Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory has been renamed Xiangyang Town Electrical Appliance Factory, and the new factory building has been built and is being painted.

The new factory building is built for the microwave oven production line. After the painting is completed and the power lines are connected in a few days, the microwave oven production line can be officially installed.

Of course, the production line equipment alone is not enough. Li Weidong also needs the technical support of Nakano Co., Ltd.

For China in 1991, microwave ovens were still a relatively high-end home appliance. If you wanted to produce microwave ovens, you still needed technical support from Japan.

But what worries Li Weidong the most now is not the factory building, the equipment, or the Japanese technical guidance, but the fact that there are no technicians in the electrical appliance factory.

The workers in the electrical appliance factory are all farmers from nearby villages and towns. Many of them have not even graduated from junior high school. Although after training, they can go on the production line to complete the production tasks of assembly line operations, but none of them are qualified for technical work.

The technicians Li Weidong needs at this stage are not the kind of high-end talents who are engaged in invention and research and development, but people who can solve technical problems in daily production.

It is difficult for Li Weidong to find this type of talent.

After all, it is a township enterprise and is inherently at a disadvantage when it comes to talent recruitment.

At that time, college students and technical secondary school students were all assigned. Li Weidong also thought about using this channel to obtain the talents he needed, but when he went to the Personnel Bureau to learn about it, he found that this was not feasible at all.

After China resumed the college entrance examination, higher education adopted a three-level system of state, department and local education.

The universities run by the state are all directly under the Ministry of Education. Basically, they are the future 985 and 211. The graduates of this type of universities are all popular, and various employers are rushing to get them. There are even some graduates.

The right to choose independently.

In terms of graduation distribution, graduates from institutions directly under the Ministry of Education are uniformly distributed by the state, and the location of the school can retain an appropriate commission, which is generally about 15%.

However, these institutions directly under the Ministry of Education are all located in big cities, so graduates retain their income in big cities.

The colleges and universities in charge of departments, such as railway colleges in the railway department, electric colleges in the electric power department, petroleum colleges in the petroleum department, etc., all train specialized talents for the system. In principle, they are allocated within the system, and the state will also

According to needs, a certain percentage will be drawn and then allocated to other positions.

The distribution of graduates from these two types of colleges and universities cannot reach the local level at all, let alone township enterprises like Li Weidong.

In principle, the higher education institutions run by local governments are allocated by the local government. Of course, the state will also draw a certain commission based on needs.

But it is a pity that there is only one Qinghe Normal College that can be called an institution of higher learning in Qinghe.

This is a college-type normal school that specializes in training teachers. In the era when college graduates were assigned jobs, being admitted to the normal school meant a lifelong job. No matter which school you were assigned to teach after graduation, you could not get away with the career job.

.And according to national policies, teachers are managed based on the cadre establishment.

Putting aside the matter of professional counterparts, no matter how talented Li Weidong is, he cannot recruit people from graduates of the Normal College. Let alone whether graduates are willing to come, there is also a policy threshold.

The state spends money to train normal students, so how can they be poached by companies?

The allocation of college students is not Li Weidong's turn, and the allocation of technical secondary school students cannot provide the talents Li Weidong needs.

Secondary technical schools are divided into department-run schools and local schools.

The basis for running schools in departments is to cultivate specialized talents for the system, which are also allocated within the system.

Local technical secondary schools can be allocated by the local government. Li Weidong thought of a way and worked hard to apply. It is possible to apply for a few technical secondary students.

However, in a small place like Qinghe, there are only three technical secondary schools, namely agricultural school, health school and technical school.

Agricultural schools train agricultural talents, such as agricultural technicians and agricultural machinery technicians; health schools train nurses and pharmacists; Qinghe City's technical schools have four majors, namely lathes, fitters, welders and electricians.

In other words, graduates from the three technical secondary schools are not qualified in their majors when it comes to making microwave ovens.

Since he could not obtain talents from the official allocation by the state, Li Weidong had no choice but to find other ways.

After thinking about it, Li Weidong decided to select some high school graduates with better science scores, recruit them to the factory first, and then slowly train them. At least the mathematics, physics and chemistry level of high school students will be much better than that of junior high school students.

At that time, college students and technical secondary school students were guaranteed jobs, but high school students were not guaranteed jobs. After graduating from high school, if they did not go to college, they would have to find their own jobs.

Moreover, the college admission rate in that era was very low, only about 20%, which meant that the vast majority of high school graduates failed to pass the college entrance examination. Every year, a large number of college entrance examination students failed, including many with excellent scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

If these high school graduates are recruited into the factory and trained for three to five years, they may be able to work independently.

There was really nothing he could do about this. In that environment at that time, Li Weidong could only select the talents he urgently needed from high school graduates who could not enter college.

