Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 350 Other Abilities, Powerful Woman Arrives
"Fengnian, you're back after just one day? What did the hospital say? Do you want to rest for two more days?"

Gu Wenjie was a little surprised when he heard the news that Zhou Fengnian had returned, and he hurried to his office and said
"The leader asked you this question many times. To be honest, I am ashamed that you are so young and yet you work so hard."

Zhou Fengnian is about the same age as his children, but he works much harder and has achieved completely different results.

If his children had worked half as hard as Zhou Fengnian, Gu Wenjie would have no regrets at all.

"Don't worry, I told my supervisor when I was discharged from the hospital, and I know a little bit of medical skills, so I'm fine now."

Zhou Fengnian said, "Old Gu, I plan to take some time to focus on semiconductors and computers and try to improve two more levels.
And I think we need to increase investment in popularizing computers. We need to invest the money that should be invested. You need to support me in this regard."

Gu Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean? Do you have any new ideas?"

“No, it’s not a new idea, it’s just to increase investment in computer projects.

In the past, universities were subsidized 70% and high schools 90%; now some high school subsidies have been cancelled and the money has been transferred to universities and government agencies.”

Gu Wenjie quickly asked after hearing this: "Didn't you support subsidies starting from high school before? Why did you change?"

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "I support them, but they also need to support me; they all enjoy the subsidies, and then buy and resell them.
This is not an isolated case, it is a common phenomenon. How can I support it when it is like this? "

“Let’s just subsidize universities and government agencies. At least they should have some dignity. If they engage in such behavior and are caught, we can just send them an official letter and scold them.

And I'm talking about increasing it, Lao Gu, by 50% more than before."

Gu Wenjie was surprised when he heard this and said, "Increase by 50%? Last year, Fengnian invested nearly 100 million yuan in subsidies alone. If we have to spend more money today, I'm afraid few people are willing to do it."

More than 100 million may seem like a lot, but if converted into computers, there are less than 70,000 of them, which would not make any difference if dispersed across the country.

Last year, National Tsing Hua University alone purchased 700 computers to support the various laboratory and course needs within the school.

The subsidies from the Shenzhou Computer Factory are so huge that many places want to take advantage of it and buy the computers first, but their applications are stuck.

In some places where electricity is scarce, people just want to buy computers and think about what they can do with them. They just want to resell them for cheap.

However, promotion and popularization are still necessary. Next, we need to focus on identification and promote it to units in need.

"I proposed it, and you supported it. That's enough. Who can object?"

Zhou Fengnian said this with a disdainful curl of his lips, "What can they do with the money? It's nothing more than building a ministry building and a family compound.

It would be fine if it was a family compound built for ourselves, but Lao Gu, I heard that many outsiders have moved into the family compounds of our ministries and commissions."

"Oh, how can this be avoided?"

Gu Wenjie was a little reluctant to talk about this matter. It would be embarrassing if his personal relationships were exposed.

In the past few years, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was considered to be financially well-off, so it passed a decision to build a housing compound for the staff of the ministry.

It was originally a good thing, but after this good thing spread, it turned into a bad thing.

There were nine-story tube-shaped buildings, the smallest of which had two bedrooms and a living room. There were more than 800 apartments in total, but only half of the people in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building enjoyed them, and the rest were occupied by outsiders.

Many of these half of the people were related to each other, so there was a qualified technician who should have been allocated a house but didn't, so he came to Zhou Fengnian.

In the end, Zhou Fengnian drove away a group of outsiders and arranged a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment for him.

Afterwards, Zhou Fengnian went to find the director of the housing distribution office and asked him to deduct more than 80 sets of housing from outsiders and distribute them all to the people of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Zhou Fengnian doesn't do that. He never gave any of his computer factory's buildings to outsiders before. Now, all the staff buildings built by the computer factory are enjoyed by the factory itself.

Now one fifth of the people live in tube-shaped buildings, and there is hope for everyone in the future.

"Then please bring it up as soon as possible, and I will support you when the time comes."

Gu Wenjie said, "I don't have much time left. I will retire in two years. Do you have any ideas for when the time comes?"

If Zhou Fengnian had this idea, he would definitely support it with all his strength, and no one would compete with him for it, nor could anyone compete with Zhou Fengnian.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building is the stabilizer.

But Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "Don't joke, I don't want to be delayed by so many things, you can ask someone else."

He doesn't care who takes the main job, everyone will listen to him anyway.

