"Let them in!"
Zhou Fengnian frowned and said that it was useless to ask the security department to prepare in advance, in the end the workers still came to him to make trouble.
After he finished speaking, all the workers came in in droves. In the end, there was no room left in the house, and there were still many people outside.
Seeing this, Zhou Fengnian shouted, "Alright, don't come in yet, there are too many people, I'll go outside with you to deal with it.
You all came to me because of housing allocation, so go to the notice board."
After hearing Zhou Fengnian's words, the workers who came in stopped again and then walked outside together.
They still listened to Zhou Fengnian's words. Most of the benefits in the factory were obtained by Zhou Fengnian, and even the promise of building tube buildings was fulfilled.
But there are too few tube-shaped buildings to accommodate all the people in the factory.
Even if all the factory's money was used to build tube-shaped buildings, it would not be enough for everyone to share. In that case, other benefits in the factory would have to be stopped, and development would also have to stop.
When Zhou Fengnian arrived at the factory notice board, he looked around and saw that there were almost several hundred people there.
"You all put down your work and came to me because of the house? All of you!"
Zhou Fengnian asked loudly. After hearing his question, the people in the front row lowered their heads guiltily, and the people in the back did not dare to answer.
Putting down work to see the factory manager would be considered absenteeism; even if they were asking about housing, so many people would delay production, especially when the factory had just received a batch of orders.
At this time, Secretary Ge and several other deputy factory directors also arrived.
Secretary Ge was about to say something with the loudspeaker, but was stopped by Zhou Fengnian.
Zhou Fengnian said loudly: "I can understand that you didn't get a house, but why are you looking for me? Do you want to redistribute because you have so many people? Let me tell you, there are only 500 tube-shaped buildings. No matter how you divide them, some people will still not get one.
And have you looked at the list? Are there any people from other factories on it? Are there any cadres?
There is not a single cadre or outsider! They are all frontline workers and technicians. The factory has already done its best to distribute the housing fairly and justly. What else do you want?"
A worker said unhappily, "Director, I have done as much as others in recent years, and my skills are not behind. Why am I not on the list?"
Zhou Fengnian turned around and quickly remembered who the worker was, so he shouted, "Tian Gao, you work a lot, but Yu Le, the model worker in Workshop 4, doesn't work less? Check to see if his name is on the list of housing allocations this time.
The housing allocation this time is not entirely based on merit, but also on family situation. The factory has learned about your family's situation.
Take the list and ask each one to see if there is anyone who is better off than you. If there is someone whose family conditions are better than yours, it will be my dereliction of duty!"
Secretary Ge then held up a loudspeaker and said, “Comrades, this housing distribution was made after many considerations, and the factory held a meeting to discuss it, and there is a plan to build houses five years later.
Those who didn’t get a place this time will have another chance next time. The factory will build more tube-shaped buildings in the future, and strive to ensure that every comrade can get a room.”
When Zhou Fengnian mentioned Tian Gao just now, some people had already figured it out and left on their own, and now people are leaving in large groups.
After Secretary Ge finished speaking, the group of people standing at the front also wanted to leave, but they were being watched by their leaders and did not dare to move.
Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, go back to work. Next time if you are dissatisfied, investigate first, then select a representative to communicate with me. What are you doing rushing into my office and saying such things? Do you think I hacked your house?
Did you hear that, Tian Gao? Why are you shrinking your head? "
After hearing Zhou Fengnian's name being mentioned, Tian Gao quickly nodded and said, "I understand, Director. I won't dare to do that again."
Zhou Fengnian said: "You can say you feel wronged. You are eager to get a room because you want to get married. The other workers have the same reasons for wanting a room, but those on the list are indeed more difficult.
But if you don’t mind, the factory can help you communicate with the local street office and let you live in the houses that the comrades who moved into the tube-shaped buildings originally lived in. There may be more slums.”
This can be considered as a solution to the housing shortage. After hearing this, the workers in front of him all nodded with their eyes brightened.
Nowadays it’s good enough to have a place to live, and many people live together with their families.
Zhou Fengnian turned around and said, "Deputy Director Chai, you are in charge of logistics. Please make an announcement in the factory and communicate with the comrades who have been assigned houses and the street office..."
"I understand, Director. I'll do it right away. I'll personally monitor this matter."
After hearing this, Deputy Director Chai immediately made a promise.
After hearing these words, the workers apologized to Zhou Fengnian and hurried back to the workshop to work.
After everyone left, Secretary Ge came forward and wiped his sweat and said, "Director, you are so powerful. I thought something was going to happen just now and almost had the security department assembled."
