Chapter 1098 The feasibility of building a factory in the northwest
Walking around in the study, Wang Huzi came to the kitchen, where Yang Xiaotao was using his knife like flying, cutting up the meat and vegetables and putting them on the plate, and then started to speculate.
Xiao Wu watched enthusiastically, ready to learn how to do it.
Yang Xiaotao was also happy to teach him.
“Cooking is not easy, from the handling of ingredients, knife skills, techniques, to the addition of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as personal control of the heat...”
"This cooking rice seems simple, but it is different."
"This cooking rice depends on the rice in the pot. There can't be too much water, otherwise the rice will be too sticky, and not too little, otherwise it will be too hard."< br>
“And you have to control the heat. If the fire is too high, the rice below will be mushy. But the top is not yet cooked, so make it into raw rice."
"This is why northerners like to eat pasta, because rice is not easy to cook."
Wang Huzi listened. I don't know if what Yang Xiaotao said is right, but it sounds reasonable.
Dinner was a little late, but there was a lot on the table.
The old Taoist came back just in time for dinner. Yang Xiaotao introduced him, and they sat down at the table and started eating.
Originally Yang Xiaotao thought that Wang Huzi would explain the purpose of his visit at the dinner table, but from beginning to end he only told stories about the past few years and did not mention any serious matters.
Even if the old man left, they did not speak before going to bed.
This made Yang Xiaotao doubt, maybe he was overthinking?
The next day, when Yang Xiaotao got up, Wang Huzi also got up early and was exercising in the courtyard.
“It’s the first time in so many years that I have lived in a courtyard house, and it feels a little different.”
Wang Huzi felt emotional.
It is still a bit cold in the morning, but there is a hint of outline in the coldness, which makes people feel the exhaustion in their hearts.
"If the chief likes it, he might as well stay a few more days. It just so happens that he will go back to the countryside on Sunday and take you back to see the farm in Sijiucheng."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and fetched water to wash his face. Wang Huzi was moved when he heard this, but when he thought about his mission, he shook his head and refused, "I have to go back. This trip, the work is all on Lao Qian. If I go back late, he will have to scold me."
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao did not insist.
The other person is not like him. He just manages a machinery factory and can take leave and go home at any time.
After the two washed up, Yang Xiaotao prepared breakfast. After several people finished eating, they were ready to go out.
In the yard, the two people walked out, and many workers around them were getting ready to go to work.
After leaving the gate, Wang Huzi stopped, and Yang Xiaotao knew he had something to say when he saw his expression.
After some thought, Wang Huzi finally spoke, "Actually, when I came here last night, I wanted to talk to you about the northwest industrial construction, but when I saw the words "chief" in your study, I understood. Here, you will play a greater role and help more with national construction."
Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang Huzi seriously, "Chief, you know. To be honest, the time I was in the northwest was the most profound experience in my life. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Wang Huzi nodded, "I'm here this time. I want to develop the industry in the northwest..."
The two talked at the door for about twenty minutes. Of course, Wang Huzi was talking most of the time, and Yang Xiaotao listened carefully.
Finally, Wang Huzi took a deep breath of the morning air-conditioning and said in a solemn tone, "I also know that industrial construction cannot be careless, and I also know that it is difficult, but I don't want to give up like this. Even if I accumulate bit by bit, one day, I can Build up the industry back in Xinjiang."
Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the slightly deep but firm voice.
Isn’t it the accumulation of little by little that the predecessors planted trees and the future generations enjoy the shade?
Many years later, what can he, the predecessor, leave to future generations?
No, he, a predecessor from later generations, can leave many things behind.
Yang Xiaotao's eyes suddenly became firm, "Chief, I can't guarantee anything else, and even my words may not be effective. But I can try my best to help you with the tricycle."
"At that time, regarding the tricycle, I will try my best to promote this matter.”
“If it is feasible, a tractor factory can be built nearby in the northwest.”
Wang Huzi was overjoyed when he heard this.
If we return to Xinjiang to build a tractor factory, it will be a huge boost to the local economy.
"Okay, regardless of whether things work out or not, next time I go to the northwest, I'll treat you to a roasted whole lamb, the kind of wild yellow sheep!"
"Then you can prepare a few more by then."
The two smiled and then nodded seriously.
After that, we got in the car and left.
Yang Xiaotao drove the car and looked at the increasingly lively streets in the early morning, still thinking about what happened just now.
In fact, when he heard the word 'tricycle' yesterday, a picture emerged in Yang Xiaotao's mind.
In my previous life, my grandfather had a tricycle with a diesel engine at home, and his favorite thing was the long crank handle.
He also used a big iron pot to add water to the pipe. Every time, grandpa would hold him and add water to it.
Unfortunately, my grandpa later left and the car was kept at home, exposed to wind and rain. Gradually, the body of the car became rusty and the mirrors were broken.
Actually, I really want to say Get up, the tricycle is indeed faster than the tractor!
Thinking in my mind, the car arrived at the machine shop.
As soon as the car was put away, the announcer's voice came from the factory loudspeaker.
I stopped and listened for a while. It was about yesterday’s experiment at the steel plant.
Although there was no shock as when we first came here, many workers have become accustomed to it.
But success after failure makes people feel even more precious.
When Yang Xiaotao came to the office, he found Lou Xiao'e holding her chin and listening to the radio. Even when Yang Xiaotao walked in, she didn't react.
"Hey, come to your senses!"
"What are you thinking about? There has been no movement!"
Yang Xiaotao put down his things at the table and saw Lou Xiao'e still looking confused. With a look like that, he waved and said loudly.
