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

Chapter 22 If you want funds, earn foreign exchange first

From two years ago.

That is, starting in 1976, the policy on educated youth began to be relaxed.

As long as there is someone in the city to accept them, the educated youth who have been sent to the countryside can return to the city and settle down.

At the beginning of this year, the number of educated youth returning to the city reached its peak.

Almost every month, thousands of educated youth returned to their hometowns.

Nearly ten million educated youth left the countryside and returned to their respective registered places of residence, and employment pressure suddenly arose.

Recruitment vacancies, which were not difficult to obtain in the past, have suddenly become scarce.

"Brother, before coming here, I asked the driver to take me to the nearby youth cadre station. Is my nephew-in-law the only youth cadre left in the Dongshan Brigade?"

Lu Changshun asked.

"Alas, those who are supposed to leave cannot be kept, and those who don't want to leave, hehe, can't be driven away either."

Lu Dayong glanced at Lin Kaifeng.

After observing for this period of time, Lu Dayong believed that Lin Kaifeng had really learned well.

I will never do such a stupid thing as abandoning my wife and daughter again.

Lu Xiuxiu asked rashly, "Uncle San, can you really help Kaifeng get a job quota?"

“Yes, but it’s difficult.”

"Old Third, you have been a soldier for so many years, you should be a straightforward person. Why are you so hesitant when speaking? If you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't."

Lu Dayong said unhappily, "If you really want a solution, then find a job quota for Xiuxiu and Lin Kaifeng respectively, so that they can have a stable job."

"Although we are distant relatives, we both have the surname Lu. You call me brother, so I don't treat you as an outsider."

"Although I need to use some connections, just tell me the amount and I'll find a way to raise it."

Lu Dayong is not a person who sticks to the old ways.

In the past two years, society has changed so fast that he can't understand it anymore.

Lu Dayong knew how tight the recruitment quotas were.

otherwise.

He had already found a way to get it for his daughter's family.

"Dad, Uncle San has actually thought of a solution for us."

Lin Kaifeng smiled and helped Lu Changshun explain.

There were millions of educated youth returning to the city, and one recruitment quota was targeted by a thousand people.

Don't say that Lu Changshun dare not show favoritism.

Even if the county approved it, he might not dare to do it.

They were both young people, so why was he able to work in a factory while the other educated youth could only wait for news?

The number of educated youth returning to the city was not just one or two, but hundreds of millions.

Once the disturbance breaks out, the impact will be extremely bad.

"Brother, Kaifeng is really smart. He understands things at a glance."

"It's definitely not possible to just give a quota."

Lu Changshun first praised Lin Kaifeng a few words, and then mentioned the number of educated youth who returned to the county, which was almost 7,000 people.

The third batch of young people were the first group of educated youth who went to the countryside.

You suffer the most and endure the greatest hardship.

They are one of the most difficult group of people.

They knew that Lu Changshun dared to use the back door to let his relatives enter the factory.

I can definitely eat him.

"What I mean is, lend me Kaifeng for a few days. He's smart, educated, and his parents are intellectuals."

"Once we can help the factory get the funds, won't that be a great achievement?"

"You've made a contribution, so why are you worried about not having a job opening?"

Lu Changshun spread out his hands and stated his intention directly.

He transferred to another job and returned to his hometown, becoming the leader of a machinery factory.

Although he is a local, he is also a newcomer.

A lot of complicated things happened one after another.

It is said that there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.

Lu Changshun must first establish his authority.

Secretly collect evidence and drive away a group of useless people who are doing nothing.

The cancer was sent to other units, and all that was left was to make money.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

The machinery factory was not doing well and no one took him, the factory director, seriously.

Lu Dayong nodded and said, "If you say so, I understand."

"Just like when I was the brigade secretary, why did everyone obey me? Because I was not greedy or selfish, I could do things for the villagers, and I could control the Zhao family bastards."

"If your folks don't have a good life, who the hell would treat you as a toy?"

"Brother, the situation at the County Machinery Factory is different from that of your Dongshan Brigade."

Lu Changshun took out a cigarette and lit one.

"You have been in the Dongshan Brigade for many years, so you don't know the wind direction outside very well."

"Now, everything we do must be based on making money."

In fact, Lu Changshun and Lu Dayong are in similar situations.

One has been serving as secretary of the Dongshan Brigade for many years, and the other has been serving in the army.

My understanding of local affairs is quite limited.

from last year.

The country has comprehensively reduced the funds allocated to state-owned manufacturers.

This year, we started setting tasks and targets again.

It is said that many large enterprises have already received the task of earning foreign exchange.

This can be seen.

The country is really out of money.

The country has no money, and the local governments have no money either.

"Uncle San, I think I understand what you mean."

"You said before that you wanted me to help you figure out a way to apply for funds. Actually, you meant to figure out a way to come up with a foreign exchange earning product, right?"

Lu Changshun said so much, probably because he was afraid that everyone didn’t understand what earning foreign exchange meant.

He didn't understand the problem he was facing.

Lin Kaifeng understood it early on.

The reason I didn't say it was because I didn't want to be too conspicuous.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means."

Lu Changshun flicked the ash off his cigarette and sighed, "I don't think there's much hope if we apply for funding using a normal scientific research project."

“As long as you apply for funds in the name of foreign exchange earning products, I think the county or city will approve it.”

"No matter what, we have to get the money first. Only with the money can we repair the equipment and start work normally."

The machine tools in the county machinery factory are all old and broken.

Half of them were paralyzed.

A penny can make a hero fall, and Lu Changshun was so worried that he came to find his distant cousin's family.

Lu Changshun, who came from the countryside, has the same simple ideas as many rural people.

Relatives help relatives.

This is the most natural thing.

"Brother, I was able to join the army smoothly because of your distant cousin's help. Don't worry, I will never treat Kaifeng unfairly when he comes under my command."

"You know, ever since Guiqin took Xiaohu and Xiaofeng to visit relatives in the army and they had a car accident on the way, my heart died and I haven't remarried in these years."

"Kaifeng and Xiuxiu are your daughter and son-in-law, and also my daughter and son-in-law, Lu Changshun."

"We are one family and we should keep our differences. What do you think?"

Although Lu Changshun didn't know that Lin Kaifeng and Lu Xiuxiu were married.

But he knew that Lu Xiuxiu was Lu Dayong's life and sweetheart.

now.

We need to bring Lu Xiuxiu’s man to the county to help.

It is equivalent to separating the couple alive.

Plus, their baby had just been born.

But don’t even think about Lu Dayong.

Lu Dayong was also in trouble.

I couldn't help but look at Lu Xiuxiu.

If Lin Kaifeng could go with them and get a job, everyone would be happy.
