Wang Lu, the head of Steel City Industry, is a lesbian, but she is also a veteran of alcohol tests, and her drinking ability is not inferior to that of ordinary gay men.

But after having a few drinks with Li Xuewu, she wisely stepped back, knowing that Deputy Director Lu was in trouble today.

Seeing Li Xuewu defeating everyone on his side and attacking him at the same time, Lu Qiming was also a little panicked. How the hell are you abandoning me?

He also used Li Huaide's words to ask about the reason for returning to his hometown. He had never heard that Li Xuewu was from the Northeast.

But one thing he felt was that Li Xuewu spoke with a Northeastern accent, but not completely.

Northeasterners are very sensitive to foreign accents, especially those who left the Northeast and returned after traveling around the South.

It doesn't take long, just half a year, and you can definitely hear the change in accent.

But at this time, it was rare to hold cross-regional appointments, especially since Li Xuewu was young.

After hearing Li Xuewu's introduction that the old lady in his family was from the Northeast, Lu Qiming used the old lady's events from that period to talk about the past events in the Northeast, and by the way extended it to industry.

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

"It is indeed quite difficult. The difficulty is not the technology. It would be a pity if it were the technology."

After the meal, Lu Qiming invited Li Huaide and Li Xuewu to the reception room for tea.

He grinned and said with great regret: "The No. 1 Machinery Factory is very skilled. The machine tools it has designed for several large enterprises have received praise and praise. This is a visible achievement."

"However, we must admit that technology has developed over the years, but management has reached a dead end, especially the ability to resist risks."

There were not many people in the reception room. On the Red Star Factory side were Li Huaide and Li Xuewu, as well as their secretaries Li Haiyang and Peng Xiaoli.

On the Liaodong side were Lu Qiming, Yu Han, Hu Ke, and Wang Lu, the head of Steel City Industry.

A secretary was doing service work, and no one else was present, so he spoke freely.

"This is what I am most dissatisfied with about No. 1 Machinery Factory."

Lu Qiming frowned and pointed to the door, and said seriously: "If you focus on the head but not the bottom, in the end the product quality will seriously decline, the technical staff will be lost, and it will be a mess."

While they were having dinner, Liu Chodong, the head of the No. 1 Machinery Factory, caught up with them.

His original intention was to contact Red Star Factory to communicate privately and strive for some opportunities.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Lu Qiming was here. He was already here and did not dare to leave. He only hoped to meet with the Red Star Factory.

On the way to the reception room just now, Lu Qiming ignored him, and when he was at the door, he didn't even ask him to come in to participate in the meeting.

Therefore, Liu Chok Tong was standing in the corridor at the moment, and Lu Qiming's words were also said to him, just to make him ashamed.

"Why did you invite the Red Star Factory to Liaodong, and why did I arrange for you to visit and conduct research at Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory?"

Lu Qiming didn't drink too much, but his face was very red. He still spoke clearly and coherently, but his tone was more emotional.

"I feel sorry for the foundation of Northeastern industry. I can't bear to see the meritorious factories rotting under my nose. I feel sad."

He said sincerely: "I have learned about the Red Star Mill carefully. Comrade Hu Ke told me that there is a Red Star Rolling Mill in the capital. It has already begun preparations for promotion. It is said that it will develop greatly and move forward."

"I said, what's the point? Let's not talk about the Northeast, let's talk about Liaodong. Which year doesn't produce a few promotions, and what year doesn't produce a few key enterprises?"

"But, Comrade Hu Ke told me that the industrial indicators of the steel rolling mill before and after the big study activity increased several times."

"He also told me that the Hongxing Factory's foreign trade openings caused a quarrel between the First Machinery Department and the Foreign Economic and Trade Department. He also said that the total investment in five years would be 80 million. Good guy, I was immediately stunned."

"Eighty million, not to mention Fengcheng, even in Liaodong and Northeast China, no company dares to invest 80 million in five years."

Lu Qiming said with emotion: "I worked in Factory No. 17, and I know very well the core goals and key points of corporate investment. As soon as the 80 million figure came out, I knew that I was being tricked."

"Hehehe——"

Everyone was amused by his words, and Hu Ke quietly interjected and explained: "Director Lu was also present at the time, and he didn't believe it either, so he still asked."

"Who can believe it?"

Lu Qiming himself also smiled, patted the armrest of the sofa and said, "I almost scolded Hu Ke for lying about military intelligence. Later, he brought me investigation materials and newspapers for me to read."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The hardware industry feeds back the metallurgical industry, the metallurgical industry drives the automobile industry, the automobile industry connects to the shipbuilding industry... After this series of industrial development, I know the Red Star Factory."

"Hahaha, you're so grateful. In fact, we are just trying to cross the river by feeling the stones."

Li Huaide smiled so hard that he couldn't hold back his smile. It didn't matter if others praised him. He was the deputy director in charge of industry in Liaodong.

"When we first started working on the three-year plan and the five-year plan, we were also very scared. We were afraid that we would not be able to meet the task targets and that we would be exaggerating."

"Hey - I don't think so."

Lu Qiming waved his hand and said, "As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is any."

He said: "I don't look at anything else, and I can't understand it. I only look at the changes and development of your factory, and it immediately clicked on me!"

"It started in early 1966, and it's only been a year and a half now. This kind of change is not something you can just cross the river by feeling for the stones."

Lu Qiming pointed to Yu Han, Wang Lu and others sitting next to him and said, "I'll give them one and a half years, and ask them if they dare to talk about groupization?"

