Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 285 Give Him a Chance (Subscription Request)
"Uncle, if something like this happens in the future, just call the police. We are not breaking the law, so we don't have to be afraid of anything."

Although Zhou Xianyang didn't want to use his father's reputation, he had been persuading his uncle Zhou Weitian to use it. And it must be said that sometimes his father's reputation was quite useful.

At other times, I would probably be questioned for a long time, but now I just need to confirm their identities and hand them over to that group of thugs directly.

Now that we have found out how many candies they snatched when they were young, we will probably deal with it quickly. In half a month, we won’t see them in this city anymore.

He just happened to be sent to labor camp together with a group of corrupt officials who were arrested and imprisoned.

"Don't worry, I know. I didn't know that the third brother's name was so useful before. If I had known, I would have used it a long time ago."

Zhou Weitian smiled and said, "Xianyang, I'm going back first. I'll come to eat at uncle's place next time."

"Okay, uncle, I'm going back too."

After saying goodbye, Zhou Xianyang went back to school. In the afternoon, he had to go to government agencies to promote the production of their official website.

Since it is difficult to convince other universities, we can only start with those government agencies with loose finances.

Anyone who owns more than ten computers is considered to be financially well-off; and once Zhou Xianyang goes there, he will know how likely he is to succeed.

For units that buy computers but seldom use them, there is a high possibility that they want to save face, so for the sake of face, they will definitely be willing to create a company official website.

After get off work, two security guards came to Zhou Fengnian's home to protect his wife and daughter.

This was already considered excessive, as Zhou Fengnian's level only allowed him to have his own security guard.

Although they were all caught in one fell swoop, there is no collective responsibility system now. The family members of the criminals will definitely not be implicated and imprisoned. In case an extreme person among them
Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible.

After Zhou Fengnian told Zhou Yan about this, he specifically told her to pick up and drop off her daughters from school in the future and not to let the two girls come back by themselves after school.

This way, with security guards following us, it is safe.

Zhou Yan sighed and said, "I feel like a lot of things have happened at the same time recently."

"With the big policy changes, there will definitely be more and more things to happen. This is just the beginning, and there will be more in the future."

Zhou Fengnian patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder and consoled her: "It will only take a few months to clean up that group of people, and then everything will be fine."

The impact of foreign culture has already begun. Just by introducing a few movies and TV series, young people on the street have learned to imitate them. This impact will only intensify in the future.

Zhou Fengnian suddenly thought that it would be a pity to sell most of the state-owned factories at a low price in the future; now that the domestic chip industry is developing so well, it is entirely possible to upgrade the electrical appliances and then export them on a large scale.

The Four Asian Tigers?
By the time China opens its exports, the Four Asian Tigers will no longer exist; with their technological superiority and low labor costs, the only thing that can sanction them is tariffs.

But there is one good thing, which is that it promotes the development of public-private partnerships.

It’s hard to sell public items to the public, but they’re still quite popular privately.

This is also beneficial to Zhou Weitian and Zhou Jiaan. It is easy for them to apply for permits, which will make it much more convenient to buy unplanned production.

It is also beneficial to the development of the factory, as greedy cadres will have their profit-making channels cut off and unplanned materials will also be recorded.

Li Huaide from the Third Steel Rolling Mill was almost implicated

Li Huaide was really scared at the time, but fortunately he was determined to move up and had hope for promotion, so he didn't do these unscrupulous things.

Although Li Huaide did not participate, he was still criticized for negligence in management.

He could have been promoted after the new year. With his management experience over the past decade, he had developed the Third Steel Rolling Mill into a major fine steel export company and was eligible for promotion to the position of director general in the Ministry of Metallurgy.

Now that it’s gone, the promotion will be delayed for at least a year and a half.

However, in Zhou Fengnian's opinion, Li Huaide has changed the trajectory of his life; if it weren't for his interference, Li Huaide would have been driven out of office long ago and would have been forced to go into business as a swindler.

Now he still has hope of promotion and moving up one step further.

