Chapter 3117 The truly great ones are them
Leaving his office, Yang Xiaotao hurried to the research institute.
The production of computers has been basically finalized, and all downstream factories are ready to tackle the challenges.
But the production line for printers has only just been set up. If we want to mass-produce them, the technical guidance from the research institute can't stop.
Upon arriving at the research institute, we saw that Professor Qian was surrounded by a group of people, and the leader was none other than Lu Tao.
What's going on?
Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao approaching, everyone quickly stepped aside, while Old Qian maintained his warm smile.
"teacher!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Lu Tao and the others, "What are you guys up to? A bunch of you blocking the corridor, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Tao, Wang Kun, and the others all shrank back, not daring to speak.
Old Qian spoke up to help everyone out, saying, "It's alright, it's alright!"
"Having questions is a good thing. When I was in school, I would keep asking my teacher questions whenever I didn't understand something."
"I finally understood, and then I could sleep soundly!"
Lu Tao and the others nodded immediately upon hearing this, their gazes toward Old Qian even more fervent than the gazes Liu Lixue and the other woman had shown toward Yang Xiaotao.
Okay, Yang Xiaotao admits that his teacher has an unparalleled charm in academics.
But we can't let these guys interfere with the teacher's rest right now.
"Okay, you guys discuss this amongst yourselves, and then submit any questions to Lu Tao."
"Lu Tao, give the statistics to Teacher Qian so that the teacher can address the issues specifically in the next class."
At this point, Yang Xiaotao looked at Professor Qian again and asked, "Professor, what do you think?"
Professor Qian nodded, "This is a good method. It can solve the problem, understand the students' grasp of the material, and provide targeted teaching materials for the next lesson. It's a good method."
Lu Tao and the others were delighted to hear this and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get ready."
Yang Xiaotao waved to dismiss everyone, then followed Mr. Qian to the office and sat down.
"What brings you here?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao pour him water, Old Qian asked with a smile.
Han Sanfeng, Chen Fang, and a few others were also in the room.
Several of them came from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to help out and also specifically taught courses.
Yang Xiaotao greeted the others, then sat down and said, "I came to check on the progress after receiving a mission from above."
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Chen Fang immediately asked curiously, "President Yang, how many tasks have been assigned from above?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Uncle-Master, you can call me Xiao Yang or Xiao Tao here."
Chen Fang smiled and nodded; Yang Xiaotao's attitude pleased everyone.
Then he continued, "Is it the computer and printer?"
"Yes, I just received a call from Mr. Chen. He said that the foreign trade department has received inquiries from many countries and several deals have already been reached."
Yang Xiaotao then briefly recounted what Old Chen had said, and the people in the office were all stunned when they heard about more than a million computers.
Then they calculated how much money they could make this time and how much foreign exchange they could earn, and then a second shock came.
Even Mr. Qian never expected that the invention of the printer would actually promote the development of computers.
Even more unexpectedly, so many countries are buying computers.
Truly, surprises are everywhere!
"Teacher, senior brother, I won't disturb your class any longer."
"I need to go check the printer. This is a critical time, and we can't afford to mess things up."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao got up and left, and everyone in the room stood up to see him off.
After Yang Xiaotao walked away, Han Sanfeng immediately smiled and said, "Now, the research funding is secured."
Chen Fang said irritably, "Old Han, are you deliberately bringing up a sore spot? Are you trying to make us envious?"
Everyone else had the same expression when they heard this.
Back in their previous departments, getting research funding was like the arduous journey to the West, with its eighty-one tribulations.
Moreover, the research funding provided is often insufficient, requiring departments to find their own solutions.
And so, it will drag on for a long time.
Of course, it's the same all over the country; everyone is tightening their belts to do research.
But now, a 'special case' has emerged across the country.
It is the research institute of the Ninth Department.
Here, no matter what kind of research project or topic it is, funding has never been a problem.
As long as it's reasonable, the nine ministries will approve it.
The reason for this is that the nine departments are wealthy.
Secondly, the nine departments attach great importance to research and development.
Seeing everyone looking over, Han Sanfeng proudly raised her head and smiled, "It's alright, as long as you join the Ninth Department, the research funding will still be plentiful."
The others complained again after hearing this.
Of course, some people were genuinely tempted.
After leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao went straight to the photocopier research institute.
At this moment, Xu Peng was leading a group of people to assemble a printer and was also instructing them on precautions.
Seeing that Xu Pengcheng was busy, Yang Xiaotao found Liu Xiangdong, who was in charge of production, and explained the situation briefly. Liu Xiangdong also felt a lot of pressure.
"For now, we just need to maintain normal production and ensure that the printers we produce don't have any quality issues."
"You need to help the Seventh and Eighth Ministries of Machine Building to complete and put them into operation as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to complete the subsequent tasks."
Liu Xiangdong nodded, "We have already activated the contingency plan, and each department has also selected its best personnel to go to various factories to provide technical guidance, starting from the basics to ensure quality."
The foundation Liu Xiangdong refers to here is the most basic standardization.
This is the standard that the Nine Departments have been promoting since their establishment.
