The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 371 Urban construction work receives praise; construction training courses are launched.

Also at the end of April, IBM launched its first personal computer.

Qian Jin paid attention to foreign media and newspapers and discovered that at this time, Europe and the United States were full of talented people, and the personal computer had ignited the electronic media circle as soon as it was launched.

At this very moment, the provincial government convened a meeting of leading cadres from various cities and prefectures to discuss the issue of resettlement of idle labor in society.

Qian Jin attended the meeting as the captain of the Haibin City Labor Assault Team.

He became the only non-city government official present at this important meeting.

He was essentially a special guest, and he spoke at the meeting, sharing his experience in resettling educated youth returning to the city and unemployed youth in Haibin City.

Qian Jin proposed policies such as opening the door to attract talent and combining workers, peasants and soldiers to take a new path, which became a major achievement of the conference.

Upon hearing this, the top leader highly praised his achievements:

"Comrade Qian Jin led the team to achieve remarkable success in Haibin City, especially in solving the problems of educated youth and the ideological transformation of former members of the labor shock brigade. He did a very good job."

"I recently learned through personal channels about the reactions of some citizens in Haibin City. They all say that these labor shock troops are no longer a nuisance in the eyes of their neighbors, but have won the respect of society with their own hands and sweat, and have become true 'city beautifiers' and 'builders'!"

"I believe this transformation is a huge success of the 'work-for-training, work-for-stability' model, and a valuable experience that Haibin City has explored in solving the problem of unemployed youth and promoting social harmony and stability..."

He personally issued instructions at the meeting, requiring all departments to learn from the experience of the Haibin City Labor Assault Team and combine the solution of unemployed youth employment with social governance and improvement of people's livelihood.

The meeting was given extensive coverage by higher-level newspapers, which also published a commentary that included the evaluation of the Haibin City Labor Assault Team by relevant leaders, praising Haibin City's approach as "pioneering and exemplary."

The change in public perception of the labor shock team members is something Qian Jin is quite proud of right now.

The praise from higher-ups is true.

In May, the coastal city is lush with green grass and red flowers, and the sun is warm and gentle. People rarely stay at home, especially the elderly. When they have nothing to do, they will come out to bask in the sun and chat.

When Qian Jin returned to Haibin City, he could always hear residents' opinions about the Labor Assault Team through street gossip on his way to and from get off work and on his way to inspect work.

The public's perception of the team members, who were previously referred to as "vagrants," has now undergone a dramatic change.

In the past, many residents would frown and shake their heads when these people were mentioned.

The main problem is that a group of educated youth who returned to the city without jobs tend to get together and do things that are not worth doing. Stealing and hitting children are minor issues. Some hormone-fueled young men will even go to the women's restroom to peep!

In old city streets like Songshan Road and Taihangshan Road, neighbors were very resistant to the task force members.

Even when the emergency response team offered to help with cleaning, they refused. A few years ago, there was a saying in society:

The thieves in Haibin City are probably connected to the special task force. During the day, the task force enters residential buildings under the pretext of cleaning and doing chores, but in reality, they are just scouting the buildings. At night, thieves and pickpockets target these buildings to steal and rob.

Now it's completely different. When Qian Jin occasionally passes by the crowd, all the comments he hears about the assault team members are now positive:
"Those guys in the commando team have changed their ways now; they're really getting things done..."

"My son used to be idle, but now he's working very hard on the construction team, and he's become much more sensible!"

"Their garment factories are amazing, they must have opened three already? I see they're producing Qiong Yao costumes now? Wow, their business must be booming..."

The People's Garment Factory expanded rapidly, mainly because it was indeed profitable.

Qian Jin's business acumen is overwhelming for today's businessmen; he does nothing but follow trends.

When "Manhunt" was released, bell-bottoms and trench coats were produced.

With the release of "Man from Atlantis," they started selling cowboy clothing and hats again.

