Chapter two hundred and ninety nine interview
Chapter 299 Meeting
Zhongnanhai is a sacred place and a mysterious place in the minds of all Chinese people. However, Wang Xiaoming is able to go to such a place today. Although he will not stay here for too long, this also makes Wang Xiaoming excited.
Last night, Wang Xiaoming had already received a notice that he was going to Zhongnanhai this morning, and a central leader wanted to see him. The largest government that Wang Xiaoming had contacted in this life was the provincial government, so how could he not be excited to go to Zhongnanhai? He woke up very early this morning. Before dawn, he had to sit on the bed, stretch his legs and keep pressing his back. This not only allowed him to relax his muscles and promote blood circulation, but also calmed his excitement.
"You can wait here for a while, and Mr. Gao will come to see you later."
This time, Lin Jingwen did not come in with Wang Xiaoming, and Paul and Kochakin were also banned from coming with him. Just kidding, do you still have to worry about safety issues when you arrive in Zhongnanhai? So Wang Xiaoming didn't say much after hearing that the other party did not allow the bodyguard to go with him. In Wang Xiaoming's heart, maybe Paul and Kochakin are very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they cannot surpass Zhongnanhai bodyguards. Who made Wang Xiaoming so impressed this?
Wang Xiaoming looked at the decorations in the room. They were not luxurious, but they were very exquisite and quaint. Except for a genuine leather sofa in the middle of the room, there was not much modern things here.
Drinking the authentic Longjing in front of the Rain, after a while, Wang Xiaoming heard a refreshing smile coming from outside, and soon a spirited old man appeared at the door. If he hadn't seen his silver hair, it would be impossible for him to know his actual age by just listening to the sound.
"You are Wang Xiaoming, you are really young and promising." Old Gao's voice was loud, Wang Xiaoming stood close to him, and his eardrums were sore.
It was not until after entering here that Wang Xiaoming knew who this Mr. Gao was. In his previous life, Wang Xiaoming had little impression of other Central officials except for several members of the Standing Committee of the Central Power Scheme Bureau. After all, he could only know his appearance through TV, and he could basically use the news broadcast. Although Mr. Gao was also a big boss of the Central Committee, he was not a person who often appeared on TV. Of course, this is just that compared to Wang Xiaoming's power struggle, he was basically illiterate. In fact, as long as he was in the officialdom, he would know this Mr. Gao.
"Old Gao, you have been too rewarded, what good is your kid?" Wang Xiaoming said modestly.
"If you don't talk about the company you founded, just talk about your feat in Gansu that many children from poor areas have gone to school? It indirectly drives local economic development and reduces their burden accordingly. You will definitely be able to bear the four words "Youthfulness and prosperity." Mr. Gao laughed.
Although Wang Xiaoming also thought that this person would definitely conduct an investigation on him, he did not expect that his investigation would be so detailed and he was also satisfied with the efficiency of the relevant departments in this regard. But it would be great if all departments could have such efficiency.
"Xiao Ming, I'd better call you Xiao Ming. I heard that your previous plan was to build a batch of middle schools, but it was not completed because the Ministry of Education did not approve it?" Mr. Gao immediately got to the point after greeting him. This was also the reason why he called Wang Xiaoming from afar. Because he paid attention to Wang Xiaoming, he had read his previous plan. Mr. Gao was also interested. He really couldn't understand why a young person was interested in education? What's more, this kind of investment that only invests but does not see output?
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Gao thought about calling Wang Xiaoming to Beijing. Otherwise, with his current position, although he had already retired to the second line, he still had a constant meeting every day and was too busy.
"Yes." Wang Xiaoming replied carefully, thinking to himself, can he gain the right to build a middle school because of this? You must know that the most important education stage for a person's life is primary school, followed by middle school. Primary school is the best stage to lay the foundation, while middle school is the best stage to satisfy their desire for knowledge and broaden their horizons. If these two periods are affected by insufficient external conditions, perhaps their lives will be ruined!
"I heard that after you are not allowed to build a middle school in China, you bought a piece of land in Hong Kong and planned to build a first-class middle school there, right?" Mr. Gao said casually.
Although Wang Xiaoming was mentally prepared, he did not expect that Mr. Gao’s understanding of himself was like he took off all his clothes and stood in front of him.
