Chapter 262 Focus on the Big Picture
☆
Old Tang took his secretary and his capable subordinates to the Ministry of First Machine Building, visited the relevant person in charge, and handed over the product description.
Many leaders at that time were technical talents themselves, just like He Feng, the person in charge of civil machinery in the First Ministry of Machine Building, who was a mechanical expert.
He was just like Old Tang, engrossed in reading the instructions.
Old Tang and the other two were waiting nearby. Xiao Zhao even asked him, "Do you understand how Deputy County Chief Xie feels now?"
Old Tang: “…”
What sin had he committed?
"Ahem." Old Tang cleared his throat and asked He Feng, "Director He, we want to produce this. What do you think?"
He Feng slammed the table and said, "Make it! Ask us for anything you need. This machine can be sold overseas after it's made."
"I thought so too. But the first one has already been ordered. After we build it, we can take it to the Canton Fair to display it and start taking orders, but we can't sell the first one to them."
"Who decided that?"
"The Qushui County State-Owned Food Factory is a welfare enterprise in our Eastern Province, specifically used to accommodate rescued women. Even this equipment was researched and designed by Qushui County. They're currently building the factory, and once it's finished, we'll have the equipment ready and ready to use after some debugging. They're waiting for it. We've already signed the contract."
He Feng nodded. "Since the contract has been signed, we still have to follow it. It is indeed the other party's decision. The experts are among the people! The funds for producing the first machine were provided by the department. They did the research. We don't need to pay them specifically. Giving them a machine is the right thing to do."
"I thought so too. Should we set up a project for this in the ministry?"
"Yes. It should be approved. You guys hurry up and I'll organize people to inspect it later."
They stayed in Beijing for a day and a half, and He Feng prepared the documents for the First Ministry of Machine Building to entrust the First Machinery Factory of Eastern Province to design and manufacture biscuit production lines and instant noodle production lines.
Director Tang and his team set off for Dong Province with the documents. As a good leader who cares about his subordinates, he asked Xiao Zhao, "Do you want to go home and take a look? If so, we can leave tomorrow."
Xiao Zhao said: "No. I won't do personal business during official business hours."
Director Tang's kindness was betrayed, so he asked Wu Zhongyun, "If you pass by Jinshi, will you go home to visit?"
Wu Zhongyun said, "No, hurry back to work. Don't dwell on these things all the time, just focus on your work. I think the reason you're losing so much hair is because you worry too much. If you only think about work, you might not go bald."
Director Tang: “…”
If I talk to you again, I'll be a pig!

After placing the order, Xie Yun returned to Taoyuan Commune to concentrate on machine tool research.
Her attention has been rather scattered during this period, but others have been busy as well. The heavy-duty trucks being modified for the East Province Automobile Factory have been completed.
Li Zhixin called Li Dongshan and asked him to send someone to take it away.
Li Dongshan came in person.
Li Zhixin asked doubtfully, "You've been very free lately?"
"What? How could I possibly be free? I just came here to personally express my gratitude to everyone."
He's so busy, okay?
Xie Yun asked him, "Do you want to learn about the progress of machine tools?"
"Not really. I've already spoken to Old Yan about the machine tool, telling him to wait and not rush. But Old Yan told me that if we can use this machine tool to build that car, improve the engine, and elevate the overall level of the auto industry, then the machine tool will be worth the money. It doesn't matter whether we can improve it or not, you've already made a significant contribution."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "He's quite easy to talk to."
"Old Yan is a man who looks at the big picture. We all are."
Pan Changqing said, "Don't worry, and don't worry about it either. We must produce results on machine tools. This isn't for you or him, but, as you said, for the greater good. The steel industry is fundamental, and so are machine tools. Without good machine tools, we can't make good products. This problem must be solved. It's crucial to the overall level of the industry."
Li Dongshan nodded as he listened.
In fact, Lao Yan also said this later. He said: "Since they are sincerely concerned about the country, machine tool research is an issue that cannot be avoided. This difficult problem must be solved sooner or later. I am not worried, and you don't need to rush them."
Of course he wouldn't rush them. These people were already on edge, and he couldn't afford to give them another push.

The food factory would have to wait a little longer, but Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi were also busy. They organized a food factory preparatory committee and began to discuss the details.
Every aspect was considered and discussed, including what to name the product, how to package it, how to secure the raw materials, and how to sell it. Then, Ren Xiuzhen wrote the results into a report and handed it to Xie Yun.
Xie Yun took a look and praised, "It's very well written. So, come with me to the county. County Magistrate Zhong is in charge of industry, so you can communicate directly with him from now on. The equipment will be ready by June, and the factory building will be almost ready by then. Before then, we have to start recruiting and training workers. You have a lot to do."
Ren Xiuzhen took a deep breath and said, "I know. I'm not afraid. There are so many people helping me."
This was completely different from the entrepreneurship she knew in her previous life. In her previous life, if you wanted to start a business, you faced all kinds of difficulties, competition, and obstacles. Now, if you want to start a business, as long as your idea is reasonable, feasible, and helpful to society, many people will step forward and help you wholeheartedly.
Although the final profit does not belong to you personally, it does not belong to anyone else either. It belongs to the country and to all employees. Everyone will remember your kindness, the country will remember you, and society will remember you.
If the state-owned enterprise fails to perform well in the future, she can still buy it privately and it will still belong to her.
Of course, she felt the business wouldn't be in trouble; everyone had good business acumen. As long as they could keep up with the times and make appropriate adjustments, the factory would definitely be able to continue operating.
When she first came into this world, she had imagined seizing opportunities to make a fortune and live a life of freedom. When she first started planning to open a food factory, she still thought that once the economy opened up, she would hand over the factory to Liushutun and she would still have to go out and make money. At that time, she had only thought of running a small factory, but she didn't expect that the factory would become a large state-owned enterprise.
Although she had not been here long, her thoughts had changed. She was no longer so obsessed with becoming rich.
Now, she kind of wants to be like Xie Yun, Ji Xiang, and Yan Guixiang, become a person within the system, and have a certain say, so that she will have the opportunity to make the world a better place.
She had the opportunity to travel through time and space, and if she only focused on living a good life and gave up the chance to change the world, she would feel guilty.
In her previous life, she surfed the Internet all day long, witnessed all kinds of injustices, and left comments online every day. However, the final results often made her feel helpless.
Now that the opportunity has come, can she not seize it?