"Of course I am full of energy because I have a clear conscience. I am exhausted from allocating houses. I don't know how many people I have offended just by rejecting those who came to ask for houses."
"Hahaha, those people wouldn't dare to offend you, the factory director."
Secretary Ge smiled and said that in the factory he had to call Zhou Fengnian the factory director, but outside, he had to respectfully call him Commissioner Zhou.
It has nothing to do with the academician committee member. This committee member refers to the substitute member.
Zhou Fengnian's political achievements in recent years are substantial, and despite the generally poor industrial development in the country, the factories related to Zhou Fengnian are still able to generate strong exports and foreign exchange earnings.
It feels like a great wave washing away the sand.
After this matter was resolved, Zhou Fengnian went back to work.
After writing the plan for exporting supercomputers, Zhou Fengnian put it in a drawer.
As soon as the third-generation Shenzhou aircraft was manufactured, he immediately took the plan to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building for discussion.
Xiaorizi is now madly researching supercomputers. They may be unwilling to be suppressed by China in the field of computers, so several companies, under the promotion of the Xiaorizi government, have formed a joint research institute.
But it doesn't seem to be going smoothly. I heard that the researchers didn't provide enough funding.
When they were planning to invest tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of yen to research their own supercomputers, China released a message to them that it was willing to sell them the second-generation Shenzhou Son computer.
And it is a supercomputer with no restrictions.
Now it’s time for Xiaozi to make a choice: spend a lot of money to build it yourself, which may not be successfully manufactured in the future.
It is still a very small price to buy China's supercomputer.
At that time, China's Shenzhou Son II was still the world's number one. If Amei wanted to develop a supercomputer that could surpass the Shenzhou Son II, it would take at least a few years.
Zhou Fengnian has already narrowed down the countries to which the Shenzhou II aircraft can be exported: China, Argentina, France, West Germany and Russia.
It can not only earn a large amount of foreign exchange, but also break the bones of these countries' independent scientific research one by one.
The country has been a bit confused in the past two years, and many developments have stagnated. It is impossible for Zhou Fengnian to take care of everything.
The computer factory, machine tool factory, steel rolling mill and machinery factory all survived being eliminated because of Zhou Fengnian's guidance in technological upgrades.
But taking care of these four factories is already the limit of what Zhou Fengnian can do.
He also took several days off to give lectures at the university. After the college entrance examination was resumed, Dean Pang of the School of Computer Science came to him and made a request, and Zhou Fengnian found it difficult to refuse.
When he went to teach, Zhou Fengnian was extremely popular. It is reasonable to say that he is the number one computer expert in China, or even in the world.
Tsinghua University also bought a lot of the second-generation Shenzhou computers he developed.
It's just that Zhou Fengnian was really too busy later. After half a semester of classes, he was busy with other things. Now Zhou Fengnian is still very busy, but more often it is about development issues that need his advice.
------
The next day, Zhou Fengnian took a bus back home after a busy day.
As soon as he opened the door and entered the house, Zhou Xianyang came out from the backyard and informed him, "Dad, we have a guest at home, and it seems to be someone you know."
"My acquaintance? Who?"
Zhou Fengnian handed the briefcase to Zhou Xianyang and said, "Put it on the table in the study. Why are you visiting at this time?"
When he walked into the backyard, Zhou Fengnian immediately saw an acquaintance. His wife Zhou Yan was serving tea to Li Nianhua.
"Aunt Li? You're back?"
When Zhou Fengnian saw Li Nianhua, his mood immediately improved. He walked into the main house with a smile on his face, and then saw a middle-aged couple.
The man was still wearing a military uniform, with a high rank badge on his shoulders.
Seeing Luo Jianye, a familiar-looking child, standing next to the middle-aged man with a similar face, Zhou Fengnian immediately guessed who this person was.
"You must be Brother Luo, right? I didn't see you last time I went to the northwest, and I didn't have much time to stay with you. What a pity."
After hearing this, Luo Dechang reached out and shook Zhou Fengnian's hand, saying with a smile: "Commissioner Zhou, we finally meet. Thank you for taking care of my parents before."
"Engineer Luo and Aunt Li took care of me more, and it's too formal to call me Commissioner Zhou. I remember Engineer Luo said that you are older than me, so just call me Fengnian."
Zhou Fengnian looked around and asked, "Where is Engineer Luo? He didn't come back with you. And he hasn't replied to my letters since last year. He's too busy to come."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Fengnian noticed the expressions on Li Nianhua and Luo Dechang's faces and asked in disbelief, "Engineer Luo, he didn't come back?"
