236: To be world-class

Ziyong's face changed drastically: "Call me Gege!"

He hated it when people called him 'Uncle' the most!

The little boy was very smart and sweetly called him Gege.

Ziyong smiled and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"Mommy…" The little boy lowered his head.

Ziyong thought the little boy was shy again, but the man beside him said, "His mother passed away!"

Upon hearing this, Ziyong was silent for a moment.

"Even so, you can't leave a child on a construction site, it's so unsafe!"

Ziyong said, then turned to the safety officer, Cao Lezhi, and said, "Arrange someone to specifically look after him!"

Hearing this, the man quickly thanked him.

Cao Lezhi hesitated and whispered, "This will increase expenses…"

This was an additional cost.

Although he also wanted to help the man, he couldn't let Ziyong pay to help raise the child, could he?

"It's fine." Ziyong shook his head. "By the way, besides this child, are there any other children on the construction site?"

Cao Lezhi hesitated for a moment and said, "There are quite a few children, many of them are here because of various reasons and have no one to look after them!"

Hearing this, Ziyong waved his hand and said, "Bring them all here and hire kindergarten teachers for them!"

Children who were old enough for kindergarten but weren't attending likely came from very difficult family situations.

Thinking of this, Ziyong's heart stirred.

He had many employees in Han City.

Since that was the case, why not build a kindergarten?

Why not build a larger kindergarten?

That way, age-appropriate children of Feihuang Supermarket and Heli 撈 employees could all go to school.

He heard that kindergarten tuition was very expensive, so the cost must be very high.

If he made the kindergarten an employee benefit, wouldn't that mean he could lose a lot of money?

As the system's funds grew, its restrictions in this area became smaller and smaller.

Ziyong probed a bit and found that he could indeed build a kindergarten for his employees, allowing their children to attend for free!

What was he waiting for!

Ziyong immediately said, "I've decided to build a large kindergarten for the community."

"Children of community residents can get 20% off tuition, and our Feihuang employees' children can attend for free!"

"Ah?" Safety officer Cao Lezhi was surprised.

How did this happen? A child playing outside led to the idea of a kindergarten.

At the same time, Cao Lezhi was also very impressed.

There were few bosses who genuinely considered their employees, no wonder Feihuang's employees worked so hard.

At this moment, Cao Lezhi even wanted to join Feihuang Group.

However, he was only temporarily hired to help, and he didn't know if Feihuang would want him…

Building a kindergarten wasn't Cao Lezhi's responsibility, so Ziyong immediately went to find the project manager for the construction site.

Ziyong wasn't the project manager; he was a casual staff member on the site, responsible for motivating the workers.

The project manager was happy to hear that Ziyong wanted to build a kindergarten.

Ziyong paid him a very high salary and treated him extremely well; he wished he could Work for Ziyong his entire life.

Project manager Pang Chengye patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely build the kindergarten well!"

Ziyong emphasized, "Not only must it be built well, I want it to be exceptionally good; the kindergarten must reach international first-class standards!"

"International first-class standards?" Pang Chengye was greatly surprised. "Boss, this isn't Shen City!"

"If it's international first-class, the investment will be enormous!"

"And it will be difficult to hire teachers; with Han City's economic level, people simply can't afford it!"

Ziyong asked, "So, does that mean the kindergarten I build will lose money?"

Pang Chengye nodded with certainty: "It will lose money!"

"Based on my understanding of Han City's economy, there's no possibility of making a profit!"

Ziyong's eyes lit up: "Then build it quickly!"

"Make it luxurious, make it big, I want to invite excellent teachers from Shen City, from all over the country, to teach!"

"Losing money is nothing; we can't let the children suffer!"

"What are we making money for? Isn't it for the next generation?"

"Spend as much as you can, don't try to save money for me!"

Pang Chengye was deeply moved.

You can't let the children suffer usually refers to one's own children.

But Ziyong was different; he meant he couldn't let his employees' children suffer.

Being Ziyong's employee was truly too fortunate.

Pang Chengye couldn't imagine; if the employees knew that Ziyong had paid a huge price to ensure their children wouldn't be at a disadvantage from the start, they would probably be moved to tears.

To be honest, even he, an outsider, was very touched.

Pang Chengye sincerely said, "Boss Qian, your employees are truly blessed to have such a good boss like you!"

Ziyong humbly replied, "No, I am blessed to have such good employees!"

Ziyong always greeted his employees with a smile.

Because they helped him lose money!

Each employee would spend at least ten thousand yuan a month.

Little by little, ten thousand employees could spend over a hundred million yuan a month for him!

Currently, his biggest expenditure wasn't real estate investment, but his employees' salaries and benefits!

Building a kindergarten required land, so Ziyong called Qin Jianming.

When Qin Jianming heard that Ziyong wanted land to build a kindergarten, and an international first-class one at that, he was immediately very supportive.

Building an international first-class kindergarten would cost about one hundred million yuan!

It would boost Han City's economy.

At the same time, having this kindergarten would also enhance the city's influence and external image.

Qin Jianming was very supportive, immediately agreed to hold a meeting to discuss it, and promised to do his best to provide him with a piece of land for educational use.

Because it was for educational use, and dedicated to that purpose, the price would be much cheaper.

However, Qin Jianming emphasized that educational facilities must be built, and absolutely no real estate development was allowed.

Ziyong promised to invest one hundred million yuan, repeatedly guaranteed that the land would be used exclusively for education and absolutely not for real estate, then hung up the phone.

After doing all this, Ziyong felt like he had opened up his two main meridians.

There were three great mountains in the world: education, healthcare, and housing.

These three great mountains weighed heavily on people, making it hard to breathe.

With his current funds, he could completely move the mountain of education.

This was a high-input, low-output, or even no-output, purely money-losing venture!

Investing money here was even more secure than investing in real estate.

It was bound to lose money!

Ziyong had already decided to build a kindergarten first.

Since he even had a kindergarten, should he also have a primary school?

If the kindergarten was international first-class, the primary school couldn't be too bad, could it?

It should also be international first-class!

If there was a primary school, would middle school be far behind?

If there was a middle school, there should also be a high school.

What about university?

It was an endless investment!

Given Han City's economy, it would be difficult for ordinary families to afford it.

The only ones who could afford it might be the families of his employees Working at Feihuang.

But Working at Feihuang meant they didn't need to pay tuition; Feihuang Group covered all tuition fees.

In other words, those who could afford it didn't need to pay.

Those who couldn't afford it, couldn't afford it, and were not customers of the kindergarten.

Haha…

He had found a bug in the system!
