Monday, March 10, coincides with the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon rises, and it is a symbolic day for people to get a haircut after the Spring Festival. From this day on, barber shops that were closed for rest during the Spring Festival began to open one after another, welcoming waves of customers who flocked to get their hair trimmed.

At more than nine o'clock in the morning, Geng Wenyang took Liu Qing, Chen Suying and Ji Guangtong to Baicheng Electronic Industry School in Dongcheng to meet and communicate with the Municipal Electronic Industry Bureau and relevant leaders of the school.

In the early stage, under Du Liye's threading of the needle, Geng Wenyang had several contacts with Bai Tenglong, who was in charge of this matter in the Electronic Industry Bureau. The Electronic Industry Bureau asked for 5.2 million yuan before it was willing to transfer the school, and Geng Wenyang took advantage of the situation to propose to go to the scene to personally investigate the spot to confirm whether the electronic school was worth spending millions of dollars to buy it.

Lincoln's sedan drove into the electronic school and came to the front of the office building, and Bai Tenglong, who got the news, led the principal Liao Haixing and the vice principals Deng Yihe and Qin Yaru downstairs to greet him.

After the two sides finished greeting under Bai Tenglong's introduction, Geng Wenyang said, "Bai Ju, Principal Liao, let's go to the school to have a look first, okay?"

"Okay!" Bai Tenglong said happily: "Lao Liao, it's time for your territory, you come to lead the way for President Geng."

Liao Haixing is in his fifties, wearing a well-fitting suit, with a pair of old-fashioned glasses on his nose, and an obvious image of an intellectual.

He hurriedly walked to the front and led the way, "Mr. Geng, please come here!"

Baicheng Electronic Industry School covers an area of not large, only about 60 acres. Near the gate are two school buildings, one of which doubles as an office. Behind the two school buildings is a standard 400-meter running track playground, and beyond that is a student dormitory building. On the east side of the three buildings there are also canteens, warehouses and bathrooms.

"There are now 18 classes in the school, with more than 800 students, studying in four majors: electronic application technology, communication technology, computer application and modern secretarial," Liao said.

"There are 116 teachers and staff in the school." He continued, "Among them, there are 86 full-time teachers. Forty-nine per cent of the teaching staff have a bachelor's degree and 24 per cent have a specialist degree."

Geng Wenyang was curious: "Is there a professor among the teachers?"

"This ......," Liao Haixing said embarrassedly, "We are a secondary vocational school, and we will evaluate the title together with the middle school. Now there are five senior teachers and more than 30 intermediate teachers."

Geng Wenyang suddenly understood. It seems that these teachers with bachelor's degrees in the electronic school are probably young people recruited in recent years, and they are not yet at the age of their professional titles, so there are not many people with senior professional titles.

Liao Haixing saw that there seemed to be dissatisfaction on his face, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "We also have an electronic technology and communication technology practice classroom in the teaching building, as well as a computer room with more than 30 computers."

"I know very well what your school is equipped with computers." Geng Wenyang said: "Most of them are 286 and 386, which are already outdated, and there are only two 586, and there is no one at Pentium. Isn't that so?"

"This ......?" Liao Haixing glanced sideways at Qin Yaru, the vice principal in charge of managing teaching equipment, and saw that she nodded at herself, and had to admit, "Yes! There is no money in the school, and I can't afford the most advanced computers, so that's what it can be like at the moment."

"Since we are an electronic technical school, we must use the most advanced and modern computers." He drew a pie for the school and said, "If I buy the school, all the computers will be replaced with the fashionable Pentium 150. We want to make us the most advanced school with computer equipment in Baicheng."

A Pentium 150 computer equipped with a 20-inch monitor costs about 20,000 yuan, and there are currently more than 30 computers in the computer room of the Electronic Industry School, and if all of them are replaced with Pentium 150, it will cost 6 or 700,000 yuan, which is not a small amount.

Seeing that Liao Haixing and the others seemed to be a little disbelievable, Liu Qing smiled beside him and said, "Principal Liao, one of the main products of our group's electronics company is desktop computers. So in the future, we can provide what the school needs."

Liao Haixing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oops! That's good! If there were such advanced computers, I think more students would sign up."

Geng Wen

Yang Yang's heart moved, and he said secretly: "What Lao Liao said is very reasonable. In the late 90s, there were very few schools equipped with Pentium computers in Baicheng, and we used this as a gimmick to attract more students to apply for e-schools."

"Computers are only one aspect." "It is more important to improve the professional level of teachers in an all-round way, so as to comprehensively improve the teaching quality and competitiveness of schools in terms of both software and hardware.

Liao Haixing was no stranger to hearing him talk about things in school, and he seemed to be a little confused. Liu Qing explained with a smile: "Our group company has opened a vocational school in Haixi County, and this is the principal of the vocational school, Ji Guangtong."

Ji Guangtong hurriedly said modestly: "Compared with the electronic industry school, there is still a gap in the level of our school."

Vice Principal Deng Yihe was surprised: "Isn't it Haixi Wenyang Vocational School?"

"Yes, that's right!" Ji Guangtong nodded and said, "That's our school."

"Oops!" Deng Yihe admired: "I've heard from professionals in the electronics industry that the level of students taught in your school is not bad, and they can start working immediately after entering the factory."

Geng Wenyang said with a smile: "Principal Deng, our vocational school is oriented to the society, no matter what academic qualifications, as long as you are willing to learn, you can pay money to register. Therefore, the target of our training is qualified workers."

He paused and said, "But your school is different. You are training junior technical personnel, and you are going to be used as professional technicians in the factory, which is still different from pure front-line workers."

Liao Haixing and the others only realized at this time that Geng Wenyang had set up a genuine vocational school, and he was not a beginner in vocational education, so they couldn't help but look up to him.

Qin Yaru smiled and said, "Mr. Geng, our school is not as good as you said, and the students we teach are also used as ordinary workers in the factory."

"There is a difference between ordinary workers." Geng Wenyang explained: "Some people have reached the top of their job as a worker, and some can be a team leader or squad leader. Although the children taught in our school are not highly educated, they should be trained to develop the habit of continuous learning. In this way, even if they work with secondary school students and university students in the future, they will not be limited by their academic qualifications."

Liao Haixing and others listened to what he said to be reasonable, and also deeply considered the development and progress of students' future careers, and couldn't help but secretly happy: "This Mr. Geng knows so much about the vocational education industry, maybe our school will get greater development after he returns to him."

Liao Haixing, as the principal, may be transferred back to the Electronics Industry Bureau to continue working before selling the school. But Deng Yihe and Qin Yaru do not have this qualification, so they can only follow the school to advance and retreat together with honor and disgrace.

So of course, the two of them hope that the school can develop better and better in the future, and individuals can live a better life.
