Scholars in the courtyard

"Uncle Xu, the comrades in the machine repair shop discovered during maintenance that due to the performance of the engine oil, problems often occur in the use of the engine."

"In addition to checking out the construction of the distillation tower and the condition of the equipment, I came here this time to ask if there is any way we can solve this problem."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, not only Xu Yuanshan was silent, but also the chemical plant supervisor and others following behind him.

Seeing everyone like this, Yang Xiaotao knew the answer.

"Since there is no other way, then think of a way."

"We are short of equipment. We have our own machinery factory and prototype equipment, so we can imitate them. If we don't have it, just tell us the requirements and our comrades can design it and make it."

"There is a shortage of talents. I think we can look for them. In such a big country, we can always find a few people who can be used."

"And fellow comrades, those who can participate in chemical engineering work must be leaders in the relevant professional fields. Don't you know a few powerful people?"

As Yang Xiaotao spoke, Xu Yuanshan's face turned a little red, and everyone behind him also looked a little embarrassed.

These questions, or rather these directions, should be raised by him as the factory director.

While Xu Yuanshan was blaming himself, when he heard Yang Xiaotao's last suggestion, he suddenly thought that both the machinery factory and the steel factory had R\u0026D departments, but they did not realize the importance of this.

In other words, his understanding of chemical engineering is too superficial.

I just want to maintain the status quo with the current management.

But they forget that if they sail against the current, they will retreat if they don’t advance.

In particular, various factories in machinery factories are developing rapidly. If chemical plants cannot keep up with the speed, they will fall behind.

"You are right, we were indeed negligent in this regard."

Xu Yuanshan admitted, “As for the problems in chemical industry, we will find solutions as soon as possible.”

But I secretly decided to arrange for people to inquire about it immediately. I must find a few famous chemists to set up the R\u0026D department of the chemical plant.

After spending most of the day in the chemical plant, I also understood the current situation of the chemical plant. In fact, there are still few people and few equipment.

Of course, what is mentioned here is at least compared to machinery factories, steel plants and so on. If we really talk about the proportion of intellectuals, it is estimated that chemical plants are the concentration of talents in the entire 49 cities.

And this is what Yang Xiaotao values ​​​​about chemical plants.

Before getting off work, Yang Xiaotao drove back to the machinery factory.

Then I received news that the Seventh Machinery Department had taken credit from the factory.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao has been silent and has no special attitude.

As for Yang Youning thinking that he hid in the chemical plant on purpose, he was really wronged.

After all, he didn't know he would ask for it today.

I met Wang Guodong when I got off work.

"Xiao Tao, Lao Yang left early today. I heard that he was very unhappy. It can't be you who is angry."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "How is that possible? I don't know about this."

Wang Guodong looked at him suspiciously, and Yang Xiaotao quickly explained.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, it's not an option for the Seventh Machinery Department to continue like this. If we go through formal channels, no one will say anything. Anyway, the steel plant can afford it."

"What's wrong with this?"

"I know. But..."

Yang Xiaotao was also helpless. Who allowed him to take the pak choi that someone else was carrying?

Of course, this is just a personal explanation. If we really want to talk about the pattern, Yang Xiaotao knows how important what Ran's father does is, isn't it just some liquid oxygen?

Apart from taking some trouble, there is a lot of it in the air, so just suck it in hard.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotao understood his father-in-law's behavior.

It's just that it can't be shown, after all, workers also work hard.

"It's best to discuss this matter with the leaders above. It's difficult for us to deal with it!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Guodong understood what he meant and said no more.

He still understands the principle of not being intimate.

Just remind me when I need to remind you.

"Well, as long as you understand."

After the two of them finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao drove out of the machinery factory.

In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao had just returned when he heard people in the courtyard talking about buying coal.

In normal years, there are always several families in the courtyard who are in difficulty. At this time, it is time for the courtyard to unite.

At the last meeting, Yan Fugui originally wanted to take the opportunity to say something, but was distracted by the Jia family's affairs and didn't say anything.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao came back, Yan Fugui came to the door.

Last year, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye bought a lot of coal and gave it to those in need.

I planned to do the same this year, but I didn't expect Yan Fugui to come first.

"Director Yang."

"Uncle Yan, please stop calling me like that in the courtyard!"

"Okay, Xiaotao!"

Yan Fugui smiled, enjoying Yang Xiaotao's respect.

"This year the compound plans to buy coal together. This also reflects our unity. When the time comes, each household will contribute some money and give it to me to buy the coal together."

"I did statistics and found that the amount we spent on buying coal in the past was only seven or eight yuan, while the amount we spent on coal was almost four yuan..."

"In addition to Lao Zhou and the others, there are four needy households in our courtyard. Counting this way..."

Yan Fugui took out his notebook and began to calculate, and finally concluded, "I estimate that five yuan and three cents per household is basically enough for our courtyard!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask him how he calculated it, but according to Yan Fugui, the whole hospital worked together to help the needy households.

In this way, it does reflect the unity and democracy of the compound as he said.

"Okay, just take care of it. Let me know when the time comes and I'll give you the money!"

"Hey, good!"

Yan Fugui smiled, as long as Yang Xiaotao agrees, this matter can be done.

He was also afraid, so he came over in advance to say hello and ask for advice.

If Yang Xiaotao didn't agree, he really wouldn't dare to do this.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed, Yan Fugui immediately prepared to contact each household and asked people to prepare baskets and tools.

Yang Xiaotao went home to prepare dinner, had a drink with Lao Tao, and then read a book in the study.

