Chapter 3280 The Misappropriated School Subsidy
Ministry of Machine Building, Reception Office.
Yang Xiaotao walked in from outside and heard a commotion coming from inside before he even went in.
I could vaguely hear Old Niu shouting somewhere, and Old Sun's voice could be heard in the middle.
"It seems that Elder Xia and the others are very happy."
Yang Youning followed behind Yang Xiaotao and said with a smile.
Tonight, Mr. Huang is going to hold an internal celebration party for Mr. Xia to celebrate the successful completion of the West-East Gas Pipeline project.
Old Xia was initially reluctant, after all, he had benefited from Yang Xiaotao's influence in this matter, and the matter of "making a name for oneself in history" was itself an object of envy in the eyes of others, and if he were too ostentatious, he would easily be criticized.
So he didn't want to hold these events, but he couldn't resist the joy of Elder Huang and the others.
In the end, only a few close friends were invited.
"Of course."
"These past two years, Old Xia and his colleagues have been living a very tough life, spending half a year at a time on construction sites at their advanced age. Anyone else would have given up long ago."
Chen Gong sighed from the side, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Let's go, we have to have a good celebration tonight."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and walked into the reception room.
Inside the house, Old Huang, Old Xia, and a few others sat together chatting, while Liu Huaimin was pouring water for people from a teapot.
When Yang Xiaotao pushed open the door and walked in, Old Xia turned around, saw him, and quickly stood up and said with a smile, "You three are a bit late. When the dishes are served, you will be punished with three drinks."
Yang Xiaotao walked over and placed the bottle on the table. "I'm fine, but I'm worried that Old Yang might be in trouble after drinking three glasses."
Yang Youning patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder, "We're late because we were waiting for you, so you can just drink nine cups as punishment."
Yang Xiaotao's face fell. "Old Yang, are you betraying the revolution?"
Yang Youning walked directly to Liu Huaimin and said with a smile, "This is called being on the right path!"
"I think you should go wherever the right path is."
The group burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Yang Xiaotao met with the other people before taking his seat.
As the host, Old Huang naturally spoke up, "Let's hold a small celebration for Old Xia this time."
"Of course, there's no reward, just a table of food and drinks."
"Plus a group of our own people."
After saying that, he looked at Old Xia and asked, "How about it? Are you satisfied?"
Old Xia placed his hands on the table, a smile constantly on his face, "I'm content, I've been content for a long time."
"If you're not satisfied with this, then you're being too pretentious."
As she spoke, she looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "I didn't even dare to think about this at the beginning."
"So many things happened after that, I almost gave up."
"Thankfully, I managed to hold on!"
Old Sun, pouring drinks for the group, said, "You should be content. At your age, you've accomplished so much. If you're still not satisfied, then we'll have to have a word with you."
Both Old Niu and Old Li smiled, and Old Niu even asked Yang Xiaotao, "Young Yang, when will the second phase of the project start?"
"Do you think I, Old Niu, am up to the task?"
Yang Xiaotao immediately nodded, "Sure, no problem at all."
"Really?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Really."
"That's great."
"Hello my foot."
Seeing Niu Lao's happy expression, Old Sun immediately poured cold water on him, saying, "The second phase of the project is to be brought in from Turkmenistan. You think you can go abroad?"
Old Niu was stunned for a moment, then froze on the spot.
"I knew it! You agreed so readily, you must not be sincere."
Yang Xiaotao looked wronged. "Old Niu, this is truly a misunderstanding. I genuinely support your decision to go."
"Go away, I'm going to Turkmenistan. Are you still going to do the chores at home?"
At this moment, Old Huang spoke up, "It's nothing, you can go."
"You can hand over the family business to someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Li nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, I can help manage the pharmaceutical factory in Guangdong."
"We can also run a tractor factory."
"We can also help with the production of pagers."
The group immediately began dividing up Old Niu's 'assets,' prompting Old Niu to wave his hands repeatedly, 'Go away, go away, don't try to take advantage of me.'
