Scholars in the courtyard

"Mr. Yang, long time no see!"

Outside the gate of the refrigerator factory, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin got out of the car and saw a group of people approaching with enthusiastic smiles.

"Secretary Ning, long time no see!"

Yang Xiaotao also smiled and reached out to shake hands with the old man in front of him.

"A hero emerges from a boy! It's amazing!"

"The last time we came here, it was for air conditioning. We really didn't expect that it would take so long to make it."

"This makes us ashamed!"

Secretary Ning kept holding Yang Xiaotao's hand with both hands, as if he was seeing a rare treasure, fearing that it would be gone as soon as he put it down.

Everyone who came behind them also nodded frequently after hearing this, especially Director Du who was beside him, who even added more.

"I could tell when I came here last time that Mr. Yang is not an ordinary person."

"Now it seems that ordinary people can do this?"

"Yep!"

Everyone behind him smiled and agreed.

Among them, there are not only leaders from refrigerator factories, but also leaders from mechanical and electrical plants and broadcasting plants.

Everyone catered to him and didn't take Yang Xiaotao's age to heart at all.

Even if Yang Xiaotao is as old as their children and grandchildren.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally, under the leadership of Factory Director Du, he met the people behind him.

"Mr. Yang, this is Director Wang of the Electrical Machinery Factory!"

"Director Wang, nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Yang is young and promising..."

Here Yang Xiaotao is meeting everyone, and Lao Jin beside him is like a secretary, ignored by everyone.

However, Lao Jin was not angry because of the different treatment.

In fact, seeing Yang Xiaotao being surrounded like this, I felt even more proud.

Even though I am the same thing as you, my grandson is something extraordinary.

If compared to his grandson, who is more powerful than his grandson?

No.

Not to mention there are no people of the same age as him, even those who are older than him, how many are more powerful than him?

"Lao Jin, Lao Jin!"

Secretary Ning came over with a smile and immediately hugged Lao Jin.

"Old Ning, thank you!"

The two hugged each other and Lao Jin spoke softly.

He knew that if these old brothers hadn't put pressure on the national cotton factory, maybe everyone would be gone.

Not to mention their comeback.

"What are you talking about? We are all old brothers. Just hope the child is fine!"

"and…"

Secretary Ning looked around and lowered his voice and said, "This is also to eliminate harm for the people!"

Lao Jin punched the opponent's chest with his fist, "If you say this, I will feel at ease!"

"That won't work. You have to owe us a favor. You can't stop drinking this lunch!"

"Haha, return the favor. If your refrigerator factory succeeds this time, it will make a lot of money. If it weren't for me, would you have such a good thing?"

Having said this, Lao Jin glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and then smiled mysteriously, "You don't know, Lao Feng is waiting right behind you!"

Speaking of this, Secretary Ning's heart tightened.

Lao Feng is the secretary of the electric fan factory. It seems that the two companies are about the same strength.

The influence in Shanghai is the same. It is really hard to say if we really want to win the production of this air conditioner!

As for other factories, since we can cooperate with their refrigerator factory, we can also cooperate with the electric fan factory.

Who asked them to provide parts?

Of course, there are more than one suppliers of parts and components, and there is also competition.

So this time we came together as a group to show our sincerity.

"Lao Jin, you have to help me!"

"The other side has already said that all the power is left to him!"

Secretary Ning whispered, their refrigerator factory pointed to this air conditioner and brought it back to life.

No way, who allowed this air conditioner to be exported to earn foreign exchange?

As long as they take this piece of meat, they can return blood and continue to develop.

And the decision-making power of all this lies in the hands of that young man.

"It would be great if I could bring him here! What else do you expect!"

Lao Jin did not agree directly. After saying this, he lowered his head and whispered, "Let me tell you, he came here mainly to see your follow-up research and development capabilities."

"Do you understand?"

Secretary Ning raised his head suddenly, then looked at his back, and immediately understood something.

While Yang Xiaotao was meeting everyone, Secretary Ning hurriedly walked to the side and waved to the workshop director who came over.

"Go and call Team Leader Guo over!"

"Team Leader Guo? Which one?"

"Who else? The one who makes air conditioners, hurry up!"

What did the workshop director think of, "But, secretary, it's a holiday!"

"You can't come during the holiday? I'm telling you, ten minutes. If you can't come in ten minutes, just wait for the punishment!"

The workshop director looked panicked and ran away immediately.

If you are punished at this time, it is strange that you can get the benefits of the New Year.

After Yang Xiaotao had met everyone, he walked to the conference room under the leadership of Secretary Ning.

A group of people were walking in the factory, and the surroundings were empty and deserted.

Yang Xiaotao also knows that nowadays there are fewer work tasks and factories will take holidays in advance, which can also alleviate logistical pressure.

"I learned last night that you were coming, so I was in such a hurry that I didn't make any preparations!"

Director Du was smiling at the side, but Yang Xiaotao didn't take it seriously.

"It's okay. I was here last time and I still understand the situation in your factory."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was so easy to talk to, Director Du also breathed a sigh of relief.

When everyone came to the conference room, Yang Xiaotao declined Secretary Ning's invitation and just sat behind Lao Jin.

Secretary Ning glanced at the proud Lao Jin, with envy in his eyes.

With such a grandson, he always has a long face wherever he goes!

"Mr. Yang, thank you for coming all the way. We are all very happy!"

Secretary Ning spoke.

Yang Xiaotao nodded politely, "It is also an honor for this junior to be able to sit here with all the seniors."

"Mr. Yang is young and promising, but he is also humble in his treatment of others. He is such a talented person. No wonder the machinery factory has soared into the sky!"

