Chapter 3251 The Trap Set Up
The performance on stage continued, with one act after another taking the stage and beginning their performance.
As for the awards presented intermittently, they were mentioned by the host.
Of course, only the awards have been announced so far; the list of winners has not yet been released.
As the program progressed, half the time had quickly passed.
Li Rong, who was standing next to Yang Xiaotao, looked at the performance on stage and turned to ask, "This performance will last four or five hours, right?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, the original program was more extensive, but in order to free up time, it was shortened to four hours."
"However, if anything happens in the middle, it may take more than four hours."
Old Chen, who was standing next to him, turned around and said, "Four hours?"
"I feel like there aren't many programs. Is it really that long?"
"Turning the TV on will cost electricity."
As soon as Old Chen finished speaking, Li Rong, who was sitting across from Yang Xiaotao, immediately chimed in, "You're watching TV, and you're still thinking about the electricity bill?"
"If you really care about the people, just lower the electricity prices, and that will solve everything."
"Price reduction? Can you just lower prices like that?"
"Why not? Just generate more electricity."
"You make it sound so easy."
The two started exchanging words across Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao tried to lean back in his chair to give Li Rong and Old Chen space to talk, so as not to get caught in the crossfire.
Then, in the end, the flames of war still reached them.
"Speaking of electricity, when will your nuclear power plant be completed?"
When Old Chen changed the subject, everyone around him turned their attention to Yang Xiaotao.
Even the eldest sister and Ran Qiuye, who were quietly watching the show, turned their heads to look.
Yang Xiaotao felt bitter inside; he knew this was something he couldn't escape.
So he hurriedly said, "We're already surveying the terrain, and we'll start once we've chosen a site."
"Stop trying to bluff your way out of this. You said the same thing last year, and look what happened."
"Last time I called the Second Ministry of Machine Building, they said they were waiting for my news."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless again. Last time he spoke with Qian Lao from the Second Ministry of Machine Building, he did say to wait for news, but he also said that he should start making preparations first.
"Well, let's watch the performance first, we'll talk about this later."
Yang Xiaotao could only laugh it off, while Huang Lao and the others chuckled. Chen Lao could only put the matter aside for now.
Papapa
Applause rang out again, the actors began to leave the stage, and the host came on stage as a guest.
Then another group of people went on stage to perform.
"Mr. Yang, does your program include 'Ten Red Army Soldiers'?"
Suddenly, Old Zhao asked, his face filled with curiosity.
After he said this, everyone who heard it was stunned.
Yang Xiaotao really didn't know, so he turned to look at Chen Gong in the second row and asked, "Old Chen, is there?"
Chen Gong shook his head, "President Yang, the 'Ten Red Army Escorts' performance has already been staged, so it won't be arranged this time."
Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement, after all, the performing arts troupe had performed quite a few times over the years when they went to various places to perform.
It should be based on considerations of the target audience.
Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, Qing Lao suddenly said, "I think it's worth performing, after all, there are still many people who haven't seen it before."
Old Chen nodded and said, "That's right, programs that spread revolutionary significance will never be outdated."
The uncle agreed, saying, "It would be more meaningful to put it after the big prize."
After everyone said that, Yang Xiaotao immediately changed his mind, saying, "Yes, this program is very necessary."
He then nodded to Chen Gong, who immediately understood and quietly got up and left the audience.
Seeing that their suggestions had been adopted, the group turned their attention back to the stage.
Old Zhao, sitting to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days ago, someone approached him and identified themselves.
The first thing that came to mind was the person pinching soybeans.
The person who came asked him to do only one thing: to include the "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off" program in the performance.
He wanted to refuse at the time, after all, it was a joint performance by nine departments, what right did an outsider like him have to offer opinions?
But the visitor's identity made it impossible for him to refuse.
So today, after thinking it over and over again, I finally took the opportunity of Mr. Chen talking to Li Rong to ask him the question.
