Looking at a pair of children, the son has a successful career and the daughter is still doing well in her studies, which is undoubtedly the happiest thing.

So the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was lively, and the old couple who lived in a spacious house and watched color TV for the first time were naturally satisfied.

Of course, the arrangement to go to Qiongzhou Island in a few days was passed "without objection", and in the next few days, Zhong Bai seized the time and came to the door to pay homage to several leaders who lived in Tiandu - Fu Chongshan, Lu Xudong and Liu Zhengfu, needless to say, he did not forget to bring his retired old leader Sun Guangshi at the beginning.

Last year, except for meeting Sun Guangshi before discussing the DWX hydraulic strut plan, Zhong Bai almost never met him after that, but the retired Director Sun was not less enthusiastic about Zhong Bai at the beginning, and he was stunned to leave him to eat dumplings at home.

After eating, the two naturally chatted about Zhong Bai's current work.

"Xiao Zhong, your progress in the past year is really impressive!" Sun Guangshi sighed: "Originally, I thought that when you arrived in Tiandu, it would take at least two or three years for you to adapt to the life of the provincial department, but I didn't expect that it only took half a year for you to make such a big move in the capital, and now I am afraid that there will be rumors in the ministry that you will be promoted, right?" ”

Uncle Sun praised it. I didn't take the initiative to ask for a promotion or something, and I didn't inquire about it, so I don't know very well. Zhong Bai replied modestly: "Things can be done, what do you care about, I just want to do a good job of the rare earth work I am currently responsible for." ”

"Working with rare earths, it's not a trivial matter. I also heard about the specific affairs you were involved in before through the newspapers and the connections in the hall, and that was a great achievement! Sun Guangshi's praise obviously came from the bottom of his heart: "This piece, don't say that our Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, that is, the Ministry of Industry, there was no decent department to grasp it before, it belongs to the field of 'few no care', to put it mildly, that is, let it grow savagely, except for the planning commissions and economic and trade departments at all levels to keep an eye on the foreign exchange earned, there is no plan for this industry!" ”

"I guess, this time to get the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, I'm afraid it's also your kid's idea, huh?" Sun Guangshi looked at Zhong Bai and asked meaningfully.

"Sort of. But the process of its real establishment has gone through a lot of twists and turns......"

Zhong Bai briefly told Sun Guangshi about his strong academician Xu Guangxian, and then through the vice president of Jingcheng University, and visited several ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Industry, and the other party nodded again and again, with a look of surprise on his face.

Sun Guangshi nodded slightly and said, "It seems that I really guessed." However, your previous work had nothing to do with rare earths, so why did you suddenly have such a comprehensive plan? And deliberately chose the location of the policy implementation in the Baiyun Obo mining area? Isn't that a little too much of a hurry? In fact, there are also a lot of complex rare earth mines in the southwest, and if you want to carry out policy pilots, it should be more appropriate to go there first! ”

"The scale is too small, the rare earth ore type is single, not as good as the Baiyun Obo mining area, after all, the Baiyun Obo mining area is a behemoth dipped in more than 70% of China's comprehensive rare earth reserves, since you want to carry out reforms, it is better to go directly to the most important place in one step." Zhong Bai responded lightly: "You may not be very clear about the situation of the international rare earth market when you retire in the past two years, it is really changing with each passing day, and time is not waiting!" Not to mention RB, a long-term scientific and technological power, MD, Europe's France, West Germany, etc., are ahead of us in terms of technology. ”

Zhong Bai's ambition has long been incomparable to that of an ordinary twenty-three-year-old young man, and Sun Guangshi knows this best.

Therefore, when these words came out of Zhong Bai's mouth, Sun Guangshi was not surprised, but nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have this sense of mission and crisis, which is a blessing in the hall." Now you may not know that the name of our Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, because of you, is much bigger than before in the national industrial system! ”

"What? And what's going on? Zhong Bai was dumbfounded, he knew that Sun Guangshi never liked to talk big, and when he heard him say this, he was immediately stunned.

"Yes, especially since you're also a member of the National Rare Earth Integrated Coordination Group! Xiao Zhong, don't you know, I have a few retired old friends in the industrial system from other provinces, and occasionally mentioned you on the phone, I told them, you ran to the provincial capital alone and couldn't find the information or I showed you the way, they still don't believe it, haha! Speaking of this, Sun Guangshi's face was full of pride, as if Zhong Bai had been picked up by him.

"That's not it! If you hadn't introduced me to me, I really wouldn't have been able to enter the door of the provincial library! Zhong Bai has never forgotten this kindness, and nodded immediately.

"Well, you are young and promising and not impatient and frivolous, to be honest, you are really a rare talent! I'm retiring early, if I'm still in my previous position, I have to give advice to the leadership team immediately if I say anything, and I will quickly promote you to a deputy department! ”

Seeing that Sun Guangshi became more and more energetic the more he spoke, Zhong Bai hurriedly diverted the topic: "I won't mention that...... By the way, Uncle Sun, I have something I want to trouble you. ”

"You kid, what trouble are you talking to me about? If there's a fart, let it go! Sun Guangshi glared at Zhong Bai and said angrily.

In private, Sun Guangshi and Zhong Bai have no frame at all, and now they have completely surpassed the relationship between their bosses and subordinates, and even faintly have the rhythm of their uncles and nephews, so seeing that Zhong Bai took the initiative to speak, Sun Guangshi went straight to the point without any estrangement.

"That's right, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I plan to go to Qiongzhou Island and take my family on a trip, of course, this is only one aspect." Zhong Bai paused and continued: "In addition, I also want to visit the local industrial leaders in Qiongzhou, I am not very familiar with this part, but because the matter is relatively special, I don't want to trouble Director Lu and them during the Spring Festival vacation...... Do you know an old leader of the industrial industry who has taken a back seat, can you introduce it to me? ”

"On Qiongzhou Island...... ...... who took a back seat Old leader? Wait! Unexpectedly, Zhong Bai came to such a question, Sun Guangshi frowned, stood up and walked towards the study.

A moment later, Sun Guangshi picked up his palm-sized little brown and red notebook and came over.

Different from the address book with a black plastic cover issued in the hall, this small brown and red book is another industrial system address book of Sun Guangshi!

And the official name of this address book is ......

"1982 National Industrial System Deputy Department-level Retired Cadres Directory"!
