Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 593 The excavator is really good!

Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company.

Yue Anan personally handed a cup of tea to Li Weidong, and continued, I heard that the students in the technical school were sent to Fukang Engineering next door for an internship before they graduated, and they will stay in the factory directly after the internship!

In fact, there is a lack of skilled workers here. If all the people go to Fukang Engineering, what will we do here! We also have to recruit a group of skilled workers every year! Chairman, you can't favor one person over another!

Don't worry, it won't delay your recruitment. Li Weidong continued: I just received a large order from an international exhibition recently, and Fukang Engineering's production capacity is a bit insufficient, so I temporarily transferred from the technical school. Some students went to help.

When these orders are completed, the students should go back to school. With the scale of the Fukang project, it still cannot absorb so many workers. I can't afford to support so many workers. Of course, some of them will also stay in the factory to work.

Wouldn't it be that all skilled workers were picked away by Fukang factory? Yue Ping'an said with some dissatisfaction.

Li Weidong opened his mouth and replied; People are interns at Fukang Engineering. During this process, Fukang Engineering has paid corresponding resources. It is understandable to let them give priority to selecting people! But you can discuss it with Ding Youliang later and let him Choose some of the better ones, and then give them to you.”

That's not what others picked! Yue Anan pouted.

My Mr. Yue, you can be content. These trainees have been in the workshop for a period of time after the internship in Fukang Engineering. Are they more skilled than the newcomers in terms of technology? You are taking advantage of it for nothing!

Li Weidong smiled, and continued, If you can take a big order and the factory's production capacity can't keep up, then I will transfer students from the technical school to come here for internships! You can choose people first.

It's so easy to find big orders! Our country is still dominated by small-scale farmers, and agricultural machinery is also sold scattered. It is rare to have large orders of tens of millions or hundreds of millions. As for overseas, they are from developed countries. The market is not our turn yet. Yue Ping'an sighed helplessly.

Li Weidong comforted him and said, Actually, you don't have to worry about recruiting. I predict that in the next few years, technical schools will usher in a wave of enrollment, and many people will choose technical jobs.

From the 1980s to last year, the number of newborns in our country exceeded 20 million every year, especially from 1985 to 1990, the years with the largest number of births in our country.

Now that this generation is about to complete the nine-year compulsory education, our country will also usher in a wave of demographic dividends. At that time, there will definitely be no fewer students who will enter performance learning. The number of students will increase, and there will always be more excellent technicians.

That doesn't necessarily mean they all go to learn mechanics. I heard that pastry chefs and beauty salons have always been popular majors. Yue Anan said.

In the next ten years, the income of the service industry will still be lower than that of the manufacturing industry. And after this time, going to Fukang Engineering for an internship will have the opportunity to stay in the factory and work directly, which should make many people come to the technical school to enroll in electrical welding, machine tools and other majors.

Li Weidong paused, and continued: After all, the purpose of learning technology is to find a job. As long as the job prospects are good, there will be no worries about no students. I heard that the admissions office of the technical school is almost crowded.

There were seven or eight people queuing in front of the public phone booth, and Li Tieniu was one of them.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Li Tieniu's turn. He took out the phone card, entered the card number and password, and then made a call.

There is a high probability that the post-00s have never had direct contact with public phones. These days, public phone booths are probably only found in places like international airports.

Public telephones are relatively common overseas, not to mention those places where infrastructure has not been updated for decades, even in countries with relatively developed mobile communications such as Japan and South Korea, roadside or some public facilities,

You can still see the public phone booth.

The most important thing is that some public phones also support mobile payment, which is more powerful. I take a smart phone, find a phone booth to call a public phone, and then I can scan the code to pay for the phone bill. It is a ghostly design!

Many public phones abroad are coin-operated. Although domestic public phones can also be coin-operated, most of them still use phone cards.

There are also many types of telephone cards, such as magnetic cards and IC cards, which can be used directly by inserting them into public telephones.

There are also those that need to enter the account password, similar to the mobile phone recharge cards of later generations, you must insert the card before using it, remember the account number and password, and you must enter the account password before making a call.

At that time, the price of mobile phones was still relatively expensive, and even if the price of mobile phones began to drop later, the cost of mobile phone calls was relatively high for a long time.

The most deceitful thing is that the mobile phone at that time not only cost money to make a call, but also cost money to the party who answered the phone. It was a real two-way fee. It's a long story, then hang up the phone quickly.

