Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 310: Chen Zhuo and the school leaders' affairs (asking for monthly tickets)

As for Chen Zhe now, facing the stubborn Dean Shu, he seems to be trying to force the sale.

There is no way around it. The modern business world is full of twists and turns. If relationships are only maintained by personal connections, it will seem a bit fragile.

Sometimes, blood ties other than those from parents are not that useful in business wars.

The best way is to form a community of interests, that is, when I make money, it is equivalent to when you make money.

Or if you want something, I can find a way to provide it.

Only in this way can the cooperative relationship be long-lasting and promote social harmony and stability.

So Dean Shu didn't want it, but Chen relied on his familiarity with the university's operating system and his grasp of people's greed and planned to give away the shares of the real estate agency for free.

President Shu is a man of high moral integrity, but can he guarantee that all school leaders are as incorruptible as he is?
Chen even planned to ask Secretary Huang Yi of the Youth League Committee and Director Wang Ji of the Development Planning Office to help mediate and make sure the school accepted his "sincere kindness".

Of course, the wording is just some polite words like "give back to the school for its help, don't forget the people who dug the well when you drink the water..." and so on.

Then, you can take out a loan.

"Hey……"

Shu Yuan obviously realized Chen Zhuo's plan and sighed deeply.

Gazing at the gradually darkening night, with the twinkling stars dim and unclear, Dean Shu felt as if he was being "held up" for a moment.

To be honest, if Shu Yuan refused to accept Chen Zhuo's kindness, the school would also consider the dean's opinion carefully.

But what is the point of doing this?

What other result could there be other than complaints from the most outstanding students of this year's Lingyuan Academy?
In the minds of students, the most famous student in Lingyuan and even in the entire freshman year should be Song Shiwei.

At present, there are more than ten thousand comments on the BBS post about her military training photos, and there are still people checking in on time every day for the school beauty Song.

But from a teacher's perspective, Chen Zhuo's actions are what best embody the word "business" of Lingnan Business School.

It's just that he was so low-key that many people in the school only knew that he set up a tutoring website and nothing else.

Dean Shu was wondering whether to accept this free cake with additional conditions. At 7 o'clock in the evening, all the lights on campus lit up.

For a moment, the entire campus looked like a luminous pearl inlaid on the ground.

Dean Shu also felt that the corner of his eye seemed to light up, and he looked over subconsciously.

Outside the window, I saw the vigorously intertwined branches under the light, and their sparse shadows lay obliquely on the ground. A cool breeze blew, and the dead leaves fell one after another.

It's as unrestrained as fireworks floating in the air, like the loneliness of winter, but also contains a little hope of spring, with a kind of open-minded artistic conception of "the east wind blows thousands of flowers in the night, and blows down stars like rain".

At this moment, Dean Shu suddenly came to his senses.

I seemed to be obsessed and felt that Chen Zhe was my student, so I didn't want to break certain principles that I had followed in teaching.

But if we put aside their respective identities and simply look at it from a business perspective, this is a collaboration that satisfies both parties.

Real estate agency is a good investment direction, and the school will definitely not lose money;

You can also get the loan you want by tracing back and boldly complete the layout in all aspects.

As long as I always maintain my original intention in this cooperation, do not abuse my power for personal gain, and do not accept any benefits from students.

First, as the chairman of CUHK Ventures, I will increase the benefits for the company and the school;
As a scholar, Shu Yuan watched Chen Zhuo's development plan for the company and wanted to see whether students like Chen Zhuo were the product of the times or had the talent to navigate the business world.
Last but not least, as a teacher, you can also supervise your own students.

Shu Yuan discovered that Chen's courage was seriously inconsistent with his appearance. He looked like a handsome scholar, and there was always a smile on his fair face when he spoke.

In fact, Chen's approach to doing things is very large. Things like what happened today, if they are serious, can be said to be hovering in the gray area.

Although the real estate industry is a bottomless quagmire, Shu Yuan still hopes that his students can stay clean and untainted.

Therefore, joining in can also serve as a reminder.

With this idea in mind, Shu Yuan didn't feel so uncomfortable with Chen Zhuo's request for cooperation.

