I am reborn without a pattern

"Zhang Nan, how much is the dividend this year?"

Too lazy to eat at home, Zhang Haonan still strolled to the community canteen in the evening to have a meal. Today, the canteen has wontons, so there are many old men and women who come. After swiping their meal cards, they each took a bowl and gathered at the table to eat and chat.

Because the machinery factory is gone, there is less movement. Only some shoe and clothing processes are left in the village, or it is packaging and sub-packaging. For the elderly, it can be regarded as keeping working.

The land has basically been used to open greenhouses. There are very few private plots. Basically, there is a little bit in the yard in front of each household, about one mu of land, and you can finish the work by bending down a little.

The main daily work, in addition to housework, is some light odd jobs or piecework. For the elderly, it is a place to kill time, where you can chat, make some money, and prevent yourself from dying without anyone knowing.

At this time, Zhang Haonan brought his dog to eat. Zhang Gangqian, the energetic old man, asked casually. Several old men around were also curious and started talking.

"Are the New Year's goods still seafood this year? I like swimming crabs the most. I don't want blue crabs. They are not delicious."

"I heard from Xiaoyan that there are gold bars? Is it true? Wouldn't it be too ostentatious to give out gold bars?"

Snoring.

Taking a mouthful of knife-cut noodles, Zhang Haonan ate tomato scrambled eggs with knife-cut noodles today. The chef came from Shanxi this year and was also a comrade-in-arms of Mao Jianmin, the manager of the community canteen. He flew to Jinyang specifically and found this comrade-in-arms who made noodles in a coal washing plant through the organizational relationship of the old army.

Although he was not young, Mao Jianmin was very sincere. The chef quit his job of 700 yuan a month, took all his belongings, and left with Mao Jianmin.

Indeed, his skills are good. He can make stretched noodles, noodles, rice wrappers, etc. He also has his own unique skills in making big meat steamed buns from Mengwu Province. The spices that remove greasiness and enhance fragrance just happen to suit the taste of Shacheng. So after half a year, he often went to the "Daqiao Food Factory" to help.

Lv Weidong originally planned to develop frozen meat steamed buns, but the fat ratio has always been a problem. According to the experience of Liangjiang Province, the seasoning is not good enough.

"Taihu Road Light Industry Technical School" also thinks that it is possible to learn from the north. Generally, when "Daqiao Food" develops new products, workers and technicians will be involved. Most of the time, the professional skills of workers are cooking.

So this master feels like he has won the lottery. The only possible flaw is that the big boss is not particular about eating noodles. As long as it is edible, it's fine...

Zhang Haonan can stir-fry cabbage and mix it with noodles. In the eyes of the noodle chef, this is too fucking foolish.

Today was a good day, with fried tomato and egg mixed with sliced ​​noodles, but there was also a basket of meat steamed buns next to it, pork, beef and mutton, which looked to be more than one and a half pounds.

It was so choking.

However, through the window, the chef saw those meat steamed buns one after another, who would eat fried tomato and egg mixed with sliced ​​noodles and use meat steamed buns as a side dish?

"The boss's appetite is really big..."

"It's okay, it was big when I first came, four or five years ago, he used a pot for a meal."

"..."

Hearing Mao Jianmin's words, the comrades from Shanxi could only be amazed.

If you are not a person who does heavy physical work, how can you eat like this on a daily basis?

Just as he was sighing, Mao Jianmin made a bowl of soup, carried a tray, and limped over to Zhang Haonan.

"Zhacai and small green vegetables, help digestion."

Zhang Haonan stuffed the steamed buns in his mouth, nodded, and then picked up the soup bowl and slurped it.

After eating, he said to the grandfathers: "Fei Yan said to give out gold bars?"

"Yes, she said she has several hundred kilograms."

"..."

Boss Zhang's face trembled, thinking that he was not wrong.

"Has the team paid out the dividends this year?"

"Wu Renjuan said that the embankment has more, and other teams have less. She wants to hold a meeting to explain something."

"Whatever the team says, it's fine. Sister Wu also has to do things, and she has to give enough face so that she can have confidence."

"If you give out gold bars, Zhang Nan, help me make a bracelet, and Zhang Haolei finds a girlfriend, I think it's good. It also saves me from going to the pedestrian street to buy."

"Where are you from?"