When the movie "Romance on Lushan Mountain" was a hit last year, the clothing factory rushed to produce red sweaters and white suits for women.

This year, the mainland began to import some films from Taiwan, such as "Outside the Window," "Parting and Reunion," and "The Dream's Clothes." These Qiong Yao-style stories quickly conquered the hearts of devoted men and women across the land.

Brigitte Lin and Lu Hsiu-ling quickly became popular, and girls followed suit with their long, straight, center-parted hair and clothing.

At that time, film crews in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan didn't have much money, and many costumes and props were shared, so the female and male stars didn't wear many different outfits in the movies, and the styles were similar.

So the clothing factory immediately changed its designs and started producing costumes reminiscent of those worn by heroines in Qiong Yao novels, which continued to sell well...

At this time, the state-owned garment factories were in a state of chaos due to their attacks. They had no choice but to comply with the national production plan and could not produce garments at will.

Just like the clothing style revision report submitted by the Sixth Cotton Textile Factory of Haibin City, which came down this year, the factory director took a quick look at it.

Hey, the report was submitted early last year, and it approved their production of the bell-bottoms that were popular the year before!

The garment factory expanded rapidly, accommodating a large number of female educated youth and team members.

Qian Jin felt that relying on just one leg to make a living was not enough, so he also planned to open a food factory and a pastry shop.

This job can also accommodate a large number of female workers.

But there's no rush.

To open a food factory, pastry shop, or dessert shop, you need factory buildings and shops, but you also need materials, equipment, and talent.

Materials are easy to find. Qian Jin has extensive connections and strong resources, so he can purchase the raw materials needed to produce simple pastries without using the online store.

There's no way to get the equipment, so we have to buy it from the mall through Golden House, and we'll have to train the staff ourselves.

Where is the training held?
How to conduct training?

Qian Jin had no other choice but to conduct training at the training school and select a group of skillful female team members to become self-taught baking experts based on baking materials.

He assigned the relevant tasks, with teams going to select sites and teams selecting personnel.

A new door to the industry has been opened.

However, the focus of work in May and June remained on the construction team.

Training courses for construction workers should begin.

As reports about the Labor Assault Team increased, and as provincial newspapers began to cover their news.

Now, newspapers in Haibin City are starting to delve into the commando team, interviewing some of the work pacesetters, model workers, and outstanding individuals, calling on the whole society to learn from them.

Qian Jin felt that the interview work should not only focus on these outstanding workers, but also on some team members who have made rapid progress.

So several former troublemakers, now good workers, were interviewed by reporters and featured in newspapers.

This trick is still quite useful.

Most of the troublemakers in the commando unit used to be unruly but passionate individuals. Now, seeing themselves featured in the newspaper as role models, they suddenly felt pressured.
Now that I'm being recognized as an outstanding talent in the newspaper, I can't do anything shameful anymore.

The inferiority complex, confusion, and even hostility that once permeated them were quickly replaced by a sense of pride and belonging.

This sense of recognition and value is more exhilarating to them than any material reward.

Qian Jin took the opportunity to add a "Most Improved Award" to the company. Not only those who do a good job can be recognized, but those who strive to improve will also be rewarded!

These measures combined have made the workers more motivated and set higher standards for themselves.

Because of historical inertia, even after the reform and opening up, people now know that money is useful.

However, the power of role models is still great, especially among passionate young people who are not yet focused on money but rather on emulating them.

Applications to join the construction team surged once again.

Under these circumstances, the work of setting up construction training courses was put on the agenda.

The construction team began selecting and accepting outstanding laborers suitable for construction work in early May, and then sent them to the classroom together.

At this time, the construction team's social work was still ongoing, and Qian Jin made a tiered arrangement for the trainees:
One-third of the veteran team members enrolled first. Among the new recruits were some former educated youth who had worked on construction sites during their time in the countryside. They were assigned to the construction brigade to start work directly. Other young team members also enrolled and received training.

