Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 233: Melba Farm College Student Quota

Late April 1961, Montana, North America.

After plowing the ground twice with a howitzer, Zhao Mancang started laying mines and setting traps on the nearby road without saying a word.

Two hours later, he turned his car around and left.

If the people behind want to catch up, they must first pass through these traps.

Since Zhao Mancang already knew that someone was waiting for them and had greeted them with artillery shells, he could choose to leave here in other ways.

However, helicopters or airplanes are still too dangerous, so we have to give up this method for the time being.

A day and a half later, Zhao Mancang finally left Montana and entered Idaho.

After entering Idaho, Zhao Mancang found that the pursuers behind him were no longer visible. In other words, they were now relatively safe.

After everything was back to normal, Zhao Mancang still frequently changed cars to erase any traces of his presence here.

Finally, after a day, we arrived safely at the small city of Meridian.

Once we got here, everything became much simpler.

In fact, Zhao Mancang still hasn’t figured out how Zuo Changsheng and the others stirred up a hornet’s nest?

Half a day later, Zhao Mancang finally contacted Fan Xuexin and others who had just arrived in the small town of Meridian. Zuo Changsheng, Pan Chengdong and others had not appeared yet.

"Xiao Fan, tell me, why did you encounter such great trouble on this mission? Why are there so many pursuers? Did you accidentally reveal your whereabouts? Or is this mission itself a trap?"

Zhao Mancang pulled Fan Xuexin aside and asked him solemnly about the details.

To be honest, if Zhao Mancang didn't ask clearly, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Fan Xuexin was also quite confused, because this matter was beyond his understanding and he himself didn't know the specific cause.

After listening to Fan Xuexin's entire statement, Zhao Mancang pondered for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Okay, I understand. Don't feel too burdened. This is a rare and valuable experience for you. You must be more cautious when carrying out such missions in the future."

"Okay, Brother Zhao, I understand." Fan Xuexin nodded firmly.

This incident doesn't seem like a trap, but the many coincidences make Zhao Mancang suspect that this is most likely a trap deliberately planned by Sam.

It’s because almost every one of the more than ten people rescued by Zuo Changsheng and his team is very important.

This time, Zuo Changsheng and his team traveled thousands of miles to the North American continent to carry out a rescue mission. It was not so dangerous originally, but now it seems that it is really too dangerous.

As the night deepened, Zuo Changsheng and his companions gradually arrived at the gathering point. By dawn, everyone had returned safely.

Zuo Changsheng and the others had never expected that after their separate escapes, they would arrive in the small town of Meridian so smoothly.

In fact, even Zhao Mancang himself did not expect that it was such a coincidence. Otherwise, if the Lady Jiaolong reconnaissance plane had captured the scene of their scattered escape, it would not be so easy to explain.

After learning more about the details before and after the rescue mission from Zuo Changsheng, Pan Chengdong and others, Zhao Mancang became more certain that Sam had deliberately passed the news and done something intentional.

It's a pity that our intelligence personnel didn't realize that this message was a trap.

Or even if it is discovered, it is too late.

Maybe the intelligence officer has already died.

Of course, the current situation is not to consider these, but how to bring the more than ten rescued scientific researchers and agents back to the capital.

"Everyone, the situation is complicated now. You definitely cannot leave together, and we still have four injured people."

Zhao Mancang gathered everyone together and blurted out his thoughts:

"For the next period of time, you will all go to a farm to settle down and stay there for two to three months. After this storm has passed, I will arrange for you to leave."

"The four wounded still need better care and recuperation. We can't run away anymore, otherwise, it will be very troublesome."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Zuo Changsheng and the others had no objection.

Anyone could harm them, but Zhao Mancang wouldn't.

Since he said he was recuperating on the farm, there is absolutely no problem.

"Okay, let's go now. I've already made arrangements for the farm. There's no one else there right now. When you get there, except for Lao Zuo and the others, no one else is allowed to leave the farm."

After clarifying the plan, Zhao Mancang led more than 30 people to leave the small town of Meridian and come to the small town of Mountain Home.

There are many mountains in this town, and the population of this town is very, very small, only three or four thousand people, so everyone can rest better when coming here.

