That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 967 The Smell of Gunpowder
"First of all, I would like to thank all the leaders. With our collective efforts, we have indeed made great progress in production technology, and proved that we have great production potential to be tapped, but we must also recognize our own objective shortcomings."

"For example, our investment in technology is far lower than that of world-class companies. This year, the investment in technology of the first branch accounted for 3.8% of the total revenue, with a total of more than 8.6 million yuan, but it is still far below the excellent standards of similar international industries."

There was no boasting in Li Ye's speech, it was just a steady and accurate statement, but it made those people in the department take it seriously.

These people have been listening to reports all their lives. Compared with the empty slogans of big factory directors, Li Ye's real data is more likely to arouse their interest.

"In addition, our service awareness in after-sales service also lags behind the times. Just a few days ago, a branch received more than a dozen after-sales reports that Laidong's light diesel engines had quality problems such as poor lubrication after about 60,000 kilometers.
Although most of these problems occur outside the 50,000-kilometer warranty, which is considered good quality in China, and it is the responsibility of the engine manufacturer, can we just ignore it?"

"Just yesterday, Laidong's technicians rushed to our first branch and worked with our technicians overnight to study solutions. They have been working non-stop for 26 hours, hoping to resolve this quality crisis as soon as possible."

"."

"In our machinery manufacturing industry, the foundation is technology and quality. If the quality is defective, it will be eliminated by the market. If the technology is backward, it will also be eliminated by the market."

"Over the past 40 years, well-known overseas automakers have replaced their products every eight to ten years, and in recent years, the period has been rapidly shortened.

"If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Our 1041 is born at the right time, so we will gradually stop production of the J3 130 within a year, and while switching to 1041, we will explore the design direction of the next generation of light trucks."

"."

The factory director suddenly turned around and looked at Li Ye, his face terribly gloomy.

Who gave you the right? Who promised you that? Are you not satisfied with the two projects you imported from Japan? Are you going to compete with the main factory for food?
Nowadays, the majority of the products produced by both the main factory and the first branch are 103, but the J3 type 130 produced by the first branch is almost killing the J2 type 130 produced by the main factory. The main factory loses money for every J2 type 130 sold.

We had been hoping that the main factory had finally solved the production capacity problem of 1041 and were preparing to make a big splash to gain both fame and fortune, but it turned out that one of the branch factories was actually preparing to fully switch to the production of 1041?
If a branch factory grabs the production rights of 1041, will we still be able to catch our breath and recover?
But at this moment, in front of the leaders of the department, the factory director could not interrupt Li Ye's speech, because Li Ye's branch factory obviously has higher production efficiency, but you don't let them produce new products. What is your intention?
Therefore, things like this can only be discussed behind closed doors, and not let outsiders see the joke.

So after entertaining the guests, the factory director convened a D committee meeting in an extremely intense atmosphere.

Unfortunately, Li Ye was not a member of the D Committee of the unit and had no chance to visit the site. It was not until the next morning that he met the tired Lu Zhizhang and learned about the situation on the site from him.

"We argued until midnight yesterday, and in the end, we voted by show of hands and were only given a production quota of 3,000 vehicles per year."

Li Ye poured a glass of water for Lu Zhizhang and said jokingly, "Your throat sounds hoarse. Did you have a debate with the scholars yesterday?"

Lu Zhizhang smiled bitterly and said, "I am just a committee member. Even if I shout my throat out, I can only help to build momentum. In the end, it was Deputy Manager Ma who almost broke off relations with those people. Otherwise, they would not even acknowledge the three thousand vehicles."

When the factory director talked with Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang on New Year's Eve, his implication was that Li Ye would help the main factory with technical research and the two sides would share technology.

But in state-owned units, anything can be invalidated at any time without the approval of the D Committee.

The standing committee of the D committee of a state-owned enterprise usually consists of 5 to 7 people, and large enterprises do not exceed 9 people. No matter how powerful Ma Zhaoxian is, he cannot defeat the team that the factory director has cultivated over the years.

