My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 747 Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl is equivalent to...
Wei Dong has been frequently visiting various universities over the past few years, and he has become somewhat tired of it.

On the contrary, the old feng shui master had a clearer sense of it.

It can be said that the entire city of Chengdu, apart from a very few buildings with political significance, as well as the mass-produced dormitories and factories, is quite old.

Without the era of large-scale infrastructure and real estate development, things really haven't changed for decades.

Schools, especially universities, are the only ones that have the best architecture of this era.

Tall, square, and full of confidence.

Just like the young people walking on campus, they are full of vitality.

Most of them wore green or blue military and police uniforms, which were the standard formal jackets of that era, and many people wore glasses.

There were no fancy wheeled suitcases or designer bags; almost all of them were gray-green military-style satchels.

They were either carrying books or lunchboxes, walking hurriedly, engrossed in reading, gesturing wildly as they discussed.

After waking the female Taoist priest, who had heard that she had come to the university to look for her brother, Wei Dong told her to park the car on the side of the road, and he and Cheng Lang sat on a bench and watched the scene before them.

"This is something you wouldn't have seen decades ago. People who could go to school were no longer from ordinary families. To go to university, your family and clan had to provide strong support. You wouldn't have seen a place where anyone could get in."

Indeed, there is no visible gap between the rich and the poor; everyone is the same.

At least for now.

What Wei Dong saw was different: "As long as you work hard enough, everyone has the opportunity to receive a university education. But what to do with so many university graduates? Making the most of their talents is the most meaningful thing for the country and society."

He himself almost chose to go to university: "When the college entrance examination was reinstated in the 1970s, there were still many connections and favors in the early years, with worker-peasant-soldier students being admitted. Now it's basically on the right track, with admission based on the college entrance examination. So it just so happens that university students have started to be produced in large numbers in these years, and they are assigned to different places by the state..."

As an expert on the Third Front factories, he is very familiar with the situation: "But it just so happens that in the past few years, all the factories and mines that were assigned to him have been undergoing restructuring, and many college graduates went there only to go bankrupt or have their operations shut down."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of He Yuzhu, who was also a college graduate with a guaranteed job assignment. But when he realized something was wrong, he immediately jumped out of that lukewarm environment and struggled in the open sea, while most people could only be boiled alive.

"Therefore, I want to promote college student employment and encourage two-way selection after graduation. This is similar to housing reform; the state cannot allocate housing for students. This would not only be a huge burden on the country but also a great waste for college students..."

Leaning back on the bench, Wei Dong's casual remarks were all tinged with thoughtfulness.

The larger the project, the more likely it is to be inconsistent.

Factories and enterprises face difficulties in restructuring, while the education system is making great strides, continuously producing college graduates, which inevitably leads to the contradiction of indigestion.

So, unable to find a public phone to contact Han Guobin, he had no choice but to write it down.

Just then, a female Taoist priest in a blue robe was seen bouncing and pulling a bespectacled boy with a chubby face over.

Wei Dong took a liking to the other man the moment they met, because the man had a sly and clever air about him: "My name is Lu Tao, I'm a sophomore majoring in telecommunications and computer science. Yuan Yuan told me you're the mountain lord. Did you see the computer fortune-telling program I made? Is there a problem?"

Indeed, for Rang Weidong, who is now a big boss in the computer industry, that program was incredibly simple.

He guessed that there were actually only 366 destinies, and for each day, a corresponding fortune-telling entry would be printed out.

It's a complete scam.

But when Wei Dong was leading a software team of several hundred people at the Xishan Electronics Building, he found that the team lacked this kind of quick wit.

Old Huang and his colleagues were all determined to serve their country and struggled to learn how to use computers. They might not even be good at it, let alone have any talent for it.

They take everything so seriously, making them play games is like insulting their mission.

But with Lin Wangfu's case right in front of you, you need to have a genuine passion for it and find something you're interested in studying.

Moreover, it's precisely by exploring routes that resonate with human nature and aren't so lofty that things might actually turn out well.

Wei Dong then used this to test the other party: "According to your program, inputting the date of birth will give you a destiny result, and those born with the same date will have the exact same destiny?"

Lu Tao indeed had a touch of naive cunning: "Reporting to the Mountain Lord, that fortune-telling comment is actually a three-part structure. The first, middle, and last parts can be combined at will, each with nearly a hundred possible answers, resulting in millions of combinations. The same month and day in different years will definitely be different, and consecutive queries for the same year, month, and day will also be different. Most importantly, there is a hidden selection after inputting the information. Yuanyuan can select the middle, lower, or higher results based on the queryer, so it is very difficult for the same fate to appear."

Wei Dong laughed heartily. He had long said that the domestic electronic software industry needed to rely on a new generation of people to be trained. People trained under the old planned economy system couldn't do this kind of work that required a lot of originality, which was why he vigorously promoted people like He Yuzhu.

The development of the computer industry in mainland China depends on making computers as widely available as possible in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools to cultivate talented children.

Now we've got one: "Here's what we'll do. Report to the school's teachers and department leaders that our X Computer is donating thirty new computers for your teaching use. In addition, we have two semiconductor chip wafer fabs and packaging plants in Shenzhen, where we can recruit a large number of teachers and students for training and internships, and sign employment contracts. If you're interested, let's meet today or tomorrow to discuss it in detail."

