170: Chapter 170 The Minister of Propaganda personally paid a visit!

"No, you must take this money!"

Director Guo Fan said firmly.

"Uh..."

Xu Hao rubbed his nose.

These days, is there really someone who forces money on others?

But he really didn't lack this hundred million right now.

Nowadays, Xu's Heavy Industry's business was booming, so there was no need to worry about profitability at all.

Coupled with foreign arms sales, they were making money hand over fist.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were filthy rich.

Moreover...

The Dragon Country side had also allocated special research and development funds to him.

Xu Hao was currently loaded with wealth.

"Keep this money for yourself. Maybe it will come in handy for the second part of The Wandering Earth!"

Xu Hao said.

Director Guo Fan was stunned.

"Chairman Xu... how did you know we were going to film the second part of The Wandering Earth?"

"We haven't revealed this news to anyone yet!"

Director Guo Fan was puzzled.

The decision to film the second part of The Wandering Earth had only been finalized a few days ago, yet Chairman Xu already knew.

"Uh... just a guess, a guess."

"After all, the first part of The Wandering Earth was so well-made and popular; they'd have to make a second part no matter what, right?"

Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat.

He'd spoken too quickly. That was close!

Director Guo Fan's expression softened, and he nodded. "That's true. We didn't expect The Wandering Earth to be such a hit either."

After saying that, he immediately snapped back to the point.

"Chairman Xu, don't change the subject. You must accept this money no matter what, or I won't be able to give an account."

The investors had specifically instructed him that this money must be given to Xu Hao.

Director Guo Fan naturally didn't dare to be careless.

Xu Hao was helpless.

He hadn't expected the usually straightforward Director Guo Fan to be so adamant this time.

It seemed that if he didn't accept the money, the man would never hear the end of it.

Xu Hao held his phone and lowered his head in thought.

After a while, he spoke:

"How about this... why don't you set up a charitable foundation in the name of Guo Fan Film Industry to support children in remote areas?"

"Although everyone's material standard of living has improved, there are still many children in the deep mountains who cannot enjoy good educational resources."

"Establish a special fund to provide educational subsidies for these children, so they can enjoy the same educational resources as children in the city."

"So, let's arrange the money this way!"

Having grown up in the countryside himself, he naturally knew that some places were still relatively poor and backward.

Many parents were forced to leave their children with grandparents in their hometowns to earn money and support the family.

These were the left-behind children.

And educational resources in rural areas were often lagging behind.

Coupled with family poverty, many children were unable to complete their studies properly.

Xu Hao thought it over.

Rather than passing this money back and forth, it was better to use it somewhere useful.

"This..." Director Guo Fan frowned, considering the feasibility of this plan.

Xu Hao said directly:

"No more 'this' and 'that.' Let's arrange it this way. Listen to me!"

"If those investors blame you, just tell them it was my idea!"

Director Guo Fan was already somewhat moved by the plan, and hearing Xu Hao say this, he no longer hesitated.

"Fine! Let's do it!"

"However, the foundation can't be established in the name of Guo Fan Film Industry; it must be in your name!"

Xu Hao gave a helpless smile. "As you wish! Anyway, the money is settled. Don't ask for my card number to transfer it to me again!"

"Hehe, I was just doing what I had to!"

"Then it's settled. I'll go and arrange the plan right now."

After saying that, Director Guo Fan hung up the phone.

Xu Hao shook his head, feeling both exasperated and amused.

...

Director Guo Fan took the student aid plan proposed by Xu Hao very seriously.

Just as Xu Hao had said.

Our standard of living has improved, but in those remote mountainous areas, many children still cannot enjoy the benefits brought by rapid development.

Director Guo Fan didn't have the grand ambition to 'benefit the whole world when successful,' but he did have the necessary kindness.

Taking this opportunity, he could precisely 'benefit the world' by helping a small group of people.

At the same time...

He also really wanted to do something for Xu Hao and deepen his relationship with him in the process.

After all...

Xu Hao's ability and character were beyond doubt.

Director Guo Fan felt truly fortunate to be able to become friends with such a person.

After hanging up, Director Guo Fan set about preparing for the relevant work.

He specifically set up a team to handle the charitable work.

The name of the foundation was also decided: the Xu Hao Blue Sky Student Aid Plan!

To support this plan, Director Guo Fan personally donated fifty million to the foundation!

Now, this newly established foundation had 150 million in funds.

The foundation's funds would not go through the Red Cross but would be transferred directly into the hands of the recipients.

The team members would specifically go for on-site inspections and research, and only after confirming that they indeed had difficulties would they provide special one-on-one subsidies.

Furthermore, they would conduct irregular inspections every year to see if the situation remained true.

This ensured that every cent of the foundation would be put to its maximum use.

It allowed children in poor areas and left-behind children to study worry-free from primary school to middle school and all the way to university.

This was the meager contribution they could make!

Within a day and a half, Director Guo Fan had implemented all of this work.

Looking at the 'Xu Hao Blue Sky Student Aid Plan' foundation as it began to get on the right track...

For some reason, Director Guo Fan felt an indescribable excitement and pride in his heart.

"I hope it can help those in need!"

Director Guo Fan sighed with emotion.

Xu Hao didn't know that Director Guo Fan was actually so devoted to this plan.

His mind was currently all on the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier.

As for the J-35A stealth carrier-based aircraft he had received for completing the system mission, he felt there was no rush to build it; it wouldn't be too late to consider it once Director Guo Fan's movie made progress.

The current focus was still on the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

...

The next day.

Professor Zhou Xuemin came to visit Xu Hao.

Accompanying him was Minister Yan Cheng of the Publicity Department.

Minister Yan Cheng had made this special trip mainly to deliver medals and certificates to Xu Hao.

After all...

Xu Hao had swept dozens of awards by himself, and given his current special status, it wasn't convenient for him to appear in person to accept the awards.

Therefore, Minister Yan Cheng had called Professor Zhou Xuemin to come along and deliver them to Xu Hao's door in person.

"Engineer Xu, I have long heard of your great name!"

Minister Yan Cheng was of average height and medium build, but his eyes were bright and spirited, and he carried himself with dignified poise.

The moment he saw Xu Hao, he stepped forward quickly and shook Xu Hao's hand warmly.

Xu Hao was stunned, not knowing who this was. Fortunately, Professor Zhou Xuemin saw the confusion in Xu Hao's eyes and introduced him:

"Engineer Xu, this is Minister Yan Cheng, the Minister of the Publicity Department of Dragon Country."

Xu Hao understood immediately and shook hands with Minister Yan Cheng with a smile on his face.

"Minister Yan Cheng, hello, hello!"

Was this the Minister of the Publicity Department of Dragon Country?

It was Xu Hao's first time meeting him.

After meeting and getting acquainted, Xu Hao politely welcomed the two inside.

"Don't just stand outside, you two. Please, come in!"

Minister Yan Cheng and Professor Zhou Xuemin nodded, gestured politely, and walked into the Courtyard House together with Xu Hao.
