Since the two sides are old acquaintances, Yang Xing obviously wants to make friends with Guan Ziping, so the atmosphere is very harmonious when talking. Yang Xing didn't say much polite words. Guan Ziping talked to him about hoping that Zhongxing's investment in Shanghai will be better and better. He immediately took out several letters of intent for major projects to let Guan Ziping take a look.

The first of them is the Shanghai Yangshan Port Terminal, which Yang Xing had promised the former mayor to participate in the construction. Although the former mayor lost power and was imprisoned, Guan Ziping still hopes that Yang Xing can continue to cooperate. Because once Yangshan Port is completed, it will significantly double the throughput capacity of Shanghai, which is crucial for Shanghai to enter the world shipping center and enter the international metropolis. Moreover, the first and second phases of Yangshan Port and the supporting area have been completed, which is also very attractive to Zhongxing Group, which is involved in the construction. Of course, he hopes that Yang Xing will not give up halfway.

In addition, if Yang Xing wants to get rid of the Cold War between Zhongxing and Shanghai, he hopes to focus on developing several iconic projects in Shanghai like Hong Kong. Yang Xing knows that he will not like ordinary gifts like this person who is about to enter the central leadership. If he wants to win his favor, the most direct and best way is to add luster to his political achievements when he was in power in Shanghai.

At the beginning, he and his former mayor were using Yangshan Port as bait to stabilize each other. Now that he wanted to curry favor with others, Guan Ziping, of course, he could not only use Yangshan Port as a big gift package, but he used all his strength to prepare several big gift lists for Guan Ziping. The first gift list was proposed that Shanghai is now the headquarters of the Greater China Region of Zhongxing Group, but the recent Oriental Star City has become the last of the nine major star cities in scale. Even the later Northeast Star City and Hainan Star City are not as good as Shanghai's reputation as the Chinese economic center. He hopes that the Shanghai government can provide locations and he guarantees that the scale of Oriental Star City can be expanded ten times!

The construction of Oriental Star City has to be discussed with the Shanghai Municipal Government before it can be decided. However, the core of this first gift list is most unexpected by Guan Ziping. Yang Xing pointed out that it is not difficult to expand the industrial base, but the difficulty lies in how to attract high-tech manufacturing talents. So he proposed that Zhongxing is willing to assist Shanghai in building nests and attracting phoenixes. Long-term investment in the construction of the Shanghai vocational education system and cultivate more senior technicians and engineers.

As a national economic center, Shanghai was once a manufacturing center. Before the reform and opening up, many light and heavy industrial brands in Shanghai once ranked first in China. Zhongxing acquired famous light industrial brands in Shanghai, including Phoenix Bicycle, Chinese Toothpaste, etc., are all time-honored brands of famous national brands and can be the foundation stone of Zhongxing's brand. Even now, Shanghai's industrial manufacturing capabilities are still among the best. Although Yang Xing's place of making his fortune, Jiudu is now leading the manufacturing trend in the central and western regions, it is still inconsistent with Shanghai.

Even Xingchen Manufacturing, as the leader in high-end manufacturing in China, is one step ahead of its domestic peers, but compared with its foreign competitors, there are still many courses to make up. This involves the gap between high-end manufacturing talents. Western manufacturing powers such as Britain, Germany, the United States, and Japan have hundreds of years of industrial history, and have a deep technical accumulation. Russia has learned from the former Soviet Union and South Korea has secretly studied in Japan, and has also opened up a field of expertise in the manufacturing industry. In contrast, in China, China studied in the Soviet Union in the first thirty years, and turned to Japan, the United States and the West in the past twenty years, even though it was very hard. It has certain manpower and scale advantages in low-end manufacturing. However, in high-end and precision manufacturing, the gap is still very large.

Moreover, with the reform of the domestic higher education system, the expansion of university enrollment has seriously occupied the resources of the vocational education system established to cultivate professional and technical talents. Many college students are not diligent in the four bodies, have poor hands-on skills, and are arrogant. Many times, they would rather go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to become an ant tribe than to work on the front line of production. This has resulted in a shortage of domestic senior technicians and professional engineers. The gap with foreign high-end manufacturing industries has not only not narrowed, but also has a trend of expansion.

When Yang Xing was in Zhongyuan, he suggested that Starry Sky manpower investment be made to build a number of highly professional high-level vocational education schools across the province. Now, a few years have passed, and the results are quite significant. In recent years, the number of migrant workers in Zhongyuan Province has decreased year by year, decreasing by about 10%. New enterprises in the province have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Many people have entered nearby cities and factories after learning and training. This not only absorbs a large amount of labor, but also improves the manufacturing strength of Zhongyuan Province. It also has a large number of technical backbones, creating excellent social and economic benefits, forming a virtuous cycle, which has made great contributions to the cultivation of technical talents.

