Scholars in the courtyard

That night, the office director who was on duty in the First Machinery Department received a telegram.

It must have been urgent to send this thing so late. The director immediately opened it and checked it.

After just one glance, I felt a chill all over my body.

Resignation report.

I was even more surprised when I saw the signature.

How could someone in this position resign?

I can’t figure it out, and I don’t dare to think about it.

Then, prepare to report to the leader.

But it wasn't over yet, and then a telegram came, which was a resignation report.

And in the back, one after another, the director was completely panicked.

This is definitely something.

Something happened at the machine tool factory.

boom

Mr. Huang was called back by his secretary. He looked at the five resignation reports on the table and hit the table hard with his hand.

"What is this? This is just trying to avoid responsibility."

Lao Li, who was in charge of southern affairs in front of him, looked equally ugly.

What's the problem with these guys? Who can stand this?

"Old Huang, if they do this, it shows that they still have a sense of shame."

Mr. Li knew the temper of his general and the ins and outs of this incident.

But I didn't expect that it would actually come to this point.

"Old Huang, I still know a little bit about the situation."

"When I got the drawings of Daystar last time, I focused on machine manufacturing, but I always missed the point during the production process and couldn't make it. This is where I got into trouble."

Mr. Li feels so uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s a shame if you can’t make it with the drawings.

But wouldn’t it be shameful to just ignore it?

Besides, you are not the only one who is embarrassed. How can you be more serious?

Also, he knew what these people were thinking. They were just unconvinced by what the steel rolling mill could do.

But don’t look at the people in the steel rolling mill.

Apart from anything else, there is just one, Yang Xiaotao. Is that an ordinary person?

Can ordinary people receive gifts from leaders? Can you go up to the viewing platform?

You know, the only one who can go up is the old Huang in front of me, and no one else is qualified.

Are such people ordinary people?

Let’s talk about the current situation of the machinery factory. Those senior masters are just decorations. After all, it is a big factory in the Forty-Nine City. How can there be fewer workers?

With such a solid foundation and a "pervert" like Yang Xiaotao, it would be strange if it could not fly.

With such an existence, how can you compare with them?

Why are you comparing yourself to others?

Why not learn from Quancheng Automobile Factory and Mechanical Repair Factory? Look at them now, any advanced equipment is introduced as soon as possible. Now the output of the automobile factory has caught up with the Shanghai automobile factory.

This is the benefit.

Why don't these guys understand?

In Mr. Li's eyes, this is a group of people who have no proud abilities but have proud lives.

It would be strange not to suffer a loss.

"Old Huang."

"look."

"What are you looking at? When you encounter a problem, you don't think of a solution, but just let it go. Is this what a factory director should do?"

"Even a donkey is better than these things."

Huang Lao said angrily, he is not afraid of difficulties. Has their First Machinery Department encountered few difficulties in recent years?

But have they ever flinched?

It is the style of men of our generation to face difficulties head on.

He admired the comrades in the machinery factory very much for this, no matter how hard they worked, no matter what commotion they made.

As long as he dared to go up, dare to do, dare to charge, dare to fight, he would stand behind them in his heart.

Looking at the achievements of the machinery factory, they have been improving step by step in recent years. The achievements of the Machinery Department, let alone the Machinery Department, are not comparable to those of the entire country.

Looking at them again, they are just trash in comparison.

"It goes without saying. We all agree to let them go back to raising pigs."

Mr. Huang was so angry that he couldn't listen to anyone's words, so he stood up and left.

He was so angry late at night that he wanted to find Lao Xia and have a fight to vent his anger.

Behind him, Mr. Li lamented in his heart, "What is this!"

However, for the sake of the three melons and two dates under his command, I really can't ignore it.

Shanghai Automobile Factory.

The factory director's office is brightly lit.

A group of people stared at each other.

The old man at the top smokes a dry cigarette.

The room became filled with smoke amidst his chirping voice.

"Let's talk, let's talk, whether we want to do it in the future."

The old secretary finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, raised his head and asked.

Now he no longer wants to care about the car factory, but this morning he was stimulated by the radio incident. He couldn't figure it out and came to the factory director's office, gathered a group of people together, and wanted to ask about the situation.

After the old man finished speaking, Factory Director Jiang below felt a little guilty, but he was not in a hurry to speak and just winked at the technical director below.

The technical director gritted his teeth and spoke first.

"Secretary, factory director, during this period our focus has been on car modification. There are still some shortcomings in the research and development of this engine."

"Lack? How much is missing?"

The old secretary knocked the pipe pot on the table, each blow hitting everyone's heart, and the technical director's face turned pale.

"This, the new diesel engine we developed in cooperation with the diesel engine factory will soon be finalized and will enter the inspection stage."

The supervisor swallowed and said.

The old secretary took a serious look. With his understanding of human nature and his many years of experience, he knew from one look at this man's expression that this was nonsense.

The design drawing has been finalized, but it still needs to be verified whether it is correct or not.

If it is incorrect, it needs to be corrected again.

Pretend he doesn't understand anything.

But I can't find out if I ask him.

"Xiao Jiang, tell me what's going on."

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Director Jiang told the truth.

"Old Secretary, the diesel engine we are using now is copied from Germany, and the technical system is mature."

"We also obtained some Red Star engines from local sources. After comparing their performance, we found that they are similar to our imitations, and even worse in some aspects than our imitations."

“So I think we should focus on imitation for the time being to ensure the demand for domestic production first.”

