Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Let's not waste any more time. I'd like to offer a few suggestions for the leaders to consider. If they are acceptable, we can implement them. Everything we do is for the better development of the steel rolling mill."

Li Xiangdong got straight to the point.

Seeing that Director Bao and the others nodded, Li Xiangdong continued speaking.

"First of all, let's talk about the workers' treatment. We were able to complete the cooperation with the textile factory so quickly this time, thanks to the workers. I suggest that the year-end bonus be increased, since we have earned a lot this time."

"The money we give them is just a small amount, but it will motivate them to keep going. When we cooperate with a big company again, they will be full of energy. Who doesn't want to have a few extra pieces of meat on the table for their children when they go home?"

Li Xiangdong's words hit the nail on the head; this kind of incentive was something these leaders had never thought of.

They only care about short-term gains and listen to Li Xiangdong's explanation.

After a moment's thought, the leaders readily nodded in agreement.

They just couldn't think of it, but that doesn't mean they're all fools who could sit in that position.

They all have some emotional intelligence, so they were able to understand Li Xiangdong's good intentions.

Besides, adding one or two dollars to their bills is really just a small amount.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

"Alright, leaders, since there are no objections, I will continue. Next year, we will cooperate with more large factories. Some of the drawings used in the assessment this time were based on the needs of Beijing and the surrounding cities."

"Since they can already skillfully manufacture some of the parts in the latest machine they've developed, it means that when we cooperate next time, the progress will be faster. For example, it takes a month for a steel rolling mill to complete a project in cooperation with their factory."

"Our steel rolling mill only needs half a month, or even less. Think about it, given the same benefits, which mill would they choose first?"

.... ..... ...

Li Xiangdong's words instantly made the three people present extremely excited, their faces turning red.

Those who didn't know better might have thought they had done something drastic, but only they themselves knew the true extent of their excitement.

If what Li Xiangdong said is true, such an assessment not only did not waste time, but could actually shorten the subsequent cooperation cycle.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to steel rolling mills in other cities, as their needs can be met in a very short time.

If a textile machine can increase efficiency by 20%, other factories will be scrambling to get steel mills to manufacture it.

Moreover, the time will be shortened significantly, so there's no doubt that next year, the number of partner factories of the steel rolling mill will be endless.

The profits of the steel rolling mill will definitely increase rapidly.

"Section Chief Li, you've gone to great lengths. Thanks to you, our steel rolling mill is getting better and better. You're truly a promising young man!"

Director Bao couldn't help but praise him.

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to technical talents like Section Chief Li, who wholeheartedly dedicates himself to the development of our steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill is truly fortunate to have you."

Li Huaide, standing to the side, also subtly began to flatter him.

Li Xiangdong also felt that Li Huaide was actually quite good, and his flattery was always quite appropriate.

She won't make people feel awkward; in fact, she'll make them feel comfortable. She's also a very perceptive person.

"Steel mills, cotton mills, and motor factories are all factories we should strive to acquire."

"These factories have very high demand."

Chapter 186 Another Demotion

"These are all very practical. Next year, we must build good relationships with the leaders of these factories. We'll have to rely on you leaders to visit them more often. We'll produce one or two machines so they can use them."

Li Xiangdong's plan drew high praise from the three leaders present.

It's astonishing that someone so young has such a long-term vision and such a broad perspective.

Their focus was solely on their own steel rolling mill, or at most, on the city of Beijing.

Being able to cooperate with the surrounding textile factories is already a remarkable achievement.

Now, however, Li Xiangdong has broadened his horizons.

According to Li Xiangdong's plan, it won't be long.

Centered on Beijing, several surrounding cities developed inextricably linked relationships with the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing. (The term "453" is a colloquial expression meaning "453".")

By then, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill might just become a nationally renowned steel rolling mill.

Thinking about this, the three leaders were reluctant to leave, if Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill could really reach the point they envisioned.

Even if they were promoted three more times, they wouldn't want to stay in that position.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of negotiating with other factories. But we might need to trouble Section Chief Li to get the machines ready first, so we can show them our work when we go there."

Director Bao quickly replied.

“That’s right, that’s right. Leave the business trips to us. As long as Section Chief Li gets the planning for our steel rolling mill sorted out, we’ll listen to him.”

Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Don't worry, don't worry, leave this to us. We will do our best to get them to cooperate with us. Thank you for your hard work, Section Chief Li."

Factory Director Yang then spoke up.

Hearing that the three leaders of the steel rolling mill had affirmed him, Li Xiangdong smiled and nodded.

According to its own plan, the development of the steel rolling mill must not be interrupted.

Now he knew that Lou Xiao'e must have run off to Hong Kong with her parents.

In that case, the steel rolling mill would definitely belong to the state. If I could make the steel rolling mill bigger and stronger before that happens...

At that time, the steel rolling mill will become a very important point for him, which can avoid a lot of trouble later.

This is a once-and-for-all solution, not only concerning the development of the factory, but also my own future development.

As the discussion reached this point, the food was brought to the conference room. The group exchanged smiles and began to eat dinner.

Director Bao and his colleagues were in high spirits tonight. They brought out some liquor they had been treasuring for years from their office, and everyone had a small drink.

After having enough wine and food.

"Let's call it a day then. There's one more thing. From now on, our assessments will be quarterly, which means every three months. However, Yi Zhonghai didn't participate this time. Whatever the reason, it can be considered that he voluntarily withdrew."

"According to Article 5, those who voluntarily waive their assessment qualification will be demoted one level. I hope the leaders have no objections?"

Li Xiangdong spoke calmly, glancing at Factory Director Yang.

These words weren't meant for Director Bao and Li Huaide; they were clearly meant to gauge Director Yang's attitude.

Although Director Yang has been leaning towards me lately, we still need to see if he takes any concrete actions.

Prior to this, Li Xiangdong had also learned that Director Yang and Yi Zhonghai were longtime friends.

Yi Zhonghai's current position in the steel rolling mill can be attributed to the promotion he received from Director Yang.

If Director Yang agrees with my statement, it means that Director Yang is willing to cut off his own arm and stand with me.

If you remove all the tiger's claws and teeth, it will only become a docile cat that you can manipulate at will.

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide also turned his gaze to Director Yang.

Factory Director Yang felt a little uneasy under Li Xiangdong's gaze, realizing that if he wanted to continue working at the steel rolling mill, he would have to be mindful of Li Xiangdong's feelings.

There's no way around it; in the steel rolling mill, everyone now recognizes Li Xiangdong as the most capable person, not any of them.

Although they held leadership positions, in the eyes of the workers...

Can the leaders feed them well? Only Li Xiangdong can feed them well.

This move also put Director Yang in a difficult position, forcing him to side with Li Xiangdong.

Otherwise, I might not be able to continue as the factory manager one day.

"Of course. Now that our rules and regulations have been established, they must be strictly followed, and no one can be exempt..."

"Yi Zhonghai had his reasons for this incident, but rules and regulations are rules and regulations. If he has the ability, he can participate in the three-month assessment and be promoted again."

Director Yang's attitude made Li Xiangdong feel very comfortable.

"Of course, we will follow the rules and regulations. Any rules and regulations that are good for our steel rolling mill must be implemented thoroughly."

"After Yi Zhonghai comes out, Lao Yang, you tell him that if he has the ability, let him take the exam again. If he doesn't have the ability, it's his own fault for being demoted. Our steel mill doesn't support idle people."

Director Bao, being a shrewd person, could tell at this point that Li Xiangdong clearly had some dissatisfaction with Factory Director Yang.

However, this time Director Yang was a bit smarter and didn't go against Li Xiangdong again.

If Director Yang continues to be stubborn and refuses to see the truth, Director Bao will not agree.

Since Li Xiangdong arrived, the steel rolling mill has been completely transformed.

For a factory manager and his own future development, it's not worth mentioning at all.

Director Yang made a mistake today; I reckon the steel rolling mill director will be replaced tomorrow.

"Since Director Bao has spoken, then I'll trouble Factory Director Yang to let us know when the time comes. Let's call it a day then. The New Year is just around the corner, so we can take a long holiday and rest. Let's work harder next year."

Li Xiangdong said with a smile.

The group in the meeting room then dispersed and went home. 2.1.

Today, Li Xiangdong was quite satisfied with the performance of his two brothers, Wenwu and Wuwu, who just barely failed the test.

Yu Bin, on the other hand, is exceptionally talented. If properly trained, he could become a very useful person in the future.
