"I am very upset that Wenming and Pauline did not inform me of their marriage. Comrades-in-arms for more than ten years, no matter how far away, what is inconvenient, it is not a reason, so just now Lao Chen and Ding Aiguo were punished with three glasses of wine each. Sister-in-law, if you miss once, you can't miss the second time, no matter if the third son gets married or Linlin gets married, you have to inform me no matter what. ”

When night falls, the lights come on, and the banquet hall of Linhai Hotel in Longkou Industrial Zone is full of friends.

Chen Baolin worked hard and gave birth to a fat boy of seven pounds and six pounds to Ding Wenming.

As a grandfather, Ding Aiguo is happier than anyone else, now he does not hold public office, and his family has money, so he simply notified all the comrades-in-arms who could be contacted, and invited the big guy to drink his grandson's "wash three" wine.

I don't know if Lu Dao is because the promotion speed is too fast, or the superiors want to focus on training. After the report, the Ministry of Economic and Trade did not arrange a specific job for Chen Zhenghuai, but let him study at the Central Party School.

Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets are no different from a mixed day. When his daughter gave birth, he couldn't sit still, so he simply took a week off and went to the Special Zone to hug his little grandson.

After taking off the military uniform for so many years, it is time for the old comrades-in-arms to get together, otherwise as time goes by, there will be no chance to get together. So he also dug out the address book and invited several good comrades-in-arms from all directions.

The Ding and Chen families are on business, and the Zhang family is a guest.

Wu Xiulan didn't want to dominate the crowd, so she deliberately chose a table on the side and sat with Zhang Hui, who had just returned from Hong Kong in the afternoon, Tian Qiuju, Xia Zhigao, Xia Ning, Su Xingyun and others.

However, Chen Zhenghuai's comrades-in-arms were Zhang Yuanchao's comrades-in-arms before his death. Before grabbing the chopsticks, the guests on the main seat came over one after another to toast.

Wang Yuanzheng, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division of the C Army. Her husband's immediate boss. has always taken good care of the Zhang family. Wu Xiulan hurriedly got up and said, "I must please, I must please, I'm afraid that you won't have time when the time comes." ”

"Sister-in-law, Lao Wang is already the division commander."

Chen Zhenghuai took the drink from Zhang Hui's hand, and while helping Wu Xiulan and Tian Qiuju to get full, he introduced with a smile: "The deputy division I was promoted when I changed jobs, I was recommended by the army to go to the F University for further study before I finished my term, and now I am the acting commander of the D division of the Guangdu Military Region. Most of the ass was already sitting in the general's chair. ”

"You're here?"

"It belongs to the Guangdu Military Region, but the station is not in Dongguang Province," Wang Yuanzheng raised his wine glass and smiled heartily: "Sister-in-law, in-laws, Xiaohui also took the cup, I did it, you are free."

As soon as he drank it all, Gu Xinyuan, the former political commissar of the third regiment commander of the First Division of the C Army and the current director of the Political Department of the First Division of the C Army, came over with a cup and said with a smile on his face: "Xiaohui married a big boss, and Linlin is studying for a master's degree." Not to mention San'er's kid, he earned such a big business. Sister-in-law, congratulations. ”

……

The three generations of the Zhang family are single, and the people are not prosperous, and they have no relatives except for the Wu family, but the identities of their friends are more prominent than the other. In the troops, there are division commanders, directors of political departments, deputy division commanders, chief of staff, and the lowest rank is also the regiment commander. At the local level, there are deputy directors, county leaders, bureau chiefs, and deputy directors...... It's all officials.

I was overwhelmed, and I couldn't remember what Xia Zhigao was the surname of the toast after getting the most toast.

"Look at the second uncle," Zhang Hui put down her chopsticks, looked at Wu Xiucheng on the main seat, and said with a smile: "Mom, Aunt Tian, I see that Xiaolian and Changhe's affairs are inseparable, or can the second uncle be so happy?" ”

Chen Shikang, director of the Shazhou City Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, and his family are here, although the level is low, but they are also from the C Army. On the issue of the lifelong events of the children of the C Army, their attitude is the same.

looked at his younger brother who was smiling drunk, and then looked sideways at Wu Xiaolian and Chen Changhe who were sitting at the other table, Wu Xiulan smiled knowingly: "So many leaders accompany him, such a big face, can you not be happy?" ”

While speaking, Gu Hongxia came down from the upstairs guest room with her grandson in her arms, and the banquet hall suddenly boiled, everyone rushed to see the little guy, Ding Wenming and his mother-in-law Xu Ping followed behind to collect the red envelopes.

