Chapter 323 Winter Vacation [Request Full Order]

Lu Yang's method is not new.

In later generations, this is very common. A large number of companies have reached cooperation with certain colleges through donations or other means. They have done their best to digest these batches of results by training students in the required majors and providing designated internships.

But nowadays, it is somewhat shocking.

One thing I need to make clear here is that what is shocking is not the cooperation itself, but the cooperating company, which is not a state-owned enterprise but a private enterprise.

Why do you say that?

Here we have to reveal a fact. It is not a new thing for enterprises to cooperate with colleges and universities and use the colleges and universities to help them train qualified workers. In fact, for example, the Baoqing Technical College where Meng Wenxian is currently employed was originally named the Second Textile Factory Technical School. Even the entire school was run by the state-owned textile machinery factory. The students trained there were all directly absorbed by the state-owned enterprise and became glorious textile workers.

But now, state-owned enterprises have begun to decline. They simply cannot absorb so many students internally. They cannot even maintain the existing workers, and many of them have started to be laid off, right?
This refers to the vast majority.

The country has seen this and naturally wants the enterprises to save themselves. Restructuring is one aspect, and getting rid of burdens, such as allowing the colleges and universities under these state-owned enterprises to separate from the enterprises and hand them over to local governments, or to operate them independently, is another aspect.

This is the current situation at Baoqing Technical College. After the state-owned No. 2 Textile Machinery Factory could no longer afford its operating expenses independently, it had to hand over its management rights to the local government, which also provided part of the operating expenses, but also retained the textile major.

After graduation of textile major students, the Second Textile Machinery Factory reserves the right to give priority to selecting outstanding graduates.

Is this a kind of designated cooperation between enterprises and colleges and universities?

Of course that counts.

It’s just because the cooperating enterprise is a state-owned enterprise and belongs to the country, so ordinary people think it is normal.

But now Lu Yang proposed that he also wanted to do the same thing, would that work?

After hearing what Lu Yang said, Meng Wenxian did not refuse or agree immediately. Instead, he considered it for a while and said, "You have no precedent. I don't know about it in China, but I am sure it is the only one in the province. It is a bit too bold. Let me say this. I can't agree to you now. I will go back to the school to discuss it with the old principal and hold an internal meeting. If the discussion is passed, I will give you a reply then."

As he spoke, his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. It was obvious that this task was difficult to accomplish, but the man in front of him was his wife's son, a junior whom he treated as half a son. After all the effort he put in to ask for help, he was unable to do anything. Wouldn't that make him seem incompetent?
He also wants to save face.

So even if there are difficulties, you have to give it a try first. The worst that can happen is that you will get criticized by the old principal again.

Lu Yang observed Uncle Meng's expression and suddenly smiled, "Uncle Meng, you don't have to be nervous. I never ask for help for free. Since we are cooperating with your college, we must do it through formal cooperation methods.

How about this, Uncle Meng, you go back to school and discuss a charter with your old principal. If you are inclined to cooperate, we can talk about it later. But I declare that regardless of success or failure, I am willing to donate 100 million yuan to our school through the enterprise to train talents in electronic technology and communications."

If you want to catch the fish, you have to bet big. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Sure enough, when Meng Wenxian heard Lu Yang agree to donate 100 million to the college regardless of success or failure, his pupils shrank and he said in shock, "One million is not a small amount. Are you really willing to donate it for free?"

No wonder he was so excited.

Although he is only a vice-president now, the old principal has already talked to him. When the old principal retires, if nothing unexpected happens and he has enough experience, he will basically be chosen as the successor.

But if he can secure 100 million in free social donations for the school this time, wouldn't that be another step closer to the position of principal?
A man may not be interested in women, but he will never give up the rights and opportunities he has obtained.

The same goes for Meng Wenxian.

This is all he aspires for now. He hopes that before he retires, he can become the principal of Baoqing Technical School and develop the school.

1: To prove to the old principal that he made the right choice of successor.

2: When I go to the underworld in the future and see my teacher, I will have something to say.