So there was a very strange phenomenon at that time. After the phone rang, the person took out the phone and said I'll get back to you, then hung up the phone, picked up the landline, called the other party back, and the two talked again. matter.

In that era, if someone told you I'll go back to you, it was not because he had something to do and didn't have time to answer the phone, but because he didn't want to pay for answering the phone. If the other party says I'll get back to you later, they must be looking for a landline.

Ordinary wage earners are obviously reluctant to pay the high cost. As a result, all kinds of public telephone booths have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The relatively low price is widely welcomed by the public, and communication with family members is more convenient and faster.

In that era, every time it was time to get off work, migrant workers would flock to the public phone booths, eager to talk to their families on the phone, and queuing was a common occurrence.

Especially in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, migrant workers from other places are relatively concentrated. Since everyone’s work and rest time is similar, they will gather together to make calls. , After a phone call, an average of half a box of throat lozenges is consumed.

Li Tieniu's home does not have a telephone, so his call went directly to the village committee.

After a while, the loudspeaker of the village committee shouted from the receiver: Li Dashan, Li Dashan, your Li Tieniu is calling!

After waiting for a long time, the voice of his father Li Dashan finally came from the phone.

Father, I made money! Li Tieniu said excitedly.

Make money? What kind of money do you earn? Didn't you ask you to learn a craft well? If you can't learn a craft, what kind of money do you earn! Li Dashan said.

Father, I earn money through handicrafts. Didn't I go to Fukang Engineering for an internship two days ago? I told you on the phone before. Now that the internship is over, the internship salary has also been paid. I have paid back a few hundred yuan! Li Tieniu said.

Didn't you learn skills from the master during your internship? Why did they give you money when you learned skills from others? Li Dashan asked puzzled.

Father, the boss of the Fukang Engineering Factory is a nice person, and he pays wages for apprenticeships. Li Tieniu said.

Really, is there such a good thing? You won't be cheated, right? Li Dashan asked suspiciously.

Father, don't worry, I have not been cheated, and I have already got the money. Li Tieniu said.

Then this factory is not bad. Even the apprentices are paid wages, so they will definitely not be in arrears of wages! Tieniu, let me tell you, you should go to a place where you don't owe wages when you work, don't be like your uncle. Well, if you go out to work and meet a boss who has no conscience, and you don’t pay your wages after the new year, then that year is a waste of time!” Li Dashan exhorted.

Li Tieniu said, Father, let me tell you another piece of good news. The factory where I practiced felt that I did a good job and decided to hire me. The contract has been signed, and I will be a worker from now on!

Really? Li Dashan was also surprised, and then asked; When I went to that technical school to study, didn't it say that it only taught skills and didn't cover assignments? Why are you still a worker?

I don't know. Those who went with me became workers if they did a good job. Many people went to another factory nearby and became workers too. I think it's the same as assigning work! Li Tieniu said.

The news that Li Tieniu became a worker in the city quickly spread in the village.

At the same time, another piece of news was spread, that is, going to a technical school to assign a job!

As soon as the news came out, the village exploded.

Around 2000, urban hukou no longer had any advantages, but for most rural people, they still longed to work and live in the city, and longed to become urban people.

Being a worker in a factory is a symbol of being a city person in the eyes of ordinary rural people. Zhao Tieniu, a native rural boy, was assigned a job after attending a technical school and became a city person. , is one step to the sky!

On the second day, Zhao Dashan's house became lively, and there was an endless stream of people visiting, not only from his own village, but also from the village next door. Their own children also become workers.

At the same time, the number of people applying to technical schools has also increased several times. Everyone is aiming at assigning work.

At that time, even college students were not assigned jobs. Coupled with the wave of layoffs in the late 1990s, it also impacted the employment situation of young people.

Now a school that can assign jobs suddenly popped up, and it was a technical school that could be attended by money, which naturally attracted many people to sign up.

Moreover, these applicants all chose manufacturing-related technical majors such as electric welding and lathes, and made it clear that they hoped to become workers in Fukang Engineering or Fukang Agricultural Machinery in the future.

Even though the school admissions office has repeatedly emphasized that the so-called assignment work is actually only a part of it, and only excellent students have the chance to be retained by Fukang Project. Others still need to find jobs on their own, but the applicants are still There is an endless stream.

Almost everyone believed that he was the excellent student and would definitely be selected by the factory to become a proper worker.

People always have a sense of expectation for the future, and the longer the expectation, the more unrealistic it is.

