Chapter 3014 Yanwu Brand Recording Machine
Three days after Yang Xiaotao proposed the establishment of the Security Department's supervisory department, which was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Security Department of the Ninth Headquarters listed out all the personnel composition, organizational structure, departmental rights, responsibilities, purposes, and obligations.

Liang Zuoxin then submitted it to Yang Xiaotao for approval.

Regarding personnel, Liang Zuoxin recommended Yang Zhi as the battalion commander.

According to Liang Zuoxin's explanation, Yang Zhi has been working tirelessly on the front lines for many years and has reached the age of retirement. Moreover, he himself hopes to cultivate talents for the country and select talents for the Nine Ministries.

Under the supervision of this inspection team, he can also discover some promising talents while inspecting local security personnel.

Moreover, he is familiar with security work, so he is very good at this job.

As for Yang Zhi leaving, Monkey can be the captain of Special Forces Group C, and Monkey has no objection to that.

In addition to Yang Zhi serving as the captain of the inspection team, twenty experienced veterans and security officers who excelled in security work were also selected to join the inspection team.

These twenty people will be divided into five teams to regularly inspect, evaluate, and recommend security departments in various factories.

Each team consists of four people: a team leader, two examiners, and a recorder.

The team conducted a security inspection of the security items under its supervision as planned.

The monitoring items were also listed.

It is basically a template for the headquarters rapid reaction force, and the various projects are further divided in detail.

Security personnel are considered to have passed if they meet a certain number of requirements; if they exceed the passing grade, they are considered good; and if they are considered good, they are considered excellent.

Excellent security personnel can go directly to headquarters for further training.

This can also be considered a talent selection mechanism.

Of course, there are rewards and punishments.

Those who fail will, as Yang Xiaotao said, be recorded once, warned twice, and expelled from the security department three times.

Yang Xiaotao agreed with all of these points.

There's an extra note at the end: the Security Department's Inspection Brigade is supervised by the Internal Investigation Section of the Ninth Department.

Its purpose is self-evident.

Finally, after Yang Xiaotao signed his approval, the document was distributed to the security departments of various factories.

Because the security departments of these factories are all under the management of the headquarters' security department, this operation by the security department only involved the security personnel.

Logically speaking, the impact on the factory should not be significant.

In reality, the entire factory was shaken after the security departments in some areas received the news.

As mentioned earlier, the development of the nine departments has been very rapid in recent years.

The departments and factories in Beijing were alright, but under the watchful eyes of the Ninth Department, they were under the supervision of the headquarters' security department and dared not go too far.

Even so, this incident still occurred at the hospital, which gives you an idea of ​​the current state of security work in various departments.

As for leaving Beijing, that would truly mean being far from the emperor's reach.

In addition, the number of security personnel in the Ninth Department has increased considerably in recent years, and many places prefer to send their sons or nephews into the security department.

If all these people are conscientious and responsible, that would be good.

The real danger is that some shady characters might infiltrate the security department. That wouldn't just be a rotten apple, but a poison that would slowly erode the image of the Ninth Department.

Now that the news of the establishment of the inspection team by the nine departments has been announced, those who have been assigned to it are immediately filled with fear.

Even those who arranged for their children to enter the security department were afraid.

They had thoroughly understood the nature of the Ninth Division, or rather, the nature of that Yang Division member.

When it comes to matters of principle, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

Problems are always solved.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the people who created it.

This has become a consensus.

Now that the Ninth Department wants to reorganize its security personnel, the local authorities really have no right to object.

Even the factory leaders could only worry helplessly, while strictly ordering their own nephews and nieces who entered the security department to abide by the rules and regulations, obey orders, and do their jobs well.

Upon receiving the news, some of the security chiefs at various factories smiled, but most felt bitter.

Those who smile are naturally those who uphold their principles.

Those who suffer bitterness are often those with flexible bottom lines.

These days, factories have a limited number of workers; it's a one-person-one-job system.

It's obvious that factory leaders will check whether there are any "pitfalls" before letting their own nephews or nieces become factory workers.

But the security department is different. Whenever the head of the security department feels that the security force is weak, he will request the higher authorities to increase the number of security personnel.

Under normal circumstances, the higher authorities will not refuse to approve it.

Then they can be recruited into the security department, and from then on their livelihood will be guaranteed.

The more this kind of thing is done, the more people there are in the security department.

With so many people, they even started to have nothing to do.

Many elderly people would sit in the guardhouse, drinking tea and reading newspapers, for the entire day, until they went home after get off work.

