Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 297: Newspaper Confrontation (Subscription Request)

"Reward? What kind of reward do you want? Didn't I ask you to come here to learn?"

Zhou Xianyang immediately said after hearing this: "No, we are here to help."

Zhou Fengnian laughed and continued, "Okay, since this is a business matter, I will settle the matter with you without hesitation.

Most of the construction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website was done by the people in the third technical department of Shenzhou Computer Factory. You and five other students helped for a total of 4 hours. According to the ratio of manpower and labor, it should be %, right? "

Zhou Xianyang originally wanted to calculate more for himself, but Zhou Fengnian’s data was too detailed, even listing in detail what they had done.

After the final calculation, excluding the money they spent on meals, they earned a total of eighteen dollars.

After Zhou Fengnian finished the calculation, he took out two big unity notes and handed them over: "Give me two dollars in change."

"Dad, it's too much to charge for lunch."

Zhou Xianyang complained as he was looking for money, but Zhou Fengnian took the money and said, "Be content, I'll still give you the internal worker price. Can other people eat so cheaply?"

Eighteen yuan was enough for them to have a meal together, and Zhou Xianyang was just joking with his father, so he took the money and asked about other things.
“Dad, can we make a website?”

Zhou Fengnian turned around and asked, "Why do you run a website?"

"I think the quick search function you taught me last time is very convenient. Some classmates said that it is too troublesome to go to the library to find books. If we can set up an online library, it will be more convenient in the future."

Before Zhou Xianyang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Fengnian.

"No, forget it. Only government-run companies can afford to run computer websites now, and that's even with the Shenzhou Computer Factory offering a big discount.

Even if you buy it at cost price, it will cost more than a thousand dollars per computer. And how many books can a personal computer store? How many personal computers do you want to buy?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xianyang turned his head to look at the newly built Internet host center and asked, "Can't we use this?"

"This is for public use. Which public company are you? Forget it. The cost is too high for you to afford. And don't you think about how many computers there are in the country now?"

Zhou Fengnian dissuaded Zhou Xianyang from this idea. It was a good idea, but the environment did not allow it.

The number of computers in the country did not exceed 10,000, most of which were concentrated in northern China, with a small number concentrated in Shanghai and Zhejiang.

Currently, only the four-nine cities have just opened up website interconnection, and other places are still computer deserts.

It will take another ten years before commercial Internet websites appear in China.

Zhou Xianyang may have heard a lot about the future development of the Internet from him, but he did not have his own judgment and was a bit taken for granted.

In the end, Zhou Xianyang returned disappointed, took the money and invited his classmates to have dinner at his uncle's restaurant. After the meal, he did not forget to bring a portion for Bai Qing'an. After packing the lunch box, he pedaled his bicycle hard to deliver it to Bai Qing'an.

The first external website built by Zhou Fengnian was said to be for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in fact it was shared by many departments.

This is their window to the outside world. They post things they want to announce on it. There is no translation function now, so one version is published in Chinese and one in English.

Each department has two publishing accounts, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may use them the most.

How to teach them how to use it afterwards was the responsibility of the Third Technical Department of Shenzhou Computer Factory. After Zhou Fengnian had nothing to do, he returned to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

The environment in Beijing is much better now. Even street urchins dare not go out on the streets at will, for fear of being labeled as hooligans or bad guys and then arrested.

As the environment improved, Zhou Weitian and Zhou Jiaan's business became easier. After Zhou Weitian's second restaurant opened, the number of individual business owners suddenly increased.

The newspapers have promoted self-employed individuals and individual economies many times. There are quite a few people who dare to take the plunge, and within two months, hundreds of self-employed individuals emerged.

Zhou Yan's younger brother Zhou Hao is also bold. He has had poor academic performance since childhood and has been a wanderer in the alleys since he was in his early teens. He is definitely not used to working honestly to earn a salary.

It's hard to have a stable job these days, let alone the Shenzhou Computer Factory, a welfare factory where even warehouse managers get salary increases.

In other factories, a warehouse manager would earn at most twenty-five or twenty-six per month, but at the Shenzhou Computer Factory, the salary could be forty-three.

But when Zhou Hao heard that he could buy clothes and be self-employed, he transferred the job to his wife without thinking, and then went to Zhou Jiaan to buy clothes.

