Chapter 2692 Solutions, Open Source and Adjustment
As Lu Tao was leaving the research institute, he was about to return to his office when he saw Director Yang leading two people toward the institute.
Lu Tao stood to the side, "Minister Yang."
When Yang Xiaotao saw that it was Lu Tao, he glanced at the documents in his hands, smiled and nodded, and then led the two of them into the research institute.
"Mr. Chen, Ms. Li, this is the photocopier."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao walked in, Xu Pengcheng immediately went forward to greet him.
After giving a brief introduction, Yang Xiaotao went to the photocopier and said, "Let me demonstrate for you."
So, under their gazes, Yang Xiaotao casually picked up a piece of paper from the table and put it into the photocopier. A moment later, Old Chen held a photocopy in his hand, with the graphics and text on it being exactly the same.
"This photocopier can be produced."
After a moment's thought, Old Chen spoke earnestly.
Li Rong nodded in agreement, "I've used a photocopier from the United States. It's very difficult to operate. You have to write on special paper and then use special paper to make the copy."
"Compared to ours, our copier is more convenient, clearer, and solves the paper problem. I think it has a huge advantage."
"If we can produce it, I think the market prospects will be good."
Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed when Li Rong said that.
"Sir, what do you think?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's expression, Old Chen immediately understood the plan. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "You can try to do it, just like a calculator, step by step."
"If possible, we will continue to expand the scale."
With Mr. Chen's words, Yang Xiaotao felt relieved.
Then Mr. Chen also stepped forward to try it out, and even wrote a few words and put them in the photocopier. He then looked at the photocopy again and again.
"Make a few of these photocopiers and send them over to me!"
Yang Xiaotao readily agreed.
Li Rong did the same, specifically instructing Yang Xiaotao that if production was possible, ten units should be reserved for their export business.
Yang Xiaotao readily agreed to the offer from such a supportive buyer.
The three of them wandered around the research institute. This wasn't Li Rong's first time here, but she always found something new and interesting each time she came.
He even joked that he wondered how many good things the Nine Departments had hidden away, and if they could show them all at once to everyone.
Yang Xiaotao simply shrugged, giving an "I don't know" look.
In fact, he genuinely didn't know.
After all, there are many research projects, but who can guarantee that they will definitely produce results?
But what can be guaranteed is that if even one of these research projects succeeds, it will be an epoch-making innovation.
Yang Xiaotao was equally certain about this!
The three left the research institute. Li Rong still had things to take care of, so she left first.
Mr. Chen then went to Yang Xiaotao's office.
After brewing the tea, Liu Lixue went out with Lou Xiao'e, accompanied by Yang Xiaotao.
Old Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "You guys are quite bold!"
"Now when I go out, I hear people talking about things like the Four Great Vajras of the Nine Departments, the Soft Knife of the Nine Departments, and that the Nine Departments are going to kick me while I'm down."
"You guys are amazing!"
"While there's a huge uproar outside, you guys are just sitting back and doing nothing."
As Old Chen spoke, he smiled, while Yang Xiaotao carefully poured tea. "Sir, I know this is a difficult matter, and it could give others a handle to use against us!"
"That's why I didn't dare to tell you in advance, because I was afraid of making things difficult for you!"
After saying that, he put down the teapot, got up and took a document from the drawer of his desk.
Old Chen snorted coldly and said unhappily, "You certainly think things through thoroughly."
Yang Xiaotao understood what Old Chen meant; to put it bluntly, it was all about caring for him.
"But we had no choice."
Yang Xiaotao sighed, "Commander, our Ninth Department was only established not long ago. We don't have much foundation, let alone seniority."
"The only thing we can rely on is the system, the rules and regulations."
Old Chen was aware of everything Yang Xiaotao said, and he also knew the current situation of the Ninth Division.
"Sir, you may take a look!"
Seeing that Old Chen's expression had softened, Yang Xiaotao handed the documents in his hand to Old Chen.
"This is some investigation data we have on the Tianjin Electronics Factory."
"For just one electronics factory, the annual expenses for redundant staff and tasks, personnel and project expenditures, and all other costs add up to more than one million!"
"And this is just for this year!"
"Our task force is in contact with colleagues in the internal audit department to prepare for strengthening the internal audit system..."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao handed the document to Old Chen.
At first, Old Chen had a smile on his face, but when he heard the number one million, the smile quickly disappeared!
He knew that during periods of rapid development and progress in certain areas, many problems would inevitably be overlooked, and these problems would be masked by the "general trend."
Some people even feel that this is necessary and acceptable.
Little do people know that it is precisely these seemingly minor problems, the issues behind these skyscrapers, that will gradually become chronic and intractable, rotting the very foundation of these buildings.
It might even erupt at some point and destroy the foundation.
Originally, when the Ninth Division made this commotion, he was one of "some people".
I also think that in order to promote development, we can relax some restrictions and give up some minor details. Everything should be considered in the context of the overall situation.
But now, looking at the documents submitted by Yang Xiaotao, at the description of the overstaffing, and at the final expenditure of more than one million yuan, Old Chen's heart was far from as calm as his face.
