That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1191 Excellent reputation

If Li Ye was a workhorse or a rookie in the workplace in his previous life, he might think that Jiang Xiaoyan's experience was an "accident."

The leader who originally appreciated me was suddenly transferred to another position, and then the new leader supported another colleague, causing all my efforts over the years to go down the drain.

This seems to be a helpless yet normal thing. If it happens to you, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

However, after seeing and hearing about a series of personnel changes in his life, Li Ye knew that the probability of such a thing happening was very small.

Because for cadres at the department level and above, every transfer is not so casual. It has to go through a series of bargaining and confrontation, and the final result is decided after various balances and compromises.

When the transfer order was sent over, the competition among all parties had actually ended, and the bright official seal was just a footnote to the end of a big drama.

So when you see the people who have been transferred are surprised and delighted, are caught off guard, sigh in front of their direct subordinates, and say that they really can't help, you have to think carefully.

Even if he was forced to leave because he had no other choice, he must have anticipated this.

At this level, you know what you are doing, so how come you don’t know anything when the time comes?
The dismissal and promotion of a table tennis player had already been foreshadowed! What about Jiang Xiaoyan, a powerful cadre in a ministry?
Saying that the transfer order came out of nowhere and caught people off guard is simply an excuse. In fact, the transfer is the result of years of meticulous planning, hard work, and interest games, and even the approval of a noble person.

After all these are confirmed, there is still a series of processes to go through, including proposal, recommendation, investigation, and public announcement. Each step is like walking on thin ice. How can there be any sudden surprises?

Li Ye cursed a few times, then asked Jiang Xiaoyan: "When your leader left, did he take a few people with him?"

Jiang Xiaoyan, who already had a bitter face, looked even worse. She could only nod aggrievedly and did not dare to agree in person.

That’s confirmed, Jiang Xiaoyan’s original leader was not a good person.

Before the transfer order was made public, that guy had already begun planning secretly and making final personnel preparations.

If Jiang Xiaoyan is a core confidant, then the other party will definitely open his heart to her at the first opportunity and take her away after promising her a bright future.

The second-level loyal subordinates may not be able to be taken away, but they will open their hearts to you, give you some key advice, support you before you leave, and transfer you to a key position, which can also be regarded as maintaining your interpersonal resources in the old unit.

Again and again, he will be praised at the handover meeting to add icing on the cake. People may also give him face because of his promotion.

But as soon as a leader like Jiang Xiaoyan left, she was demoted to a factory where times were tough and given the task of improving technology. So what do you think was the intention of the leader she had served all these years?
Isn't it worth wasting some of your resources on an honest child with no background?

"Well, a blessing in disguise. Xiaoyan, look at me. Am I not also doing well in a small unit? Now you have suddenly reached your position as deputy factory director, which is much higher than my starting point."

Li Ye comforted Jiang Xiaoyan for a few words, then smiled and said, "You came to Wen Leyu because you want some export orders, right? Are you planning to determine the research direction first, then apply for R&D funds, and then seek technical support from the institute?"

Li Ye said "then" several times in a row, and Jiang Xiaoyan nodded continuously, indicating that Li Ye was so smart and guessed everything.

Li Ye looked at Hu Man again: "Then why did Jiang Xiaoyan come to you? Did she feel that the technical support from the department was unreliable and sought help from her alma mater?"

Hu Man smiled ashamedly and said, "If you want to seek help from your alma mater, you shouldn't ask me for help? Who am I?" She felt that her former colleagues always wanted to laugh at her.

Then she asked me to help her analyze the research direction, and said she wanted to research products similar to the M270 rocket launcher.

I immediately poured cold water on her. Xiaoyan's company could only produce outdated 107MM rocket launchers, and they were not genuine products.

So aiming too high will only make you look bad, it is better to find the real buyers in the market and listen to their needs first."

Jiang Xiaoyan was anxious: "Who said that the products produced by our company are not genuine? We specialize in rocket research."

Hu Man responded in seconds: "Then why can't you find a buyer? That's not your job, but you are a simple-minded person, so you just demote yourself if I tell you to."

Jiang Xiaoyan was discouraged.

Because the aerospace department she belonged to was engaged in rocket research, it was indeed "not doing its job" for its subordinate enterprises to manufacture rocket launchers, as it was competing with other genuine military factories for food.

"Lighthouse's M270?"

Li Ye looked at Jiang Xiaoyan in surprise and couldn't help but say, "Xiaoyan, you are really ambitious! You dare to research such advanced things?"

Jiang Xiaoyan blushed and lowered her head, humming like a mosquito: "You said before that having no dreams is no different from being a salted fish."

"Li Ye, don't listen to her," Hu Man said, "Xiaoyan was just holding her breath and wanted to launch a big satellite, but the technical support promised to her by their researchers was just a joke, but she took it seriously."

The most hurtful thing is when your best friend sabotages you. Hu Man scolded Jiang Xiaoyan so much that she buried her head on her knees.

