Chapter 4085

Zhang Shouye said to the student, "What do you know? Talking nonsense here, hurry up and apologize to Master Zhao!"

The student said somewhat stubbornly, "What did I say wrong? Now it is the world of CNC machine tools."

Zhang Shouye said, "Then can a CNC machine tool hear a problem that experts can't see with one ear like Master Zhao? Can a CNC machine tool direct the installation of machine equipment for national key projects like Master Zhao? The parts Master Zhao processes by hand have higher precision than CNC machine tools, but CNC machine tools cannot do what he can do!"

The student still muttered unconvinced, "Then what's the use? It takes more than ten years to learn this technology. By the time you learn it, you still can't make big money. It's better to spend a few years learning programming, and you can make big money after going out."

Everyone was silent again. Yes, the reality of society is just like this. These students have to spend more than ten years to learn the technology of a machinist, and workers are not popular now. However, the salary of programmers is very high. If that doesn't work, going into finance and securities is also more profitable than being a worker. So why should these students pay such a high price to learn Master Zhao's technology?

Master Zhao's face twitched in pain. He also knew that what the student said was the truth. The more this was the case, the more painful he felt in his heart. This kind of pain was an irrepressible pain.

Su Xinghui stood up and said to the student, "This student, what you said is not wrong. However, that was in the past. In the past ten years, the status of workers has indeed not been high, and everyone is unwilling to be a worker. Those who go to be workers are helpless. This is a fact we have to face. In this matter, our government also has responsibility."

"However, this situation has now improved, or rather, there is hope for change. Last year, the central government issued a new policy to revitalize the manufacturing industry and improve the status and treatment of workers. Now, workers like Master Zhao are treasures of the country!"

Master Zhao said with some doubt, "Mayor Su, will the status and treatment of workers really improve?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Now the Linshan Municipal Government is responding to the spirit of the central government and trying every possible way to improve the status and treatment of workers. Otherwise, why would the municipal government increase investment in the vocational high schools and technical schools in the city? Everyone can see all of this."

Master Zhao certainly could see all of this. He was the one hired by Linshan Vocational and Technical College this year with a high salary to serve as a teacher here. And he could see that Linshan Vocational and Technical College was engaged in large-scale construction this year, building many new projects, and the school was also setting up new majors. It had indeed increased investment, and this investment was not a small amount; it was an astronomical figure.

Could it be that the status and treatment of workers were really going to improve? Master Zhao couldn't help but be extremely excited. In his life, he had experienced the period of the "worker elder brother." At that time, he was really glorious as a worker. But later, he also experienced the period when the status of workers dropped sharply. At that time, whoever said they were a worker seemed to be a kind of shame.

He couldn't figure out how the identity of a worker became a shame. Does this society not need workers? Aren't the things everyone eats and uses made by workers? But why does everyone look down on workers?

He was once confused and in great pain. Now, he finally waited for the day when the country would improve the status and treatment of workers. He had waited too long for this day.

Master Zhao's tears were about to fall again. Today, his tear threshold seemed particularly low. He hurriedly held back his tears. If he kept crying like an old woman, it would be too shameful.

Master Zhao muttered, "That's really great. Our whole family are workers!"

Su Xinghui said, "Now there are some enterprises with relatively high technical requirements. The income of those senior technicians is definitely not worse than any white-collar worker or programmer. I know that a senior machinist at Ernest Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., whose level is not as good as Master Zhao's, now has a monthly salary that can reach over 10,000 yuan."

This number made everyone exclaim. A monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan seemed unimaginable in 2009. Even in the financial industry or those programmers, very few people could reach this salary level. But is there really a worker whose salary can reach this level?

Su Xinghui said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask. Now, even in our Linshan enterprises, the salary of senior technicians is four or five thousand, and it will get higher and higher in the future. It will definitely be able to meet your requirements."

Those students looked at each other. If the salary level of workers could really reach this level, then what reason did they have not to be willing to be workers?

Master Zhao said, "It's a pity that my sons and sons-in-law are not the material for machinists. After learning for so many years, they only have the level of a third or fourth-grade worker, and then they wasted a few years. Otherwise, their salaries would be high enough."

Su Xinghui said, "Master Zhao, this doesn't matter. As long as they study their business hard and improve their technology, their salaries will get higher and higher in the future."

Master Zhao said, "Mayor Su, thank you! You have racked your brains for us workers!"

Su Xinghui said to the rebellious student, "This student, you say, if your salary can reach over 10,000 yuan in the future, are you willing to learn machining well from Master Zhao?"

The student muttered, "Who knows if it's true? Maybe you made it up to lie to us. How can a worker get such a high salary? If you can really get over 10,000 yuan a month, who wouldn't want to learn machining?"

Su Xinghui said, "How about this, let's make a bet. As long as you can learn machining well from Master Zhao—I don't require you to reach Master Zhao's level, as long as you reach half of his level and become a senior technician—I guarantee that your salary will reach over 10,000 yuan a month. Everyone present can be a witness. Do you dare to make this bet?" ===== CHAPTER 4087 =====
