The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

night.

The dining table at Yi Zhonghai's house.

A family of three, quite cozy.

The aunt asked: "Lao Yi, the meeting to rectify the work style in your factory did not involve you, right?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't speak much and said simply: "No."

As long as everything is fine, the eldest mother was chatting, "I heard from Si Zhu that Xu Damao was criticized very badly in the police team."

Yi Zhonghai ate the steamed bun slowly without saying anything else.

The eldest mother said again: "The second uncle in the backyard seems to be in a bad mood today."

"When I came back in the evening, I saw him with a tigerish face."

Yi Zhonghai then spoke up: "His second uncle was also criticized in the factory. Many people said that he was easy on airs, bureaucratic, and unqualified to be a workshop director."

The eldest mother suddenly said: "So that's what happened."

This time we rectify our work style, criticize and self-criticize.

It is not only being carried out by the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, but also across the country, and the momentum is not small.

The duration is not short either.

After 10 days.

May 4, morning.

Another meeting of the security team of the rolling mill committee to rectify the work style ended.

Li Ming, who had a little pain in his head, returned to the office and saw Liu Haizhong waiting for him at the door of the office.

"Director Liu?" Liu Haizhong is the workshop director.

Liu Haizhong smiled and said flatteringly: "Deputy Leader Li, I have something to ask you for help."

In addition to being the chief of the security department, Li Ming is also the deputy leader of the security team under the steel rolling mill's security committee, similar to the original deputy director of the security department.

Li Ming had already guessed what he wanted to help with, but he didn't intend to help.

He opened the door and invited Liu Haizhong into the room, "I just happened to find a few taels of good tea leaves. Let's slowly drink tea together."

Where could Liu Haizhong still have the energy to drink tea and chat slowly, he followed him into the office and started to complain.

"Oh, it's so urgent now. I'm really not in the mood for tea."

Li Ming pretended not to know, and asked with a smile: "Second uncle, what kind of difficulty have you encountered?"

Liu Haizhong was full of words that he wanted to say out, "I don't know who is causing trouble for me. They are trying to stir up trouble for me in the fifth workshop."

"They say I don't know a few Chinese characters, don't study my thoughts seriously, and usually make a lot of mistakes."

"This is a blatant smear against me! I obviously have a high school education and study my thoughts very seriously."

Li Ming poured boiling water to make tea, and did not forget to echo: "Justice is in the heart of the people. Don't worry, they can't slander you."

Liu Haizhong also took the opportunity to sit on the sofa chair, "There is something even more irritating!"

"They also said that I have the style of an old bureaucracy. I cheated and cheated when I was participating in the workshop production. I am not a life-conscious orderly and am not qualified to be a workshop director."

"My technical level is high, so I must be mainly giving guidance to the workers. I can't be mainly engaged in processing parts, right?"

"They spread such rumors about me. Do you think this is irritating?"

Liu Haizhong became angrier as he spoke.

Li Ming advised kindly: "It's quite irritating. But you need to calm down first. It's not worth it to be so angry."

Liu Haizhong explained his purpose and asked: "Xiao Ming, you are an expert in investigating cases. Can you help me find out who is behind this?"

"If this continues, I, the workshop director, will not be able to sit still."

Li Ming smiled and said: "Second uncle, you have found the wrong person."

"You need to talk to Xu Damao about this matter. Their police team is now in charge of this matter."

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "I asked Xu Damao. Xu Damao said that there were many tasks assigned in the factory, and he didn't even complete the tasks given by Director Li. He didn't have time to check."

"Second uncle, your attitude is indeed too high. I guess you have forgotten Xu Damao's rules about helping others."

"You mean I didn't do Xu Damao any favors?"

"What kind of virtue is Xu Damao? It's not like you don't know. If you don't give me benefits, Xu Damao will definitely not do anything for you."

The bangs center thought that this was the case, and felt a little awkward for a moment. It turned out that Xiao Xu was fooling himself.

His status as the director of the workshop and the second uncle of the courtyard seemed to be difficult for Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao is too naughty. I'm not a stingy person like Lao Yan."

Li Ming poured a cup of tea for Liu Haizhong, "People are different."

"Xu Damao has always been a hawk before he sees a rabbit. You need to be more realistic with him."

Liu Haizhong asked again without giving up: "Is this place really inappropriate for you?"

"I'm keeping a low profile in the factory right now, and I'm not doing anything. My great achievements have shocked the master, so I might be doing you a disservice."

It's okay for Li Ming to take care of it, but he has a small account in mind.

The last time I did the imitation work on the instant noodle production line, Liu Haizhong was not interested and left midway.

Now it was Liu Haizhong's turn to have trouble. Naturally, he watched from the other side and was even happy to see Liu Haizhong being pulled down.