Everyone laughed again.
After Huang Lao and the others finished their commotion, he continued, "Back when we first established the Ministry of Machine Building, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were dirt poor."
"Looking back over the years, although we can't compare to the United States or the Alliance, our industrial development is much stronger than it was ten years ago."
"We have lived up to the people's expectations."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao picked up his wine glass and said, "Old leader, putting aside everything else, just looking at the current industrial output value, our First Ministry of Machine Building deserves the credit."
Huang Lao and the others laughed and raised their glasses. If these words had come from someone else, they might have scoffed, but coming from Yang Xiaotao, they felt a great sense of honor.
"Come on, let's drink to the bright future of the revolution!"
Old Sun shouted loudly, and everyone stood up and shouted back.
After a glass of wine, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat, making the scene even more lively.
With Mr. Sun and Yang Youning warming up the atmosphere at the dinner table, the entire reception room was never quiet.
The memories span from the initial small group of members to the thriving scene with the help of the alliance's "big brother".
From the initial bewilderment when the elder brother withdrew to the hardships of independent exploration.
Now, we have walked a long way, but the footprints we left behind are still clearly visible.
Those footprints stained with sweat and blood are the best testament to their progress step by step.
"Old Liu, our Channel 9 will officially start broadcasting next month."
"Let me tell you, the program we've prepared this time includes movies, TV series, short films, songs, and more."
"When this airs on TV, it's sure to cause a sensation."
Yang Youning approached Liu Huaimin and talked about the TV station.
Yang Youning's original idea was to find a time slot and broadcast it for one or two hours, just like other TV stations do now.
But Yang Xiaotao felt that there should be more programs.
So, following Yang Youning's design, it was played for eighteen hours straight, from six in the morning until midnight.
Of course, such a long broadcast time requires more programs to support it.
So it was proposed after the Lunar New Year, and three months have passed since then, but it still hasn't met the audience.
Now, everything is finally ready.
Liu Huaimin certainly knew about the Ninth Radio Station, and initially, Huang Lao also thought of building a First Ministry of Machine Building Radio Station just like the Ninth Radio Station.
However, after trying it out, I found that the investment was too large.
The costs are too high and the returns are too low.
So Huang Lao and the others gave up their plans.
Of course, it wasn't just the First Ministry of Machine Building; the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was the most enthusiastic. Old Wang wasn't just joining in the fun; he saw the 'power of discourse' behind the Ninth Ministry and naturally wanted it too.
However, Mr. Wang underestimated the investment required for radio broadcasting.
After a month of preparation, Old Wang went to the Nine Departments to learn from their experience.
The 'secret' they then learned was to use the initial investment of three million to develop the program.
As for how much will be needed later, it is still uncertain.
Immediately, Mr. Wang abandoned this unrealistic idea.
The Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry had money, but they didn't spend it like that.
Hearing Yang Youning say this, Liu Huaimin became wary. "Old Yang, there's a hidden meaning in what you're saying."
Yang Youning grinned upon hearing this, and Chen Gong immediately explained, "Old Liu, we're still family."
"We're going to set aside some time for your First Ministry of Machine Building. How about that? Isn't that generous enough?"
Liu Huaimin suddenly laughed as he watched the two of them working together. "You two, just say what you have to say. Stop beating around the bush."
Yang Youning immediately leaned closer and whispered, "Little Yang said we can't eat alone; we have to get everyone involved."
"We're family, so I'll give you a 50% discount, how about that?"
"Not very good."
Liu Huaimin spoke casually, glancing at Yang Xiaotao, who was chatting with Old Huang not far away.
It's not that I don't want to get involved, but I feel that the price Yang Xiaotao offered shouldn't be 50% off.
It should be free.
"Haha, Lao Yang, I told you your trick wouldn't work."
Chen Gong smiled from the side, while Yang Youning shook his head, "Old Liu is still the same Old Liu, he hasn't changed at all."