This is also the reason why many people criticize the serious internal friction in large enterprises.

A man worked hard and had superb martial arts skills, but he was beaten to death by a group of people using their turtle fists. No matter how hard they fought head-on, they could not defeat them.

But Li Ye said calmly: "Don't worry, after a few months, let alone our production quota, it is not impossible for you to become a member of the Standing Committee."

"."

Lu Zhizhang's eyes widened immediately and he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to cut off their dividends?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "The dividend cut is just the final blow. I heard that the main factory has been seeking loans recently."

Lu Zhizhang said: "I know this. It was difficult for the main factory to obtain loans before, but by taking advantage of the opportunity of expanding production with new models, there should be a chance to obtain new loans."

Li Ye smiled and shook his head: "But what if the bank knew the true financial situation of our factory? Who would dare to lend to them?" "."

The main factory has been in financial difficulties since last year and has been unable to obtain loans, so it has been borrowing profit dividends from the branch factory to get by.

If Li Ye had been more radical, he would have cut off their food rations long ago.

But if that really happens, someone will definitely come down from the department to "adjust" the situation. After all, no one wants their subordinate unit to fail.

Therefore, Li Ye has been letting the head factory "drink poison to quench thirst", slowly feeding the appetites of people like Da Guan Liang, waiting for the best opportunity.

Lu Zhizhang took a breath and said, "How did the bank know?"

Li Ye smiled sinisterly and did not explain, but Lu Zhizhang could guess from Li Ye's expression that it was him who did it.

Li Ye's teacher is Zhang Qiyan! There are many seniors like Peng Rui in the banking system. Is it difficult to spread a true news?

This kind of thing is most afraid of being made public. No matter how good your relationship is, when inside information is flying everywhere, who dares to take the responsibility?
[How dare you lend them money? Don’t you know they are struggling to make ends meet? ]

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye still overestimated the financial situation of the head office. It only took a few months, but problems arose after half a month.

In order to appear prosperous to impress the superiors, the main factory consumed all the raw materials at once and produced a large and neatly arranged array of cars.

After the people from higher-ups and the bank had finished checking them, the batch of cars was handed over to the trading company of Guan Liang and others for sale.

Normally, at this time of soaring prices, the money for this batch of cars should have been collected very quickly, but Guan Liang and others still followed the usual practice and collected the money slowly and sporadically.

Anyway, as long as the bank loan is approved, nothing will be delayed.

As a result, the bank loan could not be approved and the workers' wages were delayed again.

"You know what? The main factory originally wanted to take advantage of the increased production of new models to apply for a loan from the bank again, but regardless of whether the bank is willing to do so, the loan interest rates have risen like crazy in the past two months."

"Hong Kong investors are willing to increase their investment, but the main factory is adamant that they will not give in. It's as if they will sell our factory if we hand over the controlling stake.

But forget it! They are not afraid of the Hong Kong side selling it, they are afraid that they have nothing to sell. They have almost sold out their family assets of several decades. Look at Guan Liang, it’s been less than a year and he has bought a new car. It seems to be a Mercedes-Benz, and they said it costs 500,000 or 600,000 yuan.”

At this juncture, the first branch began to cry poor, citing reasons such as "researching new engines" and "budget overruns for new projects", and completely cut off the profit dividends of the branch.

Lu Zhizhang found Li Ye and said solemnly, "There will be an enlarged meeting of the D Committee this afternoon. You are required to attend. I heard that someone from the department will also be coming."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Come on! There's nothing dirty under your butt, why are you so nervous?"

Lu Zhizhang was stunned, as if he smelled the smoke of a "war".

"Sigh~"

Lu Zhizhang took a breath and pretended to be terrified: "I received several cartons of cigarettes a few days ago! Do I need to clean them up quickly?"

Li Ye hit him and scolded him with a smile: "That's a must, quickly give me two and I'll help you destroy the body."

"Hahahaha~"
