Chapter 1292 Being a Saint is Very Painful (Please Leave for One Update)
On the third day after Li Ye returned to Beijing, the motorcade of Wang Siyu and others returned to the first branch factory, and then caused a small disturbance within the Light Automobile Company.
Because Li Ye bought many imported cars at the exhibition, each of which was an eye-catching item in that era, and of course it would lead to a series of gossip.
"Do you know? A branch went to Shanghai and bought more than a dozen imported cars of all kinds. How many section-level cadres do they have? Two cars for each person is more than enough, right?"
"Why should section-level cadres be entitled to a car? Besides, the vans they produce themselves are pretty good! Why should they spend foreign exchange to buy others'?"
"You don't understand this, right? They said that these imported goods are bought for 'research and reference'. We should learn from the advanced experience of the West and make up for our own shortcomings."
"Hey, what nonsense! I'm an experienced fitter with so many years of experience, don't I know this? If they want to study and learn from it, they have to dismantle the car into pieces. What can they study with just their butts?"
“.”
Li Ye really planned to dismantle these dozen cars.
Although the current branch does not have the technical capability to conduct comprehensive reverse research, there is no problem in learning from some experience.
Wang Siyu and others were of course reluctant to part with them. They drove the cars all the way back from Shanghai. They were so fond of these "luxury cars" that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that they had no heart to dismantle them into parts.
"Director, why don't we study their control characteristics first! Once they are taken apart, they can't be put back together."
"Is this something I bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars just for you to take a ride? Can't put it back? Nonsense, if it can be put back, why would I need you technicians?
Seriously disassemble and study it for me. When you have figured it out, I will reward each of you with a new one, which will belong to you personally."
“.”
No one was reluctant to give up. Everyone knew that Li Ye was a man of his word. As long as he completed the task, the reward would never be empty.
An imported car costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is enough to buy several houses.
Once the reward is in hand, give it away.
After Lu Zhizhang knew Li Ye's plan, he couldn't help but tease him, "Li Ye, if you dismantle all these dozen cars, I don't know how many people will scold you for wasting resources.
You know, many of them have worked hard all their lives to climb the social ladder just to own a car of their own. Last time, when we gave our employees cars as rewards, they were jealous and dissatisfied. But this time, you just tore it down."
“Hehe~”
Li Ye snorted twice and said disdainfully: "I think if I don't tear it down, someone will cause trouble for me~"
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Siyu and others returned with the convoy, Niu Hongzhang asked Li Ye a question at the meeting.
"Comrade Li Ye, during the Shanghai exhibition, you spent more than 5 million yuan to buy imported cars. Was such a large purchase reviewed and approved in accordance with regulations?
Even if your branch is doing well, you alone cannot control such a large amount of funds at your disposal. This is a huge loophole and deficiency in our management.
Therefore, I suggest that a comprehensive supervision and regulatory mechanism be established for the use of large amounts of funds."
As soon as Li Ye heard what Niu Hongzhang said, he knew that he was going to drag those people from the main factory to "choke" the branch factory. This is just like building a hydroelectric power station on a river. At first glance, the purpose is good, irrigation in the dry season and flood control in the rainy season, and it's all out of good intentions to keep you safe.
But this is the result of a selfless and effective management mechanism. If the hydropower station has ulterior motives, once it is built, everyone downstream will be controlled by the hydropower station. If they don't obey, they will not be given water.
If you don’t believe me, just look at some countries in the south. They don’t release water in the dry season, but open the floodgates in the rainy season, allowing you to deeply feel the power of nature.
The same is true for Niu Hongzhang. Because of his many misbehaviors in the past two years, the cadres of the main factory have been somewhat distant from him. But if the supervision mechanism is established this time, everyone will have the right to "point fingers" at one more branch factory.
With rights come benefits.
Even those who were "secretly colluding" with the first branch were somewhat tempted, because when the time came, if someone else tried to trip up the first branch, they could help the first branch and take sides. Wouldn't that be helping the first branch and making the first branch owe them a favor?
So before Niu Hongzhang finished speaking, Li Ye noticed that many people were making eye contact with each other.
Li Ye observed their eyes and expressions and felt that Niu Hongzhang should not have communicated with them in advance, so the incident happened suddenly and they were not prepared.
