That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 821 I'm Not a Newbie

The factory manager was quite capable. After a brief silence, he spoke a series of steady and powerful words.

"Mr. Xiao is also a veteran of our company. He started working in the factory in 1960. It can be said that the thousands of employees and hundreds of D members in the factory are his brothers and sisters. Now that he sees his brothers and sisters' jobs are in jeopardy, it is understandable that he is anxious."

"The good performance of the first branch factory is of course due to the efforts of Xiao Lu and Li Ye, but we also have to consider the interests of the main factory. So whether it is to adjust the price of the J3 car or to unify the sales management, let's discuss it together. It's not too much to say whether it's right or wrong."

At first glance, these words sound reasonable. They not only affirm the contributions of Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, but also explain why Xiao Jingang asked Li Ye "Do you obey the decision of the unit?"

But if we think about it, is it true that the branch factory is competing with the main factory for food? Then we need to discuss whether to take back the independent sales rights of the branch factory?

"The price set by the first branch is still too low. Deputy Director Li is indeed a top student and is indeed capable, but he is too young after all. He doesn't know the cost of daily necessities. He only calculates the production cost and sells at a low price as soon as there is a little profit."

"We can't blame Deputy Director Li entirely, right? Xiao Lu is an experienced cadre, why would he make such a mistake? He should have discussed it with Section Chief Park and the others before setting the price."

"Ha~"

Listening to everyone's heated discussion, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

In any unit in the mainland, whether it is a private enterprise or a public institution, there is a tradition of "holding a big meeting for small matters and a small meeting for big matters".

Because the interests involved in major events are too profound, no one involved will give up, and the quarrels become very fierce, which is very disgraceful and indecent if seen by the people below.

However, those trivial matters can be brought to the meeting for discussion by everyone, which reflects the fairness and justice of the unit and allows the workers to experience the feeling of being "masters".

But the sales rights of a branch factory is no trivial matter!

This independent sales right was something that Ma Zhaoxian had fought hard for after several rounds of struggle. Now he wants it back?
Problems that cannot be solved or things that cannot be obtained at a small meeting can be obtained at a large meeting?
"Sigh~"

Li Ye suddenly remembered something.

[Isn't this an attempt to stir up public opinion first, and then use the excuse of "this matter is of great importance" to initiate a vote by raising hands? ]

Sure enough, when it comes to political intrigue, he is no novice.

The "show of hands voting" in the mainland is a very powerful management method. Many mainlanders may be accustomed to it and think it is just "the minority obeys the majority" and nothing special.

However, after careful study, some overseas analysts were filled with fear and felt a chill down their spines.

Let's take a typical example. In May 08, a state-owned enterprise was organizing a tour for its employees in the southwest, and then the disaster happened.

After losing communication and being completely cut off from the outside world, three D members among the state-owned enterprise employees immediately formed a D team. Within a day and a night, they recruited everyone around them to rescue people and disaster relief, and the team grew rapidly like a snowball.
During the entire process, any objections were immediately raised by raising hands for voting, and all scattered personnel accepted and obeyed the voting results, even if their original wishes were completely contrary to the voting results.

When external rescue workers arrived, the team had already organized thousands of people and handed over this team of thousands of people to the relevant departments.

Later, when the overseas research team learned about this case, they felt it was incredible.

Because if they encounter a similar situation in their local area, some people will cry and shout to save their beloved dogs, some will tremble and beg for help, and some may take the opportunity to start a zero-dollar shopping.
They were totally unable to comprehend how this level of emergency organization capability could be successfully put together. They were clearly a group of ordinary people at the bottom of society who were at a loss, so how could they suddenly have rules and regulations?

And all of this stems from "accepting the voting results", which has permeated into everyone's consciousness.

It has advantages and disadvantages, and is extremely powerful.

Just like now, if everyone voted by raising their hands to let the branch factory hand over the sales rights to the main factory, it would be difficult for Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian to deal with it. After all, they did it in the name of "unified coordination" and it was approved by everyone.

The only problem now is that a "show of hands vote" cannot be initiated casually. There must be sufficient reasons.
【Then remove the firewood from under the cauldron. 】

Li Ye found an opportunity and said loudly: "I'm sorry! Dear colleagues, when our first branch was established, we were only allocated a production plan of 130.
At that time, we thought that the main factory would gradually switch to producing the new 136 car, so no matter how we improved it or how we priced it, it would not have much impact.

"But now I think the main problem is not that our J3 is priced too low, but that the J2 130 of the main factory is not competitive enough in the market. So the top priority should be to improve production instead of wasting time on price.
Now Jinling's Yuejin 131 has been put on the market, and our J3 130 is struggling to compete with them. In a year or so, I'm afraid the J2 130 will not be able to fight back at all."

"."

Li Ye's shocking words quieted down the noisy meeting room.

This is just like what the strategist of the Three Kingdoms said: "You are facing a disaster without even realizing it." Scare one guy first.

Ma Zhaoxian also looked at Li Ye with a smile, because all this was within their expectations.

