Chapter 19: Driving Horses into Xinjiang (1)

Zhao Zhenzhong returned to Qingdao for only two days. Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao and his group arrived at the Qingdao Special Wharf of Huamei Company on the morning of August 27.

When the ship approached Jiaozhou Bay, a group of young people who were standing on the deck cheering for their return to China were even more excited when they saw Zhao Zhenzhong, Li Yuntian, Ma Renming and others who were greeting him on the dock.

As soon as the boat landed, everyone couldn't wait to rush to the dock, surrounding Zhao Zhenzhong and others to tell the situation after parting in recent years. Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao, and Li Yunshan returned to China together in August and September last year, especially Zhou Hao returned to China several times, so the three of them were not as excited as others. When the other 65 people went abroad, they were mostly young teenagers around 18 years old. After the first time they returned to China 7 years later, they had grown into promising young people around 25 years old. This made everyone excited and moved.

After everyone was joking around Zhao Zhenzhong for a while, they consciously let him aside, making him face Zhou Tian, ​​who was walking behind with a red face with some reserve.

"Uncle Shi, Renming and I are responsible for receiving everyone here. You might as well go and accompany Mr. Shi." Relying on his old age and being a person who has experienced it again, Li Yuntian said to Zhao Zhenzhong with a smile.

"Go, go." Li Yunshan, Liu Chenghai and other young people who returned to China said with a hint of a hint of a smile.

Whether they stepped forward or not, these guys would make fun of themselves. Since that's the case, it would be better to be generous. After thinking it through, Zhao Zhenzhong blushed and walked to Zhou Tian, ​​reached out to pick up the suitcase in her hand, and said, "I'll take this one."

Zhou Tian nodded with a smile and handed the suitcase to Zhao Zhenzhong. After hesitating, he put one of his hands in Zhao Zhenzhong's stretched out hand, and the two held hands and walked hand in hand.

I don’t know who led the lead, but the young people on one side began to applaud. Although Zhao and Zhou were still a little shy and unacceptable to everyone’s enthusiasm, their hands were not released.

"Okay, okay, uncle master has achieved his goal, so we should not make trouble and go back to Nanyao early." Li Yuntian was worried that Zhao Zhenzhong would not be able to bear the burden of face, so he greeted everyone, "Grandpa, grandma and some young people back then, but they are waiting for everyone there. And some younger brothers and sisters who are preparing to study in the United States this year are also waiting for you to introduce their experience at Sihai School."

"It is not easy for Lao Zhao and his sister to achieve success, and it is a fate in their old age." Zhou Hao, who has always loved to join in the fun, nodded seriously this time, and agreed, "Let's go to Nanyao early."

After hearing what Li Yuntian and Zhou Hao said, everyone remembered the Li Shiqing, Li Shifen and others who took care of him 7 years ago, as well as the Sihai School that cultivated him. They were eager to see them as soon as possible.

At the greeting of Li Yuntian and Ma Renming, everyone took the iron-shelled ship used by Sihai Industrial to transport goods and arrived at Nanyao at noon. At the Nanyao Wharf, they were excited again when they saw Li Shiqing, Li Shifen, Liu Dehai, Li Tongsheng and others waiting there. Especially Li Shifen and Li Shifen, when they saw their grandson Li Yunshan, Liu Chenghai and the adopted children who had returned from school, although they couldn't stop laughing, their tears couldn't stop flowing down.

After everyone calmed down, Li Yuntian and Ma Renming greeted everyone to the reception desk of Sihai Industrial in Nanyao, where there was a renovated banquet waiting to welcome everyone.

After drinking and eating, Li Yuntian and Ma Renming took the others to visit several factories of Sihai Industrial. Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao and Li Yunshan reported to Zhao Zhenzhong about the progress of industries in the United States, Australia, Nanyang and other places, and explained the personnel adjustments.

After Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao and Li Yunshan returned to China, two Central Committee members of the People's Party's Overseas Branch Tang Ming and Yu Wentian served as chief and deputy director of the Overseas Branch, three alternate members Li Yunlan, Jiang Fengxue and Ruan Mingbo assisted in the operation of the branch.

Zhao Zhenzhong has previously confirmed the adjustments to overseas branch organization personnel through telegrams, and there is no problem. The development of overseas related industries that he is concerned about now, and how much help can he provide to the development and construction of domestic base areas in the future.

"The part I am responsible for is relatively less involved, so let's talk first." Zhou Hao said first, "Radar and sonar are no longer a problem now. Although Cheng Hai and I only assembled two experimental products in Huamei's laboratory, we found that the effect was good after preliminary verification. In addition, the production line designed and manufactured by ourselves, together with other electrical production equipment, had been shipped back before. However, if we want to formally produce, there are still many problems to solve, the most important thing is the lack of combined technical workers. In addition, after we returned to China, the electrical factories in the United States have basically maintained their current status and can provide us with support for electrical components in the future."

