Scholars in the courtyard

Just as Yang Xiaotao and the others were discussing how to maximize the use of the money and achieve the desired results in the office, news about a hundred Mole armored vehicles spread quickly, along with the information obtained by the machinery factory. award.

This is not because someone is deliberately promoting it, but after these tens of millions of foreign exchange are allocated to various departments, it naturally attracts everyone's attention.

After all, to solve the funding problem, you have to know whose favor you are accepting.

Especially those departments and projects that are in urgent need of financial support, they were told a lot when they received the money.

So and so earns this money. Comrades, making money is not easy. You must save some money, complete the task as soon as possible, learn from so and so, and strive to contribute to revolutionary construction...

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the machinery factory to become famous.

Even in the reconstruction of the disaster area, many publicity loudspeakers were shouting, congratulations to the machinery factory for its achievements, which made the reputation already established in the disaster area even louder.

Three Machinery Department.

Zhang Lao looked at the report handed over by Director Zheng. At this moment, both of them had complicated moods.

I think back when their Third Aircraft Department took over the task of researching new aircraft from their superiors, even though they cooperated with other departments, this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people still makes them excited.

To this end, the entire No. 3 Machinery Department has deployed the best team, mobilized all feasible forces, and even prepared sufficient funds, in order to keep this honor in the No. 3 Machinery Department.

But more than a year later, I watched other departments complete their tasks. At the final stage of assembly, their research was still on the engine, and it was difficult to move forward!

What's more important is that the task was delayed, which is not a small responsibility.

Honor, responsibility, disappointment...

The original joy, excitement and honor were all defeated by reality, and now all that remains in the hearts of everyone is helplessness!

Helplessly persist!

"Chief, this is our revised plan. We have made overall adjustments based on the problems that have been exposed. The design drawings have been re-planned, and the materials involved have also been adjusted. In addition, we have also..."

Director Zheng was a little embarrassed when he said this.

Nothing else. He didn't dare to come up with this plan without the money.

I also received the news from above today, so I brought it here.

Mr. Zhang knows all this.

Nothing else, because this plan is also the one most likely to succeed at the moment.

But it is also the most expensive one.

If it were in the past, their three machine divisions would be able to take action if they had a big business.

But now, after several twists and turns, the family's wealth has been reduced to a detriment.

In particular, the follow-up testing work of the aircraft is a major investment.

There is a limit on the engine's R\u0026D funds, and I thought it could be successfully developed. After all, there are reference drawings provided by the alliance, and the design team is also an experienced and outstanding engineer. Logically speaking, the current problem should not occur.

But now, failures occur frequently, problems arise one after another, but success can be seen but cannot be grasped!

Mr. Zhang also knew the reason, but he could not blame the comrades working under him.

Because the pressure on them is no less than on themselves, they are also eager to succeed.

But this success comes at a price!

Among them, the materials consumed account for the largest proportion.

Even if there is no strong wind, even if it is materials provided by domestic factories, even if it is internal control, you still need to pay!

As for money, it is impossible to print unlimitedly, otherwise the money will be worthless!

The previous research and design, the subsequent production of each department, and the final verification experiment were all big spenders, and they were all funds squeezed out by their third machine department.

But after repeated failures, these are not only big spenders, but also big money burners.

Now, this plan is equivalent to solving all the problems at once. Many of the materials and equipment used in it either require increased local investment in research and development, or they need to be imported from abroad, either of which is a big spender.

Mr. Zhang took the document and although he already understood the contents, he still read it again.

The office was quiet, neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until Mr. Zhang finished reading and closed the file that he looked up at Director Zheng.

"If you think it's okay, then go ahead and do it!"

"Let me tell you comrades, don't worry, just act steadily!"

Mr. Zhang said calmly. In fact, he couldn't ask for more.

The situation in front of me is really like climbing a tree and running out of energy halfway up. You can't go up, and you are still unwilling to come down.

Director Zheng naturally understood the meaning of the words, and his face became cautious.

"Chief, don't worry, comrades all know it!"

Mr. Zhang nodded, and Director Zheng took the plan and left the office.

After Director Zheng left, Mr. Zhang leaned on his chair and let out a breath of turbid air.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhang picked up the phone and dialed.

"Old Huang, it's me!"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Huang was playing chess with Mr. Xia in the room. When his secretary said that Mr. Zhang had called, he rushed over to answer the phone.

"Zhang Ban, why do you have time to call me?"

Huang Lao held two chess pieces in his hand and kept circling them, looking very comfortable.

There is no other way. He has a group of capable people who make his work very worry-free.

Of course, the more important thing is to have money on hand and not panic.

It is said that when people are poor, there are many troubles, and all conflicts are caused by insufficient distribution of interests.

When you have money and everyone under you has enough to eat, who will have nothing to do?

As for the above-mentioned development tasks, it may be a headache for several other machine departments.

But in the First Machinery Department, there are no important tasks at all.

Because the above tasks can be completed step by step, and there is no need to spend a lot of time or work desperately.

And the reason for this is not the Red Star Machinery Factory!

In recent years, driven by the machinery factory, the First Machinery Department has been running forward on the right track, whether it is machinery manufacturing or infrastructure construction.

In this state, they don't have to worry at all.

Even worrying about it will result in half the effort and affect the current situation.

So just let it go and have the right direction at the critical moment.

