Chapter 862: The Source

Focusing on education issues in Southeast Asia and helping countries with backward education in Southeast Asia to build an education system is a very important foreign strategy of Huaxia in Southeast Asia in the next few years.

So when Meng Qian was talking about education in Southeast Asia, he happened to find that people from the Huaxia Ministry of Education were also here. It was indeed an accidental encounter, and they got together for a meal.

That night, Meng Qian met with representatives of the Huaxia Ministry of Education who were visiting Southeast Asia.

"I just found out this afternoon that Mr. Meng is also in Thailand." Li Ke, who led the team from the Ministry of Education, found it surprising and interesting.

"I was in Singapore a few days ago, so I stopped by Southeast Asia." Meng Qian and Li Ke shook hands with each other and went to the dinner table together. "What is the main job of everyone coming to Southeast Asia this time?"

"The United States has never paid much attention to the education issue in the Southeast Asian market. Mr. Meng should know."

"Of course, this year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also published a long article criticizing the low educational influence of the United States in Southeast Asia, but at least so far we haven't seen any changes."

"Mr. Meng thinks why?"

"It's actually very simple. The development of Southeast Asia in the early years was really not very good. Later, when the momentum of development gradually emerged, the United States had already started a shrinking strategy. Naturally, it would not spend too much energy on these countries in Southeast Asia. For them to seize Singapore is fine.

Although the United States is not pursuing a contraction strategy, it can follow a United States-first strategy, which looks down on Southeast Asia even more than the contraction strategy.

Coupled with the natural attributes of the geographical location, it is much more convenient for us to come to Southeast Asia, whether it is our Huaxia or the Neon Kingdom and Korea Kingdom next door. "

"So, Mr. Meng thinks that the United States will not invest too much in this place in the next few years?"

"Not really." Meng Qian gave a relatively positive answer.

The leaders glanced at each other subtly, "Is it convenient for Mr. Meng to talk about his views on Korea and Neon?"

"Koryo State and Neon State have relatively deep education penetration in Southeast Asia, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are mainly dominated by enterprises. In contrast, Neon State is a little bit better, and there are many cooperations from the government. Projects, but generally speaking, are still enterprise-led.

However, the enterprise-led education penetration has a natural limitation. "

"Oh? What limitations?"

Meng Qian couldn't help laughing, "A company, after all, isn't it just to attract talents to create value for itself."

The representatives looked at each other subtly, "So in Mr. Meng's view, the significance of education radiation is far more than just attracting talents."

Meng Qian spread his hands, "The leaders are like a mirror in their hearts, so why bother to ask me such a question."

"Everyone's perspective is different, and it's always easy to come up with some different opinions. Besides, didn't Mr. Meng often say that the government should cooperate more with private enterprises, and more cooperation should be done in various fields in order to maximize value?"

Meng Qian couldn't help laughing, "Leaders can still speak, so I'll talk about my humble opinion first. The first purpose of education radiation is of course for talents, and the further purpose is to become the source.

The most immediate attraction to being Source is naturally knowledge.

Just like everyone knows that American and British universities have better teaching resources and better teachers, so everyone wants to study there.

And there naturally became the source of knowledge, and most of the world's top talents learned knowledge there.

However, this source often spreads not only knowledge, but also consciousness. Many Chinese people have never gone to school in the United States, but everyone seems to know what American universities are like.

When talking about American University, everyone feels that it is free, respects individuality, and advocates practice.

This is the awareness of the source of knowledge. People who have never been there will have some awareness, not to mention students who come out of it, they will often have a general awareness, a consciousness that comes from the same source.

Therefore, the key to educational radiation is to find a way to become the source. When the world recognizes you as the source, everyone will unconsciously approach this source, because everyone wants to fetch water, but in the end, the world only takes away water. , then not necessarily.

Moreover, when people go to fetch water, there are often some thresholds, such as the need to charge tickets, such as the need to bring a good container, and for example, you have to use our local dialect to communicate with us. Simply put, you have to read in English Literature, you are not allowed to learn English, if you want to read Chinese literature, you are not allowed to learn Chinese?

But let me say something very realistic. It is still difficult for China's education to become the source of the world, but what is interesting is that the recognized source is a bit circled, and although we cannot become the absolute source purely by knowledge, we can We can rely on other things, such as lowering the threshold for water intake, such as helping others build pipelines to bring our water directly to their doorsteps, so that they don't have to go to the mountains to fetch water, and so on.

