Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2552 Let the Days Write a Guarantee
Yang Xiaotao returned home and told his grandfather about the situation. He decided to celebrate the New Year with the Ran family that night, and then drove to Jiubu.

What Mr. Ran said might not be the whole story, so Yang Xiaotao decided to ask for clarification.

After all, this matter is related to daily life.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the Ninth Department, I met Liang Zuoxin who was inspecting the factory, and only then did I know what happened this morning.

Thinking of the three-party investigation team mentioned by Ran's father, Yang Xiaotao guessed that this matter was not small.

Besides, even President Lian Peng went there this time.

As for the satellite phone, Yang Xiaotao did not ask much. He just said a few words to Liang Zuoxin and went to the office.

After thinking for a while, I picked up the phone and called Qian Lao.

"Teacher, this is Xiao Tao!"

"I guess you're at work, so you're calling!"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and on the other side, Mr. Qian smiled at Mr. Wang, who quickly waved his hands to signal not to say he was there.

"Xiao Tao, how come you have time to call?"

"It's Chinese New Year now, I wish you a happy new year!"

"Well, I'm praying early this year!"

“That’s all the students’ filial piety!”

The two were being polite on the phone, and Old Wang on the side curled his lips. This guy's filial piety is all in his mouth. There are so many New Year's goods in Jiude, but he hasn't sent anything over.

"Okay, New Year's greetings are over. If you have anything to say, tell me now. I'm busy here."

Mr. Qian put down his pen and smiled, and Yang Xiaotao quickly said, "Teacher, there is something going on!"

"Um, my father-in-law..."

Yang Xiaotao quickly explained the situation. Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian did not hide anything and told him the news he had heard from Mr. Wang.

"So, Xiao Ri is really working on rockets?"

"Well, they must have been stimulated by us. They also want to use rockets to launch satellites."

Hearing what Mr. Qian said, Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed. If he remembered correctly in his previous life, the other party also developed a satellite, and it was two months earlier than Dongfanghong.

It is hard to say that the vanity of daily life is not at work here.

What's more, what we fly up in our daily life is called a satellite, not much bigger than a basketball.

Yang Xiaotao gave a disdainful smile.

At least this time, the good life did not come to the fore.

"But I looked at the photos taken at the location, their satellite should not be very large, probably to complete the mission..."

"This explosion was not caused by us. As to whether it was intentionally destroyed by the other party, we still need to investigate!"

Mr. Qian expressed his own judgment, which was basically the same as Yang Xiaotao's guess.

"So that's how it is. Then what's the purpose of the investigation team going there this time?"

"The purpose is to check the situation of the opponent's rockets, there is no other purpose!"

Mr. Qian didn't want to say more, and Yang Xiaotao also knew that some things were just better known to oneself, there was no point in speaking them out!

"You didn't say when it would end?"

Yang Xiaotao asked again, and Qian smiled, "Who knows, maybe it will be over soon, or maybe it will take a month or two to get the result."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that it will be dragged on until nothing is done."

Mr. Qian didn't say much, and then asked about the satellite phone. Yang Xiaotao said it was still being manufactured.

The two chatted for a while about the improvement direction of satellite phones before hanging up.

Mr. Wang on the side laughed and said, "See, I knew this guy would call me."

As he sat aside, he smiled at Qian Lao and said, "This matter is not simple. I heard that Xiao Ri put forward a few scapegoats, and then said that he would destroy himself voluntarily to win the sympathy of the United States and the Alliance."

"Who are you trying to fool? It's not like I don't know their bad roots."

Old Wang smacked his lips and said this with disdain.

Anyone who believes in these nonsense about daily life is a fool.

"Okay, you, you sent the father-in-law away on New Year's Day, aren't you afraid that he will come after you?"

Old Qian joked that when they first received the task, they had many candidates, but Old Wang chose Ran's father.

"Settling accounts?"

"Humph, I haven't settled the score with him yet, otherwise he would call you instead of me!"

What Mr. Wang said was very clear. If Mr. Qian was not familiar with him, he would have believed it!

"Okay, stop pretending in front of me. Tell me what you want to do. I'm going home for the New Year!"

When Mr. Qian was clearing the table, Mr. Wang immediately laughed, took two steps forward, and said, "I just want to add a new project."

"Look at how many projects and businesses the Ninth Ministry has expanded over the years. Our Seventh Ministry of Machine Building cannot fall behind."

Mr. Wang began to count the new industries that emerged after the establishment of the Ninth Ministry by holding his fingers, and Mr. Qian felt very proud listening to him.

After all, this is a good thing to add bricks and tiles to the revolution.

"Adding more projects? That's a good thing."

"What do you want to do?"

