three days later.
Nine departments, research institute
Photocopier Research Institute.
The original research on photocopiers was conducted at the Ordnance Research Institute.
Now that the photocopier has been manufactured and further research and development is needed, it is no longer appropriate to attach it to the ordnance research institute.
It just so happened that Yang Xiaotao also intended to mentor Xu Pengcheng, allowing him to continue improving the photocopier and researching printers, which led to the current photocopier research institute.
At this moment, the newly established photocopier research institute was filled with people.
In addition to leaders Yang Xiaotao and Lao Hong, the attendees included Ye Lao, the director of the research institute, Han Sanfeng, the vice director, as well as Shu Xingbei, Wang Can, and others.
The main characters are naturally the researchers from the Ordnance Research Institute led by Liu Xiangdong and Xu Pengcheng.
However, the two are now separating.
After the split, some members of the Mechanical Research Institute followed Xu Pengcheng to the Photocopier Research Institute, while the rest continued their original research.
As for the missing personnel, Yang Xiaotao also promised to fill the gaps.
Next year's college students will be given priority.
The main task of the newly established photocopier research institute is to explore the production process of photocopier processing and assembly, and how to assemble and produce photocopiers more quickly.
This is also something that all nine departments are paying close attention to.
After all, there was only one photocopier, which was simply not enough for nine units.
According to the logistics staff, at least three photocopiers are needed at headquarters alone to meet daily office needs.
Of course, this will also increase the cost considerably.
Cough
As with all the other leaders before they began speaking, Yang Xiaotao cleared his throat twice before saying, "Comrades!"
"After the 'Shiguang' photocopier was developed and underwent a period of testing, it has received support from higher-level leaders, which will be a groundbreaking innovation in China..."
Papapa
Yang Xiaotao spoke briefly for ten minutes, mainly making empty promises to everyone.
At the same time, we will also announce that Lao Hong is in charge of the photocopier production.
Old Hong felt helpless about this.
In Yang Xiaotao's words, Yang Youning and the other four were too busy, so it was just the two of them left.
He also has to take charge of the research institute. It's almost the end of the year, and the design drawings for the helicopter and machine tools haven't been completed yet. How can he have time to do anything else?
We can't exactly send Lao Liang.
There was nothing Old Hong could do but accept it, even if he had to grit his teeth and bear it!
After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the situation, Liu Xiangdong, Xu Pengcheng, and the others below were extremely excited.
Nothing is more inspiring than having your research recognized.
Moreover, the results of this research are not just about honor, but also about personal benefit.
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Lao Hong also said a few words.
After the two finished speaking, the meeting was considered over.
Yang Xiaotao then got up and left, and after Ye Lao and the others offered their congratulations, they also left.
Only Lao Hong and Xu Pengcheng remained in the room.
"Director Xu, we need to get the photocopier production going as soon as possible. Could you give me a list of which departments we need to cooperate with?"
After Lao Hong finished speaking, Xu Pengcheng immediately handed the prepared list to Lao Hong.
Old Hong was not surprised by this.
Doing things ahead of time is a fine tradition in the Ninth Department!
Otherwise, which leader would like to be constantly pushed by their boss to do everything?
"Director Hong, these are our specific requirements for producing photocopiers."
"Some materials and components need to be purchased, and of course the requirements are all specified on the label."
"Furthermore, this is the personnel allocation arrangement..."
Xu Pengcheng spoke earnestly.
Of course, Liu Xiangdong helped to create this information.
He's a tech geek. Ever since he took Yang Xiaotao's advice to modify the ink cartridge, he's been completely absorbed in it and doesn't know much about anything else.
So he shamelessly approached Liu Xiangdong and asked him to help him make a list.
But Liu Xiangdong himself had a lot on his plate. He needed to continue improving the infrared night vision device and also had to go to the factory to check on the situation.
Especially recently, there has been a significant increase in overseas orders for night vision devices.
The logistics department has been sending messages and urging us to expedite the process.
Since Xu Pengcheng had already asked for this much, Liu Xiangdong casually wrote down the factories where he had previously researched photocopiers. Anyway, these factories all had processing experience, so there was no fear of any mishaps.
