Chapter 164 Convincing Lou’s Mother
After dismissing everyone, Cao Zhihua took Lou Xiaoe to the front square of the office area and waited for Lou En to drive over, preparing to leave for the Lou family mansion in Deep Water Bay.

After Lou Xiao'e discussed the school last night, she couldn't wait to make an appointment with Lou's mother to meet at Lou's house at 10.30:[-] in the morning.

Cao Zhihua took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. There was still half an hour left.

Now that there is no traffic jam, it will definitely take enough time to get from North Point to Deep Water Bay.

After a while, a convoy of six vehicles set off from the industrial park and headed towards Deep Water Bay.

Cao Zhihua, who was in a good mood, rarely opened the car window and looked at the people dressed in North Point along the way. He felt much better than before.He sighed and said:

"It seems that I haven't been in contact with the citizens of Hong Kong Island for a long time. Looking at it all the way, these citizens have changed a lot in terms of their clothes and their spirit."

Zhou Biao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said:

"Boss, you are the resident of North Point. Because of your factory and your income, you can see the scene you see.

You don’t know the living conditions of the Chinese in Kowloon and the New Territories.

After working hard every day, it would be great if the whole family could have a stutter. "

Duo Yuan, who was sitting next to Cao Zhihua, also echoed:
"Yes, boss, the lower-class Chinese in Hong Kong are suffering. Central, where we live, is not bad. The economy here is developed and the people who work here have relatively high incomes.

But it is different in other places on Hong Kong Island. Small business owners in other places on Hong Kong Island must pay fees every day, regardless of whether they make money or not. After excluding costs and living expenses, the remaining money will not make much money at all.

As for those who work in factories, it's even worse. They work 12 hours a day, and a couple can make ends meet together.

Not every boss is like your factory, and everyone can earn so much income every month.

Now, thanks to you, North Point of Hong Kong Island is developing very fast, and the economic conditions of every family are getting better and better.

Many people are trying to move here, and the population in North Point is now estimated to have exceeded 80.

The rent of tenement buildings here has also skyrocketed. The rent on the first floor has risen to nearly HK$600 per month. "

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:

"I remember when our industrial park opened at the beginning of the year, there were only about 50 people here in North Point, right?"

Zhou Biao and Duo Yuan looked at each other. Neither of them had arrived in Hong Kong at that time, so they didn't know about the situation.

It was Lou En who continued:

"Yes, Master. At that time, North Point was a slum area on Hong Kong Island. Due to the huge population of Shanghai and Fujian cities, it was called Little Southern Fujian. The population was only about 4 to 50."

After thinking for a while, Cao Zhihua said:
"Does our factory have such a great reputation on Hong Kong Island? Can it attract so many people to live here?"

Zhou Biao replied calmly:

"Boss, that's because you don't understand the situation. Now your reputation is very loud in the hearts of the people of Hong Kong Island. You are kind, kind and generous, and you are a true philanthropist."

"I remember that except for the charity gala held by the Governor of Hong Kong last time, I never donated any money, right? Why do I still have the reputation of being a philanthropist?"

"But your company offers high wages. There are tens of thousands of female workers in your factory. As long as they work hard, each female worker can earn a monthly salary of thousands of yuan. This is 3-4 times the monthly income of other factories. .

In the past, girls here in North Point were losers and were not valued by their families or society. Many girls were sold by their parents at a very young age.

North Point is different now. Girls are treasures. As long as they join the factory of our Zhihua Group, one person's income can match the income of three or four people in the family.

The emphasis on men and women in the family has almost equalized. As long as a girl in the family joins our factory, the whole family can basically live a good life.

The monthly income of a family with several girls working in our factory would be considered wealthy in the entire Hong Kong Island.

So you may not know that your reputation in North Point is due to everyone setting up a longevity plaque for you. "

After hearing Zhou Biao's words, Cao Zhihua smiled a little sheepishly and said:

“Being able to help my employees as much as possible is the limit of what I can do.

Fortunately, our development speed is not slow, and we don't seem to be that easy to bully. Otherwise, if everyone is running to North Point now, I don't know how many people have already hit us. "

When Zhou Biao heard that Cao Zhihua meant that someone might be causing trouble, he said angrily:
"They dare, lend them some courage."

Cao Zhihua looked at Zhou Biao funny and said:

"What? Everyone makes money by squeezing this cheap labor force, but I give my employees such high treatment, which breaks the simple rules of making money for so many people, and I don't allow them to come to me?

