The greatest scientific and technological achievement of human society in this century is the invention and application of computers. The application of computer and control technology in machinery manufacturing equipment is the most significant technological progress in the development of manufacturing industry in the century.

It has been 47 years since the first CNC milling machine came out in the United States in 1952. CNC equipment includes turning, milling, machining centers, boring, grinding, stamping, electrical processing and all kinds of special machines, forming a huge family of CNC manufacturing equipment, with an annual output of 100,000 to 200,000 units in the world, and an output value of tens of billions of dollars.

The world's manufacturing industry has experienced several iterations in the past ten years at the end of this century, and it is almost about to become a sunset industry, so the Americans first proposed to revitalize the modern manufacturing industry. In the nineties, the world's CNC machine tool manufacturing industry has undergone a major reorganization, such as the United States, Germany and other major manufacturers have undergone great changes, from the early nineties has seen a significant rebound, in the world manufacturing industry to form a new wave of technological updates, and the German machine tool industry after the transformation, the order has been lined up for about half a year.

Fan Wuxian took the time to visit Minister Zhang of the General Armament Department, this Shen Ying's uncle is now a hot and powerful figure in the military, for no other reason, the main reason is that the whole army is currently facing the replacement of equipment to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and it needs to rely on the strong support of the General Armament Department.

Once a certain unit has changed its equipment as soon as possible and has been able to devote itself to actual combat training to enhance its combat effectiveness, then it is much more likely that they will enter the main combat unit, their remuneration can be improved as soon as possible, and as a leader, they will be more likely to be promoted.

Today's high-level concept of governing the army is to be less but better. In order to make effective use of the limited military spending, redundant troops naturally have to be removed, and it is very likely that there will be another large-scale disarmament in the near future, and no one wants to be laid off, so the influence of the General Armament Department in the military has become very important for a while, and Minister Zhang's house is even more lively.

Fan Wuxian was reluctant to go to his house to affect his rest, so according to the procedure of discussing official business, he directly contacted the General Armament Department and asked them to arrange a meeting between the two people.

After all, Fan's Investment Group is about to enter the domestic military production industry, and as the only private enterprise that has obtained the military production license, it is possible to set up the largest and most extensive weapons and equipment production enterprise in China, and the General Armament Department also has great expectations for the Southeast Heavy Industry Group.

Minister Zhang soon met with Fan Wuxi, and then the two of them began to discuss this time.

"The domestic CNC machine tool manufacturing industry had a stage of rapid development in the eighties, and many machine tool factories realized the transformation from traditional products to CNC products. But in general, the level of technology was not high, and the quality was not good, so in the early nineties, facing the adjustment of the country's economy from a planned economy to a market economy, it experienced several years of the most difficult depression period, when the production capacity fell to less than half and the inventory exceeded four months. Minister Zhang used to be engaged in military management, so when he talked about the matter in front of him with Fan Wuxi, the idea was quite clear, "Since 1995, the country has started the machine tool market from expanding domestic demand. Strengthen the approval of restrictions on the import of CNC equipment, and focus on supporting key CNC systems, equipment, and technical research, which has played a great role in promoting the production of CNC equipment, especially after the bombing of the embassy this year, the state plans to invest a lot of technical transformation funds in the national defense industry and key civilian industrial sectors, so that the CNC equipment manufacturing market feels that spring is coming. ”

Despite this, there are many problems in the domestic CNC machine tool industry, for example, the current market competition is only a low-tech level of product competition, relying on each other to promote prices, high-tech level, full-featured products mainly rely on imports, supporting high-quality functional components, CNC system accessories are mainly imported.

After listening to Minister Zhang's words, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but nodded.

He also has some understanding of this matter, because when he was preparing for several high-tech enterprises, he also encountered such a problem, not only the lack of advanced CNC equipment, but also the scarcity of technical personnel who can control CNC equipment.

