Chapter 1197 The situation is changing
"Leader, please make an application."

Zhou Yao knocked on the door and walked into the office when Li Xuewu looked up.

"Is it not disturbing you?"

"You've already come in. Isn't it a little late to ask now?"

Li Xuewu glanced at her, took the document, and asked, "What application? Don't ask for money?"

"Look at what you said," Zhou Yao smiled embarrassedly and muttered, "I dare not trouble you with this free application——"

"So I'm a banker, right?"

Li Xuewu flipped open the document, took a look, and dotted a few times with a pencil. He looked up and asked, "It's easy to ask for a car, but what do you think of asking for a fuel storage depot?"

Without waiting for Zhou Yao to answer, he picked up the phone again, turned the wheel and said, "Help me get the Engineering Planning Department."

"Leader, our vehicles are using a lot of fuel right now. If we take the fire department into account..."

"Well, I'm Li Xuewu," Zhou Yao had only said half of her words when the call was connected.

Li Xuewu pointed to the chair opposite and motioned her to sit down, while he started talking on the phone.

"Let me ask, how is the gas station project that we discussed some time ago going?"

……

"Well, well, is there still a need to discuss above-ground tanks and underground tanks? Build underground tanks."

Li Xuewu said firmly: "Get two gasoline tanks and three diesel tanks."

"Well, use a 30-cubic-meter tank, and the total cubic meter should not exceed 150. Yes, yes, good."

After giving a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.

"You don't have to worry about the oil depot. The factory has already communicated with the oil company."

Li Xuewu unscrewed the pen at hand and made comments on the application while explaining.

Since the Red Star Factory can produce cars, it must have also considered the issue of fuel usage.

Other units don’t need to worry. Although the current domestic refined oil sales market is still dominated by oil coupons, it can basically meet supply and demand.

The National Petroleum Corporation has not yet been split up. The whole country is like a chessboard. If you want to buy refined oil, you can only deal with them.

It seems that in later generations, the situation of having to go to the oil depot to pump oil by oneself no longer exists, and the business-to-business trading of refined oil is still very convenient.

Mainly many large enterprises, or industrial, communication, transportation and other systems will build their own gas stations.

This type of gas station will not be open to the public and is only used to ensure fuel supply for internal vehicles.

Since the second half of last year, the Red Star Factory's oil consumption has been increasing every month. In the middle of this year, the oil company even needed to arrange tanker trucks to provide services at the factory.

Why? Where did the oil-guzzling people come from?

At the construction site, the engineering machinery donated by the French Santaya Collective is a huge oil consumer.

The bigger the machine and the louder the rumbling sound it makes, the more fuel it consumes.

The arrival and use of these construction machinery consumed the Red Star Factory's annual oil consumption target.

Lao Li used his connections with the oil company and contacted the Ministry of Machine Building for coordination, and only then was he able to apply for special indicators.

Of course, this is a helpless move, as the Red Star Factory does not have its own gas station.

Two years ago, the Red Star Factory had less than 200 cars in total, and most of them were in the transport fleet.

Diesel for transport teams is basically purchased and used in the form of oil barrels. Small fleets or cars usually go to the oil company's gas stations to refuel.

Someone asked, isn’t it a bit too extravagant for the Red Star Factory to build its own gas station just to sell a few broken cars?
Don't compare the gas stations of today with those of tomorrow, and don't compare the cars of today with those of tomorrow.

Li Xuewu requested to build a 150 cubic meter standard gas station. Do you think it is too big?
After all, according to the standards of later generations, this is a first-level station, which can supply the quantity of a small county town.

We still need to look at the displacement and fuel consumption of cars these days.

In the future, if you drive a car with a fuel consumption of 8.something, you will feel that it is a waste of fuel. If you drive frequently, you will have to refuel every week, which is so annoying.

But at this time, motorcycles were generally 250CC and 500CC.

Diesel vehicles generally have a fuel consumption of around 30 to 50 liters.

Gasoline cars also have a fuel consumption of 20 to 30 percent. Just imagine how far you can go on a tank of gas?

