Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 347 Sprint to level skills!
"Leader Zhou, I have already found out about what you reported to us two days ago."

Early in the morning, a deputy director of the Second Division of the Security Bureau brought people to Zhou Fengnian's office.

After bowing to him, he continued, "Their magazine has no signs of publishing a book, and although it is affiliated with the Shanghai Publicity Department, they have not invited you through public channels.
After investigation, we found his passport application record, and colleagues in Shanghai found foreign currency at his home that did not match his salary, so we basically concluded that he had foreign-related problems. "

After listening to this, Zhou Fengnian nodded and said, "Has the person been caught?"

Deputy Director Yu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Leader Zhou, we're still tracking him down. Although he told us that there was a foreign man who instructed him to do this, we haven't found him yet. He should have left, and his wife is missing too."

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "These people were well prepared and ran fast enough."

Deputy Director Yu said: "Indeed, our personnel have been paying attention to the suspicious individuals who have contact with you, but have ignored your family and relatives."

"There's nothing we can do about it. If we focus on all our family and relatives, you don't have that much manpower."

Zhou Fengnian said with understanding, and then chatted with Deputy Director Yu about some other things.

Because he was involved in a foreign-related incident, his security will be upgraded to a higher level for a period of time until the Security Bureau deems it appropriate.

There is no way. Zhou Fengnian is a "scientific figure" who has been promoted. China needs to stand up in the development of science and technology.

Zhou Fengnian, who has developed the most advanced machine tools, computers, semiconductors, etc., is the technological strength of China.

There are many great scientists working in secret, but their information is kept secret, making it easier to protect them.

After everyone left, Zhou Fengnian also breathed a sigh of relief.

The foreigners were really bastards, they did something stupid over and over again. He knew of three such incidents, and he was secretly stopped by the Security Bureau countless times.

"These bastards, when you are wiped out one day, I really want to suggest redividing the races into four levels"

First class Chinese, second class yellow people, third class white and black people!
If he is given enough time, Zhou Fengnian will be able to realize all the knowledge instilled in his brain, and then China's technological level may reach the limit of the Earth level.

But it takes a bit long.

Zhou Fengnian opened the proficiency simulation system panel for the first time in a long time. He hadn't carefully looked at his ability level for a long time.

"There are a total of seventy-six ninth-level abilities. After more than twenty years of hard work, I'm doing pretty well. The highest one is still mechanical design and computer. It seems that these two are used the most."

However, after spending so much time and trying so hard, I was able to reach level nine several years ago or even ten years ago, but I still haven't reached level ten.

This made Zhou Fengnian feel a little desperate and helpless. It was too difficult to upgrade an ability to the maximum level.

He wants to get involved in biopharmaceuticals next year or the year after, which will require some more energy.

Although Zhou Fengnian now has the option to upgrade, it still takes too much time.

"But it will be soon. Let's focus on improving these two first and see if there is any breakthrough after reaching level 10. If the improvement is very small, then we can focus on improving national strength next."

Zhou Fengnian looked at the number of simulations and found that he had accumulated five more. He could use these five simulations, plus the remaining time, to concentrate on improving one skill to the maximum level.

The simulation allows his consciousness to focus on experiments for twenty-four hours, and in the simulation, he can create anything known.

It is perfect for experiment and troubleshooting!
"Let's upgrade the computer to level ten first."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Fengnian decided in his heart that computers are the key to future development, and he wanted to see what changes and benefits the tenth-level ability could bring.

"Deputy Director, our research was successful!"

After knocking on the door and coming in, the head of the technical department spoke loudly and excitedly.

Zhou Xianyang took a closer look and found that the head of the technical department was holding an electrical appliance the size of half a palm with some buttons on it.

"Did it work? Great, let me see!"

Zhou Xianyang immediately took the music player from the head of the technical department, and quickly figured out how to turn it on and play it according to the buttons on it.

After plugging in the headphones and pressing a button, a clear sound of music soon reached his ears. It was the song "The East is Red".

The digital revolution has already begun in China. Although 80% of the people do not have access to computers, China is certainly a world leader in the computer industry in terms of research laboratories and technical reserves.

The foundation for MP3 music players existed, but no one had thought of it before.

Zhou Xianyang was also reminded by Zhou Fengnian, and then he took over the No. 1 Electrical Appliance Factory and took great pains to hire someone to manufacture it.

