Reborn since 1993

Chapter 556 Price
After hearing what Tao Yan said, Jiang Suyi finally understood where Pingyang University's tuition exemption, accommodation fee, and Qilin Scholarship came from. She didn't expect that a considerable part of it was provided by Dongling Hi-Tech.

Jiang Suyi is a girl from Gansu Province. She has good academic performance, but her family background is not outstanding. Her father is an employee of a state-owned machinery factory in the town, and her mother is a temporary worker in a local food factory.

But these days, state-owned factories are having a hard time. Jiang Suyi's mother's food factory has been shut down for two years due to the impact of foreign food, and wages have long been unable to be paid.

Her father's state-owned factory originally produced parts for a tractor factory, but now it can only barely maintain the status of paying basic wages.

Jiang Suyi has a younger sister who is still in school. With her grades, it is not difficult for her to apply to another university with an admission score higher than Pingyang University.

But at Binh Yang University, with Jiang Suyi's grades, she can enjoy full tuition and accommodation exemption, and can also apply for scholarships, Qilin Awards, etc. Not only does she not have to spend any money at Binh Yang University, she can even take some of the money back to subsidize her family.

But if she goes to other universities, she will not be considered a child of destiny. Even if she can apply for a scholarship, it is hard to say whether it will be approved. Another point is that tuition, accommodation, meals, etc., even if they can be reduced a little, it is impossible to waive them all. Jiang Suyi will have to bear part of it herself.

If she goes to other universities, the Jiang family will have to tighten their belts and may not be able to survive. Her sister will definitely not be able to afford the tuition.

Pingyang University is one of the few universities in China that can be attended for free. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is one of the few universities that can be chosen by a family like Jiang Suyi.

Like Jiang Suyi, there are many students who come to Pingyang University. Before this year's college entrance examination, Pingyang University sent people to the surrounding provinces and cities of Hanxi to carry out a wave of publicity.

As for the Qilin Scholarship, it now cooperates with more than 30 universities and has become one of the main awards for subsidizing students in many universities.

However, Dongling Hi-Tech and Zhixing Foundation did not publicize the award in a big way, which made the Qilin Scholarship very famous. But if you have not read the news reports about the Qilin Award or specifically inquired about it, you may not know its relationship with the Li family.

Li Dongling himself did not have too many expectations for the Qilin Scholarship. He did not expect that this award would help him cultivate many talented people and make them grateful to the Li family. Li Dongling did not expect at all.

If we launch the Kirin Award and expect to get a certain amount of return, then the estimated return ratio will not be proportional at all, or even not enough to make back the investment, because human nature is unpredictable.

After all, the Qilin Award can cultivate some talents. Some of the people who receive the Qilin Award will speak well of the Li family and support the Li family at critical moments in the future, which will benefit the Li family infinitely.

"The Qilin Scholarship was actually established by Li Dongling!"

Jiang Suyi said to Tao Yan in surprise. This was really beyond her expectations. She had always felt that giant companies like Dongling Hi-Tech that often appeared in TV news and newspapers were very far away from her. Unexpectedly, they had become related to her.

Seeing that the door of the auditorium of Pingyang University, which was just completed this year, had been opened, Tao Yan pulled Jiang Suyi and squeezed inside.

After "going with the flow" and being swept into the auditorium by the crowd, Jiang Suyi saw that the auditorium, which could accommodate nearly 1,500 people, was now full. Many people simply stood in the back and in the aisles, and there were people outside trying to squeeze in.

This kind of scene made Jiang Suyi secretly shocked. She had never attended a concert, but she felt that this scene was probably no worse than those concerts.

Looking at the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the people around her, Jiang Suyi had a new understanding of Li Dongling's influence.

After waiting for a while, Li Dongling and Lin Qijian, along with the school leaders of Pingyang University and people from the municipal government, came into the auditorium together.

"This year is a transition year for Binh Duong University, and it will be remembered in the history of the university. Binh Duong University is reborn from the ashes this year!"

Shen Qingyuan was the first to go on stage. People in the auditorium might not understand what he said, but in the future history of Binh Yang University, this year will probably be highlighted. It was this year that Binh Yang University completely changed.

After Shen Qingyuan, a leader from the provincial government's education department spoke, followed by personnel from the Pingyang municipal government's education department, the Pingyang Municipal Education Bureau, etc.

These speeches were basically repetitive platitudes, and the people below were all listening with a lack of interest. They had squeezed in today, having come all the way from the provincial capital, not to listen to these things.

At the end, there were even some boos, but Shen Qingyuan was not annoyed. He was not such a conservative person. He was young once, and he had dealt with young people for so many years. He knew young people's minds too well.

Shen Qingyuan smiled and said to Li Dongling, "It seems that the students don't want to listen to us old guys nagging, but want to hear Mr. Li teach them the "true scriptures" of making money!"

