Chapter 165 Missed the flight? Delay the plane's takeoff!

Peking University's anniversary celebration is still in full swing
Whether it was the May 4th Youth Day performances organized by students from various areas of Yanyuan, or the school anniversary performances in the auditorium, they all attracted a large number of people's attention.
After the initial ceremony of the school anniversary, all the bigwigs of Peking University came to the conference room at the same time.
Peking University President Lin Guangzhong.
Three vice-presidents.
Several directors and deans.
It can be said that the entire leadership of Peking University is gathered here.
Gu Heng originally planned to slip away right after pretending to be awesome, but it was obvious that he was overthinking.
Just after coming down from the stage, before he had time to return to his seat, Liu Qiao brought him to this conference room.
Looking at the group of big guys in front of him, Gu Heng couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
These are the top figures in China's education sector.
Although they do not have the same actual power as the administrative officials of provinces and ministries, their reputation and prestige are no less than those of high-ranking officials.
It's fun to show off, but you'll end up in the crematorium later.
Gu Heng now felt uncomfortable all over as he felt the scrutiny of these school leaders.
"Student Gu Heng, right?"

After a long time, Principal Lin Guangzhong finally spoke.

Gu Heng nodded when he heard this, and smiled and greeted Lin Guangzhong: "Hello, Principal."

"Sit first."

Gu Heng also felt that standing was not a big deal, so he didn't act pretentiously and just sat down on the chair next to him, right opposite Lin Guangzhong.

"Can you please repeat to us here what you just said in the auditorium?"

Gu Heng did not hesitate and said, "The 1000 million yuan donated to the school has been deposited into the school's donation account. I believe all the school leaders should be aware of this.

As for my speech in the auditorium today, it was entirely because I was influenced by Academician Chen Zhizhong and made the promise in public on a whim.

There is no need to repeat it, but the general idea is that I plan to set up two scholarship funds jointly supervised by the school and me, with me providing the funds and the school operating them, to provide a small amount of help to students in need of support in our school. "

Before Lin Guangzhong could speak, a bald, slightly fat old man in his 50s spoke directly, "Do you know that you need to be responsible for what you said? Why didn't you discuss it with the school in advance before taking the initiative?

Now you just acted first and reported later, and the media reporters recorded everything. If the plan you mentioned is not implemented later, will the public opinion impact be yours or the school's?!"

Gu Heng couldn't help but frowned when he heard what the bald old man said.

I admit that I was indeed a little reckless.

But no matter what, Peking University should be the beneficiary, right?

Why should I be criticized by this old fat guy just for donating money?
As if he had sensed Gu Heng's displeasure, Lin Guangzhong interrupted the bald old man and said to Gu Heng, "Don't take Director Xu's words to heart. He has been teaching at Peking University for more than 30 years. From an ordinary lecturer to the current director of the Academic Affairs Office, he has regarded the school as a part of his life. He is also afraid that the school's reputation will be affected."

After that, he continued, "But do you know how much it costs for what you just spent a few minutes speaking in the auditorium?"

Gu Heng shook his head honestly.

He really didn't know the exact amount.

Maybe 30 to 40 million per year
The bald old man looked at Gu Heng and felt that he knew nothing about anything, and he became furious again.

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you. 2000 student scholarships equal 2000 million a year! As for the number of financial aids, the tuition for undergraduates in our school is about 5000 yuan a year, which is 20000 yuan for four years. In addition to the living allowance, a poor student will have to receive a subsidy of 3 to 4 yuan!

At present, we have more than 1000 poor students who meet the criteria for admission to Peking University, and the number of poor students enrolled each year will not be less than 200. Calculated on a four-year cycle, the expenditure on poverty scholarships will reach about 5000 million, with an average annual expenditure of 1250 million. In addition to scholarships, you need to donate more than 3500 million to the school a year to barely maintain the normal operation of the fund!
And this is not a one-time donation, you need to spend every year! At least 4 years! That is 1.4 million!"

The difference between this and the number I calculated myself is not that big.
More than 4 million in years.
Not a lot.
But Gu Heng was a little puzzled when he saw the bald old man.
It's your own money that you're donating, not his money, so why is he so excited?
Before Gu Heng could say anything, the bald old man started to output again.
However, this time he was not talking to Gu Heng, but to Liu Qiao: "This is totally nonsense. I strongly disagreed with the previous proposal to donate 1000 million yuan to give Gu Heng an alumni quota. The school spirit of our Peking University has been corrupted time and time again by such unscrupulous operations!
Now they are talking about setting up a foundation. They are simply treating our school as nothing! If something goes wrong with this hundreds of millions of dollars of student aid project, our Peking University’s century-old reputation will be damaged. Who will bear the consequences? Who can bear it? ! Can you, Liu Qiao, do it? "

Liu Qiao was scolded by the bald old man, but his expression remained unchanged. He just sat quietly in his seat.

