Regardless of the theory, Guan Tianming's meaning is very clear. The town will not use the 20,000 yuan to repair the school building.
The issue now is repairing school buildings, not debating issues in nationally impoverished areas.
Yao Yuan said, "Mayor Guan, the school building must be repaired. We cannot allow children to attend classes in dilapidated buildings. Do you think this will work? I will personally take out a sum of money and lend it to the town."
"Okay, you can repair it if you have money. As long as you don't need the 20,000 yuan from the town, anything will do. Xiao Yao, you are new here and don't know the situation in Huilong Town. Our town has been a poor area since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
You have also seen that all the capable people have fled. Without national poverty alleviation funds, life in the town will be even more difficult." Guan Tianming said sincerely.
Yao Yuan didn't want to listen to his fallacy and said, "Mayor Guan, as long as the town agrees."
"I agree, of course I agree." Guan Tianming smiled.
"Okay, I'll contact the construction team today." Yao Yuan stood up and left.
Guan Tianming wanted to say something, but when he saw Yao Yuan leaving in a hurry, he gave up.
There is no signal in the town, and mobile phones are just for display here.
However, Yao Yuan did not want to find a construction team from the county. There must be masons and the like in this town.
He found Wang Yu and asked, "Director Wang, is there a construction team in town? Can you help me contact them?"
"There are many masons in Dalong Village, and there are many craftsmen in that village. They built many houses in the town." Wang Yu said, "Is Mayor Guan willing to pay for the repair of the school building?"
Yao Yuan shook his head, "I didn't agree. I'll pay for it myself. Anyway, we can't let the children go to class in a dilapidated building."
"Pay your own money...you..." Wang Yu was stunned. She had never seen such a cadre before. She slowly stood up and said, "Assistant Yao, that's a lot of money. You..."
Yao Yuan slowly shook his head, "I still have some savings."
Where did the new cadre who had just graduated have any savings? Wang Yu suddenly discovered that most of the time this cadre from the city had a wealthy family, which he kept hidden.
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, I'll contact you now."
"I'll go with you." Yao Yuan said.
He called Lin Xiaohu over and said, "Xiaohu, go and contact the building materials. Use the best materials. If you find them, ask them directly to the Central Primary School."
"Okay, I'll go now." Lin Xiaohu borrowed a bicycle and went out.
Yao Yuan drove Wang Yu to Dalong Village.
Dalong Village is an administrative village with a relatively good situation. Because of their craftsmanship, many young and middle-aged people in the village have gone to the city to work. Most of those who stay in the village are in their forties or fifties.
This village was the village that Wang Yu contacted. She found the village party secretary and village chief. After Yao Yuan explained the situation, he said, "Let's see if we can organize about twenty people. Let's do this. Party secretary, village chief, and those who build the school."
In charge of three meals a day, each person will be paid one hundred yuan a day."
"One hundred yuan?" Wang Yu exclaimed and said quickly, "Assistant Yao, that's too much. The salary alone will be tens of thousands of yuan. I'm afraid the town won't agree."
It’s not that I won’t agree, it’s that I definitely won’t agree.
The party secretary and village chief were even more stunned.
Yao Yuan also realized this problem and asked, "Director Wang, how much do you think we should set?"
"It's enough to provide them with food. Building the school is nothing else. There is no need for wages." The village chief said quickly.
We all have children studying in school, and everyone’s children will also study there in the future. Working for the school means working for your own children.
"Yes, yes, it's good to have three meals a day." said the village party secretary.
Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "One yard is one yard. Let's do it this way. Small workers get 50 yuan a day and large workers get 100 yuan. I will pay for it, regardless of whether the town recognizes it or not. The central primary school needs to be rebuilt, and now we can only
First, repair the school building to ensure that the children can attend classes normally."
Wang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Assistant Yao really could stand and talk without pain in his back.
"Party secretary, village chief, organize your work and try to get it in place today. The day to leave for school is getting closer. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy." Yao Yuan said.
The party secretary and the village chief agreed and trotted away.
One hundred yuan a day, at least fifty yuan, which is pie in the sky. The average annual household income in Huilong Town is less than 1,000 yuan, which shows how poor the town is.
No matter how slow it is to repair the school building, it will take four or five days. In this way, one person can get at least more than 200 yuan, which is enough to cover the expenses of a family for two to three months. The living expenses of rural families in this town are only a few yuan a day, all year round.
