Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 180 Gift Giving and Fighting (Subscription Request)
While Zhou Fengnian was asking questions, he was still looking at the jar wrapped in blue cloth in Li Huaide's hand, which he was holding so preciously.

"There is something. I came here to deliver this."

Li Huaide placed the tiger whip wine on the table and carefully removed the blue cloth that wrapped it, revealing the jar of wine inside.

"Mr. Zhou, I told you last time that it's twelve kilograms in total, but it's best to drink it in small cups each time."

Zhou Fengnian leaned over to take a look, and immediately saw a tiger whip as long as a baton, which was slightly longer than his palm.

"Brother Li, I won't be polite then."

After reading it, Zhou Fengnian took the jar with a smile and even changed the name; unfortunately, his wife was pregnant now, so the tiger penis wine had to be kept for a while.

"Hey, it's too formal for us to be polite. If it weren't for your help this time, I wouldn't have been able to become the factory director so quickly."

Although Li Huaide felt a little sorry for the tiger penis wine, this thing was really rare. He asked his friends to inquire for more than a year before he got such a bottle.

But compared with the position of factory director, this one year is nothing.

"The ministry will come to our factory for a meeting next week. At that time, there will be an 80% chance that the positions of factory cadres will be adjusted. Then I can become the factory director."

Li Huaide revealed a little about the movements of the steel mill. He was not worried at all about Zhou Fengnian and Mu Quan. The status of a level six engineer was much higher than that of the director of the steel mill.

"So this time I came to you, Mr. Zhou, to ask for your advice. Mr. Zhou, what do you think I should do after I become the factory director?"

"Hey, what can we do about it? Just focus on improving production. Your factory has the latest steelmaking and rolling technologies. All we need to do is keep producing high-quality steel."

Halfway through his speech, Zhou Fengnian suddenly reacted, looked at Li Huaide's innocent expression and asked with a smile: "Brother Li, are you fooling me?

How could you, a factory manager, not know what to do next? Do you have something else to ask me?"

After all, he is an old revolutionary, and his father-in-law is the deputy leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy. Such a person would never come to ask a young engineer for advice on factory development.

Even a workshop director could see this clearly, so how could Li Huaide not understand it?

"No, Mr. Zhou, I don't know much about production, but what you said is definitely correct."

Li Huaide explained awkwardly that he wondered if he had gone too far just now, which caused Zhou Fengnian to react.

However, Li Huaide then stated the purpose of this trip: "Mr. Zhou, the main reason is that the current rolling mills can produce too few types of high-quality steel. If there were more types..."

"That's all. Okay, I got it."

Zhou Fengnian thought about it and decided that this wasn’t even enough to require re-development and could be done in a few days.

"I'll take some time to look at it these days, and if it's quick, I'll give it to you next month."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou."

Li Huaide said happily in his heart that as long as the steel rolling mill could continuously produce high-quality steel, it would attract more and more attention in the future, and his position as the factory director would be more stable.

His father-in-law had already told him this at home. After he took over the production, he only had to focus on one thing, which was to produce high-quality steel according to the planned tasks.

Submarines, airplanes, aircraft carriers and other key projects all require high-quality steel. As long as the steel mill can produce this continuously, it will be a stable contribution.

"Mr. Zhou, the Ministry of Metallurgy is also planning to give you a technical achievement award to thank you for your contribution. In addition to the award certificate, there are also some bills."

"Okay, I understand. The Ministry of Light Industry also sent me two."

After hearing what Zhou Fengnian said, Li Huaide also saw the award certificates posted on the wall of the study. A rough count showed that there were more than twenty of them.

These were all posted by Zhou Yan. Zhou Fengnian originally felt that it was a bit childish, but Zhou Yan thought that the family should have a wall of honor, so all the awards Zhou Fengnian had received in the past four years were posted there.

"Mr. Zhou is amazing."

After Li Huaide stood up and read it, he couldn't think of any words for a while, so he could only praise it like this.

Only six or seven certificates were issued by factories, and the rest were issued by ministries and agencies, with the Ministry of Machinery issuing the most.

If he had so many awards, why would Old Yang dare to pick a fight with him?

After chatting for a while, Li Huaide said goodbye and left, and politely declined Zhou Fengnian's invitation to stay.

Today's goal has been achieved. If he takes back other types of rolling mills next month, his position as factory director will be secure. If Yang Weimin does not want to be his deputy, he will have to be transferred away as soon as possible.

There was no need to stay for dinner at this time, unless he brought his female relatives with him.

