Mixed in 1980

Chapter 222 Jinhua and Brother Apeng
Give up the construction? The benefits here are huge.

Hu Yingxiang was very surprised. Chen Fan had a real estate company in Hong Kong and had acquired more than a dozen pieces of land. He was planning to develop them on a large scale. How could he give up the construction?
Little did they know that it was purely because no one was making a fuss.

Xinghuo Real Estate Company is more like a shell company with only a few big and small ones. In the short term, Chen Fan has no intention of recruiting anyone.

Chen Fan gave up this part of the profit, and Hu Yingxiang had no reason to refuse: "Then find a time to go out and investigate, finalize the project, and then we can discuss it in detail."

"Mr. Hu, what time is convenient for you?" Sun Shaojie was secretly happy as he had another extra foreign exchange.

Hu Yingxiang said, "I don't have any other plans recently. How about Mr. Chen?"

"Assistant Zhou will fully represent me."

"You're not going?" Hu Yingxiang was surprised. For such a big project, letting an assistant be the representative was something that most people would not do.

“He has other projects.”

Li Hongying smiled and explained, "This guy invested 2000 million US dollars to set up a charity fund to build primary and secondary schools and provide financial aid. The project is being implemented."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yingxiang couldn't help but stand in awe!
Being able to donate real money to charity is better than many people. Hu Yingxiang believes that his understanding of him may be too one-sided, at least he does not have the courage to do so at the moment.

After talking about infrastructure projects for a while, Sun Shaojie began to introduce the polyethylene project.

Hu Yinglian was not interested in this as he had never participated in investment in heavy industrial projects before. Li Hongying was very interested and said that she would participate in the inspection and invest if the project was suitable.

Sun Shaojie was very happy as he had another investment.

This time, Chen Fan did give a big gift. As for how much investment can be negotiated in the end, it depends on Sun Shaojie's own ability.

The last thing we talked about was the shipbuilding project.

Neither Li Hongying nor Hu Yingxiang were interested in this. The shipbuilding industries of the United States and Britain were in decline, while Japan and South Korea were rising rapidly, making it difficult to compete.

Especially when Sun Shaojie proposed to establish a joint venture with Jiangyin Shipbuilding and Repairing Cooperative, the two almost complained, "Cooperative? What the hell?"

When Chen Fan heard the name, he almost laughed out loud.

The Jiangyin Shipbuilding and Repairing Cooperative is not well-known now. It is just an enterprise under the Jiangyin Transportation Machinery Factory. It did not start producing seagoing ships until 75. It is inconspicuous.

But in later generations, it changed its name to Yangtze River Shipbuilding, which is a very famous shipbuilding company ranked among the best in the world.

How can you not invest in such a project?
As for how to invest specifically, we still need to investigate first and then negotiate. Today we are just confirming the intention. After it is confirmed, we will switch to a drinking party to entertain the guests.

After having a good meal and drinking, and settling the guests, Sun Shaojie went back with a big smile on his face. The investment plans one, two, and five that Chen Fan had promised remained unchanged, and there were two more investments. This was a great joyous event.

I went back to the unit to report to my leader first, and then mentioned it to my grandfather when I got home in the evening. I also told him something and asked him to help arrange a blind date.

The old man also had this idea. He couldn't let his grandson stay single forever, could he? If one marriage failed, another would happen. That's not a big deal. Only those who can't get over it are fools.

But when the old man heard his grandson say that he only wanted a 20-year-old, he immediately became furious: "Look in the mirror and see what you look like. You want a 20-year-old? Are you worthy?"

Sun Shaojie doesn't care, he only wants those who are twenty years old.

If his family cannot arrange it, he can find one himself. Just don't try to stop him. He's getting married for the second time, so there's no need to try to arrange a marriage.

The old man was angry and finally asked, "You have to give me a reason, right?"

Sun Shaojie was unhappy but refused to say anything.

I can't tell the old man that I'm fighting with Chen Fan, right? That bastard married three wives and made fun of me for being single, so he wanted to find a younger one so that he could get back at me.

Sun Shaojie has already decided that a second marriage is not suitable for a big banquet, but Chen Fan must invite guests, so he will tell him: "My wife is younger than all three of your wives!"

After a day, Sun Shaojie was busy with the connection again.

Chen Fan has already chartered a plane and is flying directly to Yunnan with a large group of people. The foundation has also made arrangements for staff here.

We stayed at Cuihu Hotel in Yunkun on the first day.

