Investment Life

With the support of the city leaders, the work will naturally go smoothly, and the preparations for the technical school are on the right track day by day.In fact, when it comes to vocational education, the overall strength of the city is quite good. All major factories and mines have their own vocational schools, and there is also a university education system that matches the industrial system. The faculty is quite strong.And the first thing Chen Yuanming did was still—poach corners.

Not only those front-line retired technicians with really high-level practical ability, but also excellent educators who are proficient in teaching theory, almost swept the entire city, wielding strong financial resources and advanced school-running models that other schools can't match , The poaching operation was in full swing, and soon the school took shape.

But the collection of talents did not stop here. In addition to the mature industrial systems in the city such as electromechanical integration, iron and steel metallurgy, machine repair and fitter, and numerical control excavation, the school also opened the most popular short-term courses in automobile maintenance, clothing and textiles, and home appliance maintenance. , also dug out an experienced management team from the National People's Congress, and this school named "United Heavy Industry Vocational and Technical College" appeared in front of the world in an instant with a very eye-catching posture.

Different from most other vocational schools, Lianzhong's school-running direction is not only aimed at fresh junior and high school graduates, but focuses on the further study of on-the-job workers and the re-employment training of laid-off workers. Under the leadership of the municipal government, they have The land and most of the factory buildings of the rubber shoe factory were purchased at a price almost equal to free gift, and they were repaired and rebuilt as the teaching base of Lianzhong.In exchange, the school contracted short-term re-employment training for 800 laid-off workers from the rubber shoe factory.

This move naturally caused an uproar in the city.We must know that the "Bankruptcy Law" is still in the trial stage. Although there are many enterprises in various provinces and cities that have failed to survive, very few have actually gone bankrupt.Even if the triangular debt is high, even if the bank refuses to provide any more loans, even if the factory has completely shut down and stopped production, it does not want to bear the notoriety of bankruptcy.Therefore, factories and mines like the rubber shoe factory are currently extremely rare cases, and in the case of actual bankruptcy, they have not really entered the bankruptcy liquidation process, but rely on sporadic inventory sales and municipal government subsidies to barely maintain Living allowances for laid-off workers.

At that time, there was no free re-employment education provided by the government, no fixed-point living allowance for laid-off workers, and no subsistence allowances or any social security. These laid-off workers could be said to have fallen from heaven to hell in an instant.However, many people are still hesitant and lingering in the face of Lianzhong's act of sending charcoal in a timely manner.

After all, most of these laid-off workers are between 30 and 45 years old, some are old, some are young, and their homeland is difficult to leave, and they have been in the big pot for so many years. It has been stagnant for too long in the past era. I have neither trust nor courage in the new thing of re-employment. I would rather eat the meager living allowance that cannot be more meager, and hope that the factory will recover again one day. Dare to step into the thunder pool easily.You must know that if you choose to re-employ, you will be completely forgotten by the company, and you will not even be able to receive living allowances. What a terrible thing it will be!

For this reason, the municipal government has worked hard and coaxed and persuaded enough to appease them. In the end, more than 630 workers signed re-employment training contracts and entered the familiar yet unfamiliar campus of Lianzhong.On the day of the opening ceremony, Secretary Yang also attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony in person, which made the students really calm down.

"Alas~~Everything is difficult at the beginning..." After the ceremony, standing on the newly renovated school playground, Secretary Yang chatted with Chen Yuanming with emotion. "This kind of free re-employment education is a precedent for Lianzhong in the whole province and even the whole country. I don't know how much impact it will bring..."

In fact, for Secretary Yang, this new school is also a very risky gamble.Too many local officials are accustomed to the ideal state of not seeking merit but seeking no faults. Any reform in the true sense requires too much determination and energy.It's just that the bait that Chen Yuanming handed over was so tempting that he gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

"Without the support of the municipal government, we would not have been able to build this school so quickly. We would also like to thank Secretary Yang for his support and help."

Looking at the brand-new campus in front of him, and those new students who were shy and obviously a little cramped, Chen Yuanming also sighed slightly. It took more than half a year of careful preparation and more than two months of repeated communication to make this school truly take shape.This time, because it is a short-term re-employment class, most of the course training only lasts 6 months to 1 year. It will take a long time for these laid-off workers to really re-enter the society.

Now is not the peak of layoffs in state-owned enterprises. Stock listings and bank loans are still struggling to support the capital chains of many loss-making companies, just like boiling frogs in warm water, allowing them to have the last hope before dying.It is not easy to wake up these people from their dreams.

But it's always good to have a start.When these workers go back to work and get higher and stable wages than state-owned enterprises, people's ideas may slowly change.Fortunately, this was in 1995 when bankruptcy had not yet become the main theme of state-owned enterprises. If there were more enterprises and more laid-off workers, I am afraid that no matter how determined Lianzhong was, it would still be somewhat powerless.

"Without your courage, the city government would have no way of cooperating. It's just..." After a moment of hesitation, Secretary Yang asked, "Aren't you going to recruit new students now? There is no source of students and tuition fees. Running this school is always a money-losing business..."

Secretary Yang's concern this time is sincere.Lianzhong has strong teaching staff and superior treatment for teachers. The cost of building a school alone is huge.How much are the land and workshops of the rubber shoe factory worth?It is unimaginably cost-effective to exchange hundreds of students for free high-quality re-employment training with only a few bad factories, and it can be called a public welfare undertaking.

The subsequent re-employment training courses will require the city government and enterprises to jointly pay some costs, but those preferential policies and extremely meager remuneration still cannot make ends meet for United Heavy Industry, and the price of on-the-job training at the same time is not too high. Extremely low, the overall calculation is a loss-making business.No matter how rich and powerful Chen Yuanming is, can he still treat the school as a fundraiser?

