The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Ming thought about it, and it seemed that it was exactly what Lou Xiao'e said, "You are right."

"These two recent incidents are quite serious. Tell your parents and sister-in-law to pay more attention to safety."

Lou Xiao'e is very satisfied that her husband can think of her natal family, "I have been reminding them."

"They also know the severity. The float parade on the 5th was very lively, but my mother and the others didn't go to see it."

Li Ming is basically indifferent to these lively activities, "There will be more opportunities to see them in the future."

Lou Xiao'e discussed: "In the future, we will hold exhibitions by ourselves and arrange celebrations by ourselves. It will be easy to see whatever we want."

Li Ming said casually: "The chairman is grand!"

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and asked doubtfully: "You told me that the exhibition is very profitable?"

Li Ming explained: "I'm talking about high profit margins. In fact, the revenue is not high, it's just a small amount of money. Things are quite complicated, and you must be too lazy to bother."

Regardless of instant noodles, ham sausages, or the clocks and toy Rubik's cubes that are being promoted, the shipment volume is very impressive.

Lou Xiao'e is not very interested in things that are small in quantity. "I definitely won't get involved if I have little money and many things to do. My energy is limited and it's not worth spending it."

"The Rubik's Cube, there is a customer who wants to sell it to Dongou and Suguo markets. I asked Manager Tang to inform the customer that the goods will not be available until next year."

The population is large and the consumption level is not bad. Just come and go if you have it. Li Ming has no objection to this.

"How is your eldest brother's progress in Magnesium Country?"

Lou Xiao'e leaned back on his shoulder again, "No telegram was sent back today."

"According to the shipping schedule, the cargo ship transporting the Rubik's Cube will arrive at the Port of San Francisco either today or tomorrow. I guess there will be a telegram tomorrow or the day after."

"Nowadays, the monthly telegraph fee is a huge expense. I think the telegraph company is the one that can make money once and for all."

Li Ming saw clearly, "Telecommunication companies such as telegraph and telephone are profitable businesses that require licenses no matter which country they are in."

"Xingchen Company has no relevant government connections, so it has no chance. But we can participate as investors and get a share of the pie."

Lou Xiao'e asked lazily: "Is it like the real estate business you plan to do? When the time comes to buy the stocks of those companies, we will not participate in the management, and we will only receive the appreciation and dividends."

Li Ming chatted: "It's different. The stocks issued by telecommunications companies are already at high prices, and there are few chances of plummeting. It may not be cost-effective to buy them from the market."

“The telecommunications industry has a problem with technological advancement, and licenses have to be rebid for every advancement.”

"If you want to bid, you must form a consortium. In this way, we can find opportunities to get involved."

Lou Xiao'e doubted: "They have a good business, are they willing to let us in?"

"If they don't want to, we can make trouble. Make trouble during the bidding and let them know what it means to be wealthy. If we withdraw, they will naturally compensate us."

It was purely a card-making robbery. Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "Bad guy!"

Li Ming said cheerfully: "That's how doing business in capital markets like Magnesium and Ouzhou. It's useless to talk about anything. The key is to have money."

"When a businessman is accused of being dishonest, cunning, or morally corrupt, they don't care at all."

"If you accuse them of running out of money and going bankrupt, that's really a big deal."

Lou Xiao'e said softly: "We don't want to become that kind of person in the future."

Li Ming reassured: "It won't happen for sure. We are not pretending to be money-minded."

"Without external pressure, being able to take the initiative to increase wages and benefits for employees is already fundamentally different from them."

When talking about the treatment, Lou Xiaoe thought about it and said: "Our school building in Tsuen Wan has been built."

"According to what you said, the Hong Kong City matter will be resolved in December. Then we can start recruiting teachers now, and we can teach the second half of the semester at the beginning of next spring."

Li Ming didn't want to cause trouble. "We will recruit again in December. The probation period will be until the end of the semester. Except for the first month, we will be paid the probation period salary, and the following months will be paid the official salary."

"You want to decide based on teaching performance, right?"

"Yes. The students who enter the school are evenly distributed, and the total average scores are roughly divided into classes. Then the homework is calculated. In the end, it is clear at a glance who teaches well and who teaches poorly."

"Everything is data, no one can fish in the water under your hands."

"You can do that. You will be Teacher Lou later and teach me foreign languages."

"Really, there's really nothing I can do about you."

. . .

oh! So soft.
. . .

Day two.

Li Ming sent Lou Xiao'e to Central first, and then went to work in the steel rolling mill.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

After pedaling a few times, Li Ming caught up with Qin Huairu who was riding a bicycle.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him. She went to work so late. Needless to say, she went to Hong Kong City first.

Li Ming smiled and said, "Sister Qin, come to my office later."

