Chapter 333: Be clean(1/3)
Chu Lingyun’s original purpose of setting up this school was to allow parents to avoid future wars and to better protect them.
The reason why I chose this place is that it is relatively safe and I know that the Japanese have not bombed it. Chu Lingyun deliberately controlled the size of the school to prevent it from attracting the attention of the Japanese. In addition, it is far away from the urban area, so the Japanese will not waste artillery shells.
Come bomb a school like this.
But if there are many students in the school, it may attract the attention of Japanese people.
Chu Lingyun knows very well how vicious the Japanese are.
The so-called humanitarianism does not exist for them. Places with large numbers of people will definitely become their key targets.
Chu Lingyun originally spent 20,000 US dollars to build the school, but not all of the money was used for students.
It takes money to build a school, money to recruit teachers, and money to do all the preliminary work.
The remaining money is used for three years, so as to maintain the maximum number of 200 students so as not to attract the Japanese.
Smith took the decision without authorization and directly donated 20,000 yuan.
If all the US$20,000 is spent on students, the scale can be expanded five times to 1,000 students.
Chu Lingyun can guarantee that a school with so many students will definitely attract Japanese bombers.
By then, not only will parents be in danger, but many students will most likely die in the war.
Even if the $20,000 is not used up at once, but divided into several years, there will be no problem in doubling the number of students. A school with 400 students will be equally unsafe.
This is not Chu Lingyun’s original intention.
"Chu, what's wrong with you?"
Smith finally noticed Chu Lingyun's face and asked in confusion.
"You made money, right? Donate 20,000 yuan at a time. Since you are so rich, I will deduct all the previous expenses for your villa."
Chu Lingyun gritted his teeth and said, Smith can't stay here anymore, let him go back as soon as possible, not to Shanghai, but to the United States.
He can do whatever he wants in the United States, and don't stay in China and cause trouble.
Now that there is Chloe, she is closer to Thomas, and Smith is no longer needed here.
As for his partners, Chloe can be allowed to be Smith's nominal agent when the time comes, and they will also do business with Americans.
Besides, Smith has nothing to do in Shanghai and has no rights. It is better to send him back to the United States and let him help expand the scale of the business there.
During the war, not only did sulfa make money, many drugs made money, and there were also many daily necessities.
Now their goods are transported by passenger ships. In the future, if there are more goods, they can use their own cargo ships to transport them faster.
"No, I donated it in the name of the company, not my money."
Smith replied solemnly that he made a lot of money from this shipment, but he also had a lot of expenses. If the $20,000 was deducted from his dividends, he would have no money.
Chu Lingyun laughed angrily, but felt relieved.
Donating in the name of the company still has room for maneuver.
"Who gave you the right to donate so much money on behalf of the company?"
Chu Lingyun asked coldly, and Smith noticed something was wrong. In his understanding, Chu Lingyun was very supportive of his parents running schools.
They have earned so much money and donating some of it to expand the school is completely reasonable and normal behavior. Chu Lingyun should be happy, but he did not expect this attitude at all.
"Chu, isn't this what you've always wanted to do?" Smith asked doubtfully.
"This is not."
Chu Lingyun glared at him fiercely: "Since you donated the money, now listen to me and explain it clearly immediately. Just like last time, this money will be used in three years, and it will be used to build a new campus. It cannot be used in
If you don't do well in this school, I will deduct the money from your dividends."
Smith took the initiative to donate money and could not regret it, otherwise his parents would be very disappointed.
But this money must not be used to expand the scale and recruit more students.
He can only find a safe place to build a branch school. The location cannot be too far away. He has to carefully recall whether there is a safe place nearby for his parents to build a school.
"Why? Isn't it nice to be here?"
Smith was relieved, as long as he was not asked to pay. He only had a 10% dividend, and the company paid for it. He calculated 10%, and two thousand dollars was no problem for him. He was also willing to use the money to help others.
But if all the money he has now is taken away, he will definitely not be happy.
"You don't have to ask why, just do it honestly as I ask. If you don't do well, not only will you have to pay for it yourself, but you won't be able to think about any additional dividends in the future."
Chu Lingyun threatened again. Dividends are Smith's lifeblood, but he is afraid of the poor life he had before.
After finally becoming rich again, he would never want to go back to the past.
At this time, no matter how stupid Smith is, he understands that he has messed up the matter. Chu Lingyun is not willing to give his parents so much money to run a school. As for why, he still doesn't understand.
"Okay, I'll go talk."
