278: Chapter 278 Lying Down is Impossible! The Competition and Elimination Mechanism of Private Schools!

Chapter 278: Lying Flat is Impossible! The Competitive Elimination Mechanism of Private Schools!

The school's area of three hundred mu is roughly the size of 280 football fields.

Under Principal Chen's guidance, it still took Su Yang some time to finish a general tour of the entire school.

At one in the afternoon, Yanhu Education and the vocational school held a general assembly for all faculty and staff!

Su Yang took his seat at the venue early.

As each faculty member entered, he would perform a brief Investigation on them.

He gained a general understanding of their ability levels and moral standards.

He would make a mental note of the very few teachers whose moral standards were below 50.

In ordinary companies, some departmental positions naturally cannot be filled entirely by moral paragons.

Otherwise, how could black be painted as white?

Otherwise, how could they attack their opponents?

But for the position of a teacher, Su Yang's requirements for them were slightly higher.

If not high... at least they should be at the level of a normal person!

The faculty members were somewhat surprised to see Su Yang sitting in the main seat.

They had heard that Yanhu Vocational School had been sold by Dongcheng to Jufan Holdings.

But they hadn't expected this executive from Jufan Holdings to be so young!

To be honest, the faculty were still somewhat worried about the school being sold!

Despite the high pressure, trivial matters, low salary, and lack of security that came with being a private junior college teacher...

It was already good enough to have a stable job nowadays!

If they had better options, why would they stay here?

Was it because they didn't want to take the civil service exams or apply for permanent establishment?

Of course not!

Many young teachers were actually secretly preparing for the exams!

However, most of them gradually gave up hope due to the heavy workload.

They just wanted to keep their jobs and ensure they had food on the table first!

Besides, could one really "lie flat" even after getting into a public institution?

There were already signs that the permanent establishment for teachers was going to be abolished.

There was no telling when this would spread to higher education institutions.

Su Yang also glanced at the group of teachers; most of them were women!

It wasn't that Su Yang disliked female teachers, but sometimes male teachers were better at maintaining order!

Having too many female teachers in a junior college wasn't necessarily a good thing!

Some unruly students wouldn't respect female teachers, and since some female teachers were more emotional, students could directly make them cry in class...

But there was no helping it; this was a common situation in domestic schools.

Unless one's family was wealthy enough or they just wanted to coast along for a paycheck, being a teacher was okay.

Otherwise, few men were willing to become teachers!

"Who is that? I've never seen him!"

"He's really good-looking!"

"Indeed, he's a real handsome guy. I wonder if he has a girlfriend!"

"He's probably an executive from Jufan Group!"

"To reach a high-level corporate position at such a young age? He must have connections, right?"

"..."

After Su Yang's physical fitness had improved significantly, his hearing and vision had also become very sharp.

He could just barely hear the quiet whispers of some young female teachers.

It felt to him as if some of these young female teachers might not be much better than their students!

When the meeting time arrived, Su Yang began to introduce himself.

When he said he was the chairman of Jufan Holdings, the entire venue erupted in a commotion.

It was Principal Chen Qingzhou who quieted them down.

Next, Su Yang briefly spoke about the investment Jufan Holdings would make in Yanhu Vocational School.

The announcement of that five hundred million investment shocked the faculty and staff quite a bit!

When Su Yang said he would give all faculty and staff a one-thousand-yuan raise, the entire meeting room boiled over with excitement again!

The young teachers were all incredibly happy!

Even the older teachers showed smiles!

Any five hundred million investment was abstract.

An extra thousand yuan in monthly salary was tangible.

At least at this moment, Su Yang won the support of all the employees of Yanhu Education and the vocational school!

This time, Principal Chen originally wanted to call for silence, but Su Yang stopped him.

People!

When you can be happy, you should be as happy as possible!

Five hundred employees, each with a one-thousand-yuan raise, meant an extra five hundred thousand in monthly expenses!

That was only an increase of 6 million in annual expenses!

It wasn't that Su Yang didn't want to give them a bigger raise, it was just that it wasn't necessary.

He could focus his efforts on bonus incentives instead!

What private schools lacked most was official funding and a permanent establishment system to attract and retain talent.

So where did the advantage of private schools lie?

Naturally, it was in their competition and elimination mechanisms.

Wanting to get a permanent position and just coast through life at a junior college?

That was impossible!

Moreover, private schools could offer extremely generous salaries to outstanding talents!

Of course, the investors behind these private schools had to be the type who weren't short of money and were willing to invest heavily!

Coincidentally, Su Yang was exactly that type—not short on cash and willing to invest heavily!

As long as a teacher was excellent enough to cultivate outstanding students, salary would definitely not be an issue!

Once the venue quieted down, Su Yang briefly mentioned his expectations for all the faculty and staff of Yanhu Education before handing the microphone to Principal Chen!

It was better to let Principal Chen talk about strictly grasping teaching quality, discipline, and the school's atmosphere.

Semi-military management was quite complex; it was a systematic management framework.

The school needed to draft a relatively specific implementation plan.

There was no use in Su Yang being impatient; management was a meticulous task!

As for whether strict management would make students feel unfree or lack a university atmosphere...

Su Yang could only say there was no other way!

Semi-military management was the simplest, most direct, and most effective way to see immediate results!

Could he really expect Yanhu Vocational School, which had only existed for five years, to develop the excellent academic atmosphere of a century-old university in a short time?

That would be a joke!

After finishing his work at Yanhu Vocational School, Su Yang took the male executives of Meijia Housekeeping that evening to meet Liu Jianda, the CFO of Dongcheng Real Estate, and the executives of Dongcheng Property.

Both sides reached a preliminary understanding over drinks.

Dongcheng Property would open doors for Meijia and help with some promotion!

Of course, if you use someone else's resources and channels, you have to give what's due!

But these matters would be left for Tu Zhiqiang to discuss with them slowly!

That night, Su Yang footed the bill for all expenses...

Putting the matters of Yanhu Vocational School aside for a moment, Fengyuan's acquisition in Lin City had also made progress.

The local Linxing Ingredients in Lin City was willing to accept a controlling stake from Fengyuan.

Fengyuan's acquisition team also began to follow up.

This was certainly good news for Su Yang.

Linxing Ingredients was quite capable and had relatively stable sales channels in the local area.

It was just that they had experienced several consecutive months of losses due to the overall downturn in the catering industry.

Once Fengyuan's buff was added and Jiuxiang Catering's two brands were established there, they would surely stabilize Linxing's performance!

With Fengyuan bringing out Jiuxiang Catering as their backer and offering a "reasonable" acquisition price, some shareholders planned to sell or reduce their holdings.

At this stage, although Jiuxiang Catering hadn't opened in Lin City yet, it already had a certain reputation in Lin City's catering circles.

After all, communication is convenient nowadays, and the distance between them isn't far!

Once Linxing Ingredients was secured and Nine Fragrance Hotpot and Weimeijia opened there, they would also have a stable supplier!