After entering the town of Mountain Home, Zhao Mancang had changed into a white appearance, and Zuo Changsheng and the others were the same, all disguised.

"We are now heading to Melba Farm. This farm is very beautiful, with all the necessary facilities. There is only one small path leading to the farm."

Soon, after driving nearly five kilometers, we finally arrived at Melba Farm.

After arriving at the place, Zuo Changsheng and the others completely relaxed because the environment here was indeed beautiful.

Agent Gao Chengan checked everywhere diligently, but found nothing.

Backed by a big mountain and surrounded by hills dozens of meters above sea level, Melba Farm is located in a basin in the middle.

The area is not small.

It is such a farm, where many cows, horses and sheep are raised.

What made Zuo Changsheng and his friends most excited was that there was a large open space in front of the villa and the cowboy dormitory. This open space could be developed to grow vegetables.

In this way, they will not have to worry about having no vegetables to eat when living here.

As for meat, the farm has over a hundred cows and more than two hundred sheep, which is more than enough.

The farm is obviously very large, but it does not raise more cattle, sheep and other livestock. It can only be said that the North American continent is rich in resources, but the locals do not know how to use these resources.

Any descendant of the dragon, upon seeing such a large and beautiful field, would definitely make good use of it.

"Lao Zuo, come here for a moment."

Zhao Mancang called Zuo Changsheng and others over. Inside the open door, there were a lot of weapons and ammunition, which were enough to equip a reinforced company.

"You all saw this. This is the weapon I left for you. If you encounter force majeure, you must organize a counterattack immediately."

"The area outside is definitely blocked off now, especially since we still have four seriously injured people. Leaving at this time will only lead to trouble."

"This farm is our safe house for now. You can stay here with peace of mind. In about two to three months, our wounded will be able to move out. By then, it will be much easier for us to leave here."

Pan Chengdong, Zuo Changsheng, Fan Xuexin and others certainly understood clearly, but they did not ask where Zhao Mancang was going or what he was going to do.

Originally, they were supposed to carry out this mission independently, but Zhao Mancang became their nanny and escorted them.

In fact, if it weren’t for Zhao Mancang, no matter what they said this time, several lives would be lost, and the entire army might even be wiped out.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Mancang left Melba Farm.

The North American continent is a continent full of miracles. Zhao Mancang likes it very much because he can fire as much as he wants here!
Silicon Valley, Charleston Road, Lookout Mountain, Fairchild Semiconductor, North American headquarters.

"Robert, this is our boss. He's here in person to participate in this negotiation. I believe you should be able to understand our determination, right?"

Fred Soto said proudly that Zhao Mancang actually didn't like the former's attitude, but the other party was just that kind of person, and he was working for him.

In order to invest in North American companies, especially technology companies, Zhao Mancang hired Fred Soto as the general manager of Strawberry Holdings through a headhunting company and after an interview.

Strawberry Holdings is different from the investment companies previously established by Zhao Mancang, such as Atlantic Capital and Angel Bay Venture Capital, because the boss behind Angel Bay Venture Capital is "Zhao Changshou", while the boss behind Strawberry Holdings is Zhao Mancang's pseudonym "Smith".

Smith's vest is actually the same as the previous Lingguang County vest.

With such a vest, it would be much easier for Zhao Mancang to act.

Of course, Strawberry Holdings generally only makes financial investments and does not intervene too much.

Just like Fairchild Semiconductor, this company was only prosperous in the 1960s, and began to decline after entering the 1970s.

The reason why Zhao Mancang invests in Fairchild Semiconductor now is more because there are many people in this company who are worth investing in. For example, the founder of the famous Intel Corporation in later generations came from Fairchild Semiconductor.

While Zuo Changsheng and the others are still recuperating at Melba Farm, Zhao Mancang will come out to invest and return to the mainland in a couple of days.

Fairchild Semiconductor quickly accepted Zhao Mancang's investment.

On the other hand, Zhao Mancang also began to get involved in the computer field and established a company called Robot.

As long as he has enough aliases, he will be able to enter more areas in North America.

And if they start investing in the 1960s, it won’t take long, just ten years, and there will be many large companies related to him throughout North America.