Upon hearing that the mountain owner was from X Computer Company, this second-year computer science student certainly understood the value of the offer and couldn't help but agree. Eager to return for the university student job fair, he asked Wei Dong for his contact number and address before leaving: "No matter what, come to the branch office tomorrow. Learn to understand and sign the drafted cable car contract. I'll also have you sign a purchase contract for this fortune-telling software. Here's a 200 yuan deposit; young comrade, stay a while longer and reunite with your brother."

It was obvious that when Lu Tao was talking to Rang Weidong, the female Taoist priest clung tightly to her brother's arm, pressing her face against his arm in a very affectionate manner.

This inevitably reminded Wei Dong of the Dong sisters, who were also orphans and relied on each other for survival.

Unexpectedly, this person is from a large Taoist family and might not be in such a bad situation: "Ah, the sect leader wants me to follow the mountain lord and cultivate diligently."

“That’s right, I can’t let Yuan Yuanzi stay here either. Besides, the area around our school is a bit chaotic. Children of factory workers and miners in the eastern suburbs, as well as unemployed people, like to gather here. It’s more convenient for us to stay with the mountain lord.”

He felt even more eager to kneel down and kowtow to his venerable grandmaster next to him.

Sitting on the bench, Cheng Lang continued chopping wood: "Then you should find a way to get Yuan Yuanzi the necessary paperwork so she can come with me to Hong Kong to carry forward the Iron Fan Sect's talismanic practices."

Yuan Xinzi indeed knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle, thank you, Mountain Lord."

This is actually not difficult.

Just like the way Wei Dong had inquired about going abroad before, as long as there are people outside, Cheng Bo, who definitely has a feng shui master's license in Hong Kong, can issue an invitation letter in the name of his feng shui hall for peer exchange and academic discussion, and the process can be completed quickly here.

Wei Dong had no choice but to take the female Taoist priest back to the branch office.

Han Guobin was also surprised to see this unique attire: "I... are we going to perform a ritual here?"

There were also six Taoist priests waiting there, but they couldn't explain why they were there.

Anyway, they all smiled and didn't beg for alms or donate money; they just leisurely sat down to drink tea and practice Tai Chi.

Actually, the southwestern region doesn't have such a strong religious atmosphere.

Wei Dong suggested that someone arrange for female Taoist priests to find a place for the senior brothers and sisters to rest, and that the old gentleman should also rest.

This place is backed by the offices and guesthouses of the Third Front factory. It is planned to renovate and contract out the space to a budget hotel, so there will still be no shortage of accommodation.

I talked to Han Guobin about college students; everything else was secondary.

Han Guobin immediately began to listen attentively, and only spoke after his boss finished speaking: "According to your idea, we need to help many college students find employment and change the current problems of difficulty in finding employment and waste of college student resources. First of all, we need to have enough job positions and the capacity to take on the work. Let me tell you about my work arrangements."

Wei Dong was pleased to hear this.

That's why he wanted to involve college students. His own key figures, including Lao Geng and Lao Zhang, were good at doing things but lacked initiative.

They find it difficult to accept new things and develop new battlefields.

Even Wei Dong himself passively accepted the changes of the past forty years and is now just reaping the benefits.

The most valuable people are those who learn until they die and are always able to create new opportunities. To date, the person he admires most is Lao Fang.

Moreover, they are all so eager to learn and forward-thinking that they readily give way to younger people when they discover that they are more capable.

That's why Wei Dong also enjoys interacting with college students the most.

Han Guobin was very logical: "We held repeated meetings to discuss and focus on the two major characteristics of Chengdu and Sichuan. The first is the electronics industry, including the School of Telecommunications Engineering, which I heard is going to be restructured and upgraded into the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. There is a very complete electronics industry chain in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu. These are various enterprises that produce and develop supporting products for military communications and radar. So we need to focus on the production and sales of these products. If necessary, we will apply for funding from the head office to acquire and merge some enterprises."

That's right, Han Guobin's direction already has the outline of an electronics group industry.

But Wei Dong deliberately discouraged him: "Don't get into video recorders. The Fourth Ministry of Machine Building is working on the Hualu Project, which is to mobilize the whole country to promote the development of the video recorder industry. My advice to them is that there are already alternative products abroad, so don't waste your energy on this... Yes, you should hurry up and apply for your passport. Come with me to North America next month for an inspection, and then we'll summarize and solidify your idea. Keep going."

He's starting to act like a lord.

Han Guobin was a little dazed by the gift of going abroad, but he quickly shook his head and replied: "Another point is the National Sugar and Wine Fair held in Chengdu last month, which showed us a huge commercial market that can be compared with the auto expo that you organized, Boss. However, they have been doing this for more than 20 years. Sichuan has a wealth of tobacco and alcohol products. Cigarettes are controlled and monopolized, but we can do a lot with alcohol!"

Four years after his rebirth, Wei Dong had never really considered selling alcohol.

But he still didn't comment, just nodded and continued.

Those with real ability don't need heavy blows. Han Guobin had observed carefully: "There are a lot of high-quality and low-priced wineries in Sichuan, but they lack both product packaging from the inside out and a complete national sales network. This is precisely our strength. We can provide a one-stop service from product packaging to brand promotion, advertising, and finally product transportation, sales, and payment collection. I am confident that I can do both of these jobs well."

The former security guard at the tax compound vaguely felt that this was some kind of advanced model, but he couldn't pour out the glutinous rice balls from the teapot.

But I know these two dragons will definitely make money.
