Financial freedom starts with a monthly income of XNUMX

The only thing that surprised Gao Yuan in the entire audit center was that there were more female employees than men.

Female employees account for approximately 65%.

Especially in the morning when going to work and in the afternoon when getting off work, too many beautiful female employees walk out of the company, attracting the attention of male employees from surrounding companies.

People from other companies were really jealous when they saw this!

After visiting the entire audit center, Gao Yuan left by car.

It's almost noon now.

We had a casual special lunch in the ancient capital, and then a convoy consisting of a Coaster, two business cars, three off-road vehicles and four or five high-end RVs headed for the nearby highway entrance.

We got on the highway and headed south, and soon the car arrived between the mountains.

The speed limit was also reduced from 120 to 80 mph.

Gao Yuan has rarely seen such a scene of endless mountains. His hometown is mainly plains, and even if there are mountains, most of them are short hills.

As for Hangzhou, there are even fewer mountains.

The car drove all the way to a small county town called Anzhen before stopping. This place was already deep in the mountains.

Towering mountains surround the small county town.

A river flowed out from between two mountains, carving out a narrow plain.

The county seat was built on this plain.

However, rather than being a county town, it is not as prosperous as any street in Hangzhou.

After bypassing the county town, the car drove into the village road and once again shuttled through the mountains. The road conditions were much worse than the highway.

The mountain road is winding. It was a two-way street at the beginning, but later it became a one-way street at some point.

The mountain road is about three meters wide, and it is particularly troublesome for two cars to pass each other.

There are low houses on both sides of the road and small plots of farmland at the foot of the mountain. It is July now and the wheat harvest has been completed. Green corn stalks stand in the fields.

The occasional crowing of chickens and barking of dogs added a lively atmosphere to the village.

Finally, the car drove into a middle school in the town.

This middle school is a nine-year school, covering grades one to nine.

The tallest building in the entire school is a four-story reinforced concrete building. It looks like it has been built for more than ten years and is old and mottled.

The sports field has no asphalt, it's all dust, with just a layer of sand on top.

"Mr. Gao!"

As soon as the vehicle drove in, the school principal came out to greet it.

He brought all the school leaders, both big and small, to line up to welcome him.

"Principal Lu!"

Gao Yuan shook hands with the school leaders one by one.

"Welcome to visit our school. The children in our school are blessed." Principal Lu burst into tears.

He has been on the front line of education for many years and has a deep understanding of how difficult it is for children in rural areas.

There is a saying that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and this saying is constantly coming true.

The gap between rural students and urban children is getting bigger and bigger, not only in educational resources but also in all aspects. In rural areas, quality education still has a long way to go.

In recent years, fewer and fewer rural children are admitted to higher education institutions.

Especially in top universities, the number of places for rural children is shrinking year by year.

Principal Lu remembers that a 985 university was evaluating scholarships, but no student in his class signed up.

After asking, I found out that most of the students in their class were in good condition, and they felt it was shameful to receive scholarships.

"Principal Lu, please take us on a tour first." Gao Yuan said.

It is the end of the semester and students are taking their final exams in a tense and orderly manner.

Led by Principal Lu, Gao Yuan visited the student dormitories, cafeteria and vacant classrooms.

The environment in student dormitories is very poor. It is common for eight to ten people to live in one dormitory, and the lighting in the dormitories is dim.

Although it has been cleaned, the old equipment still looks dirty.

As for the teaching building, the tables, chairs and benches inside have long been worn out.

Even the most basic multimedia projection in big cities has become a luxury here.

There is also a cafeteria, where the food is rather monotonous and it is difficult to provide students with the nutritional needs they need on a daily basis.

After visiting the school, Gao Yuan was filled with emotion.

In economically developed cities, quality education has become the most basic education. In addition to studying, students also have a rich variety of extracurricular activities.

However, in remote schools deep in the mountains, quality education is a luxury.

In the next two days, Gao Yuan visited many primary and middle schools in towns and villages.