Qin Huairu said with a straight face, "I have nothing to report. The mechanical equipment research team has made no new progress recently."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "I will arrange a new task for you."

"It's the same now."

"Confidential mission. It's not appropriate to talk about it on the road."

Qin Huairu reluctantly went to the security department chief's office.

"Can we talk now?"

"My dear Sister Qin, you are very unusual now. Be careful about gossip about you in the factory."

"What can I say?"

"Section Chief Li has a girlfriend. Qin Huairu has stopped reporting to Chief Li recently."

"I can't be avoiding suspicion!"

"I see, Qin Huairu was probably warned by Section Chief Li's girlfriend, telling Qin Huairu to stay away from Chief Li."

"Hmph! It could also be my own initiative."

Li Ming put his arm around her shoulders and said, "People with crooked lips won't believe it. And for such a charming little widow, some people may have other little thoughts and want to cause trouble for you."

"I do it for your own good, so that the gossip will not affect the three Banggeng brothers and sisters."

With the steps in hand, Qin Huairu gave up when she saw the opportunity, "It's not all because of you. It's better for you to find several women in the port city than one in the capital."

Li Ming coaxed her and did not forget to tease her, "It's all my fault, I will change it! Next time I will find a woman in Hong Kong City."

"How dare you! Let's see if Lou Xiao'e will peel off your skin and bite you off directly."

"Hehe, it can break her teeth."

"De Xing, it's nothing important. I'll go back to Purchasing Section 3."

"It's okay. Your most important task tonight is to clean yourself and wait for me."

After enduring it for several days, she really missed him and her momentum could not be weakened. Qin Huairu gave him a blank look and twisted her waist to return to the office building.

The first phase of various study classes at the steel rolling mill has ended, and a new group of people are starting the second phase. The number of meetings that Section Chief Li has to attend has been greatly reduced.

Li Ming made tea and opened the newspaper with very skillful movements.

'Suihua and other locomotive depots have made great achievements in saving coal! '

'Changgouyu and other coal mines in western Beijing save coal for their own use! '

'Xiahuayuan Coal Mine has completed its annual production tasks! '

'How much coal is produced in the mining area, how much coal is transported by train! "It's been several days since the Beginning of Winter. It's no joke. The task of ensuring the supply of heating coal is very heavy."

Li Ming had previously asked some employees of the ham sausage processing plant to dig coal in Mentougou. The steel rolling mill's heating coal supply this year was relatively loose.

He did another great thing for the factory and was well received.

The headlines of the newspaper were quickly scanned. Section Chief Li patrolled the factory and then the processing plant in Haidian.

He just returned to the office.

Fan Jiawen came to the door and said, "Section Chief, I heard another bad news."

Li Ming sighed helplessly: "What's the bad news?"

Fan Jiawen said directly: "It was not just Cao Xiaohong's family who was poisoned yesterday. There was also an employee and family member of the gear factory who were poisoned. It was relatively mild. They went to Guanxiang Hospital."

Li Ming asked: "Is it also dead dog meat?"

"I heard that's the reason too."

"Do you suspect someone deliberately poisoned?"

Fan Jiawen nodded and said: "Yes, I think it's a bit too strange."

"Cao Xiaohong's family in our factory is also in Chaoyang. We had a meeting there the day before yesterday."

"People have been poisoned one after another. Do you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

Li Ming rotated the pencil rapidly in his hand, "Yesterday Yang Dakui reported to me that people from the public security station had already questioned him."

"Cao Xiaohong saw a dead dog on his way home and thought it would be okay to clean out the internal organs and just eat some thigh meat."

"The story of what happened is clear. It's not appropriate to rub salt into someone's wound. I didn't ask about the story again when I went to the hospital to visit."

"Now that I hear you say it, the situation is a bit abnormal."

"Call two people and go to the hospital to question Cao Xiaohong carefully. Don't miss any clues."

Fan Jiawen responded: "Yes."

In the office, Li Ming pondered for a while alone.

The matter was under the jurisdiction of Chaoyang Branch, so it was not easy for him to intervene directly.

Now, the people who run the Sheriff's Department are the military control teams.

If he stretches his hand too far, he will easily cause unnecessary trouble.

If it happened elsewhere, even if he knew there was a problem, his ability would be limited and he would not be able to deal with it.

If it happens in front of him, he will feel very uncomfortable if he ignores it.

Of course, everything has to wait for Fan Jiawen's preliminary results.

The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and nothing is impossible.

Port city.

Federal Building, Central.

Lou Xiao'e waited for the telegram from Magnesium.

Tang Hongde, manager of the gift company, announced the good news as soon as he entered the door: "Chairman, good news."

"Our goods have arrived at the Port of San Francisco, and Director Lou has entrusted the relevant company to handle the pick-up procedures."

