Chapter 108 Talent Cost Problem (2nd Update)
Wu Hongfei is also a vigorous and resolute master, after reporting the negotiation situation to the above, he began to stay happily, while waiting for the reply from above, he followed Cheng Yuan to visit the well-known "super school".
The enrollment action of the new school continues, after all, the recruitment of teachers is easy to say, but the enrollment behavior of students is very time-consuming because it has to be strictly scrutinized, after all, it is not a simple exam, but to check the real income of parents.
In addition, students who have passed the examination are not immediately arranged to enroll, but first enroll to adapt to the environment, and officially start school, and wait until the students are full before unified teaching. This is done in order to maximize the use of teaching resources while also allowing students to have a common starting point.
Because he is familiar with Cheng Yuan, after visiting the school's facilities and familiarizing himself with the school's policies, Wu Hongfei kept admiring Cheng Yuan's super school, but also raised a lot of doubts, including the kind of opinion that is still circulating on the Internet, that is, whether it is worth it.
In this regard, Cheng Yuan just smiled slightly: "In fact, there is nothing worth it or not, this kind of school has no promotion value for the time being, everything is just my private contribution to my hometown." Or I just want to give back to my hometown and let my hometown enjoy a little bit of welfare.
As you can see, the geographical surname restriction of this school is obvious, it is to look at the region first, and then look at the family situation. My original intention was just to make the village free of charge, but when it was built, it accidentally became bigger, and there were not so many school-age students enrolled in the village, so I began to expand the scope of enrollment and began to face the city.
So, if you just look at it from the perspective of returning home, it's very simple. It is precisely because I want to give back to my hometown that not only the school, but also the hospital and nursing home, I am also in preparation, and like my free hospital, it is all free, and the facilities are absolutely high-end. Of course, this time I will make a detailed calculation, and I will not go too far, and the scope of enjoyment will only be limited to people in my own village, and people in other places will not enjoy these treatments. ”
"I've heard of that, too." Wu Hongfei nodded, "Your idea of doing something for your hometown is good, and you have the ability to do so, which is understandable." However, your construction standards are also too high, and the high ones are eye-catching. If nothing else, let's just say that these two schools of yours, I dare say that in terms of luxury, they are definitely the first in the world.
You have also seen what happened before, you should know that our people are not as rational as Westerners, and you are so high-profile and treated so well, it will only cause more trouble. Now it is only temporarily suppressed, and as time goes by, in order to enjoy this kind of free admission, free medical care and free pension, they will definitely try every means to get a local hukou, just like when they wanted a hukou in Beijing. Obviously, in this situation of short supply, the people who can get your village's hukou will definitely not be ordinary people, so your original idea of benefiting low-income people will no longer be valid. ”
"So what." Cheng Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "You have also seen the system of my school, for the original residents of this village, all school-age children can be enrolled." As for the newly added hukou in the village after the completion of the school, they do not enjoy this kind of indiscriminate enrollment treatment, but must continue to check the hukou, and they must be low-income people. Therefore, if the hukou in our village is really so popular and it costs a lot of money to come in, then these people will definitely earn a lot of money, which is equivalent to automatically losing the qualification to enter the school. ”
"What about medical care and pension?" Wu Hongfei continued to ask, "You won't also make a red line for low-income people." ”
"Of course." Cheng Yuan generously admitted, "My hospital and nursing home, the same is to take care of the area first, and then look at the family income, only the low-income people in my hometown can enjoy my high-end pension and medical care, high income, spend their own money to go to other hospitals or find other medical insurance, my hospital and nursing home, not for them." ”
opened his mouth, Wu Hongfei just wanted to say something more, such as fairness and other issues, but looking at Cheng Yuan's appearance, he knew that it was useless to say it, so he simply didn't say it.
Anyway, this is all what people mean, people just use their own money to give back to their hometown, and others can't say anything.
Just when Wu Hongfei began to be silent, Fanya suddenly walked over and whispered in Cheng Yuan's ear: "Lawyer Zhuang came over, saying that the things you explained are almost done, do you want to see him?" ”
"Where's the man?"
