429 The Mountain is High and the Emperor is Far(1/2)
Before she saw the schools offering student aid, Yingzi was very excited when she listened to her elder brother talk about those schools and the potential talents he had found in the car.
In addition to feeling that my eldest brother is the world's number one philanthropist, I also admire my eldest brother's long-term vision.
"Brother, you are so amazing!" Yingzi admired her eldest brother even more. "You can not only change the fate of those poor children, but you can also recruit talents from all over the world!"
"What's this!" the eldest brother said humbly:
"Human society is full of injustice.
The most unfair thing is the injustice of the place where you were born. You can't change it, you can only adapt.
Remoteness and poverty will always exist, and the country does not have the ability to turn the whole country into a country of great harmony at once.
What I do is just do something to the best of my ability to solve the country's problems.
I’m just trying my best to check and fill in the gaps.”
"You are born without having anything, you do things without relying on them, you succeed without living there. If you live without living, you will not go away!" Yingzi said with emotion:
"Brother, you are so low-key, how would your sister describe you?
Our family is obviously very wealthy, but look at you.
Food, clothing, and supplies, how do you look like a rich person?
Walking on the street, it is obvious that he is a farmer who has come to work in the city!
Solving problems for the country and alleviating the sufferings of the people are not only unknown, but they are also afraid that others will know about them.
This is doing good deeds without leaving a name!
You said that your main entrepreneurial direction in the future is the research and development of semiconductor materials.
These talents are to prepare you for your future career.
But I feel that one person’s financial resources and abilities are limited after all.
Do you want me to talk to my uncle and ask him to make suggestions?
Let the country increase investment in semiconductor research and development, or set up an official organization to bring you in as a partner?"
"You don't need to go through the back door to make this suggestion." The elder brother smiled and said:
“In such a big country, do you think that policymakers can’t see the importance of semiconductor research and development?
There are many institutions in this field in our country now.
It’s just that there is not enough investment and there is a relative lack of talent.
There is nothing we can do about this.
The country has a weak foundation and needs investment and development in all aspects.
The so-called hand is too big to cover the sky.
Under the current situation of poverty and nothing, we can only invest limited financial resources and manpower into the most urgent and needed areas.
Do you think that foreign technological advancements are all funded and developed by the state?
No, people have a strong foundation, and the reason why they are so strong is that they have many big and wealthy chaebols.
These large chaebols are powerful and can generate enough funds to support research and development for ten, twenty years, or even longer.
Of course, once successful, the rewards for the big chaebols will be generous enough.
A virtuous cycle has been formed.
Our country is too short of industrialists whose strength is comparable to that of foreign conglomerates.
Even though there are a few people with deep pockets, they lack long-term vision and only want to make quick money in the immediate future.
Besides, there is also the issue of patriotism and thinking too much about personal interests."
"I think you are unique in the country, brother." Yingzi said seriously:
"You are wealthy, have a unique vision, have a long-term perspective, and are even more patriotic!"
"You've done a great job of beautifying Big Brother. We're just little people."
"No!" Yingzi insisted stubbornly, "My words are not beautifying at all, and they are not enough for you!"
"Who is more beautiful, me or Mr. Xu from the north of the city?" the eldest brother said with a smile, "because I am your eldest brother, so I am private!"
"..." Yingzi stopped talking.
My heart felt like I had knocked over a honey pot.
Because the eldest brother's sentence "I am private", the previous sentence in the original text is, "My wife is the one who beautifies me".
It means that the reason why his wife thinks he is the most handsome is because she prefers him.
What eldest brother means is beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
How could Yingzi not be happy!
However, when I actually went to the school where students were assisted, I saw the living conditions of the children and the extreme poverty in those places.
Yingzi couldn't be happy anymore.
Instead, I have to shed tears wherever I go.
Children in poor areas have a very hard life!
Never praise brother again.
In turn, I have been complaining about my eldest brother, who has invested too little, too little, too little.
Our family has so much money, why not use it to make those poor areas rich?
Why not let the parents of poor children also live a good life?
But as she watched more, her emotions were not as excited as they were at the beginning.
I found that I was a bit "why not eat minced meat".
Although the eldest brother is very rich, after all, he only has the financial resources of one person.
How could he help all the children in poor areas by himself?
On this day, the brother and sister arrived at a remote and impoverished village called Huoluzhai.
Because this village is located deep in the mountains, transportation is inconvenient, things cannot be bought from outside, and the agricultural products produced cannot be sold. It has been one of the poorest villages in the area for many years.
In the past, there was no school in this village.
This is not only because the village is too poor to build a school, but also because even if the township builds a school for the village, it cannot find teachers willing to teach in the village.
The vast majority of children in the village do not go to school.
Only a few families who are relatively better off, or those who have relatives in the village who can stay with relatives, can go to school in the village.
Of course, there are very few children like that.
Five years ago, it was Boss Liang who invested and built a school in the village.
There are elementary and junior high school classes.
And we sent three teachers at our own expense.
A slightly younger male teacher named Pei Jie, born in 1968, was a Rooster and failed the junior high school graduation exam.
The other two were those who failed the normal college entrance examination. The male is Xie Shouhua and the female is An Juanjuan.
Both of them were born in 1965. They were originally lovers and are now married.
Xie Shouhua is the principal of the school.
The three teachers live in the mountains all year round, and the conditions are relatively difficult.
But the energy is quite high.
I also have the motivation to persevere.
Because Boss Liang’s salary is high and his benefits are good.
Because I work for Boss Liang, the length of service is stipulated in the labor contract.
If you can keep working, you will have the same retirement benefits as the country.
If you stop working in the middle, there will still be a seniority subsidy. The longer the seniority, the higher the subsidy base will be.
Therefore, these teachers that Boss Liang sent out are very motivated.
Because this is a noble profession, and it also makes them feel that being a teacher is much better than working in construction, coal mines, etc. after they fail.
This is especially true for couples like Xie Shouhua and An Juanjuan, who are both teaching assistants. The teachers have taken root in poor areas and can work with greater peace of mind.
Of course Pei Jie, a single man, envies Principal Xie's situation. In the past two years, he has been thinking about whether to marry a village girl from his village as his wife?
On the way here, the eldest brother introduced Huoluzhai Village to his sister.
It is the key school for his inspection this time.
Because this school has discovered several students with great potential.
