Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2450: Lao Jiu, the leader

Department 9, Yang Xiaotao’s office.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was sitting cross-legged and holding the phone with a confident smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Wang was talking about the benefits of cooperation. Of course, he was speaking in an exceptionally gentle voice, which made Yang Xiaotao not angry at all. He could only nod in agreement and smile.

But Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised.

Because he didn't expect that the first person who called him was Mr. Wang from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

When Yang Xiaotao learned that his superiors had really given 120 million yuan, he knew that this drama would happen.

With so much money, how come no one cares about it?
You know, it is very difficult to get payment from superiors these days.

The money given by superiors is basically the workers' wages, and some rewards for completing tasks.

In other words, the factory can add up the number of workers and the level of their employees, and then use this to withdraw the money and industrial coupons from their superiors, and then distribute them to the workers.

Under normal procedures, there would be basically no money left.

Whatever is left is the reward.

And this kind of reward also needs to be awarded to workers, such as advanced individuals, advanced collectives, skill groups, etc.

This is the norm in all factories.

This is also the reason why workers call it an iron rice bowl.

After all, as long as you are a worker and your job level is determined, your monthly salary is fixed.

Unless the factory engages in "side business", but this also requires permission from superiors.

Only in this way can we provide benefits to workers just like we did in the old machinery factory.

Otherwise, we can only make some changes to the products, produce some "defective products", and conduct friendly exchanges with other factories.

It can be said that without other income, the factory would not have much money.

This is true for the factory, and also for the various departments that are superior to the factory.

Therefore, when Yang Xiaotao received so much money, he knew that someone would come to take advantage of him.

However, I originally thought that the first person to call would be Old Qin, after all, Old Qin also sent people to help. But I didn’t expect that Old Wang would get there first. His sensitivity is much better than Old Qin’s.

As expected, the superiors had a keen eye in choosing Mr. Wang to be the head of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

"Xiao Tao, I'm not crying poor, nor am I trying to take advantage of you. It's just a matter of unity and weakness."

"Look, you have many outstanding talents and many good projects in the Ninth Department."

"We also have many outstanding talents in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and our projects overlap with yours."

"If we can unite our forces, if we unite our forces, who can stop us?"

On the other end, Old Wang was speaking passionately, like a great general encouraging his men.

Yang Xiaotao continued to respond with a hmm.

He understands the principle that unity makes us strong, while division makes us weak.

Cooperation is not impossible.

But the method of cooperation still needs to be made clear.

He didn't want to hand over the scene he had created with great difficulty to an outsider.

Even though he was an expert, Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to trust someone easily unless he was sure about the person.

Just like the computers we heard about in our previous life, there was obviously an opportunity to complete a Chinese operating system, but why was it stopped by our own people?

When he was studying computers at school, he was wondering why he had to use English letters to program?

It is obviously easier to understand in Chinese, but now, I can’t understand nine out of ten things and still can’t understand one thing.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to study computers in this life, you must follow your own ideas.

No matter who the experts or scholars are, no matter how well they shout or how nicely they speak, it is useless.

Just do it first.

If it is finally proven that the 'Chinese operating system' does not work, then it has been done and has been proven in practice, which can make people give up.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a group of people to change Yang Xiaotao's determination.

"Uncle Wang, this matter."

puff

Yang Xiaotao was about to speak when there were two knocks on the door. Before Lou Xiaoe could get up, he saw the door was pushed open, and then Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building walked in from outside.

"Xiao Yang, let's celebrate your prosperity."

When Mr. Qin's voice came, Yang Xiaotao almost dropped the phone in his hand.

At this moment, Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone suddenly changed his expression and jumped up from his seat. "This is bad, this is bad. These old idiots are taking shortcuts. They have no moral principles. This is no moral principles."

patter
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Wang didn't think too much and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Old Qian, come out quickly."

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone when he heard the dead tone. He thought that Mr. Wang must have heard the voice here and might be on the way.

Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone and stood up quickly.

Mr. Qin and the other two looked at the piles of design drawings around the desk without moving forward.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Qian, why are the three of you here together?"

Yang Xiaotao walked up to the three people and said with a smile, "It's a bit messy here, let's go to the conference room to talk."

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "We just came together without any prior agreement."

Old Qin also explained, "We didn't communicate with each other, but we ended up getting together."

As they were talking, Yang Xiaotao brought three people to the conference room. Li Hongfeng and Lao Hong behind him also rushed over after hearing the news.

When the two heard that three people were coming, they immediately knew their motives. They came here because they were afraid that Yang Xiaotao was alone and weak, so they hurried over to help.

Originally Liu Huaimin was going to come over too, but there were only three people on the other side, so he had to be equal.