[Is Lao Niu so careful? ]
Li Ye felt a little amused.
In the past,
I guess if they had to vote by raising their hands, they would be willing to support it.
After Niu Hongzhang finished speaking, Ma Zhaoxian smiled and asked Li Ye: "Deputy Director Li, do you have any explanation?"
"some."
Li Ye said calmly: "First of all, let me correct you. During my time at the Shanghai Exhibition, I did not spend more than 5 million, but more than 7 million. In addition to the more than 5 million yuan spent on imported cars, I also bought ten Iveco medium-sized buses."
"Wow~"
"Hiss~"
Many people in the conference room looked at Li Ye in surprise.
Although everyone knew that Li Ye was "arrogant and domineering", it was still surprising that he could make such a big event that cost more than 7 million yuan sound so easy.
But Li Ye continued, "But my behavior did not violate the regulations, because before I went to Shanghai, I passed the plan to purchase cars for research and reference at an internal meeting of the first branch.
The original funding was to be within 10 million, but many of the cars at the exhibition were not worth learning from, such as the high-end Mercedes-Benz and Bayer, so the money was not spent."
[Well! I guess you are still a person who knows how to live~]
Li Ye continued, "In addition, the reason why I purchased ten Iveco medium-sized buses is to strengthen the connection with the production base in the city. The benefits of the production base in the city have been very good this year, which is inseparable from the technical and management support of the first branch.
However, we are 700 kilometers away, and it is inconvenient for technical personnel and management personnel to travel back and forth. Many employees stationed in the city have already felt homesick.
This Iveco bus can arrive on the same day, so I decided to start a regular bus service, running every other day, to make our connection with the city closer."
When Li Ye said this, the people around him couldn't help but nod slightly. After all, the development speed of the Zhucheng Vehicle Factory was too fast.
Although Li Ye dispatched a large number of management and technical cadres to the city from the beginning, in the face of such huge interests, everyone was still afraid that the other party would "not obey the orders of the emperor when he was away from home."
Even like several joint venture projects of Beijing Automobile and Motorcycle, in the end others took advantage of the situation to grow bigger and go out independently.
Therefore, Li Ye now operates two-way buses every two days to increase the mobility of Beijing cadres and those stationed in the city. Today people are sent over to study, and tomorrow leaders go over for inspection. Over time, everyone will become a true "family."
But after saying this, Li Ye changed the subject and said again: "Besides, due to the huge success of the city-based project, we will most likely accept other units with similar situations in the future.
Therefore, we need to develop more new models and technologies. Otherwise, when others come to us, we won’t be able to teach them new skills. How can we be their mentor? "
"Um?"
"What does he mean by that?"
The cadres who are qualified to come to the conference room for meetings are all smart people, and Li Ye’s words immediately aroused all kinds of speculations among them.
Section Chief Xing of the main factory had a good relationship with the first branch factory. He smiled and asked, "Director Li, you said that there are other units coming here. Is the first branch factory going to expand again?"
Li Ye said ambiguously: "It's just an intention now, but we should always prepare for a rainy day!"
Niu Hongzhang immediately said, "Deputy Director Li, please be careful about the occasion when speaking. Don't say anything without basis in the meeting."
Li Ye was about to retort, but Ma Zhaoxian said calmly: "I went to a meeting at the ministry the day before yesterday. The ministry does have this intention. Now three units hope to merge and join us. The specific situation is already under study, and everyone should be prepared."
"Buzz~"
There was a sudden commotion in the conference room, and many familiar people began to whisper to each other.
Ma Zhaoxian is not Li Ye, he is the general manager of the Light Automobile Company. Since he said this happened, it must be true.
Moreover, Ma Zhaoxian also said "let everyone be mentally prepared", which makes it even more exciting.
Because when the cadres were sent to the city, several people from the head factory also went there. Although they were sent six or seven hundred kilometers away, their ranks were actually promoted.
If a few more units are merged this time, there will definitely be a lot more job vacancies. Didn't we all work hard for so many years just to have a chance to get a job?
So after Ma Zhaoxian spoke, no one mentioned Niu Hongzhang's previous proposal. Now it is clear that Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye have greater benefits, and only a fool would offend Li Ye at this critical juncture.
