Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2519 New Year's Day Conference
The two talked for a while. At this time, Lou Xiao'e and the other person returned to the office. Seeing that the two were talking, they did not dare to disturb them. They sat aside and listened to them talking about the secret book.

There's no way, Persian is too difficult to learn, and they can only understand a few fluent words.

"Such a great engine, brother, have you made the gearbox yet?"

"This won't fit with a normal gearbox. How about asking my dad to help me get a few cars so we can disassemble them and study them?"

Alfate looked excited.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless and comforted himself in his heart that the child did not mean it and was definitely not showing off his wealth.

Cough
"That's not necessary. I'm almost done with the gearbox."

"Besides, the gearboxes of other cars may not be suitable for ours. If we want to fully utilize the advantages of this engine, we still need to use a specially designed one."

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Alfat also felt that it made sense.

"Brother Yang is right, the matching ones are the best."

"Now we have the engine and the gearbox, let's decide on the model, add the hydraulic control system, and yes, air conditioning..."

Alfate spoke to himself, his eyes full of eagerness.

"In this case!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly spoke with a serious expression, and Alfat also closed his mouth with a serious look.

"I want to set up an automobile research team. You happen to be an intern, so I want you to be a technician and participate in it."

"How about it? Can we do it?"

Alfate clenched his fists, his face excited.

According to their customs, there is no need to hide what you want to do, and as long as you want to do it, you won't be polite.

"Brother Yang, I can!"

Alfat said forcefully, Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction, then walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Do a good job, and when the time comes, give the first car you make to your father."

"Yes, I, I know!"

Alfat felt his eyes a little moist, but his heart became more determined.

I must make this car and give my father a surprise.

As night falls, everyone finishes their day's work and prepares to go home and rest.

In the research institute, Yang Xiaotao, Liu Daming, Hou Baowei and others finished their meeting and were preparing to leave.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to leave, Hou Baowei suddenly came up to him and asked mysteriously, "Director Yang, do I have a secret mission this time?"

"Secret mission?"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned. How come he didn’t know about this task?

Seeing Yang Xiaotao not saying anything, Hou Baowei immediately explained, "Didn't you cooperate last time? Well, it was one hundred million!"

"Don't worry, I've been thinking about it since last time. Some things are still not comprehensive and too deliberate. This time..."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Without waiting for the guard to finish speaking, Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant.

This old guy is addicted to fooling people. I thought it was the same as last time.

This guy.

"Old Hou, this time is different from last time, please don't do anything naughty!"

"Ah? Different?"

Hou Baowei also noticed the difference in Yang Xiaotao's face, and his heart skipped a beat. Then he realized, "Oh, I was overthinking it, overthinking it!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "You did a great job last time, do a good job this time too, and I will give you an award at the end of the year!"

"understand."

As he saw Yang Xiaotao leaving, Hou Baowei smiled and then patted his face with his hand.

"Haha, Hou Liangdao, ah Hou Liangdao, you are so embarrassed this time!"

Liu Daming laughed at the side. This guy cooperated in acting out a play last time and really thought he was an actor.

"Go away, go away. I just don't understand and I'm asking questions."

"Besides, didn't you hear from Director Yang that I will be given an award this time? You guys are just envious."

"Tsk, my second-class merit is posted on the wall!"

Liu Daming said this proudly, and Hou Baowei almost couldn't breathe.

"Hmph, wait, I can also get a second-class merit!"

The two men walked out arguing, while the people in the Mechanical R&D Department behind them had a headache.

"Brother Li, what is this? Is that foreigner reliable?"

A newly graduated college student asked the old man in the R&D department.

Brother Li shook his head, "I don't know."

"But there must be a reason for Yang's arrangement. We just need to cooperate well."

"Yeah, that's right!"

The group left the meeting room and Yang Xiaotao was about to go home after get off work. As soon as he walked out of the office building, he saw Liu Huaimin waiting for him.

It looked like something was wrong.

"Old Liu!"

"Xiao Yang, I heard you arranged a job for that kid?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, there was news from the Internal Affairs Department, asking him to behave himself and stop asking for information all day long!"

After hearing this, Liu Huaimin thought to himself, as expected, that kid has been wandering around the Nine Departments during this period of time, and has seen everything he should and shouldn't know. Who knows what he has remembered?
If it weren't for the cooperative relationship between the two parties, he would have spoken up long ago.

But for this project, he had to ask clearly whether he was really doing research to deal with that guy, or whether he really wanted to build a car factory.

"It's fine to find a job, but I heard you want to work on cars?"

“Yes, it’s this project!”

"You want to get a car?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately, but Liu Huaimin frowned, "But right now, we already have many automobile factories in our country, and you know the situation in our country, there is no such a big plate, and the superiors will not give us the task."

At this point, Liu Huaimin became even more worried, "I'm worried that even if we make it, it will be useless and our efforts will be in vain!"