Mr. Qian was a little confused, and Mr. Wang whispered, "Old Qian, you can see that after the Dongfanghong was launched, the investment in satellites has been much less."

"This time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Shijian-1 was able to fly up, thanks to the five million yuan given by the Ninth Ministry. Otherwise, we would have to wait until next year."

"If we don't have satellites, there's no point in researching rockets."

Mr. Wang spoke his true feelings, and Mr. Qian frowned and sat on the chair, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The East is Red has been launched, but its practical significance is far less than its symbolic significance.

At least in his opinion, this is the case at this stage.

Not only the Dongfanghong, but also the previously launched Shijian-1, whose main purpose is also scientific exploration to fill the gaps for subsequent experiments.

At this critical period of national development, especially when many places are unable to get enough food, who would be willing to devote so much material resources to support scientific exploration?
What’s the use of detection?

If Ministry 9 had not suddenly developed a satellite phone, making some people above aware of the usefulness of satellites, the road ahead would probably have been even more difficult.

After a moment's silence, Mr. Qian looked at Mr. Wang again, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Mr. Wang did not hide it and asked, "Have you heard any news from the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"

Mr. Qian paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Are you talking about satellite communications?"

Old Wang nodded. "Yes. Last time, Old Qu, Old Yu and the others went directly to the Ninth Department for the satellite phone communication issue."

"I heard that they transferred a lot of people to the Ninth Department. They are all college students. The Ninth Department made a lot of money this time."

Mr. Wang looked envious, and then he said mysteriously, "And I have a rumor that the ship went out to sea this time to test this kind of satellite communication."

"I heard the results are pretty good. They are ready to propose to their superiors to research communication satellites. I guess this matter will either be handled by the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Ninth Ministry."

"But I heard that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not making very smooth progress, while the Nine Departments are not very active and I can't see what's going on."

When Elder Wang said this, Elder Qian also knew the inside story, so he started to explain, "Satellite communication is indeed a good thing, but relying on only one satellite has some limitations. If you want to optimize it, I estimate that at least three satellites are needed, and they must be professional communication satellites!"

"Moreover, the requirements for this type of satellite will consume several times, or even dozens of times, more resources than the current 'Practice No. 1'."

"Do you think the Chinese Academy of Sciences has this ability?"

After hearing Mr. Qian's analysis, Mr. Wang's excitement faded by half. "Is one satellite so expensive? And at least three?"

So Mr. Qian drew something on paper and explained it briefly. Mr. Wang immediately understood, "I was wondering why the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not doing well. This satellite cost a lot of money. If there are three or five satellites, they still need to be maintained. Who can afford it?"

Mr. Qian did not point out the problems in Mr. Wang's words. It was useless to tell him the professional knowledge.

He just asked, "What does this have to do with you sending Lao Ran?"

Mr. Wang sat back in his seat, then said helplessly, "I was thinking that if the Chinese Academy of Sciences didn't do it, maybe the Ninth Ministry could do it, or maybe the two of them could work together."

"After all, they are the only two people in the country who have the technology, and it's not that guy's style to give up on a satellite phone."

As soon as Mr. Qian heard it, he understood it and immediately continued, "So you should let Old Ran take the lead."

Mr. Wang smiled and then defended himself, "I value talent!"

"He has the qualifications and achievements when he comes back this time. It should be OK for him to lead a team to launch a satellite." "Besides, didn't you also say that it would be better for satellites to provide guidance for missiles?"

"Old Qian, I am dedicated to the public good!"

After hearing this, Mr. Qian stood up and walked out, "Just assume that I believe it!"

Old Wang turned his face away and said, "What do you mean you believe it? It's just like that..."

"Hey, wait a minute, you haven't got the New Year's goods yet..."

Seeing Mr. Qian turning around, picking up the New Year's goods and walking out, Mr. Wang smiled in his heart.

This time, even if I can’t eat meat with Jiubu, I won’t go hungry.

Nine.

Yang Xiaotao frowned after hanging up the phone.

The most feared thing about this matter is procrastination, as accidents are likely to occur over time.

Yang Xiaotao is still deeply impressed by Xiao Rizi’s public relations ability.

That means we provide money when you want money, people when you want people, and novelties when you want novelties. Our main focus is wholehearted and satisfactory service!

Yang Xiaotao was not worried about Ran's father. After all, his father-in-law had remained true to himself in such a harsh environment in the northwest, so this sugar-coated bullet probably wouldn't even scratch his skin.

He was worried about the other two members of the investigation team.

After all, in a so-called three-party investigation, as long as two parties agree, the minority must obey the majority.

"I guess in the end it will be just a lot of thunder but little rain, a great start but a poor finish!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't have much hope for the United States and the Alliance, but he was thinking about how to use this incident to make his life even more difficult.

