That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 915: You’re treating me, do you want me to pay?
On January 8, 1988, the Light Automobile Company held its year-end summary meeting, and the main leaders all made summary reports that "the situation is very good."

"Our factory has set a new record this year, assembling more than 26,000 vehicles, with an output value of more than 400 million yuan. We have introduced two advanced overseas technologies, with a total investment of more than 10 million US dollars."

"Our factory has added more than 3,000 new employees this year, more than 1,000 new houses, and a total number of employees exceeding 10,000."

"Looking ahead to next year, our production base in the northern suburbs will be completed soon. By then, the scale of our factory will be further expanded, and we will become the undisputed leader in the domestic light truck industry."

"."

The leader above was speaking passionately, but Li Ye below was feeling bored. However, there were no smart phones to browse in those days, and he was sitting in the second row, so he could only sit upright and let his mind wander.

Compared to his master Lao Ding who could only guess at the unit's financial situation, Li Ye could learn more accurate facts from Ma Zhaoxian.

Although what the spokespersons said was true and basically without any exaggeration, all these growth points came from Li Ye's first branch factory.

As for the head office, the situation is actually no longer that good. Instead, it is like a skinny old man, struggling to take every step.

Li Ye never imagined that the head office's account did not even have any benefits or bonuses for the employees during the New Year.

This time, not only did they ignore the three-month payment agreement and fail to pay the suppliers, they even forgot to prepare dumplings for the workers during the Spring Festival.

After Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian discussed it, they finally decided not to urge the head office to "bankrupt", but instead advanced an extra month's profit share to allow them to spend the Spring Festival in peace and stability.

Rights are important, but pattern is also important.

The wind direction is now in favor of Ma Zhaoxian. If he is too anxious, he will end up at a disadvantage.

But Li Ye was not in a hurry, but some people were.

After the year-end summary, the head office gave instructions to the first branch regarding the newly introduced projects.

A $10 million project cannot be implemented with the existing factory buildings and workers of a branch factory, so the new project should be moved to a new production base in the northern suburbs of Beijing.

Although the production base in the northern suburbs has been planned for several years, due to the lack of funds, there is not even a shadow of it yet! What can we do to welcome the landing of the new project?
Finally, Li Ye got the exact news that the head office required a branch to take out 100 million yuan and invest it in the production base in the northern suburbs.

[You invited a table of guests, and you want me to pay for you? ]

Li Ye was so angry that he laughed. He had kindly invited them to have dumplings for the New Year, but they were still relying on him.

Therefore, Li Ye notified his young wife again and asked her to expand the factory leasing business. No matter how big the land is, it is not too big; no matter how many factories you have, they are not too many. As long as you have one, I will rent it sooner or later and ensure that it will not be idle.

As for the main factory asking, it is "better to rent than to buy"! Anyway, Li Ye will not be stupid enough to be a sucker and give a branch factory a thousand-year-old ginseng to prolong its life at one time.

Faced with a terminally ill person, even Bian Que turned around and ran away, so what could Li Ye do?

Want to eat ginseng? Do you have kidneys to sell?
. . . . . . . . .

It was February now, and there were only a few days left before the Spring Festival. The production progress of the first branch finally slowed down.

Everyone has been busy for almost a year, always working overtime to make more money. We can't not give the workers a chance to spend their money, right?
Li Ye feels more tired in the past six months than when he was in school. There are too many things to take care of and too many things to learn. He also hopes to take a good rest and relax.

"Old Lu, I'm going back to my hometown to visit my ancestors' graves during the Spring Festival. You're from Beijing, so you can arrange our shifts during the Spring Festival. You'll suffer a loss in the middle, and I'll make a profit on both ends."

"How can you call this taking advantage? Isn't this what you should do? My house is nearby, you don't have to be on duty during the Spring Festival, I'll do it for you."

Lu Zhizhang was not impressed by Li Ye's politeness and felt that he deserved it since he had worked all the shifts.

But he had no idea that Li Ye had often encountered those inhuman things in his previous life, and when you were on duty during the holidays, you would be assigned to work in the middle, making it difficult for you to return home.

"No, I still have to be on duty. At worst, I can ask for leave after the holiday! Hehe~" Li Ye smiled and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you think Lai Jiayi should still be on duty?"

During the factory holidays, the unit leaders are responsible for preventing fire, theft, and accidents. Lai Jiayi is also the leader of a branch factory, so he should be on duty, so Li Ye asked this question.

But Lu Zhizhang pouted and said, "Forget it! She is a female comrade, how can we assign her to be on duty? If something really happens, can we bear the responsibility?"

"Haha, that's right."

Li Ye nodded and agreed with Lu Zhizhang's opinion. Now both of them felt that it would be good enough if Lai Jiayi didn't cause any trouble for them, and they couldn't expect anything else.

But as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Lai Jiayi knocked on the door and came in hurriedly.

"Director Lu, Director Li, there is a family outside looking for you. They say they are the family of Guo Huai. I think something is wrong, so I took them to the conference room. You should go over and take a look!"

Li Ye was surprised and asked: "Guo Huai? Which Guo Huai?"

Lai Jiayi said, "It is said to be Guo Huai from the department."

Lu Zhizhang stood up with a sullen face: "You brought them into the factory without even asking us?"

"Then I can't stop them outside the gate! It's minus 20 degrees outside today."

Lai Jiayi's eyes flickered and she kept complaining, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Li Ye glanced at her coldly and went to the meeting room.

But when I got to the meeting room, I was surprised to see that something really didn't look right.

An old lady had a face full of anger, two half-grown children were in mourning, and several middle-aged men were smoking cigarettes, making the meeting room full of smoke.

Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang entered the conference room, and the old lady immediately asked, "Excuse me, are you Director Lu and Director Li?"

Lu Zhizhang said: "Oh, my last name is Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The old lady didn't answer. She turned around and shouted at the two children, "Come here and kowtow to the two factory directors."

The two children said nothing. They knelt down and kowtowed to Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, making a "bang bang bang" sound.

Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang quickly helped the two children up, but before they could ask any questions, the old lady started crying.

"My poor child, how could you be so cruel to leave us and go away so early? If you die on that day, even your stupid soul will never come back."

"But after you die of illness, no one will take care of the children and parents."

The two waited until the old lady finished crying, and then asked, "Old lady, Guo Huai works in the ministry, what's the matter with you coming to us?"

The old lady wiped her face of snot and tears with her sleeves, and choked up and said, "After my son died, my wife left, leaving behind only two children. My son died in Japan for the project of your factory. You can't just ignore it."

"These two children are sixteen and fourteen respectively. You have to arrange jobs for them."

Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang looked at each other and saw each other's anger and disgust.

Outsiders don't know how Secretary Guo Huai died, but how could they not know? Saying that he died of illness is to save your face!
What’s the matter? You don’t want this face anymore, right?
