Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"You are right. We should do what we can. Why don't we start with a certain place first? You can discuss with Xu Damao how much money is needed to build a school, and then calculate how much money is needed to sponsor a student. Then make a plan based on the funds we provide."

"For example, this year we can provide 5 million, excluding staff expenses, to build 10 schools. We can sign contracts with the schools for the number of teachers they need, based on the funding plan we provide each year. A little bit of accumulation will add up to a lot, right? Maybe when we are no longer able to do so, there will be tens of thousands of schools built by us."

Shanhai said, "Brother, our ability is limited. We can mobilize social donations. Can't we build more schools?"

"Shanhai, your idea is good, but I think it's better not to do this. We are a private behavior, not a state organization. It is illegal to raise funds privately. Even if it works, there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles later. We just need to do our best." Zhao Shanhe rejected Zhao Shanhai's idea.

"Indeed, I also think that what Big Brother said is right. This is just our personal behavior. If we appeal to more people, there will indeed be a lot of trouble."

Zhao Shanhe knew it very well. Later, Teacher Han was determined to do good things, but it caused a lot of trouble.

"Since you all agree, let's set up a special agency to be responsible for this matter. We must conduct on-site inspections and do it well."

Zhao Shanhu asked, "Who should we choose as the person in charge? He must be reliable, otherwise the money will be wasted."

Zhao Shanhe said, "What do you think of Daniu? Daniu is a teacher. He is a caring child."

Zhao Shanhu said, "Daniu is fine, but his wife is pregnant, so I'm afraid he won't be able to spare the time in the next two years."

"She's pregnant. It happened at some point. But you and Ansong got married right around the same time. Your grandson is already one year old. It's time for you to have a child. It's not good to be pregnant."

Zhao Shanhu said, "Third Uncle said that yesterday. Didn't you see that Third Uncle was in high spirits and extremely happy yesterday?"

"That Daniel is really not good enough, at least not in the past two years. Do you have any good candidates?"

Shanhai said, "Do you think my brother-in-law can do it?"

"That Lele? The kid who opened the door for us?"

"Yes, he is married with a child now, and is also a supervisor in the company. I will go talk to him."

"Forget it. Your father-in-law was not satisfied with you in the first place. He only has this one son. If you send his son away, you probably won't be able to go to your father-in-law's house in your life."

"And we need to find someone who can endure hardships. We need to go to many places for inspection, and we can't do it without someone who can endure hardships."

"Then forget about my brother-in-law. After what you said, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter my father-in-law's house in the future."

Zhao Shanhu suggested, "What do you think of Liu Guangtian? Liu Guangtian has done a good job over the years, and it's time to give him a mention."

"It's not possible in broad daylight. His father-in-law is old and his son is about to find a wife. I'm afraid he can't go out."

Zhao Shanhu said, "How about Shanbei? Shannan is in charge of his hometown. Shandong and its managers are in charge of logistics. Pull Shanbei out. The children in Shanbei are still in high school and middle school. It will take them several years to get married. My brothers are reliable and can endure hardships."

"When Shanbei's son is getting married, Daniu will probably be free. It would be appropriate for him to take over from his uncle then. What do you think?"

"Shanbei? It's a good fit, and he's been training well over the years. Then you can go back and tell Uncle San. If Uncle San agrees, you can call him back to talk to him. If he doesn't agree, we'll look for someone else. If he doesn't want to, don't force him.

It has not been easy for the three Shandong brothers to be away from home these years. We cannot let the uncle’s family do all the hard work.”

"Okay, I'll go find Uncle San first, and then talk to Shanbei. If Shanbei isn't an option, I think Guangfu can be considered. He's been in the countryside before, and he's done pretty well in the past two years."

"Guangfu is fine, why don't we ask together? If it's feasible, let's do it together. We will recruit some people and form a team. However, if this is hard work, the salary and benefits must be good."

Zhao Shanhu said, "Okay, I'll talk to you later."

"Since it's settled, let's pay. I'll take out 10 million, and you can keep some too. Don't take it all out at once."

Zhao Shanhu said, "I'll take six million."

Zhao Shanhai also said, "My second brother and I have the same shares. If my second brother gets 6 million, then I'll get 6 million too."

"You guys took too much, don't you? Leave more for yourself. I took 10 million because I have more shares and more dividends."

"Brother, don't worry. We know what we are doing. You bought all the cars for our sons, and you also paid for our hometown. We haven't spent much money in these years. We know what we are doing. We have 2-3 million left after paying 6 million."

If they hadn't developed too fast in the past, built too many places, and spent too much money on scientific research, the dividends they would have received would have been more than this. Especially the electronics company, which has a monopoly business, and Huameng Clothing, after several rounds of publicity, is also a leading company in the clothing industry, and there is also Huanyu Construction, which is supported by the government.

Zhao Shanhe's expenses in recent years were mainly spent on buying cars. He gave cars to his family members and nephews as gifts as soon as they came of age. Cars were still very expensive in that era, costing hundreds of thousands of yuan. He spent millions just on cars.

"That's 22 million. This is a huge sum of money. I'm afraid it won't be spent in a year just to build the school. After all, it will take a lot of time for Shanbei and his team to investigate each place one by one."

Zhao Shanhu said, "Not counting other things, we can build almost 200 schools. Student subsidies and tuition fees don't actually cost much."

"We can find a professional to calculate it later and figure out the answer. We can include all the expenses and then we can talk to the school about it."

Zhao Shanhai said, "Brother, since we have established a foundation, we must have a name, right? You are good at naming, so you can choose it."

Zhao Shanhe thought for a while. Boss Li’s is called One Foundation, Teacher Han’s is named after him, and Teacher Gu’s school is also named after him. What should he name his own?

Zhao Shanhe said, "How about the Sanshan Foundation?"

"My eldest brother is Shanhe, my second brother is Shanhu, and I am Shanhai. It is indeed the Three Mountains. What a good name, let's call it the Three Mountains Foundation."

Zhao Shanhe thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. When we are old, our children and grandchildren will continue to do this. This is a good thing. Why not call it the Sunshine Foundation?"

Zhao Shanhai said, "Brother, I think we should call it the Sanshan Foundation. It will take many years for our children and grandchildren to take over. They will have their own ideas. By then, maybe enough schools will have been built. Let them name it after what they have done. I am selfish and I cannot do good deeds without leaving my name behind."

Shan Hu also said, "Brother, I think what the third brother said is right. I am also a little selfish. In the future, the three of us will spend tens of millions of dollars to leave a good reputation."
