Chapter 121: Swimming Pool and School Bus
Tian Chuan also has a worry about deepening the pond in Nanwa, that is, he is worried that the children in the village will swim inside, and in the event of a drowning accident, compensation is a trivial matter, and the tragedy of a family is certain. Just last year, three children from a neighboring village went swimming in a pond outside the village, one drowned, and the other two went to rescue them, only to drown all three children, and Tagawa didn't want that kind of tragedy to happen at his base. He has already given a death order to the fish pond of the base: outsiders are never allowed to swim in his fish pond, once discovered, the leaders of the base from Qi Ligang to Li Erbao, and then to the person responsible for the inspection, each person will be deducted one month's salary, and if it happens for the second time within a year, the responsible person will be directly dismissed.
Later, Tian Chuan thought that such a strict defense was not a way, and if the children did not come here to swim by themselves, they would still go elsewhere, and he couldn't lock up all the pits and ditches.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to build a swimming pool in the village.
The boys in the village are relatively wild, and in the summer, they look for places to swim, and all kinds of dangerous situations occur from time to time. Most of the time it is possible to save the day, but it is not a long-term solution. And the water quality in those pits is really not complimentary, and children swim there and are prone to a variety of diseases. There is also the fact that girls basically can't swim, and it is dangerous to fall into the water occasionally, which is not a solution. He still remembers when he learned to swim when he was a child, that is, he was splashing blindly in the puddle at the head of the village, and although he finally learned it, he encountered many dangers in the middle. The most suspenseful time was when he inadvertently went deep before he could swim, and when he was struggling, he was seen by a neighbor and fished up. When I got home, I was beaten by my parents in turn, but next time I secretly went into the water until I finally learned. Rural children grow up with countless dangers, and his swimming pool would be worth it if it could help them reduce some of the risks.
In addition to swimming, the shower room attached to the pool is also open to the public. Now the vast majority of families in the village do not have the conditions to take a bath. In the summer, you can dry a large basin of water, close the gate at night, and take a bath in your own yard, but it is not easy to do in winter, and it is generally said next summer. The opening of this shower room can provide a clean and hygienic bath for the people of the village all year round
room to improve everyone's hygiene.
He did what he thought, and he told Wang Dayong and Tian Long, the two village leaders, about this idea. After hearing what Tian Chuan said, Tian Long took the lead in asking, "How are you going to charge for this bathing pond?" Can the people in the village accept it?"
Tian Chuan said: "I just want to find a safe swimming environment for the children in the village, and at the same time give the villagers a convenient place to take a bath. As for the charges, here's what I think. Charge enough for swimming pools and baths
The cost of the room allows the place to be self-sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to do it for a long time. The upfront investment can be made by me, and I am not prepared to make money from it. I usually have little time in the village, and I don't have the energy to take care of this matter, and this thing has to be done by the village. If you see how good this is, a piece of land has been set aside in the village, and I will fund it to build it. After it is built, it is up to the village to find someone to manage it. As for the fees, it is better for the people in the village to charge them on a monthly basis, and as long as everyone pays the money, they can come to swim or bathe this month. Each person receives more than ten yuan per month, which should be able to meet the requirements of operating costs, and you can consider the specific figures. If an outsider comes to take a bath, no matter whose guest it is, you have to pay 2 yuan for bathing and 4 yuan for swimming, which is acceptable, right? ”
"There are more than 1,300 people in our village, and there are less than 1,000 people who will come to bathe, and it is estimated that once a day in summer and once every five to ten days in winter, 50 bathing heads are about the same. Installing a solar water heater on the roof and a boiler is enough. As for the swimming pool, in the summer, I estimate that many people will be able to enter the water, and you can get two, one deep and one shallow, which can meet the needs. It's just that the swimming pool must be equipped with a safety officer to ensure that there will be no accidents. When the time comes, I'll write a detailed rule out. ”
Wang Dayong asked: "No, you only count the total number, but also men and women." Don't let the big girls and old ladies who come to take a bath show it to the whole village. ”
Tian Chuan smiled: "This is easy to do, just build two houses." Swimming, you have to wear a swimsuit, although there is a lot of exposure, and people in the city can swim like this, can't we? Who can't get used to it, just don't come. In addition, women's swimsuits are not all particularly revealing, and there are many one-piece ones, as well as skirts and styles with a trouser leg, so there is a lot of room for choice. ”
After the matter of the swimming pool was decided, the topic expanded. Tian Long said: "The conditions in our village are also good among the surrounding villages. Last year, you installed street lights, built a library, set up a scholarship, and this year you started building a museum, repairing sewers, and changing toilets, and the overall environment of the village has been improved. The money you paid for the land contract has made the village have funds, and several of our village cadres have also worked hard. Now that this swimming pool has been built, children have a safe place to swim, and adults no longer have to worry about children swimming dangerously. It stands to reason that we should be content too. But now the children from kindergarten to primary school have to go to school next to Shilicheng Village, more than two miles away from the village, let the children walk to adults are not at ease, driving pick-up is not realistic, only two black taxi Dafa cars, each trip to pull more than a dozen children, back and forth. Although the children don't have to come and go in the wind and rain anymore, but once something happens, it is a big deal, and my heart is always hanging, can you get a car for the special transportation of the children? ”
