Chapter 695 Did you fall into the ditch?
Chapter 695 Did you fall into the ditch?
Yang Dakui came up with a damaging move, "Haven't you been cleaning up the team recently? I think we might as well hold a training class for Factory Director Yang and the others."
"The whereabouts of these people are under our control. If the new director comes into contact with them, it will be easy to find them."
Li Ming repeated: "Are you going to hold a study class?"
Yang Dakui affirmed: "Yes."
"This way, I only need to stick to my off-duty time. It's not easy for me to miss any gaps."
"The matter is simple. Just tell Deputy Director Nie and Deputy Director Nie will definitely agree."
Li Ming made a decision and said: "Then let's hold a study class."
"It just so happens that there have been a lot of editorials recently, let them learn from it."
Although Chen Liuman, the former chief of the security department, was not a good guy, it was a fact that he was tricked back then.
It can be used as a case for analysis.
Li Ming first communicated with Section Chief Chen Guodong about the study class plan, and then approached Deputy Director Nie.
"It's good to emphasize that no fighting is allowed. Xiao Ming, you can always grasp the focus of the current work."
Li Ming told the truth, "Director Li went to the Metallurgical Department. I don't know what the new director's attitude will be."
"I'm thinking of setting up a study class to gather all the people in the factory who have made mistakes."
“It can be seen at a glance who has contacted the new director.”
Deputy Director Nie understood what he meant and promised: "Don't worry. As long as I am in the factory, the new director can't do anything to you."
Li Mingke said in a formal manner: "I have done my job first, so I can save you more trouble."
"I tried various jobs, and I found that the job in the security department is the most suitable for me."
Deputy Director Nie smiled and praised: "Under your leadership, the security department has done an excellent job in ensuring the stability of the entire factory."
"Without you, our factory's security work would be as messy as other factories."
Deputy Director Nie changed the subject, "I wonder who is coming from the capital? Our superiors have informed us that we need to improve security."
Zhou Xiaobai has been more filial to Zhou Zhennan recently. He often serves tea and water diligently, and secretly sees a lot of news to tell Li Ming.
Deputy Director Nie nodded, "So that's what happened."
"Haha! Our recent international situation is very good."
Li Ming can read the newspapers of Hong Kong City at any time and understand more details, "It's good."
The previous assassination in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, was bound to arouse public outrage.
At this time, people did not know that after the assassination, agents quickly ran out to participate in first aid, but various rumors had already spread.
All over the world condemned this evil deed, and the country of Magnesia suddenly became notorious again.
If the country is plagued by scandals, we will have more moral rights, and the international environment can be a little better.
However, in a city like Hong Kong City, everyone only wants to make money, and almost no one except us speaks out about this matter.
Teahouse in Kowloon.
My eldest uncle just returned to Hong Kong City from Magnesium Country two days ago and was talking loudly, "Meg Country is in a mess now."
"Chicago, Baltimore, and San Francisco are cities that you have heard of, and there are a lot more that you haven't heard of. One to two hundred cities have implemented curfews."
Goatee Yan Dong asked: "It didn't affect your company's business, right?"
Boss Sun, a thin middle-aged man, joked: "Yes, we business people pay attention to being friendly and making money."
"We have to pay wages to the employees below every day, and we also spend money on rent, water and electricity for shops and factories every day."
The eldest uncle said with a smug look on his face: "Things are fine with me."
"In our direct-operated stores in several big cities, we have already prepared wooden boards to seal the doors and windows, so they can cause trouble outside."
"Other markets have been handed over to major department stores. Whether they suffer losses has nothing to do with our company."
"As long as it's okay." Dong Yan said again: "In the news, countries in Ou and Mei are either making one thing today or another thing tomorrow, and there is no stopping."
Boss Sun answered: "Dr. Yan, let them make trouble as much as they like, as long as they can place an order for us."
Tang Hongde, who accompanied us, interjected: "If it doesn't stop, foreign trade orders may also decrease."
Boss Sun smiled and said, "That's what Manager Tang said."
When we talked about foreign trade, my uncle asked: "The Canton Fair is being held in the mainland. Have you sent anyone to participate?"
Director Yan has learned, "They are very strict about checking the identity of visitors to the exhibition this time. Those who do not meet the qualifications will not be allowed in if they want to participate."
Boss Sun once heard someone complain, "Those who went there also regretted it."
"People from the mainland always treat them to watch cultural performances and visit various exhibition halls, but they don't talk about business matters."