Each component has strict specifications; the exact quantity must be produced. It cannot be substandard, nor can it be of poor quality.
Each printer component must be manufactured to strict specifications to minimize errors during assembly.
Seeing that what the other party said made sense and that he clearly had his own ideas, Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything more.
Next, Yang Xiaotao went to Huang Degong's place to inquire about the computer production situation.
Upon learning that there was a task involving more than one million computers, Huang Degong jumped up in his office.
He's under immense pressure lately.
In the workshop, a large number of computers come off the production line every day. The assembled computers can't be sold and can only be stored in the warehouse. It's no wonder they're anxious.
If Yang Xiaotao hadn't told him to go all out on production, he would have already ordered everyone to slow down.
Today, facts have once again proven that Yang Xiaotao's vision was long-term and his decision was correct.
He steadfastly carried out the plan set by Yang Xiaotao, and now it's time to reap the rewards.
After walking around the computer assembly workshop, Yang Xiaotao once again reminded Huang Degong to keep a close eye on the factory, especially to pay attention to security.
Then he took a car back to the courtyard house.
three days later.
Yang Xiaotao received a notification from Li Rong that Dawson from the United States had arrived and wanted to visit the computer manufacturing plant in Department 9.
Yang Xiaotao did not agree immediately, but consulted with Elder Chen and waited for news.
As a result, after Mr. Chen reported the matter to his superiors, they immediately agreed.
Perhaps, from the perspective of the higher-ups, this was also an opportunity to showcase the achievements of revolutionary construction.
After receiving instructions, Yang Xiaotao summoned Yang Youning and Liang Zuoxin and put them in charge of publicity and safety issues at the computer processing factory.
Security is not only about external security, but also about internal security.
Upon receiving the news, Yu Zecheng also brought his men to help.
Just as Yang Xiaotao was waiting for Dawson to arrive, news came again from Li Rong.
The alliance has sent people.
This time it was the same old acquaintance, Pavel, that big fat guy with a beer belly.
The alliance bought 3,000 computers last time, and we thought they would continue to do so, but then they suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This dashed Yang Xiaotao's hopes of making a fortune.
Now that the other party has come in person, Yang Xiaotao feels that the money is beckoning to him.
Since receiving one group of people is considered receiving guests, let's just arrange for everyone to receive them.
Of course, the timing needs to be staggered.
The next day, in the morning.
Dawson led Natasha, now renamed Carrie, to Beijing, and then, accompanied by Li Rong, they went to a computer manufacturing factory.
Of course, Natasha is completely different from Alyosha who came last time. After plastic surgery, even if Yang Xiaotao took a second look, he didn't recognize her.
Perhaps if Xiao Wei were here, she might discover something.
But now that Xiaowei is with Duanwu, Yang Xiaotao has no other options.
"Mr. Dawson, it's been a long time."
Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to shake hands with Dawson, who had a big smile on his face.
"Yang, I'm going to call you General Manager Yang now. Congratulations on your promotion!"
"When I was your age, I didn't have your abilities or status."
Hearing Dawson's compliment, Yang Xiaotao just smiled and said, "This is not just about ability, but also a huge responsibility."
"Under this responsibility, I dare not linger or slack off for even a moment."
He then gave a wry smile, "Can you understand the pressure involved?"
Dawson shrugged and then shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not you, so I can't understand that kind of pressure."
"However, I can reduce the pressure on your shoulders a little."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao gestured with his hands and laughed, "Then I'm really looking forward to it."
After saying that, the two walked together toward the computer manufacturing factory.
"This is our computer production line. The entire process involves manual labor, and every step is closely monitored to ensure that every product is up to standard."
Liu Lixue once again served as the commentator, leading the way for the group.
Yang Xiaotao accompanied Dawson on his journey, stopping and starting along the way.
Upon seeing the production line in front of them, Dawson and Carrie and the others behind him stopped, their expressions serious.
"Yang".
Suddenly, Dawson spoke, and Yang Xiaotao turned his head to look at him with a questioning expression.
Then Dawson pointed to the surrounding production lines and said, "You know what?"
"I had thought about the computer processing scenario before I came here again."
At this point, Dawson's face became more serious.
Even Liu Lixue stopped involuntarily and listened carefully.
"To be honest, based on the information I have, I have always believed that there are many, many workers here, holding screwdrivers in their hands, making the parts one by one."
"Then these components are put together one by one to form a computer."
But now
Dawson pointed again to the workers operating the machines around him and said, "What I see is a large number of workers operating machines, and a large number of machines carrying out mechanized and industrialized production."
"We also saw the standardization of components and the assembly line production model."
Do you know?
“A country that cannot even achieve standardized production cannot be called an ‘industrialized country’.”
"And here, everything here gives me the illusion of stepping into the automobile capital."
At this point, Dawson looked at Yang Xiaotao again and said, "Yang, you guys are really great, amazing."
After listening carefully to Dawson's words, Yang Xiaotao did not rush to answer. Instead, he turned to look at the busy workers on site and said seriously, "No, they are the ones who are truly great."