After thinking for a while, he asked in his capacity as the chairman of Zhongda Venture Capital: "How many shares can this real estate agency allocate to the school?"

"Ok?"

Chen Zhuo didn't know why Dean Shu suddenly became less stubborn.

But this is the best way, as it saves me from having to go to the school leaders, and I may even have to trouble Director Wang to help mediate.

As for the distribution of shares in the agency company, Director Wan Daqu asked for 25% alone, and Wang Youqing took 7%.

Of the remaining 68%, Chen alone must account for more than 50%.

What makes him different from other entrepreneurs is that many entrepreneurs now only want to hold the largest share and do not attach much importance to whether it is more than 50%.

Because once listed, with the dilution of equity, the largest individual shareholder may have less than 10%.

Ma Huateng and Liu Qiangdong each own about 10% of the shares in these companies, and Jack Ma owns even less.

But it won’t work, at least not now.

He knows the trend of social development and has strong confidence and ability, so if he cannot hold more than 50% of the shares alone or together with his girlfriend, he would rather not do this project.

Because Chen Zhuo is unwilling to argue with others about the company's development path, he must take a dominant position to ensure that every step can catch up with the trend of the times.

So apart from his own 50%, there are also 32% from Wan Daqudong and Wang Youqing. Chen Zhe can also give out 18% of the agency company's shares as a way to give away money.

But the 18% obviously couldn't be given to the school. Chen had a plan in mind. He said, "I can give out 10% of the shares and ask the school to manage it on my behalf."

"Management on behalf of others" is just a nice-sounding term, it actually means giving it away for free.

"Then……"

Chen Zhuo continued, "There is still 5% left, which I plan to give to the dean's office of Lingyuan as activity funds."

What does this mean?

10% was given to the school, and he had no say on how the school used it.

But this 5% is specifically for Shu Yuan, and the so-called "Dean's Office" is also a term.

The dean's office only has a reason to exist when the dean is in office. Chen said this, but it didn't sound so blatant.

Shu Yuan obviously understood Chen Zhuo's subtext, which was another exchange of interests.

Dean Shu pondered for a moment, and said in a very serious and sincere tone: "Chen Zhuo, don't mention these things again in the future. I understand your concerns, but I also have the moral principles that I abide by as a teacher."

Chen was slightly stunned.

Dean Shu ignored Chen Zhuo's shock and said to himself, "I just want to see how far Su Hui can go. [College students] entrepreneurship is a topic worth exploring. It interests me more than money and things."

"I'm sorry, Dean Shu."

Chen apologized with some embarrassment.

"It's not your fault."

Shu Yuan waved his hand and said, "These are the operating rules of all industries. You are just doing things within the rules."

Chen didn't know how to respond, and Dean Shu suddenly felt a little melancholy, with a hint of inexplicable disappointment.

This disappointment is not directed at Chen Zhuo, but at the current society, where money and power are the bones and relationships are the flesh, forming a pathological and turbid environment.

So both of them fell silent until a group of students who had just finished playing basketball walked by the bottom of the building.

The sound of the basketball hitting the ground, "bang, bang," and the rhythmic tapping sound was like a light drum beating on the heart, which made both of them break away from this emo mood.

"Whoo~"

Dean Shu pushed his glasses and let out a long sigh.

Chen Zhe, this student, undoubtedly has strong social activities ability and is well versed in all these interpersonal relationships.

As expected, once the most difficult issue of funding was resolved, it would be easy for him to cross the class barrier.

But the good news is that he is still a student of CUHK and his own student.

Compared with those other unfamiliar wealthy people, it is better to help Chen Zhe. At least he can play a certain role of supervision and advice.

"I gave 10% to the school, but I don't want the 5% but it's useful to me..."

Dean Shu suddenly said to Chen Zhuo: "Do you believe me?"

Chen Zhuo smiled and said, "When it comes to entrepreneurship, even my parents don't know as much as you do. I trust you 100%."

Shu Yuan didn't say anything more, but ordered him to leave: "You go back first, I will inform you if there is any news."

Chen Zhuo did not show any hesitation and insisted that Dean Shu give him a clear answer.