"Since you're not interested, forget it. I'll ask someone else."

Gu Wenjie then talked to Zhou Fengnian about some other things and left his office.

As soon as Gu Wenjie left, Wang Mingjie came in and reported to him what happened yesterday after Zhou Fengnian was sent to the hospital. He also reminded him to eat on time and to get enough rest recently.

"Okay, I get it, Mingjie. If I forget next time, remember to remind me."

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said, then thought for a moment and asked, "Is Zhong Xingling in charge of the semiconductor processing center now?"

Wang Mingjie said, "No, Professor Zhong retired last year and seems to have been hired by Tsinghua University to teach. It seems that Professor Zhong's student Comrade He Cheng is in charge now."

"Oh, it's him. Please ask him when he is free. Please arrange it for me. I will go there and take a look."

Zhou Fengnian originally wanted to call He Cheng to ask about the development of semiconductors, but he suddenly thought it would be better to go over and find out.

After discussing a lot of development theories with Zhong Xingling, he shifted his focus and paid little attention to the semiconductor center.

After his computer skills were upgraded to level ten yesterday, Zhou Fengnian’s chip-related abilities were also greatly improved, so now he wants to develop semiconductors and chips as well.

Moreover, Zhou Fengnian heard that the semiconductor industry in Xiaori and some other countries seemed to be developing well and was about to catch up with the lithography machine technology that they had replaced a few years ago.

From this perspective, it's time to sell them some.

The price of normal lithography machines from mid-range to high-end ranges from three million to ten million US dollars. Zhou Fengnian decided to give them a little advantage, offering them a one-fifth discount for each type.

If necessary, the price can be reduced by 30%, in order to defeat their lithography machine manufacturers.

However, this still requires more detailed research. Zhou Fengnian plans to bring this matter up after he returns from the Semiconductor Center.

After receiving the order, Wang Mingjie quickly contacted the Semiconductor Center and conveyed the news that Zhou Fengnian was going to conduct research and attend a meeting.

Originally, he should have rested for a while and reduced work after being discharged from the hospital, but Zhou Fengnian now wanted to upgrade his other abilities to level ten as soon as possible to see if there would be any new changes.

Zhou Fengnian was still thinking, if he could upgrade his martial arts to level ten, would internal strength appear?

".Hey, thank you, Director Xiao. I will treat you to a meal when I go to the south."

After he hung up the phone, the smile on Zhou Xianyang's face never stopped.

He had already contacted Xiao Hua, the director of the Shenzhou Computer Branch in the Guangdong Special Economic Zone, and asked him for help with some things, and the other party agreed to everything.

This includes contacting a Hong Kong law firm that specializes in patents. They have business dealings in major developed countries around the world and can shorten the time it takes to apply for a patent by several months.

Now Shenzhou Computer is also sold in large quantities to Hong Kong, so Xiao Hua also knows some people there. After hearing Zhou Xianyang's request, he quickly agreed.

However, this would mean that Zhou Xianyang would have to go there earlier. Fortunately, the factory's technical staff had already made all the adjustments to the modification requests he had made last time.

There's nothing wrong with leaving early, it's just a matter of staying there for a few more days. Feiyang Electric Factory doesn't lack the money for going out now.

"I have to talk to Qing'an and my parents tonight. Let's leave the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Xianyang firmly thought in his heart that the sooner he could deal with the patent issue, the sooner he would feel at ease.

Zhou Xianyang then called the director of the factory office and asked him to find someone for a meeting.

After hearing this, Director Ding of the factory office went down to make arrangements. Now everyone in the factory listens to Zhou Xianyang, and Hong Sanqiang is still in school.

After he finishes his studies, Zhou Xianyang can invest money in Hong Sanqiang to run some small business affiliated with their factory.

In today's era of large-scale factory reform, doing business as an individual business owner has become a necessary reference.

Those who cannot work in factories have almost no choice but to work as street vendors or run their own businesses.

However, individual businesses have become much more open in the past two years. For example, Zhou Weitian and Zhou Jiaan have grown their business so much in the past few years.

Now the director of the sub-district office is not qualified to talk to them. For example, when Zhang Jiaan wants to expand the factory and recruit people on a large scale, the sub-district office cannot do anything, and the district government has to step in.

In the era of economic development, whoever is related to economic development will be the guest of honor.

If the scale is large enough, the mayor can also come forward.

