Lu Qianxiang chatted with Zhou Jimin in the study room for nearly two hours before leaving with satisfaction.
The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Zhou Jimin went to visit the leaders with gifts.
Leaders are very busy. After all, they are just as busy during the Spring Festival as they are during normal times.
"Hey, it's tiger bone wine again? Jimin, you are serious."
Lao Lin, who has a relatively strong body, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw the gift Zhou Jimin brought, and he said with emotion.
Now more than ten years have passed, and Zhou Jimin is still as young as when he first met. It seems that time has not left any trace on Zhou Jimin's face at all.
Except that Zhou Jimin looks more mature and steady, and his voice is calmer, there really aren't many changes in other aspects.
This made Lao Lin even more emotional.
If Lao Lin hadn't seen Zhou Jimin often and knew the latter's situation very well, he would have suspected that Zhou Jimin had taken the elixir of life.
Otherwise, who else in the world has remained the same for more than ten years with almost no change in appearance?
After all, once a person reaches the age of thirty, aging begins, and it becomes more serious day by day.
In particular, Zhou Jimin is still responsible for scientific research and does not need to be exposed to wind and sun. However, his skin becomes whiter and it is easier for people to see spots on his face.
Even if you can’t see the spots, you can’t hide the vicissitudes of life on your face, right?
However, none of this can be found in Zhou Jimin.
"Leader, as long as you are healthy, it's easy to say anything."
Zhou Jimin said with a smile, and then chatted for a while with Lao Lin, who quickly brought the topic to communication satellites.
If the aerospace project of Oasis New City wants to achieve the strategic goal of the space station, it must solve the connection problem between the space station and the ground.
It is impossible for the space station to fly in space all the time. It cannot be like the current Great Wall 13, which always loses contact during space flight and always lags behind when receiving messages from astronauts.
In space, such a state of losing contact from time to time is very worrying.
Therefore, solving this connection problem has become the most urgent problem in Oasis New City.
"Is it difficult? Can we help in any way?"
Lao Lin was very concerned. Although he was not the leader of Oasis New City, he was very concerned about Zhou Jimin.
In other words, what Lao Lin did to Zhou Jimin was very concerned about scientific research that was helpful to the country.
In the eyes of many leaders of the older generation, the aerospace engineering industry is no longer just a matter for Oasis New City, it is a major event for the entire country.
However, Zhou Jimin overcame all opinions and made Oasis New City independent.
Xincheng has a lot of cooperation with the army and is deeply rooted in the desert of the northwest. At the same time, it is completely led by people like Gu Haishan and others.
To put it simply, Xincheng has a certain right of independent choice in scientific research projects and does not completely obey the leadership from above.
Its uniqueness, independence, advancedness, etc. determine its current special status.
The leaders above are also very happy to see such changes.
With a benchmark like Xincheng, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center has also made rapid progress.
It can be said that with the establishment of the new city, the mainland's aerospace industry has directly risen to the level that it has been for at least thirty years.
"Boss, the above have helped us a lot. Now several universities in the new city can continuously provide tens of thousands of college graduates every year..."
Zhou Jimin heard this and replied realistically.
Since 1969, Xincheng has added two comprehensive universities and one science and engineering university, and currently has a total of six universities.
Originally, the only comprehensive university in the old city was Xincheng University, and there was another medical school. Before 1970, it was also reformed and upgraded to Xincheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In addition to these two universities, there is also Xincheng Medical University, which is more focused on Western medicine and was established by a number of medical device research institutions and Gu Haishan and others.
The current population of the new city has already exceeded one million, and it is not far away from reaching a population of two million.
Therefore, the number of medical schools must also be increased. Otherwise, where will the doctors come from to treat patients?
A good medical system cannot be built in a day. Only with the subsequent addition of new blood can the system develop more soundly.
In addition to these two specialized medical universities, the remaining three universities are Xincheng University of Technology, Northwest University and Xincheng University of Science and Technology.
Judging from the names, it seems that the three universities are all science and engineering universities, but this is not the case. Northwest University is a comprehensive university.
