I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 32 The old man asks you a favor
Of all the subjects, the Chinese language training group has the highest internal training progress. Han Tieguai is now the head of the Chinese language training group, which would be equivalent to a leader in Chinese language teaching if he were in a school.

Team leader positions are calculated based on job level, which translates to higher income based on ability, as well as more miscellaneous subsidies such as meal allowance and transportation allowance.

The team leader receives both a car allowance and a meal allowance, and earns 800 yuan a month, which is more than Han Tieguai's previous salary in Jianggao.

The internal training instructor is Zhang Da'an himself. Others are not yet able to conduct training. Teachers with experience in extracurricular tutoring and private tutoring can play a role on a small scale in this era, but Zhang Da'an's large-scale approach is like the difference between small-scale pig farming and a pig farm with tens of thousands of pigs.

Anything that can be scaled up must have a formula, a set of rules, or a set of methods.

All internal training courses have been collected and archived, and are considered internal materials of "Zhang An Education". Teachers cannot copy or take them out at will, and they can only borrow them within Xindongweigang Middle School.

The first training session, which lasted fifteen days, concluded successfully, and the first round of interviews was also completed smoothly.

The second round of interviews will also include a second round of intensive training.

The recruitment of students retaking the college entrance examination in August is also underway. The employees are exhausted, but seeing their boss still working non-stop, they can only admire him.

"The principal is practically made of iron."

"Ah, that's right. The boss's nickname used to be 'Comrade Iron,' meaning he not only had a body of steel but also a voice of iron. You guys didn't come to see him last year; if you had, you would have known just how exaggerated the boss is..."

Having officially obtained the "Zhang An Certification" trainer qualification, Zhao Yiwan quickly explained to his new colleagues the terrifying power of their boss.

When Han Tieguai, a seasoned teacher with over twenty years of experience, heard that Zhang Da'an had taught all the classes by himself last year, he was dumbfounded: "How is that possible? One hundred and fifty students, that's equivalent to three classes. He managed to teach them all by himself? That's impossible, right? And he was doing large and small classes simultaneously, doing the work of several people by himself?"

"About twenty."

"..."

"..."

The newcomers in the teaching group stared wide-eyed. Only those who had taken the class knew how incredible this was. Ordinary people couldn't stand on the podium for 40 minutes, let alone talk and lecture the whole time. The only time they could save energy was during the Q&A session when they had to support themselves on the podium with both hands.

This will make your feet and knees feel more comfortable.

Therefore, the vast majority of "famous teachers" have iron knees. Of course, many of them have leg problems after retirement, or suffer from lumbar muscle strain at an early age.

The key issue is the voice. Given the intensity Zhang Da'an went through last year, normally no one could possibly withstand it; the voice would definitely not be able to take it.

But Zhang Da'an was perfectly fine and could still sing.

It's truly wicked, truly demonic.

"The principal also personally conducts admissions interviews, which saves us a lot of trouble in terms of process control."

Han Tieguai succinctly revealed one of Zhang Da'an's "magic tricks": people were misled by the title of "top scholar," to the point that they completely ignored the thresholds Zhang Da'an set for selecting students.

In reality, those who can enjoy the top scholar's tutoring treatment under Zhang Da'an's guidance are all those who have already passed the basic test.

But if Zhang Da'an doesn't say anything, who else will bother to investigate? In the end, it's all about the outcome.

Parents are not interested in anything else; they just want to see their children get into top high schools. Zhang Da'an's response was to exceed expectations.

Many students this year were at the average high school level when they entered last year, but this year their exam performance reached its peak, and after exceeding expectations, they directly surpassed the admission score of national-level demonstration high schools.

For the parents of these students, it was an incredible surprise.

Their very existence is a testament to their golden reputation.

From a business perspective, "Zhang An Education's" Net Promoter Score (NPS) is exceptionally high, meaning it has a large number of only children. If these parents have two children, there's a 99% chance they'll send their second child to Zhang An Education for tutoring. Therefore, Zhang An doesn't particularly prioritize absolute exposure in its advertising. Its television commercials are very concise, without any loud, booming voiceovers; they're generally in a tone similar to baby products, never giving the impression of being a health supplement for the elderly.

This year, quite a few institutions have actually adopted "Zhang An Education," and many tutoring centers in Shazhou City are trying to find out exactly what kind of approach "Zhang An Education" takes.

From the publicly available information, there's nothing particularly special about it; upon closer analysis, it's all the same old tricks.

The reason why it cannot be replicated is quite simple.

They didn't have a top scorer.

It's that simple, that unpretentious. Parents don't care about this or that. He was the top scorer in the Wudu City Junior High School Entrance Examination last year and the top scorer in the National College Entrance Examination this year. That's more convincing than anything else.

Under this halo, the over 90% pass rate of the "top scorer tutoring class" for national-level high schools is simply taken for granted.

It is a wreath beneath the halo.

Therefore, some well-established educational institutions have given up competing with "Zhang An Education" for high-end clients and instead opted for a lower entry barrier for students, while also reducing their fees.

Of course, there are also those who resort to underhanded tactics. For example, some retired teachers from Dongweigang Middle School were invited by some tutoring centers to act as their advertising representatives.

The alma mater of the top-scoring student, and a senior teacher.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a lie, and upon closer inspection... it really doesn't seem like a lie.

Tell me if it's the alma mater of the top scorer.

As for senior teachers... how can someone who has taught students for decades not be senior?

I'm not talking about senior or famous teachers.

Zhang Da'an doesn't bother with those who try to skirt the rules, as long as they don't compete with him for students or actually abuse his reputation, it's not a big problem.

The more of these small tutoring centers he has, the more famous he will become.

However, Zhang Da'an was actually unaware of how famous he was in the eyes of the parents.

He originally planned a three-day recruitment fair in the badminton hall of the gymnasium, but it was so popular that the Education Bureau contacted him immediately, hoping to hold a second recruitment fair. They also coordinated with an investment promotion event in a local township, and the second fair was also for three days, but it was moved from the badminton hall to the basketball hall.

However, it was still so popular that parents from well-informed cities along the river in Jiangkou Province brought their children to try it out.

Of the parents who came, 60% had their own cars, and the remaining 40% traveled by car with relatives or friends. Not a single parent took a long-distance bus.

These details are usually not noticed by ordinary people, but at this time, the cadre team in Shazhou City was full of capable people, and there were many who were good at economics. Basically, every bureau and commission had an expert who was influential at the time.

The Education Bureau is no exception; Qiu Jianmin, the "old company commander," is able to maintain his position because he can make money.

Now, he hurriedly led Zhang Zhengdong to find Zhang Da'an, who was planning to rest for half a day and go fishing.

"Mr. Zhang, I've come here to discuss something with you."

"The old man is being too polite with me; we're family."

"Then I'll be more decisive!"

Qiu Jianmin was delighted to hear the greeting "Uncle," then pulled up a small stool, sat down next to Zhang Da'an, and said with a smile, "Zhang An, I have a favor to ask of you. Could you... hold the third recruitment fair?"
