Chapter 261 We're making big money



Study room.

Wang Yue and Zhang Lan carried the blueprints and placed them on the podium.

Below are Wang Yue's classmates, all of whom have puzzled expressions.

What are they trying to do?

Wang Yue usually keeps a low profile and is relatively unknown.

Is there something wrong with her standing on the podium today?

Wang Yue looked at her classmates below, swallowed hard, and felt a little scared.

When the two of them left the research institute.

Wang Yue planned to translate the blueprints herself.

But Zhang Lan disagreed with this plan. With enough effort, she believed that so many drawings could indeed be translated within a week.

But why make it so tiring? Let's all work together.

Delegating tasks makes things more efficient.

Wang Yue initially disagreed, as she had no experience in coordinating or organizing such matters.

Zhang Lan advised, "I'm here. It's tiring and easy to make mistakes if you eat a piece of cake all by yourself."

"When everyone works together, the workload is smaller, and everyone can concentrate on their tasks."

"A refined division of labor is the mainstream of the future."

Zhang Lan's thinking was a bit ahead of its time.

The concept of fine division of labor is not yet emerging in the country.

The most typical example is: when a factory wants to make a workpiece, it goes through processes such as blanking, pre-treatment of surface burrs, chamfering, and welding.

Most factories employ a single master craftsman to complete the task.

It is named: Master-led, whole-process creation.

Before the reform and opening up, when efficiency was paramount, this kind of work process arrangement could still keep up with project schedules.

However, after the opening up, this process clearly became outdated.

Modern processes emphasize: cutting materials is cutting materials, grinding is grinding, and welding is welding.

This isn't your job, so you stay put!

A refined division of labor allows each position to leverage its technical strengths to the fullest.

Because workers don't need to be distracted by other processes, they can focus on their own workstations.

Therefore, Zhang Lan proposed a division of labor and outsourcing of tasks.

This idea had an impact on Wang Yue.

However, unable to resist Zhang Lan's insistence, and also wanting to receive the translation fee as soon as possible, he had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, Zhang Lan looked at Wang Yue but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

She took the initiative to address the students below, saying, "Hello everyone, I'm Wang Yue's roommate, from the Business Administration major next door."

In this era, this is a very advanced profession.

It has not yet been recognized and accepted by the market.

The management philosophy in mainland China is still in the process of slow transformation.

Many people believe that learning management from books is not as effective as gaining experience by working in a factory for three years.

Therefore, when Zhang Lan revealed her major, the students below remained silent.

This major...

The future is uncertain!

Zhang Lan continued, "That's right. Everyone here is learning Japanese, which is your advantage. You can't let this advantage go to waste."

"What I mean by wasting time is not academic progress, but practical skills."

“I have a batch of technical drawings from an island nation, and a client wants Wang Yue to translate them into Chinese.”

"This workload is neither too big nor too small, but I would like to ask all the students in the class to help divide the work and complete this task together."

The students below did not show any enthusiasm after hearing this.

There was even a hint of disgust.

In the past, teachers would occasionally assign tasks to students, usually books or materials from island nations, requiring them to translate them.

but……

All this work is for nothing, there are no benefits whatsoever, and if it's not completed on time, the teacher will even hold you back in your studies.

Everyone had their own grievances but dared not speak out.

A single sentence from a teacher can plunge a student into despair.

Now, Zhang Lan is asking us to translate the blueprints?

What are you thinking about!

You're not our teacher, you're just a student next door, what right do you have to make demands of us?

Wang Yue tugged at Zhang Lan's sleeve: "I told you it wouldn't work, let's just forget about it."

Zhang Lan remained completely unfazed, despite the unfriendly looks from her classmates, who seemed to be warning her who she was to dare make such demands of them.

Zhang Lan, however, possessed a unique beauty of being uninhibited and unpretentious: "Ahem, everyone, listen to me, don't rush off."

"There are more than 500 blueprints here. I'll pay five yuan for each one translated."

moment.

The more than twenty students in the audience stared wide-eyed.

What?

Pay me?

Are you kidding me?

Five yuan per sheet!

Oh my god!

Am I dreaming?

It's important to know that studying at Tsinghua University is extremely expensive.

Putting everything else aside, just the living expenses alone would easily amount to fifty or sixty yuan a month!

You get five yuan for translating one drawing now, so translating ten drawings would cover your living expenses for next month!

These students had also heard about it.

A female classmate majoring in welding next door was invited by a boss to provide technical guidance.

They get tens of thousands as soon as they appear!

Moreover, her teacher didn't ask for anything and even went along to oversee things.

All I can do is drool with envy.

However, although there is a high demand for Japanese language courses, teachers are all assigned tasks and don't offer any extra benefits.

Now.

They bypassed the teacher, made us translate directly, and even paid us?

This is just too wonderful!

The students became excited and crowded around.

A cacophony of voices:

"Wow, really? You're not kidding us, are you?"

"Really that much? I've seen some drawings that only require translating the workpiece name and dimensions."

"Wang Yue, is he reliable?"

"Could I get more blueprints?"

"How were they allocated?"
