Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 373: The Rat Who Poached
"Our border troops once again smashed the invaders' plot and continued to maintain border security!"

"No invader can infringe upon the defense line of the People's Armed Forces!"

"The Chinese people's patience is limited!"

Immediately after the war ended, newspapers in the city reported the news.

In less than twenty days, they went from making the decision to counterattack to destroying all the command posts of the South Vietnamese monkeys' border troops. It was extremely fast.

After learning the news, Zhou Fengnian went to investigate and saw the internal reporting document, which recorded the detailed process of the border troops' counterattack.

He was really happy after watching it. In less than ten days, he destroyed 80% of the command posts at or above the department level of the South Vietnamese Monkey Regiment, and directly turned them into a headless snake.

The South Vietnamese command post was identified so quickly thanks to the drone that intercepted the radio signals, otherwise it would have been difficult to locate it.

The South Vietnamese monkeys learned from their mistakes and knew that their drones and wireless communications were powerful, but they didn't even strengthen their defenses.

The greatest defense they could muster was to deploy a few anti-aircraft machine guns, but based on their brains, that was probably all they could do.

After all, Amei only provides equipment and not tactical instructors. If it really provides people, regardless of whether it is dangerous or not, if it is discovered, it will definitely fall out with China.

They don't want to fall out with each other for the time being, and they are instigating the two forces of South Vietnam and North Dian in order to cause trouble for China and then fulfill their future plans.

But Amei probably didn't expect that these two groups would lose so quickly; especially the South Vietnamese monkeys. It wasn't a big deal that Beidian lost, and Amei didn't have much hope for them.

As a result, South Vietnam took so many of their military equipment and weapons, and their ordinary soldiers were almost equipped like their army soldiers, but they were defeated in less than ten days.

Although the South Vietnamese troops did not lose many people and most of their soldiers were still there, they lost a lot of commanding officers, and it can be said that the casualties were more than 70%.

Their troops were directly paralyzed and orders could not be conveyed.

Their border troops could be said to have had a great time fighting; they had never fought a battle so smoothly before.

The Spider-1 robot is very useful in the mountains. When Zhou Fengnian was developing its mechanical structure, he had taken into account the extremely complex environment. This time, with the use of new energy batteries, the action time has been greatly improved.

Whether it was a sneak attack or a distraction, their infiltration was very smooth, which brought quite a shock to the South Vietnamese monkeys.

They did not send out any large forces, but relied on small units to sneak in to collect intelligence, then lock on to the enemy's command post, and then call in bombers.

The whole process was characterized by smooth action, as they eliminated the South Vietnamese monkeys as easily as beating their cubs; one second before their command location was bombed, the South Vietnamese soldiers were still studying what the Spider-1 robot was.

"Comrade Fengnian, you have done a great job developing robots and equipment this time. If you develop more in the future, our soldiers will not suffer so many casualties."

A leader of the temporary committee patted Zhou Fengnian on the shoulder happily and said that this battle report was so honorable that it was hard not to be happy.

Zhou Fengnian also smiled and said, "Don't worry, leader. There will be all kinds of robots in the future, even robots that can drill into the ground. By then, the enemy will be caught off guard."

He already has a research and development idea, but the energy and material problems have not been solved. If he really wants to develop a drilling robot, the battery energy must be ten times what it is now to meet the power requirements.

Ten times. It may be difficult to develop it in a short time, but there is hope within twenty years.

After leaving the committee, Zhou Fengnian took a car back to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Everyone on the road was celebrating the crushing of the invaders, and that was indeed the case. The South Vietnamese monkeys were the first to cause trouble. If there had not been provocations on the border, they would not have fought back so decisively.

Only when the South Vietnamese monkeys were stunned by one punch did they dare not continue to provoke them, otherwise the South Vietnamese monkeys would sooner or later drag them into the quagmire of war.

China is developing now. Who has time to play war games with them? We have to resolve this issue as soon as possible!

Zhou Fengnian had just returned to the office of the Fourth Machine Department, and before he could even drink his tea, Wang Mingjie knocked on the door and reported: "Leader, the fifth-generation aircraft project team of the Computer Research Institute has encountered some difficulties. I hope you can take some time to go over."

Now 80% of the technical personnel have been separated from the Technical Department of Shenzhou Computer Factory to re-establish the Computer Research Institute.

