Chapter 109 School
After distributing the 500 yuan pension to each person, Captain Qin asked the accountant to count the remaining money.
The beads on the abacus in the accountant's hand clattered loudly. It was the first time in his life that he had to calculate such a large sum of money!
"Captain, we still have fifteen thousand dollars left after setting aside money to build the school."
The accountant continued to calculate, muttering
"Fifteen thousand. Excluding the Cao family, there are three hundred and sixty people left in our village. If we divide it equally, each person can get forty-one yuan and sixty-six cents!"
"Good!" The captain took the lead and shouted good.
"Good! Good!" When the onlookers heard that they could share more than 40 yuan, they all cheered together. Boss Ye is such a good man!
Just over 40 yuan. Every family has five or six people. Now they have earned more than 200 yuan. They are rich!
The Ye family is such good people!
After the money was divided, Captain Qin wanted to say a few polite words, but when he looked up, no one was there.
There was not even a mouse in the huge venue. They all went home to count their money.
"Oh my, this money went around and around, and I didn't expect a lot of it to come back to us."
Jin Fenglian spat on her hand and started counting the money in her hand. She was not satisfied after counting it once, so she counted it again.
"There are five of us in my family, and that's two hundred and eight dollars and thirty cents. All set!"
I stuffed it into my pocket with satisfaction, then looked up and found that someone seemed to be missing?
"Hey, why is Lin missing?"
Zhao Zhaodi glared at her and said, "All he cares about is money. He left Lindu a long time ago, saying he was discussing building a school with the team leader."
Brigade Office
"Thanks to Nephew Ye, our village can finally have a prosperous New Year."
Captain Qin started smiling as soon as he saw Ye Lin, and the wrinkles on his face never relaxed. Who doesn’t like the God of Wealth?
"Uncle Qin has a good governance. This is just a small token of my appreciation. The development of our village still depends on your care, Uncle Qin."
"Haha, come on, nephew Ye, come and sit down."
After exchanging some pleasantries with Captain Qin, the two began to discuss school matters.
The previous discussions were all good, but the two had different opinions on school infrastructure.
Captain Qin thought that it was good enough for the children in the village to have an education, so why bother with all that Western-style stuff? It was a waste of money.
"Nephew Ye, there's no school in our area that has a study room or a media room. Children can learn to read, right? Why are we doing this?"
Ye Lin put down his teacup, propped up his chin and thought for a while, then began to prepare to reform Captain Qin's thinking.
"Uncle Qin, we can save on everything except education. Why is our village so poor? Are we poor because of the people? No, we are poor because of our thinking. So how can we change our thinking? Only reading can change thinking, only exploration can change thinking, and the children now lack the means to explore."
Ye Lin was still lobbying, but Captain Qin's mind had long been empty and he began to wander around.
He felt like this was just like a meeting, and he began to not understand his leader's instructions again.
What is thinking?
What is exploration?
After the exploration, this person will become rich?
Is he still able to explore at his age?
Finally, Ye Lin made the decision that the school would first build twenty tile-roofed classrooms, a multimedia classroom that could show movies, a reading room, a multi-functional activity room and a study room, and would also need to be equipped with a school cafeteria.
Fortunately, prices were low in the 1970s, and a budget of 20,000 yuan was barely enough.
Now it costs about 500 yuan to build a good tile house.
Captain Qin looked at the houses, classrooms, and classrooms listed on the paper, and suddenly felt distressed.
This kid really treats money like paper. We need to build at least 25 tiled houses, a kitchen, and a bigger movie theater, right? Five hundred is definitely not enough.
Captain Qin said to Ye Lin in embarrassment, "Nephew Ye, do you think we can save some money? Building this house will cost at least 15,000 yuan, and we haven't even calculated the cost of tables, chairs, benches, and teacher salaries."
Captain Qin originally wanted to build a few rows of earthen houses, which would cost at most three or four thousand yuan, and keep the rest of the money to pay the teachers' salaries, which could last for more than ten years. It would be a piece of cake to run a free school.
