Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 244 Huge Export Orders (Subscription Request)

At the end of May, Zhou Fengnian felt a little uncomfortable when he walked out of his leader's ward.

With his medical skills, he could naturally see from the leader's face that he was already showing signs of being terminally ill.

Even though he knew this, Zhou Fengnian had no solution. His current medical skills level was only level six, not even level eight, and he was not at the top of the industry.

However, the leader still listened to his report on the Shenzhou Computer Factory.

This is not just a factory. In the eyes of the leaders, it is also the rise of China's future technology.

He has a long-term vision. From the importance of supercomputers, he sees that computers are an important sector of future development.

That is why he strongly supported the merger and establishment of Shenzhou Computer Factory and helped Gu Wenjie avoid many troubles.

Finally, when Zhou Fengnian was about to say goodbye and leave, the leader stood up and walked him out of the house, then patted him on the shoulder.

When Zhou Fengnian was riding the bus back, he was still thinking about his experience here.

Other things like electrical appliances and cars are just small changes, and even if they earn some foreign exchange, they don’t affect many things.

The ones that have the greatest impact are machine tools and supercomputers. The former can improve the overall domestic industrial level, while the latter can help advance cutting-edge projects such as aerospace and military industry.

But it's still too slow. He has such a powerful golden finger, but only a little change has been made in fourteen years.

As for the impact, it cannot be said that there is no impact, but it is far from what Zhou Fengnian thought.

"Leader, we've arrived."

Zhao Qiang spoke up. He saw Zhou Fengnian was thinking about something, and if they hadn't gone downstairs to the factory office, he wouldn't have wanted to interrupt Zhou Fengnian's thoughts.

"Okay, it's fine once we get there. Thank you for your hard work today."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he got out of the car and walked upstairs. He looked at the time on his watch and saw that there were still five minutes before the factory cadre meeting started.

When Zhou Fengnian pushed the door and entered the conference room, everyone else had already arrived; there were dozens of cadres at the section chief level, and the lowest rank was deputy section chief.

Secretary Ge smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I almost sent someone to look for you. I'm glad you're here. Is there anything that delayed you?"

"I suddenly received a notice this morning and met with the leader. Sorry, comrades, I was delayed a little."

After Zhou Fengnian sat down, he first apologized to all the cadres in the room. Although he was not late, he could have started earlier if he had arrived a little earlier.

"Let's get started right away, Secretary Ge?"

After hearing this, Ge Changzheng nodded and said, "Okay, Director Zhou, you go first."

In other factories, the secretary usually spoke first, but the Shenzhou Computer Factory was an exception; if it were outside, Ge Changzheng would have to respectfully call Zhou Fengnian "Commissioner Zhou".

A technician of this level has condescended to become the director of a factory. As the secretary, he only needs to cooperate with Zhou Fengnian's work and that's all.

"Everyone here has frequently cooperated with the Electronic Computer Factory in the past few years. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are acquaintances. I'm not very good at being polite, so let's get straight to the point."

Zhou Fengnian didn't say anything polite. He just held up the development summary he had prepared in advance and started talking.

"The Shenzhou Computer Factory has two production tasks next, the Shenzhou Son II, and this year's planned task is three units.

There are still six months left, Technical Section 1, Workshop 1 and Workshop 2, you guys just do your best, there is definitely enough time, it must be completed by the end of the year."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, Guo Ruihua, the chief of Technical Section 1, and the directors of Workshop 1 and Workshop 2 quickly responded and expressed their attitude, saying that the task would definitely be completed by the end of the year.

There is also Shenzhou Computer. Although there is only half a year left, they plan to produce 5,000 units.

And also need to produce matching switches and optical cable connecting lines and so on.

Although there is no order yet, Zhou Fengnian has just received accurate information from his leader.

Around October, Ame will promote the Coordinating Committee to lift some of the prohibitions on China, computer trade being one of them.

In the same year, the Computer Corporation of China Factory was also able to participate in the Canton Fair in November, where it unveiled Computer Corporation of China to the world.

"Director."

Li Zhixuan, the head of the Second Technical Section, said with some embarrassment: "Five thousand is a bit too much."

"Four production workshops and six electronic component workshops are cooperating in production. How can it be completed?"

“If it can be done, we will definitely do it!”

"Forget it. There's no need for us to work overtime right from the start of our new factory. Just try to finish it. It won't be considered dereliction of duty if you fail to complete it. This task was set by me, not the higher authorities."

