Chapter 408 Breaking Japan’s other leg (Third update, please subscribe)

The reason why people are important is that both industrial and agricultural production are inseparable from people.

There are 2000 million people in Nanyang, and most of them are working people in their prime. To a certain extent, the labor force in Nanyang is even more abundant than that of countries like France and Germany, which have a population of to million. After all, where is the age? .

Sufficient labor force accelerated the construction of Nanyang, but similarly, Nanyang's labor force was also tight. Especially for skilled workers, the most numerous schools in Nanyang are apprentice schools, which are vocational schools. Almost every day, tens of thousands of new immigrants enter vocational schools to learn the basic operation of mechanical equipment.

For the vast majority of people who only have primary school, or even primary school paddling level, this is undoubtedly extremely difficult. Even so, these people are carefully selected. After all, more people are illiterate. If not Thanks to the great development of education during the Anti-Japanese War, it is estimated that it will be more difficult. But no matter how difficult it is to learn, they still study with concentration.

"Focus, carefulness, patience..."

In the classroom, the teacher once again instilled this theory into the workers. This is the company's requirement for skilled workers.

Being in the classroom, Chang Wei listened carefully and took notes, even more seriously. Although he was sixteen years old, he had never been to middle school, only to junior high school. When listening to the teacher's explanation, he would sometimes I'm confused, but that's okay. If not, Mr. Sato will continue to explain.

Although I don't have any good impressions of the little devil, Saoten is very serious and meticulous when teaching.

"...the processing accuracy of mechanical equipment will only be lost but not increased. A machine with a precision of one hundredth of a millimeter can only process workpieces with an error of more than one hundredth of a millimeter. Therefore, even if the assembly error is not considered, , a machine assembled using parts machined with medium machining precision can only achieve lower precision!”

Facing the students in the audience, Saoten pointed at the workpiece model on the stage and introduced it.

Whether it is derogatory or derogatory, if you want to produce first-class products, you cannot do without these four words. Especially in this era where there are no CNC machine tools and all mechanical equipment is made by hand, it is natural to imagine the requirements for senior technicians. Concentration, carefulness, patience...these are the basic prerequisites for manufacturing ultra-high-precision mechanical components.

The teacher's rhetorical question made Chang Wei, who was taking notes, stunned. Most of the other students were the same.

In fact, no matter how high the manufacturing precision was in the pre-computer era, even in the next few decades, when we enter the era of analog logic circuits and how complex the analog logic circuit is, it is essentially a semi-automatic or even fully manual system that truly controls processing. It’s still people. The level of workers determines the level that products can achieve.

Liu Chengyu said,

"Ultra-high-precision processing machinery" is made by human hands. It relies on the "craftsman spirit" of excellence, yes, that's it. "

"I know this……"

Standing outside the window was Liu Chengyu, the former director-general of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. After resigning due to corruption among his subordinates, he quickly received a new appointment - responsible for vocational education. This is also extremely closely related to his previous work.

"To produce parts that are assembled into medium-precision machinery, only high-precision processing machinery can be used. According to this principle, to manufacture high-precision processing machinery, only ultra-high-precision processing machinery can be used. This raises a question : How are the so-called "ultra-high-precision processing machinery" processed and manufactured?"

"Skilled technicians, especially senior technicians, are the talents we need most right now. It's a pity that such talents..."

Liu Chengyu asked as he turned around and looked at Tian Jianjie. Although he was the principal of the 36th Gongtu Middle School, he came from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. Those who came out of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry were definitely all-rounders.

"How many people are there in our country now?" "About 4700 people, including 2100 Germans, 270 Italians, 150 French, and more than 2100 Japanese..."

Tian Jianjie pointed at the teacher who was giving a lecture and said.

"Sir, the teacher Sao Teng who is teaching is of Japanese descent. He has worked in the Shahe Industrial Factory in the Northeast for a long time. He is an employee of the Nanyang Locomotive Company, but he also works part-time here. The greatest advantage of those Japanese workers is that they know how to Speaking Chinese is a great advantage, so the current teachers in vocational schools are basically Japanese."

