Scholars in the courtyard

"If you ask me, it's all your father's fault. Why did you take him to the northwest for nothing? I'll talk to him later, so as not to break my heart again!"

Seeing that Ran's mother was speaking so seriously, Ran Qiuye quickly explained for his father, "Mom, Dad also has good intentions."

"Not everyone can go to the northwest. Only those who have made a contribution and have status can go."

"Besides, Xiao Tao has another mission this time. Even if he is not in the northwest, he still has to go out from Sijiu City."

"So, don't do dad's business."

As Ran Qiuye explained, Ran's mother stood up and said, "You have been following your father since you were a child."

"I'm going to bed. You should go to bed early. You will be busy tomorrow."

"good!"

I watched my mother go to the back room to rest, which was originally the grandfather's residence.

But when Ran's mother came over, Grandpa insisted on moving to the brigade headquarters next door, saying he was there to help look after the yard.

In fact, no one in this village dares to steal anything.

Just as Ran's mother left, the door was suddenly pushed open. Wangcai and Hei Niu at the door raised their heads at the same time, and then fell down together.

Mr. Yang strode into the house with a coat on his body and only one shoe on his feet. Ran Qiuye and Ran's mother were surprised when they saw this appearance.

"Akiba, phone."

"Xiao Tao, you're coming back!"

After the words fell, there was silence in the room.

"came back!"

ah…

Ran Qiuye repeated it, and then ahhh again, and immediately ran to the brigade headquarters without caring about putting on his coat.

Mr. Yang quickly took the coat handed over by Ran's mother and followed.

Ran's mother looked at the figure running away, and her face suddenly became pious.

"Amitabha, with the blessings of Bodhisattva, the backbone of this family is finally back safely."

Sijiucheng, Machinery Factory.

It was midnight, but the lights in the workshop were brightly lit.

Dozens of people gathered around a machine tool and watched carefully.

The men had barely left since the afternoon.

In the front row, several bosses from the machinery factory were there.

Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning, Chen Gong, and Wang Guodong were all nervous and looking ahead.

As for the captain Liang Zuoxin, he was leading people to inspect the factory and was equally busy.

Behind these people are people from the R\u0026D department.

Next to them, the director of the second workshop is also an engineer from the machinery factory, Chang Mingjie.

Compared to everyone's expectations, Chang Mingjie's hands holding the drawings were sweating.

Before Yang Xiaotao left, the R\u0026D Department of the Machinery Factory began to study the upgrade of machine tools.

This machine tool is naturally the Venus Mechanical Machine Tool as the mother machine.

Nowadays, domestic economic development is beginning to pick up, and the momentum of development in cramped regions is even more rapid.

Some industries also have higher requirements for machine tools.

This includes some production plants of the Third Machinery Department and the Seventh Machinery Department.

Of course, what they didn't know was that the Sixth Machinery Department also joined the demand because of the early appearance of submarines.

In the future, there may be more industrial demands.

It is precisely because of these needs that all domestic factories capable of developing machine tools have received orders from their superiors to improve the quality of machine tools as soon as possible.

Among these factories, the Hongxing Machinery Factory, which can independently manufacture Venus, naturally has high hopes from the bosses of the First Machinery Department.

For this matter, Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia came to the machinery factory many times to cheer for their comrades.

Now, it's time to test the effect.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone in the workshop was busy assembling new machine tools.

And now, it’s time to test the results.

Chang Mingjie looked at Zhou Hong who was operating the machine tool in front of him. He was the most experienced eighth-level worker in the machinery factory.

It's just that the test results haven't come out after so long, which makes him feel a little uneasy.

Whether it is semi-automatic machine tools or mechanical master machines, every improvement will have a huge impact on the industry.

With it, equipment that can process various complex planes, curved surfaces, holes and other parts faster and better can be used to make various machine tools with higher precision.

It is such a high requirement that also illustrates the difficulty of manufacturing in disguise.

If this were not the case, China would not regard the products produced by Germany thirty years ago as treasures!

