Obviously, Lao Ba fully knew Cheng Dong's thoughts, and he immediately said to Cheng Dong, you don't know, the two schools of Zhuyuan and Sunflower now, looking at the number of students, are quite large, the problem is that if you carefully count on your fingers, most of them are children who can't quench their thirst far from water.

And almost all the boys who graduated in the second half of this year will be sent to work in Wang Gong's slipway, in addition to the existing railway transportation of Line 9 at home is also inseparable from you, another reason is that even if your plan is approved, you can't be implemented by a single commander of the light pole, because the bamboo garden and sunflower can't spare personnel to support you.

So this year, it is almost impossible for your railway company project to be approved by the "Northbound Fund".

But as far as I know, Xiao Yu didn't support your railway construction plan, for example, he approved the railway project on Zixia Island, right?

Of course, the main reason is that the labor conditions of that project in Zixia Island are relatively good, and it doesn't cost much silver, and the human-powered rail car transportation has no technical content, which is simple and easy to implement and does require - you see, this is the basic idea and logic of the board of directors of the "Northbound Fund" at present, so it is normal that your huge overseas railway construction plan is not approved - silver and labor are currently bottlenecks for us.

Of course, silver is actually easy to do, and the most important thing is actually the labor force and talent factor, because this involves the direction of our talent and labor distribution in the near future.

Seeing that Cheng Dong was still worried, Lao Ba turned around and put down his briefcase, took out a form from the drawer of the table and said to his brothers-

By the way, I will report a few statistics to you, at present, there are a total of 4,581 male and female students in the two schools, which seems to be a lot of people, but more than two-thirds of them are underage children, reaching 3,200! Surprised, right? And the average age of these children is only 10 years old, and you should know what that means.

Although about 10 percent of the children will be 16 years old next year, more than 150 of them will reach the age of 18.

However, if the Federal Board of Education still insists on the eighteen-year-old adult standard and does not relax the age of graduate domestic workers to sixteen, then next year there will only be a hundred and fifty students graduating from Zhuyuan and Sunflower! That's right, that's all!

Moreover, girls make up the majority of them - there are 93 girls and less than 60 boys.

This is not surprising, after all, in this patriarchal era, the difficulty of **** is much greater than that of ****, and this social phenomenon is fully reflected in the gender ratio of school students in bamboo gardens and sunflowers.

So in desperation, Mr. Zhao's Baisha Group also had to recruit girls from the sunflowers, but even so, there were not many people who could give them - there were less than twenty girls, and according to the plan of the Education Committee, most of the remaining girls would stay in school to teach, including going to Zhuyuan to be teachers, and some would be sent overseas.

As for the boys, they will hardly stay in school again, first of all, the slipway, Wang Gong will definitely have to go more than half of it, and the rest will go to work in major companies, Wang Gong's side, the girls will probably only have one or two miscellaneous jobs, after all, the little girls there can't do the manual work.

"Do most of the boys go to the slipway? What about my railway company? ”

Cheng Dong couldn't help but blurt out when he heard this.

Obviously, he keenly felt that even next year, his railway system will not receive enough talent support, and without talent support, how can the railway company do it?

When Cheng Dong thought of this situation, he suddenly became a little anxious.

Lao Ba listened to it and quickly explained, Well, recently, Sun Lao, Wang Gong, and I communicated with Captain Gu, and I still think that shipbuilding is the top priority at present, I believe that we should all have feelings recently, once we are involved in a large-scale operation, the Pride and Nicole will be completely insufficient, and it will affect the business too much.

You know, overseas trade is our lifeline, the volume of trade determines our income and profits, and the reality is that the volume of trade depends on how much we can ship out, you see, that's the reality – our strength depends on our sea power, at least for now.

This is the fundamental reason why Sinseong is important to us, because at least some of the merchandise is not shipped out of the Nicole and Pride.

Especially Nicole, the current transportation task is too heavy, in order to transport immigrants, you see that the Nicole is running down this circle, not to mention the spinning, I feel that Captain Gu is a little powerless, so the Pride sister ship must be put into use as soon as possible, and the slipway is a priority project......

As for Zixia Island, where they have their own school, Wanshan Island, the proximity to the water doesn't seem to be too much of a problem.

Therefore, Xin'an City is the second place that needs our priority protection in terms of talents.

Xiao Fei and Huang Hai nodded silently when they heard this, too, everyone has more or less consensus on this point.

Lao Ba then added: In addition, a small number of female students will be sent to work in the governor's palace of Xin'an City and Zixia Island, mainly accounting and communication personnel.

As for Lao Wang and Lao Zhu, their current farm and Sydney Island ranch are basically scientific research now, and the field work on the rest of the island's plots is also undertaken by immigrants from Sulu, plus they have been given a lot of students before, so it's okay now, they don't need many people at present.

Now Xin'an City is also looking for Zhuyuan Sunflower to ask for students, after all, the cement factory and brick factory have been installed in place, and the sugar factory and ammunition factory are even more prosperous in purchase and sales, and they are busy on weekdays.

There is no shortage of labor on their side, but there is a great lack of technical and management personnel, and now Hou Xianglin Kangda and their joint construction of the dam in Xin'an River has started, there are so many projects in Xin'an City, and it is one of our most important trade ports at present, so the Education Commission has agreed, and next year will try to give priority to sending more students to Xin'an City.

Also, every year, more than a dozen male and female students are assigned to doctors, Xu Rou's nursing training class is a key project of the Education Commission, because Wei Hongren Ke and Xiao Ai have been asking their families to send them military doctors, at least some nurses with basic battlefield treatment and nursing skills, there are quite a few - they require each company to have a military doctor and two nurses, obviously, they can't meet their requirements at present, but the Education Commission has decided, this is also a priority project.

Oh, by the way, there is also - Zhu Beiguo's immigration bureau is also playing with the idea of Zhuyuan and Sunflower, recently he is training new ships for sea trials and training sailors, while busy with things on the Sulu side, and that northward plan, Zhu Beiguo has already given me a preliminary report - he plans to recruit a few couples among the students of Zhuyuan and Sunflower and send them to various planned communication stations - if Xiao Fei your downwind radio system is a little smaller, these couples will become the communications personnel and intelligence officers of the immigration bureau's station.

Zhu Beiguo also told me that he planned to send secret intelligence agents to Manila and that he planned to apply for a set of small radio equipment from the cave to bring with him......

Cheng Dong couldn't help but be a little depressed when he heard this, and couldn't help but interrupt Lao Ba's introduction and complained:

"Ba Lao, this priority and that priority are not my share, how long will I have to wait to open a railway company? Rise? Do I just have to be a train driver? ”