It was just that their luck was a bit bad. On the first day, they encountered the arrest of two spies who were suspected to be involved with spies and enemy agents.

A few days later, Zhou Hao went to buy clothes again. This time, he did not delay. He got a certificate and went to Tianjin to sell clothes.

He did this without telling his family. When Zhou Xiangde found out, Zhou Yan's younger brother had already boarded the train.

Things in Beijing are now flourishing a bit, with people walking around the streets even spontaneously forming a market. However, when the joint defense team arrives, they all flee.

Those who have a certificate naturally don’t need to run, but most people are reluctant to apply for a certificate and just try to escape.

When Zhou Fengnian is not busy, he will go out for a stroll with Zhou Yan. When he sees this kind of market, he feels like he is going to a market decades later.

The next day.

Zhou Fengnian came to work early. As soon as he sat down, Wang Mingjie came in with a newspaper, put it on the table and said to Zhou Fengnian:

"Leader, the second edition of today's newspaper seems to be related to you."

"Is it related to me?"

Zhou Fengnian was just about to deal with something. He usually read the newspaper during lunch, but after hearing what Wang Mingjie said, he picked up the newspaper and started reading.

Wang Mingjie took the opportunity to pour water to make tea. He just took a quick look and the words in the newspaper did not seem to be good.

[Should we communicate? What is the significance of establishing diplomatic relations? ]

Zhou Fengnian found the report that Wang Mingjie mentioned and started reading it. He soon understood that it was saying that he would not agree to foreign trade requests.

The whole article is about the far-reaching impact of establishing diplomatic relations and the importance of exchanges between the two countries. From the loneliness of the country to the current establishment of diplomatic relations with many countries, it lists many benefits of having good relations with other countries.

Finally, he said that if they wanted to fight against Soviet revisionism, they had to rely on the power of the West, but some people became obstacles.
"Oh, you don't even dare to say it to me. I am bold and I am timid."

After reading it, Zhou Fengnian's first reaction was to think of You Lijun, but then he shook his head, thinking that he probably didn't have the courage.

If You Lijun does this, there will be no future.

After the policy of going abroad and studying abroad was opened, many people never returned.
Ten years later,
Zhou Fengnian was not surprised at all that he was being mocked now.

After Wang Mingjie brought the brewed tea and placed it on the table, Zhou Fengnian asked, "Mingjie, go ask this newspaper if I can publish my opinion in the newspaper. By the way, I want to publish it under my real name."

"Good leadership."

Wang Mingjie quickly called to inquire. After learning the newspaper's reply, he immediately knocked on the door and went in to report: "Leader, the other party said yes, and they will give you the same position."

"Okay, then please run an errand for me." Zhou Fengnian quickly wrote a sentence, signed his name, and handed it to Wang Mingjie.

The latter took it and looked at it, secretly clicking his tongue.

This leader of his has a really bad temper.

This bad temper does not mean that Zhou Fengnian curses people for no reason. On the contrary, Wang Mingjie has never seen Zhou Fengnian scold him. Even if he makes a mistake accidentally, he will just remind him to be careful next time.

Wang Mingjie felt that his leader had a bad temper and would not tolerate any grievances. When provoked or attacked by others, he would immediately fight back. He had a bit of the hard-line style in the military.

After Wang Mingjie left, Zhou Fengnian started to get busy.

The last time he was wronged was when he was a technician. A factory leader wanted to force him to submit. Zhou Fengnian almost forgot what the deputy factory leader's name was.

It would have been fine if he had suffered a little injustice because of his low status at that time, but now he is still being wronged. What kind of people are these?

After asking Wang Mingjie to deliver the note to the newspaper, Zhou Fengnian started his new research.

The supercomputer has entered the next stage and Zhou Fengnian no longer needs to worry too much.

The wireless communications factory has begun to develop digital mobile systems. In fact, they have almost mastered the analog cellular mobile communications technology. However, Zhou Fengnian knows that the lifespan of this technology is too short and there is no need to promote it.

They have also made great progress in digital technology and can conduct research on the next generation of digital mobile technology, and then directly promote it once it has been developed.

Because of Zhou Fengnian, they made rapid progress in technology, but the domestic development level could not keep up, and it was quite difficult to promote computers.

