After leaving the research institute, Yang Xiaotao walked straight to the office building.
Yang Xiaotao has already handed over the matter of the 18th Research Institute to Qian Lao and Han Sanfeng for help.
The place already has it, and it has already been rearranged.
Regarding the equipment, Lu Xurong needs to make a list. He should personally make the nine items that can be made, and buy the rest.
In terms of manpower, Lu Xurong can transfer some people from his original unit, and also find a group of people from the nine talent training schools.
This is also how other research institutes recruit talent.
Once everything is in place, Lu Xurong can begin his formal work.
Back in his office, Yang Xiaotao had barely taken a sip of water and sat down when there was a knock on the door.
Liu Lixue walked in from outside and then quickly said, "President Yang, Old Huang and the others have already entered through the main gate. Should we greet them here?"
Yang Xiaotao put down his water glass and said, "No need, just go directly to the ceremony hall."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao picked up the documents on the table and quickly left.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People, we saw two jeeps stop one after the other, and then Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang got out of the cars.
Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"You two planned to come here together, didn't you?"
Yang Xiaotao held Huang Lao's hand and casually joked.
Old Huang looked at Old Zhang, then smiled and said, "I met Old Zhang on the way here, we just said hello and came together."
"What, haven't the others arrived yet?"
Old Zhang looked around and, not seeing anyone else, asked.
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "No, you two are the first ones to arrive."
Just then, a jeep came from a distance. Old Huang glanced at it and then laughed, "Old Wang is quick too, arriving so early."
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "Him? He comes several times a day."
After saying that, the car stopped, and Old Wang got out with a big laugh. "Old Huang, Old Zhang, you've arrived quite early."
Then he walked up to Yang Xiaotao and said, "I heard today is the final rehearsal, so we should take a good look at this."
"Otherwise, I'll have to stay home and watch TV."
Mr. Huang joked, "You can come that day too; you might even be an award presenter."
Old Wang shook his head, "This isn't our Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, what business is it of mine to come here?"
"And it would make our people feel comfortable if they saw it."
As Old Wang spoke, he turned to Yang Xiaotao and asked, "Have you decided who will ultimately win the grand prize?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "It's basically settled."
"Who? Which one?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "I can't tell you."
Old Wang scoffed, "I know that even if you don't tell me!"
The three waited at the door for a while and then ran into Old Zhao from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building and Old Zhou from the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building. Yang Xiaotao hadn't told anyone about the Ninth Ministry's rehearsal, but the group was very interested in the Ninth Ministry's Spring Festival performance. They came together without prior arrangement.
After chatting for a while, Yang Xiaotao led them directly into the Great Hall.
"General Manager Yang, Leader..."
When Yang Youning saw Yang Xiaotao bring people in, he quickly put down his work and went up to greet them.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked around at the scene that had been set up. There was a live broadcast device in the middle of the aisle, where several technicians were setting it up.
"Old Yang, have all the actors been arranged?"
Yang Youning nodded and said, "Old Chen just came over and said that the program order has been arranged and the actors have already eaten and are all in place."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Old Zhang, who was standing next to him, noticed the camera in front of him and asked, "Are you going to do a live broadcast this time too?"
Yang Youning nodded again, then smiled at Zhao Lao from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, "This time we should thank the comrades from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. Our rehearsal will be broadcast live on a small scale within the Ninth Ministry."
"In the Ninth Division?"
"Yes, we prepared three television sets and arranged for someone to watch them and offer their opinions."
After listening to Yang Youning's explanation, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
Yang Xiaotao then led the group to sit in the front row, while Yang Youning continued with his work.
"It's getting late, I hope Old Qin isn't not coming."
Old Wang, with his legs crossed, felt that without Old Qin's presence, he couldn't find anyone to talk to.
It's mainly because I enjoy arguing with Lao Qin; it makes me feel good.
Upon hearing what Elder Wang said, Elder Huang said directly, "Old Qin probably won't be coming."
"The logistics department is in a mess right now, it's hard to say whether he'll be able to have a good New Year."
