That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 622 I have a friend

"Director Ma, we country folk don't speak so many nice words. I'll drink this cup, please feel free to do as you please.
From now on, my Xiao Rui will work under you, you must be strict with him, and if he doesn’t work well, just beat him up.”

After three rounds of drinks, Li Ye realized that Uncle Bao from the north had come all the way to attend Wen Guohua's wedding and had unexpectedly found a formal job for his youngest son.

Wen Qingsheng was a nostalgic person. When he saw Uncle Bao's youngest son, Bao Xiaorui, still digging for food in the soil in his hometown, he asked if he would like to work as a worker in COFCO.

Bao Xiaorui had come to the capital city from the bitter cold of the north and had already been dazzled by the sight. How could he be unwilling?

So I made a preliminary decision that after joining the company, I would work as a transport driver under Director Ma.

A few decades later, it would be difficult to find a partner if you were a dirty and tiring transport driver, but if you are arranged to be a driver now, you should thank them very much.

Uncle Bao drank two taels of wine in one gulp, then glared at his son and said disdainfully: "Why are you still sitting there? Why don't you pour a glass of wine for Director Ma? You should learn to be smarter when following Director Ma in the future."

Bao Xiaorui, who had not spoken since the beginning of the meal, lowered his head and poured wine for Director Ma. He said something in a mosquito-like voice, and no one at the table could hear it clearly.

Uncle Bao was about to glare again, but Director Ma quickly said, "Uncle Bao, don't be impatient! I think Xiao Rui is a very smart kid.

Besides, didn’t he drive a tractor before? I guarantee that there will be no problem with him coming to me. First, spend three months to get a driver’s license, and then I will arrange an Isuzu for you to drive.”

There was a reason why Wen Qingsheng sent Director Ma to accompany the guests. He was very humble and open-minded when chatting, just like a working man.

When the shy Bao Xiaorui heard that he was about to get his driver's license and drive a car, he was a little excited. He blushed and asked in a low voice, "What kind of car is an Isuzu?"

Director Ma smiled and said, "Isuzu is a small truck that came from Japan. It is the kind that can accommodate people in the front two rows and has a cargo box in the back for transporting goods."

"Oh, I see," Bao Xiaorui nodded repeatedly and said, "I've seen 130 in my hometown, and it also has buckets in the front two rows and the back."

"Hahahaha, that's different. The Isuzu and 130 look similar, but they drive very differently. Even a truck like this is much better than the sedans in Shanghai!"

"Is it better than a sleeper car?"

Bao Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, then he smiled naively, his smile was a little confused, but more of surprise.

Wow, it’s better than the county magistrate’s car~
Director Ma was not exaggerating. It was an Isuzu light truck from the 1980s with air conditioning and heating. It could reach over 100 km/h just by stepping on the accelerator. It was indeed much better than the sedans in Shanghai. But the price was also much more expensive.

However, Director Ma's laughter made Old Bao and Li Zhongfa at the scene fall into silence.

Li Zhongfa certainly knew that Xiao Rizi's products were good, and he also admitted that the other party's products were good. After all, more than 40 years ago, he also liked to use the Type 38 rifle and did not like to use the old sleeve.

But faced with this situation, he always found it difficult to laugh.

"Ah~"

Director Ma sighed and said with some emotion: "To be honest, when I first started working, I drove a 130. At that time, driving a 130 was more comfortable than driving a Jiefang, so I have a lot of feelings for the 130.

But the year before last, we imported a batch of Isuzu, and experienced drivers were vying to drive them, disliking the 130, so I have to admit that we have lagged behind others for many years. "

"."

Li Zhongfa nodded slowly and said, "We should admit that we are behind, but we will not lag behind forever. When our factory first started producing instant noodles, we also competed with Xiao Rizi's instant noodles.

At the beginning, our Qingshuihe brand could only be sold domestically, as foreigners did not believe we could do well. But now, two years have passed, and we are exporting to Hong Kong Island, Japan, and Southeast Asia. No one has said that it is not good. "

In fact, what Li Zhongfa said was somewhat boastful. Qingshuihe brand instant noodles have indeed begun to be exported, but it has not yet reached the level where everyone applauds.

However, after listening to this, Director Ma gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Li, your instant noodles are really good. Two years ago, I liked the braised beef noodles. This year, you also launched mushroom chicken noodle soup. The taste is really amazing."

Li Zhongfa said modestly: "We are also learning and developing at the same time. The more we develop, the more we feel that we cannot stop.
Just like the Beijing 130 you just mentioned, it has remained the same for years, and it only started to improve last year or the year before last, and I don’t know if it can catch up.”

Director Ma nodded and smiled, "It is indeed developing too slowly. Last year, the country spent three million US dollars to introduce Isuzu's production technology and put it into the Second Automobile Factory in Beijing.
Beijing No.2 Automobile was short of funds, so it applied for a joint venture this year. Then, COFCO and Hong Kong Island Seris Company invested in the company and established a light vehicle company with Beijing No.2 Automobile, preparing to build better cars.

Don't worry, Uncle Li, we won't lag behind forever. We must surpass our predecessors."

"Hong Kong Island Seris Company?"

Li Zhongfa looked at Li Ye in confusion.

Li Ye smiled knowingly and said, "Grandpa, you guessed it right. It was Pei Wencong. Oh no, it was Pei Wencong and I who invested together."

In history, Beijing Second Automobile Works did submit a project proposal in October 1985, preparing to raise funds through a joint venture with CITIC Investment Company and Hong Kong Shortage Co., Ltd. to accelerate the absorption of imported Isuzu automobile production technology.

However, due to the role of Li Ye, the butterfly, this joint venture project has undergone a slight change.

