Chapter 649

"This small-displacement four-cylinder diesel engine is a product of Czechoslovakia and is the mainstream configuration on several best-selling tractors in Europe.

I see that the technical indicators meet all the requirements given by my brother, so I consulted about it..."

"This headlight production line is from Spain. They are willing to transfer the whole set, but we feel that a similar technology from Italy is more advanced, but their asking price is a bit high, not as enthusiastic as the Spanish company..."

Watching Wen Leyu attached great importance to the task Li Ye assigned to her, taking the information and looking at it item by item, while Pei Wenhui also fully cooperated, constantly explaining to Watching Wen Leyu.

While talking, Watching Wen Leyu suddenly asked: "Liu Xiaohui, are these technical projects you investigated at the first-class level overseas today?"

"."

Pei Wenhui smiled awkwardly and shook her head slowly.

And Li Dayong, who had finished a bottle of beer, also asked Li Ye with some confusion: "Brother, I have a question I don't quite understand.

Why did you want Liu Xiaohui and me to investigate so many second-rate technologies this time? We are spending money anyway, why not buy first-class technology?"

Watching Wen Leyu and Pei Wenhui also looked over, clearly also a bit confused.

In this technology introduction, Li Dayong's Changbei Machinery Company will definitely be one of the carrying units, so he also attaches great importance to it, but after communicating with Li Ye several times, he always feels a bit awkward.

"First, time waits for no one. Second, it conforms to national conditions,"

Li Ye stretched out two fingers and said indifferently: "Of course I want first-class technology, but they may not be willing to transfer it as a whole.

Even if they are willing to transfer, will we be slaughtered? Even if we are not slaughtered, when can we digest the technology? After digesting it, can we control the cost?"

"."

Seeing that Pei Wenhui and others didn't quite understand, Li Ye said bluntly: "When we introduce technology, we must first have them 'guarantee teaching and guarantee learning.' We absolutely cannot let people hold us, and it must be fast."

"Second, we must also consider the economic situation in our interior and create high-quality and inexpensive products. If high quality and low price cannot be achieved, then prioritize the latter."

"."

Li Dayong was silent for a long time and nodded silently.

He had been "interning" at the Changbei Machinery Factory since his sophomore year, and his grassroots experience was several times richer than any student who had just graduated, so he naturally understood what Li Ye meant.

Who doesn't want to use good things? But there's no way, it's poor!

The industrial sewing machines produced by the Changbei Machinery Company can't beat the most advanced products from Japan now, but they are cheap!

If you catch up without considering the cost at all, you can narrow the distance with the world's advanced level, but the cost will be so high that the market cannot bear it.

And Watching Wen Leyu and Pei Wenhui were slower than Li Dayong.

Pei Wenhui grew up in Hong Kong and couldn't understand the poverty in the interior. Watching Wen Leyu was a child who had suffered, but she hadn't really worked in a production unit and hadn't been in contact with the market, so she couldn't understand the real needs of the market.

Li Ye sighed and continued: "Actually, the new car our factory is about to finalize was originally going to be a copy of Isuzu, but in the end, it only copied the cab and other small parts because the cost was too high.

If you adopt Isuzu's production technology across the board, the ex-factory price might be two to three times higher. Do you think the market can accept it?"

"."

After the country introduced Isuzu light truck technology, three light truck manufacturing enterprises obtained the qualification to absorb the technology, but in the end, only the Jiangxi Automobile Manufacturing Factory adopted Isuzu technology across the board.

Its performance is very good, but the price is also very high. Buying one is not a lie; only wealthy units can afford it.

Later, the Jingcheng Light Auto Company also thought about producing a "high-end series," replacing the engine of the Jingcheng 1041 with an Isuzu engine, but in the end, it didn't form a production scale. A car is ten thousand yuan more expensive. Where can ordinary people bear it?

So, talking about technology away from cost and talking about advancement away from the market is all nonsense.

For example, the four-cylinder diesel engine that Li Dayong dislikes has low speed and loud noise, and cannot be compared with Isuzu's high-speed diesel engine.

But given the current road conditions in the interior, do you need a light truck with a top speed of 140?

Don't talk about 140. If it can run to 90 in an hour, the drivers will be very fond of it, and the brigade secretary will want to go up and sit.

The 212 jeep only runs 80! What else do you want from a truck?