The Luxgen 7 can be called the fuel-efficient king, do you believe it?
It's not that the Red Star Factory was getting carried away and wanted to build a gas station just because it had a few broken cars, but that it had to build it.

The Liangmahe Industrial Zone still has at least two years of construction period, and the construction machinery on the site will have to run for another two years. Without a stable oil supply channel, the construction period will inevitably be delayed.

The cargo transportation project jointly undertaken by the Red Star Factory and Beijing Railway Station has added 20 trailer trucks. Taking into account the previous transport vehicles, how much diesel will be used every day?

Think about it again, the Red Star Factory acquired sixteen companies, grew explosively, and the number of employees soared to more than 90,000.

In this case, the number of vehicles will suddenly increase. How can we ensure the fuel supply for so many vehicles?

The application Zhou Yao submitted was not to build a gas station, but a skid-mounted station similar to that of later generations.

The Security Department has an internal fuel storage facility with a 15-cubic-meter above-ground tank, external pipelines, and a gas pump to serve the fuel needs of all vehicles in the Security Department.

The idea is good, but it is not well thought out.

This practice of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause is the most common problem within organizations.

In other words, the perspective on problems is not long-term enough and the thinking ability to solve problems is not solid enough.

Above-ground tanks, external pipelines, etc., expose problems of risk control and cost control.

It doesn’t cost much to build a skid-mounted station, but who is responsible for the risks of the gasoline tanks?

Who is responsible for the purchase, transportation, unloading, storage, use, etc. of fuel?
Zhou Yao, as a person in charge at this level, is limited in her ability to look at the problem comprehensively because of her perspective.

In other words, when she encountered a problem, she could only come up with solutions within her ability.

Li Xuewu stands higher, sees farther, and handles problems more comprehensively and cautiously.

This is also the reason why Li Huaide persuaded him to give up the security team and take on the role of deputy director of the Management Committee Office, where the working environment is more complicated.

Only in a higher and more complex environment can he be exposed to more opportunities and learn more thinking patterns to deal with problems.

Of course, this is not absolute.

In later generations, more and more capable cadres do not want to take the position of office director. I will not go into the specific circumstances here.

"The engineering department has already lined up the gas station project, so just hold on a little longer."

Li Xuewu pushed the approved document back and said as he put down his pen, "Think about the car again."

"My opinion is that we should not use sidecars. There is no need for them. They are just a compromise due to the shortage of cars."

He knocked on the table, looked at Zhou Yao and said, "You discuss this with Director Sun and the others, and have the security team and several departments do an investigation and then discuss and study it together."

"You mean..." Zhou Yao hesitated for a moment and asked, "If we apply to purchase vehicles, should we mainly buy Red Star Gazelle and Comet motorcycles?"

"The size of the factory guard team will not be increased any further."

Li Xuewu looked at her and reminded her, "At the beginning of next year, we will give the Security Department a target of 150 people to strengthen public security management capabilities."

The reason why the personnel quota can be given to 150 people at one time is because the Red Star Factory is facing the issue of upgrading and the establishment of multiple departments.

After the establishment of the Red Star United School, the security group set up a special school security office.

After the establishment of the Red Star United Savings Bank, the security team set up a special bank security department.

……

With the emergence of more and more independent management departments, the security team is also facing the dilemma of shortage of personnel and increasing number of departments.

Not to mention Li Xuewu, even Zhou Yao felt that his job rank should be raised, otherwise he would not be able to perform his management duties.

The establishment of various branches and specialized factories has been put on the agenda one after another, and the supporting security departments must also keep up.

This resulted in more and more security offices being managed by the security group, and the pressure on job levels becoming increasingly severe.

The gap in professional security and protection personnel is also growing.

Li Xuewu did not approve Zhou Yao's application for a car because he wanted to remind her to take next year's work into consideration.

"Do you want a special security vehicle?"

He flipped his palm and asked, "In the future, public security management will be the main work. Can the Comet motorcycle meet the needs of public security patrols?"