At this time, one could become an official, but only a fool would go into business; Zhou Fengnian advised his eldest and second brothers only when he saw that they had no hope of promotion.

Li Huaide came to see Zhou Fengnian because he wanted him to give some advice on the subsequent industrial upgrading of the steel rolling mill, and he also brought a can of ginseng and deer antler wine for this purpose.

Zhou Fengnian neither agreed nor refused, he just accepted the wine first; this thing was quite rare, and the key was that the brewing technique was good, which Zhou Fengnian could easily see with his keen eyesight.

As for giving Li Huaide some ideas, that doesn't matter. It would be a waste if he didn't speak out the technology in his mind. His metallurgy and steelmaking skills have been upgraded to level eight after all.

As for mechanical design, he had not participated in mechanical design and manufacturing for a long time after leaving the machine tool factory, so it would be a bit of a waste if he didn't use the ninth-level skill.

However, technological upgrading is only a minor change. The most important thing is the upgrading of industrial structure. After Zhou Fengnian received the ginseng and deer antler wine that day, he and Li Huaide began to talk about the structural development of the steel industry.

Li Huaide is now considered a technical factory manager. Having been in charge of production for more than ten years, he is well versed in the industrial technologies of steelmaking and steel rolling.

Moreover, he has a very high prestige in the factory, and even the secretary has to avoid him.

At first, when Li Huaide listened to Zhou Fengnian talking about the structure of the steel industry, he was a little casual, but he became more serious the more he listened.

Finally, I asked for a pen and a notebook and started taking notes as I listened, just like an elementary school student listening to his teacher's lecture.

After listening to it, Li Huaide suddenly felt enlightened, as if he knew how to adjust and develop next.

"Fengnian, your understanding of the metallurgical industry is even clearer than my father-in-law's. Many of the things you said today were also told to me by my father-in-law before, but not as clearly as you said."

Li Huaide said with admiration that this time his praise was not flattery at all, it was all from the heart.

As for the address, Li Huaide originally called him Deputy Leader Zhou when he entered the room, but Zhou Fengnian asked him to just call him by his previous address.

After all, they have known each other for more than ten years. During this period, Li Huaide often visited Zhou Fengnian to give gifts to maintain the relationship. Zhou Fengnian is not so unkind. "This is not a deep understanding. Just refer to the development of the foreign steel industry and combine it with our domestic metallurgical environment. As for the technical upgrade, I will take time to think about it. After all, I also came from the First Ministry of Machine Building."

Zhou Fengnian said, "But you are still the director of the steel mill. Even if you do it, it will be a small one. You can treat the steel mill as a pilot project. If you really want to do something big, you should wait until you get to the Ministry of Metallurgy.
It's a pity this time, you could have been promoted earlier."

"Who says it's not true? I've been doing pretty well these past two years and I've neglected the management of the factory, otherwise I'd be in trouble now!"

Li Huaide said regretfully that if it was a year or two late, no one knew what problems would arise; he was just unsure and his father-in-law couldn't help him, so he came to Zhou Fengnian.

Fortunately, Zhou Fengnian gave him hope, industrial structure upgrade, technology optimization upgrade; first do these two things well in the steel rolling mill, and then be promoted to the Ministry of Metallurgy after some achievements, and then propose the national metallurgical industry structure upgrade.
When Li Huaide thought of this scene, he felt a surge of energy in his body. He was only in his forties and still young.

His father-in-law is indeed a bit old, but for the sake of the family, he can at least hold on for another ten years and retire after he has secured the position of director of a ministry.

While the two were chatting, Zhou Yan suddenly knocked on the door and said outside: "Fengnian, the meal is ready, why don't you eat first?"

Li Huaide looked at the sky outside and said in surprise: "It's so late, I should go back, Fengnian, I won't bother you today."

Zhou Fengnian said, "Leave a piece for yourself, the meal is ready."

"No, no, I have to go back today. To be honest, I want to discuss what you told me with my father-in-law."

