Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 320: Exhibition Plans, Zhou Yan Takes Office (Subscription Request)
"Dad, why did you come back so early today? And why did mom ask me to pick up my sister?"

When Zhou Yiyi saw Zhou Fengnian, she said unhappily that picking up Zhou Linlin left her with no time to play with her classmates.

"This is a reward for you. Didn't your mother tell you?"

Zhou Fengnian pretended to be puzzled and said, "As long as you are willing to pick up Linlin from school, I will buy you a women's bicycle. Don't you want to?"

“Only one bicycle”

"And a watch."

"Ok?"

Zhou Yiyi was reluctant to say something, then her face changed to joy and she said, "Dad, leave the matter of picking up my sister to me. I will make sure she is brought back safely."

At worst, I can just send my sister back first and then go out to play. Anyway, I have a bicycle and the school is not far from here.

Zhou Fengnian's family is quite strict about the expenses of the next generation. Even after Zhou Yiyi entered high school, she only had five yuan of pocket money every month.

Their family helps them buy all the normal daily necessities, but if they want to drink soda, watch movies or do other things, they have to save money themselves.

When Zhou Xianyang was a child, he wanted to help his classmates who were in need, so he kept copying books for Zhou Fengnian. He almost broke his wrists before he could earn any money.

Zhou Yiyi was no exception, but Zhou Fengnian would occasionally secretly give her money to buy clothes or have dinner with classmates.

But she didn't know yet that the clothes she bought were all produced by her second uncle's garment factory and bought by Zhou Yiyi from a third-party dealer.

Then Zhou Yiyi couldn't wait any longer and pulled Zhou Fengnian outside. She wanted a bicycle and a watch today.

Zhou Fengnian couldn't persuade his daughter, so he had to take the money and follow Zhou Yiyi out.

As soon as I went out, I met Zhou Xianyang and Bai Qingan walking towards the house.

Zhou Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Come and have a meal. Chef Yang's food is delicious. We'll leave after we finish eating. What are you planning to do?"

Zhou Xianyang saw the father and daughter walking outside and couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Yiyi said with a smile: "Dad bought me a bicycle and a watch!"

"Why? Aren't your grades at the bottom?"

"What does this have to do with grades?"

Zhou Yiyi immediately said with her eyes glaring and teeth bared that her brother always liked to talk about grades, which was so annoying!
"Your mother got a promotion, and from now on, Yi Yi will pick Linlin up after school, so buy her a bicycle."

Zhou Fengnian said, "You guys go in quickly. I didn't know you two were coming. I just told Chef Yang to cook for four people. You can ask Chef Yang to make two more dishes."

"Dad, please go back. We will take Yi Yi for a walk."

Zhou Xianyang immediately said: "You have been busy all day, take a break, leave this matter to Qingan and me."

After listening to this, Bai Qingan also nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, you go and have a rest."

"Okay, then take Yi Yi to the supply and marketing cooperative, and I'll give you money."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he took out some money from his pocket and prepared to hand it to Zhou Xianyang, but the latter simply waved his hand to refuse.

"Take the money back. Why would I need it to buy something for my sister?"

"Oh, why are you so generous today?"

After laughing and teasing Zhou Xianyang, Zhou Fengnian collected the money and handed his daughter over.

Originally, Zhou Yiyi was unwilling to be with her elder brother, but if her sister-in-law was around, Zhou Yiyi would be very willing.

This just happened to save Zhou Fengnian some energy. He had been busy all day and planned to have a good rest, so he went straight home after getting rid of the trouble.

After telling Gong Lin that he would cook two more meals for her tonight, Zhou Fengnian went back to his room to rest.

However, after reading for a while, Zhou Fengnian couldn't sit still, so he simply developed a robot development plan.

In the next twenty years, the focus will be on developing industrial robots, while also taking into account the development of special robots.

The development ratio of the two should be about 70:30. Special operation robots must be developed, but developing them according to demand is sufficient.

Twenty years later, when our domestic industry develops into the top two in the world and the industrial robot system is thoroughly improved, we can then vigorously develop special robots and service robots.

The industrial robot that Zhou Fengnian and his students are developing is quite successful in terms of power system, processing control system and mechanical movement.

