Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 251 Plan for exporting second-generation aircraft (Subscription required)

"Old Gu, you have read my opinion, what do you think?"

After Zhou Fengnian arrived at Gu Wenjie's office, he got straight to business.

But he suddenly noticed that Gu Wenjie's secretary was making tea, and the tea seemed to be wrong, so he quickly said, "Wait, let me take a look at the tea."

Seeing this, Gu Wenjie thought to himself that something was wrong and at the same time he blamed the secretary; he had been told to go out and make tea, but how could she be so careless.

After Zhou Fengnian finished looking at the tea leaves, he immediately asked with a droopy face, "Old Gu, you are so stingy. I have called you my leader for almost ten years, and you fooled me with cheap tea leaves?"

"What are you talking about? The child has forgotten it and you are so anxious again."

Gu Wenjie took out a box of good tea from the drawer with a bit of heartache. Although he felt bad, he still pretended to be generous and said, "Go ahead and make some tea. Can I still give you a sip of tea?"

The assistant was a little afraid to look at Gu Wenjie's face, so he lowered his head, took the tea leaves and went out to make tea.

Good tea is all made from high-grade dried tea. Although Zhou Fengnian has some, he drinks it up quickly. Besides, his two brothers and his father-in-law all like to taste his tea.

This resulted in Zhou Fengnian not getting enough tea to drink, so he started to take other people's tea.

When he had nothing to do, he would go to the First Ministry of Machine Building, pretend to report on his work, and took away a lot of tea from Deputy Leader Li.

After a few times, Deputy Leader Li realized that if Zhou Fengnian wanted to go again, he had to make it clear what work he wanted to report on.

After feeling distressed, Gu Wenjie began to talk to Zhou Fengnian about serious matters: "Fengnian, what is the specific situation of the third-generation Shenzhou Son aircraft? It is not easy to sell the second-generation aircraft at this stage."

"The overall architecture has been redesigned. It is different from the second-generation aircraft. We guarantee that the countries that buy the second-generation aircraft will not be able to develop our third-generation aircraft based on the second-generation aircraft."

Zhou Fengnian explained, "Moreover, the computing speed of the third-generation machine is more than 70 times that of the second-generation machine. I know that Amei has always wanted to surpass us.

But when they develop a supercomputer that surpasses the second-generation Shenzhou Son, we will be far behind them."

After listening to this, Gu Wenjie nodded and said, "It sounds very feasible, but we have to wait until you come up with complete results. If you say this now, it still seems like you are selling the country's most important equipment."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "You are too cautious, Lao Gu. There is no such thing as accusing others now."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Anyone who has come from that time should be more careful. Let's wait. I will report to you in person after you have produced the results."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head, then stretched out his hand and calculated with Gu Wenjie: "How long will it take? Old Gu, let me do the math with you, using Xiao Rizi and A Mei as an example.

Now both of them are preparing to develop their own supercomputers, and they may even be planning to launch the projects. If we get ahead of them, we can turn their R&D funds into purchase funds."

"It will take quite some time to negotiate for export. We won't be able to manufacture the third-generation aircraft until the end of the year at the earliest, which will take four months. If we start negotiations again after four months, it will take several more months. Back and forth, more than half a year has been wasted!"

What's more, while the news of Shenzhou's third-generation aircraft has not yet spread, the second-generation aircraft is China's top supercomputer.

If we sell it to Xiao Rizi or Amei at this time, they will definitely think that Hua Xia is facing other problems and will only sell it to them.

After they buy it, they will announce the third-generation aircraft to give Xiao Rizi and Amei a shock.

The world's top supercomputer and the world's second-best supercomputer have different prices.

"Fengnian, you are right. I will go and report."

After Gu Wenjie finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked up and asked, "Fengnian, you reported your identity faster than me, right? Why don't you go and report to your leader?"

"What a joke, let's put one thing on another. The supercomputer is the business of Shenzhou Computer Factory. Why don't you let me, the factory director, report it?"

“You are not an ordinary factory manager.”

However, Zhou Fengnian took a cup of tea and ignored him. This action made Gu Wenjie feel distressed. Was he sending a guest away? Sending him, the host, away in his office?

Zhou Fengnian had actually met the current deputy chief several times, but they were not very familiar with each other before, so the conversation was quite formal, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After that, Zhou Fengnian was very busy and hoped to leave more development funds for the computer factory, but after being rejected, he rarely reported on his work.

