Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2439 Is this how you treat your friends?
Four Nine Cities.

After getting up in the morning, Yang Xiaotao had breakfast at home and then took a bus to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

I thought about it last night. Some things cannot be explained clearly over the phone and still need to be discussed in person.

When he arrived at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Security Department did not stop him and Yang Xiaotao went straight to the office.

It was a little early, and Gao Yufeng and Dean Deng had not arrived yet, so Yang Xiaotao walked around other office areas.

"Teacher Yang, you are here so early."

Hou Lijing didn't expect to meet Yang Xiaotao here, and surprise and curiosity appeared on her face at the same time.

"I came to see Lao Gao for something. You're here quite early."

Hou Lijing smiled and said, "My home is just behind the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I can get here in just a few steps after dinner."

"Your family? Are you married?"

Yang Xiaotao remembered that Hou Lijing's home was in the Xicheng District.

Hou Lijing smiled and nodded.

"What does the subject do?"

"As a doctor, I am now a third-level Chinese medicine practitioner."

"Wow, that's amazing. You've already reached level three at such a young age. Not bad, not bad."

"No, I just figured it out by myself and read medical books all day long."

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Xiaotao asked about the situation in the northwest.

"Wang Hao is in charge of the research and development work there. The experimental field there is the largest in our country."

"There are also large experimental fields for hybrid rice in the south."

"Our research is highly valued by the higher-ups, but we have also done a lot. The seeds we developed have helped more people to have food to eat and enabled more children to grow up healthily."

The more Hou Lijing spoke, the more proud she became. In her heart, this was the most meaningful thing.

Yang Xiaotao listened silently, feeling emotional.

He didn’t know whether the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had this scale in his previous life, but it was definitely not as big as it is now.

Moreover, there certainly weren't so many high-yield crops in the past.

There is not so much food.

The two were looking forward to a better future. Gao Yufeng passed by the door and Yang Xiaotao hurriedly called him.

When Gao Yufeng heard from the security guard that Yang Xiaotao had arrived early in the morning, he hurried up.

"Lao Gao, it's a good thing you're here. I have something to tell you."

"Xiao Hou, you come too."

Gao Yufeng nodded quickly and opened the office door.

"Lao Gao, I went home last night and studied your grain varieties."

"I find"

Yang Xiaotao only told the two of them the results of his discovery and did not elaborate on the specific process.

The two did not ask because the result was beyond their imagination.

"You mean, the traits of these mother plants are declining?"

"Yes, and there are white spots in some of the endosperms. You should pay attention to this. I feel this is not a good thing."

Yang Xiaotao took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and asked the two to look at it carefully with a magnifying glass before he was ready to leave.

"Xiao Yang, you are too busy to handle all these things, and we are asking you for help. It's really..."

Gao Yufeng felt a little ashamed.

This is their job, but they didn't do it well and still needed Yang Xiaotao's help. They felt guilty.

"What are you talking about? I'm a member of our Academy of Agricultural Sciences and I get paid, too."

"Okay, that's it. The rest of the research is up to you. I still have a lot to do, so I'll leave first."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and walked out.

Gao Yufeng hurriedly followed behind and escorted him out of the office building.

After seeing Yang Xiaotao leave, he said to Hou Lijing, "Yang Xiaotao, if he had come to our Academy of Agricultural Sciences, maybe the whole country would have had enough food to eat long ago."

Hou Lijing nodded in agreement after hearing this.

After leaving the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yang Xiaotao went directly to the Ninth Department.

Just sat down in the office.

Yang Youning walked in and asked, "You disappeared for the whole afternoon and came back so late this morning. What secret operation are you doing?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the cup and took a sip of boiled water. "I have too many secret operations. I run east and west. Even when I sleep, I have to think about what I will do tomorrow."

Yang Youning smiled and said, "Just now Li Chengjun from the northwest called and said he couldn't find you and Secretary Li wasn't there either, so he called me."

