Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 370 Dad, You've Implicated Me

Zhou Xianyang looked back and found that the person calling him was a man who looked familiar.

After thinking about it, he remembered who this person was.

"You came to my factory some time ago."

"My name is Ren Zheng. We were also provoked some time ago."

Ren Zheng walked up to greet him and said, "My friend, we are acquainted after fighting. We were foolish and greedy at the beginning. Let's get to know each other today."

When Zhou Xianyang saw the man extending his hand, he didn't want to pay any attention to him; if someone came up to him and tried to steal your property without saying anything, what good could it be?

He is probably a spoiled second generation, but he hasn't done anything out of line, otherwise he would have been eating peanuts a few years ago.

But this person took the initiative to make peace. If he turned his face away and ignored him, he would have gained another enemy.

"Comrade Ren, I remember now that our last conversation was purely a misunderstanding. If we had known each other earlier, we might have been drinking together by now."

Zhou Xianyang also said what he wanted to say to different people. He shook Ren Zheng's hand and said with a smile, "If I hadn't accompanied my mother to visit grandpa today, I would have had a drink with Comrade Ren today."

Ren Zheng was stunned and said, "A family member is sick? That's really not the right time. By the way, do you want me to make a call to arrange it? My cousin is the vice president here."

Zhou Fengnian is in his prime, and he specifically inquired about him when he went home last time; this kind of person has made continuous contributions and has countless honors, and can be said to be a national treasure.

In those years, he fought here and there without any scruples, and now nothing can be done to him. Unless it is a crime of treason, Zhou Fengnian is inherently right.

Moreover, he may be promoted to a higher level in the next term. By that time, Zhou Fengnian will still be in his forties. If he is willing, that position is unlikely to be his as he has no grassroots experience, but he can basically choose other positions.

After hearing this, Ren Zheng had no thoughts at all; he really didn't dare to mess with such a senior leader who was in his prime and had the potential for promotion.

What's more, he was not in the right and wanted to seize other people's factory. He didn't even dare to tell his family about this, because if he did, he would have one of his legs broken.

Zhou Fengnian smiled and refused, "Don't bother, it's just a minor cold. If I recover quickly, I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Okay then. If you need help, call the doctor and find Vice President Zhao. Just say that he is my friend, Ren Zheng. He will definitely help."

After saying this, Ren Zheng paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and continued to say to Zhou Xianyang: "Brother Zhou, last time the three of us didn't know about you at first, but then we were moved by what a bastard said.

Later we thought that this kid must have said it on purpose for us to hear, and we three brothers realized what was going on and gave him a lesson.”

"There is such a thing? Who is that person?"

Zhou Xianyang frowned slightly after hearing this. It seemed that he had quite a few enemies. His parents had come to the school several times because of fights in elementary school. Later, he was taken to the police station for fights in college.

"His surname is Xue, his name is Xue Zhi, and his father is Zhang Minglin, a director of the Finance Bureau."

Zhou Xianyang was startled when he heard this and asked, "His father's surname is Zhang, why is he called Xue Zhi? Could it be..."

"It's just as you think, brother. His father married into the family. His grandfather Xue Zhengli was once exiled. He may have had some influence on his revival some time ago."

Ren Zheng said with disdain: "If his grandfather hadn't gone, Xue Zhi would have been able to stay in the same circle with us, but now it's no longer possible. Before, we took him out to play just to give him face.
But I knew this guy was plotting against us, so after I taught him a lesson, I rarely saw him anymore. Xue Zhi, that bastard, is different from you, Brother Zhou."

Both the Zhou family and the Bai family are in full swing. Although the old man of the Bai family has stepped down, Bai Kang is not bad either. He will have the opportunity to reach the level of old man Bai in the future.

Zhou Xianyang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I know about this. If there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, Brother Ren, just come find me."

He didn't know Xue Zhi. None of the people he had beaten had the surname Xue. He didn't know when he had offended such a sinister person.

But it's also possible that they came purely for his Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory. It's also possible that Xue Zhi instigated these three to serve as the vanguard.

Ren Zheng said with a delighted look after hearing this: "Okay, it's just a coincidence today. I'll have dinner with you later when I have time, Brother Zhou."

'You really know how to climb up the ladder'

Zhou Xianyang didn't say this, he just smiled and saw Ren Zheng off.

Only after watching Ren Zheng leave did Zhou Fengnian return to the ward.

Zhou Yan had just finished peeling the apple at this time, and turned around to ask, "Why did you go out for so long?"

