Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 382 Promotion Passed
After a peaceful and relaxing New Year, Zhou Fengnian took a short break for a few days and then returned to work.

The Robotics Research Institute has completed negotiations with FAW and will help the company build some new semi-automated workshops. Industrial robots will mainly perform assembly and welding tasks, while the rest of the work will need to be completed by workshop workers.

However, this would already greatly improve production efficiency. Yang Tianbing knew this and immediately agreed to let the Robotics Research Institute help them design a semi-automated production workshop and purchase industrial robots from them.

The entire handover will take a year, during which time the Robotics Research Institute can earn seven or eight million, which is a good extra income.

After the New Year, Zhou Fengnian assigned them new R&D tasks, and each group had new R&D projects.

Robots are an important part of the future development plan. Zhou Fengnian has never neglected this aspect and has never lacked research funds. If there is a shortage, he will personally go to the Academy of Sciences to report and ask for it.

However, in the two months after the New Year, Zhou Fengnian's work was more about "handover", and the news of his transfer gradually spread.

Many cadres were transferred this year, with a group of old cadres retiring and a group of new cadres taking office. However, Zhou Fengnian was doing a good job but he had to be transferred, which made many people in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building a little confused.

His contributions can be said to be real. Even Sun Gongran, a colleague who dislikes Zhou Fengnian a little, only hates Zhou Fengnian and Gu Wenjie for suppressing him together, but deep down he still likes Zhou Fengnian's ability to get things done.

He has handled so many projects. In less than ten years since he came to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, he has developed the ministry to its current scale. Sun Gongran even doesn't want Zhou Fengnian to leave.

After all, Zhou Fengnian's departure would have a greater impact on him than if he stayed in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, so it would be better for him to stay; when major projects are completed in the future, he will be able to have some influence on them, but once he leaves, he will not be able to have any influence on them.

dong dong!

Wang Mingjie knocked on the door and walked in, reminding Zhou Fengnian, "Leader, it's almost time for the meeting."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Fengnian stood up and walked out after he finished speaking. Today's meeting was mainly about personnel appointments within the department. Those who were below the level would be promoted through internal approval within the department, while those with higher levels would have to report to the Organization Department and then wait for selection.
The highest level to be discussed today is the director at the bureau level, which has little to do with Zhou Fengnian, so he just needs to mention it when the time comes.

His goal today was to transfer Wang Mingjie to the communications business department.

After arriving at the conference room, Gu Wenjie arrived early. When he saw Zhou Fengnian walk in, he waved and said, "Fengnian is here, please take a seat."

After Zhou Fengnian sat down, he casually said, "Comrade Wenjie, Comrade Han, you came really early."

Han Hui said, "Comrade Fengnian and I were just around the corner. You came right after we sat down. Comrade Gongran will be here soon. He was still arranging things when I arrived. Comrade Yifeng, oh, you are all here."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Gongran and Luo Yifeng walked into the meeting.

Those who came to attend the meeting today were still senior officials from the ministries and commissions. In addition to them, there were also cadres at the department and bureau level. Pan Heng was also there, but he would be leaving next week.

After the communications business department contacted two countries in Southeast Asia last year, the other party has agreed to allow them to operate communications business locally.

Those small countries do not have their own research and development base, so they can only use high-end technology from abroad.

Digital mobile phones and digital communications are currently only used by Chinese businesses. If you don’t use them, you can only watch Hong Kong people use them.

Digital mobile phones are far more convenient than brick-like mobile phones, and big businessmen in many Southeast Asian countries have a lot of say, and a little lobbying can promote the introduction and operation of digital communications.

At the end of last year, two countries had expressed this intention. Next week, Pan Heng will go back to discuss the final agreement with the other party, and it won’t take long to develop the telecommunications business to those two countries.

The meeting began after everyone arrived. Gu Wenjie still chaired the meeting, but it might be the last time.

The first thing to talk about is the personnel transfer discussion. This time there are more than 30 personnel transfers.

When talking about other people, Zhou Fengnian basically did not express his opinion. He had not been in charge of much work in the department before and did not know much about their performance in the past year.

Apart from agreeing to the promotion and transfer of those cadres approved by Gu Wenjie, Zhou Fengnian remained basically silent on the transfer of other cadres, either abstaining or going with the flow.

More than 30 people, including Wang Mingjie, finished speaking quickly, and Wang Mingjie's mobilization was considered a success.

He was promoted one level to deputy director of the communications business department. If he performs well, he will definitely be promoted further. However, they will no longer have a backer like Zhou Fengnian in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Although there is no clear news that Zhou Fengnian will be transferred, judging from his performance, it is no longer a surprise.

It's just that his rank is too high, so this matter needs to be brought to the leadership committee.

Apart from personnel transfers, other matters are not very important. The fiscal budget and major projects after the new year are all discussed and brought up for discussion.

After the meeting, Zhou Fengnian also stood up and prepared to leave. Pan Heng trotted after him and said with a low smile, "Leader, I'll go to your place for a cup of tea."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile: "Haha, come on, but the new tea hasn't come down yet, I only have the old ones."

"Even if the leader's tea is old, it must be good tea."

