Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 142 Exchange, Unreliable Marriage Proposal (Subscription Request)
"Director Cheng, it's useless to say that. Now they have suggestions from the leaders of the ministry, so we have to think of a way to deal with it."

Hong Bowen stopped Director Cheng from complaining, and then asked Gao Zhiyuan: "Director, what does the ministry mean? Do you want us to give all the data and technology to the First Machine Tool Factory?

This is something that Deputy Director Zhou worked hard on. I can’t accept just giving it away like this.”

Seeing that the output value of Huaxia Machine Tool Factory is getting higher and higher, how come this kind of thing happened again!
Other workshop directors also spoke up, all of them talking about manufacturing those optimized and improved machine tools.

They rely on these to meet production tasks every month, not to mention that more than half of the factory's output value is contributed by this type of machine tools.

Gao Zhiyuan knocked on the table twice to stop the quarrel among the others in the meeting room, and then said, "Deputy Director Zhou, do you have any suggestions?"

"My suggestion is that we can hand over the optimized and improved machine tool data to the First Machine Tool Factory, and then we can slowly stop the production line of these machine tools and switch to the production of CNC machine tools."

As soon as Zhou Fengnian opened his mouth, the workshop director who had just denounced the First Machine Tool Factory looked at him in shock.

But before these people could speak, Zhou Fengnian continued.

“You all know the production efficiency, control difficulty, technical value, etc. of CNC machine tools and other machine tools. They can be regarded as world-class machine tools.

The production of one CNC machine tool is equivalent to that of two ordinary machine tools; and if we want to become the world's number one machine tool manufacturer, these "old" machine tools must be gradually replaced. "

"It doesn't matter if other machine tool manufacturers produce this type of machine tool. We only need to focus on high-end machine tools. There are substitutes for that type of machine tool, but there are few substitutes for CNC machine tools."

"But we can't just give it away for free. We need to get the benefits we deserve. Maybe the leaders also want us to start with a light load and speed up the transformation to become a high-tech machine tool factory after getting the benefits."

After listening to Zhou Fengnian's words, the workshop director who was very angry just now began to think about it slowly, and even the deputy factory director Hong Bowen felt that it made a lot of sense.

Gao Zhiyuan then asked, "Does anyone else have different opinions?"

No one in the meeting room spoke, so Gao Zhiyuan continued, "If not, we will follow Deputy Director Zhou's suggestion. But Deputy Director Zhou, what do you think we should change?"

"Well, Director, you guys make the decision."

Zhou Fengnian thought about it. He needed talent and equipment now, but the First Machine Tool Factory obviously could not provide these two things, so he didn't know what to replace.

If he asked for too much, the First Machine Tool Factory would not give him anything, so he went straight to his leader and complained. If he asked for too little, his own family members would not be happy either.

So let other factory leaders worry about this degree.

The subsequent meetings focused on these things. There wasn't much that could be asked for, just people and things.

However, personnel transfers are unlikely, and the First Machine Tool Plant is unlikely to let senior workers go.

They could only ask for things, rough steel billets and so on. Anyway, whatever the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory lacked and the ministries and commissions had not supplied, they all asked the First Machine Tool Factory for.

If not, then slowly negotiate the price.

What happened afterwards had nothing to do with Zhou Fengnian.

However, the factory has started construction, and an integrated circuit CNC workshop is to be established. Although people and equipment are not yet available, a place must be found first.

Zhou Fengnian went to check it out several times, and after confirming that there were no problems with the construction in the workshop, he stopped interfering.

He also developed a vertical five-axis machine tool, and the manufacturing was directly handed over to Liu Hanfei, and the contact with Yanhe was also handed over to him.

We can't ask him, the deputy factory director, to be involved in everything, as that would be too cheap. Besides, the first five-axis machine tool has been manufactured and things are on the right track.

Zhou Fengnian won’t be so busy from now on.

To be honest, he has already accomplished his mission this year, which is to successfully manufacture a five-axis heavy-duty machine tool.

Next, we just need to focus on production and ensure that enough five-axis heavy-duty machine tools can be manufactured by the end of the year.

In the factory, apart from providing technical guidance in the technical department, I am also developing seven-axis five-axis machine tools in my own office, but I am not as rushed as before.

The complete technology is already in Zhou Fengnian's brain, and it is enough to take out a little bit every day.

Zhou Fengnian himself couldn't bear it if he kept being tense one after another without any relaxation.

People from the First Machine Tool Factory came to the factory for research. After some discussions and exchanges, they gritted their teeth and exchanged the machine tool technology that Zhou Fengnian had optimized and improved.