"He called with something urgent?"

"Well, I said I would support you."

"support?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't quite understand.

Yang Youning then explained the situation at Li Chengjun's place, "They want to expand the scale of the steel mill and need funds."

Yang Xiaotao understood immediately.

"They want money?"

Yang Youning nodded, "It's all because of the three hundred million."

Hearing this, both of them smiled bitterly.

Yang Xiaotao said angrily, "I don't have any money. Let him figure it out on his own."

Yang Youning sat aside with a smile, neither saying a word nor leaving.

After a long while, Yang Xiaotao finally sighed, "Two hundred thousand was transferred from the calculator factory, and there is no more."

"Okay! I'll go find Lao Hong."

After saying that, Yang Youning ran out.

bang bang
After a while, there was another knock on the door.

Yang Xiaotao nodded to Lou Xiaoe, who went forward to open the door and saw Wu Zhe walk in.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and put on a serious look, "Old Wu, what's the matter?"

Wu Zhe didn't notice the expressions of Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue. He just came up to them happily and said, "Commander Yang, the design drawings of the J-8 in Shengjing have been sorted out. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Hearing that they were not here to ask for money, Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief. The one million was finally saved.

"Go and have a look."

Standing up, Yang Xiaotao and Wu Zhe walked towards the research institute.

When he arrived at the research institute, Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Xushan, Hu Feng and others sorting out the materials. These were the design drawings brought by Shengjing.

The people brought by Bian Xiang were explaining something nearby, and sounds of discussion could be heard from time to time.

When Yang Xiaotao and another person walked in, everyone stopped working immediately.

Walking into the room, looking at the pile of design drawings in front of him, Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly, "Why do I feel like there are more design drawings than Baiju?"

Bian Xiang and the others were embarrassed when they heard this, but they finally said, "Director Yang, we have a lot of design drawings here."

“I had thought about streamlining it before, but I didn’t know which one would be the most suitable.”

"For example, for this delta wing, we have three design options. We are currently using one, but the other two also have their own advantages and disadvantages."

After Bian Xiang's explanation, Yang Xiaotao finally understood what was going on.

This is just like Fang Mou Du Duan, some people are good at coming up with ideas, but not so good at making decisions.

It now seems that there are too few people who can make decisions on the J-8 research in Shengjing.

"There's only one suitable one, why make so many."

"Old Wu, re-plan each position to adapt to the new engine."

Wu Zhe nodded immediately, "Understood, we will start the research right away."

"When you're done, send me a copy."

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaotao walked around the research institute for a while, learned the basic information of the J-8 fighter, and then left.

Only after Yang Xiaotao left did Bian Xiang and others breathe a sigh of relief.

They didn't expect that the R&D work of the Ninth Department would be in such a mode. They thought it would still be a "brainstorming" and "collective efforts" as before.

As a result, it now seems that Yang Xiaotao is almost the only one who has the final say.

But they dare not say it out loud because others have proved it with Baiju.

After leaving the institute, Yang Xiaotao asked about the desert friends who came to study.

“When will those people arrive?”

Yang Xiaotao asked, and according to the requirements of both parties, the other party needed to participate in the design and production.

But so far, the other party has not proposed to participate in the design of the aircraft.

"They haven't come yet."

"Any questions?"

Wu Zhe shook his head, "Maybe it's the language barrier."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Ye Lao and others who were fiddling with solar cells not far away, and he knew that they had to maximize their participation.

Otherwise, how can you compete for their money?
"Well, you go find Lao Yang and a few teachers from the Foreign Languages ​​College and try to assign a translator to each of them."

"everyone?"

Wu Zhe was a little surprised.

"Yes, everyone, the money comes from their funds."

Wu Zhe stopped talking.

"I'll go."

After Wu Zhe left, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office and asked someone to find Zhou Shenghong and Chen Gong.

Not long after, the two came to the office.

"Lao Chen, Lao Zhou, how are the things you prepared?"

