That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 809 At worst, I can just go into the sea!

"Old Lu, where is your Pangdahai?"

Li Ye returned to the first branch factory, entered Lu Zhizhang's office, opened his desk drawer and started rummaging around, not at all shy.

Lu Zhizhang smiled and said, "Don't you like drinking Coke? Why are you drinking Pangdahai?"

Li Ye said casually: "I talked a lot just now, I need to moisten my throat."

Lu Zhizhang's face darkened. He found some Sterculia lychnophora for Li Ye and soaked it in water. Then he looked at Li Ye silently without asking any questions.

Li Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why don't you ask me what I said after I was caught?"

"It's probably about giving us a complete management team!"

Lu Zhizhang said softly: "The day before yesterday I was also called over, we played a game of chess and talked a lot."

Li Ye was surprised and said, "You were also caught playing chess!"

"Oh, before you came to the company, I was often forced to play chess." Lu Zhizhang pursed his lips and said, "But the day before yesterday, I won for the first time."

"You actually won? Isn't that unexpected? Then what?"

Li Ye was very surprised, because since he was often caught playing chess, he must be considered as a direct descendant, and now he actually won for the first time in history.
Old Lu, you want to rebel!

“Then I got scolded~”

Lu Zhizhang said calmly: "The general manager didn't scold me, but others scolded me very badly, saying that I was ungrateful, that I was ungrateful, that I had wolfish ambitions, and that I was a slave of three surnames."

"Shh, cough, cough, hot."

Li Ye accidentally sipped a mouthful of water, which was a little hot on his mouth.

But he didn't care about the burning mouth now, and asked in a low voice: "Why do they scold you like that? Do you have the courage of Lu Bu?"

Lu Zhizhang chuckled and said, "That's not the case. I used to work with the old factory director. After he retired, several of my colleagues were either transferred or changed positions, but I was not affected much.
Now that we have a joint venture, I have come to a branch factory. A few days ago, they felt that I was disobedient, so they scolded me."

"."

Lu Zhizhang's words made Li Ye laugh and cry.

The position of factory director is usually held by a close confidant of the unit's top leader, so Li Ye always thought that Lu Zhizhang was promoted by the factory director!

Now it seems that the old factory director is Lu Zhizhang's mentor and has been very kind to him.

But on the other hand, when the big boss changes, if he doesn't get rid of you, a subordinate of the old boss, people will think it is a disguised promotion.

As for Lu Zhizhang's strong abilities and solid business skills, those were not even considered.

And what Lu Zhizhang said to Li Ye today was obviously also intended to make his position clear. He really wants to get on board with Li Ye.

Therefore, it cannot be said that those who call him the modern-day Lu Bu are without any basis.

But Li Ye doesn't dislike Lu Zhizhang.

"Old Lu, this matter will definitely be discussed at the meeting in the end. How are you going to express your opinion then?"

"Ah~, I really don't want them to ruin the good atmosphere of the branch factory!"

Lu Zhizhang sighed and said, "Li Ye, you have been in the company for a short time, so you may not be able to feel the difference between the main factory and the first branch factory."

"If you want to do something at the main factory, it takes one or two weeks from the beginning to the meeting and discussion," "But in our branch factory, problems are solved on the spot. Small problems are not solved overnight, and big problems are solved in one or two days."

"But if we let those people come, it may seem that our management team is full and we will both be less tired, but I tell you, if you want to do something in the future, don't expect it to go smoothly."

"."

Li Ye listened to Lu Zhizhang for a long time, then nodded and said, "I know, I also hate this kind of 'fake middle level', it only gets in the way."

In his previous life, Li Ye had experienced a similar situation in a certain unit.

The unit has a lot of "fake middle managers" who all have positions and power. They attend meetings, reports, and more meetings all day long, and they can turn a small matter into a big one.

Li Ye was thinking, you guys are getting high salaries, why not just drink tea in the office every day? Anyway, it doesn't matter if you are there or not.
But later an old colleague said, if you just drink tea all day, can the rights you have worked so hard to get be transformed into a sense of satisfaction?

Well, what they pursue is the dual enjoyment of material and spiritual!

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Our first branch will be expanded in the next step. We can't manage it with just a few of us. But we can't have those old-timers and fake middle managers like you mentioned."

"Yes, I think so too," Lu Zhizhang said, "When we discussed it at the meeting, I proposed that the management cadres should be younger.
We can promote some people from within the company, select some young people, or some pragmatic people like Master Ding, but we definitely can’t make the company as bloated as the main factory.”

Li Ye looked at Lu Zhizhang and said, "If you bring this up openly at the meeting, you'll really offend a lot of people."

Lu Zhizhang laughed and said casually, "At worst, I can just quit my job and go into business like Guan Liang did! That guy is colluding with a few people in the factory to trade and make a lot of money!"

"."

That afternoon, Li Ye chatted with Ma Zhaoxian for a while and told him about Lu Zhizhang and his own ideas.

After all, a branch factory is not a private enterprise. At the beginning, it may allow Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye to "act arbitrarily", but personal rights will definitely be restricted later.

However, whether or not they can be restricted depends on personal ability. Have those big shots who are so bold as to deceive the world been restricted?
This matter progressed very quickly. From the day after Li Ye played chess with the factory director, the head office began to discuss the matter in a meeting. The argument was very intense, and in the end even Manager Chen from Hong Kong, who seldom showed up, joined the argument.

In the end, Ma Zhaoxian slammed the table and asked, "The first branch is developing well, why are we in a hurry to change the management method? If bad changes occur after the change, who will be responsible? I will agree if someone is responsible."

No one wants to take responsibility.

Because they were afraid that Ma Zhaoxian would set a trap for them.

The factory manager is right. The two most important aspects of a company's development are buying in and selling out.

Part of the loan that Sino-Singapore Industrial Bank gave to a branch factory is a short-term revolving loan. If you make Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye angry, they will come to your door in two months to collect the debt and see if you can repay it.

Now, most of the production orders of the first branch are brought by Li Ye. If people don’t want them anymore, will the first branch still prosper?
After arguing for a full week, they finally came to a result that all three parties were barely satisfied with.

In order to expand the scale of production, the first branch factory once again transferred a group of skilled workers and some young cadres from the main factory.

In addition, Li Ye was finally no longer the acting section chief, but took over the position of deputy factory director which had been vacant for several months, responsible for both supply and sales.

Within less than a year after joining the factory, Li Ye jumped two levels, thus tying the record for the fastest promotion in the unit.

The last time there was such a quick promotion was during a special period more than ten years ago!

As for the head office, the vice chairman of the trade union, who had just been parachuted in a few months ago, was sent to a branch factory to set up a branch factory trade union and preside over the work of the trade union.

Neither Li Ye nor Lu Zhizhang cared much about this arrangement.

Although the trade unions focus on the masses and hold the deadly weapon of "uniting the majority", it is already 1987. If you want to unite the majority, you can't just rely on slogans, right?