This is also the reason why several of their leaders can play chess leisurely in the office.

If it were left to other departments, this would be impossible.

Huang Lao was in a beautiful mood at this time!

I just received the news that a lot of money was allocated to the Red Star Machinery Factory. Liu Huaimin personally called to thank the First Machinery Department for its support in personnel support and said that the factory would give certain compensation to the workers.

After saying this, I asked him to veto it.

What is given to you is what is given to you, just take it and use it, don’t worry about other things!

They have a big business and a machine department, so they don't need this small amount of money.

Of course, what makes him happy is the attitude of the other party!

What does this mean? It means that this is my mother's family!

Just after Mr. Huang finished speaking, Mr. Zhang's voice came on the phone, "Old Huang, I originally wanted to call the machinery factory to thank you, but after thinking about it, it felt a little abrupt."

"So I'm going to call you and thank them for me!"

Mr. Huang laughed twice after hearing this, "That's it. What did I think was going on? This is what they should have done. Why should I be grateful!"

"That's not okay. I took advantage of them this time. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I have to thank you for this favor!"

"Okay, okay, I understand, tell them something when the time comes, and I will definitely bring it to you!"

Huang Lao said quickly, and then asked, "Zhang Ban, what are you doing? How are you doing?"

“Still improving!”

Mr. Zhang's face turned red when he said this, and Mr. Huang exclaimed, "Is that thing so difficult?"

"I heard that Lao Qin was also tortured a lot. He was away from home all day long and almost lost weight. Is it true?"

Mr. Huang said this with a sense of gloating, but Mr. Zhang couldn't refute because the logistics department was not as good as them!

"It's difficult, not ordinary!"

Mr. Zhang is not someone who can't afford to let go. The fact is that it's useless even to cover it up.

"The first one is that the design is difficult. Even if we have the alliance's design drawings as reference, it is still difficult for us to make some changes!"

“A seemingly insignificant change may involve a host of problems later.”

"Even if it's designed, it's still difficult to manufacture. No matter what the material is, some have to be conquered, some have to be processed, and precision is required..."

"The final product must be inspected as a whole. If it does not meet the requirements, the problem must be found..."

"Redesign, then reselect materials..."

After Mr. Zhang finished talking to Mr. Huang, a lot of the depression in his heart was relieved, and his mood became more comfortable.

Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, the smile on Mr. Huang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity.

These days, too many experiments have been terminated due to lack of money. Just their Machinery Department, how many projects did they have to research machine tools in the early years?

When Yang Xiaotao was studying Venus, the codename happened to be 666. Perhaps this was related to the situation at the time, but it is undeniable that they also conducted a lot of exploration and research before that.

But as a result, no one succeeded despite the investment of manpower and material resources.

So, if you don’t have money, you really can’t afford this research project.

Well, unless there's a freak!

Thinking of this, Mr. Huang asked, "How confident are you this time?"

"Confirmed? Let's put it this way, it will be considered good if there are no problems in this experiment. As for installing it on the machine and adjusting it, that will happen later!"

Mr. Zhang said, feeling helpless.

It’s not that their Third Aircraft Department doesn’t work hard, it’s not that they don’t want to make a better aircraft, it’s just that the aero engine is too complex and is not a task they can complete!

So much work must be completed within a time limit. This task is too difficult!

At this point, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but complain, "You don't know, our family fortune has almost been wiped out in these experiments."

"Now, many workers have received less than half of their wages. If we no longer have money to support us, we don't know if we can survive!"

"Old Huang, you have to be careful when making this thing in the future. I can see it now. If you have the ability and ability and you can make it, then you will be a hero!"

"If you don't have the ability and you still have to show off, that's a burden."

Huang Lao listened thoughtfully. It seems that this thing is more difficult to handle than mushroom eggs!

But then I thought about it. Fortunately, I didn't give them the task of a machine department, otherwise I would also have a headache at the moment.

Suddenly, Mr. Huang was excited. If I remember correctly, it seemed that Yang Xiaotao from the machinery factory was also working on aircraft engines!

If this is the case, if the Logistics Office of the Third Machinery Department cannot do it, will the higher-ups reconsider? If the firepower is diverted, then the machinery factory will not suffer a loss?

No, we have to let Zhang Ban take the lead.

So, in an instant, Mr. Huang made a choice between his brother and his daughter.

"Zhang Ban, no matter how hard it is, comrades, we all have families to support, and we can't live without paying salaries!"

"How much do you need? Give me a number. I have some rich people here, and I will send them to you when the time comes!"

"This kind of thing for the country and the people, let alone anything else, what do you need?"

After hearing this, Zhang Lao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he thought that his subordinates also had to eat and their families also had to live, he swallowed his words of refusal and threw the pride in his heart to the ground.

"Okay, I thank you on behalf of the comrades!"

"What you said is that we are all revolutionary comrades, and we should help each other. So, tomorrow I will have someone send you 300,000 yuan. If it is not enough, we will talk about it. I am in a hurry here, and this is all."

"If it takes longer, there will still be one million!"

While Huang Lao talked freely, Zhang Lao on the other side opened his mouth wide, and finally could only respond with two "hmm".

It was not until he hung up the phone that he realized that those businesses that make money from exports are all from the First Ministry of Machine Building!

"Really, a big family with a lot of business!"
