Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 369 Attend the meeting
Zhou Fengnian will basically be able to go to the Academy of Sciences next term, and once there he will probably be able to serve as a deputy secretary or something, a stable full-time position and treatment.

If Wang Mingjie went with him, he would definitely be promoted to a higher level, but his future scope of work would be uncertain.

If he stayed in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, Zhou Fengnian could transfer him to a certain department, and he could be promoted to a higher level at that time, but he would not be by his side in the future and would have to rely on himself to work hard.

However, he has gotten along very well with Wang Mingjie in recent years. Zhou Fengnian feels that Wang Mingjie is a talent and will promote him if he has the chance in the future.

After explaining the pros and cons to Wang Mingjie, the latter fell into deep thought and was unable to answer for a while.

After following Zhou Fengnian to the cafeteria for a while, Wang Mingjie finally said, "Leader, I still want to stay with you."

"Mingjie, you kid. I said I gave you a choice, but didn't you see that I wanted you to stay in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building? You should go to the Communications Business Department now, and you will be promoted twice in the next few years."

Zhou Fengnian said with a bit of disappointment that this matter involved confidentiality, so he was very careful when he said this.

In fact, he and several other comrades at the same level had never said this, but they all knew that in the future the communications business department would definitely expand to a scale of hundreds of thousands or even more people.

Because there are so many people in the country, and with the steady economic development, wireless communications will definitely develop. Just look at how well the pager has developed.

A department with so many people will definitely be separated, just like the original Mechanical Department.

By then, the communications business department might be on the same level as them. It is unlikely that Pan Heng will become a full-time employee, but at the very least he will be a deputy, and he will jump to Zhou Fengnian's current level.

It is more difficult for others to take this step than to be promoted from zero to a full director. There are many full directors in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, but they were not included when the deputy leadership positions were added last time.

Going to the communications business department now is an opportunity. If you do well, it will be a chance to get promoted. It will be another opportunity when the department is separated in the future.

Wang Mingjie said hesitantly: "But leader. Okay, then I'll listen to you."

He originally wanted to say that after he left, the leader would definitely not be able to take care of himself, but then he thought that there would definitely be a new secretary assistant to replace him, and this was indeed an opportunity.

"It's OK if you think like this. In this environment, who doesn't want to be promoted? Even if you are not interested in the position, it is always good to improve the salary.

There is still a year left, and Pan Heng will definitely need a lot of people to expand his business, so just go and help him."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said that his current salary is pretty good, it has increased from more than 400 yuan a month in the past to 560 yuan a month, which is more than 6,000 yuan a year.

The salaries of civil servants have been increased twice in recent years, but Zhou Fengnian didn't care much. At his level, he could live well even without a salary.

Now they never buy groceries at home. They just tell the nanny what they want to eat and she will buy it for them and ask Chef Yang to cook it on the same day.

Wang Mingjie and Pan Heng were both his secretaries in the past. They were natural allies and he could rest assured to hand over things to each other.

After the communications business department is separated, with the two of them around, Zhou Fengnian won't have to worry about anyone messing up the good development situation.

At noon, after finishing his meal in the cafeteria, Zhou Fengnian didn’t rest for long before asking the driver to take him to Zhonghai for a meeting.

After arriving at Zhonghai, Zhou Fengnian was taken to a conference room. He was not the first one. The meeting time was almost up and almost everyone had arrived.

After seeing the person coming, Zhou Fengnian was certain that it was indeed related to what the newspaper said about South Vietnam and Beidian.

Among the dozens of people attending the meeting, except for him, the rest were able to participate according to regulations, and their positions were basically two levels higher than his.

After everything was ready, the leader slowly spoke: "Comrades, the theme of this meeting is very clear, which is to determine how to deal with the invasion of South Vietnam and the Beidian Kokang Army against us."

After hearing the word "invasion", Zhou Fengnian and other people at the meeting had an idea in their minds and knew how to characterize this incident.

Since it is an invasion, then they are justly fighting against the invasion.

And they chose this time point, so they have to come up with a "beautiful and perfect" answer before October.

Following the leader's lead, people continued to express their opinions, and they all basically gave the same answer: beat him!

But there are many different opinions on how to fight.

Some people think that just like last time, they should eliminate the South Vietnamese border forces and teach them a profound lesson.

After this lesson, South Vietnam will be able to maintain peace for at least a few more years and will not dare to bar its teeth at them for several years.

