Chapter 3363 They're all Yang Xiaotao's people

Upon hearing that the mission was complete, everyone immediately showed signs of relief.

Especially Mr. Xu from the fifth grade department and Mr. Zhou from the sixth grade department, they had a significant shortfall in their tasks last year and thought they wouldn't be able to complete them. They will be criticized at today's meeting.

But no one expected that Yang Xiaotao would bring back a huge order after going out, an order that would allow them to complete their mission.

The key point is that the deadline for this order is still some time before the Chinese New Year, so it can be counted as part of last year.

Of course, this is a bit of a stretch, since other departments calculate according to the calendar year, from January to December.

However, they were calculating according to the lunar calendar.

Anyway, they've completed their mission; we'll talk about next year later.

At least now I can attend meetings with peace of mind, without worrying about holding everyone back!

No one else had any objections to this.

However, Elder Chen's praise of the Ninth Division still made some people uneasy.

In terms of capability, management, and influence, the Ninth Division has far surpassed them.

Even the combined total of the first to eighth levels of departments might not be able to match the ninth level.

This also significantly increased the pressure on everyone.

Moreover, this year's annual meeting is probably also a preparation for next year.

Based on everyone's understanding of Elder Chen, the difficulty and workload of next year's tasks will only increase.

Therefore, everyone, including Yang Xiaotao, looked more serious.

After saying a few words, Old Chen looked at everyone again and said, "Next, let's talk about the second thing."

Yang Xiaotao and the others were also taken aback, not expecting the meeting to proceed so quickly, with the first matter being finished in just 5 minutes.

The key point is that there's no mention of next year's tasks!

This is so unusual!

So much so that when Old Chen was speaking, Yang Xiaotao, Old Huang, and the others exchanged glances and all became serious.

If Old Chen isn't going to talk about such a big task next year, then what he's about to say must be something big as well.

Then, Old Chen said earnestly, "A few years ago, we established the High-tech Industry Research Laboratory!"

"The aim is to promote innovation and development of high-tech industries in China, and also to accelerate the process of revolutionary construction..."

"Many of you are nominally affiliated with the research lab, or even serve as its director or staff member!"

"But how many meetings have you held since the High-Tech Industry Research Office was established?"

"Aside from assigning tasks a few times, have you taken this matter to heart?"

Old Chen's gaze swept over everyone, and the conference room fell into a solemn atmosphere.

Those few words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Many people turned their attention to Yang Xiaotao. Old Wang across from him stared at Yang Xiaotao, convinced that he had snitched.

But Yang Xiaotao had no such intention at all, and faced everyone's gazes calmly without the slightest fear.

But I was still a little uneasy.

Everyone glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then turned their attention to Old Chen.

Old Chen looked serious, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making two quick taps, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

Finally, Mr. Chen said, "Starting this year, the High-tech Industry Research Office should play its role and become an important link in guiding economic development."

"As the head of the laboratory, Comrade Yang Xiaotao must shoulder this responsibility."

Yang Xiaotao instinctively stood up, nodded, and said, "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Old Chen remained expressionless as he swept his gaze across the crowd once more. "Everyone else must cooperate unconditionally!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people gasped softly.

Old Zhao and Old Zhou exchanged a glance, their faces stiffening.

This is serious!

Old Chen gestured for Yang Xiaotao to sit down, and then said again, "After the New Year, the office of the High-tech Industry Research Office will be right next to mine."

"Starting this month, the research lab will be implementing a shift system!"

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao is in charge of overall management. Each of your eight machine departments will send one person per month to take turns handling daily tasks!"

"At the same time, all matters related to high-tech industries will be handled by the High-tech Industries Office, and reported after being signed by Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

"Does anyone have a problem with this?"

Upon hearing what Elder Chen said, everyone suddenly became serious.

This is equivalent to setting up a new office under the Economic Office. Although this department has existed for a long time, it was originally under the Ninth Department, but now it is officially recognized!

This means that in the future, any high-tech industries related to the Ninth Department will require Yang Xiaotao's approval to proceed; any attempt to submit a report will be futile without his approval.