The eldest uncle sneered: "What's so good about that?"
"What they want to see are nightclubs and dance halls, and what they want to hug is little girls' waists. There are no such places in the mainland."
Boss Sun echoed: "That's right. I feel like my time was wasted."
Last year, it was still business. This year, publicity is greater than business. With the experience of the Canton Fair in the spring, the transaction amount in the autumn will be very low.
Tang Hongde has stayed at Xingchen Company for a long time, and his horizons have improved. "We don't need a little business from the mainland. The port city is now full of foreign trade orders."
"What I saw is that every factory is working overtime to catch up on goods."
Director Yan is clear about this, "The prices of imported raw materials have increased, more goods have been made, and people have worked harder, but the actual profits have not increased."
It is still the impact of the previous depreciation of the exchange rate. In a trading city like Hong Kong City, almost all raw materials need to be imported.
In the early stages of currency depreciation, it is beneficial to exports because there are original stocks of materials.
However, when new raw material imports returned to Hong Kong, prices began to rise and the side effects of currency depreciation began to emerge, which was not necessarily conducive to exports.
Only if the economy can rely on local production of most of its raw materials, currency depreciation will most likely benefit exports.
The uncle commented: "I always produce things for Ou Magnesium's company, and the profits are squeezed by those Ou Magnesium brand manufacturers. I don't even want to make more money."
"We still have to do more research and development and come up with our own products, and we have the final say on how much profit we make."
This is typical of standing and talking without back pain.
Let’s talk about those who didn’t succeed. For those who succeed, their farts smell good. That’s how realistic it is.
Mr. Yan, who has a goat beard, did not refute this. “The key is that I have no idea how to do research and development. I don’t know what to research and develop, and I don’t know how to research and develop.”
The middle-aged boss Sun said with envy: "Dong Yan is right, research and development is not easy. The only one in Hong Kong that has been completed is Cambrian Laboratory of Star Company."
"I heard rumors from them that the Cambrian Laboratory's funding this year is more than HK$500 million. Is it really that much?" The uncle said proudly: "It's just more, the upper limit is HK$1000 million."
Boss Sun gave a thumbs up and praised: "Even those big companies from Yingguo can't compare to you."
Manager Tang explained briefly, "We hired a lot of experts from Japan, and the salary from Japan is much higher than that in Hong Kong City."
Boss Sun continued to praise: "You must have the courage of your Xingchen Company."
My eldest brother-in-law couldn't suppress his desire to show off, "My brother-in-law said he wanted to follow Ou Mei's cutting-edge technology, engage in genetic and biological research, and follow up on semiconductor docking and so on."
"I have never heard of these things before. I don't understand anything. I hope the millions of dollars in research and development funds will not be wasted."
Director Yan remembered and asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't heard from Director Li for several days."
The uncle didn't know it himself, so he took the reason compiled by Lou Xiao'e and said, "Director Li recently went to practice. He believes in Taoism. From time to time, he will retreat when he has enlightenment."
"No wonder." Dong Yan, Boss Sun and others didn't think there was anything wrong.
There are quite a lot of so-called 'masters' in Hong Kong City. I don't know what their strength is. Anyway, there are many magic sticks who are everywhere.
Ordinary people just follow this one and pay homage to that one, and burn some incense that other one. The main thing is that no one will be offended.
For Xingchen Company to be so prosperous, it must be worshiping the right gods.
"Dr. Lou, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Former Congressman Lawyer Chen apologized as soon as he stepped into the store.
The eldest uncle stood up and said with a smile: "I haven't been here for long, and I am having a good chat with everyone."
"Excuse me, everyone. I have some legal matters that I would like to consult with Lawyer Chen."
Everyone stood up, smiled and greeted politely, and watched as they went to the private room for a private discussion.
In the private room, after some pleasantries.
The eldest uncle said cheerfully: "I need your help to find out if there is any resale of the large villa on Hong Kong Island."
Specifically stating that he wanted a big villa, not an ordinary house, Lawyer Chen smiled and said: "A few days ago, there was a villa in Repulse Bay, and someone asked me if I had a suitable buyer."
"I will ask you if he has found a buyer."
At this time, the price of a large villa already starts at one million Hong Kong dollars, and the various annual expenses are also high, which is not something that ordinary people can worry about.
The homeowners are all people with high status and wealth. At this time, ordinary real estate agencies do not have this information about the housing, and there are reliable people who are brokering the transactions.
