Chapter 1609 You want to buy time, but has your opponent agreed?
At the end of December, Dong Shan's "five million yuan debt" and the full payment for one thousand engines were transferred to Jingnan Group.
Paying tens of millions in one lump sum shows that Dong Shan has quite a lot of money to offer, and it also proves that if he really wanted to raise funds, he could still borrow money.
However, only Dong Shan knew that this money, unlike the "relief funds" allocated by higher authorities in the past, could not be squandered at will. He had borrowed it by mortgaging the assets of Southwest Heavy Truck.
If you can't pay back the money, they really will come and seize your workshop, equipment, and land, and then help you sell all of these things off at a fire sale price.
Li Ye asked Lao Yang, the finance manager, to list out five million separately, and then explained the situation at the meeting.
"This five million is a 'handling fee' that I specifically requested from the southwest side, but we are all on the same side, and we all know that this five million was the deposit that Zhuo Minglan originally intended to use to transfer the Sanlihe land."
I utterly despise Zhuo Minglan's heartless act of selling off her family's wealth, but let's put it another way: this five million came from our group, and Zhuo Minglan didn't embezzle a single penny, so we have to return the money.
However, Zhuo Minglan must clearly explain the detailed process of the land transfer at that time, as well as her own personal conduct issues.
"."
The people in the meeting room immediately burst into laughter. Li Ye was going to settle scores later and teach Zhuo Minglan a lesson for her arrogance.
Why did Zhuo Minglan keep arguing with Li Ye after being taken away by the police?
What does this have to do with Secretary Shang?
What does my pregnancy have to do with anyone else?
If it weren't for your connection with Shang Bin, how could a young girl like you, who hasn't even grown up yet, manage land transactions worth tens of millions? If you weren't connected to Shang Bin, where did the child in your belly come from?
Many people sighed inwardly, "Li Ye really holds a grudge!"
Since Shang Bin has just been transferred to the parent company, he is still not firmly established. If Zhuo Minglan were to reveal the child in her womb at this time, Shang Bin would be severely injured, if not killed.
Old Meng, who was promoted from the light vehicle company to deputy general manager, knew Li Ye's vindictive nature, but at this moment he praised Li Ye.
"Deputy General Manager Li handled this matter skillfully and generously. It's not easy to squeeze five million out of Dong Shan; after all, five million is no small sum."
I also heard that after purchasing the engines, the factory in the southwest is working overtime to produce them. Dong Shan shouted a slogan at a factory-wide meeting: "We must race against time and ensure that their new cars are on the market before the Spring Festival."
"I've heard that Southwest Heavy Truck has also started implementing performance-based pay, and the frontline workers are very motivated."
"."
Li Ye asked in surprise, "Who told you this? Is the information reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable. There are people from our light vehicle company there. They called me a few days ago, saying they wanted to come back but Dong Shan wouldn't let them go. Isn't that ridiculous? They went there to support Dong Shan's work, not to be sold to him."
"Dong Shan's actions were unethical. Many of these people are locals from the capital, and this move has separated them from their families. Now that we've separated, we should let them come back! Don't you agree?"
Hehehe
Li Ye chuckled softly with a smile, but didn't respond.
After the hasty split of Jingnan Heavy Truck, most of the people from Southwest Heavy Truck returned to the Southwest, with only a few, such as Shan Shengwen and Feng Shuyun, being retained by Li Ye.
As for Southwest Heavy Truck, due to Dong Shan's "follow the chicken when you marry it" policy, apart from a few who resigned, none of the rest returned.
At this point, they would naturally try to find connections and acquaintances to help Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian solve the problem. After all, even someone like Zhuo Minglan could be "ungrateful" to Li Ye, so how could their former colleagues not lend a hand?
But that's just how Li Ye is. When you left with Dong Shan, I didn't try to stop you, but if you want to come back, I won't accept you.
Zhuo Minglan's five million was money she took from others. Owing money to others is inherently wrong, so how can she not repay it? Therefore, Zhuo Minglan is not in the same situation as those who want to come back.
After the meeting ended, Ma Zhaoxian called Li Ye over and told him directly, "Those people were probably bribed. I don't plan to give in. If they come and go as they please, what will the workers who have always stood by our side think?"
Li Ye laughed and said, "You and I are thinking the same thing. A few days ago, Lai Jiayi wanted to come back, but I disagreed, and we had a huge argument. I told her to go directly to the higher-ups in the Party Committee to report me."
"Heh, Lai Jiayi is no pushover. I bet she's really capable of doing this."
Ma Zhaoxian smiled dismissively before getting down to business with Li Ye: "You gave Dong Shanyun a thousand engines this time, which solved his immediate problem. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
"You can't hide it from me."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Southwest Heavy Truck has some resources. If we can acquire it, we can produce locally in the southwest region, and our products can better reach the western region."
The workers there are all very stubborn, so I wanted to make them face reality first. Dong Shan gave them hope, so I decided to shatter that hope.
"It's through having hope and then letting it be shattered that people can better face reality. Only those who face reality are worth our investment of real money to help them live a better life. Don't you agree?"
Yes, you're right.
Ma Zhaoxian agreed with Li Ye's view that only those who know how to be grateful are worth saving.
If we take over the mess that Southwest Heavy Truck is making, we will definitely have to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources. If we can't get rid of their stubbornness, it would be better to start from scratch and train skilled workers again.
Ma Zhaoxian then asked, "Do you think Dong Shan's call to 'seize the time' will succeed?"
Li Ye said calmly, "Whether he can seize the time or not depends on us, doesn't it? Even if he can launch the new car before the Spring Festival, wouldn't he still be behind us? Since he's behind, what can he possibly gain?"
"."
Ma Zhaoxian was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled.
“Li Ye, I knew you had a long-term vision and could see three steps ahead for every step you take.”
"It's not that I'm thinking three steps ahead for every one step I take, but rather that I've read history and know that your opponent will never give you time to relax."
"."
Throughout the history of China, there have been many instances of this kind of "race against time."
The war in the 1930s was particularly brutal.
Back then, President Chang was running military academies to train grassroots officers and was also planning to form dozens of German-equipped divisions. Given time, he could accomplish great things with those dozens of German-equipped divisions.
However, the Japanese did not give him time. Without sufficient preparation, they launched a full-scale war, and within a few months, President Chiang's years of hard work vanished.
Twenty thousand junior officers, who were originally potential platoon leaders and company commanders, were forced to be used as filler soldiers. In the end, less than one in a hundred survived. How can future generations forget this lesson?
In 1950, when everyone thought that China needed time to recuperate, batches of the most lovable people left forever in foreign lands in order to buy themselves time. How can future generations forget this experience?
So when Li Ye told Dong Shan, "This is your last chance," it truly was Dong Shan's last chance.
Since Dong Shan does not accept Li Ye's goodwill, then the business world is like a battlefield, so don't blame Li Ye for being ruthless.
What's a little engine blockage compared to what's to come? You'll get a lot more trouble later!
