Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 348 I’ll provide for you to go to college (two-in-one)

In the field of microwave ovens, Li Weidong really has a way to deal with Xizhi Electric. In this regard, Galanz's development strategy is simply a textbook case in business. It would be better if Li Weidong just used it.

Li Weidong took out paper and pen and was about to make detailed plans when the BP machine hanging on his waist suddenly rang.

Li Weidong took out his BP machine and saw that the number on it was from the provincial capital. He was very familiar with it. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this was the phone number of Ma Dexing's office.

Li Weidong immediately picked up the phone and dialed Ma Dexing's number.

"Director Ma? I am Li Weidong."

"Director Li, I have something good to offer you! You have to treat me to dinner later," Ma Dexing said.

"Definitely please!" Li Weidong agreed first, and then asked: "Director Ma, what's the good news?"

Ma Dexing asked: "Do you know Cologne?"

"I know, it's asexual reproduction technology." Li Weidong replied.

"I said Cologne, not cloning!" Ma Dexing corrected.

"Cologne! The one in Germany?" Li Weidong said in his heart. Ma Dexing's dialect accent was a bit strong.

Ma Dexing continued, "Yes, it's the one in Germany. Cologne is holding a home appliances exhibition, and I submitted your air fryer. Your factory's air fryer made a major breakthrough for our country's home appliance exports that year.

, I definitely have to go out and show my face this time!”

"Thank you very much, Director Ma, for taking care of me." Li Weidong paused and then said, "What is the probability that the superior will pass it?"

"It should be close!" Ma Dexing continued to explain: "Actually, the opportunity to participate in the Cologne Home Appliances Show this time was not won by our foreign trade department, but by domestic enterprises."

"Which company is so powerful?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"Haier." Ma Dexing continued to explain: "Haier introduced Liebherr's technology back then, and the two companies have always had a very close cooperative relationship. Liebherr is a German company, and this time it was Liebherr who invited

Haier went to Cologne to participate in the exhibition.

Haier reported this matter to the hall. The hall felt that it would be better to organize an exhibition group and bring more companies there. Firstly, it would showcase our country's home appliances to the world. Secondly, it also hopes that companies can

He was favored by foreign businessmen and won some foreign trade orders.

We reported this matter to the Ministry, which also approved it, and decided to organize an exhibition group in the name of the country to attend the Home Appliances Exhibition in Cologne. Since this opportunity to participate in the exhibition was won by enterprises in our province,

In terms of exhibition quota, we were given some discounts.”

"The exhibition seats in Cologne were originally for companies. Now that the country has organized a group to go there, will the organizer agree? What's more, it was originally just a booth for one company. So many companies have visited at once, can it be accommodated?" Li Weidong said.

.

"Why, are you still worried about not having your booth?" Ma Dexing asked with a smile.

"I must be worried. All the people I went to were well-known and large companies. If the booths are tight, small businesses like ours will definitely be sacrificed." Li Weidong said.

Ma Dexing laughed and said: "Don't worry, the ministry has already discussed it with the organizer, and the German organizer also welcomes our country to send a pavilion to participate, and also provides a lot of convenience and assistance

Woolen cloth!"

"When did the Germans become so good?" Li Weidong asked with a frown.

Ma Dexing explained: "It's not that the Germans have become better, it's the international situation. At the end of last year, the Treaty of European Union was signed. Next year, the European Union will be formally established. Since it is an alliance, there must be no

A martial arts leader!

Both Britain and France want to compete for the leadership of the martial arts alliance. As for Germany, it was definitely not qualified to compete for the leadership of the martial arts alliance a few years ago. I am worried that it will be different now. The reunification of the two Germanys will greatly increase Germany's national power. Germany also wants to compete.

This martial arts leader wants to have more say in the EU."

Since the concept of "European Union" came into being, the battle for its voice has never stopped. Britain, France and Germany all want to dominate the EU, and some small and weak countries often form alliances to gain more voice and maintain

Their own interests are only the European Parliament and the EU Presidency, which are just mascots placed at the door.

Ma Dexing continued: "If Germany wants to be the leader of the European Union, it must increase its influence. Therefore, Germans can always be seen in recent major and minor international events. Germany has also held many internal activities.

