Chapter 373: Of course, the more the better, your grandfather
“Where can you find something like that?”
Technician Xiao Liu couldn't help but say: "Zhuangyuanlang, as the saying goes, it's hard to please everyone.
There are so many provinces and cities in the country, and everyone's tastes are different. If you want to achieve the standards you require, I don't know how much time and market research costs will be spent.
We have already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on research, and we haven’t seen any return on our investment yet!”
“Yes, there must be something like that.”
Li Ye was very sure, because in later generations there was a type of instant noodles that, with the momentum of "unifying the world", seized the markets across the country in a short period of time and established a solid position as the market leader.
It is "Uni-President Braised Beef Noodles".
This dish of braised beef noodles suits the tastes of more than 80 percent of the mainland's population. As its production volume expands to an astonishing level, the production costs will naturally be diluted and compressed to an astonishingly low level.
Therefore, the listing standards for "Qingshui Brand" braised beef noodles were what Li Ye suggested to the Hong Kong side, and Pei Wencong asked the Hong Kong manager to strictly implement them.
Li Zhongfa had no idea that the problem that had troubled him for a long time was caused by his own grandson.
Li Zhongfa looked at the determined Li Ye and asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Ye, this is not a trivial matter. If it fails, the economic and human losses will be very large. Are you sure you want to continue the research and make improvements?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are under pressure from above, right? Since the Hong Kong side is not satisfied, let them bear the pressure."
Li Zhongfa also smiled and said, "You are a smart kid, your grandfather can still bear a little pressure.
I care about the livelihoods of hundreds of people in the factory, and the money from Hong Kong didn’t just come out of nowhere, right? "
It is indeed not blown by the wind. It was picked up by your grandson from the futures market. It is not much different from being blown by the wind.
Li Ye looked at Li Zhongfa's eyes and guessed that the old man was also anxious.
There are people from the food system and my own grandson involved. I can’t afford to lose money on my own!
Li Ye thought about it and decided to tell his grandfather the truth.
"Grandpa, Hong Kong is investing in Qingshui County not for the surrounding land. Qingshuihe's goal is definitely to target the whole country.
If there is no product that can be shown off, then all the investment from Hong Kong will be wasted and meaningless.”
“For the whole country?”
Li Zhongfa pondered Li Ye's meaning for a while, then turned around and asked technician Xiao Liu to leave first.
Then he asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Xiao Ye, do you mean that this joint venture will continue to grow in the future?"
"Of course," Li Ye said with a smile, "If there were only a few hundred people in the factory, you wouldn't be satisfied with managing them!"
Li Ye once said that after Li Zhongfa retires, he will let him be the Hong Kong manager, so the Qingshuihe Food Company will still be run by his grandfather in the future.
Li Zhongfa has experience working in the mainland, and will be able to better coordinate the relationship between the two sides at that time. He must ensure his own interests while not taking advantage of the situation and discouraging the mainland party.
Li Zhongfa's eyes lit up, but he still asked calmly, "So how many people are suitable for this factory?"
Li Ye said directly: "When Pengcheng Seventh Factory started, there were only a few hundred people. Now there are almost more than 50,000 people. Hao Jian is just a junior high school student! Grandpa, you have been practicing for decades. How many soldiers do you think you can lead?"
"How many soldiers can I lead? Humph~"
Li Zhongfa finally revealed his inner ambitions, and said with great pride: "As long as it is possible, of course it will be Han Xin who selects soldiers, the more the better."
. . . . . . .
Li Ye stayed in the instant noodle factory for a whole day and explained a series of questions to Li Zhongfa.
Because the differences in understanding and understanding between Hong Kong and Qingshui County are not just about product taste.
There are some different opinions on other aspects of production, human resource management, and wages and salaries.
After all, Li Zhongfa is an old man who has been managing businesses in the mainland for his entire life. He naturally has some habits unique to the mainland and it is impossible for him to be completely in harmony with the Hong Kong side's management philosophy.
But now that I have listened to Li Ye, let’s not argue about any differences and just listen to Li Ye!
If the hygiene standards are not up to standard, listen to Li Ye.
The dust level in the workshop exceeds the standard, listen to Li Ye.
The finished product warehouse does not meet international standards, so listen to Li Ye.
What Sun Zi said was right. Who asked him to give the money?
But it was the last one that Li Zhongfa sternly rejected Li Ye.
Salaries were paid today, and Li Ye looked at the wages of the workers in the instant noodle factory and felt that they could be increased by another ten or twenty yuan based on performance.
But Li Zhongfa said, "With the current salary standard, I don't know how many favors I have pushed. If the salary increases by another 20 yuan, do you know how many evildoers will come to me?"
Li Ye didn't think so much about it. After all, he always felt that the more requirements he had, the higher the pay. Since he had raised the standards for the workers, he had to raise their wages reasonably.
Those who make empty promises all day long, make workers work overtime and tire themselves out, run small and micro enterprises like big factories, but in the end pay ordinary wages, are all useless.
However, when Li Ye went off work with the workers of the instant noodle factory, his mood changed a little.
Hundreds of young workers in uniform had happy looks on their faces.
These workers are all young people who have passed the cultural examination. They will also serve as the grassroots management reserves for the company's future growth. Judging from their work attitude, they should be okay.
When he arrived at the bicycle shed in front of the factory gate, Li Ye found that most people had a bicycle, and they were playing and joking around, full of energy, and their happiness index was quite high.
Li Ye also rode a bicycle today. He could have sat in Li Zhongfa's car, but the distance between them was not far, so there was no need to risk being gossiped about.
"Xiao Xiaoye?"
