That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1384: Exiled to Lingnan
"Director Li, the leaf springs from our factory definitely meet national standards, and compared with similar products on the market, their quality is absolutely top-notch."

When faced with Li Ye's questioning, Director Sun only hesitated for a moment before launching into a long and detailed explanation.

Indeed, the leaf springs produced by Director Sun are not considered "inferior products" on the market; they are simply "downgraded" from the original product.

If it weren't for the cost-cutting measures, Li Ye would have already pursued his liability according to the contract.

"Duo duo duo~"

Li Ye tapped the table, interrupting Director Sun's explanation, and then calmly said, "Old Sun, we're both sensible people, I won't beat around the bush with you."
The contract I initially signed with you was based on the products you provided at that time. Now that your products have changed, our contract also needs to be amended.

We've been working together for so long, I won't close the deal with this one time. We'll hold a new round of supply bidding at the end of this year. You can submit whatever goods you can supply us for the bidding. We can't do something like putting up a false front and selling something else entirely.

"."

Factory Director Sun swallowed hard, inwardly groaning.

I participated in the bidding meeting held by the No. 1 factory with 120% sincerity, and then enjoyed four or five good years.

Will I be able to win the bid this time?
Fu Lianbing's factory was a steel rolling mill under the First Steel Plant. Even if it was on the periphery and not valued, the raw materials they could obtain were guaranteed.

Leaf springs are a relatively simple technology; the raw materials account for about 80% of the technology. Otherwise, why would so many people use car leaf springs to make kitchen knives? It's because the raw materials are of high quality.

Judging from Li Ye's current attitude, he definitely won't allow bidding with superior products. If the supply is "slightly downgraded," then Director Sun's unit will be lucky to get second place and make a little profit.

Factory Director Sun left dejectedly, and Li Ye then called Pan Dachuan over.

He pushed the two sets of test data to Pan Dachuan and asked directly, "Haven't you noticed that the quality of the goods supplied to us by Factory Director Sun has been getting worse year by year?"

Pan Dachuan stared blankly at Li Ye for a long time before lowering his head and saying, "I had the quality inspection department test it, and they told me it meets national standards."

"Oh~"

Li Ye looked at Pan Dachuan with disappointment, and after a long while said, "Recently, the production at the vehicle factory in the city has increased rapidly, causing some chaos in the supply chain. Go and provide support."

Pan Dachuan suddenly raised his head, looking at Li Ye excitedly, and subconsciously wanted to say, "Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you've still worked hard."

After all, Pan Dachuan was brought to the First Branch Factory by Li Ye from the Supply and Marketing Department of the main factory. From the establishment of the factory to today, Pan Dachuan's hard work has contributed to the glory of the First Branch Factory.

But when Pan Dachuan met Li Ye's eyes, he instantly lost his courage.

Li Ye's cold gaze seemed to pierce through Pan Dachuan's surface and see into his heart.

Pan Dachuan asked with difficulty, "How long will I be gone?"

Li Ye said expressionlessly, "The level of supply chain integration is one of the foundations of a company's development. Faced with this kind of problem, do you think I can give you a specific deadline?"

Pan Dachuan closed his eyes in pain.

This is exile to Lingnan!

Although after the Zhucheng Vehicle Factory was merged into the First Branch Factory, the First Branch Factory sent many technical personnel and management backbones to support them, but they were all promoted and given raises after being rotated, which was not the same as my being exiled with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, factory manager. I'll hand over the reins to Xiao Wu and report to the city office as soon as possible."

Pan Dachuan agreed to Li Ye's request and walked out of Li Ye's office in a daze. He ignored the greetings from his colleagues on the way until a woman reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Yue Lingshan grabbed Pan Dachuan and scolded him reproachfully, "Pan Dachuan, Section Chief Pan, I've called you eight times, are you deaf?"

Pan Dachuan saw Yue Lingshan and immediately came to his senses: "Why are you here?"

