Sail across the sea

Chapter 125 Sure enough, I guessed right

Zheng Xuegong was not completely convinced by Gao Fan, but he realized some valuable things from Gao Fan's words.

It remains to be seen whether Gao Fan's vision can be realized, or even whether what Gao Fan said is true, but why not give him a chance?

Zheng Xuegong faintly felt that the child in front of him might bring some surprises to himself, and even to the chemical industry of the whole country, and it might be a good idea to let him try it.

As for Gao Fan's studies, Zheng Xuegong didn't care too much.After all, this is just a 16-year-old boy. Even if it takes a year, what's the big deal if you drop a grade and study again?

"Tell me what you think, what do you want me to do." Zheng Xuegong said.

"I would like you to say hello to Director Xu, and tell me that I am entrusted by the Ministry of Chemical Industry to do a pilot project combining production, education and research. As for the location, I will choose the Canghai Chemical Fertilizer Factory." Gao Fan said.

Zheng Xuegong smiled and said: "Ha, you are planning to let the Ministry of Chemical Industry take the blame for you, so what benefits can the Ministry of Chemical Industry get?"

Gao Fan said seriously: "I promise not to sell the key patent of ammonium urine modification to the Japanese."

"Deal!" Zheng Xuegong said briskly, then raised two fingers and said, "However, there are two conditions."

"Go ahead."

"First, don't make any mistakes, don't let me, an old man, wipe your ass for you."

"Don't worry, old man, I don't have this bad habit."

"Second, accept as soon as you see it. Your main task is to learn, not to make money."

"Well..." Gao Fan hesitated, "Should we see the effect before deciding, what if even your old man is reluctant to let me go back to study?"

"Okay, then I'll see what you have that can make me reluctant to let you go back to study." Zheng Xuegong said.

During the ensuing journey, Gao Fan and Zheng Xuegong, apart from sleeping time, spent time discussing world affairs together. Of course, the main topic was still the chemical industry.

Zheng Xuegong is very familiar with the situation of the domestic chemical industry, he can talk about any company, and from time to time he can tell some gossip and anecdotes that are inconvenient to be recorded in official history, which makes Gao Fan extremely enjoyable to listen to.

Gao Fan's strength lies in his deep understanding of technology, not only limited to the existing domestic technology, but also includes foreign technology frontiers, and his judgment on future technology trends.These contents made Zheng Xuegong feel refreshed and eye-opening.

Zheng Xuegong's follower also joined their chat.According to Zheng Xuegong, that "Little Wu" was named Wu Zhefu, and he was his "apprentice".Regarding this identity, Gao Fan just said hehe, after all, blind people can see that Wu Zhefu must be Zheng Xuegong's secretary.

It's just that Zheng Xuegong reported his identity too low before, so it's inconvenient to say that he has a secretary with him now.This kind of thing, everyone tacitly let it go.

When the car arrived at Bitian, the young lady of Bingxian got off the car first, and someone picked her up on the platform.Gao Fan also packed his luggage, said goodbye to Zheng Xuegong, and asked him when he would greet Xu Ying and how he would contact him again.

Zheng Xuegong stopped Gao Fan and said, "Don't worry, since you said you were entrusted by the Ministry of Chemical Industry to come out of school, then you can just follow me these days. Someone from the Shuinan Chemical Industry Department will come to pick us up soon. Xiao Wu and I stayed in Shuinan for a few days, and then we planned to go to Maolin. Maybe your father will go to Ruizhang, and then I will hand you over to your father, wouldn't it be better?"

"What is my father doing in Ruizhang?" Gao Fan didn't understand.

Wu Zhefu said: "Director Zheng came to the south this time, and one of his tasks is to inspect the Canghai Fertilizer Factory to determine whether the Canghai Fertilizer Factory has the conditions to be used as a pilot plant for ammonium-to-urine reform. So, maybe the Maolin Chemical Industry Department will let Your father rushed to Ruizhang to make a report."

"So, the Ministry of Chemical Industry has decided to do a pilot project in our factory?" Gao Fan was overjoyed.

"There is no way, your factory manager's son is holding a bunch of key patents in his hand, saying that if we don't agree, he will sell the patents to the Japanese, do you think we can not be afraid?" Zheng Xuegong said in a long voice.

Gao Fan's face showed anger: "How could this man do this! Isn't this traitorous? Don't let me meet him!"

"..."

Zheng Xuegong and Wu Zhefu looked at each other, both convinced by Gao Fan's face.

"Minister Zheng, Minister Zheng, we are late, did we keep you waiting?"

A voice sounded outside the box, and then, a fat man squeezed up from the door of the box, greeted Zheng Xuegong enthusiastically, and nodded to Wu Zhefu in his busy schedule.

As for Gao Fan, the fat man just glanced at him and stopped paying attention.Obviously, at Gao Fan's age, he must not be Minister Zheng's entourage, that is the role of Passerby A.

Minister Zheng...

Haha, I guessed it right.

Gao Fan secretly laughed in his heart.He didn't realize it until after sleeping until midnight the night before. The "Zheng Xuegong" in the box was clearly Zheng Linong, then vice minister of the Ministry of Chemical Industry.He didn't say his real name, presumably because he was afraid that Gao Fan would hear his name, so he wouldn't be able to pretend.

In fact, Gao Fan in this life has never heard of Zheng Linong's name. After all, the gap between the Ministry of Chemical Industry and the Canghai Fertilizer Factory is too great. Gao Yiping never talks about the leaders of the Ministry of Chemical Industry at home.

Gao Fan knew Zheng Linong's name, and it was still in later generations.At that time, Zheng Linong had already retired, but there were still many legends about him in the industry.

According to records, Zheng Linong was born in 1930, just over 50 years old at this time, according to the standards of later generations, he was still in the prime of life.It's just that people in this era generally look old, so Gao Fan left the impression of a "semi-old man".

Zheng Linong was born in the army. He was only 15 years old when he joined the army. He was catching up with the end of the war of resistance. He could be called a "[-]-style cadre" within the system.

After the liberation of the whole country, he was arranged to take over a chemical factory.In order to manage the company well, he, who only had a primary school education at that time, mastered all the textbooks of university chemistry by self-study, and became a rare cadre in the chemical industry system who had both qualifications and proficiency in technology.

In the following years, he successively served as the director of the chemical plant, the director of the Municipal Chemical Industry Bureau, the provincial chemical industry director, and until he served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

He has the true qualities of a worker and peasant cadre, and also understands professional skills, so he can mingle with ordinary cadres and workers, and can chat and laugh happily with engineering and technical personnel, and has a wide range of influence in the industry.

Many key projects and major breakthroughs in the chemical industry in later generations have Zheng Linong behind them, and this is the main reason why Gao Fan knows this name.
