1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 547 Study Abroad Education Fund!

After Li Changhe briefly described his situation overseas, everyone at the dinner table, except Zhu Lin, fell silent.

"You mean, you have another identity overseas and are now a billionaire?"

After a long silence, Li Lishan asked slowly.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes!"

"Did the country send you out?"

Shen Yuxiu also asked worriedly at this moment.

Has my son become a big capitalist?
The current turmoil has only been over for a few years, and Shen Yuxiu and the others do not have as clear a view of outsiders as Li Changhe.

Big capitalists, who knows if they will become the target of attack again?

"Well, it is."

In fact, strictly speaking, this was entirely a personal action by Li Changhe, and he was just given the green light to go out.

Of course, in order to keep his identity confidential, he still registered with the foreign affairs department, but in an inconspicuous place.

"Sister, if your family goes out and sees news about him or encounters him outside, don't reveal his identity."

"He has been using another identity to go out and do things. If you expose him and attract other people's attention, it will be troublesome for Changhe."

Zhu Lin said seriously at this time.

"what?"

"I'll just forget about it. I won't go abroad to study for the time being."

Li Xiaojun said hesitantly at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not as serious as you think. I'm not a secret agent."

"To put it bluntly, I took the initiative to go out and use the economics knowledge I learned to make money, and then help the country earn some technology and foreign exchange."

"I'm not spying on other countries' intelligence secrets or anything like that. It's just a business activity."

"The main reason I keep my identity secret is that many people in Europe and America still discriminate against us. If they knew that my money and business would flow into China, some people would probably make trouble and stop it."

"That would not be a good thing for the country. After all, we are short of money and technology right now."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. In the past two years, most foreign investors have been waiting or making exorbitant demands on us, so my identity needs to be kept secret. After a few years, when large-scale foreign investment pours in, my case will not be a big deal."

After listening to Li Changhe's explanation, the family felt a little relieved.

"Then I'm going to go out, is it really okay?"

"Will it have any effect on you?"

Li Xiaojun looked at his brother seriously.

"No, and generally speaking, we don't have access to it, except in newspapers or magazines."

As long as Li Changhe doesn't take the initiative to find Li Xiaojun, given Li Xiaojun's status as an international student, it is almost impossible for her to have any intersection with Li Changhe.

"Well, actually, your brother-in-law and I are fine, but Nannan, I have to correct her consciousness when the time comes."

Li Xiaojun and Chen Aiguo can keep it in mind, but their daughter is a young child and will probably need to be taught well for a while.

"Don't worry. It's too early to talk about this now. As far as I know, you have to wait until you graduate from college before you can apply to study abroad. In other words, you can only apply in the second half of the year, and the earliest you can go abroad is next year."

"Nannan will be more sensible by then, and we can just teach her slowly then."

Li Lishan spoke at this time.

"One more thing, sister. I won't give you too much money then. It can only be the level of ordinary people over there."

"I will arrange a job for my brother-in-law so that you can have a secure life, but I won't give you too much money, otherwise it will be too conspicuous."

"It's not good to be too conspicuous. What you need to do is to learn as much knowledge as possible from there in a safe and stable manner. European and American societies still discriminate against Chinese people, so you need to be mentally prepared for this."

"The people over there are not as kind as you think."

Most foreigners basically ignore Chinese people. Only a very small number of them are friendly, and some even like to bully.

Although Li Changhe will arrange everything properly, he still has to give his sister a heads-up in advance.

"Well, I see."

Li Xiaojun nodded.

"Also, let your brother-in-law learn some English in advance. At least he should know and speak some simple conversations and words. You should also prepare in advance. Later, ask Linlin to buy a VCR for the family. She has some European and American movies. You can watch them and learn at the same time."

"Watch the lifestyle there through movies and learn the language at the same time."

Li Changhe reminded again at this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Lin's heart trembled.

I'll have to look for it carefully when I get back. Some movies are not suitable for my elder sister and brother-in-law to watch.

Chen Aiguo, who was standing by, couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face when he heard that he also had to learn English. He was a poor student who had not even finished middle school, and now he had to learn a foreign language. The thought of it made him feel overwhelmed.

But then Chen Aiguo gritted his teeth. His wife had made up her mind, and his brother-in-law had created such good conditions. Of course he had to follow suit and not hold his wife back.

After finishing their meal, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin packed their clothes and went upstairs.

Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year and she will go back to her parents' home. Her parents' home is upstairs, so she might as well go back tonight.

The two of them were too lazy to go back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

Back upstairs, Zhu Lin's room had already been cleaned up. After washing up, the couple lay down in Zhu Lin's boudoir again.

"Changhe, if my elder sister goes out, how about I give her some foreign exchange certificates?"

