Time flies by, and the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games is finally coming to an end.
Although Zhao Yi and his team went to the scene to cheer, it did not have much impact on the number of medals won by the Chinese team. It was still the same as in the previous life, with 15 gold medals, 8 silver medals, and 9 bronze medals.
Zhao Yi did not intend to join in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, but he couldn't resist Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu, so he went to watch it, which also marked the end of their trip to the United States.
Before returning to China, Zhao Yi took Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu to the gambling company to collect his winnings. Since all his guesses were correct, the overall odds reached 103 times. The initial bet of US$10,000 made him instantly earn US$1.03 million, which can be said to be It's a lot of money.
Fortunately, Ms. Lin followed Zhao Yi's bet of one thousand US dollars and now has more than 100,000 US dollars. Ms. Lin was overjoyed. Looking at Zhao Yi was like seeing a lucky angel.
As for whether she had any regrets in her heart, Zhao Yi didn't know. She probably had some, but if she had invested $10,000, she might have been able to retire early.
Since they were about to return to China, they had no plans to visit the United States anymore, so they separated from Ms. Lin. Ms. Lin's work as a tour guide officially ended and she returned to work in a trading company.
On August 13, Zhao Yi and his party finally returned to Hong Kong on a chartered flight. After nearly a month, the Hong Kong Housing Company had come up with a preliminary design plan for the new city, which Zhao Yi needed to take a look at.
After getting the plan from the Hong Kong Housing Company, Zhao Yi looked through it carefully. Although the design was very beautiful, especially from the current perspective, the buildings designed will not be outdated in the next 30 years.
However, the new city built by Zhao Yi will be used for hundreds of years, so this advanced design cannot meet Zhao Yi's expectations.
But if you just call them back and ask them to redesign it, it will take a lot of time, regardless of whether it can meet expectations.
You must know that Zhao Yi also hopes that the Hong Kong Housing Corporation will provide a model for the mainland government to see this kind of cooperation, so that it can also implement this kind of plan in the mainland to provide citizens with a cheap and comfortable living environment.
So Zhao Yi simply designed some conceptual drawings by himself and gave them to the designers as a reference. According to his design, the residential buildings were designed according to the sky garden design method, so that every resident can enjoy the green environment coverage and have a broad vision. , so that the residents will not feel aggrieved.
As for commercial buildings, a lot of environmental protection suggestions are provided. At the same time, in order to adapt to the changes of the times, it is also recommended to provide modular design concepts. When newer technologies are available, replacing the modules you believe can give the building a new look without affecting the quality of the building. Building safety.
After these things are figured out, the plan will be returned to the design department and they will be asked to redesign it based on the reference drawings and suggestions. At the same time, the new city layout will also be modified accordingly.
Another thing that makes Zhao Yi very happy is that the construction of the villa on the top of Baijiadao, which started last year, has finally been completed. It took more than half a year and many technological elements were added, which Zhao Yi is looking forward to.
So they chose an auspicious day, and Zhao Yi and the others finally moved into their new residence. The space immediately expanded several times, allowing Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu to truly experience the luxury of capitalists.
The land price of this villa is very high. Coupled with high-quality building materials and top-grade decoration materials, the overall cost of this villa has reached an astonishing HK$500 million.
Although in later generations, a courtyard house in Beijing could be valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, it is not the same concept as this villa. The value of HK$500 million in this era is also different from the value in later generations.
Lin Hexia usually lives in this villa, so many of her opinions were taken into consideration when it came to the decoration style. However, Zhao Yiyi only used this place as a place to stay when coming to Hong Kong and did not plan to stay there for a long time, so he didn't care so much.
Originally, everyone planned to hang out here until the end of the summer vacation, but before they stayed for a week, there was a call from Kyoto, saying that there was an important meeting that he needed to attend.
Since there was no encrypted phone call here, the specific details were not mentioned. Zhao Yi did not ask, but just said that he would attend on time.
After receiving the call, Zhao Yi asked Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu if they would go back with him. In the end, they said they would go back together. After all, Zhao Yi was not here and their play was not interesting. Lin Hexia didn't have much time to play with them.
Before leaving, Zhao Yi gave Lin Hexia the US$1.03 million he earned from an American gambling company. How could Lin Hexia accept his money
"This is a little gift from me, both Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu have it. As you know, I'm not good at buying gifts. Zhou Jinyu helped buy those gifts, so this money is the real gift I give you. ." Zhao Yi said.
Zhao Yi was telling the truth. As a straight man who has been single for decades, he is really not good at giving gifts to women, so he just kept it simple and rude and gave money directly.
"But you can't give money directly. Is there such a way to give gifts to friends?" Lin Hexia rolled his eyes and said.
Zhao Yi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Although it is not romantic enough, it is very practical. Keep it in your hand for emergencies. Just treat it as your own private money."
When Zhao Yi said that he was giving her private money, Lin Hexia's face turned red involuntarily. After all, not everyone would give private money to her.
