That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 807: Not Able to Achieve Greatness
On April 30, 1988, it rained moderately in Beijing.

Li Ye was driving, listening to cheerful music, happily on his way to work.

On rainy days, the happiness index of car owners will definitely increase by +1. After all, they have to bear high expenses such as fuel, insurance, tire wear, etc. on weekdays. Compared with riding an electric bike, it seems like they have wasted too much money.

But when encountering bad weather, looking at the Yadi and Xiaodao cars on the roadside moving forward wetly, the car I bought for 100,000 yuan suddenly felt like it was worth 80,000 yuan.

What's more, some guys even deliberately ran over the puddles on the roadside, as if the splashing water could wash away the darkness in their hearts and give them great pleasure.

Li Ye is a kind person with a sunny heart, so he flexibly avoided the accumulated water on both sides of the road along the way to avoid splashing pedestrians and bicycles on both sides of the road.

In this case, the car's speed must have been slow, so when it was still a few kilometers away from the unit, it was suddenly overtaken by a 213 jeep.

After passing, the car immediately turned right, obviously intending to block Li Ye's Santana.

Without saying a word, Li Ye put the car in reverse gear and drove back before the other party got out of the car.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see idiots who would kill people for a few tens of thousands of dollars. Li Ye can be considered a "modestly rich man", so he always stays alert and avoids any contact with danger.

However, Li Ye soon realized that he was overly alert, because he knew the person who got off the 213 jeep. He was Director Kan, who produced vacuum booster pumps.

After Director Kan got off the car, he waved to Li Ye while smiling, despite the fact that it was still raining.

The door of Jeep 213 was left open, revealing cigarettes, fine wines and other gifts inside.

[Are you going to give me a gift? ]

At the supply bidding meeting a few days ago, Director Kan's product was shortlisted because there are not many mainland companies producing vacuum-assisted braking systems at this time.

Because Li Ye didn't want to entrust such an important part of the brake accessories to a single company, he asked the company's technical staff to try to improve the solution and use pneumatic brakes instead of vacuum assist.

Because in his previous life, Li Ye had noticed that many light trucks were eventually converted to pneumatic brakes.

In theory, the cost of pneumatic brakes is higher than that of hydraulic brakes, but pneumatic brakes are already a very mature technology and the cost has dropped very low, so Li Ye thinks it is feasible.

Then we found that the effect was surprisingly good, and some of the new cars delivered were well received by users.

Li Ye hardly purchased any of Director Kan's products. The other party was obviously anxious and came to give him gifts.

[How did this guy become the factory manager? Giving him a gift is like setting him up.]

Li Ye looked at the other person with disdain, turned left and walked away, leaving the stunned Director Kan where he was.

The driver of bus 213 got out of the car in the rain, holding an umbrella for Director Kan and saying, "Director, I told you that we can't give gifts like this. If someone sees it, he won't be able to explain himself even if he opens his mouth a hundred times."

"So what if you saw it? Who is afraid of receiving gifts nowadays?"

Director Kan had a gloomy face and felt annoyed and confused.

As late as 1987, using backdoors and giving gifts were nothing. Many people would just knock on doors and visit openly with gifts. If no one gave gifts to your home, it proved that you were not doing well at your workplace!

"No, I mean that Section Chief Li seems to be quite rich, so let's give him a small gift."

"What do you know? The richer a person is, the greedier he is. Otherwise, how did he become rich? Let's go buy some good things. We'll block him again in the afternoon. I don't believe he won't be tempted."

Director Kan took a hateful look at the driving Santana and turned around to get in the car again.

Then he saw Xiao Zhu, a technician from a branch factory, riding a bicycle towards him, all wet.

Section Chief Kan quickly grabbed Xiao Zhu and said with a smile: "Technician Zhu, did you fall? Look, you are all wet. Get in the car, get in the car, I will take you to the factory hospital."

"It's such bad luck. I don't know which wicked person stole the manhole cover. It's raining today and the water can't be seen."

Xiao Zhu's legs were aching from the fall! When he saw a car, he immediately got on, cursing.

After he sat in, he realized that there was a pile of gifts on the back seat of the jeep, and then he felt embarrassed.

