Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1705 Coordination Office

Machinery factory.

Trucks were parked at the door. They were tall and looked like the Optimus Prime produced by the Quancheng Automobile Factory.

At this moment, the driver was nervously doing the final check of the car.

Next to the car, the logistics staff were busy doing the final inventory.

There were many workers on both sides saying goodbye to their families.

Among these people, there are not only people from the main factory, but also from various branch factories. Upon learning that the factory would send people and supplies to support the disaster area, many people signed up to join the rescue.

However, considering the factory's production situation and the age and health problems of the staff, the machinery factory did not send many people, especially the chemical plant and pharmaceutical factory, which are currently short of staff.

The lumber mill did send quite a few apprentices, representing the machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao stood at the door of the security room, looking at the busy people, his face calm but with a hint of worry.

The last time we went to Shicheng, in order to speed up the process, all the armored vehicles of the Machinery Factory Security Department were withdrawn.

Later he was intercepted by Xu Jianghe.

Liang Zuoxin, who was originally planning to be in the new Equipment Security Department, had the same idea.

But unexpectedly, there was another earthquake.

As a result, there are only a few armored vehicles produced in the workshop now.

So this time, no armored vehicles were arranged, and instead, Optimus Prime was selected from the convoy.

Yang Xiaotao frowned not because he felt something was wrong. On the contrary, although Optimus Prime was loaded with a lot of weight, it ran just as well as the Jiefang trucks in Shanghai, and even the Yellow River heavy trucks were shorter than it.

So there should be no problem with transportation to the south this time.

However, what Yang Xiaotao is worried about is, after this withdrawal, what should he do if it happens again next time?
In the end, we can’t expect all tractors and tricycles to be used!

Yang Xiaotao was worried. After all, experts said that there might be many more earthquakes to come!
Looking at the trucks parked on the road outside the factory, those that were obviously smaller were the fleets from other factories.

This time when going to the south for disaster relief, the machinery factory was very generous and gave out the most things.

Among them was the textile factory’s fleet.

The two factories are close partners, so if they go together this time, they can take care of each other.

"Old Yang, I didn't expect it would be you who went this time!"

"I thought it was Xiao Yang!"

The director of the textile factory, Zhai Jing, was wearing a black jacket and had short hair, looking very capable.

Next to her were several leaders of the textile factory, who came together to see the team off.

The main purpose of my visit this time is to see someone off, but of course I also want to have a good exchange with the machinery factory.

Today, the machinery factory is a unit directly under the headquarters and its status is incomparable.

Even their textile factories need to adjust their mindsets and readjust their positioning.

It just so happened that they had just finished making a batch of tents and were going to send them over this time.

However, when Zhai Jing looked at the many tall trucks in the machinery factory and then at her own small truck, she still felt inferior.

Not only her, but also the directors and secretaries of several other factories had the same idea.

But there is no way. Nowadays, the only ones in the country that have the ability to equip such large trucks are the machinery factories in the whole city.

This is because the engine is provided by the machinery factory.

Of course, the close relationship between the two parties is also the main reason.

Building a good relationship with a machinery factory not only brings many benefits, it is also a win-win situation!
"Xiao Yang was originally going to go, but he is also needed for things here. I am an idle person, so I am making use of my spare time!"

Yang Youning was entertaining the guests on the side, while Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong were also greeting the guests not far away.

"Important thing? It can't be the engine of that plane!"

Zhai Jing suddenly laughed, with a hint of teasing on her face.

It was no secret in their circle that the machinery factory was going to produce aircraft engines.

However, everyone also understands that this aircraft engine is probably Yang Xiaotao's "willful act". Otherwise, with the experience of Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin, could they do such a thankless task?
As for whether the machinery factory can produce it, many people are still optimistic.

Yang Xiaotao has the ability, and as long as he puts his heart into it, it’s only a matter of time before he succeeds.

However, most people are not optimistic about whether this product can be used.

Especially with current domestic research, everyone is aware of the progress of each work, otherwise the plane would have taken off long ago.

Therefore, Zhai Jing and others felt that this aircraft engine, like the steam engine developed by the steel rolling mill in the past, could meet the domestic needs temporarily.

But to use it for national defense is just a pipe dream.

