Along the way from Jichun to Ningjiang, Chen Can frowned and looked out the window.

In the early spring of March, the heavy snow had not completely melted, but wherever he passed, Chen Can saw that it was shocking.

During the journey of more than 300 kilometers, he barely encountered a small car. The vehicles that occasionally passed by were either Liberation vehicles or tractors. The black smoke drifted all the way and drifted so far away that it was staggering!

What Chen Can remembers the most is that he passed by a small village. There were a group of children, wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets on the upper body, a pair of long johns on the lower body, and a pair of tattered cloth shoes on their feet. Their hands were covered with frostbite, and their faces were red and covered with frostbite scars.

All scabbed!

Regardless of whether they are men or women, they are almost all dressed in that way. It is obvious that the clothes they wear are patchworked by family members.

That scene shocked Chen Can deeply.

It has been nearly a year since he traveled to this era, and he has been wandering around Jichun City. As a provincial capital city, there are certainly many poor people in it, such as the people in Guangzi District.

But compared to the rural areas of this era, the living conditions of urban people are countless times better.

After stepping out of his comfort zone, Chen Can finally understood that the world was not what he imagined.

Yes, in this era, we are too poor, with everything waiting to be done, everything has to start from scratch!

Chen Can could not imagine that forty years later, high-speed trains, airplanes, highways, mobile phones, the Internet, and television would be completely integrated into people's lives.

All those achievements are so remarkable and so hard-won!

As a Chinese, Chen Can felt a sense of responsibility welling up in his heart at this moment.

Perhaps, it’s time for me to do something for this country and the people on this land!

Along the way, the snow water had not completely melted. It took a whole day of walking for more than 300 kilometers, and we did not arrive at a guest house in Ningjiang until 8:30 pm.

Huang Jiang arranged Chen Can first. It's too late today. All work matters will be discussed tomorrow.

After Chen Can sent Huang Jiang away, he stood in front of the second floor window and looked at the night outside the window.

Although Ningjiang is a county-level city, it is obviously more depressed than Chen Can imagined.

It was only half past eight in the evening, and it was already dark outside. This guest house was still in the city center.

The lack of active nightlife also reflects the local economic situation.

As you can imagine, there are no street lights even in the city center.

Fortunately, the conditions of this guest house were pretty good, and the whole room was warm. Chen Can got into bed and had a dreamless night, sleeping until dawn.

At around eight o'clock the next morning, a waiter knocked on the door.

Chen Can got dressed, opened the door, and saw a young man standing outside. Only then did Chen Can remember that this was Huang Jiang's secretary.

Chen Can smiled, washed up, and followed the other person downstairs to have some breakfast, then got on the pick-up car and went to Ningjiang City Hall.

The allocation of county-level cities is slightly higher than that of ordinary counties, which may also be Huangjiang's confidence.

It was so dark last night that Chen Can didn't even have time to take a good look at the city.

Chen Can sat in front of the window and took a closer look at the city. This may be the city center, which is cleaner and more prosperous than Chen Can imagined.

The office workers riding bicycles were in a hurry, and the grocery shopping lady carrying a basket was wearing a big scarf, only her eyes were exposed, and her hands were tightly huddled in her pockets.

Chen Can felt that it was very friendly. It was like a small Jichun. Perhaps they were both in the Northeast. The people's dress and living customs here were almost the same.

In the distance, several large chimneys were emitting white smoke. Chen Can knew that they should be cement factories.

It seems that the heavy industries in Ningjiang City are basically high-pollution heavy industries.

Chen Can frowned and was thinking. The map of Ningjiang came to his mind.

He was thinking about the advantages of this city. Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the distance, making Chen Can startled.

"Yes, the train station!"

Chen Can’s eyes also lit up!

Ningjiang itself does not have any mineral resources, but it is close to three resource cities, and all minerals will be transferred through Ningjiang.

Ningjiang's railway lines extend in all directions and can lead to Yanjing, which is thousands of miles away. Almost all major cities in the north can be reached directly.

As for the railway lines transporting to the south, there is no direct connection, but there are transfer stations along the way.

The reason why Chen Can thought of the train station was that he naturally had to think about the future development of Ningjiang.

There is a saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!

Railways are also roads, and they are still existing transportation routes.

As long as Ningjiang can develop, these can be fully utilized!

