Chapter 1368 You actually have exclusive information?
May 1st, International Labor Day, was a rare day off for the older generation of flower growers in the 1990s when there were no short holidays.
However, Li Ye could not rest. At ten o'clock in the morning, the plane he was on had just landed at the Beijing Airport.
According to the original plan, he should continue to stay in the Soviet Union for a while. After all, the Soviet Union is too big. Not only are there a lot of good things waiting to be sold in the United States and Ukraine, but there are also many good opportunities in several republics in Eastern Europe.
However, a sudden call from home forced Li Ye to rush back. After landing, he could not spend the May Day holiday. Instead, he was picked up by Lu Zhizhang and driven directly to the Light Vehicle Company to work overtime.
After Li Ye got in the car, he asked Lu Zhizhang in a deep voice: "Old Lu, what you told me on the phone was not clear enough, what is the situation now?
I braved minus 30 degrees Celsius in Moscow and finally secured an entire heavy-duty truck production line. How come it's already been snatched up just a few months after arriving home? Who's so capable as to take my spoils?
“.”
Lu Zhizhang looked at Li Ye's gloomy face and knew that his partner, who had always been "generous", was really angry.
"The thing is, at the beginning of April, we finally sorted out the production technology process of KAMAZ, reported it to the higher-ups, and prepared to start the specific preparations before production.
But last week, the higher-ups suddenly changed their minds and decided that Southwest Heavy Truck was more suitable for the KAMAZ project."
"Of course, the ministry doesn't fully support Southwest Heavy Truck, because their performance in recent years has been quite average.
So now there are two opinions in the department. One is that Southwest Heavy Duty Truck will produce exclusively, and we will focus on producing light trucks and light buses.
Another opinion is to follow Sinotruk's example, with separate production but technology sharing."
Lu Zhizhang reluctantly began to explain to Li Ye.
In fact, anyone would be angry if this happened to them, and Lu Zhizhang himself was angry too.
Just after the Spring Festival, a complete set of information, molds and production equipment from the Daye Kamaz Automobile Factory arrived at a branch factory. Professor Zhao, Wu Yan and a group of apprentices began to analyze and study it.
After a few days of research, Professor Zhao and others discovered that there were many omissions and traps in the information. Then, a group of Kamaz technicians were sent over by Li Ye.
Ma Zhaoxian, Lu Zhizhang, Wu Yan and others were all very excited.
Because Li Ye's move was almost like "moving", it was decisive and domineering. Coupled with Li Ye's always positive and pragmatic style, the goal of putting Kamaz into production in the mainland is just around the corner.
However, after Wu Yan and others worked overtime for two or three months and finally analyzed and sorted out the entire set of technical data and were ready for the next step of experimental production, someone in the department suddenly proposed to hand over this set of Kamaz heavy-duty truck technology to Southwest Heavy-Duty Truck Company for production.
How can this be tolerated?
Not to mention Li Ye, even Ma Zhaoxian and Lu Zhizhang were unwilling to do so!
But those who made the proposal said that the Light Automobile Company has only been producing light trucks and has never produced even medium-sized trucks, and lacks "heavy truck production experience", so it is natural to hand it over to the Southwest Heavy Truck Company.
I can go to your right.
At that time, Liang Furu led the inspection team of the ministry to Su'e, and the first batch of imported projects included Kamaz heavy trucks.
The reason why the introduction was decisive and smooth was that, first of all, Li Ye clearly stated that the Light Automobile Company was willing to take over the project. More importantly, Li Ye helped solve the problem of introducing funds.
It can be said that without Li Ye, there would be no Kamaz project at all. Now it has been finally introduced, and a branch factory has been analyzing and researching it for several months. Now your Southwest Heavy Truck Company says you are "more experienced"?
What were you doing so far?
But reason is reason, and situation is situation. Otherwise, how can there be such a saying as "the situation is stronger than people"?
Look at the history of Southwest Heavy Truck Company over the past thirty or forty years. It has introduced advanced overseas technology many times and accepted countless amounts of funds, but in the end it only produced a few hundred heavy trucks. You should understand that they are qualified and capable of taking over the task of localizing Kamaz heavy trucks from the Light Truck Company.
If the Light Automobile Company does not want to watch others reap the benefits, it must take action. In such an action, how can it miss Li Ye, who is rich and well-connected?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The car from the first branch sped all the way and dropped Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang off at the office building of the Light Automobile Company's main factory. After Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang went upstairs to the conference room, there were already seven or eight people sitting inside.
Even Niu Hongzhang, who had always been at odds with Li Ye, sat quietly in the conference room.
Ma Zhaoxian saw Li Ye coming in and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Director Li, you just came back and you haven't even gone home to see your family yet, but we dragged you here to work."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "Things have their priorities. Director Lu has already told me the general situation on the way. Now I want to know what our factory's attitude is.
Are you willing to follow the instructions from above? Or do you think we should resolutely and independently complete the task of localizing KAMAZ heavy-duty trucks?
“.”
Li Ye's words caused a brief silence in the conference room.
There are two opinions in the department now, but Li Ye did not mention either one. He only said "complete the project independently" and did not give Southwest Heavy Truck any benefits.
In addition, there is another hidden meaning in Li Ye's words - you called me back because you want to use me as a knife, right?
You can use me as a knife, after all, whoever is at the forefront will gain the most. But don’t always think of hiding behind and taking advantage of the ready-made benefits. You must “firmly” follow me.
Otherwise, if Li Ye resolutely confronted the superiors, but some people "gently" expressed their willingness to accept the opinions of the superiors, saying that you guys play the good guys and let Li Ye play the bad guy, wouldn't Li Ye be a fool?
After a brief silence, Wu Yan spoke first, "Let me state my stance first. Our technical department has completed all technical preparations. We are confident and capable of completing the KAMAZ heavy-duty truck production independently without the need for any other assistance."
"I also agree with Wu Yan's opinion."
"I also support Director Li. Although we don't have experience in heavy truck production, we have been able to overcome all the challenges of all projects over the past few years without having to collaborate with others."
Technical personnel like Wu Yan hate being picked on by others the most, so of course he supported Li Ye's opinion at the first moment.
Then others also expressed their support. Whether they were from a branch factory or the main factory, they all firmly opposed giving such a large project to outsiders and were unwilling to even share it.
You know, the current light truck company really needs this kind of big project, because in recent years, the first branch factory has accounted for more than 80% of the profits of the entire light truck company, and the main factory is almost jealous.
The production of a complete set of Kamaz heavy-duty truck projects will not only drive the development of a branch factory, but the investment starting from several hundred million yuan can expand the entire light automobile company.
By then, even if the main factory only takes on a small part of the production tasks, it will be able to be reborn, become extremely rich, and greatly improve the conditions of the majority of employees.
Not to mention those managers who are struggling to find opportunities for promotion. As the unit expands, middle-level managers will definitely move up. Senior executives like Ma Zhaoxian and Niu Hongzhang have also achieved impressive "achievements" in their work reports.
As the head of the Light Automobile Company, Ma Zhaoxian certainly would not speak easily. He turned to look at Niu Hongzhang, who was also silent.
Secretary Niu, what do you think?
Niu Hongzhang glanced at Ma Zhaoxian and said calmly, "Of course, I'd like us to take over this project exclusively, but I heard from a friend in the department a few days ago that there's a different opinion. I don't know if it's true, but I think we could all listen and discuss it."
Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian were both stunned.
[This old man actually has exclusive information? Why don't I know about it?]
There is some news that you don’t know, but others know it, so this news may be the most true news.
