A new year is coming (1991).

After New Year's Day, Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiying came to the capital and were received by the high-level.

Subsequently, accompanied by the leaders of the Ministry of Education, the group went to Shuchuan for inspection.

The purpose of this visit was that Lin Zhichao decided to donate a huge amount of money to the southwest region (Sichuan Guiyun) for the development of a large number of primary and secondary school infrastructure. As for the amount of donations, everything is decided after the examination.

The mainland authorities did not dare to treat Lin Zhichao and his wife slowly, and sent Mr. Mu Zi, the chief of education, to accompany them, and the destination of the inspection was a remote mountain village primary school in Shuchuan, which was personally decided by Lin Zhichao.

Before leaving, Lin Zhichao and his wife were ready to endure hardships, but they didn't expect it to be so hard in the end.

On the plane to Shudu.

Chief Muzi said: "Mr. Lin, Shuchuan's per capita GDP exceeded 1,100 yuan last year, reaching 1,136 yuan, what proportion of this data is in Hong Kong? Will it be a hundredfold? ”

Lin Zhichao shook his head and said: "Last year, Hong Kong's per capita GDP was 110,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is about 70,000 RMB, so it is almost sixty or seventy times. ”

Chief Mu Zi sighed: "I didn't expect Hong Kong to be so developed, and I didn't expect our country to be so poor. Funds for education are often stretched thin. Fortunately, with the help of Mr. Lin and overseas compatriots like Mr. Lin, the education in our country has been greatly improved. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "We are drifting overseas, whether it is 50 years or 100 years, our feelings for the motherland will not weaken by half a point. Therefore, everyone is also willing to come back to see if they can help the construction of the country over the years. ”

In recent years, overseas Chinese billionaires have returned to China, and if they donate money, they will basically choose the education industry. Chief Muzi should have a deep feeling about this aspect.

Education is the foundation of a country's development.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Lin Zhichao is very recognized by Huaxia education, although there are many drawbacks of 'exam-oriented education', but it is the fundamental reason for the rapid development of Huaxia. If China is a developed country, it can also learn from the 'happy education' of Europe and the United States, but it is clear that in the field of education in China, it has its own national conditions.

The donation of infrastructure for primary and secondary schools, the 'Lin Zhichao Foundation' has no budget and is not capped. This is because Lin Zhichao feels that now is the time when the national education needs the most donations.

This trip, Lin Zhichao, with his colleagues from the 'Lin Zhichao Foundation' and his wife Tang Caiying, is a real 'experience trip'; only by experiencing that kind of environment can we truly do charitable things.

If Lin Zhichao buys political insurance alone, there is no need for him to donate so much. is like the Guo Desheng family in the previous life, who didn't donate any money and won many real estate projects in the mainland.

And Lin Zhichao's charity is purely a level of self-realm, as well as the promise he made to get the 'first pot of gold' that year. The gold he picked up that year was worth millions of Hong Kong dollars, and he promised to give back to the society 10,000 times, that is, to donate 10 billion.

Of course, 10,000 times to give back to the society is definitely more than that, 100,000 times is about the same. Now that Lin Zhichao is semi-retired, he will also increase his philanthropy again.

After repairing in Shudu for one night, Lin Zhichao and his entourage set off again the next day and rushed to a primary school in a mountainous area. The accompanying staff was increased again, accompanied by officials from the province.

This time I came to Shuchuan, and I didn't consider investment, so I didn't stay in Shudu. Despite this, the big guy here yesterday still accompanied him personally, and everyone had dinner together.

"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, it will take about six or seven hours, and there will be some bumps along the way, please bear with me!" After Chief Muzi got into the car, he said apologetically.

He has just explained to the people in the province that he must pay attention to this trip, the conditions can be poor, but there must be sincerity.

After all, according to Lin Zhichao's style, the amount of this donation may be huge, and Southwest Education has benefited a lot.

Lin Zhichao immediately said politely: "Chief Muzi don't think about us, we also experienced hardships back then, so we are not so hypocritical." And in this inspection, we just want to experience the most real situation, so please don't take special care of us, contrary to my original intention. ”

He has repeatedly emphasized that this journey should not be troubled, as long as it can be successfully reached, everything can be simplified. He is also semi-retired now, and he can stay as many days as he wants.

As for Tang Caiying, although she has never suffered, with Lin Zhichao taking care of her, there will be nothing. What's more, she is the manager of the 'Lin Zhichao Foundation', and it is very necessary to accompany her husband on the inspection this time, and she herself is very much looking forward to it, and there are no complaints about the whole trip.

"Okay, Mr. Lin is really a saint!" Mr. Muzi gave a high evaluation.

This Hong Kong-funded B family has been of great help to Huaxia, just a Foshan University, it is very beautiful, and it has won the recognition and support of the top people.

