Chapter 651 Today I will make it impossible for you to reach high

The name of the French master's degree is indeed very intimidating, at least the leaders who came to inspect it were intimidated.

In China at that time, a master's degree was still very valuable.

But these people don't know that in many Western developed countries, there are as many master's degrees as dogs.

Because many countries in Europe have a one-year master's degree system. Especially in countries with small languages ​​such as Northern Europe, the one-year master's degree is very popular.

It is said to be a one-year program, but in fact the study time is much less than one year. For example, you enroll in September and graduate in June. At the same time, you study for a master's degree in China and don't even write a thesis proposal report, but you already have a master's degree.

Gone to find a job.

One year is not enough time to do any research. Therefore, the gold content of this kind of master's degree is not high, and the level may not be as good as that of 985 undergraduate graduates.

Moreover, the threshold for this one-year master's degree is low, and it is easy for local Europeans to apply. For example, in some wealthy countries with small populations and abundant resources, you can basically apply to study.

For example, in Nordic countries, the population is relatively small. It is good if students in a class can get together for a game of LOL. However, if someone wants to apply for a master's degree, the school will basically not refuse.

Therefore, in many Nordic countries, double master's degrees or even triple master's degrees are also very common. Don't think they are awesome when you encounter such double master's degrees. After all, it takes enough time to study for one master's degree in China, and it is enough for people to study three.

France also has one-year master's degrees, and not only comprehensive public universities, but many higher professional colleges also have one-year master's programs.

The so-called higher professional colleges are equivalent to domestic higher vocational technical schools. Studying for a master's degree in a higher vocational technical school is something that is unimaginable in China.

However, France is an old industrial country after all, and it still has a good foundation. Many higher professional colleges have a history of hundreds of years. Although they are only higher vocational colleges, the teaching level is still very good.

In higher professional colleges, there are also a variety of one-year master's courses, which are basically practical courses, and the purpose of learning is only to facilitate employment.

Therefore, masters trained under this education system will not have very high academic standards and are not good at doing scientific research or writing papers. However, in the job market, they will become highly practical blue-collar engineers.

This education system is very suitable for traditional industrial fields with mature technologies.

In traditional industrial fields that have existed for decades or hundreds of years, the relevant production technologies have already matured. Even if there is further research and development, there will not be much improvement for the entire industry, so scientific research talents are of little use.

Big, but production-oriented people will be more practical.

It's different in emerging fields, such as information technology industry, new energy industry, new materials industry, robotics industry, etc. Technology still has a lot to improve. R&D is more important than production. A new R&D may

It will bring revolutionary changes to the entire industry.

Therefore, in later generations, it will always be those traditional manufacturing companies that complain about the lack of workers every day and complain that young people would rather deliver food than work in engineering. But those innovative companies have never complained about the lack of workers.

For innovative companies, they rely on R&D to increase productivity, rather than increasing productivity through more skilled workers.

The French engineers invited by Li Weidong are all practical blue-collar engineers. Their practical skill attribute points are full, but when it comes to doing scientific research and writing papers, they are really not as good as Han Qing, an associate professor at the University of Mining and Technology.

However, Han Qing obviously did not know this, and neither did the leaders who came to inspect. Based on the principle of "foreign monks can recite sutras," they felt that French master's degrees were more authoritative.

Whenever Han Qing asked the French master what kind of research he was engaged in and what papers he had published, he would get an answer that he didn't know, and he would instantly regain his sense of superiority.

Just listen to Li Weidong's introduction: "Although the recovery rate of our Dongshan Mining is not high at present, we have invited a group of excellent French coal mine engineers to provide us with technical support.

Next, we will target EU standards, gradually improve technology, redesign and plan the mine, and improve production efficiency. I believe we can achieve a recovery rate of 80%!"

Director Du nodded again: "Very good, our country has always encouraged the introduction of talents and advanced technologies from developed countries to improve our own technical level. It is worthwhile for Dongshan Mining to achieve leapfrog development in technology by introducing French engineers."