He stood up and left the office. At this time, there were no people in the MBA Administration Building. Walking in the empty hall on the first floor, he seemed to hear the echo of footsteps from another world. He felt a little depressed.

It was not until I walked out of the administrative building that a gust of cold wind blew in my face, blowing away the depression in my heart.

Chen couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

The light was still on in Dean Shu's office, and the towering MBA administrative building looked majestic under the deep blue sky.

Like a touch of righteousness from heaven and earth, it stands coldly in this chaotic world.

"I am indeed a vulgar official."

Chen laughed at himself in his heart.

Dean Shu and Professor Zeng Kun are a bit similar, both have an ideal utopia in their hearts.

However, there are more differences.

Professor Zeng Kun was so obsessed with "utopia" that it was difficult for him to extricate himself from it. Before he met Chen Zhe, his real life was a mess.

Dean Shu is not only able to distinguish between reality and ideals, but most importantly, although he himself does not profit from those petty schemes, he is able to handle and respond well when his work involves these gray areas.

To sum it up in one simple sentence: I understand, I do it, but I don’t do it for myself.

……

When he was chatting on the phone with Yu Xian in the evening, Yu Xian asked him what he was doing that afternoon?
Chen answered and listened to the teachings of a very wise teacher.

Yu Xian asked with a smile, Director Chen, what are your insights? Do you plan to learn from that teacher?
Chen said, no, I'd better continue to be a vulgar person.

Dean Shu has his own beliefs. First, he is a scholar and a teacher, and his thoughts have been purified to a certain level.

Secondly, he has a certain social status and has the capital to persist in this belief.

If Chen Zhuo is a good person with high moral character, it is very likely that everything he has now will soon be swallowed up by the capital market.

Wang Youqing, a big gangster, was able to discuss cooperation with Chen Zhuo on an equal footing, wasn't it because beneath Chen Zhuo's gentle and amiable appearance, he occasionally revealed a ruthlessness and decisiveness that was frightening to see.

Therefore, Chen Zhuo thought it would be better to be a hypocritical layman. At least when he was greedy, he would not have so many moral obstacles.

But then again, Chen Zhuo felt that Dean Shu's personality would make him a good doctoral supervisor, but not necessarily an excellent chairman.

What Chen Zhuo said was indeed correct. President Shu has been managing Sun Yat-sen University Venture Capital for many years. Backed by a 985 university ranked in the top ten in the country, its development has been lukewarm.

There may be many reasons, but it should also have a lot to do with Dean Shu’s conflicted mentality of “struggling in the quagmire, not wanting to face it but having to face it.”

……

For the next two or three days, the CUHK campus seemed calm on the surface.

As the final exams are approaching, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and students who are admitted to CUHK basically do not want to fail.

But on a forum like campus BBS where people talk about everything, it is always very lively.

After all, gossip is human nature, especially for college students in their 20s. The greater the review pressure, the more they need to vent their emotions.

Amidst the lines of Nikkei posts such as "Looking for a meal card, can I still take the postgraduate entrance exam if I fail a test, looking for a girlfriend to go home to see my parents during the Chinese New Year...", this one suddenly popped up:
"I work part-time in the school's Party Committee Office. Recently, I often see a junior student coming to see Principal Luo, and Principal Luo even talks and laughs with him!"

The replies below are also varied.

First floor: No way, I remember Principal Luo was a very serious person. How could he talk and laugh with students?

Second floor: Bench, Long Chuanxiong, Class of 2007, School of Life Sciences, sincerely invites a beautiful lady to dinner.

Third floor: If it's Long Chuanxiong upstairs, I'll eat shit. What kind of thing requires Principal Luo to personally meet with a college student?

Fourth floor: Maybe it’s about saving the earth.

……

Normally, a post like this, with no quarrels, no revelations, and no tips on getting high TOEFL scores, should have been buried soon.

Soon, another post about "Principal Luo and the mysterious junior" appeared, this time with a more eye-catching title:

"Did you see that? Tonight, Principal Luo, Principal Xu, and Dean Shu of Lingyuan are having dinner with a junior student in the cafeteria at Kangleyuan!"

