Huang Guozhu finally did it, and the success of the matter exceeded everyone's imagination.
The first is fund-raising. At the beginning, everyone including Huang Guozhu believed that even if the fund-raising could be completed, it would take some time. After all, ordinary people did not have much money on hand, and even if the interest rate was much higher than that of banks, they might not be willing to take out the money.
However, the fund-raising was completed not long after it started. A total of more than 20 people participated, and all the teachers from Huangcao Village Primary School, including Huang Guozhu, participated.
Although the school teachers are not rich, they are considered to be high-income people compared to other villagers, so they were able to spend money. Huang Guozhu raised 500 yuan by himself, and several other teachers had 200 to 300 yuan.
In total, we collected about 1,000 yuan, and the entire project required 6,500 yuan, which solved a quarter of the problem.
Yu Hua and Wang Xiaobo also invested five hundred yuan each and settled for another one thousand yuan.
Less than 4,000 yuan was left, which was settled by more than a dozen other families. Even after the 6,500 yuan fund-raising was completed, there were still people who wanted to invest in it.
The reason why the villagers are willing to invest money in it is that they can get a large pot of dishwashing liquid after investing the money. In order to get the dishwashing liquid, some families invest together. After all, only one thousand can be purchased.
Jing, on the other hand, the interest rate is indeed quite good, much higher than that of their deposit bank, but the most important thing is that the school has enough credibility with them, and they don't worry about not getting their money back.
Although Huang Guozhu didn't seem to be too focused on school teaching in the past and was a bit unreliable, he still had prestige in the village. He liked making money and often helped the villagers make money.
For example, Wang Xiaobo and the others rented the house they are living in now because Huang Guozhu sought benefits for the villagers. People were naturally grateful to him. For this fund-raising, the landlord directly took out all the original 350 yuan in rent and paid additional fees.
I added one hundred and fifty to get five hundred yuan.
In addition, the school has undergone great changes recently, and the villagers have noticed it. A thriving school is naturally more worthy of their investment.
After the fund-raising was completed, Huang Guozhu began to plan the construction of the project. He first contacted the nearby kiln factory to finalize the bricks, and then contacted the precast factory to buy cement sand. After the materials were finalized, he contacted people to do it. They wanted
Build the wall before it gets really cold.
A week later, when Yu Dong left Huangcao Village again, the construction had already begun. Huang Guozhu told him that the wall should be completed when he came over next week.

"Selena, look what I found!"
In London, at Serena's house, Linda suddenly shouted in front of the computer.
Serena, who was reading a book, looked up and looked this way without moving her butt, "What did you find? I'm so excited. Is it because Jay Chou is coming to London to hold a concert again? Or is Depp coming to London to promote a movie?"
"No, come and have a look." Linda waved to Serena, "You will know after you see it."
Serena pouted, put down the book in her hand, and then stood up, "I'm telling you, if it's not a really good thing, I will definitely pinch your arm."
Linda said very confidently, "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to pinch my arm."
"It better be."
While speaking, Serena had already walked to the computer. She leaned over to look at the computer screen. On it was an announcement from the Deep Space Tribe. She slowly read out the title of the announcement.
"The Deep Space New Year Concert will be held on January 19, 2003..."
Before she finished reading the title, Serena started to look behind her.
She initially thought that the Deep Space New Year's Concert would be held in the park like previous years, but what she didn't expect was that this year it would be held in a stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
This announcement also announced the list of performers that night, including Mariah Carey, Sting, Jay Chou, Britney Spears...
The list was very long, and Serena felt dizzy before she even saw half of it. She felt dizzy from happiness.
She felt so happy because she and Linda had already booked a flight to China.
None of them had ever been to Jinling to watch the Deep Space Annual Conference before. After returning from the United States this year, Linda shouted to go. It happened that a Chinese student they knew was going home for the New Year, so they discussed it and prepared to meet the Chinese student.
Go home together, so they can save a translator and a tour guide.
