Chapter 2223 This is Popularity

After leaving Chen Lao's office, Yang Xiaotao was walking towards the command center when he saw Liang Zuoxin coming up from downstairs. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he waved his hand and called out, "Xiaotao."

"Lao Liang, what's going on?"

Liang Zuoxin came up and said, "The guard called and said your grandfather is here and wants to see you."

"Who?"

"Your grandpa."

Yang Xiaotao slapped his thigh. The last time Lou Xiaoe mentioned this, he was so busy that he forgot to return the call.

Now it’s good, people can find the machinery factory directly.

"I gonna go see."

Without bothering to ask, Yang Xiaotao ran out with an umbrella.

The gate of the machinery factory.

Comrade Lao Jin wore a straw hat and a village raincoat. From his appearance, he looked like an old farmer.

At this moment, standing in the security room, looking towards the factory, the water under my body dripped into a puddle.

However, Lao Jin didn't care at all, because the feeling the machinery factory gave him at the moment was just like the feeling of fighting spirit when the country was just founded.

This cannot be blocked by rain.

This is not something that can be achieved by just one or two people.

This is the atmosphere created by the entire factory.

He was very familiar with this smell.

This is what the Shanghai Automobile Factory used to be like.

In this environment, workers' abilities can be maximized, even beyond their normal level.

It’s just that this kind of atmosphere is rarely seen in recent years.

Seeing the situation in the machinery factory, Lao Jin couldn't help but sigh, "The leaders of the machinery factory are extraordinary."

"Grandpa!"

At this time, a familiar voice was heard outside, and Comrade Lao Jin saw Yang Xiaotao running over with an umbrella.

"Why are you here?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Comrade Lao Jin, then looked him over and found that nothing was wrong. Then he became nervous again, "Is there something wrong?"

Seeing the worried look on Yang Xiaotao's face, Lao Jin quickly took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile, "It's nothing, everyone in the family is fine."

Then he said seriously, "I came here to help you."

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to say, but he knew this was not the place to talk.

"Grandpa, let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

Lao Jin didn't say much and followed Yang Xiaotao inside.

The two of them came to the office. When Lao Jin entered the room, he saw a camp bed standing on the side. He then looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "Is this yours?"

Yang Xiaotao was holding a towel and nodded after listening.

Old Jin looked at Lou Xiao'e who was busy working beside him with her head down.

Following Lao Jin's gaze, Yang Xiaotao immediately rolled his eyes.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

Handing the towel to him, Yang Xiaotao began to ask.

Lao Jin wiped his face with a towel and said, "Didn't I tell you to come and help you?"

"help me?"

Yang Xiaotao handed the hot water to her and said, "Just follow your grandma and enjoy the sights and sounds."

"You little bastard, you look down on your grandpa, don't you?"

Yang Xiaotao walked to the side and sat down, then took out a cigarette, "How dare I, you are this, I don't mean to look down on you."

Yang Xiaotao gave a thumbs up and spoke very sincerely.

"Go away, stop fooling me here."

"I told you, I'm here to help you this time."

Comrade Lao Jin put the water cup aside, then took the cigarette from Yang Xiaotao's hand, took two puffs, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Comrade Lao Jin didn't seem to be joking, Yang Xiaotao also put away his joking expression.

After smoking half a cigarette, Lao Jin said, "I was very happy when I heard about your work that day when you told Qiu Ye about it."

Comrade Lao Jin patted Yang Xiaotao's thigh with an expression that said "my child has a promising future."

But based on Yang Xiaotao's understanding, it is difficult to imagine Comrade Lao Jin's "expression" at that time.

"Then I thought, as a relative, if I don't help now, when will I help?"

“So, I wanted to help you.”

Speaking of this, Comrade Lao Jin was particularly excited.

"But, I'm so unlucky that I can't even drink water. I can't even return to Sijiu City."

"I have been waiting in the village for several days, and finally got a reply today, and was allowed to come up."

"By the way, why didn't you help me talk to you last time I called you?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard Lao Jin ask this, he was panicked, but his expression remained unchanged. He quickly said, "I told you, I told you."

"But there is a rule from above that people from the villages below must report three days in advance if they want to enter the city."

"This is an order. It's useless for me to say it."

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Comrade Lao Jin felt much better.

"Since it's an order, there's nothing we can do about it. So, let's get down to business."

Yang Xiaotao felt relieved when he saw Lao Jin not pursuing the matter. Then he saw Lao Jin leaning sideways to put out the cigarette.

"Let me ask you, aircraft manufacturing, who is your chief commander?"

"Yes, my superiors called me, and I can't do anything about it."

"What can I do? Just do it well."

Lao Jin frowned, "Don't feel complacent, and don't be proud."

"Since your superiors have asked you to be the commander-in-chief, this is a spur to you, don't you understand?"

"understand!"

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao dared not say anything else.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's serious expression, Lao Jin continued to ask, "Let me ask you, have all the production links of the aircraft been arranged properly?"

"Well, basically all the tasks have been arranged."

"Our machinery factory is also involved in the manufacturing. The other parts are handled by the local authorities, and we coordinate them here."

When it comes to business, Yang Xiaotao is unambiguous.

Old Jin listened and nodded seriously. After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Then let me ask you, have you found all the facilities and instruments in the plane?" Hearing Old Jin's question, Yang Xiaotao suddenly looked at Old Jin seriously, "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"

He came all the way here, and even applied to enter the city several days in advance, and today he came in the rain. Yang Xiaotao felt that the grandfather in front of him was definitely not here to play at the machinery factory.

