Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 242 It’s time to hire a nanny and hold a factory meeting (Subscription Request)
After the Chinese New Year, we will enter the year 1975.

Zhou Fengnian felt that time was running out, especially when next year came, but he couldn't change anything because his medical skills were improving too slowly.

He usually spends a lot of time developing supercomputers and other aspects. Now his medical skills are probably similar to those of department heads in large hospitals.

Naturally, it would be difficult for Zhou Fengnian to accomplish what they all could not do; if he were given a few more years and Zhou Fengnian raised his medical skills to a very high level, there might be some hope.

Now Zhou Fengnian can only try his best to raise the upper limits of certain domestic industries to make the country stronger.

After meeting his material needs, Zhou Fengnian now wants to do something else.

He has enough food and clothing, a beautiful wife with a good figure, and children. In addition to trying his best to speed up the development of the country, Zhou Fengnian is also trying to see the limits of the proficiency simulation system.

He has upgraded all his skills to level ten, and he wants to try whether he can improve them further, from computers to artificial intelligence, and finally create a robot with independent intelligence.

This era is unlikely, so Zhou Fengnian places his hopes on the new era.

After entering the 21st century, we can then try to develop and create artificial intelligent life forms.

There are so many things Zhou Fengnian wants to develop and manufacture. If he can upgrade any ability to level ten, he will become the leader in that industry.

There are so many things that can be developed and manufactured. In addition to artificial intelligent life, Zhou Fengnian also wants to try to develop various drugs to treat various terminal illnesses.

Unfortunately, we have to take it step by step and get the second generation of computers done first.

Fortunately, he has trained a group of talents in computers and programming in recent years, otherwise it would take him another year to develop the new software program alone.

The Zhou family was very happy during this New Year. There was also good news for Zhou Fengnian: Zhou Yan was pregnant again.

Zhou Fengnian had originally planned to have only one son and one daughter in the future, but he didn't expect to have a third child when he was in his thirties.

When Zhou's father and mother heard the news, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They just wanted to see the next generation of the Zhou family prosper.

Everything is good now. The third generation of the Zhou family has seven people, and it is finally prosperous.

With Zhou Fengnian's salary, it is no problem for him to support twenty people, let alone a few more children.

However, Zhou's father is old, and Zhou Fengnian can't let Zhou's mother leave his father behind and move to the city just to take care of Zhou Yan.

Zhou's father also refused. He had just received the fertilizer plant construction plan, as well as the necessary equipment information and fertilizer-making technology from Zhou Fengnian, and was preparing to return to the village to show his skills.

If Zhou's father were asked to give up his village affairs and live in the city to retire, he would be miserable.

If Zhou Fengnian got off work at a regular time like before, he could go home to take care of Zhou Yan, but now he is sometimes busy when he gets home.

On the second day after the Chinese New Year, Zhou Fengnian suddenly asked when he got up: "Wife, I will apply for a nanny for our family. No, it should be a life assistant. Then you don't have to cook and work."

"Why did you suddenly think of this? Don't you dislike outsiders coming to your house?"

After Zhou Yan asked, she suddenly remembered her belly and said with a smile: "It's not like I can't take care of myself now. I've given birth to two children, so don't worry."

She knew that Zhou Fengnian didn't like outsiders coming to his house. It was okay if they came to visit, she would just entertain them and send them away; but if they stayed for a long time, her husband would feel very uncomfortable.

"It was the past, and I didn't think it was a big deal when I was young. It's different now. I applied for it as soon as I started working after the New Year."

Zhou Fengnian made up his mind and said, "It's decided. I have the qualifications, and the higher-ups might be happy to see it. Don't worry."

Only by solving their worries can we devote more fully to R&D.

------

After the new year, the above factory merger notice was officially issued.

Many people in the electronic computer factory were very excited after hearing the news.

The merger and reorganization into a large factory is much better than the current small factory, especially the original cadres of the computer factory, who are calculating how many levels they can be promoted.

After talking with Gu Wenjie, Zhou Fengnian also held a meeting in the factory and called all the middle and senior level managers.

Zhou Fengnian was late for the meeting, and when he arrived at the meeting room, other factory cadres had already arrived.

"Now that you're here, I won't waste any more time. You should have heard about the reason why I called you here, which is the merger of the computer factory and other electronics factories.

After the merger and reorganization, the new computer factory will be a large factory integrating R&D, manufacturing, production and sales, with an estimated number of 5,875 people. "

After Zhou Fengnian sat down, he told the news. After hearing it, everyone else showed some excitement on their faces.

"Next, let me talk about what you are most concerned about, the job adjustments after the factory merger. You have performed well in the past few years, and I have seen it. Now I will talk about the arrangements for you.