"I'm waiting at the gate of the elementary school." Fanya pointed to the phone in her hand, "I just called." ”
"Well, let's meet then." After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he said to Wu Hongfei, "I'm sorry, Director Wu, I still have some personal matters, so I'll miss it first." ”
"It's okay, you can be busy, you don't have to accompany me." Wu Hongfei waved his hand, "I'll just see for myself." ”
"Hehe, that's good, you can watch it." Cheng Yuan nodded, and then found a male teacher and asked him to accompany Wu Hongfei throughout the whole process to visit the school's facilities, while he himself followed Fanya to the gate of the primary school by electric car.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the gate, I found an Audi A4 parked outside the door, and there were two people, a man and a woman, standing outside the car.
Among them, the man was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked very calm and shrewd; The other girl was wearing a sportswear, she looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked very foreign, her face was full of curiosity, and she kept looking at her surroundings.
That girl Cheng Yuan didn't know, but he knew the thin middle-aged man, because this person had a relationship with Cheng Yuan, and it was Zhuang Mingzhe, a lawyer recommended by Liang Hua to help him fight Zhang Dongquan's lawsuit.
"Oops, Lawyer Zhuang." Far away, Cheng Yuan took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and after the other party walked up quickly and shook his hand, he smiled and said, "Really, just make a phone call, why do you have to come all the way over?" What a hassle. ”
"No trouble, no trouble." This lawyer Zhuang Mingzhe hurriedly smiled, "First, there are some things on the phone that are not clear, and second, I heard Mr. Liang say that there is a new case on your side, so I came over to see if I could help." ”
"Hmm." Cheng Yuan nodded and said no more.
Cheng Yuan knew that this new case in Zhuang Mingzhe's mouth must refer to Lin Tianzhi's matter, because at the beginning, he was based on the principle of working harder for the capable, and he also explained these things to Liang Hua to do.
However, it is said that Liang Hua had already arranged for someone to hire a lawyer with a very strong relationship in the local area to fight this lawsuit, and did not find Zhuang Mingzhe.
After all, in a lawsuit in China, the lawyer's ability mainly depends on the relationship with the local public procuratorate, so the local lawyer is the most reliable, and even if the foreign lawyer reads the law well, it cannot be compared with the local lawyer in this regard, unless it involves cross-regional, or major political or criminal cases.
In other words, whether it is Zhang Dongquan's case or Lin Tianzhi's case, in fact, he doesn't have to come in person. Obviously, this Zhuang Mingzhe came in a hurry, either to ask for himself, or to pat himself on the back, no matter how you look at it, it is the first possibility.
Cheng Yuan didn't break it, and asked directly: "By the way, how is my case?" ”
"It is in the review stage, and the court will be held next week." Zhuang Mingzhe smiled, with a sense of confidence on his face, "Don't worry, the evidence is conclusive, this time I promise that Zhang Dongquan will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
"Hmm." Cheng Yuan nodded.
"Huh." Zhuang Mingzhe smiled, "Let's not talk about the criminal case, he can't run, and you don't know, before I came over, the civil compensation matter has been identified, this time Zhang Dongquan hit your car, and I have to compensate you at least 130 million yuan, hehe, it is definitely to make him bankrupt, and the most important thing is that the blow to his family's prestige is also very heavy." I'm afraid that once this happens, his family will decline completely, and the old man Zhang, who is known as the secretary below, will really become an idler. ”
"Huh." Hearing this, Cheng Yuan smiled lightly.
That's right, that old man Zhang may have just loved Sun and looked for someone to scare him, but his counterattack was very sharp, and the set of planting and blaming was perfect, plus the gimmick of the robot, it was impossible not to make a big fuss.
After that, coupled with the spread of rumors on the Internet, what kind of underground secretary and the like spread everywhere, and the whole city was troubled, no, there is nothing that the people of the whole country do not know, even if this is not the case, I am afraid that some people will also be unhappy, such as a certain current official secretary, what will he think?
It's a pity that later, one after another, I was so busy that I didn't have time to pay attention to these, but I didn't know that this matter had already settled, not only that Zhang Dongquan had been sentenced to be severe, but even the old man Zhang had lost all his majestic aura and power, and he had completely degenerated into an old man who was retired in the National People's Congress.
Oh, and that Li Qianqian, I don't know what she's going to do now......
As soon as he thought of this, Cheng Yuan immediately shook his head: Forget it, what do you want to do, she and herself are no longer people in the same world, and it is useless to think about it.
"Oh, and that Lin Tianzhi, I also read his case." Zhuang Mingzhe said, "Actually, this matter is not complicated, as long as you are willing to spend some money, he doesn't even have to sit in prison for 37 days, as long as we ...... with the hospital."
