Chapter 2292 Final Appointment

Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Yang Xiaotao was walking in the memorial hall with Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning.

Yang Youning felt inexplicably excited when looking at his "hard work".

It's time to change the brand.

The original Red Star Machinery Factory Memorial Hall will also become the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building Memorial Hall.

By then, not only the achievements of the Red Star Machinery Factory, but also the achievements of the nine subordinate departments can be included here.

In the future, this will become the most meaningful memorial hall in the city of 1949.

And he is the advocate and initiator.

"Take down the big sign at the door and put it up here in a moment."

“It’s both an end and a new chapter.”

Yang Youning pointed to the earthen platform at the corner and spoke with emotion.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then looked at the memorial hall which was almost at the end, "Old Yang, didn't you say you wanted to put a model airplane here? This space is not enough."

"Hey, I've thought about this a long time ago. I'll clear out the warehouse at the back next year. The space will be vacant anyway, so it'll be perfect for a memorial hall."

Yang Youning had already made plans and was very proud of it.

"Old Yang, I think it's still a little small. It needs to be at least twice as big as it is now, otherwise it won't be enough for long."

Liu Huaimin walked around and made some suggestions.

When Yang Youning heard this, he was thinking in his heart. He thought about what Yang Xiaotao had told them about the development direction of the nine future departments, the research projects, and research topics. Maybe this space is not enough.

"If that doesn't work, we can build the warehouse into a three-story building, with the upper floors being used as offices and the lower floors being used as a memorial hall."

"That's fine."

Yang Xiaotao responded, then thought of the matter at the Computer Research Center and asked, "Old Yang, Director Han of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is about to move here. Have they chosen a place?"

"It's been arranged. It's in the logistics office building at the back."

"The place has been vacated and is being cleaned. We can move in before the New Year."

Yang Youning also became serious when talking about business. He then looked at Liu Huaimin and asked curiously, "Xiao Tao, what is the use of this computer?"

"What's the use? There are many uses."

Yang Xiaotao said it subconsciously, but when he wanted to say it more specifically, he was at a loss for words because he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing that the two were still waiting, Yang Xiaotao gave an analogy and said, "It's like our accounting data, we have to use an abacus."

"Computers are like hundreds or thousands of abacuses."

Yang Youning suddenly realized, "If you put it that way, then I understand. You are a calculating person, right?"

Yang Xiaotao thought of Yan Fugui for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Well, you can think so."

"One computer can replace hundreds or even thousands of accountants."

"That's pretty awesome too."

Liu Huaimin sighed and hoped in his heart that there would be such a machine.

By then, his work will be reduced by half.

However, with this machine, what will the accountants do?

Could it be that they are all unemployed?
When you think about the number of accountants across the country, if all of them lost their jobs, no, if half of them lost their jobs, this society would be in chaos.

Fortunately, it hasn’t been researched yet!
Just when Liu Huaimin was feeling relieved, Yang Youning took out a cigarette and said, "Oh, there's one more thing I didn't mention. The last movie we shot was our studio's 'Glorious Path'. We've got news from the film studio."

Liu Huaimin didn't light a cigarette, but asked curiously, "When will it be released?"

"The finished film has already been released, but it has not been released to the public yet."

"The comrades from the film studio wanted to screen the film in our studio first to see how it goes."

"We've been busy for a while, and now we have some time. Let's set a date so we can reply to each other."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and did not take Yang Youning's cigarette. His wife was pregnant, so he tried to be more careful in this regard. Unless it was necessary, he would not take the initiative to ask for cigarettes.

Speaking of this movie, Yang Xiaotao felt a little resistant.

It always feels awkward when people act out what they do.

It feels like bragging.

Moreover, at this time, they had just been promoted from the machinery factory to the level of the ninth department, and if they made a promotional movie, it would always feel a bit like they were trying to show off.

Yang Xiaotao expressed his concerns, but Yang Youning didn't care at all.

"To be in the spotlight?"

"How is this called showing off?"

