After the news of the cooperation with Parsons was delivered to Xu Jie, Xu Jie didn't have time to cheer for his success, and Zhan Tianyou, Minister of Industrial Construction, appeared at the door of the office, and judging from his face, there must be bad news.

"Brother Da Chao, what's wrong with it?" Xu Jie still respects Zhan Tianyou, who has left a strong mark in the field of railway engineering in the Republic, after all, he is a professional, and he has excellent skills and is very patriotic, such a talent is rare. In addition, Zhan Tianyou once participated in the Battle of Mawei, and he is more or less a figure in the navy, so he was born with some closeness.

"Mr. Xu, I have to say that your plan cannot be realized at all, and your requirements are too different from the national conditions." Zhan Tianyou said with some dissatisfaction.

"These engineering projects are necessary for our country now, and heavy industry and heavy chemical industry are the core of our current industry, and this must be adhered to. At least until the Russians abandon the Far East, it must be held. At the same time, the important projects are set with full consideration of the surrounding transportation, mineral resources and human resources, and even the budget is 1% more. Money is not an issue, I wonder why Lu Dao has to reformulate the plan? Xu Jie was a little confused. As for the planning of the industrial zone, Xu Jie fully referred to the industrial layout of China in later generations, and eliminated some drawbacks. I don't dare to say the best, but it's definitely better.

"I have to say that your design is very reasonable, and it can be said that it is quite successful in terms of the surrounding environment, the project budget and the associated outputs. But you forgot about a very critical question. Everything needs people to do, and Huaxia does not lack a large number of ordinary laborers. But there is a lack of skilled workers and construction personnel, even if we can complete these projects. Who will operate those machines? Where do managers go to find them? Zhan Tianyou said.

With a click, the pencil in Xu Jie's hand fell on the table. Oh, yes. There is equipment and a factory, where can I find this skilled mechanic? These senior technicians, who are more precious than white-collar workers in later generations, cannot be quickly piled up with money, and the experience of these technicians and managers is sometimes a more precious resource than money.

"If the sappers in the army are invested in the construction of the project, it should be able to make up for it to some extent. It should be okay for those engineering officers who have been discharged from the army due to injuries to serve as managers, right? Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"The number is too small, except for the original Beiyang Army, which has a systematic system of engineers, there are not many other local armies at all. It is impossible for all of the tens of thousands of sappers to be transferred to the construction of the project, and the military will not release them, and if a few of them are thrown across the country, it will not be enough at all. Zhan Tianyou shook his head and said.

"Is it too late to train?" Xu Jie frowned. "There is a school dedicated to the training of skilled workers. We will train people with a certain foundation for about half a year to deal with this labor shortage first. ”

"Ordinary workers can do that, but senior mechanics and engineers can't get fast. This is slowly piled up over time. The manufacture of some key abrasives and the skilled workers of machine tool cutting are not achieved overnight. Treating the symptoms is not the root cause. Zhan Tianyou still shook his head.

"So it seems. We can only recruit foreign technicians to China? Xu Jie thought about it, and the only way to go was to introduce technicians.

"At present, it seems that this is the only way, blood transfusion is not as good as hematopoiesis, but now it is urgently needed. While training their own technicians. The only way to do this was to bring in a large number of skilled workers from Europe. Zhan Tianyou thought for a while and said.

Before World War I, the old capitalist countries in Europe were quite redundant, like Britain and France had enough colonies, and building colonies and then bringing resources from the colonies was no longer the fastest way to get money, they now have a faster way to make money. That's lending, all kinds of lending. To the state as well as to the individual. For example, France at that time was regarded as a usury country at that time, and about 40% of the French people were involved in this great "project".

In this way, a large amount of money is used for lending, so that a large amount of money that should be used for domestic industrial construction will be siphoned off, which is another reason why the old industrial powers such as Britain and France have been overtaken by Germany. Whether it is an individual or a business, they have found a better way to make money, who will invest valuable funds in industrial and mining enterprises? As a result, the slowdown in industrial development has directly led to a surplus of industrial workers.

Coupled with overproduction, this has led to the existence of a large surplus labor force in Europe, and there are only two ways out for this labor force, the first is to stay in the homeland to participate in the fierce competition, and the second is to reach the United States on the other side of the ocean, where there is a wider world. But even in the United States, it is quite difficult to get in, and on the island of Manhattan, thousands of people are denied entry to the United States every day for various reasons, and some of these people are high-level technicians.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie decisively decided to bring these surplus laborers to Huaxia. "You go and contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let them coordinate, and say that I am willing to introduce surplus labor in heavy industry and heavy chemical industry in the name of the state, and if there are engineers who are willing to come, I will provide at least twice the salary and treatment in Europe."

"If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be another amount of talent introduction in the government's expenditure. However, I still think that talents must also be cultivated by themselves, and using foreigners alone is not a long-term solution. Zhan Tianyou thought for a while and said.

"But now the domestic environment you also know that the education system is not complete, has not yet formed a new system, high-level talents are still too few, you can discuss with the Ministry of Education, if you can, the number of public students this year can be increased, as long as the requirements for studying abroad, how many people, how many we send out, don't be afraid to spend money, this area of funds must be guaranteed to be sufficient." Xu Jie said seriously, since domestic education is not good, it can only rely on foreign countries, fortunately, the current Huaxia International is not bad.

"By the way, it is also important to note that the people who study abroad must come back, don't get to the bottom of it, the country has spent a lot of time and money, and as a result, they all stay abroad. That's a big loss! For the passage of senior talents in later generations, Xu Jie can be said to be deeply impressed.

"In fact, in order to retain people, the most important thing is to give talents the space to display their talents. Otherwise, even if people stay, they won't get any results. Treatment is one thing, but more important is the development of individual talents, which is not something that can be solved by the two sectors of education or industry, which is a big project that requires the participation of all sectors of society. Zhan Tianyou said.

"That's right, make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of things, 8 words are very simple, but it is very difficult to achieve" Xu Jie nodded in agreement.

First of all, thank you for the monthly ticket support of the book friend flying into space, and secondly, to correct a little, the chapter number of the previous chapter should be five hundred and eight, which is wrong. I'm sorry——! (To be continued.) )
