Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 266 Visiting Amei's Mission (Subscription Request)
"Fengnian, I have something to ask you, do you want to visit Amei?"

On the day after New Year's Eve, Gu Wenjie suddenly found Zhou Fengnian and asked him about this matter.

Zhou Fengnian looked up in surprise after hearing this, and then asked, "What's going on? Lao Gu, why do you suddenly want me to visit Amei?"

"It's not what we meant, it's what the other party meant."

Gu Wenjie showed an invitation for a visit with several names on it, the last one being his.

"We have just established diplomatic relations with Ame. Although it was our decision to visit Ame, the other party also readily accepted it, so we sent an invitation.
As for you being there too, maybe you want to meet the most amazing scientist in our country?"

Zhou Fengnian curled his lips and said: "Do you believe this? Tell me the truth, is this a mission? If it's not a mission, I won't go."

There was even the leader's name on it. If it was a mission, he would have no choice but to accept it.

"I don't know either. My boss asked me to ask you what you think. If you don't want to go, then...

"Oh, then I won't go. I don't want to go. I have a lot of things to do in China, the drone factory, the wireless communications department, the Shenzhou computer factory. I don't need to worry about that. I'm too busy to handle it."

Zhou Fengnian paused and continued, "The real reason is that I am afraid of death and don't want to go."

"You are quite honest."

Gu Wenjie was stunned for a moment and then laughed, then he said seriously: "Fengnian, there will be no danger. If Amei dares to do such a thing, their national credibility will completely collapse."

"What if Ami is some idiot who can't see the rest and wants to kill me?"

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said that he knew Amei would not attack him at this time.

Since the diplomatic relations had just been established, Amei would not take any action even if Zhou Fengnian posed a great threat.

I guess he was invited by the academics, or to receive some award.

He had been invited before, but Zhou Fengnian refused.

If he happens to meet someone with a mental problem, it would be so unfair to him.

Besides, there is nothing attractive about Amei now, those products?

Zhou Fengnian was not interested. He could make whatever he wanted by himself, or mobilize resources for research, development and production.

Gu Wenjie asked: "What if it's a mission?"

"Then I'll go, I'll just try to be careful. Comrade Lao Gu, are you kidding me? Do you really need me to go?"

Gu Wenjie immediately said, "Yes! I asked that just now because I was considering your feelings."

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "My mood has gotten worse. It hasn't gotten any better. When are we going to leave? I'll try to arrange my work and call my boss to ask. If I can avoid going, I really don't want to go."

"Just prepare a week in advance and leave two days in advance. After all, the journey takes a long time. Can your secretary take on the heavy responsibility for the ministry's affairs?"

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "Even if he can take the responsibility, I dare not let him. It's only been a short time. Let Comrade Yifeng help me share the responsibility, and I will take over the task when I come back."

He was not surprised to visit Amebia, as he had known about the establishment of diplomatic relations a month ago, but it was a bit surprising that he was asked to go.

It was normal for Zhou Fengnian to feel guilty. He had just sold two Shenzhouzi II aircraft to Amy, but just a few months later, they announced the development of the Shenzhouzi III aircraft.

Wouldn’t anyone with a discerning eye see that they were selling inferior quality products?

But this is not anyone's fault. They don't have the ability to develop it. It's good enough that they can buy good ones. Zhou Fengnian hasn't done anything to them yet.

The people who invited him were probably not those who were involved in politics. They might have been interested in Zhou Fengnian and supercomputers, so they suggested adding Zhou Fengnian, and then the word spread to him.

"Don't be upset, just take it as a way to relax and see how foreigners are more advanced than us. In a few decades, we will surpass them immediately."

Gu Wenjie smiled and consoled him, "And we will give you some foreign currency. You can buy some souvenirs when you get there and bring some small gifts for your family."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "We will be able to catch up with them in 20 years. The social system in the United States is not good. The gap between the high-end and the low-end is huge."

If we fail to catch up with the Americans within 20 years, it will be Zhou Fengnian's fault.

Twenty years later, he will be able to suck blood from foreign countries with cutting-edge technology and then give back to develop the country.

