Chapter 4013

Weng Jingyao said, "Currently, the only thing Linshan can take out is Linshan University. Linshan University's strength is still very weak, and it might not be able to rank in the top 100 in the country, and the top 200 is also enough. However, Linshan University should also have that spirit to build a first-class university in the country and possess outstanding scientific research capabilities."

"Currently, Linshan University's strength is very weak, but Linshan University also has its advantages, that is, Linshan University has an honorary president like Professor Yang Yuanshen, and Professor Yang is a nationally famous master-level figure, which gives Linshan University a certain degree of popularity. Moreover, Linshan City has a large number of high-tech enterprises, and there are also many outstanding scientists in these enterprises. Linshan University can use this point."

Su Xinghui asked, "How to use this point?"

Weng Jingyao said, "Linshan University can cooperate with these enterprises, hire scientists in these enterprises as their visiting professors, use spare time to carry out teaching and scientific research work, and the results of the research can be transferred to these enterprises for a fee. This should be a win-win cooperation."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Hmm, your idea is quite good."

Weng Jingyao said, "Of course, relying on these visiting professors is far from enough. I think the government should also strongly support the construction of Linshan University, increase investment, and let them have the conditions to attract more high-end talents to join. This is the long-term plan. Over time, Linshan University still has hope of becoming a first-class university in the country."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Old Weng, your ambition is still not small. But what you said is still quite good. China's scientific research cause cannot rely on those few top universities, but should form a situation of letting a hundred flowers bloom. Therefore, the state should increase scientific research investment in ordinary universities. In this way, Old Weng, you find Xie Wenkuang and let them Linshan University draft a plan and submit it to the municipal government."

Xie Wenkuang was the president of Linshan University. At that time, he successfully upgraded the school, which was then Linshan College, to Linshan University, which was considered a great contribution, and he was also a relatively capable president. Su Xinghui's impression of him was still quite good.

Weng Jingyao nodded, "Okay, I will let Old Xie come over later, and I will talk to him."

Su Xinghui said, "There is one more thing. Linshan City doesn't just have Linshan University, but also some vocational high schools, technical schools, and secondary specialized schools, etc. We must also pay more attention and increase investment. We want to develop high-end manufacturing, so we need these schools to cultivate more technical workers. Therefore, these schools cannot be ignored."

Weng Jingyao said, "Mayor, you are still far-sighted and understand the policy more thoroughly. You are very right. We should indeed pay more attention to these schools."

Although Linshan City only had one undergraduate university, Linshan University, there were quite a few vocational high schools, technical schools, and junior colleges. These schools were not very valued in the past, and they were just a way out for students who didn't study well. Their teaching staff was very limited, and the school spirit was not good. How much knowledge the students there could truly learn was very questionable.

However, now Su Xinghui intended to change this situation, and it was a relatively big change.

In fact, the cultivation of children should not only have one way of going to university because not every child likes to study or loves to study. Children have many types. For example, there are those who don't like to read but love manual work and have super strong hands-on ability. Can you say he is not a talent?

There are also those who have strong athletic ability but don't study well. Can you say he is not a talent?

Like these people, if you force them to study, the effect is often not good, but parents still want to force them to study and are unwilling to let them learn other things. This is the problem with the values of the whole society, looking down on manual laborers, and even athletes are regarded as having developed limbs but simple minds.

In fact, in foreign countries, the social status of many blue-collar workers is not low, and their income is not low. Their children don't have only one way to go to university. After receiving basic education, they can go to learn a skill, become a blue-collar worker, and finally become a senior technician, which also has a high social status.

This is also one of the reasons why foreign high-end manufacturing is very developed. They have the best technical workers. In this regard, they are much stronger than China.

Now to change this situation, first of all, we must increase propaganda intensity for manual laborers and scientific and technical personnel in propaganda work, let the whole society respect them more. Secondly, we must strengthen the teaching staff and management of those vocational high schools, technical schools, and junior colleges, let the students inside truly learn useful knowledge and technology, instead of becoming little rascals in people's hearts.

Su Xinghui chatted with Weng Jingyao for a while, focusing on strengthening the strength of the Science and Technology Commission, increasing the importance of the Science and Technology Commission, and some topics of transforming science and technology into productive forces.

After chatting with Weng Jingyao for about an hour, Su Xinghui let Weng Jingyao leave. Weng Jingyao would complete those works according to Su Xinghui's instructions.

Linshan City organized a propaganda and learning activity on the spirit of the central government. All cadres in Linshan City studied the ten policies in the package of economic stimulus plans released by the central government, and also required to write insights, which was also something that needed to be done after the central government released important document spirit every time.

Ordinary cadres and employees might just treat this as a formality, but cadres who truly wanted to make a difference in their official career would carefully understand the spirit of the central government.

In a standing committee meeting specially held by the municipal party committee for this matter, the resolution to increase propaganda intensity for manual laborers and scientific research personnel was passed. This was proposed by Su Xinghui, and it was indeed a very deep understanding of the spirit of the central government. Therefore, everyone passed this resolution unanimously.

The Linshan City Propaganda Department would shoot a series of special films on ordinary manual laborers in Linshan City, including enterprise workers, as well as scientific research personnel in research institutes, universities, and enterprises, and then broadcast them on Linshan City TV station to promote them.

Such actions were rare in the past, especially in the last twenty years. Even the status of the most glorious model workers in the past seemed to have decreased. In the eyes of ordinary people, being a model worker was not as good as being a rich man.

Many facts in society confirmed this point. Before, many county model workers, municipal model workers, and even provincial model workers and national model workers had many laid off in the tide of reform and opening up. No matter how great their contributions were before, they were all in vain. This was a very chilling thing.

Now, the state should use practical actions to express respect for ordinary laborers because they have made huge contributions to this country and have also made huge sacrifices. They deserve higher income and more respect. ===== CHAPTER 4015 =====
