In July, the first phase of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation's plan to reduce staff and increase efficiency was successfully completed. A total of more than 13,000 employees over the age of 50 signed buyout agreements and received corresponding compensation for their years of service.

The first phase had just ended and Lin Zhiyuan immediately started the second phase of work.

The group has established life cooperation centers according to regions, and completely separated important positions such as production, operation, management, scientific research from logistics, warehousing, and security. In the future, employee salaries will be linked to their positions, and resources will gradually be tilted towards important positions, so that truly capable employees can receive higher rewards.

This move meant that many people's interests would be affected. Since July, letters of complaint have been sent to the higher authorities in large numbers, all protesting against this move and reporting Lin Zhiyuan.

Both Li Zhenshan and Wen Tiangao shook their heads helplessly after reading these letters of complaint, but they both firmly supported Lin Zhiyuan.

Before an enterprise embarks on a path of rapid development, it must get rid of its burdens and move forward lightly. Li Zhenshan has long understood this principle and has done it when he was in charge of Gegang.

The China Electronics Technology Group Corporation has a total of 150,000 employees. This burden is really too heavy, and Lin Zhiyuan’s reform measures are not too radical. He has taken care of every employee as much as possible.

With the support of his superiors, Lin Zhiyuan, despite the pressure, resolutely implemented the reform measures. By the end of December, the second phase of reducing staff and increasing efficiency was completed, and more than 30,000 employees in non-production and scientific research positions were separated.

The year 2002 was a year of quiet dormancy and accumulation of strength for China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and Lin Zhiyuan himself.

This was the year Lin Zhiyuan was scolded the most. It was said that the letters reporting him filled an entire office. Even his deputy Yuan Zhilong once openly opposed him.

But no matter what, he finally made it through the year.

Dawn will always come after darkness, and spring will come when the snow melts. In 2003, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation finally began to bear fruit and ushered in the harvest season.

In March and April, Southern Communications and North China Information Technology went public respectively, raising valuable listing funds.

At the same time, three more companies began the process of applying for listing.

At the same time, the group's plan to reduce staff and increase efficiency began the third phase of work.

The transportation center and the warehousing center were established at the same time, and while a part of the personnel were transferred out, Lin Zhiyuan began to devote himself to building the logistics system of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.

At the end of 33, the group's two-year plan to reduce staff and increase efficiency was fully completed. The total number of employees in the group was reduced from 45.8 to the current . The number of employees in production and scientific research positions increased from to , but the proportion increased from % to %. Most of the other non-production, scientific research and management positions were divested, and labor costs were compressed. The group's loss-making enterprises were sharply reduced from to , while the profitable enterprises increased from to .

The group finally no longer needs to rely on Dongtian Electronics' transfusions to maintain its operations. Forty-seven profitable enterprises have contributed more than 4 billion yuan in profits to the group.

The group began to gradually repay the debts previously owed to Dongtian Electronics.

Of course, this year was not all good news. In mid-October, when a scientific research institute in Shanghai was transferring land, the person in charge colluded with a real estate company internally and externally, and there was serious fraud in the bidding, resulting in the institute's original land being auctioned at a price significantly lower than the market price.

After receiving the letter of complaint, Lin Zhiyuan immediately asked Zhan Daying to lead the Discipline Inspection Commission personnel to Shanghai to conduct an investigation.

This person in charge had made great contributions in the previous Ministry of Information Industry, and many of the projects he developed had won important national awards. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the head of an important institution.

At that time, countless people came to Lin Zhiyuan to plead for mercy, and even some high-level leaders called, hoping that Lin Zhiyuan would let him go this time because of the many scientific research results he had produced before, and it would be best not to go through legal procedures and resolve the matter within the group.

But Lin Zhiyuan thought again and again, and finally shed tears and executed Ma Su. It was not that he was ruthless, but the impact of this incident was too bad. If big things were reduced to small things, small things were ignored, and if things were raised high and then put down lightly, then it would be difficult to carry out future work.

If 2003 was the first year for China Electronics Technology Group Corporation to break through, then 2004 was the year when China Electronics Technology Group Corporation turned around from weak to strong.

As the US stock market has completely shaken off the shadow of the Internet bubble and has been rising steadily in the past two years, the $500 million invested in Nasdaq three years ago has become $1.5 billion. In this year, the number of listed companies of China Electronics Technology Group has increased to five, with a total revenue of more than 60 billion yuan, of which Dongtian Electronics alone has contributed 25 billion yuan in output value to the group.

