That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1671 My Sister's Dowry

Li Ye spent more than a month in the Southwest, working with Lu Zhizhang to go through all the difficulties and challenges in production, and finally managed to get the Southwest branch back to production before October 1st.

When the first heavy truck bearing the Beijing brand logo rolled off the production line, adorned with red ribbons and decorations, Li Ye personally lit firecrackers, a symbol of good fortune, to celebrate the rebirth of Southwest Heavy Truck, a long-established enterprise.

The drummers from Southwest Heavy Truck were very energetic, making the scene very lively, but there were relatively few people from the local area who came to congratulate them, and many people sent their secretaries or deputies to attend.

In mainland China, such a situation is considered "very disrespectful," which led to some dissatisfaction among the "younger generation" led by Chen Siyu, who began to grumble and complain.

"They were the ones who begged us to save their lives in the first place, and now that they're alive, they're the ones who turn a blind eye to it. Even if they're heartless, they shouldn't be doing this so quickly, right?"

"Forget it, only mediocre people aren't envied. The more people disrespect us, the more outstanding we are."

"Yeah, I think so too. The more capable we are, the more incompetent others seem, and the more they get angry and embarrassed. But we can't just ruin this company, can we? That wouldn't benefit anyone!"

"Maybe they just want a lifeless, half-dead outcome!"

"."

Come to think of it, just a few months ago, Southwest Heavy Truck was universally disliked, like a company favoring a sick person—nobody wanted to get involved.

Because once you get involved, manpower and money will flow in like water, and in the end, you might not even get the satisfaction you deserve.

In just two months, Southwest Heavy Truck, which was almost dead, was saved by Jingnan Group, and production orders are already booked until next year. Isn't that infuriating?
How come you guys are so capable? Do you think you're so great?

Li Ye, who had already booked a flight back to Beijing, was also somewhat worried by this "disrespectful" situation.

Seeing this situation, Li Ye was also somewhat worried, so he found Lu Zhizhang and carefully instructed him: "Old Lu, I'm going back to the capital soon. From now on, you'll be supporting so many people in the southwest on your own. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me in time. Don't try to tough it out on your own."

Lu Zhizhang, however, said optimistically, "Then I will definitely report it in time! But Li Ye, you also need to have faith in me. People from our branch factory like to let their abilities speak for themselves."

As long as the factory is thriving, what difference does it make whether others give us face or not? I'd rather they ignore us!

Li Ye laughed and said, "Okay, it's good that you've come to your senses, Lao Lu. You have to believe me. Don't underestimate the Southwest Branch just because it only has a few people now. It will grow and have unlimited potential in the future."

Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but lick his lips: "Unlimited potential? Hahahaha, I believe in you, Li Ye, I've always believed in you."

Actually, when Lu Zhizhang first teamed up with Li Ye, he didn't trust Li Ye as much as he does today, but now he truly does.

Moreover, only someone like Li Ye would describe a company with tens of thousands of employees, such as the Southwest Branch, as having only this many people.

. . . . . . . . . .

Li Ye fell asleep as soon as he boarded the plane home. He hadn't had a full night's sleep in over a month. Now that he was suddenly relaxed, he realized that even his transmigrated physique had its limits.

Li Ye is not a workaholic, but these days he's been like a sponge, constantly learning and absorbing knowledge.

The acquisition of Southwest Heavy Truck was not simply about helping more than 10,000 employees keep their jobs. The development path of a large enterprise is a process of continuous acquisition, merger, and consolidation, and the various problems encountered along the way are valuable experiences.

Just like a dungeon game, if you've never actually played it but have only read various guides, you'll never truly understand the dungeon.

After getting off the plane and into the car, Li Ye slept for a while longer, until he was woken up by the company driver when he arrived at his doorstep.

Li Ye rubbed his face, picked up his luggage, and walked into the house. As soon as he entered, he heard a very familiar piece of music—the opening theme song of the anime Saint Seiya, "Pegasus Fantasy."

Without a doubt, it must be my precious son and daughter watching TV.