After some changes, it can be transformed into a welding robot and a spraying robot, which will completely destroy Xiao Rizi’s pride in robots.

This is not difficult. With the support of the country, once the institute is established, Zhou Fengnian will assign them tasks.

A robot production workshop and transformation of robot applications will be established within one year.

Zhou Fengnian was thinking and pondering, from semiconductors to robots, and then artificial intelligence. He was slowly developing the key to future rise.

Once the research, development and manufacturing of robots are on track, the country should become prosperous and Zhou Fengnian can also try biopharmaceuticals.

He has upgraded his medical skills to level eight, and several other related skills to level seven. In a few years, Zhou Fengnian is confident that he can upgrade all biopharmaceutical related skills to level eight, and it is even possible that he can upgrade his medical skills to level nine.

Now my whole family takes the medicine he prescribed, to cure any illness they have and to maintain health if they are healthy.

If my eldest brother Zhou Weitian didn't apply a few doses of ointment prepared by Zhou Fengnian every day, his shoulder would have been damaged long ago.

There is also Zhou's father, who is over 60 years old and still works at the fertilizer factory. Zhou's mother is also in very good health and works as a purchasing manager at the village fertilizer factory. She has not suffered from the serious illness that the original body remembered.

Zhou's mother was in charge of the fertilizer factory's procurement and directly eliminated all corruption. Even if it was a towel, she would check whether it was used for the right purpose.

At the beginning, Zhou's mother was very stingy. She saved money, but the workers at the fertilizer factory couldn't stand it.

Finally, Zhou's father criticized and told Zhou's mother that as long as there was no false reporting and waste, she should purchase what needed to be purchased!

However, there has been no corruption in the fertilizer factory so far, and Zhou's mother must take some credit for this; otherwise, due to the connections in the village, she would take some today and some tomorrow, and the losses would definitely be huge.

When Zhou Fengnian was planning the development of the robot, his little daughter suddenly pushed the door open and ran in, saying, "Dad, Mom is back, and my sister and brother are back too."

"I see. Let's get ready to eat."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he put down his work and went downstairs with his little daughter.

After arriving on the first floor, I saw my son and daughter-in-law surrounding Zhou Yan, while Zhou Yiyi was looking at her watch proudly and had changed into new clothes.

Seeing Zhou Fengnian coming down, Zhou Yan immediately smiled and said, "Fengnian, I will report to the Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office the day after tomorrow."

"So soon? It seems like you're really needed over there."

Zhou Fengnian was a little surprised. Generally, appointments in organizations are not that fast. It only took a few days from the conversation to the reporting, so there was no need to worry about any unexpected events in the handover.

Unless the district leaders intend to transfer the deputy director who serves as the acting director as well, and replace all the principal and deputy positions with new people, it would be possible for them to urge him to take up the post as soon as possible.

Zhou Fengnian guessed that it might be related to him. After all, a leader in the area was "forced" to move into the cadre family compound. To put it more seriously, it was considered a serious dereliction of duty in their area.

Only one director and deputy director of the street office were removed, which can be considered a promotion and a release.

Zhou Yan is considered a young cadre as she can become the director of a subdistrict office at this age. She may be able to reach the level of deputy director before retiring.

Although not as good as Zhou Fengnian, it is still rare. However, if Zhou Yan wants to move up, she has to get a degree.

Zhou Fengnian is already special among the specials. He has declined once at his current level. If he really wants to move up, his current level can be raised to the next level.

However, the higher the level, the greater the responsibility, and since his expertise is not suitable, he only wants to have a say, but does not want this power and responsibility.

After dinner and before going to bed, Zhou Fengnian chatted with Zhou Yan about what he would do after taking office in the street office. It was also Zhou Yan's first time as the director of the street office, which was completely different from being the director of the Women's Federation.

There are many things to manage, and they also need to be managed steadily. Zhou Fengnian did not give Zhou Yan much advice, he just asked her to maintain stability.

The next ten years will be a period of rapid development. At this time, as long as we can maintain stability in the jurisdiction, it will be the best political achievement report.

"lead."