Tagawa patted his forehead, this is indeed a problem. Weiwei has a special car for her parents to pick her up from school, so she ignores this matter. So he said: "This is really a thing, in this way, I paid for two cars, one for the primary school and kindergarten in Shili City, and the other for the middle school in Qinglong Town." Now there doesn't seem to be a domestic school bus, so if it doesn't work, I'll go to the United States to get two. This car is not for nothing, the fuel money and the driver's salary have to be paid by the parents who ride the car, and the cost of vehicle repair and maintenance must also come from here. I estimate that the money for a family will not be too much, and it will not be more expensive than the current black rental. But there is one thing, you have to show me the car, and it can't be diverted for other purposes. If there are empty seats in the car, you can pull the children from other villages, and you can set the cost, and I don't care. ”
Wang Dayong suddenly said: "The year before last, the primary school in the village was merged into Shilicheng Village, and the school was vacant, and it has been idle for the past two years. I think the pool could be built there. The school includes a playground with a 200-meter track, which is quite large and can be used as a place for activities. ”
Tagawa said, "It's a little big. So go for it, get an activity center, in addition to the pool and baths
Outdoors, get a table tennis hall and a badminton hall, get a basketball court and a small sports field outdoors, everyone can go inside to move their bodies, and save money to gamble in the spare time. ”
Wang Dayong said: "You can also get some gongs and drums or something, organize everyone to twist Yangge, jump on stilts, you can do it." ”
Tian Chuan also added: "Get a set of karaoke equipment, let everyone sing or something, order a song for 5 cents, and it is estimated that you can earn some money back on the electricity bill." ”
Tian Chuan asked someone to do an assessment, the cost of the whole project is about 700,000 yuan, he donated 800,000 yuan to the village, let Wang Dayong and them preside over the project, and the rest of the money was used to buy cultural and sports supplies. In this way, a comprehensive cultural and sports activity center was established, and later it became a gathering place for people of all ages in the village, and there were many people from other villages, and the number of people in the village who pushed pai gow gambling money really decreased a lot.
Tian Chuan looked around in the capital and Jin City, and there was no professional-grade school bus for sale. He contacted the United States, and the price of the 40-seater large school bus produced by Chrysler was equivalent to nearly 4 million yuan, which was too expensive and greatly exceeded his budget. He struggled in his heart for a long time, but finally made up his mind to buy a school bus, and what he wanted was safety, and as long as he encountered an accident, it would be worth it. Before he went to the United States, there had just been an accident in the South, and more than half of the dozen or so children in the car died, which made people worry when they thought about it. Isn't it just a thousand thousands, bought.
He found Luan Jianjun, who had been involved in import and export trade, and asked about the import of school buses. Luan Jianjun heard that he wanted to buy two school buses to donate to the village, and immediately agreed to help. In the end, he suggested that Tian Chuan go to Qi Yong, and the Qi family had someone at the customs to see if he could give some reduction or exemption in tariffs. In other words, the tariff on the import of this car is really high, and the tax amount of nearly double is really unbearable.
So Tian Chuan called Qi Yong again, and the news that Qi Yong fed back was that he needed a certificate from the local government and the education department, and the customs asked the leaders to give special approval, and it was almost there.
Tian Chuan worked non-stop, so that the village issued a certificate, and stamped the official seals of the town, county and city along the way. I also asked the school to issue a certificate, and the official seal was stamped all the way to the Municipal Education Commission, and it took nearly half a month to send the tax exemption application with two certificates to the desk of the director of Beijing Customs.
The Commissioner gave the opinion of "agreeing to the exemption of import duties", and the matter was done. After another half a month, the two school buses arrived at the seaport of Jinshi, and Tian Chuan led two village cadres and two drivers to drive the buses back.
The villagers had already learned that Tagawa had donated two imported school buses to the children, and many people gathered around to see them. At the entrance of the village, they saw two large monster cars with ugly yellow colors. With a big nose like a truck, a wide and stupid cabin, everything looks different, completely different from the high-end imported passenger cars in everyone's mind.
The size of the car is too large, and it is not convenient to operate on narrow country roads. The strange appearance and color of the car are even more unforgettable at first sight, is it true that the aesthetic vision of Americans is like this?
The driver is also not satisfied with the car, although the operation is not strenuous, but the huge fuel consumption is unbearable, will the villagers suspect that they have taken advantage of the refueling?
In the midst of everyone's various puzzles, two school buses were put into use, and the children rode happily with a sense of freshness at first, and then they got used to it. Some parents don't want to spend dozens of yuan a month on the fare, so they pick up and drop off their children in person.
It wasn't until after a heavy snowfall in winter that a runaway truck crashed into one of the school buses, and the school bus was fine, and the front of the truck was completely destroyed, that everyone paid attention to the two school buses again, which were simply two large armored vehicles. After searching the Internet, Gao Yuling, who works at the Tianjia base, came out with surprising news: "The total price of these two cars is close to 10 million yuan! It is claimed that they are safer than the special car of the US president." ”
Of course, that's an afterthought.
