When he saw Ge Qiuyang again, he was obviously much better than before. Apparently becoming the president of Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company gave him a greater sense of accomplishment than just collecting rent.
Although Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company's business capabilities are not very strong, after all, it is just an OEM company. Even an OEM company with high technical content is still an OEM company.
Brother companies are still very considerate, and the OEM prices they offer are quite acceptable. Not only do their employees’ salaries reach the per capita level, but they themselves also make a lot of money.
However, compared with those companies that can generate hundreds of billions of dollars, Huaxin Precision Instrument Company's operating income is still not enough. Last year's turnover was only a few billion yuan.
Although all the smartphone manufacturing operations of the three smartphone companies are handed over to them, after deducting the material costs, the average foundry fee for each smartphone is only 30 yuan.
Fortunately, the production efficiency of the machine is quite high. When employees work 8 hours a day, each employee can produce an average of 3,000 mobile phones per month.
In addition, the production lines are all developed and produced by themselves, and there are no middlemen to make profit. The overall profit margin is still considerable. At least Ge Qiuyang is quite satisfied with the current situation.
Now, in addition to continuing to work on production line efficiency, Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company is also studying how to optimize the manufacturing process to improve overall manufacturing capabilities and efficiency.
In addition, we need to continue to strengthen research and investment in high-precision manufacturing technology. We hope to receive more high-precision manufacturing business and the profits may be higher.
Although it is not a simple matter to make things like smartphones more beautiful, it is not difficult to say. The higher profit margin is more due to the improvement of machine efficiency and the care of brother companies. .
But those high-precision manufacturing industries are different. As long as others can't do it but you can produce it yourself, then the benefits will definitely not be comparable to what you are doing now.
However, it is not that easy to achieve success in high-tech fields. If it can really succeed, companies such as precision instruments will have a lot of business handed over to them for production.
For example, the machining center manufacturing of Precision Instrument Company is a high-precision manufacturing, and many skilled workers there receive very high wages, which are no less than those of first-line artists.
There are also components in power systems and aerospace equipment, which require very high manufacturing technology. If Huaxin Confidential Company can undertake this work, then they will receive a lot of such business.
To be honest, companies like these don't actually want to manufacture these things themselves, but they just have no way. First, the confidentiality requirements are high, and second, there are no other companies that can take over this job at the time.
Although it will be impossible to hand over the manufacturing of core components to Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company in the future, some non-core businesses that require higher manufacturing requirements can still be handed over to them.
Therefore, the research and training of technical personnel in this area is a long-term process, and it has not even entered the implementation stage yet. It just has such a plan and goal.
Now their main purpose is to take over the simple manufacturing business of their brother companies, and even just the assembly business at the moment, but they have to walk step by step, and they will eventually be able to find their own way.
Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company currently has about 200,000 employees, which can basically meet the needs of manufacturing smartphones and undertake other assembly and manufacturing businesses.
Now Huawei Technologies and Hengtong Communications have handed over some laptop manufacturing operations to them, but if they want to continue to take on more business, the current number of employees is still a little small.
As for externally undertaking manufacturing tasks from other companies, they are not currently undertaking it, at least not in the short term, because meeting the manufacturing tasks of brother companies is already their current limit.
As a newly established manufacturing company, their mastery of artificial intelligence is still very limited. If they want to go further in the manufacturing field in the future, they still need to work hard in this area.
At the meeting, he also suggested that Ge Qiuyang establish an artificial intelligence research and development team to specialize in the application of artificial intelligence in the field of production equipment.
At present, their ability to write automated programs is not weak. They have also heard about the use of artificial intelligence by other brother companies, but they have not yet identified the application of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing field.
In fact, with the current artificial intelligence and automation technology, the most it can do is to create more flexible robotic arms like those in previous generations. It is impossible to completely replace manual labor.
However, the combination of artificial intelligence and automation technology can still play an important role in production line optimization and efficiency, and he is quite optimistic about this.
The reason why he is not very worried about the use of intelligent technology to replace more manual jobs, resulting in fewer manual jobs and reduced employment, is because there is currently a labor shortage in the country.
