At the northwest R&D base, Wu Hao did not take a special plane this time, but took a civil aviation flight to come here.
As for his special plane, it was assigned to Tong Juan.
When this person is running outside, the most important thing is his appearance. What's more, Tong Juan is still a woman, so it's not easy to travel around the world so hard. Therefore, Wu Hao transferred the special plane directly to Tong Juan and the team she led.
As for himself, anyway, in China, he will make do with civil aviation. But there is no need to squeeze in. Although it is a small regional airliner, there is still a business class cabin and the conditions are not bad.
When the plane landed and they just stepped out of the cabin door, the sudden sandstorm gave them a disastrous blow.
Entering mid-March, it is already spring in the mainland, and everything is beginning to recover. However, it was still cold outside the northwestern desert, and the sand and dust blown by the northwest wind shrouded this vast wall.
Although the mainland now rarely encounters severe sand and dust weather due to the three-north protective forest.
But outside the Great Wall (note!), deep next door to the desert, this is the hometown of Sanddust, its home ground. Wu Hao and the others are just outside guests.
"Mr. Wu, it's very windy and sandy here. Let's go inside the house to take shelter." Seeing Wu Hao come down, Chu Tianyou, who wrapped himself tightly, shouted at him.
"Okay!" Wu Hao nodded, and then the group got into the Costa Li they had been waiting for. This kind of small minibus is flexible and versatile, so Wu Hao has equipped several here for daily use.
Entering the vehicle, Wu Hao wiped the dust on his face with the heated towel handed by his secretary Shen Ning, and said to Chu Tianyou who was also cleaning up: "Why is there such a big wind and sand?"
"Haha, this is good. The wind and sand were so strong a few days ago that it blocked the sky and the sun. Not to mention airplanes, even cars didn't dare to drive because they couldn't see the road clearly and the visibility was too low." Chu Tianyou complained.
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "What about the rocket launch, will it be affected?"
At this, Chu Tianyou nodded and shook his head: "It will definitely be affected if it continues blowing like this, but the weather forecast shows that the wind and sand will stop at midnight today, and the launch in the early morning of tomorrow will not be affected."
"That's good." Wu Hao nodded and smiled. Once the launch is postponed, it is likely that subsequent launch missions will be affected, which is what he is more worried about.
"Mr. Wu, let's take you to the hotel to rest for a while." A middle-aged man in his forties said to him.
This somewhat stout, honest-looking middle-aged man with eyes is called Qi Guangkun. He is forty-eight years old and is the vice president of a company who was eliminated from the competition. At his age, especially if he comes from an administrative background, it will be more difficult to find a job. Basically, that's all you can do, hang around for a while, and retire after enough years.
Qi Guangkun was naturally a little reluctant. He looked for many jobs, but was rejected because he was too old.
Even when he was recruited, the human resources department thought he was too old and hesitated. In the end, it was Lin Jianliang, director of the human resources department, who personally recommended Wu Hao and made the decision to keep him.
But this is not for nothing. There are conditions, that is, he must come to work at the Northwest R&D Center.
For Wu Hao and others, it is also a very troublesome problem to send someone to take charge of the affairs of the Northwest R&D Center. As for young people, many are unwilling to come, but some of those who are willing to come are young, not only inexperienced, but also too impatient.
As for those who are a little older, they are all raising their families. Moreover, the people in the middle management level are all people who have achieved some success in their previous careers. How can they accept this kind of job and be directly sent to the depths of this deserted and useless arm?
So Wu Hao and the others were just giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Qi Guangkun actually agreed. It was probably because they had encountered too many obstacles elsewhere.
So, nearly fifty years old, after many twists and turns, he came to the depths of the desert. The base was still under construction and the infrastructure was not yet complete, let alone any direct flights.
When Qi Guangkun saw this desolate scene when he first arrived, he almost called the police, thinking he had been deceived and trafficked. After finding out the facts later, he regretted it. But the contract has been signed. If you regret it now, you can leave, but it also means that this job with a good salary is gone.
So he planned to do it for a while. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he would stop. Unexpectedly, this work took more than two years.
Things have changed a lot here, and Qi Guangkun has no intention of leaving. He even sometimes takes his wife over to live with him for a period of time. After work, he likes to tinker with the vegetables, fruits and flowers in the glass cube, which is quite relaxing.
In fact, his main job as the person in charge of the base is to maintain the normal operation of the base and provide relevant logistics support for the various laboratories and R&D teams here. He is also a veritable butler.
For someone like him who has been engaged in administration for most of his life, this job is relatively easy. And he doesn't have to worry about many things here. They are the responsibility of their respective laboratories and R&D teams. He only needs to do the relevant logistical support tasks.
"No, I'd better go to the Space Launch Command and Control Center first and have a meeting to learn about the preparations before launch." Wu Hao waved his hand.
Knowing Wu Hao's work style, Qi Guangkun didn't try to persuade him, but smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll get off in front. If you have anything, just let me know."
"Haha, okay, just go about your business. If anything happens, I'll let you know directly." Wu Hao smiled and nodded.
Qi Guangkun nodded, then stood up and said something to the driver, and then got off the car in front.
Yu Chengwu smiled at him and said: "This Lao Qi is a very nice person. The young people in the base like him quite a lot."
"Haha, he's just a good guy. You just ask him to do this kind of logistics support service. If you really ask him to do other things, he can't do it." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Yu Chengwu nodded: "I don't know how he always managed to act like this before."
"Haha, this is not just good luck." Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "On the contrary, he can climb to that position, he is still very capable. Otherwise, we would not ask him to manage such a huge company. base."
[Note 1: Under normal circumstances, we refer to the area outside the Great Wall as the Great Wall. The Three-North Protective Forest Belt was basically built along the lines of the Ming Great Wall, so it is also called the Green Great Wall. 】