But no matter what, with these six universities, starting from last year and every year thereafter, we can provide a steady stream of fresh blood for the new city.
Of course, whether it is a university of science and engineering or a medical school, for most students, postgraduate studies and direct doctoral studies are the best way out.
On the contrary, if you directly work in an employer after graduating from a bachelor's degree, you will also be required to study for a master's degree and a doctoral degree.
Anyway, without certain academic qualifications, it is difficult to continue to stay in the unit.
Just imagine, in a certain research institution, most of my colleagues are graduate students and Ph.D. students of such and such. As an undergraduate, who wouldn’t worry?
Here in Xincheng, just because you have a job does not mean you will get an iron rice bowl.
Although there is no risk of unemployment for the time being, there is still a risk of being crushed by colleagues in terms of academic qualifications, knowledge and abilities.
Therefore, most undergraduate graduates will still choose to study for graduate school or Ph.D.
What's more, the department boss in the research institute is a walking reference. If you don't take advantage of this time to write more papers, do you have to wait until you are in your fifties or sixties to write them again?
I am originally engaged in scientific research, so it is so easy to write a paper.
Where do the students from the six universities in Xincheng come from?
Naturally, they are selected from outstanding high school graduates from all over the country.
If these middle school graduates have very good grades, they will take the entrance qualification examination here in Xincheng.
They all received these test papers uniformly and took the exams uniformly.
They are divided into different grades and are admitted to three places: new city, small town and army.
There is no doubt that Xincheng has more advantages.
Although New Town has not been promoted in many places in the mainland, as a large city with a population of one million in the mainland, its presence has not been low in recent years.
Many official media, such as Workers' Daily, Farmers' Daily, Youth Daily, Women's Daily, Science and Technology Illustrated, etc., report a lot about aerospace engineering.
There are also many internal reports, and many cadres are very happy to let their children study here in Xincheng.
Of course, this does not mean that ordinary people cannot go to Xincheng to study at university.
A few years ago, Zhou Jimin went to the area near Wolong Village and saw many young people going to the countryside.
Among them were He Yunlan and the others, five young people who went to the countryside. At that time, Zhou Jimin made an agreement with the five of them. Three years later, if He Yunlan and the others passed the exam, he would take them back to the new city.
Later, four of them passed the exam, and Zhou Jimin really took them back to the new city as agreed.
In addition to these young people who went to the countryside, Zhou Jimin also visited many rural areas and discovered many hard-working and diligent geniuses.
They also brought these children back to the new city.
Of course, this is not a way.
The more stable way is to study step by step from those remote villages, enter middle school, and then take the exam to change your destiny.
The country will eventually get better and better and become more developed.
When Zhou Jimin chatted with Lao Lin, he never talked about policies and other issues, but only talked about practical and concrete matters.
Xincheng's communication satellite project is a scientific research work. Where the leaders above can help, they have done their best.
The rest can only rely on Xincheng itself.
As the leader of aerospace engineering, Zhou Jimin has no shirk of responsibility.
In the past one or two years, Xincheng's aerospace industry has slowed down a lot.
But next, especially this year, once six communication satellites are launched directly into polar orbits and a new communication method is successfully established, the countdown to the launch of the space station will soon begin.
I chatted with Lao Lin for a long time, and by the time Zhou Jimin left, half the morning had already passed.
In the following time, Zhou Jimin went to visit other leaders who were free.
In fact, it is not that the leaders are idle, but that the leaders deliberately took time to meet with Zhou Jimin.
When the latter comes to visit the leader, it is definitely not just a visit, but more of a chat about work matters.
After staying in the capital for five days, Zhou Jimin and his family returned to Oasis New City.
After returning to Xincheng, no one is idle when they need to work, study when they need to study, and take care of the children when they need to do so.
The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, but Zhou Jimin, who has been busy in the research institute for several days, received an urgent call from Li Yuzhu.
"Jimin, Zhang Shujin, the head of Xinghai Trading Group, called just now. Our dragon fleet was intercepted by pirates..."
