Chapter 2822
Dawn No. 1
Chapter 2822 Dawn One (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
P.S.: I'm shamelessly asking for your monthly votes!!!
Standing in front of the restaurant, watching Yang Xiaotao get into his car and leave, the crowd stood there for a long time.
"Master, this Minister Yang is truly generous."
The young man's face was flushed, and he spoke with a slight lisp, but his heart was burning with passion.
Ji Changshun had also drunk quite a bit, but his eyes were clear and bright. "Do you even need to tell me that?"
Wang Han sighed, "I heard that when Director Yang was at the steel rolling mill, he often helped people in need."
“I also heard that most of the people in the courtyard house where he lives are helping him to live a good life. I wish I were in that courtyard house too.”
"Yes, yes, I heard that they even built a school in their village."
"You're making a fuss over nothing. The corn we grow in our fields, that Yangcun No. 1 variety, was made by Yang Bu."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly right. Our Yang Department is outstanding in every aspect."
Suddenly, everyone started praising him without thinking, and each person offered a different compliment.
The key point is that everyone else thought it was normal.
"Minister Yang, you're amazing."
Finally, the group shared their reflections and watched the car disappear into the distance.
The young man took a deep breath and then looked at his master, "Master, do you want to go?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked over, their eyes revealing a hint of eagerness.
At the dinner table, Yang Xiaotao subtly mentioned that the Ninth Department might establish a helicopter research project in the future. Although he directly asked for everyone's opinion, he also revealed his intention in this regard.
What does this mean? It means that as long as the Nine Departments establish this project, they can become members simply by nodding their heads.
There are nine parts.
Those who are materialistic can only envy the fact that the Ninth Department has the best New Year's benefits.
Those with a more positive outlook, the Ninth Division really got things done, and their contribution to the revolution was truly remarkable.
Therefore, whether from a material or spiritual perspective, everyone has developed a preference.
However, they were all people who already had a master, and if they wanted to leave and join the Nine Departments, they needed a leader.
Nowadays, the most suitable job for this person is to keep track of work hours.
Ji Changshun took a deep breath. Although he had spent half his life in the current factory, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for it.
But at the dinner table, Yang Xiaotao whispered, "The revolution needs you."
It made him feel his heart suddenly surge.
Looking at everyone's gaze, Ji Changshun said with a serious expression, "Comrades, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that my life has been mediocre."
"Now, if I have the opportunity to contribute my meager strength to the revolution, do I still need to hesitate?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
The people at the machine factory then turned their attention to Wang Han.
However, everyone felt that it was really hard to say whether Wang Han, as a director, was truly capable.
"Why are you looking at me? There's no smudge on my face!"
Wang Han snorted coldly, and the faces of the people in the machine factory darkened. But then Wang Han said, "I've made it clear, I'm doing this for the sake of building the revolution."
"It's not about the money, it's about the tickets."
As he spoke, he raised his head, his face full of pride.
But deep down, he knew that while others might not know his situation as director, he certainly did.
I'd rather be a technician in the Ninth Department.
At the very least, it's a job I like.
The people behind him immediately realized what was happening and burst into laughter. The young man, even more excited, raised his arm and shouted under the influence of alcohol, "Building a revolution is everyone's responsibility!"
"Building a revolution is everyone's responsibility!"
A group of people in front of the restaurant raised their arms and shouted loudly, which quickly attracted the attention of the people around them. Then more people showed excited expressions, and gradually more people joined in the shouting.
Ji Changshun laughed heartily, then kicked the young man beside him, "You better practice properly, or don't blame me for not taking you."
"Ah! Master~~"
hahaha~~~
Back at the guesthouse, Yang Xiaotao met Dawson.
When Dawson saw Yang Xiaotao appear before him, reeking of alcohol, his eyes lit up.
"Yang, you need to exercise more. Only a strong body can break down alcohol quickly. Look at me!"
As he spoke, Dawson rolled up his sleeves, revealing what he thought were his strong biceps.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and immediately understood that the other party was mistaking his smell of alcohol for that of last night.
This guy has clearly forgotten who went down first last night.
However, Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, just laughed and said, "The convoy will arrive this afternoon, then we can load the trucks. I'm heading back to Beijing now."
Dawson nodded; it was already quite an achievement that the other party had stayed with him for three or four days.
You know, the last time we were in Beijing, it was difficult to even meet.
"Okay, but you can consider my movie projector."
Dawson was very serious this time.
Yang Xiaotao replied earnestly, "Sure, but only if you give me a discount."
"Oh my god, isn't this cheap?"
Dawson immediately exclaimed in surprise, saying that talking about prices was like testing a businessman's bottom line.
Yang Xiaotao shrugged. "Anyway, the current prices are very unfriendly to us."
"You know, movies are being shown all over the country right now. It's not just a few hundred or a few thousand TVs; there are at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. How much money could you make by handling that number?"
"Also, this new 35mm projector requires 35mm film, which is another expense."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Dawson gave a wry smile, "Yang, I've realized that negotiating prices with you is just asking for trouble."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "That's why we need sincerity."
"Okay, honestly, I can give you a 10% discount."
"Dawson, that's not fair. A 30% discount, for the sake of our friendship, I can have the department purchase a batch, um, starting at a thousand units."
Today, the number of factories under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Department has exceeded one thousand, not including those with cooperative relationships.
These factories, much like the steel rolling mills of the past, required projectionists to regularly travel to the countryside to oversee film screenings.
Many of these projectors were small 8.75mm projectors, which produced blurry images. As for 16mm projectors, most of them were used in cinemas in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, while a small number were used for screenings in rural areas.
Switching to 35mm projectors would not only improve the viewing experience but also promote the development of the domestic film industry.