The training course lasts for half a month. After two courses, which is one month later, the trained construction team members are sent to the construction site in rotation, and the old team members who have not received training are recalled for training.

Just like the border war today, various military regions take turns participating in the war on the border and receive combat training.

Members of the construction team take turns attending training courses to receive training that combines theory with practice.

This is very important.

Qian Jin knew the importance the country placed on infrastructure in the 21st century, and the current Labor Glory Construction Brigade would be the first heavy industry project in his hands.

If we want to plant the banner of "Labor is Glorious" all over Haibin City, and even the whole province and the whole country, relying on the current thousand or so people is not enough.

We must build a larger, more technically skilled, and capable professional construction team!
The key lies in talent!
The training course was established in mid-May.

The trainees handed over their work and entered the now-vacant training school to prepare for classes.

Qian Jin put a lot of effort into improving the quality of the teaching staff.

Theory and practice should be combined.

Experienced senior technicians in the technical team serve as practical instructors, systematically and systematically passing on their decades of expertise.

Through coordination with educational institutions, they hired retired teachers from the Provincial Architectural Engineering College, Haibin City Building Materials Vocational School, and Xilin City Metallurgical Technical School to teach theoretical knowledge of the construction industry.

Considering that we are still in the initial stage, Qian Jin does not need teachers to teach macro-level knowledge such as building accounting, architectural design, urban and rural planning and management, civil construction, building equipment, construction project management, and municipal engineering.

The training program emphasizes subject-based teaching for precise talent development.

The first training course was designed based on the actual needs and future development direction of the construction team, and included core professional classes such as carpentry, bricklaying, and masonry.

Then, in order to fill the gap and expand the field, a plumbing and electrical engineering class was specially added.

These training courses are not very useful for retired teachers from colleges and universities, but that doesn't matter.

Construction training courses will be a long-term project, with the first ten sessions training only construction workers or skilled workers.

Within the first ten sessions, the experienced teachers will identify talented individuals. Then, starting from the eleventh session, they will offer more advanced professional training.

This was a decision made after careful consideration by Qian Jin.

He's not a professional, so his decisions are bound to have many problems.

Fortunately, it's only the beginning of the 1980s, and society and the country have given him time and room for error, allowing him to slowly build his own loyal team.

Qian Jin is indeed very good to his team. Take this training program for example. The trainees only need to pay for their own meals in the cafeteria. The training is free, and they can even receive paid training.

The Labor Assault Team continued to pay their salaries as usual.

But just like when he was training his subordinates in the foreign business office, the assessment was very strict!
Those who do not study diligently or fail the assessment will be immediately dismissed.

Show no mercy on this!

Before the construction training course began, Qian Jin arranged for Wei Xiongtu to hang wooden boards on both sides of the training school's gate. The boards displayed a couplet that Qian Jin dictated, Wei Xiongtu wrote, and a stonemason carved:
Those who are idle and lazy should not enter this door; those who do not have a proper job should go elsewhere.

The launch of this training course has generated a great deal of buzz, with both the municipal and district governments providing corresponding policy support.

Han Zhaoxin also personally issued an instruction: "The establishment of the construction training course focuses on talent cultivation. The training school must be run effectively and efficiently to provide the city with technical backbones!"

The emergence of training courses has also sparked social discussion, and the topic of conversation on the streets has once again shifted:

"What? Those kids from the labor shock brigade are going back to school? Hey, what can they learn? Oh, carpentry, bricklaying, plumbing?"

"What the heck? They get paid while they're in school? Really? This is paid school? That's awesome!"

"Wow, these kids are lucky. They're learning carpentry, bricklaying, and plumbing! These are all skilled trades! Won't they earn way more than ordinary workers after learning these skills?"

"Can't a construction site be full of foremen? There are more workers doing the work, right? What does Chief Qian mean by this? Why does he need to train so many foremen?"

