Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1842: Noble Sentiments

After Yang Youning introduced the situation, the next step was for the personnel to accept their fate, which was also the most exciting moment for everyone.

Liu Huaimin coughed and said, "After discussion by our superiors, Comrade Zhan Lei, the former director of the third workshop, was appointed as the new director!"

Bang bang bang bang
Applause broke out, and everyone thought to themselves that it was indeed so.

Wang Fa and others gave Zhan Lei a round of congratulatory applause, and Zhan Lei also looked up and greeted him with a smile.

"First of all, I would like to thank Secretary Liu, General Manager Yang, and Director Yang for their trust! Entrusting me with this important task is an affirmation of my work and also a spur. I will work diligently in my position, perform my duties, fight for the revolution, and work hard to build the machinery factory..."

"Well, I, Old Lei, won't say anything else to express my gratitude. I'll treat you to a table tonight. Please don't be polite!"

As soon as the words fell, laughter was heard in the originally serious meeting room.

"This is the old Lei we know!"

"You said it was so good just now, I thought it was because of your high position that your vision has been elevated. I almost thought that Lao Lei has made progress!"

"Lao Lei, don't forget your brothers when you go to Yanzhou!"

"If Lao Lei misses us, don't go. I'll go for you..."

Everyone was talking at once, and it was clear how popular Zhan Lei was in the machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Yang Youning, who had a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted himself.

After everyone paused, Yang Youning spoke, "After Comrade Zhan Lei left, the machinery factory also needs to make personnel adjustments!"

After the words were spoken, the venue became quiet again.

Those sitting in the back row were all worried. Obviously, someone needed to fill the position left by Zhan Lei.

This position will most likely be filled by the deputy directors selected from each workshop, and the most likely candidates are the two deputy directors of the original workshop three.

Everyone was looking at Yang Youning, and many of them had sweat on their hands.

"According to the unanimous decision of the machinery factory leadership!"

"Comrade Ma Jun, former deputy director of the third workshop, was conscientious and hardworking in his work, simple and serious, and possessed the qualities of an excellent revolutionary worker..."

"Comrade Ma Jun is specially appointed as the director of the third workshop!"

“I hope Comrade Ma Jun can continue to work hard and lead all the workers in Workshop 3 to strive for excellence!”

Papapa

Behind the crowd, Ma Jun had a look of disbelief on his honest face, but he quickly realized that this should be Zhan Lei's recommendation, and he immediately nodded excitedly.

"Thank you Secretary Liu, thank you General Manager Yang, thank you Director Yang, thank you Director Chen..."

Ma Jun felt like pie in the sky had fallen into his mouth. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Apart from expressing his gratitude, there was nothing else to say!
After the appointment was read out in the meeting, the business was considered over. Except for Zhan Lei and a few others who stayed, everyone else returned to their respective posts.

Soon, the news about the personnel changes in the machinery factory spread immediately, and the Human Resources Department also posted a notice, which immediately cleared up all the speculation in the machinery factory, and then they began to discuss the newly appointed Zhan Lei and Ma Jun.

In the conference room, after several people congratulated each other again, Zhan Lei thanked Yang Xiaotao, Yang Youning and others, and finally invited them to dinner in the evening.

Yang Xiaotao, Yang Youning and others naturally did not refuse.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao took out two boxes of cigarettes and placed them on the table, then sat aside.

When Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and the other four saw Yang Xiaotao, they knew that he had something to say, so they sat down aside.

Chen Gong picked up a box, opened it, gave one to Wang Guodong, and the remaining box was taken by Yang Youning.

Several people lit up cigarettes and the room was soon filled with smoke.

Yang Xiaotao sat aside and said, "There is something we need to discuss!"

"I went to the pharmaceutical factory yesterday and learned some information..."

Yang Xiaotao then told the story of the medicinal wine, and also made it clear that it would be used for export to earn foreign exchange.

