Zhou family. Old house!
When Zhou Yang returned home, he immediately saw Lu Zhengjun's car parked in front of his house.
At that moment, he strode towards the yard.
In the living room of the main house, Lu Zhengjun was chatting with Zhou Yawen.
Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, they both stood up.
When he saw that Zhou Yang was back, Lu Zhengjun immediately said something to Zhou Yawen and then walked outside.
As soon as they met, Zhou Yang smiled and asked: "When did you come? Did you wait for a long time?"
"Fortunately, it's only less than twenty minutes!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I just went to the suburbs and wasted some time!"
"It's okay, I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway!"
The two talked as they walked back to the house.
Seeing that his father Zhou Yawen was also there, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Dad, are you back?"
"came back!"
Then Zhou Yawen said again: "By the way, your mother, your sister-in-law, and Xiaowei went to the medical school. They said they would be back after five o'clock!"
"knew!"
"Xiao Yang, I have something to go to your Uncle Zhu's house. Please entertain Comrade Xiao Lu!"
After saying that, Zhou Yawen picked up his briefcase and walked outside.
Zhou Yang knew that his father deliberately left room for him and Lu Zhengjun to talk, so he did not stop him.
Just as his father left, he heard Lu Zhengjun say: "How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"
"We won't be able to stay long, we have to go back in just three or two days!"
Zhou Yang would like to stay for a while, but Lao Gu is still in Qin Province and will not be back until mid-September at the earliest. He has also left now, and the daily affairs of the institute can only be handled by Mr. Guo, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Qiao Weiguo took charge.
The two old comrades both had scientific research tasks, but Qiao Weiguo couldn't make the decision on many things, so he had to go back as soon as possible.
"I know you won't be able to stay long, so let's talk about business first!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"So besides work, you have other things?"
"Well, let's get down to business first. After careful analysis above, we officially agree with your opinion of additional investment in the Luotuo family, and have already issued this order to Lao Yan!" Lu Zhengjun said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately sat up straight and asked, "How much is the additional capital?"
"Two hundred million dollars!"
"Less!" Zhou Yang said in a deep voice.
"This is already the largest amount approved by the above!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "My old man also said that this year the country has spent too much money. The imported equipment alone has exceeded billions of dollars. Now many departments are waiting for help, waiting for Lao Yan to come over. We have precious foreign exchange to save lives, and the limit is already 200 million!"
Zhou Yang knew that what Lu Zhengjun said was true. In the past two years, the higher-ups had also realized how much damage had been caused to the country in the past ten years. In order to recover the losses caused, in November last year, the "10-Year Plan Outline" formulated in 1975 "Based on this, the State Planning Commission proposed the "7.8 billion plan."
The so-called "7.8 billion plan" means that by the year 2000, we will fight several major battles in three stages and build 120 major projects. By the end of this century, the output of our country's main industrial products will be close to, catch up with, and surpass the most developed capitalism. The country's various economic and technical indicators are close to, catching up with and exceeding the world's advanced level.
The main means to realize this large-scale construction plan is to expand the introduction of foreign funds and equipment, especially the latter.
Therefore, starting from this year, the country started a crazy "buy, buy, buy" shopping mode. First, it approved the reports of the State Planning Commission, Construction Commission and other departments, and decided to introduce complete sets of equipment from Tiaobaji to build a new iron factory in Baoshan with an annual output of 6.5 million tons. The large-scale steel plant with a capacity of 6.7 million tons of steel has a total investment of 21.4 billion yuan, including US$4.8 billion in foreign exchange and 7 billion yuan in domestic investment.
Then the State Planning Commission and the Construction Commission issued the "Plan for the Introduction of New Technologies and Complete Equipment in 1978", approving a total of US$8.56 billion for various departments, and the transaction volume that year was US$5.92 billion.
Since this plan actually reached an agreed amount of US$7.8 billion, it was referred to as the "7.8 Billion Plan".
And Zhou Yang also knows that this is just the beginning. The projects currently being negotiated and applied for far exceed this number. For example, the Ministry of Chemical Industry applied to the State Planning Commission and signed 9 projects for the introduction of complete sets of chemical equipment with foreign countries during the year, with a total investment of 160 More than 100 million yuan.
