That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 825 What a big appetite

The next morning, Li Ye returned to work. Before he could ask Lu Zhizhang if he had any important matters in the past few days, Lu Zhizhang asked him in a low voice: "How many people do you plan to invite to your child's full moon banquet?"

Li Ye asked in surprise: "Old Lu, do you think I need to make a big fuss?"

Only a few people in the Light Automobile Company knew that Li Ye had asked for leave to go home to accompany his wife as she gave birth. Li Ye did not plan to make it public, and would just ask Lu Zhizhang and Lao Ding to join him when the time came.

But Lu Zhizhang said: "You haven't been here for a few days, and many people have come to ask if your family has had a new baby, so this matter couldn't be concealed in the end."

"I know you don't want to make a big fuss, but if you always keep your distance from everyone, you'll push some people over to others."

Li Ye looked at Lu Zhizhang in surprise, turned back to close the office door, and whispered: "Please explain it to me, I don't understand."

Lu Zhizhang poured a cup of tea for Li Ye, and then said carefully: "Let me tell you this! Over the years, some unwritten rules have been formed in our unit.
Those who are ambitious will try their best to get close to the leaders, seize the opportunity to drink and chat with them, and report their work and express their loyalty intentionally or unintentionally at work.

"If the leader shows an attitude of boredom, they will turn to report to another leader and show their loyalty, because they feel uneasy if no leader appreciates them."

"."

Li Ye was really surprised.

According to Lu Zhizhang, people who are ambitious have to find someone to hold on to. It's like "either a friend or an opponent". If you don't let him hold on to someone else, he will choose another one.

Think about those leaders in your previous life who were out socializing all day long. Were they forced to drink and chat just to maintain their own small group?
The person who hugs the thigh is tired, and the thigh is also tired?
Seeing that Li Ye was silent and thoughtful, Lu Zhizhang continued, "During the days when you were away, the labor union put forward several suggestions, saying that our first branch factory has good performance and the welfare of employees should also be improved.
In addition to building primary schools and kindergartens, we will also select outstanding employees from the factory to travel to the seaside."

Li Ye understood that it was Lai Jiayi who made the move.

He said doubtfully: "It's not possible to win people's hearts with just these few benefits! Raising wages is the most important thing."

Lu Zhizhang shook his head and said, "Li Ye, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Any benefits in the unit must be in your own hands. If these proposals are passed without your nod, it proves that your power is unstable."

"Hahahaha, your power is still unstable. You are the boss, Old Lu."

Lu Zhizhang smiled lightly and did not refute. Instead, he said, "We don't have many management personnel in our first branch. If you are willing, I will come forward to organize it. Your wife doesn't have to show up. After everyone eats and drinks, they will have a tacit understanding in the future."

"."

Lu Zhizhang's meaning was very clear. The organizational structure of the first branch was simple, with not many workshop directors, section chiefs, and directors. Li Ye would set up two tables, and when the time came, Lu Zhizhang would cooperate with him and tie everyone to the same boat.

In the future, if there are any suggestions or recommendations in the unit, everyone will tacitly communicate in advance and then exclude the "outsiders".

"Then I'll trouble you, Old Lu."

Li Ye rubbed his forehead and finally nodded in agreement.

If Li Ye had followed his previous idea, the selection of cadres for a branch factory must be based on "meritocracy", and whoever is capable would be promoted.

However, some of the interpersonal relationships in the Flower Growers' family are very complicated. For example, Xiao Zhu and Pan Dachuan, colleagues who are familiar with Li Ye, might feel that Li Ye treats them as outsiders if they know that Li Ye did not invite them to the full moon banquet.

But if Li Ye invited Xiao Zhu and a few others alone, others would think that he looked down on them, especially those managers who felt they could "talk" to Li Ye. So in the adult world, sometimes one really has no control over what one does.

"Okay, that's it. Here are a few things that happened during the few days you were away."

After talking about personal matters, Lu Zhizhang started talking about business with Li Ye.

"The first thing is that the production department of the main factory discussed with us and asked us to help them purchase Laidong's diesel engines and Changbei's gearboxes. According to them, the procurement plan of the supply department is not going smoothly. They are only willing to sell 200 sets of engines and gearboxes to the main factory every month."

Of course Li Ye knew that things were not going smoothly, because the number of 200 sets was something he had agreed on with his master Lao Ding.

If he doesn't give any one, Master Lao Ding will be accused of "incompetence". Now he has 200 sets in hand, and if anyone complains, he will just say "You go ahead if you can do it."

Li Ye said: "If we don't agree to this, we won't have enough for ourselves! If we give them all to them, and then they sell them at a high price, it will seem like I sold them cheaply!"

Li Ye set a low price for the J3 model 130 in order to open up the market. When inflation occurs next year, the market will be opened up, and the price will naturally increase along with the soaring prices.

"They can't sell for a high price,"

Lu Zhizhang laughed sarcastically and said, "I've inquired about it. The main factory hasn't started to change production yet, but the destination of the 200 cars has already been decided. The ex-factory price is ten yuan higher than that set by our branch factory."

"Ten dollars more than ours?"

Li Ye was surprised. When he and Lao Ding decided on the number of 200 units, he estimated that it would just be enough to satisfy the "connected customers" at the head office.

Now the monthly output of the first branch is close to 2,000 vehicles, so 200 vehicles will not have any impact.

But in any case, he definitely did not expect the price of "ten dollars higher".

At a conference a few days ago, a group of people accused Li Ye of "being young and unaware of the cost of food, oil, salt and firewood, and selling public property at a low price", but the price suddenly increased by ten yuan, isn't that funny?
You guys are so experienced, you make ten dollars more than me per car?

Lu Zhizhang looked out the window and whispered to Li Ye, "Those two hundred cars were sold to the trading company that Guan Liang had just established."

"."

Li Ye was surprised again.

He knew that Guan Liang had set up a trading company, but he heard that he only dealt in scrap metal and fuel before. Now he even swallowed up entire trucks?
"You have quite a big appetite!"

Li Ye also smiled coldly. A profit of four hundred thousand was too much for one person to handle. He would be stuffed to death.

Lu Zhizhang also shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Let's not talk about this. There is another thing. Didn't you ask Pan Dachuan to contact the outside to purchase the 130 frame?

We have already received a response. The one in Jibei is the closest, but a factory in Dongshan got the news somehow and came to us to propose a joint venture with us."

"Joint venture? That's definitely not possible."

Li Ye rejected the joint venture proposal out of hand because throughout the 1980s and 1990s, there were almost no successful examples of joint ventures among state-owned factories. Instead, a number of private enterprises were supported.

Lu Zhizhang said: "Okay, I'll treat them to a meal this afternoon. It's not easy for them to come all the way from the city to the capital."

"Oh, where? In the city? Then I'll go with you tonight."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment and decided to meet the other party.

If it is the small factory in the original historical trajectory, then it would be very worthwhile to cooperate with it.

After all, such an open-minded local enterprise is hard to come by.
