Chapter 852 Can’t Satisfy Their Appetite?

July is the graduation season in the mainland, and it is also a season of joy and sorrow, especially for college graduates in super first-tier cities like Beijing. When they get a job assignment, they are even more sad and happy.

Let alone the children assigned to remote areas, the Beijing train station in July does not believe in tears.

And students like Xiao Zhiyu who stayed in Beijing are the lucky ones of this era.

You have to know that this is 1987, not the "Beijing Drift" era where they will leave sadly after struggling for youth decades later. After being assigned a job, the household registration will be transferred, and the children will have some advantages in the future college entrance examination.

Of course, some people are lucky, and some are unlucky.

After a detailed investigation by the investigators, Lu Zixue was proved to have serious conduct problems. After three years of hard study, he only got a certificate of completion, let alone a job assignment.

This disappointed some people in the Light Automobile Company, and then rumors appeared again in the unit, saying that Li Ye reported to Lu Zixue's school, and then people came to investigate the situation.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Li Ye looks decent on the surface, but he is petty and vindictive. He has no tolerance and will never achieve great things."

"That's right! It's not easy for him to study hard for more than ten years, but now it's all in vain. It's too cruel."

In the mouths of these people, Li Ye seemed to have become a "big bully" who bullied others overnight. It is recommended that everyone keep a distance from him and don't make close friends with him.

Of course, some people hate Li Ye, and some people like Li Ye, and the number of people who like Li Ye far exceeds the number of people who hate him.

When Li Ye went to work this morning, he found that some people were squatting or standing at the factory gate. Among them were college students who came here for internship a few days ago, and judging from the clothes of some others, they should be the parents of the children.

Li Ye got off the car and walked over with a smile, and then was surrounded by the group of college students.

Xiao Zhiyu, the leader, said embarrassedly: "Deputy Director Li, we are here to report officially today, but our family must come to thank the leaders of the unit, what do you think?"

"."

More than half of the college and technical secondary school students who came with Xiao Zhiyu to participate in the internship at the beginning of the year were from other places.

According to the teachers in the school, in previous years, they could not even stay for one-third of their situation, and even if they stayed, there was no good unit. But now looking at the salary and benefits of the first branch factory, they are considered to have picked up a big bargain this year.

People who originally had little hope suddenly got a lucky opportunity, and generally cherish it. So today is the first day of their children's official work. Many parents came from afar to express a few words of gratitude to the leaders, which is also human nature.

However, Li Ye looked at everyone and smiled and said: "You thanked the wrong person! You should thank the country first, then thank the school. Then thank Director Lu, I can't get the number!"

"Hahaha~"

People born in 1987 have a low laugh point. Li Ye's words not only made the young people in front of him laugh, but also made the accompanying parents smile.

Xiao Zhiyu also smiled, and then said: "All the leaders of the unit need to be thanked, but Director Lu has not arrived yet, so I will wait for you, Deputy Director Li."

"Has Old Lu not arrived yet?"

Li Ye raised his hand to look at his watch, and felt a little strange, because Li Ye had been taking care of his children recently, so he usually went to work on time. The bell was about to ring now, and Lu Zhizhang would normally arrive at the factory ten minutes in advance. Why was he late today?

But then Lu Zhizhang came over from the main factory office and greeted Li Ye, Xiao Zhiyu and others.

"Oh, all the future engineers of our factory are here! But what are they standing outside for?"

Li Ye smiled and teased: "They are all waiting to thank you! Many parents have come from far away places, you, as the big factory director, have to make good arrangements."

"Of course I will make arrangements!"

Lu Zhizhang smiled and said: "Let's go in first, Xiao Zhiyu, you go to the personnel department to report first, Deputy Factory Director Li and I will take your family to the conference room to sit down,

We will discuss with the union later to see if we can organize a welcome event. If there are parents of classmates who live far away from home, they will go to the unit guesthouse later."

Lu Zhizhang quickly made arrangements, asking the personnel department to handle the entry procedures for the graduates first, and then use some reception fees to eat and drink at public expense, so that these parents who came all the way to send their children can rest assured.

As for the local specialties brought by some parents, they are all handed over to the canteen as public ingredients.

Eating and drinking at public expense is not wrong, but accepting gifts is completely different.

However, after finishing the simple work, Lu Zhizhang said to Li Ye in a deep voice: "I got a message when I was at work today. The main factory plans to lower the ex-factory price of 130 by 10%, so it was delayed for a while."

Li Ye's face condensed and asked: "Lower by 10%? What's the reason? It's not that they blame our J3 model for being sold too cheaply!"

Lu Zhizhang shook his head and said: "I haven't found out clearly yet. I hope it's not on us. Let alone Guan Liang and others."

"."

Lu Zhizhang sighed, a little depressed, but more helpless.

He has worked in this unit for more than 20 years and has real feelings for it.

If the production structure and management model of the first branch are followed, it is not impossible to reduce the ex-factory price by 10%. Anyway, 130 is a mature and outdated model, and it is good to make use of the residual heat with small profits and quick turnover.

