Scholars in the courtyard

Chaoyang.

Outside the institute, a group of people surrounded a machine and looked around, touching and knocking it from time to time.

"Teacher, is this the thresher that Teacher Yang talked about?"

Yu Hua asked quietly, rubbing his fingers on the machine, with a curious look on his face.

The last time Yang Xiaotao called, in addition to saying that he would come, he also mentioned this thresher.

At first, they didn't know what it was.

Later, they found some newspaper information and knew what a thresher was.

This thing is very powerful for threshing wheat in the north. One machine is equivalent to dozens of laborers.

And it is said that this machine can not only thresh wheat, but also rice.

If this is true, then they can save a lot of effort when harvesting.

"Yes, it should be. This is what Teacher Yang said, the thresher."

Teacher Yuan opened his mouth wide and looked at the machine in front of him, and was also shocked.

If he were to discuss rice breeding, he could still say a few things, but when it comes to machine research, he is really a complete idiot.

But when I think about the fact that this machine was made by Yang Xiaotao, I feel a little bit of admiration in my heart.

He is really a versatile person.

"Teacher, when will Teacher Yang come? I can't wait to see it."

An Ran was also looking at the thresher next to him.

These days, it is a big deal for a village to have a tractor, and now the town has specially sent a thresher.

It was sent by Teacher Yang.

How could they not be happy?

Even the villagers around the experimental field heard about it and were watching on the road.

It is said that when it was sent, they lined the road to welcome it.

How many people heard about it and wanted to pull this machine back to the village.

"Yes, teacher, where is Teacher Yang?"

Yu Hua asked on the side, and the others around him also pricked up their ears to listen.

The rice in the field is now ripe and can be harvested at any time.

And according to their experience, the yield of rice in this experimental field is definitely higher than the general rice yield.

The exact amount will be known only after the harvest.

But they dare to say that this experiment is more than half successful.

"I don't know about this either."

Teacher Yuan said helplessly.

Now not only he wants to know where Yang Xiaotao went, but also the people in Sijiucheng want to find him.

He also said that if he saw Yang Xiaotao, he must let him call back.

Obviously, Sijiucheng also has something to find Yang Xiaotao.

On the train heading south.

Yang Xiaotao sat by the window and flipped through the pages of a book. He seemed to be immersed in it and turned a deaf ear to other things!

Opposite, Xiaobo dozed against the window, but his eyes swept around, alert to any possible danger.

As for Wang Hao and Hao Pingchuan, they were lying on the seats not far from the two of them.

There was no way, there were not many people on this train, and there were only about ten people in the entire carriage.

The large area of ​​​​empty seats gave the two of them plenty of space to rest.

Especially Hao Pingchuan, who was snoring softly at this moment.

"Mr. Yang, do you want to take a break?"

"I've been reading all the way. Now we're almost at the station. Take a break."

Xiaobo said, but Yang Xiaotao pretended not to hear him and continued to look at the Art of War in his hand.

Xiaobo had no choice but to get up and pick up the kettle to fetch water.

After Xiaobo left, a little head popped out of Yang Xiaotao's pocket, and then flew to the window to receive the scorching sun from the south.

Even so, Xiaowei's mental state was not very good.

Obviously, she consumed a lot of energy when she was at Jinling College.

That's right, when Yang Xiaotao saw the old man, he asked Xiaowei to help and transfer some of his energy to the old man.

It would be fine if he didn't see him.

This time he finally saw him. If he didn't try his best to help, he wouldn't be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.

Yang Xiaotao also knew that this kind of help was only a temporary solution.

But a little help is a little help.

"Master, it's so hot here."

Xiao Wei's voice rang in his mind. Yang Xiaotao, who was reading, closed the book and looked out the window to soothe his eyes.

"Yes, this is the south, and it's hot."

"Do you like it?"

"I like it!"

"Then stay here for a while."

"Swoosh~~"

Xiao Wei smiled and spun in the air, then fell into Yang Xiaotao's pocket.

Not far away, Xiao Bo came over with a kettle.

"Mr. Yang, we will arrive at Meizhou Station in half an hour, and the car will stop for three minutes."

"After getting off the train, we still have to drive for more than two hours to get to Chaozhou."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. He took this route the last time he came here, so he was not unfamiliar with the itinerary.

Hao Pingchuan sat up after hearing the noise, shook his head, and then said, "It would be great if there was a direct train, so there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Xiaobo nodded, "The domestic train industry has developed very fast in the past two years, but it's still not fast enough."

"Building train lines requires steel. If our steel production doesn't increase, the train industry won't develop."

Yang Xiaotao said, and the two nodded.

Xiaobo then said, "The local authorities have already made arrangements in advance. When we get off the train, they will arrange a vehicle to pick us up."

"That's good."

Yang Xiaotao said, and then thought of something, "Can you arrange a phone call?"

"Tell Chaoyang in advance."

"No problem."

Xiaobo said, and then the four packed up and prepared to get off the train.

"Dear passengers, please pay attention. The next stop is Meizhou Station. Passengers who are getting off the train, please prepare in advance."

As the waiter's voice came out, some people in the carriage began to get up and prepare.

After the car stopped, Yang Xiaotao and the other four got off the train immediately.

As soon as they got off the train, they felt the damp and stuffy heat around them. Even though the sun was still shining on their heads, they still felt uncomfortable.

There were not many people getting on the train around them, and not many getting off the train.

It can be seen that this is a small station.

"In this weather, it feels like entering a steam room. It's uncomfortable."

Hao Pingchuan wiped his sweat and complained, but his eyes were scanning the surroundings, keeping alert.

