Chapter 269: The school needs to find new sources of income

Han Songlin didn't say anything. He hadn't thought that the school would look like this. There wasn't much concrete used in the whole school.

The playground, at least, wasn't made of concrete, but cinder blocks.

Han Songlin took a step and jumped directly onto the classroom steps.

When the school was built, the foundations of the classrooms were raised to prevent flooding during heavy rain.

The height is about a metre.

It is all made of bluestone blocks.

To be honest, the whole school looks very historical and heavy.

Han Songlin stood by the classroom window. The material of the window is not mentioned, but it must be made of wood.

There must have been glass in these wooden windows before, but now there is only glass at the top.

Anyway, the lower the grade level, the faster the glass breaks.

The classrooms that have remained in good condition are definitely the high school classrooms.

Because high school students generally don't like to play around, they don't even bother to leave the classroom after class.

Except to go to the bathroom, they just stay in the classroom.

I don't know if this is still the case with high school students nowadays.

The desks in the classroom are also wooden desks that have been used for an unknown period of time.

The tops of these desks are also full of art, carved with pits and bumps.

Some of the carvings are very well done, with chickens, ducks, geese, and other animals, and even dragons can be found.

There are relatively few carvings of dragons and phoenixes, but in Han Songlin's memory, he saw a desk with a partially-carved dragon.

It all looked so familiar.

Liu Yuyan also came up to have a look at the classroom, but then she felt that there was nothing to see.

Classrooms should be just like this.

'What are you going to do next?'

Han Songlin said, 'The teaching environment is indeed a bit poor, but that's fine, we have the money. After the New Year, we'll build a new teaching building, and each class will have small class teaching, with a maximum of 35 students in a class, and the regular teacher will teach two classes of students.

If there are two classes, he can handle it no matter what.

Han Songlin also knows that there are a lot of meetings at school, and in the future, he has to reduce the burden on the teachers.

As for reducing the burden on elementary school students?

When Han Songlin was in school, he never felt that elementary school was a burden.

Well, except for the summer and winter vacations, when you have to finish your homework before the holidays!

"You also have to learn English, art, music, physical education, and computers.'

Computers are very valuable nowadays.

To protect the computers, the school now requires students to wear booties when entering the computer classroom, so as not to bring dust into the classroom and into the computers.

'She'll learn it here. I can't teach her at other schools, and I want her to learn what I want her to learn.' Han Songlin doesn't expect Han Ting to be outstanding, or to take over the family business in the future.

Money is just a number to him.

When Bitcoin came out in 2009, Han Songlin entered the market right from the start and got his hands on hundreds of thousands of coins. He waited until 2021 to sell them, when a single coin would be enough for the down payment on a house.

It was incredibly expensive!

Liu Yuyan said, 'I'm not opposed to building a school, but it's going to cost a lot of money. I've heard that several factories aren't even making any money right now!'

Han Songlin put his arm around Liu Yuyan's waist: 'Don't worry, making money is no problem for your husband and me!'

'Don't brag!'

'When have you ever seen me brag? Let me tell you, anything I say will come true in the future.'

Liu Yuyan agreed: 'Well, I know, you're a man's man, a man of your word!'

Although she said that, it sounded strange coming from Liu Yuyan.

Han Songlin narrowed his eyes slightly: 'Are you being sarcastic with me?'

'My lord, how dare I!'

'Hmph, I'll deal with you when we get home.'

There was nothing to see at the Red Star Middle School dormitory and cafeteria.

They had been built a long time ago.

The dormitory, in particular, looked like it had been built in the 1980s.

During that time period, the factory's financial situation was quite good, and it had the money to invest in the school.

If the Red Star Middle School were to build a new teaching building in the future, there would be no suitable place on campus.

It seems that the school will have to be expanded.

Fortunately, Hongxing Middle School is not located in the centre of the city.

Although there are farms in the surrounding area, there are also large open spaces.

After returning home, Han Songlin called Fuxing Power and asked to notify the principal of Hongxing Middle School to come to a meeting at Fuxing Power the next day.

Rong Hongshun was a little puzzled by Han Songlin's sudden concern about Hongxing Middle School.

The school is doing well now, is there a problem?

Hurry up and ask someone to go and find the principal of Hongxing Middle School.

The principal of Hongxing Middle School used to work at the factory and was transferred to be the principal of Hongxing Middle School.

Over the years, he has been at Hongxing Middle School, allowing the school to develop smoothly. There is nothing much to do, and Rong Hongshun has always been quite satisfied.

As for the school, he doesn't expect anything earth-shattering, just stability.

Moreover, Hongxing Middle School is quite good in terms of academic performance.

Otherwise, why would so many students want to go to Hongxing Middle School?

Because the school has good teaching results.

In recent years, in particular, there have been more wealthy people, and naturally they pay a lot of attention to their children's education.

So it's normal to want your child to go to a good school.

If you want to go to a good school, you have to pay a bit of money or something.

Schools charging school selection fees and the like have become the main source of income for many schools.

Special high schools, because they can collect a large amount of school selection fees every year, directly seek bank loans to build new teaching buildings and the like.

Is this operation okay?

Many schools have developed through this method.

In the future, Hongxing Middle School can also operate in this way.

It can recruit students with good academic performance, and then students below the cut-off score who want to enter the school can pay the school selection fee according to their scores, with the fee being calculated based on the number of points they are short of the cut-off score.

There can also be a division into upper and lower levels. Anyway, the worse the grades, the more money you have to pay to get into the school.

Han Songlin knows that some people went to pay this school selection fee directly with a sack.

It's so generous.

After returning home, Han Songlin wrote down the school's development plan.

It's not much, just about how to get money for the school in the future.

It can be used when recruiting new students this year. In this way, the school can operate without having to rely on Fortune Star Power to subsidise it.

A positive financial cycle and school development can be formed.

Of course, if you want to run a good school and attract more parents to send their children here, then the school must have its own characteristics.

Han Songlin doesn't want to run a factory for the college entrance exam.

However, cultivating students' self-discipline and hardworking spirit is essential.

How do you cultivate it?

Just stick to one thing, and practice martial arts directly.

Or, it can be other professional sports training.

Just playing is definitely not enough.

You will lose your ambition if you play with things, and this must be clear.
