Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals

After lunch, the leader and General Lin came out of the conference room with the drawings of the new machine tool in their hands.

They exchanged a few words with Secretary Zhang and Director Yang, then said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, the senior leader patted Secretary Zhang on the shoulder meaningfully and said earnestly: "Xiao Zhang, the matter of this joint research institute is now left to you. I will communicate with the higher-ups and I believe that the approval document will be obtained soon. You must seize the time and build the institute as soon as possible."

Secretary Zhang nodded respectfully and watched the leaders and others walk out of the steel mill gate.

He let out a long sigh, his heart heavy, as if he was shouldering an important mission.

Director Yang stepped forward and patted Secretary Zhang on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Secretary, we have a lot of work to do. If this institute is built, it will be a great achievement."

"Of course." Secretary Zhang also smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out. "But we can't be careless about this matter, we must do it well. Let's go to my office to discuss it."

As he spoke, Secretary Zhang made a gesture to invite them in, and the three of them walked towards the office building.

After entering the office, Secretary Zhang sat down on the chair, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and slowly exhaled smoke rings, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Yang and Director Yang also sat down nearby, waiting for Secretary Zhang to speak.

After a long while, Secretary Zhang said slowly: "Xiao Li, you have made a great contribution this time. You have attracted the attention of the leaders above. You will be promoted step by step. If you continue like this, you will be promoted to deputy factory level in no time. Don't forget us old leaders when the time comes."

Li Yang laughed and said modestly: "Secretary Zhang, please don't make fun of me. I don't have such a great ability. I just happened to research that new machine. Besides, without your and Director Yang's strong support, I can't do anything alone."

Secretary Zhang was amused by Li Yang's words. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, you are such a sweet talker. This time, it's all your credit. Old Yang and I didn't do anything."

At this point, Secretary Zhang suddenly said seriously: "This time the senior leader has issued a death order. Everything about this joint research institute is given to you. We will give you the people you want, the land you want, and the equipment and funds you want. If you have any ideas, just raise them. We will fully cooperate."

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go to the open space next to our steel mill to investigate first. If the conditions are suitable, we might as well build the research institute there. This way, it will be convenient for our technicians to run around and the research will be more targeted."

Secretary Zhang and Director Yang looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They seemed to realize something and laughed at the same time.

Director Yang said, "Xiao Li, this is a good idea. The land next to our steel mill has been abandoned for many years, and we are worried about where to use it. If we build a research institute, the research and development and production of new technologies and new equipment will be inseparable from us in the future. By then, the output value of our steel mill will surely increase rapidly."

Li Yang also smiled and said, "Director Yang, you think long-term. I haven't finished what I said just now. If the institute develops new equipment and new processes in the future, I will have to trouble you to take care of the production. If you think there is anything that needs to be improved, please tell me and we will run this joint institute well together."

Director Yang's eyes lit up immediately and he said excitedly:

"Of course, when the time comes, our steel mill will have no choice but to cooperate fully to ensure that the new equipment and new process are successfully implemented. If there is anything that needs to be improved, let's communicate and solve the problem together."

Secretary Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, it's settled. Xiao Li, go and investigate and choose a suitable place first. Then we will start preparations and strive to build the institute as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Secretary Zhang pulled out a piece of paper from the table and spread it out on the table.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a map of the area near a steel mill.

"Look, this large area to the east of our steel mill is all vacant land." Secretary Zhang pointed at the map and said incessantly,

"If you ask me, this is the best place to build the research institute. It has convenient transportation, flat terrain, and is close to our factory. If you think any piece of land is suitable, just give it to me."

Li Yang took the pen from Secretary Zhang and made some gestures on the map.

He circled a square plot of land in the northeast corner and said, "Let's choose this place. It's about a few acres, which should be more than enough to build a decent research institute."

Secretary Zhang smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll do as you say. You can fence off this piece of land first, and I'll have someone measure it for you later. Once the specific area data is verified, we can directly approve the project. From application to construction, it will take at least one year, and at most three years. We will strive to complete it and put it into use as soon as possible."

"That's great. I will go for an on-site investigation tomorrow. If you are free, you can come and have a look and give us some suggestions." Li Yang also smiled.

"Of course. Lao Zhang and I are learning from you. We will make changes to whatever you suggest and we guarantee that you will be satisfied."

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while and agreed on some details.

Li Yang saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Secretary Zhang and Director Yang personally escorted Li Yang to the office door and said, "Little Li, you are the backbone of our joint research institute. This important task is entrusted to you. If you need anything, just tell us. We will definitely help you."

Li Yang nodded solemnly.

……

Li Yang returned home from the steel mill. Although it was late at night, he was still very excited.

The grand blueprint of building a joint technology center kept emerging in his mind, and he couldn't wait to put the idea into practice.

Li Yang took out a large piece of white paper from the desk and spread it on the table.

First, a huge circle was drawn in the middle of the paper, representing the core area of ​​the United Technology Center.

Then he began to outline squares around the circle, representing various functional areas.

First, Li Yang drew the largest square in the north direction of the circle and wrote the words "Office Area" in it.

I thought to myself that the office area must be spacious and bright so that scientific researchers can have a comfortable working environment.

Then, Li Yang drew a slightly smaller square on the right side of the office area and marked it as "research area".

The research area should be equipped with advanced experimental equipment and instruments so that scientific researchers can explore and innovate to their heart's content.

Below the research area, Li Yang drew a square of the same size and wrote "Experimental Area".

He plans to build a large-scale experimental platform and testing site in the experimental area for the practical application and verification of new technologies and equipment.

In addition to the research area and experimental area, Li Yang also planned a "processing area" on the left side of the office area.

This processing area will use the most advanced processing equipment he developed in the future to ensure that new technologies can be quickly transformed into actual products.

In the southeast direction of the circle, Li Yang drew a square marked "Logistics Area".

The daily life of scientific researchers is of vital importance, so the logistics area must be fully equipped.

Li Yang divided the logistics area into several small blocks, labeled them as "canteen", "dormitory", "infirmary", etc.

Above the logistics area, Li Yang also specially arranged a "leisure area".

I hope that scientific researchers can have a place to relax after their busy work.

The leisure area is equipped with tea rooms, gyms, libraries and other facilities, providing employees with a variety of leisure life options.

In the southwest corner of the circle, Li Yang planned a large "storage area".

As research continues to deepen, the demand for storage of various raw materials, parts and components, and finished products will become greater and greater.

The spacious storage space can effectively meet the requirements of material storage.

In addition to the various functional areas, Li Yang also reserved a large open space around the circle.

The Joint Technology Center will certainly continue to expand in the future. Only by reserving enough development space can the sustainable development of the institute be ensured.

At the end of the plan, Li Yang drew a square with the word "Conference Center" due west of the circle.

He envisioned building a large multifunctional conference hall here, which could be used for internal academic exchanges and seminars as well as to host various high-level industry conferences and press conferences.

Li Yang looked at the densely packed blocks and notes on the paper with satisfaction, a confident smile on his face.

He believes that with this careful planning, coupled with strong support from the government and the steel mill, the joint technology center will be built as soon as possible and play an important role in scientific and technological innovation in the steel industry.

Of course, the idea on the blueprint is only the first step in a long journey.

Li Yang knew that turning the blueprint into reality would require a lot of effort and sweat.