After listening to a song, Zhou Xianyang took off his headphones and said loudly: "Good, well done, Section Chief Tian, ​​you will be rewarded 2,500 yuan, the deputy section chief will be rewarded 2,000 yuan, and the other technicians will be rewarded 1,500 yuan.

By the way, there are also several researchers who came to help, and they will also be rewarded with 2,000 yuan. I will write you a note, and you can tell the finance department later and collect the money after get off work."

In this era when the average annual income per capita is around 600 to 700 yuan, 1,500 yuan is already more than two years' salary for them, and the bonus for the head of the technical department is even more generous.

Two thousand five hundred was enough for him to buy two tube-shaped houses and was enough to cover the expenses of his whole family for four to five years.

"Thank you, Deputy Director. Thank you, Deputy Director!"

The head of the technical department thanked him repeatedly with joy; this bonus was really beyond his expectations.

Although after contracting, they no longer have the iron rice bowl they used to have, the current factory director is too generous.

After getting along for a while, most people in the factory knew that the person in charge of the new factory was deputy director Zhou Xianyang, and the real director had never shown up.

However, after the factory was contracted out, they clearly felt that their lives are better now than before.

Although the factory’s performance was good in the past, at most it could only give out some bonuses and add a few meals.

But now, the money is actually paid out, and the bonus for developing new products is so generous that even the head of the technical department feels a little weak in the knees.

"Old Tian, ​​come with me to the technical department. Once this music player is successful, I will raise your salaries!"

Zhou Xianyang patted Section Chief Tian on the shoulder and said that as long as the factory was doing well, he didn't care about the salary.

He privately asked his father Zhou Fengnian, if the MP3 sold well, it would be easy to make hundreds of millions in this day and age, hundreds of millions!
Zhou Xianyang really didn't dare to even think about it, but he believed in his father's vision.

But before that, he had to apply for the MP3 patent, and he couldn't apply in the name of the factory, but had to apply in his personal name.

Although those second and third generation people who came to cause trouble before were scared away by his father's reputation, sooner or later there will be those who are not afraid of his father.

Moreover, he contracted a factory. In name, the factory was still under the Industrial Bureau, but it was rented like a house.

It's possible that they might become jealous and take it away without considering his father.

After all, this is an electronic product that can earn hundreds of millions in a year. With such a huge amount, anything can happen.

Zhou Xianyang quickly came to the technical department, and after carefully looking at the production and detailed information of the MP3, he happily announced the reward again, and then took the backup information and left to call a meeting with the factory's production workshop directors. He would free up one-third of the factory's production capacity to produce MP3s, and at the same time he would also replace production equipment and contact electronic component manufacturers.

However, Zhou Xianyang also knew the disadvantages. There were too few computers in the country and purchasing power was low. The cost price of the MP3 parts was eighty yuan, and with other items it was almost a hundred yuan.

If sold domestically, Zhou Xianyang plans to sell it for 160 yuan, and if sold overseas, it will be US dollars.

If the domestic price is too high, then no one will buy it. At least we have to sell some in the domestic market.

They make a lot of money abroad. One hundred and twenty dollars is not expensive for most civilians, and their music industry is developing very well. This extremely portable music player that is smaller than a palm will definitely be a big hit.

The only problem is that the storage capacity is a bit limited. The first generation of MP3 music players only had 10MB of storage, which was very small.

This will have to wait and be developed slowly in the future, and Zhou Xianyang also found that Feiyang Electric Factory has a shortage of technical personnel, and he has a lot of things to develop in the future.

"Those technical personnel from the research institute must stay."

Zhou Xianyang thought about it in his mind during the meeting, and then he began to arrange production matters seriously.

After everything was arranged, Zhou Xianyang took the first generation of MP3 music player he had just manufactured and prepared to go to the Foreign Trade Department to find Uncle Bai Kang.

He was driving the Shenzhou sedan he had just bought. He practiced for a while and got his driver's license by just asking for permission.

After arriving at the Foreign Trade Department, Zhou Xianyang registered and went in. This time he had made a phone call before coming, so the doorman had his information in the visitor register.

Not long after entering the Foreign Trade Department, Zhou Xianyang was taken to Bai Kang's office.

The powerful director of the Foreign Trade Department not only has his own office, but also an assistant.

