That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 965: No motivation without encouragement

On Monday, as soon as he got to work, Li Ye received a after-sales inspection report. As he read it, his brows furrowed.

The J3 130 has been on the market for a year, and the quality control has been good, but recently there have been more than a dozen engine cylinder scuffing quality accidents.

Although the vehicles with cylinder failures have basically exceeded the warranty limit of 50,000 kilometers, such frequent occurrences of problems will inevitably lead to more similar situations in the future. If not handled properly, it will be a major incident that damages the brand.

Li Ye took out the phone book and called Dongshan Laidong, which was responsible for supplying engines.

"Hello, I am Li Ye from the Beijing Light Automobile Factory. Is your manager Zhan here?
Manager Zhan, your engines have had a series of cylinder scuffing incidents this month. After analysis and testing, we determined that it was the oil pump that was at fault. Please come to Beijing immediately so we can discuss remedial measures."

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Oil pump failure? That's not covered by the warranty, right?"

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Manager Zhan, you haven't even read the report, how can you be sure that it is not covered by the warranty?"

Manager Zhan smiled and said, "Director Li, right? Don't worry, our factory has also actively participated in your company's after-sales service plan.
So we have investigated the cause of the recent engine cylinder seizure in detail. The wear and seizure of the oil pump is not caused by our quality, but by the substandard oil used by the user. "

Li Ye was so exhausted that he almost swore.

[These days, petrochemical companies are all state-owned enterprises, and there are no small factories that produce fake engine oil. Where can you blame this? ]

Li Ye let out the anger in his chest and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, you must come to Beijing immediately. Your four-cylinder diesel engine has just gained a good reputation in the market. You can't take it lightly."

Because Laidong accepted investment from Sino-Singapore Company, and the Czech engine technology it introduced was also researched and selected by Li Dayong. In total, half of the factory belongs to Li Ye's family property, so he took this quality issue seriously.

But Manager Zhan on the other side didn't know Li Ye's background, so he smiled and said, "Director Li, don't be so nervous! We came to this conclusion after a detailed investigation.

Those users who have cylinder failures generally have overloaded their cars and their oil maintenance is not professional enough. Besides, many cars have already exceeded the 50,000-kilometer warranty period."

[If they didn't need to carry more and run faster, why would they buy your 130? You are several thousand yuan more expensive than others! ]

Li Ye held the microphone and took a deep breath, then said calmly, "So you mean you don't want to come? Should you ask your general manager for instructions?"

"How could I not want to go?" Manager Zhan said with a smile, "But I really can't spare the time recently. The Yangcheng Automobile Factory wants me to go, the Shanghai Automobile Factory also wants me to go, and the Guangxi Automobile Factory is also urging me to go. I can't handle it even if I have three heads and six arms!"

"Oh~"

Li Ye chuckled and said lightly: "Since you can't handle it, you should find someone who can handle it."

"Hmm? Director Li, what do you mean by that?"

"dududu~"

Before Manager Zhan could finish his sentence, Li Ye hung up the phone.

The domineering female president is your controlling shareholder. Her husband asked you to solve a problem, but you are still making excuses and doing it?

Not to mention you as the manager in charge of market and after-sales, even your leaders have to obey.

Li Ye was about to call his young wife, but the phone rang again.

[Okay, I'll give you another chance.]

Manager Zhan of Laidong is quite capable. He has visited all the light truck manufacturers in the mainland in the past year and quickly occupied most of the light truck diesel engine market, so Li Ye plans to give him another chance.

But when Li Ye picked up the phone, it turned out that it was not Manager Zhan who called back, but his best friend and classmate Sun Xianjin.

"Hey, Brother Yi, guess which unit I was assigned to? Hahahaha~"

Hearing Sun Xianjin's laughter, Li Ye's mood improved: "Hey, you laugh so wildly, have you been assigned to the Heavenly Department to be a heavenly soldier?"

"No, no, no, no, guess hard."

"I guess you're just annoyed about work! If you have something to say, say it now!"

"Angry?"

Sun Xianjin on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Brother Yi, who are you angry about? Tell me, I will help you vent your anger."

"Fuck you, you idiot! Will you die if you don't brag?"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh and curse out loud. The fact that people from Heilongjiang Province like to pat their chests and brag about themselves only started to spread forty years later. How come Sun Xianjin in the 1980s had this problem?

He needs to be treated. However, Sun Xianjin said proudly: "Brother, I have been assigned to the Ministry of Machinery Industry. As long as the enterprises related to your automobile industry are under our management,
So if you have any trouble in your studio, tell me and I promise to help you get relief."