Wang Mingjie knocked on the door and walked in, then put a document on the table: "All the information you asked me to collect about the International Robot Exhibition is here." Zhou Fengnian nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work. Please help me, Deputy Director Lu Junfeng, come here."

Lu Junfeng is the deputy director of the Robotics Institute. Currently, the Robotics Institute is still in its infancy and only has one building and laboratory.

Most of the things in the laboratory were moved from National Tsinghua University.

Although support and funding were provided from above, personnel and equipment cannot be in place in one day; currently, there are less than 40 people in the Robotics Research Institute, and half of them are Zhou Fengnian's students.

The rest, such as Lu Junfeng and others, are researchers selected from various universities.

After Wang Mingjie went out to notify people, Zhou Fengnian also picked up the information about the International Robot Exhibition and started reading it.

This exhibition is held every year and has become a weather vane for the development of the robotics industry.

It not only demonstrates the country's strength in robot development, but also attracts many supply chain companies.

Although the robots they develop and manufacture are all domestically produced, there is no problem with producing small quantities. However, if they were to manufacture robots in large quantities, more related supporting industries would be needed.

Although people live a miserable life, their precision manufacturing industry is indeed world-class in this era.

However, only the supporting industries of precision manufacturing are doing well. When Zhou Fengnian destroys Xiaorizi and Amei's robot industries, their supply chain companies will only be able to provide spare parts to China.

By that time, it will be up to them to decide whether to buy or not, and they can do whatever they want.

After reading the information, Zhou Fengnian had a rough idea in his mind. In the past, the exhibition was held in several countries in turn, and this year it was the turn to hold the exhibition in Xiaorizi.

In previous years, China's robot industry had not yet taken off, so China did not participate. They also believed that China was a backward developing country and did not invite us at all.

There are still three or four months before the start of this year, so it is not too late for them to apply now.

Not long after, Lu Junfeng came to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. Now the Robotics Research Institute is not very busy. Apart from the research, development and manufacturing of the three existing industrial robots, there is basically nothing else to do.

After Lu Junfeng was brought in by Wang Mingjie, he smiled and asked, "Director Zhou, are you looking for me?"

Zhou Fengnian is also the director of the Robotics Research Institute, so Lu Junfeng directly addresses him as his subordinate.

"Well, I have something to tell you. Take a look at this first."

Zhou Fengnian handed the information about the International Robot Exhibition to Lu Junfeng, and then said to Wang Mingjie: "Mingjie, pour some tea for Director Lu."

"Okay, leader."

After listening to this, Wang Mingjie took another portion of tea and started brewing it.

Zhou Fengnian said: "Director Lu, our institute was established not long ago. No, it should be said that the development of domestic robots has just been established not long ago, and there are many shortcomings.

So I think we can focus on development and strive to improve the core parts. Some precision-made but not core parts can be ordered from foreign countries."

There is a shortage of money in the country and all aspects are developing. It is impossible for Zhou Fengnian to develop all industries related to robots and catch up with foreign countries.

He can provide technology, but the objective domestic situation cannot be ignored, and sometimes even with the technology it cannot be developed.

We can only concentrate on developing core parts, such as the power system and the control system. If we master these two, it doesn't matter if we leave the rest to foreign countries.

Once China's industry is fully developed, they can restart development at any time.

".Therefore, it is very necessary to participate in this international exhibition and make a name for yourself in the exhibition, Director Lu."

After listening to Zhou Fengnian's words, Lu Junfeng, who had also finished reading the information about the International Robot Exhibition, nodded in agreement.

"Director, you are right, so should we apply to participate in this year's exhibition?"

Zhou Fengnian nodded and said, "Yes, our industrial robots are very mature. Although they started a few years later than Xiao Ri, their work efficiency and intelligence are definitely better than theirs."

This is their strength. Their semiconductor chips and computers are world-class, and the result is powerful data calculations.

"This time we are going to the exhibition, in addition to letting foreigners see the development of Chinese computers, we also want to negotiate a batch of orders for precision parts, which is the most important thing."

Lu Junfeng nodded after hearing this. He fully agreed with Zhou Fengnian's development concept, but he didn't know whether he could complete the task successfully.

The Coordinating Committee has not been abolished yet, and the foreign blockade against them still exists.

