Chapter 1493 Is it so easy to defraud funds?

After Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye were "questioned", the higher-ups did not immediately respond to Cong Jinhong's case, and did not say whether it would be strictly investigated or downplayed.

Li Ye could understand this. After all, Jin Hong was a person of high rank. Even if the higher-ups really wanted to deal with the matter, they would have to hold a meeting and go through the process before making a decision.

However, the response from above to the "Kamaz Project" reported by Shang Bin was very positive. The next day, the Jingnan Group was notified and a week later, they went to Southwest Heavy Duty Truck to inspect the research and development results of Kamaz.

"What? Southwest Heavy Duty Truck has already produced a prototype? Are you kidding me?"

Li Ye learned from Xiao Zhu that the technical team of Southwest Heavy Duty Truck had achieved a "major breakthrough".

But Li Ye is not a "dreamer" who sits in the office all day with newspapers and tea. How could he believe such unrealistic results?

Li Ye frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Xiao Zhu, "You're a deputy director in the technical department, and they've made such great progress, it's impossible that there aren't any signs at all. Do you think this is true or false?"

Xiao Zhu said with a smile: "Deputy General Manager Li, since our people were withdrawn from Southwest Heavy Duty Truck, Gan Zhongjie would announce the significant progress made by Southwest Heavy Duty Truck at the weekly meeting.

But he was vague about the specific progress, and coupled with Southwest Heavy Duty Truck's R&D conditions, we all felt that it was a trick of crying wolf."

"Heh~, this time the wolf is really coming."

Li Ye chuckled and said, "In a week, the ministry will organize a delegation to inspect Southwest Heavy Duty Truck. You should discuss it with Wu Yan and organize some capable personnel to accompany them. We can also go and see the speed of Southwest."

Because Pengcheng has developed very rapidly in recent years, many people in the mainland like to use Pengcheng speed to explain phenomena that are beyond common sense. However, Li Ye feels that the "satellite" launched by Shangbin this time is even more outrageous than Pengcheng speed.

Apart from anything else, Li Ye has mobilized hundreds of engineers and technicians, but he still hasn't figured out the three-component power system of KAMAZ! And Southwest Heavy Duty Truck has actually produced a prototype?

This is a complete crushing strength! If Southwest Heavy Duty Truck really has this kind of strength, how could it fall into the situation of annual losses?

You must learn from experience, deep and thorough learning experience.

"Xiao Zhu, remember to bring your camera. Be sure to record the sample car carefully, analyze it carefully, and study it carefully."

"Okay, I'll bring two cameras and shoot from multiple angles."

But Li Ye and Xiao Zhu had a good idea, but they didn't expect that people would not let people from the Light Automobile Company in.

It was evening when Li Ye and others arrived in the southwest with the tour group. When arranging accommodation, they were inadvertently assigned to different floors.

Li Ye didn't care. After all, the people above him had different identities, so it was normal that their accommodation conditions were different from his own.

But it was not until the next day that Li Ye found out that they had not been notified at all.

At 8:30 in the morning, Li Ye received a call from his assistant Zhou Ziqing.

"Mr. Li, I just received a call from Southwest Heavy Duty Truck, saying that Shang Bin has taken Qu Si to visit the prototype, but didn't see you."

"Have you visited the prototype yet?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "Who called to tell you? What else did he say?"

Zhou Ziqing replied, "He hung up the phone right after informing me of the news. He probably didn't want anyone to know who he was."

Li Ye immediately understood that the person who "leaked the information" also disliked Shang Bin's behavior.

Li Ye took out his cell phone and called Shang Bin, but the phone was turned off.

"Hmph~"

Li Ye snorted coldly, stood up and walked out: "Come on, Xiao Zhu, let's go and experience their hospitality."

Li Ye and others hurried to Southwest Heavy Duty Truck, but were stopped at the door.

"I'm sorry, Deputy General Manager Li. Ever since the unfriendly incident last time, we have strictly prohibited technical exchanges with outside companies. This is for the benefit and safety of both parties."

Li Ye looked at the man in front of him who was smiling but not smiling, and asked calmly: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to stop me?"

"I'm not anyone. I'm just an employee of Southwest Heavy Duty Truck. A few months ago, someone from the Light Truck Company had a conflict with us. Since then, our bonuses have stopped and our salaries are in arrears. Mr. Li, please have some mercy on me."

"I know who you are!"

Li Ye interrupted the other party and said with a forced smile: "You are Tao Shangping. We had a good chat during the Spring Festival. Your voice is so recognizable.

I don't know who assigned you to stop me here, but I can tell you that your salary and bonus have nothing to do with me. Whoever canceled your salary or owed you money, go find them yourself, don't blame me.

