That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1116 Lessons from the Past
Audiences who have watched martial arts movies know that when two gangs are "talking heads", the younger brothers need to yell and say harsh words. If they are not ruthless, the morale of their own side will be low, and the boss will seem to lose face.

Niu Hongzhang was feeling very embarrassed now. Li Ye just spat a mouthful of tea leaves, and all his subordinates became quails.

Everyone was silent. Did they need the boss Niu Hongzhang to give the orders himself?

How embarrassing would that be for me?
But now Niu Hongzhang had no choice but to speak. Li Ye, Ma Zhaoxian's henchman, was too powerful, and his arrogance had to be suppressed.

Niu Hongzhang first drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then said casually: "Then let me make a suggestion! We will send two experienced financial personnel to support the first branch and help the financial department of the first branch to establish a more rigorous and secure financial system."

Li Ye immediately asked, "Where should we send people to the first branch factory? The finance department of the main factory?"

Niu Hongzhang looked at Section Chief Wan, who said as a matter of course: "Comrade Li Ye, our Finance Department has many experienced financial officers. Send one or two of them to help Zhang Xiaoshuai share the burden."

"Director Wan, please wait a moment."

Li Ye interrupted Director Wan without hesitation, and then asked: "I want to ask a question, have you checked the bad debt of your Finance Department last year?"

"If the matter is investigated, then the deficit should be accounted for, right? Why did they ask a branch factory to advance the dividend for next quarter this month? If it is not clear."

"Bang~"

Li Ye angrily slammed the table, pointed at Wan Kechang's nose and cursed: "You can't even clean up your own shit, how dare you come to the first factory to instruct Zhang Xiaoshuai?"

"What do you want to instruct? Instruct Zhang Xiaoshuai on how to falsify accounts?"

Last year, the factory director was able to escape unscathed and return to his hometown because the financial problems were not thoroughly investigated. Decades of bad debts had implicated too many people, and the higher-ups only investigated superficially without going back twenty years.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a few people going to jail. Lao Wan and many people in the Finance Department would be involved.

Li Ye said coldly: "Since the establishment of the first branch, the only financial problem that has occurred is the 10,000 yuan from Park In-chi.
Instead of investigating the responsible persons and reflecting on whether there are serious ideological problems at the main factory, you are just trying to blame others and mess with the good people?"

Li Ye raised his right hand and shouted sternly, "As a member of the D Committee, I formally propose that the superiors send auditors to our unit to conduct an investigation and give the employees a clean bill of health."

"."

Silence fell.

Mr. Wanke looked ashen and sweat was pouring down his face.

The "my unit" that Li Ye mentioned is not a branch factory. He wants to investigate all the bad accounts of the main factory as well!
When the factory manager was taken away for investigation, Section Chief Wan was scared to death. How could there be no problems with the finance department of a unit with leaks and deficits everywhere?
But in the end the big factory director was one step ahead and just let a bunch of small fish and shrimp fill the hole. There was no intention of digging deeper, and the Vanke director was lucky enough to get away with it. Now Li Ye suddenly brings up the old matter again. Is he trying to kill him?
You are a fool and don't know anything. Do you want to poke a hole in the sky?

Do you know how many people will be implicated if we dig deeper?
What good will it do for you? It wouldn't be surprising if you were suppressed to death for the rest of your life. Do you want both sides to suffer?

But if Li Ye really made a mistake, it is unknown what will happen to the factory director who has been transferred back to his hometown, but it is certain that something will happen to Section Chief Wan.

All the small fish and shrimps are cooked, now it’s time to put this two and a half kilograms big grass carp into the pot!
We are just having a little disagreement over a few trivial matters. It's not like we are taking gold out of your pocket. Do you have to be so angry?
Li Ye's behavior is going to offend most of the people in the unit! How can he carry out his work if a group of people are trying to trip him up?
However, facing the "ignorant" Li Ye, Director Wan Ke did not dare to anger him too much, and could only hope that Niu Hongzhang could come forward to mediate.

Niu Hongzhang's face was not looking good either. He was not sure of winning today. He just wanted to retreat by advancing, transfer the conflicting point of the dispute to the Finance Department, and then downplay the matter of Park In-ji.

But he didn't expect that Li Ye was so "unruly".

"Deputy Director Li, we will seriously study your opinion, but I want to remind you that all the accounts before 1988 have been finalized."

Niu Hongzhang subtly reminded Li Ye that the bad debts of the past would not be pursued any more, so he should not make things difficult for himself.

But before Li Ye could say anything, Ma Zhaoxian said, "Old Niu! I want to clarify something. The accounts before 1988 are not final. They are temporarily shelved. You came late and don't know the specific situation."

Niu Hongzhang's heart sank and his face became even uglier.

What Ma Zhaoxian said was obviously sarcastic. What does "you are late" mean?

Are you reminding me to pay attention to the first come first served principle and listen to your arrangements for "first come first served"?