"That's right, but no matter how big that school is, it can only provide thousands of students to attend. Take the one thousand schools I have built in Gansu as an example. Then I can only admit a few people from each school to study in Hong Kong." Wang Xiaoming said that the biggest difference between China and the West is that China emphasizes elite teaching, while the West emphasizes mass education. Or that Chinese children study for their parents, while foreign children can basically study for themselves.
"Actually, I am most interested in it is not your school. Can you tell me why you have such an idea?" Gao asked. Before he retired to the second line, he was a member of the State Council, responsible for the education, culture and health departments. Although he has retired, he is still doing this. If Wang Xiaoming could get to know him earlier or come into his sight earlier, then perhaps his plan would not be limited to Gansu. At least he would have to build hundreds of them, as long as Wang Xiaoming was willing to pay.
Although Wang Xiaoming didn't know Mr. Gao's past, since he asked this question, Wang Xiaoming could only answer truthfully. Of course, this truthful answer was only used by Wang Xiaoming to respond to people today, such as to allow students from poor areas to study and realize their previous wishes. In short, Wang Xiaoming could not tell others that I don't want Chinese education to be industrialized, and I don't want future Chinese students to see only money. When students have no thoughts, the entire nation has no future.
"If everyone could have such ideas as you and could contribute so selflessly, then our country's education industry would have been done long ago." Gao said with a smile. Wang Xiaoming's approach is definitely selfless now. At least Mr. Gao has not discovered that Wang Xiaoming can benefit from it for the time being. Generally speaking, investing in education is not only fame and fortune, but Wang Xiaoming asked his behavior in Gansu not to be disclosed by the media. This can be done easily in China. In addition, he did not want any outstanding young people, model workers or CPPCC members. Even if the Gansu Education Department gave him an honor last time, Wang Xiaoming didn't care. He just asked Zhou Min to go on his behalf.
"I am also a student now, so I can say that I have some ability, so I will do something within my ability." Wang Xiaoming still doesn't know what Mr. Gao is looking for him. It's the most tiring to talk to such a person. They may not say anything to you directly, but if you listen carefully to every word of him, you will immediately find that there are mystery everywhere in your words.
In fact, Mr. Gao has not fought any puzzles with Wang Xiaoming now. He is just interested in Wang Xiaoming. In China, he can't just invest hundreds of millions of dollars. Moreover, this kind of investment will continue. Now, in just one thousand primary schools, Wang Xiaoming spends tens of millions of dollars on it every year.
"If you were given another opportunity now, would you continue to invest in middle schools? The location is still in Gansu." Mr. Gao asked. He heard this last time when he was listening to the report from the Ministry of Education. Why didn't someone come to invest in schools and run a green light? There are restrictions and obstacles here. Such things are like pies falling from the sky. Where can I find them? At that time, he criticized the people from the Ministry of Education. Later, people from the Gansu Provincial Department of Education came to Beijing for a meeting, and he called them to give me a lecture.
You should know that the 1,000 primary schools in Gansu have basically not been passed through the local education department. If the local education department must make any contribution, it only plays a witness. It helps Dake Company to prove that the primary schools they invest in and build in various places are legal. On the contrary, the villages where each school is located are the most cooperative, and people are needed to provide people and land, but they have no money, and it is not their turn to pay for this.
"Of course, I'm willing to build another hundred middle schools, including junior and high schools," said Wang Xiaoming.
"It seems that your financial resources are really strong. Since you have expressed this attitude, I also expressed my opinion on behalf of the Ministry of Education. As long as you have money, you can build any school you want!" Mr. Gao said with a smile.
"Would it be fine if I want to build a university?" Wang Xiaoming suddenly asked. In fact, college is what he wants to build the most. Of course, he cannot provide jobs after graduating from university. Moreover, even if his university does not charge any fees, he has no competitive advantage compared to current universities. However, in a few years, such a university that emphasizes ability and neglects diplomas will become a trend and trend.
"College is higher education. Even if you build it, do you have such a faculty? Your school definitely cannot provide jobs. Can you still attract others to study?" Mr. Gao didn't expect that Wang Xiaoming would actually propose to build a university. This question is not something he can decide right now. This involves new policies and regulations. Although some people have recently wanted to reform the education system, at least it is just a statement.