Fortunately, the Shenzhou Computer Factory did not undergo restructuring and remained the largest factory directly under the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. The rank of the secretary of the Shenzhou Computer Factory was not low, and the entire technical department was transferred to the Computer Research Institute, where the rank was much higher.

However, not all of them were transferred away. About 20% of the technical researchers were left at the Shenzhou Computer Factory to deal with daily production problems.

After the Computer Institute was restored, Zhou Fengnian took on another position as a party official of the Computer Institute.

However, he cannot go there normally, so the daily work of the secretary is all presided over by the deputy secretary.

Zhou Fengnian now has too many positions, and the key is that it is difficult to cancel any of them. Once they are cancelled, he will be an outsider, and it will be very troublesome to intervene.

"I see. Tell them I'll be there after lunch."

Zhou Fengnian looked at the time. It was almost noon. If he went there he would only be able to catch lunch. It would be better to go there after lunch.

Currently, the only major project of the Computer Research Institute is the fifth-generation supercomputer. His requirement for the fifth-generation machine is a petaflop computing speed. However, this is more difficult and requires collaborative research and development progress.

Other electronic components and semiconductors cannot be left behind, otherwise they cannot be developed; for this purpose, the Computer Research Institute has also formed a project team, with personnel from all parties joining in to jointly report on the progress of research and development.

If this can be completed before the 1990s, it will be a major advancement.

When such a powerful supercomputer is developed, it will definitely drive the common progress of many projects that require computing, and even artificial intelligence will have major breakthroughs.

At Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory, Zhou Xianyang was handling some matters in his office when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

After Zhou Xianyang finished speaking, a clerk from the factory office pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Zhou Xianyang: "Director, the police came to see us and said we were suspected of smuggling."

"What? Smuggling?"

Zhou Xianyang was stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously thought that someone was causing trouble for him, but the means were quite low.

Is there anyone who hasn't found out the relationship between him and the Ministry of Foreign Trade? The former minister was his daughter-in-law's grandfather, and the current Director of the Foreign Trade Department, Bai Kang, is his daughter-in-law's uncle.

He needs smuggling?
Zhou Xianyang said: "Please invite the person in."

Soon, the clerk from the factory office invited three policemen in. Zhou Xianyang knew at a glance that they were not from the nearby police station. He often dealt with the people there and was familiar with them.

"Deputy Director Zhou."

When the leading policeman saw Zhou Xianyang, he nodded and said, "The logistics director of your factory, Xiang Yifei, is involved in illegal smuggling. We have found that the goods involved are worth more than 600,000 yuan. We hope that your factory can cooperate with us in the investigation."

"Xiang Yifei?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xianyang quickly remembered who the man was talking about. He was not from Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory, but he was also the logistics director of Yangfei Electric Appliance Processing Factory; that is, the electric appliance processing factory that owned the property rights of the MP3 music player and completely belonged to him.

That place is responsible for production, and all other external affairs are handled by Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory.

"Comrade police officer, please sit down and talk slowly."

After Zhou Xianyang asked the two policemen to sit on the sofa, he continued to ask: "Xiang Yifei is the logistics director of Yangfei Electrical Appliance Processing Factory, how could he be involved in smuggling?
I have no idea about this matter, and Feiyang Electric Factory has overseas orders, so we don’t need to smuggle at all.”

This statement is not to dispel any ties, but it is ridiculous that they are smuggling, which is like saying that the butcher has no meat to eat.

The police officer who came said: "We know that this was purely Xiang Yifei's personal behavior, and he has been arrested by us.

According to our investigation, Xiang Yifei has been intercepting MP3 music players from your factory's warehouse for a long time, with hundreds of them being intercepted each time. After accumulating them for two months, they are shipped to the south through customs."

Although the ticket system is dying, it is not completely dead yet; since it is not completely dead yet, some commodities are circulated within the plan.

Color TVs, portable music players, MP3 music players, etc. These electrical appliances are either needed for marriage or sought after by young people and are considered hard currency.

Moreover, with the production efficiency of Feiyang Electric Appliance Factory, it is impossible to meet the needs of all places. Although Zhou Xianyang specified that the selling price of the portable music player should be more than 100 yuan, after being delivered to remote counties, it can be sold for more than 200 or even 300 yuan.

As the police officer in front of him finished telling the story, Zhou Xianyang knew the whole process of the incident.

"Fuck you, you are a traitor. Police comrades, I demand that you punish them severely and not let any of them off!"

