Fatty is a very happy creature, their happiness comes from their simplicity. A fat man is always easy to be kind to society, and Ning Mo is such a happy fat man.

Unlike Lai Taotao, Ning Mo's purpose in doing business in Africa was not to make money, or to be precise, his ultimate goal was not to make money. If Ning Mo once cared about making money, it was just because he wanted to prove his value by making money, so that people would not say that he was a waste of money.

The benefits of the maintenance center are very considerable. At least for people like Lai Taotao who belongs to the ordinary middle class in China, this benefits are quite satisfactory. However, Ning Mo is a person who has been separated from the low-level interest. He has paid tens of millions of dividends in Dahe Drone Company a year. This is because Dahe Drone Company is now in an expansion period, and most of the dividends are invested in expansion and reproduction. If calculated based on the market value of the company, Ning Mo's family's assets have reached billions of dollars. This income from the maintenance center is really not enough for Ning Mo.

After Ning Mo arrived in Africa, he first experienced a period of excitement in entrepreneurship, and then began to get a little tired. The reason was that the benefits of entrepreneurship were not as large as he had imagined before, and this profit was not enough to prove Ning Mo's value.

Well, before starting a business, Ning Mo did not have a clear calculation of how much money he could get. He just felt that he "should be able to" make a lot of money, so that everyone respected him. But this goal is actually destined to be unachievable. Not to mention that he is just a machine tool repair, even a large machine tool company like temporary machine, the income cannot be compared with Dahe UAV Company. It is impossible to make a lot of money by relying on machine tools.

Opening a machine tool school was something that Ning Mo had never considered. But when he suddenly thought of this idea, he immediately felt that this was what he really wanted to do. He remembered the fact that Tang Zifeng gave him shares in Lijia Supermarket, giving him roses, and his hands were filled with fragrance. This is what he said.

Now he has no worries about food and clothing, and his net worth can even be ranked among the domestic rich list. At this time, money is just a number for him, and being able to use money to help others seems to be a more meaningful thing. Ning Mo's education when he was a child made him feel that helping the "Asia, African and Latin brothers" was a noble thing. After arriving in Africa, seeing the local poverty and backwardness, his urge to help the weak became stronger.

With a new goal, Ning Mo was rejuvenated again. He did not tell Zhang Beibei and Tang Zifeng about his thoughts, for fear that they would stop him or interfere in his own affairs after hearing that, so that his independence would not be reflected. He used his private money, rented the venue, and hired several machine tool technicians from China to be helpers, so he started the school in the suburbs of Addis Ababa.

Ning Mo did not have the experience of running a technical school. At the beginning, he planned to completely imitate the model of Dongye Machinery Technical School he attended and offer students a full set of courses from mechanical principles to music, physical fitness, and beauty. After recruiting students and having preliminary contact with the students, Ning Mo realized that he was thinking too much.

These young black people who claim to have high school education have their actual level not even meet the standards of first and second grade students in China. Students who have basically no basic mathematics and physical foundations have taught mechanical principles, which is as difficult as letting Ning Mo lose weight.

As for those courses outside of machinery, they are of little use in the local area. For the poor, comprehensive development is a luxury, and what they need more is to quickly master a technology so that they can work and make money in factories.

At this time, Lai Taotao gave Ning Mo a trick, which was to stop taking any theoretical courses, and directly handed over an old machine tool for each student, and asked them to disassemble it, install it and then disassemble it until they had the impression of the machine tool in their bones.

This trick was actually told to them when several old fitters of Pinyi Machinery were talking about it every day. Before liberation, children from poor families had no chance to go to school and were sent to the factory to apply for apprentices at a young age. These people were basically illiterate and had no mechanical foundation, so they could only follow their masters to disassemble and install machine tools.

But these people gradually feel the machine tool because they disassemble and install more times. From helping the master, they develop to being able to repair the machine tool independently, and then they learn to use it. Some masters who are from fitters are better at driving lathes and milling machines than ordinary third- and fourth-level turners and milling machines, in fact, they are more familiar with the principles of machine tools than the latter.