Director Wang sighed with emotion, and Secretary Li of the broadcasting equipment factory also nodded.

"We have heard from the radio that there are many machinery factories. Among other things, their growth rate in the past few years is faster than that of automobile factories!"

"Right, Lao Jin!"

Secretary Li did not forget to tease Lao Jin next to him.

"Hey, we were number one in the country at that time. This kid is still far behind..."

"Lao Jin, you are so immodest!"

"That's right, you are just making cars. There are many other things made by machine tools and cars..."

For a time, the lively atmosphere spread on the table, and the distance between the two parties was shortened in just a few words.

At this time, a person quietly walked in from outside and sat aside.

"Secretary Ning, Director Du!"

Yang Xiaotao looked around and spoke slowly. When the people around him heard Yang Xiaotao speak, they immediately stopped communicating and looked up at Yang Xiaotao.

Secretary Ning and the other two were also attentive, waiting for Yang Xiaotao's decision.

"You two also heard about the machine factory."

"Because of our repositioning, some technologies need to be opened to the outside world, and some products need to be decentralized to expand domestic production capacity."

Yang Xiaotao said softly, and everyone nodded.

Hongxing Machinery Factory became a factory directly under the headquarters, and its status was already above their factories.

They don't know how many factories are directly under the headquarters, but they are certainly not many.

If nothing else, there is no one here who has a higher rank than Yang Xiaotao!

This is status.

As your status improves, your horizons will improve, no longer just one factory or one corner, but the whole place and the whole country.

Seeing everyone nodding, Yang Xiaotao spoke again.

"I am here this time just to discuss cooperation issues with you on air-conditioning production!"

The people around me straightened their backs after hearing this.

"Our refrigerator factory, and all the factories here here, are very sincere about this!"

Secretary Ning said seriously.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I have already felt this!"

Everyone smiled.

"However, Secretary Ning, and everyone, I want to hear about the future plans for air conditioning!"

Yang Xiaotao changed the subject and stated his request.

Everyone understands that if the answer to this question is not answered well, the duck in hand may fly away.

There was silence in the conference room for a moment.

Director Du was not prepared for this question at all. He didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look at Secretary Ning.

"People may think that just producing air conditioners will be enough."

When Yang Xiaotao saw that everyone was silent, he started to explain.

“But in fact, every product has its own effectiveness!”

"Some of this effectiveness is improved by itself based on customer feedback!"

"Some of it is competition among peers, which involves a lot."

Yang Xiaotao looked around, and everyone nodded, obviously hearing it.

"The international environment we are facing now requires us to continue to develop and improve to maintain the advantages we are striving for now."

Having said this, Yang Xiaotao looked at Secretary Ning.

"For air conditioners with the same performance, people abroad will choose those from their own country or from the same camp, but they will not choose ours!"

"this is the truth!"

"So, I want to hear what methods can be used to maintain this advantage in the future."

When it comes to this topic, everyone is a high-level elite in each factory, so they all understand the meaning of the words.

Secretary Ning was grateful to Lao Jin for the reminder, which gave him time to think about the problem along the way.

"Mr. Yang, I can't tell you exactly what to do about this problem!"

"But I can say what we will do!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. If he knew exactly how to do it, he wouldn't have to do it. He could just issue the task directly.

Having said this, Secretary Ning waved to the people who came in, "Team Leader Guo!"

Yang Xiaotao looked back and saw a man standing up from behind and saying hello to everyone.

"Secretary, Mr. Yang!"

This person Yang Xiaotao had some impressions.

I had interacted with the designer and manufacturer of the first window air conditioner in China when I came here last time.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and stepped forward to shake hands.

"Guo Gong! Long time no see!"

"Yang, Mr. Yang!"

The two shook hands, and Secretary Ning walked up to them.

"Mr. Yang, our factory will establish a new R\u0026D institution in the future."

"This Comrade Guo will be our future director in charge of air-conditioning R\u0026D and design!"

"We will be proactive and enterprising based on market feedback and domestic and international situations, and will never rest on our laurels!"

When Guo Gong heard Secretary Ning say this, he was also heartbroken.

Are you going to become the director?

I have been working in the factory for more than ten years and have always been the team leader, but now I am the director?

His eyes fell on Yang Xiaotao's smile, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"That's good!"

"We very much welcome your factory to establish a research office."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Engineer Guo, "Our machinery factory has set up a separate R\u0026D department. In the future, we can communicate more, promote each other, and develop together!"

"Yes, yes, learn from each other and promote each other!"

When Secretary Ning saw that Yang Xiaotao was so concerned about this matter, he immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao valued.

Talent!

Yang Xiaotao pulled Engineer Guo to his side, and the meeting continued.

And then it was just as everyone imagined, the cooperation with the machinery factory went smoothly.

Yang Xiaotao, on behalf of the Red Star Machinery Factory, officially completed the cooperation with the refrigerator factory in the production of air conditioners.

As for the parts and equipment used in the production of air conditioners, the refrigerator factory will conduct secondary cooperation with some surrounding factories.

In this cooperation, both parties clarified the rights and responsibilities of the development of air conditioners, and also clarified the obligations to be assumed.

Finally, some of Yang Xiaotao's views on air conditioners can be regarded as some inspiration for the refrigerator factory in the future.

"I think there are still many areas for improvement in air conditioners. For example, the size of the air conditioner and the noise problem, we have studied ways to reduce noise."

"Also in terms of operation, can the temperature be controlled by a remote control? There are ways to control the wind speed..."

"I think these will be helpful for your work!"
