Scholars in the courtyard

Ten minutes later, Yang Xiaotao was checking the production status of pressure cookers in Workshop 10 when he was found by Lou Xiaoe and hurried to the office.

In the room, Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning, Chen Gong and Wang Guodong sat aside in silence.

Yang Xiaotao walked in and found an open space to sit down. Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao and then nodded.

"I came suddenly this time, but you don't know that two days after this year, yesterday and today, the calls to me are coming one after another. I have a home now and can't go back."

"I've spent this whole year taking bullets from you."

Yang Youning and Chen Gong turned their heads to the side and couldn't help laughing.

Later, Yang Xiaotao also understood why Liu Huaimin came back.

It turned out that before the Chinese New Year, someone found the drawings of the steel rolling mill that he wanted.

As a result, he said that there is no difficulty that revolutionary workers cannot overcome. Don't be afraid of difficulties. Difficulties will be fooled by paper tigers or something like that.

But after the New Year, these people can no longer sit still.

Especially when the steel rolling mills are pressing harder and harder, it will be a big joke if we don't get it done.

Just after the New Year, Factory Director Jiang in Shanghai couldn't bear it anymore and called Yang Youning again to discuss it. But the person who answered the phone said that he was on vacation and the factory director had not come back.

So Factory Manager Jiang could only ask the old secretary to come forward to help, at least to get through the current predicament first.

Finally, the old secretary found the person above, who greeted Liu Huaimin again.

One level at a time, one level at a time, but in the end it was Liu Huaimin who bore it all.

Moreover, now it is not only people in Shanghai who are sending news, but also Jiefang in the north. After hearing that the steel rolling mill has successfully renovated Jiefang and is now accepting the commission, this group of people can't sit still, so another group of leaders found it. Liu Huaimin.

Afterwards, Chang'an in the west could no longer sit still.

Until this morning, there were still several calls to the office.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

"Tell me what to do."

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, he sat on the stool with his arms folded.

Yang Youning immediately laughed after hearing this, "What else can I do? Just give it to them."

Liu Huaimin was surprised, but didn't say much.

Yang Youning then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, it's been more than half a month. Counting the time, we have fulfilled our agreement with Quancheng."

"How's the situation over there?"

Yang Xiaotao was noncommittal, "Work over there has started normally, and the production line has been started. I have no objection!"

"However, they must abide by the agreement we reached with Quancheng. At least they must treat everyone equally."

Yang Xiaotao said, Yang Youning understood what he meant.

The drawings can be provided and you can use them in production, but you cannot use the produced ones to modify existing vehicles.

We can't compete with steel rolling mills for business, at least not on the surface.

As for the fact that there are so many trucks across the country, there is no need to worry about whether the rolling mill can retrofit them.

Yang Xiaotao and Yang Youning have already discussed that when this matter is over, they will choose a few big cities and cooperate with local machine repair shops. When the time comes, they will provide people and equipment, and use their venues and personnel to help with modifications.

I don’t believe that the other party will reject this method of common prosperity and progress together.

Even if they refuse, the steel rolling mill will look for other factories. Anyway, there are many factories that have cooperative relations with the steel rolling mill.

Last time, the wood processing factory came back to life because of the tractor boards. During the Chinese New Year, the factory director even visited Yang Youning's house, a proper partner.

After Yang Youning finished speaking, Liu Huaimin nodded. As long as the steel rolling mill relents, the other party will have no objection.

What's more, there weren't many cars produced before. From a future perspective, these car factories will take advantage.

"I will explain this matter clearly to them, and I believe they will agree."

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, the business was done and he was not in a hurry to leave.

It happened to be the Chinese New Year. When I came back, Yang Youning asked the canteen to prepare two dishes. Several people ate in the reception room and talked about this year's arrangements.

The daily tasks of the steel rolling mill must be completed, and the task volume will increase this year. The national economy is improving and is gradually getting on the right track, and more and more steel and machinery are needed.

Then there are other industries, such as tractors, pressure cookers, and pressure wells. Choose advantageous industries to increase the depth of the steel rolling mill.

Several people talked, and it was not until the afternoon that Liu Huaimin left in the car.

I'm still waiting for a reply from above. I believe it won't be long before this matter becomes clear.

In the afternoon, when Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, he took the drawings of the mechanical hydraulic auxiliary system to the R\u0026D Department and asked Zhang Guanyu to make a few copies for future use.

Changchun.

Director Jin was sitting in his office, smoking a cigarette in his hand.

In front of him, a group of "veterans" from the automobile factory were filled with anger, waiting for him to make a decision.

However, there was a long silence in the room, and he had no intention of speaking.

At this point, what else can he say?

The steel rolling mill has begun to modify Jiefang, but they can't even make the goods well. What should I do?

It was already very shameful for his superiors to intervene first, but now he was trying to take advantage. He was very thick-skinned, but not to the point of being shameless.

In other words, the honor of liberating the truck made him a little thin-skinned.

"Director, please say something. If this gets out, our reputation on the automobile will be ruined!"

Seeing that Factory Director Jin didn't speak, the old man on the left spoke eagerly, looking like he was thinking about the factory.

Hearing this, Director Jin snorted without raising his head or eyes.

"Can we stop it? How many people are staring at this fat piece of meat, can you make those guys put it down? Or do you have the ability to fight?"

"I…"

The person who spoke was stunned, thinking about the competitive relationship in this black land, and he felt uncertain. Without Shengjing, there would be other places.

