Chapter 676 677 [withdrawing villages and building towns]

  Subsequently, Xiang Nan officially announced the establishment of the Splash Scholarship Fund, donating 300,000 RMB per year to reward students with excellent character and learning and students from poor families.

  As soon as the news came out, it not only caused a sensation in Yuquanying, but also paid attention to it in the county and city.

  In 2000, 300,000 RMB, although not a huge amount of money, but it is not a lot. Especially if this is a privately sponsored student fund, it is even more worthy of encouragement and support.

  So the county, city, and even the province came to report the news. Xiang Nan didn't hesitate to show off the limelight again, and directly gave the opportunity to Mr. Bai.

   "The purpose of the establishment of the Splash Scholarship Fund is to boost the desire of students and parents to learn. Only learning, only reading, is the way to change your destiny.

  U hopes that all students can become talents and go out to get a better future. "Facing the reporter's interview, Teacher Bai spoke impassionedly and eloquently.

  After the establishment of this bursary, the effect is really good. Several students who study well have returned to school. Several students who dropped out of school due to family poverty also returned to school after receiving help.

  When parents see excellent studies and can get rich rewards, they used to hold a sheep-herding attitude towards their children's studies and were indifferent, but now they are all starting to be chicken babies.

  The atmosphere of Yuquanying Primary School has changed a lot in a short period of time, and Teacher Bai can't help but sigh that money plays a big role.

  …

  Xiang Nan then reported to the city and the province that children drop out of school prematurely to work, and the nine-year compulsory education is useless, and asked the superiors to pay attention to it.

  Because Xiang Nan is not only a well-known writer in the country, but also a top-ranking private entrepreneur in Xia Xia, his opinion should naturally be taken seriously.

   Otherwise, writing an article later will make them very passive.

   Therefore, after discussions in the province and the city, an urgent notice was issued, strictly prohibiting students in school, regardless of whether they are sixteen years old or not, from dropping out of school to work. Offenders will not only be punished by the parents of the students, but also by the enterprises that accommodate the students to work.

   In this way, the gap is blocked. No matter how those parents want their children to drop out of school to work, and those bosses want to use child labor, it will not work.

   Teacher Bai was very happy to see this urgent notice.

   "Yong Fu'er, thanks to you. It wasn't for your appeal, this notice would not have been issued in such a timely manner." He said gratefully.

  He also went to the county to report the situation, but his words were light and no one listened to him. Unlike Xiang Nan, it had an effect as soon as he spoke.

   "Mr. Bai, you don't need to thank me. I, like you, wish the children well." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you need anything from now on, just ask me."

   "Okay, okay." Teacher Bai nodded.

  …

  In 2001, Xiang Nan moved out his household registration and settled in Yanjing City.

  For ordinary people, it is very difficult to settle in Yanjing.

  However, Xiang Nan is not an ordinary person. His accumulated net worth exceeds 3 billion, and he is even a well-known writer. It is really not easy to get a registered permanent residence.

  But although the household registration was moved out, Xiang Nan did not move to Yanjing immediately.

   First of all, the weather in Yanjing is not good now, with smog all year round. In comparison, the greenery in Yuquanying is very good, with fruity aromas everywhere, and there has been no sandstorm for several years.

  Secondly, Xiaoyan is still young, she is only one year old this year, and she is not in a hurry to go to school. In fact, Xiang Nan didn't want to be a tiger dad either. He didn't expect his daughter to be very promising, it was enough for her to be happy and happy.

  So he plans to move there with his children in a few more years.

  …

   In 2001, the Internet bubble, Xiang Nan did not miss the opportunity and invested in the Internet industry in the Mainland again.

  Souar, Netease, Baidu, Ali, Tencent, Kingsoft...many Internet companies have accepted his investment.

  In addition, Xiang Nan also donated computers worth 2 million yuan to Yuquanying Primary School, Minning Middle School, Ning'an Middle School and other schools at his own expense, so that students can access computers and learn the latest knowledge.

  Xiang Nan didn't touch a computer before he was admitted to university, he just saw it on TV, so he was very ignorant, and he couldn't even turn it on and off.

  So, he wants to help the children make up for this shortcoming, and let them see the latest technology, so that they won't be as ugly as he is.

  …

   In 2002, China officially joined the WTO, which is of great significance.

  First, the business is better. Foreign goods come in and mainland goods go out, making transactions more convenient and quicker.

  Second, investment is more active. A large amount of foreign capital has poured into the mainland, not only investing in coastal cities, but even Xiaxia is favored.

  Xiang Nan knows that entering the customs is no less than adding wings to a tiger for China.

   It was through customs entry that China was able to become the world's factory, completing capital accumulation, technological upgrading and conceptual transformation.

  In 2001, the national foreign exchange reserves were 210 billion U.S. dollars. Ten years later, the national foreign exchange reserves were 31,811 U.S. dollars, a 15-fold increase.

  Xiang Nan also knows that the Chinese economy is about to enter the fast lane.

   Therefore, he once again expanded the winery, fruit vinegar factory, feed factory, canning factory, livestock farm, greenhouse planting, etc., bringing the industry under his banner to a new scale.

   Year 2002 was also an important year for Minning.

  In this year, Minning Village was withdrawn to build a town, upgraded to Minning Town, and took over the former Yuquanying Economic Development Zone.

  After withdrawing the village and building the town, the development of Minning Town opened a new chapter.

  A large number of infrastructure projects have been launched, and construction sites and tower cranes can be seen everywhere, and the work is in full swing.

  Everyone has a smile on their faces, full of expectations for the future.

  Ann & Young Shou and Ernst & Young Kang took the opportunity to undertake many projects.

  The two of them have done a good job in the past two years, and they recruited a construction team to undertake the project.

  Because of Xiang Nan's face, he doesn't worry about lack of work. And the two of them are also considered to be up to date, they didn't steal or play tricks, and they were shoddy, so their development has been getting better and better in the past two years.

  Now Shoukang Construction Company is a well-known local enterprise. The strength is still very strong, and I plan to enter the real estate industry recently.

  Xiang Nan felt happy for the two of them for reforming themselves, and now they are doing well.

  As for the development of real estate, he also supports it. However, I still remind the two brothers that developing real estate is not as risky as building a construction company.

   After all, the initial investment is not small, and it is not uncommon for one mistake to lose all.

  The next few years will indeed be a prosperous period for mainland real estate, but there are also many real estate companies that have closed down.

  …

  After Minning withdrew the village and established a town, Ma Defu was also promoted to deputy mayor.

  He is just thirty years old, and with such achievements, it can be said that his future is limitless.

   Because of this, he was chosen by Secretary Gao of Qingtongxia City next door and accepted him as his son-in-law.

  The two officially got married at the end of 2002.

   On the day of their marriage, Xiang Nandu brought Shuihua and Xiaoyan to the wedding ceremony to send blessings to Defu.