Are you kidding? Why did the higher-ups send me here?
Niu Hongzhang's position was innovative and unique from a historical perspective, but some of his duties were actually somewhat similar to those of a governor in history.

During the Han Dynasty, the imperial court established the position of Inspector, which was originally intended to supervise the prefectures and counties below it, but it did not have much administrative power.

However, some people had gone astray in their thinking. They were nitpicking about everything and wanted to be involved in everything. All matters, big or small, in the county had to be reported to the governor first. As a result, the governor almost replaced the county magistrate in controlling the administrative power.

The situation was similar with the inspection agencies in the Ming Dynasty. I don't nitpick and I don't interfere in everything. So why do you come to me for help? Where do I get the power?

The extension of supervisory power to administrative power has always been inevitable, and any large-scale organization is bound to be like this. The more power-hungry a person is, the more he likes to block others.
Of course, they themselves may not know that they are blocking people, but they are "keeping gates" for the sake of lofty ideals and arduous tasks, preventing those selfish villains from committing crimes.

Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian are both villains.

Therefore, even though Niu Hongzhang was a "latecomer", he was unwilling to let villains like Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye "harm" the Light Automobile Company unscrupulously.

"Whether it's a final decision or a temporary one, we must abide by the decision from above. I will report this issue in detail to my superiors, and we will discuss it again after receiving relevant instructions!"

Niu Hongzhang made the decision that "everything is decided from above" and also showed an indisputable strong attitude.

Although the intention to interfere in the finances of a branch factory failed, Park In-ji's problem would be dragged on for a long time and eventually come to nothing.

Ma Zhaoxian smiled and did not bother with Niu Hongzhang anymore. Instead, he said calmly, "Then let's not discuss this for now. Li Ye, what are your plans and arrangements for the next step of the sales department of your first branch?"

Niu Hongzhang looked at Ma Zhaoxian and wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Park In-ji is definitely not allowed to serve as the sales chief anymore, so who should be the sales chief should be decided by a vote at the meeting, but now Ma Zhaoxian asked Li Ye, which is not in accordance with the rules.

But it is equally ridiculous to use a show of hands vote twice in one month, for the appointment of the same position.

Therefore, Niu Hongzhang thought that if it really didn't work out, he should let Ding Jiuchang temporarily reinstate his post and make plans later.

However, Li Ye unexpectedly did not suggest letting Ding Jiuchang serve as the sales chief again, but instead proposed another idea.

He took out a detailed record and calmly narrated: "Last month, we sent an inspection team overseas to study the overseas automobile sales situation.

After a month of study and understanding, we realized that our current sales thinking is outdated."

“Foreign auto manufacturers have corresponding promotional strategies and product positioning for each model. From the characteristics of the car series to the inheritance of car culture, they have complete and scientific strategies and dedicated sales staff.”

"So we decided to modernize the sales department of the first branch, cancel the name of the sales department, and change it to the marketing department. The marketing department is divided into three departments:
The three departments are responsible for the sales of Jingcheng 1041, Jingcheng Business Bread, and Jingcheng brand mini trucks respectively."

"."

Li Ye paused for a moment, looked at the confused people around him, and said without emotion: "Although the sales department of the first branch is full of talents, it is now facing new reforms and challenges, and the manpower is not so sufficient, so..."

"A branch has decided to publicly recruit a number of sales staff and at least three sales managers. Everyone will compete fairly and only the most capable ones will be promoted.

I hope that capable and interested management cadres will actively participate in this reform. As for the ranks of these three managers, they need to be discussed and approved in a meeting."

Everyone in the conference room, except Ma Zhaoxian and Lu Zhizhang, stared at Li Ye in a daze.

[What does this guy mean? Is he encouraging us to work as sales managers in a branch factory?]

[What does this manager mean? Ma Zhaoxian is the general manager, and there is also a manager on the Hong Kong side.]

[This manager's position should not be very high, but what about the salary? Why doesn't Li Ye talk about the salary? Forget it, no need to ask, it must be higher than Niu Hongzhang. The salary plus bonus of a salesperson is three or four hundred.]

A good manager must learn to paint a big picture and also learn how to divide the big picture.

In three years, the plate of a branch factory has expanded tenfold. This pie must be big enough. People don’t even need to draw it to know that it must be delicious.

It’s just that Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian used to guard the place very strictly and rarely let in outsiders, so everyone could only stare with wide eyes and drool.

Now Li Ye actually took the initiative to invite "capable cadres" to join. Has he finally changed his character?
Of course not.

Niu Hongzhang's style is to let the cadres of the general factory take power.

Li Ye's approach was to recruit outstanding employees from the main factory to work there.

The initiative is different and the work done is also different.

But everyone no longer considered these things. They only considered whether the finance department, production department, and personnel department of a branch factory should all be changed into the finance department and the personnel department? To create a new place for everyone?
[Alas, Lao Pu is so stupid! If he had just persisted a little longer, he could have become a manager, but now he has learned from the past and must learn a lesson.]

While everyone was thinking about their own things, some people suddenly remembered Park In-je and felt sorry for what happened to him.
