There is a gold house in the book, and knowledge can really be exchanged for wealth.
In another time and space, cash rewards for top scorers in the college entrance examination were frequently reported. After 2010, three to five million was common, and some people even received commercial housing sponsored by local real estate companies.
The one who received the most cash rewards, reported and confirmed by the media, was Hu Jian, the top scholar in liberal arts in 2018, and Huang Yichen, who received a total of up to 1 million in cash rewards. They were awarded 300,000 by his alma mater, 300,000 by the local government, and 300,000 by Hengan.
The group awarded 300,000 yuan, and the remaining 100,000 yuan was given by the local chamber of commerce.
Although one million in 2018 is not enough to buy a two-bedroom commercial house in first-tier cities, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for ordinary rural families.
In 2005, Lu Yan didn't dare to ask for three to five million yuan, but when he thought about it, he would be satisfied with fifty eighty thousand yuan.
I'm afraid that the leaders here are too conservative and just follow the old rules and pay him 10,000 yuan according to the standards of 1997. That's a huge loss!
The reason why I am raising the bonus with Guo Xianglin now is to give the principal a heads up, inquire about it, and implement it.
If the leader in charge of this matter in the county is a big fan of success and thinks that there is no one who can pass the exam anyway, he will brag about his awesomeness first. In other words, as long as someone can win the top prize in science in the province, the county will reward him with 200,000 yuan.
When I really got into the exam, I couldn’t bear to give it up. Even if I discounted it in half, it would be one hundred thousand! If I gave it 40% off, it would be eighty thousand! I can’t give it any more discounts!
On Lu Yan's side, he received a reply from Guo Xianglin, saying that Principal Su would go to the county to inquire. After a few polite words, he hung up the phone.
Lu Zhenshan kept his ears pricked up and said hurriedly: "No, son, what kind of bonus were you talking about on the phone just now? How much is it?"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "That's right. In fact, many places will give cash rewards to students who are admitted to Beijing University, Yangtze University, and Huaqing University, as well as students who are the top scorer in prefecture-level cities. For example, our county won the top prize in Sanjiang Science in 1997.
Just gave me a bonus of 10,000 yuan!”
Zhang Xiulan clicked her tongue and said: "Ten thousand, how old is this? Our house only cost thirty thousand!"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "It was quite a lot eight years ago, but now it's nothing!"
Lu Zhenshan sighed: "Yes, the money is getting richer and richer. In 1998, my family only spent a little over 30,000 yuan to build a house. Now if we want to build a house as big as ours, it will cost almost 50,000 yuan!"
Lu Yanxiao: "So I asked in advance to remind them whether a new reward standard will be introduced. It would not be appropriate to follow the previous one!"
Lu Zhenshan smiled: "Look at what you said, it seems like you can definitely win the top prize!"
Lu Yan said: "It's hard to say that I'm sure of getting the No. 1 Scholarship. I can only say that the chance is very high. However, among the three universities, Beijing University, Yangtze University of China, and Huaqing University, you can basically apply for any one of them. It doesn't matter if you ask in advance!"
Looking back on his past life, Lu Yan felt that his biggest problem was that he looked forward and backward in doing things and thought too much.
Tracing back to the origin, I think it should be from a poor family. He has been honest and obedient since he was a child, and he did not dare to cause trouble to his parents. He thought about the consequences in advance, and was always afraid that this would be bad or that would be bad.
What's wrong?
For example, this time, if the results of the college entrance examination were to be released and he asked the county for bonuses, it would definitely not be good to spread the word.
It's still half a year away. Who knows what kind of exams he will take then? If the county really raises the reward standards, and he really wins the first prize in science, he will make a lot of money.
There seem to be a lot of benefits, but the disadvantages are not obvious. In this case, why can't you ask?
Lu Yan had new rules for doing things, and his parents were a little surprised when they saw it.