Wang Hao was in a similar situation. He was used to the climate in the north, and he must have been a little uncomfortable in this humid environment.

Xiaobo glanced at the sign on his head, "Let's go this way."

Then he walked to the station office.

The group followed to the waiting room, showed their identities, and soon a car from the station took the four people to their destination.

When the car stopped, Yang Xiaotao took a look. The place he came to was very ordinary, surrounded by houses.

Then he walked in under the guidance of Xiaobo, and found that there was a different world inside.

People coming and going were busy with their own things.

When the person in charge came to see Xiaobo's ID, the two of them exchanged polite words, and then took them to the communication office.

Then Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and dialed it.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Teacher Yuan's voice came from it.

"Teacher Yang, it's you, where are you?"

"Teacher Yuan, we are in Meizhou, and it is estimated that we will arrive in two or three hours."

As Yang Xiaotao said, Teacher Yuan's laughter came immediately, "Do you need us to pick you up?"

"No, the local comrades will arrange the vehicle."

"Okay, then I will take people to the town to pick you up."

"Okay, thank you."

"What polite words are you saying?"

The two of them exchanged briefly for a while. The purpose of Yang Xiaotao's call was just to report the itinerary. After all, he didn't say a word when he left Jinling.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Teacher Yuan thought of the matter in Sijiucheng and said hurriedly, "Teacher Yang, your comrades from the machinery factory called several times, asking if you have arrived. Call them back when you arrive."

"I can see that they have something urgent to talk to you about."

Yang Xiaotao was about to hang up the phone, but when he heard Teacher Yuan say this, his heart sank.

Under normal circumstances, people from the machinery factory rarely take the initiative to look for him when he is on a business trip.

This time, they asked about his situation several times. I guess something happened and they can't make up their minds.

I replied immediately, "Okay, I'll call them back later."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment, and thought about calling Liu Huaimin first.

On the other side, Liu Huaimin was busy processing documents, and Lou Xiaoe was sitting next to him in the room, waiting to take the documents away after approval.

At this time, the phone on the table rang, and Liu Huaimin stopped writing and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Lao Liu, it's Yang Xiaotao."

Yang Xiaotao's voice came from the phone, and Liu Huaimin's expression suddenly became excited.

"You finally have a letter. Where have you been these days?"

"I"

"Okay, let's talk about where you've been later. I need your help with something."

Yang Xiaotao was about to speak when he was interrupted by Liu Huaimin. He knew that this must be a big deal.

Then he heard Liu Huaimin talk about the pharmaceutical factory.

"This is the situation. I don't know why we have to follow the requirements."

"Now Mr. Chen means that we have to follow the standards and give an estimation report, and it must be able to meet foreign standards."

"I talked to Director Bai about this. Unless all foreign standards are thoroughly studied, it will be useless."

Liu Huaimin briefly explained the situation, but Yang Xiaotao frowned.

His intuition told him that there must be someone behind this.

But if Mr. Chen is helpless, he must not be an ordinary person.

"Wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Chen to ask about the situation."

"Also, I'll be in Chaozhou soon. If you have anything, call the Chaozhou Research Institute directly."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao didn't rush to call, but sat on a stool and pondered.

Association?

When did such a thing pop up?

Also, considering other people's standards, this is not just meddling in other people's business.

Others may not care about these things.

But this matter is just like what Liu Huaimin said, the requirements from above must be met.

Otherwise, it will be a handle.

But if you want to do it, it's not easy to do.

It is estimated that even the internal audit department dare not guarantee that it will be done.

In this way, if time is delayed for a long time, it is easy to miss the opportunity.

Even the pharmaceutical factory will be hit.

How to avoid this situation?

Yang Xiaotao crossed his fingers and frowned.

"Medicine, medicinal wine, wine!!!"

The next second, Yang Xiaotao suddenly thought of something, clapped his hands, and smiled.

He picked up the phone and called. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered, so Yang Xiaotao had to hang up.

Three minutes later, Yang Xiaotao called again and someone answered the phone this time.

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiaotao."

A female voice came from the phone. Yang Xiaotao knew it should be Mr. Chen's female secretary, so he quickly spoke up to identify himself.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I want to see the chief."

"Okay, wait a minute."

There was no sound on the phone. Yang Xiaotao held the phone in his arm and waited for five or six minutes. When he heard a sound from the other end, he quickly cleared his throat.

"Hello, Yang Xiaotao?"

"Yes, it's me, the chief."

"Well, you called me, there must be something wrong, just tell me."

Mr. Chen was obviously a little anxious, and he went straight to the point.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything.

"Chief, I heard about the pharmaceutical factory."

"What's going on behind this?"

Mr. Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Recently, our export products have been..."

"For various reasons, I have this consideration, and I can't give others a handle."

As Mr. Chen told him, Yang Xiaotao finally understood the reason.

As long as it wasn't someone from the country who was holding him back, Yang Xiaotao would feel better.

Treat your own people and treat outsiders, that's two different feelings.

"Commander, I have an idea here. Can you listen to it?"

"You say."

Mr. Chen's voice remained unchanged. In fact, in order to maintain economic development during this period, he had not slept well for several days.

He was unwilling to be interrupted again after finally having a development momentum.

"It's like this. I think our medicine bar is not medicine."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Mr. Chen frowned, "It's not medicine? If it's not medicine, what is it? You can't say it's a bar."

"That won't work. There aren't so many good things in the wine."

"Don't play dumb. What do you want to say?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "Commander, this thing is not medicine, it's a health product."
