Chapter 465 Brother, I seem to be corrupted (two in one)
When Li Ye found Li Dayong in a corner of the cafeteria, he was holding a big bowl of rice and wolfing it down.
When he saw Li Ye and Tian Hongshan coming over, he quickly swallowed the rice and vegetables in his mouth and asked Li Ye, "Brother, why are you here? Have you eaten?"
"I'm not hungry," Li Ye sat down in front of Li Dayong and asked, "Looking at the way you eat, did you miss lunch?"
Li Dayong nodded and said, "I didn't have lunch. Guo Tianyong and his team left at once, and I was the only one left on the Hong Kong side. I was really busy, so I was afraid that if I left too, it would be a mess, right?"
"It's a mess?" Li Ye asked solemnly, "Who is in a mess? Is it the workers? Or is it the management?"
"this."
Li Dayong thought about it seriously and said uncertainly: "The workers will definitely not cause trouble. I can't guarantee the management, so it's better to be safe than sorry!"
"Can't guarantee it?" Li Ye said with a smile: "Tell me why you can't guarantee it."
Li Dayong looked at Li Ye and felt that his brother was dissatisfied with him.
Li Ye entrusted such a huge family business in Changbei to Li Dayong to look after, but he just said "I can't guarantee it". What's the use of it?
So Li Dayong whispered, "It's like this, brother. I used to be in charge of the technical department. I was really not busy. But after Guo Tianyong left yesterday, the former managers from Changbei lined up to come to me to report the incident at noon today.
One said that the other was up to no good, and the other said that this one was harboring evil intentions. I was really scared. Do you think I would dare to leave under such circumstances?"
“Heh~”
Li Ye suddenly understood that these people were just trying to fool people by lining up to deceive Li Dayong because he was young!
Li Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "Dayong! If there is emotional instability among the workers, it must be very dangerous and must be taken seriously.
Don't think our workers are hardworking and willing to work hard, but if they can't suppress their anger, a spark can turn into a big fire.
But if you say those informers can rebel, then you think too highly of them. "
In his previous life, Li Ye had the good fortune to experience two large-scale resignation incidents. One was among the workers, and the other was among the miserable middle-level and grassroots management personnel.
These two mass resignation incidents were caused by a seemingly small matter, but it aroused the anger pent up in the hearts of employees, and then the situation got out of control.
But if you say that those people who work from nine to five and read a newspaper and drink a cup of tea every day are causing trouble collectively
Let’s go to Korajiba!
When employees who are busy all day long start to make trouble, they just shout "Brothers, come on!" and then a group of people get carried away and rush forward without thinking about anything. It is normal to smash equipment without considering the consequences.
The second type of people, on the other hand, say, "Come on, bro, we're supporting you from behind." They believe that it is others who benefit from being the first to stand out, and they get to enjoy the shade while others plant trees for them.
"Brother, what you said does make sense," Li Dayong whispered, "but the original management of Changbei collectively boycotted us a few days ago, and now they are suddenly coming to inform on us one by one. I think they are taking the opportunity to divide and win over us!
Although the managers promoted from the workshops these days are very hardworking, they do lack some experience. You also told me that we should learn to beat one faction and pull another.”
"Wow~, I can't believe you, Dayong, learned it so quickly?"
"No, no, no, brother, please stop laughing at me. I'm still thinking about it!"
"You're right. Some people who don't do practical work may not be without real ability. They just didn't have the opportunity before. If you pick and choose from a basket of rotten apricots, you can always pick out a few edible ones."
Those people came to inform on others and to show goodwill, which seemed to be very spineless, but at least they were different from those who were still insisting on confronting the Hong Kong side.
The experience of our ancestors has proven that if you want to manage a team well, you really need to have a few such "bad guys" under your command. They are really useful when facing certain special situations.
"Brother, I thought so too, hehe~"
Li Dayong smiled and said, "Brother, you should go back to Qingshui first! If you feel too tired to drive on the road, I will ask the driver from the factory to go with you, and then he can take the car back."