After a few seconds of silence, Luo Dechang finally spoke up: "Last year, there was an explosion in that factory, and my father was affected. After that..."
Zhou Fengnian was stunned when he heard this, and then he felt as uncomfortable as he did in the past two years. After a while, he said, "Let him come back a long time ago."
Without Luo Gong's escort and help at the beginning, he wouldn't have had it so easy.
"Father wanted to wait for my transfer order to come down before going back together, but that's a year too late."
Luo Dechang felt a little sad when he explained it, but it had been a year since the incident and as the eldest son, he had been able to adjust his mood.
Li Nianhua also had a sad look on his face, but he was comforted by his daughter-in-law and Zhou Yan who patted his back.
After a while, Zhou Fengnian didn't want to mention this matter anymore, which would make Aunt Li sad, so he asked about other things: "Brother Luo, you are older than me, so I will call you this; are you and Aunt Li settled in the city forever?"
Luo Dechang said, "Well, Fengnian, now that he has been transferred back to serve as the chief of staff, he may live in Sijiu City in the future, and Jianye also wants to go to university."
Zhou Fengnian asked, "Have you arranged a place to live?"
Luo Dechang shook his head and said, "I just came back and I'm staying in a guesthouse. I can only arrange a place after I report in."
"I've already prepared it for you. Jianye still has to go to school. If he lives in the place arranged by the army, it will definitely be very remote."
Zhou Fengnian turned around and was about to call Zhou Yan, but he saw that Zhou Yan had already gone to get something.
The couple are very tacitly connected and understand each other without saying anything.
Soon, Zhou Yan brought over a box and handed it to Zhou Fengnian.
Zhou Fengnian took out the title deed, handed it over and said, "Brother Luo, you guys should live here first. It's near Qianmen Street, and it's very convenient for going to school or shopping."
"This cannot be accepted. Absolutely not."
Luo Dechang shook his head and said that he had just taken a look and the area written on the title deed was not small.
Li Nianhua also said: "Yes, Fengnian, a house is too expensive."
"It's not expensive at all. Didn't Luo Gong sell this courtyard house to me at a low price? How about this, you can give me 600 or 800 yuan, and I will buy you a place to live in advance."
Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said that he didn't care much about material things, but he remembered very clearly those who helped him.
"A good year, my"
"Brother Luo, it's pointless to keep refusing. After all, I'm still living in your house now, so how do you account for this?"
"This is different."
"Aunt Li, please keep it and stop being polite to me."
Zhou Fengnian had no choice but to turn to Li Nianhua and said, "If it doesn't work out, you can stay here first, and return it to me when you move out. Jianye still has to take the college entrance examination, right?"
Hearing Luo Jianye's voice, Li Nianhua stopped pushing his hand away, and Luo Dechang also hesitated.
Of course he knew that the army could not arrange very good accommodation for him, maybe just a location near the suburbs.
He and his wife didn't mind, but their son had to go to school, and he couldn't let his mother stay with him in the army all the time.
"Then I'll take advantage of you, Fengnian."
"This is nothing. Aunt Li helped me with the cleaning. This house is not worth much. Who of us wants to buy it? Can't we buy it?"
Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said, Luo Dechang is just not good at beating around the bush, but it's good to deal with such a person.
After chatting for a while, it was too late, so Luo Dechang said goodbye and they had to go back to the guesthouse.
However, I have made an appointment with Zhou Fengnian to go see the house tomorrow morning.
Luo Jianye also received a set of high school textbooks and exam notes, the exam notes of which were compiled by Zhou Fengnian.
After receiving this, the expression on Luo Dechang's face was happier than when he received the house.
After leaving Zhou Fengnian's house, Luo Dechang's wife couldn't help but say with emotion: "Dechang, Dad's 'friend regardless of age difference' is really a good person."
The favor from ten years ago is still remembered today, and the house was obviously prepared for Luo Cheng. It's a pity that his father died in an accident.
Li Nianhua said at the side: "Your father has always said that Zhou Fengnian is the smartest person he has ever met in his life. He has always been happy to help Zhou Fengnian."
Luo Dechang’s wife said, “Indeed, Dechang, you have to help them if they have any problems in the future.”
"I want to, but I am only the chief of staff now, and Fengnian is already a substitute member."
Luo Dechang shook his head and said that he was several years older than Zhou Fengnian, but there was a big difference in rank.
In terms of administrative level, he is only level nine, while Zhou Fengnian is already level three. In formal occasions, he has to respectfully call him Commissioner Zhou.