Yang Xiaotao asked immediately when he saw the two. The two looked at each other, and Chen Gong was the first to speak, "I found a few chefs who are familiar with their habits, and have figured out several dishes."

"it is good."

Yang Xiaotao reminded, "We must take into account the customs of the other party. We must not only consider the other party's taste, but our comrades must also try their best to do the same."

"Especially alcohol, anyone who comes into contact with it must be strictly prohibited."

"clear."

Zhou Sheng Hongye said, "I also found some master craftsmen here to make a lot of furniture according to what you said, and also went to Liulichang to find some tea sets."

"Of course, it must be genuine."

"It's just the price, Chief Yang, how about you give me an estimate?"

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and said, "You ask me, who should I ask? This thing is not worth much now."

“But it’s more expensive to sell it to them.”

The two looked at Yang Xiaotao, and then heard Yang Xiaotao say, "Well, take the current price and add a ten thousand at the end."

Considering that a pig's head will be worth tens of millions in a few decades, I dare not say these things are worth tens of millions, but they will definitely not be cheap.

Selling it to them now can be considered as an appreciation of the collection.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, both of them were startled.

If you buy a Chenghua bowl for a hundred dollars, you can sell it for a million dollars.

This is a ten thousand times profit.

Yang Bu is so cruel.

The two left with smiles on their faces, but Yang Xiaotao in the room was thinking about how to "make money", after all, food and entertainment were just small matters.

If you really want to make big money, you have to start with airplanes.

Wu Zhe acted quickly. The next day, sixteen teachers from the School of Foreign Languages ​​came, led by the director of the school.

Upon hearing that the nine departments needed help, the college leaders held a meeting that evening to discuss the matter. Originally, only thirteen teachers were needed, but in order to show the college's support, they gave two more.

The department head was also sent over to take on a management role.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao could only praise Lao Yang for exceeding the task.

Of course, these people are definitely not doing this for the two-dollar subsidy per day and the free food.

All of this is to promote revolutionary construction and for unity.

After solving the translation problem and arranging living accommodation for the couple, Yang Xiaotao drove out to the hotel where the couple was staying.

Soon, Yang Xiaotao found the manager and met the middle-aged man who was in charge.

This person was a communications staff member left behind by Faisal, not a technical staff member.

But it's more convenient to communicate with this person.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, you can call me Hassan."

The middle-aged man wore a white headscarf, had a kind look, and his small eyes were shrewd.

"Hello, Mr. Hassan, I welcome you on behalf of the factory."

Hassan smiled, "We should be the ones to trouble you."

After a brief exchange between the two, Yang Xiaotao invited Hassan and his group of thirteen people to get in the car.

"Mr. Yang, this armored vehicle of yours is really great."

Sitting in the Kuiniu armored vehicle with the air conditioner on, Hassan was very curious.

In particular, armored vehicles run very steadily and at a fairly fast speed.

You can also see the scene outside through the window.

"This is the Kuiniu armored vehicle that we designed and developed ourselves."

After everyone arrived at the Ninth Division, when Hassan and others got off the car, they still looked at the departing armored vehicle with reluctance.

"Mr. Hassan, let's meet in the conference room."

Yang Xiaotao invited with a smile, and Hassan nodded immediately.

Along the way, I felt the other party's deep respect.

Led by Yang Xiaotao, everyone came to the conference room. As soon as they walked in, they heard warm applause coming from inside.

Then pairs of eyes swept over everyone, making Hassan's steps a little messy.

As for the other people behind him, they looked even more terrified. This was the first time they had encountered such a scene.

Yang Xiaotao came to the podium and everyone stood beside Hassan.

Each person was followed by an interpreter.

"Comrades, let us welcome our friends with warm applause."

Papapa

Wu Zhe, Bian Xiang, Liu Daming, Chen Chonghan and others below were clapping loudly.

Before the meeting, they were notified that they must show enthusiasm and passion.

