Feng County. Fertilizer factory!
Zhou Yang was translating the maintenance manual in the room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside.
He put down the pen in his hand and immediately went over to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Zhou Yang was delighted to find that it was his father Zhou Yawen standing at the door.
There was also an acquaintance beside his father, Section Chief Feng, who had been busy with them during this period.
"Professor Zhou, Comrade Zhou Yang, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you two. You can chat!"
After saying that, Section Chief Feng turned and left.
Zhou Yang immediately opened the door, invited his father in, and closed the door.
After entering the door, Zhou Yawen looked at his son's room and immediately said with some surprise: "Is this room so well decorated?"
"Haha, this was originally prepared for foreign guests, I just took advantage of them!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yang poured a glass of water for his father and put some yellow buckwheat in it.
This is a local specialty, not only has a unique taste, but it’s also very spicy!
After Zhou Yawen sat down across from Zhou Yang's desk, he asked while drinking water: "Those people on the road didn't tell me what was going on. Your mother and I being transferred to the fertilizer factory must have something to do with you, right?"
"Well, it was the suggestion made by Director Huang and I!" Zhou Yang said.
"You are pretending to be a public person for personal gain. It would not be good if people knew about it. It would also leave a bad impression on the leaders!"
Compared to improving his own living conditions, Zhou Yawen cares more about his son's personal future. He doesn't want his son to be criticized for helping the couple.
This is what parents love for their children.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Dad, I don't deny that I do have my own selfish motives in this matter, but I transferred you here not just because you are my dad, but more importantly because you are the top chemistry expert in the country." Zhou Yawen!”
"Did the fertilizer plant encounter any problems?"
Zhou Yawen is also a smart man. When he heard his son's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
"Well, we did encounter some emergencies!"
At that moment, Zhou Yang explained in detail what had happened in the past few days.
Zhou Yawen was immediately angry when he learned that these people from Beautiful Country were using such despicable and dirty methods to extort people from the country in addition to legitimate transactions.
He slapped the table in front of him, and then said loudly: "It has been more than a hundred years, and these foreign devils are still the same as they were during the Opium War, trying to use these despicable methods to bully us!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Dad, don't be angry. We have different values. It's useless for you to be angry. There is no need to punish yourself for other people's mistakes!"
"Hmph! I'm just confused. They are all the same people. Can't we all work together for a win-win situation and coexist peacefully?" Zhou Yawen said in a deep voice.
"Of course not. These Western countries, including the beautiful country, essentially do not want us to rise!" Zhou Yang said lightly.
"Why, what are we doing to them?"
As a pure expert and scholar, Zhou Yawen's thinking is mostly at the level of a scientific researcher.
Such profound issues as international relations were difficult for him to understand and he did not bother to study them.
Zhou Yang cleared his throat and said: "Dad, I want to ask you a question, is the welfare benefits better in our country or in foreign countries?"
"This...should be a foreign country. I've been to England, and the lives of their people are really unimaginable!"
While talking, Zhou Yawen remembered what he saw and heard on a business trip to England a few years ago, with a look of envy on his face.
Zhou Yang said again: "Then do you think those people in Western countries like us?"
"Maybe they don't like it very much. They reject us, but they are not opposed to doing business with us!" Zhou Yawen said.
"Then do you know why they don't like us?"
"This...I think it's because their beliefs are different from ours, or maybe..."
Before his father could finish speaking, Zhou Yang raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "Dad, what you said may have some truth, but it doesn't grasp the essence!"
"Nature?"
"Yes, a philosopher once said, "All human behavior is determined by economic behavior." It's the same reason those foreign devils you mentioned don't like us."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Western developed countries rely on their first-mover advantage and have mastered a large amount of advanced science and technology. Even small countries in Europe can make a lot of money relying on one or two advanced technologies. Therefore, people in Western developed countries do not have to work overtime. There are various enviable benefits such as paid leave.”
"The essence of this is a monopoly on technology. In many cases, they can collect huge patent fees without even doing anything. They just use high technology to harvest the wealth of the world."
As he spoke, what flashed in Zhou Yang's mind was a program-controlled switch. Before we developed this kind of thing, foreign program-controlled switches sold for 30,000 yuan each, which was outrageously expensive.
And it also needs an additional heat sink, which is actually an ordinary piece of iron, and costs 3,000 yuan.
If you don't agree, we won't sell you the machine.
In addition, there are shield machines that dig tunnels, etc., none of which have been cut off by foreigners as leeks.
In those years, Chinese people were famous in the international market for being stupid and rich, and they were deceived time and time again.
It’s really three hundred and sixty, and nothing is the same.
Zhou Yawen frowned and said: "What does their harvesting have to do with us? Why don't they like us?"
"Not only do we love learning and studying, we are also very hardworking and can endure hardships!" Zhou Yang said.
"What's the point?"
"Dad, the world is in the shape of a pyramid. European and American countries use their technological advantages to stand at the top of the pyramid and enjoy various benefits. Now we want to climb up and live the same life as them!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "But the problem is that the world's resources are limited. If we go up, some countries in the West will be squeezed down, and they will never be willing to do so."
"Why can't we pursue a better life?"
"Haha, so the more they don't want us to make breakthroughs in related fields, the more we must catch up and eventually surpass them!"
Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "Dad, this time we took advantage of the greed of these beautiful country technicians and obtained new technologies for fertilizer production from them. This is definitely an excellent opportunity to overtake in a corner."
"And we are a large agricultural country, and our reliance on chemical fertilizers far exceeds that of any other country. If these technologies are proven to be feasible, it will be a milestone of great significance for our country's chemical fertilizer industry and agricultural production."
Hearing his son's words, Zhou Yawen was very shocked. His son's situation was beyond his imagination.
Before coming, he had been worried that Zhou Yang transferred him to the fertilizer factory out of selfish motives.
Although he was very pleased with his son's filial piety, he was also worried.
I am worried that my son will leave a bad impression on the leadership because of this incident, and I am also worried that my son will make mistakes by not distinguishing between public and private matters.
But after truly understanding his son's heart, he felt that his son had the world in mind and his country's aspirations.
Compared to his son, his own thoughts are too narrow.
At that moment, he nodded heavily and said: "I understand, leave it to me to verify those technologies. If they are true or false, those foreign devils will definitely not be able to deceive us!"
"Well, Dad, I called Director Yang of the Chemistry Department of Saibei University yesterday and asked him for a few students to be your assistants!" Zhou Yang said.
"How's the level?"
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "It is said that it is not very good. You can treat them as beginners and teach them more!"
"Well, it's better than nothing!" Zhou Yawen said.
"Yes, I think so too!"
Later, Zhou Yang said again: "In addition, I have also discussed with Director Guo of the fertilizer plant that a separate laboratory will be built for you in the fertilizer plant. If nothing happens, you will work here in the next few years! "
"Okay, doing scientific research is also something I like to do. It's pretty good!"
"Um!"