However, some people think that this is too light. Their military power is not weak now, but their navy's armaments are slightly weaker.

Many of the army's weapons are advanced weapons purchased from the Russians, and they are now researching how to turn them into their own weapons.

The Air Force’s third-generation aircraft have all completed their maiden flights successfully and are being slowly armed.

There are also various information equipment. Isn't it easy to deal with a small country like South Vietnam? We can just take down their capital.

So the other side tended to give South Vietnam a hard time. They also launched a real information war and directly blew up the South Vietnamese command center.

However, the latter proposal was a bit radical. Zhou Fengnian thought it was a good idea, but his rank was not high enough, so theoretically he had no say, and there were few people who supported it.

Although South Vietnam was crazy and indeed despicable, the heads of its government were indeed from a country in the same camp, not capitalism.

It would be too violent and extreme to just wipe out their leadership.

Some comrades believed that Ami might be planning this, hoping that they could wipe out the leadership of the South Vietnamese monkeys in one fell swoop, in exchange for isolating them internationally.

After all, their trade is booming now, their communications business is almost all over Hong Kong, and they are preparing to expand into Southeast Asia.

If the country were to be destroyed at this time, trade with Southeast Asia would basically be cut off.

Even if they are right, it will cause panic among all parties.

There weren't many people who supported it, so even if Zhou Fengnian spoke up, he couldn't make it happen. He felt that China had the strength to do so, but it would be difficult to do so if no one was willing.

After the final discussion, it was proposed to raise the level of lessons learned from South Vietnam based on the results of the previous battle. As for what results and subsequent impacts to be achieved, the troops would have to discuss it again.

As for those people in Beidian, they can just deploy bombings directly. They are just a group of internal rioters, but they have to get the support of the Beidian government as a prerequisite, so that they can have a reputation.

Zhou Fengnian was also assigned a task, responsible for the special optimization and improvement of the Spider-Type 1 robot and drone and information technology support.

When the time comes, he will see what functions are needed on the front line and do whatever he can to help.

The meeting lasted an entire afternoon and a lot of things were summarized. Zhou Fengnian was mainly responsible for the technical support of special robots and war communications.

Zhou Fengnian will be on call for the next period of time, but compared to others, he doesn't have much to do.

The troublemakers are old rivals, with whom we have extensive experience in fighting.

Moreover, robots and drones are designed for this kind of environment, so there is little room for improvement. All that is needed is to create communication equipment that can transmit farther.

However, this time, the South Vietnam Monkey has the support of Amei, and may be able to provide certain support in communication technology. Zhou Fengnian must be prepared in this regard.

If he wanted to compete with them in the strength of communication technology, Zhou Fengnian could only say that the South Vietnamese monkeys were no match, even with Amei's support.

The meeting lasted until the evening before they could leave. Every day after that, Zhou Fengnian would have an additional emergency contact person by his side, who could guarantee that he could be contacted at any time within 24 hours, and the contact person would only go back after the incident was over.

Originally, Zhou Fengnian could stay in Zhonghai for dinner before leaving, but he has grandchildren at home, and he also wants to go back to see them during this period.

Grandparents' affection for grandchildren seems to be a primitive instinct of human beings. When Zhou Xianyang was born, he was not that close to grandchildren, but he was quite concerned about them when he saw his grandchildren.

Now Zhou's father still often calls Zhou Fengnian and asks him to bring his great-grandson back so that they can take care of him in the evening.

However, he was rejected directly. Zhou Yan also liked grandchildren at night, so the two children were kept by him.

What's more, Zhou Fengnian had sufficient reasons. Father and mother Zhou had held their grandchildren all day long, so what was wrong with letting their grandparents look after them for a while at night?
Zhou Fengnian felt a little emotional when he said this. He felt that he still had plenty of energy, but he had become a grandfather.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan came in holding her granddaughter and asked with a smile, "Dad wants to see the child again?"

"Well, asking me to send his child to him in the middle of the night is just asking for trouble. Who would do such a thing?"

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he glanced and saw that his daughter-in-law was holding her granddaughter, looking around with her big eyes.

"My dad is sick."

Zhou Yan suddenly spoke up. Zhou Fengnian was startled when he heard it and asked, "When did it happen? Do you want me to go take a look?"

His medical skills can cure all diseases except for a few terminal illnesses that are currently incurable.

Zhou Fengnian's medical skills are also at level nine, which took him more than ten years of improvement. He personally prepared health-preserving pills every once in a while to improve his medical skills to this level.

