In the middle of September, it was a scorching summer day and the sun was blazing.

"Sir, please come in. ”

The maid of the Zhou family led Huo Yaowen into the hall of the villa.

At this time, there was only Zhou Xinian in the room, he sat on the sofa, and after seeing Huo Yaowen come in, he got up with a smile and greeted him: "Mr. Huo is here." ”

Huo Yaowen stepped forward with a smile on his face, shook hands with him and said, "Sir Zhou took the liberty to come over, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"No hindrance, Mr. Huo, please take a seat. ”

After Zhou Xinian beckoned Huo Yaowen to sit down, another servant made two cups of tea and brought it up, and when Zhou Xinian dismissed the servant, he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Huo came here this time for the Foundation's business?"

"Not bad. Huo Yaowen nodded, took out a stack of foundation's charter and plan from the briefcase he brought with him, handed it to Zhou Xinian, and said: "Sir Zhou, this is the plan and charter that I have revised with reference to the content of some similar foundations abroad. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look. Zhou Xinian took a stack of documents and looked at them silently.

This charter and plan are quite detailed, from the preparation of the foundation personnel, to the poor students in need, and the amount of bursary, all of which are very different.

Some families are okay, but the college fees are too expensive, and the foundation can subsidize some of them, and the family is too poor to pay, the foundation can reimburse all tuition and fees, and even living expenses.

But there is a premise, that is, these money is not free, it is issued to students in the form of similar loans, but no interest is charged, and a small amount of repayment will be collected from the monthly salary after the student graduates and works.

Seeing this, Zhou Xinian looked up at the other party in some surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Huo, since the purpose of the foundation is to help poor students, why did you come up with this way that looks like a loan?"

Huo Yaowen paused and said: "It is recorded in "Xunzi Self-cultivation": Those who are good at ancestors are called teaching, those who are good at people are said to be smooth, those who are not good at ancestors are said to be flattering, and those who are not good at being kind to others are said to be sycophants.

It is good for Sir Zhou to have a heart for the good ancestors, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the Foundation may be able to help those poor students free of charge with the cooperation of Sir Zhou and our publishing house, but charity is not charity.

In my opinion, bursaries are to help students complete their studies, rather than giving money directly to students, which may be no different in Sir Zhou's view, but I personally think that letting bursaries take shape in the form of loans can not only help students complete their studies, but also allow them to experience and understand what moral education is, so that they can also think of helping others in the future while receiving help, which is the essence of the establishment of the foundation. ”

After listening, Zhou Xinian squinted slightly and fell into contemplation, with kindness to cultivate goodness, love to give birth to love, these eight words seem simple, but their connotations have ulterior motives, nodded slightly: "Mr. Huo is right, to be good to cultivate goodness, so that the students who are helped can study hard and become useful talents, and only then can they continue to do good deeds in the future." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "That's right, that's exactly what I meant. ”

Zhou Xinian pondered: "Mr. Huo's method is good, but I think it's best not to say it in the form of a loan, after all, when the parents of students hear about the loan, even if it doesn't require interest, it will be repaid every month after graduation, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to do it, so I think maybe I can say it in another way." ”

Huo Yaowen asked curiously, "What was Sir Zhou's idea?"

Zhou Xinian closed his eyes slightly, his mind was running rapidly for more than a minute, and then he said with a happy face: "Why don't you say it in the form of donation?"

"Oh?"

Huo Yaowen was stunned: "What form of donation?"

Zhou Xinian said with a smile: "Every student who receives the foundation grant must promise and guarantee that in the future life, the same amount of funds must be donated to other poor students, of course, there will be no stipulation on the amount of each donation, the donation time, even if he dies of old age, he does not donate the same amount of money, these are irrelevant, I want to train students to be good and good, endlessly." ”

Huo Yaowen pursed his lips, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, put it down at the same time, praised and said: "Sir Zhou, this method you proposed is very good, my original intention is not to let the students repay the money, otherwise there is no need to set up any foundation, I just want the students to know how to be grateful, know how to reciprocate, and know how to do good deeds, so that they can have a good heart." ”

Huo Yaowen has seen a lot of white-eyed wolf behaviors in later generations, so when he set up the foundation, he had already thought that he could not let students think that the bursary was free and accepted it as he could.

Of course, a bursary is a bursary, and unlike a scholarship, the foundation will also have a scholarship that is awarded to students with excellent academic performance, which is free of charge.

Zhou Xinian laughed: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Huo!"

Zhou Xinian didn't care much about the foundation, after all, he donates a large amount of money every year for Hong Kong education, whether it is to help students or add some equipment to the school to build teaching buildings.

However, in the process of chatting with Huo Yaowen, I felt that the purpose of the establishment of the foundation was not simply to help students complete their studies, but to teach those poor students to know how to accept help at the same time, and to know how to give back to the society after they become talents in the future, and continue to help those students who are still in difficulty, so that it can also be regarded as a moral education.

chatted for a whole morning, until a maid came to Zhou Xinian and said that he wanted to have lunch, and the topic of the two came to an end, and Huo Yaowen politely declined the other party's invitation to stay for dinner.

......

After hurriedly returning to the University of Hong Kong from the mid-levels, Huo Yaowen immediately found Director Huang and told him about the publishing house's profit of more than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Poof".

A book falls to the ground.

Director Huang held a cigarette in his mouth, his mouth was slightly open, and he stared at him with horror on his face, then quickly took off the cigarette, swallowed and said, "This ...... Is this true?!"

Huo Yaowen nodded: "I can still lie to you!"

"How come, how can you make so much money?" Director Huang knew that Huo Yaowen was not the kind of person who liked to joke, he was organized and orderly, and it was impossible to laugh at such a large sum of money.

Huo Yaowen said slowly: "It's like this......"

On the one hand, the management of the publishing house is on Huo Yaowen, and he at most inspected it on behalf of the shareholders of the University of Hong Kong.

"That's a lot of money. Director Huang heard Huo Yaowen say that more than 300,000 copies of the tutorial book were sold just by publishing it, and the price of each volume was as high as ten yuan, and he easily earned more than one million, which was simply dizzy and still a little incredulous.

Huo Yaowen chuckled: "What's the matter, it's not good to earn more?"

"No, I didn't say it bad, it's just this ...... Let me take my time. Director Huang took a few breaths, then calmed down, picked up the pu fan on the side and fanned himself, and said, "Then did you come to me for something this time?"

"Yes, there is something I want Director Huang to tell the principal. ”

Although Huo Yaowen can go to the principal by himself, the school has already put Director Huang in charge of the handover with the publishing house, and this matter must be discussed with him first.
