C5 Training Students to Test Their Patience
"Cui, you old thing, you're still bargaining with me?" Zhao Cheng's words amused Cui Jin.
"I might not know how to bargain with others, but I have to bargain with you. " Cui Jin said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "After all, following the policy closely will allow you to understand the direction of the school's development, right?"
"In the end, you're not doing this for my cigarettes. You're doing this for your source of income, right? " Zhao Cheng pointed at Cui Jin, "You old fox's personality hasn't changed at all. You have to take all the advantages. "
"Our small temple isn't a big temple like Beijing or Shanghai. It can't withstand the wind and waves. We have to hammer our heads and hammer our foundations before we can become an evergreen vine. Besides, With more sources of life, there would be more talents. Isn't it also a help to you? " Cui Jin flicked the ashes in his hand, waiting for Zhao Cheng to explain what the policy was like this time.
"Heh. . . You're quite the one with your words. " The more Zhao Cheng smiled, the happier he became. "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you. "
"I am willing to hear about it in detail. " Cui Jin looked straight into Zhao Cheng's eyes. He was waiting for the good news of the railway people's rise.
"You know the movie from three years ago, right?" Zhao Cheng said meaningfully, "It's the old Buddha. The foreigners came to repair the railway for us, The Last Emperor. "
"I know. " A light flashed in Cui Jin's eyes. Could it be that this movie had touched the leaders of Shanghai's railway station? But what kind of feeling would it be?
"A hundred years of humiliation requires a long-term plan to get rid of the predicament of falling behind. This plan is the Talent Plan. " Zhao Cheng handed his letter of introduction to Cui Jin.
Cui Jin opened the letter and smiled, "Tsk. . . It's Old Zhao after all. Even Shanghai's railway department gave you the Shangfang Sword. . . But what is the point of this plan?"
"Train construction. "
Zhao Cheng's words made Cui Jin's eyes light up. It was a kind of light that was unique to railway people. It was a kind of hope to see the light of dawn.
"Train construction?"
Cui Jin was born in 1940 and was five years older than Zhao Cheng. In his memory, there was the decline of the Republic's railway and the rise of the new China railway. However, in his memory, there was only the pride of the railway people in China. That was the pride of washing away the humiliation of being built by foreigners a hundred years ago!
Until now, the railway people had not built a train independently.
The incomplete and weak heavy industry made the railway people collaborate with foreigners to build the train. If it was not domestic, it would not feel good if it was not the railway people.
But this time, the short words Zhao City had made Cui Jin look happy and hopeful.
"Yes, the train was built. The plan that Old Zhang gave me wrote on how to complete the construction of the train alone in twenty years. It is purely domestic and does not have the shadow of a joint venture between China and foreign countries. " Zhao Cheng's words were like stones smashing into the lake, creating layers of ripples.
"We built the train alone in twenty years? This was something that I didn't even dare to think about in the past. " Cui Jin sighed with emotion.
"Yeah, in the past, I really didn't dare to think about it. But we have to have the courage to do it in order to have a chance to realize the plan, right? " Zhao Cheng's words made Cui Jin nod in agreement.
"In order to complete this twenty year plan, we will need two generations of people to receive and escort us. It seems like the railway department has given us quite a heavy task. " Cui Jin's smile widened, "But if we can complete this plan. . . It would be a magnificent feat. If it really comes to the day when we build the train independently, Old Zhao, you won't be able to return until you're drunk with me. "
"That's for sure. However, when the time comes, I will need you, an old man, to personally bring the good wine that you have hidden in the cellar. I will bring the dishes. "
"If that day really comes, I'll take out the ancient well tribute that my father left for me"
"Then I'm really looking forward to it" Zhao Cheng never thought that in less than 20 years, this pair of old brothers would drink that bottle of wine.
"But. . . Speaking of which, what kind of students does our school need to provide for this plan?" Cui Jin asked curiously.
"First of all, this student must be patient and be able to calmly and attentively do one thing. It has the characteristics of an old craftsman. " Zhao Cheng's first request made Cui Jin frown.
"The young people of this era have needles under their butts. They are running around everywhere and do not have a calm mind. It's a bit difficult. . . " When Cui Jin thought about how to make an eighteen or nineteen year old child sit down and calm down, he immediately felt that this matter was a bit difficult.
"If you want to catch up to foreign train construction technology within 20 years, you need to put in hard work and be willing to study it. " Cui Jin had no way to refute Zhao Cheng's words.
"No wonder you asked me to work and study hard. Although they're poor, they have obsession with studying and are willing to put in effort and focus on their work. " In an instant, Cui Jin understood why Zhao Cheng chose to work and study hard.
"The task is heavy. Naturally, I need to find children with potential to learn. " Zhao Cheng looked curiously at Cui Jin. "By the way, how many students in your school are like this?"
"About five or six. . . I'll arrange for them to come over tomorrow. You can take a look at them. " Cui Jin immediately promised.
"Five or six. . . Looks like you have quite a few treasures here. " Zhao Cheng teased.
"How can my students be bad?" Cui Jin proudly raised his chin.
"Yes, yes, yes. Back then, you were the model of the entire country's railway. How could you teach a bad student? Right, Prepare a chessboard tomorrow. I want to test their determination. " Zhao Cheng instructed.