It is possible that investment companies such as Atlantic Capital, Angel Bay Ventures, and Quantum Holdings will be discovered by Sam's people, but Zhao Man believes that they will definitely not be able to discover other companies under different names such as Strawberry Holdings.

As long as they can't find out, they will think they are one of them.

By then, as long as Zhao Mancang is strong enough, he can form his own alliances and become a newly emerging capital consortium on the North American continent.

But these are things in the more distant future, and it is too early to talk about them now.

After all, companies like Intel haven't been established yet, so there's no need to rush.

A week later, Zhao Mancang left the North American continent and went to Southeast Asia to check. He found that Mi Shouyang, Tie Wanzhong and others had already completed their mission and returned to the capital.

In this case, Zhao Mancang breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to Hong Kong and Kowloon, Zhao Mancang quietly returned to Beijing.

"Mancang, you're back. Where are Xiao Zuo and the others?"

At No. 8 Guozi Lane, Wei Huayong was quite surprised when he saw Zhao Mancang coming back.

Mi Shouyang and Tie Wanzhong were the ones who went to pick up Zhao Mancang. He flew back to Nanyuan Airport. Before he came back, the telegram had already been sent to Guozi Lane.

"Lao Zuo and the others are still in North America. This time is quite dangerous."

Zhao Mancang sat down and complained to Wei Huayong about this mission in North America.

As the head of the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization, although he leads the Jiaolong Army most of the time, this does not mean that Zhao Mancang is indifferent to the Longxing Research Institute and Tenglong Factory.

In any case, Zhao Mancang cannot be the nanny of the Jiaolong Army. He must be responsible for the entire comprehensive organization.

However, the current Jiaolong Army was established not long ago. Even though the recruits are all the elite among the soldiers, the soldiers are not well-rounded and all are top talents.

Take makeup techniques, for example. Fan Xuexin and his friends at Melba Farm are currently working hard to learn them. If they don't pass, Zhao Mancang will have to personally go there in two months to help them.

After hearing this, Wei Huayong opened his mouth and said after a while:

"Mancang, you've worked hard!"

"Why is it hard? It's not hard at all. As long as they can complete their mission safely and smoothly, I'll be relieved."

Zhao Mancang waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"The current situation is that they are still staying at Melba Farm, and the four injured are indeed seriously injured."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I did bring back a lot of good stuff this time. Hehe, I believe Professor Wei and the others next door will definitely like it."

Hearing this, Wei Huayong suddenly became curious.

But before he could ask for details, Gu Haidong appeared at the door.

"Captain Zhao, I heard you're back. How's it going? Did the mission go smoothly this time?"

"Director Gu, things aren't going smoothly. Lao Zuo and his team of more than 30 people are still in North America. Because there are four seriously injured, they can only recuperate there for the time being. I have made arrangements."

Zhao Mancang's answer made Gu Haidong nod, and that was considered the completion of the work report.

As for the good things Zhao Mancang mentioned just now, they are still on the train back to Beijing and have not arrived yet.

After staying in Guozi Lane for a while, Zhao Mancang went home.

Lin Wan happened to be at home today because she was on vacation.

"Mancang, you're back. That's great. I have good news for you."

As soon as he got home, Zhao Mancang heard the good news that Lin Wan was pregnant again.

She went to the hospital for a check-up a week ago and was confirmed to be pregnant, and is now almost two months pregnant.

Today is May 5th, and Zhao Mancang was quite surprised that she was confirmed to be pregnant at this time.

The last time he was in Beijing, she hadn't even had morning sickness yet, but now she's confirmed to be pregnant, which was pretty fast.

I can only say that sometimes, unexpected surprises come so quickly.

This is Lin Wan’s third child. Zhao Mancang doesn’t have much expectations and is happy with either a son or a daughter.

"Then how long will you stay back this time?"

After chatting excitedly for a few sentences, Lin Wan began to change the subject:
"Last time you said you could stay for a while, but in less than ten days you left again, and then you were gone for more than half a month."

"This is beyond my control, but this time, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to stay at home for more than a month to two months."

When Lin Wan heard what Zhao Mancang said, her eyes suddenly brightened.