Their Changchun Automobile Factory cannot cover the sky with one hand.

"Besides, do you still have a reputation now?"

Several people were angry after hearing this.

"Everyone go back, that's it."

"Instead of thinking about useless things, it's better to think about how to improve your strength."

Several people took one look and left dejectedly.

After everyone left, Director Jin crushed the cigarette butt.

"Xiao Sun, call Director Li from the technical department."

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in, looking polite.

"Director!"

"Sit first!"

Factory Director Jin thought for a moment, "Can we make a diesel engine?"

"We are taking the time to design this, but there are still some difficulties that we have not overcome in the imitation."

The technical director was a little frustrated and did not dare to raise his head when speaking.

"Well, I have an idea. Let's join forces with Hada. What do you think?"

Although it was a question, his tone was such that he could not refuse.

Obviously, Factory Director Jin is very dissatisfied with the current situation.

"I, I have no objection."

"Okay, it's settled then, you go to school for a walk tomorrow."

"well!"

Shanghai.

"Old Secretary, this is the situation."

Director Jiang said to the sulky old man.

"It's not bad, at least it can be done."

There was a strong sense of self-deprecation in the old man's words.

Director Jiang lowered his head after hearing this, and the pride in his heart gradually turned into anger.

"Tell the comrades to know their shame and then be brave. If you want to make a comeback, just take out our engine and let them all see who is the real boss."

As the old secretary said, Director Jiang raised his head.

"Don't worry, the people in the technical department below have already got ideas."

"Diesel engines are a problem now, so I want to use the existing gasoline engine and enlarge it to achieve greater power."

Factory Director Jiang told the idea given by the technical department, and the old secretary just frowned. In his eyes, the diesel engine was more important.

Of course, in reality there are many factors to consider.

"Try it first."

Director Jiang agreed.

"By the way, regarding the production of tricycles. We are asked for our opinion."

Factory Director Jiang spoke again, and the old secretary snorted coldly.

"It goes without saying."

"We are a car factory, not a farm tools factory! We haven't recovered the face we lost this time..."

Before the old secretary could finish speaking, Factory Manager Jiang nodded quickly, "I understand, this is a rejection."

"Um!"

After Director Jiang left, the old secretary thought for a while and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Principal Yu, I'm from a car factory..."

As the notice was issued from above, various automobile manufacturers agreed one after another.

Two days later, Liu Huaimin again received news that Hushang in the south, Changchun in the north, and several other factories had agreed to the request of the lower rolling mill.

Later, Yang Youning also agreed on behalf of the steel rolling mill.

Then give the copied drawings to Liu Huaimin, and the matter is over.

The steel rolling mill will focus on choosing partners.

In the office.

Yang Youning, Chen Gong, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong gathered together. There were several pieces of paper on the table in front of them, with several machine repair shops written on them.

Chen Gong found a lot of people and made many phone calls year after year, especially when the mechanical hydraulic auxiliary system started to come online. After becoming famous, it has attracted the attention of interested people.

Chen Gong collected a lot of information,

"This is through understanding the conditions of the machine repair shops in the latter places."

"These factories are not small in scale and are in good locations. They are all in big cities. The industry in the city is developing rapidly and there are many cars and trucks. There is a market demand for them."

Chen Gong pointed to the pieces of paper on the table, which were all the information he had collected.

"I would like to ask, how many partners do we want?"

Yang Xiaotao asked the question first, and Yang Youning glanced at Chen Gong. They also knew that the stall should not be too big, otherwise it would collapse easily.

"How about three?"

Yang Youning opened his mouth to express his opinion.

"One in the south, one in the north, and one in the west. Let's test the water first, and with our auto repair center, it should work."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "Three is fine. It covers a wider area. If it doesn't work, we can add more later."

Thinking of the number of trucks these days, Yang Xiaotao thinks it's enough.

"What about transportation?"

Wang Guodong asked.

Because this time the rolling mill is responsible for the production of auxiliary systems, and the products manufactured are different depending on the vehicle model, which involves transportation issues.

As for why the local machinery factory was not responsible for the processing, Yang Xiaotao mentioned this, but it was rejected by Yang Youning and Chen Gong.

The reason is that if the other party does not do well, it will easily ruin the reputation of the steel rolling mill.

In reality, they wanted to keep the hen that laid the golden eggs for the rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything about this.

"Basically, big cities have railways, and local factories can pull them back after arriving at the station."

Chen Gong had already thought about it.

"I think we can add one to Quancheng. We have a good cooperative relationship with No. 1 Machinery Factory. By then, we will get twice the result with half the effort, and we can also cover the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, laying a foundation for the future."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and spoke again.

He knows that the coastal area will be the core of economic development in the future. If he prepares in advance and confirms the cooperative relationship here, he will have less trouble in the future.

"This is acceptable."

Yang Youning also thinks that Quancheng No. 1 Machinery Factory is good, especially the factory boss Wang, who is a happy person.

We worked well together before, so it shouldn't be too difficult this time.

"Then four!"

"Let's confirm the other three."

After returning home, several people were discussing in the office, and from time to time they would come out to ask the secretary to look for information, looking anxious.

By mid-afternoon, the four spots were basically confirmed.

Shengjing in the north, Jinling in the south, Wujiang in the west, plus Quancheng.

Four places, among which Quancheng is a machine factory, I believe there should be no problem.

The other three places all choose local machine repair shops.

The most important thing is that there are car factories around them.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the two old foxes who were still discussing. This was definitely intentional!
