Chapter 1632 Li Ye, raise the price!
Upon hearing Yi Mingzhao's words, Ma Zhaoxian realized that the other party wanted Shang Bin to represent the parent company and "guide" Jingnan Group in acquiring Southwest Heavy Truck, so he immediately reacted.
"Mr. Yi, actually, a month ago, we also conducted a detailed analysis of Southwest Heavy Truck's situation, and even bought two Southwest brand heavy trucks to study their so-called high technology."
After our analysis and research, the situation at Southwest Heavy Truck is indeed very strange, so we have prepared a series of plans. The plans are in the safe in my office; I'll go get them for you now.”
“.”
Yi Mingzhao paused for a moment, then waved his hand to stop Ma Zhaoxian from standing up: "There's no need to rush. Today we're just discussing the possibility of this. The specific implementation will have to be decided at a formal meeting at head office."
Ma Zhaoxian sat down awkwardly and said sheepishly, "Hehe, that's true, it's still far from certain."
Yi Mingzhao glanced at Ma Zhaoxian and said with a half-smile, "They're actually quite promising. Deputy General Manager Shang has been in the Southwest for nearly ten years, and his understanding of Southwest Heavy Truck is something we Beijing natives can't match."
“.”
Ma Zhaoxian was now speechless and embarrassed, because Yi Mingzhao's expression had actually changed.
Both involve integrating Southwest Heavy Truck, but can the significance of Jingnan Group acting alone be the same as that of integrating under the guidance of its parent company, Jingcheng Automobile Group?
In any country or group, the concentration of power is the most important issue for those in power. I, Yi Mingzhao, chose Shang Bin to "guide" this matter, so why are you, Ma Zhaoxian, disagreeing? Do you think you can do that?
Li Ye glanced at Ma Zhaoxian and smiled as he smoothed things over, saying, "President Yi is right. Deputy General Manager Shang has been in Southwest China for so many years and must know Southwest Heavy Truck inside and out. If he says Southwest Heavy Truck can't hold on, then it really can't."
Family members know their own situation best. Shang Bin had worked at Southwest Heavy Truck for so many years; he knew all too well how incompetent his own children were.
But after Li Ye said that, it felt a little strange.
Shangbin, you only left Southwest Heavy Truck less than a year ago. If Southwest Heavy Truck goes bankrupt because it can't survive, shouldn't you also bear some responsibility?
"Hey, Li Ye, you're being modest again. But this time you're being modest for the right reason. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Southwest Heavy Truck is your opponent, so being cautious is never excessive."
Hehehe~
Li Ye smiled innocently in response to Yi Mingzhao's "praise".
But in his heart, he truly didn't think so.
[You talk a good game, but in the end, you still want to maintain a balance and concentrate power. Why are those in power so controlling? Wouldn't it be better to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor like Ma Zhaoxian? Is it really necessary to have those who obey me prosper and those who oppose me perish?]
The reason for targeting Southwest Heavy Truck was that someone above had previously proposed integrating Southwest Heavy Truck, but in the end, Dong Shan led Southwest Heavy Truck to completely split up, causing the higher-ups to lose face.
If we can bring Southwest Heavy Truck back, it won't be a loss of face, but rather a testament to foresight and strategic planning that leads to victory from afar.
"Alright, it's getting late, I should go now. You can all go back and rest, or go back to your shifts and get back to work. Thank you for your hard work."
Yi Mingzhao probably felt that he had achieved his goal of "training his subordinates", so he stood up and took his leave.
When Ma Zhaoxian and the others saw Yi Mingzhao to the door, he suddenly said to Li Ye, "Li Ye, you graduated from Peking University with a degree in economics, right? Next year, we must recruit more economics graduates."
Those who study economics know how to make money. It's astonishing that a Hongguang minivan in Beijing can sell for 80,000 yuan and still be in high demand. Meanwhile, a Dafa van in Tianjin only costs 28,000 yuan at the factory!
“.”
Li Ye frowned slightly, then explained, "We've done market research. Although the ex-factory price of Dafeng in Tianjin is 28,000, the market price is higher than 50,000."
Many people buy these directly from the factory and resell them for 52,000 yuan. Our Jingcheng Hongguang's performance far surpasses that of the Daihatsu, so selling it for over 80,000 yuan is not expensive at all.”
"Oh? You bought goods for 28,000 and then resold them for 80,000? There's such a trick? Hehehe."
Yi Mingzhao suddenly patted Li Ye on the shoulder: "Li Ye, you're an honest young man. Keep up the good work. You have a bright future ahead of you!"
“.”
Li Ye was somewhat dazed by Yi Mingzhao's two slaps. Over the years, very few people had patted his shoulder like a younger brother.
Furthermore, what exactly does Yi Mingzhao mean by suddenly mentioning the price of the Beijing Hongguang?
They sell it for 28,000 yuan at the factory and then resell it for 52,000 yuan. You don't want me to do that too, do you?
[Hiss, Xue Bu didn't mention that this guy surnamed Yi was greedy for money?]
After watching Yi Mingzhao's car leave, Ma Zhaoxian said to Li Ye, "Let's go to my office and take a look at that business plan. Deputy General Manager Shang said that Southwest Heavy Truck is going to go bankrupt, so we can't ignore it."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Li Ye urged Ma Zhaoxian inside, but Old Meng hesitated for a moment, then said to Ma Zhaoxian, "Let's talk about it tomorrow or the day after! Today is the New Year."
Ma Zhaoxian nodded slightly: "That's true. Old Meng, you can go back first! I'll take the proposal home and take a look."
“.”
Old Meng was stunned for a moment, then walked away dejectedly.
He didn't come here for work in the first place. Now that Yi Mingzhao has left, what is he still doing here?
After Lao Meng left, Ma Zhaoxian said disdainfully, "Lao Meng always thinks he's clever. He's unwilling to suffer any loss or miss out on any benefit. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have achieved anything great. He's only gotten to where he is today thanks to you, Li Ye."
"Heh, they don't think they benefited from my fame at all."
Li Ye smiled, unconvinced.
If Li Ye hadn't brought back the Kamaz production line from Su'e, there wouldn't have been the merger of Jingnan Group, and Lao Meng wouldn't have risen to his current position.
But Lao Meng would never admit that he benefited from Li Ye's influence; he would only believe that his own moderate approach had played a role.
Sigh~
Ma Zhaoxian sighed deeply, and after a long while, he said, "Li Ye, over the years, the entire light vehicle company has benefited from your success."
Putting aside everything else, so many of the materials and parts used in production are supplied to us at low cost. Others may not know the specific reasons, but do you think I don't?
But now the prices of all kinds of steel and labor are rising. You shouldn't sacrifice your own family's interests for the sake of the collective. Anyway, some people are just benefiting from this and won't even appreciate your kindness."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned.
At least 70% of the core components of the light vehicle company are controlled by Wen Leyu, and for many years, this has indeed been a low-cost supply.
Ma Zhaoxian's words imply that he wants so many auto parts supply chain companies to collectively raise prices! Otherwise, why would he say it "harms the interests of small businesses"?
As for how much the price will increase, it will naturally compress the profits of Jingnan Group to around the "subsistence line," ensuring the welfare and benefits of the majority of employees, leaving just enough money for expansion.
Didn't you want to send Shang Bin to oversee that integration plan?
Alright, you'll experience firsthand the difficulty of a skilled cook having no rice to cook!
Of all the companies under the Beijing Group, only the First Branch Factory has the technology and ability to integrate Southwest Heavy Truck. If Li Ye doesn't cooperate, what is Shang Bin worth?
