Chapter 677

"And what about the farm work? Without you, can the farm work in the land be finished?"

Then...

"You idiot!"

The village chief broke in, so angry that he pointed at Zhang Laohan and scolded.

"Do you know how much money this trip costs?"

"Thousands for a round trip!"

"You break garlic sprouts, selling for five cents a catty, breaking twenty catties a day is only ten Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Tian Brother Brother Tian Brother Tian Yuan! You calculate how many days you have to work?"

"This opportunity is so rare for the child!"

Spitting all over Zhang Laohan's face.

Zhang Laohan silently took out his dry tobacco bag and smoked it, and after a long while said hoarsely: "Okay... I can't beat you."

"Don't lose face when you go out, come back and study hard."

Tie Dan's eyes lit up, nodding heavily: "Hmm! Dad, I will definitely study hard, and take you to the Imperial Capital in the future, see Tiananmen, see the Great Wall, go to Hong Kong!"

Hey~~~

Zhang Laohan heard this, it seems...

As a farmer, he felt that his life was like this. If he had to say he had any thoughts, Tie Dan's marriage was one, and the other, perhaps, was to go to the Imperial Capital, take a look at Tiananmen, take a look at the Great Wall, or take a look at that old man...

Thinking about it, it seems good.

Zhang Laohan glared at the village chief: "You get out."

Village chief: "If you don't let Tie Dan go, don't think about getting any poverty alleviation subsidies in the future!"

After speaking, he left and closed the door.

Zhang Laohan hummed, got up and felt a cloth bag from the wooden box on the kang, took out five Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Tian Brother Brother Tian Brother Tian Yuan and stuffed it to his son:

"Go to the township tomorrow and buy a new set of clothes, you can't lose face when you go out..."

Tie Dan clutched the banknotes that still had his father's body temperature, and suddenly found that his father's hunched back seemed to straighten up a bit.

"No need, Dad, the village chief said, there will be a set of travel uniforms issued at that time..."

"There's such a good thing?"

"Of course!"

Outside the window, the sunset on the loess slope gradually sank, but the hearts of the father and son rose with a bright sun.

The whole province,

on the playgrounds of various Five Star primary schools, the same scene happened continuously.

The old village chief or principal stood on the simple platform, announcing the list of students who were first in each grade with a loudspeaker.

The winning children rushed to the stage excitedly, took the brand-new award certificates, and let the students under the stage cheer and envy.

"Free Hong Kong travel, see high-rise buildings, take planes, take cruise ships!"

"Learning changes destiny!"

One sentence after another, like a spark, ignited the children's longing for the future.

More and more children are more determined to study hard.

They flipped through photo albums, full of yearning for high-rise buildings, planes, and big ships.

"I want to be first! I want to go to Hong Kong!"

Children no longer think that reading is useless, but regard it as the only opportunity to walk out of the loess slope.

In the more than 8,000 Five Star primary schools in the province, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan is quietly changing the destiny of countless rural children.

Provincial Department of Education.

Li Li Cangdong of the Five Star Group discussed the specific plan for the trip in Shaanxi.

In the conference room, sunlight shone on the dark brown conference table through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Director Zhang sat in the main seat, sincerely thanking Li Li Cangdong and Xie Xie Weihao:

"General Manager Li, General Manager Xie, first of all, on behalf of the Provincial Department of Education, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Five Star Group for its huge contribution to the education cause in Shaanxi!"

"The more than 8,000 primary schools donated by the Five Star Group have improved the children's learning environment! And this travel plan, which closely combines tourism and education, can even stimulate the children's dreams and motivation."

"Director Zhang is too polite, our boss Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu has always said that we are all Chinese compatriots..."

The two sides held a meeting for more than an hour.

Finally,

Director Zhang closed the document and solemnly stated:

"The Provincial Department of Education will fully support this plan! We will coordinate the education departments of various cities and counties in the province to ensure that every batch of students can travel smoothly."

"At the same time, we will also vigorously promote it in the media, so that more people can see the good deeds of the Five Star Group."

The leader has heard about the Five Star Group's investment in Sichuan.

The investment scale is twice as large as that in Shaanxi.

emmm~~~~

Clearly I came first~~~

That day,

Shaanxi TV broadcast this news.

The people of the whole province praised it.

The next day, CCTV reporters rushed to Shaanxi, collected a lot of material, and returned to the Imperial Capital.

The third day, CCTV news broadcast relevant news:

"Recently, the 'Excellent Student Award Plan' carried out by the Five Star Group in Shaanxi Province. The group not only donated more than 8,000 rural primary schools in the province, but also provided opportunities for students with excellent character and learning to study in Hong Kong... Please see the detailed report below."

The screen switched to a rural primary school in Shaanxi.

Interviewing the village chief, Zhang Tie Dan, and Zhang Laohan.

Zhang Tie Dan was excited and flushed: "I want to study hard, walk out of the loess mountains, and want to be a pilot in the future!"

Village chief: "Thanks to the Five Star Group..."

