A small conference room, less than fifty square meters.

Inside, against the wall was a half-circle of white cotton-covered wooden bone sofas, the floor was covered with a woolen carpet, and the table was covered with a crimson tablecloth.

The decoration of the house is a bit Western-style, from the curtains to the ceiling, and the hanging lamps are all Western-style, intersecting with the large Chinese paintings of solid wood panels on the walls, but they do not look abrupt at all, but have a harmonious beauty.

Zhang Xingming, Old Man Shen and several other old people were sitting on the sofa, listening to the old man in the center.

The old man is in high spirits, and when he talks about excitement, he will wave his arms to increase his sense of strength.

"As I said, we should be bolder and faster, learn from others, and learn what to learn? It is not simply to learn how others do it, but to learn why others do what they do, and it is not a matter of one or two years to catch up with and surpass the advanced countries, but to start from the details and accumulate slowly. ”

"Reform and opening up means to throw away the original system, put aside the burden, travel lightly, and make great strides. We don't have anything to learn from, so we might as well just ignore him so much, do things and look at them again, not afraid of making mistakes, if you don't make mistakes, you will never be able to do things. ”

"Today I read Liaodong Xiao Shen's suggestions on education and medical care, which is very good. It is necessary to have ideas and dare to think, in order to make achievements, to improve, and to do things. We have to pay attention to people who can do things, Xiaohu, you have to pay attention to this. ”

A somewhat thin old man sitting next to the old man nodded and glanced at Old Man Shen.

"Come, little one, come to me. What are you doing sitting so far away? Am I a tiger? I'm old, my eyes are not good, and I can't see clearly when you're sitting far away. ”

Zhang Xingming quickly stood up and walked to the old man's side, the service staff took a chair and gently put it on the side of the old man's sofa, Zhang Xingming thanked him softly and sat down.

The old man reached out and grabbed Zhang Xingming's right hand, looked at him and said, "I already knew about you." The investment vision is very accurate, the work is practical, and the employment exceeds that of some state-owned enterprises, you are amazing. ”

Zhang Xingming hurriedly politely said: "You are serious, everything should be done, I haven't done well enough, but I will try to do better." ”

The old man patted the back of Zhang Xingming's hand with his other hand, turned his head and said to Old Man Shen, "Xiao Shen, I'm a little jealous of you, good grandson." ”

Zhang Xingming hung up with a black line, but what people said was the truth, but how could it sound so awkward.

Old man Shen said: "It's still a good policy, and your path is good." I just lucked and picked up a bargain, haha. ”

The old man smiled and said, "You guys are still so slippery." Xiao Shen, let Liaodong go, come to Beijing, you have great qualifications, you occupy a position but you are in the way of others, you will be scolded, Liaodong is developing very well now, and you have your credit. Open your eyes, stand taller, look farther, my body is not good, I have to rely on you in the future. ”

The old man thought for a while, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement." ”

The old man was happy, and after a long time, he said to Zhang Xingming: "Your grandfather is a little slippery head, you have to be better than him, and you have to do practical things in a down-to-earth manner." ”

Zhang Xingming agreed with a sweat.

The old man said: "I know a little about your situation, not to supervise you, but to learn from you, you have taken every step steadily, I see it." However, your foundation on Hong Kong Island is a bit thin, and this is your shortcoming, which needs to be improved. There are still ten years, and I don't know if I will be able to see that day, but I want to tell you that if you are strong, the country will spend less effort to lead others, and the people who come out of capitalism will not be reliable. ”

Zhang Xingming's head turned over countless times in an instant, and he also understood what the old man meant, nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, give me five years." Hong Kong Island can't be messed up. ”

The old man patted Zhang Xingming's hand, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, be steady, hunters who can't hold their breath can't catch rabbits." ”

After a pause, he said: "Little guy, come to me as a consultant, now the times are different, it is the world of young people, we old people also have to get in touch with young people, and we have to learn to see the world from a new perspective." ”

Zhang Xingming was taken aback and turned his head to look at Old Man Shen.