"Don't talk about it." Cheng Yuan hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "Anyway, that friend of mine has made a mistake, so he will be punished by the law." I can help him within the scope of the rules, but that doesn't mean I can trample on the law at will. ”
Indeed, before he said this, the lawyer Lu Huaming, who was said to be very skilled in the local area, also suggested to him, saying that as long as he spent some money and communicated up and down, the case could be directly handled with insufficient evidence, and he could be treated as having a "short-term mental illness" attack and did not have normal behavioral capacity, so he could be let go if he did not file the case.
However, Cheng Yuan denied the other party's approach, after all, although he wanted to help his friends, he was not this kind of unprincipled help.
In his opinion, if his friend made a mistake, then help him within his ability, let him get his due rights, and get a fair punishment, this is enough, the kind of use of his own strength to forcibly walk the crooked path and avoid the punishment of the law, but obviously challenge his bottom line, at least when it does not touch his personal interests, yes.
Although Cheng Yuan's approach may be no different from taking off his pants and farting in the eyes of others, but he is the boss, since he spoke like this, that lawyer Lu can only find another way, and during this period, he will continue to let Lin Tianzhi stay in the detention center.
However, yesterday, lawyer Lu gave Cheng Yuan a phone call, saying that this matter is almost handled, and the court will announce the verdict soon, with his professional judgment, because Lin Tianzhi attempted robbery, and there is a voluntary surrender situation, plus a good attitude of admitting guilt, it is still a first offense, and he may be given a light sentence, and he is sentenced to three years in prison and three years of probation, and if he behaves well during the probation, he does not need to go to jail.
"Okay, what the hell are you looking for me?" Cheng Yuan decided not to go around in circles with him, "It won't just care about my cases, right?" ”
"This ......" found that Cheng Yuan didn't care about these things at all, Zhuang Mingzhe stopped talking nonsense, and quickly pointed to the girl next to him, "This is my daughter, the only daughter, called Zhuang Xinxin." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly called his daughter: "Xinxin, hurry up and call uncle." ”
The girl named Zhuang Xinxin nodded hurriedly: "Hello uncle." ”
"Well, good." Nodding, Cheng Yuan then looked back at Zhuang Mingzhe and frowned, "Let me guess, you don't want your daughter to study in my school, right?" ”
"This ...... I know I can't hide it from you. Zhuang Mingzhe didn't hide it, "I had this idea, so I brought her over personally." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed: "I only have such a daughter, since his mother left this world, I have only one relative, and she is also the most precious treasure in my life." But, as you know, I'm usually very busy, and I don't have much time to take care of her, so, so, so ...... Well, I've watched the news about your school, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best in the world, and it just so happens that I know you because of the lawsuit, so I wondered if I could use your face to let her come to your school to study. ”
"This ...... Lao Zhuang. Cheng Yuan sighed, "It's true that my school is good, I don't deny this, but you won't know the policies of my school here, right?" ”
"Yes." Zhuang Mingzhe nodded, "Although my conditions are not suitable, but, Cheng Dong, I hope you can understand the idea of being a father, and for the sake of me doing a little thing for you, let my daughter enter this school...... When I beg you, will you? As long as you promise to let my daughter go to school, you can let me do anything! ”
"Why bother." Cheng Yuan sighed, "Lao Zhuang, forget about this matter, I won't agree." ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, listen to me." Cheng Yuan waved his hand, "I don't agree, it's because since I set the rules, I can't break this rule by myself, otherwise today you come to intercede, tomorrow he comes to intercede, and this matter will be endless." Besides, you are in the Upper East, and her daughter is in Linjia Village, and the two places are far apart, so it is not convenient to contact, right? ”
"It's okay, I can come and see him once a week." Zhuang Mingzhe hurriedly said.
"It's all said, don't worry." Cheng Yuan smiled, "Actually, you didn't understand, this school is just an experimental school that I returned to my hometown, and it's just a beginning, not that I won't do it in the future." In other words, I plan to build a few more high-standard schools in the Landong New District of Upper East City in the future, but at that time, I will not have this kind of low-income children's standard, but will use students' grades and financial contributions as the standard, which is a typical aristocratic school. If you want, when my new school in the Upper East is built, you can let your children live there. ”
"Is this true?" Zhuang Mingzhe hurriedly asked.