To praise and learn.”

When Li Weidong said that the recovery rate was 80%, everyone present scoffed. Some even felt that Li Weidong was deliberately exaggerating the data in front of the leaders to please his superiors.

Even large state-owned coal enterprises cannot achieve an 80% recovery rate. Dongshan Mining, a private enterprise with poor foundation and technology, can achieve an 80% recovery rate?

So when Han Qing jumped out, many people were gloating and waiting to see Li Weidong's joke.

However, when the French engineering team appeared in front of everyone, the 80% recovery rate instantly became an achievable goal.

A few minutes ago, Li Weidong kept saying that he would produce according to European technical standards. Everyone thought that Li Weidong was bragging.

Now when they see this group of French engineers, everyone suddenly realizes that production in accordance with European technical standards is a matter of course!

A recovery rate of 80% is definitely a standard that can be achieved in France. Even if China cannot provide as good equipment as France, with the technical support of French engineers, reaching a recovery rate of 75% should not be a problem.

The recovery rate of 75% is already at the level of large state-owned coal production enterprises.

Director Du also made a positive statement on Dongshan Mining’s introduction of French engineers. It will be even less likely that anyone will make a fuss about the recovery rate in the future.

Li Weidong went on to say, "In addition to adopting EU standards in terms of production technology, we also strictly require ourselves in terms of production safety and take EU standards as our goal."

After all, Director Du is from the National Production Safety Commission. When he heard the words "production safety", he immediately became interested.

Li Weidong continued: "After the French engineers we hired came, they helped us make a lot of improvements based on the EU's coal mine safety standards. Not only did they increase investment in equipment and technology, they also strengthened the personnel's operating procedures.

training.

For example, in the design of coal mines, some optimization and transformation have been carried out to strengthen the ventilation in the mines, and a more scientific and reasonable design of the ventilation system in the mines has been carried out.

In addition, French engineers also conducted a comprehensive survey of the nearby geological structures, found out the distribution of surrounding kiln water, formulated special flood prevention and control measures, and made beneficial improvements to the water pumping facilities in the mine."

The two major enemies of coal mine safety are gas and groundwater.

Collapse accidents are extremely rare in regular coal mines. Coal mine engineers will leave support pillars at the beginning of the design to prevent the coal mine from collapsing due to structural problems. Unless there is a sudden geological disaster such as an earthquake, regular coal mines will

There will be no structural risk accidents.

However, the gas and groundwater existing in underground coal seams are uncontrollable factors. No one can guarantee that gas or groundwater will be dug during the coal mining process. Gas explosions and water penetration often cause serious safety accidents.

.

Therefore, coal mine safety work mainly focuses on gas and groundwater. The ventilation system and drainage system of coal mines have become important work links.

In terms of coal mine safety, the EU's standards are definitely higher, and the EU's requirements for ventilation and drainage systems are also more stringent. Therefore, the capital investment and technical research in this area are also at the forefront of the world.

Domestic coal mining technology already lags behind that of the European Union. Coupled with the low coal prices in the past few years, coal mines have no profit, and they cannot invest more funds in research and development. Therefore, in terms of safety standards and technology,

All lag behind the EU.

In this regard, large state-owned coal production enterprises are better, and at least they will implement national standards. Small coal mines, on the other hand, are purely for making quick money and basically ignore the safety of coal mines.

Coal mines are the places where safety accidents occur most frequently in China, and the National Work Safety Commission naturally attaches great importance to coal mine safety. When Li Weidong talked about implementing safety production in accordance with EU standards, it hit Director Du's heart.

Seeing that Director Du was so interested, Li Weidong simply called Herbert over to introduce their work.

As a practical coal mine engineer, Hulbert has more than 20 years of work experience in this area, so he can explain it easily.

Moreover, France's coal mine technology and safety standards are already higher than those in China. Herbert brought the French stuff and successfully deceived Director Du and other leaders.