There are still hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange coupons at home, and Zhu Lin feels that she can never spend it all.

"When the time comes, just exchange some dollars for her. It doesn't have to be too much."

"When she gets out, I will give her living expenses on a monthly basis."

Li Changhe said softly.

"Monthly payment?"

Zhu Lin was a little surprised to hear what Li Changhe said.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "I've thought about it. Next, I will set up a Chinese education fund in the United States. At that time, it will serve all outstanding Chinese youth, including Hong Kong, Macao and our country."

"When the time comes, we will put the eldest sister's name on the list of recipients of the fund, and we will issue them subsidies on time in the name of the fund."

"Then I will arrange a job for Chen Aiguo, and their lives will not be bad."

Li Changhe has actually considered the education fund for a long time, but has never implemented it because his main intention is to support domestic and international educational exchanges.

However, before this, the students were mainly sent abroad by the government, so it was not easy or convenient for Li Changhe to intervene.

However, now that the country has clearly stipulated that self-funded study abroad is allowed, Li Changhe feels that he can naturally take action.

On the one hand, the funds in hand can be used to help more outstanding students go abroad to study. After all, the selection of public international students in China is sometimes biased.

Because at that time, there were many hidden conditions other than academic requirements for government-sponsored students. For example, Yi Gang was selected to study abroad in his junior year, but Hai Wen, who was not much worse than him, could not go.

But this does not mean that Haiwen is not as good as Yi Gang. There are many such cases.

In the era when integrity was in charge, there were actually many hidden gems that were left behind for various reasons.

What Li Changhe wants to do now is to dig out these famous pearls.

Secondly, another benefit of doing so is that it will completely increase the visibility of the Chinese company he is planning to build in East Asia.

In the United States, law firms and immigration companies have already been established, and the next step is to expand the market.

Using education funds as a vanguard to increase awareness in the Chinese world including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia and even Taiwan is actually a good move.

After all, Chinese people have always attached great importance to education, and Chinese mutual aid associations that can invest heavily in education are actually more likely to gain everyone's trust.

The first batch of people who received funding would become Li Changhe's most famous brand in the future, allowing him to gradually build the largest intermediary group between Chinese and Europe and America. However, this matter still needs to be communicated to the higher-ups first.

"Education fund? What is this fund?"

Zhu Lin asked curiously again at this time.

The main reason is that she really doesn't understand this kind of financial academic knowledge. There is no such thing as funds in China at present. Not to mention funds, even the functions of banks are not sound.

"How should I put it? It's a financial company set up for a specific purpose."

Li Changhe explained the concept of fund to Zhu Lin.

"The education fund I mentioned is specifically for supporting students to go to school. Overseas, there are also charity funds that are specifically for doing good deeds, such as medical care and poverty alleviation."

"When the domestic fund industry opens up in a few years, we will also set up a charity fund. You will be responsible for the management and do charity work in China. How about that?"

"I run a fund? I don't understand it?"

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Zhu Lin was a little surprised, and then subconsciously refused. The main reason was that she felt that she didn't understand such financial things, so how could she do it?
"You don't actually need to understand this. There will be someone dedicated to helping you. All you have to do is sign and supervise the people below you. Also, make the accounts public on a regular basis."

Li Changhe said softly.

The future of the charity industry in China will have extremely opaque accounts, full of filth and corruption. In many cases, it will become an ATM for certain people, and there will be all kinds of people who take advantage of others' misfortunes and do evil things in the name of charity.

Li Changhe plans to set one up first, and then formulate some rules and regulations for this industry to prevent some people from taking advantage of loopholes.

If my wife is not interested in business in the future, then doing charity is also a good idea.

Moreover, charity itself is a particularly good amulet. As long as it is done sincerely, it is a powerful tool to protect the family and the people.

"Let's talk about it then. If I can do it, I'll help you."

Zhu Lin did not refuse blindly. After hearing Li Changhe say that it was not difficult, she was willing to give it a try when the time comes.

Just think of it as helping your man to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

The two chatted for a while, then turned off the lights and went to bed.

At his father-in-law's house, Li Changhe did not dare to be too reckless. After all, the house was too small, and although the sound insulation effect was good, it also had its limits.

The excitement of the Spring Festival often makes people forget the time, and in the blink of an eye, the fifth day of the New Year has passed.

And that afternoon, Li Changhe finally received the call he had been longing for.

Soon, Li Changhe came to a quiet and elegant villa within the second ring road of the city, which was where Mr. Liao lived now.

That’s right, he came to visit Mr. Liao again.

"Comrade Changhe, didn't you come here before the New Year? Why are you in such a hurry to come and pay New Year's greetings again?"