After hearing this, the old secretary looked at the people in the audience and sighed mentally when he saw that most of them agreed.

Thinking of the phone call he had with Lao Jin a few days ago, he mentioned the discussion about the diesel engine in the machinery factory.

Why does the First Machinery Department and even the entire superiors pay so much attention to the diesel engines in the machinery factory?

They were also asked to participate in the ceremony in the form of a tractor phalanx. What they valued was the independent research and development capabilities of the machinery factory.

This ability is a weapon that is truly in your own hands.

And they have learned that, through inferences from relevant experts, this kind of engine can be made into a dual-cylinder or even multi-cylinder engine.

It was for this reason that he felt a deep crisis.

At this time, our own car manufacturers can still compete with each other by imitating foreign products. But in a few years, the other party will come up with multi-cylinder engines. Is it possible that car companies will copy Red Star's engines again?

Thinking of that scene, he felt ashamed.

"You guys are still thinking too one-sided."

The old secretary also said helplessly.

"If you don't have your own core technology, you will suffer a loss."

Immediately, the old secretary cryptically spoke out the information he had received, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Even Factory Manager Jiang was shocked.

However, they did not doubt what the old secretary said, because that was the reality reported.

Silence, a long silence.

Suddenly, Director Jiang clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, "Secretary, I think it's time for us to make up our minds."

Everyone looked over and the old secretary also put down his pipe and pot.

Factory Director Jiang took a deep breath and then said solemnly, "Our strength is actually not diesel engines, but small and medium-sized cars mainly powered by gasoline engines."

"If that's the case, why do you have to use a skill that's strong but an attack that's weak?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we made the gasoline engine and finished it?"

Factory Director Jiang said what he had wanted to say for a long time and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

After hearing this, the people around were very encouraged, as if the stone in their hearts had been lifted, and their whole bodies became relaxed.

Everyone focused their attention on the old secretary, full of hope.

The old secretary pressed the broken smoke into the tobacco bag bit by bit with his hands, then took out a match and lit it.

He also knew in his heart that they were lagging behind when it came to diesel engines.

This thing is one step behind and difficult to catch up with.

However, what Director Jiang said makes sense.

Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses may not be a good path.

"Okay, then let's transform and focus on gasoline engines."

After hearing this, many people raised their fists and couldn't help but cheer.

Their automobile factory has a long history of research on gasoline engines, and this time it will definitely be at the forefront of the country.

Feel proud, just look at this time.

"But I have to say something ugly first, before the year comes, I need to see the results."

"If you are still as sloppy as Diesel Engine, don't blame me for not recognizing people."

His eyes scanned the whole place, and pressure suddenly arose.

"Old secretary, don't worry."

Factory Director Jiang took the lead in fighting, followed by several deputy directors and directors behind him.

"If we still can't get results, you don't need to tell us, we will leave on our own."

"Don't embarrass the car factory."

Military compound.

Mr. Xia was sitting in the living room, looking at the chessboard in front of him, feeling numb in his heart.

As soon as he fell asleep at home, he heard the guard say that a chief was looking for him, and he thought something big had happened.

As a result, when the door opened, they saw these two people walking in, each of them looking embarrassed.

But then, it was time to set up the chessboard and play chess.

The kind who doesn't say anything, bangs the chessboard, and picks up all the pawns and smashes them down.

Fortunately, my wife went to her son's house today and no one was there. If he had been at home, he would have come out with a cattail leaf fan to drive people away.

Rubbing his eyes, he picked out the eye mucus and flicked it out. Mr. Xia looked at Lao Li who was blinking at him next to him. He still didn't know what was going on?

This must be Lao Huang who got angry and came here to take it out on himself!

As for what it is, you have to listen.

"General! Draw the car!"

"Hahaha"

Just when Mr. Xia was lost in thought, Mr. Huang jumped on the horse and slapped his thigh happily, his pride was palpable.

Mr. Xia also put his mind at ease. You can't lose chess if you lose. Grandma, if you take it out on me, I'm not a fool!

But just when Mr. Xia was about to solve the chess piece, Mr. Li on the other side clasped his hands together and winked.

Mr. Xia frowned, then stretched out two fingers in a vague manner.

Mr. Li struggled for a moment and nodded quickly.

In this way, Mr. Xia pushed the chessboard with satisfaction and said, "Admit defeat!"

"Hahaha, I won again, tsk tsk!"

"Lao Xia, you are not in your best state today."

Huang Lao smiled proudly, picked up the cup next to him, and drank to his fill.

Mr. Xia rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"Nonsense, who has the energy to play chess with you in the middle of the night?"

Mentally, I said, 'You can't win, you're a bitch. ’

However, seeing how pitiful Lao Li was, Mr. Xia did not continue to stimulate Mr. Huang, but looked reluctant.

"I'm just sick, why should I open the door for you two?"

"I feel uncomfortable."

"Hahaha"

Mr. Huang smiled, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

He, the boss of the Machinery Department, comes here at night just to play chess with you? Will it be useless work?

Mr. Li on the side was also thinking about it in his mind. Now that he had won three games, his anger was almost gone.

Sure enough, Mr. Huang put down the cup in his hand, changed his expression and said to Mr. Li, "I will call tomorrow and agree to their request. They will all go back to feed my pigs."

Mr. Huang said the same thing, but his tone was much softer than before.

This means that Mr. Li naturally understood what was going on and started acting instantly.
