Scholars in the courtyard

"Why is it different? Representation and uniqueness?"

Yang Youning asked nervously. According to the schedule, tomorrow night's flight must be made by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. There is not much time.

"That's right. As a gift, it must be different from the usual pressure cooker."

"For example, the women of Harfang like white and blue because it is a symbol of purity and sanctity in their customs. Therefore, you can use white and blue in appearance. As for the pattern, you can think of it yourself."

"This~~"

Yang Xiaotao was a little confused, "Director Zhong, the color of our steel rolling mill is silver-gray. Even if we apply some dye on it, it won't look good!"

"Besides, it's not easy to choose the pattern. What if it violates the other party's taboo?"

Liu Huaimin was also confused after hearing this, "Yeah, we can't let us think about it ourselves. It's best to have someone who understands the other person's habits. Someone familiar with it can give some advice!"

"I don't know this either, but I can find someone to ask you."

Director Zhong waved his hands, also unsure of what to do.

Liu Huaimin looked at Director Zhong, then at Yang Xiaotao, and finally looked at Yang Youning. Finally, Liu Huaimin said, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Yang Xiaotao raised his head and looked at Liu Huaimin.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the situation is urgent, but the task is equally urgent."

"This is about exchanges between countries, and no matter how difficult it is, it must be completed."

"It's now 1:50 in the afternoon. I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, you must make this unique pot as required."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes shrank, then he gritted his teeth and stood up, "Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

After getting Yang Xiaotao's guarantee, Liu Huaimin felt confident.

This feeling is trust.

Because Yang Xiaotao has never let them down.

"Then please leave it to me. I'll prepare it first."

Director Zhong stood up, nodded to Liu Huaimin and others, and was about to leave.

"Director Zhong, we also need to understand each other's customs, please leave this matter to us."

"It's easy to say, many people in our area know..."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning sent Director Zhong away. As for the first item he said, they were temporarily postponed.

The most important thing now is to make the pressure cooker for the gift.

"Let's go back to the meeting!"

Yang Youning shouted and then went to the large conference room.

Yang Xiaotao followed him back to his room first and took a notebook with the design plan of the pressure cooker on it.

Then he asked Lou Xiaoe to call someone and they went to the conference room for a meeting.

One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

It’s a good idea to listen to other people’s opinions at this time.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what was going on, but seeing Yang Xiaotao's serious face, she knew something was important and hurried to call someone over.

After a while, Liu Daming, Chen Bin, Zhang Guanyu, and Wang Fa came over one after another and saw that several directors in the room had already sat down. Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning, Yang Xiaotao, and Wang Guodong in the front row looked serious and quickly found a place to sit down.

After a while, Director Li from the Publicity Department came over, followed by several people from the Publicity Department, including Yu Haitang.

The conference room was full of people, and then Yang Xiaotao asked Lou Xiao'e to close the door. Seeing Yang Youning's signal, he told the matter.

"Comrades, I am calling you here in such a hurry today because there is a difficult matter that needs to be solved!"

Then Yang told the general story of what happened, and then concluded, "That's it, the theme is friendship, gifts, and Women's Day!"

"It must be unique and representative. Time is urgent and we must come up with a plan today."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone below did not find it difficult, but instead all grinned.

"Look, let me just say that our pressure cooker is useful. This has affected foreign countries. How cool!"

Liu Daming smiled heartily, and the people around him laughed as well.

He didn't take Yang Xiaotao's question seriously at all.

Of course, he is self-aware, so if you ask him to make parts of a pressure cooker, no problem, he can make it for you with a handful of hands.

But it was really difficult for him to use his brain to come up with a design.

"Yes, I think if we do it well this time, the output will inevitably increase? Lao Huang, do you have enough people in your workshop? If not, our workshop can help!"

Liu Wei next to him smiled the most happily. Huang Degong couldn't restrain his excitement after hearing this, and at the same time felt lucky for his original choice.

"Oh, we definitely don't have enough people. When the time comes, I need my old brother to help me out a little bit."

Huang Degong naturally followed the trend. Everyone said they wanted to help, so how could he push it out.

And he also saw that after this time, the current output of fifty or sixty units per day was a bit low.

Need to add people.

Bang Bang

While everyone was chatting heatedly below, Yang Youning, who was sitting above, looked unhappy.

He reached out and patted the table twice, and everyone hurriedly shut up.

"I asked you to come here to think of a solution, not to go to the market."

"Today's matter must be settled. If you can't handle it, you will."

Yang Youning pointed at the ones who had shouted loudest just now. "You guys, hurry up and come up with an idea. If you can't come up with it, half of your salary will be deducted!"

"ah……"

When Liu Daming, Huang Degong and others heard that the money was being deducted, they were immediately unhappy, but when they saw Yang Youning's face, they immediately stopped.

"Director, it's just a different pot. I think we can make it bigger."

Liu Daming opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to make a gesture. It was about the same size as the stove at home.

"No, it doesn't look good."

Liu Huaimin spoke directly, and Liu Daming quickly sat down.

Anyway, he made a suggestion. As for not adopting it, it’s not his fault. The money cannot be deducted.

After Liu Daming spoke, everyone below also started to turn their heads.

"How about changing the style? For example, the inner pot should be made into a five-pointed star, or other patterns."

