Chapter 715 Campus Recruitment
"Mom, if you're okay, I'll arrange for you to live in Hong Kong for a few days. Yan Zi and the kids miss you over there too."
Hearing this , Chen Yuqin's eyes suddenly lit up, then thought for a moment and shook her head and sighed: "In theory, it's good to go and see, and I'll feel at ease being with Yan Zi and the child. But you know the situation with the old man, he is now even busier than when he was in Yanjing. If I'm not with him, there will be no one at home who cares about me."
"Besides, it's not appropriate for me to go to Hong Kong with my status. It would be bad if it got out. As family members, we should be aware of the impact on your father's current job."
Song Yuanchao felt a little regretful. Chen Yuqin had held a sinecure in Yanjing before. Later, after following Lin Daoyuan to Nanjing, she refused the job in the Women's Federation that the organization had originally planned to arrange for her because of Lin Daoyuan. Now she has officially retired completely.
Chen Yuqin did this with Lin Daoyuan in mind. As Lin Daoyuan's wife, she has to take these things into consideration sometimes. If she works in the Women's Federation, there will inevitably be people coming and going, and human relationships are the most difficult to deal with. Now Lin Daoyuan is in a high position of power in the local area. Chen Yuqin is a veteran cadre, so she certainly understands that as a family member, she should avoid those problems.
But in this way, Chen Yuqin became a retired woman at home. She seemed to have nothing to do, but in fact she was still a little bored.
When Lin Yan and the children were in Shanghai, Chen Yuqin could still find time to go there and stay for a few days to have fun with her daughter and grandson. But now that they have gone to Hong Kong, it is not so convenient. Besides, going to Hong Kong is equivalent to going abroad. As a family member of Lin Daoyuan, if they often go to Hong Kong, what would it look like if this got out?
After comforting Chen Yuqin a few words, Chen Yuqin did not have too many complaints. She just smiled and said that this was what it was like to be a leader family member. She had been used to it for so many years. If it were not for Lin Daoyuan, she would have had the opportunity to make progress and take on heavier responsibilities. However, for the sake of her family and husband, she chose to give up. Although she feels a little regretful when she thinks about it now, it is also worth it.
Hearing this, Song Yuanchao gave his mother-in-law a thumbs up and praised her for her high awareness. He also said a few flattering words, and the old lady laughed happily.
Just as we were talking excitedly, Lin Daoyuan came back.
"Why are you here so early today?" Seeing her husband coming back, Chen Yuqin stood up and greeted him, helping him take off his Mao suit.
"I went down there today, and when I saw nothing to do, I came back directly." Lin Daoyuan said, and when he saw Song Yuanchao standing up to greet him, he smiled and said, "Why are you here? When did you come?"
"I came here after work."
"Have you eaten yet?" Lin Daoyuan asked subconsciously. As soon as he said this, he laughed and said, "I am confused too. You must be here to eat for free at this time. Old lady, is the meal ready? Let's eat first!"
"Okay, okay, I just told Yuan Chao that if you don't come back we will eat first. You just came into the house after I finished speaking." Chen Yuqin replied with a smile, and then asked them to sit down first and start eating soon.
The meals at Lin Daoyuan's house are still so simple, two vegetables, a tofu soup, and the only meat dish is a fish.
After finishing the meal quickly, Lin Daoyuan stood up and called Song Yuanchao, asking him to go to the study with him. Song Yuanchao, who had originally planned to help Chen Yuqin clean up, apologized to his mother-in-law. Chen Yuqin smiled and motioned for him to go with the old man, as she would be able to stay here.
After entering the study, Lin Daoyuan sat down on the sofa, took the cigarette handed to him by Song Yuanchao, lit it, and leaned back: "What's the matter with you today?"
"Look at what you said, I'm fine, but can't I come to see you and mom?"
"Don't I know you well, kid? Why would you come here for no reason? Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. I have some documents to look at later. I don't have time to chat with you here." Lin Daoyuan waved his hand with some disgust and said bluntly.
Song Yuanchao chuckled a few times in embarrassment, then said, "Dad, can you say hello to the education department?"
"Education department? What greeting?" Lin Daoyuan was stunned and looked at Song Yuanchao in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
"Isn't graduation season coming soon? Our Sit Company is currently expanding production in all factories, and we are short of staff. You also understand the nature of Sit's enterprise. In everyone's eyes, joint ventures are far less reliable than state-owned enterprises, and even collective enterprises are better than us. Now everyone's concept is to enter government agencies first, state-owned enterprises second, and collective enterprises third. Only those who can't go to these units will consider our joint ventures."
"After returning from Hong Kong, I held several meetings in the company. Currently, there is a huge gap in staff and we urgently need some fresh blood. So, apart from social recruitment, I thought of this year's graduates. I won't consider universities, and they won't look down on my small temple, but I might be able to get high school graduates. What do you think of my idea?"