So! When everyone has no money in their pockets, you should focus on simplicity and reliability. Air conditioning, shock absorption, and zero-to-hundred acceleration are all unimportant.

Wait until everyone is rich, then let's discuss comfort, luxury, and face!

After Pei Wenhui and Li Dayong left, Watching Wen Leyu looked at the information for a long time and was urged by Li Ye several times before she went to bed and hugged Li Ye to sleep.

After the pre-sleep exercise, Li Ye criticized with dissatisfaction: "We must emphasize one point! Work is work, life is life.

Your attitude today is very incorrect, and your family work is not hard enough. If it affects the family because of the technology introduction, then let's stop doing it early."

"I didn't not work hard..."

Watching Wen Leyu blushed and panted, spat at Li Ye, and then said: "If all the technologies you listed are introduced, then at least ten companies need to be invested in.

Trusting me so much, I must take it seriously! If there is a mistake, the loss is not one hundred thousand or eighty thousand. Selling me is not enough to pay for it?"

"Nonsense! Who dares to sell you? Except for me, who can afford it?"

Li Ye gave Watching Wen Leyu a light flick on the forehead and then said firmly: "As long as you hand over the information to professional people, they will handle it for you. In the future, you should 'grasp the big and let go of the small,' grasp the financial power, and let them go and do the rest with peace of mind."

Watching Wen Leyu arched her little head into Li Ye's arms and then said: "Tomorrow I will let them collect information on interior enterprises, and then you help me ponder which one is suitable to invest in."

"Hmm, I'll help you take a look when the time comes, but you still have to listen to other opinions. After all, every factory has its difficulties and advantages. We are actually laymen and it's hard to be comprehensive, but as long as you can maintain deterrence, they can't play any tricks."

Li Ye investing in a whole automotive manufacturing industry chain in 1986 really can't do without the Zhongxin Company.

Even if he has plenty of money, how many technical workers does a machinery manufacturing factory need, from engineers to workshop directors to section chiefs and team leaders?

This is not decades later, where you post a recruitment advertisement one day and thousands of technical school students and vocational high school students line up at the company door the next day, filling ten or eight production lines in minutes.

In this day and age, those who can understand mechanical drawings are talents, and those who can correctly understand processing technology are treasures.

But in those state-owned enterprises that are in trouble due to economic transformation, this whole set is ready-made.

As long as Watching Wen Leyu invests in advanced technology, a large amount of funds, plus strict management and powerful deterrence, there is an 80% chance of making them reborn.

And more importantly, Li Ye goes to talk about investment himself, and people won't sell it to you.

Finally tossed to the point of not working, I want to buy it myself? You, an individual business owner, want to buy my factory?

You're beautiful!

But letting Watching Wen Leyu's unit talk about conditions, not only is there no problem morally, but it can also clearly divide the responsibilities. After the investment, the other party will not go back on their word, bringing workers to block the door and the workshop, letting the investor roll away in a sorry state and lose everything.

"Fine, I'll listen to you."

"What do you mean listen to me?"

Li Ye smiled and rubbed Watching Wen Leyu's hair, then said: "You have to learn to make your own decisions in the future. We are not afraid of paying tuition fees. If you lose a thousand or eight million, your man, I, won't feel distressed at all, because the speed at which you lose money can't keep up with the speed at which I make money."

"But there is one point you must pay attention to!"

Li Ye put away his smile and said seriously: "You must keep a distance from the kind of people Sister-in-law talked about today."

"The money we invest cannot fall into the pockets of individuals. It must fall on the factory's technology, equipment renewal, and the improvement of workers' welfare."

"Our primary purpose is to make the factory more competitive in the market economy, make our industry more developed, and make workers' wages higher and houses bigger. As for making money, that's a secondary matter. Do you understand?"

"."

Watching Wen Leyu lay beside Li Ye, raised her neck and looked at Li Ye for a long time, and then burst into laughter.

"No wonder those uncles and grandfathers praise you! You are really like them in some places. You all have ideals."

"."

Li Ye was lost in thought.

【Am I like them? I'm greedy, sleepy, and lustful. At most, I only touch one point—not greedy for money.】

Li Ye asked himself, he absolutely couldn't compare with the generation of his grandfather. He could never do it to sacrifice his life for an ideal.

He just makes money too easily and doesn't care about money, so he pays more attention to ethereal and elusive things like "ideals."