Li Huaide waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm really not being polite, Fengnian, come to my house another day. My father-in-law has long said that he would treat you to a meal, but I never got the chance."

"Okay, then I won't keep you here today. We'll meet again another day."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile that Li Huaide's father-in-law is also a good helper and might be able to help him at the conference in the future.

Now it is near the end of the year.

Zhou Fengnian also began to inspect the development of the departments and factories under his charge in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

The Shenzhou Computer Factory is still developing in fits and starts. A few years ago it was the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory. They have been exporting and earning over 100 million US dollars for almost ten consecutive years.

Chinese CNC machine tools have basically firmly occupied Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, and even small businesses import Chinese machine tools.

However, the development of China Machine Tool Factory has temporarily reached a bottleneck. After all, there are many countries competing for this business.

However, after Shenzhou Computer developed, it directly created a gap-free lead.

The production task of more than 200 million to 300 million US dollars at the beginning of the year has been completed, and there is still an export task of more than 300 million US dollars next year.

In the high-end computer market, ComputerChina is the undisputed leader. With a total market value of more than one billion worldwide, ComputerChina occupies almost one-fifth of it.

Next year or the year after, after the Shenzhou Computer branch in Shenzhen is established, production can be further expanded.

Now, even if the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building has messed up all the other factories, as long as it has the trump card of the Shenzhou Computer Factory, it will still be the most outstanding ministry.

What's more, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building has been flourishing this year, the wireless communication factory is also developing rapidly, and it has also set up dozens of public telephone booths in the old city and become famous.

Not to mention the drone factory, we are now waiting for actual combat feedback from the south. If we can completely wipe out the southern monkeys on the border, that would be the best result.

Zhou Fengnian also plans to focus on upgrading electrical appliance technology. Their chip technology is so strong, there is no reason not to develop semi-smart home appliances.

Once all the technologies are upgraded, a large number of factories can be saved.

China is too big and there are too many workers. After thinking for a long time, Zhou Fengnian could only save a part of them.

If he could split himself into ten, most of them could be saved.

Whether a factory will go bankrupt or not still depends on its profitability. According to the current operating conditions of the Shenzhou Computer Factory, not only will it not go bankrupt, but it will occupy more than 40% of the global market within ten years.

At that time, there will be only two computer brands: Shenzhou Computer and non-Shenzhou Computer.

With technological upgrades and greater market competitiveness, we can continuously absorb foreign blood to feed domestic workers.

Zhou Fengnian has been perfecting his idea before the New Year and is preparing to put it forward next year.

Zhou Xianyang’s first stop was the Sijiu City Government.

He had applied in advance before coming and was allowed in after waiting for a while.

After meeting the director of the General Office, Zhou Xianyang smiled and said, "Hello, Director Liu. I am Zhou Xianyang, a sophomore student at the School of Computer Science at Tsinghua University."

Director Liu nodded and asked, "Hello, Comrade Zhou Xianyang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The young man in front of him was full of energy and vigor. Just by looking at him, one could feel the youthful vigor and vitality. Director Liu had a good impression of him in all aspects, so he was willing to give Zhou Xianyang a chance.

As long as it's not too much, he's willing to listen.

"That's right, Director Liu. I'm here to build a website for the government of Sijiu City. In the future, government affairs will rely more on computers, and the Internet site is a window to display the government affairs of the unit."

Zhou Xianyang explained in detail, and then seeing that Director Liu seemed to understand, he continued, "Seeing is believing, Director Liu, our team has already built a website for the School of Computer Science at Tsinghua University.

Do you have an internet-connected computer here? I'll show you one. By the way, this is the certificate our dean gave us. Please have a look."

"Oh, it really is opened by your dean."

After Director Liu took it and read it, he began to take what Zhou Xianyang said a little more seriously.

The dean of the School of Computer Science, whose rank is no lower than his, also issued an official seal to certify it, which is a guarantee.

"Okay, then I'll find you a computer and show it to me."
