Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 185 Transfer Notice and Arrangements (Subscription Request)
After lunch, the expedition team was briefly split into two.

The cadres of the machine tool factory happily showed their leaders the results of their and the workers' hard work. All the workshops were producing CNC machine tools.

Moreover, more than half of the workshops have achieved CNC control, and there is even a fully automatic production workshop, which already has the prototype of modern industry.

On the other side, they continued to discuss computers. Director Yan also asked Zhou Fengnian about the application of microcomputers in missiles or hydrogen bombs.

What he did was a bit of a violation of the confidentiality principle. Zhou Fengnian has not joined the working group yet, but he said some relevant information about the confidentiality working group.

Although it was a private inquiry, Zhou Fengnian didn't know what the question was.

In the end, we still had some discussion and Zhou Fengnian gave some pointers from a technical perspective, but not much.

Any more will involve other areas!

But Director Yan was itching to learn more, so Zhou Fengnian kept changing the subject, telling him about other aspects of computers and asking about the development of computers abroad.

At this time, one can study on one's own and get inspiration from foreign journals on the other hand. After listening to this, Zhou Fengnian was a little tempted and asked if the foreign journal could give him a share.

Director Yan neither agreed nor refused, he just said he would go back and ask. Then the topic changed to transferring Zhou Fengnian to their place.

As they were chatting, they saw their leader coming back with a smile on his face. It seemed that the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory was developing well, which made him very satisfied.

This year, the machine tool factory has treated its workers so well that other factories cannot even begin to catch up.

The logistics supply is fully utilized, meat is provided from time to time, and there are also washing machine rewards. However, only the front-line production workers can participate in the awards.

Even if the workers cannot use the washing machines after receiving them, the machine tool factory will issue a reward certificate and tacitly allow the workers who received them to transfer them.

Under such encouragement, how could the workers of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory not burst out with 100% enthusiasm?

Every month, you can see two workers with outstanding performance wearing big red flowers and pulling carts to take washing machines away from the factory.

In order to quell such fiery emotions, even the cadres of the machine tool factory forced many people not to work overtime.

"You are doing a good job. The workers are satisfied and the factory's output is good. This shows that your management is correct, but don't let the front-line workers work too hard."

The leader walked over as he spoke. When he got closer, he saw Zhou Fengnian and the others and said with a smile, "It seems like you guys have almost finished your discussion. Let's go to the conference room and sit for a while."

After hearing this, everyone knew that it was time to talk about some serious business next, so Gao Zhiyuan took the leaders and others to the conference room of the machine tool factory.

After arriving, there is not much to say. The first thing is to affirm the development of China Machine Tool Factory.

Flexible changes in some places have benefited both front-line workers and factories, which is a win-win situation.

This year's output value growth is already very outstanding, which surprised the leader. Even if next year's growth is only half of this year's, he will still be very satisfied.

The leaders have also investigated many production sites and know that the output value of a factory cannot increase year by year without any changes.

After talking about the factory, the cadres of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory were asked to leave by Deputy Leader Li, except Zhou Fengnian.

When there were not many people left, the leader started to talk about business.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is going to set up a new electronics research institute. The research and development equipment will be related to several important projects such as national defense, and there is a severe shortage of key talents.

When Zhou Fengnian heard this, he knew he couldn't refuse. Deputy Leader Li was also somewhat unwilling, but development also has priorities, and Minister Zhang couldn't stop him.

Thinking of this, Deputy Leader Li suddenly realized: "No wonder Lao Zhang simply stopped coming after hearing this. Let him come and try his best. This is to push him out!"

The final result was that after Zhou Fengnian passed the academic committee, he was transferred to the deputy leader of the microcomputer project team, but he retained the position of deputy director of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

The development of CNC machine tools has temporarily reached a bottleneck. If we continue to conduct in-depth research, we will have to solve the CNC problem, which is linked to computers, so a computer project team must be involved.

The latter was also the result of Deputy Leader Li's efforts. After hearing Zhou Fengnian's promise to produce results in two years, Deputy Leader Li tacitly assumed that Zhou Fengnian could accomplish it in one year.

After that, you can go back to the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory. It doesn’t matter whether you are in the machine tool factory or not. What matters is that you are a member of the First Machine Tool Department.

Director Yan made no effort to conceal his happiness at the result; they had gained a great general. Although the research direction that had just been established was overturned, the next research would be easier.