Hearing the sound, Lou Xiao'e came back to her senses, her face a little red, "No, I'm listening to the radio!"
"What's so nice to hear? It's not all about getting ready for work."
Yang Xiaotao sat on the chair and put things away.
"I know!"
Lou Xiao'e replied, adding in her heart, "The sound is so nice!"
Sitting on the chair, Yang Xiaotao thought about what to do Launched the tricycle plan, and then promoted the establishment of a branch factory in the northwest. If you want to build a factory, you need space, workers, resources, and equipment.
There is no shortage of space, Wang Beard will solve it.
There is no shortage of workers. Thinking that the Second Northwest Factory can gather dozens of veteran workers, how can such a large Northwest still not be able to recruit enough people?
As long as the machinery factory sends someone to provide guidance, production should not be a problem.
Resources, although the resources in the northwest are less developed, they are not none.
In particular, there is no shortage of coal and iron resources needed for steelmaking, and the emergence of oxygen top-blown converters can also increase steel production, so there is no shortage at all.
The last thing is equipment. There are machinery factories producing machine tools, and coupled with the family wealth in the northwest, they can completely support it.
Yang Xiaotao kept listing on the paper, and then listed the advantages of building a factory in northwest China.
When everything was ready, Yang Xiaotao looked at the items listed on the paper and had an idea in his mind.
Take out another piece of paper and draw a simplified picture of the tricycle in your mind.
He also asked Lou Xiaoe to go to the R&D Department to ask about the design stage of the new tractor and bring over the drawings.
After Lou Xiao'e brought the design drawings from Zhang Guanyu and others from the R&D Department, Yang Xiaotao took a look and found that it was pretty much what he had planned.
He got up and went to the secretary's office, ready to talk to Liu Huaimin.
If even the people in the machinery factory don’t support it, then this matter needs to be carefully considered.
Knocking on the door, Liu Huaimin came over early to handle the documents.
Many of them are task lists sent from various places, which require Liu Huaimin to personally check and specify the delivery time.
Of course, some continued products will also be queued appropriately.
"Uncle Liu!"
Yang Xiaotao opened the door gently and walked in with a smile.
Liu Huaimin heard the sound, then raised his head and glanced, pretending not to see it.
"Uncle Liu, you are busy so early."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and prepared to hand it over.
Unexpectedly, Liu Huaimin stretched out his hand and waved, "It's so early in the morning. Save it. You too are young. If you contract this bad habit, you should smoke less in the future."
"Yes, yes, Smoking is harmful to health, Uncle Liu is right."
Yang Xiaotao quickly put away the cigarette. Liu Huaimin put down the document when he saw Yang Xiaotao being so abnormal.
"If something happens, call Uncle Liu. If nothing happens, call the secretary."
"You must be shouting so kindly so early in the morning, I must not have held it in well."
"What's the matter, tell me quickly."
Yang Xiaotao had a smile on his face, "Uncle Liu still understands me. I can tell at a glance."
"Will you tell me?"
Liu Huaimin picked up the enamel jar and took a sip.
“Talk about it.”
Yang Xiaotao pulled up a chair and said, “Uncle Liu, the engine has been made this time, and I want to make the tricycle by the way.”
One sentence almost made the water in Liu Huaimin's mouth spurt out. Even so, swallowing it hard made his throat hurt.
"What are you talking about? Tricycle? You couldn't be fooled by someone's few words."
Liu Huaimin naturally knew that yesterday in front of everyone, Chief Wang from the northwest had said that he was engaged in tricycles. How could things change so quickly after one night?
"How about I say that our Uncle Liu is wise? He guessed it right away. It's amazing."
"Don't give me such a bad look. What's going on?"
Yang Xiaotao immediately sat down and began to analyze, " Uncle Liu, actually, I had already considered this when choosing the export model.”
“Look, this is the design drawing of the new tractor we designed. Although it has not been finalized, it is basically the same. .”
Liu Huaimin looked at a pile of drawings, but the main body looked similar to the tractor made in the north. The difference was that this time it used wheels, while the other party used chain rails.
“This is the tricycle I want.”
Yang Xiaotao put his sketch aside.
"Uncle Liu, you see, these two vehicles have their own advantages and disadvantages. But in terms of speed, this three-wheeled vehicle is obviously better."
"You also know that tractors are more suitable for Tricycles are suitable for short-distance and heavy-duty work, and they are more flexible than trucks. ”
"Here, because the tricycle has a cover, if you want to avoid the dusty ground in the northwest, this kind of thing is obviously more popular."
Yang Xiaotao began to explain the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. In his telling, the two models are simply complementary.
Liu Huaimin was a little moved after hearing this.
"Uncle Liu, the most important point is the output."
"Look, this tricycle does not require more consumables than a tractor, and the production process is simpler than that of a truck. , with the strength of our machinery factory, we can fully achieve mass production.”
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin was silent in thought.
Time passed by, until the wall clock on the wall rang nine times, Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously, "What you said is good, but can it really be done?"
< br>"You have to know that these tricycles are already within the production scope of automobile factories. They are not like walking tractors. If we want to produce them, we need a lot of accessories and facilities."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao You knew that Liu Huaimin was moved.
"Uncle Liu, I have calculated that our machinery factory can produce most of the parts. Some special parts, such as bearings and tires, are there in Quancheng." Liu Huaimin nodded, and then stared at it seriously. Talking to Yang Xiaotao, "If you want to say something nice this morning, this won't be the only one. If you have anything else to say, let's say it together."
"Hey, it sure is"
"Hurry up, Mr. Huang will be here soon."
"Okay."