Besides, you have no right to stop me from entering. If you really don’t let us in, Shangbin has to come over and talk to us.”

Tao Shangping didn't expect that Li Ye recognized him just by his voice, and he felt a little guilty for a moment.

On New Year's Eve, he was on duty at the factory when Li Ye called him to check on him. Feeling dissatisfied, he "reversely" checked on Li Ye's post in the second half of the night, and the two of them had a "good chat".

But then Tao Shangping straightened his back again and said to Li Ye in a stern voice: "I'm sorry, Deputy General Manager Li, no matter who I am, I can't let you in today.

Before we met you, we could barely make ends meet, but now we can barely eat. We are afraid of you, really afraid of you!

The other Southwest Heavy Duty Truck members were also incited and shouted at Li Ye: "Last time, you sent our brothers to jail. Now you are here, nothing good will happen?"

"Exactly. Last time you left, we agreed that everyone would go about their own business. Why are you here again? Do you want to steal our technology?"

"you."

It was the first time that Li Ye was left speechless by someone.

After the technical staff of the first branch factory withdrew last time, everyone did form a tacit understanding, each responsible for their own research and development, and no one owed anyone anything.

But Li Ye came here to visit and learn, not for "technical cooperation". When Shang Bin took the engineers to visit a branch factory, Li Ye did not stop them from going in!

When the heavy trucks roll off the production line at the first factory, will Li Ye not allow Shang Bin and others to visit?

Besides, what technology can be stolen just by taking a look at the car's appearance?

At most, you'll find some tricks.

Just as Li Ye was confronting Tao Shangping and others, the crisp roar of a diesel engine suddenly came from the venue.

Two brand new heavy trucks with red cloths hanging on them drove out of the factory, probably heading to the highway outside Southwest Heavy Duty Truck Group.

"Move aside, move aside. Don't block the test run of the prototype car."

The workers at the gate were busy and pushed Li Ye and others aside.

Li Ye was very angry, but he did not lose his temper on the spot.

Because he saw Qu Si sitting in the passenger seat of the first heavy truck, obviously he wanted to test drive the car himself.

And of course, Shang Bin was sitting in the passenger seat of the second heavy truck.

Both of them saw Li Ye, but Qu Si's face was full of confusion, while Shang Bin's face was full of pride.

The two heavy trucks drove away quickly, and Tao Shangping and others at the factory gate looked at Li Ye with eyes full of contempt and pride.

However, the technician next to Li Ye immediately whispered, "Director, the engine sounds of these two cars sound like the engines of Dongshan Weixian!"

"Just now when the two cars accelerated, I heard the gear shift, it was an eight-speed transmission in Shanghai."

"I can't tell the rear axle by sound, but from the rear profile, I can tell it's the one used by Dongshan Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck."

The research and development funds of the first branch are very abundant, so as long as they are mainstream heavy-duty trucks in the country, the factory will buy a few to "learn their essence". At this time, the technicians just took a quick look and immediately "saw the trick like an expert" and found out the trick.

Li Ye said in surprise: "So they put together two prototypes by piecing together various things!"

Xiao Zhu pursed his lips and said conservatively, "Then we have to catch up and see."

"Get in the car and chase!"

Li Ye and others immediately got in the car and chased after the two heavy trucks.

The car chased the heavy truck, which was like a rabbit chasing a tortoise. It soon caught up with the heavy truck and followed it closely.

A heavy truck is not like a compact car; each component is large. After Li Ye and others followed for a while, several technicians took a closer look at it from the back.

"Director, you seem to think too highly of them. This truck is either assembled or just a Sinotruk chassis with a new cab. This cab looks like an old Southwest Heavy Duty Truck cab with a new look."

"No wonder they wouldn't let us in! This is completely fake!"

Li Ye finally understood why Shangbin was able to produce a prototype car so quickly.

This is just like some internet celebrity products from decades later, simple and crude, produced with a label!

Xiao Zhu suddenly said, "We should have thought of this a long time ago. Southwest Heavy Duty Truck has been defrauding funds like this for so many years."

Li Ye smiled.

"Funding, is it really that easy to cheat?"

Those who hold the funds are not so easy to deceive. If you succeed in deceiving them, they will just turn a blind eye.

"Stop looking, let's go back."

"Go back to Southwest Heavy Duty Truck or go back to the hotel?"

"Let's go back to the capital. Since they don't like us, we won't get involved."

Li Ye didn't want to get involved with a deceitful person like Shang Bin. Now that he has found out the truth, why should he continue to be an eyesore here?