"Let me tell you this."

Comrade Lao Jin said solemnly, "I dare not say that all, but at least half of the research and development of our country's machinery, electromechanical or advanced equipment are in Shanghai."

"Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Nowadays, Shanghai is not only an economic leader, but also a leader in the field of science and technology.

Stronger than the four-nine cities.

"I, your grandpa, have lived in Shanghai for most of my life."

“I haven’t done many big things, but I have been traveling between factories.”

Lao Jin suddenly sighed deeply, "I've been through a lot of hardships and have spent most of my life in Shanghai."

"So, I am familiar with some people in Shanghai."

Hearing what Lao Jin said, Yang Xiaotao immediately stood up and said, "Xiao'e, go and call Director Wu, Director Li, Director Zhang, and Team Leader Wang."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e ran out immediately, and then the sound of footsteps was heard in the corridor.

Yang Xiaotao sat down and looked at Lao Jin with a little more expectation. "Grandpa, there are indeed many parts of this plane that require the participation of Shanghai. Do you know them all?"

Lao Jin chuckled, "I can't say I know them all, but I've dealt with them all."

"When I followed Chief Chen to Shanghai to take over the work there, I was completely in the dark. Later, since we all came from the same place, we had to help each other, and only then did we stabilize the situation in Shanghai little by little."

"Later, some people did not fall in the hail of bullets on the battlefield, but were killed by sugar-coated bullets. Alas~"

Old Jin talked about what happened in the past, and Yang Xiaotao listened quietly.

"Xiao Tao, your grandfather was able to get to where he is today because of one sentence: serve the people."

"Remember, no matter how high your position is, no matter how much power or money you have, never forget these words."

Lao Jin patted Yang Xiaotao's hand and said, "Men will only regret it after they have suffered a loss."

"But by then, it's already too late. Do you understand?"

Yang Xiaotao held Lao Jin's dry hand and said, "I know, Grandpa. I know."

Lao Jin nodded.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and then Wu Zhe, Li Haonan, Wang Xushan and Zhang Guanyu came in one after another.

"Mr. Yang."

Everyone asked, and then looked at Lao Jin next to them.

When Lou Xiao'e came to see them just now, she mentioned Lao Jin's identity, Yang Xiaotao's grandfather.

So several people showed respect.

"You guys sit down."

Yang Xiaotao asked them to sit down, and then introduced them, "This is the old secretary of the Shanghai Automobile Factory. He came here this time to see if he can help us."

"Director Wu, please tell us about the situation of our aircraft and which ones require cooperation from the factories in Shanghai."

Wu Zhe blurted out immediately after hearing it.

"Mr. Yang, most of the internal components of our aircraft are made in factories in Shanghai."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lao Jin, then continued to ask, "Tell me a few."

"Yes!"

"The first one is the glass of the airplane."

"Glass?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Yes, this glass is indeed a problem."

"When an airplane is traveling too fast, it will create friction with the air, and the surface pressure and temperature will be a test for the glass."

“Which factory are we using now?”

Wu Zhe said without thinking, "The Shanghai Special Glass Research Institute under the Logistics Department is in charge of this work. The glass used in the aircraft is produced by them."

"However, given our current needs, the aircraft needs to rise to an altitude of 20,000 meters and reach a speed of Mach 3. It is unknown whether these glasses can withstand it."

Yang Xiaotao frowned when he heard this. This was indeed a problem.

"The Shanghai Special Research Institute is in the glass factory, right? Is it the Shanghai Guangming Glass Factory?"

Lao Jin suddenly asked, but Wu Zhe was slow to react. He then said, "I don't remember this clearly. I need to look at the list."

Wu Zhe was about to get up and look for him, but Lao Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, just give him a call."

Ji Wan walked to the table and picked up the phone.

Wu Zhe and others looked at Yang Xiaotao, asking questions.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head slightly, indicating to wait.

After Lao Jin dialed the number, the phone rang a few times, and then a voice was heard from the inside.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li from Guangming Glass Factory?"

"I am, who are you?"

"Lao Li, I'm Lao Jin of the car company."

"Hey, Lao Jin, how come you have time to call me? Last time on August 1st, we were drinking together and Lao Ning said that you went to Sijiucheng to visit your grandson. What's this..."

"Haha, I'm in City 49 now."

The two chatted and exchanged pleasantries for a while before Lao Jin whispered, "Lao Li, I need your help this time."

"Brother, you tell me."

"Okay, about this."

Lao Jin told Yang Xiaotao that he was in charge of aircraft manufacturing, and he also said the three words "commander-in-chief" very accurately. Yang Xiaotao clearly saw the corners of Lao Jin's mouth raised high.

"What? Oh, then we must help, our grandson can do it."

"Yes, but our grandson is a little young, so we need the help of the brothers."

"Old Jin, I have to say something to you. Are you looking down on your brothers by saying this now?"

"No, no, no, this kid doesn't want to cause us trouble, but we are the older generation, right?"

"Come on, don't worry, I'll tell the institute and I'll make sure things are done for you."

"it is good!"

Lao Jin hung up the phone with a smug smile on his face.

"Mr. Li is an honest man. He will definitely stick to what he promised."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly handed over the cup of water, "You are really amazing."

Lao Jin smiled proudly, "See, this is how popular I am."
