That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 689: Are you short of money? I happen to have money!

"Ling ring ring~"

When the doorbell rang, Li Ye was confused for a few seconds.

When I worked in a company in my previous life, the time to get off work was entirely up to the employees themselves, but in the 1980s, factories still rang the bell on time like schools.

As the bell rang, female colleague Xiao Yue picked up her bag and went out first, followed closely by Section Chief Wu, while the remaining Xiao Zheng and Lao Ding took out lunch boxes and tableware from the drawers.

Lao Ding glanced at Li Ye and asked, "Xiao Li, are you going home to eat? Or are you going to eat in the factory cafeteria?"

Li Ye also took out tableware from his bag and said with a smile: "I will go to the cafeteria with you, Master Ding, today! Let's try the cooking skills of our factory's master chef."

"Then you will be disappointed. The big pot meals here are not even a little bit inferior to the big pot meals in the cafeteria of Peking University."

Old Ding smiled and shook his head. Suddenly he saw Li Ye's tableware and asked curiously, "Xiao Li, your tableware is very nice! Where did you buy it?"

Li Ye glanced at his stainless steel lunch box and said with a smile, "My wife bought it for me. I don't know."

Old Ding glanced at Li Ye, nodded and said, "Yes, it is a lifelong blessing to have a wife who knows how to love people."

"Haha, thank you Master Ding for the compliment. My wife really loves me."

Wen Leyu bought this set of thermal tableware for Li Ye when he was in the lighthouse. She picked it out with more care than buying clothes for herself.

Moreover, the young wife said at that time that the big pot dishes in the cafeteria were not nutritious, so she tried to bring meals to Li Ye as much as possible after marriage.

Although the food he brought was definitely not as hot as freshly cooked food, this thoughtfulness and consideration made Li Ye extremely satisfied.

Lao Ding took Li Ye down from the office building and saw many people heading in two directions, one was the main entrance and the other was the cafeteria.

Lao Ding explained to Li Ye: "Although our factory has been around for decades, it has just been established as a joint venture. New officials have three things to do when they take office, not to mention three new officials. So don't go downstairs before the bell rings, lest you be caught as an example."

"Oh~"

Li Ye suddenly understood.

It turns out that if the official was not new, everyone would have been waiting at the gate before the bell rang, and they would have been able to leave the factory gate on time once the bell rang.

However, workers in those days still had a strong sense of ownership. No matter whether the person in front of them was the factory director or section chief, they would rush to the factory gate after the bell rang. Unlike decades later, they would not let their superiors go first.

Even if the boss walks slowly and steadily, everyone has to follow behind him.

Li Ye saw Director Lu from the factory office. He pushed a Fei Ge bicycle out of the carport and followed the crowd to the factory gate.

Lao Ding looked at it and said, "Our factory dormitory is not far from here, and it only takes less than ten minutes to ride a bike, so some employees who are assigned to the dormitory go home for lunch at noon. But since you have a house to get married, you definitely don't have to wait in line for a room."

Li Ye nodded and withdrew his gaze from Director Lu.

Old Ding said casually, "Our factory does have a family planning department, which is in charge of things like baby certificates. The introduction letter must be obtained from the factory. You can go back and discuss it with your family to see how to work it out."

"Ok?"

Li Ye was stunned. Lao Ding had already walked forward.

Looking at Lao Ding's back, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

The colleagues I met today were all very interesting. Some of them gave me a sense of intimidation, while others gave me advice.

Lao Ding’s words may seem casual, but they contain two “key points”.

The factory does have a family planning department, but it only handles fertility. The letter of introduction required for marriage registration is issued by the factory office.

So, what does it have to do with Section Chief Wu?
If you have kidney deficiency, you should see a Chinese doctor. If you go to a Western doctor, won’t he still have to pay the difference to the middleman and give you a Chinese medicine conditioning package? Will he even give you a kidney replacement?

. . . . . . .

The food in the cafeteria was indeed unpalatable, but Li Ye and Lao Ding had a very pleasant lunch.

As a qualified master, Lao Ding gave Li Ye a detailed introduction to the basic situation of the department.

Deputy Section Chief Wu is Wu Qingyi, a retired cadre from the 1970s who has been "honing his skills" as a deputy section chief for more than ten years.