Lu Zhizhang exchanged glances with Li Ye, then took out the pile of letters of complaint with a smile: "I have a matter on hand that I have not known how to deal with. It has been delayed for several days and I can't delay it any longer, so I would like to take this opportunity to listen to everyone's opinions."
"Comrade Niu Hongzhang, these are some letters of complaint against you from the public. I don't know why they were sent to me. Some of them are filed under real names. Would you like to take a look at them yourself first?"
Lu Zhizhang handed the letter of complaint to Niu Hongzhang.
But Niu Hongzhang didn't answer.
He was so angry that he was about to die. He had never encountered such a thing before. Lu Zhizhang was really unethical.
[You said you wanted me to take a look at it first, so why did you take it out now? Shouldn't you have quietly sent it to my office? ]
[And what is your identity? Why do you receive a letter of denunciation? Do you know the rules? ]
"No, I am willing to accept supervision from the masses. Just read it to everyone now."
"Oh, that's good."
Lu Zhizhang smiled, picked up the letter of complaint and began to read: "Dear factory leaders, I am Li Xiaomao from the Third Forging Workshop of the General Factory. I am reporting Comrade Niu Hongzhang for arranging jobs for his relatives.
His relative is Niu Fenhua, who only has an elementary school education, but was assigned to be a piece-rate clerk. She always misrecords the number of performance pieces for me, and always records less. I suspect she doesn’t know how to count.”
"Dear factory directors, deputy factory directors, and section chiefs, I am Zhang Zhenming from the General Affairs Section of the main factory. Comrade Niu Hongzhang asked us to send someone to clean his office, but there are so many people in his office, don't we have the hands and feet to clean it?"
“.”
Lu Zhizhang read out more than a dozen letters of denunciation in one breath, which made Niu Hongzhang's nose crooked with anger.
Among these dozen or so letters of complaint, only one or two had some substance, such as the fact that he arranged for his relatives with only primary school education to work as piecework workers.
We really can't blame him for this, because the mainland's nine-year compulsory education was only implemented in 1986, and it was not fully popularized in many places until the 1990s, with primary school education abounding.
As for the rest of the reports, they were just trivial and looking for trouble.
The office was doing a big cleaning during the Chinese New Year, but the subordinates were too lazy and called the General Affairs Department to ask for a few people to do the work. This is a very normal thing in any unit, and even the General Affairs Department had to rush to do the job.
However, the problem of looking for trouble in other people can be quite damaging to Niu Hongzhang.
Because Niu Hongzhang has always regarded himself as "selfless" and "hardworking and frugal", he often uses trivial matters to carry out ideological education for the workers, but this work style requires extremely high standards from himself.
[You always teach others to be diligent, but can't you clean the windows yourself? Can't you repair the bench yourself? ]
The only thing you’re afraid of is that others will take this matter too seriously. However, over the years, no one dared to take Niu Hongzhang too seriously, so he himself didn’t even notice it.
But now someone has pointed it out in the face, what do you want him to say?
At this time, if someone jumped out to help Niu Hongzhang and directly scolded him, "This is simply nonsense. This matter must be investigated thoroughly and the bad elements with ulterior motives must be dealt with seriously," then the matter would have been over.
But unfortunately, no one in the meeting room spoke up, and Niu Hongzhang was left there.
【Alas, you will suffer the consequences if you do evil! 】
Li Yetu felt sorry for Niu Hongzhang. He always believed that Niu Hongzhang's working style was extremely painful and cruel. It was almost like a saint. Any flaw would be magnified infinitely to attack you for your previous reprimands against others.
Therefore, Li Ye never "strictly demanded himself". Even if he knew some of his minor faults, he did not correct them excessively, but instead focused his work on improving efficiency.
[Well, I just have some minor flaws. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me! But my whiteness can cover up all the flaws. I can make money and generate benefits. If you can win the lawsuit, it's a sign of your ability.]
But Niu Hongzhang is not like that.
If a person who always boasts about being "frugal and public-spirited" is suddenly pointed out to have all kinds of minor flaws, then the "golden body" that he has worked hard to maintain for decades will be broken.
[If you can't do it yourself, then aren't all those big words and empty words you said before bullshit? ]