This Cologne Home Appliances Show is a means for Germany to increase its influence."

Li Weidong thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. Germany is now actively applying to host the World Expo.

Ma Dexing continued: "Since the Germans want to enhance their national influence, they will definitely welcome exhibitors from all countries. Our formation of an official exhibition group is in line with the Germans' wishes, and of course they will provide some conveniences."

"That's it." Li Weidong nodded.

"Director Li, I have already told you about the matter. You need to prepare early. After all, this is a foreign exhibition. We represent the country. We must put out our best products and we must not embarrass the country!"

Ma Dexing said.

Li Weidong immediately replied: "Director Ma, don't worry, I will prepare carefully and I will definitely not embarrass the country."

After putting down the phone, Li Weidong's mood instantly became happy.

"I was originally thinking about finding an opportunity to go to Europe or the United States to sell orange juice machines, but now it saves me a lot of trouble!"

…

In the conference room of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory, all the people in the factory with technical secondary school and high school education were summoned.

Li Weidong sat in the middle and said: "I have called you all here in a few days. There is something that needs to be announced. After study by the leadership team in the factory, it has been decided to implement a new talent training plan starting next year.

The specific measure is that the factory encourages employees to take the adult college entrance examination. Once you pass the adult college entrance examination and are admitted to a university, whether it is a college or undergraduate degree, the tuition fees will be borne by the factory, and your salary will be paid during the study period! Of course, the premise is that you have to

Take the major related to agricultural machinery.”

The adult college entrance examination is divided into higher education, higher education and junior college. For technical secondary school students and high school students, they can take the junior college or undergraduate examination. College graduates can pass the adult college entrance examination to advance to junior college.

There are three teaching methods for adult college entrance examination, namely part-time, part-time and correspondence courses.

The part-time and part-time teaching method generally recruits students at the campus and arranges classes in the evening or on weekends, so it is suitable for working candidates to apply.

Off-the-job study means full-time study on campus. Its management method is the same as that of ordinary colleges and universities. Just like normal college, there are stable winter and summer vacations.

Correspondence teaching is mainly based on self-study, with several short-term intensive face-to-face classes arranged every academic year.

In terms of teaching quality, off-the-job study is definitely the best. Li Weidong also hopes that employees can study off-the-job, so he put forward the condition that wages should be paid during the study period.

Many people showed moved expressions when they heard that they would not only receive a salary to go to college, but the factory would also cover the tuition fees.

These people were all technical secondary school students or high school students in the 1980s. They were among the group with relatively good academic performance at that time. Reading was something these people were relatively good at.

This kind of people who are good at studying will most likely feel regretful and upset because they did not enter university. Now that they have the opportunity to enter university again, of course everyone is eager to try.

Li Weidong continued: "Of course, the factory's support for you to go to college is not free. After you graduate, you must come back to work. Before you go to college, you have to sign a contract with the factory. If you breach the contract, you will have to sign a contract with the factory.

Pay liquidated damages!”

Li Weidong didn't want the talents he spent money to cultivate to be harvested by others, so he had to make his words clear first.

However, everyone in the audience obviously did not pay attention to these words. After all, state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises were still dominant at that time, and there was no such thing as job hopping. In a small and backward place like Qinghe, if you entered a certain unit, you had to work there.

lifetime.

Therefore, Li Weidong proposed that he must return to work in an agricultural machinery factory after graduation, which seemed to everyone to be a matter of course.

Li Weidong continued; "The factory encourages you to take the adult college entrance examination. You will not study in vain. Next, I will talk about the salary. When you go to college, after graduation, the salary will be improved according to your academic qualifications. For those with a college degree, the factory will

I’ll give you double your salary. If you have a bachelor’s degree, the factory will give you three times your salary!

So even if you only passed the adult college entrance examination, don’t be discouraged. You can go on to take the college entrance examination to upgrade to a bachelor’s degree. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree is equivalent to receiving an extra salary than you do now!

Of course, if you have the ability, go to graduate school and come back with a master's degree, we won't talk about how many times your salary is. If you want any conditions, just ask me. Even if you want a Santana, the factory will give it to you!"