Zhang Laohan was so excited that he didn't know what to say: "I... emmm~~~"

Damn, my son has gained face for our Zhang family!

The ancestral grave is smoking!

Screen switch, interviewing Director Zhang: "The Five Star Group's study tour plan will open a window for rural children to see the world, which can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of students, and is of great significance..."

Interviewing Li Li Cangdong: "My boss Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu often says that education is the foundation of changing destiny. We hope that through such an incentive mechanism, rural students can actively learn, walk out of the mountains, increase their knowledge, and establish lofty ideals."

News host reported: "It is reported that the plan is fully supported by enterprises under the Five Star Group, and experts estimate that the funds consumed will exceed 200 million HKD..."

Finally, a concluding remark was made.

"This cross-regional love study aid action of the Hong Kong-funded Five Star Group fully demonstrates the responsibility and commitment of Hong Kong businessmen to care about the motherland and give back to society..."

"Here, on behalf of the vast number of teachers, students, and parents in Shaanxi, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and the Five Star Group. His good deeds not only changed the destiny of these children, but also sowed seeds of hope for the future of Shaanxi..."

Shenzhen,

Xiao Ma is surfing the internet at the company again, chatting with other netizens on the BBS.

"This Five Star Group is on the news again."

"My God, spending hundreds of millions again to send people to Hong Kong for tourism."

"This is just one semester, two semesters a year, 500 million is spent like this."

"Is it that rich?"

"Don't forget, they also donated 1.5 billion in Sichuan..."

"Ridiculous~~~"

Xiao Ma sighed: "If I can earn 2 billion in this life, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."

Various great gods, chatting all the way.

Among those chatting with Xiao Ma, there is also Ding Ding Sanshi, a technician at the Ningbo Telecommunications Bureau (iron rice bowl).

Ding Ding Sanshi's experience can be called a legend of early internet,

He was in the Telecommunications Bureau, felt it was too repetitive and monotonous, and after many technical innovation suggestions to the unit were rejected, he resigned from the Telecommunications Bureau in 1995 against his parents' opposition and went to Guangzhou alone.

He worked as a technician in two companies in Guangzhou, still felt it was monotonous and boring, so he resigned in 1997 and started his own business.

In June 1997, he founded NetEase in Guangzhou, initially focusing on email, and officially reformed in 1998, becoming the NetEase portal website. That is the famous NetEase later.

However, now Ding Ding Sanshi is just a small employee of the Telecommunications Bureau.

"A man should be like this~~~"

Ding Ding Sanshi saw Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu on CCTV news twice, and he was so prominent, which made the young him yearn for it, full of heroism.

This is another netizen, "Begging the Boss," who appeared at this time.

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I have met him..."

As soon as this remark came out,

the BBS became lively.

"Really met him?"

"Fake, right?"

"Where?"

"Begging the Boss's" qualifications are a bit older: he joined the Hong Kong Kingsoft company in 1988 and was engaged in the development of WPS office software in Shenzhen; in 1989, he successfully developed WPS 1.0; in 1994, the boss of Hong Kong Kingsoft invested in "Begging the Boss" and established Zhuhai Kingsoft Computer Company, and "Begging the Boss" became the boss himself.

"Begging the Boss": "In the Imperial Capital... that time he went to Zhongguancun..."

"Begging the Boss" roughly talked about it.

Ding Ding Sanshi asked: "I heard he is only 30 years old?"

"Begging the Boss": "He is very young, I feel like I am older than him. By the way, I am 30 this year... Also, his charm is super strong, making people feel like a spring breeze, unable to give birth to any ill will..."

Others asked one after another...

At this time,

another Xiao Ma from Hangzhou also joined the BBS, chatting and asking questions curiously.

"Begging the Boss" answered one by one what he knew, and the BBS was hot.

Many people are more curious about that Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu—what kind of person is this?

Undoubtedly, for them, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is currently a legend that they have to break their necks to see!

Shaanxi, Loess Plateau.

The sky was just dawning, the village's rooster hadn't crowed yet, and Zhang Tie Dan climbed up from the kang.

He was wearing new trousers—this was the cloth specially torn by his dad with the money from selling garlic sprouts, newly sewn.

"Tut tut tut~~~~"

The old village chief's tractor, which was emitting black smoke, had already stopped at the courtyard gate.

"Get on quickly!" The old village chief smoked dry tobacco and grabbed Tie Dan and threw him into the car bucket.

There were already 5 earth babies in the car bucket, from the first grade to the 6th grade of primary school, a total of 6. They were like a nest of sparrows just out of the cage, chatting and chatting.

"Dad, I'm leaving~~~" Tie Dan waved goodbye.

Dad stood at the door, smoking dry tobacco, and waved to him.

The tractor bumped on the rugged loess road, raising dust all over the sky.

Tie Dan watched his dad's figure gradually go away.

Soon the tractor arrived at the county government square, where three shiny buses were parked, and the gold characters "Five Star Group Study Tour Special Car" on the bus body shone in the sun.

