"Don't you want to spend some money to buy some new tables and chairs so that everyone can sit comfortably?"
He pulled Principal Shi to the window and pointed to the playground outside: "Look, this playground is still full of potholes. We can't even get some cinders to fill it up."
"Look again, how old the wires in this classroom are. If there is a slight wind or rain, there will be a power outage. Have you never thought about changing the circuit for everyone so that everyone can have a bright reading environment?"
Principal Shi covered his face: "Erlong, stop talking."
"No, I have to say it." Xu Erlong said loudly: "Don't you really want everyone to live a better life? Don't you want to make the teaching environment of this school better?"
Principal Shi made a sad face.
Doesn't he want to?
He thought very much.
He also wanted to fill the playground with coal slag, he also wanted to have some new desks and chairs in the classroom, and he also wanted everyone to sit in a classroom with bright and clean windows and study seriously.
But to improve these things, money is needed and funding from the higher authorities is needed.
But now, it is a time when everything is waiting for improvement. There are many places that need to be built and there are many places where money needs to be spent. Otherwise, there would not be so many treasury bills issued for the people to support.
Therefore, a top-notch rural middle school like theirs really doesn’t get funding from the higher authorities, so they have to make ends meet on their own.
Principal Shi had a battle between heaven and man, and finally asked Xu Erlong tremblingly: "Then according to what you said, if you compile these into a book, you will be rich?"
"This also depends on the plan." Xu Erlong said solemnly.
If you can tell Principal Tongshi, the matter is half done.
He and Principal Shi sat down at the desk again. He took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Principal Shi and asked Principal Shi to drink water.
And he also poured a glass of water himself and drank it in one go.
He had spent so much time talking just now, but his mouth was really dry.
After drinking water and soothing his somewhat hoarse throat, he sat down next to Principal Shi and slowly explained to Principal Shi how to operate in the process.
"Principal Shi, my initial plan now is to compile these into a book and sell them. Think about it, now our school has admitted eighteen college students, and it is very popular. All these schools in the county should know about it, and they will definitely come.
Learn from the scriptures.”
Principal Shi nodded: "Well, several principals from other schools have said they want to come and study with us."
But he didn't say this before because he was afraid that everyone would be proud - even though he was prouder than everyone else.
"Yes, the principals want to come and study, and those students must also want to study. There will always be a market for these books when it is popular right now." Xu Erlong analyzed with Principal Shi: "You want to
I think the experience taught by college students in person will be of interest to students who are preparing to take the college entrance examination."
Principal Shi nodded repeatedly. Don't schools usually organize teachers to give lectures, and teachers from other schools also come to listen to the lectures? Isn't it just for mutual learning?
They only think about communication and learning between teachers, but forget that classmates also need to learn.
"When the time comes, our booklet will not only contain the experiences of college students, but also the experience summaries of teachers. If you buy it, you will learn from the experience and practice the questions. This is great value for money, and no one will object.
.”
"At that time, we will set the price at one yuan per book. One person will earn one yuan, ten people will earn ten yuan, and one hundred people will earn a hundred yuan. Think about it, there are 1.4 billion people in the country, don't we have 1.4 billion?
"Xu Erlong said with a smile.
"So many?" Principal Shi was so frightened that his heart was beating fast.
He is old and can't stand the scare. This is measured in hundreds of millions. Isn't this an astronomical figure?
Immediately, he glared at Xu Erlong: "What are you talking about? There are 1.4 billion people in the country? You said you are not serious about studying. You are so not serious. You can't even figure out basic questions like how many people there are in our country, and you are still messing around here.
explain?"
Xu Erlong knew that he was lying.
Of course there is not such a large population in the country now.
But there is not a population of 1.4 billion now, but there will be a population of 1.4 billion in the future.
He just said it smoothly.
"I made a mistake." Xu Erlong admitted his mistake smoothly and would not argue with Principal Shi about winning or losing on these matters: "I didn't pay attention in class or read the book seriously, so I made a mistake. However, we can think of it this way.
There are always one or two million people in the country who want to take the college entrance examination, right? Just think of it as only half, no, even if only one-third of the people buy this booklet, we will still make money."
Principal Shi smiled again. He looked at Xu Erlong and felt that this kid had good ideas, but he was too naive.
They are a top-notch township middle school. Although they did better in the exam this time, other schools in the county will come to learn from it, but people from all over the country who want to take the college entrance exams will come to buy their books. Isn't this fantastic?
Xu Erlong knew that if he told Principal Shi this now, he wouldn't believe it.
It’s not that there is no basic trust, but these days, no one has ever thought about the broader place outside.
He still planned to use practical actions to achieve results and let Principal Shi see them.
If you can't do it, just think that you are bragging now.
But he felt that this matter could still be accomplished.
Think about Crazy English, and then think about "Harvard Girl So-and-So", which is popular all over the country. Which family that hopes that their sons will succeed and their daughters will succeed does not have such a book?
"Principal Shi, I'd like to explain it to you first about profit distribution. After excluding various costs, I ask for half of the profits, and the remaining half of the profits belong to you and the school. You share part of the profits to these students.
And the teachers, it’s their royalties, I believe they will be very happy. In addition, you just look at the arrangements? If you want to change the desks, you can change the desks, and if you want to make a playground, you can make a playground. Even, you can even do it in the classroom
Hang up a fan so that everyone will not sit in the classroom sweating and suffering on this June day."
Principal Shi was very moved when he heard this.
It's really exciting.
He had never thought about installing fans in the classroom.
All he wanted was to avoid power outages a few times and burn incense.
He felt that he had lived so long in vain, and his horizons were not as high as those of a student.
He was moved by the beautiful blueprint described by the students.
He wants to be rich, buy new desks, build a cinder playground, and even install fans in all classrooms.
He looked at Xu Erlong and finally sighed: "Erlong, I feel that I have been taught badly by you. I actually gave up for five buckets of rice and no longer wanted to stay in poverty."
"No, Principal Shi, this is not a bad teaching. We are doing it for everyone's good." Xu Erlong was so excited that he wanted to reach out and hold Principal Shi's shoulders.
He hasn't been at this school long, but he can really feel that Principal Shi is a good principal who is dedicated to the public. He hopes that everyone can go further.
