Chapter 1034 Domestic Higher Education and Solving Gender Imbalance

, the reborn tech upstart

Ye Zishu still underestimated the influence brought by this nationwide fireworks show. Visiting relatives during the New Year and chatting with relatives are basically inseparable from this matter.

The problem was that he still had to discuss with these relatives as if nothing had happened, so that Pei Qing, who accompanied him to visit relatives, always watched his performance with a suppressed smile. She didn't expect him to act so professionally.

In fact, he feels that acting is quite hard for him, and his relatives also watch the news. After all, everyone now has a mobile phone, and watching the news is basically an important leisure activity in their spare time.

At the beginning, the relatives directly asked whether what was said on the Internet was true, and wanted to know from him whether he did it. After being denied by him, they continued to test it later.

After leaving relatives, Ye Zishu finally heaved a sigh of relief. This year is finally over, and there is no need to visit relatives for the next Lantern Festival, as long as he closes the door and passes by himself.

Originally, I planned to do something for the Lantern Festival as well, to create a lot of romantic scenes, so that couples across the country would have legitimate dating opportunities and help them find their other half better.

But think about it or forget it. Although it was cool to do this for a while, the follow-up questions made it difficult for him to parry, and he would act arbitrarily from time to time, which would not give people a good sense.

Although he didn't arrange special activities for the Lantern Festival, the county attached great importance to it, held a lantern show, and arranged a large area for guessing lantern riddles.

Throughout the Lantern Festival, the county town was very lively, even Pei Qing couldn't help being tempted, she took Ye Zishu to the county to watch the lantern show, Ye Ziqi and Ye Ziqin also went there to play with them.

This kind of festival is also an opportunity for businesses to make money. In addition to selling items related to love in the store, there are also many people who set up stalls.

There are concentric locks, twin lotus lanterns, Butterfly Lovers lanterns and so on. Of course, there are also lanterns for "single dogs", wishing them to find the other half they like in the coming year.

You can see a large number of people carrying lanterns on the street. In order to reflect the charm of the lanterns, even the usually bright street lights have been dimmed a lot.

Ye Zishu and the others also bought lanterns in the county, and then took them around to have a look around, eat food, or buy interesting small objects.

In the end, everyone came to the place where the lantern riddles were guessed. There was almost a sea of ​​people, as if everyone in the county had gathered here tonight. Even adults like them were afraid of being dispersed by the crowd.

Only later did he realize that it wasn’t that guessing lantern riddles was so attractive, but that the government set aside a sum of money to establish lantern riddle guessers in order to increase participation and to make good things come together.

But these rewards are not given in cash, but mainly in service and item rewards. For example, Ye Zishu guessed a moderately difficult lantern riddle and was rewarded with a one-night stay in the best love hotel in the county.

This is considered a service reward. As for item rewards, they are basically items in pairs, which fits well with the theme of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. Later, I heard that many couples got married during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.

Compared with the Valentine's Day passed down from the West in the previous life, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival does not focus on consumption, but creates a good romantic atmosphere and gives boys and girls a chance to open their hearts to date.

But now young people over the age of 18 are also very rich, because basically they are not employed at this age, and many are still studying, but they can also receive social security benefits.

This allows them to easily meet their living needs without taking money from their parents and relying on the social security funds they receive. Therefore, there is still a large market for young people's consumption needs.

It's just that they don't spend all the social security money they receive, because the tuition fees in colleges and universities are also very high now, which is different from the previous logic.

When there is no social security fund, the purpose of the low tuition fees of colleges and universities is to enable more students to study and not be unable to afford to go to school because of poor families.

It is different now, they receive a lot of social security funds, and there is no situation where they cannot afford to go to school, so it is reasonable to increase tuition fees.

At the same time, it also allows colleges and universities to have funds to increase investment.

At Tianwen Medical College and Tianwen Institute of Technology, which New Oriental Education Group assists in managing, the annual tuition fee for students is as high as 100,000 yuan, while before there was no tuition fee and subsidies.

In fact, not only private colleges and universities, but also the tuition fees of domestic public colleges and universities have also seen a very large increase, basically more than 50,000 yuan per year, and the tuition fees of good schools are almost 100,000 yuan.

This is a huge reform for domestic colleges and universities. In the past, a large part of college funds was invested by the state, and the distribution had a strong administrative trace.

Most of the income of colleges and universities now comes from tuition fees. If colleges and universities want to win the favor of students, they must come up with real things to attract these students.

Well-known colleges and universities do not have this kind of trouble, because they have never been short of students, but for unknown colleges and universities, the competition is even more brutal, and it is not a distant topic for these schools to advance or retreat.