"You need to know whether the security departments of various units have reached saturation in terms of vehicles and how much the gap is."

"Leader, how do we divide the quota for these 150 people?" Zhou Yao sat up straight, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I think the public security unit needs to be expanded, and the security unit..."

"Investigation, all work can be solved with scientific management methods."

Li Xuewu pointed at the table and said, "You can't just sit in the office and think whatever you want."

"The public security unit said they were short of staff, and you snapped your head and said to expand. The security unit said there was too much work, and you snapped your head and said to expand. If you let them make all the decisions, what are you doing?"

He tapped the application he had just approved and said, "My advice to you is to clench your fist and do big things."

"The Public Security Unit should hand over patrol and daily safety management work to the Security Unit, so that they can free up their hands to handle more public security issues."

Li Xuewu found a newspaper from the pile of documents and handed it over, then asked, "Have you read the newspaper today?"

"Ah? I saw it, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yao was a little dazed. She took the newspaper hesitantly and read the article on the supplementary page of People's Daily at Li Xuewu's suggestion.

At the beginning of the month, a group of progressive young people from Beijing spontaneously organized to settle down in Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia...

"Leader, what you mean is..."

"When looking at problems, you also need to be able to think about them."

Li Xuewu tapped his temple with his index finger and said, "The future public security management situation will change. Comrade Zhou Yao, you must keep pace with the times."

"It's October now," he looked up at Zhou Yao and reminded her, "There are quite a few people who retired this year. Our factory must be a big customer."

"Specifically, please write a work plan and submit it, along with the application."

……
-
"Have you read today's newspaper?"

Li Huaide rubbed his hands vigorously, grabbed the shovel, dug the soil, and asked Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu and others around him were also working with shovels in their hands. Today was the voluntary labor day.

Since the National Day, the Red Star Factory Management Committee has issued a labor advocacy notice.

All the cadres and workers of the factory must go to Liangmahe Industrial Zone to participate in voluntary labor under the command and arrangement of the Engineering Command Center of the Engineering Department.

In order to show support for this movement, Li Huaide took the lead and personally led the members of the management committee to the construction site to do voluntary labor on October 4, which was Sunday.

The purpose of voluntary labor was very clear, which was to complete the main construction work of the ecological industrial zone before the first half of 69 with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Ensure that the Red Star Factory smoothly completes the transition to the Red Star Steel Group, and that all units and departments can move to the new office area in an orderly manner to start work.

This is an important project to support the upgrading, groupization, personnel changes and industrialization changes of the Red Star Factory.

To this end, the engineering command specially coordinated with the factory management committee and further called for voluntary labor.

Tens of thousands of people in the factory will strongly support the construction of Liangmahe Industrial Zone in the next three years.

It is not only necessary to call on workshop workers to use their rest time to come to the construction site, but also to require employees from all departments of the organization to actively join the labor force.

During this period, there were not many objections or complaints about voluntary labor, whether in the workshops or in the offices.

The Red Star Factory belongs to everyone. Building the Red Star Factory is like building your own home. There is nothing to refute.

But when there are too many people, there will be more trouble. Among the labor projects of tens of thousands of people, there will always be some who act naughty and lazy.

The Personnel Department, Engineering Department and Security Department have set up labor patrol teams. If they find this situation, they will not take action against you. They will just record it and count it together when the houses are divided.

Only in this way can we see that the construction has started along the Liangma River, which has been designated as a residential area, and six factories that have been merged and relocated have been demolished and renovated one after another.

The roadside planning map has been established, with tall buildings and garden landscapes, which can greatly enhance the workers' enthusiasm for participating in voluntary labor.

The underground structure, which also serves as a three-defense engineering project, has completed earthwork operations and is currently undergoing cement filling and pouring. These specialized works are being completed by an engineering team.

The main directions of voluntary labor were widening river embankments, clearing construction waste, demolishing annexed factory areas, repairing and paving roads, etc.

Li Huaide and Li Xuewu brought a group of office cadres to the site of the river embankment widening project.

There are large bulldozers and cranes working here, and heavy trucks transporting soil out.

