Chapter 2720 How to counter this move?
Workshop 3.
"Brother Qing, is it really impossible for us to do this?"
Xiaomai hurriedly ran over and asked.
The surrounding workers also looked worried.
"Brother Qing, if we work overtime and put in some extra effort, who knows, we might be able to do it?"
"That's right, Brother Qing, please teach us again and give us some pointers. We'll definitely learn well this time!"
"Brother Qing, our factory also has its honors. Even if not for these officials, we should think about the old factory director too..."
All eyes turned to Qinghai, especially the veteran workers who had experienced the factory's glory and found it even harder to relinquish their pride in the factory.
"Who knows?"
Brother Qing laughed, which puzzled those around him.
However, having worked with their director for so long, they naturally knew what kind of personality their director had.
"Who knows, we might even get a surprise."
Just as Qinghai finished speaking, a figure rushed over; it was none other than the factory director's secretary, Xu.
"Director Qing, the factory manager wants you to go to a meeting right away."
"We really owe a lot to your workshop three this time, otherwise our factory would have gone home empty-handed."
As he spoke, his expression conveyed a sense of closeness.
Seeing this, Qinghai smiled at Xiaomai and the others, "Look, isn't this a surprise?"
When everyone saw Qinghai again, they learned the final outcome of the matter.
The Ninth Department agreed to cooperate with the factory, but also reached an agreement that all products must be signed by Comrade Qinghai before leaving the factory to prove that the products are of good quality.
Otherwise, the Nine Departments will not accept it.
Furthermore, if the factory fails to meet its monthly targets three times, the Ninth Department will terminate the cooperation.
Finally, this collaboration also brought in the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry, since the wireless factory was under its management.
The Fourth Ministry of Machine Building had already heard about this matter, but knowing their own situation, they not only did not stop it, but secretly supported it.
After all, this technological advancement will also benefit them.
They never expected that such a thing would happen in the factory.
Regardless, the cooperation was secured after the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building got involved.
The news caused an uproar throughout the radio factory.
The entire Workshop 3 became a sea of joy.
The feeling of triumph and triumph is perhaps the perfect description of this moment.
……
The city of Sijiu, nine departments.
As dusk fell, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Hong smoked cigarettes in the office.
"Looking at it this way, it was a lucky accident, paving the way in advance!"
Yang Xiaotao briefly explained the situation in Guangdong, and Lao Hong sighed with emotion.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "No matter what, as long as things are developing in a positive direction, that's fine!"
As for what constitutes "good"?
Anything that benefits the development of the Nine Departments and doesn't hinder it is good!
Old Hong had the same thought, and then he talked about the situation in Persia.
They had previously received a large number of orders from Bosmoshidov, ranging from machine tools to weapons, covering many industries across nine sectors.
However, things have been somewhat chaotic there lately, and this chaos will hinder development.
The originally agreed-upon plan was thus affected.
Fortunately, Mosidov is now in the lead, and with the excellent performance of the J-8C, the rear is relatively stable.
However, the other side was not giving up and continued to buy weapons while also creating trouble.
They also understood that if Mosidov were given enough time to develop his industry properly, the threat would be even greater.
Therefore, they spared no expense in purchasing more weapons.
Thus, the weapons of the United States and the Alliance entered Persia.
To counter this threat, Mosidov had to invest more funds in weapons and equipment.
Similarly, other aspects cannot be taken care of.
When Lao Hong brought up this matter, Yang Xiaotao also had a headache.
In particular, Alfate has been asking about things from time to time lately, and although Mosidov talks to him every week, he deliberately keeps it a secret.
However, as the deal progressed, more and more weapons and equipment replaced the original machinery orders, which naturally aroused Alphat's suspicion.
Yang Xiaotao couldn't let things slide every time, and he was planning to talk to Mosidov about it. The child was old enough to be out in the open, so it was time to confront him.
As for the situation in Mosidov, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help either.
Moreover, as mentioned above, we will provide assistance to the best of our ability within the framework of the agreement.
To put it simply, you can't be too direct.
At the very least, they don't yet have the ability to directly intervene.
"Demand has decreased in Persia, but fortunately France has kept up, and with increased purchasing from other countries, our production remains stable."