"I ran into an acquaintance and asked about my grandfather's condition. The doctor said that there was nothing serious and he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Zhou Xianyang then continued, "Grandpa, don't drink alcohol when you are old."

"understood."

Zhou Xiangde felt a little embarrassed. This time it was his fault for drinking too much, otherwise he wouldn't have been hospitalized.

After staying for a while, the mother and son got up and prepared to leave.

While driving back, Zhou Xianyang was still thinking about what Ren Zheng said. This kid's attitude of taking advantage of the situation was too obvious. He probably wanted to get some benefits from him.

He had heard a little about the temperament of these second-generations, and a group of them who had violated laws and disciplines were executed in the past few years.

These people are now strictly controlled and dare not do anything illegal. They want to make money but don't know where to start. That's why they come to him jealously after seeing his Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory making a lot of money.

Even the Industrial Bureau was jealous, let alone them; these days, a household with an annual income of 100,000 yuan was extremely rare and could be called a wealthy family.

Feiyang Electric Factory earns 100 million a year!
The money earned in an honest way is clean and can withstand inspection. Who wouldn't envy it?

Now there are many people who want to get on Zhou Xianyang's train, and many people come to Feiyang Electric Factory every day, but they are all rejected by Zhou Xianyang.

Now he just needs to develop step by step. Although most of the money he earned this year was spent, Zhou Xianyang still acquired nearly half of the shares of the energy storage battery factory.

Next year, I will run the electrical appliance factory well and then collect the dividends from the energy-storage battery factory.

"What are you thinking about? You're so absent-minded. Pay attention when you drive."

Zhou Yan asked, "Your father often says that female drivers are distracted while driving. Why are you like this too?"

Zhou Xianyang came back to his senses and said quickly, "Something about the factory. Last time, a jerk gave me trouble. Now I know who it is. I'm thinking about whether I should talk to Dad about it."

"Who?"

After Zhou Yan asked, she reminded him, "Your father is very busy recently. The project he is busy with is very important. If it is not important, don't bother him for now."

"He was busy that time, it's not important? But never mind, it's for the country and family, I understand."

Zhou Xianyang curled his lips and said that he had been used to it since he was a child. Zhou Fengnian had never attended parent-teacher meetings and sometimes he wouldn't be seen for a month.

"Mom, you happen to work in a government agency, maybe you know someone named Xue, Xue Zhi, his father is Zhang Minglin from the Municipal Finance Bureau."

“We have never dealt with them. We usually deal with the district government and do not report to higher authorities.”

Zhou Yan thought for a while and shook her head, saying that this surname made her a little unhappy, but she really had no impression of the surname Zhang.

Zhou Xianyang said casually: "Then I'll ask about it myself some other day."

------

Zhou Fengnian became busy from the day after the meeting. Time was too tight, with only twenty days left until October, and the border was already formulating tactics and anticipating results.

As the person in charge of the new equipment, he also had to prepare the first batch of supplies and send them to the border within three days.

Fortunately, they had prepared a lot of drones and communication equipment in normal times, and after the emergence of digital communications, they also developed a batch of special equipment for the troops.

There are also equipment that can interfere with communication radars. Wireless communication factories have previously manufactured a number of them for special use by the military.

As long as the South Vietnamese monkeys use the wireless communication equipment supported by Amei, their equipment will definitely interfere with the signal transmission.

What we lack now is the Spider Type 1 robot. We said before that it lacked practical experience, but now the opportunity has come.

Exercises are just exercises after all, and only actual combat can test the effectiveness of the Spider-1 robot.

Originally, Zhou Fengnian didn't need to rush to the border for this matter, but a general who was going to the front line asked Zhou Fengnian if he wanted to go with him, which made Zhou Fengnian a little tempted.

He really wanted to go to the front line and see for himself the coordination tactics of the Spider intelligence robots and drones, and then make improvements.

However, the leaders of China Overseas firmly opposed this matter.

They would agree to leave Sijiu City to return to Hongjia Village, or to inspect the construction site of a nuclear power plant.

As long as the China Sea Guard Bureau is prepared in advance, most of the dangers can be prevented.

But it’s different on the front line. They know that there is a bald eagle causing trouble behind the scenes, so they will definitely not let Zhou Fengnian go to the front line.

If anything goes wrong during Zhou Fengnian, their losses will be huge.

The application was not approved, and Zhou Fengnian had to stay in Sijiu City.

Judging from the current situation, it will be unlikely for Zhou Fengnian to travel domestically in the future, even after retirement.

Unable to go to the front line, he could only ask the personnel who went to the front line to transmit back all the records of the cooperation between the Spider-Type 1 robot and the drone.