Anyone who lags behind in this regard will not be let off by the Yang tribe.

"Now, please allow Mr. Hassan to give a speech."

Yang Xiaotao gave a brief introduction and then let Hassan give his speech.

When Hassan heard the translator's explanation, a blush flashed across his face.

Here, he felt very, very respected.

This has never happened in the country.

Excited, Hassan stepped forward to the microphone and said, "Hello, dear Chinese friends."

Papapa

The applause made Hassan even more excited.

"Today we have a learning attitude and hope to be here"

Below, Liu Daming, Hou Baowei and a few others sat together, listening to the translation from above, word by word, with smiles on their faces, chatting in low voices.

"Old Hou, why did Yang Bu want to see you alone?"

Liu Daming asked, and Hou Baowei looked at the people on the stage without changing his expression.

"Hehe, it's a good thing. It's definitely a good thing."

"Nonsense, I know it's a good thing, I'm asking what the good thing is."

Hou Baowei glanced at Yang Xiaotao, who was looking relaxed on the podium, and thought of his instructions to him, and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

When it comes to being evil-minded, Yang Bu is the one to beat.

"That's what you said?"

Seeing that the other party didn't move, Liu Daming hurriedly urged him.

Hou Baowei shook his head, "No, Yang Bu said that the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Hearing this, Liu Daming didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The meeting lasted for half the morning. At lunch, Yang Xiaotao asked Chen Gong to join him. The table was filled with delicious food, which was no worse than what they had eaten in the hotel.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao began to arrange people to enter the workshop to study, and basically one person was assigned to each important position.

Hassan was very satisfied with this.

They came here to learn this time. We don't expect these people to be able to manufacture airplanes when they return, but at least they have to understand and learn how to manufacture airplanes, so that they can develop and manufacture them on their own later.

After everything was arranged, the manufacturing plan of Desert Eagle officially began.

A week later.

Engine manufacturing workshop.

Hou Baowei was operating a machine tool to manufacture a special engine for the Desert Eagle. A young man of a different race wearing a turban but a Unit 9 uniform was watching him intently.

There was a female translator beside him.

During this week, the young man was arranged to learn engine manufacturing from Hou Baowei.

The two of them were familiar with each other, and Hou Baowei was a cheerful person, so he would chat about topics other than work from time to time, which aroused the young man's interest.

"Uraka, what did you eat this morning?"

Hou Baowei was chatting while working.

Uraka was the young man's name. He smiled and said, "Noodles with soybean paste are delicious."

"Hey, this is delicious. Let me tell you, this noodles with soybean paste is just the basics. There is also..."

Once the topic was brought up, the two of them started chatting enthusiastically.

Near noon, the engine's combustion chamber was finally completed.

Hou Baowei walked aside and sat down.

"Master Hou, can you make one in three days?"

Uraka asked, handing over the kettle.

Hou Baowei hummed, "This is already considered fast. You have to know that the requirements here are very high, especially the accuracy."

"I'm an eighth-level master. If it were someone else, it would be amazing if they could make one in a week."

When introducing the eighth-level master, even the translator showed a touch of admiration.

These days, Ulaka has also understood the difference between one and eight, so he naturally admires Master Hou in front of him.

"Alas, I'm old. If it were made of titanium alloy, it might take eight months, not to mention a week."

"Titanium?"

Ulaka was stunned, and Hou Baowei quickly changed his words as if he had said something wrong.

But this unintentional remark aroused Uraka's curiosity.

Despite repeated questioning, Hou Baowei just wouldn't say anything, so there was nothing he could do but keep it to himself.

During lunch, Uraka told Hassan about the situation.

So in the afternoon, Hassan appeared in Yang Xiaotao's office.

"Mr. Yang Xiaotao, I want to know why we use steel to make engines. Why not use better materials?"

"Mr. Yang Xiaotao, is this how you cooperate?"

"Is this how you treat your friends?"