“This is the revolutionary spirit spreading everywhere!”

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to listen to Yang Youning's nonsense. The movie was already out, so he couldn't stop it from being shown.

That would be even worse.

What's more, the protagonists in the story have all been renamed. If I don't admit it, no one can blame me.

"Forget it, I have no objection, you can make the arrangements."

"Okay, I'll arrange it then."

Tony Yang said with a smile, "We have a lot of things to do this year, so we haven't prepared any performances. I think we should just show a movie."

"On the night of the Little New Year, we'll play it throughout the factory."

"If there is no problem, let the film studio distribute the tape, and it can also promote our machinery factory during the New Year."

Yang Youning has a good plan in mind and is naturally shrewd when it comes to publicity.

"Unfortunately, it's too early now. It would be better if we could bring it up again next year."

Hearing some regret in Yang Youning's tone, Yang Xiaotao quickly said, "Come on, if it really comes to that, you still dare to shoot."

Yang Youning was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "That's true."

"Boss Yang, Secretary Liu, the factory director."

Lou Xiao'e's voice came from the door. The three looked over and saw Lou Xiao'e running over. "Boss Yang, Mr. Chen is here with his men. They are waiting for you in the office."

"Mr. Chen?"

"Could it be?"

Yang Youning thought of something and looked excited.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back quickly."

"Yes, don't keep the chief waiting."

After saying that, the three of them immediately walked out.

office.

When Yang Xiaotao and the other two came in, they saw Chen Lao and the other two sitting aside, and Chen Gong was chatting with them.

"Chief."

Yang Xiaotao came closer and nodded to Mr. Zhou again, then glanced at the plain-looking old man beside him, with some guesses in his mind.

"Xiao Tao, come here, let me introduce you."

Elder Chen stood up and pointed at Li Hongfeng and said, "This is Comrade Li Hongfeng."

"He is also the secretary of the Nine Departments appointed by the superiors."

"Hong Feng, this guy is the leader of the machinery factory. He is Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Comrade Li Hongfeng." His rough palms and thick calluses were warm.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Li Hongfeng held Yang Xiaotao's hand and was shocked by the other's youth.

"This is the secretary of the machinery factory, Comrade Liu Huaimin, and also your partner."

As Mr. Chen continued to introduce, Liu Huaimin quickly stepped forward and said, "Secretary Li, I am Liu Huaimin, I know you."

"Five years ago, I heard you give a report at the Railway Conference."

Li Hongfeng held Liu Huaimin's hand, but he had no impression of it.

"Hello, Comrade Huaimin."

"This is the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory, Comrade Yang Youning. He was also from the Northeast. You two are half fellow villagers."

Yang Youning knew that this person would be a member of the future leadership team, so he immediately went up to meet him.

The three of them met and then sat down.

It was only from Mr. Chen's introduction that Yang Xiaotao learned about the past of this secretary of the Ninth Ministry.

The other party had served as a railway soldier with Mr. Zhou and had participated in battles after crossing the river.

After I came back, I went to the southwest and stayed there for ten years.

During these ten years, he and his comrades built more than 5,000 miles of railways, all of which were railways that passed through high mountains and steep cliffs. He devoted his entire life's blood and sweat to revolutionary construction.

Now the other person is only fifty-two years old, only three years older than Liu Huaimin, but judging from his expression, it seems as if they are a generation apart.

This shows the other party's experience over the years.

But even so, Yang Xiaotao didn't see even a trace of reluctance from the other party.

On the contrary, when the other party talked about these things, there was always pride and satisfaction on his face.

He had seen this look before.

After the two parties met, Mr. Chen took out the documents he brought and prepared to read out the appointment.

Yang Youning quickly had the meeting room set up, and went to call Liang Zuoxin, Wang Guodong and the senior executives of the machinery factory.

When everyone arrived, Yang Xiaotao stood in the front row, and everyone looked at Mr. Chen on the stage.

Glancing down, Elder Chen took a deep breath and said, "I will read out the personnel appointments made by the superiors for the Ninth Department."

