Chapter 77 Education Industry
Zhang Sirui looked at the design sketches of the three defense facilities with a hesitant expression, "Captain, I have two questions."
"First of all, these three facilities are all defensive facilities. Although they seem to be well concealed and powerful, are these defensive facilities relatively simple to use?"
"We can only passively wait for other chaebols to attack us. When we want to take the initiative to attack, these defense facilities will hardly be of any use."
"This situation seems to be very unfavorable for taking the initiative on the battlefield."
"In addition, the structures of these three facilities seem a bit complicated. I don't know whether they can be mass-produced smoothly with our current foundry production capacity. If they cannot be mass-produced, the cost is likely to reach a level that we find difficult to accept, which is a bit too wasteful."
Chen She smiled slightly. These questions from Zhang Sirui were obviously within his expectations.
There is no way, we can only say that the thinking of these people in the resistance is too simple. Chen She has fooled them for so long that he has already figured out their inner thoughts clearly.
Chen She explained: "There is a certain difference between your understanding of battlefield initiative and mine."
"What is initiative? It is not just about attacking. I think whether we are proactive or not depends on whether we can make more choices under the current battlefield situation and try our best to ensure success after making the choices."
"Indeed, if we have some large-scale weapons and equipment, we can take the initiative to attack the big chaebols, but the question is who can we defeat now?"
"We can easily destroy some small organizations with weaker peripheral settlements without using large equipment, relying only on our current combat power. As for large groups like the Icefield Defense Group, even if we bring large equipment to fight, it will still be useless."
"In this case, when active offense is no longer a reasonable option, we should change our thinking. These defensive facilities can meet different needs at the same time."
"Only when we are sure that there are no worries about defense can we confidently take offensive actions. Because even if the attack is frustrated, we know that we will be safe after retreating to the base, and the enemy will not dare to chase us into the base. At the same time, the defense of the base is well concealed, so that the outside world cannot see our strengths and weaknesses, but we do not over-expose our strengths, which can give us more initiative."
"As for our current production capacity, you can rest assured. I have carefully designed all the parts of these devices. There are no parts that require large-scale manufacturing machines. Our current foundry production capacity is fully capable of handling them."
"As long as we transport some core production lines and manufacturing machines to the field, and ensure the supply of various rare metals and other materials of space-time particles, all these facilities can be produced smoothly, and the cost will be within a completely acceptable range."
Of course, what Chen She called acceptable was completely different from what other members of the resistance army called acceptable.
No matter what Chen She made, the budget in his mind was 2 to 3 times higher than that of other rebels.
Chen She's words successfully fooled Zhang Sirui.
Other senior leaders of the resistance army also had no objection to Chen She's plan.
It was obvious that they did not have a very clear idea about the base construction, and at this time they still followed Chen She's opinion.
Chen She was very happy. He could feel that he was gaining more and more control over the rebels.
Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, I will be responsible for the initial planning of the field base. The selection mechanism of the ice field will be coordinated by Zhou Lei and me. Zhou Lei is mainly responsible for recruiting suitable candidates in the experience store and managing our foundry in the satellite city. After the screening, the suitable candidates will be sent to the base, and I will conduct a secondary screening of the foundry and other personnel at the base, and finally the team leader will make the final review."
"The foundry at the base will first produce the parts for these three types of defense facilities. The manufacturing parameter drawings and production lines of various manufacturing machines need to be replanned. But these shouldn't take too long."
"In addition, I think the outdoor training ground you mentioned earlier can also be put on the agenda. However, we still need to carry out initial planning first."
"Recruiting orphans is easy. There are many orphans wandering around Liming City. We can just ask Zhou Lei to recruit them all. But the only problem is, Captain, you said we want to set up an education department. How do we do it specifically? It sounds complicated, and none of us here have similar experience."
Chen She smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, just let Du Guanqi handle this matter."
The previous rebels had always acted recklessly and had never considered the issue of ideological education. Even if they had, it was nothing more than a simple goal of unifying thoughts and overthrowing the big chaebols.
Under this goal, the rebels can interpret it in many different ways, and everyone has different ideas about the ideal route.
The most mainstream approach is to overthrow the big capitalists by force. As long as the fight continues, things will change.
Besides, some people also think that they can cooperate with the big chaebols, use one group of big chaebols to overthrow the laws of another group of big chaebols, let these chaebols fight each other as rebels, and finally reap the benefits.
In addition to this, there are many other routes. In short, the larger resistance forces that currently exist are almost all different in terms of how to defeat the big capitalists.