But Lu Zhizhang has been in the company for so many years, and he is deeply impressed by the bloated production structure and inefficient production efficiency of the main factory. They don't even have a 10% profit balance!

Moreover, inflation in the second half of 1987 has accelerated, and the prices of various means of production have begun to increase at an accelerated pace. Now they are starting to reduce prices. What are they going to do?

But that's it?

Or should we use the profits of the entire unit to put a big hat on Li Ye and maliciously show the "fault" of the No. 1 branch? And then by the way, "underwriting" for Guan Liang's trading companies?

The last time the department director came to accuse the No. 1 branch of low-price dumping and malicious competition, the director of the big factory defended Li Ye.

But then they asked for more new engines and gearboxes, and according to Lu Zhizhang's information, in addition to Guan Liang, several other trading companies joined in, and the combined strength was "strong" .

But Li Ye didn't give it, and kept the figure of two hundred units per month. After all, that was the cost price. Li Ye would not benefit from making some people fat.

But now those people are bucking the trend and cutting prices when costs cannot stop rising. Could it be because those two hundred J3 models can no longer satisfy their appetite?

Lu Zhizhang thought for a moment and asked Li Ye, "Li Ye, do you think we should deal with it in advance?"

Li Ye nodded slowly and said: "You are right, I will increase the ex-factory price of J3 by one thousand and one thousand five hundred yuan today."

In fact, according to Li Ye's plan, at the end of this year, the price of the J3 type 130 of the first branch will also be raised. Firstly, because of cost growth, and secondly, because the market reputation has already risen, and there is no need to promote it at a low price.

Then raise the price first and stop those people's mouths first.

It's just that after Li Ye's price increase, the price of the two hundred J3 models per month at the main factory will also increase. The "price difference" left for Guan Liang and others will not be much, and the balance of interests between both parties will inevitably be affected. break in.

. . . . . . . . .

At noon, more than 20 parents of college and technical secondary school students were invited to the cafeteria. They sat with the department leaders and workshop directors of these students and had a simple and enthusiastic meeting.

Those parents had long said that the living conditions in the No. 1 branch were good. Now that they saw the food in the cafeteria with their own eyes, they felt more at ease and satisfied.

Lai Jiayi, the eldest sister of the labor union, also gave full play to her work ability and provided various guarantees to parents. Her refreshing attitude and style won praise from many parents.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t give it good reviews! Just like the parents of primary and secondary school students in a few decades, if any teacher gives you less than perfect marks, no matter who you are outside as the "boss" or "brother", you have to smile obediently.

Lai Jiayi seemed to be a little confused by everyone's smiling faces, and then she sighed to Li Ye: "Oh, Deputy Director Li, actually I could have secured a general for our first branch factory, but because What happened a few days ago finally came to nothing."

Li Ye smiled casually and said: "Sister Lai, your half-word words are making me feel itchy. Who is the general? And why did he fall short?"

Lai Jiayi smiled and said mysteriously: "In order to strengthen our technology research and development capabilities, our factory specially reported that a graduate engineer was transferred from the Jilin Automobile Factory. I originally wanted to talk to him and he brought him to our side. But because of Lu Zixue’s story, people rejected it as soon as they heard about it.”

"."

Li Ye slowly frowned. The matter of Lu Zixue had already passed. Why did Lai Jiayi still bring this up?

But Lai Jiayi was still mumbling, saying things like "be merciful to others and treat others with love".

[Are you telling the students around you? Don’t you know how shameless you are? 】

Li Ye interrupted directly: "Sister Lai, I don't like hearing what you say. He, Lu Zixue, is right. Is it me who is wrong?"

"Hey, you can't say that. Deputy Factory Director Li, you must be right."

"If everyone is right, then why did he jump off the building crying? Then why did they come down to investigate?"

"."

Lai Jiayi was stunned. She really didn't expect that Li Ye would be so "rude" to her in front of so many people.

After this incident, the relationship between the two people is estimated to drop by another 20%, and it will soon reach the point where they hate each other.

But Li Ye doesn't like her! I don't want you to know how powerful I, Li Duodun, are, but you still slap your nose in your face?

Everyone has love, and Li Ye also has patience. He doesn’t want the workers to see the discord between the management and the workers.

But Li Ye has already given in more than once. Is he still going to retreat again and again, and endure it again and again?

[I told you a long time ago, you are gold-plated, but don't get in my way. If you feel uncomfortable, don't blame me for being ruthless. 】

"Well, I heard that Lu Zixue seems to have gone abroad."

Xiao Zhiyu weakly raised his hand and said weakly: "Actually, he has always wanted to go abroad, so he finally got what he wanted!"

"."

Lai Jiayi was stunned for a long time, and then she laughed and said: "Oh, look at me, I'm really worried, hahahaha~"

Listening to Lai Jiayi's laughter, Li Ye seemed to feel that she was really happy, happy that the people who were looked down upon by Li Ye had a better future.

It's like a little girl who was dumped and married the prince of Persia, which is a relief.
