Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 3079 A Tailor-Made Platform
According to the current method of compilation, it is clearly inappropriate for these nine parts to continue with the original goals. It depends on how ambitious the goals of the nine parts are.

Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment, and while others were answering, he turned around to exchange opinions with Li Hongfeng and Lao Hong.

The three reached a consensus on the final result.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Old Qin coughed to interrupt their gaze, "Commander, leaders, let's talk about logistics first."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled kindly.

There's nothing else to it. Last time, when Mr. Chen gave the target of 100 billion in foreign exchange reserves, the nine ministries alone accounted for half of it.

Now everyone present has set their own goals. Regardless of whether they can be achieved, the total amount of goals announced by various departments has already reached 100 billion.

If all nine films grossed a total of 100 billion, that would be fine, since it would be split in half, which wouldn't be shameful.

But if it's revealed to be 150 billion, that would be a complete crushing defeat.

In other words, all nine of them combined are no match for one Department Nine.

Will he still have the nerve to say it then?

Since it was so disrespectful, Old Qin decided to speak first.

Seeing that Elder Qin had taken the initiative to speak, Yang Xiaotao was not in a hurry and nodded to let the other party speak first.

Old Qin coughed lightly again, "Our logistics will also double, to 30 billion."

He immediately shut up after speaking and didn't interrupt again.

The three men nodded, then looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and solemnly addressed the three men, saying, "Commander, our Ninth Department will have three to five key projects generating output next year, so we discussed it and set a bold target."

Yang Xiaotao's words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Old Wang, especially, muttered curiously, "You guys aren't going to fly to heaven, are you?"

Yang Xiaotao ignored him and said directly, "Our goal is three hundred billion US dollars."

"How many?"

Old Wang blurted it out subconsciously, but no one present paid any attention to that; they were all waiting for Yang Xiaotao's affirmative answer.

Even the old man who chaired the meeting couldn't help but clench his fists.

What was that I was talking about earlier? How much are China's foreign exchange reserves again?

More than 600 billion.

Okay, if this guy can do that, he could reach over a trillion.

"Three hundred billion US dollars."

Yang Xiaotao calmly and confidently repeated it, and this time, everyone understood.

But the scene was completely silent.

pop
Bang bang bang bang
Suddenly, the eldest uncle led the applause.

Tang Mingyue behind him also started clapping.

Then the entire conference room erupted in applause.

The fact that they set this goal is enough to demonstrate the strength of the Nine Departments.

Of course, they also doubted whether the Nine Departments had the ability to complete it, but their doubts were obviously much smaller.

It is at least smaller than other machine parts.

But what if the nine parts really do it?

That.
That’s awesome.

More than 300 billion.

Many people gasped inwardly.

Old Wang, Old Qin, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

I can't roll it anymore, really, I can't roll it anymore.

The applause stopped, and everyone composed themselves to return to the meeting.

Qing Lao turned around and glanced at Tang Mingyue, who immediately handed him a slip of paper.

After glancing at the note, Qing Lao smiled and said, "In that case, everyone has compiled the results for the stated goals."

"I checked, and the total target for next year has reached 4460 billion."

"It seems that letting comrades set their own goals is more effective than letting the organization set them."

Everyone gave another wry smile.

Once the goal is set, you have to work towards achieving it.

If you fail to complete the task, see if your superiors will question your abilities.

"In that case, our foreign exchange reserves will reach one trillion next year."

"I'm actually looking forward to it."

Old Qing himself laughed, his gaze fixed on Yang Xiaotao.

After all, the Nine Departments alone account for nearly two-thirds.

"Now, let's move on to the last step."

Suddenly, Qing Lao's smile vanished, and his expression turned serious.

My uncle took two deep drags on his cigarette, then stubbed it out in the ashtray.

Mr. Peng also sat up straight.

Everything indicates that something big is about to happen.

Those who knew about this, though somewhat prepared, still showed a hint of shock on their faces.

"Next, we will announce an appointment."

After entering, Qing Lao picked up the documents that were on the table, solemnly opened them, and then read them aloud.

"In order to promote the rapid development of the revolution, in order to accelerate the pace of revolutionary construction, and in order to promote the vigorous development of high-tech industries"

"Following organizational discussions, a High-Tech Industry Research Office was established under the Economic Office to coordinate the development of high-tech industries nationwide."

After Qing Lao finished reading this passage, many people below showed expressions of shock.

Economic Office.

An ordinary name, yet it carries great significance.

Of the three people at the head of the table, besides President Peng, the other two are all members of the organization.

Old Chen was also a member of this office.

An ordinary member.

But now, a new department has been opened under this office.

It's certain that the head of this department is definitely one of them. And then there's 'high-tech industries'—that term alone sounds different.

The research lab is setting up yet another new department.

This means that someone will be joining this department during this meeting.

For a time, everyone had different thoughts.

"The scope of high-tech industries includes emerging industries that are different from traditional industries."

"For example, the electronics industry, such as game consoles, computers, and photocopiers."

"For example, information industries such as satellites, satellite phones, and pagers."

"For example, biotechnology industries such as bioengineering, medicine, and pharmaceuticals."

