I lied to my parents and got into a prestigious school, so I built my own top school.

Chapter 19 Have you met a liar?

Zhang Hai was stunned when he heard Guo Dihui's words.

One billion is not enough, so how much is enough?

You know, the sanitation department has to come up with this billion, which is already tightening the belt.

Even the report had to be filed several times. Zhang Hai personally went to Handan's senior management several times and explained the difficulties over the years with tears in his eyes many times before the senior management allowed it to be approved.

It took a lot of effort to approve this billion, but the other party said it was not enough.

You know, the reason why the senior management approved this money was also audited by many parties.

The audit process was very strict and this number was finally determined.

If you want to raise the price again, it is basically impossible.

But at this time, Zhang Hai could only stabilize his emotions, and solving the problem was the most important thing.

Moreover, if the other party's asking price is not too much higher than one billion, there should still be room for negotiation.

At most, if you go to the top and cry about poverty, you will be in trouble and the entire sanitation department will be in poverty for a year and a half.

As long as the problem of water pollution in Mingshan is dealt with, everything will be easy.

"Professor Guo, how much do you mean it will cost?"

Zhang Hai took a deep breath and asked slowly.

"I conducted multiple inquiries and surveys on the water source pollution in Mingshan. My team, my students and I finally estimated that this number is needed!"

Guo Dihui stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Zhang Hai.

"Another two hundred million?"

Zhang Hai was shocked. Let alone 200 million, it would be difficult to come up with another 100 million now.

However, there is still some hope that the two hundred million can be collected.

If we discuss it again, maybe we don’t need to add 200 million.

"Director Zhang, I'm not talking about adding 200 million."

"Secondly, one billion is not enough, we want two billion!"

Guo Dihui said, casually pulling up a chair and sitting on it with his legs crossed.

His students and assistants who came with him consciously stood around him.

After listening to Guo Dihui's quotation, he looked at the arrogant crowd opposite.

Zhang Hai's eyelids twitched slightly.

Two billion, money grabbing!
  Zhang Hai also understood that the other party must know that after so long and many people and teams, the problem of water pollution in Mingshan has not been solved.

Now that it was clear that he was using this to tease himself, the lion opened his mouth.

However, there was nothing I could do.

"Professor Guo, you are a top expert in environmental pollution control."

"We also know that managing Mingshan is extremely difficult and costly."

"Over the years, our environmental sanitation department has spent huge sums of money on governance, and this billion is the last fund we can spare."

"I hope you can understand our difficulties."

Having said this, Zhang Hai looked quietly at Guo Dihui, who was sitting opposite.

"Director Zhang, I don't have to want these two billion."

"You also said that management is very difficult and expensive. With so many people in our team, we devote ourselves to our work, so we can't just end up managing it for you."

“Furthermore, we cannot delay the control of water pollution.”

"If we delay for one more day, the damage to the environment will be greater. By then, if the environment has further deteriorated, the cost of treatment may exceed 2 billion."

Guo Dihui's words stabbed Zhang Hai's lungs again.

He is right. With continuous treatment over the years, more and more money has been spent, but the pollution has become more and more serious.

Nowadays, Mingshan has been reduced to a desperate situation. If it continues, it will become a dead mountain completely.

"If it's two billion, I need to apply to the senior management, and it may take some time."    "Let's talk about something else first!"

At this time, Zhang Hai could only delay it by applying to the senior management.

"No rush, we can wait slowly!"

Guo Dihui looked at Zhang Hai with a smile on his face.

Zhang Hai's face was a little dark. He really didn't expect that the professors and experts from the dignified provincial research institute would actually take advantage of the situation.

If it weren't for nothing, Zhang Hai would have driven people away by now.

The atmosphere in the office was a little awkward, and the two sides fell into a brief stalemate.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, He Mei quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Oh, Professor Guo, we are very happy that you can come, and you have brought so many students."

"Presumably all of them are elite talents and will be the pillars of Great Xia in the future."

"I am lucky enough to meet your students. They are serious and responsible in their work. I think it must be the result of your careful education."

He Mei thought of Yang Ge and then looked at the students surrounding Guo Dihui, and she couldn't help but compare them in her mind.

The students surrounding Guo Dihui were all dressed up and looked arrogant.

Their ages range from 20 to 40 years old, but their style is not as good as that of the younger-looking Yang Ge.

"You all should introduce yourselves, and let Director Zhang see our strength."

Guo Dihui said proudly.

The oldest student spoke first.

"My name is Jerry Wu. I graduated from Columbia University in Amelia with double doctorate degrees."

Immediately, another thin student answered.

"My name is William Cao. I graduated from Daiying's University of Cambridge and also received a double doctorate degree."

"My name is Leard, I graduated from..."

……

A group of more than a dozen students all briefly introduced themselves.

But Zhang Hai felt more and more unhappy the more he heard it.

None of these people came from universities in Daxia.

What makes Zhang Hai feel even more uncomfortable is that these people are obviously from Daxia and have surnames from Daxia, but their names are foreign names.

Zhang Hai believed that their original names were definitely not like this, but they changed their names to Xia Buxia and Yang Buyang.

This is the tragedy of Daxia education!
  Zhang Hai sighed in his heart. Unfortunately, he was in charge of sanitation work, not education. For this, he could only sigh in his heart.

"Very good, I hope you can all become experts in environmental governance under the leadership of Professor Guo."

"Contribute to protecting the environment of Daxia."

Having said this, Zhang Hai really doesn't know what else to say or write.

Seeing that Zhang Hai didn't speak, He Mei could only think of ways to continue talking.

"By the way, Professor Guo, can you tell us about the student you sent to Mingshan to investigate in advance?"

"I see that he is so young, and you let him come alone first. You must be very fond of him, right?"

Guo Dihui glanced at He Mei in surprise, and then at the students around him.

"Which student are you talking about? All my students are here? Why were you sent to investigate in advance? Did you make a mistake?"

"How could there be a mistake? One of your students investigated the water pollution situation in Mingshan yesterday, and is now reading files in the archives. Wasn't he sent by you?"

He Mei was stunned and then said.

"When did I send students here? Did you encounter a liar?"
