Now Zhou Fangyuan's small family is already the absolute core of his grandmother's family.

And Zhou Fangyuan, who single-handedly pushed his family to this extent, is the treasure of his grandparents, knowing that Zhou Fangyuan actually went home, grandma asked Zhou Fangyuan to go over for dinner anyway, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse, go to grandma's house and sit with grandma and grandpa, it's good.

Grandma's house is still in the same position as before, and grandma's family will move in the future, but I am afraid it will take at least six or seven years to say this. Zhou's father had also proposed to change his father and mother to change houses before, but was rejected by his grandmother and grandfather. This is a family home, and all the people who live here are people from the same unit, and many of the old men are colleagues of my grandfather.

Everyone has gotten along with each other for a long time, and now letting the grandparents move away is equivalent to saying goodbye to these old guys, and of course the two old people can't accept it.

Dad Zhou still insisted at that time, but in the end, Zhou Fangyuan blocked it.

"You can prepare a house for your grandparents first, and when they want to move, they can move there. ”

The attitude of the old man is very firm, it is not easy to be reluctant to be a child, and the twisted melon is not sweet after all, and if one of them is not good, it will make the two old people unhappy. Therefore, it is the most stupid to forcibly let grandparents move, and it is best to be filial and visit the elderly more often. Secondly, like the current situation of their family, if they have money, they can buy more houses, on the one hand, they can sit up and wait for appreciation, and on the other hand, they can prepare in advance.

When is the old man willing to move, don't wait for the time to decorate, get out early to clean the smell, when the time comes, isn't it better to move in directly? As for the decoration style, to be honest, how many of the elderly care about this kind of thing? As long as it is comfortable to live, the ideas of the elderly are still different from those of young people, so they will not think about so many irrelevant things.

So in the end, the grandparents didn't move and still lived here. Preparing the house for grandparents Zhou Dad had already started to discuss it before, but there has been no result, and I don't know how long it will be delayed.

After parking the car, the family of three went upstairs.

As soon as she entered the door, her grandmother came over and grabbed Zhou Fangyuan's hand.

"My good grandson is back. ”

The old man said, hugging Zhou Fangyuan and kissing him on the face.

"Grandma, I'm not a child anymore. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said helplessly.

"Haha, I'm still shy, come, come in, and tell grandma how it is to learn painting in the capital. ”

Grandma smiled and dragged Zhou Fangyuan to sit down on the sofa, for grandma, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Zhou Fangyuan had no complaints. In the previous life, his family was not good, and he himself was very bad, but his grandmother never looked at him with an alternative eye, and in the whole big family, only his grandmother had always regarded him as a precious grandson. Even grandpa was reluctant to deal with him in the later period, but grandma was so kind and kind from beginning to end, so Zhou Fangyuan had absolutely no complaints about grandma.

Zhou Fangyuan sat on the sofa and chatted with his grandmother, his mother washed his hands, went in to cook with his second aunt and third aunt, and his father sat at the table with his grandfather and two uncles and an uncle and began to drink wine.

"Brother, I heard you're going to buy the glass factory?"

As soon as he took two sips, the second uncle suddenly brought up the topic.

"Jianjun, you are very well informed. ”

Dad Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at his second brother.

Zhou Fangyuan's second uncle used to be a teacher at the school, but later because of the Xu family, he was promoted, and now he has been transferred to the Education Bureau and has become a section chief. Counting on himself, he may not be qualified to be promoted to a regular department until he is in his forties and fifties, but now with Mayor Liu's care, it is not difficult to be a regular department.

What's more important is that his own knowledge, qualifications, and abilities are all sufficient, but he has never had the opportunity before, so he can only be an ordinary teacher.

Now that he has entered the Education Bureau, it can be regarded as the most difficult step, as long as this step is passed, even if Mayor Liu is transferred in the future, he will have more room for growth.

It's just that the Education Bureau is a relatively closed department, and this afternoon just discussed this matter with Mayor Liu, and the second uncle brought it up in the evening, Zhou Fangyuan didn't believe that Mayor Liu took the initiative to tell him about this matter, so he and his father were surprised by this matter.

"Hehe, in fact, I didn't inquire, but our deputy director told me before getting off work. ”

The second uncle smiled shyly and said.

Under Secretary for Education?

