Chapter 533 Philanthropists are not easy to be

Chapter 533

Uncle He's tone was a little joking, but Li Weidong knew that he was really asking for himself.

He just listened to Uncle He explained: The autonomous region in the northwest is not only more difficult in terms of conditions, but also more difficult to carry out work than in the eastern provinces.

The actual situation in the west is much more complicated than that in the eastern provinces. An airborne cadre like me doesn't know much about the local area, and it's not easy to gain a firm foothold.

Therefore, as a foreign monk, I can't go empty-handed, why do I have to bring a few scriptures! I know quite a few leaders of large domestic companies, but none of those relationships can be used in this matter. After thinking about it, I can only ask you for help!

Li Weidong nodded. Compared with the eastern provinces, the western part is definitely poorer, and the traffic is also very blocked. Poverty and blockade often mean ignorance. This is undoubtedly a difficult copy for economic builders.

What's more, there are many ethnic minorities in the western region, and the cultures of each ethnic group are also different. While focusing on economic construction, we must also take care of local customs and culture. This is obviously a very unfriendly factor for airborne cadres.

If it's just for the sake of gilding and mixing up a resume, it's okay to go empty-handed. But Uncle He really wanted to do things, so of course he had to bring some dry goods at this time, so as to gain the trust of the local people.

Otherwise, if a foreign cadre who doesn't understand the local situation can't even stand firm, how can he do things?

So Li Weidong asked, Uncle, what do you want me to do?

I read the newspaper a few days ago and said that you donated 100 million yuan to the Hope Project and built 500 Hope Primary Schools? Uncle He asked.

Uncle, do you want me to build several Hope Primary Schools in the Northwest Autonomous Region? Li Weidong asked immediately.

A century-old plan, education is the foundation! If education is not done well, economic construction will always be a flower in the mirror.

Uncle He sighed and continued: The education in the west is indeed behind that in the east. Hope primary schools should also be built, but what the west needs most now is not the Hope Primary School, but a condition that allows children to go to school.

Li Weidong was stunned, and he didn't quite understand what Uncle He meant.

Uncle He explained: What the west lacks most is talent, even if you build Hope Primary School, there will not be so many teachers to teach.

Because of the harsh conditions in the west, people with some culture are unwilling to stay in the west, and they all flee to the wealthy provinces in the east.

In order to help the western region attract talents, later countries have introduced various preferential measures, but even so, many people are still reluctant to go to the western region.

At that time, the country did not have so many preferential policies for the western region, and of course the western region could not attract talents.

What's more, the conditions in the west are much worse than those in the east. Those with knowledge and culture will definitely go to the economically developed areas along the east coast to seek a better life. On the contrary, there is a phenomenon of brain drain in the western provinces.

In this case, even if the Hope Primary School is built, teachers cannot be found to teach, so students can't be taught by themselves!

After figuring this out, Li Weidong couldn't help but sigh: Talent is indeed restricting the development of the western region.

Uncle He continued; The talent problem cannot be solved in a short time, but the conditions for going to school I just mentioned can be solved in a short time.

I have also gone to the western provinces for research many times before, of course, mainly to investigate the work of the machinery industry, but I also have a certain understanding of some situations in the northwest autonomous region.

According to the actual situation I have, a large part of the out-of-school children there are not because they do not go to school, but because they cannot go to school.

You also know that the Northwest Autonomous Region has a vast territory. It is no exaggeration to say that the area of ​​a prefecture-level city is larger than that of a province in our eastern part, and the area of ​​a county is larger than that of a city in our eastern part. A township can be several times the size of our capital.

You can imagine, if you want to read, but you ride a camel all day and can't get to the primary school in the town, can you still read a book? Objective conditions do not allow it! That's what I said, no way to go to school.

The Northwest Autonomous Region is not like our eastern provinces. The population there is not so dense and there are not enough resources. Many village-level units do not have primary schools, and many town-level units do not have middle schools.