"Teacher, look, this is the small technical school where you taught when you were sent down to the countryside. I have now expanded it. Look, isn't it hundreds of times bigger now? The students I trained are now all over China, and have become talents in all walks of life. Teacher, I have achieved what you hoped for back then, that students will be everywhere in the world!"

It's wonderful to think about it.

If you want to realize this wish, the first step is to become a principal. The key to becoming a principal is whether the grandson of the teacher in front of you can really give out the 100 million yuan for free?

"Son, what do you mean by one million? Do you want to donate it? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Ye Qiuyu had no idea about her husband's ambitions. At this moment, all her thoughts were focused on worrying about her son.

I’m worried that my son is too young and won’t be able to keep the wealth in his pocket.

One million!
It’s enough for a mother like her to spend for 10 lifetimes.

Meng Wenxian's lips trembled and he almost stood up in excitement to refute, but luckily he managed to hold himself back.

This is my wife's biological son. From her perspective, it is normal for her to worry about the loss of her son's wealth.

No, I have to reorganize my language.

He thought about it and decided that he couldn't act on his own selfishness. As a stepfather, he should try to persuade the young man in front of him.

Of course, Lu Yang would not wait endlessly like this. Seeing that Uncle Meng had finished speaking and his mother had also spoken, he smiled and said, "Uncle Meng, you don't have to worry about the money, and mother, you don't have to worry about me. Although 100 million is not a small amount, it depends on where it is spent."

Lu Yang said confidently: "It is not easy for our hometown to produce a relatively successful private entrepreneur, and I am relatively successful. Since I have succeeded, I think it is necessary to give back to my hometown through practical actions.

There is a saying: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

If it is simply for poverty alleviation, 100 million is really a drop in the bucket. It won't help many poor people and will soon be spent.

But if we use this money to train our own scientific and technological talents, train reemployment, train high-level workers, and create a good business environment, after 10 to 20 years of hard work, when the enterprises develop, it will be easier for people to find jobs near their homes, their wallets will be fatter, the government will collect more taxes, and there will be money to do more livelihood projects. Wouldn’t that mean we have won the battle against poverty? "

Lu Yang chose to discuss the significance of his donation to the vocational high school in his hometown from another perspective.

Ling Meng Wenxian and Ye Qiuyu, the couple, were unable to refute for a moment.

Of course, some people may not be willing to refute in their hearts.

Meng Wenxian once again suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Okay, that's very well said."

He turned around, looked at Ye Qiuyu and said, "Junior sister, since your son has such an ambition, you as a mother should not stop him. Moreover, if your father-in-law is still alive, he will definitely be pleased to see such a result."

When Ye Qiuyu heard his father being mentioned, he thought, that's right. If his father were still alive, he would definitely agree with Yangzi's decision.

"Okay, since you have this intention, then I won't persuade you anymore."

Ye Qiuyu stood up and said, "You two can chat while I go get you some midnight snacks." After all, she still felt a little sorry for the 100 million, so she simply chose to ignore it.

Seeing that his mother had left, Lu Yang smiled mysteriously at Uncle Meng and whispered, "Uncle Meng, you don't think 100 million is a lot, do you?

It is made up of 100 1 pieces, or 1 pieces of 100. If one person comes to spend the money, with today's prices, he may not be able to spend it all in his lifetime. But what if 100, 1000, or 1 people come to spend the money at the same time?
Uncle Meng, are there many students in your school?
Do you have plans to build a new teaching building or introduce new teaching equipment?
Is this 100 million enough for you to spend in a year?

Alas, I had planned to donate 100 million every year, but——"

Lu Yang pretended to be very regretful.

Meng Wenxian blurted out: "Just what?"

There is a difference between donating 100 million every year and donating 100 million in one go.

With a one-time donation of 100 million yuan, his position as the principal was basically secured. However, there was still some suspense because there were still two years before the old principal retired completely. Within this one or two years, if something unexpected happened, it was not impossible that his wish as the successor would be dashed.