"No, I can open it myself. Are you going back this year?"
"Let me take a look!" Li Dayong said with some embarrassment: "Originally, I was scheduled to be on duty on the second day of the New Year. If the time is too tight, I won't go back."
"All right then!"
Li Ye stood up to leave, but suddenly thought of something, sat down again and asked, "How many people will be on duty during the Spring Festival? Have you arranged for fire prevention and security personnel?"
There are some things that you must be careful and vigilant about.
After the Hong Kong side gained control of Changbei, a large number of people in the previous bloated management team were destined to be marginalized. Because they had not been "laid off" at this time, there was no way to optimize them all, and they could only be left to eat and wait for death on the fixed salary of Weibo.
But they do not think that this is mercy from the Hong Kong side. Instead, they think that it is a deprivation of their sacred inherent rights and interests. Therefore, some people may become bold and do something weird.
Given that Hong Kong is now enthusiastically supported by frontline workers, a fire in winter may be the most direct, effective and vicious way to break the impasse.
That's why Li Ye specifically asked about fire prevention, which must not be taken lightly.
"Oh, don't say that, brother."
Li Dayong said with a smile: "Last week we issued a notice to form a Spring Festival patrol team, asking workers who have time to join voluntarily, with a subsidy of two yuan a day, and the canteen provides meals and meat but no alcohol. Guess what happened?"
"More than 200 people! More than 200 people came to sign up in just one hour. I ran over and tore up the notice. If I didn't tear it up, 300 or 400 people would not be able to stop me! All for a subsidy of less than 20 yuan."
Li Dayong sighed in distress, and suddenly whispered to Li Ye: "Brother, I suddenly feel that I have become corrupt these days."
Li Ye: “.”
Tian Hongshan coughed, stood up and left. He felt that he should not listen to what was said next.
"A few years ago, my father spent 19 yuan to buy my mother a coat, which made her happy for a long time."
"Twenty yuan can buy more than ten feet of cloth. For someone of my size, I can make a New Year jacket and two pairs of pants. The rest can also buy a big bag of firecrackers."
"That year, I kept a grudge and refused to give my mother the ten yuan lucky money. Then I drew the big harvest lottery for several months but never finished it."
"And that time, brother, you gave me your 26 Phoenix bike to ride, and I rode it around the county town for 18 laps in the middle of winter, but now..."
Li Dayong lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake and was making self-criticism, and said, "I don't even smoke Daqianmen anymore, do I?"
"It's winter now, and I feel cold even when I ride a bicycle. That day, I was working in the factory and I put on the fur work shoes issued to me, but they hurt my feet."
Li Dayong rubbed his face vigorously and said ashamedly: "That day, a few old guys in Changbei called me a capitalist roader and an embezzler. I wanted to scold them back, but I didn't feel confident enough."
“.”
Li Ye lowered his head and looked at Li Dayong's feet.
He wore a pair of large suede leather safety shoes today, but in the past, his shoes were all custom-made calfskin boots prepared for him by Pei Wenhui.
Young people are young people. If they are scolded by a few old guys, they will feel that they are in the wrong.
Li Ye said calmly: "Dayong, look at me. If you are a capitalist roader or an embezzler, then what am I?"
Li Dayong looked at Li Ye blankly, then reacted immediately.
"Brother, I'm not talking about you, you..."
Li Ye was wearing a British wool tweed coat, a cashmere sweater and trousers underneath, and the same shoes as Li Dayong's, both of which were high-end custom-made items mailed by Fan Xiuling from Hong Kong Island. At first glance, they seemed to be not much different from the goods in department stores, but in fact, the price was more than ten times.
Because Pei Wencong had been forcing Fan Xiuling to avoid any contact with Li Ye, the chief designer of Fenghua Clothing could only focus on clothes and shoes. He would send several suitcases of shoes and clothes every season.
Li Ye's, Wen Leyu's, and Li Dayong's are all arranged. Of course, Li Ye's is definitely a little different from others, and the boss's uniqueness must be fully reflected.