Sun Guo spoke, and Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "There is not enough time. There are risks in changing the design and need to be verified."

"How about painting it with a layer of gold paint on the outside, or if that doesn't work, just inlay a golden dragon. I heard that the big water tank in the Forbidden City used to be like this."

After one person finished speaking, someone around him immediately retorted, "This is not okay!"

"Now is an era when the people are the masters of the country. It is not good to engage in those things from the old era."

"Also, it's nothing to inlay a dragon. It's better to engrave a few words about revolutionary friendship and eternal life."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I said just engrave it."

"How many words can be engraved to make it representative and unique? Who are you kidding? You can buy this thing and find any worker to engrave it on it."

…

"In my opinion, this pot is divided into a lid and a body. Otherwise, we should make a fuss about the lid."

Huang Degong suddenly spoke. He is the person who has been exposed to pressure cookers for the longest time and can be seen almost every day.

People around him stopped talking and listened to what he said.

Yang Xiaotao was also concentrating. He had a pen in his hand and some ideas in his notebook.

Seeing everyone looking over, Huang Degong felt a little nervous, but he still said what he was thinking.

"I think this pot lid is the one that is used the most. Whether it is opening or closing, you have to operate the pot lid, so whether it is written or engraved on it, it is conspicuous."

Yang Youning nodded, and Liu Huaimin said directly, "What do you think is good to do up there?"

Huang Degong scratched his head and said, "I think I can write a few words."

"What words should I write?"

"This, I didn't expect it, but it should be in Chinese and Kazakhstan."

After Huang Degong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao wrote a line in the notebook.

The people below started discussing again.

Yang Youning looked up at Yang Xiaotao's notebook and found that one page was almost full, "Xiao Tao, do you have an idea?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the book again and sorted through everything he could think of.

"Some ideas."

"Okay, everyone, just be quiet."

Yang Youning clapped his hands and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Let's listen to Comrade Yang Xiaotao's ideas."

Everyone turned their attention.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the notebook, organized his thoughts, and then spoke.

"This time, the work on the pot is divided into two parts."

"First, the design of the pot cannot be changed. It can only be made outside. As Lao Huang said just now, I think it is good to put it on the pot lid."

"That's my opinion!"

Yang Xiaotao took out a one-yuan note from his pocket.

Everyone looked up and saw that everyone was familiar with the money.

"Since it's Women's Day, and this pot, to put it bluntly, the one who uses it the most is the hostess of the house."

"So, I think we can use the portrait of women working on the pot lid to let others see the respect and liberation of women in our new era. It can better reflect the characteristics of our country."

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin looked at each other. Neither of them expected this, but doing so can indeed resonate with women.

As a gift for this Women’s Day, it also complements each other.

The two agreed and then said, "What do you think?"

Huang Degong immediately said, "I agree. Moreover, this pattern is ready-made. You can find a master to make it."

Sun Guo also nodded, "Agree."

"agree!"

No one else had an opinion either.

Maybe if there is enough time, there will be a better choice, but at this moment, time is passing by, and there is not much time left.

"Go on!"

"good!"

Yang Xiaotao made a mark on the lid of the pot, and then looked at the pot body, "The inside of the pot body will not be modified, and a red five star will be inlaid on the outside. On both sides, ten words, 'Friendship lasts forever, will last forever' are engraved on it." Two languages, divided into Line up to the left and right!”

"What do you think?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone, Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin had no objection.

Although there is nothing spectacular about doing this, the pot lid has already acquired its uniqueness, and the rest must be subjective, otherwise people in China will complain about it again.

After all, people like Wang Fuhan can only stare at one point.

By doing this, even those who want to find fault will not be able to find fault.

No one spoke, Yang Xiaotao continued, "On the bottom of the pot, we need to write the words "Red Star Rolling Mill" to show that it is produced by our rolling mill. It is best to have a number. In the future, every unit produced will have a serial number. A special number to prevent imitation.”

"good!"

bang bang bang

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning clapped his hands and applauded. This was what he had been thinking about, and someone finally said it to his heart.

The most important thing is their steel rolling mill. In the future, if this pot becomes famous, the steel rolling mill will also become famous at home and abroad.

As the leader of the steel rolling mill, when people mention him again, his name will be left behind.

"Ok, deal!"

Yang Youning was arranging the plan, while Liu Huaimin didn't say anything and wrote down the things to report to his superiors.

"In addition, we can also start with packaging."

Yang Xiaotao didn't finish speaking, and then talked about packaging.

Everyone was stunned.

Yang Xiaotao understands how important packaging is for future generations.

"Yes, it's packaging."

"Packaging should not only reflect our sincerity, but also show our characteristics and let the other party feel the charm of our country's culture..."

Yang Xiaotao talked a lot, and Yang Youning's eyes grew wider as he listened, and in the end he nodded frequently.

"Leave this matter to me and I'll report it to my superiors."

Liu Huaimin also understood what Yang Xiaotao meant and spoke seriously.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Finally, there is the product manual. It is best to have it in both languages."

"It's up to you to write the Chinese instructions. After you've finished it, I'll find someone to translate it."

Liu Huaimin spoke directly. The manual for the pressure cooker was originally written by Yang Xiaotao. Besides, if anyone could write this steel rolling mill, it would be Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement.