Chen She did not agree with any of these routes. It was obvious that these routes seemed a bit idealistic and full of the mentality of quick victory. Chen She had some ideas of his own.
If this idea is made clear, some of the rebels may not agree. So Chen She thinks it is a good thing that these rebels do not understand, because in this way, he only needs to convince Du Guanqi.
At this point, Chen She stood up and said, "Okay, you guys continue to discuss the details of the plan. Including the construction of the base, and the establishment of a source system for the resistance army. I want to meet Du Guanqi and talk to him about the education industry."
After leaving the meeting of responsible persons, Chen She went straight to the barracks where Du Guanqi was.
At this time, some changes have taken place in Lishan Technology's field base.
The former field base was in a state of concealment, whether it was the base vehicles or the barracks, they were all well hidden, like small hills. Covered with snow, personnel walked through underground passages, and from the outside it looked like a wasteland.
But with the destruction of the Fujitang Group's branch base, Chen She no longer needs to hide it like before. He can officially announce to everyone that Lishan Technology is about to establish a branch base in the wild.
Therefore, there will definitely be some obvious facilities in the field base, and particle barriers must also be set up.
Otherwise, if a field sub-base is clearly being built and vehicles are frequently entering and exiting, but other people cannot see where the sub-base is, this will also arouse suspicion.
Chen She's idea was to divide the entire base into two different areas, one is the visible area and the other is the invisible area.
The visible area is completely in the form of other chaebols' field bases. The various facilities for building space-time particles are also clearly visible. It mainly serves as a confusing effect, so that everyone can know that Lishan Technology has established a base in the wild.
But the scope of the visible area will not be very large, and will match the current scale of Lishan Technology. In the eyes of other consortiums, this is just an ordinary base in the wild that is not worth worrying about.
In a larger area is the invisible area, which will still follow the previous method to hide the base vehicles and various buildings as much as possible.
To outsiders, the field base of Lishan Technology is only a small area. Various power transmission devices extend from the base to the periphery, extending to the particle collection field in the distance. In the center of the particle collection field and the base, there are large tracts of wasteland with many undulating hills.
But in fact, they didn't know that these so-called small hills were actually all kinds of facilities of the base. The real base of Lishan Technology was several times larger than what they could see.
At this time, the core area of the field base is under construction. The particle barrier has officially taken effect, and people can walk freely under the particle barrier. Although the particle barrier will burn a lot of space-time particles and is relatively expensive, it is also a necessary expense for building a base in the wild.
Chen She came to the barracks where Du Guanqi was, only to see that Du Guanqi was not experiencing Mewtwo in the game cabin as usual, but was looking at the scenery outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
He was thinking so seriously that he didn't even notice Chen She coming over.
"Mr. Guanqi, are you living well here?" Chen She asked.
Du Guanqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Thank you for your attention, I am living very well here, even more comfortable than in Liming City. I haven't felt so completely relaxed for a long time."
Chen She added: "I have arranged for someone to purchase the professional equipment needed for time-space broadcasting. It should be delivered today, and then your truth broadcasting can be resumed."
Du Guanqi felt a little ashamed: "What Truth Broadcasting? Now that I think about it, the name I gave it was a little too exaggerating."
"I originally wanted to say that the meaning of truth broadcasting is that we do not possess the truth, but are just on the road to searching for the truth. But now it seems that I even got the route and direction of searching for the truth wrong."
Chen She smiled and said, "Mr. Guanqi, you don't have to be too self-deprecating. There is no absolute truth in this world that never changes. We are just moving forward within the concepts we already know."
“Why should we sigh at the infinity of truth? Every bit of progress brings us joy.”
"By the way, besides the space-time broadcast, I have two things to ask of you."
Du Guanqi nodded, "You can go ahead and tell me."
Chen She said: "First of all, I hope you can give lectures to the resistance fighters in the base, especially the new resistance fighters. Unify their thoughts so that they can know more clearly why they are fighting."
"In addition, I will also find a way to select a few mentors from the current talents of the resistance army. They will teach a variety of knowledge, whether it is mechanics, computing power, history, etc., all aspects must be involved and covered. As the overall person in charge, you must coordinate these people so that the education of the resistance soldiers within the base can achieve the most comprehensive and effective development."
Du Guanqi thought for a moment and said, "This job is very difficult for me. I am not sure if I can do it, but I also hope to contribute to the cause of the resistance. I will definitely do my best."
