Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 298: Founding Fengnian School (Subscription Request)

"This is Professor Zhou agreeing with yesterday's report. The two of them are together scolding those who hinder the development of our country."

"What are you thinking? This must be Professor Zhou fighting back after being scolded. The location is the same and the size is the same. There is only one sentence in such a large space. If it's not a counterattack, why is it so deliberate!?"

"I also think that Professor Zhou must have responded because he was scolded."

"Why don't we go ask, isn't Professor Zhou's son in the School of Computer Science? That little Song Jiang, Zhou Xianyang."

Zhou Xianyang was quite famous in Tsinghua University. Leading his classmates to sell roasted nuts and snacks only made him famous in a small circle.

But later someone accidentally let it slip, letting most people know that he helped his classmates become rich and was paid 80 yuan a month.

He would also distribute bonuses of twenty or thirty yuan from time to time, making a group of his classmates and seniors who worked with him rich.

These days, the county magistrate only makes a hundred yuan a month, but these college students who have not yet graduated can earn the salary of a county magistrate with the skills they have just learned, and they can earn it for six or seven months.

This made those who did not work with Zhou Fengnian regret it to death. Many students from the School of Computer Science wanted to join Zhou Xianyang's team, but had no way to do so.

Seventeen people is a bit too many. Now there are fewer companies willing to accept them to build websites. Zhou Xianyang estimates that he can only work until the end of the year at most.

However, working with Zhou Fengnian, they earned a thousand yuan a year, which was not only enough to cover four years of tuition and living expenses, but also allowed their family to live worry-free for three or four years until they graduated from college.

Even if Zhou Xianyang quits now, he can still gain sixteen loyal classmates.

Such heated discussions are also taking place in the School of Computer Science.

In particular, Zhou Fengnian was their professor. Although he only taught for one semester, he published two textbooks.

Their instructor, who came from the Shenzhou Computer Factory, also highly praised Zhou Fengnian. He often talked about Zhou Fengnian's strengths in class. They called him an "encyclopedia" who could answer any question.

In the School of Computer Science, Zhou Fengnian is almost becoming a deity.

"Student Xianyang, you are Professor Zhou's son. Please analyze this. Is Professor Zhou trying to agree with others, or is he arguing with yesterday's report?"

Just after the get out of class, Zhou Xianyang failed to escape and was blocked in the classroom. Then more and more people came, and even the instructor who had just taught the class stayed out of interest.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Zhou Xianyang looked like he would not leave until he got an answer, so he had no choice but to say, "Classmates, I don't know either, but he usually doesn't go out of his way to cater to other people's opinions."

"So they're criticizing yesterday's report? It looks like they're talking about Professor Zhou. How dare these bastards open their mouths?"

"Exactly. Sabotaging diplomacy? Professor Zhou has won the highest award in computer science. How can they have the nerve to say such a thing?"

"How about we go to the Youth Daily to protest? We can't let them insult our professor like this!"

"Yes, I think you can go too. Why do you think you can just say whatever you want about others? You were able to throw dirty water on Professor Zhou yesterday, but who knows who you will say dirty water on tomorrow!"

The students in the classroom were very excited and agreed to go to the Youth xx newspaper to protest, intending to ask them to withdraw yesterday's report and apologize to Professor Zhou Fengnian.

At the very least, a clarification is required, otherwise Professor Zhou would not be so angry as to publish a newspaper response.

Zhou Xianyang saw that the students in the classroom were excited and ready to leave immediately, so he stood on the table and shouted loudly:

"Classmates, don't get excited yet. This is all speculation. At least my dad is not angry. Really, he even ate four steamed buns last night."

In fact, he only ate two steamed buns, but Zhou Xianyang now had to appease these classmates, otherwise he would be suspected of instigating trouble.

Zhou Xianyang remembers most clearly that his father hated trouble the most, especially the kind of trouble that shouldn't happen.

Even though these classmates were very excited and it had nothing to do with him, when they found out later that it was his words that made them so excited, Zhou Xianyang felt that he would be hung on the beam and beaten when he returned home.

"Don't worry, I'll ask when I get back. Maybe it's not what you think."

At this time, the instructor of the School of Computer Science also hurriedly said: "Yes, everyone, don't get excited, this matter has not been clarified yet!"