So he pulled Lao Hong over and waited outside to prevent more people from coming later.

Six people sat down in the conference room, Yang Xiaotao sat in the middle, Li Hongfeng on the left, and Lao Hong on the right.

Opposite, Mr. Qin is in the middle, with Mr. Zhang on the left and Mr. Qian on the right.

The six people got along well with each other, and Liu Lixue personally made tea and served it to them.

Several people knew Liu Lixue's identity and were very polite in serving her tea and water.

"I hadn't put down the phone just now, and Mr. Wang was talking over there, but when you three arrived, the conversation went silent."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then brought up the story of Mr. Wang as his opening remarks.

When Old Qin heard this, he exchanged glances with Old Zhang and spoke first, "Old Wang is not slow to act. He called as soon as he got some news."

"What did you say?"

Old Qin looked at Yang Xiaotao. Since Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to talk about this, he must want to say something.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, that's a lot of analysis, what talents, what projects."

"By the way, they are also researching integrated circuits and have even made high-purity silicon. They must cooperate with us on this. As the saying goes, unity makes strength, while division makes weakness."

"You tell me about this, we don't know what to say."

As he spoke, he looked at Lao Hong who was standing beside him. The latter laughed and said, "We can cooperate. We just need a lot of solar panels. It's just right for us to use them."

Li Hongfeng also echoed, "Yes, there are still many talented people in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building. I heard from Vice President Han that they have made in-depth research on radar guidance."

"It just so happens that our radar project is being followed up, so we can cooperate."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, I thought so too, but before I could agree, Mr. Wang hung up the phone."

"It's okay. Lao Wang is probably on his way."

Seeing that the three people were talking like a crosstalk, Mr. Qin directly said, "Let's wait for him first."

Mr. Zhang nodded silently, but Mr. Qian on the side looked a little embarrassed. He was really not used to this kind of situation.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao and the other two smiled, invited the three to drink tea and chat casually.

"Mr. Qin, I heard from the higher-ups that they want to organize workers to participate in the Olympics. How have you arranged it?"

Yang Xiaotao changed the subject, and Old Qin put down his cup and smiled, "Speaking of the Olympics, this is a big event for our country." "I heard that this time it was recommended by the alliance, and other member countries and some brother countries helped to directly take down the Dayuan side. It is said that because of this incident, the representatives of Dayuan even cried to the people of the United States."

At this point, Mr. Qin immediately laughed, and his laughter was very hearty.

Several people also knew that Old Qin, the chief logistics officer, always knew some inside information, so they all pricked up their ears to listen. Even Liu Lixue, who was serving tea and water at the side, became curious.

Seeing that several people were looking over, Old Qin did not keep the suspense and told them what he knew.

Originally, those who participated in the Olympics were high-ranking officials, which means that they were participating in the Olympics under the name of the country.

Because of this, there have been many protests in the country, but they are meaningless due to the obstruction of the United States.

But this time, it might be the appearance of Baiju that turned the passive situation into active one, and the success of the resistance plan further stimulated the other party to make a choice.

So, Dayuan became the abandoned mistress.

It also gives the country an opportunity to showcase its talents on the Olympic stage.

"The superiors attach great importance to this Olympic Games."

"Through this global movement, we can show our country's new outlook and national spirit."

"So, we have to treat this as an important matter. If we do it well, there will be rewards from above."

Old Qin said, and then he boasted, "We have a sports meeting in the logistics department. The athletes are all selected from the military. This time there are requirements from above, and this time it is just what we want."

Mr. Zhang also nodded and said, "The superiors mean to encourage the people of the whole country to develop sports, get moving, and make the people have a strong body."

"It's just that we have to take one step at a time, and the workers should take the lead first."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "We can't notify them, but we plan to hold a sports meeting to see if there are any capable people among them."

"That's a good idea. We can select candidates from among ourselves first, and then hand it over to the state."

Elder Zhang nodded, "We will do it later and let the people below recommend them. We can compare and choose the best ones."

Lao Hong had spent some time in the northwest with Mr. He and had some understanding of the development of domestic sports. He did not look too excited, but just reminded slightly, "Our sports meeting standards are still very different from those internationally."

"Especially the competition rules. It's best to understand them in advance to avoid making a fool of yourself."

Yang Xiaotao also reminded, "You're right. I think this Olympics came a little too suddenly. Some events require years of preparation and competition in advance. It's a bit strange that they participated directly this time."

After hearing what the two said, Zhang and the other two became alert, and then they all raised the selection criteria for athletes.

Several people were chatting in the conference room when a car quickly stopped outside. Then Mr. Wang trotted to the office building. Liu Huaimin, who had been notified early, ran into him and went straight to the conference room without saying much.