Yue Lingshan said with amusement, "What? How did I get here? Is this your place? Can't I come?"

Pan Dachuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.

Yue Lingshan was his old colleague. Back then, they both worked in the supply and marketing department of the main factory. However, Yue Lingshan was a key person being groomed, while Pan Dachuan was just a miserable workhorse.

It was only later that Pan Dachuan seized the opportunity to follow Li Ye and became one of the earliest "loyal ministers who followed the dragon," which led him to rise from a clerk to his current position as a section chief, while Yue Lingshan is currently only a deputy section chief.

I haven't even left yet! And this woman already came running because she smelled me?
Indeed, Yue Lingshan is known as a gossip, she's very well-informed!
Perhaps she foresaw something after those steel plates were sent out.

"You go ahead with your work, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Pan Dachuan shook off Yue Lingshan, quickened his pace back to his office, and picked up the phone to call his wife. "Hey, Lingshan, where did you put my ten thousand yuan?"

"Is that the ten thousand yuan?"

"Yes, it's that ten thousand yuan."

"I put it under the little box at the very back of the bed. Didn't you say that money shouldn't be touched right now? Why are you suddenly asking about this again?"

"We can't stay still now."

Pan Dachuan gave a bitter smile, filled with deep regret.

Before coming to the branch factory, Pan Dachuan had already seen the various "profits" in the supply department, so although Li Ye repeatedly emphasized that it was forbidden to use public office for private gain, Pan Dachuan was ultimately a "knowledgeable" person.

Last year, Li Ye asked him to investigate the changes in the quality of leaf springs. He did take it seriously at first, but Director Sun was really "too enthusiastic," and the quality inspection department also concluded that the leaves were "in compliance with national standards." After much consideration, Pan Dachuan finally accepted Director Sun's kindness.

Who would have thought that just a few days later, they would taste the bitter fruit of their indulgence?

Come to think of it, Pan Dachuan has witnessed Li Ye's generosity and approachability over the past few years, but he has forgotten that the authority of a leader cannot be challenged by his subordinates.

"Da Chuan, I need to tell you something."

Xiaoling on the other end of the phone suddenly said, "I've spent some of that money."

Pan Dachuan's heart tightened: "You spent money? How much did you spend? Where did you spend it?"

Xiaoling stammered, "I'll lend my family three thousand."

Pan Dachuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Three thousand is fine, we can withdraw money from our own savings account to make up the difference."

Xiaoling finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Dachuan, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly touch that money?"

"I want to hand it over to the factory manager."

Pan Dachuan let out a breath, as if he had suddenly felt much lighter.

Xiaoling exclaimed in shock, "What? Dachuan, are you crazy? You're walking right into a trap!"

Pan Dachuan said softly, "So what if I walk into a trap? At most, I'll be expelled! Can they send me to jail? But if I don't pay this money, I'll never be able to turn my life around!"

"."

. . . . . . . .

The next day, Pan Dachuan placed the money on Li Ye's table without saying a word, and waited with his head down for the consequences.

Li Ye was so angry he gritted his teeth and almost threw the money in Pan Dachuan's face.

He finally understood the thoughts of those company leaders from his previous life.

He clearly wanted to kill those bastards under his command, but in the end he had no choice but to "handle it internally." What kind of mess is this?

Pan Dachuan is only in his thirties this year. If the branch factory develops smoothly, his annual salary will be over seven figures in the future.

But now, a little over ten thousand yuan is enough to bribe this guy. Is a future high-ranking executive of a group so worthless?

How difficult it is to cultivate a capable manager like Pan Dachuan!

Li Ye asked resentfully, "Did the quality control department people also take money?"

Pan Dachuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there has been an invitation to a meal."

Li Ye pondered for a moment, then tossed the money to Pan Dachuan: "Give it to Director Lu yourself, then get out of here and wait for your turn!"

Whether to execute him immediately or settle scores later, let Lu Zhizhang worry about that! I'll deal with those scoundrels who are hoping to get away with it first.