Zhou Fengnian relaxed the policy a little. Five thousand machines is indeed a bit of a stretch, and there will definitely be a lot of overtime work.

They are a new factory and all their own funds depend on grants from above, so the factory's finances are not that abundant.

If there is a large amount of overtime work, the overtime pay alone must be reported to the higher authorities.

Zhou Fengnian then continued to arrange production tasks. After he finished speaking, Secretary Ge Changzheng also talked about the work on ideological construction.

However, he knew that at the Shenzhou Computer Factory, production was the top priority at the moment, so he slowed down the ideological construction work a lot, extending it to once every two or three months.

This only happens twice in half a year, which is almost nothing.

Secretary Ge is taking a risk by doing this. He is relaxing ideological construction and giving way to production. If he is investigated, he will be the first to be held responsible, because he is the factory secretary.

But there was no way. The factory director Zhou Fengnian arranged so much production, and each workshop was almost full of tasks. It was good enough that Ge Changzheng could arrange two times.

After the three deputy factory directors and other main leaders finished speaking, it was almost time for lunch.

Zhou Fengnian then announced the adjournment of the meeting, but kept key leaders such as Yan Zhengzhi and Ge Changzheng.

Yan Zhengzhi was nominally a deputy secretary, and apart from that he was in charge of the technical department.

"I went to see my boss this morning and learned something important from him. Around October, Amei will help the Coordinating Committee lift the ban on Shenzhou Computer."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment, and after seeing everyone's expressions, he continued, "That is to say, Shenzhou Computer can theoretically be sold to countries around the world.

As for the performance of Shenzhou computers, you all know that they will be very popular. "

Zhou Fengnian said "welcome" twice in a row, which represents his trust in Shenzhou Computer.

He didn't believe that anyone in Amei could overtake others in more than 20 years, otherwise their crappy stuff would definitely be beaten by Shenzhou Computer.

The performance and program functions are very different, and Zhou Fengnian is planning to set the prices similarly, which would mean that the state banquet dishes would be sold at the price of a roadside stall. Wouldn't foreigners flock to buy Shenzhou computers?

"In November, our factory will also participate in the Canton Fair. This is the first step for our computers to be unveiled. There are still five or six months, and Lao Yan and I will improve the computer's supporting facilities as soon as possible. Deputy Director Xiao, you can lead the team to the Canton Fair by then."

Deputy Director Xiao Hua was delighted when he heard this, and then said calmly, "I understand, Director."

Zhou Fengnian continued, "Comrades, I facilitated the merger of the ten factories in order to better develop domestic computer technology, and at the same time to export it, earn a lot of money from foreigners, and give back to the country and the workers in the factory.

I only care about technology research and development and production tasks. As long as it does not delay production and technology research and development, we are all good comrades. "

Everyone understood what Zhou Fengnian said. In other words, whoever delays production and technological research and development is a bad comrade.

What is the fate of bad comrades? Go to prison, where else?
Zhou Fengnian was a man of courtesy before force, but others still couldn't help but take his words seriously.

If an ordinary factory manager said this, it would be purely to scare people; you are the factory manager, and you still want to make trouble?
But they had to be cautious about what Zhou Fengnian said and take it to heart.

After the meeting, the Shenzhou Computer Factory officially started production.

In the old city, there are not many large factories with more than 5,000 employees, and the Shenzhou Computer Factory is already ranked among the top ten.

It also gathered technicians from ten electronics factories, and the technical department was divided into five parts, which was more than the total number of people in the previous Computer Research Institute and Microelectronics Research Institute.

If no results are achieved, it will not only be a disgrace to Zhou Fengnian, but also the leaders who facilitated the merger of the ten factories will lose face.

Therefore, Zhou Fengnian adopted the strategy of using courtesy before force from the beginning. When the time came for anyone to cause trouble for him, he would deal with them one by one, no matter who it was.

------

Time flies, and five or six months passed in a flash.

Today was a day off. After Zhou Fengnian had breakfast, he said to his assistant, "Xiao Gong, go to the farmer's market and buy some meat and ribs. My dad will come over today and make something delicious for lunch."

After hearing this, Gong Lin wiped his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, leader."

She was a nanny arranged by the organization to work in Zhou Fengnian's home and had been there for almost a year.

She is usually hardworking and cooks delicious meals. Zhou Fengnian's family likes this nanny very much.

Some time ago, Zhou Fengnian's second daughter was born. This could be considered Zhou Fengnian's last child. He and Zhou Yan had discussed that they would not have another child in the future.

The second daughter is Zhou Linlin, who is twelve years younger than the eldest son Zhou Xianyang.

