Chapter 459 Showing off one's limited skills before an expert! (Seeking monthly votes)
Anyone familiar with the situation in coastal areas in the 1990s knows that the security situation was far from ideal.

Although the economy is developing at a fast pace, there are all sorts of shady dealings and too many people trying to make a living through shady means.

Wu Feng has no say in other matters!

However, on his own turf, such as the Pengcheng factory group headquarters, and other production bases, Wu Feng always applies the standards set after 2010 to all aspects of the situation.

Putting aside other factors, they place great importance on the education of their employees' children.

They established nearly a hundred schools, from nurseries to kindergartens, and then to primary, middle, and high schools.

At this moment, it's an absolutely incredible investment!

Crucially, Wu Feng places great emphasis on teaching quality and discipline.

With the big boss taking it seriously, the subordinates naturally dare not be careless!
The teachers they hired were either outstanding graduates who had just come from teachers' colleges or retired teachers with good reputations.

The key is the school's security force; just looking at it makes you feel safe!
The deans of education were almost all retired veterans with a certain level of education.

The school is well-funded and provides at least the minimum standard of support in sports, arts, and other extracurricular activities.

The so-called standard is benchmarked against the public schools on Hong Kong Island at that time.

And so it is; although the more than one hundred schools have not been established for a long time, their college entrance examination pass rates are by no means inferior.

The key point is that the level of vocational and technical training within the factory group was quite outstanding by the standards of the time in mainland China.

In fact, it is a place to train qualified reserve technical talents for factory groups, without having to recruit a large number of newcomers of varying quality from the outside.

But in the eyes of students' parents, this is the best way out if their children fail to get into good schools.

Don't be fooled by the captions of later short videos, which almost always claim that everyone is from Tsinghua or Peking University and that the Nine Schools Alliance is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

In reality, after the expansion of university enrollment, it's considered very impressive if the best high schools in a county can achieve a 30% success rate in getting students into universities.

Not to mention that universities still practiced elite education, and students even received subsidies. In the 1990s, when job placement was guaranteed, even a junior college degree was highly valuable.

If someone gets into a third-tier university, their family will throw a big banquet to celebrate!
This means that a potential government official has emerged in the family!

In this era, reading can truly help you jump social classes!
Not every senior high school student is willing to repeat a year for three, four, five, or six years.

Whether or not family circumstances allow it is another matter, but the pressure of senior year in high school is just too great.

At this point, students who fail the exam can directly transfer to a vocational training center to learn a professional skill and craft, and after graduation they can directly enter a factory group to work.

Even if they don't want to work in a factory group, they still have a considerable market outside.

It is said that the factory group, as a benchmark enterprise in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, is not just a company with a good name; its influence is multifaceted.

Putting aside everything else, the qualification certificates issued by the vocational and technical training center within the factory group alone have gained recognition from all the surrounding factories, enterprises, and business owners, big and small.

Especially the certification awarded after basic computer skills training is recognized by other related factories and companies, and it's a significant part of one's salary. Wu Feng took this very seriously; he didn't want to tarnish the reputation of his vocational training center!

There are far too many people making fake certificates these days!

To prevent the certificates issued by his own vocational training center from being used by counterfeiters and ultimately ruining the hard-earned reputation, he spent a lot of money to quickly establish a local area network within the factory group.

All of them are connected by purchased fiber optic cables, forming a regional network platform covering the entire factory group through an internal connection system.

At that time, China's computer technology foundation was very poor, and almost all equipment had to be purchased by the factory groups themselves, who also had to figure out how to use it on their own.

The cost reached hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars!
The effect was obvious. Although the computer's performance was very poor at the time, the fiber optic local area network was still able to quickly search for certain publicly available information.

For example, certificates issued by vocational training centers are displayed in the publicly available information on the internal local area network.

If you have any questions, you can call the factory group's customer service department, and they will help you check and verify the authenticity of certain certificates.

It can be said that the factory group has done a very good job in terms of internal talent development, and it seems to be showing signs of targeted training.

For internal employees, this is naturally a very generous benefit.

Right now, residents outside want to send their children to study here, which is tantamount to seizing resources for factory entry. How could the reaction not be intense?
Who knows if the factory group will stop recruiting when it develops to a certain extent? Wouldn't their own children who just got the vocational skills certificate suffer in silence?

Moreover, due to its good order and excellent teaching staff, the high school education under the factory group is of quite good quality.

Some parents want to send their school-aged children to the factory group's internal school because the college and university admission rates are higher than those of ordinary high schools and even key high schools in Pengcheng.

For this matter, not only the education department of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, but also higher-level authorities have inquired about it.

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng generously granted a certain percentage of external students the right to attend school, and the matter was thus resolved.

Meanwhile, some shrewd individuals who valued the education industry invested heavily in establishing so-called private elite schools and bilingual schools, making a lot of noise about them, but in reality, they were helping the factory group's internal schools alleviate a lot of external pressure.

It's funny, really. Sometime during the day, a private elite high school, supposedly a bilingual school, opened on the outskirts of the factory group.

It is said that the person who founded the school is a formidable figure, someone who wields considerable influence in Europe and America.

The reason for building the school not far from the factory group is self-evident: to attract the children of the factory group's middle and senior management to enroll.

Only they can afford the tuition of 30,000 yuan per semester.

It's also because Wu Feng wasn't there. It's said that the start of the school year was quite lively, with city government members coming to help support the event.

Their promotional slogans were also incredibly loud, claiming they had the capability and resources to help students study in Europe and America.

It is said that it has attracted many newly wealthy people in Shenzhen who have become rich, and they have sent their school-age children to study there so that they can go directly to prestigious universities in Europe and America after graduation.

As a result, the middle and senior management of the factory group had a lukewarm response to such private schools, and none of them sent their children of school age to study there. On the contrary, they preferred the factory group's internal schools.
