That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 800 I've never seen a son-in-law like you

In the new workshop of the first branch, Li Ye was leading a technical team headed by Professor Zhao to familiarize themselves with the production line.

"Professor Zhao, the technical strength of our first branch is too weak. It will be difficult to fully implement the new production standards, so I have to trouble you all."

Professor Zhao said humorously: "It doesn't matter, as long as you keep your promise and follow Changbei's standards, the more trouble the better."

Professor Zhao is Tang Mingtai's teacher, and Tang Mingtai is now the technical manager of Changbei Machinery Company. So this time when Li Ye was carrying out management and technological reforms in the first branch factory, he naturally thought of these capable people.

It stands to reason that a production line of 130 trucks is not worth a team led by someone like Professor Zhao.

But unfortunately, Li Ye’s “action” was too generous.

Professor Zhao is a big shot in the industry and may not even look down on those few dollars. However, those technical talents at the associate researcher and researcher level in the institute cannot resist the temptation of such "legitimate income".

Since 84, inflation in the mainland has continued unabated. Many professor-level senior engineers have been forced to take up a second job after get off work to supplement their family income.

When setting up a stall at the night market late at night, I am afraid of meeting acquaintances.

Now Li Ye offers this opportunity. If you work outside for a month and set scientific and detailed production standards for a production line, you can get nearly 1,000 yuan of "legal income".
What's more, the workers call me "Engineer Li" and "Engineer Zhang" one by one. This kind of spiritual enjoyment is more exciting than the money.

In the words of Wu Yan, a student brought by Professor Zhao this time, "Money is not a big deal. At least they took our face into consideration. If you let a group of engineers sell tea eggs, isn't that nonsense?"

People like Wu Yan would rather spend a lot of effort to carefully calculate the best production method for a production link than simply "40 cents for eggs, three for one dollar."

Wu Yan stepped down from the overhead crane in the workshop. Without even wiping the sweat off his face, he assured Li Ye, "Don't worry, Chief Li! Give us 20 days, and I guarantee that your first branch will reach a monthly production of 800 vehicles."

"Eight hundred?"

Li Ye frowned, then asked, "Old Wu, can you go a little higher? We are old acquaintances, you can't set an ambush."

Zhang Liangshan was stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "Li Ye, most of your workers are new. If you want to ensure the quality, 800 to 1,000 vehicles is the most reasonable output."

Wu Yan joined Changbei as a technician three years ago and had extensive experience in industrial assembly lines. He had gotten drunk several times when drinking with Li Ye, so he certainly wouldn't hide it.

So since he said there can only be 800 cars per month, then it really is 800 cars.

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then you can design it according to the production mode of two shifts of 20 hours and try to increase the production capacity."

Wu Yan looked at Li Ye and said helplessly: "Li Ye, sometimes I really don't understand you and Li Dayong. You have squeezed the potential of the workers to the extreme.
But I want to say that you are the evil capitalists. All the workers in the factory can strangle me to death. Now the workers in Changbei are fighting to work overtime. Whoever does not let them work overtime will be everyone's enemy."

"Go away, go away. Have you forgotten how you got your own house and motorcycle? How many overtime hours did you work last month? How much overtime pay did you earn? Can a thirty-year-old speak?"

Professor Zhao feinted a kick and kicked Wu Yan away.

My little apprentice has a great talent for research, but sometimes he speaks in a way that offends people without realizing it.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Wu Yan is a very honest person. I really like talking to him. It doesn't require much thinking."

"He just met Tang Mingtai and Li Dayong."

Professor Zhao cursed in disdain, and then asked Li Ye in confusion: "The total output of your Light Automobile Company last year was only 20,000 units, right?
You have only a few people in your branch factory, and you are not satisfied with an annual production of 10,000 units? How many production tasks has your main factory assigned to you now? How many cars have you been promised to sell? "

Li Ye shook his head and said, "Our factory didn't give us any production tasks, nor will it help us with sales. Our factory sells independently."

Professor Zhao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How many cars have you sold now?"

Li Ye shook his head again: "Not yet, we will produce first and then sell."

"."

Professor Zhao was speechless. Although he was an expert in machinery, he also knew some business common sense.

