The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 290 Lao Chang wants to quit

This weekend, Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin took their children to Lao Chang's house.

Although Lao Chang seemed to be in good spirits, the attentive Yan Jiecheng still found that Lao Chang couldn't hide his fatigue.

A few people talked in the living room for a while, and then Yan Jiecheng and Lao Chang came to the study.

Chang Kexin brought tea to the two of them and closed the door.

Lao Chang looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "I haven't spoken for you in these years. Have you ever blamed me?"

Yan Jiecheng said quickly: "Dad, why do you think so? You know me, I have never been ambitious and don't care about promotion.

Over the years, I have gotten to this point by accident, and I already feel panicked and uneasy. "

When Lao Chang heard what Yan Jiecheng said, he smiled and nodded.

Said: "You, this can be regarded as being strong without desire. There is no greed in my heart, and I am sincere in everything. On the contrary, I am much faster than others."

Then, Lao Chang sighed slightly.

Said: "I am planning to apply for retirement at the end of the year."

Yan Jiecheng was not surprised when he heard about it.After all, starting from this year, many veteran cadres have been called on to retire.

Yan Jiecheng knows that this is the inevitable development of history. Lao Chang chose to quit this year, which can be regarded as a rapid retreat.

Besides, he is not young after all.We can't win those positions, so we might as well retreat now.

The old man saw Yan Jiecheng with a look of understanding, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

He did not expect that the young man brought by Luo Gong would come to have a blind date with his daughter.At first, it was just because of Luo Lao's face that I had the mentality of giving it a try.

Later, I saw that my daughter liked it, so I didn’t say anything more.Thinking about your daughter, it would be great to marry someone you like.

But he never expected that his son-in-law's development and achievements over the years would far exceed his expectations.

After that, the two talked for a while.

Lao Chang is not retiring directly. He is going to the Consultative Conference to make a transition. When he retires, his salary will be increased by half a level.

For Lao Chang, I have no regrets about leaving at this time.

Anyway, the second generation of the family has all grown up, and son-in-law Yan Jiecheng has established a firm foothold on the railway.

The eldest son's express delivery business is developing in full swing, and his position is very stable.

Besides, as long as he doesn't die.The influence of their Chang family will not have a big impact.

Today he asked Yan Jiecheng to come here just to say hello to Yan Jiecheng in advance.

In fact, Lao Chang has been feeling a little overwhelmed at work recently. Facing increasingly complex tasks, his energy is getting weaker and weaker.

In the past two years, a large number of young people have returned to the city, resulting in a large number of unemployed people staying in the city. Because productivity cannot keep up, prices this year are completely unstable.

Commodity prices rose by 6%, with urban prices rising by 8.1% and rural areas rising by 4.4%.This has led to the deterioration of urban social security conditions.

The social crime rate is almost as high as when the People's Republic of China was first founded 50 years ago.

Faced with this new situation, he felt that his old thinking could no longer handle it, so he also had the intention of abdicating his position and giving way to others.

After all, their generation has struggled all their lives. When choosing between their family and their country, many people will choose the country without any regard.

Of course, Lao Chang would not tell Yan Jiecheng about these reasons.After all, everyone wants to save face, and you can't tell your son-in-law that times have changed and he can't do it anymore.

How embarrassing that is.

Yan Jiecheng and his family had lunch at Lao Chang's house and then went back.

These days at home, the third aunt has been complaining that the prices of things are always rising, and money is becoming less and less easy to spend.

Yan Jiecheng and the others just listened. Regarding the third aunt, they didn't gossip, they just talked about it. This is how ordinary people live their lives.

When Yan Jiecheng went to Huaqing University to give a public course, he did not have the doubts he expected from the students who had high aspirations.

Although the proud students of Huaqing University are arrogant, they are not fools.

Most of them have taken the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line in person. Because they have knowledge, they know how difficult it is to do this.

Therefore, I can only admire people like Yan Jiecheng and do not dare to look down upon them.

They do not fully agree with Yan Jiecheng's statement that Huaxia Future is an infrastructure maniac.

According to Yan Jiecheng, the foundation of the infrastructure craze is the result of the great development of the domestic economy and the prosperity of the economic market.

But many of them are not as optimistic as Yan Jiecheng about the development of the domestic market economy.

So at this point, they are actually skeptical about Yan Jiecheng's view.

Of course, everyone still agrees with Yan Jiecheng's other views.

As Yan Jiecheng said, China's engineering community will become the best engineering community in the world.

Yan Jiecheng believes that we have a vast territory and a complex and diverse natural environment, which must have created rich experience for Chinese engineers.

Just as Yan Jiecheng finished speaking.

When it came to the free question period, a boy wearing round glasses stood up and asked: "Professor Yan, what do you think of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line you built compared with the Shinkansen in Xiaoli? For the future of the two, What do you think about development?”

Yan Jiecheng glanced at the student who asked the question.

He smiled and said: "This is a very good question, you have obviously thought about it yourself.

I can tell you clearly that the current technical level of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line is not as good as the Xiaori Shinkansen. "

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, some students in the audience nodded in understanding.Some students also looked disappointed.

