Chapter 651: Today I Will Make It Impossible for You to Reach High
Chapter 651 Today I will make it impossible for you to reach high
The name of the French master's degree is indeed very bluffing, at least the leaders who came to inspect it were bluffed.
In China at that time, a master's degree was still very valuable.
But these people don’t know that in many Western developed countries, there are as many masters as dogs.
Because many countries in Europe have a one-year master's degree system. Especially in countries with small languages such as Northern Europe, one-year master's degrees are very popular.
It is said to be a one-year program, but in fact the study time is much less than one year. For example, I enrolled in September and graduated in June. At the same time, I studied for a master's degree in China and did not even write a thesis proposal report, but I already have a master's diploma. Gone to find a job.
One year is not enough time to do any research. Therefore, the gold content of this kind of master's degree is not high, and the level may not be as good as that of 985 undergraduate graduates.
Moreover, the threshold for this one-year master's degree is low, and it is easy for local Europeans to apply. For example, in some wealthy countries with small populations and abundant resources, you can basically apply to study.
For example, in Nordic countries, the population is relatively small. It would be good if students in a class can get together for a game of LOL. However, if someone wants to apply for a master's degree, the school will basically not refuse.
Therefore, in many Nordic countries, double master's degrees or even triple master's degrees are also very common. Don't think they are awesome when you encounter such dual master's degree students. After all, it takes enough time to study for one master's degree in China, which is enough for three people.
France also has one-year master's degrees, and not just comprehensive public universities, many higher professional colleges also have one-year master's programs.
The so-called higher professional colleges are equivalent to domestic higher vocational technical schools. Studying for a master's degree in a higher vocational technical school is something that is unimaginable in China.
However, France is an old industrial country after all, and it still has a good foundation. Many higher professional colleges have a history of hundreds of years. Although they are only higher vocational colleges, the teaching level is still very good.
In higher professional colleges, there are also a variety of one-year master's courses, which are basically practical courses, and the purpose of learning is only to facilitate employment.
Therefore, masters trained under this education system will not have very high academic standards and are not good at doing scientific research or writing papers. However, in the job market, they will become highly practical blue-collar engineers.
This education system is very suitable for traditional industrial fields with mature technologies.
In traditional industrial fields that have existed for decades or hundreds of years, the relevant production technologies have already matured. Even if there is further research and development, there will not be much improvement for the entire industry, so scientific research talents are of little use. Large, but production-oriented talents will be more practical.
It's different in emerging fields, such as information technology industry, new energy industry, new materials industry, robotics industry, etc. Technology still has a lot to improve. R&D is more important than production. A new R&D may It will bring revolutionary changes to the entire industry.
Therefore, in later generations, it will always be those traditional manufacturing companies that complain about the lack of workers every day and complain that young people would rather deliver food than work in engineering. And those innovative companies have never complained about shortage of workers.
For innovative companies, they rely on R&D to increase productivity, rather than increasing productivity through more skilled workers.
The French engineers invited by Li Weidong are all practical blue-collar engineers. Their practical skill attribute points are full, but when it comes to doing scientific research and writing papers, they are really not as good as Han Qing, an associate professor at the University of Mining and Technology.
However, Han Qing obviously did not know this, and neither did the leaders who came to inspect. Based on the principle of "foreign monks can chant sutras," they felt that French masters were more authoritative.
Whenever Han Qing asked him what kind of research the French master was engaged in and what papers he had published, he would get an incomprehensible answer and instantly regain his sense of superiority.
Just listen to Li Weidong's introduction: "Although the recovery rate of our Dongshan Mining is not high at present, we have invited a group of excellent French coal mine engineers to provide us with technical support.
Next, we will target EU standards, gradually improve technology, redesign and plan the mine, and improve production efficiency. I believe we can achieve a recovery rate of 80%! "
Director Du nodded again: "Very good. Our country has always encouraged the introduction of talents and advanced technologies from developed countries to improve our own technical level. It is worthwhile for Dongshan Mining to achieve leapfrog development in technology by introducing French engineers." Praising and learning.”
When Li Weidong said that the recovery rate was 80%, everyone present scoffed. Some even thought that Li Weidong deliberately exaggerated the data in front of the leaders to please his superiors.
Even large state-owned coal enterprises cannot achieve an 80% recovery rate. Dongshan Mining, a private enterprise with poor foundation and technology, can achieve an 80% recovery rate?
So when Han Qing jumped out, many people were gloating and waiting to see Li Weidong's joke.
However, when the French engineering team appeared in front of everyone, the 80% recovery rate instantly became an achievable goal.
A few minutes ago, Li Weidong kept saying that he would produce according to European technical standards. Everyone thought that Li Weidong was bragging.
Now when they saw this group of French engineers, everyone suddenly realized that production in accordance with European technical standards is a matter of course!
A recovery rate of 80% is definitely a standard that can be achieved in France. Even if China cannot provide as good equipment as France, with the technical support of French engineers, reaching a recovery rate of 75% should not be a problem.
The recovery rate of 75% is already at the level of large state-owned coal production enterprises.