"Fresh graduates will be recruited eventually, but not now." Chen Yuanming's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm. "Students and workers are different after all. They need longer training and higher-quality education. At present, our conditions for running schools are not yet mature. Let's use further education and re-employment as a sharpening stone. Wait until Lianzhong's reputation really starts. After the disciplines become more diversified, vocational high school is the next step.”

"However, with the development of time, the threshold of Lianzhong will only become higher and higher. The fast-track training course can reduce the cost on the employer, and can carry out directional training and directional delivery, but the truly professional and excellent skills must be You have to pay a price to get it. Lianzhong is not a charity, cheap and free will only make people forget the preciousness of what they get..."

"Professional titles, academic qualifications and re-employment training courses will be completely different concepts. Those who are willing to pay and work hard for knowledge should also get more rewards. But everything must have a beginning. Now let those who dare The brave ones who eat crabs should get rich first, and with these golden signs, the future of the school will come. I can still afford this initial investment."

"However..." Chen Yuanming turned his head and smiled at Secretary Yang, "There will also be shantangs. In addition to donating basic education to impoverished mountainous areas, Yuanyang is also planning to establish a student fund for those who suffer from economic problems. Loans are provided to outstanding talents who are unable to continue their studies, including not only outstanding technical workers, but also school students with outstanding grades and abilities, as long as they enter my company to work for a period of time after completing their studies. Don't be stingy."

There is no hesitation or hesitation in the voice of the young man in front of him, only vibrant self-confidence and determination.Secretary Yang looked at him for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, showing the same smile.This is a real capitalist, a figure beyond the concept of ordinary private entrepreneurs.I have clearly read his resume countless times, but I will never be able to figure out the context of this person's growth.Maybe something like Su Hui really exists...

Fortunately, I am on the same side as him.

Exhaling lightly, Secretary Yang turned his head back with a smile, and looked at this rough and crude academy.No one can imagine what kind of existence this small school will develop into in a few years.However, whether it is a mine or a school, it will eventually become a stepping stone for him to reach a higher level.Now that he has met such a heroic financial backer, does he have to invest some more capital to make himself a person with more investment value?

The school ceremony didn't last long. After the noon dinner, Chen Yuanming returned home.In the past two months, he didn't stay in the city all the time, he still traveled to many places, rushing about for the touchstone, for Feiyan, and for Yuanyang.Now that the framework of the layout of his hometown has been roughly completed, he can finally find some free time to catch his breath.

As soon as he entered the door, a smiling face greeted him.Chen Xiuling graciously held a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chen Yuanming.

"Yuanming, this is the camellia that my aunt bought in the mountains. The taste is absolutely unique. Try it!"

Since that family meeting, my sister-in-law's family has completely settled down. The cousin who hates dogs has been taken home for further education. The shares were exchanged for a loan of 30 yuan, and he ran to expand his own tobacco plantation and opened up an orchard.The sister-in-law, on the other hand, devotes herself to improving the relationship between her family and her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and she comes to visit the door whenever she has nothing to do, so don't worry too much about her health and well-being.

For themselves, they are obviously more in awe than intimacy, behave well, and have a warm attitude, but they no longer dare to make any small calculations on their noses.In fact, this family is really not stupid. They have the cunning and shrewdness of a small citizen. After recognizing the situation, their attitude changed faster than anyone else. Compared with others, they were too reserved.

It's just that no matter how reserved, no one will have trouble with money.Even without much action, the centripetal force of the family has been formed unconsciously. The number of dinner parties has gradually increased, and door-to-door visits have become more frequent. Some internal family problems are more directly placed in front of parents, seeking advice from them.Nowadays, the status and weight of parents in the family have long been different from what they used to be, and they can be regarded as expensive by virtue of their children.

For such a change, Chen Yuanming is naturally happy to see it succeed.

Smiling and nodding to thank each other, he glanced upstairs, "Is my mother still taking a nap?"

"Isn't that right!" The smile on Chen Xiuling's face was indescribably kind. "Last time Aunt Wang told my sister-in-law to take a nap to keep in good health, and she took a short nap every day. She looks much better recently. Let's go shopping again in the afternoon." Go to the street, buy some seasonal clothes, Yuanming, is there anything you want?"

Aunt Wang is the nanny who moved in recently, and she is a couple with the new driver, Lao Yan.This aunt is a good cook. There is no dish she can't cook in the world. She is also quite accomplished in health preservation. It is rare to have a bit of interest in life. Even his mother started to plant some flowers and plants in the garden instead of Those poor garlic seedlings seem to be planning to get a puppy to raise recently.

Although the direction of change is not the same as that of his father, Chen Yuanming felt very at ease with his mother's slow progress. He smiled and picked up the glass of water in front of him. Chen Yuanming said, "My secretary will arrange everything. You don't have to worry about it. Just go shopping yourself. I will ask someone to arrange a trip next month. If you want to go to Shanghai or Hong Kong, you can decide first, and then you can prepare in advance.”

Chen Xiuling's eyes lit up immediately, "Ah, I have to discuss it with everyone in advance. I have traveled all over the city and the provincial capital, so I should go further afield! We can't just stay here. Watch those big cities on VCD, what are they called... Ah! Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times!"

Here Jiji was giggling happily, but there was a phone ringing upstairs. After a minute or two, Wang Juan rubbed her eyes and walked down the stairs, and she saw Chen Yuanming sitting on the sofa at a glance.

With joy on her face, she shouted with a smile, "Yuanming is back! It's just right! Director Jiang from the Education Department of our factory will come to you later, and I just want to call you!"

Factory Education Office?Chen Yuanming frowned slightly, this is an irrelevant yamen, not to mention that today when his parents have left the factory, what needs to be discussed with him?