Really, we are far behind!

"Lao Liu, how do you feel?"

Behind the team, Hou Baobao rubbed his waist and asked softly to Liu Daming, who was standing on a stool next to him.

Liu Daming was watching Lao Zhou operating the machine tool and did not speak when he heard the sound.

Hou Baobao was annoyed and looked at Zhang Guanyu who was standing aside.

"Director Zhang, do you think it can be done?"

Although Zhang Guanyu is the R\u0026D director and the superior of several people, he does not dare to use his status in front of these eighth-level workers.

He doesn't have Yang Xiaotao's ability to control these old guys.

Therefore, Liu Daming dared to ignore Hou Baobao's words, but he had to speak.

What's more, he also participated in the design of this machine tool. If he is not determined, what will others think?

Make a defective product to fool people?

"There should be no problem!"

"We have all designed it according to Mr. Yang's ideas."

"Furthermore, the design direction abroad is towards semi-automatic, which is no problem."

"There is no problem with the idea. The materials are all the best in the steel factory, and all kinds of alloys are used. Not to mention our skills. Several eighth-level masters worked continuously for a week before we got it done!"

"That's all, it must be fine!"

Zhang Guanyu said seriously, also giving himself confidence.

Hou Baobao didn't say anything after hearing this, but he still added in his mind, "No problem, it's already midnight and you haven't finished it yet?"

It's just that it's hard for him to say this, otherwise a group of old guys around him will teach him how to behave in a minute.

Everyone calmly waited.

Yang Youning in the front row rubbed his eyes and then moved his legs.

After standing here for so long, these guys don't know how to move a chair. They are so ignorant.

But then I thought about the thick pile of documents on my desk, and I thought it would be better to stand still.

Since Yang Xiaotao left the machinery factory, his job has basically been handed over to him.

It’s not that he works diligently to develop his style, nor does he take over everything and compete for power.

It was because of the nature of Yang Xiaotao's work that except for him and Liu Huaimin who were qualified to sign in the machinery factory, Chen Gong Guodong and others were not qualified.

Moreover, when Yang Xiaotao was around, he could handle the matters involved quickly and make his own decisions.

But when it comes to him, I don’t understand.

Yang Xiaotao only needed time to sign, but as a result, he had to call the following to confirm, find someone to ask about the situation, and sometimes had to pull his hair and think carefully before he dared to sign.

Just like at the chemical plant, Xu Yuanshan needs more crude oil. The current chemical equipment has not reached normal levels at all, so the production capacity has not been increased.

Moreover, their chemical plant also wants to build another workshop specifically for the production of petrochemical products. It will initially produce asphalt, and will later introduce equipment to produce lubricants.

How could he do this?

To expand large-scale production and require crude oil, you have to present data to your superiors.

And in the chemical industry, not to mention him, even Old Liu, who had worked in an oil refinery, didn't quite understand. What could he do?

But this matter has to be done. After all, the chemical plant is no less important than the steel plant, not to mention that Xu Yuanshan is also an old man, so he has to give him face.

Besides, today's chemical factories are no longer small factories in the past. The disinfectant produced alone supports half of the sky of foreign exchange!

Especially recently, I heard that the flu has broken out again abroad, and even Xiangjiang has been affected. As a result, the market for Meihua Qingrejiedu Liquid, which had just cooled down, is booming again.

It is said that the plum blossom heat-clearing and detoxifying liquid is not particularly effective this time, but I can’t help people asking for psychological comfort!

That's the case domestically, with the state monopolizing purchases and sales, so there isn't much fluctuation.

But the prices abroad are several times higher than those in China, but there are still people who want them, and the supply is still in short supply.

It seems that Xiangjiang has become a transit platform, and many domestically supported companies have been resold.

Really, not a son of man.

Therefore, chemical plants really make money, making other departments jealous.

Can you imagine that the income from a small bag of disinfectant in the past six months is more than the foreign exchange the country earns from selling so much grain?

