Chapter 1459 Don’t know what is good and what is bad

"Don't worry, Mr. Igor, I will definitely get your technical project approved, and I will also try my best to ensure your family's situation is satisfactory."

Li Ye had to say a lot of nice things to Igor before he finally managed to coax the enraged guy away.

After he left, Li Ye pulled Wu Yan aside and questioned him carefully.

"Why didn't you report this troublesome person in the team to me sooner? Didn't you know it would affect everyone's morale?"

Wu Yan said in a deep voice, "I actually communicated with the Hong Kong investors, wanting to send Igor back, but they are a very united small group. As soon as I raised the idea, I was met with their collective protest, and it seems they are even considering going to the Lighthouse."
Furthermore, although Igor had many flaws, the others were fine, and their small team had experience in designing automatic transmissions.
Although we don't currently have a need for automatic transmission research and development, I think we might need it in the future.
We don't have this kind of talent in China; we don't even know what an automatic transmission is. So, such people are extremely rare.

Li Ye asked in surprise, "Igor and his team can design automatic transmissions?"

Wu Yan asked curiously, "That's right! According to the information provided to us by the Hong Kong investors, this small group of them wasn't originally from KamAZ; they were engineers at Moskva. Didn't you know?"

Li Ye replied matter-of-factly, "How would I know? I had someone buy it in bulk."

"."

Wu Yan found Li Ye's words somewhat absurd. Such a rare and highly sought-after senior engineer was being bought off like a pig in a bag. No wonder the other party was arguing with Li Ye about freedom and human rights!

But what Li Ye said next left Wu Yan speechless.

"Let's not put off the development of automatic transmissions for now. We should start the research and development now. According to reliable sources, new cars in Shanghai will soon be equipped with automatic transmissions."

"Also, prepare a house for Igor, and I will bring his wife over to live with him as soon as possible."

"."

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why? You saw it just now, Igor will fight desperately against this arrangement."

Li Ye smirked and said with a hint of wickedness, "I'm making an example of them. Aren't they a small group? Let those who are still decent see that if they pick up bad habits like Igor, they'll get the tender care of their first wives."
Later, you can subtly remind them that if they don't work hard and cause trouble again, Igor will be their fate. Don't let them be so ungrateful and ungrateful.

Wu Yan looked at the smiling Li Ye and couldn't help but shudder.

Li Ye had always been very kind to them, the technical staff, but no one expected him to have such a "cruel" side.

. . . . . . . . . . .

After Li Ye and Dong Shan returned from the light vehicle company, Dong Shan quickly wrote a report to submit to his superiors.

The report is not complicated; it simply states that the light vehicle company has the ability and willingness to assume certain social responsibilities and take in some laid-off workers.

The report was originally supposed to be signed by Li Ye, but Li Ye gave it to Dong Shan as a favor.

The day after Dong Shan finished writing the report, the higher authorities issued a directive instructing all units to carry forward the spirit of social responsibility and do their best to absorb the laid-off workers who were unemployed in the factory.

Then Dong Shan's report came in handy; as long as it was submitted, it was sure to receive high praise from above.

However, the report was stalled by Shang Bin before it could be submitted.

Dong Shan went to inquire about the reason, but the other party only said that some parts were written illogically and asked Dong Shan to revise them again. However, Dong Shan revised it twice in a row, but it was still not acceptable. As for the specific parts that were written incorrectly, Shang Bin could not explain them clearly.

Dong Shan approached Li Ye: "President Li, could you help me take a look at this report and see if there's anything wrong with it? Secretary Shang has already sent it back to me twice."

Li Ye didn't even look at it, but smiled and said, "Director Dong, you're older than me and have more experience in government work. Do you really need me to help you fill in the gaps in your knowledge?"

Dong Shan smiled and said, "I was careless this time. I really didn't expect Secretary Shang to be interested in this report. But now that I'm asked to put his name first, I really can't do it."

"Then let's discuss it in the meeting! We're having a meeting this afternoon to discuss the office building tender. Mention it while you're at it, and let's see what he's really up to." "Okay, I understand."

Dong Shan took the report and went out.

In fact, Dong Shan must have already understood that Shang Bin wanted to give him a warning and make him understand the principle that "a snake cannot function without a head".

How could you, Dong Shan, write a report to curry favor with your superiors without mentioning my name, Shang Bin? The entire Jingnan Group is under my leadership, yet I have no credit for this matter?
Are you, Dong Shan, planning a rebellion?
But Shang Bin's name definitely can't be added to this signature; Li Ye doesn't tolerate his bad habits.

So having Dong Shan bring this up at the meeting was to tell Shang Bin that he was on our side and that he should stop daydreaming.

. . . . . . .

Someone once said that if you don't know whether you've won the bid for a project before the bidding process begins, then you haven't won.

So during the afternoon meeting, Li Ye encountered all sorts of outrageous suggestions and rules. If Li Ye hadn't prepared Lao Kang Shifu as a backup plan, he would have been easily fooled by these people.

"Deputy General Manager Li, regarding the selection of a third-party supervision unit, shouldn't we also adhere to the principle of fair bidding and conduct a bidding process as well?"

"Well, if you think it's right, then it's right! If it really doesn't work, I'll hire an engineering consultant out of my own pocket. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm handling all the loan matters, and if there are any problems, they'll come after me for the money."

"."

Jin Hong and the others stared at Li Ye, wide-eyed.

What do you mean? Are you implying that if we don't use the supervision unit you recommended, we'll cause trouble with the loan?

Faced with absolute power, any schemes and tricks are futile. That's a loan of tens of millions. If Li Ye doesn't take responsibility, who will?

So after much discussion, the third-party supervision unit still ended up in Li Ye's hands.

Then, Dong Shan presented his report.

"In response to the directives from higher authorities, we conducted research at the Light Vehicle Company and determined that we could accept some employees from our sister company."

"Therefore, we have summarized a few points to note. First, in principle, the age of those we accept should be no less than 35 years old, which can alleviate the difficulties of having elderly parents and young children to support."

"."

Dong Shan summarized several points, and after finishing, he smiled and said, "These are just some of my humble opinions. I hope the leaders will correct me so that I can submit them to higher authorities."

Shang Bin smiled and immediately wanted to give Dong Shan some pointers, but Li Ye spoke first.

"Secretary Shang, how many laid-off workers can Southwest Heavy Truck take in?"

"Southwest Heavy Truck is too far from Beijing. Even if they wanted to take it in, no one would go, right?"

"Let's not consider that for now; that's something the higher-ups need to think about. Just give us a number first."

"."

Shang Bin was stunned.

Because Li Ye's meaning was very clear: if Southwest Heavy Truck cannot accept laid-off workers, then what right do you have to take charge of this work?
But Southwest Heavy Truck itself is facing a large number of layoffs, so how can it help others?