In this way, although the water in our place may not be as good as that in other people's homes for the time being, we have provided them with enough convenience. "

Li Ke kept nodding when listening to Meng Qian's interpretation, "Mr. Meng is right, and this is something we are considering."

"So what are you going to do now?"

"We are going to help them build schools first, and then they improve the education system. Southeast Asians understand that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Things you don't want to do.

As for the United States, it is even less willing to do this for Southeast Asian countries. "

"Looking at everyone's expressions, the negotiation should be going well? Speaking of which, I heard that our Huaxia education model has been scolded to death in China, but it is quite popular in some foreign places. This is a siege."

Li Ke and the others smiled and did not answer the words, "The negotiation went relatively smoothly."

Meng Qian touched his chin habitually, "Then we may have a chance to cooperate."

"Come and listen to Mr. Meng."

"I'm here this time to talk about education, but again, I'm an enterprise, and the education I'm talking about must be talent-oriented, so I put forward a suggestion to assist them in building a vocational education and training system.

I was thinking that if my plan is accepted by Southeast Asian countries, we will quickly cultivate a group of practical talents here in the next few years.

So my next plan is to

Li Ke understood what Meng Qian meant, "Increase investment."

Meng Qian nodded, "That's right, increase investment and increase project introduction. Southeast Asia is indeed an area that I care more about in the future. After all, the demographic dividend is here.

So in order to better promote the development of things, I just want to convey a concept to Southeast Asian countries. We will indeed take away, or even take away a large number of their talents, but at the same time, we will indeed help them cultivate more talents. .

If their talent output was originally 10, we took 3, and now we took 10, but their talent output has become 20, I want them to figure it out.

And when I communicated with them, I also hinted at one thing. We will never suppress their talents. Their talents want to return to China to serve the motherland. We will never set up any obstacles. Of course, except for legitimate competition protocol. "

"Mr. Meng's idea is beneficial to Southeast Asian countries, and it is also beneficial to us." Li Ke's expression seemed very approved.

"This is actually a manifestation of the new globalization I have been talking about in education, but education is the foundation of a country, and there is still little we can do on the enterprise side. If we can cooperate with our own government to promote this matter together, then It should go more smoothly."

"Mr. Meng thinks how cooperation would be more reasonable?"

"One Belt, One Road." Meng Qian blurted out, "We have gone from the Internet + in the early years to the current Cloud Zhilian +. In fact, the Belt and Road is now in a + state, the Belt and Road + finance, the Belt and Road + trade, the Belt and Road + infrastructure, this time , can be regarded as the Belt and Road + education.

And on the main axis of the Belt and Road Initiative, our Dafeng Group can naturally use it as a tool to match the interface. "

Li Ke laughed loudly, "Boss Meng has already thought about this."

"It's really a coincidence this time. I didn't think so much before." Meng Qian shrugged and smiled, "I can only say that everyone thinks about going together."

Meng Qian was chatting with people from the domestic Ministry of Education, and the entire delegation from Thailand was also discussing.

"We must pay attention to the educational influence of Dafeng Group and Huaxia Future in our place. What if all our talents become Huaxia's in the end?"

"Let me say something that is not very nice. In fact, what everyone is worried about is our brain drain, but as a country with a backward level of education, this is something that must be experienced. Just like China and India, a populous country. How many talents have been trained for other countries, and what can we do?

Everyone has come here like this, if we can't even accept this problem, how can we develop? "

"Actually, if everyone abides by global thinking, it's okay to cultivate talents for a powerful country. After all, all human beings will be rewarded in the end. It's just that some countries are unwilling to accept global thinking, which disrupts many things.

The United States has always claimed to be open and inclusive, and American education is one of the most important attractions under the US immigration system. However, it turned out like this. Who can guarantee what will happen in the future. "

"But Dafeng Group and Huaxia have always been staunch supporters of globalization, and their reputation on globalization has stood the test of time."

In fact, the struggle is the problem of brain drain, and at the end of this discussion, Thailand came to a conclusion:

Generally speaking, China's plan is more realistic than that of the Neon Country, and more ambitious than that of the United States.