Although Yang Xiaotao has no intention of making movies now, he is aware that the entertainment industry will occupy an important position in the future.
Now that there is the advantageous platform of Jiubu, Yang Xiaotao also wants to make arrangements in advance.
"Eighty percent!"
Dawson had already figured out Yang Xiaotao's bargaining techniques, so he simply went with the middle value.
And I just calculated it, there's an 80% chance I'll make a profit.
"Deal." The two hit it off immediately and then laughed.
In the afternoon, the convoy arrived in Dengzhou. In addition to Yang Zhi's C team members, Chen Gong also came along.
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotao, Chen Gong felt as if he had met a savior. "You should go back quickly, there's a huge argument going on over there."
"what happened?"
"What happened? It's all because of the computer."
Chen Gong sighed and then explained the situation.
Just yesterday, three of the ten computers sent back by headquarters were immediately taken away by the Second Ministry of Machine Building, on Yang Xiaotao's instructions.
The others are temporarily kept at headquarters since Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything.
But these three machines stirred up a hornet's nest.
First, the computer's processing speed exceeded Yang Xiaotao's prediction.
Yang Xiaotao initially told Peng that the computer provided by the United States could perform at most 10,000 calculations per second, but in the preliminary calculations of the Second Ministry of Machine Building, it jumped directly to 200,000.
According to information from the Second Ministry of Machine Building, the final speed will be at least 250,000.
What does 250,000 mean?
None of the nine mainframe computers met this standard.
Not to mention the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This caused a major uproar in the nine departments.
The first person to go to the Ninth Department was President Peng, who brought along the director of Institute 701. They immediately took five computers with them.
Even if Old Hong intervened, it wouldn't make a difference.
Finally, Liu Lixue made a phone call to someone, and only then did President Peng stop.
Of course, in the end, it's up to Yang Xiaotao to resolve this.
Moreover, Mr. Chen has already promised Mr. Peng that he will give him at least one.
After General Peng left, Old Wang from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry went to the Ninth Ministry twice a day without fail.
And once they arrived, they stayed where the computers were, saying nothing, yet saying everything.
Then, Professor Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also went for tea.
Finally, Old Qin from the logistics department joined the team, and two other people also went to the Ninth Department when they left.
As a result, with a group of old men watching, the computer research institute couldn't even take apart one of the machines for research.
There are nine parts now, it's quite lively.
Yang Xiaotao really didn't expect that the PDP-8 mini computer he bought this time would arrive so quickly.
The thought that this was a product discarded by the United States added to the pressure on me.
At the same time, the belief in developing computers as quickly as possible became even stronger.
After listening to Chen Gong's words, Yang Xiaotao looked Chen Gong up and down and said, "Old Chen, you ran out so quickly, you're not trying to avoid trouble, are you?"
Chen Gong blushed slightly upon hearing this, but quickly recovered, "How could that be? I'm here to take inventory of the incoming supplies so that I can receive them more effectively."
"I believe you."
Chen Gong chuckled and then said, "Before I came, Lao Li told me to ask what kind of computer this is, and if we could buy a few more?"
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then shook his head, "Probably not."
"What?"
"Because the other party isn't stupid either."
Chen Gong remained silent.
"Alright, now that you're here, I'll leave this place to you. Find out what's going on with Guo Liang and Wang Dahai later."
"As for the computer, you should talk to them; it would be best if you could buy it."
"I think I'll go back to Beijing first."
Yang Xiaotao had no desire to stay there any longer; he needed to make a decision about the Ninth Department as soon as possible.
"it is good!"
Chen Gong readily agreed, and Yang Xiaotao also mentioned the projector, telling Chen Gong to keep an eye on it.
Chen Gong readily agreed.
In the evening, Yang Xiaotao led Yang Zhi's Group C to Beijing by train.
Yang Xiaotao chose to take the train so he could have time to think.
On the train, the rumbling sound continued, leaving the night behind.
Inside the carriage, the dim incandescent lights overhead illuminated the view below.
This is a sleeper carriage specially prepared for senior leaders; ordinary cadres simply cannot buy soft sleeper berths.
Yang Xiaotao clearly meets the purchase criteria.
Therefore, only Yang Xiaotao, Yang Zhi, and others were in the entire carriage.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was not lying on the sleeper berth, but was sitting at the desk next to him, holding a pen and paper, with a serious expression.
The journey to Beijing will take fifteen hours, and Yang Xiaotao will arrive at noon. He needs to come up with a plan to resolve the troubles when he gets back.
"Minister Yang, would you like some water?"
Yang Zhi watched with great curiosity as Yang Xiaotao got into the car and started writing and drawing in a red notebook.
Yang Xiaotao put down his pen and closed his notebook.
He took the enamel mug, took a sip, and put it aside. "Brother Yang, sit down for a while."
Yang Zhi sat down as instructed.
"You looked worried as soon as you got in the car. Was it because of headquarters?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, took out a cigarette case and tapped it twice, two cigarettes popped out, one for each of them.
Yang Zhi took out a lighter, which Yang Xiaotao had given him in Persia.
"Yes, that's the matter."
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? Just divide it up, and it'll be fine once it's all gone."
"If that doesn't work, just hand it over to your superiors and give them a headache."
Yang Xiaotao laughed along, then gently shook his head.
After a long while, having smoked most of his cigarette, Yang Xiaotao finally said, "Brother Yang, have you thought of another way?"
Yang Zhi asked curiously, "What method?"
Yang Xiaotao remained calm. "Since there's not enough to go around, why not make more?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi was stunned. It took him a long time to react before he asked, "You have a way to make this, a computer?"
Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, he just took deep drags on his cigarette until the embers were almost burning his fingers. Then he looked at the notebook, opened it, and saw four words written on the first page.
