Scholars in the courtyard

In the office.

Yang Xiaotao sat aside and listened quietly. Yang Youning, Chen Gong and others talked about old things and silently remembered them in their hearts.

"Whether we fall behind or not, we'll have to figure it out later. Aren't we just lagging behind compared to others now? As long as it works well, it will work for now."

Xu Yuanshan also spoke, and everyone nodded.

Liu Huaimin decided, "Hurry up and get the finished product so we can try it."

"The workshop has full support and will get it done as soon as possible."

With these words, Yang Xiaotao naturally let it go.

A steam engine requires a lot of materials, and they must all be of good quality, otherwise the cylinder will easily explode.

There is no other steel rolling mill, but this good steel is still available.

In addition, the technical requirements are relatively high, and the eighth-level workers in the steel rolling mill are in short supply. Whether they are fitters or forgers, they can do it.

"Secretary, factory director, should I go out and get ready first?"

Yang Xiaotao said, as for the well-drilling matter, few people paid attention to it. As long as the steam engine is completed, the well-drilling machine will be an accessory.

Obviously, several people's eyes are on the steam engine.

"There's no rush, let's confirm the manpower first."

Liu Huaimin said, the four of them looked at each other, and finally Yang Youning announced the decision that had been discussed long ago.

Yang Xiaotao has long been familiar with this. It was not the same for the previous two times. A few of their signatures are enough. Anyway, he is the one who really does the work.

However, in this matter, it is really up to these four people to take the lead in this matter. Others can take the lead by speaking softly, and only by being stable can they be long-term.

After a while, several people took out the agreed upon plan, and Yang Xiaotao solemnly signed his name on it.

As a result, a new steam engine project was established, and Yang Xiaotao gained another title as the leader of the steam engine project team.

Leave the office and go back to your room.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Xiaotao embarrassedly.

"You did the right thing."

Yang Xiaotao didn't blame Lou Xiao'e. Just because there was no problem this time didn't mean there wouldn't be problems later. With Lou Xiao'e watching from the side, he felt at ease.

Lou Xiao'e felt relieved when she saw that Yang Xiaotao really didn't care.

In the morning, Yang Xiaotao and Zhang Guanyu, director of the technical department, led people to copy the drawings of the well drilling rig.

As for the core steam engine, Yang Xiaotao took it apart personally and made a copy before finding Xu Yuanshan with the drawings.

In the afternoon, when Yang Xiaotao and Xu Yuanshan appeared in a workshop, Sun Guozheng was leading the workers to produce intensively below.

When Sun Guo saw Xu Yuanshan and Yang Xiaotao coming together, he would be lying if he said he wasn't excited.

He had long known that Yang Xiaotao had developed a new product, and he also wanted to find Yang Xiaotao to obtain some benefits for the first workshop.

However, he didn't find it last time. He heard that Wang Guodong and Yang Xiaotao had met, so he didn't come forward again.

Who would have thought that he would come here this time.

"Factory director, Mr. Yang."

Sun Guo ran over, with a wonderful expression on his face.

"Director Sun."

Xu Yuanshan said nothing, but Yang Xiaotao spoke.

The choice of workshop this time was entirely due to Yang Xiaotao's attention.

Chen Gong had no choice, but Yang Xiaotao said that the steam engine could not be completed by one workshop. It required the collective efforts of the entire factory. As for finding a workshop, he wanted to hand over the subsequent parts of the well drilling machine to them.

"There is a new project in the factory called a well drilling machine, which can draw water quickly."

"Director Wang recommended your workshop to me. I wonder if you have any ideas."

When Sun Guo heard this, he understood that Wang Guodong was not a solitary eater. He was finally taking care of his feelings. Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, he immediately became excited, "Yes, I have an idea."

"Any ideas?"

Xu Yuanshan interjected.

Sun Guo choked and shook his head quickly, "I have no idea. As long as you say it, we will do it in the workshop."

As he spoke, he also greeted the workers on the side, "Find the leaders of each group for a meeting."

The workers next to them saw Yang Xiaotao coming with Factory Director Xu. Thinking of the recent rumors, they didn't understand what was going on?

Look at the third workshop, look at the eighth workshop, it’s finally their turn to be in the first workshop.

A few people ran away, and after a while more people ran towards this side.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Xiaotao handed Sun Guo the drawings of the water pump and explained them, followed by the drawings of some workpieces of the steam engine.

Yang Xiaotao did not take out the drawings completely. This is not because he looks down on the first workshop, but because these parts require relatively high technology, it is difficult to complete them by just a few senior workers in the first workshop.

Yang Xiaotao also wants to see the situation. If it doesn't work, he will transfer skilled workers from other workshops.

Sun Guo didn't ask much. Anyway, they just did whatever Yang Xiaotao gave them.

After a while, people in the workshop gathered together. Yang Xiaotao glanced at them. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were mixed in the crowd and did not dare to come forward. Yang Xiaotao did not say much.

Sun Guo said a few words to everyone, "Everyone, listen carefully. When Mr. Yang comes to our workshop, he must support him unconditionally no matter who he needs or what work he needs."

"If anyone holds you back, I won't forgive him."

Following Sun Guo's assurance, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and explained the situation of the well drilling machine to everyone. People in the factory became interested when they heard that it was drilling a water well.

Yang Xiaotao then taught Sun Guo the components of the well drilling machine. According to the previous preparations, some people in the first workshop were allocated to participate in the manufacturing of the well drilling machine, while the others continued to maintain their daily tasks.

