Back to the golden age

"Yanchao, what do you think of the night school?" Suddenly, Principal Zhou asked Song Yuanchao this sentence.

Principal Zhou's question surprised Song Yuanchao. He didn't understand whether Principal Zhou's so-called night school referred to the night school he understood, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"What? You don't know about night schools, do you?" Principal Zhou joked.

"Of course I know. Are you planning to run an evening school, principal?" Song Yuanchao asked tentatively.

"Hehe, can't it work?" Principal Zhou laughed when he saw Song Yuanchao was a little surprised: "It's not a new thing to have a night school. Our school had a worker's night school in the early days of its establishment. This night school has existed for a long time. It was canceled for a few reasons."

Speaking of this, Principal Zhou's expression was full of memories, as if he was thinking of the past: "Yanchao, you were still young at that time, and your father was an evening school teacher for a long time, and taught many students. Woolen cloth."

Deep in Song Yuanchao's memory, he suddenly remembered that this happened when he was a child. His father, Song Guangzeng, was busy for a long time, and he came home late at night. He would see him at home even on days off less than people.

At that time, Song Yuanchao, who was not sensible, asked his mother why his father was always away from home. His mother smiled and told him that his father was busy with work and had to teach students during the day and night. He didn't even have time to promise himself to go to the zoo to see elephants.

"Principal, are you going to use the resources of No. [-] Middle School to run an evening school?"

"I have this idea. In fact, it's not just No. [-] Middle School, but other schools are also working together." Principal Zhou glanced at Song Yuanchao and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is also the inspiration you gave me this time. I went to the Education Bureau a few days ago. During the meeting, I ran into many old friends. They all joked that our No. [-] Middle School has made a fortune this time. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the college entrance examination, we produced a batch of review materials for the college entrance examination. They are very popular outside. They old guys met His eyes were red, and he yelled for me to treat him to a drink."

As he said that, Principal Zhou laughed heartily. The schools of today are different from the schools of later generations. All schools, including universities, rely on finances. Daily life is miserable, not to mention the salaries of school teachers. Even if the school wants to buy some teaching equipment, it has to be divided into two cents to spend.

But later generations are different. Let’s not talk about schools in backward and remote areas, but all kinds of schools in first-tier cities. Whether it is elementary school, junior high school, high school or even university, which one of all the schools is rich and powerful?

Even if it is not a key school, there are more channels for schools to generate income besides the fixed financial allocation, such as evening schools, cram schools, etc. These are the main sources of school income, and their income even exceeds the normal financial allocation.

This time, No. [-] Middle School not only made No. [-] Middle School famous in Shanghai by printing the college entrance examination review materials, but also made No. [-] Middle School a lot of profits.

Among them, the income from this aspect alone exceeds [-] yuan, and the school and the factory each share half of it, which is also a huge amount of [-] yuan.

In addition, the No. [-] Middle School also took a whole thousand copies of the college entrance examination review materials for nothing, and all these materials were distributed to the graduating students of the No. [-] Middle School for free.

As for the teachers who helped sort out the materials, Song Yuanchao didn't treat them badly, and gave each of them a generous bonus, which was equal to their one-month salary, which made these teachers very happy.

No. [-] Middle School's success in this matter has made other schools see the same possibility. Principal Zhou has heard that some schools, especially the principals of key middle schools like No. [-] Middle School, have begun to think about how No. [-] Middle School will prepare review materials for next year's college entrance examination up.

Like No. [-] Middle School, these schools also have a lot of question banks and excellent teachers. Even if they don't have printing equipment like No. [-] Middle School's factory, they can find a printing factory to cooperate with.

This year's head soup was given to No. [-] Middle School, so I can't let No. [-] Middle School enjoy it until next year, right?Your No. [-] Middle School is full of meat and meat, so everyone can't just stare at it, can't they?

When President Zhou told Song Yuanchao about this in detail, Song Yuanchao was not too surprised. This is actually market competition. Although this market is different from ordinary markets, its essence has not changed at all.

These things made by Song Yuanchao are not uncommon in later generations, especially in the era of information explosion in later generations, these materials and exercises are easy to get through various channels.Even now, although some schools are not as good as No. [-] Middle School due to lack of foundation and other reasons, looking at the whole of Shanghai, there are not no schools that are comparable to No. [-] Middle School, so No. [-] Middle School can do it, so can they.

