Chapter 360: Everyday is bragging

Han Songlin sympathised with Luo Xiaozhong's encounter. In this world, there are many gentle and kind women, but the ones that often leave a lasting impression and are remembered even decades later are definitely the ones with violent temperaments. Yes, what he was talking about was that during his time at university, there was always one female classmate in every class who intimidated all the boys.

Liu Yuyan was gentle and warm like jade, with a faint smile on her face, as she just looked at Han Songlin, wanting to hear what he would say next.

'I severely criticised Zhou Tong for this behaviour. I said, 'Zhou Tong, although you have now left the embrace of our socialist motherland and gone to a feudal capitalist country, you cannot just sink at once! We must hold fast to our beliefs in the face of the enemy's sugar-coated bullets. Zhou Tong sincerely accepted this.'

Han Songlin is a good bragger!

Liu Yuyan rolled her eyes slightly, not wanting to comment on his nonsense.

Let's not talk about this topic, and Luo Xiaozhong volunteered to talk about the Changxing Machine Tool.

'Changxing Machine Tool, something happened a while ago! The factory didn't pay wages for a few months, and someone went to Yancheng City Hall to organise a rally to demand wages.' When it came to this, Luo Xiaozhong didn't know what to say.

Jiangzhong now has a kind of meaning that the scenery here is unique.

On the Jiangzhong side, apart from the steel mill, all other enterprises that could be restructured have already been restructured.

They are even preparing to restructure the bus station.

They are determined to get away from running specific businesses and do what they should be doing.

Thanks to the early restructuring and the strong rise of the Xinghai Group, the economy of Jiangzhong is now developing quite well.

One of the most intuitive manifestations of a city's economic development is the urban construction area.

The urban area of Jiangzhong is constantly expanding.

The registered urban population of the entire Jiangzhong City has increased by 80,000, and the registered urban population of the entire Jiangzhong region has increased even more.

In terms of household registration, Jiangzhong has now directly lifted restrictions, and it is easy to transfer from a rural household registration to an urban household registration.

It is a bit more difficult to transfer from an urban household registration to a rural household registration.

Some people are even refused the transfer directly.

Han Songlin: 'So that's it! I was wondering why Yandu had suddenly given in.'

Luo Xiaozhong: 'I heard from Wang Shi that you have already boasted that you want to develop Changxing Machine Tool into the number one machine tool enterprise in the country!'

Han Songlin put a piece of beef in his mouth and lightly clinked glasses with Luo Xiaozhong: 'What, you don't believe me?'

Luo Xiaozhong shook his head and laughed: 'It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I think it's a bit difficult!'

'Sometimes, a bit of difficulty makes it more interesting. If I really acquire Changxing Machine Tool, I have no intention of making it profitable in terms of its positioning. Fortune Star Industries can handle the money-making.'

Luo Xiaozhong shook his head with a wry smile, pointed at Han Songlin, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

It was hard to believe how much money Fuxing Industrial was making these days.

Luo Xiaozhong didn't know the exact amount, but a lot could be seen from the taxes paid by Fuxing Industrial.

This year, the taxes of the entire Jiangzhong were simply exploding. Faced with such a huge amount of taxes, Jiangzhong was in a dilemma of having too much money and not knowing what to do with it.

For this reason, several meetings were held to discuss how to spend the money.

'I will continue to invest in Changxing Machine Tools, and focus on research and development to produce high-end machine tools, and then compete with foreign products. Don't they want to restrict the export of high-end machine tools to us? After we have produced our own high-end machine tools in the future, we will directly sell them at low prices. They want to make money, but they can't!'

'By then, we will export machine tools to Persia!'

Luo Xiaozhong frowned: 'Why export to Persia?'

'Persia and the United States don't get along! The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'

'Right, we'll export to Persia.'

Liu Yuyan and Li Yuan exchanged glances, full of helplessness. This man, after a little wine, really brags about anything.

No, he's already bragging about manipulating other countries in battle.

'Come, to the future Changxing Machine Tool becoming the best domestic machine tool enterprise, cheers!'

Han Songlin smiled and clinked glasses with Luo Xiaozhong, emptying the glass in one gulp.

The wine they were drinking was not baijiu, but a high-end low-alcohol baijiu produced by Fule Liquor, which was only 38% alcohol. It had a milder taste and was not as harsh as baijiu.

'The city government has decided to vigorously develop vocational education and will allocate special funds to support the counties and cities below.'

Han Songlin: 'This is a good thing!'

'Xinghai Vocational and Technical College will be able to recruit students this year, and they will also guide students to apply.'

As for outstanding junior high school students applying to vocational schools, Jiangzhong has stopped doing so across the board. Jiangzhong is even considering encouraging more students to attend high school and increasing investment in high school education.

'In the future, I hope that vocational high school students can directly advance to Xinghai College.' Luo Xiaozhong has given it serious consideration. One of the most important reasons why vocational high schools have difficulty doing a good job in teaching is that vocational high school students cannot go on to higher education.

Anyway, after spending two or three years at school, the school will arrange for you to go to a factory for an internship or to start working.

As for whether the internship pays or not, and how much the school can take from each student, I'll leave that alone for now.

Han Songlin: 'Yes, as long as the requirements are met, there is no problem.'

What vocational high schools care about is the employment rate of their students.

And where does this employment rate come from?

To be honest, everyone knows how it comes about; and all the education bureaus pretend that they don't know.

This kind of whitewashing has become an open secret.

Just looking at the system, there are many seemingly perfect systems in the world; but you can't just look at it, you have to look at the implementation.

If it can't be implemented, no matter how good the system on paper is, it's useless.

Xinghai College is mainly responsible for training high-tech talent for enterprises affiliated with the Xinghai Group, so naturally it has strict requirements for admissions.

It's lenient in terms of admissions, but strict in terms of graduation!

After all, as a private school, it has to make money.

It's quite good to recruit students widely to collect tuition fees.

It's not afraid that students won't study hard at school if it's strict in terms of graduation.

'When do you have time for this? Let's meet up and have a meeting or something!'

In September 1996, Xinghai Vocational and Technical College would start recruiting students. To be honest, it seemed like a long time ago, but that time really passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Songlin: 'Fine, you arrange the time, I have a lot of time!'

'Then these two days, I'll call you in advance!'

'Okay!'

Han Songlin glanced at Luo Xiaozhong. He remembered that Luo Xiaozhong used to be in charge of industry and the economy, and now he was also in charge of education?

It seemed to be more normal.

Wang Huicheng attached great importance to Luo Xiaozhong, and in Jiangzhong, Luo Xiaozhong also had a lot of say.
