That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1231 They are pursuing the same thing (two in one)

The day before leaving the lighthouse, Li Ye brought Wu Yan and Lao Jie to his manor.

In the past few days, Niu Hongzhang's tone has become more and more severe when he called. Although Wu Yan didn't say much to Li Ye, Li Ye could feel his emotional changes.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. The dozen or so people who came to the lighthouse already knew that something had happened at home, so how could the people in the technical department at home not know?

【Those who disrupt the morale of our army shall be punished.】

In addition, a lot of things will happen in the world over the next year or so, and the disintegration of our northern neighbor will cause the final wave of strong shocks to the situation in the mainland.

Therefore, Li Ye thought that he should "stabilize the morale of the troops" and let the two most important technical leaders under him know a little about his own strength.

After all, the two of them are Li Ye's confidants, and confidants cannot do stupid things, let alone be fence-sitters.

Only if the core team is stable, no matter how strong the wind and rain are, it will not matter.

"Beyond this fence, it's our land."

As soon as he entered the manor, Li Ye introduced it frankly: "I bought this manor when I came to Dengta for internship in 1986. I spent about two million at that time. Later, I started working and never came here again. But my family would come here often to stay for a few days."

"I have someone grow some grapes, and we make some wine every year. When you leave later, take a few bottles with you and give them to your parents-in-law when you go back. You can call them your personal collections, regardless of the price."

"."

Li Ye explained to the two people while driving, but they did not speak. They just looked out of the car window, just like Xiao Douer did when he arrived at the lighthouse.

Because Li Ye said when he entered the door just now that the area within the fence was his private territory. The sight of mountains, water, fields and land everywhere surprised the two.

Wu Yan was a little better off because he knew that Li Ye's good brother Li Dayong was rich, and Li Ye was also relatively wealthy, but the amount of two million US dollars was still too much for them.

It's unreal that Li Ye, who eats in the cafeteria with them every day, has two million US dollars.

It was not until Li Ye drove the car to the main house that Wu Yan suddenly asked, "How big was this manor you said just now?"

Li Ye said: "More than a thousand acres!"

"That's more than 6,000 acres?"

Wu Yan quickly calculated and said, "You are definitely a local tyrant. If it were a few years ago, you would have been forced to work as a street sweeper."

Li Ye glanced at Wu Yan and said with a faint smile: "Yes! So until now, I dare not reveal it to everyone. You two must not tell me! I don't want to sweep the streets."

"Don't show off to us. Isn't it enough to know that you have money?"

Wu Yan laughed and scolded, "What era is it now? Why don't you give me this manor and I will sweep the streets for you every day."

Li Ye also smiled and said, "Do you dare to take it? If you dare, I will give it to you."

Wu Yan waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. I have hands and feet, why should I ask you to give it to me? You just need to tell me how to make a lot of money like you and buy a manor."

Li Ye laughed and said, "That's easy. Just go and write a novel that becomes a global bestseller."

"."

Wu Yan and Lao Jie were both stunned for a moment, and then Wu Yan suddenly said, "I remember that you boasted in the factory that you published your works in Hong Kong Island and earned US dollars. Can you earn two million US dollars for a novel? Isn't this too much?"

"Why? You don't suspect that I bought it with public money, do you?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "You can go to any bookstore in Lighthouse and buy a book called A Song of Ice and Fire. It was written by my wife and I. You can ask the bookstore owner if the money I earn is enough to buy this manor."

Wu Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then lowered his head dejectedly: "I won't ask. It's useless to ask. I can't write novels. Besides, I don't doubt you. You didn't even start working in 1986."

And Lao Jie suddenly asked: "Director Li, did you invest the foreign exchange in our factory?"

Li Ye said frankly: "Yes, there is a share of mine in it."

“That’s right.”

Lao Jie suddenly realized and said, "My wife and I have always had a question. It is clear that the people in Hong Kong are very stingy, but when investing in our factory, they are very generous. So this is the case."

Li Ye said with a smile: "Old Jie, what are you talking about? Who told you that people in Hong Kong are stingy?"

Lao Jie said gloomily, "When my wife and I went to Hong Kong Island for medical treatment, Mr. Pei's people were definitely very enthusiastic, but some other people were not very friendly."

Wu Yan also said: "Li Ye, I'm not targeting you! From what I've seen and heard over the years, the richer people are, the more stingy they are. People like you are an exception."

"What you said is wrong!"

Li Ye said seriously: "If the richer the people, the more stingy they are, then why did those wealthy Malaysian Chinese donate so much during the Anti-Japanese War?
Even when the government was aware of corruption, the donations continued.”