Starry Sky Human Resources has also promoted a large number of suitable talents to enter key positions in the group. The strength of Zhongxing's manufacturing companies has naturally increased, providing useful reference for peer companies. Many powerful companies have also begun to join forces with local governments to cultivate counterparts. Even if their strength is not enough, many companies have joined forces to hire education companies like Starry Sky Human Resources to train on behalf of others, which has become a new human resources management model.

The reason why the vocational education reform in Zhongyuan Province has become popular is an unexpected advantage. Because the province has a large population and lacks well-known universities. Many candidates in this province originally had only one-plank bridge for further studies, the college entrance examination, and if they want to go to a good university, they also need to register across provinces, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Now higher vocational education schools are shorter than university semesters and can find a job after graduation. Moreover, the educational institutions of Zhongyuan Province recognize higher vocational education qualifications. Even if they participate in work, they can still participate in university studies. This has made many Central China students excited. In recent years, the source of vocational education students in Zhongyuan Province not only meets the needs of the province, but also develops to several surrounding provinces. The students of several schools that Zhongxingkong Manpower focus on cultivating high professional skills and rich practical experience. After graduation, they can quickly start work. Many of them have become technical backbones and are talents that many companies compete for. The signboard of vocational education in Zhongyuan Province has also been launched nationwide and has been commended by the central government, requiring summary of experience to be promoted nationwide.

Shanghai also secretly envies the reform of higher vocational education in the Central Plains. Compared with the lack of famous schools in the Central Plains, the number of famous schools in Shanghai has become a disadvantage. Since locals can easily go to famous schools, they are naturally bored to sweat on the front line of production like their parents. Now many factories in Shanghai are talented personnel from other parts of the country as the main production force, so they have a strong idea of ​​strengthening their vocational education system and cultivating local professional talents.

Yang Xing proposed to copy the successful model of Zhongyuan in Shanghai and establish a chain of higher vocational education institutions. In particular, Zhongxing will build a university with its own middle and senior management training - Zhongxing University. Zhongxing University is not located in Hong Kong where the group's headquarters is located, but is located in Shanghai. It will also serve as a representative of Shanghai's higher vocational education chain institutions. This alone shows that Zhongxing is rooted in Shanghai.

In Yang Xing's words, Zhongxing University is not an ordinary university. It is similar to McDonald's Hamburg University. It is only open to internal employees. It is mainly used to train middle and senior management personnel, provide systematic business management and leadership development training, and ensure that Zhongxing adheres to unified standards in operation management, service management, product quality and cleanliness. This is also a point that Welch has always emphasized since taking over Zhongxing.

Internal employee training is a core problem that almost all major multinational companies have to face. Especially after many acquisitions, the company's employees come from all over the world, and even daily language communication is a problem. How can we form cohesion and accept a common corporate culture? Zhongxing has been working hard to explore this aspect, from "all directions are destroyed" to govern inaction on the surface, and in fact, they divide labor and restrict each other. Until now, Welch proposed to formulate standards, unify standards and implement standards. After Yang Xing's stock market turmoil and privatization, he finally decided to take the path of centralization.

At the same time, as the scale of the enterprise expands, the demand for managers of enterprises and stores stationed around the world is increasing, and talent reserves and training must be prepared for this. The previous simple employee training classes could no longer meet the requirements, so the headquarters considered establishing its own corporate university. Since it was its own corporate university, with Yang Xing's emphasis on talents and his habit of always investing heavily, he immediately took out $2 billion and planned to build five Zhongxing universities around the world, the first one being located in Shanghai.

Guan Ziping was very moved by the $400 million China Star University with a commitment to invest no less than $100 million in higher vocational education funds in the future. Yang Xing's emphasis on higher vocational education made Guan Ziping very moved. You should know that in 2006, Shanghai's education budget was only more than 15 billion yuan, and Yang Xing's investment was more than 4 billion yuan, which was equivalent to one-quarter of the city's education funding fund. It is really a timely help.

In addition to investing in Shanghai's higher vocational education, Yang Xing is also willing to contribute to the establishment of a new urban image in Shanghai, that is, next to the Oriental Star Building, to assist Shanghai in building a tallest building in the country - the Shanghai Central Building. The Shanghai Central Building is the long-cherished wish of the Shanghai Municipal Government for many years. When Shanghai Pudong was just developed, the city left a place in the Lujiazui Financial Center in the core area to build several skyscrapers as new landmarks in Shanghai to raise the Shanghai city skyline, which makes outsiders amazed. This is the current Shanghai Jinmao Building, the Oriental Star Building and the Shanghai Central Building under construction.
