Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang became anxious when he heard this. Universal accessories are all small things. Even if there are more of them, there won't be much. The outer shell accounts for nearly half of the task he had planned.

"How much is left? We have more than 10,000 people in our factory. That amount of work is nothing. It's not enough even without overtime." Li Dongfang was a little anxious.

Minister Wang also felt that such a small number of planned tasks was a bit underwhelming, and he certainly couldn't get rid of Li Dongfang, who was determined to win. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I will allocate some more shipbuilding steel plates to your factory, but..."

Minister Wang stopped talking halfway, and Li Dongfang immediately urged him, "Uncle Wang, just say what you want to say. It's really frustrating to keep saying half of what you want to say."

Minister Wang then slowly continued, "The specifications of the panels that your factory can produce now do not meet the requirements. If you want to take on this task, you have to upgrade the factory."

"That's no problem. As long as the department agrees, our factory will definitely fully cooperate." Li Dongfang immediately assured.

Minister Wang did not say anything else. He just threw a document to Li Dongfang. Li Dongfang took it and opened it. Fortunately, the content of the document was not very difficult to understand, so Li Dongfang understood it easily.

"Isn't the production line corresponding to this plate specification a bit small? If we want to build a bigger ship in the future, won't we have to expand the factory again?" After reading it, Li Dongfang felt that the production line standard in the document was the standard for gunboats of this era. It would not be difficult to build a production line, but this is too short-term planning. You know, the Hu Jian in later generations is 80,000 tons, and this production line is simply a rabbit next to the elephant's leg, and no hair can be used at all.

"Young man, don't be too ambitious. This specification is enough for your factory to handle. It's not your turn to produce a larger scale. If you don't like it, forget it." Minister Wang felt that Li Dongfang was a little too proud, so he spoke in an educating tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Dongfang quickly closed the document, hugged it in his arms and said, "No, why would I look down on it? Our factory will take this job."

No matter what, we will definitely talk about it later. When the time comes to expand, Li Dongfang plans to see the actual situation. If conditions permit, he is prepared to expand beyond the standard to prepare for the future.

Although it certainly cannot meet Hu Jian’s shipbuilding requirements, the 055 can still be used.

Minister Wang continued to read the documents and lowered his head to say to Li Dongfang: "Are you alright? If not, get out of here. I still have things to deal with."

"Okay!" Li Dongfang achieved his goal. He left happily with the standard documents for production line construction in his pocket.

An agreement was reached with Minister Wang, so there were basically no problems with the afternoon meeting.

The meeting began with the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, on behalf of the Military Department, reporting and praising Comrade Li Dongfang's outstanding contributions.

Then the Academy of Sciences proposed to award Li Dongfang the title of Distinguished Researcher of the Academy of Sciences, and Li Dongfang's opinion needed to be sought.

Li Dongfang did not accept the offer at all. He did not want this thing. If he accepted it, the Academy of Sciences would be ordering him around every now and then. Besides, if there was something he did not understand, it would be exposed all of a sudden, which would have a negative impact on what kind of technology he would come up with in the future.

So Li Dongfang directly replied that he was just an amateur and not worthy of the title of researcher at the Academy of Sciences. Anyway, no matter what, Li Dongfang kept refusing.

In the end, it was the Minister of Industry who made the final decision. "Since Comrade Li Dongfang has declined, you shouldn't force it. Anyway, if you have any questions to ask him, he won't refuse to answer. I think we should leave it at that."

Until this point, the talents of the Academy of Sciences had to give up, but they still decided to go back and do some ideological work on Li Dongfang through his parents.

Finally, it was about the allocation of fighter aircraft parts production. As the main R&D personnel, Li Dongfang proposed the task of producing non-confidential parts, and everyone present was very considerate and did not object.

As agreed with Minister Wang in advance, the production of the casing was transferred to a relatively confidential department with the task of producing ship steel plates.

After Li Dongfang's persistent pestering, the department promised to bear 80% of the cost of expanding the steel mill, which made Li Dongfang satisfied.

Li Dongfang happily went back to the steel rolling mill and reported to Director Yang, who immediately slapped his thigh and offered to treat him to a meal.

Li Dongfang smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, you are being too polite. After all, I am also from our factory. Isn't it my duty to work for the factory?"

"Well said, kid! I'll make note of this!" Director Yang patted Li Dongfang's shoulder in appreciation.

Li Dongfang chuckled and said, "Uncle Yang, this time I also got another benefit for our factory."

Director Yang immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Tell me if there are any other surprises."

Li Dongfang also grinned and said: "Uncle Yang, I have obtained funding from the department. The department will bear 80% of the cost of our factory's factory renovation." After saying this, Li Dongfang looked very proud.

After hearing this, Director Yang frowned and said, "80%... How can this be considered a good thing? Shouldn't the Ministry allocate the full amount?"

Li Dongfang smiled mysteriously and said, "Uncle Yang, this funding only mentioned the renovation of our factory, but did not mention the corresponding production line factory building."

Director Yang was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood the difference and said in disbelief, "Is this true?"

Li Dongfang nodded affirmatively, and Director Yang clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Great, great, come on, Dongfang, let's discuss it and see how to plan it."

Here, Li Dongfang and Factory Director Yang were excitedly discussing which workshop to demolish and which to renovate.

On the other side, in Li Dongfang's office, the Wang sisters were still waiting for Li Dongfang to get off work.

Li Dongfang just came back from a meeting in the department and went directly to Director Yang's office. He stayed there for several hours. Now it's past the end of get off work time, but he hasn't come back yet.

"Sister, I'm hungry. Why don't we go home first?" Wang Hui poked the table boredly.

Wang Fang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go first."

She originally wanted to ask Li Dongfang about the meeting, but now she can only go home and ask her father.

But Wang Fang didn’t know what was going on during this period of time. She just missed Li Dongfang very much. Maybe it was because of a special day.

After saying hello to Lin Shu, the two sisters went home after get off work.

Li Dongfang and Director Yang chatted until it was completely dark.

Originally, Director Yang invited Li Dongfang to have dinner with him, but Li Dongfang felt that it was meaningless to have dinner with an old man, so he declined. He agreed to go back and think about it carefully and perfect the plan tomorrow.
