Chapter 148: R: Cat Getan's Vocational Education
The history of the faculty cafeteria at Cat Getan University is very old, and it is one of the first buildings built in this university.
It still uses the traditional club restaurant ordering system. When Schiller entered the door, he turned and shook the water droplets off his umbrella outside the door. Victor stepped aside and said, "Fortunately you're here. Who would have thought it would rain halfway?"
"Cat Getan is like this. If you don't carry an umbrella with you, you have to be prepared to be drenched like a drowned rat."
"Fairy Wood Romance"
Shaking the black umbrella, then folding it inward, tying it up, and putting it on the umbrella stand by the door, when Schiller entered the door, the heat in the room covered his glasses with a layer of white mist, so he simply took off his glasses.
Victor looked back at the umbrella and said, "Where did you buy this umbrella? It looks like good quality. I'll go buy one too."
"Do you know Green Street? It's on the East Side, a street next to the Living Hell. In the back alley there, there is an umbrella maker."
"God, you're too old-fashioned. What era is this, and you're still looking for a handmade umbrella maker?"
"You also said it, this umbrella looks like good quality."
The two chatted while finding a round table by the window to sit down. After a while, a waiter came to take the order. Victor said, "I'm really a bit unaccustomed. The restaurant at Cat Getan University is too retro. When I was in California, the restaurants there were already window-style."
"On the contrary, I don't like the window system. Those greasy bacons are all piled together, and there are bread slices cut unevenly..."
Schiller took the menu and said while looking, "It seems you guys have been busy again recently. Is there anything going on in the Science College?"
"Don't even mention it." Victor took the menu handed by Schiller, pointed it to the waiter, sighed, and said, "I'm so busy, isn't it all because of you?"
"But I heard that the cold chain project has recently come to an end. You should have been free by now."
Victor showed a helpless expression and said, "You actually don't know? Those gang bosses have been crazy for people recently!"
"They especially lack people with management skills. Almost everyone in Cat Getan City who can manage is at Cat Getan University. The gangs came to borrow people, and the principal could only agree."
"But how many faculty members are there at Cat Getan University? The positions the gangs lack are probably far more than the people they can borrow, right?"
"That's the problem." Victor tapped the table with his finger and said, "They can't borrow so many people, but without management personnel, the entire management will be in chaos, so they can only talk to Principal Xie Dun again..."
At this time, the food ordered was just served. Schiller asked while cutting the steak, "What do they want to do?"
"Just as you predicted before, they want to open a school."
Victor took the wine in front of him and took a sip. The cold wine made him smack his lips. He said, "Cat Getan only has three high schools in total, and the enrollment rate is less than 10%. Most people who study honestly don't want to take the exam for Cat Getan University, let alone stay in this city."
"They want to open their own school, that is, a private school, and then teach them the things they need."
"I remember Cat Getan should have private schools?" Schiller thought for a while and said, "Where is it? It should be in the south, right? There are two private boarding schools..."
"You also said it, it's in the south. That's a school in the rich area, which is a place for rich people to entrust their children. The things taught there are useless—musical instruments, painting, hockey. Do you expect gangs to use this knowledge to manage business?"
"So what they want to open is a vocational middle school?" Schiller turned the scrambled eggs with a fork and said.
"It can't be called a middle school." Victor swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and continued, "It can only be called a vocational school. Anyone can go to it, but the gangs should choose a batch of people to enter, mainly to cultivate management."
"To be honest, they are a bit out of line." Victor complained, "They asked me to repair the cold storage for them, but I asked all the warehouse managers, and none of them could understand the reading table. They couldn't even understand the most basic readings. How are they going to manage the warehouse?"
"So those gang bosses intend to train their own people to solve this problem?"
"That's right, and they can't find teachers, so they can only come to Cat Getan University to borrow people." Victor shrugged and said, "I just hope I'm not the one borrowed, but I guess I'm definitely on the list."
"Should be able to choose not to go, right?" Schiller put down the knife and fork, drank some water, and continued, "Xie Dun can't tie you over."
"That's what I said, but in Cat Getan, more than a dozen gangs invite you jointly, do you dare not go?"
"It seems you already understand the ecosystem here." Schiller smiled and said, "Welcome to Cat Getan, welcome to this big stage."
"And the price they offered is quite good, several times my salary."
"Are you still short of money now? Didn't you take the commission of the Twelve Families and are responsible for maintaining and operating their cold chain industry? The remuneration should be enough, right?"
