Chapter 1562 Is her wife living abroad?
On Monday, Li Ye finally received a call from Dong Shan.
"Hey, Li Ye, this is Dong Shan! Yesterday, Secretary Shang called me, saying that a loan detail from our side made you furious."
I'm completely baffled. I just asked the finance department to sort out the accounts as soon as possible; I had no idea about that 18 million thing.”
Li Ye calmly said, "It's understandable that you don't know, because it happened before you took office and has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about it. Just let the people who handled it before you be investigated."
[Investigate my ass! If you investigate any further, we'll all be arrested. Are you leaving me all alone?]
Dong Shan was so angry that he cursed under his breath.
After being "appointed to Southwest Heavy Truck in a time of crisis," he finally understood the difficulties of being the head of a unit.
The top leader must be able to handle everything independently, manage all interpersonal relationships, and coordinate interests from all sides. Just like a mother-in-law in a large family, the eldest son and his wife come to complain every day, and you have to arrange things clearly for them.
Previously, Dong Shan worked under others and was restricted and constrained in every way. He always thought that one day when he took charge, he would no longer suffer such humiliation, and he would be clear-headed and decisive, managing the unit in an orderly manner.
However, after Dong Shan took over the Southwest Heavy Truck factory, which employed tens of thousands of people, he developed a splitting headache within just one month.
Dong Shan wasn't thinking about radical reforms; he just wanted to replicate the experience of the branch factory. And the people he brought did indeed make some progress.
However, the burden accumulated over decades by tens of thousands of employees at Southwest Heavy Truck was too heavy, and all sorts of problems kept arising, holding Dong Shan back.
At this moment, Dong Shancai deeply understood why Li Ye, despite achieving so much along the way, was still willing to serve as a "deputy."
Although the power of a deputy is limited, they can accumulate experience under the tutelage of Ma Zhaoxian and Lu Zhizhang. When they are officially appointed as deputies, many seemingly complex problems will become immediately clear.
Many incredibly difficult problems can be tackled decisively: what should be abandoned should be abandoned, and what should be fought for should be fought for.
More importantly, Li Ye had a loyal team of people who were willing to "fight together," unlike Dong Shan, who relied entirely on "recruiting" others.
It's easy to have things readily available, but expecting them to function efficiently and effectively is asking too much.
So if Dong Shan were to investigate Southwest Heavy Truck's old accounts again now, the people would be in a state of panic, and it would probably really fall apart.
Dong Shan tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Li Ye, we don't want this 18 million."
"You don't want it anymore? How can that be?"
Li Ye said with utmost righteousness, "That's eighteen million, eighteen million of the country's money! You can't be so foolish!"
Dong Shan was so angry that he almost slammed down the phone. He said through gritted teeth, "Of course, I will definitely get this money back. However, there is a cause for every grievance, and I will not go after the branch factory."
Li Ye laughed and said, "Then you'd better hurry up, otherwise Jin Hong might have already run away abroad."
Dong Shan coldly replied, "You don't need to worry about that. You should be concerned about the prototype comparison test now."
Li Ye curled his lips into a threatening smile and said, "Old Dong, you still haven't given up on the idea of testing the prototype?"
Dong Shan remained silent for several seconds before calmly saying, "Li Ye, the prototype comparison test will definitely be held; this is everyone's opinion."
The smile vanished from Li Ye's face, and he said coldly, "But no one has asked for my opinion, so does that mean I'm not one of 'everyone'?"
Dong Shan remained silent for a long time before finally hanging up the phone.
Southwest Heavy Truck urgently needs an inspiring achievement to dispel the gloom over the heads of tens of thousands of employees. Therefore, Dong Shan believes that Li Ye's opinion is not important at all, and he must obey the overall situation.
However, on Tuesday, Director Xue still called Li Ye to ask for Li Ye's "opinion".
Li Ye stated bluntly, "Director Xue, given the current situation at Southwest Heavy Truck, it's not suitable for us to lead the research and development and production of new heavy trucks. Our branch factory's research and development is progressing smoothly; we only need one year."
"But it hasn't been a year in the southwest!"
Xue Si interrupted Li Ye and sighed, "Li Ye, I know your dedication and feelings for the Kamaz project, but now Southwest Heavy Truck needs to expand its production scale as soon as possible to change the current dire situation."
Your branch factory has experience in using a point-to-area production model, and you have enough technical personnel. You can easily lead Southwest Heavy Truck to develop, just like you did with the main factory of the Light Vehicle Company before!
“.”
Li Ye remained silent for a long time.
Xue Si meant that Southwest Heavy Truck should not only adopt mature technical solutions and start production as soon as possible, but also that the First Branch should use its own technical strength to "help" the Southwest expand production.
The situation in the southwest is rotten to the core. Without the help of the branch factory, it would be difficult to increase the scale of production.
But if you're going to get help from a branch factory, why not produce your own car models? Why be dependent on others?
Finally, Li Ye firmly stated, "Director Xue, we demand an absolutely fair prototype test, not just a formality like Dong Shan suggested."
Xue Si decisively replied, "Of course, we just changed the testing plan. Instead of testing in Beijing, we'll test at Jilin Motors to ensure impartiality. Is that alright?"
【I can do that!】
Li Ye's face darkened when he heard that he was going to the Jilin Automobile Factory for testing.
This seems like they've found a "third-party organization" to uphold justice, but they've actually invited a tiger. You're asking for fairness in a tiger's den, aren't you?
...
On Saturday, Li Ye set off north to supervise the comparative testing of prototype vehicles by Southwest Heavy Truck and its First Plant. When he boarded the plane at the airport, he was surprised to find that Zhuo Minglan was also boarding the plane to Kunming.
Li Ye was very surprised because Zhuo Minglan had only been working for a year and definitely did not meet the standards and level required for flying.
Li Ye then asked Shang Bin's assistant, Geng Yunping, what was going on.
To everyone's surprise, Geng Yunping said nonchalantly, "Deputy General Manager Li probably doesn't know yet, but the country has lifted restrictions on airfare purchases this year. From now on, it's not just county-level officials who can fly; ordinary people can fly too."
Li Ye's eyes widened immediately: "Oh~, there's such a good thing? Then our testing staff from the first factory can also go by plane! That's great!"
Geng Yunping's face immediately fell, and he lowered his voice and said, "President Li, Zhuo Minglan took a plane this time because Secretary Shang said that we should take care of women. It's not appropriate for so many technical staff in the First Factory to take planes."
"Hahaha, I was just kidding, just pretend I didn't see it."
Li Ye laughed exaggeratedly, but his sarcasm was undisguised.
Although the government did abolish the requirement for a letter of introduction to purchase airline tickets in 1993, allowing ordinary citizens to buy tickets simply by presenting their ID cards or other valid documents, and civil aviation began to become more accessible to the general public, Zhuo Minglan clearly wouldn't pay for her own plane ticket.
So, those testing personnel from the first factory who went to Kunming were still required to adhere to the reimbursement standards for hard seats and hard sleepers. Is this a case of double standards, or is there some unspeakable secret at play?
Li Ye suddenly remembered something and asked Geng Yunping mischievously, "Assistant Geng, when is Secretary Shang going to Kunming?"
Geng Yunping pursed his lips and said, "Tomorrow, Secretary Shang's flight was yesterday."
Li Ye nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Assistant Geng, Secretary Shang's wife is abroad, right?"
“.”
Geng Yunping pursed his lips, remained silent, and looked away, not daring to respond to Li Ye's words.
Don't you, Li Ye, understand the rule of "pointing out the truth but not saying it outright"?
