Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

The cafeteria of the cable power plant serves lunch at noon.

but.

Due to lack of supplies, lunch every day can only be described as clear soup with little water.

Therefore, many researchers choose to go home for lunch at noon.

The same is true for Professor Zhang Tianming.

His home is in a small alley not far from the research institute, and it only takes ten minutes to walk.

Moreover, Zhang Tianming's daughter-in-law has been bedridden all year round, and he has to go back to feed her at noon every day.

As soon as the closing bell of the institute rang, Zhang Tianming picked up his canvas bag, opened the office door, and walked out.

Thinking of what happened this morning, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Tianming's daughter-in-law has been bedridden all year round due to poor health and is in urgent need of nutritional supplements.

but.

Materials were very scarce in this era, and even if you went to the pigeon market, you couldn't buy pork.

Besides, with Zhang Tianming's meager salary, he didn't even have the money to buy meat at the pigeon market.

He originally thought that the research institute had accepted a gift from the Orchid Automobile Factory today, and that as a researcher he could get some meat to replenish his wife's health.

But because of Professor Zheng's stubbornness, this matter was considered completely obscene.

In Zhang Tianming's view, Professor Zheng used the name of director to deprive the researchers of the institute of their interests.

But there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Tianming's home is also in a large courtyard.

As soon as he reached the door of the courtyard, Aunt Wang next door greeted him: "Zhang Tianming, you are back."

On weekdays when Zhang Tianming is not at home, Aunt Wang often takes care of Zhang Tianming's wife, so Zhang Tianming has a good impression of Aunt Wang and greets Aunt Wang with a smile: "What does Aunt Wang have for lunch?"

Aunt Wang waved her hands and said with a smile: "What kind of food can I eat? It's not corn noodle porridge. Where can I buy food now?"

"But your family had something delicious for lunch today."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianming was a little confused.

"I haven't even gone home to our family, so who will cook the food?"

"You'll know after you go back." Aunt Wang said with a smile.

Zhang Tianming walked into the courtyard with doubts. As soon as he entered the backyard through the central courtyard, he smelled a fragrant aroma.

When I looked up, I saw that the door of my house was open, and the aroma was coming from inside.

Zhang Tianming was filled with doubts and walked over quickly.

inside the house.

Wang Weidong was sitting on a chair, chatting with Zhang Tianming's wife who was lying on the hospital bed.

Chef Nan Yi was standing in front of the stove cooking.

Nanyi's level is very high. Just a small stir-fried pork is so fragrant that people can't help but swallow their saliva after smelling it.

Zhang Tianming entered the house and saw two people.

He knew Wang Weidong.

"Director Liu, why are you here? What's going on?"

Zhang Tianming's daughter-in-law suddenly became unhappy when she saw Zhang Tianming entering the house and instead of saying hello, he questioned others.

She said to Zhang Tianming: "Zhang Tianming, what's the matter with you? There are distinguished guests in the house today, why don't you say hello."

"Dignified guest?"

Zhang Tianming looked a little confused. He knew that Wang Weidong's status was indeed noble, but it was hard to tell about the guests.

Because Wang Weidong and he were incompatible with each other, there was no need to be a guest at all.

Zhang Tianming's eyes fell on the table.

There was a piece of meat on the table, which weighed two to three kilograms.

There is a paper bag next to it, and there are fruits in the paper bag.

It is the twelfth month of winter and there are very few fruits. Only the leaders in the capital can afford to eat fruits.

Zhang Tianming also wanted to buy fruit for his daughter-in-law to eat in order to see a doctor, but he went to all supply and marketing cooperatives and failed to buy any fruit.

The fruit weighs four to five kilograms.

Next to the paper bag was a canvas bag with fine white flour inside.

The weight of fine white noodles is also about seven or eight pounds.

The value of these gifts can be compared to the gifts given to a woman when she marries her daughter-in-law.

Zhang Tianming is not that kind of greedy person. He was not overjoyed after seeing the gift, but was filled with confusion.

Moreover, he had also received confidentiality education. Although he knew that Wang Weidong, as the director of the factory, could not be a bad person, he had to be on guard.

The research currently being carried out in the institute is at a world-leading level and has been targeted by foreign countries.