The old man couldn't come up with an answer, and Wu Yan couldn't answer it either.

Li Ye looked at the two of them, and then said, "Besides, whether someone is stingy or not is determined by comparison. For example, if you go to an ordinary worker to borrow money, he will generously give you all his savings, but if you go to a wealthy relative to borrow money, he will refuse to give you a penny.
You said the richer you are, the stingier you are, isn't that right?"

Wu Yan immediately said, "Yes, that's right, that's it."

Li Ye sighed and said, "Have you ever thought about why they are like this?"

Wu Yan blinked his eyes, shook his head and said nothing.

What he actually wanted to say was "the rich are unkind", but he always felt that Li Ye had something else to say.

Li Ye said: "Ordinary workers usually put their savings in the bank, which pays a fixed interest rate every year. After lending it to you, the favor you owe is the interest."

"But your wealthy relative may not keep the money in the bank. He may invest it. Although investment may have gains and losses, it has infinite possibilities.

Therefore, many rich people always feel that no matter how much money they make, it is not enough. If you ask them to borrow money, they will think that you are not borrowing money, but a hen that lays golden eggs.
Think about it, how close are you to your relative for him to be willing to give you the chicken?"

"."

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, staring at Li Ye and said, "How close are you to our factory to lend us money again and again? Our factory is a public institution."

These days, it is possible for public institutions to owe money and not pay it back.

Wu Yan has been dealing with Li Ye for so many years, and he believes that Li Ye is not the kind of smart person who is willing to spend a small amount of money to "swallow an elephant", so he really doesn't understand why Li Ye is so "generous".

Li Ye said calmly: "You ask me how close I am? You two have both studied, can you tell me how close you are to the motherland?"

"."

Wu Yan and Lao Jie were speechless.

They learned the four words "Motherland" when they were in elementary school, but they always felt that it was a very distant thing, so distant that the people who could create these four words are almost dead.

Even now, many people begin to laugh at the older generation and call them fools.

But when Wu Yan and Lao Jie thought carefully about Li Ye's style in recent years, it seemed to be in perfect harmony with his style.

"You don't believe it, do you?"

Li Ye smiled, then said seriously: "Let me ask you, if our government is as powerful as the lighthouse now, when you were detained a few days ago, would you still panic and reveal your family situation to others?"

"."

Lao Jie was touched by Li Ye, but he did not get angry. Instead, he thought carefully and said, "No, because this kind of thing will never happen. They dare not blackmail us."

"Yes, I think so too. The Malaysian Chinese decades ago, and many of our predecessors, all thought so."

“When you don’t have much money, it doesn’t matter whether you are stingy or not. It’s all personal freedom. But when you have a lot of money, you will gradually start to think about how to spend the money meaningfully.”

Li Ye didn't speak too bluntly to Lao Jie and Wu Yan, because speaking too bluntly would sound unpleasant.

If you have less money, you can be stingy. If you have a lot of money, you have to be generous, because there are wolves surrounding you and you must have a backer.

Isn’t the motherland our greatest support?
When our motherland becomes strong, you can be strong wherever you go.

Do the flower growers who went abroad in 1990 have the same confidence as those who went abroad thirty years later?
Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, this is not just empty talk.

After Comrade Chuan came to power, he stunned the whole world with his barrage of punches.

Everyone thought that the flower-growing family would face a difficult struggle for a long time to come.

As a result, Baba Yang won the game with a score of 0 to 6, and in less than two days, the negotiation between the top two in this world was over.

This result stunned countless financial bloggers and international situation experts.

[Are you two playing house? ]

But when those other smart guys who were waiting for Brother Long to help them also wanted to get the same treatment as the flower growers, they were still beaten up.

Don’t think that just because he can do it, you can do it too. He can do it for his own reasons. If you think you can do it, take out the truth and see for yourself.

And Li Ye just wanted to add his own strength to the sword that won dignity.

Anyway, he has so much money that he can't spend it all in his lifetime. If he doesn't do something meaningful, what's the point of living this life?

"Tap~tap~tap~"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Fu Guiru, Wen Leyu and Fu Yiru came back.

Fu Guiru and Xiao Baoer rode together in the front and approached Li Ye and others briskly.

When Xiao Baoer saw Li Ye, he said excitedly: "Dad, Dad, look, grandma took me to pick grapes, hunt rabbits, and catch fish."

It was then that Li Ye discovered that there were two rabbits, several fish, and a bulging cloth bag hanging under the necks of Fu Guiru and others' horses.

Fu Guiru has been very busy flying back and forth in recent years. These days, she has been living in the manor with her children and grandchildren and is having a very comfortable time.

