That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 597 Li Ye is a cheater, not an awesome one
When Li Ye told him to look up Marxism-Leninism, Li Dayong asked in confusion, "How can I find the answer in such a thick book? Brother, can't you just tell me directly?"

Li Ye said with a straight face: "I am also looking for the answer! I can't explain it to you clearly, let's get down to business first, and quickly get me the information."

"It's strange that you don't understand! You are more accurate than those fortune tellers."

Li Dayong walked away mumbling.

The two of them were brothers who shared a cigarette back then, so Li Dayong didn't understand why Li Ye kept it from him.

But in fact, Li Ye really didn’t fully understand it, because the situation in the mainland is too special and cannot be completely explained from an economic perspective.

Let alone Li Ye, even decades later, the Nobel Prize winner in economics who was ridiculed as having almost degenerated into a financial columnist couldn't figure it out.

That big shot publicly posted that he really couldn't understand why flower growers were continuing to invest in expanding production capacity even though they clearly had overproduction, instead of reducing production to maintain world peace and distributing money to stimulate consumption?

The fact that he asked this question only showed that he didn't understand the history of the flower-growing family.

It is difficult for a person to understand something he has not experienced. In history, flower-growing countries have never experienced overproduction. Instead, they have always experienced periodic social crises due to insufficient productivity, leading to changes of dynasties.

So no matter how Westerners instill their ideas, it is difficult for a traditional flower grower to truly understand the concept of overproduction.

And when the flower growers accepted the ideas of the bearded old Ma, this overproduction became even more incomprehensible.

Planned economy + overproduction = the primary stage of communism. Li Ye had heard this logic from his teacher in class in his previous life.
"When the world's resources become extremely abundant, our goal will be achieved soon."

But Li Ye remembered that the teacher said it with a smile, and all the students laughed after hearing it.

After all, even though he is the richest student in the class, he dare not waste a grain of food, dare not complain that fatty meat is not tasty, and even pass on a pen to his younger brothers and sisters when it is worn out.

No one could have imagined that decades later, there would be dozens of flavors of milk tea, and if the taste was not right, people would just drink half a cup and throw away the other half.

Overseas economics circles have summarized their experience and found that even at the peak of the Soviet Union's prosperity, it never had complete overproduction, so they did not follow the above logic.

In short, the beacon country with overproduction had no planned economic guidance, while the Soviet Union, which had planned economic guidance, did not have overproduction.

And decades later, with its planned economy and overproduction, was Todai taking an unprecedented path?

If it works, would you all like to learn it?

So how can you ask Li Ye to explain clearly this is an unprecedented road?

Li Ye is just a cheater, not awesome, okay?
. . . . . . . . .

Li Dayong came over with a document and handed it to Li Ye.

"Brother, this is the technical requirement we compiled based on the information and requirements you provided. We also asked all the domestic machinery factories, and they all said they couldn't produce products with this level of precision. Do we have to use all imported equipment in our textile factory?"

Li Ye flipped through it casually and asked, "Don't worry about this. You just need to make sure that with the processing equipment and conditions I provide you, you can't meet this technical requirement, right?"

"It's definitely not possible," Li Dayong said, "Professor Zhao has checked it for us and said that in order to meet this technical requirement, the production equipment you provided must be upgraded again.
But this kind of product is considered high-end even overseas. If we want to import it, the price will definitely not be low. It’s not cost-effective for us to give money to foreigners!”

"Whether it's cost-effective or not depends on how you play it."

Li Ye smiled and put away the product technical requirements.

Li Dayong looked at Li Ye and said somewhat dejectedly: "Brother, I know there is a gap between our products and overseas products, but can you give us a little more time?
If you trust us, we will tackle the problem ourselves and improve the existing textile equipment to ensure that it meets production requirements."

"."

Li Ye then realized that something was wrong with Li Dayong, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "When did I say I wouldn't use your equipment? Aren't you always working on technical issues? Don't stop, I'll definitely use yours when the time comes."

Since last year, Li Ye has discussed with several of his "shareholders" about investing in the upstream industry of the clothing industry - the textile industry.

Jin Peng and Hao Jian would certainly not object. Although the investment in the textile industry was much larger than that in the garment factory, the profits of Pengcheng Factory No. 7 were constantly flowing in, and there was a large amount of idle money in the account, and the bank was chasing after it "for a loan."

People in the hometown county have also been trying to build relationships with Hao Jian and others, hoping that they can repay their hometown and lead the vast majority of Qingshui people out of poverty and into prosperity.

You said that with all the conditions of time, place and people being in place, it would seem like a betrayal of God's arrangement if we did not develop in a diversified way.

Li Dayong wholeheartedly supported this decision, because Changbei Machinery Company had also started research on textile machinery since last year.

At that time, the brothers agreed that as long as the textile machines in Changbei could be used, they must be kept within the family.

You know, Hao Jian and Jin Peng have no stake in Changbei Machinery Company! This is everyone showing support for little brother Li Dayong!
But a few days ago, Li Ye suddenly asked Li Dayong to propose a product technical standard that was "beyond the capabilities" of the other party based on the production capacity of Nakamura Corporation.

This confused Li Dayong. He thought that Hao Jian and others were trying to "settle accounts with brothers" and that their products were not good enough, so the textile factory wanted to use imported equipment.

But the problem is that domestic textile machinery is indeed lagging behind similar products in Japan and South Korea.