"Currently, the production of the machine tools is more than half complete, and over half have already been delivered..."
"However, we also have some benefits. The number of J-8C low-profile aircraft that we originally ordered has increased, which is good for us!"
"Also, the south wants our planes, but I reckon it's unlikely. They have a hard time even building an airport there, and they don't have any pilots. If they buy them, they'll just be targets for others..."
Old Hong briefly explained the current situation.
The overall progress of each factory is good, although there are still some minor flaws, but they do not affect the overall progress.
Moreover, the pace of this progress is so slow that even comparing it to a train is a bit too slow.
After Lao Hong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao's eyes were full of pride.
"Old Hong, I think you were born for this!"
"How about this, you help handle these matters from now on..."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Lao Hong immediately turned his head, snorted coldly, and said, "Know when to stop, don't push your luck!"
Yang Xiaotao, however, was used to it. He got up and went to Lao Hong again, saying, "Oh dear, what is all this for? Revolution and construction!"
"Look, this expansion has boosted so many factories, driven industrial development, and provided jobs for so many people who couldn't afford to eat..."
"Old Hong, you need to think long-term. We're working hard now, but it's all for the benefit of more people!"
"Do you really want to see the people suffer and toil?"
"Old Hong, the Old Hong I know is a man who is passionate about public service and serving the people!"
"That was a man of integrity, upright and honest character, with nothing but his feet firmly planted on the ground!"
"Lao Hong!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Lao Hong with deep affection.
Old Hong raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Don't stop, I love hearing the truth!"
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback, then said speechlessly, "These are my lyrics!"
Old Hong chuckled, "Whoever says it, that's theirs!"
Yang Xiaotao was completely speechless.
Who leaked what I told that French woman?
Tang Mingyue.
It must be this woman.
"Alright, it's settled then."
"When Lao Liu gets back, you two should hand over the responsibilities!" "As for logistics, let Lao Chen manage it!"
"Old Yang will take over Old Chen's work, and we'll bring Old Xu back to take over Old Yang's position!"
Yang Xiaotao said it casually, and Lao Hong initially thought of refuting it, but by the end, his eyes showed more approval.
Clearly, this guy realized the problem at headquarters and started making adjustments.
If this area is rearranged, there will be much less sediment in the nine parts.
Therefore, he had no reason to refuse, since his current status allowed him to participate in revolutionary construction thanks to Yang Xiaotao's help.
Since the other party wants the Ninth Division to become better, he naturally has to help them.
Moreover, he had also developed feelings for the Ninth Division and hoped that outstanding young people like Yang Xiaotao would grow up to be even better.
However, after thinking about it, Yang Xiaotao didn't reassign Wang Guodong. It seems that in his heart, Wang Guodong is the closest to him.
In the future, I should give Wang Guodong more responsibilities so that I won't be too busy.
Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lao Hong did not object.
As for Lao Hong's "political maneuvering" and the like, Yang Xiaotao would definitely cry foul if he knew.
He was really just coordinating the work; he had no other intentions, that's all.
Both felt the other had done a good job, so their conversation became increasingly smooth until a knock came at the door, at which point they stopped.
"Minister Yang, the car is at the door!"
Lou Xiao'e pushed open the door and walked in, speaking to Yang Xiaotao.
"Old Li's back! Come on, hurry up!"
With that, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Hong went downstairs.
When the two arrived downstairs, the car that was there to pick them up stopped.
"Old Li, welcome back!"
"We missed you so much!"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward enthusiastically, and Li Hongfeng, who had just gotten out of the car, was taken aback by Yang Xiaotao's enthusiasm.
Looking past Yang Xiaotao at Lao Hong behind him, Lao Hong shrugged and shook his head, and Li Hongfeng understood.
"Don't try that on me, I know you too well."
"He's probably just dumping the work on someone else!"
"Injustice!"
"What accusation? All the achievements I've made along the way are the glorious deeds of our Ninth Division!"
Li Hongfeng spoke casually, and Yang Xiaotao quickly laughed it off, then immediately looked at the person getting out of the car, "Hey, is this your sister-in-law?"
He then abandoned Li Hongfeng and went straight to the car to look at the woman getting out.
