Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1823: Build good relationships in advance
When Elder Chen finished speaking, everyone tilted their heads, somewhat confused about what he meant.

Especially Mr. Huang, whose face showed astonishment.

Yang Xiaotao did not expect this result. In his opinion, although the corn thresher was not so urgent, it was almost August and only a few months away from the autumn corn.

We also have to produce wheat threshers during this period, so there isn’t much time left.

Therefore, it would be most appropriate to let the Ministry of First Machine Industry do this.

But now that Mr. Chen had spoken, he couldn't just roll his eyes and sing a different tune.

So after Mr. Chen finished speaking, he just remained silent, just like Mr. Huang.

As for Mr. Tao and the other two, they were just there to watch the fun.

What they care about is how many threshers they will have available at that time; who will produce them is not their concern.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Mr. Chen felt a little regretful and anxious.

But if I don't give an explanation, I guess everyone present will feel resentful.

So, Mr. Chen coughed lightly and prepared to explain the matter clearly. After all, no one present was an outsider.

Sooner or later you will know.

"You have some impression of the Yanzhou Steel Plant, right?"

Old Chen opened his mouth, but what he said made everyone frown. What does this have to do with what is happening at hand?

Yang Xiaotao responded, nodded and said, "Commander, are you talking about the steel plant we supported Yanzhou to build?"

"Correct!"

"When this steel mill was built, it was quite large and the superiors had high hopes for it, but the situation at the steel mill has not been very good in the past two years."

Then General Chen told everyone what he knew, and everyone listened carefully.

Then I realized the crux of the problem.

The steel mills produce a lot of products, but not much of them can be used.

The main reason is the lack of strong industrial support around.

This kind of thing is not a problem not only in the old city, but also in the industrial areas in the coastal areas. After all, there are many factories and the demand for steel is huge.

But in Yanzhou, this matter is hard to say.

"We have built a good steel plant. We can't let it go to waste. It's all national property."

"So I informed my superiors and decided to work on that area, starting with the mechanical aspect."

"And the third branch of the Red Star Machinery Factory was established for this purpose."

"By then, the Third Branch will have the support of the machinery factory and can produce heating furnaces, tractors, engines and even machine tools, thus boosting the local economy."

Mr. Chen spoke seriously. The meeting room was silent as everyone followed his train of thought.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia all nodded to show their understanding.

Because that’s how they’ve been getting by over the years.

Wherever there is a need, a group of people will go to build, waving their arms, shouting slogans, and investing 100% of their enthusiasm.

Yang Xiaotao listened from the side and couldn't help but admire the power of this "adjustment method".

Although it is inevitable to do some "absurd" things, even many years later you will find that it is useless, counterproductive, and will make mistakes worse and worse in the end.

Just like the oil town it once was.

It was glorious for a while, but ended up in ruin.

But at this moment, Yang Xiaotao had to say that this method, this method of fully utilizing the power of the organization, could implement the decision as soon as possible.

Able to achieve extreme execution.

As we see now, a large number of manpower and huge amounts of materials have been deployed to build a steel plant on the loess, and now we also need to build supporting factories for it.

More importantly, not only did no one present object, but they were also very enthusiastic.

Just when it was mentioned that the machinery factory was going to set up a third factory, everyone's heart still started beating faster.

patter
The crisp sound of a fountain pen came from the table, and then turned to the hand.

Liu Huaimin was stunned.

Just now he was still wondering why Mr. Chen made such a request.

Although the Red Star Machinery Factory is a department directly under the higher authorities, and logically this kind of matter is indeed under the jurisdiction of Mr. Chen, but it is not Mr. Chen's style to say it in front of so many people.

But after hearing what Mr. Chen said, my head was a mess.

So, their machinery factory is going to have a third branch?

It's only been a short time, and their scale has expanded so quickly!

He felt that the two branches, Factory One and Factory Two, were sufficient. Now with the addition of Factory Three, Liu Huaimin felt that the business was getting bigger and bigger, and his work pressure was increasing exponentially.

When Mr. Huang, who was sitting next to him, heard what Mr. Chen said, he was also surprised.

But he recovered quickly, and glanced at Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao, with a hint of relief in the depths of his eyes.

In comparison, Mr. Xia smiled a lot more often.

Although we didn’t get the production of this corn thresher, what does it matter?

Although he was close to the old brothers in the First Ministry of Machine Building, they were still inferior to the son he had raised since childhood in the Machinery Factory.

Given the choice between his son and his brother, he would of course choose the former.

Moreover, the machinery factory is going to set up a third branch. This is just like his son starting a family and then having children. As a grandfather, wouldn't that be unpleasant?

Old Xia did not hide the smile on his face and even nodded continuously at Yang Xiaotao and the other man.

At the end, Mr. Sun felt that his cognition could not keep up with the pace of development.

Back in the day, when the machinery factory was still a rolling mill, or when it started to rise from heating furnaces, it was not much different from the factories under his control.

But in recent years, it's like riding on a missile, soaring upwards.

He even felt that if things continued like this, the Red Star Machinery Factory would soon become an independent unit.

Ninth Ministry of Machine Building?
An idea suddenly occurred to Old Sun, and it became uncontrollable. The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

First of all, a machinery department must have its own characteristics, which is the direction of its supervisor.

Just like the Ministry of First Machine Building, it is the largest and also the country's heavy industry department.

