't help but make Zhao Hongtu and others who have been tit for tat feel discouraged and feel that the argument just now is more like a farce.
They are all working part-time, so why are they competing?
Today's dinner was still very sumptuous. The delicacies were not too overwhelming, but still had a unique flavor.
Because the sea breeze had blown all afternoon and we had been arguing all afternoon, everyone was tired.
Especially the three of them, Liu Shaozong, felt angry at noon and had not eaten enough. They were hungry all afternoon, and they had to make up for it with this meal in the evening.
None of them realized that the food in the shipyard was so good.
Maybe it was evening and there was no official business, so liquor appeared on the table.
Li Xuewu tentatively invited Andrew, who quite liked liquor.
Seeing that he was willing to drink, the atmosphere at the table became heated. A waiter started pouring wine. Everyone's faces became rosy and they could talk freely.
Andrew took the initiative to share the wine culture he encountered in Hong Kong City at the dinner table, saying that the people there are more particular and have begun to study the characteristics of the wine table that combines Chinese and Western styles.
Just as everyone at the table was listening to Coke, several accompanying secretaries suddenly walked in, and the joyful atmosphere was interrupted.
Peng Xiaoli, like the secretary to several others, walked behind Li Xuewu and whispered in his ear: "Leader, something happened in the Magic City..."
While Peng Xiaoli was reporting, Xu Sinian, Liu Shaozong, Gao Yaqin, Zhou Gancheng and others all raised their heads and looked at Li Xuewu in stunned silence.
According to the secretary's report, hundreds of thousands of people were involved in this turmoil. Judging from the news that just came through, this turmoil will definitely not stop at the Magic City.
Previously, the big study activities were very gentle, even if they were a bit intense, they were still under control.
But now it has suddenly developed in an intense and uncertain direction. What the future will bring is uncertain.
Liu Shaozong and the three people sitting across from them were numb. They didn't know why such a big thing happened.
They looked at Li Xuewu because they all wondered whether there was a prophet in this world, or whether there was a premeditated plan.
