Chapter 3351 Preparing for Succession
Department Nine, computer production and assembly workshop.
Yang Xiaotao stood with Mr. Chen and Li Rong in the visitor corridor, looking at the scene through the glass.
Behind him were Huang Degong, Lu Tao, Wang Kun, and others.
Looking at the busy workers, Old Chen casually asked, "What are they busy with inside right now...?"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and began to introduce, "What is currently underway is the assembly of a new type of processor. This processor uses the ZWZ2.0 system."
At this point, Yang Xiaotao looked at Li Rong.
The latter's expression did not change when he saw Yang Xiaotao looking over.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao's face was full of dissatisfaction.
Seeing the two of them like this, Old Chen didn't say anything more, but just nodded from time to time as he watched the busy workers.
Yang Xiaotao had a problem with Li Rong because the other party was too radical in her actions.
When the operating system was completed, he informed Mr. Chen of the news. However, he had already made it clear at the time that the new system still needed to be tested and would only be released when everything was ready.
Yang Xiaotao felt that it would take at least six months.
As a result, Mr. Chen told Li Rong the news, and Li Rong went directly to Yang Xiaotao, saying that she wanted to announce the successful development of the new system to the public.
Yang Xiaotao was naturally against it, for the same reason he had just mentioned: the system had not yet been tested and there were no problems.
After all, this was modified from the QDOS operating system. Even though the system gave it an excellent rating and awarded it 20,000 credits, it still couldn't completely put Yang Xiaotao at ease.
Because an operating system is an operating system and a processor is a processor, a good operating system does not necessarily mean that the processor is compatible.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Yang Xiaotao didn't dare gamble on even a one in ten thousand chance; what if the system computer had compatibility issues?
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao has always been opposed to it.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the final say when it came to foreign trade.
With Li Rong's encouragement and the leader's ambiguous message, the news was spread, resulting in Yang Xiaotao having to complete the system evaluation as soon as possible.
At the same time, we must also coordinate with foreign trade work.
This completely disrupted his plans.
Li Rong naturally understood Yang Xiaotao's thoughts, but she also had her own considerations, so she said, "Isn't the current situation quite good? As soon as our news got out, computer sales immediately increased by 30%."
"Thirty percent, that's 30%! It's almost the end of the year, do you know how much that is?"
Yang Xiaotao ignored her and said calmly, "You value quantity, but I have to consider quality."
"If our operating system has problems, it's equivalent to losing credibility and ruining our reputation."
Upon hearing this, Li Rong laughed and said, "I trust your credibility."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless. "Thank you for valuing me."
Li Rong raised an eyebrow. "You're welcome. Continue."
"Alright, alright, you two, stop talking nonsense."
Old Chen couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
When Li Rong told him that Britain was collaborating with many countries to research computers, he didn't show any reaction on the surface, but he was still worried in his heart, fearing that a situation like Dawn One would happen again.
Moreover, the situation of Jiaoyang 75 is even more severe than that of Chenxi 1.
To be fair, Dawn 1 dominated the scene for several years and made all the money it deserved.
The Sun75 has only been on the market for a little over a year. If it were to be copied by the other party now, how much money would we lose?
Fortunately, no other computers have been reported to have been made yet, and Yang Xiaotao has also developed a new operating system, which is equivalent to a comprehensive upgrade for the entire Jiaoyang 75.
By the way, this "upgrade" was said by Yang Xiaotao, and his words carry a lot of authority.
Upon hearing Old Chen's words, Yang Xiaotao and Li Rong stopped talking about what was happening in front of them and instead looked at the busy crowd in front of them.
Li Rong spoke again, "How do you plan to roll out the new operating system?"
Yang Xiaotao sighed, "We've already said it, what else can we do? We'll just have to work overtime."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's reaction, Li Rong's eyes darted around and she laughed again, "Alright, alright, I know this is a bit underhanded."
"So, we've purchased some tropical fruits from Southeast Asia; you nine departments..."
"Of course I want it!"
Before Li Rong could finish speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately agreed, "The New Year is almost here, and I'm still worried about my New Year's benefits."
After saying that, he looked at the workshop and said seriously, "It's almost December now, it's better to wait until after New Year's Day to launch it now."
"The new computer will be called the Sun 76, and it will use the new operating system ZWZ 2.0."
Li Rong nodded. She had also thought of this; they would sell the finished products directly.
