That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 966: Not only capable, but also good at bragging?

One day in mid-July, colorful flags were flying at the entrance of the fourth assembly workshop of the Light Automobile Company, and gongs and drums were beating. A row of sky-blue new light trucks slowly drove out of the production line.

There are big red flowers tied in front of these cabs, just like the big red flowers used by brides and grooms in ancient times when they worshiped each other in the hall, which makes people feel festive.

When several reporters at the scene raised their cameras, hundreds of workers at the scene clapped almost on time, in an orderly and enthusiastic manner, which perfectly matched the newly painted slogans on the wall, such as "Prosperity, Strength" and so on.

Everyone at the scene seemed very excited, except for Li Ye, who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, staring at the large banner at the entrance of the workshop in a daze.

"Warmly celebrate the successful roll-off of the 1,000th new light truck"

Li Ye didn't quite understand. It had been a year and a half since the last celebration party for the successful trial production of 1041, and only a total of one thousand vehicles had been produced, an average of only a few dozen per month. What was there to celebrate?
But they still celebrated it, and it was a grand celebration. Even people from the department were invited to watch the ceremony, and they reported their outstanding achievements to their superiors in a serious manner.

"Director Li, why don't you go to the front?"

Li Ye was in a trance when he suddenly heard someone talking to him.

Looking sideways, I found that it was Huang Mengjia, a college student who had just been assigned here this year.

Perhaps because the shortage of young people in ministries and government agencies has eased, college graduates from 1988 are no longer as "super valuable" as they were in previous years.

This year, Li Ye did not deliberately tell Teacher Ke that there was a "talent shortage" here, but six college students were still assigned to the factory, three of whom stayed in the main factory and the other three were assigned to a branch factory.

It’s just that all three people in the main factory are girls, and Huang Mengjia is the only girl assigned from the branch factory. So as soon as she arrived at the branch factory, she was treated as a group favorite by a bunch of bachelors, and her popularity was extremely high.

There's really nothing we can do about it. Who asked Li Ye to focus on technology and recruit a group of technical men?
Moreover, Huang Mengjia has a pretty face, a good figure, and is well-educated. She is definitely a beautiful woman worth pursuing.

It's a pity that Huang Mengjia appears to be friendly on the outside but is actually cold and indifferent on the inside. In just one week, several technicians gave up on her job. However, no one who has come into contact with her has said anything bad about her, and she doesn't offend anyone.

Li Ye smiled and said to Huang Mengjia: "You can see that there are so many people in front of me. I can't squeeze through!"

Huang Mengjia smoothed the hair by her ears and said with a smile: "Director, you are too modest. If you push forward, who would dare not give way to you?"

"."

[This Huang Mengjia really has a high EQ. ]

Li Ye had read Huang Mengjia's file. He actively participated in activities when he was in school, served as vice president of the student union, and received many awards and certificates. It was a pity that he was not assigned to a government agency.

Li Ye laughed and said, "I don't like to squeeze with others. Even if they give way to me, I will still feel unhappy."

"."

Huang Mengjia was stunned, and carefully savored Li Ye's words. She felt that he seemed to be pretending to be cool, but also seemed to have seen through the world.

Someone came to the department today, and all the managers squeezed to the front, hoping to show their faces in front of those people who are usually out of reach. As long as they leave a little impression, it may be an opportunity for future success.

But Li Ye, the undisputed first contributor to the major improvement in the production process of the new model, stood quietly outside the crowd.

Doesn't he know how to get promoted?

It's impossible. Even Huang Mengjia, the vice president of the student union, understands this principle. How could Li Ye not understand it?

He has jumped two levels in just two years of work!

[Why is it that men like this are always overtaken by others? ]

Huang Mengjia is really sorry.

Why did she look down on so many technicians in the first branch? Because she had her own pursuits, and she had a standard for what she wanted to be.

Over the years, Huang Mengjia has only seen a few people who were very close to being the Prince Charming, but she always felt like she was missing something.

Until she saw Li Ye. Li Ye was only two years older than Huang Mengjia. Not only did he have all the material conditions a girl expected, but his appearance, conversation and literary talent were outstanding, and he was also from Beijing University.

Why is there such a big gap between people of the same age?

