Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1694 Young People’s Dreams
Half an hour later.

Lou Xiao'e returned to the office and saw Yang Xiaotao thinking at the desk.

His calm appearance made her dare not speak casually, so she just waited on the side.

She knew that every time Yang Xiaotao was thinking about something, it meant that the matter was very serious.

"Is everything done?"

Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and saw Lou Xiaoe standing beside him, then he asked.

"Well, the personnel department has already started processing it, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Lou Xiao'e quickly stepped into the role of secretary and continued to report, "Director Zhang has summoned all the R&D department staff in the factory."

"Engineer Chen and Engineer Pang have also returned from the hospital. They look fine and are waiting at the R&D department."

"Ok!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then thought of something and picked up the phone on the table and dialed.

After a while, the call was connected.

"United Star Research Institute, I'm Yang Xiaotao."

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm Ma Qian."

"Team Leader Ma, ask the person in charge of the R&D and technical teams to come to the machinery factory as soon as possible."

"Okay, got it!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, picked up the plan on the table and walked out.

"Ask the logistics staff to go to the conference room to set up the meeting. There may be a lot of people this time."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and went out immediately.

Yang Xiaotao came to Liu Huaimin's office, knocked on the door and walked in.

If you want to carry out the project, you have to get the support of Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning, otherwise there will be constraints on the machinery factory.

"Secretary Liu."

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Liu Huaimin busy reviewing documents in the room. Compared to the last time I came, there were much fewer documents on the table this time.

But judging from Liu Huaimin's expression, these things should be quite serious.

"I'm back. I heard you encountered a lot of problems this time?"

Liu Huaimin capped the pen, put it aside, stood up and walked to the table.

The two sat down, Yang Xiaotao put the plan on the table, and then talked about the situation in Shicheng.

Of course, the matter of adopting Miaomiao was also mentioned.

"When I came back yesterday, I heard Lao Chen say that if we were to go later, the consequences would be serious."

"Well, it was two days ago, thank goodness they were able to hold on."

"People, until the very end, will never give up."

Liu Huaimin sighed, not knowing what he was referring to, and then looked at the plan on the table.

You can tell from the handwriting that this was written by Yang Xiaotao himself.

Seeing Liu Huaimin looking at him, Yang Xiaotao put the plan forward with a look of trepidation on his face.

After all, this project costs a lot.

It even requires cooperation from other sister units, which requires the machinery factory to step in.

"Secretary Liu, this is the research proposal I'm going to submit to my superiors."

After he finished speaking, Liu Huaimin took it and glanced at the words on the cover, then he understood.

At the same time, he was a little helpless.

Before going south, Mr. Chen gave the machinery factory an important task, which was to continue to improve Morningstar while producing Morningstar machine tools, improve the performance of high-precision machine tools, and then drive the development of the machinery industry.

During this period, in addition to arranging personnel to go to machine tool factories in various places to organize learning of machine tool production, the machinery factory also arranged personnel to start development.

Originally, this task was to be given to Yang Xiaotao, but Yang Xiaotao insisted on making aircraft engines, and as the secretary he couldn't refuse.

Who made Yang Xiaotao the chief designer of the machinery factory?
He wants to design an aircraft engine, who can interfere?

It is estimated that even if Commander Chen comes, Yang Xiaotao will have nothing to say if he insists.

After all, he has to be willing to do this.

Just by flipping through it and taking a look, Liu Huaimin knew that Yang Xiaotao was serious this time.

There are a lot of ideas, and we have put a lot of effort into staffing and so on, and we are determined not to give up until it is accomplished.

Thinking of Yang Xiaotao's previous "achievements", Liu Huaimin had great confidence in the aircraft engine plan.

Because it is rare for Yang Xiaotao to take something so seriously.

And once you get serious about it, you will most likely succeed.

But what if it succeeds?

It's just laying the foundation.

He and Tony Yang have already reported this matter to their superiors.

After repeated confirmation by leaders of relevant departments and experts, they all agreed that Yang Xiaotao's engine research should be in the initial stage.

This kind of foundation-laying behavior cannot be said to be a waste of resources, but domestic aircraft do not need this kind of engine.

Moreover, the Red Star Machinery Plant does not have the ability to manufacture an aircraft suitable for this engine.

What’s the use of making it?
After all, airplanes are different from tanks and armored vehicles.

"Forget it, just consider it as paying tuition and learning experience."

'Let him give up the idea!'

Liu Huaimin's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he recalled the result of his discussion with Tony Yang, and then he said, "Since you have already planned it, there is no problem on my side."

"I mentioned this matter to Mr. Chen before, and in principle, he did not object."

"But Mr. Chen is in the south now. I will submit a project plan when he comes back."

After hearing what Liu Huaimin said, Yang Xiaotao was stunned at first, but then he felt relieved.

Sure enough, the machinery factory still supported him.

Although many people were not optimistic about him before, and even Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning had advised him against it, but after he made up his mind, they still stood behind him.

This is the trust and help from revolutionary comrades.

Yang Xiaotao thought in his heart and felt grateful.

It was completely unclear that the two of them were thinking about completely different things.

"In that case, I'll go get ready."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he picked up the plan on the table and walked out.

Liu Huaimin stood up and saw him out, then saw Yang Xiaotao walking towards the meeting room.

"Old Liu, has he decided?"

Just after Yang Xiaotao left, Tony Yang stuck his head out of the office door and looked at Liu Huaimin at the door. "What do you think?"

