Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 3027 Really, I'm not afraid to read it.
In Old Chen's office in Beijing.

At this moment, three people were sitting in the office, while a group of people were standing outside.

Of the three, Old Chen sat to the side, serving tea and water.

In the very center, the old man placed his right hand on the table, his index finger tapping the table incessantly. His gray hair stood on end, but his complexion was rosier than before, exuding supreme majesty.

At the window, the uncle lit a cigarette, his gaze fixed on the afterglow of the setting sun, as if he were reminiscing, lost in thought, or searching.

Old Chen picked up the kettle and walked over to his uncle, saying, "Smoke less and drink more tea!"

The uncle gestured his thanks, then laughed and said, "I finally found an excuse to come out, so you have to let me have a taste of meat!"

Old Chen shook his head, "You just don't take your health seriously!"

The uncle shook his head and smiled, "Right now, my body desperately needs it to relieve my worries!"

“Heresy!”

Old Chen picked up the teapot and came to Old Qing. "I've asked someone to prepare a meal, but it will probably take a while!"

Qing Lao nodded, "No need to prepare much, keep it simple."

Old Chen nodded, poured some water, and sat back down in his original spot.

The silence was broken, and Old Chen decided to follow up, saying, "I heard from my older sister that your appetite has increased recently. Why don't you tell me how many bowls of rice you eat?"

"Oh, by the way, I also have canned beef here, would you like to try some?"

Old Qing put his hands on the table and said, "You know what, I don't even know what's going on. If I don't eat something at night, I'll wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

"Haven't you seen a doctor?"

The uncle stood by, concerned.

"I've been to several hospitals."

"Several senior doctors also took my pulse."

"The results all say I'm perfectly healthy, even healthier than before. See..."

As he spoke, the old man lowered his head and pointed to the center of his head, "Look here, my husband discovered it, the hair here has grown back black..."

Old Chen got up and glanced at it, then exchanged a look with his uncle, both of them looking somewhat incredulous.

However, this is also a good thing for the two of them.

Whether from a personal or group perspective, the better Qing Lao's health is, the better it is for him and for them!

Even in the long run, it is beneficial to the entire country!

"In that case, I'll have someone prepare more rice."

"By the way, do you like beef? How about we switch to lamb?"

As Old Chen spoke happily, his uncle beside him shook his head with a smile, "You're going too far! You've even picked out beef and mutton!"

"Back in the day, we couldn't even afford meat; we ate only grass and sweet potatoes. What you're doing is not good, not good at all!"

As soon as his uncle finished speaking, Old Chen immediately sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "Well said!"

"Next time I'll tell Yang Xiaotao to reduce the benefits for the Ninth Division, especially for that chubby guy!"

The uncle immediately took a deep drag on his cigarette and said indifferently, "That's a worker's normal right, it's what they get for their labor. What you're doing isn't right, especially targeting certain people!"

As Old Chen listened to his uncle's sophistry, he was about to speak when Old Man Qing teased him, "What you're saying is useless. Just tally up these cigarette butts today and tell the family when you get back!"

Uncle couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately and instinctively moved the ashtray closer to himself. "Hey, a gentleman doesn't take what others love. This is the worst thing you can do!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qing and Elder Chen burst into laughter.

Ring ring ring

Just as the two were laughing and the uncle stubbed out his cigarette, the satellite phone on the table suddenly rang.

The sound was so loud that both Secretary Guo and Tang Mingyue outside could hear it.

The two who were chatting stopped abruptly and waited quietly.

Tang Mingyue silently prayed in her heart, 'It must succeed!'
Inside the room, the three people stared at the suddenly ringing satellite phone, none of them moving for a moment.

The next moment, Mr. Chen reached for the phone, answered it, and placed it on the table.

"Hello, boss, this is Yang Xiaotao!"

Yang Xiaotao's voice came through the phone. The three looked at each other, and then Old Chen immediately said, "Xiaotao, it's me."

"how is the situation?"

Was the satellite launch successful?

Old Chen quickly asked.

Then Yang Xiaotao said, "Boss, the satellite was launched at 3 p.m., and everything went smoothly."

"We are currently adjusting the track, which will take some time."

"However, judging from the current situation, it seems to have been a success!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao's voice came out, the voices of Qing Lao and his uncle immediately rang out from inside the house.

