Chapter 806

Lu Zhizhang felt his throat was about to smoke.

Anyone who argues with a dozen people from morning to afternoon will have a smoking throat.

"This on-site inspection in Japan is an introduction project led by our First Branch Factory. There are nine inspection spots in total, but they only gave us three. This is simply unrealistic..."

"How is it unrealistic! The level of your First Branch Factory is only at the section level. Logically speaking, allocating one spot is already exceeding the quota. Now that you are given two, you still think it's too few? Little Lu, don't be ungrateful?"

"What do you mean ungrateful! We need to invite two experts from the machinery industry to accompany us. Besides them, there is only one spot left. So you tell me who should go?"

"That must be you! You are the factory manager, and we didn't say you couldn't go, did we?"

"Then what about Li Ye? The introduction funds for this project were raised by Li Ye. Not letting him go? Is that appropriate?"

"Then let Li Ye go..."

"..."

"Little Lu, I have to say a few words to you about this. Our factory has been making cars since the fifties. Which one of us here is not an expert in the automotive field? Now you are actually spending money to hire outsiders to help. It's simply a joke..."

"..."

Lu Zhizhang almost sprayed a mouthful of profanity in the other person's face.

【You, who spend all day in meetings drinking tea and can't even understand the blueprints, have the nerve to call yourself an expert?】

This time, Li Ye invited Professor Zhao and one of his proud disciples to go to Japan to inspect that micro-car.

Although it is said that letting a newly graduated doctoral student look at the other party's blueprints can make him talk eloquently about "what processing equipment and what craftsmanship this product uses,"

But which specific factory has this level of craftsmanship and which research institute has the ability for further research and development is not something an ordinary technical person understands.

Besides, we can't always import other people's second-rate technology, right? We have to research our own engines, transmissions, and electrical manufacturing technology, right?

Automotive people in the interior spent forty years to possess first-class engine R&D capabilities. What did they rely on?

Of course, it's a steady stream of talent.

And Professor Zhao's disciples and grand-disciples are all over the world, and he knows the specific capabilities of the machinery industry in the interior like the back of his hand. If you have a good relationship with him, are you worried about poaching talent in the wrong direction and ending up in a sewer?

"If you ask me, all day long it's about the rejuvenation of cadres, but young people have no experience! Li Ye and Little Lu are both too young, and someone must be there to keep an eye on them at all times..."

"Little Lu, Little Lu? Tell me, am I right?"

"..."

Lu Zhizhang swallowed, feeling his throat hurting and very uncomfortable.

But at this very moment, his heart felt even more uncomfortable.

This time, the First Branch Factory prepared to introduce advanced overseas technology, which was completely a "self-raised funds" and "self-development" model. But when it came time to go overseas for inspection, the General Factory insisted on getting involved and had to send a few people to "keep an eye on" the First Branch Factory.

Lu Zhizhang had no doubt that if the First Branch Factory and Jingqi Motor didn't have the same mother-in-law, this matter wouldn't even need to be considered; just go do whatever you need to do, there would be no hope of success.

The introduction project this time already had some clues from above. Jingqi Motor, which was connected halfway, was unwilling to take over, and the First Branch Factory jumped out to take over at this time, which can be called high-minded and made the people above very satisfied.

So under Ma Zhaoxian's active operation, the ministry vigorously promoted it, and soon the introduction project was set on the First Branch Factory, and the people below didn't even have a chance to object.

Otherwise, just based on the ability of these people on the scene to "drag their feet," a good thing would definitely be ruined by them.

But even now, when it's a "done deal," there are still people constantly jumping out to cause trouble.

When everyone goes to inspect the project, a few laymen point fingers, saying "this won't work, that's not right," can this project still be negotiated?

This is not Lu Zhizhang worrying about nothing, because this introduction project was fought for by Ma Zhaoxian at the ministry. After all, Li Ye's level is still temporarily insufficient, and Ma Zhaoxian needs to communicate and lead the way with the people above. So after the introduction is successful, the credit will naturally be Ma Zhaoxian's.

But the General Factory's imitation of the Isuzu project hasn't been put into mass production yet! Your First Branch Factory has introduced another "advanced overseas project." Why should such a great credit fall on Ma Zhaoxian?

If Ma Zhaoxian is infinitely glorious, and the General Factory is dragging its feet and dead, should the "Deputy" in Ma Zhaoxian's Deputy General Manager title be removed?

Must guard against it, must guard against it!

"Ring, ring, ring~"

The bell for getting off work rang.

Deputy Director Xiao glanced at Lu Zhizhang and said slowly: "Let's discuss it here for today! Anyway, there are still a few days left. After we go back, let's all self-reflect and come up with an optimal plan for the unity and development of our unit."

Lu Zhizhang opened his mouth, but everyone had already stood up and left.

He suddenly felt very exhausted.

Clearly, the First Branch Factory and the General Factory are only separated by a wall, and clearly, the efficient management of the First Branch Factory is already before their eyes, but why can't these people change and transform?

Lu Zhizhang dragged his exhausted steps back to the First Branch Factory, saw that Li Ye's car hadn't left yet, and knocked on the door to enter Li Ye's office.

Li Ye looked up at Lu Zhizhang and said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, it's another day without results, right? I told you, don't pay attention to them. Anyway, they don't have foreign exchange, and in the end, we will still have the final say."

"Sigh, I wish I could! But now we are still affiliated with the General Factory, and they have jurisdiction. If we always clash head-on, it will bring too much trouble to Deputy Manager Ma."

Lu Zhizhang sighed, picked up Li Ye's water cup, and gulped down a mouthful.

Li Ye said helplessly: "Old Lu, your cup is over there. I told you not to use my cup."

Men in the eighties didn't have as many "germaphobes" as in later generations. Good friends wouldn't just share a cup to drink water; they could even wear each other's underwear.

But Li Ye, who had experienced many major epidemics, couldn't accept this kind of intimate friendship, so he prepared a separate cup for Lu Zhizhang. Usually, Lu Zhizhang was also very careful, but he forgot again today.

"I'm very sorry, I was really thirsty. I argued with them all afternoon and didn't drink a drop of water..."

Lu Zhizhang first apologized and explained, then said dejectedly: "Li Ye, if it really doesn't work, I won't go! If we keep arguing like this and delay the big event, there will be nowhere to regret it."

"You're not going?"

Li Ye said sternly: "Our factory's project, if you, Factory Manager Lu, don't go, where will your prestige be in the future? You must fight for this breath. Once you fight to the end, you can give them one more spot, and I will go under another name."

"..."

Lu Zhizhang was stunned for a moment and asked: "You go under another name? What do you mean?"

【Of course, it means free activity!】

Li Ye said with a faint smile: "I have a few friends in Japan, and I can invite me over in the name of 'cultural exchange.' I'll meet my friends by the way, and then we can go inspect the project together."

Lu Zhizhang was silent for a few seconds and said guiltily: "This matter was clearly promoted by you single-handedly, but in the end, you have to make concessions..."

"This doesn't count as a concession. I just don't want to waste my energy on these meaningless trifles. And this way, I can act alone when the time comes, so as not to be face-to-face with those annoying guys all day long..."

Actually, this is Li Ye's purpose.

This time going to Japan, Li Ye has many things to deal with, and the car introduction project is just a side matter, so he doesn't want to "travel with the group" and be restricted everywhere.