Now that we have medium-scale integrated chips, the microcomputer project is basically 70% to 80% complete, and the rest just needs to be improved according to project requirements.

If special cases are handled specially, Zhou Fengnian's recommendation from the academic committee will be approved this week, and he can report to the project team next week.

As for the dozen or so people in the integrated circuit workshop, they continued to stay in the machine tool factory; fortunately Zhou Fengnian had assigned them tasks.

According to the technology Zhou Fengnian provided, the two workshops cooperated to manufacture a medium-scale integrated computer, and they completed the task!

Zhou Fengnian would also find time to come back from time to time, after all, he was still the deputy director of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

Besides, a workshop that cost millions to build cannot just be left empty and wasted.

This week is also the time for Zhou Fengnian to arrange his work and settle all the matters at the machine tool factory. About Saturday and Sunday, someone will send him the relevant certificates for academician.

After making the decision, the leader, Director Yan and others prepared to leave. After all, they all had a lot of things to do and had almost spent a whole day at the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

But before leaving, the leader took out a book and said to Zhou Fengnian with a smile: "Fengnian, I'm so late in giving you the book I promised you last time. I guess you must have finished reading that book. This one is for you. It's also my favorite one."

"Leader, I will definitely read it carefully."

Zhou Fengnian took the book and said with a smile, then said goodbye to the leaders and their group.

------

"Hey, my boss told me to read books. He knows I have this hobby, so he gave me a book. Oh, yes, there was another one last time, but I finished that one."

Zhou Fengnian held the book and spoke to other factory officials, deliberately showing the gift, signature and seal on the title page.

"Ah"

"laugh"

Seeing Zhou Fengnian's undisguised show-off, factory officials such as Gao Zhiyuan and Ma Sisheng, who had a good relationship with him, couldn't help but sneer.

The others were all envious. One had to value this book very much to have a private seal and signature on it. They hadn't had one in their decades of life, and probably wouldn't have one in the next few decades.

Gao Zhiyuan immediately said, "Deputy Director Zhou, you will get a share of your tea later."

Ma Sisheng continued, "Yes, yes, you should at least treat us to two drinks. Deputy Director Zhou got the tea from the minister."

Kang Hongnian and others also looked over. Zhou Fengnian had no choice but to agree. He called Pan Heng and asked him to get the tea from the drawer.

After the tea was brewed, neither Gao Zhiyuan nor Kang Hongnian dared to ask questions, fearing that they might ask something they shouldn't. However, Zhou Fengnian knew their intentions and took the initiative to say, "Everyone, let's treat this cup of tea as a practice tea.

Next week I will be transferred to the microcomputer project team jointly established by the Computer Research Institute and the Microelectronics Research Institute. Although I will retain my position as deputy director of the machine tool factory, I may come less often in the future. "

"You're leaving!?"

Gao Zhiyuan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Fengnian, the leader transferred you away?"

"Well, there are many key projects involved there, so they need more help. But if the machine tool factory needs me, I will come back to help."

Zhou Fengnian said: "I will arrange the work this week, Director, I have arranged tasks for the integrated circuit workshop and the CNC workshop.

Don't add any new tasks for them for now, let the technical department arrange it."

Gao Zhiyuan knew that Zhou Fengnian's transfer was not something he, a small factory manager, could influence, so he could only sigh in his heart. With Zhou Fengnian leaving, he had no idea whether the output value could continue to increase next year.

Some of the others were also reluctant, as they had all experienced the benefits Zhou Fengnian brought to the machine tool factory.

Technological innovation is rapid, with new machine tools being built one after another, and you can get credit just by sitting in the office.

Moreover, Zhou Fengnian does not strive for any power except in technical aspects. He is a typical intellectual.

Who would want to let go of such a good partner?
But no matter how unwilling you are, you have to obey the orders from above.

While everyone was there, Zhou Fengnian simply assigned the tasks in his hands. The technical department was finally assigned to Deputy Factory Director Hong Bowen, who was originally in charge of production matters as well.

The weekend is in two days, and Zhou Fengnian has to arrange everything during this time.

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Fengnian had only communicated with the technical department and arranged the direction of future technological innovation for them.

Zhou Fengnian did not stay in the factory to work overtime today. After taking a walk around the workshop, he asked the security guard to send him away.

After returning home, I still have to take care of the affairs of Hongjia Village or Sanshui Commune, and I also have to tell my family about the news of the transfer.