Therefore, in the Northwest Autonomous Region, many rural children must live in the town if they want to go to primary school, and must live in the county if they want to go to junior high school.

The income of farmers in remote areas is not high, and it costs a lot to have their children live in the town or county. Even if the tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted, many families cannot afford this cost, which will eventually lead to children out of school.

To solve this problem, the best way is to build a dormitory for the school. The school has a dormitory, and children have a place to live. Naturally, they can stay in the school for a long time, and they can study in a down-to-earth manner.

But the cost of building a dormitory is much higher than building a school building. The country's educational resources are already tight, and the western region is relatively poor and has limited financial capacity. Many primary schools do not have student dormitories.

Weidong, I hope you can take part of the 100 million donation to help the primary schools in the west build dormitories, which is equivalent to giving more children a chance to go to school.

After listening to Uncle He's introduction, Li Weidong finally came to a realization.

It turned out that Uncle He was staring at the donation of 100 million yuan, not to let himself build Hope Primary School, but to let himself build dormitories for the existing primary school.

The northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, and the population density in many places is indeed not suitable for building village-level primary schools. Even if they are built, there are few students and it is a waste of teacher resources.

After all, in poverty-stricken areas, teacher resources are also scarce, and it is impossible to place limited educational resources on a few people.

Under such circumstances, it is a common thing to go to the township for primary school, and to go to the county or district for junior high school.

With the area of ​​the Northwest Autonomous Region, the commuting time to school has become an unbearable cost for students.

There, it is not a new thing that you can't get out of the village on foot for a day. It takes several days to go back and forth to the town. How does the child go to school?

The situation is similar in the mountainous areas of southwest China, where there is no vast land, but there are rough and winding mountain roads that also increase the cost of commuting.

The children climbed more than a dozen mountains to go to school, and the school closed before anyone arrived.

In the northwest, the road is too long, and in the southwest, the road is difficult to walk. In the final analysis, it is a matter of commuting time. Even though the state provides subsidies and exemptions for book fees, tuition and miscellaneous fees, etc., the commute time still restricts children from attending school.

The best solution, of course, is to build dormitories for the school and let the children live in the school, thus eliminating the cost of commuting.

Although it may sound cruel to live on campus in elementary school, it is also a no-brainer.

In later generations, many children in remote areas went to school in this way. Some of them studied in the first or second grade in the village, and then went to the school in the town to live on campus.

Some simply let their children grow up. For example, when they are about ten years old, they have a certain ability to take care of themselves, and then go to the primary school in the town to study.

Many Hope Primary Schools to be built in remote western areas in the future will be equipped with special canteens and dormitories to provide guarantee for children's food and lodging.

The state uses this method to ensure that every child can receive compulsory education under the circumstance of limited educational resources.

In the late 1990s, the country was not yet rich and funding for education was not that much. In remote or impoverished areas, it is not easy to build classrooms, and building dormitories is even more of a luxury.

Uncle He was obviously aware of the problem of commuting costs and thought of a solution.

Now Uncle He is about to go to work in the west. If he can bring dormitories to dozens of primary schools, this gift should be enough to make Uncle He, an airborne cadre, gain a firm foothold.

Uncle He's career is related to the future of the He family, and Li Weidong naturally wants to help.

What's more, the 100 million yuan was originally donated to the Hope Project, whether building Hope Primary School or building dormitories for primary schools in remote areas, the purpose is to allow more children to go to school.

So Li Weidong didn't refuse. He nodded and said, Uncle, then I'll contact the Hope Project and change the plan. Give priority to schools in the western region and build some dormitories!

Uncle He let out a sigh of relief, and he said, Wei Dong, with your words, I can take office with confidence!

Li Weidong remembered another thing, and he asked: Uncle, there is something, I also want to ask you to advise you.

What's the matter? Uncle He asked.

As far as I know, this time the country will carry out institutional reforms and will no longer retain more than a dozen ministries and commissions. There will also be many cadres who are facing job adjustments. I wonder if any of them will go to work in enterprises? Li Weidong said. asked.