Ning Mo himself is not a smart person. At least when facing a top academic master like Tang Zifeng, he thought he was not good at it. He learned technology in a technical school and used the four words of practice to make perfection. From being confused at the beginning to being able to stand alone later, he did not seem to have experienced any "enlightenment" process, but just endured experience. By judging others by oneself, Ning Mo also felt that Lai Taotao's idea was really suitable for young Africans.

He did it right away. Ning Mo contacted his friends in China and asked them to buy a large number of scrap machine tools for him at the price of buying scrap iron. They all loaded and shipped to Ethiopia and stuffed them into the old factory he rented.

Then, Ning Mo began his "Ning's teaching method". He first taught the students to use various tools and the most basic disassembly and assembly techniques, and then asked them to disassemble and assemble the batch of scrapped machine tools. Ning Mo adopted the practice of completely sheeping, allowing students to figure out the disassembly and assembly method by themselves. Chinese technicians only gave some tips at critical moments.

It can be imagined how chaotic the initial teaching scene was. Facing the mechanical monsters one by one, the students were both excited and timid, screaming, shaking here and there, plucking courage to operate, and every time they removed a screw, they wanted to dance an African dance to celebrate.

As for damaging parts or tools during disassembly and assembly, it is really common. If one or two hundred such things happen a day, it will surprise and uneasy for Ning Mo and other Chinese technicians.

By the way, the black apprentices damaged not only the parts and iron tools on the machine tools, but also the parts and fleshy tools on their own. During that time, Ning Moguang spent thousands of dollars on buying band-aids and gauze.

After surviving the initial turmoil, the school’s teaching work gradually got on track. Some old students found out the way to disassemble and assemble the machine tool. Not only could they do it themselves, but they could also demonstrate it to the new students.

The effect of old students bringing new students is even greater than the effect of master bringing apprentices, because these old students themselves have figured out the cluelessness. They know everything about the mistakes they make and the reasons for their mistakes, and they can be more targeted when guiding them. Sometimes Chinese technicians really can't imagine what kind of imagination these young Africans will develop.

After experiencing the machine tool structure well, the students began to learn machine tool operation under the guidance of Chinese technicians. At this time, for these black young people, the machine tool is no longer a "high-tech" full of mystery, but a big toy they want to vomit, and there is no sense of strangeness or fear when operating it.

The first batch of students graduated after only eight months of study. Ning Mo invited some local machinery factories to watch the students' graduation performances. Seeing these black young people skillfully installing parts blanks, setting various processing parameters on the control panel, and then manipulating the machine tools to process parts that meet the standards, the bosses were shocked and offered dazzling high salaries to compete for the group of graduates.

Of course, the high salary mentioned here is only relative to the local income standards in Ethiopia. After all, the per capita GDP of this country is only 1/10 of that of China.

When the news came out, the gate of the machine tool school was instantly crowded by the applicants.

Ning Mo decided at the beginning of his schooling that he did not seek profit, and the tuition fee was very low. If it weren't for Lai Taotao's reminder, he would even want to give students free of charge directly.

Lai Taotao reminded him that free things will make people not cherish them. If the school is completely free, many people will be indifferent and will not study seriously. Charging some tuition fees appropriately can stimulate enthusiasm for learning.

Ning Mo accepted Lai Taotao's suggestion and determined a symbolic tuition standard, which was much lower than the local technical schools. At the beginning, some people looked down on this school because of the low tuition fees of the school. Now, knowing that real skills can be learned in this school, low tuition fees have become another significant advantage. Especially for local poor children, they regard learning technology at Fatty Machine Tool School as an opportunity to jump into the gantry.

As more people sign up, Ning Mo has the right to be picky. The first admission standard he proposed is that students must have basic Chinese dialogue skills. Under the same conditions, applicants with high Chinese proficiency will be given priority admission.

This selection requirement has also been supported by employers. With the increasing frequency of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, local Chinese-funded enterprises have continued to increase, and non-Chinese-funded enterprises also have many businesses related to China. Chinese has surpassed English in the local area, and various companies also hope that their employees can have a high level of Chinese.