During the meeting, Zhou Xianyang talked about the arrangements for the Canton Fair and selected a few people to go to the south with him.

He basically has the final say in meetings. When he has not made a decision, others can add to it, but if Zhou Xianyang has made a decision, then everyone in the factory can only obey. After all, as the deputy director, he now has absolute power.

". Let's do it this way. The ten people I just mentioned, get ready, prepare all the things you need to bring, and leave with me in a few days."

"I'll buy the train tickets. During my absence, the factory will work hard according to the plan arranged in advance. I will set aside funds for next month's salary payment."

After Zhou Xianyang had made all the arrangements, he dismissed the meeting and asked them to go down and notify people.

After taking over the factory for some time, he found that managing a factory was not that difficult as long as he managed the finances and production. As for the parasites in the factory, Zhou Xianyang was not polite and dealt with them all.

The rest is to continue to develop new products!

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Xianyang picked up his briefcase and prepared to go home. He now had to travel a lot every day.

Not only do I have to pick up my wife, but I also have to pick up my sister.

When Zhou Xianyang heard that his mother Zhou Yan wanted to buy a car, he was so happy that he immediately said he would pay for it.

Now that his mother has a car, he won't have to drive to pick people up every day. In a few days, he will go to the south and will not be back for at least a month. Zhou Xianyang now hopes that his mother can learn to drive during this time.

However, when Zhou Xianyang was driving out of the factory, he suddenly saw an acquaintance at the door, so he stopped the car, rolled down the window and shouted, "Senior, here."

"Xianyang."

When Lin Hai heard Zhou Xianyang calling him, he immediately came over with a smile on his face, carrying something, and said happily: "Xianyang, thank you very much. My job has been transferred to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. I went to report today successfully.
I don't know how to thank you. Last time I heard that your wife was pregnant, I went to buy some baby products to bring back for the child."

Three bags of milk powder and three cans of malted milk, as well as baby hats, clothes, socks, diapers and other things, and two small toys.

They were all children's things, which would cost at least two hundred yuan. There was more than one set of baby clothes alone, filling two large bags.

"Hey, senior, that won't do. I can't accept your gift. If I take it back, my dad will beat me to death."

Zhou Xianyang quickly said that when he was a child, he was not allowed to use his father's name to gain benefits outside, otherwise he would definitely learn a profound lesson.

If he accepts this now, what is the difference between this and using his father's power to make profits outside.

Although this amount is only two hundred yuan and is nothing to the Zhou family now, this loophole cannot be opened.

"Senior, take it back. If I accept your gift, my dad will at least break one of my legs when I go back. This is not a joke, he will really beat me."

When Lin Hai heard that the Zhou family's rules were so strict, he didn't know what to do. However, he didn't have a child yet, so taking the child back himself was not an option.

"Well, then I'll go and return it and give you some fruit? Xianyang, fruit is fine, otherwise I'll feel really bad."

Zhou Xianyang waved his hand and said, "You don't need any fruit. Just work hard in the future. Senior, you are very capable. It would be a waste to send you to Nanyun Province. My dad is helping you because of this. You don't need to send anything."

Then Zhou Xianyang thought about his baby who would be born in four months and would really need baby supplies, so he said, "How about this, I'll buy these things for you, and I'll just ask you to run errands for me."

After taking a quick look, he realized that all these things would cost about two hundred yuan, so Zhou Xianyang took out two hundred yuan from his briefcase and handed it over.

"Thank you for running errands for me today, Senior. I really can't accept the things, but you can buy them. If it's less, then I'll take advantage of you."

"It's not a small amount, and if you buy it with money, it's also a small amount."

"Senior, that's it. Just work hard in the new place. When you get promoted in the future, I may have to rely on you."

Zhou Xianyang smiled and said that this was not an exaggeration. Lin Hai graduated from a computer school, and was from Tsinghua University. Entering the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was like a fish entering a vast ocean.

If you have a good eye, it will be easy to get promoted.

Lin Hai felt a little guilty about the gift-giving becoming errands this time, but if he insisted on giving the gift, Zhou Xianyang would definitely not accept it, so he did as he said and put the gift in the trunk.

Then Zhou Xianyang said goodbye and prepared to leave, as he still had to pick up his sister and wife.

After saying goodbye to Lin Hai, Zhou Xianyang quickly drove to the art troupe, stopped the car and went inside to pick up Bai Qingan.

