'Shiguang' Brand Photocopier
Chapter 2690 'Shiguang' Brand Photocopier
The Ninth Research Institute, Ordnance Research Institute.
Yang Xiaotao followed Liu Xiangdong quickly, followed by Old Wang, who insisted on coming to see the excitement.
On the way, Mr. Wang kept wanting to ask what this photocopier was.
But Yang Xiaotao kept walking quickly, leaving him no time to speak, so he could only follow along to see for himself.
"Old Xu!"
After Liu Xiangdong came in, he saw Xu Pengcheng fiddling with the machine and immediately called out to him.
Yang Xiaotao looked at the many people in the room.
Professor Ye, Shu Xingbei, Han Sanfeng, and many other prominent figures from the research institute were all present, along with a large crowd of onlookers at the entrance.
At this moment, everyone was whispering among themselves, and Old Ye was holding two pieces of paper, looking at them from left to right, and couldn't stop laughing!
Of course, Yang Xiaotao also saw the protagonist of this event, Xu Pengcheng.
When everyone saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, they all made way for him. Then they saw Yang Xiaotao walk up to Xu Pengcheng and firmly grasp his hand.
At this moment, everyone was inevitably shocked.
Many people present knew that the purpose of researching satellite phones was to find Shu Xingbei.
As a result, Shu Xingbei arrived, and then brought someone else with him, giving everyone the feeling of "buy one get one free".
Xu Pengcheng was the one who gave it away.
To put it bluntly, it's a free gift.
But to everyone's surprise, this free gift was not only not disliked by Minister Yang, but was also highly valued.
They even specially arranged for him to be placed in the Ordnance Research Institute, and provided full support for his subsequent research.
They even have a share of that precious high-purity crystalline silicon.
This kind of high regard can sometimes make people jealous, yet it's hard to understand.
It's unclear what exactly Yang values about the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party remained silent until the moment of truth, and then surprised everyone with an unexpected and delightful revelation.
"Minister Yang!"
Xu Pengcheng gripped Yang Xiaotao's hand tightly, his face showing both excitement and emotion.
He knew that in the eyes of outsiders he was a "freebie," but he didn't care.
Because Yang had told him that what he was doing now was a very meaningful thing.
It doesn't matter what others think; once you achieve results, all the doubts will be silenced.
It was Yang Xiaotao's encouragement and support that kept him going.
Yang Xiaotao gave him unwavering support.
If any supplies are needed, just submit a report and they will be arranged immediately.
If you encounter any difficulties, you can resolve them quickly by submitting a report.
This generous treatment even made him feel a sense of unreality.
It even made him doubt whether what he was making was really that good.
Then came an indescribable gratitude.
If he hadn't met Yang Xiaotao, if he hadn't come to the Ninth Research Institute, he would probably still be teaching at a university in Jinan.
Uh…
It could also be that they go to work in a local area.
After all, I've heard that many teachers have gone to the countryside.
In conclusion, Yang Xiaotao deserves credit for Xu Pengcheng's achievements today.
His gaze fell on Yang Xiaotao, filled with gratitude and fervor.
Of course, if he knew that the reports he submitted were all approved by Liu Huaimin, perhaps his fervor would have cooled down a bit.
"XCMG, thank you for your hard work!"
Yang Xiaotao spoke earnestly.
One sentence made Xu Pengcheng unable to express the words of gratitude he had prepared in his heart, and he only felt his eyes getting a little wet.
Seeing Xu Pengcheng like this, Yang Xiaotao reached out his left hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I know, you can definitely do it!"
Xu Pengcheng lowered his head, forcefully wiping away his tears, then looked up with a grateful expression, "Director Yang, without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't have this machine!"
Xu Pengcheng was about to say something more when Liu Xiangdong drove up and said with a smile, "Old Xu, you have plenty of time to express your gratitude. Let Director Yang come and take a look at the machine first."
"Yes, yes, Director Yang, let me show you the photocopier."