One was looking at the whole country, the other was looking at future development. They couldn't agree on the topic, so Zhou Fengnian was too lazy to go.

By selling the Shenzhou 2nd generation supercomputer, Zhou Fengnian also wanted to make the computer factory's finances a little more affluent.

If they want to improve, then many industries will improve as well, and the research and development of many electronic components will cost money.

With Zhou Fengnian around, they were already very frugal; how much did they spend? Compare it with the R&D funds of foreigners, and you will know how frugal the Shenzhou Computer Factory was.

It's almost like drinking northwest wind while milking.

Gu Wenjie also knew the difficulties faced by Zhou Fengnian and the Shenzhou Computer Factory. At this stage, all factories were having difficulty developing, except the Shenzhou Computer Factory, which kept setting new records.

It is really not easy to bring honor to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building every year.

He could only comfort her and tell her that he would try his best to report it and get it approved.

Only in this way could Zhou Fengnian be persuaded to leave, but Gu Wenjie felt heartbroken for most of the day as he saw that half of his tea was gone.

He even called his secretary over and told him how to make tea the next time Zhou Fengnian came.

------

After returning to the factory, Zhou Fengnian started working again.

When things get busy, the five technical departments all look for him, because Zhou Fengnian is the only "all-round" person in the factory and can solve almost any technical problem.

But we are not so busy now. The third generation of Shenzhou personal computers have just been produced and we are stepping up manufacturing to complete the task orders.

The third-generation Shenzhou aircraft is also nearing completion. Zhou Fengnian is now responsible for guiding the development of the operating system and program functions, and writing a textbook for Tsinghua University.

Dean Pang came to him for help. After all, Zhou Fengnian was the one who was most familiar with the operating system and program functions.

The courses offered by computer schools must keep up with the development of domestic computers.

Now many teachers from Tsinghua University will come to the computer factory to study for a period of time.

I come here to study for three months every year, learn the most advanced knowledge, and then teach it to my students.

The political review in universities these days is very strict, so it is impossible for someone to be pro-foreign.

It will take a few years, after the opening up, for those who are friendly to foreigners to gradually emerge.

Now, even if you are admitted to a university, you still have to go through a political review first. If you fail the review, you will not be allowed to apply for some majors and you have to obey the adjustment.

Zhou Fengnian actually felt that Dean Pang had used military tactics on him, and at first he often gave him gifts, hoping that he would come to the school to teach for another semester. However, Zhou Fengnian refused at that time, saying that his schedule was too tight. Later, Dean Pang came several times, and suddenly changed the topic and hoped that Zhou Fengnian would write another textbook.

Zhou Fengnian was stunned, and agreed embarrassedly without thinking carefully. After all, he had rejected Dean Pang so many times.

But after Dean Pang left, he realized that he must have fallen into a trap.

However, since he had agreed to it, Zhou Fengnian had to find time to write a textbook. Fortunately, he could submit it to Tsinghua University after the new year, so there was no need to rush.

On Sunday when we rest.

The three brothers of the Zhou family got together again and talked about what they had gained this week.

Last week they both took money to inquire about things, and this week they both made quite a lot of progress, including finding the place.

"Third brother, I was lucky too. I rented a shop on the street in Qianmen Building. It's hard to buy here, so I can only rent it.

But after I rented the place, I asked around nearby and happened to buy the house behind the shop. If I can open the shop, I can directly open up the back and use it as a kitchen and a few private rooms. "

Zhou Weitian said with a smile: "The street office thought I was going to engage in speculation, but I fooled them by saying that I was going to relocate my relatives."

Nowadays, many people live in shops facing the street and also own their own shops, but those shops are all registered with the neighborhood committee or street office, and the government takes the majority.

The street office has a list of things like auto repair shops and tailor shops.

Everything will be fine by the end of next year. By then, I will be able to get a self-employed business license, and I won’t have to register under the name of the street office anymore. All the money I earn will be my own.

After Zhou Fengnian took a look, he nodded and said, "Brother, you found a good place. You are well-informed."

"That's right. How many people have I hosted? I can't even count them myself. These connections are solid."

Zhou Weitian boasted, but it was really as he said, cooking for others often helped to build relationships, and his cooking skills were pretty good, so he could slowly build closer relationships.