At this time, Li Weidong thought of Lu Jianli, who was a physics teacher at the No. 2 Middle School in the city.

"Looks like I have to ask Lu Jianli for help!"

…

Second-hand inventor Lu Jianli is now very proud. After receiving funding from Li Weidong, he has applied for several national patents. Now he has become the "Little Patent Prince" of Qinghe City, and occasionally goes to report meetings on his advanced deeds.

It was summer vacation, and Lu Jianli spent every day squatting in the laboratory commissioned by the electrical appliance factory, immersed in various reliable or unreliable experiments.

Li Weidong knocked on the door and walked in. He saw Lu Jianli playing with a small motor that seemed to have been removed from a washing machine. I don't know what invention he was making.

"Director Li, long time no see, you are a rare visitor, please sit down quickly!" Lu Jianli pointed around, then laughed awkwardly.

Lu Jianli's laboratory is still very messy, and there is not even a place to sit.

"There's no need to sit down!" Li Weidong laughed, relieved Lu Jianli's embarrassment, and then said, "Teacher Lu, I came here to ask for something!"

"Director Li, if you want me to do something or improve something, just ask me directly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it! If I can't do it, I will help you think of a way!" Lu Jianli photographed

Said with chest.

"I'm not making anything this time." Li Weidong continued, "I would like to trouble Mr. Lu to help our factory recruit some talents."

"Recruiting talents?" Lu Jianli was a little confused.

He is very reliable when it comes to making unreliable inventions and creations, but he is unreliable when it comes to other reliable things.

Li Weidong continued: "Teacher Lu, it's like this, I'm going to start a microwave oven production line soon, so I want to recruit some technicians, but in our small temple, college students and technical secondary school students will not come, so I want to

Recruit some people from high school graduates.

Aren't you a physics teacher at No. 2 Middle School? So I thought about asking Teacher Lu to come forward and help me select some suitable talents among the graduates of your No. 2 Middle School to work in our factory. They are not workers, but all technical positions.

!

But as you know about the situation in our factory, township and village enterprises are not as good as state-owned enterprises, and there is no formal establishment. But I can guarantee that in terms of wages, they will never be less than state-owned enterprises!"

Lu Jianli nodded: "This is a good thing. It is difficult for these high school graduates to find a job. They are not good at high and low levels. Let them do manual labor. They think they are knowledgeable and are unwilling to do it; let them

Those who work in technical positions are not as professional as technical secondary school students.

There are quite a few high school graduates in our school who are unemployed at home! This matter will be taken care of by me. I will go to the school tomorrow and find the head teacher of the graduating class to find out about the situation and help you select a few people!"

"Teacher Lu, try to pick those with good scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Tell them that as long as they pass the probation period, I will give them a salary of 150 yuan!" Li Weidong said.

"150? So much? I want to apply!" Lu Jianli said.

For young people who had just graduated, a salary of 150 yuan was definitely a high salary at the time.

…

Li Weidong didn't know what kind of people Lu Jianli could recruit. Moreover, the high school graduates he recruited could at most be trained as ordinary technicians. If they were engaged in technology research and development, their abilities would definitely not be enough.

If it really comes to the level of technology research and development, it will still have to rely on highly educated college students or graduate students.

"Now that our business is getting bigger and bigger, we can't rely on a second-hand scientist like Lu Jianli. It's time to set up our own technology research and development team!"

On the way home, Li Weidong had been thinking about Shen Congzuo trading a house in Shanghai for a retired engine engineer.

To be precise, Shen Congzuo spent 30,000 yuan, and the retired engineer added his own savings to buy a house in Shanghai.

"A house in Shanghai can be exchanged for an experienced retired engineer. I wonder if a working engineer can be exchanged for a house? If it is a whole R&D team, how much will it cost? And the current housing prices in Shanghai

How much is it! It seems I have to go to Shanghai to investigate recently."

Li Weidong was thinking in his mind that the car had already arrived at the door of his house.

When I first entered the house, I saw my mother, Zhou Yunxiu, hanging out the freshly washed sheets in the yard.

"Mom, you are washing the sheets!" Li Weidong said then.

Zhou Yunxiu smiled and nodded: "Your uncle is coming again. I'll wash the sheets in the guest room quickly!"

"My uncle is coming again?" Li Weidong was stunned.

In 1991 in his previous life, Li Weidong was in Japan, so he has no memory of his uncle's visit.

Zhou Yunxiu continued, "This time your uncle's itinerary is the same as last time. He will first transfer to Hong Kong Island, then fly to Shanghai, where he will meet your aunt's relatives, and then come to our Qinghe."

"Does my uncle want to go to Shanghai first?" Li Weidong rolled his eyes and then said, "Mom, I don't think you want to let my uncle come over. It's very tiring after traveling and traveling. Let's go to Shanghai as a family to find my uncle."
