Chapter 286 The Unpromising Ji Pengwei

A week later, Luoyi.

"How was your vacation?"

As soon as he returned to the office, Cao Tianwei got the news and ran over immediately.

"Not bad, I got you something."

Fang Xiang opened the drawer of his desk and put the prepared gift on the desk.

“Take so much again...

You always bring me so many things.

It’s really inexhaustible...”

Cao Tianwei frowned as he looked at the gift boxes piled up on the table.

“This time it’s for the kids.

There is no place for you."

Fang Xiang smiled, these things actually didn’t cost much money.

After all, he is so rich now that he is too lazy to calculate it in terms of money.

"Okay, since you have money, I won't refuse.

Xiao Cheng, help me move it back to my office and I will take it home after get off work."

Cao Tianwei shook his head and said something to Fang Xiang's assistant.

"Okay, Mr. Cao."

Xiao Cheng is Fang Xiang’s new assistant, a graduate of Shuimu Class of 77.

In order to call for national construction, I graduated a year early and now I have been in Second Automobile Works for a year.

I am already preparing for the professional qualification examination.

After hearing Cao Tianwei's instructions, he put down the teapot in his hand and started moving things to clean the table.

“It is said that Volkswagen in Hans has received an invitation from China and is preparing to come here to build a joint venture factory.

Have you heard about this?"

Fang Xiang put down his teacup only after seeing Xiao Cheng leave the office.

"No, why are they here?

Their cars are two grades lower than ours now. Isn’t it courting death to build a factory in China?”

Cao Tianwei flicked the ash off his cigarette, a look of extreme surprise on his face.

"I guess it's the idea of ​​the top management..."

Fang Xiang also took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

“High-level?

What do the top management want to do?

Want a cheap sedan?

Just give us some targets and plans, right?

Why do we need to bring in the public?

I am embarrassed to drive their car!"

Cao Tianwei's eyes turned around and he thought for a long time, and felt that this was the only reason.

“I don’t think it’s that simple.

Perhaps it is because they feel that the domestic automobile industry is now stagnant.

Introduce foreign capital to stir up this muddy water.

So that some people can come and take advantage of the situation."

Fang Xiang took a puff of his cigarette. He had been thinking about this question for a long time.

Before he traveled through time, the country's automobile industry was inadequate and far behind.

But now that he is here, it is no exaggeration to say that the automotive industry is booming.

Looking for foreign investment again would be like looking for trouble.

"How about... asking Teacher Xu?"

When Cao Tianwei heard Fang Xiang's words, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Forget it, he's already so old.

Do you want to trouble others again because of this matter?

I'd better ask someone."

Fang Xiang shook his head. Professor Xu is now over 80 years old and his health is not as good as before.

In the early years, he almost exhausted all his energy in national construction.

"That...

It’s not like we can’t make a cheap car.

And our technology is much better than the public.

or?"

Cao Tianwei took out another cigarette and lit it by placing the butt of the cigarette against the cigarette head.

Suddenly, another idea came to my mind.

"make!

Of course it has to be built, isn't it just to muddy the waters?

If others can do it, why can't we?

But before I build it, I have to go back to Beijing to find out more."

The reason why Fang Xiang returned to Luoyi first instead of going directly to the capital was because of this matter.

Seeing that Cao Tianwei and I had the same idea, I naturally had to make preparations.

"Then who should take care of this matter?

Your classmate?"

Cao Tianwei nodded. Seeing that Fang Xiang was well prepared, he asked about the candidate.

"he..."

Fang Xiang was stunned for a long time before he realized that Cao Tianwei was referring to Ji Pengwei.

I originally thought that after suffering such a huge blow, Ji Pengwei would turn over a new leaf, get back on his feet and work hard.

Unexpectedly, after Ji Pengwei arrived in Luoyi, he found out that Fang Xiang was almost the person who had the final say in the factory.

He then resumed his second-generation mentality.

It would have been bad enough if he had just slacked off at work, but his relationships with many of his colleagues had also become strained.

Because Ji Pengwei's job was arranged by the office director at the time, he knew that he was able to get the job thanks to Fang Xiang's relationship.

So he was somewhat biased, which made Ji Pengwei even worse.

Later, I wanted to use armbands in the factory to crack down on people.

This completely pissed off a lot of people.

The office director knew that he couldn't cover it up, so he told Fang Xiang.

After knowing this, Fang Xiang was extremely angry. He didn't expect that he had been wrong.

Ji Pengwei transformed from a victim into a perpetrator, and the process was so smooth and short.

Fang Xiang really didn't expect this.

However, Fang Xiang did not go to the extreme, but instead reduced Ji Pengwei's treatment to the lowest level.

The treatment of a 16th-level technical secondary school intern dropped to the lowest-level apprentice, with only 17 yuan a month.

How could Ji Pengwei bear this? He ran to Fang Xiang's house every day to cry and make a fuss, which made Fang Xiang very annoyed.

Finally, out of desperation, I had a long talk with him and threatened to fire him.

Ji Pengwei finally realized his mistake.

And promised to turn over a new leaf in the future.

Fortunately, Ji Pengwei really realized this time that he is no longer the Ji Pengwei of the past.

Starting from an apprentice, the job level increases every two to three years.

Even for professional titles, once you get into the right state, you have to take one step at a time.

But it is difficult to restore everyone's trust in him to its original level.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and Ji Pengwei has married, had children, and settled down in Luoyi.

Fortunately, I learned the courses in school well and worked diligently over the years without any problems.

The salary has now become that of a level 8 engineer and production line manager.

However, a considerable portion of Second Automobile Works’ management team came from Luoyang Automobile Works.

Everyone knows Ji Pengwei's past better than the last.

So when it comes to key matters, he has nothing to do with it.

If Cao Tianwei hadn't mentioned it today, Fang Xiang would have almost forgotten about his old classmate.

“Come to think of it, if it weren’t for that incident, he would have been a senior manager now.

Who knows, he might even become a deputy factory manager.

After all, there are so many students from Shuimu, but only a few remain.

There is no doubt about his ability.

After so many years, I guess his character must have improved.

I think it's okay to give him a chance."

Seeing that Fang Xiang was still hesitant, Cao Tianwei spoke to comfort him.

In fact, everyone recognizes Ji Pengwei's ability, otherwise, they would not have let him be in charge of a production line, right?

“It’s not impossible, but you still have to help keep an eye on it for me.

The factory should still focus on stability.

Moreover, as you know, I am now responsible for more than just our factory.

I have to go to other places frequently.

I don’t have the time to stare at him.”

Seeing that Cao Tianwei had already spoken, Fang Xiang thought that he should give him another chance.

So many years have passed, Ji Pengwei should have changed his temperament.

If he continues to cause trouble, Fang Xiang will no longer cherish this favor.

"Don't worry, I know what to do.

Besides, it’s not like all the responsibilities are left to him.

We have been through thick and thin together for so many years. When have I ever made a mistake in doing things? "

Cao Tianwei picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea in one gulp.

He stopped smoking and just put it out in the ashtray.

He said with a smile.

"By the way, how long can you stay in the factory this time?"

After talking about this topic, Cao Tianwei asked another question.
