"Xiao Feng, you have cheated me and asked me to be the child king in this place where birds do not shit."

In a slightly dilapidated factory courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, Xue Mucang said to Feng Xiaochen half-jokingly and half-seriously. Behind them, the jeep that Feng Xiaochen borrowed from the Linbei Heavy Machinery Procurement Station was parked. They just took this jeep and came to this abandoned factory area that was quite a distance from the city.

The proposal to establish a higher technical normal school was finally approved by the leaders of the Economic Commission. The leaders of the Economic Commission were also full of practical experience and knew the current situation of the shortage of senior technicians in the enterprise. The Economic Commission was willing to take the lead in building such a technical normal school. The Economic Commission was naturally happy to see it. However, as Feng Xiaochen and Wu Shican estimated in advance, the Economic Commission could not solve the school's establishment nor provide the required funds. Everything needed to be raised by the Economic Commission itself. The Economic Commission only gave verbal support.

After careful consideration, Luo Xiangfei figured out the significance of running such a school for reinstallation. First of all, the current 11 major equipment projects are under the pressure of worker training, and such a school plays an important role in alleviating pressure; secondly, through standardized training, technical workers in various enterprises can be made to have a certain degree of universality, which will help reinstallation and work together to mobilize the forces of different enterprises to focus on key issues in the future. Finally, once such a school is completed, it can strengthen the power of reinstallation and expand its influence. Of course, Luo Xiangfei does not want his subordinates to have only more than 20 people. The larger the scale, the greater the power, and no leader will think that he has too many subordinates.

After receiving the approval of the leaders of the Economic Commission, Luo Xiangfei immediately transferred Xue Mucang to serve as the preparatory team leader of the Technical Normal School. At the same time, he announced that after the school was established, Xue Mucang would serve as the first principal. Xue Mucang was originally a legendary technical expert, with wide connections, strong affinity and organizational ability, so he was naturally a material for being a principal.

Although Wu Shican and Feng Xiaochen are advocates of this matter, one is responsible for tracking the cutting-edge technology, and the other is Luo Xiangfei's most capable pioneer. Luo Xiangfei naturally won't let them fall into the school matter, but just ask them to help Xue Mucang do some preliminary preparations first. After the school is built, they should go back and do their own business.

After discussion, Wu Shican was responsible for the task of preparing teaching plans and writing textbooks for the school. Of course, these tasks were not completed by him personally, but were required to contact experts from some universities and some research institutes to assist in completing them. Based on the needs of equipment manufacturing companies, the school has initially prepared four majors: CNC machine tool operation, casting, welding, assembly, and other majors such as heat treatment and flaw detection will be added in the future according to the situation.

All these professional training will target international advanced levels, which is completely different from the entry-level technical schools run by the labor department. In order to meet such training requirements, in addition to seconding senior technicians from various companies, some experts with an international perspective are also needed, and foreign training technicians may even be introduced.

Feng Xiaochen's task is to follow Xue Mucang to run errands and implement issues such as school site, faculty, equipment, and funding. In this regard, Xue Mucang has certain abilities, while Feng Xiaochen's strength lies in his unique ability and being able to solve some problems that ordinary people cannot solve.

Xue Mucang contacted more than a dozen units in the name of the reinstallation office, and found such a factory. It turned out to be a machinery factory, which belongs to an industrial bureau in Beijing. In the past two years, the country adjusted its economic structure, closed down and transferred a number of enterprises, and the company was also closed, and its factory was idle. The Industrial Bureau was also having a headache about the disposal of this factory. He heard that the reinstallation office was going to borrow it, but the leaders of the Industrial Bureau only felt that they were sleepy and had hit a pillow, and they couldn't get it. They didn't ask for a penny, so they handed over the factory to Xue Mucang, claiming that they could use it.

The factory area is not large, which is about 150 acres, with four factories, office buildings, dormitories and other buildings. The factory area is well green. It was autumn, and golden ginkgo leaves fell all over the ground, looking colorful and a bit poetic. If such a factory area is placed in the future, it can be changed into a creative park and attract a group of artists to move in. However, it is not the era of the flood of artists, and no one will be interested in this old factory.

The school site has been implemented, and the next step is funding. Feng Xiaochen called Pan Caishan, the head of the Lengshui Iron Mine, and told the matter of building a technical normal school for the reinstallation office. Pan Caishan heard Feng Xiaochen's implicit meaning and readily agreed to sponsor 20,000 yuan as the school's startup fund.