The institute has held several meetings to remind these researchers to pay attention to confidentiality.

Zhang Tianming took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and looked at Wang Weidong coldly.

"Director Liu, what's going on?"

Zhang Tianming's performance not only did not make Wang Weidong angry, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

A person who is obsessed with money cannot calm down and do scientific research.

Wang Weidong said bluntly: "Comrade Zhang Tianming, I have taken a fancy to you and want you to work in our laboratory."

"Your laboratory?"

Zhang Tianming subconsciously wondered, then suddenly thought about it.

The reason why Orchid Automobile Factory is famous all over the world, in addition to producing cars, the most important thing is that they have a large-scale scientific research center called Orchid Laboratory.

The Orchid Laboratory recruits a large number of scientific researchers, who come from major universities across the country and are relatively well-known professors and scholars.

One of Zhang Tianming’s classmates works in Orchid Laboratory.

According to the classmate, the treatment at Orchid Laboratory is very good. In addition to the full salary of food stamps every month, there are additional subsidies. Once the project is successful, the factory director will also distribute bonus funds.

When Zhang Tianming just graduated, he also thought about working in the Orchid Laboratory. However, the main scientific research projects of the Orchid Laboratory at that time were still related to automobiles, while he studied computers and was determined to build the first computer for the country.

, so I chose a wired power plant.

Upon hearing Wang Weidong's request, Zhang Tianming's expression immediately softened.

However, Zhang Tianming did not agree to Wang Weidong's request.

He sat down, poured a bowl of tea, and drank it.

Looking at Wang Weidong, he said: "Director Liu, I am deeply honored to be able to reach your esteem, but computer research cannot be completed by one or two people, and you also know that computer research requires a lot of money. Without ministries and commissions,

Without the support, it would simply not be possible.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Weidong laughed: "Comrade Zhang Tianming, it seems that you do not understand the strength of our Lanhua Automobile Factory. Just last month, in just one month, I

Orchid Automobile Factory sold 5,000 new energy vehicles. In addition to sharing with the ministries and commissions, our Orchid Automobile Factory earned a full US$500 million."

US$500 million can be said to be an astronomical figure in this era.

Zhang Tianming knew that Lanhua Automobile Factory was very powerful. It handed over a large amount of foreign exchange to the ministries and commissions every year, and it was a key unit of concern for the ministries and commissions.

But I never thought that Orchid Automobile Factory could earn 500 million US dollars in one month.

You must know that in this era, it is difficult to earn foreign exchange.

Domestic exports of large amounts of grain can only be exchanged for some meager foreign exchange.

However, Zhang Tianming still had other concerns.

He looked at Wang Weidong and said: "Director Liu, to study computers, you need a lot of scientific research equipment. These equipment are specially customized and are not sold on the market. It is impossible for your laboratory to obtain them."

Seeing that he was a little excited, Wang Weidong sat up straight and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have a dedicated team in Hong Kong City that can directly purchase equipment from overseas. Even if it is some prohibited equipment, we can get it."

When Zhang Tianming heard this, he was a little surprised at first.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel relieved.

Orchid Automobile Factory has now grown to become the largest automobile manufacturer in the world.

Moreover, the cars produced by Orchid Automobile Factory are often hard to find.

Many foreign customers have to queue up and wait for two years for a car.

The energy it possesses is unimaginable by ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianming gradually became a little tempted.

As an alternative in the research institute, he lived a very miserable life in the research institute.

With the authority of Professor Zheng, it would never be possible to start research on minicomputers in the institute.

In Professor Zheng's view, the research mission of the institute is to complete the tasks of the ministries and commissions, to obtain medals, to obtain awards, and to gain fame.

But in Zhang Tianming's view, the purpose of studying computers is to make people's lives better, to make people's production more convenient, to improve people's labor efficiency, and to enhance national strength.

These two philosophies are irreconcilable.

Instead of wasting your youth in a research institute, it is better to enter a laboratory and contribute to the country.

But Zhang Tianming still had another concern.

He looked up at Wang Weidong and said: "Director Liu, my current personnel relationship is still in the research institute. According to Professor Zheng's temperament, it is impossible for him to let me leave."

