That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1202 Our Xiaoyan Doesn’t Eat Pancakes

"Director Hai, you are too polite. I am here just to accompany you for drinks today. Please don't say anything about how lucky I am."

"General Manager Li, you're joking. If we ask you to drink with us, we won't be able to drink any more wine today. Hahahaha~"

"Hehehe"

Director Hai was particularly enthusiastic towards Li Dayong. Li Dayong was also quite considerate at the beginning, but then he became more and more indifferent, and even gave Jiang Xiaoyan a covert look.

Li Dayong’s identity as the “brother-in-law of a Hong Kong businessman” is indeed a bit dazzling these days, but Li Ye is the guest of honor today, okay?
Although Li Ye's character would not be like those arrogant young men who would make trouble for Qiao, because such a small matter would make you feel uncomfortable to death,
But Li Ye has a good temper, is Wen Leyu also good-tempered?

We have just facilitated an export business for your Dongjiang factory, but your factory director can't tell the big and small Wang apart now. Do you still want to maintain this line in the future?

This line is your capital, Jiang Xiaoyan, okay?

However, Director Hai's next words made everyone understand why he valued Li Dayong so much.

"General Manager Li, you don't know that our Dongjiang Factory also had the opportunity to convert from military to civilian use in 1984, and one of the converted products at that time was sewing machines.

However, the gunfire in the south had not stopped at that time. Our old factory director felt that there was still a lot of room for development in military product production, and he was unwilling to give up years of military product research technology.
But we didn’t expect that the war in the south would stop just a few years ago. The wages of thousands of people in our factory are not small. Now the country is in trouble and we are asked to find a way out ourselves.”

Li Dayong was surprised and asked, "From what Director Hai said, do you want to transfer from the military to civilian use?"

"Ah~"

Director Hai sighed and said, "Opportunities are rare and can never be found again. Our factory missed the chance to receive support from above. It is not easy to switch production now. First of all, we have difficulty in obtaining funds. Our factory has been applying for funds since the year before last, but the above-mentioned authorities have always said that it is difficult."

"Our factory has been an old military factory for many years. We have the technology and workers, but we lack money. Just like the Changbei Machinery Company where General Manager Li works, it was in the same situation as us. As long as there is a little investment, it will definitely be reborn."

Hearing Director Hai start to complain continuously, Li Ye and Li Dayong both guessed what the other party meant - to attract investment.

Since 1984, the country has seen a shift from military to civilian use. For example, Jialing Motorcycles in Shancheng, Xinfei Refrigerator in Henan Province, and Changhong TV in Sichuan Province are all relatively decisive transformation cases.
However, among so many military factories in the country, only a few can decisively win large projects. Most people only think of passively seeking change when times get tough.

But now the RMB is still anchored to gold on the surface, unlike after 1995 when it began to be anchored to the US dollar and a basket of currencies. Even if one wants to over-issue it, there are many restrictions, so there is not much money to lend to state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, many companies later even fell to the point of selling popsicles. It is no joke that those who make rockets are not as good as those who sell tea eggs.

So at this time, if Director Hai suddenly meets a wealthy foreign businessman like a Hong Kong businessman, wouldn't he become a hot commodity?

Although one of the branches also received investment from Hong Kong, the mainland still holds the dominant position. There are too many rules and regulations. How can a Hong Kong businessman like Li Dayong, who is the brother-in-law of the boss, have the final say?

But if you want to attract investment, you must first correct your attitude. You just express your difficulties but don't take the initiative to beg. How can Li Dayong respond?

It's just like Comrade Chuan. We have been waiting for a call from the University of Tokyo, but even if we wait until we die, it will not come!

Li Dayong looked at Li Ye, then asked Director Hai: "Director Hai, didn't you make a few export deals a few days ago? Why is life in the factory still difficult?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Fortunately, the export deals we made a few days ago have solved our urgent needs. Otherwise, I would not be able to continue as the factory director. I would like to thank Director Li for his great help. Let me toast you first."

Director Hai seemed to have reacted as well, and raised his glass to Li Ye repeatedly to express his gratitude.

Li Ye clinked glasses with the other party in a casual manner, then said with a smile: "We have been classmates and friends with Jiang Xiaoyan for many years. Now that Xiaoyan has come to your Dongjiang Factory, we must support her work to the best of our ability. So instead of thanking me, Director Hai should thank Jiang Xiaoyan."

"Of course I have to thank you!"

Director Hai said openly: "When we mobilized all the cadres to look for friends for help, we promised her that if she could solve the current difficulties of our factory, she would be a hero of our factory and could be allocated a 70-square-meter building in our factory."

Li Ye chuckled and asked, "A building of 70 square meters is not small! Is this the new building your factory built?"

Director Hai shook his head slightly: "How can our factory have the money to build a new building? It was vacated by others, and many people are eagerly watching it! In order to give it to Jiang Xiaoyan, we held two meetings."

"."

Li Ye raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.