After he finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Old Zhang shook his head and sighed.
When he made up his mind to reform the Third Ministry of Machine Building, many people thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill and would affect the revolutionary construction.
Looking back now, if we hadn't been determined to cut away the rotten flesh back then, we would be facing amputation today, just like the logistics department.
"Are you still going to cooperate with the logistics department?"
Old Wang suddenly asked Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao shook his head directly, "I've discussed this issue with Elder Chen and General Peng. The Eagle fighter jet project, originally given to the Logistics Department, has been withdrawn, and our Ninth Department will manufacture it ourselves. The Panda carrier-based aircraft project will be given to the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry."
Old Zhang nodded in agreement; this matter had already been decided long ago.
Upon hearing this, Old Huang immediately smiled and said, "Then congratulations!"
Old Zhang smiled and was very polite.
Old Wang sighed but said nothing.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Gang came in from outside and said, "General Manager Yang, the leaders have arrived."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly led his men out to greet them.
At the entrance, Old Qing personally helped his eldest sister out of the car, which brought smiles to the faces of everyone around.
"I'm not so old that I can't walk yet."
Seeing everyone around her laughing, the eldest sister rolled her eyes at Old Qing.
Old Qing doesn't mind at all. He feels like he's getting younger and younger in the past two years. He has fewer burdens on his shoulders and his mindset has become younger.
After the two got out of the car, Yang Xiaotao, Li Hongfeng, and Huang Lao and others rushed forward to greet them.
"We're just spectators today, here to watch the fun. Please don't make a big deal out of it."
Old Qing smiled and greeted everyone, while the eldest sister nodded in agreement, "The Spring Festival performance you organized last time received very positive feedback from many comrades."
"But the venue is only so big, and many of our comrades are out of town and can't see it." "They're thrilled when they find out about this live broadcast you've put together. There will definitely be a lot of people watching on TV, so don't mess it up."
But everyone present knew that this was the first nationally broadcast cultural and entertainment event, so how could the higher-ups not take it seriously?
If anything happens inside, no one can afford to take the blame.
Old Master Qing and his elder sister came this time to give the Ninth Department a heads-up.
"Commander, elder sister, rest assured, we will definitely show our best attitude and the utmost sincerity to present the best performance, so that comrades across the country can watch a conference full of positive energy."
Yang Xiaotao stood by and gave his assurances, while Yang Youning, Chen Gong, and the other nine members of the department behind him nodded excitedly as well.
Qing Lao smiled and nodded, then walked into the Great Hall of the People accompanied by Li Hongfeng and Huang Lao.
Yang Xiaotao waited outside for a while. Soon after, the factory directors from various branches, Bai Jingshu, Sun Guo, and others also came over. After exchanging pleasantries with Yang Xiaotao, some went into the hall, while others waited outside with Yang Xiaotao.
Just before the start time, Li Rong from the foreign trade department drove up, followed by Old Chen, and was then welcomed inside by Xu Yuanshan.
A little while later, a bus pulled up, and the older man got off first, followed by Ran Qiuye, Cuiping, and other rural education officials.
"Uncle, you've arrived."
The uncle stubbed out his cigarette and said with a smile, "We were a little delayed on the way, but we're not late, are we?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "No, no, the timing is perfect."
"That's good, let's go in quickly."
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward again, his gaze sweeping over Ran Qiuye, who raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then they entered the Great Hall together.
Soon, everyone greeted each other again, and then took their seats as arranged by Zhao Gang.
Old Qing sat in the middle, Old Chen and his uncle sat on either side, and Yang Xiaotao's older sister sat on both sides.
Ran Qiuye was originally scheduled to sit in the back row, but her older sister called her over, so she ended up in the front row.
With everything ready, Yang Youning took a deep breath, then nodded to the four hosts, and the performance officially began.
The four hosts made their appearances in turn.
Among them was Xiao Suizi, whom Yang Xiaotao had met in the cultural troupe earlier.
