Chapter 3067 Goal Achieved, Reward of 100 Million
The Red Star Computer Manufacturing Plant in Beijing.

Yang Xiaotao accompanied Old Chen as they walked through the workshop, followed by Yang Youning, Chen Gong, Huang Degong, and several others.

"I heard that you transferred people from several electronics factories to ensure computer production, which caused some tasks to be delayed?"

Old Chen stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a mask, his voice slightly hoarse.

He coughed incessantly as he spoke.

Yang Xiaotao didn't rush to answer Old Chen's question. Instead, he stepped forward to help Old Chen up and asked with concern, "Leader, your health is the most important thing!"

Old Chen waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a common cold, I've already taken medicine!"

"That won't do either, you need to rest even more with this cold!"

"You have to be strong yourself to succeed, boss. Why don't you take a couple of days off? This won't do!"

As they were talking, Yang Xiaotao had already asked Xiaowei to take a look at Old Chen.

"it's okay no problem!"

"It's almost the end of the year, and I'm extremely busy!"

As Old Chen spoke with a smile, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, and the chest pain caused by coughing was not so bad anymore!
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao could only accompany Old Chen as they walked slowly.

"The production of these computers requires highly skilled personnel, so it's best to draw them from experienced electronics factories so they can get up to speed quickly and reduce the scrap rate."

"The electronics factory will recruit more people then!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Chen pointed to the back of his hand and said, "If you do it this way, the factories below will all become training centers, specifically supplying you with talent. Would you be willing to do that?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't take it seriously, "Why wouldn't you want to?"

"They're not short of money, and it's something they're doing to contribute to the revolution. Shouldn't we support it?"

"If they don't even have this much of a sense of the bigger picture, then let them come to me, and I'll personally give them a lesson!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke in a serious tone, and Old Chen shook his head as he listened.

That guy makes a good point.

But weren't all those people painstakingly trained in factories?

In short, they've been transferred away, and now they can't even say a word about it?

Even he couldn't justify this.

In his eyes, all factories were equal, and the workers were equal in status.

Therefore, I strongly disagree with Yang Xiaotao's practice of transferring workers from downstream factories and then having the factories continue to train talent.

But Yang Xiaotao doesn't see it that way.

His plan was to classify and categorize industries.

They are classified into three categories: first, second, and third.

One category is the current computer and high-precision computer industry.

The second category is industries that directly provide spare parts for computers.

The third category consists of the most basic processing industry, which serves the second category.

The three categories are like a pyramid, with the first category being the fewest and the third category being the most numerous.

After categorizing them, Yang Xiaotao not only made management easier but also maximized the use of their human resources.

Yang Xiaotao had thought about doing this before, but there were too few industries of this type, and none of them were outstanding.

Secondly, the distinction between Category II and Category III is not very clear, and the status of some industries is ambiguous.

Thirdly, the workload is too large, and each time it needs to be organized, a lot of manpower and resources are required.

However, now, a series of first-class industries such as computers, satellites, engines, and CNC machine tools are gradually becoming more standardized and are on a path of rapid development.

As a result, the second-tier industries were stimulated and stood out.

As for the last condition, it will be much easier once computers are introduced into the office.

During this period, Lou Xiao'e was present for this very reason.

Today, the pyramid with computers at its apex has been completed.

Below are electromechanical and electronic factories that produce various components.

Below are three types of factories that provide raw materials and produce components for electromechanical and electronic factories.

This is an industrial adjustment, and also a stepping stone for personnel advancement.

For the pyramids to continue to grow and expand, their apex needs to be continuously raised, which in turn drives the rest of the pyramid to grow larger and larger.

Therefore, the scale of computer manufacturing will continue to grow, requiring an increasing number of workers.

During this rapid development, Yang Xiaotao could not afford to spend several months or even one or two years teaching newcomers, so he had to transfer outstanding workers from second-tier factories to the computer production plant.

Then, the personnel missing in the second-class factories will be drawn from the third-class factories.

Correspondingly, the benefits and compensation are also different.

Category 1 has the highest number of cases, and Category 3 has the lowest number of cases.

This also motivates workers to strive for improvement.

Although doing so may draw criticism, it is nothing compared to the remarkable achievements of the nine departments.

Moreover, these are all benefits.

It's reasonable for everyone to have the same salary but different benefits.

No one can find fault with it.

And this is not the end.

Workers recruited by factories of the third category also need to be reported to headquarters.

The Ninth Department has established a special review team for personnel matters.

A special investigation was conducted on the information of newly hired workers.