In the past, the overall number of domestic colleges and universities was relatively small, and even the worst colleges and universities could recruit students, and even the worst colleges had to score a certain level to be admitted.

It is different now. Many public schools have expanded their enrollment, and they can enroll much larger students than before. In addition, there are more than 3,000 vocational schools under the New Oriental Education Group.

They used to be vocational schools, but with the long-term investment of New Oriental Education Group, the strength of these vocational schools has surpassed that of many colleges and universities.

In terms of investment in education, New Oriental Education Group can be said to spare no expense, and most of the money they earn is invested in the construction of these vocational schools.

Now whether it is in terms of hardware facilities or software supporting facilities, their vocational schools can be said to be the best in China.

The hardware facilities include not only beautiful campus construction, but also many advanced laboratories, and the software facilities include not only advanced management models and teaching quality, but also many top scholars and experts.

It is difficult to invite top domestic scholars, and now other universities are not short of money, and these experts and scholars are also inextricably linked with these universities.

To be rich is to have the confidence to recruit top scholars from all over the world. In this regard, both he and New Oriental Education Group are open-minded. As long as they are talents, no matter what country they are from, they can be recruited.

If a country wants to maintain long-term prosperity, talents are particularly important. Not only does it need to cultivate a large number of talents, but it also needs to make rational use of its economy and influence to recruit talents trained by others.

This not only strengthens oneself, but also weakens others. Therefore, when it comes to poaching talents, the performance of domestic colleges and universities is surprisingly consistent, and the country also encourages colleges and universities to poach top talents from all over the world.

However, New Oriental Education Group's poaching of people all over the world did not start last year, but started a long time ago. It started poaching people for Tianwen Medical College and Tianwen Institute of Technology.

Now it has begun to recruit people for its vocational schools. Although these schools are defined as vocational schools, the ideal of New Oriental Education Group is not just to treat these schools as vocational schools.

Their goal in the first stage is to create 1,000 top colleges and universities and transform this former vocational school into a university, so the investment is the most.

There are not only first-class experimental facilities here, but also a large number of top scholars from all over the world. It is much easier to poach people than before.

When a country's economy is large enough to a certain extent, it will have its own halo attributes in many fields. This feature can also be reflected in the global recruitment of talents.

At present, the number of scholars recruited by New Oriental Education Group for their schools is as high as 50,000, which is the educational institution that has introduced the largest number of scholars, and the quality is very good.

Their talent recruitment is different from other schools, and it is in charge of general robots. Compared with humans, they are much stricter when recruiting.

Before targeting, they search the global papers, filter out papers with low content, and then rank papers by quality and quantity to determine the priority of publishers.

Then a careful analysis will be done based on the papers of the publishers to determine that these papers are indeed written by the publishers themselves, rather than relying on academic status and other factors.

Although these tasks are relatively basic, it is actually very difficult for people to do them. It is not an easy task to study each paper thoroughly, not to mention that it is even more difficult to complete in the face of a sea of ​​papers.

Only through super quantum computers and artificial intelligence can the analysis and demonstration of global paper data be completed in a relatively short period of time to determine which scholars have real materials and which are just for fame.

After completing these basic tasks, invitations will be issued to the target, and important figures will be visited in person to show the management model and scientific research level of the school under its umbrella.

At the beginning, they didn't have much achievement in this area. After all, they were positioned as vocational schools before. Even though there were many adjustments later, the overall scientific research level was still far behind that of top universities.

But their data can be beautified completely. The method is to establish a scientific research cooperation mechanism with brother companies, and the strength of these brother companies is at the top level in the world.

In addition, these schools employ a large number of general-purpose robots as teaching teachers and scientific researchers, and they have some achievements, not no achievements.

Especially after they purchased a super quantum computer from Baihu Technology Company, the teaching and scientific research capabilities of the general robot teachers have been greatly improved, and the scientific research results have also shown an explosive trend.

In addition, as the largest educational institution in the world, there is no need to question the financial strength of New Oriental Education Group. The combination of various factors makes them very capable of attracting talents.

According to their statistics, the success rate of their recruiting is as high as 70%. This data is very impressive. With the continuous improvement of hard power, the success rate of recruiting talents will be even higher.

To attract talents and keep them, it is definitely not enough to rely on deception alone, and it is not enough to rely solely on remuneration, especially for scholars with ideals, they will not make a bad job wherever they go.

In order to retain these talents, New Oriental Education Group is also taking great pains. First of all, it is to improve the conditions for scientific research and invest more and more in scientific research funds.