The workers are mainly responsible for the repair of river embankments, laying of stones, and construction of cement embankments.

What Li Xuewu didn't expect was that Old Li, who had been sitting in the office for a long time, could also do his work in an efficient manner.

"Are you talking about the news about the progressive youth going to Mombasa to join the production team?"

Li Xuewu stepped on the shovel and dug a shovel of soil and threw it onto the bucket truck, saying casually: "I didn't pay much attention."

Listen, can you still believe what Li Xuewu says?
How he and Zhou Yao analyzed and taught was no longer taken seriously by Old Li.

"The weather is going to change..."

Li Huaide looked up at the azure sky and said with emotion, "It is said that people dress carelessly in February and August, so be careful not to catch a cold."

"You're right, keep warm in spring and cool in autumn," Li Xuewu agreed with a smile, "but don't freeze yourself to death, right?"

"Hahaha--"

Li Huaide has taken good care of his body. He has made friends with so many dancers, but he is still very strong.

"You know more about health preservation than me. Tell me, is it better to wear more clothes or less clothes?"

"What did I say?" Li Xuewu replied with a smile: "I said that if it's hot during the day, you should wear less, and if it's cold at night, you should wear more, hahahaha——"

"Look! You know more about health preservation than me!"

Li Huaide straightened up, pointed at him with his finger, and said with a smile, "You must have listened to the weather forecast a lot, right?"

"Hey, I don't have that much time," Li Xuewu stood up straight, wiped the sweat off his face with the towel on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Idiots spend the New Year watching the wall on the street--"

"Hahaha--"

Li Huaide held his waist with his hands and stood there smiling cooperatively for a while so that the people from the commission's office could take pictures.

After the young man from the First Committee Office left, the smile on his face faded a lot.

"I feel like the wind has changed so suddenly that I can't do anything about it," he said, looking at the wide highway in the distance and the tall buildings rising on both sides of the highway. "I hope the wind blows well and in the right direction."

"Why? Are you still concerned about the future of progressive youth groups?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, leaned his arm on the shovel handle, and asked with a smile: "I worry too much--"

"Me? I feel sad—"

Li Huaide glanced around and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he whispered to Li Xuewu, "The funds that our factory used to receive progressive teachers and students last year have not been repaid yet, right?"

"Tsk, are you still thinking about this money?"

Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and reminded him softly, "It's not appropriate to mention this now. Just think of it as a good deed and donate it on behalf of our factory."

"If we really settle these bad accounts, I'm afraid we will offend a lot of people. After all, no one has any surplus food."

"I'm not thinking about settling accounts, I just don't want to fill in new accounts."

Old Li calculated very stingily: "How many people are jealous of us now? They all want to take advantage of this opportunity to take a bite of us. How can I not cry poor and ask for debts?"

He nudged Li Xuewu with his arm and whispered, "No matter who the other party is, as long as he eats our food or stays in our hotel, give him a bill."

"It's time to ask for the money. It's their business whether to give it or not. It's our attitude whether to accept it or not."

Li Huaide pointed his chin at the riverbank under construction and said, "Just use the excuse that the project budget has exceeded the target and the factory's finances are tight, and cry and make a fuss."

"With all my crying and making a fuss, we can have peace and quiet by the end of the year, right?"

"hiss--"

Li Xuewu pretended to be surprised and took a deep breath, then quietly gave a thumbs up and said with admiration: "High, you are still high!"

"Hey--"

Li Huaide stretched out his hand and pressed down his thumb, smiled reservedly, and said: "It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

"You are still too modest—"

Li Xuewu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I will criticize you at the next organizational life meeting."

How big is Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone?
In fact, it is not that big. Including the Liangma River, it is less than ten square kilometers.

But we have to take into account that the Red Star Factory is located in the East City District of Beijing, which can be regarded as the core area of ​​future urban development.

At this time, the capital city had already planned and laid out the surrounding land.

What we can see is that when the Red Star Factory applied for industrial and residential land, the capital was very hesitant in approving it.