In Director Du's opinion, the higher the safety production standards, the better.

Many coal mines in the country are unwilling to follow national standards even if they are forced to use fines and other means to urge them. Now when you encounter a company that is willing to take the initiative to follow higher standards, you have to quickly publicize it as a model.

Director Du was not stingy with his words of praise and praised Dongshan Mining mercilessly.

Of course, Director Du also knows that verbal praise alone is not enough, and setting an example cannot rely solely on words.

There is an allusion called "a thousand gold buys horse bones", rather than "a thousand gold praises the horse bones", because you can't praise a thousand-mile horse with your mouth. It takes real money to spend "a thousand gold" to buy vegetables.

Then Director Du said: "Although the company is responsible for safety production in coal mines, relevant national and local departments also have the responsibility of inspection and supervision.

In order to enable enterprises to increase investment in production safety, a financial budget has also been compiled as a special transformation fund for enterprise safety production to encourage enterprises to pay attention to production safety.

Dongshan Mining's work in safety production is obvious to all. It is the only company in China to introduce technology from Western developed countries and proactively adopt higher EU standards.

This kind of work attitude and emphasis on production safety must be encouraged, and it is worthy of our carrying forward. It also needs the support of our competent authorities.

The way I see it, Dongshan Mining can apply for next year’s production safety transformation fund. It will definitely cost a lot to introduce technology from Western developed countries. You can’t just bear this money, the state should also subsidize part of it!”

"The country will pay you back!" Zhao Jinshan suddenly beamed with joy. The country is willing to provide subsidies. This is a real benefit!

…

The yard of the Coal Industry Association is almost full of vehicles. A meeting is about to be held here.

Sun Chongxin was sitting in one of the cars, holding the new issue of "China Coal News" in his hand, with a depressed expression on his face.

The newspaper used two pages to introduce Director Du's inspection work at the local level.

There are several lines in it that introduce Director Du's high praise of Dongshan Mining. Even the pictures used are the ones he inspected at Dongshan Mining.

"Hire French engineers and introduce advanced coal production technology from Western developed countries?" When Sun Chongxin saw this, he couldn't help but glance at the accompanying picture carefully.

There is a bearded engineer with brown hair in the picture, who looks like a foreigner at first glance.

"There really are foreign engineers! I didn't expect that Zhao Jinshan actually hired engineers from abroad. His trick of building a plank road to cross Chencang secretly was wonderful! But the salary of foreign engineers must be quite high. Zhao Jinshan is really willing to spend money.

!”

Sun Chongxin thought again. With the current increase in coal prices, large coal production companies can really afford to hire foreign engineers.

It's just that other large coal production companies have their own talent training systems and talent sources. Even if they can afford to hire people, they don't need to go to foreign countries to hire people.

"Dongshan Mining has escaped a disaster! If we had known this earlier, we should have promised them at least 10% of the shares, unlike now where we are all in vain." Thinking of this, Sun Chongxin let out a long sigh.

At this time, the assistant sitting in the front row reminded: "Chairman, when the time comes, you should go to the conference room. I just took a look and found that most of the CEOs from other companies are already here."

Sun Chongxin nodded, got out of the car, walked into the office building, went straight to the conference room, found his nameplate, and sat down.

"Dr. Sun, I haven't seen you for a while!" the person next to him said hello with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Sun, what have you been busy with recently?" Another person also said.

"It's all nonsense!" Sun Chongxin continued, "Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu, it's rare to get together today. I'll be the host tonight, let's have a drink!"

"Oh, what a coincidence. I have to fly south in the evening. I can't go today. Let's make an appointment next time. I'll invite you then!"

"After I have a meeting, I have to meet a client. Mr. Sun, we can only drink next time." Another person also said.

They are all CEOs of large companies, and their schedules have been arranged long ago. How can they have time to have a dinner together even if they say they are going to have a dinner together?

