Chapter 736: Indispensable
"Alright, the monkey is finished, hurry up and eat."
Although sister Li Yue brought her son over to relieve Wen Leyu's "childbirth pressure," she had long since prepared dinner. After her son finished watching TV, she called for them to eat quickly.
After starting the meal, Li Yue asked Li Ye at the table: "How is your work recently? Just now I was talking to Xiao Yu about you, worrying that your stinky temper wouldn't be able to handle the monsters and ghosts in the unit."
Li Yue knew that her younger brother had a bad temper and also knew the various ways of state-owned enterprises, so she asked this out of concern.
"What monsters and ghosts can block my old Li's stick?"
Li Ye said with a smile: "There are indeed a few annoying guys in the unit, but I use force to overcome ten meetings!"
"Today, COFCO has already sent an order over, and sister-in-law also contacted the procurement plan for the postal system. As long as our First Branch is booming, they can only stare."
There were many people in the Light Auto Company waiting to see Li Ye's jokes and repeatedly tripped him up, thinking that the young Li Ye would fall under various power struggles.
But they didn't understand at all that with the support of sufficient funds, technology, and market, those dark means that couldn't be brought to the table were not worth mentioning. As long as Li Ye achieved sufficiently dazzling results, all the monsters and ghosts would have to give way to him.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that Fenghua Clothing also needs light trucks."
Sister Li Yue was reminded by Li Ye and immediately said: "Tomorrow I will let the channel statistics take a look and see if I can scrape together an order of a few hundred vehicles for you to fully support your work."
Li Ye said with a smile: "Don't join in the fun. Our factory's production tasks are already scheduled for half a year later."
"Then wouldn't it be better if they were scheduled for a year later?"
Li Yue put down her chopsticks unhappily and scolded Li Ye: "What's the matter? I helped you and I'm in the wrong? I'm not spending your money indiscriminately. Fenghua Clothing needs to expand, so it naturally needs to purchase trucks..."
"Wait, wait, wait, sister, don't be anxious yet."
Li Ye hurriedly cut off Li Yue's words and explained: "Our First Branch has limited production capacity now. If the production tasks are scheduled too much, the main factory will definitely come to demand them..."
"But I have a big plan next that needs your help, sister. The mainland's automotive industry doesn't attach enough importance to the after-sales network, so I plan to let Dayong take the lead first, and later you and Xiao Yu can see how to expand the after-sales network..."
Changbei Machinery Company had after-sales networks in prefecture-level cities, but in terms of the popularity of channel networks, the Fenghua sales network that sister Li Yue controlled now covered a wider area.
It's just that in this day and age, there was no "which technical school is strong" like the Mou Xiang Technical School, and auto mechanics hadn't been laid off yet, so auto repair talent was very scarce.
So it was still necessary for Li Dayong to take the lead, and various parts factories to cooperate, first training a batch of mechanics before large-scale expansion.
Before this, sister Li Yue and Wen Leyu could also find suitable locations first and settle the land issue. In the future, they wouldn't have to pay rent to landlords when opening 4S shops.
Different times, different opportunities. Renting is not as good as buying, and buying is not as good as renting; each has its pros and cons.
After Li Ye finished speaking, Li Yue was thinking and hadn't spoken yet, but Fu Yiruo asked Li Ye: "Brother, is the concept you mentioned the 4S car service shop model that Ford just piloted in Europe?"
Li Ye replied: "Some are similar, but there are also differences. Our unit doesn't have the strength of Ford, so we can only realize 4S services in the form of cooperation for now."
The concept of 4S car shops was first created by Ford in Europe in the mid-to-late 1980s, integrating four functions: whole vehicle sales, spare parts supply, after-sales service, and information feedback.
And 4S shops landing in the mainland was a matter after 1999. The reason was not only the backwardness of service awareness, but also because 4S shops are controlled by car enterprises, which requires enterprises to have strong strength.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Fu Yiruo smiled to show she understood, and then found that Li Juan was staring at her.
Why stare? Because Fu Yiruo called Li Ye "brother"!
So Fu Yiruo asked directly: "Yang Xiaojuan, do you have something to say to me?"
Li Juan was stunned for a moment and said nervously: "No... nothing."
Sister Li Yue realized something and asked Li Juan: "Yang Xiaojuan, how did you bump into your brother today?"
Li Juan hesitated, opened her mouth, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "My mother gave birth today, and then sent me a telegram... asking big brother to name the younger brother, so I went to big brother's unit to find him..."
"..."
Li Yue looked at Li Juan in surprise, and then looked at Li Ye, Fu Yiruo, and Wen Leyu.
Li Ye was definitely not strange, while Fu Yiruo and Wen Leyu were both slightly stunned.
For a moment, no one spoke in the dining room.
Li Juan bit her lip, looking firmly at her brother, sister, sister-in-law, and Fu Yiruo, whom she didn't know what to call, like a gambler who had revealed her cards, waiting for the final result.
Li Juan knew very well that sister Li Yue actually didn't like Han Chunmei much, and Fu Yiruo didn't need to be mentioned.
Even sister-in-law Wen Leyu might feel disgusted because her mother-in-law "over-gave birth."
Things had reached this point, and whether this male descendant of the Li family could be accepted by everyone needed a result.
When in Hong Kong, sister Li Ying actually discussed with Li Juan that if an accident happened, the two sisters would have to take on the cultivation of this younger brother alone.
So now, the silent atmosphere in the living room made Li Juan extremely nervous.
"Younger brother, younger brother, younger brother~, giggle giggle~"
In the midst of the silence, Xiao Dun'er's milky voice suddenly rang out.
The little baby giggled and repeated the word "younger brother" over and over again.
Fu Yiruo suddenly smiled.
She pulled Xiao Dun'er's hand and said gently: "Xiao Dun'er, you called it wrong. You should call your mother's younger brother 'little uncle'!"
Li Juan's tears flowed down instantly.
She actually didn't worry about Li Ye, because this brother Li Ye was kind.
She didn't worry about Wen Leyu either, because Wen Leyu listened to everything big brother Li Ye said.
As for Li Yue, it didn't matter, because she was "spilled water."
So what Li Juan really worried about was actually Fu Yiruo and Fu Guiru.
But now it seems that she and Xiao Yu seemed to have used the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman.
Li Juan wiped her tears and said to Li Ye with a smile: "Brother, give younger brother a name! Mother is waiting for me to reply to her!"
"Is it that urgent?"
"Yes, it's quite urgent."
Li Juan nodded again, indicating it was really urgent.
Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Actually, you found the wrong person to name him. In terms of naming, your sister-in-law and eldest brother-in-law are both better than me."
"Look at Xiao Dun'er's big name, Yang Zhenglin, political harmony, rain and sweet dew. Look at Le Yu, optimistic and open-minded, determined and unwavering..."
"..."
Li Juan was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
Eldest brother-in-law was from the Central Selection Department, and Wen Leyu's name was given by Teacher Ke. If Teacher Ke could name the younger brother...
Li Juan shook her head and still said firmly to Li Ye: "Mother said, for naming, it must be you."
"Must be me?"
"Yes, because you are the eldest son of the family."
Alright! Han Chunmei had been in Hong Kong for a few months and successfully learned some traditional bad habits.
Similarly, she also confirmed Li Ye's status as the first person in the family, as well as her son's position.
This child was born to be a follower for his big brother. ===== CHAPTER 737 =====
