Chapter 57
Jingxi Hotel is actually very close to the Diplomacy Academy. Gu Ao can usually see it on the roof of the dormitory building. The Diplomacy Academy is east of Yuyuantan, while Jingxi Hotel is south of the Tan, and there is a lake between the two places.
It was a Russian-style building with more than ten floors, completed in the early 1960s. It was a very tall landmark in the center of Beijing at that time.
However, inside the Jingxi Hotel, Gu Ao went to Beijing to study in college for a year, but never went in once. He only knew that it was a military guesthouse.
After following the crowd, Gu Ao saw more than a dozen "stalls" in a large conference hall, with signs such as "Military-Committee", "Ministry of State F", "Ministry of Propaganda C", and "Ministry of Foreign Trade".
Of course, it is definitely much more formal than the stalls in the talent market in later generations. The aura layout is completely different, very quiet, and there is absolutely no chaos.
Moreover, everyone's general whereabouts have been decided, and they are not here to "find a job". There are only some details to talk about in the specific position setting before they can be adjusted.
Most ministries and commissions even just chatted for a few words and collected materials, ordered the treatment level, and then waited for the rest to be transferred to the files before slowly making a reservation - this was very common at that time, and there would be no more than a dozen or even dozens of deputy positions in the post.
Many times, the receiving department does not consider what the person being stuffed in is suitable for, but only ensures that the administrative level treatment will not be reduced, so that the hearts of heroes cannot be disheartened.
Gu Ao took the letter of introduction in a low-key manner and came to the stall of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Machinery.
He observed it and found that it could be described as a distant place, and there was no one in line.
The situation of the foreign affairs bureaus of several other technical departments is similar.
It seems that many of the old hawkish diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were transferred from the army, and they did not understand technology at all and had no foundation in science and engineering. After going to the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the industrial department, many things could not be done, which led to this situation.
Nowadays, there are very few compound talents who understand foreign affairs work experience and engineering technology.
He also put the materials openly on the reception staff's table: "Hello comrade, I am Gu Ao from the School of Diplomacy. The school leaders recommend me to come to your department for an internship. This is my material."
The person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Bureau on-site was a director named Bao Chengcheng. Before Gu Ao appeared, he was a little stiff, so when he saw Gu Ao, he was quite enthusiastic.
"Why do you look so young? You're at most 20 years old." Director Bao thought to himself, took the recommendation materials and glanced at them a few times, and then he was in awe:
"You are the little Comrade Gu who is 'poverty is not socialism'. I know you have a good article and are tough when dealing with foreigners. You are reasonable and concise."
Gu Ao didn't expect that this would be the opening remark, and he had a more thorough understanding of his "building typical" effect.
It’s great to listen to it once, especially the front page. Even when you see you, you will get close to you.
He quickly humbled: "You have been too proud. I also have a specialty in my profession. I happen to be solving new problems that no one has seen before, and I occasionally gain something."
Director Bao just nodded, and did not respond to Gu Ao's modesty. Obviously, he did not really focus on politeness.
However, after continuing to look at the resume, Director Bao really felt a bit of love for talent: "It turns out that you have made technical contributions to the helium making machine project of Project No. 1?
That's very good. You have a foundation in science and engineering. Why did you go to the School of Diplomacy? You can go to Tsinghua University or the University of Science and Technology of China."
"It turns out that they are still the son of the cadres of Qiantang Oxygen Making Machine Factory. No wonder - by the way, what is your father's name? I went to Qiantang with my leader 10 years ago, and maybe I know each other."
When he said the last sentence, Director Bao's expression was already quite kind, and he was completely speaking the attitude of "his own people" in the same system, at least like the elders supporting younger generations.
"My father's name is Gu Yong, and he is currently the technical department chief." Gu Ao is not good at making friends, but only answers questions and answers.
Director Bao thought about it and said to himself: "Gu Yong... I don't have any impression of it. Maybe I was not a senior cadre back then. I remember that at that time, Gong Shao was in charge of the technical department, and I was quite impressed. By the way, do you recognize Qin Hui? I have a connection with Lao Qin."
Gu Ao quickly replied: "Of course Uncle Qin recognizes that after Uncle Shao was 'Bai Zong', he was the technical section chief promoted by Uncle Qin."
"Mr. Shao was beaten to be a vain? This... he played the piano randomly! He made great contributions, how could he do this?" Director Bao was shocked and sighed with a very dispositional sigh, as if he was recalling something.
"Ten years ago, my leader and I went to your factory for inspection. The task I was shouldering at that time was also the No. 1 Project..."
Every era has its "No. 1 Project" for each era, which is the most important scientific research project for the country during this period.
The time when Gu Ao heard Director Bao talk about it was around the late 1960s, he knew that he was referring to "two bombs and one satellite".
Perhaps there are too few people coming to "apply for jobs", and Gu Ao is also considered a person in the system, so he can listen to information that is not very confidential. Director Bao was so idle that he actually set up a dragon gate formation to show off his experiences:
"At that time, the nuclear bombs among the two bombs were the special management of the Second Machinery Department, and it has nothing to do with us. The manufacturing of the missile itself was the Ministry of Weapon Industry, so the first machine department was the only one who had to support ballistic missiles.
