Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2582 Lao Wang: Have I become a unit of measurement?

In the conference room.

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he sat aside, picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully, with a faint smile on his face.

There are six countries here, and each of them wants a considerable sum of money. Moreover, this kind of cooperation is not a one-time deal but sustainable development.

This step-by-step construction process takes a long time and covers a wide range.

The benefits will naturally be greater.

After taking a look at the expressions of the crowd, Old Chen had an idea of ​​what was going on, so he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the matter has been said and no matter what, it's all rotten in the pot.

As long as the task can be completed and money can be earned, it's fine. As for who gets to eat the meat, that depends on each person's ability.

His eyes swept across everyone's faces again, and he looked at Yang Xiaotao in particular, then he lowered his head and continued to look at the tea leaves in the bowl.

But I was thinking in my heart that with this wave of recovery, the domestic infrastructure could develop a lot!
So what’s the next goal?

Compared to Mr. Chen's calm expression, everyone else present was shocked when they heard the news.

Then he seemed to be unable to sit still, moving his buttocks, with excitement on his face.

What does it mean to be able to complete the task? You must be able to.

Six countries, how many machine tools would be needed?

How much does this cost?

Yang Xiaotao was sitting near the door, and when he heard what Mr. Chen said, his heart was filled with ripples.

Looking at the expressions of Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang beside him, Yang Xiaotao naturally understood what they were planning.

This is a piece of fat, a piece of fat that can increase your strength when eaten.

These orders can even stimulate the development of the machine tool manufacturing industry.

Perhaps, under this stimulation, domestic machine tools will embark on a path of rapid development.

There was excitement in Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

This project and this money must be won.

However, he also knew that since Mr. Chen had called all of them here, he would not let one family have the whole thing to themselves.

Of course, how much you can eat depends on your ability.

Dividing the cake now will prevent anyone from causing trouble later.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao was no longer in a hurry.

Nothing else, when it comes to the manufacturing and production of machine tools, who can compare with the nine of them?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just Morningstar Machine Tools can only produce a few of the same products now.

Moreover, most of this output was contributed by these nine departments.

If it weren't for the tasks assigned by their superiors, it is estimated that the nine of them would have squeezed the remaining few to death.

This is just the Morningstar machine tool. If we take out the Mercury machine tool, it will be the best.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotao was not anxious at all. Instead, he picked up the cup of water on the table and tasted it.

Well, Mr. Chen’s tea is really good.

After a while, Huang Lao and the others exchanged glances, and finally Huang Lao broke the silence, "Leader, how many machine tools do these six countries need?"

After hearing what Mr. Huang said, Mr. Chen said casually, "These countries originally wanted to purchase machine tools from the alliance, but after seeing our machine tools, they changed their attitude."

"Of course, the price factor is involved, but more importantly, it is the quality of our machine tools that impressed them."

"So, they purchased a lot of machine tools."

Mr. Chen first explained the reason, then took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Let me talk about our neighbor Siam."

"This time, Siam took the initiative to contact us and wanted to learn about our industrial construction process, especially mechanical processing, and needed our support."

When Yang Xiaotao heard Mr. Chen talking about Siam, the characteristics of Siam in later generations immediately came to his mind.

Although I have never seen it, this feature is the first thing that comes to mind when people around me mention it.

It also often appears in movies.

Over time, this characteristic has become the impression that Siam gives people.

But in reality, it's just part of Siamese culture.

It was the Southern Goguryeo in later generations. Life there was peaceful, but in fact, it was even more chaotic there.

It’s just that relatively speaking, when people have a good life, they start to package it and pursue freedom and unrestrainedness.

The characteristics are the same as those of Siam.

Although Siam cannot be called an industrial country today, it has already begun to embark on the road of industrial construction.

From the initial development of handicrafts to the later traditional textile industry, Siam has achieved remarkable results in light industry.

Today, steel, building materials and even metal smelting in Siam have begun to develop with the support of the government. At the same time, it encourages the development of industry and commerce and even provides corresponding loans to reduce the import of foreign materials.

Therefore, the government has an open-minded attitude towards the development of the country's machinery manufacturing industry.

The impressions from the previous life were not enough. Now Yang Xiaotao's impression of Siam mainly came from the newspapers he read. It might be a little biased, but the main idea should be correct.

While I was thinking, Mr. Chen had already come to the key part.

"Our comrades went to Siam for a month-long investigation and the results they obtained were somewhat unexpected but also reasonable."

