Scholars in the courtyard

"Okay, the second one!"

"What, there's a second one?"

Yang Xiaotao had just put down the enamel pot. After the previous confrontation, he felt his throat dry!

"Of course there's a second one."

Old Wang also put down the water cup and smiled at the people in the room with a smug look on his face.

"When will our machine tool be repaired? It's almost the end of the first month of the year. You kid, you didn't forget it."

"Our factory has been waiting for production. And if you don't fix it, how can we produce these screws? Don't blame us for delaying your work..."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao was not anxious.

To say so much is nothing more than one, there is no gain without early rise.

For this leader, Yang Xiaotao has also dealt with him a lot, and he knows his character well.

This is a person who can put down his face for the revolution.

He is also a real revolutionary who lives in poverty and has no desires.

For such a person, there are some things that you can't refuse.

After talking on the phone for a long time, Yang Xiaotao interrupted.

"Old man, come on! Just say what you want to do!"

"Hey, haha!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Old Wang leaned back in his chair, and laughed without caring about the other people in the office.

"You kid, I have to say, you are thicker-skinned than your father-in-law, and you are shameless enough."

Old Wang began to get to the point, and Yang Xiaotao also pricked up his ears to listen.

"The first is the matter of the machine tool. Last time Liu Huaimin asked me to find you, but Shicheng replied that they wanted to send the machine tool back with you. That's not possible. We can't wait for the trip back and forth."

Yang Xiaotao thought of the last time and said unhappily, "Last time you said that you would send one over first for your use. This is obviously a freeloader. We are not stupid, how can we agree to it."

"What are you talking about? That's what we mean. Can't you be a little dumber, and be stubborn with your father-in-law!"

While talking, Ran's father sat beside him in the room, holding a water cup and drinking water non-stop.

Mr. Qian on the side shook his head helplessly. This was for the sake of profit, and even his own people were blackened.

Seeing that Ran's father was mentioned, Yang Xiaotao couldn't say anything more.

"How about we both take a step back on this matter?"

"How do you say we should take a step back?"

"Simple, you just go to Shicheng and help fix it."

"I don't have time, I'm busy here."

Yang Xiaotao refused without thinking.

"What are you busy with? Are you still not giving up on that engine? Let me tell you, that thing can't be made by one person and one workshop. You have to be practical and can't..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Yang Xiaotao interrupted Mr. Wang's nagging, "It's not about the engine. I can't leave here. Besides, I can't be used for a machine tool."

"This..."

Mr. Wang suddenly hesitated after hearing this, and Yang Xiaotao heard something wrong.

"No, there is something else going on here?"

Ahem

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Mr. Wang did not hide it, "Didn't those bastards take the initiative to make a part and replace it, and the result was"

"The result was that the machine tool was broken!"

Yang Xiaotao answered, and Mr. Wang stammered.

Precision machine tools like Morningstar cannot just replace any part.

Inconsistent precision is like a rat dropping mixed in a pot of porridge, and the final result is overall destruction.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xiaotao finally decided to help, but he would not go.

"Well, I will arrange two engineers to lead the team, both of whom are old workers who produce machine tools."

"The screw matter..."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "You are not willing to suffer any loss!"

"Forget it, let you get another one for free!"

"We have made three more here, we can do this ourselves!"

"Okay, that's good, good."

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Wang waved his fist, and it was obvious that this was his purpose.

But when he heard that three more were made, his face wrinkled again.

This kid must have deliberately provoked him.

"Okay, you arrange it as soon as possible, they are still waiting for production!"

He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Fighting with this kid will make your hair turn white.

"How about two Morning Stars? This time our research has settled down!"

Old Wang said happily, and Old Qian nodded beside him, "In this way, we can produce special screws. Research has made a lot of progress!"

Father Ran put down the cup, "Yes, as long as the manufacturing can keep up, the speed of our research can be improved!"

Director Li listened on the side, and then laughed, "Is this my last residual heat?"

"Of course not, Old Li, we work together, how can it be called residual heat? You have to continue to shine for the Seventh Ministry of Machinery."

"Even if you go to the Machinery Factory, you are still a member of our Seventh Ministry of Machinery. If there are any good things in the Machinery Factory in the future, you have to think about your mother's home..."

Old Wang said without any concern, and Director Li felt helpless.

He knew what he should do and how to do it when he went to the west this time.

As for supporting the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, that was a bit difficult.

"Okay, I'll treat you tonight, let's go to Old Ran's house for a meal."

Ahem

Father Ran choked on the water and was very confused.

Aren't you the host?

"No way, who let your family have surplus food!"

Old Wang said seriously, and Father Ran was speechless.

On the other side, after Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone, he sat in a chair and thought about the cause and effect.

The news about Li Chengjun and Director Li went through his mind.

The first time they came into contact was when Ran's father was entertaining guests at home. At that time, several of them came back together from the northwest and then joined various machine departments to participate in work.

Later, he joined the Seven Machinery Department with Ran's father.

The difference is that Ran's father is in charge of research and development, while Li Chengjun is mainly responsible for logistics and resource allocation.

But now it seems that this person is obviously one of our own!

"Allocating resources, no wonder."

Yang Xiaotao somewhat understood the leader's intention.

Presumably, I will explain the situation to him in advance and get vaccinated.

