Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building has been dealing with weapons and equipment for half its life, and its subordinate enterprises have changed from military-industrial enterprises to civilian commodity enterprises.

Many military factories fell into an unfavorable situation of operational difficulties.

The First Ministry of Machine Building, the Third Ministry of Machine Building, and the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building all benefited greatly from following Lin Kaifeng.

Li Jinjun, deputy minister of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, was so envious that his eyes turned red.

If Lin Kaifeng was from the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Northern Machinery Company would be an enterprise under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Li Jinjun vowed to give Lin Kaifeng the greatest autonomy.

As long as Lin Kaifeng does not do anything illegal or disruptive to the country's development.

No matter what you want to do, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building will fully support you.

"Comrades, it's so late, your meeting hasn't ended yet?"

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and an old voice came from outside the door.

After seeing the appearance of the person coming, everyone immediately stopped smiling and looked at the old man with serious expressions.

Never expected it.

General Liu, who has been living in seclusion and recuperating in the hospital, appeared in the conference room of the Ministry of First Machine Building.

In terms of identity, General Liu, like the old leader, is one of the founders of the Dragon Kingdom.

In terms of achievements, a large number of national key projects were successfully launched under the care of General Liu.

The old general, who once served as the head of a military scientific research department, is extremely concerned about scientific research work.

The two bombs, one satellite, nuclear submarines, domestic missile destroyers, and large aircraft projects all owe their contributions to the old general.

Wang Changsheng said with concern: "Old leader, aren't you recuperating in the hospital?"

"Hehe, I was recuperating in the hospital. I heard your laughter and came here out of curiosity."

When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The headquarters hospital where General Liu was recuperating was dozens of kilometers away from the First Ministry of Machine Building.

General Liu joked, "I'm an old man with a pair of sharp ears. I heard that Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Company has secured 10 billion US dollars in research funding for the country, so I came here to celebrate with you all. Do you welcome me?"

"Welcome, of course you are welcome."

Everyone said in unison.

In recent years, Longguo has been really poor.

There are more and more places where money needs to be spent, and the money on hand is limited, so every penny must be calculated carefully.

to this end.

The relevant departments had to make a painful decision to cancel a large number of projects that could not produce results at this stage.

General Liu sighed, "When I was a child, I studied in a private school. In order to encourage us to be diligent and motivated, the teacher always liked to use ancient people as examples to let us know that books can contain both wealth and beauty."

"The ancient figure that impressed me the most was none other than Su Qin."

"Su Qin was a commoner who, through his own efforts, became the prime minister of six kingdoms and commanded a million soldiers."

"At that time, I was still young and thought that the teacher was fooling us. How could one person become the prime minister of six countries and command a million troops?"

"Now in Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I see that a person's ability is infinite."

As he spoke, General Liu walked to the main seat in the meeting hall and sat down.

He picked up Wang Changsheng's cup and took a sip of tea.

"In ancient times, Su Qin held the seals of six countries and commanded a million soldiers. Today, Lin Kaifeng has received US$10 billion in sponsorship for many major scientific research projects in the country. This is indeed a good story."

"In addition, I want to tell you one thing. Lin Kaifeng not only obtained 10 billion US dollars in sponsorship from Chief Mustafa for the national scientific research project, but also discussed with Chief Mustafa to send some of our technical backbones to Dicheng to build a motorcycle branch factory."

"The two parties have already agreed that after the motorcycle factory is built, all management and technical personnel will be our people, and Dicheng will be responsible for providing land, electricity and monthly wages."

"The profits of the motorcycle factory will be divided equally between the two companies. Everyone, tell me whether Comrade Lin Kaifeng's proposal is good or bad for us?"

"Of course there are only benefits."

Deputy Minister Zhao said without thinking: "Chief, this is obvious. The country is facing a major problem now, which is the surplus of labor."

"Since 78, when the state officially issued a decision to allow educated youth who went to the countryside to return to the city, the number of educated youth who have returned to the city has exceeded million, causing serious employment problems for relevant departments in various places."

"At the same time, a large number of state-owned factories are undergoing transformation. Due to various constraints such as productivity, not all workers can participate in new production and construction, so some people will inevitably be idle."

All the machinery industry ministries participating in the meeting today have the same problem.

Excess internal human resources.

But it has seriously exceeded the standard.

In 66, 2000 million educated youth responded to the call and went to the countryside, but only more than 400 million of them stayed and settled down in the local area.

Almost all of the remaining 1600 million educated youth returned to the city.

Some educated youth even returned to the city with their families.

During the planned economy period, everything was distributed according to need.

This is the factory's production task, and the number of workers recruited is also based on demand.

The factory will only recruit new employees when old workers retire.

Among the very few recruitment vacancies, children of factory workers account for more than half.

The annual recruitment quota is extremely valuable, and some people are eyeing it.

No matter how much money you spend, you must get yourself a job.

"Comrades, your views coincide with those of Comrade Lin Kaifeng. To tell you the truth, the motorcycle factory he proposed to build in Dicheng is only the beginning of solving our surplus labor problem."

"In the future, a large number of factories will be built in these places. The illiteracy rate in desert areas is extremely high. It cannot be said that there are no qualified industrial workers, but they are very few."

"If the factory wants to operate normally, it cannot do without the skilled workers we provide. Comrade Lin Kaifeng's telegram also contains one item that my old friend and I admire deeply: large-scale labor export."

As he finished speaking, General Liu took out a neatly folded telegram from his military uniform pocket.

He handed the telegram to Wang Changsheng and asked him to read it to everyone.

After settling Chief Mustafa, Lin Kaifeng called Wang Changsheng to inform him of the situation.

He also sent a telegram detailing a series of agreements he had reached with Chief Mustafa.

When inspecting the Northern Machinery Company, the old leader specifically instructed his subordinates.

No matter whether Lin Kaifeng makes a phone call, sends a telegram, or submits a document, he must be notified as soon as possible.

The heads of the Ministry of Industry, who had just calmed down, were shocked again.

General Liu looked at everyone's expressions and said with a faint smile: "Comrades, what do you think about this?"

"Old General, I have an idea."

Li Jinjun, deputy minister of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, said: "I feel that the labor export proposed by Comrade Lin Kaifeng is no different from the construction aid teams sent by the country to tropical countries in the 1950s and 1960s."

"It looks the same, but there is a lot of difference."

General Liu smiled faintly.
