That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1502 He still wants to annex you!
"Brother, we took Xiaobao and Xiaodou shopping. We'll be staying at Auntie's tonight."

"That's right, we're not coming back tomorrow either."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

The three younger sisters were scolded by their grandmother for half an hour, and then left together in a huff. Before leaving, they gave Li Ye a resentful look, as if they were resenting their eldest brother, who usually protected his sisters, for not saying a good word for them today.

But how could Li Ye dare to say anything good about such a matter? He was afraid that if he said another word, his grandmother would scold him as well.

You have a wife and kids, but your three younger sisters are still single!

So after his sister and grandmother left, Li Ye quickly called his wife, who was away on a business trip.

"Xiaoyu! Meiwen's boyfriend came over today. He seemed nice, but Grandma wasn't happy with me at all. She even scolded Xiaoruo and Xiaojuan in front of me. I feel like we're about to be caught in the middle."

Wen Leyu asked curiously, "What does this have to do with the two of us? I haven't bothered with Xiaoruo and the others these past two years, but feelings can't be forced."

Li Ye said helplessly, "I know I can't force it, but when I was disciplining Xiao Ru and the others today, they used us as an example, saying that our happiness is the result of free love."

"Hehehe, they do have good taste."

Wen Leyu smiled smugly.

When she first met Li Ye, they were truly "not a good match." After Wen Leyu returned to Beijing, there were quite a few "well-meaning" people who advised her to break up with Li Ye. But Wen Leyu was determined to be with Li Ye, which led to her current success in both love and career.

Li Ye and Wen Leyu are a perfect match; for example, Wen Leyu's recent business trip was to handle port-related matters.
It can be said that no matter who is missing, this legacy that benefits three generations would never fall into the hands of either Wen Leyu or Li Ye.

However, the prospect of such a perfect marriage for Fu Yiruo, Li Juan, and Li Ying has also raised the expectations of the three girls, making it hard to say whether it's good or bad.

"Alright, Li Ye, don't worry. I'll think of a way when I get back and get some help from my classmates and friends. Do you think I can't solve the life-long problems of these girls?"

"Yes, yes, things at home will depend on you, Xiaoyu."

"Don't just say nice things; if any of your classmates know anyone suitable, you should also try to set them up."

"Okay, okay, we're just destined to worry."

It must be said that Wen Leyu, as the "elder sister-in-law," has done a very good job. Faced with one of the most troublesome things in the world, she has done her best to handle it.

. . . . . . . . .

The next day, after Li Ye arrived at the company, Ma Zhaoxian called him into his office.

"Yesterday, Dong Shan and I hosted Director Tan from Weixian. He mentioned you several times during the banquet, and he also wanted to visit the No. 1 factory. So, will you take him to visit the No. 1 factory today? Or should we arrange for Dong Shan to go?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Does he want to visit the first factory? Then I'll go with him!"

The First Branch Factory is the core unit of the Light Vehicle Company. Most of the people who come to visit the Light Vehicle Company are there specifically for the First Branch Factory, so Li Ye had already anticipated that Director Tan would visit it.

However, Ma Zhaoxian added, "There's one more thing. Director Tan's visit this time wasn't just about selling us engines; he also expressed interest in technical cooperation. So please keep that in mind during your visit."

"Another technology collaboration?"

Li Ye couldn't help but frown.

After several years of development, the strength of the No. 1 Factory can no longer be hidden, which has led many people to regard it as a ginseng fruit and want to swallow one or two to prolong their lives and live forever.

The merger of Southwest Heavy Truck and Light Truck Company was for this purpose, and Director Tan of Weixian also raised the banner of "technical cooperation". What were his intentions?
At 8:30, Li Ye met Director Tan at the entrance of the first factory.

He looked very young and was very kind. When Li Ye shook hands with him, he could feel the calluses on the other man's hands. [Every prominent figure of their era has a hardworking and down-to-earth side.]

"General Manager Li, I've heard so much about you. It's great to finally have the chance to meet you."

"I don't have any 'famous name' at all! Director Tan, you flatter me, you flatter me."

"No, no, no, that's too kind."

Factory Director Tan said earnestly, "Last year, I visited the Zhucheng Vehicle Factory and Laidong Diesel Engine Plant, and I was truly amazed by their changes. Their managers all said it was thanks to you, General Manager Li."

"They're all just flattering me! Besides, I'm just the deputy general manager, not the general manager, hehehe~"

Only then did Li Ye realize that Director Tan had visited Laidong Diesel Engine and Zhucheng Vehicle Factory, and he roughly guessed his intention to seek "technical cooperation".

Just a few years ago, Laidong Diesel Engine and the Zhucheng Vehicle Factory were nothing compared to Director Tan.
However, in just a few years, the two companies have developed to the point that most mainland car manufacturers dare not underestimate them.

Among them, the Zhucheng Vehicle Factory has changed the fastest. In just two years, it has grown from producing more than a thousand agricultural four-wheelers a year to producing 30,000 a year, and this number is still expanding rapidly.

The light-duty diesel engines produced by Laidong Diesel Engine have become the first choice for light trucks in mainland China, with an annual output of more than 100,000 units, providing a solid production foundation for Kamaz Diesel Engine.

Laidong Diesel Engine and Weixian Diesel Engine are not far apart, so did Director Tan feel a sense of urgency and risk being reprimanded by the headquarters of Jicheng Heavy Truck to come and talk to Li Ye alone?
Having worked with Li Ye for many years, Lu Zhizhang immediately guessed Li Ye's intentions and quickly interrupted with a smile, "Director Tan has come from afar, so let's not just stand at the factory gate. Let's go inside, tour the factory, and chat at the same time."

"Yes, yes, Director Wang, who is stationed in the city, highly praises the management model of the First Branch Factory. We are fortunate to have this opportunity today, as we have heard so much about it before.

Factory Director Tan followed Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye into the No. 1 factory, where they toured several departments and offices in detail, leaving no detail overlooked.

When they arrived at the R&D workshop, Factory Director Tan asked in surprise, "Huh? I heard from Factory Director Wang that the First Branch Factory has a technical team of over five hundred people. Why are they on rotation today?"

Wang Jinyu, you tell everyone everything!

Li Ye cursed inwardly, then said calmly to Factory Director Tan, "We've built a new factory in Xishan, and some of our technicians have gone there to debug the equipment, so this is the number of people left here for the time being."

Factory Director Tan nodded in realization, then said, "Yes! The land here is really limited, which is indeed detrimental to your future expansion and development."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Director Tan, do you also think we should continue to expand and develop?"

Factory Director Tan said earnestly, "Of course, many manufacturers in China don't pay enough attention to technology now, thinking that it's a waste to maintain a technical team of several hundred people. But I think even a technical team of several thousand people is not a waste."

"."

Looking at the sincere expression on Director Tan's face, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The number of technicians in the first factory had already exceeded a thousand, but Li Ye still tried to "conceal the number" in every possible way, just in case some laymen would say that it was "too wasteful".

In their eyes, it seems that finding three or five people, giving them some guidance, and putting pressure on them is enough to overcome all technical difficulties.

However, with the increasing complexity of car construction today, the era of a few people manually assembling a car by hand with hammers is long gone.

Although many people had been evacuated from the R&D workshop of the first factory, Director Tan and others still observed it very carefully.

Ma Zhaoxian pulled Li Ye aside and asked, "They wouldn't be planning to merge into our unit like Wang Jinyu, would they?"

"Ha~"

Li Ye chuckled and said, "You want to annex him? He wants to annex you too!"