What Gu Heng did today was indeed too reckless.
So it is normal to be criticized by conservatives like Director Xu.
But Gu Heng had informed him in advance, and he also agreed
So you should take responsibility for this situation.
You can't just sit back and do nothing, enjoying the credit brought by Gu Heng's donation without taking any responsibility at all, right?
There is no such good thing in this world.
But Gu Heng couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up, interrupted Director Xu's speech, and said to Lin Guangzhong: "Principal, I admit that what I did today was indeed a little ill-considered.

If the school is unwilling to accept my donation, it doesn't matter. I will immediately contact the media to clarify the matter! All the impact caused today will be borne by me alone.

But I have one thing to say. In order to protect my reputation, I will continue to set up the foundation after the media clarification. As for whether the partner school is Tsinghua University, Fudan University or Zhejiang University, I am not sure. I will see which university is willing to accept the donation. "

Even clay figures have tempers
Not to mention that Gu Heng is still a living person.
I donated money but still got criticized. Where can I seek justice?
When Director Xu heard what Gu Heng said, he stared at him with wide eyes: "Are you threatening the school?!"

Gu Heng just glanced at the bald old man, and responded in a lazy and indifferent tone: "I think Director Xu, you must have misunderstood the question. What do you mean by threatening the school? The money is my own. Since Director Xu is not willing to accept my donation, then I can donate it to whoever I want, right?
What? Director Xu, do you have the power to stop me from donating to other schools? "

No university would refuse a donation of over 100 million yuan.

As long as Gu Heng makes the announcement, it is guaranteed that the foreign affairs departments of many universities will come forward the next day to solicit donations.

This is also the reason why Gu Heng is so fearless.
But as long as things haven't reached that point, Gu Heng doesn't want to do things so drastically.
If this were to happen, it would be like rubbing Peking University's face on the ground.
Peking University's influence in China
If it were really for me now, I would probably have to go abroad to develop my career.
The bald old man couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had been contradicted like this. His eyes were as big as bull testicles. He was about to say something when Lin Guangzhong interrupted him directly: "Director Xu, if you have nothing else, go to the auditorium and see if there is any emergency that needs to be handled."

The bald old man also knew that Lin Guangzhong was getting impatient, so he restrained himself a little and sat back in his seat without saying a word.
Lin Guangzhong saw that Director Xu did not leave, but he did not care. Instead, he said to Gu Heng: "In fact, we can't blame Director Xu for his harsh words. This is a serious matter. Once the project is launched, it cannot be stopped. It must be carried out for at least 4 school years.

If you encounter financial problems during your studies, the school will need to fill the funding gap.

But the school's money is carefully calculated, so we have to be cautious. Do you understand this, Gu Heng?"

Gu Heng nodded. The principal is the principal, and his speaking level is obviously not on the same level as the bald old man.
It's the same lack of self-confidence, but the words spoken out sound much better, instead of spewing shit like a bald old man.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng stood up and said directly: "Principal, I also know that it should be difficult for the school to trust me, and I understand this very well.

So, I came up with a plan.

That is, I will directly inject all the funds for four years into one account at one time, and the school and I will jointly supervise it. If the project is successful in these four years, I will continue to inject capital into the fund. If there are many problems in the project, I will directly terminate the project after four years.

In this way, the school shouldn’t have to worry about subsequent problems, right? "

really
As Gu Heng finished speaking, everyone looked at him in disbelief.
Director Xu just gave the approximate figures.
1.4 billion
This is definitely not a small amount.
This has reached one eighth of Peking University's annual donations.
"you sure?"

Gu Heng listened to Lin Guangzhong's surprised tone, shrugged and said casually: "It's just over 100 million, not a very large amount."

Lin Guangzhong: “.”

Liu Qiao: “.”

Director Xu: “.”

Peking University leader: “.”

Feeling Gu Heng's casual tone, they were speechless.
Can't blame Gu Heng
The system's reward threshold has just been lifted
He also rewarded himself with 10 billion.
Gu Heng is now at the most financially adequate stage since he acquired the system.
Including the 10 billion in the company account, Gu Heng now has 21 billion in cash.
More than 100 million is really nothing to Gu Heng.
"If that's the case, then we should launch this student aid program. We can't just let you, Gu Heng, pay for it. I'll have someone come up with a specific charter and set up a student aid foundation with Peking University as the main body. The school will invest 20% and hold 2% of the shares, and have the right to supervise, monitor, and operate.