'It would be better to give a specific punishment.'

After thinking for a while, Yang Xiaotao actually thought of a solution.

If I remember correctly, the 1960s and 1970s were a period of economic boom.

Foreign trade and international cooperation are the top priorities.

The core of this trade is high-tech represented by cameras, copiers, etc.

If this wing is broken, not only will they be unable to fly, but they will at least be delayed by a few years.

Thinking of the newly established copier project of Department Nine, Yang Xiaotao's eyes became more fierce.

In the spirit of anything that can make your life more enjoyable, it is a good thing.

Even if it harms others and does not benefit yourself, you have to do it.

It’s just that my words aren’t very influential in this kind of thing, so it’s better to talk to someone who has some influence.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and made a call.

"Commander, Happy New Year."

"Of course I am on the front line. I am a person who loves my job so much."

"Ah, haha, are you busy?"

Yang Xiaotao made a few polite remarks and prepared to get down to business.

"Busy, how can you not be busy?"

Mr. Chen put down the documents in his hand, then leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile, "Tell me, no matter how busy I am, I will solve it for you."

Yang Xiaotao immediately said, "Commander, you also know about Xiao Ri's life."

"I know, what's your idea?"

"A little bit. The chief dared to do this this time. It would be strange if he said he didn't have the support of the United States."

"Besides, the Alliance is useless. This investigation might end up being a failure."

Yang Xiaotao expressed his analysis, and although Mr. Chen did not say anything, he agreed in his heart.

I don’t have much hope for this tripartite investigation itself, after all, it has attracted a lot of attention this time.

As for the Alliance and the United States, both sides were forced to step forward by them and had no choice but to step forward.

The final result is probably similar to what Yang Xiaotao said.

"Commander, I came to you this time to ask if we can get some benefits from this."

"benefit?"

Old Chen straightened up in his chair. He knew that Yang Xiaotao's calling him was not without purpose, especially in this matter, and it was definitely not a joke.

"What on earth do you want to say, kid?"

When Elder Chen's voice came, Yang Xiaotao began to explain, "Commander, you still remember the pressure cooker, rice cooker, and air conditioner we made, right?"

"Now, except for a few member countries around us, aren't the products from other places made by Xiao Ri?"

"Do you think this is fair?"

Old Chen frowned, somewhat understanding what Yang Xiaotao meant, "Do you want them to stop plagiarizing?"

"Haha, do you think it's possible? They are shameless. It's useless to tell them."

"So what do you want?"

Yang Xiaotao lowered his voice and said, "Commander, we can't control the ones in front of us, but we can't control the ones behind us."

"We can use this opportunity to ask them to write a letter of guarantee, promising not to plagiarize in the future."

"Otherwise, this matter will not be resolved."

Old Chen frowned, feeling that this matter was a little unreliable.

Just write a guarantee, will it work?

Just when Mr. Chen was puzzled, Yang Xiaotao continued, "Commander, although we have not joined the ranks of patent protection, we have not joined Xiaozi either."

"Otherwise, how come no one sued them when they plagiarized so much technology over the years?"

"I think the United States has also suffered greatly over the years. If we bring it up, they will definitely support it."

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Mr. Chen also felt that this matter was a bit strange.

So he nodded and replied, "I'll have someone check this matter. If possible, I'll do as you say."

"It would be best if we signed a letter of guarantee in the presence of the United States and the Alliance."

"Well, that's it."

After saying this, Mr. Chen hung up the phone, then sat in deep thought for a long time before picking up the phone and making a call.

"Xiao Li, I have something to ask you."

"Say it, Chief."

A woman's clear voice came from the phone.

General Chen immediately gave a brief account of the situation. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before he said, "Commander, the other party should have joined the treaty."

“However, they have not officially taken effect in the country due to domestic issues.”

Mr. Chen perked up and asked, "So they are not protected by patents at all? Like us?"

"Yes, sir, they are not essentially protected by international patents."

"okay, I get it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and immediately called West Garden.

This time, the phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Then, without hesitation, Mr. Chen told Yang Xiaotao what he had suggested. After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he replied, "Do you think he said that because of the satellite phone?"

When the thin old man's voice came, Old Chen immediately laughed and said, "Although this kid didn't say it, I think that's it."

"Well, since he has brought it up, let's send a letter to the investigation team and add this item."

"Since the other party wants to calm down, they have to pay a price."

After the thin old man finished speaking, Chen Lao immediately laughed and said, "I think this kid still has a big trick up his sleeve."

"Ultimate move? I like him to use his ultimate move."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. But when he hung up, Mr. Chen clearly heard a child's voice calling him.