The wireless communications factory plans to start promoting digital mobile communications in two years. By then, there will definitely be a group of people in the country who will become rich first. After they use it, others will follow suit.

Moreover, the technical department of the wireless communications factory has other research projects, and Zhou Fengnian has assigned them more than one task.

How could a large factory with thousands of employees be responsible for such a simple matter? Both Zhou Fengnian and the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building had very high requirements for the wireless communications factory.

From now on, the wireless communication factory will expand by several hundred people every year. In the second half of this year, it even plans to send more employees to establish branches in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing.

The wireless communications factory was about to enter a period of rapid development. Pagers were very popular in these three places, and the expansion application they submitted was reasonable, so Zhou Fengnian quickly approved it.

It is just local expansion, recruiting one hundred people in each city, and it is expected to be completed within a year. Other cities with relatively good development will follow.

The drone factory occasionally needs Zhou Fengnian's technical guidance. The leaders and troops above attach great importance to the drone factory and invest a lot of support.

The Huaxia Machine Tool Factory did not often ask Zhou Fengnian for help, so he was free for a while.

Of course, Zhou Fengnian still has a lot of things to deal with every day, but not many of them have to do with technology.

So Zhou Fengnian pushed what he could, and dealt with the things he couldn't push himself, but now he wanted to develop some new technologies.

After thinking about the development of the new industry, Zhou Fengnian quickly began to write a development report.

Research and development, application and development prospects of robots!
China is now very suitable for developing robots. Their mechanical and computer bases are already at the forefront of the world, and the conditions for developing robots are already in place.

Zhou Fengnian plans to start with industrial robots, which is his main business.

Industrial robots combined with automated production lines can create a truly unmanned workshop that operates 24 hours a day.

"Uncle, do you have today's New Youth xx newspaper? Give me a copy."

A college student who sneaked out shouted to the newspaper seller, and after taking the newspaper and handing over the money, he hurried to school.

At this time, newspapers began to become popular among young people again. They not only included various articles, but also many comments.

This is particularly popular among many college students. Now they like two types of newspapers. One type is full of various current political comments, and they read them and analyze and discuss them together.

Another type is that newspapers with many literary short stories are popular. After the intellectuals who were demoted in the past few years have stood up, they are eager to write back all the poems they have not written in the past few years.

After running out to buy the newspaper, the college student hurried back to class.

When they arrived at the classroom, there was still some time before the class started, so a group of them who were close to each other got together to watch it.

Those who have money can get one share each, and those who have no money can pool together to get one share.

"Don't push, don't push, let's watch together!"

"Don't grab it, you won't be able to see it if you tear it up"

After a hurried scramble for a seat, they gathered around to read the newspaper just as they did yesterday.

"Hey, we can communicate with Amy through the computer? This was just yesterday."

"Can we go visit the School of Computer Science and see how they communicate with foreigners?"

"I don't think so. Outsiders can't use it."

"Oh, I wish I had been assigned to the computer major."

After almost everyone had finished reading the first page, others urged them to turn the page.

After seeing the next page, the sharp-eyed person quickly noticed the sentence Zhou Fengnian posted.

"Look at this Zhou Fengnian. Is he the Professor Zhou from the School of Computer Science?"

After being reminded by a classmate, others soon saw what that person said.

Zhou Fengnian just published a sentence in the newspaper, but it was very conspicuous.

[Some people are working hard for the development of this country, while others are desperately holding it back. The filthy smell in their hearts is about to permeate the entire city. - Zhou Fengnian]

"It should be Professor Zhou. But why does this place seem familiar? Was there anything reported here in yesterday's newspaper?"

"I remember that too. Who brought yesterday's newspaper? Take it out and let me see."

Someone happened to be carrying it, and quickly found yesterday's newspaper. After seeing the suggestive report about diplomacy, everyone said excitedly
"Look, they are talking about this, the position and size are exactly the same, it seems that Professor Zhou is also talking about this person."

"Qi Haitao, are you confused after sleeping? It's obvious that Professor Zhou is scolding the person who published this report yesterday. How can this be an endorsement?"

A classmate immediately retorted that he was a little confused after reading yesterday's report, but after reading it today, he immediately understood that the person mentioned in yesterday's newspaper was Professor Zhou.

Today, Professor Zhou immediately fought back!