For Du Guanqi, his pursuit and mission is to spread his ideas as much as possible, so that ordinary people around the world can unite and jointly change this desperate world.
At this time, the target audience was simply changed from his own listeners to the rebels, which made no essential difference to Du Guanqi.
Chen She continued, "The second thing is that I want to set up an education industry, mainly for Liming City."
"You are also responsible for this matter behind the scenes, but you don't need to come to the front desk. I will handle the front desk matters myself."
Du Guanqi was a little confused. "Education industry? Are you talking about institutions like Qiyuan Education Group?"
Chen She nodded: "That's right."
Hearing this, Du Guanqi looked embarrassed and seemed a little reluctant. "This is a bit too difficult, and the gain is not worth the loss, right?"
"If you want to run a serious education industry, it is almost impossible to succeed under the siege of the Origin Education Group."
"If it doesn't generate enough profit, the industry may not be sustainable."
Although Qiyuan Education Group is notorious in the old land, it has to be said that it is indeed very powerful, and it basically has a monopoly on education in major cities throughout the old land.
Whether it is for the wealthy class, the so-called middle class, or the lower class of the entire society, as long as they want to receive education, it is difficult to completely break away from the Origin Education Group.
The Origin Education Group has completely different charging standards for different classes.
There are two main ways for the Origin Education Group to provide education for the wealthy class. One is to provide a variety of home tutoring services. Although the fees are expensive, they can ensure that the children of these wealthy families can receive the highest level of education at a very young age, leading them at the starting line. And no matter what the children of wealthy families are interested in, they can get the best guidance.
The other is to jointly run schools with big cities like Liming City. For example, the Higher Art College in Liming City is funded by the Origin Education Group. These higher schools often have high tuition fees. Although they occasionally recruit some poor students with excellent grades, overall, there are also very lucrative profits.
For the middle class, that is, those who have a certain amount of money and are eager to change the fate of the next generation through education, the Origin Education Group has also launched a model of extreme test-oriented and extreme involution. They funded the establishment of training bases, and these students were managed in a closed manner, allowing them to improve their skills in a machine-like state and strive for test quotas for ordinary people in higher education institutions such as the Liming City Higher Art College.
Although a large portion of the places in these higher education institutions are directly reserved by people from the wealthy class, for these middle-class families, the remaining places for ordinary people still mean precious opportunities to make the leap from a wealthy family to a wealthy family.
Although the training base established by the Origin Education Group is very painful, even worse than the wealthy prisoners in the Auburn Prison Group, and the tuition is also very expensive for middle-class families, the problem is that if you don't go, there is almost no possibility of being admitted to a higher college.
Therefore, most of the middle class can only pay their money and take a chance on an illusory probability.
Qiyuan Education Group also has a solution for the truly poor. These poor people never expected their children to be admitted to higher education institutions. So their demands are not to improve their grades or learn useful knowledge, but simply to make their children obedient and easy to manage.
Although there are many poor families who have no plans to have children, some people give birth to children without careful consideration. They have neither the time nor the wisdom to educate their children effectively, which leads to various problems over time.
When these problems and conflicts cannot be reconciled, these families will send their children to the special training camp of Qiyuan Education Group. The special training camp will teach some very simple basic knowledge, but more importantly, it will discipline these children very strictly so that they dare not resist.
Many parents send their disobedient children to the special training camp of Origin Education, and after a few months they will have a very obedient child.
Although the various industries of Qiyuan Education Group have been criticized, it has to be said that in the education industry, it is the undisputed leading monopoly chaebol, and currently no consortium can pose a threat to it.
For wealthy families, Origin Education provides tutoring and admission to higher education institutions; for middle-class families, there are training bases; and for poor families, there are special training camps.
In short, the principle of Qiyuan Education Group is: I want it all.
It can be said that it is fraught with difficulties to set up a new education company.
On the one hand, Qiyuan Education Group has occupied all tracks of the wealthy class, the middle class and the lower class, making it difficult for new companies to find a suitable entry point; on the other hand, Qiyuan Education Group has monopolized a large number of educational resources, whether it is excellent teachers or channels for acquiring students, or the higher education system established in major cities.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy to make a name for yourself in the education industry.
So when Du Guanqi heard Chen She's statement, he felt that it was not very realistic. This goal was obviously completely beyond his ability.
Chen She smiled and said, "Mr. Guanqi, I always thought you were a person who knew it was impossible but still did it. Why do you back down after encountering such a setback?"
“If we can’t do something as simple as changing the education industry, how can we expect to change the world?”