A salary increase is a real benefit. Whether it is a double salary or a triple salary, it is a great thing.

The factory allows you to study, and you will be paid as usual during the period. After graduation, your salary will be doubled. This is simply a big pie in the sky.

In an instant, everyone in the conference room was eager to try.

Of course, there are some older people who show hesitant expressions. They are obviously worried that they are old and have not studied for a long time, so they will not be able to pass the adult college entrance examination.

Li Weidong continued: "There are more people taking the adult college entrance examination now, and the competition for the exam is still very fierce. In order to allow our factory employees to pass the exam more smoothly, the factory specially hired people from the city's No. 2 Middle School.

Teacher, I will give you make-up lessons. The make-up lessons are every weekend. Everyone is welcome to sign up!"

When they heard that there were teachers providing extra classes, the hesitation on the faces of the older students immediately disappeared.

Since there are professional high school teachers to guide you, the chances of passing the Adult College Entrance Examination will definitely be much higher. Even those employees who have been away from school for many years will have a little more confidence.

…

The high school teacher was naturally hired by Li Weidong with money.

For things like the college entrance examination, there is a big difference between having a teacher teach you and studying on your own.

Lu Jianli was a teacher at No. 2 Middle School. Li Weidong asked Lu Jianli to help, and he easily invited several teachers to hold a weekend tutoring class.

In the early 1990s, tutoring classes were not popular, and teachers did not have the opportunity to make extra money. Li Weidong provided the money. Of course, the teachers of No. 2 Middle School were happy to take advantage of the weekends to make extra money and improve their lives.

A few days later, Du Jiahai handed a statistical sheet to Li Weidong.

"Director, almost all of the people in our factory with technical secondary school and palace education degrees have signed up!" Du Jiahai said.

The conditions offered by Li Weidong are so good that they cannot be refused. Of course, all those who meet the conditions will enthusiastically sign up.

Li Weidong looked at the statistical table with satisfaction, and then said: "If one-third of these people can pass the adult college entrance examination, and three or four can pass the undergraduate examination, our factory will not lose money!"

"Director, if someone gets admitted to graduate school, will the factory really provide a car?" Du Jiahai asked.

"Of course, I mean what I say. A master's degree is worth a Santana! If there is a master's degree in agricultural machinery automation who is willing to come now, I will equip him with a car immediately! It's a pity that a small business like ours can't hire such a high-level person."

Talented people with academic qualifications." Li Weidong said helplessly.

Du Jiahai sighed: "Such good conditions make me want to take the adult college entrance examination."

Li Weidong smiled: "Why are you messing around? Oh, I understand, you are asking me for a new car!"

"No, the Jeep I have now is pretty good, pretty good." Du Jiahai said quickly.

Li Weidong continued: "It's really hard to buy this Santana now. I heard that demand exceeds supply. If you want to take delivery of the car, you have to wait until half a year later. But FAW-Volkswagen's Jetta is also pretty good. I'll give you one later. First,

Just make do with it!"

At this moment, Li Weidong's BP machine rang again. Li Weidong looked at the number and saw another call from Ma Dexing.

"I guess it's about the Cologne Home Appliances Show. I have some clues."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong picked up the phone and called Ma Dexing.

"Hey, Director Ma, I'm Li Weidong. Have you decided on the Cologne Home Appliances Show?" Li Weidong asked directly.

Ma Dexing, who was opposite him, sighed: "Hey, your factory's participation in the exhibition has gone south!"

Li Weidong frowned fiercely. The electrical appliance factory had already made more than a hundred orange juice machine samples, and they were just waiting to go to Cologne to participate in the exhibition. Why couldn't they go there all of a sudden?

So Li Weidong asked, "What's going on?"

"I applied for your air fryer, but it was not approved by the ministry." Ma Dexing sighed helplessly and continued, "To be precise, your quota was taken by other companies."

"Who is it?" Li Weidong asked immediately.

"Have you heard of the Water Lily fan? Their factory also produces air fryers. This time, the ministry approved their Water Lily brand air fryer to participate in the Cologne Home Appliances Show." Ma Dexing explained.

