Chapter 548 You have the final say
Although Zhao Liguo was a little impatient, this was a good thing. At the very least, he was willing to extend his hand and let them give him a hand.
It was still early after dinner here. Song Yi drove Lin Meihui to the county seat. When he walked into the government office and was about to go to the county magistrate's office, he heard two people arguing in the corridor, "I'm not going to school for the children in the village." Are you worried about the problem?"
"You can't come to the county magistrate if you are anxious. The county magistrate is very busy. You go to the Education Bureau to talk to the director first. Once the funds are available, they will be paid to you. You go back first and stop making trouble, okay, Principal Hao? "
"Director Gao, it's not me who wants to make trouble. The Education Bureau complains about lack of funds every year. I have no choice but to come here to find the county magistrate. You can at least let us meet and talk about the current situation of the school. Let the county magistrate also Learn about."
After saying that, Principal Hao suddenly saw some payment application document in Director Gao's hand. He grabbed it, looked at it a few times, and then said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Director Gao, you're not right, you stopped me." If I don’t let you in, your Urban Development Bureau is going to... rush to apply for funds? Your Urban Development Bureau is just building roads, but it’s not important for our children to go to school?"
"Look how you can talk like that. When did I say that it's not important for children to go to school? It's just that this road is in dilapidated condition. The last time the mayor came to inspect, he said that his heart was broken. You said no more?" How can we attract investment and retain the population?"
Director Gao also spoke earnestly and sincerely. The two of them refused to give in to the other, and the quarrel became even more intense.
The two couldn't argue, but Song Yi and Lin Meihui both understood. Principal Hao came here to apply for funding for school funds, and Director Gao came here to apply for funding for road construction. It seemed that they came at the right time, and Song Yi was about to push away. At the county magistrate's door, the director who stopped Principal Hao just now stopped Song Yi again.
He looked up and down, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, "Who are you? You just entered the county magistrate's office when you were told to enter? Didn't you see us still queuing up here?"
Song Yi was not in a hurry, but there was no point in the two of them lining up. "Then if I say that I can solve your problem, then do I go first or do you go first?"
Principal Hao was a little angry when he was stopped by Director Gao. Hearing that the problem could be solved, he naturally offered Song Yi like a god of wealth. He smiled and said, "Of course you go first...our school now has old tables, chairs and benches, and the dormitory is It’s not enough... The children in the village cannot live in the school and their studies are affected. You must tell the county magistrate and let him solve it."
Looking at Song Yi's temperament, Principal Hao and Director Gao thought he was someone from above, and their attitude was immediately respectful. Song Yi was not a bluff, and besides, he just wanted to do something practical for his hometown. He introduced himself, "My name is Song Yi , is from Gao’s hometown, and is now doing business in Beijing. This time I came back because I want to invest in our hometown, so please come in together and let’s discuss how to invest.”
Upon hearing about investment, Principal Hao and Director Gao's eyes lit up. What they need most now is investment.
When it comes to construction, education, medical care, and infrastructure, we cannot delay any of them. However, the county’s funds are so small that no matter how much money is allocated, it will be a drop in the bucket. What’s more, there are so many places that need money, so every time The county magistrate could only persuade them to go back. They were already used to it, so that was why they had just quarreled.
Entering the office, the county magistrate was also reading documents. When he saw Principal Hao and Director Gao, the county magistrate also looked helpless. "Come, sit down. Let's sit down and talk slowly. Although the county has no funds now, the difficulties are still there." You can mention it, I will report these difficulties first..."
At this time, Director Gao introduced the county magistrate, "County Magistrate Liu, this is our young entrepreneur Song Yi, and this is Song Yi's wife. Both of them are doing business in Beijing. They came back this time to invest in our county." Come, we have already had a preliminary discussion with them about the difficulties faced by the county now, I am not bringing this here for you, let’s talk about it together..."
This is really a rain after a long drought. County Magistrate Liu immediately smiled when he heard that it was an investment. He walked around the table and shook hands with Song Yi and Lin Meihui eagerly, "Oh, we now hope that all major entrepreneurs can be like Mr. Song and Mrs. Song." In this way, you are thinking about the development of your hometown and come back to invest... If there are more young talents like you in the world, why worry about the poor development of your hometown..."
Perhaps it had been too long since I had heard good news. Perhaps the county magistrate was troubled by these things and felt helpless. Now when I heard that someone was investing, regardless of the amount, it was heart-warming. Finally, I found a source of water to quench my thirst.
Then, County Magistrate Liu focused on the problems facing the county now, "Education is a major issue. The county has funds and has always focused on educational institutions first. However, the education department is a large category, including all private teachers and the tuition fees of public teachers. There are also problems with school construction, book procurement and allocation... Generally speaking, this is what worries me the most. No matter how hard it is, the children cannot suffer, and no matter how poor we are, we cannot afford education..."
After a few words, Principal Hao on the side also had red eyes.
Director Gao patted Principal Hao on the shoulder to comfort each other. County Magistrate Liu sighed a few times. It seemed that he had been worrying about this matter for a long time. Then he got to the point again, "Then there are our urban construction issues and the children's access to school. It is impassable, and the roads that are open are rotten, and if they are rotten and not repaired in time, they will be even worse... Now it is basically like a dirt road. It is fine on a sunny day, but when it is cloudy, rainy and snowy, it is really difficult to learn from the West."
These words reminded Lin Meihui of those days. Every time when Lin Xiaoshu went to school, he would encounter a river and flow in the mud. His ancestors had lived like this for generations, and it seemed that he was used to it. But when he saw the traffic in the big city, he naturally knew that this place was backward. the real reason.
"This road is impassable. The food and agricultural and sideline products in the village cannot be sold. Likewise, people who want to do business here can't get in. This is becoming more and more of a big problem. Although there are funds from the higher authorities, it is often repaired. This road and that road are broken... it's difficult."
After County Magistrate Liu finished speaking, he looked at Song Yi and Lin Meihui with some expectation, "I don't know how much you two can invest or where you plan to invest... We can't expect to build our hometown well all at once, but at least we have hope... …”
The financial situation of Song Yi and Lin Meihui has not been ideal in recent years. The reason is that Song Yi expanded the scale of Chenge Hotel too quickly and too much. The funds in the company's accounts were basically used to pay for these expenses, and there was no surplus.
