"Meet me, my name is Dong Yunfeng. ”

Seeing the stunned look of the Feng family's uncle and nephew, Dong Lao revealed his identity with a smile, and he said, "Master Xiao Feng may not have heard of me, but Engineer Xiao Feng shouldn't be unfamiliar with my name, right?"

"Well, it turns out that you are Minister Dong!" Feng Fei's face was full of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Minister Dong, I've always known your name, but I've never seen you." ”

Dong Lao said: "It's not your fault, if you want to blame, you have to blame me for being too bureaucratic." I have been here to Dongxiang Factory six or seven times, but every time I have come and gone in a hurry, and I have never had the opportunity to meet and talk with ordinary workers. It's normal that Xiao Feng Gong doesn't know me. ”

Seeing that Feng Xiaochen was a little dazed, Feng Fei had no choice but to introduce Dong Lao to Feng Xiaochen. As Feng Xiaochen guessed, Dong Yunfeng, that is, the old Dong in front of him, is a founding veteran general, who has been in charge of national defense scientific research for a long time, has served as the minister of equipment, and is a man of his word in the field of military industry. Although he has taken a back seat, he still has a great say on the military-industrial front. He threatened to let the Science and Technology Commission replace the leadership of Dongxiang Factory, which is really not a big deal.

"Master Xiao Feng, you haven't heard of my name, but I've heard of your name, and I can even say that I have admired your name for a long time. Dong Lao obviously enjoyed this feeling of being blinded, and he said with a smile: "Do you want to know, how did I hear about your name?"

"Dong Lao, don't make fun of me. Feng Xiaochen replied with a bitter face, after listening to Feng Fei's introduction, Feng Xiaochen also remembered some things about Dong Yunfeng. Dong Yunfeng has always been in charge of the national defense industry, and he has not had much contact with the civilian industry, so Feng Xiaochen is not familiar with him. However, if you are not familiar with it, how could Feng Xiaochen not have heard of a founding general? Feng Xiaochen may not know what achievements he has made in the national defense industry, but Feng Xiaochen has heard of the great achievements of the old general in the southern and northern wars.

Listening to such an old general say that he has admired his name for a long time is two different things from hearing Wu Suyang say that he has admired his name for a long time. No matter how big Feng Xiaochen is, he doesn't dare to accept this compliment happily.

"Elder Dong, you are a big leader, far-sighted, and the affairs of various industries can't be hidden from your eyes, presumably there are also your old subordinates here in the Economic Committee, did you listen to what they said?" Feng Xiaochen asked tentatively.

"I didn't listen to the comrades of the Economic Commission. Dong Lao said, "I heard from another person." This man was indeed my subordinate in the past, and when I was a company commander in the army, he was my platoon commander. When I was a regimental commander in the army, he was a battalion commander. By the way, his name is Meng Fanze. ”

"Minister Meng!" This time it was Feng Xiaochen's turn to be shocked, this Dong Lao was actually Meng Fanze's old boss, and judging from the relationship between one being the regiment commander and the other being the battalion commander, the relationship between the two should be very close. A retired deputy minister in a local area recommended him to a retired minister in the military industrial system as a young man, and this recommendation is really not light. Meng Fanze's appreciation for Feng Xiaochen, Feng Xiaochen has always known. He could also guess what kind of extent Meng Fanze would say if he wanted to recommend himself to Dong Lao, no wonder Dong Lao attached so much importance to him from the beginning.

"It turns out that Dong Lao is the old leader of Minister Meng, I am really clumsy. Feng Xiaochen said respectfully.

"When Lao Meng first told me about you, I really didn't believe it. A young man in his early 20s, a junior high school student...... Well, by the way, Lao Meng said that you are studying for graduate school, but you, a graduate student, heard that you were exchanged for the position of deputy director. Dong Lao said.

Feng Xiaochen said embarrassedly: "Dong Lao really studied me too thoroughly, in fact, I am really just a junior high school student, and Minister Meng is wrong to love me." ”

"There is no wrong love, no wrong love at all. Dong Lao said, "After chatting with you for a while just now, I know why Lao Meng admires you." Clear-minded, open-minded, measured, know how to advance and retreat, and, just for the picture you just drawn, your technical foundation is very solid, Lao Gu, don't you say?"

Gu Jianhua nodded and said: "That's right, although this picture is drawn casually, it is obvious that there is a foundation for many years of design, and the technical indicators are at your fingertips, and many engineers in their 30s and 40s in our factory do not necessarily have such skills." ”

Feng Fei said: "I didn't expect Xiaochen's drawing skills to be so good. Last time he told me that he learned from my father, who was his grandfather, and I think he was just learning at most, but I didn't expect him to learn something really good. ”

Feng Fei's father is the old engineer Feng Weiren, Gu Jianhua knows this, and Dong Yunfeng has also heard about this from Meng Fanze, so what Feng Fei said is not enough to surprise the two. After everyone praised Feng Xiaochen a few more words, Dong Yunfeng pulled back the conversation and said:

"Xiao Feng Gong, Xiao Feng Master, you two are not outsiders now, you can also listen to some things, but don't spread them for the time being. I came to Dongxiang Factory this time, in fact, to do an investigation. Over the past year or so, the situation of third-tier enterprises has been very bad, and after some enterprises have switched to civilian products, the original business has been thrown away, and the talent team has also been dispersed. Although some enterprises have not yet turned into civilian products, the leaders are also uncertain, which is similar to the situation of our Dongxiang factory.

