Chapter 2067: Involution in the Machinery Factory
After more than a month of contact with Yang Xiaotao, Mr. Qin was completely convinced by his calmness and composure.

If such a big thing were placed on someone else, how could they keep calm?

But this guy acted as if nothing had happened, no matter how much you said, it was useless!

Fortunately, this guy is not doing nothing.

At least I went to Curry and did something.

He couldn't say it, let alone dare to say it.

Right now, we have to rely on Yang Xiaotao!

"By the way, how is the revision of your design going?"

Old Qin asked as he looked at the design drawing in Zhang Guanyu's arms.

It was this design drawing that made them make the wrong judgment.

But the fact that he was able to come up with this design by himself is enough to show his ability.

If I had known earlier, their previous engine design drawings were the result of the joint efforts of many people!
Zhang Guanyu blushed and felt a little ashamed when he heard this.

“I’m revising this!”

Zhang Guanyu said weakly, feeling a little unconfident.

At first, when he saw the engine design drawing that Mr. Yang took out, he thought it was worth a try.

But only after putting the two designs together did he discover the gap between them.

I thought it was good enough, but the drawings I produced were only half of Yang Xiaotao's.

This shows how naive my thinking is.

"It's okay. There are differences in people's abilities. We acknowledge the differences, but we won't ignore them."

"As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely surpass Yang Xiaotao!"

Old Qin was excited, but Zhang Guanyu just smiled.

Surpass Yang Xiaotao?
I dare not even think about it!

Seeing how calm Zhang Guanyu was, Mr. Qin became more and more satisfied, and then he began to think of poaching him.

But thinking that he still had to cooperate with the machinery factory and that Zhang Guanyu still had to study and train here, Old Qin suppressed what was in his mind.

His eyes turned to the young man following Liu Daming and others.

Wait until these people grow up a bit, then he will come back to harvest them.

Second workshop.

Chang Mingjie looked at the newly made Morning Star machine tool and ordered the worker beside him to check it.

Currently, Workshop 2 can produce two Morningstar machine tools every week.

This efficiency is already the normal level of the workshop. It is not that we cannot produce more, but that there are only so many workers who can produce, and we also have to produce other machine tools.

Therefore, according to the production ratio, two Morning Stars per week are fully in line with the current production efficiency.

"Director, when are we going to continue the experiment?"

The team leader next to him came to Chang Mingjie and asked.

The team leader is also an old man from the steel rolling mill.

I have the skills, but my educational level is a bit low, so I have never been able to meet the requirements for promotion.

However, if you can become a team leader, you will not be able to control your subordinates if you don’t have the skills.

Especially when welfare benefits are linked to job rank.

At this time, the team leader was talking about the research and development and improvement of machine tools.

Their second workshop also organized several attempts to improve the Morning Star machine tools, but there was no obvious improvement.

Even unexpected problems arose, which made the researchers in the second workshop dare not make decisions on their own.

Chang Mingjie remained silent when he heard the other party's question.

He is the workshop director, but he is also an engineer.

He is also one of the few engineers in the machinery factory.

Although I have served as a workshop director over the years, I have never stopped learning.

But compared with the development speed of the factory, the speed of progress feels like a turtle and it can never keep up.

As for comparing yourself with Yang Xiaotao, forget it and don't make yourself uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I heard that the work in the R&D department is almost finished."

"It's our turn next. Comrades, keep in good shape and don't let down your guard when the time comes."

The team leader nodded immediately, "We have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"You don't know, the guys in this workshop have been acting so arrogant recently, saying they want to make airplanes."

"Everyone is so proud."

The team leader said this with envy on his face.

Because they heard about this from Mr. Yang.

Since Mr. Yang said yes, we will definitely do it in the future.

Chang Mingjie smiled and said, "They are making airplanes, and the machine tools they use are also from our second workshop."

Upon hearing this, the team leader laughed.

Machine tools are the foundation.

"You're right."

Looking at the machine tool being tested in front of him, the team leader's expression changed and he suddenly said, "Director, you see, the other workshops now either produce aircraft, engines, or armored vehicles. If our factory expands in the future, will we set up new branches?"

Chang Mingjie was a little confused after hearing this.

The team leader smiled and said, "You see, Director Zhan has gone to another place to be the director of a branch factory. I think what Mr. Yang wants is to train you."

"I won't talk about Director Wang Fa. He must be General Manager Yang's confidant. If we have to build an armored vehicle factory in the future, it will definitely be him."

"Director, this machine tool can also be distributed. When the time comes to set up a branch factory, don't you care?"

Chang Mingjie frowned, but his heart was moved.

"I also heard that Director Zhang is currently designing his own engine blueprint. Although it is not as good as Mr. Yang's, Mr. Yang still praised it and said it was a sign of progress."

"And I heard that Director Zhang is not only designing engines, but also machine tools!"

The team leader felt that it was time to stop here.

In recent years, under the leadership of Chang Mingjie, the second workshop has made rapid progress and become an important pillar of the machinery factory.

Moreover, Chang Mingjie has obvious advantages over the other directors. He is an engineer himself and has sufficient experience in mechanics.

But he also has a huge disadvantage.

It's the arrogance that one carries, or the lack of emotional intelligence.

Especially in dealing with the relationship with superiors, there is still something lacking.

