Chapter 434 Donation to the education industry
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The traffic environment of foreign developed countries made the Hongqi Township delegation deeply envious, and the country roads were so clean and looked blue-black asphalt roads were extremely solid.
Hongqi Township has 11 administrative villages, distributed over a vast land of 60 square kilometers, with a cultivated area of nearly 40,000 mu and a total population of 20,000.
The transportation here is convenient, the north is connected to the provincial national highway in the south of Bincheng, and Hongqi Township is the only place to pass through the highway from Bincheng to Shuangcheng, the rural highway can greatly accelerate the economic development of the township, and the GDP of Hongqi Township is stable more than 8% per year!
Of course, now the Hongqi Township Party Committee and Government have not thought of going to the economy, they just want to build the roads in the township, and it is best to catch up with the wide and excellent American countryside, and then it will be much smoother to drive a tractor on the road!
Lin Qiangsheng also actively participated in the construction of Hongqi Township, for which he also transferred European and American engineers from Dongxing Properties to let them come to Hongqi Township to plan road development for the township government. Dongxing will purchase Trinidad natural lake asphalt from overseas, the asphalt aging process is very slow, the stability and deformation resistance at high temperature is strong, its design life is 30 years, more than twice that of other ordinary asphalt, no need for repair, overhaul, resurfacing halfway, greatly reducing maintenance costs.
The most valuable thing is that this natural asphalt paved road is very beautiful, and the blue-black pavement is bright and very textured, which is unique in the world!
Dongxing company will also build two schools for the township, a kindergarten, primary school, junior high school and a high school, the construction costs of these two schools are completely borne by Dongxing company, which will be paid from the profits of the hardware factory in recent years, which is also regarded as the first more influential educational charity in China that Dongxing company began to do.
On January 20, the cadres and masses of Hongqi Township led by the Secretary of the Party Committee of He Yunhai Township and Comrade Miyamoto Yan, Deputy Mayor of Bincheng, who were specially invited, attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hongqi Township section of Bincheng National Highway.
After the ceremony, Lin Qiangsheng accompanied Vice Mayor Miyamoto Yan to visit the site of the township primary school, which covers a large area. Because it is composed of three parts: kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and three different age groups, in order not to interfere with each other's learning schedule, it is divided into three campuses.
They are arranged in an inverted zigzag pattern, with a kindergarten for children between 2~5 years old to the south, and an elementary school for children between the ages of 6 and 12 on the east. The junior high school is located on the west side and admits students between the ages of 13 and 15.
In this era, most children usually start the first grade of primary school at the age of eight, and regardless of the regulations of the Ministry of Education of the North and South, students must be born before September to be allowed to enroll, and students after September must enroll in the following year. However, in some areas in the south, you can go to grade at the age of 5~6, and here in province H, if you want your child to go to school early, you have to dig out the back door to find a relationship!
Lin Qiangsheng is not very clear why the Ministry of Education has so many regulations and some areas are different, but the admission requirements for the schools he built will be relaxed. The principals and teachers of these two schools will also be jointly selected and hired by Dongxing Company and the township, which is a plan that has been discussed with Hongqi Township in advance, and the township does not take those bullshit regulations of the Ministry of Education seriously, which makes Lin Qiangsheng very satisfied!
It's also good to be in the countryside. If it is in the city, the education department will definitely have to jump out and criticize education as soon as possible. And in the countryside is a lot freer, the cadres of the Provincial Department of Education came to eat and drink after eating and drinking, experienced the enthusiasm of the villagers, and then happily waved the pen, yes, not allowed, what to do if they don't dump them when they come back, so these schools have become the Hongqi Township Experimental Kindergarten, Hongqi Township Experimental Primary School, Experimental Junior High School, and Experimental High School.
The school plans to merge all the original township-run and village-run schools into the new school building, which will adopt full-time boarding management and build a student canteen. Swimming pools and physical training halls offer swimming lessons and boxing courses. This part of the cost is funded by Dongxing and the township enterprises. Lin Qiangsheng will even add taekwondo and extreme vacuum karate courses after the school is completed. In addition, the school will offer home economics classes, cooking classes, and female celebrity courses for girls, and bodybuilding courses for boys at the appropriate age. The school will also provide nutritious meals, which will be procured by Dongxing Company and implemented low-cost operation.
Dongxing Company will do education as an industry in the future, and about 60 million preschool children are produced in the country every year, and the same teenagers and girls enter the school gate of primary school, middle school and university every year. Education has always been a big market. The sooner Dongxing enters this industry, the better, and the strength of Dongxing can make the education industry the first level in China!
These schools are built in accordance with the model of higher private schools in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and in the future, the school will also hire foreign teachers and take the form of direct communication with foreign universities to send students directly to foreign universities to study!
Lin Johnson has good cooperation with the University of Modena in Italy and USC in the United States, and he can even become a board member of USC.