Sun Chongxin also knew this. The so-called host invitation was actually just a courtesy, and he had no intention of actually inviting guests. Moreover, he also had a follow-up schedule, and it was impossible to organize another drinking party.

These are just polite words on the scene, to agree with each other, no one will take it seriously.

A few people started to chat, and as they chatted, they talked about the production safety transformation fund.

Just listen to Mr. Liu say: "I heard that next year's safety production transformation fund has been decided."

"That's a huge subsidy! It has already been decided. Who is the lucky one?" Mr. Wang asked immediately.

"It is said to be Dongshan Mining!" Mr. Liu replied.

Hearing the words "Dongshan Mining", Sun Chongxin's brows tightened.

"Mr. Liu, you said that Dongshan Mining has received the production safety improvement fund for next year? Is this true or false? Isn't Dongshan Mining a private enterprise? Can they get such national subsidies?" Sun Chongxin asked immediately.

"Isn't it because Dongshan Mining performed better when Director Du of the Safety Committee went to inspect? I heard that they hired a bunch of French engineers and followed the EU's safety standards to please the leaders, so they got next year's

Safety Production Transformation Fund." Mr. Liu answered.

"European Union standards? They must be higher than our country's standards. When leaders see that companies are willing to take the initiative to improve safety standards, of course they must set an example!"

Mr. Wang next to him paused for a moment, then continued: "What makes me wonder is, there are so many state-owned coal production companies, why did Director Du single out Dongshan Mining for inspection?"

"It does matter!" Mr. Wang replied: "I heard that Dongshan Mining was not included in the original inspection plan. Later, someone from the petroleum system interceded for Dongshan Mining, saying that they were the largest private company in the country.

Coal production companies should go and take a look, so Director Du went to inspect Dongshan Industrial."

"That's it! How can the Petroleum System intercede with Dongshan Mining?" Mr. Liu said, looking at Sun Chonghai, and then asked: "Director Sun, your Huiyuan Industrial is familiar with the Petroleum System, right? Do you have this aspect?

Insider information?”

"No, I haven't heard about this!" Sun Chongxin quickly denied it. He didn't dare to say that it was his fault.

Mr. Liu then complained: "If Director Du doesn't go to Dongshan Industrial to inspect, we won't see any French engineers. We can still have hope for the production safety fund next year, but now it's all gone!"

This sentence made Sun Chongxin look even more embarrassed. He originally planned to harm Dongshan Mining, and for this purpose he bribed Han Qing, an associate professor at the university, to add fuel to the flames.

But he didn't expect that his dirty trick would eventually help Dongshan Mining. Director Du, instead of blaming him, gave Dongshan Mining a production safety subsidy.

I wanted to do something secretly and sneak a kick to cut off the leg of my son, but instead of kicking, I gave the opponent a penalty kick. I can't say how bad I felt!

However, Mr. Liu continued: "I heard that the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau has also stated that it encourages other coal production companies to learn from Dongshan Mining and demand themselves with higher safety standards."

"What? Does that mean that we also have to hire foreign engineers and meet EU standards?" Mr. Wang suddenly looked unhappy.

"That's not necessary. The superiors are just encouraging! But I think since the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau has said it, we coal production companies can't just do nothing, right? We have to send an expert team to Dongshan Mining to find those French people.

Engineers can learn from it and we can do things." Mr. Liu said.

Mr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "If you just want to study, it doesn't matter. Anyway, French engineers are better than us in technology, and we should learn more from other developed countries. Hey, Chairman Sun, are you hot?

?Why is your face so red?"

At this time, Sun Chongxin's face was indeed red!

Not long ago, Huiyuan Industrial was aloof, waiting for Dongshan Mining to come to seek technical support.

Now Huiyuan Industrial is asked to go to Dongshan Mining to learn technology? Where will it show its face then? It’s really embarrassing!

The person who used to be indifferent to you is now out of reach!
