Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 278 Who is your father? (Subscribe)

Zhou Fengnian was eventually arrested. When Xiao Hua came, he and Gu Wenjie worked on Xiao Hua's behalf.

After all, being exiled from the old city to a small border town in the southernmost part of the country, there was nothing there except the reputation of a special zone.

It would be strange for a normal person to have no emotions in his heart, but when it comes to development, you can't be emotional.

How can development be achieved if those in charge of development are oppressive?

"Go, go to Shenzhen? Leaders, where is this place?"

Xiao Hua looked confused after hearing this. Although the name of Shenzhen appeared in the newspaper some time ago, it would be hard to tell if you didn't know Guangdong. After all, who would care about a town before?

Even though he had been to the Canton Fair several times, he didn't know where Shenzhen was.

"It's next to the Xiangjiang River. It will be our window to the outside world in the future, so we must develop it in advance."

Gu Wenjie said, "Comrade Xiao Hua, I have talked with several other leaders. You are the most hardworking person in the entire Shenzhou Computer Factory. You are the most suitable person to build a branch factory.

You have a big task ahead of you. You need to respond to the policy and promote the development of Shenzhen. You don’t have to travel back and forth after the Canton Fair, and it will also be convenient for exports.”

Although Deputy Director Xiao thought it was right after hearing it, he didn't want to go at all.

"Deputy Director Xiao, this is not only a processing plant, but also a research and development center will be built here in the future. The reason why the special zone is called a special zone is because it has national policy support."

Zhou Fengnian paused and continued, "If you don't want to, we will consider other people, and we will also consider personal wishes."

"No, no, I am willing to accept this mission, leaders!"

Xiao Hua quickly said that if one did not accept the assigned task at this time, there would basically be no career for him, and he would probably be recorded as a "deserter" in the file.

It’s just about developing in remote areas, he has done it before; if this is accomplished, what difficulty will there be in upgrading the administrative level?
Gu Wenjie smiled and said, "That's fine. You are the most suitable person in the entire factory. It's close to Hong Kong, so we will give you the power to do what you want. But if you are unsure, you must report to the department."

He then gave some further instructions before letting Xiao Hua leave.

After everyone left, Zhou Fengnian also said, "I'm leaving too. Lao Gu, I won't be in charge of what happens next. You can handle it yourself."

"You are in charge of the computer factory."

Before Gu Wenjie could finish his words, Zhou Fengnian had already left his office. Gu Wenjie couldn't help but shake his head at his hands-off attitude.

He suddenly felt that it would be a good thing if Zhou Fengnian was more power-conscious. At least he could take charge of things instead of throwing them all out.

After returning to his office, Zhou Fengnian found four new report documents on his desk that might require his immediate processing.

"I was gone for less than an hour."

Zhou Fengnian sighed, but since the matter had fallen on him, he had no choice but to deal with it.

After sitting down at his seat, Zhou Fengnian started to get busy. After a quick look, he found that three of the five things were reports from factories and departments, and only one was related to technology.

After reading it, Zhou Fengnian called Wang Mingjie in and said, "Mingjie, tell the technical department of the drone factory that I will be there this afternoon and will leave after dinner. Ask Zhao Qiang to get ready as well."

"I understand, Leader."

After Wang Mingjie left, Zhou Fengnian started working.

The wireless communications factory was making good progress; in just over a month, it had sold 30,000 pagers.

And after helping the telephone company improve its telephone exchange technology, it has now begun building public telephones.

In the past, telephone exchanges were not built because people did not want to incur extra expenses, but wireless communication companies did not have such concerns.

If public telephone booths cannot be built, the pagers most people buy will be useless.

Why buy it if it's so difficult to send a message? To make a call, you have to go to the telephone office.

Once all the public telephone booths are built and pagers are used frequently, sales will increase further.

The wireless communications factory is now training staff and is making preparations for development in Shanghai and other places.

"This type of communication technology is ultimately a transition, and we will have to develop the second generation of mobile communication technology in the near future."

Zhou Fengnian scratched his head. He also had to consider the economic level of the people. Otherwise, if most people could not afford the products developed, it would be equivalent to no development.

In addition, the Shenzhou Computer Factory plans to increase the wages of workers, ranging from 7 to 10 yuan per person on a basic basis.

It can be said that everyone's salary has been raised by one level. Although the workers at the Shenzhou Computer Factory earn a lot, much of it is earned by working overtime.

This year, the Shenzhou Computer Factory is working hard to earn foreign exchange again, and the factory has left many benefits, which are beyond the imagination of most factory leaders.

But from Liang Yongsheng and Ge Changzheng to the head of the Finance Department, no one dared to have any evil thoughts.

They knew that Zhou Fengnian was very concerned about the Shenzhou Computer Factory. When Zhou Fengnian was still in the factory, anyone who was found to be corrupt would be sent to prison without any mercy.

As a result, few people dared to have any bad thoughts. Zhou Fengnian's prestige that could shock hundreds of workers was not just the result of scolding people.

That was actually gained by using several cadres.