Zhou Fangyuan blinked when he heard this, he still didn't understand how the news spread, but think about it carefully, there are many people who participated in the consultation today, and the senior management of the glass factory also knows about this matter, so many people, any one of them says it, it is possible to immediately spread the news throughout most of Beitong City, so it is not surprising that the second uncle can know about this matter, in fact, it is not surprising to think about it.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Grandpa took a sip of liquor and asked.

"Don't ask me about this, let Yangyang tell you. ”

With a light kick, Dad kicked the ball to Zhou Fangyuan's side.

Grandpa, they immediately cast their eyes over, and grandma also patted the back of Zhou Fangyuan's hand, "This matter still has something to do with you, what is the situation, tell grandma." ”

"Here's what happened......"

Zhou Fangyuan said that he received a phone call, and then came back to help Shen Cunzhi, but when he was helping, he was "coerced" by Secretary Feng and had to buy the glass factory, "...... In fact, the acquisition of the glass factory was not all because of Secretary Feng, or rather, this matter was actually a good thing. ”

"A good thing?"

The third uncle frowned, "We all know what the mess of the glass factory is, to put it mildly, that factory is really free and no one wants it, now our Beitong glass is bought back from Nanlong, and the locals don't buy local glass, can such a broken factory still be useful?"

The third uncle said that he couldn't understand it at all.

"Third uncle, in fact, this matter is really not so pessimistic, just because everyone in the glass factory is not optimistic, this matter is promising......

Then, Zhou Fangyuan said his "speculation" on the development of Beitong, and the memorandum signed with Mayor Liu, within ten years, all the construction projects in Beitong City responsible for the city, the glass must buy the glass of the original glass factory, of course, it does not mean that with this memorandum you can sit back and relax.

"It doesn't matter if no one buys the glass in the city, it can be sold to the surrounding towns and villages. The glass in Nanlong is good, but they are more expensive, and there is a problem of freight transportation to Beitong. Our glass does not have this problem, originally these glasses were also bought together at a very cheap price, and they were sold directly at a low price, and they rushed to the market first.

Of course, I was not ready to eat the old book from the beginning, and the problem of the glass factory now is that it is too serious to eat the old book, without any innovative spirit and awareness, of course, it will be eliminated by the market. After the acquisition of the glass factory is completed, I am ready to introduce new production equipment and set up a glass R&D laboratory to develop special glass.

Grandpa, second uncle and third uncle, you should also know that the application range of glass is particularly wide, architecture, daily use, art, medical, chemical, electronics, instrumentation, nuclear engineering, all walks of life can see glass. Of course, I'm not so arrogant as to think that I can get this glass factory involved in all areas, and if I can gain a foothold in one of them, this factory will be able to eat all over the place. And I already have an idea, I plan to develop aluminosilicate glass first after I set up a laboratory. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

Others may still be at a loss when they hear this, but Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather raised his eyebrows.

"Aluminosilicate glass?"

Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather was born in chemistry, so he is very sensitive to this word.

"Yangyang, do you want to make chemical glass?"

"It's not just chemical glass, grandpa, the content of alumina and silica in aluminosilicate glass is very high, and the molded glass should have good chemical stability, electrical insulation, mechanical strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion, which can theoretically be used to process and manufacture halogen lamp glass shells, screen covers, chemical pipelines, base-free sheets, alkali-free glass fibers, etc., which belong to special industrial glass. ”

Zhou Fangyuan explained.

"But you have to understand that the higher the indicators, the more difficult the R&D work will be, and you have to be prepared to fail and keep burning money. ”

Grandpa reminded.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm ready for this. And in fact, before that, I had already paid attention to this field, and there was a Corning company in the United States, which is a multinational company that produces all kinds of glass. Corning accidentally created a glass-ceramic called Chemcor in 1962 when Corning embarked on a large-scale development called Project Muscle to explore a higher strength material for windshields.

However, this technology was too advanced, which led to the high price of this glass, so the market response of this Chemcor glass was not good at that time. In 1971, Corning Glassworks closed the ProjectMuscle project in order to reduce the company's expenses, and the glass, called Chemcor, was put into the cold.

My idea was to spend some money and get the people who were working on Project Muscle from Corning, preferably to make a replica of Chemcor glass. In terms of technology, we do have a big gap with each other now, but it doesn't matter, spend money to buy technology in the early stage, buy people, and train their own R & D personnel, once the time is ripe, we can develop our own glass, when the time comes, we can Chemcor2.0, Chemcor3.0 and other versions, this kind of glass has begun to have a market now, this is the first way out I prepared for the glass factory. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said confidently.