Lin Daoyuan looked at Song Yuanchao, thought for a moment and nodded, "Your idea is okay, but can you guarantee that high school students are willing to come to your company?"
"Just give it a try. It's okay to give it a try. What if someone is willing to come?" Song Yuanchao said, "There are only a few options for high school graduates. Apart from taking the college entrance exam, they can take the technical secondary school entrance exam or wait for a job assignment."
"Let's not talk about the college entrance exam for now. If you can get into college, you won't be interested in our company. But then again, how many people can actually get into college? Nowadays, going to college is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. I checked the college admission rate last year, and it was only 29.3%, which is less than one-third."
"Out of 100 candidates, less than 30 can go to university. Of the 1.64 million candidates nationwide, about 1.16 million failed the exam. This number is quite shocking. Even if many of them repeat the exam, the proportion will not be high."
"For those who fail to get into college after high school, taking a technical secondary school entrance exam is also a way out, but you know that after you pass the technical secondary school entrance exam, you still have to continue studying for at least two years before you can work. In addition, the difficulty of the technical secondary school entrance exam is no less than that of the college entrance exam, so not many people can actually pass it."
"When you calculate it this way, a large proportion of people seek their own way out and wait for the state to assign them jobs. The latter is also a pressure for local relevant departments. There are still some educated youth like me and Yan Zi who have not been assigned jobs. Old problems have not been solved, and new problems have emerged. It's difficult for them too."
"Dad, what I said is all realistic, not exaggerated. So now that the company is short of people and social recruitment is not satisfactory, I think that through high schools and colleges, the education department may take the lead in early campus recruitment, which may be a way out. This will not only solve the current problems of our company, but also reduce the pressure on local departments. It is also a way out for some high school students who have no confidence in getting into college and have no channels to assign good jobs. What do you think?"
Lin Daoyuan smoked a cigarette without answering. What Song Yuanchao said was right. As a leader, he also knew something about the situation in this regard.
Employment for young people is a big problem. A few years ago, educated youth returned to the cities, and a large number of them poured into the cities, causing employment difficulties.
Although local departments have been working hard to solve this problem, and some solutions have been proposed by the families of the educated youth, including the parents retiring early and the children taking over the work.
But this approach only solves part of the problem. There are still a large number of educated youth wandering around without jobs. These people have nothing to do and no income, which has led to a series of social problems such as deteriorating public security, leading to last year's typhoon phenomenon.
Now the employment problem of educated youth has been basically solved. On the one hand, it is due to the passage of time and the progress of local resettlement work. On the other hand, it is also due to the vigorous development of the individual economy after the reform and opening up.
But no one dares to say that the situation has been completely solved, we can only say that the situation has improved a lot. However, as time goes by, the employment problem of fresh graduates has emerged again. As Song Yuanchao just said, the admission rate of the 1.64 million college entrance examination candidates last year was less than 30%. So the remaining 70% of the failed candidates, except for some who repeated the exam or were admitted to technical secondary schools, the rest of the young people are still facing the dilemma of employment difficulties.
Lin Daoyuan knew the situation of Si Te Company. In recent years, Si Te Company has developed rapidly, and the achievements really made Lin Daoyuan pleased.
He had gone against all odds to allow the Nandu branch to form a joint venture, but he didn't expect that Song Yuanchao would give him a surprise now.
These days, Si Te is all the rage across the country. Due to the hot sales of Si Te products across the country, the reputation of the city of Jinling and Jiangsu Province has also been known to outsiders. As a local cadre, Lin Daoyuan is very happy and is happy to see such results.
The rapid development of Si Te led to an urgent shortage of personnel. Song Yuanchao also spent a lot of energy in this regard and thought of many solutions.
One of them is to set up technical secondary schools, which Lin Daoyuan knows very well. In addition, Si Te has also solved many employment problems for young people in society. But now, Si Te has encountered difficulties in this regard due to the nature of the enterprise. As Song Yuanchao's father-in-law, he knows his son-in-law very well. If Song Yuanchao had no other options, he would not have come to him for help. Moreover, this matter is not a bad thing for Si Te and the society in general.
But considering the problem from Lin Daoyuan's perspective is not that simple. The key is that there has never been such a way before.
Work has always been allocated, even after the reform and opening up. Recruitment and application, this situation rarely occurs, at best some government departments or large state-owned enterprises will send people to investigate the students in colleges and universities, and then talk to the other party in the name of the organization, seek the other party's opinion and then implement the transfer procedures.
Social recruitment has only appeared in the past two years, and the effect is not very good. Song Yuanchao said that people's ideas and concepts have not changed, and it is absolutely true that a stable job is everyone's first choice. Many people are repulsed by the contract employment of joint ventures such as SITE, and feel that companies that do not provide stable jobs are unreliable.
