Chapter 291 Elementary School

"Xiao Ming, I didn't expect you to come to see me in person." Liu Zhenhai was very happy when he saw Wang Xiaoming. He saw the achievements made by this fellow villager in recent years, and Dake's company has also become a nationally renowned brand.

"If I don't come to see you again, Uncle Liu, will you forget me?" Wang Xiaoming said with a smile, and at the same time handed over the gift he brought, two high-end cigarettes and a bucket of tea.

"Even if I want to forget you, it's impossible for me to forget you. You don't know how famous your Dake company is now. Let's talk about it, what's wrong with me this time?" Liu Zhenhai took over the things from Wang Xiaoming. Although Wang Xiaoming has been in the province for several years, during the Chinese New Year and the people in the Beijing office of Dake company will give him some things in his name. Although they are not very expensive, they represent the true love of this fellow villager. It is precisely because they are not expensive that Liu Zhenhai takes them down every time.

"It's not only to see you, but also to ask for your help." Wang Xiaoming said.

"Okay, let's talk about it first." Liu Zhenhai has now been promoted to deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery. Although he ranks third, he is at least a deputy ministerial-level cadre.

"I want to run a school, but I asked me to go to the Ministry of Education for consultation, but the reply I got was not allowed, so I want to see if you have any solutions?" Wang Xiaoming said.

"Xiao Ming, your thinking is really strange. The scale of Dake company is getting bigger and bigger. Do you want to run a school that specializes in cultivating talents for your company? This should not be difficult. You can communicate with the local government departments." Liu Zhenhai said that many companies now have their own technical schools, usually the children of employees of their own units. After graduation, they will work in the company. It seems that such things do not need to be approved by the Ministry of Education.

"What I want to run is not a technical school, but a full-time primary school, a middle school or even a university." Wang Xiaoming said.

"You said you want to run a regular school?" Liu Zhenhai knew that Wang Xiaoming had always been unexpected, but running a school seemed to have nothing to do with Dake Company, right?

"Yes, private schools, I pay for the construction of the school myself and ask for teachers. I don't need state support, just give me policies." Wang Xiaoming said.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Liu Zhenhai was surprised. It seems that there is no one in society who will run schools yet, right? Who doesn't know that all schools are run by the state?

"Because there are still many people who cannot get formal education now." Wang Xiaoming cannot talk to Liu Zhenhai about his views, otherwise if it is not good, Liu Zhenhai will send him to the Criminal Bureau by rebellion. Such things can be communicated with Zhou Min. If it were someone else, no one would accept it. Moreover, Zhou Min is still just because Wang Xiaoming is her boss and she has no choice. In fact, she has not fully accepted it yet.

"This is, especially in the remote mountainous areas in the west. I heard that there is a village, or even a township, and many people cannot afford to go to school even if they have schools. The annual tuition is a heavy burden for them." Liu Zhenhai pondered. Although China now has nine-year compulsory education, these nine-year compulsory education is not free. In economically favorable areas, perhaps that little tuition is nothing, but in rural areas, many people have to borrow tuition everywhere in order to allow their children to go to school. In rural schools, there are many students who have not paid tuition before the end of the semester.

"Then do you think my idea can be realized?" Wang Xiaoming knew that anyone who really cares about this country would support his idea.

"Why are you so troublesome? If you have money, you can build more schools. In many mountainous areas, there is not even a brick and tile classroom. Isn't this more worry-free?" Liu Zhenhai is familiar with the central government's policies. You can help students and help poverty, but you can't interfere in education. There is no reform in education yet, and no one dares to open this opportunity easily. Even if he knows that this matter is good for those students, no one dares to be a pioneer without policies.

"Because in my school, all students go to school for free, and if they have good grades, they can even get a scholarship. Will such a school be run by the state?" Wang Xiaoming said that if people in his school can learn according to their own ideas, Wang Xiaoming is willing to bear such a fee because he knows that it is impossible to get support without paying now.

"You said that if you run a school, you will pay all the student fees? Then isn't this a loss-making deal?" Liu Zhenhai said. You should know that there are twelve years from elementary school to high school. Maybe Wang Xiaoming is willing to pay the annual fee, but in the case of twelve years and the number of students will definitely increase, will Wang Xiaoming still be willing to bear such high fees? Besides, Wang Xiaoming's company now has good performance. What if his company has poor performance? Then don't such a school be dumped immediately?

