When visiting the exhibition room of Chunhua Group, Li Rui finally discovered the predecessor of this military industrial enterprise, well, it turned out that this enterprise used to specialize in the production of tanks, armored vehicles, rocket artillery, and the products produced had made great contributions in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 79 years, and this enterprise was also praised by a vice chairman of the State Military Commission at that time, and the vice chairman also inscribed four words to this enterprise: Loyal to the country. These four words are hung in the most conspicuous place in the exhibition room, taking up almost half of the wall. Of course, only those four words and some old black and white photos still tell about the glory of this company.

To this day, the efficiency of this enterprise is not very good, for many reasons, the general manager of the group accompanied Sun Youxin to visit the factory, and also said several problems. Sun Youxin encouraged him to actively raise funds and take action in various ways to turn losses into profits and create new glories.

Li Rui noticed that after being encouraged by Sun Youxin, although the general manager nodded vigorously in agreement, but afterwards there was helpless embarrassment and bitter smile on his face, and a weak expression, he knew that he could not do what Sun Youxin expected him to do, in fact, think about it, with the gradual development and improvement of the market economy, the improvement of productivity and the improvement of management mode, the aging and decline of state-owned enterprises (of course, military enterprises) and even death are inevitable.

In the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, a large number of state-owned enterprises in China went bankrupt one after another, and some of the remaining state-owned enterprises were also privatized in the process of restructuring. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation, but one reason that cannot be avoided is that state-owned enterprises are subject to administrative management and intervention, simply put, the rule of man, and in this way, all kinds of undesirable malpractices existing in government organs have also been inherited into state-owned enterprises...... This is only the drawbacks brought about by the rule of man, other reasons are financial system problems, backward production technology and transformation failure, etc., all these problems are shrouded in the head, state-owned enterprises want to develop healthily and benignly, it is difficult to do so, if it is not for the support of government rescue, it is estimated that most of the state-owned enterprises have closed down and gone bankrupt.

Li Rui estimates that Sun Youxin's trip to Qingyang specially took half a day to visit Chunhua Group, and the plan should be to let the leadership of the group know the shame and courage through the attention and expectations shown by him, the second head of the provincial military district, and find a way to improve the efficiency of the group, and the efficiency of the group will go up, as the provincial military region to which the group belongs, it will be able to share some more real money, but unfortunately, the chief does not know that the efficiency of a group is not determined by the attention of the leadership, and he does this, but it highlights the shortcomings of the leadership (in fact, the administration) interfering in the management of enterprises in state-owned enterprises (military enterprises). 。

An enterprise is an enterprise, and professional managers and professional workers should be responsible for managing and executing, and if the government or leaders forcibly intervene, it will only get worse and worse. Of course, there are good ones, but such examples are extremely rare.

Li Rui secretly thought that if the dried fruit and cereals processing factory in which he and Li Yulan were co-owned did not belong to the two of them, but to the Jiupo Town Government, then look at it, it is estimated that after a hard and busy year, not to mention that it will be profitable by the end of the year, maybe it will lose money, and it will reach out to the town government to ask for money and subsidies, this is not nonsense, but something that is very likely to happen.

At the end of the investigation, Primavera Group gave Sun Youxin and his party a small gift each. Li Rui's entourage also has a share, and gifts are not uncommon. Chunhua Group in the process of converting the military to civilian, groping to test the waters, trying to find a product road that can produce good benefits, once chose to produce fountain pens, at that time, the Chinese people were still popular to use fountain pens, especially the cadres in the government and the army, if there is no fountain pen, are embarrassed to say that they are cadres, Uncle Lei Feng wrote his diary with a fountain pen? Primavera Group produced fountain pens and sold them for several years, and then stopped production because of poor efficiency, leaving a batch of products that were not sold, so they were left in the warehouse, and now they are taken out as gifts, and given to the leaders and customers who come to the group for guidance and cooperation as a souvenir.

The fountain pen produced by Primavera Group is naturally called "Prima". This batch of fountain pens has been stored in the warehouse for more than ten years, and the storage is not bad, one by one lying in a small long box, shiny and shiny, neat and clean, all the same as new. Of course, this would have been all new.

Li Rui accepted the pen with a smile, put it in his briefcase, and said that today's research was not in vain, and when he went back, he gave this pen to his master Yuan Xiaodi, which could be regarded as a gift to him.