As for the remaining 80%, you, Gu Heng, will pay for it.

The name of the foundation is what you said in the auditorium, Gu Heng Student Aid Fund, but we need to add a prefix, Peking University Gu Heng Student Aid Fund, that should be fine, right?"

Gu Heng had no objection.

With the addition of the two words "Peking University" in the prefix, the entire foundation has become much more prestigious, and my name is still in it. What else is there to choose from?
A group of people sat in the meeting room and simply discussed the most basic rules.
after half an hour
Gu Heng looked at the time.
He stood up and said to the group of Peking University leaders, "Excuse me, teachers. I will send professionals to follow up on the establishment of the fund. I have something else to do in the afternoon and need to go to Yangcheng. The plane will take off in half an hour, so I have to rush over now."

"Which airport?"

"Capital International Airport."

Liu Qiao frowned upon hearing this and said, "Just book the next flight. It takes at least 40 minutes from Yanyuan to Capital International Airport. We don't have enough time."

Gu Heng shook his head helplessly: "I can't take the next flight. At 3 pm, Yangcheng Municipal Government will hold its last meeting on the international racetrack project. My company has obtained a 20% share. The final negotiations on the investment funds will be held in the afternoon."

"Yangcheng International Circuit? This is not a small project, right?"

They are all bigwigs. Even if they don’t know about Guangzhou’s biggest municipal project in 2024, they must have heard about it.
Nearly 20 billion projects
Gu Heng can take 20% of the share.
That's a multi-billion dollar investment.
No wonder Gu Heng could treat more than 100 million as nothing.
Gu Heng didn't explain too much. He apologized to them again and took out his cell phone. While talking on the phone, he walked out of the meeting room.
The leaders of Peking University all stared at Gu Heng's back in silence.
They knew Gu Heng's identity clearly.
Everyone knows that EMBA is a gilded major, and its purpose is to generate income for the school.
But I didn't expect that when I enrolled students today, I would suddenly recruit a big fish.
Less than a month after enrolling, he gave the school 1000 million yuan, and now he is spending another 1.4 million yuan to set up a student aid fund.
For a time, the name Gu Heng left a deep impression in the minds of these bigwigs.
Especially Liu Qiao.
I wanted to hug Gu Heng and give him a big kiss.
During the critical period when he was competing for the position of vice president, Gu Heng helped him get promoted with one political achievement after another.
Even my own son doesn't love me like this.
Liu Qiao's mind is now full of thoughts on how to repay Gu Heng's actions.
Gu Heng, who had stepped out of the conference room door, was now walking quickly towards the parking lot.
The phone in his hand was dialed directly to Will Riggs.

Soon the call was connected.
"Mr. Gu, is there any problem with the use of the black card?"

If it was normal, Gu Heng might have exchanged a few polite words with him, but now time was pressing and Gu Heng had no interest in teasing him, so he said directly: "I remember you said before that one of the privileges of the black card is that it can stop the plane from taking off, right?"

Will Riggs on the other end of the phone sat up straight as soon as he heard it: "Yes, Mr. Gu, do you need anything?"

"I have an important meeting in Yangcheng at 3 pm. I'm still in Beijing now. My plane will take off in more than half an hour, but it may take me an hour to get to the airport. I wonder if I can delay the flight by half an hour?"

"Which company? Which flight?"

Will Riggs means to be brief.

After Gu Heng informed him of the flight information, he received a response soon.

"Hainan Airlines is a partner of our company, so it should be able to be resolved. Mr. Gu, you can rush to the airport now. I will have someone contact Hainan Airlines' emergency office. I will also contact the Capital International Airport and have them prepare in advance so that you can board the plane as quickly as possible!"

"Thanks."

“It is our honor to serve Mr. Gu.”

After saying this, Will Riggs immediately mobilized all the employees in the department to start solving the problem for Gu Heng.
This was the first time that Gu Heng exercised the privileges of the black card after obtaining it, and there must not be any mistakes.

Gu Heng had already sat in the driver's seat and drove towards the Capital International Airport at the fastest speed.
While driving, I sigh at the charm of privilege.
Although black cards cannot have unlimited credit limits in the country.
But the privileges are still there.
It is impossible to miss a flight.
Wouldn't it be better to just delay the plane's takeoff?
