Scholars in the courtyard

"Open the curtains. It's sunny today, so there's no need to turn on the lights."

  "Also, the seating space is larger. Fill the cups on the table with half water to keep the temperature..."

  Yang Xiaotao said on the side, and Liu Lixue and others quickly changed.

  When Yang Xiaotao felt it was okay, Lou Xiao'e's voice came from outside.

  "Mr. Yang, I want you to wait at the gate."

  "The foreign guests will be arriving soon."

  Yang Xiaotao nodded and quickly arrived at the gate of the machinery factory.

  Before I even got there, I saw someone walking over.

  "Director Yang, long time no see!"

  The visitor squinted his eyes, and his smile seemed serious.

  Yang Xiaotao had the urge to leave.

  Because every time I see a big beauty, something will happen.

  This has happened several times.

  His eyes subconsciously looked to the left and right, his whole body alert.

  "Hey, I just came over to say hello, there's no need for this."

  Director Yu noticed Yang Xiaotao's caution and pretended to explain.

  Yang Xiaotao saw that there were many guards around him, and he relaxed after hearing the words, "Lao Yu, long time no see!"

  After saying that, he reached out for a warm hug, which made Director Yu quite helpless.

  This guy is acting stupid again.

  Yang Xiaotao took out a cigarette, but Director Yu shook his head and refused.

  "The one at home dislikes it and won't let me smoke it."

  Yang Xiaotao put away the cigarette smoothly, "It seems that the standards this time are very high. Seeing that you are such a busy person, you are here."

  "I'm not busy. I haven't had much to do lately and I'm very relaxed."

  "Well, I hope you can always relax."

  Director Yu smiled, "I hope so too."

  The two talked about the conversation, and Director Yu left. He was going to patrol around.

  Inside the machinery factory, leave it to the factory security department, and outside it depends on them.

  Saying goodbye to Director Yu, Yang Xiaotao walked towards Liu Huaimin and others.

  "Lao Yang, how many things have he missed on this trip?"

  As he approached Liu Huaimin, he heard Chenggong teasing from the side. Wang Guodong also joined in the fun, "When it's over, I'll definitely give him a call!"

  "Hahaha, then I guess I'll have to come back immediately after hearing this!"

  Liu Huaimin also smiled and joked, it was obvious that several people were in a good mood.

  Especially the clothes, they are all New Year clothes.

  "Don't tell him, if he gets angry or sick, we have to send someone to take over."

  "I don't want to go!"

  Yang Xiaotao came forward and said, Wang Guodong nodded immediately, "What Xiaotao said makes sense!"

  Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong also nodded immediately, and everyone unanimously decided to wait until Lao Yang came back before telling him.

  Several people asked again, and after finding no questions, they waited at the gate.

  Yang Xiaotao and the others were not allowed to wait any longer. Before nine o'clock, a row of cars appeared in front of everyone.

  Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao looked at each other, immediately packed their clothes and waited to get off the bus.

  At the instruction of the propaganda director, workers on both sides quickly waved their flags and shouted in unison.

  In front of the convoy, four cars, as well as accompanying jeeps and trucks, occupied the entrance of the machinery factory.

  On the first car, after the car stopped, Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang got out of the car one after another, looked at everyone, and then walked towards the second car.

  The prepared workers on both sides immediately waved small flags in their hands and shouted, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

  In front of everyone's attention, the driver of the second car got out, opened the door, and then a middle-aged man wearing a white suit walked out. He had short chestnut hair and a unique face, which made Yang Xiaotao and others believe that this was from the Western Regions. people.

  As the middle-aged man got out of the car, and then a short teenager got off the car, wearing the same white suit, one could tell at a glance that he was related to the middle-aged man.

  After the two got out of the car, another woman got out of the car and followed them with a briefcase in her hand.

  The middle-aged man greeted Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, and at this time, three people got on and off the third car.

  The three of them are all in suits and are about the same age, but one is tall, two are short, one is fat and the other is thin.

  The three of them each held a bag in their hands and walked forward quickly.

  Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao also came forward with the leaders of the machinery factory.

  "Mr. Mosidov, this is the Red Star Machinery Factory."

  Mr. Chen introduced with a smile, and the lady behind the middle-aged man translated in a low voice.

  Yang Xiaotao listened for a while and determined that it was not English, nor did it sound like Russian. Anyway, he couldn't understand it.

  "Mr. Mosidov said that this is the factory that produces Red Star tractors and all-round tricycles. We have been waiting for it for a long time!"

  As the translator spoke, Mr. Chen introduced with a smile, "This is the secretary of Hongxing Machinery Factory, Comrade Liu Huaimin!"

  Mosidov nodded, Liu Huaimin stepped forward to welcome him, and the two shook hands.

  "This is Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the deputy director of Hongxing Machinery Factory."

  "At the same time, he is also the designer of the Red Star tractors and tricycles you are talking about."

  When Mr. Chen introduced Yang Xiaotao, the middle-aged man's face was obviously more surprised, and so was the young man behind him.

  The translator listened for a while and then said with a smile, "Mr. Mosidov said that you are too young and it is incredible."

  “It’s hard to believe that such a young person can design such a good product.”

  Yang Xiaotao smiled, "This is indeed what bothers me!"

  After the translator finished speaking, Mosidov immediately laughed and said a few words. The young man behind him raised his head and was very proud.

  The translator glanced at Yang Xiaotao and said in surprise, "Mr. Mosidov said, there is an old saying in China, which is that the ambition is not the age."

  "You are very young, but my Arafat is even younger. He is a very talented kid in motorcycle manufacturing."

  After speaking, Yang Xiaotao looked at the young man, smiled, and casually said something in English, "That's great. The world of young people is a world that requires communication."

  "I think we will have a lot in common."

