Chapter 2763
Demand for 10,000 Cars
Chapter 2763 Demand for One Million Cars
Since attending the meeting, Yang Xiaotao has not paid any attention to the nuclear power plant.
Firstly, I have a lot of things to do, and I have to go to the research institute almost three times a day.
Even so, the CNC machine tool issue is still quite troublesome.
Chang Mingjie and Lu Tao are practically pandas now, but they just can't do it.
Because of this, Lu Tao joined Li Hongfeng and Zhao Gang in their efforts, and the three of them are almost becoming role models for the 'Ninth Department'.
Secondly, since the higher-ups had said they didn't need to worry about it, Yang Xiaotao really didn't care.
Or rather, even if you worry, it's just pointless worry.
Just do your own job well, and the rest will be handled by the 'relevant personnel'.
And so, in these busy and fulfilling days, the weather in Beijing got warmer and warmer, and people started to take off their cotton-padded clothes and sweaters and gradually put on cool long sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, May Day has arrived again.
Department Nine, in the office.
Yang Xiaotao put a stack of design drawings aside, patted his head, and let the fatigue dissipate.
Looking at the design again, I felt somewhat helpless.
"You still haven't mastered it."
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao had found the reason why he hadn't been able to acquire the CNC machine tool.
The reason for this sentiment is not that there is a problem with the design of the machine tool, nor is there a problem with the computer control.
The problem arose from the combination of the two.
From the very beginning of the CNC machine tool project, Yang Xiaotao deliberately divided the research and development into two parts.
One is machine tool design, and the other is CNC research and development.
Then, the project was split into two parts. Although Yang Xiaotao was in charge of the integration, he underestimated the difficulty of the integration.
Or rather, they overestimated their abilities.
This requires a change in Yang Xiaotao's mindset.
I used to think that with the infusion of systematic knowledge and experience, I would be invincible.
But now it seems that Yang Xiaotao is just a lucky guy, a lucky guy who has a system.
Looking at the design drawings, Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment, then picked them up and examined them carefully again.
You have to walk the path you chose.
Homemade wine, no matter how spicy, you have to drink it.
Just as Yang Xiaotao picked up the design drawings to replan, there was a knock on the door. Lou Xiao'e glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then went to the door and opened it.
A slightly dark-skinned, sunny boy stood outside the door.
"Sister Xiao'e."
Lou Xiao'e saw Alfat standing at the door with a smile on his face and quickly said, "Please come in."
He then nodded to Lee Seungri behind him, who also gave a warm smile.
He dared not provoke the two female secretaries in Yang's office.
Although they are not very old, they are both veterans.
More importantly, that Secretary Liu's identity is not simple.
After making a few inquiries, I was shocked and also warned by Li Rong that I should not inquire about or spread any information about her.
Then look at my own Minister Yang, who actually took such a 'princess' as his secretary, that's truly remarkable.
No wonder no one dares to cause trouble in the Nine Departments. If someone really wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't even need this Minister Yang to step in; there would be a whole bunch of people helping them deal with it.
Thinking of this, Li Shengli followed Alfat into the office, his expression becoming even more respectful.
"Brother Tao, are you still busy?"
Alphat approached Yang Xiaotao and looked at the documents and drawings on the table. He felt that the table was quite large, but still not big enough.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Alfat, then nodded to Li Shengli as a greeting.
As for Alphat, I don't know if he was influenced by the school or led astray by the people of the Ninth Division. He's become more and more frivolous. I thought he would be more composed, but he's not as good as he was when he was a child.
"You didn't skip class again, did you? I heard last time you ran away for no reason and the teachers searched for you for ages."
Alphat chuckled awkwardly. He had heard that Miao Miao was having a birthday party and then ran out of the school, but forgot to ask the teacher for leave.
Fortunately, Yu Zecheng happened to be home in the courtyard and saw them, which helped to smooth things over.
Otherwise, if this guy can't find anyone at this point, the people above will be frantic with worry.
At this point, Yang Xiaotao thought of the current situation in Persia.
When I spoke with Brother Wang on the phone last time, I heard that the situation was in Mosidov's favor.
First, because of the Alliance spaceships, the Alliance and the United States fell out over the Persian issue.
The alliance's withdrawal significantly reduced the support available to the existing Persian regions.
The United States' support for the region was also affected because the Alliance increased its support for Bei'an, sending all the bullets, shells, supplies, Thunder missiles, armored vehicles, and the like that purchased from China to Bei'an.
Now, Bei'an is like an inflated giant. Although it hasn't made a move yet, once it does, it will definitely cause an earthquake.