As Xu Pengcheng spoke, he walked toward the machine to the side, and Yang Xiaotao quickly came over.
I could see the machine from a distance. It was rectangular in shape and looked like a wooden cabinet.
"Minister Yang, this machine is one meter high, sixty centimeters long, and thirty-five centimeters wide..."
Xu Pengcheng explained the process from the side while simultaneously starting to operate the equipment.
"The main principle of a photocopier is to use optical reactions to scan, then convert the light signal into an electrical signal, which is then amplified and processed to control the ink to form graphics and text on the copy paper..."
"Place the paper you want to copy on this, then close it..."
"Press this start button; each press will make one copy..."
"This is the button to control the quantity. We referenced the calculation mode of a calculator, allowing you to make copies according to a set number..."
"Any paper within this frame can be photocopied!"
"By the way, this photocopier can be disassembled manually..."
"If the ink runs low, you can open it here and add ink..."
Xu Pengcheng acted like a salesman, introducing each product in front of him in detail.
Yang Xiaotao and the others showed no impatience and listened attentively.
Because this is the privilege of the developers.
After Xu Pengcheng finished his introduction, he took a deep breath and said, "Minister Yang, this is the photocopier we made."
"A machine that can copy information from one sheet of paper onto another sheet of paper!"
Papapa
Yang Xiaotao was the first to applaud, and enthusiastic applause immediately followed.
Old Wang stood to the side, clapping his hands while his eyes shone.
Although he doesn't write documents often, he handles a lot of them.
At the same time, it is clear that when a report is issued or a notice is given, sometimes someone has to copy it by hand.
There are quite a few administrative staff...
Suddenly, Old Wang thought of something and his gaze shifted from the photocopier to Yang Xiaotao.
The advent of the photocopier has solved the work problems of many office clerks.
If this were rolled out across the board, wouldn't the previous staff reductions be...?
Thinking of this, Old Wang's expression became even more solemn.
Could it be that Yang Xiaotao already knew about this?
No wonder they got the four top steel mill workers to handle this.
With the advent of photocopiers, it's estimated that office administrative staff will be reduced by a third!
This kid plans things out before he acts; he never fights a battle he's not sure he can win!
As for the others, they were overjoyed after learning about the uses of the photocopier. Researchers, in particular, no longer had to copy documents by hand.
"Minister Yang, please suggest a name!"
After Xu Pengcheng finished speaking, he handed a piece of white paper to Yang Xiaotao.
Meanwhile, everyone around Yang Xiaotao was watching, ready to witness this historic moment.
Old Wang felt a pang of envy upon hearing this.
He's never received this kind of treatment before.
But this guy already has so many names.
It’s really…
Comparing people to each other makes people angry!
Seeing the blank paper Xu Pengcheng handed him, Yang Xiaotao didn't hesitate and said, "Then I'll take the plunge!"
He took out a pen from his pocket, pondered for a moment, and then wrote five powerful characters on the white paper.
Shiguang, the photocopier!
People around him read it softly, many trying to decipher its "literary" atmosphere.
Xu Pengcheng picked up the white paper with both hands, blew on it gently, and waited for the writing to dry before walking to the photocopier and placing the paper upside down on the photocopier's worktable.
"Minister Yang!"
Xu Pengcheng looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and walked to the photocopier. Following Xu Pengcheng's instructions, he pressed nine for the number of copies and then pressed the start button.
A short while later, a rumbling sound came from the machine, followed by a hissing sound.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a piece of paper suddenly emerged from the exit below, followed by a second one...
When the nine sheets of paper came out, Yang Xiaotao reached out and picked them up, then looked at the words on them.
"That's right, they're all the same!"
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao handed the photocopied paper to the people around him.
Elder Ye and the others nodded in agreement.
"These characters are beautifully written!"
"This photocopy is good too!"
Liu Xiangdong looked at the photocopy and couldn't help but praise it.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Old Wang held it in his hand, his eyes turning back to the photocopier.