Several people glanced at Yang Xiaotao, but few voiced any objection.

After all, Yang Xiaotao has been in charge of organizing the so-called high-tech industry research lab all these years.

The projects they participated in were all led by the Ninth Department.

Without nine departments, there's no point in developing new industries!

Furthermore, even though this year's tasks have been completed, next year's tasks will continue.

Moreover, judging from this year's situation, the workload next year will only be greater.

They were able to complete their mission this year thanks to the help of the Ninth Division; without the Ninth Division, it would have been very difficult for them to succeed.

Especially Zhao Lao from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building looked at Yang Xiaotao with great goodwill.

The reason why the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was able to stand out this time was purely because of Yang Xiaotao; otherwise, the pager would not have fallen into their laps.

Moreover, the profit margin for pagers is increasing every month.

Leaving aside domestic markets, internationally, countries like Japan and South Goguryeo have always been in high demand.

Secondly, Southeast Asia has also gradually become a potential user region for pagers.

In the coming year, I dare not say anything else, but they can double their profits from pagers!

According to Yang Xiaotao, paging devices will be phased out in the future, and what will replace them is something called a PHS phone. He is not sure about the details now, but this is part of the High-tech Industry Research Lab and an important project they are cooperating on with the Ninth Department.

Building a good relationship with Yang Xiaotao is entirely beneficial.

Moreover, given Yang Xiaotao's current status and the high regard he enjoys among his superiors.

Taking this step is only a matter of time.

Old Huang and Old Zhang exchanged a smile, then looked at Yang Xiaotao with a leisurely air, just like when they were drinking during the New Year.

Old Wang smacked his lips, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over Old Qin.

The two used to bicker quite a bit, but now Old Qin's gaze towards Yang Xiaotao is different from before.

Thinking of that oil pipeline, Old Wang cursed inwardly, "Old fox."

Meanwhile, Old Tao from the Eighth Machinery Department seemed to be asleep.

Old Wang glanced at the old man and wondered how he could be so calm.

The next moment, I remembered.

Yang Xiaotao, this guy, apparently has some kind of honorary title from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

The statues are all located at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Depend on!

It seems that most of the people in this room are Yang Xiaotao's men!

Thinking of this, Old Wang recalled his relationship with Yang Xiaotao.

Then I thought of Mr. Qian, and Mr. Ran…

then…

Old Wang stopped thinking about it. He realized that, based on this relationship, almost everyone present was Yang Xiaotao's man!

After listening to what Old Chen said, Liu Huaimin, who was sitting behind Old Huang, immediately looked at Yang Xiaotao, who was sitting calmly to the side.

An indescribable excitement welled up inside me.

Of all those present, if we were to ask who had the most contact with Yang Xiaotao, he would undoubtedly be the one.

In his eyes, Yang Xiaotao's past passed by as quickly as a slideshow.

The apprentices in Workshop 3, then the fitters, the engineers…

Scenes flashed through his mind, and Liu Huaimin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with joy and pride.

They all came from the steel rolling mill!

Behind Old Chen, Tang Mingyue's eyes darted around, her chest pounding.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao sitting there quietly, his upright posture exuded an aura of self-assurance.

Secretary Guo was the most clear-headed person present, because he was the first to know.

However, seeing Tang Mingyue like this, he still muttered to himself, "The whole room is full of Yang Xiaotao's people, who would dare to object?"

After a moment of silence, many people quickly straightened their expressions, and their looks towards Yang Xiaotao softened.

There's no way around it, Yang Xiaotao's resume is just too perfect along the way!

Anyone who takes a look will think to themselves, "This can't be real, can it?"

If it's fake, then it's too fake!

But the problem is, it's true!

Those nine most dazzling works.

But while luck played a part in transforming it from a small fitter's factory into the behemoth it is today, the most important factor was its strength.

And the Nine Departments represent Yang Xiaotao's strength.

It's safe to say that Yang Xiaotao is now someone no one can envy!

Old Chen took in everyone's expressions and then sighed inwardly.

It's all about timing, fate, and luck!

Yang Xiaotao's success today is not only due to the support of Lao Xia and Lao Huang, but also largely due to his own hard work.