This road is really rugged and difficult to travel, originally an eight-hour drive, and the road was blocked for two hours because of falling rocks, and finally it was not until the evening that it arrived in the Bazhong area under the jurisdiction of the Daxian Prefecture of the North Sichuan Administration (now Dazhou).

The trip is not yet complete, because it has just arrived at the county seat, and tomorrow we will go to the countryside, and it is expected that there will be two or three hours of driving.

That night, Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiying were in the guest house, and they really experienced what it means to be 'poor'.

It's still the best guest house in the county, and the rooms are yellowed sheets and have a faint musty smell. The important thing is that this is a typical mountainous area, and the cold and humid air makes people feel like minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Lin Zhichao looked at Tang Caiying, who was at a loss, and said with a smile: "I said you don't need it, you have to come along!" ”

Tang Caiying immediately regained her disgusted expression and said: "How can there be any meaning in doing things if you don't come, just like you said, charity is not just about giving away money, but about really feeling its value." Then he added: "What's more, I won't feel bitter wherever I go with you." ”

After speaking, she took Lin Zhichao's arm and still refused to go to bed.

Lin Zhichao reluctantly took her, lay on the bed together, and hugged Tang Caiying to relieve her discomfort. Lin Zhichao did not interfere with the consumption concept of these women, but encouraged them to wear European and American luxury goods and enjoy life.

On the contrary, Lin Zhichao has not spent money on wearing it for many years, and he may wear a suit for ten years, and it is all his own brand (crocodile shirt, Uniqlo). Of course, Lin Zhichao's private jets and superyachts are very expensive.

In short, when it comes to Lin Zhichao's status, he will not pursue things that he can't touch, such as clothes worth hundreds of thousands, and as for private jets and superyachts, they can really feel the enjoyment.

"After this trip, I plan to re-develop the 'Lin Zhichao Foundation', mainly by holding equity in other companies to sustain future philanthropy. For example, if I inject 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, I will not immediately use it for charity, but will choose to invest in the equity of some enterprises and use the dividends of these enterprises every year to do charity. ”

Tang Caiying was lying comfortably in Lin Zhichao's arms, the smell of men made her forget the musty smell and environment here, she said: "Lin Zhichao Foundation already holds 21% Cheung Kong Group and 20% Wharf Group, and the annual dividends are also hundreds of millions, and there will be more in the future, isn't it enough?" ”

Cheung Kong Group and Wharf Group are both large groups of listed companies in Hong Kong, and the Lin Zhichao Foundation owns more than 20% of the shares, which can be described as rich in asset value. It's like half of the assets of Lin Ruihuan and Lin Ruihai.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "It's not enough!" For example, this time, my idea says to donate 3~5 billion, so the one-year dividend is still missing. But I have been injecting funds for a long time, so I still plan to hold shares to ensure that the Lin Zhichao Foundation can have more philanthropic strength. ”

Tang Caiying said: "Well, I support your decision!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "In fact, it doesn't cost much, I took out 2 billion Hong Kong dollars from Victoria Harbour Investment, and later found an opportunity to invest in some Hong Kong listed companies, and I can basically meet the charitable donations in the future." ”

In fact, it may not be enough for Lin Zhichao's 'charity profligacy' in the early days, but it will definitely be more than enough in the future.

Lin Zhichao also has many group companies, and the shares will not be included in the 'Lin Zhichao Foundation', because this foundation is a 'public foundation', and it is necessary to avoid checking the accounts of those group enterprises when the time comes. As for companies like Media Group, Changjiang Industry Group, and Global Group, Lin Zhichao is no longer listed, and naturally he doesn't want outsiders to know about the situation inside.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao plans to let the 'Lin Zhichao Foundation' invest in some potential companies in Hong Kong.

Next.

After Lin Zhichao and the others had breakfast, they got on the bus and rushed to the rural primary school, and after a three-hour long journey, they finally came to a rural primary school.

"Mr. Lin, this place is called Wan'an Primary School, which is a primary and secondary education school." County officials introduced.

Probably, they didn't know the school so much that they kept communicating with the local teachers.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Which one is the principal?" ”

He didn't have the heart to beat around the bush and communicate directly with the teachers at this school.

Soon, a fifty-year-old man squeezed out of the crowd, looking much older than Lin Zhichao.

The little old man said simply: "Mr. Lin, I am Ma Wanchun, the principal here, thank you for coming thousands of miles to our poor and remote place, and you have worked hard all the way!" ”

Principal Ma was very nervous, Lin Zhichao held his hand and said, "Principal Ma, please introduce me to the most real situation of your school one by one!" ”

Chief Mu Zi also said: "Principal Ma, Mr. Lin has come here thousands of miles away to hope that you will be clear about your difficulties, please be sure to let Mr. Lin truly feel the barrenness of rural education in our southwest region." ”

Seeing so many officials, Principal Ma still said nervously: "Okay, everyone, please!" ”

After a while, I took a look around the school.

