Chapter 65: Poor
On Thursday, Lu Yuanting called Su Yan and said that the Postal Service University had made arrangements.
And asked Su Yan about some follow-up arrangements of Shenxiu Technology Fund.
"Our initial plan is to give priority to supporting high schools in national-level poverty-stricken counties, and then slowly expand the scope. After all, Dean Lu, you also know that although our country's economy has achieved tremendous development after reform and opening up, the poor
The local areas are still really poor. The coastal areas of our country have been in line with international standards, but the development of many places in the western and southwest regions is still stuck in the last century. Since it is said that wealth first drives wealth later, we must set an example.
.”
"There is not much we can do to help students from poor areas get out of the mountainous areas first."
When Lu Yuanting heard Su Yan's words, he nodded over the phone. It is indeed not easy for a company with its strength to help children in a county get out of the mountainous area.
Lu Yuanting said, "Okay, I understand. So let's go this weekend?"
"Well, I have already prepared the air tickets for Friday. After arriving at the local provincial capital airport, their local school has contacted the vehicle to pick us up at the airport. I have also communicated with several portals that they will send reporters to follow.
Go."
"By the way, I've contacted the TV station and they will send a reporter when the time comes."
Lu Yuanting said on the phone.
"Director Lu, who is from the CCTV?"
As soon as he heard that Lu Yuanting contacted the TV station, Su Yan immediately became interested. You must know that the Internet in China is not yet popular, and the public's sources of information are mainly newspapers and TV. Once Shenxiu Technology's charity event can be broadcast on CCTV,
Then countless people across the country will know about Shenxiu Technology.
"What are you thinking? Do you really think I have such a big reputation? It's not a reporter from CCTV, but a reporter from Yanjing TV. I delayed the talent to arrange this. Otherwise, who do you think would be willing to go to such a remote place?
Interview?”
Hearing that Su Yan actually opened his mouth to the central stage, Lu Yuanting was so breathless that he really thought that he, Lu Yuanting, was a god.
With the completion of preparations for Postgraduate University and Shenxiu Technology, Wang Guodong also got in touch with his alma mater.
Especially when they heard that Wang Guodong's company wanted to go to their school with China Post University to make donations, the school leaders immediately agreed with joy and told Wang Guodong that they would do their best to cooperate.
On Friday, after everyone gathered at the University of Posts and Telecommunications, the University arranged a school bus to take them to the airport. The group's itinerary was to depart on a flight at 10 a.m. and arrive at the provincial capital at 2:30 p.m., and then take the Wang Guodong
The vehicle arranged by their school traveled to the destination, a total distance of more than 300 kilometers, nearly five hours' drive, and it took almost evening to reach the county seat.
As soon as Su Yan got on the plane, he briefly chatted with reporters sent by several portal websites and then began to close his eyes and rest his mind.
After all, he used to travel a lot on business, but he knows how tiring a trip is. Many people would say that the whole business trip is either by plane or high-speed rail, not to mention that there is a business class seat. To be honest, it can be said that after a business trip, it is
exhausted.
Today's flights are rarely delayed. After the passengers boarded the plane, the plane took off on time. Half an hour later, Su Yan and the others had left the confines of Yanjing and reached an altitude of 10,000 meters.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport in the provincial capital on time, and the group saw people coming to receive them at the airport exit.
"Hello, everyone from Shenxiu Technology and China Post University. I am the person in charge of picking up the plane. My name is Chen Zhen."
Then the group got on the bus under the leadership of Chen Zhen and headed straight to the provincial capital.
"Hey, this seems to be heading to the city, right?"
The accompanying staff and reporters were all a little tired, and they all leaned on the seats to take a nap after getting on the bus.
In the car, Lu Yuanting looked at the increasingly prosperous buildings on both sides and couldn't help but said to Su Yan.
"Dean Lu, that's right. Let's go to the city first, and then go to the county after dinner. After all, there is still a long way to go. We won't get to the county until evening. If we don't eat something, there won't be anything on the way.
There’s a place to eat.”
Before Su Yan could speak, Chen Zhen on the side took the lead in explaining.
Before coming here, the principal specifically told him that he must entertain these guests from Yanjing. They are the hope for countless students in the school to get out of the mountainous area.
After a simple meal, the group continued towards their destination.
Wang Guodong's hometown is located in a small county called Honghe in southern Yunnan. This county has almost never been labeled as a national-level poverty-stricken county. In 2001, the total output value of this county was no more than the annual profits of some companies.
.
The entire county is surrounded by mountains, with almost 96% of the area being mountainous. The main industry is the primary industry. The population of the county is only 300,000, and the county seat has a population of less than 100,000.
There is not a single renovated building in the entire county, and the style of the entire county is like that of the last century.
At night, the entire county seemed to be plunged into darkness. The group, led by Chen Zhen, arrived at the only state-run guest house in HH County, where Honghe Middle School arranged a stay for them.
After entering the room, Su Yan had a closer understanding of the conditions here. There was a musty smell in the house. There were large damp spots on the roof due to abundant rainfall all year round. The faucet in the bathroom even had some moisture.
There are rust marks, and it doesn’t even need to be specially designed to make a movie. The bedding is relatively good, at least it looks new.
But what makes everyone happy is that as long as they stay here for one night, and after completing the donation and interview with the school tomorrow, everyone can return directly to the provincial capital. After staying in the provincial capital for one night, they can go straight to the airport and return.
Yanjing.
After settling everyone down, Su Yan returned directly to the room. This time, all men came out, without a girl. Firstly, the conditions were too difficult, and secondly, Su Yan really didn’t have too much confidence in the safety of remote areas in this era.
Big hope.
Early the next morning, everyone finished washing up early and gathered on the first floor of the guest house. As long as today's work is completed, they can leave here.
Wang Guodong also rushed over from home early in the morning, carrying many local snacks.
After a simple breakfast, the group walked towards Honghe Middle School.
Walking on the street, looking at the lush trees in the distance, surrounded by the morning mist, it looks like a fairyland on earth.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly.
Lu Yuanting said with emotion: "It is really a pure land on earth. There is no such good air in Yanjing. I can find a place to retire here when I get old."
"Indeed, it would be great if the air in Yanjing was so good."
Su Yan felt the fresh smell in the air, and suddenly felt that people were indeed quite hypocritical.
Just like Su Yan and Lu Yuanting, although the environment here is said to be good and there is no problem if you let them live here for a period of time, if you let them live here forever, they will not be willing to die.
There is no way, people are just hypocritical.
Along the way, Su Yan only knew one word about Honghe: poor!
Chapter completed!