Since it was a vacated house, who vacated it? Could it be that it was vacated after the former deputy director was transferred?
Since it was the former deputy director's house, shouldn't it be given to the new deputy director Jiang Xiaoyan? How could he have the nerve to give it out as a reward?
But Li Ye thought about it and it made sense. First, they "blocked" what you deserved, and then gave it to you as a sweet reward after you made a contribution. Isn't this an advanced version of "painting the pie"? I have experienced it myself!

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoyan didn't want to eat this bowl of pancake.

After Director Hai finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyan said calmly: "Director Hai, I said before that I don't need the company's house, so I'll give that house to someone else." Director Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Deputy Director Jiang, but since our factory made a promise at the beginning, this reward should be well-deserved, otherwise our employees will think that our factory doesn't keep its word!"

But Jiang Xiaoyan said stubbornly: "Director Hai, I really don't need a house. I have my own house. It is not in compliance with regulations to take the factory's house."

"."

Jiang Xiaoyan's stubbornness made Director Hai a little uncomfortable. There are so many people watching this house! We gave Jiang Xiaoyan a single girl, and we gave her face, but you still don't want it?
Seeing the awkward situation, another colleague of Jiang Xiaoyan hurried to smooth things over, "Haha, Deputy Director Jiang, you are too modest. Your house is your house, and the house in the factory is a reward given to you by our factory. There is no conflict at all."

【There is no conflict. 】

Li Ye sneered in his heart.

This house should have originally belonged to Jiang Xiaoyan, but now it has become a sweet reward. And when Jiang Xiaoyan is at an important juncture in her upward progress, this might become a handle for stabbing her in the back.

This is a political trick used by superiors to control their subordinates. You'd be crazy if you believed it.

So Li Ye smiled and said: "Our old classmate is such a straightforward person, he doesn't tolerate any nonsense and will never do anything that doesn't conform to the rules.
As for Jiang Xiaoyan's family situation, Director Hai, you have also seen it. My aunt dotes on her very much. She has already prepared a house and a car for her, so she doesn't pursue money or material things.
She can now work hard on her career. I hope you can understand this. But this is in line with our ideal when we were applying for university - to work hard for the prosperity of our motherland all our lives."

Li Dayong also said: "Hahahaha, Li Ye, when you said this, it really reminded me of those days. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Sun Xianjin also said: "Isn't it? Back then we were eating hotpot and talking about our ideals in Zaojun Temple, but ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we still haven't achieved anything."

"."

Li Ye, Li Dayong and Sun Xianjin were "reminiscing about the past" on their own, which aroused the emotion of everyone around them, but a sharp light flashed in Director Hai's eyes.

Originally, Director Hai only used a few words of encouragement to get Jiang Xiaoyan to use her connections to bring the company a considerable export order, so he determined that Jiang Xiaoyan was a simple and honest technician, and a few words of praise and a few banners could make her excited and willing to contribute.

[He's just an honest kid, so what if he's a classmate? ]

But today, after arriving at Lao Chen's Noodle Restaurant, Director Hai discovered that Chen Jinhua had an Audi 100, which was even more advanced than his own car.

After asking carefully, I found out that Chen Jinhua now owns more than a dozen chain restaurants, and the annual output value is equivalent to that of a small or medium-sized factory.

At this time, Director Hai had actually already started to look at Jiang Xiaoyan with new eyes. Now, after hearing the conversation between Li Ye and others, he couldn't help but become wary of Jiang Xiaoyan.

[Are you reminiscing about the past? Are you laughing at me for being stingy? You don't even like a 70 square meter house. What do you want?
Do you want me to give the position of factory director to Jiang Xiaoyan? Can she handle such a heavy burden? 】

Just when Director Hai was wondering in his heart, Li Dayong suddenly spoke.

"Our production plan has been full for the past two years, so we have a lot of outsourcing contracts for mechanical processing. Director Hai, does your factory have any spare production capacity?"

Director Hai smiled and said, "Of course there is! Mechanical processing is our specialty. Whether it is military or civilian products, as long as they can produce benefits, we will be grateful. I just don't know how much your contract amount is?"

Li Dayong said: "It's hard to say. It depends on the specific situation. Sometimes it's hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions or more."

[Hey guys, you are fishing with me here? ]

Anyone who can reach the position of factory manager is not a fool, and they all understand the truth that "any resources in the world need to be exchanged."

And exchange has always been based on the exchange principle of "what you don't have, I have". If you are short of money, I will give you money. If you are short of love, I will give you love.

Now you live in a large yard of several hundred square meters. What’s the point of me giving you a small apartment of 70 square meters?

So, Jiang Xiaoyan, what exactly do you need?

Li Ye has already spoken for Jiang Xiaoyan.

[She wants a career, she wants to contribute to the country, she wants rights, do you understand? ]

Now that Jiang Xiaoyan has arrived at the Dongjiang Factory, don't think she is a child with nothing. She has the resources that your factory needs.

Positions like deputy D committee member with voting rights on major issues, and authority to promote young talents. You must arrange them all, otherwise you'd better not say anything. Our Xiaoyan doesn't want to be asked for big rewards.