If he could upgrade to level ten, Zhou Fengnian felt that he could even cure diseases caused by genetic mutations.

The ability at level ten is so powerful that it is no exaggeration to call him a demigod in this field.

Zhou Yan shook her head and said, "You've been very busy recently. It's just a common cold. I can't handle it at my age, so I've been hospitalized.

I'll go check it out tomorrow, and you can tell Xianyang to send the child over to his parents tomorrow."

Zhou Fengnian's father-in-law is only a few years younger than Zhou's father, and he is not young anymore.

Now their family has a good life. Zhou Kai is now the director of foreign exports of Huaxia Machine Tool Factory, and is considered an upper-middle level leader in the factory, earning more than 200 yuan a month.

You can't make a lot of money, but you will definitely have enough food and drink for the rest of your life. If the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory also reforms in the future, it is possible for you to become a deputy secretary.

Huaxia Machine Tool Factory is still the first heavy industry, and now in addition to producing precision machine tools, it also produces various heavy machinery. Even if it is reorganized in the future, it will be in a better direction.

Zhou Hao is not short of money. He owns a clothing store and an electrical appliance store. He is now worth millions. He lives in a building and drives a car. He often visits people with gifts.

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me immediately. It's easy to spare some time."

Zhou Fengnian reminded Zhou Yan that when he came back today, he told her that he would be very busy for the next period of time, but it happened that his wife's father fell ill.

"Let Xianyang take some gifts to visit tomorrow, and also when Yiyi comes back."

"Row."

------

"Grandpa is sick? Which hospital is he in? I'll go there after get off work."

After Zhou Xianyang asked the person on the other end of the phone, he continued, "Okay, I'll call mom to discuss it later."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xianyang called his grandfather Zhou Fugui again and told him that he would not be picking up the child tonight.

After doing this, he called his mother to ask.

He knew that his mother did not have a good relationship with his grandmother, and it seemed that they had some unpleasantness in the past. However, his relationship with his grandfather was pretty good, and his grandfather was also very good to him when he was a child.

Now that my grandfather is sick, it would be unreasonable not to visit him.

But Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory has a lot of things to do right now. It has been five months since the Canton Fair, and the patent progress for the MP3 music player has been very impressive.

The production efficiency of the branch factory has also gradually improved. It was originally expected that all orders would be completed by March next year, but now it seems that it is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

This saved him three months of time, and Zhou Xianyang has already decided to raise the salaries of front-line workers again next year.

The lowest salary in the factory can be increased to 63 yuan. Although it cannot be compared with the Shenzhou Computer Factory, it is still pretty good.

If the Autumn Canton Fair can get large orders, Zhou Xianyang has decided to provide benefits to the workers by building houses for them.

The contract originally required that workers be provided with adequate welfare benefits, and Feiyang Electric Factory could earn him more than 100 million yuan a year, so building a few welfare buildings was a piece of cake.

The workers' efforts have been rewarded and they have received a lot of welfare benefits. They will strongly support him as the deputy factory director when the shareholding reform comes in the future.

After finishing matters at the factory, Zhou Xianyang drove here after buying some things at the Subdistrict Office during off-get off work hours.

It didn't take long for his mother to come out. However, after Zhou Yan came out of the street office, she walked to his car, opened the door and got in.

"Mom, where's your car?"

Zhou Yan said: "The people from the street office are going to the countryside, so I lent them my car."

Zhou Xianyang asked while driving: "What are you going to do tomorrow? I'll take you there."

"Your dad can give me a ride on the way, too."

"Hey, when I was a kid, my dad never let me ride in the car, but you rode it often!"

Zhou Yan smiled after hearing this and did not respond to her son's words, but did ask him if he had bought anything.

Zhou Xianyang pointed to the back seat, where he bought a lot of milk, bird's nests and various supplements. He sold all those recommended for the elderly.

Enough for his grandfather to drink for three or four months!

After arriving at the hospital, Zhou Xianyang accompanied Zhou Yan to the ward. Now, except for the cadre ward, the best wards were triple rooms.

Zhou Xiangde only had a minor cold, but the family was not short of money. The eldest and second sons could both earn money, and Zhou Yan also gave him some money from time to time, so they could afford his hospitalization.

Zhou Xianyang stayed in the ward for a while, then came out to ask the doctor about his grandfather's condition.

However, when he finished asking and was about to return to the ward, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Director Zhou?"