Director Du also made a positive statement on Dongshan Mining's introduction of French engineers. It will be even less likely that anyone will make a fuss about the recovery rate in the future.
Li Weidong went on to say, “In addition to adopting EU standards in terms of production technology, we also strictly require ourselves in terms of production safety and take EU standards as our goal.”
After all, Director Du is from the National Production Safety Commission. When he heard the words "production safety", he immediately became interested.
Li Weidong continued: "After the French engineers we hired came, they helped us make a lot of improvements based on the EU's coal mine safety standards. Not only did they increase investment in equipment and technology, they also strengthened the personnel's operating procedures. training.
For example, in the design of coal mines, some optimization and transformation have been carried out to strengthen the ventilation in the mines, and a more scientific and reasonable design of the ventilation system in the mines has been carried out.
In addition, French engineers also conducted a comprehensive survey of the nearby geological structures, found out the distribution of surrounding kiln water, formulated special flood prevention and control measures, and made beneficial improvements to the water pumping facilities in the mine. "
The two major enemies of coal mine safety are gas and groundwater.
Collapse accidents are extremely rare in regular coal mines. Coal mine engineers will leave support pillars at the beginning of the design to prevent the coal mine from collapsing due to structural problems. Unless there is a sudden geological disaster such as an earthquake, regular coal mines will There will be no structural risk accidents.
However, the gas and groundwater existing in underground coal seams are uncontrollable factors. No one can guarantee that gas or groundwater will be dug during the coal mining process. Gas explosions and water penetration often cause serious safety accidents. .
Therefore, coal mine safety work mainly focuses on gas and groundwater. The ventilation system and drainage system of the coal mine have become an important part of the work.
In terms of coal mine safety, the EU's standards are definitely higher, and the EU's requirements for ventilation and drainage systems are also more stringent. Therefore, capital investment and technical research in this area are also at the forefront of the world.
Domestic coal mining technology already lags behind that of the European Union. Coupled with the low coal prices in the past few years, coal mines have no profit, and they cannot invest more funds in research and development. Therefore, in terms of safety standards and technology, are lagging behind the EU.
In this regard, large state-owned coal production enterprises are better, at least they will implement national standards. Small coal mines are purely for making quick money and basically ignore the safety of coal mines.
Coal mines are the places where safety accidents occur most frequently in China. The National Work Safety Commission naturally attaches great importance to coal mine safety. When Li Weidong talked about implementing safety production in accordance with EU standards, it hit Director Du's heart.
Seeing Director Du's interest, Li Weidong simply called Herbert over to introduce their work.
As a practical coal mine engineer, Hurlburt has more than 20 years of work experience in this area, so he can explain it easily.
Moreover, France's coal mine technology and safety standards are already higher than those in China. Herbert brought the French stuff and successfully deceived Director Du and other leaders.
In Director Du's view, the higher the safety production standards, the higher.
Many domestic coal mines are unwilling to follow national standards even if they are forced to use fines and other means to supervise them. Now that we encounter a company that is willing to take the initiative to follow higher standards, we should quickly promote it as a model.
Director Du did not hesitate to praise Dongshan Mining.
Of course, Director Du also knows that verbal praise alone is not enough, and setting an example cannot rely solely on words.
There is an allusion called "a thousand gold buys horse bones" instead of "a thousand gold praises the horse bones", because you can't praise a thousand-mile horse with your mouth. It is effective to spend "a thousand gold" to buy vegetables with real money.
Then Director Du said: "Although the company is responsible for safety production in coal mines, relevant national and local departments also have the responsibility of inspection and supervision.
In order to enable enterprises to increase investment in production safety, a financial budget has also been compiled as a special transformation fund for enterprise safety production to encourage enterprises to pay attention to safety production work.
Dongshan Mining's work on production safety is obvious to all. It is the only company in China that has introduced technology from Western developed countries and proactively adopted higher EU standards.
This kind of work attitude and emphasis on production safety must be encouraged, and it is worthy of our carrying forward. It also needs support from our competent authorities.
The way I see it, Dongshan Mining can apply for next year’s production safety transformation fund. It will definitely cost a lot to introduce technology from Western developed countries. You can’t just bear this money, the state should also subsidize part of it! "
"The country will pay you back!" Zhao Jinshan suddenly beamed with joy. The country is willing to provide subsidies. This is a real benefit!
…
The yard of the Coal Industry Association is almost full of vehicles. A meeting is about to be held here.
Sun Chongxin sat in one of the cars, holding the latest issue of China Coal Newspaper, with a depressed expression on his face.
The newspaper used two pages to introduce Director Du's inspection of the work in the local area.
And there were several lines in which Director Du highly praised Dongshan Mining, and even the picture used was the one of the inspection of Dongshan Mining.
"Employ French engineers and introduce advanced coal production technology from developed Western countries?" Sun Chongxin saw this and couldn't help but take a closer look at the picture.
There was a brown-haired bearded engineer in the picture, who was obviously a foreigner.
"There really is a foreign engineer! I didn't expect Zhao Jinshan to invite engineers from foreign countries. His trick of repairing the plank road in the open and crossing Chencang in secret is really good! But the salary of foreign engineers must be high, Zhao Jinshan is really willing to spend money!"