As mentioned before, China Housing Corporation made very big moves last year. Last year, construction was only preliminary. This year, it is on track. The number of workers is actually seriously tight.
In addition, the profits of various enterprises have increased significantly this year. The pace of industrial expansion this year is also smaller than last year, and the profits turned over are much higher than last year. As a result, the funds in the hands of Chinese housing companies are even larger.
With so much money in hand, it is natural to use it instead of leaving it in the bank to earn interest. Therefore, starting from this year, the urbanization construction led by China Housing Corporation will inevitably enter an accelerated stage.
Strive to build a number of modern cities in a short period of time, improve the living conditions of residents in major cities, accelerate the domestic urbanization process, and form a larger domestic demand market.
Nowadays, there is no need to worry about finding a job in China, and people nowadays are not so hypocritical. They think that working at a construction site is not enough, and they have to work in a factory. In fact, the salary of working on a construction site is higher than that of working in a factory.
Although the construction site is indeed more tiring than the work in the factory, it is not as hard as in the previous life, because most of the work is to operate the machine. The mechanical equipment of Tianshu Machinery Company is still very good to use and saves a lot of effort.
As the economy continues to improve, the total economic scale has also increased, resulting in an increasing amount of funds used for the construction of the welfare system. As the bulk of welfare expenditures, Chinese education companies have received as much as 500 billion yuan in funds.
In fact, such a large amount of funds cannot be used up based on previous investment. The number of students in compulsory education nationwide is about 300 million, while the number in higher education is about 1.2 million.
Originally, the bulk of education should be on paying teachers' salaries, but currently, there is a serious shortage of teacher resources in both compulsory education and higher education.
Based on the number of students at this scale, if all are fully equipped, the total number of teachers required is between 25 million and 30 million. In fact, the number of teachers currently available is about 8 million.
Many of the teachers here are improvised, and not all teachers have teaching qualifications. Many are barefoot teachers in rural areas who have not been formally established before.
Now that they are all under the management of China Education Company, there is no need to worry about staffing. They are all treated equally and their remuneration is almost the same. Salaries are calculated based on the national average salary.
The teacher allocation rule is that the younger the age, the more teachers are allocated, because students are younger and require more teachers to care for them, such as early childhood and before the third grade of elementary school.
The subsequent configuration is basically one teacher per class. This configuration is mainly because these teachers are not required to attend classes, and the teaching work is basically handed over to intelligent teachers.
Although each teacher works longer hours, it is still much easier than attending classes. All you need to do is maintain classroom discipline. This is the current situation.
As for the teachers who teach sports and arts, there are very few. They all adopt a sesame-sprinkling model and are evenly distributed according to the number of students in each school.
This is why Zhao Yitong has increased its support for Chinese education companies in normal sports and art-related majors, in order to solve the shortage of teachers in this area.
As for the number of teachers in class, there is no rush. Smart teachers are enough to complete all teaching work, and can even do a better job than some teachers. This can be seen from the distribution of scores in various courses across the country.
Overall, in the compulsory education stage, teachers’ salaries are about 100 billion yuan, and the standard nutritional lunch for students is already 1 yuan. This alone costs more than 100 billion yuan every year.
Including the maintenance of school hardware facilities and teaching facilities, it costs 100 billion yuan every year. Based on this calculation, the compulsory education stage alone needs to spend at least 30 million yuan.
In addition, in the past two years, in order to allow colleges and universities to accept more college students, Chinese education companies need to increase their support for colleges and universities, allowing them to expand campuses, strengthen the construction of teaching staff, etc.
Therefore, high standards are set for student training funds. On average, each higher education student is provided with an annual funding of 100,000 yuan, and more than 12 million yuan is spent annually in this regard.
In fact, regular education does not require such high standards. According to the current content of higher education, the average training cost per student is about 10,000 yuan.
The reason why it is mentioned so high is that on the one hand, Chinese education companies do have money, and on the other hand, they hope that these colleges and universities will do a good job in software and hardware to create conditions for subsequent large-scale recruitment of students.
In fact, even if this is the case, Chinese education companies still have tens of billions of funds left. In order to spend these funds, Chinese education companies provide additional expenses such as school uniforms and stationery for students in compulsory education.