"Linda, we can go to the concert."
Seeing Serena's excited look, Linda smiled and said, "Won't you pinch my arm?"
"No more pinching, no more pinching, hahaha, this is my week... No, this is the best news I have heard in the past few months." Serena rubbed her hands in excitement, she even started to imagine
I listened to Jay Chou and Shakira singing at the concert.
Linda suddenly cooled her down, "Don't think we can see the concert if it's going to be held. Do we have tickets for the concert?"
"Then hurry up and buy it. Can we buy it here?"
"I saw it and I can buy it. Tickets will be released the day after tomorrow. There will be two releases in total, and another one a week later. People in New York and Los Angeles can go to designated places to buy tickets on-site, while people from other places can only buy tickets online at the ticket office.
Buy tickets.”
"How much is the ticket?" Serena asked.
"The ticket price is very cheap. The most expensive infield ticket is only US$199, and the cheapest grandstand ticket is only US$49. I hope to grab the infield ticket directly."
Serena nodded. The ticket price is indeed a charity level, because the weight of the guests performing on the spot is too heavy. Except for the Deep Space Company's annual meeting concert, I am afraid there will be no other concert where you can see such a performance.
It's such a big celebrity and yet it has such a low ticket price.
For them, the round-trip air tickets have already been issued, and the concert tickets costing several hundred dollars are really not a pain in the ass.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, there is a disadvantage of low ticket prices, that is, there will definitely be more people buying tickets, and they may not be able to grab tickets when the time comes.
Tens of thousands of tickets may seem like a lot, but as long as there are enough people grabbing tickets, the probability of getting them is infinitesimally small.
Serena pondered for a while and said, "At that time, we can mobilize our friends to help us get tickets. The two of us alone may not be able to get tickets. There are also those Chinese students who can help us. After all, there will be a concert
It’s in China, so it might be easier to grab tickets in China.”
"That's no problem. I'll tell them later. I think they will definitely help." Linda said.
…
As soon as the Deep Space Concert was announced, it sparked intense discussions on the Internet, and the guest list of the concert was quickly circulated among netizens.
【It finally opened in the gym this year.】
[There is a gymnasium and so on. Isn’t it good in the park? 】
[Although the park is good, it can accommodate too few spectators. The stadium can accommodate tens of thousands of people.]
[The key is that the park does not cost money, but the gymnasium does.]
【Not much money either.】
[I would like to ask, apart from the New Year’s concert that day, are there any other performances in the park? 】
[I looked at the official tribe, and it seems there are still performances, but the scale is a little smaller than in previous years.]
[It’s good if there is a performance, otherwise, people who didn’t buy concert tickets would have suffered a huge loss.]
【Why just hold one show? There should be seven shows in a row so that we can all buy tickets.】
[Even if there are seven concerts in a row, not everyone can buy a ticket, and there are themes every day, so it’s impossible to hold concerts every day.]
[I suggest having two concerts, one is an ordinary concert, and the other is a film and television themed day, dedicated to singing some film and television interludes and the like.]
[I think your proposal is good, and I hope Deep Space Company can adopt it.]
[I originally said I wouldn’t go this year, but when I saw this concert, I was moved again and wanted to buy a plane ticket.]
[Air tickets seem to be hard to sell now. I checked and there are too few flights.]
[When we have enough people, let’s get together and let them work overtime.]
[Is it still too late for me to apply for a visa?]
【No problem at all, just go ahead and do it.】
[What should I pay attention to when going to China? I don’t speak Chinese.]
[If you are a fan of YU, you can contact the YU Umbrella Association. They organize members to go to China every year, and you can follow them.]
[What you said above is correct. I have been there with you. Many people in the association know China very well and can speak Chinese. It is very reassuring to follow them. 】
[Haha, I am a senior member of YU Umbrella here. I have been to China three times with tour groups. Although my Chinese level no longer requires group tours, I am still used to going with tour groups. The atmosphere is better when everyone goes together, and we follow the tour group.