In total, he ate more than 3 MP music players. This logistics director also contacted the production workshop director of Yangfei Electric Appliance Factory and tampered with the production and delivery data.

If this group had not been arrested, he would still be kept in the dark.

Zhou Xianyang was busy with the energy-storage battery factory some time ago, so he neglected the affairs of the branch factory. However, he felt that there should be no problems with the newly built electrical appliance processing factory.

Unexpectedly, this factory had problems. If Xiang Yifei remembered correctly, it was a relative of his grandfather's.

"Now all the people have been arrested. There are quite a few people involved. Xiang Yifei and his gang also arrested a group of people. There is illegal fundraising."

The policeman from the Municipal Public Security Bureau said: "There will definitely be relevant compensation after the incident, but the case will be transferred to the court at that time."

Zhou Xianyang suppressed his anger and said, "Comrade police, I'll leave this matter to you. Just do whatever needs to be done. I'll find a lawyer to sue in court."

He didn't intend to let anyone off the hook for this matter. His Yangfei Electrical Appliance Processing Factory had only been established for a short time when such a large-scale corruption case occurred.

Not to mention that Xiang Yifei is a distant relative of his, even if they are relatives within the fifth degree of mourning, it is not acceptable.

"Okay, then Director Zhou. We still need your cooperation in calculating the losses and report to us when the time comes."

"I see. I'll call someone to investigate and I'll actively cooperate with your investigation once the results are out."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Director Zhou."

When the policeman said this, he was about to get up and leave, but before he left, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhou Xianyang and said, "Director Zhou, Xiang Yifei said he wants to see you."

Zhou Xianyang refused without a second thought after hearing this: "I don't have the time. A lawyer will come forward for me when the time comes."

It was nothing more than a plea for mercy for the sake of distant relatives, but Zhou Xianyang had no intention of letting these people go.

They made hundreds of thousands of dollars by reselling in just a few months. If he lets them go this time, it will be difficult to manage the factory in the future. Wouldn't he have to keep an eye on it every day?

After rejecting this request, the police comrade left.

Zhou Xianyang immediately called the Yangfei Electrical Appliance Processing Factory and told the person in charge there to check the accounts immediately, and then called his mother Zhou Yan.

After all, Xiang Yifei is a relative from my grandfather's side. If my grandparents come to beg for mercy, my mother will have to come forward to help. Zhou Xianyang doesn't want to let him go easily.

He has always been generous to his employees. He had promised his father that he would do his best to make the people under his responsibility rich, so he raised their wages as soon as he took over the factory.

My salary will increase after I make money, and there are plans for welfare housing as well.

For example, Xiang Yifei only earns 170 yuan a month, which is a lot for a high school graduate, and far exceeds the average annual income of ordinary people in Beijing.

As a result, they poached his employees with high salaries, which made Zhou Xianyang very angry.

After the call was connected, Zhou Xianyang quickly told Zhou Yan what happened, and then expressed his thoughts: "Mom, I don't want to let these people go. If grandpa and grandma ask for mercy, you have to help me!

They didn't do that. I treated them with all my heart, but now they are acting like a rat in my place."

".Okay, if they come looking for you, you can blame it on me and say that I told them to do it."

Zhou Yan was silent for a while and then said, "Don't think too much, Mom supports you!"

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

After saying that, Zhou Xianyang hung up the phone and then rushed to the Yangfei Electrical Appliance Processing Factory angrily.

At the same time, many people were detained in the police station.

If Zhou Fengnian were here, he might have some impression of these people, but only a little; he didn't have much impression of the passers-by from more than ten years ago, especially this group of people.

Machine tool factory area.

Most of the cadres and model workers' families were allocated housing here, and Zhou Xiangde's family was no exception.

He was allocated the house before his retirement. He was an old worker himself and had not only been awarded the title of model worker, but was also Zhou Fengnian's father-in-law.

Not only that, he did not fight or compete in the factory, nor did he rely on Zhou Fengnian's father-in-law to get anything.

So when the welfare building community was completed, one unit was directly allocated to Zhou Xiangde.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Xiangde usually live in a quiet place. Their two sons and one daughter come to visit them from time to time. The only regret Zhou Xiangde has is that his son-in-law rarely comes.

But he also understood that Zhou Feng rarely went home when he was busy, and they could only see each other twice during the Chinese New Year.

But today their house was lively, with several people coming to mourn.
