Chapter 405: Hanging beam stabs the stock
In the future university rankings, Binh Duong University is not expected to rank very high. After all, the domestic university ranking method is based on academic papers. As for the employment rate and income level of graduates after graduation, they have nothing to do with this ranking at all.

As for the QS university rankings created by the UK, there are even more tricks involved. In this ranking, universities in the UK and dozens of Commonwealth regions always rank high.

This list is related to the huge study abroad industry in the UK. The UK really treats studying abroad as a business.

Every year, England ranks its universities at the top of the QS rankings to attract international students to study in England. It offers various one-year graduation programs and even six-month master's programs. Of course, the shorter the study period, the more expensive the tuition fees, with hundreds of thousands of RMB charged for half a year.

It seems that the scale of the study abroad industry in the UK is only 40 to 50 billion pounds, which seems not high, but international students and their parents go to the UK to study with their children, so they have to spend money, right?
As a result, the costs of education agencies, training, housing, catering, travel, consumption, etc. brought to the UK by international students from all over the world are several times more than the tuition fees.

It is true that London's financial industry is the pillar industry of the UK, but what does finance have to do with most ordinary people in the UK? On the contrary, the service industry brought about by studying abroad, including real estate agencies, rentals, tourism, catering, etc., has brought profits and provided jobs to countless companies and families in the UK.

The QS rankings produced by the British Education Consulting Company are, to a certain extent, a tool used by the British to harvest leeks from all over the world. It is unknown how much the people who promote this ranking in China have to do with the British study abroad industry chain...

Binh Duong University has no hope for ranking, unless it does public relations for ranking organizations like QS, or spends money to poach academic paper experts. Every year they have nothing to do but publish water papers. The more water papers they publish, the higher their ranking will be.

But Dongling Hi-Tech's donation to Pingyang University is not for some false reputation or something. Instead of advertising, it is better to announce the employment rate and salary level after employment. When more people in China have been fooled, they will know the importance of these two things. As long as the employment rate of Pingyang University is guaranteed, the influx of talents will naturally increase.

Having received Li Dongling's support and having solved the big problem that was weighing on his mind, Shen Qingyuan was in a good mood. After a few drinks, he became drunk unconsciously.

Seeing that Shen Qingyuan was a little staggering, Li Dongling asked the staff of the resort hotel to take Shen Qingyuan to the hotel room to rest.

After Shen Qingyuan left, only Li Dongling, Li Yan, Du Guoying and Su Chicheng were left at the dinner table. They were all "family members", and the atmosphere became much more lively.

"Mr. Li, Focus Media's revenue report for this year has been submitted to the headquarters!" Li Yan said to Li Dongling.

Although Focus Media is not as close to Dongling Hi-Tech as Feiyan Technology, Dongxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics and other companies, it is indeed a company affiliated with Dongling Hi-Tech and advertises Dongling Hi-Tech's products everywhere.

"Fei Yan Technology, are you really planning to go public on Nasdaq next year?" Li Yan couldn't help asking after clinking glasses with Li Dongling. Du Guoying also cast his gaze over unconsciously.

For countless domestic companies, going public is regarded as the ultimate goal and the hurdle they most want to overcome. Just look at the lengths to which Mr. Duan, the boss of Giant Group, has gone in order to go public.

Li Yan and Du Guoying are no exception. For them, not to mention going to Nasdaq and NYSE, even if they can be listed on the A-share market or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it would be quite good.

Li Dongling glanced at Li Yan and said, "You are really well-informed!"

"How could such a big thing be hidden from the world? Now, financial media in Yanjing have reported that Feiyan Technology has issued stock options to its employees. They are all speculating that Feiyan Technology may be going public!"

Li Yan laughed and said that he also had a foundation in the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters. Li Dongling had supported Li Yan in establishing Focus Media so that Focus Media could promote and publicize Dongling Hi-Tech's products.

Li Yan deals the most with the marketing department of Dongling Hi-Tech, and naturally is very close to Zhang Ao. In the eyes of many people, Li Yan is from Zhang Ao's faction and belongs to the veteran faction of the founders of Dongling Hi-Tech.

Li Yan had also heard those rumors, but he neither admitted nor denied that Li Yan and Zhang Ao were indeed close. After all, Li Yan also needed a supporter for Dongling Hi-Tech's parent company. Just like this time, he could find out some information so that he would not be completely in the dark about the internal affairs of the headquarters.

But if anyone dares to say to him in front of him that he has completely surrendered to Zhang Ao, Li Yan will definitely turn hostile. Li Yan himself knows very well that he can be close to those powerful figures at the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, but his real root in Dongling Hi-Tech will always be only one, and that is Li Dongling!