Not long after Li Huaide left, Zhou Yan knocked on the door and came in to remind him, "Fengnian, it's time to eat. What is this? Was it sent by Deputy Director Li just now?"

"This is the wine of happiness. You have to keep it here. Don't let that brat Xianyang come into the study anymore."

Zhou Fengnian reminded that his son was over one year old and was at the age when he would become more active after learning to walk, so he must not be allowed to enter the study.

"Wine of Happiness? Such a strange name."

Zhou Yan leaned over to open it and asked curiously, "What's in it? It smells like medicine."

"Hey, it's a tiger whip."

After hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately thought of the effect of this wine, but her cheeks flushed slightly as she stretched out her hand to pinch Zhou Fengnian and said, "You are not allowed to drink this."

Zhou Fengnian immediately said unhappily: "Why? This is for health."

"It's the same even if I haven't drunk it. If I did drink it, you don't want me to get up!"

Zhou Yan said anxiously that she could not find any complaints about her man in any aspect except that he spent too much time at night and she would feel sleepy the next day.

Then it would be discovered when going to work, and then the workers from the Women's Federation would make fun of them.

Zhou Fengnian muttered to himself after hearing this, but he didn't agree to Zhou Yan's request to not drink it anyway. He then put the jar of wine in the cabinet and locked it.

------

A few days later, Zhou Fengnian received the award certificate and tickets from the Ministry of Metallurgy. At that time, he was still researching chips in the integrated circuit workshop.

In addition to the award certificates, there are also some common tickets, including a watch ticket, but Zhou Fengnian and Zhou Yan both have watches, so this ticket can only be kept for the time being.

Other industrial coupons, cloth coupons, tobacco and alcohol coupons are more common, and Zhou Fengnian estimates that many of them were inserted by private individuals.

Many machine tool factories have learned to take away CNC machine tool technology, and after returning, they can already produce except for the CNC system. However, except for the ones near Sijiucheng, machine tool factories in other places will build their own CNC workshops, which makes Zhou Fengnian sigh, and there will be even fewer talents in the future.

Fortunately, a group of semiconductor professionals were assigned to the machine tool factory. Six people will report for work next month, which is a big surprise for Zhou Fengnian.

Semiconductors have only appeared in China a few years ago, and talent training has only recently begun; if it weren't for the fact that this workshop in the machine tool factory has invested a lot of money, it would be comparable to a complete research institute.

Moreover, the leaders of the ministry have enough trust in him. These six graduates of the semiconductor major will definitely be assigned to the Semiconductor Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Zhou Fengnian was naturally happy to receive the talents. He quickly brought them into the job and completed the formalities. He was also prepared to personally train them for a period of time so that they could get into the R&D work state as soon as possible.

They have learned the basics very well, so Zhou Fengnian does not need to teach from the basics. He can directly lead them to understand the integrated circuit technology and become familiar with the next research and development direction.

What you learn here is completely different from what you learn in university, and Zhou Fengnian has a clear technical direction in his mind, which is equivalent to turning on the street lights for these people on a foggy road, and then whipping them from behind to make them run forward.

Thanks to Zhou Fengnian's sudden change, the small-scale integrated circuit technology has spread among relevant personnel, and they are now concentrating technical personnel and equipment to research medium-scale integrated circuits.

However, Zhou Fengnian's side is obviously faster, and last year when the foreigners had not yet completely blocked the area, they got a batch of professional equipment, which made Zhou Fengnian's progress much faster.

It will be much more difficult to buy special equipment this year. Not only do you have to go around in circles, but it will also cost a lot of money.

It might be like the Russians buying nine-axis machine tools from Japan, spending several times the price to buy them.

Zhou Fengnian has been busy with the integrated circuit workshop recently and has rarely paid attention to the machine tool workshop. As for the Shenzhou automobile manufacturing workshop, he has never been there once.

Zhou Fengnian will only take action unless there are production problems.

Zhou Fengnian rarely even attended the monthly summary report meeting of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

The medium-scale integrated circuit technology has been advanced by more than half, and Zhou Fengnian has also begun to make technical summary reports and the application development of medium-scale integration.

After it is written, it will be submitted. They only have a workshop here and there is no place to build a complete integrated circuit production line unless they get approval from higher-ups to build a factory.

However, the workshop is easy to deal with, but if an electronics factory is established, it will not be under the management of the First Ministry of Machine Building. Zhou Fengnian had mentioned this to Deputy Leader Li once before, but Deputy Leader Li did not give a definite answer and even remained silent without replying.

dong dong!

