Chapter 248 Establish a company employee learning system
Lin Johnson sent Eriksson out of the door and turned around and was hit hard by Lin Xiang. Lin Johnson asked his sister in surprise, "Sister, why are you hitting me?"
Lin Xiang snorted and raised her chin and said, "Who asked you to speak English in front of me? Isn't it understandable to bully me?"
There are very few English talents these days. Basically, as long as you know 26 English letters, you can pronounce the words with a specious way, and you can find a temporary job in the government department, and maybe you can become a regular employee.
Therefore, Erixon's translators often change people, and even if they are found, they will not last long. At today's meeting, Erixon had no translation and had to rely on Johnson Lin to tell him.
"There are so many foreigners in our company, so don't you learn it normally?" Lin Johnson said innocently.
When Lin Xiang heard Lin Qiang-Chengsheng talk about this, she had no good temper. She was so busy with daily affairs in the company and she had no time to study. She wanted to squeeze out time because her foundation was limited.
Lin Xiang said to her younger brother with a puzzled look: "You don't know that I have a poor foundation. I usually memorize some words and read books, but I can't understand you if you talk like this!"
Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Sister, you've done a good job. Eriksson is a Swedish and speaks with a strong Nordic accent. If you meet a serious British London accent, you might understand it!"
Lin Xiang gently slapped his younger brother on the shoulder and smiled: "Foreigners still have dialects? Just tease your sister!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said seriously: "Why don't there be? Just say that the accents of different locations in the UK are different. The most standard one is BB BBC. Even the host of bb is standard British English. In the United States, Chicago accent is standard American English."
Lin Xiang listened curiously. There is very little foreign information that can be learned in China now, such as BB and others, and they are strictly prohibited as spies. After all, Lin Johnson is able to communicate with foreigners skillfully and have been abroad. Lin Xiang has never heard of these things before.
"You can't hear foreign radio in China!" Lin Xiang said helplessly.
Lin Qiangsheng said: "I originally wanted to wait until the technical school was formal and hired some English teachers to teach English classes to our company's employees. Our company also needs to establish a learning mechanism to continuously improve the knowledge level and labor skills of the company's employees. However, the teaching building has not been arranged yet, so I have not told you about this. Why not take advantage of the time when the company's adjustment and reforms are made. You can arrange the employee's learning plan!"
"Really? It's great! Establish a learning mechanism to improve the quality of employees. Johnson & Johnson, you have a good idea!" Lin Xiang praised Lin Johnson's plan. She didn't expect her younger brother to think so far. She was still sad because she couldn't understand English dialogue, but her younger brother had long thought about this and also thought about ordinary employees of the company.
Seeing that his sister was so happy, Lin Qiangsheng said even more: "I originally thought that in the future, the senior management of our company would go abroad to find a university to study business management. After all, we are all native. Through further studies abroad, the company's management level can be improved to the international level at once. Why not? Sister, why not do it now? You might as well follow this plan and lay a solid foundation in our school first. I will send you to study abroad for a while within one or two years! Maybe it's one year or two years, so you have to get a diploma from a famous foreign school!"
Lin Xiang was very happy when she heard Lin Johnson's promise, and she could hardly suppress her laughter. She giggled: "Can I really go to a university abroad? Do you don't need to take the foreign university exam?"
Lin Johnson waved his hand and said, "There are foreign universities that can take the exam, but there are also private universities that pay money to go to. After entering the university, you have to study hard, otherwise it will be difficult to get a diploma! There is also learning English well before going abroad to take the TOEFL test. At present, we can only go to Hong Kong to take the exam in China."
Although it is said that it is impossible to spend money to go to famous American schools such as Harvard and Yale, as Lin Johnson knows, you can actually go to these schools even if you spend money. American universities generally have many so-called "rich donors". When the conditions for applying for students are similar, the children of these "rich donors" have priority. There is also priority to knowing an alumni who gets recommendations. In addition, it is a huge donor. Now, the United States has more than $1 million.
"Oh, it feels so difficult!" Lin Xiang sighed lightly, shook her head and said.
Lin Johnson encouraged his sister to guarantee that, "It's not difficult. How could it be difficult to have a younger brother help her sister! After a while, I'll invite a teacher from the UK. My younger brother will find you a senior expert who is proficient in "Queen English" in the UK. He will come to China to teach you classes. At that time, as long as you pass the TOEFL exam, I will recommend you to Harvard and Yale. Your Queen English will not be ashamed of these American old hats as soon as your Queen English debuts!"
Lin Johnson laughed loudly, and Lin Xiang was happy to listen to the excitement. She thought Lin Johnson was joking, a British expert who was proficient in Queen's English. Lin Xiang didn't know what her brother was talking about, but she remembered what TOEFL he had to pass.