The two of them persuaded and comforted them back and forth, and they managed to stop the group of excited students. Zhou Xianyang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly planned in his heart that no matter what he was asked tonight, he would say tomorrow that his father was very happy and it would not have any impact at all.

The newspaper's article about Zhou Fengnian caused a stir not only in the school.

Even many cadres saw this report, and were shocked by just one short sentence.

Nowadays, newspapers are also an important source of information for many cadres. They make a cup of tea in the morning and then pick up the newspaper to see what has happened recently.

If you have free time, you can even read several newspapers in the morning.

Even if they don't have much time, they will ask their assistants or secretaries to help them pay attention to more important news.

The response published by Zhou Fengnian was considered a relatively important matter. At least everyone who saw the news was impressed.

Yesterday, they were still confused by the "criminal who sabotaged diplomacy", but today they finally understood. They were talking about Zhou Fengnian, and today Zhou Fengnian scolded them back.

Li, the deputy leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building, also saw the newspaper. After reading it, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's still the same temper. It hasn't changed in more than ten years."

After saying this, Deputy Leader Li originally wanted to call Zhou Fengnian, but then he thought about it and gave up the idea.

There's no need. He doesn't need to say hello for such a small matter.

"But these people should be controlled. What do they know about sabotaging diplomacy?"

Deputy Leader Li secretly planned to discuss this matter in detail during the next meeting.

How can a person who has made so many contributions to the country be labeled with such a big hat?

Newspaper editors are just there to do nothing!

Even the top leaders saw today's newspaper, and they just laughed a few times after reading it.

"Comrade Fengnian is still as energetic as a young man."

After hearing this, the leader's assistant smiled and continued, "Commissioner Zhou was famous for his temper. He was not ambiguous when encountering things in those years. He insisted on several occasions.
I heard that if Commissioner Zhou had not made several contributions, they would have wanted to arrest Commissioner Zhou a long time ago. "

The leader sighed and said, "There was nothing we could do at that time. It was already remarkable that he could protect some people."

"Leader, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Let's do this for now. No one dares to say anything about these people. I have also been scolded many times. However, even if they scold others, they cannot stop others from saying anything about them. This is fair."

The leader smiled and said that he had no intention of interfering. Zhou Fengnian had already told him the importance of semiconductors last time. Taking into account the smart home appliances that will be developed in the future, semiconductors will be able to involve billions of dollars in foreign exchange earnings in the next five years.

They finally had a pillar industry that ranked at the top of the world, and they definitely couldn't sell it. He thought Zhou Fengnian was right about this, and on the contrary, there were big problems with yesterday's article.

But he doesn't arrest people just because of an article. There are often quarrels in the newspapers now, and even he is criticized, saying that he is taking the capitalist road.
If we arrest people for a few words or an article, wouldn't that be more severe than in the past?

You can't do that.

Moreover, in the past three years, there have been at least thousands of documents criticizing reform and opening up.

What's more, Zhou Fengnian didn't look like he was at a disadvantage. Such a straightforward counterattack made him feel comfortable.

Some people do have dirty intentions, but they disguise themselves very well on the outside.

-----

"Dad! Mom, where is my dad? Is he back?"

The first time Zhou Xianyang came back, he didn't look for his wife Bai Qing'an first, but looked for Zhou Fengnian instead.

Zhou Yan walked out of the house and said, "Why are you running around? Your dad never comes home so early. What do you want from him?"

"Mom, you don't know what happened in our school today. It was almost a riot. Anyway, when my dad comes back, you have to criticize him."

Zhou Xianyang is still frightened. He did not go to class in the afternoon and stayed in the dormitory to study.

“There was almost a riot this afternoon!”

Zhou Yan frowned slightly, raised her hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

Zhou Xianyang said quickly, "Well, actually my dad published a sentence in the newspaper, and then many students in our school admired him and felt that my dad was wronged."

After a detailed explanation, Zhou Yan and Bai Qing'an who came over finally knew what had happened.

Bai Qing'an seldom reads newspapers in the art troupe, or rather, she never reads them at all, so she is not very clear about this matter; her colleagues like to read some literary articles, but Bai Qing'an has no interest at all.