You don't have any anchor customers, but are blindly going into full production, even 800 or 1,000 cars. Do you want these cars to line up in an orderly manner on the playground and rust?

The workers working nearby also pricked up their ears.

They understand the gap between the branch factory and the main factory better than Professor Zhao. If the products produced cannot be sold, it will not be a good thing for anyone.

After all, in recent years, whenever the factory holds a meeting, the constant topic is "poor performance" and "overcoming difficulties together". How to overcome difficulties together? Isn't it just cutting benefits and delaying salary payments?

For a moment, everyone had different looks and their own thoughts. But at this moment, Lu Zhizhang, the director of the first branch, ran into the workshop in a hurry, panting and his face flushed.

"Li Ye, Li Ye, good news, good news. We have an order for our new car. It's a big order, a full 1,000 cars."

"."

Teacher Zhao looked at Li Ye strangely, then at Lu Zhizhang, wondering if the two of you are performing a double act?

We just said we haven’t sold a single car, and now we’ve got a big order?

Li Ye put the folder away and said with a smile, "My great Director Lu, if there is an order, there is an order! Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that others don't know?"

Lu Zhizhang walked quickly to Li Ye, panting and nodding, saying, "I'm just afraid that others don't know that you're busy with purchasing and technology all day, and you haven't heard any of the rumors circulating in the factory!"

"Oh, another rumor."

Li Ye sneered sarcastically, and then did not ask what the rumor was, but said some extremely "arrogant" words.

"I always feel that if someone keeps spreading rumors about you, there are only three reasons,"

"First, you have something they don't have, and they are jealous;"

“Second, your standard of living is much higher than theirs, and they are jealous;”

"Third, they can't reach your level, so they can only stare at you helplessly."

Li Ye pointed at himself and said, "Think about it, when they spread rumors about me, did they meet these three criteria? I have a private car, I sell a script for 20,000 yuan, and I was a deputy section chief in half a year."

Li Ye pointed at the workers around him and said, "Why are they spreading rumors now? Because we promised the workers that the wages would increase by 10% every year, at least for five consecutive years. They are jealous, so they hope we will go bankrupt as soon as possible!"

"We all work in the same factory. If we have to be poor, we all have to be poor together. Why do you eat well and have high salaries? Isn't this just a rumor?"

"."

The workers around were all stunned, except Professor Zhao, who raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at Li Ye.

Lu Zhizhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled Li Ye's arm and walked out: "Stop talking about this. If you keep talking, you'll have another meeting tomorrow. Come with me to finalize the order."

"No, why are you arresting me to implement the order? I am the head of the supply department and the deputy head of the technical reform team."

Lu Zhizhang had no choice but to lower his voice and said to Li Ye: "It's an order from COFCO. They just called us and asked us to send someone over to confirm it."

Li Ye stopped and said in surprise: "COFCO's order? That's not right!"

Lu Zhizhang asked curiously, "What's wrong? They told me personally that we must go there today or tomorrow because it's almost the end of the month. If we delay a little, they won't be able to pay me the advance this month."

Li Ye frowned and said nothing. He followed Lu Zhizhang back to the office of the first branch factory, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Dad, I received a notice from your unit, but why are there only a thousand cars?"

"."

Lu Zhizhang stood aside, looking at Li Ye speechlessly, and really wanted to give him a big "admiration".

When attending Li Ye's wedding, Lu Zhizhang hardly moved his chopsticks, and was only focused on carefully "scouting the enemy situation."

He only needed to see how Wen Qingsheng treated visitors of different levels to know what Wen Qingsheng's background was.

That's not someone who climbed up from nowhere.

But look at the tone Li Ye uses when talking to his father-in-law now. How come he is even more casual than Lu Zhizhang is when he talks to his father-in-law who swings a sledgehammer?
[People say that you, Li Ye, are too arrogant, but it really is true! You, the son-in-law party, are really different from others. ]

Lu Zhizhang had worked in the factory office for many years, responsible for receiving his superiors and attending social gatherings with his peers. He had heard countless funny anecdotes.

But I have never heard of a son-in-law like Li Ye who dares to talk to his father-in-law.
