Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 272 The Rapid Development of the Zhou Family (Subscription Request)

After getting the business license, Zhou Weitian returned home and said to his wife Qu Ying: "Now that the business license is in place, you should also prepare to apply for a leave of absence, or sell the position to someone else and come to the restaurant to help me."

"It's done already? It's only been one morning, it's too fast."

Qu Ying was surprised. After taking the business license and looking through it, she believed that her man had already done the job.

But thinking about the suspension, Qu Ying said hesitantly: "Boss, how about I continue to work first? If your restaurant doesn't work out, I have a job as a way out."

"Go away, go away! I haven't even started yet and you're already saying you can't do it. Can you please say something auspicious?"

Zhou Weitian seized the opportunity to scold him for a while, then said: "Even if you don't believe me, can you not believe my third brother? In all these years, when has my third brother missed me?
Do you think that Third Brother gave me and Second Brother hundreds of thousands of dollars just to see us lose money?"

"There's something I haven't told you. My son and Xianrui followed the advice of the third brother and started to deal in snacks. Guess how much money they've made?"

Qu Ying was stunned after hearing this, remembering that his son had been going out early and coming back late in the past six months. When he asked him, he said that he was busy with Xianrui and Xianyang, but he didn't know how much he earned.

"How much did you earn?"

After seeing this, Zhou Weitian made a six gesture.

Qu Ying was surprised and asked, "Earned 600? These two guys earned so much."

"Can you be bolder? If you make 600, is it worth it for the second brother to keep complaining that his job was taken away? He made 6,000!"

Zhou Weitian snorted, feeling a little proud at the same time. If he hadn't seen his son becoming more and more successful day by day, he wouldn't have been so anxious.

As a father, you can't be worse than your son. His son has earned almost as much as their family's savings of ten years in just half a year.

Qu Ying was shocked after hearing this, and it took him more than ten seconds to recover. He quickly said, "Zhou Weitian, why didn't you tell me that your son earns so much? You are getting bolder and bolder."

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss. I'm telling you, you're definitely going to ask your son for money. Don't worry about it, let them deal with it."

After Zhou Weitian finished speaking, he saw that Qu Ying was still about to shout, so he added, "This is also what the third brother meant."

After hearing Zhou Fengnian, Qu Ying stopped talking.

Although each family manages their own accounts, as long as the third brother speaks, the whole family basically has to listen.

"Let the children start their own business. All the money we earn will be saved for them in the future. What's the point of you taking it now?"

Zhou Weitian rarely showed the courage of the head of the family and said to Qu Ying, "Go and apply for suspension tomorrow, and then come to the hotel to help me."

".Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go and apply for suspension tomorrow."

But just after she finished speaking, Qu Ying regretted that she had spoken too early, so she pushed Zhou Weitian and said, "Boss, how about I give up my workstation? The cousin who helped us before, the one who came to me to borrow money.
Their family is in a difficult situation recently. Can you give them my job? It's not for nothing. Let them give us five dollars a month, enough to make up to two hundred."

This is no different from getting a job for free. The money paid each month is less, and the total amount is also less. Now the starting salary for a formal job is eight hundred, one thousand, and the salary for a job like the First Electrical Appliance Factory, which can still make money, is even higher.

Zhou Weitian also thought of his wife's cousin. Some time ago, an elderly person in his family fell ill, so he borrowed fifty yuan from them. Even longer ago, when the Zhou family was still in financial difficulty, he had sent food to their family.

He's a nice guy, an honest person like him.

"Okay, you decide. I can't let my job go. No one has my skills. You call the commune and I'll go to the store to sort it out first."

After Zhou Weitian finished speaking, he set off to go check out the hotel. He had already found a decoration team and could start work immediately.

"I'll have to go to the street office to recruit a few people later, four in the kitchen and four in the front. You'll be in charge of the front and I'll be in charge of the kitchen."

Zhou Weitian has to ask his apprentices if they want to work with him. If they do, he will pay them 150 yuan a month, and if business is good, the salary will increase slowly.

Now in the cafeteria of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory, except for him, the highest salary is only more than 50 yuan.

The factory cooks’ grade was stuck at that level, and their salary could not be increased no matter how good their skills were. So Zhou Weitian still took the position of deputy director of the canteen, and only got that much money with the subsidies.