But then he asked, "What about all those Jiaoyang 75s we sold in the early stages?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "We also thought of this aspect, so according to the plan, we made it into a disk. As long as this disk is put into the Jiaoyang 75 computer, the operating system can be upgraded. However, this technology is not yet mature, and we are still developing it."
Old Chen asked curiously, "Is it difficult?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "It's not difficult."
Old Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately kicked him, "Don't be so serious!"
"Oh dear, Mr. Chen, that's why you asked."
Yang Xiaotao dodged to the side.
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
The group then continued their tour of the factory, from production to assembly and finally to quality inspection.
"Was that a little girl?"
Old Chen suddenly stood not far away, looking at the petite figure sitting in front of the computer in the distance.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and was about to start introducing himself.
Li Rong then smiled and said, "Isn't that Yueyue?"
Old Chen looked closely and realized that it was none other than Yang Xiaotao's second daughter, Yang Jiayue.
As soon as he finished speaking, both of them looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao, however, put on a nonchalant air and said, "That girl has some talent. When you have free time, have her come over to help out and learn from her."
Looking at Yang Xiaotao's lips that he couldn't suppress, Old Chen and Li Rong were speechless.
However, it must be said that the Yang family's children all seem to be quite good.
Let's not even talk about the eldest sister, Miao Miao. I heard that this girl has learned a lot of skills and is quite capable. She is no match for two or three ordinary men, and she has been determined to develop in the direction of public security since she was a child.
With such ambition and unwavering perseverance, it would be strange if this girl didn't succeed.
Thinking of this, Li Rong thought of her own children. Although they were much older than Miao Miao, they were not necessarily as good as Miao Miao.
Of course, since her own sons were of the same generation as Yang Xiaotao, Li Rong decided not to think about it anymore.
Miao Miao is like that, and so is Duanwu. Although Yang Xiaotao thinks Duanwu is still a bit too ordinary, in the eyes of others, Duanwu is already very good.
After all, he's a kid who's won two 'champions' titles.
Seeing the youngest son of the Yang family now involved in research and development at such a young age, Li Rong suddenly felt that Yang Xiaotao's expectations for his children might be higher than she had imagined.
Or is it that Yang Xiaotao is now grooming a successor?
Li Rong thought to herself, then followed the others and left the factory.
"We must press our advantage." As soon as they stepped out of the workshop, Li Rong couldn't wait to speak.
Old Chen looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "And you? What are your thoughts?"
Li Rong's suggestion to press the attack while the momentum was building required Yang Xiaotao's cooperation.
If the nine departments cannot produce any tangible evidence, then they can only remain talking about it.
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Our Ninth Division will fully cooperate."
Seeing this, Li Rong smiled with satisfaction.
"By the way, I have a funny story for you guys."
On the way back, Li Rong began to laugh.
Yang Xiaotao and Old Chen both looked curious. "What kind of fun is this? I don't believe anything from China."
Yang Xiaotao spoke directly, "I won't talk about the domestic stuff either, I'm tired of hearing about the magic stuff from the other side, or the stuff from South Korea."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao still nitpicking, Li Rong reached out and poked him in the back, saying, "You're really picking on me, aren't you!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, and then Li Rong began to speak, "This matter really isn't theirs. Boss, didn't you receive a message from the alliance a while before the New Year?"
Old Chen nodded. "Ah, right! It was a while ago, when the new operating system was just announced, that I received a message from them saying they wanted to cooperate."
Yang Xiaotao laughed, "Old Chen wants to collaborate again? Why are we always collaborating?"
Old Chen was speechless. "These kinds of cooperation requests have been the most frequent in the last two years. A while ago it was for aircraft research, then satellite research, and then computer and computer research. There are just too many."
"At first we thought it was quite novel, but now it's no longer novel."
Old Chen smiled indifferently, and Li Rong smiled along with him, "This matter has to start from Britain."
"What's wrong? Why are you bringing up Britain again? You're jumping from one topic to another."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Li Rong clapped his hands and said, "It is said that three crows have infiltrated the Computer Institute at Oxford College in Britain."
"It was only later that we learned that the academic papers of these three crows were all fake, and the key point is that these three people were still working on important projects in the research institute."
"You tell me, it's no wonder they can't make it."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Maybe they have a special skill!"
Li Rong shook her head. "I don't know."
"So how were they exposed?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's curious expression, Li Rong suppressed a laugh and said, "We haven't been exposed."
"When they saw that there was nothing worth researching at the British Institute, and the leading professors all fell ill, they simply quit and returned to the Alliance."