"Oh, that hometown is quite far away, in Qianzhong Province. It takes more than 40 hours to get to Suzhou by train, and it takes several trains. It's much more convenient to take a plane."

The old man was nagging, but he was also quite happy. Everyone had no idea about Zhang Haonan's wealth, and there was no envy or jealousy.

In the past, they would nag their children and grandchildren behind closed doors to learn from Zhang Haonan, whether it was studying or making money, but now, what they say is bullshit, and it is completely meaningless.

Now, when they nag their children and grandchildren behind closed doors, most of the time they just emphasize again and again that they can’t start a family like Zhang Haonan.

Zhang Haonan’s behavior of filling the house with a nest of women is simply against the will of heaven...

In the past five years, there are many more people who have started a family. Zhang Haodong is married, and some of the younger generations have already obtained marriage certificates and held weddings.

The only thing that has not changed is that these old men are still so nagging.

"Uncle!"

"Huh? Liangliang is on vacation?"

"There is an experiment at the Xinghe campus, so I came back."

Zhang Ranliang has grown up now, but compared with Zhang Haonan, he is still a little chicken.

"Liangliang, are you a doctor or a master now?"

"Are you making atomic bombs or hydrogen bombs? I heard from your father that it's almost the same. Is it a secret?"

"When it's finished, I'll ask your Uncle Zhang Nan to buy one and blow it up with the Japanese slaves."

"..."

"..."

A very simple vision, but it has nothing to do with Zhang Ranliang’s current academic turmoil.

At this time, a shout came from behind: "Zhang Ranliang, the car is parked at the door. You won't be posting a ticket, right? Huh? Brother Haonan, haha, when did you come back? Brother Haonan. Zhenyu, Zhenyu, Brother Haonan is at home.”

"Coming."

Xuan Zhenyu is also there. He previously stayed at Liangzhe University for half a year, and now he has returned to do research.

He was originally going to return to China, but in the third quarter, negotiations between North Korea and America broke down, so even if he wanted to go back now, the procedures would be very troublesome, so he was allowed to continue visiting and studying for another year.

Depending on how the international environment is next year, if negotiations are restarted, I can return to China.

Even though Xuan Zhenyu's talent is not as high as Zhang Ranliang's, his level of hard work is extremely exaggerated. Of course, this is also related to his physiological condition.

After all, Zhang Ranliang is still a child and cannot withstand high intensity.

If you study theoretical physics or mathematics, you can achieve great results at the age of eighteen or nineteen. If you study engineering, theoretical models alone are not enough. Experiments require years of hard work.

Seeing Xuan Zhenyu, Zhang Haonan smiled and raised his hand to wave. The young man came over obediently and sat down. Shi Xiaodong had already clocked in and bought food, two baskets of "Xiaolong Steamed Buns" and a basket of meat and shaomai. There was no rice or noodles, so he just ate this.

"Hey, brother Haonan, invest a little money in me. I have something that will definitely make money in the future."

"You were fucking bragging that the flight control model was easy to handle, but what happened? You died."

"Brother Haonan, please, I will definitely get it done this time, and I will definitely make a lot of money!"

"Just die."

"..."

Shi Xiaodong had a previous mathematics project related to control systems. This kid was originally doing research in Luzhou, but was deceived by Suzhou University and sent back. Now that the funds are exhausted, he can only recruit reinforcements.

That's not to say that there are no results at all. At least a batch of test machines in Andong County have an automatic return program, which is the result of Shi Xiaodong.

But he was also quite unlucky, being signed by a bunch of old fritters.

After all, he is still young and does not know the depths of the world.

That is to say, everyone in the provincial scientific research circle knows that Zhang Haonan is behind Shi Xiaodong, otherwise it will be very ugly.

So far, Shi Xiaodong has not been walked like a dog, because he is still afraid of really arousing Zhang Haonan's wrath.

There was an incident in Suzhou this year. Some media received an order, and Chunqiu brushstrokes criticized the new century series of new cars from "Zijin Technology".

Then this newspaper in downtown Suzhou was smashed by employees of "Shabei·Taihu Water".

The chief writer and editor were stripped naked and tied up in a roadside green belt.

A quarrel?

At what level does Boss Zhang get into a quarrel?

This matter was not only known to six provinces and one city in East China, but also spread throughout the national media circles. The editor was from the journalism department of Aurora University, and now he can only feel the pain and cannot speak out.