Lou Xiao'e said calmly: "It's finally here. We can immediately alleviate the shortage in the magnesium country market."

Tang Hongde said with a smile on his face: "The perfect plan planned by Director Li and the powerful execution by Director Lou made our Rubik's Cube an instant hit in the Magnesium Country."

"Chairman, should we ask the Hong Kong newspaper to report on the grand success of the Rubik's Cube in Magnesia?"

Lou Xiao'e objected: "Wait a little longer until the goods we send to Ouzhou arrive at the port."

"The media in Yingguo and Ouzhou will definitely pay attention to what is happening in Magnesium. We don't need to add fuel to the fire in Hong Kong City."

"Now that the hype is building up, we will end up with no goods, and the heat will be wasted."

Tang Hongde smiled and answered: "You have thought more carefully."

Lou Xiao'e is well aware of Tang Hongde's tendency to flatter him, "The Rubik's Cube is just a gadget, used to open up the magnesium market."

“The focus of the gift company’s work is watches and clocks, we can’t put the cart before the horse.”

Tang Hongde said confidently: "I haven't given up on the watch work. In terms of production, manager Feng Zhicong is smart and capable, and the assembly of the mechanical watches went smoothly."

"In terms of sales, channels are being rolled out, and our store in Hong Kong City can also open in the next few days."

"Manager Lu Hanliang of the Riben branch also sent a telegram. He hopes that Hong Kong City will send more people to Riben."

It's troublesome if his subordinates are too capable. Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "Yesterday, Manager Lu also sent a telegram back, hoping that the head office would find a way to increase the production of cup noodles and expand exports to Japan."

Tang Hongde said regretfully: "We were a little conservative in the production of cup noodles before."

"Manager Lu enlarged the photo of the Hong Kong Police Force eating cup noodles and used it to visit major institutions in Japan. The orders for cup noodles kept coming."

Earthquakes and mudslides occur from time to time in Japan, and the demand for cup noodles by the public sector far exceeds that of the public sector in the port city.

Seeing the practical cases of the Hong Kong City Police Force, especially those that have been purchased in large quantities by the Magnesium Army, the mentality of today's stupid people: even the fathers of the Magnesium Country are purchasing these good things.

Xingchen Company’s Riben branch quickly broke into Riben’s instant noodle market with cup noodles.

Lou Xiao'e ordered: "Send a telegram to Magnesia."

"1. I received the telegram from them. They have to prepare a monthly report, and the off-duty staff will bring the text back to the port city."

"2. Investigate the technical strength and product prices of LED and LCD screen manufacturers in Magnesium."

"3. Urging the delivery of the paper cup production line. Is there any ready-made production line on the market that can be modified? The port city needs it urgently."

"Please refine these contents."

When Tang Hongde heard that he was going to send a telegram to Magnesia, he had already taken out the pen and paper he had brought with him. After writing it carefully, he handed it to Lou Xiao'e for review before leaving.

At this time, the strength of electronic screens still depends on the country. The country’s manufacturing industry accounts for 40% of the global share. Even after de-industrialization decades later, the country is still a manufacturing powerhouse.

In 2021, the global added value of manufacturing will account for 30% of my country, 15% of other countries, 15% of the entire European Union, 6% of Japan, and only 5% of Germany.

Lou Xiaoe asked the Magnesium Branch to expedite the paper cup production line because Li Ming asked Xingchen Company to bypass foreign banks and place orders directly with Magnesium.

This can strengthen the business relationship between Xingchen Company and local enterprises in Magnesia and form a community of interests. Xingchen Company will also have a name to lobby parliamentarians in the future.

To protect local employment, the congressman was very confident when speaking for Xingchen Company.

The Magnesium Country is the product of a collection of various capital interests. Everything is imaginary, but money is the most real thing.

It can bring benefits to many groups that speak loudly. Big problems are controllable and are not problems.

If it's just the opposite, then a small problem is also a big problem, and the main thing is to be flexible.

Xingchen Company will definitely export a large amount of products to the Chinese market in the future. It must establish a close relationship and try not to purchase from slave places like Ouzhou, Rizhen, and Nanchaomo.

Those servant lands are not useless. Star Company can use them to lower prices and add some challenges to the suppliers of Magnesium Country.

Xingchen Company can do this mainly because it does not participate in low-tech businesses such as clothing processing and has the strength and confidence.

Yingguo, where the sun never set, no longer has the confidence and strength.

In the past two years, rumors of pound depreciation have appeared almost every month.

Refuting rumors has become a regular monthly program.

The rumors have not been refuted so far this month, which makes many people think that Yingguo cannot hold on any longer, and the pound may really depreciate this time! (End of chapter)