Some of the selected people were middle- and senior-level technicians from the first workshop. It was obvious that Sun Guo took this matter very seriously.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong stood there, looking at the people who were selected, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

Especially Liu Haizhong, he just had to come forward and come forward.

But Sun Guo didn't look at him at all, and Liu Haizhong had no choice but to stay where he was.

After the selected person took the drawings to start production, Yang Xiaotao took out another drawing.

These are the partial structural diagrams of the steam engine.

"Director Sun, these parts have strict requirements and need to be produced as soon as possible."

Sun Guo was stunned for a moment, then took the drawing. After looking at it for a while, he realized how difficult this drawing was. Only the parameter requirements above, it was estimated that it would require a seventh-level worker or above.

"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to complete it as soon as possible."

Sun Guo promised that this opportunity must be seized.

Yang Xiaotao and Xu Yuanshan left the workshop.

On the way back to the office, Yang Xiaotao remembered that drilling a well was not easy. Not only did he have to drill it down, but he also had to ensure that the well could not collapse and be buried.

Yang Xiaotao was also prepared for this.

The cement pipes used in the house in the previous life could be inserted into the well to prevent collapse.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao asked Xu Yuanshan if he knew anyone from the cement factory.

"Why are you looking for someone from the cement factory?"

"This is not a water well. After the well hole is drilled, the well wall needs to be fixed. I thought about using cement pipes to directly insert it. It is simple and trouble-free."

"And the cement pipe used doesn't need to be too big. I think a diameter of thirty centimeters will be enough."

Xu Yuanshan thought for a moment and realized what Yang Xiaotao said was true. If it were that simple, all he had to do was pump out the water, put down the cement pipe, and press the pressure well, and it would probably be over in a day or two.

This efficiency...

"Why do you have such a long head, kid? You have one idea after another."

Xu Yuanshan said, "I will take you to find Lao Yang. His acquaintance is the deputy director of the cement factory."

"That's great!"

The two hurriedly came to the office. Yang Youning was thinking about who should be assigned to Yang Xiaotao's R\u0026D team when he heard the two coming and asked about the cement factory.

After some understanding, he immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number shortly after. Then there was a burst of hearty laughter from the other side.

"Lao Yang, you are such a busy person, why do you have time to call me?"

"Your steel rolling mill has become very popular recently. Old Li, I'm even greedy for it."

Yang Xiaotao and Xu Yuanshan stood aside. The other party's voice was so loud that it could be heard through the microphone.

"Old Li, don't say that brothers don't have revolutionary friendship. There is a good thing, so come or not."

"What a good thing, let's talk about it first. You have been eating dirt all day, and you are covered in ashes. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. If you feel embarrassed, I'll go find Xiao Hu."

"Stop, stop, stop, is something really wrong?"

"Nonsense, I've been busy all day, so how can I have time to grind my teeth with you?"

"Okay, just wait, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, a beeping sound came from the phone.

Yang Xiaotao watched Yang Youning hang up the phone and stretched out his finger.

"Director, tall, really tall."

He still had an expression of admiration on his face as he spoke. Originally, he was thinking of asking someone to do something for the cement factory, but after Yang Youning's prompting, he didn't have to think about it. The other party knew that it was for drilling water wells. It was an opportunity to show off in front of the leadership, and it was done well. It is also an achievement.

Then you still need them to beg? I guess it's just a matter of getting on the pole.

"You guys, you should take a long-term view of things. Don't limit your vision to one place, let alone do things narrowly. Do you think if we let people from the cement factory get involved, will it affect us? No, it will be the people from the cement factory. We still have to remember our personal relationship..."

Yang Youning started talking again. After hearing the beginning, Xu Yuanshan found a petrolhead and ran away. Yang Xiaotao was left waiting for people from the cement factory, so he could only sit aside and listen to Yang Youning's impromptu performance.

Finally, less than twenty minutes later, there was a tapping sound outside the door, and then Xiao Li Mi Shu walked in with a bald middle-aged man.

Although the middle-aged man was wearing a clean coat, the shirt exposed underneath was still stained with dust.

Apparently a clean coat had been put on temporarily.

"Old Yang, you miss me so much!"

The visitor walked directly to Yang Youning, and regardless of Yang Youning's outstretched hand, he went up and gave him a hug.

Puff puff

The two hugged each other, and a cloud of dust protruded from the bald man's collar and other places.

Yang Xiaotao slowly moved back two steps. As for Yang Youning, he was choked and coughed.

The bald man laughed heartily.

"Bald Li, you have fucking intentions, don't you?"

"Haha, you are worthy of being in an office. Your face is so fair and you are well-dressed."

"go away…"

The two separated, and Yang Youning opened the window, regardless of the cold wind outside. Now the window was blowing for a while.

"Lao Yang, what's the good thing if you call me over in such a hurry? I told you, if everything goes wrong, I'll live in your steel rolling mill."

"They say that the food in your steel rolling mill is bad, and I'm going to kill you now."

Director Li looked like he was not stingy, and Yang Xiaotao felt that he was a bit like Silly Zhu when he was unreasonable.

"Okay, stop being poor." Yang Youning interrupted him and pointed at Yang Xiaotao, "This is Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the leader of the R\u0026D team of our steel rolling mill."

"Oh, I know. Engineer Yang, I saw it in the newspaper."

Director Li quickly touched his hands on his clothes and walked quickly to Yang Xiaotao.

"Hello Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I am Li Zhixing from the cement factory."

This serious look is completely different from the previous one.