He has come here too frequently during this period and is very familiar with the security guards. He just needs to say hello when he enters the art troupe.

Now Bai Qing'an's belly is bulging, and she will give birth in five months. Once the child is born, four generations of the Zhou family will live under one roof.

And considering the health of Zhou's father, it is possible that the family can live to the age of five generations.

After leaving the gate of the art troupe, Bai Qingan suddenly said, "Xianyang, I feel like eating hawthorn."

"Still eating? Forget it. Didn't dad tell us not to eat too much hawthorn?"

Zhou Xianyang refused after hearing this: "You eat one pound a day, so you should take your time. I will buy it for you the day after tomorrow. You might as well think about what to eat when you go back tonight."

"Hehe, I've already thought about it. I told Master Yang before I left this morning."

Bai Qing'an said with a smile that she now has the highest status in the family and can eat whatever she wants as long as it is not too excessive, and the whole family will indulge her.

"Oh, I'll be there in two days."

"Hey, you know Lin Hai, right?"

Before Zhou Xianyang finished speaking to Bai Qing'an, he saw a woman standing in front of him, blocking his way, and then questioning him arrogantly.

"Lin Hai. I know you, comrade. Who are you?"

The woman ignored Zhou Xianyang's words and continued to ask arrogantly: "I just saw that Lin Hai was able to be transferred because of your relationship.

If you want to meddle in the affairs between me and Lin Hai, I warn you, it’s best not to meddle in other people’s business, otherwise don’t blame me for punishing you.”

After saying that, the woman saw Bai Qingan's beautiful face and couldn't help but feel jealous. She cursed in a low voice: "Slut!"

"What did you say?"

Zhou Xianyang had good hearing. When he heard this woman scolding Bai Qingan, the urge to fight that he hadn't felt for a long time suddenly came up.

He stepped forward and kicked the woman to the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Qingan rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Xianyang, but Zhou Xianyang didn't plan to kick him a second time. He just pointed at him and warned him, "I'm telling you, watch your mouth. Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman. In my place, men and women are equal."

"Hey, why are you hitting someone!?"

Soon a man came over and helped the woman who was crying out in pain and holding her stomach to her feet. He then angrily scolded Zhou Xianyang, "You know who she is, how dare you do that to her?
You are in big trouble, you know that."

When Zhou Xianyang saw that the man got off a car, he guessed that the man was the driver. He must have seen Lin Hai delivering something to him at Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory just now, and then followed him all the way here.

But Zhou Xianyang didn't care. It was the woman's fault for being foul-mouthed and swearing. It would be fine if she cursed him, but don't blame him for being aggressive if she cursed Bai Qingan.

Then Zhou Xianyang pointed his finger and said, "Fool, do you know who I am? If you don't agree, go back and complain. I don't want to bother with you.

Qingan, let’s go.”

If he didn't have a pregnant wife by his side, Zhou Xianyang would have really argued with this woman today. She used her public power to ruin Lin Hai's future and even had the nerve to come to him for help.

But now his wife is the most important, so after Zhou Xianyang let Bai Qingan get in the car, he also planned to leave.

"Hey, you can't leave. You want to leave after you beat someone up?"

"Stop! Stop right there!"

The driver wanted to stop Zhou Xianyang, but Zhou Xianyang opened the window and yelled, "Get lost. Call the police or file a complaint. It's up to you."

Then he reversed, turned, and drove away.

"Hey, I'm going to sue my dad. This bastard is dead."

After Shi Shuangshuang was helped up by the driver, she couldn't help but scold the driver: "Why didn't you stop him? You just let him go like that, you're really useless!"

The driver kept his head down and helped Shi Shuangshuang into the car without saying a word; how could he stop the car? He couldn't lie on the car.

After Zhou Xiangyang's car drove away for a distance, Bai Qing'an asked, "Who is that woman? Why is she so arrogant right from the start?"

"She is not arrogant at all, she is just arrogant and domineering, relying on the power of her parents to oppress ordinary people at will."

Zhou Xianyang said casually: "I'll tell you when I get back. It's hard to explain right now."

Bai Qingan chuckled and said, "I thought you were going to say dad's name too."

"It's okay to talk about this kind of thing. It's okay even if Dad knows about it. But if I were to bully ordinary people, that would be terrifying."

Zhou Xianyang was terrified when he recalled it: "I would rather have my legs broken than copy the four great classics with a brush again."