"Don't you understand? Boss Qian is a very ambitious man. Look at the stalls of this construction team, look at the stalls of their restaurants and clothing factories. Now there are still their small newspaper stands on every street corner. Their people are everywhere..."

Han Zhaoxin's integration of the city's labor shock brigades into his hands did indeed have this advantage.

There are so many people!

Tens of thousands of people!

Even now, there is a steady stream of educated youth returning to the city, and some are applying to join labor shock brigades.

1981 marked the peak of the large-scale return of educated youth.

Of course, this also requires Qian Jin to be capable enough; otherwise, the city's labor shock brigades would not be diligent and energetic laborers in his hands, but rather countless hungry and thirsty tigers!

With a large number of participants, the first training session consisted of twelve classes, with a total of six hundred workers and team members sent in.

The first day of school was a beautiful day, with clear skies.

The workers and team members gathered together and then dispersed to form ranks. Surprise, excitement, anticipation, and trepidation—a complex mix of emotions clung to the young faces of the educated youth.

Just like the discussions on the streets now, they are full of confidence in their future.

In this day and age, having a skill in the city means having a job.

If this skill could be put to good use in the labor assault brigade, it would be like having a golden rice bowl.

The wages of the labor shock brigade have been raised to the same level as those of new workers in state-owned factories.

Of course, the government and neighborhood committees provided strong support in this regard, and according to regulations, they contributed half of the funds.

The sun shines brightly on the playground.

Qian Jin stood on the platform, gazing at his subordinates.

With only six hundred people, he felt it was a dense, overwhelming mass. If the entire Labor Assault Brigade were gathered together for a meeting, what a spectacular scene that would be.

He never imagined he could manage so many people.

It's actually quite simple.

He's always winning battles, which makes leading a team easy. Only when a team suffers a defeat can you see a person's true ability to lead.

Qian Jin knew he lacked real expertise, so he had been actively seeking out management talent. He hoped this training program would uncover some talent, which was why he was so eager to rehire the retired teachers from vocational colleges.

These veterans have spent their entire lives dealing with people; their eyesight is sharper than X-rays and ultrasounds.

They will discover management talents in the class, and then Qian Jin will find a way to provide them with more professional training, improving their abilities level by level, so that sooner or later there will be enough talented people under their command to get things done.

As the stirring "March of the Volunteers" resounded.

The neatly arranged queue was bustling with people, red flags were waving, and loud singing drowned out the sound from the speakers, echoing along the Kunlun Mountain road.

Qian Jinfeng looked down at the Zhongshan suit he was wearing.

Next time I'll be wearing a green military uniform, then I won't be Commander Qian anymore.

The six hundred team members, dressed in uniform dark blue work clothes and with brand-new "trainee certificates" pinned to their chests, stood in straight lines, their spirits high, exuding the atmosphere of a youth army.

The trainees in this cohort are between twenty-five and thirty years old. Their faces bear the tan and determination honed by their time in the countryside, but their eyes are filled with curiosity about new things and aspirations for the future.

People in this age group have the best combination of social experience and learning ability.

The red flag was raised on the playground, fluttering in the sea breeze. Next was the official opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony was simple yet solemn.

Instead of lengthy speeches from leaders, Qian Jin invited all the teachers and mentors to the stage one by one.

One person comes up and introduces themselves.

Afterwards, he picked up the megaphone and spoke:
"Comrades and students, today our construction engineering training course officially begins!"

"This is the first training course, and you are the first batch of trainees. I want to tell you clearly that if you study hard and pass the assessment, you will be the main force in the future construction of Haibin City!"

The applause was thunderous!
Qian Jin waved his hand, as if cutting through a tangled mess with a swift knife, and the enthusiastic applause immediately ceased, leaving the playground silent once more.

He continued, "Here, you will follow the best teachers and mentors and learn the most practical skills!"

