Chapter 1377 Ten Times More Difficult
Because Li Ye stopped all research related to Kamaz, visitors cannot "observe" for a long time. After all, there is no one to explain to you, so what's the point of visiting?
But when Shang Bin and his group had to leave, Li Ye saw several people from Southwest Heavy Truck who were "reluctant to leave" some KAMAZ research samples.
Wu Yan immediately came up to Li Ye and whispered, "Director Li, it seems we were right. These people are not here to visit, but to steal things."
That was what “visits” were like in the 1980s and 1990s.
Li Ye has been working for six years and has received at least thirty visiting groups, if not fifty. It is no exaggeration to say that no more than one-tenth of them actually learn something seriously during the visits. Most people look forward to the subsequent hospitality and farewell gifts.
So even Wu Yan noticed the strangeness of these people.
After all, an expert can tell whether something exists or not just by stretching out his hand. The focus of these people is precisely the difficulty of the Kamaz project.
"Hehe~"
Li Ye smiled softly and said, "If he manages to steal the things, forget about your bonus this quarter."
Wu Yan curled his lips and said contemptuously: "Don't talk to me about bonuses all day long. Even if I don't take a penny of salary, I will not give our things to thieves."
"Okay, as long as you know the number."
Li Ye was still very confident in Wu Yan. From the first day when the technical department of the first branch was established, Li Ye established a relevant confidentiality mechanism, which was later improved by Wu Yan in all blind spots, basically eliminating 99% of prying eyes.
Just like the difficulties that those people from Southwest Heavy Truck were concerned about, they had actually been dealt with by Wu Yan, either vaguely or by directing the technical thinking in other directions.
Unless someone has excellent skills and squats on the ground to study it carefully for a long time, it is difficult to see the real thing.
Of course, there are some "window paper" parts in the Kamaz project that cannot withstand the prying eyes of technical experts, but unfortunately, Wu Yan removed that part in advance, and outsiders cannot see it at all.
After the group finished looking at the Kamaz project, there was nothing else to see, so they were about to leave.
But at this time, Shang Bin asked curiously: "Director Li, I heard that your company has four or five hundred engineers, why doesn't it look like that many? Is there any other place we haven't visited yet?"
Li Ye glanced at Shang Bin and said with a smile, "We have four or five hundred technical personnel, but not all of them are R&D engineers. After all, both the workshop and after-sales service require technical personnel, so it is definitely impossible to concentrate them in one place."
Shang Bin raised the corner of his mouth and said with a playful smile, "Really? Then I must have heard wrongly. Someone said that you have over 470 people working in R&D alone, and if you include the technicians in other positions, you have nearly a thousand people!"
At this time, Judge Yao, who had not spoken much since the beginning of the visit, finally looked over.
The smile on Li Ye's face grew even wider, but he began to sneer in his heart.
[Who the hell did you hear that from? Niu Hongzhang?]
There are indeed four to five hundred R&D positions in the first branch factory, including college and technical school students, "work-for-work" personnel promoted from the grassroots, such as the seventh-level worker Master Lao Mu, and extremely talented workers like Chen Yazhi.
In a technical department with such a complex composition, people are often transferred to other branches. Except for a few people such as Li Ye, Lu Zhizhang and Wu Yan, the exact number of people cannot be known. How could Shang Bin, a pure outsider, have such a grasp of the situation?
Moreover, Shang Bin said this in front of Yao Ting, which clearly meant that he was telling Director Yao that he was being secretive and did not regard Director Yao as a cadre!
[This kind of person is ten times more difficult to deal with and ten times more hateful than Niu Hongzhang.]
Perhaps it was because the Light Automobile Company had made a big mistake in the past that the higher-ups sent Niu Hongzhang, such a distinctive "role model", to take control of the situation.
Niu Hongzhang practices the way of a "sage" and is extremely strict with himself, but even when Li Ye slams the table and curses at Niu Hongzhang, he does not feel any psychological pressure at all.
But when it comes to the level of fighting with his own people, Li Ye thinks that he is still a long way from the former factory manager, and is not comparable to someone like Shang Bin who is thick-skinned and black-hearted.
Looking at Shang Bin in front of him, although Li Ye hated him very much, due to the saying "don't hit a smiling person", he could only play the intrigue he hated the most with him.
"Mr. Shang, our R&D departments are actually very scattered. We have them in Shunyi, Dongshan, and Xicheng, so of course there aren't that many left here.
Southwest Heavy Duty Truck is a leader among domestic heavy-duty truck companies. We are very much attracted by your heavy-duty truck technology and experience.
Mr. Shang just said that both our companies need to learn from each other, so today we've mainly arranged visits and discussions related to KAMAZ. Now that the visits are over, we should at least leave some time for discussions, right?"
Director Yao's expression eased, because he and the people from Southwest Heavy Truck came here today just to discuss something with the Light Truck Company.
Shang Bin reacted quickly. As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, he burst into a hearty laugh.
"Haha, really? Director Li's words really put us to shame. We have some experience in heavy trucks, but we can't be called the best in the country. But since Director Li said so, none of us can hide anything, right?"
"Then I definitely can't keep it secret, hahaha~"
【I'll hide your sister! 】
Li Ye also smiled with a twitch of his face.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." He and Shang Bin had only been in contact for a short while, but he had already learned to fake a smile.
But Shang Bin's smile was even brighter than Li Ye's. He pointed to the innermost workshop and said, "Director Li, I heard you just started a new project. Can you give us a tour? You can't keep it secret."
“.”
The smile on Li Ye's face didn't change at all, but his back teeth were clenched tightly together.
The innermost workshop is the dedicated research and development area for the "Akina Mountain God Car" and it is locked today.
But Shang Bin pointed it out clearly.
Director Yao asked with a half-smile, "Yeah, does the first branch have a new project? That's great news! In the past two years, the first branch has had a new project every year, which is really proud of us."
Li Ye lowered his brows and smiled softly.
"I really can't hide it from you all. We do have a new project. We're still applying for a patent, so we've kept it private to prevent any accidents. But since everyone is interested, we won't hide it today."
Yao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and was about to say "No need to read it".
But Li Ye had already raised his head and pointed at the big lock.
"Open the door."
As the saying goes, one should not put on shoes in a melon field, and one should not adjust his hat under a plum tree. Now you know about my new project, and you must also know that it is a confidential project, but you still have to see whether you are ready to assume certain responsibilities?
Especially Director Yao, since you are involved, come in together!
You'd better make sure that there is no problem with my patent application. If there is any problem with my patent application, I will come to you.
You've seen it all, and you say it's none of your business? What proof do you have?