Due to the low level of application technology, the networking technology has not been fully popularized, and the ability to develop itself is poor.

At present, China is the country with the largest number of machine tools in the world, but the numerical control rate of machine tools is less than two percent. This is too far from the fact that Western industrial countries can generally achieve more than 20 percent.

In order to realize the transformation of the machine tool industry, the State Council has made a budget, even if it costs billions of dollars a year to import about 10,000 CNC machine tools, it is difficult to greatly increase the numerical control rate in the industry. Therefore, the State Development Planning Commission and the Economic and Trade Commission have put forward the principle of numerical control transformation, proposing that the amount of equipment that can be transformed into numerical control can reach about 100,000 units, and more than 10 billion yuan of funds will be invested, but the economic benefits obtained will be more than five times the investment.

"In fact, the biggest obstacle is still in terms of funding." Minister Zhang said to Fan Wuxi, "Without money, nothing can be done, although next year's military spending will be tilted to the General Armament Department, but it is still too difficult to take into account the military enterprises involved in the transformation of numerical control technology." ”

"It is for this reason that I will consider developing and manufacturing advanced CNC machine tools by myself." Fan replied, "Once the advanced CNC machine tools we independently developed and manufactured can be used, the savings will be considerable." ”

"We are also discussing this matter in the ministry in the past few days-" Minister Zhang explained to Fan Wuxian, "everyone's opinion is that since the Southeast Heavy Industry Group will serve the military in the future, then at this time during the preparation period, the military can also lend you some technical experts to help you enter the role as soon as possible." ”

"You are really my uncle!" Fan Wuxian was overjoyed when he heard this.

The biggest problem in the formation of new enterprises is the need to introduce a large number of skilled workers and a considerable number of technical experts, and at present, in addition to some relatively old technical schools that are dedicated to training skilled workers for enterprises, there is no special professional technical personnel training base, as for the technical experts are quite a lot.

But technical experts are all masters, how can they casually switch jobs to their own side to work? This time, Minister Zhang said that the technical experts of the General Armament Department will help Fan's Investment Group to set up Southeast Heavy Industry Group and enter operation as soon as possible, which makes Fan Wuxian very happy. The one thing that worries me the most is that it has been successfully solved.

"Don't be too happy, it's no problem to lend you someone, but you have to pay the wages of these people yourself, and you can't let them be treated worse than in me." Minister Zhang looked ecstatic when he saw Fan Wuxi, and couldn't help but smile and smile.

"That's not really a problem." Fan Wuxian thought to himself, what is money? If you can make good use of these people, and then train a large number of practical technical talents for yourself, then you will earn it.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these people all have military backgrounds and their appearance is too ugly, Fan Wuxian would have the heart to take these experts for himself, and what is most valuable in the information age is naturally a professional talent.

After some discussion, the General Armament Department sponsored Fan Wuzhi 200 various technical experts, Fan Wuzhi thought about it himself, Panshi Heavy Industry can pull out two or three hundred technical experts, plus dozens of senior experts in his hands, can completely build the skeleton of this Southeast Heavy Industry Group.

All in all, what is lacking most today is a large number of skilled workers.

At present, the dependence of vocational education on vocational needs in China is still relatively low, and the degree of benign interaction between vocational education and vocational needs has been relatively low for a long time.

The traditional concept of "emphasizing literature over technology, learning and excellence" is deep-rooted, which restricts the development of domestic vocational education.

Judging from the current situation in most parts of the country, many people are hopeless in high school, or hopeless in the college entrance examination. In order to get a skill, I had to transfer to a vocational and technical school to learn.

The dependence of domestic social and economic development on vocational education is still not high, the salary given by enterprises and institutions to vocational education graduates is not high, and many people still think that vocational education is inferior education.

The asymmetry in the status and identity of vocational education in the process of its development has also caused the domestic vocational education to be unacceptable as the same level of content as general education, which has led to the increasing employment pressure of college graduates on the one hand, and the serious shortage of skilled talents on the other hand.