"It is still unknown. Before Feiyan Technology's listing application is approved by the Nasdaq Management Committee, no one knows what the result will be!"

Li Dongling shook his head and did not open the champagne in advance. Before Feiyan Technology went public, Li Dongling did not dare to jump to conclusion. It still depends on whether Himalaya Internet Radio can make enough noise in America to attract the attention of Americans next year.

"Feiyan Technology is just the beginning. In the future, Focus Media and your Jinmen Yipin Company may have the opportunity to go public. Dongling Hi-Tech will also support you!" Looking at the expressions on Li Yan and Du Guoying's faces, Li Dongling painted a pie in the sky for them, or rather, it can't be called a pie in the sky.

With the speed at which Focus Media is developing, it will be basically a natural thing for TV shopping, advertising text messages and TV variety shows to flourish and for them to go public when the time comes.

As for Du Guoying, Li Dongling has even less to worry about. With his level of deception, no, with his level of marketing master, all the products he launched, Beibeijia, Xiaoguan Tea, Eren Eben, etc., have become popular items. They earn more than many listed companies in the A-share market in a year, so it is not difficult for him to go public.

"Has Beibeijia been developed successfully?" Li Dongling looked at Du Guoying.

"Yes!"

When Du Guoying heard what Li Dongling said, he opened the handbag he had been holding in his hand and took out something that was somewhat similar to a vest, except that it had two cross straps on the back.

"This is our latest product, Beibeijia, which is currently available in five colors: black, white, blue, red and purple. Our R&D department has worked with professional rehabilitation experts from many hospitals to improve the internal aluminum sheet materials and the product's stress-bearing parts, and has also undergone professional medical testing.

Beibeijia is currently positioned as a medical auxiliary device, whose function is to prevent and improve hunchback, sitting posture, and body shape, and is not mainly for treatment!
According to the laboratory tests with the medical team, it is best for the wearer to use the back support every day for half an hour to an hour. The recommended usage period is three months, and it cannot be used continuously for a long time! "

Du Guoying introduced the improved Beibeijia in his hand. In fact, it was somewhat similar to the Beibeijia of later generations. It was different from the ones in the previous life that had only three straps and were sold for three hundred yuan.

Li Dongling looked at the Beibeijia in Du Guoying's hand and asked him, "What is the actual effective rate during the experimental test?"

"This……"

When asked this by Li Dongling, Du Guoying showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. This is like asking those health care product companies that are now hyped up and boasting that they can cure all diseases, how effective their health care products are, and which health care product company dares to say it for sure.

"Among the testers we recruited, with the users' own persistence and the supervision of their parents, some users have improved their posture and sitting position and prevented hunchbacks!"

Du Guoying said tactfully that if you want to know whether Beibeijia is effective or not, it depends on how it is used. It is not actually in the product itself. It is similar to the theory of hanging from the beam and piercing the thigh with a needle.

In fact, Beibeijia serves as a reminder to assist users in developing a healthy sitting posture and forming the habit of keeping their chest and head up. Once a habit is formed, they will be able to maintain their posture in the future. However, the key still depends on the users themselves.

Upon hearing this, Li Dongling and Li Yan also understood something. Beibeijia is just an auxiliary product and cannot be used as a medical device. If it is used reasonably, there is a chance that users can develop a habit of using it. It is indeed useful to some extent, but how much use it has depends on the user's own will.

Just like an alarm clock, it reminds the person who sets it every day not to stay up late and to go to bed early, but whether or not to actually go to bed is not determined by the alarm clock. It is just a tool. We cannot deify a product. The key is to see how the user uses it. Only those who help themselves will be helped by God!

"In addition to the Beibeijia for teenagers, we have also developed Beibeijia for adults. It is suitable for weddings, public occasions, photo shoots and other places. It allows users to appear in public or in front of the camera with a more energetic look!"

"When we did the survey, we found that it is not only the youth market, but also office workers, newlyweds taking wedding photos, and even celebrities traveling, who may also use this product. So we decided to launch two types of Beibeijia, one for teenagers and one for adults!"

Du Guoying added that it was no use just targeting families with children, this time he was also targeting the adult market.

When Li Dongling heard Du Guoying's words, his eyes paused for a moment. He knew that Du Guoying was good at cutting leeks, but he didn't expect that he was so good at it.

In its previous life, Beibeijia had a bad reputation. After being silent for many years, it began to try to develop the adult market. After being endorsed by celebrities, the effect was amazing, and it began to appear in the hands of adults. Those who escaped the first sickle that year still couldn't escape the second sickle.

Now Du Guoying threw out the trump card at once, ready to take over the entire market. Li Dongling wondered if Du Guoying had really listened to the promise he made to him about being a Confucian businessman...
