Yang Youning took out a document from the drawer and placed it in front of Yang Xiaotao. It was the same document as in the morning. Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao did not read it carefully at that time.
"Here are some ideas we have."
Yang Youning said, opened the file, glanced at it and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.
"The initial plan is to disband Workshop 10 and add personnel to Workshops 1 to 9, and then transfer capable personnel to form Workshop 10."
Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while and handed it to Wang Guodong.
"I think so."
"I thought about it before the meeting. Now our factory seems to have a lot of things, but there are some projects that no longer need to occupy resources and can be handed over to the branch factories below for production."
“I think it’s enough to leave two to three projects in the current steel rolling mill.”
"Which ones do you think should be kept?"
"Tractors and pressure cookers should stay. These two items will have a bright future as their technology has been upgraded in the future."
Yang Xiaotao expressed his thoughts, and Chen Gong on the side added, "I remember you said last time that steam engines will be replaced by internal combustion engines. Do you plan to develop internal combustion engines now?"
After hearing this, Yang Youning interjected, "Internal combustion engines are not easy to make. Last time I went to a meeting, I didn't even look at the roar from the north, but the things I made, haha."
"The power is not as good as our steam engine, and the output is low and takes a long time. This efficiency is not to mention popularized. Even if it is used on one-third of an acre of land around it, it is too slow."
Yang Xiaotao nodded after listening. Domestic research and manufacturing of internal combustion engines are still lacking, otherwise the automobile factory in Qidu would not use the engines modified in Shanghai.
"It's better to do this sooner rather than later. When the oil industry develops, it will be easier to use oil than coal."
Yang Xiaotao said and Chen Gong nodded, "What Xiaotao said makes sense. Let's study it first. We may figure it out when."
"Okay, are there any other projects? I think the heating furnace and the water pressure well are both good. They have gained a good reputation, and all the factories in the 49th city are lined up to install them."
"This is something I have to consider, but I think the opportunity to drill a well is better. After all, pressurized water wells and heating furnaces have been copied by factories. The technical content of these things is not high. It is estimated that they will explode next year. Instead of waiting for next year
If you are squeezed out by the market, it is better to make arrangements in advance.”
Yang Youning listened and thought for a moment, "Since you are in charge of this area, come up with a charter."
"good."
"Then next, I will be responsible for the rank assessment. Lao Chen will be responsible for logistics, warehouse and publicity. If you don't understand anything, you can ask. If you are unsure about anything, we can discuss it together."
"By the way, I have something else to tell you."
"You two directors are stepping down. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong looked at each other, then named a few names, and the four of them started discussing in the office again.
When it was almost time to get off work, Yang Xiaotao mentioned that he would go to his house for dinner tonight and continue to discuss things.
Of course, Yang Youning knew the inside story, but he refused, "You can eat at any time. Let's straighten out the work first."
After get off work, Yang Xiaotao returned to his office and prepared to pack his bag for get off work.
Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e didn't leave the room, as if she was waiting for him.
"Why don't you leave after get off work?"
Yang Xiaotao picked up the backpack, but Lou Xiao'e smiled, "I was waiting to congratulate you."
"How's it going, Director Yang? Are you particularly excited?"
Lou Xiao'e came closer, as if she were the deputy director of the factory.
After Yang Xiaotao packed his things, he put on his backpack and looked like a traveler, which was incompatible with the deputy director's airs.
"Excited? Why?"
"I became the deputy director. Isn't it well deserved?"
Yang Xiaotao walked out with his head held high.
"Go home. Remember to organize the information tomorrow so you don't lose it."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's proud look, Lou Xiao'e laughed out loud, "A narcissistic guy."
When I returned to the courtyard, before I entered the door, I saw Yan Fugui grinning at the door, "Xiao Tao, I heard that you have been promoted?"
Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Yang Xiaotao politely replied, "It's a fluke. It's all thanks to the leaders and comrades."
Yan Fugui smiled and said, "I knew that with your ability, you would be promoted wherever you go."
"In all the years since the Qing Dynasty, our courtyard has never had such a big official."
"Before, when you became the director, I felt like I was as high as the sky. Oh my, this time you became the deputy director. It's really like sesame seeds are blooming and getting better and better!"
Yang Xiaotao was in a hurry to go home. He exchanged a few words with Yan Fugui and then walked to the middle courtyard. Along the way, many people who were cooking saw Yang Xiaotao and went out to say hello. Yang Xiaotao also behaved kindly and friendly to the people, saving people from saying he was being airs.
, once you become an official, you no longer recognize people.
The impact is not good.
Watching Yang Xiaotao go away, Yan Fugui hurried in and was greeted by the third aunt.
"Old man, does what I said before still count?"
Yan Fugui's face changed, "You're confused, that's the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, higher than the director of the sub-district office, you're plotting against him, you're going to be unhappy!"
After the meeting, Yan Fugui felt that his goal was not achieved, which was a shackle in his heart.
In addition, the coal that Yang Xiaotao bought was not enough for his family, which made him even more worried.
If you fail to calculate the benefits, it will be more uncomfortable than losing money.
Therefore, Yan Fugui took great pains to make Yang Xiaotao the master of this courtyard.
Several family meetings were held and tasks were assigned to family members. One was to publicize in the courtyard the necessity of Yang Xiaotao becoming an uncle and the benefits to the people in the courtyard.
The second is to go to the sub-district office and ask the comrades from the sub-district office to do ideological work for Yang Xiaotao.
but now…
The third aunt and Yu Li were all sitting on the stools honestly.
When I first heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. It made my legs and feet weak.
The same goes for other families in the courtyard. No one expected that Yang Xiaotao would be so capable.
"Old man, do you think you will move out if you become the deputy director of the factory?"
