Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 213 Chapter 212, Next time I want to sit on the rostrum (5K)

On the stage, after a group of bigwigs finished their speeches, the host announced that the freshmen representatives would speak.

Kong Qi, who was standing next to him, gently touched Lin Chu's arm.

The procedures had been explained. Although Lin Chu was not qualified to go on the podium, being able to speak from the audience was considered a "special honor."

The manuscripts were all prepared, and Lin Chu only needed to read them according to the manuscript, and the job would be completed successfully.

At this moment, the other students also followed the procedure and burst into warm applause.

Lin Chu glanced around, picked up the speech, and began to read it as if nothing had happened.

"represent……"

"grateful……"

"effort……"

"expect……"

Every word was roughly the same, and its clear voice echoed throughout the auditorium.

I should feel "proud". After all, as the freshman representative, I am the leader among the freshmen.

But why does it feel so wrong?

Not happy.

No energy.

Lin Chu finished speaking casually, pursed his lips, waved to the crowd, and sat down.

Kong Qi glanced at him and felt that Lin Chu was not very interested, but it didn’t matter. As long as he looked okay, it was just a formality anyway.

He smiled and casually made a few compliments.

Lin Chu smiled and nodded as if nothing had happened.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Chu finally figured it out.

First, respect for knowledge does not mean respect for the school. These are two different things. Peking University has no halo in my heart.

Second, these so-called processes are really empty and boring.

Third, if I were sitting on the podium and saying whatever I wanted, I would definitely be very excited, but being a "puppet" is meaningless.

"Brother Kong, let's discuss something."

Lin Chu suddenly said with a smile.

"Ok?"

Kong Qi looked at him seriously: "You say."

"Next time you speak, arrange a seat for me on the podium."

Lin Chu said in a joking manner.

Kong Qi:?
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly came to his senses and thought to himself that this young man really has a strong desire to be an official. He has just entered the school and he is already thinking about becoming a leader. Why don’t you become the president of Peking University?

However, this is normal.

"I can understand that Mr. Lin must feel a gap in his heart from being the head of a company to being a student. However, tempering one's mentality is also part of the school curriculum. When you are in a low position, it is not advisable to be aggressive or to give up."

"I believe in you. You will definitely be able to sit on the podium at the graduation ceremony. As for how to do it, that is your homework."

Kong Qi said with a smile.

He has rich theoretical experience, speaks in a very organized way, and is quite good at encouraging people.

Lin Chu touched his nose and nodded slightly.

This "counselor" is quite good and seems to be very capable.

Although the pie in the sky is also a set of sets.

But the mentality he described was really not that different.

……

After the process in the auditorium was over, everyone went to the playground.

Drones were flying in the sky and photographers were running on the ground to take photos for everyone.

The weather is very good with blue sky and white clouds.

After the group photo shoot, it’s time for private photo shoots. Many students are now starting to look for big guys to scan their faces and take group photos.

In such an occasion, the boss would naturally not refuse, even out of politeness.

Lin Chu looked around and didn't recognize any of them.

However, after a while, Kong Qi came over and said with a smile: "Director Lin, I have arranged the main table for you at the dinner."

Uh.

Lin Chu glanced at him, and for a moment, he felt a little amused and helpless.

His behavior is like putting a pacifier in a crying child's mouth immediately.

But of course it's well-intentioned.

"Thanks."

Patting his shoulder, Lin Chu said casually.

At this time, Lu Ming also walked over here, chatting casually, and asked with a smile: "Brother Kong, I have an idea, I want to consult your opinion to see if it is feasible?"

"You said."

Kong Qi knew him and could call him by name. He was already familiar with the information of each student and could identify each one.

This is basic homework.

In his opinion, Lu Ming should be Lin Chu's core team.

The two of them signed up at the same time, paid the money together, and Lu Ming also worked in Lin Chu's club.

"Here's what I think. For further study, it's natural to combine theory with practice. I have a bold idea. There are a total of 60 people in our class. We can use these 60 people as the core team. Everyone can contribute some money, not a lot, capped at 10,000, or a few thousand is fine, to work on a project together."