The Americans are strong in some areas and weak in others. If they were placed in the world of cultivating immortals, they would be the ones that millions of people rely on to help one sect ascend to immortality.

They benefit the people and the whole country, and they specialize in fighting against such selfish sects; these sects have unstable foundations, and although they seem powerful, they are actually just relying on drugs, and their cultivation is superficial.

After chatting for a while, Gu Wenjie went to work, while Zhou Fengnian continued to sort out the development direction.

There are many directions for development in the future. Their domestic technical personnel are actually very smart, but lack R&D direction.

It's like groping in the dark, it's so hard to find the way.

Zhou Fengnian can give the direction forward, then erect street lights at key locations and let domestic technicians move in this direction.

This is the case with the fifth technical department of Shenzhou Computer Factory. After Zhou Fengnian summarized the principles of the new photolithography process, he asked them to develop and implement it.

Otherwise, if we leave everything to Zhou Fengnian, he will work himself to death without producing any results.

"The five technical departments and the chip workshop should also be separated from the Shenzhou Computer Factory"

Zhou Fengnian suddenly thought that the domestic demand for chips will increase in the future, and it will not be possible to just connect with computer manufacturers.

After being spun off, the chip factory will specialize in the production of integrated circuit chips and other items and supply them to various domestic electrical appliances.

Zhou Fengnian wrote this down in his memo book and then continued to work.

He is now summarizing the development direction and required technical principles of the second-generation unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. If the drone factory has completed the construction before he leaves, he will let the technical department of the drone factory study it first.

There is also a wireless communications department, which was not established until after the New Year.

Today is the second day of the New Year and most people are still on holiday. Zhou Fengnian came to the department because he has a lot of things to deal with.

I didn't expect to hear such bad news after arriving!

They were so busy until dark. When Zhou Fengnian was leaving for home, he asked his assistant, "Mingjie, does your family have any problem with you being busy during the New Year?"

Wang Mingjie said: "I have some opinions, but I can understand them. After all, we are busy with development, so it is normal to have less rest."

"That's good. My dad saw me leaving this morning and his face and nose were not the same. He almost said that I ruined the atmosphere of the New Year."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and continued, "I came to the department recently to research some things. It's more convenient to look up information here. You can rest at home tomorrow."

".I'd better come over. I can help you get the information. Otherwise, you'll have to run around. And I can also run errands for you to heat up your lunch at noon."

Wang Mingjie thought for a while and said, "It's okay at home. I can see my parents and wife every day." He still knew when to agree and when to refuse. He had just been assigned to be an assistant to a leader. If he went back to rest at this time, it would mean that he didn't want to make progress.

"Okay, as long as your family doesn't complain, it's New Year's Day after all, haha."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said, “Then help me go to the new factory tomorrow to have a look, and then ask the cadres and technical staff of the new factory to come to the department for a meeting on the fifth day of the New Year.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, we will go and urge the wireless paging factory to choose a site, and then hold a department meeting in the afternoon."

Zhou Fengnian had arranged a lot of things. He suddenly remembered some of them, but was afraid that he would forget them on the same day, so he asked his assistant to remember them and remind him when the time came.

After giving him the instructions, Zhou Fengnian told him to go home quickly as he also wanted to go home.

If it weren't for the need to check some information in the department, Zhou Fengnian would have been researching things at home long ago.

------

In the evening, after dinner, the whole family took a rest or cleaned up.

After Zhou Xiaomei helped to pack up, she planned to go home with Xu Zhenyu first. They lived too far away, and it would take a long time to ride their bikes back.

The others didn't go back so early. They all lived in Nanluoguxiang, and the farthest one was only seven or eight minutes' walk away.

When Zhou Xiaomei and her husband left, they took a bag of lunch boxes with them so they could heat up the food the next morning, saving them the trouble of cooking.

It was Zhou's mother who stuffed the lunch box into her daughter's hand. Now that the family has money, she is no longer stingy.

Not counting the dividends from the fertilizer factory, Zhou's mother has several thousand yuan in her hands, and her five children's families are still filial to her, earning her 40 yuan a month.

Zhou Fengnian was also tired from eating and was about to go back to the house to rest when he noticed his son and two nephews following him in.

"What's wrong with you? What's the matter?"