I very much agree with the idea that Master Feng talked about just now. The state has shifted the focus of its work to economic work, and the military industry has to temporarily bear some grievances, which is a helpless choice for our country, and from the perspective of the country's current economic strength, there is no problem with this policy. However, the decrease in military orders does not mean that military scientific research should be abandoned. Scientific research is a century-old plan, and if you give it up now, it will be difficult to pick it up again in the future. ”

Feng Xiaochen interjected: "Actually, this problem is very easy to solve, we should put forward such an idea, that is, only develop, not equip." I have read foreign materials, and the concept of the whole life cycle is now popular in foreign countries, and in the whole life cycle of weapon development, the cost of research and development accounts for only 5 to 8 percent of the total cost, and the cost of equipment and later maintenance is the majority. If we only develop and do not equip it, we will need very little investment, and the country will be able to afford it. Even if the state does not contribute money, it is possible to use the profits from civilian production to maintain investment in scientific research. ”

"Do you have any information about this?" asked Dong Lao sensitively.

"Yes...... bar. Feng Xiaochen replied hesitantly, the concept of the whole life cycle is quite popular in later generations, and Feng Xiaochen is not sure if someone has already put it forward. He said that he had read foreign materials, but in fact it was a false finger, and the real situation was the knowledge he brought in later generations. Now that Dong Lao is looking for him for information, he is really in trouble.

"Is it the information you read in the past, but you can't find it now?" Dong Lao heard what Feng Xiaochen meant and asked.

"That's ......"

"It doesn't matter, you just need to sort out what you know, and you don't necessarily need to find the original source. ”

"That's no problem at all, I'll be able to sort it out when I get back to the capital. Feng Xiaochen's answer should be very refreshing, it is not easy to find the original materials, but it is not difficult for him to make up this set of theories. As for the specific data, there was no detailed data in the public information on the military industry, and after he put forward the theory, the domestic military industry department took the practical data and checked it, and the specific data came out.

"Only developing, not equipping, or more development, less equipment, this is a good idea. Dong Lao nodded and said, "The current situation of third-tier enterprises needs to be vigorously rectified. Some of our business leaders are accustomed to doing things according to the requirements of their superiors, without any ability to adapt and innovate, and in this era, they are no longer suitable for management work. It is necessary to let these people go down and replace them with cadres with a pioneering spirit. ”

"I think a cadre like Master Feng is very pioneering. Gu Jianhua commented.

Dong Lao looked at Feng Xiaochen and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Feng, are you interested in coming to Dongxiang Factory? I am afraid it is not realistic to be the factory director directly, but I think it is more than enough to be an executive deputy factory director." ”

"This ...... It's better to be free. Feng Xiaochen was sweating. I came to help, and as a result, I became the executive deputy factory director, what is this matter? Later generations said that stock speculation became a shareholder, and real estate speculation became a landlord, which refers to this situation, right?

"Xiaochen is still too young to take on such a heavy responsibility. Feng Fei said beside him. He really has no confidence in his nephew, for fear that if his nephew really becomes the deputy factory director, everyone will poke him Feng Fei's backbone.

Dong Lao said: "What are you afraid of when you are young? During the war years, it was not uncommon for division commanders and regiment commanders of Xiao Feng's age to be seen. People like Zheng Lisheng are too old and their thinking is rigid. ”

Feng Xiaochen patted his ass and said, "Dong Lao, you are older, but your thinking is not rigid at all." ”

"Haha, is it?" Dong Lao smiled very happily, he said: "In this way, about finding a construction machinery company to cooperate, I am the master, entrusting Master Feng to be fully responsible for contacting, if the other party is interested, please invite the other party to come to the factory, and the factory to discuss the technical requirements, cooperation methods, costs, etc." After I returned to the capital, I made a suggestion to the Science and Technology Commission to replace it with a new team with vitality. Master Xiao Feng, you don't want to be the executive deputy director here, and I won't force you, but I hired you as a consultant for the National Third-Line Industrial Transformation Office, you won't refuse, right?"

"Don't dare, Dong Lao has orders, and I am duty-bound. Feng Xiaochen replied without hesitation.

Dong Lao said: "You study hard at the Academy of Social Sciences, and when you graduate, I will work with Lao Meng to recommend you to a more important department." A young person like you, who is capable and responsible, deserves to carry a heavier burden. ”