But what if the young man in front of you promised to donate 100 million to the school every year?
Given the relationship between us, when the old principal retires in the future, even if I want to give up the position and stop being the principal, I'm afraid that won't work, right?
It's a certainty.

It has to be set in stone.

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Uncle Meng, let me be frank. 100 million is easy to get, but it is not so easy to get 100 million from me every year. As I said before, I hope to reach a resource sharing and technical cooperation with your school. I will pay for it, and you will provide training and send a group of excellent graduates to my company. This is actually a win-win situation, isn't it?
Win-win situation. Meng Wenxian certainly knows that it is a win-win situation, but there is no precedent for private enterprises to participate in vocational high education, and he is afraid that the impact will not be very good.

He gritted his teeth.

"Fuck it, someone has to eat the first bite of crab. If no one else wants to eat it, then I'll eat it."

After all, he used to be the deputy director of a state-owned enterprise, and at his peak he managed two to three thousand people.

Now I finally showed some courage.

Meng Wenxian slammed the table and stood up and said, "Get the money ready. As long as everything you said is true and I won't break my promise, I will do it for you. Just wait for good news."

Lu Yang said happily: "Then I wish you immediate success, Uncle Meng."

The living room instantly became harmonious.

Ye Qiuyu also came over with the prepared midnight snack, three simple bowls of noodles, and the tops were the fried beef and celery left over from dinner.

Added some chopped red pepper.

So it looks red and green, which makes people full of appetite.

"The noodles are here, let's eat."

Meng Wenxian greeted Lu Yang enthusiastically: "Hand-rolled noodles should be eaten while hot. They won't taste good when they're cold. If they clump together, it's a waste of delicious food."

Ye Qiuyu also called Lu Yang: "Son, you eat first. I'll go see if your sister is asleep. If she wants to have some, I still have a big bowl here. You can give her half. We girls have small appetites and can't eat too much."

After hearing his mother say this, Lu Yang no longer insisted. Plus, they had been chatting for such a long time that he felt a little hungry. He took the chopsticks and slurped up the noodles in the bowl.

"Well."

"good to eat."

The food was so spicy that he was sweating all over, but Lu Yang felt more and more refreshed the more he ate. As a Hunanese who loves spicy food, he likes to eat noodles as long as there is chopped chili in the noodles and the soup is red.

Half a month passed quickly.

Lu Yang stayed in his mother and Uncle Meng's house in the city of Baoqing for a full half month.

This half month's stay was not in vain, as I received two pieces of good news.

The first good news: Du Lingling really has a powerful background. With her help, the approval procedures were basically green-lighted and the land was approved quickly.

200 acres.

It was agreed before that only 100 acres would be given initially, but this time an additional 100 acres were given directly.

Of course, Lu Yang also had to spend money to buy it, but it was a very cheap price. In this era, especially in small third- and fourth-tier cities in the mainland, or in the suburbs, land is really cheap.

The second good news: The old principal of Baoqing Technical School finally gave in and agreed to Lu Yang's request for cooperation after Meng Wenxian's repeated persuasion and Lu Yang's financial offensive.

But the old principal also made a request.

That's what he said.

"Boss Lu, your donation is a good thing. I think we should find some media to expose it. It would be best if everyone knows about it, even ordinary people know about it. This way, there will be no obstacles to our cooperation. What do you think?"

Lu Yang agreed on the spot.

He also praised the other party for being strong and healthy despite his old age. It turned out that old ginger is still wise. Why didn't he think of it? It could be done this way?

In fact, Lu Yang had thought of it a long time ago, he was just giving the other party a chance to bring it up first.

This will give you a greater sense of accomplishment and participation.

At last.

There is one more news.

This last piece of news has two sides. Some people think it is good, while others think it is bad.

Those who think it is good are applauding at this moment.

Those who think it is bad are also worried at the moment because they have to go to the train station to pick someone up later.

————It turns out that winter vacation has already started!!!
Meng Xiaotian was very happy because she was about to meet her sister-in-law and niece. She kept chirping around her brother like a little sparrow.
