The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Gotham University's faculty canteen has a very old history and was the first building built in the university.

It still uses the ordering system of traditional club restaurants. When Schiller entered the door, he turned around and shook the water droplets on the umbrella outside the door. Victor stepped aside and said, Fortunately, there is you, who I can imagine that halfway there, it actually rained.

Gotham is like this. If you don't carry an umbrella with you, you have to be prepared to be drenched.

He shook the black umbrella, put it in, tied it up and placed it on the umbrella stand by the door. When Schiller entered, the heat in the room made his glasses foggy, so he simply Take off the glasses.

Victor looked back at the umbrella and said, Where did you buy this umbrella? The quality looks good, so I'll buy one too.

Do you know Green Street? It's the east side, a street next to the living hell, and there's an umbrella maker in the back alley there.

God, you are too old-fashioned, what time is this, you still go to the umbrella maker who makes umbrellas by hand?

You also said that this umbrella looks of good quality.

While chatting, the two found a round table by the window and sat down. After a while, a waiter came to order. Victor said, I'm really not used to it, and the restaurant at Gotham University is too big. It’s retro, when I was in California, the restaurants there had windows.”

On the contrary, I don't like the window system, the greasy bacon is all piled up, and the slices of bread are not evenly cut...

Schiller took the menu, looked at it and said, Recently, you seem to be busy again. Is there anything going on at the Academy of Sciences?

Don't mention it soon. Victor took the menu from Schiller, pointed it to the waiter, sighed, and said, I'm so busy, isn't it all thanks to you?

But I heard that the recent cold chain project is coming to an end, and you should be free.

Victor showed a helpless expression, and he said, You don't know? Those gang bosses are short of people and crazy recently!

They especially lack people with management skills. Almost all the people who can manage in Gotham City are in Gotham University. The gangsters come to borrow people, and the principal can only agree.

But how many faculty members are there at Gotham University? I'm afraid the gangs lack jobs far more than they can borrow?

That's the problem. Victor tapped the table with his fingers, and then said, They can't borrow that many people, but without managers, the whole management will be in chaos, so they can only go to Principal Seldon again. Let's talk about...

At this time, the food ordered had just been served, and Schiller asked while cutting the steak: What do they want?

As you'd expect, they want to open schools.

Victor took the wine in front of him and took a sip. The cold liquid made him tsk his lips, and he said: There are only three high schools in Gotham, and the enrollment rate is less than 10%. Most of them will study honestly. People who don’t want to go to Gotham University, let alone stay in this city.”

They want to start their own schools, which are private schools, and teach them what they need.

I remember there should be a private school in Gotham? Schiller thought for a moment and said, Where is it? It should be the south side? There are two private boarding schools...

As you said, it's in the south. It's a school in the rich area. It's where rich people take care of their children. The things taught there are useless. Musical instruments, painting, hockey, you expect gangsters to use this knowledge to manage their businesses. ?”

So what they're trying to do is a vocational high school? Schiller said, turning a scrambled egg with a fork.

It can't be called a middle school. Victor swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and continued: It can only be called a vocational school. Anyone can go to it, but gangsters should choose their own. A group of people will go in, mainly to train the management team.”

To be honest, they are a bit outrageous, Victor complained: They asked me to repair the low-temperature warehouse for them, but after asking all the warehouse managers, none of them could understand the reading table, even the most basic I can't understand the readings, how do they manage the warehouse?

So the mob bosses are going to train their own people on this?

That's right, besides, they can't find a teacher yet, so they can only come to Gotham University to borrow someone. Victor shrugged and said, I just hope I'm not the one who was borrowed, but I guess the one on the list There must be me.

Should you be able to choose not to go? Schiller put down the knife and fork, took a sip of water, and continued, Seldon can't tie you there.

That's what I said, but in Gotham, more than a dozen gangsters jointly invited you, do you dare to go?

It seems that you have a good understanding of the ecosystem here. Schiller said with a smile: Welcome to Gotham, welcome to this big stage.

And the price they offered is very good, several times my salary.

Are you still short of money? Didn't you accept the entrustment of the Twelve Family to maintain and operate their cold chain industry? Then the salary should be enough, right?

But no one thinks they have a lot of money. Victor said very bluntly: Operation work won't take long, and the daily teaching at Gotham University...you know, it's basically equivalent to nothing. If they start The price offered is right, and it’s not that I can’t become a part-time teacher.”