"good very good!"
Old Hong nodded with satisfaction.
But in her heart, she remembered Yang Xiaotao's words of advice.
A large portion of the components for this photocopier were not manufactured by factories under the Ninth Department.
One-third of them came from factories under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department.
If things had gone according to past practice, the Ninth Department might have taken over these factories.
However, after the incident at the electronics factory, Yang Xiaotao began to reorganize the Ninth Department's factories.
At the same time, they are more cautious about taking over factories.
So another method was proposed.
It's a 'bidding' process!
Instead of limiting production to the nine internal factories, we now look nationwide. Once we have production requirements, we choose the company that has the capability and can do it better.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao also meant something else: to strengthen cooperation with various departments.
This can be considered as giving up some of the profits.
At the same time, it can help well-established factories develop.
After all, the future cannot be sustained by a single dominant player.
In response, Lao Hong could only say that everything would be in accordance with Yang Xiaotao's requirements.
Of course, he didn't know whether Yang Xiaotao had this idea or was forced into it by his father-in-law.
The only difference was that the target was eventually expanded from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry to the entire country.
Old Hong read through the report, then put it aside and said in a serious tone, "Director Xu, this document is good; it basically covers most of the production plants."
"But I think we can do better."
Xu Pengcheng didn't react at first, and then he heard Lao Hong continue, "My suggestion is to send the same task to multiple qualified factories, strive for excellence, and use whichever one does it best."
"what do you think?"
Xu Pengcheng immediately understood what Lao Hong meant, and without any hesitation, he said directly, "That would be best."
"I have no opinion."
In his view, as long as the photocopier he makes is good enough, that's fine.
As for who does it, that's none of his business.
"so be it."
"Just follow this list. I'll have someone issue a notice later, sending these requirements to the relevant departments and factories to assign tasks!"
"Whoever can do it, and do it better, we'll choose."
Xu Pengcheng had no objection. "Sir, we'll do whatever you arrange."
"Don't worry, we definitely won't hold you back."
Old Hong patted Xu Pengcheng on the shoulder, "Comrade Xu Pengcheng, there's another task for you."
"Sir, please speak." "Yes, sir. First, assemble a photocopier. Chief Chen needs it urgently."
After Lao Hong finished speaking, Xu Pengcheng immediately nodded, "Boss, we are currently assembling the second photocopier these past two days. We still have some materials left over from the previous experiments. If possible, we can also make the third one."
"Great! When will the second one be ready?"
"The day after tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow."
Xu Pengcheng said seriously, "If we work overtime tonight, we can finish it by tomorrow afternoon, test it tonight, and it will be ready to use the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you comrades to work hard tonight."
"The higher-ups are very anxious about this photocopier."
"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."
After saying that, Xu Pengcheng immediately ran out of the research institute.
Old Hong went out with his hands behind his back, wondering why Old Chen was in such a hurry.
Tianjin Electronics Factory.
Factory director's office.
Gui Ming sat in the chair, holding a pen in his hand. His expression shifted between seriousness and helplessness, and finally to relief.
If we're talking about him a year ago, he was full of ambition and high spirits.
After being incorporated into the Ninth Division, it gained the coveted treasure trove of the 'Calculator'.
Similarly, thanks to the benefits brought by this treasure trove, their electronics factory became famous throughout the country.
It was even known as one of the "Twin Pearls of Tianjin" along with the Tianjin Radio Factory, which shows its status in Tianjin.
However, his good fortune was short-lived. Just when he thought the year would pass peacefully, bad news suddenly struck.
First, the internal audit department found a bunch of problems in the factory.
To be honest, their electronics factory had heard of the Internal Audit Department before joining Department Nine, but they had never had any formal contact with it before and thought it was just an ordinary inspection department.
Unexpectedly, the internal audit staff who came this time were so professional.
First came the laws and regulations, then the ordinances, then the rules and regulations, and finally the operating procedures.
Finance, material balance, quality inspection, and so on are all taken into account.
More importantly, the entire internal audit team was under the supervision of the headquarters' security department throughout the process, and even gained leadership of the security department as soon as they arrived at the factory, which shocked everyone in the factory.