"When the time comes, so many houses will be freed up in this yard, our family will..."
The third aunt's eyes were shining, and Yan Jiecheng beside her also looked eagerly looking forward to it.
"what are you thinking!"
Yan Fugui snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten that their house belongs to them?"
"Do you think our family is like this? What are you thinking about all day long?"
The three aunts and others were stunned immediately, how could they have forgotten this incident.
"Then tell me, will he still divide the house?"
Yan Fugui raised his glasses, his eyes filled with wonder.
If we are dividing the house, let alone three children, there will be enough room for three more children.
The family was really talking, and three more people came behind.
Yan Fugui looked over and saw that it was the second uncle's family, no, it should be the remaining family except Liu Haizhong.
Liu Guangtian walked in front, and Liu Guangfu and the second aunt walked in with support.
The three of them hid after something happened to Liu Haizhong. Now that Liu Haizhong was sent to a labor camp, they found out the news and realized that it would not harm their family, so they dared to return to the courtyard.
"Old man, Liu Haizhong's family is back."
"Oh, I'm back, it's even more lively."
In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao passed through the hanging flower gate, and everyone who saw it smiled back.
Those who could not be seen were hiding at home, with doors and windows closed.
Today, Mrs. Jia Zhang stayed at home and did not dare to go out.
I guess I will have to be more restrained when going out in the future.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"
After putting the bicycle away, Yang Xiaotao walked in. Wangcai ran over and circled around, stretched out his hand to touch the dog's head, and walked into the house.
Ran Qiuye was preparing dinner when he heard Yang Xiaotao's voice and came out with a spatula.
Yang Xiaotao had already put down his backpack and walked in with his sleeves rolled up.
"No need for that today, you go wash your hands and watch the Dragon Boat Festival."
Ran Qiuye kicked Yang Xiaotao out of the kitchen and continued working alone.
Yang Xiaotao smiled, picked up the Dragon Boat Festival, and played in the house.
After a while, Ran Qiuye brought out the food and prepared a bottle of wine.
"It's so rich, it's a celebration!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at it and said in surprise, Ran Qiuye pursed his lips and smiled.
"Eat, eat! You think I'm hungry!"
"Come on, son, have a taste!"
Yang Xiaotao dipped his chopsticks into some rice wine, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth during the Dragon Boat Festival, he was photographed aside by Ran Qiuye, "You're doing it again!"
"Ha ha…"
Lou family
Lou Jingtang came out of the house and watched the stars twinkling in the night sky with mixed feelings.
When his daughter said someone was checking their home, he felt hesitant.
Everything has been handed over in order to live a stable life.
During this period, I did enjoy a normal life without so many worries.
But if the other party really wants to investigate him, he has no power to resist at all.
At that time, he really wanted to use the last resort to leave here, leave this land where he was born and raised and where he had struggled.
However, his daughter's final words made him let go of this idea.
Maybe, it's the last moment.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for those who were looking for trouble to be taken away, and they were taken away in a completely failed manner.
From his daughter's words, he finally figured out one thing. These people had touched someone else's 'cake'. This 'other person' was very capable. This cake seemed to be Yang Xiaotao.
From that moment on, he felt uncomfortable.
In the past, no matter how talented Yang Xiaotao was, he was just capable and had not grown up enough to be treated as a cake.
But now, this boy has changed into two different people.
So, he regretted it.
I regret that I was blind in the beginning.
Today, my daughter brought back the news that Yang Xiaotao became the deputy director of the steel rolling mill.
Being appointed as the deputy director of the factory at such a young age, he first admired Yang Xiaotao for his ability, and secondly, he admired the person who promoted talents in an eclectic way.
With this appointment, Yang Xiaotao is like having two wings. He can fly with the wind and skyrocket to ninety thousand miles.
Looking up at the sky, ninety thousand miles above, are there any stars twinkling for him?
He put a coat on his body, and then his arm was held, "Dad, what are you doing out here alone? It's so cold."
Lou Jingtang patted his daughter's arm, "Xiao'e, tell me, if dad had..."
"Dad, why are you just like mom?"
"The past is the past. What we have to do now is to live the life in front of us, those,"
Lou Xiao'e looked up at the starry sky, "Those are just passing clouds and smoke, useless."
Lou Jingtang sighed and lamented in his heart that he had seen many young heroes in the shopping mall in his life, but he didn't want to miss his daughter's important event.
It’s weird, I just blame myself for trusting my own people.
"Xiao'e, dad has one last question for you. That day you said, 'As long as he comes back, everything will change.' Why do you believe him so much?"
Lou Xiao'e leaned her head against her father, "Because, like his father, he has a power in him, a power that can change and change."
"I can't tell, but as long as he wants to change, he can always do it."
"Perhaps this is the reason why he was able to succeed and get to where he is now."
Lou Jingtang was stunned, then laughed, "What you said made me very interested."
"Such an outstanding young man, if he had been born twenty years earlier, he would have been a trendsetter of the times."
Lou Xiao'e laughed and said, "It's not too late."
"Yes, it's not too late now. Unfortunately, Dad is already old."
"No, I think dad can still work hard for another twenty years."
"Okay, if you still want to work hard for an old man like Dad, your daughter deserves it."
Although he said this, deep in Lou Jingtang's heart, a fire began to burn.
"Twenty years? You can afford it!"
The door of the room opened, and Mrs. Lou Tan came out with a thermos, "You two are blowing in the air here, it doesn't feel too cold."
"Go back to the house quickly."
The father and daughter looked at each other, and Lou Xiao'e supported Lou Jingtang and walked quickly into the house.
"By the way, Xiao'e, Mom heard from the third aunt next door that a young man will come back in two days. He is a soldier. You."