"Uncle Liu, I just want those children to receive formal education and to make our ancestors rich and strong faster. This is not a business, nor is it because of reputation. It is just that I want to do something real." Wang Xiaoming said sincerely.

"But how do you ensure that the school you run can run for a long time? If the cost in the future is high, even when you can't bear it, can your promise be realized?" Liu Zhenhai said worriedly. Although he was also very excited about Wang Xiaoming's idea, this was obviously just Wang Xiaoming's impulse move. What if he regrets it in a few years? Or does he have no financial ability?

"As long as the country gives me policies, I will deposit a fund to establish a foundation specifically for school expenses. I dare not say that if I have too much, but my money can guarantee that the school will be operated for fifty years without relying on interest. Can such a promise satisfy you?" Wang Xiaoming said that Yang Xiaokan's return on investment this year made him very satisfied. It is no problem to complete the scheduled plan this year, so Wang Xiaoming has the confidence to say this. Moreover, even if he does not have this money, the money earned by his previous stock subscription certificate is enough for him to spend this fee.

"If you can guarantee that you have this money, I can help you with activities, but I can't guarantee the result. After all, there is no precedent yet." Liu Zhenhai said.

"That's great. I can take out several hundred million as a deposit at any time." Wang Xiaoming said happily.

"Xiao Ming, you are really rich. You can just talk about it for hundreds of millions. Is your Dake company really so profitable?" Liu Zhenhai said in surprise.

"This is my business secret." Wang Xiaoming smiled. Of course, he couldn't tell Liu Zhenhai that his money had nothing to do with Dake Company.

With Wang Xiaoming's strong financial support, Liu Zhenhai was confident in speaking. He reflected Wang Xiaoming's intentions to the ministerial leaders of the Ministry of Education, but the Ministry of Education could not answer him immediately. You should know that there is no precedent for such a thing, and the Ministry of Education is still a little worried. If you run a private school without going through the national education system, does not mean that the existing education system makes Wang Xiaoming dissatisfied?

But no matter what, some central leaders have learned about private schools. For private schools, regardless of their intentions, at least this is a good thing. Didn’t the chief designer also advocate that education should be facing modernization and the future? Since he attaches so much importance to education, he cannot at least refuse private schools among private schools, at least he is good.

Wang Xiaoming didn't know that he made this request to Liu Zhenhai, and Liu Zhenhai transferred the matter to the Ministry of Education. After the Ministry of Education did not receive a clear reply, he also pointed it to the State Council, the education-related departments did not know how many meetings they had. The topics of these meetings were all aimed at private schools.

It is easy and difficult to promote the introduction of a policy in China. It is easy to say that as long as the big boss in the court can be realized soon. Speaking of difficulty, sometimes a policy may not be introduced for several years or even decades. For example, publicizing the income of officials, reducing public accounts expenses, etc.

This time, Wang Xiaoming's idea of ​​running a school must also be introduced by the central government's policies, otherwise no one would dare to agree to Wang Xiaoming's application.

"Xiao Ming, are you still in Beijing?" It was only a month later that Wang Xiaoming received a call from Liu Zhenhai.

"I'm in Hong Kong, has things progressed?" Wang Xiaoming often called Liu Zhenhai to ask about the progress of the matter, but he was discouraged every time he received, but Wang Xiaoming didn't want to hang himself on a tree. Since there is no way to run a school in Danan, I can go to Hong Kong and Macau to run it. Then I will come to the mainland to recruit students, and the same effect can be achieved, but that influence will be far worse and the cost will be much higher. But since Wang Xiaoming has decided to do it, no one can stop it. Wang Xiaoming is no longer the Wang Xiaoming who can only leave his fate in his previous life.

"Yes, the relevant central departments want to listen to your thoughts directly." Liu Zhenhai said that he has also been running around for this matter during this period. Although he is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery, his ability is not very strong when it comes to matters outside the Ministry of Machinery. He can only do such things through old leaders and colleagues.

"I'll let Zhou Min report to them? Now she is in charge of the investigation of this matter, and we already have specific implementation details." Wang Xiaoming said.

"That's fine. If you ask her to come to Beijing immediately, the faster the better. You also know that their master departments will not wait for you for too long." Liu Zhenhai said.

"Then I'll let her fly back immediately, and she can arrive in Beijing tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Wang Xiaoming said that it would be best if she could run a school in the mainland. Otherwise, before Wang Xiaoming received a clear reply, he decided to buy land and build a school site in Hong Kong.