"Then the news was released."
"I've heard that..."
"Hahaha~"
Li Rong laughed halfway through her sentence, "This incident made the professor, who had just recovered, so angry that he ended up in the hospital again."
After he finished speaking, they all laughed.
"This alliance is really underhanded. They've already sent people in, so they should just learn from them."
"He ran away before he even learned it, and what's worse, he slapped me twice. That's not fair."
Yang Xiaotao clicked his tongue, his eyes full of mockery.
The others also laughed.
"However, because of this incident, Britain has begun to purge those researchers, and it is said that quite a few people have been arrested."
"By the way, those Japanese who went to Britain have also been placed under house arrest. It's a very tense situation now."
The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the office.
Yang Xiaotao asked Liu Lixue to make tea, and the three of them sat down and continued their conversation about the computer.
"If they release the Sunray 76 next year, does that mean they'll release the Sunray 77 the year after?"
Li Rong suddenly asked.
"Sunshine 77? Wow, you really dare to dream. Will there be a new one every year from now on? Do you think we're hens that lay eggs? One golden egg a year?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled without saying a word.
Li Rong spoke directly, "I'll treat you all as hens that lay golden eggs, and those golden eggs that hatch are no ordinary ones."
Yang Xiaotao smiled without saying a word, "There is no such plan for the time being."
"To put it bluntly, the Sun76 is just a system upgrade. If it wants to make revolutionary progress, it probably won't be available for several years."
"Our next step is to develop computers with better performance, and we may only have these two in the Sun series."
Old Chen and Li Rong exchanged a glance, their faces not showing disappointment but rather anticipation.
From dawn to the blazing sun, this is a qualitative leap.
What Yang Xiaotao is talking about now may be another qualitative improvement, and the two of them are very much looking forward to it.
Old Chen drank a cup of tea, his mood initially pleasant, and then asked again, "How are the CNC machine tools doing there?"
"Galaxy-2 is already in preparation, and judging from the current trend, it's only a matter of time before it's completed," Yang Xiaotao said.
Li Rong glanced at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. He knew very well how difficult Galaxy One had been back then; it was no exaggeration to say that it had taken a lot of brainpower.
But now, Galaxy II speaks of it so easily and casually, these nine parts are truly getting stronger and stronger.
Old Chen felt the same way. Back then, he only thought of the Ninth Department as a locomotive, which was better than the other departments, but only to a limited extent.
But now it seems that the nine-part series is completely out of the lead.
Thinking of this, Old Chen pondered for a moment, then said again, "During the National Day holiday, we had a small meeting, and some comrades proposed that part of the Ninth Department's production capacity be distributed to various regions. What do you think?"
Yang Xiaotao was not surprised when he heard what Old Chen said, as his uncle had told him about this before.
Yang Xiaotao doesn't actually care about the dispersed production capacity.
The only thing that truly brought about a significant improvement to the Nine Departments was the Research Institute, something Yang Xiaotao had planned long ago.
The research institute is responsible for research, innovation, and improvement, while other departments collaborate.
Like a pyramid, the research institute kept climbing upwards, breaking through one barrier after another.
Local industries, on the other hand, are responsible for putting these broken barriers into practice one by one and consolidating their foundation.
After Old Chen finished speaking, Li Rong looked at Yang Xiaotao with some anxiety.
The current achievements in foreign trade are half due to her efforts? No, it should be said that the majority of the credit comes from the Ninth Department, which she naturally opposes.
However, she couldn't say much at the moment, so she could only look at Yang Xiaotao. She saw that Yang Xiaotao always had a smile on his face and casually smiled, "Leader, the Ninth Department belongs to the country and is part of the revolution. We will completely obey the organization's arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lixue trembled all over in the room.
You should know that when he heard his second uncle talk about this at home, he was against it in his heart, but after hearing his second uncle's explanation, he understood that this would only be better for the Ninth Division and would be meaningful for the revolution.
At the same time, she also knew that this was a good thing for Yang Xiaotao as well.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind; a person who excels above others will be criticized by the masses.
The heights are so cold!
Most importantly, Yang Xiaotao is still young.
Of course, what Liu Lixue didn't know was that her second grandfather had one more thing to say.
To take something in advance, you must first give something in return!
Seeing Yang Xiaotao say this, Old Chen smiled with satisfaction. "Let's discuss this matter again next year."
After saying that, Old Chen got up to leave.