Liu Huaimin said unhappily, Yang Youning walked out of the room, took out a cigarette, and they both lit it.

"Young people always have dreams!"

"Since he insists, let him do whatever he wants. After all, we have a strong financial foundation and can withstand it."

Tony Yang suddenly said with a smile, but in Liu Huaimin's opinion, it was more of a wry smile.

"hope so."

He replied, then looked at each other, and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

In the conference room.

Chen Bin and Pang Guo were surrounded by people. Liu Daming, Zhou Hong and others were asking questions one after another, very curious.

"Old Chen, you two were under the table for two days?"

Liu Daming asked curiously with squinted eyes, gesturing with his fingers on the table beside him.

Chen Bin nodded, "That's true."

"We are lucky to be alive. If you go and see, you will see those who didn't make it."

When Chen Bin said this, his expression became solemn.

"If Mr. Yang and his team hadn't arrived in time, we two old bones wouldn't be able to stand here."

Pang Guo couldn't help but sigh as he held the jar.

When he got home and told his wife what happened, she hugged him and cried for most of the day.

If it weren't for the fact that this job is the backbone of the family, I really want him to go home and retire.

The family was even more grateful that Yang Xiaotao and Chen Gong led people to rescue them.

Not only that, his students and apprentices were also extremely grateful to the machinery factory and Yang Xiaotao after hearing about it.

"Okay, okay, at least everyone is alright. Let's talk about business."

Seeing Chen Bin and Pang Guo's gloomy expressions, Hou Baowei immediately changed the subject and looked at Zhang Guanyu, "Director, what did General Manager Yang ask us to do in this meeting?"

Zhang Guanyu was listening to a few people talking just now, and felt that it was a great fortune in his life to be able to work under a leader like Yang Xiaotao.

When he thought about his previous meeting with Yang Xiaotao, he felt that this young man had a temperament that no one else had, which made people feel awe.

In the past, I thought it was learning and profound knowledge that was awe-inspiring.

But now, he understood that what made people respect him was not knowledge or ability, but attitude.

The attitude towards work is serious and meticulous.

His attitude towards workers is dignified yet caring.

Be positive and optimistic about life.

treat
Just as he was daydreaming, he heard Hou Baowei's voice and quickly came back to his senses, "Secretary Lou notified me, I don't know either."

Hou Baowei rolled his eyes and said, "I thought you, the director, knew about this."

Zhang Guanyu blushed and lowered his head.

Liu Daming couldn't bear to watch, so he coughed lightly at Hou Baowei and said, "Can you guess what Mr. Yang is thinking?"

"If you could guess it, you wouldn't have to be here."

Hou Baowei was scolded by Liu Daming, but they were used to this kind of thing, so they didn't get angry. He took out a cigarette from his pocket. Liu Daming immediately reached out for it. Hou Baowei pouted and said, "You have it in your pocket, and you want to steal it from me."

"If they don't steal yours, whose will they steal? Who made you rich?"

"That's bullshit. You talk like you're poor."

Although Hou Baowei said this, he still distributed the cigarettes around. In the end, there was only one cigarette left. He showed a look of pain on his face and then put it in his pocket.

I made up my mind that next time I will definitely take out a cigarette in front of others.

"I'd say it's probably the plane's engine."

Hou Baowei puffed out smoke and spoke with great certainty.

Zhou Hong shook his head after hearing this. "Impossible. If he was going to do it, he would have done it after the New Year given Mr. Yang's temper. Why would he wait until now?"

"How is that impossible? There was news a while ago that an entire workshop was emptied out, and a lot of equipment was added for this purpose."

Hou Baowei immediately retorted, but in fact, he was retorting more for the sake of "face".

He was not optimistic about the engine either.

People in their line of work have many apprentices and colleagues, and the circle is not big, so anyone can know any news.

So everyone knows what kind of aircraft engines to use and what the domestic situation is.

It is not just a little difficult for a machinery factory to achieve results with engines; it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"There was a lot of news, but it has disappeared recently."

Lao Guo next to him interrupted.

Because of the special thread, Lao Guo became famous in the entire industry.

Not only did the machinery factory give rewards, but they also issued a certificate for it. Among this group of old guys, except Liu Daming, he was the only one who had such a certificate.

Status and welfare benefits are all rising sharply.

Hou Baowei was so jealous that he felt uncomfortable.

The position of my second child is not very secure.

"I think what the old monkey said makes sense."

Chen Bin spoke up in support at this time, and the people around him looked at him, thinking he had inside information.

"Although Mr. Yang didn't say it, do you know what those people do?"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Sun Lu and his group.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course I work on airplane engines."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, but it felt unreal.

Aircraft engines? Just these people?

Can it be done?
But if not, would these people be allowed to participate?
Hou Baowei immediately smiled triumphantly, as if it was a great thing that he had guessed Yang Xiaotao's thoughts.

"Hey, why are they here?"

Chen Bin suddenly looked towards the door and saw the old Taoist leading several people in, among whom An Zhongsheng was prominently listed.

When the Taoist priest and his companions arrived, they came forward to greet them and then found a place to sit down.

After some discussion, everyone had a clear idea of ​​the theme of this meeting.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was seen walking in from outside, with Lou Xiaoe behind him holding a document with a serious expression.

Behind them, the R&D security team, led by Wang Hao, entered the conference room and was in the highest alert mode.

When everyone saw this situation, they knew that something big was going to happen next.