The United States is also in a dilemma. They originally wanted to withdraw from the Annam battlefield, but North Annam is pressing them step by step. If they leave, South Annam will probably be annihilated in no time.
That would not only render their investments over the years worthless, but would also negatively impact their international standing.
It could even lead to the alliance expanding and being exaggerated as a failure.
The national pride and cohesion that the people had painstakingly built up by landing on the moon might be cut in half.
Therefore, they could only continue to send more troops to Nan'an to increase their strength.
Moreover, in order to deal with the J-8C fighters that might appear over the Bei'an battlefield at any time, they had no choice but to send the Tomcat fighters, which were barely on par with the scimitars in the Persian battlefield, to deal with any possible surprises.
It should be noted that agents within the alliance have reported that the alliance has repeatedly requested to purchase these fighter jets from China in order to strengthen Bei'an's defense capabilities.
For some reason, China has not given in.
The reason for this might be money.
The issue of money is the easiest to resolve, which is why the United States has to be wary of it.
As a result, a large number of Tomcat fighters appeared in Nan'an, which greatly reduced the number of Tomcats supported by Persia. The local Persian forces are now unable to resist the rise of Mosidov.
The scimitar-shaped desert swords that whistled through the sky became a symbol of the Mosidov forces.
Moreover, seeing the powerful performance of the Desert Scimitar, Camel also placed new orders to increase the number of Desert Eagles and hoped to continue upgrading them.
Therefore, the upgraded version was given a catchy name: Super Eagle.
It was probably meant to warn the restless camels around it.
Yang Xiaotao naturally agreed to this, and then handed it over to the crazy Red Star Aircraft Factory.
As for the aircraft research institute at headquarters, they need to develop new engines, so they don't have time to work on the Super Eagle.
"Brother Tao, today is May Day, Labor Day. I saw a lot of people taking a break on the street, so you don't need to work here."
Alphat sat down next to Yang Xiaotao in a very casual manner.
Li Shengli walked to a chair to the side, and Lou Xiao'e placed a cup of tea in front of him, thanking him profusely.
"I know, that's why I'm resting at night."
Yang Xiaotao knew that once the other party arrived, he could forget about working. He put the design drawings aside and then looked at the two of them, saying, "You two came together, is there something wrong?"
Alphat chuckled, then looked at Li Shengli, "Old Li, you tell us."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless upon hearing this from Lao Li.
You're a Persian, for crying out loud! How can you adapt to local customs so quickly?
Yang Xiaotao was really afraid that after this guy returned to Persia, he would see his father and call him "Old Mo".
Persia probably didn't have rolling pins.
Hmm, this guy must be their biological son.
Can't be beaten to death!
Before Yang Xiaotao could finish his wicked thought, Li Shengli, upon hearing Alfat's words, quickly put down his teacup and said, "Director Yang, we're here to report on the car sales situation."
"At the same time, we now have an opportunity to expand production." Hearing Li Shengli say this, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said, "Just prepare the production and sales reports and submit them to Director Chen Gong of logistics and Director Zhao Gang of quality control."
"Don't bother me with this. I have so many things to do, it's driving me crazy."
Li Shengli smiled awkwardly after hearing this, but Yang Xiaotao was indeed quite busy.
I used to hear Li Rong and the others say that Yang Xiaotao was lazy, but after being in the Ninth Division for a while, I found that Yang Xiaotao wasn't lazy. He just didn't think it was worth getting involved in trivial matters.
But when it really comes down to action, they are anything but lazy.
On the contrary, they worked harder than anyone else.
"Then let me tell you about the opportunities we have now."
Lee Seungri immediately brought up the second matter.
Alphat, who was standing nearby, saw a game console on a table not far away. Ignoring the conversation between the two, he picked up the game console, checked it, and ran behind Lou Xiao'e's desk to play it.
Fortunately, the game console's volume could be adjusted, otherwise Yang Xiaotao would have wanted to kick this guy out of the office.
"Minister Yang, it's like this."
"Just a few days ago, in a car accident in Britain, a British viscount was riding in one of our Velociraptors."
Li Shengli briefly explained the situation.
Yang Xiaotao understood.
It was just a car accident.
Then, thanks to the Velociraptor's excellence, it protected the Viscount and his family.
This made the Viscount very grateful.
It should be noted that, due to the other party's intoxication, the oncoming Ford was traveling at a speed exceeding 80 kilometers per hour.
At the moment of impact, the front of the Ford was crushed and the entire car was overturned.
But that's not the most important thing, because the Viscount's velociraptor also had a small cargo truck behind it.
After the initial impact, the velociraptor was then violently struck from the side by a car behind it.
