Chapter 206 Poverty Alleviation through Enterprises
On New Year's Day 2014, the online taxi burning war set off by the two major Internet travel companies was in full swing, but Han Hao quietly left the front-line commander and went to another place.
A convoy of seven Range Rover SUVs is driving between the winding mountain roads of the cliffs. The surging power and outstanding handling sensation make the Range Rover SUV, which has been trapped in the urban road circle, fully release itself and make the performance to the fullest.
Han Hao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with both hands, and the crisp roar of the Land Rover engine was heard in his ears from time to time.
It seems that not only Range Rover SUVs, but even the richest man in South Korea has also gained a lot of long-lost fun in this mountain trip.
The years have changed, and 20 years have passed, and Han Hao is still the teenager who loves to run mountains.
It's just that the car has changed from two wheels to four wheels, and people have evolved from being alone to a family of four.
The Range Rover SUV that makes up the team is powered by the 3.0T engine of the PG40, which burns diesel!
That's right, due to the business lines of Yuchai, XCMG and Zhonghua Heavy Truck, Zhonghua Group's research and development of diesel engines has continued for many years. Since the high-pressure common rail technology has been overcome, the field of diesel engines has made rapid progress as if it had been opened up, and the diesel engines developed by Zhonghua Group have caught up with their world counterparts and reached the world-class level.
If it weren't for the engine's eye-catching logo, the PG40 diesel engine would have behaved like a gasoline engine in terms of the vehicle's appearance and driving experience.
The noise of the diesel engine and the visible smoke in the exhaust pipe have been completely improved with the advancement of technology.
Benefiting from the huge diesel engine market in China, the engineers of Zhonghua Group can continue to improve in practice, and directly raise the business level in this field to the world-class level.
It is no exaggeration to say that the diesel engines used by Zhonghua Group in heavy trucks and heavy machinery have begun to lead the world trend. The autonomous high-pressure common rail system alone has evolved to the third generation and is further integrated and intelligent. The maximum pressure value of the high-pressure common rail system has also soared from 20MPa by 10 times to 200MPa, surpassing the products of the old giant Bosch.
By the way, the engine of China's most advanced main battle tank, Type 99, was provided by the 801 branch of the former Shaanxi Automobile Company under the Zhonghua Group, which provided a strong and durable heart for it to become a world-class tank corps.
"Dad, the scenery is so beautiful!"
Han Hao's eldest son looked out of the car window and couldn't help but admire.
The car walks in the mountains, and the people swim in the clouds, like a fairyland, which makes the children who have been living in the city very novel.
"Back then, your mother taught here during the summer vacation, and then my father and I secretly traveled thousands of miles to ride alone. It made her happy for several days, and every day she changed into new clothes and dangled in front of my eyes. Those good days are really memorable, like they happened yesterday. ”
While reminiscing and smiling, Han Hao answered.
"How do I remember who was smiling at the sight of my mouth? buzzing behind me like a little bee for days. ”
Chen Lingxi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but complain about her husband, trying to clarify the facts of the year.
"And then you guys are getting married right here!"
The eldest son struggled to find the most appropriate sentence from what he learned on TV.
"Haha, he is worthy of being the son of the old Han family, and he can always grasp the key point in one sentence......"
In the midst of laughter, Han Hao's family and the convoy arrived at the destination - Chenjiawan in the Taihang Mountains.
As the place where the couple are married, both of them have a deep affection for Chen Jiawan.
The "Haoxi Education Foundation" jointly established by Han Hao and his wife was the construction of Chenjiawan Primary School.
The foundation was set up to help children in poor mountainous areas go to school, with the guiding ideology of "poverty alleviation first and wisdom first". At the same time, it has set the ambitious goal of building 500 Hope Project primary and secondary schools within six years, and subsidizing no less than 100,000 poor students to go to school every year.
Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Haikou boasted back then has now been realized one by one, and the task has been overfulfilled.
The "Haoxi Education Foundation" has become the largest private education foundation in China, with 618 primary and secondary schools completed in remote and poor areas across the country in six years, and another 23 schools are still under construction. In addition, a total of 1.02 million underprivileged students were given the opportunity to continue their education, covering all ages and between primary and secondary schools.