This money was actually taken out from the stone factory in the cold water mine. The stone factory was able to establish and export stone to Germany, all relying on Feng Xiaochen's help. Later, when the stone factory encountered an electricity use crisis, Feng Xiaochen went to Pinghe Power Plant to help get the electricity use indicators, which prevented the stone factory from facing the misfortune of shutdown. From this perspective, Pan Caishan's 20,000 yuan to support Feng Xiaochen was not an exaggeration at all.

If Pan Caishan gave this money to Feng Xiaochen himself, it would be a big trouble. The 20,000 yuan received from the company was enough to let Feng Xiaochen sit in prison. But the money used for sponsorship and reinstallation will have no problem and can withstand all scrutiny.

"20,000 yuan is enough to deal with it for a while."

After Xue Mucang heard that the money from the cold water mine was received, he happily said to Feng Xiaochen.

Feng Xiaochen was not as optimistic as Xue Mucang. He calculated to Xue Mucang with his fingers: "If we recruit 500 students, one student can only get 40 yuan in funds on average. Not to mention hiring teachers, this money is not enough. A technical normal school like this should be supported by the state finance. Without millions of dollars a year, it will not be effective at all."

"Xiao Feng, you are so ideal." Xue Mucang educated Feng Xiaochen with his old qualifications, "Owning this technical normal school is a matter of reorganization and we have to apply for national financial funds, and we must apply for approval at all levels, and it will definitely not be approved in the end. The State Administration of Labor has its own technical normal school. If we open another stall, the country will definitely not approve it. Therefore, if you want to do things, you can only beg for alms by yourself. For example, you can get 20,000 yuan from a cold water mine, which is very good."

"It seems that good people will be rewarded. When I came up with ideas for the Lengshui Mine, I really didn't expect to reach out to them one day to beg for alms." Feng Xiaochen sighed.

Xue Mucang said: "We are in the agency, and it is very troublesome to use some money. Even if we can apply for it, the projects that spend money are strictly controlled, and many expenses are not allowed to be reimbursed. It is much more convenient for enterprises to use money, so ministries and commissions often have to go to the following enterprises to beg for alms, and you will gradually get used to it."

"I'm afraid I can't get used to it." Feng Xiaochen smiled and waved his hand, "This is only once, I won't beg for the case. From now on, if you want to beg for alms in a company, you should do it yourself."

"This is not possible. The matter was born between you and Lao Wu, and you have to take care of it to the end." Xue Mucang said.

Xue Mucang said that, he actually had some plans in his mind. Regarding the establishment of a technical normal school, the reinstallation office has contacted and solicited their opinions. These companies have shown great enthusiasm for this matter, claiming that they hope that the school will start as soon as possible, and they are willing to arrange workers to come to the school for formal training. As long as the training is done, the school can ask each company to pay the training fee, which is actually a kind of begging for alms. For large equipment companies, the expenditure of tens of thousands of yuan is not a problem, and this money is quite considerable for a school.

"Xiao Feng, what are your considerations about the operation of this school?"

Walking with Feng Xiaochen on the main road of the factory covered with ginkgo leaves, Xue Mucang asked seriously. After a period of contact, Xue Mucang had already realized the openness of Feng Xiaochen's thinking, and he believed that Feng Xiaochen could give him some good inspiration.

"High standards." Feng Xiaochen said without hesitation, "Just let the labor department do ordinary technician training. We reinstall and handle major equipment, so our talent training must be aimed at senior technicians. The people we train must reach the level of technicians. Even if we cannot achieve it when we graduate, we should be able to achieve it in a few years."

"I think so too." Xue Mucang said, "I have been working on some unemployed young people and teach for a few years and arrange a job. I, Lao Xue, don't be happy to do this kind of thing, and then I will really become the king of children. The concept you and Lao Wu proposed is quite good, called the technician teacher. We are not cultivating ordinary apprentices, but cultivating senior workers who can be masters. However, in this way, our school pressure will be greatly reduced."

"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb." Feng Xiaochen said something very popular at the time with a giggle.

Xue Mucang said, "That's right, I, Lao Xue, also like to do some difficult things. Otherwise, I will only repair the house and give out bath tickets in my life, and I will have nothing to brag about when I retire. However, you have to help me in this matter. If you don't help, I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Old Xue, what are you saying? You are more than twice my age, so I actually asked me to help you. Director Luo has already said that I am just preparing for you. I will definitely not be able to get involved in the subsequent things. You can only recruit soldiers and cultivate your own team."

Xue Mucang said: "I don't need you to help me do anything else. I just need you to give me an idea."

"What's the idea?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"How to make money?" Xue Mucang said seriously.
