Chapter 57: The New System for Young People

This young man is quite thoughtful and is really nice to Xiao'e. Regardless of whether his intention is right or not, he really means it.

Father and mother Lou looked at each other, and mother Lou said firmly: "Half a year, no more."

Gao Zhendong didn't have any objections. He wasn't a man who was long-winded. "Okay, then half a year."

After staying at Lou's house for a while, Gao Zhendong said goodbye and went home. Lou Xiao'e saw him out. They looked at each other and smiled. Lou Xiao'e blushed, but she didn't dare to do anything else on the street.

After bidding farewell to Lou Xiaoe, Gao Zhendong rode his bike home, closed the door, washed his hands and drew a lottery.

Yes, he deliberately put the lottery after the good thing, to see if he could do something metaphysical.

Still so plain and simple, a stack of paper materials lay quietly in the storage. Gao Zhendong took a look and felt a little reluctant to evaluate his harvest this time.

If you want to say whether this thing is good or not, it is really good. If you want to say whether it is useful, it is not very useful for the moment. It can be used a little, but it cannot be used in a systematic way for the moment because the environment is not yet at that level.

——"Data Structure", a professional basic course for information technology related majors.

Gao Zhendong studied it and did well in the exams, but he couldn't memorize an entire systematic book.

At this time in 59, the application direction of computers was closely integrated with numerical calculations. To put it bluntly, the computing power and the price of computers were barely enough to handle pure numerical calculations. There was no time or money to do anything else.

This resulted in the fact that data structures did not yet have a clear meaning in computer applications, because the structure of data was not something that was planned and considered in advance, but was tightly tied to specific applications. There was not even the concept of data structures, and the real development of data structures only began about ten years later.

But with my own butterfly, maybe I can push it forward earlier? Overall, Gao Zhendong was still satisfied. Don't worry about whether it can be used or not, just tell me whether it is good or not.

On Monday afternoon, a seminar on scientific research management was being held in the auditorium of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building. The atmosphere in the venue was very lively. In meetings of this era, people tend to speak freely on specific matters. In factory meetings, old workers really dared to point at their leaders and curse them.

The meeting was chaired by the leader I met last time. When I saw Chief Engineer Chen and Gao Zhendong, I greeted them happily.

Gao Zhendong and Lao Chen arrived in the morning and have listened to many reports from sister units and gained a lot.

Don't underestimate the people of that time. Although there was no complete, theoretical, systematic management system, many management techniques and methods were very practical and effective for specific matters. It was common in this era to use local methods to solve big problems.

This continued until the afternoon, and the next report was from the Third Rolling Mill.

Originally, Gao Zhendong gave the materials to Lao Chen, intending for Lao Chen to write the report. However, given his age, the effect of his report would not be as good as that of Lao Chen.

At the beginning, Lao Chen was also prepared to go up first, and then push Gao Zhendong at the end to prevent Gao Zhendong from becoming a conspicuous thing, which is sometimes not a good thing.

But once I look through the materials, I can understand them and recite them verbatim, but I can't stand the discussion and research with my comrades. It's not something that can be done by reading it once. How can I call Gao Zhendong to save the day? Old Chen can't afford to lose face.

Throwing the materials back into Gao Zhendong's hands, he said, "You do it yourself. I'm afraid others will be too enthusiastic about this thing and I can't handle it."

So, in the end, Gao Zhendong went up alone.

The female announcer at the venue began to announce: "Next, Gao Zhendong, an engineer from the Beijing Third Steel Rolling Plant, will give a report titled "Some Thoughts on the Scientific Research Project Management System."

As usual, the participants applauded. Gao Zhendong picked up the materials and a stack of slides, stood up, and walked towards the podium.

When he passed by the leaders on the rostrum, the leaders applauded and gave him encouraging looks.

When the young Gao Zhendong stood at the podium, a burst of whispers broke out in the meeting hall, merging into a "buzzing" sound.

"So young? An engineer?"

“Is this a technician?”

"That's impossible. I heard it clearly just now. It was an engineer." "The young people in the Third Steel Rolling Mill are so talented?"

"No one is working at the Third Rolling Mill? Here comes a young man like you."

"."

Most people at the meeting were surprised at Gao Zhendong's age. Engineers in their twenties are rare in this age.

Gao Zhendong was not nervous. There was heavy artillery fire, so this little noise was nothing.

He patted the microphone and the meeting room quickly became quiet. Everyone still had this discipline, and Gao Zhendong began his report calmly.

As Gao Zhendong spoke one sentence at a time in his report and the slides appeared, everyone's surprise at his age gradually turned into another kind of surprise.

"There are some things, many of which I haven't heard of."

"Yes, although I haven't heard of it, but after hearing it and thinking about it, I feel like I'm suddenly enlightened."

“Some methods are very practical and easy to master.”

"Although it sounds a bit mysterious, it makes a lot of sense."

"Don't talk! Listen carefully!"

“Things in Beijing’s units are just different.”

"He said, this is a whole set of things."

“No wonder he’s an engineer at this age.”

"Remember it quickly!"

"."

Gao Zhendong's report focused on project management content for project managers, covering all aspects of project planning, organization, cost, progress, quality, information, risk and safety.

Although a lot of content was streamlined and modified due to time constraints and social environment, this systematic management theory still brought great shock and inspiration to the on-site personnel.

The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building was sitting below, nodding as he listened: "Wow, this young man really has a management idea. Last time I thought Old Yang was exaggerating, but now it seems that he didn't say the whole story. His ideas have already formed a theoretical system, and they are not only useful for scientific research, but also for production and construction."

The leader is worthy of being a leader. He immediately saw the value of Gao Zhendong's report.

Gao Zhendong finally finished his report. As he said "Thank you, comrades", the meeting room suddenly fell silent, as if everyone had not heard enough and were still waiting for him to continue.

After a while, there was a loud and warm applause in the meeting hall. It was obvious that everyone approved of his report very much. Some people even stood up, probably because they were eager to get the questions in their minds answered as quickly as possible.

Seeing that the order was about to be disrupted, the leader stood up and walked onto the stage, and everyone's movements basically stopped, but the applause continued.

The leader smiled and praised Gao Zhendong: "Comrade Zhendong, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have given me another big surprise!"

The leader turned around and patted the microphone after he finished speaking.

The meeting place fell silent.