Regardless of whether you accept it emotionally or not, this helpless reality always needs to be faced. In order to solve the problem of the severe shortage of senior skilled workers, the company started recruiting in Japan as early as three years ago. Unexpectedly, it gained a large number of skilled workers who fled back to Japan from the Northeast. There are a large number of Japanese technicians in the factories in the Northeast. They have been working for a long time. Living in Northeast China, I can speak fluent Chinese.

To a certain extent, these technicians who can speak Chinese are even more important than some experts, because they can not only communicate with other workers, but also participate in apprenticeship training, so that the employment company finally even named "Japanese people who can speak Chinese" "Ethnic skilled workers", and in order to solve the shortage of skilled workers, Nanyang Labor Service Company hired a large number of skilled workers from Japan and issued them work visas.

Li Yian hesitated at first when it came to hiring Japanese skilled technicians, but soon he felt that this was a good thing - and it was a good thing to get rid of the problem. First of all, skilled technicians did not just come by opening their mouths.

In this era, worker training is far more difficult than modern people imagine. Take Japan, for example. Japanese factories generally implement a work-apprenticeship system. When a junior high school student graduates from high school and enters the factory, he must first become an apprentice and watch the master operate by his side, and then the master works hand in hand. This process lasts for 5 years, and then he operates under the supervision of a master for another 5 years. This means that he can truly operate the machine tool independently after 10 years after entering the factory, and it will take at least 15 years before he can truly become a master and be able to lead others. Of course, 10-year apprenticeships are not required for all work positions, but Japanese companies are known to force workers to hone their skills and even develop the so-called "craftsman spirit."

Nanyang does not have fifteen years to cultivate it, and neither does Japan. Poaching Japan's top skilled technicians will have an even greater impact on Japan's industrial manufacturing than taking away machines. After all, it only takes a few days to produce a machine, but it takes at least two years to train a worker who can complete basic operations of machine tools. . If you want to train a first-class skilled technician, it will take 15 years!

These talents are the key to the rise of Japan's industrial manufacturing. After all, in the beginning, Japan did not rely on technology to build a country. It relied on workers who spent ten years or even a lifetime honing their skills. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the extreme emphasis on human resources by enterprises. Squeeze as much as possible to make up for the lack of technical equipment by improving the technical level of workers.

It doesn't matter whether these "artisan immortals" are immortal or not. What's important is to get them into your own factory and squeeze out their value.

Without machines and first-class technicians, if Japan wants to rise... what kind of dream does it have? At least for the next twenty years, the Tokyo Miracle is impossible!

In fact, it is not just skilled technicians, but Japanese experts and scholars from all walks of life are also within the scope of excavation. There are now thousands of Japanese experts and scholars working in companies or schools across Southeast Asia.

"It doesn't matter whether they are Japanese or not. My husband made it very clear. As long as it is beneficial to us, just bring them in. There are not only Japanese professors in universities, but there are also many talented Japanese professors."

When talking about the talents among Japanese professors, Liu Chengyu specifically said.

"A few days ago, when I went to Yongning, I heard someone introduce that Mr. Tang from Yongning University is very likely to win the Nobel Prize this year. Although his discovery was not discovered at Yongning University, there is a Nobel Prize winner. It’s still very difficult. By the way, that Mr. Tang has been naturalized, so after all, he is one of our own! If he really wins the award, it will be our honor!"

When talking about Mr. Tang, who will win the Nobel Prize, Liu Chengyu did not regard him as an outsider at all. After all, he has become a naturalized person in Nanyang. Since he is naturalized, he is one of his own.

At this point, Nanyang is definitely "accommodating all rivers". It has never regarded outsiders as outsiders, but will do everything possible to make them naturalized. After all, talents are extremely valuable in any era, and these talents are not limited to scientists. Skilled craftsmen are also talents.

Since they are talents, of course they should be cherished.
