Scholars in the courtyard

Of course Yang Xiaotao knew what was going on when Liu Dehui was so excited. After all, he could hear clearly what the two were talking about.

The middle-aged director did not shy away from Yang Xiaotao, after all, he was the one who could talk to the chief.

Maybe others know more than you do.

As a result, Yang Xiaotao knew the meaning of this bidding.

The army needs to make large purchases.

Not only that, relevant personnel will also be dispatched to participate in the follow-up of subsequent vehicles.

To be honest, it’s just a basket of projects.

From the current Huanghe heavy truck to subsequent modifications, solutions to problems, and vehicle requirements for various situations, etc., will all be carried out at the Quancheng Automobile Plant in the future.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao understood. Isn't this the series of models that will be liberated by later generations?

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao realized that this time the Yellow River in Quancheng seemed to have snatched the opportunity for liberation.

Thinking that decades later, at the National Day military parade, the original military green was liberated into the blue of the Yellow River, this is a bit awkward no matter how you look at it.

Fortunately, the color is not static.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao was still very proud.

Because this is when he flaps his wings to change for the better.

After the director left, Yang Xiaotao approached Liu Dehui and said, "Director Liu, congratulations!"

If Yang Xiaotao pointed out something, Liu Dehui smiled happily.

Similarly, Liu Dehui's understanding of Yang Xiaotao changed again.

It is certainly not easy for someone who can chat and laugh with two chiefs and even shake hands cordially.

This Yang Xiaotao either has a profound background or has outstanding abilities.

Any one of them deserves his attention.

I suddenly felt inexplicably grateful to Lao Wang. If he hadn't suggested coming to the steel rolling mill to invite people to try, they wouldn't have had anything to do with him.

"Xiao Tao, thank you very much."

"This time, we at Quancheng Automobile Factory will all remember your favor."

"Personally, I am extremely grateful!"

Liu Dehui said sincerely and was about to salute with his hands clasped in fists. Yang Xiaotao quickly supported him.

"Director Liu, this is not necessary, as long as you can help me in the future."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely your duty."

At the end of the conference, Yang Xiaotao followed Liu Dehui to find Yang Youning and the four of them. The four chatted for a while. After Yang Youning heard about it, his eyes glowed green when he looked at Liu Dehui.

It would be great if this was their steel rolling mill.

Unfortunately, they don't have a car.

Chen Gong looked at Liu Dehui like that, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, feeling that Liu Dehui's demeanor was a little different.

Could it be that between the two of them...

Chen Gong rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes.

The few people talked for a while and then picked a truck. Yang Xiaotao took other drivers and Liu Dehui and drove them back to the steel rolling mill.

The remaining ten trucks will be retained to continue participating in the experiment.

Back at the steel rolling mill, Yang Youning took Liu Dehui to the office, and the two closed the door and talked.

Chen Gong went to Yang Xiaotao to inquire about the situation in front of the rostrum. Yang Xiaotao made some remarks and said that it was mainly about cars. Chen Gong didn't find out, so he put out the gossip in his heart.

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao asked Lou Xiaoe to arrange a place for the comrades in the automobile factory to rest and eat.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao and Yang Youning sent Liu Dehui and his party away together. They were going to Quancheng by train.

Before leaving, Liu Dehui thanked Yang Xiaotao again and allowed him to go to Quancheng for a drink when he was free.

Yang Xiaotao responded one by one.

After the car left, Yang Xiaotao was going to go to the auto repair center to have a look. Now that there were more people, he had to quickly improve his capabilities.

"Xiao Tao, don't leave yet."

Yang Youning suddenly stopped Yang Xiaotao, "Come with me."

As he spoke, he walked towards the office.

The two came to the office and sat down. Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Yang Youning opened the drawer and put a key on the table.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's suspicion, he chuckled.

"I didn't know you could drive before, but now I've seen it. You're a good driver."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then looked at the keys on the table, feeling vaguely.