After Zhou Weitian finished speaking, Zhou Jiaan smiled awkwardly and said, "Third brother, I'm having a bit of trouble. Although I found a suitable place, the price offered by that person is too high.
Even if I paid for it, it probably wouldn’t be enough; and they seemed to be targeting me and insisted that I buy it. They have sent people to look for me several times. "

Zhou Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Who is this person? So arrogant, is there still such a person in the Forty-Nine City?"

Zhou Weitian interrupted, "Third brother, they were dormant for a while, but they have recently emerged. The pigeon market has opened up, and the current pigeon market is much bolder than before."

In the past, the pigeon market was really prepared for the purpose of filling up the stomach and adjusting supplies.

But now, there are even whole pigs for sale, and Zhou Weitian can tell at a glance that these are whole pigs from the meat processing plant.

There are also various other products from state-owned factories that can be bought in Pigeon Market.

"But he can threaten us, let's see what he can do. Second brother, I'll call Wei Nan and two other disciples."

Zhou Fengnian said quickly: "Boss, don't be so impulsive. I'll just give my friend a heads up tomorrow. It's not a big deal for us to buy a house privately anyway."

Wang Jinghui, whom I knew before, is now the first deputy director of the Sijiucheng Industrial Bureau. With their relationship, he can contact the Public Security Bureau with just one phone call.

Even if the other party is a kid from a big compound, he has to be held down, unless his father is called out. Then Zhou Fengnian will have to reason with him.

"Those bastards are unreasonable. They only asked for 40,000 yuan for a shabby compound, even though the place is relatively large. Ugh!"

Zhou Jiaan couldn't help but curse, "What the hell, I can buy twice as much space as them with 40,000 yuan."

The slums are just alley dwellings. If they were cheaper and the price was reasonable, then the place would be suitable. But once you open your mouth, the price increases by three or four times, and you have to buy it, which is like robbery.

And the robbers came to their house.

"I'll make a phone call about this, second brother, and leave me their address later."

Zhou Fengnian was speaking when he suddenly heard Zhou Fugui's shouting in the yard.

"Where are the people? San'er, Xianyang, are they out?"

Zhou Fengnian and the other two walked out of the study and immediately saw Zhou's father pushing a bicycle and shouting. The three brothers hurried forward to help move things.

Some mushroom hot sauce again, and fresh greenhouse vegetables.

After unloading the things and parking the bicycle, Zhou Fengnian asked, "Dad, why did you come here suddenly?"

Father Zhou said, "I'm bringing you some food, and I have something to tell you. But how did the three of you get together?"

Zhou Weitian said, "We were just talking about something. Dad, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll cook for you."

"Just make something casual. I'm not here just to eat. It's fine as long as you're all here. San'er, let's talk in your study."

After Zhou Jiaan put the vegetables and hot sauce in place, Zhou's father asked a few people to go to Zhou Fengnian's study.

After everyone came in, Zhou's father took out a large cloth bag from his arms. It looked like a thick stack of paper, but the three of them could tell at a glance that it was money.

When Zhou's father opened the cloth bag, the money inside appeared, and it looked like there were tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile: "Dad, you rode your bike here for so much money? Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"

"I'm in good health. But please take some time to check on me. I've been feeling some discomfort in my waist lately."

Zhou's father's tough talk softened within five seconds. He had also been treated by his son several times and was now convinced of Zhou Fengnian's medical skills. He would not be tough in front of Zhou Fengnian anymore.

"Okay, I'll show it to you later, but this is the dividend from the fertilizer factory, what are you going to do with it?"

"I'll share it with you. Your mother and I have no use for so much money. Your mother only has a few thousand dollars. If I give her all the 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, she will be unable to sleep all night."

Father Zhou paused for a moment, then continued, "But this is not just for the three of you. Chunhua and Xiaomei also have a share. The family was in a tight spot before, so all the good things were reserved for the three of you, especially the third child.
Now that our family is well-off, we have to give it to our two daughters. Otherwise, the two sons-in-law will definitely feel unhappy even if they don’t say it.”

"Dad, look at you, you have a mean mind, don't you? Would your two brothers-in-law think so? You've watched too many plays."

Zhou Weitian refuted his father out of habit, but he didn't notice his father's increasingly ugly expression, and he was slapped in the face before he could finish his words.

"Get lost! I won't give it to you this time! You've ruined my health!"

"Dad, forget it, that's it, Boss."

"Yeah, Dad, there's no need for you to be angry with the boss, forget it!"