"Don't worry. "
A few days later, Zhao Cheng and Cui Jin were playing chess in the principal's office. Next to them stood four or five students who worked part-time. One of them was Su Jianguo.
These students were all sitting in the principal's office's stool. In front of them was a green train model. Cui Jin gave the students an exam question, asking them to find the problem with the train model.
When Su Jianguo saw the person who came up with the question, he was stunned on the spot. He quickly stood up and bowed to Zhao Cheng, "Old mister. . . "
"Old mister?!" Cui Jin looked at Zhao Cheng doubtfully.
Zhao Cheng looked at Su Jianguo for a long time before he remembered where he had seen this young man before.
"Oh. . . I once met this young man in the plaza. . . Once. " Zhao Cheng explained as if he was lightly touching the water.
"Old mister, I'm really sorry about that time. . . I didn't expect to see you here again. . . " Su Jianguo wanted to continue explaining but was interrupted by Zhao Cheng.
"Young man, since we are men, it means that fate is more important than anything else. Therefore, there are some things that need not be mentioned. Sit down and see if you can solve the problem. "
"Okay, old man. " Su Jianguo listened to Zhao Cheng's instructions and returned to his seat. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, this old man wasn't angry with him. One must know that it was very rare for him to be selected by the school to participate in the exam. He didn't want to give up any opportunity to rise.
Zhao Cheng went to the room next door and sat opposite of Cui Jin. Cui Jin said in a low voice, "Old Zhao, what medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
"You didn't notice?" Zhao Cheng put down a "horse" with a smile.
"I really didn't see it. . . This model doesn't look like a defective product. " Cui Jin replied in a low voice.
"It really isn't a defective product. " Zhao Cheng nodded in agreement.
"Since it is not a defective product, why do you want the children to look at the problem with the model?" Cui Jin asked doubtfully.
"But there is indeed a problem with the train. Don't forget the sixth nationwide increase in speed. . . " Zhao Cheng lowered his head and said in a low voice as he approached Cui Jin.
"Ah. . . I understand. . . You crafty old man. . . " Cui Jin nodded in realization and pointed at Zhao Cheng.
"If you don't fall off the diamond, how can you choose a good student?" Zhao Cheng smiled proudly.
"What you say makes sense. But why do I not like to hear it?" Cui Jin chuckled.
"In any case, I like to say it. " Zhao Cheng looked like an old child. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
As for Su Jianguo, who was in the next room, he was flipping through the books in his hands. Just like the other four students, he was trying to find the problem with this train model.
Although he had only studied in the technical school for half a year, he had already finished reading the textbooks for a year. With a certain amount of basic knowledge, he could still see some problems with the train.
But this time, Su Jianguo kept looking at the train model in his hand. Why was this model made of iron and made so exquisitely? Such an exquisite model, how could it be a defective product?
Su Jianguo opened the door of the train. The structure of the model was exactly the same as the real train. The components inside were proportionate to each other.
Looking at the components inside the train, Su Jianguo counted the components while recording.
Just like that, he only recorded the basic information of the train, but he got nothing.
When the time was up, the students left, leaving only Zhao Cheng and Cui Jin behind.
"Old Zhao, these children are not bad, right?" Cui Jin smiled proudly.
"Indeed, they have some willpower, but to persevere. . . I still need to take a look. " Zhao Cheng tilted his head and looked at Cui Jin. "Besides, that question can't be answered in a short period of time. I need to learn more. "
"That's true. It's just that these children might not be able to understand the meaning of your question. " Cui Jin sighed with emotion, "After all, there aren't many children who understand politics and news. "
"Just because there aren't many doesn't mean there aren't any. Let's wait and see. "
"Okay. "
A week later, Su Jianguo drew the model of the train on a piece of paper. While he was drawing, he was thinking about the basic parameters of the train. At this time, his roommate walked in quickly and said excitedly, "Hey, my brother came back from Japan. This is the snack he gave me. Here, I'll give you guys a taste. "
"This snack is rare. . . Eh. . . What is this?"
"This is Japanese, I don't understand. . . It looks like a train ticket. "
Train ticket?!
Su Jianguo raised his head and looked at his roommate, Wang Song. "Train ticket?"
"Little Su, you get excited when you hear the word train. Here. . . Open your eyes. This is the train ticket for Xin Gan Line. " Wang Song handed the train ticket to Su Jianguo.
"Xin Gan Line. . . I heard that Deng Xiaoping's grandfather once took this train as well. He said that this train is very fast. "
"Ah. . . Xin Gan Line. . . Come, come, let me see. . . "
For a moment, a small train ticket passed through the dormitory.
Su Jianguo looked at his roommates' happy expressions. It was as if a new world had opened up in his mind. A ray of light shone into his clueless mind.
That's right. New dry line. . . The exterior design of this train was extremely similar to the new dry line. Some parts and designs were even exactly the same as the new dry line. However, the power of this train was extremely different from the new dry line!
Could it be a power system?
Su Jianguo's eyes widened. He hurriedly picked up a pen and looked for the configuration of the power system on the paper.
"Little Su. . . What are you stunned for?"
"Him, drawing the same train from day to night. . . I wonder what he is doing. . . "
"Lil' Su, I'm going to fetch water. Do you need my help?"
"He's in meditation again. Let's go and help him fetch water. "
"Our Xiao Su likes to enter meditation in an instant. As long as you get used to it, it's fine. "