"What can I say? You are also the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. This is the key to our Jeep. You have the right to use it."

"However, the driver won't match it for you, so you can drive it yourself."

After Yang Youning finished speaking, he pushed the key forward. After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao held back his excitement and immediately went to take the key.

"Really gave it to me?"

Yang Xiaotao held the key, still a little unsure.

"What I'm giving you is for you to use and make better contributions to the country, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand very well."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and put the key in his pocket. When he got back, he asked his wife to make a pendant and tie it up so that he could not find it if he lost it.

"This is also a reward for you."

Yang Youning said as he stood up and picked up the teapot, and the two sat across from each other.

"We need to pay close attention to the matter at the auto repair center from now on. I guess we won't be able to keep it a secret for too long."

"I know, but if those people are shameless, what will we do?"

The situation Yang Xiaotao mentioned is very likely to happen.

After all, the current social atmosphere is like this. There is no guilt in copycats, and it is glorious if the copycats are successful. Everything is for the sake of revolutionary construction.

"I have discussed this matter with Secretary Liu. He will resist for a while. If he can't bear it anymore, we will come back again."

Yang Youning said nonchalantly. Anyway, he has made a lot of money now. The modifications and gifts from each factory alone are enough for the steel rolling mill to live a good year.

"However, we still have to seize the time. There are more and more cars that need to be modified now. Some of the cars are unfamiliar to everyone, so we need to solve them as soon as possible."

"I know this. As long as we are given time, we can definitely come up with a solution."

"Okay, by the way, the superiors have already approved what you said last time about distributing work clothes to the workers. Lao Chen also went to buy a batch of rubber shoes, as well as some enamel pots and jars. It's almost February, how many of us are there? When the total is added up, how should I reward you?"

Yang Youning has revealed another good boy. Yang Xiaotao is naturally willing to have more benefits. After all, he is also a worker.

"Director, nothing's wrong. I'm going to check on the car first."

Holding the key, Yang Xiaotao wanted to take a look. After all, having a car and having a bicycle are two different concepts. There are more and more bicycles these days, unlike two years ago, when just riding a bicycle was so popular.

It can be said that the number of bicycles is gradually increasing, but cars are still considered ‘high-end goods’ in the eyes of the general public.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to get up and leave, Yang Youning stopped him again, and then took out an envelope again.

"I don't even get my salary, how about I save it for you?"

Only then did Yang Xiaotao remember that his salary would be paid at the end of the month.

"I won't bother you with such tiring work."

"I said there was something missing this month, and it turned out to be money."

"Okay, don't be poor, take it and leave quickly."

Yang Xiaotao took it and gave it a thick stack. The salary and benefits of the deputy director were quite a lot. This year, it became more and more enjoyable with each passing year.

Turning to say goodbye, Yang Youning waved his hand and continued to review the documents.

After Yang Xiaotao left, Yang Youning crossed his legs again and leaned back with a calm expression.

In this room not long ago, he and Liu Dehui made several verbal agreements. Among them, regarding Yang Xiaotao's reward, Liu Dehui said that he should be grateful so that he could contact him more in the future and be able to use him for anything.

But how to reward is difficult again.

Give me something, I really don’t have much to give.

After three turns and one ring, Yang Xiaotao's house was well-equipped, including two bicycles and rare cameras.

There is really no shortage of other things, and they can’t get rid of them if they are too light.

As for giving money and coupons, forget it. This guy is the deputy director of the factory. He used to be an engineer and also worked as an errand boy for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He is not short of money.

Finally, Liu Dehui made up his mind and asked the steel rolling mill to reward a vehicle. They could give him an extra Yellow River heavy truck.

In this way, it is considered a decision by both parties and a joint reward.

Yang Youning also thought it was good. After all, there were ready-made jeeps in the steel rolling mill, and Yang Xiaotao, as the deputy director, should also have a car for transportation.