This year, after deducting the subsidy budget for buying computers in China, the budget for the welfare building, and the funds for the development of the factory, there is still a lot left. So Liang Yongsheng, the factory director, thought of increasing the salary of the workers. The minimum salary for regular workers in the factory is 38 yuan, and after this increase, it can be raised to at least 45 yuan.

This can be considered a major move to provide benefits to workers, but other factories will be slapped in the face when they find out.

Most other factories are cutting wages, delaying wages, or lowering wages, but the Shenzhou Computer Factory is raising wages. In comparison, those factory managers are feeling very ashamed.

After the salary increase, if the workers in front-line production work overtime, they can get an average salary of 70 to 80 yuan.

In 1980, this salary level was definitely high, and only a few factories in the country could reach this level.

Zhou Fengnian had no objection to this. With the ability of Shenzhou Computer Factory to earn foreign exchange, it was time to raise the workers' wages long ago.

If he had left just after the reform and opening up, and many policies had not been implemented, he would have proposed a salary increase himself.

After reading the opinions of Liang Yongsheng and the archives committee of Shenzhou Computer Factory, Zhou Fengnian wrote down his agreement without much hesitation.

Then he put it aside and prepared to talk about it at the ministry meeting.

The foreign exchange earned by the Shenzhou Computer Factory alone was not enough, and it only benefited more than 10,000 workers' families, or at most 40,000 to 50,000 people.

But he is extremely busy now, and setting up factories and achieving common prosperity within the system is too complicated and there are too many things to do.

Zhou Fengnian might as well urge his two brothers to take better care of the employees.

Now Zhou Weitian's restaurant and Zhou Jiaan's garment factory pay their employees a salary of more than 70 yuan, and many people are envious when the news spreads.

Moreover, by paying employees such high salaries, they still have something to earn, and a lot of it.

"Qingan!"

When Zhou Xianyang saw the people from the art troupe rushing out, he quickly found the most beautiful girl in the crowd and called out to her loudly.

When Bai Qing'an heard Zhou Xianyang calling her, she turned around and saw Zhou Xianyang, and immediately ran over with a smile on her face.

But when he got closer, he put his hands on his hips and frowned and asked, "Okay, Xianyang, now you don't even call me Sister Qing'an. Have you forgotten who took you out to play when you were a child?"

"Let's not talk about our childhood. Our relationship has changed now. Of course I can't call you sister anymore!"

Zhou Xianyang shook his head and a smile appeared on his face.

The relationship progressed rapidly. A few days ago, Zhou Xianyang invited Bai Qing'an to watch a movie. After coming out of the cinema, Zhou Xianyang boldly held Bai Qing'an's hand. The latter blushed and lowered his head, but did not resist.

After the two walked hand in hand for a distance, Zhou Xianyang rode his bike to take Bai Qingan back.

Although Bai Qingan is four or five years older than Zhou Xianyang, the latter doesn't feel bad at all.

"The relationship hasn't changed. I haven't agreed yet. And even if I agree, we haven't gotten married yet."

When she said the latter sentence, Bai Qing'an looked shy again, but her personality was more cheerful than the other girls, and she was too familiar with Zhou Xianyang, so she said it naturally.

"I still have to wait for more than two years to get married. It's hard to change my age now, but Qing'an, you have to wait for me for two years."

Zhou Xianyang quickly assured: "I will definitely marry you in two years!"

"Others are already married, but I still have to wait two years"

Although Bai Qingan said this unhappily, he still sat on the back seat of Zhou Xianyang's bicycle, then stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Xianyang: "If you dare to regret it, I will go to my grandfather, he is not afraid of Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Xianyang gasped and hissed, then said, "My dad will definitely not stand on my side. He might beat me up together with your grandpa."

"Qingan..."

The young couple was flirting fiercely when suddenly someone called out Bai Qingan's name.

The two turned around at the same time and saw a man with an angry look on his face, staring at Zhou Xianyang.

He walked directly towards Zhou Xianyang, and then asked in a cold voice: "Qing'an, who is this kid?"

Bai Qingan frowned and said, "Dong Junkai, he is my boyfriend, and I told you not to call me by my name, I don't know you well."

"Qing'an, your family will definitely not agree with you dating an ordinary person"

"Stop talking nonsense. My grandpa said that I make my own decisions. He will never agree with what your father said, and my mother won't agree either!"

Bai Qing'an said bluntly that her mother moved out and didn't go home for several years in order to resist her grandfather's arranged marriage, and finally wore out her grandfather's temper.

How could this happen to her again now?

Dong Junkai was exposed by Bai Qingan without hesitation, and immediately felt humiliated, so he looked at Zhou Xianyang angrily and said, "Boy, I warn you, you'd better be sensible, otherwise no matter where you work, I can..."

"Comrade, I don't like talking about my father, but I have to deal with people like you without taking any action. It seems that there is no other way."

Zhou Xianyang sighed, and then continued, "My father is Zhou Fengnian, deputy leader of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, alternate member, and member of the Academy of Sciences. So who is your father?"