"Water lily fans? I remember seeing them at the Canton Fair!"

Li Weidong thought for a while, and finally got some clues. He said, "I remembered that at the Canton Fair, this water lily fan also copied our air fryer. It seems that the leader of their provincial foreign trade department, whose surname is Cai, also

I had a fight with you!"

"Yes, it's that old fox Cai Qianjin!" Ma Dexing continued angrily; "This time it was also Cai Qianjin's fault. He told the ministry that our province was assigned five exhibitors, and other provinces had at most two.

, some don’t even have one, which is unfair.

As a result, for the sake of balance, the ministry kicked off your air fryer and replaced it with a water lily air fryer. This can be regarded as milk for the crying child!"

"With the water lily air fryer, you don't have to worry about frying your hair if you fall asleep!" Li Weidong curled his lips disdainfully, and then realized that the air fryer seemed to have a timer function, and it was developed by himself first.

Then Li Weidong asked: "Who are the other four companies in our province?"

"Haier must have it. After all, Haier was originally invited to participate in the exhibition. In addition, Hisense TVs from Dongdao TV Factory and Aucma refrigerators from Huanghai Freezer Factory also have to participate in the exhibition. These two companies have connections with Haier.

We cooperate on many projects. Another one is the duck washing machine in our provincial capital." Ma Dexing introduced them one by one.

"Haier, Hisense, Aucma, and Xiaoya are all big brands in the domestic home appliance industry. No wonder they sacrificed me!" Li Weidong shook his head helplessly.

In 1992, Haier was already the top refrigerator brand in China, and the company was renamed "Haier Group" and accelerated its entry into the international market.

In the same year, Hisense was already one of the three giants of domestic color TVs. It had just been replaced by a 35-year-old young factory director and was about to enter a period of rapid development and expansion.

At this time, Aucma Group, also known as Huanghai Freezer Factory, mainly focused on the research and development and product manufacturing of refrigeration technology related to freezers, and was considered a leading enterprise in the freezer industry.

As for Xiaoya, it has long been a well-known brand in China. As early as 1984, they had already made the first domestic front-loading washing machine, and they are the well-deserved "boss" in the domestic washing machine industry.

With these four big brands standing in the way, Li Weidong was eliminated, which is really not unfair at all.

On the other side of the phone, Ma Dexing comforted him; "Director Li, don't be sad. Temporary adjustments to exhibitors often happen. As far as I know, there are many companies in other provinces that were eliminated in the registration department."

of."

"Director Ma, you don't have to comfort me, I understand!" Li Weidong paused and then said, "Even if I fail to go this time, there is still a chance next time!"

"Director Li, why do I feel that what you said is a bit untrue!" Director Ma hesitated for two seconds, and then asked, "Director Li, have you thought of other ways?"

Ma Dexing has known Li Weidong for some years, and he knows that Li Weidong always has some unexpected tricks. And based on his understanding of Li Weidong, Li Weidong is not someone who gives up easily.

Li Weidong smiled and then said, "There are other ways."

"You really have another way!" Ma Dexing immediately asked: "What is it?"

"Well, keep it secret!" Li Weidong chuckled, and then said: "Director Ma, don't worry, my method will definitely not affect your normal exhibition! If you see it at the Cologne exhibition,

Don't be surprised!"

…

Cologne is a famous exhibition city, especially in the consumer industry. Many international exhibitions will be held in Cologne.

In his previous life, Li Weidong went to Cologne to attend several exhibitions, so he still had some understanding of the exhibition situation in Cologne.

Li Weidong's Puppy Electric is just a foundry, not a well-known international home appliance brand. It is basically impossible to obtain the qualification to participate in the Cologne International Home Appliances Show.

This time Li Weidong does not have the organizer relationship like Nakano Co., Ltd., and it is impossible to obtain a booth through personal connections.

But this does not mean that Li Weidong cannot enter the Cologne Convention and Exhibition Center.

You can't enter the formal exhibition area, but you can enter the leisure area where drinks and food are sold!

Although I can't go to the exhibition of orange juice machines, I can rent a stall in the leisure area and sell freshly squeezed orange juice. There is no problem, right?
