Chapter 125 Entrepreneurship is difficult (second update, please subscribe)
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.

For Li Weimin, who was unwilling to be a worker, when he saw the announcement of the recruitment of teachers, he took the initiative to stand up. He did not have the fame of Tang Ming, nor was he a scholar like others.

But he can speak English!

As a native of Ningbo, after the opening of Ningbo, he took the initiative to learn English from a translator from Guangdong as his teacher, and later learned English from missionaries. English was his means of earning a living.

This is the case in Ningbo, but in Nanhua...but he regards it as an opportunity to advance!
Sure enough, just as he guessed, after learning that he could speak English, he immediately asked him to take the advanced class of English.

In the past few months, he taught the students English while compiling textbooks based on his memory. Although it was only a simple English conversation, the others... they couldn't!
With this advantage, he does have the opportunity to show his face in front of his club, such as now.

"Have you studied English?"

Zhu Xianhai speaks English.

"Yes, I used to be an interpreter for a foreign firm in Ningbo."

That is to say, he has worked as a translator... a great talent!

It doesn't matter whether he knows engineering or mechanics. The important thing is that he can train a group of students who are proficient in foreign languages. This is the most important thing.

After having a simple conversation with him in English, Zhu Xianhai asked.

"Worked as an interpreter... well, not bad."

Through the glass window, looking at the children in the classroom ranging in age from six or seven to eleven or twelve, Zhu Xianhai asked.

"I plan to send a group of people to study abroad. Those people are probably a little older. Basically, they have studied at home, at least privately. From your point of view, how long will it take for them to study?" Foreign language, in order to adapt to life in a foreign country?"

Li Weimin was a little dazed. Even though he didn't know what studying abroad was, he still vaguely guessed the meaning of his boss's words.

"Are you going to send the students to study with Westerners?"

study abroad?That's probably what it means.

"Yes, it is to study in a school in the UK or the US."

Zhu Xianhai nodded.

"Let them learn Western modern science there."

Is it realistic to send teenagers receiving traditional education to study abroad without going through primary and secondary education?

Toddlers studying in the United States are the answer!

It took eight years for Zhan Tianyou and others to graduate from Yale, and many of them could not even speak English.

eight years...

This is the shortest time to cultivate talents!
Is there a faster way?

Zhu Xianhai didn't know.

But now in Nanhua, there is not a single Chinese engineer or expert.

Among the [-] people, except for a few who don't understand science and only read the Four Books and Five Classics, half of them just received a little literacy education in the education camp - they can write hundreds of characters and perform simple addition and subtraction.What about the other half?illiteracy!
Just relying on them, can Zhu Xianhai realize his ambition?

Of course not!
These people may be able to become factory workers through training, but Nanhua needs more than just such workers. It needs engineers, mechanical experts, modern education experts, and experts and scholars from all walks of life. Only in this way can Nanhua rise the road.

Therefore, even if it is to backfire, there are some things that he has to do!

"This……"

After thinking about it, Li Weimin said.

"Back to my boss, I haven't been to England, so I really don't know how to explain it. However, if I teach this to my subordinates, they will be able to have conversations with foreigners in about half a year. Life should be no problem!"

Zhu Xianhai nodded.In this way, it is almost the same, and it will take another half a year to strengthen mathematics learning, which is almost at the elementary school level. When you go abroad, you can start from the upper grades of elementary school.

In fact, Zhu Xianhai's requirements are not high. He is satisfied if the first batch of overseas students can produce a group of talents like the young children studying in the United States.

Cultivating talents is a continuous and gradual process. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Only by starting this way can we plan for the future.

"Well, I ordered people to find a suitable place next to the school and set up a preparatory school there, but you also have to take care of it here, and see if you can train some teachers!"

After finishing speaking, looking at Li Weimin, Zhu Xianhai smiled.

"Weizhi, as long as this matter is done well, my door will always be open to you!"

Li Weimin bowed hurriedly when he heard the words.

"I will definitely live up to my master's high expectations!"

After discussing with Li Weimin about the skills of learning English for a long time, Zhu Xianhai left the school. When he left the school, he still had a little bit of relief on his face.

This seems to be a school with a grassroots team, but it accommodates more than [-] students!They are of different ages, but they are the first generation of primary school students in Nanhua. Perhaps the textbooks they use are not scientific, and even the teachers are not professional—mathematics is okay.But teachers of geography and natural history basically follow the script.

But at least it's a good start!
Education will always determine the future of a nation!

If you want to develop modern education right now... you can only turn to others for help!
Running education requires help from others, and running a factory requires help from others—like all factories in Nanhua, the arsenal, which is a key project, has twelve American engineers who assist in installing equipment and training workers to guide production. Two dozen skilled workers hired from New York and other places.It is because of them that the arsenal was able to produce a variety of weapons including the P1853 Enfield rifle in a short period of time, realizing the self-production of weapons in Nanhua.

However, it was Chinese craftsmen who produced these weapons in the end. Li Qingen was also a worker in the arsenal. Compared with most immigrants, he was undoubtedly lucky. "Sold" overseas.But at least we can live a peaceful life here.

Unlike in my hometown in Jinhua, not to mention the turmoil, I was either worried about being killed by Changmao all day long, or worried about being taken credit by officers and soldiers.

However, although the peaceful life is good, as a scholar, Li Qingen is not willing to be an ordinary craftsman. Unlike many scholars, as early as more than ten years ago, he had borrowed a friend's "Pictures of the Sea Country" And other books, have a certain understanding of the West.

In the third year of Xianfeng, when he heard that there was a Western concession in Shanghai, Li Qingen also went to the Shanghai concession, saw Western galleons and steam engines there, and even spent money to buy a few Western books. Mechanics has his own curiosity.

Half a year ago, when he entered the arsenal to learn how to operate the machine tool, he was amazed at the magic of the machine tool "cutting iron like mud", and he, who was already curious about Western machines, immediately immersed himself in these shocking machines. In addition to normal machine tool operation training, Li Qingen also learned about machines through various channels.I even took the initiative to learn English from Western engineers and technicians, and learned about the principle and structure of various cutting machine tools and steam engines through learning wall charts.

It seems that for Li Qingen, there is nothing more important than learning. During the day he works in the factory, and at night, he will use the oil lamp and the English he just learned to understand the mechanical principles in the book. , and sometimes he will draw some patterns.

At night, once again, as usual, Li Liushi woke up from the dream, opened his eyes and saw her husband lying in front of the table, drawing something with a pencil by the oil lamp.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? You have to go to work tomorrow!"

Mrs. Li and Liu worked in the garment factory. After a busy day, she was extremely tired.

"Just sleep, just sleep..."

Li Qingen stretched, and then said.

"If this is done, not only will we be able to live in a big house, maybe I'll be a technician earning [-] yuan a month!"

The words of the man made the woman laugh.

"You just have to dream about your dreams, go to sleep quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow."

The woman's laughter made Li Qingen smile,
"What does a woman know? You will know later."
