Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 257 Selection of Successor Factory Director (Subscription Request)
"School is still mainly about learning. Only when you learn something of your own can you have the confidence to talk about dating."

Zhou Fengnian had not originally intended to lecture his son, but before he set off, he couldn't help but give him a few words of advice.

The baby who used to roll over and over on him is now old enough to go to college.

"Dad, I got it. I will definitely bring you a satisfactory test paper at the end of the semester."

Zhou Xianyang was dressed very smartly to report today, carrying a quilt and luggage on his bicycle.

Originally, Zhou Fengnian could have asked for leave to see Zhou Xianyang off, but his son refused. He hadn't seen his own father ask for leave in the past ten years, so this time of reporting back was no big deal, so he could go on his own.

After saying hello to his mother and sister one by one, Zhou Xianyang rode away on his bicycle.

After Zhou Xianyang left, Zhou Yiyi immediately shouted, "Dad, I want to go to college too."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and rubbed his daughter's hair and said, "When you go to high school, I will definitely help you go to college."

There will be a huge amount of question types by then, and I will definitely make up for it so that my daughter can get into college.

Not long after that, Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui came over and said with a smile that they were going to see their sister off.

Their two younger sisters go to the same school as Zhou Yiyi. As an older brother, he is worried about his three younger sisters going to and from school, so he picks them up and drops them off every time.

In the past, they went to and from school together, but now the three brothers are separated. Zhou Xianyang went to college, and the two older brothers became unemployed vagrants.

However, they are not truly unemployed. When self-employed individuals are allowed next year or the year after, Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui will be busy.

What's more, they are helping their father now, and sometimes they are too lazy to run errands to buy things, so these two brothers run around the two nearby districts to get some good things and bring them back.

After his daughters went to school, Zhou Fengnian also took a bus to work in the factory.

But he doesn't have to be busy now. He just needs to focus on the research and development of various technical departments, and only give guidance when there are problems.

After Zhou Fengnian inspected all the technical departments, he returned to his office without any worries.

The technical department is conducting research and development and upgrading completely in accordance with his development ideas. There is nothing wrong with the path, we just need to keep moving forward in this direction.

The third-generation Shenzhou aircraft is also being manufactured and will probably be fully manufactured in two months.

Not long after returning to the office, Zhou Fengnian received the document sent from above.

The first batch of export orders has been confirmed. Three countries have ordered a total of seven units, and the latest one must be delivered before the end of next year.

This is no problem at all for the Shenzhou Computer Factory. Now the two workshops can produce six second-generation machines a year. Even if they allocate some manpower to manufacture the Shenzhou third-generation machine next year, they can still complete the task.

The remaining countries are also very interested and it is estimated that the deal will be reached soon.

Zhou Fengnian originally wanted to hold a meeting to discuss the matter, but suddenly remembered that Liang Yongsheng and Xiao Hua were needed, so he asked Pan Heng to call them.

Liang Yongsheng came over first. After entering the room, he greeted Zhou Fengnian and said, "Director, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Well, I guess so. Our factory has good news. Before I meet with other factory leaders, I want to tell you about it."

Zhou Fengnian smiled, then handed the production task of the export order to Liang Yongsheng and continued
"We have won an order, and we will have more funds next year. Deputy Director Liang, what do you think of the development of our factory?"

Liang Yongsheng was startled, then smiled and said: "Our factory will definitely get better and better under your leadership."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We're the only ones in this room. Deputy Director Liang, tell me about your ideas."

Zhou Fengnian interrupted and said, "I don't ask about the factory's affairs every day, so I definitely don't know as much as you do."

In fact, he knew the computer factory best. After all, it was Zhou Fengnian's idea to promote the merger of factories. He said this now just to test them.

"Then I'll be frank, Director?"

Liang Yongsheng saw Zhou Fengnian nod, so he said: "Our factory is developing very well. As long as you are here, there will be no problems in the next ten or even twenty years."

"Deputy Director Liang, you have a really heavy burden. What if I am no longer here?"

"Then we can only trade quantity for quality. My suggestion is to strengthen research and development. It would be best if we increase subsidies to universities for computers and establish cooperative exchanges, not only with Tsinghua University, but also with Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

After Liang Yongsheng finished speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Director, actually what I said is what you said before, and I think it's a good idea to do so.

The reason why our computers sell so well is because of their advanced technology. If we want to keep it that way, we have to invest in development."

Zhou Fengnian nodded and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Liang, your summary is more complete than mine, and what I said at the beginning was not put into specific documents, but you wrote it all down."

Liang Yongsheng smiled and said: "Although there are no specific documents, there are still meeting records."

Then Zhou Fengnian said something else to Liang Yongsheng before letting him go back.

After a while, Zhou Fengnian asked Pan Heng to call Xiao Hua over.

