Chapter 163 Spend other people’s money to do your own things

In less than half an hour, Zhang Wanli appeared in front of Qin Shaoyan.

Just like last time, the car was light and simple, with only an assistant and driver.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Wanli looked at Qin Shaoyan and asked expressionlessly: "Tell me, Mr. Qin, what do you think?"

"I think this is a good opportunity for external publicity." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said righteously, "We must work hard to grasp it and implement the Olympic promotion activities through an attitude of excellence."

"We will vigorously and reliably promote the promotion of the 08 Olympic Games, convey China's Olympic Games confidence and philosophy to the world, promote the national spirit, and display China's own image."

"Don't talk official talk with me." Zhang Wanli interrupted Qin Shaoyan directly, "First question, what do you do to convince the International Olympic Committee?"

"The American Facebook website is mainly responsible for contacting and cooperating with the International Olympic Committee." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "They are responsible for public relations and negotiating cooperation issues."

Zhang Wanli was a little surprised, "What is the American Facebook website?"

"It's the Campus Network in the United States." Qin Shaoyan said simply, "Facebook and Campus Network are strategic partners, and this Global International Marathon is co-organized by us."

Zhang Wanli nodded and understood what Qin Shaoyan meant. This was the website's promotion of word-of-mouth and image building.

Zhang Wanli frowned and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "The United States will provide the money, and they will lead the activities."

"Promoting the Olympics is also a promotion for our campus network." Qin Shaoyan showed a sincere expression, "We originally had this part of the budget, so we can kill two birds with one stone."

"It can not only complete the promotion of our website, but also carry out charity activities. At the same time, it demonstrates the social responsibility of our website and spreads positive energy to school students, a win-win situation."

"We always spare no effort for public welfare." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

"What should you do if uncontrollable factors arise, such as Facebook in the United States suddenly going back on its word or making some small moves to refuse to make things difficult for our propaganda work?"

"Two hundred million?" Zhang Wanli glanced at Qin Shaoyan in shock, "Mr. Qin is so generous. You spend so much money just for the publicity of the Olympics?"

Zhang Wanli frowned, "Have you calculated how much this event will cost?"

It can help gain the goodwill of administrative agencies, increase your sense of presence, and make it easier to get things done.

"It's better to keep a low profile. After all, this year is the Athens Olympics. We can't dominate the event."

"The American Facebook company is also responsible for most of the funds, and the campus network is mainly responsible for the domestic part of China." Qin Shaoyan raised two fingers, "Our website has prepared 200 million, which should be enough."

Qin Shaoyan showed a confident smile, "Leader Zhang, the major shareholder of Facebook in the United States is a company called TNB, and I am the owner of TNB."

"During the publicity process, the main publicity target is the Athens Olympics, and the Yanjing Olympics is in a secondary position, which is both low-key and able to highlight the significance of publicity."

Only then did Zhang Wanli feel relieved, "Mr. Qin, you have thought very carefully."

Zhang Wanli glanced at Qin Shaoyan and said, "Tell me the truth."

"Of course, during the media promotion process, Facebook will conduct special public relations activities to ensure that news reports will not be biased."

"In other words, I am the big boss of Facebook, and I will destroy the jobs of anyone who dares to cause trouble."

"The main purpose of this World Marathon is the global promotion of Facebook. It is a purely commercial event."

Qin Shaoyan took a world map, spread it in front of Zhang Wanli, stretched out his hand and pointed, "Leader Zhang, the main plan is this."

“The first leg of the World Marathon starts in Los Angeles, then Vancouver, London, UK, Stockholm, Sweden, Helsinki, Finland, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Antwerp, Belgium, Paris, France, Berlin, Germany, Barcelona, ​​Spain, Rome, Italy, and then Athens, Greece. "

"After the competition in Athens, all the athletes arrived in Yanjing." Zhang Wanli was surprised when he saw these cities. "These are all cities that have hosted the Olympic Games."

"Yes, we specially selected this." Qin Shaoyan nodded.

Zhang Wanli hesitated, "There are so many cities, so it will cost a lot of money."

"This is a preliminary plan. If the cost is too high, some cities will be cut off, mainly Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, ​​and Greece." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "If the money is not enough, I will find American venture capital institutions. financing.”

Zhang Wanli stared at the map for a while and smiled, "Mr. Qin is really generous."

"At that time, IOC officials will be present in Los Angeles, and people from the IOC will also be invited to attend the Yanjing station." Qin Shaoyan reached out and said, "After completing the competition in Yanjing, the athletes will go south to Jinling. "

Zhang Wanli was stunned and hesitated for a long time, "Why do you still want to go to Jinling?"

"Well, it's because of the National Games next year." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "2005 is the International Year of Sports, and it coincides with Jinling hosting the th National Games."

“Including Jinling as a competition site shows our support for the National Games.”

Zhang Wanli glanced at Qin Shaoyan and suddenly asked: "Besides Jinling, are there other cities in the country?"

"There may be one or two." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "We will decide later based on the situation."

Zhang Wanli glanced at Qin Shaoyan and showed a meaningful smile. He reached out and took a picture of the map, "The plan is good, but your first step is how to do the work of the International Olympic Committee well and convince them."

"Facebook will set up a special public relations team to take charge of this matter. There are professionals in the United States to do this." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and said firmly, "It should be no problem. It's just a matter of spending more money."

Zhang Wanli glanced at Qin Shaoyan speechlessly, thought for a while and then seriously warned: "Don't get involved in this matter, don't get into trouble."

"I asked Facebook to find a third party to do it." Qin Shaoyan added, "I only assign tasks. How they do it is their business."

Zhang Wanli looked down at the map for a while, then looked up at Qin Shaoyan, "Mr. Qin, please write down a detailed plan. I will take it back and report it to the leader for further study."

Qin Shaoyan took out a stack of bound documents from the table, "I've already written them."

Zhang Wanli took it, looked at it for a few times, and praised: "Mr. Qin is very meticulous in his work."

"Okay, please keep me informed of any developments from the International Olympic Committee."

After sending Zhang Wanli away, Qin Shaoyan called Fred again to inquire about the situation.

Fred said in a relaxed tone: "I have informed Sequoia, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. They are also more interested in this plan and want to know more about the detailed plan."

"I'll make a PPT and send it to you, and you can tell them about it." Qin Shaoyan replied casually.

"Well, they want to hear what you have to say, boss." Fred said with some embarrassment.

"I don't have time to go to the United States." Qin Shaoyan refused directly.

He has run several times and even vomited on airplanes. He really doesn’t want to fly there again.

Fred thought for a moment, "Then I'll let them find you."

"They also want to talk to you about the next round of financing."

"Tell them I'm welcome at any time." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
