Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 289 Zhou Fengnian turns against me (Subscribe)
After being reminded of this, Zhou Fengnian quickly remembered this matter.

At that time, he thought that the brainless guy had proposed it and was asking for a scolding, but considering his face, Zhou Fengnian did not give any particularly unpleasant reply.

I just wrote three heavy "disagrees" and hoped that person would understand.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hai not only didn’t understand, but also brought You Lijun to try to persuade him?

"Director Wang Hai, I remember now that I rejected this plan. Even now, I can still repeat it to you, but no!"

Zhou Fengnian said slowly that he is no longer the young man he used to be. Although he gets angry when encountering such things, at least he can control his emotions.

"The photolithography process has only started in the last few decades. We lagged behind foreign countries by about ten years, but later we caught up and left them far behind to become the world's number one.

Now and in the future, many industrial developments are inseparable from advanced photolithography technology. Being one step ahead can drive many industries to take the lead and impose a technological blockade on foreign countries."

Zhou Fengnian explained a lot, and after such a long talk, he felt a little thirsty.

After a pause, Zhou Fengnian continued, "So it is impossible to sell lithography technology to foreign countries. Don't even think about it."

You Lijun and Wang Hai were stunned after hearing this. The former did not expect Zhou Fengnian to be so determined, as if there was no room for negotiation.

The latter was a little anxious, as this foreign trade plan involved more than a dozen US dollars or even more. If he could pull it off, it would be a great political achievement.

Thinking of this, Wang Hai couldn't help but say: "Deputy Leader Zhou, the exchanged technology and equipment are also good for us. We couldn't buy them before, and they can promote and improve national construction."

"Director Wang Hai, it seems that you didn't understand what I just said. I'm telling you one last time. Photolithography technology can affect future development."

Zhou Fengnian was already a little impatient, but he suppressed his anger and said: "The foreigners are not that stupid, they won't let you take advantage. You think you are taking advantage, but in fact they make more money."

"Leader Zhou, this is not just about technology exchange. We also have to consider the friendship between our two countries."

Bang!
"I use you to guide me? Wang Hai, who are you? "

The third time, Zhou Fengnian finally couldn't hold back his anger and slammed the table.

A level 12 director is now talking to him about technology and relations between the two countries. Does he think he can't see through Wang Hai's little tricks?
"Should I take a class with you next to learn about technology development? You are teaching me now?
I can tell you that even if the leader asked me about this plan, I would say three words: I don’t agree!”

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and said, "I'm busy today, so go back where you came from!"

These words were already very impolite, not only directed at Director Wang Hai, but also at You Lijun.

He brought a director with him and asked him to lecture him without any resistance. Zhou Fengnian had a bad temper and would talk back to his leader when he got angry.

You Lijun looked a little unhappy, but he still forced a smile and said, "Comrade Fengnian, this is a little misunderstanding. There may be something between us..."

Zhou Fengnian interrupted and said, "That's impossible. Comrade You Lijun, do you want me to chase them away myself?"

"Well, I have learned a lesson about Commissioner Zhou's temper today."

You Lijun didn't expect Zhou Fengnian to give him such face, so he stood up and said without any hesitation.

"It's too late for you to learn from me. If I had known that this was your intention, I wouldn't have seen me today."

Zhou Fengnian didn't respond well and said, "What a waste of my good tea leaves! They're even giving me a lesson! Mingjie, let them leave!"

Zhou Fengnian even shouted to the outside. Now You Lijun and Wang Hai were in a dilemma and walked outside with anger.

Wang Mingjie followed behind and watched the two of them go downstairs and leave before returning to report to Zhou Fengnian: "Leader, they have already left in a car."

"Well, from now on, they are forbidden to come here. If they come to find me, just tell them to get lost!"

".I see."

It was the first time that Wang Mingjie saw Zhou Fengnian so angry, which really made him curious. How did these two people make Zhou Fengnian like this?

They all hold high positions, so even if they don't help each other, they will at least be polite to each other on the surface.

It's rare to see someone as direct infighting as Zhou Fengnian did.

After Wang Mingjie left, Zhou Fengnian was still a little worried that these two idiots would go to the leader, so he began to write about the impact of the semiconductor industry on future development.

Zhou Fengnian described this report in great detail, even including all the industries involved.