Tian Qiuju was very envious, holding her chin and muttering, "It would be nice if the charter and Xia Yao could have a child." ”

Wu Xiulan sighed lightly, shook her head and said with a wry smile: "But they are so busy, we can't urge." ”

After lunch, Wang Yuanzheng, Gu Xinyuan and others, who had finally come to visit, had to go to the beach villa to visit the old lady. They were all comrades-in-arms of her husband before his death, and Wu Xiulan couldn't refuse this request, so she hurriedly left Li Xiaoshan and his wife, who were about to return to the company, to accompany her. Fortunately, none of them were wearing military uniforms, otherwise the old lady would have touched the scene again.

Sitting in the living room and chatting, they naturally talked about the three sisters of the Zhang family, and after receiving the strong tea offered by Zhang Hui, Gu Xinyuan asked with a smile: "Xiaohui, when will your family bring us to meet?" ”

"Uncle Gu, he went to Africa, and it is estimated that it will take a month to come back."

"To Africa?"

Zhang Huiyan smiled and said: "I don't ask much about the company, you have to ask Mr. Li what he is going to do." ”

In my memory, the civil servant who rode a bicycle to the Youth League headquarters to get documents has now become the president of a Chinese company in charge of billions of assets, and Gu Xinyuan said with relief: "Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xiao Li, you are now a big man. Good job, didn't disgrace our second group. ”

"What big shot?" Li Xiaoshan said with a smile: "Political commissar, I will always be a soldier in front of you." ”

Chen Zhenghuai, who came with them, beckoned Hu Meiqi to sit down, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshan and Xiaohu are very capable, such a big mess is all under the care of the two people, if they didn't stand up, San'er and Ah Wei would definitely be busier than now." ”

"It's no wonder that such a big company isn't busy." Having visited NB Industrial Park in the morning, Wang Yuanzheng was deeply impressed.

"That is, this year, after the adjustment, everything is on the right track, and it is not as busy as it is now."

Thinking of their so many businesses and investments, not only across industries, but also across countries, Gu Xinyuan couldn't help but ask: "It's a laboratory again, an airline, a smart factory, and a TV station, are you still an electrical company?" ”

This question is really difficult to explain, Li Xiaoshan muttered: "On the surface, the group's investment is a bit disorganized, but in fact it is in the same vein. Focus on power technology and its services. The goal of being the best electrical company has never changed. It's just that our core business has entered a bottleneck. It must be driven by diversified development. ”

Gu Xinyuan was confused: "What do you mean?" ”

"It is more and more difficult for us to do power equipment business, all leaders know that power is a special industry, we drive industrial appliances through the switch panel, and then drive the high and low voltage switchgear through industrial appliances, and then on the power transformer. But except for the switch panel, the market share of other businesses is very low, and no matter how hard we try. This problem cannot be solved in a short period of time. ”

Wang Yuanzheng frowned: "Don't let you enter the net?" ”

"This problem may be encountered at home, but it does not exist abroad. The main reason is our own, one is technical, the second is not enough safe operation performance, and the third is that the company has only been established for a few years and has no brand influence. As for the fact that there is more business, it is also for the sake of the whole.

The political commissar just mentioned that the smart factory is actually an industrial control product test project, and industrial control is an indispensable part of the secondary power equipment. For example, 35 kV dry-type transformers, their safe operation and service life. A lot depends on the reliability of the winding insulation. The winding temperature exceeds the insulation withstand temperature, which is one of the reasons why the transformer cannot operate normally.

This requires a temperature measurement and control system. Infrared temperature sensor and thermal resistance are used to sample the temperature and core of the winding, and the voltage transformer and current transmitter are used to sample the voltage and current of the winding on the low voltage side, and then the sampling data is processed by PLC, that is, the programmable controller.

At the same time, according to the need, with the single-phase thyristor controller, the winding temperature can be adjusted by controlling the fan equipped with the transformer. In addition, the sampling signal should be displayed with a human-machine interface, and the operation status of the transformer should be monitored, alarmed and multi-point communicated. ”

As soon as he heard that it relied on technology, Wang Yuanzheng asked in surprise: "So advanced?" ”

"This is not advanced," Li Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "But it can be seen from this how important secondary equipment is." ”

Interlaced like a mountain, how can people understand these, Hu Meiqi hurriedly explained: "Master Wang, Director Gu, primary equipment refers to the equipment that directly undertakes the functions of power generation, transmission, distribution, and electricity, such as generators, transformers, disconnectors, circuit breakers and transformers, with low technical content, many domestic and foreign manufacturers, and fierce competition.