Chai Weihua, former deputy director of the Electronic Computer Factory, was transferred to the position of deputy director of the Shenzhou Computer Factory.
Liang Yongsheng, former deputy director of the Electronic Computer Factory, was transferred to the position of deputy director of the Shenzhou Computer Factory.

Pan Heng

Everyone who heard their name showed joy on their face. They were all considered to have improved their registration treatment, which meant they were promoted. As Zhou Fengnian finished reading everyone's name, everyone in the room was promoted, and everyone who came to the meeting had a smile on their face.

"Laugh if you want to. Look how uncomfortable you are holding it in."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said: "In the past three years, each of you has made contributions. The technicians and workers have been working hard in the front, and you have been providing ammunition in the back. This is what you deserve.

But when we get to the new factory, if anyone slacks off or ends up getting punished like those in other factories, don’t blame me for taking back the rewards.”

There are also many rewards for technical personnel and front-line workers. Everyone in the entire technical department has had their treatment increased by at least one level, and some have had their treatment increased by two or even three levels.

Deputy Director Chai quickly said, "No, no, Director, don't worry."

Deputy Director Liang also expressed his opinion: "Director, just look at our performance. We will definitely do our best for the development of the factory."

"Okay, I won't say anything else. I'll just say that I'll see how you perform in the future. That's all for today."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then called Chai Weihua, Liang Yongsheng, and his assistant Pan Heng.

All in all, Pan Heng's promotion speed is one level per year, and even Zhou Fengnian's wife is not promoted as fast as him.

Now Pan Heng is actually no longer his assistant. After arriving at the new factory, he has become a standard-level office director.

Following Zhou Fengnian for the past few years, his promotion speed was one of the fastest; however, Pan Heng now also planned to serve as Zhou Fengnian's assistant, and he was not confident in handing this matter over to others.

If he let someone else come, he was afraid that Zhou Fengnian would not even have enough to eat.

"Deputy Director Chai, Deputy Director Liang, and Pan Heng, the three of you should visit the Fourth Machinery Department more often and get to know your colleagues in the new factory better."

After Zhou Fengnian handed them the list of leaders of Shenzhou Computer Factory, he continued
"The new factory will probably be completed in mid-April. When that time comes, you can discuss the relocation with the secretary and the other deputy factory director."

Deputy Director Chai asked in surprise, "Director, Secretary Yan is no longer the secretary of the new factory?"

"After arriving at the new factory, he was in charge of the technical department. Old Yan is already over 60 years old."

Zhou Fengnian said to the three people, "I also have to take care of research and development, so I'll leave these things to you. Don't make any trouble."

"Director, don't worry."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Pan Heng didn't say anything, but his expression was much more resolute than the other two.

"There will definitely be resistance in other factories, but it's unlikely to be among the frontline workers. We'll have to be tough at this time."

After hearing this, the two deputy factory managers immediately said, "I know, Factory Manager."

After throwing away all the chores in his hands, Zhou Fengnian devoted his energy wholeheartedly to the second-generation personal computer.

The finished prototype was successfully manufactured, and the performance and operating system have been greatly improved, but the software programs still need to be enriched.

In this regard, they were twenty years ahead of foreign personal computers, thanks to Zhou Fengnian's insights from later generations.

Research and development abroad is always full of bumps and bruises, and requires constant testing and customer feedback to get on the right development path.

But Zhou Fengnian directly pulled a group of people to sprint towards the right path. Compared with that of foreign countries, their development speed is like a tortoise and the hare race, and the hare will not rest.

Zhou Fengnian finalized five software programs, one for office use, two for drawing design, a simple email chat function, and the last one is a card game.

Except for the last one which was a bit controversial, the people in the second technical department group had no objections to the first four software programs.

However, Zhou Fengnian still forced the decision. There were not many computers that could be absorbed in the country. Before Zhou Fengnian promoted the merger of the factories, he planned to export computers.

Mini games are like green leaves embellishing flowers to the entire computer. They can be less in number, but they cannot be absent.

Apart from the program functions of personal computers, the remaining problem to be solved is computer interconnection.

In addition to switches, some other connection technologies are needed, and Zhou Fengnian also needs to improve fiber optic communication technology.

After the supporting technologies for the second-generation personal computers are perfected, they will be gradually rolled out to domestic government departments and universities this year, and then accumulated in production.

After the domestic and foreign markets are opened up, Zhou Fengnian will let them see what a true dimensionality reduction attack is.

In the face of their second-generation computers, Amei and Xiao Rizi's computer industry will suffer a devastating blow.

Under the leadership of Zhou Fengnian, the people in the technical department quickly devoted themselves to their work.

The development of the software program went very smoothly. With Zhou Fengnian's guidance, any difficulties encountered were resolved quickly.

Other aspects were also progressing in an orderly manner. After the second-generation computer was successfully manufactured, Zhou Fengnian had to report the good news to his superiors.
