"Brother Xiao Ye, then tell me, how is your management ability?"

Li Kaijian asked this sentence through gritted teeth. It was one thing for his own son not to believe in his management ability, but even his father didn't believe it.

He couldn't afford to offend his father, so he had to ask his son well.

But Li Ye said very frankly: "If it's managing an enterprise, then I'm definitely not as good as you, and I'm still quite a bit behind."

To talk about the ability to make money, Li Ye asked himself that he was very strong, very strong.

He knew where the opportunities to make money were, and he knew where to invest to make money, but to talk about management ability... he could only say he was average.

In his previous life, he only reached the level of a miserable middle-level manager and had no chance to truly take charge of an enterprise.

You can't reach the level of the number one person, so you can't truly come into contact with the various problems that the number one person needs to solve. Just relying on imagination and guessing is ultimately too far from reality.

Not to mention anything else, just "how to spend money" is a great learning.

If you don't manage the family, you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. A factory with hundreds of people is a mess of various financial expenses and interpersonal relationships. What about an enterprise with thousands or tens of thousands of people?

Thousands of people mean thousands of brains and thousands of ideas. The interpersonal experience and power interest distribution needed here cannot be learned from any MBA training class.

Li Ye didn't have this experience, nor did he have this knowledge, so if he had to manage an enterprise personally, let alone Grandfather Li Zhongfa and Mother Fu Guiru, he might really be inferior to Li Kaijian.

"You... are also humble."

Li Ye's frank admission of inferiority made Li Kaijian feel embarrassed. After all, Li Ye's ability was determined by his father Li Zhongfa.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Dad, do you know the story of Han Xin and Liu Bang?"

"Your Majesty cannot lead troops, but is good at leading generals. This is why Xin was captured by Your Majesty. Moreover, Your Majesty is heaven-sent, not human power."

Li Ye was indeed lacking in some aspects, but he understood the truth of "leading generals is better than leading troops."

I only care about putting forward ideas and requirements. Others pay one yuan in wages, I pay one yuan and eight. You just sell your life for me, don't ink, don't squeak.

A 999 gold brick "slaps" on your forehead. Just ask if you are dizzy, whether you are a world-class talent or an industry elite!

Li Ye and Li Kaijian left, and Li Zhongfa and Wu Juying were silent.

After a long time, Wu Juying said: "Or, don't handle the transfer for Aiguo?"

Li Zhongfa shook his head slowly and said: "Since she wants Aiguo to go to the Grain Bureau, then go to the Grain Bureau! Do you think she will believe you if you tell her now?"

"Hey, hello, I'm looking for Liu Muhan... I'm her classmate, my name is Lu Jingyao."

"You ask me if I miss you, why don't you ask yourself if you miss me? What date is it now? Are you really going to wait until the beginning of the month to return to Jingcheng?"

"I've been a bit busy these past few days, but I'm basically done. Don't do the house repair work these few days, I'll do it when the time comes..."

Listening to Watching Wen Leyu's coquettish reproach, Li Ye scratched his head embarrassedly.

Originally, he and Watching Wen Leyu had scheduled to stay in Qingshui County for ten or eight days before returning, and the two would complete the last little renovation project of the courtyard house on Fuyou Street together.

But after Li Kaijian listened to Li Ye's words, he pestered Li Ye for a technical improvement plan in preparation for future technology introduction.

Li Ye didn't understand chemical engineering either! He had to pull Li Dayong to record it line by line and send it to the technical team in Changbei, and then let them verify the technology to determine whether to introduce advanced production lines from overseas or to carry out technical research and assembly by themselves.

In 1965, our country's first set of urea equipment was successfully test-run at the Shanghai Wujing Chemical Plant and produced the first batch of high-efficiency fertilizer urea.

But in the 1970s, the mainland still imported a large amount of urea from Japan. At that time, everyone used urea bags to make clothes.

Jingles like "In front is Japan, behind is urea," "Big cadres, small cadres, one nylon pants each, there are black ones, there are blue ones, but there are no commune members'," all reflected the backwardness of the mainland fertilizer industry.

And who would have thought that after a few decades, the mainland's fertilizer industry would become a world leader.

"House repair doesn't need you at all, Sister Sister Xiao Yue has been helping me clean up! I'm worried that you won't be back before the end of the month. If you delay the exit procedures, I'll have been happy for nothing! My mom finally agreed to let me go out and play with you..."

Watching Wen Leyu, who was understanding, heard Li Ye's apology and comforted Li Ye carefully instead.

Li Ye also heard the little girl's expectation. She had been well protected by Teacher Ke and had never traveled alone.

"Well, it's just these two days, I guarantee it won't be delayed."

After Li Ye guaranteed repeatedly, he put down the phone.

However, just as he put it down, the phone rang again.

After Li Ye answered, it was actually Principal Chang who called.

"Li Ye! The college entrance exam scores are out, hurry up and bring your sister to see the list."

"The scores are out?" Li Ye was shocked, then asked with a smile: "Do I still need to go see the list? Can't you just tell me how many points she scored?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and come over!"

"Dududu..."

Li Ye looked at the hung-up phone and couldn't help laughing.

Listening to Principal Chang's happy energy, he knew his sister should have done well.

"Xiaojuan, come out to see the list."

"Ah? I... I... walk, walk, walk."

Li Juan was stunned for a moment, then came out of the room in a hurry. She had been anxious waiting these past few days.

