Just when the outside world was discussing Lu Yang's net worth, Lu Yang took a group of people and came to Guizhou Province in a low-key manner. Many of the people who traveled with him this time were new faces, and these people were employees of Tianxin Charity Foundation. One of them is Tang Qiuli, the head of the Tianxin Charity Foundation chosen by Lu Yang.

Tang Qiuli, 42 years old, from Zhongzhou, and Lu Yang are fellow villagers. She graduated from Beijing University in the early 90s of last century, and has been engaged in public welfare and charity activities since then, and everyone knows her in the field of public welfare and charity in China. was able to invite Tang Qiuli, Lu Yang took a lot of effort and asked Ma Yun to help as an introducer. Ma Yun is also a well-known philanthropist, and is the Chairman of the TNC China Council and a member of the Global Board of Directors.

Lu Yang impressed Tang Qiuli with his sincerity, and hired her. Tang Qiuli is well aware of domestic public welfare and charity, and with her help, Lu Yang established the Tianxin Charity Foundation.

According to Lu Yang's plan, the first batch of charitable funds will be used to help children in backward areas in the west solve the problem of going to school.

"Sister Tang, the first batch of funds has been put in place, with 200 million yuan, how many primary schools do you think can be built?" On the way, Lu Yang and Tang Qiuli discussed.

Tang Qiuli said: "Generally speaking, the cost of building a school is different depending on the size of the school. Transportation in Guizhou Province is very underdeveloped, and children in remote areas do not go to school. Here, the cost of building a school is about 100,000 to 300,000 yuan. ”

Lu Yang nodded: "We have established Hope Primary School, not only to give children in those places the opportunity to receive education, but also to provide them with better conditions." The school building should not be too simple, and the facilities should be complete, including the stadium, library, etc., ......"

"In that case, the cost will be higher. With this money, it is better to build a few more schools for children in other areas. Tang Qiuli disagreed with Lu Yang's approach.

"Either you don't do it, or you do it well. As for the cost, Sister Tang, you don't have to worry, my investment in the charity fund will only increase in the future. Lu Yang insisted.

Tang Qiuli thought for a while: "Since you, the big boss, have said so, then it can only be like this." However, Mr. Lu, it is not difficult to build a school, it is rare that there are no teachers. As you know, many areas here are very economically backward and the transportation is not convenient, so it is difficult to find teachers locally. However, not many people are willing to come when they are hired from other places, so the shortage of teachers is the one that restricts education in the western region. ”

Lu Yang was surprised: "Doesn't the country have the development of the western region and support the western region?" ”

Tang Qiuli shook her head: "Policy is only one aspect, these are far from enough. The wage level in the western region is already lower than that in the eastern and central regions, and even if there is policy support, how many people are willing to come? Even if they can come, how many people will be able to stay at all? According to my own statistics, less than 5% of the volunteers who support the western region remain......"

Lu Yang sighed: "It's no wonder, not everyone is a saint." In this way, regarding the teacher's problem, we will reflect it with the Guizhou Provincial Government to see if there is any solution. In addition, the Foundation has donated funds to subsidize the teachers of Tianxin Hope Primary School to maximize their income ......"

In the afternoon, the plane in which Lu Yang and his entourage were traveling landed at Qianyang Airport, after which Lu Yang met with the leaders of the Guizhou Provincial Education Department.

"Mr. Lu, this is Director Cui of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Education." Tang Qiuli introduced Lu Yang. It can be seen that she is more familiar with this Director Cui. Lu Yang was not surprised by this, he had already asked Pangu to check Tang Qiuli's personal information, and the information showed that Tang Qiuli's family background was extraordinary, and her father was the founding general. She also has an older brother who is the mayor of Zhejiang Province and has a bright future.

"Hello, Director Cui." Lu Yang calmly shook hands with the other party.

Director Cui shook Lu Yang's hand vigorously and said enthusiastically: "Welcome Mr. Lu to our Guizhou Province to inspect the work, Ms. Tang has already told us about Mr. Lu's good deeds, and I welcome Mr. Lu's arrival on behalf of the people of Guizhou Province......

