That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 980 I'll Kill You

Li Ye soon met Niu Hongzhang.

On the first day Niu Hongzhang came to the Light Automobile Company, he convened a D Committee meeting. Because Li Ye had been transferred to the D Committee, he had the honor of meeting this paratrooper.

He is about fifty years old, wearing a half-new, half-old Zhongshan suit. There is no smile on his rectangular face, and he looks very serious.

"I just arrived and I am not familiar with most of my colleagues, but this does not prevent us from having a common goal, which is to complete the tasks assigned to the country and the work of the unit.

Although there were some problems in the unit some time ago, I believe that most people are still fine."

It was a very normal opening statement, very consistent with the other party's identity and responsibilities, so it left a good impression on everyone.

In Li Ye's opinion, there is nothing wrong with him even if he likes to speak at length. Correcting people's thoughts is their job. If thoughts cannot be expressed with the mouth, why should they be expressed with the hands?

However, in the next five minutes, Niu Hongzhang showed his ability. He did not give a long speech, but instead made several simple ideological requirements for several major departments of the Light Automobile Company. He was very serious and professional.

Li Ye also thought it was no big deal, as long as he didn't interfere in production matters, then he could do whatever he wanted.

The situation now is different from before. Ma Zhaoxian has a formal identity and is the undisputed head of production management. Unlike before when the factory director was in power, even if he wanted to fight back, he had to face the unfavorable situation of "a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death."

Now! We have our own division of labor. You say yours and I do mine. If you have any ideas, I won't listen to you.

And Niu Hongzhang really has some ideas.

"I used to work in a steel plant, which is similar to our automobile plant, so I have some experience in production that I can share with you. There is always someone I can learn from! It's all for the development of the unit.
Comrade Li Ye, can you please report to me the recent production plan of your first branch?"

Report? You used that word really well!
Li Ye had predicted this situation in advance, but he didn't expect it to come true.

Ma Zhaoxian is Wen Qingsheng's man, and Li Ye has close relations with the Hong Kong side. So as the controlling shareholder, he is still unwilling to completely give up such a thriving factory with tens of thousands of employees.

Niu Hongzhang's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact he confused the boundaries.

Li Ye raised his eyebrows, wondering how to respond.

But Ma Zhaoxian spoke up: "Comrade Hong Zhang, today we are the D Committee, so let's not discuss production matters for now!"

Niu Hongzhang said sternly: "Comrade Xiao Ma, the D Committee is responsible for controlling the general direction of production. Why can't we discuss production matters?"

The call of "Comrade Xiao Ma" made Ma Zhaoxian frown.

He is a few years younger than Niu Hongzhang, and his past experience and level are also a little inferior, but now everyone is equal, so who do you think is Xiao Ma?
Li Ye saw that the two big brothers were about to clash at the first meeting, so he decided to resolve the situation.

Otherwise, Niu Hongzhang would have reportedly said that Ma Zhaoxian "did not value unity", which would have had some impact on Ma Zhaoxian's title of acting general manager.

"Secretary Niu, the first branch has been in a mess since last year. I wonder what aspect of production you want to know?"

Niu Hongzhang looked at Li Ye and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that the first branch spent a huge amount of money to introduce two advanced production lines from Japan. I want to know the details, when they can be put into production, and what is the expected profit after production."

You asked a lot!
Li Ye made a "helpless" expression and said helplessly: "It's hard for me to say, because since the incident at the main factory, the borrower who lent us foreign exchange has signed a confidentiality agreement with us, not allowing any information related to the two new projects to be leaked."

"What are you talking about?" Niu Hongzhang frowned. "I just want to know the specific production situation of the first branch. How does it involve the confidentiality agreement? Even if we are a military factory, I have the right to know the overall situation."

Li Ye waited until Niu Hongzhang finished speaking before he said calmly, "Because a few days ago, the factory director wanted to mortgage the production line of a branch factory.

The progress of the production line is directly related to the amount of loan that can be obtained, so the borrower is very dissatisfied.
If the other party withdraws the loan early, we will collapse immediately, and I really cannot bear this responsibility."

Niu Hongzhang: “.”

What is serious nonsense?

You clearly know that I'm talking nonsense, but you just can't find any fault with it and you can't do anything to me.

Niu Hongzhang was very upset because he felt that Li Ye was deliberately trying to seduce him and intimidate him.

He knew that being a paratrooper was not an easy job, but since his superiors had talked to him and asked him to come here to correct the ideological errors in the unit, he had to do his job well.

He had been very restrained and did not use his imperial power to put pressure on others right away. He just wanted to understand the production situation of the unit, but he encountered such strong resistance.

What? You all want me to be like a clay Buddha in a temple, staring at a few plates of offerings without saying a word?

A good company has such a serious problem as embezzlement of state-owned assets. You won't let me intervene?
[You're just dreaming. Why don't you ask me what I did before? ]

People with strong abilities naturally have corresponding arrogance and temper. Niu Hongzhang has dealt with many people in the big steel plant and has seen all kinds of powerful monsters. How could he bow his head in front of a little kid like Li Ye?
The first battle of a paratrooper after landing is very important. You can’t be too tough, but you also can’t be too timid, otherwise no one will take you seriously in the future.

Some paratroopers will even deliberately create small conflicts to test their authority at the first opportunity!
Therefore, Niu Hongzhang was not rebuked by Li Ye, but said with a smile: "Then Comrade Li Ye will report to you on the development of Isuzu engines!
As far as I know, this research is a collaboration between the main factory and your branch factory. It has nothing to do with that overseas borrower, right?"

Li Ye nodded slowly and said, "We did take over the imitation work of the 4JB series engines from the main factory, and we have invested more than technicians in the research.
After half a year of analysis and research, we have determined a preliminary imitation plan, and we expect to produce a prototype within a year and put it into mass production within two to three years."

When Li Ye said these things, he habitually extended the estimated time a little bit, for example, the prototype was about to be trial-produced, and the results could be produced in half a year at most, and it would probably take less than two years for mass production to be put on the market.

Because in his previous life, Li Ye had experienced several "unreasonable" leaders. No matter how reasonable you were when reporting your results, they would squeeze your progress. You said eighteen days, he would give you fifteen days. You said fifteen days, he would change it to twelve days. They were even more ruthless than Zhou Baopi.

It was only after Li Ye finished speaking that I realized that this was the 1980s and state-owned enterprises were not sweatshops for capitalists.

But just as Li Ye finished speaking, Niu Hongzhang shouted and stunned Li Ye.

"No, two or three years is too long. It has been four years since the country introduced the technology in 1984. How come you are still standing still? There is not even a prototype in sight?
The country has spent so much foreign exchange to introduce technology, and you haven't made any progress in four years? And then you bite off more than you can chew and introduce two more projects? "

Li Ye quickly interrupted, "I need to explain this. We only took over the engine development this spring."

Niu Hongzhang waved his hand and said without allowing any argument: "Don't talk about objective reasons. I have already confirmed that Gan Province introduced the technology at the same time as you did. Now that the products have been produced, you must carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship and fatigue, overcome difficulties, and catch up with or even surpass Gan Province within half a year."

Li Ye looked at the serious and powerful Niu Hongzhang, and suddenly he seemed to be integrated into some war films of the period.

[I don't want casualty figures, I just want XX. If you can't take the hilltop within two hours, I'll kill you!]

How come you are more ruthless than the bosses before me~
