…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the past two years, the development momentum of Qinglong Village and even the entire Jiuli Township is very good, the per capita income of Qinglong Village exceeded 20,000 last year, and the per capita income of the residents of the entire Jiuli Township this year is not a problem.

While the villagers are rapidly getting rich, the township and the village are also investing in increasing basic public facilities on a large scale. However, the foundation of Jiuli Township was too poor, there were too many places that needed to be invested, and the amount of funds needed was too large.

The funding gap for education is particularly large.

Today, Jiuli Township has a total population of about 24,000 people, including more than 5,000 school-age children. In the past, because the conditions were too poor, many school-age children dropped out of school. As far as Zeng Cheng knows, many children even drop out of school after graduating from primary school, and only a little more than 60% can actually complete the nine-year compulsory education. In other words, almost one in three children will not go to junior high school.

When he was in school, Zeng Cheng just felt that there were very few children in the township who could go to school, but after all, he didn't know the specific situation, and he didn't have any too intuitive feelings. But now that he learned the real data, he was really shocked.

This is still the stage of compulsory education, after all, there is the support of the state. In the case of non-compulsory education, the situation is even more serious.

First of all, there are high school students, and now there are about 1,500 high school age students in the township, but only about 300 people are really studying in several high schools in the district, which is about 20%.

And pre-school education is just as shocking. There are about 1,500 children under the age of six in the township. However, there is no nursery school in the township, and there is no special kindergarten, and only a few primary schools have preschool classes, but the number of children enrolled in the township is very small, and the total number of children in the township is only about 100.

Of course, there are also a small number of families who send their children to nurseries or kindergartens in the city, just like the eldest sister's family. However, this number is also very small, adding up to absolutely less than 100 people. In other words, more than 80 percent of preschool children are basically herding sheep.

The township is now also planning to truly universalize compulsory education in the whole township, that is, to let all school-age students enter school for free. However, this is simply too much money to invest. There are about 2,500 children in the township who are of compulsory education age between the ages of 6 and 15. Even if the annual education cost of each child is 2,000 yuan, it is as high as 5 million.

Not to mention the roughly equal number of preschoolers, as well as high school-age children. If you add all of these together, the annual investment will easily exceed 10 million.

And that's just for the students, but for the rest of the money.

The first is the investment in hardware. This is equivalent to building a school with a scale of more than 5,000 people, covering all stages from preschool education to high school, so that a school needs hundreds of acres of land and about 100 school buildings, which will cost about 5 million yuan. Coupled with the improvement of playground sports facilities, campus ground hardening, campus greening, water and electricity pipe network, students' desks and chairs, teachers' office equipment, laboratories, electric classrooms, libraries and other public facilities, to say less, 10 million is about the same, if it is a high standard, it will be boundless.

But that's not all, a school of this size needs at least 200 teachers, or 300 people. Even if each teacher has an annual salary of 50,000 yuan, it will cost more than 10 million yuan. This is already the minimum standard, after all, in today's Jiuli Township, the wages of ordinary workers on the farm are more than 3,000, which is equivalent to an annual salary of more than 40,000 yuan. If you offer a teacher an annual salary of less than 50,000 yuan, who will come?

In this way, the school needs to invest more than 15 million upfront, and then at least 20 million per year to be able to maintain operations. This is really too difficult for today's Jiuli Township.

Therefore, although the township already has this idea, considering such a high investment, it has not been able to take action for a long time.

After Zeng Cheng learned the news, he had some thoughts in his heart.

This has something to do with an experience from his previous life.

In his previous life, Zeng Cheng worked as a teacher in a private school in Shicheng for several years after leaving the research institute. Of course, that time was still a few years later, that is, the last experience of Zeng Cheng's previous life.

At that time, the economic development of Shicheng was already relatively good, but it could not keep up with the education, so the district government introduced policies to encourage private schools. This is how the school that Zeng Cheng entered was born.

That school is doing well, and Zeng Cheng is the backbone of this school, working in that school for two and a half years (and the last two and a half years of Zeng Cheng's previous life), and he has always been with the high school graduating class.

Because he is the backbone of the school, he also knows a lot about the situation of the school and knows that private schools are actually very profitable.