Ma Zhaoxian immediately called on the technical section chief, Lao Xing: "Chief Xing, I remember the factory bought a Yuejin 131 for comparative analysis. Have you come up with the results of your analysis?"

Mr. Xing from the Technical Department pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "After a detailed comparative analysis, we have come up with some results.
If we compare it with our new 136, both cars have their own advantages. Our 136 is faster and more comfortable to drive, but if we compare the 130J2 with the Yuejin 131, there is indeed a gap. "

Isn't that nonsense? There is only a generation difference. It would be strange if there is no gap.

Ma Zhaoxian said: "Then speed up the mass production of 136! The country has invested so much money, but it has not yet been mass-produced and has not seen any returns. Aren't we going to reflect on ourselves?"

"."

Section Chief Xing lowered his head and said nothing, but the people in the factory director's group all became alert. What did Ma Zhaoxian mean by this? Was he dissatisfied with the slow production of 136 and wanted to assign the production task of 136 to a branch factory?
You are so good, Li Ye, why are you singing a duet with Ma Zhaoxian?

The 136 new type of automobile is a national-level introduction project and the future of the entire Light Automobile Company. How could it be handed over to a branch factory?

If one of the branch factories is allowed to do something successful, will they then take over the main factory?

The factory director immediately spoke up and said, "What Deputy Manager Ma said makes sense. The first branch has already given us a clear direction and proved that the improved 130 is very popular in the market. So why should we stick with the old product?
It took only a few months for the first branch to make the improvement. Can't you, Mr. Xing, be more proactive?"

[I want to be proactive, but do I need your consent? 】

Old Xing straightened his chest and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Please rest assured, leaders, as long as there is no problem with the supply of spare parts, we can immediately support the improvement of production."

The factory manager then looked at Lao Ding and said, "Chief Ding, your supply department must fully cooperate with this improvement. You can't let the workers wait for the rice to cook."

"Please rest assured, I will come up with a purchasing plan today and visit the supplier tomorrow."

Old Ding narrowed his eyes, nodded and answered.

But the old man was thinking in his mind how to remind Li Ye later that he should not provide such an important supply channel to the main factory unconditionally.

In a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, all resources need to be exchanged, and no one can take advantage of others for free.

But at this moment, Wu Qingyi, deputy chief of the supply department, smiled and said, "I have an idea! Since the first branch now has a ready-made procurement plan, why don't we entrust them with full procurement authority? After the procurement, we can coordinate internally, so it won't be a waste!"

[You think it's pretty nice~]

Li Ye glared at Wu Qingyi, despising from the bottom of his heart people who only wanted to sit back and reap the benefits.

He wants to get everything ready-made and wants to share the credit without even doing anything.

But Wu Qingyi, you idiot, do you know what the word "deputy" in the title of deputy section chief specifically represents?
Deputy means assistant. Your main responsibility as a deputy is to assist the head of the department. The head of the department, Mr. Ding, has just expressed his opinion. Is it necessary for you to be so smart?

What’s the matter? Did you get support from foreign aid?
Any deputy who dares to steal the limelight from the principal in public must have external support and is fearless.

Li Ye said with a teasing tone, "Deputy Section Chief Wu, you want me to take your supply department's job! That won't work, absolutely not."

"."

Wu Qingyi blushed immediately. Li Ye's meaning was clearly "I have done everything, what are you doing?"

But the problem is, I have already gone to Changbei Machinery Factory to discuss purchasing, but they refused to sell to me!

If Lao Ding assigns this job to me at that time, wouldn't it be my incompetence that delayed the task assigned by the factory director?

That old guy, Lao Ding, is quite treacherous!
Fortunately, the factory director still supported Wu Qingyi. He said to Li Ye, "Li Ye, please stay for a while. Let's discuss this issue in detail."

He knew that Wu Qingyi had run into problems when he went to Changbei Machinery Company to make purchases, and he could ask a branch factory to coordinate the purchase. The main factory wouldn't have to pay for the purchase, and they could just buy the goods. Why not do it?
Li Ye frowned slightly and was about to nod in agreement. Anyway, he was already used to the wrangling style in large state-owned enterprises. His word did not count and he did not feel any pressure at all.

Moreover, he knew very well that as the situation progressed, the party without technology and funds would not be able to escape the fate of being controlled.

But before Li Ye agreed, the pager on his waist suddenly rang.

As soon as Li Ye saw the phone number, he immediately stood up and walked out.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do at home. I have to leave first."

"."

Dozens of people in the conference room were all stunned.

Didn’t you hear what the factory manager said just now?

I just told you to stay and discuss something, and you immediately stood up and wandered off?
Why is it such a coincidence?

After a long while, someone finally murmured, "What a lack of organization and discipline."

But as soon as the man muttered half a sentence, Ma Zhaoxian on the stage started cursing.

"Is there never a time when your family has problems? When has the organizational discipline prevented you from taking care of your family? An excellent cadre is always picked on. Do you still have some tolerance for others?"

"."

There were dozens of people, but no one responded.