This approach strengthens headquarters' control over local factories, and coupled with the security measures, Department Nine's control has surpassed that of the other departments.

Among the conditions for recruiting new employees, one regulation stands out.

The educational requirement for recruiting workers is junior high school education or above.

Moreover, this is a mandatory requirement.

Those who do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to enter the factory of the Ninth Division.

This requirement immediately caused a wave of sighs and lamentations from local factories.

Because these days there aren't many people with a junior high school education or above.

As a result, junior high school students became highly sought-after by the various factories of the Ninth Division.

Upon learning of this requirement from the Ninth Department, those who envied its high welfare and benefits began to urge their children to study hard. Some parents who originally thought that schooling was useless also changed their attitudes and strongly supported their children's education.

Of course, most of the time they were disciplined by their parents with a beating.

If you don't pass the junior high school entrance exam, don't come back.

In the eyes of these parents, the conditions offered by the Ninth Division were practically stating that as long as one attends junior high school, they can get into the Ninth Division.

what is this?
This is a broad road right in front of us to escape the identity of a farmer.

The happiest person after this news was released was Ran Qiuye.

Because more and more people are going to school.

Yang Xiaotao and Old Chen walked around the workshop for a while longer. Old Chen's cough lessened considerably, but he still coughed while speaking.

What is the current production level?

Old Chen asked softly. Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately waved to Huang Degong, who was following behind him. Huang Degong quickly took two steps forward and said, "Leader, Chief."

"Director Huang, could you tell me the situation? What's the expected output for January?"

Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to give Huang Degong a chance to shine.

Huang Degong took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Leader, Chief."

"We have been continuously recruiting staff and expanding our production team during this period."

"Currently, our entire computer manufacturing plant employs 13,000 workers, of whom about 8,000 are skilled workers."

"The entire factory is divided into six zones, each corresponding to the production of different computer components."

"By the end of last month, we had already achieved our goal of producing 300 units per day."

"Now that we're in the middle of the month, we've increased our daily production to 500 units, and we believe we can reach 1,000 units per day by the end of the month."

Huang Degong spoke earnestly and proudly.

Before his arrival, the entire computer production process was quite chaotic, with many departments operating independently and unable to achieve effective collaboration.

Back then, with over five thousand workers, the monthly output was only a little over a thousand units. If this were in an electromechanical plant, he would have fired all those workshop foremen long ago.

Of course, this is not the fault of the previous factory director, since Dean Han's focus has always been on computer research, and the other person was only doing it part-time.

Moreover, it was Han Sanfeng who established the computer production process, which enabled him to take over more easily and smoothly roll out production.

It can be said that without Han Sanfeng's groundwork, there would be no large-scale production of computers today.

Yang Xiaotao's face showed relief when he heard Huang Degong say that.

Sure enough, everyone has their own expertise, and Old Huang was put to the right use here.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's admiring look, Huang Degong felt sweeter than if he had eaten honey.

"Okay, okay."

cough cough cough

Upon hearing about the current production figures, Old Chen immediately spoke with delight, but before he could finish speaking, he was overcome with a cough.

Even so, Old Chen patted Huang Degong on the shoulder and said, "When your leader recommended you to be the factory director, you were under tremendous pressure."

"Work hard for your leader."

Huang Degong nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely not let you down."

Old Chen smiled and nodded, while Yang Xiaotao shrugged, "Old Huang, you've done very well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Huang Degong smiled, but he was grateful.

"Five hundred units a day."

"Haha, you can send it to the Alliance now!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "The alliance's order has been loaded onto the truck, and President Peng sent someone to deliver it."

"Currently, there are 10,000 orders from foreign trade companies, probably from Southeast Asia. In addition, there are 5,000 orders from Persia, and that big dog Camel has directly ordered 10,000 units!"

"That's all we're doing right now, but I heard from the foreign trade department that the United States has also taken a liking to us and is preparing to purchase. The specific quantity and price are still under discussion. They are a major client, and if we can secure this order, it will be very beneficial for us."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao said in a very heavy tone, "There's no need to come over for the New Year."

After a moment of silence, they all burst into laughter.

Old Chen laughed and said, "If this really causes the factory to work overtime and not be able to give us a holiday, I will come here in person to celebrate the New Year with everyone."

Upon hearing this, Huang Degong immediately broke down, saying, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, leader."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. "What are you thanking me for? I didn't say I was coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're over thirty and still not serious."

Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to refute, and then he heard Old Chen continue, "These past two days, President Peng has been calling several times a day, saying that all our good products have been sold, and that the domestic market is still using old-fashioned machines, asking when we can replace them with a new batch."