In the No. 95 courtyard, the neighbors are also very tired of Liu Haizhong's official tone.

In particular, in contrast to Section Chief Li, who is polite, respects the elderly and cares for the young, the one with a higher position is more approachable.

Liu Haizhong's image in the hospital plummeted.

No one talks in front of Liu Haizhong, but there are a lot of gossips and complaints behind her back.

Li Ming did not help Liu Haizhong keep his position, which could be regarded as complying with the public sentiment of the Siheyuan.

After fooling Liu Haizhong away, Section Chief Li signed some documents and skipped work to go to Hong Kong City.

Central.

Federal Building.

Lou Xiao'e is sitting on the boss's chair, looking like a smart and capable strong woman.

"Sales of instant noodles recovered somewhat last week, with a total of 56 bags and 280 million bags of various flavors sold."

“Because we announced last Tuesday that shrimp and fish pan noodles temporarily ranked first in sales, as a result, the sales of shrimp and fish pan noodles are even further ahead.”

"The sales volume of mushroom stewed chicken and pork bone soup are only about 6 bags, which is not more than 10 bags of braised beef."

"Two production lines have been changed to produce shrimp and fish pan noodles."

Li Ming drank milk tea and said with some surprise: "This will have a big impact on whether you win the lottery!"

"People in Hong Kong City are really good at gambling."

Lou Xiao'e added: "If other manufacturers also produce instant noodles, the prizes in the lottery will be richer than ours. We can't compete with our competitors for prizes, right?"

I used to think that I could retain customers with my own unique secret recipe and taste.

According to the current situation, it seems that the customers in Hong Kong City are not very loyal to taste and will easily be lured away by the lottery.

Li Ming didn't expect people in Hong Kong City to be so realistic. "If there are competitors, we may really have to start a price war."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "We need to start strengthening the company's management process."

"The wages we give workers are much higher than the ordinary level, and the labor costs are much higher than others."

“There is not much profit margin for wholesalers and stores.”

"If someone really competes with us, we will be beaten to a pulp."

Li Ming asked: "Have you heard any rumors that someone is going to enter the instant noodle industry?"

Lou Xiao'e took two sips of milk tea to moisten her throat and said, "Not yet." "There are people asking about our factories on Xixiang Street and Changfa Industrial Building."

"Someone must be planning it."

Li Ming said nonchalantly: "The soldiers will block the water and the soil will cover us up. At worst, we will have a price war in the instant noodles business."

"The noodle business will be relatively less affected."

"Our ham sausage is about to be launched, and Mars Trading has enough profits to fight a price war."

Lou Xiao'e said with a happy face: "The ham sausage tastes very fragrant when grilled and is quite delicious. It should be a big seller."

"You women all love to eat ham sausage."

Lou Xiao'e, who understood, rolled her eyes at him and always liked to tease her from time to time.

“We have organized five free sausage-making technical trainings.”

"Most of the shopkeepers and stall owners who are willing to learn have learned it from places such as docks, stations, schools and other places with large crowds of people."

"Based on the feedback from the Mars trading salesperson, many of the people I learned from earlier have already purchased the equipment and are waiting for our products to be launched."

Li Ming asked: "How many ham sausages are in stock?"

Lou Xiao'e knew it well, "Manager Lin Changjiu reported in the morning that there were 50 sticks. In the past two days, it can reach the full production capacity of 10 sticks per day."

"10 sticks per day is almost enough in the Hong Kong City market. When your elder brother comes later, ask him to go to Riben to place an order for two production lines."

"Ham sausage is a pork product, so it's hard to sell it in Southeast Asia, right?"

"The country also has more than 3000 million people, and its per capita GDP is US$200, which is no worse than that of the Southern Dynasties."

Hearing Li Ming mention the country of Ding, Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Yes, I forgot about the country of Ding. The market is not small."

"Speaking of import and export matters. Deputy Manager Lu Hanliang has returned from Guangzhou. I asked him to rest at home for a day. I will report to you about the Canton Fair tomorrow."

This year's Spring Canton Fair opened as scheduled on April 4 after many efforts.

The ‘big housekeeper’ worked hard on this matter.

April 4 "Several Notices on the Successful Opening of the Spring Guangzhou Export Commodities Fair"

Then in the early morning of April 4th, the affairs of Mongolia Province were handled, and at 14 o'clock, he immediately flew to Guangzhou to talk to all parties in person.

‘Some of the ‘old things’ at the Canton Fair are actually ordinary decorations. For example, we don't use drawing yarn, but in foreign countries, even workers use it. "

"Why can't we serve them? If we don't sell it, they have to buy it from other countries.'

