That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 870 They are smarter than us!
The rumor that Li Ye was going to be promoted only lasted a few days before disappearing.

Because first, hundreds of core workers from the first branch jointly submitted a letter of protest to the main factory, refusing to allow the good development momentum of the first branch to be destroyed.

Then someone from the ministry came to ask in person, if Li Ye was moved, who would be sent to replace his job, and whether they dared to issue a military order to guarantee that the branch factory would get better and better?
Since its establishment, the first branch has only received 200,000 yuan in financial support from the main factory. However, it has now become the company's cash cow and provided generous treatment and benefits to more than 2,000 employees. Can this really be achieved simply by changing the management methods?
Management methods are certainly useful, but the key is still people.

Just look at the bidding meeting of the main factory and you will know that if Li Ye is replaced, will the bank demand debt repayment, will suppliers stop supplying, and will the workers' wages be cut?
No one dares to make this guarantee.

No one dared to bear the anger of the superiors and workers after failure.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Lai Jiayi from the labor union knocked on Li Ye's office door, then pushed it open and walked in: "Deputy Director Li, are you busy?"

Li Ye didn't even stop writing, and said casually, "I'm not too busy. Sister Lai, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Lai Jiayi dragged a chair to sit opposite Li Ye, then asked in a low voice: "The head office called and said that the department knew about the workers' joint protest letter, so they wanted to find out whether this incident was deliberately organized by someone."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Workers organized a joint letter. For such a matter, you should ask your union for information, right? What do you want to ask me for information?"

Lai Jiayi said helplessly, "It was arranged to me, so I was anxious! If you say that the workers are given a spontaneous action, the higher-ups will express doubts, but if you say that it was organized by someone, who is organizing it?"

Li Ye stopped writing, slowly put it down, then looked at Lai Jiayi and said, "Who do you think is organizing this? Are you doubting me?"

Protests by "the inferior overthrowing the superior" are a taboo in collective management. If it was organized by Li Ye, then he will never be promoted in the future.

Apparently, there was no unanimous opinion in the department. Some people hoped that Li Ye would blaze a new trail, while others hoped that Li Ye would obey the arrangements unconditionally.

"I know that! Oh, the people above are really unreasonable. It's not like the past. If workers have opinions and submit proposals, there's no need to make a big deal out of it, right?"

Facing Li Ye's sharp eyes, Lai Jiayi, who prided herself on her profound knowledge, felt uncomfortable all over and had to excuse herself by blaming the above.

[You don't know? The higher-ups are really blind to let you be in charge of the union.]

The workers of the first branch factory have been receiving high wages for more than half a year. The new dormitory building of the factory has also been scheduled, and the land acquisition project has begun. A group of bachelors without houses are looking forward to getting a new building and marrying a wife! Now they are going to transfer Li Ye back to the main factory?

Is it still necessary for someone to organize a protest?

Do you really think that the workers are fools who can be fooled at will?

Li Ye glanced at Lai Jiayi coldly, then said in a deep voice: "Sister Lai, some things are actually very simple, but people think about them too complicatedly.

You are in charge of the union work. If you go among the workers more often and take a look, you may understand why the workers would sign a joint protest.”

"."

Lai Jiayi's face turned very ugly.

Li Ye is accusing her of being out of touch with the masses!
As a union leader, you don't even go among the workers. Are you mocking me for being incompetent?

"Hey, I came to you, Director Li, to learn about the situation first. I will go and talk to some worker representatives later."

Lai Jiayi chatted for a while as if nothing had happened, then suddenly smiled and said, "But Deputy Director Li, the workers' commotion has delayed your promotion! Aren't you angry at all?"

"Promotion?"

Li Ye smiled faintly: "At my age, what kind of promotion can I get?"

Lai Jiayi sighed and said, "At least give you a promotion. A 25-year-old deputy director is not without precedent!"

"Ha~"

Li Ye smiled.

Lai Jiayi is only one level higher than Li Ye, but can she compete with Li Ye, who has real power?