To be honest, he never thought about making money from Chinese education companies in the first place. Although he had invested hundreds of billions of yuan in school construction before, he never considered recovering the costs.
Although it is reasonable and legal to do so, after all, it is stipulated in the contract, but in fact, judging from the situation in our country, if he does this, others will not be able to find reason, but it will be a bit of a moral loss.
He is already the richest person in the country, and he still has to deduct money from education funds and put it into his own pocket. This makes some people have opinions about him. In order to avoid trouble, it is better not to make this money.
Not only does it not make any money, but a lot of money has to be put into it, mainly for the construction of new schools, which is in sync with the urban construction plan of the China Housing Corporation.
When the China Housing Corporation designed and planned the new city, it had already taken these schools, nursing homes, hospitals and other public facilities into consideration, and distributed them according to the total population size that could be accommodated.
According to the plan of the China Housing Corporation, in the future, no matter where you are, as long as you can settle in the city, you can send your children to school without any restrictions such as household registration.
The same goes for the other two items. These are the basic rights of the people and should not be distinguished from each other. Therefore, the construction of these facilities costs a lot of money, and the funds mainly come from subsidies from Chinese pharmaceutical companies.
In fact, Chinese medical companies are also in the profit-making stage, but part of these profits need to be used for the construction of new hospitals, just like the construction of new schools, to meet the needs of new city construction.
Anyway, it is impossible for China Housing Corporation to pay for these welfare institutions. The construction of public welfare institutions in new cities requires relevant units to pay for their own construction and management.
The scale of nursing homes is not particularly large, at least not in the city center. In the future, most nursing home construction will be arranged around urban areas with relatively good environments, and the air quality there will definitely be better than in the city.
More importantly, the surrounding land value will definitely not be as high as the land value in the city. There is no need to cluster them in urban areas, and the surrounding areas can also be allocated a larger land area to provide a better retirement environment.
Therefore, education is actually a bottomless pit. It depends on how far you go. In the past, the hardware was actually passable. After all, the scale of investment in this area was there.
However, there are also many shortcomings in many aspects, which need to be improved one by one. If you want to improve these things, spending money is inevitable. For a long time to come, Chinese education companies will be in a state of loss.
Just like at the meeting, Wang Huaijun, the president of China Education Company, raised a very good question, that is, will only high school graduates be recruited in proportion in the future
The reason for this question is that based on the current performance of students in high school education across the country, if the enrollment ratio is still 40%, a lot of talent will be wasted.
Due to the excellent teaching and after-school tutoring work of intelligent teachers, as well as the gradual mental maturity of students in high school, as long as they can be properly guided and allowed to enter the book knowledge, the results will not be too bad.
In addition, the effects of intelligence milk are gradually emerging, and students generally have higher IQs. Even if the educational content in high school is more difficult than in previous lives, it cannot stop more students from improving their grades.
According to Wang Huaijun's report, the average score of high school students in various subjects has reached 92 points. This is very scary. With this score, according to the standards of the previous life, everyone can go to 985 schools.
Now we are facing a real problem. If we still recruit according to proportions, most students will inevitably be unable to go to college. However, these students actually have the foundation to become successful and are likely to make greater contributions to the country in the future.
However, if students are not recruited in proportion, more funds will need to be invested in higher education, and the cost of training students in higher education is undoubtedly much higher than in compulsory education.
If the admission criteria are not based on proportion but only on the basis of performance, for example, all students with an average score of 90 or above can receive an admission notice, then higher education resources will not be able to support such a large number of students.
Moreover, the country does not have so much funds to recruit such a large number of higher education students, but if we just give up, will there be a serious waste of human resources
What is more important is what is the true meaning of education, whether it is the selection of social talents, or returning to the fundamental issue of education. This is a question worth exploring.
Not to mention Wang Huaijun, even Zhao didn't know whether he was happy or worried when he saw these data. If they were recruited according to proportion, then no matter how outstanding these students were, they would not have a chance to get a university education.
In my country's current talent promotion channel, the most important thing is to get into a good university through the college entrance examination. So what is the point of the previous students working so hard? This is what is often called the involution problem.