As for the pharmaceutical factory's matters regarding western medicine, Yang Xiaotao did not say anything, after all, nothing had been decided yet.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning looked at each other and exchanged glances.

They knew about the medicinal wine in Yang Xiaotao's home.

What can I say about that thing? Use it once and you'll think about it twice. It's good when you use it. Men feel proud and women feel good about it.

But after it’s used up, only those who are tired will know!

After all, we are not young anymore.

But it doesn’t mean they don’t like it!
Among the few people, only Liang Zuoxin, who had a strong body due to regular exercise, was not very interested in Yang Xiaotao's medicinal wine.

At the beginning, the other people asked Yang Xiaotao for advice.

But later they found out that the wine and herbs needed for this medicinal wine were not cheap. Even though Yang Xiaotao was wealthy, they were too embarrassed to ask for it!
If I buy it with money, wouldn’t that be too distant?
So now, as long as their family members don’t take the initiative to express it, they won’t ask for it.

Of course, the family members didn’t know about the existence of this medicinal wine. They just thought it was a personal ability. After all, it involved personal secrets, and everyone knew it tacitly!
This time, I didn’t expect that Yang Xiaotao would actually prepare to take it out.

This is to be dedicated to the pharmaceutical factory and to the country!

And now the country encourages childbirth.

They have all used this thing, and it has a significant effect on fertility!

I thought this guy would treat it as a family heirloom and leave it to his family.

Now it’s actually taken out, which is really unexpected!
"Boy, when did you become so enlightened? You have noble sentiments!"

Yang Youning took a deep puff on the cigarette butt, then shook his head and sighed that he was still not as good as this guy!
"What time? I've always been like this, okay!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao took out another box of cigarettes. He realized that the previous two boxes were not enough to share!

When Chen Gong and Wang Guodong heard Yang Xiaotao say this, they supported Yang Xiaotao's actions in their hearts, but they just wanted to listen to what this guy said.

At the same time, they were looking forward to it. If it was really made, they could buy some and keep them at home as a reserve.

However, considering the things soaked in the medicinal wine, they are probably not cheap.

"If this is to be done as you say, we need to get approval from our superiors first!"

Liu Huaimin thought more about it and said, "After all, this matter involves wine, medicine and other materials, which are all domestically controlled materials."

"So we need to ask the higher-ups for instructions."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "This is also the reason why I discussed this with everyone!"

Yang Youning nodded, then frowned and asked, "I remember you said that many of the medicines in this medicinal wine are precious medicinal materials. If this is mass-produced, can it be done?"

Chen Gong and Wang Guodong also looked over. "Yes, this wine is easy to make. We can just find a winery to make it!" "But this medicinal material cannot be made in a short time!"

"Especially precious medicinal materials, which are even rarer. And it would be a bit of a waste to use them to make this!"

When Yang Xiaotao heard everyone say this, he knew that they were thinking wrongly, so he started to explain.

"The medicinal wine I gave you this time is a shortened version."

"Abridged version?"

Several people exclaimed, and Yang Youning's eyes widened. He had just been praising this boy in his heart for having a change of heart and being selfless.

In the blink of an eye, why did they start adding water?

Fuck your sentiments!

"I said, pay attention!"

“Although we are selling overseas, we still have to pay attention to word of mouth!”

Chen Gong nodded after hearing this, "Yes, you need to think about this carefully!"

"If it doesn't work, forget it. We don't want to make that money!"

Wang Guodong also tried to persuade him. He didn't want Yang Xiaotao's reputation to be damaged because of this matter, especially with the current situation in the country, some people were always watching!
"I know, you think I'm stupid!"

Yang Xiaotao took the reactions of several people into consideration and explained, "Although this has reduced some of the effects, the effect is only slightly worse, not non-existent."

"Besides, if quality doesn't work, quantity will make up for it. This thing varies from person to person. As long as it works, they will be willing to open their wallets."

"Really useful?"