The person who got off the bus was Li Hongfeng's wife, Shan Hongying.
Originally, Li Hongfeng returned alone, but Sun, who had received instructions from Yang Xiaotao, inadvertently revealed that Li was sick, and that's how it ended up.
Yang Xiaotao was doing all this for Li Hongfeng's own good!
Only by taking good care of Lao Li's health can he devote himself wholeheartedly to his work.
Everything is for the sake of revolution and construction; it's definitely not for anyone's ulterior motives.
As they spoke, Yang Xiaotao nodded to Officer Sun beside him. To outsiders, it seemed like a casual meeting, but the two of them understood each other perfectly.
The task was completed well!
Thank you for your recognition, Director Yang!
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Yang Xiaotao. Old Li mentioned me, right...?"
"You must be Brother Yang. You look young and have such fair skin..."
"My husband has told me a lot about you along the way, and every time he talks about you, he says you're an incredibly talented young man, even more talented than he was at your age..."
"No, no, it's just a small achievement..."
"My husband, Old Li, really owes a lot to your help..."
"Don't be so formal. I just did what I was supposed to do. Old Li is the backbone of our Ninth Department..."
The two men actually started exchanging pleasantries in front of the car. Old Hong, who was standing to the side, took out a pack of cigarettes, tapped one end with his fingers, and two cigarettes popped out. One was given to each of them.
"You're back!"
"These past few days, Lao Liu has been out, Lao Yang and the others have been busy with things, and you haven't been around either!"
"This guy's using every trick in the book!"
"Just before you came back, you tried to dangle a carrot in front of me!"
After saying that, he laughed, and Li Hongfeng laughed along with him.
He naturally understood Yang Xiaotao's temperament; if he were asked to do research, he would truly work day and night.
But if I ask him to sit in the office and process documents, it's like cutting off his flesh; he's incredibly lazy.
"Don't worry, no matter what tricks he uses, we'll stick to one!"
Li Hongfeng raised an eyebrow and smiled, then he and Lao Hong whispered together, "We won't take the hit!"
Hahaha
The two of them burst out laughing, which alerted Yang Xiaotao, who was speaking beside them. He then looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go inside first, don't block the doorway."
"Sister Shan, let's go inside first. I'll introduce you to my husband later."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao helped carry the things and then walked towards the office building.
"Oh, that's not good!"
"What's wrong with that? We're all one family across these nine departments, we don't distinguish between each other..."
"From now on, we all need to help each other!"
Yang Xiaotao's enthusiasm made Sister Shan fully feel the warmth of the revolutionary family.
"Alright, if there's anything my husband, Lao Li, needs in the future, he'll definitely help!"
"Alright, I like what you said..."
Yang Xiaotao smiled happily, then looked back at Li Hongfeng and the other man before walking quickly forward.
But the two people behind them felt uncomfortable.
Li Hongfeng, in particular, now understood Yang Xiaotao's intentions.
This is her taking the wife route.
"Old Hong, what do you think we should do to counter this move?"
After Li Hongfeng finished speaking, Lao Hong gave him a helpless look.
His wife is still at school.
Thinking about this made me feel even worse.
It turns out that I had already fallen victim to this disease without even realizing it!
The two exchanged a silent glance, then shook their heads and walked towards the office building.
It's not that none of the parties are making an effort; it's just that the other side is too shameless.
It is impossible to guard against it!
Li Hongfeng's return not only made Yang Xiaotao's work much easier, but also improved the operational efficiency of the entire Ninth Department.
Meanwhile, news of what happened in Yuefu spread rapidly over time.
Unlike the incident at the Liuzhou Machinery Factory, that time it made everyone realize the domineering and resolute side of the Ninth Division.
This time, however, it allowed people to see one side of the person in charge of the nine departments: their adherence to the rules and their perseverance.
The two events, which occurred less than half a month apart, caused quite a stir in the country.
From the initial nine internal audits to the later staff reductions, these steps may seem imperceptible and haphazard, but each step was taken very solidly.
It was this solid attitude that allowed the expansion of production in the various factories of the Ninth Division to proceed exceptionally smoothly, and also laid a more solid foundation.