For example, if you ask junior high school students, they all say that they will go to Tsinghua University to go to Peking University in the future; when they enter the first year of senior high school, their goals become 985 and 211; Thank you for your undergraduate degree!

India, Bangalore, is the third largest city in India, and it is also a place boasted by Indians as India's Silicon Valley.

When India was just independent, India's founding Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru selected Bangalore as India's high-tech development base. Because the driver here has a pleasant climate and a good environment, it is suitable for human habitation, and it is very suitable for the development of precision manufacturing.

The Indian government has also moved many state-owned scientific research institutions to Bangalore, such as the Defense Research and Development Organization responsible for rocket and satellite space research, the Indian Scientific Research Organization, the National Aviation Laboratory, and so on.

In the 1970s, India began to carry out education reform again, and many universities were moved to Bangalore, such as Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Management, Indian Institute of Information Technology and other famous Indian universities, all gathered here.

In the 1980s, Bangalore began to attract the attention of international high-tech companies. At that time, many international high-tech companies entered Bangalore one after another in order to enter the Indian market.

For example, Texas Instruments entered Bangalore in 1987, IBM entered in 1991, and General Electric also set up a research and development center in Bangalore. At that time, Bangalore really had the momentum to become the technology center of Asia.

Entering the 21st century, India has finally become the world's largest IT wage earner. Especially after the Internet bubble burst, many American companies contracted out their software business to India in order to solve the cost. In the peak century, nearly 50% of the output value of the world's software industry came from India.

In fact, the work that India is responsible for hardly involves core research and development. It mainly provides software outsourcing services. It is the same logic as the transfer of labor-intensive industries from Europe and the United States to developing countries. It is just clothes and shoes that have become software. Serve.

For example, if you complain to an Internet company in the United States, the person who receives you is not an American, but a customer service in India, and it is not an American who solves your problem, but an Indian company outsourced by the United States.

It is precisely because it does not involve core R\u0026D that there has never been a world-class technology company in India, and India, the so-called software power, has not been able to produce a world-renowned application.

Many indian blowers in later generations talk about how powerful India's IT industry is every day. In fact, as early as 2018, the IT output value of a city in Shenzhen exceeded that of India as a whole. In the following years, the gap continued to widen.

India's software outsourcing services actually rely on enough code farmers. However, with the development of technology today, software automation, robot consulting technology, and big data analysis are becoming more and more mature, which greatly reduces the demand for software coolies.

To give a simple example, the customer service of many large companies used to be manual, but now they all use intelligent AI services, and even many online stores use AI customer service, and there is no need for manual labor at all.

The development of software automation, AI functions, and big data analysis is obviously a fatal blow to India's IT industry. India lacks core technology research and development, and if it only provides outsourcing services, the future of the IT industry will only decline.

However, in 2000, India's software service industry was still very strong. Bangalore gathered the most software coolies in the world to provide services for European and American countries.

Therefore, at this time, Bangalore is undergoing massive construction and construction of various buildings and infrastructure to meet the needs of the development of the it industry.

On a construction site, an Indian driver was sitting in the cab of the excavator, fiddled with the joystick.

The excavator driven by the driver was produced by Fukang Engineering.

Not far away, a few children picking up trash were staring at the excavator with curious expressions.

The driver looked at these children and shouted loudly: Get out of here, is this a place for you to come?

The children were so frightened that they ran away quickly.

These children are untouchables in India.

India's caste system divides Indians into four grades, from high to low, namely Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra. In addition, there is an untouchable, which is commonly known as The untouchables.

The untouchables have a very low social status in Indian society, they can even be said to have no status, and they can only do the most menial jobs.

It may be difficult for foreigners to distinguish Indian castes, but Indians can tell them at a glance.

Although the driver was not of a high caste, he still looked down on the untouchables. The driver was very upset when he was surrounded by untouchable children. He felt that the untouchables were not qualified to watch his work, so he directly scolded the children.

And the children of untouchables also know that they are as cheap as ants, and they can only leave quickly after being scolded by people of caste.

After driving away the child, the driver continued to operate and play stunts, only to see that the driver dug a few more shovels, and then the shovel stopped digging a little bit, and the engine started to smoke, and then simply turned off the engine.

This excavator is broken! The driver was not in a hurry, but a smile appeared on his face.

The excavator is broken, so he can rest today, and he will get a lot of salary!

The excavator imported this time is really good. If it breaks down every three days, I can also rest with it! the driver said to himself.

No pop-up window, timely update!
