That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1444 Flower growers are all very ambitious
"Mr. Li, please consider my suggestion. Please believe me, this is the best choice for you. Please."

"Okay, I know."

"You really need to think this through carefully, I'm begging you."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely consider it carefully."

"I'm so sorry for being rude today. Please understand how I feel."

Kimura bowed repeatedly to Li Ye, sincerely saying "Please" seven or eight times before turning and walking away.

Looking at Kimura Hachizai's desolate figure, Li Ye could sense his loneliness and disappointment, but Li Ye felt no pity for Kimura Hachizai.

From the moment he started assisting the factory in debugging the production line, this guy had always acted like he had his head on the ground. He only worked a few hours a day, but he was paid dozens of times more than the technicians from the mainland.

After the production line was debugged, Kimura Hachizai had even more free time. He was only responsible for supplying some imported parts and worked only a few days a month, but he received an extremely high salary and lived a life of luxury in the capital.

That's the real life of a "superior person". According to reliable sources, Kimura Hachizai hooked up with a young girl in the capital. She was only in her early twenties, but she was willing to dump her boyfriend and become the mistress of this middle-aged man in his forties.

Although Li Ye knew that this situation was unstoppable and that a "milk village" would soon appear in Pengcheng, he still felt uneasy when he first heard the news.

Even someone as incompetent as Kimura Hakone could easily charm girls with just a few bills from his pocket. This shows that the Chinese concept of "mutual support and companionship," which has been passed down for thousands of years, is collapsing at an alarming rate.

But what can Li Ye do?

There is only one way to slow down this pace—to crush people like Nakamura Hachiya underfoot and turn them all into cattle and horses for the Chinese.

When that time comes, girls all over the world will be willing to become part of China and uphold China's traditions.

As for the fate of people like Nakamura Hachisai, just look at those abandoned milk powder villages and those dying car companies, and you can guess what happened.

When a new king ascends the throne, the once prosperous economy will have to endure the hardship of tightening its belt and downgrading its consumption.

If you want dignity, you have to rely on yourself!

Li Ye picked up the phone and dialed Wu Yan's mobile phone directly.

"Hey, Wu Yan, something's about to happen. You guys need to be prepared to work hard and get things done after the Spring Festival."

Wu Yan calmly replied on the other end of the phone, "No need to wait until after the Spring Festival, I'm working overtime at the factory right now! Just tell me what you need! We're the kind of people who aren't afraid of trouble."

Li Ye paused for a moment, then said softly, "Our lives have been much better these past few years. Actually, we don't necessarily have to work overtime during the Spring Festival."

When the first branch factory was first established, it had no technology and no products. Wu Yan led the technical staff to work day and night, and did not rest during the Spring Festival for several consecutive years, which is why the Beijing brand cars are now selling well all over the country.

But Li Ye also said that people should always balance work and rest. After the difficult days are over, people should enjoy life appropriately. At least during the Spring Festival, people should reunite with their families.

But Wu Yan said in a strange tone, "I don't want to work overtime either! But these guys are obsessed with overtime pay and bonuses."

This morning, they came to work without telling me, just to get the prototypes of the Kamaz and the minibus out of production as soon as possible. I said to Li Ye, "Did you learn your reward and punishment system from capitalists?"

Li Ye chuckled and said, "Hey, don't jump to conclusions about me! Don't you know how powerful public opinion can be?"

The first factory currently has two new research projects: one is the KamAZ heavy-duty truck, and the other is the "miracle car" minibus. If they can be successfully put into production, the technical department will receive a considerable bonus.

If production can start ahead of schedule, the bonus amount will be increased significantly, which is why the technicians at the first factory are working so hard to tackle the new project.

Wu Yan smiled and then said in a deep voice, "Alright, enough of the small talk, tell me what exactly happened."

Li Ye also said seriously, "Today, Kimura Hachiya came to see me, saying that Mitsubishi wanted to support us in producing genuine Mitsubishi engines, but I did not agree."

However, based on my probing, they must have also contacted others. Given their personality, they will definitely cultivate an adversary to suppress us.

"."

