441. The project was launched
The place mentioned by Ding Yiming is located in Zhaojiagou Village, Shilong Township, Ancuo County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province.
After the establishment of the Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation, he quickly prepared to rush to Zhaojiagou Village.
The road was rough, and even if the team was a land patrol with excellent off-road performance, it felt like riding a boat.
All the way to Zhaojiagou Village, everyone got off the bus from Lu Xun.
There are only some old people and children left in Zhaojiagou Village, and the younger ones have gone out to work.
In the face of such a large group of people, the originally peaceful small village seemed a little flustered.
Chen Dongcheng didn't rush to speak, and looked at the countryside carefully.
The earthen houses on both sides look like they are some years old, and many children around seven or eight years old are helping the old people do some housework as much as they can.
Compared with the children in the big city, these children in the mountains are more sensible.
"Who are you?"
After a while, an old man dressed in ordinary clothes walked out, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked a little vicissitudes.
"Village Chief Zhao, don't you know me, I'm Ding Yiming!"
Ding Yiming walked out from behind Chen Dongcheng and said with a smile.
The old man looked at Ding Yiming carefully a few times, and slapped his forehead suddenly: "I remember, it's Xiao Ding, you have been with Chunsheng's baby once before, are you planning to ...... this time?"
"Village Chief Zhao, this time is a good thing, this is my boss, he wants to build a hope primary school for Zhaojia Village, so that the children can have books, food, and a place to live. ”
"Really?"
Village Chief Zhao was stunned, hurriedly grabbed Chen Dongcheng's hand, and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, you are such a good person, the children in the village are too bitter, and I, the village chief, are incapable of ......"
Chen Dongcheng gently patted the village chief and comforted him softly: "No matter when, children are the future of the motherland, Zhaojiagou Village is just the first stop of our public welfare foundation, and there will be more poor villages with hope primary schools in the future." ”
"Good! great!"
Village Chief Zhao took Chen Dongcheng's hand and greeted the villagers with a smile: "Everyone hurry up, let's cook and feast on these distinguished guests at noon." ”
"Village Chief Zhao, we came this time, brought some rice oil and the like, and I will trouble you to share it with each family later. ”
Chen Dongcheng pointed to the ten land patrol vehicles behind him, and some bodyguards opened the trunk, revealing bags of rice and barrels of soybean oil.
"Alas, the conditions in our mountains are difficult, and we are usually reluctant to use oil, so I will distribute this rice oil. ”
Village Chief Zhao sighed, the situation in Zhaojiagou Village is not something that he can change as a village head.
The village chief's house is slightly better, but the good ones are limited.
"Don't dislike it, thin wine and vegetarian dishes, this is the situation in the mountains. ”
Village Chief Zhao worked hard for a long time and made five or six dishes, all of which were made from local ready-made vegetables.
The total cost of this table of dishes does not exceed fifty yuan.
In a first-tier city, what can fifty yuan do?
Buy two cups of milk tea?
But in Zhaojiagou Village, it is enough to entertain a table of distinguished guests.
Although the taste of the dishes was average, Chen Dongcheng and the others were quite happy to eat.
Coming here, eating is not the goal.
The main thing is to look at the situation of the original school, and then choose a site to build a new campus.
After eating, Village Chief Zhao asked his wife to clean up and took Chen Dongcheng and them to the only primary school in Zhaojiagou Village.
Along the way, Village Chief Zhao also introduced the situation of Zhaojiagou Village.
There are more than 2,000 people in Zhaojiagou Village, scattered among the towering mountains.
The road from the village to the school is very difficult to walk, and even adults have to be careful.
A group of seven or eight-year-old children can imagine how dangerous it can be to walk this road.
"When I arrived, there was Zhaojiagou Village Primary School in front. ”
Village Chief Zhao pointed to an old ancestral house in front of him and shouted inside: "Zhao Jun." ”
"It's coming. ”
Out of the ancestral house came a middle-aged man in his early forties, dressed ordinary, but with bright eyes.
Village Chief Zhao pointed at Chen Dongcheng and introduced with a smile: "This is Boss Chen from the city, don't you know Xiao Ding? Xiao Ding is working for Boss Chen." ”
"Brother Zhao. ”
Ding Yiming also smiled and waved at Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun looked very pleasantly surprised, it had been three or four years since he last met Ding Yiming.
But it was precisely because of the books donated by Ding Yiming and them that the children in Zhaojiagou Village would not be left without books to read.
"Haha, why don't you tell me in advance, I'll let your sister-in-law cook two dishes in the evening, and let's have a few drinks." ”
After Zhao Jun and Ding Yiming hugged, they were a little curious: "Why is your boss so young?"
Ding Yiming said with a smile: "I am now the initiator of the Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation, Brother Zhao, how much money do you guess our foundation has?"
Zhao Jun glanced at Chen Dongcheng up and down, and estimated that it should be a rich second-generation fool: "One million?"
"Less. ”
Ding Yiming smiled and stretched out a palm: "Five hundred million." ”
"Really?"
Zhao Jun looked at Ding Yiming in horror, and found that Ding Yiming's face was as usual, and he immediately knew that the other party was not joking.
He is one of the very few literate people in Zhaojiagou Village.
When he was admitted to university, he and his younger brother resolutely returned to Zhaojiagou Village, hoping to let more children in the village go out.