If they lose their advantages in semiconductor and integrated circuit technology, current computers, CNC machine tools, automobiles, smart home appliances, etc. will all be affected.

The industries affected now may involve billions of dollars, and the damage in the future may be hundreds of billions or even more.

Just as Zhou Fengnian was completing the development report on semiconductor and integrated circuit technology, Gu Wenjie suddenly knocked on the door.

"Fengnian, did you just have an argument with You Lijun from the Foreign Trade Department?"

Gu Wenjie walked closer and took a look, then asked, "What are you writing?"

"You see, we just had an argument because of this, but that's not all. You Lijun asked his subordinate, I think his name is Wang Hai, to lecture me just now."

Zhou Fengnian snorted coldly and said, "I thought I couldn't see his little tricks, wanting to earn a great achievement for himself.
I plan to let my boss know that this technology will no longer be sold to other companies.”

"My comrade Fengnian, please don't say that."

Gu Wenjie said quickly that the tone of accusation made him go back to a few years ago. These things are prohibited now, and if he is caught in an argument, he will be in trouble.

Didn’t you see that even the leader was replaced last year because his thinking couldn’t keep up? Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to retire completely after working for only three or four years.

"But You Lijun and his team are planning to sell photolithography technology? What are they thinking? How can we possibly agree to such a thing?"

After reading it, Gu Wenjie immediately thought of refusing. This was the foundation of their Ministry of Machine Building. They earned hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange every year by relying on photolithography and integrated circuit technology.

Zhou Fengnian said: "They didn't say they were selling, but exchanging technology. It's likely that the foreigners opened up some of the Coordinating Committee's banned sales lists to them, which made them overjoyed.

I explained it to them twice, saying that it was the foundation for future development, but they just wouldn’t listen and even asked a director to give me a lecture.”

Gu Wenjie understood what Zhou Fengnian meant. He told them the importance of lithography machines, but the other party still refused to give in and asked a twelfth-level director to lecture Zhou Fengnian.

Honestly speaking, if it were him, Gu Wenjie himself would also be very angry. Zhou Fengnian's status as a substitute member is no worse than his position as a full-time member.

As a result, a subordinate was asked to reason with him. It would be fine if he was right, but the key point is that Zhou Fengnian told him the importance of lithography machines. If he still doesn't give up, that would be a bit unreasonable.

After Zhou Fengnian got the plan back, he continued, "It's okay if those two idiots don't understand the technology. I'll prepare a development report." "When you finish writing it, ask your secretary to send it to me and I'll sign it for you."

Gu Wenjie thought for a moment and continued, "Lao Luo can also sign his name."

The signatures of these three people almost represent the attitude of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, that replacing the lithography machine is not a thing that can be done.

Gu Wenjie had talked with Zhou Fengnian privately many times and knew Zhou Fengnian's thoughts. He believed that the future would definitely be an information industry revolution. Even the development direction of military warfare was related to information industry technology.

Photolithography is a very important part of it. We should maintain our lead if possible and block the outside world if possible.

They have worked hard to develop the photolithography technology and computer industry to what it is today. If they sell them to foreign countries, the advantages they have built up in the early stages will soon disappear.

Zhou Fengnian was busy until the evening, but he still hadn't finished writing the report on the development of photolithography technology, but it was time to go home.

After Zhou Fengnian packed up, he took a bus home.

It was already very late when he came back. He should have come back earlier and gone to the farmer's market with Zhou Yan to buy things, but when he got home it was already seven or eight o'clock and Zhou Yan and Gong Lin had already bought the things.

Seeing Zhou Fengnian coming back, Zhou Yan wanted to say something unhappily, but she noticed that Zhou Fengnian's face was not very good, so she asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Fengnian? Who did you quarrel with at work?"

"Nothing, two idiots are here to cause trouble. Have you bought everything? I'll buy the missing items tomorrow morning."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said that he seldom brought work matters home, one reason being that it was confidential and the other being that it was unnecessary.

Zhou Yan said: "I have already bought it, go and see if you need anything."

Zhou Fengnian went to look around and came back and said, "That should be enough. Sister Bai and her father are not particularly picky people."

"Then go to bed early. Xianyang didn't come back to rest today and insisted on waiting until tomorrow to get together."