At this time, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi came over. The two sisters were already two years old and could walk very fast.

They were still a little unfamiliar with Zhao Mancang because they hadn't seen him for more than half a month, so it was normal to feel a little unfamiliar.

But in less than half an hour, they were having a lot of fun with their father.

It wasn't until Zhao Huijun came back from get out of class and screamed that the whole yard became completely restless.

After staying at home for three and a half days, Wei Huayong called me.

The good things he brought back were shipped to the capital, and were brought back to the Longxing Research Institute by Mi Shouyang and others.

After Zhao Mancang hung up the phone, he said something to his mother-in-law, Lin Wan and others, and then set off for Guozi Lane.

In the courtyard of the Longxing Research Institute, Professor Wei Changyuan and others were looking at the machinery and equipment in front of them with excitement, as if they had seen a peerless beauty.

"Director Zhao, you're here. That's great! Do you know what these are? This is Sam's most advanced equipment, used to manufacture computer chips."

Wei Changyuan, Luo Jiaying, Zhang Kejian, Yuan Yumin and others were very excited, especially Li Baoshan, who pointed at the equipment with trembling hands. When he saw Mi Shouyang trying to reach out to touch the equipment, he was immediately scolded and driven away.

"Director Zhao, these devices should not be sent to our Longxing Research Institute, but to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are the only computer research institute in our Dongda University, and only they can develop the transistor computer we want."

Li Baoshan's words made Zhao Mancang very unhappy.

So he immediately frowned and snorted:
"Professor Li, you're just being a typical bitch. These are the equipment I painstakingly brought back from abroad. They're the work of our Jiaolong Integrated Organization. But after you say that, is there anything wrong with me bringing these devices back?"

"The Chinese Academy of Sciences is pretty good, but I heard they have an IBM 709 computer? That's an all-transistor computer. As far as I know, two years ago, someone paid a huge price to buy two of these computers from IBM." "Now, two years have passed, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences hasn't made a single announcement. You can imagine their R&D capabilities."

"I'm not looking down on them, but our Longxing Research Institute shouldn't be so self-deprecating as to throw away good things. So, I might as well apply to emancipate our comprehensive institution."

When everyone in the yard heard what Zhao Mancang said, their faces changed drastically.

In particular, several professors including Wei Changyuan kept winking at Li Baoshan.

The latter may not be clear about how high Zhao Mancang's status is, but people like Wei Changyuan certainly know.

Especially researchers like Luo Jiaying who joined the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization before the Spring Festival know it best.

Unfortunately, Li Baoshan is still very straightforward and sticks to his own opinion.

"Director Zhao, I know the purpose of your founding the Longxing Research Institute is to revitalize our country. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is the same, and they started researching computers even earlier than we did."

Before Li Baoshan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Mancang:
"Professor Li, since you admire the Chinese Academy of Sciences so much, please report there. My temple here is too small to accommodate a great figure like you. Please feel free to do as you please!"

you! ! !
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Baoshan's face suddenly became very ugly. He pointed at Zhao Mancang and was speechless for a long time.

Good thing, he was just being fair. After all, the equipment used to manufacture computer chips was incredibly advanced. How long had the Longxing Research Institute been established? How many researchers could it possibly have?
Isn't it a waste to give such high-tech equipment to those inexperienced youngsters?
These devices were hard to come by in the first place, so they must be handed over to more experienced scientific researchers.

As a result, Zhao Mancang can't tell good from bad, and he wants to fire people if they disagree with him. Isn't this too humiliating?

Li Baoshan was furious and humiliated by Zhao Mancang's words, so he turned around and left.

But they were stopped by Wei Changyuan and others.

"Director Zhao, you can't fire Professor Li like this. Professor Li just spoke too quickly."

Wei Changyuan, Peng Xitian and others tried their best to stop Li Baoshan while persuading Zhao Mancang.

But Zhao Mancang would never want such a traitor. Since the other party misses the Chinese Academy of Sciences so much, then just go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although Zhao Mancang does not look down on the Chinese Academy of Sciences, on the contrary he respects it very much, but it must be said that there are always some people who like to take advantage of their seniority or who are disloyal to their own people.

