Chapter 661: Meritocracy

Both Ju Wenzheng and Wen Changyou were sent by the Provincial Department of Education.

It stands to reason that he should support Wang Weidong's proposal to make Wen Changyou executive vice president.

However, when Ju Wenzheng heard Wang Weidong's suggestion, he was also surprised.

Ju Wenzheng blurted out: "Lao Wen doesn't seem to have graduated from college yet, right?" ”

Now, no matter what you do, you are paying more and more attention to your diploma. Especially in institutions, it is difficult to move an inch without a diploma.

Therefore, many people dig holes and steal holes to get a diploma for themselves.

Although this is a private university, it is indeed a bit unreasonable if the executive vice president does not even have a university diploma.

"I asked Comrade Lao Wen about this, and he said that he graduated from a junior college and studied by correspondence." Wang Weidong replied.

Hearing Wang Weidong's words, the faces of Vice Minister Chang and President Tang darkened.

Think about it, what would a former vice minister of education and president of a national key university feel when they hear about a correspondence college diploma?

"What happened to the junior college in functions? According to Lao Wen's age, this is already very good! Don't forget, in the fifties and sixties, many old comrades didn't even have a primary school education and went to the national key universities to become presidents, and they did a very good job, so we must not forget our roots! Song Yu said on the side.

"There are so many things to manage in the school, a thousand threads and a needle! School security, cafeteria, maintenance of various facilities and other things, you let a big intellectual manage these things, he really may not be able to manage them well. Therefore, we especially need cadres like Comrade Lao Wen! It's not that he is asked to teach students, and there is no need to be so strict about academic qualifications. Besides, Comrade Lao Wen was sent by the Provincial Department of Education, which is a recognition of his ability and level! Wang Weidong said.

In the end, Vice Minister Chang and President Tang both reluctantly nodded and agreed with Wang Weidong's suggestion to make Wen Changyou the executive vice president.

When Wen Changyou heard that he was appointed as the deputy secretary and executive vice president of Xiangyang Institute of Science and Technology, he was very indifferent.

This is also normal, according to his age, he will retire in two years, and besides, there is nothing to boast about being the executive vice president of a private university.

"It's really embarrassing to say it, but when I was forty years old, I had the opportunity to be promoted to a cadre, so I got myself a diploma from a correspondence college. Of course, I know that the ink in my stomach is too far from that of a professional. Wen Changyou said with a smile.

"Having a diploma does not mean that you can do things, and besides, you just let a professor manage the daily work in school, and he may not be able to manage it well." Wang Weidong said.

Hearing Wang Weidong say this, Wen Changyou shook his head and said: "Weidong, this is what you don't know, I have worked in the Department of Education for so many years, and I have seen too many things. Those lecturers, associate professors and professors in universities, many of them are actually very envious of those of us who do administrative and management work. According to the regulations of the university, it is very hard to publish several papers in international and domestic journals of various levels every year, and to teach students and take graduate students! What a great thing it is to be transferred from an education position to manage the infrastructure and logistics of the school! The position I used to hold in the Department of Education is now filled by an associate professor in the former university, and Director Zhao personally talked to me about this matter and did my ideological and political work. I thought that I would retire in two years, and it was not good to get in the way of others! ”

"Comrade Lao Wen, there is no problem with your body for another ten or twenty years! After two years, I recommend that the Board rehire you as Executive Vice Chancellor! Wang Weidong said.

Shi Yueshuang led more than a dozen financial personnel of Xiangyang Electronics to the school, and they will be the basic team of the university's management and finance department in the future.

This university is completely supported by the financial resources of Xiangyang Electronics, and any rights can be handed over, but the right to manage money is resolutely not paid.

"Yueshuang, this is only two hundred kilometers away from the capital, and it will be much more convenient for you to go home to see your parents in the future. It's April, and there are always job fairs in the capital, and many college students from other places rush to the capital to participate in the job fairs to look for jobs. After you return to the capital, you will have to recruit at least 20 college students majoring in finance and accounting, and use the dozen or so people you brought with you to bring them out. Wang Weidong said.

The Muling region has a very long history of gold mining. It is said that it has started since the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, and it has been more than 200 years now.

However, by now, the places that can be mined have basically been exhausted, and only a few individual small gold mines are still barely maintaining.

The last time Ou Xiaoyang returned to Northeast China, he helped Wang Weidong recruit more than 100 workers in these individual gold mines.

In fact, most of these workers are workers in nearby coal mines and have no experience in gold mining.

None of these people are professionally trained, and they all rely on traditional pulse-finding methods for gold mining.

Wang Weidong rushed to the northeast to gather the workers using the phone number Ou Xiaoyang gave him, finally verified their identities and numbers, and then took them abroad.

This way of labor is actually a hemp rod to beat the wolf, and both ends are afraid.

Of course, it is these workers who are more worried. I often don't get enough money to work in my home country, and now I have to go thousands of kilometers away in a foreign country.

If there are jobs everywhere now, and the wages are not low, then no one wants to take the risk at all, the problem is that this is not the case now, and the dozens of coal miners who are willing to go abroad are laid-off workers from nearby coal mines.

There is no way but to fight!

Because of his father, Ou Xiaoyang has an old relationship in the Northeast, and before leaving, Wang Weidong invited all the workers to dinner in the local restaurant in Muling, and invited an old county magistrate who had been retired for more than ten years to attend.

Seeing that there were officials in attendance, the workers felt a little more at ease.

Wang Weidong sighed while drinking with the old county magistrate that although the tea will not cool off immediately, more than ten years have passed, and Ou Xiaoyang's influence can only be accompanied by a retired old county magistrate.

Of course, if Xiangyang Electronics wants to invest and build a factory here, it will be another matter.

The group took a train from Muling to the city of Fenhe, and soon arrived in Ussuriysk.

These people all looked at Wang Weidong with blank eyes, Wang Weidong asked each of them to come to the domestic account and then called Li Yueshi, who was still in Shanghai, and asked Li Yueshi to transfer 5,000 yuan to each account.

Wang Weidong then arranged for the people to rest in the hotel, and he rushed to the brewery and farm to take a turn.

The farm is run by Wang Xianjian, which has been on track for many years, and the economic benefits are good.

The next day, the workers started calling their families, reassuring when they heard that the money had arrived.

"Today I will take you by train to Khabarovsk, and from there by plane to Magadan." Wang Weidong said.
