Chapter 1507 I Won’t Serve You
Deputy General Manager Fan's words not only changed Li Ye's expression, but also Lu Zhizhang and Manager Jiao's expressions.
Lu Zhizhang has been a cadre since he started working. He has worked hard for more than 20 years to reach his current position. He has seen many people like Fan Hongqi who act pretentiously. He has even done some pretentious things. He knows all the truths and falsehoods very well.
Manager Jiao's expression changed because he felt something was going to go wrong. Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were obviously not the type to swallow their anger.
Manager Jiao came along today to liven up the atmosphere and build relationships. If Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang overturned the table, she, as a public relations officer, would definitely "lose points" when she returned.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, our Mr. Fan is a military man, and he's always straightforward. Furthermore, in the military, who commands whom is a very serious issue, so Mr. Fan takes it very seriously."
"But honestly, this is all my fault. Wang Po just felt that the alcohol in the capital was too strong, so I couldn't handle it for a moment and complained a few times, which caused General Manager Fan, General Manager Li, and General Manager Lu to misunderstand. I'll drink a glass as a punishment to apologize to the leaders."
Seeing Manager Jiao picking up the glass and about to drink more, Lu Zhizhang smiled and said, "Manager Jiao, you misunderstood. We didn't think you did anything wrong. On the contrary, it was our inconsiderateness. We shouldn't have served strong liquor to female comrades. This was our mistake."
"Chuckle, chuckle~"
Manager Jiao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding. I felt it was too strong when I first drank it, but after a while, I felt my whole body was clear, warm and comfortable.
So although this wine is strong, it also has its own characteristics, and it has its own advantages over Maozi's soft and long-lasting wine.
In fact, wine is like people. Someone with a straightforward personality like our Manager Fan may offend others unknowingly, but he is more down-to-earth and trustworthy.
"Hahaha, what Manager Jiao said is very interesting."
Manager Jiao's words finally turned the atmosphere at the banquet around. Lu Zhizhang laughed out of courtesy, and Fan Hongqi's expression also looked better.
Only Li Ye remained calm, his expression neither sad nor happy. He asked, "Boss Fan, our Boss Ma told me yesterday that you're going to provide us with heavy truck production parts. I'm not sure what those parts are, and do you have a specific price?"
Fan Hongqi looked at Li Ye and said, "I've heard that Mr. Li's factory is very efficient. Today I see that it's really as good as it is.
Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise Mr. Li would have been embarrassed. Xiao Xu, quickly give Mr. Li the quotation."
Li Ye took the quotation and said calmly, "Boss Fan, please don't say that. The first branch belongs to the state, not to me, Li Ye."
Fan Hongqi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely: "Haha, Mr. Li, you are too modest."
Li Ye looked at Fan Hongqi and also smiled strangely.
[Am I too modest? Or are you too envious?]
Li Ye said that the first branch is a national branch, which is correct.
And Fan Hongqi said that the first branch factory is Li Ye’s branch factory, which also makes sense.
Unlike some state-owned factory directors who have been running their units for decades and treating state-owned assets as private property, Li Ye has invested countless real money in a branch factory, and these contributions are clearly seen by a group of bigwigs.
Otherwise, what scale would the first branch have now? The tens of thousands of workers there were state assets, so why was it Li Ye's personal property? There were many children with similar backgrounds to Wen Leyu and Wen Guohua, but did they receive the same treatment?
So it’s useless for Fan Hongqi to be envious. He has neither the ability nor the capital. What’s the point of being envious?
Li Ye looked at the quotation sheet for a few minutes and couldn't help but frowned.
This offer is simply too dark.
Although after more than ten years of inflation, it is no longer the era of "Liberation trucks costing 18,000 yuan", the price of various materials and components has increased significantly.
However, if we purchase components according to the prices on this quotation, the heavy trucks we produce will not only be "one truck is equivalent to three trucks" as Director Tan said, but even if we sell them at the price of four trucks, we still don't know whether we can make a profit.
[You guys aren't planning to ask for a sky-high price and then pay it back later, right?]
【I'll pay your sister back.】
Li Ye threw down the quotation sheet and said in a deep voice, "This offer is too high. We can't accept it."
Fan Hongqi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Boss Li, you've only been watching for a few minutes, don't be so hasty to draw conclusions!"
Manager Jiao also smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Li, the cost of heavy trucks is different from that of light trucks. Our components are all made with foreign technology, but our quotation is only one-third of the imported ones, so our quotation is very conscientious."
Li Ye looked at Manager Jiao in surprise, wanting to confirm whether she was joking.
When you introduce foreign technology, do you start matching import prices? Do you still have to pay in US dollars?
Moreover, according to this quotation, Fan Hongqi has mastered the essence of the joint venture's approach. He has made enough money for the entire vehicle just from the supply chain of parts, and the profit left for the vehicle manufacturer may be only a fraction.
So Li Ye shook his head seriously and said, "Boss Fan, that's not how you calculate it. A heavy truck is not a car. It's not a consumer product. It's a business tool. You have to calculate the payback period.
If we purchase parts according to this quotation sheet, our vehicle will not be popular in the market. We can't do business that will lose money, right? "
"Pay compensation? How can you pay compensation?"
Mr. Fan said with a smile: "The supply management of Light Automobile Company is the most advanced in the industry, and the level of cost control is first-class in China.
"You also have the best after-sales service in the country. Jingcheng brand salespeople are all eloquent and can sell stones for the price of gold. So, how could you possibly lose money?"
[My pretty mom, you want us to make money for you?]
Li Ye finally understood. Both Fan Hongqi and Director Tan were kind enough to calculate the cost for Li Ye. However, after Director Tan calculated the result, he was certain that Li Ye "would win."
However, after calculation, Fan Hongqi regarded the first branch factory as their "outsourced labor."
This is just like what those big platforms will do decades later, using big data computing models to calculate the costs of merchants and drivers in advance, leaving you only a little soup to survive, and not a single bite of meat.
Manager Jiao saw that Li Ye was obviously unhappy, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Li, don't rush to draw conclusions. We are just here to make a preliminary move. The specific details of the cooperation still need to be discussed slowly."
How about this! The day after tomorrow, your Secretary Shang and our General Manager Zhai will arrive in Beijing. We can sit together then. If you have any concerns, you can raise them and let the leaders help you resolve them.”
"the day after tomorrow?"
Li Ye raised his eyelids and said coldly: "I'm not free the day after tomorrow."
Fan Hongqi was stunned.
He had heard that Li Ye was "arrogant and domineering" a long time ago, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant and domineering.
Do you know what you are talking about?
The heads of two large groups are about to start talks, and you, a henchman, actually say you are busy?
Fan Hongqi was stunned for several seconds, then couldn't help laughing and said, "Deputy General Manager Li, what do you mean by no time?"
Li Ye said calmly: "I have something going on at home."
Fan Hongqi finally broke down: "You... work should be more important, right?"
Li Ye raised his lips and said, "Everything should be done on a first come first served basis. I applied for leave in advance and submitted the note a long time ago."
I just don’t want to serve you, what can you do?