With clear technical data as a basis, and Zhou Hao has tinkered with transistors in advance, there are no major obstacles to the development and production of ultra-short wave radar. Similarly, the development of sonar has been supported by certain technical data, and there are no major difficulties in production. Since the main purpose of studying in the United States has been achieved, Zhou Hao does not need to continue to stay. After completely eliminating the relevant traces in the laboratory and entrusting the electrical appliance company to other reliable personnel to take over, Zhou Hao and Liu Chenghai returned to China together. They will undertake the production tasks related to electrical appliances in the two bases in the future.

However, the difficulties raised by Zhou Hao do need to be paid attention to. The two base areas have some of the workers who have engaged in mechanical processing, but none of them have any technical workers who have been engaged in electrical appliance production. If the training object is a person with a high school education or above and familiar with the basic theory of circuits and currents, then after a year and a half of theoretical study and practice, it should be able to use them together; but if the training object has a low level of education and knows nothing about circuits and currents, it will take at least a few years of hard work to cultivate it.

The students who graduate from Sihai School every year have learned circuits and the like, but these are the seedlings that want to study in the United States. Now if they are asked to interrupt their studies to work as workers, it will be a bit of a waste.

"This is indeed a trouble." Zhao Zhenzhong pondered, "Let's do this, there are also a group of students in the Yimeng base area this year. Let Cheng Hai pick some good seedlings from it first to cultivate it. It is estimated that it will be fine to be an electrical worker in a year and a half. Let them study in the factory during the day and continue their studies at night at night."

It has been seven years since the Guards entered Yimeng in 25 years. The earliest group of students in northern Yimeng has completed middle school courses. Zhao Zhenzhong originally planned to let the heads of returning to China set up a university in the Yimeng base area to continue educating this group of students. Since various industries are urgently in need of technical workers, Zhao Zhenzhong had to change the university to Yeda University, providing students who have entered several industries with technical workers to further their studies.

Although night schools were popular in later history, in this era, night schools founded by universities also appeared in some big cities, providing some young people who are eager for knowledge to learn. When Yu Youren became the president of Shanghai University in the 1920s, he opened night schools for workers at Shanghai University. Therefore, Zhao Zhenzhong’s idea of ​​“night schools” is not strange.

"Haha, Uncle Master's solution is good." Li Yunshan smiled, "The problems I worry about can be solved together."

In fact, not only the mechanical processing that Li Yunshan is responsible for requires technical workers with a certain level of culture, but also various industries such as pharmaceutical production that Zhou Tian is responsible for, and chemical factories that Zhang Xiaoming is responsible for all need high-level technical workers. Even if you need to cultivate it yourself, the more cultural knowledge people are, the easier it is, right?

"The industry I want to build when I return to China is basically the cars, tractors, machine tools, precision instruments and other aspects that my uncle had previously requested. The relevant equipment should also be transported to two base areas." Li Yunshan continued to introduce, "But it will take at least one or two years to start production smoothly. As for Antai Machinery Company, Yu Wentian is responsible there, so it will definitely not be wrong."

In addition to the quality of personnel, the construction of the factory area, the provision of power energy, and the solution of production raw materials will take time. Yimeng is more prepared. In two years, there should be no major problems in the relevant industry to be officially put into production. However, it will take a lot of time to solve the power energy in the northwest, and it is still unknown whether it can be put into production in two years.

"With sufficient electricity, the pharmaceutical production line in Yimeng will be officially put into production in a year." Zhou Tian also introduced, "But it's hard to say about the northwest. Shengxin Pharmaceutical Company now has Yunlan there, so it's no problem."

"The hydropower in Yimeng has been completed, and construction will start in the northwest after this fall. Large projects may not be completed within two years, but it is still possible to build some small hydropower to provide power for related industries." Zhao Zhenzhong affirmed.

"Before we returned to China, the overseas branch determined its future development policy to 'maintain the status quo, train new people, support the country, and gradually retreat'." Zhou Tian explained, "Our foundation is in China, and good things must be left to ourselves, and we cannot be cheaper than Western powers now."

According to the decision of the overseas branch of the People's Party, in the future, in addition to learning advanced Western theories and technologies, overseas students in the United States will not propose new theories and new technologies overseas, and new products will only improve existing products. Overseas industries, while maintaining existing production capacity, will become internship bases for newcomers and become providers of high-quality finished products and high-quality raw materials in domestic base areas. After the training of newcomers in the first stage, most personnel and shareholding capital will be withdrawn from China one after another.

Zhao Zhenzhong did not object to this development strategy of overseas branches. As Zhou Tian said, good things should be kept for himself. If the domestic base develops and maintains technological leadership in some key industries, it may win an extremely favorable situation for the People's Party and the entire country in the future.

The relevant equipment transported to the base area now includes a series of basic industries such as steel and metallurgy, energy and electricity, machine tool manufacturing, power machinery production, precision instruments, medicine, chemicals, etc. Although the industry established based on it cannot be compared with those foreign giants in terms of scale, with these, it can form its own industrial system...