Then Zhao Mancang definitely doesn't like such a person.

As for where these devices should be placed, haha, doesn’t Zhao Mancang have the right to decide this?
What's more, this was something he brought back, not something he got through trading with Ma Jiugong and others.

Besides, eight or nine days ago, Zhao Mancang completed a transaction with Ma Jiugong and others in Hong Kong Island, which included this part of the equipment.

Li Baoshan still left the Longxing Research Institute. After this incident, Zhao Mancang felt more and more that poaching researchers from other institutions was not a good thing, and he had to go to the leaders to ask for more college students.

Because college students have just graduated, especially now it is May, college students who graduated this year can grab some.

Even though these college students may have already been reserved by various departments, Zhao Mancang believes that with his face, he will definitely be able to add some more college student places, right?
In the Lingjing Hutong office, Zhao Mancang's arrival surprised the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

After a few polite words, Zhao Mancang went straight to the point. After all, the leader was very busy and the meeting time was only ten minutes in total, so it was better to make a quick decision.

"Leader, it's like this. Our Longxing Research Institute has already started operations and has established several R&D projects. However, it seems that we are extremely short of talent right now."

"So I hope that this year's graduates can add 200 more places to our Longxing Research Institute?"

hiss!
When the leader heard that there were two hundred places, his eyes widened in surprise.

This is definitely a typical example of a lion asking for too much. How could he possibly ask for so much?

That’s too much!

The leader immediately cut the number by more than half, allowing only fifty, but Zhao Mancang persuaded them earnestly, and finally agreed to one hundred and twenty-five places for college students.

After confirming, Zhao Mancang happily took the note and left.

Then he immediately went to Peking University and Tsinghua University to recruit people.

In fact, there are also many good students in Harbin Institute of Technology in the Northeast, as well as other schools such as Nanjing University and Fudan University, but those places are too far away.

It’s not that Zhao Mancang is unwilling to go to such a far place, but he estimates that those students may not be willing to come to Beijing to work.

"What? You want fifty university student places?"

The president of Peking University originally wanted to meet Zhao Mancang and see the legendary hero, but he just took out the note approved by the leader and relevant supporting documents, and the president was dumbfounded.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about all that. He needed people right away and told them to report directly to Guozi Lane. There was no need to wait any longer.

Moreover, Guozi Lane has already made preparations for the reception, dormitory arrangements, etc., and the treatment in all aspects is definitely not bad.

However, even so, the Peking University president still felt a little overwhelmed and didn't know whether he should agree to Zhao Mancang.

But the leaders have already approved it, and the Peking University president can't stop it.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang didn’t care about anything else and just took the person away first.

So, in just one day, Zhao Mancang took away seventy students from Peking University and fifty-five from Tsinghua University.

All the places were used up in no time.

It is almost conceivable that within half a month, or even within a week, all major units will definitely cause trouble for the two principals.

But Zhao Mancang didn't care about that. After bringing the people back to Longxing Research Institute, he made good arrangements for them.

"Hiss, is this a wire bonding machine? Is this an exposure device? Are these photoelectric repeaters?"

Peking University students, led by Han Qicheng, Wang Yiyun, Tang Ceshan, Yao Zhaowei, Shi Bole and others, were all shocked by the equipment displayed by the Longxing Research Institute.

They had never imagined that the Longxing Research Institute would have so many advanced devices. They had only heard of many of the devices and had never seen photos of them, let alone the real thing.

"Wow, it seems we have come to the right place. This is where we should be. Such an environment, such facilities, wow, it's so developed!"

Tang Ceshan said this excitedly, and Shi Bole and others beside him also had excited expressions on their faces.

Seeing that they looked naive, veteran researchers like Luo Jiaying curled their lips, but were secretly delighted in their hearts.

Zhao Mancang actually thought that these college students were quite cute.

"Dear university students, I'm just a rough guy. I don't understand these technologies, and I can't do scientific research, but I believe that Longxing Research Institute will be able to develop more and better equipment in the future."

"As the head of this organization, I can make you a promise right now: if you have any needs, as long as our Jiaolong Army can provide them, please let me know and I will fulfill them for you."

