Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 3055 Where are we lacking?
Just as Yang Xiaotao was joking about how difficult it was to get a drink from Boss Peng, Boss Peng's adjutant hurriedly stepped forward, looking anxious.

"what happened?"

When asked, Peng asked, his adjutant quickly replied, "Peng, the comrades from the Ninth Department have called eight times, wanting to speak to Leader Yang Xiaotao and asking him to return as soon as possible."

"Eight phone calls?"

Yang Xiaotao's expression tightened upon hearing this, and the adjutant quickly nodded, "Yes, they said it's important and they want you to go back as soon as possible after the meeting."

Yang Xiaotao looked at President Peng and said, "President Peng, I'll go back and take a look first."

Mr. Peng nodded, "Go see what's going on first, and call me if there are any problems."

"it is good."

Yang Xiaotao nodded to Old Zhou and the others, then quickly walked out.

Peng and his three companions watched Yang Xiaotao disappear at the end of the corridor before continuing their walk toward the cafeteria.

"Is the Ninth Division alright lately?"

Mr. Peng was still a little worried, so he looked at everyone and asked.

Old Zhou frowned and said cautiously, "Could it be something to do at the nuclear power plant?"

"If you're in such a hurry, the situation there must be extremely urgent."

After saying this, Director Wang walked to the side and turned on the switch on the wall. The lights in the corridor flickered on and then turned off. He then shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. Dengzhou's electricity comes through the power grid, and we also use some of it."

"If a problem really occurs, we'll probably lose power here."

Director Cai nodded, then, as if struck by a thought, asked, "Could it be related to the West-East Gas Pipeline project?"

“The Ninth Division has been in charge of this project, and I think the problem might be in that area.”

Old Zhou nodded thoughtfully after listening, and then said, "It could also be because of the satellite. Wasn't it because of the satellite that he went to Xizhou last time?"

"According to you, it could also be a computer."

Director Wang retorted.

When President Peng saw the three of them discussing the project of the Ninth Department, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

"Alright, we can't guess here anyway. Send someone to find out what happened in the Nine Departments."

As soon as Peng spoke, his adjutant ran off.

Just as Boss Peng sat down in the restaurant, his adjutant ran back and said, "Boss Peng, a representative from the local government went to the Ninth Ministry, saying that they want the Ninth Ministry to give an explanation."

patter
Mr. Peng placed the chopsticks on the table and said, "Explain your reasoning clearly."

Director Wang and Director Huo, who were eating, narrowed their eyes. These guys wanted to touch their "god of wealth"? How could they let that happen?

Upon seeing Peng Zong's anger, the adjutant immediately said, "It seems that the Ninth Department wouldn't give them a place to set up a paging station, and they felt wronged, so they organized themselves to go to the Ninth Department to ask the Ninth Department to inspect their area."

"They also said they were willing to provide manpower and funding, as long as the Ninth Department could provide personnel and technology."

After the adjutant finished speaking, President Peng shook his head, picked up his chopsticks from the table, and then burst out laughing.

"These guys."

Director Wang and Director Cai were somewhat disappointed, but the next second, General Peng looked over and said, "You've seen it too, the local comrades are making progress, you can't let them down."

The two men instantly understood what Boss Peng meant, and nodded in unison, "Boss Peng, rest assured, we will never let our comrades down."

Peng nodded, then, thinking of the scene Yang Xiaotao would have to face when he returned, he laughed again.

Nine departments, at the main entrance.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's car return, he immediately opened the car door and got in.

"You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, Lao Yang and the others wouldn't have been able to hold on!"

"What's going on?"

"What else could it be? It's all because of the pagers."

Chen Gong gave a brief explanation in the car, and when the car stopped in front of the headquarters building, he hurriedly got out and pulled Yang Xiaotao into the building.

"How many people came?"

"A dozen or so."

"you sure?"

"They've already introduced themselves, why should I count them? Besides, there's more to come."

Yang Xiaotao stopped in his tracks, while Chen Gong looked helpless.

Did you call the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building?

"I've called. Old Zhao will be here soon."

After saying that, he added, "This time it's really damn weird. All these people actually came together. Nobody would believe that no one was organizing this from behind."

"But the truth is, damn it, nobody organized it."

Chen Gong found this unbelievable; with so many people coming, it seemed like an organized and premeditated event.

"Never mind, let's go in and take a look!"

"Also, find Chen Mingli and have him investigate."

Chen Gong nodded.

Yang Xiaotao went upstairs and ran into Liu Lixue, who looked anxious.

"lead!"

"How about it?"

"Things are fine in the meeting room; everyone is very self-disciplined, but there's also a lot of clamor and a firm attitude. Director Yang is having some trouble managing things."

