(556) Visiting and studying with an open mind

With the end of the celebration banquet, the two sides also agreed on the date of the visit. Three days later, Daniel Zhang will lead the team to Shunjiang Martial Arts School to have a discussion with the students of the martial arts summer camp. This competition is not a formal competition, but just a young people getting to know each other and exchanging their experiences in martial arts.

There are many such exchanges in the martial arts, and there are such exchanges between many sects. It was the first time for Daniel Zhang to do this with others, and people treated him as the head of a faction, and he gave a lot of face. Daniel Zhang Shenghe was very curious, what is the exchange of modern martial arts sects?

Three days later, Daniel Zhang took several people to the Shunjiang Martial Arts School in Dongjiang District. The martial arts school is located at the junction of urban and rural areas in Dongjiang District, covering an area of not small. It used to be a factory, but after the bankruptcy, the premises and buildings were rented out. Zou Youzhi took out a loan to rent it and rebuilt it into the current martial arts school.

Different from ordinary schools, the martial arts school during the summer vacation is very lively. In addition to the usual students, the summer camp also recruits many short-term students. They are all teenagers to twenties, and they have some inexplicable admiration for martial arts, and some even started practicing martial arts since they were young and have more than ten years of experience.

When Daniel Zhang and the others arrived, it was the end of the morning exercise of the martial arts school, and the students were eating breakfast in the cafeteria. The martial arts school is closed management, and students live on campus from Monday to Friday, and can only go home on weekends. Summer camp students live on campus for more than a month, and summer homework is also completed here.

There are many summer camps of this type in Jiangyuan, and they are also very popular with parents of students. The main reason is that most parents usually have to go to work, and they don't have time to take care of their children, and they don't feel at ease at home. After arriving at the summer camp, there is a coach to manage it, and there are people urging you to do your summer homework, so you don't have to worry about it.

Zou Youzhi led a group of coaches from the school to greet him at the door, and Daniel Zhang and others also put up a welcome slogan, which was very grand. This situation made Daniel Zhang very surprised and felt a little embarrassed. Their door-to-door visits were also on a whim, and they never imagined that the other party would attach so much importance to them.

Everyone got out of the car with a smile and warmly shook hands with Zou Youzhi and others. In order to strengthen his face, Zou Youzhi also pulled Han Yongli over to accompany him. The Eagle Claw Gate's martial arts hall in Jiangyuan is being prepared, and Han Li has been in Jiangyuan for the past few months, so he just has time to participate in the event.

Taking advantage of the students' efforts to eat in the cafeteria, Zou Youzhi took the big guys to visit the school. The school is simple, with two buildings in front and back and two playgrounds. One of the buildings is a school building, which contains training rooms and offices. The other building is a dormitory and a canteen, and some students live on campus management.

The two playgrounds are on the left and the right of the teaching building, the big one is a green field with a 200-meter circular track, and the small one is a basketball court with a concrete floor. Other sports facilities such as parallel bars and table tennis tables are also set up in the aisles of the school, so students can change their disciplines and relax during lounge time.

The layout of the school is very simple and bright, without the strong bookish atmosphere of ordinary high schools, and more like a sports training center. The campus is full of elements of martial arts, and even the content of the paintings hanging in the corridor is about practicing martial arts, not scientists, writers, etc.

Finally, everyone walked to the cafeteria, and the students in the cafeteria were eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was so lively. It is when they are growing their bodies, and they practice martial arts every day with a lot of exercise, so they usually eat a lot of food. Zou Youzhi invited a retired cook from the army's cooking class, and the big pot rice was well cooked and very popular with the students.

Zou Youzhi asked the kitchen to prepare a table of breakfast, although they are all common steamed buns, steamed buns, etc., but they are also very rich. Daniel Zhang and the others had breakfast before departure, and at the invitation of Zou Youzhi, they were also gracious, and sat down and ate a little casually.

Everyone chatted while eating, and Zou Youzhi probably talked about the exchange arrangements for the next day. The exchange is divided into two parts, one is integrated into the school's training classes, and the difference between martial arts school teaching and ordinary schools is experienced. The other part is to have a discussion with the students, and you can also simply try your hand.

Taking advantage of the gap between breakfast, Daniel Zhang asked curiously: "Master Zou, you are such a big school, and you spend a lot of money every year, right?" Financially stressed, isn't it? ”

Zou Youzhi smiled and nodded: "It's not big, it's fake." In such a big school, nearly 1,000 students and hundreds of faculty and staff members are all pointing to this to eat. However, the official support is not small, and a lot of preferential policies and subsidies have been given, which has reduced a lot of pressure on us. ”

"You are privately owned, how can you still apply for official policies and subsidies? Aren't they all issued to public authorities? Daniel Zhang asked puzzled.

Zou Youzhi shook his head and said, "It's not like this, as long as you meet the conditions, you can do it." In the past two years, Jiangyuan has vigorously developed cultural and sports education, and we belong to the category of amateur sports schools, and there are also preferential policies. In addition to martial arts, there are also private amateur sports schools for other swimming, track and field, and ball sports. ”

Han Yongli smiled and subsidized: "Not only do they open martial arts schools, but we also open martial arts halls." There are also many classes for singing, dancing, musical instruments, etc. The amount of the subsidy varies depending on the number of students admitted. Master Zou's school is relatively large, and the number of students is large, so the subsidy is more than others. ”

Zou Youzhi nodded and said: "That's what it looks like, that is, with these policies, I dare to open a martial arts school here." Jiangyuan is a big city with a population of several million and a large number of students, but the cost is not small. Without the support of these policies, the risk of opening such a martial arts school is particularly large. ”

Han Yongli agreed: "Master Zou is right, our Eagle Claw Gate also has this idea. Everyone is our martial arts hall all over the country, in fact, most of the profits are very meager. Without subsidies and support from various cities, those martial arts halls would have no choice but to close their doors at a loss. ”

Daniel Zhang asked thoughtfully: "Brother Han, you have opened so many martial arts halls, do you know the situation in the county town?" Is there such a subsidy policy in the county? ”

Han Yongli nodded and said, "Our martial arts halls are not only in big cities, but also in small and medium-sized cities and counties. These policies are divided into two parts, one part is unified by the state and the province, and everyone has a share. Part of it is supported by the local government itself, and this depends on the local area. ”

Zou Youzhi added with a smile: "Yes, before I came to Jiangyuan, I was in a county town in the north. The subsidy in that county is relatively small, mainly because the economy is underdeveloped, and the financial situation is not sufficient. ”

Daniel Zhang sighed: "Don't hide it, our school is also engaged in education reform, and we want to rely on art and sports majors." At present, the Education Bureau is not very supportive, and it is all dependent on school loans and donations from students' parents. I thought of helping to find a way to relieve the financial pressure. ”