Secondary equipment refers to all kinds of equipment required for the normal operation of primary equipment and the realization of electricity management goals, such as generator set protection and dispatching automation system. Xiaoshan just said that the simplest application is used in a single transformer, and if you want to really gain a foothold in this industry, you must make a big system. ”

Chen Zhenghuai asked puzzledly: "Didn't Kuwait do a set?" ”

"It's a set, but it's not mature enough."

Li Xiaoshan took over the conversation and patiently explained: "The hardware is not mature, and the software is not mature, so dozens of automation engineers are stationed in Kuwait for sampling and testing. A system like this, especially programmable control software, requires at least thousands of tests. Smart factories are used a lot, and we can get a lot of data in use and optimize it until we can make sure that it is foolproof before it is brought to market. ”

"Is it difficult to build that smart factory?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, I don't understand, but I heard the engineer in the experimental workshop say that it's a little easier than participating in the college student robot competition. It's just that for cost considerations, general enterprises don't use it. ”

"If it can't be done, will the color TV still be produced?"

"We are worried about this, so we have made two preparations, the personnel are being trained, and they can go up to operate at any time, regardless of whether the automation line can be carried out or not, it will not affect the production by the end of the year. In addition, our training is multifaceted, NB electronics do not need to go to NB electrical sets, NB electrical sets do not need to go to NB electrical appliances. ”

Li Xiaoshan took a sip of tea, and then said: "Meiqi just said that there are many equipment manufacturers and fierce competition, but it does not mean that there is no future for equipment once. Cost control, ensuring quality, and expanding the market are one thing, and at the same time, we must do it upward. Do what your peers don't have, and what your peers can't do. For example, UHV, ultra-high voltage, that's why the charter went to the USSR. ”

"Soviet technology is more advanced than Germany?"

"It cannot be said that German technology is not as advanced as the Soviet Union, it can only be said that Germany does not have this demand, and it will not spend huge sums of money on research on UHV and ultra-high pressure technology."

Hu Meiqi added: "The Soviet Union is a big country. The power infrastructure is not perfect. Under tremendous electrical pressure. Ultra-high voltage and ultra-high pressure techniques must be developed. Therefore, the first 1150 kV line in the world was built, from Ekibastuz to Kokchitaaf, with a total length of several hundred kilometers, and has been running under load for more than 20,000 hours at the rated working voltage so far. Last year, 1,500 kV UHV transmission was adopted, setting a record for UHV transmission. ”

Knowing that the kid wouldn't really go to do any academic exchanges, Chen Zhenghuai was happy: "Can he bring the technique back?" ”

Li Xiaoshan and his wife glanced at each other, and said casually: "The Soviet Union has no money, and life is very difficult. According to European colleagues, the Soviet government, without the consent of the depositors, withdrew the foreign exchange deposits of units and citizens in foreign economic banks. Many steamers were detained in foreign ports because of arrears in payment and berthing fees, and Soviet experts abroad were stranded abroad because the government could not afford to pay them for their journey.

If you can't even open the pot, who cares about the technique? What's more, their technology is not only immature, but also a seller's market like nuclear power, and many countries do not have this demand, and they can't transfer it for a while. ”

Gu Xinyuan asked with interest: "How much money does San'er plan to make?" ”

"It depends. After all, the political situation in the Soviet Union is changing so fast that no one knows what will happen tomorrow. ”

Li Xiaoshan took out a cigarette. One of them scattered, and after lighting it, he continued: "In addition to this, we also need Soviet hydropower technology. And even if it can be successfully introduced, it will take a while to digest. Primary equipment takes time, and secondary equipment is not mature enough, so it will take at least three to four years for the power generation, transmission and distribution business to develop.

Of course, it is not about doing nothing during this period. Not long ago, we won the bid for a 15-year electricity concession for the city of Leipzig, and we will continue to invest in the transformation of the power grid. At the same time, to expand the clean energy business in developed countries in Europe, it should be able to sign investment or general contracting contracts for three waste incineration power plants by the end of the year, and the chairman of the board of directors went to Namibia this time to do performance. ”

"Investing in Namibia?"