Yang Xiaotao understood what Liu Huaimin meant, but he also had his own plans, so he said, "Don't worry, I understand this!"

Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously, and after making sure that he was not just trying to fool him, he nodded and said, "By the way, Mr. Chen called me this afternoon and told me that there will be a meeting on New Year's Day and you have to attend."

"For details, you can ask Mr. Chen!"

"New Year's Day meeting? What's going on?"

Yang Xiaotao really didn't know, so Liu Huaimin explained, "The superiors wanted the heads of each department and the local heads to come together for a meeting to talk about the achievements of the past year and the plans for the next year."

"Then we can just keep in touch with each other and help each other out!"

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Yang Xiaotao understood clearly and then asked, "How many of our nine departments will go?"

Liu Huaimin raised a finger.

Yang Xiaotao raised his eyebrows, "Just me?"

"Yes, for this kind of meeting, each department only has one seat."

Yang Xiaotao scratched his head and said, "Well, how about you go with Lao Li?"

"Come on, it's up to you to decide who goes."

Liu Huaimin took one look at Yang Xiaotao and knew that this guy was extremely lazy.

How can you not want to attend such an important meeting?
After saying that, he turned and left. He still had to make a phone call to his superiors.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao opened the car door and got in, feeling speechless.

Another meeting, another whole day. Why not do something else with this time?
At least finish processing the files!

On the other end, Liu Huaimin returned to the office, picked up the phone and made a call.

"Commander, I asked, it should be to appease the other party."

Liu Huaimin spoke seriously, and Mr. Chen on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine. Just keep an eye on them. These young people are more troublesome than the last."

"Okay, got it."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Chen finally let go of the worry he had been feeling.

This afternoon, I heard Liu Huaimin's report that Yang Xiaotao was going to take over the automotive research department, and I was shocked.

What the country needs nowadays are trucks and cars for transportation.

Who are cars produced for?

Who can use it?
Of course, he also thought about cooperating with Persia, but the project involved in that cooperation was the Yellow River heavy truck!
Now that I hear Liu Huaimin say this, there’s nothing to worry about!

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Chen was in a rare good mood and got up and left.

The New Year’s Day meeting is coming soon. This year’s harvest has been fruitful!

I have to prepare well to say a few words at the meeting, and of course, I also have to cheer up the comrades below and create greater success in the coming year.

As time went by, the ninth department's automobile research team officially started work.

Yang Xiaotao found two houses in the research institute and arranged the staff.

Alfat also became a technician in the team, and Yang Xiaotao specially assigned an interpreter to help the two sides communicate.

Of course, the main task of the research team now is to familiarize themselves with the design drawings.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao did not show all the design drawings, but only told them the design requirements and ideas. They had to design the subsequent models themselves. It was with this job that Alfat's study abroad life became more fulfilling.

Almost every time after class, I would come to Jiubu to participate in the work.

The contact during these days also made Liu Daming, Hou Baowei and others realize that this foreign guy is quite good.

Alfat also has great respect for people like Liu Daming.

Especially when I knew their identities, eighth-level fitters, there was even a bit of admiration in my eyes.

Because his classmates at school told him that level eight is the best and their hands are more precise than machines.

At the same time, Alfat was even more grateful to Yang Xiaotao for transferring such a capable person to help.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao didn't know about Alfat's gratitude, because he was very busy during this period and even saw Alfat less often.

After the meeting was over, Yang Xiaotao realized that 1968 had already passed.

The brand new year of 1969 is slowly approaching.

The whole country celebrates New Year's Day.

Yang Xiaotao got up early in the morning, and after tidying himself up, he prepared to go out.

"Shoes, shoes."

Just as he was about to leave, Ran Qiuye's voice sounded behind him. Yang Xiaotao turned around and saw Ran Qiuye walking towards him with a pair of leather shoes.

"No need, just wear these."

Yang Xiaotao showed off his shoes and felt that he was used to wearing these shoes and they were comfortable.

"No, I'm going to a meeting, so I have to dress formally."

Ran Qiuye squatted down as he spoke.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to take off his shoes and put on a pair of new leather shoes that were a bit stiff.

"All right!"

Watching Yang Xiaotao change his shoes, Ran Qiuye stood aside and watched him, with satisfaction in her eyes.

He was wearing a straight Zhongshan suit with a badge on his chest, and looked more energetic than most people.

Thinking of the meeting I was going to attend today, the satisfaction in my eyes turned into pride.

She heard about this meeting from the Taoist priest, but not everyone can attend.

Not to mention this courtyard, in the entire alley, in the entire city, is there anyone so young who has such ability?
No.

It’s my own man, the only one of his kind.

Such an outstanding man is her support and her happiness.

"gone."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late.

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, "Will you come back for lunch?"

"I don't think he'll be back. He's probably eating in the banquet hall."

After Yang Xiaotao said this, all the children in the room lay down at the door and watched. Seeing their father dressed formally, they were all filled with curiosity.