‘The exchange of exported goods for foreign exchange cannot be said to be ‘foreign exchange in command’ or ‘notes on banknotes’. With foreign exchange, we can exchange for machinery, steel, etc. to speed up national construction, and it can also be used to support... ’

‘Don’t be afraid of selling handicrafts, embroidered slippers, and jade carvings to capitalists, or be afraid of corrupting them? ’

‘Isn’t it good that they get a little stone and we get foreign exchange? Jewelry is not necessarily worn by capitalists. It is also used by our ethnic minorities. These exhibits cannot be removed. ’

‘The trade fair that opens tomorrow should be regarded as a new battle, and we must ensure that this fair is held well. ’

After patiently talking and explaining, the persuasion was finally successful.

There is such a big trade exhibition, not far from the port city.

Li Ming selected Lu Hanliang, deputy manager of Mars Trading, to visit the exhibition and look for some import and export business opportunities.

"I originally wanted to see it in person. Unfortunately, the steel rolling mill can't take long leave."

Lou Xiao'e said casually: "Manager Lu said there is nothing interesting to see. He has brought back a promotional brochure. The quantity is quite large. I have to check it in. I should receive it tomorrow."

"In addition to listening to what he said, you can also look at those promotional brochures."

Li Ming also played two shots with some dates and no dates, "Okay."

Lou Xiao'e took two more sips of milk tea, "Where did you buy the milk tea? It's delicious."

"I bought it downstairs."

"Then every time you come to see me, bring me a cup of milk tea."

"You already have it yourself, why do you want to drink so much!"

"Humph!"

"Hehe, I forgot that you can't drink from yourself, but you can drink from Sister Qin."

"You're going to die!" Lou Xiao'e stood up and prepared to gag him.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong.

"Please come in."

The uncle and consultant Huang Fuyi came in and greeted each other for a while.

Lou Xiao'e was sitting on the boss's chair, taking a pencil and spinning it around. She learned it from Li Ming, and her expression was very calm.

"Brother, I want you to go on a business trip again. Go to Japan to purchase two production lines and come back."

The elder brother-in-law said speechlessly: "No! Lawyer Liang and I have just returned from Singapore."

"Lawyer Liang and I were dizzy when setting up the Singapore branch."

"All the procedures have not been completed yet. I have to fly to Singapore later."

Lou Xiao'e explained with a smile: "The ham sausage is about to be put on the market, so we need to add two production lines to prepare for emergencies."

My eldest uncle still doesn’t want to go abroad right away. The airplane experience these days is not very good.

Not all the aircraft used on the route from Singapore to Hong Kong City are jet civil aircraft.

波音707、麦道DC-8、康维尔880等机型才刚来哑洲，波音747这样的经典机型要1970年才交付使用。

The uncle suggested: "You can use Yoshida Seiki's technicians at the ham sausage factory to help place orders, and add additional production line orders with their company."

"Yoshida Company is definitely willing to prepare for production first. After a few days, I will fly to Japan to sign the contract and pick up the goods."

The matter is not urgent and the method is feasible. Lou Xiao'e agreed: "This is fine."

dong dong dong, dong dong dong.

Lou Xiao'e said: "Please come in."

The person who came in this time was Tang Hongde from Mars Trading. After greeting a few people, he walked up to Li Ming and whispered in Li Ming's ear:

"Director Li. Those gangsters you taught in Tan Chen Road last time, they want you to be their boss."

Li Ming asked in disbelief: "Those little gangsters want me to be their boss?"

Tang Hongde nodded, "That's right."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the chairman's office was stunned.

Lou Xiao'e forgot to turn the pen, and the pencil fell straight to the floor.

Li Ming was also confused, "What kind of brains do they have? How could they come up with such a bad idea?"

Tang Hongde said with certainty: "The salesperson at Tanchendao reported it to me first. I have confirmed it again and again that this is really the case."

"You go and reject them. I can't afford to lose that person."

Tang Hongde said cautiously: "Actually, you can think about it again. This is also a force."

Gangs are a reality in Hong Kong. Some people have many inconvenient things to do, so they ask some middlemen to send messages to gangs for help.

Some people are even directly related to gangs, such as gamblers and smugglers.

But Li Ming obviously doesn't have any use for it, "I only became the boss of those people because I have lost my mind."

"How depraved do I have to be to be the leader of a gang with only a few dozen people? I'm not even close to being the Commissioner of the Police Department!"

My eldest uncle had many guesses about this brother-in-law's identity, and he still felt it was natural to hear his somewhat arrogant words.

It shouldn't be a problem for a well-known crime-solving expert in Beijing to be a division chief in Hong Kong City.

Not to mention Lou Xiao'e. Even though Li Ming wanted to be the governor of Hong Kong, she also felt that her man was capable of the job.

Tang Hongde and Huang Fuyi did not expect that Director Li was so confident. (End of chapter)