Gao Zhiyuan was previously the deputy factory director in charge of logistics, and had done a lot of private adjustments of materials. This move just put the First Machine Tool Factory in a difficult position, where it was painful but had no choice but to make the change.

Later, the people from the First Machine Tool Company asked to meet Zhou Fengnian, but Gao Zhiyuan sternly refused, saying that their Deputy Director Zhou was developing something and had no time to meet outsiders.

If a ministry or commission poached people, their factory would protest and fight, not to mention the First Machine Tool Factory; as soon as they opened their mouths, Gao Zhiyuan smelled the scent of "poaching".

------

Sunday.

The sky is clear and the weather today is exceptionally good.

Zhou Fengnian was also at home, lying on a rocking chair under the elm tree, reading a book called Three Heroes and Five Gallants.

He has recently started to get back to his life and he needs to relax when it's time to do so.

creak!

The door of the study was suddenly opened. Zhou Fengnian looked up and saw Zhou Yan walking in. He said unhappily, "It's such a nice day, why are you hiding in the study? Come out and get some sun."

"It's too hot outside. It's so cool in the study."

"My son is basking in the sun in the yard. Please look after him while I clean up the house."

Zhou Fengnian was driven out of the study by Zhou Yan. At this time, his son was being held by Zhou Chunhua in the yard.

As soon as she saw Zhou Fengnian coming out, Zhou Chunhua quickly said, "Brother, hold me for a while. I have to go out."

"Where?"

"I am busy"

"Are you going to find Song Weinan?"

After Zhou Fengnian took the child, he saw Zhou Chunhua's embarrassed expression and knew that he was right.

"Go ahead. If you need a bike, take mine. I'm not going out today."

"Thank you, third brother."

After hearing this, Zhou Chunhua immediately smiled and thanked her. Since Zhou Yan started working, she returned the bicycle to Zhou Yan and usually went to work with her eldest brother, second brother and eldest sister-in-law.

They also discussed buying a bicycle, but they would have to wait until after they got married.

Song Weinan has a relationship with Zhou Fengnian in the factory, and has now learned to repair cars for three months. After a few more months of study, he can try to learn driving by following a car.

Ordinary apprentices are not allowed to follow the truck, but those with connections are an exception. If the delivery is to the old city, Yao Bofeng can also let Song Weinan follow the truck in the name of helping with the transportation.

It takes an ordinary driver two to three years to become a regular apprentice, or even longer, but Song Weinan had someone to take care of him, so he was able to become a regular apprentice in just over a year and became a deputy level five driver.

After Zhou Chunhua got on her bicycle, she smiled and said to Zhou Fengnian, "Third brother, I'll ask Weinan to buy you some wine when we get back."

"I don't drink, buy me a soda!" Zhou Fengnian didn't hesitate and asked for the soda directly. After hearing Zhou Chunhua's answer, he slowly turned around.

However, he would get tired after holding the child for a while. If his son was not too young, less than seven or eight months old, he would have made a walker for the child himself.

There is a large open space in the backyard, so with a walker, the baby won’t fall no matter how hard he tries, which saves a lot of trouble.

After holding the child for a while, Zhou Fengnian planned to put the child on the bed, but when he returned to the room, he saw Zhou Yan wiping the table and windowsill.

"Do we need to wipe this area? It's quite clean."

"Just wipe it, what's the matter? Take the child out first, and come in after I finish cleaning."

"It's okay, just take a look, then you go ahead and get busy."

Zhou Fengnian was planning to go out with his son again. His wife became busy and diligent after giving birth to the child, and even too diligently.

"Wait, take that piece of clothing on the table to Sister Yujie. Last time, she asked me to make it for Xiao Qing'an."

Zhou Fengnian took a look and asked in surprise, "Wife, did you make this? Your sewing skills have improved so quickly. You were so confused when you made clothes for your son."

Zhou Yan put down the rag with shame on her face, and immediately came over to pinch Zhou Fengnian a few times, and said unhappily: "I can't do it, this is done by my second sister-in-law, you can just pass it to Sister Yujie.

She takes good care of me in the factory. If nothing unexpected happens after the New Year, I will have the opportunity to be transferred to the Women's Federation as a clerk, and then gradually be promoted to deputy director."

Recently, Zhou Yan has also made some achievements in the Women's Federation and helped factory workers solve many problems. Although these were all instructed by Bai Yujie, other people didn't know about it.

After achieving results, you can be transferred to the Women's Federation, and the director of the Women's Federation also has a cadre level, ranging from level 16 to level 18.