Students from villages in all directions were gathering.

The counselor in uniform was distributing clothes, trousers, shoes, and socks to the children one by one.

"Line up!" Counselor Wang held a loudspeaker and shouted, "Remember your number!"

"Go take a shower first, wash clean, and then put on clothes..."

"We can't go to Hong Kong covered in dust, because we represent our image..."

Soon,

one by one, the little brats washed quickly, clean and refreshed, washed their hair, put on uniforms, and got on the bus.

Some principals, some village chiefs, also went together.

Tie Dan climbed into the car, his butt just touched the seat and he bounced up—how can this leather chair be softer than the kang in the village chief's house!

"Fasten your seat belts!" Counselor Wang demonstrated the action, Tie Dan learned to pull the belt to make a "click" sound, and didn't dare to let go even if his stomach hurt.

The bus started and went to the airport.

Steamed buns were distributed on the way to fill their stomachs.

3 hours later,

When the bus drove out of the highway and was about to arrive at the airport, all the children stared blankly at the huge terminal building.

It was only built and opened to navigation in 1991, so it is relatively new.

Tie Dan looked at the huge and majestic building, his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

Suddenly,

another classmate, Zhuzi, pinched him hard:

"Look! Is that a plane?"

On the apron, the Boeing 747 of Hong Kong Dragon Airlines was docked, and it didn't look very long from a distance.

Next, it was security check, etc...

2 hours later, officially entered the cabin.

All the little guys were very nervous, but fortunately, the village chief or principal was by their side, giving them a backbone.

Soon, the plane took off.

Higher and higher.

Tie Dan had fear, anxiety, and excitement.

First time flying in his life, experience!

"Look, that's the Yellow River!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

Tie Dan, sitting by the window, widened his eyes and looked down, feeling a bit dizzy, but he did see a "small river" coming from the north and then turning to the east.

3 hours later,

"Dear passengers, hello..."

Broadcast: "Now we have arrived over Guangzhou, 10 minutes away from Hong Kong..."

Don't know how long passed,

finally,

Broadcast, "Now we have arrived over Hong Kong..."

"Welcome everyone to Hong Kong..."

"Please fasten your seat belts, the plane is about to land..."

Adjust the angle, landing runway...

The bumps during landing made several children scream.

Tie Dan grabbed the vomit bag tightly, but saw dense high-rise buildings outside the window.

Hong Kong, I finally came!

Read the Hong Kong photo album over and over again, this time finally came.

At this time, the time is 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Airport entrance.

ATV and TVB reporters had been waiting at the airport entrance early.

They had already received instructions from above, this time to film the scene of primary school students from the Mainland traveling in Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong at this time, there are still many discriminatory behaviors against the Mainland, feeling poor and backward.

So,

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu needs ATV and TVB to guide citizens to try to look at these little tourists from the Mainland with an inclusive attitude.

Soon,

groups of students, led by Five Star Property staff, accepted interviews from ATV and TVB, then left the airport, got on the bus, and headed to their destination.

ATV and TVB returned to the TV station with the filmed material.

In the evening, ATV and TVB evening news broadcast:

"Today, Kai Tak Airport welcomed a group of special tourists from the Mainland, a group of 6-13 year old children..."

"They come from the loess land of the Mainland, where it is poor, simple, and they have never seen high-rise buildings, have never seen modern technology..."

"Next, they will experience five days of tourism, knowing Hong Kong..."

Citizens of Hong Kong: "????"

These tourists are indeed very special.

So small...

And one by one they look dark, look very earthy.

Just then,

the lens switched to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office,

"This afternoon, regarding this matter, we conducted an interview with Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu faced the camera:

"Dear citizens of Hong Kong, hello everyone, I am Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu."

"This group of children is from the Five Star Group..."

Said the matter once.

"They are our compatriots, all with the same Yanhuang blood."

"Their ancestors, like us, have experienced war, famine, and suffering..."

"When we complain in the tea restaurant that the milk tea is not sweet enough, these children have to walk ten miles of mountain road to get to school; when our children throw a tantrum because their toys are not new enough, their biggest wish is to walk out of the mountains and see the outside world..."

"They are not 'Mainlanders', not 'country bumpkins'... they are our compatriots, our younger brothers and sisters, our juniors."

"So, I call on here: please, dear citizens, if you meet these children on the street in the next few days..."

"Please be a little more patient, give a smile."

"I hope that after they leave Hong Kong, in their subsequent lives, the impression Hong Kong leaves on them is civilization, warmth, kindness, and tolerance, rather than rudeness, arrogance, indifference, and selfishness..."

"If you only show arrogance, indifference, and rudeness, these will not set off your nobility, but will only make you ugly, making Hong Kong ashamed because of you."

"And if you show warmth and kindness, it will leave a very precious and beautiful memory for your compatriots, younger brothers and sisters for a lifetime!"

"Do you want an ugly Hong Kong?"

"Or a beautiful Hong Kong?"
