Chapter 801: Others Are Smarter Than Us!

The rumor that Li Ye was going to be "promoted" disappeared after only a few days.

Because first, hundreds of worker backbones from the No. 1 branch factory jointly submitted a protest letter to the main factory, not allowing the destruction of the good development momentum of the No. 1 branch factory.

Then the ministry also personally sent people to inquire. If Li Ye was moved, who would be sent to take over his work, and who would dare to sign a military order to guarantee that the No. 1 branch factory would get better and better?

From its creation to now, the No. 1 branch factory had only received 200,000 in capital support from the main factory, but now it had become the company's cash cow and provided generous treatment and benefits for more than 2,000 employees. Was this really just achievable by changing management methods?

Management methods are definitely useful, but the key is people.

Look at the bidding meeting at the main factory; if Li Ye was replaced, would the bank urge debt? Would suppliers cut off supply? Would the workers' treatment be cut?

No one dared to make this guarantee.

And no one dared to bear the anger of the superiors and workers after failure.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Lai Jiayi from the labor union knocked on Li Ye's office door and then pushed it open: "Deputy Factory Director Li, busy?"

Li Ye didn't even stop his pen and said casually: "Not really busy. Sister Lai, do you have something for me?"

Lai Jiayi dragged her chair to sit opposite Li Ye and then asked in a low voice: "The main factory called, saying the ministry knew about the workers' joint protest letter, so they want to understand if this matter was deliberately organized by someone."

Li Ye was stunned and asked in confusion: "Workers organizing a joint protest, this kind of thing should be handled by your labor union, right? Why ask me?"

Lai Jiayi said helplessly: "It was arranged to me, so I'm anxious! You say if I define it as a spontaneous act of the workers, the superiors express doubt, but if I say it was organized by someone, who is organizing it?"

A protest of "subordinates against superiors" is a taboo for collective management. If it was organized by Li Ye, then don't even think about promotion in the future.

Obviously, the ministry's opinions were not unified. Some people hoped Li Ye would walk a new path, and some hoped Li Ye would unconditionally obey the arrangements.

"I don't know! Sigh, the people above are really... now it's not the previous years. Workers have opinions and submit a proposal, it doesn't need to be raised to the level of principle, right?"

Facing Li Ye's sharp eyes, Lai Jiayi, who claimed to have deep cultivation, also felt uncomfortable all over, so she had to use the way of complaining about the superiors to excuse herself.

【You don't know? Then the people above let you be responsible for the labor union, they were really blind.】

The workers of the No. 1 branch factory had been receiving high wages for more than half a year, and the schedule for the new dormitory building in the factory had also been determined. The land requisition project had started, and a group of single men without houses were looking forward to distributing new buildings to marry wives! Now they actually wanted to transfer Li Ye back to the main factory?

Just for this, does it still need someone to organize a protest?

Could it be that you really think workers are fools who can be fooled at will?

Li Ye glanced at Lai Jiayi coldly and said in a deep voice: "Some things are actually very simple, it's people who consider them too complicated.

You are responsible for labor union work. Usually, go among the workers more to walk and see, maybe you can understand why the workers would do something like a joint protest."

"..."

Lai Jiayi's face became very ugly.

Li Ye was accusing her of being detached from the masses!

A person in charge of the labor union doesn't go among the worker group; are you satirizing me for being incompetent?

"Heh, I'm not just coming to Factory Director Li to understand the situation first? I'll go find a few worker representatives to talk later..."

Lai Jiayi chatted a few words as if nothing happened, and then suddenly smiled and said: "But Deputy Factory Director Li, the workers making such a fuss delayed your promotion! Aren't you angry at all?"

"Promotion?"

Li Ye smiled faintly: "At my age, what promotion can they give me?"

Lai Jiayi clicked her tongue and said: "At least promote you by one level. A deputy-division-level cadre at twenty-five, it's not like there's no precedent!"

"Heh~"

Li Ye smiled.

Lai Jiayi was one level higher than Li Ye, but can she compare to Li Ye, a real-power section-level cadre?

