Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After coming out of Mr. Jiang's office, Zhou Yang frowned and felt a little heavy.

Just now, Mr. Jiang told him one thing - he was going to quit!

According to Mr. Jiang, if nothing unexpected happens, he will retire completely in June this year, along with more than 20 military veterans.

Although it is not a bad thing for the older generation to step back and give their positions and opportunities to young people.

What's more, an old man like Mr. Jiang is really not suitable to continue working. He has dedicated his life to the country, and it is time to take a rest.

But for Zhou Yang, this is not a good thing.

After all, it is obvious to all that Mr. Jiang and others have helped him and the entire 18th Research Institute. Others don't know how important this is to the 18th Research Institute. How could Zhou Yang not know that.

Although he was also the project leader of the top scientist Waijia in his previous life, he did not have as much leadership support as he does now. Therefore, everyone including Zhou Yang had to go to great lengths to ask for help every time for projects and funds. .

In the most difficult time, Zhou Yang had to live in the corridor outside the leader's office with his bedding.

Like now, he only needs to do research, and there is no need for him to worry about other things.

There are Liang Shi in the unit, and there are Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang, and Minister He in the capital. Most of the projects do not require them to bother to apply or have connections.

As long as they complete the plan, these old comrades will give them their full support.

It is precisely because of their unswerving support and help that the 18th Research Institute can take root in Babaoliang Town, a remote place in the countryside, and then grow bigger and stronger.

Now these old comrades are retiring, which will definitely have an impact on the future development of the 18th Research Institute.

First, I don’t know what the new leader thinks and whether he will make adjustments to the existing model.

Secondly, what will the new leadership think of the behemoth of their 18th Research Institute? Will they support it as always, or do they have other ideas?

In addition, Zhou Yang is also worried about whether the retirement of old leaders will affect the implementation of the Scythe Plan.

You must know that Mr. Jiang is still the top person in charge of the Scythe Project leadership group. After he retires, this position will inevitably be vacant.

If the person in charge is re-appointed from within the group, this will not have much impact, but if a person in charge is suddenly parachuted in, it will be troublesome.

After all, the Scythe Plan has now reached the most critical stage of its development. Changing generals temporarily is a taboo for military strategists.

Originally, Zhou Yang wanted to ask Mr. Jiang to talk to the elder to see if he could be allowed to retire two years later, but Mr. Jiang shook his head.

He told Zhou Yang that if it weren't for the two plans of the Sickle Project and arms exports, he should have quit a few years ago.

You must know that the higher authorities have been aware of the problems existing in our country's cadre team a few years ago. On the one hand, the cadre team is seriously aging and unable to meet the expectations; on the other hand, young cadres cannot be promoted because there are no seats.

Then the great elder convened a meeting with senior officials and asked the old comrades to make way for young and middle-aged cadres to take over.

Senior officials attach great importance to this issue and believe that letting the elderly and sick block the way of younger, more motivated and capable people will affect the future of the country.

So the great elder personally worked for the older generation, asking them to step down from their positions and give their positions to the younger people.

Then, an advisory committee was set up above to allow veteran cadres who were overage or had no position to be assigned to serve as consultants, creating conditions for the cadre system to replace the old with the new and replace the old with the new.

At that time, a considerable number of veteran cadres resigned from their leadership positions, including many who had been awarded the title for 55 years.

Originally, Mr. Jiang was also on the retirement list, but because of the Sickle Project and the surge in orders from domestic military industrial enterprises after the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, he needed someone with enough weight to take command. In the end, he was crossed out from the retirement list by the great elder. .

But now that he is over eighty years old, he is no longer qualified for his current job, both physically and mentally. Retirement is inevitable!

In Mr. Jiang’s words, this 20 billion development plan may be the last time he helps the th Research Institute...

Thinking of all the possible situations in the future, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little irritated, but he was also helpless.

After returning to the car, Liang Xiaoshan immediately asked: "Chief, shall we go home next?"

"Go to the Ministry of Electronics Industry!"

"Yes!"

Then the car started and drove straight to the Ministry of Electronics Industry not far away...

........

In the next few days, Zhou Yang went out early and came back late every day. He was either reporting work to various leaders or on the way to report work, and was extremely busy.

Of course, his purpose is obviously not just to report on the work, but more importantly, to win the support of these leaders so that the institute's 20 billion development plan can be successfully passed.

As Mr. Jiang said before, the total annual scientific research funding in the country is only about 40 billion yuan. One of their institutes has to spend 20 billion in scientific research funding. Even if there is no need for money from above, it will still cause a lot of controversy. of.

Therefore, in order for this plan to pass smoothly, he could only run the project in person.

Although it was a bit busy, the results were very good.

Thanks to Zhou Yang's efforts, leaders of several ministries and commissions, including Mr. Jiang from the Ministry of Equipment, Minister He from the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and Minister Yang from the Ministry of Aviation Industry, all agreed to his plan and promised to work on it during the meeting. He speaks.

Although it has not been clearly stated above whether the 20 billion plan can be passed, for Zhou Yang, he has done everything he can.

As for the result, it can only be left to God.

And while Zhou Yang was busy with matters for the unit, Li Youwei and the children were not idle either.

While they are cleaning their homes, they are busy buying new clothes and New Year's goods to prepare for the coming New Year.

At the same time, whenever Li Youwei had free time, she took Bao'er and Wen Hui to various calligraphy and painting studios and morning markets, and bought the paintings and calligraphy works and old objects that she liked.

After all, they brought back a huge sum of 150 million yuan this time. All the money will eventually be spent, and they will not stay in the capital for too long, so they can only hurry up.

In just a few days, the collection at home has increased a lot.

In this way, the time soon arrived on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the work matters are almost settled, Zhou Yang is also free.

Ever since, he also joined the army of spending money.

For a moment, the Zhou family seemed to be coal bosses coming to the city, and their main business was buying, buying, buying...

The only thing that makes Zhou Yang feel helpless is that there is no news about the house he wants to buy.

Originally, what he wanted to buy most when he came back this time was a house, especially a courtyard house in a good location.

His requirements were not high. Each of the dozen juniors in the old house bought one set first.

Whether they can live in it or not, when they grow up, house prices will also rise. Then they can live in it themselves or sell it, which means they have the capital to settle down and live.

However, after they inquired around the old city, they found that there were not many people selling houses, and even if there were, they did not meet Zhou Yang's requirements.

What Zhou Yang wants to buy is a standard courtyard house with a single door and a single courtyard, but most of the houses sold now are from a certain household in a large courtyard, some with three rooms and some with two rooms.

After buying such a house, you have to live with other families. For Zhou Yang, such a house does not mean much.

For a while, the matter of buying a house was put on hold.

But at this moment, Lu Zhengjun and Yan Gengdong came back...