Uncle He thought for a while and said, There will definitely be people who want to work in enterprises. The purpose of this reform is to promote the development of the socialist market economy and end the system of direct management of enterprises by professional economic departments as soon as possible.

As a result, almost all economic sectors of the industrial specialties were abolished. These industrial specialized economic departments are the products of the planned economy era. At that time, these industrial specialized economic departments were the carriers of resource allocation and the support for the implementation of economic plans.

But now it is a market economy system. The existence of these departments is not conducive to giving full play to the basic role of the market in resource allocation, nor to giving full play to the role of enterprises as the main body of the micro-economic economy. Therefore, they were cancelled to eliminate the organizational fortress of the separation of government and enterprise.

Since the government and enterprises are to be separated, some resources will inevitably be delegated to enterprises, institutions will be abolished, and some people will inevitably be diverted to enterprises.

In fact, in these ministries and agencies specializing in industry, many people are promoted from the enterprise. Some cadres themselves have part-time positions in the enterprise, but now they just return to the original unit!

Is there anyone willing to come to a private enterprise? Li Weidong asked again.

Uncle He was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Li Weidong's intention.

Well, Li Weidong, you are so bold! Thinking of poaching people from these places! Uncle He said.

Anyway, these institutions will be abolished, and a large number of people will be diverted to enterprises, so why not come to me. Our private enterprises are also contributing to the country's economic development! Li Weidong said with a smile.

Uncle He frowned and thought for a while, then asked, What kind of person do you want?

Li Weidong explained: My Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory was originally a county-level collective enterprise, and it has used the management team at that time for so many years.

In the past, it was okay to say that the scale of the enterprise was small, but as the enterprise grew and grew, the management team at that time could no longer meet the needs of the enterprise to move forward. So I've been trying to adjust the current leadership team.

I know that there are many talents in the ministries and commissions. Many of them are promoted from enterprises. Not to mention their outstanding abilities, they also have experience in managing enterprises. Besides, they have worked in Beijing for a long time and have accumulated a lot of connections.

This type of talent is exactly what I urgently need now. If there is such a talent willing to come to our Fukang Agricultural Machinery, I am willing to hire it with a high salary!

It's better to be at the Ministry of Agriculture, if you have connections, it will also make it easier for you to sell agricultural machinery! Uncle He asked.

Li Weidong nodded calmly: If it is a talent in agricultural machinery, the professional counterpart will be even better!

Uncle He thought for a while and said, Don't say it, there are such people. But they were all transferred from state-owned enterprises back then. business!

It depends on people. There are always a few people who are greedy for money. If I give the money in place, how can I kidnap one or two people? Besides, people who eat public meals are always a radish and a pit, and some people even return to their original enterprises. , there may not be a suitable position. If the tree moves the dead and the living, maybe someone is willing to come. Li Weidong said.

It's the same reason. Uncle He nodded, and then said, That's fine, I'll help you pay attention to such talents. But whether you can kidnap people or not depends on your own ability!

...

With a donation of 100 million yuan, Li Weidong's daily life suddenly became busy.

Various public welfare activities have sent invitation letters to Li Weidong, hoping that Li Weidong can participate, and more hope that Li Weidong can donate generously.

Among them, there are many national-level charities such as the Charity Federation, the Red Cross, the Disabled Persons' Federation, the Youth Foundation, and the Ms. Song Foundation.

The activities held by these institutions are also very positive and of an official nature. Li Weidong is not easy to refuse because of his face, so he can only take part in it.

As a donor with a donation of 100 million yuan, Li Weidong will be invited to the C position for every event, and this C position means that he has to pay, and at least six-figure donations are indispensable.

Fortunately, Li Weidong's family is rich and can withstand his toss.

Sitting in the award-giving guest area of ​​an award ceremony, Li Weidong couldn't help but sighed as he felt the young and beautiful hostess constantly looking at himself.

It's not easy to be a philanthropist!
