Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

“Didn’t you say before that you could build a small civilian car?

Mr. Zhou and Director Nie are quite interested in your proposal.

You may also know that we just completed the replacement of the Soviet Union’s foreign debt last year.

The country's foreign exchange is now pitifully small.

If we can earn foreign exchange by exporting cars, we can also drive domestic economic growth and create employment opportunities.

It is undoubtedly a multi-party benefit.

The reason I let you enter the Academy of Sciences this time is to reward you for your previous contribution.

Another reason is that I hope you can make more contributions to the country in the automotive industry."

After Professor Xu finished speaking, Fang Xiang realized that the pie he had painted before had successfully attracted the attention of many people.

"So, in the first stage, I must build a batch of prototypes, right?"

Fang Xiang immediately smiled and told him what he would face next.

"That's right. After the prototype is built, it will be sent to the capital for testing.

If only it could compete with small cars from other countries in the world.

The country will come forward, led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and will invite some ambassadors to China to come and watch.

When the opportunity arises, sell it.”

Professor Xu nodded and expressed his ideas for the next stage.

"Exactly what I thought."

Fang Xiang also agreed with this method.

This is also the reason why he tried hard to get Liu Shuying into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Since I have created such a good opportunity, I should at least let Liu Shuying get some benefits, right?

“So transferring your work relationship to the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also to facilitate your appointment to certain departments in the future.

For example, the Automobile Industry Company of the First Ministry of Machine Building is already preparing for the position of deputy general manager and deputy chief engineer.

When your small car has achieved initial results, this position will be yours."

Professor Xu finished his cigarette after a few puffs and told another piece of news.

"The First Ministry of Machinery's Automobile Industry Company?"

Fang Xiang was a little confused because he had never heard of this organization before.

Is it a public unit?

“Yes, this company existed as early as the 50s.

But, there has never been a sense of existence.

Nowadays, it is just a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Machine Building for coordination.

If you have made achievements in this area.

In the future, it is very likely that a large number of factories will be included in the management of the entire company.

Director Nie originally wanted you to take on the position of assistant minister.

However, Mr. Zhou rejected it, thinking that holding too many positions might not be appropriate for you at the moment.

But I think you will be killed sooner or later."

Professor Xu took out another cigarette and lit it with a match.

But he didn't pull it out, but held it in his hand.

This is Professor Xu’s old habit. He never stops smoking while working.

But when I'm busy, I can only take two or three puffs of a cigarette at most.

"With so many positions, are there any salaries?"

The first thing Fang Xiang thought of was, with so many positions, wouldn’t he be very busy in the future?

If I could give him a few more salaries, I would have a source of money for milk powder in the future.

"what are you thinking?

Are you thinking of giving me an extra salary just by adding a new position?

What a beautiful thought! "

Professor Xu stretched out his hand as if he was going to hit Fang Xiang.

But it was just a feint and passed over his head.

"Then what's wrong with me?!"

Fang Xiang suddenly felt unhappy.

"What do you have to lose? Others can't even get what they want.

How dare you pretend to be wronged here?

But then again, there was no salary, but I remember the benefits were calculated separately.”

Professor Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip. After putting it down, he glared at Fang Xiang.

After looking at Fang Xiang’s face that was deliberately pretending to be aggrieved.

I thought of welfare again and said one more sentence.

"Benefits? What benefits are there?"

Fang Xiang asked curiously.

“It’s nothing more than some cigarettes, alcohol and daily distribution items.

Take you for example. Your current salary as a level six professional is more than 150 yuan.

Isn't this enough for you to spend?"

Professor Xu immediately understood what Fang Xiang meant.

glanced at him.

"Hey, isn't it true that the more the better?"

Fang Xiang chuckled. One hundred and fifty-four yuan, when you think about it, the salary is indeed not a small amount.

But if Yin Qingqiu went to Hong Kong Island and had another child in the future.

The expense... I dare not even think about it.

I am not someone who steals money from the public.

Come to think of it, I haven't spent much money in the past six months, and my savings now have returned to nearly 4,000 yuan.

However, Fang Xiang didn’t understand the prices in Hong Kong Island at that time.

I don’t know how many days this little money can last in Hong Kong Island.

"Didn't Professor Li say before that he offered you a lecturer's salary?"

Professor Xu was too lazy to argue with Fang Xiang about this, but then he remembered that Professor Li once said that he would give Fang Xiang a salary.

"They only gave it to me for three months. After I went to Luoyi, they haven't given me any more."

Fang Xiang rubbed his nose. He didn't feel comfortable looking for Professor Li for the follow-up on this matter.

After all, he had only taught many classes for others.

Professor Li paid him three months' salary, which was already very good.

"Do you want to make more money to give to the girl from Director Yin's family?"

Professor Xu's eyes turned and he immediately guessed Fang Xiang's little thoughts.

"Oh! I knew I could not hide anything from you."

As soon as Professor Xu finished speaking, Fang Xiang scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I don't want to get involved in the affairs of you young people.

But you should know that this is not a good thing.

Forget it, you can take care of yourself. "

After Professor Xu finished speaking, he sighed, waved his hand and started to chase people away.

"Then you are busy, I will leave first.

I'll call you again when I have good news."

As soon as Fang Xiang saw Professor Xu's expression, he knew it was time for him to leave.

“By the way, Mizuki will probably suspend classes and close the school soon.

I probably won't work here anymore.

Please write down my address and phone number. This is my office at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

If you contact me again, call this number and find me here. "

Just when Fang was about to leave, Professor Xu suddenly called him.

He wrote an address and phone number on a piece of paper and handed it over.

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Fang Xiang took it, bowed to Professor Xu, and went downstairs.

He drove his own jeep and soon returned to his yard.

"Xiaoying, let me tell you something."

As soon as Fang Xiang entered the door, he saw Liu Shuying washing clothes.

He came to the central hall, sat in front of the tea table, and greeted everyone.

I started to pour myself a cup of cold brew tea that I had prepared before going out.

"What? You said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs might cooperate with you in the future?"

Liu Shuying put down the work in her hands and drank tea with Fang Xiang.

“Yes, and it will most likely be a long-term undertaking, and we may even set up a separate department.

The reason I want you to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to give you a ride."

Fang Xiang nodded and explained the whole story to Liu Shuying.

“It’s so complicated, but since you said so.

Then I will listen to you."

Liu Shuying sat down in Fang Xiang's arms, put her arms around Fang Xiang's neck, and kissed him.
