Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 112 School-Enterprise Cooperation Plan

"Hmm, that's a great concept! Comrade Zhaoyuan, tell me more about it."

Bai Bin also developed a strong interest in the concept and couldn't wait to learn more details.

Zhao Yuan then began to elaborate on his vision for establishing a joint research and development center:

"My idea is to transform research results into practical applications through cooperation between schools and enterprises, while providing students with internship and employment opportunities. In this way, we can improve the teaching quality of schools, enhance the technological innovation capabilities of enterprises, and achieve a win-win situation."

Zhao Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling as if he could see a bright future.

“Comrade Zhaoyuan, you have a really good brain. I really want to bring you to the provincial capital to help us.”

Bai Bin was thrilled after hearing this; he felt that Zhao Yuan's idea was very forward-thinking and feasible.

"Write down this detailed plan and submit it to my office tomorrow. If the agricultural university doesn't want to cooperate with you, I'll find you other partner institutions."

Bai Bin said confidently.

Hearing Bai Bin's words, Zhao Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew what the leader's trust and support meant, which strengthened his resolve to do this job well.

"Thank you, Governor Bai. I will definitely work hard! I will finish writing it tonight and deliver it to your office tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yuan said gratefully.

“Who said we won’t cooperate with him? There’s a first-come, first-served rule when it comes to recruiting people. Bro, that’s a bit unfair of you.”

Bai Hui said with a smile.

Everyone burst into laughter and happily ate and drank.

After dinner, Secretary Bai Bin attended the commendation meeting held by the provincial chemical plant for Comrade Zhao Yuan.

The atmosphere at this solemn and grand commendation ceremony was dignified and respectful.

Factory Director Qi Yong and Party Secretary Luo Zongguang delivered important speeches one after another. They conducted a profound self-reflection on the incident involving the imported advanced production line and highly praised Zhao Yuan's meticulousness and courage in identifying problems.

It was precisely because of Zhao Yuan's keen insight and decisive action that they were ultimately able to turn defeat into victory, successfully introducing the world's most advanced production line at an extremely low price, thus saving the factory and the country from huge economic losses. It can be said that they saved the entire factory.

This behavior is undoubtedly something we should all learn from and emulate.

Next, Secretary Bai Bin stepped onto the podium and solemnly announced the decision to commend Zhao Yuan and award him a generous prize.

At this moment, the entire audience held their breath, their eyes focused on the podium.

Secretary Bai Bin's voice was clear and firm:

"Following the factory's application and the approval of higher authorities, Comrade Zhaoyuan is hereby awarded the title of 'Special-Class Model Worker'! Furthermore, in recognition of Comrade Zhaoyuan's outstanding contributions to the factory, the factory has decided to award him a Shanghai-brand sedan as a reward! In addition, he will receive a cash bonus of 100,000 yuan!"

As Secretary Bai Bin finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. The applause surged like a tidal wave, lasting for a long time. People stood up one after another, paying their highest respects, casting envious glances, and offering their warmest congratulations to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan was a little stunned when he heard Secretary Bai Bin announce the reward. He thought that in this day and age, state-owned enterprises would usually give a reward of a few hundred yuan plus a certificate.

After all, at that time, Secretary Bai Bin's salary was less than 1000 yuan a month, so he had no expectations for a reward. It was indeed a bit of a surprise that he was given such a large reward.

While Zhao Yuan hesitated, someone nudged him, signaling him to go on stage to receive the award.

Zhao Yuan snapped out of his daze and ran up to the podium.

Secretary Bai Bin personally walked up to Zhao Yuan and pinned the shining Special Contribution Medal to his chest.

He then handed over the car keys and a check for 10 yuan to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan excitedly accepted the keys and the check.

Then, Secretary Bai Bin firmly grasped Zhao Yuan's hand, expressing his heartfelt congratulations and gratitude.

At this moment, the entire venue was filled with an exciting atmosphere, and everyone was deeply moved by this moment.

After the dinner, people said their goodbyes.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly returned to the guesthouse, closed the door, and began to carefully write the school-enterprise cooperation plan.

This task was a piece of cake for him; he wrote down the contents of four whole sheets of paper with ease.

After completing the plan, Zhao Yuan picked it up and carefully checked it to confirm that there were no problems.

Then he washed up and rested.

The next morning, Zhao Yuan got up, washed up, and was about to go downstairs for breakfast before driving to the Provincial Party Committee.

When he went downstairs, he was surprised to find that Master Chen was already sitting in the lobby waiting for him.

Good morning, Comrade Zhaoyuan.

Master Chen greeted him warmly.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, hello! I was originally planning to drive to the provincial party committee myself."

Zhao Yuan replied.

"You can drive?"

Master Chen was very surprised and asked curiously.

"Yes, I studied it in the county before."

Zhao Yuan suddenly realized that in this era, very few people could drive, and being a driver was an even rarer profession. So, he casually made up a lie.

"Let me take you there. I know the way well, and it will be easier for me to get into the provincial party committee."

Brother Chen said warmly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Zhao Yuan replied with a smile.

"Okay, you haven't had breakfast yet? Come on, let's go get something to eat first."

With that, Brother Chen led Zhaoyuan toward the chemical plant's canteen.

Upon arriving at the canteen, Brother Chen ordered some breakfast and enjoyed it with Zhaoyuan.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them drove straight to the provincial party committee compound.

There are guards stationed at the entrance of the provincial party committee compound. Brother Chen often drives here, so he is very familiar with the guards.

He registered briefly at the entrance, and the guard let them in.

After the car entered the provincial party committee compound, Brother Chen parked it and turned to Zhaoyuan, saying:

"Secretary Bai's office is on the second floor, the sixth room on the left."

"Ok, thank you."

After thanking Brother Chen, Zhao Yuan opened the car door and went straight upstairs.

Arriving at Secretary Bai Bin's door, Zhao Yuan gently knocked.

A moment later, the door was opened from the inside, and a familiar face appeared before them.

"Comrade Zhaoyuan has arrived, please come in."

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan, Secretary Bai Bin immediately smiled and greeted him warmly.

"Secretary Bai, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and take care of it. It's alright for me to wait here."

Zhao Yuan said very politely.

"Haha, it's alright, I've already arranged for someone else to handle it. Now I can take a look at your proposal."

Secretary Bai Bin replied with a smile, then welcomed Zhao Yuan into the office and gestured for him to sit down on the sofa.

Not long after, a staff member came in carrying two cups of hot tea.