"Li Ye, is your colleague here? Stay for dinner tonight!"

"Okay okay."

"."

After Fu Guiru and Xiao Baoer entered the kitchen, Wu Yan asked in a low voice: "Li Ye, is that your son?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes! Didn't you hear him call me dad?"

Wu Yan's face twitched and he pointed at Fu Guiru: "That's... your mother? Why is your mother so young?"

Wu Yan had been to Li Ye's child's full-month celebration, but he didn't remember it looking like this.

"Yes!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't doubt it, this is my biological mother. She went to Malaysia in the 1960s and now she has returned to the mainland to invest and build a factory. By the way, she is now the chairman of Pengcheng Red Bull."

Wu Yan and Lao Jie were dumbfounded again.

They had just overestimated Li Ye's wealth, but now it seems that it is still too low, ridiculously low.

They are not unaware of how popular Pengcheng Red Bull has been in mainland China in recent years.

Now think about Niu Hongzhang and his people. They treat Li Ye like a thief all day long and accuse Li Ye of "embezzling state property" at every turn. Don't you think it's ridiculous?

How much money does the Light Automobile Company have?

If the independently operated branch factory is excluded, the Light Automobile Company would be a pauper that cannot repay the bank loan. Is it necessary for Li Ye, a rich second-generation, to try to get those broken bricks and tiles?

"Let's go! I'll get you some wine first, and then we'll try the rabbits from the lighthouse. Let me tell you! No one eats the rabbits here, they're so fat."

"."

Li Ye took Lao Jie and Wu Yan on a tour, and each of them took more than a dozen bottles of wine.

When it was time for dinner that night, Lao Jie and Wu Yan still felt a little awkward.

But within five minutes, they let go without realizing it.

Both Fu Guiru and Wen Leyu were very enthusiastic and natural, making Lao Jie and Wu Yan not feel any discomfort at all. They had a happy meal together, just like ordinary friends who had known each other for a long time.

After finishing the meal, Li Ye sent the two back. Old Jie looked at Li Ye solemnly and asked in a deep voice: "Director Li, you called us here today, not just to let us eat and take, right?"

Li Ye said calmly: "Lao Niu has called you a lot these days, right?"

"I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, I have the ability to cover you. Our research must not stop, and our team must not disband."

"Don't underestimate the 'backward technology' we are researching now. What we are doing now is to make us as powerful as a lighthouse one day."

"."

Wu Yan looked at Lao Jie, and then said: "Li Ye, are you going to lead us to rebel? We have discussed it these days, and we will all follow you."

"Hey, hey, I didn't say anything about rebellion! We still have to follow the organization's arrangements."

Li Ye smiled and said, "After you go back, please explain to everyone clearly that my personal interests will definitely come after the interests of the country. Please supervise me together."

Wu Yan was stunned for a long time, and said helplessly: "What are you trying to do?"

"."

Wu Yan didn't understand, but Lao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is older than Wu Yan and has experienced more than Wu Yan, so he can understand Li Ye's meaning to some extent.

If Li Ye wanted to rebel, he would definitely follow him, but it would be better if Li Ye could solve the problem from above.

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye sent the two people to their residence and went back.

Wu Yan held onto Lao Jie and said, "Do you think what Li Ye said just now is true or false? He invested so much money in the first branch, how can he bear this? Does he have so much money that he has nowhere to spend it?"

Old Jie was silent for a long time, then looked up at Wu Yan: "What if he really has so much money that he has nowhere to spend it?"

"Nonsense! How can there be so much money that you have nowhere to spend it?"

“How much do you spend a month?”

"I don't spend a thousand dollars a month, but I want to save money for my children"

"Does Li Ye still need to save money for his children?"

"."

Wu Yan seemed to have figured out what was going on.

When a person has nothing to pursue in daily life, he will naturally pursue higher things.

And weren’t those Malaysian Chinese who donated money to support the war of resistance decades ago pursuing the same thing?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Li Ye brought Wu Yan back to Beijing. After getting off the plane, he began to arrange his employees.

"After leaving the airport, the company's car will take everyone home. You can take a rest today and tomorrow, and go to work the day after tomorrow."

"Director, why don't we not take a holiday and start working!"

"That's right, Director. We all gained some experience from this trip to the lighthouse. Let's make some achievements as soon as possible."

"Why rush? Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Take a break for two days and you will be more efficient at work."

Li Ye was of course happy to see a group of technicians working with great enthusiasm, but everyone had been out for so many days, and he had to let them go home to see their parents and pay their dues before they could go back to work.

