Chapter 138: Built in a Mountain City

Chu Yuanchen was a little cramped, Smith was tall and burly, well-dressed, and had an elegant temperament, and at first glance he was the kind of successful businessman.

"Mr. Allen, you've won the prize."

"No, I didn't have an award, Chu is really very good, he saved my life, in the words of you Chinese, the grace of saving lives should be repaid with fists."

Smith's pronunciation was inaccurate, and Yongquan reported that he was using a fist, and Chu Lingyun couldn't wait to punch him.

"Inside, please, my friends."

Smith was still immersed in his acting skills, and after greeting him, he made a gentleman's invitation, fortunately, Chu Lingyun had explained in advance that he should not let him practice Western etiquette to his mother.

If Smith dared to kiss his mother's cheek or the back of his hand, Chu Lingyun would definitely beat him.

The living room of the villa is large and luxuriously decorated.

Chu Lingyun also hired two servants temporarily, one of the maids came over to make them coffee, and Smith invited them to sit down on the sofa like a master.

This villa was rented by Chu Lingyun because of his relationship, if it wasn't for the owner's temporary departure, it would be impossible to rent it.

Seeing such a good place, coupled with Chu Lingyun's assurance, Chu Yuanchen completely believed in Smith's identity.

Chu Yuanchen is a straight person, and after sitting down, he will ask directly: "Mr. Allen, I heard that you want to donate to build a school......

Smith suddenly waved his hand: "Mr. Chu, don't worry, listen to me first." ”

According to the script given to him by Chu Lingyun, Smith told a beautiful story about himself. When he first arrived in China, he went to Chongqing, where he lived happily for a year.

When it comes to the mountains and rivers of Chongqing, Smith is the head of the road, and people who don't know really think he has been there.

"Chongqing is a beautiful city, but unfortunately I can't go there and see it again before I return to China."

In the end, Smith looked regretful, and his acting skills were enough to add a chicken leg.

"Mr. Allen, Chongqing is indeed good, when will you return to China?"

Chu Yuanchen didn't know why Smith talked so much about Chongqing, and thought that he was reluctant to give up on China before parting.

"Three days later, I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow, and you guys are here in time."

"You're leaving tomorrow?"

Chu Yuanchen was stunned, and glanced at his son with some dissatisfaction, everyone was leaving, and he didn't inform himself in time, so he came in advance when he knew it.

"It's okay, I'll take care of all the things here before I leave, Mr. Chu, you already know that I'm going to donate to build a school, but I have a few requirements for this school." Smith looked up, haughty.

"Mr. Allen, you are very affectionate."

Chu Yuanchen hurriedly said, for him, the establishment of the school is the most important, this is not an ordinary school, but a school that is exempt from tuition fees and has scholarships.

Such a school is even more difficult, and it can help more poor students.

"First, this school must be built in Chongqing."

As soon as Smith finished speaking, Chu Yuanchen and his wife were dumbfounded, they thought that they could donate money to build a school anywhere, so they specially discussed where this school was most suitable to build in Ningcheng.

As a result, the first requirement was to build the school in Chongqing.

They had never been to Chongqing, and they had the impression that Chongqing was very far away.

Smith continued: "Second, Mr. Chu must be the principal, I can't trust the others. ”

Chu Yuanchen was stunned again, and only let him be the principal, doesn't that mean that he has to go to Chongqing?

"Mr. Allen, I can recommend you a man of high moral standing to be the headmaster, I guarantee that he is reliable."

Chu Yuanchen said hurriedly, he didn't have any plans to leave Ning City at all, it was too sudden.

Smith stretched out his index finger and shook it with his head: "No, it can only be you, this is my reward for Chu's life-saving grace, if someone else comes to be the principal, I won't build it." ”

Chu Yuanchen was stunned, this school must be made the principal, and it must be built in Chongqing, isn't it difficult for a strong man?

He hurriedly looked at his son, hoping that Chu Lingyun could help persuade Smith.

Noticing his father's eyes, Chu Lingyun shook his head slightly, and said softly: "I talked to Smith before, he insisted on doing this, I can't persuade him, you know, some foreigners are very stubborn. ”

"Third, after the completion of this school, it is not easy for too many students, and the limit is 200, and my funds are not so sufficient, so I can only help these people for the time being."

Smith finished talking about his three conditions, the third is no problem, now the level of education in the country is not high, and there are 200 people in middle school.

But the first two points made Chu Yuanchen very difficult.

"Mr. Allen, I know you have good intentions, but I still have a job in Ningcheng and can't get out, you have no problem building the school in Chongqing, I promise to find you a suitable principal."

Chu Yuanchen was still fighting, Smith shook his head again, and said affirmatively: "No, it can only be you, I will give you five thousand dollars in construction fees for this school, if it is not enough, you can add more, and give you another five thousand dollars in operating expenses every year." ”

The school built by Chu Lingyun did not intend to charge fees, and a small amount of fees refers to the cost of food, tuition and books.

Five thousand dollars, equivalent to more than 16,000 legal currency, is certainly enough to build a school for 200 students.

The annual operating cost of 5,000 US dollars is definitely enough for a school of 200 students, and if you save a little, you can also subsidize the food for these children.

"In addition, Mr. Chu, your remuneration is one thousand dollars per year, and I will give you this money separately, not from my donation fee."

One thousand dollars, more than three thousand fiat currency, is more than twice Chu Yuanchen's current income.

This price is very sincere, Chu Yuanchen can't say anything, and the principal of his school doesn't have so much.

"Think about it, I'm tomorrow morning's train, and I'll give you an answer by tomorrow. If I agree, I will give Chu the first batch of construction funds and three years of operating expenses, a total of 20,000 US dollars, if not, then unfortunately, this school will have to wait until I return to China in the future to go to Chongqing to build it myself. ”

Smith took the coffee cup, which meant the send-off.

"Smith, thank you for your support of education in our country, we will think about it and take our leave."

Chu Yuanchen still wanted to speak, but Chu Lingyun hurriedly grabbed him and left with them.

Smith's performance is very good, the strength is moderate, how can Chu Lingyun give his father a chance to negotiate with him, if you say too much, you will lose, and leave as soon as possible.

In this way, the father can be forced to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Goodbye, my friends, I hope to hear good news from you, not regrets."

Smith also sent them to the door, adding another fire to them before leaving.
