Linkwood's proposed rodeo could accommodate only 4,000 spectators. The reason the capacity was so low was because it was not necessary.
The western United States is vast and sparsely populated. If the arena has more spectator seats, the cost will increase a lot. The key is that there are not so many people. If the auditorium is too deserted, the lively atmosphere of competitive sports will be lost.
The specific location of the rodeo arena has not been decided yet. We will have to wait until the ranch acquisition is completed and make a choice based on the overall plan of the new ranch.
Mark is from the Netherlands. Although he doesn't understand the American cowboy plot, after listening to Sun Dahai's introduction, he felt that this project could be pursued.
Seeing his interest, Sun Dahai formally extended an invitation to him. He was asked to join Jiahua Investment Company, and his position was tentatively designated as project director.
Mark readily accepted Sun Dahai's invitation. At this point, Chen Feng was no longer the only commander-in-chief at the headquarters of Jiahua Investment Company.
However, judging from Mark's ambitious appearance, it is estimated that after returning from the mountain city, he will go to the two project locations to conduct on-site research.
At noon, Sun Dahai took Mark to the company and asked him to meet with Mr. Huang and other people from the China Office. Everyone had lunch together and had exchanges in the afternoon before sending him back to the hotel.
Mark will accompany Wei Mingming back to her hometown of Shancheng to meet her parents before returning to formally join the company. Calculating the time, he can almost meet Chen Feng in the capital.
Three days later, Sun Dahai and his party arrived at the Capital Railway Station and boarded the train to the island city.
There were eleven people in total participating in this trip to the island city. In addition to the three brothers and sisters Sun Dahai and Battelle, there were also Andrew, the Gao sisters, Zhang Yujie, Zheng Peipei, Wang Huan and Yang Xufei.
Yang Xufei joined the Capital Youth Football Team after the Spring Festival last year, and it has been a year and a half. This is the first time the team has a long holiday, which lasts three weeks. During the Chinese New Year, the team only gave them four days of holiday.
Yang Xufei, who has received professional training for more than a year, has grown dramatically. At the age of thirteen, he has grown to 1.75 meters. He used to be about the same height as Sun Dahai, but now he is five centimeters taller than Sun Dahai.
In his words, this year and a half was like being in a concentration camp. He practiced from morning to night every day and almost slept with a football in his arms.
However, his skills have improved very quickly as a result, and he is already the main striker in the team. Sun Dahai can't tell whether his skills have improved, but the muscles on his body show that he has become obviously stronger.
.
On the first day of the team's vacation, he came to see Sun Dahai. He happened to hear that they were going to the island city to play, so he temporarily applied to join and became a member of the travel team.
Wang Huan's situation was the opposite. She was dragged in by Zhang Yujie. Sun Dahai and the others had Zhang Jing help them buy their train tickets. They were all soft sleeper tickets, so they had to be purchased in the name of the company.
After Zhang Jing got the ticket, she handed it to Zhang Yujie and asked her to deliver it to Sun Dahai. At this time, Zhang Yujie discovered that girls were in an odd number and it was inconvenient to stay. So she ran to Wang Huan's house and forced her in.
.
Wang Huan, like several of Sun Dahai's friends, were recruited into the newly established Yingcai Middle School, and everyone continued to be classmates.
Being able to study at Yingcai Middle School is a very good thing for Wang Huan, whose family's economic conditions are average.
Yingcai's three schools all adopt the policy of halving food fees and freeing other fees. Moreover, the schools also have various scholarship systems and work-study systems. In Wang Huan's case, not only does he not have to spend money every month, but he can also earn
Pay some living expenses.
Of course, it was Sun Dahai who helped the friends successfully enter Yingcai Middle School. However, it was no trouble for Yingcai Middle School.
After passing the school interview before the exam, as long as their test scores from primary school to junior high school are not too bad, the only thing left is for the admissions team to issue admission notices based on the list and transfer their personal files.
Among the friends who were close to Sun Dahai, in addition to Wang Huan, there were also Jiang Peng, Su Jia, and several children from other schools who entered Yingcai Middle School.
Only Wu Yan, because his parents were from Xinhua News Agency, was recruited from a related school and was not with Sun Dahai and others.
Liang Jingjing and Gao Zhihui were one year ahead of Sun Dahai, and they also transferred to Yingcai Middle School for their second year of junior high school.
Yingcai Middle School is enrolling students for the first time this year, with two classes for each of the four grades, with 40 students in each class.
No one expected that the enrollment quota was actually very tight. The ratio of the number of people who came for interviews to the actual enrollment was 5:1, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
You don't mean to say that they all come here for free! Sun Dahai thought with some malicious intent. But think about it, it's the same truth. If your family has the conditions, you don't necessarily have to let your children study at Yingcai.
For people like Wu Yan, Ma Jian, Xia Tiantian, etc., their families have already arranged prestigious schools for them. The advantage of Yingcai lies in bilingual teaching, the presence of foreign and Xiangjiang teachers, and the various kinds of students during school.
These costs are basically borne by the sponsoring organization.
These conditions are not very attractive to some families, especially now that the school has just been built and there is no actual performance to support it.
Therefore, it is a safe way for Wu Yan, Ma Jian and their parents to continue to arrange their studies according to the original plan.
Sun Dahai had no idea of bringing everyone together at any time. He just promoted the characteristics of Yingcai School to his friends. He did not interfere with who wanted to go. He just compiled the list and handed it over to the school for processing.
But these advantages are too attractive to ordinary families, so Yingcai School only promoted it in a small area and attracted the attention of many parents.
This year's enrollment has ended. Half of the students come from the children of employees of the Food and Heaven Department, as well as the children of employees of some cooperative units. The other half are students who voluntarily enroll after the school passes interviews and takes into account their grades from primary school to junior high school. Wang Huan and others
This is how I entered the school.
The student structure of Yingcai Primary School is similar to that of Yingcai Middle School. However, the kindergarten is somewhat different.
The kindergarten does not recruit students from the outside, but only recruits employees' children from the food-based education system. There are still a small number of places in the kindergarten for school-age children selected from several welfare institutions through recommendations and interviews.
To this end, Yingcai Kindergarten has a dedicated office, which is the contact point for the Civil Affairs Bureau. Two staff members from the Civil Affairs Bureau are stationed in the office to cooperate and supervise the work of the kindergarten at any time.
If the children in these orphanages perform well in the future, they will be promoted step by step through the elite school system until they graduate from high school, continue their studies, or enter society.
This can be regarded as the contribution of the Talent Education Fund to society.