The most important thing is that if you buy a heavy truck for nothing, you will make a profit no matter how you calculate it.

So, Yang Youning agreed!

Just when I told Yang Xiaotao, why didn't I bring Liu Dehui with me? It was purely out of love for Yang Xiaotao.

If anyone knew that there was a "interest" relationship here, it would not be good for Yang Xiaotao's future.

It would be better to just use the name of the steel rolling mill and no one can tell.

After leaving the door, Yang Xiaotao took the car keys and headed to the motorcade.

In addition to more than 20 light trucks made in Shanghai, a Huanghe heavy truck that just arrived, there are also three small jeeps in the steel rolling mill.

They are all Shanghai 58 Jeeps, which can be considered the most mature Jeeps produced in China at this stage.

It can be found in many places.

These three jeeps originally belonged to Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and Li Huaide.

As for Chen Gong, they use the old man's car, which is incomparable.

But later, Li Huaide was captured first, and the car became a shared resource of the steel rolling mill. The driver who drove Li Huaide was also liquidated and fired from the steel rolling mill.

Therefore, sometimes I just drive this car to receive guests.

Later, when Liu Huaimin was promoted, he naturally had a specially assigned car, so he kept another one.

But the driver didn't stay either.

It seems that several directors of the steel rolling mill can each have one, but in fact this is not the case.

Except for the old man's car used by Chen Gong, the remaining three cars are nominally owned by the steel rolling mill. They are used by the factory director for the convenience of handling work, so in principle, they do not belong to individuals.

But at the same time, it is said that it is for the convenience of the factory director to handle things. Can people below the factory director use it?

Yes, but approval from the factory manager is required.

This shows that the factory director has the final say on this car.

The factory director said that if you want to use the car to facilitate your work, then there will be no problem.

Of course, in order to rectify the atmosphere during this period, the factory director also has to set an example and take the lead, so the number of trips in and out is much less than before, and the use of cars is much less.

Yang Xiaotao took the keys to the fleet warehouse and looked at the three neat jeeps. The logistics staff were well maintained, and people came to clean the cars from time to time. They were more serious and professional than those in later generations.

This is also an invisible benefit of steel rolling mills.

The person responsible for guarding the warehouse saw Yang Xiaotao coming and quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation and see if he could help.

The guards did not dare to neglect Yang Xiaotao, the youngest deputy director.

After taking out the key and explaining his purpose, the person in charge was stunned for a moment, and then walked to the jeep on the left with a smile on his face.

"Director Yang, this car was originally used by Secretary Liu, and then it was placed here. We have been paying close attention to it."

The person in charge opened the door as he spoke. Yang Xiaotao was already sizing up the jeep in front of him.

The 58 Jeep was built in Shanghai and looks neat and clean.

But the traces of time are vaguely visible.

Yang Xiaotao got in the car, turned on the ignition and tried it. Although it was a second-hand car, it was still a car!

Drive the car and leave the warehouse.

After running around in the factory for a while, this car was also equipped with a mechanical hydraulic auxiliary system, and it drove smoothly. Just looking at the oil gauge on the car, I saw that it was almost at the bottom.

The rolling mill receives a portion of the barrels each month to keep its fleet running.

Of course, at the beginning of each month, the usage of the previous month is settled, and any excess will be refunded and less will be replenished. Basically, there will be no shortage.

And the fuel consumption of the Jeep is naturally included in it.

Driving to the motorcade, Liu Jun was leading people to refuel, and Yang Xiaotao drove over to explain the situation.

The people in the team are very grateful to Yang Xiaotao.

Not only did they develop an auxiliary system to make driving easier for them, they also earned a truck for the steel rolling mill.

It can still pull an eight-ton heavy truck.

More importantly, when the drivers from Quancheng talked about what happened at the venue, their driving skills were so impressive that they felt a sense of recognition.

Look, the deputy director of our steel rolling mill drives, which shows that the driver's profession is glorious.