Mr. Lin owns a lot of land and real estate around USC. And it is always expanding, USC is not large now, and the only way for the school to expand is to buy Lin Qiangsheng's land, and Lin Qiangsheng will choose the opportunity to cooperate with a famous school like USC, which is his biggest advantage in setting up a private education industry!
Miyamoto Yan laughed while looking at the drawings and said: "If these schools are built, won't they become the best campuses in Bincheng, even the natatorium and gymnasium, and the schools in the province do not have such a good facility environment, I think they have caught up with foreign countries!" ”
Wu Tao, director of the Provincial Department of Education, accompanied, he also said: "Dongxing Company has done a great thing on the education front in the province, the country attaches great importance to education at this stage, but now the domestic economy is in difficulty, and there is a shortage of money everywhere!" Dongxing Company donated 20 million yuan to help students at this time, which is unique in the country! This is our pennant, Mr. Lim, thank you for your contribution to the people of HLJ province, and I thank you on their behalf! ”
Someone next to him handed over a big pennant that Director Wu took over and handed it to Lin Qiangsheng with both hands, and Lin Qiangsheng happily took it.
Handing the pennant to his subordinates, Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said, "Director Wu, thank you, thank you very much for the support of the Provincial Department of Education!" However, I would like to say that Dongxing Company is not the first donation in China to support education, and I still have to humbly admit it at this point! ”
Director Wu Tao and Deputy Mayor Miyamoto Yan looked at Lin Qiangsheng curiously, and Miyamoto Yan asked, "Xiaolin, where is this first one?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng said: "This is the first in China, and it has been robbed of Shantou University, which was donated by Mr. Li Ka-shing in Hong Kong!" People have been preparing in 80 years, founded in 81, and the groundbreaking ceremony held on New Year's Day this year, this is a university, and the donations have exceeded 100 million yuan! And like other charitable activities such as donating to build primary and secondary schools, Guangdong has received even more! ”
Lin Qiangsheng didn't want to leave a showy example for these officials in the province, and he didn't want someone to be bold enough to ask him for money in the future, who could believe their integrity!
Wu Tao patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, I also know about this!" Alas, the southern coast is close to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are many overseas Chinese! Now that the reform and opening up has been carried out, there is a good thing that is all theirs, and in this regard, we HLJ belong to the remote areas and are much worse! In recent years, not to mention donating money to education, there is no overseas Chinese who repair bridges and pave roads, fortunately, you Dongxing Company has made a lot of luck! ”
"Well, we HLJ can't say that no one will help, two years ago our province taught the new technology of high-yield dry seedling transplanting that is popular in Japan, and now the province has been widely promoted, with an average yield of more than 400 kilograms of rice per mu!" Miyamoto said casually.
"The rice harvest is good!" Lin Qiangsheng raised his eyebrows and kept this in his heart.
Before leaving, Director Wu Tao held Lin Qiangsheng's hand and said: "On behalf of the comrades of the province's education department, I thank Dongxing Company for its contributions, and after several schools are completed, the provincial department will select some outstanding teachers to help you run the school!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng, He Yunhai and others hurriedly thanked them, this promise is too timely, and no matter how good the school facilities are, they can't replace the role of excellent teachers!
Of course, the reason why Director Wu Tao helped so much was because this time he could take part of the student grant to subsidize the hole in the Provincial Department of Education, and the provincial education department was of course very happy, and they were quite active.
A few days later, on January 24, an extremely important and influential and newsworthy event occurred in the United States in the personal computer world.
Apple blatantly infringed on the trademark patent owned by Dongxing Electronics Co., Ltd. Macintosh (Macintosh) computer, referred to as Mac, which is widely known as the Apple machine in China!
When people with a heart checked it, they found that this trademark had been preemptively registered by Lin Qiangsheng very early, and Apple directly infringed the trademark patents of Dongxing Electronics, Compaq, Dell, Pentium and other computer companies, software companies, as well as Lin Qiangsheng, a very influential capitalist investor in Silicon Valley and California.
The American computer industry and the media immediately paid attention to the incident, and speculated about how Lin Johnson would react. Many media writers and spokespeople even speculated that Lin Johnson might blackmail Apple into giving up the use of this trademark, or maybe he would sell this trademark to Apple at a high price!
Macintosh is the second Apple computer after LISA to use a graphical user interface (GUI), which is a revolutionary example of industrial design!
Because people love its appearance, Apple quickly received countless orders after the release of this computer, injecting new vitality into Apple, which has been declining for nearly two years!
Before this, Pentium Computer Company had not imitated this computer, but unfortunately, Lin Qiangsheng had never seen what this computer looked like, so he only made something with a name that was not like a god.
So on January 24, 84, when the young Jobs stood on the stage of the Flint Center in Cupertino, California, and showed his Macintosh computer to the world, when that stocky device greeted the audience "Hello everyone, I'm a Macintosh", Apple succeeded, and Jobs succeeded again! (To be continued.) )