In the past, relying on their own online business revenue alone was still relatively stretched. After all, their annual income was only a little over 2 trillion yuan. Excluding salaries and general expenses, the funds that can be invested in scientific research are still huge.

However, it is distributed to thousands of schools, and the money allocated to each school is actually not much. Now the high tuition fees charged to students can be regarded as making up for the funding gap in this regard.

The second is to make it easier for these scholars to integrate into the local environment. People are emotional animals. If they live comfortably in the local area and are not bad in other aspects, there is no reason to leave.

In order to achieve this, New Oriental Education Group equips each of them with a full-time robot assistant to help them solve problems encountered in life and work.

There are three main aspects of work. The first is to teach these scholars Chinese, because the teaching in his schools is all in Chinese, and he has never thought of offering courses in other languages.

And if you want to integrate into the local environment, you must learn the local language. In this regard, the universal robot has an absolute advantage. It is not only proficient in the local language of these scholars, but also proficient in Chinese.

According to statistics, as long as these scholars and robot assistants get along with each other day and night for about a year, a large number of these scholars can master Chinese, and there will be no major obstacles in daily and academic exchanges.

Of course, to become a top scholar, one must have a good IQ and not be particularly stupid in learning a language. Coupled with getting along day and night, it will naturally make the other party subconsciously change their language habits.

The second is to assist in teaching. Although most of the teaching work under his banner is undertaken by Universal Robots teachers, each scholar also has teaching tasks every semester. Even if he does not attend classes in person, he must do a good job in compiling teaching content.

Most scholars still choose to take classes in person, because communicating with students is a pleasant thing, especially communicating with students who are unconstrained and unconstrained, which may inspire them.

At this time, the general-purpose robot assistant will undertake the translation work, basically at the level of simultaneous interpretation, which is very useful for scholars and reduces the strangeness of being in a foreign country.

The third is the work of experimental assistants. If scholars have any good ideas and ideas, they can discuss with the assistants. Behind the universal robot is a super quantum computer.

In addition, the universal robot itself also has an advanced bionic brain, and its own intelligence is not low. There is no obstacle in discussing with these scholars.

And it can also assist scholars to conduct experiments, but no scholar will have any opinion on this experience, and even many scholars regard the robot assistant as a brother who fights side by side.

In fact, with the help of these general-purpose robots, you can learn a lot in the communication and getting along with these top scholars, and as long as one general-purpose robot masters it, it means that all general-purpose robots have mastered it.

The current talent recruitment is just the beginning. According to the plan of New Oriental Education Group, they will recruit 500,000 top talents from all over the world in the future.

It is planned to use 20 years to accomplish this goal. On average, 25,000 global talents are introduced every year, which will completely establish their strength as the first educational institution.

Of course, they also spared no effort in cultivating their own talents, formulated a set of talent training plans, and used all available resources to complete the talent training work.

If you don't pay attention to the cultivation of your own talents, but blindly dig talents from outside, it will be a bit of putting the cart before the horse. New Oriental Education Group will definitely not make such a mistake.

Due to the aggressiveness of New Oriental Education Group, their first phase of 1,000 colleges and universities construction plan has been recognized by the education department, and it was upgraded from a vocational school to an ordinary college last year.

All of them have obtained the qualifications for undergraduate education, another 300 schools have obtained the qualifications for postgraduate education, and 100 schools have obtained the qualifications for issuing doctoral degrees.

The emergence of such a large number of colleges and universities has made domestic higher education competition more intense. In the past, one had to rank in the top of the college entrance examination to have the opportunity to go to college, but now it is not the case.

Basically, everyone who graduates from high school can have the opportunity to go to university, but the quality of the college entrance examination determines the quality of the university they study. This is a huge blow to many colleges and universities that are not very good.

In the past, they had the opportunity to select students, but now it is the students who select them. Last year, there was a serious shortage of enrollment in colleges and universities, and they were directly merged into other colleges and universities.

This phenomenon will become more and more serious in the future. Even if all of them go to college, the number of students graduating from high school each year is limited. In recent years, the number of students has been relatively large.

Now the colleges and universities under the New Oriental Education Group alone can absorb 5 million high school graduates every year. Coupled with the trend of public colleges and universities and enrollment expansion, the originally weak colleges and universities are destined to be eliminated in large numbers.

In the future, even if everyone has a second child and all graduate from high school, the number of high school graduates will be about 20 million each year. Don’t think they still have 15 million places.

New Oriental Education Group is also actively promoting the transformation of all its vocational schools to complete the second goal of expanding the number of its colleges and universities to 2,000, or merging them, and the enrollment scale will reach 10 million.

The remaining 1,000 vocational schools will be reserved for vocational training. Although you can get social security benefits without working in the future, social security benefits will definitely be linked to occupational level and educational level.

