Chapter 84 Investment
It seems that Aunt Zhou has already mentioned to Niu Niu about going to school in Xincheng.
Jiang Zhao said: "It depends on which aspect."
"Mingyuan has a big playground, a new teaching building, and excellent teachers," she said. "But going to Mingyuan is just an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people."
"How new are they?" Zhou Lingyi's eyes lit up. "Are the tables and chairs all new? Is there air conditioning?"
Jiang Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, there is air conditioning. It can be turned on in cold or hot weather. You can turn it on at will."
Jiang Zhao remembers that when she was studying at Tong'an No. 1 Primary School, the classroom still burned charcoal in winter.
A kettle is placed on top of the charcoal stove, which provides heat for the entire winter.
"Wow." Zhou Lingyi exclaimed, "That's great. Sister Jiang, if I can also get into Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School, can I get into a key university?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhao nodded.
Considering Mingyuan's 100% admission rate to key universities, it's perfectly reasonable to say so, but she added, "You still have to study hard."
Zhou Lingyi leaned back in her seat and sighed, "You guys are amazing! Tong'an No. 1 Middle School only had four students admitted to the top universities last year. My mom said your school had all of them. I thought she was lying."
Children in big cities may set their future goals early on.
But in Tong'an County, due to the backward overall education level, parents don't understand, and children naturally have no way to learn.
Considering Zhou Lingyi's age, she was already considered mature at a young age in Tong'an County.
As she spoke, she blinked and looked at Jiang Zhao: "Sister Jiang, how many points did you get in the exam?"
Jiang Zhao answered truthfully: "Seven hundred and three, but I'm in the first year of high school now, so it doesn't count."
"Wow." Zhou Lingyi sighed again, but she automatically ignored the following words: "The first place in Tongan No. 1 Middle School is only 590."
"How do you know that?"
"During the summer vacation, they used loudspeakers for several days to announce that someone had scored 590 on the test. The whole county knew about it."
Zhou Lingyi looked at Jiang Zhao with admiration and finally made up her mind: "Then I will go. I want to take the entrance exam for a key university."
"Okay, you're ambitious." Jiang Zhao held out her hand. "Then I'll wait for you."
Zhou Lingyi high-fived her.
The car drove to the downstairs of Jiang Zhao's house.
When Jiang Zhao returned home, the visitor had already left.
Seeing that Jiang Wei seemed to be lost in thought, Jiang Zhao asked, "Dad, who was that just now?"
Jiang Wei said: "People in the county want me to come back and invest in building a factory."
Jiang Wei made his fortune in his early years by selling goods on the Internet. He took advantage of the Internet boom and built up his company, which was then gradually expanded to other industries. Although his focus is now on real estate and logistics, he also has several self-operated manufacturing plants.
But if we build a factory in Tong'an County, not to mention the human resource issue, Tong'an County is surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult for trucks to come up. If we can't transport the goods out, who will we sell them to?
It's no different from throwing money away.
But Jiang Wei can accept wasting money to promote consumption in his hometown and improve the company's image.
Jiang Wei was still considering it when Jiang Zhao said, "Dad, I need your investment too."

Every Chinese New Year, Luo Yan's home is very lively.
Relatives, friends, students...
There was an endless stream of visitors, like ants that had discovered food, exchanging signals and then swarming out of the nest.
Luo Wenchuan was making a phone call in the house, and he could faintly hear something about adjustments and projects.
Xu Xin was chatting with someone in the living room. She pointed at Luo Yan and said with regret, "He hasn't scored higher than any girl in his class in the past few exams, and no one scored higher in science this time. There are also talented kids out there."
Although Xu Xin said this, that was not what she wanted to hear.
The person she was chatting with clearly understood: "Oh, that's Mingyuan. I'll be so lucky if my child can get into the college this year or next year. He comes home every day and doesn't study. It's been a few days since the winter break, and I see he hasn't even touched a single word of his winter break homework."
Another person said, "My little monkey is the same. Besides, Xiaoyan does well in competitions."
"She is better than me in competition." Luo Yan suddenly said.
The conversation of several people was interrupted. Xu Xin smiled and said: "The child is shy. He feels embarrassed for not getting first place."
Luo Yan was about to say something when his cell phone rang. He glanced at the person who sent the message, and without arguing with Xu Xin and the others, he turned around and went back to the bedroom.
He closed the door and opened WeChat.
Jiang: Deskmate, guess what I did today?
Since Jiang Zhao asked, it definitely wasn’t about New Year’s greetings.
Luo Yan: Loop?
Jiang: ...
Jiang: Can I forget?
Luo Yan: I can’t guess that.
Jiang: I went to save the world.
Just now, Jiang Zhao asked Jiang Wei directly if he could invest some money in their school.
Jiang Wei didn't react and thought she was talking about Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School: "Does your school still need investment?"
"That's certainly not the school we have now."
The investment target that Jiang Zhao mentioned was naturally not the wealthy Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School. She was talking about Tong'an No. 1 Primary School.
But when Jiang Wei mentioned middle schools, Jiang Zhao jumped at the chance: "I'd have no objection if you could donate to Tong'an No. 1 Middle School, too. At least that would guarantee nine years of compulsory education."
Jiang Zhao could see that Jiang Wei was interested in investing in his hometown, and looking at his conflicted expression, he knew that it was most likely a project that would lose money but gain publicity.
Since it's just burning money, it doesn't matter where you burn it.
Jiang Zhao began his "project description": "Investing in a school can not only help your company establish a good corporate image, but also cultivate talents. After graduation, they will work in your company, which is conducive to employee loyalty and the long-term development of the company."
Jiang Wei thought for a moment and joked, "Given the admission rate of Tong'an No. 1 Middle School, it's unlikely that he'll be able to get in."
Jiang Zhao thought without hesitation: "This is putting cause and effect first. It's precisely because the school environment is poor that the enrollment rate is not high. If the enrollment rate is low, it's natural that we can't find good teachers, can't recruit good students, and can't get good grades. It's a vicious cycle. I need my father's generous donation as the key to breaking the deadlock."
Jiang Wei originally just wanted to tease Jiang Zhao, but he didn't expect that his daughter was so well-reasoned and eloquent both from a business perspective and from a logical point of view.
Jiang Wei laughed and agreed.
I just need to stay in Tong'an County for a few more days.
Jiang Zhao said this with a sad expression.
Jiang: It seems we have to wait until the training to see each other.
Luo Yan: Okay.
After sending it, I felt that a one-word reply seemed cold.
Luo Yan: Waiting for you to come back.
At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Luo Yan was pulled back to reality and he opened the door.
Xu Xin stood at the door, smiling gently: "Xiao Yan, it's time to go and pay New Year's greetings."
Luo Yan let out a long breath. He really didn't like this boring trick of playing the role of "a happy family", but Xu Xin and Luo Wenchuan seemed to be immersed in the praise of the people around them and their successful lives, and they never got tired of it.
It makes people wonder if the mask has been worn for so long that it cannot be taken off and has become a part of the face.
They are disgusting.
And I feel disgusted for cooperating with them and playing the role of a good student.
Xu Xin was completely oblivious and continued, "That uncle's kid is in his third year of junior high today and wants to join the competition. He wants to learn from you. My son is the main character, so he has to go today."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"What?" Xu Xin looked at him in surprise.
Luo Yan repeated: "What does he have to do with me?"
