Chapter 411 It is not a factory, but a cover

Li Ye called Pei Wenhui over the next day, along with Hao Jian and Tang Mingtai.

Tang Mingtai was not surprised to see Li Ye, because although he had only met Li Ye once or twice, he knew that Li Ye was a fellow villager of Li Dayong and Hao Jian, and that he and Pei Wenhui were classmates at Peking University, so it was not surprising that Li Ye appeared in Pengcheng now.

But when Li Ye opened his mouth, Tang Mingtai was a little surprised.

Because from Li Ye's tone, he didn't consider himself an outsider.

"Now we need to clarify a few questions, and everyone should mobilize their own connections to verify the answers."

Li Ye said seriously: "Did Wang Qinshan really get in touch with the Fuso people because of a TV commercial?

He wants to import mechanical parts from Zhongai Company to assemble sewing machines. Has he communicated with the Hong Kong manager?"

"What is the price the Japanese offer for mechanical parts? Is it higher or lower than our cost? Do they only provide mechanical parts, or do they have other intentions?"

"Did the Japanese only contact the Changbei Machinery Company?"

“.”

Li Ye asked several questions in succession, just like a president in a meeting, calling out the names of his subordinates one by one.

After Li Ye finished speaking, Hao Jian answered first: "After I received your call yesterday, I have already asked several other machinery factories that manufacture sewing machines. Some of them have also received invitation calls from Zhongai Machinery Company.

These machinery factories are all medium-sized, but they also have certain strengths. In addition, I also asked several brother companies in the clothing industry, and they also received calls from Zhongai Company to sell sewing machines, just like I did at the beginning."

Hao Jian paused and said with some shame: "When they tried to sell me a sewing machine, didn't I ignore them?

But during the conversation, they found out what brand of sewing machine we were using. It wasn’t my fault, it was just that their methods were hard to guard against.”

Li Ye nodded and said, "The Japanese attach great importance to commercial intelligence, and commercial espionage is also very common internationally. I don't blame you for being tricked this time, but you should be careful when dealing with the Japanese in the future."

Hao Jian immediately said: "I will never deal with them in the future. If they call me, I will just pretend to be dumb."

"That's not necessary," Li Ye said with a light smile, "We still have a long way to go before we have to deal with them! Don't be a wimp!"

“.”

Pei Wenhui saw Hao Jian finished speaking, and then said to Li Ye: "I asked Guo Tianyong this morning. Wang Qinshan's behavior was not communicated to him. He also asked me if I would complain to the higher-ups now."

"What's the point of accusing? Not to mention that you haven't cooperated yet, even if you did, it wouldn't matter~"

Li Ye smiled indifferently, then looked at Tang Mingtai: "I heard that you quarreled with Wang Qinshan for half the night last night. Tell me the specific reason!"

Now only Tang Mingtai has not reported.

But he looked at Pei Wenhui first.

Because the questions Li Ye asked Tang Mingtai involved the business information of Changbei Machinery Company, he was a little hesitant.

Pei Wenhui nodded and said, "Just tell me the truth, and I will explain it to Guo Tianyong."

Tang Mingtai was relieved. Although Pei Wenhui had no position in Changbei, she was the "big boss's sister" and the Hong Kong manager Guo Tianyong was always polite to her and was capable of taking responsibility.

"The parts price quoted by Zhongai Machinery Company is higher than our cost, but their processing accuracy is also higher than our current accuracy. They should be processed by new machine tools.

If the Changbei-2 model we just successfully tested also uses the new machine tool, it should be similar to their improvement plan.

But we don’t have new machine tools. The samples for the previous experiments were taken to Hong Kong for processing. If we import parts from Hong Kong, the cost will be much higher than theirs.”

"But this is not the reason why I quarreled with Director Wang yesterday. Zhongai Company proposed to Director Wang some 'technical subcontracting business' yesterday, which means that they will continue to provide technical improvement plans to Changbei Machinery Company in the future."

Tang Mingtai sighed and said sadly: "There are too many examples like this in recent years. Everyone works hard on research and is about to produce results, but suddenly someone comes to sell the ready-made products to them."

"We have finally formed a technical team, and everyone is very motivated. Now suddenly there is no place for them to use their skills. Of course I have to argue with Wang Qinshan."

"I said the Japanese were not so kind, but Wang Qinshan said we were not good people either. We colluded with outsiders to hide the technology, and a few people earned half the factory's money. We were just traitors."

“.”

Pei Wenhui and Hao Jian were both "stunned", and even Li Ye couldn't help laughing.

Li Ye laughed and said, "He called you a traitor, but you didn't punch him in the head?"

"I didn't. I was stunned by what he said. Now I think I should have punched him a few times."

Tang Mingtai said regretfully, "You don't know, I didn't sleep well last night. I tossed and turned in the second half of the night, wondering how I could have become a traitor. But when it was almost dawn, I suddenly realized that I was definitely not a traitor."

"Pah~"

Tang Mingtai slammed the table and said with his eyes wide open: "Although our technology is kept secret from Director Wang, and although we are also paid by Hong Kong, our technical staff are all from the mainland.

The technologies we have developed are all used in mainland enterprises. Our technologies have not flowed overseas and are 100% our own technologies.