"Just like these pieces of equipment in front of you, I just brought them back from Sam. I won't tell you how much money and effort it took to make them, but you just need to remember one thing: our Jiaolong Army desperately needs the help of your Longxing Research Institute."

The first product of Longxing Research Institute should be bulletproof vests, but the materials of bulletproof vests, such as aramid fiber, require time to develop.

Fiber materials are very novel materials for many scientific researchers of this era, but they are not so easy to obtain.

College students like Tang Ceshan quickly got into the game as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

These are a very smart group of people. When they get together, they can often brainstorm. Zhao Mancang believes that these people can come up with scientific research results soon.

After this incident, Zhao Mancang finally had a few days of peace, but it was only a few days before trouble came knocking.

First of all, there are large units, such as the BAIC Manufacturing Plant, which has tens of thousands of workers. Although they already have a lot of talents, they also need college students, especially Peking University students.

"Secretary Cheng, our Longxing Research Institute was established not long ago and we are short of talent. Please be kind and show some mercy."

Zhao Mancang sat in the office, politely and warmly entertaining the aggressive Cheng Ziyang.

As long as this person is stopped, there is no need to worry about other subsequent units.

"No, Director Zhao, I know your Longxing Institute is short of people, but this is not how it's done. You're acting first and asking for permission later, which is not in accordance with procedure."

Cheng Ziyang was very angry, but he also knew who Zhao Mancang was.

Although Zhao Mancang is only the head of the newly established Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization, his contributions are great.

But this is an individual, not an organization.

The Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization was established only a few months ago and its status is not that important yet.

"Secretary Cheng, we are absolutely following the procedures." Zhao Mancang argued, while also showing his good intentions:

"Secretary Cheng, you should know that our Longxing Research Institute will be researching other areas in the future, not just bulletproof vests."

"And this time I came back from North America, I also brought back some very good technology. I believe your BAIC Manufacturing Plant really needs it."

After saying that, Zhao Mancang asked Mi Shouyang to bring up the information.

It was a large box of technical information. Cheng Ziyang didn't know what the information was, but after he finished looking through it, he was shocked.

Wow, all the information here is technology related to cars.

Among them, there are several copies of engine technology, which is completely different from the engine technology imitated by their BAIC Manufacturing Plant for other foreign cars.

"Director Zhao, are these the latest technical data developed in North America?"

"Secretary Cheng, you can see it all. I don't need to explain it, right?"

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"These technical materials were brought back by me during my previous missions. I don't know if they'll be useful, but I brought them back anyway as long as they could fit. Unfortunately, I can't bring back their large vehicles or equipment."

When Cheng Ziyang heard this, he immediately became anxious and slapped his thigh.

He said with regret:
"Director Zhao, you should have brought those equipment back. If you could have brought those equipment back, not only would we have given you the twelve university student quotas at our factory, but we would have also given you the other university student quotas."

"Really?" Zhao Mancang suddenly asked back excitedly, his tone rising a lot.

Almost broke my voice!
The Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Plant is the largest automobile factory in the Beijing area, with more than 10,000 workers.

Moreover, this company was the only one in Beijing that reduced its staff by only 500 workers in June last year.

Last year, Khrushchev suddenly withdrew the Moscow experts, and the first wave of layoffs occurred across the country, with a full 20 million people laid off and returned to the countryside.

In many units, the entire factory has even come to a standstill.

However, the Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Plant is different. This unit does not rely too much on Moscow experts. Moreover, since the Jinggangshan automobile and others have been successfully imitated one after another, their unit has also trained a number of researchers.

Because of this, the entire BAIC Manufacturing Plant was relatively calm during last year's wave of layoffs, and not many accidents occurred.

A large factory with tens of thousands of workers naturally has a high annual output value and is highly valued by the leaders above.

If the leaders pay attention to it, then the unit will definitely be able to get more resources, and college student resources are one of them.

In addition to the places for college students, there are also places for technical secondary school students, etc. In short, these places are very good resources.

The Longxing Research Institute led by Zhao Mancang has only been established for a few months, and the demand for talent is extremely strong.