That is, the Red Star Factory agreed to replace 16 industrial enterprises and integrate them into a group-type enterprise headquartered in Beijing.

At the same time, supporting the capital's industry in building a complete steel rolling industry was allowed to requisition such a large area of ​​land.

The Liangmahe Industrial Zone designed and planned by Hongxing Factory integrates residential, industrial, educational, medical, scientific research and other projects, and builds an ecologically demonstrative industrial park based on the Liangmahe River.

From the perspective of urban planning and industrial development, Beijing supports the Red Star Factory in doing so.

But from the perspective of economic and urban development, what Red Star Factory did has a sense of regional autonomy.

An area that can accommodate 100,000 people for residence, education, work and life can be called a city.

Even though the Red Star Factory reported that it was an ecological industrial zone, it could not conceal the fact that a satellite city suddenly appeared outside the Second Ring Road.

Looking at history and the overall situation, what the Red Star Factory did was actually to place the postmodern advanced city rather abruptly into this era.

In the 60s, a small county town that existed for 24 years suddenly appeared outside the capital.

Of course, the contrast in urban construction is not as great as imagined.

Many of the equipment and facilities that small cities had in 24 years are impossible in this era.

There are no buildings more than ten stories high in the residential area of ​​Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone; most residential buildings are 6-9 stories high.

Thanks to the engineering design assistance of the Santaya Group, the residential area that has already started construction has a younger French minimalist style in its overall design.

Just as Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong discussed, Red Star Factory had no intention of holding on to this piece of land.

Of course, while providing permanent residence rights, it is impossible to provide housing to employees entirely according to the allocation system.

You can either replace your current urban residence, apply for it with cash, or take out a loan from the United Savings Bank.

The last one is to apply for guaranteed housing allocation.

The Red Star Factory retained the right to occupy the house and provided it to employees on a lease basis.

The most special type, and the one with the least housing supply, is the expert building.

No need to purchase or apply, it will be allocated entirely according to technical level and actual needs.

This method of supplying houses under construction at the Red Star Factory has received some criticism and opposition, but some people hope to stick with it because they want to purchase permanent residence rights.

At present, the housing management agencies have not yet formed a complete system for residential management, which also gives Red Star Factory more room for maneuver.

Employees who are replacing or purchasing houses are in one community, and guaranteed rental housing is in another community, which creates a differentiation.

If you think that the housing supply method proposed by Li Xuewu is contrary to the characteristics of the times, then you might want to learn more about the Fusuijing Building in Xicheng, the Beiguanting Building in Dongcheng and the Anhua Building on Guangqumennei Street.

Even more bizarre housing allocation methods, even stranger housing usage rights, and an even more confusing housing management system.

During this period, the development of everything is still under exploration, and no one dares to say what is right or wrong.

The residential area built by the Red Star Factory itself is supplied in the form of allocation, replacement, sale, and leasing. Without violating relevant regulations, no one can influence the implementation of this decision.

Many employees are dissatisfied and want the factory to provide free residential buildings.

The Red Star Factory Management Committee did not reject this request, but the residential area currently under construction does not take this into consideration.

In other words, the factory will not reject employees' applications for free residential buildings, but they have to wait.

When the factory has enough money, it will build a batch of protective residential buildings like the one it did last year.

Despite the tight financial situation last year, the Red Star Factory still built a number of residential buildings and provided free housing to families of employees in need.

However, as with leased housing, the ownership of the residence is in the hands of the Red Star Factory.

The Engineering Department has coordinated with the Propaganda Department to explain several supply models very clearly, and they have also been published in the factory newspaper.

Now that the residential area has begun to be built, all the workers are looking forward to it and making plans at the same time.

Do I have savings? How big a house can I buy with my current savings? How can I apply for a house without savings? How much loan can I apply for based on my salary?

Why doesn't anyone want to reject these factory mortgage options and choose to continue living in their existing homes?

There are several main reasons:
The first and most important thing is that the housing provided by Red Star Factory to its employees is at pure cost price.

Second, many employees currently do not own their own homes but rent them.

