Chapter 836: I Am the Key Person

Seeing that several people were in favor of expanding the management team of the First Branch Factory, Lu Lu Zhizhang frowned.

When the First Branch Factory first started, the management team had been downsized, but there were only three hundred people then. Later, the number of workers surged, yet the management structure did not expand rapidly.

Because once a management department is established in a state-owned enterprise, it is very difficult to downsize later, so the First Branch Factory only added one Comprehensive Section and one section chief.

But now everyone is jealous. Departments like Housing Management, Logistics, Sanitation, and Discipline Inspection all want to be stuffed into your factory at once. Should you accept the decree and express gratitude, or resist the decree and disobey?

Blocking someone's career path is even more hateful than blocking someone's wealth!

Seeing Lu Lu Zhizhang frown, Li Ye coldly interrupted: "Wu Kezhang Kan, you said that the construction team we are cooperating with is not from Pengcheng, so it's not a Pengcheng company, and it's 'hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat,' right?"

Facing Li Ye's cold gaze, the section chief couldn't help but look elsewhere: "I didn't say that; it was feedback from the masses. You know, Deputy Factory Director Li, many workers have worked in the unit for decades and are just hoping to be allocated a good house. We can't let a small workshop take on the construction..."

"Shoddy work? It's truly terrifying to be uncultured."

Li Ye sneered: "Pengcheng is just a small fishing village. How many people can a village have? Does the 'Pengcheng Speed' rely on the people of one village to support it? Have those who say such things ever been to Pengcheng?"

"The Pengcheng Fenghua Construction Company we cooperate with has undertaken the construction of thousands of factory buildings, workshops, and staff dormitories in four years. How did it become a 'small workshop' in your eyes?"

The section chief pursed his lips and defended himself: "But in the end, it's not as reliable as our state-owned construction companies in the capital, right?"

"Reliable?"

Li Ye said: "Do you know what the quote from the capital's state-owned construction company is?"

Wu Kezhang Kan said: "These things can be discussed! Our factory has always had a good relationship with the Fourth and Sixth Construction Companies. Why let the 'fat water' flow into outsiders' fields..."

,

"We can't afford that 'fat water'!"

Li Ye said amusedly: "The Fourth Construction Company you mentioned has a quote 25% higher than Pengcheng Fenghua, but the construction period is four months longer. If we hire the Fourth Construction Company, will another hat of 'waste' be placed on us?"

"Besides, I have fellow villagers in the construction company I hired, so I am suspected of corruption and bribery. If you hire the Fourth Construction Company, don't you also have that suspicion?"

"You..."

Who said you were corrupt? I am just discussing the facts. "Then tell me which member of the masses reported that we were 'hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat'? I will go explain this matter to them personally." "Hey, hey, hey, Deputy Factory Director Li, don't be so impulsive. Everyone is doing this for the benefit of the unit. If you have any thoughts, just say them and discuss them. Let's focus on the matter, not the person!"

Wu Kezhang Kan was flushed by Li Ye, and others jumped out to secretly accuse Li Ye of being too impulsive.

This is a meeting! Everyone is supposed to compete in willpower and eloquence, emphasizing tact. How can you tear off your masks and argue like people cursing in the street?

"Alright, let's put these problems of the First Branch Factory aside for now. I have one more question."

?

The Grand Factory Director stopped the noise of the crowd, looked at Li Ye and Lu Lu Zhizhang, and asked: "Little Lu, Li Ye, I heard people saying these past few days that your First Branch Factory wants to multiply its output value and profits several times within five years and let all workers be allocated houses. Are you bragging, or do you really plan to do that?"

Lu Lu Zhizhang said: "We do indeed have that plan. My visit to Japan this time has truly broadened my horizons."

"The output of one Mitsubishi car factory is higher than the entire country's car output. And in the Japanese automotive industry, Mitsubishi is not even the top one."

"We have now received support from the Ministry to invest over ten million US dollars to introduce two advanced projects. If we can't produce results within five years, it would be a betrayal of the leaders' trust in us."

The Grand Factory Director narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold glint: "Did the Ministry support your five-year plan? I didn't even know about it! Hehe~"

The Grand Factory Director was angry.