Li Rui is still very particular about dealing with people, especially being a man, and the specific performance is that he attaches importance to affection, is not stingy, and is kind. Since he became Song Chaoyang's secretary, in the process of accompanying him for research, visiting, and guidance, he has received many gifts and gifts from the parties, but he never takes them directly to his home, but first sees whether other colleagues in the same company have a share, and if they have a share, then they will accept it; if not, then he will share his share. Even, the prizes he drew at the annual meeting undoubtedly belonged to him, and he was willing to give them to others.

But he didn't do it to buy people's hearts, but subconsciously did it. In other words, in the process of interacting with others, he does not consider whether he can get actual benefits from the other party (such as money or people's hearts), but puts affection in the first place, and tries to ensure that the interests of the other party are maximized and not infringed. For example, when he faced the embarrassing scene of Dongzhou Mayor Wu Nan's stockings being torn, his first thought was not that I would help her cover up this embarrassment, and she would definitely miss my favor, and I would be able to make friends with the mayor and get some benefits from her in the future;

His chivalrous heart is related not only to his own character, but also to the folklore of the city where he was born. Qingyang City is a thousand-year-old city, chivalrous wind prevailed in ancient times, once gave birth to a lot of heroes and knights who left their names in history, this chivalrous style has been passed down from generation to generation, more or less affected the character and blood of Qingyang people. And Li Rui is deeply affected by this chivalrous spirit, and he is also half a martial arts practitioner, so he naturally follows the chivalrous demeanor more.

It is precisely because of his chivalrous heart that he sacrificed himself to save his current father-in-law Lu Zhouxing in the night of the rainstorm and the surging flood, and this rescue has also created some of his achievements today. However, Lu Zhouxing only helped him a little that day, and he was able to successfully get to this day, and he was able to get the recognition of many leaders, the love of many celebrities, and the appreciation of many friends, or his own excellent quality of valuing love and righteousness.

In the evening, Qingyang had a banquet at Qingyang Hotel and warmly welcomed Sun Youxin and his party. Speaking of which, Sun Youxin has been entertained at noon, and it seems that there is no need to mention it this time in the evening, but in fact, it is much different: first of all, the luncheon at noon should be said to be a working meal, it is inconvenient to drink, and there is no time to talk and chat, and the evening time is relatively much more generous, and they are all off work at night, you can drink to your heart's content; secondly, at noon, only Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, Gao Guosong three city leaders entertained Sun Youxin, and in the evening, the city leaders of the city government also dispatched, the new acting mayor Yu Heping, Executive Vice Mayor Jia Yulong and the two mayors went out together and came to Qingyang Hotel to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Sun Youxin and his party.

This dinner also has Li Rui's share, although he is not a city leader, but as a staff member around the city leader, he is also qualified to sit at the table. Of course, he can only enter the banquet of the staff of Qingyang City, which is also the third-level banquet in this dinner. The first two levels are: Song Chaoyang, Yu Heping, and other city leaders entertain Sun Youxin, deputy secretary general of the provincial government, and other provincial leaders; and middle-level city leaders such as the secretary general of the municipal government and the municipal minister of people's armed forces entertain the accompanying cadres of the province.

Li Rui and Yu Heping's secretary Ji Gang sat at a table and sat together. This is also the first time that the two have sat down to eat together since Ji Gang was promoted to the first secretary of the city government.

After being promoted to the first secretary of the city government, Ji Gang's attitude towards Li Rui was obviously not as affectionate as before, and of course, he was not very affectionate to Li Rui before. Although the two sat together, he hardly talked to Li Rui, and he didn't respect Li Rui with a glass of wine. Even if Li Rui took the initiative to toast him, he refused lukewarmly, and he didn't have the slightest friendship with colleagues. It feels like he is holding the shelf of the first secretary of the city government throughout the scene, cold and indifferent, lonely and arrogant, no one looks down on him, no one pays attention to it, and he looks like he is the only one.

Li Rui saw his performance in his eyes, secretly funny, and said in his heart that it's okay for you Director Ji to pretend garlic in front of others, but it's going to make a joke if you pretend to be garlic in front of me Li Rui, others don't know what your nature is, don't I know? Okay, I think that day you just heard the news that you might be transferred to the city government with the boss Yu Heping, Lima couldn't sit still, ran to Ouyang Xin, the general manager of the Shengjing Hotel, to be courteous, and wanted to send people home, but they were rejected, but in the end they sent me home, you are equivalent to a loser who competes with me for beauty, what else do you have to do? What are you still pretending to be in front of me?