  After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the crowd was shocked, and the translator quickly spoke to Mr. Chen.

  At this time, the young man named Arafat looked delighted, "Yes, I think we will have a common topic." When Mosidov heard his son's words, he also said happily, "You young people should communicate more!"

  The translator was busy translating into Chinese on the side, and Mr. Chen and others were surprised to see that the three of them could communicate in English.

  Of course, what surprised me was that Yang Xiaotao could speak fluent English.

  Mr. Huang thought of something and said something in Mr. Chen's ear, and Mr. Chen suddenly understood.

  "Mr. Mosidov, please come inside!"

  Everyone had met, and Mr. Chen invited them to go inside.

  Then, accompanied by a crowd of people and amidst the welcome sounds from both sides, Mr. Chen slowly walked into the machinery factory.

  Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to walk up to Mr. Huang.

  "Chief, what is this man's background?"

  Huang Lao distanced himself and said seriously, "I heard he is the son of a chief in Central Asia, and the younger one is his son."

  "This person came out with this division to see the world. I heard from Mr. Chen that they are very rich."

  Yang Xiaotao nodded, "There is indeed quite a lot of money there."

  "What are they here for this time?"

  Mr. Huang shook his head, "I didn't say it clearly, but my superiors guessed that since I came here, there was a purpose!"

  "You guys, get ready."

  After saying that he followed the team, Yang Xiaotao curled his lips, isn't that what the machinery factory has?
  Along the way, Mosidov saw such a huge factory and asked about it. He was curious and shocked.

  "This is the workshop where Red Star engines are produced."

  Everyone came to the third workshop and looked at the work site.

  In the workshop, many people averted their eyes the moment they came in, and then continued busy.

  Of course, many people were a little nervous and started working without the usual shock.

  "Is this a machine tool?"

  Mosidov looked at the semi-automatic machine tool being operated, but this time he spoke in English.

  As the translator spoke, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao.

  As mentioned before, Yang Xiaotao answered the technical questions.

  Yang Xiaotao glanced at Mr. Chen, who nodded and then spoke.

  "Sir, this is a semi-automatic milling machine we made ourselves."

  "This milling machine, combined with the semi-automatic punch press there, allows us to produce engine parts quickly and accurately."

  "You produced all this yourself?"

  Mosidov was very surprised, but Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded.

  "Yes, all the machine tools used in this workshop are manufactured by us."

  Mosidov glanced at the factory building and saw many machine tools.

  Then he stretched out his thumb and said seriously, "You Chinese people are so awesome. In our country, such machine tools need to be imported."

  At this point, Arafat behind him also nodded, "With so many machine tools, no wonder they can produce such an ingenious engine."

  "Thank you for the compliment!"

  Several people communicated quickly in English. The translator on the side was very busy and translated into Chinese, which made Mr. Chen and others very satisfied.

  Then, several people walked around the workshop, asking about the parts produced and their functions from time to time.

  As for the production of eight-cylinder engines, Yang Xiaotao has not revealed it.

  This kind of thing should naturally be hidden and kept mysterious.

  Finally, we came to the fourth workshop to watch the assembly of tractors and tricycles.

  Similarly, the parts of armored vehicles that were originally produced and assembled here were also hidden until the people left.

  Along the way, more and more questions were asked, and Yang Xiaotao had to look at Mr. Chen's face before deciding whether to tell the truth.

  Apparently Mosidov and the three people behind him were very interested in the production technology of the machine shop, so they spent half the morning wandering around the workshop.

  However, this situation also made Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang and others understand the other party's intention.

  It's definitely for the engine.

  After watching for a while, Mosidov discussed with the three people behind him, then nodded with satisfaction and followed Mr. Chen and others to the conference room where the reception was held.

  In the conference room, Mosidov, his son and the three accompanying people sat on one side, while Chen Lao, Huang Lao and the senior management of the machinery factory sat on the other side.

  "Mr. Mosidov, we have prepared the best tea, let's talk while we do it."

  "Sir, thank you for your hospitality. We are very satisfied."

  Mosidov said, Mr. Chen smiled, and then asked people to prepare the dishes.

  Yang Xiaotao was sitting on the side. The boy opposite was obviously not suitable for this kind of occasion. After sitting for a while, he started to move his buttocks, feeling a little unable to sit still.

  However, when the dishes were served, the aroma immediately attracted the young man's attention.

  Yang Xiaotao was also watching from the side, feeling constantly in his heart.

  ‘As expected of the master chef of state banquets. ’

  These meal ingredients are all common and can be found in machine factories, but can they be made?

  Not even Zhang Qingjun.

  Perhaps, when Yang Xiaotao reaches the eighth level of cooking skills, he will have this ability.

  Chen Lao moved his chopsticks, and Mosidov opposite him also held chopsticks. This surprised Yang Xiaotao.

  Everyone moved their chopsticks, Liu Huaimin and the others were not reserved. This was the first time for them to eat this kind of food.

  After dinner, young Arafat had to go to the toilet, and Mr. Chen arranged for someone to follow him.

  After Arafat left, Mosidov looked around and finally spoke solemnly.

  "Chen, we heard that you are conducting a technical cooperation with Kazakhstan."

  The translator said on the side. Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang looked at each other, then thought for a moment, and then responded, "Yes, we are doing some private cooperation."

  Then he glanced at Mosidov and stopped talking.

  There was silence in the room.

  After hearing this, Mosidov took two deep breaths and said seriously, "Chen, I come here with sincerity."

  "We want to introduce this growth line that can produce Zvezda engines."

  "At the same time, regarding the engine, we have conducted detailed research on it and feel that we can continue to develop and manufacture new engines on this basis."

  "We are willing to cooperate with you to conduct follow-up engine research."