"I don't dare, so I'm here to learn from it." Wang Lu, the head of Steel City Industry, said with a smile: "I talked with Director Dong of the Hongxing Steel City Steelmaking Plant. It was also the Hongxing Plant that laid out the steel city to build a mixture of light and heavy industries.

Witnesses of the industry.”

"Look, Comrade Wang Lu also said that she can see more clearly than I can. She's down there."

Lu Qiming smiled and nodded at her, and said to Li Huaide and Li Xuewu: "I criticized her that day because she doesn't know how to behave or do things at all."

"A Red Star Factory has successively invested in the hardware industry, electronics industry, automobile industry, allied industry, etc. in the steel city. It has even revolutionized the metallurgical industry. Such an important investment cannot be seen. How on earth is it doing its work?"

He said in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "If it were me, I would have bought a train ticket to go to Beijing. I would definitely visit the Red Star Factory. Thank you for your trust and support. Thank you for settling the company in the steel industry."

City."

"Yes, this is a mistake in my work. I don't have enough understanding of industrial services. I will make a serious review. Next, I will communicate more and get closer to Director Li and Deputy Director Li."

Wang Lu also took this opportunity to criticize Lu Qiming in a half-joking and relaxed tone, and at the same time apologized to Red Star Factory.

Li Huaide smiled and waved his hand and said: "There is really no need to be so polite. Our factory does not look at these relationships when investing in and building enterprises."

His words answered the polite attitude of Lu Qiming and Wang Lu, and then said: "The industrial investment environment in Steel City is good. I can see it without you, Deputy Director Wang, coming to me."

"Our factory has a large layout in Steel City. It aims to build a complete integrated industrial system, not to engage in isolated industrial alliances."

Li Huaide explained: "We have chosen the heavy industry foundation of Steel City and the heavy industry foundation of Liaodong, so we need to build integrated industries and build supporting industries."

"That's the supply chain system our Deputy Director Li mentioned at the morning meeting."

He looked at Lu Qiming and asked: "Deputy Director Lu, let me give you some data and you will understand why we need to develop a supply chain system."

"The 212 Jeep that is being produced by Beijing First Automobile Factory has all types of parts produced and assembled independently. What is its price?"

This question stopped Lu Qiming. He really hadn't paid attention to this matter.

But Yu Han knew better, so he took the initiative and answered softly: "Here in Liaodong, the purchase price of the 212 Jeep is 31,000 yuan."

"Thirty thousand, do you think this price is expensive or cheap?"

After Li Huaide asked, he continued to introduce without waiting for his answer: "The Red Star Factory also built a Jeep, the Red Star Antelope Jeep."

"It is no worse than the 212 Jeep in terms of performance, but it is completely different in terms of production model. Except for the core components and advantageous components that we produce ourselves or jointly with industries, everything else relies on the supply chain system."

He looked at Lu Qiming and asked, "Do you know how much the red star antelope from our factory sells for?"

“The basic version of Red Star Antelope City is priced at 7,980 yuan, and the full-height version is priced at 9,980 yuan.”

"The lowest price of the Red Star series is the engineering model, which is only 7,180 yuan."

The price Li Huaide said made Lu Qiming and others stunned. They thought they had drunk too much and heard wrongly.

“The performance is similar, but the price is three times different”

He said very seriously: "This is the supply chain system we are working on."

"Except for core components, everything else is commissioned for production and procurement?"

Lu Qiming frowned and asked: "But in addition to dealing with policy risks, how to ensure process risks? You can't be sure that the production of all parts is qualified, right?"

"Yes, this is also an advantage of the supply chain, because our procurement is not in the correct unit."

Li Huaide said: "For a screw, we have to deliver it to at least a dozen factories. Whoever can guarantee that their workmanship is qualified will be able to provide this screw to the supply chain after passing the assessment."

"We don't just want this one, we may want three, five, or all of the dozens of entrusted companies, but we will distinguish the signs and follow up the assessment."

"If the workmanship of the commissioned workpiece is not up to standard, then we will deduct the balance payment to offset this part of the loss, and also remind supply chain companies to be cautious about product quality issues."

Li Huaide spread his hands and said: "Compared to the price advantage, when comparing other risks, we believe that as long as we have a reasonable system, we can limit this risk."

"Well, it's really worth thinking about, the supply chain system." Lu Qiming frowned and made a note in his notebook, then nodded and said, "It seems that there is a reason for the success of the Red Star Factory."

"You're so polite. It's all for the sake of organizing the work. We have also experienced ups and downs."

Li Huaide said modestly: "The problems and difficulties that No. 1 Machinery Factory is facing are actually the same ones we have encountered before, and we empathize with them."

"At the beginning, accidents occurred frequently and workers were not very motivated to produce. It was Deputy Director Li who supervised production safety, which led to today's achievements."

Li Xuewu held Li Huaide in his arms when he spoke. Now when Li Huaide talks about issues, he usually talks with Li Xuewu in his arms.

The tacit understanding and cooperation between the two people is also the reason why Liaodong Industrial personnel respect and admire them.

Lu Qiming nodded clearly, understanding the meaning of Li Huaide's words, but he still fought for No. 1 Machinery Factory: "I heard that you also have a joint industrial project."

He gestured to the door and said: "The No. 1 Machinery Factory still has the technology and foundation. I wonder if there is any possibility of cooperation in this area?"