My uncle chuckled and said, "I want a lot. I want 8 sets."
Lawyer Chen was shocked and said: "8 units! Are they all for self-occupation?"
The effect he wanted was achieved, and he said carefully: "I want 1 set for myself, and the other 7 sets are for my sister and brother-in-law."
"One of the seven apartments was given to my parents by them. It's best if it's closer to my apartment. The other six apartments are just fine."
These six sets were actually requested by Li Ming. Each of Lou Xiaoe's three daughters had two sets in their name. Of course, Zhou Xiaobai's two sets were in his name.
Lou Xiao'e didn't notice anything was wrong and was quite happy because her man was thinking about her parents.
Qin Huairu guessed it, which meant that there was really only one vixen outside. Not only did she not tell Lou Xiao'e, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt much less stressed.
The matter was simple. Lawyer Chen agreed casually: "I didn't expect you to ask for so much. I'll help you get the news out first and see the feedback later. This matter can't be rushed."
The eldest uncle answered: "I thought so too, so I brought Manager Tang with me."
"I have to go to Yingguo in a few days. Consultant Huang is busy in Australia. Please contact Manager Tang then."
Tang Hongde picked up the tea cup at the right time and offered tea instead of wine to lawyer Chen.
Lawyer Chen also raised his glass and responded, "No problem!"
"Villas on the top of the mountain or in the middle of the mountain are also available, right? The ones there will be much more expensive."
"My house should preferably be on the top of the mountain." My uncle couldn't help but chirp, "To tell you the truth, the profits from the company's orders are good, and I can afford a villa on the top of the mountain."
Lawyer Chen laughed and said, "Boss Lou, everyone in Hong Kong, from 80 to 8 years old, knows about it."
"Last year, the total number of containers entering and leaving the port city was less than 4000. Your Xingchen company has already booked containers, and said it will increase depending on the situation in the future."
"When the shipping company exposed the news, the entire port city was in a state of shock."
My uncle didn’t know this was happening just now, so he said modestly: “The main reason is that the barreled cup noodles supplied to Magnesium Army take up too much space, and one container cannot hold much.”
"This is the reason why we set up a cup noodle production line in Japan. The production line in Magnesium Country is also on the schedule. I went to Yingguo this time to investigate the feasibility of setting up a factory in Ouzhou."
Lawyer Chen smiled and said: "In addition to the containers of instant noodles, you also have a lot of wall clocks."
Tang Hongde explained: "Every wall clock has glass, and shipping it in a container can ensure that the damage rate during transportation is controllable."
In 1956 and 57, the first container ship appeared in the United States and encountered fierce opposition from conservative shipping companies, train transportation companies, and stevedores.
Containers can greatly reduce the time for loading and unloading goods, and can also significantly reduce the loss of goods for cargo owners, and freight calculations are also clear.
The advantages are so obvious that it is useless to oppose it given the general trend.
In 1964, countries negotiated a unified size for containers. At this time, more and more goods were transported in containers, and more and more cargo ships were produced based on container loading.
Xingchen Company has Li Ming, who prefers container transportation.
Beijing.
The front yard of No. 95 Siheyuan.
Uncle Dong, who had just won, looked up at the sky, "Why do I feel like it hasn't rained much this year!"
"Didn't you get off?" Yan Bugui was pretentious before, so he didn't pay much attention to these things.
Qin Huairu came out of the east wing and said, "The floor seems to have been wet a couple of times, but there should be nothing else."
Yan Bugui rearranged the chess pieces and said, "The turning green water of the wheat last month had to be irrigated entirely by water diversion from ditches. Those who do not irrigate the ground with water will have to work particularly hard."
Qin Huairu said casually: "My mother's home in Changping is fine. This year there is water from the Jingmi Diversion Canal."
Uncle Dong also arranged his chess pieces, "It is unreliable to rely on the weather. We still need to build more reservoirs and build more canals."
Yan Bugui said sarcastically: "Building reservoirs and canals costs a lot of money."
“For the second phase of the Jingmi Diversion Canal, many government officials and students were asked to work voluntarily, and in the end, almost 3000 million was spent.”
"If 3000 million is used to pay wages, it can pay wages to 5 people for a whole year."
Wu Ming, who was covered in mud, carried his bicycle down the steps, "Third uncle, you are really good at counting."
Uncle Dong asked in confusion: "Wu Ming, why are you covered in dirt? Did you fall into the ditch?"