In September, the headquarters building of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, which had been under construction for two years, was finally completed and the group moved to its new home.

At the same time, Guowei, a company previously invested by China Telecom Group, had survived two years of difficulties. After Zheng Fei resolved the wave of layoffs and the lawsuit with Cisco, it finally ushered in a year of full-scale outbreak. In 2004, Guowei established a joint venture with Siemens to jointly develop TD-SCDMA solutions. In addition, it obtained a contract worth more than 2500 million US dollars from the operator Telfort in Windmill Country, achieving a major breakthrough in Western Europe for the first time.

After opening up the markets in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and Western Europe, Guowei set up the center of its European regional department in Paris. In October of the same year, under the strong advocacy of Lin Zhiyuan, Guowei and China Electronics Technology Group jointly invested and Haisi Semiconductor was officially established.

Zheng Fei asked Lin Zhiyuan to name the newly developed chip. Lin Zhiyuan blurted out the word "Qilin" without hesitation.

In the same year, the group completely paid off its debt to Dongtian Electronics.

Upon hearing the news, Yuan Zhilong wore only a thin shirt in the middle of winter, tied a whip behind his back, and ran to the newly built headquarters building to apologize.

From the moment Yuan Zhilong stepped through the gate, he was stopped by the security guard. While the security guard was questioning him, Yuan Zhilong attracted countless eyes. Many new employees who had only been working for a few years did not know this old man. They were whispering and asking each other who this mentally ill man was.

Of course, some old employees recognized Yuan Zhilong and rushed over to help.

"Get out of the way, this is the former CEO of the group, Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan, what are you doing? It's so cold, don't freeze yourself."

Yuan Zhilong held his head high and said in a high-pitched voice, "I'm here to ask for forgiveness from Director Lin."

Upon hearing the news, Lin Zhiyuan hurried out of the office and met Yuan Zhilong who had just come out of the elevator. Without saying a word, Yuan Zhilong bowed deeply and said, "Director Lin, I am short-sighted and did not understand your previous efforts. I have caused a lot of trouble to the group and you. Today I formally apologize to you."

Lin Zhiyuan helped him up and said, "Mr. Yuan, this is really unnecessary."

The two held hands and smiled to put aside their grudges.

In the spring of 2005, Lin Zhiyuan was awarded the honorary title of National Model Worker and gave a speech at the Great Hall of the People.

This year has seen rapid progress and comprehensive explosion for China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.

After three years of dedicated research and development, the laboratory in Silicon Valley finally successfully developed the world's first smartphone. Lin Zhiyuan named it New World 1. On August 1 of the same year, Music Garden Company officially held a press conference to officially launch the New World mobile phone. The company's chief technology officer, Scoli, demonstrated the powerful functions of the smartphone in front of many media.

After the press conference, New World 1 immediately caused a sensation and became popular all over the world. In just four months, sales reached million copies.

In October of the same year, a new generation of immersion lithography machine jointly developed by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and ASML was launched, which also shocked the entire scientific and technological community.

The new generation of immersion lithography machines is priced at US$78 million, and just after the launch conference, it received more than ten orders from chip companies in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other countries.

At the end of 2005, the total revenue of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation reached US$12.7 billion, entering the Fortune Global 500 for the first time and ranking 488th.

In 2, the New World 1 mobile phone was launched. Based on the New World , the functions of the second-generation smartphone were greatly enhanced. More and more people began to buy smartphones, and the market expanded further.

In 2007, the total revenue of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation exceeded US$34 billion, ranking 316th in the Fortune Global 500 list.

In the same year, the Satellite Navigation System No. 14 was officially completed, and satellites were launched into space, together forming a satellite network that can cover the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, the Satellite Navigation System No. was launched.

In November, Lin Zhiyuan received a call and rushed to the State Council, where Wen Tiangao talked to him in person.

When Lin Zhiyuan walked out of the Executive Yuan, he looked up at the early winter sky in Yanjing. A breath of white air was blown away by the cold wind in an instant.

Next year, the State Council will start a new round of institutional reform. The Ministry of Information Industry, which was established ten years ago, will be merged with the Information Office of the State Council, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and some departments of the National Development and Reform Commission to form the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and he will become the first minister.

From 1988 to 2008, it has been twenty years since Lin Zhiyuan was reborn. He has worked his way from Gegang's workshop to here. This year he is forty-five years old and has been promoted to a minister.

“I changed a small part of the world.”