Suddenly, he asked, "Mr. X, is this machine difficult to manufacture?"
As soon as Old Wang spoke, Yang Xiaotao knew what the other party was planning.
However, this will disappoint him.
He has a very good use for this piece of fat meat.
Upon hearing Mr. Wang's question, Xu Pengcheng looked at Yang Xiaotao, and only after Yang Xiaotao nodded did he reply, "Sir, the main difficulties with this photocopier are the photosensitive components and the numerical control system."
"The other parts are fine!"
After listening, Old Wang asked again, "Have you solved the problems with the photosensitive component and CNC machining?"
"Old Wang, if this isn't resolved, how can it be made?"
Yang Xiaotao interrupted, then said to Xu Pengcheng and Liu Xiangdong, "You did a very good job."
"Old Han!"
Han Sanfeng immediately nodded, "Minister Yang!"
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the photocopier and said, "This machine is for your research institute."
"Then the Ordnance Research Institute shall be awarded a collective third-class merit, and Comrade Xu Pengcheng and Comrade Liu Xiangdong shall be awarded an individual second-class merit!"
"Go ask Lao Hong for the reward!"
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the people from the research institute in the room immediately started shouting.
"Thank you, Commander Yang!"
Papapa
The applause continued, but Yang Xiaotao pulled Old Wang, who still wanted to ask more questions, and led him outside.
If the fox stays in the sheepfold, isn't that just tempting the sheep to commit a crime?
"By the way, let's have a proper celebration this noon!"
"Old Han, tell the cafeteria to make extra pork for lunch!"
A cheer immediately erupted from the crowd, and Han Sanfeng, standing on tiptoe, replied, "Don't worry, Director Yang, I'll make sure everything is arranged!"
Pulling Old Wang away from the research institute, Old Wang said reluctantly, "Alright, alright, we're all out now, let go quickly."
Yang Xiaotao let go, but Old Wang was still unwilling, saying, "Is it really necessary?"
"You're treating me like a thief. What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you acting like this?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced sideways at Old Wang and said, "Absolutely, absolutely."
"Don't think I don't know! They're definitely after the photocopier!"
"Let me make this clear first, nobody else can have this. I have a very important use for it!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately spoke up, and Old Wang, recalling his earlier guess, snorted coldly, "What great use? It's just to streamline personnel, do you think I don't know that!"
"You little rascal, you're getting better and better at scheming!"
"But we at the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry are ordering ten of these photocopiers first. How about you give me a discount?"
With that, Old Wang walked toward the canteen with his hands behind his back. He absolutely had to eat this meal!
Yang Xiaotao raised an eyebrow behind him, startled.
Could it be that Old Wang discovered something?
Indeed, Yang Xiaotao's encouragement and support for photocopier research was calculated.
When it comes to photocopiers, they've been around for a long time abroad, and there are also some photocopiers imported from the Alliance in China.
However, this type of photocopier is not only cumbersome to operate, but also has many limitations.
For example, most photocopiers used abroad require special paper to make copies.
However, the photocopiers researched at the Ninth Research Institute used ordinary paper.
Such a photocopier will certainly be more commercially competitive and more easily accepted.
This is also why Yang Xiaotao has always supported the development of photocopiers.
Even if we can't sell them and earn foreign exchange, at least we can fill the gaps in the domestic market and prevent others from making money in China.
Of course, the best outcome would be to thwart Xiao Rizhi's research and development of photocopiers.
It could be the butterfly effect of Yang Xiaotao, or it could be the blow of two epidemics that abruptly broke the momentum of economic development in this small time and space.
Its research on photocopiers has been slow and stagnant.
Now that he has taken the lead in achieving a technological breakthrough in photocopiers, Yang Xiaotao will not let this opportunity slip by.
This is the perfect opportunity to disrupt a peaceful life.
What Yang Xiaotao wants to do is to take the lead, seize the photocopier market, and make a living by selling his products, leaving them with nowhere to go!
