Chapter 425: Teach a Man to Fish
"When does it begin?"

Wang Deming did not ask why it was not approved before, but was busy approving it a few months later?

All he had to do was provide enough money.

Over the years, he has come to understand one thing: an outstanding politician must always have consistent political ideas.

If a person changes his mind every day, he is not a politician but a bureaucrat.

Just stick to your philosophy and let future generations decide what the consequences will be.
The real boss rubbed his brows and said, "The documents will be available in the next two days."

"Okay, I will contact the Hong Kong businessmen right away. As long as the municipal government agrees, the project investment funds will be transferred from the Bank of China immediately." Wang Deming would definitely not come forward himself, but let the money go through Mr. Huo or Mr. Bao.

"Okay!" The real boss breathed a sigh of relief, "Deming, you can have a meeting with us later."

"There are still some details that need to be communicated about the projects you want to invest in, after all, there are too many departments involved."

"Ah."

Soon, leaders of the municipal government and the State Council gathered together for a meeting to discuss project investment in Hong Kong and arrangements for the work of the educated youth.

To be honest, it would take more than the government to place tens of millions of educated youth in Beijing at once, and it would be impossible for the project invested by Wang Deming alone to do so.

The core point is still Wang Deming’s previous proposal to provide training to the educated youth in technical schools.

This move was actually influenced by the previous life.

In the past, in 98, 08 and 24, the country expanded university enrollment three times, which can be said to have achieved the best of two worlds, as it not only resolved the unemployment problem but also promoted the regional economy at the same time.

On the one hand, the working population of appropriate age can be arranged to go to university to receive more education and alleviate employment pressure. Even if the university is very ordinary, the quality of the potential future labor force will be slightly higher.

Another thing is the booming education industry, which not only collects tuition fees but also drives regional economic development through supporting facilities surrounding the university, such as hotels, restaurants, and game halls.

How similar is the problem you are facing now?
Even if there aren't so many universities, aren't there still so many technical secondary schools?

If I just study for three more years, won't that give the country three more years to relax?

Three years later, maybe these unemployed educated youth will find a way out for themselves?
As for the lack of school buildings and teachers? Isn't it Wang Deming who paid for it?
Moreover, the policy is also very high-end. It is to make up for the fact that the educated youth received less education when they went to the countryside.

What does the country lack now? Especially the service industry lacks talent?

Young people are talents, and are especially suitable for employment after training.

These days, you have to wait in line for more than two hours at a four-star barber shop, just to get your hair permed. This shows how scarce Tony teachers are.

This is a hairdressing business, and there are also accommodation and catering services. Now foreign tourists who come to Beijing for tourism have to go to Nanjing. Isn’t it because there are not enough hotels in Beijing?
This is something Wang Deming can intervene in, just pay for it.
How many unemployed people can be absorbed in the meantime? Don't we have to learn how to be a chef, guest room keeper, and pastry chef?
Since the public-private partnership in Beijing in 56, there were more than 2 small service agencies in Beijing, but now there are only a few hundred left.

There are many more. In a word, there is great potential in the service industry.

But the capital is not like Shekou. It is a special zone opened by the State Council.

Beijing is the head of a country, and its policies can affect the whole body. It is best to wait until other places have implemented mature policies before adopting them. Don’t you see that Beijing and Shanghai only started to take big steps after the 90s?
"Comrade Deming, now in Beijing, whether it's a barber or a chef, apprenticeship takes three years. What if these educated youth don't want to enroll?"

"Also, according to your plan, the newly established Beijing City, whether it is a guesthouse, oh, a hotel, or a restaurant, will be jointly operated with Xiangjiang, and will be affiliated with the original unit. It is considered a collective enterprise. Is this also a problem?"

"The most important thing is, are these units you mentioned under the jurisdiction of the Light Industry Bureau or the Industry and Commerce Bureau?"

"The most critical thing is the supply and marketing cooperative system."

Wang Deming understood that some leaders were most concerned about which department would be in charge of these emerging industries.

The Light Industry Bureau is easy to understand, as is generally the case with Heavy Industry; but the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was assigned to the Commercial Bureau in special times and has not yet been separated out. This is the key issue.

Therefore, many leaders were considering how to put this piece of cake in their own bowls and divide the spheres of influence in advance. This was the real reason why Wang Deming’s proposal was not passed at the beginning.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Wang Deming saw a lot in his previous life.

He smiled slightly: "The higher-ups have proposed to focus on economic development, and all the leaders have visited overseas. They should know that the technical training and employment directions I suggest are all in the tertiary service industry."

Since 77 and 78, before the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee proposed to put economic development at the center, people from all levels went abroad for large-scale inspections.

The purpose is to broaden one's horizons. It is said that the number of such activities is as high as more than 200 times or more than 2 times, with dozens or hundreds of people attending each session.

So the leaders fully understand what Wang Deming meant by the tertiary industry.

However, the leaders’ idea is to let the streets organize directly. It would be best if the educated youth were spontaneous, and then gradually introduce relevant policies.

Cross the river by feeling the stones
"We can set up a temporary agency first. If possible, it would be appropriate to gradually change it into a real department to be responsible for the management of related service industries."

"In addition, the problem of the supply and marketing cooperatives is also easy to solve. The supply and marketing cooperatives are only responsible for providing goods and settling accounts in a timely manner."

After the leaders politely asked Wang Deming to leave, they continued discussing the issue for half the night.

The answer was finally given, and it was first piloted in Dongcheng District.

Wang Deming waved his hand and 1000 million RMB was directly transferred into his account.

Immediately afterwards, the Labor Bureau and the Education Bureau jointly issued an announcement that in order to solve the employment problems of the educated youth, the municipal government was going to start offering multiple service subjects such as room service, catering service, and hairdressing service for study.

The Beijing Municipal Government took the initiative to take over all night schools and factory-run technical schools in Beijing, and the first step was to recruit teachers.

Suddenly, the morale of the educated youth in Dongcheng District was lifted.

Although the teacher was rated as the ninth-ranked employee for a period of time, at least he was a formal employee.

Suddenly, many people signed up.
