266: 100,000 per semester

It loses on construction, loses on salaries, and doesn't make any money.

Qian Ziyong felt that investing in education had great potential.

He was already planning to build another elementary school.

It doesn't need to be too big, but since the kindergarten is already so large, it must be several times larger than the kindergarten, right?

The kindergarten cost one hundred million, so the elementary school should cost at least five hundred million, right?

Part of the funds for the next cycle—doesn't that provide a solution?

Qian Ziyong once again praised his own quick thinking.

He continued watching the video.

Brother Li led Xiang Yang further, arriving at a spacious area where there were many fields.

“Is this someone else’s vegetable garden?” Xiang Yang asked.

Brother Li shook his head: “No, this is where the children learn to grow vegetables.”

“Teachers will lead them in planting vegetables, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and cooking meals.”

“It’s like how we adults enjoy farm stays, but under the guidance of teachers, they play and learn at the same time.”

“They learn about grains and nature.”

Brother Li pointed to the side: “Besides these, there’s also flower arranging, pottery making, woodworking, and so on.”

“The main focus of the kindergarten is not knowledge from books, but cultivating children’s practical abilities and teaching them some common sense for life.”

Xiang Yang felt that made a lot of sense.

Learning knowledge from books at such a young age truly felt like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

Moreover, current students, once they enter elementary school, their academic burden becomes very heavy.

Why not let them play and learn properly during their kindergarten years, when they should be playing?

Playing is also a form of learning, at least in kindergarten.

Brother Li continued to introduce: “That area is quite ordinary; it’s just the sports stadium, with indoor basketball courts, soccer fields, badminton courts, table tennis courts, and an indoor ice-skating rink—nothing special to see.”

“Oh, and there’s also an indoor snow field, so even in summer, students can play in the snow.”

“As for the amusement park, it’s too common here, so I won’t introduce each one individually!”

Xiang Yang sighed: “The children who study here are truly fortunate.”

“Being able to build snowmen in the summer is something I couldn’t even imagine.”

“The tuition fees for studying here must be very expensive!”

Brother Li nodded: “It is indeed very expensive, one hundred thousand per semester!”

Xiang Yang shook his head and sighed: “That’s truly too expensive. I can only look; I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it!”

Brother Li smiled slightly and said: “Do you feel the tuition here is very expensive and you’re a bit reluctant?”

Xiang Yang nodded: “It would cost six hundred thousand to study for three years.”

“It’s not that I’m reluctant, it’s that I don’t have that much money!”

Unless he was crazy, even if he had six hundred thousand, he wouldn’t go!

Six hundred thousand!

Ten thousand a month is considered a high salary; six hundred thousand would take five years to earn without eating or drinking!

Brother Li nodded: “It is indeed expensive, but it’s worth every penny!”

“Our Feihuang Kindergarten will hire excellent teachers. Of course, unlike other international kindergartens that only hire foreign teachers to make parents feel good, we won't do that!”

“Our Feihuang International Kindergarten will also hire foreign teachers, but not too many; most will be our Huaxia teachers!”

“What about teaching English?” Xiang Yang asked curiously.

“Can’t Huaxia teachers teach English well?” Brother Li retorted, “Are foreign teachers necessarily superior to Huaxia teachers?”

Xiang Yang fell silent.

Many parents now believe that the more foreign teachers a school has, the stronger its teaching staff.

As if foreign teachers are inherently more capable.

It’s not the 90s anymore; now Huaxia also has many good teachers, and Huaxia is not inferior to foreign countries at all!

But why do many parents think that more foreign teachers mean stronger teaching staff?

Brother Li said mysteriously: “Actually, we have a hidden standard: every student who attends our Feihuang Kindergarten.”

“Must be able to speak fluent English upon graduation, capable of communicating with foreigners very smoothly in daily life.”

“So, while we don’t extensively recruit foreign teachers, fluent spoken English is the most basic requirement for entering our school as a teacher.”

“In addition, teachers must have high personal qualities to provide students with a good growth environment.”

“Fluent English communication upon graduation?” Xiang Yang exclaimed.

He knew that English was his weak subject during his studies.

If it weren’t for his poor English, he definitely wouldn’t have only attended a second-tier university; he might have gone to a first-tier university, or even a 211.

Even though he later improved his English in university, it remained a lifelong regret.

Moreover, even after he improved his English, he could only write and read, but not speak.

Is six hundred thousand worth it to learn to communicate in spoken English?

Xiang Yang felt it wasn’t worth it.

But this is only one of the standards achieved by Feihuang International Kindergarten; it also cultivates children in all aspects.

Xiang Yang was now filled with mixed emotions, and the viewers in front of the video also had many thoughts.

“If I had a child, I’d send them there even if I had to sell everything I own.”

“Six hundred thousand is a lot, but compared to school district housing, it’s nothing.”

“The teachers in that school must be excellent. You know, tutoring fees in Shen City now, even the cheaper ones, are five hundred an hour.”

“At school, it’s eight hours a day, at least five hundred hours per semester, which is two hundred fifty thousand! It seems one hundred thousand per semester isn’t that expensive.”

“…”

Some said it was expensive, some said it wasn’t, but no one thought the school wasn’t worth one hundred thousand.

After all, they also knew that good teachers are truly expensive now.

And if this school hires the best teachers in the country, plus such excellent infrastructure.

From kindergarten, children can be a big step ahead of their peers.

After visiting the kindergarten, Xiang Yang came out.

Outside, Xiang Yang sighed to the video: “I am now very envious of Feihuang’s employees!”

“One semester’s tuition is one hundred thousand, which means if you work at Feihuang and have a child going to kindergarten, you save six hundred thousand!”

“And Feihuang isn’t not paying salaries; at least ten thousand a month!”

“Over three years, that’s at least three hundred sixty thousand, plus the six hundred thousand tuition saved.”

“All together, that’s nine hundred sixty thousand!”

“If I didn’t know that Feihuang isn’t hiring right now, I, the video creator, would even quit and start working there on the spot!”

“Alright, this video is also coming to an end. I will now announce the website address, it’s in the bottom left of the video!”

“I know many viewers won’t search for this website, so I’ll briefly introduce what’s inside this website here.”

“This website contains all of Feihuang Group’s expenses, all its income, and even its bank balance!”

“All debits and credits, employee salary expenditures, cost of goods, etc., are all clearly recorded.”

“Even buying a bag of instant noodles has clear accounting records, let alone the annual tax filings!”

“This is the first company in all of Huaxia, no, the entire world, to directly publish its accounts online!”