What's the use of giving you a virtual position that doesn't count?

Can it let you take the blame better?

Zheng Jiemin took the blame.

The failure of the bidding meeting made the group of managers at the main factory extremely dissatisfied. They held several meetings to study and discuss, and finally ended with Zheng Jiemin's public self-criticism and then "making amends for his crimes."

And for the second bidding meeting, the main factory required Li Ye to participate.

The day before the bidding meeting, Li Ye was "invited" to the supply section of the main factory by his master, Old Ding.

Zheng Jiemin, with a dark face, gave Li Ye a thick stack of materials: "Li Ye, look at these bidding standards, is there anything inappropriate?"

But Li Ye didn't take it at all, but threw a thicker stack of materials to Zheng Jiemin instead.

"Appropriate or not, I can't give an opinion. After all, my experience only comes from the No. 1 branch factory, so I can only provide the procurement requirements of the No. 1 branch factory for your reference."

Zheng Jiemin's face was darker.

He wanted to pull Li Ye into the water, but Li Ye poured a basin of water back on him.

Anyway, my experience is all here. If you are willing to copy, copy it. If you don't want to, forget it.

However, Wu Qingyi took the materials Li Ye provided and said faintly: "Then let's carefully select qualified supply units according to the materials provided by Deputy Factory Director Li!"

"..."

An hour later, Master Old Ding led Li Ye to the warehouse to check the supply samples sent by the bidding units.

Seeing no one around, Li Ye asked: "Master, I see Zheng Jiemin's plan this time is not much different from the last time! Everyone abandoned the bid last time, can it succeed this time?"

Old Ding said in a low voice: "Why do you think it was abandoned last time?"

Li Ye shook his head and asked in confusion: "I analyzed it carefully these two days. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Although the procurement price set by the main factory has been lowered and the quality requirements have been raised, the payment cycle has also been shortened.

Now everyone's days are not good, cash flow is very important, having money in hand gives confidence, those supply units should be able to accept it, right?"

Old Ding said faintly: "It was all abandoned the first time, shouldn't we raise the price for them the second time?"

Li Ye said helplessly: "According to what you said, then the final procurement price won't be much cheaper? At most, it's just improving the quality requirements of the accessories, right?"

Old Ding smiled, picked up a stamping part, and handed it to Li Ye.

"You didn't hit the point. Look at this, what is the difference from the quality of the Hebei Forging No. 3 Factory?"

Li Ye was puzzled, took it over and looked at it carefully, feeling nothing unusual.

Just a stamping part, as long as the material is not fake, how different can it be?

But Old Ding explained: "This is a bidding sample sent by a unit called Xinchang Auto Parts Factory. I have never heard of this unit before."

Li Ye frowned, still a bit uncomprehending.

But Old Ding stretched out his finger and pointed to a trace on the stamping part.

"The product of Forging No. 3 Factory is exactly the same as this. This is the goods of Forging No. 3 Factory."

"..."

Because of the mold, stamping parts will have irregular traces left, and the traces of each mold are not the same, just like no two leaves are exactly the same.

So old guys like Old Ding who have been in the supply section for a lifetime can see the problem at a glance.

Li Ye was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice: "Master, you mean, this is a shell company?"

Old Ding nodded and said: "I am not only sure it is a shell company, but also sure that when bidding tomorrow, Hebei Forging No. 3 Factory will continue to abandon the bid, and only it can win the bid."

"..."

Li Ye looked at Old Ding and revealed a bitter smile helplessly.

"Master, it seems others are smarter than us!"

"That goes without saying, you and I are helping others count money!"

Guan Liang established a trading company and sucked blood on the Light Auto Company. Then wouldn't others play this set?

The abandonment of the bid last time was actually carefully prepared for the second bidding.

The price won't be lower, the quality is still the previous standard, but the profit inside, I don't know whose pocket it flowed into.

This is a chaotic era. Whoever is smart will be rich overnight, and whoever can accumulate capital first will eventually fly into the sky.