"Stop, stop, stop, shut up!"

Li Ye couldn't help but stop Sun Xianjin, and then said seriously: "I am naturally happy that you can be assigned to work in my head department.
But you must never bring your emotions into your work. Do you know how deep the waters of government are? If you can't comprehend the word "tolerance", you might as well study instead!"

"Hehehehe, Brother Yi, what you said is exactly the same as what my dad said. I just got assigned a job, so I'm showing off to you!"

"What a boast! For the next three years, you should behave yourself in the government. Come to my house on Sundays and I'll teach you. Studying abroad will make you stupid."

"Hehehe, okay, okay, when the time comes, I'll ask the squad leader to go with me? The squad leader is so ashamed of what happened yesterday. A good party was ruined by Lao Jiang. And he wanted to chase our squad leader with that kind of attitude."

"Okay, my first piece of advice is to not make long private calls during work hours. Be careful of people reporting you."

"It's okay. There's no one in the office. Brother, do you really not need my help with that annoying problem at work?"

"I asked your sister-in-law for help. She is in charge of this matter."

"Well! Why didn't you tell me earlier? With my sister-in-law here to help, why would I have to embarrass myself?"

"."

Sun Xianjin chatted with Li Ye for a long time before hanging up the phone.

During the two years in the Soviet Union, this guy had the opportunity to visit and study in many large-scale machinery enterprises in the Soviet Union. The heavy industry of the Soviet Union was once extremely glorious, but at this moment it is also facing arduous difficulties.
Therefore, Sun Xianjin was assigned to the Ministry of Machinery Industry, perhaps to learn from lessons and experience and launch reforms in the mainland machinery industry, or perhaps to meet the needs of both sides to carry out technical exchanges.

Li Ye called Wen Leyu and told him directly about the engine seizure.

Wen Leyu listened to Li Ye quietly and then asked, "Do you think they have grown too powerful and don't respect you as their mentor?"

"No, Xiaoyu, I'm afraid they will fall to the ground and die before their wings are strong enough."

"."

Laidong is a small-scale diesel engine factory that can only produce light diesel engines. Even though it has received orders from Liaoning Jinbei, Tianjin Yanpai, and many companies in the south, it does not yet have the development potential that Weichai will have in the future.

Weichai originally belonged to Sinotruk, but after it grew stronger, it obeyed orders instead of propaganda. Finally, after a series of developments and operations, it counterattacked and established its own position.

But look at Manager Zhan’s attitude towards product quality issues. What development potential does he have?
Let’s not talk about the fact that the J3 type 130 from the first branch helped Laidong’s products open up the market. They should repay the kindness of being a mentor and they cannot go against their will just because the purchase price from the first branch is the lowest.

Product quality is the lifeblood of the machinery industry. When problems arise, instead of discussing improvements immediately, the first thing they do is to shirk responsibility. They can only tolerate small details. How can you expect such a person to run a good company?
After listening to Li Ye's explanation, Wen Leyu said softly, "I understand. I'll ask their marketing manager's assistant to come to Beijing immediately. You can take a look at him and let me know if he's okay."

"Okay, you look at the arrangements."

After Wen Leyu invested in Laidong, the top person in charge was naturally a confidant of the Wen family, and he could make the decision on even the smallest matters.

But Li Ye felt a little tired. Working in the industry was indeed complicated and involved a lot of trouble. Anyone who could make a business big was not a simple person.

"Ling ring ring~"

Two hours later, the phone rang again.

This time it was Manager Zhan who called, but his tone had completely changed at this moment.

"Director Li, hello, hello. It's like this. You just told me about the engine cylinder seizure. I immediately gathered the information for research. Can you tell me when it would be a good time for me to visit you?"

Li Ye asked curiously: "Did your unit arrange for you to solve this matter?"

Manager Zhan smiled and said, "Our unit is responsible for this matter, but it is my responsibility."

Li Ye said with a smile: "I am not your leader, I cannot arrange your work, just obey the assignment of your unit"

"dududu~"

Li Ye hung up the phone.

I believe that Manager Zhan on the opposite side must have a bitter look on his face at this moment.

Moreover, after this incident, Laidong will change its opinion of Li Ye and will not treat him with disdain just because the purchase price of the first branch is the lowest.

[Alas, these people! Without encouragement, there is no motivation. It seems that we need to create some sense of pressure from competition for them. ]