If Zhao Yi didn't have any big ideals, there would be no need to be so entangled. Anyway, the current university resources are not enough to support such a scale, so naturally there is nothing to consider.
But he had previously told the old man about the issues of the stages of social development. With my country's current industrial and economic strength, if we want to go further, we can only build a knowledge-based society.
The prerequisite for the construction of an intellectual society is to have enough intellectual citizens, and recruiting high school students at a proportional rate is bound to be contrary to this, and will still form an obvious class society.
The existence of a class society is actually the biggest obstacle to a knowledge society. This involves the issue of class maintenance, which will inevitably lead to a greatly reduced role of the knowledge society. On the contrary, there will be serious involution, resulting in a large number of people having to " Lie flat”.
In fact, Zhao Yi is also thinking about this issue. Where will the future go? Should we continue on the current path, or must we carry out another major social reform and achieve leapfrog progress.
Now that the robots in his hands are out, what is the way out for ordinary labor? Anyway, this kind of simple labor will definitely not exist in the future, and even most positions can be replaced by robots.
This is still the role that primary artificial intelligence plays behind the scenes. When intermediate artificial intelligence comes out, even many creative positions can be replaced by artificial intelligence. Not to say that it can do better than humans, at least the two are basically on the same level.
So whether the current production relations are still necessary to exist, Zhao Yi has actually struggled with this issue for a long time. Although he has a clue, he is not sure how to implement it and how to obtain widespread support.
Wang Huaijun watched Zhao Yi ponder for a long time without making a decision. To be honest, he found it quite difficult. After all, the decision was easy to make, but the subsequent things would be difficult.
There are not many high school students now. After all, it has only been two years since universal compulsory education was implemented. Many students dropped out of school before, resulting in a smaller total number of students in higher grades.
However, as long as universal free compulsory education is implemented for more than 10 years, the number of high school students will be quite considerable. If admissions are still based on scores rather than rankings, the scale will be very large.
Zhao Yi pondered for a full quarter of an hour, and finally said to Wang Huaijun: "I know it must be very difficult to make this decision, and the subsequent arrangements will be even more so, and the burden on you will be even heavier.
But I still feel that if we still admit students according to proportions, it will be a huge waste of talents. This is something that I and even society cannot tolerate.
So I think anyone with an average score of 90 or above can be included in the admission list, and then decide which school they go to based on the ranking on the admission list.
If the number of students who can be admitted is not enough to meet the previously set 40% ratio, then 40% of the students will be admitted. What do you think? "
Hearing Zhao Yi's decision, Wang Huaijun took a breath. Although he felt that this decision might be made, the standard line would definitely be set very high. After all, resources were limited.
I just didn't expect that Zhao Yi's standard line was set at the average score of 90. So based on the current data, basically most students can go to college.
More importantly, when students know that they can go to college based on their scores, it will inevitably cause those students who originally thought there was no hope to work harder, because they are not only competing with other students, but also competing with themselves.
Although you may not be able to go to the university of your choice, at least if you work hard, you can still go to a university, which is much better than before.
The difficulty of this decision cannot yet be seen. After all, even if all high schools are admitted, it is still acceptable based on the scale of funds invested in colleges and universities in the past two years, but there is a slight shortage of teachers in colleges and universities.
However, undergraduate study does not have such high innovation requirements. In fact, it is still based on learning book knowledge. Intelligent teachers can solve most problems. Teacher resources are still barely sufficient. However, there are certain difficulties for graduate students and above.
But this year Zhao Yi's intermediate artificial intelligence is about to be completed, and with the ability of intermediate artificial intelligence, the teaching content of graduate students and above is still competent, so the limitation of teacher resources does not exist.
Schools should provide students with practical operational abilities, rather than just letting students learn at the level of book knowledge. Practical experiments are where universities really spend their money.
So the question we are facing now is whether there are enough funds to support this decision. If there are not enough funds, how can we solve it
Anyway, the government doesn't have enough money to invest in this. After all, the government can't just focus on education. There are many places to spend money. If Zhao Yiyi hadn't been involved, the capital investment might not have been as much as it is now.
"Do you really want to do this?" Wang Huaijun asked uncertainly.