Taking Shenzhen as an example, there has been a shortage of migrant workers in the past few years, but according to various surveys and analyses, what really exists in Shenzhen is not a shortage of migrant workers, but a shortage of skilled workers. There is a shortage of more than 50,000 skilled talents in Shenzhen. With the development of society, this gap will probably grow to more than 300,000 people in a few years.

The shortage of skilled talents has become a bottleneck to enhance the ability of independent innovation, promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, change the mode of economic growth, and improve the level of industrial technology.

"For a long time, domestic vocational education has been too campus-based, lacking sociality, too standardized, lacking vocationalism, too academic, and lacking practicality." Fan Wuxian couldn't help but say to Minister Zhang, "Vocational education in China is mainly based on school classroom education, and there is a certain gap between schools and social organizations and production enterprises, and there is a phenomenon of emphasizing theory, ignoring practice, emphasizing academic qualifications and ignoring skills." Secondary vocational education is managed in a fragmented manner, and most vocational schools are converted from ordinary secondary schools, which have not broken away from the model of general education and are at a disadvantage in competition with ordinary schools. Higher vocational education tends to become a compressed undergraduate education, and it also does not get rid of the model of theoretical education. If this situation does not change, the shortage of skilled workers will not be solved. ”

"What's your best idea about this?" Minister Zhang asked.

Fan Wuxian has been studying this issue for a while, so when Minister Zhang asked, he said, "Of course, it is a norm to promote the cooperation between vocational education and enterprise training." ”

School-enterprise cooperation is a form of direct integration between the small classroom of vocational schools and the social environment, and it is also a process of encouraging enterprises to participate in education and teaching and providing students with participation in social practice.

Vocational education through school-enterprise integration has enabled Germany to rise from the ashes, Japan to take off from the trough, the United States to become an economically developed country, and the rest of the world to more clearly understand the necessity of combining industry and academia.

The typical pattern is basically the same across countries, with full-time alternations, that is, semesters of full-time classroom study alternated with semesters of full-time work, and the length of time spent working and on-campus semesters was roughly equal. There is also a parallel mode, that is, in the form of part-time work and study. There are also combinatorial alternating or combinatorial parallelism, which is a combination of the first two modes.

"In this way, if we organize a group of teachers, and you provide practice bases and students, you can soon cultivate a group of usable talents." Minister Zhang is very interested, "Recently, due to the impact of the financial crisis, the employment rate of university graduates has not been very satisfactory. If we can recruit a group of college students in related majors and spend three to six months of intensive training, I believe the effect will be better, and after the training is completed, this is a group of available talents. Subsequently, a steady stream of technical talents can be cultivated, which can not only be digested by themselves, but also transferred to other employers for use. ”

Fan Wuxian listened to Minister Zhang's words, nodded in agreement, in fact, what he lacks now is the faculty, the graduates of the university, especially the graduates of the engineering major, because of the two years of poor efficiency of state-owned enterprises, has been difficult to distribute, if there is this opportunity for them, I believe that it is easy to be able to recruit all kinds of talents they hope to absorb, after a period of practical training, they can indeed be qualified for some important jobs in Southeast Heavy Industry.

"There's just a problem." Minister Zhang remembered something again, so he frowned and said to Fan Wuxi, "Recently, many students majoring in automation engineering and numerical control have changed careers to engage in the IT industry. ”

"There's nothing to worry about." Fan Wuxian replied confidently, "As long as the first two phases are overcome, the popularity of the Internet should decline, and it will be much easier to recruit a little bit of computer-related graduates when the time comes, and you will only think that there are too many people who come to apply for the job." ”

At this point, Fan Wuxian only wondered why the NASDAQ didn't collapse quickly, the sooner they collapsed, the more human resource costs and various inputs on his side would drop a lot, which was a real profit.

There are no pop-ups