Lu Lu Zhizhang's words just now were pointing out that this introduction of advanced Japanese technology had received the Ministry's support.

When Ma Ma Zhaoxian was preparing to introduce the bus chassis project in Japan, he bypassed the Grand Factory Director and sought support directly from the Ministry.

Because he knew that going to the Grand Factory Director would definitely be a dead end.

But could the Ministry not support it?

Every investment of real money is a performance point for the Ministry and a credit for the official in charge, right?

Compared to those subordinate enterprises that beg their mother for milk all day, the First Branch Factory can pull in a loan of over ten million US dollars on its own and accept projects that the Beijing Automotive and Motorcycle Industry doesn't want. This is definitely a good child worthy of being commended, right?

The Ministry does indeed have many factions, but in such matters, no one can openly oppose the First Branch Factory's approach.

So no matter how unhappy the Grand Factory Director is, he cannot openly oppose it. He can only pull strings secretly. After all, the mainland is not Japan; playing the game of "the subordinate overthrowing the superior" doesn't work here.

Wan Kezhang of the Finance Section received a hint from the Grand Factory Director and said in a deep voice: "The First Branch Factory has its own plans, and the General Factory has its own plans."

"When the General Factory allocated workshops and workers to the First Branch Factory, it was for mutual support and mutual development."

"In the first half of the year, the General Factory formulated an overall plan based on the First Branch Factory's operations. So no matter how the First Branch Factory develops in the future, the profits that must be handed over to the General Factory must be handed over on time. Otherwise, it will affect the overall situation of the entire Light Automotive Company..."

Well! Wan Kezhang's words were the real purpose of today's meeting.

Everyone is an old fox. They probably guessed Li Ye's intentions the moment they learned that the First Branch Factory was preparing to expand its scope of operations.

Those who suck blood are most worried about the blood bag suddenly drying up. The current General Factory cannot afford to lose the blood transfusion from the First Branch Factory.

If the First Branch Factory hadn't existed in the first place, that would be one thing.

But the First Branch Factory has been incredibly capable over the past half year, spoiling these people at the General Factory.

Don't look at Xiao Xiao Jingang accusing the First Branch Factory of extravagance and waste; in fact, the most wasteful ones are precisely them.

In the first half of the year, there was only one trading company, Guan Liang's, clinging to the General Factory. Now there are seven or eight, and they can't stop even if they want to.

This is just like those in later generations who are accustomed to using gold bars and loans; they spend as much money as they have, tearing down the east wall to patch the west wall without any pressure.

But once you get used to using loans, gold bars, and credit cards as working capital, people will grab you by the throat.

If the First Branch Factory cuts off the profit supply now, the General Factory's capital chain will break immediately.

After patiently waiting for Wan Kezhang to finish speaking, Li Ye replied calmly: "Inflation is very fierce this year, and costs have skyrocketed. We cannot estimate the profit for next month, so Wan Kezhang, you cannot rely too much on the First Branch Factory..."

"This is a task given to you by the General Factory, not something for you to rely on. Li Ye, you need to be clear about that."

"We can only say we'll try our best, but we must also complete the tasks assigned by the Ministry." "Then cut expenses, increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Raise the prices of all existing J3-130 models, and readjust employee wages."

"If you can't do it, then replace it with someone who can manage the First Branch Factory..."

Li Ye was stunned and questioned Wan Kezhang: "You want to replace someone? Who do you want to replace?"

Wan Kezhang was in a fit of anger and immediately shouted: "Anyone will do! Our Light Auto Company is a large enterprise with deep roots; finding a few experienced management cadres is still very easy."

"Then can they easily pull in over ten million US dollars in funds?"

Wan Kezhang was choked.

Li Ye did not follow their rules at all and did not know how to be humble in the slightest, actually labeling himself as "I am the key person." It was truly hateful.

【Are you threatening your leaders?】

However, the hateful part was yet to come.

After the meeting ended, Li Ye returned to the First Branch Factory and issued two announcements. A series of flashy operations caused a huge uproar. ===== CHAPTER 837 =====
