That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 826: Your appetite is bigger than that of a tiger?

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang left work early and prepared to meet the guests coming from Dongshan.

"Li Ye, I have already made an appointment with Director Wang who is stationed in the city. Let's go there half an hour early. Even if the negotiation fails, we can't let him wait for us or he will think we are looking down on him."

Li Ye nodded and said, "That makes sense. When a host invites guests to dinner, it doesn't make sense for them to arrive first."

Lu Zhizhang asked again: "Do you think we should ask two people to drink with us? I heard that people in Dongshan can drink a lot."

"Well, you're right."

Li Ye smiled and said, "I am from Dongshan, I can drink a lot."

"."

Li Ye was indeed a good drinker. When they arrived at the agreed restaurant, he immediately had three drinks with Deputy Factory Director Wang Jinyu sitting opposite him. His sincerity made the other person's face red.

Wang Jinyu wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I have heard that Deputy Director Li is also from Dongshan. I never had the chance to meet him before. Today, I saw him and he was really friendly. He was really friendly. Hahahaha~"

When most people meet Li Ye at the dinner table, they will praise Li Ye as "young and promising", but Wang Jinyu cannot do so because he is not very old either, and like Li Ye, he is a young man in his twenties.

"If you're friendly, then drink a few more glasses. When I heard that you were from Dongshan, I hurried over to entertain you. I must treat you well and give you good food and drinks."

Li Ye picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour more wine for Wang Jinyu, but was stopped by Wang Jinyu.

"No, no, Deputy Director Li is very strong. I can't handle it anymore. Let me take it easy. Let me take it easy."

Li Ye glanced at Wang Jinyu and asked with a smile: "Don't be so hasty to call yourself my younger brother. When were you born?"

Wang Jinyu took the bottle and said, "I was born in 1963, and my zodiac sign is rabbit."

Li Ye raised his eyebrows: "Then it's the same as mine, I'm in the first month of the year!"

Wang Jinyu was slightly stunned. He just thought Li Ye was young and called himself that with a flattering heart, but he really didn't expect that Li Ye was only a few months older than him.

In his hometown in the city, he, a 24-year-old deputy factory director, was a rarity, but here in the capital, there were people who were even more courageous than him.

"Then I have to call you big brother. I have to give you a toast."

Wang Jinyu didn't care about the churning in his stomach at this moment. He immediately poured himself a glass of wine and was about to complete the brotherhood stage with Li Ye.

Li Ye hurriedly stopped him, fearing that he would drink too quickly and damage his stomach.

"Don't worry, don't worry, drink slowly. I want you to enjoy yourself tonight. Let's talk for a while. How did you find our company?"

"Well, that's a child without a mother. It's a long story."

Wang Jinyu sighed and said, "After I graduated from university in 1981, I started working at the motor vehicle manufacturing plant in our county. Although the company has been doing well in the past two years, I also understand that a factory without technology cannot go far."

"So after I started working in the technical field at my supervisory unit, I began to seek technical cooperation everywhere. We visited universities in Dongshan, Hunan Province, and even FAW and Second FAW. However..."

Wang Jinyu paused, then said helplessly and ashamedly, "But the big companies have high standards and look down on our small state-owned enterprise. To be honest with you, Brother Li, I don't know how many times I have been rejected for my efforts in the past six months."

"."

Li Ye was a little surprised by Wang Jinyu's very honest complaint.

People who are always on the go are very particular about their face, but Wang Jinyu actually told Li Ye, whom he met for the first time, about his miserable life and sadness. It has to be said that he seemed to be "unconventional".

Li Ye did not look down on this "little brother" who encountered setbacks everywhere. This guy must be a great guy.

He was born in 1963 like Li Ye, but Li Ye was admitted to Peking University in 1982, while he graduated from university in 1981. Can you calculate how old he was when he went to university?
In this day and age, he is definitely a child of destiny.

Wang Jinyu's life is also legendary. A year later, he became the head of the Zhucheng Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Plant. Then, in just a few years, he turned this small factory with only a few hundred workers into the number one in the same industry in the country.

Moreover, when he was only 100 years old, he launched a big satellite, allocated resources to the whole society, and organized domestic legal entities to jointly invest in the establishment of cross-regional, cross-industry, and cross-ownership joint-stock companies, claiming that - Hundreds of Enterprises Create a Land of Blessings.