It’s not that everyone gets the same collar. If it is really the same, the society is likely to be a pool of stagnant water, which is not conducive to social development and personal struggle.

If you lie flat, you can only get a decent life, but if you want a better life, you still need to work hard, but you won't be as introverted as before. As long as you meet the standards, you can get the corresponding gains.

Ye Zishu tried his best to promote the establishment of the social security fund, which is not only the need of social and technological development, but also wants to make everyone live a relatively relaxed life, and the basic material life can be guaranteed.

But it is definitely not to see the formation of a giant baby society. If this is the case, it is better to be cruel, at least only to eliminate some people, so that the whole society will not sink.

There is no conflict between vocational education and ordinary college education, and people's interests will not remain the same. If someone wants to change careers, entering a vocational education school is a very good way.

Moreover, not everyone who has experienced higher education can become an expert or scholar. Most people may still be ordinary people. If you want to gain more room for improvement, changing the track is also a good choice.

In the future, scientific research is a channel for promotion, and professional ability is also a channel for promotion. Only by establishing and improving more channels for promotion can social vitality be effectively stimulated.

The fear is that thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. After some people feel hopeless, they may directly choose to lie flat. They can live well anyway. This is the worst case scenario.

Generally speaking, although tuition fees have increased, the burden is not heavy for many families. After all, these students used to spend money from their families. Even if the tuition fees are cheap, they still have to get money from their families.

Now as long as they are 18 years old, they can get social security benefits. In addition to paying tuition fees, they still have enough left over to pay living expenses and daily expenses, and they live a relatively comfortable life.

In terms of education, basic education is fully borne by the state, and parents do not need to pay for higher education, which greatly reduces the public's willingness to have children, and there is no need to worry about children's life in the future.

Therefore, after the country promulgated the new childbearing policy, couples in the childbearing period will basically have a second child, and the pressure to raise children is not too great.

After all, it was difficult for housewives to earn income in the past, but now housewives can also receive social security benefits. Let alone a couple raising two children together, even if one person raises two children, life will not be particularly bad.

At present, the domestic income gap is not necessarily the most balanced. After all, a person like him is absolutely superior in terms of assets, but he does not take much into his pocket.

But in terms of happiness index, since the establishment of the social security fund, it has immediately become the country with the highest happiness index in the world.

People have various misfortunes, but happiness is basically the same, that is, the material life is rich enough, the establishment of the social security fund, and the original distribution pattern have enabled countless people at the bottom to live a very decent life.

In addition, they don't have to work from 9 to 5, and they can arrange their time freely. If this is not happy, then it is a bit hypocritical. At least it solves more than 90% of the obstacles to happiness.

After he came back, he chatted with Pei Qing about these things, but Pei Qing told him that there is still a relatively serious patriarchal thought in China at present. It is not about raising children to guard against old age, but the thinking habits of thousands of years.

This phenomenon is especially serious in rural areas, and there is still a situation where there is still a situation where she will not give up until she has a son. Ye Shu can guess this, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

In his view, with the social security fund and a sound pension system, the concept of these people should change, after all, they don't have to worry about pension issues at all.

Although the situation is somewhat different from his guess, he still believes Pei Qing's words. After all, Taiji Group controls Taiji Medical Group, and the statistics of this kind of data should be very accurate.

Ye Zishu thought for a while, and it was actually very easy to solve this problem. Then use technology to make it easy for every couple to have a son and a daughter.

If each couple can only have two children at most, it is estimated that most people want one son and one daughter. The son is the future of the family, but the daughter can know the hot and the cold. Only a pair of children can form a "good" word.

Thinking of this, Ye Zishu immediately started to research and develop related medicines. Anyway, the year is over, and there is no urgent matter to deal with now. It just so happens that Ye Ziqin has nothing to do in the future, so she can find something for her to do.

Moreover, drugs that can determine whether a boy or a girl is born have a very broad market prospect, but they must cooperate with relevant legislation to enforce the balance between men and women.

If this drug is used, the first child is to choose a boy, then the second child will be forced to choose a girl, and vice versa, so that the male to female ratio will not be unbalanced due to human factors.

Gender imbalance will also cause serious social problems. There are not only a few things that people pursue in their lives, such as a good material life, forming a beautiful family and having children under their knees.

In the past, if they wanted to have children, they could not decide on their own. Now they use technological and legal means to help them solve this problem, which should be progress on the whole.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

Pei Qing naturally supported his idea, but she thought that she should also have a child, especially after seeing Ye Zihua's daughter-in-law pregnant, her idea became stronger and stronger.