Now that I've received recognition, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I could feel many people staring at me from behind, and I didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
Of course, if Old Zhao turned around and looked at the people behind him, he would find that their eyes were full of 'gratitude'.
Because they were the lead actors in "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off".
Yang Xiaotao paid no attention to Zhao Lao's little scheme and focused his attention back on the stage.
Yang Xiaotao only rubbed his eyes hard when a group of children came on stage.
He then leaned forward and glanced discreetly at Ran Qiuye not far away.
Why are my two daughters on stage?
How come he didn't know about this?
Ran Qiuye smiled, but dared not look at Yang Xiaotao.
They kept this a secret from Yang Xiaotao, and the rehearsals were all held at their education department.
At this moment, the older sister laughed and said, "This program doesn't belong to your department, it's from our education department for the national audience."
Then he turned to look at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Mr. Yang, you won't blame us for not letting you know, will you?"
"No, no, nothing like that."
Yang Xiaotao quickly spoke up, and then his uncle also smiled and said, "This is also to thank the Ninth Department for their support."
"The establishment of the school aid fund has enabled hundreds of thousands of children to enter the classroom and learn knowledge."
The uncle took a deep breath, but couldn't continue speaking.
Old Qing patted his uncle's arm, "The result is good, we must look forward."
"Yes, yes, we need to look forward."
Old Chen also spoke up, and then Li Rong retorted again, "Look ahead and pay for it. We can't expect all the money to come from the Nine Departments."
Yang Xiaotao knew things were about to go wrong, so he quickly said, "Oh my, these kids are really good-looking."
"Look, those two in the middle are my two daughters. They've become famous after being on TV this time."
Everyone immediately realized that Yang Xiaotao was trying to divert attention after interrupting them. Old Chen also realized this and glared at Li Rong.
As it turned out, Ms. Li Rong was no longer intimidated and glared back. Old Huang, sitting next to her, noticed something was wrong and quickly tugged at her arm, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"You're not here to cause trouble for Old Chen, are you?"
Li Rong didn't mince words and said directly, "It's to cause him trouble."
“We foreign trade people are out there all day long, running around in all kinds of weather. It’s the end of the year, and we want to give out some bonuses, but this guy won’t approve it. Can you believe how can a leader be like this?”
Upon hearing this, Old Huang immediately shut up; he dared not get involved in this matter.
Then they observed three minutes of silence for Yang Xiaotao.
Sure enough, Li Rong said next, "These nine departments get benefits every year, why don't we get them?"
"If all else fails, I'll just lead the foreign trade department to join the Ninth Ministry."
cough cough cough
Yang Xiaotao felt a lump in his throat; he shouldn't have come to this performance rehearsal.
He glanced at Old Chen out of the corner of his eye and, seeing that the other man's expression hadn't changed, he finally felt a little relieved.
Li Rong was interrupted by Yang Xiaotao's cough and realized that she had just said it in anger, so she immediately focused her attention on the show on stage.
One hundred primary school students from Beijing occupied most of the stage, and then music began to play in front of a row of microphones.
"Sending you a little heart"
When the innocent voices came together, and when all the children smiled, the audience felt nothing but deep emotion.
For Yang Xiaotao, there was also a touch of pride.
He wants to get more children into the classroom and pick up books, so that more children can sing songs, read books, and be filled with joy.
Bang bang bang bang
This time, the applause was even louder, and under Qing Lao's lead, everyone stood up.
The children didn't leave; instead, they ran off the stage and gave their little red flowers to everyone present.
This scene once again brought laughter to everyone.
After receiving their little red flowers, everyone took their seats.
Old Chen reached out and touched the little red flower on his chest, smiling like a child. Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "This kind of performance is very good. It increases interactivity and is very down-to-earth."
"Our performances should be easy to understand, so that ordinary people can see and understand them clearly. They should be popular and accessible to the general public."