On the sofa at home, Old Liao was playing with his eldest grandson while talking to Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe said seriously: "Mr. Liao, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Oh? Then let's go to the study and talk about it!"

Seeing Li Changhe's serious look, Mr. Liao felt that it was probably not a trivial matter, so he decided to go to the study to discuss it in detail.

"Changhe, don't leave after we finish talking. Stay home and eat dumplings tonight. OK?"

"Okay, Aunt Jing, I've been wanting to try your cooking for a long time."

Li Changhe responded loudly.

At this moment, Mr. Liao put his eldest grandson down from his arms and said, "Come on, Huainan, go find grandma over there. Grandpa has to go to work."

When Li Changhe heard Mr. Liao calling his name, he was slightly stunned.

Could it be that the eldest grandson of Mr. Liao in front of him is the one who will marry "Kong Ci" in the future?

Li Changhe remembered that when he was looking up information in his previous life, he had seen that among the descendants of Mr. Liao, there was an eldest grandson who married Kong Ci from "Feng Yun Xiong Ba Tian Xia".

He couldn't remember the name clearly, but now that Mr. Liao called him, he had some impression of it.

It seems his name is Huainan.

Well, these are all things that will never happen in the future. Li Changhe just suddenly thought of this.

Afterwards, after arriving at the study with Mr. Liao, the two began to talk about business.

After hearing Li Changhe's idea of ​​establishing an education fund, Mr. Liao sat there and began to think.

"Changhe, your education fund is aimed at the entire Chinese world, including Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States, right?"

"Yes, this is definitely the case on the surface. After all, if it is only aimed at the domestic market, Europe and the United States will definitely keep an eye on it."

"But I will gradually focus on the domestic market."

"Mr. Liao, I have another purpose for doing this. The return of international students has always been a problem."

"If they really plan not to come back, we will be in a passive position in many cases."

"I set up this fund with the idea of ​​turning passivity into initiative. Those who are willing to receive funding can sign work reward agreements with my overseas companies at different levels, such as three years, five years, or ten years."

"That is to say, after they finish their studies, they can either choose to return home, or if they stay, they must first work in my company for a certain number of years."

"We can take this opportunity to continue to select outstanding talents from among them. Even if they choose not to return to China, they can still contribute to our construction from another perspective."

"Even if there are enough academic talents among them, we can increase our training efforts in disguise. Once they have academic or research breakthroughs, it will also be a good thing for us."

"This is actually a disguised form of united front work. Outstanding Chinese students from Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia can also be used by us in disguised form, and even exert a certain influence internationally in the future."

Li Changhe said seriously.

Sometimes, the reason why international students don’t come back is not entirely because they lack patriotism. It can only be said that the country really cannot provide the conditions for some directions.

Just like the Nobel Prize winner Mr. Yang, it was difficult to provide suitable conditions for his theoretical research in China at that time. Although Mr. Yang did not come back when he was young, he acted as a bridge and provided China with a lot of scientific research resources and communication opportunities. This is actually a disguised contribution.

What Li Changhe needs to do is to expand more bridges and maximize the benefits of the lost human resources as much as possible.

Mr. Liao sat there, looking thoughtful.

“So you want me to report it and let this fund come in?”

After a moment, Mr. Liao continued to ask.

Li Changhe nodded frankly: "Yes, Mr. Liao, the best way to deal with this matter is for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take the lead in introducing it. In this way, all schools will cooperate and students will also recognize it."

"If we only rely on our own publicity, it will be difficult to carry out due to various concerns."

If this is really to be launched in China, not in the name of the official, but it certainly needs official endorsement to eliminate the concerns of schools and students.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this matter is to take the initiative through diplomacy to bring in this fund.

"This matter is not just a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it also involves the Ministry of Education, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must first hold a joint meeting with the Ministry of Education to discuss it before we can give you a reply."

"But I think your idea is very good. The country is in financial difficulties now, and it is difficult to support a large number of students to study abroad. Although self-funded study abroad has opened a way, we all know that this is a business of throwing meat buns at dogs, and there is no return."

"But yours can be regarded as providing some remedies for the country. Let's have a meeting to discuss it first, and then I will do my best to promote this matter."

At this time, Mr. Liao gave Li Changhe a reassurance.

Hearing this, Li Changhe nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Liao."

"Hey, actually we should thank you, Changhe. I know that you are doing this for the country."

"To be honest, I am very happy to see you take such an action. This shows that sending you out was a very correct move."

"You didn't mislead us."

Mr. Liao also sighed at this moment.

"dong dong dong"

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the study door, followed by Aunt Jing's voice outside.

"Are you guys done chatting? It's time to come out and eat dumplings."