Upon hearing this, Liu Huaimin knew that these two guys were behind it all.
"If you two don't drink, this isn't over tonight!"
Liu Huaimin picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for the two of them. In an instant, Yang Youning felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
"Old Liu, it's free, two hours, can we postpone the drink for now?"
"Keep dreaming."
"Old Liu, you've changed."
How's your computer setup going?
Old Huang asked casually, and Yang Xiaotao shrugged, "Everything is ready except for the east wind."
"East Wind?"
Old Xia put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. "What east wind?"
Yang Xiaotao chewed on a piece of pig's head meat with a smile in his eyes, "The new computers have been put into production, the new printers have also been made and are in production, and there are other preparations, everything is in order."
"It's all about who jumps the most enthusiastically."
Old Sun asked curiously, "Who do you think it could be?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "It's hard to say."
"However, I hope that the Japanese islands can perform better, so that we can have fewer concerns when we make our move."
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter again.
"Well said. If they really jump out and become the first ones to speak out, it would be really satisfying to slap them like that."
Old Niu spoke in a deep, muffled voice, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.
"However, are you adequately prepared?"
Old Huang was still a little worried. After all, he didn't know much about computers, but he also knew that some things didn't have to be the best. As long as they were usable, it was fine to make do.
Just like the machine tools of their Ministry of Machine Building.
Seeing that Elder Huang and the others were still worried, Yang Xiaotao explained, "Don't worry, this time it will be absolutely foolproof."
Then he looked at everyone and asked, "Do you know why the computer we made this time is called the Sun 75 and not the Dawn II?"
"What?"
Old Sun, a professional straight man, immediately said to Yang Xiaotao, "Because they're not even on the same level."
"To give an example, if the overall score of Dawn One is one."
"With a score of 75 from the 'Sunshine' rating, that's a ten."
"The difference between the two sides is an order of magnitude."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the crowd might not understand why it was a difference of one order of magnitude, but ten to one was nine, and that was enough.
Of course, they were unaware that the highest possible score in Yang Xiaotao's rating system was one hundred points.
"So when are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity?"
When Elder Xia asked again, Yang Xiaotao made a six-pointed hand gesture.
Everyone understood that the rumors had been circulating that it would start on June 1st, and now seeing Yang Xiaotao's gesture, they knew that the matter was confirmed.
"Where can we borrow the east wind?"
Old Huang asked seriously, and Yang Xiaotao replied, "Old Chen and Li Rong discussed it and said they would follow the previous route again."
"The source is in Hong Kong."
"Hong Kong is not bad."
Old Huang nodded in agreement, "It's not only a world-renowned trading center, but also a hub for global intelligence."
"The world will probably find out about the Sun75's appearance there very soon."
Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile.
After finishing their drinks and dinner, everyone dispersed, and Yang Xiaotao took a car home.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw someone waiting for him.
"Old Yu, is it really necessary for us to go this far?"
Upon recognizing who it was, Yang Xiaotao began to complain.
They're both at headquarters, so it's not like they can't see each other.
It's a good thing Xiaowei was there; otherwise, it would have been really frightening for someone to come out in the middle of the night.
Yu Zecheng walked up to Yang Xiaotao, his face serious.
Even without Yu Zecheng saying a word, Yang Xiaotao knew from the other party's expression that nothing good was coming.
And it's certain that this is no small matter.
"Tell me, what happened this time?"
Yang Xiaotao spoke casually, while Yu Zecheng took out a cigarette and lit it.
"There's a problem with the school's tuition subsidy."
Yang Xiaotao, with a cigarette stubbed out, suddenly looked up. "Is there a problem?"
"Wasn't it resolved already?"
However, Yang Xiaotao had mentioned to Ran Qiuye last time that some local departments had misappropriated education funds, but this was later stopped.
Why did it appear again?
Yu Zecheng took a deep breath, then nodded. "Yes, it was resolved earlier, but..."
"This time, it's even more complicated."
