Soon it was noon, and Wu Yanli came over again, "Great talent, have you forgotten something?" Yang Zhiyan, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head when he heard this: "What did I forget?" Swallow, don't have any intrigues! Huh"

Because Wu Yanli has been chirping and quirky since she was a child, everyone calls her Swallow. "Cut, I mean you're completely healed, shouldn't you treat those of us who care about you to a meal to thank you!" It turned out to be this, Yang Zhi said generously, "No problem, I invite you to a big meal today!" As he spoke, he called the other two young people in the office, Tang Xiaozhou and Kuang Ping, to go to dinner together.

"Yo, Xiao Yang wants to have a treat! Am I the only one? Sister Wang in the office made a joke. Sister Wang, what are you talking about? Usually you care so much about me, you must invite you to dinner! Let's go, let's go! Yang Zhi smiled and sent out an invitation. It's better for you young people! I have to go home and cook for the kids! ”

Although it is said that it is a big meal, in the early 80s, the standard of living was not too high, and everyone did not have much money, and even if there were not as many high, medium and low-end restaurants as everywhere in later generations, there were no more high, medium and low-end restaurants for you to choose from, so in fact, it was just going to the cafeteria. Of course, in addition to the big pot dishes, there are also small stir-fried dishes in the canteen. After ordering a few home-cooked dishes, everyone was on the move. Because they were all young people, the little food they ate in the morning had already been digested, and everyone began to eat it in large gulps.

"What is Director Tang looking for you for? Looking mysterious", Wu Yanli asked while eating. "Oh, it's nothing, it just asked me to write a new product development plan," Yang Zhi replied vaguely with a large mouthful of rice. "It's a plan again! In the past two years, the factory has not known how many times new product development has been carried out, and every time we toss the people in our department, but what are the big results! Kuang Ping couldn't help but complain.

It turned out that since the state no longer issued the plan indicators, the main products in the planned economy era could not find a good market for a while, and the economic benefits were declining, so they wanted to make some new products to revive sales. However, due to the constraints of traditional concepts and the inaccurate grasp of market demand, it has not produced much effect.

"This time it's different!" Yang Zhi chewed a large piece of fried tofu and said confidently. "What do you mean?" Hearing this, Wu Yanli, Kuang Ping and Tang Xiaozhou all stopped their chopsticks and stared at Yang Zhi curiously. "Do you know why our factory's tractors are not as good as they used to be?" Yang Zhi's question made the three of them look at each other, "This, this ......" Looking at their bitter looks, Yang Zhi gave the answer: "The reason why sales are declining is not because the product itself is not good. I think everyone knows that our Dongfanghong series tractors are durable, have strong carrying capacity, and fuel consumption is not too high. ”

"Why is that?" Wu Yanli couldn't help but ask. "It's because our products don't meet the needs of the market! After all, now the state no longer directly issues indicators for Dongfanghong tractors, and the demand for large tractors in general projects is not so large, and now agricultural production needs small tractors! So I should change the direction of production and focus on the production of small small tractors! "Ahh Yang Zhi's words made Wu Yanli stunned, and even Tang Xiaozhou and Kuang Ping, who were shaving rice, forgot to chew in surprise.

It is no wonder that they reacted like this, the first tractor manufacturing plant, as the eldest son of the Chinese machinery industry, a state-owned super-large enterprise, from the day the factory was established, mainly oriented to the needs of national construction, mainly producing all kinds of large and medium-sized tractors and their supporting equipment. Whether it is the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir or the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, from the Hainan rubber plantation to the Northeast grain base, a large infrastructure project and agricultural production related to the lifeline of the country have all appeared in the figure. This is the pride of Yituo, and it is also the pride of every Yituo person. Now I suddenly heard Yang Zhi say that he wants to change to the production of small tractors, and anyone who cares about and loves Yituo may find it difficult to accept it for a while, because these small machinery are generally produced by small machinery factories in places where the technical force is weak and the production capacity is low.

Seeing the reaction of the three people, Yang Zhi was also taken aback, and only then did he feel the power of inertia, and it was very difficult for people to change the mindset formed over the years. For young people, isn't it even more difficult for those factory leaders who are older, more conservative, and more concerned about the glorious history of the tractor factory? Yang Zhi suddenly found that he was overestimating the shape too objectively, which also explained why Tang Yang had such a strange look after reading the plan in the morning. I don't know what kind of waves the plan will set off if it is handed over to the factory leaders? Yang Zhi was suddenly full of worries about the road ahead.

Yang Zhi's prediction was indeed correct! On the one hand, he admired Yang Zhi's many refreshing ideas and very detailed and accurate sketches of small tractor designs, and on the other hand, he felt that Yang Zhi's proposal to shift the focus to small machinery was too bold or even deviant. After smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, Zhu Chunming thought about it again and again, but still did not change a word about Yang Zhi's plan, and was ready to submit it directly to the joint meeting of the party and government of the factory to be held at 4 o'clock in the afternoon for discussion.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the joint meeting of the party and government of Huaxia No. 1 Tractor Manufacturing Factory was officially held in the small conference room on the fifth floor of the office building. The party-government joint meeting is different from the party committee and the administrative office meeting, and is not a system prescribed by the party's rules or state laws, but it is not like the previous party committee that replaced the administrative meeting with the party committee under the slogan of the party's leadership, nor is it like a separate administrative meeting that cannot make the final decision, it can strengthen the party's leadership, coordinate the party-government ties, ensure collective decision-making, and promote the democratization of work, so it can be popularized in many party and government organs, enterprises and institutions, and even local governments after the reform and opening up.

In addition to Zheng Keming, a member of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of the organ who was recuperating at home due to illness, all the leaders of the factory at home participated: Secretary of the Party Committee, Chen Deshan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Director Chang Xinlai (department level), member of the Party Committee, Liu Yajun, deputy director of production, Xiao Qiang, member of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Chairman of the Trade Union, Zhu Chunming, member of the Party Committee, Chief Engineer and Director of the Planning and Technology Department, Lei Guocai, member of the Party Committee and deputy director of logistics, and Gong Xiaojun, member of the Party Committee, assistant to the factory director and manager of the supply and marketing company. Yuan Liwei, director of the factory office, attended the meeting as an observer and was responsible for the meeting minutes.
