Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1195 I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees? (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)
August 8, 1978, 7:50 a.m., at the entrance of Huaxia Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Fang Yan and Meng Jimin walked out of the parking lot together.

Meng Jimin was actually the deputy director of the research institute. Fang Yan was the first person to promote him, but later, with the help of He Puren, and because they were busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, he was not allowed to participate in the work of the research institute.

A few days ago, Deng Nanxing and Xiao Chengzhi said they were very bored, and Fang Yan then remembered Lao Meng.

When I contacted him, he was at home taking care of his child.

When Fang Yan asked him to help manage the research institute, he immediately agreed, even neglecting to spend time with his daughter at home.

Because of his natural affability, Fang Yan has been having him communicate with the people who have just returned these past few days.

As soon as he got off the bus today, he told Fang Yan about the results of their communication over the past few days.

“I’ve had initial contact with these people a few days ago. Apart from a few individuals who have some social difficulties, most of them seem quite easy to talk to. I was initially thinking they might be a bit aloof, but it seems we were overthinking it,” Meng Jimin said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan glanced at him and said:

"Then I'll be leaving the research institute's personnel work to you."

Meng Jimin said:
"No problem, you point and I'll shoot!"

Fang Yan said to him:
"Let me tell you about the composition of today's attendees..."

Meng Jimin said:
"All of them passed the political review and have no black marks on their bodies. There are twelve experts who returned from Beijing, and they are all here. The Ministry of Health has transferred seven top experts from research institutes and universities across the country to their posts. Among them, one is from Shanghai, three from Guangzhou, one from Shenyang, one from Tianjin, and one from Nanjing. The people from the Southwest and Northwest have not yet arrived."

He muttered in dialect:

"Only seven out of thirty people have made it... This is incredibly slow."

Meng Jimin nodded and said:
"Guangzhou has responded the most actively, but not all of them have been in place yet; most people are still going through the procedures."

Fang Yan asked Meng Jimin:
"There are nineteen people in total. Are their professional expertise enough to get all the departments in our research institute running smoothly?"

Meng Jimin said:
"Of course you can, otherwise Lao Zeng wouldn't have notified you."

He asked in dialect:

"Seven top-notch researchers, all with different research areas?"

Meng Jimin nodded:
"Of course! Isn't this absurd? It's like it was planned out of the blue, just in time to get our research institute moving..."

"I think once we assign them positions as department heads, and then deploy some of our returning experts, we can get things moving."

Fang Yan didn't nod. After pondering for a few seconds, he shook his head and said:
"No, that's not how we're going to arrange it."

Meng Jimin was surprised:
"why?"

He asked in dialect:

"Don't you think these seven people are too suspicious? These people happen to be in different departments of the research institute, and they were the first to return. They can directly become department leaders?"

Meng Jimin was taken aback. After a moment's thought, he lowered his voice and said:
"You're saying... that Director Sun arranged this on purpose?"

Fang Yan shook his head:
"We can't just make things up, but we've said before that our research institute values ​​ability."

"Let's see what they're capable of today. If the returnee experts we find are capable, then it's fine to let them manage it."

Meng Jimin shook his head and said:

"That's impossible. Don't you think that they were top talents in their original units? Returning experts are still slightly inferior. This has been confirmed by Lao Zeng and me. Top experts are indeed different."

He said in dialect:

"We'll know whether it's a mule or a horse once we take it out for a spin."

"I happen to have work to do today."

……

Next, Fang Yan and Meng Jimin arrived at the research institute.

The meeting room on the second floor was now fully occupied, including Huang Li, Zeng Luquan, and Jin Shiyuan from the management team, as well as Zhao Xiwu, the vice president of the research institute.

He's here today to keep things under control.

Nineteen experts sat in the other seats, all wearing white lab coats from the research institute.

They wore name tags with their photos on them.

Their ages range from approximately 40 to 50.

When Fang Yan and Meng Jimin entered the room, everyone's eyes turned to them.

Fang Yan is the youngest person here, but he is the highest leader of the research institute. Everyone looks at his somewhat immature face with different expressions.

"Director Fang, this is the list." Huang Li handed the list to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan noticed that the list was arranged according to top experts and returning experts. There were nineteen people in total. Fang Yan glanced at the list, then scanned the entire room before saying:

"Let's take attendance first."

After he finished speaking, he began to call out names:
"Shen Yanzhi!"

"Here!" One of the people below stood up and responded.

However, he was clearly somewhat surprised.

Because the roll call is conducted in a dialect, the experts who have returned to their hometowns are called first.

Then the dialect continued to shout:
"Luo Zhengyi!"

“Here!” The second returnee expert stood up.

"Chen Shoupu!"

"Have!"

"Dong Yannian!"

"exist!"

"Wu Qiyuan!"

"To!"

"Zheng Shaotang!"

"exist!"

"Yang Bingyi!"

"Have!"

"Xu Mansheng!"

"Have!"

“Li Qingwu…”

Nineteen names were called out one by one in dialect, and everyone obediently responded.

All the experts who had returned from Beijing were interviewed.

Then Fang Yan started to point out the seven top experts.

"Qin Guantao!" Fang Yan called out, looking down at the audience.

This person is from Shanghai.

“Yes!” A thin, bespectacled man stood up.

Then, Fang Yan specifically mentioned the Guangzhou trio.

"Huang Mingshen!"

"Kwong Shou-zhen!"

"Xian Molin!"

Then there's Helian Zhang from Shenyang, Cui Jingzhou from Tianjin, and Jiang Yansheng from Nanjing.

After they finished ordering, Fang Yan gave a brief greeting to everyone and then began to explain their current task.

He said in dialect:

"We now have several secret formulas provided by Professor Deng Tietang's team in Guangzhou. Our main task now is to select flagship products that meet international standards and prioritize formulas that are 'fast-acting and highly safe' based on market demand. We aim to complete the initial research plan within one month."

"Everyone here is a top talent. The position of department head in our research institute is awarded to the most capable. Whoever's solution passes international certification and goes into production first will be promoted!"

"We need to ensure that the research can be quickly translated into practical applications, avoiding mere theoretical discussions. All experts submit progress reports every day."

"Now I will conduct the initial grouping."

"This grouping is not based on departments, but is integrated into two groups. Each group is responsible for a problem-solving plan. I will arrange the positions. During this period, I will observe all of you. New personnel will be added during the problem-solving process. After the research results are released, I will give you a score, and then assign you your respective work positions, as well as technical bonuses."

After he said that, everyone looked at each other in surprise, none of them expecting him to use this kind of dialect.

In dialect, it is said loudly:
"I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

PS: I got another 100 monthly votes, so after finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 34000 words.