Or are you saying that you are so awesome?Can you kill thousands of business owners on Hong Kong Island? "

When Zhou Biao heard Cao Zhihua's teasing, he smiled, touched his chest and said:
"It doesn't matter what kind of company he is, if these people dare to come to trouble the boss, they are seeking death. I, Biaozi, will let them know the consequences."

Cao Zhihua said angrily:
"Just stop being stupid for me. Don't hit and kill people at every turn. Every line has its own rules.

No one will like such a person who shouts and kills at every turn and flips tables without following the rules.

Maybe we won’t be able to gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island in the future.

Now that our Zhihua Group is developing so fast, ordinary people from both the underworld and the white world dare not come to trouble me.

And it’s good that there are many people in North Point.This is our base camp. Our factory will be expanded soon and the building materials wholesale market will be opened, so we need a lot of people.

When the citizens have money, some people will naturally see the conditions here and come to invest.

Once there is more investment here, everyone will have industry and income, and naturally everyone will have a good life.

As a Chinese entrepreneur, I am worthy of my compatriots, right? "

Many Yuan responded excitedly to Cao Zhihua:

"Boss, you are the most conscientious boss among Chinese people. You have always been worthy of our compatriots."

Cao Zhihua can understand the excitement of many people. He is a man of faith. It is precisely because of such a group of people with faith, action, and willingness to pay the price of their lives that China has truly made everyone in the country like a dragon and all living beings equal.

He patted Duo Yuan on the shoulder to tell him not to be so excited, and then said:

“Unfortunately, my personal power is still too small and I can only help a few more people. This is why I don’t save costs, develop outsourcing business, continue to expand the industrial park, and expand employee recruitment.

Outsourcing only enriches a small number of people. If I recruit myself, at least I can ensure that these people who work for me can make their families rich and have no worries about food and drink through their own efforts. "

The convoy was traveling very fast, and while chatting, they drove past the Lou family mansion at No. 77, Deep Water Bay.

After getting out of the car, the bodyguard team quickly set up defense, and Cao Zhihua took Lou Xiaoe directly into the living room.

Lou Bancheng was working in the company, and only Lou's mother and Lou Bancheng's three concubines were left in the Lou family mansion.But today Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e came to talk. When they entered the living room, only Lou's mother was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, waiting.

"Mom, Zhihua and I are here."

When Lou Tan saw her daughter and son-in-law arriving, she put down the newspaper and stood up and said:
"Ezi and Zhihua are here. Sit down quickly. You girl, what's the matter that you can't talk about on the phone? Why do you have to make a trip?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou's mother complaining, she changed her serious demeanor in the company. She ran over to hug Lou's mother and said coquettishly:
"Don't I miss you, mother? I haven't seen you for a long time. I stopped by to see you."

"Hmph, you missed me. I didn't see you bring Mengmeng and Leile over and let me take care of them for a while."

When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou's mother's complaint that she couldn't see her grandson and granddaughter, she looked at Lou's mother flatteringly and said:

"Mom, the two babies are only a few months old. I am afraid that you will be too busy and tired. If you want to take them with you, you can stay at our house for a while. It's not far anyway. It only takes a few minutes by car."

Mother Lou watched her daughter acting coquettishly towards her and said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, tell me quickly, what good things do you want from me?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Lou's mother embarrassedly and said hesitantly:

"Mom, I came here to see you today mainly for the education of Mengmeng and Leilei.

You also know how chaotic Hong Kong Island is.Now that we have more children in our family, what we are most worried about is education. One is that they will learn badly, and the other is their safety.

So after a long discussion with Zhihua, we finally decided to run a school by ourselves from kindergarten to university.

Now everything is ready, but there is no one to take charge of the establishment of the school.

Later, I thought about it and thought that you are the most suitable person, so instead of coming here, I ask you to be the school director and be responsible for the establishment and daily management of the school. "

Lou's mother was shocked when she heard what Lou Xiao'e said. She looked at Lou Xiao'e with her mouth wide open and didn't say anything for a long time.

Lou Xiao'e saw that after she finished speaking, Lou's mother remained motionless. She shook her mother's arm in panic and said:

"Mom, what's wrong? If you don't want to, forget it. Don't scare me like this."

Lou's mother was shaken by Lou Xiao'e. She looked at the anxious Lou Xiao'e and said angrily:
"No matter what you shake, people will be shaken to death by you. You are married and have a child, and you are still making noises. How long will it grow?"

After Lou's mother finished speaking, she ignored Lou Xiao'e, sat on the sofa, drank a sip of tea, and said:
"Anyway, I have nothing to do now. Resting at home is also a rest, but I have never done anything. I will take care of the school for you. How about doing it?"