"Hahaha!" Wang Weidong laughed three times and said: "Don't worry, your research institute is far less important than our laboratory in the eyes of the ministry. As long as I report to the ministry, the ministry will definitely approve it. Then Zheng

The professor can't stop me even if he wants to."

Having said this, Zhang Tianming finally put aside all his worries and nodded to join the laboratory.

Zhang Tianming's daughter-in-law also felt very happy while lying on the hospital bed.

The leader of the laboratory only came once and brought so many gifts. The Zhang family will live a better life in the future.

She struggled to sit up, looked at Zhang Tianming and said, "Zhang Tianming, why don't you quickly thank the leader of my laboratory. Being able to come in person is called corporal courtesy. Why don't you understand any politeness?"

Zhang Tianming's wife was a classmate of Zhang Tianming's, but his wife fell ill shortly after marrying him and could only lie in bed.

If it had been anyone else, he might have abandoned his wife by this time.

But Zhang Tianming is a caring and righteous person, and he has a deep relationship with his wife.

Since his daughter-in-law fell ill, he has tried his best to take care of her and usually listens to her.

Now that he listened to his wife, he quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude to Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong waved his hand, asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang Tianming, you're welcome. In fact, there is one more thing I want your help with."

At this time, Zhang Tianming had already regarded himself as a researcher in the laboratory. When the leader spoke, he quickly agreed.

"If the factory director has anything to say, just say it directly. As long as I, Zhang Tianming, can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Wang Weidong said with a smile: "You also know that researching computers is not something that can be completed by one or two people. Our laboratory has just started a project and needs many outstanding talents."

"So I want to recruit more talents from your research institute. If there are suitable candidates, you can recommend them to me."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianming looked a little hesitant.

It is his own business to join the laboratory.

If you want to recruit others to join the laboratory, will you feel sorry for the institute?

Wang Weidong noticed his concerns and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang Tianming, do you think your institute will have a future if it develops like this?"

Zhang Tianming remained silent.

Wang Weidong continued: "Those of your friends in the research institute are actually wasting their youth and wasting the country's precious research funds. They might as well come to our laboratory."

These words are reasonable and reasonable.

Zhang Tianming hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Director, don't worry, I will try my best to convince them, but if they don't agree, there is nothing I can do."

Wang Ruidong is not worried about Zhang Tianming being able to recruit researchers from the institute.

Because both in terms of future development and benefits, the laboratory is much higher than the research institute.

As long as researchers have their brains, they will make the right choice.

The development of things was exactly as Wang Weidong expected.

The next day after returning to the laboratory, Wang Weidong received a call from Zhang Tianming.

A total of five researchers agreed to join the laboratory, and they are all the backbone of the institute.

And has a deep understanding of minicomputers.

"Comrade Zhang Tianming, you have done a great job. I will immediately report to the ministry and ask the comrades in the ministry to transfer the personnel relations of those five comrades to our laboratory."

After hanging up the phone from Zhang Tianming, Wang Weidong called his comrades in the ministry.

Comrades in the ministry have long known that the laboratory wants to study computer projects.

Although they do not agree with laboratory research on minicomputers.

However, this research was entirely funded by the laboratory alone and did not require support from the ministry.

And every time Wang Weidong proposed a research project, it played a key role.

Therefore, the comrades in the ministry did not hesitate too much and directly transferred the personnel relations of several comrades to the laboratory.

Office of the Director of the Institute.

When Professor Zheng received a call from his comrades in the ministry, his face suddenly turned pale.

He never expected that just after he rejected Wang Weidong's kindness, Wang Weidong would quietly dig him out from behind.

If possible, he would like to keep these comrades in the research institute forever.

But the comrades from the ministry made it very clear on the phone that the personnel relations of these comrades have been transferred to the laboratory.

In this case, he, the director of the research institute, had to cooperate even if he did not cooperate.

Professor Zheng could only grit his teeth and help several researchers go through the procedures.

When other researchers learned about this situation, they also had thoughts in their minds.

With Professor Zheng here suppressing the institute, nothing can be done well.

It’s better to leave the institute as soon as possible and go to the Orchid Laboratory!

In less than a month, Orchid Laboratory has almost recruited all the talents.