It can be said that Han Hao and his wife have fulfilled their promise to repay the society with practical actions, and inadvertently changed the fate of many poor rural students.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"
As soon as the motorcade arrived at the seat of the Chenjiawan Township Government, the primary and secondary school students on the side of the road waved flowers and shouted slogans to welcome the guests from afar under the organization of the teacher.
Many of them don't know who they are, but they know that they are people who can make a difference in their hometowns. After all, the characters who can make teachers and township cadres nervous and scared should have a big background.
Such a big battle really scared the richest man in Han, he had ordered him to keep a low profile before he came, but he didn't expect it to make a huge noise.
The local government has indeed dealt with it in a low-key manner, and originally wanted to ask the province and city to send art troupes to support, but now it is just letting Chenjiawan Township organize its own welcome team.
As soon as I got off the bus, children wearing school uniforms greeted me and presented flowers, which was really warm and thoughtful.
"Students, as well as fellow villagers, are so enthusiastic!"
Thanking the children for the flowers, and waving to the welcoming crowd around him, Han Hao then said to the local officials in charge of the reception.
"As soon as everyone heard that it was the enthusiastic people who donated the school back to visit, they all spontaneously organized to thank you, which is a piece of the hearts of the villagers.
Don't forget to dig wells when drinking water, we are not people who don't repay kindness. ”
The words of the local officials made Han Hao want to let everyone disperse.
His two sons followed behind his wife, Chen Lingxi, looking around a little shyly, trying to piece together the other side of their father after he walked out of the house.
From the sincere emotions of the people around them, the brothers felt that their father had many excellent qualities that they did not know.
When the group came to the main venue, they saw "Chenjiawan Hope Primary School (and Haoxi Hope School No. 001)", and a line of eye-catching big characters stood in the middle of the school teaching building, indicating their identity to all visitors.
A little farther away, there is another beautiful four-story teaching building, which also reads "Chenjiawan Hope Middle School (Haoxi Hope School No. 002)" in red letters.
As far as the eye can see, the most beautiful places are the two teaching buildings of Chenjiawan Primary School and Middle School, and even the seat of the township government is only a two-story cement slab building built in the early 80s.
Combined with the residual impression in his mind, Han Hao found that this place had hardly changed compared to 6 years ago.
"If there is a woman, don't marry Chen Jiawan, so as not to have tears in your eyes!"
When Han Hao heard passers-by evaluate Chen Jiawan's words, it seems that they are still applicable now.
Compared with the ever-changing cityscape of Jiangzhou, it is like a history museum where time has come to a standstill.
It seems that I have come to the right place this time!
The purpose of Han Hao's trip is to respond to the call for "targeted poverty alleviation" just put forward by the central government and help Chenjiawan get rid of poverty. He even has a more ambitious goal, which is to lift Hongshan County, where Chenjiawan is located, out of poverty with the assistance of the China Group.
It is unprecedented to use the power of an enterprise to support a poor county to get rid of poverty.
Hongshan County is one of the national poverty-stricken counties with 670,000 people, of which more than 180,000 are poor. Chenjiawan has a population of 80,000, of which more than 40,000 belong to the poor group, which can be described as a veritable poor township.
Strictly speaking, Han Hao has already started the poverty alleviation action in Chenjiawan, and the Hope Primary School funded by him with "poverty alleviation first and wisdom first" is investing in the next generation.
But today, what he intends to do is to support the current generation and pull them out of the trap of poverty.
People's circumstances are affected by congenital and acquired conditions, Han Hao asked himself, if he was born in Chenjiawan, maybe he would be crushed by the heavy pressure of life early, and he might not even be able to marry a wife in the mountains.
He once watched a foreign reality documentary, which changed the environment of those successful rich people and let them experience the life of ordinary poor families. After the exchange, the rich people who thought that they would still start from scratch with their intelligence and years of knowledge were squeezed by the heavy pressure of life every day to run around for three meals a day, and they couldn't help but sigh: In a life like this, if you are as good as yourself, you can only barely live, and it is even more difficult to get rich.
Sometimes it's really not that people don't work hard, it's that life is too heavy and weighs on the Himalayas on their shoulders.
Smiling and stubbornly living is already the greatest gift of life to them.
Having said that, it was not for nothing that Han Hao came here to change Chenjiawan. If you just rely on throwing money, you can only live a temporary addiction, and you can't bring sustainable development momentum to Chenjiawan.
What he needed to find was a model that could really make a difference in Chenjiawan, and fortunately he was already inspired by that.