China's information warfare system only lacks reconnaissance satellites in space, which will be completely perfected in a few years.

By then, their access to information and intelligence will most likely not be inferior to that of the United States, and they will leap to a level unmatched in conventional warfare.

What is lacking next is air and sea supremacy.

Zhou Fengnian could step in and help, but being too distracted would be bad for the industry he was originally responsible for.

He still needs to get involved in projects such as semiconductors and computers, and he also has a nuclear power plant construction project, so the foreigners are keeping their eyes on this.

If something went wrong, they might make a big announcement that China's nuclear power plants were dangerous and there was a risk of leaking something.

With this kind of propaganda, half of China's achievements in joining the TAIF and reform and opening up have been wasted; people are so scared that they dare not come, so what is the point of opening up?

So now at the nuclear power plant, every time a section of construction is completed, the detailed process and pictures will be sent back so that Zhou Fengnian can inspect it before continuing.

At critical moments, Zhou Fengnian would go to the scene to keep an eye on it to prevent any accidents.

one night.

The door of the Zhou family villa was quietly opened, and then Zhou Fengnian walked in quietly.

It's already early morning, and he just came back from work. He has finished all the recent things that needed to be done, and the last batch of things that needed to be monitored has also entered the production process.

"Dad, you came back so late today."

Such a voice suddenly rang out in the living room, which frightened Zhou Fengnian. When he reacted, he found that it was Zhou Xianyang, who said with a pale face.

"Why don't you go back to bed so late? You don't even turn on the light. Are you waiting to scare me?"

"Look at what you said. You're my dad. Why would I scare you?"

Zhou Xianyang stood up and walked over and said with a smile: "I was thinking about something just now, and fell asleep while thinking, and was woken up by the sound of you opening the door."

"You still blame me, why don't you go back to your own home?"

“This is my home!”

Zhou Xianyang said confidently, then asked with a smile: "Dad, are you sleepy? If not, can we chat?"

Zhou Fengnian glanced at his son, then instructed him, "I'm a little thirsty. Go get me something to drink."

"Okay, don't drink tea so late at night. There's juice in the refrigerator. Drink this."

"How filial! Letting a grandfather like me drink an iced drink."

After a while, Zhou Xianyang not only brought some snacks, but also two bottles of ice juice. Neither he nor his father drank alcohol, but Zhou Xianyang liked to drink beverages.

After putting down the snacks, Zhou Xianyang threw a peanut and asked, "Dad, are you done with your work this time?"

"Not yet. Don't ask these questions. If you accidentally reveal them, it will be considered a mistake, so it's better not to know them from the beginning."

Zhou Fengnian warned, "Why are you beating around the bush with me? I even knew you were naked when you were a kid. Is there any point in beating around the bush with me?"

"Why are you talking about this? I'm already so old!"

Zhou Xianyang quickly avoided the topic. He already had a son, and it was embarrassing to talk about this anymore.

"When I went to the hospital to visit my grandfather a few days ago, I met the third generation of the people who came to my factory last time. They want to cooperate with me."

"cooperate?"

"To put it nicely, it's called cooperation. To put it bluntly, it's just trying to get some benefits. I gave them a batch of MP3s produced in my factory at a low price and let them handle it themselves."

Zhou Xianyang sighed and continued, "The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. Just treat it as getting rid of the little ghost."

Nowadays, MP3 music players are considered hard currency among electrical appliances, and are harder than computers and color TVs in China.

You can make money by reselling it, and it is very difficult to buy.

Feiyang Electric Factory has foreign orders, so the production allocated to the domestic market is very small, and it is basically difficult to get one.

But many people like this, it is more popular than portable music players. They resell them in batches and can easily make fifty or sixty yuan from one MP3 player.

If he gives them one thousand every month, he can earn fifty or sixty thousand. For Zhou Xianyang, it is not a loss. He can even make money, just a little less.

With a legitimate business worth five or six hundred thousand a year, Ren Zheng was so happy that he almost formed a sworn brotherhood with Zhou Xianyang.

But there are also benefits. After Ren Zheng made money from him, he also helped him a lot.
After listening to this, Zhou Fengnian said, "You have already made your decision, why are you still talking to me? Isn't this good?"

"Dad, didn't you understand? I was implicated by you in the beginning."

Zhou Xianyang laughed and said, "I haven't told my mom about this. Do you know who Xue Zhi is who is causing trouble for me?
He is Xue Peihua's son. Tell me, have I been implicated by you as his father?"