Li Ye tiptoed into the living room and found the two children engrossed in the TV, completely unaware that their father had entered.

However, the youngest Border Collie in the house saw Li Ye, wagged its head and came over to greet him affectionately, and then barked twice at the two children.

Only then did the two children notice Li Ye.

The obedient son immediately stood up in fright, looking at Li Ye with a half-crying, half-laughing expression, at a loss for what to do. The daughter, however, was slightly taken aback, then buried her head in Li Ye's arms and started wailing.

"Dad, when did you get back? My brother and I missed you so much! Waaah, why did it take you so long to come back? I even dreamt the other day that you brought me back a monkey, but when I woke up I realized it was just a dream."

"."

It has to be said that girls are more easily agitated. Xiao Dou buried her face in Li Ye's arms and started sobbing. As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, making Li Ye feel a pang of heartache.

"Oh, little one, you miss your dad? Daddy dreamt about you too! But I can't bring you the monkey. The monkeys in the southwest are either bandits or protected animals."

"Oh, oh, oh, my second aunt has promised to get me two golden monkeys. Dad, all I need is for you to come back."

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless about Fu Yiruo's younger sister.

Why would a young woman not find a man to have children of her own, but instead dote on her two nephews and nieces to an extreme degree?
Seeing Li Ye whispering to his sister, Xiao Bao felt a little awkward standing there, so he carefully went to turn off the TV.

Seeing his son acting suspiciously, Li Ye said gently, "Why are you turning off the TV? Dad wants to watch this cartoon too!"

Both children were stunned. Xiao Dou'er immediately asked, "Dad, do you also like watching Saint Seiya?"

Li Ye immediately replied, "Of course I know, I also know about the Small Universe and the Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

"Wow, Dad, you're amazing! I thought you were only good at fancy tricks!"

Xiao Dou'er and Xiao Bao'er's eyes lit up immediately, probably even more so than when they saw a real golden monkey.

Li Ye sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, embracing the two children on either side.

"Come, come, let me tell you what an explosive burst of potential is. From a scientific point of view, it's the burst of potential that occurs after adrenaline is released."

Having been reborn, Li Ye harbors resentment towards his previous life as a beast of burden, but also a deep longing for a happy family.
Do you think it's a wonderful thing for a grown man to come home after a busy day and watch an episode of his favorite cartoon with his son and daughter?
So when Wen Leyu came home from get off work, she saw her husband and two children arguing heatedly about who was the strongest Saint Seiya. "Seiya is definitely the strongest! Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

"No, no, no, it's Ikki's Phoenix Wing Soaring that's the most powerful."

"What Dad said is wrong. Athena is clearly the most powerful."

Wen Leyu watched the three "children" arguing without giving in to each other, and could only laugh in exasperation before helplessly going to the kitchen to cook.

After they finished eating, Wen Leyu gently reminded Li Ye, "Li Ye, don't mention these things to the two children in the future, especially Xiao Dou'er; she's showing violent tendencies now."

"Violent tendencies?"

Li Ye paused for a moment, then corrected him, saying, "You mean a chivalrous woman's inclination, right? These two are not the same thing. Besides, you've been training with me in bayonet fighting for several years! Where are you being violent?"

Wen Leyu was speechless for a moment.

It's normal for someone to fantasize about using violence to resolve injustice, but when educating their children, they absolutely refuse to see violence occur and will only advise their children to be "rational and restrained" and "take a step back and the sky will be wider."

Wen Leyu was verbally challenged by Li Ye, and the violent impulses within him immediately came to life. He unleashed a barrage of attacks on Li Ye, who had been a monk for over a month, until he was completely subdued before he stopped.

"No matter what, you need to properly educate the child; you can't always make me the bad guy."

Exhausted from being disciplined, Li Ye dared not argue and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, I will definitely teach them a good lesson."

Li Ye had used this kind of perfunctory excuse many times, and Wen Leyu was not buying it at all. She immediately pressed on, "Then how do you plan to educate them?"

Forced into a corner, Li Ye racked his brains and finally came up with a good idea.