Moreover, Fan Xiuling would call Li Ye every few months to discuss fashion trends with him. She also strongly hoped that Li Ye would come over to have his body size remeasured to ensure that subsequent clothes would be 100% comfortable and fit.
So if we talk about corruption, Li Ye is much more corrupt than Li Dayong.
However, Li Ye usually keeps a low profile. He and Wen Leyu usually ride bicycles in Beijing University. Unlike Li Dayong in Changbei, he not only drives a car, but other people also know that he is "very prestigious".
A group of middle-aged and elderly people have to be nice and respectful to a young boy. Doesn't this create a psychological contradiction?
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I know you are not talking about me. Even if you are talking about me, I don't care."
"Your current thoughts are normal, because you suddenly find yourself separated from the masses, right?"
Li Dayong nodded vigorously, indicating that Li Ye guessed correctly.
The education he and Li Ye received since childhood was to unite, unite and unite again. Now he suddenly felt isolated from everyone and it was difficult to quarrel with those people.
"That's because you got rich first," Li Ye said calmly, "the reason they scold you is because the person who got rich first was not him, nor their relatives or nephews, but you, Li Dayong."
“.”
Li Dayong thought about it carefully, then said with relief: "Brother, you are right. Next time they scold me, I will scold them back twice as hard."
"No, no, no, swearing is rude and uncivilized."
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "You need to change your mindset now. If anyone scolds you, you should isolate him from the interest group.
We who are rich first must help others to become rich later, but you must not stop them from showing their noble qualities of hard work and simplicity. "
“.”
Li Dayong was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Brother, what you said seems to be something my grandpa used to do."
Li Ye nodded and smiled: "My grandfather can play too. Believe me, if they were in your position, they would play too."
“.”
. . . . . . . . . . .
The Land Cruiser that Changbei Machinery Company just bought is the LC60, which has six cylinders, four-wheel drive, seven seats, and a high chassis, making it very suitable for the road conditions in the mainland in the early 1980s.
When Li Ye drove away from the factory, the driver of the fleet accompanied him carefully and told Li Ye many things to pay attention to. He felt that he loved the car more than his own son and was afraid that Li Ye would bump into something.
"This car is worth a lot of money! A piece of paint peeling off is worth half a year's salary for me."
The reason why he was nagging like this was because he noticed that after Li Ye took over the car, his eyes were obviously filled with disdain.
This is the car, and you're still dissatisfied?
The Land Cruiser is indeed very famous, but Li Ye has driven Wuling's legendary car before. When he got on the LC60, he found that it was full of plastic and had no ergonomics.
After driving on the road, the power and off-road performance are okay, but the handling feels not as smooth as the third-hand car he once had, and it is even more incomparable to Pei Wenhui's little BMW.
However, this car is indeed sturdy and stable. It carried several classmates and a car full of stuff all the way from the capital back to Qingshui County. Even on the worst road conditions and no matter how hard the gas was, it was as steady as an old dog, which made Fu Yingjie and others envious.
Yan Jinbu couldn't help but say, "This car is really fast, faster than a train. It left in the morning and arrived in Qingshui before dark. Do you think that when our country develops in the future, everyone will be able to drive a car and reach the capital on the same day?"
"What are you thinking about?" Han Xia habitually said, "Hundreds of thousands of dollars for one! How many years will it take you to save up for your 60-yuan salary after graduation?"
"Can't I just think about it? Do you think we could have imagined this situation three or four years ago?"
"Just think about it, you're just daydreaming!"
“.”
Seeing the pair of enemies start bickering with each other, Li Ye could only watch with a smile and had no way of supporting Yan Jinbu.
Because among them, besides Li Ye, Han Xia is the one who "knows cars best".
Han Xia's father is the village's tractor driver. Han Xia can drive a tractor and also knows that the money to buy a tractor is a large amount of money for a village brigade.
