Chapter 1654 Benefits

"What are you two talking about? You look so happy."

Liu Huaimin and Tony Yang came over. Liang Zuoxin took over the records from Liu Lixue and Lou Xiaoe and replied with a smile, "We were just talking about security work and I have some new ideas."

"You guys talk first, I'll go sort it out."

As he spoke, he took the records of Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e in his hand, nodded to Liu Huaimin and the others, then turned and ran out.

It looked like his butt was on fire.

"Lao Liang, there will be a meeting later."

Tony Yang shouted from behind.

"I'll be there in a minute."

After saying that, the person had already ran out.

"This Lao Liang is usually a very stable person. What happened today?"

Yang Youning said suspiciously, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Are you guys doing something again?"

"It's all about training!"

Yang Xiaotao stood up, stretched his arms and twisted his waist, while Lou Xiaoe and Liu Lixue ran away immediately.

"You finally came back before the New Year. I thought you wouldn't come back!"

Liu Huaimin walked to the side and sat down. Yang Youning nodded, but stood aside.

"We have been very busy these past few days."

"Mr. Chen was busy with the annual report, so he threw the task to the people below. Lao Liu and I would contact the people above, consult Mr. Huang, and take care of the people below..."

Yang Youning was scolding on the side, and Liu Huaimin nodded from time to time to show his agreement.

Yang Xiaotao understood what it meant instantly.

"Just tell me what you two have to say. I'm prepared!"

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin looked at each other and then laughed.

"Look at this, this is awareness! He is indeed an excellent worker!"

Yang Youning rubbed his hands and smiled, "Mr. Wang from the Seventh Machine Department said a few days ago that the factory in Shicheng broke the machine tool in order to screw in the screws for us."

"The solution is either send someone to fix it or give me one."

"Old Liu and I are too busy to deal with this matter. Since you are back, I will leave it to you!"

After saying this, he patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder, looking very proud.

Yang Xiaotao, however, looked helpless. Mr. Wang from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was a stubborn person. If he didn't take advantage, he would be at a disadvantage!
Why repair machine tools?
It's obvious that you don't want to tighten the screws anymore!

If I make a new one, wouldn’t that mean I’ll have two?

Isn't this taking advantage?
It's a headache for anyone who gets involved in this matter.

"Okay, I'll call them after the New Year and ask them to send the machine back so we can repair it."

Liu Huaimin and Tony Yang exchanged a glance, and Liu Huaimin suddenly laughed, "An old fox versus a young fox, this is going to be a show to watch."

They talked for a while, and then Chen Gong and Wang Guodong walked in from outside, followed by Wang Fa, Chang Mingjie and others.

"I heard your laughter from far away, what are you talking about?"

Chen Gong was the same as Yang Youning, his voice arrived before he actually came.

"Tell me when you, Old Chen, will treat us to a meal!"

"We've been treating you all along, it's your turn now!"

Yang Youning greeted with a smile, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, yes, once you open this warehouse, it will be the God of Wealth of our machinery factory, and everyone is waiting for it!"

"Don't!"

Chen Gong quickly said, "Dinner is no problem. I've been wanting to treat everyone to a meal for a long time."

"But I am not worthy of being called the God of Wealth."

"Come to think of it, I'm just an old warehouse owner, what's the God of Wealth?"

"The one who can really make money and bring benefits to everyone is the God of Wealth!"

"Big guy, right?"

After hearing this, several people smiled and nodded, then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Youning suddenly turned around and said, "I think Lao Chen said this because he wants you to treat us!"

"That's how I feel, too!"

Everyone laughed. Nowadays, the status of the Red Star Machinery Factory is getting higher and higher. Even if they become a director, their rank is no worse than that of a factory manager of an ordinary factory.

After talking for a while, people started to come in from outside.

When the workers saw a few people gathered together, they were not only curious but also envious.

"Let's get ready!"

Liu Huaimin saw more and more people entering the hall and couldn't help but speak.

Yang Youning nodded, then looked around, "This hall is still a little small!"