"Carpenters, bricklayers, welders, painters, plumbers, pipe fitters, steelworkers, scaffolders, etc.! Different classes have different courses, but the amount of knowledge learned is the same, and the difficulty of the assessment is also the same!"

"After completing your training, the school will issue you a training certificate, making you certified skilled workers! You will be the technical backbone of the Labor Glory Construction Brigade! You will be the vanguard in the follow-up work of the old city renovation in Haibin City!"

"Remember, knowledge changes destiny, and skills shape the future. You no longer have the opportunity to go to university, so I hope you cherish this opportunity and study hard!"

"Here's a saying for you: 'A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.' I look forward to seeing you return after your studies and demonstrate your skills!"

"Study hard! Show your skills!" Six hundred trainees shouted in unison, their voices loud and clear.

Chen Jingdi announced the class assignments and course schedule in a hoarse voice.

Currently, the main classes are carpentry and masonry, followed by plumbing, welding, and steel reinforcement. There are the fewest students in plumbing, painting, and scaffolding.

The woodworking class focuses on practical skills, and the courses were developed through discussions between Qian Jin and experienced carpenters and professional instructors.

Woodworking blueprint reading, timber identification, use and maintenance of hand tools (saws, planes, chisels, axes), mortise and tenon structure making, door and window making and installation, simple furniture making, formwork erection, etc.

The bricklayers' team had the most members, with four teams totaling two hundred people.

What they need to learn are essential skills required for construction sites.

The first phase includes foundation excavation and treatment, learning masonry material identification and proportioning, basic masonry skills, concrete foundation construction (mixing, pouring, vibrating, curing), floor paving, simple plastering, and tile laying.

In the second phase, they will also have to learn rubble masonry, various wall construction methods, control of wall verticality and flatness, step construction, and simple decorative moldings.

If they can complete these two training sessions and pass the assessment, they will have the skills of a senior construction worker.

The teachers in the plumbing and electrical engineering class were invited by the educational institution from public vocational colleges, and they also learned practical application skills.

In terms of electrical engineering, you need to learn the basics of electrical engineering, such as current, voltage, resistance, and safe use of electricity. You also need to learn how to use common electrical tools, such as test pens, wire strippers, and crimping pliers. Furthermore, you need to learn how to connect and insulate wires, install lighting circuits, and install distribution panels.

The content covered in the water section is relatively limited, including water supply and drainage pipe connections, valve installation, and basic maintenance.

School starts, classes begin, and assessments are conducted on the same day.

A newborn calf has that fierce, defiant spirit...

After the class assignments were completed, the team members began to enter their respective classrooms.

There is a list written in calligraphy on a large red paper at the classroom door, next to which are the classroom rules and student conduct guidelines.

Qian Jin has this habit: he first establishes rules for everything, and then rewards and punishments are carried out according to those rules, leaving no room for complaint or resentment.

Now he finally has a professional school under his control.

Unlike back then, in the dormitory building's 204 and the warehouse study room, we no longer had to hang small wooden blackboards.

Now it's a proper blackboard, plastered with cement, and the blueprints for the upcoming lessons are already hanging on it.

The carpentry team had "mortise and tenon structure diagrams" hanging up, the bricklayer team had "wall masonry diagrams" hanging up, and the plumbing and electrical team had "lighting circuit diagrams" hanging up, and so on.

Qian Jin strolled around looking at the pictures, and Wei Xiongtu whispered, "Actually, we'll have to hang your half-body portrait in the training classes in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin laughed on the spot: "Are you out of your mind? You're trying to create a personality cult? Even if you're going to have a personality cult, you can't worship me, otherwise it'll become a laughing stock. If it gets to the ears of the city government leaders, they'll probably criticize me harshly."

Wei Xiongtu said, "I know it's not good for this to get out, but the Labor Assault Brigade is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't lead the team full-time. Under these circumstances, the team will become more and more difficult to manage."

"Cultivating a personality cult is not good, but it's a good way to lead a team."