Lin Xiang is very talented in managing companies and handling business, but she has no confidence in exams. She has bought all the college entrance examination papers in the past two years and tried to do them. However, after finishing them, Lin Xiang was very disappointed. Her scores and college scores grew year by year. She felt that the college entrance examination was getting more and more difficult, and she was already unsustainable. Until she finished the college entrance examination papers in July 1980, Lin Xiang had completely given up her dream of going to college.
Lin Xiang didn't tell Lin Qiangsheng about these things. Another thing she said was that she didn't say anything when she saw that her younger brother was not very positive about the domestic universities.
Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng really doesn't care much about the current teaching level in China. One reason is that what we teach in China is completely unable to keep up with the situation. Many people start studying abroad after studying for a year or two without waiting for graduation. There are particularly many international students in science and engineering in this regard.
Moreover, the content taught in universities now has many outdated and inconsistent things, such as politics and other factors. Not only has the big scores of politics, but social thoughts have been in a period of violent turbulent debate in recent years, and it would be strange if teachers don’t know what students should teach to learn well! So it makes Lin Johnson feel that the political awareness of the students taught in recent years is very questionable. Most of these people later took up leadership positions. How could a person with a chaotic political thought be integrated into that collective? Lin Johnson felt very strange!
The company's business unit system is progressing steadily, in order to make the procedures of enterprises in the province smoother, and to make the material company establish a sign in the provincial capital. After all, this is a resource and energy company involving wood, metal and coal.
Lin Johnson did not know whether the current policy would allow foreign capital to do this. As far as he knew, Hammer of the American energy giant Occupy Oil Company was negotiating large-scale cooperation projects for coal mining in China. However, Lin Johnson's material company does not involve mining after all, it is a trading company and also has the right to import and export. This requires the province to work hard. The import and export rights are now only in the hands of a few central units, and it is not so easy to obtain.
Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng specifically went to see Zhou Jianjiang of the Foreign Trade Department and told him that the company would donate 3 million US dollars to the province, one million US dollars as a donation to clean up the weapons left over from the Japanese invaders in China, and two million US dollars as a donation to the province's education.
When Zhou Jianjiang heard that a foreign-funded company was going to donate, he said in surprise and joy: "Comrade Lin Johnson, tell Mr. Eriksson for me, I am very grateful for his selfless and generous help to China!"
Lin Johnson smiled and nodded repeatedly, even if he agreed to Zhou Jianjiang.
Zhou Jianjiang called and told his superiors about the matter. The leader was also surprised by the donations from foreign companies and said that he must first ask the central government to see if the province can accept the donation.
After contacting and asking for instructions, all departments in the province knew about this. Part of the 3 million US dollars was donated to clean up the weapons left by the Japanese invaders and part of the donation for education. The first thing to be happy was the education department, followed by the People's Armed Forces Department, the public security department and the army. There were many departments that cleaned up the weapons left by the Japanese army. It was them that cooperated that the leaders of several departments almost fought because of the uneven distribution of who was more and who was less.
With the approval of the central government, the province finally put a heart down and could collect this money!
The $3 million donation of corporate donations is not the first in China. The Hong Kong businessman who drove a taxi company in Yangcheng, which Lin Johnson knew, started donating funds to support education in 1979. But after all, it is the only one in the province, and newspapers have more or less reported it.
The donation ceremony was specially selected in the Northern Building, which was once a designated hotel in Bincheng that specially welcomes foreign guests and senior civil servants from outside the province.
This donation came at the right time. After the reform and opening up, the work of cleaning up the weapons left by the Japanese invaders was cooled down due to the promotion of Sino-Japanese friendship. This was nearly twenty years old. In almost the 21st century, people were killed in almost most provinces across the country due to injuries and injuries. Lin Johnson's donation started the cleaning of H Province again.
After seeing off the provincial leaders, Lin Qiangsheng and Zhou Jianjiang said: "Senior Zhou, several of our company's subordinate companies also ask for help from the Foreign Trade Department!"
Zhou Jianjiang's face was flushed and assured Lin Johnson: "Don't worry, this time we will fight in the province no matter what. There is no problem with the subsidiaries of your company's company, and we will approve the import and export rights of the material company. We will also help you fight for the central government in the province!"
The Central Import and Export Company is not so easy to deal with, how could they give up their rights easily? Lin Johnson followed and said inspiration: "Senior Zhou, do you go and make trouble? Go and ask for it! Our company will reimburse you for travel expenses and other expenses!"
Zhou Jianjiang asked in surprise in English, "Really?"
Lin Johnson also said in English: "Of course, it's necessary!" (To be continued)