They are also not sure whether there will be more banned items on the Coordinating Committee’s blockade list.

Afterwards, Zhou Fengnian discussed some details with Lu Junfeng. After finalizing the matter, Lu Junfeng was responsible for preparing for the exhibition, and Zhou Fengnian helped him prepare for going abroad.

Zhou Fengnian was 100% sure about participating in the exhibition.

Originally, after the reform and opening up, Xiao Rizi should have adopted a condescending attitude towards Hua Xia; but now, due to the emergence of Zhou Fengnian, several sets of combined punches have made Xiao Rizi dizzy.

Our CNC machine tools have never caught up with China’s. If they break down, we cannot repair them ourselves and have to pay a lot of money to hire their technicians to repair them.

The maintenance cost of the CNC machine tool I bought ten years ago has exceeded the price of the machine tool itself.

In terms of computers, China has been so overwhelmed that several computer companies and the government have jointly invested hundreds of billions of yen to invent a supercomputer that surpasses the second-generation Shenzhou.

But they have lost all their money. If they are asked to research a supercomputer that surpasses the third-generation Shenzhou Son, it is estimated that the computer companies and the Ministry of Science and Technology will not dare to subsidize them.

It took three or four years and a total investment of hundreds of billions of yuan, but it was completely wasted when it was hit by China's Shenzhou's third-generation aircraft.

In the two top fields of heavy industry and electronics industry, China taught me a lesson twice.

Nowadays, when meeting Chinese people, they no longer dare to adopt the condescending attitude as before.

As soon as Lu Junfeng left, Zhou Fengnian started to prepare a plan for the robot to participate in the exhibition. This matter had to trouble the external affairs department and ask them to make contact.

But time is tight and it has to be done as soon as possible. Zhou Fengnian calculated the time, then picked up the phone and called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs himself.

"Hello, Comrade Zhiwei, I am Zhou Fengnian from the Fourth Machine Department. I have something to trouble you with."

The normal procedure is to hand the document to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then contact them after they review, discuss and approve it.

However, Zhou Fengnian simply simplified the previous process, allowing them to submit their applications directly and use diplomatic relations to promote their participation in the exhibition.

Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office.

On the first day Zhou Yan took office, she called a few clerks and asked them to find all the backup files of the silk processing personnel of the former director Wang and deputy director Gao.

She needs to familiarize herself with the previous processing procedures so that she has a reference.

Most of the work of the street office is similar to what Zhou Fengnian said, which is to convey policies from above, manage stability within the jurisdiction, and formulate some relevant management regulations.

After looking for a long time, Zhou Yan had a rough idea in his mind.

There aren't many things to do. Zhou Yan feels that the way she handles things is similar to when she was in the Women's Federation, except that it's more cumbersome and she has to be responsible for more things than before.

After getting a rough idea in mind, Zhou Yan called a clerk and said, "Comrade Chunmei, notify the deputy directors and the captain of the joint defense team to hold a meeting in 20 minutes."

When she arrived today, she started looking at previous documents and has not communicated with other colleagues yet.

After I picked up the documents that my predecessor had not finished processing and was about to go to the meeting room, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

A clerk came in and reported to Zhou Yan: "Director, the joint defense team caught a group of people fighting and brought back thirteen people. Most of them participated in the fight."

"Thirteen people!?"

Zhou Yan was shocked. This was already a major incident. How could she encounter such a thing just after she arrived?
She used to think that the streets of Nanluoguxiang were a stable and peaceful area, but now it seems that it is not what she imagined.

"I gonna go see."

Zhou Yan stood up and said, then followed the clerk to the joint defense team.

The joint defense team under the sub-district office also has its own interrogation and detention rooms. It is basically a small police station, but not as formal as a police station.

After arriving at the joint defense team, Zhou Yan was about to call Captain Fang when she saw someone familiar among the people squatting on the ground?
Zhou Yan felt that he looked more and more familiar, so she tentatively called out, "Zhou Hao, look up."

Zhou Hao, who was squatting on the ground, heard someone calling him. He subconsciously looked up and saw his sister frowning and staring at him. Zhou Hao couldn't believe it and said in a lost voice

"Sister? Why are you here?"