After Ye Lin’s calculation, it turned out that the huge sum of 20,000 yuan was not enough to support his child’s education. How could he let his child go to school for free?
Seeing Captain Qin's anxious face, Ye Lin stood up, pulled him back to sit down, and told him his subsequent plans.
"Uncle Qin, let's use these 20,000 yuan to build the school first. Later, I plan to invest in a factory in our village. I'll give a portion of the factory's annual profits to the school. That'll be all."
Set up a factory!
Captain Qin didn't hear anything else except the words "establish a factory".
Without caring about school matters, Captain Qin hurriedly asked
"Nephew Ye, what kind of factory should we open?"
Ye Lin is inclined towards the electronics industry, but the production of electronic products requires a large amount of capital investment and a large number of highly skilled personnel, which is not suitable for him who is broke and for Xiahe Village where most people are illiterate.
However, in the past two days, he found that villagers came in groups of three or four to borrow clothes from Jin Fenglian and others, and went back to learn how to cut the cloth. Within a day, many fashion experts appeared in the village.
The black, blue and gray fabrics have been given a fresh look, adding a touch of scenery to the village.
A garment factory might be a good choice.
Small investment, low threshold,
Moreover, he saw that the people in Xiahe Village were quite skillful.
"Uncle Qin, I'm from our village. The first factory I'll build after returning to the mainland will naturally be built in our village. I still need to think about the specific regulations. I'll tell you when they're finalized."
"Of course, we'll give priority to people from our village when hiring. Don't worry about that, Uncle Qin."
Captain Qin was waiting for Ye Lin to say this!
Why did they want Ye Lin to set up a factory? Wasn't it just to give the people a salary?
"Okay, nephew Ye, I'm relieved by your words. You can see that our village is really poor. In the past, we had to go to other villages to get education. Now that we have a factory, our village can finally hold its head high in the brigade."
After everything was discussed, Ye Lin stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked about the captain Bai Wei.
"Uncle Qin, Xiaoling hasn't seen her mother in a long time. You see, it's not far away. When can we let her see her mother?"
The captain knew that Ye Lin would ask this question, and he patted his chest to assure Ye Lin
"Don't worry, nephew Ye. I think the leaders are also willing to rehabilitate Bai Wei. It will be a matter of two days. Go back and tell the child not to worry. You can trust Uncle Qin to do his job."
After seeing Ye Lin off, Captain Qin strolled back to his desk humming a little tune, picked up the phone to report Ye Lin's intentions to the county leaders, and asked what to do about Bai Wei's matter.
When Ye Lin donated gold to the village, he mentioned Bai Wei's matter in a subtle way.
Today, when the team leader went to see the leaders, he specifically asked about it. The leaders were a little reluctant and did not refuse. They said they would hold a meeting to discuss it and asked him to come back and wait for news.
But now Boss Ye wants to invest in the factory again, so Bai Wei’s matter can’t be delayed any longer, right?
Just like what Captain Qin thought,
When the higher-ups heard that Ye Lin was intending to invest in a factory in the local area, and that he had donated 50,000 yuan without saying a word, they felt it was not appropriate to make things difficult for him, so they held an emergency meeting to discuss the issue of rehabilitating Bai Wei.
Ye Lin left the brigade office and was walking towards Ye's house with Ah Hui. Before he had taken a few steps, he was suddenly stopped by Ah Hui and stood behind him.
"What happened to Ah Hui?"
Ah Hui, who usually smiles happily, changed his usual style and looked ahead with vigilant eyes.
"Master, there are people hiding around the corner ahead. They might be gangsters."
It was a serious scene originally, but after Ah Hui's analysis, Ye Lin just wanted to give him a slap on the back of his head.
I'm going to go see it myself, bypassing Ah Hui.
"This isn't Hong Kong. Where do the gangs come from? The gangs are in the bullpen."
Seeing the young master walk away so arrogantly, Ah Hui hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, Master, please walk behind me!"