Yang Youning asked, wanting to be sure in order to avoid wasting money.

“It’s definitely effective!”

Yang Xiaotao gave the answer and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is no small matter. Tell the machinery factory and prepare in advance. Then prepare the report!"

"I'll call Mr. Chen and arrange a time for us to report!"

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.

After they finished talking, they left the meeting room.

Back in the office, Lou Xiao'e was gossiping with Liu Lixue about the Yanzhou branch of the machinery factory. Apart from the old man Zhan Lei, the focus was more on the new workshop director Ma Jun.

Besides, the deputy director has been promoted, so someone has to be found to fill the deputy director's position!

I heard that many people are eyeing this position.

The two were chatting about gossip in the workshop when they saw Yang Xiaotao walk in.

There has been a lot of work going on in the machinery factory recently, so Yang Xiaotao has not spent much time in the office.

Of course, Lou Xiao'e still had a lot of work to do, but without Yang Xiaotao in the room, she had one less person to talk to.

So Liu Lixue would come over and sit with her when she had nothing to do.

Yang Xiaotao walked in and heard the two of them talking and laughing, "Who are you two gossiping about again?"

"Mr. Yang!"

Liu Lixue lowered her head and greeted him. She was not as familiar with Yang Xiaotao as Lou Xiao'e, who could sometimes be very casual with him.

"We're talking about work, not gossip!"

Lou Xiao'e spoke from the side.

"I'm not deaf, I heard what you said!"

Yang Xiaotao glared at Lou Xiaoe and sat down on the chair.

Lou Xiao'e was not afraid either. Now she said stubbornly to Liu Lixue, "We are really talking about work, you see..."

He turned around and moved a pile of documents on the table to Yang Xiaotao's desk, "These are the tasks assigned by the superiors!"

"We are so busy in our first workshop that we don't even have time for lunch, and the work in another branch is also going crazy..."

"We are still adding more now. And in the south, they say the rice is almost ripe, so they are pushing for it..."

Lou Xiao'e was speaking from the side, and her subtext was that she had been very busy during this period.

Yang Xiaotao took the document, flipped through it, and then asked, "What's the situation in Workshop 1 now?"

"Running at full capacity, your aircraft engine is out of service!"

"so much?"

Lou Xiaoe nodded.

"What about the other factories? Didn't they let the factories below do it?"

Yang Xiaotao frowned. The issue of productivity was considered at the beginning, so he specifically looked for Mr. Xia and asked them for help. Could it be that they failed?

Lou Xiao'e explained Yang Xiaotao's confusion, "The factories under the First Ministry of Machine Building have also started to move, but this time there are too many orders, too fast and too urgent, and they are too busy to handle it!"

"I see. I guess this is the period of time. It will be fine after a while!"

Yang Xiaotao understood the current situation.

It was still because the domestic demand was too great. Although the First Ministry of Machine Building had many factories, they were still pitifully few when spread across the vast land of the country.

In addition, the production of threshers requires the allocation of resources, especially steel, which is an important national resource. Even the Ministry of First Machine Building cannot do it just by taking out the resources.

It would be great if a province could have three or five factories responsible for production!

And the farther away you are, the longer the time will be.

If you want to complete the task as quickly as possible, you can only ask the factory that has completed production first to help complete the task.

As a result, the pressure is definitely put on the machinery factory.

However, I believe that it won’t be long before this situation is alleviated once all localities have made arrangements.

Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment, then picked up a piece of paper and pen and wrote a note, then handed it to Lou Xiaoe, "Starting tomorrow, let the first workshop enter the attack mode, the night shift production will be subsidized according to the previous subsidies, and the logistics and food will be fully guaranteed!"

"If anyone in other workshops wants to make money, they can apply, and the directors of each workshop will coordinate the work."

Lou Xiao'e took the approval note and nodded immediately. This kind of thing happened frequently in the past and there was a precedent to follow.