But as soon as Mr. Wang came over, Mr. Qin stood up and said to Yang Xiaotao, "That's it, our cooperation is complete."

Old Wang stood at the door, looking stunned.

What does this mean? It's late?

"Lao Wang, you're a little slow. From now on, don't call me if you have any questions. Just come directly."

"Look, we've already discussed it. You should just go back."

As he spoke, Old Qin came up to Old Wang, patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed.

Old Wang opened his mouth and wished he could slap himself. If he had known what phone call he was making, he would have just come directly.

"Old Qin, you are not authentic."

Seeing Qin Lao's gloating expression, Wang Lao felt wronged and asked, "What did you say?"

"It's not easy for me to get here, you have to let me know what's going on."

"By the way, Xiao Yang"

Only then did Mr. Wang react and look at Yang Xiaotao, and then he felt something was wrong.

In the room, except for Old Qin who stood up, no one else moved.

In an instant, Wang Lao felt relieved.

"Lao Qin, you bastard, you are bullying me, right?"

Seeing that Mr. Wang had seen through him, Mr. Qin smiled and sat back in his seat. “Who told you to be so clever and call in advance? You are capable.”

Wang Lao didn't care that his thoughts were exposed. He walked over to sit next to Qian Lao, then picked up a cigarette from the table and lit it. "No matter how capable I am, I am still behind you three."

"You guys are awesome. You've agreed to come together, right? Get us out, right?"

"I treat you guys as brothers."

snort!
As soon as Wang Lao finished speaking, Qin Lao exclaimed in amazement, "You are so good at turning the tables."

Zhang Lao waved his hand, "Okay, I guess no one will come anymore, let's get started quickly."

As they spoke, everyone looked at the four people opposite them with serious expressions.

Of course, the one who can make the final decision is Yang Xiaotao.

Old Qin spoke first, "Everyone, our purpose for coming here this time is very clear, just like what Old Wang said on the phone, together we are strong, apart we are weak."

“We couldn’t cooperate before, but now that you nine departments have this foundation, there is a basis for cooperation.”

“That’s what we’re here for.”

After Mr. Qin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao expressed his opinion on behalf of the nine departments, "Cooperation is the mainstream and is necessary."

“There is no problem with this.”

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, the four Qin brothers immediately felt relieved. What they feared most was that the Nine Departments would close the door and not let them play.

“But cooperation requires a charter.”

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the four people on the opposite side looked at each other. Finally, it was Elder Wang who spoke first, "We want to cooperate in the research of integrated circuits, that is, semiconductors."

"This is what our old Qian discussed."

I deliberately added this sentence at the end to tell Yang Xiaotao that you have to listen to what your teacher says.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Mr. Wang, nodded, and then looked at Mr. Qian.

Mr. Qian was not good at speaking, and he came here to ask for help. He was a little unconfident, but he still said, "We need cooperation in our nuclear power plant research."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Once the nuclear power plant was built, it would also be beneficial to their nine departments.

Then it was Mr. Qin who said, "We want to do something with tanks!"

Without saying much, Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.

The main battle tank at the Ordnance Research Institute is also underway and has now reached a critical juncture. If the Logistics Department gets involved, progress can be accelerated.

Finally, Mr. Zhang said, "We want to do some research on aviation engines."

Yang Xiaotao also nodded.

As for aviation engines, he also has the F15 engine, which is a turbofan engine, different from the current ones.

If Baiju is equipped with a new engine, I believe the performance can be improved.

After the four of them finished speaking, the place fell silent.

Liu Huaimin and Li Hongfeng both looked at the two people beside them. Old Hong frowned. They all talked about cooperation, but except for the cooperation with the Second Ministry of Machine Building, they could participate, and they were already doing the other three.

However, the decision on this matter still lies with Yang Xiaotao.

Everyone focused their attention on Yang Xiaotao, who tapped his fingers a few times and then nodded, "Okay."

After saying these two words, Yang Xiaotao's face turned serious. "We can cooperate in these areas, but I need a few assurances that the research results must be shared."

"For example, when we want to build a nuclear power plant, you, Mr. Qian, need to support us."

Mr. Qian immediately agreed, "That's no problem."

It is originally a process of accumulating experience. Doing it one more time means one more practice. Why not do it?
Yang Xiaotao looked at the other three people again, "Also, we must be united in cooperation. We cannot be petty when we need to use people."

Mr. Wang had no objection to this, and Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhang had even less objection.

Their idea was that the nine ministries would provide the money and they would provide the manpower.

It just seems that the initiative of the cooperation lies in the hands of the Nine Departments.

However, they all understood that in this kind of situation, the rich are the boss.

It's not impossible to let Jiubu be the leader.
