Chapter 1381 Never owe
Li Ye sat quietly in the corner, observing the facial expressions of every speaker in the conference room, gaining experience for future trials.
In such occasions, everyone who is qualified to speak is a high-end player who has fought his way out of various dungeons. As long as you learn a little from them, you may benefit from it for the rest of your life.
However, Li Ye did not expect that just as the meeting was coming to an end, he actually got the opportunity to speak.
A director named Wan Zhenyang suddenly said: "The current business situation of the Light Automobile Company is good, especially the first branch factory, which has a profit of 70%.
However, they have Hong Kong-funded shares and loans, so negotiations might be a bit troublesome. Is the person in charge of one of the branches present today?"
Several people in the conference room looked at Li Ye.
In recent years, the First Branch has indeed been "very lively", with outstanding achievements and various things happening one after another. Many people have been to the First Branch and of course know Deputy Director Li Yeli.
Li Ye looked at Ma Zhaoxian again, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking on his behalf, he raised his hand to indicate his presence.
"Hello, Director Wan, I'm Li Ye from the Light Automobile Company. I was previously in charge of technology and marketing at the First Branch."
Wan Zhenyang raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Well, since you're here, tell me your opinion. If the Light Automobile Company participates in the group merger, how should the foreign investment issue of the first branch be handled?"
Li Ye listened to Wan Zhenyang's serious tone and felt a little surprised at first, then a little amused.
Because everyone knows that the first branch is a "special case", shouldn't this kind of thing be communicated privately first and then discussed in public?
Not only did Li Ye not get any advance news, but the Hong Kong capital is not on the scene yet. What advice do you want me to give you?
"Could it be that he wants me to dump the Hong Kong investment, clean up the tables, and start over with a new clientele? Then why would I bother? Why not just dump me too?"
The first branch is the most valuable and high-quality asset within the Light Automobile Company. Li Ye wanted to separate it out, but was restricted by the high threshold of the automobile industry and it was difficult to obtain a production license, so he had to "get along" with the state-owned enterprise.
But now from what he said, is he going to get rid of Hong Kong capital?
Li Ye was not entirely sure of the other party's intentions, so he said carefully: "Because our first branch is a pilot unit for reform, our superiors gave us enough freedom and authority. At that time, Hong Kong Island was determined to return to China in 1997, so we boldly introduced Hong Kong capital.
Over the years, Hong Kong capital has attached great importance to and supported the first branch factory. This support is not only financial, but also technical. The new electronic injection gasoline engine that is about to be finalized at the first branch factory has received great help from Hong Kong capital.
In short, with our full support in many aspects, the first branch has achieved certain results and has a long-term and clear development plan for the future.
I believe Hong Kong investors will support our plans to grow bigger and stronger, as no one wants to disappoint everyone’s expectations.”
“.”
Li Ye's words were meant to indirectly indicate the importance of Hong Kong capital to the first branch. However, after Li Ye finished speaking, Wan Zhenyang said calmly, "Aren't you answering the question a bit off topic? I'm asking you how to deal with the Hong Kong capital in this merger."
“.”
Li Ye raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Although we have an agreement with Hong Kong investors, as long as it is a win-win situation, I think anything can be discussed."
Wan Zhenyang's eyes sharpened: "The purpose of win-win? What is win-win?"
Li Ye said frankly: "The current situation of the first branch is a win-win situation. The unit is profitable, the workers are in high spirits, and all parties support us. The unit has sufficient development potential."
“.”
Wan Zhenyang looked at Li Ye and stopped finding fault.
Because Li Ye's words were almost like saying "If you want to change, you will be responsible if there is any responsibility."
Although the first branch was originally a pilot unit for reform and could accept certain setbacks, the current situation is that the transformation of the first branch has been too successful, and everyone seems to have forgotten that reform can also fail.
Just like a top student, no one can accept a sudden drop in grades.
If a demonstration unit like this encounters a bad incident due to someone's fault, it will be impossible for the unit to avoid responsibility.
. . . . . . . . . . .
After the meeting, Ma Zhaoxian called Li Ye into his car and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to talk to the Hong Kong investors and hear their opinions?"
Li Ye shook his head gently and said, "Why not for now? We haven't even started the merger yet! I guess once there's some progress, the ministry will definitely notify Hong Kong investors to participate."
Li Ye knew what Ma Zhaoxian meant. He wanted the Hong Kong investors to protest now. After all, Hong Kong investors should have a say in this kind of merger. However, he remembered what Mr. Ke had told him, "Don't be hasty," and decided to wait and see.
Ma Zhaoxian nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right. Given our efficiency, we can't confirm it in a short time. It would be bad if the Hong Kong investors knew about it in advance. They are too impatient."
Sure enough, when Li Ye returned home and told Wen Leyu what happened today, Wen Leyu was very surprised and said, "Are you trying to save us trouble? Are you so considerate?"
The loan for Li Ye's branch factory at Sino-Singapore Bank was handled by "Xiao Zhong". Xiao Zhong and Wen Leyu were "old friends", so even if Li Ye didn't tell Wen Leyu, Wen Leyu knew that the branch factory was the lifeblood of the Light Automobile Company.
Now some people actually want to single out one factory and talk about the issue. Isn't that like asking for trouble?
Li Ye thought for a while and said: "They don't have a deep understanding of the first branch. They think that now that the first branch has grown stronger, it no longer needs the support of Hong Kong capital. They don't understand the supervisory and restraining role of Hong Kong capital in the first branch.
But if we want to separate a branch factory, it would be like digging up a cash cow, and there will definitely be great resistance."
In the past two years, there have been people who wanted to get their hands on the first branch factory. Niu Hongzhang once wanted to use the first branch factory for his own purposes, but failed due to protests from Hong Kong investors.
It can be said that if there were no constraints from Hong Kong capital, the entire set of rules currently in operation in a branch factory would be slowly taken over by those of state-owned enterprises until they were completely changed beyond recognition.
Wen Leyu smiled and said, "It's normal to have resistance! But aren't there people helping us solve this resistance? If Southwest Heavy Duty Truck still can't get out of this mess, then it will definitely have to be split up. If one company splits two companies, then splitting three companies is also splitting them, right?"
“.”
Li Ye was shocked and suddenly realized.
After he understood the past experience of Southwest Heavy Duty Truck, he was very resistant to the merger of the two companies, but he never expected that Mr. Ke had already planned everything.
Anyway, Southwest Heavy Duty Truck has always been a company that does more harm than good, so it is only natural that you mess things up again this time. When you split up again, won't it be easier for one factory to become independent?
Li Ye had to admire this vision of looking three steps ahead.
But Li Ye had brought in the Kamaz project with great difficulty. If he wanted to achieve this goal, did he have to secretly obstruct it and drag Southwest Heavy Duty Truck to death?
For a moment, Li Ye didn't know what to do.
When Li Ye talked about those classic cases of "turning losses into profits", he despised them for harming the public interest and enriching themselves.
A large enterprise suffered losses for many years, but turned losses into profits in the same year after privatization. What kind of magical operation is this?
But this operation is now going to fall on Li Ye's head?
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye, curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, my mother and I know your character. At most, we will only take our share, and we won't take a penny from the public. Don't worry now?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
I'm really being too picky. A branch factory was built from scratch, and all I got was 200,000 yuan in support. Shouldn't I just pay it back ten or a hundred times that when the time comes?
As for the contributions of the vast majority of employees, Li Ye will lead them to prosperity in the future and will never owe them anything.