Chen Can remembered that in the next ten years, as the economy of Northeast China further deteriorates, many of the railways currently passing through Ningjiang will have their routes changed, and many lines will even be out of service and abandoned.

Chen Can was thinking about this all the way, and he didn't wake up until he got off the car.

Ningjiang City Government is just a three-story ordinary red brick building, typical of the 1960s and 1970s style.

Chen Can suddenly remembered that in later generations, he was standing in front of a certain county government building. The twenty- to thirty-story white high-rise building and the shining national emblem always felt a bit unreal.

Everything will be fine, Chen Can took a deep breath and strode in!

Chen Can's arrival aroused the attention of many people. Everyone may have already known about Chen Can, so they all greeted him with smiles and nods.

This kind of treatment is completely different from the previous treatment in the Second Branch Factory.

Chen Can responded with a smile and nodded, and was led into a conference room by Secretary Wu. At this time, it was already full of people.

Chen Can took a look and found that the person above was none other than Huang Jiang.

Huang Jiang smiled and waved to Chen Can, asking him to sit in the seat below.

Chen Can was not a novice, so he naturally knew that he could not sit in this seat, but Secretary Huang invited him. He thought about it, said hello to the others, and then sat down.

As everyone arrived, the meeting officially began.

Huang Jiang first introduced Chen Can to everyone, boasting all kinds of things, which made Chen Can blush.

In Huang Jiang's boast, the reason why Jichun City's No. 2 Wireless Factory is so popular is that more than half of the credit goes to Chen Can.

Chen Can could only respond with a wry smile.

Next, Huang Jiang started talking about business.

That's about building a new wireless factory.

The name of this wireless factory is Ningjiang Wireless Factory!

At present, the address has been selected, the employees have been recruited, the equipment has been brought into the factory, and the funds and other things have been prepared. All that is left is Chen Can's project.

Huang Jiang's meaning is obvious. Chen Can is in charge of all project arrangements in this wireless factory.

Chen Can is also very honored. This is the feeling of being truly valued.

Perhaps, some of the following people do not believe in Chen Can's ability, but at this time, no one will come out to object.

There is no such plot as a slap in the face in the novel, all these obstacles have been cleared by Huang Jiang.

It can be said that as the controller of this city, Huangjiang has already bet on its own future.

No one should be allowed to block the establishment of wireless factories.

Maybe there were people with different opinions before Chen Can came, but Huang Jiang must have found a way to kick him out of Ningjiang!

this is the truth!

At the end of the meeting, Huang Jiang raised the issue of the next project of Ningjiang Wireless Factory, and Huang Jiang said with confidence.

"The equipment production equipment of Factory 7127 has all been moved to Ningjiang Wireless Factory, which has a complete production line of electronic components and equipment, and all raw materials, including radio spare parts, have been issued by the city to fully cooperate with Ningjiang The production task of the wireless factory!”

Factory 7127 was a former military wireless factory under Liaoshen. With the needs of the times, it has been eliminated. Jiangning Wireless Factory is being built, and all the machinery and equipment happens to be ready-made.

With the reform and opening up, many military-to-civilian projects have become a general trend.

Chen Can nodded, but in the end, he still put forward his own opinion!

That is, he is preparing to start a new project. This project not only needs the support of the city, but may even need the support of the province!

This project is an electronic watch project!

The reason why Chen Can wants to develop electronic watches is very simple. In the early 1980s, this gadget almost completely destroyed the domestic watch industry due to massive smuggling.

Another important reason why Chen Can is planning to develop an electronic watch is that he plans to start reverse research on chips with the help of the electronic watch project.

In the mid-1970s, an electronic watch cost several hundred dollars abroad. By 1977, with the development of the first electronic watch IC chip, this noble gadget quickly began to fall from the altar.

By the early 1980s, electronic watches could cost as little as two yuan a piece.

Later, in the 1990s, electronic watches priced at five yuan a piece at the entrance of many domestic schools became popular throughout China.

To make money, you have to make money from the limelight. Chen Can thinks very simply.

Rather than letting smugglers spend a lot of silver dollars and gold to transport junk goods from abroad, it is better to produce it yourself.

It’s not like electronic watches cannot be produced in China.

Ahem!

It seems that it is really impossible to produce it now, but Chen Can can!
