Chapter 346: Investing in the Future

At the beginning of September, it's the beginning of the school year!

After the short summer vacation, a new semester is about to begin.

Located in the hinterland of the motherland, in the southwest province, deep in the steep mountains, the Wei brothers and sisters are braving the drizzle and walking along the familiar mountain path to Panshan Primary School.

Today is the first day of school!

Wei Dong, who has just entered the fifth grade, is holding his sister Wei Qian with his right hand, covering his trouser pocket with his left hand, and his eyes are extremely vigilant.

Tuition in your pocket!

His parents work outside the home all the year round, and there are only two people in the family, he and his sister. Wei Dong, who is already eleven years old, is far more mature than his peers in the city.

On the mountain road of more than ten miles, my sister couldn't walk halfway through, so he squatted down and walked with his sister on his back.

At half past eight, I arrived at the school.

Panshan Primary School, with only three grades and twelve students. The school building is a low-rise bungalow with three classrooms and an office that doubles as the principal's bedroom.

Just wanted to hand over the tuition fees to the principal, Wei Dong found that a group of strangers dressed in "fancy clothes" came to the school, and the principal was boiling water and making tea for them.

What fancy dress?

There's a panda on the coat!

Next to the panda man, there are four more artistic words. It was far away before, and Wei Dong didn't see it clearly. It wasn't until I got closer that I recognized that it read "Pengda Group".

The panda man at the head smiled with short-sighted glasses: "Principal Yang, take us to the classroom to have a look! The equipment is ready-made, and the network cable will be ...... for you tomorrow."

"What a waste!"

Principal Yang put down the kettle, sighed and replied in slightly accented Mandarin: "Mr. Yao, I have received your company's wishes, so let's ship the equipment back!"

"There are only 12 students in Panshan Primary School, and I am the only teacher. With such advanced equipment and more than a dozen kilometers of network cables, it is really a waste for us to use. ”

The panda man surnamed Yao shook his head and said: "As long as it is an investment in the future, there is no such thing as waste." We always say that we can not only focus on the immediate gains and losses, but also look to the future......"

"Oh! I can't tell you!"

Principal Yang sighed, and just wanted to get up and take the panda people to visit the classroom, when he suddenly saw Wei Dong holding a handful of change at the door and was at a loss.

He beckoned.

Wei Dong timidly walked into the office and greeted the panda man on the bench: "Hello uncle!"

"Good boy!"

A shy face, mud-stained trouser legs, and little hands that don't know where to go. Such a simple and simple child made the panda people present full of love.

After Principal Yang accepted the money and issued two receipts to Wei Dong, he suddenly thought of something and asked Wei Dong to take the panda people to visit the classroom.

He boiled some boiling water!

Wei Dong is very sensible and roughly understands the intention of this group of panda people. I took them to visit Panshan Primary School very seriously, and I didn't even let go of the rat hole in the corner of the classroom.

The panda man measured the blackboard, and after a while of discussion, he quickly left Panshan Elementary School.

They had just finished their two morning classes and they were back. There are more pandas this time, more than a dozen. They carried a batch of supplies on their shoulders and other means.

"Such a big mirror!"

Seeing that Wei Qian was carefully touching the TV, Wei Dong hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't move! This is not a mirror!"

"And what is this?"

"TV!"

Is there such a thin TV?

Wei Qian was very strange, in her impression, TVs don't all have a "big ass"? how can it be so thin? And the screen is so big, it's almost up to the blackboard.

When the panda man took out the tools and began to install the equipment, Wei Qian believed what his brother said.

It turned out to be a real TV!

Uncle Pandaren is so nice that he installed a TV in the classroom, so they can watch TV at school in the future.

But why doesn't the TV turn on?

The panda man left a sentence of "come tomorrow to pull the network cable" and left,Principal Yang can't understand why this TV doesn't light up when plugged in。

Faced with twelve children eager to learn, he scratched his head, quickly took out the manual from the box, and began to figure out how to light up the screen.

"Pengda online education platform?"

"Smart Voice Assistant ......"

Why can't I understand it!

Principal Yang was scratching his head, Wei Dong caught a glimpse of a line on the manual, and suddenly shouted to the TV: "Big Bird!

"Okay!

The screen lit up......

Among the tall buildings, a dark black chariot drove from far to near. As the distance got closer and closer, the locomotive suddenly began to deform, and the armor covered Meng Lang on the car.

PD knights make a cross-waisted appearance!

"Big Bird, for you!"

The children's eyes showed a hint of surprise and incredulity. Boys, in particular, can't close their mouths.

......

"Spent so much money?"

Meng Lang put down the report, rubbed his temples and asked, "In the past two months, why has the expenditure increased several times?"

"It's different!"

Ma Teng reported truthfully: "The previous Pengda classrooms generally chose schools with convenient transportation. Since July, the project has gradually penetrated into schools in mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation and poor network ......"

That's pretty much it!

In mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation, the cost of laying a network is really high. Based on this premise, it is actually reasonable to spend more than 10 million yuan in two months.

Think of it as investing in the future!

"Our online education platform has opened up 1,000 primary and secondary schools in remote areas, covering more than 50,000 students. ”

Ma Teng said with enthusiasm: "In addition to the special funds allocated by the group, we have also received many materials donated by enterprises and individuals. For example, Huawei Company not only provided us with a smart screen at cost price, but also gave away a lot of router products. ”

No wonder it's progressing so fast!

Although it is a public welfare project that does not seek to return, the launch of Pengda's online education platform has a deeper idea.

Make money by putting ads?

You underestimate Meng Lang too much!

How much money can there be in advertising expenses? They all said that they want to invest in the future, would Uncle Meng do this stupid thing of throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds?

The main function of Pengda's online education platform is to share educational resources, followed by PD free film library. As long as it is a work under PD, whether it is a movie, a TV series, or an animated film, it is all free to watch!

Would you like to see something else?

Sorry, the platform doesn't offer it!

Pengda classrooms now cover 50,000 students, and as the project progresses, it may be 100,000 or even 200,000 or even 200,000 in the future!

That's an amazing statistic!

Don't look at their current white prostitute Pengda's film library, when they grow up and have a stable income, they will definitely have to return a lot of money to Uncle Meng.

Feelings cultivated from an early age!

If one day, Pengda really comes to the critical moment of life and death, Meng Lang plays this emotional card, hoping that the children of the year will lend a hand.

Can they sit idly by?

The story of "owing Xing Ye a movie ticket" has proved how terrible the power of feelings is. The seeds planted by Meng Lang today will definitely become Pengda's most valuable wealth in the future.