"What do you think about this?"

Yang Xiaotao said helplessly, "Peng also asked me about it, and then I told him to find a leader."

"Alright, just keep kicking the ball around here."

Old Chen felt much better now. "After the New Year, we'll gradually change their clothes."

"Also, the equipment that uses computers must be kept up; your Ninth Department cannot abandon its responsibilities."

"Doesn't that artillery reconnaissance radar use a computer?"

"And the radar used on airplanes, I heard they're going to be equipped with computers too, you all need to keep up."

"Now that we have money, we should spend it where necessary."

Yang Xiaotao listened quietly and nodded.

They are already doing these things.

Or rather, after the Dawn One computer came out, the research institutes of the Ninth Division were like sharks smelling fish, and everyone was going crazy trying to get the computer.

"There's one more thing you should pay attention to."

Suddenly, Old Chen spoke up to remind Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao looked closely and heard Old Chen laugh, "Your game has caused quite a stir this time."

"Neither France nor West Germany are easy to deal with. They've caused such a big commotion this time, so you need to be careful and not let your guard down."

"You must ensure the safety of the staff you send out this time."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Understood. We have already selected personnel here and are preparing to assign a special operations team and a rapid reaction squad to accompany us to ensure one-on-one protection."

"Of course, the other party will also cooperate in security work."

Old Chen nodded, then walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, right, one last thing, which didn't really need to be said."

Old Chen suddenly laughed and said, "But it's alright to hear it."

Yang Xiaotao and the others looked curious, and then they heard Old Chen laugh and say, "Yesterday we received a letter of protest from the Japanese islands."

"Ok?"

Yang Xiaotao and the others were curious: what did this have to do with the Japanese islands?

Could it be that President Peng sent Lan Ju on another inspection tour?
"Yes, they are protesting that our game reflects their own imagery."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless for a moment.

While there is indeed a metaphor involved, you can't be so sore losers.

Look at the alliance, look at the United States, the metaphor is so obvious, did they say a word?
They still had a great time.

And you actually protested!

After a moment of silence, Yang Xiaotao burst into laughter.

Then everyone else started laughing.

After accompanying Mr. Chen on his inspection of the factory, Yang Xiaotao got into the car and headed back.

The two started talking again in the car, “At the beginning of this year, we gave each of your departments tasks.”

"As a result, the end of the year approached and the deadline was fast approaching, and we hadn't completed a single task."

"How much more do you need?"

Old Chen asked, and Secretary Guo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, wanted to speak, but seeing Yang Xiaotao, he still didn't say anything.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Boss, we should complete our mission now."

"Ok?"

"finished?"

Old Chen raised an eyebrow. He had asked Secretary Guo before he arrived, and the latter had calculated it several times. The 50 billion yuan in foreign exchange had not been completed.

Seeing Mr. Chen's confusion, Yang Xiaotao quickly said, "There are still two orders that haven't been completed."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Old Chen recalled the order for Persian camels from the desert that he had just mentioned.

In an instant, his eyes changed.

"That adds up to 15,000 units. We sold each one at the lowest price of 30,000 US dollars. There are also some routers, and we also need to include the cost of the personnel who will be setting them up. The total is about 500 million."

"We previously estimated a shortfall of three hundred million US dollars."

"So, in a way, we even exceeded our target."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao chuckled, "Boss, you see we've exceeded our targets, could we apply for a bonus?"

Old Chen was still in shock that the Ninth Division had completed the mission in one year. When he heard Yang Xiaotao's rewarded expression, he immediately pulled his mask up to cover his eyes. "You guys are still rich as mules, and you're asking me for a reward?"

"It's already kind of you that we don't ask you for it."

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his hands together. "Isn't this what we need you to do, taking the lead?"

Old Chen was completely speechless.

When the car stopped at the headquarters of the Ninth Department, and Yang Xiaotao was about to get out, Old Chen finally spoke up, saying, "I'll give you one hundred million, that's all."

"Row!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled happily, thinking that one hundred million yuan could buy quite a lot of things.

This year's New Year's goods for Jiubu could be even more abundant.

After getting out of the car and watching Old Chen's car leave, Yang Xiaotao told Yang Youning and the others the good news, and everyone was immediately excited.

In the departing car, after coughing for a while, Old Chen looked at the receding scenery and said slowly, "I'm getting old, it's time to find someone to help me."

Both Secretary Guo in the passenger seat and Chen Mu, who was driving, were startled, but then acted as if nothing had happened.

In their hearts, they all knew that this person must be Yang Xiaotao.