But when everyone came out of the gate, they found that Lu Zhizhang came to pick them up, and Niu Hongzhang was also standing there with a gloomy face.

"Hiss, is the old cow here to pick us up?"

"Hey, pick us up? Is he that kind? Look at his face. I would believe him if he said he was here to arrest a criminal."

"What should we do? I heard that he wants us to suspend our research."

"Tsk, he can stop if he wants to? Do you think Director Li is anxious? Do you think the section chief and Lao Jie are anxious? The tall ones are not anxious, so why are you so anxious?"

"."

Li Ye had already seen Niu Hongzhang, but he pretended not to see him and only greeted Lu Zhizhang after leaving the gate.

"Old Lu, do you really need to come pick us up in person? What's the matter? Aren't you busy at home?"

"How can I not be busy? But no matter how busy I am, I have to come pick you up."

Lu Zhizhang took Li Ye's luggage with a smile, then nodded at Niu Hongzhang and gave Li Ye a look.

This time, Li Ye pretended to see Niu Hongzhang and said calmly, "Hey, Comrade Lao Niu, are you here to pick us up too? You are so polite. I am flattered. I am flattered."

"I'm not here to pick you up, I'm here to question you."

Niu Hongzhang asked gloomily, "Li Ye, on behalf of the department, I have repeatedly notified you to suspend the introduction of technology. Why didn't you obey the command and deliberately ignored the phone?"

Li Ye's face also turned cold, and he said coldly: "Did the department order me to stop working? Who approved it? Is there a document?"

Niu Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Li Ye, you are too arrogant. You even dare not listen to the opinions conveyed by the department."

Li Ye waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't put the blame on me. If it's a formal notice, I will obey it, but forget about verbal opinions. The efforts of so many people in a branch factory for several years cannot be abandoned just because of a casual verbal opinion."

"."

Niu Hongzhang looked at Li Ye and suddenly sneered, "Very good, I hope you can still be so tough tomorrow."

Li Ye said casually: "Don't worry, I will be so tough tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow."

"."

Lu Zhizhang pulled Li Ye and whispered, "After you get on the plane, the department has decided to hold a symposium to discuss this matter. The time is set for tomorrow."

Li Ye said indifferently: "Tomorrow is tomorrow! A symposium is not a criticism meeting."

In fact, Li Ye had already heard the news a long time ago. Although many people strongly pushed for this matter for their own interests, in the end it only won one sentence from a powerful boss in the department - I think this matter can be discussed.

He just moved his mouth above and the singing below was out of tune.

Boss: [This matter needs to be discussed. ]

Communicator A: [Let them stop for a while and discuss before making a decision. ]

Communicator B: [We must stop to avoid causing serious losses. ]

Niu Hongzhang: [Li Ye has committed serious violations and mistakes, and must be dealt with seriously to serve as a warning to others.]

Those who are trying hard to push this matter forward hope to destroy Li Ye's plan in this chaotic situation.

The self-developed project of the first branch has affected the interests of many people.

Jingcheng brand commercial vehicles are only half the price of similar imported products. If another factory is allowed to continue down this path, I don’t know how many people will be hindered from making money.

. . . . . . . . . .

The next day, Li Ye arrived at the Light Automobile Company in high spirits, waiting to see the faces of certain experts.

Since it is a symposium, of course experts and scholars will present their opinions and evidence to the leaders of the department, and then convince Li Ye and others to willingly smash the experimental equipment and break up the research team.

Otherwise, a branch factory has invested so much, no one can let all the hard work go to waste with just a few words!
The boss who supported the bold innovation of the first branch is still in office! You want to remove him without a reasonable reason?
joke.

At around eight o'clock, Wu Yan, Lao Jie and several core technical personnel also came over.

Wu Yan said, "Didn't you say half past eight? It's already twenty past eight, and those gentlemen are still coming on time?"

Li Ye glanced at Wu Yan, and then said, "I asked you to come here today to discuss technology with the other party. Don't be emotional when you talk, and convince others with reason."

"Okay, okay, convince me with reason."

Wu Yan curled his lips, then asked, "Li Ye, do you know who will be coming later?"

Li Ye casually said: "There should be a deputy director from the ministry, and several colleagues in the industry, and then a few experts and professors. One seems to be Professor Huang from Jilin University, and the other is Professor Ma from Shanghai University."

Wu Yan couldn't help but ask, "You have found out everything so clearly?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "If they are looking for trouble with me, I must find out their background!"

Lao Jie was more cautious and immediately asked in a deep voice: "Director Li, have they achieved any relevant achievements or presided over any important projects? If so, we should be careful."

"I haven't found any. Maybe they are all unknown people!"

"."