As Yang Xiaotao began to speak, Old Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Of course, even Yang Youning and his team couldn't understand things like "high mountains and flowing water."
Moreover, these nine authors aren't literary scholars; what they want is to be down-to-earth.
The show continued, and during the performance, Qing Lao and the others offered their opinions. Yang Xiaotao told them to take notes and tell Yang Youning later.
The requirements put forward by the leaders must be improved.
At noon, the performance ended. We originally wanted to invite Professor Qing to say a few words, but he declined, saying that he would come on stage to present the awards after the official performance.
With this, the entire rehearsal for the performance came to an end.
Afterwards, under the arrangement of the staff, everyone began to leave, while Yang Xiaotao accompanied the leaders to the prepared canteen for a meal.
In the conference room, after the meal, Liu Lixue served cups of tea and then stood aside.
The others weren't surprised. Qing Lao even sipped his tea and smiled at Liu Lixue, saying, "I heard some news from Lao Liu the other day, and I almost thought we were going to get wedding candy."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Lixue's ears turned red upon hearing this, but she didn't know what to say.
Then he could only glare at Yang Xiaotao.
After everyone finished laughing, Old Chen took a breath and said, "This is a profound lesson."
"We still need to be more vigilant."
The group nodded in silence, then Old Chen looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "I heard you've set up another trap this time?"
Seeing that his uncle and aunt were looking over, Yang Xiaotao didn't hide anything and explained, "After our investigation, we found that their main target is our computer."
"So we turned the tables and leaked the news about the printer, but selectively concealed the research on the new computer."
"At the same time, spread rumors that the current computers are sufficient for use, and that the research on new computers will take three to five years to complete, creating the illusion of being complacent and stagnant."
"Of course, whether anyone will get involved is another matter."
After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the situation, the people in the meeting room either drank tea or smoked.
This layout doesn't seem particularly clever; it's very simple and easy for someone to see through.
However, judging from Yang Xiaotao's appearance, he probably has other hidden methods.
Old Huang then spoke up on behalf of everyone, asking, "Things can't be that simple, can they? Tell us quickly if you have any backup plans."
Yang Xiaotao nodded to Old Huang after hearing this, and then said confidently, "We have a backup plan, but it's still in the preparation stage."
"tell me the story."
Elder Qing asked.
Yang Xiaotao then said, "Firstly, the new computer's processor is a qualitative leap compared to the Dawn One, and the memory will also be greatly increased, with a computing speed of two million operations per second, which will be able to adapt to more research and work."
"Our research institute will dedicate all its efforts to research after the New Year and strive to launch the new computer before National Day."
The group nodded silently, having already known that Department Nine had a new computer research program.
Now it seems that this has been confirmed.
After listening, Li Rong and Old Chen exchanged a glance and both realized the benefits that the new computer would bring.
If operated properly, it will earn even more than Dawn One.
"The second is finished products and software developed based on the new computer."
"A new printer is one, a new computer game is another, and there's also communication software under development."
"We've already made progress with the printer; the remaining two are under intensive research."
Yang Xiaotao continued, "With these support measures, there's no need to worry about the market."
"Of course, the last point is that the new computer's operating system will have multiple language packs installed, so other countries don't necessarily have to use the Chinese operating system."
"We are also prepared for this."
"When the new computers hit the market, they will definitely have a huge impact on the existing computers, thanks to various measures."
After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining his arrangements, everyone nodded silently in agreement.
This can be considered a series of interconnected steps.
If everything Yang Xiaotao suggested can be done, this arrangement can actually be put together.
That'll be a lot of fun then.
Standing to the side, Liu Lixue was hearing Yang Xiaotao explain it in its entirety for the first time. She knew what the research institute was researching before, but no one had ever reminded her what the research was for.
Now, she finally knows.
Then, glancing at Yang Xiaotao, he was certain once again that the other party was full of bad intentions, while also wondering which fools would get involved.
