Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After seeing Minister Hong off, several cadres breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they couldn't relax with the leader present.

Then Sun Zhengguo called Zhou Weimin and asked him to arrange the offices of several leaders and ask the kitchen to prepare some dishes to welcome the new leaders at noon.

When the other leaders heard about this arrangement, they were quite satisfied and followed Zhou Weimin upstairs.

Only the newly appointed Deputy Director Zhang remained in his original position, probably because he still had something he wanted to talk to Sun Zhengguo about.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that."

After everyone left, Sun Zhengguo saw the resentful look in Deputy Director Zhang's eyes and felt a little uneasy.

"Brother Sun, I found that you have turned bad. You had a lot of fun yesterday, but you really screwed me over. You don't know that we almost had a fight. You must compensate me."

After hearing Deputy Director Zhang's complaints, Sun Zhengguo knew that he was acting, but he did not expose him, but promised.

"Brother, I'm giving this to you, and you can't keep it. I can't do anything about it. How about this! These things are hard to come by, I'll try to get you a few more bottles, as for the time?"

When Sun Zhengguo said this, he paused for a moment, pretending to think about it, and then said: "At the fastest, it will take half a year, at the slowest, it will take a year."

"Thank you then!"

Deputy Director Zhang succeeded in his fraud and regained his normal expression. He then went upstairs to tidy up his new office...

During lunch, Deputy Director Zhang saw that the wine served on the table was not the little black bottle, but Fenjiu.

He was very happy in his heart, as this meant that Sun Zhengguo had not lied to him and the wine was indeed gone.

After the meal, everyone took a short break and it was time to go back to work in the afternoon.

Thus, the first standing committee meeting of the new leadership team of the institute was officially held.

At the meeting, Sun Zhengguo was as concise and clear as ever, allowing everyone to speak freely about the institute's next work goals.

When several other members of the Standing Committee took office, they also made up for the work of the institute.

Although they also want to achieve some results, their strength does not allow it.

Therefore, when everyone speaks, it is always a lot of noise but little action, and they never get to the point.

When Sun Zhengguo saw this situation, he realized that this was not going to work and he had to provide guidance himself.

"Comrades! What you said just now is very good, but I have to find the right direction for my scientific research. I have two plans for your reference."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, Zhou Weimin, who was in charge of recording, took out the manuscript that had been prepared long ago and distributed it to the Standing Committee members.

The content of the manuscript is also very simple.

First: Continue to delve deeper into the machine tool business. After all, there are many types of machine tools, and there is still a long way to go if we want to make up for all the shortcomings.

Second: Prepare to launch new scientific research projects to develop engines, so as to make up for our country's shortcomings in this area. After all, importing or imitating all year round is not a solution.

Sun Zhengguo has already thought carefully about these two paths. The former is his forte, and the latter is not too unfamiliar to him.

Even if he was not from the future, with his current abilities, it is not impossible for him to develop the engine; it just might take a little longer.

Soon, everyone finished reading the document, and Li Shengli, as the second-ranked member of the Standing Committee, began to speak first.

"Comrades! I think the development ideas that Director Sun has prepared for our institute are very good, and their development prospects are also very good."

"However, as a newly established company, we are still relatively young, so we should focus on stability. I personally prefer research on machine tools, but this is only my personal opinion."

After listening to what Li Shengli said, Sun Zhengguo knew that he was a conservative who believed in steady and cautious progress.

At the same time, it is almost impossible to ask people with this kind of personality to innovate.

After Li Shengli spoke, Deputy Director Zhang took over.

"Comrades! It's good to play it safe, but we are a mechanical research institute. We can't just rely on machine tools for the rest of our lives, right?"

"Although the types of machine tools are still a little lacking, they are sufficient. Therefore, I prefer to develop in the engine field, so that we can live up to the name of the Mechanical Research Institute."

Yes! It seems that Deputy Director Zhang belongs to the radical faction, so that he can get more capital for advancement.

The advantage of this is that you can get promoted quickly, but the disadvantage is equally obvious. Once you fail, there is no hope of promotion.

Several other members of the Standing Committee spoke next, and their opinions were similar to those of the two others, as they were unable to make up their minds for the time being.

In the end, everyone could only look at Sun Zhengguo and ask, since it was you who provided the idea, what do you think?

Facing everyone's gaze, Sun Zhengguo did not intend to strike any balance, but directly stated his purpose.

"Comrades! We can change our thinking. Since both sides are feasible, we can do it at the same time, focusing on machine tools and supplemented by engines."

"I will be responsible for the machine tool drawings, and Chief Chen will be responsible for collecting engine data. Once the machine tool drawings are completed, we can continue to develop the engine. There will be no conflict between the two sides. What do you think?"

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, several members of the Standing Committee exchanged ideas and all thought it was feasible. The result was self-evident and it was passed unanimously.

In fact, Sun Zhengguo didn't know that there was no need for him to go around in such a big circle. If he had said this at the beginning, it would have been passed unanimously.

After the meeting, Sun Zhengguo arranged for Zhou Weimin to write a report to be submitted to the Ministry of Machinery.

As for former secretary Hu Xinmin?

He was transferred back to his original unit as early as when Cheng Wanli was arrested.

After explaining everything clearly, Sun Zhengguo returned to his office, made a cup of tea, and began to study the machine tool drawings.

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

He didn't even raise his head, just picked up the phone and spoke.

"Hello! Hello, this is the Mechanical Research Institute, I'm Sun Zhengguo."

"Hello! Comrade Zhengguo! It's been a few years since we last met. You don't even bother to come back to visit your parents."

The voice coming from the microphone made Sun Zhengguo a little confused. When did I have a mother's family? Also, why did that voice just now sound so familiar?

Seeing that Sun Zhengguo hadn't reacted yet, the person on the other end of the phone spoke again.

"What? Now you even forget the old people from the Metallurgical Department?"

"Oh!" Sun Zhengguo suddenly realized, "Deputy Minister Bai, it's you. I'm sorry, as you know, I'm too busy with work and have no time to rest, so I didn't come to see you."

Of course, these words were all said by Sun Zhengguo, and Deputy Minister Bai on the other end of the phone knew it. He was just giving both parties a way out.

"Zhengguo, I called you today for no other reason. I prepared a family dinner this weekend and wanted to invite you to come over for dinner. I wonder if you would be willing to give me a favor."

After listening to Vice Minister Bai's speech, Sun Zhengguo knew that this was definitely not a good banquet.

But since the boss invited him, he couldn't refuse.

Although Sun Zhengguo is now a full-rank department-level cadre, it seems that he is only one level away from the vice-ministerial level.

But this step is like a world of difference. Without connections and opportunities, it will be difficult to get ahead in your lifetime.

"Deputy Minister Bai, it's my honor that you personally invited me. I will definitely be there on time."

"Okay, I'll wait for you then..."

Next, Deputy Minister Bai made an appointment, left his address, and the two hung up the phone.