This is the first foreign-related hotel in Yunnan and Yunnan. It was built in the mid-16s and has 160 floors, 2 rooms, 10 restaurants and conference rooms.

Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu were going to Dali the next day. In addition, there were Xu Jinchao, Xu Jinxia and Zhao Pengyu. The three of them were going to contract a school project. Taking them there to get acquainted with them would make it easier to handle things later and avoid being harassed. As for the others, they had to play in Yunkun for a few days first.

The first stop tomorrow will be Dianchi Lake. In 1980, Chen Fan said that he would take his father-in-law to fish in China. They brought fishing gear with them on this trip.

In addition, routes were arranged to the Golden Temple, Daguan Park, Stone Forest, etc., which were enough for them to play for a few days before meeting up in Dali.

The foundation has arranged a bus and bodyguards to accompany you, so you don't have to worry about your safety.

Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu did not waste time and set off by car early the next morning. It was already evening when they arrived in Dali. Fortunately, they had an official reception, which saved them a lot of trouble.

After all, they came with money to build the school.

The project management department has already compiled the data on how many primary schools, middle schools and high schools to build here, and every aspect is very detailed.

Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu came here to verify.

After all, this is the first investment of the Xu Jinqiu Charity Foundation, so all aspects of the situation must be understood clearly, and finally a charter and rules must be established so that we can proceed step by step.

We must also be on guard against those below us secretly colluding with others.

However, holding the data survey report here, Xu Jinqiu felt a little heavy. The infrastructure is too poor and the education gap is very large.

Lack of schools, teachers, and tuition fees...

In Yunnan, the school attendance rate among those born in the 1970s and 1980s is extremely low, mainly because the economy was poor during that period, and there are too many mountains, making transportation extremely inconvenient.

The movie "Walking to School" in later generations well explains the inconvenience here. It tells the story of the brother and sister Wawa and Naxiang who live by the Nujiang River. In order to go to school on the other side of the river, they have to cross the river on a zipline every day...

Chen Fan had not watched the entire film, but he had watched many clips on short video. The scene that he remembered most was the scene where the little girl Naxiang accidentally fell into the river from the zipline while crossing the river.

Chen Fan had no choice but to do whatever he could in this environment. He could only do things within his capabilities. Many things could only be solved after he became wealthy.

"Chen Fan, add a few more schools here!"

Xu Jinqiu held the report document and pointed to Shangguan Town. The plan was to build only two primary schools here. After all, this place was located in the suburbs and the conditions were acceptable.

But for Xu Jinqiu, this place is different. It was the place where she went to work in the countryside, and there is an indelible memory there.

Last year, Chen Fan brought Xu Jinqiu and Zhao Yuanyuan here to play and participate in the festival celebrations. They had a great time.

The names here are very interesting. The girl is called Jinhua and the boy is called Apengge. This name comes from the movie "Five Golden Flowers" and is widely quoted.

Chen Fan naturally would not reject Xu Jinqiu's idea. It was the same as returning home in glory. Now that he came here to build a school, he would definitely receive preferential treatment in the place where he had feelings.

After staying in the guesthouse for one night, the two drove to Shangguan Town. Without stopping in the town, they went straight to Jiangwei Village, the village where Xu Jinqiu had once worked as a sent-down youth.

"Golden Flower is back!"

The car stopped at the entrance of the village. As soon as Xu Jinqiu got out of the car, someone familiar came up to greet her. It was this address that made Chen Fan feel particularly amused.

Jinhua, what a beauty!

Jinhua in the movie and Ashima are played by the same actress, who was Chen Fan’s childhood goddess. For a long time, he wanted to find a wife like Ashima.

"Xiao Ahua, don't run, come here!"

Xu Jinqiu saw a girl with two ponytails and waved to her quickly. However, when the girl saw her, she ran away as if she had seen a ghost.

"Xiao Ahua, stop right there!"

Xu Jinqiu snorted and ran after him, "Little girl, I held you in my arms a lot when you were little, but now you don’t recognize me. You’re such an ungrateful person."

Chen Fan covered his face, look how scared he was.

The last time I came here, I went to Xiao Ahua's house. Xiao Ahua told Chen Fan many times how Xu Jinqiu played pranks on her and once even hung her on a tree for more than half an hour.

Little Ahua expressed deep sympathy for Chen Fan, the "Brother Apeng". In her childish eyes, she always felt that Chen Fan was the most pitiful Brother Apeng in the world.

PS: The second update is here, there will be another one later!