Yang Xiaotao, Liu Huaimin and others in the room all had serious expressions.

Even Li Hongfeng didn't say much.

At this point, even if you have other ideas in your mind, you must obey the orders of your superiors.

"According to the requirements of the superior leadership, the Ninth Industry Department was established, mainly engaged in"

"Specially appointed!"

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao is the Minister of the Ninth Ministry of Machinery Industry."

Having said that, Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward and took the appointment letter from Mr. Chen.

"Thank you, leader!"

Old Chen nodded and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder. "Xiaotao, the burden falls on you now. From now on, it depends on you."

"Yes, I know."

After saying that, he turned around and faced everyone.

Papapa

There was loud applause.

Elder Chen spoke again, "Appoint Comrade Li Hongfeng as the First Secretary of the Ninth Ministry of Machinery Industry."

Li Hongfeng stepped forward and calmly took the appointment letter, then shook hands with Mr. Chen and Yang Xiaotao, and then stood beside Yang Xiaotao.

Papapa

"Appoint Comrade Liu Huaimin as the Second Secretary of the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building Industry."

"Appoint Comrade Hong Zhi as Director of the Logistics Department of the Ninth Ministry of Machinery Industry."

Because the other party didn't come, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to help keep it.

"Appoint Comrade Liang Zuoxin as Director of the Security Department of the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building."

"Appoint Comrade Yang Youning as the Administrative Director of the Ninth Ministry of Machinery Industry."

"Appoint Comrade Chen Gong as the Propaganda Director of the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building."

"Appoint Comrade Wang Guodong as the Production Director of the Ninth Machinery Industry Department."

As the appointment letter brought by General Chen was distributed, the appointment came to an end.

There was no fanfare, no widespread advertising, and certainly no support from the many leaders who had originally founded the Red Star Machinery Factory.

But from today on, the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building Industry was officially established.

And today, Yang Xiaotao officially took office and began to perform his duties.

As for the follow-up matters of the nine departments, they will be the responsibility of the current leadership team.

But there are some unexpected things here.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao learned from Mr. Chen that each of the nine ministries would have three secretaries, which was a special arrangement by the superiors.

But now, there are only two.

And judging from the current situation, it is obviously more beneficial to the machinery factory.

In this way, except for the first secretary who is an outsider, the others are basically copies of the Red Star Machinery Factory.

In addition, adjustments were also made to the arrangements for Yang Youning, Wang Guodong and Chen Gong.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao only submitted the plan to Yang Youning, the production director, but now it has been replaced by Wang Guodong.

Obviously, this is an adjustment made by superiors.

After seeing the smiles on the faces of Yang Youning, Chen Gong and others, as well as the envy in the expressions of the people below, Yang Xiaotao decisively shut his mouth and kept the matter in his heart.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning smiled and were very happy with this arrangement.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was silent. Liu Huaimin quickly poked him with his hand. Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and smiled, "Thank you, leader. Thank you for your trust."

Old Chen nodded, thinking that Yang Xiaotao’s dazed look just now was a sign of happiness.

"The appointment has been announced. You will be working together from now on."

"But let me make this clear first. If you don't produce results, I will settle the score with you."

Mr. Chen's tone was easygoing, but everyone kept it in mind.

"Don't worry, Commander. We, the Nine Divisions, will definitely complete the mission entrusted to us."

Liu Huaimin spoke, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

Old Chen glanced at everyone, finally nodded to Li Hongfeng, and then left.

After everyone saw Mr. Chen off from the office building and watched him leave, Yang Xiaotao looked at Li Hongfeng and said, "Secretary Li, please take care of me in the future."

Li Hongfeng quickly shook his head, "Director Yang, I may need your care in the future."

Liu Huaimin stepped forward and said, "We will all be a family from now on."

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

The group walked into the office building with smiles on their faces.

At this moment, the news about everyone's appointment quickly spread throughout the machinery factory, and then spread to the surrounding streets and alleys.
