"It's coming, it's coming, the car is coming!"

"That, it should be, right?"

"What are you waiting for!"

Li Huaide only revealed half of his ambition before he was interrupted by the messenger.

He didn't have time to get angry and followed the other people's gaze to the street.

"Director Li, it's time for you to go down!"

Seeing that he was still standing there, Li Xuewu came over, grabbed his arm and pulled him down like a donkey.

"Oh, okay--"

Lao Li was obviously a little panicked. He was calm and composed just now, maybe he had said in his heart many times that he was not nervous.

But when things came to pass, he still couldn't help but trembling in his legs. After all, the person he wanted to see was not someone he could meet casually.

After being greeted by Li Xuewu, he had woken up and walked in a panic for a while. Li Xuewu pinched his arm again and calmed down his mind before walking steadily.

The signal light command vehicle was parked not far away, and the radio communicated with the security guards on duty. This section has been isolated.

When the motorcade slowly stopped at the side of the road, Li Xuewu spotted Mr. Z's vehicle and pushed Li Huaide.

Li Huaide felt his signal and trotted forward without looking back, while the others deliberately took a step slower.

The car door was opened by the secretary. Li Huaide stood two steps away from the car door, waiting enthusiastically until Mr. Z got off the car.

"It's the director of the management committee of Red Star Factory, Li Huaide."

Lu Yun, who came from the car behind, introduced Mr. Z softly.

"Mr. Z, welcome to Red Star Factory! Welcome——!"

After Li Huaide heard Lu Yun's introduction, he dared to take Mr. Z's hand, and his voice was trembling with excitement, not inferior to Dehua's.

Mr. Z shook his hand warmly, and then looked behind him.

"Mr. Z, welcome--!"

There were no welcome banners, no banners, and no parade of colorful flags or gongs and drums. Instead, there were only workers’ representatives, female workers’ representatives and student representatives presenting bouquets of flowers to Mr. Z who came to visit and inspect.

The welcoming scene is warm but not enthusiastic, respectful but not solemn, pragmatic, truth-seeking, down-to-earth and all sincere.

The slightly ordinary welcome ceremony here was in sharp contrast to the noisy gongs and drums and flying colorful flags at the trade fair.

Mr. Z took the bouquets from the three representatives with a smile and expressed his gratitude to them.

There are no elementary school students here with red faces. The flowers are the flowers that bloom in spring picked along the Liangma River. They are so simple and natural.

Looking at the small but energetic welcoming team, Mr. Z nodded slightly.

When shaking hands with the members of the Red Star Factory team who were standing in line, it was like the spring breeze blowing on the face. Mr.'s demeanor made all the factory leaders who usually have no pretense admire him.

Li Xuewu was standing behind the crowd, but he could still feel his majesty.

Compared with the last time we met, only one year later, I can clearly feel that my husband is haggard and tired.

Try to turn the tide, save the building from collapse, never change your original intention, and study for the rise of the nation.

Although he was carrying a heavy burden, he still walked firmly and steadily. Under the guidance of Li Huaide, he stepped onto the temporarily hardened platform.

After such a short journey, Li Huaide tried his best to suppress his inner excitement and nervousness, and reported to Mr. Z the significance of choosing this land to welcome him.

Spring and scenery are bright. When you climb up and look far, you will see the broad Liangma River to your left and behind you, and a lively trade fair like a market to your right.

Looking around, to the right is the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill with stacked buildings, and directly in front is a large construction site under construction.

The Liangma River, which runs straight through from the left hand side, splits this prosperous scene into two places. It is not blocked, but is full of vitality and spring.

"Is that the trade fair you were talking about?"

After walking up to the high platform, Mr. Li raised his eyes slightly and saw that the trade fair was not very big, but it was far more lively and prosperous than the market.

Although he knew that this was just a glimpse of prosperity under the planned economy, he still saw hope for the prosperity of the country in the future.

I came here today just to see what the future will look like for the career they sacrificed, dedicated, and worked hard for their whole life.

The development story of Hongxing Factory has come to the fore since last year’s big learning event.

Far surpassing factories and units of the same level, we have quickly achieved ideological unification, gathered the core driving force for development, dared to work hard, took detours, tried and made mistakes, and finally found a clear path.

There is a list on his desk, which are the companies he is most concerned about and misses the most. This list is the foundation of a strong country and the hope of national industry.

In the list, the newly entered Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and its development momentum is increasing.

In the national economic summary at the end of 1966, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill performed very well among heavy industrial enterprises.

Not only did industrial production exceed the planned target, but it also completed the transition to mixed development of light and heavy industries.

What is important is that despite the changing situation last year, Red Star Factory quickly adjusted its development ideas to cater to the new era and development requirements of the new period, and embarked on a unique path.

Last year there were frequent good news, and this year there are even more victories. While other factories were still stuck in ideological rectification and team rectification, the products of the Red Star Factory went out of the country, inviting foreign trade customers into their homes, and achieved high production capacity.

A new breakthrough in transformation.