“If it can be done, it can be considered a commercial activity. If it cannot be done, it can be considered a social activity practice.”

"Is this allowed by the school?"

Lu Ming asked casually. He was still a little obsessed with that "feeling of youth". He proposed it to Lin Chu when he came here, but was rejected by Lin Chu. So now the idea of ​​version 2.0 has come out.

The fun is getting bigger.

It also sounds more awesome.

Hearing this, Lin Chu glanced at him, and for a moment, his heart was slightly moved.

This version is indeed much stronger than what Lu Ming and I had talked about before, and it is quite interesting.

Kong Qi looked at Lu Ming, then at Lin Chu.

He was a little suspicious that what Lu Ming said at this moment was instructed by Lin Chu.

He instinctively thought that this might be the prototype of "illegal fund-raising".
Two years ago, something like this happened in an MBA class at a prestigious university. The most prestigious person in the class led most of the people to set up a Ponzi scheme on a fairly large scale, with a total amount of funds exceeding 100 million.

After absorbing the members of the class, they began to spread privately with these people as the core seeds, and the scale became larger and larger.

Although, in the end, no big trouble was caused because the school discovered it early, stopped it urgently and the funds were withdrawn, it still made many people sweat.

If this goes viral, many people will be in trouble.

Thinking about this, Kong Qi quickly responded: "This school doesn't have an explicit ban, but I think it's better to let them know. Please write an application and send it over."

Follow the process.

If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me.

After hearing this, Lu Ming was speechless and smiled for a moment.

"Is it so troublesome?"

"Then we won't play anymore."

"We are all adults now. Even if we were undergraduates, it is normal for us to start a business together when we were in school. Now that we are all studying for an MBA, do we still need the school's approval?"

"Peking University is a bit conservative."

He's a little annoyed.

Quite annoying.

It would be fine if the bet with Lin Chu was rejected, but now there is an even more awesome plan in front of me, and I have to apply to the school?

Shen your mother.

Stupid school.

The three words "slightly conservative" immediately hurt Kong Qi a little.

He took a deep breath, and although he remained polite on his face, his tone became a little stiff: "Entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship, and social practice is social practice. There is no middle ground."

"It's normal for you to recruit people to start a business together. You just need to go through the formal business registration process. The school can't do anything about it.

"If you want to do social practice activities, or within the school platform, you must apply."

"clear?"

Seeing that Lin Chu was laughing all the time and had no intention of objecting, Lu Ming patted Kong Qi's shoulder with a smile when he heard his attitude. "Oh, it's all right, why are you still angry? Okay, then I'll do it on my own, start a business formally, and connect privately. Hey, I shouldn't have mentioned this to you. You're still too honest."

Kong Qi: ...?
Are people from Pengcheng so lively?

This was his first time here to be a counselor for an MBA class. He had previously worked in the ivory tower circle, and it was his first time to see this kind of "old hand" in society.

Lin Chu sensed Kong Qi's discomfort, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lu Ming is my brother, his family has several buildings, he's a rich second-generation, he just wants to have fun, he won't get into any big trouble. Hey, do you want to join us? It shouldn't be a problem for a college teacher to do business, right? It's because you're close to the water."

"The limit is 10,000 per person, and no additional investment will be made. It will last for two years. If there is any loss, I will guarantee it and compensate you in full."

My brother started the fire and I fanned the flames.

Lin Chu suddenly found the fun.

You didn’t play it when you were an undergraduate, so why aren’t you playing it now?
Kong Qi stared at the two of them in amazement, his sharp Adam's apple moved, and for a moment... he was really a little tempted.

If Lin Chu said so, then it seems that there is really no problem.

Who doesn’t want to make money? Besides, you don’t have to invest much. If they succeed, the big guys will eat the meat and you can also get some soup.

Even more, from a broader perspective, it is possible to explore a new model for MBA classes.

——A class is a team that works together on a project for two years.