It is normal to not be able to eat two meals of meat.
For the first time, the party secretary and village chief felt like officials, because they now had the power in their hands to make people make a lot of money.
"Party secretary, there are twenty places, ten for each of us, right?" After leaving the village committee, the village chief whispered.
The village party secretary thought for a while and agreed, "That's okay, we'll share it equally."
The two parted ways, of course to give opportunities to those close to them.
Yao Yuan is well aware of this, but he cannot control it in such a specific way. As long as the person he finds can do the job well, everything else is not a problem.
With such a high salary, it was too easy to find people. In less than half an hour, the party secretary and the village chief each brought ten people to the village committee, all looking as if they were ready to start work at any time.
Yao Yuan didn't waste any time. He explained the situation to everyone and drove them to the central primary school in several trips.
Not long after, two trucks pulling construction materials rumbled into Huilong Town and into the Central Primary School. Such movement attracted the attention of the people in the town, who went to the Central Primary School to watch the excitement.
There was also a lot of discussion in the town government.
Zheng Hongyu, the deputy mayor in charge of education, walked out and quietly followed Guan Tianming who was heading to the central primary school. He whispered, "Mayor, this Assistant Yao has a good background. He has to build a school within a few days of arriving. I heard that
With his own money?"
"Yes, I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect he was serious. Let's go and have a look." Guan Tianming walked to the Central Primary School with his hands behind his back.
Zheng Hongyu felt uncomfortable in her heart. He was in charge of education, but Yao Yuan started repairing the school without saying a word and didn't even say hello. This was a typical example of unorganized and undisciplined.
The Central Primary School, which had been deserted throughout the winter vacation, became lively and everyone was working enthusiastically. This scene made Zheng Hongyu feel complicated. For many years, there had not been such a big move in the construction of educational facilities.
"I asked, and the car he drove was worth three hundred thousand." Guan Tianming said for no reason.
Zheng Hongyu was shocked, "Three hundred thousand? That car doesn't look like a good car, it's square."
Guan Tianming whispered, "The best off-road vehicle in the country, the technology of Little Japan. So, this assistant Yao has a deep background, not only has good connections, but is also very rich. If he is willing to pay to build the school, let him do it."
Go ahead."
"But, in the end, this debt still has to be settled by the town." Zheng Hongyu looked at it carefully, "If he does this, we will not have much money left for education this year."
Guan Tianming smiled and said, "The money is in our hands, and it is not up to us to decide how to use it. Don't worry, he won't be able to stay for a few days. Look, a famous and famous college student will stay in a poor place like ours?"
"That's true." Zheng Hongyu felt a little more relaxed.
Yao Yuan was directing the work. When he saw the two leaders, he came over and said, "Mayor Guan and Deputy Mayor Zheng just want to report to the two leaders. I contacted a student fund and they will help us rebuild the central primary school and repair it."
They also pay for the school."
"Study fund?" Guan Tianming was stunned.
Zheng Hongyu asked, "Project Hope?"
Yao Yuan said, "Similarly, it was established with a donation from a Hong Kong businessman. The purpose is to build schools in poor areas in the mainland. Our Huilong Town is a national-level poverty-stricken area and meets the conditions. They will have an inspection team come over in two days.
After the inspection, they will initiate an internal project, and once the funds are in place, they can build a new primary school. Oh, it's called the Spring Breeze Fund."
The two leaders were a little confused and did not expect Yao Yuan to make such a big move.
"No, this Spring Breeze Fund...how did you get in touch with it?" Guan Tianming asked.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I have a classmate who works at the Spring Breeze Fund. I just contacted him and after explaining the situation, he believed that our place is fully qualified and has already verbally agreed."
"So, you don't have to bear the money to build the school." Zheng Hongyu said.
Yao Yuandao said, "Yes, I don't need to pay personally."
"This is a good thing. This Spring Breeze Fund is very rich?" Zheng Hongyu asked.
They have never heard of such a thing growing up. Everyone knows about Project Hope. However, the current focus of Project Hope is in the mountainous areas of inland provinces. Although Huilong Town is a national-level poverty-stricken area, it belongs to Guangdong Province.
The province is a pioneer region in reform and opening up.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "The funds should be sufficient. Many companies donate to the Hope Fund regularly, so it should be very rich."
