"Two hundred. Why are the higher-ups so generous this time?"

Song Weiguo's answer made Zhou Tian stunned. A hint of incredible excitement flashed in his eyes. He stood up and asked.

Although he himself was not sure if he could get a hundred experts when he first proposed, Song Weiguo now said that not only did the higher-ups agree to his request, they also took the initiative to increase the number of experts to two hundred.

How could he believe this? You know, when he asked his superiors for thirty talents in chemistry, they did not agree. But now they agreed to give him so many at once. How could he not be excited for a moment.

As he thought about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"No, Weiguo, the higher-ups are so generous this time, do they have any new requests?"

It's not that he has doubts, but there is a shortage of talent everywhere in the country right now. He couldn't imagine why the higher-ups would be so good to their research institute all of a sudden. It was totally unreasonable.

"Dean, this, this, it seems that there are some requirements from above!"

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Tian's question, Song Weiguo's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, but he finally said hesitantly: "The higher-ups are planning to let us accept a group of experts from abroad with questionable backgrounds!"

"What? No wonder!"

After hearing what Song Weiguo said, Zhou Tian suddenly understood why the higher-ups were so happy and took the initiative to add people to his team.

You must know that in mid-June, a resolution was passed, which determined the policy of utilizing, restricting and transforming capitalist industry and commerce.

As this policy was implemented, many far-sighted scholars and experts naturally understood what was going on, and at this time they naturally wanted to find some ways out.

Although it is not explicitly stated above, everyone who is sober knows that this is the beginning of the transformation of capitalists and businessmen. You have to know what kind of people were the scholars and experts who were able to study abroad before liberation.

Most of them are businessmen and politicians with wealthy family backgrounds. Naturally, these people are regarded as hot potatoes by some of the people above them.

It just so happened that Zhou Tian wanted to apply for talents at this time, so why don’t they take this opportunity to send these people to him? After all, the background and capabilities of the Bayi Red Star Research Institute are now registered there.

If they can enter here, it will naturally be a good protection for these people.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel a little numb. You know, although he likes talents, he doesn't like trouble. If it was one or two, or three or four, he could still accept it, but with so many such talents at once, he felt that his arms could not withstand such a great pressure.

"Weiguo, are these people those who have studied abroad or have family problems?"

Zhou Tian swallowed and asked sympathetically.

It's not his fault that he was timid. The main reason was that this was too scary. Although it was not yet the period of the movement, the problem was that as long as he dared to accept these people, he believed that when the movement came, this would be a fatal handle.

"No, there aren't any! There are only about a dozen!"

Song Weiguo was actually quite politically sensitive. He naturally knew Zhou Tian’s concerns, and after thinking about it, he told the truth.

"more than ten?"

Zhou Tian then breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought there were two hundred of them, but he didn't expect there were only a dozen. But in a blink of an eye, he became hesitant again. To be honest, a dozen is also a very deadly number.

"If we don't accept these dozen people, how many talents will be allocated to us?"

"It's said above that if we take over, there will be 200 people, so if one is reduced, then ten will be reduced!"

Song Weiguo repeated the above words, which made Zhou Tian completely silent.

If he accepts one less person, there will be ten fewer places, and there are only two hundred people. That is to say, if he doesn't want these people, he can only apply for dozens of people from above.

If it were in the past, he would have been satisfied with a few dozen, but the problem was that now there were two hundred for him to choose from, and for a moment he felt his heart bleeding.

He wanted to take them all, but when he thought about the consequences he would face, he really couldn't accept it.

"Whatever, a few dozen is enough!"

After thinking about it, Zhou Tian decided to give up. He really didn't think he had the ability to protect those people from behind. In the end, he might even be implicated in this matter.

If that were the case, he would rather not have taken over in the first place.

"Forget it, we won't take over the defense of the country. Tell the higher-ups that we only need those few dozen people!"

Although Zhou Tian said this, for some reason, he felt particularly distressed in his heart.

"Dean, why? Although there are documents from above, the country is still very protective of talents. It is not a bad thing even if we take over!"

Now, Song Weiguo was a little puzzled. After all, as far as he knew, the dean had always hoped to have as many talents as possible. Now that the higher-ups had finally agreed, he didn't expect the dean to back down.

After all, in his opinion, this matter did not cause any loss to the dean.

Seeing the confusion in Song Weiguo's eyes, Zhou Tian waved his hands and was unwilling to explain any more. After all, Song Weiguo was different from him. He knew what would happen next. He had family, a wife and children, and elderly people. He didn't want to take the risk.

Seeing that the dean was unwilling to explain, Song Weiguo could only sigh, secretly saying it was a pity, then turned around and left to report to his superiors. After all, their superiors were still waiting for their reply.

Watching Song Weiguo leave, Zhou Tian couldn't help but have a headache. He sat on the chair and rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't expect that just asking Song Weiguo to apply for some talents would bring such a troublesome thing.

The entanglement, heartache and pain kept circling in his mind.

He naturally knew that there must be many talented people among these people, but the problem was that he didn't dare to gamble, nor did he dare to accept them.

"Director, what's wrong with you?"

Just then, Liu Yuan walked in from outside, and seeing Zhou Tian looking tired, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, I just have a headache! Never mind, I'll go to the experimental workshop. Xiao Liu, call me when Weiguo comes back!"

Since things had been decided, Zhou Tian didn't plan to stay in the office for long. He stood up and spoke, gave Liu Yuan a few instructions, then left the office and walked towards the test workshop.

Now they have basically solved more than half of the problems on the production line, and the remaining part is expected to be completed in a few days.

To be honest, Zhou Tian originally thought that the production line was very simple, but after actually getting started, he realized how difficult it was, and it was even more difficult to study the production line at this time.

Some high-precision parts and tools are not even simpler than a machine tool, and it is also necessary to ensure that there are no mistakes in every process. This was simply an extremely difficult task in the 50s when there were no computers or the Internet.

Fortunately, today's production lines are not as complicated as those in later generations, and production lines have already existed in foreign countries. He just improved the foreign production lines to make them more convenient. Otherwise, if he were to use the production lines of later generations, he might not be able to complete it even if he was given another year.
