The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Ming affirmed: "Of course."

"But many countries don't buy our products, and we can't enter their markets."

Not all countries are like Japan and have not established diplomatic relations with us, but their economic and trade exchanges are very active.

Trade between countries can only be carried out after reaching an agreement through government negotiations or industry associations with the tacit approval of the government.

For example, Nanchao Moss next door had no trade relations with my country at this time. It was not until 1978 that the people of the two countries began to conduct indirect re-export trade through the port city.

Section Chief Chen Guodong frowned slightly, "It seems that this business can only be made by those middlemen."

Li Ming smiled and said: "That's why people dare to buy our pork for more than 8000 million yuan, which is also a big business in Hong Kong City."

Chief Chen lamented: “If the processing steps could be kept in China, at least 20,000 jobs could be provided.”

"You calculated it based on the ham sausage branch, right?"

Li Ming counted more, "You haven't counted the people in the transportation department, the people who make import and export declarations, and the people who load and unload goods at the port terminal."

"Supporting packaging material factories, other raw material factories, enterprises and institutions that provide logistics services to 20,000 employees."

"A large enterprise can create a lot of related jobs."

The more he counted, the more heartbroken Section Chief Chen became, "It's such a pity."

Li Ming said casually: "We need people from the diplomacy and foreign trade departments to do the work and open more markets so that people around the world can eat and use our products."

"Among the large number of appointment notices last month, were the directors of these two departments appointed?" Section Chief Chen was unsure at the moment.

Li Ming is very concerned about foreign trade affairs. "The Foreign Economic and Trade Commission has appointed the leader of the military control group, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade has appointed a representative."

Section Chief Chen hoped: "I hope they can carry out their work well."

"Everyone performs his or her duties. You should first pay attention to the progress of the machinery branch."

"You are also a member of the new factory construction team."

The above approved the steel rolling mill to use the accumulated funds in the bank account to build a new factory building for the machinery branch.

The location was chosen to the west of the ham sausage branch, with a highway in the middle.

The machinery branch will also hire 400 students as new workers. Together with managers and veteran workers, the machinery branch will have a total of more than 500 people.

The main factory has also hired 100 people, and the entire steel rolling mill has hired 3500 new people this year.

These are basically new positions created by Section Chief Li, benefiting at least 3500 families.

Many employees came to greet Section Chief Li. Li Ming nodded in response while chatting with Section Chief Chen and said:

"I'll just name it in the Machinery Branch. Things in the Ham Sausage Branch are even more troublesome."

"There is no harm in boys going to the countryside to exercise. There are still many parents who support it."

"Girls' parents are more worried. Now they are showing off their special skills. Some of them even went to my house in the courtyard."

Section Chief Chen frowned and said, "High school graduates have no problem."

"Junior high school students are a bit on the young side. The main reason is that they are unfamiliar with the place. If they have familiar people, it won't be a big problem."

Li Ming also thinks so, "So I suggest that the city give priority to arranging junior high school students for the ham sausage branch."

The workload of girls who graduate from junior high school will not be worse than that of those who graduate from high school. The age of marriage can be pushed back by three years, giving the ham sausage branch more time to develop.

After going to the countryside for a year or two, many people returned to the city through recruitment. In addition, men in the city can only get married when they are 25 years old and women are 23 years old.

That is to say, people born in 1950 will not reach the age of marriage until 1973-1975, so the male-to-female ratio is not an issue for the time being.

Section Chief Chen shook his head, "Personnel work is complicated and difficult to do."

"I can't take care of the machinery branch anymore."

Li Ming then whispered: "And our Director Wei probably doesn't want me to interfere too much."

Section Chief Chen looked around and said, "Jealous of talents."

"If you change the factory leader, he will definitely arrange more work for you."

Li Ming laughed and said, "I'm a lazy person, so the less work I do, the better."

He invited Section Chief Chen to have lunch together because Zhou Xiaobai was working the morning shift today, and the morning shift in the pharmaceutical factory only got off at 14:.

The other end.

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were in high spirits after get off work and were not sleepy at all.

The two of them did not go home directly, but returned to the Institute of Innovation and Technology.

In the bicycle shed in the front yard, Zhang Haiyang was about to go out on his bicycle. "I'm humming a song while walking. What good thing has happened to me?"

Luo Yun said proudly: "Our project has made a major breakthrough and found a strain that can produce 2-keto-L-gulonic acid!"

Zhang Haiyang was confused when he heard this, "Aren't you going to produce vitamins? Why are you going to produce acid?"