Pan Heng said this without any disdain. He knew Zhou Fengnian liked tea. Even the second-rate tea for entertaining guests was very rare outside.

Zhou Fengnian always drank the best tea quietly by himself.

After arriving at his office, Zhou Fengnian asked Wang Mingjie to pour tea: "Mingjie, go prepare some tea and prepare a cup for yourself."

"I understand, leader." Wang Mingjie said and went to make tea. After the tea was served, he also sat on the sofa.

Having followed Zhou Fengnian for a long time, he knew that this leader was usually easy-going and did not care about any rules. As long as the tasks assigned to him were done, even joking with him was fine.

"Mingjie, your transfer is basically confirmed. Ask Pan Heng more often in the communication business department. I'll give you a hint. The communication business department will most likely be independent in the future. You will be promoted one level at that time."

When Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, his voice was a little low: "It won't be too far away. Five years at the earliest and eight years at the latest. By then, it will become an independent department directly under Zhonghai."

Five years later, the communications business department is expected to expand to most of Asia, and all communications businesses in Southeast Asia, East Asia and other countries will be operated by China.

It will certainly develop into dozens of cities in the country, and the number of people operating the communications business alone may exceed 60,000.

With such a large number of people, it is impossible for the Zhonghai leadership to continue to let the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building be in charge.

After listening to this, Wang Mingjie nodded quickly and said, "I understand, leader. Although I am not very familiar with the communication business, I will seriously learn from Director Pan."

Pan Heng also said at this time: "Don't worry, leader. After Mingjie has studied with me for a while, he can go to Shanghai to manage the local and Xiao Rizi's communication operations."

The two of them are natural allies. Both of them were Zhou Fengnian's secretaries, so it is only natural for them to help each other in the future.

Moreover, Zhou Fengnian was promoted, not transferred horizontally or demoted; although he is gone, his influence remains, and the place he went to has even greater influence than the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

The Academy of Sciences coordinates major national scientific and technological projects, with a coverage far exceeding that of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. In theory, it can guide all major projects of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

It’s just that Zhou Fengnian was there before, and the projects he was in charge of basically did not need anyone to direct them, and he himself was also a member of the Academy of Sciences.

Zhou Fengnian said: "Mingjie, pack up tomorrow and go to the communications business department the day after tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the work in advance."

Wang Mingjie was surprised to hear this and asked, "Leader, what about you here? I have to wait until you leave the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building before I go to the Communications Business Department."

"I don't have much to take care of here. I've already pushed the matter out. Next I'll be following up on the R&D project, which may require me to stay in the institute for a long time."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, my appointment was much later than yours, so you can still give up your work and not go to work?

Hurry up and get ready. The ministry office will send me a temporary liaison officer."

"Then leader, I will prepare it tomorrow."

Wang Mingjie agreed. Since his leader said so, he had no choice but to obey orders.

He just needs to follow the procedures within the ministry at his level and take up his post when the deadline comes. He can also go earlier if he gives a heads up. Anyway, it's a done deal and there won't be any accidents.

During the time of drinking tea, Zhou Fengnian also talked a lot with Pan Heng.

There is still room for further research into digital communication technology, as well as mobile phones, and we can even set up a dedicated research center.

After Zhou Fengnian goes to the Academy of Sciences, this matter will also be put on the agenda.

The three of them chatted for more than an hour. When it was time for lunch, they went to the cafeteria to eat together. Then Zhou Fengnian let them go about their own business.

Zhou Fengnian quickly called the office in charge of secretarial work, told them that Wang Mingjie was about to take up the post, and asked them to send him a temporary liaison officer.

Leadership Committee Meeting.

Those who can convene their meetings are basically the full-time cadres of various departments. If they are promoted one level higher, they can participate in their meetings.

".The next step is the appointment of Comrade Zhou Fengnian. If there are no objections, he will be transferred to the Academy of Sciences.

But some of his concurrent duties can be relieved, except for those major projects, the others are a bit inappropriate. "

Another person nodded and said, "That's right. Comrade Zhou Fengnian has many concurrent posts. It is unnecessary for him to be the director of the Robotics Research Institute. He can directly manage it after he goes to the Academy of Sciences."

"What about the backup player? Should we give him a promotion this year?"

"Go ahead. It's reasonable to reuse such a comrade. Professionals should be responsible for professional matters. His previous move to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was a mistake. He should have gone to the Academy of Sciences long ago."

"It's not a wrong move. He is the one who made Shenzhou Computer Factory develop so well. But he really shouldn't be asked to do non-scientific research matters. It's not appropriate."

Several leaders at the meeting commented on Zhou Fengnian, saying that although he was a little young, his contributions could not be overstated.

If this kind of comrade is not promoted, then there is no need to promote all other comrades; in other words, if he is ranked second, who would dare to be ranked first?

There was no objection to Zhou Fengnian's transfer and promotion, and it was all approved within ten minutes.

Next, the position will be publicized for half a month, and then you can take up the position after the documents are issued.

Although he was the vice president in the past, he was also the vice president for scientific research and was responsible for the construction of many major projects, which can be regarded as a true professional match.
