After handing over the materials to Professor Xiong, Liu Lang ran to the Education Committee non-stop and found Lu Mingzhi, hoping that the project was a major event, and he could not delay it for a moment.

"Grandpa Lu, I have something to tell you!"

Liu Lang came directly to Lu Mingzhi's office.

"Little one, what wind is blowing you over?

The state leaders at the level of Lu Mingzhi still know some things about Liu Lang in the United States, Liu Lang is in the United States, and he has earned tens of millions of dollars and more than 10 million yuan for helping the army as soon as he arrives there, which has contributed more to the country than many large enterprises.

"Grandpa Lu, I have something important to tell you!"

Liu Lang told Lu Mingzhi about the establishment of a youth development foundation and the establishment of the Hope Project.

"Uh-huh, well, good, good, good, good!"

Lu Mingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't stop nodding,

Lu Mingzhi feels that Liu Lang's suggestion is very good, and it can even be promoted to the national level for implementation.

What was the first thing Deng Lao did after he left the mountain in '87? It was not to start reform and opening up, but to restore the country's college entrance examination system, because everyone knows the value of talent, and without talent, there will be no future for the country.

However, education also requires costs, first of all, you need books, no textbooks are useless geniuses, and then you need teacher resources, Xiong Huaizhi's apprentices are completely different from other teachers' apprentices.

Of course, in the 80s, the questions of the college entrance examination were relatively simple, as long as you read the high school books thoroughly, you could almost get in, but then again, then you have to understand the curriculum of elementary school and junior high school first.

At present, there are primary schools in rural areas, but they have to pay money to go to school, and the tuition fee is not much, only 10 yuan or 20 yuan a year, but the income in the rural areas is very low, and many people are unwilling to take out this money, and the vast majority of children will drop out of school and go home to farm when they reach the third or fourth grade of primary school.

If it is a small number of people, it is fine, but there are 700 million peasants in the country's 1 billion population, and nearly 100 million of them are young people, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total population of the country, and most of these young people cannot go to school.

In fact, the state has long been concerned about these peasants, and in recent years, it has been tax cuts and land contracts to increase their income, but this is a long-term measure, not a solution that can be solved in just one or two years, and the hope project proposed by Liu Lang is undoubtedly a targeted method, and it has grasped the key points, and can solve the problem in the shortest possible time.

"Grandpa Lu, I hope that this youth development fund is an unofficial and non-profit organization, of course, some of its full-time personnel can have official status, but this foundation cannot be included in the state department, because then it may be hindered by all parties and lead to inefficiency. ”

"Where does the money come from, and how can it do without special state funds?"

In Lu Mingzhi's view, many major projects are still led by the state, after all, money is needed, who else can come up with a large amount of funds besides the state?

But Liu Lang doesn't think so, in the previous life, the China Youth Development Foundation was an unofficial organization, similar to the Red Cross organization, which directly aimed at the private sector to raise funds, and the government was only responsible for the review of the use of funds, which could greatly improve efficiency.

Lu Mingzhi also understands Liu Lang's original intention, but can this really raise funds?

"Grandpa Lu, once the Hope Project is established, I promise to donate 5 million yuan a year, and I can also let the Huo family and others join in, I believe that there will be many rich people on Hong Kong Island who will also join, so that in the first few years, we will be able to receive no less than 10 million funds per year, which is insignificant compared with the rural poor in our country, but at least it can solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of teenagers going to school. ”

"What? You donate five million a year?"

Lu Mingzhi was taken aback, this is not a small amount, with so much money, how many schools can be built in the rural areas, and how many outstanding students can be helped to go to college? It is simply a merit.

"I do what I say about money, the most important thing is the Youth Development Foundation, this organization must first be unofficial, and I also have a candidate, maybe he can be the organization of this foundation?"

"Oh, Liu Lang, do you have a candidate?"

Liu Lang's words made Lu Mingzhi's heart move, it seems that Liu Lang is still worried about the organization, and he wants to personally select someone.

"This person's name is Wang Nan, and he is a well-known reporter on national television!"

"Wang Nan, reporter, how did you know him?"

This choice was somewhat unexpected by Lu Mingzhi.

"Coincidentally, on my way home, I met a bunch of Wanwan people who were filming a documentary ......!"

Liu Lang told Lu Mingzhi what he had encountered before.

I have heard about this incident, and the prime minister at that time held a reminiscence to discuss this matter, and finally agreed that they would go to the mainland to shoot, and it seems that these people are indeed sincere, and if the people over there were like this artist, our two sides of the strait would have been reunited long ago! However, I don't count on the question of candidates, the Hope Project is related to education, and our Education Committee strongly supports it, but the establishment of the Youth Development Foundation is not our family's decision, even if it is an unofficial organization......... That has to be approved by all government departments!"

"Grandpa Lu, I know all this, I just hope that you can tell me what I said just now, and the sooner the better! I will go back to the United States in another month, don't the foundation has not been established by then, then my five million may not be able to be taken out in time!"

Liu Lang now just hopes that this matter will be as soon as possible.

"Little guy, you are rich now! But the more rich people like you, the better, don't worry, I will go to Prime Minister Yang immediately, and I have to tell him about this matter, as long as he agrees, it will be easy to do!"

"Grandpa Lu, when you talk to Premier Zhao, you have to add everything I say!"

"Haha, I know, I know, your name is better than us many times, don't worry!"

Liu Lang is sometimes much more important in the eyes of the top than their ministers, after all, there is only one Liu Lang in China, and there are many of those ministers.

Liu Lang returned to Huaxia University, and Wang Nan came to the door the next day, Ling Feng's group spent the New Year from the Wang family's shack, although there was nothing to eat and drink, but the customs of catching up with the big set, writing Spring Festival couplets, and eating sauerkraut made him feel the flavor of the New Year in the north, and now he has ended his journey for a few months and left the mainland to go back to Wanwan.
