The provincial capital's top leaders came to Jiangcheng for inspection.
Mayor Cui didn't have anything particularly impressive to offer for the leaders to see.
After much thought, I've decided to focus my recent work on finding new employment.
Moreover, the technical school is quite good; many laid-off workers have learned skills there.
Opening a small shop and making a living shouldn't be a problem.
This further stimulated personal prosperity in Jiangcheng.
All of this stems from the technical school that Wu Changfeng co-founded.
There are technical schools in Jiangcheng, but they are not very specialized.
They were all teenagers who had graduated from junior high school and were still in their late teens; their personalities were unstable and immature.
Without experiencing the harsh realities of society, one doesn't know how tough life can be, and therefore doesn't take anything seriously in their studies.
But this vocational school is more targeted.
The main purpose is to open it up to people from all walks of life, whether they are young or middle-aged, treating everyone equally and starting from scratch.
They will not only teach you technical skills, but also how to do business.
Wu Changfeng would even come to the school from time to time to teach, sharing his experience in management and business.
Of course, they will also invite graduates and successful small business owners to come back and share their tips on opening a shop.
It can be said that this forms a very good virtuous cycle.
Therefore, Mayor Cui thought that since the top leader wanted to see it, he should bring out the technical school.
Therefore, a group of leaders came to the technical school for observation.
Initially, the senior leader was a little annoyed. "I'm a provincial-level cadre, and this is what you're showing me?"
At the very least, it needs to start as a trade city!
I heard that the trade city in Jiangcheng is doing quite well.
Mayor Cui believes that the Trade City simply seized the initiative. To put it bluntly, any city could do the same thing, whether it's on the left or right of Jiangcheng.
It all comes down to who can act first.
I don't feel a sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, Wu Changfeng and Lu Xingtao made a complete mess of things when building the trade city.
Don't bring up such trivial matters.
Let's take a look at our vocational schools; these aren't things that can be easily copied.
As the senior leader observed, he asked, "Not bad. What are your plans for these trainees after they complete their training?"
Does the top leader mean: once the training is over, they'll leave it to us?
Mayor Cui replied, "Sir, of course we have to take care of it. For example, if this hairdressing student wants to work in other hair salons, we can introduce him to some opportunities."
“If you want to open a shop, our city has special loans to support you.”
“Look at this trainee, he’s over thirty. He came here after being laid off and has already applied for the business license. The city has provided some support.”
The senior leader nodded: "That's very good, very thoughtful. Where does their tuition come from? Four thousand yuan is not cheap."
“Our city pays half, and the students pay the rest. Wu Changfeng also pays for the teaching staff, equipment, venue maintenance, and so on.”
The senior leader stroked his chin: "How could he be so kind? This guy is only after profit, he's obsessed with money, the kind who can't get out of it. The two thousand yuan from the students is enough to keep the business running, the rest is all his profit."
Mayor Cui smiled wryly; how could he not know Wu Changfeng's ulterior motives?
But this is something that can't be said outright.
How could the Jiangcheng government possibly have the time to manage this vocational school alone?
Isn't it all because of Wu Changfeng's people?
Furthermore, those excavators cost hundreds of thousands each, and there are no fewer than ten on the playground, meaning millions are just sitting here.
You can let the Jiangcheng government handle it; they're willing but powerless to do so!
However, Mayor Cui did not refute what the senior leader said.
As long as the big boss is happy.
The group arrived at the excavator site.
The area had already been dug into numerous pits and uneven ground, and the trainees were operating excavators to backfill and level the land.
The teacher held a red flag, blew a whistle, and constantly corrected the students' techniques.
He would also occasionally jump onto the excavator to correct mistakes.
The senior leader watched for a while with satisfaction, noting that the teaching was quite serious.
The teacher said: "There's no way around it, it's all tied to bonuses, you can't get in if you're not serious."
Each time a group of students graduates, they are required to fill out a satisfaction survey.
Forget about passing, even a "good" grade will result in a deduction of money!
This vocational school doesn't recruit students, it's like they're recruiting my ancestors.
The senior leader looked to one side, where a group of people were pointing and gesturing at the excavator trainees.
The senior leader didn't look like a staff member from a technical school, so he asked, "Xiao Cui, what do those people over there do?"
Mayor Cui scratched his head: "I'm not sure, let me ask."
A short while later, Mayor Cui returned with the news and said, "It's the CEO of a large construction company, surnamed Zhang. He's here to purchase equipment and also to check on the trainees, since excavators need drivers too."
"This is a good thing!" The top leader clapped his hands: "Isn't this exactly what targeted training is all about?"
"Yes, yes, excavator trainees are specifically trained."
The top leader waved his hand: "Come on, let's go over and have a chat."
Old Zhang and the others, along with Wang Hui, were all preparing to leave.
These trainees seem to have decent skills. I'll submit a report later and see if the company wants these drivers.
However, it's a bit of a problem, since the company's excavator operators are already at full capacity.
But these unregistered drivers are still very desirable.
The company is likely to be thrown into another bloodbath.
Old Zhang was even hesitant to think about offending anyone.
Just then, a group of people came to Old Zhang's side.
After the explanation, Old Zhang was shocked.
The person in front of me is actually the top official of Jiyang Province!
Old Zhang excitedly stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, leader, hello, leader."
The senior leader nodded and said, "I heard you've come to see the trainees?"
Old Zhang immediately replied, "Of course, of course. My company is currently undertaking a project. Just now, we came out of Qimingxing and ordered twenty excavators."