Third, these residential buildings have free heating, are close to work, and make living more convenient.

Fourth, there are too many children in the family and the existing house can no longer accommodate them.

……

Don't use the concepts and impressions of commercial housing in later generations to apply to housing in this era.

Not to mention what the quality of commercial housing will be like in the future, can it be supplied at pure cost?
If people in the future were to buy these houses from the Red Star Factory, they would be scrambled for them.

It was the same during this period. The factory would provide many free facilities for the residences, which was a benefit.

Shuttle bus, nursery, heating, gymnasium, tap water, bathhouse...

The Red Star Factory is building a threshold-type residential area with high welfare benefits and low living costs.

The workers may complain about why the houses were not allocated for free, but no one will refuse to buy them.

It's a very simple truth that even elementary school students can figure out: the welfare benefits you can enjoy when buying a house multiplied by a number of years is equal to the purchase price.

The attachment to houses and land is ingrained in the genes of the Chinese people.

Then someone asked, the Red Star Factory worked so hard to build the building, the housing, and the welfare facilities, but in the end they sold them at cost price?

That’s right, because the project was not profitable, Red Star Factory had no intention of making a profit on the residential project.

As long as the project is not profitable, no department can attack the decision of Red Star Factory.

"Deputy Director Li, it's time to get off work—"

Zhou Miaomiao was pushing a Comet motorcycle past the gate. When she saw Li Xuewu standing there, she greeted him with a smile.

Li Xuewu looked at the motorcycle she was pushing seriously and asked with a smile, "What's this wrapped in?"

"It's a knitted seat cover. I'm afraid it will get damaged if I ride it."

Zhou Miaomiao explained with a smile: "My mother is very careful. She even has sweaters on the thermos bottles at home."

"Haha, you are very careful——"

Li Xuewu smiled, looked her over, and continued to ask, "Does this car consume a lot of fuel? How much does it cost to fuel it per month?"

"I haven't really calculated this," Zhou Miaomiao was stunned by the question, then thought for a moment and said, "Now 70-grade gasoline is cents per kilogram, and a full tank costs less than cents, which is enough for more than a month's ride."

How big is the fuel tank on the Comet motorcycle?

That’s a little over four litres, about the same amount of water an adult drinks in a day.

But it can run much farther than an adult.

The fuel consumption is less than one liter per 500 kilometers, and it can barely travel kilometers. Otherwise, how could Zhou Miaomiao ride for a month without using up a tank of fuel?

Another thing is, she said one kilogram, which is actually about 1.2 liters, and the unit price is about cents.

Is this oil expensive?
"Well, one pound of meat takes more than a month to run."

Wang Yimin looked at the Comet motorcycle with great interest and joked, "Give me a pound of meat, and I can't run 500 kilometers."

"Haha, you can still calculate like this——"

Zhou Miaomiao smiled and said: "This is a machine, how can people compare it?"

"Are you jealous? Make a whole one——"

Zhou Yao smiled at Zhou Miaomiao, took the motorcycle from her, and sat on it.

"Well, it's more comfortable than riding a bicycle!"

"I can't afford it, it's over 400!"

Wang Yimin smiled and shook his head, looking at the motorcycle with some envy and said, "It's equivalent to a 10-square-meter house."

"Brother Wang, you are really good at calculating!"

Zhou Miaomiao joked, "It seems like you are planning to move to a bigger house?"

The factory has announced the standard replacement and purchase price for the residential area under construction, which is 40 yuan per square meter.

For people of this age, it is not cheap, but it is not daunting either.

If you work in the capital of the future, can you earn enough to buy one square meter of housing in a month?

Wang Yimin can do it. He is at the deputy section level and is in his eighties. He can buy two square meters a month. Is this housing price still expensive?

A formal worker who has just been working for a year earns about 33 yuan per month. How old are the workers generally at this age?

Around sixteen to eighteen years old.

Don’t believe it? If you have an elderly person who worked in the factory during that era, go and ask them when they started working.

According to the worker grade standards, which are generally assessed every three years, when a worker is around 22 years old, his salary can buy one square meter of house.