The conditions of these schools are similar: infrastructure is severely lacking, and many students have never even left the city.

On the fifth day, Gao Yuan gathered all the principals of Anzhen County together and planned to hold a brief meeting to discuss the matter.

This time, Gao Yuan brought 200 million yuan in funding, which is a huge sum of money for these township schools.

Even if a dozen township middle schools divide the money equally, it can solve their current situation.

In the meeting room, the principal of Luquan Township Middle School expressed his opinion, "I think 20 million is enough to improve the teaching conditions of all students in our Luquan Middle School."

"Mr. Gao, I plan to use 10 million of it to build a new teaching building for the school, 5 million to decorate the classrooms, and 5 million to improve the living conditions of the teachers."

"The reason why those teachers are reluctant to come to our rural middle school is because it is so remote and has nothing here. If we had this 5 million yuan in support, I believe many teachers would be happy to come."

The principal of Luquan Middle School's remarks drew approval from the principals of other schools.

"I think this is a good suggestion. By providing direct cash support, we can avoid a lot of trouble, and you don't have to worry anymore, Mr. Gao."

"Yes, Mr. Gao. You are a very busy person and it is impossible for you to spend all your time here. The suggestion we put forward is practical and effective."

"Mr. Gao, thank you for your support for our rural middle schools. I think it is the best thing to directly invest in and subsidize schools."

"..."

The principals of these schools all stared at Gao Yuan.

If divided equally, each school will receive nearly 20 million yuan in funding.

This is a huge project.

However, Gao Yuan felt somewhat resistant to their actions. "Boss Gao, can I have a word with you?"

Principal Lu stood up and invited Gao Yuan to go outside to talk in detail.

"Lao Lu, is there anything you can't say in front of all of us?"

"That's right. We are all here for the cause of education. If you tell us your suggestions, we can help you with some reference."

"Lao Lu, didn't you say last time when we were drinking that the township middle school was in trouble? Today is the time to solve the problem, why are you still hiding it from us?"

"..."

The principals of these schools were somewhat puzzled by Principal Lu's approach.

"Come out and say it."

Gao Yuan ignored these principals and took Principal Lu out of the conference room.

Outside the conference room, Principal Lu slowly lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He then said, "Dividing the money equally is the stupidest way. I don't recommend dividing it equally."

"Mr. Gao is the boss of a big company. He is a smart man and should be able to understand the tricks involved. As long as it is related to construction projects, especially the construction of teaching buildings, Mr. Gao thinks there is no money involved."

"Ten million yuan to build a teaching building may be a little too little for a middle school in an economically developed city in the south, but it is too much for a middle school in a mountainous area like ours."

"Because we don't have that many students in our mountain middle school, and there will be fewer and fewer students in the future, why build such a good teaching building? Isn't it a waste to keep it?"

Principal Lu talked about the situation of their middle school.

In the early days, there were about 150 students in each grade of their school, and some grades even had 200 students.

The nine-year school includes elementary and junior high schools, which means that their school has at least fourteen to five hundred students.

As time went by, the birth rate dropped, the number of students decreased, and many families with the means sent their children to school in the city.

"Now in our middle school, there are only more than ten students in each grade. Some grades have less than ten students. The whole school has nearly 200 students." Principal Lu said, "I want to ask, do you think it is worthwhile to invest 20 million in such a middle school?"

"If you divide it equally, that's 100,000 yuan spent on each child! I think it's really inappropriate for a rural middle school to do this."

Principal Lu spoke out many true stories about rural middle schools.

This is also what Gao Yuan is worried about.

The number of students in middle schools in remote towns is decreasing, and will be even smaller in the future.

As a result, a huge amount of investment was wasted.

Two hundred million is not a lot for Gao Yuan, but it does not mean that he can just throw it away.

"During the past few days of investigation, I have also discovered many problems. Most rural teachers do not want to stay here. Their teaching is a bit impetuous." Gao Yuan said, "They all want to be transferred to the city. Those with connections use their connections, and those without connections take the city exams."