Lou Xiao'e and Cao Zhihua looked at each other and said:
"Mom, we can take care of the registration, site selection and construction of the school. All you need to do is recruit and select people so that our school's teaching staff can grow into the best school on Hong Kong Island."

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's words, Lou's mother obviously did not trust her daughter's ability. Instead, she looked at Cao Zhihua noncommittally and said:

"Zhihua, since it was your idea, you should also share your thoughts."

When Cao Zhihua heard his mother-in-law's question, he put down the teacup in his hand, sat upright, and said kindly:

"Mom, Ezi and I think so. We must be serious about running a school. With the current strength of our Zhihua Group, since we plan to run a school, the hardware must be the best in Hong Kong Island.

The school we plan to build is a garden-style school, with the best teaching buildings, the best classrooms, the best landscaping, the best reading library, the best student dormitories, the best laboratories, and the best playgrounds. , racecourse, basketball court, football field, swimming pool, martial arts hall, sports field, in short, all the teaching hardware will be world-class and the best.

What we are lacking now is actually the school's software, because Ezi and I hope that our school will be the most famous international school in Hong Kong Island and even the world in the future.

Therefore, the requirements for the school’s teaching staff will be very high.

From kindergarten to university, I hope that all teachers are famous teachers. These famous Western teachers are easy to say. As long as we find out clearly, we can spend money to do it.

The most important thing is that I am worried that the people trained in the school will be yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people in the future, so I plan to introduce domestic history as a compulsory course in the school from elementary school to university. I want Dad to pass on our ideas. Give it to the country, let the country prepare teaching materials and arrange for famous teachers to come over.

As for other courses in nature, science, biology, geography, interpersonal communication, etiquette, sports, and languages,
We'd better try our best to use world-renowned people and Nobel scholars to teach, because white men believe in authority. If our school doesn't have authoritative people to teach, they won't be recognized by these white men. "

After listening to Cao Zhihua's words, Lou's mother was shocked by Cao Zhihua's generosity. It was not like letting her son-in-law see the angry side of her family. After Lou's mother took a sip of tea to calm down her shock, she said:

"Zhihua, from what you said, this school should cost a lot of money, right?

Is it worth investing so much just for the education of a few children? "

Cao Zhihua said with a smile:

"Mom, this is not just a matter of children's education.

Not only our country attaches great importance to education, but all countries in the world attach great importance to education.

Western countries believe in business education, so if the school is well run, it will be very profitable.
It is also the business venue with the largest personal network in the world.

There are many schools in the Beautiful Country and the Great Eagle Country. Through the network of relationships generated by their students, they have become academic leaders and are deeply involved in all aspects of politics, economics, business, learning, and society in the host country.

If we run this school well, it will bring great prestige and a huge network of relationships to our family, and it will become the most powerful life-saving card for our family in the future. "

After hearing what Cao Zhihua said, Lou's mother felt more and more unsure. She had never done anything in her life, but it was good now that her daughter and son-in-law were throwing such a big burden directly on her.

Mother Lou had a headache and pressed her temples with both hands, then said:
"Zhihua, Mom thanks you so much for trusting me and entrusting me with such a big matter, but I don't have the confidence to handle this matter well. How about you change it to someone else?"

Cao Zhihua shook his head and said:

"Mom, it is precisely because this matter requires a lot of investment and is very important to our family that we cannot let outsiders take responsibility. You know, there are very few people Ezi and I can trust. Even Ezi's two brothers, we I can’t believe it, so I can only ask for your help.

It doesn't matter if you don't know. You can ask your dad for help, or ask your dad to find someone who knows how to run a school to come over and help you.

When the time comes and you are unsure about something, call me or Chang and we will discuss it together and make a decision. What do you think? "

Lou's mother saw her daughter and son-in-law looking at her with trusting eyes, and hearing Cao Zhihua's heartfelt words, she sighed and said:

"Okay, I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, you can immediately replace me with someone else."

Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e smiled at each other and said:

"Mom, Dad and I are here to give you some advice, so just relax. We believe you can run the school well."

When Lou's mother saw this, she could only say:
"Okay, just don't blame me for not doing my job well then."

Cao Zhihua smiled happily at Lou’s mother and said:

"No, Mom, why don't we go to the location we chose after lunch and see how it goes?"

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Lou's mother no longer hesitated and said decisively:
"Okay, the food is already being prepared. After dinner, let's go check out the school location first."

"Okay, Mom."