"But no one will think they have too much money." Victor said very bluntly, "The operation work doesn't take much time, and the daily teaching at Cat Getan University... you know, it's basically equivalent to nothing. If the price they offer is suitable, it's not impossible for me to be a part-time teacher."
"And teaching them to read the reading table is also convenient for myself. If they can maintain the warehouse themselves, I don't have to run back and forth."
Schiller nodded. What Victor said made sense. He estimated that most professors who agreed to teach part-time at vocational schools thought the same way.
Professors more or less took private jobs from gangs. When taking jobs, the remuneration offered by gangs was quite tempting, but once they arrived at the scene, most people were dumbfounded. This group of gang members in Cat Getan used guns and weapons quite well, but once they encountered such technical problems, they were all white-handed.
Not knowing how to read the reading table was light. They didn't know how to use slightly more complex switches. If professional words exceeded 5 letters, they had to look up the dictionary on the spot. They asked the whole team, and there were not many who could say the full operation process.
In essence, because the gang industry in Cat Getan is too mature, most people are destined to eat by simple and rude methods from birth, and will not consider learning any technology. When the industry begins to upgrade, many people in this city suddenly find that the role of guns has become smaller, and the role of knowledge has become larger.
However, their thinking has formed a kind of qualitative, and they have also missed the best learning stage. Most people don't understand these, and don't want to learn those complex technical problems.
But the rise of the logistics industry has led to drastic changes in personnel needs.
Originally, if it was a job of collecting protection fees, the small leader didn't need to know more than the thugs underneath. It might just be that the qualifications were old, and he just collected protection fees. He could count the money clearly.
But now it won't work. A general manager of a warehouse must be able to do everything. At least he must be able to read the reading table, constantly pay attention to the temperature reading, product status, and others underneath must also constantly pay attention to the entry and exit of goods.
Originally, these professional jobs could be hired by professional people, but everyone knows the reputation of Cat Getan. People with healthy brains will not come here to play with their lives. Gangs can't hire a few professional accountants even if they spend a lot of money, so they can only go up themselves.
Professional knowledge is not enough, and they don't want to learn, but management talents are lacking everywhere, and they can't hire outsiders. Gang bosses only have one choice, and that is to open training classes.
And because the teachers at Cat Getan University have more or less taken private jobs from gangs, gang bosses successfully contacted them and offered high prices to hire them as teachers for private schools.
Just as Victor thought, many professors found that this group of gangs couldn't do anything while working, increasing their workload. Then it would be better to teach them the basics first, so that they could be more relaxed when taking private jobs in the future.
Of course, originally, this had nothing to do with Schiller. He was a psychology professor. That group of gangs might need physics teachers, chemistry teachers, math teachers, and maybe even language teachers, but they didn't need psychology teachers. Cat Getan people have nothing else, just open-minded.
But the bad thing is the celebrity effect.
Before, Falcone opened a small private lecture hall in his manor and invited Schiller to give lectures to his family members.
Schiller mainly taught some basic knowledge such as industrial models, but Cat Getan gangs have always followed Falcone's lead. Even the old godfather invited Schiller, so if you don't invite him to start your own school, isn't it obvious that the old godfather has no vision?
So, Schiller received invitation letters from more than a dozen big gangs in Cat Getan one afternoon.
This invitation letter didn't directly state the purpose, but just invited Schiller to visit the vocational school they had just started. But Schiller estimated that once he got there, he wouldn't be able to leave. At least he would have to serve as an honorary professor.
Schiller agrees with the gangs' active behavior of starting schools. After all, if Cat Getan University wants to enter the Ivy League, it is essential to improve the academic atmosphere of the entire Cat Getan City. In addition to doing more high-end research institutes, it is also necessary to establish a complete talent training system.
Wayne Group is already working on regular primary and middle schools, but they won't see results for a while. Now gangs spontaneously starting vocational education is actually a good way out, and it is very suitable for the current situation of Cat Getan City.
Yu Getan, where basic education is lacking, urban operation basically relies on empiricism. Gangs are family-based, passed down from generation to generation, and the older generation teaches hand-in-hand.
This model might have worked before, but it's worse now. It is foreseeable that with the introduction of new industries and the gradual upgrading of existing industries, this vocational education will become more and more prosperous in Cat Getan, lasting until the results of basic education appear.
As a professor, Schiller doesn't mind pushing it in this process, so he accepted the invitation and prepared to go and see this weekend what kind of vocational education school Cat Getan gangs can make. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