Before going to bed, Xiaowei was asked to conduct a "remote monitoring" to see if the three little guys were any bastards and were not sleeping honestly.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the machinery factory to work, Yang Xiaotao arranged for Chen Bin to take the R\u0026D department to the chemical factory to make calculations and drawings for the machines that needed to be manufactured as agreed yesterday.

Try to get the machine made to the chemical factory as soon as possible.

Then he came to the office and was about to call Yangjiazhuang to ask about his wife and children. Unexpectedly, before dialing the number, Liu Huaimin called him into the office.

In the room, Yang Youning had just arrived. He was sitting aside with a teapot, blowing hot air from it from time to time.

After closing the door, Yang Xiaotao sat on the chair, thinking that it might be about the liquid oxygen, so he lowered his head. Anyway, they could say whatever they wanted for a while, and they would just have to admit their mistake.

Anyway, we are young and it is normal to make mistakes.

Besides, it was Lei who was fighting for his father-in-law. When the time comes, his wife will know about it, and I don’t know how to be moved.

This touch, tut tut.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt hot in his heart when he thought of Ran Qiuye's behavior that was completely opposite to usual.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning were also surprised to see Yang Xiaotao come in like this.

One moment he sat there like a good baby, and the next moment his face showed excitement.

That’s right, definitely exciting.

The two of them looked at each other in confusion.

However, Yang Youning seemed to have some clues. It should be that this boy knew about the Seventh Machinery Department, and he was pretending to be a good boy.

Ahem

"Yesterday I went to the ministry for a meeting. The chief emphasized a few things. The three of us should meet and discuss them first."

Liu Huaimin sat at the table, opened the meeting folder and got to the point.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was not looking for him to settle a score, Yang Xiaotao immediately sat up straight, his expression still aggrieved.

Yang Youning stared at him. If he hadn't grown a beard, he would have blown it a few times.

But when it came down to business, both quickly got into character.

In the office, the three of them got into the mood.

"Let's talk about the first one first. With the establishment of the Seventh Machinery Department this time, our first machine department has sent out many brother units. The extra tasks of this part will be evenly distributed to the remaining factories."

"The overall workload of our machinery factory has increased to 3%."

Liu Huaimin said, Yang Xiaotao thought in his heart, this three percent is not a lot.

Although the tasks of the original steel rolling mill were assigned to the first branch factory, it does not mean that the first branch factory is not important, nor does it mean that the tasks will be reduced.

"What's the situation in the first branch factory now?"

Yang Youning asked, obviously considering the actual situation.

Yang Xiaotao took out the cigarettes, and Yang Youning recognized it at a glance. It was the half pack that this guy took away from his table last time. He was not angry immediately, picked up one and gave it to Liu Huaimin first, and took one for himself. Today he decided to Don't give him anything left.

"Uncle Sun's side is on the right track. When I went last time, the task completion rate was very high, especially the other two factory directors, who managed the workshop very well. Coupled with the improvement in our salary, the comrades' work Enthusiasm is not low.”

"However, increasing housing capacity is still a burden for workers. Although it is not much, we must also consider the sentiments of comrades. I think we can add more machines to the first branch factory and make up for the gap through the improvement of machines and technology."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin nodded, and Yang Youning had no objection. "Just allocate two or four milling machines to the first branch factory. This thing is convenient for them to use to manufacture parts."

"I think it works!"

Yang Xiaotao agreed.

"Let's talk about the second thing." Liu Huai continued, "In this meeting, Mr. Xia talked about the last tractor sales in the Far Northwest. This time, comrades stationed abroad came with news and the results were obtained."

They both looked over.

Last time they received a notice to prepare a batch of tractors and go to the northwest to see if they could open up the market in the franchised countries. However, there has been no news for so long and they thought this matter was gone.

"What's the situation now? Is it successful?"

Lao Yang asked eagerly.

Liu Huaimin took out a report, Yang Youning took it, and Yang Xiaotao also stepped forward to look at it.

"The other party's overall evaluation of the tractor was average to above average. What they liked most was that it has a simple structure, is easy to operate, has good carrying capacity, and can operate in complex environments. However, the biggest dissatisfaction is that the speed is too slow."

"Speed?" Yang Youning glanced at Yang Xiaotao, "Does this tractor need to be at high speed?"

"If it's that fast, we'll have to use a truck."

Yang Xiaotao shrugged, "Maybe they have a vast area and sparsely populated areas, so it's a long way to go!"

Yang Youning put down the document, "That means there is no chance. I still want to wait to export tractors to earn foreign exchange like pressure cookers!"

Liu Huaimin put the documents away, "It's not out of the question. Our comrades said that as long as the power problem is solved and the speed is increased, there is still a market for it!"

After saying that, the two of them looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

As the two of them watched, Yang Xiaotao was also wondering.

Last time Mr. Zhang came, he asked about the diesel engine.

It was also said at the time that once a single-cylinder engine was developed, twin-cylinder, or even six-cylinder and eight-cylinder engines would naturally be developed in the future, and the eight-cylinder diesel engine provided by the system was still readily available.

Now that the other party has made a request, it is a good time to do some research.

Moreover, if you want to increase your credits during this period, studying diesel engines is a shortcut.

After saving credits for so long, he still hasn't reached the level of seventh-level engineer, which makes him a little anxious.

"If you want to increase power, you have to increase the horsepower of the engine. I think we can get a two-cylinder oil engine and equip it on a large tractor. This will definitely make it faster."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning had smiles in their eyes.

They had heard about the diesel engine a long time ago, and now they were happy to hear Yang Xiaotao say this.