"Yeah, maybe we'll have to make a bigger one in the future!"

Chen Gong nodded in agreement.

Several people came to the podium and waited for the meeting to begin.

nine in the morning.

The synagogue was already full of people.

In the front row are the section chiefs of various departments.

Following them are the backbones of each department and the people who received the awards.

At the back were the workers who were selected to participate.

This has been the pattern in previous years.

Liu Lixue from the Propaganda Department dressed formally and came to the podium to preside over the meeting.

The opening speech is still Yang Youning's job.

Everyone was already used to it, and half an hour later, Liu Huaimin gave a brief work report, mainly talking about the achievements made in the past year.

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao talked about next year's goals, plans or tasks.

It's almost like a pie in the sky.

All these things are in his mind, so Yang Xiaotao doesn't need to prepare any information and can do them easily.

However, as soon as the "blueprint" for the future was mentioned, applause immediately broke out from below.

Perhaps, this is the change that an era of hope brings to people.

Finally, Liang Zuoxin gave a report on factory safety, but of course he only said a few brief words.

After the four people finished speaking, the award ceremony began.

This is also the climax of the entire meeting.

First there are rewards from superiors, such as collective honors and personal honors.

What excellent collectives, excellent groups, and excellent individuals.

Improve the collective and improve the individual.

All kinds of role models, all kinds of outstanding.

According to the list, each candidate went on stage one by one to receive the award and received the reward they deserved.

Yang Xiaotao and others even became award presenters, with one group going down and another group coming up.

Afterwards, these photos will become the material for the machinery factory memorial hall.

Of course, Tony Yang is now considering turning the memorial hall into a memorial hall.

By the time all the steps were finished, it was almost noon.

"Comrades!" Tony Yang came to the podium again with the microphone in his hand. He took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and looked excited.

"To thank the comrades for their efforts this year and to continue to fight next year."

"Our Red Star Machinery Factory's superiors have unanimously decided to provide additional New Year benefits to the factory's workers today."

"Now please invite Deputy Director Chen to come to the stage and read it."

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao felt that the applause at this time was louder and more intense than any previous applause.

"Comrades."

Chen Gong had a smile on his face.

"The benefits we have obtained are all the result of our comrades' hard work and efforts."

Chen Gong finally got the chance to speak, and although he did not speak for half an hour, he started by praising the worker comrades, then went on to praise the higher-level leaders, and finally rose to the revolutionary level.

He talked for five or six minutes without repeating himself, which showed that he had a strong inner strength.

"For this purpose, we prepared one pound of pork, one pair of shoes, one pair of socks and ten pounds of coarse grains for each comrade in the machinery factory."

Bang bang bang bang
In the dull meeting hall, there was a sudden burst of applause.

At first, the machinery factory had a lot of New Year's goods, and this benefit was especially important to everyone.

It contains both food and meat, and the shoes can be worn out during the Chinese New Year. They are valuable and give you face.

After the meeting, long queues began to form outside each workshop to receive benefits.

After Yang Xiaotao followed Yang Youning and others out of the meeting hall, they chatted for a few words, then drove away from the machinery factory with the benefits reserved for himself.

Rushed to Ran's house.

We agreed to have lunch at Ran's house this afternoon, but Ran's father just came back and we haven't seen him yet.

The car arrived outside the slum, and Yang Xiaotao walked into the yard carrying a lot of things.

Ran family.

Ms. Cui sat in the yard and chatted with a few old ladies.

She had already learned the whole story from Yang Xiaotao. Although she felt uncomfortable keeping the secret from her, the matter was finally resolved and she didn't say anything more.

But when talking about Comrade Lao Jin, although he said this and that were not good, everyone could hear the deep concern in his words.

Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing took Duanwu and his two siblings to play in the yard, while Zhang Qing followed Ran Qiuye to help in the house.

When Yang Xiaotao came in, Zhang Qing immediately stepped forward and took the things in his hand.

"So many things."