Luo Yun said arrogantly, "You country bumpkin doesn't understand. I'm kindly telling you."

"Simply put, 2-keto-L-gulonic acid is the raw material for the production of vitamin C."

Zhang Haiyang laughed and said: "It turns out that after so many months of research, you finally found the raw materials!"

"The testing funds have cost tens of thousands, right?"

Zhou Xiaobai explained carefully: "The glucose is hydrogenated to produce sorbitol, which is then fermented by black vinegar bacteria to become sorbose."

"The way factories currently produce vitamin C is to chemically convert sorbose into diacetone, then into diacetone gulonic acid, and finally into vitamin C."

"This method uses a lot of toxic and harmful chemical raw materials such as benzene, liquid chlorine, oleum, and acetone."

"For example, benzene can easily poison workers chronically. Many workers exposed to benzene need to go to nursing homes regularly for recuperation."

“If biological fermentation methods can replace chemical preparation methods, it can not only reduce costs but also protect workers’ health.”

Zhang Haiyang understood something, "Zhou Xiaobai, you understand."

"Luo Yun, you probably only have half a bucket of water."

Luo Yun rolled her eyes, "You don't care how many buckets of water I have, anyway, our project has made a breakthrough."

"You're still talking about me. Isn't there no progress in such a simple project like yours?"

Zhang Haiyang was so excited that he wanted to jump up and down, "What do you mean by simple?"

"I am responsible for more than 3000 and almost 4000 production brigades by myself. You think this is easy!"

"If I asked you to take charge, you would probably be blinded in two strokes."

Luo Yun said sarcastically: "Don't you also have two generals, Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun?"

"And it's just money. Go to the street and ask anyone who doesn't know how to spend money."

Now is the early stage of the project, and there really isn't much work to do. It's just to notify each production team that they can apply for maintenance funds.

The whole project is actually quite complicated and trivial.

After receiving a rough maintenance plan written by the production team, Zhang Haiyang will review it based on the preliminary survey data.

If the maintenance plan passes the review, the funds will be released by bank transfer, and the construction results will be inspected and accepted later.

If it fails the review, let the production team modify the content and submit it for review again.

Whether it is review or acceptance, it is not easy to do.

Zhang Haiyang was very dissatisfied and said: "Hey, hey, I found that you love to erase other people's achievements."

"The letter to Hong Kong City was written by me, with the Chinese characters in the sentence, after careful revision of the draft."

"Before I wrote the letter, I went to the Education Bureau. When I was writing the letter, I went to the bank and the post office. I took people there."

"Without these preparations, even if others kindly donate money, we still have to wait and see whether we can get the money."

There was nothing wrong with what Zhang Haiyang said. Of course Luo Yun would not admit it. She changed the subject and said, "The people in Hong Kong City are really friendly." "I just wrote a letter introducing the situation of primary and secondary schools, and they directly sent me a million Come here."

Zhou Xiaobai heard Li Ming say the reason, "We just happened to meet a company that signed a big order with us."

"They donated 100 million yuan in the hope that we would supply the goods well and not hold them back and delay their production."

Zhang Haiyang guessed: "You heard what Li Ming said, right?"

"Yes. The company in Hong Kong City signed an 8000 million yuan pork purchase contract with us."

Zhou Xiaobai also praised: "The pig feed training class held by Zhang Haiyang last winter accounted for a lot of the credit for adding so much pork for export."

When his work performance was belittled, he argued anxiously. When he was really praised, Zhang Haiyang pretended to be modest again:

"The main work is done by everyone working together. I just do odd jobs and run errands."

Luo Yun questioned: "By the way, where are you going to escape now?"

Zhang Haiyang replied: "You just quit."

"Maintenance plans are delayed by sending letters. I plan to gather those who participated in the survey activities and ask them to go to the commune and brigade to notify them, and guide the preparation of the maintenance plan."

"The maintenance plans of each production brigade are handed over to the commune, and then we go down and collect them."

“This way we can reduce the feedback time.”

Zhang Haiyang was too lazy to explain to Luo Yun that these words were meant for Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai warned: "You have to tell them to pay more attention to safety on the way to the countryside."

Zhang Haiyang guaranteed: "Don't worry. They are all working in pairs, nothing will happen to them."

Not taking it seriously is a normal reaction.

The place with the highest security risk in Beijing right now is inside schools.

In addition to the two parties involved, the safety risk for others comes from being accidentally injured by the fire between the two groups.

