Chapter 1649 Finalizing Cooperation
"Boss Yang, long time no see!"

Outside the gate of the refrigerator factory, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin got out of the car and saw a group of people coming up to them with enthusiastic smiles.

"Secretary Ning, long time no see!"

Yang Xiaotao also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the old man in front of him.

"Heroes emerge from youth! That's incredible!"

"The last time we came here, it was for air conditioning. We really didn't expect that it would be made in such a short time."

"This makes us ashamed!"

Secretary Ning held Yang Xiaotao's hands with both hands, as if he had seen a rare treasure and was afraid that it would be gone if he let go.

The people who followed behind him nodded frequently after hearing this, especially Director Du who was standing next to him, who added something.

"I could tell the last time I came here that Mr. Yang is not an ordinary person."

"Now it seems that ordinary people can accomplish this?"

"Yep!"

Everyone behind him agreed with a smile.

Among them were leaders from not only the refrigerator factory, but also leaders from the electromechanical factory and the radio factory.

Everyone went along with him and didn't care about Yang Xiaotao's age at all.

Even if Yang Xiaotao is the same age as their children and grandchildren.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally met the people behind him under the leadership of Director Du.

"Boss Yang, this is Director Wang from the motor factory!"

"Director Wang, nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Yang is young and promising..."

Here, Yang Xiaotao met with everyone, and Lao Jin beside him was like a secretary and was ignored by everyone.

However, Lao Jin was not angry because of the different treatments from others.

In fact, seeing Yang Xiaotao being surrounded by people like this, I felt more proud.

Even though I am the same as you, my grandson is something extraordinary.

If we compare this to his grandson, who is better than his grandson-in-law?

No.

Not to mention that there are no people of the same age as him, even among those who are older than him, how many are better than him?
"Old Jin, Old Jin!"

Secretary Ning came over with a smile and immediately gave Lao Jin a hug.

"Thank you, Lao Ning!"

The two hugged each other, and Lao Jin spoke softly.

He knew that if these old brothers had not put pressure on the National Cotton Mill, most people might have been killed.

Not to mention their comeback.

"What are you talking about? We are all old brothers. As long as the child is okay, that's good!"

"and…"

Secretary Ning looked around and said in a low voice, "This is also to eliminate harm for the people!"

Lao Jin punched the man's chest with his fist and said, "If you say that, I will feel relieved!"

"That won't work. You have to owe us a favor. You can't refuse the wine at noon!"

"Haha, you're doing me a favor. If your refrigerator factory can get it done this time, you'll make a lot of money. If it weren't for me, would you have such a good thing?"

At this point, Lao Jin glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then smiled mysteriously, "You don't know, Lao Feng is waiting right beside you!"

Speaking of this, Secretary Ning's heart tightened.

Lao Feng is the secretary of the electric fan factory. In fact, the strength of the two companies is similar.

With such influence in Shanghai, it's really hard to say whether we can really strive for the production of this air conditioner!

As for other factories, since they can cooperate with their refrigerator factory, they can also cooperate with the electric fan factory.

Who asked them to provide the parts?

Of course, there is more than one company providing parts and there is also competition.

So we came together this time just to show our sincerity.

"Old Jin, you have to help me!"

"They've already said that they'll give him full authority!"

Secretary Ning whispered that their refrigerator factory was relying on this air conditioner to revive.

There is no other way, because the air conditioner can be exported to earn foreign exchange.
As long as they take this piece of meat, they can recover their blood and continue to develop.

The decision-making power of all this lies in the hands of that young man.

"I'm lucky enough to be able to bring him here! What else do you expect!"

Lao Jin did not agree directly. After saying this, he lowered his head and whispered, "I tell you, he came here mainly to see your subsequent research and development capabilities."

"Do you understand?"

Secretary Ning suddenly raised his head, then looked at the back, and then understood something.

While Yang Xiaotao was meeting with everyone, Secretary Ning hurriedly walked to the side and waved to the workshop director who was coming over.

"Go and call Team Leader Guo over!"

"Team Leader Guo? Which one?"

"Who else? The one who makes the air conditioner, quick!"

The workshop director thought of something, "But, Secretary, it's already a holiday!"

"You can't come during the holidays? I tell you, ten minutes. If you can't come in ten minutes, you can expect to be punished!"

The workshop director looked panicked and ran away immediately.

If you are punished at this time, it would be strange if you can get any New Year benefits.

After Yang Xiaotao met everyone, he walked into the meeting room under the leadership of Secretary Ning.

A group of people were walking in the factory, and the surroundings were empty and deserted.

Yang Xiaotao also knows that nowadays there is less work to do, so factories will take holidays early, which can also ease the logistical pressure.

"I learned last night that you were coming, and I didn't make any preparations in such a hurry!"

Director Du smiled at the side, but Yang Xiaotao didn't care.

"It's okay. I was here last time, so I know the situation of your factory."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was so easy to talk to, Director Du also breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone came to the conference room. Yang Xiaotao declined Secretary Ning's invitation and just sat behind Lao Jin.

Secretary Ning glanced at the proud Old Jin, his eyes full of envy.

Having a grandson like this makes you proud wherever you go!
"Boss Yang, thank you for coming all the way here. We are all very happy!"

Secretary Ning began to speak.

Yang Xiaotao nodded politely, "It is an honor for me to be able to sit here with all the seniors."