A factory can earn an extra million a year.
What about a hundred?
With so many factories across the country, one million each…
Instantly, Mr. Chen felt that the office was a bit hot, and his palms were sweaty.
"This was indeed an oversight on our part. We never expected that this bureaucracy and bureaucracy would escalate to this extent."
"However, what are your plans for dealing with these people?"
Holding the report, Old Chen asked again.
Identifying problems is not the goal; solving them is the key.
Yang Xiaotao and his team were able to take this step, and he admitted that he had neglected this aspect.
However, this does not mean that a one-size-fits-all approach is appropriate.
Upon hearing Chen Lao's question, Yang Xiaotao immediately replied, "Sir, firstly, these people are factory workers, and it's unrealistic to dismiss them all, and we can't do that either."
Old Chen nodded. Yang Xiaotao continued, "After discussing it among ourselves, we came up with a few solutions."
"tell me the story!"
Old Chen picked up his teacup and took another sip.
Yang Xiaotao said, "Actually, to sum it up, there are only two."
"One is open source, and the other is adjustment."
"Open source is easy to understand; it simply means taking these leadership teams out and reorganizing them into a production department."
"For example, we plan to rebuild a second factory for the electronics factory in Tianjin in Qinghe."
"This is equivalent to creating more jobs and accommodating more people."
"At that time, we will select these people, and those who are capable will continue to do their original work."
"If you have no ability or skill and only think about doing good things without putting in any effort, you might as well go work in the workshop."
"We'll use performance evaluations and such when the time comes. If someone doesn't work properly, we won't tolerate it."
As Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
There were plenty of ways to deal with this kind of person in the factory before I traveled back in time.
Some kind of agreement requires everyone to sign it to indicate their voluntary participation.
They even conduct opinion polls and questionnaires, as if they really think everyone is oblivious to the situation.
Who dares to disagree?
Who dares not sign!
This is an era in which workers are the masters of their own destiny.
"The second is to make adjustments."
"We will make unified arrangements for the extra personnel, especially the capable ones, based on the situation in each region."
"I believe these people are all capable."
"They are all talented individuals."
"Therefore, we will prioritize adjustments to make the best use of resources and talents."
"Those who really don't want to improve will just be sent to some unimportant places to give them a good wake-up call."
In the end, Yang Xiaotao didn't hide his true intentions.
He's not their parent, he doesn't have the time or the obligation to 'educate' them.
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Chen put down his teacup, his expression very serious.
"Open source, a solution!"
Muttering to himself, Old Chen shook his head.
Of these two methods, the first one seems to be simpler.
After all, all we need to do is build a branch factory.
But in reality, this is the most difficult part.
Because building a branch factory isn't something you can just do on a whim; you need the money to build it.
Once it's built, it still needs to be usable.
We can't just build a factory there and play house.
As for reassignment, more positions are needed to support it.
These two methods might be difficult for others.
But in the Nine Departments, it's very easy.
Just like photocopiers nowadays, if this were taken out, it would definitely be another big project.
Then we can arrange for a large number of people.
This is what open source is all about.
In addition, this research institute has many other valuable things.
Therefore, there is no shortage of open source resources.
But what about the other departments?
After a long while, Old Chen finally turned his gaze to Yang Xiaotao.
I always felt that this kid in front of me was someone who could cause trouble and pick fights.
But now it seems he's a capable person.
Some things, others may not take seriously and just let bygones be bygones.
But this kid takes it very seriously.
Yet, it always manages to leave people speechless.
"You need to keep this low-key!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Understood. We won't concern ourselves with other departments; we'll just focus on doing our own jobs well!"
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao understood, Old Chen didn't say anything more, nor did he have the intention to continue. He got up to leave.
I just took the report with me when I left!
Yang Xiaotao didn't care, since he had already made a copy of the report yesterday.
After seeing Mr. Chen off, Yang Xiaotao began to think about building a photocopier production workshop.
That's right, let's build a workshop at headquarters first.
If the technology matures and results are achieved, then a factory can be established.
This also reflects the lessons learned from the Tianjin electronics factory; we cannot be impatient for quick results.
After leaving the Ninth Department, Chen Lao did not go directly back to his office, but instead had his driver, Xiao Chen, drive him to the West Garden.
Upon arriving at the West Garden, I saw two cars parked at the entrance.
As Mr. Chen got out of the car and went inside, he saw Tong Xiaolong walking towards him.
"Commander, you've arrived."
"Little Dragon, who's here?"
When Mr. Chen got out of the car, he looked at the license plate and realized it was a car used to pick up VIPs.
What puzzled him even more was that these vehicles used to receive foreign guests shouldn't be here, right?
Tong Xiaolong looked around, then whispered, "Sir, this is from France."
"France?"
"Yes, I heard he was a friend of the leader when he went to study abroad."
"I came here for exchanges, but I also wanted to visit some old friends!"
Upon hearing Tong Xiaolong's words, Old Chen's expression hardened.
At this time, the arrival of these 'old friends' may not necessarily be a good thing.