At this time, mainland enterprises were very enthusiastic about introducing foreign investment. After Pei Wencong invested in Changbei Machinery Factory, he had a special investment team looking for suitable investment enterprises in the mainland.

So when the Jingcheng 130 manufacturer, which has a "star effect" in the mainland light truck market, came to us, the two sides hit it off.
The joining of COFCO was the result of Wen Qingsheng’s promotion. So the current status of this project is that Hong Kong Island Seris replaced Hong Kong Island Shortage, and COFCO replaced CITIC. Although the nature of the investment subject has not changed much, the shareholding ratio has changed, and the historical trend has also changed.

In the original historical trajectory, Beijing Light Automobile Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture, had a registered capital of 2 million yuan, with Beijing Second Automobile Co., Ltd. holding 70%, CITIC Investment Co., Ltd. holding 5%, and Shortage Co., Ltd. holding 25%. The joint venture period was 15 years.

Now, because of Li Ye, the registered capital has increased by 51%. Beijing Second Automobile Works holds 25% of the shares, COFCO holds 24% of the shares, and Hong Kong Island Seris holds 20% of the shares. The joint venture period is years.

Li Ye wanted to get the controlling rights, but unfortunately the parent company of Beijing No.2 Automobile was also quite powerful. He could not violate the principle, but he could not violate the principle.
The big boss of Beijing Erqi’s mother’s family is at today’s banquet!
In the forty years since the reform and opening up, there are a few industries in which mainland private enterprises have been most successful, among which electronics and automobiles are two of the more prominent ones. How could Li Ye not try his hand in this?
Due to the restrictions of the national "Automotive Industry Policy", the entry threshold of the mainland automotive industry is much higher than that of the electronics industry.

In just a year, Li Ye's Pengcheng Fengyu was about to go into production, and the joint venture with Factory 506 was also beginning to take shape.

However, in the automotive industry, Li Ye has only encountered this one opportunity to enter the market.

Whether it is Boss Wang of Pengcheng Dizi or Wang Jili of Zhejiang Province, many years later, they are in a similar situation to Li Ye now. They do not have a production license of their own. Li Ye has already gone ahead of them.

Don't say that Li Ye is stealing from the country. In history, Beijing Second Automobile Works eventually went bankrupt. Part of its assets were eventually merged into Beijing Hyundai, and the other part was acquired by real estate developers.
Li Ye wanted to see if he could find his own way under his influence. Does electronics + cars equal new energy? Musk's Tesla can't always be praised by others, right?

"By the way, Mr. Li Ye, I heard that you are not only a top student in economics at Peking University, but also a writer, Seven-inch Blade, right?"

Li Ye was thinking about his "car dream"! Director Ma suddenly asked him a question with a smile.

Li Ye nodded and smiled: "I just like writing stories. I can't be considered a writer."

"Yeah, you are too modest," Director Ma said with an exaggerated expression, "If you are not a writer, then what are those writers who write a few pieces of tofu in the newspaper and have eyes on their foreheads?"

Li Ye: "."

[Brother, have you been bullied by some cultural hooligan? Why are you so prejudiced against writers? ]

Director Ma smiled, then asked Li Ye seriously: "Student Li Ye, I have a financial question to ask you. I have a friend who works at Beijing Second Automobile Works.

He is now very hesitant, whether to join the joint venture light vehicle company or stay in the old factory, because the new factory will be moved to Shunyi, what if the new factory does not develop well. "

Li Ye looked at Director Ma who was asking him questions seriously, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

[Your friend is you, right? ]

After the establishment of Beijing Light Automobile Company, COFCO will definitely send someone there, possibly as a deputy general manager, but his rank is unlikely to be promoted. After all, the superior unit of Beijing Second Automobile is only a full-level department-level unit.

Therefore, if Shunyi doesn’t develop well in the future and COFCO withdraws its investment and returns in disgrace, there will be no hope in this life.

Before Li Ye could figure out how to answer, his grandfather Li Zhongfa spoke out of curiosity.

"Shunyi? Where is Shunyi?"

"Oh, Uncle Li, you don't know? Shunyi is in the mountains in the north! It takes half a day to get back to Beijing by bus."

"That means we are out of the capital, right? Oh, we have to think about it carefully, what if the development is not good."

"Yes, yes, you can't go."

"."

People at the table were talking about it. Li Zhongfa was ambiguous. Li Yue and Yang Yumin had no right to say anything. But Old Bao Shu felt that he had to stay in the capital and was determined not to go to the mountain valley to start a new business.
But Li Ye suddenly said: "He should go to the new factory. There is no future for him to stay in the Second Automobile Factory."

Director Ma looked at Li Ye with burning eyes and continued to ask: "What is the future of Shunyi's light vehicle company? My friend and I are both rough people. We don't understand economics and can't see through the future!"

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. If the new joint venture can work together, the future will be very bright. If the three parties argue with each other, it will be a mess."

"Student Li Ye is right. We hit it off very well when we first met. Come, let's have a drink."

Director Ma and Li Ye had a drink together, and then they got along better and better as they talked.

The fact that the Seven-Inch Blade was related to Pei Wencong from Hong Kong Island was no longer a big secret in Peking University.

The future development of the newly-established Beijing Light Vehicle Company is a crucial issue for Pei Wencong.

Because the reason why Beijing Automobile Factory No. 51 chose the joint venture was that they were short of money. Their % stake was mainly due to land, equipment, and labor.
Judging from the nature of mainland enterprises, the first party among the three to come up with real money will definitely be Hong Kong capital.

If the Hong Kong investment is not transparent, then does this joint venture still have a future? Don't try to do it for two or three years and then fail again!

In addition, after solving the funding problem, when Director Ma’s friend arrives at the light vehicle company, he will have to have a good talk about who he should work with, right?
