That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1377 Ten Times More Troublesome

Because Li Ye stopped all research related to Kamas, visitors couldn't "observe" for long periods of time. After all, there's no one to explain things to you, so what's the point of visiting?
However, when Shang Bin and his group had to leave, Li Ye saw several people from Southwest Heavy Truck looking "reluctantly" at some KamAZ research samples.

Wu Yan immediately moved closer to Li Ye and whispered, "Director Li, it seems we were right. These people aren't here to visit; they're here to steal."

The "visits" in the 1980s and 90s were just so-so.

Li Ye has been working for six years and has received at least 30 to 50 visiting groups. It is no exaggeration to say that no more than one-tenth of them actually learn anything during their visits. Most people are looking forward to the subsequent hospitality and the gifts when they leave.

So even Wu Yan noticed the strangeness in these people.

After all, an expert can tell a lot just by looking at their work, and the point that these people are so reluctant to let go of is precisely the difficulty in the Kamas project.

"Hum~"

Li Ye chuckled softly and said, "If he manages to steal the stuff, you can forget about your bonus this quarter."

Wu Yan curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Don't try to use bonuses to talk to me all the time. I wouldn't take a single penny of my salary and give our stuff to thieves."

"Okay, as long as you know what you're doing."

Li Ye trusted Wu Yan quite a bit. From the very first day the technical department of the first branch factory was established, Li Ye set up a relevant confidentiality mechanism, which was later perfected by Wu Yan to cover every blind spot, basically eliminating 99% of spying.

The difficulties that those people from Southwest Heavy Truck were concerned about have actually been addressed by Wu Yan, either vaguely or by redirecting the technical approach in a different direction.

Unless you have exceptional technical skills and spend a long time squatting on the ground studying it carefully, it's difficult to see the real thing.

Of course, there are some "secret" parts in the KamAS project that can't withstand scrutiny from technical experts, but unfortunately, Wu Yan removed those parts in advance, so outsiders can't see them at all.

After viewing Kamas's project, there wasn't much else to see, so the group started to leave.

But at this moment, Shang Bin asked curiously, "Director Li, I heard that your company has four or five hundred engineers, but it doesn't seem like that many. Are there other places we haven't visited yet?"

Li Ye glanced at Shang Bin and said with a smile, "We have four or five hundred technical personnel, but not all of them are engineers in R&D positions. After all, both the workshop and after-sales service require technical personnel, so it's impossible to concentrate them in one place."

Shang Bin's lips curled up, and he said with a playful smile, "Really? Then I must have misheard. Someone said that you have more than 470 people in the R&D positions alone, and with the technicians in other positions, you have nearly a thousand people!"

At this moment, Judge Yao, who had barely spoken since the start of the visit, finally looked over.

Li Ye's smile widened, but inwardly he sneered.

Who the hell told you that? Niu Hongzhang?

There are indeed four or five hundred R&D positions in the first factory, including college and vocational school students, "workers-in-training" personnel promoted from the grassroots level, such as Master Mu, a level seven worker, and highly talented workers like Chen Yazhi.

In a technical department with such a complex composition, where people are frequently transferred to other branch factories, apart from a handful of people like Li Ye, Lu Zhizhang, and Wu Yan, no one can accurately determine the number of employees. So how did Shang Bin, a complete outsider, manage to get to this level of knowledge?

Moreover, Shang Bin said this in front of Yao Ting, which was clearly telling Yao Ting that he was hiding his true intentions and not treating Yao Ting as a cadre!

This kind of person is ten times more troublesome and ten times more despicable than Niu Hongzhang.

Perhaps because the light vehicle company made a big mistake, the higher-ups sent Niu Hongzhang, such a distinctive "role model," to take control of the situation.

Niu Hongzhang cultivated the path of a "sage," demanding the utmost of himself, but Li Ye felt no psychological pressure whatsoever when he slammed his fist on the table and cursed at Niu Hongzhang. However, when it came to the level of fighting with his own people, Li Ye believed he was still far from being the former factory director, much less comparable to someone as thick-skinned and ruthless as Shang Bin.

Looking at Shang Bin in front of him, Li Ye hated him to no end, but because "you can't hit a smiling face," he could only play the scheming game he hated the most.

"President Shang, our R&D departments are actually quite scattered, with some in Shunyi, some in Dongshan, and some in Xicheng, so naturally, not many of them are stationed here."

Southwest Heavy Truck is a leading heavy truck manufacturer in China, and we greatly admire its heavy truck technology and experience.

As Mr. Shang just mentioned, our two companies should learn from each other. Therefore, today we mainly arranged a visit and discussion related to Kamaz. Now that the visit is over, shouldn't we set aside some time for further discussion?

Yao Ting's expression softened, because he and the people from Southwest Heavy Truck had come today to discuss things with the Light Vehicle Company.

Shang Bin reacted quickly; as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, he let out a hearty laugh.

"Hehehe, really? Director Li's words make us feel ashamed. We do have some experience in heavy trucks, but we can't be called the top in the country. However, since Director Li has said so, none of us can keep anything to ourselves, right?"

"Of course I can't keep anything to myself, hehehe~"

[I'll hide your sister!]

Li Ye also smiled, his face twitching.

"One is influenced by one's company," and he had only been in contact with Shang Bin for a short time, yet he had already learned to fake a smile.

But Shang Bin's smile was even brighter than Li Ye's. He pointed to the innermost workshop and said, "Director Li, I heard you've just started a new project. Could we take a look? You can't keep anything from us!"

"."

Li Ye's smile remained unchanged, but his back teeth were clenched tightly together.

The innermost workshop is the dedicated R&D area for the "Akina Mountain God Car," and it was locked today.

However, Shang Bin pointed it out very clearly.

Director Yao asked with a half-smile, "Hey, does Branch Factory One have another new project? That's great news! In the past two years, Branch Factory One has had one new project every year, which really makes us proud."

Li Ye lowered his brows and smiled softly.

"We really can't keep this from everyone anymore. We do have a new project, but because we're currently applying for a patent, we haven't been able to open it up to the public as a precaution. However, since everyone is interested, we'll share it with you today."

Yao Ting paused, then suddenly realized something, and was about to say, "There's no need to look."
But Li Ye had already raised his head and pointed at the large lock.

"Open the door."

As the saying goes, "Don't adjust your shoes in a melon patch, or straighten your hat under a plum tree." You already know about my new project, so you must also know that it's a confidential project. But you still want to see it. Are you prepared to take on certain responsibilities?

Especially Director Yao, since you've already gotten involved, then come in too!

You'd better make sure my patent application is fine. If there's a problem with my patent application, then I'll come after you.

You've already seen it, and you're saying it's none of your business? What proof do you have?