It's also convenient for me to teach them to read the reading table. If they can maintain the warehouse by themselves, I don't have to run back and forth.

Schiller nodded. Victor made sense. He estimated that most of the teachers who agreed to teach part-time in vocational schools thought so too.

The professors more or less took jobs from the gangsters. When they took over the jobs, the rewards offered by the gangsters were very tempting, but when they arrived at the scene, most of them were dumbfounded. The gangsters in Gotham, guns and The weapons are pretty smooth, but when you encounter such technical problems, they are all for nothing.

The reading meter is not easy to read, and it is not easy to use a slightly more complicated switch. If a professional word exceeds 5 letters, you have to look it up in the dictionary. Ask the whole team, and there are few who can explain the entire operation process. .

In essence, because the gangster industry in Gotham is too mature, most people are doomed to live by simple and crude methods from birth, and do not think about learning any skills. When the industry starts to upgrade, this Many people in the city suddenly discovered that the role of guns has become less and the role of knowledge has become greater.

However, their thinking has formed a qualitative, and they have missed the best learning stage. Most people don't understand these, and they are unwilling to learn those complicated technical issues.

However, the rise of the logistics industry has led to drastic changes in personnel requirements.

Originally, if it was the job of collecting protection fees, the little boss didn't need to know anything more than the thugs under him. It might just be that he was old enough to collect protection fees, as long as he could count the money clearly.

But it is no longer possible. The general manager of a warehouse must know all aspects, at least read the reading table, pay attention to temperature readings and product status, and other people below must also pay attention to the entry and exit of goods. Condition.

Originally, it was possible to hire professional people to do these professional tasks, but everyone knows Gotham's reputation, people with no brains will not come here to die, and gangsters can't hire a few professionals even if they spend a lot of money. Financially, they can only fight on their own.

They don't have enough professional knowledge, and they don't want to learn, but there is a shortage of management talents everywhere, and they can't hire outsiders. The gang boss has only one choice, and that is to hold training courses.

And because the teachers at Gotham University more or less took private jobs from the gangsters, the bosses of the gangsters successfully contacted them, offered high prices, and hired them to be teachers in private schools.

Just like what Victor thought, many professors found out what the gangsters were doing when they were working. Can take it easy.

Of course, originally, this Schiller had nothing to do with him. He is a professor of psychology. Those gangsters may need physics teachers, chemistry teachers, math teachers, and maybe even Chinese teachers, but they don’t need psychology teachers alone. The people of Gotham have nothing else but to think about it.

But the bad thing is the celebrity effect.

Before that, Falcone opened a small private lecture hall in his own estate and invited Schiller to give lectures to his family children.

Schiller mainly talked about some basic knowledge such as industrial models, but the gangsters in Gotham have always followed Falcone’s lead. Even the old godfather invited Schiller, so you don’t hire him if you start your own school, isn’t it? Is it obvious that the old godfather has no vision?

So, one afternoon in Gotham, Schiller received invitations jointly signed by more than a dozen big gangsters.

The invitation letter did not directly state the purpose, but only said to invite Schiller to visit their new vocational school, but Schiller estimated that when he arrived, he would not want to leave, and he would have to be an honorary professor to some extent.

Schiller agrees with the gangsters' active establishment of schools. After all, if Gotham University wants to enter the Ivy League, it is necessary to improve the academic atmosphere of the entire Gotham City. In addition to building more high-end research institutes, it is necessary to establish a complete A talent training system is also necessary.

Formal elementary and middle schools Wayne Group is already doing it, but it won't be effective for a while. Now gangs are spontaneously engaging in vocational education, which is actually a good way out, and it is very suitable for the current situation of Gotham City.

In Gotham, where basic education is lacking, the operation of the city basically relies on empiricism. The gangsters are family-run, passed down from generation to generation, and the previous generation is taught by hand.

This model may have been okay before, but it will be worse now. It is foreseeable that with the introduction of new industries and the gradual upgrading of existing industries, this kind of vocational education will become more prosperous in Gotham and continue until the Until the results of basic education appear.

As a professor, Schiller doesn't mind being a pushover in the process, so he accepted the invitation and plans to go this weekend to see if Gotham's gangsters can turn this What will the vocational education school be like?