Through Li Yuzhu's narration, Zhou Jimin roughly understood what was going on.
Just half a day ago, the Jiaolong fleet passing through the waters near the Solomon Islands was intercepted by hundreds of pirates and dozens of speedboats.
These pirates are well-equipped, not only possessing a large number of weapons, but also high-end weapons and equipment such as torpedoes and missiles.
After a fight, although the pirates were almost completely wiped out, the computer dragon fleet also suffered heavy losses.
Li Yuzhu was not sure if something had happened, so he needed help from Zhou Jimin to check it out.
Xinghai Trading Group is the right-hand man who sails on the sea every day, but Li Yuzhu is not 100% sure whether Zhang Shujin has other ideas or joins forces with pirates to act.
After all, when Xinghai Trading Group was established, almost all talents were recruited from outside.
As for Zhou Jimin, Li Yuzhu, or Liang Wenfeng, they have almost never been on these shipping freighters.
Among the advisory group, many management members have been on these shipping freighters and experienced personally the rough seas and dangers of front-line shipping.
However, Zhou Jimin has never been there, and Li Yuzhu has never been there. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Zhang Shujin to have the idea of doing something else.
Of course, this is just Li Yuzhu’s guess.
She knew that Zhou Jimin valued Zhang Shujin after all, because Zhou Jimin followed a principle: don’t trust people without trusting them!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go over and take a look now. Don't worry."
Zhou Jimin comforted him warmly, and after hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on his face.
It just so happens that he also wants to go out and relax, so let's go to the Solomon Islands.
In fact, Xinghai Trading Group, as a bridge connecting Bald Eagle, Oceania, Hong Kong Island and other regions, its main function is maritime transportation.
As for the support of soldiers and self-respect that Li Yuzhu mentioned just now, Zhou Jimin didn't think so.
If Zhang Shujin dared to do this, the people below would not agree.
Do you really think those ordinary sailors floating on the sea are fools?
No one is a fool. Everyone knows who pays their wages. If they are self-respecting, the advisory group can directly contact the Hong Kong Bao family's Global Shipping Company or the Dong family's Orient Overseas Container Lines. They can do it.
Replace Xinghai Shipping Company.
There are four major shipping kings on Hong Kong Island, namely Dong Haoyun, Pao Yugang, Zhao Congyan and Cao Wenjin.
These are the famous Hong Kong Island shipping family, as well as some companies such as Shunchang Shipping with smaller cargo ships.
Shunchang Aviation is actually the family business of the famous tycoon Xu Shixun. This tycoon is the vice chairman of the board of directors of HSBC Bank and is very rich.
Needless to say, Dong Haoyun is a shipping king. Although the Orient Overseas Container Shipping Company he founded does not have as many ships as the "World Shipping King" Pao Yugang's Global Group, it has many types of ships and a single ship tonnage.
, the latest machinery and equipment exceed those of Universal Group.
Therefore, Xinghai Trading Group does not have any irreplaceable status at all.
As long as Zhang Shujin has a slightly normal mind, he will know that this matter is completely impossible.
Located in the waters near the Solomon Islands, not long after a war ended, fifteen cargo ships of over 10,000 tons were sailing slowly on the sea.
At this moment, a speedboat suddenly appeared in front, approaching the freighter fleet at a very fast speed.
"Captain, someone is approaching!"
As soon as the seaman finished speaking, the captain already received a call.
"Don't panic, the big boss is here, everyone behave well."
Hearing the captain's words, the sailors were all stunned: Which big boss?
It has only been about half a day since the accident. How could the big boss come over so quickly?
The Solomon Islands are thousands of kilometers away from Hong Kong Island. How could it be so fast?
However, in fact, Zhou Jimin had just contacted Zhang Shujin and obtained the contact information of the latter's younger brother Zhang Shuhong, because Zhang Shuhong was on board one of the largest cargo ships.
Zhang Shujin attached great importance to the Oceania route, so he directly sent his brother to personally escort it.