"For example, advanced materials, alloys, and high-performance materials."

Old Master Qing finished speaking in one breath, giving everyone present enough time to digest the information.

Everyone present quickly took notes, and then, looking at the information in their notebooks, they felt a sense of familiarity.

After reading it, Old Wang immediately turned his head.

Isn't this exactly what the Ninth Division is doing right now?
If you remove all the rolling mills, diesel engines, and other equipment from the Ninth Division, what's left is basically all from the Ninth Division's business.

Or rather, this is a 'high-tech industry' formulated according to the template of the nine ministries.

Not only did Old Wang see it, but anyone present could figure it out with a little thought.

Those in the know looked at the items listed above and secretly shook their heads.

These are jobs that no one else could possibly do.

That is, the ninth part, which is Yang Xiaotao.

Those who didn't know the situation turned their attention to Yang Xiaotao, trying to glean something from his face.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao maintained a calm expression throughout.

Even those who came after Li Hongfeng and Lao Hong did not get the answer they wanted.

After a moment of digestion, Elder Qing said again, "After discussion within the organization, this appointment is hereby made."

At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, afraid of missing a single word or phrase.

"Yang Xiaotao is appointed as the head of the High-tech Industry Research Office."

The old man's voice faded.

It's unclear how many people present held their breath for a moment, but quite a few experienced a sudden increase in the size of their pupils.

The scene fell silent, and many people turned their heads to the side, focusing on the young figure.

The next moment, Huang Lao suddenly spoke up, "On behalf of the Ministry of Machine Building, I support the decision of the higher authorities and support Comrade Yang Xiaotao to become the chief person in charge."

As soon as Elder Huang finished speaking, Elder Zhang immediately spoke up, "Commander, on behalf of the Third Ministry of Machine Building, I support the decision made by the higher authorities."

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao's abilities are evident to all, and this is only right."

The two men's words were like opening a boiling pot lid, instantly causing a burst of steam that made the entire conference room erupt violently.

"lead!"

Just as the two finished speaking, Zhao, an elder from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, and Zhou, who was standing next to him, suddenly stood up.

It would be strange if they still couldn't figure out the wind direction at this point.

Neither of them expected the other to stand up, but now was not the time to talk about anything else.

Then Zhao Lao spoke first, "Leader, the work of the Ninth Department is progressing very smoothly, thanks in part to Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

"We also believe that Comrade Yang Xiaotao is the most suitable candidate."

"Our Fourth Ministry of Machine Building."

"The Sixth Ministry of Machine Building firmly supports this."

After the two finished speaking, Elder Qing nodded and asked everyone to calm down.

This resolution has already been approved by higher authorities, and no further comments are needed.

Of course, the support from everyone is also an encouragement to Yang Xiaotao.

At the very least, let Yang Xiaotao know that everyone supports the work.

"Sir, our Second Ministry of Machine Building also agrees."

Just as Elder Qing was about to calm everyone down, Elder Liu seized the opportunity to stand up and agree, while also looking at Yang Xiaotao and nodding and smiling, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao is a qualified person in charge, both in terms of management and his own learning attitude."

"Moreover, in strategic planning, they can always see things that others cannot."

"Just like the development of computers, when countries were researching mainframe computers, Comrade Yang Xiaotao took charge of the research and development of minicomputers."

"As far as I know, this research and development was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the result of five years of perseverance."

"This persistence and dedication are exactly what the development of high-tech industries needs."

"Therefore, I personally, and indeed all my colleagues at the Second Machine Tool Plant, agree with Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Seeing that Elder Liu had said so, Yang Xiaotao immediately stood up, his expression respectful.

"Thank you for the praise from the leader, and thank you for the recognition from the senior colleagues."

"At the same time, I would also like to thank my comrades for their support."

Yang Xiaotao shifted his gaze from Qing Lao and the other two, nodded to Huang Lao and the others, and then glanced at Wang Lao, who was tugging at his trouser leg. The latter looked helpless, as if to say, "He hasn't even said anything yet, why did you stand up?"

"Since the organization has entrusted me with this task, I, Yang Xiaotao, will do my utmost to complete it."

Bang bang bang bang
Old Wang led the applause, and in an instant, the entire conference room was filled with enthusiastic applause.

Li Hongfeng and Lao Hong exchanged a glance behind them, realizing that their previous worries had been somewhat unfounded.

In the crowd, Wang Zaijin, the second-in-command of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, was excited inside, but his face remained calm.

Back then, he even went to eat at the courtyard house with Ran's father.

Strictly speaking, Yang Xiaotao should still call him Uncle Wang.

Zheng Shuangyan from the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry had the same expression, but when she looked at Ran's father, she was completely convinced.

This guy has raised an amazing daughter.

Seeing Zheng Shuangyan's expression, a secretary from the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry standing next to her asked curiously, "Old Zheng, did you find out in advance?"

Zheng Shuangyan shook her head, "I don't know, I just found out."

"Then why are you so calm?"

Zheng Shuangyan laughed and said, "In terms of status and ability, who could be more suitable?"

Instantly, the people around nodded silently.

This is practically a platform tailor-made for them.