Yes, the Hong Kong side took away the profits of the factory, but they invested money, and the bank has to pay interest on the loan! Who would do something that doesn’t make money?

My relative worked at the Changbei Machinery Factory. The factory, which was about to die, came back to life. It made money, paid taxes, and even paid the workers' wages. How could we be considered traitors? Who did we harm? We didn't betray our own people, did we? "

Tang Mingtai took two breaths in anger and said unwillingly, "So I got up this morning and went to find Wang Qinshan to have another good fight with him. If he dares to outsource the technology to the Japanese, he will be a traitor!

As a result, when I went to look for Wang Qinshan, he was picked up by Zhong Ai’s people in advance. Then I received a call from Jingcheng Manager Guo, asking me to come and meet up with Pei.

"But I will definitely not let him off today. I must tell him clearly in person that it is our technology that has made Changbei Machinery Company what it is today. If Wang Qinshan dares to use outsiders' technology to replace our own, I will never forgive him."

"Hey, Manager Tang, you hit the nail on the head. The technology is our own technology. This is our wish and goal."

Li Ye pointed at Tang Mingtai and said with a smile: "Manager Tang, do you still remember why we went to Changbei Machinery Factory?"

Tang Mingtai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Initially, it was Li Dayong who took the lead in the sewing machine improvement project, but there was no place to produce it, so there was a joint venture with Changbei Machinery Factory later."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes, Manager Tang, you are a technical talent in the field of machinery. You should know that the innovation of mechanical technology cannot be completed entirely in the laboratory. It must rely on factories and the market."

"So Changbei Machinery Company was established to research technology and train your technical team. Wang Qinshan is actually serving your technical department."

“.”

The idea Li Ye said was a bit confusing. Not only was Tang Mingtai a little confused, but even Hao Jian and Pei Wenhui were unable to react for a while.

After all, Wang Qinshan is the head of a factory. How did he become a "subordinate" serving the technicians?

But Pei Wenhui thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I talked to Dayong on the phone yesterday, and he got angry and said something similar.

But what he said is that we have the technology, we don't have to rely on Wang Qinshan, if it doesn't work, we can just withdraw our shares and start anew, the environment here in Pengcheng is better, we can just move here."

"Start from scratch? Why do we need to start from scratch? The technical team must stay in Beijing."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you something and also reveal my expectations and plans for your future!"

Li Ye stretched out his hand, pressed down a finger, and said, "For a machinery company to become an industry giant, there are only a few steps.

The first step is to have a new technology, which we have already achieved, at least with Changbei-1 and Changbei-2, which are considered advanced in the mainland. "

Li Ye pressed down his second finger: "After we have the technology, we need to conduct trial production. We need to make at least a few hundred products and then continuously test them internally.

At first, Nancheng No. 3 Machinery Factory did not cooperate with us in this second step, so we found Changbei Machinery Factory and completed this second step. "

Li Ye pressed down his third finger: "The third step is to modify and debug the product based on market feedback. We have just reached this step.

This year, our Changbei-1 sold well, so according to customer feedback, we gradually solved many technical problems in details. I would like to say that Zhongai Machinery Company has not reached this stage yet!"

What Li Ye said has a basis, such as the new energy vehicles that have become popular in later generations.

Jia Yueting and Xu Jiayin both died before the third step, and Lei Jun was also stuck at the third step, unable to take a step forward.

But Li Ye relied on the sales channels of Changbei Machinery Factory and Jin Peng to complete the third step.

Li Ye pressed down his fourth finger and said solemnly: "The fourth step is that we need continuous technological updates and continuous product iterations. Only when we reach this generation can we defeat other peers.

But to achieve this, we need a stronger technical team of our own.”

Li Ye looked at Tang Mingtai and Pei Wenhui and said, "Now you should understand why I kept the technical team in Beijing?"

Tang Mingtai and Pei Wenhui shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand.

"Alas, because there are many idle technical people in the capital!"

Li Ye asked Tang Mingtai: "You know about machinery, where do you think there are the most industrial research institutes in our mainland?"

Tang Mingtai suddenly realized: "Regardless of the confidential information involved, the research institutes in the civilian industry are mostly in Beijing, and the number of idle researchers in these research institutes is also the largest in the country."

There have always been many research institutions in Beijing, and after years of accumulation, they have accumulated countless technicians.

Li Ye established Changbei Machinery Company, which was a cover organization for poaching talents.

In the early 1980s, when people met each other, they did not ask each other: "Brother, where did you make your fortune?"

Everyone starts by asking, "Comrade, which unit are you from?"

If Li Ye doesn't even have a formal unit and wants to invite people to come and get paid to work as a technician, no one will pay any attention to you.

You're a fake company, and you want to hire me?

I am a formal national researcher and cannot afford to lose face.

But the name of Sino-Hong Kong joint venture is still very intimidating. Now Tang Mingtai has several newly recruited technical personnel under his command, otherwise Changbei-2 would not have been produced so quickly.

Therefore, the Changbei Machinery Company, a Sino-Hong Kong joint venture, cannot be abandoned for the time being, and Li Ye also wants to rely on this factory to make Naoto Nakamura suffer!

Li Ye saw that Tang Mingtai understood, so he smiled and said, "Then you know what you should do next, right?"

Tang Mingtai laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm not trying to steal the support of xxism, am I?"