"Just like Yuan Shikai's training of troops at Xiaozhan, why did he want the soldiers to only recognize him as the supervising officer? It was to make it easier to lead the troops."

Qian Jin waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. Things are different now. We can't do things like this."

"Actually, it's very simple to get the team members to recognize me. As long as I can consistently give them material and spiritual rewards that others can't provide, why would they not recognize me or recognize others?"

"Whether they join a garment factory, a restaurant, or a construction team, they're just going to work. What do they want from working? To be my boss? To be my servants?"

"Shit!"

"Actually, they just want to make a living. If they can gain social support and recognition on top of that, that would be even better!"

Wei Xiongtu nodded after listening: "What you said makes sense."

Qian Jin clapped his hands and spread them out: "So my purpose in running businesses and various organizations is very simple."

“I, Qian Jin, can support so many people. I pay them reasonable salaries and help them achieve appropriate social status. If other organizations can offer them higher salaries and higher social status, then they can poach them.”

"I welcome them poaching our talent; don't worry that we're just doing all the work for someone else."

"President Han sent me a very formal document yesterday, saying that he was encouraging me to contribute talent to society."

“Principal Wei, I, Qian Jin, have a clear conscience in this regard. I did not intend to seek any personal gain. I just thought that since the time was right and my abilities were suitable, I should make some contributions to society.”

"I am a supporter of Comrade Leader, and I will always follow Comrade Leader's guidance—to serve the people!"

Wei Xiongtu smiled at him: "In the beginning, Xiaoqing chose a boyfriend but then dumped him. I once said that she had bad taste in men."

"Xiaoqing was very unconvinced, saying that she had the best eye for men, and it was true. She said that she took a liking to you at first sight, because she felt that you were a dragon among men, and it really was true."

Qian Jin laughed loudly upon hearing this: "You believe her nonsense? She took a liking to me at first sight because I am handsome, upright, and have a good temperament!"

Wei Xiongtu stammered, "Oh, ah, I see. Well, class is starting, let's go listen to the lesson..."

He turned to leave, but Qian Jin chased after him angrily, asking, "What do you mean? What is the meaning of your passive retreat?"

Classes began in all classrooms.

Although the training is mainly hands-on, Qian Jin not only wants the experienced workers to teach them professional skills, but also to teach them theoretical knowledge.

Just like the Red Army learning as they marched, if the soldiers could shoot and kill the enemy, why did they need to learn to read and do math?
Because knowledge is the foundation of all skills!

However, the construction team currently has a greater need for practical talents, so Qian Jinxian prioritizes arranging for experienced workers to teach skills, while theoretical classes are postponed. But he still wants to cultivate the learning habits of the team members from an early age.

He studies every day now, learning English and Japanese.

In his previous life, his English level was only at the CET-4 level. Now, if he systematically learns test-taking skills, he could easily pass the TEM-8 (Test for English Majors-Band 8).

In addition, the main teaching task now falls to the experienced teachers.

They are not highly educated and find it difficult to teach theoretical courses, but their advantage lies in their rich practical experience.

Therefore, instead of using profound formulas and theorems, they use the simplest language and the most vivid metaphors, combined with cases from their decades of working experience, to break down complex processes into easily understandable steps and key points.

Qian Jin and his companion went to the carpentry workshop.

Carpenter Zhang held up a self-made dovetail tenon model and gestured as he said, "Look, this tenon and mortise joint is like two people shaking hands. The tenon is the fist, and the mortise is the palm."

"A fist needs to be strong, so the tenon needs to be sturdy; a hand needs to be precise, so the mortise needs to be the right size."

"If you hold on tight, it's secure! If it's crooked or loose, then no matter what kind of wooden structure it is, it will wobble..."

The two then went to sit in on a bricklayer's work.

The master bricklayer took a brick and a trowel and gave an impromptu demonstration on the platform: "To teach you how to build a wall, I'll start with this 'three-in-one method'."