He did not lie. He indeed did not know the situation of the Spring Breeze Fund. This student fund is managed by Xiao Jiabing. Currently, many Hong Kong tycoons have become donors to the Spring Breeze Fund, and the funds are very sufficient.
Zheng Hongyu's brain was a little exhausted, and the stagnant water of Huilong Town was stirred up.
Guan Tianming's mind became active, he thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yao, when will the Spring Breeze Fund inspection team come and when will their funds be in place?"
Yao Yuan said, "In two days, they have a branch in Guangdong City. As for the funds... the money does not go through our hands. I am not very clear about the specific process."
"It's not through our hands..." Guan Tianming was immediately disappointed, "Isn't it inappropriate to do this? They want to help us build a school, and the funds should be put into our account, which means donating to us, right?
We organize manpower construction and can also provide jobs for people in the town."
Yao Yuan knew Guan Tianming's thoughts very well. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the specific process. When they come, Mayor Guan, you can talk to them."
Funds will not go through the government's hands. This is a rule set by Yao Yuan. He also knows what Guan Tianming wants to do. He set this rule in the first place to ensure that every penny is used for student aid.
A car drove in, a BMW SUV that was exactly the same as Yao Yuan's car, but this car had a few more erected antennas. It was a communication vehicle modified by the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences. The trunk and the third row were removed and installed.
We have a set of satellite communication terminals that can communicate with the outside world through satellites.
"This is?" Guan Tianming pointed to the communication vehicle in surprise and said.
Yao Yuandao said, "There is no wireless signal in the town, there is only one phone line, and communication with the outside world is not smooth. This is a wireless communication vehicle sent by the Spring Breeze Fund, which can directly contact them."
Guan Tianming and Zheng Hongyu walked over curiously.
Yao Yuan did not greet them, but returned to the construction site to continue directing the construction. He did not understand construction, but he knew how to repair with the best quality.
With so much money and the need to build a school building, everyone's enthusiasm was very high, their attitudes were very serious, and they all showed their true skills.
Guan Tianming looked around the communication vehicle and when he saw the driver coming down, he asked cautiously, "Young man, can I call your Chunfeng Fund directly from the vehicle?"
"Yes, you can use it if you have a mobile phone. The communication vehicle has a signal relay function." The young driver said, "But if you want to use it, you must ask Assistant Yao first. This vehicle is mainly to protect the communication between him and Chunfeng Fund.
of communication.”
Guan Tianming smiled and nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand. When will your inspection team arrive?"
"I'm not sure about this, I'm just driving," the young driver said.
He winked at Zheng Hongyu, and the two of them went back to the town government for a small meeting.
Yao Yuan didn't think so much and stayed at the central primary school all day to direct the work. Wang Yu was busy and contacted the only restaurant in the town to order food according to the standards set by Yao Yuan. If she was still hesitant before, then she
Now I have made up my mind to follow Yao Yuan's footsteps.
With just one phone call, he contacted a student aid foundation that was willing to build a new school for free. The county magistrate did not have such energy.
If he had not been aware of Yao Yuan's abilities, Wang Yu believed that his ten years as a cadre would have been in vain.
Therefore, she is very positive.
On the contrary, other cadres of the town government were watching. Everyone knew that this young Assistant Yao had caused dissatisfaction with the mayor and others. By doing this, where did he put the town government?
However, no one reminded Yao Yuan, they were all waiting for a good show.
In his previous life, Yao Yuan worked in a central enterprise for nearly 20 years. Of course he was aware of the rules and unspoken rules in the officialdom, but he didn't care about other people's opinions. As the saying goes, if you have no desires, you must be strong. He neither wants to be a high official nor does he need political achievements to achieve it.
Flaunt yourself.
Do practical things, do real things.
The entire town government can be calm about children having classes in dilapidated buildings, but Yao Yuan cannot. No matter how hard it is for the children, it cannot be just a simple slogan.
It is understandable that there are objective reasons. He is poor, but he would rather use the money for entertainment expenses than repair the school building. Yao Yuan cannot approve it in any case.
To put it bluntly, he did this to tell Guan Tianming and others that as party members and cadres, they must first put the people's affairs first, keep it in their hearts, and find ways to develop the economy, rather than putting the cart before the horse in order to retain the title of a national-level poverty-stricken town.