This year, Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui went to Japan for an inspection. He knew very well that the mainland's textile machinery lags far behind that of Japan and South Korea.

So Li Dayong had no choice. He could cheat anyone but not his own brother, right?
I can only hold my breath and work hard to catch up with the world's best.

But Li Dayong had no idea of ​​Li Ye's plan. The information in Li Ye's hand was prepared for Nakamura Corporation. It seemed that he was going to "give money" to them, but in fact, he was going for the purpose of cheating people.

Nakamura Corporation has textile machinery related businesses, but they are unable to complete the production of a complete set of textile machinery by themselves. They can only produce some accessories and then purchase and assemble them from the same industry.

Moreover, Nakamura Corporation has wanted to upgrade its industry since two years ago, but has not been successful due to funding reasons.

Now Li Ye plans to give Nakamura Corporation a large order that it cannot refuse through Hong Kong Island, and then offer it a price that will be extremely painful.

In order to meet the technical requirements proposed by Li Ye, new equipment must be added and a large number of textile accessories must be ordered from peers.

By the time the other party's industry is upgraded, peer orders are placed, and everything is ready, the Japanese yen will have appreciated by more than 30%.

That will be a headache for the other party! Yesterday, one dollar was enough to buy food and drink and make a profit, but today it is not even enough to cover production costs and workers' wages?
Fulfill the contract! You may have to pay money, and let the Hong Kong side make a lot of money by just reselling it.

Failure to fulfill the contract is just like playing stocks. The Japanese yen keeps going up, and the more you hold on, the more you lose. In the end, you either have to cut your losses or stay put.

Given Nakamura Corporation's current financial situation, it is basically unrealistic to cut losses or stay flat, and being taken over by others is the only outcome.

"Brother, are you going to trick that Naoto Nakamura?"

"By the way, brother, have you found Naoto Nakamura?"

After listening to Li Ye's explanation, Li Dayong was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.

Changbei Machinery Company and Naoto Nakamura's Pengcheng Zhongai Machinery Company still have a lawsuit to settle.

Moreover, after Naoto Nakamura disappeared, his father had caused trouble for Li Ye, so Li Dayong did not have a good impression of Naoto Nakamura and had no pressure in cheating him.

"I don't know. Whether he can find it or not is none of our business. Just do your job well."

Li Ye warned, "Dayong! Don't think that you can be careless about the technical requirements just because you have orders from our own factory. If quality problems occur again like last time, we will really have to claim compensation according to the contract. Don't call me brother then."

"."

"I'm sorry, bro. I get it."

Li Dayong lowered his head in shame.

The sewing machines produced by Changbei Machinery Company are already first-class in China, but the first batch of products supplied to Pengcheng No. 7 Factory had quality problems.
And it's not just one or two, but hundreds.

Originally, Hao Jian wanted to just give Li Dayong a reminder and ask him to pay attention, but Li Ye insisted and asked Pengcheng Factory No. 7 to question Changbei Machinery Company in the name of the unit.

Li Dayong quickly investigated and the final result was a common problem in state-owned enterprises.

It was the habit of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s to make do with patchwork and make do with whatever they wanted, and as long as it worked, there was no problem with the quality.

Moreover, due to Wang Qinshan's military management, the discipline and atmosphere of the Changbei Machinery Factory were relatively good. At least the workers in the factory did not dare to move things outside after get off work.

If it were any other factory, Changbei sewing machines would be so popular that you could build two at home after a few months of tinkering.

Can Li Ye tolerate this?
How can a capitalist factory have the problems of state-owned enterprises?
That is why Changbei Machinery Company underwent a strict rectification campaign. In the end, even a few lazy people and troublemakers were fired, which led to a change in the situation.

However, Li Dayong felt that he had lost face in front of his brothers and felt ashamed whenever this matter was mentioned.

"Okay, Dayong, you are lucky and lucky to have experienced this. I don't know how many bad things like this Hao Jian and Jin Peng have experienced!"

Li Ye patted Li Dayong on the shoulder and tried to comfort his ashamed brother.

"You are the only one among us who is involved in machinery. You have a long way to go. But believe me, no effort is wasted. If you can make durable textile machinery, it will be in short supply."

Textile machinery is more difficult than sewing machinery.
The steel requirements for manufacturing knitting needles alone are enough to give mainland steel mills a hard time. It must have good ductility and toughness, as well as the necessary hardness, rigidity and elasticity.

As for the torque motors and stepper motors needed for textile machinery, special textile motors with high starting torque, high working time rate and ability to withstand harsh environments, DC motors and frequency conversion motors with good speed regulation performance, etc., each one is a difficult hurdle that needs to be overcome.

Fortunately, at least these industries are available in the mainland.

As long as you put forward the requirement to tackle the problem and offer sufficient salary compensation, there will definitely be relevant researchers to "take up the challenge".

With so many research institutes across the country, there are always a few idle people who are having a hard time.

Moreover, the market demand for textile machinery is huge. When the mainland textile industry was developing at its most crazy, there was not a single city, let alone a province, that did not have a well-known textile company!

With technical personnel, market demand and financial support, what difficulties can't be overcome?

Therefore, the industrial upgrading in the mainland is not a process where a clever woman cannot cook without rice, but a process where a stupid woman tries hard to become clever.

A stupid woman is not good at anything except that she is strong and kind-hearted. As long as you make sure she is well fed and willing to work hard, you can do whatever you want to her.