Liu Lixue spoke quickly, while Yang Xiaotao kept walking.

I hurried into the conference room and saw a familiar face.

"Brother Lao Wang!"

Yang Xiaotao walked in, and the conference room immediately fell silent.

The sample also immediately drew the attention of everyone surrounding Yang Youning, and the person walking in front was Wang Dahai.

After seeing Wang Dahai, Yang Xiaotao felt relieved.

"Brother Xiao Tao".

With a big smile on his face, Wang Dahai quickly stepped forward and the two embraced.

This made the other representatives envious; their relationship was truly enviable.

"Brother Wang, you're the ringleader here to cause us trouble."

The two let go, and Yang Xiaotao reached out and punched him, jokingly saying.

Wang Dahai quickly shook his head, "Brother Xiao Tao, don't wrong me. I'm petitioning on behalf of the people of Jinan this time."

"What do you mean?"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned by what Wang Dahai said.

"Fellow villagers of Jinan?"

"correct."

Wang Dahai nodded and then immediately reached for a newspaper on the table beside him. "Take a look, it's our Quancheng Evening News."

He handed it to Yang Xiaotao as he spoke.

Yang Xiaotao took it and glanced at it; the title was very eye-catching.

What's wrong with our Jinan, the City of Springs?

i wipe
After reading the content, Yang Xiaotao just wanted to curse in his heart.

This title and this content are really stirring up the hearts of the people of Jinan.

At this moment, Wang Dahai said, "It's not just our Jinan, but also the Qingdao Morning Post."

A person stepped out from the crowd, holding a newspaper and handing it to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took it.

"Boss, we are from Suzhou, this is the Suzhou Morning Post."

Another person stepped forward, speaking in a kind tone.

"Sir, we're from Guangling, and this is our local newspaper."

"Sir, we are from Nanjing."

A middle-aged woman wearing glasses walked up to Yang Xiaotao and handed him a newspaper, saying, "Leader, our comrades in Jinling feel wronged."

"What's wrong with Nanjing? Why can Shanghai use pagers but we can't?"

“We wouldn’t fight over other things, but why can’t we treat everyone equally over something as trivial as this?”

"Leader, we in Jinling really hope that you can consider the feelings of more than three million comrades."

Yang Xiaotao was holding a stack of newspapers when he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his wrist.

Especially that line about the feelings of over three million comrades. That's a ridiculously rapid elevation in importance.

That's not all, there are still many people behind.

"Comrades, listen to me."

Yang Xiaotao could only shout to calm everyone down, then stood aside and said, "I understand the comrades' demands, and I understand everyone's feelings."

"Our Ninth Department also hopes to serve our comrades and let more of them feel warmth."

There are reasons why it hasn't been widely promoted.

Yang Xiaotao handed the newspaper to Liu Lixue and then said seriously, "The first thing is our production capacity. The production capacity of pagers and computers is still being adjusted, so we can't cover everything."

"The second issue is that paging stations need to work in conjunction with signal towers, or base stations. Since base stations haven't been built in your areas, we can't install them."

After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the situation, Yang Youning shook his head. He had explained this many times, but no one present believed him. They always thought it was just an excuse.

What Yang Xiaotao said is exactly the same, so it's probably true.
"Boss, we believe what you say!"

The next second, someone stood up and proved them wrong.

Yang Youning looked at the young man from Mingzhou; this guy had been the loudest one earlier.

But when it came to Yang Xiaotao, the tone suddenly changed; damn it, he really knows how to change his tune depending on the wind.

"But we can't go back and tell our comrades like that."

The young man looked aggrieved, and everyone else looked the same.

Old Zhao from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building happened to see this scene and was so frightened that he dared not go inside.

Thanks to Liu Lixue keeping an eye on the door, she immediately called out when she saw Old Zhao arrive, "Everyone, please be quiet! Our leader Zhao is here. He is the head of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry."

Upon hearing the sound, Yang Xiaotao immediately looked towards the door and saw Old Zhao walking in with a wry smile on his face.

The two exchanged a glance, then both looked helpless.

If this cannot be resolved fairly and by the public, the opinions from below could turn the world upside down.

"Comrades, this time we are cooperating with the comrades of the Ninth Department, and there is no intention of being unfair in any way."

"Furthermore, we will carefully consider the wishes of our comrades, and we hope that they will give us some time to handle this matter."

As Zhao Lao spoke loudly in front of everyone, Wang Dahai also stepped forward and said to the crowd, "Comrades, our demands have been submitted to the leaders of the Ninth and Fourth Departments."

"Let's wait and see; we believe the leaders will give us a reply."