Sun Chongxin thought again, with the current increase in coal prices, large coal production enterprises can really afford to hire foreign engineers.
It's just that other large coal production enterprises have their own talent training system and talent sources, and even if they can afford it, they don't need to go abroad to hire people.
"I was saved by Dongshan Mining! If I had known this earlier, I should have agreed to them and at least get 10% of the shares, instead of getting nothing now." Thinking of this, Sun Chongxin sighed.
At this time, the assistant sitting in the front row reminded him, "Chairman, it's time to go to the conference room. I just went to see that most of the CEOs of other companies have already arrived."
Sun Chongxin nodded, got out of the car, walked into the office building, went straight to the conference room, found the seat with his nameplate, and sat down.
"Mr. Sun, it's been a while!" The person next to him greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Sun, what are you busy with recently?" Another person also said.
"It's all nonsense!" Sun Chongxin continued; "Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, it's rare for us to get together today. I'll treat you tonight and let's have a good drink!"
"Oh, what a coincidence. I have to fly to the south tonight and can't go today. Let's make an appointment next time. I'll treat you then!"
"I have to meet a client after the meeting. Mr. Sun, we can only drink next time." Another person also spoke up.
They are all CEOs of large companies. Their schedules have been arranged long ago. How can they have time to have a dinner party just by saying they want to have a dinner party?
Sun Chongxin also knew this. The so-called host was just a courtesy. He didn't intend to really treat them. And he himself had a subsequent schedule, so it was impossible for him to organize another drinking party.
This was just a polite remark on the scene. No one would take it seriously after agreeing to each other.
A few people started chatting, and then they talked about the safety production transformation fund.
General Manager Liu said, "I heard that the safety production transformation fund for next year has been decided."
"That's a huge subsidy! It's already been decided. Who is the lucky one?" General Manager Wang asked immediately.
"It is said that it is Dongshan Mining!" General Manager Liu replied.
Hearing the words "Dongshan Mining", Sun Chongxin's brows tightened.
"General Manager Liu, you said that Dongshan Mining has already received the safety production transformation fund for next year? Is this true or false? Isn't Dongshan Mining a private enterprise? How can they get this kind of state subsidy?" Sun Chongxin asked immediately.
"Isn't it because Dongshan Mining performed better when Director Du of the Safety Committee went to inspect! I heard that they invited a bunch of French engineers, and they kept saying the EU safety standards, which won the favor of the leaders, so they got the safety production transformation fund for next year." General Manager Liu answered.
"EU standards? They are definitely higher than our country's standards. When leaders see that a company is willing to take the initiative to improve safety standards, they must set an example!"
Boss Wang paused and continued, "What puzzles me is that there are so many state-owned coal production companies, why did Director Du choose Dongshan Mining to inspect?"
"It's related!" Boss Wang replied, "I heard that Dongshan Mining was not included in the original inspection plan. Later, someone from the oil system interceded for Dongshan Mining, saying that they are the largest private coal production company in the country and should be visited, so Director Du went to inspect Dongshan Industry."
"So that's it! Why would the oil system intercede for Dongshan Mining?" Boss Liu said, looking at Sun Chonghai, and then asked, "Boss Sun, are you familiar with Huiyuan Industry and the oil system? Do you have any inside information about this?"
"No, I haven't heard of this!" Sun Chongxin quickly denied it. He didn't dare to say that it was his own fault.
Mr. Liu then complained, "If Director Du had not gone to Dongshan Industrial for inspection, we would not have seen any French engineers. We could have had hope for the safety production fund next year, but now it's gone!"
This sentence made Sun Chongxin look even more embarrassed. He had originally intended to harm Dongshan Mining, and for this purpose he bribed Han Qing, an associate professor at the university, to fan the flames on the spot.
But he did not expect that his dirty tricks would eventually help Dongshan Mining. Director Du not only did not blame him, but gave Dongshan Mining a safety production subsidy.
He wanted to play a dirty trick secretly and sneakily kick a kick to cut off his offspring, but not only did he not kick it, he also gave the opponent a penalty kick. He felt so bad!
However, Mr. Liu continued: "I heard that the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau has also stated that it encourages other coal production companies to learn from Dongshan Mining and demand themselves with higher safety standards."
"What? That means we also have to hire foreign engineers and follow EU standards?" Mr. Wang suddenly looked unhappy.
"That's not necessary. The superiors are just encouraging! But I think since the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau has said it, we coal production companies can't just do nothing, right? We have to send an expert team to Dongshan Mining to find those French If the engineer learns, then we can do the work," Mr. Liu said.
Mr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "If you just go to study, it doesn't matter. Anyway, French engineers are better than us in technology, and we should learn more from other developed countries. Hey, Chairman Sun, are you hot? ? "Why is your face so red?"
At this time, Sun Chongxin's face was indeed red!
Not long ago, Huiyuan Industrial was aloof, waiting for Dongshan Mining to come to seek technical support.
Now Huiyuan Industrial is asked to go to Dongshan Mining to learn technology? Where will you put your face then? How embarrassing!
The person who used to be indifferent to you is now out of reach!
