That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 808 Life is like chess
Li Ye received a notice that the factory director wanted to "summon" him alone, and the time was set during the lunch break after lunch.

Li Ye was not surprised at the factory director's summons.

After all, he had been soliciting loans, orders, and supply bidding in the past few days, and even donated 200,000 yuan.
With such a high-profile and eccentric young man under his command, it is very normal for the factory director, the top boss of the unit, to want to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with him.

But Li Ye was puzzled by the time of the meeting. If it was a work-related issue, shouldn't we discuss it during working hours? You didn't invite me to dinner at noon, so what were you going to talk about?

Considering that he had some similar experiences in his previous life, Li Ye ate and drank his fill first, then went to the toilet before going up to knock on the door.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

"Please come in."

Li Ye had figured it out. If he encountered a dirty trick like "Wait a moment, I'll finish the work on hand" after entering the door, then Li Ye would find a corner and sit down, without saying a word until the end of the get off work day.

[What are you busy doing in the middle of the day? Does it seem like you work hard for the company? Whoever pays attention first is the grandson. ]

However, after entering the door, Li Ye was a little surprised.

In addition to office supplies such as desks and filing cabinets, the factory director's office also has a small square table with a chess endgame on it.

At this time, the factory director was sitting next to a small table and looking at the door.

Seeing that it was Li Ye who came in, the factory manager smiled immediately: "Oh, it's Li Ye! Come and sit down, come and sit down."

Seeing the factory director's amiable smile, Li Ye instantly felt that the other party had a high level of vision and it would be even more difficult for him to deal with him.

The factory manager was sitting at the small table and didn't get up, so was he invited to come over and play the next game with him?
Sure enough, after Li Ye sat down, the factory director messed up the mess on the table.
Then he said while setting up the chess pieces: "At noon, Lao Jiang often comes to play a game with me. Today he went home for lunch, so it's a good opportunity for you to play a game with me."

"."

If other young employees were invited to play chess with the boss, they would definitely be flattered, but Li Ye said tactfully: "Director, I'm not very good at playing chess!"

But the factory director waved his hand and said, "First, don't call me factory director, call me general manager. Now we are a new joint venture, we can't use the old name. Second..."

The factory manager looked at Li Ye and said meaningfully: "You don't know how to play, I can teach you!"

[Teach me? Are you going to teach me how to play chess? Or are you going to teach me something else? ]

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Li Ye was not nervous because of the factory director's words. He stretched out his hand and began to help place the chess pieces.

The factory manager still smiled, but a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He has been through ups and downs in the unit for more than 30 years and has seen countless young people who are full of vigor and arrogance, but there has never been one as "casual" as Li Ye.

In front of the big factory manager, those people either acted cautiously like little lambs, or put on a stern face and acted like big-tailed eagles with disdain. He could see through their hearts at a glance.

But Li Ye seemed to be "slow to react" and had no idea that the factory director in front of him was the most powerful boss in the Light Automobile Company.

"Red first, black later, Li Ye, you go first!"

"Okay, take the lead!"

Li Ye took the initiative in a conventional manner, as free and easy as if he was playing with a retired old man in the park in his previous life.

It’s just that the factory director’s chess skills are obviously better than those of ordinary retired old men. He defeated Li Ye in no time and it seemed that only the old veteran was left.

The factory manager smiled and said, "Li Ye, you only have one veteran left, can you still hold on?"

Li Ye said nonchalantly: "Of course I can't insist on that. The general manager is a great chess player. I accept my defeat with all my heart."

The factory manager said as he rearranged the chess pieces: "In fact, life is like a game of chess. Even if a person is the bravest among the three armies, even if he has the talent of a general, he cannot support a game of chess alone, and..."

The factory manager paused, looked at Li Ye with a smile and said, "And some people may not be talented enough to be generals."

【Well, the main part of the drama is finally here. 】

"What the factory manager said is that among all living beings, only one in ten thousand can be a general. Of course, there are very few. Be the first one!"

Li Ye arranged the chess pieces and without any hesitation, he went straight to the first move.

The factory manager's eyes shone, he jumped up and said with a smile: "Generals also need training. You are a 'pawn' today, but you may become a 'cannon' tomorrow, and finally you may become a veteran general!"

"Oh~, what the general manager said makes sense."

Li Ye nodded and began to concentrate on playing chess, no longer wasting time talking in roundabout ways with the other party.