For ordinary people, apart from the increase in idle gangsters on the streets, other public security issues are fine for the time being.

Zhou Xiaobai emphasized again: "What I said is that they should pay attention to traffic safety."

Zhang Haiyang said seriously: "I will remind them."

On rural roads, it is common to not obey traffic rules. This reminder is necessary.

4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiaobai called Li Ming at home to announce the good news.

"The 2 yuan we provided made the entire research team feel rich and wealthy."

"The foreign information you obtained also saved the research team a lot of detours."

"However, 888 samples were tested, and each of them was isolated, cultured, fermented, screened, and identified. It was not easy to find a strain that produced a large amount of gulonic acid."

Li Ming could hear the little beauty's joy from the microphone, but he didn't know much about the specific technology. "Is this considered a success now?"

Zhou Xiaobai's soft voice was really nice, "Not yet."

"I just found a direction to continue research, and a lot of experiments still need to be done."

"The cost of subsequent experiments will be even higher. I heard they said that fermentation costs hundreds of yuan per time, and if it is cultured in a large tank, it costs thousands of yuan per time."

Li Ming smiled and said: "For the following experiments, let the pharmaceutical factory apply for research funds."

"Our money cannot afford such a huge cost."

Zhou Xiaobai said sweetly: "I think so too."

Li Ming laughed and said, "I like you so much for being such a competent housekeeper. I love you so much."

After listening to it a lot, Zhou Xiaobai didn't even blush, and he was naturally very happy.

"If you can use molecular biology techniques as you envision, you can directly design and transform bacterial strains according to research needs."

"We can say goodbye to the current lengthy process of finding bacterial strains for isolation and culture, which can not only greatly shorten the time, but also significantly reduce research costs."

Li Ming decided: "When the research on vitamin C is completed, you will almost be able to exercise."

"I will help you find two or three experts in physics and chemistry, as well as a machinery factory, to work with you to make progress in molecular biology."

Zhou Xiaobai said softly: "The research on vitamin C is still early to be completed."

"I'll keep an eye on things in advance and help you prepare in advance."

Li Ming then said solemnly: "Congratulations on your achievements! I plan to give you a gift."

Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile: "What a gift!"

Chen Yijun, who was passing by, happened to hear it and glared at Zhou Xiaobai, telling him not to ask for gifts.

Zhou Xiaobai deliberately said loudly: "Xiao Ming, my mother just glared at me and refused to let me accept your gift."

Chen Yijun smiled and scolded: "Damn girl, I don't care about your business."

Li Ming said on the phone: "I'll prepare one for your mother, so she won't talk about you."

Zhou Xiaobai asked with a smile: "What about my dad?"

Li Ming joked: "Your dad is old-fashioned and doesn't give gifts well, so let's ignore him."

Zhou Xiaobai is obviously a leaky little cotton-padded jacket, "He is indeed an old-fashioned person."

"Besides, I just need to curry favor with my mother-in-law, while my father-in-law stays alone."

"Be careful I tell my dad."

"I'm not afraid even if you tell me. I said you taught me."

"Why are you such a scoundrel!"

"I'm such a scoundrel, and I'm relying on you."

"Take your time, I'm going to hang up the phone."

"You wait to receive the gift."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaobai was as happy as a little swallow scurrying around.

"Mom, Xiao Ming said that I also want to give you a gift."

Chen Yijun lectured: "You damn kid, just ask for a gift yourself."

Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly defended: "I didn't ask for my gift. It was Xiaoming who took the initiative to congratulate me on the progress of my research."

"I didn't ask for your gift. According to Xiao Ming, if you accept the gift, you will be embarrassed to talk to me again."

Chen Yijun laughed and said, "I can't understand the way you two are thinking."

"Where's your dad? Doesn't he have one?"

Zhou Xiaobai said confidently: "Xiao Ming said that he only needs to please you and doesn't need to pay much attention to my dad's old-fashioned attitude."

Chen Yijun was in a good mood and said happily: "Don't let your dad know."

"If you don't tell me, dad will definitely not know. He doesn't come back until midnight every day. I haven't seen anyone else for several days."

"Your dad is quite busy at work."

In the past few months, there have been many study classes held in the capital, some from directly affiliated agencies, and some from other provinces that were called to the capital.

Especially in provinces where no committees have been established, such as Fujian, Yunnan, Guangxi, Xinjiang, and Tibet, the leaders of both groups have been called to the capital for study classes.

Many practices in universities are conspicuous. (End of chapter)