Zhou Fengnian was concentrating on summarizing the technical summary report of medium-scale integration. When he heard the knock on the door, he said without raising his head: "Come in."

Assistant Pan Heng came in and said hesitantly, "Boss, something happened. Two chefs from the back office got into a fight, and one of them was seriously injured."

"and then?"

"The security department has intervened and one of the people involved is Zhou Weitian from the cafeteria."

"Oh"

Zhou Fengnian responded, and it took him five or six seconds to come back to his senses. He immediately raised his head and asked, "Who? Zhou Weitian!? Pan Heng, what's going on?"

"Leader, I just learned about this matter. I just came back from the security department. However, I heard from the security department that it was because of a verbal dispute. The main reason was that someone was saying bad things about Master Zhou behind his back."

Pan Heng knew that Zhou Weitian from Canteen 1 was the elder brother of Deputy Director Zhou, so he just sat in on the conversation at the Security Department.

In order to allow the security department to enforce the law violently, the relationship between Zhou Weitian and Zhou Fengnian was slightly revealed.

Otherwise, the security department’s violent tactics would be enough to make the people inside suffer.

The reason was simple. Recently, many outsiders came to the factory to study. In order to show hospitality, Deputy Director Ma asked the logistics department to arrange several special classes for them.

This small kitchen was mostly arranged for Zhou Weitian from the first canteen. In more than a month, it was arranged six times, and five of them were for the first canteen.

The advantage of a small kitchen is what every chef wants. Even if he has no chance to take the food out, he can still have a delicious meal in the factory.

If it was mixed in the leftovers, the security department wouldn't check it every day.

However, most of the small kitchens were taken away by canteen one, so the chefs of the other canteens were naturally not convinced. The chefs of canteens three and four knew their own weight and could only express envy at most.

It was He Yuzhu from the second canteen who started a fight because Xiao Zhan had said a few too many gossips and even brought up Zhou Fengnian. Zhou Weitian, who happened to be using the toilet, heard it.

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian quickly asked, "Is my eldest brother not injured?"

Pan Heng thought for a moment and said, "The face was bruised a little, but no serious injuries. The Master He who was beaten by him lost two teeth, and the other Master Li broke his finger."

"I'm going to the security department now. Can you help me get a bottle of safflower oil from the infirmary?"

Zhou Fengnian stood up quickly after he finished speaking, but when he was about to leave the room, he turned back, put away the documents on the table, locked them in the cabinet and said, "Pan Heng, help me lock the door."

"I understand, Leader."

After saying that, Zhou Fengnian walked towards the security department. He was a little surprised to hear that his elder brother beat He Yuzhu and another chef so badly.

I don't remember seeing Zhou Weitian hitting anyone. Anyway, Zhou Fengnian was not bullied when he was a child. It might be because he was the only educated person in the family. If his eldest brother and second brother showed their teeth to him, they would be punished by Zhou's father.

In addition, when the original body was a child, he didn't like to play with the village kids and wanted to be a city dweller. He had no memory of Zhou Weitian fighting at all.

If Zhou Fengnian had known that he was so fierce in fighting, he would have warned him not to fight over trivial matters.

After arriving at the Security Department, Zhou Fengnian was taken to the office of Deputy Section Chief Chang Qing by members of the Security Department. He was on duty in the Security Department today.

When Deputy Section Chief Chang saw Zhou Fengnian, he quickly stood up and said, "Deputy Director Zhou is here, please sit down and I'll pour you a glass of water."

Chang Qing knew that Zhou Fengnian had returned when his assistant came over just now, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

"Deputy Section Chief Chang, you don't have to be so polite. I was involved in the fight at the factory today. I came here to ask about the situation."

Zhou Fengnian spoke.

These factory leaders have no control over the Security Department. They can only make suggestions on the daily operations of the Security Department and have the power to give orders to the Security Department only in emergency situations.

"The matter has been investigated thoroughly. Chef Zhou is now in the detention room and has not suffered any injustice. This is a record of the process."

Chang Qing handed Zhou Fengnian a security department investigation record. It was because Pan Heng arrived early and Zhou Weitian confessed quickly that they did not know that the chef of the canteen was Zhou Fengnian's elder brother.

Zhou Weitian had never been seen bragging about it, but they had heard of Zhou Fengnian's father-in-law, but he was just an honest worker.

Chang Qing handed over a cigarette and said, "Deputy Director Zhou, although the other party was just a mean-spirited person who talked about others behind their backs, Chef Zhou hit him hard. However, if you admit your mistakes, we will consider it as appropriate."
