That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1132: Don’t Worship the Wrong Temple Gate (Please Ask for Leave for One Update)
The spring of 1990 came early. The Spring Festival was just a few days after New Year's Day.

At this time of year every year, Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye would be exhausted for several days because they had to visit officials and receive visitors.

The word "go and visit" comes from "Yijianzhizhiding·Wu Erjiu", which generally means to go and visit.

The visits to flower-growing companies before the Spring Festival have another meaning of "maintaining relationships".

On weekdays, people may still have some taboos about moving around with each other, but it is much better before the Spring Festival, when people give each other New Year's gifts!

You give gifts, I give gifts, and everyone gives gifts, and over time it has become a tradition.

A branch factory is not small, so the demands for maintaining normal production are naturally high. Water, electricity, coal, iron ore, taxes and security are all taken care of, and the relationship between everyone is well maintained.

In this regard, Lu Zhizhang, who had worked in the factory office for decades, was definitely an expert. He had clearly arranged who should be sent to deliver the New Year's goods at what level of unit.

For example, some units can just send Lao Nie from the General Affairs Department to deliver the items, but some units require Lu Zhizhang or Li Ye to deliver them personally, and people will think you look down on them.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Ye found Lu Zhizhang and said, "Old Lu, have you finished visiting the families there? I still have four or five families to visit here! How about you help me share the two families? Otherwise, I won't be able to finish visiting them by New Year's Eve!"

"You still have four or five stores left to visit? Which ones?"

Lu Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, because the "burden" he gave to Li Ye was originally small, and now he had finished it, so how could Li Ye not have finished it?
Li Ye took out the notebook and pointed at it, saying, "Look, these are the five families. I decided to let Old Nie go to one of them instead of me. Otherwise, they would definitely stop me from leaving. They have been pestering me to drink heavily these days. When I get home, my children avoid me because they are intoxicated by the alcohol on me."

Lu Zhizhang suddenly realized: "I was wondering why you haven't finished walking yet! So you didn't just put your things down and leave?"

The purpose of visiting is to maintain relationships, not to ask people to do things at the last minute, so usually you just give something, say hello, and chat with the person in charge for a few minutes and that's it. But staying for drinks and meals right before the New Year, isn't that just causing trouble for others?
But Li Ye smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to put down my things and leave! But they held me back and wouldn't let me go. They kept me for dinner and we drank. Each meal took at least an hour."

"Good fellow~, it's over in an hour? Did you drink just to get me drunk?"

Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but laugh.

He knew Li Ye's alcohol tolerance. If they really started drinking, several people would not be able to resist.
Li Ye nodded and said, "That's what I thought. If we get them drunk, their words won't count. Otherwise, it will be hard for me to deal with them.

This one wants to send a relative to work here, and that one wants to get a permit to buy a few low-priced cars. How do you usually deal with such things?"

"Hahahaha~"

Lu Zhizhang laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

He felt a lot of pressure since he teamed up with Li Ye. Li Ye was very capable at a young age, which made him, the head of a branch, look "very mediocre".

Although Li Ye's ability is mainly "money", isn't money a magic weapon that can defeat all odds these days?

And now that Li Ye has finally admitted that he is not as "tactful" as Lu Zhizhang, how could Lu Zhizhang not feel happy?
Being tactful is also a very important ability!

People took the opportunity to seek benefits because they saw that Li Ye was honest and kept his word. If Lu Zhizhang had really gone there, they might not have put in that effort.

You have eaten and drank, but in the end you don’t keep your promise. Isn’t it a waste of effort?
Lu Zhizhang thought for a moment and said, "If you're willing, let me take care of the visits! You can receive them at home. Many people have given us gifts in the past few days."

"Okay then, it's decided."

Li Ye agreed immediately.

He is not the kind of person who wants to take power. If he did, he would not let others do such things as using his face for him! He wanted to take on all the liaisons with the outside world.

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye felt much more relaxed when receiving the "visits" at home. For those who were willing to leave and leave, he asked the General Affairs Department to return a local specialty to them. For those who wanted to dawdle and deepen the relationship, he would prepare three or five small dishes in the cafeteria, and send them off after they were full and satisfied. The main point was that I was the boss of my territory.

However, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, an unexpected "visiting" unit came, an unexpected visitor.

Zhucheng Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, Wang Jinyu.

The reason why it was said to be an accident was that the Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Plant in the City had no business dealings with the First Branch, not even a cooperative relationship at all.

We all don't have a cooperative relationship, so why are you visiting us?

However, Li Ye received Wang Jinyu grandly and even called back Lu Zhizhang who was outside.

In the third cafeteria, Li Ye first poured a glass of wine for Wang Jinyu, then smiled and said, "Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, right? If I'm not mistaken, you are not Deputy Director Wang now, right?"

"Last time I proposed the conditions for cooperation, you said when you left that you had no say. This time, I guess you have the final say?"

Wang Jinyu opened his mouth, feeling mixed emotions, and could only smile bitterly.

Wang Jinyu was born in 63 like Li Ye, only one month younger than Li Ye, so Li Ye called him Brother Wang.

The last time he came to Li Ye with sincerity, he wanted to introduce the 130 improved technology from a branch factory, but Li Ye put forward a condition that he could not accept - merger.

The motor vehicle manufacturing plant in the city can only get the technical support it needs most after it is merged into a branch plant.

At that time, Wang Jinyu was only the deputy director of the factory, so how could he make such a decision? So when he was leaving, he refused, saying that "my words don't count".

But now that I’m here again after two years, can I still use “my word doesn’t count” as an excuse?
And more importantly, Wang Jinyu did become the top leader in March. After more than half a year of management, he had straightened out the power within the factory and had complete control over the motor vehicle manufacturing plant in the city.

So this time he wanted to come and talk to Li Ye to see if he could get the best chance of cooperation.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye had just poured the wine and hadn't even started drinking yet, but he put forward the conditions again.

You want technology? Then merge, or forget it.

And Lu Zhizhang next to him was also secretly amazed.

He also thought that the conditions proposed by Li Ye were too harsh, and were just like "blatant robbery" like those of large units.

But now it seems that is not the case.

The first branch factory now has three best-selling models, especially the high-end Beijing brand commercial vehicles, which are in short supply. A car factory that can produce cars at the RMB 200,000 level is no longer a small unit and really has the capital to "rob openly".

"Brother Li, we agree in principle to merge with your company, but we want to make it clear that we can only merge into a branch factory, not the Light Automobile Company."

After Wang Jinyu finished speaking, Lu Zhizhang was shocked.

Li Ye said at the beginning that Wang Jinyu was good. At such a young age, he knew how to plan ahead and look for technology and ways out everywhere. He was bold, careful and courageous. He was a good material for a career. Unexpectedly, he was so courageous.

After hearing what Wang Jinyu said, Li Ye smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wang Jinyu said bluntly: "Because the technology we need is in the hands of your first branch, I can't go to the wrong place."