Yang Xiaotao immediately realized that there were other people in the office.

Old Chen smiled broadly, "Good, well done, comrades, you've worked hard!"

"It's not hard work; it's all for serving the people and for the revolution and construction..."

After listening to Yang Xiaotao for a while, Old Chen glanced at Old Qing beside him, who smiled knowingly and came over, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"

"Hello, Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately recognized who it was.

"Congratulations on successfully completing the important task entrusted to you by the nation!"

"I also hope that you can press your advantage and continue to create miracles for the revolution!"

"Yes, sir. Thank you for your encouragement. We will certainly continue our efforts and fulfill the missions entrusted to us by the country, the people, and our superiors..."

As the three heard Yang Xiaotao begin again, the eldest uncle interrupted, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"

"Yes, leader!"

Yang Xiaotao stopped again, and then his uncle said, "The successful satellite launch is only the first step. Don't be complacent; we must remain vigilant!"

"Next, you will do something equally important."

"We need to communicate promptly, cooperate with each other, and approach any potential problems with a calm mind."

"I want to tell my comrades that the battle ahead will be just as tough!"

After the uncle finished speaking, Old Chen added from the side, "We will announce the news of the successful satellite launch on time. At that time, you will be under even more scrutiny, so you must be vigilant."

Yang Xiaotao's voice immediately came through the phone, "Commander, leader, please rest assured."

"I have already contacted Mr. Peng, and the Suzhou launch center has also begun the docking process. The satellite's trajectory will be determined soon."

"At that time, Mr. Peng will make arrangements based on the general location."

"If all goes well, we'll try to finish before dawn!"

"Okay, keep in touch with Lao Peng and the others, but be careful!"

Qing Lao said from the side, and Yang Xiaotao immediately replied, "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

The call ended abruptly, the three looked at each other, and then all laughed.

"This first phase can be considered a success."

My uncle took out the last cigarette from the pack, but held it in his hand without lighting it immediately.

"Actually, the success of this first phase has already achieved my expected goal!"

At this moment, Old Chen smiled and said, seeing that Old Qing and the other man were puzzled, "I discussed the next steps with Yang Xiaotao earlier."

"The success of this communications satellite will be crucial in the next two aspects!" "Tell me!"

The uncle put the cigarette in his mouth and took out a match to light it.

Qing Lao also knew that Chen Lao had his own plans regarding the economy, and that the original nine white papers had been updated countless times to date.

But one thing is certain: with each of the nine parts being updated, new projects are emerging.

The emergence of each project represents a major step forward in the revolution.

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "The first aspect is to attract foreign investment to purchase our satellites."

"You all know this, so I won't go into it!"

Qing Lao and his uncle both nodded. The matter of Persia and desert camels was no secret; Turkmenistan and the Hassaan Empire had also sent requests.

Moreover, North Goguryeo, North An, and countries in Southeast Asia also shared this interest.

This not only demonstrates the significant increase in the competitiveness of the domestic commodity economy, but also represents the country's influence in the world.

Of course, not everyone can buy it.

This is something we must be very careful about!
"Secondly, Yang Xiaotao is playing a long game!"

Old Chen's words immediately piqued the curiosity of the two men, and Old Qing stood up and asked, "What kind of chess?"

Old Chen did not rush to answer, but asked, "Do you remember the white paper that Yang Xiaotao set up back then?"

"There's a project in there that Yang Xiaotao is personally in charge of!"

Pager!

As soon as Old Chen finished speaking, Uncle immediately shouted it out.

There was no way around it; his eldest son was involved in this project, and he used to brag about it to him for a long time when he came home.

"Yes, it's a pager."

Old Chen clapped his hands and laughed, then explained to Old Qing what a pager was and what it was used for.

Qing Lao had also heard about it from Tang Mingyue, but he didn't remember it well.

Now, after being reminded by Old Chen, I immediately realized what it was.

“I remember this project was established several years ago, but there has been no progress.”

The uncle added from the side, then looked at Old Chen.

Upon seeing this, Old Chen smiled and said, "Yes, there was no movement for the past few years."

"But this is because the prerequisites have not been met, so it has to be postponed."

"You mean, the conditions have been met now?"