Some of the younger ones just wandered around the factory aimlessly, doing nothing.

Some even became intimate with female employees to facilitate their marriage.

Under such circumstances, the current security department is no longer the same as the security department of ten years ago, which used to be able to climb stairs with both hands and had explosive combat power.

Nowadays, the security department is more like a security guard.

What gave the security chiefs an even bigger headache was that, following the orders from below, there was also a notice issued to each factory.

The content is very simple: after the headquarters establishes the inspection team, it will set up a 'report box' to welcome everyone to supervise and report on the security personnel.

This made it impossible for them to cover it up.

This incident startled those 'bad apples' who had infiltrated, making them tremble with fear.

As for the idea that "the law doesn't punish everyone," that's just asking for trouble.

If things really get serious, not only will the Nine Ministries not compromise, but they might even send everyone involved to the Northwest.

There just so happens that a gas pipeline needs to be built there, which requires a lot of people.

All in all, all in all.

The establishment of the inspection team by the Ninth Department is a confirmed fact, as is the reorganization of the Security Section by the Ninth Department.

It's like a sword hanging over the heads of security departments in every factory, bringing immense pressure but also endless motivation.

In the following days, factory workers in the nine departments across the country suddenly discovered that the factory's security department had changed.

In the past, when I came to the factory every day, the security department always seemed to be doing their job in a lazy and routine manner.

But now, the security department not only starts running in formation, but they run so hard they're drenched in sweat.

Then there were security guards at the exercise equipment that had been idle for a long time.

You could even hear the head of the security department shouting at you.

What the hell do you mean, you piece of trash? Don't drag everyone down with you.

If you can't finish your work, get out of here as soon as possible, don't harm others.

Train me to the bone, etc.

In the end, the factory workers increasingly felt that the security department was changing.

They became more energetic and vibrant.

Of course, many others gave up on themselves, while others tried to get away with it by deception.

Just wait and see.

The actions of the Ninth Division naturally attracted the attention of others.

After all, many, many eyes are now on Jiubu, whether they are well-intentioned or have ulterior motives. In any case, every step Jiubu takes will be watched by someone to see if they have stepped in cow dung.

As a result, the news that the Ninth Department had established a Security Department Inspection Brigade spread.

Discussions immediately began.

The duality of things is once again on display at this moment.

However, after learning the specific reasons, there were more supporters than not.

Some people even called Yang Xiaotao to inquire about the progress and wanted to join in. Others, however, reminded Yang Xiaotao not to rush things, as the security department was no ordinary force.

Yang Xiaotao ignored all of this.

What's the point of saying all that now that the deed is done?

With so much work to do right now, who has the time or energy to deal with these things?

Just as Yang Xiaotao was busy dealing with the Dengzhou nuclear power plant, a phone call came from Shanghai, breaking the silence in the office.

"Minister Yang, hello, Happy New Year! I'm sending you my belated New Year greetings."

"I am Hu Dong, Director of the Shanghai Toy Factory."

Hearing a Shanghai accent on the phone, and hearing the other person's introduction, Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered that there was such a project.

recorder.

To be precise, it's an all-in-one recording and recording machine.

The kind of tape recorder with two players that you can carry on your shoulder.

"Director Hu, hello, I remember you."

"I also wish you a Happy New Year, and Happy New Year to all my colleagues at the toy factory."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and then asked, "You're calling now because you have good news to tell me, right?"

"Haha, Minister Yang, you're amazing! You guessed it all!"

On the other end of the phone, Hu Dong sat in a chair, smiling, but he knew exactly what was going on.

After receiving support from the Ninth Department in Beijing, their toy factory began manufacturing tape recorders according to the design drawings provided by Yang Xiaotao.

Meanwhile, the technical research teams remaining in the nine departments of Beijing continuously transmitted their research findings back to Shanghai.

Before the Lunar New Year, the research team returned to Shanghai with the components they had designed.

After half a month of testing and debugging, it was finally completed today.

"Minister Yang, we've made the kind of tape recorder you mentioned earlier."

"We also had a lot of magnetic tapes produced."

"Minister Yang, we really did it!"

Hu Dong smiled as he reported the situation to Yang Xiaotao, explaining that their video game toy factory had now been incorporated into the Ninth Department.

They received a notification from the disciplinary squad under headquarters shortly after being incorporated.

This caused a great deal of distress in the factory's security department.

Some people even started to complain about him, complaining that he was meddling and that he was causing trouble for the factory.

But in his heart, he felt it was good, and he thought the Ninth Department had done a good job.

