Chapter 381: The Opportunity No Longer
Before the Spring Festival was over, schools were starting one after another.
Xibao Middle School chose to start on the 10th of the first lunar month, and the repeat class was registered one day in advance.
Yang Rui was also invited to speak as a student representative from the previous class.
He originally didn't want to take on this job, but when Zhao Dannian came forward, Yang Rui reluctantly agreed.
During the period in middle school, Zhao Dannian, as the principal, really helped him a lot. In comparison, showing up once was nothing.
The ninth day of the first lunar month.
When Yang Rui came to Xibao Middle School, he saw a crowd of people like a temple fair.
Although there are not countless vehicles filling the roads like later generations, the teams of students and parents still fill the expanded Westborough Middle School.
"How come there are so many people?" Yang Rui got out of the car and was worried when he saw the crowded crowd.
If the road is full of vehicles, at least you can walk. Now there are men and women with stinky sweat in front of the school gate, and walking through is a test.
Teacher Lu, who came to pick up Yang Rui personally, was very happy and said, "As you said, we printed a large number of advertisements in the provincial capital. Now the repetition classes of our school are popular. Most of the people here come from other cities and counties, and they all have to transfer schools. Those who come early, we arranged for them to go to the student dormitory. Those who come late all stay at the farmers' homes at the foot of the mountain. Our town is very lively. It's not over the New Year. After the New Year, there are probably still people coming to see the school."
"There are so many students coming from other cities and counties? They should know what boarding system means. Now there is only one day off a week, but they can't get back." Yang Rui looked at the chaotic crowd composed of thousands of people and felt a little incredible.
The current transportation conditions are no longer as hard as 30 years later. It is very hard to get from the city to the county, and it is even more tiring to get to Xibao Town. Although the new road has been built, it is only an ordinary two-lane, which is far from comfortable.
Under such conditions, people from other places to Xibao Middle School really want to take a tutoring lesson.
In other words, as long as Westburg Middle School is willing, their scale will be three or five times larger this year.
Yang Rui couldn't help but sigh. He remembered how difficult it was to recruit students when he started a cram school. The education industry was actually a very profitable industry, especially the gross profit, which was higher than the factory. However, Yang Rui still felt that it was difficult when he started a business. Although students would pay one semester tutoring fee at the beginning of registration, even so, without enough students, rent and other expenses made several entrepreneurial partners exhausted every day.
But looking at the current appearance of Xibao Middle School, Yang Rui is sure that as long as he relaxes the collection of money and uses appropriate strategies, he can build an education group in less than a few years.
Teacher Lu was in a good mood and looked ahead, saying, "It's this boarding system that everyone likes. Parents say that after their children go home, they can't tutor the boarding system. How good is the boarding system? If you have any questions, ask the teacher. No matter what time the teacher is in school, it's so convenient. When we go to advertise, the most common question for parents is boarding system. When parents hear that the children of British aristocrats are sent to boarding school, parents are even happier."
Yang Rui was stunned and said, "The teacher won't really serve him 24 hours a day."
"It can't be 24 hours, but fifteen or sixteen hours can be guaranteed." Teacher Lu calculated and said, "We are like this now. Every night, teachers of various subjects will be arranged to wait in the office. It will be around 11 o'clock. If you are late, you can't ask questions."
As for the current number of teachers at Xibao Middle School, if one teacher is arranged for each subject every day, it means that each teacher has to work overtime for two or three days a week. Yang Rui said astonished: "Come to work at 7 am and get off work at 11 pm, can you do it?"
Teacher Lu said indifferently: "Anyway, I'm idle. There is a TV in the office, which specializes in a room. Those who want to watch TV can watch TV, and those who don't want to watch can go to the next door to read books. The new young teachers want to live in the office."
Yang Rui was also very happy.
Teacher Lu said again: "Now Xibao Middle School has become a municipal management. Everyone is in a good mood, motivated, and young people are willing to come. You don't know that it was too difficult for the principal to recruit a teacher in the past. He said he wanted a technical secondary school student. He waited for two years but had no news. This year, not only did the technical secondary school student come, but also an undergraduate student from Pingjiang Normal University, which looks like the principal's baby."
Yang Rui laughed loudly when he heard this.
"It's good to subsidize." After seeing Yang Rui, Teacher Lu said in a lot of words: "The subsidies for Ruixue Group have always been there. Now the people in the town are envious. I get more money every month than the cadres in the town."
He said, and he also laughed.
The Ruixue Group's previous income mainly came from printing, but now it mostly comes from the profits of transport vehicles. If we follow the European and American model, Yang Rui would donate several trucks at one time as the capital of Ruixue Group, and Ruixue Group then obtained funds by operating these trucks.
It was a very risky thing to do business in the 1980s. If you are not careful, you will cross the line. Ordinary people don’t know where the line is, cadres don’t know, leaders don’t know, and senior executives don’t actually know.
Therefore, although Yang Rui himself is unwilling to get involved even though he knows that the transportation industry and business are very profitable, he is not willing to get involved, but using some spare money to let the Ruixue Group do these things by itself, which is a very good choice.
The so-called law does not hinder the masses, and students are a special group in China. The same bottom line, when it comes to party members, ordinary people, and students, is different in distance.
On the other hand, Ruixue Group is not a profit-making institution after all. In fact, Yang Rui has always regarded it as a non-profit institution. Spending money when you have money can be said to be the consumption program of Ruixue Group.
At the school stage, it is also the job of the Ruixue Group to provide subsidies and inviting outstanding teachers to class at Xibao Middle School.