Likewise, it’s cheaper to stay in a hotel or something with a group from the association.】
[Yes, the association cooperates with many Chinese hotels, so we can get cheap prices. 】
[Haha, if you don’t join the association, that’s fine. Just shout on the plane that you are going to the Deep Space Annual Conference, and you will be sure to meet many like-minded people, and just join them then. 】
[Hahaha, I’m afraid everyone in your shift thinks the same way. 】
【You are discussing so happily, as if you have already grabbed the tickets.】
【The matter of grabbing tickets depends on your fate.】
…
"You think, would it be inappropriate if we called Deep Space Company now and asked them for two tickets to the concert?"
Nelson looked at Alex who asked this question, "Maybe they will give us tickets directly without us asking?"
"It's broad daylight and you're starting to dream?"
"What kind of dreaming is this? Since we are invited to come, isn't this the right thing to do? The tickets are not valuable."
"If it's not worth it, you should buy it yourself."
"The key is that I can't buy it. Is there any way to hack into the backend of the ticket office website and get a few tickets?"
Erikson curled his lips: "Be practical."
"The practical thing is, pick up the phone now and ask."
Nelson directly picked up the phone and called the number on the previous invitation, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hi, hello, I'm Nelson from Alienware."
"Hello, sir, may I help you in any way?"
"I would like to ask, do we have tickets for the Deep Space New Year's Concert?"
The other party smiled and said, "Of course, the company has reserved tickets for you two. If you need it, I will lock the tickets for you. When you arrive in Jinling, our colleagues will deliver the tickets to you."
Now that you have it, how many tickets do you need?"
"How many...is more than two okay?"
"Of course. Each of you can bring two family members. If you want to bring family members, you need to inform us in advance. We will help arrange air tickets and accommodation. How many tickets do you need?"
Nelson thought for a while and said, "Then I have to discuss it with my family."
"No problem, just call me and let me know anytime you have discussed it."
Alex listened to the entire call. When the call hung up, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Deep Space Company is really generous. I heard that they invite a lot of guests every time. This is just for the guests."
It costs a lot of money. One person can bring two family members. If our family of three goes there, the round trip expenses, accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses will cost at least 20,000 US dollars."
"Not everyone brings their family members, and many of their guests are from their own countries. Half of the 20,000 U.S. dollars is travel expenses. But this is quite impressive. Their annual meeting does cost a lot.
"Of course, they spend more and earn more, and many people are watching the live broadcast of the New Year in Deep Space," Nelson said.
"Then I'll go back and ask Anne if she wants to go."
"Well, I have to ask that too, Jennifer."
…
Two days later, the tickets for the Deep Space New Year's Concert were officially on sale. However, within one minute, all the tickets were gone. Some netizens' Internet speed was slightly slower. When they clicked on the ticket grabbing page, they found that the above
Shows sold out.
According to official announcements, a total of 10,000 tickets have been released this time, and the number of tickets released at a later time has not yet been determined.
A total of more than 50,000 tickets are open to the public for this concert, but tickets are issued separately in China and other countries.
The purpose of releasing tickets in two times depends on the enthusiasm of European and American audiences to grab tickets. If they are more active in grabbing tickets, Deep Space Company will release more tickets in Europe and the United States. After all, Deep Space Company cannot afford such a good opportunity to earn foreign exchange.
Will let it go.
If more foreign tourists come, you can naturally earn more foreign exchange.
After the results of the first ticket grab came out, Jimmy decided to add more than 20,000 tickets to Europe and the United States, leaving only a total of 20,000 tickets for domestic audiences.
In fact, most of the people grabbing tickets are people who have decided to go to Jinling before, but only a few people just attend the concert. Even if the concert has a strong lineup, the price is too high. After all, the round-trip air ticket costs two thousand US dollars.
, which is ten times the most expensive in-field ticket. It is really not cost-effective to travel to China just to watch the concert.
Chapter completed!
