There is a "Student Craftsman Workshop"
Recently, the news of "Make money with technology! A vocational teacher in Henan earns 2.01 million yuan from software development in school" on the Internet.
This vocational student is Dong Jiaxing, a student from the School of Mathematics and Information Engineering of Puyang Vocational and Technical College.
Dong Jiaxing, 24 years old this year, was born in a rural family in Anyang City, Henan Province, and his parents worked outside all year round.
During high school, he developed a strong interest in computer technology and has been self-taught in his spare time.
In 2018, he was admitted to Puyang Vocational and Technical College.
"Shortly after entering the school, he proposed to leave school and go home to start his own business." Zhang Zhiguo, secretary of the Party branch of the School of Mathematics and Information Engineering of Puyang Vocational and Technical College, clearly remembers Dong Jiaxing's firm attitude.
He is confident - in March 2017, with his self-taught computer knowledge, he won a risk control bonus of 130,000 yuan from Tencent's vulnerability mining.
"Support suspension and entrepreneurship! Because of understanding the situation, the school's attitude towards Dong Jiaxing is also very clear." Zhang Zhiguo said.
In the days of running e-commerce from home, Dong Jiaxing has never given up his hobby and attention to computer technology.
Although he also achieved success in business, he gradually found that he was outdated, unable to keep up with the pace of computer and Internet technology upgrading, and many problems encountered in real life could not be easily solved with the only knowledge reserve.
"I want to continue studying!" Dong Jiaxing decided to return to school.
So, in October 2021, he returned to the arms of his alma mater, sat at the desk again, and became a freshman in the School of Mathematics and Information Engineering.
"Dong Jiaxing is a child who can't be found after being thrown into the crowd for a long time." said Sun Yuan, associate professor of the School of Mathematics and Information Engineering and director of the Computer Application Technology Teaching and Research Office. Dong Jiaxing, who can endure hardships, is also an active participant in various practical projects and innovative skills competitions of the school.
Dong Jiaxing, who has not stopped running e-commerce in his spare time, has an idea: can we develop a software that allows e-commerce companies to obtain passenger flow faster and cheaper?
In an online exchange with peers, the idea was endorsed.
"The school has always adhered to the cultivation of innovative talents, and carried out classified teaching according to the level of students, and carried out precise education. For students with talent and innovative spirit like Dong Jiaxing, after entering the school, the school provides a learning platform for them to focus on training." Liu Yan, dean of the School of Mathematics and Information Engineering, said that the school has also set up an innovation and entrepreneurship incubation area, built a "student craftsman workshop", dispatched instructors, and formed student teams to support students in programming research and development.
With the strong backing of school leaders and teachers, and a fully equipped exclusive venue, Dong Jiaxing usually "soaks" in the "Student Craftsman Workshop" after class, ranging from a few hours to overnight, encountering difficult problems. If you can solve it by yourself, you can solve it by yourself. If you can't solve it by yourself, you can either discuss it with the team members or ask the instructor.
"The most annoying thing is that there is an error at the end of the program code writing, and you have to start all over again." Dong Jiaxing said that it takes about seven or eight days to write a complete program code, and it will take a long time to rewrite after an error. This happens no less than 10 times during the software process.
"I often cheer myself up in my heart, and I never give up."
After half a year of hard work, Dong Jiaxing led the team to successfully develop a precise customer acquisition system.
The system can enable e-commerce companies to acquire customers at a lower cost, have a larger order volume, and have a higher transaction rate, which can greatly reduce the operating costs of rural e-commerce and help rural revitalization.
News of Dong Jiaxing's successful development of an accurate customer acquisition system spread like wildfire.
On March 28 this year, he successfully received a transfer of 2.01 million yuan from an Internet company in Xiamen, and signed a contract.
"Vocational education is an important foundation for cultivating technical and skilled talents, promoting employment, entrepreneurship and innovation, and promoting China's manufacturing and service level. The school will cultivate more high-quality technical and technical talents, skilled craftsmen, and great country craftsmen." said Liu Honghao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Puyang Vocational and Technical College .
In order to provide more college students with an excellent environment for innovation and entrepreneurship, the school has raised funds to build a college student entrepreneurship incubator to further serve students' innovation and entrepreneurship, so that more students can directly find employment and start a business after stepping out of the school gate.
"In fact, the entrepreneurial atmosphere of our school has always been very good. There are many successful examples of entrepreneurship among previous seniors and sisters, which is also the advantage of vocational colleges." Dong Jiaxing said that his achievements cannot be achieved without the help of school teachers and classmates , He and his teammates have already negotiated and are ready to invest the income from this software development into the next step of research and development, striving to expand the field, develop more mature and high-tech products, and realize his life dream.