As for whether Yang Xiaotao will continue to improve in the future, it depends on subsequent developments.

After all, the engines of today's big trucks were developed step by step since that time!
Yang Youning did not respond. He really did not know how to answer these questions.

When he asked indirectly yesterday, I heard that he had stumbled on the first step and hasn't taken it yet.

This made his original confidence in Yang Xiaotao waver a little.

In fact, I have worked with Yang Xiaotao for many years, but I still have no clear impression of him.

Young, talented, or even stunningly talented is not an exaggeration.

At the same time, when encountering problems, he shows a maturity and stability that is not in line with his peers.

But if you say he is mature, he sometimes gets into the same troubles as young people, so it would be a good idea to describe him as enterprising.

Sometimes, the rope will jump violently.

The existence of this contradiction made him feel for a time that this guy was just an old monster in the skin of a young man.

Of course, this is just his thought, how could it be possible in reality?

"Lao Yang, the car is ready, be careful on the way!"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao's voice came from behind. Yang Youning immediately turned his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have seen this kind of scene before. It's nothing serious."

Yang Youning said it lightly, but he knew it in his heart.

Working in the disaster area is definitely more difficult than imagined.

"Director Zhai!"

Yang Xiaotao greeted Zhai Jing again.

Thanks to Director Wang's relationship, the two are quite close, and in private, they both call Aunt Zhai.

But now we are in a machinery factory, so it is better to use the formal name.

"I heard you adopted a girl?"

"Well, my nickname is Miaomiao, my real name is Yang Jianhua, and I am six years old this year."

"So small, ah!"

Zhai Jing sighed, didn't ask much about the child, and turned to talk about the situation in the factory.

The two of them chatted briefly on the side, and it was not convenient to say more at this time. Soon Liu Huaimin and others came over. After everyone met, they said goodbye to Yang Youning.

Yang Youning is usually a bit pretentious, but the situation in the disaster area is urgent now, so he didn't say much. Once the convoy is ready, they got in the car and set off.

After the convoy left the machinery factory, leaders from other factories also left one after another.

After Yang Xiaotao saw the people off at the gate, he returned to the machinery factory with Liu Huaimin.

After Yang Youning left, they had to share the tasks he was responsible for.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice. One person was missing, and the factory director was one of them. It was difficult for ordinary people to share the burden.

When Lou Xiao'e got back to the office, she brought over a pile of report documents. "So many?"

Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes. "Is that too much? It's only one day's!"

Yang Xiaotao looked down at the documents on his desk and couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder Lao Yang's hair is getting thinner and thinner. Is it okay to sit in the office all day like this?"

As he said this, he stood up, stretched his body, and walked out.

"I'll go to the workshop first to see if production has resumed!"

Lou Xiao'e was still thinking that Director Yang's hair was indeed thinner than before, but what did this have to do with sitting in an office?
It should be fine.

But before she could ask clearly, she realized that the person was gone and she reacted immediately.

"you…"

"You just want to be lazy!"

After realizing what was happening, Lou Xiao'e yelled in annoyance, but she was helpless because she was a secretary after all.

"How come I have such a leader?"

After leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao did not slack off.

First, we went to each workshop to check the production progress, and then the safety precautions. We don’t know how many earthquakes there will be in the future, nor do we know how big or small the earthquakes will be, but what is certain is that it is better to be prepared.

As long as preventive measures are in place and workers remain vigilant at all times, tragedies can be avoided.

As for possible losses, the machinery factory has also made preparations and will be able to resume production as soon as possible.

After visiting the workshop, Yang Xiaotao went to the logistics department for a tour. After going through each department, Yang Xiaotao had a general understanding of the general situation of the machinery factory and had an idea in his mind.

At present, the machinery factory is still executing according to the previous tasks, each workshop follows the task production, and each department cooperates with each other.

It can be said that the earthquake had little impact on the production of the main factory, and operations were proceeding as planned.

But when Yang Xiaotao returned to the office and was about to take his lunch box to the cafeteria to eat, Liu Huaimin hurried to his door.

"Xiao Tao, I just received a call from my superiors, and they are going to hold a mobilization meeting. Please come with me immediately."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and immediately took the briefcase handed over by Lou Xiaoe, went downstairs and got into the car.