Yang Xiaotao waved at the little ones and said, "Listen to your mother at home."

After saying this, he kissed Ran Qiuye on the face while she wasn't paying attention and then picked up his bag and went out.

Ran Qiuye blushed, especially because she felt embarrassed to be so intimate in front of the children.

Sure enough, Duanwu made a cooing sound in the room, and Miaomiao covered her face. Normally, when playing in the yard, boys and girls had to play separately, and they were not even allowed to hold hands.

They just came back from school on New Year's Day, otherwise they would still be in class at school.

"Duanwu, I have to check Du Mu's "Mountain Travel" this morning. If I don't do well in the final exam, hum."

Ran Qiuye's face turned red but she put her hands on her waist and said something that made Duanwu feel upset.

"Mom, I haven't eaten yet."

“If you can’t write it down from memory, save it.”

Hearing Duanwu's wailing faintly from behind, Yang Xiaotao smiled and walked out of the yard.

"Xiao Tao, you look energetic today."

"Xiao Tao, you are here to attend the meeting, right? Well done, you have brought honor to our hospital."

"That brings honor to our alley."

The elderly people in the courtyard saw Yang Xiaotao coming out and greeted him. Now, only they dared to call Yang Xiaotao Xiaotao when talking to him.

As for the others, no one dared to call them by their names.

"Uncle Li"

"Grandma Wang, I'll go right away."

Yang Xiaotao greeted and walked through the entrance of the alley, then he saw red flags on both sides. The fiery red color made the sky bright.

Celebratory slogans are painted on the wall, and the jumping words tell the spirit of the times.

"Yang Department!"

Wang Hao and his men were waiting in front of the car. Today they had changed into neat clothes, with excitement and joy mixed on their faces.

The Ninth Ministry of Machine Building was established too late, and this year's New Year's Day meeting was the first time that the Ninth Ministry participated.

Therefore, all nine departments attached great importance to it, and he was also proud of it.

But looking at Yang Bu's appearance, it seems that there are some...
Not willingly.

But I dare not talk about this casually because I still want to keep my job.

"Long live."

"Long Live the Great Motherland"

There were uniform shouts coming from a distance. Yang Xiaotao stood beside the car and watched a group of people walking by.

Among them are workers, students, ordinary housewives and playful children.

They held up banners, lined up in neat rows, and shouted loudly as they walked.

There was no one organizing or taking the lead. We just kept walking along the road, as if we had endless energy and strength to shout.

The fiery sound melts the entire cold winter.

Get in the car and drive slowly forward.

His eyes swept across the passing team, and many people looked over with innocent smiles on their faces.

"Commander Yang, Captain Liang said that Secretary Li and Secretary Liu are waiting at the headquarters. If you are done, you should go back."

Wang Hao was driving and talking at the same time. Yang Xiaotao asked curiously, "Why are you going back?"

"I don't know about that."

Wang Hao shook his head, but Yang Xiaotao knew in his heart that he most likely wanted to know the dynamics of the higher-ups.

Even he couldn't sit still about this kind of thing.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything and closed his eyes to rest.

At around 8:30 in the morning, the car stopped in front of the Great Hall and Yang Xiaotao slowly got out.

"Military Yang, we'll be waiting for you over there."

"Okay, buy something to eat at noon."

"understand!"

After a brief talk, Yang Xiaotao went up the stairs carrying his handbag.

"Xiao Yang!"

After walking a few steps, Yang Xiaotao stopped when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Mr. Qin."

Old Qin got out of the car and took three or two steps forward. The secretary behind him quickly handed him the briefcase that had been left in the car. Old Qin turned around and took it before coming to Yang Xiaotao.

Last time, they cooperated again because of the tank issue.

Nowadays, the production of Type 91 is not only accounted for by the Ninth Ministry, but also by their Logistics Department and the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

Not to mention anything else, just this piece of fat is enough to make their mouths drool.

Now that they met Yang Xiaotao, who was leading them to make money together, they naturally became enthusiastic.

"You came quite early."

Yang Xiaotao looked around and said, "It's okay. It's almost nine o'clock."

The two walked forward, and Mr. Qin said, "This is your first time attending a meeting like this, right? Are you nervous?"

Yang Xiaotao shrugged, "It's okay. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but when I really have to sit down, it's just like that."

"You, this mentality is good."

"What's the big deal? I don't have to go on stage. I can just sit there and listen."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and Old Qin nodded. They really had no right to speak in this meeting.

However, being able to sit in the front row on this occasion means being under a lot of scrutiny, and I don’t know how many people are watching from behind.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to some people later. There are many people from all over the country coming here this time, so it would be helpful to get to know a few of them."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then the two of them walked up the stairs and headed towards the main entrance of the hall together.

The guards on both sides immediately saluted solemnly when they saw the two men, and followed their footsteps until they disappeared into the hall.