As for Mr. Wang telling him in advance in this way, it also made him mentally prepared.

Thinking that it was the chief's arrangement, Yang Xiaotao stopped thinking about it and prepared to talk to Liu Huaimin about going to Shicheng.

As for the appointment of the director of the second branch factory, this will wait until the appointment is issued by the superiors.

The fewer people know about specific things, the better.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked to the secretary's office.

When he came to the house, Liu Huaimin was busy dealing with recent matters.

"coming!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming, Liu Huaimin raised his head and glanced, then buried it in the documents again.

"Lao Yang told you, over here in Quancheng, Wang Dahai wants an eight-cylinder diesel engine. What do you think?"

"There are also automobile manufacturers. They want to cooperate. The two companies want to win this task."

As Liu Huaimin spoke, he pushed a document forward.

"By the way, there's also the chemical plant..."

Liu Huaimin continued talking, but found that Yang Xiaotao was not moving. He looked up and saw that even Yang Xiaotao was just sitting aside, waiting quietly.

"Is something wrong?"

Liu Huaimin raised his head and asked seriously.

"Well, last time I talked about the machine tools of the Seventh Machinery Department, I have something going on here."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin spoke immediately, "There are a lot of things going on here at the machinery factory. If you can't help it, don't go."

"That's what I said, but the situation there is still unclear. I plan to send Chen Bin and Pang Guo to go there with a few workers."

"Okay, go as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."

The two talked for a while, and Yang Xiaotao finally took over the affairs of Wang Dahai and Liu Dehui and left the secretary's office.

When he returned to the office, he called the two of them one by one. They exchanged pleasantries with each other. The two parties had a good basis for cooperation, and Yang Xiaotao would not let the other party suffer.

After all, this kind of technology is available to everyone, so why not give it to those who are close to you?

What's more, regarding the greenhouse straw matter, I really owe Quancheng a favor.

Wang Dahai was naturally happy from ear to ear on the phone, and kept asking Yang Xiaotao to go to Quancheng, and he would entertain him with the best wine.

Moreover, it was said that in addition to producing diesel engines at Quancheng Machinery Factory, Ludong is also preparing to support diesel engine research in Weizhou City to meet the peninsula's demand for machinery.

Yang Xiaotao naturally had no objection to this.

After the two phone calls were completed, Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and saw that it was already mid-afternoon.

Then he asked Lou Xiao'e to find Chen Bin and Pang Guo.

After talking about Shicheng in the office, neither of them had any objections. After all, Shicheng was not far from Sijiu City, and it only took less than a day by train.

Besides, this trip was just to repair the machine tool.

During this period of time in the workshop, they had already memorized the structure of the Morning Star. It shouldn't be a problem to bring two level seven fitters there by then.

The two asked about the precautions, talked about the latest arrangements, and then decided to set off the day after tomorrow.

After the two left, Yang Xiaotao asked Lou Xiao'e to contact Shicheng to finalize the matter and do a good job of picking them up when the time comes.

He also said hello to Liang Zuoxin and asked the Machinery Factory Security Office to send a few people to escort him along the way. After all, this was a valuable talent of the Machinery Factory and nothing could go wrong.

After finishing the matter, Yang Xiaotao continued to take out the engine drawings and study them.

Now we have reached the design of the ‘combustion chamber’, which seems a bit brain-burning.

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month and the fourteenth day of the second lunar month are Valentine’s Day.

The sky is clear, the wind is gentle, and it is slightly cold.

Yang Xiaotao took Bai Jingshu and others from the pharmaceutical factory to Yangjiazhuang to check the growth status of the herbs in the greenhouse.

At this moment, the pharmaceutical factory's herbal medicine warehouse is basically exhausted.

The next Artemisia annua oral liquid and plasters will have to use the herbs here.

"How about it? Isn't it spectacular?"

Standing on the river dam, Yang Xiaotao pointed to the neatly arranged greenhouses in front and said proudly.

Beside him, Bai Jingshu came here for the first time and saw this scene for the first time.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, not only him, but also other people in the pharmaceutical factory couldn't help but nod.

In particular, Gong Xiangjun, the deputy director in charge of purchasing, pinched his hands together and kept rubbing them, "With so many greenhouses and so many herbs, how much money do you have to earn?"

"No, I have to go down and take a look to feel at ease."

After saying that, he ran down the dam in a hurry and disappeared into the silver waves.

"Mr. Yang, sometimes I really don't understand."

Bai Jingshu spoke suddenly, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao's tough face, "There are researches in mechanical research, agricultural production, chemistry, and even biology."

"What else is there that you can't do?"

"Haha, you think too highly of me. Those are just superficial things. There's not much I can do."

Yang Xiaotao said nonchalantly, "It's just like the engine of the plane, isn't it?"

"No, I don't think that's a problem."

Now it was Yang Xiaotao's turn to be surprised, because in the entire machinery factory, except for those people in the first workshop, no one else thought it could be done.

"Are you so confident?"

Bai Jingshu smiled and said, "It's not confidence, it's intuition."

"And women's intuition is often very accurate."

"I think you can definitely do it. When the time comes, it will be another earth-shattering achievement."

Yang Xiaotao nodded silently, "Then I'll borrow your good words."
