I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

The next morning, Yan Jiefang personally visited Minister Wang at the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Of course, he couldn't just go there directly. Instead, he first went to Factory 774 and got a letter of introduction from the factory director before returning.

"Hello, I am Yan Jiefang, a former level 11 technician from Factory 774 and a former Olympic champion. I am requesting to visit Minister Wang. This is my letter of introduction."

Yan Jiefang stood outside the window of the armed police guardhouse and handed the letter of introduction to the guards inside.

As the other party examined the letter of introduction, Yan Jiefang found the other party increasingly familiar.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: Isn't this Minister Wang's bodyguard, Xiao Liu? How did he become the gatekeeper here?

Something must have gone wrong here!

It's also his own fault. He was so focused on getting a letter of introduction so he could come over sooner that he forgot to ask the factory manager about Minister Wang.

The other security guard next to Xiao Liu glanced at the letter of introduction in Xiao Liu's hand, then looked at Yan Jiefang with a somewhat serious expression:

"Comrade Yan, Minister Wang retired in 84. Didn't your factory director tell you?"

Upon hearing his colleague's question, Xiao Liu glanced at the letter of introduction a few times, then immediately returned it, giving Yan Jiefang a meaningful look:

"Comrade Yan, Minister Wang has indeed retired due to illness. He is currently recuperating at the **** Sanatorium. You should be able to see him if you go there at this time."

Yan Jiefang was startled: Hadn't I already prepared enough medication for him?

He estimated that the drug would definitely be tested, so he specially prepared three extra pills.

Even if these three pills are wasted due to the examination, the remaining ones will definitely be enough to cure Minister Wang's illness.

Why are you sick again now?

Yan Jiefang ignored the other person and nodded to Xiao Liu:

"Thank you for letting me know. I'll go to the **** Sanatorium to see Minister Wang right away."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After he left, some of Xiao Liu's colleagues blamed him and began to criticize him:

"Xiao Liu, you used to be Minister Wang's bodyguard, how could you so easily give Minister Wang's address to someone of unknown origin?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, defending Yan Jiefang:

"Team Leader Zhang, Yan Jiefang isn't an outsider. He's met the minister a few times before, and they have a good relationship."

It's understandable that I might not be aware of the changes within the department these past few years, likely due to my participation in the Olympics and my busy training schedule.

Hearing what Xiao Liu said, Captain Zhang didn't say anything more, but just gave him a meaningful look.

No wonder the development of radio-related fields in China has slowed down in recent years; the root cause is here.

Yan Jiefang returned to Factory 774 and inquired about these matters in detail with the factory director.

This time he used a guiding approach instead of making direct demands like last time.

The factory manager lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying to him:

"Comrade Yan, it's not easy for you to see Minister Wang."

Minister Wang's health has been poor for the past few years, and he rarely sees outsiders.

"How about this, I'll make an appointment with Minister Wang's secretary, Secretary Li, and see what he says."

Yan Jiefang nodded:

"Factory manager, please."

The factory manager took out his cell phone and dialed Secretary Li's number.

"Hello, who is this?"

A deep voice came from the other side.

The factory manager immediately composed himself and spoke in a somewhat ingratiating voice:

"Secretary Li, it's me, Zhang**, the factory director of Factory 774. I need to ask you for a favor."

Please speak with Minister Wang. Comrade Yan Jiefang, a level 11 technician from our factory, wants to visit him.

Comrade Yan had met with Minister Wang several times before, and he...

Before the factory manager could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party:

"Level 11 technician? Comrade Zhang, how could you be so confused?"

Minister Wang is in poor health, how could he have time to see this damn level 11 technician?

Go down and think about it carefully yourself!

With a "beep" sound.

The call was then disconnected.

Factory Director Zhang looked at Yan Jiefang, his face full of helplessness:

"Comrade Yan, you've seen what happened. It's not that I don't want to help, but Secretary Li simply refused to meet with me. Perhaps you could think of another way?"

Yan Jiefang nodded to Director Zhang:

"Thank you so much, Director Zhang, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me. I'll be going now."

He was about to leave when there was a knock on the office door, which was then pushed open.

She is the factory director's secretary.

The secretary glanced at Yan Jiefang, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Yan Jiefang looked at him and his eyes gleamed with gold.

Then, without further hesitation, the secretary spoke directly:

"Factory Manager, the negotiation team from Panasonic, the island nation, is already waiting in the conference room. When would you like to go?"

Factory Director Zhang looked at Yan Jiefang:

"Comrade Yan, I have an important meeting. Please make yourself at home."

Yan Jiefang nodded:

"You're busy, I'll head back now."

After saying that, he turned and left.

However, after driving the 212 outside the factory, he didn't go far, but parked it directly on the side of the road.

Then, he transformed into a wisp of green smoke and headed straight for the conference room.

He wanted to know what these island companies were doing here.

"Director Zhang, what's your decision?"

All you need to do is send us a copy of all the technical information you have regarding radio.

We will exchange them using the more advanced color picture tube production lines available today.

One production line isn't enough? We can add another one!

This way, neither of us will suffer a loss.

Panasonic's negotiation specialist seemed confident that Factory 774 was under his control.

He was very familiar with the current situation of Factory 774, after all, he was originally an engineer there.

Since Minister Wang fell ill, these once very powerful radio factories have been declining year by year and are now all starting to lose money.

It is no longer as powerful as it once was.

They have the technology, but these factories operate independently and cannot work together as a cohesive unit, thus failing to leverage their individual technological advantages.

Many foreign companies are now eyeing the technical data they possess.

Add to that the presence of some traitors, and many factories have succumbed to the pressure and compromised.

This is a veritable feast for external companies!

"Factory manager, now is the time for the rapid development of color TVs; market demand is enormous."

Two advanced color picture tube production lines can absolutely revive our factory!

"Factory manager, these conditions are already very good!"

Other factory leaders sitting nearby also joined in the persuasion.

But Director Zhang hesitated greatly, recalling the old minister's instructions when he handed him the blueprints:

"Xiao Zhang, these things are top national secrets, the foundation of the country's future development. You must make good use of them, strive to create better products, and contribute to the country's construction!"

I also remembered the promise I made back then:

"Please rest assured, Minister, I will certainly not let you down!"

...

Looking at the scene below, Yan Jiefang shook his head in disappointment and turned to leave.

In a large forest, you'll find all sorts of birds; just as some people are carrying heavy burdens, there are also those who are selling off their ancestors' land.