However, after listening to Hu Man's chatter, Li Ye said seriously: "Xiaoyan is right. People should have their own dreams. Moreover, the research institute where Xiaoyan used to work does have the foundation for researching M270. However, it is too early now!"

Jiang Xiaoyan had already raised her head and exclaimed excitedly, "Li Ye is the one who understands me", but Li Ye's last sentence, "It's too early", made her deflated again.

Although the M270 and the mainland's 107MM rocket launcher are both rocket launchers, the M270 was the best rocket launcher in the world in the 90s. In some countries, it is not even considered a rocket launcher but a tactical missile.

The 107MM rocket launchers that Jiang Xiaoyan's unit can produce now are at the technological level of the s and s, and many machinery factories in the mainland can produce them.

That's why Hu Man poured cold water on Jiang Xiaoyan. If the M270 was so easy to research, the research institute would have started it long ago. Why wait until Jiang Xiaoyan determined the research direction? But who would have known that a few decades later, the aerospace research institute where Jiang Xiaoyan worked developed a similar product that far surpassed the M270, and played a great role in promoting the research of rocket launchers in the mainland.

Because he really specializes in rocket research.

As soon as Norinco releases a product, China Aerospace Corporation immediately upgrades it to a better version. The two brothers compete with each other and take rocket launchers to a new level of "range 50, error 300".

So much so that some people jokingly say that the two brothers have a mortal feud. As long as there is overseas bidding, where there is the North there must be aerospace, and where there is aerospace there must be the North. Everyone competes with each other, promotes each other, and becomes higher and stronger.

It’s just that the current Aerospace Group does not have that capability, let alone Jiang Xiaoyan’s Dongjiang Military Factory, so Li Ye said it was too early.

Li Ye picked up the phone and said to Jiang Xiaoyan, "I'll call Xiaoyu now and ask her to help you make a deal. You should make some achievements first and gain a foothold in Dongjiang Factory, and then consider major research projects."

"OK then!"

"What's your attitude? Why don't you have any confidence?"

Li Ye scolded Jiang Xiaoyan, then called Wen Leyu, and it took him several tries before he got through.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, what's wrong with your phone? Why can't I get through for such a long time?"

"Stop talking. There's no signal in Pudong. There's no signal in the big city of Shanghai. I don't know where my sister-in-law spent all that money."

"Yes, I'll ask my sister-in-law later. I want to tell you something. Hu Man and Xiao Yan are here today."

Li Ye told Wen Leyu about Jiang Xiaoyan's predicament in detail.

Wen Leyu didn't hesitate and said directly: "You just want me to introduce Xiaoyan to you! Or do you want to invest in their Dongjiang factory?

If it's just matchmaking, it's easy. There are a few people who still owe me favors! If you want to invest in Dongjiang Factory, then I have to investigate carefully before deciding. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I don't want to waste money."

Li Ye said, "Let's make some connections for now! Xiaoyan has just taken office. No matter how big or small the deal is, let's make a deal for her first and let her gain a foothold in the factory."

Wen Leyu said cheerfully, "Okay then! I'll be back next week. Ask Xiaoyan to prepare some more product information and I'll bring it to her."

"Okay, then come back as soon as possible! Your daughter is going crazy."

"I know you can't control her, just spoil her."

"."

After arguing with his wife for a few words, Li Ye hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Then he asked Jiang Xiaoyan to go back and prepare some more product information.

But Jiang Xiaoyan said awkwardly: "The only thing we can produce now is the Type 63 107mm rocket launcher."

Li Ye smiled.

No wonder Jiang Xiaoyan had no confidence just now, and no wonder she wanted to research a "big satellite". It turned out that she also knew that the common products produced by her factory were too ordinary.

However, Li Ye had considered this issue before making the call.

"I've thought about this. You can go back and make a single-tube 107mm rocket launcher. The weight must be lighter than the existing products, but the range must be longer, at least 50% farther, otherwise it will not show its advantages."

“It must be able to be assembled and disassembled quickly, and have the simplest launch method.”

As Li Ye continued to talk, Jiang Xiaoyan and Hu Man both began to grin, and their grins got wider and wider.

Finally, Hu Man couldn't help but say, "Li Ye, if the range is increased by 50%, the launch weight will be even lighter, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all. Even if we sell it based on our connections, wouldn't that damage Xiaoyan's reputation?"

"Who asked you to guarantee accuracy?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "If you believe me, then we can highlight the concealed launch capability and the range advantage. As long as we significantly improve these two points compared to similar products, we can guarantee that they will continue to sell well and have a great reputation."

Saddam is about to start his attack in the Gulf region, and all Soviet weapons on the front battlefield will lose their reputation.
Jiang Xiaoyan's factory was barely able to make ends meet. Even if it produced more sophisticated products, it could not meet the technical requirements of the regular army.

But differentiated competition is different.

Some people just need a hit and run game.

So as long as you can carry it and shoot far, you can secretly fire a few shots in the middle of the night. It doesn't matter where you hit, the purpose is to scare you.

And don't underestimate the 50% increase in range. Most small countries can't do it. After all, there are only a few countries that understand propellant.
