In the early 1990s, many far-reaching things happened in China. People were particularly concerned about and spread legendary stories, such as "cans for airplanes."
Starting in the late 1980s, due to the economic recession, the Tu-154 passenger aircraft produced by the Kuibyshev Aircraft Factory in the Soviet Union could no longer be sold.
Its products are too crude, have low technical level, are difficult to maintain, and have poor user experience. They are simply not competitive in the Western world. Both Boeing and Airbus have better and stronger products than it.
The passenger planes are built but cannot be sold, and a large amount of funds are accumulated. This is troublesome.
Mao Xiong's state-owned enterprise problems are more serious than those of flower growers. Its Ministry of Aviation Industry is also trying to find buyers for its products. Mou Zhongzhi relies on his wide network of contacts to grasp this business opportunity. His Nande Group has been negotiating with Mao Zi for three years.
Historically, this deal will be concluded at the end of 1991. The four Tu-154s will be delivered within a few months. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is an unimaginably big deal.
As a result, Mou Zhongzhi's fame skyrocketed, he made a lot of money, and shocked the whole country.
However, the impact of this legendary story is not necessarily positive. Many public officials feel that Mou Zhongzhong makes money through connections.
‘If you can do it, so can I’.
So everyone was stimulated to go into business one after another. There was a saying at that time, "One billion people, 900 million have fallen, and there are still 100 million who are looking for it."
"Dai" refers to the taiye, that is, the second-rate dealer.
At that time, any commodity could be ‘poured’. Steel, cement, coal, and grains were in great demand domestically.
It's like buying a lottery ticket. Everyone only sees someone winning, but they don't realize how many people have been ruined.
The middle school textbook clearly stated that the social situation at that time was "the contradiction between backward productivity and the people's growing life needs."
Just like one acre of land can only produce 250 kilograms of grain, no matter how much you 'pour', you can't get more grain. What we really need are pesticides, chemical fertilizers, improved seeds, farmland water conservancy and agricultural technology, and we need people to do the hard work.
Zhou Qingfeng could not stop the changes in the current social atmosphere. All he could do was to take action himself and cut off Mou Zhongzhong's business.
Mou Zhongzhi only built four Tu-154s, earned 1.6 billion, became famous all over the world, and boasted all his life. He went to jail several times, and he could continue to boast after he came out.
But Zhou Qingfeng didn't just want a few big planes.
He also wants the Kuibyshev Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the Gorbunov Aircraft Production Complex, the aerospace manufacturing system left by Mao Xiong, and all the best in its military industry.
Only second-rate dealers are complacent about making some money, while real heroes want the entire industry chain.
Once this business is done, the media in the whole society will publicize Zhou Qingfeng, and he will be qualified to guide the people on a real path to wealth.
Zhou Qingfeng gave Marcos 100,000 US dollars in HK and asked him to go back to Moscow to explore the road. He returned to Tianyang, preparing to mobilize his employees and prepare to do business with Lao Maozi.
The ‘Holy Light Group’ will go to Moscow in the name of importing passenger aircraft. The Soviet side should open some manufacturing companies and research institutions for visits, which will greatly facilitate Zhou Qingfeng’s small actions behind the scenes.
"Buy a big plane?"
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to buy a plane?"
"Oh, buying a plane is really a big deal."
After Zhou Qingfeng made his intention public, what he was happiest about was the "advisory group" composed of veteran cadres, technology and engineers within the "Holy Light" system.
After the news was revealed at the group's monthly meeting, members of the advisory group came to chat with the president and excitedly made suggestions.
This 'advisory group' originally only had about ten people, but now it has expanded to seventy or eighty people.
These old men and women come from all walks of life in the country, including factories, scientific research, and even ministries and commissions. They are basically retired, with an average age of sixty-four, and their old arms and legs are not good for them.
Some even have unclear articulation, struggle to speak, and have to rely on caregivers to help them walk. They say they are "buried in the dirt" when they get older, and the members of the advisory board are said to be "buried in the dirt."
In order to take care of these "old revolutionaries", Zhou Qingfeng brought his strange maid with holy water and healing techniques, which really cured many old and chronic diseases.
After staying in Tianyang for a few days, basically all the old consultants' health improved to some extent.
Those with bad legs and feet can walk a few steps on crutches. Those with slurred speech can speak smoothly. Those who have been taking medicine for many years have greatly improved their condition. Many old comrades joked: "When I come to Tianyang, my spleen and stomach are comfortable, and I can eat more times."
A few mouthfuls.”
This led to news circulating within the advisory group...
Tianyang has good mountains, water, and good air, which is particularly suitable for recuperation. In particular, the "Shengguang Group" has channels to obtain some imported health care products, which are particularly effective.
As soon as the news spread, many well-connected people heard the news and came to Tianyang for a very utilitarian purpose. They were not here to work at all. They used the 'Holy Light' Group as a sanatorium.
Good things were about to turn bad, so Zhou Qingfeng had to set up a review system to keep out many "old revolutionaries" who came here because of his fame.
Some old guys are not very capable and have a bad temper. They live in high positions but live their lives, and they still demand demanding treatment after retirement.
For example, a certain academician who designed the "Beautiful Man in the Sky" was criticized by Maozi for his proud work as "obviously contrary to common sense." Even his disciples felt that his skills were too poor.
It’s hard to shirk someone with such a deep background, so just go westward when you come to Tianyang. After all, at such an old age, it’s normal for one or two to die, otherwise the ‘Holy Light’ advisory group would be too evil.
The 'carefully selected' consultant team seems to have a second spring when they arrive in Tianyang, and their gray hair can be dyed black again, and there is no problem in turning their energy around for five or six years.
Although the advisory group has a certain 'mortality rate', as its reputation grows, more retirees will definitely come in the future. Zhou Qingfeng is wondering whether he should build a 'nursing home'?
By the 1990s, it had been more than 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and nearly half a century of industrial development. The country had still accumulated many experienced and capable old comrades.
As the saying goes, having an elder in a family is like having a treasure.
I dare not say that there are too many, but the "nursing home" accommodates a thousand professor-level talents, recuperates them, improves their health, and allows them to live five to ten years longer. The benefits are still extremely considerable.
At present, most of the advisory team works in Tianyang Yeyuan, teaching and educating people. After all, each one has their own expertise, so it is easy to lead graduate students and train technicians.
The leaders of the school were very excited about this, and the school's teaching staff increased several times, and even more departments were opened.
Zhou Qingfeng said that he wanted to buy an airplane, and the old comrades in the advisory group clapped their thighs to express their agreement, and they were very happy.
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to build an aircraft manufacturing factory, and all his old comrades gathered around him to help come up with ideas and talk to each other.
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to buy the Soviet Union at the bottom and take advantage, but the old revolutionaries quickly stopped him - Mr. Zhou, it is a good thing to want to buy the bottom, but how much money do you have in your pocket?