So when Huang Mengjia saw Li Ye standing in silence outside the crowd, she came over to remind him.

According to her previous experience, this kind of tactful and well-intentioned reminder is the easiest way to bring two people closer together. At school, no matter whether it is a teacher or a student, they will definitely be in a good mood and laugh when they are talked to by Huang Mengjia in this way.

But who knew that Li Ye was such a weird guy who didn't appreciate it at all. Could it be that he didn't know that even good wine needs a bush?

But Huang Mengjia soon found out why Li Ye didn't get close to those big shots, because Li Ye was gold and would definitely shine in the end.

After the car rolling off the production line ceremony, of course a "praise" report meeting was held. A row of big names sat on the stage, and outsiders could not squeeze in next to them at all.

Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were arranged to sit in the middle of the first row, face to face with those big shots at a distance of about ten meters.

So, can those people who laugh and squeeze to the front become familiar faces?
Don't be funny, these are some insignificant benefits in daily work, the boss may give them to you casually if he is happy.

However, when it comes to levels above the department level, it always depends on one's own strength and whether one can bring benefits to those in higher positions.

Can you rise to the top just by talking sweetly? Jiu Qian Sui also has a way to make money!
Unless you can be sweet-mouthed next to a pillow, that is another skill. Long legs and yoga classes are magical attacks and do not obey the laws of scientific physics.

After the meeting started, the factory director spoke first. He had a ruddy complexion, was in high spirits, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice with great style.

There were newspaper reporters taking pictures in the audience! Style is important.

"After unremitting efforts, we have overcome 17 technical difficulties. The production line has reached the world's advanced level. The monthly output of a single production line exceeds 500 vehicles, and the estimated annual output per capita exceeds 6.5 vehicles."

"I believe that by this time next year, we will set a new record and become the first modern enterprise in the mainland to produce more than 100,000 vehicles per year."

The factory manager has reason to be proud, because according to this per capita output estimate, the annual output of the total factory will exceed 40,000 vehicles, breaking the historical highest level.
If we add the more than 20,000 vehicles currently produced by the first branch factory and the two new projects that are about to be put into production, it seems that 100,000 vehicles is a matter of course, and it is no doubt that the company will become the leader in the mainland light truck industry.

But Li Ye knew how much water this estimate had.

This new 1041 assembly line has people working on it, producing vehicles per month. Comprehensive calculations show that the average annual output per person is - vehicles. If you multiply that by the total factory workforce of more than , vehicles is probably not enough!
But the problem is that all the people on this production line are production workers, but half of the more than 6,000 employees in the main factory are not on the production line.

Would you let those idle people in the warehouse who eat half a pound of sunflower seeds a day build 6.5 cars by hand?

But listening to the waves of applause from the audience and the satisfied smiles of several bigwigs on the stage, Li Ye had to admit that among all the professions, bragging is a profound art.

[As a manager, you must not only be competent, but also force yourself to be able to brag? ]

Li Ye thought back to the successful entrepreneurs decades later. Those with excellent eloquence included Jack Ma, Lei Jun, and the bankrupt Jiyue Automobile. If they couldn't brag, how could they have attracted the first pot of gold from investment?

Fortunately, industrialists like Mr. Ren were able to point Li Ye in the right direction.

“Now, Comrade Li Ye will take the stage to tell everyone about our experience in technology improvement and management during the process of capacity expansion.”

Ever since the factory director talked with Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang on New Year's Eve, Li Ye has become the coordinator to help the main factory expand its capacity and production, so he must go on stage and show his face today, otherwise Ma Zhaoxian will not be willing to do so.

The first branch factory contributed manpower and effort to help the main factory sort out the entire production process. Do you want to climb up the roof and remove the ladder after crossing the river and destroy the bridge? You are dreaming!
As Li Ye went on stage, several reporters with cameras started taking pictures, "click, click, click" as if the film was free.

The factory director narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ye, then applauded along with everyone else.

But no one knew that he was actually cursing in his heart: "A manager like you who only cares about production and doesn't know how to brag has no future.
If you didn't have someone behind you, would you be able to stand on the stage and give a speech?

I will send you on an official mission today and won’t even let you show your face.”