Of course, this is a calculation model under ideal conditions and can only be used as a reference.

However, given the basic situation in this era where all members of a worker's family work in the factory, their consumption capacity is not low.

Wang Yimin is almost fifty years old and has two children who are still in school. If he wants the whole family to live together, the house must be quite large.

"We can't compare with you young people. We have families to support, right?"

He smiled and looked at the people standing next to him. Everyone was looking at the motorcycle with envy.

The Red Star Factory produces its own motorcycles and has matched purchasing targets for each worker.

Within a year, you can ride a Comet motorcycle home for only 449 yuan.

It is October now, and all major supply and marketing cooperatives in Beijing and the Red Star Factory’s own brand demonstration store are clearing out their inventory every day.

Whatever is shipped from the Steel City can be sold out.

This lightweight motorcycle is in short supply due to its absolute price advantage.

While fully meeting the unit purchase targets, the quantity put on the market is not large.

Therefore, we can see that most of the people riding motorcycles on the streets are employees of units, and a small number are young people.

The young people in the factory have no resistance to motorcycles, and those who have money will definitely buy one.

However, Zhou Miaomiao did not buy this car herself. She saved all her salary.

The motorcycle given to me by my best friend is so good that I don’t feel sorry for riding it.

"We're still talking about booking a house," she looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Boss, when can we move into this residential area?"

"How would I know that I am afraid——"

Li Xuewu smiled and replied, "The specific time depends on the construction period. I know it won't be after the year after next at the latest."

"Why, you want to buy the house in our factory?"

"What should I do if I don't buy it? I have to wait for the factory to allocate housing to me?"

Zhou Miaomiao said helplessly: "A few years ago, I would have dared to think about it, but now? You're just dreaming."

Nowadays, there is little in the old city except for a lot of people.

There was no house to be divided up the year Li Xuewu started working, so he still got the house opposite because of his connections.

"When I married Zhou Tan, his parents gave me 1,000 yuan as a gift, and we planned to use it to buy a house."

Zhou Miaomiao explained: "We both earn a salary now. If we save for two years, we should be able to buy a house of 80 or 90 square meters."

"Okay, we are here to make you angry, right?"

Wang Yimin laughed and teased: "I have worked for most of my life and never dared to dream of a building of 80 or 90 square meters."

"Don't joke, I would believe what Section Chief Zhou said," Zhou Miaomiao smiled and hugged Zhou Yao's arm, and said to Wang Yimin, "If you say so, I don't believe it."

She gestured to Ren An who was standing aside and said, "My situation and Zhou Tan's situation are similar to Captain Ren's family. Ask Captain Ren if he can afford a house of 80 or 90 square meters."

Ren An's partner is Fan Hua, deputy section chief of the third section of the commission's office. Both of them have high salaries, so the housing issue is naturally not a big deal for them.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Miaomiao would call his name.

"Stop it, our family doesn't have a thousand yuan dowry."

"Hahaha--"

The people standing at the door laughed out loud, and Zhou Miaomiao also covered her mouth and laughed.

They are all cadres in the factory. Li Xuewu was inspecting the work here today and he just talked about it casually. No one really cared.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Li Xuewu looked at Zhou Yao's thoughtful expression and teased her deliberately, "Let's find someone to give a betrothal gift to."

"No--"

Zhou Yao blushed in embarrassment when she heard him say that, and said angrily, "I didn't think about that!"

"Hey, speaking of us, we also want to ask you something," she jumped off the motorcycle, motioned to Li Xuewu and asked, "How big a house do you plan to buy?"

"Hehe! You really asked the right question!"

Zhou Miaomiao covered her mouth and explained with a smile: "The factory stipulates that cadres above the department level are not allowed to buy houses."
-
In mid-October, Li Xuewu came to Gangcheng again.

This is my third business trip to Gangcheng this year.

The first time was when I accompanied Li Huaide to Gangcheng for investigation, and the second time was when I accompanied Jing Yunong to Gangcheng for investigation.