"What is it? Well, it's just a brick, a shovel of mortar, a kneading and squeezing—that's it."

"The key points are simple, called the three essentials: when using real equipment, the mortar must be full, the bricks must be laid flat, and the lines must be taut; and when it comes to ourselves, we need to have accurate eyes, steady hands, and a calm mind."

"Don't rush, or you'll go astray..."

The electrical engineering course started with theory: "You have to be able to distinguish between the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire. Putting everything else aside, not being able to tell these three apart can be fatal. If you connect them incorrectly, tripping the circuit breaker is a minor issue; getting an electric shock is a major one!"

"Everyone, take out your notebooks. I'll tell you a mnemonic, passed down from our ancestors: 'Left neutral, right live, top ground.' Before you start working, turn off the power! And always keep your test pen handy!"

"Safety is the top priority for plumbers and electricians!"

"Alright, now that we've learned about the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire, let's get down to business and start learning about electricity. I need to explain to you what electricity is all about first..."

The training school has very good facilities.

The tables and chairs are all made of solid wood and freshly painted, and notebooks and ballpoint pens are provided uniformly.

These laptops are different.

It's like an electrical engineering notebook, containing basic circuit diagrams and various fundamental electrical engineering concepts.

Needless to say, it's a product from the online store.

The team members quickly took notes on every word and key point of the master craftsman, their attitude was upright and their writing was fluent and powerful.

Qian Jin nodded in agreement: "What teachers teach, you can't remember; what society teaches, you can't forget. If they had studied hard when they were in school, would they be in this situation today? Oh, they basically didn't have a good learning environment when they were in school."

Wei Xiongtu said, "Yes, it's not that they don't like to study or can't stand the hardship of studying. Many of them missed that opportunity. They could take the college entrance examination starting in 77, but their foundation was too weak, so the college entrance examination was meaningless for them."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

The learning opportunities provided by the Labor Assault Team are invaluable.

It's paid learning!
The team members not only learn skills to make a living, but also have a stable income, which is a remarkable benefit in today's world.

Nowadays, older people believe that to learn a skill, one must become an apprentice and serve the master. How can one learn something real for free and also get paid?
Therefore, the trainees who come to receive training, as long as they are not reckless, cherish this opportunity to learn.

After all, that's what their student handbook says.

Each team member has two training sessions, during which the school will select talent for further training and development.

Who doesn't want to be talented? Who doesn't want to be a leader?
If you want it, you have to seize this opportunity!

From the very first day of classes, the lights in the training school often stayed on until late at night.

Qian Jin would come over from time to time to check on the team members' learning progress.

The young people are making rapid progress.

They are no longer just assault team members who can only carry sacks and dig ditches, but have gradually transformed into construction craftsmen who have mastered a skill and can work independently.

Wei Xiongtu gave him very positive feedback, saying that the team members selected in the first phase studied very hard and were definitely the future of the Labor Glory Construction Brigade. They could even meet Han Zhaoxin's expectations and become the hope for urban construction in Haibin City!

District leaders also came to inspect their study and work, and then the district government presented them with a large cast iron object:

A furnace!
The proper furnace was a furnace discarded by a steel factory.

The district government believes that the training school is forging a new generation of industrial workers who take pride in their skills, and is a melting pot of technical talent.

Upon learning of this, the city government sent another torch to place on the furnace.

This also has a symbolic meaning.

This means that the skilled workers trained in the school will be passed down from generation to generation, ensuring a continuous flow of talent...

Now the training school is truly famous.

The city government is negotiating with the district government to give the training school a vacant lot behind it and an old-fashioned park to expand the school's scale.

Upon seeing this, Qian Jin quickly scheduled another batch of training sessions.

Pastry chef training courses were offered to female team members and pastry shops and food factories.

This job is more difficult.

Because everything has to start from scratch.