When Yan Jiecheng saw this scene, he didn't say much. He just smiled and continued:

“However, in the future, the development of China’s high-speed rail will definitely far exceed that of the Shinkansen.

Whether in terms of technology or scale, China's high-speed rail will become a unique miracle in the world. "

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, not only the students expressed doubts, but also the professors and experts sitting in the audience were shocked.

Some professors have participated in the construction of the Beijing subway.I couldn't help but said to a colleague on the side: "This Yan Dapao started bragging again."

Yan Jiecheng looked at the crowd below and said, "You may have a lot of doubts about my statement, or even be dismissive."

Yan Jiecheng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Then he said: "You may ask me, why, why will the China High-speed Railway become a unique existence in the world?"

The students below heard what Yan Jiecheng said and nodded involuntarily.

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "The reason why I put forward this point of view is based on the following three reasons.

The first is the vast land area of ​​our country. Whether it is from the perspective of people's travel, economic exchanges, commodity flows, or national defense and military, we must have a fast and effective transportation method.

We know that Westerners, especially Yingjiang, are vigorously developing air transportation and highways to solve this problem.

But can we?

Our population size is just to develop air transportation and highways, which is even more impossible for us.

You must know that the current number of cars owned by households in China is 0.8. The number of cars currently on the market basically belongs to various units and factories.

The automobile industry in our country can only be said to be a child that has not yet grown up.

The second one is the population I mentioned.

Our country has the largest population in the world. Judging from the current level of technological development, there is no other good way to solve large-scale population transportation except railways.

Everyone should know that with the in-depth development of market economy.A large number of rural people will be freed from the shackles of land and participate in urban construction.

With a large number of people moving out, one can imagine the pressure on transportation.

Please don’t think that I’m here to talk nonsense and have an invincible target.You must know that with the establishment of my country's four major special economic zones.Already millions of people have flocked to this place.

In the future, with the continued development of economic construction, the floating population will become a pain point in my country's transportation.

Therefore, it is an inevitable choice for us to develop China-Xiamen high-speed rail.

The third reason is why we choose high-speed rail?In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there is another very real and objective problem, and that is technology.

At present, whether it is the manufacturing of large aircraft or the automobile industry, we are far behind the world's advanced level.

If we develop air transport or highways.This requires a huge amount of foreign exchange to import these aircraft and cars.

And foreign exchange is crucial to our current development.It is impossible for us to spend this foreign exchange in these places.Therefore, developing high-speed rail will be our best and only choice.

Everyone should know that the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line.But it was designed and built by the High-Speed ​​Railway Research Institute under independent research and development.

Next, the country must solve the travel problem.A large amount of manpower and material resources will inevitably be invested in high-speed rail research, which will completely liberate the productivity of high-speed rail research, and the development of China's high-speed rail will certainly be boosted.

As high-speed rail technology matures, when the economy develops to a certain level, high-speed rail will inevitably be built on a large scale.

In this way, both in terms of scale and technological upgrading, China's high-speed railway will surely be at the forefront of the world.

In today's small days, their current Shinkansen technology will definitely not change much in ten years.

Because they have no real need for this kind of technology upgrade.

Just like when students go back to the classroom and back to the dormitory, a bicycle is enough and it is fast enough.

is not it?
The same is true for the small days. Their current Shinkansen technology has fully met their domestic needs.

Then, the amount of money that must be invested here will be reduced.

That's what I'm saying, they're going to stay put.The reason why we are bound to grow by leaps and bounds. "

Yan Jiecheng said, and the audience burst into warm applause.

Although, they think there is a huge bug in Yan Jiecheng's remarks.That is the great development of the domestic economy and the great success of market economic reform.

Although many people are pessimistic about the development of the domestic economy.I feel that even if the country is given 100 years, it will not be able to catch up with Ying Jiang and Xin Xiaoli.

However, as Chinese people, they naturally have their own pride.

Yan Jiecheng's impassioned speech also inspired a little bit of national sentiment in their hearts.

Although, maybe these people will cross the ocean tomorrow.

Go to Yingjiang Country to paint your brand and feel the sweet air of freedom.It doesn't affect how red their hands are today.

Of course, a small number of them, after listening to Yan Jiecheng's lecture, felt that there was much to be done in China.

Confidence in the development of domestic economic construction has also been regained.

More people's blood boiled when they listened.After it was over, I thought that I still need to find a way as soon as possible to wash the dishes over there.

After the open class, Director Jiang from the Department of Civil Engineering said to Yan Jiecheng: "You, your temper has not changed at all over the years.

At that time, we were fooled by a group of old men, saying that we would build a Wanli subway in the future.Now, here we are again fooling young people.

Let me tell you, we should keep our feet on the ground and not fool young people into lameness. "

This general director was an expert in the construction of the Beijing subway and was an old acquaintance of Yan Jiecheng.

So when the two people were talking, they mercilessly exposed Yan Jiecheng's secrets.

Although Yan Jiecheng was not angry in his heart, he was not forgiving on his lips.

He smiled and said: "Well, Old Man Jiang. If I were you, I would exercise early and try to live a few more years.

Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see this prosperous age I’m talking about. "

Director Jiang: "You are still so powerful with your mouth, you don't know how to give in to the old man."

After finishing speaking, he whispered to Yan Jiecheng: "Do you really think our market reform will be successful? I think your speech today is conclusive. Do you have any inside information?"

Yan Jiecheng glanced at the old man.Said: “I don’t have any inside information.

But I am full of confidence in the reform of our market economy.

I believe that as long as all of us don’t run away or wait and see.If we do everything we do, our development will be no worse than anyone else's.

Do you think this is true? "

When Old Man Jiang heard what Yan Jiecheng said, he nodded without making any further comments.

Instead, he turned around and asked: "You see, the students like you very much. Can you spare some time and teach more classes for everyone? It is best to be responsible for one course."

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Lao Jiangtou, heheed a few words, and said: "It's not like you don't know, I'm so busy running around all day now, how can I still have time to go to class?

At Jiaotong University, my original railway engineering courses were suspended. "

Yan Jiecheng didn't lie to him. During this period, their General Engineering Office had formulated a plan for the renovation and upgrading of old lines across the country.

The selection and deployment of technical personnel for these renovation projects and the review of upgrade plans need to be handled by their general engineering office.Now, this work is gradually getting on the right track.

Yan Jiecheng then started to renovate and upgrade the supporting manufacturers under the ministry.

The production equipment and technology of those factories in the past can no longer keep up with the needs of development.

Just like there is an equipment factory in the Northeast, the fishtail version currently produced is still 38 and 43.

Yan Jiecheng saw the report at that time.He was so angry that he threw the report document to the ground.

Currently, railway equipment is being upgraded in China, and I don’t know how many fishplates of 38 and 43 have been removed.

Many have been refurbished.

This factory actually covered its head and ignored it, not even looking at what was going on outside.Still producing these things day and night.

Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he directly criticized the factory's management unit, a leader of the Harbin Bureau, over the phone.

In fact, Yan Jiecheng knows that many factories down there are in this state.

Anyway, they are not afraid of losing their jobs. They all have iron rice bowls. The worst they can do is to let the big brother, the worker, work harder and eat less.

Workers, hey, this is nothing to them, the factory will never be in trouble.

It’s still time to eat, drink, and fetch things.

But if this continues, the equipment upgrading and renovation work will come to a halt sooner or later.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng decided to reform these factory leaders. Those who are not enterprising and incompetent should just go and stay elsewhere.

Of course, these tasks were not initiated by the General Engineering Office.It is a collective decision of the ministry, with their chief engineering office taking the lead. After all, this time it mainly involves product upgrading and transformation.

Upgrading equipment and products is the focus of their next work.

Yan Jiecheng is also helpless, if the products of these factories do not have upgraded characters.Sooner or later it will be eliminated.

Once eliminated, domestic railway construction will need to be purchased from abroad in the future, and the cost will be huge.

So Yan Jiecheng had to personally take charge of this work.

Yan Jiecheng feels that as a chief engineer, his current job is a bit heavy.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng complained a few times to several other leaders at the meeting, and then the work was shared among everyone.

Yan Jiecheng is responsible for inspecting factories in Northeast and North China and guiding product upgrades.

Today, Yan Jiecheng was in the office, looking at a pile of documents on the table.

He casually opened one copy and prepared to review it. However, after reviewing two copies, he found that the document was still not summarized and prioritized as before, and he felt unhappy.

Call his secretary Wang Yanhui over. This guy asked him to go to Chen Hanliang to learn from Chen Hanliang last time. As a result, after so many days, he made no progress at all.

Looking at Wang Yanhui in front of him, Yan Jiecheng said: "Xiao Wang. How have you been doing at work during this time? Are you doing well at work? Is it hard?"

Wang Yanhui saw that Yan Jiecheng was looking for her and was so concerned, so she quickly said: "Thank you for your concern, leader. I have done a good job during this period, and it is not hard at all."

Yan Jiecheng felt unhappy, you didn't work hard, it was all my fault.

Nodding, Yan Jiecheng said: "Well, Secretary Wang, you have done well during this period, and I can see it."

Yan Jiecheng took a sip of water and continued: "Recently, the railway has been connected to Kaka Town in the Western Region. There is a station there, which is very important. However, a suitable stationmaster can't be found for a while. Do you have any ideas?"

Wang Yanhui was stunned when he heard Yan Jiecheng's words.Listening to the leader's tone, he wants to completely distribute himself.

He didn't know what he did wrong.But right now, I'm not concerned about what went wrong.

He said it as soon as last year. : “Boss, I have two children at home and my parents are old. It’s not convenient for me to go to other places to work.

I still hope to stay with you and learn. "

Yan Jiecheng felt helpless after hearing this.He teaches so many students, but he can't teach this one.

Wang Yanhui is not only a stupid person, he is also a bit lazy in nature.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng felt that the position of stationmaster of Kaka Town Railway Station in the Western Region was very suitable for him.You must know that the annual passenger flow of this station will not exceed 1000 people, which is very suitable for people like Wang Yanhui to retire.
