"It's fine. It's only natural to be curious. Still, no matter how you plan, it always boils down to pretty much the same things. As for the financial commitment, we invested 500 million in the first phase, and added another 200 million later on, bringing the total to 700 million. The plan is to build as many charity schools, dormitories, sports fields, libraries, and similar facilities as possible in those resource-poor mountainous areas. We also want to open up roads connecting those remote mountain regions to the outside world. But none of this work is easy. Just transporting building materials is a huge headache, and then there's the massive effort required to secure a teaching staff once the schools are built! Once those issues are sorted out, I'm hoping to see if we can set up health stations—well, a full hospital is out of the question since it involves too many complexities and just isn't realistic, so we'll have to settle for establishing health stations with barely adequate conditions out there in the mountains. Then there's the signal issue I mentioned earlier. If the authorities leave it alone, we'll find a way to get mobile signal coverage to those places ourselves! That pretty much sums up the initial phase of our planning."
Ye Chen explained in a calm, steady stream.
Yet the figure of 700 million made Wu Kaiji's mouth twitch.