Smith didn't dare to argue. After all, Chu Lingyun was the big boss.
Although he registered the company, Liu Chengzhu found a barrister in the United States and set many rules for him when the company was founded. Chu Lingyun could take the company away at any time.
He didn't dare to offend Chu Lingyun, otherwise he would lose everything.
In fact, Chu Lingyun really has the idea of kicking him out. Although it can be done, it is very troublesome. Moreover, if he kicks out Smith, he will not be able to be the boss of the company by himself and must find another American agent.
Smith still has certain abilities. Let him return to the United States. After he returns, no one will know where his parents are.
Fortunately, this time Smith brought those foreign bodyguards, paid more money for these foreign devils, and sent them to the United States together.
As for this kind of foreign employees, there are as many as he wants, but in the public concession, as long as he puts the word out, a large number of people will come looking for jobs.
"Mr. Allen, you are here, Ling Yun, have you arrived in Chongqing?"
Chu Yuanchen is in the office. With Smith's promise, he is very happy and is making plans to recruit students on a large scale.
They are a welfare school that provides food for free and can recruit many students.
If you are really poor and have no other choice, who wouldn’t want your children to go to school? Ordinary people all know that the only way to get high is through education.
How many students can 20,000 US dollars help? Chu Yuanchen is very motivated these days.
He was making plans when Smith came in. Soon he saw his son behind him and was even more surprised.
"Dad, where is my mother?"
Chu Lingyun glanced at the office and casually asked something that almost all children have asked.
"Your mother is in class. Are you finished with things in Chengdu?"
Chu Yuanchen was even more happy to see his son again. His son was their lucky star. It was his son who got to know Smith, a kind man, that led to the establishment of this school.
Thinking of being able to help more students in the future, Chu Yuanchen was very satisfied and felt that his life was very meaningful.
"We're done." Chu Lingyun finished speaking and looked at Smith.
Smith immediately went over and said seriously: "Mr. Chu, I am leaving today. There is something I need to explain before I leave."
According to Chu Lingyun's request, Smith put forward the conditions for this donation.
Twenty thousand US dollars is the funding for three years of running the school, and the site must be re-selected to build a new campus. The new school is defined as a dedicated girls' school.
This reason is easy to explain. At present, more than 99% of the students in the school are boys, and there are very few girls.
This is mainly caused by the preference for boys over girls in rural areas. Girls from poor families rarely go to school and start helping the family at an early age, waiting to get married.
Smith hated this phenomenon so much that he wanted to establish a special school for girls.
Girls' schools are not limited to middle school students, but are also open to primary school students. All girls' schools are for girls, so parents can feel free to send their children here. When the time comes, Chu Lingyun's mother will be the principal of the girls' school, and each parent will be responsible for a school.
Chu Yuanchen's eyes widened, he didn't expect Smith to have such a request.
With the experience of Smith's request last time, he was not too surprised, but it is not easy to recruit female students in rural areas. Even if it is free, many parents are not willing to send their girls to school.
"Dad, you also know that foreign countries pay attention to this and believe that women and men are equal, so Smith was very dissatisfied when he saw that there were only male students in the school."
Chu Lingyun helped explain that Chu Yuanchen was an intellectual after all and could understand.
"I understand, but Mr. Allen doesn't know our national conditions. If we only recruit girls, let alone two hundred, twenty would be good."
Chu Yuanchen was in a dilemma. He was happy to establish the same girls' school. He had the same attitude towards his son and daughter, and he established a girls' school so that his daughter could study there.
The key problem is that ordinary people will not understand it, and it will be very difficult to recruit students.
"Dad, don't worry about this. I'll talk to Smith."
Chu Lingyun took Smith out and gave him a few words of advice, and the two came back soon.
"Don't worry about recruiting students. I will add another two thousand US dollars for scholarships every year. As long as students meet the standards, they can receive two legal currency rewards every month."
Smith followed Chu Lingyun's request and told him how to solve the problem.
Two yuan a month is not much, but it is definitely a lot for rural areas. These girls cannot generate an income of two yuan a month. If they can still make money by going to school, many parents will compete to send their children to school.
Even if 200 students receive full scholarships, it will only cost 400 French currency per month, which is 4,800 French currency per year.
According to the current exchange rate, it is less than two thousand US dollars.
Chu Yuanchen was startled, and his expression instantly turned into surprise. "Really, thank you so much, Mr. Allen. If I get more scholarships like this, I am confident that I can recruit enough students."