The microcomputer project team had a confidentiality code, but the identity of the academician was not kept confidential. When Zhou Fengnian told his family about it, he could only say that he went to work at the research institute.

------

"Dad, Secretary Changshan and Secretary Wu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

When Zhou Fengnian came back, Hong Changshan and Wu Youhai had already arrived.

After putting the things down, Zhou Fengnian went to the kitchen again and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that all the seasonings were purchased.

"Secretary Changshan, Secretary Wu, my father has told you everything."

Zhou Fengnian came to the stone table in the courtyard, sat down and said: "I suggest that you take this opportunity to build a mushroom sauce factory, specializing in the production of canned mushroom hot sauce.

This way, the mushrooms grown in our own commune will have a place to be processed, and they will probably be more popular after being made into mushroom chili sauce.”

"Director Feng Zhou, is that mushroom chili sauce you mentioned really popular?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Wu Youhai's face, but he still opened his mouth to ask; now there are too many villagers in Sanshui Commune growing mushrooms, and he has to be responsible for them.

Moreover, building a factory requires a considerable investment. Purchasing production lines and custom-making glass bottles costs several thousand yuan. Even if the commune and all production teams pool this money, it is still not a small sum.

"Wait a moment, I'll make it now. The mushrooms are almost ready."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to make chili mushroom sauce.

With his skills, he controlled the seasoning very accurately. In a short time, he made a bowl of mushroom chili sauce and steamed a few buns.

After he served it on the table, he said to Zhou's father, Hong Changshan and Wu Youhai: "Dad, Secretary Changshan, Secretary Wu, please try it. This is the spicy mushroom sauce I made."

"San'er, this smells so good, so tempting!"

Since he was his own son, Zhou Fugui didn't beat around the bush. He picked up a steamed bun, broke it open and spread mushroom chili sauce on it.

Then, when you take a bite, you can feel the tenderness of the mushroom and the appetizing spicy taste.

"Mm, it's delicious, Secretary Changshan, Secretary Wu, please try it!"

After saying that, Zhou's father took a few more bites. The spicy mushroom sauce was quite appetizing. He finished a steamed bun in just three or two bites, then picked up another one and started spreading it on it.

Seeing this, Hong Changshan and Wu Youhai couldn't help but pick up a steamed bun and taste it.

After taking a bite, they were unable to describe the taste. They had never been to school and could not think of any other word except delicious.

After eating one, they still wanted to eat more. The taste of the mushroom spicy sauce made them drool and they wished they could eat their fill in one go.

But this was at Zhou Fengnian's home, and they didn't bring any food with them. Eating one steamed bun was polite, and eating two would be a bit embarrassing, so they could only bear it.

"Director Zhou, it's really delicious."

"It's OK. This kind of mushroom hot sauce will definitely be sold out if you take it out for sale. And this is the only one of its kind."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment, then continued, "Secretary Wu, I know that the production teams under the management of Sanshui Commune are difficult to regulate, but I originally prepared this mushroom chili sauce for Hongjia Village.

I have already told Secretary Changshan during the Chinese New Year that if other villages are unwilling to join, then let Hongjia Village build the factory, and Hongjia Village will be the one to harvest the mushrooms in the future."

"Yes, the money from the two sales of mushrooms and the collective vegetable shed in Hongjia Village can open a small factory."

Hong Changshan supported the idea and said, "The villagers will understand that Hongjia Village is what it is today because of Fengnian's idea."

Wu Youhai said quickly, "No, no, Director Zhou, Changshan, I didn't say I don't agree, but please give us some time to discuss this matter."

"That's fine, Secretary Changshan. You should go back and discuss this matter with the villagers. I still have some mushroom chili sauce. You can take some back with you."

Zhou Fengnian said, "I'll help you contact a few more factories for the mushrooms this time, so you don't have to go to the farmers' market if you sell them separately.

If you have made a decision, just come to the city with your dad to find me. You may not be able to find me during the day, I may be at home after work."

After saying that, Zhou Fengnian stood up and packed some chili mushroom sauce for Wu Youhai and Hong Changshan respectively, asking them to take it back and let others taste it to make it more convincing.

He made a lot this time and also packed two kilograms for Zhou's father.

The leftovers can be kept for home consumption, and can be used as a side dish with steamed buns, noodles, or rice.