The old man smiled and said, "Don't look at him, he wants to listen to me, I speak, he doesn't dare to object." ”

A group of old people laughed, Zhang Xingming also laughed, shook his head, and found that he still couldn't make it, he was still too small, and he couldn't hold it down.

The old man said: "I agree with your views on the education system, but the road has to be taken step by step, this is a big matter, and there is no urgency." He turned his head to another old man beside him and said, "You can try it, take a piece of land out and let him do it, and the relevant laws and regulations can also refer to his opinions, and brainstorming can reduce mistakes." The old man on the side nodded in agreement.

The old man turned back to Zhang Xingming and said, "Tell me what you think, I'll listen to it." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "I want to set up a fund this year, which mainly focuses on education in China, including school construction, teacher coordination, equipment and facilities assistance, and student lunches, and then improve transportation as much as possible." At the same time, a journal will be published, which can be regarded as a journal. From time to time, we will publish major and good things in foreign and domestic education, write about the situation in the west to the people in the east, and show the information from the east to the west, so as to add some impetus to their lives.

There is also a teacher's subsidy, you may not know that there is another problem that it is difficult for rural children to go to school, that is, there are no teachers, but it is not that there are really no teachers, but the income of these teachers is too small, so small that they can't support themselves, not to mention their families. Most of the teachers in the western mountainous areas are not even recognized as teachers, and the teachers who can continue to teach there are all great people, who rely on a kind of love for the cause of education and love for the children. I want to help them, so that they can see the hope of their careers, so that they can support their families by their own efforts, of course, it would be better if the state could have some policy support, but after all, a worthless name, in their eyes may be bigger than the sky. ”

The old man frowned, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and after a while, turned his head to the old man on the side and said: "You should go down and take a walk, take a look, the place is biased, you can't be biased, you must form a system, you should consider and take care of the grassroots workers more, don't be an official master." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Grandpa, this can't be blamed on the place, it is too poor and backward, and the government is also powerless, so I said that we should mobilize non-governmental forces as a powerful supplement to the government's work." In fact, I think that the main work of the government should be more coordination, supervision and service, rather than taking care of everything from small to large. ”

There were several old people sitting with their eyes on Zhang Xingming, and for a moment Zhang Xingming felt an invisible pressure pressing on him, and he couldn't help sweating a little.

The old man in the middle closed his eyes and was quiet for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Zhou." ”

A middle-aged man standing behind the old man immediately leaned over and whispered, "I'm here." ”

The old man pointed at Zhang Xingming and said, "Arrange for him to be my policy advisor." I'll do it tomorrow. Xiao Zhou agreed, and then retreated, and immediately Zhang Xingming could feel the gaze staring at his body move away, and his body was light.

The old man turned his face to Zhang Xingming and said, "What is the name of your fund, and how much is it invested?"

Zhang Xingming said: "I plan to call it the Hope Foundation to bring hope to children and cultivate hope for the motherland." For the time being, 200 million yuan will be invested in advance, and it will increase every year according to the situation. I also hope that through us, we can find a way for private capital charity. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, I hope this name is good, let's call it China Hope Foundation, take more photos, and I'll take a look." Zhang Xingming agreed.

The old man said, "You are good at coordination, supervision, and service, and young people's brains are to be lively, and if you have any detailed ideas, write them down and show them to me, and I will also study and study." The country is carrying out reform and opening up, and the government must also reform and open up, and sooner or later the old routine will have to be discarded, and government functionaries must continue to study, and if they do not study, they will fall behind, and they will not be able to do their work well. ”

Zhang Xingming agreed.

The old men in the half circle nodded in agreement, looking thoughtful.

The old man closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa for a while, and said softly: "That's it, I'm tired, little doll, there is something to call Xiao Zhou, I'm old, the phone can't be heard clearly." If you have any ideas, write them down and show them to me, this consultant is not in vain. ”

Zhang Xingming agreed, and as the old men stood up and stepped on the thick carpet out of the room, the old man's thin body leaned on the sofa and did not open his eyes, Xiao Zhou stood quietly behind him.