Lu Zhenshan asked: "Son, if you really get a bonus, how do you plan to spend it?"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "If I really get the bonus, I plan to spend it on the tuition and living expenses for the four years of college. For the remaining... missing part, I plan to get the school's scholarship and work part-time in my spare time to earn more money."
Four years of college don’t cost my family a penny!”
Lu Zhenshan was stunned and said in his heart: "Damn it, you don't plan to leave any points for us?"
I wanted to say a few words, but then I thought again. If there is something missing, don't argue with him yet. He was the oldest in the family before the college entrance examination. I will deal with this kid after the exam is over.
Let’s talk about Fu’an No. 1 Middle School. Su Maocheng really cared about what Lu Yan mentioned. The main reason is that the teaching quality of Fu’an No. 1 Middle School has declined in recent years, there are no results, and there is more or less pressure.
Furthermore, even if there is a reward, the county will get the money and he won’t have to spend a penny, so why not do it!
Therefore, after two trips to the Su Maocheng Education Bureau and the deputy county director in charge of culture, education and health, the matter was finally implemented.
Candidates from Fu'an No. 1 Middle School will be rewarded with a cash reward of 100,000 if they get the top score in arts and sciences in the province in the future college entrance examination. Those who get the top score in science in Sanjiang area will get a cash reward of 50,000. Those who can get into Huaqing
, Beijing University and Yangta University, the county will award 20,000 yuan, and the school can award 10,000 yuan. Among them, the county award can only be received once.
The news was delivered by Guo Xianglin on the phone just before the Chinese New Year. The main idea is: Principal Su has been running to the county for this matter. You must take the exam well when the time comes. Otherwise, if the reward policy is implemented and your grades are not up to standard,
But that’s funny!
Lu Yan quickly said thank you and said he would work harder.
After saying this, Lao Guo felt a little uneasy and told Lu Yan to pay more attention to rest when it was time to rest. If he accidentally overexerted his brain and died suddenly before the exam, he would be in a big loss.
After the reward matter came to an end, Lu Yan resumed his life of studying hard every day and exercising regularly.
I still get up at five o'clock in the morning, because it's too cold outside, so instead of going out to exercise, I memorize English vocabulary in the house. Then during the day, I review Chinese, mathematics, and science subjects.
The time for washing, resting, and eating is only two hours in the whole day. It lasts until twelve o'clock at night, and then gets up at five o'clock the next day.
Because of his improved physique or mental strength, he now sleeps five hours a day, which is enough to ensure that he is energetic throughout the day. Unlike in another time and space, once he sleeps less than seven hours, he will be sleepy during the day.
Besides, Lu Zhenshan and Zhang Xiulan were quite surprised to see Lu Yan studying the Fa every day. They both said that studying was actually quite tiring, so they could only cook more delicious food and look forward to the college entrance examination coming soon.
Lu Yan was actually looking forward to it. He was a person who found it difficult to let go of an obsession once he had it in his heart. Since he was so focused on getting good grades in the exam, he couldn't let go when beautiful women were around him.
As for other New Year celebrations, eating and drinking, gatherings with relatives and classmates, forget about them all.
He doesn't hear what's going on outside the window, and he only focuses on reading exam-oriented books!
In late February, Fu'an No. 1 Middle School started school. Lu Yan moved back from his rental house and moved into a single dormitory arranged by the school. He still studied hard from morning to night every day and continued to exercise.
With his super memory, he memorized all the content in high school exam-oriented textbooks and memorized two more English dictionaries.
Mathematics and science required a lot of questions. He learned well and fast. In the end, all the papers available at Xinhua Bookstore in the county town were finished. Guo Xianglin could only ask his classmates to help him buy papers in the provincial capital and send them back.
Su Maocheng also asked people to go around and get papers for Lu Yan, Mu Yunrong, Xu Kunpeng and other students with outstanding achievements.
By now, Lu Yan has become a living "legend", just waiting for a chance to "make a big splash"!