"I'll write a novel with my child! A novel about chivalrous heroes, to instill in them correct values ​​and teach them that force should never be abused."
Then I'll serialize the novel on our "Qidian BBS" so everyone can freely comment on it and let my daughter know the public's views on violence.

Wen Leyu was surprised that Li Ye would have such a whimsical idea. After thinking about it for a moment, she hesitated before asking, "Is this appropriate?"

"Why not? I think it's perfect."

While some people consider violence something shameful, it also has its other side. For example, some say that the "Young and Dangerous" film series has led many young people to misunderstand certain things.
But actually, if it weren't for the "Young and Dangerous" film series, the effeminate culture in mainland China might have exploded ten years earlier!
. . . . . . . . . .

After returning to the capital, Li Ye originally intended to take a break, spend more time with his children, and get some rest.

But despite his good intentions, he was still incredibly busy and couldn't go home to watch cartoons with his children for more than half a month.

However, this kind of busyness is something many people crave.

Jingnan Group has expanded too fast this year, so fast that one good thing after another has made it difficult to write the year-end report.

The successful resumption of production at the Southwest Branch of Jingnan Group has ensured that the output of Jingcheng brand heavy trucks will exceed 10,000 units in the first year of its listing, leaving established heavy truck companies behind and ridiculing them.

The Beijing Hongguang minivan became a "hot seller" in less than a year after it went into production. Although its production volume has not yet reached the top position in China, it has already posed a strong threat to Daihatsu minivans.

It's important to know that Dafa vans have relied on the mainland taxi market to maintain their number one position for many consecutive years. Their total production exceeds the combined output of the other van manufacturers. Now, Beijing Hongguang is second only to Dafa in power.

As for light trucks, light buses, and microvans, which have become "old hats," they have all delivered a report card of steadily increasing production and profits.

Although the third quarter has just ended, the company has already exceeded its annual production plan, and both its output value and profits are destined to reach a new level.

Therefore, if all these good things were written in detail in the year-end report, it would really make the other brother units look too incompetent.

However, just when everyone was feeling smug, Li Ye stepped forward and started pouring cold water on their enthusiasm.

"Although we have done a good job this year, we must not be complacent or careless. There are still more than two months left until the end of the year, and we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."
Our rapid expansion this year is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that everyone benefits, but the bad thing is that it easily accumulates hidden dangers and risks. Therefore, starting now, we will launch a month-long comprehensive production safety inspection.”

Now, Li Ye has also begun to be disliked by some workers. Everyone is doing their jobs well, but he insists on carrying out some "showy but impractical" large-scale inspections.

However, behind any seemingly unreasonable "convention" lies one or more painful lessons.

Li Ye is in charge of production and operations at Jingnan Group. If there are problems with sales, he might just earn less money, but if there are problems with production, he will be held accountable.

What does it mean when extreme joy turns to sorrow?

A rapidly expanding company has countless potential dangers, big and small. If it doesn't keep its workers on edge, does it really mean it can leave everyone's fate to God?

"Ring ring~ Ring ring~"

Li Ye had just finished a meeting with his subordinates when his phone rang. It was his grandmother calling.

Li Ye found it a bit strange, because his grandmother, Wu Juying, was very sensible and would not call him during work hours unless there was something important to say.

"Hello, Grandma, what's up with the call?"

Wu Juying said in a deep voice, "Come home on time today and discuss Xiaojuan's wedding with everyone."

Li Ye asked, somewhat puzzled, "Do I really need to get involved in Xiao Juan's wedding? Isn't it all arranged by you, Grandma?"

"If I arrange everything, what's the point of having you as my older brother? Stop dawdling, do you hear me?"

"Hey, hey, I'm not working overtime today. I promise I'll be home by 5:30."

Li Ye agreed to his grandmother's request, but he was still completely confused.

Because weddings are such complicated events, they are usually handled by women. Even if a man is needed, it is the job of their father, Li Kaijian. What else does the older brother, besides offering his blessings, have to do?
However, when Li Ye got home in the afternoon, he realized that there were some things that really required his presence and approval, because today's discussion was about Li Juan's dowry.
