The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 68 What's Important
Li Huaide's meeting really gave the Ministry of First Machine Building a lot of shock. New technology, new materials and safe production were all remarkable achievements.

Next, those who deserved praise were praised, and those who deserved criticism were criticized. Only Li Huaide, who had just taken over the steel mill, received a standing ovation.

After the meeting, Li Huaide was stopped by several familiar factory managers. They were all old comrades, and since you are the only one who shines today, you must be treated to a meal.

Li Huaide also readily agreed and had mutton hotpot at Donglaishun in the evening.

Li Huaide asked his boss's secretary Xiao Ke to stop him and said, "Director Li, several leaders asked you to go to the office to discuss the new car issue."

Li Huaide almost jumped for joy. The leader wanted to talk to him alone. There was a lot of meaning in this. The more attention the steel mill received, the brighter Li Huaide's future would be.

When they arrived at the leader's office, the three senior leaders were all there, which was a bit like a three-court trial. Li Huaide's father-in-law became more and more satisfied with his son-in-law.

"Tell me about that ATV of yours."

Li Huaide could only parrot what Liu Hua had said to him, and he was well prepared, taking out a stack of information from his briefcase.

"Leaders, this is the information about the all-terrain vehicle." Li Huaide handed the information to the senior leader in the middle respectfully: "Of course, we are only looking at it from the perspective of engineering design. The army needs to dig deeper to find out what other specific uses it has."

The leader pointed directly at the phone on his desk and said, "Call your factory and ask them to drive the other two cars over."

After Li Huaide hung up the phone, the boss's words made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.

"If this car is as useful as you say, then your factory is not capable of producing it." The big boss said directly: "In all likelihood, we will hand it over to BAIC Group. After all, your factory is not specialized in producing cars."

Li Huaide argued: "Leader, you are a bit biased. After all, it is designed and manufactured by our factory. We have more experience."

Li Huaide's father-in-law also said seriously at this time: "Nonsense, when it comes to manufacturing and producing vehicles, your factory is not as experienced as BAIC. If this car is really as important as you say, it requires large-scale equipment. Can your factory expand production in a short time?"

After pausing for a moment, he pointed at Li Huaide and said angrily, "I have taught you so many times that you should not be so short-sighted. This is the credit of your factory, and we will not bury it. However, how to allocate it specifically needs to be considered from the overall perspective."

It's time to cry and complain, because only the crying child gets the milk.

Li Huaide pretended to be aggrieved deliberately. He knew that the overall situation could not be changed, so he had to get more benefits for himself.

"Our factory has really worked hard in the last two months for these cars, mobilizing countless manpower and material resources, and even gave up the final production task." Li Huaide said angrily, "Beijing Auto can just take advantage of what's already provided, while we can't get any benefits. How can I explain this to the people in the factory when I go back?"

"Pretend, keep pretending." Li Huaide's father-in-law slammed the table and said, "Obey the overall arrangement, don't you know?"

The big boss smiled and said, "Then the steel mill can't complain about taking away a ready-made project. I understand. That's what I think."

After the leader said this, the others were in awe and had to listen carefully to every word, especially Li Huaide. It was related to his future and he could not be careless in the slightest. "The manufacturing project can be assigned to BAIC, but didn't you say that new metal materials are needed? You are a steel rolling mill with a smelting workshop, so you will provide the new materials."

Another leader nodded and said, "I agree. During the meeting just now, Xiao Li also mentioned that there are several new types of materials. We should evaluate them together to see if they are useful. If the usage is large, we can expand the steel mill to build a few more smelting workshops."

Li Huaide's father-in-law signaled to Li Huaide with his eyes, saying that it's better to quit while you're ahead, as this condition is already very good.

After receiving the signal, Li Huaide pretended to think about it and said, "Okay, we will obey the leader's arrangement."

The driver of the steel rolling mill drove the other two cars over, but was taken directly to a military camp by the three leaders and taken over by three veteran car soldiers.

After the outsiders left, the rapid test drive began, which lasted for half a day.

It is better to keep it secret from outsiders as to what happened next, but when Li Huaide left, he drove away a 70% new jeep. As for the three cars just mentioned, the top leader said that they had nothing to do with their steel mill.

The next day, Liu Hua should have been able to continue resting, but leaders and a large number of colleagues from all over the country came to visit.

Li Huaide specially asked driver Han to pick up Liu Hua in the morning. As the main person in charge of the machine tool transformation, he couldn't explain clearly without him on the scene.

This time, the steel rolling mill welcomed the largest visiting group since its establishment. Li Huaide, who was waiting at the door, was smiling with his eyes wide open.

He put his hands on his hips and was secretly proud of himself. Under the leadership of the previous factory leaders, especially Director Yang, the steel rolling mill had never been as prosperous as it is today. It was under the wise leadership of me, Li Huaide, that the current situation was achieved. I am so proud.

At nine o'clock, several buses transported the factory directors who attended the meeting yesterday to the steel rolling mill. The first three jeeps carried three leaders.

"welcome."

Li Huaide trotted over and shook hands with the three leaders first, then shook hands with all the factory directors and leaders one by one, saying hello non-stop: "Welcome, welcome, everyone, welcome to visit our steel rolling mill."

Several familiar factory managers joked with Li Huaide: "Old Li, this is the gate of your steel rolling mill. It doesn't look that good. Li Huaide, you don't care about the appearance at all."

Li Huaide waved his hand: "Go, go, go. What's so important about the appearance? What's important is the inside. Isn't the inside of our steel mill very good this year? The results are remarkable."

Liu Hua and his colleagues from the technical department were already waiting in the workshop. As the main presenter, Yi Zhonghai was dressed very smartly today. He even polished the machine tools to a shine and kept the surroundings spotless.

Li Huaide led everyone into the third workshop. Guo Dapiezi saw people coming from a distance and immediately ran into the workshop, shouting, "Director, Director, visitors are coming, hurry up and get ready."

Director Zhou straightened his Mao suit, looked at his subordinates, and cleared his throat: "Everyone, work hard and don't let outsiders find fault with you."