I was quite worried after hearing about Zhou Fengnian's situation.

After hearing this, Zhou Yan glared at Zhou Xianyang and said, "Your father must be sure. No matter what I say, I will not interfere in his work."

"Mom, I'm not asking you to interfere with his work, but to calm him down. He's already over 40 and still has such a bad temper."

"It's fine if he stays like this until he's 60 or 70 years old, but it would be best if he doesn't change at all!"

Zhou Yan was so angry that she slapped her son on the shoulder twice and scolded him, "Your father doesn't usually get involved in things, but no one will object to what he does."

Although Zhou Xianyang was convinced in his heart, he wanted his mother to scold his father, so he advised: "Mom, you have to take care of it."

"He is the head of the family."

Zhou Yan said without temper: "Go clean the yard if you have nothing else to do."

Zhou Xianyang wanted to say something, but Bai Qingan grabbed his ear and pulled him away to work.

Zhou Fengnian just came back when it was almost time for dinner in the evening.

After seeing this, Zhou Yan asked Gong Lin to serve the meal, and she took the briefcase and asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

"Because there are no projects to rush, my busyness is also periodic, but sometimes the period is very long. The meal today was good. The roast duck at Bian Yi Fang was bought by Xian Yang, right?"

Zhou Fengnian said after glancing at the dining table.

Zhou Xianyang was startled when he heard this, then he raised his thumb and said, "Dad, I feel like you really know all the restaurants in the city. How did you figure it out at a glance?"

"There are some differences between the roast duck chefs at Bian Yi Fang and Quan Ju De. You will find out if you eat more."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile, washed his hands, sat down at the main seat, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Although Zhou Xianyang had a lot to ask, he waited until the meal was over and the nanny was clearing the table before he could help but ask

"Dad, today all the students in our school stood up for you. They think you were bullied."

Zhou Xianyang talked about their school affairs, and then quickly said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. They stopped me from leaving, so I said that you rarely cater to other people's opinions."

"You are being a little one-sided. Of course I don't say anything at home, but when I'm in a meeting outside, I have to cater to others. If I oppose everything, I'm just being argumentative."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said that he never talked about work at home. Even if he did, he would just complain to his wife at the bedside. What could his son know?

"But your guess is not wrong. The last article was about me. Everyone knows the dirty thoughts of these people. There is no need for me to indulge them by publishing that sentence in the newspaper.

But don't worry, students. Your job is to study hard. What you learn is yours. Don't waste your time on this."

Zhou Xianyang shook his head and said, "It's useless for me to say it. They are just too adoring of you to do that. I think you should go and say it yourself."

"I won't go. I'm busy with other things recently. But you can tell your classmates to wait and see."

Zhou Fengnian thought for a while and said, there is no point in arguing with those people. One dirty word from him is enough to make them anxious. As the saying goes, a stone thrown at a dog makes it bark.

The louder their voices are, the more right Zhou Fengnian is.

Moreover, from now until the end of the year, Zhou Fengnian should not have much to do, unless there are accidents in the areas he is responsible for and he is needed to rescue the situation.

It is indeed a bit unrealistic for him to fully develop China, a country with a population of one billion, by himself now, and the development in all aspects has reached a bottleneck.

Zhou Fengnian felt that his future energy and focus would shift slightly towards training students.

He set up a Fengnian School. It can't be called a school. He taught a dozen or twenty to thirty students. His energy had not deteriorated at all and was almost the same as when he was in his twenties or thirties. He could teach less than thirty students.

However, he cannot select only those from Tsinghua University. He plans to select researchers from various universities and research institutes.

The field of robotics involves a lot of things, including mechanical structure, sensor system and control system. If we break it down, there are even more fields.

If he is not busy in the future, Zhou Fengnian will teach students and then lead them to develop and manufacture robots. If he is busy, he will let them learn on their own for a while. In short, he will cultivate a group of talents.

Moreover, for this recruitment of students, Zhou Fengnian not only proposed a plan internally, he also prepared to put a test question in the newspaper to recruit students.

Whoever sees it and can return to his satisfaction can become his student.

With Zhou Fengnian's fame, it is estimated that as soon as the article is published in the newspaper, everyone who sees it will scramble to become his student.