What was previously taken for granted has all been uncovered during the investigation, causing him, the factory director, to lose face.
However, to his surprise, this was just the beginning.
Just as he was preparing to report the rectification progress to his superiors, an investigation report on redundant staff and tasks was sent from headquarters.
It was then that he realized the seriousness of the situation.
Looking at the number one million at the end of the report, I felt a chill run down my spine.
This is the electronics factory under his management.
Although this profit is only a small fraction of what they earn, it is still revolutionary and national.
He had considered refuting it, but after checking, he found there was no reason to refute it at all.
As a result, under orders from headquarters, the electronics factory began to downsize. The once bustling office building, with its constant flow of people, suddenly became deserted.
However, compared to the deserted office building, the workshop was more lively and full of positive energy than ever before.
Moreover, putting aside the million-dollar issue, the current office efficiency is much higher than before.
If you assign a task, it can be quickly communicated and implemented.
He knew that everything was under the control of headquarters.
As long as the workers in the workshop support it, the electronics factory will not fall into chaos.
"The headquarters really thought this through."
"I have to admit, they're amazing!"
After a long while, Guiming put down his pen and sighed deeply.
He then called out to the outside, "Xiao Meng, have Wang Li from the R&D department come over here."
"Yes, factory director."
After the secretary left, Gui Ming picked up the documents issued by headquarters from the table.
This is a notice issued by headquarters, which lists some project requirements.
Based on these requirements, a suitable production plant will be selected to complete the task.
Looking at the report, Gui Ming felt a mix of emotions.
There are several projects that their electronics factory can handle; in the past, they would definitely have been assigned to them.
However, after this incident, the headquarters' trust in them was clearly diminished.
This is dangerous for him.
"This time, I must perform well and change the impression my superiors have of me."
Gui Ming slammed his left fist into his right palm and said sternly.
Yuefu, radio factory.
As an important electronics manufacturing plant in Guangdong, it successfully manufactured the province's first television set in 59.
This was only a year later than the first television set manufactured in the country by Tianjin, but the television set produced was no worse than that of the Tianjin Radio Factory.
It even made it into the newspapers and caused a sensation throughout the country.
This demonstrates the strength of the Guangdong Provincial Radio Factory at that time.
Unfortunately, this period of prosperity was short-lived. With the departure of the alliance experts, the Yuefu Radio Factory did not maintain its technological advantage. Instead, it relied on its past achievements and was constantly surpassed by electronics factories in Beijing and Shanghai.
Today, the Yuefu Radio Factory's television sets have suffered a major setback, with annual production targets declining.
This is partly due to domestic consumption power, but also because television manufacturing plants in other regions have expanded, reducing their production capacity.
The latter is the main reason.
At this very moment, in front of the factory office building, a middle-aged man wearing a long-sleeved jacket sat on the steps, idly smoking a cigarette. This kind of tobacco, rolled up with white paper, had a particularly strong smell when inhaled.
The middle-aged man looked left and right, then looked up at the sky, waiting to go home after get off work.
"Life is so comfortable!"
Stretching, the middle-aged man prepared to speed up and finish the last cigarette butt.
Just as he took a deep breath, a young man ran out of the office building behind him, holding a telegram in his hand.
"Brother, Brother Qing, good news, great news!"
The young man ran up quickly, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Brother Qing, look! This is a telegram from the Ninth Bureau of Beijing. It contains the requirements for some components."
"I've looked into the exposure lamps and magnetic rollers here, and I think that's our strength."
Before the young man could finish speaking, the middle-aged man spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and snatched the telegram away.
They knew perfectly well what the nine ministries in the capital were all about.
They also knew that if they could build a good relationship with this big ship, things would definitely go smoothly for them in the future.
"That's quite a high requirement."
Qing Ge squinted, his face becoming more serious.
Just as the young man was about to speak, Brother Qing suddenly revealed a confident smile, "However, this is no challenge for me."
He stood up and said, "Let's go find the factory manager."
"That old man is probably hiding in his office drinking again."
He then walked quickly toward the office building.
Suddenly, a bell rang out behind me, followed by a group of people emerging from various workshops, arm in arm, laughing as they left.