Ran Qiuye wiped his hands and came over to take a look. "Is this pork? Such a big piece!"

As he said this, he took it from Yang Xiaotao and tried it. It weighed at least seven or eight kilograms.

“Factory welfare.”

"Brother, didn't you distribute New Year's goods?"

Zhang Qing was curious, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, so this is a benefit."

"Brother, you can arrange for me to work in the machinery factory, in the publicity department, and I'll be an announcer with Sister Xue."

Zhang Qing rolled his eyes and walked forward, pulling Yang Xiaotao's arm.

"You? Then you should ask your aunt."

"Humph!"

As he said this, he picked up the egg sausage in his other hand and walked towards the kitchen.

But Ran's mother came over and looked at the pile of things and said something for Zhang Qing, "It's good for Xiaoqing to go to the machinery factory. At least the benefits are in place."

Then he said to the inner room, "The machinery factory is still better. Unlike someone, his New Year gift is just a pair of couplets."

Ran Qiuye listened and smiled, glancing into the room. Yang Xiaotao understood, put down his things and walked in.

"dad!"

In the room, Ran's father was sitting on a stool, reading a book in his hand.

Seeing Ran’s father, Yang Xiaotao walked forward and sat down.

Mr. Ran's face looked a little haggard, and his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"coming."

"Is the matter in Shanghai over?"

Father Ran put down the book and took out tea leaves from the end of the bed. Yang Xiaotao hurriedly took over and made tea and poured water.

"Well, it's all over."

Father Ran nodded. He also learned about what happened in Shanghai from Ran Qiuye.

Deep down, the more I looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied I became.

Nowadays, it's rare to find a son-in-law who wants to please his father-in-law.

"By the way, Dad, our machinery factory has prepared some gifts, and I would like to trouble you to help deliver them."

"A gift? For whom?"

"Don't think too much about it. They are just some people who helped us last time. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to them."

Yang Xiaotao said this and took a sip of the tea.

This was also Yang Xiaotao's idea, to let the machinery factory set aside some benefits and give them to those who had helped them.

This is not limited to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, but faces all those who help.

Relationships need to be maintained, otherwise it will be difficult to speak up when needed.

Especially talents, these require a good foundation.

Moreover, the things Yang Xiaotao will do in the future will require more and more people, so he needs to establish good relationships in advance.

"Who is there?"

Father Ran knew Yang Xiaotao's purpose. If they really wanted to send someone, the machinery factory could go there themselves, but that would be bad for the reputation of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

With his help, there will be fewer concerns in this regard.

"Not much."

Yang Xiaotao chuckled, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which were listed twenty or thirty names from top to bottom. Ran's father was watching from the side and his face twitched.

"This is Director Wang Xuebin, Uncle Han Sanfeng. Oh, and he has two young comrades under him. They solved our math problems for us. They are amazing."

"These people came to help us solve the smelting of alloys."

"This is for Uncle Li, Li Chengjun."

"I have to go to the Agricultural Science Academy this afternoon. I'm sorry to bother you with this."

As Yang Xiaotao continued to speak, Ran's father felt the stool under his butt getting a little hot.

This year, the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building suffered a lot of losses due to several failed experiments, and the benefits it issued were not much.

Leaders like them take the lead in providing benefits to the workers below, which is also what Ran's mother meant just now.

After all, in the whole yard, as long as there are workers at work, who doesn’t bring back electrical appliances? At the very least, there are three pounds of bread and dumplings for one meal.

He was so good that he brought back a pair of couplets.

Can't this thing be written by anyone with hands?

Especially my own son-in-law, when did he ever buy couplets?

"Okay, when the time comes, you guys send the stuff to the Seventh Ministry of Machinery, and I'll go talk to Lao Li."

Although he said this, Father Ran still felt somewhat uneasy.

If Mr. Wang knew about this, he would be so embarrassed.
Forget it, I still have the nerve to do that!

I was upset today because of the review, and I watched a very frustrating football game.

I feel so uncomfortable.