He knew best what kind of people were in the security department of their factory.

Because they weren't from the same system, he could only say a few words when he disagreed, but the other party wouldn't listen at all.

With this kind of equipment, let alone protecting the lives and property of the people, it would be difficult to even get them to guard the gate.

At the same time, after learning the whole story, Hu Dong realized that joining the Ninth Department was definitely the right move.

"Is it finished yet?"

The incredulous voice of Yang Xiaotao on the other end of the phone pulled Hu Dong back to reality.

"Yes, yes, Director Yang has already done it."

“We assembled three units, and I have one right here. It can even record audio.”

"By the way, Director Yang, please wait a moment while I have someone go and get a cassette tape."

He put the phone on the table and quickly ran to the next office.

Hearing the faint shouts coming from the phone, Yang Xiaotao smiled at Liu Lixue and said, "The toy factories in Shanghai have already made the tape recorder. We're going to have another source of income."

Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much. Just then, the phone rang again. "Director Yang, this is a song we recorded from the radio. Please listen to it."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaotao replied, and then a series of clicking sounds came from the phone.

After a while, the sound rang out.

"Sunshine always follows the storm, and clear skies appear above the clouds..."

As the sound came through, Yang Xiaotao recognized it as the song "Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm," but the sound was somewhat distorted and not as pleasant as it sounded on the radio.

However, it's already quite good that they were able to do this.

"Director Yang, your voice is a bit off, but we've tried it. As long as you use a microphone to record, the tone is almost indistinguishable from a real person."

Hu Dong continued, explaining the benefits of the tape recorder.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao was already calculating in his mind how to maximize the profit from this tape recorder.

Hu Dong spoke for a while, then asked Yang Xiaotao, "Director Yang, our project has never had an official name. Now that it's finished, could you please give it a name?"

Yang Xiaotao was surprised that the other party would make such a request. Generally speaking, it is the R&D department or the production factory that names the project.

Since Hu Dong had asked, Yang Xiaotao didn't think much of it and said directly, "Let's call it Yanwu, Yan as in swallow and Wu as in dancing."

"Swallow dance, swallow dance!"

"Great, wonderful, you've chosen a wonderful name."

Hu Dong's laughter came through the phone, and Yang Xiaotao said, "Director Hu, have someone send over a few units as soon as possible. If there are no problems, we'll start mass production."

"Therefore, you need to be prepared for production."

"Yes, Commander Yang."

Hu Dong was waiting for Yang Xiaotao's words on the other end of the phone. If the factory could start operating, the workers would have jobs and food to eat.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Dong went to find someone to take the finished product to Beijing.

At the same time, he also needed to call Comrade Lao Jin to ask if he needed anything to bring over.

Since witnessing the mobilization meeting for the West-East Gas Pipeline project at headquarters, Hu Dong's understanding of the Ninth Department has reached its highest level.

That's why he always insisted on riding in the ninth car.

After returning, he cultivated a good relationship with Lao Jin, and through Lao Jin's introduction, he discovered that many factories in Shanghai had intricate connections with the Ninth Department.

How come I never knew this before?

Then they became even more eager to cling to the leg of the Ninth Division.

Three days later, Hu Dong, weary from his journey, arrived in Beijing again.

I felt the unfriendly environment as soon as I got off the train, but fortunately the people from Department 9 arrived in time and were very welcoming.

Upon arriving at headquarters, Hu Dong met Yang Xiaotao again.

"Minister Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Hu Dong held Yang Xiaotao's hand, his heart pounding with excitement.

Yang Xiaotao patted Hu Dong on the shoulder, "I heard you brought some good stuff this time."

Upon hearing this, Hu Dong laughed heartily.

Then two Yanwu brand tape recorders appeared on the desk, and people in the office building who had received the news immediately surrounded the small conference room.

The tape recorder in front of me is half a meter long, twenty centimeters high, and more than ten centimeters wide.

The reason it's so large is probably because it uses transistors, but overall it's based on my own design.

Fu Ganwei, who came with Hu Dong, explained how to use the tape recorder.

"Director Yang, this is a cassette tape; it can record audio."

Hu Dong handed a cassette tape and a microphone to Yang Xiaotao, and then started operating them himself.

As he pressed a few buttons, Yang Xiaotao blew into the microphone, and the sound became louder.

"Director Yang, you can start recording now."

Fu Ganwei opened his mouth with a smile.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the microphone, suddenly smiled, and began to sing, "Even if fate is turbulent and unpredictable."