After chatting with Xiao Hua for a while, I knew what he was thinking; after chatting for a while, Zhou Fengnian also let Xiao Hua go back.

Zhou Fengnian also had an idea about who to recommend as the factory director. Xiao Hua, the deputy factory director, focused too much on performance and neglected the fundamentals of the computer factory. In short, he had a tendency to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. This kind of person could be a deputy factory director or a market developer, but he was not suitable for this era.

If he has the opportunity in the future, he will probably go into business and will not work in the system for too long.

Zhou Fengnian has formulated the development direction and route. After he leaves, it will depend on the factory director's choice.

Although Zhou Fengnian was still in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building and could provide guidance and control to the computer director, he could not change the factory director frequently.

It's okay to replace one or two, but if you replace too many, people might say that the computer factory has become his private factory.

Zhou Fengnian's original intention was for the development of computers, but it was useless because no one believed in him; Xiao Hua's decision could still allow the Shenzhou Computer Factory to make huge profits in the short term, but it had no future in the long run.

Rather than changing the factory manager later, it is better to choose a suitable one at the beginning.

Not long after Deputy Director Xiao left, Zhou Fengnian convened a cadre meeting.

After calling all the main cadres over, he told them the good news of the export orders.

With export orders expected to be over 300 million US dollars, they can keep one-tenth of the profit.

The estimated amount is tens of millions!

Even if it is spread over three years, it is still a considerable amount.

Zhou Fengnian told the main cadres of the factory about his plan and asked them to start the subsidy as soon as possible after the financial funds were released.

One third of these funds should be used for subsidies.

Universities receive a 70% subsidy, and high schools a 90% subsidy, but applicants must promise to offer computer classes to familiarize students with computers.

It is equivalent to a university buying a personal computer for only three hundred yuan, which is almost the price of two bicycles. The remaining loss cost will be borne by the Shenzhou Computer Factory itself.

High schools only need to spend more than a hundred dollars to buy a Shenzhou personal computer.

However, if high schools want to apply for subsidies, they must provide the approval commitment document from the Education Bureau; Shenzhou personal computers must be used in students' computer classes. If the school resells the computers after applying, the local Education Bureau will be responsible for compensating for the subsidies.

Zhou Fengnian is not worried about the university. Once the news gets out, if the university dares to do such a thing, the resellers will be torn to pieces by the current college students.

It's not necessarily the case for high school. The emperor is far away and the Shenzhou Computer Factory cannot inspect every day, not to mention that the other party has various excuses.

We have to find someone to take responsibility, and it has to be the local education bureau. If anything goes wrong, we will find him.

Otherwise, don't use the subsidies from Shenzhou Computer Factory. The 20 million yuan is not enough to subsidize universities. Building a computer classroom requires forty or fifty computers. How many universities in the country are there?

Even if the computer factory was squeezed dry, there wouldn't be enough to go around, so it could only be done slowly in batches, but at least it would be a start.

After the meeting, Liang Yongsheng returned to his office and it took him a long time to calm down.

What Zhou Fengnian said just now were all what he reported to Zhou Fengnian.

It is certainly not the case that Zhou Fengnian took credit for his work. This was originally an idea proposed by Zhou Fengnian, and he improved it. Moreover, this was not a formal report document. It was just a private meeting between several key leaders.

What credit can you get for this?
Liang Yongsheng’s first reaction was that Zhou Fengnian was leaving, either for a promotion or to take charge of other developments.

Asking him about the future development of the factory means considering nominating him as the factory director?

The more Liang Yongsheng thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the happier he became.

Everyone can see the importance and potential of the Shenzhou Computer Factory. If you can become the director of this factory, many directors in the department will have to treat you politely, and even the district heads in your jurisdiction will have to smile at you.

There are about 8,000 workers in our factory and 5,000 in the branch factory, totaling more than 13,000 people.

Liang Yongsheng slowly calmed down his excitement. This was just his guess. He shouldn't be so excited before things were settled.

------

After returning to the office, Zhou Fengnian also completed his wireless communication development plan and then asked Pan Heng to send it to the department.

It not only involves the development of civilian technology, but more importantly, military aspects.

A large number of these technologies can be used in information warfare, and Zhou Fengnian also explained the necessity.

Gu Wenjie will definitely take it seriously after reading it, and so will the higher-level leaders.

If no one cares, Zhou Fengnian can only build a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft first, and then test it above Sijiu City.

It just requires a lot of technology, including batteries, anti-radar detection materials, information transmission, etc.

Zhou Fengnian pulled down the proficiency simulation system panel that had not been opened for a long time. After seeing the number of 19 simulations on it, he felt a little relieved.

With so many simulations accumulated, it was enough for him to develop all the technologies needed for a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