Zhou Weitian has accepted many apprentices in recent years. Before he became the canteen director, he accepted four apprentices, and later he accepted three more apprentices.

They have all learned well and have a 70% foundation from him. When the restaurant expands in the future, these apprentices will become his kitchen team.

After leaving home, Zhou Weitian went to the street office and found the director to talk about the recruitment matter.

If you want to find workers at this time, you cannot do it privately, you must register with the street office.

When the director of the street office saw that Zhou Weitian was recruiting workers, he initially thought he was from a factory. Later, when he saw his business license, he realized that he was a self-employed individual.

".Zhou Weitian, you and Zhou Jiaan are brothers, right? You are really good. You got your business license as soon as the policy was issued."

The director of the subdistrict office sighed and said that the efficiency was really high, and both brothers were self-employed, so there must be someone behind them directing them.

But this has nothing to do with him. It would be nice to be able to arrange a few more employment indicators for him. Even if it is in a private restaurant, it is better than wandering around the streets doing nothing all day.

"Let me register you. Tell me your requirements and salary. I also have to remind you that even if it is a private restaurant, you cannot oppress workers."

"Look at what you said. We are just workers. We can't do that!"

Zhou Weitian said quickly: "My requirements are not high. I just need to be a waiter in a restaurant. I just need to be able to read and have a good temper. I don't need to be rude to customers. I'll give you 70 yuan as salary."

"Seventy? That's a lot. It's the same as your brother. Okay, the request is really not high. I'll write it down for you and arrange it for you in two days."

The director of the street office was surprised when he heard the salary. Seventy yuan was almost the income of a sixth-level worker. He didn't expect Zhou Weitian to pay so much to the waiters.

If it can be guaranteed all the time, even if it's only for two or three years, it would be great.

Zhou Jiaan who just came also offered such a high salary. It seems that the two brothers had discussed it beforehand.

There are twelve work targets in total, but it’s a pity that they are private and not as guaranteed as a stable job.

But the salary is high, so there will definitely be people willing to sign up; now there are more and more unemployed young people, so it is good enough to have a job. If you plan to wait for a formal job, you may have to wait for four or five years before you can get one.

Zhou Weitian registered four positions for his apprentice. He had full confidence in his apprentice to come, and he offered a high salary and a guarantee that he could continue working there. If he didn't come this time, he would definitely have no chance in the future.

------

Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Zhou Fengnian asked Wang Mingjie to notify the main leaders and hold a small meeting.

There are some things that he cannot decide on alone, but there is no need to summon all the cadres, so he just calls the main leaders to meet, discuss and finalize.

After Gu Wenjie, Luo Yifeng and Sun Gongran arrived, Zhou Fengnian did not say anything extra. He directly took out a few photocopied documents, handed them over and said, "This is the financial report of Shenzhou Computer Factory last month. I think we should separate the fifth technical department and the integrated circuit workshop and set up a semiconductor research and manufacturing center."

In the future, the domestic demand for semiconductor chips will become higher and higher. If they are not separated, the Shenzhou Computer Factory will become more and more bloated, and now they can no longer expand.

"Based on current production demand, it may double every two years in the future. Expansion is necessary, but it is too difficult to expand in the Shenzhou Computer Factory, so it is best to separate it and develop it independently."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he glanced at the three people and continued, "What do you think? If you have no objection, then we can divest it in the name of the department."

After listening to Zhou Fengnian's words, Gu Wenjie and Luo Yifeng nodded in agreement.

Deputy leader Sun Gongran had no objection in his mind. Although he was very unhappy about Zhou Fengnian and the other two forming a clique, he also saw what kind of person Zhou Fengnian was during this period of time.

The only thing in mind is development, everything else is secondary.

If someone tried to stop him from developing production, then he would definitely be his enemy, but if he didn't try to stop him, then Zhou Fengnian wouldn't care.

After the other two agreed, Sun Gongran also said, "I agree, too. Let's handle it according to your opinion, Comrade Fengnian."

"Okay, then I'll prepare a plan and have you sign it when it's ready. We should work according to this efficiency in the future. It would be great if the people below could do the same."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile, and then he remembered something: "The paging station is ready, and the pager will be released soon, probably at the end of next month.

I don't have time to go, who among you is willing to stand on the platform when the time comes?"

Pagers may not seem to have much technological content, but they have been popular for at least seven or eight years.