Female colleague Yue Lingshan and male colleague Zheng Jiemin were both technical secondary school students assigned to the company two years ago and are now official section officers. As for Old Ding, his name is Ding Zhiwen, he is already fifty-eight years old this year, and is a veteran who has just been promoted to deputy section chief and is waiting to retire.

"I'm sorry, Master. I should have called you Section Chief Ding."

Li Ye quickly apologized. Although Ding Zhiwen, the deputy section chief, was a standard winner of the "Lifetime Hard Work and Achievement Award", a deputy section chief was still a deputy section chief and he should not be treated as a cadre.

So Li Ye still has to apologize. This is basic workplace courtesy.

But Ding Zhiwen looked at Li Ye and said meaningfully: "Don't call me Chief Ding. I'm not used to it, and others won't be used to it either."

"."

Li Ye nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

There is no official boss in the department now, so theoretically speaking, Section Chief Wu Qingyi and Master Ding Zhiwen may both take a step forward and become "department bosses."

Of course, Ding Zhiwen's chances are definitely very small.

After Deputy Section Chief Wu is promoted, there is a high probability that another deputy section chief will be promoted. Li Ye will be in an equal competitive relationship with Xiao Yue, Xiao Zheng and several young and middle-aged colleagues in the next office.

Li Ye had seen a lot of things like "equal competition" in his previous life, and had seen it at all levels.

Li Ye felt that the levels of Yue Lingshan, Zheng Jiemin and even Wu Qingyi were just average. One should not show his ulterior motives on his face. Being the sixth in command also required very high technical qualities.

On the other hand, Li Ye felt that Old Ding, who was almost in semi-retirement and was so bored that he took the initiative to take an apprentice, had some skills.

There is a light in the old man's eyes.

A light that is somewhat similar to that of Grandpa Li Zhongfa.

They all started from scratch and struggled their way up from the bottom.

Unlike Li Ye, who has all kinds of magic weapons in his pocket, he can't compete fairly, so he just takes out his magic weapons and throws them around.

You are really good at using a stick, then try my AK-47!
. . . . . . . .

On Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, Li Ye had been reading the factory history materials that Lao Ding had found for him, and had a basic understanding of this company, which is known as one of the top three light vehicle companies in the country.

Beijing Second Automobile Works was established in 1955. It is the earliest enterprise in my country to produce light vehicles, and it trial-produced the first Satellite brand car in 1959.

In 130, with the joint efforts of several professors from the Automobile Department of Tsinghua University and the workers of our factory, the Beijing car was successfully developed and has been a best-seller for twenty years.

Later, over the past decade, Beijing Second Automobile Works adhered to the principle of common development and selflessly exported the technology of Beijing 130 to the national light automobile industry.
In that era, any formal state-owned factory that needed it could come and take away a complete set of Jingcheng 130 production drawings.

During its heyday, dozens of factories across the country benefited from it. Great Wall Motors in Baoding once produced the 130 car, which was derived from the Beijing 130.

Just last year, we introduced the Japanese Isuzu N series automobile technology and have begun to absorb and develop it.

After reading the information, Li Ye put away the last bit of contempt he had for this car manufacturer.

This is one of the top three companies in the light vehicle industry in China! If it can develop well in the tide of reform and opening up, its future achievements will be limitless.

Now all the workers, including Lao Ding, are full of confidence in the future.

But Li Ye is very clear that in the next decade or so, the entire automotive industry will face large-scale reforms, reorganizations and mergers, and light vehicles are the most chaotic part of the automotive industry.

There are approximately 120 automobile manufacturing plants in the entire mainland, of which more than 60 are engaged in the production of light vehicles. Ultimately, most of them are destined to be crushed by their peers.

The biggest key here is one word - money.

When Li Ye saw the introduction of Japanese Isuzu N series automobile technology, he asked Ding Zhiwen about the development of new models.

Ding Zhiwen didn't go into detail, but generally speaking, it was "absorbing some of the technology and developing it successfully as soon as possible."

This seems to be no problem, but in China, this kind of "compromise" research and development plan is most likely due to insufficient funds.

In other words, Beijing Light Automobile is still short of money.

And he, Li Ye, happens to be rich.