As soon as her maternity leave was over, Zhou Yan went back to work. She felt relieved to leave her daughter to Gong Lin.

Zhou's father came today to talk to him about the fertilizer factory. This is the first factory that Hongjia Village completely owns. People in the entire Hongjia Village regard the fertilizer factory as more important than the mushroom chili sauce factory.

It was completed in April and May, and the fertilizers produced were gradually sold throughout the Changping area.

In five months, 200 tons of fertilizer were produced. The price of one ton of fertilizer was yuan, and a bag of kilograms of fertilizer was about ten yuan.

This output is not a lot, but it is not a small amount for a newly developed rural factory. It is calculated that it can sell 6,000 tons of fertilizer a year, which can earn more than one million yuan.

Moreover, Zhou Fugui and Hong Changshan had agreed with the villagers that they would not distribute dividends for three years, and all the money earned would be used to purchase factory equipment. After three years, half of the profits would be distributed as dividends.

All the villagers in Hongjia Village had no objections. Facts had proved many times that the village party secretary and the production team had never led them astray, and this was also Zhou Fengnian's suggestion.

What's more, the dividends from the greenhouse and the mushroom chili sauce factory are enough to make all the villagers rich every year.

Now Hongjia Village has a telephone, but ten years ago, it was difficult to have a piece of fatty meat during the Chinese New Year in Hongjia Village.

At the current rate of development, in three years, the Hongjia Village Fertilizer Plant will be able to add five production equipment and increase its output four or five times.

By then, the annual profit will be no less than that of some small light industrial factories, and it will be easy to make millions a year.

There are not many fertilizer factories in Sijiu City, and the domestic fertilizer technology has just been introduced from Xiaorizu not long ago. The technology provided by Zhou Fengnian is not bad at all.

There is no competition, the technology is good, and the price is not expensive. After seeing the effectiveness of chemical fertilizers, every commune will buy a lot in order to have a good harvest next year.

Wu Youhai from Sanshui Commune was extremely envious. He now felt a little regretful that he did not let Zhou Fugui deal with the people from other communes last time. Now Zhou Fugui had to return to Hongjia Village.

It was such a good relationship, but he broke it himself.

Although Sanshui Commune had a mushroom chili sauce factory, Wu Youhai always felt uneasy without Zhou Fengnian's relationship.

If the relationship had not been broken, perhaps the fertilizer plant could have been located in Sanshui Commune. At that time, with the strength of the commune, the fertilizer plant could have been developed faster.

Near noon, Zhou Fugui arrived on a bicycle. He was carrying his mother and dozens of kilograms of greenhouse vegetables, which made the old man in his fifties very tired.

After seeing this, Zhou Fengnian quickly stepped forward to take the vegetables and criticized: "Dad, you should take the bus when you need to. You still think you are young."

Zhou Fugui panted and said, "I told you not to let your mother come, but she insisted on coming. Otherwise, it would not be easy for me to carry dozens of kilograms of eggplants."

Zhou's mother was unhappy: "I'm going to the city to see my grandson, how can it bother you?"

"It's not that you insist."

"Forget it, forget it. You should take a break first. You are so tired and still quarreling."

Zhou Fengnian was about to say something when he saw Zhou Xianyang walk in and said to him, "Dad, the phone in your study is ringing."

Zhou Fengnian nodded and said, "I understand. Go make tea for grandpa and grandma."

"Oh, grandpa and grandma, wait for me."

Zhou Xianyang ran out after hearing that. After Zhou Fengnian reminded them not to quarrel, he also came to the study.

Picked up the phone and asked, "I'm Zhou Fengnian."

"Director, I'm Xiao Hua. The Canton Fair just ended today. Can you guess how many orders our factory got?"

Zhou Fengnian immediately said, "Deputy Director Xiao, you have to sound happy as if you were promoted. You must have a lot of orders. Stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

On the other side, Deputy Factory Director Xiao said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do. Not long after the Canton Fair started, they were all attracted and surrounded us for five days in a row.
As a result, these people have placed orders. The minimum order is 50 units, and the maximum order is 2,000 units, including printers. They are so smart, but we need to change the language. Director, can this be done?"

Zhou Fengnian thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult. Let them go back and make the changes themselves. We can then sell this business!"

".It still has to be you, Director."

Xiao Hua then stopped beating around the bush and directly told Zhou Fengnian what he gained from the Canton Fair.

Representatives from forty-three countries requested a total of 19,570 units, as well as matching optical cables and printers.