"Well, I have already thought about it. You don't have to worry about the teaching staff. I have a solution. What you need to do now is to invest more funds in the construction of school infrastructure and laboratories.
Things in books and theory are still carried out in the current mode. No, the role of intelligent teachers in the compulsory education stage is no worse than that of real teachers, and the effect is even better. "Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Can it be the same? The quality required by teachers in higher education is not comparable to that in compulsory education. Especially for postgraduate and above-level studies, teachers with high quality and innovative ability must be led by them." Wang Huaijun said.
"I know, don't worry. I will upgrade the smart teachers this year. By then, you will be able to see a completely different smart teacher. It is definitely more human than human and is enough to take on this task." Zhao Yi said.
Hearing what he said, although Wang Huaijun was a little suspicious, he did not struggle with this issue. After all, Zhao Yi basically meant what he said and it was impossible to joke about such a serious matter.
Finally, there is the issue of funding. In fact, the use of intelligent teachers can save part of the labor cost, but the experimental cost cannot be reduced, and the overall cost will still increase.
Judging from the current situation, even the annual funding of more than 500 billion yuan is basically sufficient. It seems to be okay now, but it may not be certain in the future.
"What about the funds?" Wang Huaijun asked.
“For now, we still follow the original path. As for what to do in the future, we’ll see what happens in the future. It may no longer be completely free like it is now, and parents may have to contribute part of the funds.
Now that the country's economy is very good, people's incomes are no longer comparable to before. There shouldn't be a lot of pressure to spend some funds on children's higher education.
However, you also need to conduct stricter supervision on the use of funds by major universities to ensure that every penny must be spent on real purposes. Once it is found that something is not in accordance with the rules, it will be investigated and dealt with. "
When he said the last sentence, Zhao Yi revealed a murderous look on his face. He is really determined on the issue of education. It is definitely not a child's play, and he does not allow others to treat this as a child's play.
Finally, Wang Huaijun mentioned that some students bully their classmates. How should this be dealt with? To be honest, students in compulsory education are basically minors, and the law cannot handle this problem, so it has become a thorny issue.
When Wang Huaijun mentioned this, it reminded him of those fearless minors in his previous life. They were simply cruel beyond description, but the law was unable to punish them, which made them so arrogant.
To be honest, for such people, their character may have become bad, and they may bring big problems to society when they become adults, especially if they are not strictly disciplined, the problems will be even greater.
"In this way, you discuss with the Ministry of Education to establish a discipline school in each city. If there are students from normal schools who make serious mistakes and fail to meet the standards of legal sanctions, they will be sent directly to such schools for stricter discipline. Discipline education.
On the one hand, it is to prevent them from continuing to harm other students.
Second, it can serve as a warning to prevent others from following suit, as they feel that doing so will not result in serious punishment.
The third is to completely correct these students who have made mistakes and prevent them from entering society and causing harm to society.
Therefore, this kind of school must be given higher educational authority instead of following the requirements of normal schools. For specific details, you should discuss it with the Ministry of Education and relevant legal workers.
Of course, there are several issues that need to be clarified here:
First, what criteria can trigger compulsory entry into this discipline school for study and discipline? It must be as specific as possible, not vague.
The second is what procedures are used to make this decision. I must emphasize the need to be cautious, the evidence must be conclusive, and there must be no vague and uncertain conclusion of the argument.
Third, the management charter of this kind of special school must be sufficiently detailed. In addition to teachers, the staff must also have permanent representatives from the public security organs, prosecutors, and other agencies to supervise and guide the management inside. " Zhao Yi said.
These requirements are all to avoid the possibility of private use of public equipment, and also to prevent this school from becoming a black hole school. The original intention of establishing such a school is not to punish students who make mistakes, but to allow them to change their minds and start a new life.
To be honest, the formation of students' personalities has a lot to do with the environment in which they live. Among them, family environment is the most important. If there are serious problems in the family environment, parents can even be deprived of their custody rights.
Therefore, surrounding this issue, there are actually many things that need to be solved. It is not as simple as he suggested. The completion of the procedures will not take a while. It will take a lot of time just to formulate the relevant laws. (End of chapter)
