That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1313 Tear it apart

Anyone who has ever worked in an organization knows one principle: never go against your superiors in public.

If the leader praised Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang as "young and promising" in front of so many people, it would be disrespectful for Li Ye to just keep eating in silence.

So when the leader said "those who get rich first should help those who get rich later," Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang immediately stood up with their wine glasses in hand.

Lu Zhizhang first made some polite remarks, and Li Ye followed up, saying, "To be honest, our branch factory contacted three companies this time, each with its own advantages. However, our branch factory's capabilities are really limited, so we only merged with the Eighth Machinery Factory."
However, many hands make light work; if everyone lends a hand, even the biggest difficulties can be overcome.
Director Lu and I have carefully calculated that we can only take in a maximum of one thousand more workers and two hundred more managers.
Therefore, I would like to state here that we are willing to provide corresponding assistance to any organization that is interested.

"."

Li Ye spoke with great righteousness, but everyone around him looked at him strangely.

Because everyone felt that Li Ye had said something to the leader, that the leader asked him to help Hongxing Factory get rich, but he wanted to take over the factory's workers and cadres, and that he was trying to dismantle Hongxing Factory.

Li Ye's words were loud, and naturally they reached Han Jinqu's ears, who was not far away.

Han Jinqu almost rushed over and fought Li Ye to the death.

Are you trying to break our Red Star Factory into pieces?

But were Li Ye's words wrong?

We are all state-owned enterprises. When the country is facing difficulties and can't take care of everything, we help the country alleviate some of the pressure. What's wrong with that?

After a moment of silence, the leader suddenly smiled.

Then he suddenly clapped softly.

Immediately, there was thunderous applause.

Han Jinqu's face turned deathly pale.

He has always felt that he has made great contributions to the country over the years, even if he has not made any significant contributions. Now that the factory is in trouble, the country has to help, even if it doesn't want to.

How can we just abandon state-owned enterprises that have dedicated themselves to the country for decades?

However, it seems that the government definitely wants to intervene, but it's hard to say how it will do so.

It's like a beggar who's about to starve. Whether it's roasted sweet potatoes or hamburgers, feeding him is a great achievement. Do you still want to order your own food?

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

Han Jinqu had no idea how he managed to get through the banquet that day.

After the leader led the applause, he felt that his end was near.

Because once the intention to "split up" was made, his Red Star Factory simply couldn't withstand the insatiable greed of certain people.

In the past two years, there have been constant attempts to poach workers from the Hongxing Factory, infuriating Han Jinqu to the point of rage, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Now, stealing workers is child's play.

As long as the higher-ups have that intention, all sorts of powerful figures will soon come knocking, using the slogan "many hands make light work" to divide up all the assets like workshops and equipment for him, while Han Jinqu can't even utter a fart.

Compared to some people, Li Ye, whom Han Jinqu hated so much, was even kinder than a living bodhisattva.

No, I have to go find him!

Han Jinqu thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally made up his mind to go to the No. 1 factory with dark circles under his eyes.

He was determined to corner Li Ye in the toilet today and get an explanation.

"At worst, I'll kowtow to him and admit my mistake, is that alright?"

When people are experiencing bad luck, their expectations tend to decrease.

In the first year, I must marry Liu Yifei, who is eighteen years old.

The following year, I decided against it and married Zhou Haimei, a woman past her prime.

[In the third year, I can accept so-and-so who is divorced and has a child.] But by the time Han Jinqu arrived at the first factory, the divorced woman with a child was already gone.

There are at least four or five organizations waiting to merge with Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang.

Moreover, Han Jinqu also saw Li Gang.

Han Jinqu couldn't help but ask, "Old Li, didn't you sign an outsourcing contract with the First Branch Factory? Why do you still want to be split up?"

Li Gang said calmly, "Our factory only has a little over a thousand people. After some research, we can decide not to split it up."

"."

Han Jinqu then realized that the four or five units on site were all medium-sized units with about a thousand employees. Since the branch factory said it could accept a thousand people, it could take over the whole thing.

[Is this so hot that even the splitting up can't keep up with the trend?]

With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, Han Jinqu awaited his fate in the reception room of the No. 1 factory. However, from morning until afternoon, neither Li Ye nor Lu Zhizhang came out to greet them.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What exactly does your factory manager mean?"

The employee in charge of receiving you said, "Our factory manager has important matters to attend to today. If you can't wait, you can come another day."

"Then, may I ask if we can schedule a time? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after that are all fine."

"We're not sure. Could you please leave your contact information? I'll report to our factory manager when he returns."

"Hehehe~"

Looking at the young girl in front of him, Han Jinqu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is it that's so important that you can't even be sure about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after that?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Our factory manager went to a meeting at the ministry. Whether it's a huge deal or not, I have no idea."

"."

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye really did go to the ministry for a meeting, and it was something truly momentous.

On the very day that Emerging Machinery Company was officially established, Gorbachev formally announced the dissolution of Sugo, and the red flag of the North had completely fallen.

The fall of a whale brings life to countless creatures; such a world-shaking event naturally triggers a series of chain reactions.

When Li Ye was notified to attend a meeting at the ministry, he was somewhat prepared.

Because his classmate Sun Xianjin had already made a move before the red flag was even lowered.

Sun Xianjin had previously followed Li Ye's "advice" and kept in touch with his classmates in the north. This time, he finally seized the opportunity and submitted a well-prepared report to his superior in advance.

This report clearly points out that Sugo's current economic situation is extremely dire, and local elites have a strong desire for foreign trade. It welcomes insightful individuals to come and discuss cooperation.

Although the report did not have a groundbreaking effect, when the red flag was lowered, the ministry reacted immediately and decided to form an inspection team to go to Su'e to investigate the technologies and resources that could be introduced.

However, when the ministry decided to form an inspection team, it encountered a problem, which can be described as everything being ready except for the final push.

Whether it's importing technology, equipment, or resources, it all requires money, specifically foreign money.

Despite being a former communist country, the Soviet Union does not recognize the RMB, and for a long time, its foreign exchange reserves were in Swiss francs.

There are plenty of government agencies and enterprises that share the same ideas as the Ministry of Machine Building now. Everyone wants to grab a piece of the pie, and the country's limited foreign exchange reserves are simply not enough to go around.

Therefore, Li Ye, this reclusive little tycoon, has become the focus of much attention.

Xue Bu and Wen Qingsheng were like brothers all the time, so of course Xue Bu knew something about Li Ye. He immediately added Li Ye to the inspection team's list and then called Wen Qingsheng to say nice things to him.

After all, Wen Qingsheng's workplace would most likely be heading north to find food, and since he had "kidnapped" someone's son-in-law, he naturally had to have a good talk about it.

But this time, Wen Qingsheng showed Xue Bu what "vision" truly meant.
