Reborn since 1993

Chapter 549 Name Change
Hearing Yao Zhengru's words, Li Dongling nodded. Based on Li Dongling's understanding of this future "father-in-law", he would definitely do what he promised.

In other words, anyone who has ambitions in politics and a career in politics will do what he says and fulfill his promises to his allies and supporters. Even if he fails to fulfill them, he will show it. This is responsibility. If someone in the official career does not even have responsibility, who would dare to believe what he says?
It is true that there are old foxes who are good at getting along with everyone and can hold high positions, but generally no one dares to bet on him. Once he leaves, his family and accumulated power will basically fall apart.

The most famous example is the Alliance of Luoshui. Sima Yi had a great time, but since then, no aristocratic family in the entire Central Plains was willing to form an alliance with the Sima family. No aristocratic family was willing to work for the Sima family. After all, who knows if they will be sold out by the Sima family the next day!

Usually when a dynasty comes to an end, there will always be some die-hard fans who will emerge and try to turn the tide. When a dynasty dies, people will feel sorry for it. But in the case of Jin, no one felt sorry for the Sima family. Some people even couldn't help celebrating.

In the end, the fate of the Sima family was just as Sima Yi had vowed at the Luo River. The entire family, young and old, including chickens and dogs, were slaughtered, even the egg yolks were shaken apart, and the ants were chopped vertically, for fear of leaving a single one alive.

The food was served, and Li Dongling, Yao Zhengru, Shen Qingyuan, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Gao Peng and others all raised their glasses.

"Dongling Hi-Tech has won a lot of big projects in America this time. Feiyan Technology is about to become the first company in Pingyang to be listed on NASDAQ. We should celebrate!"

Yao Zhengru raised his glass and said that Feiyan Technology's listing on NASDAQ would not only cause the net worth of both large and small shareholders to skyrocket.

For Pingyang and even the Hanxi Provincial Government, this is also an achievement. Supporting a company to become the first company in the country to be listed on NASDAQ is a first in the country. For the Pingyang Municipal Government, this is also a huge achievement.

The listing of Feiyan Technology will bring not only fame but also benefits. In the future, people from Pingyang Municipal Government will be able to brag about this when they are interviewed by the media. When they go to the provincial capital or even Yanjing to report, they will be more confident than others.

"Feiyan Technology's successful application for NASDAQ is inseparable from the support of Pingyang City Government and Hanxi Provincial Government. Without the support of Yao City, Feiyan Technology would probably not be so successful!"

Ren Yuefeng also praised the Pingyang Municipal Government. In the future, Dongling Hi-Tech and Pingyang Municipal Government will have to deal with each other for many years, not to mention the relationship between Yao Zhengru and Li Dongling. Dongling Hi-Tech and Feiyan Technology will definitely need to praise Pingyang Municipal Government in front of the media.

After three rounds of drinks, the president of Pingyang University, Shen Qingyuan, said to Li Dongling, "Mr. Li, Pingyang University is having its new semester start. We would like to invite you to attend the opening ceremony as a guest speaker. What do you think?"

This year, Binh Duong University is definitely a standout among all the universities in Hanxi. It has been in the news for a long time, distributing scholarships, making promises, and threatening to find jobs for graduates of parallel universities, and even allow them to directly enter companies such as Dongling Hi-Tech to earn high salaries.

There are various other news, such as awarding large scholarships to students with excellent grades, installing air conditioning and heating in the entire dormitory area, and giving pig's trotters to every student in the cafeteria. In short, there are all kinds of news.

The main reason for the emergence of these news is that Pingyang University has upgraded its weapons. Starting this year, it seems to be rich and powerful. Only with funds can it do things!
Starting this year, the funding for Pingyang University began to be mainly borne by Dongling Hi-Tech and Pingyang Municipal Government, instead of being allocated by Hanxi Education Department as before. This suddenly made the funding for Pingyang University sufficient.

Now it is Binh Yang University, and more than 60% of its funding is donated by a number of local companies in Binh Yang. Among them, Dongling Hi-Tech alone bears nearly half of the funding for the entire Binh Yang University.

Feiyan Technology, Changling Air Conditioning, Hongtashan and other local Pingyang companies, together with the Pingyang Municipal Government, bear nearly 30% of the funding for Pingyang University.

Shen Qingyuan would ask for the remaining ten percent of the funds from the Hanxi Education Department and the Hanxi Provincial Government. If he could get the funds, that would naturally be a good thing, but if he couldn't, he wouldn't feel bad.

Anyway, the funding of Binh Yang University this year has increased five or six times compared to last year. Only with money can we build new teaching buildings, purchase new teaching equipment, and build new student and faculty dormitories, and only then can we recruit doctors and professors from other universities to teach at Binh Yang University!

Shen Qingyuan would definitely have to build relationships with the big money sponsor. It would be impossible for the big money sponsor to spend money but have no experience at all. After all, this is not a one-time deal, and Dongling Hi-Tech will need to donate generously every year in the future.