As soon as Li Ye pushed out his bicycle, he heard someone calling him.
When I looked back, I felt that he looked familiar. After thinking carefully, wasn't this my "Uncle Xiao Gu"?
During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Gu and his mother went to Li Ye's house, hoping to ask Li Zhongfa for help in getting a job in the factory as a worker. Others complained about this and that, and said it was too hard and tiring, but Xiao Gu was very down-to-earth, and he did the job as a construction worker without any complaints.
Now looking at the formal work uniform on Xiao Gu, he must have worked hard.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Uncle Xiaogu, did you just get off work?"
Xiao Gu's face froze, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Don't call me uncle, we are actually quite far away."
"No, we can't mess up the seniority," Li Ye said, "Where are you going? I remember your home is very far away, don't you live in the dormitory?"
Xiao Gu smiled with some satisfaction and said, "I got my salary today. I'm going home to give it back to my mother."
Li Ye nodded, this Xiao Gu is a filial child.
Although Xiao Gu is Li Ye's uncle, he is younger than Li Ye. A child of this age is the only pillar of the family.
If you listen to other workers, you will find that after receiving their salary, they will go out to drink at this restaurant or eat at that restaurant, but after receiving his salary, he just remembers to go home immediately.
Li Ye and Xiao Gu left the factory only to find that Xiao Gu didn't have a bicycle.
So he said, "You can ride my bike back home! Just return it tomorrow. You know where to go."
As a result, Xiao Gu said awkwardly: "I don't know how to ride a bicycle yet!"
“.”
Li Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll take you for a while, and then you can walk on your own when you reach the west of the city."
Xiao Gu hesitated for a moment before nodding awkwardly.
But before Li Ye could even get on his bike, he heard the sound of engines in front of him. Many young workers stopped, blocking his way.
Li Ye is tall, so he stood on tiptoe to take a look, and then he saw a Jialing CJ50 motorcycle that was very contemporary.
This motorcycle can be called the "people's sports car" of the 1980s.
Most people cannot afford the Xingfu 250 which costs several thousand yuan, but this light motorcycle that looks like plastic only costs a few thousand yuan, so grandparents, parents gritted their teeth and bought it for their son.
The reason why Li Ye has a deep understanding of this motorcycle is that when he was a child, this motorcycle was still on the market.
In addition, 22 years later, I saw one on the road. The rate of people turning around to look at it was much higher than that of the A6, and the owner of the car was very pretentious, which shows how deep the mark of the times was.
However, the one who was riding on the Jialing CJ50 and showing off was Lu Jingyao's younger brother Lu Zixue.
Seeing Li Ye looking at her a few more times, Xiao Gu also stood on tiptoe to look inside, and then said, "That child is here to pick up Gao Xiaoyan. He has been coming to pick her up these past few days."
"Who is Gao Xiaoyan? Do you know her?"
"Not really acquaintance," Xiao Gu said in a low voice, "Gao Xiaoyan is from the laboratory department of the factory. I heard that she failed the college entrance examination for two years and joined our factory as a worker this year.
The guy riding the Jialing seems to be Gao Xiaoyan's classmate. Gao Xiaoyan has been asking for leave to go out and play with him these days."
"Oh~"
Li Ye nodded and pushed the cart forward indifferently.
He and the Lu family were already two people on parallel paths. Even if they saw each other from afar, they would just ignore each other.
Unless Lu Zixue is looking for death.
Lu Zixue didn't seek death, but when Li Ye and Xiao Gu passed by him, he deliberately stepped on the accelerator of the Jialing car.
"Buzz~"
Li Ye subconsciously dodged for a moment. He was really afraid that this guy would drive the car into a tree.
As for the Jialing CJ50, you shouldn't play it like this even if you squeeze the brakes.
Lu Zixue glanced at Li Ye triumphantly, as if he had taken revenge.
[Didn’t you have a 26 Phoenix before? I have a Jialing now. ]
But Li Ye didn't even look back at him. He got on his bike and left with Xiao Gu.
This indifferent attitude made Lu Zixue very uncomfortable.
Why don't you accept the challenge? How can I show off if you don't accept the challenge?
But how could he know that Li Ye had a Ferrari that had been gathering dust in a garage in Hong Kong Island!
So you got a Jialing car to show off?
"Self-study, what are you looking at?"
When Lu Zixue was feeling depressed, a pretty girl came over and sat naturally in the back seat of his Jialing car.
The frustration in Lu Zixue's heart immediately disappeared and he became full of confidence.
When Lu Zixue had 26 Phoenix, he invited Gao Xiaoyan to take his car and take her home, but Gao Xiaoyan declined by saying she wanted to "watch a movie".
At that time, Lu Zixue hated his sister Lu Jingyao for breaking up with Li Ye early, leaving him without even enough money for a movie ticket and missing out on his beautiful first love.
But who would have thought that things would take a turn for the better. After Lu Jingyao remitted a sum of foreign currency from Britain, Gao Xiaoyan, who was once out of reach, suddenly became within reach.
Overseas relations work great!
"Come on, let's go to the department store. I got my salary today, so I'm going to buy you a new shirt."
"What good shirts are there in the county department store? Let's go to the capital to buy them. There are foreign exchange stores in the capital where we can buy foreign goods."
Gao Xiaoyan, who was riding on the back seat, was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Going to the capital? That will take several days! And you need a letter of introduction."
"I'll write the letter of introduction, and you just need to come along and have fun."
"All right then!"
Gao Xiaoyan unknowingly found herself sticking to Lu Zixue's back.
Lu Zixue licked his lips to moisturize his lips that were cracked by the wind.