Yu Xiaolong did not dare to offend the media people to death, but Zhang Haonan was different. He would beat the criminals every time they went to court and send them to the West without talking nonsense.

Therefore, in the Aurora University section of "Panda Continent", the journalism majors have been complaining that "Brother Haonan" is really awesome...

In every sense.

The small incident in Suzhou was a shot in the arm for the scientific research industry, so although there were some attempts to rub off on Shi Xiaodong's academic achievements, no one dared to take a bold step forward.

They all expected their colleagues to explore the road to see if it was a dead end.

Now that Shi Xiaodong has run out of funds, he has no choice but to shamelessly come here to ask for help.

"When will you evaluate the associate professor?"

"It's nothing to do with the shadow."

Shi Xiaodong shrank his neck, thinking that he would be ranked this year, but he still didn't show up.

"Do you think you are useless?"

"yes……"

"What the hell?"

If even a genius can admit that he is a waste, society is really a big dye vat.

Woof!

At this time, "Huhu" barked, and it turned out that Zhang Ranliang threw a small piece of steak to it.

"Eat."

After Zhang Haonan said this, the dog quickly waggled his tail to show off.

"Uncle, the University of Science and Technology has a research result related to the side reactions of battery preparation. It is a testing equipment. I think we can buy out this technology."

Zhang Ranliang also ate noodles, but they were Su-style noodles. Not far away, Master Bai An from Sanjin felt very uncomfortable.

Is that noodles?

Is that noodles?

Is that noodles? !

But it's useless. Zhang Ranliang just likes to eat vegetarian chicken, big ribs, small green vegetables and mushrooms in the noodles...

"When will you go to Luzhou again?"

"I'll go after the experiment. Lao Bai said it might be the Chinese New Year."

Lao Bai is one of Zhang Ranliang’s graduate tutors. The topic given to Zhang Ranliang is related to the control system, but because it is a project of the Tianyi Institute, it is classified to a certain extent. Zhang Haonan can inquire if he wants, but he has no idea about these topics. Never got to know, so don't know the whole story.

He was simply responsible for giving money, leaving Zhang Ranliang to do whatever he wanted.

The three little guys are very busy now, and they have produced results at such a young age. This is a treatment that other geniuses rarely enjoy.

After all, there is no upper limit on funding.

It's not a theoretical limit, it's a reality...

"Zhenyu, since you can't go back to the country this year, you should stay in the country and celebrate the New Year together."

"Brother, can I ask you some...other things?"

"Ask whatever you want."

Zhang Haonan said, then turned around and said, "Translator Jin, you can have some too. We've known each other for such a long time, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Zhang."

As Xuan Zhenyu's escort, Jin Translator is already in the third batch. The first two batches of escorts have been promoted since they returned.

The reason is also very simple. Being next to Xuan Zhenyu is far more convenient than anyone abroad.

There is no other truly superior one.

Jang Ho-nam's wealth is much greater than that of the entire North Korea, and he is also one of the "political dignitaries" who are the focus of attention in Pyongyang.

The previous investment in the "Rajin-Pioneer Special Zone" actually added a new standard rail extension line plan, but the project was quickly stopped. The reason is also very simple. With the new round of sanctions, public channels cannot directly go to North Korea. Ship bulk supplies.

For example, rail steel is also a bulk material.

For example, ballast is still a bulk material.

There are only about 20 countries that can produce qualified rails, and even fewer countries that can produce qualified ballast. Most countries do not have the ability to process qualified ballast.

If it is heavy-haul railway transportation, then less than ten countries have this capability.

The embargo halted the project and also caused the suspension of some of Zhang Haonan's investments in North Korea, including hotel supplies.

The person currently lobbying is actually an old man with blond hair. Zhang Haonan himself doesn't care about this. He will only make a move unless the central government says it wants to promote it. He usually doesn't pay attention to this kind of investment of hundreds of thousands or millions.

In the time it took to take one more look, his wealth would have increased in value by more than this amount.

However, because of this contact, the state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises in North Korea still knew of Zhang Haonan's existence, but they did not know that his name was Zhang Haonan, and they were all referred to as "Commissioner Zhang".

Where did this committee member come from?

It is the Chinese Investment Committee of the Special Trade Zone set up in the "Friendship Model Investment Project". Zhang Haonan serves as the last member and is mainly responsible for the investment direction.