Can you imagine a scene where a group of big guys go to a chemical plant regardless of their business, openly visiting, but secretly fighting over each other?

If it weren't for Mr. Huang and the others to find their old superiors, and the old superiors to find their old superiors, this chemical plant would probably have been eaten alive.

Now the chemical factory is producing disinfectant day and night, and the workers are working in four shifts.

Even if production equipment is added, it is still not enough.

It’s really evil.

So there were some things that he felt unsure about even after he signed them, but they were still written down in his notebook.

Let’s talk about it again when Yang Xiaotao comes back.

See if it fits.

"Lao Yang! Let's read the report submitted by the steel factory."

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Huaimin suddenly spoke from the side.

Yang Youning looked back, then shook his head, "Lou Xiao'e just sorted it out, I haven't had time to look at it yet."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Huaimin took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Wang Guodong beside him immediately took out a lighter. Liu Huaimin took out the cigarette case that he had no choice but to put back, and several people divided the cigarettes one by one.

Yes, it would be a mistake to take out the cigarette at this time.

I miss Yang Xiaotao a little, that guy never lacks cigarettes.

"I took a look. According to the current increase method, if the output of the steel plant remains unchanged, in another three months, it will not be able to supply our needs!"

"Also, last time I went to the meeting, Mr. Xia mentioned that domestic construction is now in full swing, and there is a huge gap in steel. There will be some changes in what was originally promised to us."

Hearing this, Yang Youning took a long puff of cigarette and said, "In other words, the steel that was promised to us will go to waste?"

Liu Huaimin nodded.

On the side, Wang Guodong and Chen Gong frowned, as did several machine factory supervisors behind him.

They know that the amount of steel used by the machinery factory every day is not a small amount.

Compared with the previous steel rolling mill, it has increased by at least ten times.

The machine tools in the second workshop must be made of steel.

The engines in the third workshop also use steel.

The Kuiniu armored vehicles in the fourth workshop are even more steel monsters.

As for the first workshop and the newly established fifth workshop, one pot and one air conditioner, although they use less steel, they use more alloys.

What's more, the output is more than the three workshops combined.

Especially for air conditioners, with the current production efficiency, orders from important domestic units are almost scheduled until the end of the year.

Export orders have been scheduled by the Ministry of Commerce until after the new year.

There's no way, it's just so hot.

Such a large amount of steel is used, even if all steel plants are replaced by converters for steel making, it will just meet the consumption of the machinery plant in one month.

But the machinery factory is constantly expanding and developing, especially the branch factories below. The production of agricultural machinery is equally important.

Therefore, Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin applied to the above more than once to support the machinery factory steel.

Mr. Xia also communicated with the First Machinery Department about this matter.

But now it seems that this is difficult to do.

"Well, anyway, we are in trouble internally."

Liu Huaimin's eyes turned blue when he thought of the scene when he met Mr. Xia. It was probably another solution provided by the Ministry of Machinery.

Just depending on the situation, I probably didn’t win this time.

"If you can't do it internally, you have to do it externally!"

Yang Youning suddenly spoke, Liu Huaimin looked over and nodded, "I think so too."

"However, we need to find the right person to do this."

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Wang Guodong, who was holding a cigarette butt at the side, was moved in his heart, "There's no need to look for it, let Xiao Tao go."

Everyone around looked over, which made Wang Guodong feel embarrassed.

"Old Wang, I just discovered today that you are really the pomegranate of the beginning of autumn, you have a lot of ideas!"

Chen Gong said immediately, and Liu Huaimin nodded, "Yes, I think so too."

"This kid can speak a few words anywhere. If he comes forward, he will at least be better than us!"

Yang Youning smiled even more, "Don't tell me, if you break it down, this guy has a relationship with the Second Machine Department, the Third Machine Department, not to mention the Seventh Machine Department, the Logistics Department, and Shanghai Over there, the steel mill there is not small!"

Several people nodded after hearing this.

Only Wang Guodong remained silent. The reason why he suggested Yang Xiaotao go was because Yang Xiaotao could drink.