What’s the point of giving you a nominal position where you have no say?

Can it make you take the blame better?
. . . . . . . .

Zheng Jiemin took the blame.

The failure of the bidding made a group of managers at the head office extremely dissatisfied. They held several meetings in succession to study and discuss the issue. It ended with Zheng Jiemin publicly reviewing the matter and then "making up for his crime with merit".

For the second bidding meeting, the head office required Li Ye to participate.

One day before the bidding meeting, Li Ye was "invited" by his master Lao Ding to the supply department of the main factory. Zheng Jiemin, with a sullen face, handed Li Ye a thick stack of information: "Li Ye, take a look at these bidding standards, is there anything inappropriate?"

But Li Ye didn't take it at all. Instead, he threw an even thicker stack of information to Zheng Jiemin.

"I can't give you an opinion on whether it's suitable or not. After all, my experience only comes from one branch, so I can only provide you with the purchasing requirements of the first branch for your reference."

Zheng Jiemin's face turned even darker.

He wanted to drag Li Ye into the water, but Li Ye turned around and poured a basin of water on him.

Anyway, my experience is all here. If you want to copy it, then copy it. If you don’t want to copy it, then forget it.

However, Wu Qingyi took the information provided by Li Ye and said calmly: "Then let's carefully select qualified suppliers based on the information provided by Deputy Director Li!"

"."

An hour later, Master Lao Ding took Li Ye to the warehouse to check the supply samples sent by the bidding companies.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Ye asked, "Master, I think Zheng Jiemin's plan this time is not much different from last time! Last time everyone failed to bid, so will it be successful this time?"

Lao Ding whispered, "Why do you think the bid failed last time?"

Li Ye shook his head and said doubtfully: "I have carefully analyzed it these two days. It shouldn't be the case. Although the purchase price set by the general factory has been lowered and the quality requirements have been improved, the payment cycle has also been shortened.
Everyone is having a hard time right now, cash flow is very important, only with money in hand can we have confidence, and those suppliers should be able to accept it."

Old Ding said calmly: "All the bids failed the first time, so shouldn't we raise the price the second time?"

Li Ye said helplessly: "According to what you said, the final purchase price won't be much cheaper? At most, the quality requirements of the accessories will be improved, right?"

Old Ding smiled, picked up a stamped part and handed it to Li Ye.

"You're missing the point. Look at this. What's the difference between this and the quality of Jibei Forging Plant No. 3?"

Li Ye was puzzled. He took it and looked at it carefully, but felt that there was nothing unusual.

It’s just a stamping part. As long as the materials are not fake, how can there be any difference?

But Lao Ding explained: "This is a bidding sample sent by a company called Xinchang Auto Parts Factory. I have never heard of this company before."

Li Ye frowned, still a little confused.

But Lao Ding stretched out his finger and pointed to a mark on the stamping part.

"The product of the Third Forging Plant is exactly the same as this. This is the product of the Third Forging Plant."

"."

Because of the mold, stamping parts will have irregular marks left. Each mold mark is different, just like two leaves cannot be exactly the same.

So an old guy like Lao Ding, who has worked in the supply department all his life, can see the problem at a glance.

Li Ye was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Master, do you mean this is a shell company?"

Lao Ding nodded and said, "Not only am I sure that it is a shell company, but I am also sure that when the bidding starts tomorrow, Jibei Forging Plant No. 3 will continue to fail to win the bid, and only he will win the bid."

"."

Li Ye looked at Lao Ding and smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Master, it seems that they are smarter than us!"

"Of course not, we are helping others count money!"

Guan Liang set up a trading company and sucked blood from the Light Automobile Company. So wouldn’t others do the same thing?

The previous failed bid was actually a careful preparation for the second bid.

The price will not be lower and the quality will remain the same as before, but I don’t know who will get the profit.

This is a chaotic era. Whoever is smart can become rich overnight, and whoever can accumulate capital first can eventually soar to the sky.