First floor: Sofa. I saw it too. I was totally stunned. The three giants of CUHK were having dinner with a student?
Second floor: Is this true? I didn’t go to the recreation park tonight. Could it be that the son of the secretary of the Guangdong Province came to inspect Zhongda?
Third floor: Not really. The secretary's son is at least 20 or years old, and this junior looks less than . And the three giants didn't accompany him for dinner, it seemed more like they just had a casual meal together after talking about this point.

Fourth floor: Being able to discuss things with the Big Three is not easy at all. Who is this little hero?

Fifth floor: I am a freshman in the insurance class of Lingyuan University. I know who this person is. We have taken classes together. His name is Chen Zhe.

Sixth floor: Is this Chen Zhuo who founded the learning website?

……

Finally, the identity of the “little hero” was finally exposed thanks to the forum’s powerful human flesh function.

He is really the boy who founded the CUHK Learning Network, was the monitor of the freshman economics class at Lingnan College, and often had meals with the school beauty Song - Chen Zhe.

Chen Zhuo didn't know that he was starting to move from behind the scenes to the forefront on campus in this way.

After active communication by President Shu over the past two days, Principal Luo and Principal Xu expressed their appreciation for Chen's behavior of "giving benefits to the school."

Of course, the two school leaders were also confused at first, and this is when President Shu’s role came into play.

He said that the real estate agency project would definitely not make a loss, and the planning and construction plan was relatively detailed. It would depend on the ability and impact during operation to determine how much profit could be made.

Moreover, Chen Zhuo unconditionally donated 10% of his shares to the school, and with 5% of the share profits, he planned to set up a subsidy fund for poor students.

This is why President Shu wants this 5% stake.

If the project is profitable, it can help many poor students solve tuition and food problems.

Principal Luo and Principal Xu were both very pleased to hear this, although it might be considered empty talk as the project has not yet been launched.

But Shu Yuan, who understands economics, said that this project will not lose money, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Chen, this student, did not let down the previous support and expectations for him.

However, Chen Zhuo also had a small request, which was to seek support from a batch of low-interest loans. Dean Shu secretly helped Chen Zhuo here again.

He said the loan would be used to develop the CUHK learning network.

In fact, Dean Shu did not know the specific purpose, but using the booming learning network as the application subject would be relatively easier to pass.

Chen Zhu also knew what to do. First, the loan had to be transferred through the account of the learning network.

Secondly, the collateral for the loan is the Zhongda Learning Network. If the loan cannot be repaid in the future, the holder of the "Zhongda Learning Network" will truly become "Zhongda".

This is a win-win cooperation, and the school party committee quickly reviewed and passed the resolution.

The school earned 10% of the intermediary company's shares and 5% of the dividends for free, and at the same time became a creditor of Zhongda Learning Network.

Chen Zhu obtained a low-interest loan and further won the favor of Principals Luo and Xu.

As for the vice president of the Agricultural Bank of China, that was the "extra interest" that the two school leaders liked, and he was just helping to make connections. Principal Luo and Principal Xu were both happy to do so.

Finally, as those students saw, Chen Zhe frequently went in and out of the principal's office these two days, but he was actually just signing some contracts.

But in everyone's eyes, it felt very wrong.

Chen Zhuo's classmates, his roommates from 520, his colleagues in the Student Union's Publicity and Counseling Department, and even the head teacher of the Economics class, Xu Qingcheng, and the counselor, Fu Qianling...

They were reserved, joking, and scratching their heads, trying to find out the reason.

Even when Song Shiwei was in the dormitory, Cong Ni observed Song Shiwei's expression and asked tentatively: "Weiwei, do you know what news is circulating in the school recently?"

Song Shiwei raised his head from the computer, rubbed his fair wrist, and looked at Cong Ni with a hint of inquiry.

Cong Ni smiled and said, "Everyone says Chen is planning to buy the school. He has been busy negotiating the price with Principal Luo recently."

"goose……"

Several female roommates started laughing. It seemed that Chen's relationship with the school beauty Song in the dormitory was about to come to light.

"Really."

Song Shiwei nodded lightly, his eyelids drooping like a small fan, covering his calm expression.

It turns out that they were going to buy the school.

Yeah.

No wonder you rarely contacted me these two days.
