Chapter 226 Yang Ming Gave the Country a Great Gift!

Yang Ming knew.

After arriving in Yanjing for more than half a month, the old gentleman formally invited him to return to his hometown at the right time. Then Yang Ming's trip back to Yanjing was almost over.

This first time I stepped into Yanjing, it was my initial contact with China.

For Yang Ming, this harvest is still very big.

Before Yang Ming left, he decided to give the country a big gift.

"Old sir, this time I was invited back to attend the National Day ceremony, and the gifts from me and the Imperial Group have not yet been given."

"Mr. Yang, what kind of gift do you want to give?"

From the old man's point of view, Yang Ming and others would be very happy to be able to come back to the country for a visit.

Yang Ming said: "Mr., science and technology are the primary productive forces. It is the high-level talents from the country that support the technological development of a country. Whether now or in the future in the 21st century, talents are the most important."

Science and technology are primary productive forces?

Talent is the most important thing in the 21st century.

After hearing this, the old gentleman was really surprised.

Especially the first sentence.

It was as if he pointed the way.

"Mr. Yang, did you think of this?"

"No, it was once proposed by a person who I admire very much."

Yang Ming knew.

That person is the old gentleman.

It's just that the old gentleman hasn't brought it up yet.

Theories like these are theories that have been verified through practice.

That's what the old gentleman in history was like.

"Any country cannot develop further without the support of talents and technology. This is the case with Soviet Union, and the same is true with Europe and the United States."

The old gentleman nodded.

"So, I'm going to give a gift to the country."

"Mr. Yang, tell me."

"I plan to use the Yang Ming Foundation to donate HK$100 million every year as a national student aid fund."

100 million Hong Kong dollars?

Now, it is really valuable.

Even based on the current domestic exchange rate, that is equivalent to 20 million RMB.

In fact, the purchasing power of 100 million Hong Kong dollars now far exceeds the purchasing power of 20 million RMB.

The old gentleman was a little shocked after hearing this.

Because Mr. Yang said he would donate HK$100 million every year, not just once.

This is definitely a lot of money.

"Mr. Yang, I would like to thank you on behalf of the country."

What a gift.

Nowadays, the country is short of money in all aspects. Even the domestic foreign exchange is only 168 million US dollars. In addition, now that the country has begun to open up again, money really needs to be used everywhere.

Obviously, education is also a big part.

Even if the country wants to develop vigorously, it will be unable to do so without financial support.

In 1977, the old man was in charge of culture and education and presided over the resumption of the college entrance examination.

On October 21, 1977, major domestic media announced the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and revealed that this year's college entrance examination will be held nationwide one month later.

In the winter of 1977, 5.7 million domestic candidates entered the college entrance examination room that had been closed for more than ten years.

That year, 273,000 freshmen were admitted to colleges and universities across the country.

From July 20 to July 22, 1978, 6.1 million people across the country applied for the exam and 402,000 were admitted.

Students in Grade 7 and Grade 7 were admitted in the spring of 1978, and students in Grade 7 and Grade 8 were admitted in the fall. The two admissions were only half a year apart.

In the winter of 1977 and the summer of 1978, China ushered in the largest examination in world history, with a total number of applicants reaching 11.6 million.

Even then, the admission rate for domestic college entrance examinations is still very low.

Cause this.

There are various reasons.

However, the existence of the college entrance examination itself is the fairest way to select talents for the country and all walks of life.

The fact that the old man was able to realize it very early shows that his overall view is indeed different.

In Yang Ming's view, not only is there a serious lack of education funding in the country, but most ordinary people, like those students from rural areas, have very poor family conditions.

Even if some people are admitted to college under such a very low admission rate, they still cannot go to college. It is precisely because of their poor family background that they have no choice but to give up.

Now Yang Ming has proposed to donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars every year to help these students from poor families.

According to the current domestic situation.

For a college student, including tuition and living expenses, 100 yuan is enough.

One hundred million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 20 million RMB.

Then this money can help 200,000 poor college students.

It is not true that so many college students need to use these national scholarship funds.

Money like this can also be invested in other industries such as education.

In other words, this money is indeed a great gift, and it is also very important to the country.

The old gentleman is still a little excited now.

"Mr. Yang, this time I just want to invite you to come back and see the situation in the country. When the time is right, you can invest in the country. You actually gave me such a big gift."

It is hard for the old man to imagine that anyone could spend such a huge sum of money like Mr. Yang did?

Mr. Yang did it.

"Old sir, talents are really important. Over the past hundred years, our country has been lagging behind the West. It is precisely in this area that we have suffered. Only the cultivation of high-level talents can promote domestic technological development. Only domestic technological development can make people The country becomes rich.”

Yang Ming and the old gentleman chatted there for another half hour.

The time has come to 1:45 in the morning.

Yang Ming went out in a wheelchair.

The old man personally sent him to the door, and only when Mr. Shen pushed Yang Ming away did he retract his gaze.

These days of getting along with Mr. Yang made the old man more aware that Mr. Yang was not only a big capitalist in Hong Kong, but also had far more knowledge than many people.

With Mr. Yang's help, the old man knew that it seemed much easier for him to do things.

Under normal circumstances, the old man would not want to accept Mr. Yang's gift this time.

However, Mr. Yang said that he was giving it to students studying in China so that they could successfully graduate from college. In addition to changing the fate of himself and his family, their existence would gradually change the development and fate of China.

Yang Ming considered such a sum of money for the country.

In other words, it was really difficult for the old man to refuse this money.

That night.

The old man picked up the landline phone in the office and notified several people, including Rong Lao and others to come over.

These people followed the old man's footsteps closely.

Seeing that the old man had not rested so late and suddenly called them over, they thought something had happened.

"Mr. Yang just gave the country a big gift."

Give the country a big gift?

Could it be that Mr. Yang is going to invest in China?

"Old man, is Mr. Yang going to invest in China?" asked Mr. Rong.

"No, Mr. Yang uses his fund to donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars to China every year as a national student aid fund to help college students in need complete their studies."

Donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars every year?

This is really a big deal!

Mr. Rong and others were very surprised by Mr. Yang's generosity.

They originally thought that Mr. Yang, as the richest tycoon in Hong Kong, could take the lead in returning to China to invest, which was already very good. Now without any request, he directly donates 100 million Hong Kong dollars every year.

This is not one year, but every year.

If it is thirty years.

In thirty years, that would be three billion Hong Kong dollars!