Seeing Zhao Mancang's eyes shining, Cheng Ziyang nodded seriously and said:
“Yes, these technologies are indeed critical to our BAIC manufacturing plant, but compared to these technologies, we need more production equipment and raw materials.”

BAIC Manufacturing is a large enterprise, and the automobile products it produces have no trouble selling.

Many units really want cars. Previously, Ma Jiugong, Yuan Yushan and others asked Comrade Li to purchase a lot of transport vehicles.

However, these transport vehicles are just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge domestic transportation demand.

Compared to having to spend foreign currency or gold to purchase these equipment or cars, Cheng Ziyang obviously hopes that Zhao Mancang can bring them back directly from abroad.

Even if Zhao Mancang asks for a higher price at that time, Cheng Ziyang will be able to accept it because he does not need to apply to the Foreign Exchange Department.

You know, we are already short of foreign exchange, and most of the foreign exchange is tied up in some big projects.

Take the automobile industry for example. Although BAIC Motor built its factory in Beijing, FAW Motor is actually more important than it.

Therefore, every time Cheng Ziyang wanted to apply for a project or materials and equipment, he could only queue behind FAW Manufacturing Plant.

The competition in the automotive industry is fierce, and foreign exchange is extremely scarce. It is conceivable how difficult it is for Cheng Ziyang, the secretary of the Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Plant, to do anything.

"Okay, no problem. It's settled then. I'll be going to North America again in about two months. I'll try to bring back the equipment you need."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang immediately nodded.

These production equipment are machine tools and other equipment on the automobile production line, and many of them are automated equipment. For the BAIC Manufacturing Plant, they are all very high-end and advanced equipment.

If Zhao Mancang could really bring back such equipment, not to mention the quota for college students, even some researchers from the BAIC Manufacturing Plant would be available for selection.

So, Cheng Ziyang was dealt with just like that.

The other party came in angrily, but went back laughing happily.

Many other units also came to him, and Zhao Mancang resolved them one by one.

With Zhao Mancang in charge of the Longxing Research Institute, there is certainly no need to be afraid of these things.

It was only at this time that Zhao Mancang realized that he was quite famous in the capital.

For example, when the units from the Institute of Atomic Research came to see him, they were very polite. It didn't seem like they were there to accuse him of anything. Instead, they came to show concern for Zhao Mancang's health.

Three days passed, and on this day, Zhao Mancang was still staying in Guozi Lane, thinking that some units might not have arrived yet?

As a result, at nine o'clock this morning, two units came, and they happened to come together.

"Director Zhao, I wonder if your Longxing Research Institute is still short of college students?"

After a few pleasantries, the leaders of the Beijing Heavy Machine Tool Factory and the North China Metal Structure Factory smiled and asked directly.

Zhao Mancang was a little confused for a moment. Why were they so proactive in asking about this matter? Did they have a solution?

"Of course we do. Our Longxing Research Institute was established not long ago. We have everything we need except talent, and university graduates are the most lacking."

Without making any noise, Zhao Mancang carefully observed the people opposite him, wondering in his heart what their intentions were.

The next moment, the leader of the Beijing Heavy Machine Tool Factory immediately asked with a smile:
"Okay, Director Zhao, if I still have some university student quotas, I wonder if you would like to take them?"

This is?

In an instant, Zhao Mancang's thoughts turned countless times, and he quickly guessed the other party's intention.

He immediately wanted to nod and agree, but when the words came to his lips, he asked the other party what the conditions were.
The reason why these two leaders came to see him was most likely because Cheng Ziyang from BAIC Manufacturing had leaked some information before, and they knew that Zhao Mancang could bring back a lot of excellent equipment and technology for BAIC Manufacturing.

Whether it is the Beijing Heavy Machine Tool Factory or the North China Metal Structure Factory, neither of these two units is a small factory.

For example, the North China Metal Structure Factory had more than 3,000 workers in 1958, and was also an important partner in the atomic bomb project.

The giant mushroom that grew in the Northwest in April, one of the hundred-meter iron towers standing in the Gobi Desert, had its tower frame manufactured by the North China Metal Structure Factory.

Both companies are not small organizations and must have many places for college students.

Zhao Mancang was very tempted, but it also depended on their conditions.