Li Ye had no way to correct her inherent ideas. He told her that in a few years, everyone's dream of owning a car would really come true, and it would not take a whole day to get from Qingshui County to the capital. If she left earlier in the morning, she could have lunch in the capital.
After Li Ye sent several classmates home, it was just getting dark.
His two younger sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying, were still waiting for him to come back at the door.
Ever since Li Ye went to Beijing to study, the two sisters would wait for him at the gate whenever they knew the day he would return.
Li Ye had told them several times to just wait in the house, but after learning more about it, it seemed that this situation was not an isolated case.
Many left-behind children would wait foolishly at the village entrance on the day their father was expected to return, waiting for the entire day, as if if they walked a few more steps, their father would come back a few hours earlier.
Little sister Li Ying rushed to climb into the driver's seat, fumbling with the huge steering wheel and said, "Brother, you drove a big jeep this time? This car is really big."
"Brother, I heard that you can learn to drive after graduating from junior high school. Can you talk to dad for me in two years and let me learn to drive too?"
Ever since Li Yue got his own car, he has become the idol of his sister Li Ying. In her opinion, Li Yue, who can drive his car wherever he wants, is much better than any college student.
The college student assigned to the county has been working for three years and still doesn't have his own car! But the car driven by my sister Li Yue is better than that of the county boss.
Li Ye knew what Li Ying was thinking, so he smiled and explained, "You can't learn to drive just by graduating from junior high school. You have to be old enough. If you're not old enough, you can't learn. When you're old enough, I don't need to tell you. Dad will arrange it for you."
"As long as you're old enough, that's fine! That would be great."
Li Ying, who was fiddling with the steering wheel, suddenly smiled happily, because she felt that age was something that could be met without any effort, because she still had to take exams to graduate from junior high school!
"Stop dreaming, get down and work!"
Li Ying was happily imagining her future as a female driver, but was suddenly pulled down by her sister Li Juan, and a bucket and a rag were stuffed into her hands.
"Whoever is dreaming is dreaming, just work, it's like you are not working."
Li Ying, who was used to being bullied by her sister, could only vent her dissatisfaction by complaining while wiping the car.
But Li Juan said, "In terms of age, I was the first one to reach the age. In terms of learning to drive, I was the first one to learn to drive. Even if my family has a car, I was the first one to drive. It's not my turn yet! Are you dreaming?"
“.”
The little girl who was diligently wiping the car was suddenly stunned. She only calculated how many years it would take for her to be able to drive a car, but she didn't expect that she had such a domineering sister in front of her!
Could it be that I have to do the same as before and wear my sister's clothes myself? When my sister breaks the car, she will sell it to me as a gift?
Why is the youngest in this family so pitiful?
Just when Li Ying was feeling depressed, her grandmother Wu Juying and Han Chunmei also came out from the yard to help move things.
As a result, when Wu Juying saw the Land Cruiser driven by Li Ye, her face immediately drooped. She reached out and pulled Li Ye aside and started to teach him a lesson viciously.
"I say, Xiaoye, are you too rich? The first year you drove a 130, the second year you asked Xiaoyue to drive a Volga, and this year Xiaoyue didn't come back, and you changed to a big jeep. Are you afraid that others don't know you are rich?"
This year, Li Yue is a new bride. During the Spring Festival, she always has to go back to her hometown with Yang Huaihua and Yang Yumin to visit the graves. Yang Yumin's hometown is far away from Dongshan and it is in the mountainous area. She definitely cannot come back on the second day of the New Year. Now there are only three days off for the Spring Festival, so she can't come back this year.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Grandma, you think too much. I borrowed the car from the factory, no."
"What's not?"
Wu Juying interrupted Li Ye and said angrily, "Do you know how many people have come to our house to borrow money in the past two years? They have borrowed so much that they have become enemies."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then just smiled indifferently. After all, this kind of thing was definitely unavoidable.
But then he saw Han Chunmei's expression, which was not so natural.
I went back to my hometown to visit the graves today. I came back late, so I can only do this shamelessly. I am so ashamed.