Uncle spoke again, and Old Chen nodded gently, "Though not quite there, it won't be far off!"

Mr. Chen immediately explained, "The two important pillars supporting this plan are the communication satellite that flies into the sky and the computer."

"Now that the communication satellite has been successfully launched, communication capabilities will be continuously enhanced."

"The development of computers will also become an important pillar of future economic development."

"Yang Xiaotao is a man of many talents. Some things may seem unnoticed, but they are actually part of his carefully laid plans."

"One link leads to another, and each link is interconnected."

"Even if unexpected events occur in the middle, they can be resolved quickly."

Old Chen sat to the side, sighing repeatedly. Then, recalling the tape recorder incident, he said again, "What's more important is being able to seize fleeting opportunities. Just like this tape recorder, no one expected that such a small thing could play such a huge role."

"Just like a game console."

The two elders nodded in agreement, with the elder brother stating with certainty, "This has already proven that he indeed possesses extraordinary strategic vision."

"It also has a strong tactical execution capability."

Old Chen gestured and added, "If it were an ordinary person, even if they thought of it, they might not be able to do it well."

"But in his hands, the rotten can be turned into the miraculous. This ability is not something that ordinary people can master."

At this point, Mr. Chen suddenly laughed heartily, "When I proposed a GDP of one trillion yuan this year, many comrades were puzzled and even doubted our capabilities."

"But now, the construction of the nuclear power plant is about to be completed, and the power grid will be laid out. At that time, the power supply around Beijing should experience a large-scale surge."

"Once the energy problem that restricts the production of the Nine Departments is solved, the Nine Departments' capabilities will be fully unleashed."

"The nine departments, now freed from their shackles, are like a fully powered locomotive, which will inevitably propel more industries forward and drive rapid economic development."

"That's why I dared to propose a target of one trillion at the meeting."

Old Chen spoke confidently, and this confidence came from the Nine Departments.

"Of course, our strength is far behind that of the Alliance and the United States. If we convert it to US dollars, we don't even have half of their strength!"

"But what we can see is that we are constantly making progress and narrowing the gap."

Ultimately, we will overcome everything!

Old Qing and his uncle watched quietly from the side, seeing Old Chen 'enchanted' there.

cough cough cough

Seeing the look in their eyes, Old Chen realized that he had lost his composure.

So he quickly said, "Let's go, let's get ready to eat. We have to celebrate properly tonight."

As he spoke, he pulled Qing Lao's arm and walked out, while his uncle followed with a smile.

The three opened the door and saw Tang Mingyue, Secretary Guo, and the others waiting at the door.

"Chief!"

"lead!"

Several people stepped forward to greet them, hoping to glean something from their expressions.

Then smiles appeared on their faces.

Having been with them for so long, they naturally know their leaders' situation well. The fact that these three people look calm right now means that things are moving in a positive direction.

"Alright, Secretary Guo, hurry up and prepare the meal. Let's have a good celebration."

"Oh, and give me two servings of canned beef and two servings of canned lamb, plus extra rice."

Old Chen spoke up directly, and Secretary Guo immediately smiled and instructed the kitchen to prepare the meal.

After Elder Chen finished speaking, Elder Qing looked at Tang Mingyue.

"Mingyue, go and call the radio station and send out the prepared press release."

Tang Mingyue hesitated slightly after hearing this, "Chief, should we wait a little longer?"

"We have follow-up plans, right? If others find out in advance, won't they target us?"

After Tang Mingyue finished speaking, her uncle laughed and said, "Mingyue, you're overthinking this."

Tang Mingyue looked at her uncle with curiosity. The two had a very close relationship in private, and Tang Mingyue called him uncle, just like Yang Xiaotao.

That's why my uncle took the initiative to explain. Then I heard him say, "If we don't tell them, won't they find out?"

"Since they'll find out sooner or later anyway, let's take the initiative and tell them we've launched the satellite."

"As for the subsequent plans, how to do them, and when to do them, that's up to us to decide."

Old Chen chuckled beside him, "It all means one thing: we're serious this time."

"Really, I'm not afraid to look."

"I'm afraid they won't see it."

At this point, all three of them laughed.

Tang Mingyue nodded. "I understand."

Old Qing waved his hand, "Go quickly, let the whole country be happy with us."

"Yes!"