And, that heart that knows how to be grateful.

Putting aside those far away, which of the people present didn't receive help from Yang Xiaotao?

Liu Huaimin could never have reached the position of Party Secretary of the First Ministry of Machine Building without Yang Xiaotao's help!

Old Qin, without Yang Xiaotao's suggestion, given the mess that the logistics department was in, how could such a great opportunity have fallen into his lap?

And then there's Lao Xia, needless to say.

Being in charge of the West-East Gas Pipeline project is enough for him to achieve fame and success!

Following Yang Xiaotao was so smooth!

Even Old Chen himself felt that things had become much smoother since Yang Xiaotao gained momentum.

At the very least, the increasing foreign exchange reserves year after year are a tangible achievement.

Despite their many thoughts, everyone present silently agreed!

However, just as Old Chen was about to speak, a round of applause suddenly rang out.

Old Wang looked at Old Qin in surprise, and his hands involuntarily started clapping along.

I was furious.

This guy beat me to it.

Bang bang bang bang

Loud applause erupted.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao blushed and became restless.

They only stopped when Old Chen smiled and raised his hand!

"Since no one has any objections, let's proceed accordingly!"

After saying that, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Don't let your comrades down!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "Understood!"

After speaking earnestly, Old Chen looked at Li Rong standing to the side.

Everyone followed Elder Chen's gaze and looked at Li Rong, who in turn looked at the crowd.

Li Rong nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his expression calm. "Comrades!"

"I'm here today for two reasons: first, to meet everyone!"

He smiled at everyone and said, "The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and our foreign trade department has prepared a lot of New Year's goods. If you are interested, you can contact us after the meeting!"

Old Huang and the others all smiled.

Imported goods are in high demand due to foreign trade.

Of course, it's not cheap either!

After Li Rong finished speaking, she continued, "Secondly, I have something to tell you all."

At this point, Li Rong's gaze fell on Yang Xiaotao. "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, did you pay attention to the local economic situation when you went out last time?"

Yang Xiaotao was taken aback, then blinked and shook his head, saying, "The local economic situation? I really haven't paid attention to that."

Old Chen snorted coldly, "You went out for a short while and now you're taking people out to play?"

Yang Xiaotao quickly lowered his head, and everyone laughed along.

However, a thought quickly flashed through his mind, and then he glanced at Li Rong beside him before quickly looking up and saying, "But now that you've reminded me, I've actually discovered something!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the conference room fell silent again.

Then Yang Xiaotao said, "The prices here are probably a bit higher. Even a souvenir we bought was more expensive than in Persia."

Li Rong nodded to the side, but the others didn't seem to care much.

It's just a regional difference.

However, Tang Mingyue felt a little awkward when her gaze fell on Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "Moreover, when I was chatting with Faisal, he mentioned that their country's economy is too dependent on oil, which makes the prices of imported industrial products too high."

"So they want to establish their own industry and manufacturing sector."

"but…"

Yang Xiaotao shrugged. "They clearly don't pay enough attention to this. So far, there aren't many factories in China that do."

"Of course, they don't need to work; they can just dig a couple of barrels of oil whenever they have free time."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Old Wang said enviously, "Who can argue with that? Just digging two barrels of oil is enough to make a living. Who would bother with all that trouble!"

Old Qin glanced at Old Wang and said, "Old Wang, diligence leads to mastery while idleness leads to ruin; success comes from careful planning and failure from following blindly."

"Without a sense of crisis, things could easily go wrong!"

"It's still a good thing that they're doing this!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Li Rong nodded, "That's right!"

He then addressed the crowd, saying, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao is right. Recently, or rather, since the first oil crisis, this situation has occurred in desert and other oil-producing countries!"

"Moreover, since last year, we have received reports from all over the world that prices of goods are rising rapidly."

"Especially in the United States, the rise in oil prices has caused the prices of other chemical products to rise to varying degrees, indirectly affecting the price increases of other commodities!"

At this point, everyone was still somewhat confused, not understanding what Li Rong was trying to say.

But Yang Xiaotao, who was sitting to the side, suddenly widened his eyes.