Although Pingyang University is the only university in the local area, it is unacceptable for Dongling Hi-Tech not to support Pingyang University, but Shen Qingyuan knows that the relationship with Dongling Hi-Tech must be maintained!
Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao and others couldn't help but feel a little envious when they heard Shen Qingyuan's invitation to Li Dongling.

Being invited by a university to give a speech is definitely a symbol of success. Generally, only "successful people" can enjoy such treatment. It represents fame, social status, influence, etc. This is the same as returning home in glory.

Ren Yuefeng and his colleagues have not yet received any invitation to give speeches at their alma mater or other universities.

"Principal Shen has invited me so kindly, I can't refuse it, but I hope I won't disappoint him!" Li Dongling thought for a while and said. Shen Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh a few times, "I don't know how many students in Pingyang are looking forward to meeting Mr. Li. If this news is announced, I'm afraid all the places to attend Mr. Li's speech will be taken up!"

Shen Qingyuan knew very well that it was not easy to invite Li Dongling to give a speech. Li Dongling had not accepted many public interviews and speeches in recent years.

Given Li Dongling's current status, it is basically a foregone conclusion that he will retain his position as the richest man in China this year. Judging from the wave of thousands of people going into the special economic zones in recent years, Li Dongling has surpassed Giant's boss Shi, Kingsoft's Lei Jun, Bill Gates and others, and has become the number one idol touted by countless entrepreneurs and young people in China.

If the news spreads that Li Dongling is going to Pingyang to give a speech, not to mention Pingyang University, people from other universities will probably flock to Pingyang University to try their luck at meeting one of the top 20 richest men in Asia and see if they can learn the secret of getting rich. What if they get some guidance from Li and become millionaires?

Although everyone knows that it is nonsense to think that one can gain enlightenment and become a millionaire by listening to a speech, countless people are still eager to try. What if? What if they get some guidance and gain enlightenment, and find the opportunity to make a fortune?

It's like the various success books and celebrity memoirs that are bestsellers around the world every year. If you read success books and follow the experiences of the people in the books, you can become successful and have a net worth of over 10 million. Wouldn't that mean wealthy people are mass-produced? Everyone understands this logic, but every year there are still countless people who diligently read these toxic chicken soup for the soul.

"Principal Shen, I have an unwelcome request, and I hope you can support me!"

Li Dongling agreed to attend the speech. In fact, he had something else and needed help from Shen Qingyuan and Pingyang University.

"Please speak, Mr. Li!"

Shen Qingyuan said, and couldn't help speculating in his heart what Li Dongling wanted to tell him. Pingyang University was just starting out, and if it wanted to become a famous domestic university, it would take another 10 to 20 years, and it absolutely could not lose the funding and support from Dongling Hi-Tech.

“I hope that Binh Duong University can change the name of the semiconductor major that was just established this year to Lin Chih-Chien Semiconductor College!”

This is what Li Dongling promised to Lin Qijian, to name a semiconductor college after him and give Lin Qijian the highest treatment in the global semiconductor industry.

Compared with other universities, the operation at Pingyang University is a bit more convenient. Now many universities are still a bit "aloof", or in other words, it is not so easy to make adjustments, and they are not willing to do these tricks easily.

Last year, when Li Dongling and Shen Qingyuan reached an agreement on Dongling Hi-Tech's support for Binh Yang University, they required Binh Yang University to set up several flagship majors, or in other words, to set up customized majors for Dongling Hi-Tech, specifically to train professional talents for Dongling Hi-Tech.

Before Pingyang University, there were no particularly strong majors. Although the teaching level was not bad, there was no major where graduates would be snatched up by major units and companies.

Among the majors jointly established by Dongling Hi-Tech and Binh Duong University, the two most important majors are communications engineering and semiconductors. These two majors have just started in China and there are not many top talents.

If Pingyang University can make these two majors the best in the country, then Dongling Hi-Tech's money will not be wasted, and it may even be profitable!

"If President Shen is willing to let Lin Qijian serve as the honorary dean of the Semiconductor College, Dongxin Semiconductor can donate a new teaching building and some experimental research and development equipment to the semiconductor major of Pingyang University!"

Hearing the conditions proposed by Li Dongling, Shen Qingyuan couldn't help but smile. What was a little bit of false fame? Shen Qingyuan had long seen through false fame, otherwise he would not have lowered himself to find Li Dongling and begged for cooperation with Dongling Hi-Tech.

"Mr. Li, you are too kind. Pingyang University and Dongling Hi-Tech are closely related, so it is natural that they should cooperate with each other!
I will report the Lin Qijian Semiconductor College to the education department of Hanxi Province after I return. I will definitely not let down the talents like Dr. Lin Qijian!"

Shen Qingyuan patted his chest and agreed. It was just an empty title, in exchange for a teaching building and research and development equipment. If Dongling Hi-Tech gave more, he would give Lin Qijian an honorary principal. Shen Qingyuan was willing to do so!