This round took a long time. Halfway through, the factory manager finally said, "Whether you are a general or a commander, you always need someone to help you.
For example, your first branch factory now relies on Xiao Lu and a few of you to support it. We all see how tired you are. "

"So the company is going to hold a meeting recently to discuss the matter of completing your management team. What do you think about this?"

"."

Li Ye raised his head and said in confusion: "I am just a small pawn and I am not qualified to participate in this kind of discussion!"

"Hahahaha, how come you are just a pawn?"

The factory owner laughed and said, "The success of an enterprise actually depends on two things: first, whether it can buy in, and second, whether it can sell out.
Li Ye, although you are an acting section chief, you have grasped these two key points. And as far as I know, you have a special relationship with Mr. Pei from Hong Kong Island! "[Did you finally get some inside information?]

Some people at Beijing University could guess about the relationship between Li Ye and Pei Wencong, but they were just guesses.

"Haha, Director, you are too kind. How can a small section chief like me have that ability? All this is thanks to Deputy Manager Ma and Director Lu."

No matter what, Li Ye would not say anything about such matters.

When the first branch was first planned and built, it was indeed planned to have a complete management team. However, due to Guan Liang's failure, the team was repeatedly simplified and almost ended up in vain.

Think about it, giving you 200,000 yuan in start-up capital, isn't it just to stop you from doing anything?

As a result, Li Ye went through a lot of trouble and ended up being what he is now.

Now that the hen is about to lay eggs, people are thinking about making you fully equipped.

Don’t talk to me, the acting section chief, go and talk to Ma Zhaoxian!
Don't be so sincere to a small pawn like me. It's clear that I'm Ma Zhaoxian's man, and I'm not on the same side as you.

The factory manager pondered for a few seconds and said emotionally: "Li Ye, I know you are very talented, but even if you really have the talent of a general, you have only been working for less than a year. If you are promoted too high and too fast, you will definitely not be able to convince the public, and you will also lack the accumulation of grassroots experience."

"In addition, the current prosperity of the first branch factory is inseparable from the support of the main factory. Not to mention that the load-bearing frame needs the support of the main factory, didn't Director Lu transfer a part of the 136 new cars from the main factory a few days ago?"

"It is true that the branch factory has independent accounting, but it is ultimately part of the same company as the main factory and can never be separated from it."

"Click~"

"General~"

The factory manager ate one of Li Ye's horses and then became a checkmate.

Li Ye silently pushed a car and responded tit for tat.

The factory manager smiled as he pulled away his chair and said, "These words! I originally wanted to say them directly at the meeting.

But now we are a joint venture of three companies. If some things cannot be discussed in advance, there may be disputes at the meeting, and it will not look good if the family is not harmonious. "

Li Ye frowned slightly, not sure what the factory director meant.

[What did you say just now? Were you discussing something with me? Or were you treating me as a messenger and asking me to pass on a message to Ma Zhaoxian?]

Logically speaking, at Li Ye's level, the factory director should not discuss matters concerning the management team of a branch factory with him. It would be more reasonable if Li Ye was asked to pass the message to Ma Zhaoxian.

In the workplace, the No. 1 Boss usually does not come into direct conflict with the No. 2 Boss, requiring their subordinates to fight each other.

"Crack~"

The factory manager ate another rook of Li Ye, and then said meaningfully: "What you just said is both right and wrong. There are naturally very few talented generals, but I am afraid that a small pawn thinks he is a rook."

"."

Li Ye looked up at the factory director in surprise, then smiled.

"What the general manager said is that I don't really know how to play chess, I just play randomly."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you make a bet randomly, as long as you don't cheat if you lose."

"No, no, hehe, it's almost time, I'll leave first, General Manager."

"Oh, then I won't send you off!"

"Hey~"

Li Ye opened the door and left. The factory manager, who had been smiling all the time, also calmed down.

"Heh, is it a pawn or a rook? I really can't tell. He's quite capable despite being so young."

The factory manager shook his head and laughed, then turned around and started to clean up the remaining chess pieces.

Then he froze.

Although he is over 50 years old, he has a good memory and remembers every move made by Li Ye.

But now on the chessboard, Li Ye took one more step before leaving.

He pushed a pawn across the river.

The pawn crossing the river acts as a chariot driver. Who says that the pawn is not a hero?

"Haha~ You're quite courageous!"

The factory manager picked up the pawn and threw it into the chess box.

But I don't know if it was because he didn't throw it accurately, or the pawn was unwilling to accept the defeat, but it bounced out of the chess box again, fell to the ground, and jumped around for a long time.