Yang Xiaotao quickly added, "Yes, comrades, don't worry, we will definitely come up with a solution as soon as possible and give everyone a satisfactory answer."

Old Zhao nodded in agreement, "That's right, comrades, please trust us."

After being comforted by Yang Xiaotao and Zhao Lao, everyone followed Yang Youning, Liu Lixue, and the others out of the conference room and headed to the cafeteria.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao and Old Zhao sat at the table with newspapers in front of them.

"We've really made a fool of ourselves this time."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly smiled helplessly.

Old Zhao had the same expression, "To be honest, these guys weren't like this before."

"Why are you being so proactive this time?"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's think about what to do."

"If it's not handled properly, I estimate..."

Yang Xiaotao didn't finish speaking, but Old Zhao understood.

If this matter is not handled properly, it may not matter much locally, but it will definitely not be a good thing for the two of them.

Even the higher-ups might develop the impression that he is 'incapable of handling important tasks'.

Of course, compared to that, Old Zhao felt even more uneasy and speechless.

It was supposed to be a good thing, how did it turn out like this?

"Do we have any other options right now?"

Suddenly, Old Zhao smiled bitterly.

Yang Xiaotao also gave a wry smile, "No!"

Then the two of them shook their heads in unison.

"Let's go, let's tell Old Chen, we're going to be busy again."

The two of them, without even having a meal, rushed to call Old Chen.

In fact, Old Chen had known about the situation of the Nine Departments for a long time, and he had even heard about the local developments.

Old Chen hadn't expected such a strong reaction this time.

They actually came to our door.

However, this is also a good thing, at least it shows that people's wallets are really getting fatter.

This also gave Mr. Chen a more intuitive understanding of the country's economic development.

"Boss, what should we do about this?"

Yang Xiaotao said softly, and Old Chen on the other end of the phone laughed out loud, "What to do? Do I need to teach you this??"

"Since the people and comrades have needs, then you must provide good service."

"Young man, keep up the pace and get to work!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao looked at Old Zhao.

"I told you, Old Chen is all talk and no action; we have to do all the work ourselves."

Old Zhao sat to the side, resting his chin on his hand, looking helpless.

"Let's do it then."

Yang Xiaotao had no choice.

"In this way, our nine divisions will focus on producing pagers and computers, and personnel training will also be put on the agenda."

"As for the base station, we'll need your help."

Old Zhao nodded, "Don't worry about that. I'll send someone to their area to investigate later."

"Of course, building this base station won't happen overnight; we'll give you time."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "That's for the best."

The two reached an agreement and announced the result to everyone in the afternoon.

Although those who received the results were disappointed that they were not in the same batch as the Yuefu group in Shanghai, they had still achieved their goal.

The message was then relayed back, and the mission was finally completed.

The people from the Ninth Division wouldn't let everyone make a wasted trip, so under Yang Youning's guidance, they began to visit the various factories of the Ninth Division.

This can also be considered a form of publicity.

Meanwhile, upon learning of the situation, the electronics factory prepared for another expansion, and downstream factories also prepared to increase production to cope with the large volume of tasks to come.

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao led Wang Dahai back to the courtyard house.

On the way, Wang Dahai explained that his main purpose in coming here was to see Yang Xiaotao and then have a drink.

As for the matter in Jinan, Yang Xiaotao will definitely handle it well once he finds out.

Yang Xiaotao was happy to be like this with Wang Dahai.

The two chatted for a long time that night, and the next day Wang Dahai boarded the train to return home.

Jinan, the City of Springs.

Upon returning, Wang Dahai immediately called the relevant department leaders.

"Yes, that's what they said, they'll definitely arrange it for us."

Wang Dahai was munching on a radish, his face glowing.

You should know that the person on the other side is the Party Secretary of Jinan, in charge of economic development, and he's not someone you can just meet casually.

But now when I call him, I'm always very polite.

"By the way, my brother specifically reminded us to prioritize the areas where base stations are built first."

"He said that the production of these pagers is limited, and the sooner they are used, the better."

After Wang Dahai finished speaking, a confident voice came from the other end of the phone, "We will definitely be the first to finish."

Subsequently, Wang Dahai felt the enthusiasm emanating from Jinan.

In the streets and alleys, the sound of pagers could be heard everywhere. On Yanzi Mountain in the east of Jinan, people from the Jinan Radio Factory were conducting field surveys, while at the foot of the mountain, a group of people were carrying equipment for building base stations and climbing up step by step.

During this process, many people are unclear about what they are supposed to do or why they are doing it.

But they knew one thing: they couldn't be outdone by other places.

They wanted to prove one thing: Jinan was no worse than anyone else!