It's still 2008, and it's not comparable to five years later, but there are already signs.

In fact, if nothing else, Shicheng District will introduce a policy to encourage private schools next year, and the first batch of private schools will also appear next year.

Originally, Zeng Cheng planned to sponsor a school in the township, but after considering the experience of this previous life, he had a new idea, that is, to directly set up a school in the township, and then merge three primary schools and one junior high school in the township.

Zeng Cheng believes that as long as he is willing to put in the work, the school will definitely make achievements quickly. And wait until the results are out, and then start recruiting students, there will definitely be many parents with good family economic conditions who are willing to send their children to school. When the time comes, it is not necessary to expect the school to make money, but at least it should not be a problem to maintain the normal operation of the school.

In this way, it can be regarded as a free opportunity for the next generation in the township to receive education.

And Zeng Cheng can also benefit a lot from this matter.

As a local enterprise, the roots of Xianyuan Group are here. Therefore, it is also destined that most of its employees will be people here. The next generation here will grow up, and many will also work for the Xianyuan Group. If Zeng Cheng runs his own school, these children have received the education of the group school since they were young, and after they start working in the future, they will have a much stronger sense of belonging to the company, and the more benefits they will bring to the company.

Since Xianyuan Group can benefit a lot, Zeng Cheng, the boss of the group, is naturally the biggest beneficiary.

In addition, it is Zeng Cheng's reputation in his hometown. Although he now has a high status in the hearts of the villagers because of the benefits brought by Xianyuan Group to Jiuli Township, he doesn't mind letting this status be higher, and he can get the unconditional support of the villagers when he encounters things in the future.

And to achieve this goal, caring for the growth of the next generation is undoubtedly the most effective way. Not to mention anything else, just some time ago, he made the act of donating vegetables and milk to several schools in the township, which made the villagers have a good impression of him, not to mention that after the school was opened, the next generation in the township will be enrolled for free.

Of course, being able to really help the villagers and let the next generation get the best education is also a happy thing for Zeng Cheng.

Tens of millions of funds may be a huge expense for today's Jiuli Township. But for Zeng Cheng, who now earns hundreds of millions of dollars a month and will further double it in the future, it is not a big deal. His profit for a month is enough for the school to operate for several years.

It's not that hard to get this done. Zeng Cheng believed that if the villagers knew his thoughts, they would definitely be willing to accept it. As for the permission in the district, Zeng Cheng believes that it is not a problem. Who called the current district committee No. 1 his future father-in-law? What's more, this is also a situation that the district is happy to see. There is private capital willing to invest in education, which is also a kind of burden reduction for government finance.

Even, Zeng Cheng has a good candidate for the future helm of this school, that is, his beautiful teacher Xu Yalan.

She is only twenty-eight years old now, she is still very young, it is the time of full energy, and at the same time, she has been exercising in Shicheng No. 1 Middle School for a short time, accumulating a lot of management experience.

As for her ability, Zeng Cheng is not worried at all, she is not only a top student majoring in English, but also took a double degree when she was in school, and the double degree major is the management of Beijing Normal University.

Over the past year, she has been able to manage Shicheng No. 1 Middle School, a middle school with more than 5,000 students, in an orderly manner, and it should not be a problem to change to a school of similar size. While this new school covers a bit more age groups, it won't be difficult to get anywhere.

At the beginning of the establishment of the school, I invited a few experienced old educators to come to the school to help her carry out her work.

As for whether Xu Yalan will accept Zeng Cheng's invitation, he is not worried. He knew that this beautiful teacher was a person who liked a challenge. With her character, she will be constrained by a lot of constraints in the system, and many times she can't use her hands and feet. But if she went to such a school that was completely under her control, she would definitely be very willing.

Of course, all of this is still in the concept, and Zeng Cheng still needs to communicate with all parties, especially Xu Yalan, a former beautiful teacher, and tell her to participate in this matter.

However, this matter will take some time, because Xu Yalan is not in the mood now, let alone the energy. It's already the beginning of June, and this year's college entrance examination is coming, and she is not only a teacher in the third year of high school, but also the director of the academic affairs office of Shicheng No. 1 Middle School.