In addition, the complete set of imported projects signed this year include 100 integrated coal mining units, Dexing Copper Base, Guizhou Aluminum Factory, Shanghai Chemical Fiber Phase II Project, Yizheng Chemical Fiber Factory, Pingdingshan Cord Factory, Shandong Synthetic Leather Factory , Lancheng Synthetic Leather Factory, Dian Wuna Factory, Huolinhe Coal Mine, Kailuan Coal Mine, color TV project.
The above are a total of 22 key projects, requiring a foreign exchange of 13 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to about 39 billion yuan. Including domestic project investment of more than 20 billion yuan, a total of more than 60 billion yuan is needed.
It is precisely because of so many large-scale projects that the country's fiscal deficit is serious, and the R&D funds allocated to various scientific research projects have to be cut by more than half.
As for the Sickle Project, it is one of the few projects in China that can earn a large amount of foreign exchange. It can be imagined how highly the above attaches importance to these foreign exchanges.
It is not easy to allow them to use 200 million in this situation!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang could only nod his head and said: "Two hundred million is just two hundred million, it's better than nothing!"
Lu Zhengjun asked again: "In which field do you plan to invest these 200 million U.S. dollars?"
"Oil, preferably oil fields and crude oil!" Zhou Yang said.
The value of oil fields will increase exponentially in the next few years. If you buy it now, it is normal to earn ten or twenty times.
Crude oil is also one of Zhou Yang's key investment projects. Although the profit of crude oil is at most three to four times, the advantage of crude oil compared with oil fields is that crude oil is easy to sell and can be realized quickly.
If you want to buy or sell oil fields, the procedures are too complicated. Not only do you need to find a suitable buyer or seller, but you also need to obtain the consent of the camels.
But crude oil is different. When the second oil crisis breaks out, there is a shortage of oil everywhere in the world. As long as there is oil, people will come to the door waving money.
Lu Zhengjun immediately said: "If you have time, come up with an investment plan and I will send it to Lao Yan..."
"No, just tell Lao Yan, just like last year, if you stick to the oil industry, you will definitely make money!" Zhou Yang said.
"good!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "Also, the superiors have approved Lao Yan's marriage application, and Lao Yan has decided to hold the wedding on Hong Kong Island in October!"
"So fast?"
"Well, it's really fast!"
Then Lu Zhengjun changed his voice and said again: "By the way, do you want to go to Hong Kong Island to attend Lao Yan's wedding?"
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Can you go?"
"I can definitely go. There happens to be an inspection team going there next month, and I happen to be a member of the inspection team. But as for whether you can go there, you have to apply with the higher-ups!" Lu Zhengjun said.
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "The possibility of me passing is very small!"
"Not necessarily. How about I submit an application to you, just in case..."
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "There is no chance, but please contact me before you leave. I have something that I need you to give to Lao Yan!"
Zhou Yang knew very well that scientific research talents of his level, like those top national treasures, were absolutely not allowed to "exhibit abroad."
There is no other reason than that the country cannot afford to suffer such losses if there is an accident.
"OK!"
"By the way, there is one more thing. The country is planning to select a group of international students to study abroad. Do you think we should reserve a few places for our Sickle Project?" Lu Zhengjun said.
Hearing this, Zhou suddenly remembered that the country had indeed begun sending out publicly funded international students on a large scale today, and had also conducted a nationwide selection examination.
It seems that this exam was held in mid-September, and more than 3,300 people were selected in the first batch.
Thinking about the follow-up of the Sickle Project, Zhou Yang immediately said: "We need 100 places!"
"so much?"
"Yes, the focus is on thieving eagles, furry bears and foot pot chickens. We need a group of talents who know these countries particularly well!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, I'll arrange this as soon as possible!"
"good!"
Then Lu Zhengjun smiled and said, "Now that we've finished talking about business, let's talk about personal matters!"
"What's the personal matter?"
"Lao Yang is going to have a drink with us tonight, are you going?" Lu Zhengjun said.
"What time is it?"
"you decide!"
"How about half past eight!"
Then Zhou Yang explained: "I promised my mother that I would accompany her and the children to watch the performance at the Cultural Palace in the evening. It will be finished at almost eight o'clock!"
"Okay, then let me talk to Lao Yang!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"good..."