This is much more advanced than simple theoretical lectures and study tours.

Of course, it is also possible that it cannot be done, and the probability of this is not small, but with someone like Lin Chu taking the lead, even if it is just a small-scale effort, when it really starts, even if it is just for the sake of face, Lin Chu will not let the final defeat be too ugly.

"Let me think about it. Report your ideas to the school leaders in person. Do you have any specific entrepreneurial ideas now? Who is responsible for this?"

Kong Qi said seriously and asked another question.

"Of course Lu Ming is in charge."

"But I can number the tickets."

Lin Chu smiled.

Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, me."

I'll be in the front, and Brother Chu will cover the rear and command the center army!
Good brother, reliable!

"Okay, then classmate Lu Ming, come with me. Let's go and report now. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the leader is here. He will be returning to Beijing tonight."

Kong Qi said so immediately.

"No problem! Let's go!"

Lu Ming excitedly pulled him away.

Lin Chu laughed: "Come on!"

interesting.

Just play.

Ten thousand per person, let alone sixty people, even if only thirty people join, there will be three hundred thousand.

Lin Chu also wanted to see what tricks he could come up with.

Making money is secondary to me.

Mainly people.

As long as you contribute money, no matter how little, we all become a community of interests.

……

Hao Wenhua is taking a photo with several classmates at this moment. He is a professor of economics at Peking University and one of the vice presidents. The MBA is under his jurisdiction.

Kong Qi led Lu Ming towards this side, and on the way he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "So what specific project do you plan to do?"

This topic really stumped Lu Ming.

The decision was made in a rush, without thinking about what project to do.
Just e-commerce.

Sell ​​it.

Go live.

What can’t I sell?

Lu Ming subconsciously thought so in his heart, but he probably knew that it would not work to say so, so he continued to smile and said, "This is a business secret, Brother Kong, and let me keep it confidential for the time being."

Seeing that he looked so confident, and with Lin Chu's endorsement, Kong Qi hesitated for a moment, then temporarily believed it.

After all, he is a rich second-generation, so maybe he has some high-quality arbitrage projects?
The most profitable business in the world is naturally information asymmetry.

Even though the Internet has eliminated a lot of information gaps, what should be there is still there, but the thresholds and barriers are getting higher and higher.

"Principal Hao, are you free? I have a task to report to you."

After several classmates and Hao Wenhua finished filming, Kong Qi seized the opportunity and joined in at the right time.

In fact, he also considered whether to call Lin Chu over as some kind of endorsement.

After all, Lin Chu's status is not low. President Hao had asked about it before. He thought it was good that entrepreneurs of this level came to Peking University MBA, which shows that the influence of Peking University MBA class has increased in recent years. Objectively speaking, in the field of MBA, although the gold content of Peking University is also top-notch, it is still slightly inferior to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and Tsinghua University, and the alumni association is not as strong as those two.

However, thinking again, if Principal Hao refused, Lin Chu would lose face and lose all room for negotiation, so Kong Qi gave up the idea for the time being.

Let’s test Principal Hao’s attitude first.

"Okay, you say."

Hao Wenhua seemed very approachable and spoke with a smile.

"It's like this. Our classmate Lu Ming came up with an idea..."

Kong Qi then introduced Lu Ming's ideas to Hao Wenhua in full, focusing mainly on the new path of MBA, model innovation, and possible benefits in the future.

He knew that as a relatively young vice-president, Principal Hao always had new ideas, was not so traditional and conservative, and paid more attention to results than conventions.

"Oh? That's a good idea. They have done simulated stock trading before, right? But it didn't seem to make any progress. I think what's the point of virtual trading? If you want to do it, do it in real life. This is a good idea. I support it. A few hundred thousand in start-up capital is not a big deal."

"It's just that, have you thought about what project to do specifically?"

Hao Wenhua looked at Lu Ming and asked in a still warm tone.

Lu Ming:......

He was quite surprised.

I didn't expect that the principal would be so supportive and he was even prepared to organize private discussions.