"Of course it's true." Cheng Yuan smiled, "When did I talk and not count?" ”
"But haven't you been advocating for the care of low-income people, how can you run any aristocratic schools?" Zhuang Mingzhe asked again.
"Who's to say I've always advocated for caring for low-income people?" Cheng Yuan said strangely.
"That's what it says on the Internet." It was Zhuang Xinxin who spoke, "They all say that you are an idealist, and that although you are not very reliable, your kindness to take care of low-income people is impeccable." Many of our classmates also say that you are a contemporary philanthropist and utopian socialist, and that you are a contemporary Robert? Irving. ”
"Hey, I didn't expect to be mistaken like this." Cheng Yuan shook his head with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Zhuang Xinxin asked again.
"Shin Shin!" Zhuang Mingzhe immediately frowned, "Why do you talk to Cheng Dong like this?" ”
"Forget it, it's fine." Shaking his head, Cheng Yuan smiled at Zhuang Xinxin and said, "Actually, everyone has misunderstood, I have never been an idealist, the reason why this policy of free school for children of low-income people is just to give back to my hometown, it is just a benefit that I personally give to my hometown, but this does not mean that I will always be like this, or I especially agree with this." ”
"This, why do you understand it more and more when you talk about it?" Zhuang Xinxin frowned.
"It's actually quite simple, the school here is just a special case." Cheng Yuandao, "If you want everyone to have a good life, the key is to improve productivity." If productivity is high enough and wealth resources are sufficient, then the people naturally do not have to worry about free education, free medical care, etc., on the other hand, if the productivity is not high enough, the wealth is not enough, and the population is large, then absolute fairness is a disaster.
The reason why China is unable to achieve free medical care, free education, free pension and other things today is not at all [***], nor is it how bad the political system is and how unfair the distribution is, but the lack of productivity and the total wealth of the society is too small. When our productive forces are large enough and our wealth is enough, then it is natural to engage in free medical care and free education.
Of course, those things are actually the responsibility of the political axe, and with my current ability and the power I have, I can only take care of some small places, such as my hometown. But if I want to continue to run the school non-stop, if I want to form a cycle of good surnames, I must go through the aristocratic school. ”
"But if you run an aristocratic school, doesn't that increase injustice?" Zhuang Xinxin said, "Rich families go to good schools, and they will get stronger and stronger, isn't this unfair to low-income people?" ”
"Why don't you understand? The key is the cost of talent. Cheng Yuandao, "Allowing students who study well and students from wealthy families to obtain high-quality resources is actually a way to have the lowest cost of talents." After all, it is far cheaper to train a student with good academic performance to become a talent than to train a student with poor academic performance. In the same way, cultivating a student from a rich family, because the rich will give us a lot of wealth, is also cost-effective in balancing the cost of cultivating talents. It is precisely because of this that Western countries have always done this, and if I want to vigorously develop the elite education in my mind, I will naturally do the same. ”
Seeing what Zhuang Xinxin wanted to say, Zhuang Mingzhe hurriedly interrupted his daughter's words: "Okay, Xinxin, don't make trouble!" ”
After speaking, Zhuang Mingzhe looked at Cheng Yuan: "Cheng Dong, what you said is true, do you really want to open a school of this scale in the Upper East?" ”
"Of course." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Actually, you may not know that since I opened this school, many schools at home and abroad have sent invitations, hoping to establish friendly relations with my school and carry out exchange activities." ”
"That's for sure." Zhuang Mingzhe hurriedly said, "Your school is so good and has so many high-end facilities, they are naturally willing to send students over." ”
"Okay? Hehe, it seems to me to be very ordinary. Cheng Yuan shook his head, "The aristocratic school I want to build in the Upper East is better than here, and it will be bigger and more complete than here." After all, the innate advantages here are insufficient, and they are much worse than Shangdong, both in terms of geographical location and other aspects. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes: "I have decided, when I am done here, I will return to Upper East City and build up the Landong Development Zone first." If nothing else, schools alone must be built into kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and even universities, all of which must be built into high-tech campuses. Around these high-tech schools, a series of high-tech residential communities will be built, and a high-end academic district will be formed! Around this high-tech school district, there will be a series of high-tech factories and high-tech farms, thus forming a whole high-tech industrial chain...... Hmph, I don't believe it, the new area I smashed out with high-tech and high capital will not be able to attract more talents, and I will not be able to cultivate more talents! (To be continued.) )