But after so many years, there are very few students in Zhaojiagou Village who can pass the exam every year.
Even the only elementary school is a bit unsuccessful.
Every time I see the children in the village taking great risks, climbing mountains and wading through rivers to come to school.
Zhao Jun's heart was like being cut by a knife.
On the other side, Village Chief Zhao was also introducing the situation of this primary school to Chen Dongcheng.
The founder of Zhaojiagou Village Primary School is Zhao Jun's father, and the house used by the teaching site is the ancestral home of the Zhao family.
The most ordinary wooden structure, three houses, and the number of students has always remained above 100.
Zhao Jun, his wife, and his younger brother Zhao Kai became the only three teachers in Zhaojiagou Village.
Under the recommendation of Village Chief Zhao, Zhao Kai also came out to meet Chen Dongcheng and them to say hello.
Unlike his brother, who is already married and has children, Zhao Kai is still thirty-five years old and has not yet married a wife and had children.
It can be said that he dedicated his youth to these children in the mountains.
Zhao Jun mentioned his introverted younger brother, a little helpless: "Xiao Kai came back with me after graduating from college, I haven't met a suitable one, our family's income occasionally has to buy some books, tables and chairs, Xiao Kai is not married now, I feel very guilty in my heart." ”
"Brother, it was my own decision to go back to the village with you, I don't blame you, it was the village chief and the old people who made up enough for my tuition, and I can't forget my roots. ”
Zhao Kai shook his head with a smile, his eyes were extremely clear: "And we have seen the outside world, we can't be so selfish, we should let the children also have the opportunity to go out." ”
Since it is an ancestral house, it is certain that it will fall into disrepair.
Stepping on the wooden stairs, Chen Dongcheng suspected that someone who was too fat might step on it.
As for the classroom where the children were in class, there was only a blackboard with broken corners and a few black desks and chairs.
This is the panorama of Zhaojiagou Village Primary School.
Chen Dongcheng was accompanied by several Foundation staff members, who were responsible for taking photographs to record the scene.
When the time comes, it will be posted on the official website, so that netizens can understand the differences before and after the transformation of the Cao Cao Foundation.
"Boss Chen, our village has always wanted to build a primary school.
Xiao Jun and Xiao Kai have also raised many times, but they have gained little.
The state stipulates that as long as more than 50% of the funds can be raised, the remaining project funds will be matched by the government. ”
Village Chief Zhao didn't know about Chen Dongcheng's situation, but regardless of whether Chen Dongcheng was a show, he had other purposes.
As long as the children in the village can have a clean and comfortable classroom, even if he is allowed to tell lies with his conscience, he is willing.
"Village Chief Zhao, we also understand the policy you mentioned, since the Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation has decided to build Hope Primary School, it will definitely not come according to the minimum standards. ”
Chen Dongcheng smiled and comforted Village Chief Zhao, "I will ask Ding Yiming to contact the Ancuo County Government, and the Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation will donate three million, and as for the amount of government support, it is up to them to decide." ”
"Three million?"
Village Chief Zhao was stunned, originally he thought that Chen Dongcheng could donate one million, which was enough to surprise.
Three million, it made him want to run all over the village and tell the good news to the children in the village.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded, "Three million is our bottom line."
No matter how much the government matches, the Hope Primary School built by our Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation will definitely not be lower than this number.
The safety of Hope Primary School must be guaranteed, and the earthquake resistance level must meet national standards. ”
"Great, there is hope for the children in the village. ”
Village Chief Zhao danced excitedly, and Zhao Jun and Zhao Kai couldn't stop being happy.
If you raise one million for self-construction, the government will match one million for renovation, which is a total budget of two million.
But now the Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation directly contributes 3 million, even if the government only matches 1 million, it is a real investment of 4 million.
In the mountains of poverty, building a hope primary school for 4 million is definitely a luxury and boundless business.
For Chen Dongcheng, it is just the money to buy a car, but it can change the fate of hundreds of children.
Money is a thing that everyone likes.
But only knowing the blind consumption enjoyment is not the real god.
The real Shenhao should be responsible and responsible.
I only know consumption and enjoyment all day long, what is the difference between the moth that eats and waits for death?
Especially when I saw a simple little face, eyes full of curiosity.
Chen Dongcheng's heart was hit hard.
The first project of Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation, Zhaojiagou Village Hope Primary School, was officially launched.
The Ancuo County Government, which learned the news, attached great importance to it, and this is a domestic Internet giant with assets of tens of billions of US dollars.
For a remote county, it is definitely a surprise that such an Internet giant pays attention to their small county.
Ancuo County's response was very timely, and it was willing to match 1 million renovation funds to increase the total budget of Zhaojiagou Village Hope Primary School to 4 million.
At the same time, in order to eliminate the concerns of Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation, the construction of Hope Primary School was entrusted to the other party.
After the signing photo was uploaded to the Internet, many netizens saw the vigorous and resolute actions of the Cao Cao Public Welfare Foundation.
Yesterday, a press conference was held, and the investment plan was finalized in the background.
There are a lot of caring people, but they are sad to be played by those charitable foundations that play bullshit.
In the face of Cao Cao's Public Welfare Foundation, which does not raise funds from the society and is simply funded by the group, all netizens raise their hands in agreement.