Subsidies ranging from five yuan, ten yuan to twenty yuan per month were very large in the 1980s, equivalent to 15% to 50% of the salary of ordinary teachers.
Of course, if it is based on the intensity of work, it is not certain. If later teachers are willing to use the two or three hours after get off work every day to cram school, then they will earn at least more than 100% of their salary.
However, this was the consumption level in the 1980s. The 20 yuan subsidy could even attract teachers from Pingjiang to Xibao Middle School for classes. This was quite a lot. The schools affiliated to state-owned enterprises that did not have the best conditions may have a lot of bonuses, but in the Nanhu area, they are among the best.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the crowd on campus only increased and continued to decrease. Yang Rui had to move his body and squeeze in with Teacher Lu.
"Yang Rui, come here." Cao Baoming, Su Yi and others surrounded a circle and responded to Yang Rui.
Teacher Lu sent the person and said hello to do other things.
Yang Rui joked: "You are here too? Do you want to give a speech?"
This is a joke that has only happened recently, because the scale of the report meeting is very large. For example, Cao Baoming and others have never experienced such a scene. Naturally, they can't avoid being fucked at the report meeting. However, after several reports, they trained the people. Now when asked again, Su Yi said calmly: "I have prepared a manuscript to see if they let me say it."
"How could you not tell me that Beijing University of Technology is so grand that it will definitely be named by the president." Cao Baoming patted Su Yi on the shoulder hard. His score was not as high as Su Yi, so he went to the School of Metallurgical and Mechanical Electrical Engineering. Now that I have come back to see it, I always feel a little regretful.
Su Yi smiled and said, "There are so many people who signed up today, so I guess I can't be busy."
He pointed to the registration office, and the eyes of several people looked over and saw several familiar figures.
"That's Li Tieqiang and Wang Wanbin." Wang Guohua pointed with his finger.
Li Tieqiang and Wang Wanbin were both the first members to join the Ruixue Group. Later, they were expelled because they wanted to compete for control of the Ruixue Group. In last year's college entrance examination, neither of them could get the cross-line score.
Of course, they will continue to repeat the exam this year.
Cao Baoming narrowed his eyes and recognized the person for a while, and said, "It's Li Tieqiang and Wang Wanbin, why are they the only ones? Why haven't Zhang Hui and the others met?"
"Zhang Hui is going home." Huang Ren said: "Zhang Hui has taken the exam three times and has given up this year."
"I took the exam three times, gave up?"
"He scored less this time than last year. He was stuck at home for two months and decided not to take the exam later. He and I were junior high school classmates and sent letters to each other." Huang Renping said bluntly.
Wang Guohua suddenly felt unbearable and said, "You didn't persuade him? Hold on, maybe you'll make a move."
"It's not that easy to get ahead." Huang Ren sighed and said, "Not to mention the distance, there are people in Xibao Town who have been taking the exam for 6 years. Zhang Hui's family's conditions are average, and there are younger brothers and sisters below. He looks like he is 20 years old, so how can he stay in school every day and do nothing."
Wang Guohua's father was the director of the post office, and his conditions were better in Xibao Town, but he often saw the lives of the surrounding farmers, shook his head and asked, "What did Zhang Hui do?"
"What else can I do? Go home and be a farmer." Huang Ren paused and said, "Our class also has Lu Hongfei, and he signed up to go to Shangchuan to repeat the school."
"Why go to Shangchuan? It's more than a hundred miles away from home."
"Lu Hongfei is 21 this year. It is difficult to register for local areas. It will be easier to change his age when he arrives in Shangchuan. The most important thing is that I guess I want to find a quiet place. I have many relatives at home and I don't want to stay in local areas." Huang Ren said with a grudge and said, "You guys say, if we don't get into college, will we repeat the school now or work?"
"If I can't pass the exam, I will go south to Shenzhen to work." Wang Guohua was the most chic and his voice was the loudest.
Cao Baoming scoffed and said, "You knew something from Shenzhen before. If you fail the exam, your dad will definitely send you to the postal office."
Xu Jing smiled and agreed: "I envied Wang Guohua the most back then. I didn't have to look for a way out, so I had it all by nature."
"Second Generation of Officials." Yang Rui commented with a smile.
Cao Baoming and others agreed.
They are looking at others, and others are looking at them.
Li Tieqiang clenched his fists with both hands and whispered to Wang Wanbin: "I will definitely get into college and show these people."
Wang Wanbin was discouraged and didn't speak. His peers in the village were admitted to university last year because they joined the Ruixue Group. The whole family happily visited each other every day and had a big banquet for guests for three days.
Wang Wanbin was very bored by this. But in his heart, Wang Wanbin understood their excitement. He would be assigned a job after he was admitted to university, and he would become a state cadre who would eat imperial grain in the future. If he couldn't get into university, he could only continue his father's profession and become a farmer.
As the farmer's son, Wang Wanbin really doesn't want to experience the hardships and fatigues of the farmers.
Registering for a re-education is not so much that I want to go to college, but rather that I don’t want to go home to farm...
"Why didn't I see Ruixue Group accepting people?" Wang Wanbin's lips trembled and asked this question by a scammer.
Li Tieqiang curled his lips: "Didn't they change to the recommendation system? If I think about it, they dare not accept people with great fanfare. There are only a few places for the college entrance examination. If one person passes, ten people will not pass the exam. Who can guarantee that they will get into college? Yang Rui is no longer here, and the Ruixue Group is just a false reputation."
Li Tieqiang said "fair reputation" and couldn't help but feel a little upset. Compared with the university quota, the printing income of more than a dozen yuan a month is really not worth mentioning.