If Zhou Yan is transferred to the Women's Federation, she can be promoted to a fifth-level clerk and enjoy twenty-three-level treatment, which is equivalent to the treatment of a college graduate who starts working.

Without someone's support and help, she wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly.

"Okay, I'll be back after delivering the things, but we are helping each other, that's all you need to know."

Zhou Fengnian reminded that it was hard to say who helped more between him and the Bai family, but judging from the results, the Bai family gained more.

After the Canton Fair ends this year, Bai Kang will be able to become the factory director of a large factory directly under the Ministry of Light Industry; if he is not promoted this year, he will be promoted next year, and the factory director position will definitely be his.

"Got it, go ahead, I'm just helping."

Zhou Yan urged, then went back to work.

Bai Yujie lived nearby, and Zhou Fengnian walked through two alleys and arrived at the compound of No. 95.

There are more people living here, about twenty households. Zhou Fengnian doesn't know how Bai Yujie endured it. This time she quarreled with her family for so long and didn't go back.

After Zhou Fengnian walked in, he arrived at the front yard and before he could knock on the door, an old lady came out and greeted him, "Hey, young man, you are not from this compound, are you?"

"I'm just visiting. I live in Compound No. 90 and I have some acquaintances here."

Zhou Fengnian explained, then went to Bai Yujie's door and knocked twice. The aunt who had just spoken saw this and widened her eyes slightly.

"Is this young man looking for that beautiful female cadre? But he is holding a child."

"Who?"

Bai Yujie opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Fengnian. She immediately smiled and said, "Fengnian, it's you. Where's Zhou Yan?"

"She's busy at home, so let me bring some clothes to your daughter."

Zhou Fengnian held out his free hand and gestured, saying that in addition to the clothes, there was also a box of snacks in his hand as a gift.

After seeing this, Bai Yujie stepped aside and said, "Come in, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"That's not a big deal, it's just a matter of delivering some clothes."

"It's no trouble, just a cup of tea."

After Bai Yujie finished speaking, she opened the door and walked inside. Seeing this, Zhou Fengnian had no choice but to go in, but did not close the door.

When Zhou Fengnian came in, he saw Bai Yujie's daughter approaching slowly and greeted him in a soft voice, "Hello, uncle."

"Oh, you're quite sensible. Have some cakes."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile, handing the snack box in his hand to Bai Qingan; when the latter heard that it was pastries, he immediately perked up and took it with his chubby hands, then turned around and took it to the other side to eat.

"This child only knows how to eat to show his yang, he's quite cute, let me hold him and see."

Bai Yujie brought a cup of tea and placed it on the table, then she took the child and started to coax him with a smile.

Zhou Xianyang, who had been listless in Zhou Fengnian's arms just now, suddenly laughed happily after being hugged, and his hands were moving around non-stop.

Zhou Fengnian sighed when he saw this and said, "This child just doesn't like to be held by me."

"Comrade Bai!"

Before Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of someone calling for help outside. Then a plump middle-aged woman came to the door and said to the people in the room.

"I'm the matchmaker in Nanluoguxiang. I'm here to introduce you to someone on someone's behalf. Eh? Comrade Bai, who is this person?"

When Zhou Fengnian heard that it was a matchmaker, he said, "I'm from the next door compound, and I'm also a colleague of Comrade Yujie. I'm here to visit today."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

'Why is there another baby?'

The matchmaker was stunned again when she saw the baby in Bai Yujie's arms. This was inconsistent with the information she had heard. Bai Yujie only had one daughter.

However, the matchmaker continued with a smile: "Comrade Bai, I want to ask you if you have any plans in this regard. If so, I will introduce you to the man's conditions."

"No, I don't have any plans for now."

"Comrade Bai, why don't you listen to me first? The man this time is..."

"I don't have any such idea, Comrade Qian. I don't have time today. It's a waste of time for you to come here. You don't need to introduce me to someone else in the future. That's it."

Bai Yujie used an official tone, which stunned Matchmaker Qian for a moment. Then she smiled awkwardly and said
"Okay, since Comrade Bai has no idea, then let it be."

Zhou Fengnian on the side was happily drinking tea. I don’t know which brainless person he was, but he was probably attracted by her beauty.

Without even finding out much about Bai Yujie's background, he asked the matchmaker to come and propose marriage.

The marriage of a registered deputy factory director must be witnessed by an organization, and even if he gets married, the other party's family background will not be bad.

Looking for a matchmaker. Such an unreliable person is probably a resident of the nearby alley who cannot leave Nanluoguxiang.

After everyone left, Zhou Fengnian said, "Don't worry, Comrade Yujie. It's a little inconvenient to live in this environment. It's much better to have a single household."