The remaining three were also from the performing arts troupe. They had all developed excellent oratory skills through their regular performances.
Two men and two women took to the stage and immediately launched into a song, quickly warming up the atmosphere.
The audience applauded and danced from time to time.
"Next, please enjoy the Yellow River Cantata, led by Zhang Qing."
As the first program began, the stage gradually filled with people. Then, under the direction of a conductor, Zhang Qing stood in front of the microphone and began to sing.
Then, in an orderly fashion, various dances, crosstalk performances, and songs appeared on the stage one after another.
In Yang Xiaotao's view, this was a standard, unremarkable program.
In today's entertainment-scarce era, these entertainment activities are the best spiritual nourishment.
Moreover, Yang Xiaotao did a lot of work for this performance.
For example, the skit performance format was introduced to the public ahead of time due to his intervention.
This performance style officially entered the public eye in 1984 during the Spring Festival Gala, where the "eating noodles" performance was very popular.
It's just a pity that it happened later.
Yang Xiaotao explained the requirements to the performing arts troupe, and the troupe also composed a piece called "Today's Good Day." He looked at it and found it to be realistic, just average.
However, in the eyes of the audience, this unusual performance style was very novel and well-received.
Sitting in the audience, watching the skit being performed on stage, it was as if a broad road stretched out before Mr. Chen's eyes.
"Today is a Red Day" tells the story of a day in the life of a steel rolling mill worker, a day filled with surprises and pride.
This path, which began at the steel rolling mill, has been taken step by step, slowly but surely, to reach where it is today.
Looking back, Mr. Chen's heart was filled with turmoil.
In the past, he wouldn't have needed to put so much effort into this kind of work.
As long as you have a good grasp of the general process, you'll be fine.
As long as there are no problems during the performance, it's acceptable.
Anyway, the performances were all held within the Ninth Department, and everyone just wanted to have some fun. In addition, the main event was the awards ceremony, with the honors going to the workers.
Therefore, he doesn't care much about the quality or effect of the performance.
But this time it's different.
Since the Ninth Department proposed a live television broadcast, it was like a thunderclap in spring that resounded across China, truly like the revival of all things.
First came the production and sales of television sets, and now even the television manufacturers don't know how many units have been sold.
Even better, larger color televisions are in short supply.
That's right, it's a case of supply falling short of demand.
At first, he couldn't understand whether it was worth it to buy a color TV that cost several hundred yuan when he only earned a few dozen yuan a month.
The key question is, do we have that much money?
It wasn't until New Year's Day, when I took a trip to the countryside, that I realized things had really changed.
A primary school was set up in the village, and spurred by the school-attending bonus, the adults in the village sent their children to school.
In the past two years, the children who graduated from the school have begun to enter various industries. Some have become school teachers, which has supplemented the teaching staff of more schools and allowed more children to enter the classroom.
Some became workers, using their knowledge to continuously weave the dream of revolution and construction.
In addition, there is an increase in the amount of grain in the village.
With the continuous support of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in recent years, high-yield crops have emerged one after another.
The emergence of high-yield crops such as hybrid corn, hybrid rice, and hybrid wheat has enabled farmers to grow more food.
The use of chemical fertilizers further ensured high grain yields.
Nowadays, most villages in the countryside can be considered as surplus grain villages.
With the increased foreign exchange earnings over the years, there is no longer a need to export grain. The village can sell its surplus grain to the state.
With the money earned, it wouldn't be difficult for the village committee to buy a television set.
Furthermore, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building benefited from the construction of signal towers throughout the country, which made live television broadcasts possible.
Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.
From this, he could see that the lives of people in China have indeed improved.
Bang bang bang bang
Just as Mr. Chen was reminiscing, the performance on stage had already ended.
The applause pulled him back to reality. Seeing Elder Qing clapping enthusiastically beside him, Elder Chen also clapped along, then turned to Elder Qing and said, "Today is a good day."
Old Qing listened and nodded solemnly with a smile, "Yes, it's a good day."