Then it was hit head-on by a small truck and crashed into the coffee shop next door.
In the past, in car accidents of this severity, nine out of ten people inside the car would not survive.
Even if they survive, they will be severely injured and disabled.
But when the firefighters opened the car door, the Viscount, who was driving, was found lying inside a white airbag.
Although the Viscountess and her two daughters were huddled together in the back, the seatbelts secured them firmly, and the airbags on both sides protected them as well.
When the firefighters took the family of four to the hospital, everyone looked at the Velociraptor again.
Although the front and rear were dented, and the sides were covered in scratches, the car miraculously started when the firefighters tried to start it.
Then, the firefighters drove the car through the city, amidst the horrified stares of the crowd.
The next day, the Viscount's family's test results came back, revealing that it was just a mild concussion, and they would be fine after resting at home for a couple of days.
So the next afternoon, after the Viscount's family was discharged from the hospital, they immediately drove the Velociraptor home.
This immediately attracted widespread attention in British society.
With the improvement of economic living standards, more and more private cars are coming into people's view.
Especially in Britain's major cities, the number of families owning cars has been increasing year by year. Britain's various car factories have also seen this opportunity and have begun to increase production and speed up production in order to meet people's demand.
As a result, the number of people who die in traffic accidents each year has exceeded five figures, and this number is rising rapidly.
A recent car accident has directly tested the car's performance.
In contrast, the Ford was totaled, and the drunkard was thrown from the car, his neck was broken, and he died on the spot.
The drunkard later learned that this man was actually the owner of a car factory.
Such a person is not short of money, otherwise he wouldn't be driving a Ford.
Unfortunately, money can't buy life.
"So, Britain really likes our velociraptors?"
Yang Xiaotao understood what Li Shengli meant and casually asked.
"Yes!"
Li Shengli said happily, "Because of this, our Velociraptors have become very popular in Britain. Orders have increased by 200% compared to last month, and this number will continue to increase."
"Moreover, orders from France are also increasing. They have a larger car fleet and are dealing with multiple countries in Europe, making the promotional effect even more pronounced."
"Therefore, we must increase production and not miss this rare opportunity."
Yang Xiaotao nodded silently after listening, "You can make the decision about this."
"If production is insufficient, increase production."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Li Shengli gave a wry smile. Alphat, who was playing a game next to him, put down his game console, stood up helplessly and said, "Brother Tao, I learned from Butler Belan that Father has been focusing his energy on military construction lately, and many workers have gone to the aircraft factory to help."
"Currently, car factories are only maintaining their existing production levels; it's becoming increasingly difficult for them to expand further."
Alphat shrugged and said, "We've run out of ideas over there, so we can only try to find a solution here."
Yang Xiaotao turned to look at Li Shengli, "So you've come here this time to ask us to produce more?"
"Then you should talk to Director Liu from Jinan."
Li Shengli scratched his head. "Director Yang, I've already spoken to Director Liu."
"However, the situation there is not good either, and even if production capacity is increased, it may not be able to meet the demand."
Yang Xiaotao then took it seriously, "You mean, increasing production capacity isn't an option either?"
Li Shengli nodded.
"Damn it, how many trucks would that take?"
Suppressing his excitement, Li Shengli said with all his might, "A lot, a lot."
"How much is 'a lot'? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Alphat seized the opportunity to speak up, "Brother Tao, you were the one who wouldn't listen and told us to go find Director Chen."
"shut up."
Yang Xiaotao gave a stern reprimand, and Alphat immediately lowered his head to play the game.
Then he looked at Lee Seungri.
Li Shengli immediately replied, "Since we started building the factory last year, we have sold a total of 50,000 cars."
"However, the number of orders we received this time has exceeded that."
"Moreover, according to the investigation we conducted by authoritative institutions, their conclusion is that if this growth trend continues in the coming year, the demand may reach over one million per year."
"And according to the latest Ford Motor Company report, their automobile production in the United States has exceeded 1.2 million."
"With the number of cars in Britain still increasing for various reasons, coupled with demand from places like France, this production volume of one million is still reliable."
Li Shengli explained the situation in general terms, and Yang Xiaotao really couldn't sit still this time.
The annual demand for one million cars.
That's no small sum.
This is a huge opportunity!
It's such a big cake that you could get tired of eating it.
Even if it's just one meal, I can eat until I'm stuffed.
"Come on, follow me to the conference room."
Yang Xiaotao got up and walked towards the conference room, instructing Liu Lixue, "Notify Secretary Li that Lao Hong and the others are having a meeting."
After saying that, the two walked out of the office.
As for Alphat, he rarely gets involved in such matters; he only needs a result.