"Their current commodity production and manufacturing capabilities are no worse than ours."

"But their machines are all imported from abroad, and most of the machines they use were produced in the 1950s, many of which were eliminated by the Alliance and France."

At this point, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "This is almost the same as we were ten years ago."

Everyone immediately made a comparison in their minds, and then smiled proudly.

“So, they want a lot of machine tools, especially entry-level and mid-range ones.”

"Our comrades handed over several samples of domestic machine tools to the other side, and the Siamese side responded that they needed 5,200 primary machine tools of various types and 3,000 intermediate machine tools."

"Of course, they also need advanced machine tools and have requested 300 advanced machine tools."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, the people below immediately figured it out, and then fierce discussions broke out in the conference room.

"Wow, that's 8,500 units in one go. Our logistics department's annual output is not even that high."

Qin Lao rubbed his palms excitedly, "If all six countries are like this, then we need..."

"Fifty-one."

Mr. Zhang immediately gave an answer.

Old Qin clapped his hands and said, "Yes, more than 50,000. My goodness, how many do we have now?"

"Lao Wang, your Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was established late. Do you have 50,000 machine tools now?"

Elder Wang was stretching his fingers and thinking about something, when he suddenly heard Elder Qin calling him. He then said unhappily, "What do you mean we were established late? Why don't you talk about the Ninth Department? They were even later."

Old Qin curled his lips, "Have you forgotten how the Nine Departments started? Is he comparable?"

After hearing this, Mr. Wang also thought so, but he still felt uncomfortable. What does comparability mean? Could it be that his Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is the reference object?

But seeing that everyone was staring at him, he couldn't refuse, so he calculated and said, "If we count the machine tools of the Alliance, we, the Seventh Machine Manpower Division, can probably only use less than 20,000 machines."

When he took office, he specifically requested a statistic, and the company's assets at the time were fully appraised, and it turned out that there were nearly 10,000 machine tools of various types.

However, in recent years, the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building has purchased a lot of machine tools, especially from the Red Star Machinery Factory. In addition to the production of local machine tool manufacturers, the number now is about 20,000.

But he couldn't decide the exact number.

After all, the Alliance’s machine tools are extremely crude.

Some machine tools are just decorations in the workshop.

After Wang Lao finished speaking, Zhang Lao nodded and said casually, "Our Third Machine Department is better. It was established earlier and has about 30,000 people."

The Third Ministry of Machine Building overlapped with the First Ministry of Machine Building and the Logistics Department in many areas, so the number of machine tools was not large.

After Zhang Lao finished speaking, Qin Lao immediately laughed and said, "We need more, almost twice as much as Lao Wang and his team, 40,000 units." Qin Lao held up two fingers and said, "Two Lao Wangs."

Then he winked at Mr. Wang.

Old Wang's eyes widened, and after a while he immediately realized that he was being used as a unit of measurement.

hateful!

I can't stand it!

"You, what do you mean?"

As the instigator, Mr. Qin hurriedly explained, "Old Wang, look at you, you are still so angry."

“We are just stating an objective fact.”

Wang Lao felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this, but before he could speak, he heard Huang Lao say with a smile, "Our First Ministry of Machine Building is the first one anyway. Adding them together, there are almost four Lao Wangs."

Now Mr. Wang was completely helpless.

But then, everyone was envious again.

These four Lao Wangs represent 80,000 machine tools.

You know, this is even after the Ministry of First Machine Industry was cut down many times, but it is still huge in size today.

Eighty thousand units! It would take the three of them combined to catch up.

When Mr. Huang saw everyone's gazes, he just smiled and leaned back tactically, not caring at all.

As the big brother, if you don’t even have this little bit of wealth, how can you sit firmly on this chair?

Several people withdrew their gazes and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Because the last person left unmentioned here is him.

Everyone knows that the Nine Departments have been developing rapidly over the years, but no one knows how fast it is.

Now everyone is curious about how many machine tools these nine departments have.

However, Old Chen knew the most about this issue, so when everyone was curious, Old Chen looked at everyone with a smug look on his face, wanting to see what everyone's expressions would be.

Yang Xiaotao saw that everyone was looking at him and knew that he couldn't escape this time. Besides, there was nothing to hide.

So he said, "Our Ninth Department was established not long ago, so we don't have many machine tools."

Yang Xiaotao said modestly, but Mr. Wang couldn't wait and asked directly, "How much is not too much?"

