Reborn as a New Farmer of the 1980s

Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 1860: Remember Mr. Wan's famous words

"Grandpa! You know how I fooled the Russians in Heihe. I got those trucks in exchange for wine and canned goods. It didn't cost much. I just bought them for fun. Our country won't allow it. If they allow it, I'll get some tanks and warships in exchange for fun."

"I hear you're talking nonsense! But your idea is good. I'll consider it. I'll go back and try to get you a spot on the vehicle."

"Grandpa, you better fight for this. If the higher-ups don't approve, you have to praise me more."

"Praise you? Praise you for what?"

"A lot! I've made huge contributions to our country's national defense, from steel to tanks, airplanes, engines, and submarines. And without my involvement, you'd have to wait at least five more years to get the Su-27. If I hadn't been involved in the military vehicle this time, it would have greatly dampened my enthusiasm for contributing to our country's defense. If you need anything else in the future, go find whoever you want."

Zhu Guoxiong laughed. This brat actually dared to threaten the military.

"Show me those big centipede cars of yours."

"You want to see those trucks with a row of wheels? They're gone. They've all been dismantled because they took up too much space. The steel was then recycled. Now the only ones left are the four-axle ones."

Those trucks with seven or eight axles really took up too much space, so after the technical preparation was completed, they were dismantled into steel materials.

"What a waste of money! You can just dismantle an entire vehicle? Then what do you use to make a big truck?"

"We've done all the analysis and are preparing for the technology. We've also corrected all the flaws of the Russians' bulky, black, and clunky vehicles. Seriously, we guarantee our vehicles will outperform the Russians in hauling more, running faster, and using more fuel. So, why would I keep all those big guys?"

Zhu Guoxiong believed this.

"Are you satisfied with the students that Old Tang brought back?" The students led by Tang Ming have returned to the army, and now it's time for them to play a role.

"Not bad. Those people are now training new people. Many of the electronic components you process are designed by them."

Those people sent by the military are real talents. Wan Feng can only envy and hate them.

He really wanted to ask Zhu Guoxiong for some, but he couldn't get it even if he asked, so he was smart enough not to ask.

The heroes of various countries came and went in a hurry, and they went through wind and rain like this.

After seeing Zhu Guoxiong off, it was the 25th, and the annual Nanwan Group's year-end summary meeting was also held.

This year's annual meeting has many more entertainment elements, including professional hosts and cultural programs.

All of this was orchestrated by Zhou Liming, who wanted to turn the annual meeting into an evening party.

He invited more than ten girls from the paging station and selected more than ten girls from the factory to form a performance team, interspersed with cultural and artistic performances.

Wan Feng strongly suspected that Zhou Liming asked Zhang Juan to run to Nanwan to make an appearance. As to whether he wanted to show off his intention of getting the beauty, it remains to be verified.

People who have a beautiful wife try to hide her at home, for fear that others will see her and miss her.

This guy is so good, he is afraid that others won’t know and show it. Isn’t he afraid of a third party interfering?

With the cultural and artistic performances, people who used to sit on the podium can only sit in the audience.

Wan Feng was not at home and did not attend last year's annual meeting.

This year, of course, I have to sit in the middle seat at home, with Zhu Yong, Chen Dao, Li Da, Wen Guanghua, Yimeng and others on my left and right, and of course foreigners, Curiet Maxime and others, and this year there is also Asada Nobuyuki.

Of course, they are special guests and have nothing to do with the prize money.

Their wages are already more than ten times higher than those of local Chinese people, so they have no chance of getting bonuses or anything like that. If they win another award, the Chinese employees are bound to complain.

But not everyone has a broad mind.

This clause was included when I signed the employment contracts with these foreigners.

As usual, we will start with the New Style Award.

This is the fourth consecutive year that South Bay Group has presented the New Wind Award.

When Wan Feng set up this award, he intended to keep it forever.

Since no one is willing to listen to ideological education now, using material rewards to promote this spirit is also a good strategy.

The list of winners is getting longer every year. This year, for the first time in history, the number of people who won various New Wind Awards exceeded one hundred. Among them are those who have been helping others for many years and those who have joined the team. These people received bonuses ranging from one thousand to two thousand yuan.

The original bonus was 500 yuan, but Wan Feng adjusted it to 1,000 yuan. Although the highest bonus did not change, the lowest bonus increased, which was a disguised increase in the amount of the bonus.

He plans to increase the maximum bonus amount again next year.

Even if there are a thousand winners, the total amount would only be three or two hundred thousand, so it feels like a good deal.

This year, the winners were presented with awards by people from the Public Relations Department, led by Zhou Liming.

Wan Feng will not present the awards because there are too many people. If he goes up to present the awards one by one, it will be dark by the time he finishes.

After the New Wind Award ceremony, the performance team created by Zhang Juan went on stage to perform a dance. After the dance, Zhou Liming began to announce the winners of the next award.

The new style will be followed by the Advanced Worker Award.

This award is basically equivalent to selecting the model workers of Nanwan Factory.

There are still differences between people. Some are good-looking and some are ugly, some are smart and some are stupid.

If the scientific research award is for smart people, this advanced worker award is for those who are not smart but work diligently.

There are many such people in every workshop. As long as you are down-to-earth, diligent, abide by the factory's rules and regulations, and have no bad deeds, then there is almost no suspense in winning this award.

Hundreds of people from various departments from mechanics to electronics have received this award.

Zhu Yong brought people from the logistics department to the stage and awarded each of these model workers a bonus of 2,000 yuan.

Next is the Scientific Research Encouragement Award, which has also changed. It has mainly become an award for ordinary workers in the workshop who make innovations.

No matter who you are, even if you are a yard sweeper or a boiler stoker, as long as your innovation is considered valuable by the company, you will be rewarded.

Rewards are also divided according to value, ranging from 500 to 5,000 yuan for individuals, and from 20,000 to 50,000 yuan for groups.

This award has been warmly welcomed by ambitious young people in the enterprise since the reform. It is said that many people in the workshop just mess around when they have nothing to do.

They follow the boss's famous saying that it's better to criticize than to criticize, and dare to try their hand at everything.

Wan Feng felt exhausted after hearing this.

Will this create a bunch of prodigals?

There were about fifty or sixty prodigals in this group. When they heard their names, they walked onto the stage with great joy and a cheerful smile.

People from Chen Daoli Da's production department awarded these people bonuses and certificates.

Next is the awarding of the third and second prizes in science and technology.

Finally, it was the first prize’s turn.