Based on the production capacity of heavy industry, we broke through the upstream and downstream barriers in the industry, broke through the obstacles to industry cooperation, and achieved the innovation and goals of joint industry and joint tertiary industries.

In implementing the industrial, construction, cultural and educational instructions issued on May 7 last year, the steel rolling mill has achieved innovations and achievements that other mills have not achieved.

In Mr.'s list, every time he fills in the results of the steel rolling mill, there are a few more lines of records on the list, and the fresh handwriting reveals that it is always new.

"The trade fair is just for Red Star Factory and United Enterprises to practice and verify the service concept of industrial products for the people."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Huaide stood in front of a display board and introduced today's reception at Red Star Factory to his husband and the entourage behind him.

The display board is not a traditional wooden blackboard, but a display stand made of rolled steel plates welded together.

The platform is tilted 45 degrees, so you can see the design drawings on the platform without bending down.

This is the construction rendering of the steel rolling mill ecological industrial zone. It is like a picture scroll displayed in front of everyone, making it easier to look up at any time and calibrate the location of the land on the map.

In the rendering, factories, R&D institutions, schools, shopping malls, residential areas, service areas, gymnasiums and other buildings are reasonably distributed on both sides of the Liangma River, forming an ideal picture of harmonious coexistence between man, nature, and industry.

"Take the location where we are standing as the core, which is the location of the future group office building."

Li Huaide stood in front of the platform, pointing at the planning diagram and giving a concise and efficient introduction.

Every sentence, every word, every word was discussed and finalized by Li Xuewu and him in detail. It is absolutely concise and concise, and the words convey the meaning clearly.

"Expand the living space forward, face each other across the road, and be with the Liangma River"

He raised his hand to indicate the construction sites on both sides of the Liangma River and introduced: "Based on the park landscape built on both sides of the river, we will expand humanities, education, living and medical spaces to both sides."

"Your factory is going to be grouped into a group, right?"

Mr. Z asked him, then pointed to the location of the steel rolling mill on the drawing and the location of the tertiary industry and joint factory adjacent to another branch of Liangma River and asked: "How is it handled here?"

This branch line is not blocked, but directly connected to the moat.

"This is the second section of our factory's ecological industrial zone planning, which is the industry and scientific research section."

Li Huaide had adapted to the rhythm of the introduction and said very naturally: "The Red Star Factory has invested in building a new steel rolling mill project in Steel City, where the existing steel rolling production equipment and supporting production equipment will be dismantled in the future."

“Our scheduled time is to complete this largest investment and construction goal within three years.”

"It is a very decisive choice. It is no less than tearing down and rebuilding. It also makes the comrades of the Ministry of Industry sweat, right? Huh?" Mr. Z turned to look at Du Xian of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce who was accompanying him and asked.

"I support enterprises to be self-reliant, self-reliant and self-reliant, and bravely move forward to create a new world."

Du Xian smiled and looked at Li Huaide and nodded: "Since the Red Star Factory dares to move the steel rolling industry to Steel City, it shows that they have the need and are more prepared to bear the pressure of investment and construction."

"We will definitely be able to complete this goal of transformation and transfer of heavy industry. Please believe in our determination, sir."

After Li Huaide made his statement, he pointed his finger in the direction of the steel rolling mill and explained: "The steel rolling industry relies heavily on energy resources and transportation resources."

"We have studied and judged the future development pattern and needs of Beijing's industry in corporate strategic planning. Heavy industry is no longer suitable for unlimited development in the city."

"Moreover, the current equipment, technology, production capacity and products of the steel rolling mill remain at the leading level in the country."

"However, we can clearly feel that the gap between this level and the world-class level is huge, and it is still too late to catch up now."

Li Huaide said very seriously: "If we are reluctant to let go of our children, we will not be able to trap the wolf. We have not lost the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds, nor have we given up heavy industry."

He pointed to the location of the factory's workshops and explained: "In the future, these production areas will serve scientific research and light industrial manufacturing."

"The leading edge of science and technology will create the trend of industrial development. We must not only produce heavy industrial products, but also make them well, quickly and advanced!"

"Is it complementary advantages? Hmm——"

Mr. Z listened very carefully, nodded to Du Xian and said: "Use the current advantages of heavy industry to develop light industry, supplement it with the establishment of trade channels, and at the same time accumulate strength, and then turn back to support heavy industry, and the cycle will continue."

The gentleman was thinking as he spoke, looking at the planning diagram and the steel rolling mill in the distance with keen eyes.

"Sir, I dare not say whether this is the right path to take, but in terms of practicing the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, Red Star Factory is correct."

Du Xian admired Li Huaide's work at the Red Star Factory, otherwise he wouldn't have helped pull the strings here last time.

Mr. Z nodded and said: "In industrial development, we are still crossing the river by feeling the stones. What is right and what is wrong?"

He clicked on the scientific research location marked on the planning map and asked: "How is the foundation?"

"At present, three universities have completed school-enterprise cooperation agreements with Red Star Factory, and there are 12 laboratories and R&D centers in operation."
