Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

Chapter 1111 Enlightenment
Zhou Ziwen discovered that compared to running a factory, selling technology seemed to be the most profitable.

Opening a factory requires a large amount of capital to purchase land, build factory buildings, buy equipment, recruit and train workers, etc. These initial costs are like a heavy mountain that makes people breathless.

Selling technology is not so complicated. You only need to license the research and development results to companies in need to obtain huge profits, and the capital recovery speed is much faster than the long-term operating profit model of traditional factories.

Now it is 2007 or 2008. In fact, the country has gradually relaxed its policies and allowed individuals to do business.

Of course, because the policy has just been opened up, everyone is still a little scared and dare not gamble easily.

But Zhou Ziwen is not in a hurry. He is still a student. After a few years, he can start his own business.

During his school days, Zhou Ziwen did not relax his academic efforts because of his future career plans.

He thrived in the graduate courses, and with his solid foundation and unremitting efforts, he achieved deeper academic attainments in professional fields such as machinery and automation control.

In class, he often engages in heated academic discussions with professors and classmates. His unique insights and innovative thinking always trigger everyone's thinking and resonance, further consolidating his position in the academic circle.

In his spare time, he is active in various scientific research projects and even developed a new type of material that has super high strength and toughness while being extremely light, showing great application potential in the field of mechanical manufacturing.

After numerous experiments and improvements, Zhou Ziwen and his team successfully optimized the production process of this material, enabling it to be produced on a large scale industrially.

At an on-campus scientific research achievement exhibition, the new material developed by Zhou Ziwen attracted great attention from teachers and students throughout the school as soon as it was unveiled.

Experts rave about its performance and believe that it will bring revolutionary breakthroughs in the field of mechanical engineering.

After hearing the news, many companies took the initiative to contact Zhou Ziwen and expressed strong intention to cooperate, hoping to obtain production authorization for this new material or participate in subsequent research and development work.

Faced with the enthusiasm of many companies, Zhou Ziwen was not blinded by the immediate benefits.

He selected two factories with good reputation and strength and reached a cooperation agreement with them.

During the cooperation process, Zhou Ziwen fully utilized his professional advantages and negotiation skills to obtain the most favorable cooperation conditions for both parties.

After handing over the technology to the factory, Zhou Ziwen didn't pay much attention to it.

To him, these were just small amounts of money, just something he could do easily.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already 1979.

Compared with previous years, the social and economic environment has undergone new changes and developments.

The business atmosphere in the city is becoming increasingly strong, with all kinds of individual shops emerging in the streets and alleys, and people's entrepreneurial enthusiasm is gradually rising with the continuous encouragement of policies.

After all, there is always a shortage of people in the world who dare to take risks and pursue opportunities.

In this entrepreneurial boom, Zhou Ziwen still maintains his own pace and moves forward steadily on the path of academic and technological research and development.

The new materials he developed have gradually emerged in the market through the production of cooperative factories and have been widely used in many high-end machinery manufacturing fields. From precision instruments to large-scale engineering equipment, the performance has leapt due to the addition of this material.

This not only brought huge profits to the cooperating factories, but also made Zhou Ziwen's reputation in the industry soar.

……

That day, after dinner, Zhou Ziwen was discussing Yueyue's schooling with the two sisters. Calculating the time, Yueyue is already four years old.

According to the standards of the previous life, this age would already be in kindergarten.

But in this era, educational resources are relatively scarce, there are not many kindergartens, and the quality of teaching is uneven.

Children of this generation usually start to study at the age of six.

However, Zhou Ziwen did not want to start Yueyue's education too late.

Zhou Ziwen pondered for a moment and said to Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying:

"We can't follow the usual routine. Xiao Yueyue's education cannot be delayed. I have an idea. We can teach her some basic knowledge ourselves first, and then let her go to school to study systematically when she reaches school age."

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying looked at each other, both showing approval in their eyes.

Chen Qiaoyi was the first to speak: "Brother Ziwen, your idea is right. We can use our usual time to teach Yueyue some basic skills. I can teach her some simple arithmetic and writing, starting with things in life, so that she can understand them easily."

Chen Shiying also nodded and said, "I can also teach Yueyue about natural sciences to cultivate her observation and curiosity about the world around her. We can work out a detailed study plan together so that she can gain something every day."

They did what they said. In the following days, Zhou Ziwen and his family began the journey of enlightenment education for little Yueyue.

Every night, under the warm light, Chen Qiaoyi would hold literacy cards and patiently teach Yueyue to recognize and read Chinese characters, starting with the simple "person, mouth, hand", using vivid metaphors to help her remember while teaching.

Little Yueyue opened her big eyes and read attentively. Her serious look made people feel pity for her.

Chen Shiying would take Yueyue to the yard to observe the flowers, plants and trees, and explain to her the growth process and characteristics of plants. Yueyue would ask some innocent questions from time to time, such as "Why are leaves green?"

Chen Shiying would give detailed answers to all the questions, which aroused little Yueyue's strong interest in natural sciences.

Zhou Ziwen would also join in during his free time. He used his knowledge of mechanics to make some simple teaching aids, such as a simple counter made of wood and gears, to help Yueyue understand the concept of numbers and the principles of calculation.

In such an atmosphere full of love and knowledge, Yueyue’s enthusiasm for learning is high and she is making rapid progress.

As time goes by, Yueyue's knowledge reserves gradually enriched.

Not only can she read and write simple Chinese characters skillfully, she can also perform basic addition and subtraction, and has a preliminary understanding of natural science knowledge.

She has a quick mind and a quick response, and can often come up with some creative ideas, which makes Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters very happy.

In the process of educating Yueyue, Zhou Ziwen also realized that in addition to imparting knowledge, cultivating children's character and interests is equally important.

He began to focus on Yueyue's moral education. At the same time, he also encouraged Yueyue to develop her own interests and hobbies, such as painting and music.

Little Yueyue shows a strong interest in painting.

Zhou Ziwen prepared paintbrushes and drawing paper for her and encouraged her to express her ideas freely.

Yueyue’s paintings are full of childish innocence and imagination. The sun she painted is colorful and the little animals she painted all have cute expressions.

When Zhou Ziwen saw these paintings, his heart was filled with pride.