Zhou Xianyang pointed at his two cousins ​​and said, "You ask them, I'm just showing you the way."

Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui looked at their cousin at the same time, then looked at each other. Zhou Xianzhe scratched his head and said, "Uncle San, we want to borrow some industrial coupons from you."

"Borrowing industrial coupons? What do you want to buy?"

“Buy a tricycle”

Before Zhou Xianrui finished speaking, Zhou Yan walked in. She was a little surprised to see the people in the room, so she asked, "What are you doing? Why are you all together?"

Zhou Fengnian pointed at Zhou Yan and said, "It's just right, your third aunt is here, talk to her."

Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui quickly turned their heads to look at Zhou Yan and pleaded, "Aunt San, we want to borrow some industrial coupons to buy a tricycle."

"Tricycle? Why are you thinking of buying this? Don't you two already have bicycles?"

Zhou Yan asked as she walked towards the bedside table, which was where they kept their money.

After taking out the box of banknotes, Zhou Yan took out all the industrial coupons inside, handed them over and asked, "Are twenty-seven enough? If not, we can only wait until next month when your third uncle's industrial coupons come in."

They have more than twenty tickets every month, which they can never use.

"That's enough. Xianzhe and I also took some from home. Now we have enough to buy two tricycles."

Zhou Xianrui grinned immediately, his goal was achieved in an instant. He thought he had to go to Pigeon City to exchange for some industrial coupons.

"Thank you, Uncle San, thank you, Aunt San. When we make money, we will definitely honor you well."

After saying this, the two of them bowed, then hurriedly left the house with Zhou Xianyang.

After everyone left, Zhou Yan asked, "What have they been doing recently? I heard from my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law that they go out early and come back late, and sometimes they don't even come home."

"As for business, don't worry, they have semi-public status; and they are both very smart, they don't even walk at night."

The two nephews are increasingly interested in doing business, and it is no longer realistic to ask them to give up the business of roasting peanuts next year.

He could only find another business for his second brother, maybe opening a garment factory.

However, a garment factory with eight people is at most a tailor shop. When the time comes, we can buy a small production line to make do. With eight people plus my second sister-in-law, it will be barely enough.

After Zhou Fengnian finished talking about his two nephews, he said to Zhou Yan, "I may have to go on a business trip for a while. About ten days."

"Where?"

Zhou Fengnian said: "Amei, follow the leader on the mission above."

Zhou Yan was shocked when she heard this and asked quickly, "Why do you want to go to Amei? Will it be dangerous?"

"How could it be dangerous? I am with my leader this time, so my safety is guaranteed."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said, "I can't help it. Your husband is so amazing. He is now famous all over the world. People insisted on giving me the award."

“Still poor.”

Zhou Yan patted Zhou Fengnian and felt relieved when she heard that her husband was going with his leader.

At that time, many people wanted to go abroad, and most of them abandoned their families and children. Their Women's Federation handled three cases.

When Zhou Yan heard Zhou Fengnian say he was going to Amei, she immediately thought something wrong, but then she realized that Zhou Fengnian would never do such a thing.

Zhou Yan said reluctantly: "Then you should be careful outside. When are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving next week. Just help me pack two sets of clothes. Someone else will prepare the rest."

If he follows that leader, he will probably be accompanied by dozens of people, and everything will be arranged in place.

This kind of politics is more important than anything else, and Zhou Fengnian is not very willing to participate; however, they have just established diplomatic relations with Amei, and even if the leader agrees that he can not go, there will definitely be other people who will persuade him.

Zhou Feng was leaving on the seventh day of the New Year. Before leaving, he had to arrange the work in the department.

Zhou Yan didn't plan to tell anyone about her business trip. It would only take about ten days, so there was nothing to worry about.

The next day, when Zhou Fengnian went to the ministry to work, a leader's secretary came to see him and informed him of the departure time, the clothes he needed to prepare, and the travel discipline.

Just as Zhou Fengnian thought, he didn't need to bring anything except two sets of clothes, and he had to check before departure, and the other accompanying personnel would be ready.

When Zhou Fengnian arrived in Amei, in addition to following the team, he also had two and a half official matters to attend to.