"There are fewer and fewer teachers who can calm down and teach well."

"In fact, let alone the teachers, even I have thought about transferring to the city many times. I bought a house in the city, and my wife and children go to school in the city. I can only go back to the city on Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes I am too busy to go back for half a month. I also want to transfer to the city to accompany my children and wife every day. Even if I am demoted to become the vice principal of a middle school in the city, I don't care."

These are the two biggest problems currently faced by township middle schools.

There are fewer and fewer students, and teachers are becoming less and less attentive.

If this continues, the future of children in mountainous areas will become increasingly worrying.

Faced with so many problems, it is difficult to think of a perfect solution.

"I have an idea. Instead of letting township middle schools disperse funds, it is better to pool funds to build three or four middle schools. These three or four middle schools are located in four directions of the county, and the children of two or three township middle schools are gathered in one middle school."

"Those children live far from school, so we adopt a boarding system. When the holidays come, we use special vehicles to send these children home."

"We also need to improve teachers' salaries so that they can stay in school and teach students with peace of mind."

Faced with these problems, Principal Lu actively gave suggestions.

"Your idea is good, but it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution." Gao Yuan sighed.

Before coming to the mountainous area, he had never imagined that education in the mountainous area would have such serious drawbacks.

"But right now, there really isn't a better solution."

Gao Yuan looked at Principal Lu and said, "Let's proceed according to this plan and integrate the educational resources in the mountainous areas. We need to discuss the specific methods with the principals of all the high schools."

It doesn't matter even if the principals of these middle schools disagree. As long as the middle schools are well built and well-known, and provide accommodation and school buses for pick-up during holidays, coupled with various welfare policies, I believe parents will send their children here.

Next, Gao Yuan discussed with the principals.

Afterwards, Gao Yuan went to the local education department and consulted with relevant persons in charge.

After staying in Anzhen County for another two days, all the procedures were finally finalized.

The bidding is conducted locally, but the review and supervision personnel are dispatched from distant groups.

Gao Yuan’s idea about this is very simple. It is impossible not to let them make some money. They are locals, so they must make some money.

After all, it's a 200 million yuan project, and even if you get a little bit from it, you can still make hundreds of thousands or millions.

But one cannot stretch his hands too far. Once a loss of millions or tens of millions is incurred, Gao Yuan will definitely get to the bottom of it.

The educational reform in Anzhen County is equivalent to a pilot project. If possible, Gao Yuan’s future educational donations will focus on this pilot project and promote donations to other remote mountainous areas.

The purpose is to allow more children in mountainous areas to receive better education.

At the same time, Gao Yuan also obtained the consent of Principal Huang to sign a contract with local schools on behalf of Zhejiang University to send a group of volunteer teachers to assist these middle schools every year.

Students who can be admitted to Zhejiang University are considered top students in every province.

Their abilities are stronger than many teachers, and those students have seen the world and can fully broaden the horizons of students in remote mountainous areas.

After doing these things, Gao Yuan drove away from Anzhen County.

I have been traveling around the countryside these days. The accommodation conditions in many towns are very poor. There are no hotels, only a few shabby guesthouses.

So Gao Yuan slept in the RV.

Fortunately, we made preparations in advance, and the accommodation conditions in those large RVs are similar to those in three-star hotels.

In the afternoon, Gao Yuan returned to the ancient city and took a plane back to Hangzhou from the ancient city.

This trip took about a week.

I was in a hurry to return to Hangzhou because I had a press conference to hold there.

A new version of Yuanfang Auto has been launched.

The new version launched this time will be better adapted to distant mobile phones. At the same time, the car system is equipped with the latest developed 1.0 nanometer chip, and the car system has also been upgraded.

Today's Yuanfang cars have almost no shortcomings and are constantly being updated and improved.

It can be said that for less than one million, Yuanfang Automobile has almost no rivals.

If we compare the performance, many million-dollar luxury cars are not as good as Yuanfang Automobile, but they are expensive, the price is high, and they are always cutting leeks. (End of this chapter)