Jing Yunong was also accompanying him this time, but Cheng Kaiyuan and Robin, vice president of Santaya Group, were also present.

In September, the Red Star Factory officially supplied contracted domestic and foreign trade goods to the Santaya Group, and the Yingcheng Shipyard also began preparations for the construction of a 10,000-ton cargo ship.

Correspondingly, the Santaya Group also efficiently purchased oxygen top blowing steelmaking technology from Austria.

This time, Li Xuewu, accompanied by Jing Yunong and Cheng Kaiyuan, and accompanied Chantal to Gangcheng, was to discuss with Dong Wenxue the implementation of relevant technologies and technological innovation of the steel plant, and also to discuss the next step of technology introduction.

In fact, Li Xuewu did not know much about steelmaking technology. He listened to the engineers' speeches at the discussion meeting without fully understanding them, and he also had only a vague understanding of some of the professional terms.

If you ask him to talk about safety, sales, or engineering, he can still give some feasible ideas.

But if it comes to a particularly professional discussion meeting, he is only slightly better than Jing Yunong.

Why not talk about Cheng Kaiyuan?
Because Lao Cheng started out as a workshop director and was previously a full-time deputy factory director in charge of industrial production.

Although mechanical manufacturing and metallurgy do not have much to do with each other in terms of production business, they both belong to the steel industry.

So, when it comes to professional knowledge, Lao Cheng knows more than him, just look at his speeches at the meeting.

However, Li Xuewu is also studying. He is also reading books related to metallurgy and steelmaking. When talking with professors from the Iron and Steel Institute, he also asked many questions about things he did not understand.

He can do management, but he is definitely not capable of working in a full-time position in a workshop.

The main force in this meeting was not Li Xuewu, nor Cheng Kaiyuan and Jing Yunong.

It was mainly engineers from both sides who discussed the existing innovation and transformation plans for the steel plant.

In the next two years, the Santaya Group will act as a white glove to help the Red Star Factory introduce these advanced technologies from abroad, and the corresponding steel mill and rolling mill will complete technological innovation, transformation and construction within two years.

This project is so huge that the Red Star Factory cannot afford to build three 10,000-ton cargo ships to make up for it. It can only play a long game and try to complete the industrial technology innovation as soon as possible.

At the very least, after three years of rebirth, we must be able to catch up with Xiaoguiza's steel quality.

That’s right, even after spending huge amounts of money to import technologies from all over the world, we still have to work hard to catch up with the Chinese in steel production.

This is not inferiority complex, but the fact.

The original production model of steel mills and rolling mills was learned from the Russians, but it is now outdated.

If things really develop in this way, when the little bastards come to inspect ten years later, that pouty and disdainful face will appear in front of Li Xuewu.

Can he let the little devil ride on his face?
On the one hand, we must innovate the steel industry and not fall behind, and on the other hand, we must cooperate with it to narrow the gap in strength as soon as possible.

You work for the French for free, you work for the little devils for free, you work for Italy for free, are you willing to work for the Red Star Factory?

There is no other way. We must create foreign trade conditions as much as possible to exchange as much advanced technology and equipment as possible at a relatively low price before the technological blockade environment worsens.

Comparing all the countries in the world with us, there is no country whose development is more sad and more difficult than ours.

Those bastards look down on us and are afraid of us. They restrict us and threaten us in every way, and establish us as a threatening existence. Their hearts are extremely hateful.

Therefore, the more we are in such conditions and environment, the more we must stand up bravely and make those bastards kneel down and sing "Conquer".

Li Xuewu's ability is limited, but even a small change is still a change, at least it will prevent future generations from having to work so hard.

We are back to the top of the world, respected by the world, and have great scholars debate for us. Who knows how much we have paid?

A little bit at a time, Li Xuewu just wants to change a little bit.

A: Congratulations to Sichuan Province for losing its aircraft carrier!

B: Don't say I'm lazy! I sped up the process and passed the exam directly after explaining some of the content. Don't ask me why then.

C: Guess why Li Xuewu and Li Huaide think the situation in the newspaper is changing, and how it is changing?