For example, Huang Degong from workshop 1, how did he get his current position? It’s because he had been clinging to General Manager Yang for a long time.

Starting from Workshop 11, he clearly stood on Yang Xiaotao's side. After Workshop 10 was established, he gave up the original position of director of Workshop 8 and took over as the director of Workshop 10.

Later, he gradually became the director of a workshop in a machinery factory. This was a workshop.

It is definitely an important position. Then there is Wang Fa, needless to say, he is definitely Yang Xiaotao's party.

Even Zhan Lei, who is not close to Yang Xiaotao, is a general under Yang Youning.

And what about Chang Mingjie?
He is said to be Yang Xiaotao's man, but he doesn't move around much on weekdays.

Not to mention that he is Yang Youning's man.

If we really have to classify it, it is probably similar to Secretary Liu.

But Secretary Liu is not the kind of person who is in charge of things, so the relationship between the two is not necessarily very close.

The reason why he said this today was to remind the other party that sometimes it is important to be with the right person.

As for whether Chang Mingjie could listen to it, that was not something he thought about.

The country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change.

If a person is really trapped, even eight oxen cannot pull him back.

Chang Mingjie remained calm and nodded gently after a long time.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

What Zhang Guanyu can do, he can also do, and he can do it better.

But the other party's behavior served as a reminder to him.

Sometimes, what you do has to be seen by your superiors.

Thinking of this, Chang Mingjie said a few words calmly, then left the workshop with his hands behind his back and walked towards the office.

As the workday was getting close, Yang Xiaotao put away the drawings on his desk and prepared to go home.

As for Lou Xiao'e, she had already run out to find Liu Lixue.

These two guys are not paying any attention at all in the machinery factory.

Fortunately, both of them are women, and everyone thought it was a relationship between sisters, so no one else thought about it that way.

After packing up the drawings, Yang Xiaotao was thinking about taking something to the slum, when he saw Chang Mingjie at the door smiling at him with a document in his hand.

"Mr. Chang, what's up?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised to see Chang Mingjie come in.

Normally, this person wouldn't come here.

"Boss Yang, I have an idea. Can you help me take a look?"

Chang Mingjie walked in with a smile and put the documents on the table.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "As for whether you want to help or not, just tell me directly."

"I have been researching machine tools and have some ideas."

Chang Mingjie explained his purpose, and Yang Xiaotao immediately understood what he was thinking.

"Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow and give you an answer then."

"Don't worry, just take some time to read it. These are just some ideas, and they may not be mature yet..."

Listening to Chang Mingjie's words, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, Zhang Guanyu's change made this guy anxious!

However, Yang Xiaotao was very happy about this.

Only when everyone is motivated can the machinery factory burst with vitality.

Only by rolling up the inside can more potential be stimulated.

He can also save some trouble.

The two chatted for a while, and Chang Mingjie left tactfully. Yang Xiaotao was well-known in the factory for coming to and leaving get off work on time.

After seeing Chang Mingjie off, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the drawings in his hand and nodded silently.

As expected of an engineer, his skills in designing drawings are much better than Zhang Guanyu's.

After a quick look, the design idea should be fine, which also shows that the other party has put a lot of effort into the machine tools.

"Once Alfat's machine tool is delivered, we can ask him to study it first!"

This is just the right time to add fuel to the fire for these people in the machinery factory!

After putting the drawings away, Yang Xiaotao got up and went out. He glanced at the secretary's office next door which was still lighted, and immediately went downstairs.

Others can roll, but he can't.

Otherwise, how are Lao Yang and the others going to survive?

Well, it’s all for internal unity.

"I have good intentions!"

Hasa country.

A train was traveling from west to east, heading towards Alashankou.

This is a freight train loaded with grain that departed from Persia. There are twelve train cars in total, filled with soybeans, wheat, corn and other grains.

Every carriage was packed, making it very difficult for the train to run.

The car has been driving for three days since it set out. Except for stopping to refuel and refill water along the way, the rest of the time it has been driving along the main line in Hasa, all the way directly to Alashankou.

In the train cab, the old driver, who was about sixty years old, was holding an exquisite wine jug and taking a sip from time to time.

As I get older, I don’t have as much energy as I used to.

If he hadn't developed this habit, he would have collapsed long ago.

Fortunately, after passing the mountain area ahead, I was able to rest on the platform for a few hours and recover some strength.

I took another sip and then I felt the warmth in my body.

It’s so cold today!

Even if the boy next to him kept throwing coal into the stove, it couldn't change the fact that it was cold.

After taking a sip of the fine kumis, he looked at the hard-working boy with a look of surprise.

He didn't understand. His men were obviously doing a good job, so why was the person suddenly replaced?
He's still a shabby kid.

Moreover, he is mute.

Probably a relative of a staff member.

As for being a relative of some big shot, that's impossible.

Because they won't be here.

"Kid, slow down, there's a mountainous area ahead, and if you go too fast you'll easily flip over!"

The old driver looked at the young man working hard and couldn't help but remind him.

Hearing the sound, the young man immediately put down his shovel and looked forward.

"Here, take a sip."

The old driver handed over the wine jug, and the young man hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, making some noises, which meant that he didn't know how to drink it.

"You can't do this!"

The old driver did not insist, but joked, "This guy on horseback can't even drink. Each generation is getting worse than the previous one!"

She sighed but didn't notice the smile on the young man's face.