"Principal Shen, you are joking!" Li Dongling said helplessly. He didn't come here today to take over the show.

When a student who was in charge of the opening ceremony took the stage, "Now let's welcome the special guest speaker, the founder of Zhixing Foundation, Mr. Li Dongling, to the stage for a speech!"

In the academic and educational industry, the identity of the founder of Zhixing Foundation is much higher than that of the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech, and it is more important in this industry. When the emcee called out Li Dongling's name, the auditorium, which was still drowsy just now, suddenly burst into applause.

Amidst the applause, Li Dongling walked onto the stage and looked at the excited, expectant and young faces below. Li Dongling knew very well that a large number of them came over not to listen to his bullshit talk.

Instead, he wanted to get a chance to make a fortune from Li Dongling, wanted to know what the next trend would be, and wanted to make his first pot of gold!

Times have changed. Since thousands of people went into business, the social atmosphere has changed from idealistic romanticism to pragmatism, and it has become a wealth-only theory, with the standard for measuring success or failure being based on one's net worth.

It is true that university is an ivory tower, but it cannot be separated from society after all. It has also begun to be affected. This can be seen from the fact that a few years ago, from Bill Gates to Giant Boss Shi, and then to Li Dongling, they have successively become the most popular entrepreneurial idols among young people.

As for the poets who were once highly respected by colleges and universities, no one has mentioned them anymore, because that thing doesn’t make money and may even make you starve. Who would be willing to learn that thing? Now everyone wants to learn the dragon-slaying skills that will make them rich overnight!

However, no matter how you think about it, in such a public place, some things cannot be said so bluntly, and you still have to drink the poisonous chicken soup.

“Everyone feels that the era they live in is the worst era, but it may be just the opposite. When the torrent of history flows by like a surging river, the era they don’t like may become the golden age in the eyes of the next generation!
This shabby and disgusting era may become an era in which the next generation can find gold just by bending down! "

Li Dongling said this while standing on the stage. Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and many people thought that Li Dongling was joking.

Is this a good era? For people living in this era, the state-owned factories that were once regarded as iron rice bowls have collapsed one after another. The universities that were once free to attend after thousands of people crossed the single-plank bridge have started to charge tuition.

Once you were admitted to university, you became a candidate for cadre. Now you have to pay for your tuition yourself, and there is no job assigned after graduation.

Can we say that it is good for people living in such an era?
Anyway, after hearing what Li Dongling said, the thousands of people below thought that Li Dongling was talking nonsense. Countless people believed that they were the most unlucky generation and did not believe in this poisonous chicken soup at all.

Li Dongling chuckled at the laughter below and didn't care. No era is perfect. After a decade or two, the era that he once hated might become the era that he misses the most.

“Once, we may have thought that everything we did was in vain, but we are also part of history!

Where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be opened. What we do now may be able to change the direction of the wheel of history in the next ten or twenty years!
I believe that all of you present here will become the most special class of Pingyang University. In the future, you will change Pingyang University, and China may also change because of Pingyang University. You will be the pride of Pingyang University, and Pingyang University will also be proud of you! "

"Wow"

When Li Dongling finished speaking, deafening applause broke out in the auditorium, and Shen Qingyuan looked at Li Dongling with touched eyes.

Many people heard that Li Dongling's speech was poisonous chicken soup, but so what? Many media are now commenting that their freshmen are a polluted generation, a lost generation, and will not be able to be reused in the future.

But Li Dongling declared that these freshmen were not the scraps of society, but people with a mission. They would change Pingyang University, change the entire country, and witness history. For fledglings who have not yet left school, who would not be confused after drinking such poisonous chicken soup?
After Li Dongling finished his speech, he was about to leave, but a loud noise came from the scene and many people raised their hands, wanting to ask questions to Li Dongling.

Seeing that Li Dongling refused to answer questions, they refused to give up. As a last resort, Li Dongling had to answer a few questions.

"On the right, student number six in the fifth row, you don't have to jump, I saw it!"

Li Dongling pointed in a direction, and a boy wearing glasses stopped jumping immediately. After taking the microphone, he immediately asked Li Dongling, "Mr. Li, which industry do you think has the most opportunities in the future?"

"You want to ask which industry is the easiest to make money in?"

As soon as Li Dongling said this, there was a burst of laughter in the auditorium. The boy with glasses just pushed his glasses without any embarrassment. He just asked the question that everyone in the auditorium wanted to ask.

“No one knows who will get rich tomorrow!”

“But I hope this opportunity is the Internet!”

“I believe that the Internet will be the industry with the most opportunities in the future. It may change the fate of countless people!”

"Of course, it is impossible for any industry to have only success and no failure. On the contrary, successful ones are the exception. The same is true for the Internet, but the chance of success may be greater than in other industries!"