Zhou Yan complained that Zhou Xianyang's schedule was fully booked recently with classes and website development, so he would only make time to date Bai Qing'an, which naturally reduced the number of times he went home.

"Fengnian, where do you think they will live after they get married?"

"Where to live? I guess they won't come back to live here. We don't have much space left at home, and it's not appropriate for them to live in a small house."

Zhou Fengnian thought for a moment, then said, "Let them move out. This guy is rich, and he can definitely buy a house if he wants.

There are private houses now, it just depends on how much they cost.”

There is a housing shortage in Beijing, and that is public housing. Private housing is still relatively abundant.

Many of the petty bourgeoisie who survived those years now own a property to a greater or lesser extent, and in recent years the number of people going abroad or to Hong Kong has been increasing.

Many people are planning to sell their property and leave. If you want to buy a house now, you will definitely find some information if you take the time to inquire around.

Zhou Yan immediately said unhappily: "How can you kick your children out just after they get married? How can you say that?"

"There are no big rooms in the house. We can't let our two daughters live in the small room in the front yard. It won't be suitable for them."

There are a few rooms in the front yard, which were previously used for security guards to live in. Later, after the rats were caught and the situation became less serious, the security guards who were protecting Zhou Yan withdrew. Now, only Gong Lin lives in the front yard.

"Let Zhou Yiyi and Zhou Linlin live in the back room. I'll find someone to clean it up later. Anyway, I don't agree to let them move out. It's not like we're splitting up the family."

Zhou Yan said that she still wanted to see her grandson, and it would be inconvenient if she lived away from home.

"Then my daughter will be wronged. Okay, okay, just make the arrangements."

Zhou Fengnian dotes on his daughter at home, but looking at her situation today, Zhou Yan would probably not be able to sleep if she doesn't agree, so he had to let his daughter down temporarily.

In fact, it was possible to convert it into his study, but apart from the west wing, there was no other place in the house to store so many of his books; and Zhou Fengnian often worked at home, so Zhou Yan did not mention this matter.

The two discussed for a while, with Zhou Yan basically doing all the talking, and then Zhou Fengnian nodded.

These are all small matters, and it doesn't matter what happens. Their family can solve all the problems that Zhou Yan is worried about, so there is no need to worry about them at all.

However, Zhou Fengnian reminded Zhou Yan that it would be better to discuss the young couple’s affairs with them, and they should not interfere too much.

His son is very opinionated and it's no use forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do.

The next morning, Zhou Fengnian was woken up by Zhou Yan. After breakfast, he was pushed into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Some dishes take a long time to prepare and need to be prepared in advance.

However, Zhou Fengnian was quite dissatisfied. As a father, he had not yet enjoyed his son's filial piety, but had to serve the younger generation first?
Zhou Xianyang came back early. When he saw Zhou Fengnian busy in the kitchen, he immediately walked in with a smile and said, "Dad, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "Alas, I was busy when I got married, and I was also busy when you got married. I am afraid that when I have a grandson, I will also be busy when he gets married."

"How is that possible, Dad? I'm not that kind of person."

Zhou Xianyang looked serious, but he didn't last two seconds before he said with a smile: "Then we will work together."

"Go away, go away, stay out and don't bother me here."

Zhou Fengnian quickly drove Zhou Xianyang away and then continued to work.

Zhou Fugui and his mother arrived before the morning. Today, the old couple were both wearing clean formal suits and had smiles on their faces.

Among the three grandsons, Zhou Xianyang was the first to get married. Although they were not old enough to get a marriage certificate, they were essentially married.

Many people in the village who are not yet of marriageable age have their marriage calculated by villagers as witnesses, and then apply for a marriage certificate when they reach the required age.

The old couple were so happy that Zhou Fugui even said he wanted to buy a set of furniture and a three-wheeler and a ring for his grandson.

Zhou Xianyang agreed with a smile. Although he had the money to buy it himself, he couldn't refuse his grandfather's kindness.

Besides, he also knew that his grandfather's family was not short of money, but it seemed that only his underage sister and cousin in his family had little money.

And they didn't have much money, but they had enough small changes, and each of them carried several dozen dollars with them.

Near noon, several people from the Bai family arrived at the Zhou family as scheduled.
