Chapter 872: Do You Know How to Give Gifts?
Early the next morning, Li Ye entered Lu Zhizhang's office, and the two began to "plot".
"Lao Lu, we must grow stronger as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid the big tree will fall too fast and hit us, and we won't be able to bear it."
Lu Zhizhang rubbed his bloodshot eyes and said in a deep voice: "I thought about it for a long time last night. Judging from the results we have made now, we really can't guarantee that we will win the main factory."
Li Ye said in surprise: "Oh, why are you so frank? Didn't you always speak in roundabout ways before?"
Lu Zhizhang smiled meaningfully at Li Ye and said, "Then didn't I meet a god like you?"
"."
Li Ye never told Lu Zhizhang that he would use the first branch factory as the basis to realize his intention of annexing the main factory.
But today, Lu Zhizhang spoke up for him.
Li Ye must be a key training target for some people. Now the first branch factory has also made achievements and made a substantial profit.
But in the eyes of some people, these results are at best an improvement on the old 130, old wine in a new bottle.
Therefore, the first branch factory must make great strides forward and achieve more outstanding results in order to convince people.
"Our current production capacity has reached 2,500 units per month. Give us another half year and our output will exceed that of the main factory. However, with the growth of raw materials, our profits may decrease."
Lu Zhizhang took out a stack of forms and talked about the existing production capacity of the first branch factory. Then he raised his head and asked Li Ye: "Do you have any new plans?"
Li Ye nodded and said: "I originally wanted to strive to produce a new type of 1041, but now it seems that it is impossible in the short term, so we will start a new project ourselves."
Lu Zhizhang's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Is what you said last time about introducing new overseas models true?"
At first, people from the vehicle factory in the city came to Li Ye to discuss a joint venture. Li Ye proposed the idea of introducing new overseas models. Later, there was no word from the vehicle factory in the city, so Lu Zhizhang thought it was all over!
Li Ye spread his hands and said, "Why isn't it true? Lao Lu, you should be more open-minded and hold on to old products conservatively all day long. At most, you can only make ends meet. There won't be any big future. "
"I know, I know, so I just said you are a god!"
Lu Zhizhang rubbed his hands excitedly, and then asked Li Ye: "Then what series of cars do you plan to introduce?
Now we have the Lighthouse Cherokee in Beijing, the West German Santana is introduced in Shanghai, and the French Emblem 505 is introduced in Yangcheng. Should we introduce British or Japanese cars? I think the Crown car is good, how about?"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop it first!"
Li Ye quickly pressed down on Lu Zhizhang and said in a dumbfounded voice: "What are you thinking, old Lu? It's not like you don't know how complicated a car is. The introduction of a car production line is a national-level project. We are just a truck branch. You are not a snake swallowing an elephant, you are a toad eating the sky.”
"."
Lu Zhizhang was stunned and smiled awkwardly: "I'm not just imagining things, I'm just happy!"
As recently as the 1980s, the mainland did not have any production and supporting capabilities for modern cars. If you wanted to introduce an advanced car like the Crown, the number of supporting technologies and equipment that needed to be imported was astronomical.
Even if Li Ye's money comes easily, even if he is willing to spend money, when this kind of enterprise is launched, can Lu Zhizhang, a division-level cadre, be the general manager?
Not to mention Li Ye, you are twenty-five or six years old and have been working for one or two years. How can you lead a group of veterans who are three, four, five or six levels higher than you?
Lu Zhizhang smacked his lips and asked in a down-to-earth manner: "So Li Ye, what car do you plan to introduce?"
Li Yedao: "I heard that there is a light truck overseas that is very suitable for our rural environment in the mainland. I plan to take a look."
"Light truck?" Lu Zhizhang asked quickly: "Will it conflict with the Isuzu cars we introduced? If there is a conflict, then it will probably be a useless effort."
"No, it's much smaller than our 1041."
Li Ye made a gesture with his hand, and then Lu Zhizhang was disappointed.
"Li Ye, I finally understand why you hooked up with Factory Director Wang who is stationed in the city. You want to make agricultural vehicles! What else are you importing? Just let the masters of our factory modify them themselves!"
When Li Ye saw Lu Zhizhang's disappointed look, he knew that he, like many car people nowadays, despised agricultural vehicles and mini-cars, and even thought it was easy to rub one by hand.
But if it was really that easy, would mainland car people still need to immerse themselves in catching up for forty years?
There are only so many parts in the chassis of a car, but when running on a bumpy road, some are loose and scattered, as if they are about to fly out when the steering wheel is moved, but some are solid and tight, and the direction can be accurately pointed where to hit.
This is actually a gap in design, technology, experience, and craftsmanship.
Li Ye is also willing to believe that mainland industrialists can slowly develop qualified mini trucks through collective research. But he couldn't wait that long, so he decided to import it from overseas first, then conduct reverse research, get a thorough understanding of the prototype car, and finally accumulate and form his own research and development capabilities.
This is also the choice of many automobile companies in the mainland at this time, but many people have failed and many people have been calculated.
In the course of decades of development, there have been at least dozens of new car brands put into production in the mainland. Unfortunately, so many short-lived "hopes" did not even leave a punctuation mark in the end.
Li Ye knows history, so he knows which car will shine in the mainland.
First, he will master the mini truck, and then Li Ye will try to copy the epoch-making national god car.
"Knock knock knock~"
When Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were discussing whether to import the prototype car from Japan or Dengta, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Ding Jiuchang, the son of Master Lao Ding, walked in, then took out a thick envelope with a smirk and placed it in front of Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang.
"Puchi~"
Lu Zhizhang laughed.
Li Ye looked at the envelope speechlessly, then looked at Ding Jiuchang. After a long time, he asked strangely: "Brother, are you here to give a gift? There are two of us here! You just give an envelope. Are you offering a bribe?"
Ding Jiuchang smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Director Lu, Director Li, this money is not mine. I met Director Wang and a few others when I got off work yesterday.
They stopped me and stuffed this bag of money into me, saying that they wanted to make friends, and asked me to help arrange a meeting with you."
Li Ye's face calmed down and asked: "So you took it?"
Ding Jiuchang hurriedly said: "They threw the money from the car and ran away. I really had no choice but to hug them and sleep all night. I came to hand it in today."
When he heard Ding Jiuchang say "hand it in", Li Ye's face eased a little.
"It's still right to hand it over to the government, but brother, next time he throws money to you, throw it on the ground and leave, don't take it again."
"Hey, hey, hey, I know, they are all stinky shit, I will scold them next time I see them"
"."
After Ding Jiuchang left, Li Ye pushed the thick envelope to Lu Zhizhang.
"Hey, you are familiar with this kind of thing, you can decide what to do!"
Lu Zhizhang glanced at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Are you testing me?"
Li Ye asked back: "Why, you can't stand the test?"
Lu Zhizhang weighed the envelope and threw it on the table.
"My salary and bonus this month add up to more than 500 yuan, and there will definitely be more in the future. They are wrong to use sugar-coated bullets to defeat me."
"Fuck, what if I give you 5 million in the future?"
"."
Lu Zhizhang's eyes widened, and he pursed his lips and said: "If you bribe me with 5 million, what level do I have to be? At that level, do I still need money?"
"."
Now it was Li Ye's turn to not know how to respond.
There are so many tigers in the future, and their levels are not low. Why do they want both?