After seeing Zhou Xianyang coming in, Bai Kang put down the work in his hands and asked with a smile: "Xianyang, what's the matter?"

"It's the same thing I told you last time, uncle. Our factory wants a quota for the Canton Fair."

After Zhou Xianyang sat opposite Bai Kang and handed over the MP3 music player, he continued, "We plan to sell this, and I plan to leave right away and go to Hong Kong to apply for a patent."

"Apply for a patent? There's only one month left before the Canton Fair. Is it too late?"

After Bai Kang took the MP3 music player, he started to study it while asking questions. Zhou Xianyang also gave him a copy of instructions, so it was very easy to use.

“I remember that it takes at least one or two years to apply for a patent, and sometimes even more than five years. Can you catch up with the Canton Fair now?

Oh? This is The East is Red. It's so clear. It's more convenient than playing music with your portable player."

It’s not like the Ministry of Foreign Trade hasn’t done this before, but it took three years to apply for a few regions, which really made them wait.

And it costs a lot, just hiring people costs hundreds of thousands.

"Uncle, even if we achieve good results at the Canton Fair, it will take two months to export. This period of time is enough for us to register first, and they may not be able to fully understand it."

Zhou Xianyang also did some homework, and he still has more than three or four months, which is enough.

"Okay, as long as you have the plan in mind, there will be no problem with the quota for the Canton Fair. Although it is almost starting now, there will always be a few vacancies. I will add you in this time."

Bai Kang took off his headphones, nodded and said, "Your new player is really good, it will definitely do well at the Canton Fair.

I will lead the team myself this time, so when you arrive, just come find me. By the way, do I need to arrange a place for you?"

The Canton Fair is just over a month away. Other factories are getting ready to go, but Zhou Xianyang has just registered.

However, Bai Kang had every reason to use the backdoor. Such a good thing should be taken to the Canton Fair, where it would definitely be a success.

He used to be in charge of an electrical appliance factory and had personally led a team to the Canton Fair. How could he not see the benefits of MP3 music players?

"Thank you, uncle. We can find the place ourselves. Feiyang Electric Factory is not short of money now."

"Haha, OK, you did a good job. You have indeed taken over the Feiyang Electric Factory. I'll see you at the Canton Fair."

"Uncle, don't worry."

After Zhou Xianyang finished speaking, he also chatted with Bai Kang about family matters and told him about Bai Qing'an's situation.

Her belly has grown, and it's growing quite fast. After going to the hospital for a check-up, she found out that it's at least twins. Zhou Xianyang is now extremely careful with Bai Qingan.

He not only picked people up and dropped them off at get off work, but also greeted the leaders of the art troupe. He started talking about who his dad and Grandpa Qing'an were, which made the leaders of the art troupe break into cold sweats.

The leaders of the art troupe immediately assured that Comrade Bai Qing'an would never be harmed in the troupe, and temporarily transferred her to a less busy position, except for assigning her a personal secretary.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xianyang left tactfully. Now Bai Kang has a lot of things to do every day.

There is also news about the country's return to the WTO. The Ministry of Foreign Trade has a heavy workload and many people have no vacation, only sick leave.

In this situation, Zhou Xianyang did not bother him. He completed the procedures for participating in the Canton Fair and then said goodbye and left.

------

When driving almost back to the factory, Zhou Xianyang was in a good mood. He planned to go back to the factory to arrange some good things, so he went to the art troupe to pick up Bai Qing'an and go home to celebrate today.

However, just as he arrived at the factory gate, a man suddenly jumped out and blocked Zhou Xianyang's car.

Zhi! !

There was a sudden brake sound, the tires left a mark on the ground, and Zhou Xianyang's head hit the steering wheel.

I am still scared!

Zhou Xianyang was so angry that he rolled down the window and shouted after the car stopped: "What are you doing? You suddenly jumped out and didn't know that there would be a car accident! Are you crazy? "

"Junior, junior, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

The person who was blocking the car ran to Zhou Xianyang's door and apologized, "It's my fault. Are you okay, junior? I was too anxious just now."

"Senior?"

Zhou Xianyang took a closer look and quickly recognized the person in front of him. It was the senior who had worked with him on the website before.

But he stopped doing it after his junior year, and this senior was assigned a job.

"Senior Lin, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop my car?"