Lin Zhichao's mood was very heavy, although he already had the worst thoughts in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be insufficient. In his previous life, he was also born in eight or nine years, so when he went to school, the conditions may have been better, after all, 'reforming' really improved everything in the country.

The only three-storey brick building is used as a teaching building; The dormitories of teachers and students are mud houses, and the students are dressed in tatters, patches patched one after another.

Since it is a mountainous area, five-year students from each village have to come to this 'central elementary school' to study until they have completed junior high school. As for high school, few people can read it, and even if you go to high school, you have to go to the county three hours away by car.

The lunch that the students eat is steamed rice, and the next dish is pickles, and many students have to eat it for five days. There may be parents who will fry fresh vegetables or meat dishes for their children who are studying in the township when they are rushing to the scene. Therefore, children's nutrition basically depends on rice, after all, what nutrition can pickles have.

The school only cares about steaming rice, not vegetables, which has caused these children to grow up in the future.

After the inspection, everyone accompanied Lin Zhichao to the playground, and the students had already gone to lunch, but Lin Zhichao was not in the mood to eat, so he simply asked the big guy to accompany him on the playground.

"Taking such a primary school as an example, if you add a teaching building, a teacher dormitory building, and a student dormitory building, how much will it cost?" Lin Zhichao asked.

Chief Muzi said: "You have to ask the local people about this, and see the cost of the construction in front!" ”

Subsequently, everyone hurriedly asked the people in the township, but fortunately, Principal Ma was an old principal who was familiar with the cost of a teaching building in front of him, as well as the cost of construction.

He said: "It is estimated that 250,000 RMB will be needed to build three five-story buildings. We are in a mountainous area, and a lot of building materials need to be pulled back from the county, so the cost is higher. ”

Subsequently, Chief Mu Zi also added: "The situation mentioned by President Ma is similar, some townships with better conditions, such as those with convenient transportation, 200,000 RMB can meet the infrastructure construction, after all, the township will also take care of some." ”

Lin Zhichao then said: "Chief Muzi, if such a 'central primary school (including junior high school)' is based on the standard of 250,000 RMB, I will contribute 200,000 RMB, and the remaining 50,000 RMB will be provided by education funds, what do you think?" ”

Chief Mu Zi immediately said: "That is really a blessing for one party, and our Ministry of Education will also fully support it." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "What if I want to donate 2,500 such schools?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and someone started to count, but they were startled.

Chief Muzi couldn't believe it and said, "Mr. Lin, are you talking about 2,500 central primary schools?" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "This is just my first batch of ideas, if I can achieve good results, I am willing to continue to work hard in this area." ”

Chief Mu Zi sighed: "Mr. Lin is really a saint, I promise you, no matter how difficult the country is, I will ensure that the 2500 central primary school will be successfully renovated." ”

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao took out the exchanged cash from his bag, counted 250,000 RMB, and handed it to Principal Ma.

"Principal Ma, this is 250,000 RMB, I hope you build it like this. Once the school is built, I hope I can come back and see how it has changed. I don't know, can you take this task? ”

Principal Ma was at a loss, after all, how to receive so much money and how much responsibility to bear!

Fortunately, the officials on the scene all knew to please Lin Zhichao, and quickly calmed down Principal Ma's overwhelm, and this matter was next.

A few days later.

Lin Zhichao returned to Beijing and held a press conference with the Ministry of Education.

In the past few days, Lin Zhichao's donation to build 2,500 central primary schools has quickly received strong support from the state. He contributed eighty percent and the state contributed two percent. And under the advice of relevant departments, the central primary schools and teaching buildings of these revenues are all named 'Lin Zhichao Teaching Building'.

At the press conference, the news was very exciting, after all, this is a donation of 500 million RMB, which is the largest single donation ever received by Huaxia.

When I was interviewed, I could fully feel the fanatical admiration of mainland journalists.

So much so that some reporters even took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Lin, you have been wearing this suit for many years, right?" ”

Obviously, this is the initiative to establish Lin Zhichao's saint style.

Lin Zhichao said honestly: "This suit has indeed been with me for several years, and the quality is very good!" ”

It is difficult for his luxurious life in Hong Kong to be transmitted to the mainland media, because the mainland media and officials need to establish Lin Zhichao's high character. This is not what Lin Zhichao asked, but everyone is willing to praise him like this.

In the future, many publishing houses or related organizations in the mainland will need Lin Zhichao's 'Gao Feng Liang Festival' as their material, so as to publish a variety of 'Lin Zhichao books and periodicals' and get more sales.

The reporter said: "You are so rich, why are you still so frugal? ”

Lin Zhichao cooperated: "It's not thrifty, after all, the clothes are not broken, and they fit so well, there is no need to change him." When I buy something, I think mainly about whether it is suitable for me and not about other factors. ”

This interview soon turned into a variety of beautiful talks and was disseminated by the mainland media. (End of chapter)