The others also pricked up their ears and listened.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then noticed that Mr. Chen looked like he was enjoying the show, so he stopped hiding it and said, "If we count from the steel mill, we have produced the Venusstar, red milling machine tools, red punching machine tools, etc. So far, all kinds of machine tools added up."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao smiled at Mr. Wang and said, "There are about four Mr. Wangs."

"day!"

"Come on~"

"Incredible~"

When Yang Xiaotao said this, Mr. Qin and Mr. Wang immediately started swearing.

Mr. Zhang was more reserved, but still opened his mouth in surprise.

Only Old Chen had an intriguing smile on his face.

But Mr. Huang frowned, looked at Yang Xiaotao's expression, and then smiled suddenly.

"How did you manage to amass this fortune, kid?"

"Yes, hurry up and tell me, you kid is making such a big landmine without making any noise."

Old Qin was complaining on the side, but Old Wang was staring at Yang Xiaotao, "You are not a kind boy."

Then he said to the crowd, "Tell me what you guys are talking about. I asked him several times to order machine tools for us, but he just said he didn't have any. This one is difficult and that one is in short supply."

"That's great. You're just trying to hold back a loud fart behind closed doors."

As Old Wang said this, he wished he could go up and tear apart Yang Xiaotao's smiling face. It was so hateful.

I've spoken up for him several times, and now you're on guard against him?
It’s not fair. It’s so unfair.

When Yang Xiaotao heard what Mr. Wang said, he immediately retorted, "Mr. Wang, you are wrongly accusing me."

"I said no, most of these are early-production Morningstars, but what do you want?"

"It's either Morningstar or Mercury."

"We have only made so much of this stuff so far. You are making things difficult for us."

Yang Xiaotao felt aggrieved, but it would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once he said it, the room fell silent again.

Ah ~
Suddenly, Mr. Wang stood up and said, "You, you kid..."

The finger pointed at Yang Xiaotao, which frightened Yang Xiaotao. He stood up and said, "Lao Wang, I'm telling you, don't bite anyone in front of the leader."

Old Wang was furious, then sat down with a complicated look in his eyes.

At this time, Mr. Huang smiled and said, "Xiao Tao, when you say four Lao Wangs, do you include the machine tools that the alliance provided in the past?"

"The Alliance's previous machine tools?"

Yang Xiaotao reacted immediately, then looked at Elder Zhang and Elder Qin, both of whom turned their heads away in displeasure.

Now I understood it immediately.

Walking back to his seat and sitting down, Yang Xiaotao put his hands on his knees and said, "Well, well, the machine tool precision requirements of the alliance do not quite meet our production standards."

"Therefore, these machine tools are all given to local factories for use."

"So, these 80,000 units of yours are all the Morning Stars you made yourself, or even better ones?"

Zhang Lao asked curiously, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, our original annual output of the machinery factory was about 3,000 units."

"Later, it became the ninth department, and several machine tool factories joined in. They only produced simpler machine tools, so the output was not small."

"Over the past few years, apart from delivering tasks to our superiors, this is pretty much all we have done."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Mr. Wang looked up to the sky and sighed, his face bleak.

But at this moment, Mr. Huang fired another shot, "Xiao Tao, how many Morningstars and Mercurys do you have now?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand what Mr. Huang meant, but he quickly replied, "We have about 300 Morningstar machine tools in our Ninth Department. As for Mercury, we have fewer, about 100."

"The main reason is that there are too few workers who can operate this type of machine tool, and all that is produced is handed over to the task."

Old Wang turned his head away, his mouth full of bitterness.

What the hell is this guy talking about.

Still less.

I have the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and the Shining Venus, Morning Star and Mercury, together, there are less than 100 of them.

The other elders, Qin and Zhang, also have the same color.

Cough
At this time, Mr. Chen suddenly spoke up for Yang Xiaotao, "The Ninth Department has so many machine tools. In addition to their own production and sales, they are responsible for projects that require a lot of machine tools, and they need these advanced machine tools."

Yang Xiaotao nodded quickly, "Yes, that's right."

"Don't talk, you bastard."

Old Wang felt so sad that he almost vomited acid.

Although I know what Mr. Chen said is right, what about tractors and engines? Which one doesn't need machine tools?

But this Ninth Ministry, which was established later than their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, actually left them far behind. Who could be willing to accept this?

Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly.

Mr. Huang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk business first. We have so many machine tools, we have to divide them up properly."

Hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.