However, along with the unexpected came embarrassment.

The specific business model has not yet been finalized.

But at this moment, people are waiting for words, and saying that you are not prepared seems to make you look very amateur.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Lu Ming remained strong and calm, speaking in a firm tone.

"I am planning to promote MBA courses. The specific model is divided into three parts. The first part is low-cost online promotion. We will take out some of the courses we have learned that are easy to spread and sell them at a low price through live broadcast. The unit price may be only a hundred yuan. The main purpose is to increase sales and create influence."

"The second part is to be a corporate think tank. With a base group, there must be a need for practice and to solve problems. It is similar to the model of corporate consulting. Whatever problems the client company encounters, they can directly discuss them and ask the teacher if they don't understand. Isn't this a paid membership?"

"The third part, the higher-end members, can just sign up for classes directly. By then, we will have an alumni association to act as an intermediary platform, connecting with companies on one hand, and talents, technology, and capital on the other hand... If the model works, we can make money no matter what."

Lu Ming listened to Lin Chu and Liu Junfeng talking about private board meetings every day, and he was familiar with them.

At this moment, I am just learning and applying it now. I make slight changes to that set of skills and copy it here.

Kong Qi:?
I was stunned.

Is this how he plans to play?
Hao Wenhua was also a little stunned.

But inside I was feeling a little amused and helpless.

He never expected that this student actually had such an idea and wanted to take advantage of the Peking University MBA class first!

Of course, Peking University’s MBA program is definitely valuable.

However, none of the professors have the time and energy to provide this kind of universal education.

It is indeed a genius idea to split up valuable knowledge and sell it retail.

The subsequent business path is also keeping up.

Although conversion rate is a problem and the biggest difficulty, this is precisely the value of what they do.

If I can really succeed and gain a certain influence, it would be equivalent to becoming a non-staff member of Peking University MBA.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I've been convinced by this idea. You can do it first. However, the school doesn't have the spare power to support you for now. But I can lend you the title of Peking University MBA. But let's make a gentleman's agreement that it's only for two years. After graduation, if you still can't produce any results, then I'll take it back. Is that okay?"

Hao Wenhua said with a smile.

There was nothing to worry about, so I just agreed.

Lu Ming sniffed.

My grass?

So easy?

Peking University... sure, awesome!
How can this be conservative!

It is clearly very free and inclusive!

"Okay, thank you for your support, Principal Hao. I will definitely not let you down. And thank you for your support, Teacher Kong."

Lu Ming immediately smiled and spoke politely.

Kong Qi looked at him deeply, pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said to Hao Wenhua: "President, I applied to join this project. After all, I have to consider supervising their operations to avoid unnecessary radical behavior. At the same time, I have to communicate and coordinate with the professors who teach the courses. If some professors have strong sectarian views, I will need to mediate."

Isn’t this exactly what a counselor does?
At this moment, Kong Qi also thought: the professors’ classes and the “copyright fees” of the courses, the knowledge in these courses, strictly speaking, must be intellectual property.

However, since the students have already paid tuition fees, it is no different from a university education, so there is no way to collect this money.

They can't afford it even if we collect it.

The start-up capital was only a few hundred thousand.

Therefore, we can only try our best to help them avoid such problems during the dissemination process.

As long as you don't sell the teacher's courseware directly, summarize the learning notes, make some adaptations, and add the students' own understanding, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Hao Wenhua looked at him thoughtfully, thought about it, and then smiled and said, "Okay, I approve it. You can join, but the term is two years. After this term, you must withdraw from their project."

Of course, there is the second half of the sentence that Hao Wenhua did not say - if this really happens and you want to resign, that's fine too.

But such words are certainly not befitting of a principal.

Kong Qi is his confidant, so he should be given some benefits, and he should also respect his own choice.

In colleges and universities, it's either promotion or dismissal, and the competition is fierce. It's not a bad idea to leave him a way out.

"Okay, thank you, Principal Hao."

Kong Qi immediately understood and said gratefully.

How could this happen?