"A mobilization meeting? For disaster relief?"

"Nine times out of ten."

"What else can our machinery factory produce?"

Liu Huaimin shook his head.

Both of them guessed something, but they both felt that what else could a machinery factory do besides producing people?
What the disaster areas need now are supplies, food, and tents. They have only a few supplies at most, but after two incidents, 70% to 80% of the stock has been sold, and even the workers' benefits for that month have been cancelled.

The rest will become safety stock. If all the assets are emptied out, what will the machinery factory eat?
It will be difficult to operate normally at that time.

After all, workers are also human beings and they have to feed their families.

Although under the guidance of the revolution, people can work on an empty stomach, but there are too many uncertainties.

Especially when operating machinery, when a person is weak, he cannot concentrate and accidents are likely to happen.

As a result, workers' productivity decreased, tasks were not completed, revolutionary construction was affected, and a vicious cycle was formed, which made the situation worse and worse.

Neither of them said much in the car, but they were thinking the same thing.

The machinery factory must maintain normal operation, only in this way can it avoid entering a vicious cycle.

However, they also understand that if they can see it, their superiors will definitely see it as well.

To maintain stability, we must maintain the current situation.

The car arrived in front of a small building. After Yang Xiaotao got off the car, he saw soldiers on duty at the gate and a wooden sign hanging on the wall next to it.

'Earthquake Relief Coordination Office!'

Isn't this a mobilization meeting?
How did it become the Coordination Office?

Yang Xiaotao frowned as he watched.

Liu Huaimin also saw the sign, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and walked inside.

There were many people rushing over in front and behind, many of whom looked familiar. However, everyone had something on their mind at this time, so they just nodded after seeing me and didn't say much.

When the two arrived at the hall, they saw registration staff on both sides come forward. After asking about registration, they were given two admission passes and were led in by staff.

When the two walked inside, many people had already sat down. Among them, Yang Xiaotao saw Zhai Jing, whom he had just met.

When the staff brought the two to their seats, Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao were surprised again.

Because this seat is in the first row and not at the edge.

This is no ordinary matter. Normally, when the superiors convene such an important meeting, there must be many leaders attending the meeting. Asking them to be here would not be an arrangement unless there is something important.

The two looked at each other and realized that this meeting was unusual.

After the staff left, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin immediately left their seats while there was still time in the meeting.

"Aunt Zhai, you are here too."

Yang Xiaotao went straight to Zhai Jing, sat next to her, and started chatting.

Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Aunt Zhai, what happened at this mobilization meeting?"

Yang Xiaotao had heard from Director Wang that Zhai Jing was capable, otherwise she would not have become the director of a textile factory, and a person with real power.

But to be honest, the man behind her is the most crucial person.

As for how critical it was, Director Wang simply said, "The superior of Director Yu's superior in your hospital."

Yang Xiaotao understood.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's solemn look, Zhai Jing's face also became serious.

She stood straight, just lowered her head slightly, and then said in a low voice, "This time, the mobilization bypassed the bosses of various machinery departments and directly summoned the factory leaders."

"What do you mean? Mr. Huang and the others don't know?"

Yang Xiaotao's heart suddenly rose. Originally, he and Liu Huaimin thought that they were attending this meeting because it was directly under the headquarters of their machinery factory.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

I looked up and around, and then I saw that they were not the original leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building Factory. As for those who came in later, many of them were familiar faces.

Yang Xiaotao thought of something, then lowered his head, "Aunt Zhai, who chaired this meeting?"

Zhai Jing nodded. Yang Xiaotao obviously saw the crux of the matter when he asked this.

But she didn't know either, as time was too tight and the person at home was busy with things in the south. He just told her to be cautious and didn't say anything more.

"I don't know."

Zhai Jing said softly, then glanced at Yang Xiaotao, "In a while, no matter what happens, don't be the first to take action."

“Also, make your decision carefully.”

Having said that, he said no more.

People have come and sat down around.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I understand."

I returned to my seat and sat down. I didn't know many people in the front row, but everyone sat upright and had no intention of communicating.

Yang Xiaotao sat quietly, pondering the meaning of "cautious".

After a while, Liu Huaimin came over and sat down.

But he looked very serious.