Like the Third Ministry of Machine Building, which specializes in equipment.

For example, the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building’s main focus was aviation.

As for the machinery factory, there is a lot of work going on right now.

The engine is one.

Machine tools, too. And some other projects.

Like the United Star Research Institute and the Arsenal, if the research results of these two were taken out, new factories could be formed in minutes.

Especially the United Star Research Institute, which has produced quite a few products.

Mr. Sun was thinking in his mind that if he could build a factory for tinplate, he could build at least two factories for alloys.
Each of these is nothing special, at most they can be considered as advantageous projects.

But combining these together will lay the foundation for the characteristics of the machinery factory.

In his opinion, the greatest feature of the machinery factory is the continuous innovation on this basis.

I have what others do not, and I am better than others.

Keep moving forward, keep developing, keep innovating.

Just like the current positioning of the Red Star Machinery Factory, a locomotive.

A locomotive that can drive the rapid development of related industries.

This is the characteristic of the machinery factory.

Secondly, becoming a machine department requires sufficient factory support.

There are resources, raw material processing, mechanical processing, and other supporting factories here.

This one
Maybe it is a problem for other people, just like when the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was established, the boss took his people to collect money everywhere, it was so difficult.

But in front of the Red Star Machinery Factory, it’s not a problem at all.

As long as the higher-ups ask them to form Xiaojiu.

He didn't dare to say anything else, but as for this guy Old Xia, he probably wouldn't feel any pain at all even if he sent all the factories under his command over there.

As for Lao Huang, he will not refuse, and will even give his full support.

This is the advantage of Red Star Machinery Factory.

The more Mr. Sun thought about it, the more he felt that Xiaojiu was the future direction of the Red Star Machinery Factory.

Looking at the people in the machinery factory, Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning are both in their prime, and there is a terrifying monster behind them. What’s more important is that this guy is probably not even thirty years old.

If this guy is given full power, anything can happen.

If this continues to develop at the current pace for another 30 or 40 years, the people in these machinery factories will probably all take off.

Do you want to build good relationships in advance?
Just like this time, if we can get along well, then I will think of him no matter what happens in the future, right?
Even if I can't beat Lao Xia, I'm still better than Lao Niu.

He glanced at Sun Guo, who was still standing with his mouth open, not reacting.

This guy is able to become the director of a branch factory, so he is obviously capable.

At this time, Sun Guo was still digesting the information.

We were just talking about the thresher, how come we're talking about setting up three factories the next moment?
patter
Sun Guo felt someone patted his thigh. He turned his head and saw Old Man Sun smiling at him.

"Boy, follow me carefully, come on."

Sun Guo nodded subconsciously, then hummed.

But what's the meaning of this incoherent statement?
When I looked at Mr. Sun again, I saw that he was leaning back in his chair and didn't seem to want to talk.

On the other side, Liu Huaimin heard the discussions around him, quickly came to his senses and looked at Yang Xiaotao beside him.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao had already seen the cause and effect.

Recovery from shock, and
After the two came to their senses and exchanged glances, they both nodded silently.

In any case, this is a good thing for the machinery factory.

One more branch factory means more production resources and more products can be produced.

What's more, this is the intention of the leaders above, so they dare not object.

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

When Mr. Chen saw that everyone had digested the thoughts, he spoke again.

Of course, his gaze stayed on Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao for a moment, and this matter would be explained in more detail later.

"Let's talk about the thresher first."

"As for the corn thresher, there are other arrangements."

Since Mr. Chen said so, Mr. Huang naturally had no objection.

Afterwards, Mr. Chen talked about the relevant precautions, and all departments must fully cooperate, especially the machinery factory must shoulder its own responsibilities.

Actual pictures and quality control must be maintained.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao both nodded in agreement.

At noon, Mr. Chen took his people and left the factory.

The focus will then be on the production of threshers.

As for the matter of the third branch of the Machinery Factory, we will talk about it after this time.

However, the top management of the machinery factory needs to prepare for this matter in advance.

After Liu Huaimin and his companion returned to the machinery factory, they called Yang Youning, Chen Gong and Wang Guodong to their office.

After closing the door, they started talking about the Sanfen Factory.

Yang Youning was supervising the production of threshers in a workshop. When he heard that Liu Huaimin was going to hold a meeting, he hurried over.

"Old Liu, what did the leader say at the meeting this time? Did he praise us?"

Yang Youning walked over to Yang Xiaotao and sat down, then casually picked up the cigarette in front of him and smoked it, then handed it to Chen Gong beside him.

"Praise and commendation, that's for sure."

"Mr. Tao also said that he would commend our researchers."

Liu Huaimin briefly explained the instructions given at the meeting, and everyone was very excited after listening to them.

Wang Guodong held the cigarette and looked at Yang Xiaotao, "The main credit this time is still yours. You can't escape a third-class merit."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said nothing.

Chen Gong nodded at the side, "Xiao Tao's contribution must be at least a third-class merit."

"If we go one step further, it's possible that our first branch factory will be awarded a third-class collective merit."

Yang Youning laughed and said, "So we have to do a good job this time and strive for more honors."

"Yes, yes, strive for more honors."

Wang Guodong was also laughing, but he found that Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, and he felt a little unsure.

At this time, Liu Huaimin heard several people say this, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Xiaotao's third-class merit is probably in jeopardy."