"Boss Yang is not only young and promising, but also humble. With such a talented person, it's no wonder that the machinery factory has been able to soar to the sky!"

Director Wang was sighing, and Secretary Li from the Broadcasting Equipment Factory also nodded.

"We heard from the radio that there are many machinery factories. If nothing else, their growth rate in the past few years is faster than that of automobile factories!" "Right, Lao Jin!"

Secretary Li did not forget to tease Lao Jin next to him.

"Hey, we were number one in the country back then. This kid is still far behind..."

"Old Jin, you are not being modest at all!"

"Yes, you are only making cars, but other people's machine tools and cars can make many other things..."

For a moment, a lively atmosphere spread at the table, and a few words brought the two sides closer.

At this time, a person came in quietly from outside and sat aside.

"Secretary Ning, Director Du!"

Yang Xiaotao looked around and spoke slowly. When the people around him heard Yang Xiaotao speaking, they immediately stopped talking and looked up at Yang Xiaotao.

Secretary Ning and the other person were also concentrating, waiting for Yang Xiaotao's decision.

"You two have also heard about the machinery factory."

"Because of our repositioning, some technologies need to be opened to the outside world, and some products need to be decentralized to expand domestic production capacity."

Yang Xiaotao spoke softly and everyone nodded.

The Red Star Machinery Factory became a factory directly under the headquarters, and its status was already above those factories.

They don't know how many factories are directly under the headquarters, but it is definitely not many.

Putting aside other things, no one here has a higher rank than Yang Xiaotao!
That's status.

As the status is improved, the level of vision will be raised. It will no longer be just one factory or one corner, but the entire region and the whole country.

Seeing everyone nodding, Yang Xiaotao spoke again.

"I came here this time to discuss cooperation on air-conditioning production with you!"

When the people around heard this, they all straightened their backs.

"Our refrigerator factory and all the factories here are very sincere about this!"

Secretary Ning said seriously.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I have already felt this!"

Everyone smiled.

"However, Secretary Ning, and everyone else, I want to hear about your future plans for air conditioning!"

Yang Xiaotao changed the subject and stated his request.

Everyone understood that if they didn't answer this question well, they might lose the opportunity.

There was silence in the conference room for a moment.

Director Du was not prepared for this question at all. He didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look at Secretary Ning.

"People may think that it is enough to just produce air conditioners."

Seeing that no one was talking, Yang Xiaotao began to explain.

"But in fact, every product has its effectiveness!"

"Some of this effectiveness is improved based on customer feedback!"

"Some of it is competition from peers, and there are many things involved."

Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw everyone nodding, obviously having heard it.

"The international environment we are facing now forces us to continue to develop and improve in order to maintain the advantages we are striving for."

Having said that, Yang Xiaotao looked at Secretary Ning.

"For air conditioners with the same performance, people abroad will choose those from their own country or the same camp. They will not choose ours!"

"this is the truth!"

"So, I want to hear what methods we can use to maintain this advantage in the future."

Having said this, everyone in the group, being high-level elites from various factories, understood what he meant.

Secretary Ning was grateful to Lao Jin for his reminder, which gave him time to think about the problem along the way.

"Boss Yang, I can't tell you how to solve this problem!"

"But I can tell you what we'll do!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. If he knew how to do it specifically, he wouldn't have to come. He could just issue the task directly.

At this point, Secretary Ning waved to the person who came in, "Team Leader Guo!"

Yang Xiaotao looked back and saw a man standing up from behind and greeting everyone.

"Secretary, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao had some impression of this person.

He is the designer and manufacturer of the first window-type air conditioner in China. I had dealings with him the last time I came here.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked forward to shake hands.

"Mr. Guo! Long time no see!"

"Yang, President Yang!"

The two men shook hands, and Secretary Ning walked over.

"Mr. Yang, our factory will set up a new R&D organization in the future."

"This Comrade Guo will be our director in charge of air conditioning research and development and design in the future!"

"We will make positive progress based on market feedback and domestic and international situations, and will never stand still!"

When Mr. Guo heard Secretary Ning say this, he was also excited.

Are you going to become the director?

I have been working in the factory for more than ten years and have always been a team leader, but now I have become a director?

His eyes fell on Yang Xiaotao's smile, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"That's good!"

"We welcome your establishment of a research department."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Engineer Guo and said, "Our machinery factory has set up a separate R&D department. In the future, we can communicate more, promote each other, and develop together!"

"Yes, yes, let's learn from each other and promote each other!"

When Secretary Ning saw that Yang Xiaotao was so concerned about this matter, he immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao valued.

Talent!

Yang Xiaotao pulled Mr. Guo to his side and the meeting continued.

And what happened next was just as everyone had imagined, and the cooperation with the machinery factory went smoothly.

On behalf of the Red Star Machinery Factory, Yang Xiaotao officially completed the cooperation with the Refrigerator Factory on air-conditioning production.

As for the parts and equipment used in air-conditioning production, the refrigerator factory will conduct secondary cooperation with some surrounding factories.

In this cooperation, both parties clarified the rights and responsibilities of air-conditioning development, and also clarified the obligations that need to be assumed.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao shared some of his views on air conditioners, which can be regarded as some inspiration for the refrigerator factory in the future.

"I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in air conditioners. For example, the size of air conditioners and the noise. We have studied ways to reduce the noise."

"Also, regarding operation, can I use a remote control to control the temperature? Can I control the wind speed..."

"I think these will be helpful for your work!"