"You're welcome." Lu Yang said, "Now that Director Cui has understood, I don't need to say more, Tianxin Charity Foundation is donating money to schools in the west this time, and I also hope to get the support of the education department and the government." ”

"Of course." Director Cui assured, "Mr. Lu has any needs, just mention it to me." ”

Director Cui introduced the education situation in Guizhou Province to Lu Yang, but Lu Yang felt that the actual situation was definitely not as good as he said. In the evening of the same day, the Guizhou Provincial Government held a welcome party, which was personally presided over by Hong Mingjun, Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee, to show his importance to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang knew that Hong Mingjun did this not because of the Tianxin Charity Foundation, but because he wanted Lu Yang's investment. In the eyes of these officials, education is clearly less important than economic growth, and Lu Yang is used to it. For these requests, Lu Yang did not agree, nor did he refuse, but just said to investigate. For this reason, Hong Mingjun asked his secretary Liu Lei to personally take charge of Lu Yang's affairs in Guizhou Province, which gave him enough face.

Lu Yang has not considered the investment for the time being. The next day, a group of more than 30 people (as well as staff from the Guizhou provincial government) arrived in a town in the southeastern part of the province.

"Mr. Lu, this is Jiuxi Town. You can also see that Jiuxi Town is full of peaks and river valleys, and it is difficult to get in and out ......," Tang Lijun pointed to a small town and panted.

Lu Yang thought so, and he himself was eye-opening along the way. If you didn't come here, it was really hard for Lu Yang to imagine that there was such an isolated place in Huaxia. The vast world is occupied by mountains, and when you go out of the mountains, several rapids more than ten meters wide cut off the road. There are no highways, no asphalt roads, only rugged mountain roads. People don't rely on transportation either, they rely entirely on their own feet.

"It's a pity that the scenery here is so beautiful." Lu Yang shook his head.

Director Cui personally accompanied Lu Yang and them, and when he heard Lu Yang's words, he sighed: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is useless to us." Many people here have lived in the mountains for generations, and they have never even been out of the village. What many places in Guizhou Province need now is not beautiful scenery, but hope to go out. ”

Regarding Director Cui's opinion, Lu Yang was noncommittal.

After more than five hours of trekking, everyone finally entered Jiuxi Town. After everyone ate, we went straight to rest, and we were so tired. Even Lu Yang slept very early that day, because there was no signal here, there was no way to access the Internet, and coupled with the fatigue of hurrying, Lu Yang fell asleep on the bed.

There are more than a dozen villages under Jiuxi Town, and these villages are all in the mountains and forests, and outsiders rarely come. In the town, there is a junior high school and an elementary school. Lu Yang took people to visit the two schools, and everyone was stunned by the humble school.

"My hometown, Huanghuai, is also a national poverty-stricken city, but at least, our schools there won't be like these." Lu Yang couldn't help but say.

Director Cui looked embarrassed: "Mr. Lu, this is also something that can't be helped." ”

At school, Lu Yang met with teachers from two schools. There are five teachers in junior high schools and even fewer in elementary schools, only three, and each teacher has to teach several subjects.

"Most of the people who can come here to go to school are children from the town, and other villages are too far away from the town for those children to come." Tang Qiuli introduced to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang nodded silently.

Along the way, Lu Yang visited five western cities, and under the leadership of Tang Qiuli, he truly understood the education situation in Guizhou Province. Every time he thought of the longing eyes of those children, Lu Yang's heart was a little tight, and at the same time, the sense of responsibility and mission in his heart became heavier.

During this period, Lu Yang also saw a lot of people and things that moved him, in these remote areas, there is a group of people who are silently persevering, in the eyes of the world, they are not famous and obscure, but for the children here, they are like the sun, bringing hope. These people are rural teachers scattered on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

"Sister Tang, when I came here, I realized that I have done too little and too little, and I can do too little and too little......" Back in Qianyang City, Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Qiuli is not as emotional as Lu Yang, she has seen too many places like this.

"Mr. Lu, in fact, you have done a lot. Apart from you, who in China will take out 1 billion to do charity? Who will donate hundreds of millions of dollars to the Nishikawa earthquake? However, despite this, the power of the individual is still too small, and if you want to change it, you need the support of more people. Tang Qiuli said.