I still have a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan.

Therefore, everyone in North Korea who is well-informed knows that Xuan Zhenyu has a "big brother" in China who is very, very rich.

And very, very powerful.

This makes Xuan Zhenyu himself a "hot potato". If he does not return to China, it is actually more important to many people in Pyongyang.

Not only political dignitaries, but also many state-owned enterprises in North Korea are also competing for the qualifications to be replaced by Hyun Zhenyu's accompanying translator.

Even though it was impossible to tell whether Xuan Zhenyu was from North Korea or Chinese with his mouth, he still sent an accompanying translator and some staff to take care of daily life.

Even if Xuan Zhenyu doesn't usually spend much money, this kid is indeed frugal, but when the funds are sufficient, sometimes even buying some consumables will bring a lot of benefits. He usually sends some scientific research instruments to the country, but Xuan Zhenyu doesn't make any profit. The idea of ​​​​oil and water does not mean that others do not have it.

What's more, even if you "purchase" some gadgets, food, clothing, housing and transportation, you will be pushed to make progress after returning to China.

Material needs will produce amazing driving force in the real situation of extreme scarcity.

But this time, Xuan Zhenyu obviously learned something about the situation, so he rarely consulted with Zhang Haonan.

"Brother, just...brother, is there any way to get fertilizer and grain?"

"able."

Zhang Haonan took a bite of the smooth noodles, and after eating them, he said to Xuan Zhenyu, who was holding chopsticks with anxious eyes, "But, this is not an economic matter."

"Is it because of the embargo?"

"No, America's embargo will not affect me. I have the largest offshore shipping fleet. What can it embargo me? As long as I want, whether it is grain, fertilizer or any other product on the market, I can ship as much merchandise as I want.”

"..."

Xuan Zhenyu was shocked.

"Then...what is that?"

he asked with some confusion.

"I won't answer this question for now. Let me ask you a question first. Where do you want to transport the grain and fertilizer? Tieshan County or the 'Rajin-Pioneer Special Zone'?"

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is, how much price are these two places willing to pay? In other words, what kind of resources are they willing to devote to pay for all this?"

"Brother, I understand."

Geniuses who are engaged in scientific research can understand "the ways of the world" if their brains are restored to those of ordinary people.

"Just understand."

Zhang Haonan patted him on the shoulder, "Even if you are anxious, it is useless. This is not your business alone. As for me, as I said before, if I make money, I will be motivated. Of course, if it is too much trouble, I will I’m too lazy to do it, after all, it has nothing to do with me.”

"Yes, thank you, brother."

"Just concentrate on doing your job well, and don't worry too much about things other than scientific research."

Xuan Zhenyu didn't actually understand that Zhang Haonan's strength was equivalent to that of a country, but he understood that Zhang Haonan could indeed guarantee him to concentrate on scientific research, and because of this guarantee, even if he had no interest in politics, it still made him famous in North Korea. a certain amount of political energy.

Therefore, if someone really wants fertilizer or food, they should come to Zhang Haonan themselves instead of influencing Xuan Zhenyu through subtle means.

At the same time, Xuan Zhenyu also knew that what Zhang Haonan said to Xuan Zhenyu was not for him.

Want food, want fertilizer?

Okay, if you bring up your chips, as long as Zhang Haonan agrees, everything will be possible.

There are only a few countries that can understand the strength of the "Shashi Group" both at home and abroad, and North Korea, South Korea, and Japan are not among them.

Just as the global grain production can fully feed 20 billion people, but Africa is still famine, and people are still starving to death.

Why?

Because international grain traders treat the United Nations Program as a public toilet.

Just give you a little relief at ordinary times, don't take yourself too seriously.

Now, the "SF Group" is also a member of the international grain traders, and because it is backed by China, it is naturally an international giant and can "sit and discuss" with ABCD.

Even if Pyongyang knows that the "SF Group" is strong, it can't get the grain production and food processing data of the "SF Group" in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China. It is just a blind man touching an elephant.

But even if it only touches one elephant leg, it is enough.

For Boss Zhang, this little episode was just a little ripple in the boring time, but for the staff of the North Korean consulate in Songjiang, it was a bit dramatic. So they prepared a report and sent it to Pyongyang, and then waited for the next instructions.
