That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 795 I'm playing with the supply chain

In March, the willow trees around the lake have turned emerald green. The breeze blowing across the lake brushes the faces of passers-by, making them feel a fresh scent.

On Sunday noon, Li Ye was accompanying Wen Leyu, who was nearly eight months pregnant, for a slow stroll along the lake, chatting with her as they walked.

"You only know how to suffer losses. We rented our brand new factory and equipment to them, but they only gave you the title of acting section chief. If you hadn't been holding me back, I would have calculated the depreciation fee with them tomorrow. Do they really think they are so smart?"

"You can't calculate the account like this."

Li Ye patiently explained to Wen Leyu: "The production structure of our unit is too bloated. If we want to implement new management reforms, we can only jump out of the original circle.
If we use only the old workers and old workshops, we will still be in the hands of others, hindered everywhere, and get half the result with twice the effort. Even Monkey King would be exhausted to death! "

"Now that the branch factory has the right to operate independently, as long as it sets a good example, the workers at the main factory will naturally know who to support."

“As for equipment depreciation expenses”

Li Ye took Wen Leyu's arm and chuckled, "Land in Beijing is very expensive. Compared with the speed of land appreciation, the depreciation of equipment is nothing."

"It doesn't matter to them. We are the ones who are at a disadvantage. What did Uncle Ma do?"

Wen Leyu believed in Li Ye's economic vision. In 87, there were still many vegetable fields around Zhongguancun, so when Li Ye said "enclose a piece of land", she immediately enclosed a large piece of land and fully supported Li Ye's work.

But after more than half a month of hard work, the branch was finally settled down and Lu Zhizhang was appointed as the director of the branch. However, Li Ye was not appointed as the deputy director as most people expected. Instead, he was appointed as the acting chief of the supply and marketing department of the branch.

Wen Leyu was very unhappy. Originally, Li Ye should have been promoted from deputy section chief to full section chief, but now he was still deputy section chief. Moreover, one day he might be promoted back to the supply and marketing department of the main factory to make room for others!
Why? Do you think we are easy to bully?
But Li Ye felt that it was acceptable. Ma Zhaoxian was able to carve out a niche for himself within an old state-owned enterprise with complicated relationships, which showed that his ability was quite strong.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Even if there is support from the ministry, the tug-of-war and confrontation here is not something that can be solved with just a few words.

Anyway, Li Ye thinks that he is totally incapable of achieving this level now, and he is far from being able to do so.

"Didi-di-di-di-di~"

Wen Leyu's pager suddenly rang.

She picked it up and looked at it, and asked in confusion: "It's my mother who is looking for me! I called her this morning. What's the matter?"

Li Ye pointed to the front and said, "Go to the public telephone in front and answer the phone! Maybe there's something urgent!"

Wen Leyu nodded slightly and quickened his pace to answer the call.

When I got to the pay phone, I saw a long line of people waiting to make calls.

Li Ye and Wen Leyu had no habit of cutting in line, so they lined up quietly and waited. However, the person at the front kept chattering, making the people behind him anxious, and they even started fighting in the end.

Li Ye quickly pulled Wen Leyu away, then complained: "Someday you should urge your sister-in-law to start the wireless phone business quickly. Each person will have a mobile phone, so that they don't have to fight to make a phone call."

The phone booth owner laughed and said, "Hey, young man, you've only had this pager for a few days, and you're already thinking of using a cell phone? Do you think we're in a foreign country?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "People are fighting on your territory, you don't go to stop them, why are you telling me this?"

The stall owner pouted and shook his head: "I never try to stop fights, so as not to get into trouble. By the way, are you two going to make a phone call? If you want to, do it quickly."

“You really don’t delay business.”

"That's right. Time is money. Do you know how many people I asked to get this phone? This is the golden goose that lays eggs. How can I let it sit idle?"

"."

Li Ye looked at the complacent stall owner and figured that since mobile phones were introduced into the mainland in 87 and quickly became popular in the mid-to-late s, this owner would have less than ten years of good days ahead of him.

After the fight finally ended, Wen Leyu called his mother.

"Hey, mom, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm going to have dinner with you tonight. What's the matter? Oh, we'll be there soon."

Wen Leyu put down the phone, turned to Li Ye and said with a smile: "Let's go! Great hero, my sister-in-law should be pregnant, my mother is calling us to have a family dinner!" "What kind of great hero am I! My sister-in-law is the great hero."

"Humph, without you helping her go to Japan for IVF, how could she have a child? She owes you her whole life."

"."

. . . . . . . . .

When they arrived at his father-in-law's house, the whole family was in high spirits, and the eldest brother Wen Guohua was particularly enthusiastic towards Li Ye.

"Thank you brother, thank you so much."

"Brother, you are being too polite!"

Li Ye looked at Wen Guohua's eyes and understood what he meant by "thank you".

Because this completely proved that the reason why he and Pan Xiaoying had no children was not because of the tadpole. After this incident, Wen Guohua finally had the status of a real man in front of the strong Pan Xiaoying.

During dinner that night, Li Ye was really treated like a hero, and even Teacher Ke took the initiative to have a drink with him.

However, after the meal, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng called Li Ye over alone.

Wen Qingsheng asked, "Li Ye, Lao Xue invited me to have a few drinks yesterday, and then asked me, what do you think of the Light Automobile Company?"

"What do I think of the Light Automobile Company?"

Li Ye was puzzled for a moment, so he had to ask: "Dad, what does Uncle Xue mean by this idea?"

Wen Qingsheng was silent for a few seconds, then said directly: "Old Xue, do you mean to take over the Light Automobile Company?"

Li Ye quickly said: "No, I didn't mean that."

Wen Qingsheng nodded and said, "I also told him that you didn't mean that, but your unit has had a lot of bad things recently, and he felt that you and Xiaoyu were at a disadvantage, so he talked to me about it. If you are interested, you should have told me earlier."

Wen Qingsheng's words made Li Ye confused. Could it be that the higher-ups were also exploring ways to privatize the company? If Li Ye was interested, could they just let him buy the company as a whole?
Who knows, it might not cost much.

Well, the debt is a bit too much.

This is really a headache. Do you want to solve it all at once?

Or is it a test of myself?

Although the country had just issued a policy in 86 allowing foreign investment in sole or controlling shares, Li Ye felt that the time was not right.

"Dad, I really don't mean that. You know, I don't take advantage of the public. I just want to develop the automotive industry chain."

No matter what, Li Ye didn't want to swallow up the Light Automobile Company, at least not in its entirety.

Li Ye, a worker in the unit, was willing to accept them. After all, workers from the mainland were hardworking, obedient, and experienced in taking risks.

But after you take over all the "powerful masters" who are just doing nothing, can you manage them? They are all related people, and won't they suck your blood for the rest of your life?
Therefore, Li Ye hopes to accumulate various experiences in the process of reforming the Light Automobile Company, and also to lay a foundation for the parts factories invested by Wen Leyu.

All things are difficult at the beginning. Engines, gearboxes, wipers, headlights, tape recorders, these all need to be tested in the market. Only with basic customers can those parts factories gradually form scale and flourish.

After the industrial chain controlled by Wen Leyu was fully developed, Li Ye pulled together a technical team and built a car factory in a matter of minutes.

As for those "capable people" who only know how to scheme for personal gain, let them be drowned by the waves of history!
