Reborn IT Giant

After dinner, Village Chief Xu and the two left.

"Zheng Yan, when the wild fungi are harvested, you can't eat them all. You must share half of them with me."

If Zheng Yan hadn't suddenly intervened, Zheng Rong would have collected some game and brought it back to the port city when he left. Looking at it now, it's hard to say whether he could get half of it.

"Okay, look at your worthless look. Are you still afraid that you won't have anything to eat here? I'll send some to Mr. Zheng then."

"Let's not talk about this for now. I have a new idea today. Second brother, you asked us to invest here, isn't it just to help the local villagers increase their income? However, the number of people we can hire in this factory is limited after all. I think

Those wild mushrooms we ate today were a good idea."

"I have thought about what you are talking about, but didn't I just say that the production is too small. Every year, almost none of the precious wild fungi in the mountains survive, and they are all picked by the villagers, but the total is not much.

"

Nowadays, few people are aware of the concept of artificial cultivation. Even the vegetable greenhouses of later generations are not yet known whether they have been introduced into the country. The vegetable eaten in the north in winter is radish and cabbage.

Although Zhao Weimin is a senior intellectual, he studied computers after all and does not know much about agriculture.

"What I mean is artificial cultivation. Of course, I also know that if this work relies only on villagers, it will definitely not be completed. This is what I think. The charity fund will pay for it and find the Agricultural University to carry out the cultivation work. When the time comes, we will promote

Cultivation methods.”

After Zheng Yan talked about it, Zhao Weimin also thought it was feasible. Before that, Zhao Weimin only thought about how to turn existing things into money for the villagers, but never thought about increasing the existing things.

"Okay, I will contact you as soon as possible. Let's do this for today, and you can go to bed early."

Although Zheng Yan took a nap in the afternoon, compared with the fatigue caused by the rush, it only played a role in relieving him. Now that he has eaten and drank enough, he is a little sleepy again.

Without the hustle and bustle of the city, the tranquility of the mountain village allowed Zheng Yan to have a good sleep. The next morning, after Zheng Yan got up, he looked at the mountain forest covered with a layer of mist, took a breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Cool.

"Brother Zhen, let's go out and walk around."

Since Zheng Yan dropped out of school, he has become a lot more lazy.

It's rare that I feel in the mood for a walk today.

The factory was built at the foot of a mountain. After leaving the factory gate, a small road led directly to the top of the mountain. Zheng Yan and Wang Zhen went straight up the mountain without saying hello to anyone else.

It was still a bit cold in the mountainous area in the early morning, but after the two of them walked for more than ten minutes, they gradually felt warmer.

Zheng Yan, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly saw a scene that made him sad.

I saw a little girl about ten years old, wearing shabby clothes, carrying a backpack about the same height as her, filled with grass, and was slowly going down the mountain.

"Kid, what are you doing with so much grass? Don't you have to go to school today?"

After the little girl saw Zheng Yan and the two of them, she was obviously frightened, her eyes were wary, and her body involuntarily took two steps back.

"Don't be afraid, kids. My brother is not a bad person. He works in the factory below."

In Zheng Yan's opinion, the entire mineral water company is a completely inconspicuous small business, but in several surrounding villages, it has become a well-known charity enterprise.

When the little girl heard that Zheng Yan was working in the factory, she became obviously less wary.

"I...I cut the grass to feed...the pigs."

"Then you don't go to school?"

As far as Zheng Yan knows, the school donated and built nearby has been partially put into use.

"No... I don't want to go to school. My father said that the family has no money and my younger brother will have to go to school in the future. But I heard from my father that he will also work in the factory down the mountain in the future. As long as my father makes money, I can go to school."

When the little girl talked about going to school, she was no longer nervous, but her eyes were full of longing. But it was this clean look that deeply hurt Zheng Yan.

"Kid, what do you usually do when you don't go to school?"

"I help with the household chores and take care of my younger brother so that my father can make money."

When Zheng Yan was growing up, no matter whether her parents worked in factories or later went into business, her family conditions were pretty good and she never suffered much. Regarding poverty-stricken areas, she only occasionally learned about the situation through TV and never experienced it personally.

But now, looking at the little girl in front of me, I can't help but feel a little sad.

"Kid, do you want to go to school?"

"I...have no money at home."

When the little girl said this, she kept her head lowered and her hands kept pinching the corners of her clothes. Although she did not directly answer Zheng Yan's question, she had already expressed her meaning.

Zheng Yan now lost interest in continuing to climb the mountain.

"Kid, let me hold the backpack for you. My brother is about to go down the mountain."

"No... no need, I... I can carry it."

When Zheng Yan was about to pick up the backpack, the little girl was a little stubborn and took a few steps back.

In the end, Zheng Yan took the basket off the little girl's back and Wang Zhen carried it. Zheng Yan went down the mountain while chatting with the little girl.

"Thank you, brother. Goodbye, brother."

It wasn't until she reached the gate of the factory that the little girl said goodbye to Zheng Yan, then put her basket on her back and walked toward the village with staggering steps.

"What's wrong? You're so unhappy so early in the morning?"

Zheng Yan entered the factory area and happened to meet Zhao Weimin.

"Second brother, today I suddenly understand why you can persevere in such a difficult environment. I think if it were me, I wouldn't want to leave."

Zheng Yan told Zhao Weimin what he had just experienced, and then Zhao Weimin realized that his feelings were stimulated.

Zhao Weimin thought about his experience during this period and realized that it was not because of the stimulation again and again that he persisted.

"Second brother, maybe our previous donation model was unreasonable. No matter how well we build the school, if the children don't even have the opportunity to enter the school, what's the use of it all?"

"I think we should change it and change the direction of donations. Charitable funds are mainly used to help students go to school, rather than blindly building schools. Of course, the teaching environment is also important, but it is not the most important."

As for the problems Zheng Yan mentioned, Zhao Weimin is actually already aware of it. Since the last time the funds were received, he has been making changes.

"In addition to this recruitment in the factory, as long as there are school-age children in the family who are not in school, they will not be hired. For some families with difficulties, the company can advance the cost of their children's schooling."

It's not like Zheng Yan has never thought about it. The company would directly bear the cost of schooling, but it couldn't be responsible for everything. If he didn't worry about the shortage and the inequality, it would be better to pay it in advance.