The two went out and drove, arriving at the County No. 2 Middle School in a flash. From a distance, they saw Principal Chang standing by the red list, lecturing a group of students who came to see the list.

"Our school has never lacked excellent students. Students who haven't taken the exam, ask yourselves, have you studied attentively? During evening self-study, have you been waiting for the bell to ring so you can go home and sleep?"

"There are no shortcuts to doing anything. Whether it is learning or working, don't be lucky, don't be distracted. Only by treating one thing attentively can you get the best return."

Li Ye felt that Principal Chang's words were a bit familiar. After thinking carefully, he remembered that this was the speech he gave when he was admitted to Jingcheng University and was touring middle schools for reports.

"Hey, Li Juan is here. Students, move aside, move aside."

Principal Chang saw Li Ye and Li Juan and waved with a smile. Everyone immediately cleared a path.

Li Juan walked over tentatively and walked to the red achievement list.

Then, tears couldn't stop falling down her cheeks.

Her name was hanging high in the first place on the red list.

"Brother, I... I scored six hundred six points..."

Li Ye smiled and didn't speak, just rubbed Li Juan's head, which was his heartfelt congratulations to her.

This score didn't count for anything decades later, but in 1985, she could definitely shout proudly, "I am a top student."

Principal Chang also walked over and said with emotion: "Li Ye! If you were a teacher at County No. 2 Middle School, how good would that be? That way, we would have students admitted to Jingcheng University every year..."

Li Ye hurriedly said: "Principal Chang, don't say that. The reason my sister scored this score is entirely due to her own efforts, and it has nothing to do with me."

Principal Chang squinted at Li Ye for a long time before laughing lightly: "Don't tell me this kind of thing. Keep it for the report meeting to tell the students!"

"Our school hasn't had students touring for reports for three years. This time, you siblings will tell everyone about your learning experience."

"I don't have time."

Li Ye refused Principal Chang's calculation of "pulling a strong man" in one bite. He was now a person worth hundreds of thousands every minute, so where would he have the time to make reports for a bunch of hairy kids?

"Why don't you have time?"

"I want to return to Jingcheng to handle procedures and prepare for an overseas visit. I'm leaving this afternoon."

Principal Chang stared at Li Ye for a long time, and finally had to look at Li Juan: "Li Juan! Prepare well, we must do better than your brother did back then."

Li Juan looked at Li Ye eagerly. Where would she know how to make a report?

Li Ye exhaled and said: "From now on, you are a big girl, you have to learn to walk by yourself."

Li Juan's little face instantly turned into a bitter melon, tasting the troubles of growing up for the first time in her life.

Li Ye really drove away that afternoon. When he drove away, he happened to run into Big Aunt Li Mingyue. Looking at Big Aunt's black face, it was clearly because of Li Juan's college entrance exam score.

Believe me now? Too late!

Li Ye took turns driving with Li Dayong and returned to Jingcheng that night. The next morning, he originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but sister Li Yue came to the door early in the morning.

Li Ye said in surprise: "Why so early? Is there an emergency?"

Li Yue said: "It's not an emergency. I just want to discuss with you whether to let Zou Zhiguo be the sales manager first, and I'll study for a while longer?"

Li Ye was stunned and hurriedly used his hand to test his sister's forehead: "Sister, are you tired? Is there anything uncomfortable with your body?"

Li Yue patted Li Ye's hand away and blamed: "Don't think blindly, my body is fine! It's just that after taking over the channel affairs comprehensively these past two days, I always feel... I am redundant."

"Redundant?"

Li Ye thought for a moment and asked: "Sister, do you think Zou Zhiguo is more capable than you? So you are embarrassed to take the sales manager's seat?"

Li Yue said helplessly: "It's not just Zou Zhiguo, Ma Qianshan is also more capable than me. I always feel that the way others look at me is wrong, a bit guilty."

Li Ye smiled, poured a glass of water for his sister, and then said: "You don't have to think that way. When Ma Qianshan and Zou Zhiguo first started sales, they were much worse than you. That was really being forced onto the shelf, but look at them now..."

"So Sister, you don't have to feel guilty. If there is anything you don't understand, let them do it for you. It's the same if you sit in the manager's chair and learn."

In fact, in terms of personal ability, Zou Zhiguo or Ma Qianshan could both take over Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's original position.

But compared to Li Yue, they were not suitable for the current situation.

The sales network of Pengcheng Seventh Factory developed wildly in the early stages, and it was inevitable that some drawbacks would accumulate. Taking advantage of this change of boss, it was time to rectify it.

Although Li Yue had less seniority, whether it was Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, Hao Jian, or Pei Wencong, they would all come out to stand for her. If anyone under her didn't obey, she would cut them down, and no one would dare to squeak.

If this were changed to Ma Qianshan or Zou Zhiguo, they might have to argue about seniority and drag their feet, resulting in half the effort.

After Sister Li Yue was tempered layer by layer and reached a higher position, Zou Zhiguo, Ma Qianshan, and others would naturally rise with the tide.

Sister Li Yue listened to Li Ye's explanation and couldn't help asking: "Brother Xiao Ye, are we doing this... does it count as nepotism?"

Li Ye laughed and said: "Sister, this is a private enterprise. Unless you are too much of a straw bag, it is nepotism."

Li Yue blinked and didn't push back anymore. She, Li Yue, had been a person who didn't admit defeat since she was a child.

Besides, if she pushed back again, wouldn't she be admitting she was a straw bag?