At that time, the country did not have ballistic missile nuclear submarines, and all nuclear missiles relied on underground launch silos. Underground bases for nuclear war preparations must be equipped with oxygen-generating equipment during wartime. The country required a large oxygen-generating of 60,000 cubic meters, but at that time, it could only be built at 30,000 cubic meters.
Our current director, ten years ago, was the director of the Thermal Engineering Department, so he took me to Qianxiao with me, and even went to the inspection and found foreign aid to research and research. He lived for a long time. In the end, Shao Gong had a solution. He is worthy of being a top student at Jiaotong University. He is a good student in the thermal engineering department! He hasn't slept much for several months, and he has compiled the drawings of 60,000 square meters - how can such an expert who has made significant contributions to the national defense cause... "
Director Bao sighed a few times, and could no longer say anything.
Gu Ao can roughly understand his example.
Large oxygen-making equipment is similar to the large chemical cases seen in general industrial articles - 400,000 tons of large ethylene is definitely higher in yield than 200,000 tons of large ethylene and lower unit energy consumption; 800,000 tons of large ethylene is more than 400,000 tons of cattle.
The equipment for separating air is also the unit power consumption of 60,000 cubic meters of oxygen generator is much lower than 30,000 cubic meters; 120,000 cubic meters and 150,000 cubic meters are even more awesome.
During the Cold War, when preparing for the nuclear war, in order to ensure the survival ability of underground nuclear bases, supporting large oxygen production is necessary.
Because water and food are easy to reserve strategically, and oxygen cannot be fully relied on cylinder filling and reserved, it is a drop in the bucket. Once the surface atmosphere is polluted by nuclear strikes, the underground base without large oxygen-making equipment cannot hold on at all.
(At that time, the underground nuclear war bases were equipped with small reactor power generation, and they could last for a long time by relying on nuclear power to drive large oxygen generators. Of course, no one knows how effective it is in actual combat, because no nuclear war has ever occurred.)
This is why the factory where Gu Ao’s father was located and Section Chief Shao himself survived the first seven or eight years during the ten years of indescribable period, but was not affected by the movement. At that time, no one dared to harass the industrial units that were slightly related to the nuclear deterrent.
Unfortunately, three or four years after the two bombs and one satellite signed a deal, diplomatic relations were established with the United States, and the orders for oxygen generators at various nuclear bomb well bases in China were almost all supplied. The external threats were greatly reduced, and Section Chief Shao finally failed to escape the difficulties.
However, this example also gave Gu Ao a temporary reassurance: no matter how national policies change, generally speaking, as long as a technician who has participated in the No. 1 Project makes contributions, even if he is more radical, he can at least ensure that he is fine within three or four years after completion.
(Academician Deng, the founder of the two bombs, was not disturbed until three or four years after the hydrogen bomb was successfully exploded. Previously, Zhou General Manager had always tried his best to protect him, but later it seemed that the agreement was established.)
Gu Ao has now participated in the membrane helium making machine project, and his contributions have been recorded in history, so he also has a three-year amulet, which can make the villains retreat and dare not frame him.
Anything that happens to him, whether right or wrong, will basically be observed and considered temporarily.
As for after the three-year period expires, Gu Ao still wants to be a pathfinder of the times, so he needs other powers to be amulets.
However, the domestic situation was almost clear at that time, and the famous economic crimes in 1982 have passed. As for the "YD" in the future, it is to deal with vicious criminal crimes, not economic problems.
...
Director Bao and Gu Ao have talked about so much about the past and have had some friendship, so there is no need to continue the interview seriously.
After saying some encouragement words of hope that Gu Ao would contribute to the export of domestic technology/equipment after he arrived at the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Director Bao also covered all the letter of acceptance letters and other documents.
Those who are used to later listed companies and foreign companies' meticulous HR interview system may be dumbfounded by their current style.
But in the era of planning for distribution, industrial institutions, large state-owned enterprises and state-owned enterprises use people this way.
Where does it come from? One side, two side, and three side, you like it. It’s your own people, so you just use it.
What's more, Gu Ao is just here to be an intern, and he is not transferring files to get the staffing.
"That's all?" After the process was completed, Gu Ao felt that it was too smooth.
"You are here to work, not to fight for treatment. We can't even welcome you." Director Bao was obviously in a good mood and said anything to Gu Ao.
"If you give us someone who has served as an ambassador in Eastern Europe and will be treated as a child, it would be a pain. Your Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a well-known high-level rank. The ambassador level is higher than our director. This is not to invite someone to work, but to invite a master to come back to provide for it."
Gu Ao suddenly realized: It turns out that he is still a high-end cheap labor force, and he doesn’t have to pay wages, so he can only give him some field allowances. It’s a hell that the departments are not welcomed.
It’s also a bit of a tea party in the morning that the level of the big guys was too high, and I was worried for nothing when I saw it.
Chapter completed!