Wu Yan remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Having followed Li Ye for so many years, he knew that Li Ye firmly opposed the "buying is worse than making" approach and was determined to pursue a self-developed technology route.
Now, based on Mitsubishi's engine, everyone has just successfully developed their own electronic fuel injection engine and is preparing to supply it to other manufacturers in mainland China. While expanding the supply range, they are also improving the engine performance. As a result, Mitsubishi has set up a factory in mainland China.

If the other party forces the engines of the First Factory to be used only by the factory itself, then Li Ye's iteration plan will inevitably face a huge challenge.

Wu Yan asked in a deep voice, "Then what should we do?" Li Ye calmly replied, "While perfecting the details and defects of the existing engine, we will begin developing the second-generation engine, with technical specifications reaching 80% of Mitsubishi's latest engine."

Eighty percent is already a high standard that Li Ye expects of Wu Yan. After all, this is not decades later, and the foundation is still far behind. It is simply unrealistic to expect Wu Yan to be far ahead at this time.

Wu Yan paused for a moment, then asked, "How much time do we have?"

Li Ye sighed and said, "I don't know either, but I've bought you thirty million US dollars' worth of time."

"Thirty million dollars' worth of time? What does that mean?"

It means exactly what it says.

Li Ye quoted Kimura Hachiya a price of 30 million US dollars, not only to buy the other party's technology, but also to raise the other party's expectations. If Mitsubishi did not choose Li Ye's proposal, it would also make higher demands on other partners.

If Li Ye is willing to pay 30 million to buy out the technology, then how much would others have to pay to obtain Mitsubishi's technology, funding, and other support?
. . . . . . . . . .

Kimura Hachizai returned to his residence with a gloomy expression, and upon entering, he heard broken Japanese.

"Kanishiwa~~Greeknae~~Arigato~~"

Seeing the girl wearing headphones and diligently studying Japanese made Kimura Hachiza feel a little better.

He took off his shoes and walked into the living room, where he sat down on the sofa listlessly.

The girl who was studying Japanese quickly took off her headphones and asked with a smile, "You're back. Are you a little tired? Would you like me to massage your shoulders?"

Kimura Hachizai nodded slowly, then closed his eyes.

Soon, a gentle force came from his shoulder, and he heard the soft breathing of a young woman.

This really is a comfortable country!

When Kimura Hachizai met this girl named "Kamin", he discovered that she clearly had a very distorted understanding of Japanese women.

In Jiamin's eyes, Japanese girls are still like her mother's generation, gentle as sheep. Little does she know that young Japanese women nowadays have long since developed to the point of needing "four boyfriends".

The benefits of information asymmetry are enormous. After Jiamin met Kimura Hachizai, she tried her best to show feminine gentleness. Even when Kimura Hachizai was deliberately rude to her, she carefully asked how a Japanese woman should deal with such rudeness.

Kimura Hachizai, of course, couldn't tell the truth, so he instilled in Jiamin the various ways his mother's generation had to accept their fate.

Jiamin actually did everything she asked.

Therefore, Kimura Hachizai felt that he should live here for the rest of his life, rather than return to Japan, a world where even the dead don't change much.

However, Kimura had only enjoyed his comfort for a few minutes when he heard Jia Min behind him ask, "Kimura, you've been in Beijing for five years now, and the new engine for the first factory has already been successfully developed. When are you going to return to the Japanese headquarters to report for duty?"

Kimura Hachizai was stunned.

It was no secret that the First Plant had developed a new engine, but a woman actually thought that Mitsubishi was no longer useful to the First Plant, so Kimura's eight years of service were also useless and he should return to Japan to report for duty.

Kimura Hachizai suddenly asked, "Jiamin, if headquarters gave me two choices, one is to go to the north, and the other is to return to Japan, which do you think I should choose?"

Jiamin asked in surprise, "Going north? To Su'e?"

Kimura Hachizai shook his head: "No, it's the northern Jilin province in your inland areas."

"It's definitely going back to Japan! That lousy place in Jilin Province is not even as good as our capital!"

"."

Kimura Hachiza was stunned and speechless.

He was certain that Jiamin's gentleness was all an act, and that once she arrived in Japan, she would soon become just like those hateful women who wanted to ride on men's necks and shit on them.

Those who grow flowers are truly ambitious!