As a transitional product for wireless communications, it is a perfect fit and can also help save money.

"Comrade Fengnian, even if you have time, you probably won't bother to go."

Luo Yifeng smiled and said, "I don't have much time either, why don't Comrade Wenjie go?"

Sun Gongran on the side really wanted to go, but Gu Wenjie agreed directly, so he had no chance.

Zhou Fengnian took out another document and said, "There is also a branch of Shenzhou Computer. I think we can build one in Shanghai and one in Guangdong."

After reading it, Gu Wenjie asked, "Can the finances afford to build two branches at once? I remember the computer factory is still subsidizing sales."

Just from subsidizing computers for 26 universities and 53 high schools, the Shenzhou Computer Factory suffered a huge loss.

Moreover, the subsidies are still continuing, there are high worker benefits, and the distribution of tube-shaped buildings will be implemented in the next few years. Gu Wenjie is really afraid that the finances of the Shenzhou Computer Factory will collapse.

This is a jewel in the crown of their Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. If it collapses, they will all be responsible.

Zhou Fengnian comforted him, "Don't worry, we will produce new products by the end of the year. This time it will be absolutely different from the past, and we will definitely get some funds back by then."

He would not let Shenzhou Computer collapse, so he cares about it the most.

Moreover, the Shenzhou Computer Factory has Yan Zhengzhi, a member of the academic department, to lead the charge, and technical problems can be solved from him at any time.

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile: "The fourth generation of Shenzhou personal computers will definitely surprise you."

Foreign countries are imitating at a very fast pace, and the imitation computers they produce are almost catching up with the third-generation Shenzhou personal computers.

But after the fourth generation of Shenzhou computers came out, Xiao Rizi and Amei's computers were still garbage.

Once their ultra-thin monitors and portable laptops are manufactured, they will surely trigger another craze.

In the two countries of Xiaorizi and Ame, there are already companies that specialize in importing and selling Shenzhou computers. They have completely given up their own research and development and just import and resell.

We have also signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Shenzhou Computer Factory and have priority wholesale rights.

It is precisely because of the emergence of these Japanese and American traitors that Shenzhou computers can sell so well in these two countries.

If the production capacity had not reached its limit, Shenzhou Computer would have sold even more; it recruited more workers every year, but the computers it produced were still not enough for the foreigners to share.

Even domestic purchasing demand is increasing, but if domestic purchases are made, Shenzhou Computer will have to lose money to subsidize them, otherwise most companies cannot afford it.

This decision was implemented by Zhou Fengnian alone. He was determined to allow most schools and units in the country to use computers even if it meant losing money.

Otherwise, their computer industry would not be able to develop. Zhou Fengnian has further plans for the future.

After a busy day, when it was completely dark, Zhou Fengnian rubbed his head and prepared to go home after get off work.

The deputy leader has more things to deal with than the factory director. There is no time to relax at work, and he has to work overtime for two or three hours every day to finish the day's tasks.

Otherwise it will have to be delayed until the next day, but many things cannot be delayed. If he delays it for one day, it may be delayed for three days if he passes it down.

Each level takes longer than the previous one.

When Wang Mingjie saw Zhou Fengnian coming out with a briefcase, he stood up and asked, "Leader, are you going back? I'll notify the driver for you."

"Well, you should go back and rest early, Mingjie, don't stay up too late."

"Okay, I'll take care of it and then go home."

After Wang Mingjie called the driver, he also started to clean up.

Zhou Fengnian left first. After he went downstairs, Zhao Qiang just drove the car to the entrance of the building. Zhou Fengnian walked forward, opened the car door and got in.

It took less than ten minutes to get home by car. There is no such thing as traffic jam in the city nowadays. After dark, there are fewer cars on the street.

After arriving home, it was Gong Lin who opened the door for him. However, just as Zhou Fengnian asked if there was any dinner, Zhou Weitian came out from the backyard and said, "Third brother, there must be some since you're back. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother? Why are you two here?"

Zhou Fengnian asked in surprise: "What happened to the business?"

"No, I just want to start work tomorrow and come to tell you."

Zhou Weitian took Zhou Fengnian's briefcase and asked with a smile, "Fengnian, do you want to go and see it tomorrow?"

Zhou Fengnian thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Tomorrow, there may not be much time, but you can go and call Xianyang and ask him to bring his college classmates to support you."