Hearing this, Lin Hexia blushed silently and accepted the bank card handed over by Zhao Yi. Although Zhao Yi didn't know what was going on, she didn't refuse, and it was regarded as completing a task.
After arranging the affairs in Hong Kong, Zhao Yi cleared customs and arrived in Shenzhen on the same day. He took the airline's flight back to Kyoto. When he arrived in Kyoto, it was already evening.
Everyone rested for a night. The next day, someone from the central government came to pick up Zhao Yi to attend the meeting. Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu planned to go home today to visit their parents and then return to school at the same time.
He originally thought that the vehicle would take him to the government office building, but he ended up at ZNH. It was an old man who wanted to see him today, which surprised Zhao Yi.
The two have not seen each other since the last time they accompanied the old man to inspect the Mu Us Ranch. Time flies, and three years have passed. I don’t know what is going on when they meet me this time.
It was still the same place a few years ago. Zhao Yi sat opposite the old man. After the secretary served tea, he exited the room and looked out the window at the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. The room was surrounded by the fragrance of tea, and an artistic conception emerged spontaneously.
After drinking tea, the old man said: "The bottles of medicine you submitted to the chief minister of the government last year were finally passed after such a long period of testing."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled on his face and said, "This is a happy event, but I don't know what the government plans to do?"
The impact of intelligence potions and body immunity-enhancing potions will be huge. If they are blindly promoted without a complete plan, the unfairness will be even more obvious.
At the same time, the effectiveness of these two pharmaceuticals is also greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why Zhao Yi had this question just now. The previous method of delivery has been explained to the government chief minister, which is to add this reagent to the milk produced by Tengger Ranch so that the citizens can drink it without knowing it. Promoted.
Of course, the habit of drinking milk must be promoted to all the people, but the domestic people are generally not wealthy enough. If they are asked to spend a sum of money to buy milk that cannot satisfy their hunger, the promotion effect will be greatly reduced.
The original solution was for Tianji Dairy Company to operate this special milk at a low profit, and the state also used part of the funds to provide subsidies, reducing the price of each bottle of milk to 1 cent.
You must know the cost of milk alone. 250 ml of milk costs 1 cent. Adding the cost of the two reagents, the overall cost reaches 3 cents. In this era, it is already very expensive.
You know, in many rural areas, many people cannot earn one yuan a day, and most families have several children. Plus they themselves, they are completely unable to consume this kind of milk. If there is no subsidy, there will be no milk. law promotion.
If it weren't for the fear that not collecting money would cause huge waste, Zhao Yi wouldn't even want to collect the 1 penny. After all, 1 penny is almost the same as confiscation.
However, if the state provides full subsidies, it will need to subsidize more than 125 million yuan per day and 45.6 billion yuan a year.
Although the national financial pressure has been greatly alleviated due to the rapid economic development in recent years, the need to provide so many fixed subsidies every year is also a huge pressure.
At the same time, this plan is still a top-secret plan, and it is impossible for many people to know the specific situation. In the eyes of those who do not understand the situation, this is a pure waste of money and will cause great adverse effects.
This is just the scale of funds consumed by milk itself. The supporting school construction and compulsory education require huge financial support. It is estimated that the scale of funds required to be invested each year is not a small amount.
Based on the annual enrollment of 300 million school-age students and an annual education subsidy of 200 yuan per person, this alone requires an investment of 60 billion yuan.
This does not include the school's fixed building investment. According to the situation in the previous life, many school buildings in rural areas were adobe houses. The scale of these investments was not large, but this was not what Zhao Yi wanted to see.
Born in a rural area in his previous life, he hated the inequality in education between urban and rural areas. With economic development, educational resources are increasingly concentrated in cities, making this unfair phenomenon even more obvious.
So taking this opportunity, Zhao Yi wanted to sort out domestic education and try to make sure there is no difference between urban and rural areas, so that every student can get the same educational resources no matter where they are.
In order to achieve this goal, more resources need to be allocated to rural areas, because cities are naturally attractive to educational resources. Not only are urban teacher salaries higher, but life is also more convenient than in rural areas.
If it develops naturally, many outstanding teachers in rural areas will automatically gather in cities, resulting in the hollowing out of rural schools and increasingly weak educational resources.
In order to balance this phenomenon, teachers in rural areas need to be provided with salaries higher than local levels.
According to Zhao Yi's idea, teachers' salaries should be the same across the country, and there should not be different salaries due to different regional economic development levels.
Because they perform the same job, according to the principle of equal pay for equal work, their salaries should also be the same.
Of course, these are just Zhao Yi's own thoughts, because this matter is not his own, and it is not realistic. It is unfair to urban teachers. He can only try to achieve a relative average.
The cost of living in cities is different from that in rural areas. If the wages of the two are really the same, the quality of life of urban teachers will definitely be inferior to that of rural teachers.
Of course, Zhao Yi's vision is not unachievable. When the economic levels of cities and rural areas are similar, such a goal can be achieved. This is also one of the goals Zhao Yi pursues. (End of chapter)