"Isn't it? The price of scrap metal is rising every day this year! These manhole covers are very popular among the vagrants. They are nothing but a thing that can give birth to a child without an anus."

Director Kan got into the car while scolding Xiao Zhu, and then saw Xiao Zhu's embarrassment.

Then Director Kan said, "Isn't it May Day? We just happened to be out visiting. These gifts are for several leaders of your branch factory, including Director Lu, Section Chief Li, and Technician Zhu."

"."

Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked down at the pile of gifts.

This pile of gifts may seem like a lot, but they are only worth 700-800 yuan. If divided into several parts, each part is at most 200 yuan, which is about the same as his monthly salary. Of course, when Xiao Zhu was in the main factory, his salary was less than 100 yuan. It was only because the branch factory paid attention to technical personnel that Xiao Zhu was able to get various subsidies and became rich.

Xiao Zhu said: "You guys want to visit our branch factory! That's perfect, I'll go with you to the factory first to report in, and then go to the factory hospital."

Director Kan smiled and said, "Oh, we were originally thinking of going directly to your branch, but considering that there would be too many people and it would cause gossip, so we asked Technician Zhu to help us take this gift over."

"."

Xiao Zhu slowly raised his head and asked, "You're just expressing your thoughts, without any other words?"

"Hehe~hehe~"

Director Kan smiled and said, "We have always wanted to invite Section Chief Li and Director Lu to dinner, but the two leaders have been very busy, so..."

Even though Xiao Zhu was a technical guy who didn't like to take advantage of others, he now understood what Director Kan was trying to do.

If you need help from someone, then you need help from them. Why bother visiting them during the holidays?

Xiao Zhu got off the car and took his bicycle while saying in a deep voice: "You have found the wrong person. Not to mention me, a technician, even several directors in the unit can't invite Chief Li to dinner. He never drinks or eats with others."

Director Kan quickly grabbed Xiao Zhu's bicycle and said, "Technician Zhu, Technician Zhu, please don't misunderstand me. I'll take you to the factory hospital first. Your legs are bleeding."

Xiao Zhu shook his head slowly and said, "Director Kan, don't bother yourself. Not to mention that Section Chief Li doesn't accept gifts, even if he does, you can't afford it."

"."

Seeing that Director Kan was confused, Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "You may not have noticed the rumors about our factory recently.

Our Section Chief Li donated 200,000 yuan for the country's computer development, so how much gift do you think would make him violate the principle? "

"Two hundred thousand???"

Director Kan exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

He had heard that Li Ye was rich, but the figure of two hundred thousand still shocked his three views.

What can you do with 200,000 yuan in 1987?

If Director Kan had 200,000 yuan, he could do a lot of things. It would be easy for him to get promoted to a higher level, and he could even change a few more wives.

. . . . . . . . .

Inside the director's building of the Light Automobile Company, several people huddled together smoking silently.

"Have you heard? The first branch has received a purchase plan from COFCO and the Post Office. There are at least 3,000 vehicles, which cannot be produced in a year."

"It will take less than a year. I asked the day before yesterday and now one of our factories can produce more than 20 cars every day. It's no exaggeration to say that we are making a fortune every day."

"I've talked to Lu Zhizhang several times, but he always shirks the responsibility. Do you think we hired the wrong person?"

"Director, how about we re-discuss the composition of the leadership team of the first branch? It was not appropriate to let Lu Zhizhang take on two positions at the beginning."

"."

Everyone fell silent and looked at the factory director silently.

When a branch factory was established a few months ago, Lu Zhizhang took on both the roles of director and secretary, and everyone thought it was a good fit.

But now everyone feels that it is inappropriate. How can one person take all the benefits?
But it was these people who originally proposed that Lu Zhizhang take on two positions. Would Ma Zhaoxian agree if they changed their mind now?

The factory manager said calmly: "I heard that Li Ye donated 200,000 a few days ago?"

"."

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds, and then said, "Yes, he is so young but he doesn't know how to be low-key. He always emphasizes how rich he is. I don't think he will achieve anything great."

"Hehe, she is so high-profile because she has the ability to do so, so don't be jealous."

The factory manager put out the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "Old Xiao, go call him over. I want to have a good chat with him."

"."

Everyone looked at each other, all at a loss.

Is the boss cherishing his talent? Or is he seeking peace?