"Namibia has a stable political situation and a special relationship with Germany, where tens of thousands of Germans live and work, and has received significant German aid every year since independence. NB Industries needs performance for power generation equipment, so we want to invest in building a thermal power plant there. ”

I don't know how to ask, I was shocked when I asked, I have invested so much abroad, and I have to continue to invest, Wang Yuanzheng asked worriedly: "How much money does this cost?" ”

Li Xiaoshan smiled and said lightly: "My own funds are definitely not enough, and I need a loan." Leaders may not be very clear, we have always been in debt management, so the pressure up and down is relatively large. ”

"Then you still invest so much money in the laboratory."

"We invest a lot in the laboratory, but it is necessary."

Li Xiaoshan knocked on the cigarette ash and said step by step: "Looking back, it is precisely because the NB laboratory discovered the 'giant magnetoresistance effect' and has a certain reputation in the international academic community that the charter can be invited to the East German Academy of Sciences for exchanges, and there is now the Berlin NB Laboratory." It was precisely because of the discovery of 'carbon nanotubes' in the NB laboratory that he was invited by the Leningrad University of the Soviet Union and had the opportunity to make friends with Soviet scientists.

It can be said that NB Lab can not only advertise for us, but also be a stepping stone to invincibility. You may ask, why is it not the same as before, so much money has to be invested in cooperating with the Hong Kong government? This is because in addition to the primary and secondary equipment just mentioned, we have to take into account the development of the next ten or even twenty years.

After all, no matter how well you do it in front, you are also chasing international counterparts. But we must not only chase, but also surpass. The next forward-looking research requires manpower and financial resources that we cannot afford at NB Electric, so we must pull foreign aid. ”

How much money does 863 plan invest?

Thinking of the state's funding for scientific research and the real reason for his own promotion, Wang Yuanzheng couldn't help but sigh: "Your company knows that Ludao invests in research and development and new technology, and even considers it more than ten or twenty years later. And we, from top to bottom, do not do our jobs, open companies, do business, and wear military uniforms to buy and sell, which is a shame for the army! ”

In this period of historical change in the great turn of economic development, the central authorities have proposed that the building of the armed forces must be subordinated to the overall situation. As a concrete manifestation of obedience, military spending has dropped sharply, and its share of fiscal revenue has been repeatedly reduced. It was reduced from 10% to 8% and then to 6%.

And the spring breeze of reform and opening up not only woke up the localities, but also stimulated the army. For a while, the entire army was immersed in the sea of commerce. The central authorities have even expressed support for the military to run its own enterprises in order to solve the difficulties of tight finances and insufficient military spending, and has put forward the requirements of "self-improvement, self-development, and self-restraint."

Reasonable and legal, reasonable and unlawful, both unreasonable and illegal, as long as it is profitable, someone will do it.

Thinking that the army also contracted the outpatient department of the military hospital to private management, and let unscrupulous businessmen make false propaganda in the name of the army and harm the people, Gu Xinyuan sighed secretly and said helplessly: "It's better that we are stationed in inland provinces, but I have seen it in the south this time, and the 'Bayi' gas station, 'Bayi Hotel', 'Bayi paging station', and 'Bayi bar' can be seen everywhere, what kind of self-development is this?" ”

The two active-duty officers complained, Li Xiaoshan really didn't know how to interface with the road, so he could only smile and say: "People not only have a mouth, but also two hands, engage in civilian products, engage in military trade, this is also to carry forward the spirit of Nanniwan." ”

"Mess around!"

Wang Yuanzheng glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "This kind of military business is not something that the army led by our GCD does, only the GMD warlords can do it." Enthusiasm for business inevitably leads to corruption. You are a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, don't pretend to be confused, don't say anything, just where did all those cars with military plates on the street come from? ”

License plates can be exchanged for bundles of banknotes as soon as they change hands, and there is no cost to the troops, except that it takes time to apply. At first, the traffic police were in charge, and later they simply rented out the soldiers together, which was in response to the sentence of "escorting" reform and opening up.

This is not bad, but even worse, they smuggled cars into the country one after another.

Chen Zhenghuai realized that there was a reason for the incident, otherwise he would never have complained like this, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Wang, did you encounter any trouble at work?" ”

"How did I come to be the acting teacher?" Wang Yuanzheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In order to protect their company's oil products, the next regiment confronted the customs smugglers with guns, and made trouble all the way to the State Council and the Central Y Military Commission, and my predecessor stepped down because of this matter." ”

"What does this have to do with you?"

"There are several companies in the division, one member of the division Standing Committee, so many family members point to the company for dinner, and they can't be disbanded, and sooner or later there will be problems if they are allowed to continue, do you think I'm troublesome?" (To be continued......)