"I was still worrying about what we would do if these schools started preparing review materials for the college entrance examination tomorrow. Today, the old horse came to me and told me what you discussed, which made my eyes shine. You have thought well, and you can't be limited to the college entrance examination. The improvement of the senior high school entrance examination and even the usual academic performance can be promoted in this way, which is a good thing for the improvement of the education level."

Principal Zhou said so, and then he said: "But some schools can't do this, because they haven't been established for a long time, and they don't have such conditions. A few old friends discussed cooperation with me in private, and I thought about it. It is not fair for the factory to cooperate with the tutoring materials, so I wondered whether it is possible to set up a joint night school and do some remedial teaching work directly facing the students. In this way, these unqualified schools and teachers can use the school Or teach in the name of individuals, while improving students' grades, they also gain some benefits, so as to achieve the same purpose."

It turned out that Principal Zhou thought so, which made Song Yuanchao look at Principal Zhou with admiration.

For a long time, Song Yuanchao only thought that Principal Zhou was an excellent educator and also a kind elder, but today Principal Zhou let Song Yuanchao see that he surpassed the vision of ordinary people in this respect. It will not be unusual in more than ten years, but it is extremely forward-looking now.

Evening schools are training institutions, and this is a huge market.If it is possible, Song Yuanchao really wants to do this market, at least before 2021, the scale of this market has reached an unimaginable level.

However, Song Yuanchao has no such intention at all. After all, the education market was opened to private capital in the late 80s. Before this time period, the education market was closed after all. Those who can enter this industry are all within the education system. own institution or the school itself.

Song Yuanchao knew that it was impossible for him to enter this industry, so he never considered it from the beginning.But today, President Zhou's idea made Song Yuanchao feel that he could push it forward. Although he couldn't do it himself, it didn't prevent him from helping No. [-] Middle School to do it.If the No. [-] Middle School does a good job, it will be a very good thing for the No. [-] Middle School, and it will also be beneficial to society.

"Hehe, it's a bit far-fetched. This matter has not yet been settled. I will go to the bureau for a meeting and report to the director. If there is no opinion from the bureau, the evening school will probably be able to run." Principal Zhou Having said that, Song Yuanchao was a little puzzled. Although Principal Zhou's idea was good, how much did it have to do with him?

Unexpectedly, President Zhou's next sentence made Song Yuanchao stunned: "The things in the factory will be done according to your ideas discussed, and the school can support it. Another thing, I signed up for you, you guys Study hard every day, take time to come to me to read books and do quizzes, and strive to be admitted to university as soon as possible."

"University entrance exam?" Song Yuanchao was dumbfounded. How could this be related to his own university entrance exam?

When Principal Zhou handed Song Yuanchao a registration receipt, Song Yuanchao clearly saw his name written on it, and the registration time was last month, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Principal, this...you...?"

"Knowledge is power, and knowledge is the future! Aid Korea, you are still young. The chairman said that young people are like the sun at eight or nine o'clock. You have done a good job in the factory these few months and are very capable, but you There should be a broader stage and a brighter future. Don’t be complacent just because of a little achievement, and patronize immediate interests. Going to college is my expectation for you, and I think your parents hope so too. For me, for Your parents are also for your own sake, to aid North Korea, you should go to college!"

He patted Song Yuanchao's shoulder heavily, and Principal Zhou said earnestly, "Son, go to college. With your level, you will definitely be able to pass the exam this time. Of course, if you really don't want to, I won't force it, but what about the factory?" ...."

Speaking of this, Principal Zhou stopped talking.

This seemingly kind and peaceful old man has unexpected stubbornness. He has been obsessed with this matter, and even signed himself up on his own initiative.

The meaning behind President Zhou's words also expressed his attitude, that is, if Song Yuanchao did not go to this university, he would probably directly reject the suggestion from the factory, which immediately put Song Yuanchao on the bar.

Looking at the receipt in front of him, and thinking about what he asked Gu Jie to sign up for yesterday, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but smiled wryly. He was really upset about the retribution. He had just arranged for Gu Jie to take the college entrance examination, but now he was arranged by Principal Zhou. What's the matter!