Li Ye thought about what he was doing when he was 33 years old in his previous life. Then he thought about this life. Even if he was a cheater, it was not easy to achieve this at the age of 33.

There are too many variables and difficulties. However, Li Ye did not dare to underestimate Wang Jinyu, but Lu Zhizhang disagreed. He was a department-level cadre in a large state-owned factory in Beijing. Looking at Wang Jinyu in the mountain valley, he could not see the golden light.

So he smiled and said, "Hey, Deputy Director Wang is also a college student! Our Deputy Director Li is also a college student! Which university did you graduate from?"

Wang Jinyu quickly replied, "I'm from Dalian University of Technology in Liaoning Province."

Lu Zhizhang suddenly realized, "He's from Dagong! I know, our deputy director Li is from Beijing University."

"Kyoto University?"

Wang Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "The one in Yuanmingyuan?"

Lu Zhizhang said: "That's right! There is no other school that dares to call itself Jingda, right?"

"Tsk~"

Wang Jinyu smacked his lips with admiration and said to Li Ye enviously: "Before I was admitted to university, I always thought I was the best in academics.

It was only when I went out that I realized that there were always people better than me. After I started working, I realized that there were always people better than me. For example, our factory had been using Lai Chai diesel engines before, which were so difficult to use.
As a result, they introduced an advanced overseas production line, which transformed them in an instant. It was through them that we learned that the Light Automobile Company has strong technical strength, so we came to seek help."

Hearing Wang Jinyu's straightforward request for help, Li Ye did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "So, Brother Wang, what is your factory's main product now? What kind of help do you want?"

"Our factory currently mainly produces 'Mingfei' brand four-wheeled small trucks, but our technical foundation is weak and our product sales are average. We see that your improved 130 has a very good market response, so we want to learn from your experience through a joint venture."

Wang Jinyu was honest and told Li Ye that he wanted to form a joint venture and learn from experience. This is also the way many small state-owned enterprises and small collectives are doing nowadays.
First find a big factory, and then a mainland enterprise. I need your help, brother. Let’s contribute to the country together.

If this approach is put into practice decades later, it would be like a drunk man dreaming about marrying a wife, but it was very popular in the 1980s. Several automobile factories in northern Hebei did this.

When the younger brother becomes successful, it is good for him to turn around and not recognize his elder brother. However, there are many who turn around and squeeze the elder brother to death.

Lu Zhizhang was very clear about this situation. He asked calmly, "Director Wang, you produce four-wheeled trucks? Are you talking about agricultural vehicles?"

"Oh yeah, but a four-wheeled farm vehicle."

Wang Jinyu was a little embarrassed, because at that time regular automobile factories looked down on agricultural vehicles. "The cart doesn't look like a cart, and the tractor doesn't look like a tractor" was everyone's impression of agricultural vehicles at the time.

In fact, the predecessor of Wang Jinyu's unit was indeed a small factory that manufactured tractors. It's just that the agricultural vehicles made by Wang Jinyu now are different from those made by other factories. The agricultural vehicles made by other factories are three-wheeled, while their manufacturing plant makes four-wheeled ones, which also laid the foundation for them to make cars in the future.

Li Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Wang, how many people are there in your factory? How many are front-line workers in the workshop? How many are managers sitting in the office?"

Wang Jinyu didn't understand what Li Ye meant by this question, but he still answered: "Our factory has a total of 490 employees, including nearly 400 workers and nearly 100 managers."

Li Ye nodded slowly: "That's not bad."

"Not bad? What's not bad?"

"."

Not only Wang Jinyu, but also Lu Zhizhang was a little confused after hearing what Li Ye said.

Li Ye said bluntly: "Brother Wang, you want to seek technical support, we are willing to do so, but the joint venture method is not acceptable."

Wang Jinyu was surprised and said, "Brother Li, what you mean is that you want the technology transfer fee. You tell me how much I want for the transfer fee! I promise not to talk back."

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said very calmly: "We don't want a transfer fee. As long as your unit is merged into our first branch, we will provide free technical support. I promise that you can make the best similar products in the country."

"."

Wang Jinyu stared at Li Ye blankly and didn't say anything for a long time.

[So we want to ask for help, but you want to take us down with you! ]

[You look like a decent person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but how come your appetite is bigger than that tiger's? ]
